The thing is that there will be people wanting to defend this product. It will become just another thing like 'natural salt' that has no added iodine but has lots of impurities in it. This is then packaged as 'non GMO' and 'Gluten Free' amongst other organic things.

As a regular user of a bread making machine I do wonder if my bread would be improved by the use of this posh salt rather than the table salt I normally use. Would I live longer by not having the anti-caking ingredient added to the teaspoon of salt I use with my bread?

So, after a push of a button and a couple of minutes exactly measuring flour, water, salt, sugar, butter and yeast I get perfect fresh bread. Meanwhile, the mystery individual 'ms Ancedote' goes the whole hog on using overly-good ingredients to make some 'even better bread'. This will be using wholemeal organic spelt flour instead of regular strong wholemeal flour, this will also be measured in 'cups', not weighed. So all the other ingredients are fancy, e.g. the salt, the oven will need to be on for hours and lots of noises and mess will be made. Net result is essentially unrisen bread, the science not understood, the interior still sticky dough, the outer with a thicker and dryer crust than one might want. To my science mind this is madness, a lot of work with ingredients coming from all four corners of the globe, just for some bread that is wrong. All kinds of exciting herbs and what-not could also be added, such 'rustic' fun is the desired thing, it does not taste like store bought bread and that is what matters. The fact it takes five hours to make is part of it. None of it makes sense until you learn the word 'orthorexia':

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorexia_nervosa

So my mystery friend that makes awful bread and does not want to be making normal bread like I do, why is this? It is just one symptom of a bigger thing going on, orthorexia.

I would say there is a whole industry going on around orthorexia and that these guys are tapping into that market.
I agree with you. Sometimes a single long-ish function is preferrable to a flock of shorter ones.

Still, I think the GP has a point - clear naming is very important, regardless of one's attitude towards function size. ;-)
whoa. Something is not right indeed.

I'd delete the extension and re-install from AgileBit's website, and make sure the 1password app on mac is talking to the extension.

This is odd, but good luck! Obv. their support team would help square things away way better than this random internet stranger could!
That is also in there. You can either specify "pti off" or "nopti" as a boot parameter.

Your feedback is legit. Unfortunately the app has to initially cater to the early adopters of Ethereum, but making Ethereum and Dapps approachable is the #1 goal of this project. I will be spending a lot of time on further simplifying the UI/UX of the app and the what you see on the website. If anyone wants to help, please let me know.
Cave people is such a nebulous term that I probably shouldn't have responded to that part of your post :\

He says the layperson isn't seeking understanding, yes. To conflate that, and curiosity, wonder, and anger, with being -not truly interested-, baffles me. Maybe you disagree that interest manifests in ways besides seeking understanding?
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

Another big thing I've put on my todo list (in addition to a "Click Here to Try A Sample Video" button) is a section where you can rate the quality of the summarization out of 5 stars. That way I can go back and identify the videos that don't work well with the service and see what I can do to improve the quality of those summarizations.

Update: Done (with one item on that todo list)! I've added a 'Random' button that loads in a random URL (from the small set of 3 TED talks I posted elsewhere in this thread) so that it's easier to test the app out quickly.
I spent some time playing with this yesterday and showed it to a few colleagues today. It's a cool implementation - feels like the beginnings of an app store for DApps.
Not that I use GPG, but that is exactly how I would. write text, encrypt, paste base64 nonsense into email, verify I'm sending nonsense, send. So many failures result from trying to make things "easy" and so you get people full quoting in plaintext, cc to the wrong person (transparently encrypted with their key, so they can read it, etc.).

I disagree that GPG is easy, and I think telling people to use it will mean they screw it up. But I also think efforts to make it easier are likely to automate failure.
> No you can't since netcode.io authenticates packets with a public/private key pair and a sequence id. If either the sequence id has been seen recently or key sig fails it won't accept the connection.

How exactly do you think netcode.io knows that I own (or don't own) 151.101.193.67?

What exactly do you think prevents me from modifying my own netcode.io server at 151.196.182.212 from listing that IP address as one of the game servers?

It's a legitimate connection as far as the client is concerned, and that's what I have a few billion of.

Why do you think the public/private key or sequence ID has anything to do with this? Why do you think for a denial of service attack I care if the "server" 151.101.193.67 accepts the "connection" or not?

> Netcode.io was built by someone who dealt with millions of clients and shipped many high volume games so this isn't anything new.

If it helps you, I've built software with an install-base over a billion, in a place where high latency and bugs don't just mean a dissatisfied customer, but loss of real money.

However talking credentials at this point doesn't help me. It is probably best you respond specifically to what you think is wrong with my thinking instead of bringing up how smart you think your friends are.

> packet drops tend to happen in bursts so your multiplexed TCP/IP clients just means you're resilient to N+1 drops.

If you want to send datagrams at 20hz, and your RTT is 200ms, then 10 connections is equivalent in throughput and latency to UDP: Simply send datagrams down the channel. One side detect a stall? Tear down the channel and move to the next one. Even if you lose 10 packets in a row, the 50msec timer tick means you still recover at least one channel before the 200msec mark.

