> vast, vast, vast majority of human history we have in fact had the ability to make sturdy, beautiful, long lasting furniture completely for free

Again... Go visit and Egyptological museum. Go see how rough, compared to modern furniture, the royal masterpiece chairs were.

For the 1599950 out of 1600000 years humans definitely could not afford or had any nice furniture. Absolute majority couldn't afford even rough sturdy, unnice furniture. And your comment about "free housing" is naive... It wasn't free and desirable places had their own issues.

Taking a dump on companies like IKEA is very much the most condescending thing we could do. I certainly have experienced the inability to purchase even the most basic necessities, where IKEA would have provided some relief.
That it meets an intent.

"Take 3 hours of floor arguments and committee testimony, and identify compromises."
A couple reasons. It's operationally too slow, and when you're working on teams (larger than 1 per role), this makes notion a hassle to update. For devdocs, the larger developer community has already rallied around open source tools that provide easier management through github. The current sharing options are also not good enough to support that use case.

Essentially, the more you update a notion page, the more unbearable it gets.
"Is fever good or bad? Scientifically, we just do not know. However, if we take the evolutionary perspective, then blunting of the adaptive febrile response must be maladaptive. Fever is estimated to be more than 4 million years old and has been documented in the phyla Vertebrata, Arthropoda, and Annelida (7). Despite its long history of study, the exact mechanism of fever and its potentially protective effect is not fully delineated. One could hypothesize that treatment of fever compromises immune competence and renders patients more susceptible to infection. Take, for example, the classic experiment by Kluger et al. in 1981 (21,22). Here, Kluger et al. infected cold-blooded iguanas with bacteria. He gave them the opportunity to seek heat via sunlamps and all but one sought the warmth to raise their temperature. The one who did not was the only one who died. Next, he injected the iguanas with bacteria and gave them antipyretics. The iguanas that were able to mount a fever despite the antipyretic were the only ones that survived."

There seems to be significant evidence as outlined in the article that letting fever ride (i.e. leave it untreated) can save lives. Given the pervasiveness of fever and its treatment, the public health benefits of letting it tide can be quite large - both in deaths and reduced transmissions.

This can have an outsize impact something akin to hand washing before surgery. I wonder why this does not get more airtime from health professionals!
Yeah you totally can. Even when you get to later in life :p

Didn't read the article didja? Or even click and read the full title?

The $750k figure is the amount of Mux's services they provided in 2021, that were (claimed to be) pirate streams, and were not paid. By taking steps to catch and remove pirates, they are reducing the number of unpaid invoices they have.

Their actual costs are less, yes (in that how much they invoice != their actual costs), but it's reasonable to say saved themselves $750k of their services.

It had nothing to do with converting pirates to paying customers. It had to do with preventing pirates from incurring infrastructure costs for them/making use of their services without paying.

The odds of some natural event happening aren't always independent from year to year.

I feel it is racist and presumptuous for a bunch of ugly Americans to sully Patrick's good name by doing nothing but wear gaudy trash and get rip-roaring drunk. It's disrespectful to actual Irish people. It is a level of parody and mockery that would be met with violence if it were used against a protected class such as Blacks or LGBT.

I am, in fact, a teetotaler, and I belong to an Irish association that promotes temperance and we practice total abstinence from intoxicating drinks. I took inspiration from my pastor, who was a member and spoke of his experience. It is not a great sacrifice for me to give up alcohol, but it was a pleasure to drink sometimes, and so I offer it up for those who can't stop. Every time I see a drinker on the street, or an abandoned Steel Reserve at a bus stop, I stop and recite our pledge-prayer for them.

I feel that drunkenness and intoxication ruins lives and steals innocence. I believe that marijuana can be useful and has a place in society, but I also believe that it can be abused, and I don't much enjoy being exposed to a constant flow of secondhand smoke of any kind (my downstairs neighbor seemed to have a regular pot habit, and so my bedroom would fill daily with smoke, and I'm sure I had a contact high. This interacts poorly with my meds.)

Drunk drivers ruin holidays for many people. I try to stay off the roads, as a pedestrian, during peak-drunk seasons. A girlfriend once insisted it was perfectly safe to drive while stoned. I'm not so sure.

But if the analysis programs are in a different server or you don’t want to transfer 100s of GB of data to the local machine for processing, you still want to have the ability to selectively transfer individual files.

It doesn’t matter if you mount a remote server locally… unless your data is of a trivial size, you still want to do the processing remotely.

I see this as a theory vs practice difference. In theory having one unified file system is great and the way to go. In practice… there are issues.
My God the ads on this website. What have we become.
In the last 10 years I moved 9 times. Only 3 times of which were local moves and 2 were transatlantic.

I get that you don't want to take it with you, but why chuck it on the curb where it's likely to become waste when you could sell it cheap or give it away for free?

It’s inaccurate, but honestly not too inaccurate. The revised chart he ends up with is pretty similar to the traditional one. The important thing is to think of it as a simplified graph in formant space, rather than as directly showing tongue/lip positions.

> From what I understood, one of the main downsides of the chart is it focuses on tongue position, but not lip position.

The main downside is that it claims to focus on tongue position, but really it uses a weird, poorly-defined hybrid of acoustic and articulatory criteria. Lindsey’s point is that focussing on acoustics alone lets us produce a diagram which is generally more sensible and more principled, but still very similar to the traditional one.
The people that Mux are applying the word “pirate” to here are the people doing the streaming, not the people watching the streams. The people doing the streaming aren’t only “making paid content free to access”; they’re also putting up ads on these sites, making a profit off of IP they didn’t create.

