>>> That's not really how it works though. First "hard" work isn't really relevant at all. Effective work, that's huge.

Oh absolutely, no doubt about that. It's just that people (outside small circles like HN) don't talk about it and is definitely not romanticized as much as hard work.

You work 20-40 hours week, no overtime, and make decent living? Ha you got it easy, shut up now. But look at that struggling poor dude who works 80 hours/wk.

Narrative like this, implying that if you are struggling, etc, then you deserve something automatically is quite common in the mainstream. Maybe it's just a cynic inside me but I got this vibe from an article. But probably that's just me. I'd assume because a large share of population can be categorized as 'struggling' and relate to this narrative, making it popular and safe choice.
Actual title is "Opioids Aware: A resource for patients and healthcare professionals to support prescribing of opioid medicines for pain" but that's 120 chars.
> The World Health Organisation estimates there are 350 million people suffering from depression globally, and that by 2020 it will be the second most widespread disease in the world.

>This is shoddy statistics, but: 350 million people is one quarter of Facebook’s global user base.

Admitting that you're using shoddy statistics doesn't somehow excuse it. You can draw absolutely zero conclusions from those two data.

I never made this assumption.
These sorts of overarching architectures always leave me scratching my head too.
IMHO a combination of a graph layer (eg the two you mentioned) and an scs architecture (scs-architecture.org) allow teams to remain largely independent and productive. That might sound superficially similar to "BFFs" as in "each team owns the client + api", but shifts the responsibility for larger units of work and away from individual microservices (which becomes a huge pain when you start to have dozens of BFFs interfacing with hundreds of microservices maintained by independent teams).
Founder News: Where Do We Stand?
Hence the "call me crazy" :)

However, I feel like all the chatter about Saudi behavior is short term (<5 years). Where are the articles discussing the 10-30 year outlook? It just seems like the oil industry is blissfully ignoring the whole "stranded assets" problem and focusing on short term strategy.
Yes you're absolutely correct, I'm waiting for a referral to a specialist at the moment.

WRT to my examination though: it didn't go beyond having bloods done. There was no other investigation other than, wow your LDL is really high.

My go to source for understanding this stuff is Peter Attia [1], and a few other independent researchers.

Don’t Make These A/B Testing Mistakes That Cost Conversions
Electric cars seem to be a pretty good solution, though the cars of the future will probably be much smaller - right now we pad them a lot with extra metal and plastic so that the passengers can survive a collision. With self-driving cars you won't need that anymore. I imagine the future of cars is a PRT[0] system - it's a perfect thing for a city. As for travel between cities, that's what trains are for.

I want to comment on the version of your comment that you edited.

You stated that you believe a blood glucose of 140 mg/dl would cause diabetic neuropathy whereas your GP quoted a blood glucose of 150 mg/dl as causative of diabetic neuropathy.

It doesn't seem like things are as starkly different as that. Patients usually develop diabetic neuropathy over many years, so it's not clear that your GP would have 'guaranteed you diabetic neuropathy'.

I suspect that the risk would actually lower for the remaining human drivers as the AI vehicles are probably going to be better at predicting and dodging our stupid mistakes, resulting in fewer accidents even if we don't improve our driving abilities.

Amazon is pulling hoverboards from its store pending safety review
Right. And, this is generally taken to mean that we--now freed of life's pesky minutiae (such as work), which is handled via automation--will all frolic in meadows, wearing fig leaves and pursuing our inner potential. We will subsist off of a basic income and life will simply be as intended, without the need for labor or physical movement for that matter.

And, I wonder what it is in human nature or recent history that makes so many believe that this will be even remotely close to how things actually unfold. That property rights will somehow cease to exist or that those who control the various automata won't simply accrete more economic power unto themselves, relying on ever fewer humans with whom to share that power. Yet, somehow, they will share the spoils such that the masses of unnecessary humans may live comfortably without expending the slightest effort.

