dayum....thx for bringing that up.

hmmm, you really need to get to the root of the problem. All I can tell you is that there are tools at your disposable. Old and New. One that is shunned by modern science because they say because there is no evidence or can't prove beyond statistically significance that something works or not, but you see people benefit from the old civilizations way of treating pain both spiritual and physical.

The most obvious one is daily exercise. Are you exercising regularly? If not, start immediately. This is not an age to start slacking.

Eat healthy. Relax. Avoid, stress if possible. Smoke a little ganja if your doctor is okay with it.

Always remember suicide is temporary, your loved ones will pay the ultimate price, and honestly I believe that your consciousness will painfully witness it. It's fallacy to accept that just because the physical body perishes that "you" end. I don't think so. The consciousness must live on, beyond the 3rd dimension. Michio Kaku, read his book, and tell me that in the trillions of stars that's been around for billions of years or less is thriving with life, life which may extend beyond the 3rd dimension which us mortals are limited to....but the 4th, 5th up till 11th. It totally makes sense that we aren't alone in this universe and that there are higher dimensional beings that look down upon our 3rd dimensional world on earth as we would look down upon the water striders who have no concept of up or down, unaware that we can seemingly teleport them from one location to another by lifting them out of the water and placing it in another place. To us, we can connect the cause and effect. To the water strider, it's the craziest shit that ever happened.

There's also evidence of children remembering their past lives, like that kid who got murdered and then remembered the guy that killed him as a boy and ended up arresting the guy.

what irks me is that there seems to be no plans to address the google.com issue. This really kills it for AMPs honestly.

I guess PWA + AMP = PWAMP is not really a thing?

edit: and of course pwamp.com is taken.

dear mother of god....that is a monstrous list. Thank you!

same can be argued for loud Harley or Indian motorcycles. tbh, they are going overboard but I always wondered if a loud bike truly is safer? It makes sense that if you hear your doors rattling on the highway, the tactile feedback from the monstrous motorcycle exhaust sound immediately catches attention. Also, there is an intimidation factor as well.

Meh, I say your life and safety is of higher priority. but do not be surprised if somebody snaps, I've watched too many /r/publicfreakouts to know what the emotional threshold of an adult commuter is these days.

wow, this is like the best recruiting ad I ever seen. I don't know much about security but I'm taking the AWS Sysops in 10 days. I applied because I'm curious about the challenge.

damn this is embarrassing considering how much PR and marketing MIT puts out. That image is almost comical, it's as if somebody just got tired and holds a loose definition of "removing an object from a picture".

Indeed. I thought it was going to be a one off video but pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive coverage of all parts of sale thats relevant to a solo founder.

These kind of stuff are the rare gems you get once in a while from HN.

I'm shocked by how crazy the graphics were for back then...I mean seeing the metal logo, I couldn't quite believe that this was possible in 1993. I still have the CGW magazine from this era.

Your wish is my command....

> The bleak outlook is borne out across the country as industrial hubs shed tens of thousands of jobs. Ulsan, home to Hyundai’s heavy and automobile industries, was once South Korea’s fastest-growing and wealthiest city. Today, it represents the nation’s rust belt, the human toll of economic decline evident in the increasing spate of suicide attempts (nearly 200 so far this year). Young people are also fleeing: Having quadrupled since the 1970s, the population of Ulsan began to decline in 2016. Ulsan is just one of nine regions the government has dubbed “industrial crisis zones” and earmarked for almost $1 billion in support. Seoul is also in the process of implementing a $3.5 billion supplementary budget to create jobs and tackle youth unemployment, which remains intractable at about 10 percent.

