Fortunately, there is this thing called "science" which means we can understand things about the world regardless of where we live. As Dawkins would say, there is no such thing as "Chinese Science" or "French Science", just science. Similarly, there is no such thing as "Github MySQL" or "Github separation of production and development systems" in that same sense.

These are categorical mistakes.
That's good to know. Still, I think it would be much saner if Unison was self-compatible at least within the same major-version. It's an excellent program, beyond the tricky details of setting it up on all your systems.
I was also using opencv, but I had a ton of trouble getting clean video from a couple different cellphones and a tablet (lot of blurring from movement) and was putting off buying a gopro to try. This is great info, thank you.

Some commercial units apparently have tail-light detection to narrow down scanning for plates.
I don't think he meant it was inappropriate to submit, but that he's concerned for your health. It sounds like you've got it under control, but it is really good advice - smart people w/ Google can make good guesses at most questions, but you shouldn't bet your life on it.

Its a very interesting case and I've enjoyed following it, so please keep updating us. And best of luck with your continued recovery!
Thats neat, thanks for the link.

I knew that there was plenty of historical precedent for this kind of thing, but I hadn't heard of Llull before. That's really neat that he also used concentric dials. But I doubt his wheels had Twitter integration, hehehhh..
Well, you could run Windows on your Mac, and run Safari for Windows.
I had similar feelings of lust. A couple of years ago I satisfied them by pulling the rom binaries off the web and writing a z80 emulator (in python) that could run them. Conclusion: a) don't expect to write fast cpu emulators in python. b) the jupiter ace failed because the hardware missed the boat. It was basically a zx81 running Forth, released at a time when the zx spectrum was wowing everybody with its color. It's probably the case that the use of Forth didn't give it any great advantages over BASIC given that the underlying machine was so incapable.
It's very helpful, when learning how Chrome Extensions work, to download existing extensions, find where on your OS they are stored, then check out their code.
This post is super-linkbait.

"The market is perfectly aware that a lot changes in 10 years, and so they heavily discount any projections out that far. But the market is more likely to be correct for near events."

Oh come on. 10 years is discounted but 4 years is a near event? The market can't reliably predict earnings a few quarters ahead of time.

"Microsoft's market cap is 221 B, their book value is 46 B, and therefore 175 B of their market cap is projected future earnings. Their current profit is 46.28 B/year, and that works out to the market valuing them at their current earnings stream projected over a bit under 4 years." does not equal "the stock market believes Microsoft will be bankrupt in four years."
One big assumption that the article is leaving unstated is that the market is valuing things fairly. That is, the analysis depends on the market valuation being correct.

In fact, it usually tends to be the other way around. PE ratios predict future returns in a negative way. A high PE means a company is generally overpriced, empirically more often than the earnings will just grow.
I don't agree. That's no different from suggesting that we only need to link to one article on TechCrunch or the NYT site, for example, since if people are interested in reading more of their articles, they'll subscribe to the TechCrunch and/or NYT site feeds.

And like edw519 said, the first post was much more interesting than the average HN post, so I say keep 'em coming.
Before you get an extended life battery may as well take a look at some information.

Here is a thread where people are talking about using the Seidio 1750 mAh in their Evo: http://androidforums.com/accessories-evo-4g/88887-seidio-inn...

And here is an older comparison of OEM and 3rd party batteries with disappointing results: http://www.batteryboss.org/
The way Celiac works is that it triggers an immune response to the gluten when it is in your villi in your small intestine, causing your immune system to attack them and basically blunt them, simultaneously ruining their ability to absorb, and lowering the effective absorption surface. Villi are structures in your small intestine that, like your lungs, are primarily there to increase the effective surface area for absorption of nutrients.

In my experience, it actually pulses over a period of time. Presumably as your villi get a coincidental chance to heal as you just happen to eat a couple of gluten-free meals accidentally (which I would used to do with salads, not all of which have croutons), then they get hit with a fresh load of gluten in the next meal. So the point here is that doubling your gluten load may merely move your villi from "effectively destroyed" to "effectively destroyed", that is, no real change at all.

(One downside of celiac is that while it is fairly treatable simply by avoiding gluten, you tend to get more sensitive over time, as if any does get through you've literally got a lot more to lose, and the fact that your small intestine is under attack is much more clear. I can literally feel it pulsing with inflammation-induced blood flow. I think maybe I used to be able to feel that sometimes but didn't realize that was Wrong(TM).)

