That's also why there was no screening for thyroid cancer after above-ground nuclear weapons testing. Thyroid cancer itself isn't that hard to treat. So the risk of follow-on testing outweighed cancer risk.
It only reinforces OP's point. I don't see sports fans discussions productive in any way.

I always enjoy reading your thoughtful comments on this topic.

What do you think about the indirect rebuttal to some of your points made here — http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagger... — in sections II and IV? It seems to respond to two arguments you've made: that (a) other countries having better representation of women in STEM shows that the issue is culturally determined; and that (b) the relative smallness of the gender gap in fields like law, math, and medicine contradicts the idea that women caring more about people than things would necessarily show up in aggregate career choices.

Agreed. Our CFO tried to help me but was transitioning out to spend more time with his family. Would have loved to have worked with the CFO instead of the GC. (This was also a time when the company had no real HR department and the GC was effectively head of HR).
Wow! There are five times as many dumps if you zoom out. That's an interesting way to implement map panning.
>VR is going to be a real game-changer for entertainment

I think the jury is still very much out on this. Personally, I hate VR. Its claustrophobic, asocial, dizzying, and I do not like the idea of giving software my entire field of view either. Cheap HMDs are going to be nice, but I don't know how well they're going to do outside the hardcore gamer demographic. I can't imagine watching a movie with friends with each of us wearing these things or even playing a console game with the other players in the room.

AR gaming, on the other hand, isn't something that gets much press, but I can really see some novel uses. Imagine playing something like "Gone Home" but in your home. Clues hidden in your real-life closets, drawers, etc. Or peering into the mirror in your bathroom and seeing the main characters face instead of yours. Or something in the background that's not really there.
"Convertible debt" - what a gimmick.

The bond Uber placed with Goldman Sachs’ private clients is a six-year bond that will convert into equity at a 20 percent to 30 percent discount to Uber’s valuation at the time of an initial public offering. ... The convertible bond carries a coupon that increases over time if Uber hasn’t gone public within 4 years.

The distinction between debt and equity is diminishing. Traditionally, debt has no upside, and in exchange, creditors are paid ahead of equity holders in bankruptcy. Convertible debt is secured debt if things goes bad, and equity if things go well. So, no matter what happens, convertible debt holders are at the head of the line.

They even get to deduct the interest paid up to the conversion. Then it's a long term capital gain. This is an argument for ending the deductibility of interest.

The question is, if Uber is so great, why do they need to raise so much cash? It's not an inherently expensive business to run. They don't hire the drivers or buy the cars. Uber is just an app, a scheduling back end, and a marketing operation. Is it that the original funders want to cash out?
I guess we're already doing these. We use a pull request workflow and I get an email when a developer creates the pull request. I inspect the changes in the request and approve and/or merge the changes into our main development branch. EZPZ
As far as I can tell, a big difference is that Google's concept video looks very little like actually using it, whereas Microsoft's is clearly just a better version of their live demo. The live demo was amazing.
Our friend Bayes and his theorem can help us here. Suppose you have an HIV test which is 95% accurate in detecting if you are HIV positive or not. The HIV rate in the US is about 0.3%.

If you subject a random American to this HIV test and the test result is positive, what is the probability that that person has HIV? I wont do the math, but the right answer is about 2%. Since the prevalence of HIV is so low it doesn't matter how accurate the test it, it will still generate many times more false positives than true ones.

Same thing with bombs. The number of American air passengers/year is about 800 million/year and of them, at most 5 are carrying explosives. Even if the bomb detector is 99.9% accurate it will generate thousands of false positives for each real bomb it catches.
Hey I'm happy you gave Panelbear a try! It's always nice to hear someone is using what I've built.

Regarding the free tier, I decided to offer it after hearing many people saying "I wish there was a free alternative for a blog that gets less than <50k views per year" :)

There's no strings attached. Only volume limits and shorter data retention (to prevent my AWS costs from blowing up).

