> why are these glasses so cheap?

The frames are being made from cheap materials (plain wire) closer-to or at the location of the recipients. Another HNer mentioned the person behind this invented a small wire bending device, and that's being used here to form the frames.

I would wager, as well, that the lenses don't have all the fancy coatings and such that you might get from an Optometrist (anti-scratch/fog/glare/shatter, etc)... although when your options are cheap glasses vs. no glasses, most people will opt for having glasses.
This is a cool use case for userfaultfd(). Will be checking out TrailDB as well!

That's a little scary but I appreciate the compliment.
Some challenges:

- it's hard to draw a line between true and false in the presence of subjective information.

- it's hard to do a classification without false positives and false negatives.

- it's hard to defend yourself from accusations of bias and manipulation in the presence of false positives/false negatives.

- it's hard to scale a process involving human reviewers.

So, in short, what they did is to let the community regulate their own content. If people visit some stupid article about curing cancer by eating cheetos while twerking then that is what is going to trend. If people want to read about Brawndo, the thirst mutilator and how awesome it is on plants let them read it.
>I don't think the answer is "parents homeschooling" which can only ever address privileged individuals.

My father became disabled when I was 8 or 9 and could no longer work. There were years when our christmas tree was a potted plant and our presents were cereal boxtop prizes. Yet I was able to be educated at home.

If you are interested in allowing more people to have the privilege of home schooling, then perhaps we should examine the inequity of home schooling parents being taxed for public educations there children are not using?
Yes. The problem is most of these companies that want to fight "fake news" would probably almost completely focus on "new sites" that have fake news, and perhaps a couple of other "more obvious" big sites like Breitbart.

But what happens when the fake news comes from CNN? Will Facebook block CNN or WSJ articles that spout lies and are blatantly incorrect?

The problem with this is that these days, you often also get the "real news" from smaller sites, like DemocracyNow, or others even smaller, that report on NoDAPL protests when none of the big news sites do. What if Facebook gets used to censoring these sites, though, even though they report the real news out there? And would we even know? After all, they are small sites, that few people would know about in the beginning.
The driving isn't the same at all.

Small town with car: go a few blocks, never stopping for traffic, going the direction you like and stopping where you please

Big city with car: go many blocks, constantly stopping in traffic, route around 1-way streets, and then slowly loop around looking for a place to park

Big city with bus: go many blocks, constantly stopping in traffic, route around 1-way streets, often going kind of the wrong direction, spewing diesel soot all the way -- and often the bus runs nearly empty, a big soot-spewing vehicle with almost no people
Misleading article. Einstein is responsible for a lot of quantum statistics and quantum mechanics.

Also, this isn't really anything new from some new theory.

It's all contained within QFT and the uncertainty principle.

More or less, this happens at the LHC when protons are smashed together, forcing momentum energy to be converted into rest energy, leading to the creation of short-lived particles from the vacuum (provided that quantum numbers, energy, momentum, and angular momentum are conserved).
the amount potentially associated with uncompensated care cost shifting is only 2.3 percent of private health insurance costs in 2013.

Manhattan has 4x the population density of Jerusalem (twice the population in half the space). On top of that, it's an island so alternate traffic routes sometimes don't exist.

Glasses are a total racket. Purchasing your glasses online is many, many times cheaper than going to Lenscrafters or basically any other brick & mortar store in the US. I've been buying online for years and they're every bit as good as usual ones. You do need your pupillary distance, but you either measure this yourself with the help of a friend, or ask your optometrist. If they refuse or tell you how evil buying glasses online is, get a new optometrist.

The best sites I'm aware of are:

Right. What I meant to say was that the early domain registration isn't evidence of a pre-existing corporation.
I wore cheap glasses for the last ~15 years, my eyes are still 20/20 the last time I checked which was ~3 months ago.
My feeling is that since Facebook has a monopoly on being Facebook, and Twitter has a monopoly on being Twitter, and since these companies have an interest in not being gamed by the KGB, Macedonian teenagers or anything else, they should keep up research on using data science to identify disinformation and rank it accordingly in the feeds they serve.

It would be a good start.
Yeah. Having to manually log to /some/ extent is actually my expectation; it just has to be simpler than typing out a whole log entry. I don't want to type out

"dec 02 2016 Hung out with Alex and Sammy, talked about Star Wars and whether Darth Maul or Qui-Gon would win in a fistfight, Sammy was backing Darth Maul and won the argument"

I don't have any ideas to improve that in any way, I don't know if it CAN be improved without some element of literal mind-reading, I just know that typing out the above is inadequate, it's too clunky, time-consuming, and conspicuous.
This the difference of listening to what your customers literally say and being able to deduce what it is what they need.

