Can confirm, after gaining 30 KG in a year from medications, BUT it's worse off of them. Not having money in the family, not having for basic things that my peers have, not being able to find work... I feel trapped in my situation and everybody says wait till you're 18 (17 since January), but every day is torture and like a year to me, waiting a year AND then trying to find a job is painful. And not to mention I'm not even going to school because of extensive social anxiety that prevents me from leaving my house and even interacting with people in the house. I used to find comfort in technology but even that is passing and I find myself not being satisfied by anything. Note, I am visiting a psychiatrist and a psychologist and but the situation in my family is bad and ... Sorry for venting here, but HN is my only "social" life.

Quite likely. This kind of content is something people tend to maintain out of their own interest in the subject and willingness to share. Ads are added more like as a "why not?" thing.

The article does not make sense.

Propaganda comes from the Church and means "Spreading the news", basically what Jesus told disciples to do. The meaning later changed to spreading partial information with the objective of controlling the masses.

The real propaganda comes from mass media, so it really starts with Gutenberg press, but it gets really powerful with the invention of the offset printing method.

Before that, it was just the law of the strongest, if you were against the king or Emperor, Ceasar, khan or the Senate, they will simply kill you, people spent most of the time working because life was extremely hard. No much propaganda as we know it.

Scientists being propaganda? Give me a break! After french revolution(revolutionaries were the first to identify the mass of the people as powerful, before that they were nobodies), all the scientific institutions in France were closed for being Royalist.

This actually meant France to lag in scientific matters against England, even when it was France who started it.

American think tanks have nothing to do with this as they come from industrialists, that did not even exist in Europe at the time of the Royal institutions.

The point is that you don't need a landline/broadband for any of those. 3G and a smartphone is more than enough.
I wonder why that doesn't happen today. It's technically accessible. I've seen a blimp with a banner in the past once. No audio. What stops ad people from jumping at this medium?
Facebook can remove it from public view however any posts you make are the property of Facebook and so they continue to hold onto it.
Just thought the same while playing. I was always sure that if I press once more then the tile is exactly rotated like I want it, but instead it was the other way around. It's interesting that we keep such a feeling how Tetris should work after all these years.
Although I agree, this is not the place to have that soundoff.

Write an article about how people fetishize complicated solutions to simple problems and how it creates a dysfunctional complexity and egocentric culture without focusing on the merits of appropriate solutions to appropriate problems. It'd be a good read.

But not in the comment section here since this was clearly a hobbyist project and not as an attack. The merits of the claim are lost in the hostility of the execution.
I think that people aren't depressed by a chemical imbalance but instead that is the result of their situation. And I think helping people by improving their quality of life might help them feel better. That's my case, but there might be people who have everything yet feel empty, in that case love, family, support and medications can help. Just don't be afraid to ask for different meds if the side effects you don't like, like for example gaining weight or twitching or nystagmus or something like that (i had all 3 and more)...
Personally I wouldn't mind having to put the groceries in my car, just having to go in and grap the already packed bags.

Can Online Delivery Increase Access to Education?
I don't necessarily agree.

Look at Android phones now. Midrange phones come with more RAM, a comparable or better screen resolution (in 5"), and frequently offer dual band WiFi. [0]

Sure, you can't upgrade anything on the phone and you're lucky if even the kernel source code is released. But the Allwinner A64 chip Olimex is using has crap support in Linux anyway: you won't have hardware accelerated 2D or 3D.

And please, arguments of "it's modular" don't hold water. You can't upgrade the EMMC because it's not socketed. Ditto for RAM and WiFi chipset. So the only "upgrade" path is to replace the entire PCB.

iFixit regularly skewer Apple for putting everything on one board. Conceivably you could upgrade a MacBook by replacing the entire logic board, but no one seriously considers this.

Why not just buy a Raspberry Pi and a laptop shell like the Motorola Atrix? You can buy new old stock for around $50, and every other month there's a kick starter to create a USB3 version for ~$100 [1]

Through forking + gevent and then sleeping in each request handler. Of course it measures nothing other than a whole bunch of while loops running in one fork per CPU waiting for just about nothing. In other words, I'm benchmarking "how much memory do I have", which is pointless. But it sure does scale!
Yes I have, and I'm not talking about a cluster of servers.
"Nobody cares about what type of stitching, what the source of the fabric, or what artistic inspirations a garment has. All that matters is the comfort and aesthetics of the wearer."

Every hobby, craft, and profession has people making things that aren't for the end market user, but are for the education of the maker/practitioner. If you're not interested in it, thats fine. If you want to critique the user experience as a way of constructively learning/teaching about user experience, thats great.

If you just want to come here and fart on people for not always being 100% focused on the market... why?

Ask HN: How to disable “dynamic” browser title bar contents
Sorry for a possible stupid question, but I could not find anything with google.

Quite a few web sites use the browser title bar/favicon to indicate changes they think I should be aware of (the most obvious example: I get a message in facebook, and the facebook tab of my browser starts blinking. That is both annoying and distracting)

So, how do I tell my (chromium) browser not to ever change the contents of the title bar of a tab unless I reload the page, or, if that is difficult, change it only when the tab in question is selected?
I've designed this app using Meteor and Interact.js. It is made for document creative sessions and also for running remote ones.
Specially interesting for design thinking processes. Business Model Canvas and Empathy Map templates are included.

>> lack of inertia.

> [...] That's intuitive to me.

