So many hours of my childhood. Wasted. Damn you. Why didn't you tell me about this then?
I sometimes have sinus issues enough that sleeping lying down is nearly impossible - my camping recliner is a life saver in those situations, as I can adjust to my needs (I’m also a side sleeper, so it’s non-trivial).

Anyway! Strong recommend.

Have sympathy for your old folks. Of course you have more clear context on this than me so I could be out on thin ice, but hear me out. My inclination though is that it is actually something like fear based. We smile to each other to send the signal “hey, I’m nice, don’t hurt me”, monkeys do that too. And a laugh at those kind of situations you describe could just mean a shocking reflex “I don’t know how to handle this situation” which results in a laugh (and described as “happy”).

I could come up with a few hypothetical questions from this though:
1) do narcissists find “fail videos“ more amusing?
1.a) if yes, then it can be trained away by reminding them to reflect on the situations. This is normal training for narcissism, put them in other people’s shoes.
2) watching the same “fail videos” over and over again makes them boring?
2.a) it’s on the same line as previously, but instead the hope that it internalizes the seriousness of a situation.

Gadsby: 50k Word Novel Without the Letter “E”
One of my relatives worked for the MTA for 20+ years until moving to a new role in 2022.

He's mentioned consultants a lot, and has said the reason they relied heavily on consultants and contractors is because hiring or firing an MTA employee is a complicated and time-consuming process, and it's easier to hire consultants you can decide not to renew instead of risking a bad hire (that said, the way he's described the bidding process for new contracts also sounded extremely complex and time-consuming to me - I'm speculating that getting rid of a bad hire is somehow worse than that).

He's also talked about a different kind of consultant, namely a cadre of management consultants that were brought in under Andrew Cuomo to restructure the agency. He didn't like those folks very much.
CNS misquoted in a pretty material way. The exact phrase is "It's OK to be white". Not "alright to be white". This matters because "It's OK to be white" is the phase used in a trolling campaign in 2017 and 2018. (https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/its-okay-be-white). This phrasing is a major error on the part of Rasmussen and invalidates the question, and possibly every question asked prior to the poorly phrased one.

It's wonderful that you've made progress on the puzzle you found yourself facing. But in reading your essay, the subtext that comes through more strongly than the medical dilemma is a sense of disorientation, loneliness, and anxiety. Even this comment hints at it in its opening disclaimer.

For all I know, you see family every weekend and have friends over for drinks and games every night, but the story suggests that your inner experience of navigating a deep personal struggle involved a lot of private worry, disappointment, and lack of practical culturally implicit skills like how to develop a relationship with a doctor.

Since you seem to have some momentum in self care at the moment, you might want to consider a deeper look at what's going on for you there. You might find consistent therapy helpful as you do so.
This use of “dropped” started in the music industry. It means released.
So a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Hong Kong posted a self-published, non-peer reviewed paper, which was subsequently shown to not be supported by the underlying data cited. She also fled Hong Kong after publishing that paper.

This sound a lot less like she was deplatformed from Twitter by Twitter employees, and a lot more like Twitter was given a legal order from the Chinese government to deplatform her. Which is a very different conversation than employees of social media companies suspending someone because of their personal beliefs.

Despite her being suspended from Twitter, "Yan’s paper on Zenodo — despite several blistering scientific critiques and widespread news coverage of its alleged flaws — now has been viewed more than 1 million times, probably making it the most widely read research on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic" [0]

She also proceeded to appear on the most viewed national evening news segment multiple times as well as dozens of podcasts and live streams.

So I don't really see how going from having a Twitter account to being a national conservative hero as a whistle-blower is really feeling any negative reproductions from her speech. In fact, her speech seemed to make a name for herself and win her a lot of positive publicity.

I believe that people should have the right of freedom of speech. However, it also means that you should have the freedom of speech to argue against them too.

(However, if you wish to state your view, it would be better to try to make an argument for it, if you can do so. (It is possible that it is just a guess, in which case you can say so; if you know why you made that guess then you might mention that too.) If a reasonable argument can be made on both sides then a better debate will be possible, rather than merely being ignorant and saying things without any good reason to do so. If you actually explain things, then you can learn better, isn't it?)
This is addressed in one of the linked tweets.
That's not really accurate.