About traffic spikes (eg. reaching the front page of HN): even if you go over the limits, the system won't start rate limiting you for another 72 hours - that way you won't lose data during traffic spikes.

Hope it helps!
Can we just designate Russia as a rogue state and sanction the fuck out of them already? Annexing Crimea, shooting down MH17, Meddling in the '16 US election, meddling in the Brexit vote, poisoning Navalny, meddling in the '20 US election and now this massive hack. A government should not be able to act like that and still get to to interact normally with the rest of international society.
I’d love to see the same outrage energy and money directed elsewhere directed to fighting this scourge. It affects all classes of people -bar none.

I want to see marches. I want to see demands. I want to see sit ins. Denouncements. New curriculums, HR initiatives, Training, etc.

I’m afraid there is no money to be made.
It says on the website "TARGET MARKET PRICE: €24000

I'm in a similar boat. My car has been recalled (airbag issue). The nearest dealer who can do the service is 175km away. Being in a "town" of over 10,000 people doesn't mean you have honda/ford/toyota dealership nearby. The nearest tesla dealer is over 600km away. I have never seen a tesla round these parts and doubt I will for many years.
The reason is robot property rights, isn't it?

If I sell you a robot, which is capable of cleaning and trading stocks, and that robot owns $100 of crypto, it can trade and randomly give you things, if it profits. This is possible with crypto.

It'd be doable with fiat.. i suppose the robots would be considered a trust or something, and they'd just be "leased" to the customer or something, but that sounds like bs. I just wanna sell people a robot that also owns crypto.
This reminds me of a supplier that was notorious in the security industry for stacking the sales dept with very friendly but otherwise unqualified "closers". I can't imagine that sales strategy is working so well right now.
I either do not have this issue, or it doesn't show up for me on the battery usage page. Are you sure it is widespread? (I have no GAPPS, LineageOS 17.1 -- on Galaxy S4).

With that said, there is some work being done towards a FLOSS replacement for firebase [1]. Gotify can be used as a backend [2], among others ([3] too, I think). Not ready for prime-time, but almost, and development started pretty recently (mid-December).

> Given p≤0.05, you'd expect 19/20 to be reproducible.

No, that's not the case; follow your link to "Why Most Published Research Findings are False" to see why that's not the case. The "positive predictive value" of a discovery, even without any bias, is very different from what the p value would imply.
Print on a transparent with a laser printer, then copy the resulting relief with wood glue.
For example if the caller needs the result of a possible long running task, ie success or fail, then it has to maintain state in a way to associate the async queue message back to the task. Zeromq has the concept of request/reply to handle this, its more problematic with plain old queues, the solution ive worked with is mq for tasks, rest calls for results. Yes it sucks.

It would be both incredibly cool and valuable to show up with all of the orbital infrastructure already in place (communications/positioning) waiting for us.
I actually had no idea, sorry.
So, I see what you're saying, but I maintain that without first-order functions, you can't do anything useful with code organization.

If you wanted to simulate that, imagine writing in C or C++ or Javascript using only functions, only returning copies of things changed by the function, and never referencing global state.

There's nothing particularly magic about that, other than better testability--it's just really slow and obnoxious imperative code. When you start passing around functions and currying values, though, then you're actually starting to see cool things happening.

Legally, he was detained. He wasn't arrested. Those are two very different things.
Sure, you could get large Bitcoin miners to get certified with some authority, so that they can put a stamp on their website that tracks all of the transactions that were made with renewable energy.

However, people can, and will, lie and cheat for profit. In this case it's in the form of PR and playing nice with the Government, possibly for tax reasons.

We've seen this same story play out in the car industry[0], and that has far fewer (albeit far larger) players that need to be properly regulated.

So, from a technical perspective, how would you achieve this goal? Could one mathematically and cryptographically prove that the work was done using renewable energy? I don't know, that's something for someone much smarter than me to figure out.

