My anecdote is actually from 15 years ago... And the eggs were only spectacular the first year I bought from that farmer. He'd expanded his flock of birds - I think the chickens got more grain, less bugs.

The labor markets are potentially comparable, though the reasons for the shortages are perhaps difference. I mostly just references Spain on the off chance that maybe the reasons are related.

I've superficially glanced at mu. It seems to have even more awesome stuff than I realized. But still: you're basically programming in glorified assembly. You can't add three numbers without splitting the thing into two statements. Is this really a pleasant way to program? I think this may be a good way to teach programming, but only because no one writes big programs when starting out. On the other hand, you claim to have written the UI in mu itself, so maybe I'm just plain wrong here. (Or did I misread that?)
Here in EU, ironically, the talk these weeks is about German Banks... yeah, I too was surprised.

Thorsten Joachims gave a talk at Amazon Machine Learning Conference 2015, about doing specifically that. That may be what someone was talking about. I've been trying to find the paper related to the work, but am struggling to find it.
Speaking HTTP is worse in almost every way to using CGI: harder to implement, loses meta information (suppose you put an application at /app/ on your server... CGI handles it well, HTTP doesn't unless you do some extension since your server will see GET / anyway) and is harder to centrally log too.

I think app servers speak HTTP more because it is kinda convenient for developers to run the local server without setting up the http server.. convenience rather than superiority.
I don't follow your logic. A 7 year old swallows drain cleaner, so we should ban drain cleaner? A shame that happened, but irrelevant to the discussion.

You think that by banning opiates no one will get opiates? The methadone clinic two blocks from my apartment, and the people who panhandle around it and the subway station, and the needles I walk past when I cut through the tennis court, do not show the government's laws are solving the problem. As a physician you may see the emotional side, but logically I would love to hear your solutions to the problem.
What's the source for that, and how do they define "startup"?
You're saying that cover is insulting to clowns?

Having lived most of the past 15 years in Italy, I think a lot of the criticism is justified.

The amazing thing to me is that, at least on iOS, the game is pretty objectively bad.

Of course that hasn't stopped me from sinking a lot of time into it this weekend. I've spent $10 on it, which is easily a record for free to play game for me.

The server issues are one thing, but the game doesn't even get lots of basic things right. If the server goes away, or sometimes if I'm just out of the app too long, I have to log back in. It seems to forget my settings for weather I want sound and music on, or to use the AR functions. I've run into numerous crashes and graphical glitches. Input getting confused requiring app restarts. Poor handling of the (common) network/server issues.

One of the mechanics requires walking around, which it won't track outside the app despite the fact that iPhones have had motion coprocessor for years. So they offer a special mode (very poorly documented) that basically turns the screen black and tries to reduce power usage a bit. But you have to keep the Pokémon app open to track steps.

I am having fun. I REALLY hope they can fix these issues. I sought earlier today that they do plan to add Pokémon trading and expand the functionality of the various waypoints in the world. I'd also love to be able to battle my friends.

The social aspect on this just amazes me. In the last couple of days they're been numerous times when I saw a random people clearly playing this game. Guys walking around parking lots at work, cars parked at empty banks that were closed because there happened to be a gym there. Numerous posts on social media about random gatherings and flash mobs because of something going on in the game.

It's clear that Ingress had a pretty good idea. Tying it to a major brand (not unlike the way Mario kart was created) that really encourages the collecting aspect and getting it out on iOS at basically the same time have clearly made a huge difference.

I'll also say, is a Pokémon fan I'm glad that it's only the 150 original in the game. At this point there are way too many Pokémon that seem the same to me, so I'm glad to see my old friends instead. I imagine that'll change someday but this is a good start.
Machine Money and People Money
It's an iPhone 4 with a broken mic which I got for free. It's too old to run a lot of distracting apps (VSCO, Snapchat etc) and I can't call people. I have a $20/month (AUD) prepaid plan for 1GB data which gets me through easily. I guess it can only figuratively run maps/camera, but it's enough to keep me from using it 24/7. Battery also lasts several days because I use it so little.

