Show HN: Get notified when sites update their terms of service
After reading about what happened with NightOwl yesterday [0], I thought about what it would take to be aware of things like that in the future. I created ToSNotify to automatically notify you when a website's terms change.

A harder problem I've been thinking through is how to know which terms to track, since it'd be a pain to add every site I have an account with. One idea I had is to automatically get terms for apps you have installed from the app store. Any other ideas/feedback are appreciated!

100% anecdata but my dad had (diagnosed) celiac disease. Did the diet for a while then got stubborn and decided to keep throwing in regular bread and beer rather than be "miserable." Fast forward a couple of years of agonizing pain, first in the gut then in his head, and he had three brain haemorrhages and now lives in 24/7 care with no memories or language in a daydream most of the day. I've long suspected it was gluten induced inflammation, so stories like this are interesting to see.

the category of a website (out of 30 possible categories??) seems orthogonal to whether or not it had embedded video or webgl, which should be pretty trivial to detect from GPU activity without knowing anything about the contents of the page that contains it.
Before covid - we built a shed/bar/office/playroom that I thought I'd get to work in 1 day a week, which is what felt acceptable for whf at the time.

During covid having a place I can shut the door on at the end of the day, was amazing. I watched friends work from kitchen tables, while I had my own office in the garden.

For a while it did 'spoil' it as a playroom/fun room - but I pretty quickly learnt to make it work for me.

Having an office attached to your house is amazing (and is the largest drag for me returning to the office).
It's like me when I create bugs and then I proudly announce that I have found a good fix to my own bug!

Seriously, having Slack as the go-to-option of your team communication is a terrible idea.

There is a reason why we have multiple communication medium.

Public articles - Pull requests - Issue trackers - Internal Wiki - Emails - Chat - Phone calls - Visio - Face to face

They all have pros and cons in any particular situation and we need to reflect which communication medium to use when.

But Slack made group chat so addictive that in many companies all the other communication medium became second-class citizens.

So we have hours longs Slack discussions that spare us minutes of reading a wiki page or discussing on a phone call.
These people confuse an actual allergy with a sensitivity.

Also, it's a pretty weak hypothesis to claim that everyone feels better when eliminating flour and other grains because they're no longer experiencing inflammation from overeating and being overweight.
This is a very articulately worded and elegant response.
The fat used for both diets (LFH and HFD) are lard and soya bean oil. I'd be interested what results they get with tallow or stearic acid.
I moved my company over to Zulip a while back and while I'll admit that it's not quite as polished as slack (the mobile app freezing and having a mildly different UX/features for example) -- it is a lot easier to follow conversations and topics.

It takes about a week to get used to, then people don't want to go back.

Bonus: it can be hosted for free (incl. SSO), though I take the path of paying the authors for their hosted version.

I really don't think I'll go back to Slack; Especially as they're owned by Salesforce and I suspect even more lockin in future and especially rent-seeking behaviour- which always comes from these large acquisitions. (people should be mindful of lock-in for those reasons in my opinion).

I also get massively tilted when non-optional changes to clients happen, like when they completely broke markdown formatting for their style bar, yet still had some markdown formatting enabled which messed up your messages randomly; like not being able to exit code blocks. >_<

Social media can be really helpful or really dangerous. Some groups are strict and full of mycologists. Others are full of people with dangerous ideas and wrong identifications.

A safe way is to start out with a modern regional book which has a list of similar mushrooms and updated view on toxicity. A good book will also tell you which mushrooms are not considered safe to pick because they are impossible or very hard to tell apart from poisonous ones with the naked eye, or when they are too similar but both are fine to eat.

Then you go out to find both the edible mushroom and as many as possible of the similar ones. One or two mushrooms each time. Then when you are completely sure what you are picking you can start eating it and move on to a new delicious mushroom to eat.

Predicting reduced need for labor due to "automation" has been a losing bet since the Luddites. Do the tasks change? Yes. Is more and different work enabled? Yes.

Likewise "outsourcing" could result in a net increase of WFH given that contracting companies already support it.
The snarky answer would be to just leave this link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics.

