This might be seen as pedantic and focusing on too strict a definition of happiness, but thinking about it in the way I describe below has helped me.

What works for me is focusing on what is meaningful and paying less attention to being happy. Happiness is a fleeting emotion - or if you want to define happiness as a state of being rather than an emotion, it's still fleeting. It can even be an inappropriate response to much of life. Would it be appropriate to be sad for weeks or months if you lost a loved one such as a close family member or pet? Sure. Rather than trying to avoid the sadness and replace it with happiness, you can just try to find a way to make the experience meaningful to you. Changing the question about what I'm seeking in life has been really useful. What I'm seeking is not happiness. Emotions give us such a rich and authentic experience of life. Why seek out just one? What we should be seeking out are healthy ways of living through whatever emotion or state of being is appropriate to the situation.
I was talking about the combo of tracking + ads, especially as they lead to misaligned incentives for me and Google. Google ultimately wants to sell more ads. It doesn't care about me as a software user. A company that sells (subscription) software does.
Am I interpreting this correctly:

- Margin positions will remain open

- Margin liquidations will be paused for at least 48 hours

So if bitcoin makes any big moves in the next 48 hours, there won't be any margin calls and the traders might end up with a giant debt to kraken because the positions won't automatically close? This sounds like extremely risky, and if I'm correct, might make Kraken go bankrupt if the moves are big enough, taking down with it everyone's assets still on Kraken.

> Withdrawals are now disabled and will remain disabled for a minimum of 12 hours

Can't even secure your assets for the next 12 hours if you wanted to.

Let's hope for Kraken that the coins trade sideways the next 48 hours.

Now assign some agreeable value to $ACTIVITY.

Pencils are cheap, good leadholders are not. A decent pencil costs 0,50€, an amazing one 2€. Good 2mm leads alone are in the premium woodcase pencil price range.

Pencils can be quickly swapped for different hardness. Swapping the lead grade in a holder is much more involved. Some artists may even find subtle differences between brands of pencils and may prefer to quickly swap.

Leadholders are almost invariably quite thick. The feel in hand is very different from the slim woodcase pencil.

Whenever I write by hand, I tend to prefer a fountain pen, a mechanical or a woodcase pencil. Writing with a Mitsubishi Hi-Uni or Tombow Mono 100 pencil, for those who can appreciate it, is a cheap luxury. Pencils are higly versatile writing instruments. I'm left handed and heavy handed and prefer H or 2H pencils to prevent smudging. Writers like Vladimir Nabokov praised the Eberhard Faber Blackwing (about 2B on a typical modern pencil scale, although these aren't standardized) for its smooth, almost pen-like glide.

American manufacturers can't compete in lowest price, but they might in best quality. The Germans and Japanese already do.
What is the problem of wealth being concentrated? Common people do not need wealth to earn money, they earn money from jobs. Gradually business will see it needs consumers to grow further and some measures will be taken to make these people more productive to be able to earn and spend, as rich don't exist in a vacuum.

Thanks for the analysis. This is one of my main PS issues in that all the obvious ways are in fact wrong. I tried 3-4 different file write methods before and all were unbearably slow.
It's almost the same. It's the same players putting up the same things.
For me, as a non-practitioner (I'm happy with my GOFAI, thank you), the big problem with neural nets is that there are too many architectures, each tailored to a specific problem. On the one hand it's great that there's a broad toolset, on the other hand there are so many competing claims about best-of-class performance that it's hard to know what is even the state of the art. There is too much noise, you know?

So it'd be nice to see a result that reduced the noise a bit. I'm afraid this one doesn't fit the bill. It's not so much reducing architectural options, as piling even more architecture on top of the already sprawling mass of architecture. It's got architecture hanging from its architecture!

I mean, come on- one component is a gated-mixture-of-experts, which is to say, a collective of feed-forward nets. There are just so many layers upon layers of choices to make for each type of network to use for each component of the entire model. How do you make these choices?

Or, think about how long this specific architecture is going to give state-of-the art results (as claimed). It uses normalised ReLu convolution blocks- the height of fashion, at the moment, but what happens in four years from now, when nobody uses that anymore, because it's so 2010's?

ANN research frustrates me like this. It's describing an art form, but I'm not sure that's really the most useful thing to do.
The governance in India has stagnated and haven't kept pace with changing times. I thing the problem is its half-born federal structure. Without the states having sufficient power to enact meaningful policy, there is little or no competition between the states, because of the fact that there is barely anything to differentiate between them.
If you always liked learning stuff but don't have any time, find out how to get more time. Time is the only truly finite resource so getting more is always worthwhile.

As far as happiness is concerned, I'd read the paper causes and correlates of happiness. Make sure you address the most significant areas. If you already do, you might just have a low generic setpoint. Unfortunately genetics have a lot to do with intrinsic happiness. Not much you can do the beyond medication.

