Actually, reading a bit about it, laryngospasm does not occur during drowning and so it can't protect you.

The source is "Laryngospasm in breath-hold diving", found in the proceedings of the 2006 Breath-hold diving workshop:

https://www.diversalertnetwork.org/files/UHMS_DAN_2006_Breat...

Vocal cord closure is certainly protective in the initial stages of an immersion
accident. This occurs only when the victim is conscious. A person who is
unconscious when they enter the water or who loses consciousness in the water
will not have protective laryngeal reflexes. If consciousness is lost during
static apnea or in an underwater swimming contest, the vocal cords will relax
and will not close in response to inhaled water. Similarly a breath-hold diver
who loses con sciousness will not develop laryngospasm.
But are they smart sneakers with voice control?
I'm talking profit focused vs growth focused. Guess that wasn't very clear. Obviously making a profit is somewhere on 100% of every company's agenda.
C++ templates are bad because they are untyped generics (e.g. C++ doesn't check that the key type for an hashmap is hashable, and instead you get a bunch of errors that there is no "hash" overload accepting certain arguments when you try to call a method on the hashmap).

C++ tried to add a type system for templates with "concepts" but it was scrapped.

Rust instead has properly typed generics instead using the trait system, resulting in proper static checking and proper error messages (although without higher kinded types and const generics currently, that C++ instead supports).

Rust also has a powerful macro system, which is unrelated to templates, although you can use them to have kinds of abstractions that the language doesn't support directly (like higher kinded types, const generic or abstracting over mutability), at the cost of having to explicitly perform instantiation, not having inference and having a higher cognitive burder.
I feel like there’s a lot of great podcasts coming out in the last years. Every time I tell myself I’m getting back into podcasts I usually subscribe to 10 of them, then the backlog gets too huge and I delete everything again.

My new strategy is just to subscribe to one or two. Usually ones with seasons and not weekly / monthly and one common topic which helps me stay attached to it.

The ones I enjoyed most in the last weeks are:

Cool, but personally when I hear something as being HN/reddit style, I think of of the listings being pretty compact (submittable, votable listings are done on many other places).

On my phone, I see about 14 listings per screen on HN, 9ish on Reddit (mobile website, I don't use the app). This? Only 4. So whole I would personally prefer something more dense, but good job nonetheless!
Well, maybe "objective" was the wrong word. But you can try to see things from other people's point of view. This is something humans can do.

Ola (similar to Uber/Lyft in India) have refund button and it works pretty well. One time I booked a ride and the driver cancelled it after 20 minutes because of traffic, but I got charged for that. The Ola app had refund option and I choose the reason "The driver cancelled the ride" and I got the money back (to Ola wallet).
This isn't just a $5 issue. My friend had a driver start a ride without her in the car, and then kept it going as they drove multiple hours to the tune of $650. The whole time we were trying to stop it but there was no option. Months of tweeting and emailing and calling later, they weren't budging. It wasn't until I started a Reddit thread asking why Lyft allows drivers to scam riders that they finally relented and refunded the money. Customer service!
Hi Julien! I'm here to help! Send me a DM with your ride number, email address, credit card number, photo ID, and last three locations that you lived in.

You may want to read the book "Your Money or Your Life", and http://mrmoneymustache.com

For some people work isn't their goal, it's other things. So it's not "how do I find the job that will be the be-all of my life", it's "how can I get paid enough to fund the things I actually care about."

If you have enough money that you don't need to work for now—that's fine. Reduce your living expenses and it'll go even further.

When you need money, you can just get a job that you don't hate, cash your paycheck, and not worry about "passion".
I thought about this comment for awhile because I have unassailably high class friends who have spent $10k+ on TVs and sneakers. I think the key is they just do it with confidence. I jokingly made fun of my friend's sneaker collection but he just laughed it off without any hint of concern. Once you understand all the different social queues then you can start to act however you want as long as you have bulletproof self confidence. Taken to extreme lengths you might end up being referred to as eccentric but these days it's almost a desirable label.
But by leaving all that. You can get to know yourself and discover what it is that truly drives you. Everyone has something that drives them even if they dont know. Sometime it takes drastically altering your life to discover that. I was mostly joking about the forest hermit thing. It's more about maybe making a big change to your life, doing something you're scared of or never thought of doing and seeing where it takes you.

I mean if you find life dissatisfying now. What do you have to lose? But you may discover something you never even knew existed. You said you have time and money. What else are those things for if not trying new things in life? You only get one to do things as far as we can tell. If what you're doing now sucks and small things don't help try making a big ridiculous terrifying change. Just do something on a whim. I've done it lots and I can tell you my life certainly has been interesting. It doesn't always work out well but it's never boring. I've been everything from a biologist to a programmer, to a garderner to a cnc operator. I've ran my own business, I helped start a non-profit organization. That's just work let alone my fucked up personal life. I've never had a lot of money or time though. I just take the opportunities that come and go where life takes me.

> The price in USDT and USDT-only exchanges could indeed rocket, but the price in real actual USD would be expected to fall.

