i know meditation has a very calming effect on mind and body hence letting go any tension in our muscles and thoughts.

but meditating on my own din yield any result for me as i felt the same before and after meditation except for very minor mind level improvement which faded away in mins.

but i started trying guided meditation with help of audio and you tube and apps and they seem to give some good effect. but still not something that surprised me.

but later i stumbled upon this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fitness22....

just try the body scan and sleep in the single sessions and u ll know for yourself it leaves a lasting effect both at mind and body level.

one day i got sever headache at 10 am and din know what to do and then i tried body scan and in 20 mins suddenly somehow i felt very relieved and the pain became negligible and disappeared.

other day i felt so tired on eve at 5 pm and then i tried body scan and i felt a boostof energy and some unknown pain in my body like ankles and legs came to my awareness and then when i focused on those areas and try to relax them it became well.

i am not able to follow it regularly but am trying to but i use the sleep one every day before i sleep and it really is like a disconnect from the day and a portal into night for me.

they even have 20, 14 n 7 mins version... i always go for 20 mins as i use it when i have some discomfort but u can experiment with others as u like.
Yep! And I really wish this concept (of bringing together all of those properties, and exploring some of the resulting structures) was taught (specifically including the introduction of the term "group") in high school algebra. I think that would reduce a lot of the friction between learning secondary and post-secondary mathematics.
True. But it's also possible that this a deliberate attack carried out by an actor other than the Cuban government.
I think raiblocks is closer to solving what iota is claiming to solve.
I agree that boring is good, but that doesn't mean you enjoy the problem. To me, enjoying your job means you would do it even if you didn't have to (i.e. already have enough money).

Maybe I operate on the wrong definition. :)
FWIW, it appears the current plan is to not continue it as a standalone app but turn it into a redis module: https://gist.github.com/antirez/a3787d538eec3db381a41654e214...
That yearbook is the only physical evidence presented yet it seems to be forgery. That doesn't bode well for the veracity of the allegations from that accuser or the level of due diligence offered by Gloria Allred.
I've never been a bigger believer in this than now: recently had several conversations with lawyers hired to advise my company. Every single statement they made was hedged to protect themselves in the event they were wrong. They would only tell me what the law said by including copies of the actual law text. They would not directly answer questions about how the law can be interpreted based on case law and other precedents. Their only value was in providing the law text slightly faster and more conveniently than I could do so myself. Their chief concern seems to be protecting themselves from any blame, not protecting their client.
Birds?
Berlin is a bit odd because of the huge changes in the last few years in companies starting offices here and the influx of VC funding.

SoundCloud for example, had a bunch of engineers earning around that. Probably all laid off now, though.

There are companies on StackOverflow jobs openly advertising €80-90k for senior developers now, and occasionally over 100k for specialist roles like ML or performance sensitive development in C++.
I don't disagree but I don't see why your statement is relevant. Other than to maybe point out the unhappiness that comes with a capitalistic system?

You can mute your computer and go to the bathroom while watching youtube or amazon video. You've lost none of the rights that you had with the tv.

It's a terrible analogy that people should stop using in this debate. You can debate about whether it's good business on their part. You can debate about whether they should force drm onto your computer. But you can't reasonably debate that just because it's on the web they shouldn't be allowed enter into a financial exchange with consumers and that they shouldn't be able to refuse to do business with people who do not wish to enter into that exchange with them.
As a final note we’d like to thank the BoringSSL developers for the great work they poured into the project and for the help they provided us along the way.

Seems like they are working pretty close together and got something out of the deal as well.
Couldn't we beam energy from outerspace/moon as lasers to cooled facilities that absorb/store the energy? How else would a dyson sphere work to get energy to the planet without obliterating it?

"We don't use the 100 points of ID system of course, because we're an online service.

Right, but you said you're a 'great fan' of it. My reading of the wikipedia description that you linked suggests that the system is wholly inadequate (mainly as you can satisfy the 100 points without photo ID).

So I'd like to know: are you really a fan of that system (the particulars of its rules), or just a fan of the idea behind it (that there exists a consistent set of rules)?

>During that four year period, I took only 3 courses that actually helped me in life

>What should you do instead of going to college? Use the internet for your education.

Many places require a minimum of a bachelors for a 'job'. The internet may have better resources, but is not sufficient in terms of certification in today's society. Your later points attempt to rebut this argument with I do think that more and more employers are like me though. in the sense they do not require a degree.

>I also strongly recommend finding whatever career you want, then offering yourself as free labor – “unpaid intern” – for a year to apprentice with someone doing the job you want. You will learn all the practical skills of the work very rapidly and actually see if you like the field quickly.

>But won’t you be missing out on the great networking of college? If by great networking, you mean hanging out with people with no jobs or purpose who spend most of their time drinking, sure.

Social skills? You choose your friends and there plenty who obtain internships while still in college. Drinking responsibly is not wrong either.

Because said people are often trying to use the force of law to stop you calling your burger a burger.

