Why are we pretending this is unique or new to smartphones.

Television has worked this way for a long time, all media and advertising has worked on the same principals.

Instead of pretending this is "new and scary", we should be focusing on understanding the impacts and limits, and how much is too much, rather than this grey and white false narrative that smartphones are somehow solely responsible for the increasingly intrusive advertisements and attention grabbing reality we've been constructing for decades longer than smartphones have been around.
Prop. 13 also creates problems with housing supply for people who haven't yet been able to transition to home ownership. It's difficult to strike a good balance here.
Which is the more simple object: an apple, or an internal combustion engine?

I don't agree. The gender bias of a profession this year is dependent on the gender bias from previous years. They would only become more biased over time if the previous bias favored hiring new entrants to the field that are more biased.

If there is an imbalance in intrinsic inchoate biases, such as if men tended to unconsciously hire 55% men and 45% women, whereas women preferred to hire 50% each, then an initial 50-50 split, but with no other biases in play after someone enters the field, would drift towards an equilibrium at around .5263 men and .4737 women. More men magnify the male bias towards males.

My other assumption was that early movers have a magnified effect on the future of the field. Think about how any arbitrary decisions made by Turing or von Neumann could still be affecting computing today, like the sign convention for the charge on an electron--that could have been +1 instead of -1, and many of the signs in physics equations would be flipped. If a female had been making those decisions, we might be using a different computing paradigm that would better match female thought patterns. Computing as we now know it initially came about through the confluence of war and academia. Mathematicians designed machines to aim artillery pieces and automate military-grade ciphers, and then to automatically break automated ciphers. The development of computing has occurred rapidly and recently, and after air travel and telephony, such that there really is only one global culture for it. The body of work is already so large, and readily available to everyone, that starting from a different foundation today really does require the fictional time stasis bubble that I described.

You would have to look back into history, when culture barriers were stronger, to look for examples of computing devices that may have been used preferentially by men or women.
Yes, it should have an effect. Hard to say how noticeable it will be.

"As screen technology for both VR headsets and smartphone screens continue to advance towards 4K resolution (and beyond), the impact of the screen-door effect will be further mitigated."
Gaming is a totally different ecosystem to what Google builds. I want something very different from my entertainment than from my information-seeking and business services.
It is not so optional though. Living in China without a phone is very hard to do. Having spent time there just a few months ago many places wouldn't take cash and even did not have enough cash to make change.

The cameras I think are impossible to avoid. I read an article recently where the police found a man within 7 minutes or something using the cctv system.
Professional athletes make for a good study population because they tend to keep records of their training/performance/injury status. Also their behavior influences painkiller consumption in the population at large through endorsements or just interviews on their fitness regimen. If you like sports and know your favorite athlete uses a certain class of product to deal with cramps, you're likely to recall that when you're in the drugstore looking to alleviate a similar problem.
But whose 24 hour clock? Should we all be on GMT? That's arbitrary and eurocentric. And let's get rid of those pesky arbitrary time zones too. We should all be able to have our own personal time zones.

You don't need a doctor to figure out a treatment plan, you just need to put in some time to get familiar with reading research papers, the terminology, how researchers describe things, and the methodology used to move from animal to human exploratory studies. And an understanding of the risk - as doctors are usually pretty bad at explaining that in any case. It really isn't rocket science, and it is all copiously documented in scientific and other literature.

Also D+Q isn't administered monthly, it is a one-off treatment that, assuming it works in humans in the same way it does in mice, certainly wouldn't need to be done more than once every few years. It removes the cells it can remove, and then isn't going to do any more until new senescent cells arise at their slow pace. The people out there taking it frequently as though it were a supplement are just not acting sensibly, and don't understand the research.
Why is the resolution still so low?

Why not even 4K combined?
It's a shame. You either get good controllers, or good roomscale tracking. I couldn't forego the latter, so I'm just hoping the Vive Knuckles are released soon.
Does this also mean that areas that rarely get snowfall also have a lower rate of heart attacks?
My thought is that, in some ways, Landin would be disappointed that Haskell/Prolog/Scala/OCaml etc., are all implementing whole languages from scratch -- Landin's argument, as I read it, is that devising a new ISWIM variant should be about as easy as writing your own Lisp.

That said, it does feel like the ML and Haskell communities really have taken up that spirit, with their emphases on multiple implementations and relatively ease of extension.
Good points, we will make it more clear. Feel free to email us to discuss in detail. I see from your comment history your concern about privacy and don't want to lose a user because of a misunderstanding about our intentions.

