My understanding is that the amount of chlorine added to the tap water differs between regions. I read it can be a lot in the US.

Here in Germany there is a limit by law of 0.3mg per liter and most districts use between 0.03mg and 0.05mg per liter.

We drink tap water daily. There is no noticeable chlorine smell but I heard from friends their cat seems to not like it and drinks rainwater only.
What a brilliant and unambiguous abbreviation!
I don't often code in python either, but it's a considerable red flag that one of the largest languages in the world has been completely broken for this long. It makes me not want to invest time building muscle memory for the editor. Sometimes I need to code in python, and when I do, I don't want a lot of inconsistencies and jank.

That's what I mean by niche layered on niche- the editor itself is a niche project that leverages another niche project (tree-sitter) to do indentation, and when contributions on either aren't up to par it kind of falls apart.

I have used the editor a decent amount and it's quite nice when it works. I don't even mind the lack of plugin extensibility because there's not really anything I needed that wasn't built in.
Exactly, decarbonization will save us tons of money as individuals and as a society. The probe is that many monied interests don't want to change their businesses to adapt.

This is a separate issue from federal action. We take all sorts of actions with vast political and economic action that don't save money, to reduce pollution.

But by leading the way, we will encourage other countries to not build coal plants, which was the "legitimate" question that was asked.
This is a very good question.

There is a lot of literature that supports the role of gut bacteria inducing Tregs, and now there is also some evidence of epitope transport from the gut into the thymus.

Hence, I think these events might matter even if they are not very frequent.

But you could be right, and perhaps there's not really a relevant mutualistic relationship between host and commensals in terms of epitope crossreactivity.
Most voters recognize that carbon taxes are universally a bad deal.

For the low-income people, they mean prices for energy and transportation go up for no directly realizable benefit. Sure, we can say "you'll get a rebate at the end of the year", but that doesn't help when that extra 50 bucks out of pocket means a choice between air conditioning and getting to work on time.

For the middle-income people, they mean industry leaves for countries that don't have carbon taxes. They realize that free trade and (an intentional?) failure to levy carbon taxes on goods produced out of the country mean that all the law does is make domestic manufacturing companies less competitive, and what's worse, the countries that have no environmental production use inefficient processes to produce goods thus increasing emissions beyond what they would have been otherwise.

A tax on imported goods made with dirty industrial processes would solve both of those problems, but doing that would also impact the income brackets currently making money hand over fist in the current regulatory climate- so it won't be done.

The reasoning for "we need to collectively drop our standard of living" needs to be seen to impact everyone for it to have a chance of being accepted as valid and right now it really, really isn't.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Apple Music App?
Today was the last straw, Apple Music would not allow me to search for a song in my own library, "helping" me to subscribe to Apple Music subscription to listen to a song that is physically already on my computer for a "superior listening experience"

Over the years Apple Music (RIP iTunes) has gone from a critical piece of beloved software to a complete mess. Search now actively drives you to Apple Music subscription, old playlists won't sync to my phone, my library that used to be a carefully maintained list of songs I love has become a mess with incorrect album art, album names and collections.

Is there something that gives us what iTunes was 8-9 years ago that I can export my data and go to? I'll even re-rip the hundreds of CDs I have if it means I can properly get back in control of my music listening experience and sync both between my desktop and phone?

> I agree that we live in an age of highly visible unproductive engagement. However, banning engagement makes it official company policy that every interaction with politics be uninformed.

Not necessarily - I don't think engagement is particularly informative. A ban, even a widely flouted one, gives people permission to disengage, and might be valuable for that reason alone (in the same way that e.g. people have argued that monasteries and convents created a good place for asexuals in society, even when their rules were widely flouted).

I'm curious how simple sanitary factors come into play. Something I've always found intriguing is that in Ancient Greece toilets would use shared butt brushes (sponge on a stick) in lieu of toilet paper. In an especially fancy place there might be a bucket of vinegar nearby to clean it off, but in general it was just a quick swirl through some water and onto the next bum.

The thing I find interesting there is that the Ancient Greeks had extremely limited medical knowledge alongside practices like this. And they also lived through less than pleasant times, yet they were often also quite long lived as a quick perusal of your Philosophacrates of choice can readily demonstrate. There's certainly a literal survivorship bias there, but the ubiquitousness of longevity is, if nothing else, interesting. Certainly many of these individuals would have still left their mark had they died at 40 or 50 instead.

It’s not politically inconvenient, it’s socially inconvenient. It’s a straightforward equation where “bad” elements in the black community need to be ruthlessly put away while not being hostile to every black person the cops come across. This seems to be something American cops are incapable of doing. The current black community isn’t helping either so it’s kind of a stalemate.
But the second order negative effects have been demonstrated with an incredible amount of scientific rigor.

