I'd hardly consider taking days off from work only to sit at home in pain to be "rest". I'm lucky enough that I can afford to take days off to rest when in pain post-surgery, but I'd still want something to help with the pain.

What's Changing: Wilderness Rejuvenation II

In our Wilderness Rejuvenation retrospect news post, we discussed how our releases for early 2018 would be shaped by your feedback. A lot of feedback was centered on the mismatch between content and graphics with the Wilderness Rejuvenation release, and so we're happy to announce that next week you’ll see the following changes in-game:

The drops within the Revenant Cave have been adjusted to better align with the polled GP rates.The Mage Arena 2 boss mechanics have been altered slightly to make it feel more challenging.We have completely recreated the Mage Arena 2 boss graphics with new assets.The Twisted bow will no longer be viable against the bosses.We have expanded on the story of Mage Arena 2. It will now more closely follow typical lore.Whilst all of the necessary detail will be included in the weekly update news post, we wanted to make sure you were aware well in advance of what was happening, especially with the Revenant Caves.

Before moving on to the main topic of discussion, here's a quick update on the fantastic progress the graphics team are making with the newly designed Mage Arena II Bosses!
lol if anything teenagers can afford rent anywhere because they have no kids, no spouses and are quite happy eating cheap microwaveable food.

They also are the least likely age group to demand lots of cleanliness and personal space, which drive up rents in most places.

You can't opt-out completely. Some people (including probably most HN readers) can purchase highly-regulated private insurance instead but even that isn't possible for the vast majority of the population.
They belong to the category of synchronous programming languages. The terms synchronous dataflow, dataflow, and synchronous reactive are also variously used. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_programming_langua... . This paradigm has also been used in a embedded and real time software. The recently deceased Eve programming language combined the synchronous and relational paradigms. I think it's a neglected approach to concurrency, and I was sad to see Eve run out of money because it seemed like the first time a synchronous programming language for software and "for the masses" was being developed. If you want a detailed systematic account of programming paradigms, (without detailed study of what applications they are good and bad for I'm afraid) I would highly recommend Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming by Roy and Haridi (this book leans towards dataflow oriented paradigms, explaining a few other paradigms using the idea).
Thanks! It’s remarkably reassuring to hear from someone else who remembers it. And thanks for the extra detail.
Two scary things about this:

- When you can't trust those who have access to it (including those who have access to it in the future.) IMO this means everybody who learned anything from history should be scared.

- When it becomes almost 100% reliable and some unlucky person gets convicted because of a glitch but no-one cares because they trust the system.
I thought you could do this in California by apprenticing with a lawyer. No idea if this is still the case, but I vaguely remember reading about this a while back.

There is certainly a difference between 'just' a flu and something worse (sinus infection, and so on).

The body notices when there is something more to it than just a flu.

That's the point were you get yourself a nice appointment at your 'Hausarzt' (family doctor, sounds wrong tbh) and let yourself check thoroughly. If somethings wrong, you'll get your medicine. If not, well just get yourself some rest. Our social systems and working rights give you the freedom to be ill for a long time and not needing to worry about losing your job.

Maybe in the US you are so used to getting your painkillers and hardcore medicine for a simple flu (, and so on) that you cannot withstand some pain.

Most dentists don't prescribe you painkillers or even antibiotics after a wisdom tooth removal, even if it was a operation and not just pulling it out. Yes it hurts as hell, but just stay at home for 3-5 days, get some rest and live happily ever after.
That's a good point. Maybe it's the combination of both. The access to information that was not before reachable to teenagers. What I've noticed for myself once online access becomes more and more universal, more information is also available, and this means that also information about what is _really_ happening in the world becomes available, not just curated "everything is ok" information.

Information about wars being waged, global poverty, the US raging wars, nuclear holocaust fears, and the feedback loops that the effect of anybody becoming a journalist these days creates. Also the combination of internet trolls, systematic brainwashing and censorship, makes it even harder to understand what is real and what is not.

But it might be the phones, I see more and more kids, like aged 10 - 15, walking in the playgrounds, streets, sitting down with phones in their hands, staring at some game or video that is providing them with constant small feedback. It used to be that if you were outside, you at least were walking and concentrating on just that, or you were sitting down with your friends at the playground, now everybody seems to have a phone or they are looking at somebody elses phone.

