It's fair to assume that British pensioners that move to Spain are not doing it on a temporary basis, however they are still called expats. This kind of language is usually an indication of exceptionalism.

Another example is British newspapers which use "corruption" when writing about alleged corruption in African countries, but use "sleaze" or "controversies" when writing about alleged corruption in the UK.
Sure they do.

Well, it was created by Bangladeshi people according to Wikipedia so I'll have to go with Bangladesh. If I hade not known this then my first guess would have been India, but I prefer not to guess so I ask instead.

“ Pizza (Italian: [ˈpittsa], Neapolitan: [ˈpittsə]) is a dish of Italian origin”

The only thing that the Americans invented is that cardboard stuff full of toppings that you outrageously call pizza, because you were not able to cook a proper pizza.
Well, vindaloo is from Portugal.

Tomatoes and peppers came from South America, so Italians (and Indians) have been using them for less time.

I think it's just best to accept the fact that almost all food was fusion at some point in time, and there's no reason to think it won't become part of a new fusion going forward.

I should expect it. It’s not really a “community” any more past a certain point, and more like a telecom system; communities may exist within it but it’s not a community.

An obvious factor others have mentioned is you can keep everyone in your head, build some kind of consensus around community standard and a few volunteer moderators can actually monitor it.

But another is stakes. If you ban Trump from Twitter, there’s a tremendous fan base and political effects. We don’t need to discuss it here, the only thing that matters is that it matters. So the stakes are high, and it’s not obvious and non-controversial that Twitter should even try to curate a community.

Conversely, if you get permabanned from Stormfront because you’re too left wing, nobody minds. There are no stakes. Nobody will try to buy Stormfront to stop them from banning progressives.

So it’s very easy and comfortable for small communities to police aggressively.
Yes, it's very much the opposite experience as a Swedish dad. If you go to a playground often the great majority of parents are fathers for the kids between 12 and 18 months. That's usually when fathers take time off. At one point I was at a playground with 8 other dads and an old woman came up to us gushing about how things had changed from when she was young and it was so nice to see.

Point is, it just has to be normalized, but without significant paternity leave, it probably won't.

This reads so much like Lee Child's Without Fail / Jack Reacher (2008) - which I'm currently re-reading. Analysing a printed threat:

‘It’s a Hewlett-Packard laser. They can tell by the toner chemistry. Can’t tell which model, because all their black-and-white lasers use the same basic toner powder. The typeface is Times New Roman, from Microsoft Works 4.5 for Windows 95, fourteen point, printed bold.’

’Typefaces tend to change very subtly between different word processors. The software writers fiddle with the kerning, which is the spacing between individual letters, as opposed to the spacing between words. If you look long enough, you can kind of sense it. Then you can measure it and identify the program. ...’

(Edit: Limited the amount of quoted text a bit; I believe a few lines is fine/fair use. Loving the series re-read after the TV show, and that I bought them on Kindle originally!).

I've spend hours upon hours with Algolia on several years old HN threads. I don't know how you come to the conclusion that it was better back then. Lots of threads had replies that would get light light grey real fast these days - not because they were controversial, but they just didn't bring any value to the table.

Edit: Something that came to my mind right after hitting 'reply': Maybe the share of technical threads to political/ psychological/ religious/ philosophical/ news/ etc. threads was bigger in comparison... If that's a downgrade for you, then I could understand your position.

It has been studied that myopia progression can be almost stopped via daily administration of Berberine. However i have learnt this fact when it was too late for me and I have failed to find a pharmacological reversal. Although retinalamin might have some potential. It would be interesting to see wether Berberine potentiate the presented method. Although i have been without glasses for a whole year and I was nearly blind after a few meters, this has not reversed my myopia so??
Why not combine both?
> I don't even know what actually causes death by SIDS

That's the problem with syndroms. From wikipedia: "A syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms which are correlated with each other and often associated with a particular disease or disorder. [...] When a syndrome is paired with a definite cause this becomes a disease."

At least in Europe SIDS cases have dropped off a bit. Our nurses attest this to better ventilation of cribs, more sleep on the back, and overall better sleep-wear, like sleeping bags.

But this is quite a difficult topic to study. You can't "try" anything. That's hugely unethical. And post-fact investigations are difficult enough with (1) the parents already blaming themselves, and (2) having an incredible observation bias by not looking at alive infants.
I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying the far more nuanced "anyone should be able to live comfortably if they put in the work" (along with the realization that this may not currently be possible for some people as "living comfortably" still requires a magnitudal improvement of their current situation because there is a very high floor thanks to the costs of living including healthcare) directly contradicts the popular narrative that considers systemic problems irrelevant to individual success (e.g. the usual talk about guaranteeing "equal opportunities not equal outcomes" falls apart if the opportunities simply can not be equal under the current systems).
I have seriously suggested that there should be a "million startups" fund - I think it was when softbank lost X billions and I reckoned it was feasible to fund a million YC style / cost companies globally. Yeah it's not viable in SV but there are a lot of cities outside USA.

