<<Stranger still, some doctors declared the syndrome occurred only in certain geographical locations. New York and Southern California were deemed risky, while Hawaii and London were absolved.>>

NY and SOCAL, that explains it all ;)

I remember I never had any symptoms from eating Asian food with MSG from being gluttonous with the chili sauce or ate too much and had a normal, expected belly ache, and the sudden revelation that MSG was to blame for a few of my NYC peers' varying maladies, and how people would triple ask if there was no MSG in their takeout to the point of hysteria at some Chinese takeout restaurants to the dismay of the cashier. Not surprised to see the revelation of a lot of bad science from MSG, to P values and so many papers being audited and struck down, to faking heart study data ala Darsee and Slutsky, to the FDA's food pyramid, to disease mongering by big pharma and the media's effect on having everyone think they have this or that syndrome with some more gullible than others.

"wait until the snow melts". How long have you been living in your bubble? You do realize in some parts of the country it would mean waiting for 6 to 7 months before driving again?
A clearly biased view that ignores the unusually high number of Chinese exchange students and researchers that were caught performing military surveillance. One could just as easily blame China for creating a hostile environment rather than US immigration policy, which is among the most lenient of any country. Let's not ignore the fact that the US takes in more legal immigrants per capita than any other country. And that's aside from illegal immigrants, which are estimated to also number more per capita than any other country.
If the goal is to gain research, appealing to countries other than China, may simply be a safer bet. That is unless the US assumes Chinese immigrants are somehow better than other countries of origin. And if they did, it would be just as discriminatory.
A big problem in the US is that many developers still view trains as an extension to driving. The result is that they end up building a huge car park next to the train station, with low-density suburbia around it. Many other countries essentially end up building a suburban core around the commuter train station, with high-density housing, shops, and midrise office buildings.
Calculating exactly how many roads are “necessary” to create a thriving society is very difficult.

For example, we need some amount of farms in rural areas, so we need at a minimum roads to those cars. But we probably also don’t want to force farmers to live completely isolated, so farmers need some amount of rural community. Stores, schools etc… then we need fire, police, water, power. And all of those things require roads for access and maintenance.

Then add in the fact that none of this is centrally planned, and that there’s a definite need for redundancy.
Eh, not terribly impressed by the list. But I will do me, good advice!
Quit my job and left for a remote job paying double the moment my work decided to enforce RTO.
This comment reminded me to thank my wife for doing the hard work of being a homemaker.
sorry, I believe Philipp meant that you can "configure it" - similar to Prettier: https://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration.html

I've updated the Readme
They shouldn't forget that the office is no longer as productive. We used to have our own desks before the pandemic but now we have a half broken booking system for the hotdesks. Half the people ignore it so I often have to fight work colleagues.

Also I'm no longer near the people who I actually work with but mindless sales drones instead, barking loudly on the phone all day. I really hate the office now. I go as little as possible even though HR demands we come 2 days a week. But screw them.
Wow, the address of that Tank website is Uvalde Texas where that horrendous shooting happened
I never even considered looking for a bankruptcy auction. Thanks for the idea. I will look into this before making a purchase.
But there are lots of things that are good and moral to offer that aren't human rights.
What does "Sync for Lemmy" do exactly.. there's no app description.
Don't forget salsa verde. Trader Joe's salsa verde if you don't want to make it yourself. It has only 10 calories per serving.
...I really do appreciate this take, even if I can't completely get behind it (kids aren't parrots). But couldn't you make the same argument about commuting?
Yep, good idea, thanks! I want to make a Raspberry Pi with a camera, that sends me a text when the delivery truck drops off a package. I was looking into YOLO, although every year it seems like the tools change. And not sure if I need to do training separately. Lots to learn.

I guess it's harder to find time to learn the basics -- vs the old days where all you needed was a few `for` loops and some math.
Then they have no business investing in whatever it is they're investing in.

Everyone should do a minimum amount of due diligence on the companies that they own and that make up their retirement / house purchase / kid's university fund.

If not that, then it's better for most to accumulate capital by paying off their home loan or some other scheme that they understand.

The answer cannot be to hand off all power to a single megacorp that owns a significant chunk of the US economy and whose CEO gets to dictate the entire boardroom agenda for the whole country.
How a city can look like
Are you Vansh Shah? It's fine to post your stuff here, but it's it's weird to write it like a third persons. (I think it's usual in other sites, but not here.)

