Unfortunately the information content of these events is at best modest. After spinal cord injury you can get "spinal shock" which can last for a month or two. When it wears off you can recover a lot of previously lost function. As other comments point out bigger trials will be required to prove any efficacy.

Also there are many things in development to help acute spinal cord injury (some of which are FDA devices) but chronic SCI is a much thornier and challenging problem.

Actually I prefer to sometimes spend more on a product, especially if the marketplace seller has negative comments.

If I buy directly from Amazon I mostly now that if it's broken I can easily send it back and that they are actually using most german laws (except financials), so as a Customer I know I have protection and the company won't die in the lifetime of the product.
There is too much "I", that may be the problem.

Coding is still fun. Especially the more complex work.
What's not so funny is creating a CRUD app, since it's the same pattern over and over again.

I like it to solve hard problems, especially if I get enough time for them.

> which is not per se illegal though it is misleading of course

Actually most of these scam letters ARE illegal and you CAN and SHOULD report them to the police. The bigger problem is that most of them aren't based in Germany and vanish as quickly as they pop up.

We actually fell for one of these scams because our bookkeeping was of course extremely messy when we just started out (and we bootstrapped, so we didn't have any mentoring other than the worthless IHK). However we lucked out: although there was no way to reverse the transaction (manually wiring money is not easily reversible) the scammer's account had already been frozen by that time, so the transfer bounced and we got to keep the money.

I have to admit the IBAN number even started with the country code "ES" because the bank was in Spain but we didn't notice it because the bank's part of the code started with "DE", so it was just close enough to trick an idiot in a hurry.

This actually changed my perspective on why phishing works: you don't have to be legitimately stupid -- they just have to catch you in a situation in which you're likely to be careless and distracted enough to be that stupid.

EDIT: To clarify: the reason people often believe they're not illegal is that they're not actual forgeries -- they use carefully crafted wording and official-looking seals that aren't actually official. But they're still obviously trying to trick people, which is illegal of its own right.
To be honest on-street parking is even worse. It's dangerous and often less efficient in practice.

I think it would be nice in some cities to have every second north-south going street reserved for pedestrians and bicycles and every second for cars. Same for west-east going streets. Notice the pattern here? There are some very limited examples of this in Helsinki and Oulu.

Usually pedestrians, restaurants and cyclist just love it. Car people don't mind, as it can curb down traffic in the morning. Less cross sections is often less traffic jams.

But if there is on street parking, this will never happen. You simply need every possible way for traffic as all roads are decimated into part time parking lots.

I assume people are freaking out if you take the position that wearing a flimsy Styrofoam and plastic shell over your noggin is about as useful as taking sugar pills, since that challenges the conventional wisdom we we told in all the school PSAs?
'Cyber' is the internationally accepted term within that field. It may sound a bit 90s to you, but it's become the widely adopted standard.

I understand the term comes from the Greek for 'helmsman', and is used to mean governing systems, such as the systems that govern our infrastructure and businesses, and then cyber operations are presumably attacks or the defence of these systems.

So they are neither ignorant of etymology nor wider industrial understanding of the term. I don't know why people have a problem with it therefore.
The Cold War was a struggle for the future of mankind. The spread of communism was a very real threat and would have been catastrophic, much worse than the fall of Rome; a new Dark Ages with mankind under a boot for a thousand years was a real prospect.

The Iranian government was cozying up to the Soviets and bringing in communist forces into their government. There is good reason to believe that the Soviets were pulling off the kind of suriptitious legitimate-looking takeover that they had so successfully executed in Eastern Europe before everyone realized what was happening. Just like our support of Pinochet in Chile, it was a choice between two evils. We did what we though had to be done. In the years preceding the installation of the Shah, the iron curtain had fallen around Eastern Europe, China had fallen to Mao, the Soviets had tested their nukes and built an arsenal, Korea had been split, etc. This was an all out struggle.

That is some extraordinary revisionism you've come up with there.

Any age, just don't let your parents hear you. It was a hilarious and harmless way to blow off steam when we were in kidergarten to swear like truckers.

It's inconsiderate.
We have to model our problems so that the machine can understand, and since computers are modeled after mathematical abstractions of computation, we build tools to help us translate. First Assembly, then C, then C++, then Java, etc. We build up the abstraction layers so that we can better express ourselves in our instructions, which is at its core math.

It's like knowing a foreign language, and also knowing the cultural contexts of certain phrases, or the historical context of certain words. As you speak to someone who is a native speaker, you better communicate with them by knowing more about how they will process certain words and phrases. Analogous to this, it is always good to learn the mathematical underpinnings of how a computer computes, because this lets you use its languages more effectively, therefore better communication and translation of instructions from thoughts to bits.

