I can't guarantee it's not the placebo effect, but I've personally felt better since I started taking NOW Ultra Omega 3-D, which is 1200mg of fish oil concentrate containing 900mg of Omega 3s and 1000 IU of Vitamin D. Many brands offer similar products that work perfectly fine so I don't want to sound like a shill, but from my research with sources like ConsumerLab.com this particular version seemed to offer the lowest cost per verifiable amount of active Omega 3s.

>not to mention trusting the government and banking system to take care of forgiving the loan when all the conditions were met

This concern could have been allayed by keeping the funds in a bank account until certain of forgiveness. Absent said forgiveness one repays the loan using the retained funds.
This is precisely why I asked for an example of reputable reporting from the right.

You can try to help making better decisions, e.g. citizen participation in policy making.

One example project is Polis (https://pol.is), which is used by the government in Taiwan. They wrote a nice paper about their approach (https://www.e-revistes.uji.es/index.php/recerca/article/view...). Maybe find ways to improve the idea? Or something completely different?
Do cryptocoin escrow services count as Web3 / dApps? From what I understand they're some sort of multisig or smart contract thing to avoid the possibility of the operator disappearing with your bits.

Preview has been seriously broken on my M1 MacBook Air running macOS Monterey since I bought it.

I can't use the space bar to preview a file most of the time— I have to actually Force Quit Finder to get it to work again, which it does for a short while.

It then goes back to showing me a simple info window which shows a thumbnail, a date, and file size.

I've been hoping an update would fix it soon, but so far, no dice. I really don't want to do a clean install.

I have multiple friends who received second draw PPP loans for their businesses in summer 2021 under the current administration. They received a significant percentage of their 2019 revenue in a full distribution to spend on payroll and some other expenses despite the fact that their monthly revenue at the time of distribution had rebounded. They were able to bank current revenues because current costs were covered by the loan, which will ultimately be forgiven. It didn't make any sense. I don't blame them for taking advantage of it though.
That doesn't in the .NET world as the framework does not stand in your way. Everybody uses the framework. It comes with batteries included but it's very modular and you can use only the parts you need and use custom functionality if the framework provided functionality does not match your needs.

Things I would like in a database:

- All changes stored as diff trees with signed cryptographic hashes. I want to check out the state of the world at a specific commit, write a change, a week later write another change, revert the first change 3 weeks later. And I want it atomic and side-loaded with no performance hit or downtime.

- Register a Linux container as a UDF or stored procedure. Use with pub/sub to create data-adjacent arbitrary data processing of realtime data

- Fine-grained cryptographically-verified least-privilege access control. No i/o without a valid short-lived key linked to rules allowing specific record access.

- Virtual filesystem. I want to ls /db/sql/SELECT/name/IN/mycorp/myproduct/mysite/users/logged-in/WHERE/Country/EQUALS/USA. (Yes, this is stupid, but I still want it. I don't want to ever have to figure out how to connect to another not-quite-compatible SQL database again.)

Most of us don’t lobby the government to write laws that carve out near-zero tax burdens.

Which, with the growing wealth inequality, explains that why the tax burden on the middle income keeps stable or grows; while services and benefits keep shrinking.

There were reports of that for the first round, especially from mega banks like Wells Fargo.

But not all lenders were banks. My company got its two PPP loans through ReadyCapital. My company had zero previous relationship with them.

Quote:
"Let us now turn to cases where the CAP theorem might apply. Consider error 6 where a LAN partitions. In my experience, this is exceedingly rare, especially if one replicates the LAN (as Tandem did). Considering local failures (3, 4, 5, and 6), the overwhelming majority cause a single node to fail, which is a degenerate case of a network partition that is easily survived by lots of algorithms. Hence, in my opinion, one is much better off giving up P rather than sacrificing C. (In a LAN environment, I think one should choose CA rather than AP). Newer SQL OLTP systems (e.g., VoltDB and NimbusDB) appear to do exactly this."

> I mean, let me walk you through this - your doctor says you have condition X, and need treatment Y. Being a skeptic, you get a second opinion, but it concurs. Tell me how you are not merely trusting the scientists? Feel free to explain like I'm five, I won't be offended.

So, you repeat the experiment and get the same results? The second doctor presumably re-ran tests, gave you his independent interpretation, etc?

If he came to the same conclusion, you’ve replicated the original findings. You used the scientific method!

This should have occurred at every step of the process, and you can (and should!) review the literature to the best of your ability and get it explained to you as throughly as possible.

