> you'll be better off in all ways.

I have three different skin conditions - if i take a shower and use no products (body wash, face wash, shampoo) then they flare/continue to flare. So, no - i'll be worse.

The reality is this isn't going to be for everyone. If it works for you, great. But it's not something everyone can take up and should not be portrayed as such.

$500,000,000 for a week of advertising for a museum?

I think the only thing they are advertising is they have a lot of money.

I'm guessing targeting other people with a lot of money.
The main motivation is that Bruxelles is in Belgium. The US / UK / “Five Eyes” security apparatus takes the EU more seriously than most EU members themselves. Among other things, they really don’t want for anything like “an European integrated army” to emerge as an alternative to Nato.

And the second motivation is that they can. The pre-Snowden speculation was that all major European carriers are targets for NSA and friends, and the Snowden files basically reinforced that view. The question is not “why should they spy on their allies”, everyone has always done that; the question is the degree of success that any given player achieves and what they do with the info they gather. In this case, it looks like the operation was a great success, followed by huge failure (it was burnt to the ground).
The skill is being able to solve the issues with the help of google. A skill many lack.
You’re talking about strict regulation of cross border payments, which isn’t a market that ecommerce and mobile payments really operate in at all.

Bank infrastructure has been a minor factor at best in the adoption/explosion of mobile payments - we’re talking about Wechat and Alipay basically.
Agreed. The article sort of presents these kind of "computer problems" as a barrier to getting started with programming. I don't quite agree -- or maybe they are, but only in the sense that they "filter out" those who don't really want to be programmers at an earlier point in time.

Don't get me wrong; I don't think there's any point in making new programmers jump through arbitrary hoops because "programming should be hard". But I think that today, programming is necessarily intertwined with computing and problem-solving in general, and all the Dockers and specialised positions in the world don't change that. To be a good developer, you need to have some idea about the systems your code will be running on. A program doesn't just exist in a bubble. (This is more true for some kinds of applications, less for others, of course.)
Threat model is building (but not executing) untrusted code.
Every current PC system can be broken, no matter which operating system it is running. Intelligence agencies use 0-day exploits and test the software they use against known antivirus software and intrusion detection systems.

There are also plenty of companies such as Lench/Gamma who overtly advertise their ability to penetrate any system. You can only buy or lease their software as a state actor, though.
Man hole covers aren't flat discs nor thin cylinders, but are truncated cones. The diameter of the bottom of the cover is smaller than the top. There is no way for a cone to fall through an opening smaller than the widest diameter end.
Agile requires discipline and that's hard to implement.
The no-shampoo thing seems to work great when I have short hair. Long hair needs the full package including conditioner, and more often too.
Not surprising. The things you can do with your smartphone in China makes the US and Europe look like a third world country.
So much money and yet this is what they are betting on:

I just baffles the mind, how much money is being thrown at this. I think Ethereum is still mostly just a foggy idea of something that might have potential. But it is nowhere near ready to host any dapp that creates value. The chief problem is that while you can execute code in a decentralised manner, you cannot interact with the real world in a decentralised manner. You still need to have a trusted source of information from the outside world. And if that wasn't enough of a problem, anything that isn't a stupid game is going to run into legal hurdles very quickly.
You can write vim extensions in python, Perl, ruby, lua and of course viml.

And vim launches in milliseconds, so no need to keep it running in the background as some text editing server.
>That approach worked just great, until I hit puberty... Trust me, if you think nobody needs deodorant just as long as you don’t use soap (or some other such nonsense), I am the living proof of just how extremely far from the truth you are.

Many? The only ethnicity that does not have that is asians IIRC, they lack a certain gene for body odor. So i think it's really everyone but them.
Assume you build a product using TLS as the underlying encryption layer. Unfortunately, few months later, some bored mathematician figures out how to completely break AES and ECDH.

Should you be held accountable for choosing "weak" ciphers?
Try logging a bug, I know it might seem ridiculous but it may help with efforts to improve VBA compatibility.
Thanks for feedback!

We will change the logo size. Agree on the landing page not explaining about the product. Will work on it.

