I too like many others work from home and to complicate it I own my company... so I have very little separation of work and personal life.

But I love it. One of my favorite things is I can play my own damn music as loud as I want!

And yeah It may not be psychologically ideal but humans are pretty adaptable. You just have to develop new habits and behavior.

Some of the things I do to help the work/life balance:

* My wife calls me at 4:30-5:00pm everyday to tell me to wrap up my shit or else... this is pretty critical as I can easily get in the zone and the heads up expectations for some reason works.

* I try to walk every day on the days I don't lift weights

* I have a home gym. And despite what people think you don't need a lot of space. There are so many space saving products out there (like quickly collapsable pullup/dip bars, weighted vests etc).
As others mentioned, for some it’s important to separate work from home. It resembles more of a classic approach to workspace. However, when you think about lifestyle choices and entrepreneur mindset, fusion of two is better as there is no work anymore. Everything is hustle, either landing clients or writing code.
Opera mini , specifically , uses it's servers to render mobile optimized pages, so all of the search history is on the servers.
To put it short:
Academic "weight" works much like google - the more citations paper has, the higher it is ranked. Of course a citation from local university journal (probably every university has at least one) is worth much, much less than a citation from Nature. It is calculated from Impact Factor, that is in turn calculated from number of citations. Sort of a closed loop.

This would not be too much of a problem if not for funding. You see, funding, that is necessary for anything non-trivial, is usually awarded according to researcher's reputation - something again based on impact, citations, etc.
But, but ... aren't all startups told to look for that "unfair competitive advantage" :)
It isn't just driving in the rain that's a problem; puddles after the rain are, too. From an article 2/6/2016:

> Some objects are hard to figure out, though. Heavy rain, for instance, confuses the cars. Google postponed The Bee’s first planned test ride because heavy rain had left puddles in the road, and the cars aren’t sure how to react when the car ahead splashes water into the air. If confused, the cars are programmed to just pull over and stop.

It's the failure to file a FBAR every year that has meant some people have paid outrageous fines. That's separate from the income tax return.

100% avoidable, yes. Motivated by greed? No, by indifference. No decision-maker here made a decision about the water supply in order to make money off of it.

What kind of cluster computing? I've had good experiences with Scala and Spark, though that might be for a different use case.
It honestly means that nobody really knows what they are talking about. Every time somebody comes up with a "rule" or a pithy slogan, somebody else comes along and falsifies it.
Agreed with everything you said, but it's worth pointing out that Congress doesn't set the expatriation fees, the State Department does, which falls under the executive branch.

Ostensibly, the fees were raised as a reaction to Eduardo Saverin's expatriation for tax avoidance purposes.

Congress is to blame for plenty, but not this.
jacquesm is right, there's no actual scientific breakthrough here. We already know glutaraldehyde does a good job of preserving synaptic structure, that's why we have used it to fix brains for electron microscopy analysis for roughly a century. I guess it's cool that you can freeze a glut-fixed brain and then unfreeze it and that won't have a dramatic effect on the structure. I'd be interested to know how quantitative their analysis was. Absence of evidence (of deformed synapses) is not evidence of absence. But anyways the synaptic ultrastructure probably isn't everything. It's necessary but not sufficient.
> For example, the Julia community seems to have coined the term “type-stability” to describe a concept that static / compiled languages have historically enforced and dynamic / scripting languages have historically disregarded.

I was not aware that this was a Julia neologism. It seems like such an appropriate term for discussing how to make code make the most out of JIT-compilation.

Blows my mind that you people can't even vote when living abroad. As a Swiss, the embassy registers me in either my home canton or my last residential canton for votes (i.e. all the people referendums) and elections. They send me the voting letters to my Japanese home address. Free of charge.

Things like this and the Flint water scandal make me want to never work in the US, even if it's just a year. Dealing with your tax authorities? No thank you.
To my knowledge, the exit tax didn't exist before 2008.

For many people it isn't about taxes. It's the fact that due to FATCA they can't even have a bank account in the country where they have lived and worked for many years. Banks in some countries have closed the accounts of US citizens due to the cost of compliance with FATCA. Imagine suddenly being unable to cash your paycheck or pay your bills because as a US citizen you are a pariah to the banks of the country in which you live..

That's a good point. Probably the most widespread data example for non-programmers is spreadsheets (MS Excel, Google Sheets). The first row[1] in the spreadsheet is labeled as "1" instead of "0". The idiomatic Visual Basic programming code to loop through the rows would look something like:

For Each cell In Range("a1:a25") ' not "a0:a24"

If no mention of the other things you find questionable are explained, then it's just flaming.

I'm a paying customer of Yahoo, and I'm honestly stressing whether or not I'm going to be SOL. They've changed their store/web merchant stuff, and I don't know if they off-loaded it or not (they call it a re-brand). But I had to make a new login.

And for the love of God it's been 6 years and I still can't put a link to "Small business" on my "personal" page's sidebar. I mean, what the fuck? I have to have a personal bookmark, and now the link has changed to something I'll never remember if I'm at a computer other than this one.

Ugh. Yes, I am losing confidence.
Yes.

Most HD(1080p) video is 8mb/s or lower.

I feel like Santa Claus most of the time because people are so thankful to even get 10mb/s. It makes my line of work very rewarding. You would be amazed at how quickly a 10mb/s internet connection will make you everyone's best friend. I get fed nice home cooked dinners, showered with praise, invited over for game night. Some of these people will do almost anything just for fast, reliable internet.

