I have an ICD for Brugada Syndrome, which is being replaced on Monday due to battery failure.

Warnings about strong magnets are standard with them. In fact we're advised to use speaker-phone or headsets if possible, as holding mobile phones to the left ear may disable the device.

I also have authority to bypass many security scanners as I'm disabled (as in my device is in "stupid mode" which means no cardioversion or defibrillation) whilst within them.

So this is old news, at least to those of us with ICDs. There's no way we put anything magnetic or that produces EM fields in a left hand shirt pocket.
I'm a paleo guy and I agree with what you wrote, but I'm uncomfortable with stating it with such certainty. Personally, when I'm evaluating a fringe idea one thing I look for is modesty in the people proposing it. When a proponent speaks with too much certainty it smells of quackery.
Where would one start on something like that? Getting local updated pricing information would seem to be a big missing link. Perhaps crowd sourcing? That would need a critical mass to make it useful. Maybe trying to focus on specific cities first might make it easier.
But how is 'more ubiquitous credit card processing' going to eat market share away from credit card companies unless Square starts issuing its own credit cards? At some point the gambit would have to be "I'm going to drop VISA and start issuing my own credit cards... or VISA can just take a smaller cut." That doesn't seem likely.
why not leave it open?
Indeed. That's kind of the underlying issue.

Everyone distrust business people, even other business people. It's that they (the stereotype) are so inherently driven by self-gain, so you always have to be wary that they won't use or backstab you.

Engineers on the other hand are usually more concerned with taking advantage of technology than of other people, so they're 'safer'.
Tell me about it! - DROdio
Agreed. I'm trying to, but need them to link my old app to the new one for SSL API purposes, but that means a mystical form-filling-waiting-might-happen-might-not. I'll focus on the things that I can change while I wait!
>Does anyone really believe health care prices are correct?

Yes. Market clearing prices are set by the intersection of desire/need and scarcity.

Health care prices can be virtually as high as you like if you can make health care scarce enough, because pretty much everybody wants to live.

The greatest profits are usually found where scarcity meets desperation.

This is also why most large corporations spend half of their time trying to tweak the desire side (advertising) and the scarcity side (market manipulation/intellectual property/contractual exclusivity/lobbying) in a bid to secure margins. De beers is probably the clearest example of success in these endeavours.
Belief in progress, in general, and the URSS being the embodiment of it, in particular. E.g. "I have seen the future, and it works."
These are really cool!
The goal of legra was to provide primitives though and not just for images so one can draw dynamic, charts, shapes, animations.
I remember in years past these analyses would often have mention of Objective-C. Now I rarely see Objective-C or Swift mentioned at all. Is iOS development not as big as it used to be? Do people use react native or Xamarin or other cross-platform tool chains more?
Right, let's clarify what I mean by "throttling". All intel CPUs have base and turbo speeds, and the turbo speeds usually only apply to a single core or to multiple while there is thermal headroom. By "throttling" I do mean the CPU falling below its base frequency to protect itself, I don't mean the turbo frequency falling down under load, that's normal and happens even on desktop CPUs with ample cooling.

As an example - the CPU in the Razer Blade is an i7-8565U, with base speed 1.8GHz, turbo speed 4.6GHz. Under maximum load I'll see it jump to 4.6GHz briefly, and then settle at 3.2GHz where it will remain indefinitely. Sure, the CPU has "throttled" down from its maximum turbo speed, but it's stable at 3.2GHz on default cooling. In comparison, I used to own an MSI GT63R with a quad core i7(2630QM if I remember correctly) and that CPU would "throttle" by regularly falling down to 400-600MHz(!!!) as a result of stretched thermals. It was not "stable" at neither its base nor turbo speeds. That behaviour still happens(in the mentioned Air, or an XPS 15 for instance) but there are definitely laptops which don't do that at all.
Coincidentally on vacation I'm reading Leonard Suskind's "Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory: The Theoretical Minimum", which (I think, if I'm understanding correctly), goes into this question. Something about Gauge Invariance..

Very, very wrong, and akin to victim blaming. Stealing is a crime, even if I accidentally left my door open or my S3 bucket settings open. Taking something that isn't yours is both morally and legally wrong.
Since most drives are started and used concurrently this bug would blow any RAID set up. There's a dark day coming for some sysadmins.
> The US doesn’t submit to the jurisdiction of the ICC, which is voluntary.

ICC members follow universal jurisdiction when it comes to war crime.
And pretty sure the Swift team did it after seeing how well it went for julia.
Hey guys,
I want to show you Futurecam (futurecam.app), a labor of love, which I've been working on for the past 3 years after I quit my job at Google.

