Tara's death is the only time I've literally screamed out loud watching a television show. It was devastating. And absolutely brilliant TV - completely made Willow's following behavior completely understandable.

Season 5, where Dawn appeared (confusing me to no end - I was like, hold on, it's impossible that i've missed an episode, but this is making no sense at all...) shook things up and was great.

Per the sibling comments, here are some good examples of rent seeking.

From Wikipedia, a feudal lord puts a chain over a river and charges a toll to lower the chain. No value add, just money in the pocket of the lord.

And the contemporary version: an investment firm buys out the intellectual property of a medical delivery device. They charge additional royalties to the manufacturers of the device. No value added.
Why? It's an enterprise software development tool without the ability to run it locally within the enterprise. Companies don't want to put corporate IP on remote servers as much as possible without very tight data protection guarantees. Trello didn't offer either one so many companies that could have benefited from Trello (and knew it) couldn't use it.
There are substantial ethical issues with vaccination as a general thing; there are specific cases where the facts have supporter a fairly broad (though not universal) consensus on the general best approach, but that doesn't change the fact that there are ethical issues in the area of vaccination.

So now they will be "allowed" to work the hours that they already do. I have multiple resident physician friends and family members who routinely work 24+ hour shifts once a week, on top of 14-16 hour shifts daily yet if their time sheet says more than 80 hours/week, they are instructed to correct it.
Since your effort seems heartfelt, we'll turn off the flags.
This was the premise of the 1978 UK cult classic, _Monkey_, which was a low budget Chinese comic adaptation of _Journey to the West_, dubbed --- poorly --- into English with ludicrous cod-Chinese accents. The Stone Monkey, a pig man, a swamp thing, and a dragon pretending to be a horse accompany a saintly monk on a never-ending journey to India, encountering demons of the mind and then beating the crap out of them.

And it is brilliant (for certain specialist definitions of the word 'brilliant').

Wow, 24 hours is insane. I work 10 hour, overnight, shifts at an elderly care facility and sometimes I have to pull a double or 1.5 shift due to call-ins. I'm exhausted and I can barely drive home. My work doesn't compare to that of an M.D.
In my experience desktop PDF readers are better than paper for technical books - maybe there are good tablet readers for them too, but they'll allow you to jump directly to sections and make bookmarks in an instant rather than searching through random physical pages and holding your finger in different spots. Displaying the full tree of the book's index while you read through interesting sections is incredibly valuable.

I find it hard to read any technical book on something other than the computer I'm using it on though. Without being able to copy and paste to try things out on my own I tend to learn absolutely nothing.

I agreed, would at least consider it a bug if not a security issue.
I recognize my naïveté, but surely a more humane method of dealing with this is trying to increase information exchange at handover rather than depriving humans of valuable sleep.
There are studies that show partial sleep deprivation can affect cognitive performance, and specific studies that show sleep deprivation on doctors can affect their own performance.
1) Why do you believe that the hypothetical Singaporean isn't going to apply to Google? Google has no shortage of applicants. And if the applicant believes that Kaggle could help them, whey not simply put the score on the application / resume?

2) If Google is trying to recruit people from Kaggle accounts, why not simply index the accounts?

Neither approach requires purchasing Kaggle at all.
That would cost 25% more to the hospital, no way.
What other NGINX directive paths besides "client_body_temp_path" actually change the owner on-startup?

Seems like NGINX logic should be, if the path exists, it must have correct permissions already. If not, just fail to start.
As a human, the concept of anyone working 20-24 hours straight...really, anything over 10 hours straight, infuriates me. I'd rather solve problems associated with shift change over than force someone to work like that. Further, life is short. Forcing someone to be so confined for such a period of time is...wrong.
Because no one else has mentioned it, paging is more expensive in 64-bit. In 64-bit, the kernel uses a 3 or 4 level page table requiring 3 or 4 SDRAM accesses on a TLB miss. 32-bit kernels can get away with 2 SDRAM accesses (PDE+PTE) if they're doing 32-to-32 translation. On a ~3GHz CPU, each uncached SDRAM access will cost the CPU about 200 cycles which means a worst-case 32-bit scenario would be about 400 cycles but 64-bit could reach +800 cycles.

