> I don't know if anyone has done good studies on it.

And why would they! If an industry or country can get an advantage out of a renewable tech, it's not in their interests to fund studies if they could give the wrong answers. That's the reality of it. Biofuel was a good case in point, it's proponents are now back peddling pretty fast. The drive to profit forbids foresight.

You can add diesel cars, electric cars, and CFD, LED bulbs to that list too.
What's more, anabolic steroid use causes long term changes to muscle by increasing number of myonuclei (this also happens with natural training, but less effectively). Myonuclei are not lost even after long term muscle atrophy, so it's much easier to regain lost muscle size ("muscle memory"). You keep the benefits long after your cheating has become impossible to prove.

Best Lawyers for Credit Card Skimming Lawsuit
You bring up the exact point that I was just thinking about, namely why market share is used as a criteria for defining whether certain behaviors fall into the anticompetitive realm but profit share isn’t.

Apple taking 90% of overall worldwide smartphone profits may not be good for competition or the consumer, yet that isn’t regulated, not that I am suggesting that it should be. Apple obviously has enormous power due to its profitability that gives it a competitive advantage.

I guess the thing I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around is exactly when normal competitive practices become anticompetitive, requiring legal intervention from regulators, and why these seem to center solely around market share and not other things like profits.
It sounds like a good idea, but in reality, the sport of road cycling is and always has been extremely heavily dependent on bicycle manufacturers. You could probably make an argument that professional cycling exists mostly for the purpose of selling bikes. At the moment, five of the eighteen WorldTour teams (they're the top level teams) have names like BMC Racing Team and Trek-Segafredo, and I don't think they'd be very happy about everybody riding unbranded bikes.
With credit card skimming becoming so rampant, it is important that you protect your interests by engaging the services of skilled lawyers who can ensure that you emerge from the entire incident without any real losses to contend with.

Yeah, but where are the airports? They're inevitably in population centers.

Case in point: FedEx flies into SJC, and the planes on the approach fly low over downtown, and very low over 101, since the end of the runway is right next to 101.

They can easily switch bikes pretending that they have a flat tire, or any other issue. IIRC suspects of using batteries have also been seen to switch bikes at suspicious moments.
The difference is that using STL containers such as std::string or std::vector are very much the default in C++ (much the same way ‘safe’ code is the default in Rust), whereas you have to do some manual work in C to get them. The result is that using std::string and std::vector here is the natural solution in C++, whereas likely very experienced C programmers stuck to the manual approach.

Revealing internal data on payment success rate. No payment co. has done this?
OP Here> The setup was as follows: VM instance in each of the 4 cloud regions around the world:

Council Bluffs, IA (us-central1)
Berkeley County, SC (us-east1)
St. Ghislain, Belgium (europe-west1)
Changhua County, Taiwan (asia-east1)

So on any cache miss at one of the 50+ edge POPs, the cloud HTTP(S) load balancer will direct the request to the nearest cloud region. The resulting cache fill happens over Google's global network, which is fast. Once that cache fill happens, that edge cache can serve the content directly to clients, which is even faster.
Yes. In the US, originally you could be a First Officer without holding the ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certificate. The ATP requires 1500 hours of flight time. Prior to the rule change, you would see regional airlines recruiting pilots with as low as 400 hours of total time (TT) for FO positions, allowing them to build the requisite hours to obtain their ATP.

Presumably somebody actually bought a copy of each scanned book.

Aren't we just getting back to the same deal as the people who wanted Google to pay them to link to them? They were all screaming about how Google was making money on their backs. Even passed a law about it in a couple of countries. Then Google says OK, we're not going to pay you, we'll just stop linking to you. Suddenly everybody in one of those countries strikes a "deal" with Google where Google goes back to linking to them in exchange for no money whatsoever.

The main difference with printed books is that so many of them are orphan works that nobody even knows who the copyright holder is, so the default being the opposite of what everybody actually wants means that all of those works actually disappear out of the index.

Which is why I suspect the publishers want it that way. Then they can opt-in to being indexed but without all the competition from orphan works, works with uncertain copyright status, works by smaller entities that don't know how to opt-in, etc.

Either that or it's like the news sites and they just don't realize how stupid the thing they're asking for actually is.
The main difference to boilerplate generators like Yeoman is that Roc collects an entire set of dependencies into a single npm package, versions it and provides a generic way to start using them within a project (CLI + configuration).

It does not introduce an extra api-layer, you use things like React like you normally would.

