On pressure cookers: in general they are the most helpful for taking a recipe that you would simmer/braise for many hours and shortening the time. If your meat is coming out dry, you may have cooked too long, but more likely it's the wrong cut - stews can work really well.

Other things: it will make a really decent stock in less than an hour. It can do wonders with dry beans. If you want to try again, these guys are mostly pretty reliable as a starting point: https://www.seriouseats.com/pressure-cooker-recipes.

> For this to be possible, wouldn’t they need to have a valid DV cert impersonating Google?

For it to be possible without Google's cooperation, they would. But Google does cooperate: their Web servers listen on two sets of IP addresses. The real DNS entries for www.google.com point to the first set, and for forcesafesearch.google.com to the second set. Cloudflare is spoofing DNS responses for www.google.com to point at forcesafesearch.google.com instead. When you connect to Google via the latter, it forces SafeSearch on for all traffic over that connection. Google documents this at https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669?hl=en
This is backwards. Developing for the web has become a de facto standard because it's the only thing that's universally available. It's the best you've got.

If you want a good universal app platform, we should go all the way back to having something like the JVM as the standard. Or just like, browserless WASM, if we're thinking incrementally.
probably, but the hard bit of doing that is needing the p2p overlay network to provide connectivity - eg Pinecone is what we use for P2P Matrix (see https://arewep2pyet.com)

No relationship ends successfully, nothing wrong with spending 3-5 years at an org, learning what you can, then moving on.

Knowing this, maybe it’s worth resetting your goals at the next role to take i to account how this cycle tends to go. Set “end” criteria for when you should move on and reevaluate those goals regularly.

It's easy to blend in when confidence and signaling are the driving forces of valuations, hiring, funding, etc. You can fake it until you make it if you don't break the law too much and you make it to success (Uber's IPO, Tesla's ongoing financial stability and having reached escape velocity). You cannot if you end up not making it, or your break the law too much. Sequoia (supposedly sophisticated investment managers) got snowed for $210M with FTX, Softback lost somewhere between $10B and $20B on WeWork, not a great sign!

I believe the fundamental answer is breadth. Breadth in formats, in storage methods, the more the merrier. Analog, digital, physical, the more different ways we have something archived, the more likely it is that the future will be able to access it. Archive video in every major video codec and at least one analog tape format as well. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of preservation, let it be but one tool. Especially with video, it’d be better to have the only usable copy of a work in 500 years be an analog tape, than only having digital formats available that may or may not be decodeable. There is no perfect answer, because it may very well be possible that there are also no working VTRs at that time, but with multiple formats you have multiple ways to access the content

I work on a niche eCommerce app (https://www.bestsellerapp.net) that I only sell in Colombia for now.

Is mostly about making orders/invoices for small companies.

A LOT of people are like me that work in this space that you never heard of. Doing the "same" kind of apps that have a bigger brand but because we serve locally can do a better job there.

Other option is open source. I think https://tablam.org could become an Access/excel option for my customers for the same reasons.

Open source itself is not very profitable (heck, I love to work more on TablaM than my ecommerce app but that one is what bring food).
You are describing a time period that spans about 50-70 years, in which alarmism led to some outcomes (or actions which coincided with positive outcomes). This reactive type of fear -> public pressure -> change politics is not the historical norm. And still, mankind did not die off before "science advisors" became a thing.

Wielding fear as a political tool can only end in ruin of the free political system - ultimately, there is no qualitative difference between invoking fear of climate change or fear of immigrants, it creates a split in the populus: those who will subscribe to the panic, and those who think the panikers are irrational. Such splits, we have seen in the past, will lead to political divides, and ultimately, if civil society cannot mend them, to civil-war-style uprising and the end of free societies. We are seeing this all around the world right now, but most prominently in the US and the UK.

At the same time: once fear has been normalised, people will buy into snake oil, like arming themselves, or a massive upbuilt of CCTVs until privacy is gone, or accepting the TSA as a necessary evil, or submitting themselves to curfews, or abandoning social contacts because travelling cross-country to their loved ones is ecologically unsound. A fearful society is a society that falls prey to anyone who promises them safety - and those rarely stay democratic leaders.

