I agree with you, but have a few qualifiers about it.

I decided I want to lose weight for the third time in my life. A few weeks I was probably eating 5,000 calories a day. I’ve lost 15 pounds in three weeks. Basically before every day I’d eat and eat and never ever feel full. My stomach would hurt, I’d throw up every day, I felt tired and shitty every single day.

Now I can barely managed to eat 1400 calories a day. I’m eating red meat and kimchi, basically. That’s my diet. Once a week I’ll crave a nice big salad with mushrooms and olives and ranch dressing. I feel great. If I try to exceed that calorie amount I’ll feel super satiated (not full, like physically full) and stop mid bite, and save the rest for later. It feels like a long dormant part of my mind that controls calorie intake suddenly has a voice again and that voice has been drowned out for years.

So I mean it’s easy to say “it’s just calories”, but why when I eat a standard American diet am I craving thousands of extra calories per day and that stops when I eat like this? Even stranger, why do I relapse into these habits when I eat even a small amount of food like French fries or ice cream, over and over again? I know precisely why I’m fat, exactly what to do to lose weight, it’s not even difficult, but unless I have a very strong motivation to lose it I just don’t.

Most people don’t even have the requisite knowledge of how to deal with hunger cravings and get themselves in a state where they’re losing at all. They’ll eat chicken breast and a salad with no dressing then wonder why they feel awful because they’re not getting nourishment, then binge on ice cream. So how is the average person supposed to lose weight?
Gnome 44: The Best New Features
Just to add to this, monkeypox was the last time there was a new infection panic. We fortunately nipped that in the bud because we had vaccines and were more understanding of the severity of the situation. It’s not a 1:1 situation but it’s similar enough to put me at ease.
I've called this the rapidly shrinking innovation-disruption-adaption cycles. It quickly becomes the new rat race.

"It will be unlikely we will be able to plan for the disruption as it will simply happen before anyone can reason about what is likely to happen next or what to do about it. Any such planning efforts will be obsolete before they begin"

The key difference is that ftd is a single full stack language. You can make api calls, write custom functions, build components, use components etc etc.

A language designed for authoring. But still powerful enough (one day, it’s work in progress) that you can build most UI in it.
The US has a lot of problems a lot of other countries don’t have.
I'd say it might be even more relevant in those scenarios:

That site is now storing the link between your IP address and that other information. Some of those will be hacked, leaked, aggregated and combined with other datasets at scale.
Hey, Thanks for making Enso! I think that’s one of the smartest writing tools I’ve ever used.
The people they'll attract with that job description are already wealthy, likely semi-retired and looking for something to do. They won't care about the salary. They will cause headaches for the bookkeepers by forgetting to deposit their paychecks.

If this leads to a startup with a parking lot full of Porsches, well, that's not such a great sign, having BTDT. You want lean and hungry people at a lean and hungry company. People with something at stake -- if only their pride -- and something to prove. Not people who were "10x performers" at their former startup and are now, post-exit, convinced of their own intellectual immortality.

IMO they're better off hiring engineers like everybody else does, by paying market compensation.
This has existed for a long time from freedesktop.org, XDG specs, window manager extended hints, and so on.

And it's gotten better too - did you know KDE3 had it's own sound mixer daemon? It was called ArtsD. Now we have pulseaudio, or whatever, which is great and cross desktop

DBUS made it everywhere as well - I believe initially KDE3 as well did not have DBUS but had something called, DCOP. so - yeah things have improved a lot and many things - even command line tools 'playerctl' interop well based on this.

More fun is also like libreoffice is compiled with many different file pickers, so on KDE you can use the native Qt extended KDE file picker, and on Gnome you get the GTK one.
Well, blood sugar contains energy that has to come from somewhere, too, but one would hardly say this means type 2 diabetes is fundamentally caused by eating too much. Shoot, tumors contain energy that has to come from somewhere...

