The stigma around what an addict looks like is something that needs to be shattered. I really like the ad. Scare tactics are stupid and hurtful. They destroy the debate and vilify people that need care. People take drugs for reasons. People use meth to get some pep to hang drywall to feed their kids or study for college to get a better life. Sometimes that spirals way out of control but also sometimes people are lifetime addicts with deep private problems and nearly no one knows what they are struggling with. It's never popular to say, but there are people out there that use hard drugs and do not have regrettable experiences and maintain a happy life with them. We will never have a count of them because it's not like they can self report easily. All of our statistics are from people who have medical or legal complications.

Many years ago I was a low voltage / home theater technician. One of my favorite customers was a 70 year old retired gentleman who didn't seem to be aware that he was an obvious junkie. He had been on large amounts of oxycontin after a back surgery years before. I grew up around heroin junkies and it was plain as day to me. Him and his wife were the nicest people and would frequently ask me to stay for dinner. He would sometimes get the nods at the table and have to retreat to the sofa. He had a huge "junkie sweet tooth" and liked to create sweet snacks while stoned. He would come in glassy-eyed while I would be wedged under a desk running wires and offer me red vines and talk about his snack ideas and show me pictures of his grandkids. One of the best was ritz cracker peanut butter sandwiches dipped in chocolate and frozen. Highly recommend. You could tell that they were kind people who had never lived a life where drug usage was normal. He loved college football and was sort of an archivist of the history of different stadiums. They had adult children that were happy and productive. I would bet money neither he or his wife had ever smoked weed or even had more than a handful of regrettable hangovers. I felt so sad knowing what they are going through every day and the inevitable results of his addiction.

A lot of times intense drug usage follows traumatic events in people's lives and resolves itself nearly silently in about 5 years[0]. We all have most likely have a few people in our lives struggling silently because of stigma. Living a dual life because of the sort or rhetoric put out by DARE or Faces of Meth. Suffering silently increases anxiety and amplifies dependance. "Meth. We're on it." is a much needed take on how to tackle the issue in public discourse.

Drug dependance is not a moral failing. It can happen to you. Addicts need love and understanding and it's our duty as fellow humans to provide it.

An increase in embedded generation is the same as a decrease in load to the system. So turning a heater off is akin to “pushing power in to the system”, unless the embedded generation is larger than the load on a feeder, in which case the direction of power flow would be reversed, which may or may not cause problems depending on the protection settings at the substation.

The peak system load and generation on the Western North American grid is 167,000 MW. There is so much inertia there a 10kW power wall isn’t going to do anything.
Totally serious. There are about a dozen people who regularly do this. One guy has missed 4-5 job interviews.
I'm biased, from my own literature review I gathered that one could strengthen their intuitive signal via meditation, which is basically feeling your body (not only your gut though).

Intuitive feelings that I acted on were all body-related in my experience. In most cases, these intuitive feelings always had to do with assessing who another person is. My intuition about that seems to be pretty accurate.

I think there's a lot more happening in your body than you might realize. I've noticed that myself by practicing mindfulness. However, I don't think it rules out your idea that some intuitions are purely mental.

By the way the word emotion is a tough one, as I believe there is always a bodily component part to an emotion. I subscribe to the James-Lange theory [1] and the appraisal theory. In part, because I experience emotions in those ways before I even knew about the names and knew that these theories existed.

In short how I view emotions is process-based:

- An event occurs (thought, feeling, someone talks to you)

- This automatically gets processed by you whether you want it or not (though when it's automatic, obviously you're not using your full cognitive resources on it)

- This automatic processing concludes into two things:

1. You get thoughts about it

2. You get feelings about it (feelings in your body)

Note: thoughts and feelings are immediately re-triggering this process. So it gets meta pretty quick as you can have feelings about feelings about thoughts about feelings about <mix_and_match_as_long_as_you'd_like>

During my meditation retreat I realized that feelings come slightly earlier than thoughts. At least that's how I experienced it and I happened to be laser focused on observing my feelings and thoughts.