Well, that is more like a German thing then a Apple Pay/Google Pay thing. Credit cards are frowned upon in Germany, so the acceptance is pretty low compared to other places in the world. Most chains nowadays support card payments but it is still not accepted anywhere. And even stores that accept cards, they will most likely only accept “EC cards”. EC cards are German debit cards that only work in Germany (though some banks offer dual card which use the EV system in Germany and maestro aboard). They have very low fees compared to credit cards though (I believe it is only 15cents per Guaranteed transaction but their pricing model is very confusing).

Credit cards are accepted prettily reliable in supermarkets such as Rewe and Aldi but even other big (and more expensive chains) such as Edeka often only accept EC cards, which is pretty frustrating. EC cards are accepted at more places but you can still find many restaurants that don’t accept any cards at all and many local stores will laugh at you when you try to use anything but cash. If you find a place that takes them, chances are they have some restrictions such as that cards are only accpected for purchases over a certain amount (amount being 10€ or 20€). Most taxis don’t accept them either and those that do charge a 3€ fee.

Whenever I’m with my family and they see me buy a coke or anything under 10€ using my credit card they feel somewhat ashamed because they are not sure why I would do that. Most of them take a credit card quite literally: you only use it when you want to buy something you cannot afford and have to take a credit for that. Now when they see my checking out, they are often surprised how quick the process is (it often takes only a second from them activating they terminal until my card is accept but some stores use slow devices which can take up to 5 seconds).

The reason why we don’t have Apple Pay at all is because we don’t accept cards. And when we accept credit cards, chances are they are also contactless. The only place that didn’t have them are my gas station and the pet store (though the pet store upgraded recently). This means, if you are a foreigner and you find a place that takes a credit card, you can use Apple Pay but the store clerk might be confused and call their manager (they once did that to me when I used contact less payments because they did not know you could use your card like that and also I did not enter my pin and the receipt had no sign here line. They still made my sign the receipt though).
(I work for Google payments, opinions are my own)

I believe this process has been improved in the last year to more easily change your country. I'm not sure when you went through it, but understand that it can be a complicated problems due to different regulations for payment related activity and digital goods. Like some countries Google is required to verify your tax id with the government to even buy 99 cent app.
The good news is after having no feed for well over a year I can now imagine just deleting Facebook and never coming back. Only reason I don’t is because it’s a decent way to reach people, but once that’s no longer the case, it’s gone.

Fair enough, I should have specified that I was thinking of the American upper class, which I think is typically based primarily on wealth, rather than a parallel social hierarchy.
Most 409a valuations will value the common at around 1/3rd the price of the last preferred and of course you need to discount the preferred lower in the stack so it’s not as simple as #outstanding shares x $highest preferred unless you have a liquidity event where someone has set the price for the common shares.
Yes, because human life has value beyond their earning potential.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Maybe you should consider building the first implantable lens, so you can shape the way that the technology develops.
Yeah, I have to say "Common drug X has negative side effects after sustained daily exposure to high dosages" is hardly surprising. The study says participants were given 1200mg per day for six weeks. For reference, a typical ibuprofen capsule in the US is 200mg.

I'm sure this result is useful for the medical community or men specifically dealing with hypogonadism, but it doesn't seem to have a great deal of relevance to the average consumer who uses ibuprofen for occasional pain relief.
Keep adding obligations to landlords to the point no one wants to be one. Then, if you can't, for any reason, secure a mortgage your only alternative is homeless. Sounds like a good idea.
The number of participants required to show an effect should be shown by power analysis. It depends a lot on the effect being investigated. An arbitrary number like 200 is not helpful.
> If you eat above your calorific output, you'll gain weight.

How does this account for the fact that lots of young people have difficulty gaining weight, no matter what they eat, until a certain age? Obviously not all young people, but lots even who play the Xbox or watch TV all day (i.e., little muscle mass and little physical activity).

By the way, one thing that helps me keep my weight and appearance under control is "planking", 3x 1.5 min a day (I also do it in the office, and I can read HN on my phone while doing it because I rest on my elbows). In times when I don't exercise enough, it keeps my belly flat, even when I have some fat in the mid-section. Combined with some simple yoga, it's also a nice way to de-stress during the day (keeping cortisol in check is an often forgotten factor in staying lean).
Failure is simply an opportunity to start again
You’ll probably never see a flight or a movie or something start right at 12:00; it’s just so much clearer at a glance to see that 11:55 AM/PM.

