Mine requires minimal cooking.

It’s 8 eggs a day (soft boiled in a $20 egg steamer)... lots of bok choy or broccoli in avocado oil (oil for calories)... rice... and protein shakes. I microwave the veggies.

Protein shake recipe is Greek yogurt from Costco, frozen berries, oatmeal, a scoop of pea protein, avocado oil.

I combine the two to get 3000 calories a day.

I enjoy food sometimes, like the first few bites, but to me hunger is a disease and eating is a chore. I’ve always had a poor appetite and low-ish (21) BMI.
Take a look at the defense fleet that Boeing supports: https://www.boeing.com/defense/
Also, 737-800, not a MAX. Occured 21 July 2020.

And...

"Whilst an incorrect takeoff weight was used for aircraft performance planning, the thrust required for the actual TOW and environmental conditions (88.2% N1) was marginally less than the thrust used for the takeoff (88.3% N1). This meant the safe operation of the aircraft was not compromised."

So it was a "something bad could have happened" situation that called for a change in procedure to avoid a future, real problem.

From the content,

>Most countries don’t allow patent for a software[1]. Economic theories, methods of doing business, mathematical methods or computer programs as such are not patentable inventions in several countries.

The hyperlinked content from WIPO details about patentability of softwares/algorithm(Link doesn't seem to be working now, so including archive)

In short, in USA -

"According to the US Supreme Court , the Congress intended the statutory patentable subject matter to include anything under the sun made by man,” but the laws of nature, natural phenomena and abstract ideas are three specific areas which are not patentable."

So, you can apply patent for the application of that algorithm.

Since this week the Dutch national road traffic agency (RDW) is allowed to grant exemptions to companies that want to do tests with self driving cars and trucks on Dutch roads.

So the Netherlands is also going for self driving cars.

I won't be surprised if our grandkids will laugh at us when we tell them we drove cars ourselves ;)
Not entirely sure, but I think that's because it's a self-signed certificate.
> Perhaps he could move to a paid subscription model.

It was on a paid subscription model before the current one. Loading the site was free, but you had to pay for the RSS feed.

Or maybe it was that buying a shirt got you RSS feed access for a while? Don't quite remember now.
You're correct, however I took care to make the algorithm work in realtime, so you can use it in any FPV transmission. I'm going to prepare a good FPV system to run this with video transmission, but since the algorithm is very fast, it can be executed by an Raspberry Pi or a Beagleboard for instance (embedded in the drone), to avoid loss of quality of the transmission and issues like that.
It doesn't contain any new ideas, no - there are many other tutorials about eigenfaces with example code, such as:

The wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenface) also contains code for a MATLAB implementation.

I just wish someone would invite me. It's the cool kids table all over again, 20 years after the utter joy of "I'll never have to deal with this again". I am perfectly content running my 1 man consulting practice, researching all of the world's knowledge for that break through insight that tells me what to invent. Alone. But now, there's knowledge that's off limits to me. Lex Fridman talking to Elon Musk about God knows what. And all of it, lost to me forever, because I never quite got the hang of knowing people. Someone tell me I'm not missing anything. That my time is better spent focusing on the work that moves my needle rather than communing with...people.
The only agenda AIs have is what we give them in one form or another. They are our tools.
If it is anything like my company, the people in charge of AI ethics are self professed social justice warriors with degrees in the humanities and not much technical knowledge.
This is a great way to put it - this is our MVP, or our "Tesla Roadster", and it will be used to get us to a more permanent, scalable process for carbon removal.

Why should Modesto have a say in what gets built in San Francisco? I’m pretty sure the folks in Modesto would be pretty pissed if San Francisco was dictating building rules to them!

And Phoenix or Las Vegas aren’t even in the same states or legal jurisdictions. If you told them San Francisco was going to be able to tell them what to build or how, you’d just get laughed at.

If you think building a high density apartment complex in the middle of a single family zoned subdivision against the residents wishes wouldn’t be taken as a ‘shot to the nuts’ of someone who had bought and lived there for years, you probably don’t know too many people who have?

Fair or not, you can’t walk in and dictate to someone in that situation how they are going to take it, or what is reasonable and expect anything but well deserved anger.
Do you have an html framework or tool you recommend for this? I like LaTeX a lot for its stability and very reliable results, but I've more recently wanted easier embedding without sacrificing this, and hadn't thought of using html.
There's an interesting talk by Robin Hanson that argues that the absence of observed alien life should make us think human civilization is likely to go extinct and therefore that interplanetary colonization is either harder than believed or insufficient to propagate life long term.

