I found a few interesting facts during the first 10 minutes or so of googling this:

1. Bled crabs die at higher than reported rates (Closer to 20%-25% than the reported ~10%-15%)

2. Bled crabs are back at full blood capacity in a week, and usually fully functional within 2-3 months.

3. This crab blood is seriously important to modern medicine (duh?, but hey its nice to have confirmation)

4. Population numbers are all guesses, and I couldn't find a number which I'd be willing to bet on. Low number was ~600k (mature crabs) high number was several million.

5. Losing blood and being thrown back into the ocean is an order of magnitude better than being chopped up and used as bait.

6. A huge number of these crabs get chopped up and used as bait. They're valued at ~$2 each, as bait :(

7. These crabs lay upwards of 50k eggs per season, per female. A specific bird, the Red Knot, which doesn't seem to doesn't have magic medicinally valuable blood shows up and treats the eggs like an all you can eat buffet.

8. The Red Knot population has been on the rebound, thanks to conservation efforts revolving around the horseshoe crab, and the expanded food supply that offers.

Enough other people have gone over the various moral issues with this, and I don't think I'd be able to add much there. To me, the whole situation seems trivial to solve, via enhanced conservation efforts, and heavily reduced bait harvesting. Probably wouldn't hurt to make a few Red Knot omelettes too.

When I was younger I preferred staying up late and working and it allowed me to get a lot done. As I've gotten older and now have a family, things have flipped and now I much prefer to start my work day early, usually around 6am. This gives me more family time in the afternoon/evenings.
Is there any company that has a six hour day? Not a contractor or contracting agency, but a regular white-collar business that has full-time employees.

Unfortunately, until we see a company be successful while breaking the rules (not eight hour days, no open workspaces, etc), the world will continue the same. Maybe when we HNers start a company or startup we should actually do what we post about constantly.

I believe that eight hours is too much. Working eight hours a day (plus commute, however short it may be) leaves you little time for leisure when you add the chores of daily life. I rarely care about how the company is affected, so I am glad studies like these exist.

No, there's a difference between "this scenario is solvable with perfect play" and "it is impossible for the player to make moves that make the game unsolvable".

Sort of. Sometimes it's deliberate, but they're really just another terminal state (different win/loss conditions, like you get 10 points for getting either character to their room, but 30 for both). Often, though, it's because puzzles and such aren't well considered so players are able to do things that prevent any further progress (unintentionally). This means the game won't terminate (or will take unreasonably long, like sitting for 40 turns for a timer to finish counting down).

In the example (simple) game in the post, a player character may be able to pass into the red room and "win", but perhaps there's no condition for returning and the game only terminates when both make it to their individual rooms. If the other character lacks the keys to move through the green and blue doors, then they will be stuck and the game won't terminate. This is easy to guard against in a small game (small state space, easy to manually or mentally compute), but in larger games it's almost trivially easy to cause these sorts of dead-end states. Consider the puzzles of Sokoban, where pushing a block onto certain walls or a corner prevent further progress and require a restart. Now, that's part of the game in that case, but perhaps a designer wants to prevent (in their puzzles) this sort of situation from occurring. This sort of analysis of the game model (states and actions) will help them prevent it.

Clearly they've failed at achieving ”food security” if the local demand for potatoes has outstripped local supply.

There's nothing about the TPU architecture that prevents use for training. Training is also done as tensor operations, and training can be done at limited precision[1]. Just because the first TPU was memory-limited doesn't mean TPUs can never be used for training.

There is always a market for 40+y.o junior software developers. It probably is not as rewarding as you might need it to be.

Integer division rounding toward negative infinity makes it so that for integers a, b, with b > 0, then if a%b is defined as a - b * (a/b), you will always have 0 <= a%b < b.

Integer division rounding toward zero makes that not so. a%b for negative a, positive b, will be <= 0.

On the other hand, rounding toward negative infinity means that (-a)/b != -(a/b), when b does not divide a. Rounding toward zero makes (-a)/b = -(a/b).

I think most mathematicians would rather have 0 <= a%b < b than (-a)/b = -(a/b) if they can't have both.
Again, being good at interviews doesn't correlate with being good at programming. It doesn't even correlate well with people skills. There are plenty of people with great social skills in general that are bad at interviews. Interviews are mostly terrible and weird.

My startup Wizely has built its API on top of a Neo4j graph database. I've been working with it and the Cypher query language for over a year now and it's simply phenomenal.

My company has a six hour day since its inception in 2003. We are more than 12 people and we always thought that a eight hour day doesn't add to the productivity. We have an employee who wants to work eight hours and he brings some kind of development support so that works in this context.

There are days where people work longer hours because of a deadline but this is very rare and we always optimized to taking care of our team health. Also, our headquarters are in Buenos Aires, Argentina where a whole team working 6 hours per day is unusual.
I would seem prudent for an article complaining about deregulation and market solutions to mention the fact that:

> "Foreign companies and individuals—think Richard Branson and Virgin Atlantic Airways—are forbidden by U.S. law from owning more than 25% of a domestic airline. That’s why Virgin America could be sold last year to Alaska Airlines over the express wishes of Virgin’s famous founder: He just didn’t have enough votes."

