I don't think nettles have opiate-like molecules. (Would probably be counter productive - less pain, poorer defense mechanism)

Nettles have serotonin, histamine, and acetylcholine. Serotonin could benefit certain mood disorders, and acetylcholine supplementation can reduce certain kinds of headaches.

As with all natural foods/medicines, I think you'd typically see only minor benefits over long-term supplementation. Much less powerful than modern medicine, but perhaps fewer side effects when taken properly.

You're right to be skeptical though, lots of snake-oil salesmen in the natural food space making dubious claims. Blueberries are probably much healthier for you than eating Cheetos, but probably not that different from other berries. I appreciate scientists studying which species have the most nutrition, but variance in freshness and growing conditions are probably the biggest factors in nutritional density. ex. fresh raspberry are probably better than old poorly grown blueberries.
As I understand it the vector is mice, not deer. There's a correlation between mouse populations where the juveniles feed and Lyme disease outbreaks 2 years later when the adults latch onto humans.

I think the right way to go about this would be to find the "liberal errors". There are plenty of well-financed conservative organizations that could do that work.
I interviewed somewhere recently, it went well, we talked about current technology, talked about the projects I'm working on now, and then they sent me an email asking me to do a project that would take me two days. I have a two year old and a job I'm perfectly happy with right now, I'm not going to spend my precious weekend hours writing code for free (unless maybe it was open source or something like that).
It depends on the universities. Yeah for most public universities, the grad students are directly funded by the professor's research. In many other universities, grad students are funded through the department, as in they are guaranteed a salary; the salary would come from the professor (or other fellowships the student got themselves) if they a research assistant, and it would come from the university if they are a teaching assistant. They are guaranteed funding because if the student doesn't get research funding, then the department sticks them in a TA position so that they get a salary.

No, that ruling by the Court is not an error, it just has different interpretation of the Commerce Clause than yours. Even if you don't necessarily agree with their interpretation (and I'm not sure I do, but they make a compelling argument) it wasn't factual error. It's extremely disingenuous to claim it was. That case entirely is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

>The Supreme Court interpreted the Constitution's Commerce Clause under Article 1 Section 8, which permits the United States Congress "to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes." The Court decided that Filburn's wheat-growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for animal feed on the open market, which is traded nationally (interstate), and is therefore within the scope of the Commerce Clause. Although Filburn's relatively small amount of production of more wheat than he was allotted would not affect interstate commerce itself, the cumulative actions of thousands of other farmers just like Filburn would certainly become substantial. Therefore, according to the court, Filburn's production could be regulated by the federal government.
I probably won't get around to doing this.

But someone else is very welcome to do so :)
No one said they didn't:)

Not a big deal most people don't understand that industry. The point I was going for is that CTA's, more than anyone else, love good momentum stories as they are the original trend followers.
I guess to clarify, I'm referring to the many, many small towns and similar areas with small cafes and restaurants that have a low cost of living and can provide high quality $10 meals as compared to large chains that run similar pricing and populate areas such as big cities with higher cost of living.
> Uhh, that's like saying a CPU is not sold if intel includes it in a computer that was sold. Aka, this was large scale production to feed animals that where then sold.

Actually this seems perfectly sensible to me. Absent Wickard, we might expect that the national government can regulate the sale of the computer across state lines, but not the installation of the CPU within a state.
Hand-written signatures seem to be one of those silly little rituals we all do without knowing why and despite it not actually accomplishing anything. A picture of my name being on a document does not in any way show that I read it or even drew the picture myself, nor does the absence of a picture of my name show that I didn't read it. Yet we all play make-believe.
This analogy is comparable to an extent. The odds of making money off bitcoin compared to a lottery ticket are several orders of magnitude higher. When making investments if you want to make large gains some of your money has to be in riskier assets.

Obviously don't put your life savings in bitcoin, anyone who does is not making an intelligent choice. But if you have money to spare that your willing to lose, I wouldn't consider it a horrible investment.
This a great analysis. I would love to see a public page displaying title changes so that I could click "request explanation" and the mods could offer an explanation for those every day based on reader interest.

Whatever is going on to achieve it, HN is a great online community, and so maybe that is due to the moderation. Sometimes I wonder if it might be in spite of the moderation, but who knows :)

the precipitous drop that happens to stories after their titles have been changed shows a very strong editorial bias going on. I think there is a general strategy of keeping highly controversial political topics off of HN.

