I work remotely from home, in New York (U.S. Eastern).

My work day on paper is from 9 am until 5 pm.

In actuality, I generally wake up at 9 am or so, shower, eat breakfast and catch up on news until 10 am.

10 am until 1 pm I am productive and "working."

From 1 pm until 2 pm, maybe 2:30 pm I go to the gym (unless it's a rest day) for 45 minutes, then come back home and eat lunch. Then I sign back on.

From 2:30 until 5 pm I am "working" again. If there isn't a pressing need for me to be available I might do a self-debrief of my to-do list and sign off at 4 pm or 4:30 pm. I then leave my office and don't enter it again until work the next day - I completely compartmentalize work life from home life (and respective hours) even though I work remotely.

I've made this sort of schedule very much a priority in my life. I am paid very, very well and it allows me to pursue a comfortable work life balance, health, relationships and other projects outside work. I strictly will not work before 9 am or after 5 pm.

If I need to run errands during the day, I basically just make it known that "I'm afk" for some estimation of time and come back later.

If I receive emails after 5 pm for work, I don't check them until the morning.

I'd estimate I have about 25 hours per week of truly pure, productive work getting accomplished.

I believe most people who can work like this in the software industry should. I have very generous vacation time, but I actually need to focus on scheduling it before the end of the year simply because aside from actual trips I never feel the need to use it.

Combine this with the financial and professional fulfillment this setup gives me and it's basically a dream.

Cool! Reminder to the community OP of this job responsible for this epic tweet on bash history https://twitter.com/michaelhoffman/status/639178145673932800 and thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10162189
> The performance is better and I reckon it's much nicer to write. Unfortunately, the ecosystem isn't there yet.

In my preliminary tinkerings, I'm a bit faster writing Go than Rust. I'm not super comfortable with either language. Rust's compiler is a lot more picky, and there's a learning curve to understand how ownership works. Go is a comparatively simple language (which can be a positive or a negative depending on your ideals and usage cases).

I think Go will probably always be "faster" to write, but Rust will keep you from making certain mistakes that you may have sunk debugging time into later. Hard to say where the time break-even is. I am keeping a close eye on both camps so that I'm equipped to make the call as soon as some of our components at work need something faster than Python.
There's no hash to verify. Bad site preloads a bad script with hash=123. On good site, XSS injects a script src=bad.js hash=123. The browser, makes a request: GET https://good.com/bad.js. BUT! The hash-cache jumps in and says "Wait, this was requested from the script tag with hash=123. I already have that file. No need to send the request over the network." bad.js now executes in the context of good.com.

If the hash-cache wasn't there, then good.com would have returned a 404. There's no hash collision because the request is completely elided (which is a large part of the perf attractiveness).
I think it is fair that any company lives by the rules of a country it wishes to make business in. I don't like the idea that companies whether they be foreign or not set the rules of the game. This is up to politics whether companies like this or not. Therefore, as a European I would welcome any ruling which forbids transfer of personal data outside the realm of the jurisdiction I am living under. This might be uncomfortable for Google or Facebook but I think especially the handling of personal data is more important as whether it is convenient for them to do business here.
Implement basic income and universal healthcare, via taxes. Remove pensions for retirement and unemployment (obsoleted by basic income). With this, and taking into account that a minimum wage is not needed with basic income either, you take away all the overheads of hiring a worker. Want to hire someone to work 1 hour a day for $30? Fine, as long as they agree. You then pay taxes for your earnings, and not for hiring people.
We could try recycling? Dig up dead organisms, turn them into brightly coloured cups, use them once and throw them away to be turned into worm food. What an odd system.

Cars are awesome for light suburbs and rural areas, but they do not scale as density increases. Los Angeles passed this size and density long, long ago. Orange County (basically part of LA unless you live here) is doing so right about now.

I truly do not get the LA car culture thing. I mean... the traffic is so bad you don't even get to really drive there. You just sit there in your car stuck in a traffic jam. People own these expensive sports cars that they can't drive faster than 10mph most of the time. It's a classic example of a tragedy of the commons.

LA is building transit but not enough and not fast enough. It's a truly huge city, both in population and in physical footprint, and to cover it all with useful transit will require decades of build-out.

"The Stone Age came to an end not for a lack of stones and the oil age will end, but not for a lack of oil."

– Ahmed Zaki Yamani (Saudi & OPEC Minister for Oil)

I think oil is just one of those resources that we're never going to have to worry about. We've got two things going for us these days - first, the majority of oil production goes to powering cars which are becoming increasingly efficient, and, second the technology for extracting oil is also becoming more efficient. Fracking techniques right now only recover a small percentage of the actual oil that's in place - as those techniques are optimized, recovery rates will go through the roof.

I think we'll be way past the need for oil, long before we run out of it.
1) I agree - I think this is a regional thing. In the UK, ATMs almost always lock the card in place (typical non-corner-store ones take the entire card into the machine).

2) In the UK, most machines make you take the card out before dispensing the banknotes. Bank-owned (non-corner-shop) ATMs "spit out" the card and beep until you take the card. Only then do they dispense the cash.

3) I don't think many UK card issuers use multiple applications for the same context. That is to say, if you put your card into an ATM, only one application is likely to be compatible with that profile. There may be other applications for travel (ITSO, for example, is a travel card standard built on Global Platform). I think every EMV terminal has support for application selection menus (usually in the form of little buttons along the side of the screen) but they're virtually never used in the UK.

