The United States I guess. If I were to be buying alcohol it’s reasonable for them to ask. But that’s not something I often do anymore and generally there isn’t a reason anyone would ask for my id otherwise. Perhaps if I’m in a different state (I do still travel with a form of ID, but not on my person) it could be important. My limited experience with cops where I live have also indicated it isn’t important.

I don’t drive either which is a much bigger drive as to why I don’t feel the need to constantly have official identification.

Edit: I suppose it is important if anything “went wrong” and I needed my body to be identified, but again, that would be a case where people are wondering where I’m at quite quickly and the cops likely putting something out to identify such a person.

Edit 2: I also did try to get a state ID but they make the process so laughably difficult that getting a passport was easier - further, they don’t accept a passport as a main source of identification. I instead needed to also have a physical copy of my social security card (despite the other mountain of evidence I brought about my existence and propriety living in the state) and I never quite understood that. They do gladly accept the taxes I pay though. No questions asked!
Kafka explored this in great depth, albeit in analog form.

I don't think I fully appreciate the assignments to read Kafka in college until these algorithmic bans, ousting from app stores, automated support, etc came along. Before that I figured the human element could, in most cases even if it required extreme difficulty, sort things out eventually. Then came these heuristic algorithms that have practically become the platonic ideal if Kafka-esque systems.

Edit: While Amazon is very far from perfect and has dropped several notches in customer service, I will say that they are still very good compared to others. I can still get ahold of a real person that has some leeway for professional judgement when addressing a problem.
That clock looks really cool sitting on your desk :)

I've been playing a little with the pyflipdot library recently to interface with a 20x14 flipdot display, which also uses RS485

Your flipdot display looks like it has a higher dpi, I guess there must be different diameter flipdots made.
We also managed without telephones, airplanes, automobiles and a bunch of other things we take for granted in modern life. I still find them useful and want them around.
Better depends on what you are optimizing for.
This is not the decision that HN has made, for whatever reason.
FWIW privilege as defined in the English language is very firmly fitting the latter.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/privileg...

> an advantage that only one person or group of people has, usually because of their position or because they are rich:

eg.

> * Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.

> * Senior management enjoy certain privileges, such as company cars and health insurance.

Privilege means special advantage. Not “default” behaviour. Which is why it’s very difficult to be told a person is advantaged when they do not feel that they are.

While productive jobs will pay for their own salary, any business is still operating with a fixed amount of resources and thus a set number of employees it can hire for the time. Therefore (high paying) jobs are in fact a zero sum resource
If you don't have DNS you can't have publicly trusted certificates, I'm very doubtful homelabbers go through the effort of getting servers, configuring services and the lot without the most rudimentary protocol in place. Self-managed or not, it's VERY essential with functional DNS

You know, outdoors or near a window I'm pretty good at that. But I easily lose track of time when indoors, or at night. Especially if for some reason I wake up hours earlier than normal, I'll think it must be 12 or 1AM, only to see that it's barely 10.
There’s generally little or no narrating in these study videos. The specific one talked about in this article sometimes has 5-10 mins of discussion every 50 minutes.

Also a great way to call artillery fire to your position. Even if the adversary is using something super simple like DJI’s commercial tool like AeroScope, you’re toast.
If you want to see if there is connection, you should study people who have meditated 20 years or more.
you can put a QR code on a metal sheet nailed to a post and call it a day. And at least where I live the app option is also accompanied by an SMS number to text payments to.

An actual payment terminal requires electricity, a network connection and maintenance. And it has to be rugged to deal with the outdoors environment. If it takes cash, it also needs to be fairly rugged to prevent people from making off with the cash, and the cash receiving bits need a fair bit of maintenance as well.
Still is. When doing sneaky stuff in enemy territory and they have all exits blocked the usual procedure is to cloak up until the combat timer runs out, then (after checking for hostile combat probes) de-cloak and start safe logoff.

If you're in something big and expensive (i.e. a black ops battleship), there's still a good chance you can get probed down and turned into a big fat juicy killmail before that timer expires.
It only takes 12% (edit: 5%) of the US vote for the small states (which are almost all Republican) to mount a filibuster.

I'm tired of the excuses. We're facing multiple existential crises, and a small, antidemocratic, minority is blocking action that has broad popular support.

All citizens over 18 should have a vote, and all votes should have equal weight.

Source on the 12%: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/2jnmbe/i_did_the_...

