What does [flagged] mean?

Users flagged the post as breaking the guidelines or otherwise not belonging on HN.

Moderators sometimes also add [flagged] (though not usually on submissions), and sometimes turn flags off when they are unfair.

I wonder how does this compare with engine braking. Many people in the comment section are surprised that their EV's pads are lasting up to 4 years yet as someone who always drove manual cars and who leverages engine braking this sound like a normal length.

> In the AI context, DEI includes the suppression or distortion of factual information about race or sex; manipulation of racial or sexual representation in model outputs; incorporation of concepts like critical race theory, transgenderism, unconscious bias, intersectionality, and systemic racism; and discrimination on the basis of race or sex. DEI displaces the commitment to truth in favor of preferred outcomes and, as recent history illustrates, poses an existential threat to reliable AI.

In my opinion, this reflects more on the groups you've interacted with than on you personally.

I don't want to put you in a box, but consider this example:

"There is no significant difference in the effectiveness of how autistic and non-autistic people communicate, according to a new study, challenging the stereotype that autistic people struggle to connect with others." https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/autistic-people-communicat...

This highlights how much of our perception is shaped by context and societal bias.

Our society is unwell and the idea of a "third space" (a place outside of home and work where people can connect and thrive) has largely disappeared.

Working a lot can be wonderful when it brings you joy. Think of the Japanese concept of Ikigai (生き甲斐), which refers to having a sense of purpose: something that brings fulfillment and makes life feel worthwhile. If your work gives you that, then that's amazing, and you're fortunate.

It could be that you were born to bring nothing but profits and taxes to the community. And that's perfectly fine if it genuinely makes you happy.

The issue, in my view, is that in our unbalanced society work often becomes that default third space. But it's not designed to support human flourishing in that way. By design, it is meant to extract the maximum amount of profit from human resources, with little to no concern for their well-being. This often leads to burnout or disillusionment, especially when decades of effort go unnoticed or fail to make a meaningful impact on society.

Imagine if we had more spaces where we could do meaningful work, not necessarily for profit, in safe and supportive environments that foster connection with like-minded people. Many of us who quietly struggle on our own while still performing at a high level would finally feel like we belong to a supportive group.

Canada has a great website about radon:

At what cost?

A career is just one facet of a fulfilled life alongside relationships, health, personal development and joy. Putting everything aside aiming for promotions may look like a success on paper but it often leads to burnout, loneliness and unfulfilled goals in other areas.

You can climb the ladder but if you ignore the rest of your life you may reach the top, only to realize once alone at the summit that your entire kingdom is in disarray.

Perhaps slowing your career can even be wise if the other spheres of your life are suffering. A sabbatical year or even a deliberate downshift can offer the space to realign and rediscover purpose.

There is something to be said about survivorship bias too, many who work hard don't achieve similar outcomes. We often hear from those who worked relentlessly and succeeded but rarely from the many who worked just as hard and didn't see the same results. For example, some studies show that nearly half of the women in tech leave the industry by mid-career, often due to systemic barriers

> "What if my leg bone actually has metal in it for some reason?!"

I have a titanium plate in my head, so it's not magnetic.

When the MRI tech asked if I had any metal in me, I said I had titanium on my skull.

She asked if I was sure it was titanium.

I knew it was, but I was nervous, so I said, "I think so."

She half-joked, "Well, if it's not, we'll find out real quick."

It was titanium.

But they never really double-checked or anything.

Part of me thinks that because of my age, she could tell it wasn't iron or anything dangerous.

But another part of me feels like she honestly didn't care that much and meant it when she said we'd find out fast.

Stéphane, the creator of MyNoise, is an incredibly talented and kind individual who built something truly special. It's really unfortunate that things turned out this way.

I have a similar condition. For me, the issue isn't so much the sensation of the permanent injuries themselves, but rather the constant physical fatigue that comes with them. Since doctors tend to rely heavily on those 1-to-10 pain scales with the little face expressions, it's incredibly hard to be taken seriously when your symptoms don't fit neatly into that system. What's frustrating is that people who can feel the pain early on often have a chance to prevent further damage. I couldn't and doctors couldn't even help me identify that I might have health issues.

I worry a lot about aging, and I'm also afraid of things like tumors or cancers that I might not feel until it's too late. As an example, I can't feel cavities forming and I didn't even notice my wisdom teeth piercing through my gums when I was a teen.

