Sandoz patented LSD in 1948, actually. The way patent laws work these days, if there is any pharmaceutical value in LSD, I bet current owner Novartis would fire up their team of lawyers. :/

The medical industry considers the hallucinations recreational LSD users enjoy a nasty side effect. If this wasn't the case, such would possibly be on the market specific known treatments that LSD / psilocybin might help (eg cluster headaches), versus the industry trying to look at similar non-hallucinogenic compounds (eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Bromo-LSD) or other completely different alternatives.

You really need to be able to articulate why you want to do it and then determine if it's really the best way to achieve that goal.

For example, if you want to make more money, I would not do it. Period. However, if you want to be a part time lecturer in computer science, it's more or less required. Different strokes for different folks.

The MVP is dead, long live the RAT
Under a minute when I was practicing. I'm sure it'd take me 2-3 minutes now.

My last algorithm switched the top right and top left edge pieces (as well as two corners which I'll ignore for this explanation). So I look as the top right edge and figure out where it needed to go to be solved, let's say the front left edge. Now if I move the front left edge to the top left, do my algorithm, and move it back, those pieces will be swapped.

Here's where it gets fun: since I know what was originally the front left edge is now going to be in the top right position, I can chain this together when memorizing. So memorizing would sound like "top right goes to front left which goes to back right which goes to..."

In practice this was just me pointing to pieces and visualizing everything. Another strategy is to assign a letter to each piece and remember a string of letters. At most the length of the string will be numEdges -1 + numCorners - 1 = 18.

And then once it's translated to letters you can use more traditional memorization techniques like Roman Rooms. This is how people can solve dozens of cubes at once blindfolded (I've only done three at a time).
How is that different from drinking a fifth of vodka and doing the same? The difference is that in the years of people drinking, and the years of people dropping LSD, we have good stats on which is deadlier.

Someone mentioned physical therapy, which is a good idea. Another one might be going to a chiropractor (if it is an alignment issue).

Given your aversion to taking opioids I would suggest trying to determine the exact nature of the pain (muscular, alignment, etc.) and attempt a suitable non-medicinal treatment (PT, chiropractor, yoga, etc.)

As someone who occasionally gets mild and (easily treatable) shoulder/neck pain I hope you get better, it's not something that is easy to deal with.

I can no longer buy good hand tools like those made in the USA during the 60s. Since then, neither China nor India (nor any other rising nation except Taiwan) have produced hand tools comparable to those formerly available from the USA.

Remarkably, most of my USA-made hand tools from the 60s still work but nothing lasts forever and accidents do happen. At least I can still get high-quality German, French or Japanese tools.

Business schools taught international economics theory to MBAs, who proselytized and burned down the barn (i.e., the USA's manufacturing capability) by globalizing everything in sight. MBAs in finance engineered a series of disastrous economic collapses, each larger than the previous. While the USA has "enjoyed" center-stage in this circus, I would have preferred that we, as a nation, avoided such a sordid business history.

Were it possible to do again, I would put most of the MBAs (along with all political science students) onto concrete boats and let the Navy use them for target practice. India and China would be much poorer but also would have avoided much upheaval. And I could buy good hand tools which, of course, is all I care about!

I'm leaning more and more in the direction of ditching the term "REST API" and just saying our APIs are Web or HTTP APIs. I'm beginning to think people just say REST API because it looks better on their CV, not because its helpful to other developers who may end up using it.

I would argue competent and effective management by people who view profits worth more than ensuring everyone can enjoy life. These people aren't idiots, they understand game theory, supply and demand and cost cutting to the point they are paid absurd amounts to do the work they do. In my opinion, techs problem is that the builders/maintainers trust leadership not to cut off their heads. Only friends are safe.
> Worse, the gains-from-trade that economists say ought to occur are allocated entirely to the owners of firms and equities, rather than being redistributed to the former workers to help smooth out economic transitions.

I think that this statement ignores the savings that consumers get as a result of this process.The use of international labor has absolutely reduced the prices of goods in the US.

I agree with most of the rest of what you said.
Sure. The most challenging areas to forecast are typically areas with poor data availability (Mountains) or with topological features that impact the weather significantly (Great Lakes affect winter forecasts significantly). I imagine the Rocky Mountains and Great Lakes region both have lower than average forecast accuracy.

Kotlin native sounds great to me! There is a big world outside the bloated JVM!

Just a few days back a projectzero post informed us how Google had told the proxy companies about upcoming TLS 1.3 change months back and that company didn't do anything about it. Google does the same now, ignoring something important known for months ahead.
Yah, you're right. Quoting from the review: "we’ve yet to find a battery / cable that can charge the console faster than it drains." So it's possible and likely that someone will make a capable pack at some point.

> No, there is no quantum theory of gravity

Here's a couple of examples of quantum theories of gravity.

http://www.phys.lsu.edu/faculty/pullin/talks/pire1.pdf

http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/lectures/erice02.pd...

http://einrichtungen.ph.tum.de/T31/seminars-past/seminar-tal...

http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/research/gr/public/qg_ss.html

The extent to which these are complete, consistent, natural (in the fine-tuning sense), and so forth is debatable but these are certainly existing examples of quantum theories of gravity, and indeed the first is a perfectly reasonable Effective Field Theory that people work in regularly.

