There is a False Reject/Accept problem here.

If you believe your Amazon email, all glasses are fake (at least I've got email saying so for glasses I know are good).

If you want a quick way to weed out bad glasses, see if you can see a compact fluorescent light bulb, with the glasses... if you can, they are bad. Unfortunately, you could still have bad glasses that happen to just block fluorescents.

I used a spectrometer and a calibrated light source, but that seems like overkill for most folks.

One trick I recommend is putting the reflective foil inside some regular sun glasses. It's uch more comfortable, and you get some extra IR/UV protection.
what is the stack you use ? especially for the algorithm hotpath ?
I'm not sure if you are using libraries like Gurobi or CPLEX.
Hey do you have the time?
Ask HN: Do you read reactively or proactively?
With HN, RSS feeds, email subscriptions and all other sources of content I read and watch not what I actually need, but what these sources give me. YouTube and other recommendations add to that.

On the one hand, it expands my awareness. But on the other hand there's no point in adding anything else to my already giant ToRead/ToWatch list.

I don't know if it's a term, but I call it "Reactive Information Consumption": you consume what is given.

I see it's a procrastination issue, but sometimes it's not so easy to understand what's going on, because those sources are credible and "hey, I learn new stuff!" (though in most cases I don't).

And for me it goes even further, when I start reading something I really need, like docs of a tool I am going to use and then spend an enormous amount of time to read every available page on it so I can say "I understand this thing in detail!" (which is often far from truth anyway, but time's spent and no visible progress has been achieved).

The counterpart of this behavior is "Proactive Information Consumption": first you have a specific question, second you try to answer it ASAP. If you manage to answer the original question, you immediately stop. No aimless link hopping.

I've found a mention of "Proactive Reading" (http://academic.regis.edu/ed205/proactiveread.html), but not much on how to nurture this style of reading and how to prevent yourself from diving into info-devouring.

So I wonder, how do you balance between these two styles of consumption? Do you consciously control what and for how long you read?
I hope you dont end up in an emergency hospital with the only doctor who can help you refusing to do so because he doesnt like you for some reason.
What does the word revoke mean? I've read a dozen articles that simply say revoked. When I see the rules for registration, I see revoke along with terms like suspend and terminate.

Can they register it again, if they find a company willing to service them? If not, I'm not okay with this. I'm not seeing any answers out there. Maybe they use the word revoke differently?

It sounds like the quoted excerpt is saying: for occupations intensive in cognitive skill, both the number of people with non-cognitive skills entering the job and their relative salaries increased during the examined time period.
Security is like an onion - you should have plenty of layers. You are describing perimeter security, which is great to have. If an intruder bypasses perimeter security, intrusion detection systems are the next line of defense. They are expensive/tough to setup. So, internal security (SSL everywhere or Kerberos with TLS/SSL for comms between
services) is a straightforward way to provide an additional level of security.
Court documents are generally part of the public record and that's where the texts came from. Like it or not, that's the way it currently works.

Yup. Recently promised a colleague a pdf. I knew what I was looking for, who wrote it and and which site it was on (regional site of my employer). It even featured highly on google (showed up on related searches).

Zilch. Nada...couldn't find it anymore. Gone. Something I had easily chanced upon before I know couldn't find with directed searching. They must have restructured their site.

It's later than 96 but I don't know who is still paying for hosting for a stadium that was demolished over 16 years ago http://www.3riversstadium.com/index2.html
Just yesterday I was helping an uncle changing the Flash-based menu of his site about classic race cars to a newer one so it would actually show on phones. It was all .htm files that included the Flash menu every time, apparently he worked with some kind of 15-year old copy of Dreamweaver that would add it to the top of every page he created like a template.

I could have switched it to a PHP include but that would either break all existing links, take a bit of work to make .htm files execute PHP or to make them forward permanently to their PHP versions. Or I simply could do the only sane thing: loading menu.php on every page within an IFRAME and changing his 15 years old Dreamweaver template.

The internet has been saved! A bit at least!
And so the 60-year-old argument falls to a new generation.

I own 2 Strats and love them, and an Epi LP, which will sustain an open G for at least 5 minutes. Frankly, I lost patience or it might have gone for 10 minutes. And I've owned a few other body styles, e.g. SGs and ESs.