It need not be a full-on sci-fi style dystopic future to be problematic. We are already seeing degrees of the problem. On our relentless quest to automate humans into obsolescence, seems that we should occasionally pause to consider the consequences in the context of what we know to be true of human nature and history.
Could you model it as a logical fallacy?

All super rich people are famous. Trump, Bush family, Walton family, etc. Rich, therefore you're famous.

In logical fallacy land, all famous people are therefore rich.

And youtube people are psuedo-famous (lets be realistic, 99% to 99.9% of the population don't care about them) therefore they must be rich.

Via the miracle of hollywood accounting, I distinctly remember William Shatner (or was it Leonard Nimoy) temporarily living in a van down by the river in the 70s in between trek and later revenue sources. In the hollywood PR era they were all rich even when they were not, in the YT era it can't be covered up anymore.
I used to watch for their flash sales regularly & actually buy stuff at Gilt. There were some great deals to be had in their early days. Then they moved so far up-market that I might as well have just walked into a Nordstrom or Bloomingdales and paid regular price.
I guess I just don't understand why such an incredibly intelligent, articulate person would want to focus their interest on this. I suppose one can only ask: if this activity accrued little money or power would this person still be interested in it? I mean would she have been a behavioural psychologist in another life? Or is it just leadership whatever the battle?

i've been on the fossil dev team since 2008, and i have seen many people claim that it "could" be compromised/modified post facto, and yet... nobody has been able to do it. Fossil's core data model does not just _assume_ that history doesn't change - it makes it essentially impossible to do.

Shunning is a special case which removes a given artifact from the db, but is considered a "nuclear option" of last resort. i've never personally used it.

Hi Kulakowla,

I am Pierre, one of the co-founder of Strapi.

First of all, thanks a lot for your positive feedback.

What did you especially appreciated in the stack (the open-source Node.js framework, the admin panel, the visual development tools included in the Studio...) ?

We have a public and active Slack, feel free to join : http://strapi.io/support

Bests,

Grid, Flexbox, Box Alignment: Our New System for Layout
Am I only one who doesn't see a problem here? Sure it would be nice if company X allowed me to use cheaper Chinese knock-offs with their product, but to me, they are well within their rights to decide: "hey, we don't want competitors to benefit from our product(s)"

In essense Phillips put money into R&D and marketing and if you are to believe the linked article into making smart lightbulbs mainstream. That shit is not cheap so why would they give money for their competitors? This move forces others to build their own base system and what not, which is fair.

I am sure you can find open{source|hardware} alternative if you don't wish to support Phillips anymore.
If you don't mind setting the function on instances at construct time, you can use ES2016 class properties:

class x {
a = wrapFunction(function() {})
}

This kind of use case is pretty well covered by ES2016 decorators as well (they're a bit more general as they act on property descriptors, not just values):

class x {
@functionWrapper
a() {}
}

> So it's not about "Hyperlinks don't come with a "this site is full of ads" marker". It's about you feeling entitled to other people's work for free, because... Oh yeah, because long time ago, the internet was not commercialized.

It's the same thing. The reason that hyperlinks expect the site on the other end of the link to be freely available is because that's the custom and practice of the internet.

> The fact that you made up a reason for your actions only shows that deep down, you know what you're doing is not right.

So it's not about "it's simple to avoid advertising if you don't like it", now it's about "it's not right"? Who's making up their reasons now?
I think "hope" is the keyword there and, unfortunately, I don't think there's evidence to warrant much of it. See my reply to your sibling.
The strange psychology of pain relief medicine
Why do you feel that you _have_ to be able to correct history? The past is immutable. Fossil treats it as such. git does not, no matter what configuration you're running - i can always create a fork, modify the history in my fork, and publish that. git has mutable history, period. fossil does not, period. They are different mindsets. i personally don't mind my mistakes staying in the record, and i am suspicious of people who feel they need to retroactively cover up past mistakes.
Fascinating tidbit:

> Colours also have an effect on how people feel about the medicine they are taking. Red pills have been reported to be more effective for treating pain than blue, green or white pills. But blue pills make more effective tranquilisers than red ones, except for Italian men. It's been suggested this could be because blue is associated with their national football team.

