There are a bunch of comments about what effect stereoscopic vision actually has on depth perception, so let me explain:

Depth perception from stereoscopic vision primarily matters for things which are very close to you. I have amblyopia (1) and no particular problems in most of my day to day activities. The main place that I lose out is in sports, where there are frequently small fast moving objects moving towards you and a small amount of time getting to them. If I'm moving to pick up a glass of water things are going slow enough, and I have enough other feedback mechanisms, that I can determine the distance by the time my hand reaches the glass.

My favourite story about depth perception was when I was playing ping pong with a friend of mine in university. I'm not a great player, but we were going back and forth okay. Then on one of the returns he very slightly changed the speed that the ball was coming at me. I completely failed to hit it, and it became clear that I had been using timing as a mechanism to help me compensate for not knowing where in space the ball was.

It's unclear whether it's because of choosing activities based on what my condition lets me be good at, but I don't find the lack of 3D vision to be my biggest issue. My biggest issue is that when doing things I need to rotate my head to focus on things that are on my left. This is a really big deal when I'm biking, because I am frequently out in traffic. Since it still functions as peripheral vision I am aware of what's going on on my left side, but I have to turn my head way over to get more detail. This is unsafe since when I turn my head I'm more blinded on the right side than I was on the left when I was facing straight.

(1) Amblyopia causes the image from one eye to be suppressed. In my case it means that I'm primarily looking out of my right eye, and my left eye functions almost solely as peripheral vision. I can also force myself to switch which eye I'm looking out of, but I default back to the right eye if I'm not focussing.
I'm travelling early the next day, but am hopeful I'll make it along for a few beers at least.

"1. It is better to be first than it is to be better.".
How is this true ? Take google for instance...
The naked short seller has to physically deliver in 3 days, either with a loan, or by buying the stock.
What is the difference if you arrange the loan required to short sell before of after you do the short sale?
Drone strikes explicitly try not to hit non-combatants. ISIS slaughter wantonly. Some people have a world view that needs to see the US and ISIS as equivalently evil.
Although both EU's Council and EU's Court of Justice have been doing all they can to expand their powers the truth is that EU's "powers" are strictly defined by its startup/accession treaties. EU has nothing to do with health care beyond setting general standards.
They're not going to shut down the stock markets.
Of course! Which makes this Snopes article a piece trying to debunk proper medical practice.
Ok, thank you, very helpful. So I guess your opinion on this is, if you know enough GA, then GA becomes the best library you could think of.
As of today it's mostly a fake news. The question "are people dying for lack of ICUs?" is asked each day by journalists during the update from Head of the Civil Protection and the answer up to today is "still not".
North Italy (in particular Lombardia) is approaching the limit of available ICUs every day. New ICUs are activated every day and there are daily transfers of patients under ICU from Lombardia to other regions (that still don't suffer from much traffic). Still we can't exclude to hit such limit in a few days. It's true that once that limit will be hit there are official guidelines in place that say to give ICU to people with better life expectancy.

If you are interested to see how much Lombardia is hit compared to other regions, take a look here http://opendatadpc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...
One super high net worth individual who was a indirect customer of mine had a “parts guy”. Literally someone that traveled with him who was healthy and compatible blood type. That persons family was very well taken care of. But at a potential cost.
Not in the beginning. I recommend starting with any guided meditation with the focus on the breath. Then tweak what works for you: posture, counting or not counting the breaths, eyes open or closed, etc.
3x sounds more likely than x1/3.

The thing is that even if it is bigger than virus it still stops part of it.

Especially if it is true that virus is is not airborne and spreads through droplets.

In that case even scarf might be better than nothing (you should wash it often though).
Slightly unrelated... I'm not questioning validity of the claims in the above link.

Politics taints journalism far too much. I've found snopes.com to have the similar set of biases as the left-leaning media like NYT, WP and CNN. I don't think it's reasonable to accept for-profit orgs as arbiters of truth, since they don't have an inherent incentive to be truthful. To say that "you as a for-profit are going to say truth and only truth" is problematic and in itself deceitful. At least NYT and others are not claiming that.
I use https://deepwork.me/ [1] to follow Cal's "schedule every minute of the day" suggestion and it has definitely improved my productivity quite a bit. It's like markdown for scheduling.

