It is entirely possible that the base-rate of neurogenesis in adult humans is very low, but in response to new stimuli (a new exercise regimen, for example) responds by generating neurons..Perhaps I am missing the information in one of the supplemental pages, but I do not see info on history of exercise or anti-depressant use in the Nature paper.
In the case of the drug abuser, I'm not sure that incentive to spend appropriately applies. They're a drug addict after all - they really don't have a choice (other than rehab, but that also costs money).

Regardless, I'm much more concerned about the average recipient, who may need more gas than bread some weeks, or some other completely reasonable situation. As noted in a sibling, it's been proven that the poor aren't any worse at budgeting/spending than the not-poor.
The Snake and the Horse: How Wallaroo's Python API Works with Pony
hello! I had the same concern. I saved a PDF of my application just in case. Please let us know if there's anywhere we can confirm receipt of the application :-)
Last time I checked the Payment API it was pretty low level, for example you'd get CC numbers. Processing that would then require PCI-DSS compliance so you'd likely still need a payment processor like Stripe. Payment API just provided a nicer UI for your cards and maybe virtual numbers in case of Google Wallet.

The markup flags up abbreviations. I'm not quite clear on the distinctions between the different tags but it looks like "ex" is for expansions/excluded letters and "sl" is something to do with superscript letters, or thereabouts.

>But fundamentally, there is a mismatch between the narrowness of hierarchies and the rich structure of human knowledge, and the proposed system will not presuppose the features of HFSes.

This hits the nail on the head !

All the fileSystems I had to work with are fine as engineering tools. By that I mean using them as an engineer works just fine, their own implementation is off topic.

As a user though.

What the hell !

I don't want to go to c:/users/me/documents/talks/stockholm2018/draft3

I just want to open my document !

I really hope that someday we expose a document based filesystem to the user.

The underlying implementation does not matter, we can always add a layer on top of the hierarchical file system.

I just want to be able to display :

-all the games installed on my system .

-all the pictures

-all of my text documents .

-all of my pictures of Paris

etc
Pseudonymisation is helping firms comply with GDPR
I only use KDE, so I can't comment on Gnome etc.

Dragging a file into Konsole (KDE's terminal) gives a menu with the options "Copy here", "Link here" and "Paste location". Seems reasonable.

Dragging a hyperlink or image from Chromium gave the same options. "Copy" downloaded the file, although set a timestamp in 2106 for some reason. This doesn't work from Firefox.

Dragging selected text pastes it in.

"see ." opens the current directory in the file browser thing, "see thing.odt" opens LibreOffice, "see my.pdf", etc. "see http://example.org" doesn't work, although I can right-click the link to open it. (Naturally, "alias open=see" if you prefer that word.)

I set a custom shortcut for Konsole for "Super+C" etc (Windows/Cmd key), but I don't use it very often. I mostly select + middle click to paste, which is a Unix convention I miss on a Mac! The readline keys are nice, they seem to work about 80% of the time on a Mac, and I haven't found a way to get that working in Linux.

My "lots of little things" favours KDE. Properly maximizing a window, having a "keep above" button for any window, focus-follows-mouse, and the general feeling that the computer does what I ask in a boring way, not what it thinks I want in a stylish way.
The "short" answer to your question is in the last paragraph of this tired and long post, sorry about that, when I reminisce, I wax.

I went from being an introvert with anxiety so bad I cried in front of everyone when giving an assigned speech to speech class, to an A-type with endless external confidence, marketable public speaking skills, no shame, and almost no inhibition. This change occurred sometime towards the end of highschool (with a fresh dose of "know-it-all-asshole") and matured throughout college. I regularly try to figure out just what the fuck happened. Who is responsible for this shift? I want to condense it so that others like me can change if they want to. Best I can do is point out a couple memories that I think were "turning point."

1. In middle school I was called "gay" all the time because I was quiet. Back then this was an unacceptable insult and socially ruinous for a 13 year old. I somehow made great friends with a guy who once said "Are you actually gay?" I said "no." He said "who fucking cares anyway?"

