I'm about to switch to an iphone (oddly been a cocoa/mac developer while being a android user for years), and have been a bit worried that it'll be a more distracting experience while watching friends more engaged with their phones than conversatin at dinner. This said, here's my tentative iphone-specific plan on managing myself from becoming addicted:

- Generally, don't keep social apps on the phone. Use the web versions with content blockers.

- Email: keep using gmail's importance filtering and set notifications only for 'important' messages - been doing this for years and it's mostly worked fine.

- Content blockers - find a safari content blocker that lets me block social sites at certain times, or write one myself.

- Keep using a smartwatch - I really like using my pebble to let me minimize phone use, ideally I can still do voice replies like I can on android.
I like the idea of storing information by using two stable isotopes of carbon into a diamond. It would last a long time and be extremely compact.

Has anyone looked into that?

I like to blend raw spinach + raw kale + banana + apple + peanut/almond butter.

Delicious.

If you're new to green smoothies I'd suggest:

1 cup raw spinach + 1 green apple + 1 banana + 1 tbsp almond/coconut/peanut butter.

You won't even taste the spinach, I promise.
From now on, I am going to adopt this definition, it just gives me a feeling of control for all practical purposes. Since time travel is not possible, I'll be using compensating transactions to rollback myself to a state, approximately similar to previously recorded measurements.

I can't speak to whether boys or girls are more frequently diagnosed with this. My guess would be boys that are more frequently diagnosed, but I'd like to emphasize the word guess; I've not done any extensive research on that aspect. We (her parents and psychiatrist) have determined that my eldest daughter hits every single symptom on the list.

It's been particularly hard to live with and we've sought out help from every available resource to learn to manage it and live with it. This will likely be an ongoing work in progress until we find a balance where the effort to manage it balances symptoms we can learn to live with, eventually as she grows and looks to leave home and start her own life, she will need to have learned to manage and control it herself. Of course, it's already been 8 years and is at least another 10 years away. It hasn't been and isn't going to be an easy path.

I often tell myself that she's just 8 and growing up with heart problems and surgery that you can't hide from her because of the slew of tests she's had to undergo her whole life to ensure her health has been harder on her psychologically than it has on all of us - and it's been hard for us, I can only begin to imagine what it was like to go through for her. So some allowances have to be made for her psychological state from this. That doesn't make it easier to deal with, it just helps you to keep putting on the mask and continuing to demonstrate a level patience that you ran out of so long ago you can't remember what it was like not to feel this way.
I think the key point there is that SpaceX can offer many new options for launch that seriously expand the kinds of contracts they can accept.

If your payload and destination allow for reuse then the cost of your launch is (cost of the whole rocket) / (number of reuses) + (landing & refurbishing costs)

If you require the full fuel of a Falcon 9 it might make sense to accept higher risk and launch on a rocket that is at it's last launch.

If you also don't want that risk, then maybe a mid-life Falcon Heavy can be cheap enough for you.

If Falcon Heavy is still too expensive even with re-use then maybe a one shot Falcon 9 is right for you.
Thanks for this! I've been using orgmode on my computer but used Google keep instead because lack of Android capabilities.

I still use orgmode for tracking my time by clocking tasks. Unfortunately this Android app doesn't seem to provide this option.
Of course, as a user of Requests in what could be a similar use pattern my question now is: Is this an actual bug in the requests library, or some strange interaction with your app? Was a bug report filed I could follow?

It's not only about whether the parties know each other, it's about how they can verify that they're all behaving according to the rules of their contract.

In multi-party scenarios, you often find intermediaries whose primary function is to act as a centralized, trusted exchange for the other parties, performing the job of the banker in the sentence you quoted. One reason this is needed is that without them, there's a lot of room for collusion between parties that deal with each other directly.

These intermediaries do currently use "more generic software", but you still need a company to run and operate that software. Blockchains can replace such companies, or at least replace one of their main reasons for existing.

In many cases, it would be possible to come up with an application-specific approach to securely and verifiably operating multi-party transactions without intermediaries, but that's not done much because it's generally just easier to use the intermediary model. Also, implementing secure decentralized transaction systems is outside of the the core competencies of the companies that need such capabilities.

Blockchains provide a generic, non-application-specific approach to implementing a secure, shared, distributed ledger, so that applications can focus on generating the transactions and not worry about the issues involved with securing a shared ledger.

There is some trade off when you think of the benefits we get for free, in return, from Google. I barely recall what it was like to buy a map, writing down directions, and praying to God I didn't get thrown off on the way.

