I agree in principle, but health literacy is so appallingly low - globally - that more often than not people are not equipped to deal with this information. As I said in an earlier post on this thread, look at the askdocs subreddit. 90% of the posts there are worried well asking for clarification of some unnecessary test they went and specifically asked a doctor for, the result of which they don’t understand and which is causing a cascade of health anxiety.

If every person understood enough to realise how many ‘abnormalities’ enough investigations would show up, and how in 99% of people they mean absolutely nothing, then it would be fine. But that’s not our current situation. And if you’re one of those people who are capable of parsing the dense health literature and understanding the implications (or not) of ‘normal abnormal’ findings, then go for it. But for the population as a whole? It’s not viable or helpful

No it doesn't. The LG V35 was faster, thinner, lighter, had a headphone jack, and had the exact same IP rating as the equivalent iPhone of the time.

Well, there's always stackexchange.

Finding open university courses can be a bit tricky. For that, MIT open courseware is amazing. After self-studying a course there, I have to say the depth is so much better than any MOOC I've ever done. No lecture videos though, but for me that's not a problem.
Not really. The solution is just not politically palatable because it requires increased wealth transfers from the haves to the have nots.
It is a strange equivalence you are trying to build here. But to answer you directly: the people responsible for the sanctions are the people that enforced them. Full stop. Just like Russia is responsible for attacking and committing war crimes. Full stop.

Now, if you want to go down the more philosophical road, people tend to be more morally ok with not feeling for Russia (IE: not calling them a "victim") over the sanctions because the sanctions were in response to attacking a nation and committing war crimes (though, if you read, many are feeling for russian citizens as many oppose the actions of "their" government). The reason most people see Ukraine as a victim is because they were doing what a nation should be doing (trying to build alliances to protect themselves against hostile forces). And when most people look at those two situations, they can easily understand how they aren't the same thing. Signing a piece of paper != bombing a hospital. Your argument is trying to take away that there is meaning and nuances to actions. We could say, "Ukraine did A, so Russia did B in response after threatening to not do A" is the same as "Russia did B, and NATO did C in response after threatening to not do B". And thus if "Russia is 'to blame' in C, then it reasons that Ukraine is 'to blame' in B". That is effectively your stance boiled down. And you can live in that world and no one can take you out of it. But the reality of the world isn't that simple and I certainly don't want to live in one where we decide that victims of atrocities and unspeakable acts "are to blame" because they tried to find peaceful ways to protect themselves. You are also completely avoiding the reality of how it could have been avoidable. Russia has no reason, NONE, to do what they are doing. You try to paint Ukraine responsible because they could have just given in to the threats (which makes no sense, given the reality of the situation), but for some reason completely ignore that Russia could have much more easily just not threatened. They could have been an ally to Ukraine. Putin and company decided they were the more powerful party and wanted to swing it around. So no, Ukraine's actions did not "directly lead to a terrible outcome". Russia's actions did. So no matter how you want to do your math, you are fundamentally wrong for victim-blaming in this situation.
Please note, it's UAE, out of all gulf countries.

Normally UAE is the most timid gulf country in front of Saudi influence.

Kuwaitis, Bahrainis, and even Qataris are still holding the Saudi line now.
Like most spiders they tend to avoid humans. But if your chore growing up is to clean up all the rotting oranges you're going to be in their territory a bit and the bites are really uncomfortable.

The worst part was the pain would last a few hours.
Are you aware that there is a law (published a few days ago) and people living in Russia can be sentenced to 15 years in prison for calling it war?

They’re not. Rates of extra paternity events vary a lot by social class[1]. I'd be shocked if that wasn’t true for different ethnic groups.

