I'm secretly and slowly building a form building application. The idea is that in my association we don't want to rely on Google Forms. And we only want to use open source software. We are using FramaForms which is a bit clunky and doesn't have this feature that updates a spreadsheet automatically. I thought that I could just create something that would answer both concerns.

But a good open source forms app would probably change everything, I would gladly stop my small project (in favor of contributing to an existing one for instance). I see there is integration with a lot of products, including Google Drive and Google Sheet.

Would an integration with Nextcloud be considered?

Congratulations on open sourcing this, we need open source and self hosted form solutions. Critically private data is put in forms and that get sent to big private companies like Google, which is not ideal.

As other commenters say, you might want to use AGPL indeed, but I guess you carefully thought this decision.
I read someone speculating that the performance issue was intentional, so infected machines could be easily identified by an internet wide scan without arousing further suspicicion.

If this is or becomes a widespread method, then anti-malware groups should perhaps conduct these scans themselves.
Babies are great at fuzzing UIs. My 6mo daughter managed to call my wife from my locked iPhone, which I didn't even know was possible. The necessary sequence is:

1. Attempt to unlock phone
2. Tap "Emergency"
3. Tap "Medical ID"
4. Tap the emergency contact to call

She's also subscribed us to Amazon channels multiple times playing with the Fire TV remote.
I dunno, I have a pretty weird name from before it became a fad. I’ve enjoyed the benefit of things like instructors remembering my name. It is small but a nice perk. Not sure if it would apply now that everyone has a weird name.

Also if your name gets autocorrected maybe it’ll throw the data aggregators off your scent.
It is a tiny amount, and absolutely it would. Ketogenic diet guides generally suggest aiming for 20-50g carbs per day.
I'm sympathetic to that view but most engineering disciplines are just interested in having the tool for their toolbox. Their interest in understanding the concepts that allow them to invent such tools is focused on their own discipline, which is not mathematics.

Motivating students with real world applications first is IMO the only real chance to potentially spark their interest in learning broader concepts.
Likely referring to the Japanese-style bidet, aka washlet, which have a built-in dryer so zero toilet paper is required. But even a cheap one without a dryer will drastically reduce the amount of toilet paper required.
My only concern with such articles is the use of "god" and "religion" which only gives the majority of humanity a reason to pray more and kill anyone who disagrees.

Conscious or not, why can't we just continue calling it the universe and continue studying it as usual?
Yeah. If you're outside during a calm day with snow falling, it's unusually quiet because large fluffy snowflakes absorb sound. Fog does something very similar to optical or radio systems. Rain has much bigger droplets and far fewer of them. :)
That's a fascinating extra detail. They really tried to cover all their bases.

There's some plausible evidence here that they may've tried to use alter egos to encourage Debian to update the package: https://twitter.com/f0wlsec/status/1773824841331740708
Maybe try it in a VM, or use second hand thinkpads or similar supported hardware.
Reminds me of an extremely similar case with a long distance microwave link at a mobile telecom provider in Australia that I worked for. They relied quite heavily on microwave link chains and this particular one was in northern Queensland where fixed lines were hard to find and no local engineers were locally present/aware of the changing environment.

Every week day + Saturday, from 7-3 the link would keep cutting out intermittently. Then work fine and the rest of the day and on Sunday… a crane, building a new residential building would operate during those hours right in the middle of the microwave path. Many weeks of theories and time wasted until someone had a chance to visit. :)
What if the "wants to wreck bullshit machines" trait often co-occurrs with the "grandstanding attitude" trait? You'd be unnecessarily restricting the applicant pool because you don't like how they express themselves, which seems pretty dumb given that we're being flooded by bullshit machines.
@ezst I've come across a couple of your comments noting the benefits and shortfalls of the current crop of PKMS. Lots of head

That had me jumping with enthusiam towards Trilium, only to see it's gone into maybe-discontinued mode (https://github.com/zadam/trilium/issues/4620).

This is an underestimated point. The US navy grew from 350 ships in the 1930s to almost 7,000 by 1945. The army was down to 200,000 troops right before the war.

It’s not clear whether China’s industrial capacity is as great as the US was then. But the relatively small size of the Chinese military now isn’t necessarily indicative of much.
Awesomeness.
thank you for sharing!
Terraform believes that the decline in the cost of solar power will make their process profitable in 2027. Fertilizer & ammonia created using green hydrogen may be profitable earlier, lets say 2026.

Seems to me Terraform made the right call by going for the bigger market.

Edit. It looks like they're not ignoring fertilizer/ammonia either: "The company has ongoing discussions regarding prototyping or selling standalone electrolyzers as separate products"

> On top of that, fertilizers such as ammonia are way easier to ship worldwide than natural gas.

