I didn't expect any job to be handed to me, and I wouldn't have if I had been whatever major you seem to believe is more "useful." Actually, I still wouldn't even if I went back for another year and a half to finish a Bachelor's degree.

Your reply has achieved little more than strengthen my point. And, at that, in more ways than one.
What does 100% efficiency mean? Does that mean that for some power delivered to the LED load there is a (near) 100% efficient conversion to visible light ("photons")? Would that mean the LEDs operate with practically no heat generation?

Thank you for doing this -- all of it. It seems like you've built up a tremendous amount of goodwill and I hope it will pay off for you, in what seems like a much more focused new venture. If you can capture 10% of Craigslist's reach without the sketch, you should be OK :-)
Not been to Mexico City, but I have been in many US cities (NYC, L.A., SF, San Diego, Salt Lake…) a variety of times during a 15 year span. One time I will never forget I was on the bus from the L.A. airport to downtown, and chit-chatting comes out that I was staying at hostel downtown. A couple of reactions were priceless, like I were a dead man walking.

It was perfectly fine in the end.

The thing is if you are showing bling in some form or simply being unaware, you are at risk _anywere_ in a city. Hell I got cash-robbed inside a Times Square restaurant when I was 18, thinking I was getting a good deal on a Sony ultra slim CD player with 30 seconds skip buffer.

I think it's pretty clear that the reporter just flat out misunderstood both the paper and the researchers. They even supply this quote: "Loss of memory and depression are two sides of the same coin," says D'Amelio.

Now, this is not an area that I'm terribly familiar with, so I also had trouble understanding the paper. I get the impression that the disease (in the mouse model) attacks the dopamine system first, so this can be an early warning that Alzheimer's may develop. Is that a correct interpretation?

Trends in Alexa rank are not a reliable metric, unfortunately.
All economic systems are to some degree adaptive and nonlinear, because people are adaptive and nonlinear. Economists generally create static linear models of these systems. Additionally, economists tend to assume Gaussian errors with diagonal covariance matrices because the math tends to blow up otherwise. Non-gaussian errors are fairly common unless your data set is a bunch of means (thus the ubiquity of "outliers"). Beyond that, economists assume "rational" agents that maximize utility, but this is a fairly poor model of human behavior.

Economists aren't uncovering an underlying truth, they're basically building toy models. These toy models might approximate economic systems in a narrow range of controlled circumstances, but things rapidly deteriorate outside that range. The problem is that people assume the models reflect reality, and make bets based on that assumption.

It would be nice if economists focused on fully Bayesian models with Gaussian process priors and long tailed (ideally Levy alpha-stable with a low alpha bias) likelihood functions. At least then the uncertainty of their models would be absolutely clear, and black swan type events would be partially factored in.

You sound like you've worked with significantly different code than I have. Your "never once" is my "almost always", and my "X reason" is often because I'm working with an immature, unreleased library developed by another team at my employer.
OK, I guess. But it would have been illegal if Apple had shorted IMG before informing them about the end of licensing, right?
And I think board members are not supposed to have conflicts of interest through insider connections and yet the VC ecosystem mostly operates by insider connections.

I'm not condoning what this guy did but the reason he was able to do all of that is not because he was being shady (although from a specific perspective he was being shady I think it is a matter of degrees when it comes to this stuff). It is because the system is set up to enable exactly this kind of behavior and he just happened to overstep a few too many boundaries whereas the people that have been playing this game for a while have a much more measured approach.

So instead of jumping on the bandwagon and burning this guy maybe we should reflect on how the ecosystem operates as a whole and whether the rules are slightly rigged. He'll have his day in court but if the rest of us don't learn from the experience then not really sure if all the wasted bits on the matter are worth it in the end.
I remember routinely wiping and reinstalling windows 98 and XP back when my folks were on dial-up. Browser security in those days was an almost unimaginable joke.
When I got my student loans, I had to do a whole bunch of online orientation. It included the various repayment plans, and even what the monthly oayment would be under each plan, and how much total interest each plan would eventually cost me. I think its a federal requirement that this information is provided before the loans are disbursed.

If someone doesn't take the time to understand their student loans, which are one of the most important things in their lives at that age, I just don't know what to say.
Same way you get to 50K. Training and stubbornness. :-)

I've only run north of 50K three times now, and only twice in races. The first time was 42 mi to celebrate my birthday a few years back. Getting to 26.2 mi, 50K and 50 mi require training and preparation. But getting beyond 50 mi, and especially beyond 100K require resolve. It certainly helps to be well trained of course, but I think mostly you just need to not quit.

