Very interesting, Dandruff is widely linked to fungus with Malassezia being the most prevalent species and cause.

What is really interesting is if you dig deeper into the data you can find that these fungus eat certain oils in sebum leaving behind specific metabolytes and an undesired ratio of oil in sebum which is what I think causes the symptoms of dandruff...it is essentially a side effect.

I personally lost lot of hairs due to dandruff. I lost hair to the extent that I had to get hair transplant surgery done to get my hair back. After discovering this shampoo, I realized that if I would have used Ketoconazole based shampoo earlier in my life, it would have not only just fought dandruff, but also I would have prevented hair loss.

After using Nizoral brand Ketoconazole shampoo, my dandruff problem got a lot under control and my scalp is not itchy anymore. Even I recommended this to my friends, who were struggling with dandruff. They liked it as it worked for them. But we all keep complaining about following 5 things, which could have been improved in any Ketoconazole based shampoo:

1. Smell, texture and lather of current Ketoconazole shampoo is bad as compared to the other regular famous brands like Pantene, Dove, Head & Shoulders. This alone can amazingly improve the product quality.

2. Dryness - Washing hair with Ketoconazole shampoo leaves hair dry. So it becomes really important to apply hair oil before using the shampoo.

3. Price - Current Ketoconazole shampoos are expensive. 200 ml Ketoconazole shampoo cost around $20 (AUD).

4. Poor bottling and packaging - Bottling and packaging of the current Ketoconazole based shampoo make them look like medicated shampoo. Also most of them are not 100% recyclable.

5. Availability - Ketoconazole based shampoo are not readily available.

So with Love & Care we would like to address above problems and create product which is way better than exiting Ketaconazole based shampoos.

According to Australian government health data, about 50% of the population suffers from dandruff at some point in their life and regular washing with an anti-dandruff shampoo is useful in the treatment of dandruff. We personally believe that with Love & Care shampoo, quality of people's life suffering with dandruff, itchy scalp and hair loss will improve significantly. Also not worrying about dandruff will boost their confidence.

The challenge for Oracle is not how to do it, but how to make it pay. The price point for a TB class homebrew gpu solution is ~$30k. Oracle implementations used to be in the $500k range. This is why Oracle must move to the cloud and take customers with it.

Oracles problem, customers who are keen on the cloud may well go to GCE, MS or AWS. Customers who are not so keen seek to save the money with open source and commodity implementations.

If you are sitting on a huge installed base the very last thing you want to see is disruptive technology shaking out your customer base. Oracle has seen three waves in five years - Hadoop, Cloud and now GPU/SCM. It's a tribute to the software and strategy of Oracle that they aren't bleeding rivers of red ink.
Yes, 3D TV was a failure, but I still hold out a little hope that someone will get VR/AR right. Saying that AR has failed in 2016 because Google Glass could be like saying MP3 players failed because Creative Nomad in early 2001.

Not that it has to be Apple, but someone has to come up with an angle that is innovative if these technologies are going to make an impact.

That all said and hindsight being 20/20, the thing that 3D TV, AR, and VR have in common is that it is the collective willpower of the bleeding edge evangelists alone that is powering discussion. Real tech innovations are immediately recognized as game changers by the general public.

That's precisely the point: we already have package managers. Its just 'unfashionable' to use them.

What I would do if my language needed package management: write an abstraction for whatever package managers exist on the platform I'm targeting. So my 'package manager' would just be a smart shell around apt-get, or yum, or whatever.

Okay, this looks like an idea ripe for the attention ..

No one is going to build this stuff unless it has some sort of personal gain for them. There's nothing wrong with that at all, it's just the way things work.

I like native advertising in general. The one thing I do not like though is the growing prevalence of "un-advertising" i.e. blurring logos of brands that appear in the image for different reasons. I have not looked into this but I presume this is done because some sponsor earned exclusivity.

Also, I absolutely hate the current trend in tv shows to put a sticker over a logo on _every single_ computer. Real world does not look like this, it is ridiculous.
If that wasn't a pun, it was an accurate point.
Agreed. The whole concept of browsers only supporting some parts of the HTML and CSS specifications but not others (and this support differing quite significantly between browsers) is ridiculous. How about they focus on getting on the support down for major recommendations before trying to spend all that effort on supporting drafts with about two years to go before they're ready for production?

Expecting that problems won't happen with a cloud provider that happen everywhere else is a pipe dream. They might be better at it because of scale, but no cloud provider can always be up. It happened at Amazon, now it's happened at Google. Eventually, finding a provider that never went down will be like finding the airline that never crashed.

