I've seen a lot of people swear by a mixture of 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar + 1 tbsp. honey mixed in a glass of hot water, drink before going to bed.

ASMR videos often help me calm down and fall asleep. Many different kinds out there, from soft whispers with positive reinforcement to simple stuff like rain. Just make sure to listen to the audio only, the blue light of most tablet/smartphone screens are really bad for trying to sleep (just like most monitors) because it's a light frequency that keeps the brain awake.

A good workout, like running, can lift the spirits and if you power your body out it often helps to calm down and fall asleep easier. Once you get into regular running it's also a great way to "declutter" your brain from whatever thoughts you might have collected during the day.

You could also try Indica Cannabis, which is usually a good sedative. Tho it can make depressions worse due to the sedative effect, so try with some caution.
I'm not a lawyer, but I'd say if you make a good faith effort to prevent that eventuality, it would probably at least mitigate liability. That's a great question, though.
>scientifically prove

That's not how the scientific method works.
The article reads like philosophical/spiritual bullshit written to overcomplicate a single idea, which I am still not sure what is.
Once you learn one front-end framework, you're halfway there to learning any of them.

There's a lot of shared ideas and concepts among the most popular choices. So it's much faster for, say, an Angular Dev to get productive with Vue.js than it would with a vanilla JS developer doing the same thing.

Ruby has one of the better communities among programming languages - disproportionate to its popularity. I wish more languages had that quality of discourse.
Except, thanks to modern speculative execution, skylake and later also speculates through retpoline.

So you still need some solution there.
What would you define as "scientifically proven"? In general, an observation that is observable, repeatable, and predictive is considered the criteria there. Take for instance genetics. The entire field is, with a few exceptions, built on nothing but correlations. And social science is 100% built on correlations.

If a geneticist were to state that some gene or another were linked to the unibrow [1] would you consider this scientifically dubious? After all, in that case all they did was look at people who have unibrows and look to find characteristics that were more common to this group than others. What if that genetic indicator did show up disproportionately among all people with unibrows and was relatively less common among those without a unibrow?

Yeah, the author didn't quite connect the dots, but the general point was there.

'Craft Brewery economics' are really interesting. The margin on beer sold out of the brewery taproom is insane, 400-600%, largely because they are selling the beer at 'normal' bar prices but don't have to split the profits with middlemen or worry about transportation costs as the beer is made on site. However, if they go through the normal distribution channels in order to sell at grocery stores and other bars, apparently the margins are much closer to 5%-10%. According to some of the industry publications, there has been a bit of a retrenchment going on as a bunch of breweries overextend themselves to try and grab market share through distribution and got stuck selling low margin beer in a really competitive market.
I'd love to get my hands on that article/link, do you have it handy?

I can't say for certain, because I wasn't involved in the decision. ;) My gut reaction is that it only ends up being seen as OK because the group being penalized has historically been at an advantage in most other areas financially. I am aware that some European countries are moving to do away with charging by gender.
> Unless you can scientifically prove that ethnicity causes crime to happen, its disgusting.

If someone was to prove such a fact (say, a gene prevalent in some ethnicity that causes propensity for fraud) would you support decision making based on the ethnicity? How about based on the presence of the gene?

Rails, and possibly 37signals, was very influential to many folks about a decade ago, especially in the startup community, where Rails was seen as especially useful for prototyping or rapid, test-driven web app development. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-so-many-startups-use-Ruby-on-Ra...

It’s popularity at this may have diminished with the rise of JavaScript, Go and alternatives but many folks still like and use Ruby, or at least would like to see it continue to improve and thrive.
You may have to wait 7 hours to confirm that.

MJ is an interesting product in that its not a carcinogen like tobacco. Its classification as a Schedule 1 drug has been entirely because of some racist elements of the US government making it illegal in the US.

Anyways, the point is that it can be used in various forms. I see a bright future in the edibles industry. I find it hard to believe that any of the traditional confectionery companies (which are pretty conservative) will ever embrace edibles since their market is traditionally kids.

> The next big thing to tackle is telemarketer phone spam.

Even tried to use a new number, worked for a year or two and it got leaked to some telemarketer.

With the effort involved to change my number again. I decided to try a new tactic; waste their time.

They call me, I identify it is spam(eg first name instead of real name) and ask them to hold and then go silent/ghost until they hang-up.

I feel guilty to hear "sir, sir, voice of despair sir... beep beep beep" because I worked in a call center and understand these guys just want to make a living. I tried to be nice and asked my number to be removed, no luck.