The way to diagnose it is to stop eating it for a long period of time, then have a load about three weeks in. You'll know then, because your healed villi will have an epic hissy-fit as your immune system tears into them. Based on what I've read this seems likely to be more determinative than any other test, including the colonoscopy ones; broadly speaking I'm a defender of Western medicine and procedures but I'm not sure that there isn't a bit of "if it isn't a lab procedure it's not a real test" bias here; colonoscopy and biopsy does not seem to be very reliable but it is still used a lot. Even my father, who definitely has it and is how I realized what I had was only told that it was "indicative but not conclusive". Much like the poster here, in fact. Like I said, I trust medicine in general but I'm inclined to set the threshold a bit lower than they do here, especially given the ease of a followup diet test.

(If you're into medical stories on TV, I recommend some time with the Celiac page on wikipedia. It's a legitimately interesting disease; it's considered autoimmune, but it's unusual in that it's attacking the body for having a foreign protein. It's sort of an allergy, but differs in significant ways. It resists conventional classifications quite effectively.)
MVP meaning 'Most Valuable Player'?
Check out http://www.kreci.net/ for some ideas. He's posted on HN about his experiences quitting his job (in Poland, I think), and various ways to earn over $1000/mo online. He had success with iStockPhoto (still earning a few hundred per month), website flipping, and more recently Android app development (which has eclipsed all other money making efforts).
Of course we don't have all the variables here, but this doesn't seem like a very good move from an outside observer. If groupon is making hand over fist in cash, and has a healthy cash flow, part of me is wondering why they couldn't use that to steadily finance overseas expansion?

I understand VC's desire to get in on the ground floor of GroupOn's meteoritic growth, but giving them a billion dollars of cash right now doesn't seem like right play here.

Get big fast might of worked for a select few dot coms, but it certainly didn't work as a general rule.
Senior in liquidation preference to all other shares? They can do that?
I see what you're getting at but the examples you give- everyone knows what all of those words mean. Someone may say "pop" but they still know what soda is. People who say "aks" are not confused by the word ask.
There may be big companies that don't understand this, but are there really any HN readers that don't find this obvious?
I second that. His TED Talk is also worth watching. http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_o...
not at all. again, I'm the one behind augmented times, so I'm happy to find my at least one of my readers on HN.
cheers!
This is, of course, why many countries have data protection legislation. They recognise that companies will get hold of your data, and so legislate to protect you from its misuse.
Being "bipolar", "depressed" or "ocd" is still considered fashionable in some circles. I would assume fairly significant overreporting.
There are good arguments for both but I've tended to agree with Yahoo's approach to YUI, which includes a reset. Not because I've explored it in detail, but because I figure Y! has (and at a large scale).
A small file could cause this. The browser starts to download the file to a temporary directory, while the user is choosing the final location, so when the progress bar appears, most of the file is already there, then the rest of the file arrives at the same time that the system is creating the new file and copying the contents from the temporary file to the location chosen by the user. Disk file operations can block for an instant. When the bar is to be updated again, the download is complete, so it simply vanishes.
It's an interesting approach to spam. It's kind of like the way people dealt with the tobacco industry in the 90's (and maybe still now? I haven't kept up) by just suing them for damages, false advertising, misleading stuff, or whatever else.

I think that this is one of those less heard of positives of having a litigious society. Sometimes we can curb nasty behavior by making rules that allow people to sue violators into submission.
I reserved my regular handle but never returned to set up my page.
Doesn’t this issue mostly go away when using a decent editor? I also found out that while I don’t particularly enjoy writing boilerplate code, it gives me a second to rest my brain, relax, think about the context etc. I think I like the resulting "rhythm changes".
> This article does not note that the Man who Quit his Job is actually something of a meta-parasite, as he does no economic activity. However, Balsam is a parasite on thieves who themselves produce no economic output, so he is indeed a meta-parasite.

That argument leads police to being meta-parasites as well. However marginal Dan's efforts are, there is value in making negative activities more expensive.
I just got back from Southern China yesterday visiting my wife's mom. And it was cold...I mean, it was only 7C out, but there was absolutely no indoor heating at all. It actually felt warmer outside than inside (and probably was since it took the sun a while to warm up the concrete). It was unbareable even with a kotatsu.

I am so happy to be back in freezing but well-heated Beijing. I can wear shorts in -10C weather, but no indoor heating at all will beat me down pretty quickly.
One thing that impresses me about Instacart is how fast they're iterating on their web interface. My wife and I have been using it for probably a year now, and hardly a week goes by that something isn't noticeably different, usually for the better.

We launched all of 10 days ago so stay tuned, there will be more. Photographers are submitting their photos in which we'll post when we can.
It's no joke. It's what the photographer wanted to name it ;-)
More choice doesn't mean better quality. It means you are far more likely to make the wrong choice, and that you have to invest more energy into doing so.

And that can really eliminate the convenience such a service aims to provide in the first place.

