I didn't want to be the first to say it, but it does feel very inappropriate and gay to ask another straight man that I barely know to hang out one-on-one.

Which means that you need to meet potential friends through and with a group which makes it a lot more difficult.
For decades, IMO, the companies have tried their best to make it as hard (and expensive) as possible for people who can fix their own. Making this another gambit in the chess game.
Conclusions: In this 12-month weight loss diet study, there was no significant difference in weight change between a healthy low-fat diet vs a healthy low-carbohydrate diet, and neither genotype pattern nor baseline insulin secretion was associated with the dietary effects on weight loss. In the context of these 2 common weight loss diet approaches, neither of the 2 hypothesized predisposing factors was helpful in identifying which diet was better for whom.
I think it's a choice between one of the newer kits and just buying something from eBay that will get you on the air. Any transceiver manufactured in the past 20-30 years will be just fine, and might result in more on the air fun (at least initially) than a low power kit.

That is true and it makes writing bots relatively easy. From what I've read about XMPP, it appears that most languages have libraries to abstract the XMPP protocol to make writing a bot easier.
Ah! I got the impression he expected the manufacturer to supply the code.

I drew up a wireframe of what I'm thinking: http://symbolflux.com/images/wireframe123.jpg

Would be cool to keep it something super simple like that—though you'd need a way to create new 'terminals' which get pinned to particular geolocations, too. (Also 'terminal' isn't quite the right concept/term... but yeah.) Maybe each user gets one terminal that they can place somewhere... Maybe if it gets enough upvotes the user who placed it is allowed to place another.

Thoughts anyone?
The argument is often made that GMOs are simply a sped-up process of the sort of guided evolution carried out by farmers since the start of agriculture so I find it hard to sympathize when the GMO proponents sue a farmer for doing exactly that.
Actually there is. 21st century money.

It would be actually possible to use a government's money in various new ways. Think of what could happen in the economy if the government provided flexible and free payment services.

I'm probably missing something obvious here, maybe someone can explain the following to me.

- Their approach is a composition of 2 steps, what they call "stylization" and "smoothing".

- Top left of 2nd page they claim: "Both of the steps have closed-form solutions"

- Equations 5 is the closed form solution for the "smoothing" step.

My question: Where's the closed-form solution for the stylization step that they're claiming?

Are they calling equation 3 a closed-form expression? In this case the title and the claim in the introduction are rather misleadinng, because computing 3 requires you to train autoencoders.

Better example. Imagine, as an investor:

- an Early Stage, pre-traction startup gave a pitch to you at a meeting

- you came out feeling "default not invest" (i.e. if nothing new happens you won't invest)

- you later emailed them a Factual question

- they replied with an elaborate Graph/Pie/Chart with lots of numbers to clarify some detail, that the founders decided were not important enough to be in the original pitch

- that Graph/Pie/Chart turned you from "no" to "yes"

when was the last time that happend?

That's how the process works, but it's more complicated than you'd think. The room a speaker is in changes the overall frequency response. Speakers aren't flat, either. There are ways to get past these obstacles, but it can be difficult and expensive to get right. Going to the the world of infrasound just increases the complexity.
But you do control all the source code within your GOPATH! It's right there on your file system.

There's also a mechanism to take control of the same code even when it's outside your GOPATH. Github calls this mechanism a "pull request".

i'm building my own. i already ride an ebike everywhere and i'm working on some modifications to extend my range to what i used to be able to reach in my ICE vehicle.

i have been ebiking for a while to force myself into a healthier lifestyle. more recently, i was inspired by sun trip[0][1] to explore the concept of a light electric vehicle (lev) powered by a combination of solar and human power. since its diy, you can bet that any "connected" parts of the machine will be running libre software and the most open hardware i can get my hands on.

why depend on car companies when i can bypass them and buy parts wholesale? electric drive trains aren't very complex[2], especially the sort that you would put on an ebike. like, a basic understanding of electronics and the ability to follow some instructions is all you need.

I met most of my current friends in my 30s. I think it's possible, you just have to prioritize it and put yourself out there in situations where you'll encounter the same people over and over again and can grow something over time because of it. Either sports, or games (board games has been pretty darn effective for me), or exercise (like going on hikes together), or volunteer work, or something.

Like you said, grad school has been useful because you're all going through the same situation and spending repeated time with each other.

For me, it was picking a handful of Meetup.com groups that interested me and going to meetups over and over and over again, until I became one of the regulars that knew pretty much everyone and they knew me. And then we started inviting each other to private events, and friendships grew from there.

