Ya know, now that you mention it, there are apparently dongles of some sort (perhaps OBDC? It's been a while...) that give all kinds of extra info, maybe there's something like you mention. It's been a while since I've been over to mynissanleaf.com, perhaps it's time to go pay a visit for a search.

Thanks for the prompting.

Keep in mind that it maybe got too popular for an usable service, but it's far from being popular enough to be financially sustainable product. You're still at this point having a service paid by investors money, like cheap Uber rides in 2015.
Another vote for Linux Mint. Run it on my trusty X220 (main driver), a Fujitsu (mainly for media and browsing), an HP (media + browsing), and my mom's ancient Dell laptop. Works flawlessly, leaves me in control, gets out of my way, and has, for my taste, wonderfully sane and reasonable defaults.

Hats off to the fine people behind Linux Mint.

St Paul's Letter to Tech Support
Yes, I know that. The "big disruption" is that someone committed basic fraud - SBF seemingly took money while promising to act as its custodian, while actually gambling with it behind the scenes. What's the meta issue to be investigated and pondered here? Fraud is one of the oldest crimes. Arrest the fraudster, put them in jail, perhaps recover some assets for the victims, done.

I'm not saying that's a quick process, nor should it be. But congress treating this as some sort of exceptional meta issue simultaneously deemphasizes that SBF appears to be a run of the mill fraudster ("but on the Internet"), while also emphasizing the narrative that "something must be done" (in other words, never let a good crisis go to waste).
Ahh yes, the "I really want the fourth of july, but I can only book X months in advance. So I'll book a week early, and book the 27th of June through the 4th of july weekend. Then i'll wait months, and then pay the $7 fee to change my reservation, and drop the first week from my reservation."

Its very sad how common this is, and makes it very difficult to find spots out west in popular areas. It really doesn't help that my state (Oregon) has almost doubled in population the last 30 years, but added almost no new camping areas since the 70's.

This is why "Precision" is Newspeak in so called Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR). All but a few engineers and conductors for whom trains can be reliability scheduled are on-call as a train is built up to the arbitrary number of 150 cars or whatever. Whenever it's of the "precise" size it goes, unless one of those two are unavailable.

And since no one can predict when a substitute might be needed, it would take many more spare engineers and conductors to cover for those out on a sick day.
This has to be why the railroads are fighting so hard against this apparently trivial benefit, despite the bad optics etc.

> Your link is about folic acid supplements, NOT folate.

It does not matter and this show you know little about the folate cycle. DHFR, the enzyme that metabolizes Folic Acid, also bidirectionally converts DHF and THF (folates).

> Folic acid is shelf-stable pro-vitamin that about 60-70% of the population is able to turn into Vitamin B9.

That would mean 60 to 70% of the population cannot process folate, not just folic acid. When did you even get this number?

> Poor methylators are on a spectrum, from 'not very good methylators' to 'very poor methylators'. I don't really grok biochemistry,

No, you do not grok at all well. You know who does? Me.
You need some small wins. Even video games at first, then something slightly more ambitious, and keep adding on until you feel ready for another big challenge. Every single step is scary so just make it a bunch of smaller steps and it’s easier to go from rock bottom to empowered again

Also: you might need rest before you dive in. But try to make it rest plus some tiny empowering step that you have control over. Eg, making the bed, going to the gym, keeping a room tidy, being on time for things

In a sense, it’s a form of exposure therapy, convincing your subconscious that you are fully able to handle things again, one step at a time

Almost everyone you ever meet who seems lazy is just somebody who lost their empowerment and didn’t find it again. Take it easy on those people, they all feel a little powerless and it’s not pleasant. You might be feeling that same thing right now
This is precisely why I am down on the entire field of "AI safety". Since AGI is not anywhere near around the corner, the results of this field amount to wasting everyone's time at best, or at worst actively hobbling and making potentially transformative technology useless.

Well, it never had a ban on porn as such, did it? Although I'd venture "full of porn" is an exaggeration. Do you have numbers?

Got a source for that? As best I know, they weren't considered a problem by the authorities. Unlike now where they have one (1) moderator (thanks to Musk's firings) for the entirety of Asia (tens of millions of users.)

