My vice is cookies. Cookies in house, I eat entire bag. Do not buy, I do not rush out to the grocery store at 11pm to buy. The high is low enough that the extra work is not worth it. So by setting that barrier high enough, it stops me from eating cookies, and I lose weight.

I have, and depending on how you do it I could either be ahead or behind.

If I would have "invested" only the $120 that I've spent on equipment so far, i'd be significantly worse off than I am with mining. (Remember, I started this process with a handful of older/unused GPUs, so the only stuff I bought was an extra PSU, some risers, and a few odds and ends here and there).

If I factor in the selling of the unused GPUs that I had laying around that I'm using for mining, I'd still be at a bit less than I am now (assuming I got the "market rate" and sold them at a good time). Realistically I wouldn't have sold them, since I didn't already and had some of them for a few years. They would have just collected dust in my closet like they were.

If I "pretend" that I invested as much as I'm spending in electricity each month into bitcoin and sold it off in a manner similar to how I get paid mining (in other words, "buy in" a few $ per day, selling all of that back at the end of the month), i'd be slightly better off, but that's only because bitcoin went from $2700 to like $4000 in a few freakin days!

I didn't know that, thanks for pointing out.

I like Yarn run, because if I'm running a lint or tests, it errors out with error messages related to the specific process.

If you run via npm run, it would throw lot of extra error messages, making excuses that it wasn't NPM's fault the command exited with a non-zero status etc.; and hiding the relevant error messages.

And as always, you can just run a script as yarn script, instead of yarn run script; like yarn lint:src, instead of yarn run lint:src.

NPM does it only for a few common ones.

Also, Yarn run picks up right node version from .nvmrc - you don't have to run an nvm use and switch to it.

> just filing amicus briefs, which is almost never considered newsworthy

While the title is rather misleading and I'd encourage the mods to change it, it's quite common for amicus briefs by groups (or, occasionally, individuals, though most relevant briefs are written by companies) known to HN to be on the front page. When the EFF or ACLU files amicus briefs on topics like the TPP or privacy-related cases, they commonly hit the top 10.

Binding arbitration is a common topic on HN, so it makes perfect sense to me that an amicus brief on a SCOTUS case about binding arbitration would be newsworthy.
>"The most important thing to remember about technical writing is that the goal is not necessarily to be understood, but rather to avoid misunderstanding.

That quote is fantastic. Having worked as a Technical Writer, the problem I most often run into is what I term the "forest for the trees" issue. Oftentimes, I work or did work with engineers who knew a language, framework or low-level system inside and out. Sometimes they even spent their entire adult lives learning it. When it came time to communicate the essentials of said technology or language, it was almost like they froze, unable to go back to basics or build concepts from the ground up. If it wasn't high-level or advanced, they stumbled.

I was often brought into situations like these with little knowledge of what I might be asked to write about. I was usually given the option of starting a project by interviewing engineers, but often delayed that and did a bit of my own research first. Once I had the most basic of concepts and understanding locked down, I would guide the engineer toward those areas, and have them start remembering their earliest introduction to whatever their area of expertise was. I found that was oftentimes the best way to avoid being misunderstood — not for me to understand everything 100 percent, but to get those who did to break things down into the simplest terms and build things up.
I was aware of the promotion feature. I was creating new clones/snapshots in a chain hierarchy in zfs, copying old backup sets progressively onto the back of the chain, but keeping the head as the current copy. This was a breeze in btrfs, but basically impossible in zfs as it refused to promote the old clones/snapshots.

As to the nomenclature, it doesn't seem to make sense to differentiate snapshots and clones. With the flexibility of btrfs they're just the same thing with a R/O flag.

There really isn't such a thing as "the value people generate" beyond one-person businesses. As a simplified example, a business that sells software has two components: building software and selling software. The value of building software that isn't sold is zero. The value of selling software that isn't ever built is zero. But the business of doing both has value; the sum is greater than the pieces. So how do you allocate the surplus of cooperation? I don't think there's a fundamental theory that can explain one correct way of doing this. In real life, you allocate it by negotiation. It's not right, or wrong, it just is.

Except self driving cars are paying full attention all the time and can react significantly faster. This causes the difference in stopping distance to be dramatic. Remember, humans are basically going to do the same thing for the first 0.25 seconds in any emergency situation and that's the best case.

So, self driving cars can simply be very cautious without seeming to.

I own the ATH-M50X and also the Bose QC25, however -- I stick to the Audio Technica ATH-ANC23 or the TaoTronics TT‑EP01 (both noise cancelling earphones) for my daily driver for commute.

I think the biggest question for choosing a daily driver headphone is whether you want to use a headphone vs. in-ear earphone. For my daily commute, I prefer earphones because they are less bulky, they don't warm-up my ear during the summer time, and I can easily take it off and put it in my pocket. For headphones, taking them off and storing them in my bag is so bulky that it is so damn annoying.

For long trips like air plane rides or bus rides or for in the office usage, I prefer headphones.

For at-home only listening, I use Grade SR80e, this is an open headphone and it is not great for commuting but awesome for listening at home.
One of the challenges I often find is in licensing/copyright. Some Creative Commons attribution requirements can be a pain, for instance, rather than something that's simply MIT like my code. I don't mind a license file in a repository, but anything that says I have to include a credit line somewhere in the end product is off-putting. Some places offer free icons, but if you modify it... say, by changing the color of the icon or converting it's format, you may be violating their terms.