In short terms the boilerplate is shifted into a versioned module that has a CLI and simple configuration system. The main goal of this is to keep complexity of things like Webpack, universal rendering and the like outside your actual project.

When you generate an app with Yeoman you get all the code dumped into your project. With Roc you get a thin skeleton that depends on the larger module that can be updated through npm.

Think of it like npm module composition.
WSL is only a CLI layer. The GUI is still cmd.exe.

> If you want to "hack" healthcare and fix the problem, get involved in government and get single payer done.

So we can turn what health technology gets developed into even more of a political game? Building a board of government insiders as opposed to scientists and clinical experts is exactly the kind of move that would work especially well in a single payer system. You want to know what healthcare would look like when governments were the only payors worldwide? Look at defense contracting. Or aerospace. He who had the best lobbyist would win.

If I could change one thing about the commenting on the state of our health care system it would be to require everyone who says "oh we just need single payer" to spend a year working for an insurer, a hospital, and a health technology manufacturer. Then come tell me that changing who pays will fix all problems. Here is a following not-comprehensive list of things that would not be fixed just be going to single payer:

- the US subsidizing all health tech (drug/device) development

- fee-for-service payment structure leading to perverse incentives

- malpractice fears leading to risk-averse, defensive medicine

- poor reimbursement rates yielding waiting lists to be seen by a doctor

- bureaucrats in CMS (the payors) exerting influence on the FDA to not approve new technology because they feel it is too similar to existing technology

- regulators creating vague rules that get applied differently from case to case, making them impossible to plan for

I could go on. I do agree with you that a lot of startups in the space are putting a bandaid on a bleeding jugular. But saying "let's get government more involved" neglects the fact that we're in this problem in part because government is very involved and has been since WWII.

There are three ways you can make healthcare better and cheaper for everyone:

- Make health technology cheaper

- Change the way health care is paid for (I credit Oscar for trying to make it in this space but for various reasons think they're unlikely to succeed)

- Change the way that health care is delivered

There are a number of startups tackling the latter (telemedicine, doctors on demand, drugs delivered to you, etc). Unfortunately the Affordable Care Act has many provisions that make it difficult to innovate in this space, because of the view that it's much easier to control costs when the point-of-care is controlled by a few big hospital systems.

I run a startup that's trying to tackle my first solution: making health tech cheaper by making it easier for startups to get their products through regulators and disrupt incumbents.

But even if we're wildly successful and can start lowering health tech costs across the board, the problem won't be fixed until we fix the payment structure, which will require innovation in payment models, not a one-size-fits-all government plan.

I completely agree, this type of snake oil entrepreneurship is really getting on my nerves. It seems that peddling pseudo science is a very lucrative business opportunity and as such there is no small amount of people willing to jump on it.

Another thing that truly gets me annoyed is the listing out of all these "things" that an author has been, none of them the reader would know if they have actually been any good at it. I could list a myriad of things "I have been" and make me look like a renaissance man except half of them I have been not even average at.

Since when airlines make a lot of money? Their profit margins are so thin I wonder how they survive at all.

The solution is obvious, of course. Machines can drive cars, hence, they will be also flying planes soon.

Pilots complaining their jobs are routine? Good. All routine jobs are to be eliminated, the sooner the better.

It's not so much a comment on their situational awareness, it's that they're riding one vehicle with the style of another. It's behavior that would probably be harmless if they were going half the speed.

It's not pseudo-science. It has been validated, and has good test-retest reliability by psychological standards (numbers off the top of my head but it's something like 80% immediately, and something like 65% after five years) - so it's measuring something, and that something is reasonably stable.

What is true is that there's no bimodality in the distribution - each factor is a bell curve - and so talking about E/I is similar to talking about above-average IQ/below-average IQ rather than talking about the numbers. But it's not pseudo-science.
There appears to be no option that will make these processes appear, even if you run the Task Manager as an administrator. It shows all the other processes on the system, just not the ones running in the Linux subsystem.
I honestly can't tell if this is real. My dislike started strong, but his reference to useless MBTI crap and peddling of his book in some annoying non-ironic form turns me even more towards disliking, nearing hatred, to him and those like him. It's nonsense on top of nonsense all the way down.

If it's real - then he's a self loathing twat who doesn't know how to push his own boundaries. If he can do arts and do any job and essentially anything wants, all because of his look-at-me-I'm-an-ENTP qualities, then he's not obviously pushing his own boundaries and is only acting as a detriment to everybody. Do something to improve others' lives. Don't tell anybody you did it. It's difficult yet possible, time consuming yet financially awful, and gloriless yet commendable. Just do it, asshole. It'll make you feel good about yourself and what you do. Sheesh louise.....