To me, the LP design has two areas for improvment -

1) A relief cut on the upper side to reduce chafing on strumming forearm a la Strat. This probably isn't as much a problem for pickers.

2) Strat-style input jack. Granted, the edge jack lacks the obnoxiousness of the "random hole" jack found on SGs and ESs. But for those who like to rock sitting down, having the cable hang off the edge of the guitar feels a bit funny.

That said, if you can afford it and have a chiro on speed dial, it's hard to beat a Gibbie. Our local chain store just dropped the price on their entry-level Gibson LP to 900 bucks. Must resist...can't resist...
Are you suggesting that ads can't appear in text articles? Or that ad blockers don't exist for graphical browsers?
Confiscating wealth is counter productive. But, so is a large group with unearned wealth where nobody they know actually earned anything.

IMO, the balance point is setting things up so the default is wealth is not maintained across several generations (3+), even though it can be passed down 1 or 2 generations and can be maintained with care past that point.

PS: I say this with many wealthy friends and family. It's surprisingly destructive and I don't want to setup multi generational wealth for my great grand children.
Reading the “(don’t ask)” line was probably the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. I instantly got an image of a person quietly embracing defeat after endlessly trying to convince their partner that there was a better way of doing a task.
My internship, in 2006, involved working on an IPTV prototype for Philips. I remember working on a multicast server and the set-top-box client -- the server had a DVB-T card, and rebroadcast all the BBC channels over the LAN. Since the stream was always there, changing channel was extremely fast. DVB broadcasts information packets regularly, containing the TV schedule and so on. These were also forwarded over IP, and then cached by the STB.

It was neat, but presumably most of the multicast stuff was abandoned not long after I left.

Someone else worked on a system to help the user schedule their TV around the broadcast times.
Having it be able to be self hosted would be a very distinct advantage to the current Show HN. Keep up the good work!
Watch your context on that quote. Exposing racial injustice and providing a platform for the promotion of racial injustice (among other things perpetrated by the Daily Stormer) are two very different things.

In any case, what are you suggesting? That owning a web domain is a right? That people should be forced by law to listen to and debate all available opinions regardless of how inane or evil? Please be specific, because right now your only argument is that people shouldn't be free to choose who they associate with on the grounds that the right was once abused regarding racial segregation. Then you make an out-of-context appeal to authority that doesn't really support anything beyond exposing injustice.

Refusing the daily stormer a web registration isn't covering up injustice, it's refusing to support it.
> To my knowledge, a registrar can't legally stop another registrar from taking over an arbitrary domain (they only have a say over domains delegated to them, and they have a contractual obligation to agree to a transfer of those if the domain owner requests it (potentially with exceptions of active lawsuits, but that doesn't seem relevant here)).

There is a specific rule allowing denial of outbound transfer to a third registrar within 60 days of inbound transfer to the second from the first. (I.A.3.7.6 of the ICANN Transfer Policy.)
That's not a counter, it's more selection bias. Nature is a good place for mushrooms to grow, but that doesn't mean it's easy to grow them yourself. Cannabis is a very successful plant but it still isn't as easy to grow in your home. You can go outside and find a fern almost anywhere in the world- they're one of the oldest, most successful, and most widespread plants, but they are a pain in the ass to grow yourself: http://articles.latimes.com/1991-10-27/realestate/re-649_1_m...
Would you say the same of convicted killers? How about rapists? Robbers? You know, they actually harmed people. Not like those evil "promoters of hate".

While we're at it, let's take your line of thinking to it's logical conclusion. If someone espouses, agrees with or promotes your currently-accepted definition of "hate", then we should not prosecute anyone that does harm to them, because it's an "indisputably good cause".
> And again, direct support - not "mating practices of birds" or "fetal hormone influence and autism" or other none sense.

You've already admitted that you are not qualified to judge what is accurate in this context, so why do you think you can now decide that some of the studies are nonsense? All of these studies support arguments she was making.

Ironically, I think you'll have much better luck looking at web design books from that era, instead of links on the web. I just pitched a bunch of my design books from that area, and they were full of "cutting edge" examples.
> Elyxel was designed and built with performance in mind. Styles and any additional flourishes were kept to a minimum. My choice of Elixir & Phoenix was driven by this consideration as well. Most of the pages are well under 100 kilobytes and load in less than 100 milliseconds5. I find it's always helpful to keep performance in the back of your mind when building something.