We have the servers located at India and we are probably guessing the slow page load is because of this.

We are working on reducing the size of the page, which is something we have overlooked.

If the above teething problems are solved, can I know if you feel the product will be used by people gradually?
Great idea then!

Twin Oaks Place, Manila. View from 32nd floor out over Manila is incredible especially at night. There are even distant mountains you can see once the smog clears in the morning! ;)
What an absurd article. It makes a totally unsubstantiated statement near the beginning:

"Whether or not you choose to wear your reading glasses will make no difference to your eyesight in the long run..."

Then goes on to conclude:

"But, returning to adults, what I find curious is the lack of studies that have been carried out in this area."
Just use Ctrl-C instead of Escape. Often less hand-motion than going all the way to the upper-left, and it works everywhere, without custom remapping of Caps Lock, etc.
I have no expertise with self driving cars. I'm not even an engineer. But this is a case where a lot of experts might be wrong. I think there are many paths to a self-driving car, and an expert might only be familiar with their particular research. That is why there are so many vocal voices saying it can't be done. But these voices only know what doesn't work--they don't know what does work

The police literally do not help with this sort of scam unless the amount is big enough to matter. People run scams like this all the time on craigslist, whether it's for tickets or apartment rentals or whatever. It's so common that police simply don't have the resources to chase them down, and if you call to file a complaint sometimes they'll tell you not to bother.

I previously ran across a scam like this while apartment hunting, and ended up contacting the local police along with the scammer's bank. Neither of them were willing to do anything about it so I left it be. Hopefully they didn't get anyone's money, but they probably did...
96% of hydrogen already comes from fossil fuels:

> There are four main sources for the commercial production of hydrogen: natural gas, oil, coal, and electrolysis; which account for 48%, 30% 18% and 4% of the world’s hydrogen production respectively.

Well, the more the merrier is as true for scientific studies as for sex parties. The point is that no two studies are going to be set up in the exact same way, so it's interesting to examine the results of slightly different experiments.

But probably more importantly, because there is no study that can claim 100% certainty for anything, having many studies confirm the same effect is always a good thing.

It substantiated that statement by talking about age-related longsightedness as coming from the stiffening of your eye, not from any impact given by reading glasses. You get older, your eyes age along with the rest of you.
Ideally, an IR should just collect whatever information is necessary for the main thread to actually handle the routine. Compare this to raising and handling an event in e.g. javascript: the event payload is handled by the main thread, the IR would just be responsible for creating that event payload object. (this is a horrible comparison, to be honest)

The problem with IRs is they put the processor in a very fragile state. Different chips handle e.g. stacked interrupts (an interrupt which occurs while another interrupt was being handled) differently, but no matter how they do it, you won't like it. Sometimes it turns off certain types of memory access protection, or other important (hardware) peripherals which might be ignored (because they, themselves, operate using those same interrupts under the hood); it's all madness.

Hence the interrupt just puts together some event data, sets some flag, and the main event loop can handle it when the time is there.
How many people a year go to the 'real' Louvre year after year just to see the Mona Lisa? I guess they're hoping for a similar long term pay off.
Debian already supports ARM with and without hard float.

Supporting a soft-float RISC is not different.
I know it sounds strange, but if you can make it through the first month or two of not using body soap or shampoo regularly you'll be better off in all ways.

I generally don't use shampoo, hair product, etc. But I really hate seeing comments like this on HN because it is anecdotal and the assumption that it generalizes is unwarranted.

I have a genetic disorder. It has taken me years to get to the point where skipping soap and shampoo in the shower most of the time makes sense. I use lots of hand soap, hand sanitizer and even spray peroxide for germ control.

Physiology, air quality, water quality and other factors significantly impact the particulars here. So, great if you can make it work for you. Wonderful if you want to share tips. Honest. But you only alienate people when you make such claims because inevitably someone reading this will chime in to say they have done absolutely everything you talk about and could not make it work for them.
I was 51 when I started my PhD in software engineering. Some thought it was a sort of mid-life crisis. Over the decades of working in various areas of IT I had a burning desire to research a specific area that held an enduring interest for me.