I engage and then waste their time and now suddenly I stop to get telemarketer calls?! On a side-note I feel like I started to receive more SMS spam. So I'm now at the point of wanting to opt-in so that they can call me to waste their time. _sigh_

Bitcoin’s tech-savvy early adopters phase was years ago. Users like that are probably the majority now.
Not really. Most people are not computing primes on their phones, they are surfing Facebook and Instagram. Since it’s a pointless activity there isn’t the concept of “completing a task” — they will just think “I Facebooked for three hours instead of 2” instead of “I got to see 500 photos in 2 hours rather than 400 photos in 3 hours.”

What's wrong with the Firefox on Android? Recent version is minimalistic in terms of design, while works the same way as desktop FF in terms of UX. I've never had any issues, plus "Firefox Sync", "Send Tab to Device..." and Pocket Reader integration—are really great features.

As for desktop version, multiselect/moving tabs is convenient on Chrome, but vertical tabs/bookmarks/history/synced devices available in Firefox is much, much better.
Likewise, there probably isn't such a thing as a 10X developer, but I totally believe 10X managers exist (they provide cover, they have empathy, they are able to lead people who otherwise aren't very manageable). I've only met very few of them in my career, most managers are 1X or even negative.
Got me there. First time I've ever in my life heard of a legitimate example where you really do need dynamic methods.

It's a free world. If you don't like their offerings you can take you business somewhere else. Or you can find a BYOB restaurant and have your choice and also pay less.
I'm pretty sure it's not that it speculates through retpoline, IIRC retpoline is coded with trickery to avoid that, but it only replaces indirect branches. It's that it speculates through normal `ret` instructions in functions, in a way that can be exploited.
What's very odd is that it's a copy of the first sentence of this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16218608
N.B.: the "switch to Windows" is from macOS and not from Linux, just in case anyone was wondering. I think it's very interesting that the availability of Linux on Windows helped the author choose Windows.

I still have trouble getting the US mentality.

I frequently mock the CNIL because of its overbearing decisions but AFAIK this kind of organism would prevent this kind of use of your personal data.
From a different perspective, having worked on numerous Ruby projects for years across the private (startups to Fortune 500), nonprofit, and government sectors, spanning many locations with worldwide team members, I don’t see where Ruby/Rails isn't at this point—it’s seemingly all-pervasive.

Similar to general hiring/salary surveys, I’m not sure that the referenced index is accurate.
Glad to help! :) Yeah, I only realised it wasn't "normal" to be able to control it when I saw one of those "do you know...?" posts about it.
Since all these CPUs are turning out to be so inherently insecure, maybe we should work harder to run only trusted/verified code.

The reason is often because what you think is the speed of the traffic is actually the speed of the asshole in front of you that's going much slower than he could on a congested route.

It doesn't take a single car to reduce the speed of a lane. It takes exactly two. One to slow it down, and the other one to stop the others from letting the guy in the front know that he is going too slow.
You should watch Gattaca.
Both of those are already happening in health insurance. Not a "gene" that causes "crime", but you're higher risk under certain conditions depending on genes and ethnicity.

Is it fair? No. Will legislation be put in place to fix it? No. The only thing that levels the playing field is .. Nevermind, let's not get into politics.

Thanks! I think that and the inner-linked post tell us what we need to know.

From Terry's post:

> For context, on newer CPUs such as on Skylake and beyond, Intel has refined the instructions used to disable branch speculation to be more specific to indirect branches, reducing the overall performance penalty of the Spectre mitigation.

And your link:

> /d2guardspecload, that is currently equivalent to /Qspectre.

It seems equivalent to reptoline, at least from a high level perspective.

So MSVC is probably protected, but only optionally. They're leaving it up to developers to use the /Qspectre flag, it isn't something automatically enabled when you use an /O(x) optimise flag.

Edit: I should add that /Qspectre is currently being added to a lot of Windows, but they're assessing where before doing so, because not everywhere should need it.
It's not that tumblers are just "used for" money laundering, it's that they are money laundering, definitionally.

All the terrible privacy implications of using Bitcoin that you've described are true. The conclusion "so therefore it's okay if I launder money" does not follow. You could instead not use Bitcoin.

> we need to be careful of how we might apply superficial correlations like these

Well, for one, correlation != causation. Period.
Considering that there's little time left, your payload (and business model) has severe constraints. Unless you have something pre-developed and nearly ready to launch (e.g. at a university), aim for something simple. That leaves you mostly with media attention (sponsors), technology demos (e.g. for third parties), paraphernalia/vanity items that wealthy individuals or communities pay for (no remains or religious artifacts please). But please be inventive.

