Lived in Sweden (Malmo) during the Syrian refugee crisis. Watched in horror as my Swedish friends swung from refugee-welcoming to authoritarian "Nej!" in just 6 months.

Why? The rent doubled, the buses were full, taxes increased and crime sky-rocketed as immigrants who didn't have enough to eat crowded on to Sweden's generous social benefits scheme. The swedes, with a proud tradition of construction unions, heritage planning and social consensus didn't have the ability to reach an agreement on how to feed and house so many immigrants so quickly. This led to the migrants literally building a shanty town around the Malmo benefits office, instead of being allowed to build homes for themselves, as the EU refused to support the lone member state that did the right thing.

Proportionally, this influx would be like 5 million people arriving and applying for asylum in the US in a single year. [1]

As I witnessed these kind and tolerant people transform into the racist bigots this lady encountered, I think things would have very been different if the planet had treated the 2015 refugee crisis as a common problem, and not dumped it all on Sweden.

No, there is no excuse for racism, or for the lack of action in this case. But there are forces that provoke it, and every country that didn't take in a proportionate number of refugees during this crisis shares the blame for the social mess that Sweden is in today.

Ah yes, so sad. I'd only watched two or three of his stealth camping episodes, enjoyed it, and then a few days days later that video pops up on my YouTube homepage...
Yes seems likely related. The Rus' people are believed to have originated in present day Sweden. Does not feel impossible that there were trade routes connecting Greenland to Kyiv theough Scandinavia.
There is an old saying: Reality has a liberal bias.

Case in point: The last time I looked at the conservative news was a few weeks ago. They were making a big deal about some lawsuit one of the states was bringing against the Biden administration. The administration allegedly censored news outlets, starting early 2020. The lawsuit even provides a specific example from October 2020, and names Biden specifically as the defendant.

Reputable news agencies mostly ignored these allegations because they are complete nonsense: Biden wasn't president when the incidents occurred, so his administration could not have been responsible!
If I use Antennapod, is there any reason to check this out?
Someone in Southern California needs to figure out how to get rid of the recent explosion in Asian tiger mosquitos that have invaded the region.

It’s crazy how fast it’s happened.

Once the mosquitos start spreading one of the many terrible diseases they can carry the government officials will finally act, after it’s too late to save the first victims of an avoidable problem.

Horrible quality of life issue that should be fixable if the government officials can get their act together soon!
You really think we can accurately determine people's paths by age 12?? It's more likely the determination ends up as a proxy for whose parents were rich enough to [stay at home to / pay for someone to] train their kids to get onto the college track.
Maybe not exactly nostalgia, but there is a term that serves: déjà vu

"The meaning of DÉJÀ VU is the illusion of remembering scenes and events when experienced for the first time." [1]

So far Gandi was posted as reliable company and over last 10 years I had no issues with them. One good feature is that you dont have to be owner to renew domain name registered with them. So in case you temporary lose access to your account you can still pay for domains. They also allow to keep credit balance for auto renew.

I really didnt have much of issues to talk about so no idea how good is their support at solving them, but at least I have peace of mind when it comes to renewal.
EFF is mostly funded by Google and co, and mostly advocates for policies such that they do not hurt Google and co.

This involves advocating for good things, like opposing the FBI lead mandatory encryption backdoor. And... the opposite.
The hospitals and doctors transplanting the organs in make a lot of money. Those harvesting the organs do not.

At least if it's aboveboard and in the US. Getting Steve Jobs an off the books pancreas would obviously have been exceedingly profitable. And I cannot speak to what happens in other countries.

But in general, the biggest cost is from the hospital stay for the recipient (the actual majority of it), followed by the surgery transplanting the organ itself. And, usually, the next cost will be transporting the organ, not acquiring it.
They...get older? Dieter Rams and Jony Ive both designed well into...at least their 50s.
Bunch of his jokes has the audience laugh, then pause, then laugh even louder due to the layers within one joke. He was really great. (Though there are some live recordings where he bombs really bad with the same jokes. Drugs i suppose.)
> She also noted that when you search on these terms the main engines (all run by cloud service providers) return poor results not congruent with the scale of the phenomenon. They are dominated by the opposite message obviously heavily SEO'd up to the top, plus shill pieces pushing cloud services but presented as "critical". Dig deep if you want to find the real scale of the "anti-cloud" issues.