Choice is good when the options are differentiated. Like choosing between a CD, an MP3, or a streaming service. It's not nearly so good when you are choosing between Stream A, Stream B, or Stream C.
Went from 15 years experience as a financial software engineer to a junior researcher position in the local university, while working towards a biomedical PhD. Was never happier.
The ones funded by Monsanto and Cargill? Don’t you see the problem?
Seeing a lot of evidence of late that NYT Journalists arent playing fairly. The Greenwald article which despite its problems points out bad faith on the part of Taylor Lorenz(I think that is her name) and now we have WHO scientists claiming that Javier C. Hernández and James Gorman have bent the truth. I wouldnt be as bothered by this if it were possible to call out bad journalism without being dismissed as a "fake news-er".

What news organizations can we really trust now?
For me, it was gluten. Switched to a gluten-free diet and the mental dog went away
Japan Meteorological Agency reported it as 7.1

USGS reported it as 7.1

Prime Minister Suga reported "no anomalies, ... everything is normal."

Okay. The Japanese have a lot of experience with earthquakes. They should know. I trust the assessment.

The article declares it 7.3, citing the JMA, who were quoted as reporting it as 7.1 in the very next paragraph.

No explanation anywhere for how it became 7.3.

Meh, what's two points on a logarithmic scale of seismic energy?
He had a contractual agreement that editors couldn't edit for content at The Intercept, a news outfit he literally founded in order to not have content based editorial oversight.

Describing that as a "hissy fit" is disingenuous.
This is also a good point, but it would have mostly affected North America which was sparsely populated.
Exactly, the fossil fuel industry knew about climate change in the 1980s, yet paid for false research to spread uncertainty and doubt about the damage they are still causing.
My experience is exercise makes less difference for weight loss than diet. Calories in calories out. A choco bar take a decent run to burn it off.

I agree exercise is good but being fatigued I have relied mostly on diet to lose weight. I really enjoy running though so it’s a bit sad.
Yes - the idea that everyone in science must be a fantastic Jack or Jill of all trades is absurd. There is no room for oddballs that are missing any of 20 subtle skills, including many social ones that should have little to do with research skill. Incentivizing teams to succeed instead of individuals is essential for reforming our current broken system.
Here is the transcript from npr if you can't listen to the story:

Noise canceling? Got a link? I am aware of white noise machines but not noise-canceling. Presently building out a new office and would love to see details.
I think Google could make a FB killer by releasing an open source app engine app that allowed users to exchange notifications with their friends. Users could use Google's version or host their own modified version. Communication would take place between app instances via an open api implemented by each app.

The advantage of this would be that non-technical users would have a very FB-like experience, while more technical users could modify the app to suit their own preferences, and then share the app source with others.

The important thing would be to keep a standard api so that the different app versions could communicate.
f.lux is really great, it helped me a lot as well.
Also Capistrano (http://www.capify.org/) for deploy new changes is really easy.
Young people are capable of doing many things. But there are some traits that make young people unsuitable for some jobs - lack of stability, wandering interest, not having been exposed enough.

Just focus on the things that can best be done when you are young - like taking wild risks and trying many different things.

You'll be old soon enough.
Oh my, I had no idea about the grim background of that soundbite... You're right, that totally changes what I thought was a beautiful figure of speech.
sounds like typical case of burnout.

you could prob use 3+ months off if you can afford it.

you can work doing something else in the meantime if you can/need to.
Some of those are definitely a bit exaggerated, perhaps depending on your conception of model. You're not going to destroy your physique most of the time by having an impromptu lunch every so often, especially if you're already struggling to get enough calories to support muscle growth.
It cuts both ways. The life of a British Royal is better than almost anyone else's. At the same time, they don't really have a lot of freedom in the usual sense - a lot of ceremonies, formal parties, events etc. You might have a better life as an retired, anonymous millionaire with some US$5M in the bank (which would also make you extremely privileged).
Does anyone blame them?

There are 3 types of workers.

Temp style who are planning on making money and leaving Amazon as soon as they get a better paying job. These people get limited to negative benefits from the union.

Ambitious workers who want to climb up Amazon, this takes 2 paths. You can go up the union ranks, but this is nearly entirely seniority dependent. Going from union position to non union(management) means you cut all ties with your former life and union friends, sorry but it's the truth.