I'm not asking the submitter to editorialize the headline, which is what is frowned upon. In fact, the headline already is editorialized, because it says this was a DMCA takedown, but there is no evidence to support that. I'm asking to either:

1. Submit to an article source that actually has more information.

2. Submit a text submission, where it's fine to add details of what's going on, or even to ask for more information. E.g. this happens all the time for users who were cut off from some service, then they explain the situation and ask for assistance.
> “Realistic” in the sense that it’s nearly impossible to see that a filter is being applied.

After looking at several of the videos, you start to notice some similarities, at which point it becomes a lot more obvious.

The vast majority of normal people just don't look like that, certainly not most of the time. So if you see someone with a perfect-looking face like in these videos, either they're a professional model or they've used a filter. Not hard to figure out which one of those possibilities is overwhelmingly more likely..

Still, even if you know all that it probably won't be enough to stop this stuff from messing with your brain if you look at it often enough.
You can't drive with the headset on and public transit is severely lacking.
I had some issues like this but only manifested when I was on work trips which lasted weeks to months. I can tough out several days of sleeping in a hotel but the longer the stay the more I react to whatever is common to hotel rooms and the problems breathing / and sleep apnea gradually push me around the bend.

Returning home cures me after a recovery period.
I often joke to my migrant coworkers that they don't understand, they think you work in order to live but here in the west we live to work.

Everything is about work. We allow people to have a home and a car... wait for it... so that they can work! If salaries are to small to survive people stop working, if they are to big they also stop working. We've tailored the salary to squeeze out maximum productivity. Where homes and/or food are cheap employees are also cheap and visa versa.

This is no accident!

I applaud that you are not renting office space, your programmers already have a desk and a computer and their salary is such that they can and will replace it. You are going to pay for that. You have to or they will go work some place else where the salaries are more calibrated.

If you will ever do offices you will need a good excuse for it. What that might be we don't know but you will need something in return for sacrificing productivity. As everything is about work that what the proverbial top performer wants is probably related to work too! If they are more productive if you give them their own office you would have to figure out if it is worth it.

It would have to be some office if they are to feel at home there. Or actually, if they are to be more comfortable than at home.

The whole premise is absurd, the product they make (if not interrupted) is 1's and 0's it can easily be shipped all over the world. 2 desks will make it slower and needlessly complex.

Maybe the migrants are right and we are wrong. Maybe the show should be about living not about working. One time a coworker who barely speaks the language was asked if he could do a 7 day work week again. He reluctantly agreed and asked "but when do I live?"

Yeah, the old ways deserve every bit of mockery. The revolution has to happen now or it wont happen at all.

You did cover this in your article : )
Puberty blockers and hormones are different things, that's why they have different names. Puberty blockers do not cause infertility or a lack of sexual function. So 96% of children go on to become adults that choose to take hormones because they made the right decision going on puberty blockers. There is a good reason why children should have access to puberty blockers, and to not suffer through a puberty that isn't in line with their gender; it's so they don't kill themselves.

> Moreover, crashing on assertions has the unintended consequence of making programmers afraid to write assertions. In a past life, when I worked on C++ servers...

The client side rendition of this philosophy exists too. Some client engineers consider it bad form to allow the user to see the application crash. So much so that they'll actually advocate for harmful things like littering the codebase with default values so that when something bad happens the application just keeps on chugging along in a state that nobody every accounted for because doing who knows what to the user's data because they hid errors in default values. It's really really sloppy.

I am definitely team let the user see the crash. Then they know something went wrong, can be alert, and try again in needed. They can report the problem so the devs are aware or the dev's crash tooling will automatically do it. And, ultimately, the issue will get fixed.

(The original version of this philosophy was probably "don't let the user see the app crash, handle the error properly, showing something helpful to the user if necessary, instead". But when adopted by time-constrained product engineering teams, sadly nobody cares about properly handling error states.)
There certainly is a difference between keeping LavaRand operational or not. But I would submit that the difference is worth it. I mean c'mon, it's super cool!

Also, from a different angle, think about the potential blowback if they were to shut it down... That sounds like a PR nightmare waiting to happen.

> making sure that randomness makes its way into every cloudflare server.

This does not hinge on LavaRand. The machines' local entropy sources would ensure secure randomness even if LavaRand were compromised.

I have been following The Long Now Foundation for around 20 years now, the clock was still just an idea when I first found out about them and the first model had yet to be built. From the first time I found out about them I wanted to contribute in some physical way, I wanted to have something that I made to be a part of it but for what ever reason I never pursued it. And now for what ever reason I decided to finally pursue it, I just wrote them a letter and that letter is now in the mailbox waiting for the mailman to pick it up.

