Narcissists (but also many with cluster B disorders) react disproportionately to these events.

For example, if you tell your friend that you are not interested or available for some suggested activity, they may lash out with verbal abuse rather than say “oh ok”. Or they may manipulate you into doing the thing by suggesting that your friendship would be over if you say no, they are considering suicide, etc.

A single event like this may not indicate a disorder but making a pattern of this kind of thing is definitely not normal and is pathological.
It could well be naive A/B testing. "Oh, this configuration has really increased our click-through rates", not realising that it's because people are trying to click on something, and an ad jumps into the space that they're just about to click.

We have a lot of friends / acquaintances in their 60s and 70s, especially women, who live alone. We've surmised they should all start a meal club. As in, none of them like to cook for one, but if they each took one night per week to cook for the "team" it would be easier on all of them. Co-living and/or support networks make a lot of sense for various demographics.
My most prized possessions are the quilts my mother made for us, the jewelry and furniture my father made for us and my grandparents (and I've since inherited) and us. I would rather have those things than all the money in the world. Yes, my parents could have traded in their stuff 30 years ago and invested the money, and handed me a pile of money instead, but I would have lost my soul, my heritage, my history. I'm grateful they didn't, and I hope that the parent commenter doesn't either. I hope the parent commenter keeps making furniture that is meaningful to them and theirs.

There are things worth far more than money.
You are conflating it with sexual harassment and racism. That is OFF TOPIC.

It is very reasonable to put forth in the requirement:

We are looking for a candidate who can get along with the team. The team likes to party and drink and they all tend to be very young. They do a lot of extracurricular activities together after work. Please only apply if you feel you can fit in well.

Are you telling me it's fair to pretend you're all of the above qualities and take the job? Then when the manager tries to fire you for misrepresenting yourself you use the law to protect yourself and make the entire team miserable by staying on the team even though you stick out like a sore thumb?

No, it's not. The above job description is honest and fair game. Let's not take this into other tangents that have to do with racism or sexual harassment. Be reasonable.
To a hammer, everything looks like a nail?
I don't recall or know how much longer. Upon searching for it now, I couldn't find any information. There were vague allusions to months longer or doubling the lifespan, but those didn't cite anything. I'm not sure of the normal lifespan across the different octopus species, but I seem to recall it's generally around just a couple years. Apparently, removing the optic gland was done all the way back in 1977 by Jerome Wodinsky. I thought it was much more recent than that.

Edit: This video has always stuck with me. A single octopus female was observed guarding her eggs for over four years.

The recently redesigned Gmail UI is a good example of this: Chats now show up as minimized icons, and moving the mouse pointer over the icon to click it causes a close button to materialize under the pointer.

Fair enough. But to be fair, the article mentions mushrooms are one of the main ingredients, and I can’t think of a better analogue than that. Even unprocessed, if you took the right species of mushroom, and injected some ‘seafood’ flavor from seaweed, and served it in a half shell, you’d be pretty darn close.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but I don’t see how this is very interesting except to try to pump the ‘stock’ of this company that’s marketing said product.

> I'm going to counter this a bit -- if most of your coworkers want you gone, do you want to work there?

There are two things here, "competent", and "nice to work with". I've met co-workers that are perfectly nice people, I thought they do shit work but I wasn't the one paying them so I didn't really cared if they stayed working. Yeah they are negative for the company but I personally don't care, more than that, working with pleasant people is worth more to me than company being that 0.5% more efficient by not employing them.

That does shit a bit in coop as your share in profit grows when someone bad at the job gets fired.

> I think a more important concern is how does an org ensure that people remain tolerant and accommodating (both in legally required ways and in ways that expand your views and ideas) of people that may not mesh perfectly? I don't think a "divorce" of the org should be frowned upon and I think many orgs ought to codify how they sever to account for the possibility that people don't agree. I don't, however, believe that it's good to avoid conflict and sever every org over every meaningless spat.

My email address is fname.lname@gmail.com and I get dozens of these account signups per year. You'd be surprised at the mobile phone companies, banks, and other accounts which do not require you to verify that an email account is yours before you are able to use that email address for your mobile phone, banking, tax returns, health insurance accounts.

