I find a lot of the "X is unhealthy" advice to very pernicious.

Because once you examine it, it typically boils down to "well, ok, healthy X is healthy, but unhealthy X is unhealthy", at which point it's a tautology and totally useless advice, and probably serves more to promote a bias or an agenda than anything else.

But because people like platitudes, they omit the "if healthy elif unhealthy" part, and effectively lump the whole X onto one category that they feel more biased to, with a hidden 'caveat emptor' clause.

It's the same here.

Pursuing dreams is unhealthy -> Pursuing healthy dreams is healthy, but pursuing unhealthy dreams is unhealthy.

Vegan food is healthy -> Healthy vegan food is healthy, but unhealthy vegan food is unhealthy.

Exercise is healthy -> Healthy exercise is healthy, but unhealthy exercise is unhealthy.

Sex is healthy -> Healthy sex is healthy, unhealthy sex in unhealthy.

Liberals/Republicans are assholes -> Asshole liberals/republicans are assholes, non-asshole liberals/republicans are not assholes.

I dunno, it's just getting more and more tiring to have to filter all these arguments in this manner ...
GDPR creates a lot of FUD because:

- The penalties are massive: fear

- The wording is vague: uncertainty

- What to do is unclear: doubt

That's entirely on the EU. I have no vested interest in GDPR one way or another at the moment and yet having been involved in assessment projects in the past, it is a crap law that makes the EU look incompetent and stupid. Nobody can figure out what the hell it means in all kinds of common scenarios. HN is full of people saying it's simple; I have yet to encounter any of these people inside actual enterprises, doing actual implementations of it. People who think it's easy are invariably eurofans engaging in wishful thinking.

> the intention was that people would cut down on that tracking to avoid needing a popup; but ended up in some form of malicious compliance

That's not how it was. The EU passed an incompetent law with unclear goals that kills the ability to do business of anyone who doesn't implement the banners. Cookies are in fact necessary, not optional, not nice to have. They are required. Thus everyone implements the banners, the internet got worse, the EU now looks foolish in front of the world and yet can't accept it.

Defending Disney, the Palpatine-returns-with-better-and-more-weapons-than-before plot comes from Dark Horse comics. At least we didn't have Stackpole writing the scripts, JJ Abrams alone was bad enough. No idea what happened to Episode 8 so, Knifes Out and Glass Onion are great films with great plots and writing.
Well, the main QR code menu service provider is conveniently one of the main banks in Ukraine and it's not an evil company.

But yes, concern is valid. But yes, they know anyway because you pay online.
The most important thing it lets you do is combine and compare factors in nonlinear but intuitive ways.

The aircon example isn't really that great, to be honest, because there's only one rule and only one action you can take. If you add in "how full is the room" (and letting that be tuned for room size), an automated window vent, the outside temperature, and some sort of air quality reading, you can see how the job of making a room tolerable to be in starts to combine factors in interesting ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_associative_matrix and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defuzzification are things I'm sure your course would have covered, but that's where I'd point at as a start.
CRM solutions help salespeople track leads, contacts, prospects, and other critical sales information. A CRM solution allows users to follow the status of opportunities with sales cycles in order to determine the chance of a transaction completing.

> It's not counting, it's just outputting something that is likely to sound right.

What does this mean? How can it possibly come up with the number 4 in a way that doesn’t involve counting?
Preferably.

Or you can resort to a paper menu and/or cash payments both of which are always readily available.
> Sometimes, I wish my life didn't revolve solely around abstract tasks and concepts.

Unless you're socially insulated, your life doesn't really revolve solely around abstract tasks and concepts. You spend time with other humans, where you have a lot of non-abstract tasks and concepts. You go buy groceries, which is a physical activity, and so on. Maybe we're blind to it, but our worlds are still very much physical and non-abstract on a daily basis.
Say you are an ERP vendor who really wants to get a contract with the (imaginary) Penzance Metropolitan Borough. What do you do? You identify the key decision makers and start wining and dining them. Since scrutiny at local level has largely disappeared (thanks to the demise of local press), nobody will notice.

Maybe you don't even need to do that, maybe you already knew them from school, so it was a given that they'd call you as soon as they got in a position to bring you in - and you'll be so grateful, you'll probably let you stay at your cottage in France for free, any time they want.

Etc etc etc.

