You forget the part where the aggregated content is displayed in a different context than the one it is created for.

It's perceived as an factual answer to a question because it shows up when googled with keywords other than "Popular on Twitter" : https://twitter.com/justinhendrix/status/927335154707828736/...

When you see these tweets on Twitter, you'll quickly identify them as fake due to the context. On Google on the other hand you will see the false statements but these false statements would not be corrected if these tweets were not the exact content you're looking for and you just consumed them and moved on to the content you were searching.
The price of equipment itself is a limiting factor. Also, though rugby is rough, there's an argument that the reason why US football is as dangerous as it is is due to the equipment. See here where a helmet to helmet hit breaks a jaw.

This is how prohibition is killing people: by removing any sort of quality control for the customer. You can die by drinking bad wine or eating contaminated food, but we have processes and laws that make sure wine is done properly and food is not contaminated, so the consumer knows that, when she buys pasta, it's going to be pasta, not a bunch of random chemicals that look like pasta and might taste somewhat like pasta. Can you imagine buying unlabeled pasta from a shady guy in an industrial estate near a plant manufacturing yellow plastic? That's what buying drugs is today, thanks to prohibition.
I read it all... it is hostile, the MAME owner clearly can't be bothered and just wants to close it, and while I can empathise with being inundated with PRs, it's still possible to be accommodating without actually donating much time, you just need to point people in the right direction. and in the event that something is fundamentally incompatible with the project (which this is not) you can show a little class.
Lack of testing; ideally you throw a switch once a month or so to make sure the UPSes work and the generators power on, but I can imagine it's something you'd rather not do, if it doesn't work you've just intentionally borked things for your customers. Still, it is something that datacenters should do, do it a few times before you have any customers, keep doing it. Maybe offer a discount (if it's a new datacenter for an existing provider, like AWS or whatever) for the first couple months, indicating that emergency power has not yet been tested properly.

There's tooling available and running at some of the larger companies (like Netflix) called Chaos Monkey, which triggers random outages constantly to determine if the system is resilient and self-healing.
One thing I struggle with is what is the 'right' price for a bitcoin. How do you calculate that? You hear such wildly divergent claims I just have no idea.
Thanks for noticing, hopefully our products are sufficiently different. If not I'll have to find another Norwegian first name (but I'm not sure my muse will appreciate). LINN was standing for Life Instilled Neural Networks though it's a little early to claim this appellation.
It's a hard problem to solve. We're talking about machines that are required to deliver massive load but that aren't even used once in a given year.
It varies by country, and by what companies offer to different consumers. I'm not an expert in this area, but a few examples I know of:

- In the UK, Visa/Mastercard are the most common networks used for bank debit cards, using them pulls money from your bank account directly. Most banks give most adults (citation needed, but I think) a debit card by default with an account.

- In the UK, you can apply for credit cards from a number of companies, including banks (but it's a seperate to any bank account you might have with them), and credit card only companies. Different providers offer different types of cards, and the kind of deal you can get will depend on your credit history, salary, etc. They will (nearly always) have a credit limit, which could be a few hundred or could be very large. They will have a specific rule about minimum payments - some might want your balance paid in full each month, others will ask for a minimum payment (which could be a tiny percent of the amount owed) each month. If you pay in full, you don't get charged interest. If you take longer to pay, but within the agreed terms, you'll pay some sort of interest, which could be reasonable or extremely expensive depending on the card you have. Some cards offer benefits (points or cashback, maybe other perks like special deals, concierge services, etc.) while some are purely lines of credit with no other benefits.

- In France, I was given a Visa debit card when opening a standard bank account. No experience with French credit cards.

- In Belgium, if you want a card on the Visa/Mastercard networks, you need to get a credit card - most people use debit cards which use different networks (I think they use Maestro and another one..)

Pretty much everything compiles to bytecode (e.g. Java does, Python does, C# does, …)

I expect they want a native binary (possibly even statically linked) so they can trivially distribute the artefact without requiring that the VM be installed or bundled which is a PITA, in which case "compiles to bytecode" is useless.
And yet Intel seems to be wanting to make GPUs for machine learning now...so I guess Nvidia's PR worked against Intel, too?

