TrueAge: Find out how old you actually are
Due to the fact that aging has not been recognized as a disease, none of the known anti-aging wellness therapies have been extensively tested in clinical trials. Very little information is available about their efficacy. Clinical trials are expensive and time consuming, and, until recently, were impossible to conduct due to the lack of useful biomarkers of the aging process. True Age holds several provisional patents on technologies that allow us to offer our test directly to consumers, clinicians, and/or supplement companies. By attracting consumers (citizen scientists), we collect more information on effects of diseases, diet, supplements and vitamins, genetic information and mental state changes into our algorithm to improve our personalized predictions of how individuals can achieve the perfect health balance and an increase in lifespan.

Our test is based on a saliva sample, and blood draw is not required. We will send you a package with a saliva collector and an additional backup tube with a box to send it back to our lab after you are finished. This process is very easy and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Once we receive your sample, it will be anonymously processed by a lab technician and we can tell you your true biological age. By doing our test several times a year, you can monitor changes in your true age and find out whether your lifestyle, diet, exercise and other factors truly increase or decrease your rate of aging. Once we collect enough data through citizen science and develop a machine learning predictive bio-analytics platform, we will be able to make recommendations on what changes you can make to increase your lifespan.

Perhaps a partial answer to the question is, 'because the IT industry hasn't provided the world with a secure, widespread, public communication medium" (by public, I mean one not controlled by a private company). The IT industry gets a lot of praise, but there are a lot of gaps in performance that we have become accustomed to overlooking.

I still fail to see how it is not possible to unlock with your passcode for the two use cases you mention.

I think I understand the point you are getting at, design for tricky situations and the normal situations will be easier, but I think you are failing to see that you cannot design for every scenario, eventually you have to weigh up the feature sets of two technologies and pick the best one for most use cases and users, which Apple obviously thinks is FaceID.

I think FaceID will allow features simply not possible with TouchID, and expand across the Apple product line, and to other manufacturers, to the point where in 5-10yrs time we just expect screens to recognise us. This is an important step towards this.
Strikingly (YC W13) Is Hiring Senior Developers in Our Shanghai Office
I think there is a bigger danger in this sort of isolationism (quite the euphemism!) than just vicious values being allowed to coalesce. The isolationism results in individuals' values not being challenged, which can push them further and further away from reality. Let's create an imaginary example. We're trying to solve a math problem. The correct answer to this problem is 0. However, one side believes the answer is absolutely at least 50. And the other side believes the answer must be no more than -50. When these two groups remain within contact, they counter balance each other. But now let's isolate these groups. In the past when the -50 side chose to go -60 there would be some push back against that and it would help create a more of a central equilibrium. But in isolation without opposition, -60 sounds awesome. Why not -70, or even lower? And on the other side an equal but opposite push for 60, 70 and more is simultaneously happening.

Taking this into real life, I think this is arguably what is happening with politics today. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being right leaning or left leaning. But as we have begun to segregate ourselves into 'only right leaning' or 'only left leaning' the individuals within these groups have started becoming increasingly radicalized. News that is supportive of the chosen belief is accepted unquestioningly. Negative news of 'the other side' is similarly accepted without question. And, perhaps more than ever before, we are creating a country where people are not only becoming radicalized in their beliefs, but mutually intolerant of anything except those beliefs.

And now a thought experiment. Imagine we broke the country into two by political view. And, for the sake of fairness, we'll pretend that both magically have all the resources/wealth/etc of the original nation. Would this resolve the issues with everybody living happily ever after? I imagine we'd see the exact same cycle begin to be carried out without these new nations as people divided and radicalized once again to no real end. The founding fathers were, in terms of identity and broad political view, relatively homogenous. Yet it took no time for them to break into Federalist vs Antifederalist (in spite of their astute prognostications on the dangers of parties). And as one side or the other gained dominant support it never resulted in stability. Instead there would be a fracturing and new split to no end. But as they remained with arm's reach of each side, radicalism never took that much of a hold. Granted, we did have a sitting vice president kill the first secretary of the treasury in a duel. But in a paradoxical way that illustrates how generally respectful the parties remained. Sufficiently impugning somebody's honor, part and parcel of modern politics, was sufficient cause for a duel which did on occasion result in death.
Did you get the permission of the users whose responses you posted?
Sorry, I apologize for being unclear, I don't agree with you're interpretation of the use case that adds the most value.

While the RFC does state that what you described can happen at a caching intermediary, I don't believe that's where the value lies or the primary use case. To me, much of the value added is to get the 103 to the client early, and allow it to begin making decisions on whether the content is in it's local cache, or to begin making requests to third party servers.

