Ultrasonics exist to overload microphones but I always thought of then as acoustical coupling of interference which I would think the FCC would frown upon but maybe that's a stretch.

That's even just for a single person in the household! If my significant other & I wanted to do this it would be $480/year on movies. That is insane, we generally spend well under $100. I like Marcus theatres' $5 Tuesday Movie night. It's unrestricted and you can go to brand new releases for $5 / ticket. It's really the only way we go to the theater now.
I've always seen objectivism as a branch of consequentialism. Utilitarianism is a different branch of consequentialism, in that it seeks to maximize the greater good for others. Objectivism seeks the maximize the good for the self. "Rational selfishness" is a fine enough description, I suppose, except for the cases where the two words conflict, like in tragedy of the commons.

Ask HN: Is this a proper explanation of call/cc?
Hi,

I am playing around with call/cc in scheme and I have produced this little diagram (https://i.imgur.com/kXax4OR.png) to help me understand what's going on.

Any feedback is appreciated, especially if the diagram is erroneous :) Thank you!
Even assuming your view represent the real situation (things that I don't believe) do you think that other races (I still use the term despite race not being scientifically a real thing for humans) will do differently?

Family Separation and 'Zero Tolerance' at the Border
ALPHA OFFICIAL TRAILER 2018
Other's have said you could unplug it, but you may also find it to be the easiest way to do certain things, so you could also mute it so it's available in case you want it.

Of course you'd have to trust the mute function, but Amazon is actually pretty strict about honoring their explicit privacy guarantees (like when you push the mute button it's actually muted).
It's immoral and repugnant to enforce our border laws?
It's difficult to figure out proper approach, I agree. However, there also must be a strong negative reinforcement for the sake of learning - e.g. inserting one's hand into hot flowing lava should scar one both physically and mentally so that this person and anyone seeing them doesn't attempt the same.

I know a guy who was fairly smart and decided to take LSD at university in his "teaching assistant" room, and make notes about his experience. Something went wrong during his trip and he ended up confronting some kind of demons. Previously purely rational person within a year switched to become a seventh-day adventist. Since then I simply couldn't trust his judgement anymore; not because he became religious, but because something really damaged his brain on his first trip.

Another person I knew was a brilliant winner of math and informatics Olympiad. Decided to try heroin once. Dropped out of university the following year, spent a year working in construction, went to a lesser university, dropped out after two years. A talent gone.

Some drugs ("krokodil", meth), seem to give pretty brutal feedback about their use, e.g. literal zombification of humans. There are so many horrible stories...

It's really complicated as a human has to go against their own nature to override brain's pleasure complex, often also against their friends, tribe, customs etc. while the whole world keeps saying: "Just take it, it's normal, everything will be fine", and 10 years later finding themselves one step from abyss. I would rather convey a strong message: "It's not OK, don't ever do it!"
The Nash equilibrium is also natural, efficient, and non-optimal in many cases. Which, in the face of "optimal", could be described as "wrong" if the belief is that optimal is desirable.

Show HN: Daptin: A server-based database hybrid web application framework
Hi HN,

Daptin is an open-source competitor to API first CMSs like airtable/contentful.

https://github.com/daptin/daptin

Daptin is a server side software and the name is inspired by the word "adaptable". The goal is to allow developers/designers easily create applications without any kind of lock-in at any level (pay per user/pay per 10k rows etc...). Using daptin, you get a predictable normalized schema in your db (mysql/postgres/sqlite). A JSONAPI.org based stateless API over the database exposing CRUD with authentication and authorization in place. The same data is exposed as a GraphQL endpoint too.

Daptin can be deployed as the front-facing server exposing static-sites and daptin can handle multiple domains/sub-domains or can be used as as internal service where you consume it as an API.

Why should you use daptin?