It would not surprise me if Sanskrit had some odd features, because Sanskrit as we know it is derived from the language of the ancient hymns.

For about 1000 years before writing starts in India, we have the language developing in the hands of bards singing for ritual reasons to audiences which increasingly could not understand the words. So for many centuries it was evolving under pressures very different from normal language.

Eventually, it regained broader application, but still a an elite language and thus still had unusual evolutionary pressures.
Structural Eye Color Is Amazing
Even if you eliminate time zones, you still end up having to do lookups whenever you're communicating across zones. E.g. "If I call my brother now from SFBA, is it normal daytime hours in Switzerland?" Knowing that right now is 15:00 GMT doesn't help answer that question.
I don't think it's a feature that's binned off. Intel used to bin off virtualization support (which PCID is technically part off), but they added PCID after they stopped binning on virtualization support.
I have both but I prefer the Vive optics and tracking to the point that I never bring the Rift out. The only thing about the Touch controllers that I miss is the grip button; I think the Vive controllers are fine otherwise.

Basically it's like a progressive tax system. How the income is sourced doesn't affect the budget expenditure in the end. And instead of varying on your income bracket, it varies on how early you got in the queue, which has nothing to do with fairness.

i.e., if you want to change the budget expenditure (how many people live in SF), shifting how the budget income is sourced wouldn't help.
Smokey told you not to play with matches. Way back in time one of your ancestors told another of your ancestors not to play in the crocodile-infested Limpopo river. Frank Zappa sings about some parents warning their children to watch where the huskies go and not to eat that yellow snow.

Sometimes it is necessary to warn people about something. They can make up their own mind about what to do instead, it is not as if the internet is useless without Facebook (et al) after all? Do you really think it is necessary to tell people what to use instead of Facebook when the options are so abundant and clear, not to mention the fact that they were around when Facebook was naught but a glint in the eye of whomever M.Z. got the idea from?
Maybe not. Given Australia's distance from other populated countries (okay, the US), the added distance to travel to Melbourne on a single flight may be non-trivial. Additionally, the amount of travel on a given day to Australia might not be enough for an airline to dedicate large 747 or A380 routes to multiple airports; people flying 16 hours over the Pacific might not expect a nonstop flight regardless. Hence, Sydney became a defacto hub for much of Australia's air travel. And once you're already paying one airline to get you there, you might as well take their connection to Melbourne, rather than pay another vendor, collect your baggage, find the train station, etc.

Just this past May I flew from SFO to MEL. My options on United were SFO-SYD-MEL or SFO-LAX-MEL. I actually preferred the Sydney connection because I reasoned a missed connection in Sydney wouldn't put me off my journey by much, but a missed connection at 9pm in LAX would ensure I'd lose at last half a day if not a whole day getting to Australia. Ultimately I went with the SFO-LAX-MEL route for 2 reasons; the Sydney option routed me on Qantas for the Australia "domestic" leg and I didn't get any miles for it, plus the LAX-MEL route was served by a 787 which I deemed preferable for its potential to reduce jet lag (jury's still out on that one).

The advent of smaller planes like the 787 serving MEL from, one would hope, an increasing number of US cities, might take stress off of SYD.
You can't "mandate" stuff like that in the US like you mandate everything in the EU. Chip readers at least had a security prerogative and most places still don't have that enabled because it's slow and doesn't work half the time.
For me it really comes down to price and what the reviews will say. If it's just a few hundred bucks (I wouldn't bet on it) and the reviewers go "OMG I can really read text on my in-world desktop now!" I might upgrade.

The wireless adapter is a more likely candidate. The cable does limit my movements due to the way the PC is placed (beyond one corner of the play area, rather than along one long side, as would be optimal; I need it under my desk) and I was already tempted by TPCast, but holding off due to not-so-enthusiastic reviews and reports that HTC was working on a better solution with Intel.
He mentioned in one of his interviews that very few left wing outlets would even invite him to interviews.

Of the ones that did, it was heavily edited to present a certain bad narrative of him.
That's true for most European countries, but not America.

I was recommended 1200mg/day for carpal tunnel inflammation, and it helped.
I believe the actual answer is that there is no 12:00 AM or PM. You're meant to say "twelve noon" or "twelve midnight" rather than AM or PM for this exact reason.

