Dying is part of living. You cannot live without dying eventually (at least for now). Being born ultimately leads to dying somewhen. There is no way around that, that's just how living works.

Since you cannot change anything about that you just have to accept the fact of being dead in the future. So what to do about it? First thing is to realize that everything is temporary. You, humanity, earth, the universe. It's just a huge coincidence that you were born in the first place (you can try doing the math ;) ). So while you cannot prevent yourself from dying, you can do the best of the time when you are not dead.

You cannot know, what happens when you are dead. Maybe there is nothing, maybe there's some kind of paradise, maybe you can f*ck 42 virgins or maybe you are born again depending on how much karma you collected. Maybe the universe and existence itself is just a loop and when you die, you just start over where you started last time. Who knows and since you cannot know, there is not much sense in worrying about. Just be the best human you can be and accept the fact that someday it will be over.

What that called is Thanatophobia. I have had this for quite a long time. The earliest I remember was when I was about 7-8 years old. I am 25 now.

I have not overcome it really. It just goes and comes with periods - makes it incredibly hard to sleep when it does.

The periods are worst when I am stressed but they seem to get a bit better as I get older (ironically I suppose).

A thing that helped greatly is talking about it with my wife and going to sleep together, it relaxes me enough to fall asleep relatively easy..

I am not sure what would work permanently as I tried various things over the past 17 years but nothing made it go away entirely.

If you want to talk more in detail about it, you can sent me an email (it is in my profile).

Good luck with it!
I have an android phone (S7 edge). Before I got this phone, I was a light user of snapchat. On the new phone, Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram were pre-installed. I set them up, they started working perfectly. I downloaded snapchat. It crashed on login. I literally could not get it to work on my brand new flagship device. That's my reason.

Reminds me of a habit I have which made me end up on tops of mountains occasionally. I guess the algorithm can be called "observable ascent":

1. Look around
2. Find a relatively close high spot that is visible
3. Plan and climb on top of it
4. From the peak, find the next highest spot visible
5. Repeat

Also works for other topologies.

I can't speak for all the genes on that list, but I wouldn't go around knocking out FUT2 just yet. We don't know the full extent of biological roles for it, and the functionality is probably redundantly encoded in multiple genes too.

Specifically for viral interactions I reckon you'd be better off designing a small molecule inhibitor of viral binding via whatever lectin they have to whichever protein (or lipid for that matter) the sugar that FUT2 glycosylates is attached to. This allows for much more precise targeting of the undesired behaviour, rather than just chopping out the whole gene.
it is strange.

Care to show data about Sweden for 2016?

Because your first link talks only about Syrian refugees and only a fraction (<30%) of those coming to Europe were from Sweden. It also talks about refugees in neighbouring countries, which changes the picture a lot.

> as of 16 March 2016 they had recorded nearly 5 million registered
> Syrian refugees: 2.1 million of them in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and
> Lebanon, another 1.9 million in Turkey, and more than 28,000 in
> North Africa.

Go see http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/... and "well-known falsehood" is not that a falsehood any more.

IBM really should be able to see that this is a very questionable contract and not take the contract.
You can frankly do front end the way you've always done. We still use razor with a little jquery and a lot of our older projects still use asp forms.

We've used angular on a few projects, but it took time to educate our staff and their time to market as well as the required support increased significantly, and then angular 2 arrived...

Honestly it seems like the JS exists to sell a lot of education and a lot of books. Maybe we did it wrong, but as a clean business case angular was a terrible for us.
Herman Miller - worth ever penny of the $10,000 USD I spent (SV). Also, Dat Embody Chair: http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Embody-Chair (I paid $500 USD) worth it.
I think JS has this problem because of constantly high inflow of new developers who easily get on new boats. They cannot differentiate between old and new tools (except for hype and cv-driveness), and new tools don't kill their productivity as much. Personally I never made it into frontend because learning basics makes me sick of html/css/js trinity, and learning advanced tools is a neverending war. Advanced js programmers feel that and try to create more tools, shorting the circuit.

(Otoh, programming has changed since our youth time. Back then we programmed for one local, now we do it for thousand remotes. Latency penalties turned upside down literally, storage is faster than SIMM, ui is slower than FDD.)

Since web 1.98a* we stopped to look at program as a whole and separated it into frontend and backend. That was a key point that allowed so much divergence and frustration. It may sound crazy, but we need new, more low-level browser (don't even call it browser, it is a network layer) that could seamlessly connect single heterogenous app on two network endpoints, since no one really cares about underlying protocols anymore. Leave www rot in browser and make internet apps great again. All good tools from '95 are still here.

* you cannot call something 2.0 until it has at most 2-3 generic and mature ways to do everything.
When a component throws, it means the user's code has encountered an unexpected error. That means the component is in an unexpected state, and you cannot reasonably say that that component can rebuild it's (internal) state to a stable (and renderable) state.
my mtb it kitted out with 2.4 (front) and 2.2 on the back (Continental Xking) 29" tyres. That's about as wide as i can go given my forks and chainstays.

It is self defined, as in they call themselves feminist. You will be hard pressed to find any distinguishable feature.

