> you could also just avoid your migraine trigger

Jerry Weinberg, who died yesterday, used to say that every time you hear the j-word ("just") you should replace it with "have trouble", i.e. "you could also have trouble avoiding your migraine trigger". He was talking about software projects, but the rule is general. The j-word usually indicates that difficulty is being glossed over.
It also fails to mention how everyone under 50 is being co-opted to finance these lifestyles and literally create notions of generational wealth.

I did this a few months ago, but I'm pretty sure the survey you mentioned is optional, at least I don't remember doing it, so you don't necessarily have to "pollute data".
I agree, and I think they had a short code example earlier. It was one of the things that got me interested in it then.
No discrimination. You take anybody or you are out of the market.

The change went live on August 1, where they deprecated the "publish_actions" permission.
My guess: it's shaping up similarly to the solar/wind <--> coal fight.

At some point, there's not enough money you can lobby with compared to the real world needs and competing lobbies (here: food/nmonsanto etc) and the balance shifts. Also, in non-US countries people might take a more pragmatic approach, giving new tech a leg up.

E.g., China, India might not care so much about the US fertilizer lobby.
>It's not any harder to get used to than using whitespace for blocks in Python, or having to end every damn statement with a semicolon in the C inspired languages.

Strongly disagree.

I can move from C to Python without a second thought and rewrite code from one to the other without even thinking.

Having to rewrite an algorithm working on multidimensional arrays that was written with 0-based conventions to 1-based conventions and have the resulting code remain readable is a freaking headache.
I'm pretty confident that I answered every question accurately and that no answers would have changed based on anything I could have learned from a genetic test.

Health insurers were really bad about "prior conditions" before Obamacare. I think life insurance has always been more tightly regulated.

FWIW, my policy says the insurer can only challenge the application within the first two years.

Do you commute a long way? Is it possible that it's just your mind keeping busy/creative while you commute? I find my mind playing out similar doomsday scenarios and solutions when I'm doing something repetitive for longer periods of time.
Considering that there are no ships, swashbucklers, hand cannons, and captains named Hook, its probably not piracy! /s

But in reality, it is a copyright violation for those entities who have assets that are claimable today. Super-small company that died in '84 and took their assets to the grave probably don't matter. But I can guarantee that games like Pitfall sure have a legit claim.

How would someone make a claim against IP ownership on IPFS? You would have to legally deal with each machine that is hosting said hash of the copyrighted content. It is trivial to determine what machines have X hash content.

The ugly/funny fact here is, that when this link gets shared, if you're running ipfs locally, you cache it as well. That means that things that end up going viral scale up. It also means that attacks against a hash, like a Streisand attack, just don't work.
> Slightly off topic, but I read somewhere that some online video games censor anything that has the word "Xi" in it. Not sure if that is to prevent badmouthing him or to prevent Chinese political discussion altogether.

They can't prevent it altogether. I don't speak Chinese, but my understanding it that it's a punner's paradise, and online political discussion in China occurs using a dense and ever-changing system of slang and puns.

> To protect your eyes from blue light, Karunarathne advises to [...] avoid looking at your cell phones or tablets in the dark.

Can someone explain why it would be worse to look at a cell phone in the dark? It's emitting the same blue light (or less, if the display gets dimmer) as it is in a bright environment. Why is that light more harmful in a dark environment?
Could depend on the age group and driving record. In some age groups men can be overly aggressive drivers but overall less accidents compared to women.

For the person who downvoted OP was referring to the EU. Previously men paid less but when EU decided statistics are sexist now both pay the same higher amount. Yay for the consumer
While everyone is pointing out the practical, long-term benefits of pure mathematics, I disagree with the premise that there needs to be a practical pursuit associated with mathematics or any other theoretical fields (including the humanities). Sometimes we study things to pursue knowledge itself. If we're talking strictly about public funding, then sure, let's talk about practicality, but otherwise I'm happy that someone is getting funded by a university to devote their lives to something like the Riemann hypothesis. Expanding known human knowledge is justification itself I think. One shouldn't expect it to be easy, or to pay especially well -- it's its own privilege.
You can wear glasses that filter blue light.

