I didn't down vote, but I took the gp to be an expression of opinion rather than a statement of fact, and neck pain from phone use being something I can relate to. Merely asking for sources can be distracting when discussing opinions.

I think a more cogent response would be "How is smart phone use different than reading a paper or having ones nose buried in a book?" which of course isn't new, but the same physical movement.

The study here used fecal transplant from lean to obese mice as well as a less invasive test; so it really does seems like a meaningful distinction.

Some perspective from the US.

My girlfriend has lupus - diagnosed at eight. The lupus destroyed her kidney by her fourteenth birthday. She got a transplant at sixteen. Her transplant was covered by her mom's insurance with the rest of the costs falling onto our state's medicaid because she was a minor and her mom, an RN, was not well to do. Her medications were also covered by her mom's health insurance and picked up by our state's medicaid program.

She and her mom moved to another state when my girlfriend turned seventeen, so from that point it was her mom's insurance picking up the medication. She and I started dating when she turned eighteen. At that time, all of her drugs, including anti-rejection medications, were $5 per 90 day supply at the local pharmacy under her mom's insurance.

Her mom lost her job when she was 21, so my girlfriend lost her insurance and was unable to afford COBRA. My girlfriend did not qualify for medicaid in this new state because she was not a minor, pregnant, or considered disabled by the federal government despite not being able to work with the lupus. At this time, our best option for her medications were discount mail order pharmacies, which cost $1000 per 30 day supply, which we could barely afford with my computer programmer salary, as I could not add her to my insurance due to us not being married.

For awhile, she was on PCIP and then a plan made available on the ACA exchange. Her premiums were $400 per month, and that made her prescriptions $20 per 90 day supply. So it brought the costs from $1000 per 30 day supply to about $450 per month, counting insurance. We managed to make this work for a few months before I was laid off from my programming gig and lost my insurance.

We moved back to the state she moved from due to a job offer. She still did not qualify for medicaid, but my new job allowed me to add someone to my insurance if we were married or domestic partners. So we got a domestic partnership, and her drugs now again cost $5 per 90 day supply.

So I've been with someone on both sides in America - good insurance, no insurance, basic insurance, and then good insurance again. We really need to find a better system. We've survived by luck and really tight financial planning.

I actually tried some homemade bruteforce attack using all my regular passwords, but at half-way I decided it was not worthy. I don't think Dogecoin has any chance (or will, as a community) to get another 10x valuation; so probably I will keep tracking the value of my ~27000 dogecoins as a reminder of how speculative bubbles work.
But this isn't that is it? These are based on trades that probably took place in the last few seconds.

I take Remicaid, which has technically been on the market longer than Humira and still requires me to go in to an Infusion Center to get hooked up to an IV for 2hrs every 8 weeks. The ‘full price’ cost of my treatment: $16,000 just for the Remicaid.

They have a co-payment plan that, for the most needy, would effectively make the drug free. For me, my insurance gets billed a few thousand and I would have a $250 copay, which they pay.

It makes me wonder though, has anyone ever paid the full price, or is it just astronomically high to maximize the ‘charitable’ deduction side of their business?

The Airbus + Bombardier C-series deal was confirmed in in October 2017.

Seems like interesting timing for the deal, although doubtless it's good strategically anyway.

That's because cryptocoins are currency and stocks are parts of any kind of enterprise that does something to add value to the material world around us. People seem to have a hard time understanding the difference between "The US Dollar" and "The Kraft Heinz Company".
We can also see there is a real sense in which market cap matters. There are many cases where companies acquire other companies that are publicly traded in one shot. When that happens, the offer is generally somewhere in the ballpark of the market cap. If someone wanted to acquire "all BitCoin", there isn't an equivalent way to use the "market cap" of BitCoin to mean anything.

(If you want to observe that value is thus still relative and that the people making the offer are themselves influenced by the market cap, go nuts. However, if you intend "valuations are relative anyhow" as a selective attack on the realness of stock market caps but then "accidentally" forget to apply the same logic to cryptocurrency market caps, I'll pass.)
Group studying threats to humanity made a game mod about super-intelligent AI
Article Excerpt: "So a speculatively-executed xdcbt was identical to a real xdcbt!"

I've never thought about it until I saw the above line in the article, and that thought went something like this:

"Assembler instructions which might never have the conditions met for their execution during a program's runtime might be speculatively executed nonetheless, and this, depending on the nature of the instruction executed, might have huge ramifications up to and including program incorrectness and even program failure."

In other words, your absolutely 100% deterministic Turing machine (or programs that you write on it that you deem to be 100% deterministic) -- may not be quite so deterministic when viewed against these understandings...

It adds a whole new dimension to what must be thought about when writing assembler code...

Anyway, it's a really great article!

