Yes, somehow I managed to lose half my body weight and keep it off despite a setback from a failed experiment without every knowing how to count calories or properly measure things in a kitchen.

What is it with talking about health and nutrition on the internet that makes everyone come out and offer their unsolicited advice that assumes the person they're speaking with is an idiot?

The signatures would've created a referendum to vote on it in November. Now there is no chance to vote on it. Also, the city council is voted in by the people as representatives -- it's literally how our "democracy" works.

Canvassers even lied to people to get them to sign. No surprise from scummy business owners like Saul Spady of Dicks Burgers who now enjoys a booming restaurant industry after campaigning AGAINST the $15 min wage. That guy is truly a dick.

Isn’t there a chance a subsequent administration could “reinstate” net neutrality? If so what’d that mean for Comcast, AT&T, etc.? Or are there ways such a move could be blocked?

The name is technically correct. Autopilot on planes is an assistive technology. The problem is there is a common misconception among the general public that it's beyond assistance and is partial automation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot

Furthermore, even if you're totally aware it's only assistance, there is a tendency to be more easily distracted. That's what a google study found like 5 years ago.

I am a huge Tesla fanboy, and stock holder. But be careful.. if you are struggling to remain vigilant... turn off autopilot.
The author seems to have a been around a while, I is probably right that we'll see more classical architecture. Here in Norway has there simply not been build an apartment building in the classic style since before world war 2, with the exception of a few post modernist buildings in the 1980's. Compared to graphic designers, which uses classical typefaces all the time, architects seems to be very limited when the only finds inspirations in buildings from the last 50 years. In Norway there has been some cases where old baroque churches have burnt down, and the church has been replaced by a modernist design. Norway probably has the worst urban sprawl in Europe. It would be a huge advantage to get more commuters in to the cities. May be more people would like to move to cities, if there were more newly build classical apartments available?
I'd love to see it. Where is this fabled research giant that doesn't need a bunch of funding from a giant corporation?

> Plus, even at lightspeed you're talking multi-year roundtrips to our nearest interstellar neighbors.

That's something I think people ignore. It takes 4 years to get to the next closest star at the fastest possible speed.

And that's ignoring all of the other issues with long term space travel. 4 years. To a place where we're relatively certain doesn't have life capable of technology.

The assumption that other intelligent life will conveniently find a way around the speed of light is a big one.
The best website that I've found that begins to fit this is Zencare. Entered what I was looking for, got a group of practitioners that have videos available so I get a bit of a feel for them, and I scheduled a phone consultation immediately through the website. Its currently regionally limited (RI, MA and NY) unfortunately.

I've since moved out of the area though and have been trying to find a replacement and its been such a painful experience.

I don’t have the answer, but I wish to say this is a very excellent question, because many people think that all therapists or psychiatrists are created equal, and this is so far from being the reality. Most of the therapists or psychiatric professionals I’ve encountered or have had family members deal with, have been, in my experience, quite terrible at what they do. There been a few shining stars, and the rest probably shouldn’t have been in the field.
First of all, both ETH and ETC are irreversible. If someone tried to reverse something on the ETH or ETC chain, there would be another fork and there would be 3 Ethereum chains.

Also, the ETH/ETC fork did not technically reverse anything. The fork allowed the inclusion of an "irregular" transaction that moved funds from the DAO account to a "Withdraw" account.

That means nearly half have a single (or no) option. Further, for many who have two choices, the decision is between not-actually-very-Fast DSL or a single cable provider.

In Mountain View I had only shitty DSL or shitty cable. Both sucked and cable was very expensive. (This may be different now. My experience was 8 or so years ago.)

I happen to be lucky to have actual high speed Comcast now, with an option for FTTH from Centurylink, plus DSL. Most people’s options are not so good.

It's an interesting question, but rationally it seems like BTC should decline during a market crash / recession. It's arguably a way to store value as other assets decline, but given that it has no yield, the rational thing to do after that decline is over would be to cash in your BTC and use it to purchase those other assets that have declined, such as real estate, bonds or stocks, and now have either attractive yield or a strong potential for future asset growth.

(And you see this kind of rebalancing effect in general when a major asset class declines - eventually it pulls down other, unrelated asset types because as it goes down in price, it becomes a relatively more attractive investment.)

Why would you put the taxes on the people instead of the businesses over $20 mil in revenue making record profits? It makes no sense. We have enough regressive taxes.
There is quite a bit of literature on picking distributions in the absence of observations. "Probability Theory: The Logic Of Science" by E. T. Jaynes has a whole chapter on "ignorance priors", where he shows how to pick prior distributions in the absence of quantitative information.

Generally, these ignorance priors are improper (unnormalizable) distributions. One example is scale parameters, where the approriate prior is 'ds/s', which makes any order of magnitude equally probable. It doesn't have a mean, and it favors small values. A tiny bit of evidence will immediately turn it into a proper posterior distribution; I think this prior has zero information content.

