Noranett is a grid operator, and like most European grid operators is legally required to operate as a nonprofit. The only reason the revenue has to remain the same is because it costs the same to operate the grid. There are now just fewer people paying for it. More of a "economy of scale makes things cheap" than a "capitalism is bad".

> something physicists have hard time wrapping their head around for some reason

The problem is that it's fundamentally different from anything you can do in classical mechanics. And because of that, attempts to explain it in simple terms with casual language are doomed. And attempts to take shortcuts in reasoning by analogizing it to something from everyday life are doomed.
Actually, you make a great point: these companies attempt to convince employees that they’re not McDonald’s, when that’s exactly what they are.

So for what it's worth here's my experience -- generally not super impressed with supplements, tried cod-liver oil, didn't notice much effect, but after starting to make homemade salmon sashimi from costco salmon (Yes it's a thing, youtube it), I started noticing reduced anxiety and better concentration on days when I did so.

I would eat about 2/3rds of a pound of raw salmon and notice this effect (which would be like $60 or more at a sushi restaurant). I've done this at least 20 times now and never had any issues.

Generally I don't mention the mental effects of the salmon to people because I feel like they wouldn't take it very seriously, but since you're asking and it's on-topic, I thought I'd share.

> Puberty Hasn’t Changed Since the Ice Age

As kids have gotten fat puberty is many years earlier. There is no doubt on this [1]

They can't pretend they are talking genetics, i.e. if you made Ice Age kids fat they also would hit puberty earlier, they don't have the data. It's also not how you'd phrase it.

> puberty had begun by 13.5 years of age—only slightly later than most humans today.

This is years later, for girls is currently less than 10. It's also nonsensical since boys and girls differ.

Until that mindset changes, the disasters will keep coming.

Achieving true "replaceable people" is a major task. I have seen it done (properly), and suspect most folks on this board would be aghast at the compromises that need to be made. I didn't like it.

I managed a team of extremely experienced C++ engineers that were really hard to replace, so I did my best to keep them on board.

As to "artisan"? I don't really care what I'm called. I like coding, and I like writing really good UX.

Only if you believe people aren't responsible for their own actions. Pintos would explode when you're rear-ended due to fuel tank defects. Opioids won't kill you if you take them as your doctor prescribes. Cars in general are a dangerous thing though. Even when they're built to generally accepted standards, they kill about as many people per year as opioids. Just like there's people who abuse drugs, there's drivers who drive recklessly. However, unlike abusing opioids, driving recklessly will kill others.
Students have gotten smartphones at younger and younger ages since you were in school.

They got addicted to the dopamine feedback loop smartphones provide when their brains were even further undeveloped and don't remember a time before that so this is their norm.

Speaking for myself:

One is a personal attack: "we're living in 2 different realities", etc. HN's trigger for this is pretty light, and any time a comment verges onto "you" statements in an unflattering light this tends to be the case. I'm writing this comment carefully considering I pretty much have to use "you" and am considering how it might sound. As dang's explained many, many, many times in the past, how a comment is received is often orders of magnitude harsher than it is written. (I know he's expressed this many times, I can't remember how he phrases it or I'd link instances.)

The other is a nationalistic attack against "America's superior moral compass". Again, the trigger is lightly loaded, reason being that such comments tend to derail discussions.

(Not an HN mod, but I watch dang's mod comments closely and generally understand his reasoning, even where I disagree with it.)

You can make your points more substantively without those swipes. A recent example of my own:

That sounds like present day active safety systems on some cars.

I counted one erroneous steering override every 20 miles on mine until I disabled the feature deep in the car settings menu. (Turning off lane keeping wasn’t enough - the car still overrides steering in “emergencies” by default. It still seems to override sometimes, but it hasn’t done anything dangerous recently).

I talked to people with vehicles that have similar capabilities, all under five years old.

Other than the rivian and tesla owners, every person I talked to experienced similar problems.

The GSMA has a blacklist system. Participating carriers can blacklist a stolen / fraud / nonpayment phone IMEI and all the other blacklist members will agree to also ban that phone from their network. The problem is that people won't make payments, sell the phone for cash, and eventually the phone ends up in places (China, UAE, Nigeria, Russia, ...) that don't participate in the blacklist.
I believe that the iPad behavior you describe is intentional. I’m not sure I’m right here, and there are tradeoffs. I get frustrated with it too. But I think Apple is going for clarity, lack of ambiguity.

