I'm guessing there isn't enough research yet to say what effect your sleep pattern might have. It could be that concentration is important above some particular point and as long as you are getting sufficient regular sleep you keep it below that point.

It sounds like there is also genetic variation in production, so if you have a generally lower production then a higher level due to your sleep pattern might still not be that high relative to others (or if you have higher than usual production then long days could be more likely to cause trouble).

As someone with a circadian disorder, the thing I would worry about most from your sleep pattern is triggering a circadian disorder. At least Non-24 seems likely to have both a genetic predisposition and require triggering in many people (some have it from birth). This would be most likely if your normal rhythm seems to normally be longer than usual, although even there it isn't necessarily a problem since cave studes show people slip naturally into the type of sleep pattern that you describe. It might depend on how you do the transition (and how close you get to a two day cycle on your long days). But I would suggest at least being very observant of your circadian rhythm. Things like when you get hungry, feel tired, and have to pee can indicate how your circadian rhythm is doing and if those things change when you aren't staying up late then that could cause serious trouble eventually.
The amount of harmful protein cleared is likely proportional to the product of concentrations of the harmful protein and the clearing protein, because the two need to interact. That means that clearing becomes slower as less harmful protein is left.

Prolonging the clearing process would mean that you spend a longer time at very low concentration, but not that the minimum concentration would be much lower. If the harm of high concentrations is disproportionally higher, the longer time at lower concentration would be unable to balance that out.

However, this is only based on my rough intuition and I didn't even do any napkin math. If you want to really get a quantifiable comparison, you'd better find out about the concrete interactions in question and calculate it yourself.

Or you could ask a physician who specializes in sleep (I forget what they are called), but if it isn't already published science somewhere, it's unlikely they could tell you anything other than that what you're doing is highly unusual and you should probably stop.

Lawyers out of law schools are not qualified to practice the law. That takes an apprenticeship as an associate which is where the bottleneck is. It is a cartel, but not at the law school level.

There is a huge demand for cheap lawyers -- basically people who know rules of procedure and basic law. They don't exist, in part because law schools don't teach enough practical skills to be able to practice without malpractice.
Nope...OK, lets look at APFS here instead of HFS+..

Here's what I'm finding out today.. APFS understands which files will give the biggest performance boost once defragged. It works in the background when the machine is idle, so defrag won't impact system performance.

For macOS, High Sierra automatically converts the system drive to APFS as part of the installation process. The process does not move your file data. It does copy and reformat file system metadata, but does not erase the old metadata until the rewritten metadata has checked out. The metadata provides information about other data and I believe this is where the problem is. Apple will fix it, just a matter of time. For me a re-format did the job..

Why can my buddy buy a new Macbook formatted for APFS loaded from Apple with High Sierra and it runs perfect? Now take that same Macbook and install the HS update on a non APFS drive and re format to APFS and it runs like chit? Not my opinion but just what I'm seeing on other forums.. There is a serious flaw in the live update of the file system causing everyone problems..

I cured my problems completely simply by re-formatting the drive with Disk Utility APFS and re-installing the same data and using first aid.. I'm very happy with the results..

I think the supposition of this article is that dedicated push-to-talk infrastructure is obsolete - something I feel is demonstrably false.

PTT only networks are much easier, and less infrastructure heavy to keep operational, they also have significantly lower backhaul requirements. In addition, they have better overall reliability during disaster situations.

Motorola (alone, they are one of 5 big players in the industry) ships something like 500m+ in two way radio infrastructure yearly, and its not really a shrinking market.

So yes, FirstNet is a boondoggle, and one of those 9/11 projects that should die or go a different direction, to a great extent the interoperability they offer is fantastic, if anyone could ever use it - but two way radio? not dead, and still very relevant for certain industries and services.
The main reason i moved away from iPhone was terrible battery life and phones obviously slowing just as the new models came out. Doubt I'll go back. Haven't missed them at all tbh.

unconditional acceleration — think accelerationism but replace the traditional adherence on partisan political paradigms (seen in L/ACC and R/ACC) with a Landian (Nick Land from the CCRU) cyberpunk eschatological cult that employs ironic internet culture and an anti-Fordist faux-mythologization of 19th century literature & material relations à la alt-right.

There was an attempt to institutionalize the movement (outside of the twitter-sphere) through the likes of LD50[0] and Vince Garton's Urbanomic piece[1], but since their whole ideology is based around the principles of "anti-praxis" the entire thing is kind of just a big self-own imo.

Anyway, I find people like Alice Maz (who suckle themselves onto these fashionable but theoretically barren movements that fetishize an aesthetic in order to aggrandize their own narcissistic image[2]) kind of annoying. I don't doubt that Maz may make interesting observations about tech and cs, but I can't stand the constant alt-right posturing on her tl.