[1] A Historical-Genetic Reconstruction of Human Extra-Pair Paternity

Highlights

• Combining genetic and genealogical data illuminates our ancestors’ sexual behavior

• Gene-genealogy mismatches imply extra-pair paternity (EPP)

• Historical EPP rates were low overall (∼1%) but varied depending on social context

• EPP rates were highest (∼6%) among urban families with low socioeconomic status

Exactly, Ukrainians need to change their strategy, because hate won't work against Russians. Instead they need to attack the Russian invaders with flowers and confetti. This will surely stop them.
This. We have a 4-person team and posted our own incident about this 7 minutes before Amazon did. Surely they can aim a little higher.
But isn’t that what this is? Just an agreed upon way of specifying type info so browsers can be taught to ignore it instead of having to strip it at build time to produce something the browsers can parse?

Important to keep in mind that AWS has 250 services in 84 Availability Zones in 26 regions.

This outage is reportedly impacting 5 services in 1 region.

For those impacted, pretty terrible. But as a heavy user of AWS, I’ve seen these notices posted multiple times on HN and haven’t been impacted by one yet.

Or put more subtly, the sort of Russian that generally believes Russian media isn't particularly likely to have bought a VPN to access alternative perspectives if only their Visa/Mastercard still worked. The sort of Russian that would have done that is fairly unlikely to believe that the war must be going well because it's even harder for them to access Facebook.

I suspect that there's no persuasive evidence that character traits are determined by genetic factors in ways that we can control or reliably predict.

Somehow AWS managed to make their new status page more opaque than the old one. It's like they want you to scroll through their gigantic list so they can fix the issue before you find the right line.
Here in GA, there are already multiple types of orb weaver and these are in the same niche with one exception: they will also eat stink bugs. There are also many birds who eat the orb weavers and will also eat the Joros. They basically slide right in without too much serious impact.
Sanctions are to stop the flow of money to the war machine that is currently indiscriminately killing civilians.

What goes beyond the sanctions, like business withdrawals from Russia (Visa, MasterCard, Microsoft, McDonalds) is a business decision to mitigate a geopolitical risk. The management board does not want to be ”stained in blood” and is willing to give up on Russia than in any way be associated with Russian war propaganda. Furthermore it is likely that the current shareholders are going to lose the Russian business any case, due to nationalisation, credit defaults, oligarchs taking over, local mob bosses taking over, etc. Russia is a country run by thugs, the only law is Putin’s word and when thugs see an opportunity they will use it.
The Huntsman spider in Australia is similarly harmless one might believe - a useful pest controller as well.

Only if France and the UK did as well if the goal is to remove the chance of nuclear powers shooting at each other. The goal of NATO, as I recall, was to defend Europe and give Germany such a warm fuzzy that they didn't feel they have to rearm. The last 4 times they did so were, umm, messy.

And perhaps the biggest fallout from Ukraine (aside from the undesired fallout itself) was Germany announcing rearmament and its neighbours thinking it cool.

Russian Government itself is working hard to isolate their segment of internet so they can control it and firewall it Chinese style to push their propaganda unrestricted. So willfully cutting it off for them is essentially helping the enemy.

There used to be Radio Svoboda to counter Soviet propaganda. Nowadays West need to be working hard to ensure there is internet in Russia and news and communications are available, so regular people cans see non-government news sources and dissidents can securely coordinate. I don't understand why it's so hard to comprehend.
I worked a number of industry computing jobs starting at 14 years old. I worked at Apple, Palm, the Internet Systems Consortium, as well as a gov't lab (Lawrence Livermore.) Lawrence livermore was cool but high performance computing didn't really grab me. ISC was very cool and dealt with super interesting problems but I don't think the software was exactly what I wanted to work on. Apple and Palm were neat but what I was working on felt like it lacked importance. Consumer electronics did not feel like it was endowing my life with meaning. So, I went for a physics PhD and now a postdoc and am pretty happy. I get to be pretty self directed and get to be the first to see a natural phenomenon and figure out how to probe it. This gives me a fulfillment that I couldn't find in industry. Maybe I'll go back to industry as a research scientist -- who knows.
I agree that refusing to write a trivial program at an interview is the best way to prove that you are a cooperative person and ready work at all levels.
I like that the HN title is (right now): "Oil plunges as much as 17% as UAE says support output hike"

Whereas the real title is: "Oil records worst day since pandemic as UAE calls for output hike"

It really rubs me the wrong way they use the word "worst" because it implies that it's inherently bad. And we all know that it's neither good nor bad but complicated.

