Yes, it is a natural feeling and it is ok to be hungry, just be aware that when you are hungry you behave differently than when you are not, and it might actually play against you (have you seen the Snickers commercial? It's spot on).

It can also be used in your favor, for example there was some research about the severity of sentences relative to the time of day. What they found out is that judges are more lenient (give out lesser sentences) at the beginning of the day (right after breakfast) and right after lunch - the opposite was true as well, the harshest sentences were given right before lunch and by the end of the day.

Several startup teams have said to have used this when scheduling their YC interviews. It would be amazing if the YC teams could share acceptance rates based on this info.

I would be more expensive: you would have to pay tax on the imports, you wouldn't get a warrenty and the stuff that is sold on ali-express is not the same as is being sold in the west. The chargers for one don't hold up to the safety specs so they are cheap, but not when they burn down your house.

I buy stuff from ali from time to time, but I would never buy anything expensive there.
Sure. But they never worked on airplanes, and they're only a distant ancestor to the jet and rocket engine. You don't see people investing in steam engines these days.
IANAL as well, but this notion of "fair use" seems slippy. I had a look in the French article that lists some exceptions that allow sharing copyrighted material, and did not find any obvious match with the potential shared database.

"A couple of hours outside Yangon, the country’s largest city, U Aye Swe, an administrator for Sin Ma Kaw village, said he was proud to oversee one of Myanmar’s 'Muslim-free' villages, which bar Muslims from spending the night, among other restrictions.

'Kalar are not welcome here because they are violent and they multiply like crazy, with so many wives and children,' he said.

Mr. Aye Swe admitted he had never met a Muslim before, adding, 'I have to thank Facebook because it is giving me the true information in Myanmar.'"

Is Facebook Luring You into Being Depressed? (2015)
Given that he read the bitcoin white paper the day it was released and found it an interesting use of Merkle trees, I suspect that he's describing the past he experienced. When he read it, the community was such people.
As witness the current UN: stable, but not objective, thoroughly corrupt, and constantly subverted by pretty dictators and wannabe genocides. I think giving an organization like that enforcement power over anything would be a disaster — even if it weren't an affront to every sovereign nation on Earth.

"Evolution is brutal, it requires death"

The problem here is simple: people have too much money at stake now. The solution is not so simple, given this is a technology about money.

But I do feel that it may be possible to learn from all of this, and preserve what is useful and use technology to eliminate the negative influence. For example, preserve the incentive mechanism for decentralising certain services (which could have genuine benefits for some use cases) while ensuring there isn't a publicly tradeable token or that if there is that it is protected by a stablecoin mechanism to prevent speculation. (Just one example.)
This. Just had my first kid. It helps immensely to anticipate when they'll be cranky and be ready to address it right away (by feeding them, soothing them or helping them fall asleep).

You also need to be aware of how that overlaps with you being hungry/sleepy and try to address it in the best way. It's so easy to get angry at your kids just because they got cranky at an inconvenient time for you.

At the same time, at this stage of their lives, I believe kids should experience some stress/frustration/pain to know how it feels and learn how to deal with it. Very important life skill.
I wonder if FPGAs could be a node too. That would allow us to mix programmable, highly parallel analog modeled acceleration onto the same high speed / direct connect bus as all the other fixed, traditional computing components. I really like the approach AMD is suggesting here, treating it like nodes on a network.
Cabbage Patch Kids and tulips wear out and disintegrate like any other organic matter. We will be lucky if bitcoin wallets from a decade ago are able to be cracked a thousand years from now.
My parents went thru the depression and war as kids and anti-debt is encoded in my DNA. It has led to less-than-optimal choices.

That said, you should do what gives you the most flexibility with acceptable debt risk. Where do you want to be in 10 or 20 years? How many kids will you have? How much room do your hobbies require? Do you like the neighborhood.

What about something between option a & b? Maybe you're growing out of your house, but you don't need 1200 more sqft. Maybe there's a nicer neighborhood, you could design something to your needs or resale will be more profitable.

Are you really at risk with equal or greater debt? Can there be a situation where your industry could collapse and banks won't be interested in negotiating? If you have a fear of a 2008 event, debt will be managed unless you are really over-leveraged and there's a market for your property.
My observation is that on certain topics, HN votes and comments become largely based on ideological stances rather than objective reality.