This only applies to running a 64-bit kernel vs a 32-bit kernel; running a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel will incur the same page table cost as a 64-bit process.
Publishers opt-in to AMP. They actually implement their AMP pages. And I'm honestly not sure why you hate pages that load quickly so much.

So some VCs didn't get the crazy high returns they thought they would. So what? Calling Trello a failed outcome is still crazy.

There are far, far more metrics, and I'd say far more important metrics to decide whether a company is a success than the amount of VC returns.
Works fine in my Firefox, although the site warns that I'm using a 32-bit Firefox on a 64-bit system, which is definitely not the case.
YC’s Markhor to build shoe/accessories making facility, hire craftsmen full time
There are already large chunks of managed code in VS. It might be that they are pushing to fully convert to managed code for other reasons, and as a side benefit they get 64-bit support for "free".
My father is a urologist trained at McGill in its heyday back in the 60's, and they often worked much longer shifts than 24 hours. It was part of the training to be working while sleep deprived. In real life, a doctor often has to take calls in the middle of the night, and it was important for the medical school to either train students to be able to work under such conditions or be failed out if they couldn't hack it.

Mind you, they also had other traditions like working with cadavers with their bare hands only, out of respect for the people who had donated their own bodies.

Back then, it was expected that 2/3rds of students would end up failing out. Not just from long shifts, but the program was designed to be that challenging so as to weed out many people, to ensure that only the best would succeed. Nowadays, medical schools perceive the dollars spent training a medical student as too great of an investment, and want all their students graduate so failures are uncommon. Now once accepted, a student has pretty much made it even though the acceptance criteria is quite distanced from how they actually perform as a medical doctor. This potentially results in less qualified individuals becoming licensed.
If you are someone who behind the veil of ignorance can pass phone screens, then you will wash out 75% of the time through normal interviews. Your typical time cost is 4x offsite process + 4x onsite process to generate one interview. If you use triplebyte, assuming their interview is equivalent to a full interview cycle, your time cost is 1x offsite process + 3x onsite process - one for them, and two onsites with companies since your success rate is doubled. If you want to get more than one offer, the time savings increase further (and faster).
This is a very interesting attack vector. There are many situations where less privileged users can inject stuff into an nginx config.
Or they can increase the number of people going through medical schools. The AAMC understands the law(s) of supply and demand and doesn't want too many new medical doctors, then they would get paid less.

For reference, the number of students graduating from medical school is dropping:

Perhaps some work should be put into the hand-off procedure. I've heard things like checklists suggested in the past. Perhaps having a checklist to go through when handing off the patient with, say, congestive heart failure to another physician. They could be developed for the most common conditions that residents and their attendings deal with.
Hopefully automation can help free up time for doctors.
And don't you absolutely love it when you realize that your password is failing because of a quotation character.

Surely no one is a fan of unit tests. I'm not even though I am responsible for a few hundred in the program that I work on. They are valuable for several reasons, including: writing them often exposes an unconscionable degree of coupling between the various components of the code and they often trap incautious changes when someone fixes a supposedly unrelated bug. I would need fewer of them if I could use a functional language language with a good type system like F# instead of VB and C#.
The first thing we care about is the patients. Most studies that have looked at longer hours vs more handoffs have shown equipoise in terms of death and serious adverse events. So, in that setting, most of us feel comfortable to think about what we want for ourselves as trainees and educators.

From the perspective of a trainee, on the rotations where duty hours even become a question, I was working 60-80 hour weeks. You can achieve that in a number of ways. One way is to work 5-6 days per week of 12-14 hour shifts. This sounds reasonable until you realize, a few months in, that you are at work from 7a-7-9p (assuming you're working daytime shifts) 6 days a week. It's monotonous and exhausting.

You can achieve the same by mixing some 24h days into the mix. During my training, this could only happen starting in our second year and beyond. Suddenly, I had several days with ample free time to buy groceries, do laundry, think about the world around me.

