>which forced me learn the hard way about the big-parma lie 'chemical imbalance of the brain' theory

Its not a lie, simply that what you were taking isn't helping. There can be a lot of reasons for that, the most obvious one being that it doesn't work for you. Drugs for mental health are still very much unknown, but there are definite benefits for /some/ people.

Overall, with or without drugs, you've gotta do what works for you, and thats what lets you work out of it. What people mean by that is to change around your lifestyle. No, you can't just change your overall feelings and thoughts in such a small time, but you can change what you're doing, right now. Perhaps, rather than working with React and projects on your off time, you make tables. Perhaps you volunteer at local shelters, churches, etc. Perhaps you add in some gym time, run time, just do something physical because it makes you feel different. Perhaps you don't do anything productive to anyone else at all and instead just do some things for /you/. Thats okay, and its not a cop-out.

Quotes and sayings don't change things, but they do provide some perspective. Famously, an anthro professor once said to their students:
>“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”

Ask HN: Is it possible to have hidden call recording app on Nokia S40?
I have a phone who's owner suspects wiretapping and asked me to check. There are apps that claim this possibility but the platform doesn't look advanced enough for this. Also this app should be hidden as there's nothing suspicious in app list now (or maybe it's some kind of self-destructible). I highly doubt it's possible at all as platform should support hidden apps and heavy background tasks at the same time but I'm not mobile developer so this is just a guess. So is this theoretically possible and, if so, is there a way I can check to be sure phone is (not) clean?
Thanks.

I've had a similar problem and the advice that's always given to me is "The term 'expert' is mostly about perception." Credentials help when you're trying to sell your services because they're used as a proxy for competence. Having a track record of success can also work. Start small.
I just finished that not long ago. It's an interesting read because it places an emphasis on the value on simple and statistically effect algorithms that can be executed by humans with relatively low cognitive overload.

Many of the algorithms and ideas are familiar, but the novelty here is how one can map these CS lessons to improve performance on the human OS and human network.
This would be my recommendation as well. It is closer to a textbook, than say a popular science book, but is still a very fun, engaging, and at times pretty funny read.

Similarly to books like GEB, it really exposed me to a whole range of fascinating ideas and topics that I am now interested in.
The "about" section of your website says you live in Switzerland.

At least here it's not legal for a mobile operator to give you a phone number if they don't have your ID (not even a prepaid number) so I supposed it was the same in the whole EU. Therefore I imagined you heard somewhere there's an operator in Thailand that lets you get a number without giving an ID, maybe even for free, so you wanted to get one to auth in Twitter. But such a system would be abused by spammers so Twitter had blocked that operator already.

Yes, quite the elucubration, I know.

> Meds made everything worse (which forced me learn the hard way about the big-parma lie 'chemical imbalance of the brain' theory)

Many people are helped by such meds. But our bodies are all different and sometimes our symptoms are caused by different reasons and fixed by different solutions. Just because you weren't helped by them doesn't mean they're a lie. There's a whole world out there of other people having different experiences than you've had.
Not that I see that as a big problem, but - as long as the social component is strong enough, I don't see why not. I sometimes get nostalgic for the times I played e-sports competitively (Battlefield 2).
It's true that a single global mutex will not provide such locking granularity, but unordered_map does provide bucket api allowing you to find a bucket by key.
This means that for a pair p, you can find the relevant bucket at index i, lock mutex i and insert to the map. The only problem you need to deal with is rehashing which can be solved by wrapping the hash function with a modulo operation and playing around with the max_load_factor.
(I could write a short sample later, it would be a very thin wrapper.)

IIRC the extra clauses of the AGPL are triggered on modification of the work (which is restricted to copyright holders and licensees), not on public performance or communicating over the network.

Javascript will use Numpy and then both will rule data science.
Unfortunately, there's two SD interfaces on the board, and the one that does eMMC (or the SD card on a normal Pi) can only do storage and can't do SDIO. The 2nd interface is used for the wireless on the Pi 3, but that one's brought out externally on the CM, so you can't really do that.

The answer is to put the wireless on the carrier board for the CM, of course, but that's awkward because of the regulatory requirements on wireless bits.

Maybe you instinctively apply appropriate pressure using the front brake.

If you slam on the rear brake only or simply much harder than the front brake, the rear wheel locks up before coming to a stop. The bike will continue forward with the front wheel rolling and the rear wheel sliding. If there's slight braking on the front wheel, the rear starts sliding around the front, twisting the cyclist.
Call out culture's effect is multiplied by social media. And I am not sure that it was the norm in the 90s. Most people were raised with the values that you minded your own business, often too far that way.

That was the culture up until lately, and even if it was present earlier, it certainly didn't have the consequences (good or bad) as it does now.
> Are the immigrants evenly distributed between them?

No. There was a hot debate about this in 2015, with countries that take more refugees than average [1] arguing for quotas that would implement a more even distribution. I distinctly remember that a compromise was made, and in the end, some 50 refugees were actually relocated to a different EU country.

I recently found out a "verified certificate" is not actually verified in any way by Coursera.

It seems they have dropped the verification step they used to have before completing assignments [1].

Coursera have initiated this change without even an announcement or any communication. I feel it is a bit disingenuous to claim the person completing the course has been verified when they have done none of that.

You could say what we have today is a disaster. The problem that everyone seems to ignore is Obamacare failed because it did nothing to address the cost-side of healthcare. All it did was add more demand for health services (hey if I have health insurance now, I should use it right?.) Prices go up when demand goes up, that's just the way it goes.

We need a single-payer system. I think what's coming is fantastic, even if it's a total shit-show (which I expect it to be in the short term) because it will create momentum for a single-payer system.

