He didn't say he knows _the_ cure he says he cured himself.

It's like someone loses weight and sticks to it, they don't know _the_ cure for obesity, but they managed to go from being obese to not being obese and staying there for some time and then wrote a blog wherre they say "wow, i found i was over eating due to eating shitty lunches at my desk and not doing exercise so then i switched to salads and cycling to the office, turns out i cured obesity in myself"

It's completely different from putting forward an intervention and then claiming, against all scientific evidence, that this is a reliable and repeatable cure.

A good trick for reading comprehension is to read the last paragraph first:

"I don’t expect this to work for everyone or even most people who are inexplicably unhappy. But I believe that most people can gain some insight by reflecting over how their lives correspond to evolutionary history. " blah blah blah..

This is an incredibly weak claim, it's basically saying "[most] people can gain insight into their emotional state by reflecting on their basic needs and for some people (not all, or even most), that might make them not be unhappy, my evidence is a sample size of yours truly, plus maybe a few people i've talked to who agree".

Wow.

One can often get a different impression of articles by reading only the headline or the first para, which tend to be loaded with attention-getters or rhetorical tricks that are designed to be provocative and hook a reader in. It's easy to make knee-jerk emotional reactions.

Article seems to me, just to be full of rather banal truisms masquerading as science.

But so is just about everything else written on the topic.

Unsurprising conclusion. Enjoy the day!
Yea, you can. It's just not as simple. In addition, lambdas have time limits so many longer running cron jobs won't work. How about web sockets? Simple queue? Simple cache?

There are many things that you can quickly and easily do with a server that you'd have to reach for 3rd party services to do with serverless. That adds complexity and cost.

This is why I advocate for servers when you're trying to build a product for the first time and serverless if you have a special need.

1. To be definitely safe, you can't just sample one healthy cell, you have to sample lots and from the many different types and subtypes everywhere in your body.

2. Sometimes the problem with cancers is that they are behaviorally wrong in ways that aren't easily expressed at the cell-boundary. (Your body has MHC-1 proteins that try to offer a debug-window into what the cell has been doing, but that's its own complicated topic.)

I think the concept of canon is very useful, because it's a consistent starting point for discussion. Exactly how strong and binding the canon needs to be can be debated, and varies depending on the situation.

The term largely descends from its use in Christian scriptural politics, where early church councils had to pick which documents were going to be considered true and the basis of their faith and which weren't. In this case, deciding on a canon of scriptures was important because it defined their religious teachings and what it meant to call yourself a Christian.

...but really, I come at it from a fan works perspective, and I just think it's useful to at least know how you're diverging from the shared understanding when you create something. Even your Truce at Bakura example relates to there being a Star Wars canon, it's just that we can accept that there's nested variants of it -- the original movies always holding primacy, and then either layering Legends or the Disney properties on top of it. Having no concept of a Star Wars canon at all would leave us with something like Star Wars: Visions, where "Star Wars" is more of a vibe that stories are inspired by than a setting that stories happen in.

>I was initially confused by the comment that it doesn't get hot in summers

NP.

I did say (knowing both that state (TN) and specific area well) "mountains" (not "hills") and "7000 feet".

That makes it a much more cold place than the plains of TN. You need a winter jacket in winter, and your ears and hands (and whole body, really) freeze like shit if exposed (not comparable to the northern areas of earth, like EU and
US, but still). Moderate to heavy rain in many months of the year, including winter, makes it colder. The place gets both the south-west and north-east monsoons, since it is high up and near the Kerala border, so escapes the rain-shadow effect that the rest of Tamil Nadu has.

Minimum temperatures are in the range of 10 to 5 degrees Celsius or lower, indoors, and you sometimes see frost on grass outside.

>The actual earthship / community is built in Kodaikanal, a famous "hill station" in the Nilgiri mountain range.

