This is the comment I've been looking for.

Even aside from evolution - we are reliant on our gut microbe to survive. Unfortunately, in some cases, what makes us sick is stuff from our gut microbe! We're literally a biome unto ourselves - and who knows what would happen if we removed all X. Our immune systems are pretty damn good at killing stuff off, and we've also seen that the elimination of worms (ew) from our biome may have cause or contributed to a number of autoimmune conditions.

This sounds very much like an unintended side effects scenario. I definitely agree that we need to eliminate lethal and incapacitating conditions. However getting rid of "all disease"... it may cause more problems than it solves.

And then there's the sociological angle too

> Hiding the option from BIOS menu is absolutely enough to "ensure Intel specific drivers are used for power management purposes".

It absolutely is not enough, because I can come up with a single contrary case.

If this change was made in a BIOS update, simply hiding the option would leave some users stuck in the "wrong" setting forever. So one might write some code to flip it back at the same time.

This is the simplest way of fixing the problem. It doesn't need any assumption of maliciousness or incompetence. It's just unfortunate for Linux users, since they clearly didn't get any consideration when this fix was written, that's all.
“and that's how Madoff became a household name”
Exactly. What's my personality like? Well, under what conditions? If I'm stressed I'm different to when I feel calm and safe. What if I'm talking to the apprentices at work, who I've told eight times already not to do something, how do they perceive my personality. And then five minutes later I'm in the bosses office acting like a completely different person.

Complete baloney.
Same here, it's simply working!
"The top 5 global pharma companies spent 42 billion USD on R&D in 2015 alone."

Pharmacy companies are are not aiming to cure diseases, they aim to invent drugs that make good money. Eradicating diseases is harmful to their business.
Well, I only judged by scaled down web photos, maybe it's the compression artifacts. But real bokeh seems to do something else than gaussian blur. For example,

> A small light source will be rendered as an aperture shaped figure with quite well defined edges in bokeh; but gaussian blur renders it as a spot with fading edges. In bokeh, noise is present at the same level as in in focus parts of image with same luminance; gaussian blur kills noise, so there'll be less noise than in non blurred parts of image. In bokeh, light areas will dominate over dark ones, while gaussian blur preserves the ratio of dark light areas.

Yeah, I have been seeing it for a few weeks now and was actually looking for an announcement - I thought it was a bit weird when I didn't find one. The indicator not being shown for non-logged in users is probably just a consequence of a staged rollout.
I have found another one with 6 which seems far less crude and has also statistic "proofs": http://www.comcolors.com/en/
Maybe the connection speed has gone up and as a result facebook (and other video services) serves HD where it used to serve low-res video.

This would explain why the user behaviour doesn't have to change but the data usage does.
IANAL, but it sounds like his case would be very weak. You clearly had the domain name before he filed for the trademark, you have not been actively trying to extort money from the trademark owner (you've not responded to his requests to buy it), and you're not trying to export customer confusion to his name.

If you really care about this, hire a lawyer.

If you care a little bit, but not enough to pay someone, then it would make sense to put something on the site to make it clear that you're using the domain name for something productive that is non-competitive with the trademark registration. As you correctly point out, trademarks are for business domains (or geographic domains, but that seems really quaint these days, right?) so a legit use outside his trademark domain would mean his complaint was null and void.
It's not even a deliberate misrepresentation - in most cases the people involved really, genuinely believe that they have come up with something that no-one else thought of.

The question is why investors, who are supposed to be well informed, continue to back companies that know so little about the industries and markets they're operating in.

And the funny thing is, we do X but with lower costs/higher margins than existing companies A, B and C because Y is actually a compelling pitch...

Well it IS pretty useful; that's why most of my documents start with a date part like "160822 Something Something"; they'll still be sorted by /creation time/ next time I make a change.

Also very useful for photographs for example, when you can edit the EXIF without the whole lot becoming randomly sorted.
You can make codegen faster by doing less work and producing less sophisticated code. You can't not look at every byte. It's the limiting factor in fastest possible compilation, not what takes the most time in most production compilers.

It not so much that it isn't possible, just that it's significantly more efficient, by a large margin, to use solar to displace more dirty energy sources (and of those, coal is by far the highest priority).
I suffered from ME many years ago, and I was looking for something - anything - to help me cope with the continual fatigue, muscle pain, insomnia, night sweats, tinnitus etc. I went to learn meditation, and the instructor told me that for many chronic illnesses, the stress of being ill can slow down recovery.

Once I started practicing meditation, I felt a slow improvement in my condition, and most of the symptoms had sufficiently eased after 10 months that I was living a fairly normal life again. I did experience a couple of mild relapses years later (both times by not easing up on intense exercise when suffering a throat infection), but the symptoms were more mild and I recovered each time after about 4 months.

I an not advocating meditation as a cure, but it did make living with ME more bearable.

It is rare for lexers to use actual regex engines, in my experience, as it's impractical if you want to do proper error reporting unless you write your own regex engine in which case people tend to opt for hand-writing lexer rules.