Operating across regions decreases the chances of downtime, it does not eliminate them.

> The response times are what's expected when you are running one of the biggest server fleets in the world.

That may be true, but actually delivering on that expectation is a huge positive. And more than having the right processes in place, they had the right people in place to recognize and deal with the problem. That's not a very easy thing to make happen when your resources cross global borders and time zones.

Look at what happened with Sony and Microsoft - they were both down for days and while Microsoft was communicative, Sony certainly was not. Granted, those were private networks, but the scale was enormous and they were far from the only companies affected.

ELBs do IPv6 at the edge and everything else (ELB->EC2) is IPv4.
I think it depends on what your edge is. If your edge is your technology then you need the best developers, if your edge is marketing then you need the best marketers, if your edge is fund-raising…

Having said this anyone starting a technology company without having a founder with a technology background is insane.

>You'd be surprised. E.g. brew files are in the Cellar dir, npm modules are in node_modules, global pip files are in their own folder, etc.

Yeah, you're pretty competent at remembering all that, because you have to, over and over again, re-build this ontology... probably as part of a job or profession. Therefore "its good for you".

But, outside that box, is a world where applications, developers, the operating system .. and most important of all: users, don't have to hire people such as yourself to maintain all that gluck. And in that world, the OS and Apps guys, when they build Frameworks, don't make the mistake of -DRY/NIH/RTW'ing themselves, over and over and over again (I count 4 in your list, but there are many, many more sorts of this kind of thing) .. ad infinitum.

It is a huge mess, modern software development. There is nothing efficient, effective, or 'intelligent' about everyone having their own idea about how to add packages to a system. We learn this, every single time some language-/tech-/stack-dejour forks off their own little mind about how this all should be done.

Its because there isn't such attention being paid by the people who assemble the operating systems, about the needs of .. what admittedly becomes a huge reason to stay 'stuck' on the OS. Once you get it all set up. And have a team of monkeys to keep it from falling over, just because someone did an install somewhere, touched a .file accidentally, didn't quite properly set up a BOGUS_ENV before doing configure, etc. and etc. and /etc.

This seems to be an extremely powerful tool, but the onramp is pretty long - many strange abstractions have to be configured and running properly before you can get anything out of it.

I would highly recommend that the package maintainers for i-Score consider adding pre-made samples to the package.. this way at the least, we could load the tutorial files and see how it works without having to dance through the fire of configuring Pd, adding a new patch, etc. This can be very daunting for newcomers - so it'll mean your users will be the more pro/critical types. You've got to work on the newbies in this field (music-making), or else you don't get the users you think you deserve ..
This assumes all the software your stack uses and you deploy is completely bug free. While rare, bugs can occure that have been in production for a long time and those will only occur when you hit a certain conditions. Now, all your services are down. 100% is impossible.

Also, if there is a problem with one component of your stack that could have run off a cloud services, chances are Google, or Amazon will fix your edge condition much quicker then you.
When/if the business cycle settles out (say Moore's law stops now and international affairs settle due to the emergence of a super being who imposes world peace) I would expect this kind of approach (rocket ship wins) to be prevalent about 10 years hence.

It makes great sense to me as a techie, my users will be happy. My staff will be happy. I will sleep at night. There will be no surprises, everything will just work. We will not have to explain that "the cluster just doesn't do that well when it's 90% full" or "it's been unstable since we lost that node a month ago, we think that the new capacity will let it get to a better state when we put that in" or "there's a network problem, we don't know why, somethings interacting with something else and long queries are getting killed".

However, my CFO will never give me the money to build a rocket ship. NEVER. I have looked into the eyes of his successor and all his acolytes and they will never give me the money either. To make this happen the current corporate hegemons of HR & Finance must be thwarted and destroyed. We must take their significant others, ride their quadrupedal beasts and burn their smartphones. Only when the laments of their personal digital assistants swirl in my ears like a Bach requiem will I take a case to the Operating Committee to do things right.

Until then it would be suicide.

How to brew beer in a coffee maker
You get an AS number, and announce your own IP space. DNS failover only sort-of works.

Or your subscribe to a "GSLB" service where they do this for you for a significant fee. Or you use a "man-in-the-middle as a service" system like Cloudflare, who do this at an extremely reasonable and/or free cost.

Of course, you still have to deal with the risk of route leaks, BGP route flapping/dampening, and other things which can take your IP addresses offline despite the fact you are multihoming with different carriers in different locations.