2. Freshman year I gave a speech and cried at the beginning from nervousness, the teacher quietly put his hand on my shoulder and made me finish the speech, quietly giving me encouragement, telling me I was doing a great job.

3. Sophomore year I was at my friends' place for an all-night LAN WoW binger. His bathroom's lock was broken downstairs so I'd been using the upstairs one. His older brother (A-type sure-of-himself guy that I admire to this day) went to use the bathroom, announcing he "had to take a dump." I said "oh, use the upstairs one, this one's lock is broken." He said "so?" I asked, "what if someone walks in on you?" He said "I'd say, 'get out of here, I'm taking a dump!'"

4. In highschool we read a book about a little girl that died and was allowed by... god or something... to view certain portions of her life again. She noticed that she wasn't "awake" in any of those memories - nobody was expressing their love for eachother, or appreciation of the moment, everyone was "sleepwalking." I'm sorry, I don't remember the title.

So to sum up my absurdly long post, I would say the things that helped me fill in the social gaps are having supportive people in my life that help me put things in perspective, and a very early introduction to the concept of "mindfulness," though I didn't call it by that name back then. Also, an early introduction to my mortality.

So I guess, support your friends, invite them out even if they don't come (they might eventually), and when they do come out, iron out their faults (I would lash out and be an asshole, and my friends would be so so patient with that, showing me "they right way." Think classic neckbeard arrogant ass.)
"most popular mobile wallet"

Citation? PayPal/Venmo seem far, far ahead.
The point is it looks a lot better than several nested function calls, especially when the order of the calls are important.

In JS you can do stuff like this:

const rules = parsedTags
.split(';')
.map(item => item.trim())
.filter(item => !!item);

But in some functional languages you would have to do something like this:

Array.filter(Array.map(String.split(parsedTags, ';'), item => String.trim(item)), item => !!item);

Which makes it a lot more difficult to write/understand. (Note the order in which the functions will be called).

With a pipe operator you can do something like this:

parsedTags
|> Array.split(';')
|> Array.map(item => String.trim(item))
|> Array.filter(item => !!item);

Now that people are writing more functional JS, a pipe operator becomes much more useful since you can't always chain function calls like the JS example above.

I'd love something like this that handled in-app purchased subscriptions. There's a bunch of annoying parts of dealing with the app store SDK's & verifying transactions, handling refunds etc. We have a combination of online credit card purchases and in-app ones, it seems like there's an opening for some tool to handle the in-app part as well.

I might say that anything relating to content would be a prime benefactor of decentralization. If you wish to control your own data be it cat pictures, a video channel, streams, email, website, payment method or whatever then the only sure way to prevent other people's ideas, ideals or ideology from affecting your data is to not cede authority over it to anything or anyone.

For an oversimplified example I could, in theory, be in control of my input on this site with a nifty membership hook for publishing (or revoking) my interactions with it by working in my own "shared" instance of HN using a mutually agreed upon distribution protocol wherein each comment is published and "owned" by the commenter without HN having to pony up the resources to store or display it. Which could possibly include some potential for eliminating "acceptance critereon" altogether. ie. HN would have to ask me directly to manipulate my input for anything other than ranking or basic community acceptance. Wherein, ultimately, HN could pull the plug whenever but my "shared" instance could live on with others' until I, alone, pull my own plug which could even result in "comment deleted" throughout all live instances for all prior comments. And so on.
Tagging is the first step, but how do you know if you don't have overlapping or duplicate tags, say country and folk music?
If you need something that fits both categories, you eventually start designing taxonomies and eventually ontologies, there's just no end to it.
I think tagging is a sensible, lightweight approach, but it has limitations...

It's a joke about feature creep. Of course, most programs don't and shouldn't read mail.