You’re not trusting the scientists, you’re trusting the science.

(If you want to deploy sophistic epistemological arguments to claim you’re really just trusting the doctors, fine. I’ll bow out of the conversation, because arguing epistemology is an exhausting waste of everyone’s time).

Now imagine that instead, you’re not allowed to ask another doctor. Trust the science. No second opinions, the institution has already spoken.

Or the institution’s spokespeople, as is the case with (invariably poor) science reporting and politically-driven science bodies.

> I really can't say I have understood, what exactly org-mode is supposed to be.

It's primarily two things:

1. A markup syntax

2. a TODO manager. It's flexible enough that you can come up with your own custom TODO workflows (e.g. GTD, etc). You can do queries on a fair amount of metadata to construct your TODO list.

In support of all that, it has good table features (you can do spreadsheet like functionality in them), code management (execute source code blocks similar to Jupyter, but you can have code in multiple languages communicate with one other), link to just about anything (with a bit of setup, I can even link to Outlook emails). While in the middle of your work, you can capture notes and/or TODOs and have them filed away in the appropriate file and location within that file.[1] Finally, you can export into many formats (I don't write pure LaTeX any more - I always export an org file to LaTeX).

Example of a simple thing I do.

I read an email. It contains actionable information. With a keystroke, I create a TODO item in org mode, which contains a link to the email. Later when browsing my TODOs, I have access to the context.

Likewise, I'm reading an article in Chrome/Firefox, and I want to file it away for some reason. With a click on a bookmarklet, it sends the URL and related info to Org mode in Emacs and it is filed away.

A more sophisticated example that required some elisp: I take meeting minutes at work. Any time something comes up where a TODO is assigned to a person, I hit a keystroke and type in the TODO. It finds the heading called "Action Items" for that particular meeting and files it there. At the end of the meeting, I export the minutes into HTML or Word and email it out.
To use? No, most modern languages can abstract to a high level. But senior JS developers that don't understand even basic memory management are not going to have a good enough handle on what's going on under the hood to be helpful. I think is more to do with them not being remotely curious, which is a prerequisite to good engineering.

Hi, appreciate your support.

The goal is to make it really easy to go from idea to URL. So the CLI boosts your speed in kick starting the project and you should be able to deploy it on cloud with a single command.

There will be a platform, that gives you PaaS experience on AWS/Azure/GCP so it speeds up the end to end process.
No I'm belittling the entire concept of agnosticism as though it's meaningfully distinct from atheism.

Either you dilute the definition of God so much as to be meaningless (and thus you are an atheist who "well actually's" every conversation since you clearly make a number of claims about what God isn't) or you implicitly are being quite religious about which God you believe is the only option (in which case Pascal's wager does in fact apply very strongly to you).

Which is to say your ongoing position in this thread that "sciencism" is a real belief structure speaks to the fact that what you claim to believe is completely inconsistent to start with: you've just hunted around for a middle ground which you felt existed for the company you keep.

Agreed. There was an interesting post here recently that had this theory why churches work:

"Eventually, you pick a relatively relaxed “normal” religion, complete with all the “God” stuff. You don’t believe everything they say is literally true, but our reality is strange and inexplicable, so who knows? There’s a great stable community and you talk about the broader themes of life and you’re healthier and happier.

You secretly guess that the group is sustained by a minority of true believers who make up critical mass for a larger group of people like you, but you never talk about this and neither does anyone else. When you have kids, you feel weird about explaining your thoughts about all this to them, but you don’t parrot back what the religion says when you’re talking about the meaning of life either."

I’ll bet you somewhere in the neighborhood of 5% off small business owners used a professional-grade Adobe layout product to design their business cards but most have business cards that look approximately they way they want. They probably put them together with a neat WYSIWYG interface with heavy-handed guides that let them go from idea to ordering in a half hour max. Do you think they’d have done that if their choice was to create them with HTML and CSS?

The underlying HTML for their website might be as simple as a very complex excel document if they want to look like they’re from 1994… but a) that’s probably worse than having no webpage at all from a branding perspective, and b) unlike excel, HTML isn’t modeled after their common existing business practices, is a single-purpose tool for them and involves a bunch of other knowledge to make that html useful, like CSS, hosting, accessibility, etc.

If the technology exists to let them intuitively form a webpage like they’re working with clay then why not let them? If it’s easy enough, then why wouldn’t they want to form their own? If nobody wanted to do this sort of thing on their own, Squarespace and Wix wouldn’t exist.
I thought, hey, I'll read the claims. Maybe they don't actually say "perpetual motion"?