As a layman when it comes to statistics and academia, this is the first I've heard of "publication bias". It seems like a pretty big problem at first glance, especially if it recurses and calls into question meta-analysis being done to investigate the presence of the bias itself. Sounds like a massive headache.

If this problem is as big as it sounds, what are the repercussions?
Thinking about it from a biological perspective is quite intriguing. I agree, 'Shunt' is indeed fun to say and the monosyllabic nature is a sure plus.

I wonder if it has too much of a negative tone as it is very similar to 'shun'. Thoughts?
Unlikely, as the invisible hand will float entry housing prices/rent payments to the level affordable by basic income.
It's a swiping game. Comparison is valid.
I just came back from a walk to a large nearby park, and there were dozens of people playing. It struck me as interesting they were mostly groups of friends, and not people playing by themselves.
What? Source?
Piracy is incredible popular, and yet I can't see it being some sort of legal force...
Engagement is crazy right now. I drove home at 3am last night and stopped by a PokeStop, and as I was leaving the parking lot, another car pulled in just to play... Same at the church by my place 15 minutes later. Different car.

What will really be telling is how many people still play after a week or two.

Can't read due to paywall. Just curious, do people actually subscribe to WSJ or other paywall sites?
Can someone provide a link to a non-paywalled version of the article? Or better yet, suggest a way so myself and others can find non-paywalled versions in the future on our own?
The point of laws is not to make an undesirable behaviors disappear. The point of laws is to discourage undesirable behaviors, and, hopefully, reduce their incidence. There are still thieves and murderers and rapists and pedophiles out there. Yet we don't just throw our hands in despair and claim that we should just remove all laws off the books because some people break the law. True, some people will get opiates even if opiates are banned. However, overall fewer people will get opiates, and overall fewer opiates will be sold.

Logically, I would love to hear your solution to the problem...

To escape paywall:

1. Google the title

2. Select the result directly from Google News

3. Right click on the article link, copies the link, put it in the browser. In the end, the link looks like this:

That's standard word2vec, not an RNN.
First, switch it to alternative screen mode... printf("\033?1047h"); then clear and move and such with other similar prints. See the list here : http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html

It really is pretty simple. The big benefit of ncurses is if you want to target terminals other than xterm compatible ones, and they are so rare nowadays that you can really just ignore them....

Input is quite a pain though (however, ncurses sometimes get it wrong too), but the same thing applies, you just need to switch to raw mode with tcsetattr and then have some kind of select() loop or something to watch for escape sequences then translate them into interesting key presses.

Mouse events are the same btw: you write out a sequence to turn them on, then the terminal sends them as sequences to stdin.

I wrote a terminal library myself for the D programming language (and a terminal emulator too!), it is kinda ugly code but it isn't hard.
It doesn't matter. The facts are the facts and the Italian banking system is in big trouble.

That's odd, according to my wife there is lots help for having children. I know that here in Mie all doctor visits are free, all recommend vaccines as well. Day care is subsidized and based on income, 3rd kid is free. And we get a monthly stipend of 2万(not exactly sure about tje number, wife puts it in saving).

I remember insurance paying at lesst part of the birth costs, but my wife had an atypical pregnancy. I seem to remember having to pay then getting money back. At work now, I will find out.
This is really amazing work.

OK, I'll supply a citation, which argues the opposite. See the Wikipedia page on "radiation hormesis". Scroll down to "cobalt 60 exposure".

TL,DR: Many apartments in Taiwan were radioactive, because the steel in the structure had been mixed in with 60Co. Residents got big doses of gamma rays. And yet they didn't get much cancer! It turns out that no, gamma rays are not good for you; rather, most residents were young, biasing the sample (few young people get cancer). The study didn't account for this bias.
Superforecasting for Active Investors
> Unfortunately, most of our overdoses in North America are from prescribed opiates.

