I am notoriously absentminded. I would constantly forget my lunch, leave the lights on, whatever. Since writing down checklists for my morning and evening routines, I don’t miss anything. The fact is that we’re human beings. As the book “Getting Things Done” says, your mind is for having ideas, not for holding them.
Both are close, but not what I'm looking for. I want...a browser extension...that recognizes (via code on that page) a site/page that's registered within the network...the extension icon turns green to let me know...I click the icon...the dropdown shows me my current number of credits...and let's me donate to the current site...

The site doesn't pay anything to be in the network (sans maybe a low sign up fee to mitigate spam). The members pay, tho' I'd have to think about that model.

What I want is semi similar to an old school PayPal button but more micropay friendly (low cost) and is more (social) network-centric.

No can do?

p.s. FWIW this is something I imagine say GitHub doing for starters and then branching out from there.
It's hard to understand his criticism of g+ as his post of quite a ramble. If g+ had APIs it would have been successful how? He makes several conjectures but either doesn't provide an argument or just a passing one.

Also being a developer, he is qualified to comment on the business directions of some of the large companies in the world because ...

Even in all my hubris, I would feel compelled to add several "just my opinion" caveats.

Does anyone have a link to the google lunch lady's blog? I heard she has some great tax advice that a lot of CFOs should hear.
If nobody knows than why do you assume the cost _likely_ staggering?
"But only slightly less well known is this: Never take $66 million from a VC when $15 million will do!"

Just kidding and congrats! I would take every cent, you never know what kind of funding your competitors might receive. Just try to remain focused and remember to never go full Duplan.
If it makes you feel any better (it won't), this kind of thing has been possible for years.

The only difference is that now instead of using photoshop to make fake images, we can automate the process, and use it to make video. This isn't a paradigm shift, it's a change in pace.
I mean, sure, there are work-arounds I guess. Still weird to rely on work-arounds like this. Also, there are at least 4 different workarounds to this, so imagine working on a large code base where everyone has their preferred approach is...fun. Or it would have been fun in '98 or so, nowadays, for a brand new language - it's just sad.
I started Vitamin D supplements too, after reading several personal accounts of it being helpful. Still have not come across any good studies proving the effectiveness of taking Vitamin D supplements (TBH I also haven't tried finding any such information either).
That's mostly from John Carpenter's The Thing, the blood reacted to heat as our protagonist's test for detecting infected hosts, not causing the host that was tied up to react, that was just the thing transmogrifying. There's also a Pournelle novel where a research team lands on a green, human inhabitable planet and a native species looks something like a monitor lizard but can engage a hyper mode that speeds up it's metabolism so it generates a lot of heat, this is to enable it to run like a cheetah with the strength of a gorilla or something like that IIRC.
> The question is, where IS the innovation? Which big companies are doing an impressive job of innovating?

Everywhere, the problem is only the good innovations are seen as innovations, the rest are just changes. Windows Vista for example was incredibly innovative, we just didn't like the results. Personally I'd prefer less innovation and more focus put on refinement and efficiency.

Most of the "Netflix Original" content is translated, but no there's no real way to search for language friendly content.
Did you miss the part where a million people use ActivityPub via Mastodon? There are already numerous implementations, such as Mastodon, Hubzilla, Pleroma, PeerTube, Kroeg, and more.
And it has a social feature, "blurblogs" on which you share articles. It's quite great, just signed up :)

And it's open source!

Thanks for the tip frumiousirc!
These programs need to scale, and you need money to facilitate them. I don't think there are very many huge industries where a large number of workers can flock to and be competent enough in to make money, especially if they lack transferrable skills.

The companies dabbling in automation are doing it to cut costs. They—at a minimum—need to recover their R&D spend. The utopian view that automation instantly makes everything cheaper doesn't stand up when you consider the fact that our global productivity keeps rising while wages remain stagnant - it's easy to see where all that saved money goes.

I agree with you fully, but it's going to take some radical government policy to raise enough money to fund these sorts of programs. It's very unfortunate.
The HN title should probably say "nonwesternized" (the term used in the abstract) rather than "non-Western" (although the paper subtitle does use "Western"). Still an ambiguous term, but "non-Western population" would usually be understood to include countries like Japan and China, who this study definitely doesn't mean to include.
I noticed that on myself, high concentrations of sugar or high density carbs (pasta and bread) make it surge.

