People have insomnia and are irritable without ever smoking. Maybe cannabis just masking your problem and what you feel as "withdrawals" is not caused by cannabis. People often attribute causal relationship if it fits their limited knowledge.

In the talk (starts at 24:50) he speaks about adding something like goroutines to JVM and expresses his belief that it can somehow solve concurrency. It solves basically nothing mentioned in the paper, since paper's focus is on fundamental shared state concurrency problems and sharing state won't change a bit.
The value of pennies to the economy must be much greater than $69M right? My reasoning is: if you get rid of them, who’ll get short changed? The consumer. And by how much throughout the entire cash economy? A lot.

Even if there were a hard-coded expiration mechanism, that mechanism would presumably have limited precision and a non-zero failure rate (assuming it's implemented with biochemistry rather than magic). Looking at the list I linked to, it does rather look as if there were a cunning device to kill people towards the end of their 118th year, and that device failed in two cases... but I can't imagine why there should be such a device or how it might be implemented, so I don't really believe that.

Even if the chances of surviving another year did stabilise around 50% after the age of 100, say, you still wouldn't have enough people living beyond 130 for you to be able to measure with reasonable accuracy the mortality rate of people aged over 130. So the hypothesis that a person aged 140 would still have a 50% chance of surviving another year would be totally untestable.

If you think about it, there's also no hard limit for how tall or how short an adult human could be. Except the limit of zero for the height. Again, beyond a certain point there will be, in practice, no data available for testing any hypothesis about the distribution.

If you prevent heat from entering your house, you don't have to get rid of it either.

The last two days I hung up two wet towels as "curtains" on the outside of (open, curtainless) window in the living room, which face the sun during the day. They blocked the sun, and air coming into the house through the window was notably colder.

They dried out so quickly that I had to soak them again twice during the day. Given how much energy it takes to evaporate all that water I think that little hack got rid of a lot of heat.

Oh I put the newlines on HN for readability, the actual logs don't have that. There are numerous tools that handle json logs on the cli, for example there's jq so you could

tail -F my.log | jq <filter>

This is okay, but changing filters isn't trivial, running the commands and displaying side-by-side isn't trivial etc etc.

So say you can develop a decent emacs workflow using that, but once you get a new dev you cannot really pass it on. And if they're not much of a cli person then yea...

The only difference is that as a professional, you're filing your taxes as a business. It's still "income"[1], it's just the entity filing is a business rather than a specific person.

Regardless, a prize you win is not taxed as a sale.

My friend, who owns a very cash heavy retail business, tells me that he pays the company that regularly picks up cash much, much less than what the credit card processors charge.

I think changing from your current plan unless you panicedly (and in my jurisdiction, illegally) press a button to stay the course is just generally bad UI.

Part of this is I just don't trust Google Maps' new route to actually be faster. It seems Google Maps doesn't properly weigh the cost of these items, which leads to it's suggested route usually being slower:

* Crossing bridges during rush hour.

* Making a left turn without a light across 3 lanes of traffic.

* Going down small residential streets that are too narrow to safely drive the speed limit.

* Routes that require turning onto a busy road without a light and the corner having really poor visibility.
there are a lot of proof and research on this, just google and pick for your taste. In general you want to (step 1.) transfer heat from inside the body to the skin/lungs and (step 2.) reject it from the skin/lungs into environment. While definitely improving step 2. the very cold water may cause blood vessels constriction and thus significantly worsen the step 1. The same machinery is behind the frostbites - cold environment causing blood vessels constriction and thus lower heat delivery to the skin, toes, fingers.

On related note - reading recommendations for when for example a dog gets a heat stroke, you will find that ice or very cold water straight onto the belly may worsen the situation for exactly that reason. Also recommendations to in particular cool the head - pretty straight, not that much depending on blood vessels state, heat transfer from the brain preventing/slowing the damage.

> What if you shower in -10 degree liquid?

that takes blood flow mechanics play even further - you can get a heart attack by quick changes in blood flow caused by the blood vessels constriction (or quick expansion after that if you quickly get back into the warm environment - there was that story about a ship crew rescued from cold ocean water only to all drop dead from heart attack when they were immediately walked into a warm room on the rescue ship). On the good note - being a Russian i like and frequently do hot sauna until my heart can't take it anymore and jump into the cold water (or into the snow or river ice hole back then in Russia) straight after that - great fun enjoyed responsibly :) - the key here is having hot sauna to really expand your vessels so they wouldn't get immediately shut down by the cold water/ice and staying open they provide for efficient heat transfer.

Is that specifically for Airbnb? It isn’t the case for Amazon, app stores, TripAdvisor, or Yelp. among other places. Why would Airbnb be different?
If you think of your room like a rack mount server it totally makes sense. I've never seen a server with fans pulling air in from the front AND the back, only only ever in one side and out the other. You want to get air in, have it absorb heat, and then get rid of it. Having positive pressure in your room or server just results in high pressure warm air, not a cooling effect.

