Awesome. Not because I haven't read similar stuff before, but because it's a plan that considers that I can not make radical lifestyle changes that endanger my business (e.g., not read or look at a monitor at night).

I thought once I had paid my dues, done the all-nighters, and succeeded that I wouldn't fall back into the grips of insomnia. Now, almost a decade and a new venture later, I'm back at it. I've seen 4:30 AM for many consecutive months. It doesn't feel as easy as it used to, and I'm beginning to think that it's really not healthy.

I notice that I'm often tired and ready to sleep around 9:00 PM. If I find myself in a dark place (movie date or something), I'll pass out. Quite embarrassing. But once I'm "over the hump" I'm good for another 8 hours or so.
That's why it's important to know about 83b election to cap the tax rate at 15%. Any start-up lawyer/law firm worth its salt would do this for you as part of the pile of forms to sign when you incorporate.
Here taking melatonin is listed as one of the tips how to improve your short term memory: http://www.progressivehealth.com/short-term-memory.asp

And here are some google answer from 2007 listing researches on possible adverse effects of melatonin: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=284734
Any interesting ways to "short" higher education tuitions?
There's a reason why his tenure at the Federal Reserve spelled the end of inflative 70s. One of the smarter things Jimmy Carter did.

We suffered a severe recession because of his tightening of rates, but it set the ship right.

And here we are suffering a severe recession and all we've done is avoid dealing with the real issues.
A few questions:

1. Given the laws of physics, could you derive your morality?
2. If we didn't exist, and in our place were an alien species that, say, ate their babies[1], would that make the universe contain less utility as a whole?

[1] The same story I linked to above: http://lesswrong.com/lw/y4/three_worlds_collide_08/. Who is in the right? Do we have the "moral imperative" to destroy the baby-eaters? Do the third species have a moral imperative to destroy us?
It was scary reading that Wikipedia page. It was like it was written for me. I have been like this since middle school and always wondered if there was a proper name for it other than insomnia.
I'm not recommending that companies do this to figure out how to acquire customers.

I'm saying a person should do this to help determine whether an idea is worth pursuing.
The hero here is Manning, who will probably spend the rest of his life in prison, declared a non-person, tortured and deprived of rights even regular prisoners get.
does this use websocket?
Cool, I suppose. However, it doesn't really seem to matter that the wifi hotspot used to be / still is a telephone booth. They could've put the router on anything and achieved the same effect.
tl; dr

"Polar bears are interbreeding with grizzlies because their habitat is disappearing. This is tragic and the new bears are doomed because they are poorly adapted to polar bear habitat. This wouldn't be so bad if humans weren't at fault."
Understood, I was referring to their effectual announcement of defeat by dropping any Yahoo search technology in place of BING.

Sure, they have and had technology - yet their utter failure in vision and management has resulted in them losing an understanding / ability to use their tech.
I have already started programming, it is just that all the problem sets I have solved were easy enough that I could get to coding right away, and when I couldn't I just thought I was dumb
Google and HP did recently provide new servers for kernel.org: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/11/objects-in-mir...
More or less. It's a django in-joke.
I believe at that time, Linux only ran on x86.
Probably all of them, to make eavesdropping easier.
I'd bet it's more the "7" effect. When asked to pick a number between 1 and 10, 7 is picked more often than other numbers. Someone below mentioned that magicians often exploit this for their tricks.

I'm guessing people think of 7 first, since people are used to choosing between one and ten. Then, on reflection, they choose 17 instead since they want to have used the whole range of options.
For some it's interesting, that's all.

Most of what I once knew about finance I've forgotten. 20 years ago, just out of college I read a great book: Marcia(?) Stigum, The Money Market and it really opened my eyes to how banks and investments worked -- at least back then! I spent the next year or so interested in Finance but then gradually lost interest.

Money and Finance are important to entrepreneurship, so it's not surprising that there are a lot of knowledgeable people around here. But one nice thing about HN is that you could probably ask a question about just about anything technically interesting in any field and get a bunch of good, informed answers from people with real knowledge of the domain :-)
If I install Ubuntu today (and probably other Linux distros) I get the option to do a RDP connection to apps or a desktop on a Windows server.

How is this different?
I have the suspicion that you have no idea what you are talking about and people are upvoting you for using landau-notation.
I looked at the BBC video embedded there. I noticed the DELL logos. It makes me wonder how the DELL logo is explained to the students who encounter it. Are they told DELL is a Korean company? Do they wonder why they don't see that hardware elsewhere?
Have you checked Craiglist for "room for rent" ads? Maybe you could find one and negotiate a deal for the short time you'll be around. You might offer to clean the room and take a bunch of good pics of it and post a better CL add when you leave to help them find someone for a longer term.
The hostel up near Hidden Villa is pretty nice, and you can often times pick up a ride with some of the volunteers who work there.