It's a complex issue for sure. But I wouldn't blame the kids either, as they learn these habits from their parents, who to be honest most are just getting used to the internet phenomena and global information access, it's not that much of an old thing, although us working in the technical field who have had access since maybe childhood to BBSs etc might think so.
Without knowing your situation, plenty folks take (liberal amounts of) painkillers to numb the pain and thus never find out or work on the real cause of the pain.

Warmth and daily stretching, massage and exercise fixes most sore tight spots that, if left untreated, can escalate to chronic pain setting you up for an unending painkiller loop eventually making you a walking stiff.

Almost my whole body was a painful solid wreck until I started to work on it more or less every day. My lower back still has some tight achy spots but it's getting there. These days I can actually flex some muscles I had no idea I had or could control.
Are you sure life isn't a game, then?
Everybody is insured. If you can't work, you are insured. If you are ill and not employed, you are insured. If you are a baby just born, you are insured. If you are a student, you are insured - either through your family or on your own. If you receive social security payments, you are insured. Basically everybody, 99.9% of the population is insured.

If you are employed you pay to the health care insurance or sickness fund directly. Your employer also pays. The money is not collected by the tax authorities and is not administrated by them. Still it is public regulated system.

If you are privately insured, you pay directly to the private insurance company. This may provide additional services or a better quality.

OTOH if you are not member of a private insurance, then you still can get additional insurances from those. For example you can insure yourself privately for certain health care services if you travel to foreign countries.

In Germany we would only consider something to be a tax, if we pay somehow to the tax administration. For example if one is a member of the catholic church - which is voluntary - then one will pay 'Kirchensteuer' - 'church tax'. This tax is collected with ones usual tax payments, by the tax authorities - for the catholic church. If you are not a member of a church, like the catholic church (or some others), one does not pay this tax. If you are a member of a free church, then the tax authorities don't collect money for them. If you want to be a member, it is expected that you pay more or less 'voluntary' directly to them.
I don't buy the "it's good and normal for you; suck it up" perspective. Pain is a useful signal that you're doing something wrong with your body, or that you need to rest to recover and heal. But if you're lying still on your bed recovering from a surgery and are still in pain, what purpose does that serve? It "builds character"? If that makes you happy, go for it, but don't impose that view on the rest of us.
Get a hardware wallet then -- the Ledger Nano S is great.
For those whose eyes glaze over at the sight of C code, take a look at the author.
Using the official IOTA JavaScript library, the address that should correspond to this seed is PUEBLAHRQGOTIAMJHCCXXGQPXDQJS9BDFSCDSMINAYJNSILCCISDVY99GMKAEIAICYQUXMIYTNQCJYVDX, and according to this website, that’s an empty wallet. However, other sites designed to show information about the transaction history of an address just give a 404 error (see here for an example), indicating that either I made an error decoding this address or I’m misunderstanding something about how the IOTA network works.

This for me points out the issue with cryptocurrency in general. Even someone with technical prowess can't figure out how exactly things are supposed to work.
>Let's not make atheists look like evil people who make children depressed. This is not OK.

That's not what he's doing at all.

But it is also true that religion is largely the underpinning of morality for most people in the world and early exposure to the idea that morality is relative and malleable and that actually the only real motivator is self-preservation is probably unhealthy for adolescents.

>Solving my problems actually seems to be the solution to my happiness, not to believe or have faith in anything. On the other side, a big part of many religions seems to involve thinking about death and guilt

A big part of religions is also charity work and the idea that you aren't just doing things for yourself or solving your own problems but solving the problems of others because they are your equals (at least in Abrahamic traditions, I am familiar with these).

I don't see where you can pull that out of atheism.

>What happens when this child learns that there have been wars about such things as religions when the claim is that they are about tolerence?

