Up-down, I move my head almost immediately.

My understanding is that glasses have an optimal viewing angle centered around your pupils where your perscription is perfect. As you start looking through different parts of the lens, it gets less perfect. At extreme angles you start seeing the frames themselves and it's annoying.

1) Understanding the legal framework in your country supporting the disclosure of vulnerabilities.

2) Contacting your country’s CERT team or EUCert if you are in the EU.
The UK developed nuclear weapons in 1952, France in 1960

The US, UK and France would collectively be considered “the West” or NATO, just as nuclear weapons inherited by Ukraine when the USSR collapsed would have been considered at the time as collectively part of the USSR.
One complicating factor is that the cartel can't use the traditional monetary system (as I understand it), thus allowing a quick pivot of assets (as they pull their money out from under their mattresses). Hence, if they _do_ decide to enter an industry, then can enter quickly, pay high wages, get a foothold, then undercut the existing market. Much like Google, Apple, and other tech companies with massively large cash piles they sit on.

Getting hit by a car while riding my bicycle home from work. Spent my convalesence hanging out with my surgeon in clinic and the OR. Ended up going to medical school, doing research on prostate cancer, then my dad got prostate cancer while I was in residency, so it became impossible to not do the research. But to do the research, I had to stay in the good graces of the residency, which probably is what got me through residency.

Most of the events that influenced my personal growth seem to have been born from the silver lining of some unforeseeable catastrophe (9/11, Katrina, Rita, a near drowning, Fukushima).

> I assume this is a reaction from some societal pressure for developers to always be building side projects.

It's a distaste for doing "work" outside of work, in general, but also looking like you enjoy it that type of thing. There are definitely times/fads/seasons where having a side project is a type of social asset. I usually call that "looking for a new job" season.

Also, it's sometimes en vogue to do nothing work-related with your free time and show everyone you can afford to do so.

This mentality is why an entire generation of college graduates is completely unemployable. If you’re going to take this approach, fine, but let’s be honest about it and stop telling kids that university exists for any reason other than to let rich people futz around with intellectual naval-gazing, and let’s stop sending kids to college when what they really need is marketable skills.

This isn't one of those "Why don't they just..." type posts where it's obvious why not. It's a serious question, like why can't they do this? I mean presumably there's some answer where they say that they have tested it and the current scheme increases engagement, or something like that

My answer is: The same reason Chrome took away the ability to stop video autoplay. The same reason the Roku apps are crippled so, for example you can't filter search results in the YouTube app or skip Reuters ads in its app or stop Netflix from showing trailers simply by scrolling.

Because the world of media has transitioned from a come-and-find me to one of I'm-coming-at-your-attention. Kind of like TV used to be. Except now we have personalized coming-at-you.

That's why Facebook can't give you settings to fine tune your feed. It would ruin the coming-at-you.

Throughout this thread, I see a lot of solid reasons for a Chinese Expat in SV to give returning to China thoughtful consideration.

Replicating the tools/DevEv within China is certainly possible, but requires effort and is often frustrating.

Show HN: CBlocks – A Mystery Box of Cryptocurrency
So me and some work friends were looking at https://cryptoroulette.info/

We thought, this is ridiculous; someone could buy random crypto's & be net positive right now. Our next thought was, we should find a way to commemorate the craziness that is the current hype in the "crypto space". So we created https://www.cblocks.io

It's an experiment in art/psychology. Are people willing to essentially just buy a USB pre-loaded with random crypto coins? We make it a keepsake because it's going to come in an acrylic case with a nice printed card outlining the coins that were selected for you.

For anyone wondering exactly how it works:

1. We've got a script that will pick 5 random crypto's from the top 300 on coinmarketcap.com.

2. We then generate paper wallets using an offline PC & transfer them to a USB.

3. Next, we delete the wallets from the PC.

4. We buy the coins at market on whatever exchange we find them on.

5.Then send the coins to the public addresses for each of your wallets.

6. Finally, we send you the USB in a nice collectors case with a sheet of paper explaining your cryptos!
The last bit is what got me too---pheromones are pretty simple to understand, really. you drop 2 ants, one walks 30 cm and another walks 10 cm. the one that walked 10 cm will be back sooner, can signal where he went, and others can follow his (fresher) pheromones.

Why is this mysterious?

The company deserves as much loyalty as it will show you. Which in many places is none at all; the world is full of people who demonstrated loyalty to their company and got terminated at zero notice for "downsizing" or bankruptcy.

I believe it can worth being loyal to co-workers and your immediate boss if they deserve it, since they're actual human beings and can be loyal to you, but a company is not a human.

On contango: I would not call what the futures market is experiencing "massive" contango. There is a very slight premium to further dated futures ($35/btc Feb over Jan, and $5 Mar over Feb contracts on CME), but this is very normal for a commodity and logically in place for exchange/spot holding risk. I would call the average settlements over the past month of futures being listed very normal contango. And I don't think the contango itself had anything to do with "reeling in" price. The futures finally being listed perhaps.

"The spot market is so thin" I also think is incorrect. GDAX is normally 0.01 USD wide (albeit for small amounts) and often-times under $1 wide for many BTC. I would call the spot market very thick, if anything. You can get off what appears to be very large amounts of BTC with minimal slippage most times of the day.

"didn't seem to take much open interest in the futs to whip the underlying" -- are you saying a futures move would lead the market? I respectfully disagree. All the entities I know price futs from spot and are generally putting on the arb in this order, not the other way around.