The article mentions wearing them outside, but they work inside as well.

I wear them, and they provide other benefits for me as well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16529054#16531413)
I've long held that Discord lacks an actual business model. This is the first time I could honestly say they have one, as the benefits of Nitro were a joke.

Of course, it's interesting they chose a business model that nobody has ever succeeded at: Competing with Steam. You need exclusives to draw people to your game platform, and with that on PC comes "why can't I just get this on Steam?" Without something like a "Games Anywhere" offering sync, you'd also have to have people buy games anew on your platform.
Black lights used in clubs generally don't have enough power to cause eye damage or sun burn, therefore, I would not be too concerned.

Lights used in something like a tanning bed, can obviously burn your skin and also damage your eyes that is why people should wear eye protection, or do the healthy thing and not tan at all.
I use f.lux all day I don't know if I'm particularly sensitive or if it's all in my head but when I turn off f.lux, especially at night, to watch some movie or video I can physically feel my pupils dilate and it almost feels like my eyes go from being at rest to being strained.
No, but they do vote, and they may just vote for an angry populist.
There is. To save people the click, there's a pair of functions - QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency. QPC gives you ticks, QPF gives you ticks per second, so QPC / QPF is the rational you seek.

Don't read it then. It wasn't written for you or anyone else specifically.
Containers are a nice clean abstraction: a system within a system, where every process running inside it shares the container's filesystem, PID list, and networking. Things can get a little gnarly when the abstraction leaks, but in principle they're easy to understand. This is a lot uglier precisely because it's not total isolation: the processes that use it share most of their filesystem view, networking, etc with the rest of the system, can interact with everything else on the system, but some of their filesystem view is different and the exact difference depends on when the process was started.
Might want to add [2011] to the title. The issues Brian discusses have been fixed/improved -- in HTCondor at least -- since this was written.
Also, it's not like Moxie hasn't discussed this. At length. GP deliberately ignores Moxie's reasoned responses to exactly this issue.
You call this complete nonsense, but you never explain the existence of this backdoor.

Your pupils are dilated; you're receiving more light.
This is not a permanent solution because simply shifting the color temperature has the side effect of generating melatonin and disrupting your circadian clock. You really need a daylight white spectrum and not concentrate all the blue-green energy in one blue spike.
> the highest rate of antidepressant use of any state

I see that commonly mentioned.

What is not concurrently mentioned is that Utah is 48th for drug abuse [1], 48th for excessive drinking and 50th for alcohol-related driving deaths [2], and 50th for tobacco use [3].

Depression sucks, but anti-depressants are far, far safer (if not cheaper) than self-medicating with alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

I read through the first few pages thinking, "Get to the point: how did you detect the upload/download speed?" Finally,

> The only catch is... what upload/download speeds should we give to cake? Okay, I cheated for that one. I just asked my dad what speed his DSL link goes in real life, and plugged those in.

So the critical problem remains unsolved. If the ISP ever increases their speed cap, it goes to waste; if they decrease the speed cap, the fix stops working. I use a similar solution, but I have to turn it off and retest a few times a year, because Comcast sometimes changes the speed without notifying me.
Are you sure there's not something on your network limiting your connection? When I had Gb many things were significantly faster. Most downloads would be at least 100Mbps. Steam would be 300-500Mbps.

Web browsing specifically has marginal improvements as the speed increases towards Gb. Latency has a larger impact as a percentage.
Interesting.
The article itself does not add much insight from the professor (Dr. Melissa González) since she didn't respond to requests for comments, so it is based on a research paper she cited and an email she sent to potential students.

