A couple of suggestions:
1. Instead of multiple tiny inputs, you could have a single form with a date picker which defaults to todays date. Clicking a column header could set the date input value.
2. An end user wont know about the formatting requirements for entering task duration. A more user friendly option would be to parse the duration from the task name. Using some regex to match, heres an example.

// Look for time patterns like "30min", "1h", "2 hours", etc.
const timeRegex = /(\d+)\s*(min|mins|minutes|h|hr|hrs|hours)/;
const match = text.match(timeRegex);

Just reminding you of your earlier claim:

Is driving a mission-critical function? Due to its safety critical nature, many would say "yes".

So have you simply pivoted to "oh it does work, but it's not as profitable as it should be"?

I don’t remember the exact amount but after I filed my taxes last year I got a refund from the IRS for under 1 dollar because I had mistakenly put a small typo while entering a 1099 and they automatically corrected my return and sent me a few cents of a refund.

The fact that they are capable of doing that implies how much time we all have to waste doing our taxes.

Decades of so-called conservatives' eagerness to rage against whatever other groups of Americans their mainstream media directs them at is the cancer. Krasnov and Muskow are just the metastasization that will finish killing our society.

There's a significant difference between Fat Man (21 kilotonnes TNT yield) and Little Boy (15 kT) and 400 Minuteman IIIs each carrying a W87 (300 kilotonnes each, 120 000 kilotonnes total). And that's one third of the US's current nuclear triad. The second leg is 14 submarines, each carrying 20 Trident II missiles, each armed with an average of four warheads in MIRVs, for a total of some 1100 deployed independently retargetable warheads, which can be 475-kilotonne W88 warheads or something smaller. I'd look up the gravity-bomb numbers, but I think I've had enough already.

The effects on a country of 1000 or 2000 radioactive mushroom clouds seem like they'd be quite a bit larger than the one or two we've seen previously. You could see a billion people dead within an hour.

But they're very unselective weapons. The reason for the trend toward these sub-megatonne warheads is that it makes them more selective so they have more strategic value. But they really can't compete with simple precision weapons there. The US's force of 2800-some warheads costs about US$60 billion per year to maintain, about 20 million dollars per year per warhead. US$200 million will buy you 200 000 commercial drones with which you can kill almost 200 000 individually selected people with grenades. That's enormously more strategically valuable than the million random people you can kill with the warhead.
This is the same line of thinking as "drug addicts should just stop doing drugs."
For me that experience was only positive and interesting. No feeling of being trapped, nor any lucidity or other kind of awareness for that matter. I can best describe the passing of time as both similar and dissimilar to the common experience with marijuana where time becomes intangible and just runs off - e.g. going to the toilet and coming back 20 minutes later asking everyone how long you were in there. There was no sense of waiting or idling, but instead distinct memories that amount to time. The largest feeling was that of exhaustion when coming out of it, akin to collapsing in bed after an incredibly long day, but that wore off quickly.

Seconding the Gary Stevenson rec, he frames in a very digestible way the flow of income from people working day to day being spent on modern day lifestyle (and necessities) to the people who own the assets modern lifestyles are dependent on and how this formulation of an economy may end up becoming increasingly unsustainable.
Yes, a patent can be extended with a different use case. Drug repurposing or repositioning is mostly done exactly because of this financial benefit. Unfortunately that does not apply to currently generic drugs, so pharmaceutical companies don't put the resources into repurposing off-patent drugs that could be helpful.

I am not an expert but my impression is semaglutide has been in development since the 90s and in use as a drug for about a decade for people with diabetes. The drug and mechanism are old, the use is new.

I do not agree that people who don't "need" to be chronically medicated should not be. I think you can decide to take whatever you want for your own reasons. I am not going to tell you what you can and and can't take - unless you're like...taking something that makes you destructive or generate externalities or whatever. But this seems like the opposite?

Lots of questions here around profit and the awful medical system in the US, but on a basic level I think people should be able to do what they prefer and is safe.
Those countries all were allied (or were going to side with) with nazi Germany, so they are all square.

But even regardless of wars - there was always some degree of russophobia without any good reasons. Maybe it's just a fear of a big neighboring country, I don't know.

As for Katyn - you are right, it was indeed a crime by USSR's Stalin and it's a shame USSR hasn't admitted to that crime until as late as 1990.

The deprecation of OMXPlayer has been problematic for one, since I rely on some custom applications which need to be able to have some fairly precise/low latency requirements between when you tell it to start playing vs when the playback actually starts, etc. I haven’t found a suitable mechanism which meets our reqs on a Pi for controlling/playing videos yet since that deprecation.

The lack of a regular HDMI output is mildly annoying but not really a problem. Audio configuration is sometimes problematic, usually not…

If a client wants to use their own Pis, getting them provisioned with our software isn’t always the easiest if the customer is techno-phobic (though that’s partly on us - RPi usage is relatively infrequent for our customers so we haven’t put the time/energy into docs and into baking an image etc).

I love Pi’s, but they just that extra bit more finicky than BrightSigns which are hyper optimized for our use case and prevalent in our customers’ equipment rooms already.

It seems Mozilla is making Firefox irrelevant through collection of data on users and its plan to have users consent to that data collected and passed on to third parties. So what it does with certificates may not be very important, very soon.
Banks are also taxed on the interest from the loans. Loans backed by assets are not just free untaxed money as you seem to think they are. If an entity is unable make the payment on a bank loan, then they would be subject to having their collateral seized, and the bank would then eventually sell the assets, which would be subject to capital gains.

