Try scaling back all forms of social media + notification-based apps and start re-adding them incrementally, one variable at a time, and track how you feel and think in response to each new addition. It takes a while but opens your eyes to the egregious behavior modification taking place on these platforms at scale.

I'm at a point in my life where I only care about major, materially-significant news events that could impact my health/safety and the safety of people I care about. I treat all other content as ignorable, nice-to-have at best.

Thanks for the reply, flave.

Yeah, we have perhaps 4 quite different customer types [student, researcher, research group/lab and student classes/lab]. Currently we have a single lab tier which was designed for research groups but it seems a number of universities want to use that tier for their classes. We didn't expect this use-case and the "per seat" pricing in this tier doesn't work for this case.

We've run the numbers and generally the two lab based use-cases look like so:

Accounts used for research contain:
- a low number of experiments
- a high number of participants/results
- long(er) "active" time per experiment

Accounts used for teaching:
- a high number of experiments
- a low number of participants/results
- short(er) "active" time per experiment

The conclusion we've reached is that we need tiers based upon n experiments and n participants/results (with options to increase both). This would allow lab licensees to add/remove/transfer accounts at will.

I'd still be interested to hear from others who've moved from "per seat" to other metrics.
But in principle, who is doing the manufacturing, and getting a production ready design?

Hearing "Taipei-based notebook manufacturer" I think already tells how it is, but I myself is totally OK with OEM laptops, especially if you put running Linux a priority.

I had my own plans for making a designed from scratch x86 laptop with AMD Ryzen chipset a year ago. Covid of course made a change to my plans.
He has cemented it, but I think op means formalized with express intent of autocracy.
Ah, thanks. It does look pretty functional from my limited experience so far, plus I think these debates are very academic. You can write purely functional Python if you want, it's just going to be neither easy nor practical.
It's pretty tough to establish direct cause and effect. It's certainly possible that an online petition (facebook group, etc) contributed to the idea that lots of voters care about an issue.
Alright, I'll make sure that from now on I don't have any data from before the async operation that I need to access after the async operation.
And what happens when these videos are leaked to the press, or some hair-brained politico wants to post them up on his mugshot website.
Accountability is great, but so is innocent until proven guilty. Hopefully systems will be put in place to curb abuse, but I doubt it.
"I think there are similarities between the nuclear power debate and the GMO debate. In both case, I think it's stupid to be fundamentally opposed to the technology/research itself. But in both case, the industry is so fucked up (lies, too close ties with control authority, ...) that I don't trust them at all."

If you look around you'll find a lot more examples than these two, and you'll trace the root cause as illegitimate use of government force, i.e. use or threat of violence for what is simply peaceful activity.

If someone threatens you with violence, "for your own good", you tend not to trust. But for some reason, when government does this very same thing, most people still trust it. It's like how children still trust parents even though the parents might restrain or even spank them (and this makes good evolutionary sense), but the difference is that the government is not your parent, it does not actually have a concern for you as an individual, it doesn't love you. It is a collection of strangers with their own agendas.

Somehow, government has figured out how to not only co-opt this evolutionary circuitry that was meant for trusting parents at a time when the child really doesn't know what's good for him, and what's more, extend this infantile frame of mind beyond childhood.

All of this recent NSA stuff is just getting toward the final consequences of allowing yourself to adopt such a childish frame of mind. The government has no more right to take a threatening or coercive action against innocent people than any stranger does.
I think I've seen one long term self-study that was ~18 months which said it worked for them. I've seen plenty of fallen off the wagon, or cautiously optimistic though.

Maybe a mixed solution would work, biphasic sleep during the week when you're maximising productivity, monophasic when it's less important (holidays etc) to get around the constraints. Not sure, I might experiment with it.
>cease and desist then they are in contempt of court

No. A cease and desist is a letter drafted by anyone asking someone to stop doing something. It's not a court order and the court is not involved in it, so you can't be held in contempt.
Use of force is a hot button issue, but both police and fire personnel have a lot of critical situations where not adhering to safety procedures can get someone hurt or killed. Once you get past use of force, there are more similarities than differences.
As much as I like Signal, my vote goes to Matrix because there is no dependency on a phone number and the network is built with federation in mind.

And there are several clients out there that are compatible, it doesn't lock you inside an "official" client.