If you're interested in these type of experiments, you should read some of the books by behavioral economics professor Dr. Dan Ariely. He has several talks online as well. I'm partial to his first book on this topic, Predictably Irrational, but he has several other books exploring human behavior.
I was under the impression that identifying the trigger can be quite difficult, to the point where some folks who suffer from Chronic migraines can spend years trying to figure out the combination of factors that act as the trigger?
Genetic discrimination should probably be illegal in all forms of insurance. I think Long Term Care insurance may then become prohibitively expensive or even impossible to buy on the private market, though.
Because you defined binary counting to start at 0
I agree that the PhD system needs some rethinking but I don't think focusing research on more 'practical' problems is necessarily a good idea. I have seen 'practical' research going on in industry labs and I think it often falls into a no man's land of neither being practical nor advancing the state of knowledge in any meaningful way. Citation counts are problematic in some ways, but they do approximately measure what the research community thinks of as important work. I agree they seem to suffer from overly promoting "what's in fashion." OTOH, there is benefit to having a community of researchers all focusing on one topic at a time so that ideas can be exchanged and build on one another. Just like with startups, for some good ideas, it may just be that they are being proposed at the wrong time or haven't found the exact right form yet.
I'm going to guess that psychology research is far less expensive. To give you a sense of perspective here, $25k will get you something like 4 months of a full time employee at the "fresh out of college" experience level, including benefits and research consumables. That also assumes that you have all of the equipment in place.

If all there doing is running a few western blots, because that's all they can do on this budget, well then ok. But I'll venture to guess that that's a far cry from reproducing the most important results in these papers.
Evidently Facebook themselves don't agree with you, since their "Secret Conversations" feature uses Signal's protocol (many other systems also have equivalent features built out of Signal Protocol, Skype, Google Chat, XMPP ... it's a sort of trend)

In terms of how Signal compares to something like Facebook Messenger using HTTPS that's an actual technical question that's worth talking about (whereas "Oh no, Moxie Marlinspike is a mean person who hates F-Droid" is basically just noise)

HTTPS gives us two ingredients, both relevant here, TLS and HTTP. TLS is intended to deliver privacy and data integrity between two parties, it does a pretty good job at that, but it's very common to have configurations which do not result in Forward Secrecy. This means messages that couldn't be read by any potential adversary today could become readable tomorrow - long after both parties don't need them any more - if the adversary obtains a long term key. Your web browser might, possibly, tell you about this risk if you ask, but it definitely won't flag it in the main UI. Next, Facebook is authenticated to you by its proof of possession of a Private Key corresponding to the Public Key in a certificate from a Trusted Third Party CA. An adversary could corrupt this CA, but hopefully that's difficult.

Now, why does HTTP even matter? Well, although TLS _can_ authenticate both parties, on the Web today we rarely do that. Instead the web server is authenticated using TLS but the client (a Facebook user) has some crummy HTTP layer authentication, maybe a password like "1LvUrDog" filled into an HTML form field.

So, between those two cracks, if the Secret Police either steal your brilliant canine-related Facebook password or get Facebook to give them a long term key, they can read all your Facebook Messenger chat, eavesdropping on it indefinitely.

Signal doesn't use passwords. Your device has randomly picked a Private Key, but unlike Facebook you don't have a certificate from a CA, instead you can compare the associated Public Key on your device with that shown for another participant on their phone, if they don't match there's a Man in the Middle. So immediately that's an improvement, no password guessing.

Signal also has Forward Secrecy. In fact each message sent and received changes the keys used for future messages. As a result an adversary can only eavesdrop by actively impersonating one of the participants. In a two person conversation that's often likely to become obvious pretty quickly whereas passive eavesdropping is undetectable.
It's strange to worry about a $10k investment while we're both acknowledging the investment by way of accepting a below market salary is an order of magnitude higher.