I gather the very reason it's the second-busiest air route in the world is that it's just far enough below the margin at which it becomes economically feasible to build fast rail (for now).

As a comparison, London and Paris, which are of comparable proximity and economic importance to one-another, have much bigger populations, and thus fast rail is justifiable, so the two cities don't rank highly on the busiest-air-routes list.

Stocks - at least, blue-chip stocks - are usually thickly traded. The full set of shares outstanding does get bought and sold, at prices that usually remain roughly reflective of the market price (e.g. Dell being taken private, for a recent example). There are stocks that trade much more thinly, and this kind of absurdity can happen there, e.g. Bigfoot Project: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-08-18/bigfoot-r... .

So there's no clear bright line between "legitimate market cap" and "silly market cap". But there is a quantitative difference, and it's worth thinking about how deep the order book is when you see these "market cap" calculations being thrown arond.
Show HN: Datascover – Data analytics APIs as a service
I suspect that in this peculiar case, as soon as a worker goes up and exits the tunnel to report completion of his/her workload, the repairs are in fact already behind schedule. To the foreman on the surface it's quite obvious that only a few moments have passed so how could he possibly have completed the repairs in such a timeframe. Instead the worker is merely wasting time ascending and descending into the tunnel, falling further behind schedule.

So the foreman goes down to check the progress of works and of course finds them complete, because the workers have been working hard for days and days in the tunnel. And upon exiting the tunnel the foreman checks the plans and finds once again that the project is falling further behind schedule. And the workers are beyond tired from continuously ascending and descending into the tunnel all day and night, so of course the tunnel repairs fall further behind schedule.

A more probable explanation might be obtained by searching for a carbon monoxide leak or other poison-induced mind altered state of working in the tunnel. Of course once you return to the surface from investigating the results taken will be invalid as you've only been gone a moment so how could that reading possibly have been accurate.
I don't understand: Wouldn't Apple just remove their app from the app once they touch payments? Someone will be bitten by compliance, and if Telegram is able to circumvent that then the bucket stops with Apple.

This is what has stopped me from doing payment in my apps until now - you never know when some apple or google employee decides to smash you in the face with the ban hammer.

This year I'm committed to launching 12 projects in 12 months.
For January, I took a couple of days out and built API Console

https://apiconsole.io/

NOTE: the website was "heavily inspired by" (copied from) ZeroNet.io - I built the whole thing in 2 days, didn't have time to make my own.

The aim is to have it making some money, but I'd really appreciate any feedback on the copy, pitching, etc. Copy is NOT my strong point (though I'm learning).

Any feedback is welcome, but I'd primarily appreciate the following:
- Framing/Pitching of the product
- Copy
- Product/idea itself
- Should I continue developing it before I get email addresses?
My office at work is on the other side of the building from everyone else and has no windows (I chose no windows over having people nearby). If I don't have a clock displayed on my taskbar the only sign I know it's time to eat or go home is the siren for the people who work in the factory on site.

Word of warning: Hardware from Emotiv (e.g. Insight) is just complete garbage, and the company clearly does not care much about anything beyond moving as many devices as possible. The hardware is crap, the app is crap, and for example the electrodes in the hardware have like max a couple months' worth of life in them. You can't even buy replacements for all the electrodes you need. Just complete garbage.

I held onto them for years because it didn't seem worth selling them for nothing. Obviously, I'm now happy I did.
It's a good story. What is most frustrating about time is that we humans lack the technology to harness it. We have conquered flight and made all kinds of other technological leaps, but it is going to take something far more than digging a simple tunnel to conquer time.

There was a vimeo video depicting light leaving the sun and moving towards the planets in our solar system. The video is in real time. It takes about 500 seconds for the photon you are traveling with to reach Earth. But it feels like forever! Then it takes several looooong minutes for you to make it all the way out to Jupiter. It is then you realize how limiting the speed of light is. The speed of freaking light! So we either have to find a way to work around that limitation or we're going nowhere fast.
Under current law (the ACA), the maximum annual payment would be $7,350 (on top of monthly insurance premiums).

That's for the lowest benefit, qualifying ACA plans and assuming the prescription is covered. The "cash" price is ~$4000 a month (https://www.goodrx.com/humira ) so even the lowest benefit plans are kicking in quite a bit of support (but probably also negotiating the price down quite a bit).

As for good games with educational value, I'd point to obvious examples like Kerbal Space Program (makes 12 years old learn the math behind rocketry and orbital dynamics), Minecraft (can make kids learn to program), Zachtronics games like SpaceChem or Shenzhen I/O, and ultimately any narrative-heavy game as a good way for kids from non-English-speaking countries to learn English.

They will all sell for that price if supply and demand are equal. Sellers will ask for at least as much as the value of the last trade, buyers will offer no more than the value of the last trade. When there is an imbalance then either buyer or seller must compromise by offering more or asking less, repsectively. These figures are based on trades that have happened in the last few seconds so it's more realistic than in some other markets.

