According to a quick search Keller is apparently moving to _Intel_.

Wow, I really hope that doesn't worsen the current imbalance of the x86 and GPU markets. Given that Keller seemed to be to Ryzen at AMD what Raja was to Vega/Polaris, it doesn't look good.

Use of candlelight increases your risk of home fire significantly. Better use LEDs that are similar to candles.
I agree. I mentally translated this to "It pays to write op-eds to turn out the vote", that is, op-eds are a cost-effective way to energize the people who already support you.

It's a bit of a tweak on the headline, but I think it more accurately reflects the nature of the research (Assuming I didn't miss something.)
Random tangent, but that last statement about having 3 kids and instantly falling asleep whenever the opportunity presents itself rings really true for me. I had major sleep problems until i had 3 kids. 4 years of 2 new borns + heavy callout. Took about 3 years to recover from that but i'd fall asleep anywhere i sat still long enough. Glad thats all behind me, i hope you're getting some good sleep.
Nor do the health insurance company. The company profit out of accidents and parts like cornea from people who die at an older age.

In japan on the back of all the public insurance card there is a place to state do you want to give up you organs for free if you die accidentally. You carry it everywhere and have are required to sign it. If you think about it again, maybe it is better to our organs to a private company than the government.
Maybe some day we'll all realise that Optics are meaningless.
In what sense is the touchpad worse? Is it because it is smaller and it isn't covered in glass? I've been using touchpads ever since Cirque launched the original 'Glidepoint' - I still have the original, it still works but the RS232-interface it uses is getting rare - so I have some experience using the things. I also have an Apple 'magic touchpad' which I use with a stationary machine. What the latter has going for it is the size - which fits stationary applications but gets in the way within the confined space of a laptop - and the glass cover - which doesn't wear down like the plastic versions do. The 'clickpad' functionality can be handy but it has its drawbacks as well, especially when your fingers happen to be all the way at the top of the pad where clicking the thing takes noticeably more force than at the bottom, this due to the design where the actual switch sits at the bottom feet. Nearly all touchpads support multi-touch gestures (two-finger scroll being the one I use most).
Yes, but in Cluj the rents are also quite high, since the hitech hub expanded there.

Not sure about Iași or Brașov. Bucharest was expensive before and not quite to recommend.
> You could take this one step further and just say NO devices or TV at night or after 7pm, period.

I've done that before and it didn't make any difference for me. If I read a book on a screen or on paper before bed, it doesn't seem to matter, as long as the light is 1850K.

What method would you recommend for a sleep schedule reset? I'm currently trying to move my fall asleep time from 4AM to 10PM.
In Berlin too: salaries stay much the same, but rents are skyrocketing. In 2010 a 40sqm apartment was around ~400/500€ in city ring, now they are around 700€, and the price is always without electricity and internet connection, which are extra.

If you look for a 90sqm apartment, you have to plan 1400€ at least. In general, the more rooms you want, the more you have to pay for.
I don't understand your point 2. Here's an example of what I meant:

> (defvar somevar 3)
> (defun printvar () (format t "somevar is ~D~%" somevar))
> (printvar)
somevar is 3
> (let ((somevar 5)) (printvar))
somevar is 5
> (printvar)
somevar is 3

If you only have global variables, you wouldn't get 3 back the third time, right?
At the time it was just one among many. I first encountered it using telnet info.cern.ch, which was a line mode browser. There wasn't much to see other than links to other web servers. Usenet was much more important and gopher had more content. But when I first saw a web page on Mosaic, with pictures and rendered text, it was mind blowing.
This also supresses the amount of propaganda coming from Russian media. If you have not seen it, you would not believe how bad it is.

ASCII isn't really enough for (British) English. In handwritten English the following characters are very common: £ ‘ ’ “ ” · –/—. (You see that interpunct? That's the correct way to do a decimal point. Very common in handwriting; very rare in typing; often replaced with a full stop even in good typography.) Then there are some frequently used foreign words: façade, outré, Noël. I'll mention these, though they're rather old-fashioned and I would guess nearly everyone would use the ASCII equivalent even in handwriting: naïve, encyclopædia, œuvre. I could also mention the grave accent used in some poetry: learnèd.

Dutch, like English, is almost ASCII, though there are things like "één".

I have turned on T2 unlimited for this server. But still, I noticed that the application was becoming unresponsive for a few minutes when there was a continuous load.

Didn't get a chance to get to the bottom of this yet. Did anybody else notice something similar?
>>> Furthermore, some games silently vary the probability of drops based on prior results (without informing the player), a strategy designed to reinforce the Gambler's Fallacy and ensure users continue to open loot boxes after the first few.

