Which obviously was not what I was asking.

I was mostly wondering why they don't have a list of features right there in their frontpage or inside the README on GitHub.
I read it as "woman's brain simulator". I thought this was some crass misogynist onion article.

Either "a simulator of a woman's mind stopped working after lightning struck and blah blah shoes or something."

Or a "woman who had a simulator for a brain was struck by lightning and now something something shoes something."

The title really should be changed to implant. Even without misreading the word the title isn't great.
> Waiting an extra year or two or ten to learn about how fruit fly DNA mutates in space seems fine

We're beyond that. NASA recently (within the last couple years) concluded an experiment where an astronaut stayed an extended period in space so they could study this, by sending one of a pair of identical twin astronauts. [1]

See the research on Six Degrees...
> I have noticed this as well, that a not-small number of software programs have turned from "give us one money for this version" to "give us slightly smaller amount of one money per month, but do it in perpetuity if you want to keep going with the data you've entered."

Frankly, the writing has been on the wall for something like at least 10 years and surely came into life once Adobe announced the CS 5.5 subscription model in 2011.
Honestly, I don't think it would be a great loss to forgo most of the advertising funded content.
I don't know about this. Countless times researchers discover the next battery so much better than the current state-of-the-art being deployed, only to find out they just can't scale it. New battery technology is really hard.
Fair enough. The comment I was replying to was trying to make a point that consumers don't like a la cart models, so I think the consumer side of moviepass was the pertinent feature (they're wildly successful in terms of people loving it). It may suck for moviepass's finances, but as a consumer it's great and the $0 incremental cost has changed how I think about going to the movies. You could argue that the bulk of that happiness is that I'm just happy I'm paying less, which is hard to introspect. In that regard, maybe a profitable biz like netflix is a better example.

But then I realize that artists are complaining about getting screwed by spotify, studios are jacking up prices on netflix, and even services like classpass are changing. I wonder how many (if any?) of these subscription a la cart businesses have actually reached equilibrium.
Source on that last one? Even the worst climate change predictions don't create an earth unsuitable to human life. Hostile changes, sure. Unsuitable? No.
The performance regression is fixed and performance is even 30% higher than before (which was hidden by the perf regression)!
Just charge the same amount a normal ad clicking (or viewing) user would make you in revenue. I doubt it's more then 1€ per month.

On Youtube, depending on your source, you get from 1-4$ per 1000 views. It's not the users problem that payment for micro transactions doesn't scale.
I will check it out, initially, that looks like what I want.
> That part's easy. Where's your energy source?

Solar + methane itself fed back into the loop.
One of the major complaints when they trialed fuel cell buses in London years ago was that people though the fueling station would blow up ala hindenberg.
Hmm, I'll stick with the Triganic Pu thankyou very much.
Disagree. We make trade offs wrt safety all the time. Driving in a car is pretty dangerous, yet many of us drive our cars every single day. Because the payoff is worth the risk. Those quotes speak to this trade off. They are advocating for a stance that is willing to take more risk, because they assume that there are tremendous benefits to be had by doing so. They are not advocating taking risks for the sake of killing astronauts.
Great idea! Do you plan to make it paid at some point - referring to the Sign up and try for free note?

The biggest issue I have with bookmarking (apart from a better interface - which your app addresses) is link rot. I think adding a permalink (maybe by default?) would take this to the next level. Perma.cc has a nice API last time I checked :)
IIRC there have been comments disappearing on the gogs issue tracker. I'm not sure what was said in them, but I don't find it very comforting
> the Dragon capsule could have been retreived, if the parashutes had not been disbled in the starting phase

The chance of it being retrieved would have been much greater if the the parachutes hadn't been disabled. I expect a forum of engineers to know better than to assume everything would have worked correctly.

CEO pay isn't "basic supply and demand" unless you generalize the concept to such an extent that it becomes worthless.

Board Member: "Why are you paying your brother $500k to be your assistant?. Surely an assistant shouldn't make that much money."

