Don't forget the fact that carriers are now snooping your 4G data and selling it to advertisers. It has been a bad week for privacy.
It would be interesting to take multiple regimes and see if there are similarities between them.
Thanks, I didn't get from your previous comment that you were explaining that 'nether' was simply quoting a video game set in the future.

As for the historical figures, I guess Deus Ex is a failure for truth and accuracy in game journalism, that is, journalism performed by games ;)
Could you clarify what you mean by elitist/pedantic? I've found the Haskell community to be fairly friendly, and very open to beginners (including when they ask basic questions).

I've mostly been on /r/haskell and Quora, and watched talks by Haskellers though, so maybe the community is different on other platforms.

Great article, covers a lot of ground.

The rescheduling benefits may apply to the UK, but aren't particularly important to work on for the US.

In the US, access to research funding is a far larger issue than scheduling. The main benefit of rescheduling would likely be through its indirect benefits on access to funding, possibly from government agencies like the NIMH.

Also, both psilocybin and MDMA are in or beginning FDA Phase 3 trials, for likely approval ~2023 and 2021 respectively, after which they will be automatically rescheduled. So if you're in the US and you want to contribute to rescheduling, the way to do it is to fund the Phase 3 research via Heffter and MAPS. (It's possible that psilocybin and MDMA will be rescheduled, but that magic mushrooms and ecstasy will remain schedule I, but I don't think that's particularly worse based on my understanding.)

Source: I’ve talked with multiple researchers who are studying psychedelics.

Also, I recommend reading or listening to the book Acid Test if anyone here would like to learn more.
CIELAB gives nicer looking gradient with clear colors without brown or gray tones, while keeping the luminosity more or less the same.
It doesn't if you bought via Amazon. I tried the page.

It just shows an error and displays:

> Please contact the team or individual within your organization that issued your current YubiKey.

I contacted Yubico support, and they said this is expected, and I'll have to contact the reseller that sold the key on Amazon.

To quote:

> Thank you for contacting Yubico Support. That was bought through MTRIX GmbH, one of our resellers. They are responsible for replacement of all devices bought through them as part of the reseller agreement. You will need to contact them for the replacement process.
I have been trying to keep track of some of the cryptocurrency idiocy on HN, but no one seems to care/get it: reddit.com/r/BoHN/
Since beginning of this year I almost exclusively drive cars with some kind of front facing radar for AEB/ACC. On one hand there were situations where imminent collision warnings or even AEB were useful, on the other the amount of false positives for collision warning is annoying and in some cases actually dangerously distracting.

And for some reason the minimal front distance for WV's ACC is almost an order of magnitude larger than safe braking distance, so other drivers see no issue with changing lanes into that large free space in front of you.

So in all, this technology obviously requires some work both in terms of reliability and in terms of UX.
I think you underestimate the highly tuned addictive properties of their service, interface and brand... I'm not saying it's net positive whether ad-supported or not, but I believe it would be very difficult for another player to come in and beat Facebook at their dopamine inducing game now whether they charged for it or not at this point. The extent of analytics (how people interact with their website and mobile services) across the population that they have access to is borderline scary. When you consider how much money King Digital made/makes with a stupid polished match 3 mechanic by making incremental psychology driven UI/UX game design decisions...
No affiliation with this, but I use Fileee for a few weeks now and thought it maybe to be interesting for you too.
On a related note:

It is absolutely shocking to me that research into psychedelics isn't swamped with funding. I'd imagine that some wealthy people must find this stuff extremely intriguing - Yuri Milner is spending $100 million on space exploration, and a psilocybin phase 3 research trial needs ~$10 million and finds it really hard to raise money?

Psychedelics have extremely high therapeutic potential, and are also just interesting in a similar same way as space exploration is interesting.

And as diogenescynic noted elsewhere, it's even more shocking that we as a society put up with it.
Anyone know if there's anything like this for R? Or is colorRamp in CIElab good enough?
I can speak more towards avalanches than I can with rapids. It might be tangential to this discussion, but I can't help but chime in on the subject when I get the chance. I've thankfully never been buried in a slide, but it's one of those topics that all non-suicidal backcountry skiers spend a lot of time studying. The community is extremely focused on education and outreach, because those are the only tools that will give people the knowledge and skills needed for informed decision-making when they're in the backcountry. You do everything in your power to avoid being in a position to trigger a slide in the first place. Even if it means foregoing your planned lines for more conservative terrain, going home when you see the terrain and snowpack, or not going out at all if the forecasted danger level is high.