One company I worked for about 10 years ago went out of business, many of the customers had my personal cell phone number. I was bombarded with calls for the following 5 years with their old customers begging me to somehow get them internet. I tried my best where I could, but just didn't have the financial means to help them.

Not at all. He's saying that what likely landed many, though probably not all, of them in jail ("snapping") has its basis in neurology, but flat out states that that response is due to numerous outside triggers, including things like stress, and that our responses to those triggers are something we can control once we recognize they're pressing these deeply wired buttons.

That said, I do agree, the story as told here is still a bit black and white for my taste. For me it was the heroism angle that threw me... E.g., maybe the majority of decorated vets are men because, until recently, only men were eligible for combat roles.

Activision has "owned" Blizzard for much longer than it has been "ActivsionBlizzard" as they've owned a major stake in Vivendi Games which owned Blizzard, before that Blizzard was owned by Comp-U-Card and before that by Sierra Entertainment.

WoW is still the biggest meanest MMO out there when it comes to subscription based games they still have a larger market share than all other subscription games combined and more than any western MMO combines regardless of the business model.

They aren't in their peak of 12M players but the market just doesn't have place for such whales anymore.

As for the RMH I don't think you can "blame" anyone, especially not Activision, Blizzard always has done pretty much what it wanted and they've always wanted to monetize multiplayer beyound the usual sub/cash shop that WoW has, they had plans to introduce a map market in SC2 but it never gotten of the ground.

Any business will strive to make as much money as possible game companies are not excluded from this paradigm so it's a bit funny that people think that some game developers are some angelic unicorns.

Ask HN: How to open a business bank account in US as an non-US person?
I have been looking to incorporate a US corporation for a SAAS product. Now I understand the procedure to start a corporation. But it seems that banks wont let me open a bank account if I am not present physically in US. Is there a workaround ?

Also an agent that I talked about registering in US, told me that I can open a bank account by sending the required documents to any friend in US and let them submit the documents. Will that work ?
As far as I'm concerned, I'd have been happier if the case were fully litigated with a precedent set, and damages against Warner Music being as disproportionate as what the music industry wants against random file sharers.

This has been going on for a looooong time. Old time intel 486 "SX" chips without math co-processors (floating point unit really) were originally 486 "DX" with either the co-processor disabled or which failed QA. At some point, they made actual SX without FPU built-in.

The "stand alone" math co-processor you could add to an SX based system to gain h/w floating point was actually a full blown 486 dx CPU with a different pin layout (one extra pin) so it couldn't be used as CPU and could therefore be priced differently.

If your child is seeing a peditrician on a regular basis they will almost certainly test for lead levels at age 1 or 2. They do not test for it or do other blood work routinely after than unless high levels are found.

Having an office and granting perks to those who previously used the office (or everyone) doesn't have any redistributional effects as long as it doesn't incentivize prior non-office employees to join coworking spaces.

But apart from that, I'm with you in your conclusion that an equal amount of money for possible work environments is probably the most structure agnostic solution.
So this tool picks the title that gets more often clicked on. If they'd only use it for one article or section of their site, this section probably get an advantage compared to the rest. But they want to use it on all articles to get an advantage over the competitors.

I wonder if this actually improves absolute engagement, or whether it just improves engagement with each post relative to the others.

I fear they are optimizing the wrong variable. If they don't take into account click counts for competitor's web sites, then they will have a lot of "optimized" click-baity headlines. Those will always win in A-B tests against non-optimized WP headlines, but not necessarily against competitor's articles, and especially it is not said that they will increase the total traffic to the WP.

In the worst case, every link will say "Click here to receive your free prize!"...

It might be worth investigating Lightworks. It's a professional grade NLE[0], with a "free" version, with limits on output format.

Five or six years ago, EditStore purchased the Lightworks product, with promises of open sourcing the code[1], but that doesn't seem to have happened.

However, there's a pretty stable Linux version available to download[2].

The first person the article gives credit to is Bezos, asserting his presence influenced the tool. Is it safe to doubt he had anything to do with this? I would expect this type of tooling from any web publication with in house engineering staff.

Math: Are negative numbers real things?
It seems to me that negative numbers are a convenient way to measure movement between finite systems, but may not be real universally.

For example, if money leaves my account (negative number) it doesn't disappear or go into a universal money vacuum somewhere, it just goes (positive number) to another account. Same for body temperature, photon emission, or anything else in the universe - don't the laws of conservation mean that negative numbers are just measurements for movement between systems but there's never an real "subtraction" of anything anywhere anytime?

And if negative numbers really are contrived to help us deal with systems in isolation, then have we hamstrung our fundamental mathematics by treating them as real numbers instead of imaginary?

The problem with Yahoo in my opinion is that is the tail being wagged by the dog (baba), and that Marissa Mayer's hobby is to set cash on fire. Once BABA is separated, and Mayer is 'remixed, a creative CEO may very well be able to turn it around.In my opinion the business is ripe to follow a Berkshire model of using cash flow from the dying business (search engine) to buy a few free cash generating, growing businesses.

Extremely stupid tweet by Andreessen. He probably doesn't even realize that, like most ignorant people.

Knowing the sentiment in tech about keeping internet free from external interests, I don't know how he could support Facebook's plan like this. On top of that he was condescending towards India by bringing up "poor" and "morality" when instead he should have commended India for not falling for the trap.

He is entitled to his opinions about colonialism. People that care about it will respond.