CEO: "I really want my brother to do it, and since I only have 1 brother it's just basic supply and demand."

You can basically frame any human interaction in terms of supply and demand, but it's not really useful to do so. And it's certainly not what most of us have in mind when we talk about "basic supply and demand".
AT&T: Oh, gee. It sure would be a shame if something happened to that nice new DNS service of yours....

Except, if the only app you need is photoshop you can own Affiniy Photo for $30. Or, you can own Affinity Design for $30. And this one is the real kicker, Blackmagic is giving away most of what you need for free, and if you need more you can get a permanent license for a few hundred bucks. How long do you think it will be before Adobe starts really bleeding.
I would allow them, but then I'd also shift the focus from learning some mechanical procedure or facts to more fundamental concepts and increase the complexity of the problems accordingly.

It's hard to do it right, but I believe it has the potential to to engage students and increase their understanding by separating the boring parts (that a computer can easily do) and the challenging parts that the students need to understand
I always thought the reason why many African creatures seem undomesticable is because humans have always been in Africa and co-evolved, so anything native became fierce and untrusting gradually as hunters improved. Seems obvious, but I am not a scientist, so maybe it is more complex.
So in the middle of an epic housing crisis, California adds "about $25,000 to $30,000 to the construction costs" of a new home.

Amazon profits are like 1%-2%. At the end of the day, they don't make money like Microsoft, FB, or Google. Their stock price has whatever future potential baked in at their insane P/E ratio.

You have sympathy for the other companies because they're spread out in the Bellevue/Seattle/Kirkland/Redmond region vs primarily being situated Westlake/SLU?

Your argument doesn't make sense to me.

I don't think Amazon is too big. People just shit on them because their jobs are mostly on the SLU area and do well at highlighting the wealth or income disparity in downtown vs someone like MSFT who is further out in places like Downtown Bellevue and Redmond, where there are hardly any homeless people.

On the east side, 405 traffic is just as horrible as I5 is next to Mercer. You can't pin that all on Amazon.
> It was just never supported by data.

Perhaps because it was a predicted outcome of future events. As discussed in the article and here, it turns out he was more or less correct, does it not?
An extra $15-20k of added value is not what stands in the way of California home building.

I downvoted you because this type of commentary is the least useful thing you can read on HN.

Nobody learned anything useful from knowing that some guy with a GMail account isn't pleased with the spam filter. What was this supposed to achieve?

>It only means that’s your chance if you have the technology from quantum leap (the tv show) and you randomly land in the body of one of the participants

No, then the event already happened, so you know the outcome with certainty.

> The actual shuttle missions were not a statistical experiment or a consistent action where you can say “well this is what happened so that was the chance of death on an individual shuttle flight.”

Indeed there are confounding factors that make the error nontrivial. This doesn't invalidate the entire experiment.

>Trying to say “the actual chance of death was this based on how many people died.” is silly.

Its exactly as silly as saying "the actual chance of getting heads is based on how many heads you get". The problem with your argument is that that isn't silly. To calculate how likely getting heads is, you flip the coin a bunch of times, see how many heads you get, and then you have your answer (and a confidence level). Its the opposite of silly.

In other words, there's no big difference between "We'll flip a bunch of coins to see how likely we are to pull heads" and "we'll launch a bunch of people into space to see how likely they are to end up dead". The second isn't as rigorously controlled as the first, but that's fine as long as you account for it.
We say wheat is domesticated. I just think it means weaved into the fabric of society. Brains are not necessary, but mutual benefits is.
It's not a flaw. That's just uncertainty and a gamble. Whether that's sustainable for a given piece of software varies per product. And that's kind of the point I'm making.

The extent at which some users subsidize the app for others is just one of the decisions you need to make when deciding on a pricing structure, not a rebuttal.
This model would require some way to indicate the cost of producing content (e.g. sending journalist overseas with risk to life and limb, versus 30 seconds making up a meme).

And unfortunately, it has the huge problem that a lot of technologies that could track what you do could be misused. An anonymizing scheme similar to Apple Pay might work.
It is partly what "opens the purse strings" but also what makes a given diagnostic and treatment protocol available.