Ideally, we can see that the easiest way to instruct a computer would be to simply talk to it. Maybe in the future, AI will be sophisticated enough for both speech recognition, and writing code comprehensively (as oppose to programmatically). But since that's not happening for at least a few decades (singularity now!), a programmer's ability to write good code is directly proportional to their knowledge about how the computer does what it does with the syntax you give it.
Good idea! The paper describing the breathing detection using radio is here: https://people.csail.mit.edu/fadel/papers/vitalradio-paper.p...

The paper on the heartbeat and breathing detection takes into account that heartbeats have repeating envelopes (signal shapes).

Would a wireless EMG be able to detect muscle activation and the source position(s) on the body of the signals as well?... Quite interesting.

It's now obvious that the spread of communism was a straw man. It didn't turn out viable after all.

Torturing or killing people in the name of straw man containment doesn't sound as a valid excuse anymore.

> legitimate-looking takeover that they had so successfully executed in Eastern Europe before everyone realized what was happening.

This is plain false. Takeover of Eastern Europe was a result of USSR winning the war that Germany lost. It was arranged so that USSR gets Eastern Europe that it has already took. Everybody realized what was happening.

Don't see how it could happen in Iran, much less how post-communist Iran would be worse these days than jihadist nuclear Iran you now have.
I'm watching your link now. That's sad: the oldest son stopped asking about going to school alone.
Well by design it's putting Google in a MITM position for your site (as is Cloudflare for the matter). You're either OK with that or you're not.

I don't know of this is the sort of thing you witness. Usually the asshole doesn't have anyone to berate because the point is that the parent left without their child, so the parent isn't there. They call the police without making a scene.
I think calling the relationship between two countries who do bad shit to each other, but generally don't want to have to do bad shit to each other (if nothing else because it distracts them from other issues, or cause bad shit includes getting your own economy starved) as "complicated" is okay.

Yeah split stacks will be a problem. Essentially `tgc` just scans between the address recorded as the "bottom" and the one recorded as the "top". Both of theses can be manually adjusted if you have some better idea of these locations (such as your own spaghetti stack).
While MS using steganography seems a bit far fetched, I can't agree more with your final statement. I simple don't trust MS anymore, and it's a sad state of affairs.
Agreed. That seems like a weakness in OpenSSH. One should have to turn on a "try all keys" option to get that behaviour ..
It is normal for blue collar workers to make 2x - 4x more than white collar workers today. This is in my area so things may be different elsewhere.

Kids don't want to go into blue collar work because it is looked down upon as a 'lack of advancement' or similar middle class trope.

The problem with posts about C++ on Hacker News is that people who aren't experienced C++ programmers (you've been using C++ for a semester? do tell) feel compelled to write posts explaining the problems with C++.
this is purely anecdotal, but ive been doing the ketotis thing for a couple years.

seems to me like when you consume calories from refined sugars, the 'hungry' signal never gets turned off. fat calories, on the other hand, are much more satiating. its harder to overeat fats.

i get so frustrated when i hear the 'calories in < calories out' mantra mindlessly repeated in nutrition communities.

its like asking for financial advice, and getting "as long as you aren't spending more than you are making, you'll get rich. it's simply $i/$o." as your answer.

maybe its technically correct, but its certainly not helpful. more importantly, it doesnt address WHY some people overeat or give any meaningful advice on how to change that.

Mom A doesn't just send the kids to the bus stop, she stands there with them. So mom B also begins standing. Then mom A starts meeting them at the bus in the afternoons....

There's no end to it. Parents say and do the "right" things because they are better parents -- or at least the optics looks like they are. So other parents are forced to follow suit. Given enough of this insanity, the next logical step is to start using the criminal justice system to enforce what being a good parent is.

The internet and social media are just making this worse, btw.
I lost weight at a similar rate after seeing the documentary "Fed Up". Lost 10 lbs the first week. 40 lbs overall in 3 months. All I did was limit my sugar intake to 25g per day.
Doubtful. What would 25% of the above list be, basics + OOP? No standard library at all? No templated code?

I am saying one can barely write programs by knowing just 25% of C++, let alone for almost two decades.

On the contrary, I think 80%+ of the language is accessible to every programmer.

Seriously? That's what you took from the article? The title "how giving up refined sugar changed MY BRAIN" The gist, they had better mental clarity. Unexpected weight loss while maintaining the same calorie intake.

If you want to lose weight, lose weight, He talked about how he lost 80lbs prior to cutting sugar. Eat within your calorie intake, exercise.

Looks like this was announced as a possibility and then a lot of the players went dark on it. As I understand, there is a laboratory effect that can be measured. But that's a long way from a working system.

