I've tried to do consistently many times, and usually fail. I'm trying to do this consistently now. I'm reading the Checklist Manifesto, so I have a checklist of things I want to do after I wake up and things I want to do before bed. It's pretty simple, like write something and read something before picking up your phone. I'm keeping it really simple and subjective so I keep up with it.

In 2017, I want to improve my memory and be more thorough, and I hope this will help.

This may sound trivial, but when I get into the office and someone asks me what I did over the weekend, I don't typically have an answer on the tip of my tongue. After trying this a few times, it's quicker for me to answer before going to the copout answer of "nothing". Usually, my nights are pretty boring though, lol - gym, reading, bath/reading, writing, coding, sleep - in a random order.

I've got a nexus 5x on google fi and while it's fine compared with the cost of my iphone, I've been unimpressed with the UX. Feels a bit clunky and non intuitive in certain areas-- this morning I was trying to get a number from the calls log and ended up redialing inadvertently. I wanted to call from a land line so I hung up abruptly (unfortunately my callee had just picked up). Just little nuisances like that, that has me missing my iphone.

Well, yes. Quite a possibility. In fact you wouldn't need the drones. People putting them there will receive much less attention.

Autopilot isn't even necessary. Any car with Forward-Collision Warning With Braking would likely have not gotten in an accident, or at least one not nearly as severe. Fortunately, many major manufacturers have committed to eventually making this technology standard.

It's actually the ESP8266 chip inside that you're after. It runs Arduino code, although you must tell your IDE you're targeting an ESP8266 (it has special libraries for wifi use, etc...).

ESP8266's come on many boards, including the bare-boned ESP-01 [1], which is even cheaper at $1.53 per each.

The only problem with ESP8266's, is they are very power hungry, requiring 500mA-1A for doing wifi related things. Although, when not using WiFi, you can shut down the antenna and save on power consumption.

I don't know your situation, but my experience driving big heavy stuff is that sometimes a yellow light does not provide enough warning to stop 55mph * crazy weight, and you sometimes find yourself with a dilemma of entering an intersection just after a light has changed, or a few seconds after the light has changed.
Ok, but what makes an American an "American" besides nationality? I'm "American" if my ascendents have been living and breeding in the US for N generations? Are the Mexican immigrants that have been living in US soil for generations also American? Or some people just have DNA mutations that happened in America?

This is non-sense from every angle you look at it and a petty excuse for racism.
FB is not the main avenue for news outside of governmental control. If anything, FB makes it easier to control the flow of news for governments due to the centralised nature and the fact that FB has a commercial interest in remaining on a relatively good footing with the powers-that-be. Which is why FB cooperates in 'fighting "fake news"' (yes, double scare quotes here as both the 'fight' as well as the 'fake news' are of questionable nature).

Anyone can start a 'news site', either using one of the established blogging platforms or by renting some space on the 'net and running their own site. That this avenue is mostly taken by what is considered 'the political right wing' is not surprising, given that the majority of established media in a large part of Europe (which is where you'll find the largest proliferation of 'alternative' media) is considered to be on the 'left side' of the political spectrum. In some countries this development has gone so far that a majority of people don't consider established media to be a reliable and trustworthy source of news, e.g. Sweden [1]. Some of the 'alternative' media strive to uphold traditional standards of journalism, often as a reaction to the demise of those traditions in the established media. Others just try to push their message using whatever they think will stick, standards and traditions be damned. The former are a valuable addition to the media landscape and could prove vital in the sight of extending governmental control of media. The latter are at best a nuisance, at worst a factor in destabilising society. While they may consider themselves to be 'patriotic citizens defending their freedom', they only serve to reinforce stereotypes of whatever political movement they represent.

I for one am glad that the 'net makes it possible to publish outside of governmental control. I also know enough not to blindly trust whatever is published, be it through 'alternative' or 'established' media. In the 'fight' against 'fake news' the question soon rises who gets to define which news is 'fake' and which is 'true'. The government ('ministry of truth'...)? The established media (whose political bent was the original reason for alternative media to arise in the first place)? Who will watch the watchers?

I share your frustration. Part of the problem seems to be with most devices they are quite nice "out of the box" but over 6 to 12 months the experience degrades; battery and storage performance drop dramatically. I'd like to be able to read reviews of devices after 1 year of substantial use, rather than reviews of brand new devices.
Your anecdote suggest confirmation bias, because the opposite is equally possible. How do I know? Because I am the counterexample.

Nobody in my family speaks anything but English. I am from a small town. I have never had a conversation from anyone from my hometown in anything but English. We grew up in a very conservative church, in a very conservative part of the country. While I was never taught that "questioning" was wrong, it was never an active part of the teaching, either; just indoctrination. No early exposure to STEM. Really, church activities (and the band in school) were my life.