Do all of the problems you allude to there exist - yes absolutely. But we need something to spin the flywheel.

There is a story that inspires me is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachalam_Muruganantham - he invented a low cost tampon making machine - it was not the technology but the marrying of tech, social entrepreneur and local
cultural knowledge that increased wealth - and that's the next stage - we don't need another social media giant - we need thousands of locally useful social media (for definitions of local, social, useful etc)

And finally to be brutal - if some fund has 100M to invest and it's too tough to build out their deal funnel, no one is going to sympathise :-(
What do you mean "worldwide"? When I lived in Asia people lived in small concrete boxes with no windows so they could work in big cities and not pay a lot for rent.

With the exception of wealthy countries, I'd argue most people don't have the choice of living in an apartment in the city or a big house in the country.
Do you also have concrete criticism of this project or just generic general complaints about the topic?

Yes, there are many attempts trying to fix the problem, that designing requires coding and yes, that is a very, very hard problem to do right.

But just shitting on something because you feel bitter about the topic (or whatever your motivation is) probably won't lead to anything interesting.

A moving wifi AP wouldn't really help with establishing a location, since it's, well, non-stationary :)

In theory, it could establish that you are on a bus/train/airplane... and then look up any public transport information for whereabouts of that vehicle, but I don't think anyone does that.

What's the current academic consensus on nutritional deficiencies of vegan / lacto-vegeterian diet?

I grew up on a lacto-vegeterian diet in India. I can't shake off the feeling that I would've had a better physique and growth if I had access to non-vegetarian food during my youth.
At time of writing, five other comments in this thread link to Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia is an example of a large community that has not become ruined, through social and technical counter measures. There may well be people who think that it "is not what it once was" and that's probably true for Wikipedia and for many communities, but that's different from the changes being ruinous.
I'd be careful making such statements without data. For example, one could wonder if what you observe is a correlation, but not a causation: cities that are close to the sea are rich, as seas allow easy trade. And cities that are close to the sea have a good climate, obviously.

You forgot that clock delay is computed for worst-case register and combinational logic behavior, e.g., "99.9999% of all registers need this amount of time for signal to be stable before write", "99.9999% of this gate in real silicon will have this delay".

The chart I saw several years ago put about half of typical clock cycle delay into this "reserve time" part. I guess things did not change much since then.

I have small kids and completely understand the worry and wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but I think the whole fear of sids is a bit overblown - from what I’ve read the chances are in the order of 1:14000, and is probably on par with leukemia or a host of other things that can happen. I don’t think we should be living in fear of that thing
Stop spreading bullshit, please.
First of all, I really disagree — what you say is at most true for the minority of Americans who follow foreign news or have lived abroad. I honestly think if you told my dad “Italy’s government has collapsed” he would think there had been some kind of major catastrophe like a civil war.

Anyway, even if you’re right, it doesn’t matter. Nobody was talking about parliamentary systems or Italy specifically when the person who kicked off this thread warned about “the government” having too much power. It’s absolutely obvious to me that they meant “the state” and were misinterpreted by people who thought the word was being used in its parliamentary sense.

I experienced rude person on one interview about 7 years ago. It was turning point in my career and I'm glad this guy revealed what it would be like to work for this company.

I was interviewing for tech lead in one of startups in my niche. The very first meeting with the CEO ended on very positive note, and also he said that there is a potential growth path to CTO (I was young and had no idea what CTO really means so I believed him). Startup was fairly established with big customer base for the niche it operates. And my experience was a perfect fit, at least from technical point of view.

Prior to that role I was working in environment where people generally had respect to each other. I never had to deal with politics. It was enough to be respectful and just deliver what I was meant to deliver.

When I entered the interview there was a long table, on the other side of the table there were 4 persons - CEO, COO, accountant, and some older person in his early 50s. On the other side of that table there was a chair for me to sit on.

The interview immediately started from a bombardment of non-technical questions I would normally have time to reflect on. But still, I was expected to provide fast responses even though those questions was not really even close to what the role was about or what I disclosed on my CV. Particularly the older guy was very active and, well, the tone of his voice and the way how he was structuring his questions was not nice, to say the least. Anything I said was immediately denied by this guy, and while the time was passing the tone of his voice and general behavior was becoming more and more rude.

I remember what I was thinking about straight after I left the interview - this was the worst interview in my life, it felt like actor-played drama. I was on many interviews prior to this one, I think I can say I have seen enough to be able to tell the difference :) Later on, when I talked this through with my wife I was wondering if leaving would not be better way to end this theater, from perspective of years I think I could steer the interview away from areas I'm not competent by simply saying that it's not what I advertised on my CV.

When I left the room I was simply told I'm not a good fit, even though days earlier CEO was very excited and during the interview there was not a single technical question asked (like, not even what technologies I worked with, or what projects I delivered). I found it quite confusing, but such is life, I moved on :)

Okay, if 20% ROI is extremely unrealistic and physical labor is for fools, what's your story for the guy trying to come out of poverty and willing to put in whatever it takes?

