It is a nice thought, but, no, no one wants to hear about my journey with my disease. I blog about it for three reasons:

1. Trying to keep my sanity in the face of being unable to talk about it anywhere else while the world tells me I imagined the entire thing.

2. It serves as a useful record for me to look back on and help me with some things.

3. One individual with my condition whose number was up tracked me down after I disappeared off all CF lists. They didn't want to die and were willing to take a gamble on "a crazy lady" on the internet. They have gotten stronger instead of dying. I feel a personal sense of obligation to this individual.

But it might make more sense to remove that blog from my Patreon profile and keep a lower profile on that particular blog. Other than the positive experience of being contacted by this one person, talking about getting myself healthier is nothing but drama and heartache for me. People are routinely dismissive, attacking and ugly.

I continue to have a hard time letting go of the idea that what I know could help other people with dreadful health issues. But the reality is that it is mostly downside for me to give a damn about the welfare of others. It routinely bites me in the butt. It never seems to in any way come back to me in a positive way.

I need to quit being someone who cares and become someone who makes an adequate income. Caring about others has helped keep me destitute. It just makes me a chump.
HN usually prefers the <title> of the webpage, in this case, that's "Stanford CS140e - Operating Systems". However, it's already a link at stanford.edu, so the first half is redundant, but "Operating systems" is a zero-information title, so "An Experimental Course on Operating Systems" was used instead, as it's the sub-title of the page.

I'm not a mod, so I can't say for sure, but I bet that was the thought process.
There is tons of disagreement about this stuff, as it varies so much region to region, but in general, in most English peaking places:

The three meals are "Breakfast", "Lunch" and "Supper". And if Lunch or Supper is the biggest/most formal meal of the day it may be called "Dinner" instead. Hence family "Christmas Dinner" may be at lunch time, but your "Dinner party" is in the evening.
I always wondered about that myself. I've seen people discussing what the best technology is for monitoring remote oil pipelines, should they use cell spectrum and ensure every part of the pipe is covered, cell and ensure each transmitter can connect m2m to relay messages to where coverage is, or some other tech...and no one suggested "Hey...why don't we just run fiber along the pipe?" There may have been a good reason that wasn't obvious to me...or it may have been people legitimately didn't think of it, too enamored by the idea of connectivity in a "remote" location.

Dear god yes. We have no family nearby and even with my wife as a stay at home mom, it's brutal. We're super jealous of her sister who lives with the grandparents and can just leave the kids at home whenever or wake up at 10 or 11 on a weekend because they just go downstairs and hang out with the grandparents when they wake up. Every time we visit my parents we get a taste of that and it's absolutely glorious. We're at the point where we're considering a move and probably a major pay cut just to be within reasonable driving distance of them.
I accidentally left a (mostly) empty application service running on Azure for about 7 months on their Pay-As-You-Go plan. I racked up over $500 in charges that I didn't know about, and I felt robbed. In reality, I'm just kinda dumb.

I'm not asking you to argue for it, I'm asking if you disagree with it.

Having a policy against politics in the workplace is one topic. An employer allegedly trying to enforce that policy by going around standard procedure to make a didactic example of ignoring Nazi colleagues is a separate topic.

Also, "Just how many Nazis are we talking, here?" is a parody of playing devil's advocate.

Agreed.

I'm sure it would take a year or more for good packages for most languages to exist, but, it doesn't seem so complex that it should take a year for it to exist and for it to be usable if you're sufficiently motivated (EG: you're willing to write your own software).

This is true. I wonder if we'll see an OS where each of these modules has some sort of monadic (or maybe something else) API so that you can really decouple the implementation from the API.

This is cool. It is the essence of the current coinmania reduced to the minimum, the MVP of a shitcoin.

It will be interesting to see if they really shell out the money (GAS) to distribute the coins.
The only 'solution' I can see to this problem, is to develop an alternative to the floating monetary unit, of solving the calculation of exchanging goods and labour.

Money is useful, because it solves for the 'n' of a given trade by using all the pricing of transactions as a form of parallel computation, so the fact that it may often give sub-optimal results is outweighed by the fact that it has such a low overhead, compared to the traditional alternatives, such as planned resource based economies, which have historically been plagued by both sub-optimal results and a very high overhead.