This is stuff that in other countries would be called organised crime, mafia, defrauding the state, and so on. In Britain it's just how the ruling classes go about business.
So, yeah: The two mentioned companies do indeed have close to 100% market share. Both have excellent UI/UX.

> eating oil is pretty gross

It is. But you hopefully get used to it?

Other examples:

1. eat only egg yolks (i'm actually alergic to egg whites)

2. Eat the foods with most carbs before gym. This way you can utilise some carbs for gym and you'll still keep high levels of ketones (see /r/ketogains protocol)

3. See the instagram account I linked.

4. See what they do for epilepsy (hint: they kinda drink oil because they need 90%)

The beef fat trimmings are still kinda oil, just in nicer form and nicer taste. Literally eat 0.5kg-1kg of beef fat trimmings a day (they get 1/4 size after cooking)
Its tangential to your point, but Signal offers apk downloads from its site, and the app itself does auto-update.

"Advanced users with special needs can download the Signal APK directly."

Yes you are partially right. You can avail free versions but cannot avail the whole experience. We are providing the complete package where user can ask question from not only single document but group of questions. Also these tool require vector storages if you want to save your data for future use. We are doing it for users. Not everyone knows how to work with github. And if everyone knows about how to work with git repos then there is an alternate solution for almost every paid app out their including open AI
Glassdoor is one good candidate for "disruption". Anyone knows a competing alternative for a global workplace review website?
https://yxproblem.wordpress.com/
Some people wear suits that fit them well, other people look like "the accused."
I may be out of depth here, but does anyone else also thinks that measuring "emissions" is a kind of bullshit? First it is not very precise in the first place, but let's assume it is. Second - the effects of the GH gasses in atmosphere is not linear, scientists hypothesize about different thresholds which can be reached at certain global temperature points. Like for example west Antarctic shield detaching, Gulfstream interruption, sedimentary ocean methane release, permafrost methane release etc. All these can rapidly change our climate while "emissions" would be steady or even receding. Third - even "level" emissions would still continue heating up the planet, and heating rate would increase even with the "level" state of emissions, simply because "old" already emitted gasses are still in the atmosphere.

I think it is more fair to measure temperatures directly, as we already do, and make estimates from there. It's not the CO2 which would harm us (at least not that much), it's the temperature, so we need to base our analysis on the thing that interests us directly. And not on the derivative of the derivative of it (emission rates).

I suspect it doesn't matter how good are our models or how good are humanity's efforts in green tech. Until we are actually removing gasses from the atmosphere permanently, the planet is fucked. Just faster or slower, doesn't really matter.

True on parts availability - a friend bought a hot hatch from Peugeot - it was one of those performance models with a tweaked engine (higher rpm/camshafts) instead of the run of the mill ones.

So engine imploded and he waited months for a part that was on a ship somewhere - they eventually bought the car back from him.

Needless to say I never bought a French car.

I think you have imagined those imaginary lines. I have no idea what you mean.
That's a fair point.

Not least because this is why I wouldn't consider buying a Tesla. It feels too much like dealing with software: it isn't your car. It is Teslas car. And maybe paying a bunch of money for it means you can drive it, but sometimes, when you hit some corner case, it doesn't.
You can add TOTPs to a password manager like Keepass.
Parallelizing SAT solvers seems like a strikingly important avenue for future research.
Sibling posts have pretty much answered it already. If you want to really overgeneralize it, it blew my mind a mere few weeks ago when I finally came to the realization after all these years that TOTP is nothing more than an initial seed value, as one half, combined with the current time as the other seed half.

I had a huge jackie chan meme moment at that point.

Then I realized that, all along, my password manager has a feature to store TOTP, and there is not even a strict need to use all these authenticator apps. (Of course, as someone who strives to exercise some security mindfulness, I reckon it undermines much of the overall point of TOTP to keep it within the same datastore as your account password.)
Blind, but I can't imagine why anyone would trust a site that requires you to register with your work email.
You're validating the opposing argument with those examples.

Windows 3.11 and 8086 are no-longer in active development. But the Windows operating system and the Intel x86 chipset are still being developed, and are relevant topics of current conversation.

Similarly, "cars" aren't new as a concept. But recent news developments regarding recently developed cars counts as tech relevant to Hacker News.
Have you tried Spacy?

I find it substantially better than other tools as PoS tagger.

