Next time you have a panic attack: get a large bowl. Fill it with cool or cold water. Take a deep breath and dunk your face in the bowl for as long as possible, ideally 20-30 seconds. Make sure the water goes up to your upper cheeks / temples. Repeat 5, 6, as many times until the panic recedes. If it feels like it's not working, keep doing it.

This is using the dive reflex, which is a mechanism mammals evolved for swimming underwater. It slows your heart rate, redistributes oxygen, does a bunch of stuff that helps calm you down. This means it's a physiological effect: if you keep doing it, it will work. If you're panicking about how it's not working, keep doing it. You don't need to "try to do it right", if you're holding your breath and have your face underwater, over time your body moves into a state incompatible with panic. You might still be anxious, but you won't be having a panic attack. However it treats the symptom not the cause, so you need to use other skills afterwards. This skill simply allows you to use other skills from a place of strength instead of a place of panic.

Using the dive reflex for panic attacks is an idea from Dialectal Behavior Therapy.

Good luck.
No, that makes no legal sense. Can you stop adding emotions? The day courts operate on blind emotion and hearsay is a sad day.
You can't mine Monero currently with GPUs?

I haven't mined in years and I know they changed away from the cryptonight algorithms but I used to mine on both CPU and GPU.
If they didn't give a fuck when those crimes were committed using fiat, why would they care when it's done using crypto?
I can tell you that having a small kid in Germany is a pain, as kindergartens can be hard to get into. Also, the country is stuck in the 80s when it comes to bureaucracy and digitalization. Depending on where you live, you may find it difficult to have friends and adapt - the West/North being much more accepting than the South/East. This is not to say that Germany is a bad option, but it is a weird country that takes some effort to live in as a foreigner.

I haven't lived in the UK or Switzerland, but if you have an option to be anywhere in Europe, you might want to consider Denmark. Copenhagen is very beautiful and a delight to live in, and public services are all top notch. Other options I would personally consider are Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal, but I haven't lived there as well.
This is incredible, one can destroy anyone and any organization with this amount of unchecked power.

> If you aren't in it for pure fitness, get an electric bike.

Depends heavily on terrain, weather, and the health of the rider.

Get an electric bike if you wouldn't get on a normal bicycle otherwise. Get a normal bicycle if that works for you. The health benefits are substantial, they're cheaper, less likely to be stolen (because everyone wants en e-bike), and it's one less thing that can break or need replacing in time. Not having a battery to back you up also stops you from getting dependant on it.

I don't own a bike for pure fitness (that's a desirable side effect), I own one because it is my means of transportation (outside of public transport for longer distances) and damn convenient, but I'm not about to give up the (significant) health benefit for a little more comfort I don't need now.
The whole attitude of "if your use case is millions of people, we don't care about you" may be excusable for some kind of mega-corporation enjoying a monopoly or near-monopoly in its area. For a project that constantly playing catch up lately, cutting off users may not be the best idea ever. Projects in such position should pay more attention to niche users, because if they lose both niche and mainstream, they will have nothing.

> "just file a bug".

It's not just "a bug", it's "a low priority bug" - it's a polite way to say "I couldn't care less".
They can be obstructed or denied, yes. This does not mean you do not have that right. It means it is being denied you.

That's the nature of rights and it's important to consider rights in this fashion because it shapes our ideas about what is acceptable in terms of obstruction and denial
I use secure random base-58 16-digit keys as primary keys in my distributed database, as long as you keep collisions rare with enough entropy (58^16 = 16400152899115243850138976256) you don't need to worry too much, generating a new ID/key is easy/fast when you have all the keys locally to match against.
Geometry and stiffness make the biggest difference to handling with weight being of negligible benefit (on a mountain bike a bit of extra weight can actually be beneficial on jumps). You and your son were probably simply riding better designed bikes.
Ask HN: Too many bugs vs. features in a product

Metadata.

FLAC allows for metadata. Those .wav files? Nope.
Or even up or down hills. I could stand to lose quite a few pounds, and it's far cheaper to lose 20 pounds of me than 20 pounds of bicycle, and while I love my good old steel Surly, there's an obvious difference riding my aluminum road bike and a very obvious difference when I've test-ridden modern carbon bikes.
Blizzard has used BT for binary downloads for years. None of your fears came to pass.
Aha: Yes, probably. And then they used just a single newline between paragraphs, which got eaten by the posting function. Took me too a while to learn to make paragraph breaks two newlines.
I’ve mentioned this before on HN, but I had great service from https://www.clariscompanion.com/ . My grandfather was using it in his 90s before he passed away, and it really helped us stay in touch despite being far apart. Not sure if it would meet her needs, but have a look anyways.