A couple of friends of mine also cured a candida infection by avoiding carbs. So our diet might play a role.

My 90s PC ran Linux, which had the exact same sandboxing that iOS has, with a slightly different API. If you run each application with a different uid, you get the same result.
Was that peer-reviewed?
It's easier to take or give a responsibility to a team when those responsibilities are small.

If you have a team in charge of a monolith you are screwed. You can't afford to fire them, even if they deserve it.
I think for nuclear the average draw probably is at least equally relevant. Reducing output costs money, so it isn't really going to follow the load down.
Hyperinsulinemia caused by a high-carb diet seems to result in many of our health issues:

And you believe no one at Google is being allowed to work on disruptive innovation, not even 0.1% of employees?

The point is, Apple, Google, FB, Amazon, Microsoft, et al are all trying to find the next big disruptive thing. They all invest billions in R&D, but they also have to run their main cash cow businesses.

In every company, there's going to be politics, risk aversion, and symbiotic copying with competitors. This is no different at Google, Amazon, or Apple. And for the rank and file employees who aren't working in R&D or on super-secret disruptions, things will seem fairly pedestrian.

Yegge's claim that Google is 100% focused on competitors is a vast exaggeration.
You'd expect them to be open and honest to the officials who are managing and reviewing them, but opaque and occasionally intentionally misleading to the wider general public.

I think this is going to be the real answer for how we can best handle changes like this. So what if people can see a highly accurate computer simulation of you naked, we do the same things in our heads half the time anyways. Aside from the taboo, is there anything really fundamentally wrong with nudity?
Microsoft seem to be doing a lot of different things.
No one knows
Thank you everyone for the great feedback. Please feel free to share any helpful links that explain blockchain, cryptocurrencies, ICOs etc. and I will post on the 101 resource page. I am very new to this and only a curious observer of the cryptocurrency wave
I read posts like that and marvel at how much people can understand. Well done and thanks for posting.
I hope they have the killer app, everything I've seen so far is interesting but not that compelling but that's just my opinion.
The traditional Chinese diet is mostly rice and vegetables. Modernization brings a large increase of refined sugars and animal fats.
This is the same man, Chris Granger, that did a Kickstarter for Light Table, a so-called "next generation IDE," with promotional materials touting as new and revolutionary features that had been standard in IntelliJ, Visual Studio, and even Eclipse for years:

http://chrononsystems.com/blog/light-table-concept-vs-realit...

Light Table was also ultimately abandoned before completion.

Perhaps Granger should rein in his ambitions somewhat, or at least try to delegate more (assuming there are enough people to whom he can delegate)?
The short term, million dollar question seems to be:

What % of the situations requiring human intervention can the semi-autonomous system correctly identify (and timely alert) the otherwise passive driver to get involved?
Great, what is the national road-map for our transition to these net-beneficial clean technologies? If they are net-beneficial, why haven't we transitioned to them yet? What factors blocking this transition will be removed in the years to come, and how exactly are we going to remove them? What decade we going to hit net zero carbon?

It's like a startup saying: "Well, sure, we are losing money hand over fist, and our per-unit economics don't make sense, but you're assuming that we won't discover... Something... that will make us profitable."
This title "Acne vulgaris is virtually nonexistent in non-Western populations" is not supported by the article.

The Rust book clearly states:

"It’s important to understand that unsafe doesn’t turn off the borrow checker or disable any other of Rust’s safety checks" [1]

"unsafe" unlocks only 4 things: Dereferencing a raw pointer, Calling an unsafe function or method, Accessing or modifying a mutable static variable, Implementing an unsafe trait.

>Maybe so, but I would argue a lot of the key information isn't that different for each type of medical event.

Well, I mean, that's pretty much the entire basis of the HL7 segment paradigm.

>- Patient it relates to

This is a much, much, much harder problem than you'd think.

Patients are going to have multiple identifiers attached to them and resolving them cleanly is literally an industry of its own within healthcare.

And that's precisely why it's a common problem during integrations - which identifier gets used how is generally a workflow and design decision made for a specific site-level implementation.

