I think of Linus Pauling
nrml_amnt··on Jane Street Boss Says He Was Duped into Funding AK-47s for Coup
Well don’t go Joker on us yet. They appear to be AKMSs with one being perhaps a Chinese type 56-1.
nrml_amnt··on Show HN: Infinite Hagakure
It’s slightly slower than my casual reading pace. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to slow the reader down a bit in this context.

I am still curious if the original speed was comfortable for you?

nrml_amnt··on Show HN: Infinite Hagakure
Damn, I would be so productive if I could read this fast. Is this a comfortable pace for you? Do you absorb the information?
nrml_amnt··on Jury orders NSO to pay $167M for hacking WhatsApp users
Molotov-Ribbentrop is not US propaganda.
nrml_amnt··on How to win an argument with a toddler
A judge granted him ‘withholding of removal’ status, and SCOTUS has determined his removal unlawful.
nrml_amnt··on Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 awarded to Nihon Hidankyo
What is the Russian narrative? How to give consideration for something that is not even meant to be sensical?
nrml_amnt··on Goodbye, Atomic Habits. The overlooked problems with building healthy habits
The author seems to be conflating habits with scheduled tasks. The point of a habit is that it’s more or less automatic — reserving your willpower to handle more unique and emergent tasks as they come. It’s been awhile since I read this book but I can’t imagine that that basic point was not conveyed.
nrml_amnt··on YouTube seems to once again be rolling out its widely hated new web redesign
Local news site comment sections are our last hope.
nrml_amnt··on Razer made to pay $1.2M over 'N95' face mask that wasn't
Did you mean .3% ?
nrml_amnt··on Apple users are being locked out of their Apple IDs with no explanation
They were impressed by the high quality American woman.
nrml_amnt··on Proton and Standard Notes are joining forces
We have the same timeline and general opinion — BUT SN has shown several serious bugs over the years … one of which locked me out of my account at a very inconvenient time, and support was responsive but ultimately could not help. Another thing I’ve seen is a password-protected file will display its contents for 1 or 2 seconds before being obscured and asking for a password. These have given me pause as to the robustness of the security of SN. Hopefully Proton can put some attention to these issues.

What does it smell like?

nrml_amnt··on Canva has acquired Affinity in an effort to compete with Adobe
I love HN.
nrml_amnt··on U.S. is said to open criminal inquiry into Boeing
I know a lot of Boeing people. Boeing’s management shit-show is legendary around here. The night of the door plug incident a former Boeing coworker of mine very confidently told me his hypothesis of what happened — and he was exactly right when the details came out. He worked there more than ten years ago.
nrml_amnt··on New bill would let defendants inspect algorithms used against them in court
Interesting that a bill is even necessary. Doesn’t the defense already have a right to preview the evidence used against them?
nrml_amnt··on 1-Bit Pixels Encoded in E. Coli for the Display of Interactive Digital Media
MyHouse but it’s straight to the bathroom and then the demons come to you.
nrml_amnt··on Harnessing heat from wastewater
It’s your shower and dishwasher. The heat from decomposition is negligible, even in a quite slow-moving conveyance system.
nrml_amnt··on Turing Complete is a game about computer science
At my day job, red = on and green = off. This game is the opposite. I wish this game had alternative on/off indicators like 1 and 0 or something without relying on color. It’s too much for years of habit, even in color blind mode.
nrml_amnt··on Victor Mono Typeface
Beautiful website (mobile). Beautiful font. Although I must agree that it’s not as legible as Fira or Ubuntu in an editor, I would certainly consider this font for aesthetic purposes for presentation, etc. It looks fantastic on your site.
nrml_amnt··on The Anthropogenic Salt Cycle
This is only done by small tertiary plants. Long Island sound receives up to 1000mgd (1 billion gallons per day) of wastewater plant effluent.