Ivacy VPN is offering 85% Christmas Discount
Hey guys, was just browsing through some Christmas VPN deals and found this VPN named Ivacy VPN to be offering 85% Discount on its yearly plan.

The subscription is available for $1.83 per month which means that I’d have to pay $21.95 for the whole year which is a pretty good deal.
As I had a chat with the support guy about the Christmas campaign, he said that it's a life-time offer and that I'll have to pay the same amount once my offer expires.

The offer is still valid says so on their website (ivacy) The offer I guess is going to end soon on 25th Dec, and I think a VPN subscription for as low as $1.83/mo is not a bad offer.

Their service is quite good. Except for a minor installation problem in the beginning, which the support team took care of, I have never experienced any problem with Ivacy.
I just wanted to let you guys know about this deal.
That's not the only thing she does. Moreover, ads can be interesting too.

Since ES6 can be cleaner, many projects have switched to using it with a transpiler like babel. This project (if/when it works) could help move older code to the new standard for consistency.

Even otherwise, I'm sure this was a fun and challenging project for the author.

So, more like this. And congrats on release.
You might be the only one. What if you bought a car, and after you bought it, the manufacturer of the car announced that they have remotely flashed the car's computer and now you can only drive to work, and if you want to drive anywhere else you have to buy 'tickets' for $5 per trip, or the car will refuse to run.

The point is that when you buy a thing, it is yours. When you own a thing, you are within your rights to do whatever you want with it, so long is it is legal. If makers of things can retroactively impose restrictions on the thing's use, then you have no rights whatsoever and anything that you own is yours to use only so long as whoever manufactured it feels like your use is maximizing it's profits.

Aging in Dog Years? The Short, Glorious Life of a Successful Tech Company
It's not even all that recent, I took some nutritional biochem classes in the late 70's and the professor said repeatedly that dietary cholesterol was not a big factor in what was in your blood as the molecule was too big to pass through the intestinal wall. What is made by the body (generally from a fatty diet) matters.
Completely agree. Often I'd look on the designer's website and find the exact price listed - even though Gilt said it was heavily discounted.

After my last shopping experience with them, I won't be buying again. Whilst it took several weeks for my items to arrive as they picked a cheap shipping option (which I don't really mind), they expected me to pay for fast delivery back to the US when I had to return the items. In the end, I received a little more than £100 back from an order that cost almost £200.

The truth is that people aren't all "idiots who should never, ever have been allowed behind the wheel". Driving is hard - ironically, harder than most drivers realize. It's been proven time and again that we absolutely suck at it. And the "normal driving standards and patterns" is a big part of the problem - our natural tendency to ignore the abstract rules and go with our gut is what kills people. It's hard to really blame a person for doing bad at a task that's not well-suited for their brain architecture. But it means we should leave driving to machines that are better at it, the very moment such machines become available.
You might want to read the book Why Zebras don't get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky. It's about stress, all aspects of it. So it's not about inflammation, although inflammation means stress and in that regard it is covered - you might find it interesting.

Be prepared for lots of chemical terms, but don't let that hold you off - there's enough interesting stuff to read. It has lots of interesting information.

It's very simple: Lots of people want to be famous and want to heard/seen/recognized. It used to be that only a very select few would get into Show Business, Radio, Movies and make quite a bit of money (still today). Fast forward fifty years, the barrier to entry in the space was lowered: anyone can post videos that cost next to nothing to make. That makes for more competition in that 'wanna be famous' space, and guess what? Surprisingly not everyone is making truck loads of money...

I have a small helpdesk software[1] that can sometimes get an awfully enourmous amount of spam. It is behind Mailgun, so it should get spam protection from Mailgun, but that doesn't really works, so I wander what could I do to prevent spam myself.

After reading about the Gmail spam protection I thought it was impossible to do anything against spam, because what Gmail does is not really possible to common people.

