At a Cleveland CloudKitchens, operators say they were set up to fail
Oh, I thought this will be about finding job and online dating, where everything is done now online (and with dating at least initially), so your disadvantage of being short, which is not appealing to employers paying tall people higher salaries and women being more attracted to taller men and wanted to mention everything is open again, so the best time was probably 2020-21, but then I found that article is actually about what? Not sure exactly, can someone please tell me why is now the best time to be short, because I couldn't find it in article.

> Now I have twins who are among the smallest in their kindergarten class, but instead of preparing to medicate them because of an antiquated societal bias, I’m going to let them be as they are: tiny. Because short is better, and it is the future.

Yeah, good luck to your kids, they will be fucked for life disadvantaged because of your philosophical selfishness instead providing them better starting point of having (relatively) normal life. I have same neighbor, they went to wrong doctor unwilling to prescribe hormonal therapy and instead finding normal doctor it seems they accepted their kid will be short. I tried to reason with them for the sake of the kid, but it seems they don't care about wellbeing of their kid in dating pool/work market decades ahead. It reminds me of people who have curable disease or disability and they decide not to solve it, imagine being blinds refusing getting eyesight or being deaf refusing implants.

But maybe I am wrong and this idiocracy will continue further with healthiest strongest people being looked down and obese people and other crazy ones promoted as new normal we should look up to.

At almost 200cm I am what most of the people would call tall and I want my kids to be preferably average or higher average, because while being short is pretty bad, being tall and hitting your head and having trouble to find clothes/shoes ain't exactly great either, so I'd be fine with my son not outgrowing me and being only 185-190cm.
What is ZIRP?
In france they often add sheets for 30 euros per bed.

Airbnb doesn't treat the hosts great either... They auto set new listings to auto approve...
You need to break up. With SQL
SQL has engulfed the data world. Can we ever break free?
Yup, I was a bully in high school and when my victim went and complained about it to the math teacher, the teacher went and humiliated him in front of the whole class. Felt good at the time...

"Expressive Type System" without context is just a buzzword. In this particular context, it simply means that Haskell allows for types to be parameterised, which is a different way of saying it allows for generic types.
Can anyone review my options trading P/L calculation algorithm
I've always wondering why Robinhood does not offer Profit/Loss reports on my trading history. Decided to build a Chrome extension for that over the holiday season and found out that options P/L calculation is more complicated than I expected when options events(expiration, exercise, and assignment) are count.

I think I got this working but would love to have some eyes on it from experts :) Please lmk if you are interested!
I don't know what the process in the article is, so I cannot answer that question.

We can conclude the Virent process is not competitive at current prices (or else it would be done more widely.) The more relevant question is would it be cheap enough to work in a world without fossil fuel net CO2 emission. It would have to be cheaper than obtaining the fuel from oil, followed by direct air capture and sequestration of CO2, for zero net emission.
you forgot the most important one: haystack.it!

I would argue that every known noun are the first domains to get registered. My goal is to associate workplace search engines with haystack.

I find that in larger GUI apps the best thing to have is a layered architecture where visual and non-visual parts are separated globally, not on a view-by-view basis. One advantage of this is that you can slice off your visual part and have something like a "headless browser" variant of your app. Among other things this is good for writing integration tests if you also have a backend. Same trick is impossible or very difficult to do with MVVM.
I'll answer you second question first, ham radio crash course is probably the most popular amateur radio you tuber.

I got licensed about a year ago and I'm still having a blast with it. There is the standard ways of communication via radio, voice and continuous wave (morse code). Most modern radios are able to be connected to a computer to communicate with other radios digitally. Digital modes are generally better for low power.

I have a lower end 20 watt radio and I can regularly talk to all of the continental united states, but depending on conditions I have reached South America and eastern Europe.
Airbnb removed my positive review and accused me of being in cahoots with the host to leave positive feedback.

They said they have found an existing relationship between me and the host. Mind you have no social media accounts, this was my first stay at an Airbnb, I'm from USA and this was in Medellin Colombia, I usually stay at Marriott hotels and I only went with Airbnb because the girl I traveled with suggested using it because it was cheaper.