Agreed, this is not what you sign up for when you go to the movies. They should focus on improving the experience of their customers, instead of finding new ways to screw them over.

Oh and reduce the cost of popcorn - seriously it is a joke.
Is Google Docs making that much money?
glycogen is your short-term in muscle energy storage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Metabolic_pathways explains why exertion with no glycogen burns fat.
I did a midrange deployment with bcfg2 (~250 machines), and what I found is that it was slow to use.

Firing off a bcfg2 push would take almost 20 minutes, which was pretty unusable; The big problem was that it didn't handle large numbers of connections simultaneously well, so I ended up having to stagger them.

CFengine was able to do the same push in < 30 seconds. Win.

I'll be looking at Chef again in the near future. It's got a LOT of nice features; Hopefully we can make it scale out quickly.
If it was just done without a mention you are probably right, but in this case the voice from the advert instructs the users to close their eyes so draws their attention to the image so it's not subliminal.

I could be wrong though. It's probably a bit of a grey area.
Yup, ditto (on an Acorn Electron for me).

Slavish copying, then the inevitable debugging; then modifying others programs; then writing ones own things and referring to others code for syntax hints and such. I never really went as far as copying algorithms. At this early stage I never learnt code reuse in the sense of having libraries and such, that probably held me back quite a bit. But then any instruction at that stage would have helped I think.
Nobody is talking about the new NFC (near field communication) features?
Why do you need $50k to work on this? It sounds like you're a developer and you rewards say it'll be ready in April which is only a couple months of work.
Yep. UBI -is- meant to be universal, and I'd be for it.

I'm just saying, even without a UBI, the existing system could be made to work. 50% is just a number thrown out there; it can be reduced, it can be non-linear. The point is that as long as there is no cliff, no point where if you make $1 extra by working you net -lose- money, we avoid the existing issue.

As to whether there is enough utility at any given total income to warrant the extra work...that's a 'problem' we have now, and always will have. Presented with the opportunity, do I want to turn my time into money? That's entirely dependent on how much I value each of those things.

There's actually a reason I chose 50%, beyond it just being a nice round number. See, if the federal minimum wage was upped to $15 at the same time as changing welfare like this, we'd be able to institute the fall off while making the benefit of working those hours feel like the same amount of buying power as working now. Only difference is, essentially, that everyone making less than 2x welfare/etc benefits, would see a larger increase even than that.

Edit: and re our discussion here, on this thread: a couple
of passing minutes to spit out a comment is not exactly in
them same league as committing to being a company's adviser.

Well clearly there are degrees of commitment. I think you might be surprised how much people are willing to help, for free. But, as I said, there may come a point where you have to compensate an advisor if you want a certain level of commitment. But for startups, depending on exactly how much you're asking of your advisors, you may be able to simply give them a fairly small equity stake, in exchange for their help.

This is only going to happen if there is some personal
connection.

Well, yeah. Of course. But you have to meet somehow and form the initial connection, in order for that deeper connection to grow. Maybe your advisor becomes somebody you met while networking 3 years ago (of course, pointing that out probably isn't helping the OP much) and formed a friendship with.
Works really nicely on my Droid, well done!
I haven't interacted with it, either. "Engineered into it" would be too strong a phrasing, but it's hard not to get the impression Laravel's creator(s) really, really want you to use their other services. I mean, compare the menu bars of rubyonrails.org, djangoproject.com, and laravel.com: Rails's first links are "blogs" and "guides"; Django's first links are "overview" and "download"; Laravel's first links are "Forge" (their commercial provisioning service) and "Vapor" (their "serverless" deployment platform).
CouchSurfing is a nice example of that. Sure, there have probably been some episodes, but for the majority it works really great.
So, Wikileaks isn't a reliable facility for safely getting information from inside large non-transparent governments and corporations. It's a left-wing activist organization.

You can't have it both ways. You're either one or the other.

The notion that Wikileaks was in some way obligated to "market" this material is nonsense. Virtually anyone else in the world could have contributed the "marketing" once the material was out there. There was no need whatsoever for Wikileaks to trade its credibility for promotional value. The only motivation I can detect behind it doing so is, again, that Julian Assange wanted to get on TV.
Link farming, probably. If you have a network of scraper sites already, you inject links to the posts into other posts. That's one of the motivations behind comment spam as well: it builds links pointing to a site, whether people look at the spam or not.