$980k (€800k) [1] for the first kg to the lunar surface, for lunar orbit it's less (ask me in private, it's not published). Expect $50k-500k to develop the payload (depends on what it is and who builds it). There are several open source CubeSat designs and kits that give you an idea.

So whether you have a simple payload/business model or a more sophisticated one (more suitable for a later launch probably), contact me better sooner rather than later. Many details need to be cleared early on.

It looks like Ingo Molnar, Andi Kleen, and others are coming up with a pure-software alternative to IBRS, which could be much faster (rather similar in spirit to the retpoline trick)
Can you source? Specifically the "eventual psychosis" part?
If insurance were a way to minimize risk by distributing it, differential pricing would be applied only for factors you can influence, to the degree that you can influence them. E.g. if you are a smoker, health insurance would be more expensive, but if you are willing to go into therapy, the insurance would pay for it to save on cancer treatments down the line.

Of course insurance companies are first and foremost trying to maximize their profits by charging everyone just slightly more than their expected payouts [1]. That also means that their profits go up when they get better at modeling someone's risk profile and then charge them more. The whole business model of insurance depends on treating people differently, even if they are different due to no fault of their own.

[1] corollary: if you have enough money, you shouldn't buy insurance (expected loss), but insurance companies (expected profit)

Unite means to join together. You could say you united two pieces of Lego when you snap them together, or when people join in a group it can be called uniting them. The USA is the United States of America because the different states joined together into one nation.

But that is the nasty part. The taxes were paid up front while the credit will be applied over years. Odds are they had to liquidate something else, borrow money, etc so it's not just the lost equity but the opportunity cost.

There's always the "they knew they could lose it!" line but if the leadership was lying internally and externally, I hope they get sued into oblivion.

I think others have clearly communicated who they think is the troll by flagging.
The worst thing about Facebook is that it makes it difficult to discover new people, or at least users either don't trust the site, or the friend relationship is so binary and exclusive that it doesn't make people be more open.

You can't even organize public meetups based on interest and let people do things. It only starts with the friend relationship, but there is nothing that encourages people interacting with each other online before becoming friends.

I think zuck is advocating for people to be more honest, but the site is clearly not designed for discovery. Tinder works great for that.

If you're doing stuff with OpenAPI (as I've been doing over the last few weeks), it becomes a pressing thing. =( Generated clients usually are pretty awful, you usually have to generate your own (because they don't publish gems when their APIs change, which is why I've written online-generated ones!), and once you've completed the bootstrap process for an HTTP client, it's as fast as any other Ruby thing. Which is not the fastest out there by a long shot--though JRuby helps--but is Fast Enough for most stuff.

I'm also not sure Crystal can implement an active record pattern off of a database? (Though I am not personally the type to go with that, I prefer row mappers.)
So, the main reason he switched to a Windows machine was to use the latest/fastest hardware with Adobe Lightroom and Premiere, but then he goes on to say the Lightroom and Premiere don’t take advantage of many core CPUs, the fastest GPUs, fastest SSDs, etc...

And Windows is fine after tweaking and adjusting dozens of settings.

I’ll just stick with a Mac.
Well, that's fine, but insurance companies are only interested in correlation. It's rather obvious that Hotmail addresses don't cause car accidents.

I hope you're not trying to explain the value and satisfaction of customization to an Emacs enthusiast!

The thing is an interpreter for Elisp, which the text editor is written and configured in. You can change the core functionality of the editor if you wanted, by writing some code in a buffer and pressing C-M-x. You can make it act exactly like vim if you wanted to. You can add line numbers on the side, better autocomplete for commands and searches, a git porcelain, new modes for different types of files. You can implement an IRC client, a browser, tetris, a file browser, or an email client; or you can just use the implementations that come included.

You can spend a lifetime configuring Emacs, and if you have attained the ultimate configuration, you'll look back at the end of your life and realize that it was worth the thousands of hours you put into it. But if you have not, don't worry: you'll be reborn into the cycle constant suffering-due-to-inferior-configuration until you figure it out.
Ah, I see. Yes, I don't imagine that Amazon would do anything unless they saw a return on investment either. I do think that situations like that do affect their bottom line though, at least in terms of employee morale when it happens in their neighborhoods. I have heard that Amazon tends to churn through their employees, but they are getting big enough where I don't know if they can keep doing that and keep the quality they want

I agree. On my relatively high speed internet connection on Chrome 63 (latest) running on a recent laptop, it took 55 seconds, 426 requests, and 2.6MB to load the first graph on the page.
