I don't know why you put "credits" in quotes so I went to look it up. They give you $5000! Unless there's some catch this actually makes atlas free and maybe even profitable to do since I am already paying AWS for running servers already.

(Unless you're saying there are easier ways to get those free credits? Where else would you find them? Startup accelerators?)
"state machines" - nice pun in this context.
Intermittent fasting causes an increase of catecholamines in the blood. It increases mental clarity and energy. If you want to time it, the beginning of the most active catecholamine stage starts at 12 hours. So, if you stop eating at 8pm, you'll see the most benefit from 8am-noon.

Magnesium deficiency is becoming more and more common in the US. If you think you might be low, taking 2-3 ZMA 15 minutes before bed can have a dramatic effect on your daily energy levels. Don't eat anything with calcium within 2-3 hours of taking Magnesium.

If you can, put a weight lifting bar near your work station and do a few pullups every time you pass under it. Every time you go to the bathroom, do 10 pushups. Every time you get a cup of coffee or water, do 20. It doesn't seem like so few reps should have much of an effect, but they add up. Keep in mind this is intended to be an addition to, not a replacement for, a regular workout routine.
It always makes me smile when I see the hoard of people proudly step forward, and boast, “oh yes, here are examples of how I’ve cheated various systems!!”

Which is fine. That’s human nature.

But. No shame.

This is why I don't use side streets as shortcuts. Even before I had kids I understood it was a bad idea. I also try to only use services like Google Maps before departing, memorizing key turns. It helps that I'm old enough to have learned how to drive in unfamiliar areas without a computer giving me the turn-by-turn.

Perhaps one day Waze and others will be held liable for any accidents or even public nuisances that occur.[1]

You do if you’ve been acquired for $19 billion. The founders couldn’t have been naive enough to think that Facebook and its shareholders didn’t have a need to monetize such an enormous investment. Facebook is not a charity, it’s a business.

People paid to do something are rarely the best at it.

They are however consistent since their pay check depends on it.
The article answers its own question with this bit -- "Yet grant-writing experts universally stress that proposals should be built around hypotheses and warn that those not written this way risk rejection as “fishing expeditions.”

"Fishing Expedition" is code for a project that spends a bunch of money and has no tangible result. Typically that is called wasted money. When you have a patron that wants you go out and follow your curiosity, where ever it might lead, that is great. But if you're spending the tax payer's dollar, the folks who gave it to you have to explain to the congressional budget office why they gave it to you and what they hoped to achieve by giving it to you.

The easiest way to express that value proposition is with a hypothesis statement. Building equipment that is known to work (like the Hubble) doesn't require a hypothesis, it requires a credible statement that it will be able to do something that other equipment cannot. Or that you could not build the same capability in a different more cost effective way.
It's my understanding that that's trained out of them, and they are trained to stop and sit to signal their handler that they smell something (or whatever). This raises the question whether K9 "bite their arm off"[1] dogs are also drug dogs. I'm thinking "no," but I don't know.

I've seen some dark satire on HN lately. What I see here is another neat implementation of an unconstructive idea, amusing for reflecting our flaws.
We really should know better than to share or encourage sharing passwords with third parties. The same goes for CC details ("enter your CC and see if it's been stolen").
The right place for a widget like this is on the signup or change password page itself.

You've put forward a little risk/reward proposition where users are unable to properly assess the risk. People love to be rated, that part's easy. You rely on them to take your word on the site's affiliation, to not understand that you can collect passwords despite saying otherwise, or vary the site's behavior mod N, or cross-match fingerprint:password with leaked/purchased/accumulated fingerprint:username data, and so on. They look at it and think, 'looks legit'. It might well be, but the proposition is unfair and its unconstructive to condition users to accept this type of trade-off.
Yikes, there is a rapid escalation in claims. Certainly we could argue about whether the length of the sentence is appropriate. Contrary to what you have written, I don't think anyone, even violent criminals, should be subject to prison rape, beatings, or abuse, nor do I think ex-convicts of any stripe should be denied housing, and I think it is absolutely a black mark on this country's justice system that such a thing is winked at. But let's not only trot out that defense when we're looking at white-collar criminals who remind us of ourselves and look the other way for others. The fact remains, though, that this guy was engaged in a for-profit criminal enterprise, and his defenders do not seem to even want to acknowledge that.

