Israeli here. Please forget what you know about the parents-children patters in your own country whn you think about Israel. Absolute majority of ultra-orthodox community is locked inside. In fact it consists of dozen offractions, hostile or very hostile to each other internally but standing together when questioned, accused or attacked from outside. But these fractions vary from those serving in the army or working for IT to Taliban-like sect where women wear full black burkas so only eyes are visable (800 or 900 live in Jerusalem).
Majority of their children go to segregated religious schools where neither languages nor math, history (beyond Thora) or sciences are taught. Yes they stay in community and have little incentives to leave it. They reproduce ultra-orthodox behaviour and values in every generation. Normal number of children in each family 6-10. Apartments with 4-6 bedroom are normal in Israel and you can find 8 or 9-bedroom ones so no problem from this side.
Now they demand sex-segregated events and beaches for all (UO beaches are strictly segregated).
And Israel i s a religious state. Recently a cook at the military base was quite punished for making warm food (=cooking) for soldiers returning from real fighting with shooting, etc. Neither cook not soldiers were religious.
The prize is making well informed decisions.
When I was living in Thailand, during the weekends I volunteered for an organisation that would make carts using PVC pipes for dogs who could not walk. Those PVC pipes are crazy resilient!

Yeah, I'd like to come to your defense here. While I do prefer working from home, I totally get what you're saying about the routine of walking to work.

I used to bike commute about 7 miles each way up and down some intense hills; it was part of my routine, and I had to do it. Now that I'm working from home, sure, I could go out and ride 15 miles every day, but it becomes a matter of discipline.

Same with socializing. I tend to prefer solitude, so socializing, like exercising, now requires discipline – I have to make myself do it – whereas before it was baked in, and unavoidable.

People recommending a dog aren't wrong. I do have a dog now, and walk at least 5 miles a day. My dog is an idiot so I can't really do the dog-park thing, but if you have a non-idiotic dog, there's some socialization to be gained there, too. BUT: it's a big commitment, and will have an impact on big life decisions later on like what apartment you can rent, whether you live in a city or a suburb, how easy it is to take a vacation or travel abroad, etc., so it's not like it's a no-brainer or an easy solution.
What did it use as sources for that?
Yah, but since this doesn't need to contain air(pressure), or hold a tube in place, it could be made out of some leather, fungus, whatnot?

ha 20 minutes. Some days I waited for the bus longer than that. I waited because in Sydney the bus is on-time about 15% of the time. If you miss it, you wait an extra hour.

Not sure where you live, that's got a 20 min commute, but most people either live in a concrete prison to reduce the commute, or spend 2 hours a day on a bus/train.

I do know this.. if you worked from home, you could get all that you've outlined, and likely spend a pile less on rent/mortgage. Others who work with you would also get to see their kids before bed.
That's a very disingenuous recap, the commenter was complaining about Apple opposing and derailing right to repair legislation. Apple doesn't just refuse to provide parts either, they're increasingly serializing parts such that perfectly working components from 2 brand new Apple devices can't be swapped between them.

The channel has 500k subscribers, so it's probably a full time job/business. I wouldn't be surprised if they take shortcuts by having parts made off camera by "helpers".

I had to keep reminding myself this was written in the 1930s (because of already mentioned confusion around the word "liberal" in the US). But it's a sort of sweet story tracing the liberal ideals of Jefferson and company through to Old Hickery (Jackson) and his rural populism and why the progressive movements can be seen as an outgrowth of that original liberalism. Would read again.

Yeah. The "day job" has always been nothing more than a means to
better ends. Everything worthwhile, exciting, and satisfying I've
achieved in life was in the gaps between doing something I could use
my time better for. Like Twain said - "don't let schooling get in the
way of your education", similarly I think ones "work" happens despite
employment, rarely through it. In this way "capitalism" is a horrible
waste of human capital. Imagine what Ludgate might have achieved if
not counting penny corns. I hope for a world for children who'll get a

The author has a good point here. But how actionable is most information out there?

It probably also varies on what information individuals are able to (and want to) take action.

I feel like some social media thing should probably already exist, where people find each other to take action together.

Anyone knows of such a forum, group, subreddit, channel, mastodon instance, or whatever?

You're expecting a very high level of expertise for a tool that so many use incidentally. Most don't actually know how transaction isolation works, especially as the fine detail varies between databases. It's incredibly common to believe that databases actually are ACID by default and that is repeated far and wide.

For the last, I was pointing out that people don't necessarily know when they hit race conditions or other transaction isolation faults; they're one of the hardest things to debug or notice. It would be easy to believe that a transaction that confirms a file update would not take a user over their quota and then updates the file would, per ACID, actually ensure the user doesn't exceed their quota. But the default transaction isolation levels don't provide that.

Sgitr is a great book and gives a real appreciation of how Ernon could have happened and will happen again. The perfect storm of hands off management and belief that ideas are more important than execution, plus the usual greed and slippery slope of covering small frauds with increasingly bigger ones. Other than Skilling and Fastow, they weren't all bad guys, I hope I'm never caught in a situation like that.

Also interesting is that sgitr is almost identical to "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou (sp?) about Theranos. Most of the same elements were present in that fraud.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to autoimmune disorders, but through a larger mechanism. As I (a layman, not a doctor) understand it, the autoimmune disorder phenomenon is now thought to be the result of two things:

a) DNA from viral infections in previous generations (HERV, Human Endogenous Retro-Viruses), and

b) infection with a similar virus.

The HERV gives autoimmune diseases a genetic component, which is why not everyone gets them, and the infection with a similar virus (like Epstein-Barr for multiple sclerosis) triggers the body to start attacking itself because it finds the HERV. Vitamin D can help suppress the expression of HERV, so vitamin D deficiency can contribute to the problem—but it's not the root of the problem.