Finally you have the lifers, they benefit from the union because this is their career. Doing unskilled labor for slightly above market rates. They want union protection to make their job easier at the expense of everything else. Maybe the job is hard and these lifers deserve it. But this is still a minority population.
comment is about Charles...
Clojurescript with Re-Frame / RE-Frame-10x / Reagent has transformed front-end for me. It's so good.
I have never heard about this, do you have a link that elaborates? I love weird succession lines.
That whole thing sounds way too familiar to me. It literally could be the same company.
NYT is a brand that seeks an audience.
Rather than using head and worrying about the size of the file, it is easier to simply use "useless" cat then ctrl-c the stream of data that comes out.
I refer to heating and cooling the battery pack. When charging, the battery gets hot and it can reduce the lifespan, that's probably why leafs seem to suffer faster range loss. Similarly lack of this hurts range when it's cold.
I didn't know that, thanks for the correction.
Isn't that how power works in general? Why would they pick a fight with a government just to prove they are tough? If you're gonna lose, don't fight.

I'm super confused what's the point here. There seems to be something about how abstract interfaces (i.e., interfaces that are separated from the implementation) are good for testing (and more?) because there is less coupling (also at build time) to other modules.

It might be hard to get for me as a C programmer because we make manually decoupled interfaces all the time (we create header files explicitly). In a sense all interfaces in C are abstract, and only the linker matches actual implementations to the interfaces. I believe with explicit header files there isn't any of the issues mentioned in the post.
I'd say it's the quality of SW Engineers has stayed roughly the same, but the quality of SW Engineering has gone up. I worked at eBay back in 2000ish when it was all C++ and there were still plenty of kids that didn't understand pointers very well etc. Now at least they don't have to as much.
I'm sure the absolute number of software engineers who have a background in CS is increasing. However, because of the massive increase in developers without a solid background in engineering or CS is increasing, the feeling in the industry matches the OP's sentiment, (which I've shared for a while now.) The ratio of quality developer to unskilled developer is worse than ever. This is what I've been referring to as the Blue-collarization of Software Development. I believe that building software is going to become much more similar to being an auto mechanic in the decades to come. There is absolutely a need and an availability of very skilled software developers, but the day to day work is going to be much more accessible to those without the rigorous CS background that one needed 10 years ago.
Wow if they can convince their competition to use the system, and they can use that data, that would be hugely valuable. Not just for grocery/online sales but I'm thinking of data use for their fast growing ad network.
Shouldn't neglect to discuss the proposed Signed HTTP Exchanges by google who will make this kind of thing far worse. Not just for the tracking implications, but how easy it will become for some countries to outright fake the news.
Well, I've used it a fair bit, always in conjunction with ACS or OpenACS. With the exception of supporting legacy TCL code, I can't think of a good reason to use it over Apache/Nginx with Ruby/Python nowadays.
Get minesweeper.el into Emacs. Whether or not that occurs, start contributing to Emacs.

Given that minesweeper.el is winding down (I'm just working on mature optimization at this point), come up with one decent-sized useful project to hack on. Of course, I've said before that I thought it was almost done.

Learn Haskell and Forth. At least, become somewhat fluent.

Keep coding Lisp every day. My streak continues since July; let's see how long this can go for. How will learning new languages interact with this? I'm not really sure.
you should always own your online presence.
Because a lot of web site design services sold to restaurants are sold by hucksters.

p.s.: not all hucksters know that that's what they are. Heck, you or I might be one, without meaning to be so. Of course, plenty enough do mean to be so and do awright for themselves that way.
There is already a 3.2.8 out, it seems.

I'd agree with both sides of this. I was a customer for years and anytime I had an issue they'd respond very quickly. However, getting my wife to get an account approved so we could have the shared/joint account feature was impossible and they would never explain why.
I hate to say it, but is Hyundai in the tier of brands that people who are looking for an Apple-tier experience buy? Really? While they're technically not that bad anymore, the level of prestige is still lower than most Japanese brands, never mind the Germans.

Mercedes would have been a much more expected choice as far as a pairing is concerned. Steve Jobs himself drove Mercs.
I basically use it as an interest checking account for the purpose of paying monthly expenses. It's a very simple system that requires zero babysitting and produces better yield than a real checking account.

I could chase higher yield with my emergency fund than where I currently keep it, at Alliant Credit Union (0.55% APY), but it's not worth the effort. No one does significant better without also having gimmicks.
How do you deal with covid risk of nanny?
Do you have a family, or at least entagled budgeting with a significant other? Either one of those makes this workflow almost impossible.
That's... fascinating. I'm using the exact same setup as you and the fans randomly spin up for extended periods of time, even through several reformats and OS reinstallations over the years. I haven't been able to pinpoint any logical reason for this behaviour.
Yeah, have you been on twitter? Not random Twitter accounts. These are FAANG employees.

They say Zuck and Dorsey support Nazis, white supremacists, and trump.

I worked at these companies, and that couldn't be further from the truth.

Just to be clear: I'm on the side of, if we are gonna ban someone, let's use a proper legal route to do it. But surprisingly nobody wants to go that route, huh?