We would do good not to consider "scientists" as the high-priests of a new religion with a infallible dogma: "The science says X" is a religious statement of belief, when science should be "we have this theory, this is the data that supports it, but we may be wrong". Whenever I do see scientists in the media today, they do no longer seem to see themselves as explorers of knowledge or professional doubters, they see themselves as the ultimate beacon of truth. That is dangerous, it leads to arrogance both in them as well in the part of the populus that agrees with them. As a reaction to that, it is no wonder anti-science sentiments rises.

> and yet so many people refuse to do so for ideology, religion or out of simple foolishness and arrogance.

Seems I'm not alone here based on other comments, so honest question for people who consider themselves good at cooking and also like slow cookers / pressure cookers: what are you making in them that you think is actually good? I gave away my crockpot years ago and am going to do the same with my instapot because everything I have tried except chilis and stews comes out extremely "meh" and definitely inferior to traditional cooking. For chilis and stews, all I'm really saving is some time since cooking on the stove still works just fine.
Hustle culture, moving fast, breaking things etc are all fine and dandy when you are a new startup and trying to find your niche. But after you get something going and there are many people using your product/service, if you keep moving fast and breaking things, those users will go away.

Twitter users can be more tolerant of some amount of disruption because the service is basically 'cost-free banter among the community'. But if you are doing anything that people depend on, you will kill your business and reputation.

Look at Google. They didn't even 'move fast and break things'. They just 'deprecated' stuff on people's face when a product did not make billions fast enough.

>The reason why video games don't turn people violent is because video game violence maps poorly onto the real thing

I don't believe this is the reason. By practicing martial arts which maps well to real life violence I do not see an increase of violent behaviour. Similarly playing FPS games in VR which maps much closer that flat screen games does not make me want to go shoot people in real life. I don't think people playing paintball or airsoft will turn violent from partaking in those activities. The majority of people are just normal people are not bad people who would ever shoot someone or rape someone.

>You know what is that sexy in real life? Sex.

Why is any porn legal then? If porn turned everyone into sexual abusers I would believe your argument, but that just isn't true. If it were true that a small percentage of people who see porn will turn into sexual abusers I don't think that makes it worth banning porn altogether. I feel there should be a better way that doesn't restrict people's freedom of speech.
Show HN: Have fun betting virtual (not real) money on predictions from HN users
I wanted to see how difficult it would be to build a web app using a sub-$300 android smartphone. Decided to build a fun predictions website where you could bet virtual (not real) money on predictions made by others, and also make predictions of your own.

Building it turned out to be considerably easier and more fun than I anticipated.

Primary tools used were:

# QuickEdit as the mobile code editor (Note: the free version of the QuickEdit app is riddled with ads, it shows an advert each time you close a tab, but it unfortunately had the best UI of the 3 or so Android code editors I tested. Ended up using NetGuard to block it from retrieving & displaying ads),

# PHP for the Backend ( custom PHP microframework I've used and built on over the past few years ).

# jQuery for the frontend js (cringing) - it appears I'm simply too lazy to learn React/Vue/et al. Every once in a while, I pick one of them to learn, but I always end up returning to jQuery - or time-permitting - amateur level vanilla JS.

# Bootstrap for the CSS - Battle-tested. For a purely backend dev with minimal design skills, good ol' Bootstrap (and in a growing number of cases, Tailwind) is always a life saver.

# Whole thing is hosted on 2 VMs (1 hosting the web app, and 1 hosting Redis & MySQL).

# As to the site itself, it turned out to be pretty cool to play around with. Go there, view the predictions, bet on the predictions you believe will come true, or against the ones you think will not. You get $50,000 to bet with (not real money). No signup is required to bet, but a quick signup is required to make a prediction. Hope you guys like it, and please be ruthless in telling me of any bugs you've found.

So go on here => kudotap.com

And Have Fun!

I don't buy the more elaborate version of "petrodollar" theories myself, but your first link says "Global liquids demand declined in October to 99.6 MMb/d". That's per day, not per month, so at $80/barrel it would be about $2.9 trillion per year in global oil sales.
Here’s why it’s interesting to me.