That and there's some awesome kittens running around right about now.
This is to be expected, it's part and parcel of capitalism. If you have an audience, you will eventually feel the pressure to sell something to them while the iron is hot, as maintaining an audience is work after all.

It's the same as Youtubers pitching phone skins and makeup brands. Or bloggers pitching their books or filling their posts with affiliate links?
> My problem is that all these networks are proprietary and isolated. When someone comes up with a really bad idea in their UI, you're SOL until they decide to fix it.

Tons of people said this early on, but the people who make decisions for team tooling/workflows apparently didn't think that was as important. Symptomatic of the disconnect between what most engineers think of as "quality" versus others.
If stabilizers were not important, one would be able to lift exactly the same free weight as you do on a machine (after practicing form with light weight under supervision for a while). Is that true?
Things that matter to you, as with anything else, do not matter by themselves.

Things are. Their value is determined by a mind. Only God's mind can determine the value of a thing. Whether God exists or not, the statement stands.

Because, we do not know all the consequences an action but God knows. By your own set of values, by some twist of fate, what you are doing could be counter-productive.
Not a fair comparison, actually, when you browse the Netflix catalog you can only find a certain amount of titles, let's say 200-400 hundred movies/series.

This shows better if you use the numbered categories. Not much ago, I went to browse something like "scifi/terror" and just found maybe 16 movies. Other categories offered similar quite reduced catalog.

I'm not in US, but I suspect many customers around the world are looking Disney+ to add a service/more options (and many are already paying at least for two streams).
The Wealth of Nations was published in 1776, 57 years before Alfred Nobel was born. He was aware of the field of economics and didn't think it was worthy of a prize.

Fields such as mathematics and philosophy were also around in Nobel's time and he didn't think they were worthy of a prize either. The difference is those fields aren't associated with an organization that literally prints money to buy their way in.
Does it bother you that the same could have been said in defense of the actual Nazi party?
I dont understand this argument that political advertising should be broad target only.

TV is often used as an example, but you can target cable to the individual/house, just like online ads.

A huge percent of political speech is individually targeted (phone calls, door knocks, mail, digital, addressable tv). Campaigns and bad actors have been doing deceptive or flat out lying campaigns forever (before the internet). Google 'McCain Bush child robocall' or 'push poll' as simple examples.

Edit: For reference I work in digital politics, my agency buys & creates digital advertising.
how do you get data? do I have to give you access or you are using yodlee?
I've found that if you have authoritative addressing data for your target market(s), a search/autocomplete field is a great alternative to the multi-field form being talked about in this discussion. Having access to that sort of data is, of course, a pretty big caveat as much of it is currently proprietary but efforts are being made globally to address (couldn't resist!) this (e.g. http://openaddresses.io, http://alpha.openaddressesuk.org).
Did I miss something, or is RAM price somehow related to battery life?

Edit: your response has literally nothing to do with the parent comment or my comment, so I'm not even going to engage with you on this.
I love how the LinkedIn profile says “Interested in blockchain technology”. Ya don’t say…
Yes, the pieces here are highly nontrivial in shape, as discussed in the article. But more well-behaved than in earlier results.
All I can say is that my serious critics don't think I'm keyword matching.
Of course its possible to capture a users screen as soon they visit a page. Check mouseflow or gamooga secondscreen
I would say not disclosing something that's clearly a potential conflict of interest is scandalous. That Devin, a writer for TechCrunch disagrees is... interesting. Illustrative.
It will still send the interrupt signal to the running application when no text is selected.
My claim is not that C is just as safe as Scala, my claim is that the comparison is only valid if you do not think too hard about it. If you implicitly assume some web app, not too experienced programmers and a typical budget, then Scala is less likely to contain remote code execution bugs. But if you worry about timing attacks, then it looks a lot better for C.
I very nearly entered my creds just by instinct it looks truly legit, just so you know now chrome stops you from going there (you need to admit to being an idiot before you can move forward)
> Was the project successful?

As a business? No. As a hack? It was compatible with quite a bit of software and with syn68k on a Pentium whatever of the time, it was faster than any Mac.
I think that's pretty easy to explain. The change of state in your brain modulates the thing that it both creates and controls (consciousness) state to "feel" pain.

Consciousness is a emergent property of the incredible complex organ we call a brain. At first it may seem too odd to think that something as incredibly surreal and deep as consciousness can spring forth some arrangement of atoms, atoms identical to those make up the inanimate objects around us, it because less weird when you think about a car just being made up of nuts, bolts, and a bunch of metal, or a space shuttle out of ceramic, composites and what have you. Computers are just made up of transistors, capacitors and the like, and have tremendous capabilities.