Coincidentally, that's also why I believe I have no free will as my feelings give rise to my thoughts, even when I simply observe my feelings. I don't choose that these feelings give rise to thoughts (and there were times where I really didn't want them to give rise to thoughts), therefore there's no free will. But that's another story :D

[1] There's probably a more advanced theory of this one as it is pretty old. For practical purposes, this theory was good enough for my understanding on what emotions are.
How is a camera going to have visibility into determining whether the second hand is doing or not doing sanctioned actions?
Service-based businesses are notoriously difficult to scale. I certainly make more on my own after a decade than I did when I had employees.
Families who hold cultural values that are antipodal to our own, which tend to abhor slavery in all of its forms. If their lives are ruined, it is because they are flagrantly disobeying laws on immigration and human trafficking.

By the same argument, imprisoning the criminal mastermind of an organized crime family is also ruining the lives of more than one family. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. In the US, and in Europe, forced marriages, involuntary servitude, and other curtailments of free will and self determination are considered immoral, and in most places are also illegal. If the families wished to continue living by exclusively Pakistani cultural values, perhaps they shouldn't be trying to control women like chattel property in Spain and the US.

WTF sergiotapia?

They can avoid having their lives ruined merely by not acting like misogynist thugs amidst teeming hordes of people that believe in gender equality.
That's a great story, I'm on the same steps right now with my own business.

I'm curious about what you are doing right now, I'd appreciate an update.
Honest question: how numerous are such people?

On that note, is being content a skill most can learn with effort or does it have significant biological prerequisites (genetics, prenatal environment, etc)?

I'd appreciate links to studies on the matter.
Could you just do a traceroute to the mail server, then calculate the distance between each hop. Estimating the distance with a GeoIP database.
Would explain a lot if so. Any developer you can get for that rate who has been working for 10 years likely does not have 10 years of experience, but 1 year of experience repeated 10 times.
This is a tool we built to use internally and are spinning off. We did the same with InVision App a while back.

Rebump works with Gmail on Chrome/Firefox for now.

Feedback treasured.
Scary in what sense? Could you elaborate whether you are talking in terms of security, backdoors etc. or just buggy badly organized code?
They gave them 90 days to publish a fix.

> Add JIT and you use more battery.

That's not entirely correct: the JIT will generate some CPU overhead (and usually quite a bit of memory overhead, probably one of the reasons why Google redefined the baseline at 512MB), but when it does kick in it should generate more efficient code leading to either lower levels of CPU or shorter CPU burst, allowing the CPU to go back to idling faster.

Therefore I'd say on average the JIT should either be neutral or should improve battery life a bit, when loading the CPU.
>> The field doesn't encompass the whole room or anything.

>Well, technically it encompasses the entire universe - or least the part that is in the light cone since the field was energized. :)

As permittivity is generally a function of frequency doesn't this mean that the progress of a magnetic field through space can differ to that of a [theoretical] light cone (which bounds the volume of causal connectedness)?

Magnetism gives me headaches.
I agree it's a stretch demonstrating the absurdity of the NYT demand. Safari for OSX is a commercial product because it comes bundled with OSX and there is no other way to get a Safari to run on a Mac without buying OSX. In the case of Safari 5, you have even would have to buy 10.5 or 10.6.

Safari for Windows is just an attempt to get Windows web developers to test against Safari. No Windows user I know of uses Safari as the main browser.
I'm a writer and an iPhone dev, and I found the original version of this to be very useful, so I worked with Andrew to build a version for iPhone. I'd love to hear feedback from HN folks about this app, and any tips to help promote it.

Great! I still use ActiveRecord a lot for legacy Rails apps, but I prefer Datamapper now, partly because it supports MongoDB and mixed relational database and MongoDB backends.
Is there some epidemic of calling self-employed people and freelancers "unemployed" that I am not aware of?
>I've never understood the argument that capping data plans will improve the "experience" for the non-heavy users.

It isn't a difficult concept. A very small number of people contribute significantly to the network load. Yeah, ideally there's more capacity than anyone can ever use, but back here in reality that would be remarkably expensive to fulfill.

It's the same thing with crime, btw: A very, very small percentage of people are responsible for the overwhelming bulk of crime.
False dichotomy. There's no reason different people can't tackle both at the same time.
If the software crashes, can i get cash back from the developer?
"a safe bet would be to standardize on Github's flavour and call it a day." - yes, definitely. That's precisely what I'm doing in SageMathCloud.
It seems like you're stuck on the automaton aspect. Would not remote control robots decrease the number of firefighters necessary? If each building came equipped with remotely operated firefighting drones, response time would improve by orders of magnitude.

