Remember, studies like this are not opinion pieces about whether or not it should be legal. It's a substance that it has been illegal to study for decades, it's unsurprising there may be previously unknown health risks and it's important to try and understand them.

That being said,

>Support for liberal marijuana use is partly due to claims that it is beneficial and possibly not harmful to health

This is extremely disingenuous. No, support for liberal marijuana use is mostly due to claims that it is less harmful than current legal drugs like alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, sugar (not that it is not harmful at all), that it has measurable and powerful medicinal uses, and that criminalization of it is the biggest US domestic-policy-based moral catastrophe in decades and has done horrific damage to entire cornerstones of American society (minority groups, the police, civil liberties, the legal system, public health) with the explicitly stated and accomplished goal of targeting political and racial groups.

>If marijuana use is implicated in cardiovascular diseases and deaths, then it rests on the health community and policy makers to protect the public.

No, this is disingenuous and extremely dangerous. If use is implicated in these diseases it rests on the health community and policy makers to educate the public about these risks so they may make informed choices, exactly as they do with alcohol and tobacco and caffeine and sugar and trans fats, and to insulate the public from dangers associated with others making these choices by preventing e.g. driving under the influence or secondary exposure.
There are some vendors who take it; the New Mexico Tea Company for instance—and I buy tea from them because it's good tea, not because they take Bitcoin (I usually use a credit card to check out anyway).

I have also used it to transfer money to friends, because being able to do that in-browser without involving Paypal seemed pretty great. I would like to get my family using it for this reason too, but most of them are not tech savvy enough to handle it (and some probably would have trouble with Coinbase's verification).

Even if it was under compression against the outside ring, if the teeth were smaller than those of the outside ring, a force could cause them to rattle.

That said, if the difference in tooth counts is big enough, and the number of engaged teeth is high enough, you might get engagement from the teeth at the edges of the engaged surface, even if the inner teeth are a bit out of spec. This would cause some odd wear profiles in the teeth over time, though.

1) I'm pretty baffled by "text message should be used only for time-sensitive communication." There's absolutely no "correct" way to use text messaging, I don't use them for time sensitive communication, I treat text messages the opposite way, I'll get to my text messages when I get to them. If you want my attention now, call. I am not alone in this considering half the time I send a text in the morning I don't get a response until the afternoon. I actually anticipate this since I [naïvely?] assume people are actually working while at work. For me, I'll check my notifications at work when I get up to go to the bathroom or get coffee.

2) [Almost?] all companies let you opt out of text message notifications and/or customize it, I've never seen a company that didn't. For example, for Verizon I just go into "Manage your communications and alerts" online and set it to "email" rather than "text." Phone companies set text by default only because they already have your phone number.

3) Assuming you don't have a dumb phone, this is a solved problem, just put your phone on "do not disturb" while you are working. You can set it to where priority numbers (like your spouse) still give you notifications for emergencies. You can even set "do not disturb" to automatically coincide with your calendar events and/or time of day.

With AT&T I actually connect my junction to a (provided) external battery, so if the power goes out, I can hook up my router/modem to a UPC and still have internet for three days. I don't know if this is the same with coaxial/comcast.
Oddly enough Microsoft is the only company I can see bucking this trend right now. The other big guys youve mentioned have essentially slumped down into their respective markets and drawn up battle lines, whereas MS really seems to be pushing into new territory. I wouldnt be surprised to see them come back into mobile with a Surface phone that gives Apple a run for their money.
>>> "Also a 1200 person study isn't really enough to draw any major conclusions from."

You can draw strong conclusions off of a smaller sample size.

This study is not conclusive, and the sensationalized headlines aren't helping.

I dunno about that. In my experience, their website is actually one of the better parts of the experience. It's really easy to skip weeks, change menus, set up a recycling pickup, etc. It works on mobile too and I've never really had any issues with the tech side of it. The only issues we've ever had are with the manual and/or delivery aspects of the service. Other than that, I really like it. It's pricey, but I'd rather put the money into meals that I enjoy where I feel like I'm also learning something and eating something I "made" and Blue Apron fits that bill for me.

I've worked for financial firms for 31 years. Almost all of that time, I've been a programmer on a trading desk sitting right next to traders. There is constant noise and shouting. I can tune out a lot. EXCEPT: TV noise, and idle chit chat like you'd have down at the pub. As long as people are focused on work, I can tune it whatever they say. Strange.