> It now looks like a smaller evacuation zone would have been beneficial in the case of Chernobyl, and the same probably goes for Fukushima.

BIG TIME citation needed. See my other post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13829400

Again, I'm going on about Chernobyl, not Fukushima. A lot of people received pretty high doses in the former case, and the results have been pretty terrible.
>Services, on the other hand, almost always are governed by contracts, and the contracts get very extensive.

I try to have extremely light contracts. I'd rather have the payment structure reflect the work and the value over time. If we don't agree, we part ways, this is cheaper than arguing with lawyers.

Also: trust & repeat clients. Little need for contracts anymore. Then yes, I can get screwed, but that's the cost of doing business, and they can only screw me once, protecting my downside. Still cheaper than lawyers.

> - some struggle with technical issues (like not having a deep enough understanding of a technology or an architecture)

this one for sure not, it is more common that I have a deeper understanding of a technology or architecture than most of the colleagues with a CS degree, because as a self taught dev I started like 10 years before most of people that go through college.

> - others struggle with the lack of theoretical background (when optimizing for performance, or deciding which algorithm to go for, etc)

But this is a real challenge. Although I also try to self-teach me CS theory, it is hard to know what I don't know and might be missing in my theoretical base.
The title is misleading. It's not entirely clear from the article what kinds of images were not removed, but the article does make clear some of the ones reported were not child abuse images.

It sounds like some of them were regular images of children, but with suggestive comments attached. Now, that's still against facebook's TOS, but not illegal.

Edit: title has been changed to reflect source title better.
I wonder if Facebook will report themselves to the police as well, since they're the only ones in this situation who are distributing these images.
You are correct. I had only read a bit of the article before coming to the comments.

I should have been more diligent and usually am.

I was projecting other feelings from previous arguments and this isn't the place for it and I deserve those down votes as it clearly wasn't a super helpful addition to the discussion.

Sorry and thanks.
Not easier, just more meaningful to more people.
Exactly, the cited passage goes on:

The magnitude and scope of the disaster, the size of the affected population, and the long-term consequences make it, by far, the worst industrial disaster on record. Chernobyl unleashed a complex web of events and long-term difficulties, such as massive relocation, loss of economic stability, and long-term threatds to health in current and, possibly, future generations, that resulted in an increased sense of anomie and diminished sense of physical and emotional balance.
Is there even any evidence that eating less this way leads to smaller nutrient absorption by the body? This article does not seem to have any.
That honestly surprises me. I cannot say the same for people in Australia, a similar culture to the US. I think you might be surprised how many people outside of your friendship circle are actually living paycheck to paycheck.

It is a smart thing to try and have though.
I have never used wt so I may be wrong in the following considerations after reading a few of their features and examples.

By giving a quick read, I see that they also have asynchronous IO capability, and this makes it somewhat similar.
Not sure about their build times, but knowing Boost I would not expect to be in the 5 seconds range.
From what I understand they are tied to be used inside a browser, while we can generate regular desktop UI that also work in browser.
I think that UI latency of our method is better than their system, but our approach requires far more computational resources and bandwidth.
Their method probably scales better with many users connected.

That's just an argument for time not being fundamental.

Special relativity gives us a perfectly workable view of time as a symmetry relation on this eternal now you speak of.

Thermodynamics, specifically the second law and especially in its kinetic theory, give us a nice view of time as a global statistics phenomenon of ensembles.

Even more, there are solutions to Einstein's equations, that seem to allow time travel.

All that said, you might be interested in the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation which takes a stab at quantum gravity and makes no mention of time. That said, it's also a far cry from the 20th century physics eternal now you seem to be envisioning.

> I realize there are a lot of nuclear apologist around here, but this is getting ridiculous.

I'm pro nuclear power, but I agree with you. Boars running around doesn't mean jack squat.

We need to look objectively about all of the many aspects of nuclear power production, including its dangers and financial costs.

Honestly, the way solar generation and battery technology is taking off, even the most optimistic nuclear technology might become irrelevant.

Recursion is nothing more than implicitly using a stack (via the call stack) or explicitly with a loop.

You just won't get a stack overflow exception with the loop -- you'll run out of heap instead. It's still the stack filling up.

Some years ago I spent a lot of time calorie counting. I got pretty good at estimating but more importantly became keenly aware of where the calories are hidden. You start to develop simple rules of thumb: beware of the breads and sugars, fruits are full of vitamins but can pack a calorie punch (bananas and grapes on the higher side, strawberries and melons being in the low side), most raw vegetables, negligible. Lean meats, surprisingly low relative to their help in making you feel well fed. Be cautious with cheese; sauces and dressings can be killer.

