Ethereum Third Anniversary, Commentary from Orvium; GBX and More – CoinAnnouncer
TSA employees are generally not well-paid and not well-educated. They come from the bottom third of the economic advantage spectrum. As a result, most of them have probably never visited a foreign country; many have likely never even been on an airplane.

So their opinion of "foreigners" is skewed by their anti-terrorist training to think that people from outside the USA are mostly bad and wish us harm.

TSA employees should be required to visit a foreign country at least once a year--paid for by their employer--so they have direct experience with the vast majority of non-US citizens who are simply normal people living their normal lives.
Say your name were Stephanie Coontz and you were marrying a fellow named England France. You could legally change your name to Stephanie France Coontz (dropping a given middle name or not) and then continue to go professionally by Stephanie Coontz.
And the fact that you can usually find the exact page you want from Google is nice. As a bonus, if google gives you the wrong version, that page links to the same page for every other version too.

It's a joy.
I played with that when it first came out. We had the discs and the player, it was very impressive but even then I knew that there was no way that it would last for even a decade.

It was a puny bit of data for todays standards (about 500M in total), but of the day it was incredible. Back then a mainframe winchester pack with the same capacity would be roughly the size of a washer-dryer combination.

The data not being publicly accessible at the moment is more of a copyright rather than a technical issue.
For some production use cases, it is possible and others it is not or extremely difficult. There are a few reasons for this.

The quality of search is a combination of both precision, ordering by relevance, and recall, finding relevant documents in a corpus. PG FTS is primarily a recall engine since it does not have BM25, TF/IDF, etc built-in. Out of the box, it is like an easier to use regex rather than a full search engine. If you have a dataset with small N or relatively unique records then recall-based algorithms will still give good precision simply because there aren't that many results for a given query. However datasets with larger N or lots of similar records, precision becomes harder and you start needing BM25, machine learning, etc.

It is possible to incorporate other relevance signals (eg recency, popularity) to improve precision in PG but depending on the specific signal, it can be more difficult than ES or Solr. Things like auto complete, supporting multiple languages, spell check, scaling are also harder to implement in PG at the same quality and performance as ES/Solr.

Syncing the database and search server is a real problem so I usually recommend to stick with PG if you have a recall-based search problem. But if precision is important or one of those other features I mentioned is important than I recommend ES/Solr and just deal with the syncing problem because overall it will be easier.

While some parents (much more often mothers) choose to exit the workforce semi permanently when they have kids, it's actually very very rare for Americans to take off for 12-18 months. It's generally either ~3 months or "forever."

I bake pizzas on a ceramic baking stone and I'm very satisfied with the results. Before baking a pizza I preheat the oven with the stone in it to the max level. Pizza is baked after 8-9 minutes in the oven.

My ratio for the pizza dough is 265 ml (gr) of water, 400 gr of flour. That would be two pies 33 cm in diameter.

I've been struggling with the thought that both react and vue feel wrong when writing. Vue seems quickier but things like emit feel gross. React is kinda fun to write small items but things turn ugly when you start breaking down components into smaller and smaller components.

AngularJS still feels nicer until you get into directives.

I think there is still space for one more framework to rule them all.

But it isn’t 100% efficient in converting potential energy into electricity. Even if the generators were 100% efficient, resistance in the pipes leading to the turbines slow down the water, not all the water hits the turbine blades, the water that does doesn’t transfer all its energy (the water would have to have zero speed after the turbine to do that, and the turbines would have to be at the bottom water level)

Too bad for Simon Marketing. It raises an interesting question from a business's point of view. Who can you trust in a situation like this. Personally I would only trust a security expert to provide expert guidance but not have them do any execution. They would seem to me to be the least trustworthy, simply because they have had a professional lifetime of temptation and rumination.
I think you may be filling in some blanks here.

Do you think that if you came across a developer who's been doing JavaScript for 10 years and didn't know bind, call, and apply, or a 10 year Java developer who didn't know how to set max heap size, that that person is likely to be smart or get stuff done?

I've come across them. I've hired them. They're people who habitually blame others and dont move cards.

Oh, sorry, I thought you asking meant you wanted me to post the details, should have looked at the entire thread again :/ EDIT: could still edit, so edited.

I guess I find it not that interesting because I spent a lot of high school with math and math puzzles, so my threshold for "surprising" is higher - although when I wrote the first comment I hadn't made the connection, only when I typed it out later, in a slightly different form than I had in my head it was clear.