But to more fully answer the question look to
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_orbit

Notice that the object with an eccentricity of 0.8 has a much faster speed as it approaches the mass it is orbiting. So, to extrapolate, objects with a high eccentricity will be moving much faster as their semi major axis decreases (as they get closer to the mass it is orbiting). Faster means less time to detect the object. Less time to detect the object means we have less time to react to the object. Less time means planet killer.

And keep in mind the time periods we're talking about for some of these objects measure in the tens of thousands of years. So we don't really get a chance to record these objects for "next time".
> It's expensive

Definitely... The market is too small and everything is built by hand. You can get reasonable used ones for 4000-6000€, but you probably know that.

Otoh you save gasoline which pays for itself after a while (3 years in my case, not counting insurance or maintenance).

> it hardly has more space to bring stuff than a normal bike

It's a bit more and it's safe from the elements. Some 4-wheel models have an actual trunk.

> the rain

Doesn't bother me either, riding bicycles in the rain is surprisingly ok.

> I am not claiming to be rational here

Maybe try one out. I was convinced of the concept when I could easily keep up with my SO who was doing 45 km/h in a e-VM during a test ride.

That said: I don't own a VM either because it never made sense... Either my workplace was too close or too far for a VM to make sense. But I think there is a sweetspot of around 20-40km one way, where a VM is a great alternative to normal bikes and cars.
> I would hope they are looking well pat the top 500, top 5,000 or 50,000 perhaps but then the bottom of larger lists also vary more.

How are they going to do that if they only know the website category? Conveniently useful for marketing, though.
I was in an airport a few weeks ago and saw a new array of soundproof "phone" booths fitted with laptop stands and high-output lighting, and it occurred to me that I should have started a business building and selling those over the past 3 years.

Anyway, I'm thinking more about city dwellers who generally live in apartments.
Yeah, no way I can afford to move closer to work when condos/houses nearby are 1.5 million. I will continue to work from home or they can find someone else. I don't mind the office, I do mind the 2 hours lost from my day, 5 days a week.
At This Point, Zoom Could Use Another Pandemic
What you describe is a completely different problem which happens to (poorly, inconsistently and costly) happens to sometimes get solved by open office space.

Having proper knowledge bases and procedures, including how the ask "the team"/seniors "ad-hoc" questions and get feedback reasonable fast is what you want to have to solve that problems IMHO. Because that also tends to work if e.g. some people are sick or gone (knowledge bases) or can't come to the office (e.g. sick kids at home).

Through most important I would say is that communication in remote work is very different to office work and "just throwing slack into the mix" and doing the rest like before isn't going to cut it.

And yes that needs proper tooling, too and yes most of the tooling marked for this purpose today is .... pretty bad, sometimes utter garbage creating more work then they save time. Similar the part of procedures is often completely ignored, too.

I do not have the allergy. I also don't have Celiac disease. (Yes, I have been tested for these, presuming the tests are accurate)

However I do have these symptoms after a few weeks of including wheat in my diet again:

- serious muscle tightness, especially my chest and diaphragm/intercostals

- joint soreness/pain, ankles/wrists/fingers

- constipation

- pimples on my shoulders and chest

- occasional stuffy noses

These symptoms mostly alleviate within a few weeks when I stop eating wheat.

My doctor thinks it's probably some kind of "sensitivity". I don't really know what that means, but she said it's fine to stop eating wheat if that improves my symptoms. So I did. But it tastes so good that every several years I reintroduce it to my diet, and I end up regretting it as the symptoms come back.

Have had this problem with wheat since I was a teenager. Started taking action about it as a young adult. I'm middle aged now.

> Don't they have to pay a fee to Arm for this

Because it's way cheaper than to do everything ARM provides on your own?

Gravitron3 is just using ARM Neoverse-V1 (which AFAIK are years ahead of any RISC-V cores). So they aren't different from Qualcomm/Ampere have been doing so far.

I think Ampere is planning to release a CPU with their own custom cores in the near future though. It's interesting whether Amazon will follow suite or not. It would be very bizarre if they tried switching to RISC-V in the near future though (I do find this semi -fanatical obsession with RISC-V a bit fascinating though but I don't think it's shared by many large corporations outside China..)
Lmao. Anyone who cares about this likely isn't using Windows to begin with, and has already fallen into some Parabola Trisquel rabbit hole.