I need to correct your use of the word "study". Doing a PhD is about extending an existing body of knowledge in a small but significant way. So you need to already have a Masters level of knowledge in your field and to be reasonably up to date in the field. Once you start your research you survey your field, aka literature review. Then you formulate how you are going to contribute and get stuck into experiment after failed experiment.

I was most fortunate to have advisors from several other leading universities around the world, people who were widely cited in my field. My principal advisor was helpful in navigating the bureaucracy, getting funding for conferences and motivating me to write and present several papers at conferences in my field.

Doing a PhD is an emotional roller coaster ride. I suggest that you Google extensively to read about other people's experiences. Be warned, you will find a lot of humanities PhDs experiences. Ignore them. Science and engineering PhDs are very different so focus on those. I can recommend reading phdcomics.com - lighthearted, and very accurate. Writing the dissertation can be challenging. Graduating feels like crossing the finish line after running a marathon -- total exhilaration and you forget the character building challenges that you faced up to in order to get there.
It sounds like if you don't say stop, they will say stop for you.
Debian developer revisits FreeBSD after 20 years (2015)
That's a proof that something is possible. Actually doing it is a huge amount of work. ARM and RISC-V both have different ABIs for hard/soft float and once you support multiple ABIs you end up compiling everything twice and multiarching everything. Also that's ARMv7 (32 bit). This is a 64 bit chip and I'm not aware of any ARM 64 bit chip that lacks an FPU.

In any case I was thinking about kernel or M-layer emulation of floats which is different, requires a bunch of code to be written once, but doesn't require software gymnastics from the distro.

It may be the new job is just as boring, in which case the only difference is the money. On the other hand you are very unhappy where you are so isn't it worth forgoing the money, in the hope that you do find something more appealing?
I doubt that assertion. Look to its neighbor India - a relatively much freer and open society, but greeted with sneery snarkiness on these fora.
Saving Investors from Themselves
Or just don't use fabric softener. I quit years ago, and my clothes last a bit longer (I also do not use a clothes dryer). Don't use products you don't need, be it hygiene or cleaning products. Buy low- or no-scent laundry soap. Avoid air fresheners, scented lotions, and whatnot.

Some folks don't need daily deodorant, and most of us don't need daily showers.

And as an aside: Vinegar is generally only used as a replacement for fabric softener. As I mentioned, it isn't a problem to go without, but furthermore can harm some of the rubber tubes and stuff in your washer.
Maybe it would be a good idea to only allow this technology if it entirely powered by renewable energy.

It’s only fraud if the promises of the contract have been broken. Nowhere in their whitepaper they equate a token with a right to receive dividend or to claim a share of the company’s assets in the event of a sale.
It's a sign of asset price increases across the board. The value of money hasn't changed THAT much (yet) with all the central banks money printing, but inequality has.

Asset prices -- whatever the asset class, have boomed through the roof. Money, aside from for consumption, just isn't worth a lot anymore.
Ultimately miners aren’t in charge. If miners try to change the rules, but the majority of users ignore them, the miners’ fork will be close to worthless.
Thank you for your detailed response. I am 37 now and plan to ‘get up to speed’ through private study then start a PhD when I am 40. Did you remain in academia after your PhD?
Let old people die faster? It sounds callous to frame it in terms of dollars and cents, but allowing people to choose to end their own lives might lift some of the burden on our healthcare systems.

I'm still on the fence about the issue of euthanasia, but I think the Overton window is shifting. In time, I think that debate will make the debate on abortion look cordial.
The Overpass API should be the first call. Alternatively, you can download OSM data and feed it into your own database, which gives you much more flexibility to write the queries you want (http://download.geofabrik.de/ is a good place to download the data for the area you want; osm2pgsql and Osmosis are the two standard tools for loading OSM into a database, usually Postgres/PostGIS, though there are others).
Well, investing such cryptoassets into other cryptoassets as well as hodl’ing those cryptoassets are two robust everyday use cases.

