"Keep an eye out for" better fits your intention. "Watch out for" implies potential danger or a need for caution. "Watch for" might work but is more for use in an active situation that changes.

How does it know we are HN users?

I wonder what the response would be if, in return for the IP and other user info, the IP and user info of the employees, including (most definitely including) their managers up to the boss (basically everyone involved at said company), were then also made public. They get our info, we get their info. In my mind's picture, the employees et al. would refuse, and it could then be posed to them, "users refuse for the same reason".

I wonder if the comments saying Amazon is terrible for shopping is due to the same ppl browsing Amazon, rather than actually shopping for the one or two things they need? I've never had a problem finding what I want in my searches. I also don't browse...and I can see how that might result in Amazon showing a person browsing all kinds of things not realizing that THIS TIME they really do want that item.

One problem with the experiment mentioned at the beginning of the article is that the participants still knew that a drug was being administered, which by itself would be enough to precipitate a reaction. Another aspect that I'd be curious about is who these religious people were... What denomination. No Christians I know would agree to doing this - Drugs? No. Partly out of a sense of morals, but more so because they wouldn't want their experience with God tainted by chemicals. There probably are other experiments out there where religious ppl were administered drugs but did not know it... Those results would be interesting to read about, including subsequent beliefs or positions about one's standing with God.

So where is gHeadphone on this? I'd like to read why they shared this.

The writer though may actually be less egotistical than it seems. By the end of post they are saying that their ability to not believe a good sounding argument is exactly the same approach an uneducated person has... Saving them both from believing the wrong things. The funny thing is he gives up trying help the reader discern just what the right thing might be.

You think this is bad? Imagine having three names; you go by the 3rd, but always get addressed with the first. The first - WALTER.

This really isn’t so different from work in other places. That said, I think one reason why this person keeps at it is the profound inner sense of accomplishment of being able to thrive in a totally different culture, country, and language. He sounds very different from the few Dutch ppl I’ve come across in my career; they wouldn’t hesitate to tell you point-blank honest statements or preferences. This guy… for him to make it 5 years, and particularly 14 months in China… yeah, it’s downright impressive. The thing is, if he continues to work at the level he’s at, I’m certain he will eventually tire of it and move on too. At any rate, when life Berends on a visa, it’s tenuous. It’s super tough to stay in China beyond 25 years as a foreigner.

This is true... I still often don't know if instructions for entering data should include the "" or the <>...sometimes they seem to, often not. But seeing a screenshot would help.

Up in parts of Canada the restaurant that also served gas was Husky. If you needed gas, you'd say you're going to get gas, or go gas up. If you said let's go to the Husky, you meant let's go eat! No one ever went "to the Husky" for gas, but that was the gas station.

It's somewhat disconcerting to read how many readers didn't get the title, took halfway through the article to understand the title, and even once getting it, still complained about the title! If you get it, you got it; if you didn't, then once you did, just get it already... Demanding/requesting a title change to suit your perspective? How about expand your perspective, gratefully?

I really enjoyed the shock of seeing future Thor smack into the invisible barrier - his determination, the crescendoing music, the hope that _finally_ someone is going to do something... Splat.

What the post implies about the article (which I haven't read) is that in some measurable way this increased attention results in children growing into functioning, balanced, effective, productive, balanced, adults whose presence and efforts contribute in a more positive way to their community... but this expected result is not mentioned. It is also implied by comparing it to "the West" where, of course, it is easy to find examples of today's youth behaving selfishly, destructively, and self-centeredly. But looking at the accompanying image... well, there doesn't seem to be many opportunities for deviant behaviour in the middle of the jungle! I will eventually read the article, in which I'm expecting to find that these people live longer, assert more confidence, happiness and contentment, within peaceful and harmonious communities (since _everyone_ has had 15 hours of care growing up).

I feel like someone ought to acknowledge the Ghost reference for you. Thanks.

This is the way.

Many are still going to use this; few will bother to ponder and break the event down like this.

What an absolutely ridiculous statement. Go to reddit with that.

I've met lots of Egyptians in my life, but I've never met anyone from any countries that might claim to use classical Arabic. So if this is for non-Arab world Learners, I imagine that learning the dialect most likely to be encountered is fine.

These are all the exact reasons to do it! -the more of us who won't sign up because they won't take our domain-bsased email the quicker they will see these failed sign-ups and the reason, and adjust. - hmm. Let the account go dead I guess. They pay for that. - great, the more ppl who understand, the better!

