The shoulders of giants and the lone genious myths are the same myth. The giants in question are the lone genii

Some ultrabight people did the hard work, and you're just using their stuff. There's no spectrum between 1 and 1
Nice one, wish there was something similar for user rankings (with karma points).
The increase in excess deaths follows an uncharacteristic decrease from the start of the pandemic. I'm not sure how much of it is a real increase rather than the inevitable being postponed by enforcing very strict disease-preventing measures (social distancing, washing hands, shutting down busy places, etc.).

The weekly numbers for the excess in mortality very much suggests that the death rates for 0-14 year olds were significantly lower in the last quarter of 2020, and significantly higher starting in the middle of 2021, when COVID measures were (starting to be) lifted in large parts of Europe.

I hope the cause behind the rise in death toll amongst children isn't the same as that during the Spanish Flu, mainly that the virus mutated to be mild for adults but deadly for children.
It would be more of a grand prize with an internet access component. :P

Of course, if I still operated internet access and Kernighan was in my area, I'd definitely comp him a circuit. :P
Static linking is a huge advantage. I don't understand the point you're trying to make.
>Heterosexual lifestyle is universal among all countries around the world.

If this were true then everyone everywhere would be in a heterosexual lifestyle. Demonstrably false.
You do not see the hypocrisy in your position?

Homosexuality is not unique to humans, it's common in the animal kingdom (including humans) and only unusual in some countries for cultural reasons.

It's also universal among all countries around the world. Just some criminalize it.
I had colleague that was 10x developer but 0/10 communicator, if he didn't receive separate first message with "Hi, how is it going?" without me waiting for his answer before requesting something, he wouldn't reply.

It was such a dead end for getting things done (he was productive on his things, but blocker for everybody else.
Are there any major editors that can't handle this? Given that python has a very similar kind of formatting I would assume any editor that a programmer is using today can handle it.
I think we can all agree this is not a problem in Finland. Teachers there are paid in accordance with the high respect they're given in society.
Me not buying their products doesn't stop my users from doing so, or my employer from demanding we support them. Also you've clearly never been on the submitting side of the app store, this "careful curation" often misses blatant violations and instead nags for weeks on minor or non-existent issues while refusing to elaborate.
In most of Eastern Europe countries teachers had lower salaries than average as far as we remember - ie at least since WWII. It's expected for most of us here. But that wasn't my point.

The point was that you can't compensate all this bullshit with money. OK, you might find some people who can do anything for money, but not so many you can fill all positions in public education system.
Some of them even enjoy it.

> Sometimes, intentionally going after a market niche can be a good thing

Solo founder of a successful self-funded business here. A market niche is in my opinion the best place to be. A niche will be enough for a small business, but might be too small for the crazed GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH mindset of most companies. That's good! It means that you won't be competing with companies burning through VC money and selling at below cost (as in $19/month B2B SaaS) just to get GROWTH.

As to the main point of the article — pretty much all advice I was given turned out to be wrong. And nearly everything you read on HN (especially comments) is wrong. Or, more precisely, it's advice given by people who are not in your situation, have never experienced your situation, and likely never will. This applies to business strategy, but also to technology: your choices will be influenced by very different factors than those of people commenting here. You won't care about "industry-standard practices", fashions, trends, or "will it help my career" factors. You will care about line count, total cost of ownership, pace of changes (things that change quickly are expensive to use), reliability, and the ability to fix things when something breaks.

So, my advice would be to make your own choices and take all advice with a very critical mindset. Including this advice, obviously :-)
“There’s nothing fraudulent as long as the buyers know they’e getting a license and not the core IP”

That’s making a lot of assumptions, imagine the CEO of IBM set up his own company which he the sold to IBM. That kind of transaction is just ripe for conflicts of interest.

Now to be clear Sesame Workshop is a nonprofit so this specific deal is less of a concern. However, public TV didn’t get the better end of this deal which is my concern as it demonstrates the obvious loophole.
Original owner tends not to own car for 8 years; FSD "disappears" when you sell the car.

Plus, there's accidents, etc, that weed out a fair bit of the fleet before 8 years.
I tried teaching high school CS for the best part of two years in a private school. Everything to do with the pupils was amazing and I loved every moment. I am a natural with behaviour management and although it was stressful, every time the bad kids acted up it presented a teachable moment. You could really feel the impact on their lives and behaviour, well behind the Python and the TCP/IP and while loops.