14.04 is an LTS release, which is, by definition, stable. 2.8.0 (latest, what I'm running) is vastly different from 1.9.1.

Stability is not the same thing as insecurity. As long as a stable release is supported, the maintainer promises to keep it secure. If your version of git had that vulnerability, Ubuntu would have backported the patches/fixes and made it available to you.

The version number 1.9.1 is a release identifier, not a security status identifier.
Non-determinism comes in many forms. I don't think it's an all or nothing thing.

Eliminating non-determinism is always nice, even if lots of other non-determinism remains.

Having predictable and understandable resource use is a nice plus. Removing dynamic memory allocation also tends to increase locality, remove indirections, and remove error handling paths from your code.
When tech giants rival nation states
None of these points are big obstacles. Airports may be "busy", but the system is already set up such that pilots can perform a whole flight under next-to-zero visibility. It's mainly an issue of airspace control.

En route diversions are easy to handle by a rudimentary flight crew and communication equipment. The computer just needs to know the new destination and off it goes. It could even find one on its own, if all the crew is knocked out and all communications have failed.

That being said, people won't trust an AI enough to make this a reality soon. Even though a system more secure than an average pilot is certainly conceivable.

C# pays my bills at the moment. There's never been a lot of love for Microsoft on HN, but politics aside, C# is an excellent language in my opinion and where I am (UK), there are lots of C# and Java jobs. They tend to be more "corporatey" than the Ruby/Python cohort.
No it's not.
Solar panels must be free from dust to remain efficient, meaning you have to clean them, frequently, with water...
Not the whole issue. At the very least, raising wages significantly would mean higher ticket prices which in turn means lower demand.

The airlines are also afraid to put pilots in a situation of power at the negotiation table.
Shhh ...
A little off topic, but what's cycling like there?

From what I've heard (never been there) Australia is about as close as it gets to the perfect society... except they hate cyclists like the plague?
If other sports , like football/soccer were under the same surveillance as cycling, the results probably would be similar, but it's easier to go on the same people.
It's not a tinfoil hat, it is the only solution that will inevitably be implemented.

In the world where I routinely get cross-Europe plane tickets for $30, airline pilots are about as glamorous as truck drivers, and will be replaced by robots about as soon. And no, nobody wants to go back to the time when average ticket price was $300 or more.
Not sure what you mean. Plenty, if not most, engineers on HN are compensated at market rate for their region and skill-set. The uproar over the anti-poaching scandal involving Apple, Google, etc. from a few years ago was due to the artificial wage deflation that it created. I can't recall folks from HN siding with the corporations during that time. Sure, sweat equity is valued at early-stage cash-strapped startups, but that is in addition to "passion" and a lower salary.

> There's a very clear line in this case. Cycling is a human powered sport. Battery, gasoline, nuclear, and other power sources are not allowed. This is why mopeds are not allowed. Also prohibited is temporary power storage like a capacitor or spring, which might be used for regenerative braking.

Doesn't a derailleur have to have a spring in it? And any chain will have a certain amount of tension that allows it to store a (small) amount of energy. Heck, even standing up on the pedals is a way of storing energy to use later.

> Only a specific set of technology is allowed in a bike race. Under UCI rules, cyclist aren't allowed to use aeroshells, and recumbent bicycles are also prohibited, even though both are much more "similar" to a bicycle than your proposed monkey with a walking stick.

This makes me sad. Is there a formula/series that allows any kind of purely human-powered vehicle, whether it looks like a traditional bicycle or not? I'd love to watch that.

True. But management and payment overhead were huge limitations. I've worked as a freelance, and part of the game is getting royalties in every market. But it was never easy, even with good contracts. Getting paid was a pain.

Now, however, with tons of usage data, and low-overhead blockchain payment systems, perpetual royalties are doable. They could be relatively small, context dependent, and declining over time.

Citation? Flywheels can be very efficient especially with modern engineering. And it could be oriented so that the gyroscopic effects were stabilizing or destabilizing as desired, plus I think in any case riders would adapt quickly - I ride a "twitchy" bike with no front fork sometimes, and my old professor built a bike with a counter-rotating flywheel to disprove the myth that cyclists rely on gyroscopic effects to stabilize them.