Take this thread for example: "the culture that creates new tech is something that china can't steal and it can't replicate it without giving up authoritarian rule"

This truism that China "can't innovate" because they live under an authoritarian government is very commonly believed on HN, but it's nothing more than an opinion. However, if you were to suggest to these same people that China is a poor source for sourcing immigrants, because <some unique characteristic of China>, the logical parts of their brains would fire into action and point out how "wrong" that statement is, for obvious reasons.

A lot of people, including people on HN, passionately believe things that are absolutely contradictory, and they vote accordingly.

> Are we now accusing Facebook for not having enough censorship power?

No, we’re accusing Facebook of selling ads next to a system known to prioritise sensational junk. When your ad platform rolls out before your moderation system, your priorities are wrong and you are morally culpable.

There is also the problem of disparate treatment. “‘Facebook is quick on taking down swastikas, but then they don’t get to Wirathu’s hate speech where he’s saying Muslims are dogs,’ said Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia division” [1].

Ted Nelson in continuing in a thread of argument first put forth first by Ada Lovelace:

"Again, it might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine. Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent."

This. The top people in an organization are, almost by definition, managers. It's not surprising that they compensate managers more in general. In addition, managers are more involved with discussions about compensation and, partly for this reason, tend to be better negotiators.
Yes, ideally you would carefully read the paper and evaluate its methodology, evaluations, and results, but this requires you to be knowledgeable in the field. That's why peer review exists -- some experts in the field read it and determine if it passes the bar, so you don't have to.

Citation count is useful for determining the relative importance of published papers. 10-100 citations is ok, 100+ citations means it made a significant contribution, 1000+ citations means it's a landmark paper in the field and probably worth reading. In the case of this paper, it's very new so citation count is not very meaningful, but it's a useful heuristic to evaluate most papers.

I'm a disagreeable giver. I've just left a job which didn't appreciate this. Funny thing is, everyone on my level said all the time how much they appreciate my openness with knowledge and desire to teach my skills. I found that odd because I consider it completely normal. The people above me hated it, though. Some of them shot down my efforts to enable basic knowledge sharing in the company. Most of the time I just made it very obvious that I could see them with their clothes off, though, and there were a lot of naked people above me.
Yeah, I'm kinda on the other end of this. I often didn't do as well as I should have in school because I always "understood" what was going on in the classroom. It was confusing for me when those who struggled to understand what was being taught in class did better on exams. From a cursory glance I always seemed to understand what was being taught, so I never did the deep work where you really learn the subject. I figured out better ways to really learn the subject matters later in academia. It was almost never about reading more on the subject, but rather doing more problems (ideally exams that were use in previous semesters) on the subject.
If intelligence is a mix between nature and nurture, why not support both? Good child care and good education...

Smart people having more kids is not the full solution, but it is a part of the solution, and a neglected one. People already talk about improving education a lot. But it seems that education can only go so far -- some children get better results unschooled than other children get in schools.
There's several distinct issues intermingled in this reporting, muddying the lessons.

First, there's issue of ethnic violence in Myanmar, fueled by hate speech on and off of Facebook. While the article acknowledges that Facebook's digital distribution allowed hoax stories designed to incite ethnic violence to spread very fast, it says a lot about a society when isolated instances of trolling can lead to real people being killed. It said a lot about the US' fears and anxieties when foreign agents were discovered to have been generating content to amplify sectarian divisions, but it was also remarkable how similar their products were to organic content produced by various factions of true believers within the US. If domestic agents are posting hate speech in Myanmar, the only explanation is that Myanmar is a sharply divided tinderbox with many prejudices and preconceptions, and some people will latch onto a rumour that in their mind provides the necessary justification to commit violence and murder against another ethnicity. It's difficult for me to accept the article's insinuation that in such an environment, Facebook must somehow do more to counteract the undercurrents of society.

Then there's the issue of Facebook and certain websites being zero-rated on some phone networks. This is popular in countries where no organized lobby against it exists, and has been withdrawn in some places where activist groups have succeeded in framing it as a foreign company picking winners and losers. Zero-rating is the new frontier in net neutrality that was punted even in the US, where the old FCC never banned it outright, the new FCC is declining it investigate it, and telcos are vertically merging with content providers, which seems to lay the groundwork for more zero-rating to come.

So anyone can use any language for any assigent. How many runtimes do I need to install to grade your program? Howany languages do I need to know? How many frameworks do I need to understand? It's a problem of practicality.

