Sorry for the late reply, but basically, - for me - the procedure is window dressing, its a a scam. I don't have any hard numbers to give you, but i assume 7/8 out of ten patients get away with it. For the remaining 10-20% of patients (atleast) theres no recourse and they have to live with the shitty results.

I thought i did my due diligence, but i only read medical papers, and in medical papers they standardize results.
So if you see 3 sharp A's thats 20/20, even though theres only one A on the board. And this is not to mention halos, starburst(just google them).
From my perspective they lie about the risk and it's an filthy industry built on this lie.

I've used glasses and contact lenses and i have never had so many issues with my eyes as after i had laser treatment on my eyes.
The biggest one was a migraine that would go away after 10 minutes if i closed one eye but i had it for 1 1 /2 year. I can honestly tell you that that shit brok me. Enduring pain every day will fuck you up.

So i had different results on both my eyes, not particular good on either i'd say but according to the optometrist i had great vision. Eventually the pain subsided, but it's not gone and comes back quite often (multiple times each day)
Then theres the discrepancy in vision quality.
One thing is not seeing sharp - how about text appearing grey in one eye and not the other.
I have double vision albeit only under certain circumstances(light).
I have variable sharpness.
I have have hazy vision.
I have a 2k USD OLED that i dont use, because white letters on black background is like a river of white fog beneathe the text. It's like a light shadow thats below bright stuff.
I also have this in real life, i see two white powercables, one like a opaque version of the other.

My night vision is a tragedy, the red break lights on a car will appear as large as a house with enough distance(it gets worse the further away i am from the source). Frontlights will blind me, led lights from scooters are offensive.

So all in all it bad all around. Nothing good to say about it at all.

Turns out theres these things called Higher order aberrations which basically is unevenness in the lens after treatment, which makes light bend. And get this, they don't diagnose for this because they don't have any tools or treatment for it basically.

In embedded SoCs the GPU is typically "render only", and display is handled by a different hardware block ("display engine" etc), and of course both CPU and GPU can write to it. Well that's even true in desktop GPUs but it's just tightly coupled there, both blocks are on the same PCIe device so the support is in one driver.

From the iPhone 7 Linux port we know that Apple is nothing special in terms of this (they have framebuffer working there)
My gut still says Boston dynamics
I used Milthriljs a few years back. Also created something similar with the goal is to create a "thinnest layer" for building UI.

What I realized is, "who would add something unnecessary anyway?".

I mean developers would think of keeping it as thin as possible. Just that over the time, we run into senarios that need extra codes. Otherwise, users would think about alternative solution. And in web development, it very likely to happen

Hope that you work out the real competitive advantage
You should try exercising in the morning. Lay out your running stuff before you go to bed. In the morning get out of bed and off for your run before you feel to tired to talk yourself out of it. This will also remove the 2-3 hour brain warm-up time most people seem to have.
1. True regarding minimums. But ultimately depends on what your objective is. A company like Retargeter doesn't have minimums as high as some of the larger networks due to the type of campaigns they run.

2. Many use DFP, but many also use Microsoft ATLAS, Open X (an open source ad server), among others.

3. Definitely true. Shouldn't be a problem as long as you stick to the more well known names in the space. Another concern with lower quality networks is click-fraud.
Same with MSN Messenger but they fixed that in the latest version.
oops. you're right
Documentation is pointless work? I think doctors, the highest-paying profession, would disagree.
Re vector clocks, Microsoft even employs Leslie Lamport
Have you considered arcosanti? It's where most of the ravers I know went when they realized their lives were empty without drugs.
I only send/receive about 500-1000 texts a month, but I noticed the vast majority are "alert-style" SMSes (e.g. Google Voice notifications, Twitter user subscriptions, etc.).

Perhaps she does the same?
I quite enjoyed the first comment:

"People that reject me are doing me a favor.

They're not rejecting me or my product. They're rejecting the combination of me and them together.

They're telling me we would have a bad relationship. And they're probably right."
Worked for me too, don't even need Mailinator (as you don't need to pickup the email). Address with randomly chosen Post (zip) code.

"I have been seeing Apple IP addresses hitting the site with fixed browsers identifying as OS X 10.9.2 since Saturday morning Cupertino time."
I posted something below but, I've used Excel for that purpose too but with Google docs multiple people can edit at the same time. I've used that feature quite a bit. It's easy to write a script to pull down the latest one.