I once flew to Ft St John from Vancouver then hitched to Liard Hot Springs Park where I camped the night in -36C, then hitched to Whitehorse where I worked for a few months, then realized that if I was going to see the Arctic before I had to leave the Yukon I'd better go NOW (in March). So I hitched from Whitehorse to the start of the Dempster Hwy, then hitched all the way to Inuvik (got a lift from a former mayor) where I visited for about 24 hours. It was that short because the last truck leaving for the ice bridges broke up was leaving the next day. Spent the next 5 days driving back down to the Lower Mainland. But that included crossing those melting ice bridges... Invigorating and terrifying. At one point, past the rivers, I asked the driver what all those slightly round brownish mounds were alongside the Dempster? Some kind of frost push-up? No! They were caribou carcasses! The right-of-way someone mentioned meant that these trucks would just barrel down the Dumpster and if a herd or bunch of caribou or whatever were in the road, the truck would plow through them. I asked why ... and he told me that if a truck tried to brake but lost control and went off the raised berm road that is the Dempster, the truck would sink too far into the permafrost before they could get a tow truck up there, and it would be stuck there forever, slowly sinking deeper into the permafrost. It was a wild few months in my younger days, let me tell ya!

I use several of these options (cloudron, caprover, easypanel, yunohost) because one of them has an app that the others don't. Umbrel has let me get a Nostr account and relay up and running, for example.

It's still reachable for me. Cool.

It is similiar to Mastodon in that most users (from my impression) still sign up at a main host, or instance, trusting that their sign-up data is secure (the important thing are keys which are generated upon sign-up). Once that initial account is created though, one can start using any number of other hosts which can also act as clients. This would be one difference - with Mastodon, your account made at ABC instance stays with that instance. Another similarity though is that anyone can make their own instance, generate their own users keys, and then start using any host/client they want, including obviously their own. So, federation (but federation within the nostr world only) happens mostly through the freedom of users to move about, and by users being able to make their own instances (which then have to have "relaying" turned on to help federate). Nostr though also has a way for users who've made their own instance to also turn it into a node which can receive sats as payment for being a node, and this aspect is often promoted in whatever article you find about Nostr, which has, in my opinion, the unintended side effect of scaring people away - partly because it is quite technical, and partly because it's scary crypto.

I am happy see Kazak included, even if it is at the very end. Some of these Central Asian languages which use a modified Arabic/Persian script keep getting overlooked by font foundries - there are some absolutely beautiful RTL fonts out there totally unusable for Kazak due to missing only 3-5 characters. Fortunately, UKIJ (http://www.ukij.org/fonts/) includes Kazak characters in their RTL fonts. Raxmet!

Self-host is the right term. They install and host their OS or software themselves on a VPS, NOT a homeserver or VM. Until they set it up, there is no "cloud". "Cloud" IS a service, OS, etc that someone else set up and which you (pay to) use, and which that someone else ultimately has control over.

So this guy wants to run the software themself (the "self-host") without the infrastructure (the VPS which they rent yearly and which they have had to install Debian or Unbuntu 22, along with git and all the other software) - AWS replaces the infrastructure, and while it is close being "the cloud" it is still different because setting it all is still up to the user. They are still in control of their own data (although I guess some rogue AWS employee could read the data).

If it's managed, isn't it their mail server? I mean, I can use my own domain and such, but as posters above said, "data independence" is important.

Without a tech stack it is impossible to self-host email, so, it is the hard part. Just this week I had huge problems with an expected email not reaching either of my gmail or outlook inboxes. It just never came, despite the sender insisting they sent it. This isn't an isolated case.

With MXRoute and my own self-hosted email, I'm slowly moving away from the big ones.

Well, we do it for the IPv4 address since most home internet is inaccessible outside of the physical home. Plus, even though the data is on someone else's machine, having it "out there" helps us feel interconnected.

I was a micro-entrepeneur, or auto-entrepeneur, in France, and unsolicited calls and messages started the very next day I registered. Don't ask me the about the email spam.

In case you all have overlooked this fact, we are all going to be this old person, soon. We have time to show kindness, and we have time to live an interesting, fulfilling life. I'm at a point when I wonder, when I hit that truly old stage, who will even believe the stories I could tell, never mind listen. It might be better to write a book, before I'mn old, so that it won't seem like just the ramblings of an old person.

Soon to be 10,001... I'm going to follow them later tonight.