I find that a lot of articles shared on HN along the lines of "This is how you do X" conveniently cherry picks anecdotes from the perspective of an individual blind to their own intrinsic edge and attempts to generalize which poses many problems for the average reader.

For example, charging people before you make a software product. Very rarely can you convince someone you never met over the phone or email to give you money for something that doesn't exist yet but this is apparently what you need to do as an average joe.

I love that waze is configurable in this and other ways. That + the cop detector are what drive me to use it. Sadly, as an iOS user with CarPlay, it’s apple maps for nav with waze running in the background to alert me of hazards. Not elegant but it works.

If any Apple employees are reading this: I’m definitely not the only one who hates Apple maps, and forcing me to use it makes me hate it even more. Stop that, PLEASE. Car nav systems are awful enough as it is. Carplay isn’t great, but it’s better than any other car system I’ve used. The text messaging stuff is particularly annoying, as are “storage almost full” notifications WHILE I AM DRIVING. You can’t display a text message, but will terribly offer to read it to me then activate voice control, and yet storage space getting low is important enough to pop an alert that I have to interact with to make it stop? Please reconsider these priorities. Also, make Spotify fix their garbage carplay app.
The long road to ensuring that Singapore's waste doesn't go to waste
Being crammed shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers in a capsule is stressful for most people. Some deal with the stress by chit-chattering with others to distract themselves. Others just want to escape into their own heads and block out the uncomfortable surroundings.

I don't think much has changed, except now more people use headphones and cell phones to signal that they're in the latter group. Previously they would have nodded and said "mm-hmm, oh wow" a lot.
> What put me off Jupyter is that it can't do dynamic text. I can't link to a variable in the code, such that the text updates when I run the code again with new parameters.

You can either output text (including HTML/Markdown) from a code cell, or (at least for python, don't know of similar for other languages) use the Python Markdown notebook extension to do this.
That should be fine, at least for avoiding this attack.

In general, though, there are solid reasons to use this pattern in React. With uncontrolled components, you won’t be able to use React to do form validation or AJAX form submission. You would need to bypass the React virtual DOM and attach listeners on the actual DOM elements.
There may be some people who genuinely have trouble keeping track of time or planning ahead, but 99% of people who are habitually late (myself included at times) are just rude and inconsiderate.

Come on, in your own example you provide a white lie to the person and tell them it'll be 30 mins, when you know that it could likely be longer. Why not just say you're running an hour late instead?

I suffer from this myself, so don't feel like I'm picking on you, but I realized a long time ago that it's just me being dishonest with myself and others, and I should cut it out.
There are many merchants who have found that increasing the generosity of their refund policy leads to decreased refund rates.

I.e. a 6 month refund window may have a lower overall refund rate than a 1 month window.

It gives users who are on the fence about the value of a product more time to see how they've gotten value out of it. It also gives people longer to forget to ask for the refund.

The only reason some companies have a "1 year" refund policy instead of "lifetime/anytime" is because of issues like credit card merchant processors being uncomfortable with the credit risk that creates.

I agree it takes consistent effort to develop new friendships well into adulthood (like any worthwhile relationship). For most, during childhood/adolescence/young adulthood it takes consistent effort to NOT develop friendships, the opportunities are often forced upon you.

Advise: If you are an adult who is struggling to find friendship and find yourself pushing away opportunities bc of (percieved) unequal interest: Resist your ego's crusade of misery.

If you've ever flaked on someone for a reason other than: you secretly hate them, or malicous disrespect... try calling an 11th time, maybe even a 15th(...apply discression here, and of course not in a row).

Relationships are not a zero sum game, don't wait for hubris to rationalize loneliness.

I used to be a huge Waze fan, and I do still use it, but both Apple Maps and Google Maps provide much better UX in a lot of ways: I really miss lane guidance, for instance. I think Waze still has the best traffic guidance, but I'm pretty sure the number of times I've clicked "yes, now that you've shown me this ad, I would like you to stop the route I'm on now and take me 17 minutes out of my way to go to the nearest Burger King, thanks" is 0%.

Also, whoever thought it was a great idea to permanently stick a button in the user interface that brings up an ad for Waze Carpool needs to be soundly whipped. I mean, I don't have any studies to back this up, but I'm pretty sure that when someone is in their car already, using Waze, they don't need to schedule a carpool pickup. Because they're in their car. Driving.

I love that waze let’s you at least specify a preference. Apple maps and Google Maps are too simple in this regard IMO. Ideally, for advanced users, you could choose 0-100 how to optimize for route “stickiness” (staying on the same roads) vs aggressive optimization for time.