Thats much appreciated but I was kind of hoping you (the author) would go into more details about request time. Most people can (and should) do the above. However I would be more interested in what Elixer + CRUD is like particularly for TTFB. Like does the author do streaming (I don't necessarily mean websockets or comet)?

After all if the TTFB is really slow the CSS optimizations and what not matter little.

In traditional request per thread (or whatever is analagous) web framework paradigms the request is a single thread and often waits for the database to finish before moving on to display the page. I would imagine Elixir has a better answer at least for read only pages.
Another poster indicated it would take 60 days.

Yeah, if that's true, I'm not okay with this. I don't even like Nazis. I'm just not okay with property (albeit rented, s to speak) being taken without due process.

From my searching, I appear to not be alone in this sentiment. Hell, in the past, even the ACLU has defended the Nazis. So, I may still be in good company.
This was the reason why we initially started this project. This was back when the HDL-64E cost around $72k. It supports the LIDAR with 64 and 32 lasers, but it also has a generic mode where you can set an arbitrary configuration of lasers (albeit a bit crude)

But it is now also used by other researchers to create synthetic point clouds for deep learning.
The real underlining principle is a question: Should healthcare be the responsibility of an individual, or a collective responsibility of a group?

Without some agreement on this principle, we will continue to spin our wheels.
I've seen a couple of 'most mentioned' pass by in recent years, all seem to have a different algorithm & outcome of all the most mentioned books. If I compare yours to i.e. http://hackernewsbooks.com/ the top mentioned book is vastly different than the one on your site. I mean this is not a problem at all, just found this interesting.
Good response!

It is certainly good to consider this perspective, thanks for the insight and link.

To me it seems that potential negative consequences of continued rapid population growth in Africa aren't so nebulous and beyond the horizon, we are already seeing them materialize, certainly there are other problems that need to solved as well, like certain elements of society attempting to browbeat others into thinking these societal disruptions are normal or acceptable or shouldn't be guarded against, but the population growth outside Europe is one of the prime movers of the negative effects we have already observed.

If things continue as they are the only uncertainty is the degree to which European civilization and thus European civilization's contribution to the world is negatively effected.

I harbor no affinity for Malaria or human suffering in general, but by ham handedly addressing this patch of suffering are we pulling open a larger patch somewhere else?

So what's the best way to address the suffering caused by malaria with a little more finesse and awareness?

Is there even a direct provable causal link between mosquito nets and population growth?

As mentioned, we are discussing an immensely complex system with all the surprises and non-linearity that entails.

what, if any, are other causes of African population growth?

What should be the Hippocratic Oath for philanthropy?

It isn't that goofy, and it's a known issue in providing international aid. If I provide a country with agricultural issues a number of tractors, but then outsize repair, maintenance and consumable costs for operating the tractors while also ignoring the social issues associated with the donation, my donation of resources can cause downstream problems for the aid recipient which dwarf the benefit provided by the donation itself.

That said, without concrete examples of emergent issues, I err on the side of praising aid efforts rather than condemning them.
Something funny just happened. I clicked the link and the economist told me "you've reached your article limit".

Essa é uma questão lingüística, não matemática.

Em português há uma diferença diminuta de sentido entre "diferenciável" e "derivável" (na Análise Matemática mesmo), mas não recordo mais qual.

O inglês sendo o idioma mutante que é, talvez acabe absorvendo essa diferença de nomenclaturas dessa forma: derivable x differentiable.

Not just social skills: for example, intensity and stress tolerance. I think "emotional skills" would be a better way to describe what they're getting at.
It's sort of like a library, except that you have to pay to read any of the books.
Auth is genuinely hard, and a hand-rolled solution's definitely not enough...

Given the massive attack surface for a web application, it's absurd to think someone could (or should*) develop an entire auth framework from scratch for all their projects. Turnkey solutions, like Ruby's Devise, are a godsend. Even in situations were a custom flow was needed, it's saved both me and my clients hundreds of hours.

In addition, I benefit from the community around a turnkey solution. Think of all the years the software has been tested by in umpteen production environments. Think of all the people that have an eye on the code and report security flaws while you sleep. Your custom session management implementation will never have that benefit.