A few kilometers outside Kodaikanal, only reachable by jeep or motorbike. And it is in the Palani Hills, not the Nilgiris. Both are part of the long Western Ghats mountain range, which extends down the western side of India, near the coast, from Maharashtra or Gujarat, down to Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

You’re telling me. Especially when works directly contradict each other despite being in the same timeline.
It would take some serious hollywood plot logic to come up with some actual business decision even if you had all of this information in front of you. Are you going short based on what time the security team is clocking into work or something? They could get hacked but you might have no idea when that will finally affect the stock price if at all. You'd be way better off just bribing someone from that company to tell you whatever, than to come up with some sort of model that actually indicates something reliable based on this metadata.
I just did the same thing. I made a promo video for an art project which is a youtube short that is 60 seconds long. I wanted both the opening of the song, where things start slow and pick up, and the ending of the song where things build to a crescendo and then nicely close, so I had to find some place in the middle to blend the two cuts of the track together. I just tried this tool and it appears to work well. I have not A/B tested it against my manual cut yet, but I might swap out my cut for this one. Nice!
Ask HN: How small startups deal with long security questionnaires from clients?
Whenever we get a client with around 100+ head count, they ask to fill their own security assessment. It takes a lot of time as it has sometimes 100+ questions.

We can't also deny them, but we're getting tired. We're too small to hire someone for this and as a founder, my time can surely be used better somewhere else.

How do small startups handle this without getting SOC2?
Grounding is not necessary in this case, where we are dealing with EM radiation, not static charges.
They were never giving away service for free. Though they weren't charging end users cash, they were collecting their data, preferences, contributions, and numerous other details. They were correlating that data with other datasets to de-anonymize people. You might have never seen a single dime charged to your credit card, the costs to you were adding up over time.

After playing around with this, it is as I feared with respect to VPNs--it seems like you have to tweak a lot of obscure settings (and possibly run your own DNS server) to get the VPN to only be used for, say, a single domain. I'm surprised I haven't found a simple self-hosted solution to this yet. Edit: actually, this discussion on Reddit looks like what I'm looking for: https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/lqcmqn/use_wireg...

Tailscale looks promising, although I'm trying to see if I can get things working without signing up for an account there yet.

Cloudflare also requires an account and changing DNS settings (something I'm not sure I want to do yet).

Edit: I'm not opposed to having accounts and using free services--I'd just prefer not to, if I can easily avoid it. I assume all "free" services are actually "free until the company gets acquired" :)
Imagine a world where the advertising billboard you walk past reaches into your head and takes a photo of your shopping list. While it's there it takes note of any deep concerns you may not know you have. And your sleep habits, where you live, random visual memories it may find useful anytime in the future, has a guess at how much you'd like to spend using personal records, what pets you have or would like, family, a bunch more.

It then morphs into a dancing dashboard mannequin, a personal avatar, spouting nonsense, getting on your nerves, while its technoneurons spread, root-like, tapped into you. As you exit the car going into the supermarket, the supermarket is now a construct of the avatar not the bricks and mortar building it was when you were growing up. It exists for the avatar to make your life better, not for you, it robs you of choice and agency it does not agree with.

You go into a small cafe for some splice. It has a touchscreen display to order from, you must pay with a card or ApplePay.
> Subsidies are, after all, a historically successful way for governments to help launch new industries into orbit.

Hard for me to not call this “survivorship bias.” You don’t hear about the times it didn’t work…

> Many new technologies are expensive early on. If they’re technologies that seem likely to offer big public benefits, governments often step in…

Holy smokes, what a great point. We should also subsidize electric cars for families where biking isn’t an option. We should also subsidize computers - who wants to grow up not knowing how to code? Heck, let’s subsidize free Master’s degrees, because an educated nation is a productive nation! Where’s the subsidy for poor families to go to theaters for cultural enrichment?

I’m kidding of course, but to be honest, the argument proves too much and is hardly original.
I think the reservation is that when you offer subsidies for electric cars you can be damn confident that it will displace a gas car. For e-bikes it's less clear and they might end up displacing bikes for recreation which is arguably a net-negative.

I think instead of a POS subsidy I would make it a fairly substantial tax credit if you had fewer registered vehicles in your household than adults and keep it rolling every year. And for e-bikes specifically you can do the same sort of thing in addition, if you commit to not having a registered ICE vehicle for 1 year you get say an up to $2000 rebate on the purchase of an e-bike you can claim every so often like maybe 5 years.

I don't want to hire people who implode with a bit of pressure.

The pressure of whiteboard interviews (mostly negative; of the form "yeah this problem is basically trivial, but I'm not used to coding while talking to a stranger, plus the time requirements just don't smell right and certainly do not reflect real work conditions") are so infinitely removed from ...