Also worth noting the that your assertion that you need these features to classify genres isn't obviously true to me at all.
OP indicated that arriving by car they got there much faster. I assume they wouldn’t have said that if their time finding a parking garage took up a large chunk of time.

Then other person said it would be 20m to walk from the train station. Not 20m from OP’s house.

Assuming the car is generally faster than the train, you now have a choice between train + another 20m walk, or car + whatever time it takes to park.

20m is enough to get the bike out for, but that’s not an option after taking the train.
I mean it would be worth 10x as much if its also made you breakfast but it don't and it won't.
You can absolutely have an energy requirement cliff that has to be exceeded for a thing to work before you can even measure it's efficiency. Trying to push something from standstill vs. keeping it moving.
I did use Authy once for a service i used for a bit but it required me to put my phone online every time[0] i tried to authenticate because otherwise the authentication would fail, so the association Authy=TOTP made me think a reliance on a 3rd party service is required and the page mentioning only mobile phone apps also made me think there is also some sort of reliance on mobile phones.

The only key bindings I added were the ability to scroll up/down single lines, because I find page-scrolling annoying. But other than that, by crap defaults I mostly meant presentational issues. Once you spend a couple of minutes to learn the navigation shortcuts, they're not that hard to learn and they make using info quite pleasurable.

Here is my own .infokey file, in case it is of interest.

Were you sitting in a comfortably air conditioned car, instead of being drenched out walking 20m in the rain?
Let's brainstorm some solutions to some of the problems that would arise with another glassdoor clone:

- How do you verify that the reviews are actually from current/former employees?

- Can the data be open for the public to verify while protecting the people leaving reviews?

- How could the service get funding? Donation model?

- How would you overcome the initial issues with trust?

- How do you prevent companies from manipulating the scores/reviews?

- How do you handle legal challenges if you're based on something like a donation model? Companies would surely sue you at one point or another if they cannot take down reviews themselves

You should be asking what an individual can do to not starve to death or die of over heating.

Ask HN: PhD and Now?
Hi all, I think the title says it all. I did my PhD last year (in Germany), have been working as a PostDoc for about a year now, but want to get out of the university. The academic path in Germany actually leads inevitably to a professorship, we don't have many alternatives. But I don't want that, because the pressure at the university is just irrationally high. Therefore, I am now looking for work in industry. I've already written a few applications and had a few interviews, but the jobs all seem trivial to me. I know this sounds super pretentious and arrogant, but I want to be more than "just" a software developer or sysadmin. On the other hand, I don't want to stay at university.

On top of that, I have pretty high expectations of my employer. Weapons industry? Automotive company? Banks and insurance companies? Big Tech? No, thanks. I'd rather stay at university.

What did you do after university, if you also got your PhD?
Yeah the more i read the comments the better TOTP sounds.
No.

There are plenty of research directions that are outlined in this document that don't require huge compute budget.

Interesting points and I agree.

Makes me wonder if I should’ve picked a different name for my passphrase generator. I named it “Pgen” and I use it several times per month.

https://github.com/ctsrc/Pgen

Perhaps “passblazer” or something would have been a better name :thinking:

Unfortunately, it’s not really possible to rename it at this point :/

Oh well, maybe some other time I can come up with a creative name for a project instead of an overly descriptive name :)
> there is nothing wrong with the design per se

Only in a limited functional sense. But it looks ugly, and the actual content consists of a bunch of standard components without any clue as to how to make them work together visually, while the guidelines is just a handful of one-liners, with some bad grammar advice thrown in. It focuses on minutiae, while handwaiving the larger picture.
Keep smashing my head against the wall until I make progress. Accept that it can take days to get an in.
For years I had the same gut issues described by others here, seemingly caused by a combination of factors. I'll share what helped me solve the problem.

The most effective thing for me seemed to be hitting the gym hard, lifting heavy and sweating a lot.

Alongside that, I went through a lot of trial and error with the foods my body would tolerate. I started with a low histamine/low FODMAP approach, various fasting methods, bone broths (collagen), probiotics (sauerkraut, kefir), etc., and slowly introduced various foods on top of that while noting what made me feel good or bad and basing my diet around that. Everyone is different so what worked for me diet-wise may not work for you.

Lastly, for my particular case, I think liver-boosting supplements like milk thistle and NAC helped significantly (and probably some others for any vitamin/mineral deficiencies, especially D3+K2). I suspect the root cause of my problems was toxic mold plus stress/trauma.
That is what I do too.

