Seeing people are sharing stories ... I'm a pretty healthy 41-year old, I live in New Zealand, got two Pfizer shots in late 2021, then got Covid in April 2022. It was like a bad flu, but I recovered from the main symptoms after a week or so, and felt drained for another few weeks. So far so good.

But ever since recovering from Covid I've had this tightness/squirming feeling around my stomach/gut at night, and it really hinders my sleep. I've been to the doctor several times. Nothing's wrong with my heart, and nothing major with my gut either; he can't figure out what it is. At this point I'm starting to wonder whether it's psychosomatic, though I'm not an anxious person, and wasn't terribly worried about Covid. The timing definitely coincides with my recovery from Covid. I'm hoping it just goes away eventually...
I bet it can predict that the Canucks will never win the playoffs either
There are plenty of decent schools and also plenty of decent jobs. However, my anecdotal experience from applying a kid to college last year is that the most selective schools are taking diversity initiatives too far. I know a kid who was a Regeneron scholar who was rejected from many of the most selective schools.
I've had 3 shots of Moderna and got my first infection of COVID 3 weeks later. I've had COVID 2 more times after that, the most recent being about a month ago.

The first two times were sore throat with congestion. The last time was sore throat with congestion and sore joints for a day with fever. All symptoms except for congestion lasted for a day, and congestion lasted for a week. Annoying but nothing more than a bad cold for me.
Art has existed for much longer than copyright.
Probably apocryphal.

Also the priests knew he was right.

He just pissed off the Pope and was punished for that, not for any astronomical ideas.

That was just the excuse.
That has long been one of my complaints about Rails. It creates a nice directory structure for the framework's objects. But there's no obvious place by default to put business/application "your logic". So then all that stuff gets wedged into huge controller and model files. (in the old days there was a division between 'business objects' vs 'data objects' etc)

#1 is definitely true. I had my own halfassed 'framework', and have dug into enough older web apps to know that everyone else had one too. (Or at least the smart ones did.)
Jones will appeal and the amount will be dropped, probably nearly 10 fold, which puts the payout in a range that Jones company has made.

It's like "babies first day in court" in this thread with all the ridiculous crap being said.
That's a good point, but on the other hand, this "lock in" doesn't seem worse from how Chrome generates and saves passwords now?

It would be ideal to set up backup auth before you need it, but you could also do it when you decide to move off Google.

So, not really a lock. It's a vulnerability, though, if you lose access to the Google account for some reason.
Optimizing Queries in Arewefastyet
I agree, I have a few qualms with this app.

1. As you mentioned, kdeconnect is a much better use case as it offers more features without locking you down to a system.

2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
Type guards in TypeScript are not sound: the language makes no effort to prevent you from defining an incorrect type guard that, when used, narrows your variables to incorrect types. Your mistake won’t be caught at compile or at runtime (until the variable is actually used in a way that’s incompatible with its declared type, which may be much later).
> it's literally the very goal of UBI to reduce (or even eliminate, in the case of "full" basic income) the need to hold a job just to have enough income to merely survive

Without significantly raising taxes on the people who decide to continue to work, how can this be paid for? Genuine question.
If I work in an office that requires plans to be done by a professional surveyor, it's my job to authenticate submissions I receive. If that requirement doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter. Your argument seems to depend on wholly imaginary future victims.

Plenty of dedicated spaces on the Internet for that - a space being dedicated to sexual activity greatly increases the chance that a user consents to seeing that sort of content.

But if lack of consent is what you're going for, then please explore CBT options for moderating that behavior.
Seeing people talk about unlimited carbon free energy with the exact same logic as rejections of climate change from a century ago with the exact same ratio between total energy consumption and armageddon is incredibly frustrating.

> After 25 years of experience writing software I can honestly say I have encountered many people that agree with this, and perhaps all of them (every single one) have not actually experienced writing an application without a framework. This sentiment sounds correct in theory, but it isn't based on any experience from any one of the people making such a claim

I also have 25 years of experience and started my career writing C and FORTRAN on mainframes without any real library let alone a framework and then wrote my own libraries in C for my next job where I had to write cross platform code that ran on x86 based PCs and mainframes.