OK, I understand. I naively thought that it was real luck at play. But you explain it's manipulated. If that's the problem, then I fully understand the gov't position.
I disagree with your portrayal of the conversation. You made an overbroad claim (they're either oblivious or don't care) and I challenged its universal applicability. Your nuanced third position only came out after that.

I do want to think seriously about these issues, and I think that's exactly what my challenge accomplished.

As a further question: why is a startup imposing externalities on its surrounding communities (like those two) necessarily in the wrong, whereas a state can do the same (legalizing marijuana has effects on neighboring states) without moral qualms?

Is the problem really the law breaking, or that you just dislike the motives for doing so?
I assumed it was the FT, and a Google search seems to confirm that.
Thanks for that. I submitted this because, although environmental issues come up here relatively often (the collapse of civilisation will, of course, affect tech), I have seen very little with regards to the long-term consequences of our anemic approach to the situation (even the Paris accord is like a band-aid on a shotgun wound). It was nice, for the most depressing value of "nice", to see someone who has shown prescience to just come out and say that there is not much reason to think that we'll get out of this one with an intact civilisation, and to address that Teslas and reusable grocery bags aren't going to fix this. I also thought the mention of focusing on music and love and the things that used to mark a well-lived life as opposed to greater economic extraction might be the best approach.

We've been taking out loans from the atmosphere for a couple centuries without too much trouble, but nature is eventually consistent.

Munich is very simptomatic of this "singles" issues. More than half of the people there are singles, thus the housing need is quite high.

However, since the cheap money from the banks, more people are orienting to buy than rent, which is quite different from the past.
I lived in a city that made a conscious effort to retrofit a bike network with many dedicated routes over the past decade and it has paid off with a massive increase in riders (mode share has passed 20%). There was a corresponding decline in people traveling by car, despite the city also expanding the road network by twice the amount at the same time (they didn't reduce funding).
In the sense that it's not used as widely, except in certain circumstances? No way! Email is here to stay for a long, long time (maybe even beyond the lifespan of anyone reading this in 2018). Even if person-to-person communication has shifted to different apps and platforms (like Facebook or Telegram or WhatsApp or Snapchat or Instagram or Google+ or what have you), communications within companies and communications from companies to customers, potential customers, suppliers and others, are cases of large scale regular use of email — as a communication platform and an archival platform.
The problem with rent control is that it causes more harm than good.

Great for the lucky few that get a rent controlled apartment. Bad for people that don't and for landlords that now can't charge enough rent to cover the mortgage.
For the same reason you are perfectly fine with government surveillance and prohibition aggressively enforced by the State.

Just stop giving your kids money, or pay more attention to their spending habits. If you think attention to your kid is oppressive surveillance, then there is no hope for you. Apparently children are oppressed by their parents' attention and they are suddenly capable of looking after themselves, yet at the same time you are in favor of prohibition of in-game loot crates because children are not capable of looking after themselves, but you also can't look after them because that would be oppressive. The cognitive dissonance is real.
No, that's for rentals. Most apartments in Stockholm are bought due to the rental market being the way it is.

Plenty of personal observations of this cultural friction in Latvia indeed.

I'll share an anecdote from a different place though, something that gave me an epiphany on how to judge this kind of situation. Years ago, I was on a train near the language border area within Belgium: French to the south, Dutch to the north. I had a conversation with a mentally disabled person sitting next to me. In both French and Dutch. He was switching between them fluently.
Ask HN: Doctor turned self-taught developer. To do a master's in CS or not?
Hello HN,

I come to you guys in search of solid and honest advice.

I'm 30 years old doctor turned self-taught developer. For the past 12 months or so I've been teaching myself programming through use of Freecodecamp and Udemy courses.

My main skill set right now is web dev, but my main interest is in health tech and ideally I'd like to be working as a software engineering in the healthcare space working with patient data, medical imaging and other more complex stuff.

I must say that my programming career path has not been straightforward. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't realise that coding != programming and if I want to become a software engineer I would need to get a solid understanding of computer science. It is for this reason that I've recently started to focus more on the fundamentals of CS like DS&A.

It is also for this reason that I've applied to go back to university to do a Master's in CS.

However, during this time I've also been applying for jobs and recently was offered a job at a health tech startup where they want me to work on an AI symptom checker chat bot.

So now I'm a bit torn. I really want to get a solid understanding of CS so that I can become a knowledgeable software engineer and work in the healthcare space in the future.

But at the same time, I feel like I can also learn whilst on the job and actually, this style suits me more as I consider myself more of a practical learner than a book learner.

So HN, all other factors put aside (like money), what would you do in my shoes: to go back to university or not?

This is where the human element comes into play, and something the blockchain cannot secure.
They (used to?) advertise the special figurines as being "in every 7th egg". So 6 in 7 eggs would have the "shitty". essentially worthless toys in them. Then, a collection of special figurines had an uneven distribution of the particular figurines, e.g. "Papa Smurf" was rarer than other smurfs IIRC.

