Amazon's response isn't too outrageous. I completely agree that it is unfair to the consumer, but it isn't unheard of. Unless those k-cups are a monopoly owned by Amazon, they can't really regulate prices for them. If gas prices rise, I can't call the CEO of Exxon to bring them down. Same thing applies for Uber Surge pricing. That's just how our economy works these days.
Hmm... insightful and relevant but non-threatening. i know (s)he started an AI/ML vertical that’s kinda sorta hush hush (yeah like its goin somewhere). So, How about

‘Recent market trends show a big boost and renewed interest in AI and predictions in <insert domain here> area. Do you see this as an opportunity and what steps are we taking in that direction?’
This is why -generally- there is a period after the domain expires in which it is locked and cannot be purchased by anyone other than the previous owner. Just in case someone tries to squat. There are a few registrars that do this. I've seen it (squatting) happen more to small businesses, because even if their site it showing the landing page they might not notice it until a month later and by then it has been released and squatted. Bigger companies with lots of traffic would usually get a notice from a customer or internal employee that the site is down. This is my experience at least.
This is so true. Less true for me since I have my credit card email me about every transaction, and every time I get one I must decide if I wish to keep that subscription.

Here's an idea for a business. Monitor customers credit card transactions for subscriptions, and do bulk negotiation with the service provider to knock down the price based upon how much service the customer is actually using. Take 10% of the savings.

Each time one of these subscription payment emails arrives, the user would be shown a few extra buttons: 1. cancel my subscription, 2. Offer service $X/month to keep me as a customer, 3. No change.

Just the "one click cancel" would be useful, but the "get me a better price" should be real popular.
Damn. Not for Firefox though. Can't find it at least.

Looks great otherwise!
I have done this.

Yeah, here in Scottsdale too, I think they are way bigger and way older than all the others, I guess they have more killing power.
Like Pollan says, the magic mushroom and its psylocibin is a happy medium of the psychadelic effect. I had a trip years ago, and the insights and shift out of everyday thinking was so valuable that I still treasure the experience, and would recommend it to anyone.

Steve Jobs on psychedelics:

> "Throughout that period of time [1972-1974] I used the LSD approximately ten to fifteen times," Jobs said. "I would ingest the LSD on a sugar cube or in a hard form of gelatin. I would usually take the LSD when I was by myself. I have no words to explain the effect the LSD had on me, although, I can say it was a positive life-changing experience for me and I am glad I went through that experience." On another occasion, he found some more words to describe the impact:

> "Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s﻿ another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could."
Podcast interview with Breaker Audio CEO (Erik Berlin)
So we get to the actual root of the problem. Instead of dismissing climate change as an "elitist" concern and demonizing any measures to combat it as "anti-poor" and "anti-development" maybe we should talk about treating the root cause - entrenched interests pushing their interests to the detriment of society's.
Side note: what a horrible standard of comment quality here. This should be about 3 sentences, not hundreds of words. This is why hacker news is ridiculous.
Artists can also often work in isolation, especially someone already regarded as a genius. I suspect plenty of people have a tendency towards eccentric behavior, but suppress it because they need to participate in society in order to survive. A genius engineer for example is less able to be wildly eccentric, because an engineer is inherently dependent on others and depends on others to implement their designs.