A naive algorithm that parses privacy policies for certain keyphrases would be a good starting point, without requiring cooperation from website owners. After all, why would you use an icon that lowers your conversion rate?
I've seen a chat bot that's indistinguishable from a real human being. It reaches that goal by acting like a stupid and rude 12 year old kid who think he's cool and l33t.

hey man
wtf u talking about

thats shit
whatever

You can't tell whether he's really an annoying 12 years old or whether he's a bot.
I downvoted you for the same reason I downvoted the other guy.

You are speaking in vague generalities, with authority, on matters about which you are apparently ignorant. Moreover, your propagating this misinformation is detrimental to attitudes about depression, both for those who might be afflicted and the public as a whole.

Depression is a serious problem which should be addressed through science, credible education, and consultation with professionals.

The comment you are defending is utterly asinine. Persistent depression is far more likely to be the result of cognitive-behavioral factors and/or physiological factors rooted in genetics than it is to be the result of bad life circumstances aside from some negative extremes.

Furthermore, you grant that people are "unable to take responsibility for their emotional life" and yet somehow also support the patent contradiction to that idea in suggesting that "fix it or accept it" is acceptable advice.

Your final line (in addition to conflating freedom from depression with "being happy") belies a kind of moralistic thinking about mental health. Would you say that broken legs are essential to social stability? Or ulcers?
Very cool - dictation seems almost perfect.

Some key things to get my to commit...

- feeling very “locked in” already ... ability to export notes is important

- search! With results ranked by a mix of most recent, most read ... relevancy also matters but not as much as the recency (a note I just created) or most read (a note I keep going back to) ... the latter implies keeping track of how often I read notes

- sharing outside of the app eg to Signal / WhatsApp

That's not interesting to any tech blog. Because 1. the googleReaderIsDead story is dead now, and 2. "A new kind of a Google Reader Alternative" is not a story anyone would want to read.

If you want to be in the news, you need something newsy. Some kind of hook. If you can't find that, you're not newsy, nobody will be interested in your project and they won't write about you.

Is there anything at all about the app that stands out? That would peek someone's interest? Once you identify that, you can try contacting them again. You need a pitch.

In other words: HOW is it new and interesting? WHAT makes it so great?
It's awesome, design and animations need little tweaks. But another issue is. HN API Health? It's pretty bleak time to time.
This is not a "Clojure thing."

The advice to noobs not to go hog wild with macros is common among experienced Lisp programmers in all dialects. Paul Graham himself refers to it in _On Lisp_: Chapter 8 is titled "When to Use Macros" and the first section is "When Nothing Else Will Do."
Most of OpenBSD's attack mitigation is at the kernel or libc level. It applies equally to the base system and third party software.
Actually, we were a technology company. We developed embedded systems for RFID/ NFC technology to sell and license to OEMs. Firmware for DSPs and MCUs is some of the harder technology I've been involved with. I'm not sure I understand your point.

FYI, ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit.
Bitcoins are attractive because they are intrinsically stable. Diamonds will become worthless if we find a way to make them cheaply, the Picasso may turn out to be a fake, and the Cayman islands might suddenly decide to print a few trillion dollars. All of which means your net worth is subject to the availability, accuracy, and governmental decisions of whatever your storage medium is.

Bitcoin doesn't have this vulnerability, unless the majority decides it does. There cannot be rapid inflation due to "printing" bitcoins, unless the majority decides to allow it. The system cannot declare bankruptcy, because it's not backed by anything which can determine its intrinsic value.

It's a foreign currency that no single anything controls. It can wax and wane in value compared to other currencies, as any value-exchange system can, but if it becomes "the" currency, it'll be the first stable, totally-trustable currency ever, because transactions and amounts cannot be faked. Assuming quantum computers can't be made cheap enough to allow attacking the system to be valuable, as it relies on public key cryptography and difficult hashing functions (not sure how quantum computing effects hashing functions).
Tell me something, it's still we, the people, right?
You discovered the difference between "works" and "can be made to work". There are many people who still believe they are synonymous.
> but yet keeps the compiletime/runtime distinction

Could you elaborate on that? I don't see what you mean.