It’s launching an airline by pre-selling miles. Sure, you might have 1,000,000 miles and Platinum status on that new airline, the boarding passes are on the blockchain, but the airline gets to control the mile redemption rates and status privileges for that Platinum level.
Yup. But if you look at the reported P&L, they have grown revenue 2.5X over 6 quarters, held or slightly improved gross margins and grown op ex o slightly less than 2X in the same period. So clearly business is growing and growing healthy with a path to profitability even without invoking "self drive cars"

I've been skeptical of Uber in the past but this performance is very impressive. It's probably not Google/FB P&L level impressive but that's just applying a very stretch benchmark.

And yet china population has been 5x US population for at least a century, but we’re witnessing china waking up only for the last 20 years. The fact that they’re reaching phd level in large quantity is a new thing.
That's the point. Under some of the more liberal legislations in eg. Denmark, you can fire people for "cooperation difficulties". The bar is higher than at-will, but it's not very difficult to meet. The employer just have to show that it has tried and failed to remedy the "difficulties" first (so you can't just fire people the next day). It's unclear that the statements found to constitute sexual discrimination could reasonably be meaningfully "remediated" (especially if the employer isn't in fact committed to it, it just have to show that it tried).
My insight is some guy tried to predict the future and was wrong. He'll join a long line of other prognosticators, it seems.

As others have commented e-payments require bank account. What i think is that the fact we’re still using the same tool for payment before and after the internet and the mobile revolutions is more the symptom of a totally crippled banking sector. Either because of bad regulations, or simply dominant position abuses that has been tolerated for too long.
I don't think it can pump it's own gas lol.
You just can't google a certain term, "something square" IIRC.
> ... if you start with selected text, does it fill the buffer with it

> There's an outstanding PR that does preciesly that

Just to be clear, I believe that PR will fill the newly-opened Vim buffer with text from the clipboard - not selected text.
> You can only buy or lease their software as a state actor, though.

there is a wide spectrum of actors in this space and besides the well known (Gamma/HackingTeam) also include many smaller firms that do not shy from working in a gray area and cater to both criminal enterprises, unstable regimes, warlords. Especially smaller fish fill the niche (AREA[¹], Negg[²], ...)

Though any of these providers they don't just give you a software because "solutions* would (due to their nature) rarely work out of the box. Instead they come with a consulting service contract to ensure the system is correctly used (to facilitate breaching the target). So "state actors" isn't restricted to spy-agencies but low-level law-enforcement who lack the budget and technical know-how for maintaining or creating these tools. So these systems are kind of a poor-mans TAO.

Yes. This definition of his:

In particular, he's predicting when a company does this profitably, not at a loss as part of research.

I mean, Tesla has already announced / demoed an electric semi-truck that will probably be able to drive itself pretty soon, so I don't think that's much of a worry.
I think next in this case was meant like any other framework (Vue or Angular with NativeScript) which is available and doesn't have the license issue, which React had.

haphazard traffic flow due to lack of traffic safety awareness and road discipline by pedestrians and drivers alike are not exclusive to just India. we have a large Indian population in Malaysia and Singapore... go to their Little India enclaves and you see the same free for all situation... perhaps just a little better then shown in the video.
To be fair, the smoking laws here in Norway are a little more relaxed than they were when i was living in the US. Want to smoke in the hospital parking lot? You'll get escorted off. Same for areas outside some airports, but I can smoke outside the airport here in Trondheim before I get on the bus. No real problem smoking on the sidewalks downtown. Some ask you to go away from the doors, but that isn't a real issue and I find it reasonable. Companies aren't firing people for smoking, and I don't find they tell folks they simply cannot smoke during the work day (including lunch).

>> The best basketball players start by spending years and years just playing the game all the time, as recreation.

No, they start by joining a club where they get professional training, from a very young age. Just playing the game all the time won't make you any better at it. There are millions of children that spent significant part of their childhood playing basketball for fun, and never went past amateur level.

This is just a conclusion from Ericsson famous paper[1]: you need DELIBERATE practice, not just recreational playing.

Playing for fun will just develop bad habits, which you then will have to unlearn, so recreational playing might actually be an obstacle to learning.