Another example is the stereotypical eccentric mathematical genius, of which there are endless examples. Pure math shares something with art here, in that a single gifted person can produce important results independently. I mean, I'm having a hard time coming up with very many examples of famous mathematicians who weren't a bit strange.
You can add "species" at the front of your second list.
There’s a theme here. Everyone sees your comment as an attack, or at best in very poor taste, but you. Your replies have only cemented that view. Sounds like OP isn’t the only one that needs help.
I've heard all possible permutations (Laurel, Yanny, neither, and both) depending on the putative source. All on the same machine. Compression and transcoding might be a bigger variable than psycho-acoustics or age.
Health insurance or insurance in general is a low margin business, and whatever margin they have is mostly through investing the premiums they collected before paying it out in claims. Most insurers pay more in claims than they get in premiums making up the losses with their investment, that's because they price their policies to undercut competitors that might not have access to such a large pool of money. So you can see how a newcomer can have hard time becoming a profitable insurance business.
Rails 5.2 fixes query caching in MySQL and PostgreSQL adapters
I write a blog in Turkish. I write about current affairs and also other subjects that interests me. Once in a while I fall into Ecclesiastes type of borderline nihilism and I say to myself "Why write at all; all is vain; all is for naught." Then I stop writing for a while. I reason that writing is academic; it is useless. It changes nothing. It is so much better to do something useful like programming or building something and selling it. But now after reading the comments here I see that Tom Wolfe's writing changed so many people's life! In a positive way. Of course, it's a different thing that one needs to write well at that level. But it seems that writing is not that useless after all.
Arrrgh, so that's what that is about. I thought I'd imagined things when I added an item slightly lower in price than the other sellers, and free shipping, I almost placed the order before realizing I was about to pay ~10 in shipping (on a free shipping order) needless to say I didn't go thru with the transaction and ordered form a different seller.

AMZ better cut this nonsense out right quick. It's annoying.

On a side note, I also dislike how for some items they want to put you on a recurring order. Almost did that a couple of times --and now I'm careful when clicking to read the button.

These things are very customer unfriendly.
These things can change how you think permanently, for better or for worse.
Show HN: Dynamic SNI config based TLS terminator
Re-Coding Black Mirror Part IV
* Supports both RSA and ECDSA certificates for domains it proxies requests.
* Favors ECDSA over RSA based key exchange based on ciphers listed in ClientHello.
* Hot loads SNI configuration every 30 mins.
* ECDSA performance is comparable to that of NGINX. RSA not so much.
Feedback appreciated!!
This application doesn't make the current legal system obsolete! I don't envision anyone using Stochastic to do a multi-million dollar contract at least for the foreseeable future!

We are not doing an ICO, we are not even holding people's Bitcoin we only hold part of the keys to a contract, how can you consider this application a fraud, it's currently free to use. We may add paid features later on but it's free right now.

I agree with you on the topic of code is law can be a bad thing. But it can also have some positive aspects, like removing trusted 3rd parties!
We are using Bitcoin Script, which unlike Solidity (Ethereum's smart contract language) it is very dumb, very strict and limited for the exact reason you stated.

the main difference is length of interaction. With work/school the people in your social circle will be there for years, for better or worse. Friends made while travelling tend to be more ephemeral.
> He says what he did, and what was done back in the 50s and 60s before it became illegal, was to have an experienced therapist check his mental health, describe what was likely to happen, and give him guidance on how to deal with what he experienced. He then took the substance(s) and was guided by this professional while he had his experience. Then there was a debriefing where they went over what he experienced.

I cannot in any way see how prohibition creates more safety compared to this.

The substances are available to anyone with persistence and a few dollars. The guidance, knowledge, and systematic approach to navigating the space they provide is gone.

I don’t see how this is helpful.
I had a similar experience too, but I'm not positive whether it's based entirely on perception (which is certainly possible) or some kind of bug in the demo. It would be nice to save individual Ogg files at particular points on the continuum and try more of a blind test to see how much influence there is from what we've just heard before. (I guess I could generate those myself easily enough with sox or something...)

In what way is life bigger than that? You'll be dead in the blink of an eye relative to any meaningful timescale. And so will everybody and everything you know. All that will be left is what you create and leave behind.

Okay for some this is children, but that's hardly a legacy in many cases. You have greatness born to fools and fools born of greatness, so in the end you're just leaving your mark as a roll of the dice which is hardly unique in any case.

But what we create and help bring to light are things that can reshape and redirect humanity, changing our path forever.

I hope it comes to Canada. I'm willing to pay to remove commercials from YouTube. I don't really care about the extra shows, etc., I just want to be able to remove the ads. $12/mth is worth it for me.
AI as a bunch of if else statements is a very 80 centrics view of current AI.

