Because the comment is factually wrong. Because it tries to argue something in bad faith.

> That's an honest fundamental question.

But it wasn't a question, it was a statement, and a faulty one at that.

Best case interpretation would require substituting 'current' for 'frequency' and even then it would be inaccurate because the current is a proxy for the Z-distance to the tip which is then used to convert to a 3D map, which in turn can be visualized.

It is fairly obvious that this is an indirect process so clear the word 'directly' wasn't about 'seeing atoms' but all about the fact that you can make the observations yourself.

Whether you are measuring a current or looking through an eyepiece both are observations. And looking at the resulting image is also an observation.

As opposed to reading about STMs and looking at pretty pictures online or in books.

It's a shallow comment masquerading as an insightful one, the worst way to derail any conversation.
So you might want to do some research on ALA, EPA, and DHA. Our ability to convert ALA to Omega-3 is apparently fairly limited. This link appears to be fairly well researched:

In the UK there rules about spam calls too, however most of the calls my parents get are international numbers. I told them just to ignore them, but they got upwards of 5 calls a day so it was pretty annoying.

I setup a PBX so that I could block any repeat callers, but that didn't really work because each call is from another random number. There were also a few automated calls so I set it up to play an automated message of 30 seconds saying to press a code to speak to someone, if the number is withheld or international. That ended up blocking pretty much all the calls. I guess the dialers interpret it as a voicemail greeting and move on.

I've since found out there are plenty of SIP providers who if you ask them nicely will let you send any callerid without proving ownership - even for international calls. When it costs them around half a US cent per minute (probably less in bulk) it's not surprising there are so many spam calls.
In what sense does that not sound like fun?

The reason it "works" in China is because a totalitarian regime has forced it on the people, and if you live in western China, everyone knows the workday is 11-to-7 instead of 9-to-5.

The thing you're missing is this: How can Uncle Steve know he should say "call me at 2"? Either he has to do a lookup, or he has to internalize that Australia is a place where the workday is 23-to-7.

And where I am, the workday would be 1-to-9, the east coast would be 4-to-13, Paris would be 10-to-6, and Bangalore would be 14-to-23. And this system made everything simpler... how?

I am no lawyer, but Google is raising some valid points, especially on the 'patentability' of some of Oracle's inventions. It's no grasping at straws. Oracle has to close some gaps here. It ain't going to be easy. Devil (and pounding capacity) is in the details.

Looks interesting. I don't know how many times I wished I could define a color like thatin CSS.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.
I agree with you, except perhaps on the "no advertising" bit. Advertising often serves a useful purpose in a community. How to translate to the Web, I'm not sure.
Admitedly, I'm a relative n00b when it comes to development but seriously "I do not get it". There doesn't appear to be much in the way of reduced syntax, at least not in the example provided. Can someone explain why this is better or clearer than CSS?
you sure about the 2 letter domains? What about me.com etc, or is .gs different from .com?

If anyone on HN is hiring or looking to keep some extra talent in mind I would love to talk to you.

I am also okay and very comfortable with Subversion and MySQL.I have a passion for the web and automation. You can contact me via HN or at: nowjobhunting@gmail.com
By (3) reducing costs by eliminating the need for a massive amount of the company.

I'd be surprised beyond belief if it turns out they paid their reporting wing of the company more than they (collectively) paid their printing and distribution wings. And remember that the distribution includes all shipments US / worldwide, and all end-point delivery people.
Literally the only problem with CSS itself is that it doesn't have defines. Every other problem is just browser implementations.
I'm using torguard and must say I'm pretty happy with them. You can use your login/password for up to 5 computers, which is handy, the setup is fairly easy. I needed some advanced setup options but since they support OpenVPN everything worked great! Their support center is responsive + the guy a Greek Server which serves me well when I'm abroad.

On the security side they state that no logs are kept, security is paramount and so on. I've found this VPN provider through a torrentfreak post which was listing the top10 most secure VPN providers for 'torrent' downloading. I don't use it for downloading illegal material, but I guess most people do, hence I believe they (TorGuard) wouldn't really wanna know what their users are doing online. :-)

cheers!

Back in Bulgaria we used to have a farm (almost anyone had) at the "village" - e.g. the house that most city people would had at certain near rural place.

Mushrooms, chickens, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Now can't be certain how much it cost supporting, and also water, transport, etc. - but salaries were (and still are) very little compared to US. Granted some things are ten times cheaper, but then others reach the price of US (absolute prices, not average salary relative).

Homebrew alcohol (wine, liquior), preserved tomatoes, salads, fruits, etc. Homemade ketchup kind of like stuff was (and I guess still is) very popular.

Some people even made cheese from milk (for feta you need bulgaricus bacilicus, for cheese I think not). And off course milk from the cow.
Skynet? Who's heard anything of skynet? I'm GLADoS.

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize the machines and process cost were that cheap. Combined with a stand mixer and freeze bowl, one could churn out soy ice cream for two orders of magnitude lower cost than store-bought (which easily runs $10-$15/qt).
On the other hand, once you receive bitcoins at an address, you have to reuse that address in order to finally spend them, which interrelates the transactions in a way that's visible to everyone. The only way to limit traffic analysis is to use and trust some service like the bitcoin laundry, which will accept coins from one address and send distinct coins to another address.
That would be good.
Agreed. Comment deleted.
Yes, exactly. One can criticize a consequence of a thing without criticizing the thing itself. I did not actually criticize constructivism anywhere. One might criticize, for instance, certain aspects of US economic practice which are derived from capitalism without actually criticizing the economic theory of capitalism. It is possible (probable) that educational institutes, like governments, are merely misusing theory. I don't know why there needs to be any counterpoints, I did not criticize constructivism.
Another huge benefit: non-native speakers. If all your office processes rely on verbal conversation, it's really critical that everyone speaks perfect English. If the communication is async, that constraint can be relaxed slightly, which can give you a great pool of talent other companies are missing out on.