In the analog world, you have to think about signal-to-noise ratios instead of DPI. Any given copying technique will add some small but nonzero amount of randomness to the output, which destroys some information.

The way digital copying gets around this problem is by having predefined signal levels that are farther apart than the vast majority of copying error, and writing a new master every time instead of the analog copy.
You're half right. It's very common and very untreated.

But for most people, a CPAP machine is a great solution. There are few other serious medical conditions that can be more thoroughly addressed!

If you might have it, you really should look into it, there is a good chance your life can be turned around and improved more than you (pun intended) could dream of. Mine was!

Modern CPAP machines are quiet, comfortable, and only cover your nostrils. And they can save your life!
This is on my list of things to test. I've done 00 in the past but I wasn't capturing my notes from those runs. I've recently gone with KABF because it's easier to acquire and Jeff Varasano claims "...you can buy any bread flour available at your local supermarket and you'll be ok." [0].

Interestingly, Jeff uses a blend of 00 and KABF which may be another experiment to run.

The original question is asking about a few articles he/she wants to read later, if you have 180 articles (6 * 30) you want to get back to you’d probably we wise to use an alternate system. Personally I am familiar with the problem the original question asks about and that’s how I find it frictionless to handle. If it’s getting to such a large number as you describe I doubt I’d ever come back to reading them because I’d notice something new I’m interested in too and keep adding to the list.

Odd. But interesting.
A hydro turbine on a dam with no penstocks can probably go from 0-100% in 5 to 10 seconds.

The limit is pressure waves in the water conveyance system due to changes in flow through the turbine. If the water conveyance system is only the width of the dam and encased in concrete it is going to have minimal transients compared to a 7km long steel or HDPE penstock on which the time from 0-100% is more like 2 minutes
That is absolutely nuts. Do these people not realise you can change your name anyway? It's one of those really weird positions I don't understand the process of getting to.

I have to assume those people are nutjobs who want to enforce traditional gender roles and have servile women, and see this as an aspect of that, literally having ownership over their identity.

It's kinda horrifying.

Do note that you can use React with much less boilerplate! The nice thing about React is it's very easy to write abstractions on top of it, since it's just a small JS library. For example, instead of writing value/onChange/setState, you can use valueLink={linkState()}. (Note valueLink and linkState were both formerly shipped with React and since deprecated, but it's easy to write them yourself.)

Are theoretical results ‘Results’?
I recommend you to read "Why We Sleep", however try not to be discouraged when you think about your sleeping pattern and what the science says it damages, and how it is devastating, detrimental to your health and so on. It can be overwhelming a little. If I had to choose one, this is the book I'd recommend.

I've only got my experience with sleep deprivation and the methods I use to fix it. I had severe sleep deprivation and now I sleep 8 hours on average, with quality sleep.

I am a very light sleeper, on top of having problems falling asleep. This is what I did:

1) limiting the noise - I installed new windows and added new door that leads to my bedroom; I have a fan that I put next to me, put it on the highest speed and it absorbs any noise left. You can achieve this with a "white noise app", too.

2) completely dark room - I cover the windows outside, and then inside too (just in case any light escapes).

3) I fit my meals within 8 or 9 window as a part of TRE (Time-Restricted Eating) - my first meal is around 9AM. It does not have to be perfectly accurate (8:45, 9:15 acceptable)

4) strength training every day (assuming you are cardiovascularly fit); I do sprints as well (twice a week or so)

5) zero alcohol - it is one of the strongest REM suppressors

6) zero caffeine - very important. The average half-life of caffeine is 6 hours. That means that after 6 hours, you still have 50% caffeine in your body.

7) write down the following, and try to look at them from time to time: when you eat, what you eat, calories/macros breakdown, when you go to bed, when you fall asleep (approximately), when you wake-up, and a summary of the previous afternoon and night time - what you think is the reason for the sleep (or lack of) on the day of

8) try to fit in with your circadian rhythm. On average: we are at our peak 10AM-3PM - try to fit strenuous activities in this period (including heavy strength training - since I am a remote developer, I can do this).

9) I walk around 8-10 km every day, part of it in the morning, part of it around 20:00

10) try to limit blue light at night - some ideas: dim lights, orange/red glasses filter, orange/red light bulbs.

These were the major things that I did, and some combination of them seem to work. I don't know which ones precisely.
Some things that didn't work for me:

1) some natural remedies like valerian tea, etc. - it made me worse, actually.
2) meditation - just doesn't work (for me). A lot of people swear by it..
3) nothing of this sort: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/fall-asleep-fast/

Try to learn something from what you eat - but be brutally honest with yourself and write down everything that contains calories that you eat. I noticed that I sleep worse on the day I eat more sugars (and I hardly eat sugar at all!).