You can say what you like at home or even in public (and reveal your prejudices to the world), but when it comes to using the state to enforce inequality that's a different matter.
Microsoft launches low-code platform to speed enterprise IoT development
FYI microsoft.com has an EV certificate.

Google.com has a OV certificate, where identity is matched to google.com but this isn't shown in the browser. it's a similar level of verification as EV but without the UI. Note Google have a lot of user generated content (eg, AMP sites) hosted on google.com

One reason (surely not the only one) why decriminalization is rarely talked about is that a large fraction of those who do not fall into the "war in drugs" camp are far too preoccupied talking about legalization.

The fate of all middle ground positions. (Not to be confused with compromises, that are far too often the combination of the worst of each, because that somehow seems to help both sides to save face)
I've caused friction in my core gaming group for playing certain built-in characters in co-op games. To the point where it was mandated that we restart and lose hours of progress just so I switch characters.

That's exactly what I said when someone wanted to know how to get RISC-V way up there in clock rate or single-threaded. The other possibility was semi-custom job at AMD or something. Just implement it in microcode with a little extra hardware if necessary. Reuse tens to hundreds of millions of silicon development. If not high in single-threaded but open, I suggested using Leon3 GPL for fast development or OpenSPARC for lots of cores. OpenPITON already taped out a 25-core chip on 32nm SOI based on OpenSPARC. Many academics used Leon for designs whether taping out or not.

IBM is different, though, in that they have a legacy system effect. Their locked-in customers are where this money is coming from. That's why they keep making the stuff to sell for exhorbitant rates. They really need to create different tiers of pricing justifying it by saying the firmware or whole stack is optimized for this, that, etc. If it's gravy train business, that optimized stack is priced at the fortune the marketing team says it's worth. If it's not (i.e. Raptor or RISC-V), it gets a steep discount just to encourage more adoption with associated software porting. They seem too dumb to do this.
I believe they have an audio recording of the sound, suggesting it's not purely a brain activation/attack.

Interesting tech but the consumer products example is broken to me because I don't want to be throwing out even more plastic.
I wonder if those deaths are accounted in the accidental death statistics.

Regardless, it would be interesting to know if there was data on the effect on suicide when you get increased gun control. The data for suicide that I have seen seems to imply that the availability of guns would increase the suicide rate for men, which is also the biggest demographic for suicide victims.
Using Facets in a Couchbase NoSQL Full Text Search Query with Node.js
Mmm, those people would continue to exist even if they didn't need to work to support fiat. And I don't buy the fact that not having banking jobs would affect the overall population all that much. If you really want an apples to apples comparison you'd need to find numbers for:

- Energy required to harvest and process hard currency
- Energy required to run the servers that support electronic transactions for fiat

Then divide that by the overall value of fiat vs bitcoin to see how costly they are per unit of value
this seems like a strawman, because it doesn't accurately represent the statement.
And the remembering is done by means of a list on your phone. When you run out, add it to the list. When you're at the store, check the list.

Not techy enough for ya? Think of it as preserving state and passing it across time from "the you who knows" (senses a need) to "the you who does" (is at the store). Or as asynchronous communication with yourself.
How can you hack something without software, electronics, and memory?
It could be that these were unintended side effects of something else they were trying to do.

Perh they were testing some new surveillance or countersurveillance tech but things didn't work out as planned, snafus and of course they got outed by the obvious effects or side effects.

It would be hard to believe the resulting effects were deliberate. The actions yes, but not how they worked out.

While rather impressive it sounds like a huge security problem to me.

With machine learning someone could probably train models that know what you are doing in your home.
Then, maybe, the problem lies elsewhere.
I'm not sure that these tendencies are entirely effective in the modern era.
We could build fusion reactors (mini-suns) in space and beam back the energy in a usable state more condensed than solar to recepticles here, or even store it in batteries that we send back via space elevator.

Cuba is an incredibly undervalued asset. They have a well educated population, resources and are a political gateway to Latin America, which is an incredibly valuable, undervalued market.

European software developers seem to be insultingly underpaid. I suspect it's more cultural than economic, and relates to the relative status of the profession in the EU.

I know the total costs of an employee are higher in the EU, but are they really 2x - 4x? Top companies in the US offer pretty robust (expensive) benefits, including healthcare. What would make the total cost of a dev in the EU getting paid $42k equal to the total cost of a US employee getting $121k (and total cost of $150k - 175k)?
STLtoday keeps a database of how much the teachers make in the Missouri school systems, while its not entirely accurate when you talk to teachers (sometimes the data is super stale, sometimes they have other 'responsibilities/commmities' that offer more money) I always felt wrong being able to look at it when they could not look at mine.

> The EU's record-breaking fine against Google was the first of three.

I just had a look at Alphabet's stock graph from this year. I couldn't tell from it when the fine happened. So I guess they can afford another two of those.

