Most natural health practice is nothing of that sort. It's things like diet/nutrition, exercise, stress/trauma therapy; all things that have significant evidence of being beneficial.

All the treatments I've tried in my journey to get well fit into this category: low-risk treatments for non-life-threatening conditions, that just support the mind and body to heal and strengthen naturally over the long term.

This has been my experience as well. MCT oil has long been medically recommended (i.e. by actual doctors) for serious gut issues, such as stomach cancer and cystic fibrosis. It is not routinely recommended by doctors as a standard treatment for CF, but it is popular in the CF community. It isn't not a drug. It is not an unproven treatment. It has a solid track record.

But, it seems to not be actively promoted in part because it isn't a drug. It is cheap and effective, but no miracle cure.

What gets actively touted are new drugs that cost $250k or more annually and are only effective on about 5 percent of patients.

There is no big fortune to be made in telling seriously ill people "If you eat better and avoid triggers, you can have higher quality of life, need fewer drugs, etc." There is a huge fortune to be made on these extremely niche drugs with insane price tags. So, doctors and other business people often promote the things that are lining their pockets, rather than the things that help patients improve their quality of life at little cost and low risk.
Why does a western moral standard give Apple the right to break Chinese law?

Where do you draw that line? What US laws are ok to break? Should Apple export other US laws like labor standards? If so, Alabama or California law?

Like it or not, globalism means that we're participants in a huge global community. Part of being in a community is respecting your neighbors, even when you disagree with them.
"he problem is that ones opinions regarding the entity responsible for issuing their paycheck are inherently less valuable"

No, they aren't, and it's horrendously biased to say that.

"So really, if you want a place of real discussion and debate, it's important to tie people to their companies in cases where they are participating in discussions about these companies.
"
No, it isn't, precisely because your premise is wrong. It's not just wrong, it's startlingly bad to me.

If your default position is "people's opinions are less valuable because they work for X", you really aren't going to do a good job of seeing multiple perspectives.

But given what you've written here, maybe you don't want to?
With decent cooling, the vega gpus can be overclocked to give significant boost.

I don't think so. The article touched on the fact that the watercooled one is already seeing a disproportionate ramp-up of power in order to ramp up clocks. That says to me that it's beginning to eat in to the headroom of the card and will soon begin to run up against its voltage wall. That suggests to me that they're already pushing the card pretty hard to get the stock performance levels, which doesn't leave a lot on the table for overclockers.
Also, you can teach nearly anyone to be a scrutineer. Good luck teaching a layman to audit voting machine source code.
Cool, maybe this means they'll finally be able to afford to implement the ability to play through a non-default sound device on Windows. You know, like the USB DACs a lot of music lovers have.
The game will radically change when metal printing arrives at the point where it can print coils and make stators and rotors.

Wake me up when metal printing reaches that point.
It's nobody's job to do it.

What I read from that is that you do not think that it is a more appropriate role for, say, the U. S. government. If that is the case, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. My POV is that to a large extent the U.s government has that leeway because they don't have financial incentives/disincentives to steer their decisions (this falls apart when viewed in a larger economic sense, but bear with me). Instead, the government makes laws, decrees, and treaties that fit within a worldview of what benefits the country as a whole, and to some extent to cajole other countries who might have a different worldview (Iran or Russia, for example). Or put another way, we leave it to the government to represent our moral, ethical and economic views of how the world should work. Whereas Apple should represent a different view: the desires of those that own stock with the symbol "AAPL", and their desire to make money (where are the "fiduciary obligation" folks when you need them?) If AAPL happens to take a stand I agree with, hurray, I'll buy more of their products and probably more of their stock. If they mistreat workers, I'll dig in and find out if I still feel comfortable giving them my monetary support (personally, no worse than others, maybe a little better). But what I don't expect from AAPL is for them to instigate "regime change" or whatever else it is the NYT is expecting them to do.

