I wouldn’t blame capitalist conspiracy just yet what can be attributed to practical intentions for reasons:

0. Trying to prevent average developers from shooting themselves in the feet too often by having apps that depend on external servers to run, then having a big security incident and Apple being blamed for allowing insecure, third-party code to run.

1. Trying to keep tabs on devs pivoting too far without a re-review. Can’t sell a Farmville app that then becomes a bitcoin wallet which then steals said bitcoins.

2. Keep the quality of apps up by curating through review rather than allowing free, unlimited publishing of random/broken apps. It’s a small barrier to entry and proof that someone invested to make something worth publishing.

3. Malware for old/jailbroken iOS existed way back, but it’s not really a thing, anymore because 0days get mostly either reported to Apple or sold/auctioned off.

/r/low_poly is beautiful! Thank you for that. Why is Silo (http://nevercenter.com/silo/ --- is that the right URL?) particularly well suited for low-poly art?
Including "and can generate more productivity for society afterwards" as your Socratic baseline shows a gambler's fallacy.

The 90 year old has already contributed what he could to society. We know what he was worth and what he is worth, quantitatively speaking. Also, that 90 year old represents a much higher degree of cumulative investment by society, so now we are almost facing an argument of sunk cost fallacy vs gambler's fallacy... However, I would say you are discounting what he or she still has to offer, qualitatively, via knowledge and wisdom.

I would deny the gambler's fallacy by saying that somebody who gets cancer at 20 years is not just as likely to be as productive as someone who didn't get cancer until they were 90. They are actually more likely to be less productive and are already proving to be more expensive to keep alive, with much longer to go...

To say that the baseline should be how "productive" a 20 year old can be compared to a 90 year old, who's productive years are behind them, is imo to miss the point of life completely, and to relegate the purpose of man to that of farm equipment.

So, to follow your decision making basis all the way, they both would need to be let go. One is a lemon and the other is past its extended warranty.
For me I've started a whole YouTube channel editing and filming videos all on my note 8. I've given up my MacBook pro to my brother and have exclusively used it for a year. Nothing compares to the suite of features Samsung has and I really love the design of their latest UI. It's really Microsoft esque but if done right.

I use Samsung's DeX destop environment with a cheap USB c dongle that makes my note 8 a giant 24" Chromebook PC when I'm at my desk. It's really a desktop killer for me.
There are two types of payments in OpenBazaar: direct and moderated.

Direct is when buyers completely trust vendors. There's no escrow and no safety net at all.

Moderated is when both parties agree to a third party moderator and the funds go into a two of three multisig account. Two parties need to agree to release the funds. Normally it's the buyer and seller but if they can't agree then they open a dispute with the moderator, who resolves the dispute and sends the funds to rhe winning party (or slipts them).

Moderators get a small percentage payout when disputes are settled. It's an open marketplace for offering moderator services.

The moderator doesn't have complete control of the funds (two parties are needed) and they aren't even aware of the transaction until a dispute was opened, so it has some advantages over traditional centralized escrow services.

There aren't 3+ movies a week that are worth seeing.
Given the status of the media and political discourse right now, can you blame anyone for being anxious? If you went on what the former say about Trump (or randoms on social media sites say about anything) you'd think we were on the verge of World War 3. See another articles and internet posters screaming about how the 'other side' will destroy the world and all you hold dear, and well, I'd want a few books on anxiety too.
I'm wondering when I can use them for my wildcard SSL certs on Heroku. Anyone hear of them adding support?
Looks like the code is not obfuscated and even includes comments. Does anyone here have the URLs? Might be an interesting read.
The argument for gun control has never been that criminals will just obey the gun control laws.

The point is, and has always been, and will always be, to reduce the number of guns available. Fewer guns === fewer shootings. Axiomatic.

Of course, it's substantially easier said than done. But the mechanism by which gun control reduces gun crimes really doesn't require any criminal to spontaneously follow the law for some reason. It's a public-health measure, like vaccinating kids.

I live 5 minutes walk from the best cinema in my region. I don't see the value in these subscription services: there aren't three movies a year which are worth watching. Let alone a month.