This is certainly interesting but it doesn't look conclusive
My point was that for almost all users, it's conceivable that a PIN could be guessed or obtained by someone wanted access to the phone casually. A good friend of mine amazed me by casually reverse engineering my PIN over the course of a week in the pre-TouchID days of iPhone. He wasn't especially interested, he just watched me for a few days to crack it.

However a finger print is significantly harder for a casual interloper to simulate.

The way their payment system and marketing rules are designed--and I know this isn't some complex-to-solve problem as I actively ran a popular app store that did not have this user-and-developer-alike-hostile feature--prevents "porting" purchases, so if you buy a bunch of apps on iOS you are forever locked into iOS unless you want to repurchase all of them for Android: this is purposeful lock-in.
Just to nitpick, because we are on HN: I remember a story of a cartel in Latin America kidnapping networking experts to force them to develop their technology stack. That may count as "stealing" talents?

Not sure if that's what I remember, but here is a Wired article: https://www.wired.com/2012/11/zeta-radio/

Edit: of course I'm not implying that Huawei does this...
I see. These feel like super user problems? Except for the last one, which isn't a problem in many cases in that if it's that important, the user could have just changed to Google Sheets.

It appears that you have a pretty tough battle on your hands - you are straight up competing with Microsoft and Google, and an army of super users who probably have a large incentive not to change? You also have a network effect to overcome - even if you get users, they need to convince other users to use it at their org/whatever.
By that logic, any enthusiast who has, over the last ~30 years, reverse engineered and written a Linux driver for a random piece of hardware, should get paid by the manufacturer. That's just absurd.

I really doubt that Apple will latch onto the Linux porting effort at all. Their goal is to get people to buy their laptops and run macOS on them, and to lock developers in via Xcode and the Mac (and iOS) App Stores. Linux would be a distraction, at best.
Nomad allows you to rely on the host OS'+task driver primitives for storage and networking ( e.g. mount a docker volume, use the docker bridge network, mount a host folder, get an IPv6 etc.) or pass through CSI and CNI for those things for mose complex scenarios.
No, it's weird af to use two dashes.
Just read through this thread and this is your value prop. Please just say "Version Control for Excel" and everyone here will get it.
Modern networks use IPv6 only, so don't have NAT.
"I can't put my finger on it either, but there really is something concrete about 'family values' that expresses itself for generations."

I wasn't around at the time, but I think that the social movements of the '60s and '70s threw the baby out with the bathwater. There were definite wrongs that needed to be fixed (segregation being the prime example), but in the process of fixing them we inadvertently damaged key aspects of our societal structure. I think that this happened because of the way our culture lumps together completely unrelated positions into strongly correlated groupings that we label "conservative" and "liberal." As a modern example, consider the fact that people's positions on gun control, abortion, and taxes all tend to correlate very strongly in our country, even though all three are orthogonal (libertarians being an example of people who buck this trend to some degree). In the '60s and '70s, bad things like racism got lumped in with many of the good things we collectively label as "family values," to the point where many of the people fighting against the bad stuff saw the good parts as being part and parcel.

This carries over today: my most liberal friends consider "family values" to be an ugly euphemism for "racism," "homophobia," and "misogyny." They don't make any distinction for the good parts like "get married before you have kids," and "marriage is a serious and important commitment which requires a lifetime of compromise and sacrifice." They think that the bad parts are inherent aspects of the culture, which implies that the only way to get rid of them is to radically change the entire culture. I've even read positions more extreme than those of my friends: people who think the parts I label good, like the institution of marriage, to be part of the problem.
Likely the approver forgot about that guideline from their training and let it through by accident. From the history of the other mentioned apps, it sounds like it will get pulled soon enough and all will be right again.

I can understand that inconsistency is annoying, but wikipedia applies the "notable" standard at least as inconsistently and stories about that don't make the front page. Thankfully.
The list of "Participating Companies" on their home page is impressive - truly a who's who of New York startups. If they do have access to job postings from these companies before they go public, they have a fantastic (and valuable) resource.
No news here; 4chan gets DDoSed all the time. Whether it's Kimmo Alm from Anontalk, or the orange box fiasco (not necessarily disparate events), or a back-raid, or, or, or... They make themselves a target. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with recent activities.
I love that this guy, and people who think like him, are my competition.
Until somebody can come up with at least some method of restricting vim scripting, the results are useless(one can easily only use 4 key strokes by key mapping as you can see). But, on the other hand, you can't just disable vim from loading scripts, because there's no point in mastering the plain old vim without any plugins, custom key mappings and such.
No, I didn't say that - what gave you that impression? Did you read the grandparent?