And far as social interaction goes, your best bet is to find a pre-existing social group with a shared interest. Building a community is hard but thankfully plenty of other people have already put in the hard work.
Still getting 522s and intermittent site under maintenance notices. The trading system being unavailable is one thing, but not being able to keep a web application up under a moderate amount of traffic really does not inspire confidence in the engineering behind their service.

Almost all of the exchanges still scream hobbyist; even (and perhaps notoriously) coinbase is crazily unprofessional given the ludicrously large fees they charge. They need to improve their game, or when Schwab / ETrade / Ameritrade finally wake up and smell the coffee they'll take the market.
I think the classic in this from is "cryptonomicon" by neal stephenson. This got me thinking about the implications of secure anonymous transactions years ago, well before any general public knowlegde of blockchain/bitcoin type concepts.

What is the role goverment is they can't tax people/companies? How does a government fulfill that role if they can't raise money?
I now see 522 errors! That is an improvement though, I guess...
Just as a logged in now it presented links to msn articles on the login page. Yes: it was really nicely and tastefully done but it really worries me.

I've also had the login background turn into an ad for a game.

That time I and a number of others reported it quite loudly IIRC and since then I can't remember seeing anything like that before today.

And yes, ads in the start menu are real as well.
Except Macau, although China, is really different. Hong Kong Chinese are influenced by the British presence there for so many years, and the Macanese by the Portuguese. Believe me it is Las Vegas in SE Asia except it is built upon a lot of history. Not like Las Vegas which sprung up out of the desert based upon a mobster's dreams of a mobster-type city - gambling, booze and the rest.
It's not all about risk. The person interviewing you is going to be drawing inferences about your character --- so exactly what you did will really matter.

If you were 19 with a 15 year old girlfriend, that's something many people wouldn't immediately condemn. Similarly, if you got caught having consenting sex in a bathroom, or even if you exposed yourself to a cop at a gay beat --- these are things some people will understand.

Even if you had child porn but never offended, you might eventually find an employer who would consider you to be making the best of a bad situation.

I don't think there's much hope of convincing an employer to trust you if you actually raped someone.
The problem is that for a lot of banks there is no easy way to automate that process. I think 90 percent of use cases would be addressed simply by providing a way of giving automated read only access to statements.

Yes, one of my old favorite haunts. You can go ice skating or bowling just nearby, which was one of my first memorable experiences living there back in 2007.

I lived all over Macau, but for many years near Hac Sa beach in Coloane. I read a book "I Sailed with Chinese Pirates" by Aleko E. Lilius first published in 1930 with lurid accounts of pirates and murder as the forward reads. I used to stare out my window at the islets off the coast and imagine Lai Choi San the famous woman pirate!

I think that's only some of the software stack, LoRa transceiver chips themselves AFAIK still only are made by a few companies, on license from Semtech? I think even with that, LoRaWAN is one of the more open and easy to get parts for LPWAN technologies though.
Yes, that era ended with Win7.

Win8, Win8.1, Win10 ... not so much, hostile to the user, bad UI, sends data home, a train wreck, and the forced update, don't get me started. If they ever want to turn around, they need to make a u-turn and fire the responsible guys asap. And revert back to Win7 and WinAPI. (Yes the underpinning is still WinNT based and might be a slight improvement, but contains so many bad decisions like whitelisting various phone home IPs in kernel mode network driver, that's it's time to stop and revert). This Metro/Silverlight, Universal nonesense doesn't fly anyway, a store without apps. My bet is on Google Fuchsia (or Android, ChromeOS) to take over desktop til 2020.
Then find yourself a Long Term Servicing Branch iso. The last Windows 10 Creators update trashed all the developer workstations in my company and made them unusable. The only knock on LTSB is the Linux-on-Windows stuff isn't there. Otherwise, it's Windows 10 without the bullshit and with added stability.
The remark you quoted of mine was that a lot of the ex-pats were parochial, and didn't venture to really get to know the place as most people do by habit seeking the comfortable, hence a British-style pub to feel at home in. I like to live within the culture of where I am visiting / working, and get to know its people and history. There's still a lot of "we're better than them" going on in HK and Macau from the Brits and other ex-pats there.

I don't have data to back it up. But this simply is not correct. Social norms have changed over the last few decades and that alone means the percentage of working women have gone up. Very few of the women of my age group are housewives, which was the default a few decades back.
Not equally, but if you pay X% of taxes then ~X% of the national debt is effectively yours. Either through interest payments or failure to lower taxes in the future.

Yes, there is some wiggle room if the tax burden shifts again, but if your taxes are dropping significantly less than average as a % of overall revenue you are going to be significantly worse off in the future. (Assuming you're not going to die soon.)