Which I misread. It takes 12% of the vote to create a filibuster proof majority from small red states, and 5% for those states to sustain a fillibuster.
It is fat soluble, but it doesn't need to be consumed with fat. It's believed that that will help improve uptake, though. (I don't, I take it in the mornings long before my first meal and that seems to be effective for me based on my test results.)
There isn’t even a US bank that functions well in the US, let alone abroad. Absolutely nothing like Monzo available (until Monzo itself becomes more broadly available…)
Hmm, I swear that I viewed source and saw XML but you are right. It is definitely just HTML now.
There's implementations where it would work, be effective, or be both.

It all depends on what the key material is protected with at that point. If it's something provided client side and is transmitted securely, and used blindly, then it would work. Anything short of that would probably trigger my curiosity.

Edit: This kind of statement also needs to b prepended with who you're trying to protect yourself from, because that entirely changes the game.

Edit: There's also key exchange (and derivation) that could happen and impact the effectiveness of this process.
Vipassana is insight meditation, not mindfulness and not really appropriate for beginners. The closest equivalent to mindfulness would be concentration, or samadhi.
Interesting, I always thought that residency got busier than med school, I guess it depends on residency type (e.g., surgical, radiology(?), etc). As a resident, do you see any startup opportunities within medicine? For example, I've seen some companies being started around machine learning in say, rad onc or radiology. Wondering how often findings from academic university research laboratories get translated into companies. Of course, there is the occasional biotech startup from wet labs.
I think there is a difference between being thrown off by your routine (I have the same feeling if I’m not carrying my wallet or keys with me) and being “addicted” (for lack of a better word) to your phone and going into withdrawal - the number of situations I’m constantly in where people are incapable of being “present” because they are on their phones is depressing and astonishing

Thank you for being so hostile. Amazing how triggered people get when you mention MacOS. I was referencing consumer usability, not enterprise utility.

Do they have to pay attention to it? No. Will it help improve their OS as a daily driver for non enterprise users? Sure.
No, they have not dried up; about a year ago, I changed jobs, effectively doubling my already six-figure salary. I'm currently in the interview process again and from my experience so far, while I don't think I'll be doubling my salary, I do expect the position I end up taking will probably pay $30,000-$50,000 more than I currently make without any sort of jump in title.

YMMV; I'm a senior cloud engineer with 8 years of experience (all non-FAANG), though no academic CS background. Another caveat: starting right before COVID, I made the decision to only ever work remote, so all my experience with the job market in the past few years is only with 100% remote positions.
I'be build pretty much the same thing using an esp32 an 3d printed enclosure and a small custom pcb. You can connect via websocket from a browser and upload images, text, ect.

I've also managed to implement OTA firmware updates and a similar Wifi based setup as this product has.

If anyone is interested I'm happy to put it on Github.

Await is nice, but even with promises, I'd settle with people using them correcly: return something in the promise to the next one can use it without nesting.

But people use promises... and keep nesting.
a. and b. make it non-free because you basically can't redistribute in unmodified form.

However, restrictions like c. and d. (among others) could come into play however the image is licensed. And, in fact, absent a model release form, any use of images of recognizable people for any sort of marketing or advertising use is suspect.
Almost every encrypted app allows users to check their keys via QR code scanning or string comparison. If twitter adopts encryption, I hope they will let users do that.

At this point the same entity controls both key distribution and the messaging channel, so information-theoretically it may seem that encryption becomes pointless because it’s very easy to perform a mitm attack. However, since any user can check their keys (at least in theory), the service cannot mitm _every_ conversation. This prohibits mass surveillance which is good enough.
I don’t see how is the current wfh situation any different from before.

Before: work at the office. You were competing with people who lived in your city. You were limited to work at companies in your city.

Now: wfh. You compete with people who live in your country. Depending on the company, you may compete with people who live in countries +- N hours of difference. But you are not limited to work for companies in your city anymore.

So, sure you get to compete with more people… but you also got more options.

I don’t either, but they could have at least been open about “we’re WFH today but going hybrid as soon as COVID allows.” Instead they waffled and hedged around and wouldn’t commit.