I could see value if cinemas regularly screened non-current good films. Is that a thing in America?
YouTube removed his stuff, but I guess it is out of scope for this comment section?
those type of houses are mostly made of glue and plastic. There is a ridiculous amount of toxic glue in modern wood buildings.
It is flattering to be an object of attention of a large US national media outlet. And for a social activist, gaining the platform as wide and loud as Vice is very tempting. And, having positive past experience with western media, she probably was a bit naive about what could happen if things go wrong.
Yes, and I have strong feeling it probably is. It's a hard statistic to measure in other fields though. Fatalities due to heart failure are pretty open and shut. For other conditions, especially in fields such as psychiatry, the effect of doctors not taking the symptoms of women seriously is more likely to manifest in the form of misdiagnoses, which can't be easily detected or tracked. Furthermore, many criteria for diagnosing diseases were developed based on primarily male subjects, so some conditions (such as autism-spectrum disorders) are somewhat underdiagnosed in women due to confusion over presentation in female patients. That isn't necessarily the doctor's fault, but the outcome can make it hard to distinguish whether the fault is with a doctor who dismissed a patient's symptoms due to sex, or whether it's just insufficient diagnostic criteria.
Nope, it's just hidden on the home screen where you're already as far "back" as you can go.
I also wonder if it might be because men are trained to complain less and "man up". But the whole concept of "hysteria" has a long medical history so we certainly can't ignore that very possible reality.
They absolutely should not. FB is either lying to the public, or to itself. It has shown zero capacity to self-regulate, and as soon as someone there has a monetization scheme sufficiently powerpointed out, its a toboggan run down a mountain of turd to the result.
What what?

That's what you took away from the article?
Well, ideally you would know more than just the number of patients. The roughest estimate would be to compute the expected variance of a binomial distribution with N=120e3 and P=0.12, which gives a standard deviation of 0.00094, so a difference of 0.5% is well over 5 standard deviations out. Not quite good enough for particle physics, but you're damn right it's good enough for medicine.

Now you just have to look at group sizes, possible confounding factors, etc...
This is the game we've invented and which rules we usually play by. This area is waiting to be peacefully disrupted.
I bet they weren't quite sure what they had to do to make the game even. The previous rounds were hugely in favor of the ai and it sounds like they don't have much experience playing against humans at this level.
How does this make the headlines while I haven't seen anything about men dying 6 years earlier?
My point (poorly articulated) was that, in an environment where the cost of labor is driven to zero, there doesn't necessarily need to be much revenue involved at all.

And of course Chicago is a major cartel nexus, so there's plenty of illicit money sloshing around.
I'd like to have metadata about the materials used in the lenses, specifically info about wetting agents. My go-to lens is Acuvue Moist, which has the "Lacreon" wetting agent, aka polyvinylpyrrolidone. When my lens store stopped carrying Moist, I had a hard time figuring out which other brand would have an equivalent gradual moisture release effect, given the jungle of proprietary material names. I'm not saying I'd like to see the chemical formula for each lens (although that would be nice too), but some physical parameters beyond brand name and type of lens would be useful.
Depending on the source of your anxiety you might find that "Enlightenment Now!" by Steven Pinker is helpful. It was for me with my anxiety about the course of humankind.
I’m just asking because you seem to insist that OpenBazaar is an inevitable failure and a useless waste of time, while I can imagine it being quite successful within a few years.
Your engaging in ad hominem runs counter to "upholding the social norms of free speech and tolerance". Try to avoid insulting someone's honesty and character based on their saying that they enjoy rants by people all over the map (some of which, based on the variety, he must disagree with). I have found that I can enjoy speeches by people I disagree with. While most of Alex Jones' rants are fantastical and accusatory not all of them are. Since you do not know which speeches/rants the OP comment found particularly enjoyable, there is not enough information to make a deductive conclusion.
As someone whose first editor was qed I appreciate this history. Although it is too easy to get caught up in nostalgia, it is useful to understand just how tall the shoulders we stand on today were. Some were giants.
I switched to an iphone a few months ago. Lack of a headphone jack bothered me for about a day. I got used to it very quickly, and now much much prefer the iphone to my old Android device.
In my experience male chickens act more aggressively to male humans than female humans. I think they are aware of our sex.
Monitor and lobby congressional reps, and vote or campaign against them in the primaries if they don't behave. They count calls, and for the most part, not many people contact them. You may find a little effort here is quite rewarding.
I don't have an explanation for the five years beyond your guess.