But everything to do with working with other teachers was utter misery. Never have I met such a cantankerous downtrodden passive aggressive bunch of backstabbing political jobsworths. Actually, it was probably only one third of the staff that were the hyper negative old timers, but they had such a dismal impact on me it felt like everyone was cut from the same cliquey snobby cloth. Imagine the worst, most power hungry, little-napoleon office manager you’ve ever had and then imagine one in three of the staff have that mindset.

It drove me mad and I’m now a SWE again but also volunteering at a youth center in our most deprived part of town and loving it. I can have impact with the kids, and as a volunteer I seem to command much more respect from parents than a lowly teacher.

So now I am tainted too — if I hear you are a teacher then I will see before me someone who at best tolerates that level of crappiness in their workplace, and at worst actively takes part in it. Neither leave me with much respect for you, but I know why you do it: the kids.
We don't know. From what I've read, we know a little bit about early theory, but don't know precisely what scales and intervals they were talking about.
I think choosing to cut back on expenses and income to the point of living below the poverty line is radical and using government assistance to that end doesn't seem like something also commonly considered to be an option for doing so.

Radical or not, it's what I'm doing and I know very few people who do this. It sure seems radical to me because people seeking to stop using money is something I see something noted in the mainstream as radical. If what I'm describing is mainstream living and mainstream usage of government assistance, would you point me to where to find the rest of the people doing this? I could really benefit from more community support around such endeavors.
Frames on film need to tile together. If a film had a series of ellipses on it these would still be inscribed in rectangles and a lot of space would be wasted.

> Define love and define god.

The first definition is easier to find.

> 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Ask HN: Anyone working 4 day week here, as an employee?
This is a question for salaried employees (or those who charge by the hour, but are expected to work full 40 hours for an employer).

Where/How did you find your job? If you started at 40 hours per week, how did you negotiate it to 32?
The ones being protected are not tbe patients. They lose access to many good doctors who should still be doctors. Many more now don't get the highest standard of care and in some cases any access to care because of these decisions. Removing experienced doctors for political reasons does not provide the highest quality of care..
Singapore is about as democratic as China for what it’s worth.
Not OP but honestly i am tired of it. If i'm on stackoverflow, i want to see ads for a new course, a job posting or a clickbait tech article on a new stack that makes Java bearable. When i'm researching some obscure history, i don't mind ads about JC Martin latest book available on amazon (and i might even buy it!), and when i'm looking for camping gear, i don't mind ads for other camping gear.

That i get ads for camping gear when i'm looking for information on the French second restoration, and when that ad takes my whole screen, i get fed up and reinstall ublock.

It's easy. I know one person who made a lot of money from blogging. Affiliate links + direct ads to Festool or a know paint company. It beats adtech by a mile five years ago (for revenue at least). I think it doesn't work as well now with Intagram and tiktok, but he still get money from that.
How do you fix those problems then? Let’s say you have a “last page” button in the UI for example
And you're arguing that that's a good thing?
> separating the institution of marriage and the state doesn't seem like a completely unreasonable idea

What does this mean precisely?

Marriage without the associated state components (shared property rights, child custody rights, inheritance, etc, etc) seems like it would be much less effective than our current approach.

Being able to legally form a union where are assets are shared is a really useful function of marriage, and that function relies on the state to work.
At least you can sue the government. Good luck getting anything but arbitration with apples lawyers when dealing with apple.
Why would they? It just undermines peoples confidence in the institution, with no gain. That's the lens that these kinds of things are looked at through. Better to just quietly alter the messaging.
I’m not sure if you’ve had kids but they crawl around and are so close to the ground that any little thing is interesting. And they live putting things in their mouths. Throw a grain of rice in a kids play area and within the day they’ll have found it and put it in their mouths.
No, "republic" simply means that governance is a public matter, not the private concern of a sovereign. It has more to do with the government's theory of legitimacy than how it is actually governed.

The UK is non-republican because it's governed by Her Majesty's Government, but democratic because the actual power to choose the government belongs to the common people.

The US is republican because the government is constituted by We The People. If it became non-democratic, it would likely remain republican because changing a government's theory of legitimacy is harder than changing how the government actually works.
We're working on this! Hoping to have our new event dispatching system ready in the next few months. This'll let you hook into the post-issuance event and do whatever you want afterwards.
Teachers are, to the best of my knowledge, universally paid salary, not hourly.