I don't know how much Ye Olde PageRank still factors into Google results, but I'm assuming it's still a significant factor.
> Unfortunately I have no good suggestion how to escape from that situation (quickly)

Java apps! ducks But seriously folks, I'm curious what went wrong there. The JVM these days is very fast, runs everywhere and comes installed by default on most operating systems. I was still a student during the java hayday, but the only downsides I vaguely recall were poor UI, poor security and poor speed. The last two have been fixed and the first one seems very fixable. Furthermore, you don't have to write apps in java anymore. It just seems like there's a lot of untapped potential there these days.
> How would you create those? What is an usual way to find possibilities of harm?

Typically i would consider that the responsibility of the people advocating that 5g should not be deployed. In many ways the "how" doesn't really matter, what matters is how compelling the end product, the argument, is.

That said, generally speaking you would go about it by taking what we know about how cells work, and what we know about how non-ionizing radiation works, and putting together a hypothesis about how damage could occur.

Fundamentally, i think my issue with most of the anti-5g stuff is that the arguments tend not to apply to just 5g - they tend to be vauge enough that they would apply to almost anything. To be convinced, i would want an argument that applies to 5g but also objectively does not apply to say older cell phones or a space heater (unless the person was explicitly arguing that those other things are also unsafe).
According to the Oxfam report linked by that Gyardian article[1], the global top 1% (~ millionaires) produce 15% of emissions, "more than twice the poorest 50% (c.3.1 billion people), or more than the entire cumulative emissions of citizens in the EU."

As someone who first learned that healthy Vitamin D levels were known to decrease respiratory illness severity (regardless if they help with COVID) I have mixed feelings about the repeated front-page posts. On one hand, I think it's useful information to know. On the other hand, it starts feeling a little weird. Like that person you knew in high school who claimed that some marijuana product cured basically any illness. It feels like it makes it lose credibility.
I should perhaps expand and sort of agree with you: You don't need to take sides. Just expand more on your stance as neutral than just saying "It's interesting". I expect more from HN comments I guess.

Now you are aware.

I also don't recall BLM protesters threatening the leaders of our government in a real and material way.
The physically possible options for energy production haven't changed too much in the last 80 years. Betting on a magical technology to spontaneously emerge in the next 80 seems dubious.
Police officers maybe individuals. But in a uniform, they are supposed to follow orders. If they are ordered to put up a barricade, it obviously is for keeping people out.

Not make "individual" decisions and allow them in, considering the context.
I use a 2008 MacBook and it still receives software updates (though a lot of modern software won’t run on it).
Yes, but SVG is not good as a machine-focused format as well, that's kind of the point.
Have any of the critics you refer to here actually used the current keyboards? For over several months? If that is even the case, they are probably those who prefer form over function, because the current keyboards are objectively no worse than the classical one and even better on certain aspects. The current keyboards have similar tactile feedback measured, even bigger touch space, better design for maintenance, and greater endurance against grease and dirt.

I wondered recently on HN if there was an idea around a social network that limited the number of friends/contacts you made:

One respondent suggested that this would limit growth. If a cap of 50 doesn't quite limit growth, I wonder if it's different enough to Facebook that it might have any success?
That explains a lot. Your site is still called Hacker News because you don't even know how to change the name. I assume the only reason the site isn't orange is because that information is stored in a CSS file.
My reasoning: nothing to do against Google (come on 50M?) but against new innovative entrants like Hipmunk, 50M well spent can make a difference. my 2cts
Is it possible that you're letting your distaste of the financial system and players involved color your judgment?

It's unlikely, since I don't have any distaste for finance. In most threads I'm the solitary defender of the financial sector.

As I said, it's easy to make up a scary story of doom. The scary story assumes that everyone will try to continue doing everything they previously did before the banks collapsed, and then give up rather than do things differently. Or perhaps the assumption is that the way things are now is the only way things could be. Either way, I'm unconvinced.
I mind when the main show loads just fine but the ads don't, turning a 1 minute wait time into 3 or 4+
Interesting how much money they get from other travel booking agencies. These are basically referrals of referrals.
For houses with lots of windows and bigger pets, one of the more ubiquitous sensors is the acoustic glass break sensor. You only need to jam that one for a few seconds to get in.
I believe the hover is throttled to avoid constant animations, so maybe 100ms before it'll draw the tooltip.
You're right. I'm Sorry.