> it was actually a complete dumpster fire that was doomed to fail in the near future

Their 2020 figures show that, apart from an unfortunately timed $800Mi settlement, they'd have made $580Mi profit. Now that's not a great profit on $5Bi revenue but it's definitely not "a complete dumpster fire that was doomed to fail", is it?

> if not for the timely intervention

Which has added $1Bi a year debt payments. Now that is "a complete dumpster fire that was doomed to fail"...

> You can still choose who you follow on Twitter

The default algorithm shows you what people you follow are most interested in. This does a lot to shape the conversation. You can switch to seeing tweets from people you follow in chronological order, but it typically doesn't show all of them. If you don't interact frequently enough with someone they'll fall out of your feed. It's quite a lot of work to get rid of all the friend suggestions and retweets etc. etc. from other people by using keyword muting; and even when you mute individuals, they still show up with their asinine opinions in your search results. The only way you can be sure of not seeing someone is to block them, and even then you'll still get notifications that there's more content, but it might be blocked.

Blocking is also not that effective of a self-curation tool because the userbase isn't static. Habitual trolls buy farmed accounts for 50 cents a pop and for the price of a hot lunch they can have 25 new accounts to troll people with.

Expensive is relative. If there is an alternative good of cheaper price, then the original good is expensive.

For instance, if a grocer charges $0.10 per plastic bag to the consumer, but $0 to the consumer for paper bags, the consumer is likely to consume the paper bag. That extra $0.10 can then be used to lower the cost of other things because the company's profits are slightly higher. The rebate to the consumer from those paying for plastic is negligible because it's not perceived to be in direct relation to the immediate purchase (the cheaper cost of the paper bag is, however).

What does the consumer do with the extra money? They consume more of the cheaper product which is hopefully more environmentally sustainable.
I've heard hormone therapy can help that. My father in law did it at fifty and he said it made him feel a lot younger.

Like a judge is going to understand that after lawyers spend hours talking about data theft and how they have policies and how the security team had concerns.
You say that as though email is not, in fact, currently an absolute minefield of authentication, peering, trust, spam-guarding, and black-holing policies.

In fact, email is more-or-less the most-used example of how a federated system deals with this: sloppily, one-at-a-time, generating a massive haves-and-have-nots Balkanization.

I can set up my own self-hosted mail server, but without some very careful configuration and planning good luck getting Gmail to forward its output to Google's users.
The real time consuming part of the security process is the conveyor belt, those awful plastic tubs and pulling all the crap out of your pockets and carry on. Followed by the bottle neck of having a single full body scanner. The showing your photo ID step takes a few seconds. So they are going to spend gobs of tax payer money on the one part of the process that takes the least amount of time? What is the the threat justification of this nonsense? Is there any proof that people are increasingly traveling using someone else's ID? This just sounds like the TSA throwing tax payer money at well-connected companies and people in the security-industrial complex. Just refuse.
Beyond typical sleep hygiene I can recommend one practice that I've found to be helpful: Reverse through your day in your head. Go backwards and imagine everything you did that day in as much detail as you care to. Don't linger on any one moment. Usually I will fall asleep before I get to the beginning of the day. An added benefit is that it will increase your awareness of how you show up and how you spend your time.
Are you suggesting the desert part of today’s Egypt wasn’t a desert during the Roman Empire?
I didn't put my email to get the book. I would probably have subscribed, if it was something like "if you enjoyed the content, do subscribe to get more".

Instead, it advertised free, then there is the wall. Like many others, I feel like I've been drawn to a false promise.

I totally understand the author can keep the book behind whatever wall he wants. The title could have been "I wrote a book about ...". And then in the site, "subscribe to get the book".
That statement is inaccurate for many reasons. Employees in India and other countries were offered nothing. The “severance” is really 1 month severance and 2 months garden leave, which is required under WARN and may not be paid if employees get another job. This is a direct contradiction of the terms of the merger.

If you trust Elon to do the right thing for employees after seeing the class action lawsuits at Tesla (and more are on the way for Twitter), I have a bridge to sell you.

Ask HN: Possible fake recruiter sending malware to developers
Hi, I have some rumors of a recruiter sending malware to applicants.

