This is more of an exploration than an explanation but it seems like you're pointing to the threshold of success in a series of experiments.

As deyan mentioned in physics or chemistry, we get a high level of certainty after isolating all the variables. When it doesn't go according to plan, it's a known or unknown variable to blame.

It seems to me that behavioral psychology is still in its infancy in terms of identifying those variables and/or the threshold of Truth is much lower than sciences like chemistry.

Lots of patterns exist that have lower thresholds. Sports analogies are fairly illustrative. Hitters in baseball are considered great if they succeed 3 times out of 10. Then again, they run 500+ experiments a year (for hopefully many years) to determine their average...

I agree with your conclusion that experiments needed to be repeated more over time. I simply wonder what type of success threshold we will look at as the Truth in time.

I think the problem is the product itself. I bought it online, wasn't that cheap, and wasn't that useful.

And, by that, I don't mean that the product isn't good (it is), doesn't fulfill the purpose (it does), but it just will not be used in that many situations. Sometimes you'll fix the broken thing with commodity glue, sometimes with duct tape, and all those cost less than Sugru.

Just show up - I started this last year going to the gym - if I didn't feel like going to work out, I just went to the gym and messed around, did whatever I felt like, even for 15 or 20 minutes and then left. The discipline has translated into other projects - a camper reno, a game engine, etc. Just showing up is more than half the battle, even if you don't accomplish much on one given day.

Netflix has spent A LOT of time and money on their infrastructure, expounding their engineering views, proclaiming best practices, and how they use redundancy/sharding/insert best practices and major buzzwords in order to combat the chance of this happening.

I'm a huge fan of Netflix and their approaches to infrastructure, and I'm almost certain that they'll have some very interesting conclusions from this.

Validation, acceptance, endorsement, and promotion have murky boundaries. Validation and acceptance are key components to a healthy outcome after a painful experience. It can go too far, and endorsement and promotion can mutate a viewpoint until it culminates as an obsession.

Recovery, however, is hardly ever a straight path. Sometimes people get stuck. Sometimes, people shift their viewpoint to something else that's extreme and unhealthy. In the grand scheme of things, this journey lasts our entire lifetime.
Personal anecdote...depends on your age. I'm near sighted (blind as a bat since my teens) and up until I was ~45'ish still had perfect 20/20 near sight vision. Up close I could read the tiniest of print and perform tasks and repairs on very small assemblies (I'm talking sub-millimetre PCB work and modelling). As I've gotten older this has gotten harder and these sorts of tasks now demand the use of a magnifying glass. This could probably be corrected with the use of varifocal lenses but for now I get on fine with a magnifier.

Apropos the Lasik treatment, in my early 20's vanity got the better of me and I wore contact lenses for a time. There were also practicality reasons because I'm a biker and ruined several pairs of glasses trying to stuff the legs into my helmet. Anyway, I contracted an eye infection which over the period of a month affected both eyes and could have resulted in loss of sight in one eye. The doc reckoned I'd picked this up from the lenses despite me being totally anal about keeping them clean. I never wore contacts again. Despite the annoyance sometimes of having to wear eyeglasses, my eyesight even with its less than perfect capabilities, is too valuable a sense to lose. Despite all the Lasik success stories it bothered me enough that I might just be that unlucky sod it doesn't work on and could end up worse just for the sake of convenience and vanity.
Of course this would not work.

typeof(true) is of type 'Boolean' and typeof(1) is of type 'number'.

Do they compare to the same type? Nope, therefore is false in both cases.

Try the following:

true === foo === true; // returns true.
There exists a notion of "computable analysis", based on the delightful fact that Turing machines (or other Turing-complete enumerable computers) can be viewed as computing real numbers. These so-called computable reals are a little limited, but still usable for most tasks [0].

It is the technology update from last (2017) first-solar analyst day. Page 4. Key part for the duck curve discussion is that there is a big duck curve on a low load day in May but no such duck curve on a high load day in August.

Then they talk about how their solar is starting to be dispatchable (market wise) by curtailing production. I.e. if they commit to sell 80% of their production then 20% of it becomes available as dispatch able power. That only makes sense if the solar power is cheap enough. Which it is does in some situations in some markets.

Because GP wanted to eat food without added sugars and complained that he could only snack carrots and hummus. Apples, last I checked, have no added sugar.

Also,your mileage may vary but I'm not sure that fruits should be very high on the list of food to avoid when you're trying to eat healthier. Ketogenic diet, sure, but that's not what this subthread is about. Fruits are good for you. Skip the hotdog instead.

I repaired a tablet case with Sugru and replaced the worn feet at the bottom of my Macbook with it. I also reinforced several cables with Sugru to prevent breaks. Overall I'm pretty happy with the product, but I don't have many problems where Sugru is useful. It's too expensive to make bigger things out of it and small repairs just don't happen too often.

Speaking of misleading, your Bill Gates analogy is quite misleading too. These figures about new electric power are sums over a quarter-year, so small statistical fluctuations like finding a penny (or opening a single power plant) are smoothed out. To complete the analogy, if Bill Gates' biggest source of new wealth this quarter and last quarter were finding pennies, that would be quite a big deal, because over that period he would have to find hundreds of thousands of tons of them - more than doubling US zinc production in the process.

Nothing life changing:

Learned the "Relax and Win" by Bud Winters relaxation technique and try to apply it when going to bed. The idea is that there was an army study during WW2 to teach soldiers to fall asleep in 2 minutes in a trench under artillery fire. I find that it falls far short of that claim, but the basic premise is just a relaxation technique with the typical "relax all muscles, clear your thoughts" and it seems to work fairly well.