At 16, I began teaching myself how to play the piano and to study languages (when the Internet made access to other languages possible). I also taught myself programming, because it was interesting (Pascal, then Assembly, then PHP... I know, it's weird). I had no direction from family (my dad was a butcher (later a salesman), my mom was a nurse) because they didn't know anything about any of it. I just did whatever I thought was interesting on my own.

What is the result? My first degree was from a seminary, where I earned a bachelor's in Biblical Studies. I then went to a state university, and earned a BMus in Piano Performance. I then earned a MSci in CS. I'm 3.5 years into my CS PhD program.

As for language, I'm comfortable in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. I have also studied French, Italian, German, and Russian. This was all done in my late teenage and adult years (again, due to Internet availability).

> There are a variety of ways that this can be done, most of them revolving around visibility and community education.

Indeed. But I also think, that much of this community education and "awareness" has gotten people to ignore these types of things. A lot of it comes down to "ehh, whatever" or similar "convenience > privacy".

Facebook's a problem child. You have an account even when you don't have one, because other people put things up there and link to you. Indeed, having an account allows some modicum of control of other user-posted junk, whereas not having an account = no control.

Facebook also has network effect going for it; easy to chat on, and easy to see events and parties around. And being "that guy" means you're likely forgot about events. I'd love a viral solution to claw away from Fb and get my friends on. Ello seemed to be a good candidate but quickly turned into a shithole. I'll honestly have to look into Diaspora and its user-friendliness. Because again, network effects rule.

> Be the change you want to see in the world.

Indeed. I try to be. I have my own IoT infrastructure. Built it myself. I have a few different buildings I do stuff in, and use Tor to tie my network together. I've documented what I've done here: https://hackaday.io/project/12985-multisite-homeofficehacker...

> The US government doesn't give a shit about the legality of what they're doing.

Absolutely agree, being a US citizen. I am looking at emigrating elsewhere. Iceland was a consideration, as was a few other countries in Europe. But it also feels like trading one set of problems for another set of problems.

This makes Apple's choice to aggressively control background processes seem prescient to me. Also aggressively pushing specific media codecs.

Iceland already produces much more energy than it needs through geothermal and hydro. Connecting the Icelandic power grid to the rest of the world seems to be currently infeasible [1], so instead they "export" the surplus energy through their aluminium industry: raw ore is shipped in from around the world, and high-energy refined aluminium is shipped out.

Similarly-isolated New Zealand does a similar thing, refining aluminium ore from Australia using abundant hydro power [2].

I remember watching some silly Hong Kong movie on TV one night when I was living in a hostel in Taiwan in the late 1990's. The people staying at the hostel were all fairly young and included Americans, Brazilians, French, Germans, Japanese, South Asians and whatnot. Most of us were chatting in whichever languages we happened to have in common, or halfway paying attention to the TV. I forget what the movie was about, but at one point there was a dream sequence or something and suddenly the actors are wearing overalls and hats with big fake mustaches and they start running around big green pipes and jumping on turtle shells. And suddenly the whole room started laughing because everyone understood the reference. Mario was a cultural touchstone we all had in common.
11 things I learnt in 2016, the hard way
Very recent, previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13218918
I'm sorry but is everyone here sucked into the "reality-distortion field" that Tesla Auto Pilot seems to be generating? Nothing happens in this video that a competent driver wouldn't have done.

Detailed Explanation:
In the UK part of the driving theory test is a "Hazard Perception"[1] exercise that test candidates awareness of hazards around them by playing short video clips and getting the candidates to click when they first spot a hazard they would need to respond to.

When watching the linked video I 'click' at 0:04 when I see the multiple brake lights though the car directly in-front. This coincidentally is when the Tesla responds with its audible warning.

The factors that lead to the Tesla not being involved in an accident in this video were not related to Auto Pilot but due to a competent driver: 1) Maintaining appropriate breaking distance from the car ahead to i. be able to stop in-time but without being tail-ended due to fast breaking ii. have 'thinking distance' to allow for slowed reaction timing 2) Watching the road ahead and noticing solid breaking of ahead vehicles though the directly in-front vehicle. There is NO AUTO PILOT MAGIC IN THIS VIDEO

I do not dispute that in other circumstances and perhaps other videos Tesla Auto Pilot HAS prevented and accident that a human would not have. This video is NOT such an example.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome
That's not what I got from watching the video. It looks like traffic was slow/stopped in the passing lane. You can see brake lights in front of the pink car, especially in the slowed down clip. The driver of the pink car seemed to be in the process of passing, but didn't pay attention to traffic ahead of them, and thus crashed into the SUV.
Yes, brake lights on the vehicles. I regret the confusion.
> if you play it correctly you must either buy or auction every property landed on

But this is an awfully short and simplistic decision tree, isn't it?

