It seems that this is fairly specific to certain types of chronic pain. In my case, I did my best to overlook, work around and ignore discomfort and pain for years, and that was a grave mistake. I was very good at it and suffered for a long time, over twice the average time that people go undiagnosed. The medical system also failed to accurately diagnose me several times when they had the chance. This delay in treatment may have created permanent nerve and digestive system damage that could have been avoided.

The Tetris Effect: How Everything You Do Shapes Your Reality
Reinforcement Learning – Introduction to Markov Decision Processes (MDPs)
I'm arguing from the point of view of a customer, not "slandering".
Customers are going to have a choice between GDPR-compliant companies and USA-only ones and (if they care) they are going to assume the worst about why the GDPR can make a company retreat from the EU market.

As far as the public understands that complying with a new law is expensive, and why GDPR compliance in particular is expensive, it is obviously more expensive for "bad" companies: don't expect the same compassion and tolerance with which other types of customer disappointments (e.g. raising prices) are received.
Your competitors who do not retreat from the EU are obviously caring more for customer privacy, and/or better organized, and/or less reliant on excessive data collection. They are not going to be considered stupid because they spend more than they should on doing the right thing.

You admit bad organization ("there are some areas where we would have to re-architect to gain full compliance"): not trying to comply with the GDPR is clearly not a "rather simple business decision", it's a decision to accept failure instead of losing even more money, and you aren't going to look good even if it's the rational choice in your situation.
Was that really the case? I believe you, I just don't recall hearing that.

I wonder how he was convinced.
I thought it would be about network proxies and Digital Subscriber Lines...

Why would you want to use this? I'm not sure.

Unfortunately one of the applications that immediately comes to mind is obfuscation.

I did a bit of JS work many years ago, before the whole "framework craze" and massive amount of churn started, and looking at the code written in it now, it almost feels like they're trying to compete on complexity with languages like C++.
MDPs are the core holistic framework for decision under uncertainty, especially pomdps and dec-pomdps. That and the various forms of the Bellman equation are with your attention. RL is a model free MDP.
Because most 18 year olds don’t think the entire financial system is designed to make them into financial slaves? Someone with authority says they are offering something good and smart for their situation so they believe them?
I would caution complete beginners from buying a telescope, because learning to set up and use a telescope might be too frustrating. I would recommend instead starting with a good pair of binoculars (mine are Nikon Action Extreme 10x50), which are powerful enough for you to find Messier objects. Searching for Messier objects will teach you how to identify constellations, read star maps, and how to scan the sky for faint objects. Learning the night sky will go a long ways toward teaching you how to set up and use a telescope.
Next, imagine that you have lost your job because you are so ill that you can’t work enough, and you also don’t have any insurance or savings. Since financial success usually requires hard work, which is mutually exclusive with poor health, the anguish and hardship of poverty very commonly comes in combination with serious illness.
> I might even go so far as to say that Cython is the most user-friendly way to write new pure C programs that there is.

Apart from my vehement disagreement with the claim above I am in violent agreement with the rest of you comment.

If I want_to / need_to write C or C++ I would rather write it in, well, C or C++. The reasons are many -- more mature tooling, deeper social knowledge, one less source of undocumented or unintended edge cases etc., etc.

But when I want to be in a Pythonic frame of mind, which is fairly often, and want to freeze the semantics of selected parts of the code to a C or C++ like statically typed semantics, Cython is really nice. With Cython I can choose to do this where I think the code will benefit from freezing the semantics. Often I dont have to rely too hard on my own thinking because the Cython compiler would identify those sections for me.
Did you file an A-z claim?

Hi Platz, MDPs are actually the basis that you should know towards creating the Bellman equations
So, I'm assuming you know this, but the theoretically optimal pixel reconstruction filter is the sinc function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinc_filter
For very high-quality work, I guess we have enough processing power to approximate sinc quite well these days. Is that what you mean by trying to get close to the Nyquist limit? The sinc filter does tend to introduce ringing artifacts.

Very high resolutions are now practical, too, which changes things a lot. Probably in favour of using filters which never introduce ringing artifacts, like the Gaussian.

(And things like the Lanczos or Mitchell filters exist as compromises between sinc and Gaussian.)
I was trying to use "actively" to express that his support went beyond merely opposing the war; the details are complicated, lengthy and the subject of numerous court actions, but here's a sample: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4016803.stm
Agreed. All the directors I have worked with have required multiple takes for certain scenes. The cost of an additional take is small and the reward of a better shot greatly outweighs that cost.
here is the editor's wikipedia page: https://everipedia.org/wiki/philip-cross-wikipedian/
Yes. I feel that, because of the currently constantly changing nature of hardware and software platforms, subscriptions are going to be the only way of sustaining a business. It’s no longer even software as a service, but software IS a service.

The only exceptions are situations where hardware and platforms change slowly or not at all. e.g. Single player video games (and even that is largely consoles), certain kinds of embedded, etc.

People are already becoming frustrated with all the subscriptions they have, though. People are “fine” with paying to maintain things like their home and car. The problem with software is that it doesn’t really “break” from use. Updating the platform and hardware around the software is what can break it. It would be like the pipes in your home are indestructible and never burst in winter, but they can explode when building codes update or the water treatment plant changes it’s equipment.

