PCBs Are Not “Toxic Time Bombs”
Here's some schematics of Bogotá's mentioned cable car.[0] Bogotá desperately needs solutions to the cities car crowding. They've tried a lot of innovative things: closing major roads on Sunday only allow bikes and pedestrians, limiting cars in the city by license plate number. The traffic is still terrible.

Also of note, taxi associations in Bogotá have been facing off against Uber, sometimes violently.

So, how are you feeling? Great? OK, I'll call back at a better time......
My visits to Zuckerberg-land are few and getting fewer. Mainly to pick up the occasional personal message and redirect it to a more civilized channel. And when I visit, I am heavily insulated by various sorts of filters - I never see ads or silly recommendations.

So clearly, I'm in a bubble, and my ignorance is self-wrought, but honestly, I never get it when there's talk about people reading news - fake or otherwise - on Facebook. How do you even do that? Why would anyone? What am I missing? If I ever did see a news item there, my first instinct would be distrust, my first potential reaction would be seeking out some external source, and if none could be found, absolute dismissal.

Two billion users do realise FB is nothing but a cheap, tacky marketing ploy, yes? They do, don't they? Please!
kinda related: Richard Veech (not in OP article) is probably the doctor/researcher (to my knowledge) has done the best research into ketosis, imo.

https://irp.nih.gov/pi/richard-veech

http://drveech.com/

He's found some very interesting results about the improvement of cellular energy efficiency (thermodynamic improvement)/cellular homeostasis due to keto throughout his career:

- neurons were less thermodynamically wasteful in terms of excess heat generated (because more efficient delta-G/easier ionic potentials); and therefore, due to neuronal metabolic dysfunctions induced by concussions, ketosis was good for treating concussion. DARPA has apparently sunk quite a lot of money into his research of the treatment of concussions/TBI (because of IEDs, etc) - e.g., this paper sponsored by DARPA https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5102124/

- cardiac cells too performed more efficiently with ketone bodies

(- if I recall correctly (which I'm not sure that I do..) some breeds of mice were able to hold their breath underwater for something ridiculous like 150% (or more?) of the normal length of time than control group mice could. I can't seem to find the source for this.. [although, anecdotally, there have been 4 or 5 times when (in ketosis) I could hold my breath for >2 minutes (timed) with ease, whereas out of ketosis I'd be barely capable of doing so after, say, 45 seconds..])

I isn't too surprising is it? Companies are made up of people and people are made up of complex psychologies.

Something startups do is the they take people who may have very little experience at the senior level and thrust them up there into the limelight. That is contrasted with people who come up through the ranks of a large company, adjusting along the way to the norms of corporate behavior and the company's notion of right and wrong.

I am fascinated by the lack of repercussions for investors. I had thought GroupOn and Zynga would have taught people the risks but no such luck.
That seems dangerously fast to put on the outside of something on a normal street.
Ask HN: Take founding-CTO job offer with no equity?
tl;dr: I am asked to take the role as CTO in a to-be-found company without equity in Germany. Shall I do it?

Longer story: A year ago, a friend of mine and I started wandering around in Germany to get funding for a startup. Fast forward today, we figured out we are not the "classical founders" a startup would need (no/low salary, big risk etc.). Nevertheless we were able to get an interesting offer anyway: to found a subsidiary of an existing company to cannibalize their own business. He would serve as CEO and I would serve as CTO, including all rights one would have as Managing Directors but without equity. The investor would sit on the advisory board and owns 100% of the company. In exchange, we would get a very high salary (way higher than market standard) from day 1 incl. bonus agreements. This would be also true for all of our employees. We would get all decision making power, an external office just to be completely separated from the parent company.

What would you do? Do you have additional advice?

Some more detailed background information: I currently have a very good job/salary at $BigCo in Germany, so no pressure on that side. My dream was always to own a company which I can influence in a way impossible at $BigCo. I like leading people, strategical thinking and working together with my own team. I know in this case I wouldn't own the company technically speaking, but I nevertheless would be able to create a meaningful working culture. I'm mid 20s, no kids, no real estate and "only" bound to my SO. My biggest fear is to get dropped out of business by the owner after $X years/months when the company makes well because of the high salary (why should he pay $high to me when he can pay $less to somebody else in the future?). I inerhited the need for social and job safety from my parents and therefore I'm naturally motivated by job safety and a high salary (to buy real estate ASAP).

Thank you!
I've been living here for 5y and I work in a research lab. A lot of talent is deciding to stay here or come back (Chinese that went to study/work abroad).
Attracting foreign talent is a little different, but so far the government is not really worried about that.