The first profile in X/Twitter seams to be private or something. I can't read it. (I still don't understand the new X/Twitter.)

This post looks to generic to get traction here. Do you have a technical blog that explains how you solved one problem in your project? Or a post about an early demo of the projects, or about some interesting feature.

It must be something long, but not too long. Probably a technical article that can be read in 10 minutes. If possible, with a few relevant graphs or photos. Which one is your best one?
Yes, societies around the world still have lots of improvements that can be made, and probably can keep improving forever.
I never got around to learning to drive (always worked in Dublin, and moved into the city centre after college), and was quite shocked to discover just _how_ much people were spending on it (for instance, apparently avg price of a new car here is 35k; I'd have guessed maybe 10-15 if you'd asked me)?

Of course, there are tradeoffs there; my house cost a _lot_ more than a house in the middle of nowhere, certainly. But all in all I'm glad I avoided tethering myself to a car (I do plan to learn at some point, as it feels like the sort of thing I should be able to do before I'm 40, but I can't see myself actually buying one).
This is interesting!

If I understand it correctly, it means that damage to roads is completely dominated by trucks, as long as you have more than 10,000 cars per truck. Near my home I would estimate it at around 100 cars for every truck.

This means that cars are completely negligible, and that supporting road construction and repair by taxes (ideally, direct taxes on the truck users, which is then rolled on to consumers through higher prices) is correct.
> I think cities looking to make better public transit should copy the Seattle model rather than the NYC model

What is the “Seattle model” vs. “NYC model”?

They are vastly different places. For one, NYC has over 3x—and Manhattan over 8x—the population density of Seattle.

Many times in NYC, the subway is as fast or faster than a car. Folks often complain their “schedule is at the mercy” of a train, but forget that the same is true of car travel with traffic, road closures, etc. Don’t get me wrong: there are a lot of things about NYCT that suck, but being worse than car travel in NYC (for areas with subway service) is not one of them.

And yes, NYC needs a better bike experience. Still, Citi Bike had 114,000 rides per day last month (a far cry from ~3 million weekday subway rides).
The higher pay is a big thing - lots of people think they "need" to take a pay cut but this is absolutely not the case. Often, I think it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy - people self-deprecatingly accept lesser pay because a job is remote, when in fact a compromise was never needed to begin with.

When my old company (paying top of market) started to enforce RTO, I left for another company paying ~twice as much - fully remote.
Well that’s it, pack it up boys, the AI wars are over and Elon won. Just like the owner of pets.com owns pet food shipping and I buy all my TVs from tv.com and let’s not forget how everyone buys their computers from computer.com. It really goes to show how owning a generic domain names leads to you owning the market for that term.

/s

I honestly can’t think of a bigger non-story. Who gives a shit about ai.com? In another thread about this I saw people praising this move as some kind of genius 4D chess idea. That it used to redirect to ChatGPT and now it goes to some silly xAI venture of Musk’s was some huge bait and switch. If you were _seriously_ affected by that change I don’t think you belong on this website, “that’s how I got to ChatGPT and now it’s changed”, seriously? Are bookmarks black magic to you? Have you never pinned a tab? Do you clear your history every 5 minutes such that typing “ch” doesn’t autocomplete to “chat.openai.com”?

Domain names do not matter, they just don’t. Acquiring certain domain names for millions of dollars after your company is successful (going from “getY.com” or “Yapp.com” to “Y.com”) is mostly a vanity project for execs than it is a smart business decision. Heck, Steam is the leader in computer gaming sales and doesn’t own steam.com (they use steampowered.com), they’re doing just fine. In the age of search engines no one cares what your domain is.
The positive effect of road is almost everywhere ruined by the lower density that car-based city planning cause, and by traffic. Sure you can move good farther and faster, but in fact you're still supplying the same amount of people and companies, so the net effect is zero. It can only work if you're:

- space-constrained so your urban density doesn't reduce because of cars

- have very good public transportation so that most people stay off the road no matter what, otherwise traffic makes your cars too slow to bring anything.

These conditions are almost never met, but maybe they are in the Netherlands as an exception to the rule.
The US unemployment rate and total unemployed people is at its lowest point in at least 20 years.
IMO there are rarely ever stressful situations, that are not somehow the fault of those managing a project. They can occur, and then they are due to totally unforseeable outside influences.

But most influences (be it internal or external) that can make projects stressful are totally predictable and there should already be strategies how to deal with them in an unstressful manner in the drawer somewhere.