> QFT doesn’t include gravity at all

I think you mean "The Standard Model of Particle Physics", which is a quantum field theory (as is e.g. perturbative quantum gravity).

> the things you might analyse with the full QFT

Atoms and molecules have gravitational fields; when you send one through a double slit, which way does their gravitational field go?

http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v7/n5/abs/nnano.2012.34....

A quantum theory of gravity is needed to answer that.

Assemble a huge number of particles in superposition with 1/(sqrt 2) (|M @ a> + |M @ b>), with a & b separated. A quantum theory of gravity is needed to describe the gravitational influence of M on a small test object (General Relativity's answer is just wrong :( ).
Toomey for Senate Facebook for business case study
Airflow uses Celery to horizontally scale its execution. The Airflow scheduler takes care of what tasks to run in what order, but also what to do when they fail, need to retry, don't need to run at all, backfill the past etc.

Spark for Airflow is just one of the engines where a transformation of data can happen.
are you using Jackson or gson to do this ? I have heard lots of conflicting advice on this... so am curious on what you are doing
Nice one!

My reaction was more like, we have this already due to plain old economic stagnation and (in the US) offshoring. No AI needed!

Oh please, that's the lamest excuse I've seen to skimp on tooling. Abusing your users with poor tools doesn't win you anything.

Self imposed constraints can (and has in many cases) achieved the same thing.

From a technical perspective unity's tools are nothing special, however they work well for non technical users. In the same way UI/UxD for Linux has been a disaster understanding production needs is a complete different space that few engines get right.

Omni (Schibsted) | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Stockholm, Sweden | Onsite | Full-Time

Omni is an award-winning news app (and website) with the focus on personalization, and quick and complete news coverage (aggregating all other news sources).
You will be part of a small and efficient team (4 full stack devs, 1 UX, and 1 designer in Stockholm; 4 Android and iOS devs in Gdansk) who have just begun expanding the app into new markets. We're small enough that you will have a big impact, but there's still plenty of career opportunities within the rest of Schibsted.
We're looking for a senior engineer that is very experienced with javascript and node.js (or so good at other stuff and willing to learn that it doesn't matter). The rest of our stack consists of Postgresql and Elastic Search, virtual-dom for the web, and Heroku and Kubernetes/AWS for hosting.
However, we're constantly experimenting and innovating and no strangers to trying new technology when we get a good opportunity (personally I can't wait to use Elm in production; we just need more devs who knows it!).

Your landline is now VOIP too, it may be twisted pair to the central office, but then it's digitized and transmitted on the carriers owned networks.
Very interesting that this price point is feasible given the high costs of IPv4 addresses alone - I presume each instances get one public ipv4. Add staff, network (in some quite expensive places such as Tokyo & Singapore), servers, marketing, platform development, and a commitment to quality that puts them beyond all the poorly ran low end OpenVZ hosting companies . Impressive. ( current customer - found this via HN - no $ affiliation - but I am tough customer to please and I'd say they are near enough on par with Linode)

I appreciate they wrote it the way they did. I didn't know what the abbreviation would have meant, and now I do. Also, I now have a clue what "IANA" at the start of an abbreviation I have never seen before might mean.

What I remember from the press conference was 1-2 Switch (motion controls barf), Arms (motion controls barf), Zelda (getting it on Wii U), Splatoon (probably actually good), something about ice cubes (what), Skyrim (isn't this game like 8 years old?), some distant-future titles, and a handful of nebulous 3rd party statements of support.

Maybe I'll pick one up in a year or two if they don't lean to heavily on the motion controls gimmick after all. But I'm not holding my breath.
You are literally the first person I've ever met who knew the rest of that rhyme! It would be on HN of course... chuckle

I agree with your closing point, which is why I'm so disappointed here. I love Nintendo games, but for a long time now I've despised their hardware.
Uber could have remained a premium cab company with a fancy app, but everything start-up is rated on growth numbers, not profit, and definitely not on profit of drivers.

If not for abusing growth, it would have not raised funding and would have likely failed.

They include interviews with blind people who've tried it.

They say that it's smaller, lighter, and cheaper because they use a new type of actuator that isn't "on a ceramic substrate".

I thought the post might shed more light on their use of Erlang for this service, but it focuses more on high level topology, AWS infrastructure, and load balancing. It's interesting to get a sense of the level of high level deployment tooling they used, because in a way Erlang marketing gives the impression that the language and VM are all you need.

I'm an experienced full-stack web developer and designer with experience making the complex comprehensible and tractable, and I don't turn my nose up at building and deploying CRUD apps or using Google Sheets as a backend (sometimes that's all you need for an MVP), so let's talk about what makes your project unique and the shape of the dent you want to make in the universe.

As an autodidact with eclectic interests (a bit of an intellectual magpie, really), I'd like to branch out a bit, and I would be particularly interested in opportunities (including less senior ones) to gain experience with designing, building, tuning, and deploying machine learning systems (I am currently hitting the books to bone up on the necessary fundamentals) and user interfaces that leverage their capabilities.