First paragraph of the article:

"In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it."

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/g...

What caused it? The Portuguese prime minister, Luís Montenegro, said that the issue originated in Spain. Portugal’s REN said a “rare atmospheric phenomenon” had caused a severe imbalance in temperatures that led to the widespread shutdowns.

REN said: “Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 kV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration’. These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.”

This is an important part of the article: "Canada accounted for only 1% of the company's total sales, Whiting said, so the company can withstand the hit."

When they wrote "your screen can display 3D photos", I thought it would be a hardware hack and not something that depends on a human physiology hack.

Something like stereoscopic GIFs come to mind, e.g. https://tenor.com/fr-CA/view/dain-stereoscopic-daingifs-3d-m...

In other words, taking the two images and swapping them quickly creates the illusion of depth.

Edit:

Looking into it, there's a word for it. Wiggle stereoscopy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiggle_stereoscopy

I believe that this is the hack that is being discussed: https://cybersecuritynews.com/comfyui-users-targeted-by-mali...

I've used Copilot to give you an example of an average front-end web development recruitment message. From personal experience, this is how it they are in 2025. At the end of the day, the work itself will consist of applying small visual customisations to an existing CMS.

I wish there was a way to select multiple catchments at once, because using "region" for Canada or the US selects the entire country and not individual states.

A favorite of mine to look at is October Revolution Island and its glaciers.

I hate to ask this, but with the timing of the current US elections and presidential mandate, seeing this appear out of the blue scares me more than anything. Do you have any existing handles or presence in the community I can use to double check? Thanks.

Whenever I try to do this, the most I get is that the two images touch. The cats in the example are holding paws, but they never overlap. I've been trying to make this work since the old magic images from the 90s, but I've never managed it. I wonder if there isn a hardware limitation related to my eye configuration.

> convection oven might be a good trade off

I'm not very up on the details of electricity prices, as I live in a place where it's cheap, but using a tiny air fryer to cook the sweet potatoes suits me just fine. Both are wrapped in foil and cut into chips or cubes. Kids love it for breakfast.

Going back in time to the Americas doesn't allow you to see much detail. If you're curious to find out, you can visit this website, which gives a detailed account of native lands: https://native-land.ca/

"Microsoft provided the AI tech needed to process and analyze Iconem’s vast amount of photogrammetry data used to create the digital twin of St. Peter’s Basilica. Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab contributed advanced tools that refined the digital twin with millimeter-level accuracy, and used AI to help detect and map structural vulnerabilities like cracks and missing mosaic tiles."

Bingo! I use a vertical screen.

When I was at university, Flash was very popular.

Websites like this were our main projects.

It was easy to make them team projects, they asked us to split between programmer and designer.

The designer had to create the assets.

We had a photo lab and the designer was sent into town to take photos.

We weren't allowed to use stock images, which would have speeded up the process.

However, it was still relatively simple for young adults to create the elements.

AI is cool, and yes, it will make everything faster.

But I don't think the wall here was feasibility, it's more that the skeuomorphism trends ended and the market was saturated with highly dynamic interactive websites thanks to Flash making them easy to manage.

So the trends stopped.

It's nice to see it coming back, it was a lot of fun creating them.

I doubt it's a conscious choice. I am an adult and I avoid toothpaste with fluoride because no matter what I do, once toothpaste gets to the back of my tongue it simply falls into my throat. I would imagine that for a child without decades of swallowing food it's even harder to control or even notice.

I live in an area where advertising is not allowed to target children directly.

As a result, the adverts don't show children playing with the toys, but present the toys in a bland setting as potential gifts for adults to buy. They will show an adult happy with a purchase. In short, they simply cannot address children directly through television. However, it's a fine line and you hardly ever see advertisements for toys unless there's a clear educational value. That's my understanding at least.

Most Nintendo adverts show young adults playing on a sofa or on the go in a train.

Before the Carini v Khelife bout at the Paris North Arena, the IOC’s Mark Adams was asked about the controversy surrounding the contest.

“I repeat that all the competitors comply with the eligibility rules,” he said. “But what I would say is that this involves real people. And, by the way, this is not a transgender issue. I should make this absolutely clear.”

> HN simply refuses to implement 21st-century forum enhancements.

I'd argue that the reason most of us are on HN is that it doesn't use 21st century forum enhancements.