Self-rescue is really, really rare unless you've been incredibly lucky enough to float towards the top of a shallow deposition zone in a small slide. Or you've been deposited on top. Even in a relatively shallow burial, 10-12" inches (or even less) means you're entombed in what might as well be concrete. If you're lucky, you'll be able to at least push away a cavity to breathe into while you wait for the rest of your group to dig you out before you asphyxiate. There's equipment that can help you improve your chances (airbag, AvaLung) beyond just the beacon, but they're not guarantees. If it's in your mouth and it isn't knocked out, an AvaLung might help you extend your air supply. An ABS airbag system will hopefully help you float closer to the top during the slide. It won't help you if you slam into a tree or other debris and break your back.

Whether it's in the snow, or in the water, mother nature is an uncaring mistress who demands respect. Even when you do everything right, she can still kill you. If there's one good thing about hearing these stories, terrifying and tragic as they often may be, it's that they can drive home that point. The outdoors are, more often than not, a continual exercise in risk management. We put up with it because there's nothing quite as breathtaking as seeing the sun peak over a snow-covered horizon from atop the mountain. Or as exhilarating as the ride down.
Just got one from Joybird. The swatch samples are a big plus. It definitely creates some anxiety not knowing how things will actually play out though.
In really like the way they use an whole community around DO!
Yeah, I wish my insurance had called me :(

I can easily afford the $500 and I'm really grateful for that, but I feel like I was taken advantage of.

How much did you pay in the end for Stanford ER?
Haskell Type Classes are brilliant. But I would recommend a strict evaluation language like ML (and modules with signatures) for Semester #1 and lazy Haskell for Semester #2. Anyone could cover a ton of useful contextual material taking just a little more time.
Yes.

Most of the time if a recruiter does not come to me with a job in mind, it does not work out. I have had lunches with a lot of recruiters who just want to network and none of them have come back to me with an opportunity. The times working with a recruiter has worked, the recruiter had a job already setup, found me online or through my network, and made the connection that way.
> As mentioned above, citation needed. You're bandying around a lot of statements without any links or stats to back it up.

Citation for what? I'm explaining the context of the subsidies that the parent commenter mentioned (themselves without citation). Of the 49 comments on this thread at the moment, there's only one other that includes any links at all, neither of which I'd really qualify as citations of factual information.

This is part of a broader pattern I see on Hacker News when the topic of health care comes up, where comments that present anecdotal information or reasoning that fits into the narrative of the article are accepted without evidence, but those which provide mitigating contextual information are held to standards which are comically high for an Internet comment.

Even in this case, we're talking about the correction I provided to information that OP mentioned without citation. The information about the critical access program is easily verifiable on Google (or even Wikipedia), so I'd hope that OP would feel comfortable verifying it (and providing a citation) before commenting with the misinformation.
Correlations between the measured wind speeds and damage done by that storm, and another in 1999, have been used to estimate the intensity of the Great Storm of 1703 as a category 2 extra-tropical hurricane.

Many years ago a company kept waking me up in the middle of the night with repeated attempts to deliver junk faxes to my home number. That inspired me to figure out how to use some fax software with my faxmodem (see, many years ago) to capture one of them. They became keen on getting me off their list when I asked for damages under the junk fax law.
Tesla has back peddled on so many deadlines and claims without killing themselves yet, so we'll see.
Two thoughts:

1. Why don't people pay attention to break lights? It's hard for me to relate to people who are always stopping last minute.

2. When someone is driving aggressively or erratically behind me, I break-check them as often as a I feel I need. Won't solve all rear-end issues, but it improves your chances of avoiding accidents.
This looks absolutely fantastic! Does anyone else feel like Show HNs with straightforward, by-the-order pricing is always based on declining technology (Fax; SMS; Printing in the case of Bingo Card Creator)? I guess it has to do with the customer base?
I... believe so? Speaking from experience with older models: You can hold a combination of the keys to go into https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/DFU_Mode, and if you plug the device to your computer, you can reflash the OS. The phone would have multiple partitions, so it would only flash the OS partition with the new version of the OS, and leave the (encrypted) data partition alone.
Are there some examples of Auto-Tune used with more subtle settings? Famous Cher song used it at setting 0, robotic sounding one, but there are 10 more to go, and they are increasingly more subtle.

Also related to this, at least I think, is the issue of turning recording into midi or sheet music. Now that would be a killer app... There is some good software out there, such as Melodyne, but it requires a lot of manual work and tweaking.
You're a true believer and I respect that, but I think Bitcoin has many serious downsides that will only get worse the more value is stored there.

