shardinator··on Biomarker predicts severity of Covid-19 infection early on
That would make sense. I wonder if, laying on the stomach is actually freeing the phrenic nerve, allowing the diaphragm to work better, and therefore providing more oxygen.
shardinator··on China Builds Missile Targets Shaped Like U.S. Aircraft Carrier in Remote Desert
Well if you use a simple convolutional neural network and can get within visual range, hitting the target should be trivial.
shardinator··on Ask HN: How do you tackle your own negativity?
Sure thing. I think I should be able to post it here by the beginning of Dec.
shardinator··on Ask HN: How do you tackle your own negativity?
Actually I had to devise most of this myself as I've had a physical & mental, disability that was getting worse and worse with no cure or useful treatment. I'm writing things up at the moment, basically an explanation of how muscular imbalances lead to brain and nerve dysfunction causing (possibly explaining, depression, anxiety and a whole lot of other things) and what to do about it.

I should be able to share in a few weeks, if you're interested can you send me a message twitter.com/shardinator and I'll send you an early copy. Else I'll post something here when it's a little more fleshed out.

shardinator··on Ask HN: How do you tackle your own negativity?
Massage under the mastoid process of the temporal bone. This will release pressure on your Limbic System in general, improving your emotional connection to the world, and in particular will let your Amygdala to settle reducing your sense of fear, in turn making you a more joyful and open person. Long term you want to find a way to strengthen and balance your Deep Neck Flexors and Deep Neck Extensors, however how to do that effectively is a very open question.

I might be able to help with the car accident injury. I had a rear-end car accident 11 years ago. I know the pain/suffering. It's like nothing you can imagine till you have it and then it never goes away, worst of all no professional knows what to do about it.

The last two years I've read pretty much everything and contacted every researcher/research group working on this. They have some good material, but eventually I had to adapt their work into my own techniques. I'm now about 80-90% fixed and in a few months I think I'll be all good.

I've developed an exercise program along with an elastic head sling that supports and strengthens the neck. If you're interested DM me on twitter https://bit.ly/2LTVMMl and I'll send you some info about how I did it, you might have to modify some things but I think the basic ideas will apply.

shardinator··on A Brief Cultural History of the Parking Lot
Exactly
shardinator··on The fight to 'free' the Aboriginal flag
The government should make a one-off large payment and buy the rights. Of course the details could be complex, but it’s a starting point.

We laugh, but that's pretty much how the Mongol empire was created :)

shardinator··on Covid-19 Open Research Dataset
Lucene does sound good, but I don't have any experience with it so I can't get anything happening quickly. But very happy to have help if you can?
shardinator··on Covid-19 Open Research Dataset
I have a few apps that I host with a cloud provider (scalingo.com) and initially I can cover the costs. If there’s a lot of traffic because it proves to be helpful there are a few groups I could ask to help with some funding.

For now I’m building a custom index with mongoDB - if anyone is familiar with building ES queries, would be keen to chat about how that might be better.

I'll post a link here later today.

10mbs on a good day. 5mbps is more common - inner city suburb.
shardinator··on Ask HN: What SaaS expenses do you wish you could reduce?
I highly recommend scalingo.com - it’s actually a better product (imo) and costs about half as much.
shardinator··on Is Amazon Unstoppable?
It will be stopped by millions of smaller stores being on a single platform with the ability to get a product in 1hr to overnight within the same metro area. The challenge is to categorise the inventory at those millions - can start with thousands - of local stores. Once that happens, watch out amazon.

shardinator··on Misery of a nuclear war between India and Pakistan would be global
India and Pakistan may be enemies on paper, and there may be genuine animosity among a small minority. But most Indian and Pakistani people get along very well - to imagine that they would nuke each other in anything but a highly limited tactical way is a great way of suggesting you have absolutely no understanding of the situation.
shardinator··on Unsteady income in young adulthood linked to thinking problems in middle age
Hey, would love to connect. I’ve been looking for a few who’ve been there and have appropriate skills. Can be remote/nomadic. Not sure how HN works on the backend - are you able to send me an email or PM?

Just joking, but how about 'nonymisation' or 'non-nonimysation'