Keep in mind that I pay nearly $24k/year in premiums + copays/etc because our son is a type-1 diabetic, so I'm painfully aware of how bad the system is. I paid $3,000 less last year - so Obamacare has done jack-shit for my plan costs, despite their trying to say Obamacare has slowed health insurance cost increases.

Pre-made? If you're making your own coffee, using relatively cheap coffee, I'd calculate to about 11 cents per cup.

~$5 for a cheap rolly bag, those usually last me about 2 weeks at ~3 cups per day. Even if my estimates are terribly wrong, we're talking a couple cents difference.

If your problem is with coffee you buy at a shop, then I think the issue is that you're paying for the wages of the person making the coffee too, and those have certainly gone up more than the rate of inflation since coffee was a dime.
Pricing the exernalities of oil and coal into them might be quite a good idea---especially since it encourages boring things like just using less heating or driving less. Those boring options are seldom encouraged in `politician picks the winner in a beauty contest' subsidies.

I wonder why noone has ever tried selling eg a carbon tax (or any kind of broad and useful tax) in combination with basic income? If you earmark the windfall from a carbon tax to be equally shared by all residents, you get quite a few natural allies and take the wind out of the sail of arguments along the lines of "think of all the poor people".
33 Tools for Product Creation (But Don’t Get Distracted)
When you're trying to get hired, talk the talk you know about the problems the company has, not about all of the skills you have. If you're able to focus the discussions on how a subset of your skills provide lots of value to the company, that's what's going to get you hired. Show that you know the domain that the employer wants to see. Definitely mention your other skills, but don't make them the focus of your interactions in the hiring process.

Then, once you've been hired and start working, you will naturally use your other skills to add value to the company. After you've been with the company for a little bit and have shown your other skills to also be valuable, that's a good time to discuss getting more formal authority in other areas and/or a raise to compensate you for the duties you've taken on.
Really interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Not sure all countries have to follow this, china must have done this to compensate the growth hence the infra projects with in countries help. I think other countries rather than spending money on this can develop meaning full telecom infrastructure to villages (connecting all of them) and ensure population is spread out and people continue to there where they are than flocking to cities.
Ask around in your local arts scene. Many professional photographers offer short courses to small groups of people.

I agree this HES course's, umm, focus, is about camera engineering rather than how to use the camera.

They could have mentioned how to use nice glass for composition. For example, mobile phone cameras are great. The best reason these days to schlep a CAMERA camera instead of a phone is the lens. Do you want a big aperture (narrow depth of field)? Bring your CAMERA. Do you want a super long lens for making pictures of faraway stuff. Bring your CAMERA.

Some CAMERAs have another cool hack. You can put them in to black-and-white mode and their viewfinders show black and white. That's a great way for an amateur photog to learn to see light unconfused by color.

I agree. Consider what's at stake for them. I can't even begin to wrap my head around how bad that would be if an entire server farm got rooted. At least defending a bank you know what the attacker's endgame is: steal money/SSN's. If a server farm were hacked, you'd see identity theft, blackmail, massive customer (and e-commerce) downtime, malware distribution, ddos/large botnets, market manipulation (if you started spreading false news about a particular company, at scale, on social media), perhaps brute-force RSA/SSL cracking. If those guys got hacked, it could be an absolute shitstorm. So I dont blame them at all for creating their own TPM or whatever.

Many people don't have much income but are quite healthy, easily able to go years without medical services (yes, in fact a great many people do). All they need is "catastrophic coverage", but that alone is illegal under ACA.

Likewise the rich. If you're earning millions per year, you don't need ACA-imposed "$50 co-pay" type coverage for common services totaling under $100,000/yr. (Listen to Rush Limbaugh rant about such issues: forcing him to buy ACA-approved health coverage is stupid; he could buy the hospital if need be.)

Comes down to marketplace & choice: it's my life, and my money, who are you to force me (under threat of violence from the state) to buy what you consider sufficient coverage? Let's discuss fixing systemic problems with narrowly targeted solutions, yes, but don't fine me $3000/yr for preferring to pay my own way out-of-pocket completely up to $10,000/yr.

There is not clear legal structure, but two practices are commonly advertised by white-hat professionals:

- only test your access on your own (test) accounts; as long as then can’t prove that you accessed someone else’s information, you should be fine; anecdotally, I have worked for Facebook, where you are not supposed to create fake accounts; on the white-hat page, you can ask to have test accounts for that purpose exclusively: those are entirely independent from the rest of the graph and you are joyfully encourage to try to hack yours;

- warn the security team ahead of time and tell them without feedback from them, you will publish the information in X weeks. If what you have found is valuable, you should hear back fast; if they do not respond, you can argue that it was their silence who let you know this was not their priority (a legally dubious argument but most of the community will be happy to criticise their silence). You are not bound by their response (some corporations can be very unreasonable) but specifying that you have not hacked any account except a test one should help you if they throw lawyerese at you.

One way to avoid being caught off-guard by those is to have a bounty program, but that’s not in security consultants’ hands.
Oh, even in a Henry George and other economists sense you can substitute different factors of production. The distinction is a bit more subtle.

Ie building a multi-story building swaps capital for land. Georgism is (among other things) about untaxing capital and labour, so that such substitutions can work out better.
At some point, "extracting" resources from landfills becomes economically viable.

This is the beauty of the market - interests are balanced against one another and an equilibrium is reached. If more people want cars than can be built, prices go up and demand goes down. Someone out there finds a way to make cars more cheaply, which reduces per-unit resources costs, allowing more people access to them.

Also, overpopulation is never going to be an issue in the sense that you're considering here. Population growth is inversely correlated to economic success, to the point that developed nations have reproduction rates below that of replacement. As people are raised out of poverty the world's population growth will slow, and if we are successful at eliminating poverty, reverse.