But as I said in another comment, the truth is Intel doesn't seem to be knowing what it's doing, which is why it's pushing in 5 or 6 different directions with many-core accelerators, FPGAs, custom ASICs, neuromorphic CPUs, quantum computers, graphcores, and so on.

By the time Intel figures out which one of these is "ideal" for machine learning, and behind which arrows to "put more wood," Nvidia will have an insurmountable advantage in the machine learning chip market, backed by an even stronger software ecosystem that Intel can't build because it doesn't yet know "which ML chips will win out".

If I would describe Intel is a sentence these days is "Intel doesn't have a vision." It's mostly re-iterating on its chips and rent-seeking these days by rebranding weak chips with strong chip brands, and adding names like "Silver" and "Gold" to Xeons (and charging more for them, because come on - it says Gold on them!), as well as essentially bringing the DLC nickle-and-diming strategy from games to its chips and motherboards.

Meanwhile, it's wasting billions every year on failed R&D projects and acquisitions because it lacks that vision on what it really needs to do to be successful. Steve Jobs didn't need to build 5 different smartphones to see which one would "win out" in the market.
I'm waiting for the postmortem. I'm very curious to see, what was the root cause of all this mess. As usual, there probably were several overlapping causes.
I looked over some of them, and this isn't very reliable. Eyewitness reports aren't terribly credible in the best of situations. Eyewitness reports of people in stressful careers often working long overnight hours aren't credible at all.

Our memories are terrible, our brains make stuff up when confused, and sleep deprived dreams are very hard to distinguish from reality. Add in the large amount of amphetamines used in the military during that period, the very secretive weapons testing going on, and things like MK-ULTRA and these seem really far fetched.
I work in energy efficiency, so bitcoin makes me cry. Any sane clean energy transition plan requires significant savings (no you can't just build a bunch of PV). But while we are killing ourselves trying to get people to adopt green buildings and low energy appliances, along comes Bitcoin where people just burn energy for nothing.
How likely is it though that the board would have accepted the deal in a real scenario? The VC returns in the example aren't exactly home runs. Wouldn't they be incentivized to block the deal and wait for a better one?
Well the Discovermagazine article at least gets right that this is about genetic diversity. The writer for Popsci butchers that into sexual diversity.

>One thing I struggle with is what is the 'right' price for a bitcoin. How do you calculate that?

Do you think Bitcoin is money?

Then the right price is simple: The amount of goods you can buy for 1 hour of labour should be equal between USD and BTC. If you can buy an apple pie for $5USD, then you should be able to buy a pie with $5USD in BTC. The problem is no one is actually selling anything in BTC in the real world.

If you think Bitcoin is money, you shouldn't be "making money" off it anymore than buying another currency in USD. The fact that it is increasing exponentially in price is a bug, not a feature.
So, if we can't trust their memories in those occasions (which I agree is problematic), why are we trusting them with doing their jobs under such conditions?

I'd like to add that it might not be that all events happened under strenuous (personal) situations (and who knows how much evidence like recordings or other stuff might have been buried)
> I'd love to start a business but I rely on my employer to give me health insurance and money to pay for rent and food

I understand if you don't "get it", but this is the reality for most entrepreneurs who start companies. The only difference from them to you is that they start despite the reality, and you don't. If you want to learn more, read up on what AirBnB guys had to do to survive in the early days.

I'm not writing this to offend you, I am just stating the fact, hoping that this would encourage you if you were made to believe otherwise all your life.

This comes from my own experience and many of my friends who are founders. I know of many friends who have lived off of couchsurfing (or lived off of someone else's closet, i'm not making this up) until their company took off. I know this may sound like a fiction but just want to let you know that this world does exist, it's just that the rest of the world (including those journalists and many people on HN with comfy life) don't know and will never understand why they do it.
It's morally good to fulfil promises - why not do contracting for these two clients - see how you like it, after a while figure out if you want to and can find a way expand the business, or find another w2? You could tell your current employer you promised these guys, so you want to do it for a while, and ask if the $200k can be delayed 6 months? You can ask your employer - Surely they aren't wanting to pay you money to break people's trust?

How wrong was Robet Nozick in his argument about the Experience Machine [0].

For me,

#1 people, as I want to work with people who care about what they are doing, and want to work with people I like working with. My strategy for that is to ask for private discussion with future colleague before accepting the job. Then I ask what they like in the job and what they don't like, how they work, what is boring and what is not, why they stay / why they would leave.