A more relevant metric would be number of overdoses per number of total doses, no?

If there are 50x more prescription opiate users than heroin users and 10x more prescription overdoses than heroin ones that still implies heroin is more dangerous.
No... It is absolutely caused by diet. Exercise is a factor, but only because you're expending the calories you brought into your body in the first place.

I wonder if the item vectors capture semantics and behave in a way analogous to word vectors. So, for example, would a PS4 - a PS4 controller = an XBox - an XBox controller, the same way France - Paris = Greece - Athens? Something along these lines could maybe be used as a way to find relevant addons/upsells to show on the checkout page.

Satoru Iwata – 1999 Developer Interview
very few economists agree that raising the minimum wage by X dollars will result in prices rising by X dollars so that the effect is non-existent

You are looking for obvious increase in prices, but raising prices is unpopular with consumers.

Instead, companies will move the production offshore, lay people off, make smaller packages [2], use machines, use cheaper ingredients etc. and those things create the illusion that the price is not rising. Price is the same, but the quality (of goods/services & of life in communities) is going down.

cost of labor isn't the only input in pricing

It's the main one, since the biggest cost to most companies are employees + suppliers (that also have their own employees). Increase in the price of labor will certainly have an effect - if not directly on higher prices, then on quality.

One of the big problems with Ingress was it wasn't available on iOS until maybe a year ago.

Since Google made it I don't exactly blame them, but that was a huge chunk of the market. I wanted to give it a try and I'm sure there were tons of other people but we couldn't since we didn't have Android phones.

That's not an issue with Pokémon GO.

> Legalizing drugs seems to reduce the risk for dealers, now having their posh addiction-driven business at the mall

The margins on legal good are a whole lot less than illegal ones. You'd be putting most dealers out of business overnight by legalizing.
I meant older not necessarily used. The problems with old homes: bugs, mice, cracks in the foundation, poor plumbing, bad electrical work, small closets, weird rooms, old windows, mold, rotten woodwork, and on and on and on. It takes a lot of time and money to address these issues. The problem is you won't necessarily be able to fix all the problems and still get your money back unless you sit on it for 20 years. The house has to remain price competitive with all the newer homes that simply don't have as many issues. That drives the price of the older homes down and limits how much work you can put into it without putting yourself underwater.

None of these problems are insurmountable, for sure, but they do have the effect of limiting what we can comfortably do with our home. If we make all the repairs we want, we have to sit on it or potentially lose a good chunk of our money if we are forced to sell early. That goes right back to the heart of this discussion and the lack of flexibility in labor markets.
I feel that if they don't get the server issues under control soon (I saw they delayed the European lunch) then it doesn't matter what WOULD have happened the game is going to lose players in the social/network effects won't be there.
I agree, my first thought in seeing this headline, even the applicable market of people is much, much bigger for Pokemon GO. In addition to the entire market of Tinder, there's also kids and married people.
>Read more of history. It could go a way towards non-cartoonifying your philosophical opposition and making flawless (in your mind) your position. And for the record, I lean libertarian.

Arguments that consist of telling people to "read more history", "educate yourself", or similar are totally worthless. You might as well not post. If you have an argument to make, then make it. Otherwise, spare me the snark.

Oh you're the person who called me "too dumb to post here" in another comment in this thread. For someone who is apparently so much more intelligent than me, you seem to have very little of substance to contribute.
I think the real tell will be how many people are still playing in a month. The game can get very expensive, especially if you're in a rural area.

The only good reason I can think of Tinder being used is because it's a well-known app and involves real life social things. I can't think of a well-known game that has in person/real world social interaction like this.

