I wasn't trying to argue against. Just trying to understand better.

1. Yes, Somalis in Sweden have very low D. That is quite obvious [from Table 1] after winter.

2. Yes, Somali children born in Sweden have higher rate (according to this study: 17 in 2437 [0.7%] for Somali background, 484 in 250565 [0.19%] for non-Somali): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-8749.2008....

However we should also consider the effect of other compounding factors about parents coming from Somali.

"Results lend support to previous studies that found higher rates of ASD intellectual disability in children of immigrants from low human resource index countries compared to other groups."

coming from Somali also means coming from a low human resource index country. all kinds of air/water pollutants and chemicals/pesticides might be at play -together with- vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D effect itself is hard to isolate from just this. Further studies need additional data about these other factors (air pollution, exposed chemicals etc)
Thank you both for the recommendation - Hyperion's now queued up on my ebook. Sounds like the first pair of novels are more highly regarded than the second pair?
Yep. And some implementations -- like the Rockwell 65C02, or the later WDC 65C816 -- added new instructions using the previously undefined opcodes, so it wasn't even safe to assume they were all no-ops.
Building a Mobile App in 10 Days with React Native
Out of curiosity, can I ask which ADD meds you use? I find Dexedrine incredibly useful, and I expected it to lower hunger as a side effect, but didn't really find it did anything in that regard.
This used to be a thing! I remember the first time I installed Debian (back in the 2.0 days, I think) and it came with the "HOWTO" packages, which were essentially precursors to the semi free-format Arch wiki. That's how I learned how to configure kernel modules, what the difference between installing Linux using UMSDOS vs. a real partition, and even how ReiserFS worked.

I really feel like easy internet access has taken good documentation away from us. It's too easy to Google for something, find some crappy blog with barely enough instructions to fix the problem. We've become reactive, rather than pro-actively educating ourselves.

In video game fashion, clicking should fast-forward the current screen, then skip to next on second click.
For games, don't forget downloading the game. More and more, people are buying their games online for download instead of getting then on DVD or Blu-ray.

Some games are over 50 GB nowadays. That would be something like a 12 hour download on 10 mbps.

Rationally, that shouldn't be a problem, for a couple of reasons.

First, downloading a game should be a relatively rare event, because between game downloads you presumably are playing the games which should take a lot longer than downloading the games.

Second, even 12 hours to download a game is a lot quicker than buying it on DVD or Blu-Ray online and having it shipped to you. It's quite a bit slower than buying it in person at a local store (travel time plus an hour or so to copy from the discs to your computer depending on the speed of your disc drive), but buying in store has its own annoyances (especially if it is a hot new release that is hard to find in stock).

But people aren't rational. They don't see waiting 12 hours to start playing the hot new game they just bought and happily think "Wow...this is way better than how it worked before I got this 10 mbps internet connection!".

They see a 12 hour wait to get their game and think that their internet sucks.
KeepassXC has a browser integration, so it integrates with Firefox, but not with Firefox Sync which only cares about the stuff it stores itself.

Well currently the attacks work 100% of the time.
Can you point me to where Scylla claims to be ACID or linearizable? As far as I know there is no Paxos implementation yet, not that Cassandra's LWT implementation is anything to write home about.
Well, he's not incorrect. This is why gerrymandering exists. And while it's certainly shitty, this is what we should expect everyone in power to do at all times. This is why federating power into the hands of a single office (or small group of career political specialists, or wealthy oligarchs, or...) is such a blunder. Pretty much the only constant in all of history is that human beings seek to consolidate and protect their power. Nobody should be surprised. But not only should nobody be surprised, everyone should always expect that people will be trying to do this kind of thing, and act (and vote) accordingly.
I don't think employer overheads matter for the question at hand, because it is effectively employees who pay employer overheads through reduced salaries. After all, an employee's work has to pay for itself after deducting all directly related cost, regardless of who makes the actual payment to HMRC. Obviously the rate you charge would not stay the same if your effective tax rate goes up, but that's beside the point as it affects your competitors equally (at least British ones).

>You don't get a dividend for being an employee, you get a dividend for owning a business, as compensation for investing so that that business can exist. The two are not equivalent in any meaningful way.

The two are very much equivalent for a large number of small businesses, such as software development and consulting services (not just single person companies). Investment is negligible and the only thing you own is your own reputation.

But I get your point that the distinction does matter for other types of businesses, and I agree that the dividend tax increase makes investing in (or starting) these types of businesses less attractive. I'm not too happy about it myself to be honest.

