I think what ftxbro is saying is that Medium and Quora have both worthless content and a horrible user experience, and people ignore them because of the horrible user experience, so their worthless content does not get shared, whereas Substack has worthless content but a pleasant user experience, so its worthless content does get shared, and he hopes that its user experience degrades, so this stops.

> Personal politics, IMO, is not a good reason to avoid living in certain areas.

Policy climate can br a very good reason to avoid living in certain areas.

Failure to recognize this in time can be a very bad way to avoid living entirely.

Good. Social media without a metric ton of ads isn't meant to be monetized. Not everything that's popular in the digital world can be a successful business.

As an aside, I think Musk is a pompous asshole who needs to be reminded that not everything he touches turns to gold. Good for him for wasting 44 billion dollars. I wish I could drop 44 billion dollars on a vanity project like he did.

Can anyone explain the deep nostalgia and longing for old DOS era software, and in particular VGA text mode interfaces?

Show HN: Dividend Calculator I Made
Hey,

Software engineer and hobby investor here. I've built a Dividend calculator that I hope the community can enjoy. Currently, the portfolio is only saved to the local storage of the machine you are using. Please feel free to share your thoughts and let me know if there are any additional features you would like to see.
Get a government job. If you're an established professional (read: not straight out of college) you'd be starting as a GS-12 or GS-13 in most places. GS-14 if you're an expert in some field and they need your expertise (these aren't very common, though) or in some higher cost of living locations. GS-13 is increasingly becoming the "working level" (roughly: the baseline for individual contributors) for government programmers (career field is "1550", computer scientist, on paper). GS-13 pay starts at $98k if you're in "Rest of US" which is the lowest paid part of the US. That means that in the worst case of being in a Rest of US location and starting at GS-13 Step 1 you'd be making more than $100k after a year.

And that's working for one of the worst paying (for professionals) organizations in the US. Worst case, use this as a bargaining position with your present or future employers: I don't want to be paid worse than a government employee, with worse leave options (federal employees get 13/20/26 days of annual leave a year depending on length of service and 13 days of sick leave that never expires and 11 federal holidays), and worse health care.
Better to just drink tap water that's filtered. Even if you don't filter the water tap water is already held to a higher standard and it's easier to get your local test data.

I get test data mailed to me quarterly about my tap water without having to ask for it or sign up. I've never seen any test data to speak of for any bottled water.

And the tap water is not stored in plastic bottles.
You don't get the exact pixel values decoding a jpeg. But for a lot of uses, what you get is close enough.

Of course obesity is a massive problem in the US. That's undeniable. There is, of course, the opposite side of this where some people become anorexic which is well-documented. (Less common, of course, but still important)

But there are other issues of self image too, like wealth and success, beauty, etc.

Spending all day seeing nothing but seemingly "perfect" individuals with "perfect" lives (even if a lot of it is fabricated) can do a lot of harm, in my view.

I have never digged into the matter, but the closest existing thing which resembles your idea is that apparently, in Japan, there are toilets which do automatic testing and reporting. That seems like a neat idea because it does not require any kind of invasive procedure, but it is likely also a bit limited in what it can test for.
I think 25 million USD is too optimistic, since the Starship upper stage has six raptor engines, and the Falcon 9 upper stage has only one Merlin engine, but a launch price of around 60 million US dollars.

But NASA would pay much more than that if it means they can launch a telescope with a big mirror that doesn't need to be folded in. The main problem I see is that they would likely also have to pay for the
entire development of the new upper stage, which would be much higher than the pure launch cost. Since NASA already has JWST, I'm not sure they have much interest in a big new space telescope currently. Other than that, it's not clear what a super large payload fairing would be required for.

Congratulations on the project! I used to struggle with this until I decided to make sure everything I worked on had a humanitarian end. It feels more like that Bungie game Destiny 2 in that there is a clear common enemy in the broadest sense of collective identity.

Personal responsibility is great, but we're all paying for patients with type-2 diabetes (and other lifestyle related chronic conditions). We pay in terms of higher taxes for Medicare/Medicaid, higher premiums for private commercial insurance, and higher charges from providers trying to cover losses from indigent patients who default on medical debt. People are unlikely to suddenly become more responsible so what is your solution?
I confirm!

They're really hard to use if you didn't grow up using them and also haven't put in quite a bit of practice. They may be hoping for tips to make it less difficult.
I've heard anecdotes that their mental healthcare isn't great, and their PCPs tend to be a bit rushed (or maybe I just got unlucky when picking Dr's?). But overall I liked Kaiser. I liked how well integrated everything was, and it was easy to go to another office if my doctor was on vacation or didn't have any appt openings. I also really liked that I always knew what my appointments would cost in advance.

