Wim Hof is an individual case study that has done research in this area, and other related phenomena (breathing and autonomous response control)[1]

Not sure it's any more or less "bro science" then this article, but it's interesting and relevant enough to be worth talking about here I think.

nickysielicki. Tom from Utiliz here, thanks for your vote! We are super excited to make the final cut as we realize the opportunity here is skewed towards the north east, great to see the idea connects nationally. Kevin and I have progressed the business significantly since the original post and would welcome any Q&A on the idea and our current activity - Tom

The fact that the tech press is a glorified PR copy machine doesn't mean we shouldn't hold them to real standards.

Maybe some will rise to the challenge.
Dropbox (YC S07) | Sydney, Australia | Full-Time | On-site

Position: Enterprise Solution Architect

As you know, Dropbox has changed the way millions of people work, collaborate and keep their information safe. The APAC part of the business, run out of Sydney, is expanding and we are looking for talentented and passionate technologists to join the pre-sales team.

As a Solutions Architect in our Enterprise Sales team, you’ll play a huge role in bringing on board new enterprise clients and in the region our customers include some of the most prestigious brands.

However, whats more important, Dropbox a really delightful place to work; team work and hard (but satisfying) work go hand in hand, creativity is not only rewarded but its encouraged and nurtured. The culture is one of openness and transparency. We get a lot of perks but we also try hard to earn them and live up to the high standards we've set.

This role has you working with clients of different sizes through their Dropbox evaluation - you'll be doing presentations, workshops, code, deployment plans and more.. You'll be covering digital workplace, security, APIs, deployments, data migration, the future of work and more. One one end you will be doing really deep hairy technical stuff and other and on the other end of the scale you will be having C-level business centric conversations.

What we're looking for is essentially someone who:

- Is passionate about technology and the future

- Craves being in front of the customer, solving their problems

- Has a deep technical hands-on foundation - presales or consulting

- Works best in a fast paced environment where creativity and new thinking is table stakes

- Loves Dropbox, SaaS and the future of collaboration

- Has real-life experience / battle scars

- Wants to (and can) work in Sydney (we're all more or less based here)

The interview process can seem a bit overwhelming (about 5-7 or so interviews) but its not that drawn out.

If you're interested hit me up on danieliversen (AT) dropbox (DOT) com - I'll be happy to have a conversation with anyone who reaches out from HN (we're a YC alumni) within the next 2 weeks.

Do you consider people from outside of US?
I recognized and agreed with that in my comment. Just correcting the misconception that they're all weak. Many are good and some have more than one.
Open for fixed price projects and hourly price ($25 an hour).
I said they aren't that important. Obviously, a low GPA (3.0 or less) will get you rejected unless you have mindblowing letters of rec / publications. But, tons of people have high GPAs, so a high GPA is not going to get you into a top program. Also, an average GPA, but great recommendation letters (and/or publications in top venues) will get you into a top program. Interpolate as you will for GPAs between a 3.0 and 3.5.

Also the kind of person who gets papers published or gets great recs is going to be correlated with a high GPA.
Software runs the world does not mean software is not in a bubble.

Housing / real estate are the backbone of the economy. Everyone needs buildings. Does that mean it could never be in a bubble?
The cockpit door is kept locked now, so it's moot. The pilot will land, SWAT team will storm the plane. Done.
>They'll think their space habitat is far more comfortable.

I really, really, really doubt that. People who spend most of their time living on oil rigs now, or people who lived large parts of their lives on ships, did not end up losing the desire for dry land.

Ask HN: Does Twitter sell Crashlytics app usage data to 3rd parties?
Probably late to the party on this one, but I've been trying to think of a common library which ships with native apps and could be used to power stats for places like appannie.com (ie: how would you be able to track numbers of installs across apps which you don't have the data for?)
> the Tax Office would look like the bad guy going after what most people consider a brilliant scientist

Plenty of famously smart and able people have gone to jail for dodging taxes before. In the US, Wesley Snipes spent 3 years in prison for failure to pay taxes between 1999 and 2004. In Australia, Paul Hogan (aka Crocodile Dundee) was named as a defendant in a large tax evasion scheme, which was eventually dropped, but he's since been named in another tax avoidance by the US in cooperation with Switzerland. I can't see, nor understand, how being a famous tax dodger would make someone less likely to be investigated than someone making minimum wage just failing to file taxes.
Oh I wish this were true. I am clocking in 60hrs a week. I work under ridiculous deadlines.
The whole point of the article is that this isn't true. The article says the body resets its metabolism so that it survives on less food, making weight loss more difficult.
It's not that hard, really, just use a call tracing tool. (Doing it without such a tool is very hard, of course, and is not very smart.)

The Rust regex library does use various techniques that RE2 and Go's library also use (and has from the start, that patch is just adding another feature that was missing), but it is generally faster than both of those libraries: take a look at the benchmarks in the link.
Many business have a net-30 policy, so they will not mind sitting on the GD for 30 days until they convert to 30 dollars.