Anyway, that turned out longer than I wanted, but that's where I'm coming from.
> Payments via AliPay and WePay were technically illegal before they were legalized post facto after they became popular. A western company could have never gone near that.

Huh. Sounds like a certain transportation company...
I don't believe so. Inopinatus has wildly misquoted me and others here.
A nuclear power plant has a lifetime of over 50 years, so it pays to make sure you're doing it right.

It's like complaining that space probes and satellites use outdated processors and other computer technology. The Deep Space Climate Observatory was launched in 2015 with a 17 year old processor.
Because Github is, for the time being, what everybody else is using. You can't go wrong choosing Github in terms of users and contributors being familiar with the interface.

That said, I only use Github as a mirror. My "master" repositories are on a private, co-located server. The beautiful thing about Git is that it doesn't require any special software on the server side for hosting--just the regular client. And in particular, Git doesn't require a special daemon service. It doesn't even require a special service for hosting read-only HTTP repositories. The stock Git client can clone repositories over HTTP from static site files. My "official" public Git URLs are just HTTP URLs to a static read-only mirror which is updated from a Git hook when pushing. Those HTTP mirrors required no additional configuration whatsoever; they just sit inside my public_html/ user tree.

The secret to running your own server over the long term (I've been co-locating a server for almost 2 decades) is to keep things simple. It helps that I use OpenBSD, which has always maintained default web and mail servers which, even if disabled by default, are still "secure by default" in the sense of the stock software and configuration being well thought through. (This is especially true since OpenBSD replaced sendmail and Apache with their own software.)

I originally used CVS before switching to Subversion for a few years. But I was never comfortable exposing even a read-only mirror until I switched to Git, as both CVS and Subversion required special server-side software that I was unwilling to run, let alone maintain.

I only started using Github because most other people prefer using Github's interfaces for forking repositories and submitting pull requests. It's a trivial cost on my end (just an additional push), so I don't mind.
The day after Apple stands up to the Chinese government, Foxconn will be producing phones that no longer have the Apple logo, but will otherwise be Apple iPhones.

There is nothing Apple can do. In the name of profits, they have put their entire business in the hands of the Chinese government.
Does anyone here think China is more free or informed because Google held a hard line and got banned?
"Convey the same view as your employer, or remain silent lest you risk being fired. (No matter how much a company claims this isn't the case, it pretty much is, particularly revolving around talk about that employer specifically.) I doubt there exists a public post where a Googler says they think Google should be broken up Ma Bell style, or where they state that Google's attitude on privacy is broken and wrong"

You are wrong on both points, FWIW :)
But it's definitely true at other companies.

" And I do see the concern about people being dismissive of others based on their employers, particularly in comments not directly related to the topic being discussed."

Given another person just literally said to me "the opinion is less valuable because you work for X", i'm much more worried about this attitude than i am the one where people are biased towards their companies.

Most people in tech are not true believers. Most probably like their companies. But that doesn't mean they agree with what their companies do all the time.
Especially in a company the size of, say, Google, it's pretty, IMHO, silly to think that among 150k of those people, there is no dissent, or not even a lot of dissent, all the time.

We first did a Show HN ~1.5 years ago; this is a super major overhaul with active development since and close to 100 issue fixes.

Direct link to try it out - https://opensource.appbase.io/dejavu/.

* The biggest change today is the ability to import data into Elasticsearch directly via JSON and CSV files. Their is a guided process for setting the mappings correctly.

* Filtered views and query views.

* Ability to export filtered data as JSON / CSV, apparently other web UIs don't support this.

* There is also a docker image option to run it as Elasticsearch removed website plugins starting v5.0.

We originally wrote it in React v0.14.0 and have made it compatible with the React v15.6. There is an ongoing refactoring effort to translate all the code to use ES6 idioms.