Apparently my memory is bad - it was treated with oral ivermectin, to kill dermodex (which are the mites).

The eye doctor, who has a journal article somewhere about this, is Dr. James McMillan, of Medina Eye (in Bellevue, WA). Expensive ($400 for a visit), but great care.
No, one person needing support at 2.5-5× the recommended upper limit and another person experiencing problems at half the low end of that range doesn't shown that the recommended level is about right.
Impressive. The job well done. Since today, Tiny Player will be my player of choice on Mac.

One suggestion though: currently it shows "FLAC" in status bar when I play a FLAC file. But what I really want to see is something like "FLAC 24 bit 96 kHz".
This certainly is a usability issue with security implications. But it's salted, so if can have 60-96 bits of entropy in your master password - that should be maintained - and a reasonable level of security maintained.

There's a reason the master password was removed for a while while rolling out the new synchronisation infrastructure; the assumption is that the data is protected by the key stored and generated locally - and that that key is protected by full disk encryption.

If you can read the key, it is assumed you already can read everything the key protects.

I do agree with the poster that this isn't always a great set of assumptions.

But still; one strong master passphrase generated through diceware or similar will allow you to use the password manager; and then you can use secure, high entropy "pass keys" for everything else (random passwords with ~128 bit entropy).
May I ask, have you tried partly filling the shop vac’s collection bucket with the hot dish soap solution? Assuming wet/dry vacuum of course.
Killing the demodex both helps with dry eyes apparently, and is supposed to reduce infection on eyelid margin (which I'd had a few times).
As someone who also has ADHD, I too have to remind myself to eat because stimulants supress my appetite.

I have read that people who have damage to their ventromedial prefrontal cortex can have greatly reduced ability to experience emotions but otherwise have normal cognitive functions. This can be incredibly debilitating because these people end up having to rely on “rational” thinking only and can take incredible amounts of time to make what seems to be a simple decision.

I wonder how much of hunger is an emotion, but regardless, having surprised hunger can be incredibly draining mentally because you are manually micromanaging something that should be handled “automatically.”

A facile assessment. We all have our demons, over-achiever or not.
I get more irritable when sleep deprived. Anyone else have the same thing?

I don't think purposely incurring sleep debt is for me. Maybe others handle it better.
I know how Palantir works under the hood because I was in the infantry and conducted many missions using information "curated" by various intelligence organizations and Palantir. Very easy to tell we were looking at intelligence products generated by Palantir because the company is (was?) fond of putting its logo all over the stuff it makes. What Palantir does is completely off-the-shelf kind of stuff that Google and Facebook do all day. Except that Palantir gets to feed classified metadata into its software to generate its graphs. It was impressive a decade ago. Today it's nothing that any HNer taking CS classes at university couldn't do over spring break. Don't get me wrong, it's still very useful, crucial stuff for battlefield intelligence. But there is absolutely no magic happening behind the curtain.

Incidentally, I would like to take this opportunity to state in no uncertain terms that this is an extremely dangerous thing for domestic law enforcement to be using against American citizens. Or anyone anywhere that we aren't trying to kill. We should be fighting tooth and nail against companies with access to mountains of metadata like Facebook and Google. I deployed before the widespread use of this kind of analytics, and I deployed after it became ubiquitous. It is the single most powerful force multiplier I can think of, right up there with nuclear weapons. And it will be abused.
I'd prefer a reliable 1Mbit link (or even slower) instead of the whims of 3G/LTE/4G any day.

I'm a bit far from the nearest tower. On a lucky day I can get 3-4Mbps down with 100-200ms round trips, low packet loss.

Unlucky days: complete link drops, timeouts, crawling speeds at few kb/s at most.
I’m sure my napkin math is off, but:

1. A 16-character password has 128 bits.

2. A 128-bit password takes 2^128 guesses.

3. The GTX 1080Ti does 8.5 billion guesses per second.

4. WolframAlpha tells me that $ \frac{2^128}{8.5 \cdot 10^9} $ seconds are $ 1.269 \cdot 10^21 $ years.

So, am I wrong, or did Palant, when he said passwords would take seconds to crack, assume passwords would be significantly shorter?

EDIT: Assuming a 16-bit all ascii lower case password, it’d still be 80 bits, which, given assumption 3, would still result in 4.51 million years, according to WolframAlpha.
A hypothesis which permits compatibility with any reality it is of limited practical value.

If it's ultimately not falsifiable, it's not science.