You don't have to be perfect (or honestly even that precise) but it's immensely helpful to do the exercise for a few weeks to dial your brain in. When you calorie reduce at the same time, you grow razor-sharp appreciation for foods that you can eat a massive amount of that provide few calories. When you're hungry, a choice between a muffin and a tray overloaded with vegetables and turkey slices becomes a lot more clear.

I've often wondered if an app that has me take a picture of everything I eat in a day and then sends me a collage of all yesterday's consumption by email in the next morning would be a suitable replacement for calorie counting. I wonder if the process of taking my phone out to photograph things before I eat them would cause me to more carefully consider my choices, and the private shaming the morning after on days I don't do well would serve as a behavior modifier for the day.
I've never seen addressed how one factors in long-term societal problems into the use of nuclear energy. There's not a country in world that hasn't experienced a civil war, invasion, or other massively destabilizing event within the span of time needed to safely manage nuclear energy and its byproducts.

After Chernobyl, I always wondered how a less authoritarian regime would respond to a similar nuclear disaster. Now that we have Fukushima, we can see the Japanese government doing something like a combination of climate change denial and media manipulation (Japanese television frequently runs pieces conflating opposition to nuclear energy with a lack of empathy for those who suffered in 3/11). It would probably work the same in the states.

Ask HN: A site for bullshitfree design articles
I'm thinking of creating a site that links to bullshitfree design articles.

WHAT THE SITE WOULD LINK TO

- Articles that are sincere, meaningful, informative and useful.

WHAT IT WOULDN'T LINK TO

- Articles written for content marketing: This probably will automatically leave out most if not all content from sites like invision, webflow, marvel, medium and the ilk.

- Articles written to fulfill the monthly quota of product companies or design agencies.

- Me too articles, the ones with regurgitated content.

- Pointless listicles

- Articles about trends

- Articles that beats a dead horse

- Articles that are controversial for the sake of it

- Sponsored content

- Ads

FEATURES

- Readers would be able to submit links

- I wouldn't be under any pressure to post a set number of links daily or weekly. I'd post only when I see a quality article.

- I would never try to monetize it; So you'd never see sponsored content or ads.

CHALLENGES

- The selection process depends on a single human curator; so the criteria depends on what he (i.e. I) considers bulshitfree or not. So, it's inherently subjective.

- Separating the wheat from the chaff is too taxing and time consuming for a single person.

However I think the challenges are less problematic when compared to that of voting. I'd like to hear HN community's thoughts, suggestions and advice.

This is a great visualization of how time could be the 10th dimension. It starts with one dimension, and works it way up.

By studying how one dimension can be expanded into two, then three dimensions, it extrapolates and visualizes even higher dimensions.

I think working with computers breeds a sort of contempt for them and you start looking for alternatives.

One of my hobbies is photography, and lately all I've wanted to do is shoot film. My big DSLRs can do some amazing things, but there's something about being limited to between 12 and 36 images, advancing the film by hand, controlling every aspect of the exposure, and standing at my kitchen sink for half an hour developing each roll that makes rattling off a thousand images in a blink then sitting in front of yet another screen a lot less appealing. I'm already sitting at a computer for 40 or more hours per week, why add another if I don't have to?
There was a report on Chernobyl the other day. Apparently, the nature there is experiencing a renaissance of sorts with a measurable growth both in biodiversity as well as in the sheer number of species, including endangered ones.

I imagine you will find that lots of existing tools use python and the scientific stack (scipy, numpy, deep learning, scikit-learn etc) but more javascript tooling that will help with visualization, or controlling these backend technologies would be great.

Even if you decide to run the simulations themselves in javascript you'll learn valuable engineering skills and some tradeoffs that have to be made. As an employer I would love to see a student who took it upon themselves to build a tool once they'd learnt a language

The nuclear apologists don't seem to realize they would have a more effective argument if they just admitted what is obvious to anyone: that occasionally nuclear power causes terrible catastrophes. Perhaps someday in the bright shiny future it won't, but it certainly has for the last 65 years we've been using it. Then they could stack those terrible catastrophes up against what they see as the wonderful benefits of nuclear power, and reasonable people would have some choices to make. Instead, they run around with fingers in ears chanting "nyah nyah nyah no problems here", and reasonable people can only conclude that the analysis is missing some important points.
