A VPN is a service that people who are not privacy conscious (which is most people) tend to only use if they have a particular need for it, such as circumventing a region block for some service they want to use. This isn't a very common problem for the average person living in Britain right now, but it's about to be. So I think it's pretty fair to assert VPN usage is going to become more common, as it is a pre-existing, ready-made solution to the problem millions of British people are about to have.

Daddy’s girl: Daughters, managerial decisions, and gender inequality (2021) [pdf]
This has been true almost the whole time, with only occasional exceptions. They rarely take any chances on the themes (when they bother to have any of note at all), pull back before making any kind of point or taking any kind of stance on the rare occasions that they do, have mostly-terrible original music (and often make poor use of their soundtrack in general) which is why they've switched to just mining pop hits for soundtracks (a nice work-around for that problem, but it gets old after a while), and in terms of cinematography are oatmeal for the most part—bland and flavorless. There are endless YouTube videos analyzing essentially all of these failures.

At this point they're on such a conveyor belt that they do a bunch of the CG before shooting starts or they have a final script. But, again, that's not new, they've been operating that way for a while.

[EDIT] I write this as someone who's seen just about everything except a couple of the most recent films. To be clear, the overall project is pretty impressive, but part of why it's impressive is that they've managed to consistently be almost bad enough to be actually-bad, while still holding it together enough that they're not quite bad-bad, just... economical, profitable, and low-risk. And they do consistently manage to make entire films that hold together OK in terms of plotting, pacing, et c., which one might think wouldn't be impressive except... well, I'll refrain from mentioning my #1-with-a-bullet example of a high-budget recent-ish film (from Disney, even!) that completely fails at those basics to such a degree that it deserves to be studied in film class for its failures, for fear of veering into an offtopic flame war, but let's just say that's not a given so it's a bit impressive they've had essentially no complete face-plants over so many films.

I can tell you this - most of my peers from HS that went on to work in physically demanding (often outdoors) jobs look around 10 years older than the average, while the ones that got cushy / low-stress indoors jobs still could go for late 20s / early 30s (I'm in my mid 30s).

My bet is on environment, stress, and genetics.

But those that by far aged the most, were the girls that would spend their teens and probably entire 20s in the tanning bed. Probably guys, too, but we didn't really have many dudes that focused on that.

For context, U.S. News and World Report used to be a trusted periodical that reported national and international news. In the 80's they started ranking colleges and selling it as a separate publication, which turned out to be pretty profitable, so they repeated the trick by ranking hospitals (1990), cars (2007), and then states (2017). The news business went online only in 2011, then shuttered in 2015. Since then they've just been a rankings company, but they kept the name to trade on their reputation.

Is a food coma / crash always the result of a blood sugar spike? I've never seen any literature supporting that the feeling of tiredness and fatigue after a meal is the direct result of blood sugar levels. Mostly what I've seen is just conjecture online, and correlational anecdotes about eating high glycemic index foods and feeling tired.

Not discounting people's experiences, but trying to suss out the science here. If you were, for example, to inject sugar directly into someone's blood stream would the result be fatigue every time?

It seems to me that there's more involved in this. In my experience (more anecdata!) I'm able to eat anything in the morning. Giant bolus of carbs and sugar, and I feel great. That same meal in the afternoon will give me such a fatigue that I need to lay down.

Clearly there's some other factor at play for me in the function whos result is fatigue.

I have seen gold metal level plans high deductible health plans that qualify for HSA. I do not know about platinum, but the difference in gold and platinum is gold covers 80% of expected expenses and platinum covers 90%.

My gold level high deductible health plan has a ~$3k deductible I think (for family coverage).

I imagine even a platinum plan can be high deductible if the deductible is set to equal the out of pocket maximum.

Either way, the numbers will not be too different for gold and platinum plans.

The problem of infinite registers is pretty easily solvable. Heck x87 already has that basic concept down with the stack registers. The only missing piece is moving overflow values onto and off of the stack. It's a fairly easy to solve problem.

Ryanair have a long history of very savvy, far sighted planning. Back in 2001 when many airlines cancelled orders for Boeing planes after 9/11, Ryanair signed a long term contract for 155 brand new 737-800s at a huge discount. They've taken out some smart long term options on jet fuel before a well.

Ask HN: Market Dilemma
I've noticed that in the market we are in there is still no clear winner and that competitors, even the big ones, are very easy to steal customers to. Also it's clear to me that most of the big players in the market are running just by VC's money trying to blitzscale or simply bruteforce product market fit, by hiring a huge sales team and spend money in a clear unsustainable growth. Is this a sign that there is still a big space for innovation in the market or that the problem with the current available production costs is not worth solving?

Hopefully I've explained clearly the dilemma I have in my head, pls give feedback.