Finland is also not just Helsinki, you know.
What does it mean when companies are trolling around looking for "HTML5"? Is that just the new buzzword? Or are that many companies actually interested in building things with Canvas these days? (I hope it's not because they think you need some sort of special HTML5 experience to learn how to embed video.)
Their production source code has the salt for the encryption algorithm hard coded as the (presumably H1B worker's) name "Amalesh"
To play Devil’s advocate, congresspeople don’t typically get re-elected without bills (failed or otherwise) to show for it and speeches don’t cut it. Also, such a bill targeted at Trump would have 0% chance of passing since it would go across his desk.

But yes, I agree.
The second paragraph is lamenting the fact that other instances can refuse to federate with you:

> Especially since Mastodon seems to have (from my limited understanding) a "if you dare to talk to the Bad People you're also a Bad Person and getting dropped" mentality, effectively meaning that you cannot run an instance that is federating with both the mainstream fediverse and anything the mainstream fediverse doesn't like.
The "tech specs" do not mention a resolution or even the dimensions of ... well ... anything. Interesting idea but lacking specific numbers I can't say that I would gamble on this.
> The Cuban community is the only community of fairly recent immigrants of which I'm aware that doesn't reliably vote for democrats

Vietnamese Americans tend to vote Republican as well, and until the Trump era, so did Filipino Americans: https://asiamattersforamerica.org/articles/key-statistics-on...

> Hispanic votes for republicans may have increased this year, but they are still absolutely nowhere near 50/50.

Sure, but I find it remarkable that they increased vote share AT ALL while running on a fairly explicitly anti-Hispanic immigration platform.

> My understanding of the Epoch Times is that it's [...] not very representative of Asians in general.

But apparently quite influential in some language communities.

I'm not arguing that recent immigrants do not, overall, predominantly vote Democratic. But I think that behavior is not nearly as immutable as this discussion suggests. Many immigrants (a) come to the US in search of economic opportunities and (b) have somewhat more conservative personal values than their US-born peers. So they should be quite amenable to some flavors of Republicanism.
Spending a lot of time in Barcelona each year - what exactly is there to disrupt? taxi service is excellent, at all times of day. prices are reasonable, they know where to take you. cars are ok, clean.

i get it in the US, with all those shitty cabs and foreign drivers who don't know their areas, but Europe is different.

Apps like mytaxi.com are closing the payment/booking gap - backed by some powerful companies like Daimler.

Uber-like services are needed in the US where the government is unable to actually do its work due to a culture of distrust and paranoia.

There is no electronic health record, Google could not make it work. Sci Fi in the US. Austrians have had it for years now. Awesomely simple, proven. No startups needed. Also less chances for creating the next billionaires, but maybe it's ok if the rest of the population can enjoy working public services.
For example, my partner works at a clothes retail shop. There's dozens of staff who work non-stop throughout the day to sort out incoming deliveries. It's a clothes shop: things belong on retail shelves and are hung up, so don't you think that a delivery truck could drive up to it (automated?) and "connect" to the shop through it's back opening, connect some sort of bar and have a fully automated stock room.. I know this explanation is terrible but we see such amazing automated warehouses and factories that it amazes me sometimes that not more of the world is automated, especially when it comes to shipping/delivery trucks/restocking, etc...
Mongodb was a lot easier to manipulate json in for a while vs postgres, but once postgres got json path support it evened out a bit imo.

Say you have some json and nested in it somewhere is an array of objects, and you want to just map over that and update those objects. I was writing a migration to do that in Postgres <11 once and it was not fun to try and figure out how to do it.

I haven't worked with Mongo in years though, so no clue how it has evolved since like 2015.
Numerical methods exist. There's a whole field to simulate PDEs that you can't solve exactly.
> I agree that 538 was likely over-interpreting their data

I did not say this.

I'm illustrating the original poster's comment about these forecasts being guesses of likelihood.

Of course Nate Silver and co. did not have Comey reopening the case as a factor in their models; that is not an indictment of the model itself.

