Hacker news is a racist cesspool, you shouldn't be surprised.
Yeah. The hypothesis seems to be that the blue end of the spectrum is the danger here, LEDs being relatively bluer than incandescents or common fluorescent phosphors.

But even so, the high energy spectral content of indoor LED lighting is much, much less than what you see from direct sunlight. If LEDs are really a vision risk to the modern office worker, they're significantly less so than the same risk of agricultural or other outdoor workers.
I disagree with that. Like the ethics thing showed. The republicans without trump are more lost than the democrats.

If Trump survives the stress of being president, and still runs he'll win the primary. Or he'll pick his successor, maybe his Daughter or her husband.

You don't quite understand 401ks. You can choose either contribute tax free (traditional) or have tax-free growth (Roth). You can't do both in the same account.

This doesn't change the fact that the rules may be changed at some point, but given the ridiculously low limits on 401k contributions anyway you might as well put some money in one. Worst case scenario is you wind up paying taxes on t anyway, but then again you might not.

No matter how you slice it you won't wind up paying more taxes than you will if you pay them now and invest without any tax sheltering.
If the city wants to contract with Uber (or FedEx or UPS or...) to do pavement management surveys, that could be an interesting conversation. But that's not what the city is asking for or has proposed.

Instead of imagining uses for their data, let's realize it's their data that we have individually given them and we may not want the city - any city - to have.

Remember Uber's (terrible) "Rides of Glory" post describing how they could detect hooksups - http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/blog/ubers-deleted-rides-of-gl... ?

Now imagine that in your local government's hands.

Is it possible that this is just a problem with LEDs that flicker[1] because they don't rectify the AC? The blurb didn't mention this problem, but presumably that's not what's going on here.

IMHO not exactly. I feel the same and decreased list of following people couple times. Couple days ago I've thought about switch to HackerNews & Publish only mode because I feel like everybody around has great life, skills, projects and work for awesome companies.

There's too many successful stories around that sometimes can cause depression more than stories about failures. It's a bit hard to explain properly in single HN comment. I'll try to blog about it during the weekend. If You're interested - follow me on twitter (@lukaszkups), cheers!
I find myself doing the same thing with HN. Most of the time I love it, but it seems once in awhile the contrarians come out to play, and meaningful discussions drop to zero.
I think the latest onboard Intel graphics (the ones used on gaming laptops at least) can drive a trio 4k screens [1] - I assume that would allow the battery last longer when not gaming. FWIW (anecdotal), I have a 4K non-touch Windows laptop with nVidia dGPU switching, and I can barely get 3h on battery (am a heavy Chrome user).

Well, yes. A domain name, when backed by an SSL certificate, gives a modicum of certainty that information is not being siphoned to a third party.

A password manager running outside my browser and only communicating the bare minimum required by a page, after checking its certificate, sound like a good idea. LastPass is almost there; the only reservation is that it's not run on a machine controlled by you. Other similar solutions overcome this limitation.

A browser extension is actually a great approach, too: it can and should be open-source and signed, thus reasonably tamper-proof. It should, again, do the bare minimum regarding the communication with the actual password store. Its usefulness is mostly in discovering the mapping between form controls and info to be stored.

Is this analysis independent on whether I'm the party who gets paid for the ad clicks? It makes sense to me that if I make someone sign a thing saying I get money per click, and then go ahead and simulate clicks, I'm defrauding them, but if I'm just some random guy, why's it on me to play nice with their method of detecting clicks?

> yes some races/genders are more qualified than other races/genders because on average, they are more likely to spend the time to become qualified (see college and CS major demographics). That is why the tech field skews toward a gender or race over others. Because some races/genders are literally more qualified for tech work than others.

OK, sure.

But this article is about fixing the demographics at the college level: figuring out why it is that some races/genders are more likely to become CS majors, and un-skewing that - so that the number of qualified people graduating with a CS degree is no longer biased on some unrelated demographic attribute. Is it not?

And is that not a desirable thing?
Furthermore, the recent e10s transition was already tree shake of the long tail of ancient add-ons in terms of how many still had old bindings and used ancient versions of the NPAPI.

