As writing systems they are old indeed. Not every character in those systems is that old, or very old at all.

So what? In a digital world, not having a Unicode codepoint assignment means not having the character at all, not even with pen and paper. Therefore rejecting emoji is the same as rejecting new scripts altogether. I don't think that's wise.

EDIT: Also, regarding private use codepoints, since the desire is to interoperate, those cannot be used for emoji.
Thanks for providing additional support to my pet argument that lawmakers should be required to hold a Law degree, for obvious reasons. I find it truly puzzling that others don't agree with this.
Kaiser Permanente (excluding their Medicare Advantage, Medi-Cal managed care, etc., plans) covers employed or financially independent individuals and their dependents, who have a different health profile than the whole population. They also charge higher it of pocket costs for some services than would be acceptable for coverage that was expected to have utility to the medically indigent. So, yeah, it'd be cheaper to buy everyone a KP individual plan with prices set based on the cost of insuring the people that can afford KP individual plans. But it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense as a universal approach.
It's a nice thought, but I recall reading elsewhere that integration was developed separately to differentiation (to find areas and volumes) until they were found to be related.
Thank you. You can find the code for that here: https://github.com/opticdev/marvin

The objective of the training is bootstrappig a prettier. String template (pattern in the code) for each node type.

So we can learn things like arguments are separated by “, “ but if the total # of chars of all of them is greater than X it’s more common to use “,\n”. Stuff like that.

We had LSTMs for a while but they performed worse than a decision tree with a few key features as input.
There are more and more challengers now with slight niche market, for example local exchange or second-hand market.

Holy crap, I knew big G hates users but this level on condescension is off the charts!
Network effects. Sellers use eBay because buyers use eBay because sellers use eBay. eBay dominate the long tail of e-commerce and will do for the foreseeable future.

You can challenge eBay locally, as shown by Craigslist and Gumtree. You can challenge eBay in a specific niche, as shown by Etsy. Facebook tried to take on eBay directly with Marketplace, with limited success. Amazon Marketplace competes fairly directly with eBay, but at a significant cost to Amazon's reputation - it has flooded their platform with counterfeits and fake reviews.
Unless these physics constants are, well, constants put in the same code. How many ballistical systems treat ‘standard g’ as a variable? (hint: it depends on seconds squared.)
> The main point is that Google is using a monopoly in one market to retain a monopoly in another market, and this is illegal. As far as I'm reading the press release, Google is not barred from developing and offering Android for free, if they wish so - they are only disallowed to abuse their monopoly.

I agree with this and it's a good thing, but where does it ends? When can we say this is another market, don't touch it?

Qualcomm is pretty much the standard on cellphone processor. Their processor include a GPU, called Adreno. I want to manufacture GPU for phone. By including it on their processor and not offering it without one, they essentially force their buyer to ignore my offering. Are they trying to illegally retain monopoly over GPU for phones? CPU and GPU are 2 different market (desktop PC prove this pretty clearly).
Sure you can conceive of a crypto currency that is centrally controlled, targets inflation and focusses on price stability, but then you have simply invented 'crypto-fiat'.

The key point is that Ponzi schemes you are talking about are not an accidental byproduct, they're the entire point. There's no reason to reinvent electronic banking, we already have electronic fiat money that works very reliably.

Cryptocurrencies are digital gold and basing an economy on them would be like bringing the gold standard back. The problem being that every economist will tell you, for good reasons, that this is a terrible idea. Cryptocurrencies are not a technological innovation, they're a technological regression. They make things that we already can do more complicated and energy expensive which is the opposite of what technology is supposed to do.
Sure, and Pichai is saying it doesn't make good business sense for Google to spend a lot of money developing a mobile OS and then give it away for free unless they can use it to push their other products, like search. Google's business model was to give away the OS for free, but require Google apps to be bundled (in exchange for play store access).