Considering the speed and scale of sanctions against Russia, I am thinking that the US might actually be after 'regime change' in Russia. If so, is ending the war now the best option to reach that goal?

In any case, it seems that everyone want to avoid escalation and being dragged into the military conflict.
You'd be disappointed. Orb weavers see quite poorly, and rely on their webs as their primary sensory modality for perceiving their surroundings. This is why they spend so little time off the web, and also why male spiders pursue such slow and painstaking courtships, plucking the web with enormous care to ensure their prospective partner recognizes their approach rather than mistaking them for prey.
> U-Boot is very easy to build and patch and hack on, and it's well known in these streets.

U-boot is very simple and very good at booting device-specific OS images.

What it fail at is providing abstractions and interfaces to provide to device-agnostic images so that they can boot without being tailored to a specific piece of hardware.

Which is why most Rpis are running Raspbian, not Debian.

For better or worse UEFI solves this and allows you to boot a plain Debian ARM64 ISO on any ARM64 machine with UEFI-compliant firmware.

Just like you (of course!) can on a regular PC. That’s where we need to get with ARM too. Make them work just like regular PCs.

Aarch64 has this solved in user-space. Now we need to get booting fixed too.
small minority sounds wrong...
This could also be related to a broader tendency to promote 'performers' who are more likely to take risks or shortcuts that they might not realize involve risks as well as people that use less resources (lower safety margins, less overlapping checks etc).

It's sadly difficult to be recognized for excellence in preventing surprises, as hard as it is to quantify that.
Yeah, I wasn't really serious seeing as the Oxford comma applies to a list of items. It's something that has never set well with me, the Oxford commma, as it makes the last item ambiguous when not present. So I now just throw out "Oxford comma" anytime there's a question on if a comma is needed or not.
IAEA: Data transmission from its safeguards systems at Zaporizhzhya NPP lost
In a class for my Masters in Public Health, we saw evidence that really nothing affected the average number of kids women had in any country or the average age they had their first child except for one factor: the education level of the women. That is, as education went up for women, the average # of children went down and the average age they had their first child went up.

If this is still true, the flip of that is that as countries climb up the relative ladder and women have greater access to education, expect to see population #s dwindle without having really any levers to affect it otherwise.
That's really interesting and gave me some (hopefully) good ideas.

Thank you very much!
Assuming you're correct, hearing this genuinely makes me feel way better.

It's not even necessarily a complete avoidance thing -- seeing a large insect when I'm outside just feels different; it's something I'm more prepped for, I'm in a different mental state. Huge boon if I'll mostly only need to worry about them when biking/walking.
You missed the second part of the message that makes it clear it's sarcasm :)
For anybody considering getting a dog - please consider adopting rather than buying.

• You’re Saving A Life

Adopting a dog from a shelter not only means that you’re giving him a happy life, but you also free up a spot at the rescue or shelter to save another dog’s life.

• Helps Fight Puppy Mills

Approximately 90% of puppies you can buy in pet stores or online are from puppy mills. Adopting a dog from a shelter takes business away from mills. The more people who adopt, the more puppy mills have a hard time staying in business.

More reasons: https://www.caninejournal.com/adopt-dont-shop/
As I mentioned in the GP, for 2.5% per year you can insure any amount of stablecoin savings against risk of loss, so yes they are secured. In a traditional bank your savings are only secure up to a specific limit which is $250k in the US and less everywhere else in the world (e.g. $6,600 USD in Ukraine). Also in a bank your savings are not secure against inflation which is currently -7.5% in the US and as high as -54% in Turkey.

