So what realistic options did self-employed have before the ACA: either pay for an expensive insurance or be uninsured? What did most typically choose?
Actually, I would imagine that the YC model would benefit greatly in a world of legitimate ICO crowdfunding. YC doesn't really make their money from deploying huge amounts of capital. In an ICO crowd funding world YC companies could focus more on product and sale and less on fundraising.

I seriously doubt the ICO market is going to be ready for prime time until a few years from now.
IANAL, but you might have an interesting lawsuit there --- they are allowing you to setup a campaign that costs money, then locking you out of control. It would require a reallyy GOOD business litigation attny, but could get results.

In any case, getting an attny to look at potential causes of action in your state and sending their legal dept notification of intended action is likely to get FB's attention much more quickly than a user request.

Your state Attny General office may also be helpful, again, depending upon what state you reside/work.

(Of course, as mentioned in earlier comments, the simplest situation may be to cancel the ccard, and make sure that they don't transfer the charges to the new one if you have it reissued in a new number).
Thanks, I actually use Keepassdroid. However, can it open databases from KeePassXC? (Well, I guess I can check a bit later myself.)
It still has buffer hiccups when playing off a networked drive (apparently an old gstreamer issue), doesn't support LADSPA plugins (which probably isn't too relevant for an efficiency goal), and you have to add podcast files from their folder to be able to rate them, but all in all it does feel like good old Amarok 1.x.
The downside is that source also degrades over time, is subject to atmospheric interference (aka dust), and can be subject to physical resonation.

Not to mention the required power dongle can be a real limitation, even if the weight is not.

More like for years they gave everyone free research and patches. And then some companies turned that into a way to use it without crediting them and even going as far as to employ other people to copy their work.

Thank you for your response, and I am glad you find helpful and I am sorry that I speak up so much about it. Use cases like this is the only reason I've kept AMP on for so long.

Have you tried disabling your JavaScript and if so could you share your experience with that?
You could also use cmus.
Because the State actors that would be capable of making that kind of exploit would keep that to themselves.
First, if your bash script grows beyond about ten lines, it's time to consider rewriting it in a cleaner language. Python's a common one. I used to use Haskell for that kind of scripting as well, which was astonishingly good at it.

Here's my study suggestion:

0. Learn to use variable interpolation and backticks.

1. if blocks and the [ built-in function. Go read about the grammar and look at the flags that [ takes. Memorize the most common couple (file exists, is a directory), and know how to look up the others when needed. Find examples of variable interpolation tricks needed to make this function.

2. for and while blocks. Learn the grammer. for is mostly useful with `seq ...` or a file glob.

3. Learn some of the options to make bash fail early and loudly like pipefail.

4. Most of the power of bash is in the programs you call, and they aren't always the same ones you use interactively. Other folks have mentioned some of these. find, xargs, wait...

OSX battery usage is nowhere near as nice - it's very CPU intensive unfortunately. I enjoy the software itself (even though I can repeatably crash it when trying to set up some of the cloud music providers), but the power drain on the battery means I rarely use it when not on AC power.
Show HN: Orbit – Weekly list of software contractors ready for immediate work
I very much doubt you'll see any fugitive enhancement and in the two decades I've been cycling on and off supplemental Creatine for my workout regime, I can't speak for any such gains.

Creatine is both synthesized by the body and consumed in meat. The vast majority of it goes into skeletal muscles where it functions as an ATP recycling compound, something these cells consume a lot of. Small amounts are found inn the blood and brain add well but not nearly as much.

It may provide a small boost if you're low on blood sugar simply from providing some extra energy and drawing water into the cell - but it's not much more than you would get from simply consuming energy rich compounds like sugars or carbohydrates. It does certainly provide significant physical performance enhancement by increasing endurance, reducing muscle fatigue and generally providing greater muscle "pump" from it's cell volumizing qualities. Thus I'd say that the only cognitive gains one would experience would be from the added satisfaction coming from better performance and improved physique - ie. A placebo effect of sorts. However, depending on the importance of physical fitness to an individual, this can be substantial. My improved workouts and increased strength definitely put me in a much better mood and provide greater motivation for my intellectual endeavors. Ironically, because it can supercharge workouts, it can leave one with substantial mental fatigue immediately after such workouts at which point you're better off taking a break to recover before doing any mentally intense stuff

Can I ask how can a service be blocked in a country?

Is it because it has centralized servers? What if it was open source and could be hosted on any website?

