Is anyone else sick of the "European Parliament" deciding the rules for the rest of the Internet? I know I sound like a dumbass American here, but I feel like there's gotta be a way for the EU to get what they want without bothering everyone else in the world constantly...

The issue is that they keep enacting laws that have good intentions, but are written poorly and without any sort of experience in the technical realm. This results in the laws' implementation being filled with weird loopholes that you can use to get around the extra work while still maintaining the legality, but completely missing the intention of the law in the first place. It just seems like a massive waste of time to me.
Just convert using most up-to-date source time zone into UTC, then proceed as usual. The point is that the event is not actually fixed in time, but affected by local law that can arbitrarily move times of all scheduled meetings by an hour or so.

It would be nice if get get rid of DST so that we wouldn't have to special case situations that only happen once every half century, though.
Completely ancedotal, but I've taken minoxidil and finasteride for a little over a year. I took a break from minoxidil only for a few months and found my hair grew considerably slower than when I was on both. I think this makes sense given what minoxidil is supposed to do, which is not "save the hair" but, as I understand it, accelerate the hair growth cycle

Let's exchange feedback to grow our businesses
Hey guys,

I have been working on an idea for a product that is meant for indie hackers, but before developing it further I need to validate the idea. I'm sure there must be a lot of other indie hackers out there that are at a similar stage or someone that needs feedback on their product at a later stage—so let's exchange feedback.

I'd like to give you a brief description of the product and ask you 6-7 questions. I'm happy to do the same for you or if you prefer a different type of feedback.

If you're interested, send me a dm on X at felixheikka

Thanks!
That's a big claim. Have you seen their product? It's basically a collection of 10-15 distinct cloud security products - CDR, data classification, vulnerability scanning, asset inventory, etc. etc. etc. all working together.

I see you added "which you’re not going to notice unless you ever stop taking it."
I'm not denying that the problem exists, but I don't think Alderon provided enough data to come to a conclusion, unlike on the desktop, where it's supported by other parties in addition to Alderon's data (where you can largely point to 14900KS/K/non-K/T, 13900KS/K/non-K/T, 14700K, and 13700K being the one affected)

Right now, the only example given is HX (which is a repackaged desktop chip[^], as mentioned), so I'm not denying that the problem is happening on HX based on their claims (and it makes a lot of sense that HX is affected! See below), but what about H CPUs? What about P CPUs? What about U CPUs? The difference in impact between "only HX is impacted" and "HX/H/P/U parts are all affected" is a few orders of magnitude (a very top-end 13th Gen mobile SKUs versus every 13th Gen mobile SKUs). Currently, we don't have enough data how widespread the issue is, and that makes it difficult to assess who is impacted by this issue from this data alone.

[^]: HX is the only mobile CPU with B0 stepping, which is the same as desktop 13th/14th Gen, while the mobile H/P/U family are J0 and Q0, which are essentially a higher clocked 12th Gen (i.e., using Golden Cove rather than Raptor Cove)
How do European timezone rules bother you?
That has nothing to do with the European Parliament. Or not in the general case. If you're interested, dig yourself into the changelog of tzdata. Timezones are inherently political.
> But GCIRS 13E appears to be 26,000 light-years away. Hint: 3.16 light-years x 20 is not even close to 26,000 light-years.

The article isn't describing how far away from Earth IRS 13 is. It's describing how far from the galactic center it is (0.1 light-year, not 26,000 light-years).

To help narrow down what the author is referring to by "one end of our solar system to the other", one can divide 0.1 light-year by 20 to get 0.005 light-year, which is about 316 AU. I'm going to assume th⁹at the reference is to the heliosphere, then, since it's apparently about 300 AU across:

"The Sun's stellar-wind bubble, the heliosphere, a region of space dominated by the Sun, has its boundary at the termination shock. Based on the Sun's peculiar motion relative to the local standard of rest, this boundary is roughly 80–100 AU from the Sun upwind of the interstellar medium and roughly 200 AU from the Sun downwind."[1]

Well, Wiz's founders reportedly made $10-$30 million each on the Adallom sale. It might be about the money but it's not like they need it.
My personal taste is to store a day, a time, and a regional timezone (like Europe/Berlin) for calendar-like uses.
From the explanation here it sounds completely opposite concept, they download the server and check it rather than doing the checks on production environment
You're confusing time with calendar.

If I want to meet an alien species in Jupiter we're not going to coordinate using Earth's calendar. Doesn't mean it's impossible to meet just because they don't know Earth's calendar, we just have to specify a point in TIME without resorting to Earth's calendars. And points in TIME don't depend on timezone changes. Points in the calendar do.

A "timezone" is a map from point in time to point in the calendar. And a "timezone change" is an operation that takes a point in time from one point in the calendar to a different point in the calendar.