It's the same as UDP because it's the same number of packets. You can convince yourself of this with tcpdump, and subtract the TCP connect/teardown packets (which aren't blocking anything).

> Look, I'm sure you're an expert in WebRTC but you don't understand the technical requirements for a realtime netcode.

Accepted, at least for these discussions.

One of the principal authors of netcode[1] says that he doesn't understand WebRTC. He says it's too complex.

I have given several examples of things it does better than the published version of netcode if it were immediately adopted by browser vendors, and unless those specific things are addressed, you are going to have a hard time convincing Google and Mozilla to include netcode.io JavaScript bindings.

I appreciate you don't think network address translation is important, and I realise you don't understand the denial of service attack vector I'm describing yet. I think these things are important because I am experienced with their impact, and I know how WebRTC protects users from these things.

You can put your energy into understanding this attack vector, and what others might lay around also hidden from view, or your can put your energy into solving the problems that might make WebRTC a poor fit for game developers. In either case, you probably need to learn WebRTC.

That's exactly why Amazon sold you an echo. To buy stuff from them. Warming up the car and playing music are just little features to get you to put it into your home--they are not the main features. Please don't tell me this isn't obvious in 2018.

Also worth noting that this was somewhat of a plot point in The Big Short:

* A GS employee scoffs at Christian Bale's character (Burry) for saying that he actually investigated the mortgages that comprised a few CDOs

* Steve Carrell's team goes down to Miami to meet realtors and mortgage buyers
And Congress gets their own healthcare plan. They don't have to use the system they create for the rest of us.
Maybe this isn't exactly what you were thinking but I wanted to get some social listening features added to Spotify as well so I built JQBX: https://www.jqbx.fm .

Maybe it'll scratch your itch, figured I'd share.
> The hit I see is by providers of 'serverless' computing, since they charge per request and have their margins reduced.

AWS, Azure, and GCP all bill serverless with a combination of per-request fees and compute (GB-seconds), so I'd expect the entire hit to be passed on to the user since this will cause increased compute time for each request. N requests that used to average 300ms each will now be N requests that average, say, 400ms, so the per-request billing remains the same and the compute billing will increase by approximately 30%.
Yeah, the sulfur heavy ones are pretty terrible, but that's not all Wells.
I've worked extremely close to the government and, yes, everything about the process screamed inefficiency in the name of positions and purchases not being abused. So you spend massively inflated amounts as a result of that bureaucracy for subpar quality (because a lot of people who can easily find alternatives don't have the patience to deal with the red tape, leading to an over-time retention bias towards the mediocre).

I disagree that firing isn't a big part of it, but you can't just have more firing. You need to let managers do their jobs in a way that isn't just following a checklist in a binder, which also involves hiring latitude, pay latitude, etc. All stuff that could be abused, but some abuse is better than uniform shit quality at high expense.

One easy example from both government and big industry: how much money do we spend on sending people to get mediocre extra degrees from mediocre schools that don't actually have anything to do with their job responsibilities but is a requirement for a certain promotion level?
Sounds good. I would actually recommend just a literal glossary/"here's what all this stuff means if you're seeing it for the first time".
Counter-counterpoint from an American. It actually is selfishness. Most people and fight and vote in their own self-interest, and only take note of the welfare of others when it affects them directly. Sad, but true..

Mazdas look a little bit differently but in terms of technology there is nothing impressive about them.

There is a long history [0] of populations living in cold places, (Vikings, Eskimos) with less sun using cod liver oil (Levertran) as a "strength tonic", due to the Vitamin D3 in it.

The connection is also pretty well established in regards to lack of sunlight and higher risk for developing rickets [1].

Main developer of vg here. In principle vg should work for packages outside of GOPATH when using full isolation mode (which has its own set of problem, see README for details). Its dep integration doesn't work then though last time I tried. As far as I can tell the main reason why Go tooling needs GOPATH is because everything uses absolute imports and relative ones can translated to absolute ones by always working from inside the workspace.

I've solved my main issue with GOPATH in a very easy way though. I just create symlinks in my normal directories (like ~/work) to my projects in GOPATH. This allows me to go to my own projects easily while still having everything in GOPATH.
My TV has no way to revive updates. So, normally you do have some control.

However, this is a device that requires internet to function and is managed by them giving you zero control beyond unplugging it.
It is a lot- but no harder to learn than the internet, or particularly esoteric apps. Eg www, http, web browser, snaps, stories, play store - all of these would mean nothing to a pre-internet person.

Lots of small UX improvements will add up to a lot, and if there’s genuine utility in dapps adoption people will overcome them

You can tap on skip button in the corner but do copy it down as soon as you are able (it can be viewed again in settings screen).

Cipher uses features like the Secure Enclave chip to make things more secure, but obviously the best practice is to treat it as a hot spending wallet and use a hardware wallet to store large amounts.
Do you also rely on function documentation telling you whether it modifies its arguments, “even temporarily”? Or do you just read the source for every function you use, transitively?
Most ford cars use engine designs from Mazda, including the mustangs. I'm sure they do this for some of the other major auto manufacturers.
Writing a general engine to do all these things is likely not a reasonable thing to do.