It was awesome place, host was great, so left a fantastic review. It was taken down and I was called a liar. When I asked to speak with someone about why I'm accused of being a liar in my review customer support promised me many times I would get a call back. Never once did I receive a call back from anyone at Airbnb instead I would get an email that they had conducted a thorough review and their position still stands that I am a liar. I'm not sure what thorough means in their mind but since they asked me zero questions or confirmed no information with me directly it's impossible that they conducted any kind of thorough review.

Airbnb is a horrendous company along with all of these gig economy companies. They need to be regulated in the same manner as they're non-gig counterparts are. I can't imagine that any Airbnb executive actually stays at Airbnb places not with the kind of customer service that Airbnb offers.
Airbnb most recently has continued to ignore requests to remove houses that violate the building’s HOA where i live.

People have been turned away when they show up by security as it’s not allowed but the people just try to sneak them in. When reporting this to airbnb they refuse to do anything. I’m getting fairly sick of the laissez faire stances these companies are taking. It’s not just that we don’t want airbnb its that people in this area regularly rent airbnb with false names and rob the apartment and the ones next to it once in the building. Airbnb could care less about our safety though.

It would be nice if the companies could stop hiding behind stupid corporate policies and actually care about people.

Edit: to make things more sad when the building was sold as it’s brand new it was sold as no airbnbs and family only. Several couples moved in because they have been previously robbed in other buildings in the city and in nearby ones all from Airbnb rentals with false names.
Close, dogs.
I omitted out of brevity. But ok, I'll put it in:

>All things considered, for the time, given the paradigms we understood to be effective, and for the value within the design space, C++ was about as close to excellence as we could’ve hoped for. It didn’t replace C, nor was it meant to, but for its purpose it was a great success.

I disagree with this entire statement. It's not even close to excellence even given all the deliberate and intentional qualifiers you put around it.

I believe that when I re-clarify my comment in this context it becomes clear that I am in totality disagreeing with your statement.

I think C++ became popular due to luck in the same way javascript came to dominate the frontend. I believe there could've been a number of possible better alternative outcomes if luck would have been different.
When Adobe markets their product as an alternative to yours, you know you're doing it right.
I think they might have a policy that you can’t review a place that you didn’t stay at.

That policy falls short in instances like this where a guest cannot or will not check in due to issues with the host.

You might also try calling AirBnB again and see if you can convince them to put the review back up.

BTW, $300 cash deposit is absurd. AirBnB already has a security deposit mechanism that the host could use.
Zero interest rate policies :)

Sometimes companies have too much money and they overhire.
Right there. That's the issue we're facing with any extraplanetary excursion. It's not the stuff we know. It's not even the stuff we're aware we don't know.

It's the infamous "unknown unknowns". Stuff we're not even aware we should be aware of. Stuff that will fuck us up in new and interesting ways.

If we ever do make it to colonizing any other planet, the road will be paved with the bones of the dead we sacrificed to find out what we shouldn't have fucked around with.
This is my biggest conversational struggle lately. I can’t seem to figure it out.

I saw a video of an offgrid station that makes hydrogen from solar/water to power farm/work trucks. That seemed pretty green and cost effective in the long run.
People harped on Trump for that (taking a loan to start his businesses) but to be fair many SV types do that.

Excellent article.
CO2 neutrality does not make sense in the context of a timeline. it is a mathematical rate, positive being an increase in the atmospheric reservoir and negative being a decrease in the atmospheric reservoir.

No amount of time producing "nearly neutral" increases to the atmospheric reservoir will produce an improvement in runaway existing CO2 feedback loops.
Comm | engineering | NYC onsite | https://comm.app | https://comm.page

We're a privacy startup based in NYC working on scaling E2E encryption with personal, private servers. Our first application is a federated Discord alternative targeted at crypto communities.

Our biggest needs right now are for an Infrastructure Lead that's very experienced with Rust, as well as a Chief of Staff and a Product Designer.