If you're a tiny dev then yea, maybe Excel or OpenOffice, but as soon as your team gets bigger it seems like people are going to be waiting on each other to edit those excel files.
There are multiple decent reasons for Peace Corps not to fund formal research into what the issues are. There is no general recipe to make such research actually useful, especially without local knowledge. The function is already being done by development agencies or NGOs in their own flawed ways, and Peace Corps doesn't have funds for it. Peace Corps doesn't fund big infrastructure projects like building new libraries either. Its capability and mandate really only extends as far as placing and training requested volunteers. Volunteers are limited to the missions requested by the host government and local hosts. If those hosts want help applying for grants, volunteers might help them with that. It's unlikely we know better than locals how we should be helping them. It's actually impossible to determine and carry out locally meaningful interventions entirely from offices in the US, still less if nobody has any training. Even just applying for grants (for what, to be used by whom?)

Peace Corps isn't saving the world, but it does a little in a lot of places and it costs peanuts. If you can do better local work in the same places with the same resources, that's great, do it.
Perhaps. But it sounds like that's independent of the virus?

I only meant that the virus event doesn't add any fundamental flaw.
If class warfare is weak, then it probably just annoys the upper class and makes them less likely to cooperate. If you have some violent “glorious revolution” in mind, then you very probably wreck the economy and damn a huge portion of the lower class to extreme poverty, including the deaths of tens of millions and you also probably create a new, even narrower, more corrupt class of oligarchs with even more control over policy and the “means of production”.
Friends of mine were on a vacation in Italy too a few weeks ago. They said they were tested right at the border and got their results in under 24h
I'm not sure this is an example of that. It is not atypical for office buildings to have cameras/timeclocks/access control which records the movements of employees throughout the day, packet inspection and/or MITM of your network traffic, and a boss that literally looks over your shoulder.
No, you are not imagining it. Freedom is difficult; most people can't handle it and want an authority figure to guide them, especially in times of (perceived) threats.

"People want to be told what to do so badly that they'll listen to anyone."
- Mad Men

Could it be true and actually desirable if it saves millions of lives? At what stage is it worth giving up our liberties to save lives. Is it always a slippery slope?

Yes, of course martial law would reduce virus deaths, just as it would reduce crime rates. But that's the burden of a free society: the recognition that some values are more important than life itself and that some risks are worth taking. It is indeed tragic that many people are almost begging to throw away their rights and freedoms to deal with what is essentially a minor issue, in the grand scheme of things.
Sorry, the quotes around immune were meant to relay that I didn’t mean it literally and indeed recognizing that it’s a common (and unhealthy) misconception people can have about themselves.

Those two bytes of ASCII didn’t fully communicate all of that?
I have, I used Cake and thought the process was very navigable (but am glad it hasn't been put into use yet). https://www.joincake.com/
I'm starting to think Google PR's favorite channel is the editorial content advertisement.
The answer is, obviously, combining climate policy with populism. Tax CO2 / fuel / packaging / consumption / transport as much as you want, but spend that tax money on a UBI-like benefit. That by definition helps lowest earners the most, plus makes sure the government doesn’t waste the money.
I have had a Samsung TV, phone and washing machine. All of them were awful and unreliable despite winning wonderful praise from reviewers. I can't help but feel they were reviewing a different device to me.

Nowadays it's a running joke among my friends about how much I advocate against buying any Samsung devices to anyone who will listen. I've probably saved 5 people from buying a Samsung TV - instead convincing them to get one of LGs excellent TVs.
I'm a hobbyist who tried switching and really didn't like having to use C++ or blueprints.

Epic is working on a new language called verse though, so that might change the situation.
Exactly right. Couple that with the various types of work people are required to do and it's a doubly bad thesis. On my street alone, my neighbors include an oil field worker, a landscaper, a steel factory worker, and a UPS driver. So while the human-scale idea might work for white-collar office jobs (analogous to college campus life), there's no way it works for other professions that require separation distances for safety or logistical reasons.

Before the suburban boom, we tried human scale with dangerous or large-area jobs with company housing, stores, etc. and it resulted in high prices and monopolies. Given the choice, I'll pay for the roads and sit in traffic.
Exactly, and the right identity is also violated:

m >>= pure ≡ m
Sure, but no reason for those records to be on storage that is currently running at all.
There aren’t two physical realities but there are many social realities. Borders/societies/cultures/religions/laws/... are invented by humans and become real (as in has real impact on physical reality).
At a minimum put a fine on them that's high so they really want to avoid it. Seems most fines are only large enough to not cause the company too much pain.

Or another way would be to temporarily send the company to "jail" meaning to suspend its operations for a while.

