The level of tragedy here is impossible to fathom:
Anton Dovhopol, the head doctor at the Bucha hospital, suggested to Russian soldiers that they dig mass graves to prevent the dead bodies from spreading disease.
He also asked them to give civilians more time to get home before curfew. Since the Russians didn’t change their clocks to Ukrainian time when they invaded, civilians and troops were running on two different clocks.
“It was the difference between curfew times, that was when most people died,” he said.

Ask HN: User-configurable BI dashboards for document data stores?
It seems that most common BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau, Looker) require data to be in a relational model in order to have a good experience with the tool.When Mongo is listed as a supported data store it appears to be via a relational wrapper service (https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/).Are there any dashboarding tools that offer good native support for data in a document store?
Ask HN: What is your favorite introductory-level textbook?
Eleven years after graduating I have rediscovered how enjoyable it is to flip through a high quality intro textbook on a topic about which you are curious.I’ll go first:Calculus and Analytic Geometry (1951) by George ThomasIt’s readily available for < $10 and I find it’s style much more engaging than contemporary textbooks on the same topic.And a bonus one - when we had questions for the...

Not a scientific study, but a notable anecdote that struck me a while ago. Firefighters in SF reported a host of symptoms after a 5G unit was placed on their station: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/01/25/consumerwatch-5...

Ask HN: How fast do SaaS sales teams ramp up?
Modeling out a high-level proforma for how a seed round would get us from current state to Series A (say $250K MRR).One of the questions is how long it takes sales teams to start to get productive. (Bit of a J curve from a cash pov for each hire.)Any good data points on what the norm is for this?Grateful for any thoughts / references here :)
Ask HN: Commercial WiFi thermometers with custom API endpoint?
Looking for battery-powered, WiFi-enabled thermometers that can be placed in a fridge or freezer that can send data to a custom endpoint (i.e. my server and not the cloud platform of the manufacturer). Also acceptable would be a device that sends to the manufacturer's cloud, so long as one can easily forward data to one's own endpoint.The irony is that these aren't too hard to build with a...
Re:Ask HN: What is your comfort book?

Couldn't agree more. 99% of the time I feel blocked, frustrated, etc - I pick it up and read (almost at random) and it also helps reset mindset. This in particular is one of my favorite passages:
"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