Medical training is extremely long and time intensive. Partitioning time into 24 hour chunks can surprisingly be preferable when 80 hour weeks are the rule (when safe for patients).
Nostalgia is not my reason. Anything that requires a battery, DRM, a subscription, active bank account, various service accounts, and has a touchscreen that will do FSM-knows-what if you touch it the wrong way, is not convenient to me. There's always that looming feeling that the "book" will just stop working.
My mind immediately went, "Indian cuisine is waaay too varied for generalizations like that to work..." before I realised that my corresponding mental models of, say, Chinese or Italian food probably suffer from the same problem. :)

Yogurt is usually churned into buttermilk: lassi, as it's called, is excellent, especially if you make the yogurt (dahi, or variations on that: in Bengali it's doi) at home: you take some milk, put a small amount of the yogurt you made the day before in it to "bootstrap" the culture, and off you go. But lassi going with every meal is, to my knowledge, a characteristically north Indian/Pakistani thing.

Mangoes (assuming you mean ripe ones, not green) are a summer thing, and you do find roadside stalls doing "mango lassi" as part of their lists (which are impressive for their length, in addition to being $deity-sends when preceded by a suitably exhausting experience on public transport). I have the feeling, though, that it's probably something one is more likely to find outside of India.

At the risk of being too simplistic, I'd say that Nazi Germany tried doing this, to little avail.
I like the thoughtfulness of your comment. They are good advantages. And ...

My kids prefer (important word, prefer) paper copies of books over a kindle/iPad and I see a similar trend with their friends. The book has an interesting texture, you can fiddle with it. It's easy to skim ahead and back and flip between two sections of the book to compare.

The kids I've observed find books like a comfy pair of shoes. I am guessing, but I think it's about control; ease of access in a non-linear fashion. You can feel in control of a paper book. Front cover, back cover, starts of chapters. They're hard to access with a kindle but easy with paper.

Keep in mind this is a long term project. If you're looking for something to do with your hands, a physical object in the real world, that would keep you busy for months (assuming you're not working on it full time) - you've found it.

Keep at it and you'll make a very high quality instrument. My first parabolic mirror came out at lambda/25 precision (and no ripples, no turned edge), whereas many commercial mirrors are only lambda/4 or 6 and the edge is sometimes questionable.

As for the instrument itself (everything except the optics), it's not much harder than making a simple cabinet, and in some ways it's easier. Go slow, read a lot, think ahead, and you'll succeed.
As an outsider, their explanation of keels seems awful:

A keel works only if the motion of the boat is not exactly in the direction in which it’s pointed. The boat must be moving somewhat sideways. In that “crabbing” motion, the keel moves through the water with an angle of attack. Just as for the sails in the wind, that causes the water on the “high” (more downstream) side of the keel to move faster and create a lower pressure. Again, the net lift force on the keel is due to the combination of that decreased pressure on the high side and increased pressure on the other (low) side.

The first sentence is a bit silly, since if the boat is moving in the direction of the keel (rather than the direction of the wind), one could also say that the keel is working quite well.

But the real problem is the explanation of lift based on pressure differences caused by the speed of the water on each side. It's not exactly false, but isn't this the same classically unhelpful explanation that implies a symmetric wing (such as an angled barn door) produces no lift?

Isn't it clearer to think about the angled keel pushing the water out of the way as it moves through the water? https://www.av8n.com/how/htm/airfoils.html. Or is there some difference about water and air that makes the Physics Today explanation more useful for keels on boats than for wings on planes? But then way do they say "just as for sails in the wind"?
Personally, I like to believe that NP hard problems can be solved efficiently in our universe. If time travel is possible, PSPACE can be solved efficiently. That is a pretty good argument for me that time travel is not possible.

Hi HN, co-founder of Markhor here.

We work with some of the most skilled craftsmen in Pakistan to make handcrafted shoes and leather accessories.

(Original launch story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10057973)

In past, we were mainly working with craftsmen on contract basis. Now changing that by starting our own manufacturing facility, this would allow us to hire craftsmen full-time, improve quality of our existing products and launch new products faster.

We ran few small experiment and then hired three craftsmen full-time, first products to come out of this are our accessories for Apple. So far very happy with the decision, craftsmen get paid more as well as other benefits of full-time employee. we can invest more in their training and social benefits. Overall, we are very excited because this contributes to our mission of making the whole supply chain transparent.

Wondering, what are some good brands that run their own manufacturing facility (I know Harrys does in Germany)?

Happy to answer any question about our product/approach.

> Right, even if there are many, would you be able to justify keeping sickle cell?

