I read a lot of Nietzsche, who raves about Goethe as a representative of the latter half of N's Dionysian/Apollonian dichotomy—and in later works becomes the symbol of synthesis between the two.

Similar to you, I kind of ignored N's great characterization of Goethe due to Werther, but only because I thought Goethe was a one-hit wonder pop-philosopher novelist when I first started hearing the name. I was honestly confused about how Werther could represent so much of N's philosophy! And then I read about its author and found one of the most accomplished individuals in the 18th/19th centuries.
He posted some "making of" videos when he remade the iOS version of Karateka.

I really enjoyed this video explaining how he got around making the gameplay easier (not just 1 life) but also made it make sense to the story.

You have 3 lives... but 3 different lives:

Could you elaborate on some of the obviously wrong stuff that you've seen? I'm curious. I have an ME background but strayed away from it into electronics, then oddly enough ended up in a fluids heavy business.
I always sucked at driving games. Obviously,I could do the racing, however, I always struggled to understand how on earth it's so difficult to do it really well. I haven't played any racing games for at least 10 years.Darn it,I only drove a real car a few times.Then, a few months ago all my team from work went to do electric Go-Kart. Some of them do drive cars,some did a fair share of Go-Kart driving and etc.I think I was the only one who never did it before. They run the training session on rules and safety.I put my helmet on and I can't even strap it properly.Then I get into the Kart. I'm also the only one who's got this particular colour racing suite,because I'm the biggest one(6.1', 277lbs)...So now the whole thing starts sinking in.All my bravado is gone..How bad will I crash?Will they put my picture of the wall with a title " lamest driver ever"? Oh, and I'm also the first one in the line to start..Darn in..And then it starts.I'm a bit hesitant to push tje pedal completely to the ground because I'm not sure how it'd react. But I feel it.I feel the track,my whole body reacts to every turn and twist.It feels like I'm part of the track itself.I enter high risk high reward mode and push the little thing on four wheels to the limits. I finished 3rd, after my colleague and some lady who was sharing the track with our group. It felt extatic. I told my colleague,who came 2nd,that I think I found my new hobby. Driving in a computer game doesn't give even 2% of what it feels like in a race.
I am working on a way to better track and gain transparency into your Firebase costs. The goal is prevent you from getting a surprise bill at the end of the month. I’ve started out with a daily and month end reports of your usage and costs. I’ve even been able to give cost metrics that aren’t in the Firebase console. Eventually will have a dashboard so you can dive into your historical costs and setup custom alert that are more fine grained than what google allows.

If by "me" you mean "the voters" then yes of course. What was that Russian proverb Ronald Regan was always so found of? Trust but verify? The verify part is very, very important.

Blind trust with no accountability is totally insane. There has to come a point, during the lives of the people who have to be held accountable for what they've done, that what they've done comes to light. Or how do you propose we hold them to account?
I'm not generally a fan of Verizon as a corporation, but they deserve kudos for fixing the issue quickly and rewarding the OP for reporting it! This should be the norm. Too many nightmare stories of companies prosecuting users who find and report vulnerabilities.
That's playing, not doing!
The widely varying current needs of microcontrollers as they transition from wake to sleep and back again can be difficult to estimate accurately.

Here is a simple trick we use to measure average current consumption on our battery powered microcontroller designs.

(It's an important number, because that's what tells you how long your batteries will last.)

We replace the batteries with a huge capacitor, like 10,000uF or 20,000uF (whatever it takes to give you a few minutes of run time).

We charge up the capacitor with a variable power supply to the high end of the battery voltage, then we start a stopwatch and disconnect the variable power supply.

We watch the voltage drop to the typical minimum battery voltage, and then stop the stopwatch.

Then we remove our board, replace it with a variable resistor decade box, and repeat the experiment.

We repeat that, adjusting the resistor box until we find the exact resistance that discharges that huge capacitor in the same amount of time as our board.

(We measure the resistance of the box at the end with an ohmmeter, because they are always off a bit.)

Then we use that resistance (and the mid-value of the voltage drop) to calculate the average current drain of our board.
Wireless is only nominally under Title II. Section 332 of the statute instructs the FCC to forbear on most of the parts of Title II when it comes to wireless.