Interestingly, Python usually also gets compiled---though the target language (Python's byte code) is still very dynamic.
I like Twilight Struggle a great deal, but I find its top BGG ranking somewhat odd.

I'd wager there's a sort of selection effect: the sort of person willing to sit down for a 2 player game in the first place is probably the sort of hard-core gamer who enjoys highly complex brainburners, and thus is more likely to rate it highly.

Compare that to the sort of moderate/casual boardgamer who prefers something along the lines of 7 Wonders. The former will play 7 Wonders and (may) give it a mediocre rating, while the latter aren't even going to try TS. Just a theory.

And for the record, the last time I played, TS took 5 hours, but neither of us were fluent and were thus often consulting the rules and/or stuck in analysis paralysis.
I wonder if that also improves average fuel economy, since there is less stop-and-go with roundabouts vs traffic lights.
You're missing the point. Many maths students learn to dislike math because they cannot remember the rules, or they find them frustrating to use. They are often trying to appease the teacher by mimicking the process.

Meanwhile, the better students don't bother memorizing the rules, they just focus on solving the problem. Once they see how the problem is solved, those rules either come naturally, or are supplanted by some other process that also works.

This is not about parlor tricks, but about creative thinking. How do you determine whether your 'trick' works or not? How do you know if the problem is solved? Most students believe a problem is solved when they get the 'right answer' -- which often includes "doing what they were told." This is NOT how you identify a solution to a problem. The students who are left behind are the ones who never figure this out.
I enjoy books like this, but they feel like entertaining books without much that is truly useful.

The one thing I love about magic psychology, which is a huge and complex field, is that the things they say are useful, and completely true all over the world.

Magic comes at psychology analysis in a different way, only what works through tried and tested outcomes. A Magician would never say they understand human psychology, and yet reading or listening to Magicians on human psychology has taught me more about it than any number of pop psych books.

I don't know what that means, but I understand human psychology leagues better from magic than I ever did from any book.
On most major highways near cities, it's 55 mi/h / 88 km/h. Average speed of experienced drivers in light traffic would be about 15% higher.
Has Matz stated the reasons they are not using RubySpec? Knowing him, I can't really believe he has chosen to ignore RubySpec without good reasons.
I'm genuinely curious: Do you consider overtaking evil, if the road is fine/the conditions are okay and the driver in front of you just .. likes to go slow (like the old lady in your example)?

For me that'd be a very good reason to leave her behind, IFF the conditions are right.
It is the inode trail that I am referring to; not the simple forging of the dates ( which you could obviously do by just changing the date and duplicating the file as you've described ). Messing with the inodes is much more difficult.
The Ruby devs also doesn't use any libraries I wrote, and that's okay.

Why is RubySpec the special sauce that is so special that the devs not using it is horrible?

> sullying their minds with real world `wrong ways' and more practical concerns

Why do computers exist, and why do people study them? Because they're very useful for "practical concerns". Practical concerns should be at the heart of any study of computers and computation; it's impractical for them not to be.
They may be S3's biggest customer, but Netflix is easily AWS' biggest customer overall.
Well, I'm afraid that people will believe you!

For your purposes it might not matter whether all bijections are isomorphisms, but it does matter to other people (for practical as well as theoretical purposes). What worries me is that someone may come along, see a nicely-written article appearing to summarise the nature of some important classes of functions, take it at face value, and go away believing that all bijections are isomorphisms, only to have this belief trip them up at some later stage. Not everyone is going to hop on Wikipedia or open up a maths textbook to verify your assertions, after all.
It seems to odd to me that someone would be aware of Google Groups, but not be aware that it's basically Usenet.

Trim and Extract work when you have an in point or out point set. Move the playback head to where you want to start and hit I to set the in point. Move it to where you want to end and press O. You can quickly navigate to the in and out by pressing Ctrl+I and Ctrl+O.

Once the in/out is set, extract will "lift" the selection to a new document, cutting it out of the old (basically cut, new document paste). Trim will trim the current document to the selection.
I disagree. Not with PG, but with a quote from him being a worthwhile comment. The OP was sincere; I think he deserved an actual response, not a robotic one listing the relevant entry in the works of PG.
Ordnance Survey released a large amount of UK government funded geospatial data to the public earlier this year, under the Open Data[1] initiative. I was aware that OS traditionally haven't been willing to allow their data to be used in conjunction with the Google Maps API (particularly due to section 11 in the ToS).