Then they would have to detect signatures of the protocol and block that, right? At what level, the national level? But the server would be local.

So what does it mean when they say they block Tor for instance?

How can you block something that is run on many domains and servers inside your country?
I disagree. They still need to take the time to get that knowledge from somewhere? I don't think anyone is born with the knowledge.

They were building nice cars in Germany, they just weren't building a lot of them.

Meanwhile Ford had produced ~15 million Model Ts and 4 million Model As prior to 1932 (when production of the Model A was stopped).

All games I remember good still are, my MAJOR gripe is that post 1995 most games got standardized as to what left/right clicks are for and how movement control is performed (wasd+shift/space) so going to play game before or around that timeline with those clunky ux is a major mental drain

i.e. Fragile Allegiances, Magic Carpet, Shogun Total War are all enticing but I cannot play without getting frustrated.

Reading it, it sounds like they use HMAC challenge response for the password to the vault. For that to work, you'd insert yubikey, enter a password, and the password is passed through the yubikey and hashed. The hash is then used as the password to open/lock the vault. That gives you a reasonably strong password for the vault. It does not prevent phishing. Therefore, anyone with the hash and access to the vault can still access all passwords without your knowledge. The TOTP thing sounds like a google authenticator sort of feature.

I'm sticking with zx2c4 pass. It is an assembly of gnupg, git, and pwgen. Trusted open source components. Works with a Yubikey (opensc and gpg-agent) to prevent private key theft via software. QTPass is a nice cross platform gui client. PassFF extension provides excellent browser integration. Android Password Store and OpenKeychain allow pass and yubikey to work on my mobile. Strong 2 factor password storage everywhere I need it.

My biggest problem these days is dealing with sites that don't allow 30+ char passwords with full range of special characters. Almost exclusively, banks.

I think what you're describing is the difference between a technical buyer/recommender and an economic buyer. You're obviously a technical buyer, so for you, features that solve your specific pain are important and you probably acted as gatekeeper to the whole process. But at some point in large purchases, there has to be an economic justification - and that is where the solutions/trust/relationships become more important.
It's not really "dedicated", it's just SIMD for FFT like most signal processing. Takes about 25 MIPS: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/2672/why-...

You can get dedicated MP3 low-power decoder chips. You might have one in a fancy PC soundcard (SBLive?), but I don't think it's included in baseline AC97.

(I remember having a 486DX that could decode MP3s with the Fraunhofer player at about 95% CPU but not Winamp, which was slighly too slow to keep up)

Creatine concentrations are highest by far in muscles, but it also distributes throughout the blood and brain.

Creatine phosphate is part of a reaction making ATP use effective (specifically: it allows rapid conversion of ADP to ATP during times of high demand). This is necessary for basic functioning - we synthesize creatine naturally and also absorb it from our diet. Supplementing it enables using muscles for a longer period without exhaustion, and helps you reach the boundaries of muscular strength before you reach energy limits.

The proposed mechanism of improved brain functioning is, interestingly, the same as the muscular mechanism. During times of high demand, creatine improves ATP regeneration rates. The ATP cycle happens the same way in the brain, so creatine can play the same role there. This claim is nothing new, it was for instance studied back in 2003 here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1691485/pdf/1456...).

There's no mysterious second effect here - we know for certain that creatine plays the same role in the brain and muscles. (We also know what that effect is - it wouldn't have any relationship to physical damage sustained in a concussion.) The outstanding questions are whether improving ATP cycling in the brain has a meaningful impact on performance, and whether safe creatine supplementation changes neurological PCr levels enough to cause that benefit.
Drums.

In 1980-82, many people in the recording industry thought that drums (as an acoustical instrument played by a human) were going to disappear. 1980s drum machines (starting with the Linn) were big hits and used everywhere. Entire records done with the Linn drum machines.

Even extraordinary, in-demand studio drummers like Jeff Porcaro, started buying their own and learning how to program it, advertising his "drum programming" services.

Yet, it is 2017 and drums are still a popular instrument.

The bottom line is -- it is really difficult to "kill" a musical instrument. I can think of only some instruments that have been really "killed" -- perhaps the Harspsichord and the lyra. This means you need 300 years to kill an instrument...

Moonlight helps companies increase momentum by hiring expert software engineers as part-time consultants. We just finished YC’s Startup School (where we were in the first office hours video [1]). While we’ve had many contractors join our marketplace, our main focus has been getting more clients to hire through Moonlight.