Thanks! It seems the solution is to make a ton of legs and a ton of seats, and then to not slap them together until the day the patents expire.
That's Tesla as it was originally drawn by Mr. Musk. You know, tough childhood, all that.
I think you are still talking about a supply side issue there.

If a drab suburb only has 10% population growth but massive increase in home prices that is because the town council has only increased the available lots by 10%. There are a lot more people in the DC metro area now so the increase of people who want to live in your suburb has probably doubled in that 30 years.

Of course if a town issues no new building permits as the surrounding areas grow of course demand per unit will go up.
How do links make it to the front page of HN with 13 points? Genuinely curious. Also what is this?
What did you migrate from?
Again, I don't mean to imply that anyone owes me anything. But as I said, I'm not the one who decided how much housing to build. And I'm not the one who decided how much rent to charge. Both of those decisions were made by "native" Californians (whatever that means). So all I'm objecting to is the notion that I (and other "transplants") the ones solely responsible for this mess.
I think it's basically a weird-looking RV.
Fine, I'll remove the hyperbole:

(That doesn't change the fact that it's wrong. And spamming is wrong.)

I bet he doesn't grin thinking about how many things can Emacs do other than editing text. That said, I like people with peculiar workflows, they open up ideas and discussions.

p.s. xmonad + vim is the true way ;-)
Really fascinating piece. Most interesting medical paragraph in the piece:

ONE OF THE COMMON PITFALLS for clinicians who treat type two diabetes occurs when they prescribe metformin to young women. Metformin decreases insulin resistance, which helps reduce blood sugar. Insulin resistance is also what causes infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as type two diabetes. Often, women thought to be infertile become pregnant after taking metformin. Sometimes, of course, this delights them, but sometimes it does not. Contraception does not normally seem like one of the things diabetes doctors need to emphasize. But obesity commonly underlies infertility in women, just as it also causes the growth of facial hair. And, in men, the growth of breast tissue. Adipose tissue secretes estrogens and insulin resistance increases levels of androgens. Diabetes is overwhelmingly the most common cause of male impotence in the developed world. Men and women are designed to move, and when we do not, our immobility reduces us in every respect.

Most interesting non-medical paragraph:

THE OLDEST of the bowhead whales in the Arctic Ocean have lived for two hundred years. We know this because when they are killed and examined today, we find ivory harpoon heads lodged in their skin. The implication is that they were large enough to be hunted prior to the arrival of the Hudson Bay Company and its steel harpoon heads in the 1830s. Isotopic analysis of the whales’ eyes confirms the point: these whales were calves during the Napoleonic Wars. They are certainly the longest-lived mammals on the planet. Indeed, they may be the longest-lived complex animals of any sort.

Thank you for posting this.
I love this quote, why he did this:
"One of the things I learned was that bad things can only happen if good people do nothing. I consider myself to be a good person, so I had no choice but to act when I saw something like this happening."
For me it's about convenience rather than speed; I find myself switching between navigating and editing a lot, not having to switch between the keyboard and the mouse is very convenient.

That said, I think I'd perform your example-interaction faster with the keyboard and my knowledge of the shortcuts in Vim. It's probably due to accuracy (with a Vim movement command I know exactly what is targeted -- no need to aim with the mouse).

Merry Christmas!
Don't buy it. I don't know how applestore ou imported products are in india, but in Brazil are fucking expensive.

I can easily get the same hardware/display/everything for half of the price, at least here.

Only buy that MBP when the MBP money isn't a real big issue for you. For now it seens that you need money for that future startup.

I know that everybody here will tell about quality, OSX(which is good!) and so on... but it's not worth it for you, for now.

I've been in that dillema for the last months. I ended up not buying anything.

Money for us, in third world countries is harder to get, you aren't making 100k/year like most of people here seens to make after they have just graduated.

1. Most definitely yes. An understood agreement is all well and good until one of your clients decides not to pay. If you keep working for while I assure you that it will happen.

2. Ask the company you will doing the work for to write up a contract. Read through it if you find anything that would need a lawyers attention then you can hire one.

