I’m not following which part you’re saying is untrue. The number of users on the machine is irrelevant as each user can install apps into their own user profile. Maybe they won’t have access to the other users’ data, but it’s enough to gain a foothold.

Persistence is easy enough with startup shortcuts or scheduled tasks in each profile.

Also, I’m not saying these apps have some kind of hidden malware, I’m saying they are operating as designed, and usually offer features in exchange for letting them do things like upload your address book, etc.
This needs to be screamed from the mountain tops
I almost edited my comment along those lines. Except I was going to say the people who reject interesting exceptions don't practice science, they practice scientism. And I think that's bad in anyone, especially an MD (who AFAIK are trained as scientists who don't know everything, which is why they call it "practicing" medicine).
Ideally, deplatforming is done in in illegal cases and the government/people decide what is grounds for deplatforming instead of some coked-out execs at Twitter.

I used to visit Utsubo Park in Osaka. Walking the long corridor with the dividing hedge, it was easy to envision the airstrip it once was. But it isn't so obvious to me from aerial photos.

Anecdote. My mother had asthma since age of 30 and my father developed high bp at age of 50. Mother had a very strict diet ( inhaler weren't popular in Indian middle class) and father was supposed to take a pill for life.

They started following breathing exercises (Pranayam) as told by Indian yog Guru Ramdev on television for 30-60 mins a day and they have mostly controlled it now for last 18 years.

For anyone searching on youtube, he and other gurus make lot of tall claims and say irrational things, sell snake oil and are in general against western medicines, you'll have to ignore it.

IMO, not all Thinkpads. My E485 was noticeably worse than my X1C6. Never seemed to track as well, nor did it seem to resist "sticking" as much.

I don't quite know to describe sticking, but it's like when an INU (or a strain gauge in this case) fails to properly self calibrate, and it decides that an objectively false input is true. Something similar to video game controllers with "stick drift," but not quite the same afaik.

Aside:
Ultimately, I can take it or leave it w.r.t. the trackpoint. A good touchpad can do wonders. In tight spaces I use my thumbs then rely on decent tap-to-click and inertial dragging implementations (present since ~2008). Though in the recent years, I haven't had to commute to work by train or bus anymore, nor have I had to really travel by airplane.

When typing, I mostly rely on keyboard commands for text-heavy work. I do find quite a bit of use in many thinkpad's KB layout still preserving home/end/insert/pgup/pgdn without needing to resort to "fn" key twister games, even if newer Thinkpad layouts are worse and worse for this (insert key got eaten by fn in some newer laptops, and there are obviously longstanding debates over the 7row vs 6 row). None of the griping about the "swapped" ctrl/fn key positions would even matter if functions weren't being hidden behind fn keys in the first place, negating the need for a fn key at all.

I do appreciate the thinkpad's clustered f1-f12 keys, which make common f keys quicker and easier to find.

I've never used the touchpad on any of my thinkpads.

I think Lenovo have been okay stewards of decent laptops. Not great, especially relative to newer developments on the market.
Wonder if Bezos will out bid? The WashPo and twitter under one roof would be kind of cool
I hadn't read much about that missile before now, but apparently it got so hot it required an ablative coating just to survive it's very short intercept mission.
It might have been slightly harsh.

Github did tweet to ask people to support the project, to witch the project starts comparing it to a situation where github restored their own data, as if that was unfair.

The post also seems to wildly overestimate the importance of the project and the effect on github and Microsoft. It also seems to be written just to pressure github into giving the project special treatment.

The post even states:
"After all, GitHub has a history of taking controversial actions that go against the spirit of open source and community and then reverting them only based on public outrage."

So the post seems to be made overly dramatic on purpose.

As for the opinion about the UI, I do prefer it as is, if that wasn't clear. There needs to be a balance between usability and protection, and I think github has done a great job. It would of course be nice if it didn't get deleted and instead just stopped sending events.

Ask HN: What's Going on with Amazon Search?
There has been a lot of talk around how Google search is becoming worse. Like many others, I am appending "reddit" to almost every search to get useful results instead of low-quality spam.

Over the last few years I feel the same has been happening to Amazon. There have always been FBA sellers that buy from Chinese suppliers and re-brand the same base product, result in tons of different-looking-but-actually-same products. But it has never been as bad as now. It's has become nearly impossible to find quality products in all the spam, sponsored ads, fake reviews, and rebrandings.

I am now finding myself appending "reddit" to my Amazon searches as well because I don't trust the results! Does anyone else do the same?

