The proof that moist wounds heal faster than dry wounds came back in 1962, thanks to Dr. George D. Winter and his landmark paper, "Formation Of The Scab And The Rate Of Epithelialization Of Superficial Wounds In The Skin Of The Young Domestic Pig"1. His research showed that, contrary to the conventional wisdom at the time that wounds should be allowed to dry out and form scabs to promote healing, wounds instead heal faster if kept moist. Winter's work began the evolution of modern wound dressings that promote moist wound healing.Specifically, cell growth needs moisture and the main goal of moist wound therapy is to create and maintain these optimal moist conditions. Cells can grow, divide and migrate at an increased rate to enhance the formation of new tissue. During this phase of wound healing, an aqueous medium with several nutrients and vitamins is essential for cell metabolism and growth.

A study published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery aimed to determine the effects of moist wound care. Researchers used a porcine wound model, to compare wet conditions using saline, moist conditions using hydrocolloid dressings and dry conditions using sterile gauze. The scientists found an increase in the presence of liquids led to faster healing (wet wounds healed after six days, while moist ones took seven days and dry wounds took eight). Additionally, moist and wet wound care led to less necrosis and inflammation as well as higher quality in the newly regenerated epidermis.

Definitely. I've found in my personal life that just getting started on something can be the hardest part about any given task (whether something physical, or implementing an idea as code or something like that). But once you get rolling on it, things tend to come along easier.

You might not reach the end, things might fail (sometimes spectacularly), or things will change midstream and you might not end up where you had planned. Regardless, though, the journey can end up being better than the original goal.

...you just have to begin.

This has been the attitude for years in Oregon. It's not just in the cities through new high rise developments; in the rural areas, they buy out the properties for cash -- generally above asking price -- which jacks up the prices out of reach for the locals.

Frankly, it happens everywhere that the cost of living is lower.

Oh yeah, the first time I monkey patched a method, it was an "aha" moment. I really understood the 'self' variable, and class as variable, and python just clicked all of a sudden for me.
I love my TiVo HD 652160! I have five of them (stockpiled) on lifetime subscription with the 2TB hard drive upgrade.

My provider (WideOpenWest) fortunately has dodged the MPEG-4 low bitrate bullet that Comcast fired (which I was I left Comcast) on its subscribers.

I'll keep riding these TiVo's into the sunset, then I'll probably get YouTube TV.
For a network logging system yes. But for a commercial entity on the web: no. Beyond a class 'C' you're not going to get much mileage out of IP addresses, unless you're trying to track people without using cookies and that would be one very good reason why you should not be keeping those IP addresses in the first place.

If you're an ISP that changes, in that case there is a retention requirement. But a regular business in the normal course of performing its expected activities has no business retaining IP addresses longer than necessary. If that to you is unacceptable because you want append-only logs that stretch back years then that's your choice.

But if I had to choose between cutting off roughly half of my turnover because I didn't want to comply with the law or complying with the law and slightly re-arranging my logging then I'd happily pick the latter.

So no need to delete on demand, simply don't store them longer than you feel you need to in order to meet your business goals. 30 days or so should do it. Six months or longer would require a detailed explanation.

And most importantly: disclose what you do. That way your customers can make informed decisions and you won't look bad in the eyes of the law if they decide to decide on whether or not you meant to act in good faith or if you took to interpreting things in the way that suits you best.
Agreed. There's a movie called "Banking on Bitcoin" currently on Netflix that I recently watched, and while it's got plenty of libertarian rhetoric, it showcases well the transition of "Bitcoin's going to fund terrorism" to "Hey, y'know those regulations I wrote to prevent Bitcoin terrorism? I'm the only one that knows them, so hire me for cryptocurrency regulatory guidance".

It'd help fix it, but California's dug itself into such a deep hole that it'll take a while to fix it even with good measures like that one.

"So nice to see progress in privacy but please someone explains how GDPR will help EU startups!"

Why does everything have to help startups?

"GDPR is inevitably going to hinder any new company forced to abide by it."

I disagree. You simply shouldn't be collecting that data in most instances anyway. And if you truly do need it, you should have been asking permission before. Somehow we got it into our heads that it was perfectly acceptable to just take things without asking. I'm fairly certain I learned not to do this in Kindergarten.

"Entrepreneurs / investors also want their time & money to be used to build value first rather than solve yet another accidental complexity that is irrelevant until your revenue model is proven."

The GDPR has no impact on this, unless the only way you can create "value" is by disrespecting your users. You can still build value the old fashioned way, by providing something of use to your users.

Yep. Richard Branson was the winner on this front. $28 million investment (with a few other investors?) at $60 million valuation (in 2015 ?)

> Siminoff says a Ring customer happened to be vacationing at Branson's island a couple of months ago. He used Ring to talk to a UPS delivery guy who was at his home in San Francisco. Branson, who happened to be next to that person, saw the interaction and was immediately hooked by the product.

> In fact, Branson liked it so much that he asked for Siminoff's email address and soon started talking business with Siminoff. He wanted to invest in the product.

> In less than 48 hours, Branson agreed to join the round. And on Wednesday, Ring made it official: a $28 million funding that gives it a $60 million valuation.

No, it was not at all clear and still isn't, even after the comment has been edited.

> The middle class can no longer afford to remain in CA

It seems like the immigration is mostly the middle and upper middle class, as those terms are most often used [0]. The out-migration looks to be mostly below national median income.

[0] which, sure, is the upper income end of the working class and not the petit bourgeoisie, for the most part, but aside from me, no one seems to use “middle class” to mean that in the US.

California is also losing residents by discouraging migration via high taxes. For example, I had two job offers: one in California and one in Washington. Since this was a $200k+ job, that income tax in CA would have cost me $40 grand per year. Suffice it to say I now live in Washington.