I can only see the trend speeding up. Especially as/if the environment (air quality, etc.) improves. This now, in my personal view, seems to be the main factor for many people to decide to come or not.
Does it matter? Their effectiveness is proven at this point.
I bet there are some good opportunties for some concentrated journalism that people will find interesting enough to build a "proper business" untainted by as much advertising. The success of patreon has me believe that you could probably get enough rich people to pay (say) $50/month for a news source that feels less of a need to pander.

I don't want to be too dismissive, but even though I like the coverage I get from the NY Times, I'm still financing a bunch of think pieces on the fashion industry, their cooking apps, "78 hours in X" articles, movie reviews, Bret Stephens op-eds, "Republicans place doubt on Hillary for X"-style both sides pieces, etc.

I mean, sure, journalism. And its a big outfit, we don't all need to be writing about the opiod crisis. But I would like to think there's a market.

Bonus points if you make this and get a rich person to help finance it. The subscription can help ease the losses whatever billionaire ends up taking. Medium is already kinda this.

You don't fake your stats, you tell something true that is impressive unless you look under the hood of how the number was formulated. That's how you can get away with it legally. There's a famous old book called "How to Lie with Statistics" (it's on Bill Gates' must read list) that explains some methods companies use.

You are living in a pre-11/9 mentality my friend. A few years ago, it was easy to think that material possessions were enough. The yawing chasms in the fabric of society are now baldly apparent.

The old system is crashing. We need to acknowledge reality now and work as fast as possible to fix it after we figure out how.

I found blockchainbdgpzk in just under 3 days. It was the sixth blockchain* address I found.

I ran 3x 4 GPU cloud instances on AWS on the old Teslas - which aren't very fast at SHA. IIRC it was doing 15GH/s total

Today you can get ~7GH/s on an Nvidia 1080 so you should be able to find an all-alpha 10 char onion in about a week.

The new cards and some of the password cracking rigs (i'm building a new one now) are able to do SHA1 so quickly that they're a real threat to generating phishing addresses for onions - which is why the DigiCert certificates are required

You know, if I weren’t a tea enthusiast myself, all that smoke you’re blowing might obfuscate something.

Here’s how I manage to control all those variables without a thousand dollar tea keurig:
1) one time, just once, I measure the volume of my tea cup. This is good for, you know, the life of the cup.
2) I throw an infuser on a scale, and throw teaspoons of tea in until I’ve hit the the right grams/100 ml. I now know how many tap of loose leaf are right for that cup.

3) I enjoy black tea, so boiling is fine. If it’s a day I’m feeling like a green or an oolong, I’ll dump a food thermometer probe into my kettle - it’ll beep at my desired temp.

4) I pour the water in the cup, stick in the infuser, and throw 5 minutes on the timer that comes with every iPhone.

Just so we are clear, the everyday cup of tea looks like this: throw 2 tsp leaves into infuser, boil water, rinse leaves, stick infuser in cup, let sit five minutes.

Oddly, with all the magic of “a timer on my phone,” my daily cup is controlled for temp, pressure (I’m not changing altitudes here), steep time, and water volume. And
All it cost was an 8$ infuser.

But, sure, buy up all the 1000$ kettles you can grab.

I also really like PureScript, but the output from PureScript seems to be a lot larger than OCaml/BuckleScript and have worse performance. OCaml/BuckleScript has a really small stdlib that is lacking common functions, does not support type classes or point free style. A lot of groups end up making their own stdlib. BuckleScript is probably the more practical option at the moment.

How do you notify a user of errors in input without a complete page refresh if you do not use Javascript (ignoring the most basic HTML stuff)? Without at least some scripting capability, you're talking about making the experience worse for the user to the benefit (ease of the request/response model) of the developer.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It is the responsibility of devs to use technology well. You don't want all of this JS, but you do want some of it.

Too many people are making their assumptions about what is possible and what JS is capable of based upon views of web development that are 5-10 years out of date or based on bad software. Bad software is endemic to the industry, it's not representative of any single tech stack.

I agree with you on everything except for the part about "Medium is already kinda this".

Medium has also made the same mistake of introducing bias even though they claim to want to become a platform.

A lot of people see Medium as a place where a bunch of self-important people, wannabe activists, growth hackers, social justice warriors live.

You can see that by the type of posts they promote on their main page as well as their official Twitter account.

It's really hard to become unbiased when the organization has a clear owner. I am hoping that the new decentralized technologies will inspire some people to come up with a completely transparent and non biased system for true journalism.