Infrastructure Lead - Rust - https://jobs.lever.co/comm-app/8008a38a-d616-4f48-8a63-e47c0...

Chief of Staff - https://jobs.lever.co/comm-app/1c388406-d77b-49b5-9f1d-e4703...

Product Designer - https://jobs.lever.co/comm-app/a39daf53-7cf9-4e6d-97ad-e1cfa...

Our stack includes Rust, Nix, React, React Native, gRPC, AWS, and Flowtype.

Comm's long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

I am friends with some local farmers who have a multigenerational farm with a few thousand acres, mostly wheat production. Talking with them, the single fact that surprised me the most is how short the lifespan of a combine is. Those things break all the time, are very difficult to repair, and parts can be insanely expensive, and only reliably last a decade or so.

Another thing is that no one makes equipment for hills and that makes their lives harder.

Another reason they are distrustful of new startups is they need parts and the ability to repair incredibly expensive equipment for about a decade, and often startups don’t last that long.

Macs have never been about highest possible performance at any price point. But there is a niche where people want a very fast computer that is quit and not too ugly (and who can find their apps on macOS).
Unfortunately, the leaderboards are currently dominated by cheaters reporting times of 0.0s. However, once you exclude those then my current rank of #28 actually is #7, which isn't bad at all.
> If you think walking isn’t criminalized in America then go out for a walk in an affluent white neighborhood with 4 black teenage boys and experience it for yourself.

I feel like you answered it yourself in the opposite way. Walking isn't criminalized, the problem is the systemic racism in the US.
OTOH essentially all relevant cryptocurrency exchanges will let you use security keys, most banks will not.
Yup, and their AirCover “insurance” is useless. I had an injury claim denied for no reason.
That's odd. Last night I saw a VRBO commercial saying all of their listing were "rent the while house"
It's hard to completely trust platforms that can massage reviews in this way, but I think that AirBnB can provide the right incentives and policies to avoid most scammy behavior by bad hosts.

AirBnB needs to immediately get rid of all fees for rentals and enforce that there's just 1 base price charged. The price you see on a listing should be the only price ever possibly charged. Between silly cleaning and toilet paper and checkin and other fees, there's too much of an opportunity for scummy people to try and take advantage of people that are tired and desperate after traveling.

Virtually all of the conflicts, scammy behavior, and confusion would be resolved if there was just 1 base price that was ever charged.
Strongly agree. I could see a "hard mode" in which you only get the audio, but I consider the clever use of all available clues (text, video content, appearance of performer) to be part of the game.
If the argument is that the risks of adding an additional access mechanism outweigh the benefits, I would tend to disagree, but I understand the argument. But since the original comment stated "for no reason," I'm confused about what argument is being made.
I haven't used Windows in almost 13 years and I still remember that shitty env var config screen. Wow, this is bringing back memories.
The oceans are our frontiers.

I liked the flavour of the questions given as examples. Asking people about their personal pov and experience relieves them of the duty to be objectively correct and relatively topical to yourself and other listeners. It’s something that analytical speakers often neglect.

In the enterprise, data transit, processing and management architecture is more complex than save this text in the database; just as decent UI and UX is more complex than a text field and input button.

What helps me is:
1. I do at least one press-up a day everyday in the morning. I normally try and do 3 sets of alternate press-ups and squats, followed by 1 minute of plank. This routine is very do-able / easy, but has led to me feeling stronger.

2. I used to do improvisation 2-3 times a week, now I have switched to Bachata/Salsa 2-3 times a week. Socialising with others while moving gives so much to you.

3. I recognise 'prison' thinking - when I'm persecuting myself I realise this and do my best to stop it and send out love to what's on my mind. Forgiveness is the best cure for anger/revenge.

4. I rarely if ever meditate/chant - but once in a while I do this and I feel good about it. Its not for me as my main thing (see point 2 and 3), but I think it can have benefits.

5. Outside of work, I have a passion project

6. I am lucky to have a loving family and girlfriend

7. I find I make nearly all the effort with my "friends". But I only see them once in a while, and actually I don't mind it. And we have a good time when we meet up.