- JSONAPI.org API, ready to use clients for all languages: http://jsonapi.org/implementations/
- GraphQL
- Authentication and row level authorization with user-group based permission over all APIs/data
- Querying/filtering/pagination, in-built data auditing (turn on/off), in-built data versioning
- Asset management, connect to any cloud storage service (rclone integrated natively in Daptin)
- Stateless, horizontally scalable
- Actions to model workflows, call external services
- Easily re-creatable instances based on schemas: use json/yaml to model your data/relations/actions and more
- Expose static sites (js/html/css)
- Connect with social-login
- Work with external oauth2 connections
- Reusable workflows
- Templatable (JSON/YAML file based schemas), Self-host marketplace to share your templates (example: https://docs.dapt.in/extend/marketplace/)
- Native binary for most OS. Binaries for linux/darwin/windows/arm
- Easy to use docker image (daptin/daptin), deploy with kubernetes or docker compose or deploy on heroku

Documentation at https://docs.dapt.in/

Would love feedback
A few hotels already have tablets pointing cameras at the room (including a recent Marriott I stayed at). This just adds more crap I have to unplug or disable. Lovely.

I can't wait until we all find out these things have all been systematically rooted and collecting blackmail on folks.

It's one thing to trust Amazon or Google, but now you also have to trust the hotel and its staff, the physical security of the device, and all the previous guests of the room.
Used Synergy awhile back for development and testing and it worked really well. Glad to see it pop-up again brings back memories. Glad I don't "have" to use it at the moment though.
One feature that's incredibly useful, but not on this list, is the JSON support[0]. Being able to store schemaless documents alongside your structured data is very handy in some instances. Being able to query the JSON documents in a useful manner is also incredible.

In some ways this is a positive news in that Bitfinex/Tether managed to have 2.5Billion in bank on June 01st, 2018.

That seems rather plausible unless FSS completely messed up verifying bank sources(ie someone impersonated a respectable bank, or a micro bank official lied).

So that is all that this statement says: on June1st,2018, Tether accounts had 2.5Billion USD in bank.
Do Microsoft and Sony ban the person or the actual console device? Nintendo are going for the account and the device for what amounts to unsanctioned-by-them use of software:

Very convenient, I often use them.
There's really no reason not to if your data structure is appropriate.

The only drawback for me is that you can't have arrays of foreign keys. (You could of course just store an array of the key values, but without the integrity checks).

With the exception of Kraken, Poloniex, and Gemini, I either haven't heard of these places or have heard nothing but terrible, terrible things (i.e., Bitfinex).

And I'm sure people have bad things to say about the ones I listed as not being that bad.

There simply isn't a well trusted exchange. Coinbase/GDAX and Kraken are the two I would recommend to people getting started, even with these issues surfacing.

The early pioneers of LSD believed in ego death and yet had huge egos that only got bigger with successive doses.
I had been using Synergy to control my work laptop from my home machine. I hadn't used it in a while (2+ years) and my computer would constantly run out of memory (I think it was in dwm.exe, if I remember correctly) and I would need to reboot. It wasn't until I read the Random ASCII article linked from here (https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2018/02/11/zombie-processe...) about zombie processes that I was able to track it down to Synergy and uninstall it.

That's what I figured. The limit seems pretty sensible. Most people won't hit it most of the time, even if they're pretty heavy movie watchers, but it probably prevents usage that's really unprofitable.
Who cares? Why are we supposed to be interested in why someone thinks (with no analytical insight to back it up) one of our brightest will fail? Everyone thinks Musk will fail at everything he does, yet here we are. Can we stop submitting articles reinforcing the notion?
Webkit browsers have the (somewhat limited) ability to manipulate the scrollbars with pseudo-selectors. For everything else, it's JS or deal with whatever horribleness that browser gives you.

History API is standard, but not usable for a lot of things. I'm on a project that has to play nicely with server-side routing, so we are forced to use hash routing like it's 2001. Likewise, the ability to save state in the builtin History API forces some workarounds and doesn't play too nicely with things like testing.
The musician doesn't have much choice here. Radio stations will only perform music licensed by the rights organizations, so either they join and get some money, or they don't and get zip. Rights organizations typically invert the burden of proof. Even worse, if they do join, in many countries they are no longer allowed to license their music in another way. In Belgium for example they are expressly forbidden from releasing their own music under a creative commons license.

Another thing rights organizations are notorious for are overbroad claims. They invert the burden of proof and require all performances to prove they are not playing licensed songs, and all music publishers to prove they are not publishing licensed songs. There is a lot of bureaucracy involved with this inverted burden of proof, which has no legal basis except that rights organizations can afford big legal bills and those on the other side mostly cannot.