It’s analogous to bootlegging: buying a fake Gucci bag is not unethical; but producing one is.

Show HN: Neat – Minimalist CSS Framework
Today I fixed a couple little bugs and released a new version of my minimalist CSS framework. I built this to scratch my own itch and I've been using it for a few years as the starting point for most of my own websites.

I noticed I hadn't shared this with HN for about 18 months (5 or 6 minor version changes) so I thought it might be okay to do that now.

Edit: Err, I missed a post from 7 months ago.

I mean the antique Amish furniture I inherited from my grandparents has definitely saved me money. Free and better than anything I could afford. That's what I mean by being a generational purchase. I probably should have said it will save your family money.

Hahahaha. Bro, how rich you think I am? The desk I have is currently sitting next to an Ikea bookshelf, it looks fine. I moved it by putting it in the back of my friend's truck. I'm never selling it so a few scratches are fine.

There’s your problem right there. We are all getting a worse product from IKEA because they have to keep investors profits up.

They wrap this boot to the face in a lovingly quaint “scrappy engineers” story that’s supposed to make it seem like this is all unavoidable effects of some mysterious process.

It's their business how they operate.

This is why I like the term occupation. Clearly, a way they occupy their time.
The game-changer for me was MyLifeOrganized. The killer feature is dependencies, so you can choose to only be shown actionable tasks at any given moment, complete with context sensitivity. The only thing missing is sharing tasks with others.

With that in mind, I've been using Active Collab since 2006 for collaborating with others. It has dependencies too, but doesn't work anywhere near as well as MLO.

I've tried most of what's available over the years, but finally happy overall. I keep the widget on my home screen with an interactive list, and can also double tap the back of my Pixel in any app and add a new task. Super cool, and works on all my other devices very well.

Re the ADHD, I was diagnosed as a child and was apparently the youngest person to ever be prescribed it in the UK, stopped taking it at about ten, and now looking to get back on it, but enduring the waiting list currently. My partner's cousin has ADHD, and seeing the difference between her medicated and unmedicated gave me the realization that my dose was wrong pre-puberty, and rather than stopping it entirely, I should have been willing to figure the dosage out instead. Highly recommend people just embrace that they probably aren't a lazy failure or disorganized mess, if the intent is there but the execution isn't, they've probably got ADHD, and there's plenty of options.

> I've had the same Ikea Jerker desk since 1998. It still looks like new, and I've moved across the country with it several times.

The important thing to remember here is that the structural members are entirely metal on that desk. As I recall, it's a full metal frame that doesn't use the tabletop as a structural member.

That right there is the trick to stable cheap furniture. If you get a metal frame it should be pretty durable!

Depends what kind of documentation. General team docs? Yeah great those barely change. Same with job postings, outside of an "active" toggle, there's not much that changes for them. Everything else? You waste too much time dealing with notion lag. A lot of the integrations also suck and are far too limited in what they do.

One final note on docs, one of the best moves in recent years is expressing difficult concepts through interactive content. Notion cannot handle this at all. Static or nothing on notion!

I have an IKEA dining table and chair set that's at least 15 years old, and we use it every single day. It's in its third dwelling. It's solid wood and would probably last another 15 years. At this point I don't even like the thing but with two kids now, it's great to have an old table. If it gets crayoned on or written on or glued on or gets food and gunk in the cracks, no big deal, it's old.

I have some other solid wood IKEA pieces that are nearly as old.

Other IKEA stuff has been chocked in the trash over the years but generally it's a good value for the money. I can now afford better than IKEA but alternatives often cost much, much more and I'd rather not spend that much for my kid's furniture that needs to last only a few years anyway. I do shop elsewhere for stuff I'd rather keep longer.
As an atheist who doesn't believe in a singular omnipotent being, I'm not religious. However, I attended a Unitarian Universalist (UU) meeting in the past and found it to be quite compelling.

I do celebrate it! I truly do. It shouldn't be illegal. It should be regulated & treated as an awful disgusting vice that people can legally, but can't be advertised, has to have gruesome images on the packaging, and that as a society we try and convince people not to do. Exactly like smoking.

It hurts my heart to say this, because I personally genuinely HATE smoking. I grew up in a smoking household, and instead of becoming a smoker, I went right to the other side of the spectrum. Gave my family hell for it. Really hate smoking of any kind. I also have a crap sense of smell now, but I can smell a smoker a mile away, and I hate the smell.

but I don't want it to be illegal. When it's illegal, it still happens, but all the profit goes underground and just makes everything worse. I'd prefer it was all legally produced, regulated, legally sold, taxed, etc etc.

Then we just follow the Australian / New Zealand playbook for reducing smoking, which has been incredibly successful.

I've recently started using Notion in a similar way that your engineer uses Markdown files. Apple Notes is great and I have moved away from paper notes simply because there is no search and it can be hard to flip back through books to find what was said in a meeting six weeks ago. My favourite thing about paper notes is that I engage more with the meeting since I have something to do with my hands.
For the record, when I stated: “We are all going to die!” I meant it as a hyperbole. I actually don’t believe a literal total extinction of the human species is a likely scenario (even in a +4° horror scenario; even with a nuclear holocaust on top of it). “We are all going to die” is more of a you and me are personally very likely to die because of climate inaction, or at the very least, our lives will suffer, and there is nothing we can do about it.