It has been demonstrated to be preposterously easy to steal.
The privacy angle is a double-edged sword, and won't appeal to many people anyway.

I would argue Bitcoin (and blockchain in general) is the Linux of currency. It may have a major impact on the backend (lots of things may be built on blockchain one day). But to regular people, not true believers, the interest level will be extremely minimal.

You sound like Richard Stallman, a man I admire but think lacks perspective.

No stats, because they would include highway, which will show Latin America and West Africa having much, much, much worse stats.

Certainly not scientific, though other people I know that have driven the world agree, driving "freestlye" is safer than following the rules.
> designed was to produce the largest supply of Bitcoins

No; he simply designed for a fixed total amount of bitcoins, namely 21 million.

> Half of the supply was produced this way in the first few months.

No; half the supply is produced in 4 years. Then the next 4 years halves that again. And so on every 4 years.

This is fucked up (and not the only part of Yubico's process I'm not OK with). They manufactured and sold security tokens that generate factorable RSA keys. They shouldn't be fucking around.

Actually, I’d argue that it is, but maybe my definition of “vision” is overly pedantic.

> you agree too far to many contracts by starting to use such a device, that just navigating the initial waters to find a path to sue anyone is a complete non-starter

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also covers unfair terms in sales contracts (and at least in Scotland EULAs are part of the sales contract, per Beta Computers (Europe) Ltd v Adobe Systems (Europe) Ltd; I don't know the status elsewhere in the UK), and it's quite likely you could just go through most of the possible contractual outs and argue they are unfair terms.
That is a good point, if the majority of the code is living in Fortran then there is definitely some value in understanding large legacy Fortran code bases.
Sorry for the confusion.

I meant the lightning connector (ie. the one being used on iPhones).
That resulting color space isn't perceptually uniform anymore.

LCH is a hue-based version of LAB, which is perceptually uniform (when changing one dimension at a time) and easy to read, but unfortunately the gamut of what's displayable on a screen when viewed in this space is weird and hard to work with programatically. Specifically the higher C values are only available for the upper middle L values, and are hue dependent.

You could "fix" this by stretching any one of the values to fit in gamut - pick two and use a percent of the max in-gamut value for the third. It looks like this space is LH+C%. But that makes the chroma (saturation) no longer uniform. You could also do HC+L%, which makes luminence (brightness) no longer uniform, and would do a weird thing where L=0 is only black when C=0. You could also do LC+H% which would have weird discontinuities in hue and be generally funky.
Ask HN: What books or resources do you recommend to a new Product Manager?
Hi! I'm a college Junior and I just received an offer for a Product Management internship at a big company this summer.

I'd like to do the best job possible :) what are some books, resources, or advice you would give to a new PM?

Thanks in advance!
I haven't used DO compute for a while, but I recently started using Spaces for a personal file host and it works great. S3 w/1TB free outbound per month is fantastic.
Here's the exact message, and my Yubikey: https://i.imgur.com/FVINcQB.jpg and the response from support: https://i.imgur.com/it8zxgp.png

Now I'm stuck with a Yubikey that's insecure, and replacement will take ages to get through.
The greatest productivity boost was to get rid of internet altogether at home (say goodbye to Comcast) and work only at the office. Also, I downgraded my phone service plan and switched to 1 GB limit/month on the data plan. I also recommend getting rid of cable TV.

I became more efficient at work, with clear goal in mind that I had to finish my daily work in order to meet my hard-set deadline of 6pm. I was able to really focus and concentrate with greater intensity, since I couldn't do more work at home.

There were also other unintended benefits.

Not having internet at home allowed my mind to be free from "distractions" at home. At home, my mind was still engaged in the work-related stuff. In order to switch gears and to unwind, I was spending time on Youtube and mindless entertainment, but more often, I was vegging out and becoming an internet couch-potato.

Now, I tend to spend more time with the family, and I am able to focus on people and not technology. I am free from the burden of FOMO. I am thinking more clearly and creatively. I have more time for hobbies and side projects. If I really needed to Google something , I'd use my phone for quick search (again, being limited to 1GB limit so I didn't get side-tracked). I can't procrastinate by going on the net and getting lost in endless research.

And since I couldn't be online while at home, I was unconsciously building good habits. I am reading more books (and buying more paper-based books instead of e-books/Kindle books). I am writing more, journaling more, and getting more exercises and working out. I'm also sleeping better and no longer have insomnia, probably due to limited screen time in the evening.