What a silly thing to say. Religions would not need to preach tolerance if mankind were inherently tolerant, no? If mankind is not inherently tolerant, why will a child be shaken to understand that that inherent intolerance causes wars over nearly everything (from religion to culture to language to land).
My understanding is that Georgia (specifically) also equips police cars with the ability to localize the position of many cars based on their RF "connected car" emissions at a range of several hundred meters, mostly higher end cars currently. These RF links will be in all cars eventually, it is regulatory (there is licensed spectrum dedicated for the purpose). Most people are oblivious to it.
Teenagers don't use facebook. Instagram and snapchat more. Which is kinda more effective in creating a false image of somebody else having the great look, great time, when you just take pictures of the "best" moments of your life, and leave out everything else.
Notably, unlike Xerox, which developed the Alto and its technologies in-house and let them rot, Apple launched Siri through acquisition of a fully functioning application which was already distributed through the App Store. It's more like Flickr.

There are some weird sweeping statements in this piece that I don't think represent reality, but I do agree that it seems Apple held Siri back from what it should have been, as a platform with a third party API, because it was afraid it would bypass Apple's control of the overall iOS platform somehow. Fatal mistake, and they lost a huge number of Siri's team by letting it rot the way they have.
Safe from the wrench? Your comment is the first panel of the comic.
Facing other mindsets and cultures is wholly different in real life versus solely online.

Why do you think racism / anti-Semitism / anti-Muslim sentiment is so prominent online and so much less prominent in real life? Why does so much research show that actual, in-person interactions with people of other backgrounds reduces the strength of racist stereotypes in people's minds?

It is using GPS for navigation at the moment. I wonder if the reduction in Lidar size and advancements in cameras would mean that in theory these things could be raced in groups. That would be cool.
Another thing that many people do not realize is that not all systems of servitude are the same. [1]

In the New World, all African slaves were treated as property and dehumanized. Slave masters sought to erase the slave's identity, to destroy the family, and to sow division in order to exert and maintain control. This form of servitude is called "chattel slavery", and was written into law in the United States.

There were many different forms of slavery practiced in African societies during the 1500-1800s. Commonly, slaves were given rights and were treated like indentured servants. Slaves could own property. They could marry and start families. Some slaves were treated brutally, but it is a tragic oversimplification of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade to suggest that all Africans sold to European traders were "doomed to enslavement". [2]

Everyone believes in something unproven.

Nobody has the capacity to create a worldview solely based on things they have personally proven to themselves. You have to trust someone somewhere without the ability to verify their claims. Every human being has to do this somewhere in their life.
In many jurisdictions there is a difference between being laid off and fired. Terminated can mean either so it's not a precise word to use. I have been laid off before and it is not a big deal. Being fired otoh is much worse because it implies misconduct.
It's ok for short code/stories, but how many pages of that would you read? There's often a point where there just are better structural choices than the crude linear approach -- hence, OOP, FP, RP and everything else.
If you are perfectly content with your life, then Facebook probably won’t be an issue at all. But if you have _any_ area where you don’t feel fulfilled - like bad life/work balance, insufficient funds, loneliness, unfulfilled baby wish - then Facebook is going to rub it into your face, daily, that others have what you desire, and does it in a misleading way.

Let’s say you can’t have a baby and you have a colleague with 4 kids at work. In real life, you talk to them, get a grasp of their situation, and might realize the caveats - Eg they also had an unfulfilled baby wish at first (which gives you hope), or you can offset the perceived „unfairness“ with the areas they are lacking in (eg they often feel overwhelmed by the kids or are sick a lot). On Facebook, you have an army of super-happy baby making machines, posting Instagram filtered of happy smiles in the sunny park, kids cuddling with a dog, birthday candles... the bad moments are very rarely reported - and when they are, lots of people flock to the post and comment, making that person their center of attention (= socially important). But they won’t write next to that happy picture „right after, baby cried for 45 minutes and I almost had a nervous breakdown“ because you don’t appear to be in a favorable position when writing that.

[As a father of two, I was never directly affected by an unfulfilled baby wish, but a friend of ours was.]
Hmm, interesting. About the lack of web-fonts for ideographic writing, let me ask: how do people write them with a keyboard? Don’t they use some sort of multiple key encoding, a sort of predictive writing, to navigate the code space and select a particular symbol? Well, at every waypoint the font can add a single fragment to the ideograph so it just needs to encode these as the font glyph? I guess it can’t be too many right?