> and I'm an no where near the risk of my overweight family members

Yep. The "three-fold" thing sounds awful but I didn't see the actual risk factor in the article. If it's 0.000001% and rises to 0.000003% that's a three-fold increase. If you're getting lots of other positive effects and quality of life effects from use then it may well be worth the risk.

The point about facing the wall is interesting. I find it very difficult to concentrate if I'm not facing _away_ from a wall. Knowing that people can come up behind me as I'm working or taking a break makes me very uncomfortable, to the point that I can't really relax and get into the flow of my work. It just feels like I'm being constantly watched.

Verifying Quicksort
Same thing happened with my SO. She's not big into cooking but wanted to try her hand at one of the meals and she kept salting things like she would normally salt them. I told her to only salt to taste and she took issue with that. Once I showed her the how-to videos on the site, though, she saw exactly what I was saying and now she can actually cook pretty decently. :)
I think my reading comprehension is fine.

"...writing about a powerful or well-resourced person out of fear of a lawsuit — which some have called the Gawker Effect."

"This sends a message that there are wealthy Americans or their proxies willing to push back on a trend toward litigation over negative news stories driven by some of their peers. Venture capitalist Peter Thiel, for example, funded the lawsuit against Gawker;"

This article is clearly hinting that the Gawker lawsuit had a poor outcome, and fails to mention Gawker's actual liability in the case and why they lost a trial. They also mention that Gawker was just writing "news stories" twice and that is why they were sued. I stand by my original comment.
Calling it "blinding" might not be accurate but, if anything, using deception, the study showed that men were discriminated against, not women -- contrary to what the initial hypothesis suggested.

I have not read the paper. Does it attempt to segregate smokers vs. edible users?

It seems kind of a no-brainer that inhaling combustion products is going to stress your cardiovascular system, so I'd be interested to see if there's also something about the physiological effects of THC/CBD/whatever-else-is-soluble-in-butter that leads to hypertension as well.

edit:
The study controlled for those who had previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure. But it did not take other cardiovascular risk factors into account, including diet and exercise.

It also assumed that those who said they had used marijuana in 2005 continued to do so, and it assumed that users largely smoked their pot and didn't consume it in other ways, such as by eating marijuana-laced brownies.

Those caveats limit the study's validity, said Dr. Vinay Prasad, associate professor of medicine at Oregon Health & Science University and an expert on the design and results of medical studies.

"It does not prove that if you choose to use marijuana you are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease," Prasad said in an email. "I think the major limit of the study is that there may be unobserved differences between the people who used and admitted to using marijuana during the years of this study, and cardiovascular outcomes that the researchers did not adjust for. In fact, that is likely."

There's a similar story about the Audi S4 V8's exhaust note. The engineers wanted it to be louder than they thought their management would approve. So, what they did is demo a version that was louder than what they wanted, and when management complained they reduced it to what they wanted to begin with.
Im not an insider so I could be wrong, but I read about underperformance through news articles. Here's one i just read

> Since the beginning of 2012, Bridgewater’s Pure Alpha II has posted an annualized return of 2.5 percent, according to a document reviewed by Bloomberg Markets, a far cry from its historic average of 12 percent. It’s down 2.8 percent this year through July. (A smaller Bridgewater hedge fund, Pure Alpha Major Markets, has fared better, as has the company’s long-only product.)

> Even a hardcore fan is concerned about performance. “Their returns have been unspectacular recently, and it makes you wonder if this is the beginning of the end,” says Michael Rosen, chief investment officer of Angeles Investment Advisors, who’s steered clients to Bridgewater since the early 2000s and prizes its research reports over others in the industry. “There’s only been one market cycle since the financial crisis, and so if this performance continues in the next cycle, then there may be cause for concern.”

It does look like it's working now, although I see the speed shows as "B/MS". Shouldn't this be "BM/S"? The speed also seems to be useless as it says 336 B/MS but I only have ~1000 bookmarks and I've been sitting on the page for several minutes.
That is obviously not at all clear, given the multi-national debate around this issue.

Ask HN: P2P Syncing generic objects
Is there any FOSS project working on P2P syncing generic objects (i.e. not necessarily files).