> The quirk is that the offset to UTC might not be static because of timezone changes,

An offset to UTC by definition does not depend on timezone, the same way that integers don't depend on timezones. 5 is 5 regardless of the timezone. If I say offset=3711, that has nothing to do with timezones.

You're confusing time with calendar.
How do you handle safety concerns when moving your business to new city/country?
Hey guys,
I've been developing a tool aimed at helping businesses make better decisions about where to set up their offices and how to keep their teams safe in places like San Francisco/cities with greater safety issues. I gather data from over 100 sources to provide comprehensive safety and quality of life reports of various districts, and we use AI to predict potential risks + make it in more human language kind of report that will help the company with enough information about a final location decision.

I’m curious—if you’ve ever been involved in moving your company to a new city or state/country, what were the biggest challenges you faced regarding local safety? Did you ever feel you lacked enough information to make an informed decision?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Thanks!

> You don't really get that social messaging, especially since some people never update their status, or worse yet are eternally "do not disturb".

My experience is, the "social messaging" isn't necessary there: you can just send a message via slack or what not, and wait for the recipient to reply. If they have notifications disabled, you can wait for them to come to a stopping point enough to check their messages and reply. After all, such a configuration is generally implemented to avoid the in-person or digital version of someone shouting for immediate attention.

> Only thing harder than befriending remote coworkers is trying to keep up with flaky meetup members you see once and never again

Having coworkers on friendly terms is nice, but it sounds like you might be falling into the trap I mentioned, of seeking deep friendship there, rather than outside of work. This misaligns incentives: whereas someone might want an RTO just so they can more easily befriend people (a captive audience, no less), coworkers might just want an amicable, effective working relationship, which can be had in-person or remotely. The latter is more important for a company to consider.

> if you could solve this conundrum (I've tried for some 6 years now)

Sure, I've solved it and don't mind helping you do the same! I don't know what all you've tried, so this list may duplicate some of your efforts:

- Go to one meetup consistently? It's unlikely that all of them have so much churn that you never see a single person twice after going several times.

- When you meet someone at a meetup, ask them questions that show you are genuinely interested in them as a person. If you want further friendship, ask them to hang out sometime later that week (yes, a play date). Take down their phone number, reach out.

- Ask them to hang out again, after you have hung out previously. Repeat this process.

- Repeat this process for many potential friends.

- Try Bumble BFF? The message here is that friendship is dating anyways, and you have to show someone you want to have the kind of relationship that you genuinely seek, and always be closing, and consider it a numbers game, because not everyone wants to be in a relationship.
A dynamically detected bounding box (cat) overlapping with a predefined bounding box (bowl) would be less than 50 lines of python if you use openCV. Discriminating raccoons and cats would probably be another 50 lines if you use some pre-trained ML model.

Adding an electric scale to the bowl would certainly cut down the false positive rate you're going to get (from the cat, safe to say the raccoon will always be eating if it overlaps the bowl).
Since this is related to a 'sugar', I wondered if the (keto) diet could have an impact.
The metabolic cycles of deoxyribose are mainly related to DNA metabolic pathways, which isn't really related that is the glucose/insulin metabolism.
In particular, these DNA pathways are very reliant on nutrient and vitamins (folic acid, B6, B12, ...), , so that is the first thing to take into account in the diet.

But further than that, there are other ways it can majorly impact DNA repair.
For instance ATP production, and there is extensive research showing that cell inflammation is reduced by ketosis, and so by different mechanisms (reduction in oxidative stress, BHB metabolism, etc).

Also note that in the other direction, the keto diet can promote hair loss in two ways. The first is short term, as the body takes one month to adjust from high-carb diet to low-carb, so it may cause a short nutrient deficiency. The second is long term, in the case of "dirty keto" diet.
It is an approach where people only cares about getting the macro values right (that is a proportion of about 70% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates), and does not care about nutritional value. So industrial highly-processed food-stuff instead of veggies. This can cause serious nutrient deficiency that is really harmful.
You seem to be half-way right. Wiz took 1.9B total. The last 1B was on $12B valuation and the previous rounds, except series A where i don't see data, were also under 10%. So, yes, the investors probably own about a half.
The interesting thing about design is that once you combine the good parts from preexisting approaches (not least because those are patterns familiar to users already), relevant first principles (visual hierarchy, legibility), forward thinking (sustainable architecture with flexibility in the right places), and the context of your specific circumstances and goals, you most likely will end up with something sufficiently original without making an extra effort in that direction—and, rather than being an artist’s whim, it would be true beauty arising from function.
Yes, and sadly yes.