And Title II is one reason there is competition in wireless, but you've got the effect backwards. Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon are not cable providers, so their wired networks were heavily regulated by full-on Title II. They invested money in wireless because it was much less regulated. But the big thing was that bandwidth demand for mobile exploded, while growing much slower for wired.
Many friends of mine have met their significant others through spontaneous interactions like this.

And how is that relevant in a thread about someone who collects women's phone numbers and then does NOT actually call them?

This is rather insulting to so-called "unattractive" girls.

Yes. Which is why I pointed that out. Read the whole exchange please.
You've got good reason to be sour grapes. Hang in there man. I was on the border of moving there for a short time ~1 year for a large project. The project didn't take off quite as expected so now I'm trying to get things done remotely.

After watching the video on your link, I'm a little worried about your health. You sound very sad. Remember you can always take your wife to the states with you. Good luck buddy.
This dichotomy, and the realization that it can fuel smart people to use their abilities to do amazing things in the world, is what upsets me most about the startup ecosystem. I'm a programmer. Writing weather software doesn't seem like work to me. However, since going through a startup accelerator, I'm supposed to all these things that are very much "work" - and it gets me down. Things that are important, for sure, like pitch decks, financial modelling, market research, raising capital in general. They're distracting me from the things I like doing but I do them because they're necessary for the business. My "fun work" quickly became "work that I don't like doing", and it's hard to stay in love with your startup after a lot of that.

I wish there were a way for startup founders to do what they love doing, and not what the VC/fundraising cycle tells them they should do.

If someone can solve that problem I'd be really really happy.
Agree completely with th exception that it was the whole Democratic party and not just Obama. For six years they kept on putting things off until "after the election" so as not to hurt their chances for winning. In the end it made it obvious that they were guided by self interest and not by serving the people.
If their page is entitled "web standards", it's probably a bad idea to restrict the page only to users of Safari. Especially when it shares a rendering engine with Chrome and a number of other browsers that could probably run the demos.

For the record, when Google created Chrome Experiments (which used HTML5-ish technologies), they let any browser attempt to run the experiments, but the performance (in some cases) suffered. Apple is doing exactly the opposite.
As a Christian, I have to admit this never crossed my mind. I feel so behind on my apocalyptic parallels.

Also, I hope the Christian == Republican mindset goes away in my lifetime.
Well that's ONE way to get everyone onto 10.1
Perfect headline. It straddles the ambiguity between the two possible meanings: the sarcastic one, about IT personnel scrambling to put fixes in place over their 'nice' weekend, and the non-sarcastic one, addressed to hackers who could have some fun with this.

In any case, Adobe, the timing has exactly the level of thoughtfulness we have come to expect from the Flash team. The only way you could have done more damage would be to have done it last week when the US had a long weekend, or some other even longer holiday.
I just had a fun little therapy session with someone on there. It was my first glimmer of hope as to the value of chatroulette (the concept of it anyway).
However, it would have been at best very difficult for me to cut through the red tape to get the work I have without a college degree. The sorts of people who do hiring in this industry seem to really want to see that.

Put yourself in the place of a hiring manager, or, better still, the person setting hiring policies for large companies. You have hundreds or thousands of people competing for jobs, sending you resumes, and the like. You only need to make one decision: hire or no hire. When you're weaning down those resumes, you're probably looking for shortcuts, and one way to get there is to filter out a college degree -- which isn't that high a bar, especially for hyper competent technical people. If you're setting hiring policies, you want to stop people from hiring their incompetent brother-in-laws or wastrel friends. And so on.

PG actually wrote an essay about this kind of thing in Two Kinds of Judgment: http://www.paulgraham.com/judgement.html :

But in fact there is a second much larger class of judgements where judging you is only a means to something else. These include college admissions, hiring and investment decisions, and of course the judgements made in dating. This kind of judgement is not really about you.

Anyway, this isn't an attack on the parent poster, but it is an attack of the thoughts I often see on HN and other tech sites about the lack of importance of a college degree. If you start your own company or can get others to pay you... great. But degrees are often there not only to show that you've learned and provide learning, but also as a heuristic for people who are hiring. False positives and false negatives exist, but not so much as to abrogate the usefulness of the entire system.
Good reply, I don't know too much about the ins and outs; just layman reading and anecdotal experience. I remember being chronically fatigued (though it was not Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for quite some time; what did the trick for me was simple: less carbohydrates (less calories, to be specific), more vegetables, and more animal protein (the Paleo Diet mixed with the Longevity Diet).