I’m guessing that the “difficult intetsections” in LA are e.g. two-way multi-lane streets with no left turn arrow (yield on green). How LA thinks that these actually work in 2018 is beyond my comprehension (for those who have never had the pleasure of driving in LA traffic, it basically translates to waiting half a dozen light cycles while both directions grid lock until someone stops to let you turn in front of them).

The real question here is what colleges are admitting kids that can't read or write? Is affirmative action really so strong that these colleges accepted every kid from a HS where the average SAT score is in the 16th percentile? Or did the high school also help the kids fudge their applications?
I think you misread the example. Person A says they will be 30 mins late. Person B responds they are running late too, probably by an hour, so person A doesn't need to worry about being a mere 30 minutes late.
To be fair static graphs has its own advantages, specifically figuring out how to distribute computation over heterogeneous units. I think TF will still have upper hand when distributing computation over 10K CPUs/GPus but for everything else it’s a major pain to tolerate. The major issue with TF is it’s dissopointing API design- especially Estimator APIs and in many cases even lower level APIs. I wants to say WTF like at every line. Nothing is intuitive in that land. TF has jumped the shark here. In 1.5, they replaced documentation from old MNIST quick start to dumbed down Iris using Estimator API. I can only say WTF? Hopefully this disaster would divert enough of new comers to better things like PyCharm or even CNTK.
I second this. Look into GiveWell and effective altruism, if you're not familiar with them. Also look up the term "earn to give". There's some truly amazing opportunities to deploy capital in the service of the less fortunate, particularly in places like Sub-Saharan Africa where e.g. $3500 buys enough mosquito nets to result, statistically, in one life saved. $3500!
Humans are really bad at estimating time. So it may just be consistently bad time estimation born out of optimism. The solution is still to double the amount of time you expect things to take so that you're closer to the mark.

Leaving it for a permanent record of my crankiness. Sigh, I may be getting old...
I have no opinion on Apple Maps, as I haven't owned an iPhone since before it was available. However this, anecdotally, is definitely not my experience with Waze. Unless an accident happens (or additional traffic for some other random reason) on the route while I am on it, it is almost always perfect in its prediction. There are a few routes for me to take to and from work, and I check Waze every trip for which one I am going to take. I have learned to never argue with the route it takes me. Every time I take the 'Google' route instead of what Waze wants, I regret it because I end up sitting in an extra 10-15 minutes of traffic. Its also nice to be rerouted off of a road if an accident happens part way into the commute. I happen to be one of the fans of moving instead of sitting in traffic though, so that could also contribute. Its probably also worth noting, its 45-65 minutes each way, depending on start times. Perhaps the distance / time affects mine over the author. I might actually start a table of what it does for me now though, could be interesting to see.
We've lost the families and social institutions that once developed those relationships, and in general the ability to put up with people outside our comfort zone.

Some community colleges (and even a few state colleges) in the USA are required as part of their charters or funding to accept any student who graduates high school in that area for at least one “trial” semester.
At my high school they pulled bs like this too. We all had to apply to our local community College, which had a 100% acceptance rate. They also had a 100% graduation by changing anyone who wouldn't pass to a junior.
Humans are really, really bad at lots of things, but we usually learn ways to compensate, particularly if it's important. Someone like myself who struggles with being late (due to optimism, exactly as you said) absolutely knows that they have this weakness, because it happens constantly and causes all manner of friction and problems. If you don't make any serious attempts to compensate and be better, you're just demonstrating that you don't care that much.

Or maybe I'm just getting old and cranky.
I'm self-employed and I have a rented desk at the local WeWork coworking space. I go there when I feel like getting out of the house to get some work done.

Using the coworking space is a surprisingly good way to meet people. Obviously the guy locked in an office, headphones on, hammering out code should be left alone -- but there will be many people sitting in the common areas, chatting with their buddies. They might be drinking the free beer on tap. They probably have a startup, open source project, etc. that they're passionate about and would be happy to tell you about.

My car does this too. No previous car I've owned has had the same issue. Hopefully it isn't inherent to modern automobile aerodynamics because I'd like my next car to be one without it.
Why do you feel that way?
Exactly this. The tough part about making friends in your 30s and above is that many people don't have the time to spend together to truly grow a friendship. It's tough to hang out with a potential new friend at least once per week unless you live in a dense area or city. At least that's been my experience.

It's also why quite a lot of my close friends are ~10 years younger than me—I move a lot and each new city I hit I have to make new friends. Many times that means people in their 20s that can spend leisure time like that. Probably not the best for my renal system though.
