From Wikipedia Paracetamol article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol#Mechanism_of_actio...):

"To date, the mechanism of action of paracetamol is not completely understood."

and:

"It is the most commonly used medication for pain and fever in both the United States and Europe."

"Not completely understood" is not the same as "we have no idea why it works", but still I find it telling for such a popular product.
> There are flaws that make this model a definite downgrade from previous models

Only if you go back to the 5, in form factor/design it's an upgrade in absolutely every way over the abysmal 6-series apart from the headphone jack.

Back of the 6 is full of dirty antenna lines, the materials it was made out of look and feel cheap and slippy, the camera wart is just another component stuck to the back.

7 has a premium black option again finally that provides much needed grippyness, camera thought still warty is an equal distance from the edge not lopsided and actually machined out the case, antenna lines are finally almost invisible again.

I'm sure Gomix will have some level of success, though I have no idea what it is from his post - which just seems to be about how his is now CEO and all the glory is his. I wonder how his team feel about that? Perhaps some of them are white, so the team doesn't matter?

> I hope that Pax's friends in the pick up artist community take a few moments away from writing date rape manuals and sending me death threats to reflect on the fact that their new hero has at least some tiny bit of respect for the wife he's been married to for 15 years. How crushed they will be.

> Pax showed up about 10 minutes late, having been busy with the latest stop on his press tour, and as I had agreed, I called him an asshole to his face and paid for his coffee. We talked for about 20 minutes. He offered up a pretty boringly conventional defense of male privilege, and when I described the role of actual satire and comedy in punching up instead of punching down, he revealed that he sees attacking feminists and equality activists as punching up. There was some pointless bickering from me about the inanity of that perspective, but overall things were fairly civil; I've met guys like this before and I didn't have any illusion that I was going to dissuade him from a perspective which his social group rewards with attention and the perverse impression that acting like an asshole is somehow being brave.

This is the new CEO of Fog Creek? In all fairness, he did say he was "fighting off a brutal chest cold". But WTF? I've had chest colds too, so has everyone. They never provoked me to being this nasty, whatever the reason.

I am sad. I thought Joel had some interesting insights, and Fog Creek was involved in some truly interesting and useful products like Stack Overflow and Trello.

But if someone like that is now running the show, it doesn't give me much hope for their future products.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_Stat... I see 12 states with the same base rate as Washington or higher, and another 14 or so just 0.5% behind. I see 13 states with the same "max with local surtax" or higher.

Washington does levy sales tax on clothing, but apparently so do most states.

So the sales tax is a bit above median, but doesn't seem any more regressive than other states per se. And is lower than California's.

Property taxes have more to do with it, I suspect, especially given the mess in California with those.

Writing this from a Lenovo X1 running Linux...

The keyboard is great so if you do a lot of writing (e.g. you are a developer) this is a very good machine. But if you are doing other stuff then maybe this is not the machine for you.

With that said, checkout darktable (http://www.darktable.org/ ) which was discussed a few days ago on HN.

Something to take note of is that zurb grid foundation has ballooned over the years, it used to be way more minimalistic and more modular than bootstrap. Bootstrap and foundation have stolen things from each other over the years and they are very similar today, but generally foundation styling is more subtle and I think that is what he is getting at. The ability to be unique with less effort than you would need using bootstrap.

Also Foundation has a superior grid layout system last time I checked, but dont quote me, I have not looked into bootstrap 4

Sometimes, we forget that, as biological beings, we are, by environmental conditioning, limited in our reasoning abilities toward non-linear thinking. What constitutes absolutism of thought and to infer that we have absolute reasoning?
We know that many imminent scientists, including Einstein, were disposed toward intelligent design, agnosticism, and not atheism.
Stephen Jay Gould says, “...facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world′s data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts."
For all the evidence and reasoning, we still have not proven or disproven, at least not with enough scientific rigor, that God exists.
Even holding an agnostic view seems to be better than saying that we have disproven Intelligent Design.
Until then, being predisposed to one of the polar claims ought not to be treated with contempt.
1) This doesn't make it right, but it's a common practice for a President to give a percentage of ambassadorships (typically 30%-40%) to donors and friends. Obama, Clinton, and both Bush's all engaged in this practice. It's unusual though to extend this practice to the Cabinet, as Trump has done.