So I have nothing against the EU decision, but Google's response is just common sense. They aren't a charity. If Google can't bundle their money makers with the phones, that kills the current business model and leaves them footing the Android development bill while getting nothing in return. So, they need a new business model; making Android proprietary is an obvious option.
Of course not - that is a US national myopia. That there are commenters calling out changing a graphic as totalitarian Newspeak yet completely ignoring the core issue that graphic change skirts around is rather comical. It's no longer possible to have a sensible conversation, wherever your views may lie, about the underlying issue unless it's outside the US.
Almost thirty years ago now, driving around on a hot summer day with a couple of friends. One guy puts a punk mix tape in the player, and the guy with a college music scholarship was aesthetically offended. "Anyone could make this music," he complained.

The other guy nodded in agreement and replied, "that's the point."
I hear many influencers in the space (mainly in podcasts from a16z and Laura Shin) claim that crypto is matured to the equivalent of the mid-90's internet, but I'm skeptical it's anywhere close to that far along. Thanks for sharing these ARPANET milestones, it puts the situation in a better perspective.

NCSA Mosaic was released in 1993[1], so I think "mid-90's" is convenient for people who can't easily grasp what the internet was prior to the web. The TCP spec was published in 1974 and became a standard in 1983[2].

Consider these milestones in the crypto space[3]...

> 2008 bitcoin whitepaper published

> 2009 first bitcoin transaction sent

> 2010 Mt Gox bitcoin exchange established

> 2011 BTC market cap exceeds $1 billion (indicates activity and liquidity)

> 2015 ethereum launched

> 2017 crypto market cap exceeds $100 billion

We're still seeing early protocols contending to become standards. The analogy isn't perfect, but Bitcoin and Ethereum seem more likely to be analogous to ARPANET than to TCP/IP. It will be a couple more years before blockchain interoperability platforms (like Cosmos[4]) are fully operational, and another year or two after that before we get a killer app that's as widely accepted as the first web browser.

Returning to your final point, the amount of utility already derived from Bitcoin and Ethereum is fairly impressive considering their young age.

Designed by the corporate committee of social fads, emoji represent a lot of things I've come to despise.
Overly truncated thoughts, ambiguity, laziness, sometimes plain disrespect.
Sure, you can do all of this without the help of emoji, but even if the medium isn't the message, it does modify it and I think it does so for the worse.

What I'm really saying is, I'm angry about the kind of person who tends to abuse them. Getting angry over little pictographs on the internet is silly after all, right? :-)
Serious Sam Developer Teams Up with Denuvo Cracker to Promote Game
Now, here's the interesting part.

I was sure I first read that story when it was first submitted on HN. Sure enough here it is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6860839, I even put out a comment in a discussion.

The funny thing now is that someone mentioned the very wikipedia article `Timeline of the far future` in that short story submission.

Ah, patterns.

I wouldn't assume that people going to therapy fall under "more stress and broken". Anecdotally, I've known people that go preemptively to help guide themselves through new chapters in their life.

Therapists make sense to me given that in the western world, the role of our elders / guiding parental voices has been greatly diminished.
Photosynthesis produces oxygen at a rate faster than the rate of depletion due to oxidation of the Earth's crust (think rust). Without plants there's nothing left to spew oxygen back into the atmosphere.

Photosynthesis converts CO2 into carbohydrates. Lowering the concentration of atmospheric CO2 slows this reaction. Plants also metabolize carbohydrates, producing CO2. So photosynthesis requires the right balance of CO2 concentration and light.

The estimate for when CO2 levels would fall too low appears to come from the following linked article:

The latter authors feared that
photosynthetic production would cease ~ 0.1 Gyr from now when just 150 ppm CO2 remained in
the atmosphere. The latter figure corresponded to the CO2 compensation point, at which
photosynthetic carbon fixation would exactly balance losses through respiration. We stress that _
this must not be confused with the CO2 value at which healthy metabolism ceases; with zero net C
fixation available, a plant could not repair itself, produce seeds, or even grow.

There's more on the compensation point here:

I understand and I agree. People, especially on internet, as you can see in the comments above, are so quick to put their conditioning of words and feelings onto others, in a way where the words you say is not really coming to them in regard of your own true meaning but rather by their own meaning, their own codification of language and thinking. They become angry and come to criticism rather than listening and understanding who you are, as you are.

They react, and think you are an asshole. That tells me they themselves are not willing to recognize their own cruelty and anger and pain. They are vulnerable. Rather than merely listening and saying that they are happy to know you know yourself they say things that make you seem so unknowable to yourself, since they themselves might, too, not aware of truly who they are.
It's not bad, especially outside of summer the climate is quite nice.