If you can't afford dropping $10k to buy your equity then you can't afford taking a $10k lower base salary -- let alone a $100k lower base.
White Hat to Black Hat: What Motivates the Switch to Cybercrime

The benefit of software such as f.lux and Gnome Nightlight is that they turn themselves on at night and off in the morning. It seems like the OP wants to remove blue light at all times, in which case should be handled through your monitor settings. A software solution would be unnecessary.
As a person who had grand parents with Alzheimer’s, it's starting to sound like this is my better option. I can go through pain, suffering, and what not completely with it or I can slowly go out without knowing or understand anything that is going on. I think I will take the latter.
I'm not a doctor but in a dark environment your pupils would be less constricted.

From what i heard this is also why sunglasses that don't block UV light are worse than not having sunglasses at all.
So I used to have glasses with a blue blocker filter on them - I absolutely hated every second of wearing them. Literally everything appeared yellow through them - my screens, sheets of paper, even snow looked like it had been peed on - awful. I mean, it's certainly not surprising - they did block blue light after all. But I wore them for 3 months and then marched back to the optician to have them replaced with normal lenses. And the optician has promised that the effect would be very subtle and hardly noticeable in daily use - well, maybe I'm particularly sensitive to it, but the effect was very noticeable to me.
I wonder if the brightness settings have any bearing on this?

This is why I moved my domains to NameSilo. All they do is domains, and they specifically focus on providing a better service, rather than just relying on hosting/email customers needing a .com.
Your pupils are more dilated, due to the surrounding darkness, and hence let more light in. If you were to dim your screen enough to compensate, it would likely be too dark to read.
I don't think there's such a clear link between nonconformity in the sense of having a "normal" lifestyle and nonconformity in research. Or at least I have never viewed people who don't drink as less creative in research than those who do (to use one of your examples). If anything, a conformist is more likely to drink given that most people do and that there is a lot of social pressure to drink.

I think the problem comes more from uncritically accepting standard practices or beliefs, not from just doing something superficially different from others.
Recently, Steam rolled out Discord-like chat/community features: https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/24/17609872/steam-chat-new-f...

The biggest problem I have with it is that everything looks so much worse that I just wind up turning it off all the time.

As a person who isn't old, lives below his means, and doesn't have children, I don't see the problem here. From my perspective, life insurance is nothing but a big scam.
I don't anticipate dying any time soon, and if I do, I don't have any younger heirs. If I want to build wealth, I can do a lot better with index funds and mutual funds.

Honestly, I just don't see the point of life insurance at all, unless someone has a family with children and doesn't have any significant wealth accumulated.

Because of the way your eyes work.
If it is bright, your pupil will be shrunk, to not be blinded by the luminosity.
When it is dark, your pupil will be opened wide up.

It is this principle that camera apertures are based on.

Now if you have your pupil wide open in a completely dark environment and put a 100% brightness screen at ~10cm of your eyes, what do you expect will happen ?
Our eyes are made for nature, that means day and night, now we have technology that is akin to a handheld sun and you use this at night at 10cm of your face, our eyes are simply not equipped to handle this.

Why do you think you can speak for her? Why do you think you get it?
My first thought was, "This is terrible!"

My second thought was "Hm...maybe this means I'll be able to afford a house after all."
"as much as possible" would be to put it in a virtual machine, or actually separate physical hardware, maybe in a multi-million-dollar bank vault to prevent physical tampering.

Then there's a reasonable amount of isolation, which would be to run it under its own user, which can only write to one or two directories, and can't read user directories or non-world-readable system config files. This is already common practice. (Creating this user at package install time, or in the initial base distro config, is completely sufficient. And simpler.)

"as much as possible" is really not worth it (and sucks resources away from implementing reasonable security practices elsewhere).
You state that as if it's simple and anyone can do it.

What if something common like changes in atmospheric pressure trigger it? What if you have multiple common triggers? What if you don't know all your triggers?
Can someone say if it is harmful to use a blue light filtering software 24/7? I get its use at night, but would using it from sun up to sun down cause any problems?