I also became more selective of the type of entertainment, preferring quality over quantity, and elminating my binge-watching. Instead, I watch movies on Bluray/DVD and is a much better viewing experience. I recommend Netflix (snail mail service, not the online version).

During weekends, I have an excuse to go to a local coffee shop with good coffee and fast internet connection. For dealing with urgent issues that come up during off-hours, I can use my pre-paid LTE hotspot (Karma).

I also use my phone less, and now I use it mostly for maps, weather, and email.

If cutting the cord is not an option, an alternative is to set the parental control on the wifi router and use time restriction to block internet during evening and on weekends.

Also having good set of tools AND having mastery over them are important, but that's another topic.
I think about this sometimes. Ground, I have no answer, you seem like you will die. Perhaps landing legs first allows you to use those as a crumple zone.

Water, though, isn't the pencil dive the clear winner? Everything else would decelerate you so much faster that it would be bound to cause injuries. The only downside (relative to all other methods of impact) I can imagine is how far underwater you might end up.

I would be happy for someone to tell me otherwise, but this is my completely theoretical summation of a terminal velocity water-landing.
US LNG is about 20% more expensive than the typical European gas price. With US domestic prices closer to $3, versus $5 in Europe, the US will be able to further narrow that gap with scale and more terminals (on both sides of the transaction). Then you factor in the willingness of Europeans to pay a small mark-up to not be so dependent on Russian energy supply.

(from August)

"Currently, the US gas price is about $2.85 per MMBTU, a measure of energy content in fuel. This rises above $6 after factoring all the associated fees for shipping, liquefication and gasification, according to Gazprom estimates. This compares with about $5 per MMBTU in much of the European market, where Gazprom accounts for about a third of supply."

Ask HN: Who has turned a side project to full time gig? And at what revenue?
Side projects seem to remain side projects as long as they don’t make a lot of money. But I think just asking about side project is not really useful if you really want to know what’s the chance that a side project could find something bigger.

I’m curious to know who here has had a side project transitioned to a full-time business, and at what revenue numbers, if you’re willing to share, the transition occurred.
Yeah, that's the problem, that's some crappy data - it's a whole bunch of correlation, and not a lot of causation. I want to see some actual data that suggests that the cause was the ACA, not a recovering economy post-massive recession.

That article uses two crazy misleading graphs: One starting in 2010 (right after the recession, when personal bankruptcy had just peaked) and one starting in 2006 (right after the passage of BAPCPA). There was a massive dip in personal bankruptcies in 2006 (2.1m filed in 2005 because of people rushing to file in 2005 before BAPCPA, 600k filed in 2006) and a massive spike in bankruptcies during the recession (peaking at 1.6m in 2010).

Using those data as bounds, then suggesting that the ACA and not bankruptcy legislation or the prevailing economic winds are the cause is statistical malpractice.
I don't think that is correct in this instance. The example comes from this same author a previous time here: https://www.vox.com/2016/10/4/13160624/medical-bills-birth-d... . Here is a quote from an uninvolved pediatric nurse on where the charge comes from: "doing 'skin to skin' in the operating room requires an additional staff member to be present just to watch the baby. We used to take all babies to the nursery once the NICU team made sure everything was okay. "Skin to skin" in the OR is a relatively new thing and requires a second Labor and Delivery RN to come in to the OR and make sure the baby is safe." I think the charge is justifiable, but keep in mind no one is telling the new parents "Do you want to hold your new baby right now? It'll be $40." They are just offering and allowing people to accept not knowing they'll be charged.
Also http://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/partial-results/fetch-next... for the actual keyset paging (aka the seek method) technique. Which gives a better explanation than the OP's article IMO.
You can make up your mind of what kind of person she was by reading her blog:

https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/

She was hated by many, both because she was very biased (think more Breitbart than Fox News) and also because she had no reservations about punching below the belt. It is hard to write this without sounding biased, but I never thought of her as a good person nor as a good journalist.

The perpetrator could be anyone, but personally I do not think it was politically motivated since she supported a faction of the opposition that is currently, completely in shambles and she was therefore no threat to anyone. Moreover, most of the Maltese population did not respect her as a journalist because of her overt bias. All the people jumping to conclusions are just doing a disservice to her by possibly misleading the investigations.

There is also no reason to believe that she was killed by some "international bankers" or some such conspiracy theories. Her "investigative journalism" was limited to attacking the PL, one of our two main political parties. She never really ventured past that.

I will not speculate further.
