The term 'legacy elite' is indeed ambiguous, so let me state things in a different way.

Imagine you're the President of Stanford, and some kid on the student newspaper is bothering you about some decade-old nonsense. You can barely even remember fudging the numbers and besides, everyone was doing it. Student newspapers have been railing against the university since time immemorial, but this guy seems determined to harass you personally. It bothers you and you want it to stop.

You could probably make it stop; almost everyone is guilty of something, and society has seen fit to give you your own police force. And even if you can't find any evidence of pot or drinking or piracy, why shouldn't rules about harassment, bullying and creating a hostile workplace be on your side? Even if that wouldn't hold up in court, probably someone can convince the kid that 'voluntarily' stopping would be in everyone's best interests.

Then you find out the kid's parents both write for major national periodicals. And not occasional contract work or writing the sunday style magazine, they're serious journalists.

You realise this kid has probably already received advice on the lines between journalism and harassment. Probably very well informed advice. And even if his parents don't personally write about rising censorship on college campuses, they undoubtedly know people who do.

You're going to have to do this one by the book.
you can still buy lots of sms for cheap, and free sms plans(i think i have) but they aren't included because nobody uses them, i not read sms who isn't from 2fa in more than 7 years, it is publicity, scams, and miss calls.

It's closer to closed than open.

"The produced fluid was pumped through a series of holding tanks to provide the residence time for the water to cool sufficiently and was ultimately recirculated for injection" [1]. They did add "saline brine sourced from a nearby groundwater well," but presumably the system stabilizes at some point.

Clear evidence that news was more entertaining in the 80s:

In the merry month of May
Just before the dawn of day
A plane flew in for Shannon to refuel.
Because Shannon is fogged out,
Their are the rite of ought
To touch down in Cork Airport as a rule.

As he flew towards Mallow town
His supply of fuel was down
But the pilot was as cool as cool could be.
In a racetrack west of town
He made a safe touch down
Just beside the Mallow sugar factory.

Labels are not the end solution, no one reads labels unless they want something, anyone in IT should know this. (It's a great dark pattern trick)

That video was a great example video of "Murphy's law" the engineer principle, not the joke. The problem is the solution, different attachments for different fluids goes against the safety of standardization.

I've seen USCSB give advice I would consider incorrect or in question, they suggested locking compound gates. You can be directed to leave them unlocked to allow emergency evacuation in person or by car.

I don't know what's better there, but USCSB needed to also address evacuation safety if they make statements like that.

This stuff is hard and has to be applied to accidents that have not happened. It's a 'Bullshit jobs' mega-machine.

Thanks. In principle I am wholeheartedly in support for geothermal as a renewable energy source, especially compared to fossil fuels. I think these kinds of developments to expand the potential for geothermal resources are super important.

I guess I just would like to understand some of the externalities to this particular methodology. Especially since many of the parallels to oil and gas fracking are present, and the environmental track record there is poor.
To be clear, you are claiming that Harvard explicitly does not consider legacy status when deciding on admissions?

ya. Well... I think it's unlikely. There might be cases, I went through some math on this once and concluded that maybe 2% of the incoming class at Harvard could be unqualified legacy admits based on the total pool and the SAT std dev, etc. but even that I doubt. I think legacies probably are qualified based on what I have seen but the main reason I think this is more because admissions are hyper scrutinized now (for the past 10-20 years and they've been publishing student body stats) so if there is a way for Harvard to let in unqualified people it will be noticed and the public would not accept legacy admissions(SFFA lawsuit began almost a decade now). The athletic one is a different beast.

you are claiming that legacy status is included for… what

Possibly a tactic to raise more money because alumni are somewhat tricked into thinking making donations increases the odds their children are accepted. I don't know for sure and they probably should not include it on the application.

Also, you’re moving the goalposts from “legacy-based admissions are okay” to “actually, legacy-based admissions don’t exist.”

haha. Well if a school came out and said we allow some legacy admissions because it raises more money from donors and we need the money (and that wasn't a lie) I think that raises an interesting question about admissions I don't have an answer to. Most schools probably don't need the money now, I don't know where the money goes though. But I don't know what to think about admissions; not convinced there is a perfect formula. I'm not in favor of one group monopolizing schools though.
Primarily, the antimycotic amphotericin B (a polyene) is used for treating protothecosis caused by P. wickerhamii.

