A couple years after I moved to Seattle I started noticing some odd aches and pains. After a coworker had similar issues, I went to the doctor, and they tested my Vitamin D levels. They were ridiculously low. They had me on a high initial dose, and than taking supplements ever since. I've heard the same story from tons of neighbors. Nowadays it's one of my first suggestions for new transplants. It's made a marked difference (along with a sunlamp).
They do this in the SF Bay area, it's called casual carpool. Very popular in the East Bay. I used to do it for many years, both as a driver and passenger. It's all about getting past the Bay Bridge toll plaza, and the carpool lane goes way faster than the (sometimes horribly) backed up traffic. The FastTrac lanes aren't any good when it gets so backed up.

Yes there are myriad unspoken rules, and hilarious stories about when they are flagrantly violated. But over the years I've had some great rides, met some wonderful people, discovered some new music, and generally enjoyed the experience of intermixing with fellow humanity in a random but mutually beneficial way.
If you intend to take vitamin d I read in various places you should also take magnesium and probably vitamin k as well. And less calcium. Everything is interconnected.

a regular sunlamp? They are UV-A and don't help with Vit D at all

You need a UV-B one which doesn't tan - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004NOPC9S/

Yes - we bought 1.5 megabyte of core for our Burroughs 6700 in the late 70s, we paid NZ$1M for ours (in those days ~US$1.25M, before the Muldoon NZ$ crash of the mid 80s)

I need to prototype a bunch of web pages quickly. Actual minimally interactive web pages with decent layouts where I can wedge some JS in, but I don't want to waste time cooking HTML and CSS stuff. Thanks
Stroustrup invented C++ and he's actively developing and designing it.

He also almost exclusively talks and writes about C++, he's not telling you anything about integration tests.

You just seem ignorant by including his name on that list.
If "Google says Progressive Web Apps are the future of app-like webpages."

Then why do the chrome website auditing tools promote progressive web apps as the first analytic for the performance of a page. Surely only a small subset of webpages are going to be 'app-like'.
An interesting contrast is Japan, where the highway system was totally privatized, and to get almost anywhere you have to pay tolls. A 300 km (280 mi) drive can cost you 6000 yen ($50) in tolls.

Of course in Japan there are usually alternatives. Not always any cheaper though. The bullet train for the same route as above costs 9000 yen, but is 3x faster than driving.

So what exactly do you propose? I agree that yes drug dealers and likes don’t stop selling drugs or killing people because of prison sentence. But they are afraid of cops because they prefer not to get locked up.

Likewise capital punishment does not prevent or lower murderer rate. There is no correlation at all.

So we have to seperate prevention and fear. The fear that you’d have to go to jail is the reason why punishment exists. we want people to know their actions are always held accountable in the perfect system - but unfortunately not.....

Prevention is education and make sure every community has a fair balance of income - a poor community is of course going to have a high crime in theory.
Right, so you have high insolation for some number of days. This provides heat at a rate of 300-500 W/m2 at peak, but that peak drops off, so the average insolation over the course of the year is low in polar areas. This is a positive feedback of open water (albedo ~.1 vs ice ~.6) and is limited by the duration of high insolation over open water. The maximum insolation is at the summer solstice (June) when there has been a smaller decline in arctic ice area (10%? http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-i...) By the date of low ice extent in September, the sun is getting pretty low for polar areas (low angle, low duration, low insolation - see the equinox data in your link: http://www.applet-magic.com/insolation.htm)

Open water loses heat much more rapidly than ice-covered water, with the rate dependent on temperature, wind speed, etc. One study found open water heat flux was about 250 W/m2 vs 75 for ice pack in March/April (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/94JC02485/abstrac...). I didn't find references to give averages or graphs over a year.

However long the ocean remains open, it radiates excess heat at an increased rate vs ice pack - a negative feedback of open water, limited by the area and duration of open water.
Doing everything on device is cheaper than running a large service, and exposes you to less risk. Ingesting a billion photos a day and running say, ML on them server side is more expensive than having the consumer pay for it on their local device.

It's unlikely any online service they can come up with from data will come close to their iPhone business, so it would mostly be a cost and distraction and a risk. That's why I say, investing in differential privacy or running photo recognition on device is a much smaller effort than scaling out a billion user service.

That's not to say what they're doing is bad, but I don't think it's a brave stand, and I don't buy it as a principled stand, because of the complete silence on China, not just obeying the government actions, but not even verbally protesting them -- even in Western media.

In the US, Apple, if compelled by an FBI warrant to hand over data, would do it, but would publicly resist and complain about it. Not only does Apple comply with Chinese demands, they don't even dare criticize the Chinese government or resist in any way. This to me is selling your soul for marketshare.

And Tim Cook's appearance at the Wuzhen conference extolling China's "open" internet just made him look like a tool.