I never expected to read about my hometown on HN lol. "Republic of Hyundai" is what Ulsanites jokingly called it because they own the province. The hospitals, public school, textbooks sponsored by Hyundai that needs to be closely studied to do well on exams that will ultimately lead them to follow their father's footsteps as a Hyundai employee, in order to afford Hyundai built apartment complexes and drive to work in a Hyundai car. At one point, Ulsan had the highest median salary in Korea. I remember hearing stories of a Hyundai employee who came to work in a KIA car (before they were acquired by Hyundai) and unfortunately was witnessed by the wife of a major stakeholder in Hyundai and proceeded to rat him out and fire him. Entire apartment complexes would be quiet with only housewives and elderly in them because the men are all at Hyundai, the kids are at a Hyundai built school who are brainwashed to accepting the system, one that promises to award rote memoization and standardized tests to determine your place in what I coin here as an Absolute Corporatocracy.

There were other weird incidences in Ulsan. Chinook helicopters landing in our elementary school yard at night, pamphlets raining down on kids in playground and air sirens announcing the beginning of civil defense exercise to simulate a North Korean air raid. The day after Kim Il Sung died we wrote about how unification was just around the corner and were rejoicing until North Korean submarines started showing up in fish nets triggering a nation wide manhunt.

> drinking coffee or tea in the morning starts the non-fasting period

major bummer. I almost entirely rely on caffeine while I'm fasting and it inhibits my appetite.

Absolutely. It's fascinating how different dietary cultures develop and adapt to their environment in a surprisingly efficient manner. Nothing is wasted. Need to store meat for long periods of winter? Smoke it. Need it on the go? We'll use the left over bits to make sausages. What? You need side dishes that doesn't go bad for a long time? We'll pickle it, store it under ground to ferment it. Huh, you are throwing away all that extra cabbage roots from making kimchi? Put that in a soup or 시락국 containing high levels of Omega-H3 from the broth containing tiny fishes.

Yes, it's a very unhealthy combo to do frequently. The bovine industry along with a connected global marketplace has made it far more abundant than is healthy.

For example, I heard that samgyupsal is mostly fat that isn't typically consumed for grilling, is really unhealthy as it consists mostly of fat lard with little pork meat. but once you taste it it's hard to put down. Typically, lettuce, garlic, onion, sesame oil and in traditionally green onions shredded with red pepper sprinkled. You take a bit of meat, bathe it in the sesame oil sauce with pepper and salt, wrap it up in lettuce, throw in some fermented bean sauce containing healthy probiotics also found in kimchi, and pop it in your mouth. When you get a bit tired of the grease, you yell "WUN SHUT!" ("one shot") and down what seemingly smells like acetone. There's a euphoria that happens when you combine it with family and friends, it's also a common way to bond with your co-workers and superiors.

Typically a traditional Korean meal consists of rice and banchan, or seasoned side dishes, but most people I know just eat rice and kimchi. Also, Koreans have a huge affinity for Pho and vietnamese cuisine because it feels familiar.

Writing about samgyupsal has gotten me salivating lol....

yeah I had a very strong skeptical attitude while reading the article. For me, it raises some flags when it's alleged the author is in the business of selling prediction markets, you are gonna read only the good parts.

I find it hard to believe that a prediction market will be able to outperform hedge funds. It's an open secret that insider trading is rampant despite SEC enforcement, so unless those hedge funds are participating in these prediction markets, it's hard to put any value especially at this early stage.

I can definitely see a use for internal opinions, like, do we need a new CEO? and then putting the equilibrium forces of an efficient market to work. Best Buy tried it and I'm not sure if it's still being used decade later.

Less code = Less surface area for attack?

> procrastination is often a side-effect of perfectionism

this also eerily applies to shipping software. the launch date is repeatedly "put off another day" while trying to build the perfect product with no customers...

little life hack gems we collectively discover is what makes HN great.

I don't know about FAANG but definitely needed for small startups where exploitation is very real. For example, your manager should not be allowed to contact you in the middle of the night to discuss work. You should not have to come in over the weekend because you are afraid to get fired. You also should be able to negotiate better conditions in lieu of the "startup haircut" pay.

Of course this doesn't apply to well run startups with good leaders, but the truth is in my experience, they are rare and few.