I agree that auctioning/trading can be interesting, but if you play with experienced strategy players or seasoned eurogame-gamers you will either find that A) there is a naive sucker at the table who will make an uneven trade and hand another player the victory or B) find out that everyone will hold on to their cards.

I loved playing Monopoly as a kid, but comparing it now to German Boardgames like Settlers of Catan I realize now that kids are a bit stupid (and I was no exception) and it just felt great to count the paper money.

Microlensing Study Suggests Most Common Outer Planets Likely Neptune-Mass
I wouldn't use 'probably' at all. The level of proof submitted is incredibly light - it only inspects two and a half proteins - and doesn't attempt to inspect the relationship between its proposed mechanism (change in hydration shell density) and protein denaturation.

They show two graphs of protein denaturation curves showing maximum rate change in 50-65 degree range, and a curve of a different protein's hydration shell density changing. At the very least, showing correspondence between hydration shell density and denature curves within a single protein would be significantly more convincing.

While protein folding and interaction is devilishy tricky to compute, the basic idea that injecting extra energy into a system thats held together only by weak hydrogen bonds will disrupt structure and function hardly requires invocation of additional forms of water.

This isn't to say that the claims may not be true. But I would not jump to "probably".

In fact, your quoted statement doesn't even say that proteins become less stable, what the quoted statement says is that a SINGLE protein (lysozyme) undergoes irreversible structural changes over 65 degrees.

We know of a variety of high temperature resistant proteins (Taq Polymerase for example). While is certainly true that most "ordinary" (ie non extremopile) proteins will probably suffer irreversible structural changes in about that temperature change, it's not super great proof.
Your solution is not naive in my opinion because you set the size of the buffer and use map/filter but ok... Let's check. Your solution is the slowest from all the solutions.

It took 4.6s which only confirms what I wrote on beginning when we started this discussion. Perf counters for your solution in here:

At 0:00 the pink hatchback is well behind the car it's trying to pass. At 0:02 the brake lights of the SUV illuminate; the pink hatchback is still not quite caught up to the car it's trying to pass. Instead of braking, the hatchback keeps accelerating trying to beat the closing gap. No signaling at any time. Looks much more like bad judgment than bad luck.

Will vue be the new hotness in javascript land? Will it replace react as the next best thing? Kind of funny the author devotes a paragraph to this question too. But still wondering!

I know both frameworks differ, but I see/read that more and more developers start with vue whereas those kind of posts half a year ago would have been with react instead.

I sort of liked react, as far as I find doing javascript enjoyable. The whole thing making it complicated at first is that flux/redux thing.
Guys, I got it!

More importantly, I didn't post the framework release to make this a discussion "SourceForge vs Github".

> Then again, he didn't work for the German government.

As I outlined in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13272352 in Germany many people don't consider the government as "us", but as "them" (those who rule "us"). So I don't believe that there would be large hatred in the German population (in opposite to the politicians) if Snowden betrayed the German government instead.

I know, and it matches my experience. But the user tw04 seems to disagree with more than flimsy reasoning.

> Take a nasty English joke about lawyers and replace "lawyer" by "politician" and you get the whole mentality quite well.

I wish I could find it now, but Sebastian Haffner mentioned this in one of his books... the German tendency to consider politics as something dirty the private person better keep out of, while both despising and admiring those nasty politicians. I think that sarcasm is a form of cowardice. The way I see it, either you're a responsible citizen or you're not, politics is way too important to leave it to professional politicians. But that's neither here nor there.. one thing is sure, if I had a cent for every time an American or right-wing European tells me some nonsense about Germany, I could buy HN a pretty stylesheet.

As a dyslexic, it seems that my brain does not process sound in the same way that those good at learning language does. I was recently talking with an Emeritus Professor of Neuroscience - it seems that my brain can remember how words sound because I can remember someone saying the word, however, words for me do not have phonics attached to them, and understanding the sounds that letters make together is incomprehensible for me.

> 'Another person quoted in the article correctly identified the housing supply issue. "For all that, Hernandez-Goff thinks the systemic problems – housing shortages, wage stagnation, inequality – are beyond her."'

While the Hernandez-Goff agrees that they are systemic problems, she does not mention how to address housing shortages. Many think that one needs to spend money to create more (affordable) housing, but the real solution is simply to address the market inefficiency caused to benefit special interest groups.

That she cites wage stagnation and inequality makes it sound like she doesn't understand the zoning density restriction because eliminating the rent-seeking zoning law restrictions eliminates the inequality and wage stagnation is not an issue because housing costs will drop meaning people can afford more on the same wages.