This isnt true.
This really has nothing to do with limits to longevity in any practical sense. That's just the publicity machine at work, the first line in mangling and misrepresenting the relevance of research. This paper is to do with a long-running debate over whether or not mortality risk reaches a high, flat plateau in extreme old age. The difference between limit and high flat plateau is academic for those involved. The outcome is much the same.

It does in flies, and there is very clear evidence for that. The evidence in humans to date is very sparse, and where people have done good work on the numbers, they have not seen signs of a plateau. So in that sense, that people have found a larger data set that shows it, that is fuel for the fire.

No-one has the slightest idea as to how you can balance the fundamentals of reliability theory with a late life mortality plateau. If damage is accumulating, and no-one really believes it stops accumulating, then your risk of mortality should keep on going up. What sort of mechanisms in a highly damaged biology could buffer that underlying reality? And why in very late life versus other times?

None of this, of course, has anything to do with efforts to treat aging or extend human life. It is an academic debate that will likely fade out before answers are found, made irrelevant by the advent of ways to treat aging and its causes. Methods of extending life will work by putting off or repairing the very damaged state. There will likely never be a large multiple of the present count of exceptionally physiologically aged individuals. Rejuvenation therapies are just around the corner.
I was with you until you wanted to eliminate cash in favor of more coins. How is someone supposed to carry those in their wallet? Many use thin wallets or money clips for card/ID/cash. Plus if I'm leaving someone a tip, I'm sure they'd hate to have their pockets jingling while they serve food or valet. Cash is also a lot easier to count, flip through, harder to lose.

The article mentions that the biggest impact comes from limiting the highest-entropy information.

It wouldn't be hard to rank the various attributes by entropy and then you - individually - could calculate the probability that you'd be uniquely identifiable.

Seems like such work would be valuable.
I'd be happy with only going down as far as quarter dollars. There's a convenience store in the lobby of my building and the guy prices everything rounded to the nearest quarter. It makes everything faster and easier.
Yes, but not much. Since mortality is about 50% for people over 100 (according to the article), doubling the population of humans should only see an increase of one year.
yes finally. A step in the right direction.

Recently I ordered shoes. My account on the company website listed my current address, the billing address was the same. When my shoes were sent they sent them to my old address... from 3 years ago. I logged back in and did not see my old address anywhere on my account however it is obvious they had it in their database and a glitch dispatched my shipment to this old address.
What business did they have saving all my addresses? If I deleted it from my account online, why did they save it? I felt very unsettled about all the "deleted" data I had online
A lot of info I can find contradicts other info, so it's hard to be sure. I can't find good support for the method I gave, though. I was under the impression that chilling them afterward was mainly about stopping the process of cooking, though I can't say it doesn't also help with peeling.
They did, and they're back in China now.

There is a simple fact here you seem to be ignoring. If you want to do business in China, you follow Chinese laws.

If you have issues with China's human rights, you should encourage your local government to take up that issue. Your post reads like a bunch of raw emotion and statements like "Tim Cook doesn't believe" that which are just impossible for anyone BUT Tim Cook to know. Relying upon supposition of what you think a person thinks, and extending that to a company to arrive at a conclusion of: money > human rights is... pretty sad as arguments go.
Actually, there is something Apple can do. They can start by not offering iCloud services in China. Sure, it would be an inconvenience for many, but at least they would be protecting the privacy of their users by not sharing their data with the government.

>Google on the other hand is under no such pressure to violate their user's privacy. They could stop at any time, but have decided that the increased revenue and margins they can extract from the data is more valuable than their user's privacy.

There is also no pressure on Apple to violate their users privacy. But, they do it because China represents a large percentage of their revenue growth. If it were not for their cooperation with the Chinese government their stock would tank. China is one of their largest markets, if not the largest, so of course privacy was always going to take a back seat.

>This seems so obvious to me, I don't understand why this false equivalence is brought up so often.

Probably because of Apple's hypocrisy on privacy and human rights. It's absolutely disgusting to listen Tim Cook preach about human rights and privacy, with every interview he does, considering their business practices in China.

Oh, sure, people are very willing to report their suspicion of a crime happening to someone else.

But what do you think is, say, the date-rape report rate for Japan vs. any other country? Something that's already a source of personal shame is hard enough to report; knowing that no investigation will even be attempted in response means there's no reason to try to overcome that shame.

(Also, Japan is very willing to respond to any random report by "increasing patrols" by the low-level police-box staffers who are basically there to make it look like Something Is Being Done. Look at what reports ever get any detectives assigned to them, and the statistics will tell a far different story.)
Signage in Europe deals with this just fine.
My opinion? Because opioid/benzodiazepine abuse rates and cost of living are on the rise, while wages and labor force participation rates are stagnating.

I always love the super Internet badasses from warm climates who laugh at notherners for complaining it's too hot at "normal" temps. I'm willing to bet SoCal doesn't hit -30. Your body is used to one small temperature range all year, our range swings wildly and we have to cope with both extremes.

Nah, but go ahead and laugh when 80F is considered hot. We laugh in our tank tops and shorts when you guys say 50F is cold.