If your text remained in place but the control were not focused, what would that control then indicate? In Safari now it _always_ indicates (a) the current page, or (b) your current typing. To do otherwise would be to create a third state: “Used to be typing.” Then it would no longer unambiguously indicate the current state.

This is the crap that makes california stink. After 30+ years, I moved my wife and kids out of SF Bay Area, and I was telling my wife exactly this morning, how surreal of a feeling it is to not think about crime in a new england state. When I would drive around the bay area, I would think about the most recent freeway shooting, or the increase in home invasions in the affluent east bay suburbs, etc. After living in the north east for 6 months, it's such a liberating feeling not watching you back all the time because of crack-pot DAs that allow criminals to loot & kill and not get prosecuted (Pamela Price). I couldn't care less for the op-ed above, and california needs to stop being so liberal, it's ridiculous.
Something similar to CUDA or OpenCl should do it, right?
The FCC is proposing unlocks for phones that are not completely paid for yet. No one is against unlocking paid for phones. The lock is basically the only recourse the carrier has for nonpayment because blacklisting the IMEI doesn't matter if the phone goes to another country. I don't think you can relock a phone once it's unlocked, and the crooks typically make 1 or 2 payments which would cover the 60 days so by the time the carrier realizes the plan is in default they're not getting their money back.
Fraudulent marketing was the least of what they did.

Among other things, they set the recommended dosage and timing to maximize addictiveness (by repeatedly making the patients high, and then putting them in withdrawal).
Guess the point of studies, is to prove something is or is-not non-sense.

There are a lot of different treatments for PTSD, it doesn't have to be only one. So if ketosis works for some people, that doesn't mean video games can't work for others. So if it helps some, it isn't non-sense.

I think Ketosis sounds interesting, I'd hope someone would do a study on that also. Since it seems like Ketosis has been shown to help a variety of conditions, even if PTSD wasn't singled out.

Here is a positive one on Ketosis.

If you think it is you should read up on linear algebra, specifically its use in finite difference equations and how that relates to linear differential equations.

So weird how some minds think alike in more than one aspect.

I already loved your writing, but I never would have predicted that anyone else (besides me) was trying to put spaced repetition algorithms into SQL.

I've been in touch with the guys making Open Spaced Repetition:
https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition

... specifically the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler (FSRS), of which they recommended if we're going to copy one of the implementations it should be the TypeScript one, since that's the best documented:
https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/ts-fsrs
+ https://open-spaced-repetition.github.io/ts-fsrs/

I've been working on it the last few days and was working on it this morning, then I saw this/your post on HN. Jaw dropped.

I always enjoy making things from scratch as a way of getting to know them, but in this case it seems wise (and a bit of a new experience for me) to copy someone else's open source work and try to do a real implementation of the FSRS-5 scheduler in PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL functions.

Then cards and their data-logic can stay together in one place, and anyone can use whatever language they want for UI/API.

Yeah but they might just be eating higher fraud losses. It used to be pretty much instant unlocking until they asked for a waiver to make it 60 days in 2019 (which was granted by the FCC with not much pushback). So clearly some delay is important. Given their previous agreement they might not have felt they could ask for a longer wait.

Ask HN: How do you keep employee eyes off production data in new startup?
Let's say you're early in startup (not enough resources, have to move fast before runway ends, have to fix problems rapidly)... and prod has sensitive user data.

I just had a thought about my tentative next project, that I'd have to be very careful typing `npx prisma studio` (or run any other generic database browser), such as when debugging or doing database surgery, because it would be too easy to accidentally glimpse information that should be private to the users. And I couldn't look at some tables at all this way.

What are some low-cost, viable ways for an early startup to isolate this private data from founders&employees even accidentally seeing it?

An obvious measure you'd do in any case is to have a separate "prod" database, which is harder to access, and by fewer people. (You can usually work with dummy data instead.) But even then you'll need to go in there sometimes. And also there's debugging logs that more people are likely to see, more often, which can leak information.

So more than that is needed.

Also, especially if you're dogfooding something like social media, there's the possibility that some employee might be very motivated to access user data intentionally (e.g., the "LOVEINT" problem, or when a Reddit exec showed off their power inappropriately). Access logging can help with this, but can be circumvented, and is also runway-expensive to implement.

No, but different ones are invoked for each word so typically they’d all be preloaded into VRAM. Also, because of batching, different users would use different experts concurrently.