This is the sort of thing that worries me. Are we going to see a whole bunch of GDPR trolls show up and try to extort businesses for money?
As the old saying goes, "Sheep are freer than human beings because they get to think whatever they want, just as long as the stay with the herd." [Whereas we have to herd even with our thoughts.]
I use Enpass for this, which uses any kind of regular cloud storage backend and has a fully-featured desktop client and browser fill plugins for free. The mobile clients cost money ($10 per platform, once) which I think makes perfect sense.
Not knowing much about your startup and where it is based and the user base that you are looking to tackle. Being in finance my company deals with GDPR and various other regulatory requirements, that doesn't mean you don't develop a product.

At least our taxes were used in a fun way. Closed meetings won’t produce any new memes.
LOL, but I bet you’re right!

I was just thinking about the relationship between gravity, and throwing & catching juggling balls vs. the weight of the balls. The apex height & number of balls determines the juggling frequency. Or, a frequency & number of balls determines the height. Fix any two, the third falls out.

Some important constraints are that holding a weight in your hand reduces your acceleration, and that at a fixed juggling frequency, doubling the number of balls requires a 4x increase in the apex height. (Shannon might say that channel capacity is proportional to the square root of apex height at a given juggling frequency).

In the video, Kalvan measures Barron shaking his arms twice as fast (without holding any weight), but appears to jump to the conclusion that it means he might be able to juggle twice as many balls. They speculate that accuracy might be the reason that Barron doesn’t achieve his physical potential. But since the weight of the balls slows down the max juggling frequency, and since adding more balls means throwing quadratically higher, Barron could be right, that it may require more strength than he has.

That mechanism is not built into the apple app store, which is why they cannot offer it.

A very basic thing to do here is to pay off your high interest loan first. Her payments seemed to have gone mostly to reducing the balance of the lower interest ones. She did manage to reduce her total balance by $26000 and that could have been used to eliminate the $24000 high interest loan (which would actually result in higher balance reduction overall as well since less money would have gone to paying interests). Is there some structural thing preventing her from paying off the high interest balance first or was she simply not aware of a better way?
It’s very hard to understand an unfamiliar codevase. The documentation doesn’t have to be super-fine grained, it just has to give a helping hand in understanding the high level design and use of the code. I can usually figure out api parameters, but that’s often not enough to use the code and certainly not enough to document it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m talking extremes here and I don’t expect a lot from someone’s passion project in terms of documentation effort, just a little helping hand if you want me to have a good experience (which is a prerequisite for me to care enough to contribute).
Yeah - I wonder what “in Apple’s favor” is supposed to mean in that sentence...
Wow. I have nothing to say except this is great. Especially the concept of library as a multifunctional "space of learning", beyond merely books, but also socialisation spaces, cinema, lectures and talks, a makerspace, etc. All built with a strong sense of community and participation.
I think this illustrates that apple's app store only serves apple's interests in the long term. If I happen to buy and use any Apple product, I'll go out of my way to avoid apple's supported methods to pay for my software.

University is mostly free in germany too (there's an administrative fee of ~200€ per semester). Those loans are just to cover living expenses so that everyone has a chance to study even when parents can't provide support.
I do. That actually seemed to add a great deal of absurdity to the situation. Doc was basically like "if it works use it, I have absolutely no problem; this would be one of the dumbest, ineffective, and most expensive way possible to do drugs recreationally".

The side-effect profile seemed a whole lot better than anything I'd tried, and it seemed far far easier to concentrate while it was doing its thing. It's also legal to travel with, and absolutely nobody seemed to know what it was by name.

Ask HN: What organizations' blogs do you read?
It could be with a view to learning what they are up to (e.g. new products or product updates, their thoughts on industry direction, or any other reason). I said organization rather than company, because it does not have to be a for-profit company, could be a non-profit.
> they're willing to give them up

Sure. But why are alternatives so scarce or difficult?

Because federal and state governments are going out of their way to attack any non-banklike means of converting fiat to cryptocurrency. From heavy regulation (see: New York) to arbitrary abuse of unrelated regulation in form of police action (localbitcoin sellers atttacked and jailed under KYC). This funnels people into players that are willing to bend over for the establishment like Coinbase.

I find it odd that they are still ignoring that English is not anymore an official EU language (Ireland chose Gaelic when they joined) and that French/German translation is no excuse for not providing at least one in Italian and Spanish (over a 100 million native speakers).
Selling targeted ads, targeting done by analysis of user data. According to FB: allowing user data to be leaked (which in turn allows for more directed individual targeting) was an oversight.
I have some sort of condition that makes me unable to swallow solid food - after I swallow it. We don’t know what it is yet. It is similar to achalasia or diffuse esophageal spasm. It could be from damage from celiac, or it could be it’s own thing. I don’t have the insane immune reactions to food anymore, which caused most of my fatigue, but I still have constant pain, headaches, regurgitation after eating. I’m slowly starving because I simply cannot eat enough food to stay healthy, which leaves me very low in energy. I’m now just barely at a healthy weight, at 18 BMI.