I can't say anything about this specific Qualcomm, but I have used Qualcomm Gobi 2000 and Sierra EM7345 in previous generations of Thinkpad. They both work fine with Linux but their firmwares were buggy as hell. You have to upgrade them as soon as possible. All the problems I ever had were finally solved by upgrading those firmwares. This usually mean you need to keep Windows for that.
It's possible to have screws to access case-internal hardware without a laptop being bulky and hard to look at.

I'm also hungry for a macbook pro alternative (after Apple's courageous decision to remove function keys and magsafe and not meaningfully improve hardware), but I've yet to find something that isn't at best a flimsy clone -- I travel a lot and don't want to sacrifice look and feel for the 30 minutes every three years that I'd need to swap ram/hdd.
It did when the iPhone7 was released, and had already been released on quite a few Android phones.
The one major area where I think Android leads (at least stock Android, Nexus, Pixel) is text input. The voice typing on android is significantly more accurate than on iOS, and has been my biggest hurdle in getting used to iOS. I know few people find voice typing practical, but once you get used to it it makes pecking out words manually feel incredibly inefficient by comparison. Also the android keyboard swipe technology works very well, and I miss that a lot on iOS. I know you can technically install third-party keyboards, but they tend to not work very well due to iOS restrictions, plus then you completely lose access to voice typing and I'm not willing to give that up even if it's inferior on iOS. Since switching to iOS from android a year ago, I still type significantly slower and with many more typos than on android. If I could use android's keyboard and voice typing on iOS it would be the perfect device.
I think Anil Dash is a creep. His involvement in Gomix and Fog Creek means I'm less interested in those projects, frankly. I think he's one of the bigger blowhards in this scene, and I don't see the value in his participation, given that he seems more interested in social engineering his way to the top than .. you know .. actual engineering.
What I don't understand is, ignoring whoever did the hack, for whatever reason, the election was compromised. Why isn't congress or supreme Court asking for a new election if this one was a fraud?

This isn't correct. A few years ago every kid had Facebook. If you didn't have it, you were a weirdo.

Wow. That is so true. Certainly for a certain class of acquaintance/friend, all you really need is the lightest connection (but you still want a connection).
thanks for that comment. Indeed we are looking at general purpose ML (gbm and logit regression being our primary usecases). I was not looking at RDD but rather Graphframes.

I see that you worked with GraphX and abandoned it. This is disappointing - we were really looking forward to Spark Graphframes with HBase as the oltp data store for graph data.

In your situation, how did you overcome the problems in Spark ? Did you use an accompanying toolkit to augment spark or did you build your own (hopefully not!).
I was telling my dad over the phone to drag a file, and it wouldn't work. Apparently if he pressed too hard it engaged force touch or whatever and would just drop the file randomly. It dropped it in a random folder and he couldn't find it again.

1. Mindful meditation [free]

John Kabat-Zinn [0] masters the link between science and meditation and has published very valuable books (including guided/audio meditation exercises) [1]. There are a couple of scientific studies which prove effectiveness [2] [3].

2. LSD [$5-10/dose + $25/multi-use test kit]

Benefits (mid- and long-term) are similar to those of meditation. In addition, you may be able to access your spiritual dimension, which increases quality of life even further (it is less immediate with meditation). It however requires one to literally read/understand/know everything about the substance before applying it (minimum literature: "The psychedelic explorer's guide" by Fadiman). Also, order a test kit and test before you ingest. Certain "edge cases"/people should not try it.

Retirement at 50 is not the way to solve the risk of ageing bodies on physically demanding jobs. 30 years of fire/policing experience is perfect for training, fire prevention, home / business security advice, more administrative roles and generally being the mentor for the newbies.

Alternatively if there are too many physically demanding posts make it more like the armed forces and get rid of most people between the 10-20 year mark with a smaller pension and assistance with finding new work. 50 is a terrible time to push people into a new career.
I think the best use case for a dongle would be the first MacBook Pro I bought. They had phased out the VGA port for a DVI port, but included a DVI to VGA adapter in the box. The great thing about that is it simple a physical wiring adapter with no other logic inside. It worked well and no one complained since carrying the adapter in the bag with the laptop is not a big deal.

