I just want a study that tells me the intensity and frequency of exercise that counter-acts the sitting plague.

By now, all sitting studies sound like they're stating the obvious.
Unless you have an (irrational exclusive) association of "virus = bad/fear/disease" to begin with the headline is perfectly fine. It's just your interpretation made by adding your own context. You should try to separate what is actually there from what you yourself add. It's a statement of fact that sounds interesting and that's all, and unlike what the other person said it's not very "click baity", it actually is a pretty accurate description of the main point.
Thanks for sharing, appreciated!
My friend is currently in a “normalish” state of mind. I think/hope the care he might receive (academic hospital in the Netherlands) does not resemble your (terrible) experience. I feel a lot of people can’t relate to such states of mind and because of that don’t know how to respond. I’ve done shrooms multiple times and the things people describe during pshychosis/hypomania are more recognizable to me. I think that if you’ve learned how to guide yourself out of a bad trip you can use that knowledge in understanding and helping others.

Are you using any medication right now? What are some things (medication wise) that did or did not help you?
We’ve got effective consumer lobbying groups. E.g. we’ve got crazy safety standards for cars that make them heavier and inefficient (compared to lighter vehicles in Europe?)
People can be in multiple circles

Sure, but how would you classify Meme Boy in circles so that you don't see his memes but you do see his important life events? Or Share Girl so you don't see what she had for lunch but do see important things?
Seems like gp was being figurative, and saying that something like the mythical "goo that consumes everything" actually exists already.
Admitting is fine, the problem is when you pass by people on the street and don't talk to them at all. A family member of mine has made enemies from people who assumed she was slighting them on purpose. Nowadays she actually explains her condition to new people she meets.
> a lot of these queries are simple and obvious to a Q programmer

I'm not sure if it was you, but I most definitely saw a couple of posts like this on HN. Each time I had just one wish: for the poster to provide an explanation, preferably from the basics, of what is going on.

As a programmer, due to my hobby, I learned a lot more programming languages than average and am pretty confident in my ability to learn new ones, yet K and Q elude me completely. Every time I get interested in it, I struggle with its complete lack of entry-level documentation. I learned J, and while it's similarly impenetrable at first, there are tons of good documentation on J wiki. With Q I couldn't find anywhere near that amount of explanations.

So, I'm not against pasting Q snippets in comments, but I think they would bring much, much more value if accompanied with a detailed explanation of both syntax, semantics, and library functions. As it stands, even things I thought I know, like that : means assignment, only add to the confusion, because looking at your code I see that apparently it sometimes means something else entirely...
What happens to the atmosphere when you suck all the oxygen out of the oceans?

Also, how long would it take for the oceans to reabsorb that oxygen? Do the current records follow these expectations?

Perhaps there are proxy signals? For example, there's ocean re-oxygenation faster (or slower?) than expected? Could a species that required more oxygen tip the scales?
There is one retirement fund that isn’t a pyramid scheme: the kind where the retiree saves in his own account and faces investment risks like everyone else. Forcing taxpayers to shelter you from risk is slimy, even if you have a “negotiated agreement” signed by some politician.
Lobbying has little to do with campaign contributions. Lobbyists are limited to $2,300 like everyone else. Especially corporate lobbying, because corporate campaign contributions to candidates are banned.

Money in lobbying is almost entirely paying lobbyists to make PowerPoint presentations to staffers: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_lobb....
I highly recommend the book Mindfulness in Plain English if you're interested in meditation.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003XF1LKW/

It strips away a lot of the "woo woo" kooky stuff and clearly explains what meditation really "is". I just finished re-reading it, and must have highlighted every other sentence.
Same. As someone who has spent an embarrassing amount of time keying and tracking video footage over the years, I’m surprised ML isn’t being used for this more often in studios by now.

Mobile friendly pdf link, because for some reason mobile github just shows a "This file is too big to show. Sorry!" with no raw file link.
Yes, but built-in in browser.