There is something called refractory celiac, which is permanent digestive damage. My mother had that and much of her small bowel had to be excised. I may have that issue. I’ve recently been to the hospital and have a few biopsies pending.
Maybe that’s the reason the US rank higher in democracy index than the main EU countries.
it will screw you when you don't expect it. At our work we needed to profile drives (SSD, HDD) with workloads and one of our engineers wrote a disk workload replay program in python. Our results kind of didn't make sense, until I top'd it and realized that we were getting 100% CPU usage, so our workloads were CPU bound and not disk bound, so they were totally meaningless.
> I feel the same way and I'm starting to look towards alternatives.

I graduated around the same time as the author, and I can't remember whether it was my loan provider (MyGreatLakes) or FAFSA, but I had to take a quick financial course online where every term in my student loans was spelled out: including interest rates, interest-only payments, amortization schedule, etc.

I'm surprised if this isn't standard, because it should be (with a refresher course every 6 months)

Yes, but it does a reasonable job of hiding it.
You laugh?

I guess it seems strange, but that’s quite a lot of money to some people. Totally justifiable that you wouldn’t find it worth the time... but some have to economize or came from a background where they have to count every penny.

If someone says they chose a particular supplier because it was 4USD cheaper, that’s a reasonable decision and not reason to ridicule them.

Aside from using biometrics, which makes it much easier, you might consider using a long passphrase as the master password. A passphrase is easier to remember and to type than random characters. It’s what I do, and it’s pretty easy to type without mistakes on mobile too.
Google PHB: How can be bring in more data from the real world that we can analyze, categorize, and monetize?

10 years is a long time. Over its lifetime, Apple has changed the Mac's CPU architecture every 10 years. (They've been on Intel for 11 years now, the longest of any, but there's been rumors of another migration for a couple years now.) Needing to support Mac software for 10 years, then, means supporting your users through an architecture change.

There's probably not much platform-specific code in a password manager, but what are the odds it'll work perfectly under their next emulator, or that you can take such an old codebase and just recompile? 10 years ago, the old "pbproj" format was still supported, but the last Xcode that could open them was Xcode 3 (requires OS X 10.5 or 10.6).

Less than 10 years passed between the last Apple IIe sold by Apple and the first PowerMac G5. Or the last Newton to the first iPhone. Or the original Apple I to the Macintosh II. That timescale has big generational changes, and I don't agree that it's realistic for third-party developers to support software that long at no extra cost.
Out of curiosity, is their any consideration to run-time gen and compilation followed by dynamic loading? There would obviously be UX to startup time tradeoff involved..

I'm not sure how most languages tackle high performance json encoding/decoding, but I have seen a few .Net implementations that take advantage of the JIT to gain performance while providing a more seamless library consumer experience.
A relative of mine is currently attending university who decided to blow a $50k college fund on TWO years of a four-year degree. I didn't even pay that much for four years (this was 10 years ago). A lot of the younger generation don't care because they don't have to pay anything now, so they'd rather go to a school they can brag to their friends about.

Great advice to start with binoculars because you may find that actually seeing things through a lens isn't magical compared to TV images or internet images of the same thing; or discover that seeing Saturn once fer real is enough. Plus you may find it gets cold at night. I did.

> There are at least two elements to software maintenance: one is adding truly new features, and the other is making stupid changes just to keep old features working as they always did (often due to platform or hardware changes, especially with Apple!).

I'm OK with the model that VMware is using, at least on the Mac.

You buy version X, you have version X. Version X gets updates for some amount of time. Eventually, a Mac OS upgrade makes version X no longer work, so you have to pay an upgrade price to upgrade to version Y. There is no subscription, but there is regular income to the company to make the updates you describe.

The high interest loan was for her last year of school. She has indicated that there was no alternative. Of course it would have been better to arrange for all financing before she started school but that would have taken some foresight. I wouldn't blame her for taking the loan in the senior year. It is not a matter of simple calculus as you said -- it is strictly worse to not take the loan and quit school at that moment.

Add: Please consider the possibility that not knowing when you start school that you may need a high interest loan as a senior in order to finish school is an example of information asymmetry.
I think delivery is over-rated. Amazon's disruption was more a product of access to the long tail than delivery. Delivery was just a byproduct of that access. It was important because the choice was not between local shopping and delivery but between delivery and not having it (Amazon's price also played a role in "not having it").

Groceries are like pizza. Pickup is a viable option because sometimes it is more convenient...twenty versus sixty minutes (hopefully) before eating.
If you're on Android 8 or above (yes, I know most people aren't) there's support for password managers filling passwords in almost any app. Some apps aren't well built and don't support it. As far as I can tell, it's not something the developer has to explicitly enable support for though.

Anyways, I use the Bitwarden app on my S8 (and previously HTC 10) and it works great. I tap a password field, Android asks me if I want to fill the password, I unlock my "vault" with my fingerprint, and tap the right account for that app. It's pretty easy.

LastPass and Bitwarden also can hook into accessibility features on Android 7, to enable most of the same features, but since it's not part of Android and baked in it doesn't work quite as well.