I've been been interested in photography for a long time, first with my Sony mirrorless camera. Like everyone else, I moved to smartphones but found them lacking for the kind of photography I wanted to do. I looked around, and there were some good apps, but none did exactly what I wanted. I kept experimenting with computational photography algorithms, running an experiment one weekend with a billion pixels, for example. I built Futurecam from this exploration, and did fun things along the way like GPU-accelerating and optimising our algorithms to process 1GB of data every second on an iPhone!

I built Futurecam not to be a replica of an SLR in software form, but to do things an SLR cannot do. For example, Futurecam's Liquid Shutter lets you change the shutter speed of a long exposure after capture. You can play with this live on our web site futurecam.app. Futurecam also has a light trail video which, again, you can try out on the website. And more.

Try it out for free, and if you know anyone passionate about photography, let them know.
Are you implying that those four Google employees were fired for low performance? Is there any evidence that they weren't productive in their respective positions?

Copenhagen, Denmark — Stealth Company is Hiring an iOS Developer

After going through a famous US incubator and raising money from a who’s who of silicon valley investors, we have finalized a fundamental new technology that enables app developers to handle a lot more data in a lot less time and at a fraction of the battery life. But above all, our technology lets you manipulate data in a way that is extremely intuitive and a joy to use compared to today’s data frameworks: you get native data structures that you can just iterate on, standard access methods, and all the good stuff you’d expect to be able to do in the 21st century. Thanks to this, developers are able to develop apps much faster, but also deliver on use-cases that are impossible to conceive today.

We are now looking for a native iOS developer with at least 2 years full-time experience who can help us refine the product, make our native interface even more delightful, and build next-generation apps using it.

We offer competitive salary, stock options, catered lunches and all the usuals bells & whistles. You can apply or ask us any questions at timanglade@gmail.com.

> Nobody is saying McCarthy was right or endorsing his tactics.

You are correct that they are in fact not saying that; the hypocrisy is in then turning around and saying that cancel culture is right and endorsing their tactics.
Just firewall off all management interfaces and allow via IP as needed. It's still possible your webserver will get become vulnerable, but you'll prob here about it here if it is.
This is a strawman, we are talking about workers right in the US, not healthcare or gun control. You may disagree with the way work is regulated in the US, but at least attack those regulations instead of trying to derail into two other, highly nuanced and emotional, subject matters.
> So you want the government to force private companies to continue doing business with someone they no longer wish to provide services to?

I didn't see him mention the government at all. Just because you think something is wrong to do, doesn't automatically mean the government has to get involved.
Is it possible that what is best for bodybuilders is not what is best for average joes?

Look at the first 4 bullet points that list the studies. Two of the studies look at "recreationally trained men", one of the study looks at untrained males, and only one study looks at "well trained males". But for the well trained males, their 1RM max bench press was ~100kg and 1RM max back squat was 120 kg. I cannot even begin to fathom what male can not even bench 2 plates and would consider themselves well trained with respect to weight lifting. I do olympic lifts and power lifts, and literally the first squat I ever did in my life with a bar on my back was more than 120kg.

The general problem with bodybuilding knowledge is that literally everything in someone's life will affect the results they get. Their genetics. How their sleep is. How their stress levels are. What kind of job they do. Whether they've trained before. Whether they do other exercises. What their diet is like. All of that will have an effect regardless of what you do in the gym. So maybe someone hears slightly suboptimal advice about rest timing, because the person giving it has the rest of their life on point and appears to get good results from their suboptimal timing.
Nobody has banned politics on HN. There are a zillion explanations of this at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

Tedious, eternal flamewar is another matter. The point of HN is to have a place on the internet that isn't dominated by that.

As for "the status quo here is California liberalism", everyone thinks HN is dominated by the other side. The GP made the opposite claim (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26732300). In both cases it is imaginary.
Twitch has reasonable competition - YouTube and to a significantly lesser extent Facebook Gaming.

But let’s take a step back here - no one is entitled to be a Full time professional streamer. Say you do something egregious (or not) and get banned from all streaming sites - just go get another job? Twitch doesn’t have a monopoly on employment.
Agree with this. Although I’m gonna say it is not the single file per-se which is the winning technology here but the component scoped styles. When writing vanilla web components this can be accomplished with `this.attachShadow()`, and in Stencil you write an external stylesheet and reference it with a `styleUrl` in your `@Component` decorator.