I run a membership site called travelblogsuccess.com. My full-time job is at WooThemes for WooCommerce. I'm a firm believer of "eating your own dog food" thus we use WooCoommerce and several other plugins on my own side project. This has given me a better understanding of the products we sell at WooThemes as an actual customer on a live site. I learned more about our own products using it for my side project than learning and testing our plugins on a local development server.

As for the site itself it does require maintenance so not quite passive. It's important that we communicate with our community and update our lessons and courses often. We just introduced a public Slack community yesterday for example. We're now a team of four and could easily need more help. 2014 saw huge growth.

Initially I was concerned that my side project was going to take up too much of my time resulting in having two full-time positions. It did take some lifestyle changes in the beginning to free more time like spending less time messing around Facebook or Twitter and optimizing my time spent on my side project. In the end everything has worked very well. I spend on average an hour or two each day on my side project. Sometimes more if I'm simply watching TV while working on a few tasks during my downtime.

Sorry for the initial vague comment. Please do feel free to ask me any questions.
Yeah, the biggest advantage ESI offers is not requiring JS. If that's important to you, configure it and do extra rendering on the server-side. If not... :)
NP, I am known for my dense code...
seems like you could just do this with some sort of open source or shared standard that different providers use
"Time and again, China’s laobaixing, the common folk, survive tragedy caused by government irresponsibility and tell themselves just to be thankful they are alive"

"Many older Chinese people contrasted today’s wealth and stability with the cannibalism that became common during the famine, and felt grateful for where they were."

"One of the first Wuhan residents to post videos from its hospitals revealing the scale of the outbreak was Fang Bin, who spoke with The Times after an initial arrest on Feb. 4, 2020, then was reportedly arrested again five days later and has been missing ever since"

"Lawyers are like puppets here,” said Zhang’s lawyer, who asked that his name not be used because he has been forbidden to speak with foreign media. Even defending Zhang felt like a farce at times, he said, like he was “going along with the performance” and legitimizing a sham court. “Outside of the law,” he said, “is another, more terrifying hidden system that’s functioning.”

If you wonder how the CCP managed to stem the virus wonder no more. The CCP crushed the virus by continuing to crush the Chinese people.
Yes, but it's an artificial scarcity. Like you say, these assets are only scarce because all the participants agree that they're scarce. This is different from physical objects, which are scarce because of the laws of nature.
rustc is in pretty much every distro's repos at this point. They often have Cargo too. They sometimes, but not always, have rustup.
Throughout my career I've had recruiters attempt to get me to produce a "salary history". My polite way of telling them to go fuck themselves is to say "It's none of your business and it doesn't matter: This is my price and if you're not willing to pay it then we're done here." Still get the job offer probably four times out of five. There is no world in which telling them this info can be used for any purpose other than to attempt to pursuade you to take an offer for less money. Location-based pay is the same thing in a different wrapper and my response to it is the same.
Younger people who feel less agency have become the dominant demographic at HN.
The article is worse than you are portraying it. They go out and tie Murray to Alexander then in the next sentence remind the reader Murray is a racist.

"In one post, he aligned himself with Charles Murray, who proposed a link between race and I.Q. in “The Bell Curve.” In another, he pointed out that Mr. Murray believes Black people “are genetically less intelligent than white people.”"

You say "Metz doesn't call Alexander a racist", but that sentence is clearly trying to get his readers to think that.
If I understand your point, you're only considering marginal engineers that aren't expected to make a significant contribution to a product, and don't have competing offers.

In the other case, the company needs to accomplish something, believes you can do it, and you have a list of companies sending you offers.

Thats not so far fetched! Many of us hit that point in our careers.
Wow... how did mta convince rockstar to share stuff like that? For what purpose?
Another electricity market of similar scale that is also an energy-only market is the Australian NEM. It hasn't had an event similar to the ERCOT disaster of last winter yet, but there have been discussions about adding a capacity market mechanism.

Did you miss the part where the autopilot steered straight toward a clearly visible cyclist?

If the autopilot is so unreliable that it requires lightning-quick reflexes to override, it's going to lead to a lot of accidents from people who don't happen to be paying perfect attention at the time. I know the whole story is that drivers are supposed to be 100% engaged, but realistically that's just not going to happen when you literally market something as "full self-driving"