Complicated dynamical systems usually involve solving PDEs and for that you need to discretize your domain. How you choose to do so will drastically affect the numerical properties of your simulation. Most "real-physics" simulators tend to be specialized to a given task or even a given domain (for example simulating heat diffusion in an engine part). There's a whole literature on finite element methods to simulate various physical phenomena though it can be quite dense.

The generic game physics engines use very simple models of mechanics and allow for numerical issues (e.g. by using finite differences) in exchange for being real-time. If you're looking to simulate more advanced physical phenomena for a game, you're going to have to make similar trade-offs and will have to choose which ones make for the best gameplay.
It just works -- pretty much exactly the way I want it to. I've been a Spotify user for 5 years, have occasionally tried competing services, but I've never cancelled my subscription. Even if they'd double the price, I wouldn't cancel my account.
I wonder how much the pervasiveness of dating apps has to do with this as well. One of the bigger social motivators for my generation growing up was "are members of the opposite sex gonna be there?". Nowadays a lot of people meet on dating apps, _then_ choose to potentially socialize with each other and go out, whereas before you'd have to go out and be social to stand a chance of finding someone to date. Now you actually _can_ sit at home on your couch all day and still meet girls/guys.
Economic war it is, plainly and simple.

Just like UK was ripping of India with trade in fabrics, so does China now with the rest of the world. And so did USA with countless countries in the past, now they are just surprised how unexpectedly fast they ended up on the other end of the barrel.

Maybe PIA should do the same since that's their biggest differentiating claim.
Mandatory safety net/insurance policies make sense because what we know from experience is that if you don't have a mandated program, some people will blow it off. And as long as we don't have the political will to let them die on the street alone in poverty, it'll be very expensive to try pick up the pieces of the mess once they hit the safety net. Especially if that's something like hitting the ER needing tens of thousands of treatment to stabilize, before just getting kicked back out to the street. Or wasting people's time in the ER without medical need because the ER has heating and a bed and the cold winter street doesn't.

Not everybody has family to fall back on in retirement, but we still don't want to let them simply die. So the money has to be given somewhere.

I'm confused. I think you're saying the same thing as the post you're replying to. The direction would be to own (or "create") the content. In other words, Justin Timberlake or someone with equal clout moves from Sony to Spotify Records (for lack of a better name).
The original title, "Facebook and Google Say They Need More Time to Comply with Seattle’s Election Transparency Law", is longer than HN will let me submit but IMO the removal of the word "more" is important. Not sure if the mods can go over the character cap, but if so please do for this.

It can work well, but I think it comes down more to the your manager/org than the overall company (assuming we're talking about a large enough company for there to be disparate orgs). We have unlimited PTO and I think I took 7-8ish weeks last year—including spending pretty much all of November in New Zealand. Nobody had an issue with it.

OTOH, I know of people in the company who struggle to take more than two weeks.

During my last job search I would point-blank ask the hiring manager how much PTO they and their reports took in the last year.
Good luck, Fort Collins.

I'm from Burlington, Vermont. We had municipal fiber. Great speed and prices and amazing customer service.

Unfortunately, due to mismanagement and some shady borrowing from the city, the utility was sold last month as mandated in the settlement of a suit by Citibank, marking the end of our experiment with municipal broadband.

Fort Collins is 4x the size of Burlington. Hopefully the larger customer base means they'll be able to avoid some of the financial struggles that we faced.
> Mind you, what was previously (and mostly still is!) considered “high doses” of vitamim D are actually closer to the RDI than the doses anyone is taking. The RDI for vitamin D was miscalculated as 1/10th its proper value decades ago, and this error was only recently corrected:

No, there is a paper claiming that it was miscalculated and should be corrected (and, as another comment notes, there is a later paper calling for a reduction rather than an increase.) The actual current numbers remain (for most age groups):

Estimated Average Requirement: 400IU/day

Recommended Daily Allowance: 600IU/day

Tolerable Upper Intake Level: 4000IU/day

A paper calling for a change in the RDA is not a change in the RDA.
That makes sense, thanks. This is a big deal.

I take your point, but, we have a long case history of what happens when we don't have clean water, starting here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1854_Broad_Street_cholera_outb... (well it started before that, but this is when epidemiology became a thing.)

safe water doesn't need to be sterile. In the UK, you are allowed a certain level of "harmless" bacteria. However there are strong laws that are _enforced_ to make sure that people don't get harmed.

Now, there _might_ be a case that "raw" water provides/boosts/promotes certain gut flora in people that is beneficial. However gut flora is a new and little understood science. Applying occam's razor to declining health in the US, and I'd point to two things:

1) increasingly sedentary lifestyle

2) Terrible health system that denies basic care for >60 million people and pumps the rest full of narcotics.

Unlike the gut flora theory, there is a mountain of evidence to back it up, not some bearded weirdo with little connection to the real world.