This is like saying we shouldn't ban an industrial chemical that is destroying US wheat production but does not directly impact human health.
> The unstated subtext to all this is that, to address climate change, we need to bypass democracy and impose sweeping changes through unelected bureaucrats and boring administrative proceedings nobody pays attention to.

People pay attention to SCOTUS, but you've otherwise described them to a T. SCOTUS is not elected; the EPA, in contrast, is empowered through an Act of Congress. The people you've described as "unelected bureaucrats" are a mostly well-educated civil service, one you've presented no evidence against to warrant their malignment.

Second thought is that we have a responsibility to learn as much as we can on the impact on gene editing on humans.

Found early adopters for https://divjoy.com by tweeting out some screenshots of the private beta to my ~1k or so followers at the time and asking if anyone wanted early access. Also started writing some short blog posts about React.js (related to my product) and tweeted those out as well + cross-promoted from the blog to my product.

You're going to need to get 1000+ people to hit your site to get 100 beta users so just try to get some exposure in any relevant community you can. Asking for advice is a great way to share your product without coming off as too spammy, so I'd update your post with a link to your product ASAP!

I think it is certainly a psychological phenomenon as well.

I read twitter accounts sometimes and note that sometimes the person writing is mentally ill, but has so many followers encouraging them, that I dont think they will ever escape from their delusions.

Prior to the internet, they may not have attracted such a large audience, and their life would have been very different.
Minority report? :-)
> Do you have a source on that?

Which "that"? OO or Urbit? For OO, no, I don't. It just seems obvious to me that OO terminology was not chosen to be deliberately obfuscatory. For Urbit, it's my opinion based on interactions with Curtis ten years ago. Many of those interactions were via email, so I could probably grovel through my archives and find what he said that led me to form those opinions. But again, it just seems obvious to me that Urbit's terminology is deliberately obfuscated.
How so? I'd love to use it, but I could never get the installation working for multiple accounts.

> because it's a secret and you don't want competitors to get advantage

Talk to your customers about their problems and their needs, not the solution itself. The solution can remain a secret.

> because customers won't get the idea without a mvp

Again, figure out the customers problems first.

> because revealing your idea might reduce your impulse

Don't reveal it until it's ready to be revealed.

> because customers will ask for all kind of features and change your idea into something else, more practical, like "get a job" instead of dreaming in your great idea

If customers are asking for features, then there's your demand right there. Strategise on how you want to address it.
Mainly reading threads here :)
I make a stab at looking at the top headlines. There's a pattern in a headline eg. Mentions of GC, datalog and so on which I flag.

The exceptions are Composita and Maude. Composita is off the back of Oberon, which is one of the smaller language-based OSes. Maude I found on a keyword search around formal verification- I'm looking to build a new language so interesting stuff keeps coming up when you go down the rabbit holes ;)

Congress better get to work and find a rationale in the articles and a variety of amendments

(As just one, like interstate commerce, will keep it on the chopping block by the same court)

also, currently people need to be challenging laws and the court has to accept those challenges, if there isn’t political will to still challenge those things then the cases will never happen
The issue is not polarization. The issue is that pro-democravy groups did not polarized more radically against minority destroying both democracy and country itself.

It is not symmetrical. It is pure power grab by wing who is also trying to dismantle democratic system itself.
Ask HN: How do you ensure everyone on the team is heard on Slack?
The premise of this is that I feel people are pinched for time and need space to work – yet when they come back from their coding mode the answers team members provide seldom respect the depth, severity, or nature of the queries which are posted while people are focusing on dev work and, in some cases, simply delay the discussion of it until the next weekly/in-depth check in.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and while daily meetings are nice, once you start to go beyond the bounds of "yesterday I was working on ... and today I'm working toward ... could you provide a bit more help and/or context on <such and such> ..." the discussion balloons beyond a reasonable check-in limit with regard to time.

The properties of communication in remote work seem very hard to crack and I'd like to know if this problem is something your team has succeeded at – and, If so, how?

Edit: To be sure, I'm not talking about alerts/system critical stuff. Additionally, I work in a small company, so maybe there are safeguards for this kind of predicament in larger orgs.

Thanks
Thanks for the writeup! Others, please feel free to keep them coming!
Letting states choose how they hit their CO2 allotment is totally fine as long as there is a universal per capita CO2 goal for the whole country. If there is no cap then self serving states will simply emit as much as is maximally profitable
US != the world.
This simply misses the point. Very few laws are restricted to the best science of their day: nearly all allow for administrative interpretation so that the US Government can apply the law without having to relitigate its essential qualities.