The other reasons this hasn't changed are

a) This is just "how things are". It's more or less considered the "normal" way of doing education.

b) Changing it would require increasing education budgets by a fairly significant amount, and since those are all local, and based on local property taxes, they are much more likely to have a bunch of entitled rich people coming in to say "I shouldn't have to pay any taxes to support those damn kids" and voting for budget cuts. (Because the people who aren't rich don't have the time and energy to be coming in to these meetings on a regular basis.)
You can search by extension - there’s a lot of .exe files, mostly Russian AFAIK.
> To answer your question of "why don't they change professions?", I think that's rather naive. Not everyone is on the path of trying to optimize financial independence and minimize time spent working. Why do folks go into journalism? Or art, or music? Are those people stupid, because they aren't in software engineering where work is more lucrative and easier?

You're hanging out on a website where people regularly talk about how college should be abolished/de-emphasized because it's not needed to get a good job. Yea unfortunately, a lot of people here really DO think those people who go into journalism/art/music are stupid because they're not working in more lucrative fields.

Of course they do that while listening to music and probably enjoying art. Of course.

Republic is a type of democracy. You’re thinking of direct democracy when everyone is talking about the form of government where most adults can vote.
I know many Finance/Wall St and (Financial/Management) academic types who pay for FT.

It's high quality, financial news with a European perspective (vs the WSJ which is very US-centric). I assume they keep the prices high enough to support their operations without having to dilute their coverage for the mass market who will want their celebrity news, daily outrage fodder, censorship etc.
"not dying" is surprisingly underrated these days :D
Of course, the problem in Poland is bad planning and lack of tracks. Europe on avarage has only got about half of the tracks we had before ww2, due to extensive damage. Still I can see things improving, slowly.
Yeah! I saw the PR. Looking forward!
Oh wow. Even the same color! This is hilarious! :)

Boy. You got lots of ideas on there. And you've got a slightly different angle, if I see it correctly. It's actually business owners who are posting things they'd like to get done.

I imagine that it's hard to get businesses to tell you what they need. I imagine that they often not only understand the problem they have, or even the fact that they have one. Much less how it could be solved.

Was that the challenge that you faced, and which caused you to give up on the project?

It looks really well done. You must have spent many weeks on this!
What should the salaries for educators be though? I'd expect it to be in the top 2% of all salaries, not the top 49%
This is a lit review. The studies cited were:

- Participants assigned to fish oil + exercise, fish oil, corn oil, and control. After 12 weeks, only fish oil + exercise resulted in significant fat loss, but no exercise only control group.

- Participants assigned to fish oil + exercise, fish oil only, exercise only, and control. After 10 weeks, no body composition differences noted between any groups, but no group was very fat to begin with.

- Fat participants assigned to either fish oil + exercise, sunflower oil + exercise, fish oil alone, or sunflower oil alone. Fish oil + exercise significantly outperformed other protocols after 12 weeks.

- Fat participants assigned to either fish oil + exercise or placebo + exercise. After 24 weeks, both groups lost about 5% of their fat without any significant difference between groups.

- I have no idea what "RBC deformability" is, but two studies assessed it by having participants perform cycling time trials in a hypobaric chamber. One study gave fish oil for 6 weeks and found a significant difference. One gave fish oil for 3 weeks and found no difference.

- Well-trained cyclists assigned to either take fish oil or olive oil for 8 weeks. Fish oil group saw significantly lower heart rates during submaximal exercise, but no difference in peak oxygen consumption.

- A 60-day study of national football players assigned to either fish oil or control. The fish oil group saw better lipid profiles at the end.

- A study of elite Australian rules football players assigned to either fish oil or sunflower oil while training normally for 5 weeks. They performed treadmill speed trials at the end. The fish oil group had lower heart rates while running, but no performance difference between groups.

Take of this what you will. The reasons usually given to take fish oil are for long-run heart health. This seems to indicate you probably won't perform better or lose more fat compared to someone who exercises the same way but doesn't take fish oil, but you may see improvements in blood lipid profile, lower heart rates, and less oxygen consumption during submaximal exertion. All of those sound like good things to me.
There are definitely cultures where, for instance, polygamy is seen as the desirable goal (for men) and monogamy is the poor man's fallback. And cultures where abstinence/celibacy etc. is revered. I would be surprised if there'd never been a culture where heterosexual marriage (implying a life-long commitment etc.) was the exception rather than the rule. The Na of Yunnan is supposedly one such example though I know very little about it.
Because there must be only a single source of truth.
On the contrary, CRUD forms are an ideal candidate for being schema-driven.
You use slavery as an example of what makes the Bible a bad book. My understanding is that the Bible generally condemns the modern notion of slavery (one in which the slaves have a viable alternative). The Jews’ slavery in Egypt, for example, is condemned. Slavery in first century Rome, for an opposing example, was often the result of the slaves having no other option (the society having no way to support them). It was effectively better than the alternative for the slaves, and there were routes to freedom. I’m curious about your thoughts. You say “it is not a good book” while I feel that the New Testament in particular is considered to promote good things. Obviously the classic atheist liberal’s “bad guys” in the uneducated rural conservative Christians have done sad things in the name of Jesus (like your aforementioned conversion therapy), but that’s people and not the book.
This is what I'm talking about? You don't say "I don't think I should pay for something i didn't consume", it's your fault. No?
For most people, “X is useless” is a short way of saying:

Based on the headlines and search results I’ve skimmed, X has not been proven useful in whatever handful of demographic and contextual cross-sections have been studied. In accordance with other intuitions of my own, I extrapolate this to mean that X is useless in all demographics and contexts, that the question of value is conclusively answered in the negative, and — for some reason — it’s now important to me that you draw the same conclusion, even if you have reason to keep an open mind or conclude otherwise.

The shorthand phrasing omits all the pesky subjective, unscientific stuff as well as the weird emotional investment in other people’s thinking, so it might be helpful to just keep the long form version in mind when you hear the parrots.
>there will be performers and musicians and other contributors who may have various rights that need to be identified and negotiated before a legitimate streaming site can air it.

For example, there are pretty well-known TV series like Northern Exposure and WKRP in Cincinnati that are only available in essentially bowdlerized form because the music that was such a key part of the shows was never licensed beyond original TV use.
It is my understanding that he had a substantial amount of shares up to 2021-07-29. After criticism about the conflict of interest he claims to have divested his shares.
What about digital? Also, why not prioritize the spectator experience over space?

i.e. storage is cheap, attention expensive
I know a non-shotspotter effort to identify gunshot sound in a very different context which also is having a very hard time; there is a real unsolved technical problem here. And it makes me think that ID'ing gun model from audio - which will be harder than simply identifying the existence of gunfire - is going to be very difficult.
Yup, I think that his views on how governments and bigco operate are spot-on. Manufacture of Consent was eye opening for me. I disagree with him politically. Also, anarchy is not so far away from libertarianism.
Sounds simple but as a society we have decided not to hold parents and students accountable for their actions.

Teachers are left to deal with the impossible burden of raising 30+ kids and fail.
A secondary problem is that public schools have essentially transformed into state nannys.

1. You can't send the kids home because both parents are probably working. It's more likely the kid becomes lost forever and it becomes a government problem again once that kid is now living an alternative lifestyle that consumes government resources in other ways (crime, homelessness, or health).

2. Because of the realities of (1) everyone else is now forced to asked why the kid is no longer in school and becomes a failure of the teacher that the kid is not in school. The teacher must now deal with disgruntled parents and administrators for not enduring the emotional abuse and disruption a neglected child causes while also dealing with 20 other students.

I think a lot of problems with child education and just be traced back to economic realities of many parents today. Even if you are relatively well off having your kid kicked out of school isn't financially feasible for a lot of families. Even a disruptive child might be the result of absent parents who must be at work to even afford school lunch.
Less background noise, and better hearing, may have been factors.
This looks really great but eventually there is one place to validate your startup which is The Market.

No encouraging words from strangers will replace a candid critical feedback from someone who is in position to consider buying your product.

My 2c: Stop sharing, start selling.
My guess is that this hasn't changed due to union action or lawsuits because (1) teachers are salaried, and tend to be over the limit where overtime pay is legally required; and (2) union organizers don't think they can get any more money without giving something else up.
To be clear: I wouldn't quit doing this job for one that pays money.

I'd much rather work to make parenting a paying gig, since it's clearly exploited in modern society.
Is this a hot take on the risks of going into business with friends? Or a hot take on... friends in general?
arrogant, obnoxious, unhelpful, and entitled

That's just Apple being Apple. It's also one of the reasons I don't use their products despite how nice they look. They always think they're right, and smugly so. "You're holding it wrong", etc. The attitude is endemic.
Gay people are generally more educated and less likely to have kids/family. This makes them more likely to move to east Asia for a banking job. Their employers don’t want the country they work in to criminalize them.
I would encourage the use of systemd timers over cron, especially if you are already using systemd to run your services.
It's a question about favorites, so everyones opinion is equally valid.

For example, I like Heloise d’Argenteuil. Her view on marriage being contractual prostitution was a fun & thought provoking read back in my college days. However, she's hardly my favorite thinker.

Francis Xavier is my favorite public thinker. That's not because he's the greatest thinker that ever lived (I'd put Democritus as that one), but rather because he's one of the founders of the order of monks that educated me in high-school/college. He's who I resonate with. It's not a value judgment.