Add in several other factors… 1. the VP and extended team I would have been working with was in Seattle and this position was in VA. 2. There’s an AWS office down the street from my house but they were 100% non-committal about the position being located there (vs the new Arlington HQ2). 3. Would have been a new team with lots of new hires, so I could have just hired them locally (if deemed necessary, though I’ve managed remotely for years now with success so seems silly to me).
In a way, it is good for a famous spiritual leader to have obvious human flaws. I don't know too much about modern Buddhism but I don't think it would be good for Buddhists to worship their leader as being more than a mere mortal who might enjoy wearing a fancy watch.
I’ve had an ebay account continuously since 1999. I never use it for selling anymore; the Chinese junk resellers, bias towards those kinds of sellers, and ridiculous fees have warned me off. I only buy.

Sunlight’s effects on body chemistry also have a damping effect on inflammation. It’s a funny thing.

Sunlight has an impact on many chemical processes in and on the body. One example: Our skin is coated with a bunch of chemicals. There’s a number of
different acidic chemicals. These are known as the “acid mantle”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_mantle

One of these substances is urocanic acid. The body manufactures it as the trans-isoform. UV light – as in sunlight – causes it to change into cis-urocanic acid. (Ultraviolet-induced isomerization.)

Cis-urocanic acid fits a certain serotonin receptor – type 5-HT2A. Cis-urocanic acid is a 5-HT2A agonist. That receptor is known to be profoundly immunomodulatory.

It’s super interesting! There are some recent papers on it like “ Cis-urocanic acid, a sunlight-induced immunosuppressive factor, activates immune suppression via the 5-HT2A receptor” – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17085585/

“Molecular basis for cis-urocanic acid as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist” – https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960894X0...

This is absolutely fascinating. I think people take me as a crackpot when I point to these papers. These are just simple and solid papers from molecular biology :)
Just curious then, how visible do they make their own connection to elites in the podcast or articles? Sounds like they're very much part of one of those power structures. I don't see any of that at a quick perusal of this article, it appears to be written as if it sits outside.
My skillset is mostly in Machine Learning. I had ML internships, research assistantships, an MLE contract.

I can't get junior dev jobs because they are asking for $tech-du-jour and they told me that, they told me that they don't care that I have a master's from one of the top universities in Europe but they care that I lack experience with a particular tech stack.
Having lived in Boulder CO for several years, which is basically the Mecca of Americanized mindfulness, I can attest that this is true. The most ardent practitioners that I met were invariably self obsessed.
I've heard this as well. Even undergrad was kind of busy for me. Would definitely be better to learn programming before med school.

Cross time zone asynchronous communication is not better. Things can get delayed by days since you can fall into the trap of only being able to send a single message to them per day.
There’s a whole subculture of people who put together ‘Get Home Bags’ in case their car breaks down or some other unforeseen event requires they hoof it. It’s probably not a bad idea.
Yeah, I really don't get point. If you want to have secure encrypted communication channel don't rely on any platform. Do it yourself with some standard tool or protocol. And then use third channel to verify the material.

Of things I used to need to carry, interface with, or reference the iphone is: a gps/atlas, camera, camcorder, dictionary, calculator, encyclopedia, checkbook, pager, e-mail terminal, yellow pages, on and on, and a phone. It’s easy to pretend that it’s just a doom-scrolling distraction but that’s not true. To give up all those other things would make life much more difficult.

While I don't have one, I went down the pathway to replace almost a decade of using Pebbles , looking at PineTime, Bangle.js, Amazfit, Watchy, etc...and I just settled on buying a replacement housing for my Pebble, pushing the problem off to be dealt with in another 5 years.

The battery life on Watchy leaves a lot to be desired, as does the lack of a water-resistant sealed case, but the full featured hardware is a real contender.

The Bangle.js 2 is my second choice in the line up of open source smartwatches.
Pro tip: A+B will detonate a remote-mine (no need to switch to the watch).
> I don't know, the Romans were pretty democratic so I've been told and they collapsed due to internal reasons. Lots of empires that weren't so democratic lasted much longer. Is that your point?

Do you think Obamacare was beneficial for the USA society? The cut in taxes by Trump? The wars in Irak, in Afghanistan? Did the fed ever get it wrong? Just within the last years there's a huge number of decisions that I'd imagine you'd think maybe had a bad effect on the country, regardless of your political inclinations.

> Has there ever been a government that is completely atheistic and yet is doing well, thriving in fact? Hmmm...you may not like that answer to that me thinks.

Dude, go touch grass. Being a jerk on YC does not make you look cool, smart, or savvy.
Interesting, I'm not sure why you would bother to do that vs. just stamping carbon steel sheet, the resulting product would seem, at least to my guess, be basically interchangeable. I wonder if there is some difference that matters here.