Hope this helps someone.. I know how hard it is without sleep.
Can you use this with React, Angular, and Vue components?
I take 5000 D3 at 9 in the morning. It causes me to naturally wake up at 6 a.m. or even earlier, without feeling groggy.

If I take it when traveling, jet lag is greatly diminished and overcome much more rapidly. I switch to taking it 9 a.m. of the destination's local time. If 9 a.m. occurs during the flight, I take it then.

It's like an external clock pulse!

The first time I took 5000 D3, I made the mistake of doing it in the evening. My sleep that very night was quite strange, disturbed with weird dreams. I immediately clued in to the fact that morning might be better. Basically, mimicking the onset of daylight.

D3 is beneficial for exercise; it relieves that muscle soreness and tiredness and improves mental alertness. It helps beat those winter blues and gets you out there.
You are making the (wrong) assumption that relationships are all about reproduction. Marriage has no requirement for reproduction.

The argument is also deeply flawed because "women can only have one man's baby at a time" ignores the fact that relationships last longer than a pregnancy. A woman could have two husbands and have kids with them sequentially, even in a world where the "having kids" part mattered.

Age: 45

Last thing I learned? Err... well, on Friday I spent some time learning how to deploy tasks to Amazon ECS. I've also spent the last week or so doing a deep dive into OAuth and setting up a CAS server so I can use OAuth + Token Introspection for service-to-service authorization.

Additionally, I work with a quite diverse team (in terms of nationality / ethnicity) so I've been leaning on some co-workers to help me learn a few words of Portugese, Spanish, and Tamil here and there.
You see, that's how you discourage an innovator: if you let society benefit from his work to his detriment, he's likely to tell society to innovate without him and go get a nice office job.
>Google makes the worlds most popular mobile operating system and it’s purpose is drive the company’s bottom line (ad blocking is forbidden).

I don't know what they're referring to here, but this isn't really 100% true in any case. I'm running Firefox with uBlock Origin on mobile. You can set it as default browser and it can even be set to replace Chrome inside of other applications.

When it comes to Android apps, it's true that you would need root to block ads, but that's more due to application level sandboxing. Of course, I would not really expect Google to implement hooks for intercepting and blocking traffic or content in applications.

The author mentions Twitter... anyone have any tips for how to use Twitter to only see recent tweets?

I don't actually use Twitter for anything social, but it is the way I often find out recent events. For example I commute by njtransit, which has delays twice a week or so. They provide almost no information via official channels (announcements or posted on boards), but often you can find details on twitter...

So I bring up twitter on my phone and search for njtransit, and invariably it decides to show me a joke some user posted a week ago, or yesterday's delays -- which is completely useless.

I feel like there used to be a way to show it chronologically. Is that gone now?
It just feels like 15 years from now we're going to be reading articles in the WSJ and NYT headlined "How Tim Cook Pleased The Shareholders While He Destroyed Apple."

With all the political influence, brand awareness, and metric assloads of cash Apple has, it should be the best company in the world. But every day brings more headlines that make it seem like Apple's best days are behind it. It keeps stumbling -- publicly and unnecessarily.

I'm not going to jump on the "Apple was better under/because of Steve Jobs" bandwagon. But this race is Apple's to lose. And the number of small cracks appearing everywhere is becoming disturbing.

Somewhat related, Leslie Valiant believes that if evolution performs a random search in genome space, it is computationally impossible for it to have led to the complexity that it's produced in only a few billion years.

He's written a fascinating paper exploring what other algorithms besides random search could perform the computational task required and are also biologically plausible: https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/2643031/valiant_...
Though the intent is good I'm not a huge fan of posts like these because no developer is equally proficient in two frameworks. One example is going to be more idiomatic, avoid more pitfalls, use better abstractions, etc. Were this a large production scale project it would be even more evident then a vanilla to-do app. I hope nobody sees this and goes "x is better!".

I personally believe it's all integrated together. Sure methylation alone isnt going to effect the genotype of an individual, but thats not day it won't trigger some translocation event, expose LTRs, or some other mechanism of changing the genome. In everything I've seen thus far, I'd guess that it's all a complicated and interwined mess. How do you distinguish evolution and selective pressures of an individual from populations anyway?

As this is a built-in feature of Firefox, I'm curious if there are any additional benefits this addon provides?