My 2018 prediction is that a terror attack (or other high profile event, say a massive human trafficking ring bust) of some sort will get blamed on "Bitcoin financing" and this will be used as pretext to go after one or more US exchangers and seize assets. That's why - never keep your coins on an exchange-controlled wallet. If this happens, it will take many years if you ever see your coins again. By then the worldwide crackdown on exchangers will crash the Bitcoin price, so it might not matter at that point.
People living in a snooty wealthy bubble get 'really fucking scared' pretty easily. It's not like drug addicts sitting on the sidewalk go out of their way to attack strangers walking by in the middle of a busy public street. I'm not recommending you find a big angry looking person and insult his mother.

There are lots of people with kids who live in the Tenderloin and presumably pass through their own neighborhood at all hours.

This is not true. Apple does not let you install old versions of iOS and if you try to avoid upgrading you’re bombarded multiple times per day with pop ups asking you to either upgrade now, or install overnight. There’s no option to skip the new os. You can only click install overnight, then cancel out of the passcode prompt.
True, but that shouldn’t have a significant effect on the relative improvement for NYC vs other cities.
Ive been following Apple for 10+ years and Im not wrong. Am I exact? No, but close enough. They used to charge you $100 to write software for your own iPhone. But a semantical argument isnt the one Im making.

I find my stats in studies with much more robust methodology.

Here is a reference chain:

Tldr: "Almost all of the growth in top American earners has come from just three economic sectors: professional services, finance and insurance, and health care, groups that tend to benefit from regulatory barriers that shelter them from competition.

The groups that have contributed the most people to the 1 percent since 1980 are: physicians; executives, managers, sales supervisors, and analysts working in the financial sectors; and professional and legal service industry executives, managers, lawyers, consultants and sales representatives."
> far better than the romanticised "repairability"

I decide on my own what I want, which is to fix the damn thing if it's fixable and not spend 1000$ on a new one. And to fix it is "far better" than to recycle it, or to have it artificially slowed without explanation and deceived into buying a new one.

Apple is not the company I once admired. Time passes, MS is slightly more ok and Apple is bad. Weird. I wouldn't have guessed in the early 2000's.
It looks like they are saying the opposite, that the lack of sleep does increase levels.
> Then a "forkable string" assumes that s3 knows about B[s2], and since s3 is honest (as we assumed for our scenario) she will commit her new block C, >2 blocks away from O. Suppose she commits it 3 blocks away:

I think you're misunderstanding the protocol.

The purpose of the PVSS scheme outlined in section 5.2 is to provide all stakeholders with a verifiable random seed R, which they then independently use to identify all slot leaders for the epoch. This means that—irrespective of honesty—stakeholder si can only create a block in slot i. In particular, in your example stakeholders s2, s3, and s5 can only create blocks in slots 2, 3, and 5, respectively.

The strategy left to the dishonest stakeholder si is to create duplicate blocks in slot i and distribute them to different portions of the network. See figure 5 on p. 17 for an example.

> If every honest node can reliably receive all honest nodes' blocks, we don't need any complex leadership selection algorithm nor the idea of forkable strings.

The protocol definitely does not make this assumption. The purpose of the forkable strings analysis is to show that the probability that a random seed R generates an advantageous slot assignment for forking attacks decays exponentially with the number of slots in the epoch.

If honest nodes could all communicate reliably this analysis would be unnecessary. For example in the case given in figure 5, stakeholders s3 and s5 could both abandon their tines and fill in slots 3 and 5 on the middle tine.
We need to have a meaningfully competitive electoral system.

I live in New York, although not in NYC. I call elections “affirmations”, as there are never meaningfully contested general elections, and probably a meaningfully contested primary about 1/3 of the time. All of the bigger offices (mayor, county exec, Congress) attract enough money that the incumbent can find an African American or other bloc voter candidate to run on a third party line and split the opposition vote. State legislative offices are only involuntarily vacated by death or felony conviction.

It’s difficult to envision a brighter future as the national GOP platform is so poisonous.

The point is there should not be a far-away Congress with such large powers. It worked when there were 13 states clustered along one coast. Now it's its own empire-building entity with little practical oversight.
There's nothing to support your assertions on the first page of your current threads page [0], so could you explain your reasoning?

It seems like a real pain to put the argument in words here, so is there an opinion piece somewhere which argues more or less what you argue? You write professionally, so have you recorded your position somewhere?

You left off the most important piece. If your going to quote it, provide the right context.

>The budget showed that 900 workers were being paid to dig caverns for the platforms as part of a 3.5-mile tunnel connecting the historic station to the Long Island Rail Road. But the accountant could only identify about 700 jobs that needed to be done, according to three project supervisors. Officials could not find any reason for the other 200 people to be there.

“Nobody knew what those people were doing, if they were doing anything,” said Michael Horodniceanu, who was then the head of construction at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs transit in New York. The workers were laid off, Mr. Horodniceanu said, but no one figured out how long they had been employed. “All we knew is they were each being paid about $1,000 every day.”

:) where is the competition in SF to stop landlords from ever increasing rents?

Thought experiment: If we redistributed all the liquid capital that currently exists, one year later the people who own infrastructure will end up the 1% again.