But then claim 1's last element is:

a transmission device comprising: a rotor is connected to the first shaft with turntable and the second shaft with turntable so that the rotor rotates on it, and the rotor and the shielding device form a dynamic seal to block, the fluid pressure; at least one first fluid chamber attached to and located above the inner cavity of the rotor; at least one second fluid chamber attached to and located below the inner cavity of the rotor; a plurality of shafts attached to the rotor, wherein the first inclined support-guideway system and the second inclined support-guideway system are separated by the rotor; each shaft has two bearing on each end of the shaft and the two bearing are disposed into one of the support-guideway system having a racetrack so that the transmission device rotates along the first inclined support-guideway system having a racetrack and the second inclined support-guideway system having a racetrack; and an energy output shaft attached to and rotating with the rotor, wherein each end of the energy output shaft has a bearing that the bearing is arranged on the side of the support-guideway system to guide the rotor; wherein the upper part of the rotor shields the pressure of the fluid on the at least one first fluid chamber from the bottom using shielding device so that the at least one first fluid chamber is moveable under the gravity force in a downward direction, and the lower part of the rotor is subjected to the pressure of the fluid on the at least one second fluid chamber so that the at least one second fluid chamber is movable under the buoyance force in an upward direction, thereby the at least the first fluid chamber and at least one second fluid chamber rotating along the first inclined support-guideway system and the second inclined support-guideway system and the energy conversion device outputting energy through the energy output shaft.

Sorry. tl;dr. When I was studying for the Patent Bar, I thought I read "perpetual motion" was one of those few inventions where you still had to bring in a physical model. This patent doesn't contain the word "perpetual" but God only knows what that claim means.

Telephone interviews are a giant scam. They could easily record them nowadays, but they don't.
In most tax jurisdictions, you declare taxes on your worldwide income. Although you might pay $0 to the Cayman Islands, you will likely end up needing to pay tax to your own country (depending on the exact tax rules for foreign income). This can be complicated, and you will likely need an accountant to help you with your tax return. You might be able to get away with evading your taxes, but I wouldn't recommend trying.

Secondly, there are costs associated with incorporating in the Cayman Islands. You might need local directors ($x by 10k per year?). The Cayman Islands does not want small business owners - their target market is huge funds not risky scammers. Minimum fees for professionals are eye-watering. If anything goes wrong, you could be bankrupted by process.

This area is something you pay an specialised foreign investment accountant to get advice about. If you are not already using a suitable accountant, then you most likely shouldn’t touch the idea. The fact you are asking HN is a strong signal to me that you have no idea what you are doing.

Finally, the reason the investors use the Cayman Islands are because (1) taxation only occurs in the country of the investor which simplifies everything for investors, and (2) it is a known legal risk that large investors have familiarity with, so investors don’t need to investigate expensive tax and legal implications because they usually already understand the risks.

> Every question before the court in cases like these has at least three documents typed up in Times New Roman and looking like that.

At risk of being excessively pedantic, there's generally the motion, the response, and then movants' reply, and then the judge's order. Sometimes the brief and the motion are separate documents (particularly when you're moving for a temporary restraining order or the like). So that's generally 4, not 3, documents that you'd expect to see.

Also, different courts have different rules on what the appropriate font is. There are some jurisdictions that explicitly prescribe a list of acceptable fonts (e.g., apparently Connecticut gives you a choice between Arial and Univers), and Times New Roman isn't necessarily on that list.

You yourself started this epistemological debate by arguing that belief in scientific institutions and authority was not justified.

I agree.
For instance, with cars, the essence of a car is driving, and hence the only thing that a common user cares about is learning how to drive one.
In particular, a common user should not need, and are usually not interested in, having automechanic skills.
On the contrary, that's the whole point of car manufactures and workshops, so that a common user doesn't have to care about those technical details under the hood, but just focus on the main task i.e. driving.

I think it's similar with computers and programs.
The essence of a computer is information, so the main skill a common person needs is knowing how to work with information
e.g. in the present day, navigate the web safely, how to research appropriately + identify reliable sources, organize and analyze data, manage privacy, etc
They shouldn't have to be programmers themselves, and indeed, that's the whole point of software, so that a common person can focus on their main task of working with information, and not have to be concerned about technical details under the hood.

note: things like excel macros where a software has a programming-like feature is a different matter, since it's a feature exposed explicitly by the software for users to exploit if need be. In any case, it's a software choice and hence specific only to that software.