Moderators on non-technical forums are paid by NGOs, where their function is to "manage social media relations" or something similar.
That is exactly the one I found; yes I know, but its written "in the spirit of the book" which makes it very off-putting right from the beginning. Going through the first pages only confirmed my viewpoint (as in, not mentioning that the most significant factors contributing to population growth are childhood mortality(iow no access to healthcare), (lack of)education and social safety, all of which are a direct consequence of the proliferation of century-old hierarchies and their power-conserving,consolidating,concentrating actions("we" are the ones holding large portions of the african continent in the middle ages)). It was the same with environmental impacts, giving the western consumerism as a culprit even though we are being _forced_ to become consumers(which is actually pretty hard not to see through almost every item you buy/service you consume these days) etc etc. Presenting a world without mentioning these facts is great if you want to convince (a specific group of) readers of a certain world-view and make them susceptible to accept or even defend certain policies/actions that would normally be unacceptable [by the majority of the population]. What I meant to say is .. clear I think ;)
To me, a junior is someone who doesn't know what or how much he doesn't know. From either a technical or a practical/logistical perspective. A junior might also be someone who doesn't know how to find answers when she does recognize something she still needs to know.

A junior will either get paralyzed by being unsure where to start, or will confidently plow through a problem creating an enormous mess of unstructured code until he gets stuck either on a hard part or because his creation is collapsing under its own weight.

A mid-level engineer is aware of how much he doesn't know and also knows and uses techniques to remedy that situation. A mid-level engineer can't yet do everything on his own, but he knows that. The best mid-level engineer knows when to go to Stack Overflow for details on how to use a library, and when to ask a senior teammate for design or architecture advice.

A senior can be trusted to work almost entirely unsupervised. She still doesn't know everything, but she's had enough experience in how not to do things to be able to write maintainable and extensible code on her own. She may still run her choices by a colleague for a sanity check, and she still needs to google anything from a method signature to workarounds for a library bug to tutorials for a new framework. But she's capable of producing excellent output even in professional isolation.

And job titles mean nothing. Apparently in the iOS world, if you're not entry-level (as in fresh out of a 6-week boot camp) you're a "senior". Which is ridiculous. Not to mention making hiring actual experienced people impossible.
For what it is worth: My GCP-hosted site (https://cloud.sagemath.com) was hit by a DDoS attack in April (a WordPress amplification attack), which was about 5GB/s at peak time. The GCP network had no problem handling the traffic, but the Linux network stack in my cluster of GCE VMs -- which were running nginx -- simply couldn't handle the load. I now use CloudFlare.
Bizarre. Probably 90% of my purchases are through Amazon (mostly through laziness); according to my Amazon history (which you can download, it's fun to play with the data), I've had 1,018 deliveries over the last 17 years.

I literally can't think of more than maybe 1 or 2 in all that time that have ever been damaged.
You're mistaken about the nature of Stalin's takeover of Eastern Europe. He maintained plausible deniability until the very last minute. He made it look like a democratic process while his cronies were throwing opponents out of windows. Some people did see through it, people like Churchill and Patton. But Roosevelt and Truman were completely fooled by Stalin, and thought they could trust him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Bloc#Concealed_transfo...

As for communism proving non-viable, how can you possibly judge actions in the 50s by what surprised everyone in the 80s? And we have every reason to believe that communism would have spread further and lasted longer if not for the extraordinary Western efforts to prevent and undermine them. They would certainly have taken all of Asia and South America, for instance.
Did you permanently maintain it or gain some weight afterwards?
A vector/map of what? How do I have a map of some key to a custom structure? How do you do this simply without templates? Separate libraries? Macro hell?

How do you handle types which need to free memory without destructors? Manually loop over the vector and free stuff every time one goes out of scope? That doesn't seem safer to me.

Agree, with one minor quibble: In what sense "elitarian" (do you mean elitist)? To my discredit, I went to one of those "elite" institutions before doing something better-suited for me, and I have to say those "elitarians" are at best middle of the barrel in terms of intellect or taste (and that's being generous). Their real strong suit is an above-average greed, strong "goal-orientation" [1] as well as an uncanny ability to think highly of themselves no matter what. I suppose business students/people have some role to play in society, but the best hedge fund (RenTec) has no use for them except in secretarial roles and the best tech companies (Apple, Google, …) seem to also have no use for them except in sales or interfacing to other people of their ilk, so there's that. "Elite" is far from what I would associate with this category of people. They can sell sugar water and they're administrators, really. In a rare flash of truth in advertising, it says it right there in the title: master of business administration! :-)

_______________

[1] I am using "goal-orientation" in Alan Kay's sense of not being able to evaluate an idea on its own merit but only in relation to some external goal, usually "career advancement" (here's another one of those made-up, pretentious business words), ego protection, or ego inflation.
In Germany it takes a long time to win trust, from both customers and investors point of view. Because there is a more long term orientation compared to USA. Also, Germany has a lower indulgence which tends to make them more cynic.

However, Berlin is a great place for remote work. Rents are relatively low and the city has a great vibe.
This doesn't sound unique to Berlin.