"I want faster (or better) horses". Needs a follow up question or ability to understand the deeper core meaning.
From the above quote. These are some off top of head self distilled thoughts on what that means

I want to get from point a to b faster. (faster vehicle or teleportation.)

I want less time traveling.

I want less prep time for traveling(E. G. Saddling horse).

I don't want to take care of my means f transportation (offer a stable service or offer non animal vehicle)

I want my destination closer.(urban)

I don't want to go to the store to buy X. (delivery service. Ala amazon?)

I want faster Internet vs I want to reach my final destination faster are similar but different outcomes.

Would you rather have Google load pages 100x faster or have above 99% chance to guess the site you really wanted/needed.

It worked well until one enterprising undergrad heard of that practice and went through the entire thesis stacks shaking out the books for cash.
Having worked in the optical business to put myself through engineering school, I know that glasses can be very expensive; there's a poop tonne of overhead at those places.

That being said, be very careful of cheap glasses. If you have a strong Rx, you need the OC to be aligned properly with your P.D. otherwise you're inducing prism. This can cause severe headaches and eye fatigue. You should also make sure you go see a Dr regularly; those exams test more than just your vision. You could be going blind in a preventable way and not know until too late.

Oh, cheap frames just aren't as comfortable at the end of the day as not as cheap frames. Buyer beware.

* Not a Dr myself. I worked in the labs. Don't take anything I say to be any sort of medical advice. I'm merely saying be very careful with your precious eye sight.

Yes, dtruss would be a closer equivalent but it is using dtrace under the covers.
Online glasses still come out to about $80 for me based on the requirements of my prescription, but yes, the markup that optical places charge is through the roof. Outlets like Zenni Optical are seriously giving local optometrists a run for their money, to the point where the industry is panicked over it.

I've had satisfactory results from all three of these. One of our salespeople was rather upset that my titanium memory-wire glasses looked about the same as his but cost an order of magnitude less.

No, that's missing the point. I know what silly legal maneuverings are, but I know that they're self-contradictory and worthless.

Sorry, but I don't consider ToS binding. Maybe on my use of the site, but not simply on software I bought. Otherwise the word "bought" is meaningless.

Also, if they can do that then they have the ability to simply forbid reverse engineering, etc, which is utterly ridiculous.

You mix facts about the mathematics with opinions about interpretation and philosophical positions pretty freely, and that equivocation in science communication is what puts a lot of people off QM.

Scientists are too comfortable presenting philosophical positions or opinion as fact just because it's consistent with a model.

It could, but there's probably another explanation: if you can't use original binaries then you can't point to Ubuntu package repositories in your own distro.

Maintaining those repositories is a part of Canonical's competitive advantage, if anyone could use it then any distribution could easily get at least as good as Ubuntu, which would ruin the Canonical's business.

I like vim because I can use it in a terminal, over ssh, etc. The actual text editing capabilities, the quick access to search and replace, and the ability to work without taking my hands off the keyboard to use a mouse are all big wins for me. It's just one editor, and a lot of people like Emacs (I have nothing against them, it's just not really my thing) or some other editor.

Frankly, the biggest thing is to pick one editor and stick with it. As far as IDEs go, I've used PyCharm for debugging before. I think it fits a lot of use cases but like most IDEs it's slow, so I don't use it for writing and editing
I think this is the crux of the issue. If one ascribed to the prion hypothesis, than ketogenic metabolism would almost certainly have to be related to higher probability of prion formation, and more survivable conditions in vivo.

Another common way some AAs are metabolised is by hydrogenation is red blood cells. So I think this eats up a hydrogen ion at the very least, leading to greater intra-cellular oxidisation and a messed up blood plasma pH, increasing the occurrence of abnormal enzymatic reactions. The metabolites you mentioned are present in much larger quantities on low carbs, due to increased synthesis and use of proteins for energy, including for the brain...

Oh and at least a few of those metabolites sometimes ultimately metabolise to acetone, especially if normal metabolism disrupted by wonky pH balance.

Anion gap in soft tissue cells may also explain 'twitches': spontaneous muscular activation due to soft tissue cell hyper-natremia (unbalanced towards sodium).

Crazily, excess acetone restoration is one theory that explains spontaneous human combustion (acetone is quite volatile and flammable)...