Edit: and fully automatic. Browser would try to replace what it could, but only as long as the origin remains the same.
Open source software, in general, tends to make things more reproducible

Citation very much needed for that. Because you can very easily find that 6 months or a year later you update your dependencies and everything is now broken. I recently came back to a Python project after a year, updated my packages then realized: I simply cannot be bothered to unpick the mess that resulted just to add one trivial feature. Whereas the poster child for backwards compatibility is closed-source and proprietary.

Science is not reproducible because there are no incentives for it to be so, despite everyone paying lip service to it. It's extra work and helps those who are competing with you for grants, after all. That's a social problem, not a software one. The software is irrelevant.
Just imagine ... that some day in the future journalism will be AI based, and will generate entire articles tailored to your viewing habits based on extensive psych profiling and AB testing to maximize clicks and screen time!

Ask HN: What's the best way to relax before sleep after coding hobby projects?
Well, it might be the best of several flawed models.

Malcolm X's speech about the ballot and the bullet is worth hearing. Maybe democracy is only partly about rational policymaking, and mostly a pressure valve to prevent violent revolutions.

That's not to dismiss it, avoiding violent revolutions, even partly, is still a massive benefit for humanity that's hard to overrate.
Public school?
MathCAD went to shit in about 2000. I had been using it for 10 years then (started in DOS). They made some annoying UI changes and really increased the cost. The kicker was when they called me and accused me of using a fake license, when I had dutifully been paying support for both a home and work license. I got fed up and went to Mathematica.

MathCAD was later bought by PTC, and further went to shit. It amuses me how some companies can self destruct.
Is there ever going to be a way in this world today that one can simply not be tracked? I feel that most every device you use will have some company or another tracking you. I'd love if people could post some ideas around this.

I've done the (becoming) standard uBlock, uMatrix (which makes most sites unusable until you tweak it), setting up "do not track" and "no cookies". Using private browsing with TOR. It doesn't seem like any of this is enough to prevent someone that seriously wants to track you.

So what are the next steps?
>While the amount of jobs may vary

This is the important snippet. One engineer today can do the work of many engineers of yesteryear. One doctor today can be more productive than several were twenty years prior, and with MI techniques improving continuously that isn't looking to slow down at all. Educators have more tools available to them today than they ever have, and while I don't know if they've become more productive because of it it certainly seems to be helping squeeze budgets ever-tighter.

For government workers, there's many sub-groups who feel the same squeeze. Administrative work can be made vastly more efficient through software. Legal work can be sped up tremensouly by automating much of the grunt work.

Police armed with better tools, better information gathering, and better technology can serve more people with fewer officers, though again in this case it mostly seems to be serving to let budgets drop continuously.

It'll be a while until any of these areas are _automated_, but that doesn't mean that we need as many people working in them today as we would have ten years ago to achieve the same goals.
Tiny jumping spiders were the worst for me growing up. Nowadays don't mind them, don't live in an area with anything venomous so no rational fear
We have unlisted our video on YouTube so that we could see how people are viewing the YC app video via YouTube Analytics. Interestingly I cannot track any view from US.

Wow Steve Wozniak, never expected to see him on there.
Regardless of how innovative Gmail and Chrome were (and I agree they were), more of Google's "innovative" products are a result of acquisition. This supports the article's hypothesis that Google's internal product innovation is not as great.

Some examples of failed innovation at Google are Wave, Allo, Chat, Plus, etc. Having worked at Google, I can count way more product failures than successes that originated internally.
> Groups of people or interest groups should be allowed to bring their case to legislators to try to convince them.

Why can’t this be a public process with no direct access to the legislator ?

If the point is to change a public body’s behavior, it should be done in the open and with tracability. For me by definition it shouldn’t be lobbying but open discourse.
Calls-to-action are the new pop-up ads
> Hmmmm. Not sure that much can be done, or should be done, to help lazy unmotivated people with unrealistic expectations.

Of course high school students have incomplete and partly unrealistic wishes and expectations. There's so much to learn still -- it really requires some time to fully grasp how society functions.

Furthermore, it's deeply unfair to label someone as lazy if they don't fit the normal school mold. People learn differently, and thrive in different jobs and skills. If you read the article in full, you'll notice she now has an after-school job which she loves. That sounds like a great start to me.
Having just read this article, how might this virus activity be tracked / measured back in time?

