Yeah, enough people say this that I avoid taking creatine knowing I have the genetic predisposition for male pattern baldness, despite the lack of solid evidence.

Although OP's post says "There is no mechanistic reason to think that would happen." but I don't think that's true. Creatine is known to increase DHT, and higher levels of DHT is linked to hair loss.

It's very common for people to switch networks many times a day anyway so it's not obviously a VPN user - even when switching countries to some extent.

Interesting that everybody knows when AWS goes down but Azure needs a "Tell HN" :)

Best of luck to the teams responding to this incident.

Part time work is possible.

I initially dropped to 4 days/week in lieu of a payrise (comp remained the same). Did that for a while and since then I've been working 2-4 days/week (3 right now)

It helped that it was a small company and I had been working there for 5+ years, not sure how I'd go about finding a part time software job otherwise. Everything is negotiable though.

I agree with the off-white/black reducing eye strain but HN is not a good example of readability in any way!

Wanted to add that according to the article, these checks will be required for all content, not just adult content.

I would guess it's more expensive than generating certs - all those ID verification "AI" services use teams of people as a fallback from what I know

This seems to be a very common misconception, but the cookie consent dialogues are not part of GDPR.

Not really that unusual - I'm 27 and missed out on dial up