My next job, involved maintaining a proprietary compiler/IDE/VM for ruggedized Windows CE devices. So I think I have experience working without frameworks. Not to mention by the time I graduated from college in 1996 , I was a hobbyist assembly language programmer on 4 processors for 10 years (65C02, 68030, PPC 601, x86)

I can say that it’s the fifth level of hell coming behind an “architect’s” half assed framework who thought their problem was so special that they didn’t want to use a mainstream framework to handle non business specific concerns.

There have been a few times that I have ripped out my own code in favor of a popular library when I discovered it.
Didn't the author mention it uses wasm and emscript? Which both can be run/compiled on browsers.

I think it's possible everywhere, but you'd just need to do more than copy paste the authors work.
Huh? What's your concern? Yeah there was tempering, good idea you signed. Maybe go freeze your credit? I don't know, you tell me?

Founder, similar stage, though haven't encountered what you have. Read through your other replies.

I would grant them the equity. It's on you for not firing them earlier - don't make them pay for that mistake.
Why is there not a non-typical UBI trial run by those who believe in UBI? It doesn't have to be tax funded and it doesn't have to pay out in a low purchasing power country.

For sure there is a 'living on one dollar a day' community that is willing to receive a UBI. That would be $400 per year. With a $4000 pledge per year, it takes 1000 people to finance a 10000 community. Add some technology transfer, and if UBI works, then the community should be able to finance its UBI by themselves after some years.

I like HN with some Soylent News and SoraNews24 mixed in. You can get a pretty good Slashdot-like buzz that way...

(Also I feel like there is TONS of room for really amazing rating & moderation systems still, like proving a rating & moderation engine interchange, along with allowing the user their choice of engines...use the sub-community's own, tweak it, or bring your own. And vote on your favorite engines)
The name of the union organizing workers does not imply much about the contract negotiated on behalf of a bargaining unit. The United Steelworkers have organized google IT subcontractors.

You should vest them monthly instead of only after the full term completion.

If the full term is 2 years, pay him 23/24 and let him go.
Thats a strange interpretation of the data at hand.
Why do you rule out raising taxes on people who do work? Does that lead to a logical impossibility of some sort?
If racing thoughts exist without medication too. I would look at CBT to help with that. They will probably also look at mindfulness and meditation exercises to give you tools to deal with it when it starts.

It depends on what the thoughts are as to what will work best, if they are beliefs or schemas about yourself, random ideas or memories. What they are could mean they have a different purpose.

I have them regardless of treatment, mostly ideas for things to research, or questions to answer or creative things, sometimes I just need to record them and know they are captured somewhere. Like a voice recorder. Because years of trying to remember things means when I have an idea, sometimes, I'll run it over and over and over again to make sure it doesn't get lost. Capturing it and putting it somewhere safe means I can let myself move on more easily.

I do have elevated blood pressure that is now slightly on the "hmmmm lets watch that" side, but I had very healthy blood pressure to begin with and can thankfully adequately manage it with some medication.

That is a pretty extreme take - that frameworks “always” cost more than they provide? On what do you base this categorical assertion? I’ve been in this industry a long time, and based on my experience that’s not true at all. “Sometimes” they cost more, if your problem is esoteric or a poor fit to a general framework.
Most problems aren’t.
You don't need a framework. You can control execution and use libraries. Once you use a framework changing back is hard. Removing a library on the other hand is easy. Because for libraries you control execution, and for frameworks you have to fuck your code so it will obey the requirements of that framework.

How exactly is it forgery for someone's landlord to send a copy of their (signed) lease to the local paper?
Yeah, I don't really draw much and I'm used to a mouse/touchpad for editing so it's probably a matter of what I'm used to. Also, at events I often want a laptop on my, well, lap and tablets+keyboard don't work as well for that.

Sorry not sure what you are implying here. The boss died of what at 49?
Question for you all, let's say you have an under-performer in a startup. At what point do you say it's fine to fire them without them vesting anything? 6 months?
Richard Nixon was the closest a president has ever been to implementing UBI and one of the biggest proponents for UBI was Milton Friedman through the negative income tax.
In the end signal and imessage (with backups off) provide roughly the same claimed guarantee here (on a technical level at least). They both promise not to secretly inject additional client keys into your account, (to at least obtain a forward-operating 'wire tap'), but the software you're running is all opaque and could certainly do so if they wanted (or were compelled) to.
I know 21 people that have had covid, from 3 to 91. 1 person had long covid, still requires oxygen months later.