You can see this through some basic economics. People have more money, they are willing to spend more money. Meanwhile, supply remains constant. What happens? Prices go up.

Everyone has to eat, everyone has to buy medicine, everyone needs to sleep, everyone needs the internet. Everyone “needs” to gamble. The people who own that infrastructure would be the richest again.
>> I use a Google-free Android phone. I can watch movies and listen to music, talk to people and chat.

Is that somehow impressive? Every smartphone since 1980 can do that.

>> And I'm free to take my data and move to another device.

So what. People with Androids and Iphones can, and do, move to another device, data included. So what is your point.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t expect some slowdown but Apple essentially forces you to upgrade with no path to downgrade the os. After upgrading my iPhone 6 to iOS 11 I could not launch Lyft, uber took minutes to open, and even the built in message app would have multi-second lag on key press. If you are destroying what was a perfectly fine phone with a software release it should simply not be supported. I would have been content with an old version of iOS that had reasonable performance and did not result in my phone shutting down at 30%, which was a problem introduced with iOS 11.
Why can't they just state something like...

if battery total capacity < x % then set max CPU clock speed = x Ghz?

Or whatever KPIs they use like battery wear level.

The current release doesn't say anything more than what was previously known.
I'm not an expert, but it seems the mix of unions, politicians, kickbacks, corruption, favoritism, etc., leads itself to abuse.

Maybe, maybe if we just used something similar to the Army Corps of Engineers to handle all major infra construction in the US, keeping local politicians out of the fiscal and contractual aspects, then maybe we could get what we pay for. In the meantime, it seems like a bunch of backscratching and pocket stuffing --I mean, someone's making money.
Yes it is. The “fix” was introduced to avoid these crashes by throttling instead of browning out. It’s in the article.

By default, only root can bind to ports 80 and 443. You can change this policy, but that's considered unsecure because then any program can bind to the so called "privileged ports."
> It took too much trouble and too long for it to happen, but Apple is stepping up and doing the right thing.

Because they were hit by lawsuits.

Do not expect that this is a sudden understanding of customers' needs by Apple. They knew perfectly well what they were doing and made the choice to hide this feature. They would not have changed it without these lawsuits.

> So I take the drop to $29 as a tangible apology

I take it as an admission of guilt that they were overcharging consumers 50$ of pure margin for this.
On a von Neumann architecture, there is no actual distinction between code and data. Every CPU architecture in widespread use is a von Neumann architecture (GPUs, it should be noted generally aren't von Neumann). What this means is that loading data from unsecure, untrusted sources is potentially the same as executing code. In practice, this is actually very often the case--a buffer overflow trivially turns data into code.

With that in mind, what realistically is possible to do, over than to declare that everything can only be read as plain text (and hope there's no exploitable bugs in font rendering of system fonts)?

Getting rid of a physical button is hardly a decent hardware feature. I would've been massively disappointed if apple had gone the android route and just slapped a virtual button i can tap onto the screen.

Ask HN: What are some good resources about sales prospecting emails?
I am not assuming any conclusions. I was only trying to add firsthand experience to the mix as food for thought.

I have long gotten a lot of pushback for apparently being pretty oblivious to cultural expectations for my gender. My reaction to that has been to wonder WTH? and then try to find a non confrontational path around it rather than simply cave to such social pressure.

The fact that I have to do that at all suggests that, no, we wouldn't be having this discussion if the candidate had been male. It would have simply gone differently. Period.

It's a little like saying "But what if a guy got his clitoris caught in the machinery?" And the answer is that a guy doesn't have a clitoris to get caught in the machinery (and the pro trans activists can kindly spare me the derail about how that comment is somehow transphobic, thanks).

Women get enormous amounts of social pressure from the get go to straight up behave differently than men. I often fail to behave differently from men in certain metrics. The result is very often a whole lot of drama from people outraged that I am not toeing the line. And that outrage only makes sense if you accept that the rules are different for girls.

I had to research why on earth I was getting so much pushback on HN when I first got here. I was a big fat nobody with an entry level job and no hope of promotion and some pathetic amount of karma. The level of blowback was insanely high for some big fat nobody who just wanted a place to run their damn mouth. It didn't add up until I discovered that I had a lot of karma for a woman, never mind that the amount of karma was not notable at all for the guys. Yet it was making waves.

So, I don't know how to engage your comment effectively because I am not assuming a conclusion. I am trying to sum up 52 years of "if I do the same thing a guy does, wow, does that not go at all like it does for the guys and I can only conclude sexism has to be a factor in there somewhere."

And you can do with that testimony as you see fit in terms of trying to understand what is going on in the world.
I don’t know about you but myself and the people I know love the city cuz of convenience, social reasons, and jobs.

I think you don’t read the comment. If the battery do not have enough power the level would be 0%. The time from 100%(plugged in) to 0% will depend on how degraded is the battery. It is not difficult to understand. You are repeating Apple excuses. Mobile phones had been dealing with degrading batteries for a long time.
