So combine that with the next sentence:

By burning heavy fuel oil, just 15 of the biggest ships emit more oxides of nitrogen and sulphur—gases much worse for global warming than carbon dioxide—than all the world’s cars put together.

So all of the world's cars produce less than 3% of greenhouse gas emissions?

Sounds like we should work at optimizing other parts of the system.

(Eg. When you're trying to improve speed/throughput of a system, you focus on the bigger chunks first, not where < 3% of the work is done.)
Say what you will but this shows how much dedication random people on the internet can bring up if they want to do something... even if it's as destructive as this... Amazing and terrifying.
We changed the title from "Just 15 of the biggest ships emit more oxides than all of the world's cars". I'm not sure how it ended up there—maybe the Economist originally had it?—but if the submitter wrote it, that's bad and violates the HN guideline about titles.
Nope. The difference is you don't need to time the market when investing over long periods of time. Timing the market requires luck. Investing for 10+ years doesn't.

The same can be said for PTSD. Whether or not chronic stress leads to hypocortisolism and burnout/CFS seems to be whether or not dealing with the stress is in the best interests of the organism (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15950390), along with other factors such as time since onset, nature of the stress, personality factors, etc.

Stress-related disorders are quite common among the military and refugees (higher level of prevalence than the general population).
I'm with you. Also, I don't see that Google is going to make a difference with packaging, they have very particular use cases.

A Multiscale Method for Convolution Neural Networks
I would argue that you are missing the point, although probably only by not being sufficiently cynical. Articles about how a handful of large ships pollute more than all the cars on the planet have been going around for years. They're almost always written to be highly misleading, to trick the reader into thinking that ships are far more important polluters than cars and that all the effort by environmentalists to clean up cars is either wasted or a scam.

Note that the title (both on HN and on economist.com) has changed to something much more reasonable. It used to say something like: just 15 ships emit more pollution than all the cars in the world combined.
OpenSuSE (and SLES) has considered btrfs stable for a while.
Exactly. Pissing off an angel investor because some equity goes to the founder instead of the angel is bad for a VC, because that VC needs that angel to help funnel them deals in the future. But it's good for the founder, because the founder keeps more equity.

This is a very disingenuous argument by Fred Wilson, which is a shame because his analysis is usually so intelligent. But when it comes to convincing founders to give VCs more equity, he's driven by his own incentives just like any VC.

Mine started when I was 28, at the inside my left eyebrow, then my left eyelid. Then also my scrotum and then my scalp. STD tests negative. Dermatologist said "seborrheic dermatitis" and gave me a shampoo. Spreading to my elbows and knees it finally presented, and was diagnosed, like classic psoriasis.

Lulls and flares. Topical medicine was like a treadmill, barely containing what I had and not preventing any new areas. Then mild fatigue began with the flares. Hard to get up some days. Reminded me of the major depression I had conquered in a previous life. Blood tests were fine.

Then knee pain. "Just arthritis - you're 31 but getting older." Get some orthotics, do some PT. Tailbone pain. Fingers too stiff to get dressed. How much Naproxin can I take safely? Orthopedists just thinking of ways to treat pain - killing nerves or opioids. The cyclic nature makes it so that just as it's getting unbearable, or when I can finally see a new doctor, everything is pretty much fine.

A new dermatologist finally suggests I see a rheumatologist that it could be PA. Looked for the best in my region, did a lot of tests and at least I finally had a name for this. Psoriatic Arthritis. Took Otezla which helped my joint pain, gave me a lot of migraines, and seemed to be a multiplier for the topical medication, but after 9 months it was not keeping up with the flares.

Now I'm taking Humera injections instead for the last 3 months. My skin is almost clear and I haven't had any flare ups. The potential side effects are scary. Hoping to become more informed and find some alternatives to move to. For the first time in 8 years I feel almost normal, but my hunt is not over. Right now I've made a deal with the devil for some normalcy - I believe a lifetime of this medicine could kill me. It would also cost $33,000 a year without my great job and insurance.

The article's point that an umbrella autoimmune specialist is needed is so true. For me the closest I came was my rheumatologist - she knew more about psoriasis than any of the dermatologists I've been to.