Wait, would it?

If you were an arb wouldn't you:

1) Buy bitcoin on a different exchange (with a temporarily lower price)

2) Transfer that bitcoin to, say, bitfinex (or another USDT exchange)

3) Sell that bitcoin for, say, ETH

4) Transfer that ETH back to the first exchange

5) Profit

Though I guess that would also flood the market and tank the ETH-BTC price as well (though I guess another arb could take advantage of that discrepancy as well).

Or are you talking about exchanges that only do USDT-BTC?
Alternatively, if you've already waited double the estimated time, do the same popup.
> there is no evidence that this happens disproportionately on a racial basis.

There's actually considerable evidence that adverse interactions with law enforcement of all kinds (and not just LE murder) are not evenly distributed by race.

Whether that is a result of deliberate LE racism vs. other factors which contribute to such encounters being distributed disproportionately by race has more mixed evidence.
I'm not very good at these things but it always struck me as odd: SAYING that a bitcoin is worth 1$ doesn't make it magically SO.
You think you're rebutting the article, but it says those exact things.
"Is there evidence of 99% of supposedly non-complicit muslims standing with victims of terrorism, insisting on justice for those guilty?"

"Is there evidence of 99% of supposedly non-complicit blacks standing with victims of black crime, insisting on justice for those guilty?"

If you assume that everyone in a group is guilty of some crime committed by a tiny fraction because there isn't evidence that 99% of them condemn the guilty, then you're participating in a conspiracy and you're validating a dangerous line of reasoning that can be weaponized against anyone, including groups that you care about and/or belong to.
Do you brush and floss?
> There's a point where I started to wonder if dentists in general are worried about becoming obsolete. That's conspiracy theory, of course, so I don't take it seriously. But I do wonder all the same.

If they are, someone should hold their hands and reassure them, or something. I haven't been to a dentist in about 6 years, mostly due to procrastination - though I can afford to have work done, I don't have coverage for it.

I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about going if I thought they could actually fix something, instead of announcing that they want to drill more holes in my teeth every time.
MIT has been in decline since the 1980s. I attribute it to hiring professional education people as administrators, rather than MIT alums as administrators and as equal partners in running the institution. The end of the Cold War and decline in defense research funding might be a factor, too. I was at MIT in the late 90s and I could see it getting worse even over a few years.

It is still decent in bio, some of the graduate institutes, etc, but the core engineering school isn’t the MIT of engineering anymore. My employee friends largely agree.

> C++ tried to add a type system for templates with "concepts" but it was scrapped.

concepts was merged into the C++2020 draft recently, so not entirely scrapped! I forget if it was full-blown concepts or "concepts lite" though.
The internet will almost certainly spawn a social movement to destroy the class system in the US. People are just waking up to how bad it is. The #MeToo movement only happened because rich people are losing media control, and it's just one of many to come.

I don't buy it. First of all, the class system is about material interests - real physical tangible interests - and not about feelings. Even if 99% of the people live in a world of ideas, the ruling class, by virtue of the fact that they have to bargain over laws (multi hundred page documents that decide taxation and allocation as well as employee and business rights), live in the world of the material.

The American populace lives, and probably since at least the mid 20th century has lived, in a world of ideas. By this I mean, the country is torn asunder by feelings about abortion, race, gender and so forth, immigration [edit: and also celebrity-lead culture] -- all issues that, guess what, don't even touch the interests of the .01%.

#MeToo poses no threat whatsoever to any class system.
The flip side of that is that many services mangle or strip meta-data. Exif data is also easily editable and not all cameras, phones, or software properly populate it. I can see a situation where someone edits a photo before uploading which causes the creation date to default to the date it was edited and not the date the photo was taken.
Sorry for the snippy response. In my (possible) defense, it was before your edit. The really sad thing is that while even well-cared-for teeth do fail eventually, that time is typically after one turns 70yo. I was also raised on spring water, but my well-informed parents made certain that we took vitamins that contained fluoride on a daily basis.
Weather it's most or a lot, the noise generated in either case is enough to cause operational issues and bottleneck customer service for people who have genuine needs for refunds.
DreamWorksTV launches first over-the-top streaming service on Amazon Channels
Nevertheless, all of the data on LE murder agree that there is no racial disparity in victimhood. We can and should collect better data, but "police disproportionately murder blacks" is not supported by the evidence.
Completely agree. A lot of the big VCs are investing in the fundamental biology side of it. However, there is so much room for advancements in the equipment, gene panels, automation, lab analytics, etc.

As an example, we just bought a device called an Eppendorf EpMotion 5075. It costs around $20k and looks like it was something I would have built in high school. Exposed wires, slow, insanely expensive parts. Worst of all: there's no API for us to programmatically connect it with other devices in the lab, such as a DNA extractor.

You also hit the nail on the head with the investment mentality. Know enough to be dangerous. Ask "why" to learn more about the problems. And (IMO) most importantly, realize that you don't have to put down $1M as a seed. You'd be shocked at the ROI on just even $50k...