It was reported to me directly that 4 different people from the Brazilian financial sector were approached by a recruiter on Linkedin, I checked up their profile and their profile supposedly works to Grayscale[1][2].

After talking to the recruiter they get a python code assignment, with a zip file. All of them reported that after running this code their machine got slower and they got login attempts on their emails.

A few things:

* At this very moment I have no idea if the recruiter even works for the company and/or if they know it is a malware.
* I'm no infosec expert, but I have the zip file with me, was able to recreate on a VM the malicious behavior.

Question:

* Anyone here has contact with Grayscale Investments[1][2] to confirm this is their real recruiter?

FWIW, plenty of "true hackers" observed the same data points and concluded that the cyber-utopia envisioned in the '90s is a pipe dream and deserves to be dead and buried.

A lot has happened in the past couple decades as society has tilted around into the information age. Some assumptions have undergone rigorous testing. Some deserved to be discarded. I don't think anyone has the One True Approach yet, but freedom-of-speech idealism proved wanting as a strategy.
If you read the indictment, they also had McFarland dead-to-rights: two investors and an employee cooperated to demonstrate specific instances where McFarland knowingly misrepresented basic facts, including forged ScottTrade statements, to get investment for the festival.
Thanks for the note about my father.

But I want to show you how ridiculous it is for them to say that folic acid reduces the toxicity of PEMETREXED.

The side effect of the drug is because it inhibits the folate cycle, which is why it stops cancer. So they want to give folate to someone who’s taking an anti-folate medication? Every oncologist I ask about this cannot give me a straight answer.

The drug inhibit DHFR. When you take full late, you need the HFR to metabolize the folate. It’s just ridiculous and doctors have no understanding of basic nutritional biology. They were never taught in schools and they don’t care about it.

Pemetrexed is chemically similar to folic acid and is in the class of chemotherapy drugs called folate antimetabolites. It works by inhibiting three enzymes used in purine and pyrimidine synthesis—thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase[16][17] (GARFT). By inhibiting the formation of precursor purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, pemetrexed prevents the formation of DNA and RNA, which are required for the growth and survival of both normal cells and cancer cells.
I think Brexit was much more about 'let's leave the EU and go back to collecting bureaucratic rents instead of letting them go to Brussels.'
Cloud pricing is insane, we are handling around 3 billion dynamic requests a month and serving 100+ TBs of static content a month for a few hundred euros, all rented/dedicated servers, with zero problems. So we would pay like 10-100x times more in the cloud for the same hardware and traffic.

One note on that sourcing: I would not generally find Deseret News (i.e. Mormon cultural-industrial-habits-porn outlet) a credible source in this context.

I also design productivity systems as part of my job, and found that watching TikTok in the laziest way possible can be an outstanding part of such a system.

We are long past the Horatio Alger bootstrapping days where we condemn procrastination and laziness out of hand. And yet Chinese government culture continues to try to speak with that always-on productivity-porn voice--fine, let them do it, see how it works out. They love to wax poetic about theoretical human machinery without giving attention to a reasonable duty cycle concept.

And keep in mind that they are simultaneously blocking a lot of that E-word they hate: Expression.

We now have much more deep, nuanced experience with productivity that exists and outperforms outside of that context.

IMO TikTok is better feared (if that's the lens) for the more rational, non-propagandistic reasons.

For not fully featured 3D editors (which takes so much work, I won't even get started), I think the trick would be to bundle it with something that uses the output and that part generates the revenue. Roblox is a great example of that.
If you want it in the style on one book, you can probably prompt it to do so. The current answer does fit the prompt pretty well.
It's possible that the person you were replying to is making a joke playing on the general lack of familiarity with manual transmissions in the US, as opposed to making a statement of literal fact that manual transmission cars are hard to steal.

When I originally posted this list, I provided a link to every one of these fonts. Hacker News "shadow-banned" it without simply telling me that it was flagged, so I spent the time rounding up all the links and creating the list for nothing.

Why do more people not call out Hacker News for its disgraceful treatment of users and deliberate wasting their time? There's no excuse for it. Look at the way they allow you to type out a lengthy question or comment and THEN say, "OH NO, you're posting too fast. Piss off." Instead of simply DISABLING THE REPLY BUTTON.