I find this whole rights organization business to be nothing but a legalized racket.
Western "Buddhism" is totally messed up, and you can see this from the strange behaviors of its practitioners. The majority of Buddhists in the West aren't a part of a community with a living Buddhist tradition, and they don't read or write in a language that has evolved with the particularities of the Buddhist religions. American Buddhists, in particular, don't have an idea of "initiation," "dharma transmission," and "religious community" which are so important to the Buddhist practitioners in Asia. It makes complete sense that this type of meditation doesn't work well.

I am not familiar with the Pali or Hindi languages, but, for example, in Chinese, there are over 20 words that all mean "karma", and the language has taken on many loanwords and native associations as a result of Buddhist influence. In the West, this type of transformation was brought forward by Christianity, not from Buddhism. When you read a Buddhist sutra translated into English, you get six-syllable Latinate constructions that sound more like a neuroscience paper than a living religion, such as "contingently-originated phenomenon", which is actually just two syllables in Chinese. I am sure that there's even more ingrained Buddhist ideas if you are a native Pali speaker.
I always thought this is how this model would play out. MoviePass provided proof of concept, but the theaters have no reason to play ball and enter a revenue-sharing partnership with MoviePass when they can just launch their own competing product.

AMC will make up for discounted ticket sales in concessions. Once you get people into the theater, there are a lot of up-charge opportunities. Food & drinks (and alcohol if they can get a liquor license) make up most of theaters' profit.

I assume the UX will be better than MoviePass as well since ticketing should be fully integrated - no need to physically go to the theater to purchase tickets, find out that tickets for the movie you'd like to see are sold out, swipe a different credit card, not be able to use the theater's rewards program, upload your ticket stub to the app...when you think about it the UX for MoviePass is actually pretty awful.

Doubt many people are seeing more than 3 movies a week anyways on MoviePass, and several subscribers I know also pay for IMAX movies. For them it's a no-brainer to pay $10 more per month to see (effectively) unlimited IMAX films.

What I think computer programmers tend to ignore are principles of real engineering in classical, high-consequence fields. It seems like Coinbase has been following the mantra of "move fast and break things," that would absolutely horrify any traditional engineer. Any civil engineer reviewing a bridge, any aerospace engineer designing a passenger aircraft that he himself may to have to fly on. When the work gets serious, it's time to move slowly and fix things. "Move fast and break things" is antithetical to any form of engineering.
Integration is the central story every government in Europe is preaching. It doesn't seem to be happening (and where it does, not nearly fast enough to matter).

Now you might say "so they don't have your culture, big deal". No, that's not what I mean.

I mean middle eastern sections in big european cities have unemployment rates that are only a little better than middle eastern cities, and that simply won't work. Effectively, with the numbers as they are, immigrants are largely a negative influence, purely economically speaking: they're a drag rather than a gain.

Needless to say, given the political climate shift currently going through Europe, nobody likes reporting this, as it seems rather unlikely to improve anything.

True, it's straightforward, but knowing Musk's penchant for playing the media, it does come off as an attempt to liken this event to the Uber/Waymo affair. Which is not a fitting comparison.
They are solid and easy to use and particularly good for early prototyping. I've found they work best for passive data, if you have attributes tied to a structure that are required by the application but bear little significance to the database then they're solid.

If your data is more complex then they tend to break down a bit, but at that point you should probably be looking at a joining table or other construct that supports foreign keys and such.
Yes, but that [changes in lead usage being correlated with socio-economic factors] would be more amazing than lead exposure explanation.

Not really, infrastructure changes of various sorts are often correlated with socio-economic factors. There's a reason Flint, MI's water system was wantonly destroyed and not that of a wealth Connecticut Suburb.

Anyway, there are still researchers doubting whether lead was the primary cause of the 80s-2000s rise and decline of violence. Just googling, see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3829390/

But the main thing is single causes are hard in complex things like human society.
It would have been pretty easy to say the same thing in 1965 about the moon...
If a person complains about X while actively doing/using Y, then they are not really addressing their concern either.
Totally agree. I had to stop reading after reading:
"These findings suggest that spiritual Buddhist practices like yoga and meditation may not do what proponents typically say they do"

I think comparing yoga/mediation in the context of our current society versus how a Buddhist practices is very apples and oranges.
I see what you did there.

Meditation has boosted my ego, in some meanings of the word, and given me a sense of self worth. It's also taught me that everyone is interconnected and self is an illusion. Those two things go hands in hand to make me much more generous and giving than I used to be.... Still no saint though.