Given that you can make $5/10/15/25k a month with a cushy 9-5 corporate job where everything's taken care of for you, in most cases the choice is not small-business vs. startup, it's corporate job vs. startup.

The "lifestyle" self-running company that spits out a comfortable amount of cash and is easier to handle than a corporate job is somewhere between a myth and a unicorn. It's very rare. If you want to stay on the legal side of things it takes a great amount of connections, experience, time and effort to build such a company. You might as well invest that time in a "proper" startup and get some funding. Chances of success will be similar in the end.
"The industry" is mainly Luxottica[1], a company that controls the majority of the world glasses market - prescription and non, production and retail, and even (through a vision insurer) purchasing. There's a ton of "look at this horrible monopoly and how many damage they do!" type articles about.

Years ago, I worked on software that dealt with computational geometry a lot, and I quickly found out the hard way that the equality operator is pretty much useless for floating point values.

On the other hand, that is a property of floating point numbers, regardless of what language one uses.
Last time I got a new prescription I asked them to include the PD number and they refused. They would only give that to me if I bought glasses through them. I couldn't even pay them for just the measurement (I suggested $10-$20).

It's easy enough to measure myself, so that's what I did.

My glasses were $45 and he said his costs were more than twice that. Where's all that money going?

No, it doesn't. That's a serious abuse of the language. What you describe would be hacking into Facebook.

The browser is my user-agent and I'm instructing it how to display the content delivered to me.

Exactly, and yet they're trying harder to block a fact checker than to block the bad news.

If they just backed off on both I could see the bad news and have my plugin flag it.

Not even close. It's not like Facebook is cleaning up malware plugins.

They're only targeting this one because it threatens their editorial control of my feed.
I read it as integer arithmetic. It is semantically different from pointer arithmetic.
I think the reason it's not normally done is that for small open source projects, there are only a handful of usages and each author can easily do it manually. For a large monorepo, we do have (or are building) specialized search-and-replace tools to replace deprecated API usages with usages of the new API.

To scale this in the open source world, perhaps someone could search Github for Go projects and send out pull requests automatically. But people writing non-opensource code would still be pretty much on their own.
Tracelytics was a startup I co-founded based on X-Trace, which ended up as AppNeta's Traceview and is now part of the Solarwinds monitoring cloud suite of products (joining Librato, Pingdom, Papertrail). So look out for more tracing from us as well.

I order my glasses from Zenni, but I don't think it's for everyone. For one thing, they always locate the pupil at the exact midpoint of the lens. Unless you wear very small frames, your pupils are probably located somewhat higher in the lens when you are wearing the glasses in the most comfortable or attractive manner. This can result in double vision, chromatic anomalies, headaches, and worse. It's far more likely to be an issue if you have a strong prescription than a weak one, but inexpensive glasses may be a false economy if you have any of these problems.

edit: Also, one pair of glasses I ordered from Zenni gave me a rash around my eyes and on my eyelids. I've gotten contact rashes from watches before, so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but I'd never had it happen with glasses before. I thought I had just gotten a sunburn at first, and it took me a while to convince myself it was my glasses. (I basically didn't wear the glasses for a month, and then wore them again.) It's either the plastic used for the frame, or maybe a mold release. Regardless, I've tried washing the glasses with a strong detergent, and I've had them ultrasonically cleaned and they still give me a rash. They cost $30 though, which basically makes them disposable compared to normal glasses.
I love to know if Luxottica has tried to buy Warby Parker.
Can't remember where I saw it, but recall reading that a significant number of deals do fall through. Mark Cuban actually had one of the higher success rates with about 80% of deals actually succeeding, and I think both Lori and Robert were at around 45%.

Edit: From this AMA on reddit with Mark Cuban 3 years ago, he says that about 25% of deals have something wrong (and therefore presumably don't work out).

It's truly hilarious how defensive they get over online glasses purchases. I've been using Zenni for over 5 years now, and there's no way in hell I'd go back to using a local optometrist for my glasses.
To fuel the lie
A nitpick: When discussing hash function properties (p. 111), his definition of property #1 ("[it should be hard to] modify a message without changing the hash") is, to me, equivalent to second-preimage resistance ("[Given] a message m, it should be difficult to find another message m' with the same hash"), which he discusses as a separate property under prop #3.

In the explanation of prop #1, he makes it clear that he is talking about the "avalanche effect," so it might be better to say that explicitly in the definition.

Disclaimer: I'm not a crypto person, so it's better if the author comments on this as well.

I think the book is great, by the way, especially the writing style and the choice of what to focus on. Thanks, lvh, for doing this.
