Thank you for this, the article's conclusion felt very generic, especially after reading the sample group was 200 nurses. Not that Sturgeon's Law is scientific fact or anything, but the observation on it's face rings true. Asking the question alone influences the answer, just like Sturgeon's Law requires an "expert".
I was 10 in 1998. Even though it coincides with exactly what he says, I’d claim those next few years were the end of some threshold of the “before times”. It’s not like I’ll make some vague social argument like “you used to know dinner was on the table”. Global politics changed intensely. Internet and smartphones just exploded, seriously changing the day-to-day lives of so many people. Think about a world where if 100 people knew what you did yesterday you were a celebrity.
Somewhere in between a pay grade based on scarcity, and S.F. norms, and a pay grade based on Ross Perot's IBM model of "feed 'em peanuts and sack at will" is a happy medium.

I don't personally think that US pay for work done in Bali as a non-dom is sustainable, but paying Indonesian rate for work towards US profit is just as unviable.

Whats the happy medium?

Show HN: CookTime – Recipe index
Hi HN,

COVID lockdowns made me and my wife cook a lot more at home, and we had a need to streamline our recipe management woes. These were some of the problems we identified:

- Most recipe websites are what I call "mommy blogs", and the principal problem is that the recipe ingredient list and instructions are buried in a SEO-laden essay that we don't care about. We were sharing links to our favorite recipes, but links don't allow you to skip past the unnecessary essay prefacing the recipe. We knew we wanted a way to have recipes uncompromised by unrelated essays.
- Popular recipe aggregating websites are run by publishing companies that do not want you, the reader, to contribute your own recipes. This is not true for all of them; Allrecipes.com does allow you to enter recipes but that UI leaves a lot to be desired. We knew we needed a way for us (and you) to write your own recipes.
- Most recipe websites do not allow you to scale recipe ingredients. We like to cook a lot at once, and we don't like to keep track of a 2x, or 3x multiplier in our heads while cooking. We knew we wanted a simple way of scaling ingredients.
- Most recipe websites do not contain adequate nutrition information about their recipes. When they do, they don't show their math, or their sources. We knew we needed an automatic nutrition calculation for recipes based on ingredients and their quantities.

After a few months of nights and weekends, we are ready to share https://letscooktime.com . We solved all of the primary problems listed above, and more! Our features:

- Recipe creation
- Ingredient highlights in recipe text
- Recipe components
- Automatic nutrition calculation
- Grocery lists
- Scaling recipes
- Tagging
- No blogging, just recipes! No bullshit essay to scroll through.
- Dark mode!

We think the closest thing to CookTime is https://www.paprikaapp.com. Paprika is a paid native app, CookTime is a free mobile-ready website you can try _today_. I do not believe that recipe management really requires the performance, development cost, and App Store cost of a native app.

Without a CookTime account, you can:

- Browse recipes
- Read their nutrition facts
- Scale ingredients temporarily
- Share links to recipes

With a CookTime account, you can:

- Add your own recipes
- Add recipes to your personal groceries list

Let me know what you think! Would you use it? What are you currently using to track your recipes? What missing feature is stopping you from using CookTime?
> You are literally evaluating psychoanalysis as a scientific theory in this response - which is exactly what I pointed out we should avoid doing if we want to understand its value. Lots of types of thought and culture do not have scientific content, and yet are valuable.

I'm not sure what other "types of thought and culture" you are referring to. A superhero movie certainly is entertaining, can make you think and it's not a scientific theory. However, the big difference is that a movie does not make empirical claims or promises to have access to a method of self-knowledge, nor does it try to explain mental disorders. Psychoanalysis is mainly a service that promises empirical effects, and therefore should be treated empirically. Furthermore, Freud certainly envisioned it as a scientific theory, and so did many of its followers. I just don't think that this defense of psychoanalysis as having some sort of entertainment value, despite its absurdity, is a saving grace.

Your second point only reinforces what I'm saying. If any type of therapy has the same effect, then they are all placebos. Their effect is comparable to homeopathy, which is none. Homeopathy is certainly a different "type of thought", that is, an incorrect one.
External secrets are great, especially if your app can read them directly from k8s and avoid ever having them mounted as a volume (or in env var).

If your app can’t interface directly w/k8s, but it can read secrets from a file, you can use a small init program to fetch the k8s secret and write it to a named pipe. This is advantageous compared to mounting as a volume, because the pipe disappears after both ends close their connection to it.

Let's focus on first year of life. That's where greater risk for flu/covid exists. For younger than 6 months, nobody is doing research for that age range. For older than 6 months, research is ongoing.

> I'm pretty convinced this is an unproductive conversation given that you state we cannot erradicate the flu when we absolutely could erradicate the flu just like covid.

Okay. That's a pretty extreme view. I've never seen or heard anyone argue that. Viruses can be endemic. Like weather, they are out of our control. Humans can only manage so much. In some areas, nature exercises its power over us.

