That's really odd, haven't heard of that happening before. What software version is your iPhone? Does it let you download it to your phone at all? Or is the button not letting you download?
Sorry about this!
The reality of cryonics is a little bit more nuanced than I originally thought. Here's a really good read which changed my mind and puts more color to what Nectome is trying to do - https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html
Didn't miss it, just don't think they're equivalent. I appreciate functional programming and block diagrams/black box design are great tools for that space. However they don't capture the nuance of circuit design that goes into FPGA development.

You can't capture pipeline depth, SRAM usage, thermal envelope/clock gating that have significant real world impacts on your design.
Basically conservative group made a fake company so they could record former employees (and break the law by not informing them) talking Ng about their old jobs.

They send took them to bars specifically to get around the law that says you can’t record someone without consent.

And apparently also made fake romantic interests to get them on dates in public places so again they could record them.

They did this to “prove” that Twitter is targeting conservatives for silencing. Rather than asking “why does being conservative require attacking minorities?”
What if you put the oven within a gyroscope? Seems like a solvable problem.
So long as when picking the best the ability to preserve the history for future contributors, when switching again is considered, then that’s reasonable. But these tools have a tendency to make that very hard for obvious reasons.

If a "text-only" website is on HTTP it can be MITM'ed and used to serve up malicious JS.
If this "method" makes it possible to live "a healthy life without food" and is, according to you "the ultimate life & health hack"...

Ask HN: Inline Styles or CSS-In-JS with React
I've been writing using React for a little over three years now and I'm currently using a combination of JSS (cssinjs) and inline styles.

Recently my colleague has voiced a preference for using solely Inline Styles and it makes sense to follow a common pattern but I'm hesitant as I've found the lack of cascading and pseudo elements with inline styles to be difficult in the past.

I also find using CSS classes produces cleaner render functions but I'm not sure that's a worthy argument either.

Would love to hear what the general consensus is here
For some context in case anyone was curious: according to old news articles, the average weekday ridership in 1989 was ~3.7 million rides per day. It is ~5.7 million rides per day now. Ridership in the past few decades has increased faster than the population. One factor cited in some analyses of this phenomenon is the significant decrease in the crime rate relative to the 1980s and 1990s, but that is likely not the only contributor.
Does it really make sense to partition the spectrum? It feels more reasonable to replace these exact partitions with something like 'prototypes'.

The partitions would make sense if each partition corresponded to a specific physical 'defect'. Such that it actually makes sense to treat everyone in that partition the same.
This is why we distinguish diabetes Type 1 from diabetes type 2. This is why we distinguish between the flu and tuberculosis.

But if autism is indeed a spectrum, and people are spread quite evenly over the spectrum, the partitioning stops making sense. Quite dangerously, it suggests that all people in that partition have 'the same problem', thus research and treatment would treat that partition as the same. If this is not the underlying reality this really hinders effective treatment.

Consider how effective general medicine would be if we considered fever to be a spectrum, and treated based on what interval someones temperature fell in. That would be a disaster. Expanding such a system by including more variables (how sweaty is the patient, do they shiver) or by controlling for more confounding variables (compensating for the circadian rhythm) does not help either.
But then we won't be able to experience the taste and chewing.
Yup. Guilty people tend to not admit to their crimes.

Go to the forums of any major online game such as League of Legends or World of Warcraft and you'll semi-frequently find posts from players complaining about being banned for no reason at all until a moderator or CS rep finally has to step in and say "Actually, here's exactly what you did to get banned" and it's always a legitimate reason.
>Questioning long established science is anything but heresy

By "questioning" do you mean claiming you are certain that established beliefs are wrong? In that case, you should first very carefully study the reasoning behind those beliefs.

Or do you mean saying "that seems to me wrong, but this is something I have not studied, so explain the reasoning to me"
I like Discord and use it to talk to friends while playing games, but I would be hesitant to use to use it for any big project. Unlike Slack which has a viable business model, I have to wonder what will happen when discord consumes their runway and has to start making money. A company can't live of VC funds forever. Accessibility and whatnot is obviously important, but after being 'kicked' of Slack I would be hesitant to switch to another propitiatory platform.
The thing that most annoys me about Discord, and i confess that this is utterly pathetic, is that i can never remember which one is Discord, and which one is Discourse.

So, for my own benefit:

Discourse is the open source born-again web forum software from the people behind Stack Overflow: https://github.com/discourse/discourse

Discord is a proprietary Slack clone whose main attactions are bundled TeamSpeak and a dark theme: https://discordapp.com/
As a researcher and developer in the audio field, it's disheartening that the only things to get crossover attention is stuff from google with some buzzwords attached. There is so much amazing stuff being done, but it's hard to summarize for the mainstream audience I guess.

Meanwhile, this thing sounds horrible (sorry), and as I understand it, it's more like a fancy lookup table than anything resembling AI. (I think they needed to precompute parts of the model to make it run in realtime). Looking at the source code, there's nothing particularly impressive in there. But the part about open source hardware is a nice touch though.

