Correct and correct. I am a very pro-free market person; I just tried to explain why working less hours is uncommon, even considering the benefits.
> baldness is treated before malaria because of...

To be fair, the top two baldness treatments were side-effects of drugs aimed at curing more "serious" conditions.

Rogaine was first developed as a cure for ulcers. That didn't work, but the researchers noticed that it served as a vasodilator and it was sold as a treatment for high blood pressure. That didn't work out either, but researchers noticed one weird side effect... [1]

Same for Propecia / Proscar, which started out targeted at prostate growth. It's effective at controlling prostate growth and in this case researchers realized that the same hormone channel that controls prostates (DHT) also affects hair loss. They then set out to find another way to monetize the existing drug.

Attempts to target baldness only have struggled (there has been a line of smaller companies trying to get baldness-only drugs through trials, which have mostly failed.)

I'm not a GPL expert or lawyer, so I'm unable to answer with certainty. However my reading of the GPL is that the recipient does not have a right to sue you at all, it is the copyright holder of the GPL code who has a right to sue you for license infringement. The GPL states that your license to distribute is terminated immediately on infringement (there is some grace window in version 3). I think there could be some damages for the unlawful distribution that would have already happened, but I cannot see how the court can force you to pay for the damages using your proprietary code. I don't know, maybe the original owner is ready to waive damages if you agree to distribute your own code, but that's something you would have to agree to yourself.
All it really requires is opening up port 53 to the internet but I don't know enough about securing a DNS server to take that step yet. I'm intending to continue working on my little offshoot and hopefully it will get to the point you could safely host it on digitalocean/aws/etc.
Yes, but that isn't the main problem. The no-go areas (and the random explosion in what's now someone's farm) are caused by landmines.
For those who are not familiar, or new to, meditation - I want to offer an alternative to "try not to have any thoughts". The reason why I never started meditating for a long time was because I felt it was too hard, and nearly impossible. Well... because it is very difficult. After years and years of meditating and practicing mindfulness, perhaps this is possible, but IMO not a good starting goal.

I prefer to just become an observer of my thoughts; to acknowledge and let them flow; I focus on accepting that they are only thoughts - little impulses. The imagery I often have is that I'm sitting in a clear bubble, and my thoughts are swirling around me: I can see them, and I know they're there, but I do not let them in.

The author seems to think writing a book is necessary for tenure, so he isn't in a STEM field (obviously many STEM professors write books but the vast majority of STEM professors who receive tenure have not written a book).

> He has encouraged neighbors to continue using the land for walks and runs, writing, "I would love to meet you and discuss the project."

He invited them onto the property. The property has been damaged (presumably not be those complaining, but the conspiracy minded will come up with something I'm sure):

> Rhinehart bought the parcel of land beneath the shipping container at auction in December for $21,300, property records show. Since then, neighbors say the container's glass windows have since been smashed and the entire unit has been extensively tagged with graffiti.

He isn't maintaining it. He isn't securing it. I do agree that the community ought to have considered buying it. But he bought it and he's poorly administered his property, to the point now of apparent negligence and potential criminal wrongdoing ("criminal", not sure I agree with that, seems like it should be a civil thing to be me, but they are criminal charges that have been brought up).
In the Last election Erdogan's `party` had 49.5% of votes with %85.18 turnout.
OMG, that's insane (in a bad way). Stacks exploding, hours of optimization, all for a simple factorial (toy problem). Exciting I suppose for a few souls in academia who spend their lives writing papers about theoretical stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Good point, I'm afraid I did forget, and your assumption is correct.
Sure, if you can guarantee that your app will always be in that environment.

Otherwise, you run the risk of having to redo all your protos (+ downtime) if/when your app needs to scale up. I'm not sure whether that's worth avoiding some proto validation logic in the client code.

From https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto#si...:

> Required Is Forever

> You should be very careful about marking fields as `required`. If at some point you wish to stop writing or sending a required field, it will be problematic to change the field to an optional field – old readers will consider messages without this field to be incomplete and may reject or drop them unintentionally. You should consider writing application-specific custom validation routines for your buffers instead. Some engineers at Google have come to the conclusion that using `required` does more harm than good; they prefer to use only `optional` and `repeated`. However, this view is not universal.
How easy is it to temporarily switch it off if a site is broken? Like if they have some crucial JS/CSS served from a blocked domain? I also wonder this with the hosts file approach. Is that kind of flexibility you give up for speed?
> So are the carrots you buy ecpensive?

