Top Indian female biker dies in road accident during country-wide tour hncynic 1 minute ago

It says "India's top female bike deaths in road trip during the world’s most dangerous years".

Did he mention the death rate in China?

I would be interested to know more before writing this.

"She was a motorcycle helper. She was a motorcycle driver, and while she wasn't riding on a bicycle, she was on a bicycle. She was on a bike. When she drove on it, she was wearing an underwear on her head."

This is an incredibly unfair statistic. As far as I can tell people who use bikes don't even know how many times the "bicycle helper" is used.

As a bike enthusiast, I never have any problem riding as a bike helker, but in the city as a cyclist I regularly spend almost double the time riding bicycle helper in my town and have to be absolutely sure that she is riding on a bike that does not have a collision.

So while that is a big thing, I think the majority of bikers should take advantage of that knowledge to do so.

I can see how many motorcycles are in the US and other cities with very high density bike lanes, the article seems to imply that the city is doing something right as a biker. I don't really know about that, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of how many years a bike helper will take you to the point where you're not doing it wrong, or how

There is nothing to be proud of with a single biker at any moment.

Can someone elaborate what that conspiracy is?

s3arch··on Ask HN: How to reverse internet addiction?
Restriction is the key. There is no point completely avoiding these sites like HN or Reddit. Stay away from vulnerable situations that sucks you in.

I have ditched smartphone and laptop, because they are just an easy access to get lost in time, whenever i feel tempted or frustrated. Right now, I cannot reason out that, I will use my will power and stay away from internet by keeping smartphone close to my pocket. Instead I use internet at work and get the most out of it. Set out time to browse/search information that i really need. Make notes and get out. Its been 4 months without smartphone or laptop. I will continue this lifestyle for a year or two.

s3arch··on Surviving 75 hours alone in the ocean
Most of the suicides are committed when a person starts believing suicide is the only way out. When a person has lost all reasons to live, and when he thinks there is nothing he can do, then he concludes suicide could be the only next natural act under his control.
s3arch··on UPX – Ultimate Packer for Executables
Also it really doesn't matter what custom/tweaked packers the authors use.

It has been years. I vaguely remember, there is always a general standard way of unpacking.

Using the debugger, you keep track of those jmp instructions until unpacking is done. And then dump the memory to a file.

s3arch··on I'm a startup founder and I had sex with an investor
1. Why now? Why talk about it after so long time?

2. How do you feel now? Better, Worse, Don't care.

3. What is your suggestions for men, when a woman uses femininity to get attention in business?

s3arch··on Bartholomew L. Bartholomew
Such an interesting read.

Is there any similar sort of stories(both fiction and non fiction). Esp related to dealing with bad hiring, toxic employees and frustrated managers.

s3arch··on Linux kernel coding style
>First off, I’d suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it. Burn them, it’s a great symbolic gesture.

Should I be aware of something from GNU coding standards?

s3arch··on Ubuntu Hit by a Vulnerability in “Eject”
[0]Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that dmcrypt-get-device does not properly handle errors returned from setuid()/setgid() despite being a setuid-root binary. Although it looks to be handling trustworthy input from the kernel after the setuid()/setgid() calls, the intent is to be parsing the data as a non-root user.

s3arch··on An Indian Ocean island with a community that has been there for 60K years (2015)
When I read about them long time ago, they reminded me of those tribes in the movies "The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "The Gods must be crazy."

Those tribes always consider outsiders to be a threat.

I wonder what theories might Sentinelese have formulated about the world. When they see and hear loud voices of planes. Or distant light on the night sea. What do they conclude?

Thats it guys. Mommy says no more maths.

s3arch··on The art of destroying software
Basically understand Unix philosophy.

Components should be small and simple. If something does not work, then you should be able to delete and rewrite that small part, instead of fixing the big whole mess.

s3arch··on A prisoner developed a software to manage the jail staff
In 2014 he also had written a 368-page novel 'Four Friends'.

He says he had little knowledge in software development. So he taught himself more than 12 hours initially.

I wonder what made him to be so focused and creative, given that he is convicted for life.

I find hard to settle for more than 4 hours.

s3arch··on Deep work in practice: reimagining my workflow for radically less distraction
Deep work is not only about spending maximum time on what you really want to do. It more on how you get the maximum efficiency out of it.

And oh yes, "deliberate distraction" is highly recommended while doing deep work. So there is nothing wrong posting comments related to deep work on HN. :)

s3arch··on UK Government proposes porn-viewing ID
Sorry that there are very harsh comments out here.

You cant solve your problem relying on laws or global restrictions. The damage is already done.

The only solution is preparing your child how to respond on her own when she encounters inappropriate content. Not by restricting her. Not by always accompanying her when she uses Internet.

You need to educate her by telling her the Truth, ie the nature of the content and why it is inappropriate according to what you believe. This is more than sex education. Be more specific. Explain what happens there. Yes you can and is your responsibility to teach your child to avoid/hate NSFL if you think it harms her physical, emotional and mental well being, no matter what society believes and advocates by telling its all SAFE.