What's the harm? It's simple. It's fraud. He led people to believe they were buying one thing when they were buying another. It's no different than slapping Chiquita labels on different bananas and then turning around and saying "what's the problem, they were good bananas" when you're caught.

I go through this routine about once a year. Somehow, I get it in my head that a Mutt setup would be better than the multiple webmail setup I currently deal with (Gmail and Office 365). Sometimes I do a pure IMAP setup, sometimes using offlineimap to mirror the entire mailbox. Each time, I realize how much html email there is and how difficult it is to quickly review attachments. Both of these can be handled well with a good mailcap file, but the extra hassles just make it just a bit too difficult to switch over completely. I always end up back with webmail after a few days.

Maybe one time, I'll be able to stick with mutt.
Such a large outlier! When rural farmers move out of Kansas, they increase the average household net worth in Kansas - when they move away, they stop "dragging down" the average. We shouldn't maximize this metric.
Have you looked at Prince [1]? It's commercial, but highly regarded.

The coolest project I've seen with it is OMA (Rem Koolhaas' architecture firm), which uses it to print internal, very professional-looking booklets automatically generated from data, text and photos stored in Sanity [2]. (The Sanity team also built the system to make the booklets.)

Airplanes get upgraded all the time - fresh seats, newer gps tech, etc.

Software systems like this get “mainenance” of the bare minimum sense - think a new battery after the original is dead.
How do we know that remote telecommuting work isn't working? If you could telecommute to work and could live virtually anywhere, Kansas would not likely be at the top of the list due to a somewhat harsh winter climate. I'd imagine people would locate somewhere remote but with a temperate climate (i.e. Central California coast, Florida, Colorado, Western Washington, or even Costa Rica, etc.).
Yes, it is bogus. That's the point, actually. You can just say whatever bogus stuff you want on YouTube.

Don’t know if VR/telepresence has given any real benefit to typical tech work.

That said, my team at a prior employer was distributed between our offices in LA, SF, Seattle, Bozeman MT, Toronto. We met in person no more than once a quarter and did everything else via hangouts, conf calls and slack. Even though we were very spread out, the team was one of the most productive in the org. I don’t know if any tech would have made us measurably more productive.

One argument could be made that we worked on an existing system, but we actually rebuilt completely, while also keeping the old one operational. There was a lot of greenfield work done and a lot of ideation. Periodic in-person sessions helped, but it’s really hard to make an argument that these same ideas would not have come to be without those in-person meetings.

Where I think you need the density you described is in searching for new work and/or funding/company creation. It’s pretty hard to sell convince someone to be your first customer when you never met face-to-face in person.

Hiring remotely should be pretty doable, but requires a leap of faith that many are unwilling to take.
The theory as I've heard it goes that youtube believes manual human review of videos is becoming increasingly necessary and creates a significant expense (hiring human reviewers is more expensive than algorithmic review). The less monetized channels there are on youtube, the less money youtube has to spend manually reviewing videos. And if youtube users all 'choose' to watch only a relatively small portion of channels, youtube users will be less distressed when smaller channels start complaining about being demonetized. If the vast majority of their users are only watching a handful of channels, youtube becomes more efficient and more profitable.

Therefore culture shaping and profit are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they both reinforce each other.
* >With regard to the rest of your comment, I'm not confident breaking up the google 'monopoly' would actually solve this problem. If you spun youtube off as its own company distinct from the rest of google, wouldn't it still have a virtual monopoly on this user-uploaded online video space? How would you actually solve that? Split youtube itself into several "Baby Youtubes"? How would that work, which one would get the domain name? *

Not OP, but IMO breaking Google into smaller chunks would increase responsibility on each smaller chunk to provide a pro-customer experience, and require specific (and slower to act) government requests to affect large swathes of data. Smaller corporations simply can't afford to screw users as quickly or in such numbers as mega-groups.