I'll copy a comment from other user:

> What happens if there's a "bank run" where everyone waits for their GD to mature rather than spending it?

In a normal "bank run", the people are afraid that if they don't exchange the bad currency now at a discount, they will get a worse exchange later. But in this case there is a guaranty that waiting only 30 days they will be converted to dollars.

As an AutoMicroFarm co-founder, I think you're exactly right: the idea itself is good, almost too good to be true (a concept my boss blogged about: https://medium.com/@snootymonkey/paul-graham-is-wrong-411fe0...).

I think the market will be obvious when each AutoMicroFarm pays for itself in a year (or even better, a growing season). But, that's a few orders of magnitude away in terms of manufacturing scale.
I don't see them as comparable. A space habitat several kilometers in size with plenty of interior enjoyable space, and managed, perfect weather is nothing like an oil rig. And its better than a cruise ship, and there are people who would love to live permanently on those, although not as crew. Since they aren't down this deep gravity well, they are already more than halfway to anywhere in the neighborhood. For them, visiting The Moon or Venus is vastly more practical. An afternoon spent in Zero G games is always available. Insect pests such as roaches and mosquitoes aren't a problem. Which is why traveling from Earth to the habitat will be subject to such a strict quarantine.
We're processing the opinions rather than the courts, so we're dealing with millions of documents. Since we're building a network of their citations, it winds up being way too much data to hold in memory on a single node, hence the need for Spark.

I understood the important obvious parts of Bitcoin at one point, but haven't cared enough to retain that knowledge perfectly well. But I gather the key plot points of this fiasco revolve entirely around simple public-key cryptography- underneath all this mess about genesis blocks and transaction hashes, the issue is that Craig hasn't shown us he can encrypt messages with any of Satoshi's special private keys. (Correct me if I'm missing something there.) That, along with a two-sentence "public-key cryptography is magic that lets you..." primer, could be explained to any interested highschool graduate in a short blog post... by someone who cared more about being understood than generating ad revenue, at least.
Payroll is a huge headache. I worked at a California-based company that hired a Canadian, and I think they spent more money sorting out all the legal/financial issues than they paid him.
Let me be the first to say what a lot of my startup/YC dork friends are only going to say privately on Slack:

If you're not going give Pinboard one of the two HN/YCF slots, because Maciej is HN-famous or too well-established, then just make a third slot for him. This is the cheapest access you will ever get to Maciej Ceglowski.

YC came up with an interesting idea and actually tried it. Something interesting happened as a result. Let's see where it goes!
Broadly disagree with you here.

How long have you spent looking into it?

I wrote an academic paper on Bitcoin; now, I don't understand e.g. the detailed cryptanalysis of SHA256, which it uses. But I've a pretty solid understanding of how, given the availability of such hashing functions, and assuming they live up to their promises, you build a distributed ledger from them, and what some of the properties of that ledger might be. Not every implementation detail, but the high level principles.

I reckon most folk with degree or grad level CS education (or equivalent) would get to around that point in a few weeks (full-time?) study, probably less. (Given we can read the Bitcoin paper, nice explanations of it etc - not if we had to invent it ourselves.) I even think I've explained the main principles successfully to technical friends over the course of a few hours.

Yes, you don't just read a blog and understand how the whole system works, but thats true of many systems. Compare understanding Paxos (I'd say this is harder?), or DynamoDB, etc.

IMO there's nothing especially mysterious about Bitcoin here. Its clever, and its too complicated to explain in a paragraph in a media article, but its not an order of magnitude more complex than comparable distributed systems.
15 Lyrical Reasons to Love a Former Pop-Punk Kid
I ran D1 track in college and our strength coach advised us to take cold showers before lifting as a way of warming up and calming down, but mostly calming down. He said it was a good idea before races too.

The guy was absolutely ripped so I'd believe what he says, and he usually backed it up with studies.
Your journal wouldn't ever be considered prestigious or even moderately average if you're re-publishing old articles instead of publishing actual novel research.

You could create a newsletter that's useful to some, but if anyone would consider to publish their new research findings in your journal, then that would be bad for them since it wouldn't be considered anywhere equal to a "proper" publication (since you openly claim to accept non-novel findings as well) and would also prevent them from ever publishing it in any "better" journal since that would not be unpublished research any more.

In practice new good journals are generally started by (sub)communities who know each other and feel that [a topic of] their discipline is not adequately covered by the existing journals. This means that since day 1 they have (a) a source of good new papers that they will want to send there and not elsewhere - the whole reason for them founding the journal, (b) a pool of respected and knowledgeable editors/reviewers (the same community), and (c) initial interest of the community who would all read (and cite) the journal. Given that, the only missing part is recognition by various indexes and funding agencies, which will arrive within a few years (3-5?) if the new journal is well run, productive and gets appropriate citations outside of it.
Some people can't afford to fly, ya know.

Great discussion. What I was trying to capture was the difference between businesses that wouldn't be possible without the tech they are using and businesses which could operate but would perhaps be less efficient or perhaps less profitable. I certainly agree it is an arbitrary distinction and one which has been debated literally for decades in the SF Bay Area at least.