Either my friends and family are unduly healthy, or there's maybe something questionable about the "half".

You already had a talk about the issues you experienced and it was getting even worse. I can’t see any reason why you should wait.
The author mentioned how running a Web server risks it going down because they forgot to pay or something. Then uses "free" services instead.

Unlike paying, which you can easily set to auto pay. Free services can go up and down whenever they wish. In fact, it's probs in their terms of service. The more generous the free service, the more likely it'd get cut down and be unusable later or just more expensive than alternatives. Like heroku free tier.

Paying money means there's an actual incentive and legal contract for the company to provide you service you paid for.

I don't know much about the book industry specifically, but I'd be worried about the viability of second hand book shops in street-level retail environments because of rapidly rising commercial rents in many big cities.

The revenue brought in by a second hand book store may be sustainable in a much smaller city with static/non rising commercial rents, but when a commercial landlord looks at lease renewal and decides they can get a whole lot more money if somebody converts the place into a small restaurant, coffee shop or (other) retail...
This is because of your ignorance of the courtroom process with a jury...

When those large companies go in front of a jury they are respectful, they don't act like assholes to the jurors, they defend their positions well, they avoid making the jurors hate them.

Jones did none of the above. He did, seemingly, everything possible to bias the jury against him. This is the pinnacle of arrogance and stupidity.
Yeah, I get it, why should we have to change to fit in a capitalism shaped hole? Absolutely. I struggle with that constantly. But it's much more than that. If it's only affecting your work and nothing else in your life then you're almost lucky.
Probably a long shot, but have you ever gotten a Lyme test? Tinnitus is a common symptom if it gets into your nervous system, and the other symptoms you describe fit too.

Anecdotally I was having a bunch of bizarre symptoms this summer and thought I had long Covid too, and ended up in the hospital due to heart complications which turned out to be from Lyme. They treated me with the standard antibiotics and I’ve been pretty much fine since then.

Sorry if I was confusing, but I was implying that just adding oxygen doesn't = water always. 5 oxygen = Hydrogen Peroxide, not water.

Yes, I understand that if you combust hydrogen in just a basic oxygen reaction you will get water; but not everything is as basic as that. Plus, the atmosphere itself is not "just oxygen". There is also nitrogen, methane, and more I am not sure of which to list here; but they are there.

In fact, I am so sure of my opinion on this, I just did a quick google search on the idea of "does combusting hydrogen always produce water" to be as fair as possible to all parties.

And the answer is no. At least according to these people, and other links can be found as well if you use the same search term. https://www.cleanegroup.org/hydrogen-hype-in-the-air/#:~:tex....

Sorry if I seem pedantic, but I am used to these sorts of things being the case, because society has a bad habit of misleading the public to get them on board with 'new' ideas.

Hence my commentary.

Here is an excerpt: "The bad news is that H2 combustion can produce dangerously high levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx). Two European studies have found that burning hydrogen-enriched natural gas in an industrial setting can lead to NOx emissions up to six times that of methane (the most common element in natural gas mixes).[17],[18] There are numerous other studies in the scientific literature about the difficulties of controlling NOx emissions from H2 combustion in various industrial applications."

I highly suggest every single person who supports Hydrogen as a fuel source to consider what they are claiming in the link provided. They provide many sources for their claims, and I might add... it makes sense. Unlike "All hydrogen combustion in atmosphere produces only water."

Now to be fair to you all, I would have been better off to use the Nitrogen Oxide example, but to be quite honest, I kind of missed that part too. Hence my example using hydrogen peroxide instead, since technically a oxygen rich environment could theoretically produce it (i think).

And just in case that's not a good enough source for whoever: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2021/ea/d1ea00037....

I'm not implying anything. The people that want to use this anecdata for their purposes will say that it's really odd a healthy active guy dying suddenly in his sleep at 49 is very rare when he was operating regularly on Wednesday at work and didn't make it to Thursday.

What he actually died of, heart attach or brain aneurysm, or blood clot of some kind doesn't really matter because it fits their narrative either way.
You can already scp over tailscale without running sshd. I'm still not understanding what this provides over scp. Some kind of GUI? Works on phones? The marketing page does a poor job.
Dang.