That's a big reason why Terraform is doing natgas. The cost of Natural Gas in most of the world is dominated by the cost of shipping. Terraform can produce locally and bypass shipping costs.

I have a cybertruck reservation that I think I'm going to pass on. I like Tesla the brand and the cars, but I have two now with batteries that only went ~70k miles before CAC imbalance is serious enough to risk getting stranded at a supercharger. Maybe if the $14-16k remanufactured battery they want to sell you (including core for your old battery) actually had any new cells in it I wouldn't be so salty, but as it is, I don't think I want another iPhone with wheels.
Yes it does. You're assuming that the median person's income should be affording the median home price. But that's incorrect because it doesn't take into account peoples' existing asset values. Again, if most people have 300k home assets, and then recently high income people competitively outbid each other to raise those assets to 600k prices, only the high income people were attempting to buy a small % of the homes. But, it raised everyone else's prices to 600k. Now they have that as equity, even though their incomes were still like 40k, they're not currently on the market attempting to buy a house, and when they do, they'll have existing 600k equity.
Wow. I always want to run a BSD as my main but then I never have time and revert to the mean :/.

I have some fancy Asus Mesh wifi routers at home. I sit next to the cable modem and one mesh endpoint. My wife sits upstairs. there's an upstairs mesh endpoint but I think neither of us are usually connected to it (mostly serves to extend our connection to go to yard). But when my wife gets up from her desk and walks through our hallway (closer to the non often used mesh endpoint) our internet drops for a bit. My only guess is that the endpoints get mad at meat being in between their back haul? Anyone deal with this and figure out the solution?
Not sure about Germany, but even possession (of small quantities) is decriminalized in many European countries.

AT&T acknowledges data leak that hit 73M current and former users
None of this makes sense in a Master-Feeder model, as the master fund is a partnership between the feeder funds, one US, one offshore for foreign investors

The general partner is not an owner they are a manager. The general partner doesnt have to be a human either it can be another entity or multiple entities

all of this can be hotswapped

Even in a mini-master models or single US entity model, LPs are the owners, GP is just a managing member. “ownership” in the context of this article is ambiguous, but the SEC filings would add the clarity necessary for this discussion, probably “manager” or “controlling person”
this project needs to be stickied. can we do that around here?

For what it's worth, this isn't new, just a new investment. There are a ton of companies in the cell-free biopsy space for early cancer detections, with the biggest name being Grail. We're more or less in the engineering/process improvement stage of early cancer detection, not the pure research stage.
The issue is that hiring new grads only pays off if they stay for at least 3-4 years in my guestimation. If the new grad leaves before that timeframe they were most likely a net negative on the project/company and consumed more resources than they produced. Most new grads are desperate to get a job so they will take anything just to get experience so they can leave a year or two later for a company which they prefer, so unless you are google or facebook you are probably going to have issues retaining newgrads.
We can save the debate about whether AMD can walk and chew gum at the same time :)

The important part is that you’re a (potentially very big) part of the solution: if can get serious adoption via a stemless experience, that’s a major win for free, fair, functioning markets via robust competition sparingly but well-refereed. You’ve won a fan and evangelist at the conceptual level, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing from me about wanting to make sure the stuff I’m moonlighting on supports the platform well, at which time I’d happily do an unbiased write up: I’ve got a bias for functioning markets, not one particular vendor.

Until next time, good luck!
While I take it that you are serious in expressing this, there is no way this could be an actual reflection of the viewpoints actually expressed on Twitter. That seems completely implausible given the scope of the user-bases and just the posts I've seen anecdotally.
There is actually a (very interesting) Pencil Museum in Keswick in the Lake District, UK, near where those first graphite deposits were found. One fact I learnt was that early on, due to its usefulness and scarcity, it became a hugely valuable commodity, transport had to be done in secret or under guard, and the mine owners became extremely wealthy.
> Do we think it's possible they caught everyone infected?

It's not. The CDC only caught this case because they are proactively testing workers at farms that have confirmed animal outbreaks.

The book covers about 500 studies so they can't be all summarized or lumped together.

Some diets that may have short term benefits like weight loss are not good for longevity.

Those who have studied long-lived populations recommend a 95% to 100% diet based on what's worked for our oldest populations.

I couldn't take the book seriously after the "you just need to improve 1% every day" as if improving 1% constantly was somehow attainable by mere mortals. If I can bench press 20 lbs today and improve 1% every day, I'll be bench pressing more than 700 lbs a year from now. Yeah, it doesn't work that way.

If I read 10 pages a day, and improve 1% every day, by the end of the year I will be reading a 370+ page book every day!