And it's not just limited to not-tech-savvy Americans either: I get Canadians, Australians, Brits, etc. all using my email address as if it were their own. One added 'benefit' from this is that by receiving all of these emails for other FName LName people who mistakenly use my email address it muddies the data that Google sells to Facebook. Having made a Facebook account many years ago that has been dormant for over a decade I was surprised to see upon logging into the Facebook account that "my purchases" at [American chain store] were being used to make recommendations on Facebook. I've never purchased anything that [American chain store] in my life, but I do receive DOZENS of e-receipts for a person in South Carolina who has electronic receipts sent to my email address for $1,000 home goods items. Additionally, the ads that Facebook shows me also conveys that their ad system thinks that I'm a healthcare worker in Australia because I received an Australian healthcare worker's test results / certification to practice as a healthcare worker at my FName.LName@gmail.com email address.

The inconsistency of the UI is ridiculous too.

There's countless examples, but the one that really annoys me every day is when the alarms go off.

I have alarms to wake up in the morning, and on the alarm screen you have to swipe to dismiss, but to snooze you have to tap the other button.

autonomous droid ships like the SpaceX capsule resupplying the ISS. You just modify the capsule so the hatch is the size of the container(s) inside like a cargo plane.

>Another potential factor: left lane highway driving. I drove in a 3rd world country this summer and they were very consistent about driving in the right lane and only passing in the left lane. No one at all drove in the left lane. I think left lane driving in the US leads to more risky maneuvers and road rage responses.

I try to stay in the right lane at all times, but according to truckers it's safer to stay in the left lane, as vehicles merging onto a highway from the right act poorly.
This is nothing personal against Musk. When you look at what he has done since taking over Twitter, it's nothing but chaos. He doesn't seem to have a clue how to run that company. I have liked Twitter, and I hate what he is doing to it.
I'm curious how much of the 4-day workweek movement is driven by religious obligation.

Jews rest on the Sabbath which typically falls on Saturdays, plus high holy days.

Christians rest on the Lord's Day, which falls on Sundays, plus holy days of obligation for Orthodox, Catholic, etc.

Up until now in the Western business world we've standardized on a five-day week which allows Jews and Christians to have their rests, and soccer moms to have their bloody soccer matches.

But with an increasing number of Muslims in the mix, there is a demand from Muslim faithful to rest and pray on Fridays.

Create a four-day work week and now you've got 3 days of rest, 1 for each type of Abrahamic faithful person to go pray.

Muslims already have won major concessions in terms of prayer times and spaces in office buildings, college campuses, etc.

> This resulting in inflation and a weakening of the pound, and with a lower quality of life on average than they would have otherwise.

> When people produce less, then there is obviously less to go around. Will these folks produce as much in 4 days as 5? Maybe, I guess we'll see. Maybe they'll produce MORE. But unless they do, or find something economically productive to do with their extra time, the UK will have less as a result.

Well, these people are pretty much guaranteed to get better quality of life immediately. Will that come at a cost in production? Maybe. But piling on more work hours hasn't worked.

> Will the farmers work less? How about those in the energy sector? Or medicine? Or construction?

I sure hope so. The UK has more farmers than reasonable, working tiny farms, propped up by subsidies. Medicine loses far more to the mistakes caused by overlong working hours than it gains from those hours, and I wouldn't be surprised if energy or construction was the same.
Just to make sure that you get that we're mostly on the same page, I think the current insurance situation is overall insane (see billing and prices as an example).

That being said, this kind of history is absolutely not irrelevant to next steps. It is incredibly relevant since the situation we're in now is a direct consequence of a previous set of heavy handed restrictions introduced by the government.

I lost about 50 pounds in ~3 months simply by cutting my carb intake to about 20g/day (eating just non-starchy vegetables, meats, sugarless dairy). This was moving from an “American” diet overnight to an extremely low carb diet. My caloric intake actually went up slightly.

As for being difficult… yeah. The transition sucked. Body aches, headache, and very slight case of the blues. It took willpower. After about 3 days, I was okay. It was similar to quitting smoking for me, except that quitting smoking didn’t give me body aches.