Of course, if one applies that approach to the Drake equation, one ends up with an equally uninformative posterior distribution, unless one can add evidence for each single variable. But that evidence just isn't there for some of them, so the result remains the same: It's impossible to estimate N, but it's probably very small. As it should be, given the total lack of data.
Obviously it depends on the particulars of any given project, but if you're deriving more than just the string names of the enum values it may be worth it.

Using X-macros can sometimes reduce boilerplate hugely simply through avoiding switch statements on the enum values.
> What other way is there for managing se?

In the 90's and early 00's I used to see the session token in the URL of every request.

For example, instead of:

<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=throwawayjava">Comments</a>

you write:

<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/<token>/threads?id=throwawayjava">Comments</a>

or more commonly:

<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=throwawayjava&token=<token>">Comments</a>

And when making a JSON request, instead of:

post_with_session_cookie("/auth/api/<et cetera>", ...)

you write:

$.post("/auth/<token>/api/<et cetera>", ...)

This has other major problems; the most obvious is that it's extremely easy to accidentally session hijack ("oh here's the link to the completed order form: www.yoursite.com/orderForm?token=<my token>"). Also, the attack surface for session-hijacking XSS is a lot larger. There are other security problems.

You can mitigate some of these problems by changing the token on every request, but now your security problem is only a (massive) usability problem.

None of this is the default for any major web framework, which is probably why this style of authentication completely disappeared in the mid 2000's when people stopped rolling their own backends from stratch.
So is the presumption that the human driver would do better?
I don't think we can read that much into it. The tweet says the project is nearly finished, and this doesn't sound like a small effort — so it would have started either before WASM was really a thing or when WASM was still a very risky bet. I mean, I don't imagine they'll be jumping to WASM, but I don't think we can read it as "they're deliberately not endorsing WASM" so much as "WASM is still quite new."
Indeed, as I mentioned in a sibling comment, to put those numbers in context, Bitcoin consumes as much power globally as a single large power plant, and roughly 10% of the world's data centers [1].

To be sure, it's the growth rate of that consumption that is more concerning. But at the same time, there are lots of reasons to believe that Bitcoin's electricity consumption will naturally moderate and flatten over time.

If you think Bitcoin has even a 1% chance of changing the world for the better e.g. via increased financial inclusion for lower-income populations, I think that amount of electricity is a reasonable "investment" to make (for now).

Interestingly, this kind of thing happens with some frequency in cable channels and various TV providers. I'm not quite so sure this is as far fetched as "would never happen".

I think it'd take some fairly well-demonstrated bad behavior by one or a handful of ISPs before sites would go there, but I think this could be possible.

Try at least six. Give each one two or three sessions to do something, whatever their thing is, and check if it helps at all.

Keep trying people until one really resonates with you and helps you.

Do not pre-judge methods. Go to "woo-woo" people as well as mainstream. Do not try drugs unless you have already tried at least ten or twelve non-drug folks. If you've been to twelve different therapists/healers and no one has been able to really make a dent in your issue(s) then that's a good indication that you have something more than "just" psychological and you should try drugs in a responsible manner. Again, don't be afraid to try several things under supervision of a responsible trained experienced professional. Don't be afraid to include cannabis if it's legally available in your area.

This comes from personal experience.

Last but not least, a lot of people in the modern space-age-a-go-go era are suffering from spiritual malaise. What are your deepest values, and are you living up to them in your daily life? In what or Whom do you have faith?
Autopilot on planes does not deal with obstacles _at all_. It functions in perfectly controlled environment while being guided by multiple monitoring systems controlled by humans (ie. ATC towers).
The metaphor of autopilot for cars just does not work and was used in error.
Agreed. There clearly is a decent amount of work put into this but it hasn't been thought through. And I'm not even sure that what is there is well specified; for example, you can have priorities of 1-10 and we are told that 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. We are also allowed to instead use the words 'low' 'normal' and 'high' for priority but we are never told how those relate to the numeric priorities (e.g., is '10' higher than 'high'?)
Does it only detect moving bodies?
Is it?

Is a choice between two providers a meaningful enough number for spontaneous commercial differentiation and competition to produce access which provides good value for consumers, and a level playing field for online competition?

That chain of causality is the argument for the benefits of deregulated market-based competition.

I'm not sure the linked report provides much evidence of that. Especially in the context of streaming video, the proportion of households that have 3+ providers for a 25mbps connections appears to be less than 20%. Excluding wireless connections (expensive and unreliable) that number appears to be less than 10%.

For commercial software, there may be some level of legal liability, but it would depend entirely on your contract, and I'd imagine if you look at most standard contracts, they disclaim all such liability.

For CentOS (or any other open source software) you may have that confidence but you have no contract :)

Now do Redhat/Debian package maintainers do detailed security reviews on all the software they distribute... I don't know but the odds would say it's not likely as they don't employ (to the best of my knowledge) the number of code review professionals that would be required to do that.