The question is, when does this sort of censorship constitute an ideological crackdown in its own right.
From my personal experienced I agree with this -- generally people are not as threatened from how I look/sound and are not as quick to be suspicious. Same goes for children, people think they are innocent, but in many places they are used as part of scams for exactly that reason.
Actually, the easiest error to spot is you misquoting the Constitution as referencing "interstate commerce." It says nothing of the sort.

"Among" has a broader meaning than "between," and "among" is the word the Constitution uses.
So, you’d only need an average of 18,000 people on duty around the clock to do review of everything uploaded to YouTube.

At $15/hour pay, that's only about $2.4 billion/year for reviewers; all told, with supervision and other overhead, maybe on the order of $7.5 billion/yr.

It's probably not impossible for Google, and it wouldn't even make Google unprofitable. But it would make YouTube unprofitable.
The question I ask is: do signatures reduce fraud? I don't have any data, but my expectation is that fraudsters are less likely to go for it if they have to sign... i.e. the psychological barrier is more important than the obvious unenforceability of the signature as a bona fide.

Fraudsters = people trying to get free stuff, as well as merchants putting through bogus or altered transactions
Huh? That's not the argument at all. The court's opinion was that because he was growing his own wheat, he was not buying wheat from others, which in turn would affect wheat prices (thus interstate commerce). It had nothing to do with the animals. This case was most certainly overreaching, and the court itself later acknowledged that.
I guess I'm coming from a sort of Jamelle Bouie place about how racism describes mostly actions and not people, so I mean, his actions are paint-peelingly racist, but the constellation of fucked up things he believes paints a different picture about the fundamental problem in his psyche, which might not be that simple.
Very frustrating/heartless reply you’ve given me. I’ve really started to lean in the side of “toxic communities (like this one) are bad” lately. Your behavior is awful. You would not say this to me in real life.

Here’s an alternative perspective; one person (or even many) not understanding a joke is irrelevant, and probably their fault. I am blameless.

The low value I generated is also irrelevant, I don’t exist or speak only to generate value.

Your attitude is rude, and toxic, and this bad behavior, and you should not repeat it.
Yeah, this is the state of affairs at Google, for example.
"Clerks make mistakes. "

They become the judges' mistakes if they don't control the quality of the work the clerks are doing. Otherwise the judges could be removed and the clerks would sit in Supreme Court.
That was fun to read. :)

I disagree with first part though, "don't write (like) this." Bloomberg's writing style is a little of old fashioned corporate sounding, but that's just style. It's also OK to write from a certain pov, including a ceo's.

I agree with the rest. All comes with the territory. Good reminder how nuts that territory is.

The front page portrays professional women, dressed as professionals, promoting a product that they personally use. Normally, that would be cool. I know more professional women sysadmin then male sysadmins, yet the marketing is usually male-oriented.

However, with all the baggage of sexist advertising in the tech industry, it's awkward. And then there's the images on the FAQ page, for guaranteed table flipping cringe.
I completely agree with you, and I'm in my mid-40's still paying off college debt for a degree that hasn't helped. (I was a business management major)

Unless, you're going to be a doctor/lawyer/engineer/$FIELD_THAT_REQUIRES_LICENSING... then college is a scam, and a waste of time and money.

Don't be fooled, education != college. You CAN get educated for much less, in MANY other ways, for much less money (if not free).
for what it is worth, this is also an excellent solution (for some people in states where it is legal) to the effects of ADHD medication, as it counteracts both the insomnia and the appetite loss.

Actually, if you're adventurous, you can clone it from github and build on your mac with bazel, but, your experience may suck in terms of performance (that's why it's not officially released yet). But, because you have an AMD, it will probably work well.

You would need to:
bazel build -c opt plaidml:wheel plaidml/keras:wheel

and then

sudo pip install bazel-bin/plaidml/whl bazel-bin/plaidml/keras/whl
No...undergrad = bachelors. But graduate means both master's and phd. No one says graduate to mean solely master's. And post-graduate might be a vague term (no one uses it) but generally it means the same as just graduate.
I spent years working in the forestry industry in Canada planting trees. The first picture says a lot in respect to why the process might be going slowly for them. It is an athletic endeavour that takes efficient tools and the mindset to endure a lot of suffering. It says they are planting 3 million trees a year; that is a tiny amount. I've worked with many planters who have planted over a million trees themselves. Here's a link to a picture of what an effective treeplanter looks like: https://i0.wp.com/hardcoretreeplanters.com/wp/wp-content/upl...
Many liberal legal scholars will admit that Roe v. Wade is in error, even if they agree with the outcome. Similarly, although many people view marriage equality as required by the equal protection clause, Justice Kennedy's opinion in Obergefell is not the most well-supported and well-researched opinion out there...
Nice and eloquent! Will read also other articles.
We don't need no IPv6. We just need more NATs. When we run out of space, we just add more NATs. It's NATs all the way down.
As a dabbling neuroscientist I'm very skeptical! Why? because Cortisol levels fluctuate based on exercise, diet, and perceived stress. If you go jogging every day and follow that up with 30 minutes at the riverside thinking -nothing- your cortisol can drop dramatically in 2 weeks.

