You aren't paying attention. Trump is friendly with Russia. Clinton is hostile with Russia. Remember how "Bush lied to invade Iraq"? I see the same thing happening here with Clinton camp blaming Russia for the DNC e-mails leak. President Hillary is preparing the American people for a possible WW3 with Russia. She's clearly showing her intentions.

Yes, because Jony Ive's "fixes" are so incisive.

If Jony Ive worked at Tesla, their cars would have a one-mile range. Have you ever heard this pompous hack weigh in on why the iPhone doesn't need a usable battery?
I haven't read the full paper, so this is only speculation.

I expect they would have counted the number of times the volunteers claimed to have seen a photon, both when a photon was emitted, and when they only said that one was emitted.

If the detection rate is significantly higher for "real" emissions than for the "fake" emissions, then you can draw a statistically significant conclusion (aside from the fact that there were only 3 test subjects).

Triton: Large water cooling infrastructure architecture by Dell
In the typical psychophysical study on perceptual thresholds, participants are given a two-alternative forced-choice test: a stimulus (here, a photon) is placed in one of two intervals at random, and the participant guesses which interval had the photon. Using this design, a bias that systematically selects one response more often than the other will lead to performance below chance. Finding that performance is significantly better than chance is evidence that the observer can detect a single photon. Demonstrating that performance is reliably above chance requires many trials because the level of performance is close to chance. Compare this to a yes/no design, where a bias can create the appearance of an ability to detect a single photon where there is none.

The reason for waiting 40 minutes is that the eye and brain adapt to darkness. If this experiment were performed outside in daylight, it would be impossible to detect a difference of 1 photon. Only when the observer sits in a room without light can the brain adapt and have its greatest sensitivity to light.

Finally, note that the logic of this study is an existence proof that people can detect single photons. Selecting three normal observers and finding that all of them have this capability is reasonable evidence that most normal observers can do the same, unless you have some specific reason to believe that these observers are unrepresentative of the population (as the researcher in the press release did re gender differences).
There is no need for an alternative. You could go all vanilla with a polyfill for fetch.

I thought only Republicans believe in conspiracy theories! Remember how "Bush lied to invade Iraq"? I see the same thing happening here. President Hillary is preparing the American people for a possible WW3 with Russia. She's a war hawk, advocated for a no-fly zone over Syria, and favors escalating hostility with Russia. You were warned.
Maybe it's because I'm a little bit over forty, but for me only a few days working 10 hours a day (plus a significant commute) decreases my productivity significantly. That is at least if I have to work on more that one project at a time. If I don't have to switch tasks and it is relatively straightforward work I can probably manage for a few weeks, but not much longer and I know that I'll definitely hate my life.
Can you provide a bit more context to what you mean?
One concern might be... Could you spot someone who was working well past the point of diminishing returns? That's the one reason I can think of for a manager to pay some attention to working hours -- other than that, results are everything.

Hi there! I'm Carlos, founder of Quaderno (https://quaderno.io). Thanks for the referral, Keats.

I built Quaderno two years ago because I was tired to deal with payments, invoicing, accounting, and tax rules (specially now when there are more and more digital taxes worldwide) in my past projects. My goal was to automate the whole accounting process for any SaaS.

Of course you can use your own billing system, but as Josh from Baremetrics say, "the danger in building internal tools is not that it saves an insignificant amount of cash, but that if stifles future cash" (Full article: https://baremetrics.com/blog/build-it-buy-it).

If you have any questions about Quaderno or how to manage payments for SaaS, please let me know. Happy to help.

I guess that's why contracting is a win-win situation since contractors have to take care of their own taxes and they typically get paid double or more (which usually more than offsets the taxes for the contractor).

Contracting feels like you're only selling your time. With full-time work, you're also selling a big chunk of your freedom (which you don't get paid for unless you get % equity in the company).
If you see anything it would mean that the photon had been entangled with your retina, your visual nerve and your brain. All those being macroscopic objects, you could not see any quantum behavior.