This just shows Apple items are fashion items which you can't do a technical comparison with. The ThinkPad T580 is 4.29lbs where the Macbook Pro 15" is 4.02lbs. I am sure the four ounces made a huge difference. If you wanted to compare it to the 5.4lbs P52 then may I point out the GTX 1060 level GPU which is quite a bit faster than the Macbook Pro? Not to mention the 128GB RAM capacity or the multiple M.2 SSD support. They are entirely different machines for different purposes.
The government shouldn't protect people from themselves. It should however prevent people who are not doctors from falsely advertising they are.
Future folks

There are not any future folks who can adopt Apple's model.

The only viable mobile OSes for the foreseeable future are Android and iOS, unless Android can be trust-busted. Even Microsoft couldn't do it. And they really tried.

If Android can be de-bundled, then Samsung can pursue Tizen, because Google will not be allowed to prevent it. They're the only ones with sufficient resources and market share to have a shot.

Edit: Or, ironically, Google—who are the only ones not bound by Android OEM agreements—with Fuchsia.

Not to mention, Ethereum and DAPPs can't validate any interesting external data without relying on centralized trusted data sources - at which point it becomes cheaper, more efficient, practical and legally accountable to just set up a normal database app.
Interestingly, I made the same error. I think because that first comma is misplaced (vs, say, a colon), making me expect a second comma later.
I wonder with more frequency every day if there will ever truly be a solution to the problem of rising health care costs in the US. I see a lot of posts here suggesting that privatization should be removed, and any jobs lost that are related to the current industry will be unfortunate byproducts of getting rid of a broken system; a necessary evil that will ultimately make way for a health care system that is both cheaper and available to all.

It's tempting and easy to adopt that line of thinking given where, I would suspect most of us here, are at in our lives from a career and financial perspective. As a software developer, it's easy for me to switch jobs and make a good wage. I can weather most unforeseen costs. In the decade plus that I spent working blue collar jobs for a very low wage, I would've been screwed if I'd lost my job.

This speaks to a much larger problem that is consuming the US every day. I don't have any answers, but I can empathize with those who fear their livelihoods being taken away, even if saving those jobs has a net negative effect on the economy and job market. There isn't a day that goes by, especially in today's political climate, where I'm not thankful for having the opportunity to put myself in a better position. I'm the outlier, though. Most people can never bring themselves up out of poverty.

The risk is via side channel attacks like Spectre. Even if the script fails to execute (since it's html and not javascript), the html document has been loaded into the memory of the process which included the script tag, which can now start reading that memory via side channel attacks.
Ask HN: Fair spin-off startup royalties
I'm working in a research institute in the US as a programmer and some time ago I've identified a problem area where there is only one company providing an overpriced solution. I've developed my own web app to solve it, I've shown it to the researcher who would use it, we've iterated on it and she has started using. Now it's adopted by the whole institute for solving this problem.

My contract says that what I do in my free time is my own thing but code I write at work belongs to the institute. I wrote the app mostly in my free time, but since parts of it were written at work my institute claims joint ownership.

There are no patents involved or any research papers involved.

I would like to start a company to sell my web app to other institutions like mine. I need to license the part of code owned by my institute, I would prefer paying royalties to equity or cash. What do you think should a fair royalty rate be?
I worked at a very large e-commerce player, these numbers jive with my experience. Most people have their password saved in their browser, or get it right the first time. Maybe they screw up a few times, whatever. They may even have to reset, but they are in now, and you won't see a bad attempt from them for awhile.

Then you have Mr. Hacker, who is just going to spam the crap out of you until you actively stop him. If he is not so smart, he will go all in and try to brute force you from a single box as fast as he can. Smarter guys will rate limit themselves, even smarter guys will use botnets and VPNs. At this point time is on their side, they can just spray and pray, and even diversify their attempts by not just focusing on amazon.com, but hitting amazon, then target, then ebay, etc... you can now still be making whatever number of attempts per second, but fly under the radar (hopefully) of rate limiters and such.