It's not unheard of, and I have the impression it's getting more common, but still only a small proportion of the compilers I've seen over the years explicitly use regexps.

This is difficult to say without sounding snarky, but will 'all disease' include the mental disorders (both discovered and undiscovered) that Facebook inflicts upon its users? Depression from seeing other people's perfect lives, obsessive compulsive dopamine-fueled update checking to maximize Zuck's ad revenue etc.

I'm glad he's spending his money this way but how about the way he makes it. Facebook is not a particularly benign product and when you throw in the rising privacy, censorship, and "Free Basics" concerns, I would argue it's creeping towards having a net negative impact on the world.

I would have much more respect for Zuckerberg if he took a profit hit to fix his product and how his company interacts with the world. It's worth noting that Bill stepped away from Microsoft before he got deeply into philanthropy, in part to avoid conflict of interest. He knew he had a checkered past and he made a break with it. Zuck has a checkered present. Curing diseases in the developing world while pushing your product on it at the same time is somewhat morally ambiguous in my view.
Google’s New Vacation App Was 280 Years in the Making
> What if we release the app and it takes off, but then some folks decide they don't want to pay and they set up their own instance?

That's one of the best things that could happen, because you'll have very different sets of people using your application in what would seem to be very twisted ways (different hardware, different architecture, different needs). These people will probably hit issues, find bugs and identify improvements: If you can get that feedback you will be in a good position to make your paid (hosted?) offerings even better.

You see these people as potential threats or detractors to your business, but they might be quite the opposite. A project that's going through that would be Wordpress and they seem to be doing quite well.

> In fact I see that there is discoursehosting.com which sells instances starting at $20/mo while Discourse themselves charge $100/mo. Why does anyone pay the $100?

If it was me, it would be one reason: Support. discoursehosting.com might not have the skills to deploy code fixes when the shit really goes down (Disclaimer: I don't know, this is just hypothetical, I'm sure they're a bunch of very clever and knowledgeable people). If I could pay someone $100/mo for peace of mind I would do it in a breeze, it's less than the hourly rate of many freelance coders in the US and they probably need several hours to get familiar with Discourse's code before helping me with a fix.

> Go has hordes of green threads "goroutines"

To clarify, they do not fall into the the strictest definition of green threads[1].

> [2]: As of Go 1.5, the default value of GOMAXPROCS is the number of CPUs (whatever your operating system considers to be a CPU) visible to the program at startup.

Prior to 1.5, the default value was '1' but could be changed.

> GUI model [...] Does that mean goroutines will fade into the background in Gallium?

The main concern at the moment seems to be wrapping the underlying APIs. However, I see channels being used for great effect further down the line:

var ui chan uiFunc = // ...

button1Click := make(chan ClickEvent)
go func() {
for evt := range button1Click {
ui <- func() { textBox1.setText("Button clicked!") }
}
}()

button1.onClick(button1Click)

I presume this also applies to interacting with the V8 ABI, seeing as JS is inherently single-threaded.

I think it will need some kind of breakthrough. Current advancements are probably incremental as you stated, but having an AGI might need some new theory we don't have currently.
Energy and momentum are always conserved.
Elastic collisions conserve kinetic energy. This is helpful to know because you can predict the final speed of the two objects after the collision.
I'm not too familiar with Guile and have been away from Clojure world for a while but from what I remember people compared CLJ to Racket which seemed to get a lot of stuff before clojure (IIRC, a lot of the stuff was ported over like type annotations). Might be worth looking in to.

Did you change phones to one with a different data usage pattern (e.g., bigger screen -> higher resolution video and graphics)? Or, just the factory settings on the new phone could have stuff like Facebook Video Auto-play reverted back to on. If you have a faster connection now, video apps might be loading 1080p video instead of 360p.

You can't really make these claims without actually comparing what apps used how much data on your phone

This isn't exactly the case, "real assets" is a tricky term.
There is a difference between the SSA and the Social Security Fund, the SSA is funded through the budget "independently" of the fund, in some years the SSA have been funded at a deficit.

Yes you can say that the fund is an "accounting placeholder" just like many other economic tools, when you take a loan from a bank it doesn't give you money, it effectively gives you a tradeable IOU against yours even tho you treat it as currency.

To put in in a simpler terms the year to year budgetary deficit of the SSA against the payout claims should be treated as a separate thing to the actual Social Security Fund, if the US government or any other institution with sufficient means and credit would make a commitment to pour 3bln dollars into a bucket, said bucket is now worth 3bln dollars even if it is empty.
Cities built for humans, not cars
There's a lot of demand that can be shifted to high-power periods, basically anything that requires heat/cold. Modern insulation is fairly good and we do have a lot of liquids with a high thermal capacity. Generating warm water for buildings and cold coolant for aircons during peak power production would be technologically feasible, it just doesn't pay off currently since the power production curve is essentially flat (lot of base power with some peak added on top).

