IMO, in person it's much nicer on the ears than the old single-tone beep that they used to have. It's less jarring and easier to locate where the noise is coming from, ye olde beep seemed to come from everywhere at once.

anyone else experiencing the slowdown?

We’re seeing this at Uploadcare. While we don't use Cloudflare for our own distribution, our ingest pipeline pulls files from external URLs. We've noticed a significant throughput drop specifically for source files hosted on Cloudflare over the last hours.

Yes, many activity trackers do this.

It is interesting to wear 2 of the same trackers, one in each wrist, and see if they are close to agreeing.

I do that with 2 Mi Bands.

The variance of a single point estimate is infinite.

TFA says the task could be procrastination too

> And don't forget that it could be "take a nap"!

Do you honestly think that my procrastination, or any other activity, needs permission from a list? There is nothing of substance that comes from writing something down, doing it, and crossing it off. It's a ritual of submission to your executive function. That submission has a price.

Look, I'm making an appeal to you, guys. This is called "Hacker News." Have all you Hackers gone corporate? Maybe you don't agree with me, but is my point really merely "self-absorbed" or "stupid" as one wag has put it?

You need to check your own privileges

Not everyone has had the luxuries of your life, some people need to actually work hard to get somewhere in life

Don't overgeneralize your experiences into others

And JS can detect that and send it back to the server.

I thought that it's hard to radiate-away heat in vacuum?

Dump the heat into the ground.

Seems that the World Map is "fixed" and does not rotate to keep it aligned with the hands (expectation is that New York hand should roughly point to New York on the map)?

It rotates on my machine... :(

Submitted lino includes hardcoded location, maybe that's what's tripping people up?

That's it!

I could've sworn I made sure not to include it when submitting. It does redirect to that if there's no location found so maybe HN updated the link to the redirect destination?

I'm pushing a change now to ignore this specific lat-lng combination and fallback to geolocation

Presumably when inhaled, since the lawsuit talks about talc containing asbestos.

Asbestos is an extremely stable mineral fiber and sharp like glass. If you get it on your skin it may penetrate but it will eventually probably slough off. If it gets in your lungs, it has nowhere to go and can continue damaging tissue for the rest of your life. Similarly, if it gets inside your body through other routes, it has nowhere to go. The lawsuit is about the product being marketed for feminine hygiene.

Presumably if women put it on their privates every day, and it contains asbestos fibers, they will eventually have enough asbestos migrate internally to cause cancer, for example, in their ovaries - just like asbestos causes lung cancer when inhaled.

Better translated as "Professor Fortran's Encyclopedia"?

Indeed. We'll change it. Thanks!

Submitted title was "Encyclopedia Professor Fortran" (which does have a Russian sound to it in English).