Well, hoping you find some answers, then.
Likewise here. With the back of my hand, another old habit.

Chips are more robust today, but not 100%, and some specialized devices like laser diodes are super sensitive to ESD.

The most evil thing are those plastic mats that people put over carpet in their offices so they can roll their rolling chairs. That's like sitting on a van de graaf generator. I killed several valuable EPROMs at my first job out of school, sitting at my desk, programming, then went to touch a chip to program it, ZAP!

When chips are in circuit boards, they're much less sensitive, due to the capacitance of the board traces. It's been a long time since I worried about handling a board. Of course the cost and irreplaceability of the board figures into the risk calculation.
410k and health care are fine. I am talking about stuff like legal advice or health hotline. They are promoted as benefit but usually useless once you try to use them.
What you perceive as some weird religious thing is merely the rejection of the completely unfounded axiom that all logistic curves are exponentials if you want them to be.

From the point of view of someone who has rejected this axiom, then the slavish devotion to growth looks like a bizarre cult where the worshippers feed more and more of the very finite resources needed for humans to flourish into a machine that does nothing but bring suffering and enrich a few dozen sociopaths.

Just because a few centre-right statesmen like Biden pay lip service to the idea of not bringing armageddon as quickly as possible while lining their pockets doesn't discredit the century of science, or the very basic mathematical fact that line do not in fact go up indefinitely.

So I did some digging, because my brain was still going "no this is wrong". And seems the Clean Energy Group has the details we all want to see on this. Assuming they are a legitimate source of information; the answer is no it doesn't.

I agree about it sounding like a manic episode a lot.

If I were to put up an opposing opinion -- some caveats here: cluster B disorders and autism both can include lithium (and symptoms not too dissimilar from mania), lamotrigine too on the BPD front. Mood stabilizers are prescribed in combination for a variety of conditions, I feel like it's a rather large jump to make. Also, Moda and a Benzodiazepine are going to do incredible amounts for the dopaminergic system, as well as lowering social punishment-conditioned fear responses. If someone is borderline manic, that could cause a lot of problems.

Pramipexole is a seriously hardcore drug, I'd encourage you to look into it specifically over other dopamine agonists if you haven't already. I survived one day before deciding it wasn't worth it, personally.

Plus, dopamine agonists can screw some things up about you semi-permanently, so that's a risk, too.

It really feels like a grapeshot cannon from her psychiatrist, to be honest. I don't know her specific situation, but some of the rapid-acting antidepressants have good effects (like Ketamine, which operates I believe on D2, among other things).

Just a few thoughts. I dx' people casually from very little data as a weak point myself (did it today, sorta, in retrospect to be honest), so partially this comment is my internal warning systems triggering on an external comment.

Also, I wanted to put a different opinion so HN readers could get a different potential aide.
What kind of anecdotes do you expect in a thread about an article related to long term effects of Covid?

Its like expecting 4chan comments on HN.
Genuine answer: Either tax the stuffings out of everyone, or "money printer go brrrr".
I think some of your experiences can be explained by your citing NPM as representative of FOSS. Not that there's anything wrong with the astonishing breadth of functionality available in the NPM ecosystem, but stability isn't its strongest comparative suit. OTOH, Django, which was cited by the author, just doesn't have that kind of volatility in its base features.
IMO, it's not about this person. It's about the rest of the team and the message you want them to take away. Letting someone go right before they vest will likely create distrust on the rest of the team.

Typically, vesting cliffs are designed to give some breathing room for new hires. If they turn out to be terrible, you can part ways with them without impacting your cap table. If this person had long term performance issues, it's kind of shitty to wait until just before they vest.

I don't know what your company's situation is, but this likely doesn't have to be an "all vesting" or "no vesting" situation. By default, it sounds like you can terminate this employee and provide "no vesting". You can make it clear that you'll be offering them some/most/all of their anticipated vested stock despite you terminating their employment prior to the vesting cliff. This lets you terminate the relationship right now while saving face with the rest of the team.
Randomly came across your comment on this thread and took a few minutes to check out your sandbox env. Could totally see something like this taking off or getting bought out by a bank/Intuit/etc.

I may be a bit biased since I'm huge into personal finance, but hopefully you can target that segment and carve out a solid set of paying customers