Would like to hear what improvements can be made, I am not perfectly happy with how we are supporting mappings in the import process.
You also don't know what the other options were. Banning VPN apps is a better response than only allowing compromised VPN clients.
Back in the days I wrote my own crawler and layout analyzer to collect news articles for my research (cf. http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/webstemmer/ ). I thought in 2005 it was mostly acceptable as long as you don't hog their bandwidth, but today I feel it would be looked differently. It is kinda sad to see that the more and more part of the web is treated not public. It seems that everyone likes to build their wall.
Which is digital and a pain in the ass to manage compared to physical cash.
The Facebook newsfeed.
This actually depends on how rare the disease is. With a relatively high false positive rate and the disease being quite rare (given symptoms that arguably match), the false positives dominate the true positives anyways.

It does get worse if you run everything on a healthy patient though.. you definitely get back many false positives.
Seeing as the Vega 64 "starts at" $500 and I was able to pick up a 1080 TI for about $700 I don't see who the target audience is. If you are the part of the market that is willing to spend $500+ just for a new graphics card then you likely aren't going to get the subpar card just to save a few dollars.
It's only a clear stance for free expression because they haven't successfully negotiated their way back into China yet [1][2].

"But calling people "stupid" for pointing out that this association matters (when it obviously does) is just... "Google-y", I guess.
"

You have not given any reason the association actually matters here[1], nor engaged the argument on the merits
Instead, you did precisely what i said would happen - character assassination for no reason. You also assert i called people stupid, which is also clearly false, I instead expressed that the notion that tying people to their companies would do anything useful is stupid.

[[1] It doesn't. You can engage the arguments on the merits whether it had my name or anyone else's. In fact, you'll see i didn't even express an argument past "it sucks they can sell info", and that i didn't give a shit about the complaint itself because it suggests that it's okay to sell it to certain people, when i feel it's not okay to sell it to anyone. I haven't actually seen anyone cogently disagree with this, and it's 100000000% irrelevant to where i work.

Origin comment said they didn't want data to be sold to anyone. I interpreted that to be including Google (and their other comments back it up).

While I agree that because of Google's intimate symbiosis with internet, it's nice to have transparency from employees when they protect Google, I don't think the Original Comment was protecting Google.

They were arguing that instead of being upset that Google can now get your data, in addition to [$OTHERCORP, ...], privacy advocates should be upset that any corp is getting the data.
They occasionally do, and they call them Incident Reports.

For some reason many senior engineers cannot answer questions of this type. These types of questions are meant to see if someone can write programs in language X. They are also followed up with exploratory 'what if' questions that enable the interviewer to inspect the thought processes of the candidate. They are also used in behavioral interviews.

That said, well done, very impressive project!

To be fair, that's the case in Ruby and C as well, and probably other languages. It's because 0 coerces it into an octal.

I do most of my serious typesetting in LyX, so I haven't done much with TeXMaths, but I've used it a little bit. It seems pretty nice: you can have a custom preamble and custom packages (although you'll probably have to link the .sty files you need into the directory where the document lives).

I use to work in legislative affairs for the natural health industry. It's all one big scam. I try to explain it like this:

Company A sells natural remedies, etc.
Company B is a news organization which reports on natural health remedies, and also advertises for those companies, et.
Nonprofit C is a consumer watchdog organization that investigates and promotes natural health. They are supported by the natural health industry, and community.
Trade Association D is a group of natural health corporations that lobby the government, and fight bad press.

The trick is, A, B, C, and D are all working together, in collusion, with the same investors, same backers, and each supports the other. It's so pervasive it's astounding, and extremely difficult for consumers to see through to factual information.
Have no doubt this will be unpopular, but I think LinkedIn is right.

Most news sites publish to the world. But scraping a news site's content and monetizing it yourself is not ok. Legally, it violates intellectual property law. But laws aside, I assume most people would agree, if someone spent the time researching and writing an article, they should have the right to monetize it and nobody else.

In this case, IP law may not apply, but the concept is the same. I don't love LinkedIn myself. But they spent the time building a platform for collecting that info. I don't see why it should be OK for other people to scrape and monetize it.
See below.