A dive into the making of a 64K Intro
Your comment could give the impression this is drastically more simple to do than it is in reality. This is considered as something like the last frontier of VFX, and there still remains a lot of work to be done.

While you’re essentially correct, it is currently an overwhelmingly manual process. The amount of work and time necessary is substantial (some would say outrageous), and exponentially higher for certain types of shots. Many shots remain impossible or cost-defeating.
Much as I would like to avoid google, the routing on OSM or graphhopper leaves a lot to be desired.

There's no routing using public transport. Half the buildings I've tried looking up either don't exist on OSM / Gnome maps, or result in an address half-way across the globe.

That said, I prefer using HERE maps as it works very well in offline mode, including voice navigation, compared to anything else I've tried.

The fact is that getting a global mapping and navigation solution right takes tremendous effort and money (Apple can tell you a lot about how their attempts worked out for them), and I want an application that I can trust and that just works when I'm behind the wheel or at an unfamiliar location.

I'm sure OSM and alternatives will continue to improve over the years, and I'll play with them occasionally, but I will still go back to HERE, waze or google maps for the important stuff.
Apparently, there's no _true_ offset for extended hours of sitting[1]. There might be some science/studies behind smart watches urging you to stand for a couple of minutes every hour, however.

In Europe, that's we call communism, not socialism.
This is one of the reasons I posted this. The visual design is very eye-catching and the level of detail on the intrinsics is very nice. It's also great to see which ones are for SSE{,2,3,S3,4.1} and AVX{,2,512}.
> I've only met a couple of people who can fill out ONLY a 1040/1040-EZ, and that was because they were still in college or younger.

Nearly half of all people file their taxes with a 1040EZ or a 1040 (instead of a 1040A).

Using a usb-live disk distro built from the ground up to be privacy first (i.e. tails) would be the next step up the “trading inconvenience for increased privacy” ladder.
It's just another option, it's about choice. You could very well use maps.me as I do on Android, or any of the other solutions.

That's already illegal; it's called bribery.
YC S18 YouTube Video
Are all the YouTube videos submitted not viewed as a part of the application? Can they skip the app-video altogether? Are Unlisted videos not view if people at YC don't find the application worthy?
Some people enjoy writing and some people enjoy reading. It need not be "to the point" all of the time.
I think backprop can be made to work online and the cache gets instant feedback on its predictions, so I see no reason why this couldn’t be made to work. In some ways their conditional probability estimates are one form of classifier. It would be really interesting also to see how this idea plays with specialized NN training hardware like the TPU, it would certainly make the computation easier.

I sure hope so. Get the Americans to think more creatively and get more people to work at higher salaries. AGIs have been stagnant for over a decade. Enough with the free trade which is only unilateral.
Lobbying is legal corruption. The represent.us group do a great video about it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig&

The US government doesn't represent the people. It only represents about 10% of the people; those who are the top income earners and whose view happen to align with the interests that represent the top industry groups.
Perhaps not fear mongering, bu it's closer to click bait. You'd expect an outfit like the NYT not to stoop to such intentions and tactics.
> One thing a lot of people (who do not work in gov't) don't recall is that while the economy was roaring back then, Oregonians working for the gov't went for years without so much as a cost of living adjustment.

MathCAD went to shit in about 2000

That would be a couple of years after I last used it. What a shame, at least I have those memories. Really loved how low-friction working with it was, and how trivial it was to generate high quality documents or reports, there was no "write it up" stage, you were done basically as soon as you had done the actual work. Then just print and go! Still can't really do that with Jupyter.
Gold rush' for Wi-Fi on board planes spurs innovation
> Example, you join on a column that isn't indexed. To find every matching row DB has to scan entire table. Hello O(n^2).

It's only O(n^2) if your DBMS uses nested loops to do this join. If it uses a merge join it's O(n log n) (plus you get an order by for 'free'), and if it uses a hash join it's O(n).