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-welch-united-comp...

So while it may have become a cartel, like the drug cartels, policy really matters. I find it disingenuous to complain about a "naturally non-competitive market" like the NYT does, and not acknowledge the un-natural acts of policy keeping it such.

This article is from 2013. Has there been any further research published since then?
"They" is possibly more precise on gender, but adds a new layer of ambiguity about how many people you're talking about. If the OP saying "he" led you to second guess the gender of the author, saying "they" may lead you to second guess how many authors had contributed to the article. What really stands out to me is how quick some people are to correct the gender of someone when a comment may misrepresent them as if the content of the article was somehow altered by the word. The OP "involuntarily" wrote "he" because "he" is completely grammatically correct.

But you're right, since what was seen as the norm historically is not an argument for what we should make the future from, I propose we just use the word "floobity" to represent the singular, gender-neutral pronoun. Floobity wrote a great article, no matter what gender floobity happens to be.

What makes you think I thought "good enough" means 55% or 60% efficient, or whatever you object to? Good enough might mean 99% of the time.

You said it yourself!

>Even modeling for cancer detection we do 95% and medical device they do 99% confidence interval IIRC

So, in these applications, 95% and 99% respectively is the meaning of good enough.

So to put these in crab terms: maybe the crabs do it at 99.99% (3.89 sigma) and the synthetic they want to push through is only 99%, only 2.5 sigma.

So I am saying 99% can be good enough in some contexts - just as you've said.

Especially if it costs thousands to do it a la crab.

It doesn't have to be better than the crabs' blood to be good enough.

Yep, they made a lot of mistakes with the Wii U :). I think yours is really just a more complete rundown than mine (as opposed to an alternative.)

They lost against the PSX as well though (iirc, 3x more PS1's sold an far more games.) They struck gold with the Wii initially, but at the same time, moved further away from the mainstream gaming crowd. Many games were little more than poorly implemented gimicks.

I'm hoping they hit a home run with the switch, but it's too early to tell. I have one and, while BotW is great, I have nothing else to play.

I'm an old enough fogey to remember the launch of Laker SkyTrain back in the early 1980s that brought unbelievably low fares to the trans-Atlantic market, compared to the big airlines participating in the IATA 'tariff agreement' cartel. But Laker also discarded all the ticketing restrictions, you just bought your one-way fares and any extras you wanted.

It was those airlines, such as TWA and BA, that ran SkyTrain into the ground by pricing in response with fares that were uneconomical for them; Laker held-on for several years but eventually went bust,and fares returned to 'normal'.

So it's with great satisfaction to me that 30 years later the heirs of those airlines are scared of the modern-day Lakers.

My guess is that it's the keeping around of third-party drivers made for the previous OS that causes the majority of upgrade "rot."

If older editions of Windows just forcibly purged all the drivers when you upgraded, and told you to reinstall them afresh from the installation CD/OEM site (where you'd then get a version that's maybe for your current OS instead), that could have saved everyone quite a few headaches.

Then again, with major peripherals (displays, keyboards/mice, Ethernet cards, USB controllers) being much less standard than today, ripping out the OEM's driver could wedge your computer.

Along this line of thinking, if we knew exactly what was happening in the brain during sleep, could we speed up the process with mechanical/chemical means? Could we turn off brain functions to shrink the cells (or co-opt the existing sleep process and do this after one has fallen asleep), do the cleaning process (faster, while keeping the same effect) then wake up for maybe 30 minutes total of "sleep" a day? I personally don't think it's possible, at least for another century or so, because it's attempting to hack a body function and do it better (faster) than the body naturally does it (a dialysis machine is a poor substitute for a real kidney). Is there any example of a biomedical tech advancement where some part or mechanism in our body was augmented/replaced with something works better than the original?

Fun fact: toxin meant arrow long ago, for taxus, (bark tree ?) which bow were made of. The funny part is that that tree is .. toxic, it embeds alcaloids which can kill. The taxus philogenetic family was often a symbol of death for cultures, and people commited suicide using its "effects". Lastly, those familiar with oncology probably know paclitaxel/taxol; which are molecules derived from these alcaloids for their cytotoxig capabilities (forbid mitosis and induce apoptosis).

> Hotels that cater to business travelers can charge extra because the employer will pay for it.

More likely, IMO, hotels that cater to businesses have separate charges for internet because business (especially government) travel offices often have fixed (sometimes location-sensitive) caps on reimbursable lodging rates (but may, or may not, separately reimburse for other services during the stay with appropriate justification), so pulling non-core services out of the core rate means that more travellers will stay there.

Families, conversely—while price sensitive—will compare amenities and rarely have strict caps for the base lodging rate irrespective of what other services are included.