In the future it might also be interesting to move industries with high power demand to places with more solar power - electric arc furnaces, aluminum production, ... Some of those require a base load, but a lot of them can survive a few hours with limited power.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but you're saying some pretty hateful things about mental illness here.

Also, when someone thinks you have an illness with medically unexplained symptoms and they offer a psychological treatment they're not saying the pain isn't real, or that you're making it up. They're saying we don't know how to treat this, but here's something that has an evdence base that works for some people.

I mean for the shortcut's its just dump that I need to open "Activities".
It's fine to open a full screen overlay (like it's done on Ubuntu and Mac), but I mean for things like a browser or my ide, which I open like every day a lot of the time it's dump to click Activities -> All -> Search -> Click Browser.

With a Dock I can just All -> Search -> Click and for my favs it's just "Click". Most people (like non Developers open at most 3-4 programs, all of them fit into a dash.

When I'm developing on my day to day job I barly need anything from the "All" panel. Neither in Linux nor in Mac. I mostly open IntelliJ, Chrome, and the Terminal and an Email program. Editor like sublime will be openend via a Terminal, Music program will run in background and could be started via my "Play" Button (on both systems),
so basically Gnome lacks that. Basically I prefer Fedora but somehow I still use Ubuntu, since it's just install and it works like I like it and Fedora takes a few step to make it usable, so mostly a "foolness" issue.
Ah and before 22 when connecting external monitors with different screen sizes the experience just sucked (not a problem anymore tough).
Ah and also the Menubar on Gnome3 is way too thick. I mean some programs don't need that. like firefox. it's unnecessary since the X button could be added to the tab menu and the name of the application is displayed between "activities", so why do I need a 22pixel height menu bar ? Just to display an X?

Edit: Don't say that extensions can do that, since they are broken after every .2 release. Extensions are an excuse for not shipping useful features.

I have created a full fledge stock backtesting app in Node, what now?
So, I have created a new app over the last few months.

A full app, focused on backtesting tickdata.

Its a client (browser), in which you can set tests parameters, run tests, show candle graphs and show backtesting reports etc.

The server is heavily focus on performance, spawning a thread for each new instrument. It saves all tick data to binary Float64Arrays (so very fast) and has a structure that allows multiple tick engines to be set (so you could run multiple EA's in parallel on the same instrument).

Compared to MetaTrader and Cloud9Trader:

* No 'locked-in' IDE required like with MetaTrader and Cloud9.. You can just use your own favorite code editor, or instead use the one supplied in the client (same as cloud9 IDE)

* Full parallel testing (every instrument spawns a new thread, very fast)

* Every tick is async, so could be used in all kind of ways

* 100% Javascript, easy to learn, easy to extend, easy to do tons of stuff.

* Build-in Moving average indicators etc (more is coming up)

* A fully separated server and client (server has rest client with express, client will become Angular2, but quick and dirty for now with socket.io)

* Build in API for fetching data from broker, that can be extended to fit custom broker

* Build in data converter for reading/writing binary to cache

* Some unit tests are in place (will become more)

So the question is now, what to do with it? I know Metatrader is fully opensource, and I lean to do to the same.

I could be releasing it in the following ways:

* Fully fledged Electron desktop apps for windows, linux, mac.

* Host my own backtest server

* Put all on github and let the community play. You could build custom clients on it (and only use the backtest server and rest calls) or use it as it is meant to be used, to start writing stock testing scripts

It will be my first opensource project, so any thoughts are more then welcome.

Many many thanks

Can anyone recommend a FOSS photo store built on top of AWS or similar cloud hosting/storage?

I'm aware there are a thousand PHP photo library website-in-a-box type solutions. I'm more looking for something that can take advantage of cloud storage such as Amazon's buckets, so the billing increments with the amount of data stored. In an ideal world it would retain max-res files in Glacier, select storage intelligently based on frequency of access, etc etc.

It's for personal use. I'd like to pop something up for our family to archive and share photos. Privately, with the option of publicly sharing.
I deal with that by making myself check e-mail only on several pre-planned occasions during the day (or in cases of total downtime, e.g. when I'm commuting and too tired to read a book) - and then ignoring it, along with social media, for the blocks of time I want to spend doing things. I didn't disable notifications on my phone (though I switch the phone to silent and watch to quiet time mode when I'm focusing hard), so I'm often aware if there's a message waiting; I just ignore it until the scheduled time.

One thing I found helpful here to is reducing the amount of incoming e-mail. I used to receive several dozen messages a day. Over the course of a week I unsubscribed from every newsletter and e-mail notification service that I didn't used or strongly cared about; this reduced the daily private mail influx to about 10 messages a day. It's easier not to check for new e-mail if there's nothing to check for :).

It took a few days to get used to this routine, but I don't really feel a compulsion to check e-mail anymore. Since I also limited my social media use at the same time (disabling as much notifications as possible), I pretty much don't use Facebook anymore. It came naturally.