Then there is the fact that every other browser has, or is in the process, dropped any notion of direct native add-on APIs and an increasing majority of actively developed add-ons for all browsers is now modern "Chrome-style" JS+HTML components.
No, it was clear you were talking about cycling but it is still a pace that's twice as fast.

$10 bottle from one area is not comparable to $10 bottle from different area. There are regions where you can get good quality for $10 (a lot of Hungarian regions) and where $30 is just entry level bottle (say, Burgundy).

I am sure a lot of people will be able to say difference between $10 and $100 bottle given you are tasting wine from same area and the wine is in same style.
Yes, thank you, edited.
If the issue is confined to the uv, it's a dead-simple to fix. A uv-absorbant filter (ie like on all eyewear since the 80s) should eliminate the problem. Costs would be next to nothing. Conversely, anyone worried could don any eyeware, even swimming goggles have such coatings.
It is starts psychologically, but psychological problems can then turn into physical illnesses. A burnout can be stressful and slowly consume you life away with stress and anxiety until you hit rock bottom.

It sounds like you wouldn't be anywhere near the lux levels that present a danger based on this post.
The factors you outlined are definitely a part of the equation, but I'd argue that the US role in geopolitics post-WWII has had a much larger role in its success.

First, Bretton Woods established a system that heavily favored US interests -- it was based on dollars and gold, and the US had most of the gold supply. The US was able to achieve this favorable position thanks to its place as the major merchant-state, lender, and latecomer ally/victor in WWII. Among other effects, this system led to the dollar becoming accepted as the foundation for most international trade in the latter 20th century.

After the dollar's position became less favorable in the late 1960s, the US ended the Bretton Woods system and worked out agreements with OPEC to shift oil trades into dollars. This had the effect of cementing the USD as the currency of global trade (among other benefits), as all countries needed to hold dollars in order to purchase oil. This "agreement" was backed up by US military and economic hegemony.

Additionally, during this time, the global "south" was being pillaged for resources -- particularly oil, but also cropland (see bananas and sugar) and other scarce resources. The US established and propped up dictatorships that were favorable to its aims under the guise of fighting Communism. The USSR was doing the same thing in reverse, of course -- a grand game of chess, with the spoils to the victor.

Finally, the US "won" against the USSR through a combination of clever psychology, propaganda, and economic warfare, as well as Soviet mismanagement. When the USSR collapsed, the US obtained some economic benefits from the disentangling of the Soviet system, prolonging its advantage.

The US position was unsustainable, though, and this is when the shift occurred. With the relative increase in global stability and international "free" trade, as well as the power of the Internet, corporations no longer needed the protection of the US system quite so badly. Outsourcing and distributed operations became more and more common. The US position is not so rosy as it once was. The petrodollar system seems to be unwinding as well.

I do live in the US, so I do hope that the inevitable correction is a slow one. I also hope that we can avoid starting new conflicts in an attempt to prolong or reestablish our advantage.
Bernie Sanders Prints Out Enormous Trump Tweet for Senate Floor
> I really wonder how many people can actually recognise a $10 bottle of wine from a $30 bottle of wine - or similar.

The problem is even asking that question. Just because a wine is $3000 does not mean you will like it. Just because a wine is $10 does not mean you will dislike it.

The proper question to ask is: "Do I like this wine enough to spend what they are charging?"

Personally, if I'm eating rather bold food, a simple, nice, straightforward wine is the ticket--and that's probably less expensive. If I'm being a gourmand and having subtle and delicate food, I'm going to want something with a bit more complexity and probably be willing to pay a touch more.

HOWEVER, if you have a wine dealer you can talk to and he figures out you aren't into flexing your "wine penis" but just like good wine, you're going to find your price bands all over the map. Many of those dealers take it as a personal challenge to find things that are cheaper that you will still like. And sometimes they will recommend something expensive saying: "Yes, this one is everything you've heard and then some."

As always in these sorts of things, be friendly, talk to people and be genuinely interested even if you are an amateur. You will find that good things happen.