The same for car accident incidents: would a precisely controlled remote robot not be able to more aptly apply the jaws of life, especially in situations dangerous for a first responder?

Of course there are a bevy of situations where first responders are still absolutely necessary. But other things also work in tandem to improve the outcome: like civilian operated defibrillators. One could also interpret the 17% as "17% more effective, through automation, per person employed." This would, as a ratio of field employed to population, look less like jobs lost and more like additional jobs unnecessary.
Of course it's useful, and that argument is pretty compelling.

But what you need to consider is not responsible use of the collected data, but the flipside, irresponsible, illegal use of the data by individuals who have access.
If that's not a reminder of fleeting importance.
I'm surprised they didn't use Vimeo in the first place. The orginal YouTube posting had comments disabled, as you and I can both imagine what the thread would have quickly turned into. I can't see that being necessary at Vimeo.
I think you mean you're 80th percentile (better than the bottom 80%, or 80% below you and 20% above you).
Yep, says 8am to me, from England. So whatever localization they're doing, it's quite badly broken - aren't you supposed to be 2 hrs ahead of me?
For a long time, the stickers they used on the 3.5 floppies would peal off perfectly. No sticker residue at all.
Not necessarily, depends on how Twitter indexes images and if they OCR them to attach meta data. But I guess this would be a good reason for them not to.

This new "bitter" meme that started some time last year is the latest way that people use to discredit dissenters even more.

There is anger, righteous anger, biblical fury, disappointment, inner emigration, reacting strongly while actually being amused, reacting strongly while not caring and about 50 more shades of underlying feelings.

"bitter" is appropriate for the feeling when a spouse cheats after 20 years of marriage and it actually affects you.

"bitter" as currently used on the internet is just propaganda that tries to inflict maximum damage on dissenters. It often comes from corporate-adjacent developers.
The best lecturer I had in maths would screw up the proofs every time from memory, but the way he screwed them up taught me a lot more than if he'd gotten them right.
This is similar to how Qualcomm's DNS servers got knocked off the air. An OEM shipped an update which would query a development TURN server we were running - once per connection, over millions of devices. It was a crazy day.
You're missing the fact that the plastic was already there.

As another poster mentioned - in Kenya, waste plastic is commonly burned on the side of a road. Turning it into bricks is an improvement on this.

As a materials engineer, I'm sure she has the UV aspect worked out.
Win+Print automatically saves a screenshot to the "Pictures\Screenshots" folder by the way.
This looks very similar to the Android eco system suffering from fragmentation. It has become impossible to ensure updates across OEMs and this could be affecting some of the feature work - in the name of compatibility.

With Apple owning the spec and implementation and with no fragmentation, they can move very fast.

As long as there is no authority to mandate certain communication protocols (messaging, email, video) during certification, unified messaging unfortunately will remain a dream.
What’s the typical uptime for a Windows machine in daily use? On MacOS that’s usually in a few months scale because that’s how often an update that needs a restart is released. I usually have 5-10 workspaces, and despite that macOS will restore most of it after a restart, I still feel unease restarting.

My main issue with Window was that it required quite a lot involvement into the upkeep of the machine, like frequent restarts due to OS and driver updates. Is that a thing of the past now?
I've wanted this feature for awhile, too.

One workaround for this is to remind yourself about apps of interest by taking a screenshot (pressing top button and home button at the same time) and looking over your photos later when you sync with iTunes. Unfortunately, this workaround applies more to app users than app developers.
There is no quote, its a rumor - according to Gates anyhow. He claims he never said that.

I know, my surname is incredibly distinctive.

To anybody who's vaguely knowledgeable about these things, it not only points out my nationality, but also which region of India I belong to, my religion, and also my caste[0].

[0] Not that I pay attention to caste, but as you can see, Indian surnames contain a lot if information, to anybody even remotely trained in reading them.
I'm Canadian, Indian heritage, and I practice Hinduism. Based on Aditya's article, I feel like we're probably similar with respect to our "religiousness".

What happened to him is horrendous, and scary. I'm currently living in Palo Alto for work, but every time I travel to and from the USA, I'm always in fear. That said, I have never had an issue; mind you, I've never made the explosives detector beep. I always elect for the pat down too.

