I'm very much below the national average height for my gender. After a while you'd start hoping that conversations occur at your eye level instead of flying over your head. Practically everyone I know from the same gender and half the other gender are taller than me. It's difficult to quantify the psychological impact of always having to metaphorically wave your hand in the air to get attention. Or when you invite friends over and every time you open the door, you find their eyes looking over your head before looking down seemingly to say "oh there you are". In the article, one of the patients at 5' 5" talked about being ignored by the bartender because a taller customer talked over him. That is something I actually experience fairly frequently.

WFH has been wonderful for this reason, everyone is a half body stump on camera.

I don't think the people in the article are aiming to be super tall. Just tall enough to match their peers. Arguably super tall people (YMMV since everyone is tall to me) and short people both want the same thing, to be average.

With all that being said, I don't find the tradeoff of cost, lost time, immobility, and pain to be worth that marginally extra social respect. And to be honest, it's just a mild annoyance.
Primary vaccination and first booster have already been offered to everyone. The posted article is about the second booster, which is now being offered the anyone above 50.

Self driving cars could also kill everyone on the road from a single bug. A single bug is amplified a million times over vs a single person’s mistake only affects that single person. Overall, I’m looking forward to it, but I probably will never trust it fully with my life.

No, the interests of companies and customers are usually at odds with big mergers.

Competition is good for customers, it means different things get tried so there’s more diversity in products and pressure to compete on lower prices.

Figma is not selling to gain any efficiency or benefit from being included in Adobe, people are just looking for a pay day.

These kind of just payday mergers along with private equity profit by destruction mergers need a lot of regulatory backpressure because they simply aren’t in the interests of anybody but the people profiting from them.

Consent-o-mattic and

Auto Cookie Optout are both pretty good.

They also let you block rather tham accept all cookies. Wild to me that the accept all cookies extension has been the winning one, but they have a cute name. You should care though, caring is cool & good, & you should care about privacy online & reducing the vast capitalist-survelliance machinery. It's easy, just use a non apathetic extension instead of one whose whole premise has been apathy.

(I hear uBlock Origin has an anti-annoyance filter or filters that does something to deal with cookie banners but unsure what.)

US/Western capital has maxed out every kind of cross-border international tax "savings" you could imagine - it is so well known that Saturday night television comedians can joke about it and people laugh because they know what it means.

Now that some thousands of tech workers get tax-cheating benefits, it is the subject of solemn hand-wringing here? I call BS

I think the problem is coming up with a definition of intelligence that is measurable across contexts. I’m worse at creating mental models when traveling in a country with language and cultures I don’t understand. Does that mean my IQ is 100 when I travel and 120 at home? Functionally probably. It would probably measure as such.

Also my oral communication tends to be more around vague ideas, not specifics, and I have trouble only communicating one idea at a time linearly. I’m sure I would score differently on the ability to model something depending on how the test was conducted.

In general I would say communication, focus and executive functioning will all get in the way of measuring raw intelligence.
"Designed" is a stretch. Yellow and cyan become the nigh-unreadable colors instead with a white background.

> Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It disbanded its media relations department in 2020

I’m veering off topic here (much like a bad autopilot, bazinga), but why would a company possibly want to disband this?
I mean, take a look at how many projects recommend curl | sh as the official way of installing their software and how many "alternative" package managers there are, where devs can just push updates directly.

The desire of developers to get around distro maintainers and grab full control of update distribution is strong...
Perhaps, but the notation didn't exist before it was invented as part of the Fortran language.
I second this!

Also, a lobbying effort should be funded, to compel these companies by law to provide detailed feedback.
Given your background, you likely already understand all the individual components of how a blockchain like Ethereum functions, just disparately or in different contexts.

I'd recommend just taking look at the documentation / code.

Here's some sample ones:

Solana - https://docs.solana.com/cluster/synchronization
This is SQLite, so how would you scale itr to > 1? Certainly you can put an app tier in front of this DB tier and scale the app tier to infinity.
Just because there's a gap doesn't mean someone is being discriminated against. Shorter men could have self esteem issues that cause them to perform a little worse or fight for salary a little worse.

I worked in sales for a decade. I was better than top 1% at it nationwide. I'm 6'4". Was that because people just love buying from a tall person, or was it because I felt comfortable walking up to anyone and everyone since I was taller than them?
> The Gov.UK article mentions a possible solution: Using <input type="text" inputmode="numeric" pattern="[0-9]*"> is a nice option for integers, but it won’t work for floating point decimal numbers.

Note that there's also an inputmode="decimal" option which does have a decimal-point on Android and iOS

Really the answer is just, "don't use number most of the time, use regular text with the appropriate inputmode". The inputmode abstraction is better than the type abstraction; it lets you specify what you really care about most of the time (mobile keyboards) without a bunch of extra constraints bundled in there
You didn't say how it ended, is it still ongoing?
As an Android developer this is incredibly exciting - can't believe I haven't heard about this project before. I'm especially interested to hear you might add push notifications.