Good luck on your journey.

Generative Poisoning Attack Method Against Neural Networks
Do note that the constellation of symptoms associated with "chronic long-term anxiety" isn't exactly the same as the one for auto-immune disease; it's rather much closer to that of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushing%27s_syndrome. CFS and Cushings are indeed probably related, though.
Hey, I'm going through your Pastebin (http://pastebin.com/u/SexyCyborg) and it's really interesting, informative, and eye-opening. Keep it up, that's some voice!
Yeah, I've never heard a founder regret using a SAFE because of the confusion.

Mysteriously, the only people who oppose SAFE notes are investors who would like you to instead enter a complex negotiation with them!
I'm far from an expert, but I believe the big worry with layering systems like this is you double the amount of key management and implementation attack surface (which is often the weakest part of a cryptosystem), and traditionally it's not for much benefit.

Ignoring quantum computing, doubling up algorithms doesn't really protect you against unknown unknowns all that much as there is a good chance that a massive flaw in one of them could apply to the others (since they are all somewhat based on the same "problem").

When you start layering lattice based crypto with traditional crypto the payoff might change and make it more viable.

Hm. You could make two backups and checksum each file and safe the checksum. Then you could compare regularly file contents with the initial checksum, if there is a mismatch copy from the other backup.

See, this is why I don't write about this. It's just interesting enough to get people hooked, but in order to really explain it just takes So Many Words. I really can't clutter up this thread with mountains of text. It's just not that interesting.

I'll tell you what. I've been thinking of doing a context-logic wiki, but just haven't found the right time to get started on it. I think a good entry point would be an email thread. Why don't you shoot me an email and I'll try to give you what you want. You can find my email in my profile.

That goes for anyone else following that wants more of this.
this is all about confusion and fud, not grumpy of course, the way it's presented in this thread, sucks to be a n00b in 2017.
> The first convertible or SAFE note issued in a company should have a cap on the total amount of notes than can be issued. A number like $1mm or max $2mm sounds right to me.

By "cap" in this context, I believe he's referring to the aggregate amount of convertible notes.
I'm not a database expert, but this seems like something I should worry about, at least a bit. Is this a problem if you store all your persistent data in a database like MySQL?

Well, at least in Poland (and I'm not sure about the rest of Europe) having graduated from an engineering school (a polytechnic) serves as formal licensing, even for classic engineering disciplines, like e.g. civil engineering. So in order to be able to take responsibilities and perform work of a civil engineer, you are required to have graduated from a civil engineering faculty, but have no additional certification after you do. Software development is also thought in polytechnics (among other options) and you formally become an engineer after graduation (though it has no real life consequences) - I'm formally a software engineer myself for example.

That's a draft of the script though, not the final film.
> It's strange to see everyone hold up this movie as an argument against this sort of testing.

Interesting viewpoint! It seems to me that the genetic testing was nothing more than a convenient proxy for measuring actual performance. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and by actually performing, Vincent proved that the proxy was (in many ways) flawed.

> either the writers couldn't be bothered to think things through, or they believe that personal ambition is worth any price

The whole story is about emotion vs. reason, about whether or not the human spirit can be neatly quantified, categorized and filed away, and about the complex trade-offs involved. I think it's more likely that the writers were aware of this aspect of the plot, and gave us that much more food for thought...
This assumes anti-prostitution is about sex workers and not moral outrage at sex being easily available outside marriage.
I don't know how to reconcile this.

On the one hand, I believe information and speech should be mostly unfiltered. If people want to spread information that denies the moon landing or climate change, or extols the existence of teapots revolving about the sun, by all means. I'd rather know who they are and allow them to publicly exercise their ignorance. I assume the public would help cause a correction of the zeitgeist.

On the other hand, the fact is that some people become deeply misinformed and do things against their own interests (e.g. voting for a candidate who promises to undo systems that benefit the voter), which can effect all of us. To spare us from going into the rabbit hole of a party politics, I'll just say I read a recent interview with a voter who wants to get rid of x, even though x in particular crucially provides them a life-saving benefit of y, which they want to keep. How does that even make sense? You delve deeper, and realize that some individuals just listen to the mantra of x being advertised as a terrible thing by certain media and public figures, which is easier to understand than to go into the details as to how specifically it's good and how it specifically could be improved upon.