And of course as soon as you venture off in to other repo's (npm, rubygems, CPAN, nuget etc) you're entirely on your own.
I didn't used to believe in the 10x developer, until I worked with one. This guy was amazing. Not only was he wildly productive and wickedly smart, but he also cared about the people around him and would give talks about how he solved some crazy hard problem in 1/10th the time that was estimated. Had I been smart enough to follow him where he want, I totally would have.

> 10x developer is absolutely a thing

Agreed, it is. I've seen it.
Ten times more productive than the baseline minimum-productivity-to-maintain-a-career-without-hassle developer. Simple as that. "Ten times" is really just a placeholder for your intuitive observation of their performance.

C'mon, we know who it's referring to. That developer who just powers through things, understands huge parts of the stack in depth, and usually sacrifices more of their time than they should to getting things done.

I don't know if you can become that person. I think maybe you have to be born that way, or drag yourself into that position from a young age.
It’s even a rare glimpse of motivational catalysis that a depressed person can muster up the activation energy to reach out for help and assistance. Agree with you that these steps often cause the person to lose that fleeting motivation.

Fwiw I’m fortunate that many friends are open with me that they are/have been seeing s professional. So I would go to them for a referral. As one good friend put it, “we get help for our bodies, so why not our minds?”
In 2016, it seems SF median household income was $96,677 [1] and that the median house price was $1.31 million [2]. Couldn't find more recent number for income.

That a 13.6 median price to income ratio. 2018 median house price is $1.61 million, so for wages to keep up the 2018 median income would need to be $118,382 to maintain the 13.6 ratio.

Edit: I agree with parent it probably still doesn't make sense to compare cities with nations. These numbers are just for your entertainment. I think median price-to-income ratio for Tokyo now is now about 4. I am sure in the bubble it was much higher. Though again apples to oranges, it seems that the peak bubble average price to average income ratio for Tokyo was 18 [3].

Several options:

Ask your health insurance company for a list of covered providers.

Seek a referral or recommendation from your primary care provider.

Ask trusted friends or family.

Contact a local or national mental health organization by phone or on the internet,
I don't even think there is a clear definition of what the "10x" is measuring in terms of output.

Features/story points (velocity)? well.. this is a productivity metric of the team rather than individual.

Without a doubt some people can be more "productive" individuals than others, but I -do- think in the real world, it makes more sense to look at productivity on the team level rather than individual. Ex: someone is very productive at making lots of commits but obnoxious to work with or has shoddy tests/documentation that end up sucking time away from the "less productive" developers that have to clean up their mess...
This probably doesn't help OP but might help a reader who's facing the same logjam and qualifies: see if your employer (or a family member's) offers a benefit through https://www.lyrahealth.com/ . It is a super streamlined process that takes all the pain away of triaging what's going on and figuring out which type of provider to use, and then selecting one. I got it through my wife's employer even though I'm not on her medical insurance. There's a diagnostic survey, then they suggest some providers (with a strong default choice, which makes a huge difference), and even help you draft the appointment request email. And they follow up to make sure you get help. It still feels like you're owning the request for help, which is pretty important -- it just puts the whole process on rails.

Depression can take away your ability to complete any of the above steps... I know because I didn't get help for years because of the (minor, but thanks to depression, major) hurdle of finding a suitable provider through my work benefits.

Therapy works, y'all.
Thanks for clarifying this nonsense.

We are talking about MIT. Their acceptance rate is around 6%. I am sure they get plenty of applications from the smartest American undergrads. Assuming that they choose the best and the brightest, it makes sense that they would have students from all over the world. Americans don't have a monopoly on intelligence.
The reason I say it is a terrible way to tell a story is not because you can't tell a good story in a video game, but because most stories don't benefit from having gameplay elements thrown into them. In fact, I think it takes away from the story because the storyteller loses control over important things like pacing and the person experiencing the story has to constantly switch between story-mode and gameplay-mode.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is pretty much the only game I can think of that does this successfully, and I don't think it's something that can be done with any story. Books and movies, on the other hand, can tell pretty much any story. They are universal, while video games are limited. I believe that to be inherent to the mediums, and not just because we are still learning how to tell stories in video games.

Emergent stories are not storytelling and have no bearing on video games effectiveness as a narrative medium. They are stories, yes, but they are not being told. They are being created in real time by the people playing the game, which is quite fun but not storytelling.
>The problem is there is a common misconception among the general public that it's beyond assistance and is partial automation.

Again, where do you get that this is a "misconception among the general public"? Read the marketing. Watch the demos. Listen to the claims.

This looks like a step in the right direction. I can't seem to find a polyfill though -- do you have a link to that?
Our team uses Docker containers more as a deployment strategy than as a sandbox. In conjunction with an orchestrator like Kubernetes, we get a standard way of deployment, horizontal scaling, update handling, TLS termination, etc. that works the same for every service under our reign. And it's very malleable: You have a certain amount of isolation that makes each individual service easier to handle, but you can still get through to the kernel by giving the container the appropriate privileges.