That's the case for a lot of different things, ranging from tech to politics to pretty much anything, and doubly so if people are selling something or otherwise have a strong interest in pushing something. It's just so much easier to extol the virtues of something rather than point out the problems with something, especially when the problems are not obvious from "common sense" at a glance.

"Searching for something" is often a very biased way of finding out about many things; it's not intentional, it's just that the "pro" and "anti" camps have vastly different levels of commitment to their cause, and you often need a lot of knowledge of context and nuances to make a fair judgement; any hack can say "X is brilliant!" but it's much harder to say "well, X is good in some cases, but [..]"

This specific study used samples of fabric rubbed in the skin oils of various people and then indexed which fabrics attracted the most mosquitos, most reliably, so while it may not be a guarantee that all mosquitos feed at the site they're most attracted to, I wouldn't think it's quite that big a leap... I imagine that they feed at the first known-good-human, generally speaking.

They also specifically call out that there are "low attractor" humans who simply don't generate as much of the carboxylic acid compounds that the mosquitos were attracted to, and who may still be bitten, but were not he preference.

People definitely react different to bites, though. I know plenty of people who don't really feel much of an itch, vs others for whom it's awful.
The problem was Brexit, or more specifically it going ahead on 51% of the vote without any plan. I couldn't find a more blatant act of economic self-sabotage if I tried.
What you're spending is irrelevant.

Read the tax codes of the countries you visit, and most likely you'll see that you owe that country tax for the work "arising from that country". Check with the lawyer from that country and most likely you'll see that "arising from that country" includes sitting with laptop in hotel and working.

Due to double taxation treaties most likely you'll end up paying the same amount of tax plus hassle/expenses for filing return in the visited country and for getting the foreign tax deducted from the tax of country of your residence.

And of course visited country has very little means to measure your earnings and collect tax from you.
Not only are the two teams of doctors likely different, and the hospitals where they are operating different, but in the US a bureaucracy determines who gets the organ based on need. It's not up to any doctor involved. So the odds that the two doctors who are involved will ever know each other, let alone one doctor knowing both patients, seems microscopic.
It's quite a question as how a team of very talented developers can keep on going with such little donation.

$87.5k in 2022?

That doesn't even pay for a single person after taking the rest of the expenses into account.

Do they all have other jobs and using their spare time to devote to such a serious project?
No one stole anything from you. An online service you are not continuously paying for is not a service where you are the customer.
In the paper, they’re counting mosquitoes that fly into a chamber containing odor collected from skin. They calibrated that against people sticking their arms in a mosquito box and counting bites as they happened. So bite response shouldn’t affect the result.
It also costs a lot of money. So many people love to complain about the news but refuse to pay a dollar a day for it
I stumbled upon some cave exploring video where a guy got stuck and died as they could not get him out in time; think he was there for a few days before dying.

Edit; found [0] ; 28 hours it was.

Cave exploring is my worst nightmare (I am claustrophobic) but actually seeing videos of people enjoying that and saying ‘now I cannot move my arms and I only can wriggle part of a inch forward or backward at a time’ [1] while smiling is just the stuff of nightmares to me (this guy does many narrow cave videos that trigger angst in me).

There is a multinode BBS running on a Raspberry Pi in the corner of my room. I have a couple of externally facing web servers too that have "Das Blinken Lights", but those are mostly for my own use.
I am not saying they are going to fail but claiming to drill farther than ever before (which was an outrageously expensive research project) and do that at controlled prices is an extraordinary claim. So my hope is they can show it can be done at any price. Then surely it will create a path for this to become economically viable eventually.
Thanks for the explanation! Shows that some knowledge in digital photography doesn't translate into other domains taking pictures.

Comments like yours are what I love about HN!
Most commonly accepted theory is that it was through the fusion of Viking elite + local Slavic tribes which led to the formation of the identity of the Rus, a people who would be the civilisational ancestors of modern Ukrainiains, Belorussians and Russians.

AFAIK, this narrative is broadly accepted by all of these modern peoples
That's not even true on devices that use slow flash storage, much less network mounted file systems.

These assumptions tell a lot about why Linux so horribly falls apart when something like NFS lags a bit though.
Monome – sound machines for the exploration of time and space
Quoting Polybius, quoted in the article:

the soundest education and training for a life of active politics is the study of history, and that the surest and indeed the only method of learning how to bear bravely the vicissitudes of fortune is to recall the calamities of others.
Thank you. You said it wonderfully. It becomes absurd to see privileged people with all sorts of opportunities and economic support hectoring others because they (for some reason that obviously has nothing at all whatsoever to do with not being so cushioned) just pick up a job that's less than perfect, but do it for decades because they need to find a way to make a living, pay the bills, support family and in the lapses between tedious work, still find some way to generate a bit of personal happiness in some detail or another of their less than perfect lives.