You realize they put out the warnings for a reason, right? Like... people die when temperatures get that hot in northern regions. People actually die. But nah, just suck it up right? Suck it up granny, quit yer dying over there and just buy a fan!
I read somewhere that there is a lobby group that's preventing the government to remove pennies from circulation. I think they're related to copper/zinc which explains why.
> Let's assume a third-party manipulator (i.e. they can't print new Tether).

Ok, sure.

> To make this economical, they would need an in with at least one exchange. Their trades on this venue (let's call it ShadyBit) would be free, or close to it. This is where the majority of their wash trades happen. If one naïvely averages volume across the market, this will do the trick.

Do what trick, exactly? What does your hypothetical manipulator get out of this?

> But the jig will fall apart if another exchange starts sharply diverging. So you set up sock puppet accounts there to soak up excess demand. As long as you keep the confidence game balanced, there shouldn't be too many people looking to sell at unusually low prices.

"Sock puppet accounts to soak up excess demand". See, right there, you're saying something, but I don't think you're following it through to its logical conclusion. Saying you just "soak up excess demand" hides the fact that this requires enormous amounts of capital, not to mention paying the transaction fees on the exchanges you aren't colluding with.

What you are supposing here is that someone is artificially propping up the price of Tether. What that means is that they are taking real US dollars and exchanging them for an asset that they know is not worth its current price, en masse. If you want to posit someone is doing that, you need to provide an extremely compelling motive for so doing. A motive that would generate more money than it costs them, and I don't see any way that could be happening, with the possible exception of Bitfinex themselves doing it. But...of course, if Bitfinex is propping up the price of Tether by exchanging them for USD 1:1 then....isn't that the point of Tether in the first place?

> In the meantime, you can continue using your inflated-value tokens as collateral for borrowing or to buy appreciating assets or to sell or whatnot.

You're really handwaving here. You're saying they're taking real money, USD, and buying Tether tokens so that they can prop up the price of Tether because they have a lot of Tether that they can exchange for other stuff?

Play this tape all the way through. Let's say you have 100M Tether and 1M USD. You want to prop up the price of Tether so that you can buy sweet cool stuff with your Tether tokens. So you use your 1M USD to prop up the price of Tether, and you starting buying shiny new Bitcoins with your Tether. Now you've bought 10M USDT worth of BTC, so now there is 10M more Tether out there in circulation. You've created massive selling pressure that you now need to balance with real USD. What you are proposing here just fundamentally violates equilibrium principles and so cannot, on its own, be what's happening.

Roads are indeed often financed from the general government budget in addition to fuel, registration, tire tax. But many voters like having more roads. In effect the majority is subsidizing its own desires.

It's a self-reinforcing status quo of people who accept government spending on roads, traffic congestion, crash casualties, total cost of ownership of a car in the thousands of USD per year, physical inactivity, and air pollution. And they expect free parking and cheap gasoline.
Google Maps gets really bad in rural areas, I was shocked on a recent trip in Washington state at how bad their maps are. They seemed to have half the businesses in town on the map, but the roads were inaccurate, missing, and sometimes just plain wrong.

OSM comparatively was of much higher caliber, which was surprising.
Control.

Remember that Google isn't a product company. Their business is selling attention of the users who use their internet products.

Devices and OSs are adjacent to their business so, they don't care which ones win, they just want to make sure no large player emerges in them. When you have near-monopoly power, you want the layers adjacent to you to be commodities.

That's why they bought Android, put a lot of resources behind it, and open sourced it. It prevented Microsoft, Samsung, or anyone else from owning mobile OSs the way Microsoft had owned the desktop in the past generation.
At this point maps are a platform hygiene factor. If you're going to be Apple, you can't rely on Google or any other 3rd party vendor for what is seen by users as a basic feature.

1.) Threat to free s peach does not have to be governmental.

2.) I agree that protests themselves are free speech and necessary part of functional society. Absolutely, people have right to loudly disagree with highly paid speakers and demagogues and pundits and politicians and what not.

3.) There are many people who don't believe 2. in particular when protesters are from opposite "side". Even if you see protest as something outside of free speech, murder is bigger threat.

4.) Murdering someone is large non-govermental threat to freedom. That point stands absolutely. "You are not careful enough if you criticise troll" is slimmy way to create situation in which you are totally for freedom, but also if they do exercise they are irresponsible and brought dead on themselves. Slimmy.

5.) I did not downvoted you.
For bricks and mortar stores, if the majority of people due to pay the tax are capable of rounding up a posted price of $fee + tax, the minority eligible for tax exemptions are capable of rounding down a posted price of $fee - tax

Might be a little different for online stores where tax can't be calculated until they know which of the many different local tax codes the sale is being made under, but as you've already noted computers can handle updating the price before people confirm the purchase.
Ah, makes sense, you still need the ability to handle the rerouted traffic.
How to Effectively Promote Content Marketing to the Relevant Audience
One possible solution: Make the providers of web services liable for what their users post so they can’t ignore the problem for that sweet ad revenue. Possible downside: Providers become overly cautious and pro-actively delete more than necessary. Possible upside: Lots and lots of small, tight-knit (and healthy) communities crop up because Twitter, Tumblr & Co. die.