The revolutionary work in economics isn't being done on the blockchain, or in any other new currencies for that matter. It is being done in the world of AI and big-data, when applied to logistics.

If you really want to revolutionise money, you have to try and make it obsolete.

edit: Also, seeking sources of funding may be problematic for such an enterprise - "Please can you invest in this plan to destroy capitalism." - being a particularly difficult sell.

Perhaps if it can be reframed as - "Please can you invest in this plan to destroy capitalism that also has excellent quarterly returns." - then it might get somewhere.

Your UK bb reference is from 2007; it's an interesting historical read, although I can't find the information about contention ratio easily. Could you give the page number please? I think that modern use cases require very much more significant bandwidth, and sustaining sufficient bandwidth with QoS for 2018 use cases (and think 2025 for the purposes of sane investment) is quite beyond wifi mesh. 5G will potentially meet these cases outside and with a dense fibre backhaul, internally I think we're talking plasticised fibre.

Not so sure having kids AT ALL is an immoral choice in an overcrowded world. 1 kid, or 2 kids; is replacement level at worst.

I would have a bone to pick with folks who feel entitled (or "commanded by $deity") to have 6, 7, 8 or more kids. That's just absurd stupidity.

I, personally, found parenthood to be enormously rewarding. And that may not be something one comes to grips with when kids are 3. Or 10. Or even 18. Having kids with medical problems, or mental health problems, can be a challenge, and you can miss out on the immediate sense of accomplishment when it's overwhelmed with "just get through today". This is a big-picture thing.

I'm also not blinded by illusions of; having a legacy, having something that is a "permanent" accomplishment, or even just having someone else in this world who I can relate to. My feeling is that my kids turned out to be pretty good people, and the world as a whole is a better place with them in it. In Net. Considering even their resource consumption. They are part me. They are my intention and will. But they are their own beings as well, with their own hopes and dreams.

Hell: we're all worm food in the end. It's not pleasant facing or contemplating death. Maybe we all would have liked to have been asked permission before being brought into this world against our will. I think the main difference it made for me was that I participated in life. The process of life. The continuation of life. The strife for survival. I did not look at the world, and decide to simply persist until I perished. I lived. Even if I have another 30-50 years on this world. I gave it a shot.
Part of the standards of civility for this site is the acknowledgement that life is complicated and undeserving of dismissal. Please approach such topics with thoughtful curiosity and not reductionist finger wagging.

>Except it's not, building costs are relatively fixed per square foot [...]

100% true. I work as a real estate data researcher. Totally agree suburban sprawl is a significant failure, and we're seeing in this thread yet another example of dragging out the old reliable cop-out "market forces" as a way to pretend that bad decisions made were good decisions. Up is down, sun rises in the west, etc.

We absolutely have got to get out from under this pervasive market fundamentalist quackery.
I'm pretty certain data science is worse than normal fields. It's probably due to the fact that huge proportion do have PhDs, but that a PhD is not required for the vast vast vast majority of what we do.

So for instance, I totally feel like a data science imposter, but in the last year have done the following:
- Pushed a custom deep learning NLP model to production
- Created and maintain company's ETL and data warehouse mechanisms
- Performed statistical analyses to find ways to better target and increase customer engagement.
- Implemented event tracking and performance metrics across products
- A sales prediction product that has contributed to $~5M in incremental revenue

Somebody obviously believes in me since I've grown the team from just myself to ~6, but I also know that I've had dozens of past colleagues that would instantly disqualify me since I 1) don't have a PhD and/or 2) can't/don't read statistics/machine learning papers
One thing about software these days is that companies do benefit from open-source and open source projects can control licensing.

Therefore, perhaps there should be a revision to popular open-source licenses that essentially says “not permitted for use in developing X” where X is “a social-network product” or whatever. This forces (law-abiding) companies to spend their own resources in more situations, increasing their costs.
In modern Taiwanese Min Nan, "tê" sounds more like "day" than "tea". Maybe it sounded different in the Min Nan of Fujian a few hundred years ago, or something was "lost in transcription" when the dutch wrote "thee".

>when at Starbucks, people are ordering a coffee, not a starbucks.

Except that is not true, they decieded to get their coffee at Starbucks. The Starbucks product isn't coffee its "coffee distribution", Just like Spotifys product is "music distribution". Both Starbucks and Spotify provide a distribution channel to attract users, now this doesn't mean reasonable quality coffee/music isn't important to them, but thats not the whole story.