I do hope they rebalance it a bit. The only way to get coins without paying money is to own a gym, which is difficult to do. And less you're willing to go farm a bunch of little Pokéstops then you probably have to buy potions. If there was something equivalent to the Pokécenter then things would be better. It be nice to be able to battle friends to train your Pokémon as well.
A lot of people's lives have Pokemon deeply ingrained in them, and I'm saying that seriously. I think the core community of people who really get into it is much larger than you seem to be expecting. Remember the Pokemon craze of the 90's, and 00's, and this decade? It's all been huge since it came out.
Why don't you list them on sites like themeforest ?
That should get you more customers for the minimum effort.

Your site design needs to be improved. It's confusing right now and some of the menu items do not work.
Why do you think internet advertising is overvalued?

It is only this year that internet advertising is projected to match TV advertising spend. TV advertising has been around ~50 years, and before that we have another ~100 years of print advertising to learn from.

From those historic precedents we can see that advertising is a huge, huge market. It is true that something could surpass internet advertising as the best way to spend that money, but I don't see any viable candidates (I'm including mobile & VR ads in "internet").

AdBlockers - of course - accelerate the trend of the money in the "internet" category going to players like FB where they control the delivery mechanism (ie, deliver ads in a mobile app, where an ad blocker can't reach it on most platforms).
I'm only vaguely familiar with ingress, did it have a collecting mechanic like Pokémon? How did you get stronger to take over points on the map?
You're right that I wouldn't want the whole world to program this way.

That said, it's been surprisingly ergonomic. If it had a compiler and could generate binaries, and if it had parity in libraries with C, I think I would strongly prefer using it to C. The massively increased safety is worth giving up a lot of expressivity for, IMO. No comparison with HLL languages for prototyping, of course. Eventually I hope to get the usual HLLs reimplemented atop it. One subtle point is that since it's refcounted at the Assembly level, any language built atop it requires minimal GC support.

The fact that it's Assembly has caused some confusion with others, so I want to point out that:

a) you can add any number of numbers in a single instruction; that gets handled behind the scenes. Many instructions are variadic where it makes sense.

b) you don't need push/pop/call to call a function, function calls look just like primitive operations.

c) Mu knows about types, so it knows how to allocate them, how to print them, and (eventually) how to serialize/unserialize them. These things can be overridden, but they work out of the box for any new types you create.

d) Mu supports generic types. Here's a generic linked-list, for example: http://akkartik.github.io/mu/html/064list.mu.html. Types starting with underscores are type parameters.

e) You get structured programming by default using the break and loop instructions which translate to jumps just after the enclosing '}' and '{' label, respectively. Factorial in Mu looks surprisingly clean: http://akkartik.github.io/mu/html/factorial.mu.html

What's common to these features is that I could imagine implementing them in a compiler using just machine language and Mu. What I'm trying to avoid is having to write a complex optimizer. These features (I think) don't massively increase the impedance mismatch between Mu and machine code; they can be implemented with basically glorified search-and-replace.

The Mu editor is built in Mu, yes. That's just because I don't have a HLL yet. It's not to say that I think everyone should build apps only in the Assembly layer. It's a little like the early days of C and Unix: until the language got stable people built the original versions of compiler and OS in Assembly. But they were eventually able to move to C.

Filtering air at home has a big impact, because:

- You have a lot of control over your home's internal environment

- You probably spend 1/3 to 1/2 your time at home

It's also challenging:

- All windows and doors must be sealed from draughts to minimise pollution coming in

- Filter machines must be regularly maintained, and filters replaced

- Windows must be opened for short periods (e.g. 20 mins) a couple of times per day, to let bad gases out, and let oxygen in

Sure, you can wear a mask in other environments, but you probably take the mask for many functions (talking with people, eating).
Hit the "web" link above, which will bring up search results, and click over from Google. They can't pull the paywall nonsense when you click from Google, or they'll be delisted for cloaking.

I specifically avoided using a WSJ link on a story that made it to the front page last week because of the paywall, and it was changed to the WSJ link by HN admins because of the "original source" policy. I wasn't particularly thrilled with this because I don't want to encourage paywalls, but apparently they are going to be a part of HN for the foreseeable future. So get familiar with the "web" link - you'll be using it a lot.