When you look at this example or what happens to banks when they support criminal activity like money laundering or tax evasion the fines are simply way too low for them to stop doing bad stuff.
Given the recent anti-intellectualism and demonization of traditional media outlets by the American right, this shouldn't be a surprise.

I didn't claim NYT writers are unbiased, I said their reporting isn't "fact-free".
Though not from USA, I think people are preferring echo chambers because "reasonable disagreement" are labeled as extremism by the group.
I will agree that follow the rule of the law and if "law" is not adequate change it. No need for violence.
However if there is report of "some" discrepancy in voting. Now the discrepancy could be small enough to not change the result and most people will on the other side too will agree to it and not support the violence.
However people who claim that "discrepancy" was wide enough to change result should be listened to with respect. There is no objective way to know how big the discrepancy was.
Indeed people should listen to them and think of ways of reducing the discrepancy in future, while agreeing to disagree. Also agree that the degree of discrepancy is a subjective belief.

Instead people who feel that "discrepancy" was wide are being looked down upon and that does not give people space to talk to.

I am not aware of a good example but I am pretty sure there will be another example where the "others" are looked down upon with disdain. Such behaviour only creates more division and makes the echo chamber stronger.

You will find very smart people in each of these echo chambers so cannot say that these people cannot think properly.

Blaming social media for it is like print media was blamed when it first came out and opposed churches.

Edit: Changed the word biased to "cannot think properly" in the last but one sentence.
The FLCCC has been pushing Ivermectin, but I am not aware of an open letter analogous to this one or the similar one for masks that is signed by 100+ doctors & scientists.

I have not personally read the Ivermectin literature, but I think the FLCCC's methodology is good. (Paul Marik of FLCCC is a signatory on this vitamin D letter, BTW.) But it's notable that no one has Ivermectin deficiency, whereas more than half of people have insufficient vitamin D, especially in winter, so increased D intake is justified even in the absence of this COVID19 pandemic.
The titular four hour workweek was enabled by selling "herbal supplements" online IIRC. I don't regard that as aspirational. (Though I'm aware people need money to live, and you know, do what you gotta do I guess...but...).
Which NSA activities have been necessary for you to sleep in safety?

And as to the 'nasty unappealing job', what has led you to believe that is a common perspective among those who work there? The project detailings that have been released often seem downright giddy.
Interesting to note: whenever the ISS comes up in European or Russian media, it is presented as an international, collaborative scientific enterprise. When it comes up in American media, it is presented solely as an American achievement. The same is true for the coverage of all other international scientific collaborations (the ISS being one of the greatest example there is, alongside ITER).

Most Americans who know about the ISS aren't even aware that the ISS is not a NASA-only, American project. Ask around you, you'll see.

Case in point in this article:

"It’s a little strange when you think about it: Just about every American ninth-grader has never lived a moment without astronauts soaring overhead, living in space. But chances are, most ninth-graders don’t know the name of a single active astronaut—many don’t even know that Americans are up there. We’ve got a permanent space colony, inaugurated a year before the setting of the iconic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s a stunning achievement, and it’s completely ignored."
It’s not that we want to. Its not our choice. It’s decided by the people, or the foreign countries, that have the money to lend. It’s the rate they are willing to lend at. Most don’t lend it for free.
Painting my spare bedroom with my girlfriend.

It’s not as easy as YouTube makes it look and paint gets everywhere! But still happy to learn and try
CFexpress cards are considerably more expensive than other similar forms of storage like SD cards — a comparable 256GB CFexpress card currently goes for $259.99 [0]. From a pure cost perspective, it could very well be worth it. As a hobby photographer I would consider doing this for the fun of it anyway.

I feel most of my saving habits came from RPG games, not from my parents (although they did try to teach me that too).
From what I learned in art school (so take with a grain of salt) your brain will compensate for the 3d effect for a period of time (so that you think that you're still seeing in 3-d) but it can't compensate fully for 3d, which means if someone throws a ball to you, it's really difficult to catch it.

Apparently there was an artist who wore an eyepatch for a few months, after which his brain stopped the 3d effect, and he essentially was seeing in 2d.

This of course was all stuff told to me in an art class on perspective, so take with a grain of salt.
> Even on HTTPS, the referer is always sent

Ah I was mistaken... I assumed Referer was never sent cross-domain in this case. That seems wrong.
I wonder sometimes if we grant undue weight to "feeling" and "consciousness". A plant reacts to external stimuli in easy-to-understand ways. Sure, we are more complicated than that, but why are phototropisms just a curiosity while "feeling" is special? What if "feeling" and "consciousness" is nothing special at all, just extremely intricate and sophisticated clockwork that, like any sufficiently advanced technology, appears to be magic?
I don't think you understand the relationship between interest rates and risk. The reason that bank savings accounts have low interest rates is that they are zero risk (FDIC). Any asset class with a 5-9% expected return carries a substantial risk of losing you principal. In other words, sometimes borrowers default.
One of the most important things our adversarial system does is provide misstep feedback, when nobody else is willing to.