So, a certain level of inflation is actually good. The general benchmark modern developed nations go for is 2-3%. High inflation can cause all sorts of problems even without getting into hyperinflation. Negative inflation ("defaltion") or even zero inflation causes problems too. Just look at Japan over the last 35 years to see this in action. Deflation promotes saving rather than spending such that there is less economic activity and this has a knock-on effect on creating unemployment.

Side note: lack of consumer spending is a ticking time bomb for China thanks to having to fund your own retirement and the demographics caused by the One Child Policy.

So 2-3% is really the sweet spot.

It's also worth noting that countries that run deficits like inflation too as it decreases the real value of their debt.

Central banks can contrl interest rates by setting the benchmark rate. For example, if the Federal Reserve offers 5% for US Treasury bonds (which are considered essentially "risk free") then why would a bank lend a business or you money at less than 5%? It's more risk for a lower return. This is monetary policy.

So as you can imagine if someone can only borrow money at 20% vs 2% it will have an impact on economic activity. That's the point. In the US, high inflation is seen as being driven by demand outstripping supply so interest rates are a crude tool for reducing demand. That's why the Fed has been raising rates.

The eurozone largely has the same inflation problem thanks to energy demand and housing but doesn't have the economic activity driving it. So if the ECB were to aggressively raise rates, the fear is this could cause a deep recession in the eurozone.

So that's what I mean by "they really can't> The eurozone has the inflation but not the economic activity.
Conservatives are, by definition, people who want to conserve the status quo. They believe society is good as it is (or as it was in sine possibly imagined past) and seek to use the power of the state to prevent changes, and to revert any changes that are pushing society away from what they believe is the status quo. Conservatism has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "being conservative in application of government". In the USA, it happens that part of the status quo that many conservatives want to conserve is a weak federal government. In the UK, conservatives are typically monarchist, which is essentially the opposite position.

Either way, many conservatives are collectivists: they believe the needs of society and preservation of tradition outweigh the desires of individuals, and so they tend to be in favor of concepts such as the traditional family excluding gay people, the rule of mothers in child rearing being more important than the freedom of women to pursue careers and so on.

The opposite of conservatives are progressives, people who believe the status quo is not generally good, and who seek to use the power of the state to change the status quo in a direction they believe is progress.

There are also many collectivist progressives, and as such tend to want things like egalitarian schooling even if certain extraordinary kids may be kept behind, or supporting progressive taxation such that those who have more have to give more to the collective.

On a different axis, we have liberals, who are the opposite of collectivists. Liberals can be conservative or progressive, but they ultimately believe that the most important value is individual freedom.

An example of a liberal conservative is someone like Ron Paul. He believes the status quo is generally good and shouldn't be changed to much, except where he thinks government has over reached. However, he also believes government shouldn't involve itself in people lives, even to preserve societal values, so he tends to support the legalization of Marijuana and perhaps even gay marriage (though given electoral realities, in not sure of his public position on the second). Contrast this to a more collectivist conservative like justice Clarence Thomas, who believes the state should ban gay marriage and even sodomy and contraception.

Until recently the Swiss National Bank was mostly concerned with pushing the franc down, they had the lowest rates in Europe (and after the recent raise they're still negative at -0.25%), after many years of this they've accumulated over a trillion USD in foreign reserves. Trading in the other direction and keeping CHF up should be fairly easy for them.

Yes! I agree it isn't easy to do this and I struggle daily, but haven't found a better path.

Certainly alcohol, partying, entrepreneurship, clubs, sports, travel, and adventure (the main paths I've tried) haven't succeeded in providing immediate happiness without effort on my part. (They all had their good aspects, don't get me wrong, but nothing intrinsically made me happy all the time and I was always left wondering "what's over there".)
True enough, but the spec is a specification, not a guide. It gives a lot of the 'what,' but not a whole lot of the 'why.'

Whilst this draft bill is laughable and outrageous, isn't a similar concept in the making for the EU? One not emphasizing children but copyrights and such instead? Article 13, I think it's called.

I consider them conceptually similar because in both cases it means that permission-less publishing will ultimately die. Right now the consensus is to allow publication, after which a reasonable effort is made to moderate, including the typical "report" function where you correct after publication.

It looks like we're swinging in the direction where whatever you publish (by means of your users) makes you fully accountable hence the only way to dodge that legal liability is to pre-check instead of post-check.

There's some hope in the sense that none of this can actually work nor is it enforceable. GDPR is a fine example of that. In my country, privacy authorities are a few hundred in staff only. When you report a violation to them, absolutely nothing will happen. They're 2 years behind and the cases they do handle almost never lead to any kind of verdict. No government is going to add thousands in staff just to regulate cookies, as surely they have better things to do with a budget. As such, the strategy seems to be to occasionally make an example out of a few by applying severe fines, just to scare everybody else and remind them that this legislation is a thing.

Let's also not underestimate the ability for people to revolt. If memory serves me well, article 13 had a modification so that people can continue to meme, lol.
GDPR has proven incredibly useful to me and others in imposing cost on organisations and businesses that want to fuck about with our data.