The choice of this particular feature was not accidental. JWZ was a developer of Netscape Mail:

I never personally used it, but I've heard the BeFS was designed to have significant non-hierarchical use cases:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_File_System:

> [BeFS] includes support for extended file attributes (metadata), with indexing and querying characteristics to provide functionality similar to that of a relational database.

IIRC, this was pretty hyped at the time, but they had to back away from it. I don't know if it was because if the concept was too unfamiliar to people familiar with the hierarchical paradigm or if it didn't work as well in practice as it was imagined.

There's also a book about it written by its designer and now freely available: http://www.nobius.org/dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf

Totally guessing but if we're talking about the US, I think the Europeans that have worked in Europe before won't have any qualms taking their 24-30 paid vacation days per year whereas the Americans might be inclined to stick to what they know and take their 2 weeks. All based on hearsay, so this might as well totally be wrong :)

My point of reference is when I had my first job with "we don't count your hours, you just need to do your job" I still kept mental tabs on my hours and it took years until I really didn't care anymore and just eyeballed it. (How can you even tell when "your" work is done? Especially if you work in sprints or with a kanban board)

Not that I've ever experienced.

The provider may block it, but IME that's as easy as sending them an email to open the port (which I would consider under the umbrella of "decent internet").

I can't say I've ever had my IP blacklisted that I know of, and I've never had delivery problems.
Thank you! I've not heard of this.
> If they claim to have direct communication with the creator of the universe, like all christian communities do, they should have at least a minimum standard of congruence.

Well (1) all Christian communities do not claim that all Christian communities have direct communication of that kind (in fact, Christian communities often claim that other such communities are deficient, and perhaps willfully so, in there regard), and (2) I don't even think all Christian communities claim that even they themwelves have communication of the kind that would support any conclusion much stronger than that that community’s authoritative teachings are free from error (certainly not that any subject of a specified degree of material impact should be addressed.)

Right. As a different Krebs article noted in another comment says, Chip + PIN mostly protects against lost/stolen cards used at a POS terminal. And that's not a particularly big fraud problem in the US.
I work in Family Law and these type of statements can be said about any group: wealthy, middle class, poor.

Middle class: "That people who work all the time and never spend time with their kids are allowed to have children will always blow my mind. What is the point of having a child if you never see them."

Rich: "That people who will rob their kids of their self reliance, by buying them everything they want, are allowed to have children will always blow my mind. What is the point of having child if they just end up leeching on their parents."

I mean we can come with all sorts of irrational and judgmental comments.
Take a moment, lay back, look up at the stars and imagine all the ways it could go wrong if agencies could decrypt everything. The possibilities are endless...

1) External - The NSA so grandly showed that even the most important secrets kept by the most guarded and well-funded agency can be stolen. Imagine if Russian or Chinese hackers gain control of it...

2) Internal - Is there a government agency that hasn't had a bribery scandal?

3) Government overreach - Imagine these tools are in place and a president decides to target adversaries...

4) Petty - You're break up with a police-person goes poorly and they decide to get even...
Are ATMs not used much in the US? In Europe the same PIN is used for ATMs and Chip & PIN transactions, so you don't need to remember another code.

~1/3rd rate. I could be wildly off. I can't remember my sources. I just remember that figure for some reason.
I still don’t understand why we bother with signature at all though. Nobody checks it. Why not just “chip” if “chip+pin” doesn’t add anything?

Assuming a sufficiently friendly state apparatus that enforces the ordinary claims of ownership. If that goes away, or is turned against you, it's not yours anymore. With stuff like real estate, you can't exactly smuggle it out of the country.

(This is what the Global Magnitsky Act and international equivalents are meant to do- having your personal assets frozen by the US or UK government suddenly makes your frozen assets somewhat less valuable to you...)
Nice example. Do you have a screenshot of what the facebook feed of those prospects would look like (with ads) ?

A lot of righteous, eloquent fury here. I had nearly forgotten about the foxconn suicides, and now that I think about it I don't remember anything really happening except nets being put up.