I think they are right in the idea that humanity lost something important when it ceased building monuments and I hope I will be able to be a part of their monument in some way beyond the rather antithetical monetary fashion.

The thing I want to make more than anything for them is the actual key cap on the button people press or the knob on the lever which they pull to get the time, that thing which people will touch for 10,000 years to come. It is a tiny and ultimately insignificant piece of what they are doing and ultimately I would be thrilled to make anything related to the movement, but to make that insignificant piece that everyone who wants the time has to touch but has no real impact on purpose seems more meaningful than building the clock itself.

I don't expect to get anything from them beyond a form letter, but maybe I will get to make the completely useless knob that sits on top of the lever which allows people to get something as banal as the current time for generations to come and that is their point. They succeeded in their goal when it comes to me, they got me to see humanity beyond what it is for me but for what it is I can offer them 10,000 years down the line even if all that is is a fleeting touch at the push of a button or a bench where they can rest their weary legs after hours of waiting in line to pull a lever or push a button so they can know what time it is.
No, Li was a former study colleague of the boss of the Wuhan hospital and the leader of the research lab, and received the information about it in the afternoon the same day.

Interesting that this article popped up not too long after the discussion about the TikTok "teen" filter, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34918735. The top comment on that post is "As a GenX who played with that filter yesterday, I don't understand why anyone's reaction would be to cry." Well, this is certainly one reason why.
I got lucky and hit all of these problems in my first few hours of trying Fly (much to their detriment, unfortunately). I wanted to love it, but I encountered nothing but bugs when I played with it over a weekend a month or so ago. Internal DNS worked for one but not the other of my nodes; Dashboard accepted my credit card but didn't actually upgrade my plan; SSH console would hang, requiring killing the client process with SIGKILL; my builder hung with a Dockerfile that was literally just "FROM ubuntu" and "apt update"; this failure resulted in `flyctl machines list` hanging and `flyctl machines kill` hanging. Maybe it was just a bad weekend at Fly, but their status page was all green, too.

So many problems between me and even giving fly a serious try. Unfortunate, but maybe in a year it will be better.

Services like WhatsApp and Telegram have all but erased this phenomenom in the rest of the world.

My friends and I have been WhatsApping up a storm even before the first iPhone became available in my country. This was pre-android, believe it or not, WhatsApp used to host JARs you could download for your Symbian dumb phone. Before WhatsApp we used a service called MxIT.

For me and most of my peers, non-SMS mobile chat dates back as far as early 2000s. For all my teenage and adult life, I've never once sent or received an SMS in a social context. My SMS inbox is 100٪ banking transaction alerts, OTPs and spam.

Yes, you need to treat the actual underlying condition causing issues. Lots of health issues interfere with sleep.

Muscle tension was another confounding factor. I was tense all the time. Treating muscle tension improved my symptoms, but it was only a band-aid.

Potassium deficiency can cause muscle tension or cramping and will also cause poor sleep.
> Shootings ... are a very small problem compared to things like ... car crashes, and tiktok.

That's an interesting claim. Perhaps you didn't know that "Firearms now exceed motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of injury-related death for people ages one to 24" according to [1].

I suppose that statistic might include gun suicides and gun accidents, which (under an extremely contrived definition) don't count as "shootings", but that still misses the point that sensible governments have successfully reduced car accident deaths by tightening regulations related to vehicle ownership and licensing, whereas America is notably bad at doing so for guns, and is paying the price for that failure with the blood of its children.

If you could provide a statistic for the number of annual US deaths due to TikTok, I'd be interested to compare that to shooting deaths too.

This is a growing problem. As far as I'm aware, Cloudflare does not collect or report these type of metrics because if they did, they could be abused.

There is no way to actually know who is or isn't a bot. The methodology for bot detection changes dramatically, isn't published, often isn't well tested, and fails to fully capture turing tests in any meaningful way. Its all about forcing more requirements on the user, where the more unique the user is, the more likely its a user and counting all blocks as a net win. The only problem is it drives surveillance capitalism, and its a flawed assumption.

Maybe you should start an end-user Firefox extension/platform that aggregates where it checks for these, and allows the user to self-report when it fails (or detect and show repeat failures.
Recently I've had an argument with somebody bragging about they managed to bypass goto with writing following mess:

do {
r = allocate_resource();
if (!r)
break;
} while (false);

When I've said that this is just a messy unreadable version of goto, I was told that goto is harmful and this is a structured programming, which is superior. GOTOphobia is real.