Not a difficult problem: I just look up the latest local-to-USD conversion rates and do the conversion. If you have a largely cash economy, sure, multiple currencies are a bit of a hassle, but with electronic payments and on-the-fly currency conversion, you can do your accounting in whatever currency you want. It does not get in your way. Having a permanently over- or undervalued currency does.
I do four, and I consider myself lucky if I get to 4 once in the 15 minutes I allot. If I could reliably get to 4 I might try 5.
I remember when I first learnt Python. It seemed so similar to the pseudocode that I was taught to write first when I was working on a problem. As a result, I will often prototype an algorithm first in Python before I try it in something else.
Cars are expensive. Cars are also mostly sitting idle. These are objective facts. For most of the country, the only bill bigger than their combined car payment/maintenance is their mortgage. That's a lot of money.

I think a combination school-bus-for-adults/carpool would have a lot of traction if you could automate it. How much is that gonna cut into the car market? Remains to be seen. But not nothing, for sure. And moving cars into a service model is, in my opinion, gonna make a lot of the pricing more transparent. You want an SUV, you'll have to pay for it per ride. You want your own private car, pay per ride. I think consumers, when faced with spending the extra buck on an a la carte basis, are going to start looking into cheaper options.

Rush hour surges are gonna be a big strain on the system, and I really think that school bus model is going to take off. Everybody going more or less in the same direction at the same time, get on the bus and save a ton of money.

Maybe it just turns multiple car families (the default) into single car families. But even that would be a seismic shift in the auto industry.
I think we should have both private and government financed pharma research. The approval process should be the same for both. If private pharma discovers a drug that is approved - then they should be able to sell it in such a way as to maximize their profits. If government pharma discovers a drug that is approved - then they should be able to provide it at cost.

This way we don't have to worry about new drug discovery drying up because of lack of profits, while at the same time we have a way to allow government funding for actual drugs that could be provided at low cost.

I think this private-public competition will provide both innovation and low prices in the long term.
I like this study.

However, perhaps you should do it again with some Bayesian analysis. It seems as though you neglected the base rate on multiple occasions.

For instance, you showed fewer offers with higher degrees, but you know fewer people have higher degrees. You have to adjust the effect by the applicant pool.

In addition, it seems that people who got offers had a lot more errors than other candidates. I wonder why this might be?
We are talking about different things: you talk about somebody alive today, but basically living in the past. His peers are those in times past, so he is as rich or poor as they were.

I talk about your average “very poor guy“ in a modern society: he is just poor compared to his peers, but rich compared to a lot of people.

But no matter who we are talking about: my point all along is that being poor or rich is a relative measure. To say that a person is poor, you need to state “compared to“. Usually we implicitely compare to the “average contemporary citizen“

I don't know what you're asking for here. Are you asking how many click-throughs there are on a submitted link? Are you asking how many people view the HN page that has the submission on it?

What exactly are you asking for?
I traded in my MMORPG habit for real life crafting. I always loved building stuff, and its way more gratifying when you can actually see, , touch, and use something you made.

I sell small leather goods (wallets, belts, etc...) as a hobby now. Its been fun so far.
Although, the pony is still valid that every programming language has decided to implement its own pkg mgr.

Like all things in languages, the world needs to be reimplemented. Which is too bad, but I also never see a great alternative. Eventually people want everything they work on to be in the same language, which of course has the advantage that anyone in that language can hack on it, but the disadvantage that we always start anew every time a language gets created.
What purpose does the cloudflare captcha serve in that scenario?

And lots of people who aren't Tor users also have to suffer through the captchas every time they visit a CF site.
But it's way easier to enter the dispatch app business than the car manufacturing business, as is demonstrated by Uber's menagerie of competitors.

While car manufacturers are hardly the nimblest they're not brain dead and are already exploring related stuff (example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2016/07/1...)

If we reach a day where there is some company, call them company U which has a successful dispatch app business, and another company, call them company C, which has just successfully demonstrated (and passed regulatory hurdles for) a self driving car, what do you think will be easier and cheaper and quicker? For U to develop/acquire/license self-driving car technology or for C to develop/acquire/license a dispatch app?