The pressure at real jobs (mostly positive: "the problem is somewhat non-trivial, and I know time is kind of tight; but I'm in the flow and in my preferred environment; and at least I know the requirements are legit; so can I triage some good result out of this before the end of the day?").

At least for any job one would want to have.

If this distinction is not intuitively obvious to you - or are quick to characterize any negative reaction to your interview as a matter of the candidate being basically a total limp-wrist at your craft, ready to "implode" at the slightest difficulty -- then really, you have no business constructing interview challenges for people. Not challenges with any kind of a time limit, anyway (these being generally unnecessary, when we think about it).
Subsidies wouldn't (in my opinion) be harmful but the real transformation is changing roads. During Covid, cities in the UK built out bicycle lanes. They were not unified joy, there are still issues to resolve here. Reddit is full of pix of them being abused by white van man parking, and stupid behaviour by car drivers and roadworks. They were temporary structures. The bare minimum to demarcate ride zones. Real infrastructure makes barriers of substance even if only kerb height. Delineates the bike zone with different bricks, with independent lights, with "investment"

But, if you look to the Netherlands, building it as tram:car:bike:people each flow direction isn't a bad model. (as a sometime Amsterdam resident 7 years ago I too made the classic mistake of walking in the ride path. You don't do that too often)

If I had an e-bike I don't think I'd change very much of my distance, but I might change frequency of use.

Some friends with e-bikes say it re-socialised riding, because before power it was totally about cadence and strength so they rode 50-100m apart mostly, a function of their natural pace and ability. Now, they ride 2x the distance, companionably, and so get the same exercise (this use of eBikes is when they are co-pedalled, its not entirely free of physical effort) but much more nicely.

Right now, ebikes lie in a space which makes them fertile targets for theft. The city hire bikes in Brisbane have made a very odd height decision, you can't elevate the seat to suit my scale. I use them but its an annoyance.

If they became more ubiquitous and if the value in theft dropped, I think that would be a good thing. Or we can cut off the hands of the bike thieves, Either works.
I'm always skeptical of subsidies on a mass scale. All you do is increase demand and thus increase prices that offset the subsidy. It also incentivizes manufacturers to float prices higher anyway.

The Denver program at least limited it to low-income individuals which I think is the correct approach to avoid significant pricing disruption.
Haha, the funny part about this article is the mention of people trying to find happiness by studying the works of people who seem constitutionally unable to experience joy and, perhaps as a symptom of that, are extremely prolific authors on the internet.

Not to say that that's laughable per se, cos who knows what people take from reading the ramblings of unhappy people, some probably vibe with it, others may pity it.
Unfortunately I haven't come up with a good solution either beyond hiding the element with CSS, and then showing it when the controller connects (which isn't ideal). I'd love any suggestions though for different techniques

I bought an e-bike recently (at full cost) with the explicit intent of attempting to drive my ICE vehicle less and have loved every minute of owning it.

It’s a fun thing to ride, gets me a bit more activity (I don’t consider it a workout, but it is more of a workout than driving), and gets me more time outside.

I’m turning into an evangelist among my friends, and any sort of subsidy would definitely make that effort easier.

If you’re on the fence, give it a go! They’re pretty mature tech these days, with a wide range of available models and price ranges.

Okay fair, but they're still doing that. It's not like consumers have gained by the change in model, they've just found a new source of blood to drain from users. We have no control over our privacy plus fees!
>Truly sordid tropes about rent caps and freezes are trotted out again and again, as if simply reciting them makes them axioms: they're not.

Neither does insisting that these are sordid tropes make them so. In a vacuum, freezing rent disincentivizes the creation of new housing. You can negate this effect by subsidizing new housing, but that doesn't mean that the effect is fake news.

>Our elected leadership are captive to stupid market force arguments.

I wish. If that were the case, we'd replace property taxes with a land value tax, and it would be much easier for both the government and private developers to build new housing.
I think the real indictment on establishment thinking is that we need to perform a postmortem on the Denver program before we can extoll the virtues of subsidizing ebikes and yet subsidizing electric cars seems to have been a quick default option with little reflection involved.

Cars are so deeply ingrained in American infrastructural thinking, it's ridiculous.
