I’m with you. Although I recently started writing a lot more than usual. I ended up buying a used wire binding machine. I’ve been making notebooks with nice printer paper and cardboard from cereal boxes recently. It’s worked surprisingly well, although I may get a better source of cover cardboard soon. The nice part is that I can make notebooks of any size and any paper (like watercolor paper for sketchbooks) with lots of pages. Much simpler than sewing the binding.
Another technique is used at Elmer Beach in the UK. Rock breakwaters are built with gaps between them. This means that the natural movements of sediment with the tides fills up the space behind them, ie between them and the shoreline. They also make for nice sheltered little bays.

My point is most consumers are not buying race ebikes, they are buying ebikes to cope with longer distances and to do hill assist. Apart from the occasional package couriers I just don't see people hauling ass on ebikes on an actual road with traffic.

Electric mopeds is another problem though.

I'm quite upset with the way that Stripe is constantly increasing and shifiting fees.
A couple of years ago they stopped refunding the 2.9% fee when we would refund a payment to a customer too.
Sometimes they justify theirselves by saying "It's the network increasing the fees" and yet they decide that someone else has to pay for the increase. They do not split the difference, they just burden us.
So I believe startups using Stripe should start to be more vocally complaining about this. This way maybe Stripe won't just drop on us the fees but it will also start to push back against the Visa/Mastercard duo-poly.
Show HN: Kishi, a different approach to spaced repetition system
The most natural way to acquire vocabulary, is to see the same thing over and over again in different contexts, and Kishi makes the whole process as easy as it can be.

Fun fact, like Anki, the name Kishi also comes from Japanese, it is written as 既視, for describing the feeling of Déjà vu. Stop Anki (暗記) and start Kishi (既視) :)
Of course… but I consciously knew that fact - that nice notebooks are practically infinite and it’s just the money to obtain them that’s scarce - for many years while still having a hangup. Knowing that fact never helped me, it wasn’t until circumstances conspired to prove it to my subconscious for the specific case of nice notebooks that I actually began to act like I believed it. Up until that point, writing in nice notebooks always required a conscious effort to overcome the subconscious fear that nice notebooks themselves were scarce.

I think our brains just aren’t very careful or rigorous about what they attach that “scarcity” label to, they will happily attach that label to the product itself instead of the money you paid for it. Consciously presenting our subconscious with disconfirming observations can be an effective tool to update our subconscious labeling.

I also wonder what their lifestyles are in general, and if it would have an effect. I feel like weed puts my brain into autopilot to a degree and makes me 'okay' with w/e I am doing. So recreational usage I could see making you 'dumber' cause weed lets you feel okay doing nothing and doing nothing is a good way to be dumber

My anecdotal opinion for someone that smokes a lot compared to their long-term cannabis users, maybe once or twice a night vs 1 to 4 times weekly. I'm late twenties have been smoking since my early twenties, obsessed with brain optimization and min maxing performance etc. I feel like I've gotten smarter in some areas and dumber in others, which lines up with how weed affects the reward circuits of the brain imho. So I've been using it as a reward for doing stuff I otherwise would be uncomfortable with trying, like a new project or new hobbies; anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. So I think it has helped me get smarter programming and developing intuition on some areas, but since I have avoided writing like the plague it's gotten terrible to be honest. Personally it feels like it just tunnels you in further to what ever you are doing, and possibly makes it harder to stop doing it even not high
My SO can't seem to make a meal for less than 6, when it's usually the two of us, and may only have leftovers once, leading to a lot of waste, which irks me. Sometimes I'll eat more or less, depending on how I feel. It's also hard in that I'm a social eater, and although some foods are more problematic than others for me, she doesn't have issue with them.

Example, legumes... I don't feel well, general muscle aches the next day, when I have them. I grew up with PB almost every day of my life until isolating the problem about 8 years or so ago. I still like the stuff, living in the southwest, beans are a typical side. I also still have it, it's just I live with the effect, or after a few days am more inclined to stop having it. Self control isn't always the easiest thing living and being around others.