The race I did is eight 12.5 mi laps. I finished lap 5 and thought: only 9 more hours or so of running. But, you just break it down into manageable chunks and keep going. Or you quit.
Spystealth.orggmail.com just saved me from my husbands wicked plans
I recently was so fortunate to work with a professional hacker after all this while of looking for one. I was so much in need of a hacker to hack my cheating husband's call logs. I had the feeling he was cheating on me but i just had to be sure so i dont make the wrong move.Not only did spystealth.org@gmail.com give me access to my husband's call logs, i was also able to eavesdrop at every calls he makes. You need to see the shock on my husbands face when i played his conversations with the lady on phone to him,...he couldn't deny it and i also played to him the conversation they both had about abandoning and ripping me of my money. could you believe he was planning to abandon me with the kids i had for him then fly to Australia to start a new life with her?... How can a man be so wicked?. I was so hurt because i loved him so much and had great plans for us and the kids but his intentions towards me was to rip me of my money then go and start a new life with the woman. That's pure wickedness. This is a man i love with all i have and he tells me all the time how much he loves i and our kids. He is just a cheat and a freaking liar. But i still give thanks to spystealth.org@gmail.com for coming to my aid when i needed a hacker the most, i cant imagine the sufferness i and my kids would go through if he had succeded with his plans. You all should hire spystealth.org@gmail.com to be on a safer side. You never can tell who your enemy real is.

Exactly. It was a small scale system and the rig mechanic or whoever was supposed to do it as one of their 100 or so responsibilities so it often wasn't done. It was also pretty much a V1 system so it was just very sensitive.

To set some context that people here might appreciate, there wasn't a single computer or data link to offshore drilling rigs at that time. We were just starting to play with radio modem links.

In Texas, an ID is required to even view an apartment. Usually, they hold the drivers license at the office while you go view the apartments. It is a state law, and was put in place to prevent rapes.
The CTO at my company recently decreed PR reviews to be the number one priority during the day. Seems to have helped make clear the importance of reviewing things. I think when it's explicitly and clearly mandated from a superior, it makes it easier to justify the cost of the context switch and I also think it's a good idea at an organizational level to prioritize this.
Why not custom scripts via `--scripts-version`? How do you keep things up-to-date like create-react-app does?
Very few students would qualify. Most of them have no credit history and little to no income. If it were easy to default, the entire system would collapse.

Obviously the impossibility of defaulting and the ease of getting loans feeds the problem, but what you are proposing would destroy the system rather than fix it.
Someone would rat them out, a source would be discovered and give them away, they'd out themselves for ego, make a fatal operational security error, etc.
The reason for all these upfront requirements is that many areas have made eviction almost impossible, so landlords have to be very sure up front that they are renting to qualified tennants.

Actually I meant the source tree, and it's because Linus signed the git commit, and thus the tree and all its history. But yeah, the distro works too, which is the whole point: centralized trust does work without a solution to the "no trust" problem. And it works because you build an identity that is consistent over time. I can trust the 4.10 tree because it's signed by the same keys that have been signing kernel keys for years, which are themselves cross-signed by a bunch of trusted identities who have similarly built histories.

So yeah, we trust Linus. And it works.
Surprised that the author is quoting latency of editors to 0.1ms, when the precision of the camera is only 4ms. Are they really repeating these tests 40+ times?

So I'm by no means pro-drug, and I agree that most people who say "it's impossible to fix because we haven't fixed it yet" lack imagination, but there is absolutely some fishy stuff going on with drug policy.

What we are doing now is broken, has been broken, and everyone knows it's broken. There are hidden motives here, no doubt. Corruption is a very real thing and there are a lot of people with a lot at stake regarding drug policy.

The most important thing to successful drug prohibition and treatment is a semi-controllable grey market.
The reason why East Germany was doing this is the same why the Soviet Union was. The Babi Yar massacre was carried out with the enthusiastic help of the local population. After the war, the Soviet authorities felt that it was best to let bygones be bygones, especially since the sentiments that led to the massacre remained wide spread. In fact, persecution of homosexuals is practiced by the Russian government to this day.
4k at native (unless you're using a single, >30 inch display) is too small. I use two 4k, 28 inch monitors and everything is too small at native resolution.