So I'm always up for a clearly-defined set of MIT-licensed icons.
If things really are so dire in...33 years, then it won't be Facebook or Google's fault, it'll be the fault of hundreds of thousands of hackers who had the technology available and did nothing because everyone knows those two are unbeatable, despite the fact that the tech gets cheaper and more accessible every single day.

We've got a long way to go. They're not unbeatable. They're massive goliaths, yes, but they also bloated and slow to adapt, can't focus on any one thing, and don't have consumer loyalty. They can be beaten. Not saying they will, but they can.

Side note, Halt and Catch Fire, which has always tried to be technically accurate starts focusing a lot on the early web in season 3 and 4. CERN, NeXTcubes, and related all make an appearance. It's a fun watch if you are interested in that stuff. The pilot starts with them reverse engineering an IBM PC.

I found out in a pretty horrible way this year that I was a 'silent celiac' - symptomless gluten intolerance. I broke my leg whilst simply doing a hand-stand (spiral fracture of femur)! All the doctors were confused at how it happened and in the end it was only because I pushed for a blood test that I found out I had Celiac disease and this had meant my body was not absorbing nutrients and so had been taking calcium and vitamin D from the bone stores, making them really weak.
My family has generally been very healthy (grandparents living past 100) and I am convinced this is down to chemicals in bread or changes in the wheat itself via G.M. An recent study from University of Sheffield suggests that for every diagnosed celiac, 8 others go undiagnosed.
I'd advise anyone out there to get a blood test, as this would have saved me a few broken arms and this horrible experience of a broken leg and now having a semi-titanium leg after surgery..!

If I know anything about the future, it doesn't look like the present.

The web won't look like it does now in 2050, and neither will the internet.

But it might very well be built on webassembly on browsing engines cum operating systems on top of hypervisors on top of verified microkernels, and the web will probably be delivered on top of HTTP/2 on top of TCP/UDP and so on. The layers probably won't change that much.
The details are available on the Purism[0] site. I really like that they are adding physical switches to control the microphone, camera, baseband, and bluetooth. And that they are giving a lot of thought to separating the baseband procecessor from the cpu. And that it will be an ip-based phone handset, which means I can use a regular linux os that respects my freedom. I'll have to learn more about PureOS!

I support the whole idea, but I think it's premature.

The Riot app in my experience has a pretty unwelcoming UI/UX experience and is still insanely buggy. Things like Jitsi integration, widgets and a phone partnership should be after a solid, stable 1.0 MVP IMHO. Encryption is still opt-in and beta.

So super supportive of the environment, the momentum and a native matrix phone partnership is the right move eventually, but please get it stable, fast and polished first before branching out too far.

How to show data from Google Spreadsheet in a Wordpress site
I was thinking the same thing. I tend to see several people always mention they prefer smaller screens. I wonder how receptive people would be to a thicker phone versus a larger screen? The thinking here being people want larger batteries in their phones. I was thinking about this, this weekend, when one of my aunts was visiting. She owns some lower-end android trac phone. It has a much smaller screen than my 6P, and I am not sure how easy it would be to switch back. I mean it would fit nicely in my hand, but I've also gotten used to the amount of information displayed on my larger screen.

P.S. Sorry if this post is a bit of a ramble I'm still waking up.
Conspiracy theories and conspiracies are separate things when people are discussing them like this.

Someone claiming the moon landing is a hoax, conspiracy theory.

Someone saying that Jack, Jim, and Bob conspired to rob a bank (perhaps without real evidence), is also technically a conspiracy theory, but it's more easily verified or dismissed. And depending on the people, may or may not be as outlandish as claiming that Kubrick filmed the Lunar Landing on a sound stage.
Really late to this discussion but wow. Having worked as a web developer/tech writer and editor, this writeup pushed all my buttons. High-level concepts broken down in an exciting way. Nothing turns me off quite as much as clicking on a tech blog post and suddenly feeling like I am reading a whitepaper or portion of someone's Ph.D. dissertation. This is the kind of post I love — stripping things down to the nuts and bolts but keeping me engaged in a way that gives me that excited feeling in the pit of my stomach like I am watching something important take shape.

> Dell hopes that his tables will be used in workplaces for city planning as well as arcades.

As someone with a background in urban planning, these kinds of statements always convince me that nobody knows what urban planning entails.

Funny enough, at community meetings, many planners like to avoid realistic renderings of changes. For example if you want to give people an idea of what sort of size buildings could have under a proposed upzone, you don't want them fixated on the color of the brick facade in the rendering.

I can't really imagine a holographic display helping planning in any real sense beyond getting school kids excited.

I'm surprised you think that the funding target seems high. I personally believe their funding target is in the range of 10-20x too small to actually make a smart phone, especially when they plan to make all their own software and not simply reuse Android/Sailfish/Ubuntu as a starting point.

I expect that just the certifications for the radios, both for various countries/government agencies and various phone carriers, to cost them many hundreds of thousands of dollars. And that cost has nothing to do with actually designing any of the hardware or software.

I'm wondering why you say that? Wouldn't the more relevant factor be the type of miles, regardless of whether they are simulated or real? For example, 1 mile of simulated "Interesting Scenarios" (Duck on Street, Bicyclist going wrong way, pedestrian running onto road) is likely worth 100,000 miles of normal Freeway driving.