Right now, 'Google' can be asked to affect data for many services? Is that good? It doesn't feel good to me.

Having a large backing company , in nearly every instance i've encountered it, reduces overall customer satisfaction, reduces communications between company and consumer to as bare minimum as possible, and makes the service much more likely to attract, and fold to, government pressure.
Facebook alone makes $23 per user (from US/Canada) per month so it probably should rather be $50 than $10 per month.
A little further into the article, the author presents many other arguments in support of his point, and discusses why some types of experiment (e.g., typical medical investigations) may need hypotheses, while others need not (the Hubble telescope was not built to investigate a specific hypothesis.) This article deserves more of a response than one that ignores anything not mentioned in the title.

True for all journalism.
> Kansas is dying because its biggest industry is failing.

It's not failing, they're producing more than ever. It's just automating. We've been doing that to agriculture since it was developed.

Coal mining isn't too dissimilar FWIW (except it would be great to not mine it at all!), we're currently producing way more coal than when coal country was in boom times. It just uses a ton less people than it used to.
Anecdotal, but a relative also had a benign growth in the brain cavity. It was removed, no problems. Simone's being behind her eye sounds a little more technical though.
The difference between established science, and medical advice is that the latter needs to look at the body as a holistic system.

Magnesium deficiency may be a documented problem, with documented symptoms. Taking magnesium to correct it may have unfortunate side effects, due to other drugs that you're taking, or other conditions that you may have.

This introduction to this piece, with the utterly pointless link to Holt's profile on a religious social network, is startlingly inappropriate. It says something far more memorable and disturbing about "Nefarious Labs" than the piece does about Caddy.

Cocaine hydrochloride's vapor pressure is negligible, AFAIK. I always thought that the "smell of cocaine" is actually the smell of solvent traces or other impurities left from typical production routes.
What's really interesting about this observation is that the problem with the subscription model is exactly that it prohibits perfect price discrimination whereas advertising does not.
A key fact left out of the reporting is how many Uber drivers does Uber employ in the USA ... ?

So it's 103 drivers out of what? 100,000 driver employees? Is this above or below the nation average. And what incompetencies if any is Uber responsible for.
It's per quarter I think.
I suppose the benefits depends on the knowledge work. A mathematician might benefit from the quiet solace of the country side, the human bandwidth being of marginal benefit, and instead focus on the problem. When they're ready, they transmit the proof, where it will be studied, reviewed and disseminated (if correct).

If you're not considering the information you receive too heavily, then you'd probably want more synchronization and bandwidth to add value. Call center work, sales over VR (currently done over video phone) and the like.
The kernel is an entirely different beast. The systems in question have been around three times longer, and have been closed from the start. A hardware caching issue bringing the whole thing down probably means it's closely tied into the hardware, and difficult to contribute to. Obscurity isn't security, but it may not be the best idea to pop the lid off everything at once in such a case.
Some simple numbers courtesy of the ACLU[1]

"Marijuana arrests now account for over half of all drug arrests in the United States. Of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010, 88% were for simply having marijuana."

So that's 7.2 million arrests simply for possession.

In 2010 police arrested someone for weed-related things every 37 seconds.

However it is important to note that an arrest is not a conviction. Most are fined or are placed into community supervision. About 40,000 inmates of state and federal prison have a current conviction involving marijuana.

That's a lot, and there are likely a lot more that ended up in prison due to problems with having an arrest record (that should also be wiped imo) so that is a lower limit but the point is that overall - even without a ton of active prisoners there is still a massive effect of all those arrests.

Also it's worth noting that black people are nearly 4 times as likely to be arrested for these things even though usage rates are the same across races.

Sure, but that's irrelevant to my comment, which is answering the original question "Why is Rust so popular on HN?" in the specific context of Ada.
Progress! More food from fewer farmers! You want millions of peasants tilling the land by hand?
Fair enough. The confusion seems to be so common I wonder where it comes from originally. Evidently it's not coming from dictionaries... maybe schools are creating this misconception by primarily discussing government censorship.
We are told by Zuckerberg and others at Facebook that users want "relevant" ads.