Fauci likely stated the mask trope with the best of intentions, but its also true that it was (in hindsight at the very least) a mistake for the current pandemic.

Most people who like what Fauci is doing would be too polite to call him out on it, but that’s a disservice in the long term. Not just to us but even to Fauci.
Hello, and thanks for your words, much appreciated.
As far as search capabilities, it's a bit tricky to create a fast search, when you have over billion posts full of text to search through. But I am working on putting together a text search within a specific group, which seems to be working pretty fast. I should have it completed in a week or two.
Not sure about the OP but I’m often browsing on iOS where this isn’t an option.
Yes, that would not be the first time either.

The times when "you are a godless atheist" was a serious call out threatening your social standing are still within living memory.

I think I'm missing something. Could you rephrase this?
Sources would be anyone who's grown up in a poor neighborhood. The day that government checks clear gets weird. Drug and liquor lines grow, as do those for sexual services. And of course the flurry of activity invites robbery, etc. Housing projects, for example homeless housing in SF, will ban visitors on and around those days.

I know it may be hard to believe, but 20-something drug addicts, the mentally ill, etc, don't exactly manage their budget as well the 40-year-old 85th percentile income earning HN programmer or 75-year-old retired school teacher.

That's not a moral judgment. It's just a fact. And to the degree it's a cultural artifact (i.e. maybe drug addicts in Sweden are veritable CFOs), a UBI won't change that overnight.
The numerator is equivalent to (x-1.5) *(x-1).
Cancel out the (x-1.5) from numerator and denominator, leaving x - 1 > 0.

I'm not sure what the point of the post is, or why the discussions here are using so many words I don't understand.
Not in carry-on. Passed a stack of cards directly to an agent. Almost comically stupid. TSA's job is to alert on oddities. A stack of cards with Arabic on one side and English words like "bomb" and "terrorist"... This takes the cake.

TSA alerts as they should, they are not qualified to do any more. The police should have called this guy an idiot and told him to get lost but it doesn't surprise me that it was beyond their pay grade and it took a few hours to call in a unit that could actual evaluate this guy.

Read Section I of the court doc and this is actually a reasonable edge-case [1]. Not to mention the recent travel to the middle east!

Yes, an interesting prognostication: a future with 'Total Recall' Johnny Cabs, a transportation circulatory system for cities. The gradual adoption would make most sense through the growth of closed systems where there are almost zero human drivers. Will the cars be like small public transit or are they single ride and not picking up random passengers along the way for the sake of efficiency (for the companies providing the rides surely electric cars and more single rides will yield greater monetary gains)? The social impact would be interesting - I've had good experiences meeting and talking with Uber drivers. That human element would certainly be removed, and now I am alone and robotically chauffeured around town staring at other people through the window. I'm intrigued at how it would feel to use such a system.
I've been looking at a good document management/note-taking app, to use in legal work, and I've found it surprisingly difficult. My needs are simple: 1) Rich-text notetaking; 2) DOCX/PDF markup, ideally with annotation extraction; 3) indexing and search of DOCX/PDF with preview; 4) drag & drop desktop integration; 5) mac + pc. The cloud-only solutions are right-out. Evernote comes pretty close to hitting all the points, and the Skitch-derived PDF annotation summary is awesome, but the Mac/PC databases aren't compatible so they can't be put on a shared drive.
Coincidentally, the capital of my country has just banned those :)

Regardless, how many cars without software do you think there will be by 2025?
Amazing! You should use the "Heroku Button" for a quickily implementation

Do you remember toll takers at the golden gate bridge?

Replacing them was slow because of the government.

The private sector will have no problem replacing taxi drivers when the technology is available from Google and every car manufacturer.
The huge difference is that in most other countries the transport police are autonomous from any single actor and not part of or beholden to a single corporation.

Mac Pro is an expensive desktop computer; people are saying it makes sense someone would also have a laptop for portability in that situation. A MacBook Air is 5-15% the price of a Mac Pro depending on the configuration, not exactly doubling the computing budget.

Pros are supposedly typically bought by businesses, too, which would have a fleet of devices.

Just explaining—hopefully it helped.