C could probably pay very little to license a dispatch app from any of the many vendors. Even if it's not popular before, it will be once it's the only dispatch app that dispatches SELF DRIVING CARS! But if U tried to license self driving from C, U would probably have very little leverage and end up signing a contract where U runs the show but ships most of the revenues to C. C would be like Microsoft in the 80s/90s, and U would be like a generic IBM PC compatible computer vendor.

Either way. Even if the Reichstags fire was indeed the work of a single man - and not orchestrated - the Nazi party used it for what it was worth. Similarly with this coup; if it wasn't staged, it still seems clear that Edrogan is using it for what it's worth in order to usher in/cement his dictator powers?
In Ingress, they had similar partnerships with a few companies. Notably, the sponsored "portals" (the Ingress version of Poke Stops) were only additional locations to get items. They didn't award special items or do anything else differently (ZipCar and Jamba Juice had this agreement with Ingress).

Ingress also had in-game items named after companies, but these items could drop from anywhere and were likely to be added to the game anyway. A couple examples of these are the SoftBank Ultra Link and the "MUFG" (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group) capsule.

I think the only time they had a commercial partnership that gave someone in particular an edge was when they introduced Ultra Strike items, which could initially only be obtained on some Motorola-branded Android devices. These can now be obtained on any device, though.

Given that it's the same team working on Pokemon Go, I think it's unlikely that they'll make things annoyingly intrusive or force you to go to specific Pokestops to get certain items.

Every student considering going to graduate school should read this article. Professors are very misinformed about how likely someone is to get tenure (most of them got it > 20 years ago, in a much better academic job market). This misinformation trickles down to students.

The simple fact is that right now the average professor is graduating more than 10 phd students, only 1 of which can become a tenured professor at a research university. The job options in academia other than tenured professor are horrible and exploitative. I know many post-docs who have gone into industry after slaving away at temporary and low paying jobs for over 6 years. These post-docs were very bright and dedicated people, but the tenure track position requires lots of luck in addition to skill.
> work vs family vs sleep

If I have to make a choice, I always choose sleep. Why? The other two priorities have a one-way dependency on it. I can sleep well while neglecting work or family, but I cannot make a decent contribution to work or family if I do not have enough sleep.
That sounds rather over-optimistic. A currency union is inherently unstable if not matched to a fiscal union. If you're not going to move to a fiscal union (and after Greece, I'm pretty sure there is not the political will to do so), then the Euro union cannot be stable.

Can it survive even if it's unstable? Perhaps. Will it be worth it? That's not for me to say. But you cannot "master the crisis" with the Euro zone without a fiscal union.
I find it strange that people allow juice. If the purpose is to get your blood sugar down for a consistent stretch then juice would mess that up. I'd rather it a small high fiber, low sugar snack, like some brown rice with vegetables, than drink an equivalent amount of calories in juice form.

I guess maybe the idea is the juice sugar gets digested quickly and you're back to empty, whereas the rice would stick around. I guess it's a question of whether it's better to go up to a 10 and then back down to a zero, or go to a 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

>Repetition is good, of course, but isn't a replacement for good science in the first place.

Repetition is science.

>Define repetition.

Google says: "the recurrence of an action or event."

Science requires 1) a prediction of an observation 2) repeated observation consistent with the prediction.

If there is no repeated observation of what was predicted, it is not science.

>But everyone believes the results, and believes that they represent the Higgs.

It doesn't matter what is believed. "Everyone" used to believe all kinds of things, that doesn't mean that those things were true, or accurate. Repeated observation of prior predictions is all that matters.

>When it costs billions to construct your experiment, sometimes reproducing the exact same thing can be hard.

That doesn't excuse, or allow in, things that haven't been reproduced.
Very interesting points! Thank you for that counter :) And yes, Taleb has shown to be a very confident writer...

I'm not sure I live on the same planet, or even the same universe as you. On my planet most people have an incredibly strong anti-market bias and lots of people strongly and loudly deride competition. Nor is "pure competition" (whatever that is) at the foundation "of the whole society". Instead, the various societies in my world vary to the degree that they believe that competition, particularly economic competition, is important. But very few of them consist of even a large fraction of people that think competition should 'permeate everything'. Nor are there any societies in which a small number of elites have managed to permeate everything with competitiveness.