On page 242:5, it explicitly says that it doesn't send new packets.

> In our case, the backscatter signal is a
narrowband transmission embedded on top of the ambient Wi-Fi
signals, since the printed Wi-Fi objects send data at a low data rate.

Even your quoted text doesn't say that it sends packets IMO.
That's certainly true, but that's also clearly not what was being talked about. The problem was (easier) avoiding choosing bases to perform a construction, and (harder) avoiding assuming all vector spaces have bases. Using bases that you directly contruct isn't something anyone ever really has reason to avoid. (And really, neither is the second in the finite-dimensional case, but hey, may as well if you can, right?)
The issue is this: being banned is a certainty, the decision is simple; being asked to pay a variable price, once you go there as a captive (you're already chosen to take that road, say) is forcing you into an uninformed decision. Of course people would be pissed, what's hard to understand?
I haven't compared it to TPL Dataflow however made some pure performance measurements. The results are at the end of this:

Basically Go# can pass millions of messages in a second.

And yes, a Go#/Go channel is similar to something like BufferBlock however both are designed to fit into different "ecosystem" and way of thinking.

Go# channels are thread safe and have been designed to operate in parallel environment.
From a comment below: "It should go without saying that this strategy should be used only when it's reasonable".

Minor relevancy? They would have improved in character if they owned it when exposed and accepted whatever would be their fate. That is being moral.

Going on a concerted effort to deny their actions, diminish the victims, delegitimatise the media and further divide people IS NOT MORAL.

I hope you change your stupid point of view, it's just that: stupid.
> [D and] B12. Folks, get both of these checked.

Yes, please. I'm spreading this news for years. Many are deficient in both. B12 has a name for being low in veg*ans, while that is true many omnis are deficient as well.

It's good to have more papers published on "high-dose D3". But by what I read this has been know for many years.

And shun multi-AZ tablets, they provide a false sense of security. Eat loads of fresh produce and beans, that should help with most of your nutrition needs. Shun dairy and processed foods -- they kill you. Limit (or drop) meat, fish and eggs. Finally you want to eat a brazil nut every day for your selenium.

Supplement D3 and B12. Possibly (after doing your research) iodine, iron, high-DHA omega 3.
GDPR in the EU grants authorities ability to fine businesses €20 million or 4% of global revenue, whichever is greatest, when they have a data breach where neglect played a role. I imagine that a fine of similar proportion will have some effect on other companies to not do it. The risk is too great.
I'm a big user of NewPipe. They have features for free that the YouTube app would make you pay for, such as listening to audio only in the background, removing ads. Plus many other useful features such as having a scaled down video display in front of other apps and downloading video/audio to listen later offline.
And that feeds into the wider question of whether bitcoin is a medium of exchange or a commodity. At this point in time it is clearly the latter. You wouldn't swap a lump of copper for a game on Steam, so it makes no sense to swap a lump of bitcoin either
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If you’re not giving out waivers to those with the need, then you’re actually treating the waiver as part of the compensation for being a graduate assistant, and it should be taxed.
Also MSP430.
Tolls change routing decisions. If you can't gauge a toll until you are at the road because it keeps changing, that's a risk. Dynamic tolling asks people to take a risk; that will never work unless they do like Uber and fix the price at the time you leave. It's only fair that the planning risk should fall on the central traffic manager, as they have the most information and capabilities.

> CC numbers I'd probably overlook, since you can't really mess with someone's life by stealing their CC number. They just get refunded

This doesn't happen in my parts of the world (Eastern European country) where most of the people still use debit-cards. Card cloning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_fraud#Skimming) is a frequent crime around here, and it absolutely and negatively affects those who end up on the wrong side of it all (i.e. the card-holders). A former friend of mine had her money stolen from her bank account when someone had cloned her card and the procedure of her getting the money back was to go to the police, file a police report, and then go to the bank and complain about it with said police report in hand and hoping that she'd receive a refund in the next 6 months.
Why would anyone ever want to use a market order versus a limit? In any exchange, for any kind of trading? If you're really ok with e.g. selling for 0.01, set that as your limit.

But who said increasing of serum levels of Vitamin D by pills intake will decrease mortality??

What about side effects of such massive UNCONDITIONAL top-down recommendations?
I have been taking 5000IU Vitamin D for the past 7 years, with a little more over the winter months. It's stupidly cheap, I get 360 5000IU capsules for $13, so it has cost me less than $100 over that period.

Anecdotally, it was a game changer for me personally. I got less sick during the winter, and my overall wellbeing improved greatly.

A word of advice, increase Vitamin K intake aswell. Vitamin D helps calcium absorption, but Vitamin K directs it to where it needs to go (skeleton).

Don't put words in my mouth, because that's sg that only YOU said.