I notice that Spotify on iOS is much quieter than Apple Music. Perhaps codec related too?
It's not going to compete with an air ambulance because it doesn't have the carrying capacity. In the long term it might have favourable economics and possibly even safety vs the Robinson R22, a helicopter which has sold a few thousand units. But yeah, I think there are more cases for it as an alternative low-end short range helicopter sometimes deployed as a taxi than as an Uber alternative
Amazon Prime Music is pretty good too, and is free with Prime membership, which is 3/4 the price you pay for Apple Music alone. I also liked Wynk app in India.

The only reason I'm not jumping ship to Amazon's offering is Apple's tight integration with my watch and Apple TV. This will only get stronger with HomePod.
Thanks! This looks awesome. Can i automate it as well?

I have been toying a little with wildcard using certbot on my Ubuntu OpenVPN appliance, but was a bit unsuccessful at the moment.

Maybe i should just try and build a very tiny virtual sever that does nothing but spit out a wildcard domain certificate to some predefined destinations to have it used in anything that wants a certificate. Could be beneficial to a (large) infrastructure to have an always-ready certificate to use for free. Dunno if EV validation will uphold though.

How exactly? the only producer of Cobalt in North America on a large scale is Canada and it doesn't look like even if Tesla reserves Canada's entire production of Cobalt that it would be enough.

https://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/cobalt/mcs...

Edit: It could be enough for the time being as Tesla seem to still source a lot (likely most) of it's batteries from the global supply chain and not making everything in house, but if the Gigafactory goes full steam and Tesla does start producing even low to mid double digit percentage of the cells they predict they'll need for both EV and their energy storage (SolarCity) I think Elon might need to buy whatever Blackwater is calling themselves today and invade the DRP.
Pwn2own, iOS jailbreaking, and Playstation hacking have shown time and time again that chaining up seemingly innocuous exploits to get to the stage where you can run a "minor exploit which requires ultra-privileged access" is definitely within the reach of bored/smart teenagers with no more motivation than a new laptop or gaining the ability to pirate or cheat at games...

Suggesting this is "just hypothetical" because "nobody is going to get physical access or code execution in a signed driver" is pretty shortsighted in my opinion...
You can build your application in a way that doesn't depend on platform-specific features. In fact most of the frameworks are setup in a generic way. There is a download button, you can click that, get a zip file and you should be able to run it locally.

For the setups that are using platform-specific features we'd like to also minimize the fear of lock-in by open sourcing our development images and the repl protocol.
> Even niche interest groups in the bay area are dominated by people who work in tech.

I don't think this is true. In San Francisco 12% of the population is tech workers, while the valley is closer to just 30%. I live in Oakland and outside of work encounter almost no one that works in tech.
So I've heard this argument countless times, and it completely makes sense from a theoretical perspective. Yes, it's very possible for MitM to happen, and that would cause one of the two scenarios you described.

But how likely is it to actually happen? For the former, someone would need to target both you and specifically the person who you think will view your resume, and that's, let's be honest, completely unlikely for most people. The second case I can see happening more in theory as it's less discriminating, but does it actually happen often enough in real life to the point where it's a real concern?

FWIW, I have HTTPS on all my websites (because, as everyone mentioned already, it's dead simple to add) including personal and internal, but I still question the probability of an attack on any of them actually happening.

Ask HN: What are the expectations of a CTO at a small startup?
I’m currently a co-founder and CTO at a small startup of only 3 people. The 3 titles we have are CTO, CEO, and CPO. One of the things that has recently come up are what kind of expectations are warranted for a person with the CTO title? I have a general idea in a larger corporation but what would you expect of a CTO at a very early stage (3 people) vs 10 people?
>Hutton's ideas are speculation

No, they are not. They produced empirical predictions that could be tested. That is how science in general works. In fact, that is how you and everyone else operates in ordinary life.

And let me ask you, what about belief in a particular religion, is that provable?
That's not really a rebuttal of my point.

I have a serious medical condition. I frequently suffer somatopsychic side effects. It's incredible what chemistry can make you feel.

I happen to also believe in a lot of woo stuff. But the reality is that no known cause is not proof that there is a spiritual explanation or cause.
Here is another "simple" explanation:

https://rweba.livejournal.com/446326.html

It's definitely WAAAY oversimplified, but it gives the first idea:

The "filter" just cleverly averages the noisy real data at time T with the Kalman estimate from time (T-1).
That problem could be solved with some stabilization techniques, like that "smart" spoon for parkinson works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNwfXeLlqsU)
Neat idea, but I don't think they will be needed since there will already be fleets of delivery drones.

Such nonsense. What would Vox know about rural America?

Rural Americans are mad about being called 'flyover states', about being called racists (really for voting against Democrats) and for being portrayed as backwards.

Rural Americans are great people, the same as urban Americans. If you can't see the good in other people, the problem isn't with them.
Well, this could be interesting. AMD is a US listed security. If true, these two lads could very look forward to a visit from the US SEC. Seeing as how market manipulation is not a capital-crime, I don't see Australia objecting to an extradition, should charges be warranted.