30 years ago you could be what is called autistic now, and you would have probably been diagnosed Asperger's, or "mentally retarded" actual words of the diagnosis.

For the Asperger's you would probably have been sent on your way, with an 80% chance of divorce, a 20-80% depending on who you trust higher chance of suicide than your neurotypical peers, and zero help. If you were "retarded" you would go on disability and into a group home if your parents couldn't take care of you until you died.

With an autism diagnosis you get treatment, and if you get enough early enough, a 50% chance of being indistinguishable from your neurotypical peers by adulthood.

So, you are right. It is much more about money than scientific taxonomy.

But we made the rules.

If doctors are following them to get best outcomes for their patients, aren't they doing their jobs?

So it comes down to our medical system being a mess.
Guess we're living very different lives on the same web. "do not have any business in." is not something I'm familiar with on the web, as the part of the web I love is the one without borders. But each to their own :)
>Cui estimated that, given the water-based battery’s expected lifespan, it would cost a penny to store enough electricity to power a 100-watt lightbulb for twelve hours.

Oh dear, I hate university news "journalism" with a passion. For the life of me I cannot understand why they feel the need to dumb down parts of the content while other parts remain decidedly technical. Is it to have something that laymen can quote? In this example, it's not clear how long the storage would be, but presumably overnight? It would make much more sense to compare the expected price to existing solutions, and/or the current price of electricity.

"empty fields" are nexessary ecosystems, however. Why not leave them alone?

On the flip side, not everyone wants to live in high-density housing. Why not also require single-family homes to have solar?
The first flights were more risky than later ones. They made improvements. But there were many close calls (including main engine failure).

But SpaceX necessarily WILL be safer because they're using a proven vehicle and a more robust capsule. Plus a launch abort system. Shuttle flew crewed on the very first launch.
I sure hope the 16th century is not the standard of safety for the 21st. Who cares what risks Magellan took? Should the standards of medical practice and sanitation from the 16th century also be applied now?

There's a deep moral responsibility to respect life, and a calculation about benefit from the risk. Getting other people killed for your benefit is wrong. As a society, we need to do everything possible to protect them. The benefits are exciting, but not worth saving money on cheaper fuel.
I'm the owner of the website (just made an account but @consp can confirm). Basically my webhosting provider didn't like all the traffic despite me having bought extra bandwidth. I'm hoping to get it fixed tomorrow

Israel mandated roof top solar water heaters for a while (since 1980 according to [0], but essentially every building built since 1960 or so has one). It's relatively cheap, pays for itself in 3-5 years, and is carbon neutral. This stores energy as hot water, not using PV panels (such as those discussed in the article). A relatively small panel per apartment is sufficient.

I do not claim that the California directive is sensible, but it is worth comparing to a somewhat similar directive that has been in place for 40 years with great effect - reducing grid energy production by 8%, saving everyone money (if the article is to be trusted), and only being a minor eye sore ....

We founded Stadia Maps because we believe maps shouldn't be difficult to implement or expensive.

A client was struggling with Google Maps limits and pricing, and we saw a need for simple map services with even simpler pricing. With the recent announcements from Google Maps and others, we see that this is even more important than we initially realized.

We believe maps should serve the customer, not the map provider. Some mapping providers display maps with competitors to your business, reviews (that may be fraudulent), or their own logos alongside your data. We believe a well-designed base map is all you need to allow you data to shine. As we expand, we will continue to focus on putting your company and data first.

That's just the beginning; we are working on several simple tools to help business owners and developers utilize maps in their web and mobile applications. Ultimately, we want to enable others to create fantastic mapping experiences.

How

- We strive to provide fairly priced and transparent plans.

- We provide beautiful themes for a variety of contexts.

- We never track[0] or sell user data.

- We never display reviews or potential competitors (“related” businesses) alongside your data.

- We never display ads on your map.

- We are working on JS libraries to make interactive map design suck less.