There is however a form of competition that does permeate everything. I refer of course to competition for (relative) status. But still, characterizing it as 'permeating everything' is just hyperbole. It is pervasive and sometimes (if not often) pernicious, but in fact, in my universe at least, most of the world has improved remarkably in a short span of recent time and any even-more-recent backsliding is pretty close to insignificant in comparison to the slightly less recent improvements.
Holy hell, that's quite a transformation. Congrats to you.

Yes, that's the biggest thing that's under-stressed about exercise: the benefits are not just physical/health related. Like you, exercise has made me far less averse to interacting with people, and resulted in me being more outgoing, more open meeting new people, and just living a better life as a result.

There's a book called Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain that relates that if exercise came in pill form, it would be plastered across the front page, hailed as the blockbuster drug of the century – purely on cognitive/psychological benefits alone. That really drove it home for me.

Don't just workout for health reasons. Workout for life reasons.
There's a lot of research and commentary addressing the benefits of play for adults. I'm having a devil of a time recultivating it for myself too though. I mean, I have hobbies, I have pasttimes. But "play," like it means for a kid, I am not there yet. I hope to get there.
I just wrote a comment in another thread about bug bounties being cheap. Assuming you work 8 hours a day, your hourly salary would be $83,3. Wow!

Do you think your frequency is somewhat maintainable? I myself dream about working full time with bug hunting but have only gotten to a point where I report a few bugs on a hobby basis. To me it feels weird skipping my consultant salary for small payments and sometimes even a "good job dude, here's a t-shirt".
What I find so interesting is why is the oxygen on Earth 21% why not 5%.

I can understand why not 90% since it's so reactive but 21% seems so high. Even more so now in modern times with seven billion people and billions of other animals plus industrialization I'd expect atmospheric oxygen to be falling rapidly.

We humans are pretty lucky to be able to breath, thank you ocean algae! Honorable mention to trees, good job.
Same, any hour long competitive game is too much for me. It feels like a complete waste of time. I only have fun playing games like battlefield now for 20 minutes while listening to music.

What about a proprietary fork of Linux itself, had it not been copylefted? One that added compelling features and forbade copying back?

Conceivably, it could have been a significant competitor. Say, Ubuntu being born like that.
Oh wow, you weren't joking. I've been lifting weights since I was a teenager. I'd only consider myself an intermediate, but pretty good on strength scales and general fitness. At 180lb and 8%-9% body fat, I was expecting to see someone well behind me in terms of physique. Not so much.
It's funny because I do work at SIG (Dublin, Ireland), and we do know a few folks from Continuum personally.

For a quant role, even if in the end it is likely to involve a lot of hardcore low level coding, you're (generally) expected to have a PhD in math/phys/stat/eeng though, that's the rules. For developers roles I don't know all the details. But one thing for sure, we're hiring for quant roles pretty aggressively right now :)

Taking a sabbatical. I was burnt out from working, and I was getting that "unfulfilled" feeling, feeling a little lost. I took a 2 month "trial" sabbatical, then quit my job for good after coming back for a few months. That was a few years ago and I'm now on my second sabbatical. I'm poorer financially of course, but much richer personally, having a more positive outlook on life, and most importantly much, much happier.
If enough people blocked ads via DNS, I wonder how long it would be before we saw advertisers using plain IP addresses instead of DNS hostnames.

I made an exception for sites I was going to immediately use 1Password's autofill with, trusting its URL validation to save me from fakes. I hadn't considered that merely loading a malicious URL could cause trouble. I think I'll have to reconsider my policy on that.
The only difference is how easy it is to aim the blame. Thousands of people are dying either way.

The bad things in the article were the inner-platform effect and that the inner-platform was especially terrible (no comment support, tons of boilerplate, abuse of the project's own source control, lack of dev/production split). I really don't think the concept of versioned dependencies was one of the bad parts.

Switch jobs. Was in the same company for 8 years. Learned everything they had there, liked everyone. But decided try to interview a few places, due to my buddy nagging me, so gets some credit. But once I started, got some good offers, a good raise and now like the new position. Thinking back, I should have done in maybe 3 or so years back.

It is just that there is so much stuff happening in technology that it is almost a disservice to yourself (if your goal is to explore and learn new things) to always just stay in one place. It also happens to be one of the best way to get a good salary bump.
