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


>Now does it bring __value__ to my life? No

You find it fascinating and interesting, you're discovering niche communities and engaging with them. You (presumably) enjoy creating content. That's value. Fun, entertainment and communication all have value.


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The publication has not been peer reviewed, and quotes several times articles published by the original author with similar claims.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


How is it misinfo? I am just saying it is a potential risk as you litterly fold proteins.

What's wrong with questioning something completely experimental?

Sure, it needs to be looked into more not a definite it is causing prions but could be a risk in the future.


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.


The problem with _cfduid is that it is essentially a third-party cookie (even if it's set on your own domain).

So I think you are still required to inform users of the cookie usage, the purpose of the cookies and link to the relevant Cloudflare privacy/cookie policies.


This is what I assumed too.


They wanted to get rid of cookies as much as possible as that's part of their business plan (privacy). So they found a better CDN that didn't use cookies at all, so I'd say they made out like a bandit.


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.


I mean, that's the Economist, literally the publication this article is from.

There's literally no other English-language news publication for a general educated readership that is higher quality, denser, and focused on the whole world rather than any single country.


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 stopped getting my news from social media, and started subscribing to The Economist and the Financial Times.


Reuters doesn't make you pay, but it's pretty good. I'm not sure how it is for UK news, but for world and US news it seems to be pretty straight.


But there's also other companies/services like Picpay and stuff right?


There are, and they are registered as payment processors or e-wallets. Facebook isn't.


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.