Do users "want" ads? (Assuming they have real choice.)

Is it the "irrelevance" of ads that disrupts aesthetics and insults intelligence?

Or is it something else about advertising?

What assumptions do folks make when they discuss online ads?

Do they assume that they know what would happen if they tried to charge user fees for their "service"?

Do they assume to know what users would do? (e.g., look for alternatives)

Do they assume to know what other software authors would do? (e.g., publish alternatives)

What if Facebook thought that users would stop using the "service" if it was not "free"?

What if Facebook thought it is more profitable and there is less potential for liability to users (who have paid nothing) if the "service" continues to be "free"?
I also got the same result for vc++/x64.

The Space Program has CBO-friendly reason for existing (beat the Russkies to the moon), but 99% of its value was unrelated to that reason.

AT&T invented huge swaths of technology motivated simply by something valuable would come own of free-range research.
PhDs and tenured professors do the same, usually when their research area happens to be inexpensive.

That has zero to do with ownership - unless you think the code on every embedded chip should be 100% open and accessible in user-space.

> When commitees have to decide how to spend money, of course it's more logical to fund a project with a well-formed question.

It's not logical to me at all. It might be true, but it excludes every creative invention by every tinker, explorer, and artist.
I feel like they will just open a market for a company to offer credit for these purchases.
When taking science classes in school, I never understood why a hypothesis had to take a side. It could not be a question, like "hypothesis: does hot water freeze faster than cold water?", but had to take a position on the issue: "hypothesis: hot water freezes faster than cold water". I never got why this was the case; it sets the experiment up for failure: "oh no, I proved my hypothesis wrong". Who cares? As long as you show something (even not reflecting the null hypothesis is _something_) with a well-designed experiment, why does it matter if your guess is right or not?

I'd much rather prove a hypothesis like "a chalk circle drawn around sugar does nothing to inhibit ants" wrong, than to prove it right! That would be much more interesting!

WhatsApp had 55 employees and I'd say it had no marketing to speak of.
WikiMedia more than Mozilla. Most of Mozilla's revenue comes from search/advertising deals struck with Google and others. WikiMedia relies on donations alone.
I completely agree with you - but crunchlibrarian is right.

This is exactly the sort of thing the social safety net _should_ cover. Otherwise only popular/beautiful people get the help they need.

There's a whole bunch of other people out there facing equally rough times, and because they don't have a million youtube subscribers they are not going to have any chance of riding it out on Patreon donations.

100% support Simone - but don't do it pretending there's nothing wrong with society and the way our governments treat _most_ people in awful situations.
Most people who are doing competitive programming aren't good at the harder problems. For example, there are >2500 people listed on the TopCoder Top Ranked Algorithm Competitors page (https://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=AlgoRank), but only the top 115 or so are Red, and only about 415 more are Yellow.

A programming contest, even if you just do the easy problems, can be a more enjoyable way to practice for interviews than reading a book or even going through online puzzles like those on LeetCode.
Should that maxim become universal standard, I don't know that we would be better. I think you could make a case that at some level, every single law is corrupt, especially if we allow for relativism (every law will be in someone's opinion, corrupt). The word loses all meaning at that point.
Bezos is a really smart guy but here, I beg to differ. I interviewed for a management role over at Amazon. I asked them what they thought of work life balance and how many hours are we talking about a week. 60 or so was the minimum, and that doesn't include lunches. 12+ hour days didn't seem like something you can sustain no matter how much energy you have.

Sooner or later, you will get physically and mentally exhausted at work, even though you have lots of fun doing so before you get wiped out.

I also informed them that if your engineers are working 70+ hours a week basically every week, then you don't have an engineering problem but a management problem. It's no longer a work-life balance, but purely a work-work balance, and that it was up to management to ensure that they don't burn their engineers out.

I didn't get to the next round (thankfully). I didn't "fit their culture". So I thanked them and moved on. Better for them, better for me.

I personally want people who are effective, and can put in a solid day of work. I still pull wisdom from, "Debugging the Development Process" back from 1994. I think it still holds true today for many aspects of software engineering. Or am I really an outdated curmudgeon?