For those of you living in your bubbles of trouble-free personal fulfillment, welcome to the real world for a vast majority of the world's population. The people that handle your menial needs don't always do so out of pure love of the job, but yes, they still find some imperfect avenues for happiness in life. There's nothing innately wrong with that either.
I'm not an expert but I believe it boils down to something connecting to the DB within a week, which seems do-able once things are running and maybe a tiny hassle during initial dev if it's a weekend hobby project.
Screenless smartphones could totally be viable as a product, especially for visually impaired folks.

The problem is only one: PROPRIETARY APPLICATIONS

Could you write a custom and simplified Facebook Messenger client that would allow clear and complete navigation through hardware buttons or vocal commands? Abso-fucking-lutely!

Can you do it without Facebook's approval which will never come? Abso-fucking-lutely not!
And then there is the annoying interference. Sometimes, my AirPods would constantly drop out during a video meeting, until I switched off my Magic Keyboard/Trackpad. Or in some environments, the sculpt would only work reliably if I put the dongle on a USB dock or cable right next to the keyboard.

I hate Bluetooth.

Luckily the base 360 is wired. Though no QMK (and obviously no ZMK), though smartset is pretty ok to. Especially now that they have more than two layers, would love it if they backported that to the Advantage 2.
Silly question: how much continuous power transfer has been reliably demonstrated today with a 1MW millimeter-wave source through a 20km waveguide for more than an hour?
I'm very skeptical of these results: The sample size is much too small!

They started with only 64 individuals. Of those only ONE was found to be especially attractive to mosquitoes, and only TWO especially unattractive. They then used the scents from these three individuals, and 5 others who did not participate in the initial testing, for the following phases of research.

Also, of the 5 additional people, two were found to be especially attractive, and one unattractive. This is extremely inconsistent with the results from the first phase.

Now, they did a ton of work and show very interesting results. But these problems make all of their results very questionable in my mind.

Yes, followup research could shine more light on this to validate their results (or not), but I wish they would make less grand declarations about the meaningfulness of their results. I bet this is going to make the news around the world... and if it later turns out to be inaccurate, it's only going to further reduce the public's trust in science.
thinking the same!
Sounds reasonable but misses the mark, sorry. Once you become a manager you rapidly lose hands on skills. The big picture never goes away, but the details go pretty quick. If you don’t use, you do lose it.

The (publicly funded) BBC is plenty critical of the British government. The same is true of ARD in Germany.

> Tailwind stylesheets are always going to be much smaller than normal CSS for any decently-sized app.

Instead the HTML content grows larger because of the long class= attributes. It is a bad tradeoff, because CSS gets loaded once and cached, but HTML gets loaded on every page load.
It is weakening somewhat. The sheer volume of papers that pass in high impact journals, and then are later pulled after X years with minor repercussions, seems at least to me to be an alarming trend. That, paired with the cronyism I've personally witnessed between editors and professors... as someone entrenched in the field, I have to say, I'm surprised more people aren't jaded.
You can theoretically send email to an IP address directly, like someone@[127.0.0.1], but I imagine a lot of the programs and websites you'd want to use don't know that. And you're still left with the problem of needing to get that IP address from someone who can arbitrarily take it away from you.
It's more like folk who enjoy the craft run off and join the big tech companies in my experience.

You can work in a skyscraper, and not find a single one.

Off you go to the other skyscraper. There's a whole bunch.
> All the other issues you’re referencing are discussed ad nauseam here all the time.

Ye, critized by the average HNer, yes. I agree with that.

Usually not on a "national security" basis though, which makes the concern about TikTok a trigger for me since I am not American. And usually countries that ban Facebook are mocked for being paranoid or against free speech.

I meant hypocrisy in the "mainstream establishment", not among privacy conscious tech people. HN has swung significantly on the matter in the last years.
There are edge cases where a personal reference is valuable. If you’re inexperienced, it can get you an interview. Or it can get you a job at a small company without a real HR department.

But outside of that, a hiring decision made based on a personal relationship is considered cronyism. It isn’t always illegal, but most HR departments go out of their way to prevent it.