It’s $30 per month, but well worth it IMO. If she has runs into issues, there’s a support line she can call. You can add apps to her “desktop” or remove them to keep things simple, etc. Sorry if this sounds like an advert, but I’m just super grateful to this company for their services - they really care about their customers and I was actually in touch with the owner (Paul, nice guy) for support on a number of occasions.
While I agree, do remember that some patterns can and do extend to the physical.

Many stores do indeed make it hard to leave without buying, for example by having no direct route to the exit: you have to squeeze through the tills awkwardly. It's probably in the name of loss prevention, but it's also a disincentive to leave without a purchase.

Actually, nearly everything about a supermarket is carefully designed for extracting money from you, from product placement, to layout, need to have a loyalty card to access discounts, even perhaps having discounts in the first place (as opposed to selling at a lower regular price), multipacks driving food and packaging waste, etc etc etc.
Core Audio added support for FLAC in High Sierra, macOS 10.13, in 2017.

Apple has supported "ALAC" for longer, which unlike FLAC uses only integer math and is therefore less power hungry on mobile devices. You can transcode losslessly between FLAC and ALAC.

> But it's common to focus on those who "own all the board" who are mostly white, and ignore all the poor whites who own little

It's literally the most common talking point I have ever seen. It is neither original nor a good argument at all.
The article explains that they close that as a simple example of a workflow that is heavy on function calls.
That's a good idea!

Of course, there's no easy way to share it with other people, since it has to be on a shared medium.
For anyone else looking for a >5 letter French worldle, check out SUTOM [1]; it took me a while to try it out but the long words are a nice change and the motus sounds are delightful.

Please look again into libreoffice dic files, they're plain ASCII with a number of entries in the first line and you can probably s#/.*## the end of the lines (or maybe expand to include the alternate endings, as you wish).

But Netflix wasn't profitable at a €9.99 subscription, and therefore that was never sustainable. Look at how Netflix continues to raises prices just this year already.
> If penalties were measured by cost, driving accidents would be much more expensive.

This just isn't true. Almost all of the cost of an accident falls on the people in the accident. Where that's just one person, no system is necessary to put that cost on him, because it's already there. Where there are multiple parties involved, the existing system already puts all of the cost on the driver determined to be at fault.

Costs to third parties are a negligible part of the cost of accidents, much too small to be worth considering at all.
You can live very well in all of those countries. Furthermore, the quality of life can vary greatly between subregions. It all depends on what you value in life, and without that we’re left with a very broad and vague question.

If I had the choice I would go for Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, the Netherlands, or Denmark. All have fantastic living standards by almost any metric, and given that it’s a FAANG job I’m sure cost won’t be as much of an issue.
Dorik.com is pretty cheap. I have used it, can recommend it. Not affiliated
These are about adding stuff. The overwhelmingly sost effective way to secure things is to simplify them until you have good confidence you understand the thing as a whole which enables you to reason about its security properties on a much better level with high confidence, and enable other people to do the same.
This is great, hadn’t heard about siglen!

For the solution at the end, you’ll often find yourself wanting to query across multiple tables instead of multiple columns in a single table, in which case creating a materialised view with a single search term column and a GIST index is the best I’ve come up with. Obviously you then have a refresh to do instead of the expression being maintained as part of the index.

But no matter what, if your search isn’t fast, you’re probably doing something wrong. Postgres is great for this stuff (obviously for longer documents and fuzzier searches we can argue about quality).
Best Buy used to do something similar in their retail stores to paying customers. A bouncer at the exit would usually stop people and check receipts against the merchandise they were leaving with. It's a great way for a company to show that it has no trust for its customers and that it hopes they don't come back.
I sent them three separate emails over the course of three weeks in addition to the failed online chat cancellation.

Never a response.

I’ve actually had this experience with them before but thought they had gotten better, but I guessed I’ve learned.