In fact it is kind of nice to put your styles in another file if you have a designer on your team who is afraid to touch any files that don’t have the `.css` extension.
As much as some chafe against the "Jobsian" world of Apple products, Steve makes many choices for you and most of those choices are right for most people most of the time. That's about the best you can do.

Couldn't disagree more. I like keyboards on my smartphones, and GPUs fall low on the scale of needs: I use it mostly for productive or professional use. For a lot of smartphone buyers, Rage graphics just don't matter.

I would go so far as to say as people buying an iPhone are buying an iPhone; people buying an Android phone are buying a phone (or, in some cases, they're not buying an iPhone).

People buying an Android are buying a Smartphone. No they aren't buying a brand or some sort of ridiculous personal identity. As a smartphone the Android devices are a bang up option.

My personal belief is that Android handset manufacturers are participating in seppuku.

You mean the makers who have seen the platform's sales increase 1200%+ since January? I would say the metrics would say that you are completely off the mark.
I'd rather see the sandbox model for process isolation improved, instead of trying to re-invent it from scratch with a virtual CPU that has backdoor traps for calling into the original kernel for almost everything. I'd think the attack surface would be about the same for that, and any kind of virtualization that is so lightweight that it reuses most of the host kernel. That's exactly the problem that the x86/x86_64 memory protection and CPU ring levels were intended to solve! :) Plus you won't have the stress of having to virtualize a separate network card, file system and memory map.
Most environmentalists complain of the side effects of fracking as the high consumption of water and the pollution of phreatic tables (because of the chemicals used). So fracking is not that great.
I'm still waiting for someone to develop the "password" font () so I can tell clients to use that before they put passwords in Word docs before they email them over.
Healthy diet keeps you healthy, but it does not slow aging. It prevents death from reasons other than aging.

To prove "slowing aging", you need to demonstrate increase in maximum lifespan, not average lifespan. Exercise, diet, etc. increase average lifespan. There is no evidence they increase maximum lifespan, none at all.
Thanks for the link!

Even if SpaceX are not successful this time, they've raised the bar for their competitors tenfold. I'm amazed how little ESA, ULA and Orbital are doing in the direction of reusable rockets.
>>Beverly Hills recorded the highest-priced sale in its history Thursday at $70 million for an 8-bedroom, 15-bath home in Trousdale Estates.

I've often wondered what Notch intends to do with his Minecraft millions. Looks like he's "loading up the truck and movin to Beverly, Hills that is". Sounds like a nice house, kind of an odd bedroom to bath ratio though.
The whole 10X thing (which sounds like some superhero myth or whatever) is much simpler then we sometimes want to believe.

The work we do is not that unique. While often it will not be identical, but will share a lot in common. We learn what worked in the past in similar situation, and apply it successfully in the future.

That's it. Bottom line, experience matters a lot.

Go outside more if you want to see ugly cars
Simplicity is often a matter of perspective, a function of a certain perception of a complex subject and the set of expectations that go with this perception. There is no absolute in analysis and in modelling synthetic propositions from the atoms used by the particular analysis.

(E.g., we may analyse and model an action in terms of verb-noun or of noun-verb, with major differences in what may be perceived as "simple" in the respective model.)
Can't wait to try out the Sourcegraph integration, as well as the improved rebase. At our place the rebase button on GitLab is so slow that no one uses it.
It's likely that your spine will have sustained some damage in an accident that jammed your doors. That means you want level extraction, which requires removing both driver's side doors and the B pillar ("total sidewall removal"). Pulling a healthy person (or an injured person if they need to be removed from the car right now) out of a car is easy, doing it without further spine damage is a lot harder. Practising it is great fun, though :)
We need to stop callin it “climate change” and start calling it ”climate crisis”.
Who determines what is fair? Is it not The People? The point is that government employees shouldn't need a union because the voters should be enacting laws and electing leaders who make fair policies. Also, that the government services that people rely on should not be held hostage by the workers.
I find pure audio to be the least appealing format to absorb information from. It's simultaneously distracting yet non-engaging. If I want to learn something new, print or video work best for me. Print if the concept is information based. Video if it's technique based.