I'm not sure what would you expect to see anyway. A photon in two places at once? That's not how it works. The wave function tells you where a particle can be detected, and that can be in several places, but in the end it is only actually detected in only one of those places.
I think women liking tall men is pretty much universal which would lead to them getting taller and taller though evolution. As they men aren't all extra tall there are presumably counter factors like tall people needing more food in famines or having back problems I'd imagine. I heard someone say the average Frenchman used to be taller but Napoleon put a lot of the tall ones in his army and then lost them in battle.

If there is no measurable difference, then a bonus cannot be paid out according to this scheme. So we're talking about innovative ideas that release an extra reward (in addition to a regular salary), if they result in a measurable saving somewhere.

For example: you write an algorithm in your spare time that more efficiently packs together a good that your company produces, such that shipments take up 10% less volume thus saving ~10% on shipping.

Show HN: A Pitfall Playing Agent
This is a Pitfall! playing agent. The emulator Javatari.js was used as a platform for this and modified to have the needed hooks and behaviors.

The algorithm is very simple. Each screen is treated as a separate level. Commands are randomly chosen, and anything that helps the agent move forward is saved. If the score goes down or the player's height goes below the surface, the game resets and a bit of history is trimmed.

If they had not detected even once, then your points hold. But they did detect, so the point is that they were able to see? What more do you want? It simply shows that people can sense photons. Maybe not all the time, but sometimes for sure.
The original iPhone was, in fact, carrier subsidised. Apple got a cut of the special monthly contract required to use it. If I remember correctly, they had to offer an unlocked version in a few countries and it was several hundred dollars more.

> Most religions promote "us vs them" attitudes

That is right, but I suspect, that if it weren't for religion, people would find another narrative, to create a "us vs them" attitude. Nationalism is an example that comes without religion, racism is another, and I suspect a plentitude of isms, that can be used for that.

I think, religion is mereley a vector for marginalization, not the problem in itself.

According to the FAA's latest regulations published in June, every commercial drone needs its own remote operator, the operator needs to maintain a visual line of sight with the drone at all times, and the drone cannot fly over people who are not involved in its operation. These rules seem to make Amazon's drone delivery project a non-starter in the U.S. for now. Perhaps the UK has more lenient regulations.

The complete summary of rules is here:

Items which are 'Fulfilled By Amazon' are actually stored in Amazon's warehouses. The seller just ships a bulk order of the item to the warehouse any time stock gets low.

I agree. Namecheap currently only supports SMS 2FA. I'm abroad with a local sim in my phone so I registered my Google Voice # with them. It would really suck if I had to carry my USA sim at all times and swap it anytime I wanted to login to those accounts.

Ideally they'd support the standards so I could just use one of the many standard OTP apps

I'm curious, do people still consider it "two factor authentication" when you have a mobile device generating (or receiving via SMS) one-time codes and that same mobile device syncing passwords?

For example, if your web browser or password manager is syncing your passwords to your mobile phone, and that's the same phone the SMS codes or TOTP app runs on, is this completely circumventing the whole concept of "two factors"?

Why is Trump the Republican nominee?

People wielding institutional power do have conscious and unconscious biases. It's not racist to point that out. But you do seem to have an unusual definition of the term, so I'm not quite sure what you have in mind there. Are you trying to suggest a comparison with what Trump is doing? If Trump has evidence that institutions controlled predominantly by people with Mexican ancestry are systematically discriminating against white Americans, then he should make it public.

The "racist algorithms" thing sounds made up.

"The eight-hour day movement or 40-hour week movement, also known as the short-time movement, was started by James Deb and had its origins in the Industrial Revolution in Britain, where industrial production in large factories transformed working life.

- I have another friend that is responsible for HR on a small business (not rocket science kind of job). While bachelor he used to select possible hires by photo. His boss was aware of it and wouldn't oppose, treating it as a kind of 'perk' for my friend..

TLDR: Humans seem to be more helpful to potential attractive mates.

You're naive. There are rumours that Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to run, an attempt to scare people to vote for Hillary. If Hillary wins, she'll be president for 8 years. The DNC won't kick her out, and she's too well connected and smart to face accountability for her actions. The Clintons are above the law. If Trump wins, he'll do such a bad job as president that the Dems could win in 2020 with a better candidate. It's either 8 years of Clinton or 4 years of Trump: your choice.