So yes, basically they are loot boxes, but at least you get chocolate (and a shitty toy).

Unless you were my buddy, who was obese as a kid but also a major collector, trader and seller. His mom prohibited him from eating the chocolate, and yet he still bought hundreds if not thousands of eggs per year, mostly financed by him selling rare collections he previously obtained, on top of his regular allowance. He used to bring huge bags of just the chocolate eggshells to school for us to eat...

Well, it wasn't entirely chance. I once or twice went to the shop with him and watched him select the eggs, by shaking and very carefully listening. He was really good (or really lucky) and IIRC was was close to a 2 in 3 success rate (compared to the 1 in 7 as the ads stated).
Does anyone sensible think we're actually doomed?

If transportation is good enough, it isn’t that unreasonable. While I am impressed by Berlin’s public transport, that’s by comparison with the UK — Berlin shares one problem with the UK, however, and that is that high speed intercity trains feom nearish cities take an hour, but so to do internal trams, trains, S-Bahns and U-Bahns coming from the inside edge of the city.
Epoch Times is founded by and run by Falun Gong members. Just keep in mind that anything they publish is extremely biased towards an anti-PRC stance.

Just some background on the context:

There are many "meanings" in Hamlet's speech and there are entire essays written on them and how they relate to the play as a whole. What I offer here are some generally accepted interpretations and observations of the speech.

1) The speech represents Hamlet's contemplation of suicide. Hamlet questions whether it is a viable solution to his problems.

2) Hamlet contemplates killing Claudius. He wants revenge but if Claudius will go to heaven, then killing will not avenge Hamlet's father.

3) The speech asks existential questions which have been bothering Hamlet. What happens after death? Is it better to act or to remain inactive? Is existence (living) worth the pain? Why do miserable people continue to live?

Given that my 'nuanced position' was included in the same post as my 'overbroad claim', and that you're apparently now seriously arguing that there is no difference between handful of guys in a start-up making a decision to ignore regulations for profit and a policy decision made by a body of democratically elected representatives, I think it's clear your commitment here is to reddit-style 'logical gotcha' argumentation rather than a good-faith effort at grasping the issue.
That is a pretty exhaustive example. And the timestamp process looks pretty foolproof.

Couple of questions though -

How would the IOT device in the shipping load know what temperature the olive oil has been? Please don't say the IOT device can be placed in farms because we are currently talking about a logistics systems.

And even if the IOT was placed in the farms - how would anyone verify if the IOT ie the source of data was hacked. Maybe just enough to show that the farm is producing 10% more extra virgin oil?

How would the blockchain entries be managed? Because remember a block is added via majority rules - PoW or PoS. So, in case of olive oil manufacturing - who would verify if the IOT entry is correct?

What happens if the IOT is not tampered and just malfunctions giving incorrect data?

Salaries in start-up land are skyrocketing for high performing employees. SoundCloud had an average salary of ~€90k or something close to it. Lots of dual income, no kid hipster professional couples with tons of disposable income.
Just a guess, but perhaps these card collecting games haven't received the same degree of negative attention because to outsiders the card game aspect obscures the collecting/gambling aspect. With CS:Go skins it may be more obvious to people since skins are something completely extraneous tacked onto the 'real' game, whereas with the card collecting games the cards are an essential component of playing the 'real' game.

Another hypothesis is that video game players who don't partake in loot boxe gambling have become ticked off (perhaps because they perceive the gameplay to be neglected by companies who make their real money from these loot boxes.) These anti-loot video game players may then become activists against loot boxes, drawing broader public attention to the issue. Card collection games probably don't attract/create as many motivated activists calling for regulation and reform.

For a concrete case of this happening, see OpenSolaris after Oracle bought Sun. Since Oracle then owned all the copyrights for Solaris (since Sun had a contributor license agreement that assigned copy right to Sun), Oracle was able to stop sharing source code updates to Solaris with impunity.

This is all off the the top of my head so it might not be accurate.
There are a few exceptions to it. However, that's exactly how it works in The Netherlands. Biker needs to watch out for a pedestrian. Car for bikes and pedestrians, etc. If a car could've avoided the accident no matter if a cyclist was doing something wrong, car is at fault.

This change prevented loads of accidents. Before if a cyclist did something wrong the general thought was "cyclist should've paid attention". But an accident is caused by 2 people, so it makes sense that the one who can cause the most damage is fully aware of that.

Liable? That's why cars have mandatory insurance. The amount of damage which can be done is way higher than e.g. 2 cyclists hitting each other.
Key takeaway: Wall Street doesn’t care about manufactured outrage. At least not in the longer term.