While the TSA employees aren't always the friendliest, I haven't had any memorable run-ins with them. On the contrary, they've been actually nice at times. It helps that I always travel clean shaven, and speak to everyone as politely as any Canadian can. :-)

As a counterpoint, the only instance of racial profiling that I encountered while flying was actually in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Canada. I was traveling with some colleagues back to Toronto; they were Caucasian, and I was the only non-Caucasian. The security agent at the airport decided to "randomly" select me for explosives screening. She was the lone agent, and it's a tiny airport. No one before or after me was "randomly" screened. No one else was non-Caucasian.

I'm not saying that security agents should be fearful of choosing a non-Caucasian for random screening, lest they be accused of profiling or racism. I'm saying that random screenings should actually be random. Also, I can't verify this hypothesis myself since I sucked at probability theory, but I'm pretty sure that only selecting 1 person out of 250+ passengers traveling through the airport is an insufficient sample size for actually detecting a person who may be carrying explosives; you should probably be randomly selecting more people.

TL;DR - USA yay, Canada nay!
I have a friend who writes down license plates on his bicycle commute, and phones them in to the cops regularly. This app is no different from that. You should have no expectation of anonymity when driving a multi-ton vehicle on public property at speeds that can kill people.
This is interesting I have my tabs placed to the left and it works fine. When the tabs are placed at the top however they cannot be clicked on from the edge of the screen. Placing the tabs on the left has always made sense to me since most websites are designed for resolutions that are far smaller than 1920 pixels. The real real estate is the vertical space. Placing the tabs on the left also allows me to have a small preview of the page without waiting for the mouse over. I understand this solution is not for everyone.

Opera seems to listen to the community relatively closely so hopefully these two issues can be solved in a future patch (or maybe even an extension).

Since the "it's not free but..." angle has already been played I'll add to kqr2's question...

Where are the best free places to migrate all of your Delicious bookmarks?

------EDIT---

OK, at a minimum you can go here: https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export and download your entire collection (importantly... with tags). This will at least preserve your content and, since I think many of us on HN are of the technical sort, permit you to scrape the data at your leisure. You get a massive (well, in my case) definition list of elements with the following included as attributes on the item's anchor tag: the url, the add date (ADD_DATE=) the private status of the link (PRIVATE=) and the tags (TAGS=). You also get a text description. Very nice!

what's wrong with rejecting no characters and using escaping/encoding to avoid injection problems etc? that catches every possible edge case - even the ones I don't know yet.

the hard problem is validating the data - but you don't actually have to do it.

Honest question, because I'm a recent DDG convert (and I'm not exactly an "early adopter" of anything) ... what do you think of its search results for this?

A DDG search of "camera reviews" gave http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ for its top hit, and the site actually seems pretty useful to me.
Personally I don't think it's any better than those you can find with your first Google search, and I certainly don't think it's worth submitting again and again. But that's just my opinion - by all means downvote me just because you disagree.
Exactly, and this is clearly an example of consumers (us) benefiting from their competition.

This is why I only follow enough people to fill up my the front page of my feed once every day or so. I understand that some people use twitter in a different way, and follow hundreds of people, but I could never be one of them; of course this also means I've had to unfollow a bunch of people who tweet more than a few times a day.

Check back w/ us in a few months, especially if you get brain fog, pain/weakness/numbness/cold arms/feet/hands, pain all over the body, or daily uncontrollable fatigue that just hits you out of nowhere and lasts for hours.

Hint: When you get to that point: b6, b12, D, b3 vitamins + l-tyrosine, taurine, l-theanine, h1/h2 antihistamines (zyrtec/pepcid), and vyvanse (ADHD meds), makes me maybe 75% of normal 90% of the week.

I usually need one day though where I drop the energy shot, and vyvanse and just sleep all day to recoup.

As for depression/anxiety/brain fog those are still random, and I can't seem to account for why/how they come and if there's anything that alleviates them. I'm trying more supplements, it could be related to the insomnia at night though, so I may be trying some night-time sleep herbs like valerian root, etc.

I did try SSRI's and hell no, will I ever take one of those again. I was constantly "wanting" but unable to "perform" my "husbandly duties". That alone will fuck up your mental attitude and make you anxious and depressed.