In other words, for a US resident, putting money in the bank is currently virtually guaranteed to lose at least 7.5% of it’s purchasing power per year. It brings new meaning to the expression “safe as money in the bank.”

Here is an example:

1. Purchase UST on an exchange on a 1:1 basis with USD

2. Send it to the Terra Station self-custody wallet on your phone

3. Deposit the UST into a decentralized app (dApp) at www.anchorprotocol.com to earn 19.53% APY accruing every 6 seconds

4. Purchase the equivalent of FDIC insurance for ~2.5% APY from any of Nexus Mutual, InsurAce or Bridge Mutual

5. Enjoy a nice safe net ~17% APY on a USD stable deposit

* Bonus: Because of the payout mechanism this fixed APY yield is considered a capital gain and not interest income so it is taxed more favorably than a traditional savings account and you don’t trigger a taxable event until you sell.

I would suggest it is worth investigating and maybe trying it out with a small amount to see for yourself.
One effective way of juggling the two types of slides I've found is to stick the reference slides into an appendix that isn't part of the actual presentation - but can be quickly pulled up during ensuing discussions, and for the benefit of people reviewing the slides later.

Then I dare say you do not know the meaning of "convoluted build system".

Thousands, or tens of thousands of lines of semi-proprietary/non-standard XML is what made up ANT build scripts... mostly or entirely hand written for each and every project. Even small hobby projects had build scripts in the thousands of lines... there was no such thing as dependency management, and nothing came "for free". Every single thing had to be hand written into the script because ANT didn't have any inkling what you might want to do... build targets layered upon each other until rationalizing about what happens when during the build becomes a full time job all in it's own.

Maven is amazing. With a few lines of XML you can successfully build nearly every project, manage all dependencies, etc. The trade-off? It's extremely opinionated in how your project is managed and how it's laid out. Worth while in most cases.
Sorry I was harsh before, I would delete my last comment if I knew how.

Any way to get them?
Ask HN: What SaaS do you use at your startup?
I think this falls into 'known unknowns': I don't know what SaaS services I should be leveraging, but I do know they might help my company so much. For others facing the discovery problem, how did you solve it? Browsing Capterra/G2?
Can you eat them? I dont know why we dont eat more insects, but it seems super good ROI.

I tried to grow crickets to make flour out of them, but it was much harder than I thought, those spiders seem easier, and are also meatier.
It’s also important to remember that writing native apps doesn’t inherently inherently give you a big performance boost. With the type of app Slack has, I would expect the default implementation in a native app to be pretty slow as well. You’d have to do a significant amount of further optimization to make it competitive, imo. And to be honest, I imagine if someone applied that same amount of optimization and effort to the electron app, they could make the performance much better there as well.
In Quebec at least, a doctor's prescription is required for all blood tests even at private labs.
Glad you were open to seeing what I'm talking about, and why it concerns me. I also feel I have been guilty of it, and have hesitated to comment in technical conversations as often for the same reasons as you.

I've been trying to correct that in myself as well, seeking out more technical conversations where my statements can be clearly evaluated to be true or false based on technical merits, and thus valuable to anyone reading it.

Unfortunately, a part of nurturing a certain type of community, is to make it slightly unapproachable to those you don't want in it. I think the very plain css of the site already does a great job of that, but I wonder if it's still not enough to curate the community long term.
I don't think you get the full picture from one little story, and everyones experience is different, but from my experience what is striking is that because they see the world differently, their observations are different and often when we hear novel observations of the world it seems really "intelligent". If you capture those moments in a story because they are interesting, you aren't capturing the other things, things like their stims (repetitive behaviors / noises), how they react to noisy scenarios, other people, physical sensations etc. Its just their observations of the world are often interesting, or even physical things that seem hard for us (like from early on once my son could write his full name, you could keep rotating the paper around while he writes it and he'd keep writing his name such that once rotated back the right way everything looked correct)