Of course, you could rightly reply that there are a lot of complicated things that happen between the food and the problem, and while those diseases require an energy surplus, that neither causes them, nor does trying to naively eliminate the energy surplus fix them. Contrary to popular wisdom, the same is true of obesity.

The idea that obesity could be avoided or cured with a little bookkeeping and self control is laughable to just about anyone who has tried. Telling obese people to eat less is like telling depressed people to get over it. You'd be astonished by how ultimately impossible that is if you haven't been there.
I mean, this is how most successful hedge funds get transferred and how most partnerships do as well.

The next gen takes on loans, often provided by the company to buy out the founders or previous partners. There is nothing strange or in appropriate about that.

> In most developed economies a company owner cannot arbitrarily destroy their employees' careers. You have a responsibility to the people who've devoted a substantial chunk of their lives to you.

No ones career was destroyed unless you know something I don't. Can you cite what you are referring to here?

Most of the people taking over are long term employees who have been making 7+ figures a year for 15+ years now. They aren't been taken advantage of, these are incredibly savvy people.
The musical Hamilton (spoiler alert) involves several Duels, and the rules are introduced with a quite formal explanation. (It’s a nicely choreographed piece of exposition).

In the musical the first step to having a Duel is to go across the river to Jersey, as it’s legal there (“everything is legal in Jersey”)

Another interesting part is that a doctor attends, and turns his back during the duel itself, in order to provide plausible deniability.
I don't think it's as bad as he poses. Layoffs are happening in all sectors of tech right now. Microsoft has never known what they wanted and pico was just copycatting the meta quest too much.. I tried one recently and even the menus were almost exactly the same. That's not innovation, that's knockoff territory.
Ask HN: Where do hackers in your city congregate?
I've been thinking of taking advantage of my remote working situation and traveling to different cities to explore. Does your city have a cool tech scene or meet up that I could check out? Where do you congregate with like minded professionals?

I'm really unsure why people try to justify it as 'but im not in china' like that makes everything ok or makes you think you're free from the grasp of the CCP.

Except it's not the same thing, its broken laws on public display. No need for data collection for that. But nice attempt at trying to change from China to US to UK.

Not the same, COM handles far more than the annoyance feature list.
When I was shopping for car insurance a few months ago, I used the Burner app to give temporary phone numbers to each vendor.

Allstate called before I had even completed the online application, and proceeded to call at least once a day until the number expired.

Geico called once.

Progressive didn't call at all. AND they were cheapest. You can guess who I went with.
> Harm reduction, which Maritza Perez of the Drug Policy Alliance described in an interview with The Daily 202 as “meeting people who use drugs where they're at to keep them alive,” has not traditionally been popular with the GOP.

That's a very recent definition of harm reduction most closely associated with the left wing of the Democratic party. Harm reduction as received from Europe was and in many respects remains more of a consequentialist concept. Few people would accept that the situation in, say, San Francisco is either to the benefit of addicts nor an inevitability, but it's exactly where the far left's conception of harm reduction has taken the city.

Consequentialist harm reduction is a much easier leap for Republicans; this would be just another step in their slow walk away from retributive justice. I don't see most Americans, let alone Republicans, ever embracing the American far left's conception of harm reduction, notwithstanding that in the woefully confused discourse (deliberately confused, I often suspect) many may claim to do so.
> board should be loyal to the shareholders

In what sense? Having voting control means he gets to pick the (majority of) the board.
The news makes money when you're engaged. The easiest way to keep you engaged is with anger and fear. That's why "if it bleeds, it leads" is a traditional maxim of television media. Social media is the same. They're trying to make money by keeping you engaged.

Neither the news nor social media is trying to give you a mirror of society. They are telling you the worst things that happen to keep you watching, not to give you a realistic picture of risk levels of activities.

Is this something you're not familiar with? Most adults have at least some awareness of this.
Nah a bunch of clowns funded by private companies used their salaries to boost their egos to develop stupid anti-user centric desktop software starting after gnome 3 launched. Remove all options, treat everyone like an iPad baby and try to leverage the existing desktop to do a radical paradigm shift, when all people wanted was GNOME2+. This is actually different than KDE3->KDE4 transition, which while it was a total disaster in terms of usability and reliablity, continued to keep the roots of a power desktop in terms of flexibility configuration and software customization.