This helps eliminate some of the weaknesses with HTTP push, mainly being that only content the server is authoritative for can be pushed, and that the server doesn't know whether the resource to be pushed already exists in a client cache.

It's a balancing act of course, but if the resource being pushed is above a certain size, pushing the resource on each request could add overhead, not reduce it.

Just for the reader awareness: this guy right here in Gregory Maxwell, a key person working for Blockstream. Nullc actively support 1Mb block to artificially cripple the blockchain and thus create artificial demand for their centralized and bank-like product: side chains and LN hubs.

That's said, Gavin was driven out of Bitcoin development at the time by you and your team blocking any block size increase with dumb arguments. The interested reader will search bitcointalk for such recurring discussion. He then created Bitcoin XT wich included a voting system for miners to vote for bigger blocks. XT nodes were the target of massive Ddos attacks, and some miners were as well. XT failed because of that, despite a growing support for big blocks. From that day Gavin and Mike gave up knowing that small blockers had taken control of Bitcoin, thanks to the $70'000'000 AXA and other investors put into Blockstream.

The whole Bitcoin foundation was a side project of him, and did not discredit itself. But since /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk was already controlled by people supporting small blocks, and very complaisant with Blockstream, you and Luke Jr and others used those channels to spread misinformation about this foundation run by people supporting big blocks. Today, such discussions channels are so censored that only remains (probably paid) trolls, small blockers and newcomers completely lost in this shitshow. Banned people created /r/btc and this sub is growing quite fast and sometime has more active users than /r/bitcoin does.

Fun fact about you: you used the same kind of practice when you were contributing to Wikipedia. Indeed, you were aggressively blanking user page because of supposed copyright violation no one but you cared about. After dozens of complaints you received a ban but in the meantime you automated the process using a sock puppet account. Hopefully at the end they got you out, the "toxic" and "insane" "gmaxwell".

Last but not least, comparing commit number does not highlight the role of each individual. Gavin was a project leader and could see the big picture. It's like saying Linus Torvalds is useless because he barely does non-merge commit. Gavin saw the small block shitshow coming from miles away, he saw the fee rising from miles away. Bitcoin is in a very poor state, blocks are full, the fee market makes no sense ans is quite unstable, sides chains were proven impractical to reach VISA level of transactions, and LN is no more than a take over of banks on Bitcoin. We are talking of fees bigger than a dollar for a classic transaction, already micro transactions are not possible anymore with Bitcoin. No wonders why Ethereum is taking the lead.

Anyway I will stop here, it's a pain to write comments on mobile phones. If this interests you, have a look to the sticky post in /r/btc, it contains sourced and well written links about the current Bitcoin situation and how we got there.
Make this. Somebody make this. Maybe it's not the obnoxious, catch-phrasey SaaS bulls*t you wanted to do, but it will change the world and you can be proud that you made it. There are millions of blind people in the world. They shuffle around with rudimentary technology. Literally sticks. But they still have ears. Synesthesia. Process the visual 3D world with a camera. Use head tracking. Convert it into an immersive three-dimensional auditory world. A curb sounds like a stream. A tree sounds like rustling leaves. A pole is an electric arc. Traffic lights are pings. Red lights, walk signs all have a distinctive sound replicated in 3D auditory world that maps as closely as possible to the actual world. We have the technology. You can build it. Not only would it radically improve the lives of blind people, it would be a blast for the sighted to design and refine. Like a real life video game that actually matters to someone.

Yup, doctors specialize. When a GP gets orders a scan, such as a CT or x-rays, it's typically another doctor that specializes in the imaging area who examines it and writes a report. I don't think many GPs would have much of a use for an ultrasound because they would prefer a specialist perform it.

A few caveats. One, telepresence. You can have the specialist basically be there with you as you operate the probe. Everything gets done in office and the patient doesn't have to travel which can be a big deal in rural communities. I find most urban GPs don't even have a second thought about sending patients off for a scan at some other office.

Following that would be very remote doctors, those that might be labeled as a GP, but basically have to have a ton of specialist knowledge because of the wide range of things they might need to do.

And of course vets, especially large animal vets. Who are already using cool devices such as head mounted displays to view the ultrasound as they generally have their arm all the all the way up an animals rear end.