What you can find more often is shops that don't even manage to organize qhat should be an ordinary, boring, slow day in an unstressful manner. And the worst thing is that they gain nothing by that. Some seem to be even proud of how stressed things are (they confuse stress with productivity).
Even Mexican cities like Guadalajara and basically every pueblito are more hospitable.

You can walk from your home to a cafe or corner shop for fresh produce almost everywhere I lived in Mexico.

Not until I moved back to the US did I remember how us sad Americans (or at least Texans) have to pile into a car just to drive to a cafe, though inside the city/suburbs this is also caused by zoning laws.

Granted, I'm just ranting. But I forgot how bad it was. Fortunately, some of this is very slowly changing. Even Houston is laying down more bike paths: https://houstonbikeplan.org/houston-bike-plan-map/
Does that include corporate zoom contracts?
You really don't want to pay 'list' for this kind of thing. Good luck with your search!
Netherlands (1100/sqm) has a lower population density than New Jersey (1200)

The entire eastern seaboard from Boston down to Washington has a population of 50 million and a density of 900/sqm, 3 times the density of France, and 50% higher than Germany, and similar to Benelux (1000/sqm, 30 million)

The "America is big" argument doesn't really apply when you look at regions. Southern California is similar density to Italy and Switzerland.
Genuine question: What is the difference with electroporation, except they did it on a living organism?

Less traffic might mean you don't need a 4 lanes road and less maintenance maybe ? You don't think it would impact budget ?
> Cooking delicious dirt-cheap meals is easy, and doesn’t take an unreasonable amount of time out of your day.

...depends on what you find "unreasonable". The internet is full of delicious "10 minute" recipes or "30 minute" recipes or whatever, but that doesn't count the amount of time you spend at the grocery store, cleaning your kitchen, washing your kitchen towels, (un)loading your dishwasher, etc.

The reality for me is that I spend maybe 10 hours each weekend shopping for groceries and pre-preparing things that I need to have on hand in the freezer/fridge to even be able to cut the workload to only an hour on a weekday. This adds up to 15 hours a week, so it's maybe half the hours I spend each week being truly productive at work. By some measure, that's actually a lot.

And I don't do it because I enjoy doing it. I do it, because I'm forced to. And I don't think my expectations are unreasonably high either: Not living in a major city and spending a ton of money on eating out, and not wanting to fill my body with additives from processed foods is basically what's forcing me.
WFH is here to stay and I really wish companies like business insider would stop trying to pretend otherwise. The cat is out of the bag.

Small, innovative startups that don’t care about the corporate bullshit will always use it as a strong lever that FAANG may or may not be willing to pull. I’ve now worked at 2 startups over the past 4 years who were remote-first culture, and probably 80% FAANG salary. Easy decision for me.
A very large portion of the goods from Rotterdam to Germany are transported either by rail or by boat. It arrives either in containers or in bulk, so transporting it using trucks makes little sense.

The actual nuke stayed in the silo. Privacy subversion + drm. If you can scan anybodies phone or pc and can categorize the contenting pirated and not pirated. Pirated content, is in theory one right holder lawsuit away from being pure profit. Thus such a scan result could be placed in the books as a sellable asset. But going for these assets would kill the privacy violation market forever..
No, the skits are, per interviews with the writers, about the fact that SoCal conversations bring up driving instructions far more than in New York City where the show is based. This also reflects in the skit in the mention of finding parking. But in the context of this thread, the skits do support SoCal use of “the”.
IANAL but buildings and companies are allowed to have specific policies that are stricter than national and state policies. You need any of the above.
Metropolitan Transit Authority. Runs subways and busses in NYC--probably some other transit modes too.
Just try living in China for a few years and tell me that mainland Chinese aren’t more nationalistic than the USA. Wolf warriors aren’t just a movie meme these days, Nationalism is full on promoted and basically required by the state not everyone is just paying it lip service.
Ask HN: Framework for scaling SaaS to 10M ARR?
We're a 10 persons bootstrapped SaaS company, we reached 2 million ARR and we want to scale to 10 mil ARR without outside investments.

What books or other learning materials do you recommend for a founder at this stage?

The main challenges are hiring, marketing and sales (I'm a tech founder) and I don't have much knowledge in this space besides some hiring experience.

We also don't have a clear structure of the company, we don't have many processes and I think to scale up I need to put more time on management part of the business.

Would love any insights from founders or top level employees that were in a similar situation.