#2 continuous improvement : I want everyone to be concerned by documentation, automation, best practices, fixing root cause of issues rather than consequences. I want to work with people who have sufficient balls to say 'No' to stupid orders and take the time to improve something rather than using quick and dirty solutions. I want to see rights decisions being taken.

#3 focus: a good place to work is a place where we can concentrate, and where context switching and interruptions are avoided by everyone.

#4 flexibility, transparency and trust : I want to be able to work without wasting too much time with processes, interruptions, lack of permissions etc. a place where we can trust people enough to give them the ability to give their best and have control on the how-to. everyone should be able to see the important decisions. There should not be room for information hiding and obscurity. People should be able to tell what is not ok without being afraid to be fired

#5 strategy : a place where strategy is clear, everyone work together and have a common language, a common set of best practices they follow, the know why they do stuff, they are all aware of company decisions and strategy, why some decisions are taken, and decisions make sense (no need to waste time and money on useless process and tools that are counter productive)

#6 learning : a good place to learn new hard and soft skills

#7 extra advantages : laptop, internet, home working, transportation, pay, trainings etc help to decide between multiple jobs opportunities
We always had our generators cycle on once a week for 20 minutes or so without assuming load. You don't want the (in our case propane) engines sitting too long without being run.
FDA announces new market pathway for genetic health risk tests
Just like any retailer who makes and delivers a sale over the internet without physical verification the issuers of credit should be held liable. this will mean getting instant credit for purchases and such will be very difficult but that is the price the lenders need to pay for the risk of having, not the consumer.

perhaps they will need to partner with local banks and such. I don't care. by default they should not be able to issue credit where the liability is on the consumer until physical verification is complete
Depends what you’re comparing. Gross economic force of two entities? Raw GDP; Quality of life? GDP-PPP/capita is better.

Private citizens don’t generally get to threaten governments by moving abroad to withold their taxes — and even when they do (I kinda am!) it’s so completely irrelevant it isn’t worth the government’s time to bother to check if it’s actually happening or just a loudmouth blowing off steam by saying they will.
I don’t buy the argument that Core opposed Segwit2x because it threatens Blockstream’s business model or influence in the community.

First of all, if Segwit2x did succeed then Core could swallow their pride and simply update Bitcoin Core’s consensus rules to match btc1’s, and I think most users would prefer to continue to run Core.

Second, if Bitcoin is eventually widely used it would need more than doubling of the block size to scale, even with sidechains or LN. Also, scaling isn’t the only use for sidechains.

Third, many of Blockstream’s founders and team are long-time Bitcoiners and cypherpunks. I’d like to believe they would not compromise Bitcoin for the benefit of their company alone, but perhaps that’s naïve.
Because people have high expectations from life but low willingness to accept and adapt. So they'll rent a fake to cut corners.

> It's strange that a national sport is not played more.

It's a cultural thing. After college, you're expected to grow up, get a job, start a career, make a name for yourself and, once you're 'successful', marry and have kids. There aren't a lot of adult leagues in the US. There are a few in large cities, but nothing like what exists in most of Europe, the UK and Australia.

I've thought about creating one in my small, rural corner of the country. You'd think finding funding would be the hardest part. It's not. The hardest part is finding enough adults who want to play on a regular basis. I'd probably have better luck if I was in a larger city.
compared to other dedicated Server Hardware, not talking about business Cloud Infrastructure, no idea about that.

Sry if that caused confusion

Rediff: Kickstarter for open source semantic diff tool
Equipment costs aside, gridiron is a very position-centric game. It's difficult for 22 random people to start a recreational pick up game.

Players are rarely trained in more than one or two positions and winning certain matchups are heavily dependent on the height and size of that player being within an optimal range for that position.

Casual backyard football will often be played as 4 on 4 or 7 on 7 but that takes away the line play which IMO is the most unique and cerebral aspect of American football.
10 tips I wish I had known before I started testing
waiting for the rule 34...
OK, I'll bite.

I take milder prescription opiates just for fun on rare occasion. That's percocet these days, codeine back in the day.

Only opportunistically though, if I have some left over from a medical reason or someone offers me some. Even then, it's very infrequently. I currently have around 12 percocets that have been sitting around, untouched, for a couple of months now.