So both are just like McDonalds IMHO, not different as you suggested, its just that their value adds are different.

The founder who was given the title as "inventor" in this article is not the inventor. He did not mention the developer who help do the C++ source code and actually invent Dogecoin.

They mean they will only make 500 vehicles of this model.

However, quite often they make a design change, call it a different model, and do another limited production run. McLaren did exactly this with their '675LT' model. The initial production run was 500 cars which proved very popular and sold out the day they were announced. However there was still much demand for the car. So McLaren made a convertible model of the car and named it the '675LT Spider' and did another limited production run of 500 cars.

This behavior is not limited to McLaren. Bugatti is very guilty of this, they've ran at least 4 different 'limited production runs' of their Veyron.
Nope, just an evening hack :)

In Germany, people covered by factual statements in the news have a right (under certain conditions) to demand a "Gegendarstellung" presenting their reply (consisting only of factual statements, not opinions), and that reply has to be in an equally prominent location/size/etc in the same media outlet.

The marginal cost of a new 20Mbit customer when you have 500+ customers is 1 Mbit upstream bandwidth. However, you can't really get just 1 Mbit at those scales so it's closer to 100 extra customers cost 100Mbit.
The choice of 50/60Hz is an engineering trade off. Engines, Turbines and alternators are happiest spinning in 100s to 1000s of revolutions per minute range. At that RPM range, alternators with 2, 4, 6 etc magnetic poles translate to AC line frequencies in the 10's of Hz range. AC power on aircraft is usually at 400Hz because it makes equipment lighter.

It is similar with the choice of 3 phases for electrical power distribution, you can add more phases but it just adds to the cost with little benefit.
My impression is it's always "90 days or whenever it's made public by other means, whatever happens first".

Spotify's product is not the music, it is the product of the musicians! As a musician he should know this fundamental fact very well like alphabet - especially when thinking about his copyright.
When I buy a Sony Walkman from Amazon that is not the product of Amazon - if we want to stick to the stupid analogy stream started by the author at Starbucks.
The Spotify's product is the delivery system and that's it!
Which is very important!
I listen to music for many decades now, I love music and to date Spotify is the best form to carry it out and unleash the experience. Much less bound by physical medium and the unavoidable maintenance cost and effort. It is allowing us to use existing generic infrastructure (computer or other gadgets, internet) and access virtually infinite amount of products. The same is not true for vinyl, CD, not even right managed files which all need to be bought, stored and delivered to the right special gadgets. From a fragmented set of stores in various ways. Need to go and buy manually again, and again - I bought so many music repeatedly just because the media got outdated or lost that it is unfair towards me, the listener. The Spotify form of delivery is something important for listeners, the end clients of the musicians, musicians should be much more respectful what is good for their audience.
Without proper delivery methods their music was lost in the space!

If he is dissatisfied I urge the author to do better!
For all of us!

Africa is huge, complex and diverse. Gross generalizations about “Africa” even when made by Africans are not particularly useful, and mask the local problems that stymie development.

As an example, because of private courier companies, South Africa has a thriving online shopping scene, despite the South African Post Office becoming a shambles in recent years due to mismanagement. Addresses are not a huge problem for the sorts of people who would shop online in SA.

Africa is not a country, it’s a continent.

the main repo doesn't seem to have the string timestop in it. Nor does any of the bips. What BIP was this implemented in?

Seems like a decent idea, although I don't see why miners would be incentivized to set timestop and the paper suggests that timestop is set to 1 whenever the block is full. The blocks are almost always full, so is it just up to the miner to choose if time is stopped or not?

Reading the complaint.. all I can think: why is this in the workplace? Politics is a mess--just generally, no matter which side you're on... It amazes me that anyone would look at our politics and think: let's bring this dispute into our company. It's just asking for trouble.
Payment processors traditionally would convert to USD right away, where the % they charged for the processing included the risk they held for having to hold the coins for the time it took to convert. I know back when there was the "bitcoin boulevard" in Cleveland, this was around 1% which was cheaper than processing credit cards for the businesses and is what got them onboard to accept BTC.
You'll always find a counterexample for 'it never hurts', it's a turn of phrase.