"actual answer" is maybe a bit strong - I read it somewhere but I can't remember where. The site or book or wherever it was that I read that did seem quite authoritative on the matter, however!
It really does take an American economist to come up with the idea that price controls drive prices up.

"And that in turn prevents flight from San Francisco itself. “We find that absent rent control essentially all of those incentivized to stay in their apartments would have otherwise moved out of San Francisco,” note the economists. Yikes."

This is like saying that had demand decreased prices would also have decreased. Well duh. The more people you price out of SFO the cheaper it gets. You could also increase supply if the people living there weren't such assholes. I'm so glad I left the Bay area with its fucked up politics and other assorted BS.
That's not entirely true and doesn't really convey the right message about p-values or study size. P-hacking and selection bias are definite concerns, but they're also concerns for studies with 200, or more, participants. Rather, we should put more of an emphasis on the statistical power of the study. We're not yet in the beautiful golden world of pre-registered studies, but even high-n studies can have huge disparities due to bad statistical power (eg: The Control Group is Out of Control).
The other big killer is pooping.

No joke. If someone at potential risk of a heart attack seems winded or has pain, don’t let them sit on the toilet. That clenching stops your heart.
I know there are plenty of people who want to feel like the masters of the universe. But the bulk of the upper class in the US (the economic class) is composed of professionals like doctors, lawyers, investment bankers, engineers, etc. If you take a broad sampling of those people, most of them are in it more for the nice houses, cars, vacations, interesting work, social esteem, and freedom.
Absolutely.

Happy to get some feedback on that as well :)
That's GP's point -- their answer is a joke, taking the piss out of the questioner by providing the standard fatuous reply.
But it was a start to English proficiency, without the (little) you learned in school I doubt you would've been able to learn as much from TV and reading books, because you need to start somewhere.
I've taken entirely too much Ibuprofen - I've had a lot of babies. Since the sample size of this study is 31 people, I say that my one case is significant and this study is bunk.

That's why you can't rely on a study of 31 people.
It’s worth noting that a legal version, extracted from Hemp (a form of Cannabis that has no psychoactive properties), is available via mail order anywhere in the U.S.
Because there are explicit examples of this with supporting evidence given in the lawsuit.
> it might be a good cautionary reminder to consider exceptions like what you pointed out.

It's not just a single exception, it's a huge class of counterexamples which is the focus of study for much of the field of condensed matter physics.
There aren't that much of cues when you are the only car in a highway (I use them as a passenger too, but mostly when I drive alone for a long distance, usually somewhere remote, listening a podcast).

As for cues, the vibration from road surface is still there and plenty of cars come with ANC built-in. These headphones don't block noise completely, things like police alarms, honks or speech are still very easy to hear. I can even hear the wind from AC vents (if it blows directly into ANC's mic's).
Here is a study[0] which directly contradicts that claim:

"Thus, the higher dose of ibuprofen (2400 mg per day) was not superior to either the dose of acetaminophen (4000 mg per day) or the lower dose of ibuprofen (1200 mg per day) for pain relief or improvement of function."

One thing I still don't understand about all this:

Why is there still a (smaller) performance hit from the KPTI patch when PCID is used?
Exactly. Technology makes the highs higher and the lows lower. It's just an amplifier for human nature.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Do you actually write code to solve problems yourself or are you more into paying others to do the same? I honestly don't know which alternative would be worst here. What I do know is that this attitude isn't serving us. We're in the business of solving really tricky problems, forcing ourselves to do that using dumbed down tools to protect us from our own intelligence and creativity is insane.
That would only be the case in the models where senescence is blocked completely.

If instead for a short time killing some fraction of all currently existing senescent cells, the effect on cancer risk should be a reduction, due to decreased inflammatory signaling from those cells. The senescent cells that are hanging around at any given moment in time aren't helping you in any way; they're not reducing the risk of cancer. If there are enough of them, they are in fact increasing the risk of cancer due to messing with the surrounding environment. If those senescent cells ever actually helped, then that help was applied at the time the cell became senescent - and shortly thereafter it became a liability that should be destroyed.

There are emerging exceptions to that view, such as adaptive senescence in the immune system and possibly in support cells in the brain, but fortunately both of those should be largely moot points for the early senolytic therapies, and don't seem to be obstacles in old mice.