> Light sources

> We used two types of lighting devices. For exposure to white LED, commercial cold white LED panel generating 2300 lumens during 24 h was used. The LED panel was placed above 8 transparent cages, placed on white surfaces, leaving enough space for air circulation and constant temperature maintenance at 21 °C. The illuminance measured at the rats’ eyes position was 6000 lux (Photometre DT-8809A, CEM, China).

> For long-term exposure, specific devices were built and characterized by Statice, France (Fig. 1A). Metallic boxes contained rows of LED with a diffuser in order to improve the directional uniformity of the radiation and avoid punctate sources. Alternatively, CCFL or CFL were uniformly distributed around the metal cages. Each cage was placed in a metallic device that was then placed in a ventilated cupboard allowing for a constant 21 °C temperature control (Fig. 1A). The light intensity was controllable and the distribution of light in the cage was homogenous whatever the rat position. Different types of LEDs were used: cold-white LED (pure white 6300 K), blue LED (royal blue 455–465 nm), and green LED (520–35 nm) (Z-power LED, Seoul Semiconductor, Korea). Exposure intensity was spectrophotometrically measured by Statice.

> Exposure protocols

> Acute exposure: LE and W rats were maintained in a cyclic light/dark (250 lux, 12 h/12 h) environment for 21 days. The day before light exposure, rats were dark-adapted for 16 h. The next day, pupils were dilated with 1% atropine (Alcon, Norvartis, Rueil Malmaison, France) under dim light, and rats were isolated in separate cages containing enough food for one day. After 24 h of exposure, rats were placed again in a cyclic light/dark (250 lux, 12 h/12 h) environment for 7 days and sacrificed for histology and immunofluorescence analysis. Control rats were submitted to the same pre conditioning protocol but not exposed to light. Different types of light sources and light intensities were used as detailed in Fig. 1B. For cold-white LED, different light intensities were tested from 6000 lux, to 1500, 1000 and 500 lux. Blue and green LEDs were used at 500 lux which is the domestic classic light intensity. CFL was used at 6000 lux and 500 lux, CCFL at 6000 lux. Illuminance was measured at the level of the rat eye.

> Long-term exposures: Rats (LE and W) were maintained in a cyclic light/dark (250 lux, 12 h/12 h) environment for 21 days, then placed in specific cages for chronic cyclic exposure to different types of light at 500 lux: CFL, white, green and blue LEDs. Animals were sacrificed right after 8 or 28 days of exposure. For the long-term protocol and in order to be as close to domestic light as possible, rat pupils were not dilated.

Yes, an increase in real value of redistribution should raise the reservation wage and suggests increased wages for those people in the (somewhat smaller) labour force, but it will require higher taxes on those income-earners, reducing their real after-tax income. The money has to come from somewhere. I'm not saying that no prices for particular baskets of goods will go up, I'm just saying that general inflation will not occur if UBI is not funded through monetary expansion.

My father (63, I think?) is starting to learn to code. I chose a decent beginner book for him (Python) and spent some time trying to figure out IDE situation would work best. But the places he stumbled were a total surprise to me.

He's never learned to type, imagine coding with hunt-and-peck. Characters like ()[]. he had no idea where to find. He didn't have much understanding of file systems; so things like saving and renaming were tricky.

Anyway, he was pretty thrilled with getting a "hello world" example and one that asks your name and prints out a greeting.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, those who agree or not, your point is constructive.

Why should a government be able to coerce a private organization into providing data? How do you define data? At least in the US, I can think of 2 amendments that would be violated by such action (is data speech? can you be forced to self incriminate?).

There are so many things that the government can force an individual or a business to do in the name of public good, but we can agree that many of those things count as government overreach, why not this?
I can tell when LEDs are strobed at the (double) mains frequency; e.g. Christmas LED lights that likely blink at 120 Hz, since they don't have any electronics beside the LEDs. These do give me a slight nausea.

Compared to these, I can conclude that my home LED lights likely strobe in kHz range or above, or maybe not at all.