This is perhaps one of the dumbest things I've read. And that was supposed to motivate me!?
It is not clear to me that any significant number of deaths were prevented by lockdowns once vaccines were available, only delayed by a maximum of 3 years. Everyone still got covid. Some people didn’t make it through the filter, that’s what new diseases are like.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote (worldwide)

COMPANY

Cuanto (YC19). We're creating tools to help entrepreneurs in Latin America grow their business through Instagram and WhatsApp. Our product is a Shopify-meets-Square for a business run by one person. We believe this will help millions live off the internet.

PROJECTS

1. Financial conciliation: We need help making our conciliation world-class. We're making enough money now that we want to avoid any possibility of a discrepancy. This may involve scraping a few banking partners, integrating with ledger providers or using open source solutions to do it in-house - we want to hear your opinion too. Stack: Rails, PostgreSQL.

2. Whatsapp integration: we want to build a WA bot to help merchants deal with inbound from consumers. Stack: Whatsapp API or whatsapp-web.js, Typescript. This is a big endeavor we want to break up in a few pieces but there's plenty of work to keep the project going if we like working together (custom UI, LLM integration).

3. Rails API performance: we track performance per endpoint using Skylight. Most of these things can be improved by checking we have proper indexes, others require denormalizing/reshuffling the data. Stack: Active Record, Redis, Postgre. You should know your way around Active Record and PostgreSQL indexing.

REQUIREMENTS

Experience with the stack listed.

Examples from past experiences building this kind of system (yes, we want you to have built something like this before and are willing to pay you for your time and experience).

WHY WORK WITH US

These products are enabling a lot of people to live off the internet doing what they love. Our customers are turning passions into revenue, starting companies and quitting their 9-to-5 in a region where human capital is underappreciated.

Send me a message at jose@cuanto.app if you want to know more about the projects and what we're doing.
Whatever the number of dead, it wouldn’t be true for them. If we don’t take precaution X then Y more people die, but that doesn’t mean every X is worth it.

It's a different story when you also print the money!
In the context of the pandemic response, without any specifics on what they got right I think it does.
Yeah honestly, I think you have a completely different expectation and style of usage than what is optimal with LLMs. I don’t have the energy to convince you further, but maybe one day it’ll click for you? No worries either way.

Somewhat tangential question, can someone briefly say how mold is related to cancer?

Also isn't mold somewhat common in American homes?
Gabriel also appears in both the Hebrew scriptures (in the Ketuvim, which only names two angels) and the Gospels, being both the angel who explains Daniel's visions to him, and involved in the revelations for the births of both Jesus and John the Baptist.

Is Michael (or it s cognate) at all common as a name in Mexico? That's a figure that is at least as prominent as Gabriel across the Abrahamic religions (in particular the prominent inclusion in the Leonine Prayers keep it a popular name in many Roman Catholic regions).
I hear you. We're doing exactly that and keeping them in the real world. Absolutely no tablets or devices not connected to a keyboard. I even have an SNES on standby to ease them into consoles.

But I do want to build some level of digital literacy, and most importantly just make sure they learn how to type properly when the time comes. Hence the question, I want to introduce them to tech with extreme caution.
What kind of question is this? Of course it has. The 3-letter-agencies are effectively a black box that command unlimited resources, all the power that can be wrung from a blank check cashed by the US economy, and no oversight except what they allow. What is there to trust?

I would say the most epic fad diet of all time is the Standard American Diet, something that was basically "invented" from the weakest evidence, heavily influenced by corporate interests, politics and still perpetuated to this day despite skyrocketing rates of chronic preventable disease and obesity.

To call a keotgenic diet a fad diet as happens in every HN thread seems to ignore the precedent that ketosis was the primary metabolic status for our ancestors for millions of years. If it wasn't, why are our bodies so precisely designed for it..Just random chance? I dont think so.
My generous interpretation of OP is that during the covid pandemic our precautions that kinda-sorta slowed down covid were adequate to basically remove influenza from the human population as indicated by being the least amount of influenza activity on record[0]

Tell me about your mom's PD/CVD/Diabetes pre-COVID.

Tell me about your family's history with the above.

I'm sure that I lost more friends due to lockdown-induced depression, drug/alcohol relapse and suicide than you lost family to COVID.

If we should have learned anything it's that modern medicine has spoiled our species in that you can now live an excessively long time with extremely unhealthy lifestyles.

Barely two generations ago dying from common colds, flus and even minor cut and scrape injuries was just everyday life. Maybe half of the children in a family might die before reaching adulthood. One particularly strong (lab-engineered) cold made the rounds and people want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend the sky is on fire.

In the context of human history and coronaviruses, COVID-19 is absolutely a nothingburger.