Louis CK (RIP our opinion of him, but still) put it pretty well once, something along the lines of "slavery built everything we love. We just throw human death and suffering at a thing until it's done. There's no end to what you can do when you don't give a fuck about a certain group of people. You can have candles and horses and be a little kinder to eachother, or you can leverage the endless suffering of someone really far away so you can leave a mean comment on someone's youtube video while you take a shit."

Can we move away from video games ? I know games provide a closed loop for these kind of experiments/contests, but I want to see more practical application of RL. How about code generation that create programs based on the test cases or RL agent that can use a 3d design software.
His reasons for doing that aren't related to security, but rather wanting Free Software purity.

Also I don't think his PC is "offline," but rather he does weird things like reading web pages via a script that scrapes the text and emails it to him.
That hatred and division was there long before the British- indeed, it was the primary mechanism by which the British gained control of India in the first place.
"Ignore" was probably the wrong word, but it is tricky. Remember that a vehicle is evaluating the environmental state at a given point in time to make decisions. Let's take the example of everyday driving on the freeway where you are following a car going the same speed as you. From your car's radar and camera perspective, the vehicle in front of you is stationary. It's not until you combine that information with additional information (your own velocity) and infer a more complicated state of affairs that you get a more complete picture. The camera and radar are both screaming "there's a stationary object right in front of us!", but you're still traveling at 60mph directly toward it.

Combine that with the normal event of a garage wall or building directly in front of you while parking and we have three different "stationary object in front" situations that all have to be handled differently. In all three, the radar and camera are saying "stationary object ahead". But in the left-turn-with-wall situation you need to turn instead of stop. In the following-another-car situation you do nothing, and in the parking situation you need to stop instead of turn. And that's all without even starting to account for things like rain (opaque to some LIDAR and cameras = "we're literally crashing right now!" while radar reports nothing amiss). In order to decide what to do you have to pull in additional environment information, but then that's going to have similar caveats and conflicting reports to account for, so you need additional rules and information, etc. and now you've snowballed into a highly complex model with corner cases and potential bugs everywhere.

If it was easy we would have had self-driving cars a decade ago.
With the wireless payment cards, it's even more efficient then cash. Just put your card up to the machine and it takes the payment. No pin or anything. Limited to under a certain amount though. And it does sometimes ask for your pin now and then to make sure it's you.
Was this just released today?
It is a valid point, for sure. My handwriting is nice and easy for me (a point of pride, actually), so I can definitely see being biased toward it.

I can definitely type faster than I think, though. So my hands always end up in this kind fo wait() loop while my brain processes. Sometimes, I look back at my previous sentences and realized that my hands kept going for a while before by brain even bothered to stop them. I guess I don't have that problem as much with pens.
Endgames in bidding chess
I eventually had to use a series of command-line tools to shepherd my badly-organized photo collection into something like a usable state, and it basically involved finding all the JPEGs on my system, de-duplicating them, and dropping them into folders based on their date-taken metadata.

It was a huge pain, and entirely an artifact of the tyranny of the folder-based filesystem.
I liked it. It tasted fairly similar to ground beef. Besides the flavor (which can be overwhelmed by spices and sauces in the burger anyway) it was satisfying in the way that a tempe or tofu or mushroom burger is not.
Every time I use a tagging-based system, I become more convinced that tags are what I want for almost all things, not just files.
I was very happy to pay USD 1 a year for WhatsApp.

I think they were already profitable by te time they sold out.

There's also other monetization options:

API access for businesses.

Premium accounts.

Etc.

And FTR: I'd gladly paid 10 times as much as WhatsApp charged if that was the price- as long as they didn't sell out to my enemies.
I would also like to know the answer to this question. I enjoy the posts, generally, but I don't see why the sudden surge; there aren't even any ads (which is what I'd usually suspect)
Of course it is. However, divide and rule was the original british mantra. It saddens me personally how well it worked on the Indian sub-continent and as a student of history I wonder why it did.