I ran in to a lot of issues doing the xrandr downscaling (my two displays would overlap), so I've just been using Windows partition since this is my gaming PC. My linux partition is Arch, I hope Gnome supports easy fractional scaling soon. Something similar to the display scaling menu on Mac OS would be really nice.

1990 to 20XX is a long path. I perhaps mis-spoke in the sense that "people didn't invest in his work and bring it to a wide audience by way of a film adaptation until recently" which I intend to mean the concept of 'crossing over.' Recognition outstide of one's genre is an appreciation of talent and craft in ways that might be hard to understand, and I don't mean to be insulting. There are conventions, and rising above them is worth appreciation.
Huh? Is this a viewing or something else?

What would be the advantage of killing people in 10-20 years versus killing them right now?

I mean, smallpox has been synthesized, and it spreads fast, has pretty high mortality rate, and hardly anyone is vaccinated against it any more.

I can't think of any military (or even terrorist) reason why you'd want that kind of delayed mortality, but maybe I'm overlooking something.
I totally get it.

"I don't trust banks" is a setiment that actually makes sense when you only have $200 total to your name. Not to mention you are at constant risk of overdraft....

If you are at need of quick liquid capital I totally understand why you'd want to be cash only than risk stupid ATM fees, overdraft fees, whatever. It makes sense.

Nobody has ever said to me, ever, "I would really like a bank account, but I don't have access to one." It's always "I want to keep my money, I don't trust banks to keep it for me."

It's also complicates things, more than strictly necessary,that it.

Participating in the banking industry becomes a higher stakes venture than keeping your cash under a mattress.

It's a hard thing to get your average HN reader to understand unless you've 'been there, done that...'

This is good advice for a certain subset of people. If your income is high enough that you won't qualify for the income-based repayment plans, it can make sense to refinance.

On the other hand, if you need IBR, or some of the other protections offered by federal loans, you are taking a risk by refinancing. You'll lose those protections, and you might need them in the future. If you are pursuing one of the public service loan forgiveness programs, you probably need to keep the federal loans.

I refinanced with Commonbond, a Sofi competitor, a few years ago. My loan balance was fairly low compared to my income, I would never qualify for income-based repayment, and my federal loan rate was something like 6.8%. I refinanced my 10-year loan to a 5-year loan with a low interest rate. My situation was ideal for this. However, if your loan balance is more than your annual salary, or you need to rely on the federal loan protections for some other reason, you shouldn't do it.

On the other hand, there seems to be no downside to refinancing private student loans.
I've always wondered that as well, not being one that remembers quotable material in enough detail to be able to put it into use easily in most cases.

For myself, usually I remember someone said something in a vague way that I think it relevant (often a prior HN submission of some sort), and I start using google and hn.algolia.com to start looking stuff up until I find the article. comment or submission I thought I remembered or I give up. My quotes are generally less quotes and more notes about what I think are interesting references to the discussion at hand. I imagine if even only one out of fifty people reading do that for the whole submission, it still might add up rather quickly.

Of the things I do reference, I generally find I'm likely to use them multiple times over a few months. As things are in recent memory, I see more connections. Sort of like after you learn a new concept you see places to use it all over. It feels like it's just topical all of a sudden, but I suspect it's mostly just that prior to learning it those times weren't strong enough to leave an impression in memory, making it feel like you didn't hear about it before when actually you did.
I don't get why the property got so much flak. Okay, management seems bad and communication seems to suck. However, background checks cost $50 each. So, it's already $100, putting their profit to $150 for locking one appartement for you for a few days. If you fail the background checks, it's your issue not there. And maybe we just need a better system for background checks. Surely.
This is why I prefer to live in parts of the US that resemble the demographics of most European city centers. It turns out that tends to be kind of a demographic optimum...
Cisco did this with some success (by some measures at least!): http://www.businessinsider.com/why-cisco-showered-three-men-...

Basically, funded the company of their star engineer(s), and had a put/call (for Cisco and funded co) option based on certain milestones being met.

Deal summaries:

Andiamo (2001): cisco funded 180m, paid 750m to buy.

Nuova (2006): funded 70m, paid 678m.

Insieme (2012): funded 135m, paid 863m.

All founded by the same three engineers. This practice fell out of favor under chambers CEO-ship. Other employees (and execs, most importantly probably ha) didn't like for understandable reasons, but interesting to see similar dynamics play out here, with similar reactions.