> You don't seem to understand how selfish it is to care more about personal freedoms than the accompanying personal impact to the health of others, such as that of toddlers. It makes me sick.

I have toddlers, and I do care about their personal health. I'm not about to advocate we all take the full lockdown being done in areas of China right now [1]. Fire is more likely to kill than covid when you lock people in their homes. And, I can't imagine not letting a toddler go outdoors for weeks on end. Domestic issues will flare up.

That implies a good old fashioned one-time purchase
I think you are confused about the causation.

Shares of stock represent ownership in a company. If the company performs well and earns increasing amounts of money over time, that means the company is more valuable.

If the number of shares remain static, increasing earnings means the value of the company is higher on a per share basis and justifies a higher price per share. The company performance drives the stock price.
>Most companies don’t do this because of the mountain of complexities with taxes, payroll, and time zone availability, but I hope we can open-source a solution so other companies can offer this flexibility as well.

I think this is a genius growth play for Airbnb. Make it easier for _other_ companies to operate in a similar way so that _their_ employees can travel and live in an... Airbnb! Next, they should lobby to get US and EU to make short-term "tourism + wfh" visas more accessible so that this becomes even more popular. I think everyone wins here.

Doesn't this depends upon where you live?

Mental health is a broad topic. Using medication for some mental health issues could be appropriate.

But I think medication is fundamentally the wrong approach for many common mental health issues like anxiety, sadness, loneliness, etc. If we think of the mind as a kind of garden, or more abstractly as a whirling complex system, we have to think about how to tend and cultivate the system to produce good results. Many people have no intentional system of cultivation, so it seems unsurprising that their mind garden has a lot of weeds and not very many healthy fruits.

My favorite method of mental cultivation is this:

@dang: I was delayed, but not prevented, from posting this message. Presumably it's hidden from all users who don't turn on showdead. Are you able to provide a brief explanation of how this helps preserve curiosity on HN? If not, would you mind knocking it off? Thanks.
Agreed. This appears to be the most best, and also most resilient option.

God forbid you run into issues with your outside social circle, you've still got your work circle, and the other way around.

I've only had option #1 happen once, and it was when I encouraged a few friends to apply at my company, and even then, it didn't really merge the social circles, I just had some people which were in both. I wouldn't do it again, either.

It's great to have multiple groups of friends, they don't all need to be related through work.
Wow, Airbnb really knocked it out of the park. I really like the whole plan. I hope other companies follow.
There are always constraints. Usually it's the time and attention of the people who are working on the problem. Throwing more people at the problem can help, but also adds a lot of coordination overhead to the problem. It doesn't matter how many resources you have, hard problems are still hard.
> Easier said than done, and I find this is bad advice. You don't really know how much runway you have in front of you and in a situation where you may have very limited income, your best bet is to save as much as possible. Also you will have unforeseen health-related expenses as you get old. Following this logic incurs a risk of make yourself depend on your kids or your family members before you die.

Sadly, this sounds like a terribly US-centric take. In most western nations a health scare does not bring in a significant risk of financial distress, unless it's serious enough you find yourself out of a job for an extended period of time.
Announcing that it’s “for our benefit” over our screaming about how much we hate it and how harmful it is to comfort, productivity and deep work.

It is beyond insulting.
> I particularly abhor Go style uppercase for public visibility and much prefer Rust's explicit syntax.

I don't want to comment on Go's visibility here, but is it that much different than how in Rust the lack of a semi-colon means you're returning (or the presence of a semi-colon means it's an expression instead of a statement, which has tripped me up many more times than the inverse)?
Amazon is absolutely not going back to office in a significant capacity. I thought Meta had a bifurcated work force where anyone could be remote?

And G employees won't tolerate the forcing to be in office even if a ton like it. It seems they're the ones always demanding more from the employer (someone has to!).

For example, Texas has massive wind farms and thankfully a lot of land that doesn't really do anything.

But these wing graveyards are going to continue to grow and grow, and "renewable energy" seems to require 100% recycling without extra CO2 release as an inherent and basic principle.

The saxophone is supposed to be one of the easier ones to get a musical result out of. It is also fairly physical.

Polyphonic instruments posing a problem with ADHD is not an absolute rule, but I've seen more than a few people, especially at younger age, benefit immensely from a change from piano or guitar to the saxophone specifically.

The reasons could be many. Less reading while still struggling with technicalities, more deterministic fingering, less going on are just a few.

So if a cat kills a bird, what should we do to the cat? A bear kills a deer. What should we do to the bear?

> Do you only refrain from harming other humans because of the potential social and legal consequences attendant thereto?

It's why social and legal consequences exist. If humans weren't harming each other, we wouldn't have such social customs and laws. Drunk driving laws exist because people were drinking and driving and harming others. The customs and laws are a reaction to reality.