You brought up hiring new staff. This government is the largest employer in the nation and has worse gender segregation than the private industry. One could be forgiven to think then that a "feminist" government would have at minimum create a recommendation in the hiring policy to address that. Nope. Government hired positions still top as the most extreme gender segregated professions in the nation and the trend with this government is more gender segregation in government hired positions, not less.

The whole "let's not sell our products on Amazon because of counterfeits" seems exceedingly silly to me.

The only people who will know about it are your "hardcore" buyers, those who keep up with everything to do with your company. To the average buyer, if the official products aren't up, all that'll do is give more exposure to the counterfeits than before, because the legitimate goods aren't there to soak up that exposure.

If anything, if they're scared of counterfeits, they should have listed the genuines even more aggressively, to get more of the views that would have gone to the counterfeits.
Unless you modify everyone ever, this is extremely unlikely to happen.

There are people resistant to malaria that do not carry the deleterious red blood cell mutation, but a different variant.
It is also easier for an outsider to figure out where to report the bug.

I had a bug using NLTK to display parse trees in Jupyter notebooks. NLTK uses tkinter to render the parse trees to PostScript and GhostScript to produce a png image. The chain broke when the PostScript output had a font size of 0.

If this had been a bug in a closed-source program, all I could have put in a bug report would have been "doesn't work, pls fix".

Instead, I could submit a workaround to NLTK and start looking for the reason tkinter generated malformed PostScript output. This turned out to be because Tcl/Tk's font handling used Xft, which used FontConfig, and used an integer for the font size where FontConfig expected a double. Everything worked fine until FontConfig started doing floating point math on the font size. The Tk maintainer who triaged my bug report couldn't even reproduce it on his system, because his version of FontConfig only ever copied the value.

Only because every component of the chain was open source, was it possible to track the bug down and fix it.
Sort of, but in the spirit of Groucho, I wouldn't want to be a member of any in-group that would have me. I avoid Reddit these days, except in specialist subreddits, it feels like wading through a mire, and highly combative. The over-arching subculture is a little much for me.

I wouldn't come here instead if it was too welcoming - getting to the end-result of high-quality discussion involves being harsh or exclusive in some way, and false-positive/debatable-positive moderation happens. I'd personally like to see a little less technophilia (or more philosophy/critical commentary), but you can't say WYS!=WYG with a name like Hacker News.

You simulate and test in lab for an even better mutation. Guided evolution is much faster than genetic evolution.
It's all about the batteries and always has been. Hydrogen is ultimately the only thing that makes sense in the super-long term as a complete and total solution, providing the necessary energy density (given current knowledge), but something like lithium batteries might very well be a long-term stepping stone until then. We are pretty much already there. We just need a few megafactories to pump out those batteries on the cheap.
This is an important point. It surprises me that many non-US companies use slack for their internal and secret communication.
Or they could use a different source for sperm or eggs, especially that they are supposedly not attached to their own genetic code (being willing to "edit" it anyway).
Efforts like these just confuse me. At first I thought It would be any cars on the road by 2040, in which case this is enough notice, since the warning gives consumers enough time to plan (22 years). But outside of a few strange edge cases like specialised cars, what's the point of banning them by 2040?

Electric cars are going to dominate sales within 10 years. At scale, they are cheaper to fuel, cheaper to maintain, have an acceptably high top speed (anything over 160km/h isn't really needed and Telsas can go 250km/h), a better acceleration curve, they are better for human health (no particulates), they are better for the natural environment (no oil spills), they are better to fight global warming.

The only thing that they are worse at is fuel up time and range. And if either of those problems are solved, both of them effectively are, since fast fuel up gets us a longer effective range and extremely long range (say 2000km) makes fill up time irrelevant.

The writing is on the wall. Fossil fuels are going to be completely replaced very quickly. By taking aggressive steps to ban non-electric vehicles sooner both the environment AND our economy will be better off since we'll gain an advantage in the new industries.

In Canada we're still building oil pipelines, it's madness. It's like building a whale blubber processing plant after the early commercialisation of crude oil.
> leaking highly classified information to foreign powers - an act that would be punished as high treason in any sane country.

If she had been convicted for intentionally leaking information to foreign powers for money, she would have been convicted for treason.

But the prosecution could not find/show intent, so she was only convicted for incompetence.

Rarely. I'm from the public sector (a municipality) and the brutal truth is that we typically don't attract the best of the best. We don't pay enough and our reputation isn't great so we typically only attract the best of the best if they are having children (benefits) or come with some sort of ideology for wanting public service.
> natural selection, which only fights entropy by tormenting organisms because of their genes

Now that's a limited view of the process that created life. Natural evolution also pays back by upgrading the gene pool.

It is not necessary to train things from scratch; you take the largest imagenet model available and fine tune it for the task. This way it reuses much of the lower layers the have seen lots of data.
> what's the point of banning them by 2040?

It sets a deadline. Future parliaments can change it as they see fit, but I think the UK government had to say something otherwise they'd be contravening agreements made in the past.