Cutting spending works, cutting taxes is meaningless without that.
it is all about different labels...and different labels have different visibility, in terms of effort to get to that information...so I guess by narrowing unflagging privilege to a very small group of users, the mod hopes to make it significantly more difficult for people to advocate a certain post here through purposeful manipulation...thus perhaps “unflagging” capability, as one of the last lines of defense, is only given to a very small group of ultimately verified users, through manual assignment or some thrshold based on percentage rather than an absolute karma value...

that’s my guess...
I was working the show The House of Dancing Water there as mentioned by someone above. I was operating and maintaining the show action equipment for the show - underwater hydraulic lifts, pool filtration, LN2 system, overhead rigging and other venues on the premises like the club and the 'Bubble' theater, an egg-shaped building that was the largest projection dome at one point I believe. My work included the standard desk-based O&M for a unique facility such as this, and diving and repairing and inspecting the underwater hydraulics, electric and safety systems. The pool is almost 10 meters deep at center, and runs under the audience seating - 17 million liters of water in all!

I am a true introvert and nerd at heart but I fake being an extrovert really well. Fortunately I got married and had kids young, so loneliness is not even a possibility for me now. My wife is a huge extrovert and expert on human behavior so she has helped me a lot. As for what really makes me happy, learning something new (usually compsci related) always seems to excite me. Also I love cooking, writing and recording music, or calligraphy and art, stuff like that. I have no problem performing music in front of large audiences but if I had to make a speech, I'd choke.

Truth be told, I hate parties and large crowds and people in general piss me off, but I think it's bot a bad idea to fake extrovertedness. People are generally unaware they of the difference.

I am not experienced with startups and funding. I am experienced in 'selling' my ideas to clients or executives. So I dunno if this advice is relevant or not to your situation. Its certainly relevant to general principles of clarity and communication, which, hopefully, is relevant in most fields, even silicon valley startups.

To improve your landing page I would..

immediately establish the following points as tersely and clearly as possible, ie If you can do one of them with 4 words great!.

1. Whats wrong with conventional dog food

2. Whats your better idea

and then, smaller, slightly more detailed points..

3. Very briefly whats your plan to make this happen.

4. What do you need to carry out this plan

I would also, eliminate any cruft that isnt really saying anything that isnt necessary eg. this whole paragraph

"
How am I going to do it?
I'm going to use my software engineering and entrepreneurial experience. My technical experience goes pretty deep, well beyond just a software engineer. I can do things with a computer not even I understand. This gives me an edge over a lot of things. When I want to learn something I just do it. So here I am.
"

You dont need to say "hey I'm a good software guy".

If you propose this idea well, readers will assume youre capable of carrying it out. No-one will ever state the negative of that eg. "I'm a really bad unreliable lazy worker and I dont care about this" so you dont need to state the positive.

Also dont say youre good and enthusiastic, show them with a clear impressive presentation.

Overall imo the site is too conversational while also being too light on actual information, its like youre waffling.
I understand the frustration. I'm just getting into ANNs myself and the options are overwhelming. Trying to keep up with the state of the art is definitely a challenge. However, if you have a model that gives you the accuracy you need for whatever problem you're trying to solve, why not just stick with it? One of the nice things about using Neural nets these days is there's a lot of great software and infrastructure available for training and serving models.
Thank you! Glad to know more about it after all this time.

Thank you for React! The other day I was tired of working and decided to engage in some “recreation” by upgrading 15.4->16.2. It was really smooth.
Warnings introduced in 15.6 made it even easier. Ran some code mods, updated some dependencies. Done. The new excellent error handling jumps out at you right and away.

Yep, you can always figure out a way to make money, but you can never make time. There's probably a clear song lyric in there somewhere but I can't see it yet.
The original dataset already contained the names, addresses and coordinates of each restaurant. Finding the restaurant ids does not reveal any additional information. It just makes it easier to reveal recent information from yelp which is available through their API anyway
That also means these most people won’t have acceptable work conditions and other employee rights that the formal sector has.
That’s a great tip, thanks!

I still have bias in my heart for Cantonese having heard it growing up in Brooklyn, and visiting NYC Chinatown. That and all of the kung fu movies I used to go see at the Coliseum theater back in Sunset Park Brooklyn and Times Square when I was a kid in the 70s. I learned some Cantonese living over in Macau for over 7 years. Not as much as I would have liked compared to my other languages when living for less time in other places. I wound up learning Indonesian more than Cantonese.

I love the HK 80s movies - cop dramas, ro-coms, etc... I like to make the completely silly comparisoin that Cantonese is like Brooklyn english compared to Mandarin which is like British english. It's got so much flavor. I love HK and Macau for that, and I wish I has spent more time in Guangzhou where some of my buddies were from and Cantonese is spoken.

> Thus they decided to do permissions checking in parallel with other operations, leading to Spectre

No. Leading to Meltdown. Spectre is fundamental to the way we approached any speculative execution until now.
The headline is completely bogus. The author switched both the filesystem from HFS+ to APFS and the Meltdown patch was applied. This effect cannot be attributed to just one of them without further testing.
> This brings to mind articles and discussions I read in the early 90s about differences in performance between running in real (or "unreal") mode and protected mode

I remember a 10 years old Microsoft Research project that implemented an OS that would use the .NET managed runtime to implement security. IIRC, they had interesting differences with CPU memory isolation off.

I like the idea that you don't need hardware barriers to isolate programs when they are lobotomized.