I'll explain. OP has a problem where they see the members of the US military as virtuous because they "help" some people. But, militaries kill people which is the worst thing you can do to a person. OP has been radicalized by an ideology that the US military was a good influence in Iraq, but the opposite is true. The US military was very bad for Iraq. They directly and indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of people. This is a big fuck up. When people fuck up, they should apologize or be very quiet. OP is doing the opposite. OP is proud of the US military fucking up Iraq. OP is even claiming that Iraq did not get fucked up, but that it was helped. This is obviously impossible because being killed is not good for you.
Show HN: Control IKEA Lights Using Google Home and IFTTT
i thought everyone knew that every browser saving password was completely insecure and only good for throw away accounts (e.g. hackernews :)

I honestly assumed the warning dialog i saw all those years was to tell me that, not that i needed to set a make believe password. that's is the only bad part, the make believe part. the suggestion on the article of using a slighter less-easy to crack schema for the make believe part is equally bad.

Edit: apparently Chrome's head of security also used to think so, and even called people that thought what the article suggest a "novice" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6166886 seems that somebody lost a political battle at some point.
Cause they don’t. Every service puts stuff wherever it wants, especially poorly written services. At least with systemd services do the right thing, by default.

At some point Unix will learn that in the wild opt-out is better than opt-in. When you make doing the right thing easy, everyone will do it. When you don’t, everyone does what they want, which is generally bad.

The fact that we have to ag or grep -R is a kludge. There’s NO technical reason the folder structure shouldn’t be flexible but standardized and also NO reason why there shouldn’t be some system scaffolding to help with that. Call it systemd or whateverd, it should be there.
Nobody ever said, "a picture is always worth a thousand words" !

In the case of the behavior of physical objects, though, if you tried to use words to describe complex motions, the reader would probably get lost. (And in this case, you'd lose the 'tension' of watching the race.)

For the same reasons, rock videos of people just playing instruments are rare.
It would be awesome if the community could contribute ideas!
Or perhaps a borax/water solution.
No racist would be I hate my current co-workers because of their race/culture. But that's not the case I really enjoy working with them because of their different culture vs. a culture where everyone is desperately trying to fit in, be liked and outshine each other.

So I am racist for sure against terrible, high school and unnecessarily stressful work environments like what were reading how Google is.
This is a bit much. You can expect that politicians will take political considerations into account most of the time (since that's how they got where they are), but they do occasionally make unpopular decisions because they think it's the right thing to do. There are times when it's worth it to cash in your chips.

Is this the new fork? I thought it doesn't get updated and I think last time it crashed on me or did something weird, so I stopped caring about it.

But this fork seems really good, too. Thanks, let me use both and see what I like more.
What's the difference between a "Proposal and Capture" and a "Proposal and Capture Strategist"? What the heck is a "Forward Deployed Security Engineer"? Are these 20-somethings wearing camo, with an AR in one hand and a laptop in the other? This would honestly be pathetic if Peter Thiel weren't making enough money to build his own island. I haven't heard if he's in the Mars Rocket Club yet.
Coffee script isn't outdated. v2.2 was released just last month. It still ships as the default on rails as well.
I read that people get 10,000 - 20,000 IU from 30 minutes in sun. With that, wouldn't that make the upper limit dangerously low?
Most big consulting firms are extremely inefficient. They succeed purely because they have a monopoly on large corporate and government contracts.

These companies are not focused on delivering value. The real purpose of these companies is merely to be an excuse so that executives can keep filling each others' pockets without attracting scrutiny.
I didn't downvote but I'll try to explain.

Is the fact that you got the idea exactly backwards:
is not about putting comments on your scripts.
Is about writing an article, intended to be read by humans, that is also executable.

Imagine it this way:
Suppose you are reading a blog post on how to install, configure vagrant and install drupal on it.
The article is pretty clear an well written and you enjoy it. And you also know that is correct because every single one of the instructions shown was executed while you were reading the article and every output was given back to you.

That is literate programming, is closer to a jupyter notebook than to 'comments on scripts'.
Machine learning does include neural networks of all depths.
I think you're being slightly unfair. Of course it doesn't compare to full Emacs Org. Nothing does. But if you (like me) keep your life in Org and would forget to eat without it but sometimes have only your Android device, Orgzly has picked a highly efficient 1% subset. The dev is responsive and moves very fast too -- if you tried it more than a few months ago, you should give it another try.

I would not be where I am without Orgzly. Yes, I wish it was more complete. But given the very limited manpower behind it, it is excellent.