I apologise if this is already in the docs, which I haven't had time to read yet, but how close is this to Firebase on the front end? If I want to migrate an app already using Firebase to Appwrite for example, just thinking of the learning curve.
> 42% of Americans own zero shares, meaning that it is already not representative.

You don't need it to be representative, just to form majority. 51% is more than sufficient. 58% provides a healthy margin.

> The fact that 58% of Americans own a share does not imply that they are shareholders of every single one of the ~6,000 companies listed on the public markets in the US.

Should it imply it? I don't see the relevance.

> Further, 10% of Americans hold 89% of the stocks in the US, and therefore as many voting shares.

Fun fact, I guess. I don't see the relevance here either.

Unless you're suggesting that 10% of the population is more likely to speak to representatives on the regular, not hide behind a computer on HN all day while assuming their representative is a mind reader, thus being disproportionally represented? I could definitely see that being true based on my anecdotal observations, although I lack the data to confirm.

> it is absurd to imply that “the public” in reference to shareholders is somehow synonymous with “the public” in reference to voters in America.

If you make the false assumption that the public requires 100% support to do anything. Back in the real world...

Also a great comment. :) Good points on both short- and long-term effects.
Countersteering as a concept is also use in flying (i.e., not just single-track vehicles on the ground). It's always required to stop a turn, and may be required to maintain a constant (steep) turn, depending on the plane geometry.

But in flying and in riding motorcycles, it's dangerous to fly/ride by thinking, e.g., "counter-steer before the turn". It all depends on you and the machine, and there are other ways to do things.

For example, throwing your weight around also changes the center of gravity. On a dirt bike, sliding friction can enable you to be lower than you would otherwise, and sliding acceleration can help you be higher.

The question is what happens in the inevitable case you get it wrong. In dirt if you're low while accelerating and start to high-side, typically you'll instinctively drop the throttle, which is the right thing. On a road bike you want to have some degrees of freedom left both in how low your body is and how much you're asking of the tires, so if you're too low you can in-steer (taxing the tires more) without losing road grip.

So it's great to plan by thinking, but in a moment of hard riding/flying, it's much more important to feed everything through the cerebellum and not the cerebral cortex, and to have margins for responding to dynamic instability that track instinctive responses. I.e., actually practice racing and aerobatics.
I would expect change in market share to be faster for design tools than CMS systems / web builders, as the barrier to adoption is lower for design tools, however, change does happen when innovation addresses under-served market needs and delivers greater value against those needs. Framer, Webflow, Jotform and others seem to be on a path to doing just that.

I just saved the day for the Sagemath dev meeting an hour ago by getting us to all use Jitsi instead of the broken zoom. Most of the other participants hadn't used Jitsi before, so it was a nice opportunity to introduce them to it. I would also add another point to your list above, which is (3) Jitsi is open source (APACHE licensed -- https://github.com/jitsi) and you can use it without creating an account or self host it. It seems to be a great project that deserves more popularity and support.
I agree Bitcoin probably won't be carbon negative any time soon if ever. But electricity is definitely not fungible as production is not always in the same place as demand.
Thanks for this! What tools does she use, other than her network and Lexis-Nexis? I'd love to be able to access those. In terms of hubris/specialty, that's a great point. Law can be really specialized but unless you're in a big firm, it can be hard to find good specialist legal partners, so learning how to tackle new topics (while acknowledging your limits) is a critical skill.
> Now as an independent consultant I have no stock at all and still make more than the total comp of any FAANG friends.

Would love to hear your experiences doing this. I took a break from FAANG to do this, and I was making the same (which is great!) but doing utterly boring work (control over my hours was the point). And now I'm back at FAANG making almost double the equivalent since salaries there accelerate after 15+ years exp. You make 150-250 in the lower bands, but like 350-1M after that.

We're currently A/B testing TypeSense and Algolia, but the pricing model difference alone makes me almost want to skip the whole process and just go with TypeSense. Algolia's price per search model is a little ridiculous for people building UIs with live search.

Not for me, since I cannot decouple my breathing from my running.

I always fall into a two-steps–breathe-in/two-steps-breathe-out rhythm. It comes out to be a very unnatural and uncomfortable breathing sequence.

Stories like this are why ultimately all payments will transition to crypto based and self custody.
Having your livelihood at the whim of an algorithm is not only not cool. It is not sustainable. None of the legacy payment rails can be trusted to run without interruption. This includes Stripe, paypal and even the expected FedNOW service being introduced next year.
I'm still in favor of remote work, but I think those who go to other countries (heck, even other cities) need to be conscious of their impact, make wise choices, and strive to be a positive member of the communities they are immersing themselves in. Governments and law makers can also do their part to minimize the negatives, because like it or not, remote work isn't going away.
And how many times does a company claim you have violated TOS and then refuse to tell you how you violated the TOS? To act in this manner nullifies the TOS in my opinion.

I think their needs are genuine, if we want more of Wikipedia and more of Wikipedia services, it requires investment.

