I have been diagnosed with borderline high bp (around 140/90, sometimes a bit lower, sometimes higher) 5 years ago and tried everything to reverse it, as the Doctor did not want to put me on meds so early. Lost 10kg (BMI 23.5), 60km of cycling a week, 2x exercise a week, reasonably good diet, no smoking, little alcohol.

From all those measures my BP did not improve a lot, the systolic is nowadays mostly okay, but i seem to have a problem with the diastolic bp which is often in the 90-95 range. Right now i am undergoing more checks again and will probably resort to meds now, which i wanted to avoid (which otherwise healthy, fit 35 year old wants to start taking bp meds) but it seems like i can't and i don't want to damage myself more than i already have.

Until now, no real cause has been found, it could even be some nervous disorder because of high stress times i had in the past, but nobody knows. I also have no family history of high bp, so it still puzzles me and freaks me out to the point i got an underlying anxiety.

If losing weight etc. does not help much, also get your kidneys and thyroid checked. I have some kidney checks coming up and it freaks me out...

The good thing is that it made me a lot more conscious of what i eat, drink and do, i just wish i would have monitored it earlier because i don't even know when it started.
I'd assume that these processors use the same 'race to sleep' philosophy that Intel CPUs have been using for a while, which would mean that peak power draw would be requested very frequently in short bursts.

The degree of throttling that seems to be occurring does seem to be quite excessive. Excessive enough that I wonder whether they've had unexpected battery degradation in the field, or unexpected degradation of the power delivery circuit, or unexpectedly high load consumption or some kind of fault with the SoC.

Either that or they have just pushed the envelope a little too much knowing that their customers are likely to get fed up and buy new phones... hmmm...
"I thought Jacob was a friend and engaged in consensual sexual relations with him during those three days. It took me five months to process and understand that Jacob had violated my trust and my body."

You're argument is that the second sentence has nothing to do with the first? However, since I parsed it that way, and you seem to agree that having consensual sex and changing opinion later is not rape, then we agree on that. Happy days.

The definition of rape you bring is retarded. What if a woman captures a male, forces an apple pie back and forth on his penis? By the definition you chose to bring to this discussion, that's not rape. You're pretty much outing yourself as a sexist.

Now, about predetermined opinion, you're actually right. I care a lot about the judicial tradition of presumed innocence. This woman decided to be judge, jury and excutioner... In fact, it's worse than that, she decided to be judge, jury and executioner on a case she can't possible be objective about.

So my predetermined opinion is that: If you have been wronged, go through the judicial system. Just tweeting or blogging doesn't have to pass any bar of truth or supply any evidence. That's just wrong. Very wrong. File a police report or you're full of shit.
This was discussed on HN already and I'm sad to see this showing up again.

If you artificially create obstacles to market liquidity, you create incentives for bypassing those obstacles[1]. If a stock can't be sold on an official market, then it will be sold on a officious one, with various possible mechanism, the most obvious one being a front company holding the stock officially while secretly keeping a book of its "real" holders.

There are, maybe, some inconveniences and possibly economic inefficiencies in the trend that can be observed for investors preferring investing in the short term rather than the long term, but it is very narrow-minded to react to this by suggesting to limit market liquidity. IMHO this attitude shows a deep mistrust in the free market and a step away from capitalism towards socialism (since in socialism, stocks are not liquid at all).

1) cars can go a lot faster and on highways

2) cars can haul lots of cargo

3) cars can have 3-6 passengers

4) cars drive just fine in strong wind / rain / snow

5) cars are a lot safer on roads

There are obvious disadvantages too, but, regardless, ebikes are not car replacements. They are good for relatively short trips in places with good bicycle infrastructure.

For the same reason you will not be printing a mechanical watch: the device parts have a resolution that is measured in 1/100ths of a mm, no 3D printer that is even close to affordable can make parts like that. Besides that you will want your parts to be made out of metal powder to be sintered rather than plastic filament which is the material of choice for budget 3D printers.

I know people for whom $1600 is more than a month's pay. No amount of budgeting makes it reasonable or responsible to spend that on meat.

For that matter, I know people who work their asses off
and budget their expenditures down to the penny and are still living paycheck-to-paycheck. I think you're deluding yourself about just how poor "poor" can be.