It really is an eye opener. I was blown away when I started reading about it all. Some good resources if you're interested.

I totally agree to that. Those sources changed the way I was thinking about human health and nutrition completely. To be quite honest, I was not thinking about these topics very much before. I would also add a source that kind of got me started:

Google search is starting to suck a lot though. Now half the time I search for something I end up with garbage and give up.

Remember that the great monopoly to be broken up by anti-trust law was in fact a government-mandated one: AT&T. Without the government banning competition, AT&T would have been very much different in 1974 (the time of the divestiture).

I don't have any UX training (Econ major, myself), but I recommend making bigger stories take up more space, like TechMeme does. I do like how you de-emphasized related stories, because they make TechMeme kind of noisy. I also miss the pictures TechMeme puts next to most stories. In general, it is a little bland, as you seem to realize. Then again, HN is bland and I don't have a problem with it.

The story ranking and discovery is good, though. Seems on par with TechMeme, which is impressive.

I found it with a Facebook ad. Are you advertising it a little just to see if it takes off, or what?

Anyways, good job and good luck.
Great list, thank you. I've been eying Purely Functional Data Structures on Amazon, good to have a HN testimonial on that one. Will add that to my shopping cart for the next batch I buy.

Same thought here.

Why would a person use this over salesforce, Wordpress, or the dozen other CMS systems out there? I watched the 5 minute demo, it is doing nothing complex. How many one off sites we all seen that are written by a tool that ended up not able to handle the complexity. Tools like this need a huge "never" been done before hook, and this one does not readily have it.
>This week I was reading about how cholesterol studies are funded by the egg industry 60% of the time. They have a financial interest in the studies going their way and those studies do. Yet, many studies not funded by them go a very different route.

The lipid hypothesis used to be a theory. A significant portion of the 'science' has been revealed to be illegitimate. Cholesterol had a 'scientific consensus' that it was evil causing virtually all cardiovascular disease. Used to...

So what happened? In 2005 you now have to declare your conflicts of interest. Dieticians suddenly started falling bigtime to conflicts of interest. Virtually all of them publishing that cholesterol was evil had conflicts. They were funded heavily by the cereal companies. Science started looking at the lipid theory and it's all fraud.

Cholesterol is no longer a boogy man. The lipid hypothesis has been downgraded to an invalid hypothesis. If you're taking statins, go talk to your doc and get off them.

>Is it misinformation when you speak out against them?

When the statin patents expired in 2016. It's not a surprise that the keto movement reformed in 2017. That cholesterol became a hypothesis and we found out what's really going on.

Ancel Keys much later in life acknowledged that dietary cholesterol has absolutely nothing to do with blood cholesterol.

The even more interesting since the conflict of cinterest change. People have been trying to understand what the actual real data says. Cholesterol may be real problem, but why? You'll notice... this was also published in 2017.

https://blogs.webmd.com/from-our-archives/20170710/how-sugar...

Sugar in your diet damages cholesterol and makes your body struggle at cleaning it up. They found however, sugar isn't exactly the culprit. It's refined sugars and mostly candy and related high sugar things that are causing the problem.

>The same can be said for a lot of things. You need to dig into the details to have an understanding of what's going on.

Censorship is hard. Anything being labelled misinformation is immediately considered something that must be evaluated.
Why not? Money is money, after all. The contracts don't say how to do it, they say what to do. There's plenty of room for competition in these types of things, from how to meet the Performance Work Statement all the way to how to setup the internal org. structure to most efficiently handle contract compliance overhead.
Elm compiles to HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
The people who complain about how things work are the people who make things better. If everyone was satisfied with jQuery and felt that JS development could stop after that then we wouldn't be where we are today, and if everybody thinks that where we are now is fine then tomorrow will look exactly the same as today. I, for one, want tomorow to look different (and better) regardless of how rosy it looks today, so I will continue complaining. When I can, I will also do something about my complaints, and I do submit patches when I can, but unfortunately thats not always feasible.

Because back in the 1960's, someone speaking out about giving black people equal rights could have been called "vile" and "offensive." That which the majority considers "hate speech" one day might be considered good the next.

Long story short: if you stifle the speech of anyone - say, if they're objecting to an overzealous monarch who demands taxation without representation, OR objecting to puritanical standards that don't allow for interracial marriage - progress will not happen.

In our app the JWTs have a 5m lifetime. When a JWT is generated we also generate a single-use refresh token.

When a client tries to use an expired JWT the request fails, and the client will then exchange the refresh token for a new JWT/refresh token pair, and finally retry the request with the new token.

The refresh operation can reject the request if the user has been deactivated (it's basically a new login request, using the expired JWT as the username and the single-use token as the password).
Skepticism of WeWork has existed for years. Just check the comments on pre-2018 HN links related to WW.

Is that what you're getting out of this? That the media are revelling in taking down a fraud? What I get out of this is the scale of the disconnect between academic theories around capital investment, and the bullshit upon which those decisions are actually based.

Anybody who claims MBS and Jared Kushner are going to save the world is a sociopath and a liar willing to say whatever it takes to get pen to paper on another billion dollar funding round.
OKC used to be a nice usable site where you could meet interesting people and talk. They also used to publish quite a lot of original research.