Humans are just the most extreme example we have of this phenomenon of complexity through composition, but that makes a certain kind of sense as humans are the product of billions of years of evolution. We've only been seriously studying consciousness for a good hundred years or so (people have thought about it for quite some time, but I think it's fair to say no clear progress was made on the subject until the 20th century).
So why can't anyone else do this? Having to go through a large number of services to change my card details because I once used it Target was annoying. And then not too much later again because I used the new one at Home Depot was annoying.

(For people outside the US, both Target and later Home Depot got hacked. Many banks proactively replaced their customer cards if they had transactions at those stores, which meant new numbers, expiry and CVC even if no fraud occurred on the card.)
Forth is sort of live image like Smalltalk, and great for designing languages/DSLs in like Lisp which is also homoiconic.
With regards to the startup in question: it's not actually a messaging product as stated in TFA, is it? It seems just like something where you paste in an IM conversation and the app formats it nicely.
Clicking on it still has the effect of awarding an upvote. You just can't see the totals any more.
I am actually terrified about home remedies regular people provide without deep understanding of human physiology and medicine.

Please refrain from providing advice to people if you're not in the position to do so unless you're a medical doctor. It sounds good hearted but this is exactly the kind of things we shouldn't be perpetuating. You can cause inadvertent loss of life in worst case.

My parents are forwarding all kinds of shit from social media from fake vaccine news to completely insane home remedies such as going to a sauna when you have fever to "kill the virus". I am not suggesting you're doing this, but just to illustrate extreme case of misinformation.
Couple things 3M is 1 out of 100. Also, if we do nothing were talking and surge past hospital capacity we're probably looking at 1 out 10 or 15(reference the numbers referenced at the top of the article).
Also thinking of buying some downside $SPY PUT protection. How far out in terms of expiration are you thinking?
Do you have a photo? I'm not sure I understand what the case looks like.
Research had now shown that you do develop immunity once infected and recovered.

For this to have not been the case it would have been a very novel strain of covid indeed.
More personal anecdata:
I got pneumonia three years back. A couple of weeks beforehand I'd run a 12km that I'd trained for over the three months prior. Once cleared of pneumonia (after another couple of weeks) I was puffing just walking 100 metres.

And apparently, once you've had pneumonia, you're more susceptible to get it again.

Something that didn't particularly help in my case was that I was prescribed an antibiotic that helps against "most" pneumonia causing bugs, but my pneumonia was actually caused by one of the less common bugs. Once put on the right antibiotic I felt much better within a day - after making no progress for two to three days on the original one.

Pneumonia is no joke.
I am from Europe so it seems a little weird to me - is donating blood your right in the USA?
Thanks! That is really cool and I appreciate you sharing it!

FYI I tried clicking on "Slides" but got a 404 error, so thought I'd flag in case you know the authors.
In physics we have two (smaller?) areas that are ripe for some real progress: Optics, electronics.

Electronics: The memristor. Though it seems that the HP breakthrough was a bit premature, the promise of a solid-state memristor would allow for very energy efficient computation. Think top-of-the-line modern GPUs that can run off a small solar cell or watch battery. The actual physics of such circuits may have some fun things hidden in them. I think it'll really change how we use computers.

Optics: As our manufacturing revolution reaches out of semi-conductors and into more difficult materials, we're seeing cheap and interesting optics happen. I'm not sure where it's going, but grads are 'playing' more in the lab with cheaper stuff, allowing for kismet to happen faster. Especially as bio becomes 'thirstier' for optics, as there is a LOT of money there from disease research.

Though these aren't re-writing the fundamental laws, they are looking to have real impact on human life, and not in ways that are just making things more efficient (though there is a lot of that too).
Yes - I'm not concerned about the low risk, it's treat for me and my quarantined family, and I want to support our economy (especially local establishments). We ordered takeout three times this week.

I don't normally tip for takeout, but I've changed that behavior this past week while restaurants and their employees are hurting. I'd encourage others with a stable income to consider doing the same!
Someone care to elaborate on technology? Obviously it must be sticking some remote content in there somehow eh?
Sorry, I should have been clearer.

I was trying to say that convergence in area for two-dimensional surfaces in R^3 requires convergence in normals in the same way that convergence in length for one-dimensional curves in R^2 requires convergence in normals.

For area in R^2, volume in R^3, and so on, you're definitely right.
Agreed that the other photo is dodgy, but there's not actually that much difference between it and yours. North Korea at night is largely dark, either way.
Is that photo generated from the WOPR?
Love it! visuals are nice but can be improved. wooden board, 3D pieces etc.

Before matching players in a random game, ask for a level like novice, intermediate and pro.

I like the chess roulette idea...
I don't know enough here to say anything definitively, but I think knowing there's a conflict is half the battle. UTC timestamps are great but clocks have to be perfectly in sync which is unlikely even w/ NTP. And as you mentioned doesn't withstand users changing their system time.