Also you’re not breathing as much as when you’re biking.
When I lived in SF, I parked my bike in the apartment parking garage (where (I think) there were no power outlets). However, my primary biking destination was work, where I brought the bike into the office where I could have charged it if I had an eBike.

In the apartment where I live now, there's a dedicated card-access bike room with power outlets, so eBike owners can charge up there. (the room wasn't designed for eBike charging, there are only 2 duplex outlets, but a couple power strips mean that everyone with an eBike can plug in at once.

Though SF is small enough that an eBike is probably not necessary for most people - I lived near the top of Nob Hill and managed to commute on a regular bike for 8 years (2 of those years I was commuting to Marin). When I moved out to the Sunset, then there was an easy route to downtown (the "wiggle") to avoid the hills)

I'm having trouble believing that you're making a serious argument against eBikes, since you dismissed the solution to your problem (removable batteries) because it "looks super clumsy". As a recreational cyclist, I've always looked for reasons to ride a bike rather than looking for reasons why I can't.

I've stayed away from eBikes up till now because I haven't had a commute that really needs it, but I'm contemplating moving to where my bike commute will go from my current flat 5 miles to 15 miles with some short steep climbs in the middle. That's a commute where an eBike makes more sense to me. (but not a 1000W semi-motorcycle, just looking for a bit of boost for my aging knees to get up the hills)

Mountaineering above 6000m is never extraordinarily safe. During past 5 years death rate on Everest is 3.4%. That's pretty high if you ask me. If you were sitting in a bus full of climbers, one of them wasn't going back home. Sure, there is always a lot of stupidity but pretty much its just nature. No one is still able to predict weather perfectly, no one can tell who is going to get AMS and people even sitting on basecamp can just die because of avalanche.

Buying lots of nice things on a credit card and racking up debt is a wonderful short-term strategy. At some point the mistakes you make in the short-term cripple you in the long-term.

Everyone who just switched to a new thing, vegetarianism, p90x, atkins, paleo, crossfit, standing desk, node.js, whatever, will tell you it's the greatest thing ever. You "switched in 2017", it's 2017 now. It would be more impactful if you said this 5 years on, and a lot of other people who'd been doing it for 5 years said the same.

There's a lot more to not-plants than a steak, though. Fish and milk and eggs and cheese and shellfish and who knows. That is a huge variety of food, of flavors, of sources and methods for farming, giving it all up is arguably as-healthy, not healthier, and certainly much, much more boring. Also, harder to sustain, it's easy to find food with meat in it, plenty of places have few vegan/vegetarian options.
Safe Deposit box with emergency unlock codes for 1password or Last Pass maybe? That should be pretty straight-forward.

Why was my comment flagged?
This is interesting because there is so much conflicting information. On one hand several people mention they received timely inexpensive care in single-payer system and on other hand there are example of people who were told to wait in line for weeks or get denied of their desired treatment option. It appears that Taiwan's system is certainly getting stretched now and they have been putting up new constraints and caps. My main worry is that in single-payer you have zero options. If your "payer" decides to put a new rule (for example, only cover treatment X because Y is too expensive), it applies to you whether you like it or not and there is nothing you can do about it. Further, in single-payer there are virtually no incentives or restrictions on what they would and can do because its a virtual monopoly. For example, government can decide to reduce budget on health care because they must spend more money on defense due to some foreign threat.
For me (FF 57.0.3) the MathML is shown as source and is not rendered.
Your example will fail the "Overlapping permutations" test and "Runs test" from the diehard tests.

I don't think it's really meaningful to point out that a bad RNG will pass many of the constituent tests of a particular test battery (e.g. diehard), because each constituent test is generally looking for one particular property.
The whole tone of the piece has a kind of "fight the man!" vibe, talking about putting up an "act of resistance" because "MP3's have invaded more and more contemporary listening spaces".

You've got an institutionally-accepted construct designed by white European men for their uses, which inadvertently creates a privileged class that implicitly excludes anything that would've been "other" to those designers.

I wouldn't call it an attack, but I'd call it a weird and not well supported (by what's posted here) social justice angle.