>- Date it happened (possibly date it started and date it ended instead)

>- Who did/prescribed/ordered it

These usually aren't sticking points for integration because they're the easy ones to get people to agree on.

>- List of medical codes+coding system tuples that happened on that event

These aren't really standardized at the industry level beyond ICD-10 diagnosis codes. Things like insurance provider codes, procedure codes, order codes, etc are individual to sites; even things like ethnicity and gender codes are variable by location.

I don't want it to sound like I'm down on FHIR or that I think HL7v2 is the greatest thing since sliced bread because I don't think either is the case.

The point I'm getting at is that there are huge problems with healthcare data interchange that just plain aren't going to be solved by a better interchange format.
I guess we're just taking for granted that Google does something incredible on a weekly basis, to such a degree that we don't even notice any more. Here's some things that are basically magic that Google has quietly (or loudly, sometimes) launched:

Automatic real-time text translation from videos, on your phone. You point your phone at a sign in Thailand and it changes the words to English.

Computer vision systems that index the themes of your photographs. You can search your Google photos for "dog" and it finds all the photos with dogs.

A computer that beats all living humans at board games.

Cars that drive themselves. Not the ones that kill their drivers, like Tesla's, or that can't see stop lights, like Uber's, or that run into people all the time, like GM's. Actual self-driving cars that will pick your ass up and take you to Taco Bell.

An airborne internet service that can be deployed anywhere in the world on short notice.

And, under all of that, a service platform that remains fast, reliable, and economical to operate even after two decades of exponential user growth, which provides free services such as searching all documents ever written, delivering the majority of the world's email, etc, all free of charge.
> One aspect of this will be does our indulgence of our own negative fantasies weaken our capability to act rightly when presented with a real world moral choice and does that make us culpable...or more culpable if we make a wrong choice.

It'll be really interesting to see more data come out about this. This concept is pretty much at the core of the video game violence debate which is still somewhat ongoing.
Isn't congress the set of people who are literally given the right (and responsibility) to define, by passing laws, what is ok and what's not? If they consider that it's ok, then it's ok; that's how the democratically elected representatives have decided.
There is a school of thought that the worst thing to consume in case of a cold is dairy.
Apart from this, it's also strange that:

1) It's not a part of core enterprise GSuite / GCP offerings.

2) It's announced on Medium, and not on usual Alphabet channels.

Mercedes-Benz Releases a Connected Vehicles API
I mean, there's presumably a very short window for that before photo evidence becomes unconvincing to people. The first time a Senator gets "exposed" for some misdeed but proves the evidence is fake, "there's a photo of this" loses its punch. The surrealism of seeing a fake recreation of oneself might have some impact, but we handled ultra-realistic paintings alright.

It does touch on an interesting point, though: we've had roughly 100 years in which photo and audio recreations of events constitute "hard evidence" beyond our ability to fully falsify. It appears that within the next ~20 years we'll lose that reliability - footage of a politician making a dirty deal or a businessman engaging in conspiracy will become deniable not just as a misleading edit, but as outright fabrication.

What do we do at that point? Do smartphone videos get automatically hashed and uploaded to a blockchain somewhere, so that we can prove when the video came into being? Do we return to an 1850s sense of news, where claims effectively cease to be falsifiable except via personal experience? Are we ready for any of this?
As a researcher, this is kind of what scares me about becoming a professional SE. In research, every time I start a new project, there are lots of unknowns and challenges. Hopefully the real world isn't so dull!
It doesn't have to be a package deal -- their low glycemic load diet isn't causing the abscesses.
The example is illustrative enough: all the array needs to be misaligned in practice is a small value on the stack near it, e.g. if the Rust code has `let x: u8 = 1;` inserted after the array (or, I imagine, `uint8_t x = 1;` in the C, etc.), then the array's address is odd.
Being in your prime refers to mental and physical fitness, not happiness. It's easily measured by digging holes or studying books.

The context of this thread is fitness - 50 year olds are definitely less fit than their younger selves. It's part of the human condition.
I was wondering about that; I was just in China and there were tons of people with acne there.