I don't think you can call procedural generation "zero marginal content." When dealing with PG, the content is the procedure, not the output, and the procedure never changes. There is a distinction between PG and a generative model like DALL-E. PG involves procedures that are written and understood by humans. Something like DALL-E, while technically a deterministic procedure taking inputs and producing outputs, operates via a process that is not directly understandable to humans.

At 12 m diameter it would be 82000 gees, eight times the acceleration they're targeting; their render is of a roughly 100-meter-diameter chamber. At 82000 gees rotor integrity becomes probably unmanageable with existing materials. At 100 meters we're talking 420 rpm, 22 radians per second.

I don't think the launch angle needs to be precise; if it's off by 10 degrees (175 milliradians) they lose 1.6% of their altitude to cosine error. That would be an error of plus or minus 8 milliseconds, which seems about two orders of magnitude on the easy side of achievable.
Yep, same. Especially since they've recently started ignoring the boolean " - [whatever has SEO'd the everliving shit out of my search]"

Wild theory: most of the human brain is there to harness untrammelled intelligence to the organism's best interests.

There is so much, because intelligence needs a complex cage - without the cage becoming sentient itself. A bit like a finite state automaton containing a Turing machine.
People can still escape, but it's hard. Disorders like autism represent failure of the cage.

I dunno. You made a mistake, that’s on you. It’s so easy to say you want more hand-holding, and sure, maybe that’s not a bad idea in a sense, but you still made the mistake.

I do appreciate they aren’t yelling and complaining about it, however.
I recommend reading “the design of every day things”, it talks about this exact attitude and why it’s terrible.
Sorry, and thanks for correcting my guideline breaking. I am a stranger in strange lands...

I brought it up because its an easy way to bring a moral rightousness example on hckernews. Perhaps more merit to the idea one should think of how ones word are received without context. To me as a casual reader here its like the space and tab holy war, except actually real. I don't dislike vegans per say as eat 80% vegetarian for health reasons.

Is it presumptuous to assume you are vegan and took offense? If so, could you share some viewpoints on your decision if you are?

That's the insidious thing about those gurus: they often couple genuinely healthful practices like mindful breathing and exercise and healthy diet with horrible things like snake oil remedies and religious intolerance - essentially using the former to try to legitimize the latter, and many who follow them are not equipped to distinguish one from each other.
Thanks, Life w/TIC-80 seems like a good candidate. Simple enough that I can wrap my head around the whole thing and tweak the rules, even though it's (to me) an alien syntax and structure.

Quite right. My comment was too flippant. Yours provided the detail I left out.

Without question, it is a worthwhile study and very interesting.

But, losing a lobe in infancy and then having the brain compensate is much different, I would think, than having a brain develop in the womb without a lobr.

The sibling’s missing lobe, to my mind, is far more indicative of some genetic abnormality as opposed to some acute event in infancy. But, who knows? Either way, she’s a useful data point and hopefully will advance our meager knowledge of the brain.
Yes but in a modern industrialized economy if there is a profit to be had the supply will create itself, without barriers to entry. However in beverages there is a big barrier to entry in consumer brand awareness and in retail shelf space especially for refrigerated products.

There are definitely still cases where warnings are important, but the point of "prefer undo to warnings" is to eliminate as many warnings as possible to avoid desensitizing users. I should only see a scary pop-up if the action that I'm performing is going to be well and truly destructive.

Undo-instead-of-warning is a great pattern for lower-stakes actions that are easy to undo and cause minimal damage if left done. This allows the few warnings you do show to be recognized as truly important.
Intrestingly, I was in a little bar in Ōimachi, Tokyo just the other day. (First time in ...years? Because of COVID-19.) A slightly drunk local guy stormed in with a printed security camera picture of a guy that had committed several dine & dash incidents (and a theft of some decorative jewelry) in the neighboring bars during the last weeks, the bar we were in being one of the victims. He came to hear the story of the owner of the bar and to confirm the guy in the picture was the same, and then left to spread the word to other places.

I have lived almost 7 years in Japan, and this was the first time I heard of such an incident happening somewhere around me, but "食い逃げ" ("kuinige", dine & dash) is a word you tend to encounter here and there.
> There's nothing technical about blockchains that adds transparency

False. On a public chain like Ethereum, every single historical operation and its outcome events and state can be traced and verified. If the source code is published, the running bytecode can be verified to match the source code.

> smart contracts are [...] not "non-custodial" because they require middlemen to run the blockchain

Also false - miners/validators have no opportunity to seize or freeze assets

> There is also nothing more open or verifiable about smart contracts compared to any other program

See above. You can verify what code was running when and with what input.
Is there any better plan in an era where the real currency is attention?
I have been meaning to automate my spamming of random channels, doing it manually is a PITA. I like to keep things more innane and less troll/toxic though, so I might need to do some work with GPT-3 on the actual content. At least once I find a good corpus of low-effort shit posts that aren't also toxic.
Luckily, I know that you can tell the difference between a computer and another human being. That makes the distinction easier to understand.
> Does Pranayam involve high-resistance inspiratory breathing?