The article doesn’t mention it, but this practice of cutting in half in a tooth pattern is where the legal term ‘indenture’ comes from.

I'm curious to know how this is usually handled in the US. What would be the usual process for company B and C to work on the product?
Well that's new to me too. Thanks for the links!
I can't stand sites like these. A clear agenda, but rather than come out Nd say it, wrap it up in a collection of misleading graphs and stats.

The clear agenda is to push for cutting taxes no matter what. But it takes a relatively intelligent person a few mins to investigate the site to show that it's roughly nothing more than listing high income state in red and low income in green.

If CA is twice as wealthy as AL, and two families swap states, then you'll have net money flowing out.

And it's not accidental the coloring of red and green to implicitly associate one with good and bad. It of course flipped to support his agenda.

He should instead reverse the colors and ask the question, "Which state is growing / producing the most wealthy people? And sharing that wealth throughout the country?"

It's of course, CA/NY/DC/MA/... All those places he wants to try to paint poorly.
I've been so poor I had to sleep behind a dumpster and cover up with a cardboard box and I never found myself just buying paper plates over and over. The dollar tree will sell you a plate for 1 single George Washington. Or just eat out of the pot. Hell, I do that now just to save having to wash a dish. Something tells me this story doesn't add up.
They are probably right advising careful use of Ibuprofen, not because of kidney problems but because of heart conditions. There have been a couple of threads in HN recently, e.g. http://time.com/4568552/ibuprofen-naproxen-inflammation-safe... and http://time.com/3952889/painkillers-safety/?iid=sr-link1.
How battery mAh is any better than Talk time, browsing time and video watch time that Apple provides? After all, all you'll do is to try to guess these things from the battery capacity but despite what you believe battery capacity and use time are not always correlated linearly as the radio, SoC efficiency and OS optimisations etc. will have dramatic effect.

Giving engineering specs for consumer products is often very easy way to con to the consumer. All these knock off cheap devices have amazing specs that are advertised very loudly.

An interesting observation is that you actually don't want engineering specs about washing machines or tables :) That's probably because you are not very knowledgable about these things so you seek information that will affect you as a user. You are interested if you can fit the table and how much it will cost you to operate the washing machine, which are not exactly technical specs of the product but impact on the user.

If you step out of your techie shoes and step in the shoes of a washing machine nerd or a carpenter shoes you will find out that all you want to know bout a smartphone is how long the battery lasts and does it work nicely. Now, you probably want to know the type of the electric motor of the washing machine, it's power circuit and the material of and type of the pipes. As a carpenter you probably want to know what kind of process was applied to the wood and what's the brand of the glue used.

I've found that Reddit improves dramatically as you move away from the huge default subreddits and into smaller, more focused subs -- for hobbies you're involved in, for instance. For that sort of thing it's not half bad.

This is about much more than just voice control, if I got it right much of its added value could be realized by just typing, or more generally, by conversational text generated in any other way, of which online voice2text is one instance.

Also interesting that just like structuring everything around Windows hurt Microsoft, Apple seems to be falling into this with the iPhone.
This style has quite high cognitive load, how many 'and then's can you hold in you short term memory until you loose the context completely?

I believe the the art of programming is actually writing the code in a way that transitions the reader through context changes keeping the amount of context necessary to understand what's going on to a minimum.
Please don't post this sort of shallow gotcha comment here. I understand the thrill of catching someone out on the internet, but we're going for curiosity on this site, not indignation.

It also breaks the HN guideline which asks: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

It lacks coherence and overview and structure. I'm sure you'd agree that taking related "and thens" and wrapping them up in a procedure would be helpful. The next step after that is coming up with more informative relations than "and then".

A description like

"I went off the platform and then on the train and then I looked at the nearest seat and then I saw it was occupied and then I looked at the next seat and then I saw that was occupied too snd then I repeated that and then I saw an empty seat and then I walked toward it and then I sat down and then ..."

is begging for structure by wrapping up into procedures

"I boarded the train, and then I located the closest free seat, and then I sat down in it ..."

with the obvious definitions. That can in turn can be further improved to

"After boarding the train I sat down in the first free seat ..."

where the relations between the things are more useful than "and then".