> but owning a company IMHO seems like public Information.

Why? What is a legitimate reason for anybody (except a tax authority, a bank or a court of law) to need to know who owns a business? I'm curious if there are any. For my whole life I never wanted to know this about any business. If a company would wrong me badly enough I would sue itself, then a court of law would summon the owner if necessary to resolve the case. How owning a company makes seriously more sense to be public information than owning anything else like a bookcase, a MacBook, a language skill or an HN account?
Just to be a stickler on copyright: your comment repeats a harmful falsehood. It's important to call it out as people begin to think it's normal, leading them into peril.

It is not fair use to take any amount of a copyrighted work and reproduce it arbitrarily.

While fair use involves some amount of unauthorised copying, this is secondary to the primary purpose - such as news reporting, reviews(e.g. criticism), teaching and research etc. Additionally fair use only covers the amount necessary to inform. You can't take a film, splice it up and call it research.

Fair use explainers are available at the links below. For ordinary people it's worthwhile understanding your rights and the boundaries of those rights.

My #1 issue as an engineer is running out of steam. By the end of a feature development I really struggle to force myself to end it properly. To not rush the testing. To update all the documentation. To fix the discovered quirks “properly.”

I think it may be related to ADHD because I’m getting paid the same and there’s no rush to move onto something else. The work environment is quite good.

My current coping mechanism is to work on two (but never more) projects concurrently and swap between them every few days.

> losing SELinux labels makes it difficult to restore a backup of the root filesystem on distros that use SELinux

True, but one should get into the practice of creating persistent policies rather than ad-hoc `chcon`'s all the time, so that a `restorecon -FR /` always restores all SELinux labels to the intended state, then the biggest hassle is just booting into initramfs shell to mount rootfs and `touch /.autorelabel`
Essentially a meaningless term then. Everyone in mainstream politics has to present some kind of simple solution that ignores the complexities of the problem, because you can't pass a complex solution through a media filter and get voters out the other side.

So everything is populist. Again which makes the term meaningless.

Astronomy passionate here.

Didn't read the article, but the only way I see it can be dangerous, could be a heaviest object (star, neutron star, magnetar...) around which the black hole is revolving and the black hole escaping its orbit with a 'sling effect' (i don't know the correct translation in english) directed to our solar system.

If it's not revolving around a more massive object, I think we're safe.

EDIT : I don't want to be alarmist, but there are more unknown dangers coming from space than this simple black hole, stuff like 2021 sg : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_SG

If it doesn't look different, customers might not know it's a different product than before due to the quantity change, and won't be prompted to investigate further.

Indeed, if the packaging is the same except for the quantity labels, then you don't, in fact, know it's smaller, because both the quantity change and the packaging change has been calculated to hide that fact from you. That's the problem being solved here.

With a proper packaging change, on the other hand, your confusion is resolved within seconds, when you read the packaging, which can include whatever explanatory info the manufacturer decides to put there. And if it's not resolved? The manufacturer should do better to explain.

There is a time and a place for every purpose. Unfortunately, on site work conditions usually add a lot of friction to getting focused work done. Being potentially more optimal for collaboration work does not make up for this.

So, yes, you may hear about the sudden ability of people to get work done at a level they could not do when on site, and so they are happy about this aspect of remote.

It's been a couple of years since we went remote with our teams, and it has been a very positive experience for both collaboration and focus. We found that collaboration worked a lot better when it was actually intentional. It made the result of the collaboration more high value and strategic.

If you are depending on people accidentally bumping into one another for collaboration to occur, then you are being very poorly led.
Pretty much not for me. I both have a bunch of products imported from receipts over the years, and I remember many per 100g prices for products I regularly buy.

My hunch is that this club won’t work because it fundamentally is just another distraction from the goal here: which is to actually do something. Just do it.

(Digression) “One of the realizations has been that I read too much, take too many notes, yet don’t really do anything with this new information.“ I feel the underlying reason for this is due to years of the education system drilling into our heads the value of notes and memorisations for the purpose of exam taking. But once you are out of the system, this technique becomes useless as it excels at one type of thing. However, it’s also ironically the technique that brings success as cause you did well in your exams / interviews, you can do the job . I think once you “do things” though it’s a whole different ball game.

Thanks for that. Also, overlapping skill is less useful than you make it out to be. They also all have arms and eyes. That’s not what sets them apart.

At least not in this article so I cannot be sure what this is about.

The fact this article starts out with referencing big companies and leading positions - AKA status and power - also signals that these people he regards so highly are at least also talented politicians and/or entrepreneurs.

Interesting study. I wonder why they compared only to background incidence (2014 - 2019) and not also to contemporaneous unvaccinated people (as a separate arm)? Here they draw the conclusion that the vaccine does increase risk of myo/peri-carditis for a specific age group but that it’s lower than the risk of that same AE triggered by COVID infection. But it seems like they’d have the data to just as easily directly compare the vaccinated group to the contemporaneous unvaccinated group and get really good info from that?

If you don't mind saving the file to disk, you can do:

sqlite3 -newline '' ':memory:' "SELECT data FROM zipfile('eurofxref-hist.zip')" \
| sqlite3 -csv ':memory:' '.import /dev/stdin stdin' \
"select ...;"

Doing this without a temporary file is tricky; for example `readfile('/dev/stdin')` doesn't work because SQLite tries to use seek(). Here is a super ugly method (using xxd to convert the zipfile to hex, to include it as a string literal in the SQL query):

curl -s https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist.zip \
| { printf "SELECT data FROM zipfile(x'"; xxd -p | tr -d '\n'; printf "')"; } \