In my experience while travelling, US payment terminals are the most unusual.
I think the real scary question is what happens if we do.

One of the main reasons we use plastics is because they are great barriers against bacteria and other grossness. We wrap food in plastic, put dirty diapers and dog poop in plastic, put garbage in plastic, wrap raw meat in plastic, use plastic for medical equipment. All because it reliably keeps out (or in) the bad stuff.

What happens if there are plastic-eating bacteria all over the world? Imagine what it would feel like if everywhere we currently used plastic we were using uncoated paper instead? What kind of sanitization problems would we be experiencing?

On the one hand food in US is just amazing, because you have so many options (I miss though my home country's food and ingredients). On the other hand though, coffee here is just so so bad and I don't understand why.
The US, UK, etc. are doing this anyways; why not the French? Let the spying race begin.
Consider that if styrofoam cups were banned worldwide, then the cost of bicycle helmets would go down initially and then up later.
In Canada, EMV and NFC rolled out at around the same time -- EMV gets used for big transactions where you want PIN auth, and NFC gets used for low-risk transactions like buying a coffee.

There was definitely a learning curve for figuring out the new terminals at first (some PoSes required both swiping and using the chip), but that only lasted about a year or two.
> But I think we'll also see China engage in the type of limited incursions / occupations like the Russians did in Georgia and Ukraine, and they won't stop until someone starts fighting back.

They've already started, with their claims in the South China Sea, and occupying and building up islands.

True, there hasn't been any shooting, which is better than Russia. But the process looks the same.
I DO have a much larger viz in the works! It lets you cut down by race, year (1999-2013), and a few other metrics. I wanted to put this out first to see how it performs on various devices. Stay tuned!

I come from an academic background. Made this in my PhD:
amass-db.org

But my core passion this days is the project that this viz is hosted at (www.infino.me). I think I can make a much bigger impact with more consumer-facing nonprofit apps than in publishing academic articles.

Well, you seem to have got some pieces that you didn't assembly.

International treaties are toothless. It's not only France that is powerless, everybody is. So, it does not matter what a treaty you get out of this, the US will keep spying on your people.

What France loses with this law is the credibility to create companies that offer "no spying" as a feature. That may be important on the future, or may not. In exchange for that, France is getting the capacity to spy on its own people by entering in agreements with other countries.
In the limit, I think you might reach the Affordable Care Act: a single risk pool for each region, and price variations only on age and smoking status.

Once I used my chip cards in a reader in the US, and was told, "this is a chip card, please insert it into the bottom" so there's definitely a bit that can be set in the magstripe to tell the PoS that a chip should be available in case you clone just the magstripe.
Three Steps to Reduce Impact When Delivering Bad News to Your Users

Doubtful, he has his own programming language explicitly because of Rust forcing the user to do it 'the rust way' with boxed types etc. he doesn't want to be pigeonholed. It's not going to appeal to people like him, and I think the OP is getting into some good reasons on why Rust probably wont ever be a good language for game programming.
> Except that it did not happen as advertised. Peak oil was advertised as "running out of oil period," not "running out of easy-to-access oil."

That's false. There may have been a few tin foilers who didn't read the source material and thus came away with the wrong scenario, but _peak_ oil by definition has always been about production peaking, based on the cost of extraction.
Also missing TextBlob, which was featured on HN recently on the front page.
This isn't a strong study (only 30 people) but it's a good start and provides the basis for another study (I point this out because frequently people online dismiss studies that have small sample sizes: the point is to provide the basis for more study, not to be finally authoritative).

I believe, but may be wrong here, that the bigger picture here is that the study is saying eating dark chocolate makes people "less diabetic."

For a larger context: there is lot of thinking right now in the nutritional community about how many many things have a similar appearance to diabetes (alzheimer's is one that's getting a lot of attention right now) and we are starting to see a lot of similar problems from different diseases, which are starting to be lumped into the "general metabolic syndrome" category.

So when I say "less diabetic," in this context I mean this study is showing that eating dark chocolate helped improve one of the symptoms of diabetes (and many other things that fall into metabolic syndrome).

The thing I don't like about this study is that it tries to act like dark chocolate is some kind of magic bullet. It's the stuff that Dr. Oz builds his career on. The truth is we don't understand a lot about metabolic syndrome, but we do understand that there are some basic things you can do to improve and they aren't a surprise. Basically: lose weight, eat better foods. It's interesting that dark chocolate may affect this more than other foods, but if you eat like shit and still eat dark chocolate it wont matter. It's a tiny micro-optimization.

I'd guess that the more annoying 3rd party scripts (looking at you, addthis) would simply tell people not to use this attribute as it will "break compatibility and hinder our ability to deploy critical, potentially security impacting, fixes". In fact, if I were a 3rd party script provider, I'd want to make sure people don't do this to my scripts if I haven't "opted in" to keeping compat (i.e. never modifying the content at a URL). In addition to what you say, it'll also happen in reverse: Well-meaning webmasters will add this tag to improve security, then end up with a broken site.

I'd be surprised if 3rd party providers don't start intentionally adding a random byte on each request (or every hour or something) to make sure that webdevs don't take a dependency on the contents of their files.
Seven Keys to Outsourcing Startup Marketing
I agree with you, but I think it is still important to be anxious and raise awareness of these problems. Without the panic, would Y2K have been "recognized as a solvable problem and solved"?