Interestingly and worryingly, there are very few antimycotics and there aren't enough new ones in the pharma pipeline. C. auris is on the verge of being untreatable because of resistances to all 3 classes: triazoles, polyenes, and echinocandins.

The article is in a "South Asia" category, the author seems to be based in New Delhi and all the people interviewed in the article are based in India.

Seems it would be irresponsible for the author to draw any conclusions about things outside of India when the focus of the article is in India. I don't think the article seems to claim that this doesn't happen elsewhere, but at least they've verified it is happening in India.

Show HN: A web server for using TLS with many backend servers
I started making this in 2017 for myself because I got tired of configuring apache/nginx, and also because I love that the go standard library has everything you need for the web. Finally it has turned into something well-defined that I think everyone can use.

It's best for writing your own go servers using the library, then everything is automatically configured, with TLS on internal connections too, and it runs your server in a chroot as a restricted user by default. It's also one line of config to reverse proxy servers with a web UI like Syncthing or Plex (but you run those yourself).
Can we get a black bar?
Below summarizes the epidemic at many labs, especially in AI. If you want funding, GPUs and head count then you must prove yourself to be in top 5. The result is relentless pressure for the results that can create headlines.

It identified a culture where Tessier-Lavigne “tended to reward the ‘winners’ (that is, postdocs who could generate favorable results) and marginalize or diminish the ‘losers’ (that is, postdocs who were unable or struggled to generate such data).”

Ask HN: What are the best resources to learn about being a VC investor?
I’m sure there are many VCs here at HN (and many people who they invested in) so I figured this must be the best place to ask.

How can one who is interested in VC (from the investor perspective) learn the rudiments? What are the best books, blogs, courses, etc?
Let's look at France then. They have lower numbers on paper when you look at things like per capita GDP, but they live longer lives, work about half the hours we do, take a full month of vacation, have access to free higher education and healthcare, etc. The estimates for their overall wellbeing are very similar to ours [0].

At to income distribution - in France the lowest quintile controls 8% of incomes [1], while in the US that number is less than 3% [2]. In fact, the second quintile in the US controls only 8%, which means that for the bottom 40% of income earners, one is very likely to be better off living in France.

Income inequality does indeed matter when you have many millions of people living in abject poverty, and it is a very relevant thing to consider when comparing economies.

I really wish we'd stop mentioning DORA, which is now owned by Google. DORA employed a man who openly admitted on stage during a conference to beating someone elses child because that child had hit his daughter. He also went on numerous inappropriate rants on Twitter, one that was about a specific homeless woman and, from his perspective, how she had more privilege than some non-homeless groups. There are plenty of other reports of this type available and plenty of people doing great research.

If you're looking for an idea of whose best, I'd say ThoughtWorks is by far one of the most forward looking companies when it comes to determining future trends.
> It’s also fast and efficient to type on the keyboard. Plus it feels very natural.

If you are solely an English writer then yes. Using md with some languages will quickly turn you into its hater. Certain formatting symbols aren’t easily accessible in some layouts, like backticks for code or ^ for superscript. Some symbols require extra keystrokes like ~ in german. Some layouts will require finger yoga exercises. Basically, any other text markups based on English (including LaTeX) are unfriendly to other languages. Thus an abnormal popularity of md across the apps makes them much less friendly for non-English users. Mobile typing pushes this pain to another level.
Dang, that’s a big loss. A pioneer in his own unique way.
RIP Kevin. Too young to be gone. I only met him once but he was definitely one of a kind and his story inspired a lot of people.
That could change, if there's no credible reason for society to support it. Democratizing education quality and access is inseparable from diminishing, or at least changing, the appeal of "elite" colleges.
As hobbies go, I've come to find that gacha game spendings aren't that out of line. Most hobbies are expensive, it's just that gacha games are one of the more obvious examples of our time and our world view.

If you're doubting me, take a look at hobbies like ham radio or cars or golf or whatever really strikes your fancy. The vast majority of hobbies are expensive, they will make your eyes water if you aren't used to throwing wads of money around for fun. Even a gaming computer can run you a few thousand dollars, not to mention the games themselves, and I think gaming is a hobby most of us can relate to.

Another thing I've come to find, from keeping a journal of my own spendings, is that while the total sum might seem ridiculous it's actually nothing unusual when considering the length of time that money was spent over.