Also, why the hell are you building auth when you could be building app? Is that really such a critical experiential part of your app that you can't possibly rely on something turnkey and then move on to the features that actually matter?
Monopsony requires mutiple sellers (e.g. Walmart can buy potatoes from tens of thousands of farmers)

I fully understand how such a team might run out of money -- it's not an easy work after all, and takes time.

But honestly, for the last 10 or so years, I can't remember even ONE time that I've heard about "revolutionary new battery technology" and it arriving on the market soon after. Or ever.

Honestly, what happens to ALL those people? From genius 13-15 year old school students to established scientists -- did anyone try to contact them, say, one year later?

I am tempted to think that inventing a possible new revolutionary battery technology is closely correlated to suddenly teleporting far away from Earth.

(Not sorry for sarcasm)
> It doesn't matter whether people agree with it. It matters whether it's actually correct, and actually refers to real things.

This debate suggests that is not a safe assumption.

> There's no point

If it redirects money, there certainly is a point.
Ai. I searched a bit for you, as well in the original crawls but to no avail. Most likely there were very few inbound links to that site which meant it wasn't discovered before it got wiped. I was still archiving stuff long after Geocities had officially shut down, for weeks new stuff turned up. 4428 is there, the next one after that is 4460, I suspect that if it had been archived you'd have found it by now.

Have you checked Jason Scott's torrent of all things geocities as well?
Yeah they've been saying that for a while now. Who's wrong, Gates or the UN?

You're quite correct on the dogmatism, but I didn't mean 'Democrat' when I said 'Liberal'. I meant 'Liberal' in the old sense which is in a nutshell the politics of the upper middle class.

In my view Authoritarian is something in demand because of poor rulership. People sense that cracks are opening up in society and then they become more authoritarian because they sense that aggressive actions may be required to reverse the trend or prevent cracks from widening. If we have good rulers, we have reduced demand for it. We don't, the governing of Europe and the United States is shockingly bad in comparison to the past. That's not a reference to Trump, it's been a slow rot and it's been systemic. Thiel has been talking about this in his videos on Youtube, there is a basic decline in the ability of government to, putting it bluntly: get shit done.
Less rare than you might think. One of the Left for Dead games on the XBox (forget which and which) wouldn't display any LAN network connectivity unless a memory card was present.

No memory card inserted? No UI difference between "No Ethernet plugged into XBox" and "XBox connected correctly to LAN".

Insert memory card? Network magically appears.

(I may have almost taken a sledgehammer to the hardware after I stumbling across this issue while setting up a PAX game room. And no, the memory card is not used for LAN play.)
I disagree, I think the peer review functioned exactly as it was supposed to.

Her paper doesn't pass the sniff test for me whatsoever when it comes to security analysis. She spent close to no time analyzing the primitives she introduced (and with no proofs or rigor!), meanwhile the thing is 58 pages because she takes the time to explain what "determinism" and "seeds" are to her audience.

"Exposition" is, in my opinion, a fully valid reason to reject a paper. I'm not going to sit and read your 60 page paper that could have been compressed to 10 pages if you just got to the point and assumed your audience understood the field well enough to assess your results. Rewrite it and send it back without the assumption that your audience needs to be reminded of everything they'd need to learn just to properly assess your result. It's not as though they rejected the paper on empirical grounds without a meritocratic review; they rejected it because they have a finite amount of time and (speaking as someone in the field) it's sort of annoying to read after page 10.

I think academia frequently gets lost in the ivory tower and loses touch with what an accessible paper looks like; this is not an answer to that, it's a swing in the other direction, where papers with truly novel results will suddenly be hundreds of pages and tens of pages of setup.
> I wonder why she didn't write [two] versions.

Because the reviewers took over 10 months to respond with a rejection mainly citing the length of the paper. And more importantly, "By that point, everyone who might have wanted to read it had almost certainly found it here and done so, so I saw little merit in drastically shortening the paper."[1]

She has updated the blog post which discusses all the nuanced details of the whole affair last month (2017-07-25)[2].

Hey, @pc with all the spare time your team has accumulated by using this api model maybe you could put it to good use. Might I suggest it's time to divert most of your tech resources into creating the next Capture the Flag? Because those were just awesome!