Yeah. It's difficult to keep track, especially in cash games. But to be pro is to treat it as a business. I completely agree.
I don't think the diffs are usable that way. They're actually more like an "undo log" in that the snapshot space is taken by "old blocks" when the actual volume is taking writes. It's useful for the same reasons as volume shadow copy: a consistent snapshot of the block device. (Also this can be very bad for write performance as any writes are doubled - to snapshot and to to the real device)

Timezones will bend your mind, especially around the transition times.

Assuming your timezone jumps forward one hour for daylight savings time and falls back one hour for transition to standard time...

When your time skips forward one hour, your 1 hour event may now be displayed as spanning two hours - the second hour will not be reachable/does not exist.

When your time falls back one hour, your 1 hour event may now show as spanning 2 hours or 0 hours.

Timezones are a man-made construct so don't hardcode values cause things will change...

People who read blogs, especially in the software industry, are still a tiny minority.

There are maybe tens of millions of software engineers, designers, product managers, entrepreneurs and other tech-adjacent workers in the world. HN is one of the most popular tech sites among hardcore techies, at least in my circles.

And yet the top posts of all time get thousands of upvotes. Add 10x lurkers and you get tens of thousands of users. That's still 0.1% of the total above.

> Everyone wants a nice world. But this misses the point of what I'm saying.

No, it doesn't.

> If you give up lots of your money and resources to politicians and corporations, do you think you will get a nicer world? Even if that's what they promise?

Ummm.. we're already doing that. The status quo is corporations, look at this:

https://companiesmarketcap.com/largest-companies-by-revenue/

About 20% of those primarily work on fossil fuel extraction and distribution. On top of those there are about 15 ICE vehicle manufacturers that directly rely on fossil fuels for now, then a bunch of pharma companies that do the same (they would obviously get an exemption until we find a better solution).

This premise that somehow combating climate change is a corporate plot while not combating climate change is a grassroots initiative is false.

You're acting like we're a bunch of hippy libertarian hunter-scavengers doing our own things. We aren't. We live in societies quite tightly controlled by corporations. We should make them invest that money we already hand over into things which are SUSTAINABLE long term.

> The climate change idea has been promoted since the seventies.

It's not an "idea", it's a scientific theory with lots of data backing it. An "idea" is what Uncle Joe had last night when he decided to spend thousands of bucks on his huge truck to be able to roll coal.

> For an example of broken promises, you should re-watch Al gore's first movie. People loved the film at the time. Count the number of failed predictions. Is it ok to shout fire in a crowded cinema? Is it ok if you are a politician, the fire is fake, and you have fire retardant blankets to sell? Or is that just business?

You know what, I've decided that I not only HATE climate change, I also HATE:

* micro plastics

* Great Pacific Garbage patch and all the plastics thrown randomly into nature

* particulate emissions from vehicles

* including tire and road wear particulate emissions

* loud vehicles everywhere in cities, taking up to 25% of ALL space in cities

* heat islands due to said vehicles needing flat concrete/asphalt surfaces EVERYWHERE

* etc.

I don't want to return to the Stone Age, I love tech. But this current generation of tech is long overdue for getting trimmed around the edges.

Walkability, bikeability, general liveability, electric bikes, electric mopeds, electric cars, induction hobs, electric ovens, heat pumps, good insulation for homes, higher density where there is demand for more housing, work from home, etc., etc., are ALL just good ideas for improving quality of life.

Even if climate change doesn't happen.

I'm not shocked that Google cannot build things these days. There are of course good engineers in areas like the Linux kernel, Golang etc., but in other areas it is just show and politics.

One of the political teams was fired recently, so perhaps Google is in the process of reversing course, but that is just a guess.
It would be great, if we talk about a topic like this, to give more insight why they think to simplify complex problems with the word immigrants.

I'm also pretty sure that people on hn are people who generally work globally (take opportunities remotly without even immigrating anywere), travel and or consider moving around the world as they see fit.

And your statistic is really interesting (pure curiosity) but most immigrants are coming on a temp visa. How much impact have 80.000 permanent visa immigrants in a year for one specific industry?

> A thousand dollars a month? Please, that's enough to pay for a lot of education like you wouldn't believe.

Alas, it would probably not be. People like to compare apples and oranges in discussions like this. UBI is such a game-changer that we probably wouldn't be able to predict how prices would react once such a thing is enacted. Look at the pandemic stimulus worldwide, and the inflation since.

If a lot of people had more money on hand, they would: 1) want to spend it; 2) prefer to work less (on average) so they have more time to enjoy spending it. Both of those lead to inflationary pressure, so it's unlikely $1000 in the new system would get you anything near what you currently get with it.
I'm not really sure what you mean, changing the timezone of a country is certainly their prerogative and "technical experience" doesn't really have anything to do with it.

The EU is one example here but many other countries have timezone/DST changes, the EU is one of the places that don't change timezones often. The US on the other hand has such variety in timezones and DST observance, not even following state borders, that it's a real pain to support.