What differentiates us from other sites is that we have quality contractors who are not normally in the contractor market. 62% of our 1000+ contractors have day jobs at technology companies. at companies like Facebook and Google.

We've realized through user testing that clients like to see who is available and how much time they have to work each week, before they submit a problem to the contractor community. So, today we’re releasing that as a product!

Orbit is a weekly email of top software contractors ready immediate work. We have 1000+ contractors with backgrounds like “Frontend team at Facebook” and “Former Android Team at Google.” When you sign up for Orbit, we’ll send you the latest issue - and inside you can read about some of the projects where Moonlighters have made an impact.

If you’re interested in contracting through Moonlight - you can sign up here: https://www.moonlightwork.com/apply

A Matter of Considerable Gravity
Basic thing is that these messengers do not have persistent connections. They instead register with a notification service that then wakes up the relevant app when a new message comes in.

This is why the likes of MSN Messenger didn't survive the transition to mobile, because they were built around persistent connections.
Intel is expensive, and not very power efficient in tiny chips.
ARM is much cheaper and more efficient. RISC-V is similar to ARM, but even more cheaper.

I agree that writing long, monolithic scripts isn't optimal, but there's no reason you can't break a large script into multiple smaller scripts. And there are certain tasks where <programming language of choice> won't offer any advantage over using a regular ol' shell script. If one really needs/wants to get into Bash, I'd recommend learning it well enough to make educated decisions about when Bash starts becoming a pain, and the benefits of <programming language of choice> start to kick in. In some cases, a <programming language of choice> will be more of a hinderance than a help, especially in areas where the the functionality you want cannot be found in the standard library.

This effect is called "chromostereoscopy":

Strangely, the above patented system notwithstanding, I recall from being a kid this (or something similar) being marketed (with glasses too) as part of a really cheap and cheesy comic book (I most likely still have copies of that comic book at home), sometime in the 1980s. Unless I am mis-remembering the timeframe (possible), it was long before ChromaDepth (I also recall it being used for firework displays, too).
Probably the same way everyone does, by pulling it out of thin air as a guess. When nobody even knows what theoretical breakthroughs are necessary, you'll always end up with a scattershot all over the place, even amongst experts. Try asking working mathematicians how long until the Riemann hypothesis is resolved one way or another, or look at what people were saying about Fermat's Last Theorem up until it was solved.

What we do know is that current techniques won't get us close to AGI, so something new is needed (or perhaps like backprop, something old will work once we have enough compute power). Personally I'm bullish on AGI because I have strikingly low faith in the ability of evolution to operate very effectively as a tool for algorithm discovery, so I suspect that once we've hit the compute threshold we'll find that many different algorithms can do the trick, and 40 years is probably not out of the question for us to hit that point (or 10, or 100), depending who you talk to about what the compute threshold might be.

I'd caution against putting too much weight in what experts say, though, since with a tiny few set of exceptions anyone working on "AI" today is actually just working on narrow AI, which is, as someone put it, just glorified linear regression. Those tools will almost certainly be part of the solution, but only in the sense that the classical theory of Diophantine equations was part of Weil's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem - they are not the core of the theoretical approach.
Project Common Voice
I wonder a lot about this. Everyone I know in my hometown works in some sort of local service industry -- for the most part city government, healthcare, or construction. The factories are all closed down, there's very little office space, and it's a bit too far from the regional capital to commute. I really wonder what economy all the service workers are there to support.
Why? I'm not asking for help and I'm in no imminent danger to myself or others. I've made no plan nor have I announced any plan.

I've been like this for the majority of my life and my circumstances have deteriorated significantly over the past 18 months. I don't want "emergency services". That's part of the problem; people are afraid to speak up due to not only the stigma but also the risk of having someone misinterpret the situation and presume there's some acute risk, when there isn't.. which only complicates the situation.

I'm homeless and broke, on top of a shit ton of other problems. I've been suicidal for most of my life. My career prospects are bleak. What exactly do you believe your efforts, while well intentioned, will achieve? I assure you that you'd not only complicate my situation further, you'd probably make it worse.

My point was that statistically it's becoming more likely that, at some point in the future, I will be at risk for completing suicide. Wanting help and wanting to be dead don't have cross over or gray areas in some cases. Please don't invade my privacy. I've had enough of that already.
That's very cool to hear, I'm a lot more interested in the eGPUs (vs. something like an AWS P2 instance) after reading this. Thanks again for sharing.