Widely held beliefs

Can you elaborate on these "Widely held beliefs"? You appear to have done some research into the topic so I think it would be beneficial to your point if you gave examples of the beliefs.

Because of Bandwagon fallacy, because we know just because something is widely-held doesn't necessarily make it valid, so these popular beliefs, I'd like to see what they are.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say (I'm not sure what you mean by "separate" here), but your assertions seem incorrect. Knots can have even or odd crossing numbers, that alone will not tell anything about whether it is an "unknot" or not. Also, if you have two non-trivial knots and "join" them (ie each a knot in a circle, cut each circle in one spot and join the circles at the cuts) you will _never_ get an unknot.

>> If there is a 10% chance it was a lab leak, that is still a massive concern. We can't afford to unleash COVID every so often

I try to make that point often. There were people seeking funding to do "research" that would create a virus almost exactly like Covid19. We don't need to prove that they actually did it and it leaked. They need to open their eyes and stop making bad things that can ruin the world if their precautions fail. Because sometimes they do fail.

Because local government has the power to collect taxes. If it chooses to selectively hand them out only to favored political institutions, then in practice this means many students won't be able to afford to attend their favored schools, and some schools will be financially non-viable. It may be the case that such schools will still exist in this environment (with a smaller student body), but that doesn't make the issue less problematic.

This only works if they put the office in the quieter back-road section near you. Otherwise you're driving all the way across town. The last company I was with I talked with the owner and he was clear why they chose downtown - yes, it sucked, but it sucked pretty equally for everyone.

Downtown is also the place with the most transit going to it - you're excluding anyone who doesn't/can't drive if you choose to build in a quiet section.

We had someone buy our home for basically top dollar at the time about 20 years ago. They worked for Ford and Ford was relocating him to the area, and he bought the house. I was told there was some relocation expenses they paid, but I don't think Ford bought the house. Well, I know they didn't directly, because we sold to him - that's what the paperwork said. I think he got moving expense reimbursement, but that may have been it. But I know they sold it a couple years later as the market tanked, and must have taken a loss. I wonder if Ford covered some of the loss for him? (Bought at $295k, sold for $205k 2 years later).

> From where I’m sitting, ChatGPT in its current nascent state is absolutely changing the world.

From what I've seen, ChatGPT is changing the world... it's absolute goldmine for the spammers, the content mills, the bullshitter industries. We've already seen at least one magazine cease unsolicited submissions because ChatGPT overwhelmed their editors. We've had a contributor on an open-source project get incredibly belligerent when told not to use ChatGPT to respond to bugs (because its advice wasn't helpful).
This is pretty important kind of research. Tons of people are using this stuff medically and while it's obviously a better solution for pain management than long-term use of things that can kill you if they're suddenly unavailable, like opiates, we should still be highly aware of mitigating whatever harms could come from the widely used alternatives. It would also be more interesting to see harm in aspects of things like hippocampal density compared to pain medication than compared to regular alcohol or other recreational substance use. I kind of feel it's unlikely at this point but it could just turn out that people who are prone to losing IQ points faster like to consume more cannabis as well and it's not as much of a causative agent. I would imagine the first thing I want after getting smacked in the head by someone if this was something I did professionally is something to take the pain away. This study could also just be a crock of shit like some others are saying but I don't really feel qualified to judge that.

The only thing that can truly tell with these kinds of studies is another 30 years of data.

That's a ceiling for the speed the autopilot is okay with letting the lander descend. There is no ceiling to how much hard it will try to "apply the brakes".

Actually as far as I can tell it's the other way around: if you embed the JS map it's free, but static tiles are charged API requests. I suspect this is because the JS map allows Google to create onwards journeys into Google Maps, and has limited utility outside embedding maps, whereas the static map tiles could be used in all sorts of products. I could be wrong though.
>I can assure you that not all French banks are like that. Plus for the majority of banking operations you can use foreign services like Revolut or Wise

The difference with Bitcoin being, wherever you are, on planet or in space with an internet connection, the same transmission rules apply.