MySQL, last I checked, only supported various forms of nested loops, but first-class databases like PostgreSQL support the others.
I hear what you're saying and you're right that WinPython & Anaconda certainly help, but the documentation is still a long way off from Mathematica in my opinion.

One thing in Python's favor though might be depth in certain categories. The machine learning stuff in Mathematica is very nice and high level if you want neural networks, but if you need PSO or GA, you'll probably have to write your own or grab someone else's notebook.

It was difficult for me to support closed-source software as I've always supported linux for this reason.

As far as ensuring accuracy of calculations, having a very large and highly technical user base over several decades helps, but I'm not sure how much this is used in theory. If a statistician publishes a paper using R, is anyone really going to check the R module source code? I bet this is a rare occurrence.
How about we base our views on something substantive, not YouTube propaganda?
The point is not about living under a bridge or starving, the point is that this should be considered equivalent in most terms (except tax-wise) to earning your market-rate salary and choosing to invest 2/3 of that cash into the startup.

No matter how much you have left, the consideration of whether it's a good deal or not should include that choice to "spend" that amount of (potential) money on the startup versus whatever you would have done with that money otherwise. If you wouldn't have done anything, then there's choice of spending a few years on the startup versus having, say, half a million of savings for retirement.
Bit of history: Back when Nokia owned Qt and tried to make it their mobile sdk, Python was in their vision as The high level application programming language. To accomplish that and provide unified licensing, they attempted to buy PyQt, but ultimately couldn't get into agreement with Riverside. So Nokia said, fuck it, we'll make our own with blackjack and hookers, and PySide was born. When Nokia then shifted to Microsofts bed, PySide project mostly died out.

Now it seems that Qt company has picked up the PySide project again and as part of the revival are rebranding from PySide2 to Qt for Python, which seems sensible both to avoid the baggage associated with the PySide name and make the branding bit more clear; the PySide name wasn't really that great to begin with.
If you miss your flight due to a delay by the airline such as missed connection then you will not pay this penalty. If you miss the flight because you overslept or got stuck in traffic then yes absolutely will pay this penalty. You will have to pay this fee at the counter in order to be rebook. I also wouldn't call $200 plus any change in fare for the rebooked flight "nominal."

Because the reproducibility crisis has very little to do with the difficulty in re-running the same code. These are almost orthogonal concerns.

The typical problem paper has a small data set, on which the authors tried 20 different things, one of which achieved p<0.05 and got published. The result tells you nothing meaningful about the world (or more often, tells you something about how its authors wish the world worked). But re-running their code on their data set will not reveal the problem.
I built a client for http://woordenlijst.org/#/ (Dutch word existence checker basically) and it is super fast. The syntax is only slightly different from Ruby and it starts up instantly.

The only thing that I have against crystal is that my compiled binary didn't work on all other machines I tried it on. Even the practically identical macbook of a friend of mine. Looking around on their wiki pages and in the issues on github didn't give me any real solutions. So right now, as the version numbering suggests, it isn't ready for production.
This notion of fixing depression by jumping is common in skydiving. I've been jumping about twenty years and I've encountered people who claim to had been very depressed in their previous life and that jumping fixed them.

I’m a Canadian who has filed taxes in Canada (file like the US, but it’s simpler), the UK (no filing necessary if you only have interest and employment income) and the US.

One of the other complications with US taxes is that payroll systems and the exemption formula make it hard to get your deductions exactly right (this happens in Canada too), because you have to be able to exactly predict your annual income. In the UK the “Pay As You Earn” system deducts exactly what’s needed as you earn it. Even interest payments from the bank will have a line item for withheld taxes.

What you described sounds like a citizen lobbying effort and that type of lobbying is indeed an essential part of a democracy.

However I think a distinction must be made between citizen and petition lobbying and and the big-moneyed-corporate special-interest lobbying. When people are decrying the general term "lobbying" its mostly the latter.

What I expect to be in a similar vain is "Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion".

While I enjoyed reading it and it helped me make sense of a lot of things related to meditation, mindfulness and spirituality in general, I can't say I felt every other sentence was highlight worthy.

The chapter on spiritual frauds was however very enloghtening.