Adrenal gland.. Mostly relies on good neurochemistry, which relies on 2 things: good diet, and good gut health. Meaning: eat your yogurt (and bio flora for your tummy) and get all your amino acids! Good gut health = great digestion -> what you eat becomes good neurochem -> happiness and clarity.
Absolutely, you could just as easily speculate that Conservative judges are more willing to play fast and loose with facts to fit their purposes.

Addendum: WeWork's general office conditions and amenities do compare favorably to those of early-stage companies (not to mention most random BigCorps), overall. (Again, it's the average of the great unwashed mass of companies I'm talking about, here -- not the Big 4, and certainly not whatever hot startup you've worked for recently where everything was way nicer, and the people way cooler than anywhere else).

But at the same time - if anyone's giving you free beer (as opposed to some other non-mind-altering amenity), there's always a reason for it.

I think you and I are doing completely different types of software development or live in very different bubbles.

> Those are two almost separate tracks
No they are not. If you come up with some innovation/improvement in your field you should present it to a broader audience. It's not like these seminars and meetups have non-technical audience. So you don't need Elon Musk level of charisma. It's just sharing knowledge.

> Majority of developers I know, regardless of age, don't like writing in general

Not true for me. Most good developers I know like to share their knowledge and opinions via different channels.

> Few do and it is great when they do

WTF! why is not documenting stuff acceptable where you work? what happens when the component needs updates/fixes long after the developer has left? At least document enough stuff so that somebody else can be brought up to speed quickly. Maintainability is a key requirement in modern software.

> skill and contributions

If you're doing the same thing your skill doesn't really improve much after 3-4 years. Most best practices are documented or are otherwise passed down from senior engineers to junior engineers. So it's not like somebody with 20 years experience will write better code than somebody with 5 years experience.

As an anecdotal evidence, I started out fresh out of college 8 years back, did J2EE and some frontend (pre-HTML5).. after 3 years I realized that I knew pretty much known everything about enterprise J2EE patterns and practices as any other person. So I moved into big data (hadoop, MR, etc.), learned stuff, mentored people, etc. Last year I realized that big data field is big enough with enough documentation and established practices that you can train a developer in 2 years to do what I was doing. So I moved into machine learning. I hope to ride this wave for the next 5-6 years until it becomes apparent that any college graduate can be trained to do my work with a couple of years of mentoring.
I think firewalls basically come down to matching a packet against an n-tuple of attributes and taking an indicated action. This is an oversimplification but this is how it looks when you view the rules.

I think that can potentially be expressed very simply and consistently with a basic grammar. You could still keep the concept of zones, which are a useful abstraction. Learning and applying something like that would be much quicker for me personally, because I don't normally work with it, and when I do, I just need something that gets the job done so I can move on.

UFW comes close, but it's use cases are limited and the syntax is not consistent - it changes based on what attributes you are matching.
In Thunderbird, you have to change it to plain text. I default to sending plain text, as a general rule. I usually read in plain text but currently have one system set to view in simple HTML. I forget why I changed that.
All good points, however one thing missing is that humans also want to be able to refer specifically to "that dog-eared copy of Moby Dick". Facts like "that dog-eared copy of Moby Dick is missing page 34" or "that dog-eared copy of Moby Dick is actually a super valuable early edition" should not change their referent when the library gets a shiny new copy of the book.

And that's exactly how I read the article: both mutable and immutable references are nice to have for different use cases.
Tesla raises wages 30% in Germany soon after firing its US workers
By the time they’d need to scrawl a line on a receipt, a thief has already stolen a credit card or purchased a number and printed/magnetized a card. A signature at checkout isn’t going to deter that person.
Hopefully those nitpicking the wording, timing, and implementation of these rules realize just how deep harassment and hate run on social media platforms like Twitter.

Certainly the rules are imperfect, but the amount of anonymous toxicity currently allowed is IMO much worse than some clunky standards. There's a lot of space between defending free speech and standing idly by while people use your service to attack others.
I'd be shocked if these rules get used on the "let's punch Nazis" camp. More likely is that there's now additional things to point to when "problematic" tweets get mass-flagged.