And, no, it's not exaggeration. It's common sense.
Yeah, I’m aware of the numerics... but I’m also aware that if you do the same process backwards (naive numerical integration), for example for simulating planetary motions, you get into ridiculous situations where the collective momentum of a closed system rises exponentially after a ”close flyby”. This is precisely the kind of situation where ”false intuition” created by these shallow teachings cause the most harm.

Road capacity is a scarce resource, and it should be allocated with a market mechanism like every other resource. You can then take the economic gain created by the increased efficiency and tax it to provide more public transit services.

One thing that weirded me out was if you buy stuff in the physical store and use a card you linked online to pay the stuff you bought shows up on your Walmart.com account. I understand the appeal but I wasn't expecting that.

Overall I've been pleased with Walmart.com.
We've had decades of soft touch corporate fines that haven't done shit to curb bad behaviour (see: banks), those punishments are utterly ineffective.

Giving execs who order criminal acts jail time will be far more effective. Just you watch - VW will absolutely colour between the lines now.

It's easy to gamble when it's the house's money on the table, but when the instigators face real punishment they'll sharpen right up.
ok :) Then again the problem is where you put the bar, if only there was an easy way...
I think you make an interesting point, ml models and algorithms are two different things.

I also think it's reasonable to ask for a model so you can test and validate it yourself.

Me and my roommates did this as well. We did it so much that one of my roommates actually got a legally threatening letter from on of the companies behind most of them (Trilegent I think it was) telling him to stop because he was abusing the system. Which was funny because they were so scammy to begin with.

This is really going to hurt Windows users who do not want to use .exe or Windows 10 apps, which are both very heavy and less secure when it comes to https or remote content loading compared to Chrome Apps (Windows UWP in this case).

Ask HN: What advice you give to survive in IT after certain experience?
After some experience I feel my career is stagnant. During my carrer I went only deep in the technology (only one language and only my area). I work mostly in iOS.

Should I learn front end and other technologies and go wide?

What advice you give in this tensed time in IT. The competition is growing and it is hard to find the better pay jobs. Lot of companies not giving high money in my area.

However the article doesn't describe any new research and cites a meta-analysis that has a different conclusion:

"A target range of 25(OH)D of greater than 30 ng/mL could be achieved in most individuals by intake of approximately 1000 IU per day of vitamin D3, which is one quarter the National Academy of Sciences–Institute of Medicine tolerable upper level of intake of 4000 IU per day at ages 9 years and older. Although it is above the National Academy of Sciences–Institute of Medicine–recommended daily allowance of 600 to 800 IU per day, intake of 1000 IU per day has been reported as safe for daily use for almost all adults, according to the recent Endocrine Society clinical guidelines. Still, some authors have expressed concern about the efficacy and absolute safety of doses greater than 1000 IU per day, so caution is reasonable. The Endocrine Society has established a tolerable upper-limit intake of 10 000 IU per day at ages 19 years and older. Doses of vitamin D3 below 10 000 IU per day in adults have not been associated with toxicity, and serum 25(OH)D concentrations less than 200 ng/mL are generally not considered toxic. This leaves a considerable margin of safety for efforts to raise the population concentration of 25(OH)D to 40 ng/mL."

Emphasis on "soft touch". The punishment amounts of money are often very small compared to the profit gained.

In the EU, fines can be expressed as a percentage of annual revenue. So imagine something strict enough to work. I'm sure a fine of 25% of annual global revenue for 10 years would put a lot of pressure where it needs to be, for example.

Good for them that they can spend bitcoin cash without people noticing.
Never heard anyone have that problem. You're in minority so please don't speak like this is some major problem.
> This doesn't happen in my parts of the world (Eastern European country) where most of the people still use debit-cards.

In Netherlands banks are still responsible, no matter debit or credit card. It's pretty common for the bank to have refunded someone before the customer notices anything.

The skimming bit only worked super easily with the swipe system. With the chip it reduced the amount of fraud considerably. Plus they only allow the card to be used in Europe by default (you can easily change this setting in any bank).

People now moved to social engineering (pretending to be the bank and telling people to transfer money).
It's not a study. It's an article that cites other studies.
Agreed. Some prison time seems warranted but 7 years seems harsh, even considering what he did was very bad and harmful to a lot of people. (But Americans simply love prison, apparently).

The ones who are getting off easily, IMHO, are the regulators. Their job would be to make sure cars respect emissions limits in all contexts, and that would mean actively testing the cars in many different configurations.

How is it possible that it never occurred to anyone there, to test cars in real-world conditions, just to make sure the results they were getting weren't contaminated by the normal testing setup?

This is utter intellectual laziness and should incur some kind of reprimand.

Or maybe regulators should hire Mr Schmidt and put him in charge of future testing. He would know what to look for.
It seems rather reasonable for the United States to prosecute Germans for defrauding the US government and evading US air pollution law in order to sell their cars in the United States.