Would you be able to justify eliminating genetic malaria resistance? It's the same allele, of course, heterozygotes get the benefit, homozygotes get the disease.

OTOH, if you can do in vivo editing with appropriate testing, maybe you only edit embryos that would otherwise have the disease, which may marginally reduce the distribution of the allele (in a first order analysis; but if it makes know carriers less unattractive as mates, it might actually increase the distribution), but doesn't eliminate it.

There are lots of issues like this, and overzealous editing could eliminate beneficial traits whose genetic origins we don't understand as side effects of targeting undesirable traits.
As has been mentioned throughout this thread, in the studies so far conducted (e.g. FIRST), longer shifts are non-inferior for patient safety compared to shorter shifts with more handoffs. There is no such thing as a free lunch, nor is something that is facially obvious safe to treat as true in medicine unless you test it. The changes that were made due to assumptions (not measurements) about safety were found not to be supported when the evidence became available.
>That's only a failure on the VC overall fund level, not the company or investor level. That investment is not a failure, even if the fund is.

I put that last "failure" in scare quotes to soften the label a bit because in many ways, Trello is a success.

Nevertheless, the VC will frame it as a "failure" or "suboptimal outcome" because they use the framework of "opportunity cost" which means they missed the other startups they could have invested that 10 million in.

If the VC knows ahead of time that investing $10m startup in will return just 1000% in 2 years, they'd rather ignore Trello and find "another Facebook" that can return 20000%+[1]

[1] https://techcrunch.com/2010/11/22/accel-partners-fund-ix-fac...
> said the change will enhance patient safety because there will be fewer handoffs from doctor to doctor. It also said the longer shifts will improve the new doctors’ training by allowing them to follow their patients for more extended periods, especially in the critical hours after admission.

We really need the name of the human being who said that. That quote needs to be attributed to an individual who has to take some sort of responsibility for it.
I'm not sure it's all that easy, since a) you can't know exactly how good someone is going to turn out to be (you can probably get close through), and b) you can't tell what Intel will be hiring for later, and c) to increase your odds you probably want more than a few people in this program to achieve at least a few people being hired in positions that are useful.

That said, the main hurdles seem to be managing people and funds, which government agencies seem pretty good at figuring out. So maybe not all that easy, but maybe not particularly hard either. The biggest problem might be keeping it secret, given the number of people that might need to be involved that are clandestinely working for a TLA but not as their main job and not steeped in the culture of secrecy.
I delivered a talk about the Next Big Leap (speaking about Ruby on Rails) at this conference when it was RuPy 2011 in Poland. The organizers are top-notch and attract a diverse crowd. Highly recommended!
"Why Trello Failed to Build a $1B+ Business" != "Why Trello Failed"
I've become vastly more productive, productive in the sense that I actually finish things by scoping way way down.

I used to dream up grand plans, start building, and before I got to the end I'd have thought up three more things I wanted to build. That isn't any way to finish anything, it's a good way to learn about limitations and develop new skills.

By scope way down, have a few ideas and consider what they share between them. What single feature will I need. I build that. But, that feature in and of itself has a lot of parts so I pick one and I build that. If it has smaller parts, I build one of those.

Instead of building some grand machine, I build gears. It's far more satisfying.

>I wouldn't want to annotate or highlight a paper book - that feels like damaging it.

Don't do it with library books obviously, but if you own the book, try it. It vastly improved my reading experience when I started annotating.
Having jumped out of many airplanes, I've thought about this and how to survive on occasion. But temperatures at 35k are often like -50 degrees. At 500mph decelerating down to 100mph, it seems like there's a good chance you could become a human snowflake long before you hit the ground. :P
It actually says this in the article. They say that gathering a count would actually cause a requirement to un-anonymize some of the data and therefore create a privacy (and possibly constitutional) problem.

Maybe they're right. Maybe we should just discontinue the program since I don't think it's been shown to be effective at anything.
Who is this serving? Because it certainly isn't serving patient health.

So, in that case, stop calling it "health care".
You make it sound like just a tech-press delusion. VCs invest in businesses because they want them to grow big; they don't invest in lifestyle businesses. This is a systemic thing, don't portray it as a fever dream of some far-gone tech writer.
Is there any good research into improving the handoff process?

It seems it would be beneficial regardless of how well rested the doctors were.