That's an anecdote (regarding a single market that's known to be an outlier). Meanwhile, my experience squares with GP's. Rents don't have to follow S+D because downturn concessions can be covered by "specials" that effectively lower out-of-pocket costs for renters temporarily while keeping the market rate the same. Essentially, all discounts that would have been reflected in a lower market rate in the past are now internalized on a property manager's balance sheet.

Ask HN: What’s your purpose for an alternative account?
Saw this neat product [1] on the front page of hacker news yesterday.

I spend a significant amount of time browsing hacker news, sometimes commenting, but have never found a compelling enough reason to want to create an alternative account. It’s me, anyways, and an additional account is definitively more maintenance than a single account.

Since it’s pretty popular to do so, obviously, with this tool in existence..

What’s your reason, if any?

It's not so much that we've stopped calling them 4x4 - it's more than the 4WD market has diverged. A 4x4 is designed to get muddy. An SUV is designed to traverse speed bumps & children's bodies with dignity.

You would have to decelerate and then accelerate to dock with each station. It would take more fuel then it would save by a lot. Edit: Alternatively you could accelerate the fuel, but it wouldn't be any better. You also have to worry about getting these stations in orbits that would be useful for the trip. Considering the Earth, Mars, and the stations would all have different orbital velocities around the sun, this wouldn't be an easy task.
> The idea that there is a population-wide 25% productivity boost just lying unnoticed on the sidewalk sounds asinine to me. Strong claims require strong evidence and I don’t see it.

When the UK went on a 3-day week during the '70s, production was 96% of normal.

The idea that people are being actually productive for 40 hours/week sounds pretty absurd to me.
Yes.

I've removed that part of my comment, sorry - the linked experts will explain it better.
I agree that product managers should set the product direction. But my personal anecdote is that they have too much say in what engineers do and when, to the extent that the default answer of engineering teams to everything becomes “talk to pm and they decide when this can go in”.

I think the dynamic that creates this is that the product org becomes responsible for delivering features/products to business stakeholders, and product blames any delays on Eng not being able to deliver on time. So then Eng decides to let product plan everything to a t, such that Eng cannot be blamed if they meet said plan. Which is what motivates my use of the term “code monkeys”…

I feel like engineering should have the freedom and responsibility to entirely own the product delivery. Product managers/owners would still decide what product should be built, and then Eng would take it from there. But I don’t think I have seen this anywhere, and not sure if it would work.
> Seeing that there are more than 10 thousand US people in that database

The census.gov says there are a little under 260 million adults in the united states, and we know obesity is something like approaching 40% of these adults, so 104 million.

10,000 is not even one thousandth of a percentage point of the obese people of the untied states.

For contrast, a disease is considered rare if it occurs 1 in every 1500 people in the united states. A person who un-obesity's themselves into healthy weight is literally a magnitude rarer than this.
No, as previously mentioned, `void` is the singleton type (the same type haskell calls `()`[0], and some other languages call `Unit`). Eg:

void foo(int x) {

It's because they do. The NYT loathes the average American. They get a hard-on when talking about 'deaths of dispair' in 'flyover countries'. Makes sense considering who owns it.
These replacements don't care about the committee per se, but rather reject committee's core goal of preserving backwards compatibility over everything else.

Making it easier to add more features to C++ can't fix the problem of being unable to simplify the language by removing unsafe and legacy features.

If they wanted C++, but only hated the committee process, they'd have forked the language and worked on compiler extensions (like WHATWG bypassed W3C process). But instead they all went for clean slate with some level of interoperability.
> Forcing to be concise in nuanced topics usually does more bad than good.

Following that argument you can't ever build up proper knowledge unless you get a deep introduction into a topic.

> And format of Twitter is abhorrent.

I disagree but you need to write to its format. Just writing a blog post and then splitting it up for cramming as much as possible into a tweet, possibly even breaking within a sentence, yes, that is abhorrent.

> Like, even your comment would need to be split into 2 twits

3 even if you preserve the paragraphs I used.

It's not about reading slow, it's about getting small pieces of information. Tweets usually don't have the fluff that many blog posts do. Or even articles that take up one third of the whole piece to describe a person in a coffee shop, drinking a specific brand of coffee to illustrate some superficial point that has a vague connection to the actual topic of the article.
