John, I've been following your work for years (including back in the old lemonodor years). I just wanted to say thank you here, for sharing your expertise for all on this topic, and for all the other tremendous work you've done. What an inspiration.


I feel for you my friend.

From my experience, having young kids is a very difficult time for relationships. Couple that with all the challenges around the pandemic and other current craziness, and things get even tougher.

From my experience also, as your child gets older that part of the stress tends to settle down and things feel better and relationships do generally improve.

Having said that, I'm a big fan of couples' counseling, which I think all couples can benefit from, regardless of the state of their relationship. IMHO, the ability to communicate is of primary importance, and it's not something that we're just born knowing how to do. One huge benefit from couples counseling is learning open communication with kindness.

Here's hoping things get better soon. Take care of yourselves!


I'm betting on some kind of glitch on the State Department website, but it's an interesting historical note that when Richard Nixon formally resigned in August 1974, he did so via a brief letter to then Secretary of State Kissinger.


I support this ban.

I’m a physician. In addition to this president inciting a riot, this president and his supporters are complicit in using social media to promote unscientific, self-serving views that strike at the health of my patients and adversely affect American healthcare in general.

Enough is enough.


Looks like they are fixing this, but good grief, isn't anyone in Stanford's well-paid hierarchy looking out for these young doctors?

Residents, nurses, and other front-line healthcare workers should be receiving these inoculations TODAY.

Residents have enough stress without needing to demonstrate to force an organization to simply review the results of "algorithms" and do the right thing.


“Capturing the Unicorn” - the story of The Unicorn Tapestries and the mathematician brothers Gregory and David Chudnovsky:

Having followed this story for some time, I grieve with the family as much as an outsider can.

This brave family's story is an inspiration.

Dr. Might's linked post includes many ways to help honor Bertrand's legacy, and to help others.

Thanks to Bertrand, Dr. Might, and his family for bringing more light into the world.


Thank you for all of it, Dr. Graham!

What a life.


Worthy of HN border acknowledgment, please.


Second this, very much so. I’ve emailed the mods.

EDIT: I typo’d the email address but we got a black bar so.


I had always wondered about that. Is there a full collection of info about this site? There always seem to be random things like a black bar without even a comment in code or a page like https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors that I'm not even sure how to find other than I saw someone else mention it once.


Treat the site a little like a text adventure, akin to Colossal Cave Adventure or other text-based interactive fiction. HN is a world to explore, with items to uncover and treasures to discover.

There are clues ...


This is extremely off-topic, but it's a collapsed subthread already, so I think it's fine:

Black bar = honoring the dead.

/topcolors = list of colors that people have set their top bar to be.


Emacs with org-mode.


org-mode is too good though, I always find myself getting distracted by all the great things I can do to optimise the note-taking I'm not doing