It seems that this is no longer the case, which is a great thing for people who want to utilise the (public) data in their own applications.

Perhaps the best example of this is Britain and France. Britain and France are separated by 23 miles of water. In France, egalité reigns supreme. Many places are union driven. The unions are all powerful. People aren't permitted to work more than 35 hours per week and get a large amount of holidays relative to their cousins 23 miles away.

Meanwhile, in the UK there's an opt out to allow people to work more than 40 hours a week, people get 25 days holiday on average and unions have little power in most cases, or act in ways that often damage peoples' jobs in others.

The differences between doing business in England and France are much more vast than the 23 miles that separate them. They're a product of France executing their aristocracy and the British not. A product of the French considering work 'travail' (toiling, or otherwise arduous activity) and the English not. And of course of the English being part of the industrial revolution early, meaning that the English could be more productive than everyone else with less resources, and of the French having to compete at a disadvantage. Add to that the other differences in French history and it's no wonder that many Brits (I wouldn't want to claim to speak for all as even we on a tiny island aren't a monoculture) generally feel closer to Anglophonic and former imperial countries than our European friends.
I agree that this is a crap study, but I still wouldn't be quite so dismissive of any possible effects of WiFi just because it is so low energy.

Why? Because the assumption that everyone makes here is that the only cause of this damage is from heat/high energy, and that could be wrong. I think the more troubling possible danger (to trees, or humans) is _interference_. Living things are complex systems that use low energy electric signals throughout. If some radiation were able to interfere with one of this processes, even at very low energy level, it could do far more damage than something with higher energy.

I'm not claiming to say any of these threats are real, or the science is good, just that we shouldn't dismiss concerns about X because it's less energy than Y, and Y seems to be safe.

We have to learn more about how the things we're trying to protect work, and particularly what types of radiation we should avoid.

For example, here's a PDF talking about the potential risks of low energy radiation on human cells.
http://ec.europa.eu/research/environment/pdf/env_health_proj...

And a longer article about some possible dangers of electromagnetic radiation:

Maybe it could be possible to set-up a virtual hackspace-equipment sharing service, where groups can purchase and pool resources .. allowing remote groups to loan items like this on an adhoc-basis.
This a great, succinct guide - glad to see it.

One very important step five to add: check with your state's Secretary of State office to see if there are any additional steps that must be taken. Many states require foreign-registered LLCs and corporations to submit an "application for authority to transact" or otherwise register with them.

Depending on where you're located, a local business registration fee or license may be required as well.

It's also important to apply for an EIN number, which is generally required before opening a bank account in the business' name, and for tax purposes: https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp

There may be other steps that I'm missing, but as with any guide to navigating these waters, always ask for help in your particular situation, and don't be afraid to (indeed, please do!) consult a lawyer.

"Through analysis and examples of several real-life catastrophes, this report shows that FMEA could not have helped in the discovery of the underlying faults.

People don't need root access all the time. You can construct a system whereby elevated access is granted as needed with the approval of another person or persons. Logged and time- or task-limited of course.

Inconvenient? Yes. But sometimes appropriate.
Enterprises often want your solution to integrate with so many other pieces of software that you are firmly out of "list prices" territory and very much in "let's design a solution that fits all these unique needs... and also has to run on-prem, because of this or that regulation" one, instead.

If your needs are served by the standard packages and you want to hook the thing up to your Slack for notifications, that's super. There is a pricing plan for that.

If you need basically a full year's worth of effort to hook this service up to your environment, and you want the experts involved with doing this integration, there's a kind of pricing plan for that, too.

The latter just does not look reasonable on a web page, because it starts with "it depends" and scales (non-?)linearly.
I think these are design issues that you could solve with a bit of work. As an example:

> Immediate problem: what if you choose to highlight “new” with purple + underline, but user is already using purple + underline as a part of their text. Do you choose a different color? Or just hope it is “clear from context”?

Well, the first option that comes to my mind is dimming the full display, except for those rectangular regions which contain changes. I don't know if that's actually the design which makes the most sense, but a designer could mock it up as one of many ideas to see which one makes sense. (I work at a graphic design studio, so I'm fairly familiar with this process.)