Forget about cryptocurrencies, we probably feel the same way about all that.

If you want to run a database to store whatever, the person/entity running the database has superpowers: they can alter the data, take down the whole thing, etc.

Blockchain is a database where no single person/entity has privileged access.

That’s it. As a distributed system person this is cool. Everyone else might shrug. I’m ok with that.

This is a new paradigm and opens new possibilities. Remains to be seen what we do with it.

Sorry! It's my fault—a 'refactoring' that broke existing behavior. I've got a fix and it should be deployed in about an hour.

Edit: should be fixed now
What is most overlooked about behaviorism, here and elsewhere, is what Skinner called the generic nature of stimulus and response. Reinforcement acts not on behavior directly, but rather shapes the meaning of the stimuli that engender behavior in the future. A dog responds less vocally to acute physical pain than people because such behavior in a dog is less often reinforced- ie, different contingencies of reinforcement.

Generic thus describes how new meanings and new behaviors are carved out of the world we engage with
Gold and silver coins are something that can be easily stolen. Those who are not banked are targets, for the cash hidden in their mattress.
I doubt that. But hey, if you're so knowledgeable, then you'd realize that the systems do in fact support taxation and make auditing for compliance with any goals far easier.

Technology empowers individuals and smaller communities. That's what it does throughout history. Personal computers. Personal printers. VOIP instead of $3 a minute phone calls. The Web instead of gatekeepers at radio, TV, magazines, newspapers, etc.

In all of those cases, you would probably say "the real vendors don't want the Internet anyway". Who needs email when there are phonecalls? Who needs the Web anyway when there is email? Who needs online dating sites when there are matchmakers?

Nathan Myrhvold at Microsoft told people at Excite that "search is not a business".

FWIW, you're not the only one. On our product, we experimented adding login when the user tries to use any of our tools and something like ~60-70% of users dropped off. So essentially, whoever implements that is killing their user funnel at the very beginning which I'm guessing will have larger effects down the road (fewer users experience "magical moments" which leads to less word-of-mouth, etc).

On the flip side though, I'm sure it may help metrics in the short term especially since it's expensive to offer a service like this (which requires expensive GPU servers).

I think sometimes people take too much for granted and can overthink thanksgiving. Just having the means to read this site means you probably have hundreds of things to be grateful for, like the ability to read and the leisure time to do so. But maybe that perspective comes from practicing gratitude daily rather than only once a year (not shading the holiday, it is great to also dedicate a special day).

More relevant to the article, several of these things seem calibrated to cause division and strife at the thanksgiving dinner table. Sometimes being the drama can be fun, and I think the following would Do the trick:

> That electric leaf blowers now exist and perhaps we can develop a new understanding that it’s chill to not spew intermittent pitch-shifting mechanical shrieking sounds at deafening volumes all the time everywhere?

> That ghosts don’t exist, which wasn’t obvious a thousand years ago.
If you’re part of party A and worried that party B is getting votes from people you previously counted among your supporters due to UBI the only rational thing to do is also support UBI. Because even if you’re a fiscal conservative surely having UBI and an otherwise tight fiscal policy is better than UBI and a loose one, right?

It’s crazy that politics seems completely unable to adapt to the will of the people changing over time.

It think about this a lot with the Republican party in the US. If the Republicans did a 180 on a few key social issues they would be able to win easily with a margin that Democrats couldn’t easily close the gap on.

A fascinating read, and it touches on many, many aspects of WWII PoW camp life as described by Eric Williams [1] in The Tunnel, which is contemplative and introspective, in contrast to the heroic and dramatic tone of The Wooden Horse, to which it is the prequel. (A film [2] of The Wooden Horse was made in the 1950s.)

I first read The Tunnel at age 11, and have read it at least once a year since. I've gone through so many copies; they just fell apart because of the heavy use. I have no idea why I find the book so compelling; perhaps just the wonderfully observed details of everyday life in captivity, and the skill of the author in portraying the characters with real depth and humanity.

A brief check online suggests that The Tunnel is still available in print, but it's also available online [3].