What about multiple personality disorder? Are there 2 of you time-sharing a body?

I don't see how you can distinguish "different brain-states that are still me", and "different brain-states that are not me" other than by looking at the data in these brain-states. If the data is the same - what makes it ok to say "these 2 brainstates are the same person, and these 2 are not"?

> We don't say people become no one, or someone else when they sleep.

We say a lot of things that are wrong or simplified, it's not an argument anymore than the word "sunrise" is an argument for geocentrism.

> I don't categorically dismiss the idea that there exists an "I" outside of my natural body.

I agree that existence of souls would change things, but it's untestable and unnessesary to explain all phenomena we experience, so I consider it a waste of time to discuss these.
That doesn't actually solve the issue many times.

Some stores simply require an ID for any and all refunds. The reason for this is fraud, actually: I worked at a retail pharmacy in the US, and we had a group of people that would look through the trash to find cash receipts. They would proceed to another store to steal the merchandise, and then to a third store to refund the item.

Nearly all stores require ID if you do not have a receipt and enter it in their system. It might not be your card, but it'll be tied to your name and ID.
Sidenote: from a charity/financial perspective it is advantageous to group different conditions under one name. Look at cancer research, which receives the most funding of all diseases, but which can really be divided into many (200+) different fundamental types.
And that is something that should be considered antitrust.

I was accidentally one of them by my carrier including it in my phone plan 'for free for 6 months', when it started billing I cancelled it immediately. I also did not use it even once.

Everybody releasing chips releases buggy chips. It's the current reality of both hardware and software. Unless they do it maliciously, they're not dicks.

One thing that confuses me about securities is how vague the description is. Why isn't a concert ticket a security if the majority of purchasers are reselling them?
I agree with your thoughts, and I think you've clarified the problem well here.

I think #1 is likely the most addressable, at least in the short term.

I think the best way to accomplish this is that we need a concise and consistent buzzphrase/meme/hashtag for demonstrating self identification in the group saying: "Our country is illegally torturing people and we need it to stop". Obviously, this string is too long - it should probably be less than 30 characters.

"#BlackLivesMatter" I believe owes much of its success in entering the public zeitgeist to the fact that people can add the hashtag in various contexts to indicate that the issue at hand is relevant to that particular conversation. (Whether BLM has a 'singular' message is debatable - probably more a constellation of related messages). Similar can be said for #MeToo, and to a lesser extent #FakeNews.

Maybe something like #TortureCausesTerrorism: if every social media thread which discussed terrorism had people bringing the conversation back to torture's role in fostering the environment which catalyzed those actions, it could plausibly shift the cultural conversation. While it is great to have people articulate their individual opinions, there is something to be said for making a low-effort buzzphrase someone can easily add to a conversation: fewer people will put the effort in to uniquely articulate their thoughts on a subject than would just quickly reply with a hashtag and some emojis.
Discord is a great tool for gaming communities and other similar groups. If you might otherwise be using group chats on Facebook, or Skype, Twitter, Ventrilo, Mumble, or Teamspeak then sure, switching to Discord is a no-brainer. Do it today; there's a reason so many gaming communities have embraced it so quickly and thoroughly; it's much better than the alternatives.

It's also great for creative writing groups, clubs, hobby groups...great tool for casual organisation of 3-50 people where most of your time is going to be spend casually chatting and linking images and posting jokes. It's also much better for creating ephemeral groups.

But I'm not really sure I think it works for open source projects. "Better than Slack" is setting the bar really low; Slack was a bad solution for this as well. In particular I'm concerned by: 1) Walled garden 2) uncertain corporate future 3) lack of public, searchable logs 4) lack of interoperability and federation 5) lack of deep links into archives 6) barrier to new members.

Reactiflux on Slack was a poor experience; they outgrew Slack and were forced to jump to Discord and...it's still a poor experience. It's like hitting yourself on the hand with a hammer, realising it hurts, so getting a different hammer. This isn't progress. I'm not sure it's worse, so sure, if you're already on Slack and you want more of the same then sure, switch to Discord. But maybe first think about alternatives that aren't "the same thing I already have with a dark theme"?
The 3 Most Important Keys to Successful Blogging (You Will Fail Without This)
Bandcamp vs. Beatport  lossless audio quality?
Hello guys! Quick question here regarding digital lossless audio quality. I'm not an expert in this field so i need your help. I've noticed recently that all of the tracks that i've bought from Beatport have a bit rate of 1411 kbps and some of the tracks tha i've purchased from bandcamp have a bit rate of 1411 kbps and sometimes 2116 kbps (some of them are even the same tracks bought on both platforms and they still have different bitrate). My question is does higher bitrate mean better audio quality in this particular example (so does bandcamp have better quality than beatport?). Moreover i heard someone mention that due to the fact that bandcamp is DRM-free that affects the quality of the tracks in a bad way (drm-free tracks have lesser quality) . Is that even true? Thanks guys. A newbie friend