Their email responsiveness to anything other than a cancellation is pretty good though.
Linux distros/archive.org and other legit users of BitTorrent tend to use HTTP seeds [1], so you can still calculate for bandwidth costs.

I think the only thing that is different from what the generally accepted brutalist web design[1] tenets is not having the links underscored. Personally I understand this choice because if the majority of your content is largely made out of links the screen gets pretty crowded. So I think this passes as a brutalist page.

> but not in an annoying way like Farmville Facebook notifications. Shared Wordle games actively improve your experience by adding a social factor.

It's no different than any other social games. It's still novel, so people don't call it annoying ... yet

I like the idea of sharing everywhere with a picture or emojis, because it means the game has no archive or hall of fame, which means users are incentivized to store it in their social media, which made it more viral. IT's a clever way to escape the limitations of social media platforms. But OTOH without archive or some long-term goal most people will find it pointless and give up soon.

The article seems to imply that wordle is the first game that did all those things. That's not true, each of those elements has been done before, but this game does contain a combination of them.
Nothing new in the article for anyone working in tech. A few funny things nevertheless: the recruiter thinks it’s unreasonable if candidates want to know the salaries right away before investing time in the hiring process. Also quite amusing is that the article never once mentions the idea that a job offer could compete by offering generous compensation, they mentions fancy snacks in the on-site office as a way to convince candidates to join a company, so it’s really no surprise that they can’t hire. Later they mention salaries going up by 10percent in some regions and think this is much, all while not realizing that consumer prices increase as well as inflation will eat those 10%.
I missed some advice on the choice of saddle. The wrong saddle can be very uncomfortable on your privates.

This has been known for a long time. I can’t even begin to describe the rot at the NHS, but I can point you to an article I just read on how whistleblowers are treated in the system [1]. Adam Kay also wrote an achingly funny book on how tough life as a junior doctor is, which I’d urge you to check out.

"build your own network"

A lot of people go to college to build that network... and also, almost every single young person does not go to college for the reason of wanting to learn. They want the piece of paper that allows them to get jobs. You have infinite potential to learn as much as you want, but that means jack to anyone who requires a degree.
Disinformation is certainly the correct term for what CitizenGo are attempting to achieve through this Twitter campaign. The proposed law in question, the Reproductive Healthcare Bill [1], does not change existing Kenyan law regarding termination of pregnancies.

One of the most important realizations that you have to make as an adult is that there are no conspiracies. If there is one billionaire supposedly doing something on his own behind your back you can bet that there are millions of people who are doing the same thing and think it is perfectly okay.

People complain about black rock buying everything up but guess what, regular homeowners are in it for the speculation as well and they vote in a way that gives black rock outsized power because they want their own slice.
What linux distro do you use? I always encountered the problem that after doing some work to get things going everything had to be redone after the next upgrade. Do you expect to have this issue?
Little pit stops are less tiring as well. Like if you have to quickly unload or load from a bus or car, get over a fence, etc. A lighter bike makes it feel like less momentum is lost in those moments.
>Governments can make it a felony (jail time, fines) to interact with your wallet

BTC >> Monero >> BTC.

I take take <10 minutes for small amount and a few hours if you need to wait for multiple confirmations.

There is plenty of reliable exchange platform that do not require IDs or even creating an account because they do not deal with fiat.

Bitcoin is NOT anonymous by default if you don't know/care how to use it, but it is extremely easy to get full anonymity if you need it. It would also be very hard to prove that you own a BTC wallet in a court of law.
I'd fully switch to gitlab.
That is no longer true. I recently topped my sim card for $3, then $1 with Bitcoin, while on vacation in Egypt. Either transaction cost me something like $0.001.
The sad truth is, you totally could fill 24h of news. The sun is always up somewhere. Even in a single country there’s no way nothing interesting isn’t happening somewhere somewhat.

But it’s hard, you need way more sources and accept to broadcast without footage, you can’t filter and spin the messages as much, you don’t have a “voice” and become more of a firehose, it’s less entertaining overall, and you can’t have that on tv.
Salaries in Switzerland are significantly higher so you may end up better off, even taking cost of living into account. On the other hand, if you think the German language is on the negative side then you should avoid Swiss German speaking areas (Swiss German is its own thing...)