You arent forced to jurisdiction shop or be a member of the minority of humans with the luxury of citizen friendly governance, just to transact freely. If there is one major usecase and value to BTC, its that.
> If an attacker has unrestricted access to your laptop or phone and you are trying to use this device to set up say your AWS root account, no amount of Yubikeys will help you.

They will absolutely help against a persistent compromise of my accounts. For example, I can check all registered security keys from a different machine and network.

If only the ones I expect are present, I can click the (hopefully present) button "log out all sessions on all devices" and be reasonably certain that, at least from that point in time, nobody else has account access. And I can make sure that all of the ones present are in fact my keys by trying to authenticate with all of them.

Registering a new key will hopefully also trigger a big scary warning email/SMS/fax to me and/or additional security contacts.

> Even for services that don't do this, there is usually some way to recover access anyway.

As a user, I sure hope there is – it would be genuinely frightening to know that my account is unrecoverable if I lose all security keys linked to it! Hopefully, that process involves a lot of red tape and not just an SMS-OTP or sending a blurry scan of my birth certificate to an e-notary several timezones away.
Wouldn't ChatGPT write a similar text about any other bank, in trouble or not? It would also write a text why SVB stock is going from one record to the next.

"Silicon Valley Bank has a strong track record of financial performance. It has consistently delivered solid earnings and has maintained a strong balance sheet, which has helped it to weather economic downturns and market volatility."
But those are the low hanging fruit that help me avoid rusting skills… and this is a common phenomenon on automation: you destroy the first rungs on the experience ladder, that no one wants to do but are essential to develop foundational skills.
This seems like an appropriate campaign to reach people who probably don't think about this kind of stuff. I think there's more than enough HN articles that show the tech circle's opposition to these kinds of measures already.

To be honest I'm not very hopeful. The average Joe really is gullible - just drop some terrorism, children and nowadays some "preventing misinformation" bs (which of course has never and will never be twisted to fit government's needs at the time) to the mix and people will accept it.

Nevertheless I support these campaigns since I'm more than happy to be proven wrong.
While it use to be different, many of these vehicles are sharing common development platforms. Particularly, between brands, the core vehicles are shared with mostly changes to fit-and-finish and easily swappable parts (like tires, brakes, shocks, struts, etc).
To add to that, nobody uses bike lanes that:

- Have missing intersections; where making your turn is impossible from the bike lane

- Are mixed use with heavy foot traffic

- Make you cross high speed traffic, or have otherwise unsafe intersections

- Don't connect to the existing network

- Don't lead to any destinations

- Have many potholes, or otherwise unpleasant surface

- Don't get plowed
I don't understand the incentive for a bank to buy them at this point, because any potential buyer might as well wait until the FDIC steps in to resolve the bank. Any banking wizards at HN who can explain the dynamics?

edit: At the very least, FDIC should issue a statement guaranteeing beyond the $250K/depositor limit sooner rather than later in order to stem some of the outflow.

I feel like this is a subtle jab pretty much nobody outside of serious aerospace enthusiasts is going to get. For those who don't know, right now there's sort of a competition for the 'next big thing' in rockets. Congress/Boeing/Lockheed have been working on the SLS or Space Launch System since 2011. It was expected to launch in 2016. It had its first trial launch in 2022, and is tens of billions of dollars over budget.

It's also expected to cost billions of dollars per launch. Its more common nickname is the Senate Launch System, since it's largely just a really big pork project. It's already not especially competitive against the Falcon Heavy, and is being built at the same time SpaceX Starship is also being built. That project began in 2017, is being completely privately funded, and expected to revolutionize spaceflight once again - with costs potentially as low as $1 million per launch.

Anyhow, the SLS is reusing a bunch of old technology from the Space Shuttle. This includes the RS-25 engines...