In about a billion years the sun will exhaust enough nuclear fuel to cool and expand, boiling the oceans, blowing off our atmosphere, and turning Earth back into a sterile rock.

i recently went on a little exploratory mission to see what the working explanation is for how the pores actually get blocked, and then swell. it sounds like the process, in super detail, is not well understood. from what i could gather, sebaceous glands get blocked, and the sebum they secrete starts to pool in the duct around the follicle, under the skin. the sebum creates an ideal environment for a bacteria called p acnes to flourish, which causes inflammation and redness. it seems that the rate of sebum production, and the composition of the sebum itself might have some effect on how likely the pore is to clog. and, of course, skin cleanliness is but one of many factors that seem to affect how often people get acne. as other people have noted, it sounds like "inflammation", a topic i know nothing about, seems to be at the root- basic idea seems to be that diet can cause inflammation which can then result in acne. im more curious about the actual point at which the pore becomes blocked, and why it happens, from a more mechanical way. i feel like a satisfactory answer to this question would address why some pores on someones face get clogged and others do not. im curious if anyone ever did a very detailed microscopic timelapse somehow. since i havent studied this field at all, its likely im not really asking the right questions, but if anyone reading this has anything interesting about this topic, id love to hear it.
Google has been doing some interesting stuff already, like representing models of the hydrogen H2 molecule:

> While the energies of molecular hydrogen can be computed classically (albeit inefficiently), as one scales up quantum hardware it becomes possible to simulate even larger chemical systems, including classically intractable ones. For instance, with only about a hundred reliable quantum bits one could model the process by which bacteria produce fertilizer at room temperature. Elucidating this mechanism is a famous open problem in chemistry because the way humans produce fertilizer is extremely inefficient and consumes 1-2% of the world's energy annually. Such calculations could also assist with breakthroughs in fundamental science, for instance, in the understanding of high temperature superconductivity.

You can make causal statements about data from natural experiments with instrumental variables. This technique has been used by economists since 1928.

From the Wikipedia definition (the definition in common use) of left politics: "Left-wing politics supports social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality." If you want to redefine Left-wing politics to be Marxism, do that first before claiming that they are already equivalent.

Here's the discussion and the paper on vitamin D: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15867918 . TL;DR: make sure to always get at least 8000 IU of vitamin D per day (10 times the RDA) if you want to be healthy and have good bones, skin, mood, sleep, immunity and metabolism.

I have also heard a rumor that recent studies suggest solid vitamin D pills are better than oil capsules. Would be nice if somebody knowing what particular study says this could share a link.

Grandparent didn't imply it was a triumph of foresight, but rather a failure of foresight.

I think that's what he's saying - a general point that people's understanding of climate (and thus predictions about it) are poorer than commonly believed.
I thought that 'real-time' is not about how fast a program is. Instead, it's about being able to guarantee that a program will always complete in under a fixed amount of time, under all circumstances.

I can't see how that applies to Zstandard either.
Why's everybody talking about vitamin D? (Same thing popped up in a Twitter thread I saw about this yesterday.)

As far as I can tell the paper only talks about high insulin loads and refined sugars for etiology? Then again I might have missed something? Seriously, I'm in no way competent to read these papers but all I could see were mentions of insulin spikes and such. Could someone ELI5 what I'm missing?
Try cutting out dairy. That made a dramatic effect for the better in me. Milk chocolate is probably the worst for me.

Only tangentially related, but recently I watched a documentary about the epidemic spread of myopia. Apparently the main culprit was the lack of time spent outside, which was interpreted as a lack of exposure to sunlight.

I wonder if acne can't have the same cause.

While reading BOTNS I had a synaesthesic experience where reading the words felt like I was eating meat, rich roast cooked til it was falling off the bone.

1. When I was a kid, just getting a tan cleared up my acne.

2. Changing my diet helped clean up my acne (not eating junk food)

3. When I was a teenager, I got hurt really bad, and my father found me and had to take me to the hospital. I saw massive acne breakout on his face in less than 15 minutes.

4. When I got older and was less stressed about life, my acne went away. When I got a family/career/house and life stress was severe, acne would come back.

I think there a huge health and stress connection to acne.
That's not really true. Maybe fifty years when cameras were of a sufficient quality that touchups would be noticed compared to a photorealistic painting.