Anecdotally at teachable (course creation saas, listed paid plans are 39/mo-299/mo) , we’ve grandfathered people into lower pricing and offered a couple weeks to get in on the lower price when we raised prices, which was a nice forcing function that drove a lot of upgrades.

> The middle class can no longer afford to remain in CA. A combination of egregious housing policies and other anti-bussines/anti-people regulations

To me this doesn't make sense. Middle class can't survive in CA because too many people get paid middle class and up in CA. Is it 'anti-people' to pay teachers 70+k? Or is a state like WV more 'pro-people' where teachers are going on strike because they get no raises. There are a lot of wealthy businesses in CA. You have to be richer than in other places to actually feel rich.

truth is, the problem is too much competition and there always has to be somebody at the bottom. Look at the inflow of people. People with high incomes and advanced degrees.
Yeah, I know, but I have a lot of stuff recorded and don’t want to lose it yet again (as often happens when upgrading between boxes).

But again, I figure that after having to basically re-do everything after a downgrade I’d just be forced back up again.

I've done it for a couple of years and as long as your IPSP cooperates it shouldn't be more than 15 minutes of work per quarter.

That might be true if you're lucky enough to have a single third-party payment service that collects all of your revenues including administering the VAT parts for you. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why that might not be the case or even possible. Even if you do use one of those services, it can't magically cope with all the edge cases any more than you or I can, and of course they tend to take an extra cut out of your revenue.

For everyone who needs to manage their taxes a bit closer to home, it takes longer than your suggested time just to check the rates regularly in case some member state decided to increase them with about a week's notice again. There's not really any good answer to VAT MOSS, there are just more inconvenient and/or expensive and slightly less inconvenient and/or expensive.
There’s really only one AWS product you wouldn’t want to compete with, and that’s EC2 (and possibly S3). Mostly every other AWS product you can build a better or more niche alternative at a higher price point and still get business.
It’s unfair and unrealistic to expect everyone to assimilate, if for no other reason than people bring the entirety of their experiences with them wherever they go. There will always a bit of a Californian in transplants to Texas, just like there will always be a bit of a Texan in transplants to Pennsylvania or Florida or Germany or wherever. I think this adds to the richness of life, but I suppose not everyone feels that way.
> That's not how this works. You're not a "native Texan"

Yes, it is. The fact you don't want to think that policies are restricted to borders, which have a history and effect unique to a locality, is irrelevant.

> There are no second class citizens in the US.

You are now making things up to fit your view of everyone as earthlings (why you stop lumping at the US is odd).

> If you don't like California things, then leave this web site

It's likely hosted at a CDN not in California (but sometimes is).
I'm surprised this isn't covered more, but this talk of boosting 'affordable', actually government subsidized housing as a solution doesn't seem like an actual solution to me either.

how many middle class families are going to register with a government entity, stay under low yearly income limits to 'qualify' for affordable housing? number of kids you have in your family is factored in as well...becoming a metric that factors into your qualification for housing.

seems sort of orwellian to me. we should be creating bills to expedite all housing. not just subsidized housing.

I think jacquesm adequately explained one of the major distinctions: a high tax that's slightly lower than the tax on a competing good does not result in a below-market price. While many of the effects are similar, it is not the same.

That's not what the linked article says. The linked articles says that if you want to feed the grid, you're only going to get wholesale prices, while having to pay retail for the energy you consume from the grid. It's a rule of accounting.

If you don't want to eat the premium, don't feed the grid.
That is, consume your electricity before it ever hits the meter(s). Presumably the real issue is that typical consumer systems aren't designed to function the way you'd want to avoid the TVA accounting rules.

There's nothing wrong per se with an educated, wealthy populace. It's the gentrification process that is problematic.

It forces the poor and marginalized out, which is basically the last thing those populations need.

It's also bad for innovation of all kinds. People who have ideas and are willing to take a chance on executing them are deterred by the threat of being forced out of their communities if they fail. You're already seeing this with the loss of artists and musicians from the bay.

My housemate is a professional artist and straight up can't afford to move within the bay. Our house is being sold, so she's moving to Georgia.

You are correct, there is nothing wrong with what the people in the article are saying. But I think we'd be lying to ourselves if we deny the fact that the reason this article is in discussion here on HN is in large part not because we're up in arms about the lack of scientific rigour about this niche area of knowledge, but because there is a tendency in our community (sometimes denied when explicitly pointed out) to tag things we suspect or would like to be invalid as false (rather than simply inconclusive) when there is no evidence to support it one way or another.

"Every big vendor and platform for 3D games and software, has their own graphics API which work better and faster than [..] Vulkan."

[citation needed]

Not that they have their own API, but that it's at all better or faster than Vulkan. Remember Vulkan primarily came from AMD's Mantle. It's not the creation of a committee catering to the lowest common denominator.

And no, it's not only CAD still stuck on OpenGL. Games use it, too. Most of mobile is also on OpenGL ES. Increasingly more of them use it than they used to, even, as increasingly games are using off-the-shelf engines that are already cross-platform and have an OpenGL back-end.

The single largest consumer OS in the world (Android) only supports OpenGL ES & Vulkan, even, with no proprietary graphics API of any kind.
Bill Gates: Cryptocurrency 'has caused deaths in a fairly direct way'
It's a little more devious than that. The key is that the decorator maintains a stack of call parameters, and a map from parameters to results.

When a recursive call happens, it aborts the top-level call, runs the recursive call directly, memoizes the result, and then re-executes the original call. Hence the warning about this only being usable for pure functions.

EDIT: also I just noticed that the map keys aren't the parameters themselves, but their string representations. So heaven help you if you try this with a data type whose str() method isn't one-to-one.
