This is exactly what I do now minus reading the docs. I never read the original docs for anything except React. I don't know what made me do that but I remember I tried reading it but it was too big & I felt intimidated. Although, the docs nowadays are good enough & not scary like Vue, React, etc...

I guess I should start reading the docs because sometimes the answer I find Googling is already present in the docs :)

It is because these shenanigans are perfectly legitimatized.

I recently read "A Man for All Markets" by Edward O. Thorp and it opened my eyes to the level of corruption practiced by Financial Institutions.

I find India incredibly corrupt but now I think America is not far behind. Only reason financial crimes in America does not come to light is because they are legitimatized by completely twisting the Laws to favor the right set of people.

Case in point is Mr. Trump who has declared bankruptcy multiple times without having any impact on his personal worth. This is just nuts.

Tell HN: Hillhacks 2018 is happening this May in the foothills of the Himalayas
hillhacks brings artists, activists and hackers together in the mountains every year. We camp, host talks and workshops, hike, make things together and overall have a lot of fun for about two weeks.

I first found out about hillhacks in 2014 on HN and I've been a volunteer since. This is the one event I've learned so much from, over the years and have made the most number of long-lasting friends.

There are more details in the CFP for this year on https://hillhacks.in/participate/. Please feel free to ask questions here or via email.

They already have completed VR projects: https://vr.mozilla.org/

Pocket required essentially no work. They bought an existing service and stuck a fancy bookmark for it into Firefox.

And well, I'm mainly just repeating what Mozilla devs have said. They are deeper into the matter than both us, they can better judge just how much work it is. And it's easy to forget just how complex web browsers are. None of the major browsers use a browser engine which's development started in this millenium for exactly this reason.

I'm also not aware of Chrome being less explodable. I'd say, it's more explodable with its malware-filled extension store, default unencrypted sync service and annecdotally a vulnerability like this [1] being left unfixed for years and careless behaviour like this [2].

[2]: https://www.wired.com/story/chrome-yubikey-phishing-webusb/

Firefox used to have a worse security architecture, but it's essentially equivalent now. The only real difference that I'm aware of, is that Firefox by default groups processes for tabs, meaning if a webpage manages to exploit a major vulnerability in Firefox to gain control of the process it's being executed in, then it has access to 1/4 of your tabs and therefore might potentially be able to steal sensitive data, whereas in Chrome it would then also have to exploit a vulnerability in the OS to do that.

That can not be the important aspect, at least not in the general case. Show me only a few good photos of an object I have never seen - and one may be sufficient if the object is different enough from all the things I know - and it will become almost impossible for you to trick me into confusing it with anything else and certainly not be changing a few pixels in validation images. I may make mistakes if the image quality is bad or the lighting or if you show me an object that is at least visually very similar and where I am unaware of the distinguishing features. No where here are other senses than vision involved.

>Yup. It keeps inflation in check, and allows them to buy more stuff with their salary

Cheap labor keeps inflation in check by keeping the salaries low. The upper middle and upper classes reap those benefits, not the people whose salaries were kept low.

Repressing lower-middle class and working class salaries low to keep inflation in check is how you end up with Brexit, Trump, Le Pen, Golden Dawn, etc. This is a global phenomenon.
> Alternative musical structures that are just as valid, yet wildly unfamiliar?

Some music taste is very culture influenced, not questioning that. But I think present some classic music tracks (and I mean not only pieces from Bach & co) to any human kind with any cultural background and it will somehow touch that person.
exactly the same. Just one nights poor sleep and the overcompensation of the mind makes life a living hell. Anxiety, depression and feeling like in a haze is absolute torture.
This is probably one of the most authoritative source on whether Vit D is good for you [1]. I was never much of a believer, but this article prompted me to reinvestigate it, and I'm surprised to see that there is an effect if you're looking at elderly adult population.

Also, as others have mentioned, there is such a thing as too much - taking too much can affect the balance of your other vitamin levels. There was a nice trial on beta-carotene which showed it increasing mortality which was very unexpected, but made sense once people understood the biochemical pathways better.[2]

Roughly 2 years ago I fell into a depression because of debilitating anxiety. The anxiety would keep me awake through the night. Low and behold the whole next day the depression and anxiety would be gone. I wouldn't be overly tired either, so the trade off was fine. This would happen roughly once or twice a week. Always, the next day following a sleepless night I pretty much felt 'normal'.