In the case of the iPhone 7 the laptop bag is my pocket which has much more limited space and a hard connector getting situated in the wrong spot could end up being uncomfortable until readjusted. Additionally it is not just a wiring adapter. The Lighting to 3.5mm adapter actually contains a DAC and ADC inside of it which unfortunately causes the audio quality to suffer slightly compared to a higher quality dedicated DAC/ADC solution inside the phone.

The first gen X1 came with 8GB of RAM and standard SATA interface (is was quite bulky for that very reason).

Believe or not only few care about that lousy jack. Most will use earbuds that come with the phone, others will permanently have dongle attached to their headphones.

It's warranted in this case as it's responding to the worst launch post I can recall reading.
I don't see why they wouldn't be supported. It's just a regular Node/Express app, so you can include whatever modules you need.
As a non-social-media using "hacker" (HN is the closest thing to social media that I use), I think portability in laptops should be picked over ease in hardware replacement (if you're often needing to change hardware, that's a quality problem). Recessed screw holes and bulk are a departure from that and feel like stepping into the past after using a macbook.

Similarly, I spend far more type writing software than with the soldering iron.
I doubt it is cheaper if you already need the VPS for a seperate rails application.
Being a solo-consultant (or small firm) is extremely taxing from my experience and I stopped after 4 years of travelling too much, sleeping in stupid hotel beds, having 5 days of uninterrupted 120% work with 4-10 people, never getting to see the finished thing, not getting much appreciation. its just exhausting even though it easily makes a lot of money, you learn a lot, the job itself just sucks.
It's always been yes and no. It's class-based.

Yes, the management class (or officer class) is for the pedigreed elite. You're trying to join the manager class and they have a line out the door of people with pedigree. What school did you go to? Yeah, so why would they pick you...they're themselves incompetent so why would they use competence as the criteria? VCs invest almost exclusively invest in this class and so the cycle continues.

The technical class (or soldier class) does all the actual work and so they have to be competent. This is almost entirely meritocratic in Silicon Valley. Anyone even moderately competent can get well paying some job, even if it's not at one of the big adtech companies like Google/Facebook that can afford to mostly require pedigree from even their soldiers.

What's neat about Silicon Valley is that anyone of the technical class can simply promote themselves to the manager class given sufficient effort and luck. This alone is what makes it so special. It's very rare but it does happen.

The funny thing is, the effective new property tax rate in Oakland or SF is something like %1.2-%1.5, which is bigger than Seattle King County's tax rate of %1. And Seattle has better roads than the bay area, no state income tax, a lower sales tax and has rainy weather. I don't get it.

"best" and "won out" how? Certainly not in speed. Win+# is O(1) in complexity and I already have my left hand in position to press the 2 buttons required to instantly get to the window I want.

Compared to expose which is first a hotkey to initiate(note that already here you lost the race in number of keys to press), wait 300ms for the animation to complete, find the window you want which is more like O(n), move hand to mouse, move mouse around to find the cursor, move cursor to desired window, click, wait another 300ms for animation.

Even if I happen to already have my hand on the mouse and know where the cursor is the best case will take you at least one second, this is much inferior to just pressing 2 keyboard buttons which is essentially instantaneous, even with faster animations you will not save much time as you need that time to find the window. With more than 5 windows open finding the right one can be a true challenge as they get very small and there will be a lot of them to scan.

For grandma who don't care about speed maybe expose is easier to understand and remember but for intense task switching by experienced users it is just in the way.

Gomix looks like the most ideal tool for hackathons where multiple people can really quickly collaborate on a live updating prototype. It also seems like a fantastic tool for teaching since learners have a really tight feedback loop without any set-up.

How to Tell If You're a Jerk
Then why not a dongle? After all, that seems to be the solution for everything else...
Yeah technically you could telnet in or do a remote X11, but you'd have to telnet to one of the machines in the lab, that someone was working on. So their processes would get priority since they were on the console, and sometimes people were asses and would boot you out so they could compile faster.

Also we didn't really have many people with laptops, so if you had a group project meeting in the lab was pretty much the only way you could all get computers but still interact with each other.
I worked in consulting/training for 4 years now, but if this work would be 100% utilized, i would have quit after one year. So the rates must be high to allow for just 50% utilization or even less.
The environment you describe is also how a third party can get traction. It just needs a few charismatic leaders and good marketing to gain traction and a bot army to flood all social networks. :)