FWIW they kinda sucked for blood draws, when I had Kaiser I needed to make separate appointments at a lab, go in, and wait. The flip side is that when I went to urgent care with an issue they were able to say "go across the street and tell them you're here for imaging, they should be ready for you in 30 minutes or so" which was super convenient.

With my current PPO doctor, it's a bit more of a pain when I have to go to specialists and pricing sometimes feels like they call rand(600) every visit. But when the doctor wants a blood draw, a nurse comes and does it immediately, which I was was the way Kaiser did it.
Right so it should be much easier w/ access to every neuron and activation. But the general approach is an experimental one where you try to use your existing knowledge about physics and biology to discern what is activating different structures (and neurons) in the brain. I agree w/ the approach of trying to assign some functionality to individual 'neurons', but I don't think that using GPT4 to do so is the most appealing way to go about that, considering GPT4 is the structure we are interested in decoding in the first place.

> They could be leaving money on the table as people can continue to gain value from the perpetual version without you getting any compensation for that value.

They were compensated when you bought the version you keep. If you get nothing from them after that, then what would they be compensated for? I could understand it if the application required server-side resources, but if it's all local, then no further compensation is due.

If you buy Microsoft Word and make $10 million from a novel, you don't have to kick any of that back to Microsoft. The software company has no claim to the value created by their software beyond the licensing costs.

Really love the design of the website.

Couple nitpicks:
In the FAQs: "How is processed the payment?" should probably be "How is the payment processed?".

"Registration closes on Friday, April 28th at 12 midnight PT." at the top of the pricing section. What happens now that the registration is past that date?

All 3 of the FAQs have to deal with pricing. To be honest, I would like to know more about the actual service. How are group scheduled, what platform is used to do the meetings, what if no one joins a group, is there a refund policy, how many members are there, etc...?

At the end of the day, I have paid 10$ for much sillier things, so not a terrible idea. Good luck!

Anybody vitamin D deficient even after supplementation? I had mine checked September of last year, it was low even when taking 2000 IU a day, so DR gave me a 50,000 IU pill to take once a week. It's still considered deficient, but not as deficient. I live in Seattle, so not much sun has been out the past 6 months, not sure if that's skewing numbers lower than they are in the summer.

It depends how you parse it. It is clearly true that they 'can' explain neurons, in the sense that at least some of the neurons are quite well explained. On the other hand, it's also the case that the vast majority of neurons are not well explained at all by this method (or likely any method).

Salmon is found in high-latitude systems around the globe in both hemispheres. Overfishing is something that occurs to populations, not species. Most of the salmon populations that I am familiar with are not over-fished, but have suffered from spawning habitat loss due to dams and logging. Those are major issues and they continue to negatively affect those populations; you are doing the loggers and dam builders a favor by blaming fishing, which is far easier (and more politically palatable) to regulate.

Things are not that black and white. There are many places in both urban and rural America where access to healthy food is much further away and more expensive. If you're relying on food stamps unhealthy foods will often make your dollar go further. This is especially important when you're trying to feed a whole family. The corner mcdonalds or bodega is easier to access food when you don't have a car and work double shifts. Food preferences are also learned early in life and harder to break as you get older. This is a far more nuanced problem than people choosing unhealthy foods because that's what they want.

To combat this NY state, for example, has a whole program around getting additional benefits on top of SNAP for produce at local farmers markets which has been very successful. So yes, while no one is holding a gun to their head your hyperbole is not really adding anything useful to the discussion.
This is no one's problem except the commercial real estate crowd. Being obstinate and pushy for two generations of economic growth, leveraging to the hilt and beyond, and living on the work of others has hit a state transition and they dont have a way out.

San Francisco is no stranger to boom and bust, decadence and plague. Please wave hello to your quiet and strong neighbors, the ethnic Chinese community.

As a white person who grew up in the west, I was berated often for holding my knife and fork the “wrong” way and so it’s instilled in me that there is a “right” way to use utensils — thankfully, I only embarrassed myself a few times asking about the right way to use chopsticks before learning.

My technique for whisking eggs follows Jacques Pepin's and proper form (and speed) means you're forming a large hollow under the fork on each upstroke, driving a lot of air into the eggs. Can you achieve that with chopsticks, or is it just not needed with them?

I found Vampire Survivors in Steam's "Discovery Queue".

I didn't buy it at first but it was recommended in one of the "Since you like X" carousels and it was so cheap that I didn't really care if it was bad.

I've found a fair few games through the Steam store that I've really enjoyed. Two off the top of my head:

- "Gunfire reborn" is a fun rogue-like shooter from a chinese developer.

- "Risk of Rain 2", another roguelike. I'd played the original 2d version and didn't particularly enjoy it. The 3D sequel was great.