I'd also add technology, like the internet and smartphones, is affecting our behavior far faster than we're aware and in some ways, I think we need to acknowledge our vulnerability. When media companies or groups of websites can cheaply spread misinformation, it is VERY HARD to combat it, because good information takes time to produce and interpret.
They are already attending. Audi brought out a vehicle last year, etc.
All those benefits have to be paid for. (And the US does have quite a lot of people on long term disability benefits.)

Restrictions on firing just make companies less likely to hire.

People can negotiate reasonable notice periods, and parental leave, severance pay etc, if they rather want that than more money every month. (But that negotiation / demand only works if the economy is humming along fine. So that is way more important.)

Germany and the US could both become more like Singapore. That would be a step forward.

I find it a very weird streak in Germany that they have a lot of mandatory `insurance' that mixes up some actual insurance aspects with welfare and redistribution. I think it would be cleaner to separate these two aspects.

(And Germans do have quite a high appetite for redistribution via their taxation and benefit systems, and vote accordingly. Nothing wrong with that preference in a democracy.)

I am more sympathetic to the nordic countries that marry their social safety nets with reasonable free economies.

And I'd really like to see a country try and rely on Land Value Taxes instead of taxing labour and capital. An LVT can raise an enormous amount of revenue without any deadweight losses to the economy. So you could run a lavish welfare state, and have a dynamic economy without a large wedge between gross and net pay for workers.

Henry George in America was a major proponent of these. In Germany Silvio Gesell wrote some interesting books a hundred years ago.
I think the treadmill scene very very strongly suggests he has a heart condition, given that he partially collapses in the locker room and we can hear him having a palpitation.

I'm pretty sure that in the movie they say that the genetic tests point to a high probability of a heart condition.

It's left ambiguous as to whether he actually has a deadly heart condition.

There's the scene with the treadmill, but that can just be to show that he is normal.
If your database does ZFS-like checksumming on all of its data, including the structures that it uses to find the data that you put in, and has the ability to correct errors, then no.

Realistically though, I don't know if MySQL has this. You'd probably be better off using a filesystem that gives these kind of guarantees and running your database on that.
Ok, we are taxed for the roads and there are some roads that do require you to pay such as toll lanes. Think of Google and facebook as the restaurants and gas stations along the way.

I really don't agree, as a developer writing predominantly js. It's still pretty standard to compile es6 down to at least es2015 using babel or typescript, meaning js still runs everywhere. I've also literally never met anyone who thinks that callback-structured code is "not a problem". And you can work around issues of "this" and lexical scoping to the point where it isn't as irritating, but it's completely unintuitive to a new js developer, and IMO at least never stops feeling "wrong". There are also a ton of features aside from arrow functions and promises that completely change the way code is written for the better- off the top of my head I use ` string formatting, classes, let/const declarations, and module loading every day.
What about using the process, resources, and scheduling expertise that you aquire from building products for others on your own project? Having the know how to complete projects is why people hire you're firm, so hiring yourself could be a great way to build a product on the development / design side in a cost effective manner.
To round out your point: some failures are the result of perfectly valid cost/risk trade-offs.
The Rise of Flash Native Cache
It'll happen, especially now that WebAssembly is getting rolled out, but not sure what is going to replace it. Things like C++ or Rust are still too cumbersome for a lot of front end development. Not sure what the replacement for JS will be, but something new is going to eventually take over.

Well, what if they did?

I think that I have been incorrectly assuming that this subthread was about whether, in 2017, we could tell which of two things had happened -- either "there was a time when there were only 40 pairs of humans on all the earth", or "everyone today is descended from a 40-pair group that may have coexisted with others but for some reason those others died out."

If in fact we're instead talking about whether we can make any distinctions whatever between the two situations, even though we know now that whichever actually occurred, humanity didn't go extinct, then I retract my objections.
Making Http requests in Angular
Quick answer: no.