I also think people underestimate the body's ability to repair itself given the opportunity. I think fixing the diet and exercising would be worth while avenues of giving the body the break it needs. I've also been a big believer in fasting and/or juicing for a few days when I get sick, it seems to get wiped out much faster when I do that.

I notice, when I eat grain heavy foods (rice, and particularly wheat based foods) my allergies get worse and I feel "ickier". This correlates well with the description of Candida Albicans and the invasive behaviors the organism take on it, apparently, even makes you want to eat more bread (this is, unscientific, but it seems logical and has served me well thus far).

Something else I noticed as well: fatigue was often fixed/alleviated by consuming adrenal supplements...
I'm more amused of the idea of going shopping with this thing.

If you didn't know the shape of the bottle or other characteristics you wouldn't know what the hell you're buying.

Sounds like a fun shopping trip.
I noticed this too. It avoids a whole class of problems interacting with other people, and seems like a good idea marketing-wise.

I was also thinking about battery life. If it's not designed for outside, then presumably you'll be near a charger, so you're less likely to run out of charge when you need it.
The incredible thing to me is even given that prevailing attitude, corporations still manage to soak the government for billions and billions.

There are two sets of rules in this world.
No, you are missing the entire point.

His comment was a response to your post. Your post discouraged people from writing crypto, because they aren't qualified. This is where you were gatekeeping.

His response was, effectively: "well, you're so qualified, but you never said anything about how the industry standard library for crypto was swiss cheese for 20 years". He's basically saying that even the qualified people don't do a good job and that nobody should be discouraged from at least trying.

The point is that everyone is fallible and you went out of your way to prove him right.
A lot of my buddies who use Scala seem to like it. I'm sure it has some to do with the fact that they can use Intellij, which I consider to be one of the best IDE's available.
Hi there-

In early 2020 I started to take my wealth building & personal finance seriously. I wanted to work because I wanted to not because I have to.

So over the course of the year I've been learning to generate my wealth number, and this year I have a goal to have a net worth of $1,000,000!

Yes, you heard that right!

After learning to create multiple streams of revenue, I'm now going to share it all in my premium Discord community.

I'm going to share with you everything I know about building a website that generates ad revenue, affiliate marketing, stock investment, and more.

Stock investment has been my most lucrative revenue stream and I will also be open about the picks I make, and the outcome.

Does this count all the energy required to drill, ship, and refine oil? I’ve read that refineries use a ton of power usually in the form of gas, electricity, or burning part of the oil. Coal is mined too but it doesn’t require much processing.
For situations in which the risk profile of traditional fiat currencies doesn't meet your needs.

It is a strawman to say that Bitcoin can only be useful if it replaces all traditional financial instruments.
Bitcoin is only good for large transactions, but there are 1000000 cryptocurrencies that solve this problem such as BCH, USDT, and LTC. Use one of them.
Hi HN!,

We created a simple app that's like a mashup between Hype Machine, Last.fm and Tinder. Every music recommendation you like is saved to your playlist.

It basically aggregates content from over 600 tastemakers, then runs the tracks through our own recommendation engine before delivering it to our users.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Ah, but that's because it's not particularly pertinent to you; your (our :-) unhealthy addiction is entirely legal...
But it isn't a violation of the 4th amendment according the Supreme Court. Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735 (1979).

The number you dial isn't private because you are showing it to the phone company.
I bought affinity designer for Mac, it's a vector software but it has a history slider, I don't think it saves with the file format but it's an amazing take on history display. One 3D program I saw did save the history with it, but I can't recall the name.
That's the whole point of the article. He is saying that in the context of an idea.
I must be missing it as well, subtle tongue in cheek humour isn't really the Economists style.
For getting people into programming with graphics quickly: Processing (http://processing.org/). Since Processing is a thin wrapper around Java, the programming concepts transfer easily. Processing also has a Python mode, and there's Processing.js for the JavaScript fans. If you're a Racket/Scheme type person, ClojureScript might be an option, with Quil for doing Processing-type graphics.
I feel like someone spent a lot of money on the domain and then subsequently tried to work out what the hell to do with it, "pivoted" a number of times, and somehow ended up with... whatever the hell this is.
The battleship analogy is quaint. The NYTimes is the Tirpitz - the big bad guy who ends up spending the entire war hiding in a fjord for fear of what lies in the open oceans.