Eventually I swallowed my pride and went to the doctor and was prescribed an SSRI & NDRI. I was too afraid to take the SSRI(with anxiety can some OCD, I was obsessed for awhile I was becoming schizophrenic) so only took the NDRI(Wellbutrin, generic). Eventually it pulled me out of my depression and I was began sleeping normally again. I weened off the NDRI about 6 months later.

Luckily the depression hasn't came back, in full force. I go through cycles of what I would say "mini-depression" every once awhile, but I am able to push through and conquer. The medicine was a must for me to get through my depression and get back on a normal sleep cycle. I don't miss the sleepless nights at all, but they sure helped me stay somewhat sane during those rough times.

This will vary from state to state, but in MA anyone who holds a class D (i.e. standard consumer vehicle) license is also allowed to ride any moped that's 49cc or below. I think there's now a yearly registration fee[1] that the owner must pay. So, for example, if I have a moped in good standing with the state, anyone with a valid drivers license is allowed to borrow it and legally ride it[2].

=====

[1] I want to say I paid something like ~30 USD, but this was ~10 years ago. Unlike a standard vehicle, however, there is no inspection check pre-requisite for safety nor emissions. I think the fee is purely for tags. Helmets are definitely a requirement though.

[2] AFAIK there are no additional insurance requirements though. There weren't any ~10 year ago when I one, but I can't remember if that's because my comprehensive car insurance did double-duty in the event were I to, say, hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk and they were to sustain damage.
Vim is enough of an IDE for C programming, certainly.

With ctags and GNU id-utils (mkid, lid), you get great code browsing: instantly find where things are defined using tags, and where they are referenced with ID utils.

I map the K command (normally used for man page lookup for the word under the cursor) to do a lid lookup and turn the results into a quicklist. The :grep command is also mapped to lid lookups via grepprg. lid uses a binary database file named ID which is generated using mkid. It instantaneously finds all occurrences of any identifier in a fairly large tree, like the Linux kernel.

There is a code completion plugin for Vim so when you type foo.bar->, you see a popup with a list of structure members and such.

Of course, there is the great syntax highlighting and auto-indentation which catch coding typos as you make them: IDE-like feature.

Vim's :make turns compiler errors into a quickfix list so you can move between them and fix. I map :W so that it saves the buffer and runs :make.
Even if you didn’t actually see it it’s very likely you heard an announcement about it when it happened. Children may actually have been crying in reaction to that.

That's an interesting question. I'm sure it's been considered in science-fiction before. But as I think about I keep thinking about a hollow planet, and then I think about a Dyson sphere. Does that count as a planet?
> it is not even possible to reduce energy consumption to low enough that solar and wind would be sufficient.

Readers should remember that this is due to the needs of industrial, infrastructure, transport and military applications, which dwarf everything else.

Sunburns and risk of cutaneous melanoma, does age matter: a comprehensive meta-analysis

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2873840/

After reviewing over 1300 article titles and evaluating 270 articles in detail, we pooled ORs from 51 independent study populations for “ever” sunburned and risk of cutaneous melanoma. Among these, 26 studies reported results from dose-response analyses. Dose-response analyses were examined using both fixed-effects models and Bayesian random-effects models.

Results:

An increased risk of melanoma was seen with increasing number of sunburns for all time-periods (childhood, adolescence, adulthood and lifetime). In an attempt to understand how risk between life-periods compares, we also report these same linear models on a scale of 5 sunburns per decade for each life-period. The magnitude of risk for 5 sunburns per decade is highest for adult and lifetime sunburns.

Conclusions:

Overall, these results show an increased risk of melanoma with increasing number of sunburns during all life-periods, not just childhood. Prevention efforts should focus on reducing sunburns during all life-periods.
For me, the big shock has always been the extent to which sleep can kill a fantastic streak of productivity. I sometimes have weeks of incredible energy, where I work 12 or even 14 hours every day, and I do my best work, and I have deep insights, and invent new products and new kinds of software. And generally, over the course of a week or two, I become more productive each day. And finally I have a day when I am on fire and I'm writing incredible code and I'm writing some of my most popular essays, the stuff that continues to be read years later. And I go to sleep thinking that tomorrow will be just as good. And I sleep 9 hours. And I wake up and I am a completely different person. My thoughts don't make sense. I'm a bit disoriented. I drink 3 cups of coffee but I still feel groggy. I have no energy. The magic is gone. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of good work done. And the next day is terrible, and the next day is terrible, and the so on. And it is always a shock what a sudden start there is to this prolonged grogginess, and it always seems to start with one night where I sleep a bit too long.
Damn it! That explains there are no action shots or anything...