So perhaps you setup IP addresses on different ASNs and use both DNS & IP based failover.

But then you find a bug somewhere in your software stack which makes all of this redundancy completely ineffective. So you just take your ball, go home and cry.

SD Card Data Recovery 8.8.8.8 Crack and Serials Are Here
Has anyone actually done this? I lack the skill to but for a piece of software this important, surely someone is working on this? And will it be repeated for every update?

Personally if I was the NSA or GCHQ I think it would be a wicked smart plan to release this and have it be actually secure, have it audited, gain trust, let people use it for a while then after a while release an update that shoved all the messages in memory to a server somewhere once people let their guard down. Implausible yes, but that's the issue with trust. And I'm not sure releasing the clean source would really help this. The only thing would be to hold up on updating the app until a trusted party had audited the updated binary. More paranoia: Also would have to audit the specific binary for every country with wierd laws (e.g. UK's RIPA) appstore to make sure we didn't get a nice local flavour of poison.

I'd guess this is a result of two things:

> customer pushback over seeing churn in changelogs for their "stable" systems

> RH making it difficult to cherry-pick kernel patches out of their tree by only including their changeset on the vanilla kernel version as a monolithic patch

They can't feasibly lie to their customers by eliding the changelogs, they presumably have failed to change attitudes about fixes to other parts of the codebase being rolled in, and so here we are, though having it be public is an interesting choice for Oracle.

I wonder if it's also a PR move to get other people to leverage their "security" tree.

> They don't teach you the degree has little value.

It's true you can get a degree, even an engineering degree, without learning much of any value. But if you go to college to actually get an education, the degree is simply a side effect.

If you avoid the hard classes, do as little as possible, etc., and get a degree but don't be surprised to find out that degree is worthless.

the point overlooked in this article is how much costlier vram is compared to ram. to store same amount of data in vram as ram would cost you an order of magnitude more. not to mention dbs like mapd are not distributed, so you are limited to the amount of gpus you can cram in a single box

Ask HN: Give equity shares to users. Good or bad idea?
I was thinking about how to verify my ideas, market fit, etc. and acquire early users for feedback. Here is a crazy idea:
1. Give users who respond my surveys and become early users and provide feedbacks certain amount of shares. The logic you are investing your time with quality feedback to help me make quality product.
2. No vote right attached to those shares.
3. Only convertable when first version of product is launched or valuation reaches some bar.

Any opinions on my idea? Thanks!

It's one thing if you're responding to pages resulting from other groups' coding errors or failure-to-build sufficiently robust systems. Another if you're self-servicing.

One of my own "take this job and shove it" moments came after pages started rolling in at 2am, bringing me on-site until 6am. I headed back for sleep, showed up that afternoon and commented on the failure of any of the dev team to answer calls/pages/texts (site falling over, I had exceptionally limited access capabilities and was new on team). Response was shrugs.

GPUs are already getting slower, CPUs have been stagnant for a while (no 2x every few years), except if they just double the core count. I think in time specialized domain hardware will make financially sense because it will be the only way to grow.
One reason the "rusty bicycle" approach has worked so well is because of economies of scale. If you look at mean time to failure on "commodity consumer" vs "enterprise grade" GPUs they're very close and price wise the consumer hardware is significantly less expensive on a flop/W/$ basis.
It's not mandatory to have a guru (teacher isn't a right translation of Guru) to follow path of self-realization however, having one certainly help. When someone asked Ramakrishna (the Guru of famous Vivekananda) similar question he said indicating a boat being dragged by a steamer "The boat can very well cross the river on its own but when it's attached to the back of a steamer, it crosses the same quite quickly." So the role of Guru is like that of a steamer in the sadhak (practitioner) life.

A practitioner really doesn't know his mind because the one who knows his mind can really subdue it. After all the modifications of mind is the only thing that has to be put under control so that it speaks only when you want it to. That's the state of self-realization.
What are your thoughts on Bayes Impact?

In the world of data science, 99% of the problem is defining the problem. There's huge armies of data scientists ready to tackle well defined problems.

How do you hope to do a really good job of defining the problem in a meaningful insightful unconventional way? What are your tactics to do so?

The problem with ResearchKit is that it's hunting for Hawthorne-effect-less data even though it's rife with it.

The issue with a lot of the Validic-style MEMS data is that there's no indication that walking/running/steps counted/ or other key MEMS recorded activities account for a gene regulation pathway?