But I don't think that being arbitrary makes it invalid, the goal is simply to put a stake in the ground so that the conversation can move forward. One of the challenges of having discussions about tech bubbles or tech economies is agreeing on what companies are considered (by the speaker) to be tech companies, and which are not. Then the listener can translate that into their own set of companies and look past the definitional challenge and then on to the meatier question of the role of technology in the economy and the businesses that are currently considered valuable by that economy (or not).
There are many ways that both WA and Telegram can be subverted/backdoored/messed up. What it really comes down to, is who do you trust? Do you trust WA or Telegram? Personally, I trust WA a lot more than Telegram since WA has Moxie on their team and Telegram says, "Trust us" and a very unreasonable security challenge. I naturally don't trust people that say "Trust us" and put up unreasonable security challenges.
Truth! Most people just don't realize because they've never done it.

Side note: it makes me very sad and disappointed to see comments like this downvoted. Do we not claim to value rationalism and the scientific method here? Take the challenge: weigh your food and yourself and log it, and see if you can disprove CICO. If you can, there's a Nobel prize in physics awaiting you!
That was my bad, I forgot to list it on the application. We've been using the name Feynman Nano as a way of paying respect to the godfather of nanoscience and the first nanoscience entreprenuer (or so I've been told, haven't been able to verify).

How to Start a Profitable Blog: Attractive Design That Makes Money
That's just a recognition of reality, though. The Democrats are so dominant these days the party primary is the election. They thought it might be nice to hold the election on election day.
Yeah, this could also work. But now Mozilla needs to convince the government...
My guess is that he just lost the keys in the usual hard-drive crash or forgot-the-password sense. This was a research project, remember. Did Satoshi have any reason to think the early coins he mined would become this valuable in real currency terms?

Having lost the keys, he now has zero incentive to reveal himself. Consider how many people would never believe him if he came forward and said his keys were lost. It would suck to have everyone think you're a billionaire when you're not. The only rational option for Satoshi may be to cry himself to sleep every night and take his secret to his grave.
Runtime doesn't necessarily mean "can't call from other languages". Languages with runtimes can still conform to C ABI on that arch.

You can call Go from C, or even from Java on Android out-of-the-box (and Objective C on iOS), for example.

Not that I am a big fan of this particular law/result, but I want to highlight the second half of your sentence:

That is something the HN crowd does not seem to understand/respect. Most of us enjoy the personal protection of the law yet we want to whip up a webapp and have no laws apply to us.
Unfortunate naming collision with Cello: High Level C: http://libcello.org/
Former Soviet states have lower incomes, which means both a smaller ability to pay for services, as well as a lower cost of providing services (building and maintaining infrastructure, installation, support, those types of wages) on behalf of the ISP.

Other European states that were never Soviet also have much cheaper much faster average internet connections than the US... but these places are much smaller and more easily connected and maintained, I suppose.

Anyway, the picture isn't so black and white, maybe we get screwed in the US, but maybe we don't or not as badly as you suggest.

Tangentially, I am amazed you can get unlimited satellite cell internet for $125/mo from Iridium now, I'm sure that plan is slow as molasses but... its global and that's amazing to me.
Come to think of it, why doesn't a WebRTC connection on something like appear.in prompt for Network permission?

According to what you linked there, the factory of record was 49% owned by government entities. Is that the "free market" at work?

Some businesses have done bad things. Many more do good things. Not sure what the point is? Do some bad accidents mean the free market doesn't work?

Meanwhile, across the way, HNers are screaming about the Brazillian government enforcing laws regarding WhatsApp...

As the question is about a side-project, does the book also dive into languages that compile into another relatively high-level language (i.e. C) apart from writing a language the compiles directly into assembly? I'm more interested in building something light-weight to understand the general process than building something completely from the ground up.
The reality is still a few big telcos/ISPs operating the infrastructure, so government has zero problems mandating filtering/wiretapping/blocking.

And since laying fiber is expensive, and putting up sats is even more expensive, and running a mesh through the continent is pretty unfeasible, we're stuck with these economically optimal big targets (the ISPs/telcos).

As long as there is a network operator with access to core and edge routers, blocking is easy. And by the nature of BGP and the Internet you'll always know who to ask next to filter something.

Or you can use Tor and-or a VPN. Multi-homing for times like this should be set up by default in operating systems.

Sounds like a great idea.

I used to run a similar service called Audio Vine.

You'd start by picking one song. Then you were given 4 choices for the next song, which were derived from Last.fm's "similar song" API. If you didn't make a selection by the end of the song, one of the four options were chosen at random.

It ended up being a very pleasant experience, a semi-randomized radio that gave the user the ability to steer the direction. The service also ended up producing this neat tree graph (done in D3) in which you could go back and traverse unexplored nodes.

We had an agreement with Grooveshark to stream from their music database, so unfortunately, when they went down, so did Audio Vine. But man, that was a fun project.