The whole industry could benefit, much like the men who worked under American tycoons of the 18th century in steel mills, oil fields and other shitty conditions, software engineering is engineering period.

Just because you can't hold and physically touch the output from software engineers doesn't mean that it's somehow less demanding or not deserving of the same unionization that other laborers/engineers have access to.

Is it possible that with economic affluence of the West, overconsumption is harmful?

It used to be that there would be days where our ancestors would not be able to bring home any meat so fasting probably was built in as part of our metabolism process.

It was only in the past 100 years that we've seen mass produced sugary food and drinks.

Like the diet difference is painfully obvious when you go to Japan's 7-11. Healthy stuff all around compared to deep fried fast food.

Some days I will only eat 1 meal, and I honestly feel great. The biggest difference being I have way more energy and just feel "light".

These days I've converted to mostly Korean food consisting of rice and veggie side dishes incl kimchi of course. I've lost 4kg within 3 weeks just by changing diet.

Of course can't resist the burger and fries once in a while....but eating primarily Korean food because I'm Korean I realize is the wise choice....our ancestors have been eating the same stuff for millenias so it's probably "right" for my metabolism.

there's a study that showed East-Asian men living in North America have high rate of prostate related issues which has traditionally never been prevalent in East Asia...and also the rise of American fast food chains have collectively made the world a lot less healthier with the increase of diabetes and obesity.

what you wrote makes no sense, can you provide an example scenario?

Why do you need a blockchain database specifically? What properties of it is relevant here?

Does this mean that we can manipulate videos programmatically in the future? I don't see why not. Maybe we'll see games that are literally undistinguishable from reality.

I have the old Bose but I wonder if it has that "air pressure" feeling around the ears?

Ah no apologies necessary!

I can definitely attest to refreshing HN and Reddit too often to the point it was causing anxiety....

I don't know why I do it? I keep refreshing the page for some new comment and keep tabs on my karma points....

I strongly advise against it. Marijuana is not an optimal long term treatment tool for anxiety, while you may realize immediate short term benefits, it is only a bandaid solution.

Instead, examine your life and find out what:s causing the anxiety and address it. Dont rely heavily on substance.

It is your decision at the end of the day.

who are the end users? organizations that outsources this type of security because it's too difficult to do with existing open source and cloud solutions? What sort of liability insurance do you guys have against data breaches and catastrophic failure?

How would manned fighter jets counter an adversary like in this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGAk5gRD-t0

You can see the swarm of drones that could absolutely wreak havoc and out pilot humans with AI advancement.

The F-35 initiatives for a "one platform for all branches" mirrors the F-4 Phantom and McNamara's push for standardized platform to emphasize on a perceived technologically advantage-guided missiles that made dogfighting rebundant....

We all know that played out in vietnam....

Now they are saying it's okay if the F-35 is beta, nobody can detect our stealth planes!

Like the unshootable Nighthawk stealth bomber in Belgrade that was taken out by a SAM. Of course the f-22 has no equal but I wonder just how much this stealth edge is going to last.

Somewhere someone is sitting on a slush fund to figure out (or have figured out already) how to detect stealth and counter measures.

I'm not talking about shooting the shit but video conference calls eating up precious data, panic support channels to fight fire....

I feel like companies use Slack exactly for this reason...it tethers your employees to a very intimate possession-your smartphone and it's far more invasive than a phone call or email and your are expected to respond immediately.

It has all the dynamics of any email or regular office conversation. Somebody has a grudge in the office and want to make you look bad for remote working? Call them and immediately hang up and tell managers 'so and so isn't responding in real time' or take a convo out of context where emoticons play a far more conflicting messages to the receiver. For example, somebody using a animated flashing parrot and mistaking it as a slight.

I feel like Slack has been more times counter-productive than advertised.

Slack should count as work too while commuting. I'd prefer emails but now you are de facto on call when you have Slack on your phone.