Cofounder & CTO here - happy to answer any questions! My heart is filled with joy today to finally launch this product.

The project has been an entire year, full-time, in the making. It started when I tried selling software that I had written as a side project. I saw two very big problems with the digital marketplaces online:

1. One company owns most of the marketplaces. Fees start in a tier, at 50%. Others like Creative Market are better (30% flat), but still seems excessive. I did a whole lot of spreadsheet math and determined 18% is more than fair for both creators and the company.

2. Engineers: do you like downloading Zip archives to get updates? Me either. I made the platform with deep Git integration. Customers can type `git pull` to get updates, or add the CDN urls to their package managers. Creators can use branches and tags as they see fit to manager their products. And hey, if your customers aren't technical, they can still download archives & see all Git commits in their dashboard.

So here I am one year later, finally complete (unit tests and all!). I'm a classic ENFJ personality. Please send me any feedback, good, bad, or downright mean :-)

Cheers!

Why Brigade doesn't do YAML: scripting for Kubernetes clusters
Two points:
1) Much of the repairs were done to the lift shafts, which judging from the story seems outside the time anomalies zone of influence.

2) If a worker in the tunnel completed a day's work instantly, the worker would have still completed a days work and would need to go home and rest.
You could, in theory, have a rolling start time, so the worker has 15 hours rest and then is required to come into work again. Unfortunately, legislation doesn't really account for time anomalies and so this would likely fall foul of Union and EU standards.
The article is specifically about terms of art as used within the discipline. So it's fine for it to be prescriptive.

My personal hope is that this type of development will lead to the solution of one of the biggest problems with neural networks: their intransparency.

If the result of the learning and optimization is not just a bunch of weights in a graph, but a readable algorithm, that would be a huge step forward into seeing what was really learned. Also, the results might be more stable against the usual Deep Learning attacks.

Of course, the result would read more like disassembled machine code, but that's still better than what we had before. Human tasks might then include finding good variable names, rearranging the code for clarity, etc. That is, typical reverse engineering work.
The timescales involved in the manufacture of this mirror are amazing. I love the way this guy just casually states things like:

"we then cool the glass ... for a few months"

"the mirror will sit for the next year while we machine the back surface flat"

"that final polishing process ... takes about 18 months"

It's kind of mind blowing for it to take so long to make a single object.

I find the fear that sex robots will encourage violence against women or "objectification" (I'm curious what kind of research backs up that concept in general) is dubious at best. Do dildos cause women to look at a man as an inconvenient attachment to an object for her sexual gratification? Does simulated violence in video games make people more violent? People are fully capable of separating fiction from reality. In either case, they will know what they are interacting with.

The real fear here is women (and eventually men) potentially having to compete with sex dolls in the sexual marketplace. While I'd prefer to have a relationship with a real woman, I have seen plenty of men online who cannot wait for more realistic artificial women so they simply don't have to deal with real women. The likelihood of crossover of someone who would buy a sex robot vs trying to get in a relationship with a real woman would be pretty low. The desires are different.

In fact, I'd argue this could lower violence, crime, and social unrest in general. There is a growing population of men who are deciding to check out from the sexual marketplace, or at least long term relationships. If these men have a different outlet than a real woman, they can do as they please to their robotic counterparts. Not to mention, a robot isn't invincible and wouldn't have the same kind of self-healing capabilities as a human. If you are beating it, you could likely break it in some way. It would be like keying your own car; though there's a comedian who pointed out the same when it comes to beating your wife, so who knows.

Either way I'm kind of ambivalent towards this, but I don't think these feminists are being honest in why they think it is potentially a bad thing. If anything it will cause the divide between the sexes to get deeper. Which I think is bad for humanity in general.

Is this a problem on HN? I haven't noticed it. You must have said something really atrocious. And the comment above you make reference to, though a bit tactless, is OK in my opinion.
> The idea is that sometimes you have a parameter somewhere which needs optimization

I don't get you. If I'm reading the summary correctly, the point of the paper is to have machine-learning sculpt a Forth program, not to have machine-learning optimise some constant used in a given program.

From the summary:

> our interpreter is able to effectively leverage different levels of prior program structure and learn complex behaviours such as sequence sorting and addition

Of course, if by 'parameter' you mean subroutine, the two ideas are rather similar - just define your parameter to be 'a Forth word that meets the spec'.

Aside: why Forth went with 'word' over something standard like 'function', I don't know.
Potatoes are special. If you eat them with the skin, they are the most complete food.

Exactly that's the problem: The author is ignoring the syntax issue, that is, the fact that the vast majority of non-Haskell programmers won't be able to make much sense of the the code examples.