I hope it exists one day... How would it work?
It isn't just a reluctance to put pressure on the tax havens; the UK government has been actively working to defend them (eg pressuring the EU to keep Bermuda and the Cayman islands off their list of "noncooperative tax jurisdictions").
I refer to USA as that and its people as USAmerican or USian variously. America is a continent and whilst a good deal of North America is USA plenty isn't.

USA is a terrible name, it could equally apply to any country, Canada say, in the American continent formed from multiple states.

It is wrong to call societies only for USAmericans "The American ...". The whole thing supports the idea that the only Americans worth bothering with are USian, it's extremely pompous and self-agrandising.

You should get a proper name.

Perhaps if things work out in Korea they'll call themselves the United States of Asia ...

Re Mexico, there's no continent called Mexico, no ambiguity or appearance of narcissism attaches to not using the full title. It's not at all equivalent.

Maybe you’re mixing up cause and effect. Maybe your “sleep” was collapsing with exhaustion when it all caught up?
My #1 Vim tip:

Use ":set hidden"

(Don't rely on ":help hidden" to actually explain it, though.)

Here is why you want to use it:

You edit "file-a" and make some changes. Then you flip to "file-b" using ":e fileb". Vim says you cannot; you have unsaved changes. Okay, so you ":w" and then flip. But then you return to "filea" and want to undo the earlier changes. Oops: lapsing into a dumb Vi from Unix, Vim says there aren't any changes to be undone.

Vim throws away buffers by default when you switch out of them, unless "set :hidden" is turned on. Then it behaves like any other normal application with multiple buffers. The "filea" buffer will stick around and keep its undo history, marks and other state.

I can't see any comment from you on this story from 10 days ago that was titled:

Not everyone agrees that rising energy needs are a given, or even just a myth that we should be politely accommodating.

It would behoove <sic> you to separate fusion and fission from any call to action to investigation 'nuclear' as they are substantially different in terms of waste and safety.
I cannot help but think that ITER has been a harmful mistake. With at least 17 years to go before it is operational, it already seems obsolescent in some key technological areas, such as magnets, yet it keeps on going, sucking up funds that might be better applied elsewhere (though whether they would be is an open question.) The project reminds me of Britain's attempt to build the airliner of the future in the Bristol Brabazon [1], but which was obsolete by the time it flew. The biggest cost was probably in lost time.

All the noise is just details. The chart is basically three parts:

2: Green is all the pressures and temperatures where water is liquid.

3: Yellowish red is all the pressures and temperatures where water is vapour.

I'm not sure what to make of the points and little lines. They seem to have something to do with the ranges within those ranges where the different kinds of ice occur.

I really enjoy that surreal aspect of sleep deprivation. Everything seems to be a bit different through that lens–almost, but not quite like a fresh perspective. Not quite because it feels like you had it all along. Maybe it’s just elucidation but that doesn’t feel apt either. I don’t know your writing style generally speaking but this comment feels slightly tinged with that surreal feeling (in a positive way).

Of course the major downside is, as you mentioned, a decline in executive function. I find myself trying to filter things I say manually with mixed results. Rambling is definitely magnified.
> Get enough vitamin D… but not too much. ... even as high as 2,000 IUs a day

2,000 IU is not a high level of Vitamin D. That's a medium-to-low level of Vitamin D. 20,000 IU is high.

Most people can very safely take 5,000 IU and won't come even remotely close to seeing negative health consequences. Quite the opposite, studies have suggested you may need that level of VitD intake just to get up to a healthy blood reading, especially if you have low sunlight exposure.

The old RDA guidelines have increasingly been shown to be a scientific embarrassment over the last 20 years.
So I read the article and I don't think it's as bad as you make it. The part that explains his involvement in the investigation is actually backed by a now inaccessible source. It would be crucial to know what the authors linked there before we judge the credibility.

The rest is a matter of opinion. They obviously have no definitive answer, so it's all speculation. Their point is that his personality changed after these trips.

Maybe I would be more inclined to agree with you if I hadn't seen a Channel 4 documentary on Litvinenko [1] where one of the Scotland Yard detectives recounts lots of strange things happening on their separate trip to Moscow: parts of their group fell ill, they thought they were being followed, and they were driven aimlessly around before they could see one of the suspects.
