Curve looks a lot like total Hacker News volume but with a bigger spike in the last year. Would be interesting to see this adjusted relative to average content volume

For example, a search for “iPhone” dips around 2025, but did interest in it decline or were there just fewer comments on Hacker News that year (based on searches for generic words like “the” or “is” I suspect it was actually the latter)?

Ivermectin has had decidedly mixed results in very limited early trials, and may not be effective at treating COVID at all.
The only reason people are taking ivermectin when safe, effective, and FREE vaccines are available is because of politics.
If you are homeless, you might not have access to a shower or laundry facilities. You might have to rely on public transit (which is unreliable in many American cities), or you might not be able to afford public transit, so it might be hard to arrive on time. All of which will put you at a strong disadvantage compared to any other applicant.
If you do go to a job interview you might have to leave all your positions in the street where without you watching over them, they could be stolen. If you have a pet or a child, there might not be anyone trustworthy willing to take care of them while you are away.
If you pass the first round of interviews, you might need a phone number where they can call you for a follow up. But what happens if you can't afford a phone plan? Or if you have a phone, but don't have easy access to a location where you can charge it?
Finally day after day of living on the street, having very poor nutrition, not getting enough quality sleep, dealing with extreme stress, can all cause mental health issues.
There are lots of obstacles to getting a job when you are homeless. And the longer you go without a job, the harder it is to get a new job.
> “We’re of course thankful for the gift and we’re thankful for any gift to our most important institutions during this time,” said Matt Haney, another supervisor backing it. “But that doesn’t mean that we should for forever essentially have given away advertising rights on this most essential public institution.”
Doesn't seem like an unreasonable stance

Worth noting that Paris has famously powerful unions and yet still manages to build transit projects for much less than New York City.
> On Feb. 4, two weeks after South Korea reported its first coronavirus case, the government gave “emergency approval” for Seoul-based Kogene Biotech to move ahead with the test kits.
> Kogene currently exports test kits for the novel virus to 35 countries in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

> Researchers say a viral test is relatively easy to develop. Rather, scientists say, the chasm between the testing haves and have-nots reflects politics, public health strategies and, in some cases, blunders.
> South Korea opened nearly 600 testing clinics, including dozens of drive-through stations. More than 250,000 people have been tested

A big difference between SF and NYC is that NYC provides shelter for people that can't afford housing and SF does not. Only 5% of homeless people in NYC are unsheltered compared with 67% in the Bay Area.
Legally, NYC is required to provide shelters for anyone who needs it, while SF shelters have waitlists of over a month.

Consumers can ignore Google and use another search engine, but a publisher that ignores Google won't be in business very long.
That sounded interesting to me so I tried searching for an article about it, but I couldn’t find anything that talked about Amazon using plastic shipping containers. Do you remember where you read about it?

1. `pip-sync`, An easy way to ensure my local environment actually matches my defined requirements. I guess the pipenv version of this would be `pipenv uninstall --all && pipenv install` which isn't quite as elegant, but perhaps good enough.
2. The ability to create more than two requirement sets. For my projects it's often handy to three sets of requirements:
• Normal production requirements end users will need to run the app
• CI requirements needed for testing, but not running the app in production (Selenium, Flake8, etc)
• Local debugging tools (ipython, ipdb)
I could include my local debugging tools in the `--dev` requirements, but then I'm unnecessarily making my CI builds slower by adding requirements for packages that should never actually be referenced in committed code. Alternatively, I could leave them out of my dependencies entirely, but then I have to remember to reinstall them every time I sync my local env to ensure it matches the piplock file.
class Foo:
bar = 42
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.__dict__.update(**kwargs)
Typing
someFunc( _ => {
// this is
// a function
// with multiple lines
})
def foo ():
// this is
// a function
// with multiple lines
someFunc(foo)
I'm curious what you find verbose about Python classes as:
class FooBar():
text = "Hello World!"
def hello(self):
return self.text