My computer vision professor has us read a current paper every week. He really really dislikes the use of deep learning and has said in class he tries to look for papers that don't use it.

But nearly all of the current papers are using it and he admits every week that the papers he presents are blowing old research out the water using it. Throwing a bunch of GPUs and image data at a problem is surprisingly effective for a lot of problems that were previously extremely difficult. He begrudgingly admits this every week, but he does continue to find papers that get slightly better results by combining deep learning with traditional computer vision techniques. I think he is right in that there probably is a peak quickly approaching where data/augmented data with zero previous knowledge will peak with the current black box approach, but cutting edge currently is definitely not a lot of if-else statements.

I find this very interesting because I had precisely the opposite reaction once when I tried psylocibin. Despite being pretty solidly materialist and agnostic, I'd always held a bit of a soft spot for Cartesian duelism and a bit of a "but it'd be cool if..."

What I didn't expect was that the effects wouldn't just "feel real" or "be convincing", they were real. Subjectively, it wasn't inside my head, it was the actual world that changed. The fact that a small amount of psychoactive substance could fundamentally alter my perceived reality put the final nail in the coffin for any possibility that my mind was generated by something outside my own skull.
My understanding is that while correct that is was the Soviet Union, it was mostly in Ukraine SSR. Could you comment?
Capturing the lunar crescent at the exact moment of the new moon
“Economically productive” isn’t a subjective interpretation. It’s what produces the most money. In a society we tax productivity and use the revenue collected to run services that lift up those at the bottom. More money is available for redistribution when we are collectively more productive. Suppressing productivity in the name of fairness is highly satisfying to a large contingent of politically active folks who are passionate about it, but better outcomes can usually be purchased with the tax revenue it brings.

Case in point: neighborhoods that are proud of themselves for thwarting evil developers in the name of affordability end up with fewer affordable units, because we fund affordable units as a percentage of total construction.
You'll be amazed at this one simple trick of already knowing what they're about to say because the headline's already told you!
That is also my motivation.

In Labeling Coffee a Carcinogen, California Leaps Ahead of the Science
The world would be a better place if everyone ate magic mushrooms in the wilderness on a camping trip as part of outdoor ed. in school.

If you've never experienced it, you probably won't understand.
I’m sorry you had to see such an awful comment. I’ve been in your situation, and it will get better. Even if it doesn’t feel like it will.

Some solid actionable items have been suggested by others in terms of finance, but as far as health goes, get to a psychiatrist immediately. Even without insurance, paying cash will likely be around $300. Generic prescriptions can be picked at numerous places for very cheap. I believe wal-mart still sells most generics for $4 for a month supply.

An anti-depressant won’t cure you but it will speed up the process of recovery dramatically by buying you the time to dig yourself out of the hole.
At that point hopefully you’ll have enough energy to begin to improve your overall health, e.g. exercise and diet. These are usually the first things you should do, unless you’re in the psycho-motor-retardation phase it sounds like you’re describing. In which case meds first.
I think it’s certainly possible that it brought you out of your depressive state.

LSD-25 will show you certain truths within yourself and your subconscious; these truths can be negative or positive in nature. It took me months to fully integrate the experience, though. I’d argue the integration period after the trip is as important as the trip itself.

That's quite fascinating. I found there was quite a lot of hysteresis. Initially I heard "laurel"; I moved the slider to the right slowly, and eventually it changed to "yanny". Then I moved it slowly back to the left, and it took about 1 1/3 ticks before it changed back to "laurel". Finally I found a point where I could consciously choose which one I heard, which was interesting.
Neuroscience shows listening to music has kind of the same effect as meditation
My guess would be that, because gelatin is the shorter form of the polymer (not entirely sure on that one, but it makes sense to me) it lends itself to manipulation much easier. So while it's weaker, it's going to be easier to work with to make something viable for a prototype. It might also be that it made the release of the eggs easier to design in to the artificial organs.
Climate Extremes Are Putting Species in Sync – And in Danger
Not giving a fuck isn't the same as apathy. Today I spent an hour waiting for some poor chap to repin a simple lock at the hardware store - I didn't give a fuck that he was a bit clueless and flying by the seat of his pants - but if someone scammed me tomorrow I would absolutely jump into action.