If you think one charity is more deserving your money than Wikipedia, then you are free to decide that with your resources.

You decide how to spend your money and Wikipedia decides how to spend theirs.

Resource allocation is not a solved problem and it is inherently political.

If you're working in the field, you have a perspective of what resources you need to do the job properly and it's always higher than what people outside the field believe.

Were the situations reversed (you were Wikipedia), would you believe what you do today?

If you could do it cheaper, why aren't you?

Dextromethorphan is available over-the-counter in the US and, I believe, most places.

A single dose of ketamine was discovered a couple of years back to provide a complete remission for weeks, for some varieties of depression including some that did not respond to any approved meds. But unfortunately ketamine is a "schedule 3" drug in the US, for reasons (strongly addictive, tends to persistent hallucination; cf. John Lilly).

Then somebody observed that DM operated on some of the same receptors, or something, and tried it, and then initiated a full RCT on a very limited dose. Approval for that coupled with a low-ish dose of bupropion just came out a few weeks ago. Presumably higher-dose trials are in the works now.

Depression is what is often called a "wastebasket diagnosis", analog to a wastebasket, or paraphyletic, taxon in biology, where unrelated species have been lumped together because their actual relationships were too hard to tease out before DNA analysis became practical. (Falcons ended up having to be split from hawks, on DNA evidence they are sister to e.g. pigeons, over birders' outrage.)

Numerous unrelated pathologies get called "depression", so the only way to distinguish them is by what med they respond to, if any. It is why we keep seeing spurious media reports that depression meds "don't work": RCTs depend utterly for validity on accurate diagnosis, which for depression does not exist.

So, search anywhere for "ketamine depression" for the original discovery, and "dextromethorphan bupropion" for the recent FDA announcement.
Go read about history, maybe you’ll be able to rethink about wanting the government involved.
That's fine that you don't feel comfortable working for such a company; I might not either. That said, I'm not being paid to espouse my personal political opinions, I'm paid to further the interests of the company (and if I can't do that in good conscience, then I should probably find new work).
i actually don't mind playing the therapist role! so many people come to lawyers when they are overwhelmed or in a bad spot. If you can help them out, whether that's by actually solving the problem or by being a smart/aligned sounding board, that's a huge bonus. A lot of lawyers don't like playing that role though (understandably so, since it's not technically "part" of the job).
The index is the least of the issue with the SQLite implementation. It's calling one INSERT per each record in that version, so the benchmark is spending something like 99.8% of its time opening and closing transactions as it sets up the database.

Fixing that on my machine took the sqlite3_file_open benchmark from 16.910 seconds to 1.033 seconds. Adding the index brought it down to 0.040 seconds.

Also, I've never really dug into what's going on, but the dbm implementation is pretty slow on Windows, at least when I've tried to use it.
At the end of the day, the only way the OP's idea has any chance is if regulations mandate it.

The government is not supposed to be oppressive. And if it is, you are better out of mainstream communication channels anyway.
Who created this liability for companies?

This doesn't make sense.

Is there a specific rule anywhere federally that any US state that says you must be aware at all times where your employees are when spending personal (non-work) travel time?

Moreover:
1) Can a state with no tax nexus to the firm (until the employee moved into it) have some kind of enforcement mechanism on the company ?

If (1) is no, and it comes down to a judge,
2) is there any case law that shows what is reasonable ? Does employer need to check every month ? every year?
3) Does a company have any responsibility if the employee lies ?
This is fun!!

I don't necessarily "live" in other countries, but I and a decent chunk of my friends go on extended stays (45-60 days is usually how long my stays end up being before returning to the US) in other countries and I have wondered if this would incur the same tax implications. Technically I'm really just on an extended vacation in my mind but work during normal working hours. So far I also have just worked off of the "don't as don't tell" policy and haven't run into any snags.

My employers security team has even caught on once or twice but I just say yeah I'm vacationing since my stays have usually been along the lines of 45-60 days or so at a time in a given country.

I still have and maintain my home address in the US, pay the rent and everything there, and I do return usually for a month or two at a time. Most of my friends do this as well or have a situation setup where they use their parents address and stay with their parents when back in the US for chunks of time.
According to the FTC the law states that mergers are illegal when the effect "may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly."

Pretty positive this would lessen competition in design software and restablish Adobe as a monopoly. This merger should be blocked.

OT but are any ingress/gateway systems using uring yet?

Really enjoyed reading CloudFlare's justification for wrtiting Pingora gateway recently[1], a similar-ish system. Im interested to see what systems tech (what system calls) it ends up using.

There's a ton of really great ingress/gateway tech out there. Kubernetes has a sublist that's pretty long[2]. There's a good comparison matrix[3] I ran into & it immediately made me very interested in APISIX (lots of box ticking). I think at one point I'd also run into a benchmark somewhere & they were quite performant, top tier. Would be interested to know more about tbeir chosen architecture & what if any performance optimizations they have planned/roadmapped/are-thinking-about.