It's their legal system, with all the caveat emptor of Roman law and none of the bona fides. It's a toxic combination. An American will cheat you like you never thought it possible, and when you complain they will admit they are crooks and say "I am a crook, it's your fault that you didn't do diligence on me."
Hah, what?

As much as I love competition, I can't see this ending any better than it did for Pandora. Its hard to make money by selling someone else's content, and Big Music seems content with leeching as much as they can from music providers, short of actually killing them.

Perhaps if they went with the Netflix model and signed artists themselves, but thats also extremely capital-intensive. Netflix is apparently 20B in debt [1]

You don't maximize profit by spending more than 15 minutes on each patient. That is how American medicine is reasoned. Time is money and medical mysteries are a waste of time.
Nutrition. Exercise. Stress management. I think these are mainstream health practices.

There are practitioners with other qualifications. Although I've met physios with some peculiar ideas that subsequently turned out to be have a very high proportion of adverse effects (e.g. spinal adjustments).

My message is consistent, I hope: try what you will, but never pretend to expertise, and steer clear of recommending or suggesting anything to anyone, because at that moment one becomes a snake-oil peddler and are risking harm to someone else. Recognise that even medical practitioners are taught not to treat themselves or family because you cannot, cannot be objective about it.

I do not express an opinion on your personal journey, except to say that despite not knowing you from Adam it's still gladdening to learn that you are feeling better.
GIFs use LZW compression, which is the part that was patented. I think the main problem is that the dithering necessary to make 256 colors look good introduces a lot of high-frequency noise, making the compression less effective.
It makes no sense for Apple to do anything but comply. Its only real options are to manipulate corrupt government officials (which is against US law) or leave and:

- There are plenty of competitors in China and its people will continue to be well served by them should Apple choose to leave.

- The people of China aren't going to benefit at all from any Apple departure.

- Apple is a publicly traded company; its duty is to its shareholders. 20% of Apple's Q2 17 revenue came from China: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Q2FY17DataSummary.pdf

So leaving is also not an option, an attempt to do so would be pointless and crater the stock so bad investors would revolt.

The article suggests a "public fight" but that seems incredibly naïve to me. China just doesn't work that way. The fight was lost when the GFW went up.
Having done a fair share of reverse engineering in my time, I think the reason is that it's boring. Sure, at first it's fun: it's all about constantly solving new puzzles. But eventually you realize you're in a maze of twisty passages, all different. The challenges are artificial and meaningless and will continue forever as long as pointless incompatibility is incentivized.

On the one hand, the people who can reverse engineer stuff got too good: either they got tired of it, or they're getting paid big bucks to do it professionally. On the other, (perhaps this is jaded) new programmers are just learning scripting/web technologies and never peel back the covers of how the system actually works.

Perhaps reverse engineering proprietary products should be a mandatory tour of duty for young programmers, like military service in some countries. :)
This situation underlines and ideological stance that we all take for granted but that actually went questioned in the past:

That business and human rights are perpendicular issues. Actually it all started from the idea that free market causes a freer society. I think it is now clear that this causality is not true, but now proponents of unregulated free markets changed their stance to "Meh, that's the way we have done for decades, let's just keep that way."

My stance is that a global free-market is a good objective and should be encouraged, that borders should gradually disappear. However, encouraging goods and capital flow through otherwise tight borders is not helping reach that goal.

My theory is that 4 important things cross borders: goods, money, people and information. All 4 must have the same level of freedom. Imbalances should be addressed. For instance, China does not easily let people and information flow in and out of its territory, yet it lets funds flow and even subsidizes goods going out of it (Which is why Shenzhen to LA shipping can be cheaper than SF to LA). We should link these issues together. Either by funding and helping people and information cross these borders or, if impossible, by taxing goods and funds.

Actually a country that prevents people going out of it but let money go in and goods go out is the opposite of what the theory of democratic capitalism is about. It is a setup that allows outsourcing slavery. Free market in that case is not a perpendicular issue to this, but the very cause of the problem.