I agree that any CS course focused on a tech stack instead of CS concepts is a poor one, but that's not the only reason we see specific languages being mandated.

God of War’s violent world comes to life in these stunning art prints
This is an extraordinarily difficult situation that is developing at a very fast pace, so information to make the sort of analysis you are asking for is very difficult. As you have seen by the regional government inquests, most of our national leaders are struggling to keep up as well.

Here are a few observations:

1) the smartphone has become a technology vector to the most remote areas in the world, and its natural use case is communication

2) data is expensive, so expensive that many regions can not afford it regularly.

3) connectivity infrastructure is very expensive, and many developing regions customer base do not represent the revenues to support it.

4) Facebook and other services growth depend on reliable data connectivity

5) what started out as a way to launder facebooks ad inventory profits to carriers to provide free data so that Facebook and carrier networks could expand, turned into a cultural invasion

6) now areas who had not experienced the level of connectivity that Facebook affords are using it in radical and sometimes violent ways.

7) those local communities are struggling to regulate it while the broader developed world is shocked at the results

8) it turns out each region wants to regulate this in very different ways and have very different culturally accepted goals about communication as a whole. I.e. censorship hate speech etc.

9) the variety of cultures means that a global standard to filter and control communications is a kind of np complete problem. What is hate speech in one region may be free speech in another.

10) the best positioned and leveraged entities to provide the super-oversight are as of today, private for profit companies. This is likely a distasteful solution to many.
Disagree with the first sentence, agree with the second. How precisely is "Disagreeability... a form of taking"?
A lot of 'gaming the system' and backscratching goes on in Academia. Relying on citation counts, journal/conference names, and the oversight of 2 or 3 peers (who may be 1st year PhD students) is a veerrrrry dubious heuristic. Having said that, it'll certainly cut down the size of your reading list.
You can tell people and have them understand but you have to know what you're doing.

Most of our ideas about human communication are still in the "alchemical" stage. There are a handful of people who have initiated the rigorous "chemical" stage but their work is not accepted by mainstream psychology. This hasn't prevented diffusion of the knowledge at various rates through various subcultures, but it has grossly interfered with the scientific investigation of mind and communication. I'm talking about the general body of knowledge and technique collectively referred to by the moniker "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" (the other NLP.) Normally I would link to a wikipedia article here but the one on NLP is shit. (It's one of the rare cases when I've found an article about something I know well that is highly inaccurate and biased. It's a bit of an apparent paradox that many people who have trained in NLP still do a lousy job of communicating in many ways, and, ironically, often about NLP!)

In a nutshell, it all started around 1974 when some therapists were videotaped during therapy sessions and the transcripts were studied in light of Chomsky's Transformational Grammar and regularities were detected. Within a decade something like the "operating system" of the human mind was mapped out. As a side-effect, various algorithms and techniques were developed. One example is the "Five-Minute Phobia Cure" which is a simple algorithm that eliminates phobic responses. (If you have a phobia and would like to not have that phobia you should look into this. It's a simple verbal algorithm that any practitioner should be able to lead you through. It only takes five minutes or so, works immediately, and is permanent.)

Anyway, it's the real Information Revolution. I have no doubt that when all is said and done the calendar will be divided into two epochs, before and after 1974, as the discovery of the formal methods by which the brain thinks supersedes in importance the discoveries of fire or atomic structure.

You don’t need the perfect match. However, I would say that the task is exponentially harder the longer you want your marriage to last.

Yes, because your intent is to circumvent the provided mechanisms of the Instagram API and you’re doing it with a program instead of just browsing around the site with the intent of using it like a normal user who isn’t scraping. “But the program did the exact same thing that a human could do!” is a really good, pedantic CS argument, but it’s a terrible legal argument.
It is implicit in things like this that it's a generalisation suitable for discussing the case in point and not actually trying to describe the full spectrum of human behaviour. You should (and clearly do) know this. Generalisations are very powerful. I know they are unfashionable because everyone is unique and special, but you won't get very far without them.

> Those books are head and shoulders above any school textbook I've seen in the US.

Most textbooks seem to like to have stupid things like "math connections to the real world" and large pictures of unrelated topics in a desperate attempt to appear relevant, all the while serving up repetitive problems that are a copy of an example so that teachers and students can just look back at them without really understanding what they're doing. Personally, I think it's really hard to use books like this in the classroom as it's structured currently because it's considered a bad thing to have problems that are essentially unsolvable for most of the class.