Yet I'm sure all of us knew folks who had opinions riding on the 85%+ forecasts, and then losing faith in the predictions as they wildly changed over the course of weeks.
It feels to me like importing names from a module gets you a set of names from that module, so I'm already thinking about it as a collection. It doesn't bother me at all that it's turned into a tuple and spread over multiple lines.
Yes, notably there is no hard mode. Elimination seems necessary in order to have a chance of completing in 6 tries.
It doesn't even take that. If Facebook doesn't want you to see somebody's updates, you'll never see anything from them.

It really likes to show covid stuff though, since that drives their engagement and advertising bits. You have to click an extra button to see the post in the end, but you're still notified that the post exists
This is in the context of New Zealand (but it does raise many questions about international intelligence sharing and the nature of these systems).

New Zealand has already admitted that their targeting of Kim Dotcom was against their laws. Their solution for the future? They passed a law this week that removes the exemption from domestic spying for New Zealand citizens and residents[1]. Once the system's in place, it just takes a stroke of the pen...

They are bundling in the Ask toolbar, a known piece of malware/spyware. See: http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/ask-toolbars/

Whenever you see the word "toolbar," just think "virus," because that's pretty much what they amount to. See: http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-guy-whos-fixing-your-c... (#2)

An organization claiming to be for "open source" should not be distributing KNOWN malware, by ANY means. PERIOD.

I have one major project on SourceForge that is pretty much inactive. If I ever do the rewrite of it I'm thinking of, that new code will not be hosted there. It'll probably be on GitHub.
Agreed. I'm British Asian and work on the the trading floor of a mid-tier bank in London, race is completely a non-issue. Diversity is huge both on the business and tech side.

On the IBD side (M&A/CF) there's probably less diversity, but again it's not a huge issue. In IBD the division is more down to class than to race.

The trading floor is still male dominated though, although there are a fair number of female quants in the industry.
To +1 one this: Having spent a great deal of time consulting to government, in addition to working in media, but with a deep background in tech, the managerial class of people making policy have a revolving door to the universities, which are seized by faddish ideas as often as the elected representatives.
Many of these policy people actually come to hate technologists because they find their more chauvinistic plans are thwarted by the privacy and security people who are at the table because of competence that can't be ignored, and not elite credentials.

As a result, the managerialists double down on what makes them different from techs, which means being extra airy, vague, political, and what most working people interpret as untrustworthy. It's practically a shibboleth, as if to say they don't need to seem honest because they are powerful.
I don't think this managerial class is as necessary as people who are a part of it think.

The class disconnect is more pronounced in recent years because of the stark differences in physical competence and the precarious status of people who imagine themselves as "elite." What they deride as populism is much more complex than they perceive. Working people expect their elites to at least be somewhat noble, and when they aren't, history is the story we tell about what happens to them.
But does the book look at it from the angle of the working class specifically? Knowing only the broad thesis of that book, I'm not sure it's relevant to the claim made in this article which is about the working class specifically.
Personally I can't stand dark mode. It literally hurts my eyes. Strain after a few moments and interlacing ghost lines that linger in my vision for a minute.

Does anyone else have this?

Is it brain cancer?!

edit: Thanks, I'm pretty sure it's not cancer.

Question: But why me? Age? Staring too long at monitors? Drugs? It doesn't seem to effect too many others.
If you have high fixed costs, say to produce high-quality films, and you can grow your audience 40% per year with reasonable marketing expenditures, you have little chance to "bring in more than you spend" for several years until your subscriber base is large enough to cover the high fixed costs.

If you spend more on marketing than the customer lifetime value, or if you have high churn, then yes, you have a failed business. But if you have reasonable marketing, high growth, low churn, then you will have a fairly incredible money printing machine in the future. And there are many people willing to give you $10 now if you promise a portion of this future profit machine!
> This is also about not changing the rules after the fact. There's lots of fair ways to structure a society. But it undermines notions of rule of law for the government to change the terms of the bargain after-the-fact.

Surely that happens all the time, though?

I mean, if I brought a car factory in 1950 is it unjust that the government changed the deal by forcing me to start supplying seatbelts in the 1960s?
I didn't believe you, so I looked at a chart and found you are right:
https://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historic...

And the same is basically true if you bought in 1966. What this tells me is that the Dow Jones (or stock market in general?) is not a good indicator (or even proxy) of wealth. Because GDP obviously grew immensely in both 30 years periods.
