I'm working on this food logging app / personal health dashboard that I'm building for myself.

I was asked to log my food by a dietician I'm working with, because I was constantly feeling hunger after cycling training.

But all the solution out there were quite complex to input data, and I just want to write down plain text with some additional markup and be able to generate some graphs and recognize some patterns out it.

Decided to do it T3 and throw in all those weird technologies just to see what's out there.

I started using TikTok for a couple of weeks now and started to find it fascinating, the communities that are built around the bubbles the algorithm creates are quite interesting and have discussion between themselves. It's easy to reach out to actual subject mater experts for non-technical stuff, people you wouldn't typically see on HN or Reddit.

Now does it bring __value__ to my life? No

Will I keep participating and creating content just to engage in these niche communities? Yes

New account, publication is made by someone @vaccines.net which claims the following "We are concerned that the current outbreak of COVID-19 is actually a bioweapon attack and may be linked to the US anthrax attack of 2001, which originated from the US army base Fort Detrick."

The publication has not been peer reviewed, and quotes several times articles published by the original author with similar claims.

Are we spread miss information in HN now too?

I can second this, this what I usually do when I want to taste new coffees that are very expensive and I don't want to dial in. It's basically like doing a cupping with a Aeropress.

I would just some changes, water would be just out of boil (otherwise it's hard to extract light roasts), I would grind medium/medium-fine, and I would break the crust that is on top after the 3 min.

James is good, tho, that series is focused on Espresso. Other channels people might find interesting:

About the logistical part. Wendover did on Youtube a really great video explaining the cold chain in international shipping and what companies are already doing to be ready for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byW1GExQB84

Is it necessary to get consent from the user about _cfduid?

From what I understand functional cookies are excluded from the consent banner.

I read the Economist from time to time, never subscribed, but always seems to be a bit longer, trying to give some sort of opinion even if very politically unbiased then I would want.

I straight up just want to get a list of things that happened and some context information. I can do research on the topic if I find worth the time.

I have been search for quite a while for a service that I could subscribe (pay) to get a list of high quality, information dense, writing, about current world events.

I haven't yet found anything that I would be satisfied with. I looked at Substack but most journalist there seem to be basically running blogs.

You don't but you could make the point that since they are not open source, you will never be sure about it.

Even if GDPR should protect against it.

Really cool idea. Thanks for sharing.

I could totally see myself using this more if you added 2 options, language and game.

Also interesting would be to display not only 0 streams but also streams with <10 viewers.

Same here, I have been struggling organising my time more then usual and since my company works as hourly I'm getting lots of anxiety, never knowing if I'm working enough or not.

Your kids aren't the target market. This is for a young or older adult who has been into gaming his entire life and wants to pay a premium for a very well game (hopefully) device with can offer a unique experience. It's somewhat of a novelty item, but I see there's definitely a market for it.

m1aw — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 18:06:50 +0000

This is what annoys me. The geek and idealist in me doesn't want to give her a diamond because it's not that valuable. Yet, I don't want to be cheap. I don't want her to feel like I don't value her enough.

I feel like someone could build a game with this. Where you see the code being writen as you make your choises.

That would be super cool.

Anyway, that's an amazing job you did OP.