Rereading that, I should have worded it as "those are skills that are required for Deep Learning research". There are of course a bunch of other skills you need to be successful, but you won't get far without being comfortable with linear algebra and calculus.

To answer your question, I believe that because I haven't yet seen a Deep Learning paper which did not couch its results in terms of those, even if it might not have been strictly necessary. If you do not understand the basics of current approaches, you'll have a hard time developing them further.
Interesting. In another 300-500 years, I am pretty sure we will start simulating sensory experience and ultimately the past. I am not sure if I am a toy simulation of the past from the future, right now.
Neural Networks are really good at identifying patterns in data. As a classic example, if you wanted to predict housing prices, you could build a data set that maps features about houses (square feet, location, proximity to Caltrain, etc) onto their actual price, and then train a network to recognize the complex relationship between features and pricing. Training happens by feeding the network features, letting it make a guess about the price, and then correcting the guess (backpropagation).

Convolutional Neural Networks work similarly, but with images. Instead of giving a CNN discrete features, you'll usually just use the pixels of the image itself. Through a series of layers, the CNN is able to build features itself (traditionally things like edges, corners) and learn patterns in image data. For example, a CNN might be trained on a dataset that maps images onto labels, and learn how to label new images on its own.

This video uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to actually generate new images. In this case, you have two networks "competing" against each other. One network is a traditional CNN trying to identify is an image is "real" or computer generated, and the second network tries to generate new images to trick the first network.

We've been able to generative fairly realistic small images before (usually 64x64), but doing it this well on high-resolution (1024x1024) images is unprecedented.

This fixes the exact problems I would often have with ReasonML . On top of that my coworker hcarty made some nontrivial contributions to it, so I'm super excited. I am a dyed in the wool C style programmer, but after exposure to reasonml, I felt (as odd as it seems) able to read regular OCaml syntax easier. As someone else mentioned, it becomes a matter of what you see in your mind more than what's on the screen. I read OCaml library docs and have no trouble putting them into reason code.

Thanks for your work folks, ReasonML is just getting started.
Well, I guess the propaganda bots will be a little more convincing now that they can have unique profile photos.

I feel like that's very easy to say in hindsight. There is a large market of people that doesn't have a problem with overpaying a lot for very basic products with intangible value-add, and it seems to be hard to know if your product just stays within the bounds of their gullibility or crosses it.

Few days ago I saw a Kickstarter for a water purifier with subscription cartridges[0], and my first thought was: "Oh boy, that's going to be another Juicero". Honestly tough it's very hard to predict, and it could go either way and be a Nespresso/Keurig and not a Juicero/Teforia.

Looking at synthetic celebrities is unsettling. They're all familiar. They're obviously celebrities, but it's impossible to remember their names.
right, that is my point! I made my comment because I feel the author was being misleading about just how much a "long time" and by falsely suggesting that the animation he put up for it was real and not just random noise.

> warmongers, they are not

Perhaps they were not, though they were so dominant that they had no security fears and had other levers of power.

Contemporary China has militarily threatened or even had conflicts with most of their neighbors, including Japan, The Philippines, Vietnam, India, and Taiwan, and also the U.S. Communist China fought a war with Russia in the mid-20th century, invaded S. Korea (with the N. Koreans' assent), and invaded and annexed Tibet. They have built-military and quasi- military bases in Sri Lanka (not sure of the status of that one), Pakistan, and Djibouti. They've built infrastructure supporting potential military logistics throughout Asia.

The Chinese government's talking point is in the comment above: China does not interfere in other countries affairs and they seek a 'peaceful rise', citing their history as if President Xi restricts himself to what was done in the Qing, Ming or prior dynasties centuries ago. Almost all warmongers in history, or the ones with any sense, have made the same claims about peace; look up some German propaganda from the 1930s.

Yes they are that petty. Steve Jobs parked in handicapped parking spots because he couldn't be bothered to walk as far as normal people. Zuckerberg rolled up to Hawaii, bought some land, and tried to sue all the locals off of the rights they had enjoyed for generations before he showed up. Bill Gates, for all the good he does now, was a giant dick to everyone he did business with at every chance he got. The super rich are the pettiest people on the planet because unlike regular people, they don't deal with the consequences.

If an average person starts doing everything they technically are allowed to do, they will be shunned socially. When that happens, beyond feeling bad, you lose your support network and can get into serious trouble in life. The rich don't have that problem. They don't need to rely on the good will of others to watch their kids, or to give them time off to go handle bank issues or medical problems.