It's also better than any other similar app I've tried, even non-Org ones. So it's the best note-taking/todo/planner app for Android, and then the fact that it uses Org files behind the scenes is just a great bonus.
Lesbians who tech, seriously? After all those decades of teaching people to be accepting of those who don't follow a path identical to their own finally started to pay off. Identity politics is anathema to acceptance, to integration, it will only lead to the balkanisation of society and the eventual need to restart the whole process of teaching people to be accepting of others, no matter which identity group they are or claim to be part of.
That would be true if the password were 16 random ascii characters. But of course it's not. It's almost certainly only using printable characters, and probably has something a lot like words in it.
How did we both do this at exactly the same minute? You botched up something with the encoding though.
well, using the current fad terminology: it is because every tab is a Native App. (i.e. an electron app -- i.e. a web page)
(And we had the "yeah, but by changing two variables at once (vit D and ivermectin) it means we'll never know which helped, but since the ivermectin is one-time and the vit D has other benefits, who cares?" discussion in the office, for about 30 seconds.)

There’s a long running ticket to do this on OS X which started out as NIH/apathy but gained a good reason not to as Apple restricted iCloud password support to App Store applications.

I don’t think this is true for Safari, where the passwords are backed by OS X Keychain.
One place you can start that is not so far away is making a transition from code to the product. The good news is you don’t really need anyone’s permission to do this since you are close to the product already.

A lot of developers focus on the “what” and “how” because that is the bulk of their job. Start looking at the “why”. Start asking questions when you don’t understand the “why” - being careful to present yourself as curious rather than sceptical. Try to understand the motivations behind decisions, and the trade offs that are often required.

As you become a master of the product - again not just what you’re building but why - you’ll likely find yourself with opportunities to contribute much more in the business side.
I'm eager for info too. But while we're waiting, I have a genuine, not snarky, question too: does this ever actually negatively impact people's use of their computer? I can't recall ever feeling like my browser having lots of tabs open has changed the experience. RAM and resource usage hasn't been on my mind in years.
This is an electron wrapper around the website.

The website claims that it's more efficient than running Google Music in a Chrome tab, but I'm pretty dubious; it's running an entire browser runtime!
maybe i am wrong, but i think you did not read the full article?

"This article estimates that the average password is merely 40 bits strong, and that estimate is already higher than some of the others. In order to guess a 40 bit password you will need to test 2^39 guesses on average. If you do the math, cracking a password will take merely a minute on average then. Sure, you could choose a stronger password. But finding a considerably stronger password that you can still remember will be awfully hard."
This is how limited liability corporations work. They have been around since 1811 and used/abused by everyone in business. Maybe there should be some better regulation or limitations on this form of organizing groups of people but what Trump has done is not unusual for someone with his amount of assets. Trump is par for the course.

Looking in more detail, it seems his companies have gone bankrupt 6 times[1] but he currently controls more than 500 companies[2] (Which is a bit strange. I would think he should have a lot more bankrupt companies if he is controlling 500 at the moment.) Maybe he is a better than average business man after all.

Well this is an aggregate opinion based on the last three places I've worked, mixed with a lot of conversations with peers at other places. It's certainly possible that I've just been unlucky and my colleagues have also been unlucky, but I would also point out that I've seen pretty much zero in the way of objective proof that agile actually improves anything, and a lot of subjective experience that agile doesn't actually benefit engineers. Frankly, I think it's up to the agile proponents to objectively demonstrate why this is better -- but 99% what I see is vague promises mixed with attempts at shaming people for "doing it wrong" when people say it doesn't work. (Not to mention the whole "waterfall" boogie man. As far as I can tell in the agilista world-view if you're not doing agile, you're 1970s IBM and you wear a blue suit to work every day)

Anecdotally, the last place I worked, I was on a small team that didn't really do agile. This was composed of some of the most competent, extremely smart people I've ever worked with that had decades of experience in the CAD field and had worked together for a very long time. We're talking people with like dual PhDs from very respected universities that have been working in the field for like 20 years; kept very sharp by going to C++ conferences, were very particular about testing and code reviews, and so on. I remember the corporate office tried to impose agile on these people, and after humoring it for about a month the whole thing was mercifully abandoned because everyone felt like it was ridiculous and it was slowing things down and causing a bunch of friction when some ridiculous consultant wanted us to do "planning poker". The only people that really wanted it in the first place were essentially remote project managers that were annoyed with these uppity engineers that thought they knew better (which frankly: they did; 20 years writing CAD software and you're going to learn a thing or two, whereas the project managers were pretty much just dabblers -- and when they couldn't convince people to do what they wanted by merits of their argument, they just wanted to install "process" to essentially strong-arm people into doing their will)