I usually don't feel like just lying around and staring at the TV with my mouth open, hence I don't take them. One day though I'm sure I will feel exactly like doing that, at which point might as well add some opiates to make it quite a bit more enjoyable. I usually like to take 2 or 3 with a moderate amount of alcohol, they have a synergistic effect together.

I first tried it around 17, and that was almost 20 years ago. We're talking relatively few occasions over all that time: 0-2 occasions most years, some years more like 4-6, and rarely if ever 6+. I've never seeked it out on the black market or anything; the cost would not be close to worth it, I think. I don't know how much exactly, but surely several times more than medical, where I paid $10 for 20 pills.

I didn't stop, I just don't feel like doing them, most of the time. I have had issues with addiction to other things in the past, but not with these.

That being said, they are quite mild compared to OxyContin, which I think is what most addicts are taking. (Same substance, oxycodone, but much lower dose.) Never tried that stuff but I bet it is a LOT easier to get into trouble with those.
Well, Hetzner for example.
Some people do perceive smooth scrolling as annoying, but for the most part what he's referring to was because of JavaScript ScrollEventHandlers being run in between the user moving their mouse wheel and the page actually scrolling.

This was fixed with Asynchronous Panning and Zooming (APZ) which moves the webpage and runs the ScrollEvents in parallel on different processes.

Helmet to helmet hits are incredibly rare in casual play (and illegal!). Most of the arguments against Football only apply to Pro and College where people are getting paid millions of dollars. When that much money is on the line, of course people are going to be ridiculously competitive, even to the point of injuring others intentionally. I've yet to see that kind of behavior in high school or semi-pro ball.
Ask an addict.

Even simpler, put some chocolate biscuits on a plate in view of where you sit and attempt to avoid the action of indulging.

You can short Bitcoin (with respect to USD or other cryptos, but I assume you're interested in shorting BTCUSD) on pretty much all the bigger exchanges. Bitfinex offers it, Kraken too. You'll have to pay a lending fee for the BTC that you short on Bitfinex, which differs depending on the current short-to-long ratio (more people shorting = higher lending fees) and which can get quite high in extreme cases, so long-term shorting on Bitfinex can become an expensive endeavour. Kraken on the other hand has a fixed fee for open short positions, which is quite affordable also in the long term, but they have a limit on the amount of BTC shorts that they allow to exist concurrently on their platform, so it's possible that you can't open any more shorts until someone else closes his positions.

Shorting can be quite lucrative, especially during bear phases. However, you can just as easily burn your fingers - I did quickly earn a nice 4-figure amount shorting ETH (and some BTC) in the middle of the year, during the first bear phase, but I got caught up during the bull phases afterwards, since I expected a pattern more closer to the bursting of the 2013 crypto bubble which was an overall bear, but with bull phases in between. This time it was an overall bull phase with short bear phases in between, and by the time I accepted my fail, I had lost all my nice shorting proceeds (and quite a bit more, but made up for that easily with price appreciations of cold storage cryptos, so I'm at least net positive now).

Shorting is king when the overall pattern is a bearish one, but when it's not clearly bearish, you've been better off longing at good entry points, as cryptos have historically been more likely to grow in price than to shrink. But as always...past market trends are no useful indicator for future trends.
You can't calculate it. There is no right price.

But damn, the price has increased by 10^5 since I started using Bitcoin. Looking back, it's been a pretty steady exponential. Looking forward, I have no clue.

Bottom line, don't bet more than you can stand to lose.

The answer to the title's question is in the last paragraph of the article.

> What is an effective technique for examining how many papillae someone has in a given area of the tongue? All of them involve darkening it, and the most enjoyable is to swirl red wine in the mouth and over the tongue. If done correctly, you will be able to see little lumps of tissue on the tongue that are the papillae. Next, take a piece of three-hole notebook paper. The punched holes are about 6 or so millimeters in diameter, and a piece of paper torn off with one of these holes can be placed over the darkened tongue. Now simply count the number of papillae you see in the punched hole. If you have fewer than 4 papillae, you are more than likely a nontaster, whereas from 4 to 8 papillae would suggest that you are a taster. Anything over 8 would indicate that you are a supertaster or a super-supertaster.