3. You probably should look for corporate lawyer locally, ideally someone who can understands your situation and not charge you for every second.
The home page has lost a lot of noise. I think they've done a good job of identifying the main reasons people would ever end up at the home page: sign in, sign up or search. The sign up and sign in forms used to be a click away.

I think the new homepage has lost a bit of the personality that Twitter once had and I think they'll find that people have trouble understanding what exactly the bar of user avatars is all about.

Doing design work (or anything significantly intellectually stimulating) late at night isn't conducive to becoming a morning person.
Are some browsers going straight to www.reddit.com, perhaps?
I think the convicted can answer this question better than I. They almost always prefer to keep living.
Fair enough, to elaborate: I became a morning person by jumping out of bed as soon as I was awake. Keep it up long enough, and you might notice (as was the case with me) that the morning becomes a fruitful and enjoyable start of the day. The advantage of having good mornings is that it affects your entire day.

Looking out of your window onto sunny empty streets, with a whole day of hacking (and lazy breaks outdoors) ahead of you, is fantastic.
Switzerland has been seizing assets lately though. For example, they recently seized Gaddafi's assets there.
My experience was, they stole $50,000 from me.

Never pay up front, even if you've been doing business with them for years.
I am surprised at how much I miss comment karma being visible. I scoffed at those who said they used it to gauge comments to consider versus skim past, but it turns out, it's exactly what I'd been doing. I guess I hadn't realized the amplification of the comment volume that has happened lately.
Figure out how much sleep you need per day, and try to set up a rigid schedule where you wake up when you want to and go to bed the required hours before the time.

Hacks for getting to sleep at a specific time:

- Take an hour long walk, go to the gym or go running during the day to get more tired.

- Try to get exposed to direct sunlight during the day, this is supposed to do something in your brain that helps it maintain the circadian cycle.

- Use F.Lux to keep your monitor from blasting your brain with sunlight analogue wavelengths in the evening.

- Try a cold shower or a cold bath about an hour before bedtime. Several people have reported that this helps them sleep.

- Have a schedule for doing specific non-open-ended stuff that doesn't get you anxious or worked out for half-an-hour to an hour before bedtime. The repeating ritual will prime your brain for sleep.

- Don't read in bed. Make your brain associate being in bed only with sleeping.

- Try meditation. Either do sitting meditation right before bed, or do mindfulness meditation while lying in bed.

- Maintain a very small sleep deprivation, like sleeping half an hour less than you would without any alarms, to fall asleep quickly.

- Fast during the day and eat a carbohydrate heavy meal right before bed. Post-dinner coma will knock you out.

Hacks for waking up:

- Set an alarm 60 or 90 minutes before the time you really wake up, eat a 100 mg caffeine pill and go back to sleep. The caffeine will kick in while you're asleep and you'll wake up when it's fully effective.

- Get a sunrise lamp or rig one up yourself with a power timer. The light will prime your brain for getting up when it's time to wake up.

- If you have a smartphone with an accelerometer, see if there's a smart alarm clock app that will detect when you're sleeping lightly and wake you up then. There's ElectricSleep for Android and EasyWakeup for iPhone.

- Committing to attending something early in the morning like 8 AM will make you anxious to wake up and get up in time. Anxiety isn't very fun though.

- Use mind judo to get up from bed without willpower: http://lesswrong.com/lw/fh/willpower_hax_487_execute_by_defa...

- If you've gotten yourself out of the bed at the time you want, but feel like going right back in, try a shower, a walk, or a run to make your body wake up a bit more.

It's much harder to spend two consecutive nights sleeping much less than usual to adjust to an early wakeup time than a single night.
We've been talking about the same thing in engtools over the last few weeks... we should set up a meeting :)

> Noise clearly falls into broad penumbra of "environment", which also includes many other random factors.

Why? Noise is an unpredictable development. There's no reason to expect it to be exogenous; it's very easy for the genotype to specify that an outcome should be more or less unpredictable.