To use myself as an example, I've spent somewhere around $12,000 on FGO over a span of about 7 years now. Is $12,000 a huge sum of money? Yes, absolutely. But according to my Excel spreadsheet it's also about $1,700 a year or $140 a month or just under $5 a day averaged out. I spend more than that per month on just costs of living, even just eating out a couple times will cost as much per month. And remember, that's averaged out: I can go for weeks and months without spending anything if the game doesn't interest me.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, a lot of the anti-video game and anti-gambling crowd have started to sound more like a certain segment of people demanding others shouldn't have fun. It almost sounds like a new spin on "Video games are making violent children!" because that topic has gotten stale.

Is gambling addiction a thing? Yes, and it is unfortunate; some people really do need help from themselves. Irresponsible parents and children who don't know better also inevitably exist, and they too need some safety wheels so they don't trip over too hard.

But responsible adults spending significant sums of money for fun is not and should not be a problem by itself.
together with a bunch of other characteristics too
Miserable. Godspeed, Kevin.

Nope, it's more mundane than that. It's novel for non-exertion heat stroke. Seems to me like a distinction without a difference. How the body got into an overheated seems mostly irrelevant as to whether an ice bath in a tub vs a bag. But they acknowledge this technique is used in exertional heat stroke.

I would too. Their white paper devotes an entire section to induced seismicity. There is less attention paid to steady-state water requirements. (Given it's just water and brine, and assuming natural prop pants, the threat to the water table seems de minimus, barring something nasty dissolving out of the rocks.)
Ideally, merging the PR and having it be in production is a 30-60 minute automated CI process.
That's a wonderfully evocative image, and I am a total non-expert so this sort of depth may be common, but I do note that that map pin is in what looks like harbor landfill. It may require an unusually deep foundation to reach bedrock there.
I know of some similar misconduct around research at another well known university. Hopefully the field can be reformed further to protect against manipulated research because it’s extremely dangerous to the public interest.
RIP - He was a role model to upcoming social engineering folks,
Might as well complete the quote:

TF: I think Bill Clinton was the pivotal figure of our times. Before he came along, the market-based reforms of Reaganism were controversial; after Clinton, they were accepted consensus wisdom. Clinton was the leader of the group that promised to end the Democrats’ old-style Rooseveltian politics, that hoped to make the Democrats into a party of white-collar winners, and he actually pulled that revolution off. He completed the Reagan agenda in a way the Republicans could not have dreamed of doing—signing trade agreements, deregulating Wall Street, getting the balanced budget, the ’94 crime bill, welfare reform. He almost got Social Security partially privatized, too. A near miss on that one.

He remade our party of the left (such as it is) so that it was no longer really identified with the economic fortunes of working people. Instead it was about highly educated professional-class winners, people whose good fortunes the Clintonized Democratic Party now regarded as a reflection of their merit. Now it was possible for the Democratic Party to reach out to Wall Street, to Silicon Valley, and so on.

Although there were hints of this shift before Clinton, he actually got it done, and his perceived success as president then made it permanent. This was something relatively new for a left party in the industrialized world, and it was quickly adopted by other left parties in other countries, most notably “New Labour” in the UK.

Unfortunately, this strategy has little to offer the people who used to be the Democratic Party’s main constituents except scolding. It merely assumes that they have, as the ’90s saying went, nowhere else to go.
He's social engineering his way through the pearly gates now. Rest in peace, Kevin
After graduating, I spent a few years working at small design studios in Amman. Meanwhile I paired with two programmers to do a side project, it was an open source and free app for helping people teach and learn programming online. And out of no where the project was a huge hit in the world of technology, which made me thrive for more and that passion found its new home in New York.
Indeed. Given the site's name is Hacker News, it would be so fitting.
Those are important skills, but does a journalism major really teach you that? Nearly all of my daily interactions with journalism involves endless amounts of agenda-driven spin, and consistent use of intentionally divisive and provocative language. Journalists are responsible for some of the least effective communication I see on a daily basis. Perhaps it would be more useful for teaching you how lie all the time, whilst holding on to a few shreds of plausible deniability.

> Why do you care about compilation output?

I was advocating/piloting a new framework in the app and was unhappy with the output versus the input and perceived complexity. I spend a significant fraction of my time cleaning up performance issues. A good chunk of that is download size so I care in general about what I'm sending across the wire.

Collapse? Yes eventually, but in the meantime…
It's the luck based nature. The addiction is because you have inconsistent results despite consistent inputs. Humans like to learn, problem solve and pattern seek. Luck based reward systems subvert that but random games tease that part of our brains that it is possible to figure out the pattern if we just do a few more experiments with inputs.