I agree with the feeling of liberation, but I’ve also known a time when I had to navigate the world without a phone, and there was a solution: ask for help. It was stressful to interact with stranger, at least the initial contact, but also very enjoyable to get advice and simply an answer to my question. I never get a feeling of gratitude for my phone and I miss it.

It's not the 90s anymore. Rightly or wrongly, we've integrated with these devices. Leaving it behind is like leaving a lobe at home.

Ask HN: Transflective LCD Monitors
I'd like to work outside. Back in the day, Sony had a Palm OS device called the Clie. One model had a trnsflective LCD screen. It wasn't so great indoors, but for outdoors work, it was splendid. I believe the original Game Boy Advance also had one.

Is anybody making screen-sized transflective monitors these days? Any demand for such a thing aside from myself? inb4 google: shopping only seems to return mini-displays for arduino projects and such.
Let’s look at this another way, a way that we might gain common ground on: by phrasing word problems like finding the average of something in the context of things that affect daily life like the salaries of women soccer players it might inspire a child or learner to want to learn more, research more, and by extension practice or learn more math. Making math interesting is one way to help kids better themselves in it. I think we can both get behind that. Now where we will differ is the text of these word problems but what if we had equal parts “woke”/non-“woke” text? Would that be a good enough compromise?
Sure, for basic stuff maybe even the now unmaintained gjc would have worked.
You have no constitutional right in the US to see any of the evidence against you before trial.

And where I am in Illinois, until a couple of years ago, if you were held in a county jail awaiting trial you were prohibited by law from having a copy of any of the evidence against you.
Consultants and contractors have been hired on prem for ages. If employers didn’t clamour for such contractors before, I don’t know why they would now.
You don't need to invent fake people, just use the ID of a real one.

If someone opened a bank account with your ID and name, would you ever know? A checking account doesn't gain interest so there will be no tax filing about paltry amounts, and if they don't frame you or overdraft the account then or never use an institution that you'll ever use then what? Its not like the statements will ever come to your address.
A lot of supply chain security relies on trusted actors doing the right thing. It’s similar to how you can trust an ingredients label.

I suppose I could mention that on a Mac, I use Objective-See’s tools to watch what programs do in the background. And also on a Mac, you have to grant access to apps first otherwise they can’t normally access files. Of course, that breaks down in reality as most apps are useless if they can’t access files.

If you really want a scare, consider that if you compromise an ecosystem package (e.g. npm), you can run on developer machines, CI systems and possibly in production, while if you compromise a VS Code extension, you only get dev machines.

If you’re looking for a bit of extra protection, you can run VS Code from a virtual machine or even run it from Docker. Though the usual docker approach, using remote containers extension, still runs on your local computer. There’s GitHub Codespaces or Google Cloud Shell that can run VS Code remotely in a VM, though.
one of my all-time favorites! ...aaand this is my receipt, for your receipt.
And you're 100% right.

And I am really giving it thought in destroying the "community" aka reddit's profit motive. Im quite done being a "volunteer" kind-of-owner of a subreddit with no support.

My choice probably won't affect that much in the larger picture. Maybe it will?
It will never be "secure" because no government would allow that.

I recently started intentionally leaving my phone behind precisely to get those uncomfortable feelings back again, albeit to some controlled degree. I enjoy having to problem solve, I enjoy navigating novel situations, I enjoy feeling real accomplishment after solving problems rather than just having the answers given to me.

Of course there's other ways to get those feelings in life, but I was in general just finding myself getting way too comfortable in daily life. It felt abnormal, unnatural, in a way. There's also the added benefit of not being able to retreat into your phone for entertainment, it forces you to engage with the world around you.
I can believe that, my problems have always arisen when people want to transfer to another device, or access from two devices at the same time.

I know such things are possible (it works for me) but many people get themselves in a horrible mess.
Just went through the interview gauntlet and timezone was a common topic. As software delivery pace is communication driven being within a couple time zones was explicitly called out by most recruiters and mentioned by the rest as being preferred most of the time. There was exception for working on the road even if it took you out of their preferred TZ band for a few weeks. Going too far away or for too long? Call it vacation instead. Just get shit done, was the sentiment.

So it’s in employers minds too. They’re still hiring local it’s just local is defined as a TZ now not an area code.