I think it would be more realistic to heavily tax inheritance and re-evaluate trust based loopholes.

> That late night trip to McDonalds will have you feeling like shit the next day

I've never had this reaction to fast food before. I only eat mcdonalds every few months and yea it's not the highest quality food, but I don't think there's anything in it to make you sick any more than other burger places have. I imagine you'd have to have restricted fast-food nutrition for quite some time before you feel a difference.

I'd like to see a study comparing people who ate mcdonalds who thought of it like slop vs those who saw it as a treat. I'm curious how much of this is psychosomatic, or how much of the craving for mcdonalds is rooted in feeling like crap in the first place.

(Granted, I've never had an issue with maintaining my appetite before, in fact I have issues keeping weight on, so I might have a fundamentally different relationship with food.)
How would you calculate the confidence? LLMs are notoriously bad at grading their own output.
That makes sense. You could even run against multiple models or future models then, right? I can see some value in that because maybe 2 years from now the models will be able to surface issues that weren’t detected originally. I suppose you could run against the whole codebase in the future, but could also imagine something that could track down where a bug was introduced.

Do you save the reviews or discard them?
My favourite example of this in my neighborhood is an apartment block of only studios, which would be illegal to build today, as the law was updated to prevent ridiculously small apartments (18m2) from being built.

It is, of course, half empty, but it doesn't matter. Those who bought those units never intended to live there anyway. To them it's just digital currency where proof of work is a physical object.

People advocating for "just" building more housing have no idea who buys most of the properties.

If the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail is completed, it would be reasonably convenient to live in the Central Valley and commute to San Francisco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Portal_(San_Francisco)).

Unfortunately, the High-Speed Rail has become exorbitantly expensive, all publicly funded a.f.a.i.k. On the other hand, housing in general and the existing 19th-century railroad network were built with private money. As an aside, this is why the internet backbones from coast-to-coast are privately owned; these are on railroad land.

The reason I think taxes are hard isn't because of messaging. I might be an idiot, but it's because of an experience I had years ago where I was trying to follow the rules and pay taxes on some contracting income. I screwed something up. I ended up corresponding with the IRS dozens of times. Somehow I had recorded some income that never happened. I think I spent more time writing letters than I spent on the contract project. To this day I'm scared of contacting.

It was taken down. In general, 18F’s open source work was in the public domain, though, and I know there have been efforts to archive it recently.

I dont think you specifically mentioned it, but people under the age of 40 get a staggering amount of their "news" from TikTok and social media. I forget the figure off the top of my head but it's near or over 50% of people under the age of 40 get the bulk of their "news" from social media.

It's an alarming stat.

Presumably if you're trying to lose weight, you have energy to burn you carry around with you. A calorie deficit doesn't imply lack of calories to burn. Presumably you're trying to trigger ketogenesis.

Granted, this is a lot less easy to access than simply eating simple carbs right before a workout and likely a lot less comfortable.
Then the right thing to do would be to remove tax deduction at source from payroll. People will notice how much they are paying in taxes when they have to write a check every month to the government and start asking questions.

I agree with your take. We are stretched too thin and our "allies" have become frenemies. We need to fix our domestic problems or we won't have a country worth preserving. Certainly, at this rate we won't be strong enough to compete with a rising China.

I only point out the foreign policy consensus inherited from the Cold War is still operational among Atlanticists and other Ukraine war hawks. Stripping away the hysteria, we can accept there will be a cost to Russian dominance of Ukraine, if allowed. I expect the foreign policy establishment in State, CIA, and DoD will continue to try to torpedo Trump. But the China hawks are ascendant at the moment. The recent debacle with Zelensky at the WH is maybe the nail in the coffin for overt "Ukraine uber Alles" war hawks. (They say Personnel is policy. Remember that key architects and actors of Atlanticist policy have personal ties to Ukraine. Nuland is second generation Ukrainian-American. The Vindmanns are Ukrainian nationals. Personally, I would not be surprised if Ukraine saboteurs were implicated in the Trump assassination attempt in Butler. They feel, perhaps correctly, that Trump is an existential threat. Doesn't necessarily mean their problems should be our problems.)

I tend to agree that Russia, China, and Iran are our global competitors, that India and Brazil are dark horses, and that transnational Islam (supported by our foreign adversaries) is another wild card. Abandoning the liberal pieties of Pax Americana and retrenching along nationalist sovereignty lines appears to be the way forward with regard to the very real domestic problems you mention. Unconstrained international labor migration is a failure for domestic populations and needs to be largely reversed. Border security and foreign influence need to be addressed. These are civilizational problems as old as civilization itself. The pendulum is swinging back. Some people get it.

I also appreciate the occasional encounter with sensible HN readers who eschew the vitriolic rhetoric and try to argue objectively. Looking at your other recent comments I see you are in a similar boat as I am on HN. Good luck!
When you say left, you probably mean the extreme centre "liberal authoritarians" like von Papen, Bruning and to a certain extend Schleicher, but i have to remind you that Hindenburg was a staunch conservative (and Schleicher would have been considered a RINO more than anything anyway).

Because if you wrote that to attack Muller and what he tried to do despite the German communist party (piloted by the USSR) trying to be their best "accelerationist" self, you are extremely unfair.