“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is terrible career advice in general. It can be incredibly seductive because it promises people an advantage over competition. But it’s wrong. It’s a waste of time and in my experience, the people who follow it tend to interview poorly because they come off as arrogant and complacent.
It could take me more to buy domain, transfer it to Cloudflare, set up DNS records, spin up VPS, set up the server, create project in IDE, create github repo and clone it on the server. All of this before I even write thr first line of code.
Kudos to the author but I got the impression that they equate "learning to program" with "learning syntax" which, I think, is a mistake. I've noticed the article talks a lot about things like "print", "goto", dereferencing, enums, but nothing about algorithms, data structures, architecture, patterns, how to properly structure your code. That is, the author learned how to make small one-off utilities but there's no mention if they went beyond that. I program since childhood and I'd say I'm still learning how to program because there's so much more to it than just finishing a few crash courses and making your Rust program finally compile.
Iirc Reuters sells a subscription
Honestly? It’s usually just for fun and a learning experience. When I first built Sendfly in 2017 I had a need for it, didn’t see any options I liked, and built it in a weekend. This time around I’m learning Elixir/Phoenix and re-wrote Sendfly as a learning experience. I’m going to run it anyways so why not share it with the word and see who else finds it useful?

Any of my limited success in life has come from my willingness to build things that already exist. The fact that competitors exist is a good thing; it means there’s already a market for the product. You just need to capture a small slice of an existing market to make a bit of money.
Wow. That's a new take on the old trope "if you aren't paying you aren't the customer".

It's obviously untrue. For many services the marginal cost of supporting a paid user on an ongoing basis approaches zero.

I'd imagine this is one. They presumably store some subscription and profile data and that's about it.
> This is a matter that affects every citizen in this country, and the experts lost their credibility a couple of years ago at least.

I don't agree. What we did see is ignorance and completely absurd conspiracy theories taking the center stage while experts were being sidelined or even completely removed from the discussion.
The point of Tailwind is that it curates the useful subset of CSS into a nice DSL. Not unlike Typescript and type systems. I'll learn about any of the stuff that makes its way into Tailwind release notes and Tailwind docs. Anything else about CSS I will happily never learn about.

This is why people could say "Don't learn CSS, just learn Tailwind". Tailwind is the only decent way to use and to learn CSS.
Couldn't get a much better summary than that, aye aye captain!

It is, but don't expecting people understand what komali@13.55.66.77 is a perfectly valid address, nor the anti-spam systems or designers of web/mail apps and services.
Scramble for shade: Why cities aren’t planting more trees
There's a kernel of truth.

My life is VASTLY better, because my profession I do 9-5 is something I dearly, dearly, love.

I'd read it as:

"Find something to work in that you love. Or Else."
I'm 75. You will pull the keyboard out of my cold, dead hands.

"Nobody knows you are a dog on the internet" Ditto being aged ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_...

Most of the technologies I play with - HTML5, webGL, Three.js etc - did not exist ten years ago. So it's a level playing field.

There's more open source stuff on GitHub that needs help and mentoring than you can shake a keyboard, er, stick at.

My digital afterlife is destined to be a thought-leader for generations to come. Fingers crossed.

As I started to understand that I am a designer, I came to realize that my own life is open to being designed. Day in and day out.

It turns out that that my design of my own life is one of my better efforts. ;-)

People with radically different life experiences tend to be interesting. Traveling, by definition, makes you more likely to run into those kind of people.

My last trip took me to Georgia. As someone that immigrated from Russia as a child, meeting Russians that are debating a similar decision today was eye opening - they have the same hopes, dreams and fears that we had 20 years ago. In the US, I’ve never felt understood in that respect.

This is one of many. I can’t imagine my life without those experiences.
The issue with forms is twofold.

The first is the UI - the design, logic, etc. Any reasonable form builder will give you this.

The bigger issue is the deliverability aspect. This to me is the killer. Having to setup all the stuff around email deliverability is a horror - SPF, DKIM, DMARC - then monitor. It's awful, and it's especially awful if you're doing it on behalf of multiple clients.
If you want something more explicit than "whatever is not prohibited is implicitly allowed", a search phrase that'll get you there is "work without parental consent". If you Google that, you'll immediately find examples in agriculture, Texas, etc.
Matt's Script Archive was a great source of inspiration when I was writing Perl CGI scripts, back in the day.

So much terrible code, and security holes, but still the name gives me a nostalgic feeling rather than the memories of all the times things failed horribly!