Major update for Google Sheets with the addition of “Macro” feature
If the sublime folk offered a “bug fix only” monthly subscription, I’d buy that. My grandfather went through a half day’s paycheck of tooling a month on his own dime. I figure bug fixes are the software equivalent of sharpening chisels, buying new bits, surfacing a mill, etc.
My wife is a veterinarian, and gets bit by dogs more often than cats.

I like it for curation of articles I'd otherwise not likely find (esp. ones that aren't new, which makes it feel like a temporally separate newsfeed).

I also like the general distaste for clickbait, markety bullshit,etc. I guess in that respect, it's like all the brains you'd expect from silicon valley with very little of the Kool Aid.

Well, I suppose that'll be a choice for the astronauts, just as it was for Nasa astronauts.
You probably need better than a 1500 these days. Closer to 1600. For what it's worth, I got a 1500 out of 1600 with a 4.0 and went to my safety (My EC's were nonexistent and never applied to Stanford though..)
You’re overstating the two options here. The choices might be to pay or see ads, but there is NOTHING requiring them to be “intrusive”. They weren’t intrusive in printed magazines, and publishers survived. Over-engineered attention-stealing data-hungry tracking ads are something invented in the Internet age, and I see absolutely no reason at all to include any of those features in the other option.
Garbage incinerators with CO2 capture and geological storage; that is a net CO2-negative process, and you can recover energy in the form of domestic heating, too. This is not a fantasy technology; everything needed to do this already exists and can be purchased. An extra bonus is that you also vastly reduce the pollution problems associated with landfills.
Thanks for posting. HA is a paid feature of GitLab and will likely stay a paid feature.

We're working hard on a cloud native alternative to the docker container that works well on Kubernetes. There is more information on https://gitlab.com/charts/gitlab/ and you can see the activity on https://gitlab.com/charts/gitlab/commits/master Since it is cloud native I assume it will allow autoscaling and it neatly orders every component in its own container.

Today GitLab is using a lot of RAM and the best way to reduce that is to make the application server multithreaded https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3592 The first priority is to add rubocop rules for https://github.com/covermymeds/rubocop-thread_safety There is a WIP merge request in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/1899 Any help is appreciated.
Yeah, I don't see the reason besides "I don't like it" either.

If the problem is access to files, then they could just have a free converter tool to some standard format.
Not only that, but there's also a bunch of ground crew that are at risk if there's a rocket explosion while crew are being loaded. So two or three times as many people can die, none of which will have access to a LAS for a while.
The experiment I'm talking about is to understand parasite host dynamics in microgravity and also to validate some cool new life sciences hardware for the ISS (and I thought I remembered something about radiation exposure from talking to the PI, but I don't see it in the press release, so maybe not). It's pretty interesting, but I still question whether it'd be worth decreasing safety parameters.

This is a press release about the upcoming experiment: https://www.nasa.gov/ames/research/space-biosciences/mvp-spa...
This cat-and-mouse game is absurd.
Atlassian has such a pricing scheme. Pay x amount per year for the cloud version, x-x/10 for the self hosted license and half that amount yearly for updates and continued support. Of course you can still use the license without updates and support. The <10 user license is almost always $10 so that the entry bar is set low, other licenses are much more expensive (>100x) with price going down with numbers until you hit the datacenter versions which are priced differently. I think it's very flexible and covers just about every use case.

Thread ID != process ID.

Java 9 has introduced an API to get the process ID but before that, there was no defined way to get it, though it is accessible in a roundabout way via the JMX API, but even then it is not guaranteed. JNI would be another alternative.
The more people pay you the more they value your product/service.

The more people pay you the better they treat you, cheapskates are the worst customers.
The problem with this argument is that we know what happened when humans met trusting animals: we ate them to extinction. So probably the horse’s ancestors were pretty fierce.

Before cars, when horses were the typical mode of transportation, they were quite dangerous too. I haven't done research to quantify it, but I've noticed while reading random articles on historical people in Wikipedia, that quite a few died falling off a horse.