The founders get diluted more than anyone else. They also start with overwhelmingly more than anyone else. Pity the poor founder with their meager twenty percent--an employee at their pennies of equity is vanishingly unlikely, even at a successful company, to make back the opportunity cost of having their salaries gashed by going to a startup.
Yes, I used to run small OTC public company. I've seen the difference in manipulation. Here's weird thing: Goldman and others (with the exception of Bear Stearns and LEH) the big guys get regulatory breaks in law because they can afford to pay off people like Warren Buffet ($5bil to Goldman) - you don't see these guys in jail. This is why the crypto movement is happening.

> Brewer predicts that as more apps for behavioral treatments come to market—and as others surface that aren’t clinical apps but use medical language in their marketing—organizations like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, which provides guidelines for evidence-based treatments and a national registry of programs, could inherit a role in this wild west.

Why does it have to be US-based organisations to fact-check these claims?

I mean, I get that one answer that the appstore (and playstore) is pretty much US-dominated, but it's not like US healthcare is a glowing example to the rest of the world (or the EU, in particular). And perhaps more importantly, neither are the US' restrictions on misleading advertising regarding medical claims.

Since the play/appstore are in fact global (or multinational) things, their corporations multinationals, why not take advantage of the knowledge on other continents?
Nehru was mostly an egomaniac nincompoop but his daughter Indira was the one turned India into socialist hellhole it is now.

Nah. Most Indians that time were ignorant of the world.
From abstract:

"We identify and analyze the impact of suspicious trading activity (STA) on the
Mt. Gox Bitcoin currency exchange between February and November 2013. We discuss
two distinct STA periods in which approximately 600,000 bitcoins (BTC) valued at
$188 million were acquired by agents who did not pay for the bitcoins. During the
second period, the USD-BTC exchange rate rose by an average of $20 at Mt. Gox on
days when suspicious trades took place, compared to a slight decline on days without
suspicious activity. Based on rigorous analysis with extensive robustness checks, we
conclude that the suspicious trading activity caused the unprecedented spike in the
USD-BTC exchange rate in late 2013, when the rate jumped from around $150 to
more than $1,000 in two months."
Wow, you’re really going wild with the burden of proof.

I'll wait till I hear they have a model actually moving to production.

The big oems across the board have been great at convincing people they are looking toward future tech while only releasing new combustion pickup truck and SUV models. They want the excitement for the investors and public that electrification brings but they also want to sell super simple 50 year old V8 motors in body-on-frame trucks, something has to give.

The 2018 auto show is a great example, the big three refreshed all of their pickup models without any news on production or prototype ev's. The "investments" dont mean much if they are minuscule compared to combustion development.

Granted its what people are buying right now but they are not really putting any compelling alternatives out in the market.

It's impossible to tell from this post whether there is a "real" skill gap. It is very easy to look around you in college and think everything is coming easily to everyone else, because you feel the work you're putting into something, but you don't really know or feel how much work other people are putting in. The higher you get into a good engineering program, the fewer of your peers are getting by just on raw talent and not much work. In fact there's a mass exodus every year from engineering programs as freshman who cruised through high school on natural raw talent and not much work encounter their first instance of needing to work in their life, and they can't handle that. The author certainly passed that bar which a lot of others do not, which puts her in the ~50% of those who start an engineering program at all right off the bat.

TLDR summary slide near the end:

- There is an audience for old games
- Out of print games are lost revenue
- Emulation is cheap
- Emulation is accurate
- _Embrace the emulator_

The speaker works as a game developer, worked on the Mega Man Legacy Collection (the 6 NES games, packaged together with a bunch of value-adds).

He posits that it's really easy these days to bundle up a "classic" game ROM with an open-source emulator that is commercial-permissive (DOSBox has been so for years, MAME/MESS became open source in 2016 and covers a large number of arcade and home consoles), and is a missed opportunity for long-tail revenue. If the film industry can do it, why not the games industry? [Nintendo's been doing it successfully with the Virtual Console on Wii U and 3DS, why aren't 3rd-party publishers going all out?]
For example, 10mil shares decided between market makers sitting on both sides of the bid that goes at a price they agree on which is not in the interest of fairness or the public. Another reason for the crypto movement.

I already have a machine that lets me dump a bucket of laundry in the top and have it come out clean/dry/folded.

It's called Washbox, and it's a locker in the atrium of my apartment building. I drop my clothes off, text the locker number to the company, and my clothes will be returned clean the next day. It is, in fact, both super useful and cheap.

I'm sure they would love to automate their washing & folding process further, but those implementation details are already well abstracted from me as the end user. If I were interested in automating laundry, it seems smarter to start by targeting industrial use by existing laundry services who will be willing to pay more per unit and put up with more quirks than a home user would.

It's relatively easy to make from ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, but the over-the-counter decongestant pills containing those precursors have had their availability drastically curtailed in the US over the past 20 years. I think that Breaking Bad showed how much hard work it was to have a bunch of straw-purchasers buy pills up to each person's legal limit, so you could gather enough of them to make wholesale quantities of the drug.

Cartels can run large labs supplied with drums of industrial chemicals instead of taking the "easy" but difficult-to-scale route that starts with OTC pills. And if they used to be able to turn a profit on smuggling product with a mass-to-value ratio as low as cannabis, they should surely be able to manage the same with methamphetamine.
I would be skeptical of strong claims about how Bitcoin futures have affected its price significantly so quickly, mainly because their volume is very low when compared to Bitcoin exchanges and even other unregulated futures (such as Bitmex's future contracts, which have been around for much longer than CME and others have).

It makes sense the price has stabilized recently due to how strong the recent bull market was, it will likely need some time to relax and consolidate before it decides what direction to push next.