It was a popular idea a long time ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia#Early_understanding_of... and after teaching physics I think that inertia is not so intuitive. What did you thought when you were 13 years old and had no formal training in physics?

> OP's point is not that intuition is infallible. [...]

The problem is that if you ask enough people, each one may have a different intuitive idea. Some of them will be slightly different and some of them completely contradictory. Everyone has an intuitive idea of how to manage economy and a country, but not everyone has the same intuition about that.

That's why to do science you can use intuition to design experiments and make theories, but you MUST confirm them with experiments.

Sounds like a great way to get robbed... Drivers only take cash, robber decides to rob driver of all cash.

Transactoons need to happen through the phone, not cash.
I agree. I don't think you can get past that stage without a few 'aha' moments that make you rethink things.

The mindset might be a bit of a trap because it can make you more isolated, which could then make those 'aha' moments less likely. In that position, you're right, waiting for it to fix itself won't be very effective so a more proactive approach sounds better.
I agree, that would be a great read. Also, I think there is value in having standard exercises that people do just as a way of learning and then talking about their learning.

I've recently discovered https://book.mixu.net/css/ and want to test if it actually makes it easier to think about css layout in the context of an app. Maybe I'll find the time to work through this and do a writeup.
It's nice because simple, but the quality of the plugins and the documentation is not very good. You end up wasting a bit of time discovering how to do even simple stuff.

The nice thing is that you can easily knock together a plugin to do what you need

These articles don't say that regular tubes are faster than transistors, only that "vacuum-channel transistors" (nano-scale devices inspired by tubes but different) could possibly eventually be faster than semiconductors.

But these articles are from 2014 and 2012 and they contradict easily looked up facts. The 2012 article claims that this technology promises speeds of up to 460GHz, which seems to have already been topped by regular semiconductor transistors, even by 2003: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Feng#World.27s_fastest_... for a really old example.

So to me it seems that this research is in a very early stage and no one knows whether the finished product (if it is ever finished) will be faster than semiconductors. Of course the researchers working on this must make big promises or they wouldn't get grants, but that's how the grant system works today, and it doesn't tell you anything about how viable the product is.

edit: Not to sound to negative here, I am really looking forward to this new technology and hope it will turn out alright. But it looks very much like fundamental research, so I take issue with broad claims like "by their nature, tubes are much faster than semiconductors, which has its uses", when apparently nothing has left the laboratory yet.

I do. Internet, day by day is becoming a channel to deliver more and more targeted ads.
I think the free internet provision is driven by this need, and not out of a honest urge to "empower" the poor. So in other words, if you give free internet to poor who is uninitiated, you are paving way for their oppression and exploitation....

I used Clearcase a while back in an office in China. Every few days there'd be an email going round pleading with people to keep their antivirus software up-to-date; because someone had a virus somewhere, and apparently the virus would try to infect executables on the Clearcase virtual drive, at which point Clearcase would obligingly check the infected file into the VCS and distribute it to all clients...

The court relied on the fact that google already copies data between datacentres (I suspect across borders as well). This means there isn't a lot of meaning to google copying data across borders on an order.

Nobody is arguing switching production systems to the new algorithms anytime remotely soon. The closest I've heard of is Google adding a mixed ECC/post-quantum crypto algorithm in Chrome's Canary (bleeding edge channel)[1], but the whole point of the construction is that you need to break both (or break XOR, I guess :P). As far as I can tell, we're still in the early "is this algorithm any good" stage as opposed to the "did we implement the algorithm right" stage.

More generally, its pretty easy to turn any security recommendation by the NSA into a plot (they recommend SHA-3 cause they broke it and not SHA-2!). I'd save my suspicion for cases where they (a) give advice contrary to independent experts or (b) give strangely specific guidance with no apparent rationale.

I actively try and avoid delivery where possible because to me it's less convenient (within reason, eg i wouldn't drive too far or pay too much more):

1. The delivery guy may assume I'm not home, and hence leave a missed delivery card without knocking (way too common...)

2. If i know i won't be home: all the " permission to leave" forms are different (or sometimes not possible; and are a hassle)

3. Sometimes there's no good place to leave the item, so leaving isn't possible ( often the postie refuses even though I gave the permission, because we disagree about what's okay)

4. If i need it now, I'm in control if i go get it. (Added perk of physically comparing in some cases.)

5. _usually_ resolution time for issues with pickups is faster than deliveries (eg i notice in store (eg wrong item or size - which i've had a few times online), or can quickly go back).

6. When i'm shopping for a delivered item i don't yet know what the full cost will be (assuming no free prime-like option) and it often varies stupidly.

(At present all my deliveries actually go to a family member's house cause I know they'll be home, so no signing or leaving issues...)

I feel like my life setup must be a bit different to others :-) But I find it interesting how different my perception is to the others in this thread :-)

$60 to watch at home was unreasonable - definitely the law was broken, but this is what happens when they charge unreasonable amounts, it was almost a form of civil disobedience.

I would say that a lot of people who watched it on the streaming were not going to pay anyway, so the loss was probably minimal in reality.

I was kind of scratching my head there. I'm programmed to look at this kind of a write-up and just assume that they violated lots of assumptions, had a poor fit, and were weakly predictive when validated against new data.

"delta of delta" is only used for timestamps, not for values. In any standard monitoring setup, the acceleration of timestamps will be 0 for a big portion of measurements, and very small for a big portion of the rest, so it makes compression extremely easy and efficient.

Also if today you are using one of the compared setups you should know what performance you currently have and what tuning went into it to get a relativity.