How Is New Terminal in VS Code So Fast?
When I was in Belgium last year, with my American chip-but-no-pin credit card, the terminal would just spit out an extra long receipt and the slightly confused cashier would say, "oh, you have to sign ... somewhere" since there wasn't a line or spot for it.
Studios starting at $3050 p/m.

Seems like a lot.
It's also (probably) not a scalable solution. Consider two additional points:

1) 400/minute is only the most recent public number I could find a source for. It appears to be from 2015.

2) In 2013 that number was 100/hour and in 2011 it was 48/hour. The growth of user-created video content isn't exactly slowing down (vlogs, etc.)

I understand. That's why I added the feature to bypass the recommendations engine for some feeds, so that you could still see everything published by favorite blogs. That way the recommendations engine can only watch high-volume sites.
Yes it reminds me of when the Xbox 360 released a $100 cheaper stripped down "Core Pack" without a harddrive, headset and other things. It was mocked by gamers and the enthusiast game press and labelled (not very appropriately) the "retard pack."
The point was that it's not the entire purpose of having the security guard. The building management wants to "provide security" to its tenants as a feature they are willing to pay for. The tenants, for their part, want "security" but not the inconvenience of being "harrassed" by the guards when they forget their purse or whatever.

Guards know this too, and given the choice between letting someone through who you are pretty sure is legitimate and potentially starting a fight which will generate a complaint, they'll "do the best they can" and just wave people through.

Motivations interact in funny ways, and the parameters aren't like software: they're hidden and surprising.
It looks like Soros’ foundation gave them $250k back in 2010. Is that bad?

"[T]he decisions they make cannot be appealed or nullified except by their own subsequent decisions."

This is not correct. If the Supreme Court interprets a statute in a way that Congress disagrees with, Congress is free to amend the statute. If the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution in a way that leads to an unpleasant result, the people are free to amend the Constitution.
I hate that chevron stations require pin input, don't support tap inside or at the pump.

I have worked on libraries for images in terminals [https://github.com/fenwick67/term-px] but I never thought to make a simple image import / export tool so you could just `cat` the file to show it in a terminal. Now you gave me a weekend project.
He hadn't. I just explained the Terry/HolyC thing to nbp (the author) this evening over coffee. He had never heard of it before.
I think I was too indirect earlier. Your charge is that I failed to "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says".

But the argument I responded to was literally:

>I still think the vast majority of this concern over abuse is a red herring though. People just don't like it when their curated bubble is pierced by information that contradicts it, and they confuse being corrected with persecution and social status games.

Which boils down to the poster accusing people who claim they are being abused of doing it for social status, which is in essence a criticism of the weakest form of their argument. So you seem to be applying this guideline pretty inconsistently. Are you implicitly supporting the previous claim by calling out my rebuttal and not the post I was replying to? It certainly looks that way Dang.
Hey, it's missing the "%eth0", "%enp3s0", "%eno0", "%br0" etc etc keys!

Right, now write an algorithm that takes 140 characters of input and correctly identifies whether or not the intent of the author is to legitimately commit an act of violence.

Right now the policy is heading toward cheating by equating anything that looks like a threat with a threat. This is not writing laws with human beings in mind. Removing the requirement for intent is literally banning certain types of speech for the sole purpose of allowing for algorithmic/lazy enforcement. And because almost all of the time it's going to be a false positive it's going to selectively enforced against certain subsets of the population or used to hang someone for a different crime that didn't stick.

I don't buy the troll argument. If the message is coming from a troll it is almost by definition not a real threat and just a person trying to elicit a reaction or blowing off steam.

I'm all for going after people that make legitimate death threats over the Internet but not this way.
You can pick office furniture locks with a binder clip and a paper clip, which you can often find in the unlocked portions of the office furniture. The paper clip is permanently disfigured in the process, but the binder clip can be put back unharmed.

I know, because I have actually done this occasionally, to remind myself to never leave anything valuable at the office. It can take less than 60 seconds to go from empty-handed to an opened lock. A few more seconds to re-lock it with your makeshift pick.

Cheap locks might as well not exist to a professional attacker. They barely exist for an amateur motivated by curiosity or boredom.

Door locks are a bit more difficult, and may require more sophisticated tools, but those are left unlocked more often, for the extremely ironic reason that the employees that have greatest use for them typically don't have the keys. The only keyed doors that ever get locked are upper management offices, the office supply closet, and wherever it is they keep the sodas and snacks for visiting customers.

As with online security, companies are only willing to pay for the illusion of security. Genuine physical security is difficult, expensive, and wears heavily on employee morale.