Unless there's a unified effort between major browsers to bring support for a new language we'll have to use js. And that seems highly unlikely (see dart for instance). However, you now have languages that compile to js, that start to satisfy most developer needs, as well as the sketchy evolution of js.
Stanford's TETRIS Clears Blocks for 3D Memory Based Deep Learning
A major difference (that the review process could influence) is that iOS apps seem to be pushed toward using native controls whenever possible (or abstraction libraries atop those controls), where Android tends to have a lot of custom controls. The native OS controls have very good accessibility, so the average iOS app (which leans heavily on native controls) should be more accessible than the average Android app (which doesn't.)
Did you read their comment? He assumed you did the opposite of buying low: "Let's assume you bought SPY (very conservative ETF index) right before the crash at its high of 156.33 (Oct. 12th 2007)" Note the "at its high". Even if you miraculously had horrible luck and bought into an index at literally the worst possible time, you would have still made money.

This holds for practically any index out there. I personally hold VFINX. These are the returns for VFINX if you bought at the yearly highs and the yearly lows, per year:

2006 | 1.95x | 1.70x

2007 | 1.53x | 1.72x

2008 | 2.82x | 1.67x

2009 | 3.50x | 2.16x

2010 | 2.34x | 1.90x

2011 | 2.12x | 1.79x

2012 | 1.87x | 1.65x

2013 | 1.65x | 1.31x

2014 | 1.34x | 1.16x

2015 | 1.23x | 1.13x

2016 | 1.28x | 1.10x

2017 | 1.07x | 1.00x

That's right: the far column is the absolute worst case scenario, what would happen if you were miraculously horribly bad at choosing when to invest. Even in the worst case scenario, investing at the worst point in the worst year, $90 would have turned into $153. Investing at the best time would have given you $315! As long as you don't instantly sell the fund you'll come out on top.

This isn't rocket science, it's not some complicated stock pick, it's not hard to buy, and it's backed up by a hell of a history: index funds with low expenses give you a good return, no matter who you are. I know one person with $400 in VFINX and I know one person with several million in it.

And if you bought in 2007, before the recession, at the absolute worst possible time, you would still have nearly doubled your money in the last ten years - a 1.72x return.

Warren Buffet put a bet on this ten years ago, against a series of hedge funds, and as of now, with just months to go, he's winning. Not "winning against the worst", not "winning against the average"... the index fund - VFIAX (the Admiral class of VFINX) is beating every single fund handily, even though the bet started at a time advantageous to the hedge fund.
I disagree. Misspelling symbols and forgetting function names and signatures is a waste of time that distracts from what you're really learning.

I was dismayed to see the amount of time my first-time-programmer CS classmates had to spend navigating directories to locate functions and dealing with typo-based compile errors that would have been fixed immediately with an IDE. We should not be teaching new programmers that this is normal. Language and type aware autocomplete, inline syntax error and undefined symbol highlighing, and go-to-definition are things you should always expect from your programming environment.

Sure you can set up an editor to do these things, but that's a project in itself, and the results tend not to be nearly as good as "just use the JetBrains product."
Nothing in his post suggests PayPal has violated their agreements.

In fact, nothing here would be out of line for any merchant account (except maybe the customer service issues).

2% chargeback rate is extremely high. It would get you shutdown pretty much everywhere. MSP agreements usually say between 0.25% to 1% for the chargeback rate limit. This is 10x what i've seen some banks specify as an acceptable chargeback rate.

And if you exceed it.. you get warnings, reserve lines and longer holding periods, and eventually the termination of your account. Exactly what happened to OP.

Each one of those actions should have been a red flag to the merchant tellling them they have a serious problem they need to address.

You are glossing over a lot of design decisions by excluding method arguments.

Whether or not that is a proper solution depends upon the requirements.

A more useful example for beginners would be showing when you want an "eat" on a person class vs an "eaten by" on a food class vs when you need to pull out something more heavy handed.

Eg if your only axis of change is the foods you eat, and behavior is based primarily upon food, person as a dumb bag of data is likely the correct answer. Your behavior should probably be in a food class.