I am not sure if fax is more secure than E-mail. When I still had my machine I usually received several faxes per year with confidential information. It was always lawyers who had mistyped the fax number. And most of them used redial so they kept sending stuff until I told them they had the wrong number.
I don't think you understand what the word "shortage" means. A shortage logically cannot persist in a free market unless some external factor is artificially constraining supply or restricting prices. There is no supply constraint; unlike physicians or lawyers there is no formal training or certification required for software developers (outside of a few secret or safety-critical positions). And the government hasn't placed any limits on salaries. If there was a true shortage then we would be seeing huge increases in compensation, which obviously isn't happening. Perhaps you're just not willing to pay the market clearing price.

As for talent, that's basically a myth.

That's exactly the case for me. I spend physical cash with much less hesitation than for online purchases. I'd probably spend way more freely online if I didn't have to keep track of the purchase just in case something goes wrong, like getting mis-charged, double-billed, a continuing subscription I wasn't expecting, or just to remember why that $1 debit appears on my statement.

As an aside:

It's curious to see that this made it to the HN front page and already has more than 25 comments, yet nobody has commented on the original article's own page which does allow commenting. Well, there is one comment that says, "Great analysis", but that was me just to check if commenting actually works. I suppose that ties in with the same idea -- it's not worth the "cognitive cost" to make a comment no one will read.
I'm somewhat skeptical of an EMT's skill level when it comes to ultrasounds.

That's a fairly normal part of Operations work and has been for decades. Most places (I assume Amazon is one of them) will have a pool of lower-tier admins on deck 24/7 who handle and investigate 99% of the issues that crop up. But for that 1% they can't deal with, then they need to be able to reach someone who CAN deal with it.

It's much cheaper to occasionally call an SME every once in a while when they're needed, than it is to hire another 3 or 4 of them to cover a 24 hour roster.

I've been called out in the middle of the night to fix someone else's mess more times than I can count, so I'm 100% behind Amazon's cultural reasons for sticking to this sort of on-call system as well.
International companies can apply for VPN which allows them to legally use one. They need to attest that it will be used for business purposes; this should sensibly part of the negotiation process when investing and establishing a presence.

For me Touch ID has been only slightly better than using a code for unlocking the phone. It can be as fast as Touch ID in the sense that by the time you can physically get the phone in position to do something it’s unlocked. You can’t unlock it when it’s in your pocket like you can with Touch ID but with Touch ID you still have to look at the phone to verify whether or not it has been unlocked. And most things you do with the phone require looking at it.

- For consumer compute consider serverless (api gateway and lambda) - this addresses the problem of idle/pre-prod environments.
- Data at rest: consider s3, retention policies and glacier.
- Consider aggressive retention policies on cloudwatch logs, watch out for unnecessary cloudwatch metrics (I still prefer statsd because of the percentiles)
- If you use Kinesis - monitor In/Out bytes and provision shards as needed, control retention.
- Watch out for cross region/hybrid (on prem) stacks - data transfer is very expensive and not obvious.
- Use reserved instances.
- Remove unused EBS volumes.
- Watch out for high IO EBS volumes.
- Use Cloudfront to cache static content.

Is artificial turf safe for a home garden?
forgot to answer the questions in your post: in general, here's what i would suggest, seems like the 3 of you don't necessarily need to work for a living which is a great situation (correct me if i'm wrong). what i'd suggest is to find something that you really enjoy doing, for me, i thought about all these ideas that happened to be popular during whatever time, and though i had plenty of seemingly plausible ideas, at the end of the day, i really didn't care too much about those, sure there would be challenges to tackle and things to learn for a few years, but i would get tired of it really quickly. for me, i got lucky and figured it out, albeit later on in life. from a child, i loved watching and playing sports, i used to read the paper every morning as a kid just to look at all the stats, i could figure out the progression of games just from the numbers. obviously you'll have to figure this out for yourselves, but the fact that you seemingly have the financial security issue resolved, you could start thinking about things in the upper layers of maslow's hierarchy of needs, scratch that, even if you don't have financial security figured out, go for what motivates you. i think elon musk is a great example of someone that goes after the big problems even when there are huge precedents or incumbents in the way, this is the stuff that legacies are made from, solving the potentially unsolvable, he's really leaving his mark on society and since time is severely limited, go for the big things that you care about, the proverbial world hunger type problems if that's your thing. i'm sure whatever comes of it will fully enrich your lives and i'm not necessarily talking about money even though there's plenty of potential for that.

Yes, it is a classical NN with a single output node. I'm not disputing that, I just think their calculation of depth is strange. The network only applies the sigmoid function twice, and would ordinarily be regarded as having a depth of two. The third linear layer is fixed to multiplying by 1, which is what I meant by "has no effect". (Did you miss that I was talking about the third layer?)