You could always box.

As far as I know there is almost no pre-qualification required for a private sparring session and even the qualification to be a professional is a very low bar (IIRC it is primarily a matter of eyesight, since you can't wear glasses in the ring).
IT sent out a bunch of emails asking us to all set up crowdstrike. I decided to ignore them and see if their threat of checking up on it was fake. 6 months later and nothing. Glad I avoided this rubbish.

Ask HN: Why does our world have problems?
I hope we all know the basic answer.

But what I wish for in this discussion is an approach where we think in one other's perspective, where we look into things we normally might not notice.

I believe I have a very naive view of this concept, or philosophy, or whatever you wish to call it, and would like to know more.
This has been re-hashed many times.

What you should look at is the difference between Debian and Devuan. Or between Debian and OpenBSD, to understand what the systemd project is doing, and how it’s doing it.

There are many of us that prefer Linux as it was before systemd.
Yeah, private browsing / private session / incognito mode will stop you from storing cookies and session data.
so the school has the right to remove a professor if the student body doesn't want them for some reason

Yes, but is that a good idea? Latest example: the incident at Hamline University, where a student felt offended when he was shown Mohammed images in an art history class. These were not the CIA-sponsored Jyllandsposten kind designed to incite outrage but perfectly orthodox Persian and Mughal miniatures with scenes from the Islamic prophet's life. Universities have a purpose in society, and the at-will cater-to-students atmosphere really doesn't help that.

Also - freedom of association and freedom of speech, these are extremely valuable rights, they are necessary for the functioning of society and rightfully enshrined by the constitution. But what good are they if you can get fired for associating with the wrong kind of people (atheists? Satanic Temple?) oy saying the wrong this (perhaps the word "transsexual"?

It's a difficult problem that is not helped by facile "from first principles" analysis.
Accidental construct of what exactly? Crime might not be an urban phenomenon in other countries but it certainly is more visible and prevalent in US cities.

At least in west coast cities, visible crime is just a fact of life. It borders on gaslighting to suggest that its not.

Sometimes Firefox will encourage me to use Pocket or check out their VPN, but I don't find it very intrusive. I think Firefox is the best Windows browser at the moment. Your opinion may vary though. If you need a chromium-based browser, you may want to check out Ungoogled Chromium.
It did to me as well.
There used to be a great rotating cube animation in OS X when you locked the screen or switched users with fast user switching. It was especially impressive on the 24" iMac screen (I remember being delayed going to lunch one day because everyone in the office wanted to see it in action).
> Bachelors degree holders have 3.5x lower poverty rate, and earn on average 22k more than the high school diploma would.

It’s fun how comparisons depend on what you compare. Now compare bachelors degree holders against people who have pursued specialized career training after high school: license electricians, nurses, etc

It’s not like skipping 4+ years of college and its associated debt doom someone to bussing tables. There are other paths that for a responsible individual can be much more lucrative and much more secure than slipping into four years of changing majors, gaining debt, and getting drunk.

University is important and should be universally available. But it shouldn’t be committed to by default.
> Blizzard didnt lose the battle in terms of customer experience. Those people mostly played in servers like ggarena with low populations, kinda like WoW.

They most certainly did in this case. This was for the private beta of WC3, not the fully released game. Most people migrated to official Battle.net when WC3 was released, I know I did. They really wanted to keep their private beta private and polish it without the entire world looking in on it.

Calories In Calories Out (CICO) doesn't explain obesity. You are dealing with biochemical machines (humans). CI enters this biochemical machine; here, the signal system should be effective to 'equalize'. Otherwise, you get all kinds of problems: obesity, t2d, cardiovascular events, etc.

These new generation of drugs (semaglutide, tirzapatide) deal with the signaling system (endocrine signaling, that is).
> the accuser should not be able to escape accountability for making false or misleading accusations.