> There is a point where the EU may have to take steps beyond fines, and bar Google from doing business in... effectively, an entire continent.

I doubt that we're anywhere near that point. Google is way too important, I also guess that the population wouldn't like everything-Google gone.

Google could even threaten to brick all Android phones in the EU, no one would risk that.
I've actually semi-automated this in the past by having Amazon ship me products on a regular schedule. Pricewise, though, it makes more sense to just make a quarterly trip to Costco and load up the storage closet.
Those other 400 sources probably make up a very small part of the actual search results.
But generating that much energy requires a huge piece of equipment. For example, the unit used for the ablative technique you linked to is quite large and works only at very short distances.

Yes, conductors and any kind of musicians will have a unified performer page or at least tag page that containes all their recordings. Since conductors can be players at some performances. Also soloists can be conductors which happens frequently for classical era concertos.
Ah, maybe. But I think a title is a risky thing to make into a joke, especially in this day and age (clicks), if it obfuscates its own meaning.
I read it as the following: "If you offer a machine that has N times the performance of the current industry standard machine, it should cost cost kN times the current industry standard machine where k < 1".

That is, there's no incentive to pay the cost of switching if you don't save any money in the longer term. And that "longer term" is usually but a few years.

Laplace transform[1]. Starting with a signal in the time domain, you can take the Fourier transform to map it into the frequency domain and then the Laplace transform (Z-transform[2]) to map it into discrete time domain. Discrete time is what digital computers do. At this point implementing the control loop on a digital computer is remarkably straight forward.

Taking your system's closed loop transfer function[3], you can use the above Laplace and Z-transforms to produce the desired closed loop control algorithm to "optimally" control your system. (I put "optimally" in quotes because it is optimum for the system as defined; if your understanding / definition of your system is wrong, it will be optimally controlling for a different system and be suboptiomal for your actual system.)

It requires a custom 3D-printed "device" on the door, which would modulate the Wi-Fi waves being scattered around (by your router, laptop, etc) into a signal that would indicate "open" or "closed".
This is very true, IF you can get over the psychology. I passed 5y of savings and investments a long time ago, but my relationship with money changes dramatically depending on whether I have good cash flow or not.
It's usually quite obvious if you know where to look. The articles usually start with some trend or other and the source in question gets inserted 1-5 paragraphs later. Either the CEO gets quoted or the brand gets mentioned or research from the institution gets quoted (if it's a think tank).

Bearing that in mind, if you read, say, this article (currently at the top of BBC news 'capital' section), it ought to be fairly clear which institution was responsible for its existence:

I've noticed that pointing out PR sources for stories submitted on Hacker News story comments tends to attract aggressive downvoting and flaggings though.
High-pay software developers aren't going to tolerate living in a place where there's exactly one employer willing to pay them what they're worth. They give up way too much negotiating power to do so. It's much more in their interest to live somewhere that they can walk out the door of Facebook on Friday and in the door of Google on Monday.
What are the best books to learn about demanded and most impactful techonology?
I am trying to create a reading list for the semester break. Some of the books I am reading are Hands On Machine Learning with Sci-kit Learn and Tensorflow, and maybe some more general books like the Master Algorithm. I was hoping someone would give me some names of books on a similar thread, that would really improve my learning. Some of the topics I am interested in are Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Engineering, Machine Learning, Android Development. I am always open to new inspiration so any books you like is welcome for suggestion.

Isn't this exactly the problem we're seeing in sexual harassment and sexaul assault cases outside of politics, though?

Simply put, some institutions have judged that the pros of keeping a sexual harasser around outweigh the cons. For example, the Uber harassers were swept under a rug by HR because they were "high performers."

Git has been design with decentralized development in mind. It is decentralized by design ... Many user use git in a centralized maner (with github for instance like the old svn and so on ...) but it doesn't make the git core a centralized tool.

A lot of your arguments re: EV are dead on, but they're not to do with the concept of verifying certificate owners (EV), but rather browser implementation issues.

Eg, you see an improtant update to a ToS you need to accept or a service you use will be stopped. You click the link, log in, and your browser says...

For DV:

> This is the first time you've visited this site. The owner has been verified as amazon.com

or, for EV:

> This is the first tim you've visited this site. The owner has been verified as Apple, Inc.

for a DV phishing cert

> This is the first tim you've visited this site. The owner has been verified as www.google.com-swag.ph

Unfortunately browsers don't make certificate information available to users, and are uninterested in whether users understand what they're connecting to (https://certsimple.com/blog/browser-security-indicators).

The same thing applies to mobile Chrome poor identity display compared to mobile Safari.

This doesn't mean we should stop verifying pubkeys with EV. It means browsers should improve their UI or let others do so.
Why are we still calling it SSL? It's like saying Telnet whenever you refer to SSH.

Also: it seems like there's no release or commit signing, unless I missed it? So couldn't you just compromise one user, or commit bot, or git repo location, and basically own all TLS that Cloudflare uses, effectively owning like half of the internet?