Yes, Pranayama is vast. So many different exercises for different purposes. But keep in mind that I'm a German and my knowledge is from books and some videos only. I'm no expert ...

One thing all sources I've read or seen are very clear about is that those exercises are advanced exercise. Also, Pranayama does very precisely assign exercises to specific conditions.

One thing we "western" guys can improve on is patience. I see it with myself every second of my life :-).
A lot of moving parts? Aren't blogs traditionally static sites. Yes you can full MVC your blog and what not but there's nothing complex about an `index.html` page created from one of the many, many, many readily available Markdown parses or straight plain-text.

This article is a lot of busy work.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

GP did not say everyone does it, obviously Japan is very safe, but it’s far from perfect. People just don’t report everything and just don’t talk about it. Hang out around a pachinko to find out more about Japanese people.
Interesting! Seems pretty nice! Would you have any support for an API for integration into Point-Of-Sale type of products?

I would start by replicating the features of Woocommerce.

1. The ability to integrate with a content management system supporting different templates etc.
2. The ability to have product packages (example: 250gm, 500gm, 1kg etc per product).
3. The ability to extend the application via downloadable plugins from an app store. This will be difficult to do in Go, I think. This will be needed for supporting different payment gateways, coupons etc.

My only complaint with woocommerce is that it is easily hacked because of Wordpress vulnerabilities. Else it is a good product without the heft of Magento.
Yea, till they rug pull it.
I’m 38 and feeling your struggle minus the uber achievement. I do alright, but I still have a mortgage.

I will back up your ketamine hunch, but more generically as psychedelics. Consider a guided approach like Psychedelic Passage, for example. They won’t source for you, but I’m sure you can figure it out. I’m not sure if they’d be the correct folks to guide a ketamine trip but maybe!

It took a lot to convince my wife that I hadn’t lost my mind or desire to support my family. But she eventually understood that it was something I had to do for the good of everyone around me, especially me. Psychedelics aren’t a cure-all, but it’s a great medicine to retool old habits and deeply held beliefs. Your preparation and intention setting is the cornerstone of its efficacy.

One book hit home with me after my first trip: Die Wise by Stephen Jenkinson. I highly recommend it even though I found the audiobook unlistenable before. It became a significant influence on my life afterward.

The heart of psychedelic power against depression is this: it lets emotion express itself. In therapy, if you haven’t cried with your therapist, then it’s a fucking waste of time. Antidepressants hollow out my emotions and limit their range - helping me to be a more effective automaton. Psychedelics release you from the consequences of crying or feeling idiotic joy. It’s a reacquaintance with a youthful mindset.

One last thought: I went into psychedelics hoping that I’d feel the train cars of my life click into place on the tracks. But what I’ve discovered is that there are no tracks, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be. It took a while to appreciate that. One saying goes: you get what you need, not what you want.

I sincerely hope that you find relief! Bring your whole self to the table, and I believe you’ll find that you’re enough.
Absolutely false. We Muslims care about our brothers and sisters wherever they are, and regardless of their ethnicity or race. There are tons of material and videos online about prayers and donations and campaigns made in support of them. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=941duulDzOs
I completely agree that the feedback is valuable and I don’t think no one should say anything. In fact I think it’s essential to say something.

I’m only commenting on how so many comments trivialize the work required to resolve this. I have a feeling nothing is trivial at GitHub.

Agreed. My caste is obsessed with both money and education. I'll let you guess it on your own time < laughing out loud >.
Reverse engineering for compatibility does not give you an insight to any backdoors there, just as even having the full source code for a system does not trivially reveal all the backdoors or bugs it has.
Some of them likely would have been completely fine and completely unexposed to dangerous levels of radiation.. but not all of them.. and it was impossible to know which were which until weeks and months later when they did more thorough testing.

Many local areas were reporting over radiation of >500 millisieverts/year, which is ~150x the typical background dose. The famous XKCD Radiation chart shows a bunch of Fukushima related doses -- it was actually pretty dangerous for people close to the exclusion zone!

> I assume that the cascading done on GitHub would be done on a FK constraint, but I'm not really sure how you'd do a "cascading soft delete" without making some kind of manual cascading logic?

I'm not at a terminal, so I can't check it out, but could you make a compound foreign key with the soft delete column and use the on update cascade? Something like `alter table stars add foreign key (repo_id, is_deleted) references repos (id, is_deleted) on update cascade;`