OT: Unfortunately, prosecutors in the US have "absolute immunity" and cannot be prosecuted for bringing charges, no matter if they have financial/political/personal conflicts of interest, or the charges are illegal.
Theyre still allowed to put it in brake pads in the US.
If you scale it up it can probably deal with a week. People have pretty bad intuitions about heat loss for big objects because most hot things in our lives are small, but since heat loss follows a square cube law, every 8x volume increase gives 2x decrease in lost heat. It's also important to remember that this doesn't need to be anywhere near 100% efficient. Given the swings in energy prices, you can probably make a profit at 50% efficiency.

Didn't read the article because i don't care to bother with the paywall, but if its title is related to any arguments within, then the comment you're responding to actually does address the main idea.

The title is an argument from authority against mandated implicit bias trainings, and GP's point attacks that authority.
The right approach might be something retrieval based where your own code gets embedded and then searched with some combination of dense similarity and keyword index.

Why don't you just turny our computer off then? It can't be exploited if it isn't actually running.

Which is to say most people use a computer to run software, so if the software doesn't run the security is pointless anyway.

Sure, if only some software breaks and you can wait for fixes that's a tradeoff, but given that in package maintainer land those fixes could be months or years away...
Very cool. Making attractive and readily understandable shaded relief is a real art. Curious to see how well this generalises to morphology outside the Swiss Alps.

self-aggrandizement and greed.
Total guess on my part but the smaller party is “made whole” which is less politically problematic than if a large company put in a bid, regulators block it, and the insufficient fee harming the company is blamed on the regulatory activity instead of the insufficiency of the fee.

Unless you’re asking why a small fee would hurt a small company. In that case my understanding is that acquisition talks really stall the business and defocus the company for a non trivial amount of time, not to mention that you’ve given a rival deep insights into your business that they can then use to go after you.

To me the worst part about using a Windows PC is the lack of quality apps. It's impossible to find a decent calendar or task manager. The quality is simply not here and you will never find anything like Things on Mac. If it wasn't for my job that requires me to use Windows, I would never willingly use it.
Ask HN: How did you overcome and recover from bullying?
Ask HN: High end” consultants, what does your day to day work look like?
I recently read patio11 article on pricing for consultants [1] and it encouraged me to think about freelancing/consulting for the first time in my career.

Currently I'm working at a big tech , and I estimate I would need to charge a few hundred dollars an hour (or equivalent) to maintain my income level. However I find it hard to believe clients would pay me that much to fix broken builds or hunt down bugs (a big part of the job now). I'd also be happy to move away from such tasks and into more energizing and valuable work, and increase my potential long term income.

What kind of task do well paid consultant/freelancers do?

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this as well. I think you have some valid points. For better discussions, I'm thinking we really need to begin to differentiate AI art on the values of utility, creativity, meaning, craft and visual appeal as I think very different answers are appropriate for each.

I've written a fairly long piece with some related content, the most relevant portion is the section "AI owns creativity". Would be interested in your point of view.

It is definitely possible to get a fat check and work on interesting problems at Google. But you need to be really picky with what team you work for (obviously, not so easy ATM).
Or even more sinister - they planned all of the above before doing the deal in an attempt to weaken Figma. Valuations were already way down when the deal was announced; this is one thing that stood out so much about the deal when it was announced.
I don't understand what's either astonishing or even wrong about that sequence of events by the government. Person calls 911 and reports child abuse. The government takes the situation seriously and investigates. The government determines there was no issue. Person being investigated is upset.

Other than the person calling 911, who do you want to do something different?

You want the first responder to dismiss the case because they don't think it matters? A lot of abuse went on for years because of that.

You want the government to take the kid while investigating?

You want the government to just not investigate and take the kids?

You want the parents not to be worried going through the process?

I just don't know how else I would want the government to react. It was far too lax in the past in investigating credible accusations. And if we have to error on one side or the other it should be helping abused kids.