Rate limiters and other counter measures help, but the point is that the bad guys are going to just keep trying and trying, while typical user flow is at most a few attempts. These attacks are almost always from overseas, particularly Russia, and so they have little fear of consequences.

One of the problems will be that the people you need to convince, will likely have a very low tollerance for false positives. Another challenge will be getting access to real data, and the human checked analysis you'll need for training. There are a lot of health coding systems out there, you'll need to pick one.

Network with people on advisory boards, medical professional groups, they will have the ear of others and will help you connect your solution with problems. Health insurance might be a good avenue.
It seems to me that as long as emoji is kept out of serious and mass communications, the variability and imprecision of emoji is no big deal. We engage in imprecise expressions all the time like "urgh", "ew", "yay", and rely on more precise words to clarify the message when the situation calls for it. At the moment, emoji seems to be used in the same class as those imprecise interjections, and I don't see it acquiring technical, precise use anytime soon, given how unwieldy it is to use compared to the 26 characters.

So just as a ballet dance, or a particular performance of it, isn't the right medium for world leaders to express international political sentiment, similarly, emoji should not be expected to convey any precise sentiment in critical situations. The author says as much:

>If emoji are to become adequate vehicles for discussing public health, the legal system, and art, their depictions need to be molded by users rather than a handful of software companies.

I don't think anybody is seriously considering the use of emoji in the way in its current mode of usage for communication when precision is needed. In the first place, there is no standard pronunciation of emoji characters, which in itself is sufficent to make their use in formal documents an iffy suggestion. Arguably, if we ever standardize a reading/interpretation of emoji, the concern raised by the author becomes rendered moot and the choice of graphic representation becomes a stylistic one.

When we consider the current imprecise nature of emoji, message corruption due to companies somewhat altering the precise meaning of the emoji become much less significant.

Great to see someone that took the time to do the research! If I may ask, what's your opinion of my DIY mattress? Mine just consists of two 12x100x200cm pieces of PU foam cut into a triangle shape (I live on a boat.) The 12cm thick PU foam rests on some wooden slats. The foam has 25kg/m3 density and 4kPa compressive strength, if that matters.

My girlfriend and I both find it very comfortable, and all the guests I've had also like it.

What do you think? Are there any hidden risks here that I'm not seeing, or reasons to evaluate the mattress on factors other than comfort? E.x. potential health risks (back problems???)

Thanks!
The thing is I guess that I would normally think of "culture" to mean differences in how people think about things. And you can fall into different equlibria without people having to think of things differently.
You need to add <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> to the <head> section of all your search results pages.

You want robots NOT to index pages but to still follow links on your search pages.

Create clean sitemap.xml file and submit it to Search Console.

Another way is to just canonicalize all search results pages to your search page.

With Google and these things time is involved. Once it's in the index it will take time to properly clean everything up. How was the traffic before this happened? Did the website rank for any decent keyword? Sometimes when this happens the smart thing to do is to just start from scratch with a new domain.

Disney's movie dominance has a dark side, independent theatre warns
>Nit pick: The point of the ride isn't to get 0 gravity. IT IS TO GO TO SPACE!

This is an incredibly important and underrated point. People aren't going (just) for the roller coaster ride. They're chasing the overview effect, the perspective-altering thrill of seeing the Earth from space.

I suspect a lot of people will pay handsomely for it. If they do (and it works despite the trip's brevity), prices will steadily drop as design and build costs get amortized away to nothing. Eventually it could be accessible to the majority of people (in developed countries), at least at a level where if you saved up you could get to space once in your lifetime — a sort of secular pilgrimage for the 21st century.

Given the apparent change in the worldviews of those who experience this effect, if we're lucky it might even help make the world a little bit better.

This reminded me of a question I've had knocking around in my head since I've heard of hawking radiation- the prediction is that the black holes slowly evaporate into subatomic particles.

However, it seems to me at some point a critical juncture would be passed and the black hole would cease being bound gravitationally and the matter would be released similarly to a supernova or just spontaneously form a neutron star.

What is the fallacy in that thinking?
Maybe that's part of it. There is an underlying assumption that you are having some sort of problems if you need to see a therapist here.

Edit: looking at the other comments I am not the only one assuming this :

"That is a significant amount of work to engage in for someone who is already in a compromised mental state :'( "