I also never type the first prompt out to 4 in the actual chat window if I think there is going to be some back and forth. I write it in a separate file and really clarify my own thoughts before pasting it in and starting the dialog.

If using 4 correctly I think your head should be swimming with new information before you hit the limit for most tasks.
>If you're holding a currency in reserve, you're explicitly not using it to purchase goods and services.

Right. The point is you need confidence that it will be possible to use it for that in the future for a large portion of your (or somebody else's) basic needs.

The US gained reserve currency status when it became the world's factory in the aftermath of WW2 while the rest of the world's factories had been destroyed.

>Is it coincidental that the US started running a trade deficit in the decade it abandoned Bretton Woods?

After it became the world's reserve currency? No, it's not coincidental. As I said before it's a perk of being a reserve currency. How could they resist?

Well, they couldn't.

>If your currency becomes a reserve currency it tends to appreciate in value, which makes your own products more expensive (especially as exports). You can call being able to import things cheaply a benefit, but it's a detriment to those in the reserve currency country who make their living as producers.

I never said that being the world's reserve currency was good for America. It went from the world's industrial powerhouse (a title now claimed by China) to a having its entire industrial ecosystem hollowed out for profit.

It did take a long time though. That could be the case for China also. This is the kind of shift that can take up to 2-3 generations though, whereas a run on a currency takes a day.
Relevant to this: unimaginably vast amounts of effort have gone into making propellers a little bit quieter so they are harder to hear while still allowing reasonably high speeds. A lot of that is to do with avoiding cavitation at the prop tip, which is a) noisy, and b) very destructive. no prop, no prop noise...
I also don't have a smart phone or hardware key, and feel the same.

I host my packages on my own server using the PEP 503 "Simple Repository API". (For what it's worth, Donald Stufft, author of this PyPI blog post, also wrote PEP 503.)

I migrated away from PyPI years ago because modern FOSS distribution is increasingly intermediated by package managers, which I think worsens the connection between user and producer by adding a layer of anonymity.

I see 2FA as a technical work-around using mechanical trust instead of personal trust.

I don't care if people who don't know about me or my project web site can't find it on PyPI, because care is reciprocal - I want them to care about me too, at least enough to know where the project came from. That's where I think trust comes from.

My packages will never be popular. I develop very specialized software for a field with perhaps 10,000 world-wide users. No one will pay for my software, or hire my services, if they only visit PyPI.

I thankfully still have a Python 2.7 version of my software on PyPI. I haven't deleted it, to make name-squatting harder. It's even lead people to contact me directly, to ask about Python 3 support. I never would have heard from them, had I published the newest versions on PyPI, and that direct contact breaks the anonymity PyPI interposes.

A nice plus is how hosting means I have full access to the download logs, giving me insight onto what platforms people use that PyPI doesn't provide, because "anonymity".

The biggest annoyance is they main reason I started using PyPI was because someone else added another project of mine to PyPI.

I distributed https://pypi.org/project/PyRSS2Gen/ on my own web site as source. Someone else added it to PyPI, with me listed as the primary developer. I didn't know about it until the PyPI devs emailed developers like me to encourage them to support Python 3! I then had to ask that stranger for access to the PyPI entry.

I fear that will happen again, if I ever develop a new package that I distribute myself.

I hope this provide something for you to chew on, as you consider what you might do.
Blind is nothing like Glassdoor, two very different platforms which seemingly two very different goals.
Evolutionary, stress helps an animal to survive an imminent danger. Stress (glucocordicoids) divert your energy to either flee or fight. Digestion? It's not important if survival is at stake. You can survive with a bloated stomach but not a missing stomach.

If stress is chronic then you get the bad stuff all the time.

> Municipal fiber comes in one of two flavors. There the PON services that are basically built the same way as a commercial provider but are run as nonprofits, and there are the Amsterdam Citynet or UTOPIA style open access networks where the government organization runs the last mile but then allows providers to rent access to that last mile network to access customers.

There is a third flavour where the municipality owns a PON service, and operates it as a for-profit service, exploiting the citizens as a monopoly at profit margins way higher than it would be feasible if run as a private company.

Other countries are implementing carbon taxes on their imports from countries that don’t tax carbon so companies will end up paying it indirectly on import taxes if their own government doesn’t levy it.
That’s a relief.

We can all get back to normal life then.