I think people lack the language or don't realize the two concepts of self-worth and non-self are sperate. The word ego just gets thrown around. "Oh yeah I have a tiny ego but great self esteem." == "I have a strong view of non-self and a huge ego."
I think proactivity and a knowing a good platform to ask questions in, helps. For some of us, the difficulty is often whether to ask on StackOverflow or to open a bug on Github.

An overflow of Github issues can lead to some issues going unnoticed (depending on whether issues are regularly triaged by a team).

For example, I have a Flutter Android app that has an infinite notification loop bug [1]. I've struggled for many hours (spread over a few weekends) trying to figure out what was wrong. I eventually opened an issue on GH after giving up.

After a few days, I decided to post a question on SO, and someone from the Flutter team saw it. The issue might have gone unnoticed for a bit if I hadn't done so (especially given its obscurity). I believe so because popular projects on GH get a lot of issues, and yours might get buried if someone doesn't pick it up immediately.

The other thing is that when we open issues, and project maintainers try to work with us, we often delay in responding to them. That over time, leads to issue clutter, and probably developer fatigue.

So perhaps we can be better citizens by being more proactive, given that someone who's often paid a lot is taking time to help us with issues.

I agree with your point on RN and in-house development.

"Big" has lots of different definitions. I was referring to code size and domain complexity rather than scale and revenue. Your experience of "apps" not being long-lived doesn't match mine at all: I've never worked on a piece of software that was decommissioned after a short period of time. Or are you using the term "app" in a specific way? I wouldn't call most of the things I've worked on "apps"... We started working on the software that I was thinking of as "big" back in 2008 and from what I hear, it is still going strong (though pieces have been tactically carved out and implemented in different ways over the years).

I think you and I may just have worked on different kinds of things.
The cloud optimization circus
I think it's important to start talking about, and acknowledging, that nearly every second of the average person's life is thinking about something that is within their own universe of their life's experiences.

So plausibly, this really was an innocent and understandable mistake. Maybe they grew up in a town full of white people, and maybe all of their friends and coworkers are white. I understand what they did is technically racist, but that's because of that particular combination of people. Let's use _this_ 'experience' of "racist", but not it's exact definition. For example:

- It was racist you forgot your mother in law's birthday (who you see once a year.)

- It was racists you didn't lift the toilet seat. (Edit: I grew up in a culture where it was offensive to not raise the seat)

Definition: Any unintentional side effect from not thinking about someone* outside of everything you've experienced, and presumably causing harm to that outsider.

* Usually this person is disadvantaged in some way. But almost everyone is disadvantaged in some way, thus neutralizing this particular point IMO.

Does that sound rational? I don't think it does.

The world is full of suffering, and I'm advocating people help and love the people they are surrounded by. If many people did that, it would be easier to recognize each other, where ever you come from. Why? Because hate will push away everything it is unfamiliar with, but love will accept everything it is unfamiliar with.

(Now meta argument, do I expect people to change? No. So I try accepting them instead.)
Those are good points. I am not familiar with the research on checklists as a QI tool so will take your word for it. However I think his articles on the "cost conundrum" and "hot spotters" are pretty insightful and his analysis is accurate and at least among the HC admins / professionals I know the insights are respected. I don't think that he's right that frequent fliers are the cause of the USs high cost of healthcare but his analysis is reasonable

I don't mean to offend if you work in HC ops or QI, but I'd rather have someone take a macroeconomic perspective than an ops perspective when looking for solutions to high HC cost. I'm aware of the HC QI field and know a few ppl who work in that space and I know how hard it is to move the needle with that work. You are fighting against a system that in many ways is not incentivized to work with you. I know there's been a lot of great work done in HC QI but frankly it hasn't moved the needle on cost of care. I think it's time to look at changing the broader system to allow all the good HC QI ideas to actually get implemented broadly

I hear your point about intellectual overreach. However many people call it another thing, but with a positive connotation: the "beginners mind". That in fact is one of the 3 criteria bezos had for the CEO. That mindset facilitates learning, growth, risk taking and innovation. Yes you'll make mistakes but that's part of the plan. The experts who never step beyond their area of expertise won't be as successful because healthcare is too interdisciplinary to have leaders who won't reach out intellectually to people from other fields, and too broken for incremental improvements to turn the tide