Thanks

I never would have guessed a black menu bar / banner on a website would be triggered by someone dying. Not saying it’s a bad thing in any way - I just wouldn’t have any reason to relate the two things without reason.

I enjoy dense and quality mass transportation, which is often faster and cheaper in large cities.

However, the trigger that made me buying a car was to start having kids. Between groceries, medical visits and leisure, it started to be very, very complex to manage it without a car.

Most public transportation infrastructure is hostile to strollers and babies; you don't want to see a crackhead do his thing next to your newborn (classic in the french subway); peak hour in a bus is hell with a baby; taxis often won't take you if you don't have a child seat, which is quite inconvenient, etc etc.

Until we solve those problems, and I believe we won't, then I'll use my car.
Well, I for one concur that the highway is kind of a "continuos source" of noise, but that is precisely the reason I actually prefer it over that of tracks/trains, and I think most people do too...

It doesn't really matter which "exhaust" technology is used; at highway speeds that is the most irrelevant part of the noise (the pollution side is another story), with the air/wooshing sounds dominating heavily.

That's very small for an automotive product, particularly when you don't have a much bigger follow-up order on your timeline. Around million units is the normal volume, and it's where companies like Qualcomm will start to talk to you.

Many companies are a lot more friendly to small customers, though.
Ah I see, understood, thank you.
What user content does Zoom the company have access to? Connection metadata, call video, call audio..?
From past threads, I thought your problem was that you're depressed about not seeing people in the office. Now it's people walking their dogs too much? ;p
Regulations around selling food are far more brutal than "ride sharing". It varies by state in the US, but generally speaking unless you keep your income below certain dollar amounts and stick to things like jam and pickles, you need to operate out of a commercially licensed and inspected kitchen.

Far better to do as hoc, personal arrangements than try to scale it into a fully fledged market.
It’s maddening since I noticed burnout tends to happen at peak career, so added onto everything you are where you aspired to be, but can’t do it, even though you know you could if this weren’t holding you back. I think our career, with impostor syndrome creating huge stress early in the career, pressure to move up mid career, then burnout as you turn that corner. The stress and pressures never really let up, until you learn some way to understand them differently and relate to them in a way that doesn’t hurt you. For me learning to be myself, the inner self that’s simply aware and not striving or desiring, not restlessly unsatisfied with what I’ve not done or should have done differently, or worried about how X pan out, or what Y will say about something, etc etc. Simply trusting myself, my abilities, my passions, and being in each moment as it happens was what meditation taught me and it was what helped me through my burnout.
It does apply because just like America NL is still divided up into provinces so 'Federal' level in the United States is the same as 'Country' level in NL.

You can't compare 'New Jersey' with the Netherlands (though, you could compared it to say the province of Utrecht) they are at different levels in the 'org' and that has massive effects for things like public transport. In order to get coast to coast public transport you'd have to take the whole of the country (the United States) into account and then you'll find that that average population density suddenly matters a lot.

Of course you can always chop up that big country into many small pieces and then focus on the few that are above the average of any other country but that's not a useful thing to do.
Why has economic growth slowed when innovation appears to be accelerating? [pdf]

…secure basic human rights for themselves.

This isn’t a claim that everyone agrees this is literally a basic human right. It’s a colloquialism to emphasize the author’s view that this is something that should have been granted to the workers long ago and that it is appalling that it wasn’t.

Please don’t get hung up on semantics. Use a different phrasing if it pleases you to do so.
Yeah exactly
In the context of NYC, it's the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the entity in charge of most of NYC's public transit (subway, buses, etc).
If you don’t get paid when you are sick, you are in essence being punished for being sick.

Not being punished for being sick is a basic human right.

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights entered into force in 1976. The human rights that the Covenant seeks to promote and protect include:

the right to work in just and favourable conditions;

the right to social protection, to an adequate standard of living and to the highest attainable standards of physical and mental well-being;

the right to education and the enjoyment of benefits of cultural freedom and scientific progress.
This is increasingly difficult as you have more mouths to feed. Not only would you need to produce a very high yield, you need the space for it.

The balance for us is to make only 2-3 separate dinner meals per week and have leftovers. That way we have some variety but don't have to cook every night (plus when we do cook, we don't mind spending the extra time for a delicious meal. If you're cooking on a time constraint you want a super-fast one-off).

Breakfast for me is a solved problem, I just have overnight oats with fixings. Lunch is whatever, usually eggs, legumes, sardines, tofu.