Sometimes bubbling conflict resolution up to the user is a good idea. It's preferable to data loss.
I'm working on an ad network for the second time in 2 years. The key in my opinion has been around sales, assuming you're a premium network.

It took me 2 years to understand the sales process and to make the right connections at brands and agencies to make it work. YMMV.
Are you holding back something that seems too obvious to share?

Well, yes and no. My problem is that other people find it so "amazing" it moves it into "incredulous"/incredible...ie "I don't believe you and think you are lying" territory. :-/ Still working on figuring out how to talk about my ideas without going down in flames, being called names, yadda yadda. Phooey.

(And, yes, I still think some of it is terribly obvious and is based in part on things that are "common knowledge", so I remain somewhat baffled by the strong reactions.)
"Jobs did great harm to the world with his iThings: computers designed to be jails for their users. His genius was to find the way to make these jails desirable so that millions would clamor to be locked up." —Richard Stallman
I use an alternative layout and I never switched my keys around. You should never be looking at the keyboard while you type, even while learning a new layout.
to be fair, you definitely seem to have some personal prescriptive definition that the rest of the world may not be sharing at this moment
Well in this situation, the hypothetical "you" are held accountable for your choice of automated car. Evaluating which programming group to trust seems like plenty of responsibility to me.

Just like every investor is fully aware of all variables when picking a stock, thus fully accountable in case of said stock's crash, correct?

I'd agree with the parent commenter: the car company would be responsible, financially. Legally, they would have to recall or disable all instances until a fix is pushed.

Human life, in this case, will get a price tag, instead of a (jail) time value, as is mostly the case today.
A large part of the current GOP (and to a lesser extent Dem) platform is built on the idea that government cannot under any circumstances (except defense, because magic) do anything successfully. How can there be successful reform when so many political careers are now based on this assumption? Success has become failure, I am not hopeful.
I’d rather keep my Facebook groups and have Facebook manually quarantine misinformation groups and pages instead, in a way similar to how Reddit does it.

I don’t think we should reduce public liberties because some people take advantage of them. I’d rather punish/limit them instead.
Nixon was pardoned by Ford without being charged. But it was more of a symbolic gesture.
That story is inaccurate speculation - it is not possible for the VP to issue orders to the military in any scenario unless the President is dead or has been removed from office. The military would disregard any such orders.

Secdef could issue those orders in POTUS’ name, he likely has the delegated authority to do so, but the VP is not in the chain of command and has no authority.
Yet we allow people to replace almost any part on the car themeselves, with varying grades of quality made by aftermarket or OE manufacturers. Brakes, suspension components, body panels, electical components, etc. purchased from Amazon and made somewhere in China. Once it's in the customer's hands, it seems a lot of those rules go out the window.
It's about double that now.
Thanks for all, dang !
I don't think that will work the way you intend. Direct sunlight is (on average) unpolarized. Polarized lenses only block glare off, for example, the surface of a body of water, because reflection affects polarization. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_reflection). If the design blocks direct sunlight via polarization, it must necessarily block ambient light to a similar degree.
Great attitude. 'I tend to see "cheating" as a symptom that something is wrong in the system, in pedagogy.... As a teacher, my job is to help students learn, not create artificial barriers to learning in the name of equitable grading. Grading should be a strategy for making learning more satisfying by demonstrating accomplishment....

It is my job to satisfy the student, the paying customer, not the other way around. Perhaps cheating is a strategy that students bring to an artificial problem that I have created. Perhaps it is a symptom of my failure to teach.'
I'm not sure what you mean here - is it a camera app to bring stuff into focus or is it a warped screen image to bring your phone into focus? If it's the first one then I don't think the distance from camera to object is a problem - cameras can already focus on arbitrary objects, so you can get a clear image of the target on the phone easily enough. The hard part is from phone to eye, which I'm not sure is even possible? Can you create a distorted image that looks right when viewed from a certain point by someone who's short/long sighted? I suspect you can't do it with today's displays - I think you'd need to be able to emit different images at different angles (since the angle between each pixel and my retina will be different and you don't know in advance where my eye will be relative to the screen).

If your eyes have different prescriptions it's not going to work, but maybe you could set it up for one eye and just close the other (but then maybe it would be easier to hold the phone closer to/further from your face).

I wish I could remember enough about optics to figure this out!
How about red lensed goggles? That'd preserve dark adaptation.

I've thought about this also. The increasingly bright headlights are probably counterproductive in a public safety, tragedy-of-the-commons sense. Your bright lights help you see a little better, but other drivers can see worse, because of your lights.
Sorry guys, we've exceeded our app engine quota. Check back in three hours!
Some have auto-dimming on both side and rear view mirrors.
Big companies let you fail and learn from your mistakes on their dime...which later helps you succeed on your dime!
Well, there's a difference between sharing and publishing though right? In this case, Bradley "leaked" them = illegal. Assange "published" them = freedom of press?