Are you saying that the poor are just destined to remain poor?

I'm not saying the narrative they're told is correct, I'm saying the wealth disparities in society are undesirable and if just telling poor people to pull themselves out of poverty is not viable, we need other solutions to address those disparities.
For most people dreaming of running a startup doesn't lead to running a startup. It's just something nice to daydream about. Kind of like winning the lottery or getting in to shape or taking a year off to go travelling. The idea is much nicer than the painful, difficult job of actually making it happen.

Finding a problem that you need to fix, or an idea that you're certain will turn in to an amazing product, is what creates great (and terrible) startups. Until you find the right idea you're unlikely to start something.

My advice to people who believe they'd make a great founder is to go out and get a job at someone else's startup, or an established business, and spend time really thinking about the problems you see people facing. That's where startup inspiration came from for a lot of people.

Ukraine will not be victorious.

NATO members are more than willing to "fight Russia to the last Ukrainian", but I guarantee that if things really heat up, they'll throw Ukraine under the bus just like they did South Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria.

The best outcomes for everyone involved is some settlement where Ukraine continues to exist and NATO and Russia both agree to not interfere. See the agreement over Laos in the 1960's - neutrality.
Currently I would recommend Restic <https://restic.net/>, which I use it both for personal and professional backups. It can have some rough edges, but all-in-all it's the "best" (as in a good balance between ease of use, complexity and sustainability) for my own use-case.

In the past I've used `rdiff-backup` due to the lack of a better suited (to my use-case) alternative.

Please note the emphasis on "my use-case"! Thus, a good backup solution must make sense for your own context. Choosing the most "popular" solution might not be a good option if it's too complex (or expensive) for you to use, or the worst case scenario to recover data from.

Perhaps start small: even a copy (i.e. `rsync`) of your data on an external hard-drive is good enough than nothing at all, or if using OSX then try TimeMachine first. Then gradually move to better suited solutions.
In the case that this blood test becomes widely available, if your baby tests positive, you'd probably then use something like the Owlette to monitor your baby's breathing while they sleep. The problem seems to be the baby's brain "forgets" to breathe while sleeping and if you catch it in time you can prevent death.
> In a physical space a couple of people can start chatting and then call someone else over really easily to get their input. (...) Yes, you can broaden the discussion into a different channel, but that involves losing the entire existing history of the discussion.

As if you can call someone else over in the physical space and they immediately have all the context of what y'all were already talking about. You'll have to give them a summary at least. Which is the same that happens when I pull them in on Slack DMs. Like with rubber duckying, it may not be a bad thing to gather your thoughts on the subject, and re-articulate them when you pull in a new person.

More generally I do agree, though, that DMs should be avoided by default.
I remember when r/programming and r/machinelearning about 5-6 years ago regularly blew my mind with intelligent discussions but now many of the submissions in both subreddits are just ... not that interesting. The surge of users resulted in the eventual displacement of the original community.
And you got a better version of Taskmaster (guessing Norway, but it would be true for the other two as well).
As a recovering embedded engineer (though I am a CS grad), I strongly suggest noone enter the field: the pay is miserable, the job market is saturated with EE grads who wouldn't be able to do regular development without a major time investment.

I'm switching to full-time C++ backend and GUI development (so far it was 70% embedded and 30% this. I find that there is much more complexity in developing server-client systems, which optionally integrate with other systems, than it is to write low level code (maybe I'm just good at writing low level code). It's more intelectually rewarding, and you get to use higher level concepts. There's always room for advancement and computer programming is deep in a way that embedded engineering never will be. I've worked on embedded systems for 6 years and I've tried pretty much everything there is to try, from the lowest level to graphics from scratch, RTOS development and networking.
I think it is more insidious than that. Take for example Subnautica - an awesome indie game unlike many others, not without its issues but well loved and made with care. After the initial project success, the team started (and eventually released) another project - Subnautica: Below Zero.

However, in the middle of development it started to have issues namely around the decisions to add personality to the player character, character's gender and additional plot lines based on this, characters received voice overs, then it was redone, then plot was changed, people left, etc. The original game had no "main character" per se while Below Zero did and my general impression on reading all the drama was that the game was no longer influenced by people harboring love for the craft and those who genuinely wanted to play it but rather "others" whose interest was using this medium as yet another proxy to push their agenda.

Back in the days me and my friends used the term "normies" but I don't think this term would precisely describe what's happening. There are many people one would describe more or less "normal" who are kind, respectful, and don't degrade the quality of communities they are part of.
So here comes the question - who are those people who destroy communities and what we can do to stop them at scale?

Yea, all visual tracking systems are sensitive to the contrast of the arena's patterns/markers and light. Also, we recommend avoiding natural light and closing all windows for stable tracking. Also, all patterns should be unique, and don't forget to put markers on the floor :)