Microsoft isn't crippling their user experience considering that doesn't benefit them; it's bad-actors cultivating that idea to push people on less-secure platforms, and/or naive Arch Linux first-time installer bros that want to push the idea of a worst desktop experience everywhere for no deep reason.

Microsoft doing whatever they're doing to Windows benefits the average person who otherwise isn't going to deep lengths to improve their security and experience. I want more people to be as-secure as possible considering they'll become bot net contributors otherwise, or leak data that I share with them in some manner.

Probably better to look at passport, if we are only talking about fingerprints. And that is about half of the US? Still not a majority, but I assume a lot of "standard" things aren't majority. I was pointing out that it is getting more widespread.

The original paper doesn't describe how the "wheat gluten" was isolated or where it came from, but one possible confounder is... mold.

Grains generally have high mold content, especially flour and oats. This could be a confounder, or even the actual cause.

I don't think I'll ever forgive Microsoft for what they did to Rare. The reorganization in 2010 put the writing on the wall but it was the decade being forced to make stupid, pointless Kinect games nobody played that really buried it. Now Rare's soul is in live-service game hell, being little more than a support studio for Sea of Thieves. I'll be shocked if Everwild ever comes out.
Gluten causes leaky gut syndrome, which makes people more susceptible to other problems. This inflammation happens regardless of whether you have celiac disease or not. Most people who have problems with gluten actually have IBS because of FODMAPs but low FODMAP food is a niche product. You can make low FODMAP bread with wheat without changing ingredients just by letting the dough sit longer but that cuts into profit margins so it won't be done.

A lot of the back of the envelope math points to new hire failure rates of around 50%, where failure is if the candidate is still there in 18 months.

Only about 19% would be considered "successful" hires.

Also only about 11% were not successful due to purely lacking technical skills. like I'm sure we all have stories about a noob that doesn't know how to do something basic like ssh with a key or something, but in many cases that's not the issue.

I think you are very correct, and I don't like it. There should be more "online books" that are in depth and correct!
I'm in the US, and every employer has asked me for proof that I can legally work in the US. But none of the proof I provide involves biometric data (unless you count the photo on my driver's license as "biometric data"). But I'm a citizen, and I could easily imagine that the requirements might be more strict for noncitizens.
Respectfully, this is an example of rigid thinking that isn't productive or accurate.

Apply marginal thinking the way economists do. People's propensity to return to the office falls on a spectrum ranging from 0 ( the people who are already back in their cubicles ) to 9 ( "You'll need a SWAT team to get me back to the office" ).

A 5 on that scale is a marginal worker. Provide an incentive for them to return, like a nice office, and they become a 4 and return to the office. Now give a nice office to a population of 1000 workers who are distributed evenly over the above spectrum. They all move down by 1, and about 1/10th of them return to the office.

Saying "People who like WFH will never want to return to the office" is only true of the 8's and 9's, not of the marginal worker. They are the ones who respond to incentives.
He doesn't mention yield, which I hear is currently pretty bad on 3nm. And "just route around the bad silicon" might be easier said than done; widespread defects might create too many roadblocks to efficiently move data around your wafer-chip.

One use case I can see this being valuable for is for a client based application and Postgres being a centralized database. The client would just query SQLite and not need to write Postgres SQL.

It was true when "industry" was in the first floor of your house or two houses down on the estate/plantation. This was not that long ago. If you visit historic sites from the 1800s it was extremely common to find workshops among the servant housing. Not only for the estate, but for export to the local community.

Long commutes aren't practical when the roads are bad and the fastest mode of personal transportation is a horse.

It's been wild to see the amount of news stories that came out this summer all at the same time – this enormous back-to-office push that's not at all some kind of commercial real-estate PR campaign.

Anyway, one thing that gets thrown around a lot is the 'hallway conversation'. This idea that work is suffering because people aren't getting together spontaneously, or they're lacking the high-fidelity in-person exchanges, etc, etc.

But the funny thing is, over the years I've been in countless in-person intensive sprints. Week long exhaustive affairs where people are all in a room, brainstorming, planning.

Great ideas happen! But, how many of those sprints actually lead to action in the company? Once the herd-followers force everyone back into the panopticon, what then will they blame the lack of innovation on? Or are we simply pretending that prior to the pandemic every company in the world was truly operating at genius level, and it wasn't largely a by-product of a zero-interest-rate phenomenon?