“I saw very little work being done”

That’s an incentive problem not a “be in the office” problem. Or you’ve hired lazy bums. Or the work isn’t interesting enough.

If the people are screwing around then fire them. More than likely the job is dull or not challenging or not rewarding enough. That’s a call for the company to step up their game and bring in A level talent.

Or don’t and keep on getting the C team that’s only doing busy work as a boss is looking over their shoulder.
Also curious to know - seems like it's not up to date
Maybr an unpopular opinon, but tweaks to GNOME are table stakes, I don't think anyone is going to notice a change in bootloader, and Pipewire had tons of issues with audio popping in Flatpak apps like Discord when i last tried it. A new desktop in Rust is interesting, and I like the idea of a corporately-supported Linux desktop, but Pop! is fundamentally 95% like any other Ubuntu remix. It has a long way to go and doesnt solve any of the fundamental problems with Linux desktops, namely hardware and software support. I don't really get why people are so excited.
Worth looking at e.g. http://p3rl.org/Keyword::Declare for perlish macros

mjd rocks but 2005 was before I made custom keywords in perl "work" on CPAN, and even further before people who were competent to do so obsoleted my horrific proof of concept hack with perl core features in 5.14/5.16 - which have since allowed many cool things such as http://p3rl.org/Future::AsyncAwait

Lisp macros are, of course, still cool, and this is why I got into this sort of hackery in the first place.
That’s crazy, I tend to make it 6-8ish hours with my current 16” Intel MBP, depending on how hard I’m driving it. I usually have about 200 tabs open (don’t ask) in Safari, a few terminal windows(some ssh’ed in to the server), vpn running, maybe an IDE, and a couple other odds and ends.
Absolutely, and the best thing to avoid it is to get the vaccine.

Beyond that there really isn't any meaningful options.

Your question was answered before. Companies issue stocks to generate cash. The higher value the stock the more cash the company can generate by keep issuing stocks. The stocks can also be used to secure loans and as a compensation for employee and the board. So the company benefits in a lot of ways by increasing stock prices.
I think a couple dozen countries offer digital nomad visas now, the ones I've looked into in detail just require you to be employed remotely by a company outside the country and earn at least a couple thousand USD per month.

In CEDI at least the ions are trapped in a resin then are driven across a membrane by a charge, on the other side of the membrane you run water to flush them out.

Some comment in the article left me thinking they end up trapping them in the media and have to reverse charge to release them so I assume it would operate pulsed and presumably have a valve to dump the output during regen.

Though I'm a little confused in that normally CEDI is used after RO because the CEDI media is pretty sensitive to fouling and also doesn't work well when the water conductivity is highly variable. Maybe they solve the fouling with charge reversal.

...who knows, because popular coverage of this stuff never hits on the important parts and almost never links the relevant publications. There are many ways to make drinkable water from seawater-- making them some useful mixture of energy efficient, cost effective, portable, waste-water efficient, and reliable is the actual hard part.
I have been reading it and implementing the interpreter in Ada to learn about both interpreters and Ada better. It is a wonderful way to learn, since I constantly have to go beyond the surface level.

If you are curious about languages, I can only recommend trying to learn a new one while following this book.

It is a common problem.

I think it comes from you, the builder, having spent thousands of hours on a problem (here making an electronic diary) trying to get insights from someone who have just spent a short minute thinking about the same problem.

Instead of thinking about it as "talking to your users", try to think about it as observing how your product is used, and how they work in general within the domain.

Observe them directly if you can (sit next to them and just watch them do their stuff), or indirectly e.g. by extensive application logging or maybe a screen recording tool (like hotjar).

I hear the term “ricer” fairly often when someone refers to a two-door honda with a comical spoiler and fat fenders, for example. Definitely has overlap with the rally car body aesthetic. It’s simultaneously a derogatory term and a badge of honor worn by the ricer subculture.

I did not know the etymology or literal meaning of the term, though. I appended my vocabulary list after reading this.

Because there typically is a cost/price function in this. If the cost of living isn't as high, then the company can sell more by reducing the price. To reduce the price they have to reduce the cost inputs. The risk for them, is somebody else working out the same brain awesome can be found cheaper, and removing the market under their feet.

I work in IT, and I know it would suck to be told "you're worth less because you pay less rent" but this actually is normal: The majors are already telling SF residents "take $10,000 to move to Austin but we pay you less" And the majors are already saying "stay in India and we'll hire you and pay you less" -So it is not like there isn't already real world downward pressure on pay.

(the context here is that I am paid way above local average for Australia and way below FAANG in the US, working in a not for profit)

I strongly believe in unions. Even with a union, pay isn't going to be uniform across a nation, or between nations to do the same role.

Musk is making Tesla in the US, Germany and China. I ask, non-rhetorically, which country do you think will wind up in the long term making more of the cars, and why? And, also non-rhetorically, why do you think "knowledge work" (which is what software is) is any different?