That's good for Kenya, but the cultural differences on spending are very different between Kenya and Western countries. It makes total sense Kenyans would favor spending money on necessities because necessities are not always around. Like, it's plausible you could actually run into people without electricity or a toilet. In the US, that is practically unheard of. Our expectations for "basic necessities" exceed the bare bones necessities places like Kenya see and don't take for granted as much as we do. When we take those things for granted, they are suddenly devalued and not as priority budget items.

Alright, I've tried writing my comment again. I've seen way more uncivil comments on Hacker News not being flagged, but then again, they were probably leftist, like calling Trump a retarded monkey or something.

Hi Eric.

My question doesn't make that assumption. It questions the size of your target market. You are proposing to "reward" certain investor behaviors but I am suggesting that the numbers indicate that the vast majority place NO value on the reward you are offering.

It seems clear to me that the vast majority of people who have an interest in having exposure to the equity markets do NOT value voting rights.

If more people valued voting rights, then more would hold the stock directly or would only invest through intermediaries who advertise that they behave as shareholder activists. But, comparatively speaking, not many investors do.
Unfortunately they all are. There were 5-6 years when bitcoin actually wasn't totally insance, but unfortunately the way the "powers that be" (exchanges + hash pool managers) are treating the rest of us, that ended definitively in September (actually more like Februari, but ...).

You can't transact in bitcoin, and nothing else has any acceptance ... That breaks cryptocurrency, so all one looks at is finding interesting toys.

So I guess I'm doing the same thing as all your posts you linked to, I'm saying "I'm excited, if 'the tangle' demonstrates that it can scale, I'd love to see that happen".

I would suggest nobody invest in any cryptocurrency. That said, having 50$ of play money in iota (and others) is both fun and interesting.

Yeah, I am kinda disgusted myself, but I am right on the cusp, and I am grasping at it. That last sprint. I’ve locked in 99.5%-tile wealth, but the next month to six will determine if I can get into 99.9%-tile, where the true game change is.

And I’m under no illusion, if I don’t bag this deal here for the 99.9%-tile (private aviation, super yacht and models) I’ll forever be stuck at 99.5%-tile (first class commercial, upper middle class lifestyle forever without having to work).

Just a little more... broke my way many times... just need this last bit...
The data appear to be correct. Maybe you’ve ingested to much propaganda to believe these numbers.

Maybe because they know that the market doesn't solve such problems, it only makes them worse. Market players profit from creating barriers for customers and keeping the system balkanized; it takes a strong actor outside of that market to force a common standard.

I don't see what the excitement is about blockchain. Can't you do the same stuff with SQL?

Blockchain:

* Separates your transactions into blocks and hashes the blocks together.

* Uses proof-of-work to add new blocks.

* Is slow (a block has to be filled).

* Is unreliable (your transaction may be rejected).

* Locks transactions at the block level.

* Easy for user to lose unique tokens (coins).

My SQL design for blockchain replacement:

* Take a database table.

* Allow INSERT permission only.

* Hash each record and insert the hash into next record, which chains them together like blockchain.

* Replicate the database.

This is like blockchain, because it hashes the records together, can't be modified, and has backups to ensure it can't be modified.

Unlike blockchain, it:

* Is centralized but still has backups.

* Is cheap (does not require proof of work).

* Is fast (one transaction at a time).

* Is reliable (ACID transactions).

* Locks transactions at the record level.

* User not required to keep track of coins.

So what's so great about blockchain compared to this design? The only thing blockchain does better is that there is no central server, so it's hard to shut down. But for industry use, no one is going to shut down their intranet servers. Only criminals need to worry about being shut down.

Uploading photos is not that impressive. You've been able to do that on a PC from the 90's. While it has been interesting to see the 90's repeat itself on the phones, the smartphone's hardware have already surpassed, and there's really no excuse to have such a limited io-interface. The problem is the big players are just fine with their users being just consumers. One step in the right direction is the note (pen/stylus input) devices that give much better precision then using your thumbs, which makes it possible to take advantage of all that screen resolution. What we'll see next is an extra fold-able screen that will give more screen real estate. And general purpose hardware buttons on the sides and back, that apps can use for special functionality. And better voice processing using camera plus mic, so you can talk to the phone.