So I would like to know from you, that is much more experienced than I, what are my possibilities?

Also, isn't there a hosted service, SaaS or something, that offers filters and allow for feedback (users marking messages as spam), like a pay-as-you-go trained Bayes filter?

> Certain business processes, e.g. those sending people and machines into space, require 100% immutable auditability.

I work for a company that builds machines to be sent into space (specifically, electronics and high-tech instruments), and I have never heard of such a requirement. The end result matters to our customers, not the thousands of commits in our Subversion repository.
Australia has a mandatory level of insurance called Compulsory Third-Party insurance or CTP. It is required by law for all registered motor vehicles in all states and typically covers in the order of $20m or so of third-party medical expenses and/or compensation related to an injury sustained in an accident. Property damage is not covered.

As for relative price typically one would be looking at around $300-600 per year, depending on age, driving history, type of car etc. Granted with our universal health care I suspect that our average out-of-pocket medical expenses for injuries from car accidents are lower than the US.

Algorithm Solves Graph Isomorphism in Record Time
I was introduced to Fossil through a previous HN post and I love it. For smaller personal projects, it's the best. I like that I can just put the repo file into Dropbox and then have my project's tickets, documentation, and code all in one place.

And from someone who doesn't write much C, I will say that the source is very easy to read and poke around in. Just a great project all around.
(I am not ARM hater, the oposite is true. I admire the work Apple did when designing A9 -not the Cortex one - and I hope I can buy a lightweight laptop with Cortex A72 or Cryo next year. But this doesn't make Novena effort any way usable for heavy web usage or more demanding tasks or comparable with i5 notebooks for work..)
Even if you find it is not useful, please leave some comments about what you think of the idea and how it could be improved.
The difference (like the author states) is that JS & family has mutable data by default, while Clojurescript defaults to immutable such. You have to specify that you want your vectors and maps etc to be transient (fancy pants word for mutable).

You want immutability - think about it: how large % of your bugs are due to more than one procedure changing the value of one variable, and state getting out of sync?

For me in my JS day job, it is definitely a majority of the bugs we create. We also code very defensively to protect us against this.

In CLJS on the other hand, you'd have immutable data, and in tight loops where allocating objects would be expensive, you make your data transient, and then mutate it as much as you wish.

Living your life with immutable values is a serious improvement. Not only to code, but honestly quality of life.

Edit: Clojure doesn't return whole new data structures under the hood, but you never notice that. Here is a great explanation, prepare for (= (mind article) :blown) => http://hypirion.com/musings/understanding-persistent-vector-...

I had a long reply to your previous comment written out but you deleted before I could post and it got lost. But I guess what I was saying does boil down to this. I don't have a great deal of faith in the shallow, one size fits all, drug based approach I was offered. I do intend to look at wider options, and you're right that there's a lot of information available. However, I don't intend to do a Steve Jobs. If it looks like I've sustained damage to my arteries already or I can't find an intervention that works then I'll revert to the suggested route.
Hey there! The team that was working on that is watching this post if you have any questions.
Similar here. If the todo survives the development branch, it should be moved into the ticketing system. Otherwise, you have two ticketing systems, one of which will be forgotten when it comes time to prioritize new development.
I don't think this is really surprising. I don't know a ton about distributed systems, but the last time I read up on formalizing them and proving properties it seemed like an incredibly daunting task. There's an exponential blowup problem in that you end up having to follow every state in the state spaces of every actor against every other state over time. I saw some interesting proofs which used topological invariants to keep a hold of that whole complex more delicately... but to actually just dive in and try exhausting it cannot be simple.

Thank you; I think we're in agreement, regarding a desire for co-worker competency.

I think your comment helps with demonstrating the limits of what Carmack describes as, "break[ing] through your defenses". Gulit/shame "break through" to some, with the limitations I described, but it works counter-productively, with others.

How an employer chooses to handle this hypothetical person represents another discussion entirely.