Like you said, within 10 years electric cars sales will probably become the norm anyway, but I guess from a policy perspective it's signalling to manufacturers and the general public that they have 22 years to make the shift.
The generated CO2 would have to not blow away to the rest of the planet.

The sun shines on the ground in a wide band of the spectrum and heats it up. The hot ground re-radiates mainly in the infrared. The result is equilibrium. CO2 reflects infrared more than the broad spectrum of solar radiation. Thus the ground with CO2 above it still gets heated as much by the sun but the infrared it radiates is partly now reflected back on itself. Thus the equilibrium is altered and the ground gets hotter.

So, even if the CO2 didn't spread everywhere, it would still be causing heating locally. The heat would eventually spread everywhere.
What is not true? You made one statement then you made a contradictory statement.

It matters not that neither of the alternatives that you supplied are palatable to your thinking processes. You cannot prove the veracity of your belief system by any scientific method as they are metaphysical in nature.

As I pointed out above, try listen to James Tour and you will see much of your "ton of evidence" is really evidence. It is conjecture and may have some evidential value, but on the basis of actual processes, the "evidence" just doesn't stack up.

We have in no way discovered the mechanism for turning single celled lifeforms into our species. If we had, we should have no problems in doing this from any sample of single cell lifeforms other than our own. We can't and we don't.

I don't consider any of the dna to be junk. I am using the definitions as promulgated by those who ascribe to the idea of "junk" dna. By your own definition as given above, this means that the relevant "junk" dna is not "junk".

As for my last paragraph, it is a consequence of the evolutionary model. You can argue that it is not a consequence of the model but then you would be arguing against the evolutionary model itself. Since I took a great deal of interest in this area in my younger days and I would read as many of the published experiments as I could. What got me looking at this further was the discrepancy between the reported results of these experiments and the purported conclusions reached by the experimenters.

My last sentence is accurate, if you cannot test and reproduce the outcomes/results then it is just conjecture.
So with those comments, what is your background, interest and expertise in these areas?
well on servers/laptops i was always happy to have a intel chip.
I once bought a usb stick with intel, which was a complete chunk of garbadge.
Well the BCM chips were "mostly" stable, so I didn't had too much problems with them, some chips had problems under linux, but besides that they were ok.
I guess ruining videos is paying off then.

I'll be watching a video lets say it's a downbeat makes-you-feel sort of video. In the middle Facebook decides it's cash-in time and you get some zany wacky advert for something or other. Yeah cheers Facebook.

The overall effect is I realise I'm wasting time watching videos and exit out during the ad, I imagine eventually I'll just not bother watching videos at all.

I'm also aware most of the videos I'm watching out of convenience are freebooted too, it's a bit cheeky to profit on those.
But how is that even possible? The best "AI" we have now are essentially just impressive exercises in data science, telling us in a surprisingly accurate ways things about the world that we already know.

We've banned this site for using a well-known upvote-selling and comment-selling service. I wish everyone would realize that this is obvious in the data and not worth the risk. Perhaps someone could also communicate to the spammers that they're wasting their time?

All: Spam votes and spam comments will get your accounts and sites banned on HN, so please don't.
Right, but imagine something like a Raspberry Pi with some cheap storage attached. It could collect data from your house (temps, duty cycle of furnace/AC, solar panel power, garage door state, collect your photos/docs, receive email/IM asynchronously, etc). Sure you'd want offsite backups, maybe at a friends house... if his server had a public IPv6 address. With IPv6 it would be much easier to remotely use all those resources/files.

You could give friends/family access to your photos, you could receive/send messages even if your phone/laptop was down, off, stolen, or gasp without a network connection. You could share files, and if someone wanted to confiscate it they would have to come knocking.

IRC never did async well (you have to be online at the same time) and never became popular with the general public. Skype did p2p well, back when most had an IP address, a physical network cable, and left their machine on (unlimited power). As NAT and mobile devices (that couldn't constantly be available for bouncing around a NAT and participating in a DHT). As a result Microsoft centralized it, so low power clients could connect as needed.

IPv4 basically turns a home computer into a consumer of internet services, even for silly things like using your cell phone to open your garage door requires a cloud service to be involved.

My main point is many traditional web services could be provided by the individual. You can share docs, communicate, and manage your increasingly complicated home environment easily with IPv6. Sure some would still use centralized services, but many more would do it yourself.

Why would you live on a planet with different gravity, atmosphere, etc when you can have a nice orbiting habitat adapted to human needs?
I agree, though the fact I had to go back and check the article to find it might mean it's a bit too subtle.
At first, I dismissed snapchat thinking "people will hack the protocol and save messages anyway, and the whole idea will fall apart". Then, I was a little envious that someone else had the idea, and I now think it was a good idea, and that I was blinded by an overly-technical analysis of their product.

But it doesn't look like the couple good ideas they had were enough to make a long-term business. So, unless they do something cool in the next 12 months, RIP. Founders got a nice payday, so who cares?
We tried using that, and quite frankly it's horrible.
Its not even that, its disingenuous because you're being their friend in the hopes you'll get a payout.
