@dang I just read the guidelines and don’t see any mention of how to get your/a mods attention in posts unless you’re referring to “email hn@ycombinator.com”?

Is that the proper way?

+1 this! I'm sitting in a cafe, working remotely from Taipei right now. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

There's a large group of hackernews reader types of people here right now who all socialize here since Covid is non-existent.

Just trying to clarify here: you’re saying if someone was exonerated of a violent crime due to newer, overwhelming forensic evidence but had already spent 13years.

You’d feel more comfortable working with the actual criminal than the innocent person who spent 13 years in prison?

I don't see how that will economically make sense long term. Burn coal to yield co2 + water + electricity, then use electricity to convert the co2 + water into oil? I assume it's more efficient to directly convert coil to oil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_liquefaction

What they're doing makes more sense to my intuition. "Mine" (excess) co2 from the atmosphere, using a cleaner source of electricity.

If an animal eats it, wouldn't it be combusting the captured carbon to produce CO2/H20/energy? I don't think you'd want to feed it to anything, but just let it be buried or be pushed under the earth's crust.

I've seen people use UBI to mean "employment insurance" but that's misuse of the term.

From wikipedia: "A Basic Income would vary with age, but there would be no other conditions: so everyone of the same age would receive the same Basic Income, whatever their gender, employment status, family structure, contribution to society, housing costs, or anything else."

So it's not a small amount of money to do nothing, but just an "extra" small amount of money coming out of either welfare budgets and/or additional taxes.

Yeah but with UBI everyone would suddenly have a great source of credit. Who wouldn't loan someone $10k to move at a low interest rate when you know that person by being a US Citizen is receiving $10k/yr.

Yeah that's probably a good bare minimum amount of git knowledge. But I feel like that's making git which can be a super helpful and powerful tool nothing more than a means to an end.

Learning the functionality of git can really help you out. For example, I almost always use the `-p` flag (particularly `git add -p` which gives me a chance to manually see every change I've made, often I'll find some junk that I may have left somewhere else. Also being familiar with how to rebase series of commits onto and off of other branches can be a huge time saver.

I believe the book is all in NodeJS. As for the most mature lib, I’d say Apollo.

How are you able to definitively say that's more of a waste than to gather cotton and linen and then print money?

But it's work to prevent armored cars (often diesel) transporting cash. Or potentially large portions of banking and minting systems which as a whole expends plenty of energy. You can't just look at the cost without weighing the benefit.

You could say you don't think that is likely to happen, but spending energy to attempt to save more energy down the road isn't a clear mistake– it would just be a failed ambitious attempt to reduce waste.

I'm friends with a founder of Hacker Paradise. I sent him a link to this post so hopefully he can look into it asap.

I really don't think build time is very important. With a separate CI server it doesn't much matter if takes an hour or <10 minutes for a build to complete, the gain for me is that it's no longer "your" time. It's some other server that's doing the work with a saved state (master).

I'll typically just merge into master on GH, let the CI server take it from there and not bother checking the site manually when the build is complete, it's not necessary. Our QA and CI process handles that.

I consider it a major advantage (benefits far outweigh risk) that I can typically merge my ticket into master, close my laptop and head home.

A close friend of mine made https://www.tonerite.com/ to distress your own guitars. I know it's done well.

I just want to thank you for making getsimpleform. I've used it in multiple projects and recommended it frequently!

Thanks Loren! Any chance of it being included it in the Meteor documentation?

Just burn it and sell the electricity and freshwater?

Then it becomes 1 CO2.

Most good studies on THC are on adults/ developed brains. I'm not sure it's established yet that marijuana wouldn't cause a "physical" addiction if used in adolescence. It might be / hopefully is fine, but people shouldn't assume that just because cannabis is fairly harmless in adults it is also established to be safe for youth.

That's totally true! In this case the child's brain isn't "healthy".

Hopefully this works for the child's benefit, and clearly it's a case of a desperate parent grasping for anything that may help. However, it does sadly have potential to do further harm as well.

I'd advice caution on giving any developing brain cannabis.

Although it seems cannabis is fairly harmless in developed brains– there's some evidence it can interfere with development.

I agree that using a pw manager and 2fa is great. But in this particular case couldn't it be a nightmare?

You don't have your 2nd factor device (phone) and someone else has access to it and presumably an email account too? I guess they may still need the device's unlock code (PIN/finger print) to do more serious damage, but it'd be rough if you're trying to change your passwords, but can't because you are out your 2FA device. All the while the attacker is able to reset your accounts/passwords.

I'm pretty sure its only talking about App Store apps.

This is cool! I've actually been using Trello as the backend for an text message service I made called http://advice.pocketwingman.us/

Worked as a great lo-fi solution for me, since you can just have all the support team download the Trello app and they'll get a push notification whenever something comes in.

In addition to the other comments, by only needing to write frontend code you can also host your website much cheaper and scalably (via something like amazon S3 & CDN). You'd pay more like several pennies for 100's of users (ignoring any scaling costs w/ Firebase) rather than a min of ~$10/mo.

I think it may be a good idea for the top-level comments to have this, but then allow replies to comments not.

It's not 0 calorie, but Coke does have a stevia drink called Coke Life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Life)

This is such awesome news!!! It was the sole reason I last jailbroke my phone.

They're even letting people install it from source so you get it before it gets on the app store: https://justgetflux.com/sideload/

My main concern with the word policing is for people who have been using a common term while it was not offensive, later being deemed as insensitive for having used the term.

For example if using "slave/master" terminology becomes widely accepted as insensitive, in the future someone may look through my twitter history or something and find that I had used that term, even though at the time of writing no one had considered that term insensitive.

This looks amazing! Thanks for making/releasing this as open source.

Career advice- it's a wash I don't see how it realistically would hurt you or benefit you much either.

However, don't get pressured into doing something you're not comfortable doing. If you morally want to do something, but only feel comfortable doing it anonymously just stick to that. And if the law firm doesn't see any benefit from your anonymous reporting then I would recommend to just leave it at that.
