I think it's important to recognize that this is far from the only study pointing to this, and that similar problems are associated with CFL's.

For example, here is a 2014 study, "White Light–Emitting Diodes (LEDs) at Domestic Lighting Levels and Retinal Injury in a Rat Model" http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1307294/

This article cites numerous studies in the quotes section ( scroll down) http://lowvision.preventblindness.org/daily-living-2/artific...

Links to eye toxicity, macular degeneration, and blindness are not the only problems associated with new lighting either, which tends to be very heavy in the blue components. Lots of research links usage of blue-heavy white lighting to damaging circadian rhythms, which can lead to significant health effects. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110912092554.h...

This year the AMA issued a public safety warning regarding LED street lights because of the association with circardian rhythm disruption and related health effects. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/21/health/led-streetlights-ama/in...

Paul Jaminet has stated that circadian rhythm disruption has been more strongly linked to cancer than any food study, ever.

I use the GE Align PM LED bulbs, available on Amazon, which cut out most of the blue frequencies and largely address both sets of problems. Highly recommended. https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-93842-350-Lumen-Dimmable/...

Many studies have already produced similarly disturbing findings, although I don't know if this specific study has been replicated. See my other comment.
The median starting salary for CS majors at schools like Cornell and CMU is over $100,000. If you are good and target companies in certain areas it is not difficult to break $100,000 coming out school. Most coursework master's programs are cash cows at universities, outside of the top 30 or so the admission criteria is rather lax as well.

One problem with AdBlue is that the car makers decided that the car owners were not supposed to refill it, it was considered more like an oil change than a fill-up. So the tank needs to be large enough to cover a full maintenance interval - which either requires quite a large tank or creative solution to limit consumption. And - meh - the decision was made to limit consumption.

There has never, ever been a better time to be an amateur film director. And the best way to learn the skills is by making films.

I was a professional filmmaker for almost 20 years before my move into VR, and I can assure you I didn't have a lot of cinematic skill when I started :)

You can cheerfully shoot a festival-worthy film on a modern smartphone. If you want to go a bit higher-end you can rent all the kit needed to outfit a professional two-week shoot for a few grand. You'll still need to find people to cast and crew, but that's a solvable problem.

It's a terrible time to be a professional filmmaker, because of distribution woes, but if you want to make films and you have another job (and you're not terribly worried if they don't get distribution beyond some festival showings), there has never been a better time in the history of the medium to do it.
Absolutely - I'd love to see more along the lines of Tag Heuer's 'Connected' watches (which I think all have LCD faces), but stepping back to mechanical time.

At it's most basic, just a notification light that mirrors that on my phone/tablet.

Ideally, I think a ticker-tape-style circular display around the edge of the (real mechanical) watch face to give notification headings would be awesome.
There's a difference between needing 100,000,000 games and 50,000 for training to be the best. That difference is learning efficiency and astuteness - a good way of judging AI progress, no?

Christians Against Poverty (CAP) has a good reputation in the UK.

They give training on financial wisdom and help people get their life back on track.

Interesting one simple advice they give is to prefer using cash over credit/debit cards to keep a better idea of spending. Withdraw X amount a week and be disciplined to stay within your means. They give other counselling and assistance as per their website.

You can make a feature on your smartphone. Time is more of an issue, but you really, really don't need much cash. And you can make a short film in a weekend on a zero budget, comfortably.

See this article on "Layover" - made for $6k - and remember that you could shoot for much less.

Hell, Sundance sensation "Tangerine" was shot on an iPhone.

Turning that into a full-time profession is a different animal, though. If you really want to do that as a career, I'd advise learning a lot about the realities of the indie filmmaking life before jumping. It's not a great time for that move.
SymPy: symbolic computing in Python

The definition?
Apple's App Store breaks even, and Google loses money on their market. Most app stores have classically done pretty bad. Hell: Steam's revenue is flat (new news as of today); and, if you consider its income,
is meaningless to Microsoft. So, no: Microsoft almost certainly doesn't care about this market from a monetary perspective, no matter how large you like to think 30% is (which itself is just so deceptive: they provide diatribution and license management in addition to payment processing; conservatively high estimates of the take of a 30%-of-rebenue app store is usually more like 10%).

The reason these companies have gated stores and force paynents through them is for control over developers and lock in of purchases for users: what makes Steam a target for Microsoft is not that they extract some piddly percentage of a meager business on top of their platform, but the very premise here that if Steam ever wanted to they could just walk to another platform and users would get to take the investment of their software with them. Users on Android who spend hundreds of dollars on software from the Play Store will have to buy all that software again if they want it on an iPhone, but users who bought hundreds of dollars of software from Steam on Windows get to take it all with them if they move to Linux. If Microsoft has a graphic with Steam crossed out and Microsoft written in, it is for control, not revenue.

I agree. Here in germany it was also planned to shutdown FM in favor for DAB already for 2010. It was then canceled and postponed due to the fact that nobody has a DAB receiver.