Likely to also share the same fate as the Tirpitz.

he's talking about hunting. in real life. game is the word for animals that are hunted.
Sketch is very nice. I use both Photoshop (when on Windows) and Gimp (when I'm on my Ubuntu laptop), so I have experience with each.

Sketch provides a clean, focused UI that makes it easy to get many tasks done simply/quickly. Specifically, icon design in Sketch is excellent.

Plus, Sketch is a vector based application which is excellent for creating multiple icons / images of different sizes.
Yeah, but a data warehouse isn't supposed to have great response times. Data warehouses are for large, low-value sets of historical data that you don't always know how you want to use.

If you want to use data in real-time, you should be driving it from your transactional systems. Redshift and other data warehouse solutions are for doing reporting and dashboards, not triggering real-time reactions.
Because it's not possible to 'tolerate' them - left unchecked it would overwhelm our health service, destroy the economy, and cripple society.

Your proposal is a fantasy; it sounds as if you're wishing this was similar in effect and scope to the flu (and I'm sure we all wish that) but clearly that seems not to be the case
Inconvenient narrative-breaking counter-examples...ignore him!
I didn't say you should ignore politics. I read real news, just like other people. I took offense at the parent comment's implication that just because I oppose talking about the TSA on HN that I'm somehow ignorant or amoral. Give me a fucking break, it's about the signal to noise ratio, It's about me being able to regard HN as my 'industry journal' vs random water cooler chat.
I see, thanks.

Pretty cool to see that Rust can do more optimizations than other languages.

And it seems to play out well. I fondly remember Java being touted as being superior to C/C++ because it can do runtime optimizations, which will outperform C/C++. Somehow this never happened.
I've lived and paid taxes in three of the G7 countries, including the US.

For what it's worth, I've had to fill out tax assessment forms of greater-or-lesser complexity in all of them. The US is certainly the worst, but the trope that "all other major economies just take care of the tax for you" isn't exactly right.
I’m not a Scala programmer so I don’t know who is more right here, but _ai_ was saying that calling three different features by one name does not mean there’s really one feature. Which is different than saying one feature can be used in three different ways.
The C++ static example was used because in that case the same keyword was used for several literally different features to avoid adding additional reserved words.
People with fed jobs are not so simple. Are they married, does the partner work outside the fed gov., do they have a second job, etc. But I suppose in principle you could pay them net and make adjustments at tax time. It’s okay by me.
> What do you expect someone [...] to do?

I don't expect anyone to do anything. As a person reading this story, I just commented on the fact that it would be interesting to know more details as to how the app ended up making these requests in the first place.

I was just expressing my personal opinion that if I went this far investigating the situation, that's what I'd like to find out as well.

> [...] when their only concern is limiting/lowering that traffic?

If that were their only concern, they could have just (quoting my previous comment):

>> block[ed] the request URL/UA string pair, which was also an option

However:

>> since they already traced the culprit with a lot of effort [...] the logical ultimate step to conclude their investigation should be to see what the code does

Like everything else, this is just my personal opinion of course.

> your frustrations

> your frustration

Not really sure where this comes from but it's really unnecessary.

I'm glad for Wikimedia that they resolved the issue, and shared the details, which make for an interesting read.
That stuff is all just part of the game. The real issue with lobbyists is they appear to subject matter experts to the politicians. politicians who are not subject matter experts at almost anything generally find themselves believing what lobbyists say. The fact that they're whined and dined and made their time getting lectured enjoyable isn't really the problem so much as they are only getting half truths. The article has a perfect example where politicians say that it won't tie the hands of the IRS I'm sure they honestly believe that. The problem is that real subject matter experts tax lawyers say it will. but it doesn't matter The politicians have already believed something different. and it's much easier to con a man than convince he's been conned.
I've never said that. I've said it does literally nothing better than classical systems. That point remains in contention. The idea that it's somehow everything and nothing at the same time, just a perpetual number go up machine, is a pro-crypto argument.
Fancy dinners, but also political donations. It is surprising how little money it takes to sway a politician in terms of donations.

I have Amazon Prime yet I'm paying for Google $2/mo to keep my photos. Google+ features for photos are just awesome!
This is a pretty useless and unnecessary attack. Sunsets make up a very large percentage of Instagram, Snapchat, and FB photos shared at my university, which shows apparent social value.

Sure you may appreciate the experience of watching a sunset live, but clearly the social sharing aspect may be more important to others.