I am not sure Brexit makes much difference unless you are EU citizens. Note that London is its own bubble so it would also depend on where in the UK you would be moving to.
Don't worry. They will learn it the hard way.
The SNP pursued the Named Person Scheme for years, which would have essentially institutionalised this; I wonder if developments in technology have led them to aim for the same objective from a different angle.

Show HN: I made an arbitrary-precision unit-aware calculator in Rust
Hi all, I’ve been working on this Rust project for a while now, and hope someone might find it useful. It’s written as a CLI app, and there’s also a WebAssembly version you can try out at at https://printfn.github.io/fend-website.

It has support for unit conversions, number base conversions, fractions, complex numbers, variables and D&D-style dice. There’s a bunch of examples in the GitHub README, as well as the manual at https://github.com/printfn/fend/wiki.

Please let me know what you think!
Credit unions are also good for this: they won't necessarly have the modern comforts of a bank, but your local one (if you have one) will do cash based accounts, in person. They still KYC but since they're not plugged in to swift etc they might work well as a backup plan in situations like yours.

My current all road bicycle is built around an affordable aluminiun frame with 650b wheels and carbon fork. The only thing I'd wish for is extra rubber clearance in the front fork, as the rear is all right.

Good quality steel is quite light as well, about 2.5 kg for the frame and the fork. Add to that beefy 650b or 700c wheels with 42..50 mm wide rubber and you've got a bike which one can confortably ride on most roads, paved or otherwise. The new gravel bike trend is quite in line with this. As long as it's not an UCI approved discipline and the manufacturers start making only race bikes again, one can probably find a decent endurance or adventure model with more relaxed geometry and actual utility. I like the current Breezer Bikes lineup a lot, especially the Doppler. They're made of regular 4130 chromoly, not Reynolds 725 or other heat treated steel types, but they're affordable, very durable and also carbon fork compatible. Joe Breeze is also very experienced designer and builder, being one of the original mountain bike pioneers. If you want a more nimble bike look for a Ritchey or the more premium QBS brands like Salsa or All City.

Dutch style bikes are okay in flat countries like the Netherlands and Denmark, but I'd get a lighter trekking bike regardless.
I got a feeling the underlying problem is that companies are so picky. That leads to workers needing to do multiple applications while searching for jobs.

So while e.g. a position has 30 applicants, each applicant has applied to 30 positions.

It gives the impression of it being hard to hire, since the applicant might pick another company during the talks.

The solution for the company would be to give an offer directly, after a interview. No long recruiting processes.
It's hard to argue without proofs. We can argue so many things when we go the route of conspiracy.

The Canadian government isn't known to have lied over and over a thousand times over as far as I know.

Yes the government has had scandals, here's a list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_scandals_i...

So I won't say they can't, but I also like OP think arguing in these hypothetical is a waste of energy.

We could argue that the process needs to be transparent, make the list public for example. In fact, maybe it is, might be one of these: https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_re...

I also feel logically, I don't see a motivate, small donors would only be cause for political complications. Logically it would make sense for them to restrict it to the people actually blocking roads with their trucks and to big donors financing large sums of money.
>Flagship phones today come with 128GB of storage

IMO, one of the biggest scams in the mobile space currently.

My old OnePlus 3T flagship from 2016 came with 128GB of storage and it "only" cost €480. Also, best phone I ever owned by far BTW.

Today, nearly 6 years later, Apple and Samsung flagships (I'm staying away from OnePlus nowadays) are charging huge markups for more than the base 128GB of storage, on phones that already cost €1000+, despite flash storage getting significantly cheaper since 2016.

This is beyond insulting, especially since modern flagships also lack microSD expansion.

Ask HN: GDPR pop-ups are getting so annying, what should we do about it?
Lately, I close every website that shows me a big, junky, stupid GPDR cookie consent (e.g. https://www.runnersworld.com/), but honestly I don't find many websites that has a reasonably small and well-designed cookie consent (e.g. https://www.rei.com/).

It seems that these pop-ups are designed to annoy users to force them to click on the Accept button right away, and most of them hide the rejection button somewhere, or make it difficult to find.

The reader mode on the browser works well sometimes, but it's not a permanent way to get rid of those pop-ups.

These pop-ups are making it hard to enjoy the Internet, what do you suggest to do to get rid of these pop-ups?

Thank you.