Just like I don't listen to podcasts, I can't imagine sitting around listening to people talk about things with no visuals. I'm not even sure when I would slot that into my day, even if I wanted to.
Does it start with not actively promoting the use of private jet ? and not using private jet himself ?
It's weird this article talks so much about podcasts but doesn't mention Patreon. It's a major, often primary, source of revenue for the most interesting podcasts I listen to.
I think the most important thing I've got from that graphic is to choose your partner very well, being careful of how they will keep you company in the very long term.
For some reason the thought that I will never be as productive as himself brings me peace. Huge respect. I remember looking at his entry in 2002 like it was yesterday, that was a pleasurable mind fk.
We have a sort of dumb zoning already, which is a thermostat on the first floor, but it only allows the first to opt out of whatever heating or cooling is happening in the rest of the house. This is never something we want to do.

Before COVID were were shopping to upgrade, so we're not going to put any more upgrade money into this house, but if we were going to stay I'd absolutely make changes in this.
Yeah, when making the decision it was quite harrowing to think of maintaining a cluster in production. Nomad had very little operational complexity compared to what we imagined.

We've had two main outages in months:

- Server disks were filling up and we hadn't set up monitoring properly at the time (ironic for the name of our company :) ). Not Nomad's fault.

- A faulty healthcheck caused all the servers of a cluster to restart at the same time, which caused complete loss of the cluster state (so all the jobs were gone. I like to call it a collective amnesia of the servers).

We're still looking for a good/reliable logging and tracing solution though. Nomad has a great dashboard, but only with basic logging, and it only gets you so far.

Overall, would recommend again!
That trial was essentially blind? You couldn't tell which was the white, and which the red. Because they were both the same color.

This comes off as the famous (apocryphal) patent quote from around 1900. "Everything that can be invented has been invented"

I think a lot of people (myself included) think there are lots of potential benefits to a smart house. I don't think we're there yet. Most of what exists now isn't very user friendly, and most don't have easy setups so the things that are out now are unlikely to have huge hockey stick growth.

However, that doesn't mean their are no benefits, and it doesn't mean the industry as a whole won't see large growth in the future. Google and Apple are both investing somewhat heavily in the area, along with a huge host of startups. Clearly there are people who think there are possibilities in the space.

As a small list of examples for myself:
1. nest is obvious

2. locks are key feature for me. if i can have my door unlock when i get to it with my phone or watch or whatever that is a win.

2.b. remotely unlocking things could also be nice, if i'm meeting someone and they get there just ahead of me. Alternately giving friends temporary access if they are staying for a weekend.

3. garage doors, see 2 and 2b.

4. remote control blinds (perhaps a bit more than is necessary, but i could see it being nice in my bedroom

5. lights, having them come on in the room i'm coming into with my auto-unlocking door, so i don't have to fumble with them when my hands are full of groceries.

without trying, off the top of my head i came up with 5 things i'd like to have in the next house i build. I suspect Apple and Google and the startups working the area for a few years might come up with 1 or two more that turn out to be really awesome.
Exactly. Not just that, acquiring the talent is one thing. Providing the culture & resources for them to succeed over a long period of time? That's special & why most M&A activity results in a neutral or even negative result.

> Not one of those other papers dug into the content (or understood it) enough to question it, and/or raise the alarm bells.

Quite the opposite, the article itself found out that many of them did question it (and quotes three such researchers), however, "raising the alarm bells" and disputing such claims requires exceptional diligence (more than the original article did) and lots of thankless work (like Nick Brown and his two collaborators did) that's not likely to be rewarded (you'd be lucky if you can even get it published in an appropriate venue); so they quite reasonably went on with their own research agendas instead of letting their actual work languish while doing a debunking campaign.
When I fly in 2 months I will have have to choose between having naked pictures taken of my children, or having them groped. I understand that statement is bit hyperbolic, but it doesn't make the options any less shitty.

The airport we use currently has X-ray machines instead of the millimeter wave scanners, so I will probably have to choose the groping. Here is what I'm expecting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80JAcQ8WOP8
The benefits you get are equanimity, and concentrated attention. In sports it's called being "in the zone". It's a state of mind where you are fully present and time slows down. Others call it "flow." Now imagine if you could direct that type of concentrated attention to any activity that you desire whether its hacking, sports, or writing.
a) What I said ;-)

b/c) My point is that if you give a range, companies will tend to offer towards the lower end of that range. It doesn't matter how many years experience you have or what you change the range dates to. If you are going to give a range, you are essentially giving a low end that you will accept. Many companies will take advantage of that.

Thanks. Yes, we are discussing the term "network" between ourselves currently since its quite a prominent issue in the feedback. We are also discussing the home page layout/functionality in terms of the three icons.
Agreed, within 10 seconds I don't understand what the value is. If there were an example/screenshot/video explaining things I would be more willing to stay and check it out as a potential user.