But of course nobody wants to get a DAB receiver as long as they cost 200€ extra, and therefore FM is still the standard in cars. As cars have a super long lifetime that means every car that is now sold with FM works against a FM->DAB switch in 10 years. So even the new plans like "we switch FM off in 2025 if the majority has a DAB radio then" won't work. There should now (or even multiple years ago) have some regulations that car manufacturers have to offer DAB for the same price as FM to get more traction. In the meantime building DAB receivers is often even not more expensive than FM if both are build on top of a software defined radio. However car manufacturers still sell DAB extra for maximising profit.
Mathematica is one of the two pieces of proprietary software I use, but I no longer have a free (academic) license so I haven't used it in a while.

But it's very buggy on Linux, and did not work out of the box last time I tried it. It somehow violates the X11 protocols (some window managers have Mathematica-specific workarounds) and in my case the windows were all over and mouse clicks didn't hit the correct positions. I can't justify buying $300 worth of software I need twice a year and I can't trust to work correctly.

I've used SymPy and Maxima but they are not as easy to use. I managed with SymPy to get some results but they were not as well simplifies as Mathematica results. Maxima was nearly impossible to use for me as I have no background in symbolic computation and the documentation expects you to understand the algorithms (e.g. different methods for simplification).

The biggest plus of Mathematica is the docs. They have tons and tons of examples and every function is thoroughly documented. And it is easy enough for me to understand without a lot of math background.

> you basically arbitrage from US retailers to amazon/ebay?

Yes.

>It seems you are doing retail arbitrage?

Retail arbitrage has a technical meaning in the industry, it refers to physically going into stores to buy inventory. What I'm doing is referred to as drop shipping or "online arbitrage" (where you buy inventory online then take possession and sell it).

>Like when there is a sale on Toy R Us, you list that same item on Amazon/Ebay. But don't you need to keep the stock you buy at some place first? How do you deal when AMZ just price matches it?

First of all, it's not all sales. Many of the items I sell are a regular price at the source, amazon just doesn't have stock or charges more. Items where Amazon isn't on the listing are much better.

For drop shipping, the point is that you have the retailer ship directly to the customer, so I don't need to keep the stock. There are some things I do buy, have it sent to amazon warehouses for fulfilment.

>In your post history, you said 300K sales. That's all from drop shipping?

Around half drop shipping, around half either FBA or MF but with shipping it myself (or a warehouse). Did over 100k in November, and 50k in December. I'm hoping to build up to 250k a month or so over the next year.

I've never done PL so I can't help too much there.
First, the article starts talking about the accept() and thundering herd but the example shows use of the select().

Second, accept() goes over a queue of the established connections created by a listen() call

Looking back, I don't know if I can tell my former college self what the real world is like. But, I can easily pinpoint out what isn't going to work.

If you aren't getting an A in that subject, that isn't going to work out for you. An A can be literally be a grade in a course, or how relatively well you think you did in some other non-trivial project.

It's not just that it's a competitive world out there. If you didn't do A work, there is a strong chance that your interests don't line up and never will. Your ambitions likely will only be realized what you have all the odds in your favor.

Look at your track record and see where you have done well in the past.

It's also wrapped up in the move from hunting and gathering to farming. Hunting is relatively random and while skill plays a role you can't rely on it. Also excess meat won't last too long so why not share? Farming is more reliable and when bad luck hits it often hits an entire group at once. And it involved more unpleasant labor to farm a lot of food meaning incentives become more important.
There are some such algorithms. You don't encounter them as often because we are biased towards encountering algorithms that can be implemented efficiently or at least can be approximated efficiently (i.e., a great many "NP-complete" problems admit of usable approximation algorithms with varying degrees of usability).

Plus, in perhaps a bit deeper philosophical sense, we are ourselves biased towards expressing problems that have relatively simple complexities as their solution. While there are some simple problem that have complicated optimal solutions, certainly, I'd say that in general the vast bulk of problems for which the optimal solution has Ackermann's complexity are problems that we can't really express or manipulate, either. We focus a lot on our ability to create and express solutions because problems in the real world tend to force themselves upon us since long since before computer science was even a thing, but our ability to express problems is limited too!

"Five years is not enough time to think about how we should make any money in a way congruent with our founding values? That just doesn’t compute."

"they sweat the details like nobody else"

It sounds to me like they focused very aggresively on user satisfaction / user experience based on DHH's quote above. Figuring out how what pricing / service model looks like, what sales should look like, etc. obviously takes some amount of effort > 0. It would appear based on the above that Medium focused on the one side of the pendulum more than the other side in the balance. That would've been their undoing regardless of VC money (as without VC money they would've had to put focus on a revenue model earlier which would've led to a different experience than the one he had).

This is typically why folks talk about Product Market fit. Both sides of that _very_ complicated relationship are important.

Instead we have an in-house piece of software pattern matching between SAP (Centrelink), across a shaky VPN built by Telstra in the 90s with only spartan updates since, to a poorly configured REST service(MyGov), and from there to the ATO running some IBM software.

It wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't had an 80% staff turnover every year since beginning the mygov project.

Instead of unifying departments, so that the data matching project had a chance at working, or being improved, a new layer of fragmentation was added.

And everyone but the non-IT IT manager gets fired.

I would be happy with touch (or voice responsive) screens in stores telling me where to look. Surely a cheaper, maybe, more useful option. I mean all the info is there in the auto checkout, why can't there be such screens scattered throughout the store.