Here's my problem. I love Syncthing which does P2P syncing of files. I would like find general tools that solve the same problem for other things. Example: my list of contacts which currently is shared by Google between my android and my gmail. How would I avoid google? One way is to have a contacts app and a contacts desktop app do something like Syncthing on the backend. But then a Syncthing-type backend would have to be integrated with each app that solves a different problem. That is, after I've solved contacts, we have calendar. Build another calendar app and a calendar desktop, each with an integrated Syncthing-type backend? Seems like a lot of redundancy.

The way I would imagine this is to have something that does the discovery and syncing of Syncthing, but for generic objects. So the contacts app would have to be programmed to be able to save not just to disk but also to this special backend, and same with the calendar app.

Not sure if I'm articulating these ideas well.
Oops, yeah. They haven't produced anything then :)
Probably the easiest answer. Not necessarily with the current car rental prices (it immediately adds $300-400 to the cost of a vacation), but overall a decent model.
> The results showed marijuana users had a 3.42-times higher risk of death from hypertension than non-users, and a 1.04 greater risk for each year of use. There was no link between marijuana use and dying from heart or cerebrovascular diseases such as strokes.

Probably also consider caution when taking some analgesics, like acetaminophen/paracetamol.
I would absolutely want my employer or insurance companies to offer this. If it could be linked to a teledoc service, that might be helpful as well--for example you enter all your information, you think it's probably something specific, like a UTI, and then you can connect with a doc telephonically who can send in a script for you. Boom! You don't even have to go to the doctor!! So much time and $$ saved in the system. Moral of the story--this is super cool and definitely needed.
You're right; that opening line was unduly harsh. My apologies.

It's unfortunate, however, that the creator of the video did not capture the output of curl -v, or perhaps even an strace. The logic presented in my first post is nonetheless what curl does, and should apply, so something else is going wrong here. I still think there's a wide difference between "in this particular case, something is causing the IPv6 address to hang" and "Localhost resolving to IPv6 basically breaks with Docker".

Maybe you misread or misunderstood Damore's letter.

[Damore] "I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership."

He did exactly what I said - he complained about the plight of conservatives at Google, and he suggested that women as a group are innately less capable technologists. That's not just fair, it is, without judgement, completely factually accurate.

I didn't claim these two things are contradictory, that's your own straw man. I claim that one of them is wrong, and that if you swap them, one of them is still wrong.

I'm a little surprised how many people are defending him. He's got no expertise in these matters at all. Why are you so sure this is a good argument overall? What makes you confident in his interpretation of modern psychology and social issues?

His letter is specious - it sounds good for a bunch of reasons, and he has many valid points, but it's wrong overall. Programmers love arguments that favor consistency, and they're convinced it's always and forever more fair, but that's very often not true in reality. If society were already fair and if cultural sexism didn't exist, then not being extra sensitive to women might be the right thing to do. But the prevalence of cultural sexism is a fact, it exists just like racism does. We have to actively get rid of it before we can be consistent. Because it's there, suggesting that it's more fair to pay less attention to it is actually rationalizing sexism. What you're arguing for indirectly is to keep our level of sexism at the status quo, rather than fix it before we treat everyone exactly the same. Treating everyone exactly the same right now assumes there's no problem right now, but there is a problem right now.

> Damore never argues against using groups to make big picture, strategic decision.

Then I think your beef is with @nailer's comment above mine, and you can argue that with him. He said "Additionally Damore argued for assessing individuals as individuals rather than as tribe members and assuming discrepancy is down to bias - even if you did sub someone's chosen politics for their gender, Damore's proposed fix would still require you to assess the individual."

You are contradicting what he said.
I was once given a "modified" MB test for a CTO position at $international_firm and had to show up at a "specialist consulting firm" to take the test (husband/wife team working from their living room) - They were nice people, we sort-of connected, and I asked them outright what profile the client was looking for. They happily shared, and said the test cannot be rigged, we designed it, it is bulletproof. I aced it, and a subsequent two tests where they asked me to fill for different personalities. Panic all-round.

I was offered the job, but declined - they put too much stock in this type of meaningless hocus-pocus, and barely asked me about my technical and organisational qualifications.
The value is that, for people who want a home cooked meal, it's extremely convenient to have all the grocery shopping and portioning done for you while still getting the feeling, however real it may be, that you're cooking and preparing your own food. I like knowing exactly what's in the meals that I prepare and it's worth it to me (and actually a bit of a time saver) to not have to go grocery shopping for every meal. It started off as taking a bit of time, but now that I've been cooking them regularly for a while I'm actually at the point where the time estimates are pretty accurate.