Step ups - I can do pistol squats but with bad form, so I started stepping up on an progressively higher ledge and going down with control. Best exercise I have picked up in ages. I don't feel nearly as much control with heavy squats, etc.

> one's aim

Who's the "one" here? I mean, that's simply not how our current civilisation works in terms of "aims" in any collective sense. We're a long way from the central planning comittee erecting a Dyson sphere.

Realistically, the objective of various political bodies is to avoid global warming catastrophe in the medium term, while taking into account the irreducible political constraints and limits to planning. Rooftop solar through subsidies is easier, because suddenly you've recruited an army of people to handle the permitting and the process is simpler. Whereas to build utility-scale solar you need to spend a year or more arguing over it before breaking ground.

I assume that by "InfoSphere" you mean what used to be called IBM InfoSphere Streams, but what is now just IBM Streams. I do research and development on IBM Streams (see a sibling comment), and I can say with certainty that it was designed as a distributed, parallel stream processing system from the start. It is a more general computing platform than CEP engines - in fact, we actually implemented a CEP engine as a Streams operator.

Product documentation for the operator: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSCRJU_4.2.0/com...

Silicon Valley has a problem with conservatives. But not the political kind
I joined a startup 5 years ago as a CTO for 10% equity.

Fast forward 5 years. We merged with another company and we got 60% out of that merge. So then I moved to 6% equity.

Then we raised $15m in various rounds. My equity is now at about 3%.

In our last round we were valued at $20m. Well, all the investors have preferential pay back rights.

My equity is fully vested. If we sell for $20m today I will make a grand total of $97,000. If we sell for $30m it would be $397,000 and at $40m it would be $697,000. To bring our valuation from where it is today to $40m will take a few more years and be pretty difficult.

So I personally advise you not to join a startup and instead start a small side project and take a large salary at an established company. It's actually easier to make that level of money over 5 years even with a moderately sucessfull side project and large salary.
I agree with you and you could even make another argument. It could also be that people these days spend more on experiential activities than physical goods and both child rearing and home ownership are suffering as a consequence.

Correlation studies are fun but hardly informative.
Learned how to cook easy dishes for my family. My wife and I for years went all out on cooking stovetop dishes that take an hour or more of chopping and other kitchen labor before the meal and another 30-45 minutes of cleanup afterwards.

Exposure to Spanish dining habits on a vacation, use of time-saving tools such as an electronic pressure cooker and rice cooker, and learning how to use an oven for simple dishes really changed things for us.

>they have no incentive at all to spend the money wisely

This is very obviously not correct

>Further, when discussing politics, giving money to politicians leads to corruption, kickbacks, and other waste.

Thus we should give no money to governments at all! What societies have flourished under this ethos in human history?

>Finally, politicians have shown time and again they are awful businessme

So are many businessmen! 9 of 10 startups fail. Humans are not good at things. The success of a project depends less on whether it is run by a government or a private enterprise, and more on who is running it and how good of a job they do. NASA landed men on the moon when computers were made of cheese, they have been landing robots on mars successfully more recently, the roads get built, we drive on them, europe is smashing atoms in a huge collider learning how the universe works, the police have kept order, the US military stopped the nazis.

There are so many ranging from quiting smoking to biking instead of driving, but the primary idea is this:

Think hard about the things you do and why you do them. Figure out what you need to change, then make one change at a time. Don't try to cut all sugar intake, just stop drinking soft drinks. After a while it's normal, cut something else. You'll slowly get more formidable.

But you need to think about it. Why are you eating a bunch of food with sugar in it anyway? Because it tastes bad otherwise? Well, what tastes good besides sugar? Spices and herbs! Salt, pepper, mint, olive oil, and lemon juice make a salad sing!

That type of thinking. Don't muddle in the shitty parts, solve them.

It's not the lone bureaucrat. Do you really think one guy is behind this? He had support from the industry, the media, politicians and the elites. If you haven't noticed, the elites ( not just in the US ) but in europe, china, russia, saudi arabia, etc have all worked hard to take control over the internet.

In the US, the battle has been going on for more than a decade. Look at how google search, youtube, reddit and even HN has changed. The last major holdout was facebook, but we've seen what happened to them. It wasn't by accident or because ordinary people wanted it. It's what the elites wanted. What the people want has never really mattered. Not in the US, not in europe, china, russia, etc.

And with the constant merging of content providers and ISPs, the internet will become more like TV for most people.

What's funny is how we had so much facebook spam here ( when it was really a non-story ) and so little coverage of such a monumentally important tech topic like net neutrality. I'm guessing between facebook and net neutrality stories only, facebook accounted for 99% and net neutrality accounted for 1% on HN.

One would think that "hacker" news would care about the important story and not political fluff. But hacker news hasn't been "hackerish" for a while now.

We should also "focus" on preventable myopia, which is so common, especially in Asia (For example, in Korea, 96% of younger population suffered from myopia, which is insane). If I have kids, I will make sure to let them play outside in the sun daily, in order to get enough exposure to the bright sunlight. As for me, I didn't get a lot of exposure to sun when I was in my early teens, when I developed myopia. I should've had more balanced lifestyle, instead of spending all my time playing with C64 in my room. I don't think it was hereditary because both of my parents and my siblings had normal vision. I was the only one in my family to wear glasses.

The cost was too high. At $12 USD for a package, it passed my threshold of spontaneous purchase. Silicon tape, which is amazing stuff, is about half that price. Silicon tape is water tight, flexible, bonds to itself, and very versatile. Ultimately I never tried Sugru because more affordable alternatives could do the same job.