8. I do cut out of my life people who don't respect me as a person / are mean spirited. I have no time for jerks. Good people are always welcome. Seriously I have told some of my friends who invite me to events that I won't go, if a certain person is going as I find them extremely rude and I don't want to put up with their obnoxious behaviour (plenty of people have complained about him - he's extremely snarky and likes to put others down). I actually think its healthy to set boundaries on what I will put up with.

9. I sometimes go off to an art gallery/cinema by myself - life is a journey
Truth and author is also stupid enough to assume tall people can't be funny and they can't put effort into developing their wit and beat everyone at their game - funny short/fat people or good looking tall people.
From this article I learned the term Digital Public Goods
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_public_goods
There is an old joke, how do you know that someone is a vegan or does crossfit? You'll know because they'll make sure you know minutes after meeting them.

In 2008-2011 on HN if someone worked at facebook you knew because they mentioned it so often.

Now you never hear anyone saying they work for Facebook because of all the negative externalities that Facebook and Instagram have had on the world that no one wants to be associated with them.

AirBnB is now in a similar situation.

When tehy first came out you would get lots of positive feedback from people about their service.

now that they allow whole home rentals and people are getting squeezed for living space and rising rents partially due to AirBnb taking those rentals off the market people have a far different opinion of the company.

Couple that with hosts are squeezing people with 100's of dollars in cleaning and other fees that dwarf the nightly rental costs.

Its hard to think of another company outside of Facebook that has blown all their good will so quickly and so completely.

You never hear someone claim to work at AirBnB anymore due to what the company has done to help ruin housing and rental markets.

Charitably I guess you could say that every company falls victim to the saying "You Either Die A Hero Or Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain."
>AP test score transfers credit across the country while being unnecessarily stressful and long courses. community college credits cannot be guaranteed to transfer and have more utility locally or in an adjacent school system, while being shorter semester long courses. Dollar costs are adjacent.

That really changes if you get a degree though and AP classes are not necessarily guaranteed to meet whatever requirements some degree program specifies. Personally I had an AP CompSci class that I scored a 5 on but it counted for absolutely nothing for my CompSci degree yet the classes I took at the local Community College transferred to state college and satisfied their prerequisites. The actual college courses were easier than AP to boot. If you get an AA degree at the community college then you're probably better off transferring to another college with the degree than with AP class credits at least in my experience. I lived in a state that offered free dual enrollment so I was able to cut a bunch of core classes at the high school and get most of an AA at the same time.
>Working directly with the DOM

I think this is the fundamental problem. The data structures you work with are different from the data structures displayed. Almost every framework out there is there to solve this problem in a different way.
> Side effects are inevitable so if you are going to have side effects in a monad, what's the point anyway, one way or another you have side effects.

Imagine a style of programming where everything is assumed to be asynchronous, all the way down to language primitives. Someone who only ever wrote AsyncScript would look at TypeScript, say "Requests are inevitable, you're always going to end up in async/await anyway, so what's the point?"

This is exactly the relationship between imperative and pure-functional programming: the point of having explicit effect monads (or some other tracking system) is that it makes it possible to write code that isn't in them.
Is there any truly rags to riches story? In modern times, at least?

I remember stories about rich individuals who began with absolutely nothing. Many of wealthy today began with seed money, better liquidity, and a network of supporters. Jeff Bezos wasn't rich but he raised a sizable amount of money from friends and family.

The usual:

- Meditation

- Exercise

- Good sleep

- Good diet

- Therapy (when needed).

IMO, I consider meditation the most important. I spend the most amount of my waking time doing meditation. My self introspection is getting better since I'm understanding "myself" more as insight increases. My awareness of my anxieties is more apparent as I practice more. Of course, I do have blind spots, and I realize meditation is not the panacea. But I feel it's helped me the most in the last 5 years.

Do you really believe the racist effect of colonialism would cause this academic to not realize that his own father was producing Arabic script, which he himself is fluent in, on a regular basis?