The CAA empowers the EPA to identify pollutants, and that's what the EPA has (correctly!) done. Whether or not the scientific consensus from the 1960s agrees is immaterial.
We already have diet coke imitating a drink that has sugar as a fundamental taste. I was going to say people aren't freaking out about that, but they probably were back when diet sodas were introduced. It's even called Coke. Vegan meat alternatives aren't "the opposite" of meat, what does that even mean?

> Hm, can you elaborate on what piHole has been good for?

Pihole is a network-wide ad blocker. So, if you have pihole running on your local network, you can visit a website without an ad-blocking extension and expect to see on ads. This is especially useful for mobile devices, like the iPhone, that doesn't have ad-blocking capabilities for Safari, Firefox, or Chrome.

> Did you set it up with an actual Raspberry Pi?

Piholes are usually installed on Raspberry Pis.
This is a bit like saying if you hire a freelancer to do some work then you're the author of that work. I'm not too sure i agree with that.
Same for Instagram and Twitter. The formats of the obvious spam is super simple to detect on both platforms for years.

Yet I haven't seen ANY progress on either platform. Assuming that they are much more competent than a random dude like me as a whole tech company, the only possible explanation is that they have incentive not to prevent spam.

Perhaps: spam = more notifications delivered = more app opens = more potential feed engagement since they've opened the app even if from a spam notification = more ads shown = more revenue = happier shareholders short time... all at the expense of losing long-term trust to the platforms.
Later, but similar engagements between peoples of west asia and europe form a sub-text of the Dorothy Dunnett "Niccolo" series. There is a rumbunctious, obnoxious monk figure who drives the eponymous hero to take the burden and be that ambassador to the white hoarde, to preserve christianity in the east.

Bumble bees are ground nesters and will over winter. Honey bees swarm in spring and colony collapse(likely varroa mites) have been killing the bees.

One issue we have been having in California is the planting of natives. Honey bees are Italian bees..not native CA bees. At least where I am, there has been so many California Buckeye planted and they are the first to bloom in spring. Their pollen is also toxic to honey bees.

When they swarm in spring, they’d go to the first nectar source after they emerge. Sadly, it would be the Buckeye. I always tell people to plant bramble(these days there are thornless varieties)..and bramble blossoms come before or around the time of the buckeye bloom..and much earlier than the rest of the spring bloom.

Of course, each region has a different story. In the south…iirc..yellow jessamine pollen is bad for honeybees. Honeybees are just one of the species..native bee varieties are numerous and often honeybees chosen for beehives and honey extraction from them are not native bees.

Where I lease land for my lavender fields, they won’t let me set up beehives because they don’t want Italian honeybees to compete with native bees and other native pollinators. Lavender honey is a very lovely product and bees forage for upto 5 mile radius ..but infused lavender honey works too.

Native pollinators and bees need protection too. But most people don’t know about their importance. That’s changing (here in California, at least!)
Is it fast enough to stop a huge economic and biological burden hitting our children? It’s sad how short sighted the majority of people in the US is today.

This really doesn't seem like a very strong argument to me. How does the US undertaking an expensive effort to use less efficient energy sources in the name of the climate put any pressure on other countries? I don't think our being "generally a leader" is much of an incentive for China or India to voluntarily spend trillions to completely change their energy strategy.

Rails are too restrictive for real life. I trust a self driving fleet to respond immediately to an emergency by stopping. Maybe causing a disruption but very little loss of life or property.
The way I try to cut through that kind of disagreement is to clearly identify the source of my opinion, and the situation in which it would apply. Ie. "Instinctively, I'd presume that in a few months when the customer inevitably notices that the thing they asked for was not what they should have wanted, having done it that way is going to come back to bite us." "Too brittle" or "too hard to read" are borderline unempirical; it can be beneficial to construct the actual situation that makes it relevant, so the argument can be brought back to empirical disagreements about reality.

And of course ultimately, if something is a subjective statement it's easy to reach agreements on the facts - Ie. "I feel like X", "well I feel like Y", where both are true statements - at which point you can stop pointlessly arguing and fall back on negotiation. "Well, I'll accept your PR if you at least Z."
Although sometimes bad faith does come into play, I find that the phrase is often used as an accusation to dismiss the other person even when the other person is not actually arguing in bad faith. It's increasingly one of those rhetorical tactics people learn online and apply willy-nilly.

22 is far too young. I've been watching his videos since 2017- the picture in today's video of him in a hospital bed with his 10 million subscriber play button absolutely destroyed me. He used to joke all the time about hitting 10 million subscribers as if it could never happen, and the fact that it did is a monument to all the time and effort he put in- should've lived to 100 million. A reminder to us all- life is precious, live it to the fullest while you still can.