There are things that don't matter (someone a bit clueless working earnestly) and things that do (scammers, violence, etc). The goal is to differentiate and respond appropriately.

If code is not law, how does it remove 3rd parties? Every “code contract” of any real importance is going to be “exploited” because, again, all code has bugs and unhandled cases. Meaning a contract for anything real will wind up in some kind of human-needing state.

Sorry, smart contacts are pretty worthless. The only real use ethereum has is for creating ICOs, which are all scams. You could argue that ethereum is a world class platform for running scams. How will this be anything different? If the language is bastardized so it is not Turing compete and is thus impossible to build anything complex, what point does it have?
Ah, it sounds like we are on the same page after all. I mistook what you said for something I've occasionally seen other people say, that a transpiler is not a compiler. My apology for the misunderstanding.
I'm sorry, no. IIRC, it was with a corp account --order quite a bit of things, so I can't recall what in particular it was. But has stuck in my mind.

Suitability for conversion to freighter service was actually one of the original design goals for the 747! But back then, the assumption was that passenger airlines would be transitioning not to twinjets but to supersonic planes.
First, personal preferences aside, I'm sure that the team would have worked hard on the redesign so congratulations on launching that!

Second, while I appreciate the opt-out option, is it here to stay or is it a fallback mode until the entire site is flipped over to the redesign? I can't imagine the former being the case - having two teams maintain two fundamentally different UIs doesn't seem viable in the long run. If so, to what extent is the rollout of the redesign influenced by the number of people opting out or the opt-out feedback?
makes sense...economical decision.
You got it all backwards. What you think is a crack in sanity is actually a crack in the illusion that the physical world is all there is.

But to each their own.
As a counter anecdote, I bought a prime item on a Monday and didn't receive it till the following Monday. When I contacted Amazon they told me that prime just garunteed that shipping would take 2 days, not that they would ship it in 2 days and as they had shipped it on Thursday they would do nothing for me
Meh.

Linux and BSD build systems deal with most of these issues usually with wide support of a variety of recursive makes. Though RPM, DEB honestly suck and never really tried to solve issues automatically. Still drives me nuts that packages are tainted by the 'gold' systems they are built on. The complexity of build systems means very few minds are up for it and most solutions are naive and end up with tons of patchy exceptions and work arounds.

ROCK Linux supported cross compiler capabilities and auto-detection of build parameters and dependency library tracking. (I was working on automated dependency ordering and QEMU based full cross builds, before I got a real job.) It was very robust and outside package developers breaking their own builds it worked solidly. No idea what cool things T2 Linux got up to after ROCK, but maintaining a fresh build system is hard. Build systems are always going to be fragile systems with complexity. The paper seems to be a survey of what they learned vs. definitely having any solution.
I might be old school but it always seems very dubious for me to rely on a web server controled by who the f... know for such basic task that can be done more efficiently offline.

And also why is it free? Can we be sure the service won’t store every image send? Would be a nice way to gather free real word training example for a neural network so it can learn what frame contain nothing useful and what frame contain login/password. Because we can be sure that someone WILL send out login/password while network protocol will gladly be giving their good old IP adresse along...
When the dollar amount goes up they are less than helpful. I was forced to dispute a $4888 purchase with my credit card at one point because they refused a return. Took over six months with the back and forth, bank being incompetent, etc, but eventually I won.
The simpler response is: selling counterfeit items is inherently a higher-margin business than selling the legitimate version of the same items.

With a transparent random access overlay, the difference mostly disappears, reducing to whether the stream needs to be scanned or whether it's indexed, which is itself orthogonal - zip file directory at the end is redundant.
To a limited extent large retailers like Amazon and Walmart actually can lose money on every transaction and make it up in volume. By delaying payments to their suppliers they get 2 - 3 months of float and can earn extra income by investing that capital. Of course in today's low interest rate environment it isn't much, but at their scale it adds up.