Rather sooner, at the end of September 2021 the DST Root CA X3 that cross-signs their existing intermediates expires.

In practice many systems don't directly obey expiries baked into root certs, a self-signed root certificate is largely a vehicle for conveniently moving the key inside it, it's not signed by anybody we trust independently so why care what it does or does not say about that key?

And of course if the IdenTrust / ISRG relationship remains good there's no reason IdenTrust can't sign new Let's Encrypt intermediates with another of their CA roots that hasn't expired. The short lifetime of Let's Encrypt leaf certs means they wouldn't even need to have decided before 2021 what to do about this.
I'm in Ukraine now and it seems that I can buy most of the lenses for a fraction of US price. Here's one of the online shops I used last time: https://linza.com.ua/ to convert UAH to USD you can divide by 25 (actually 27, but 25 gives good enough approximation and is easier to divide by). The same lenses I bought with VSP in the US for >= $150 cost here $14/month. And the most expensive monthly supply of daily lenses here costs $38.

Heck. Here's a vending machine in a random gas station in Moscow selling them contact lenses: https://imgur.com/a/mCf9XfB

Going to an eye doctor to check your eyesight can be done in pretty much any contact lens/glasses store on a walk-in basis. Last time my eye exam was free because I happened to buy a pack of lenses (I overpaid for the lenses, though).

The US seriously needs to figure out why the heck are you paying so damn much before you guys consider universal healthcare.
They don't report it in their abstract, which is all the majority of HN has access to. As a result any conclusions reached will be unfounded. (Unless someone gets the paper and tells us what it said, which is what the linked article's authors were supposed to be doing...)

Edit: The thing is that in the abstract no form of statistical indicator was reported. That plus its absence from the linked article means that unless someone here can get access to the paper our discussion is in vain.

Think of it as a percentage of the workforce. Whether they tax the money or borrow it, they're still consuming a certain portion of the nation's collective effort on whatever it pays for. That work could have been spent doing more useful or less useful nongovernmental stuff, or people could retire earlier.
We do have good regulations on sharing, the Constitution, which should have prohibited the very back door mass surveillance that is going on right now as a function of the 4th amendment and the government's inherent interest in business and interstate commerce, i.e., data.

Reality though is that not only are the same forces that are going after our right to defend ourselves, and our right to free speech, they have long been going after our right to anonymity from government and allowed the clear and utter violation of our "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures".

It's one thing if Facebook, et al., were open and clear about "we provide this service in exchange for being able to track every single thing you do and keep every picture you upload and sell that information to any number of companies however we see fit" and you say "ok, that's fine by me". But that's not what actually happens and they are actually a de facto authoritarian surveillance state.

What do you do when you have that pesky 4th amendment that keeps you from setting up the Department of the Surveillance State??? Well, of course, you fund and support and ally and create "partnerships" with those * wink, wink * private companies to do the mass surveillance. It's basically the same kind of back door violation of the Constitution like the 5 eyes agreement that "well, if we can't spy on our own poeople, we'll just have the brits do it for us and then just tell us what they find" .... That's constitutional, right?

IBM Watson Recommends Unsafe Treatments
If you delay input for two frames, it's very noticeable. Mac OS X had 32ms mouse latency for years, and it was awful. It was annoying while using the desktop and obnoxious in games like Team Fortress 2.

I played a bunch of Arkham Asylum and DiRT 3 while using OnLive streaming, and the input latency definitely made some parts of the games harder than they would have been otherwise. I'd be hesitant to use streaming technology for any competitive game; you're handicapping yourself if you're playing against people who aren't streaming.
That's what I figured - the whole s2n tangent's been pretty interesting, thanks!
"Facebook said it wouldn’t use the bank data for ad-targeting purposes or share it with third parties."

Feel like this only pertains to time of publishing. They will just wait a month or two until everyone forgets and do it anyway.
Don't you want to know the sources of the traffic too?
Quoting the article:

> Female doctors may also simply be performing at least some parts of the job better than their male counterparts do

Imagine writing the vice versa about any other profession.
I'm curious to know if the AI can win with a 50-50 draft. It can be argued that the main reason the humans lost was because they didn't have a feel for the meta of this 18-hero version of Dota, while the bots did. What if you give the humans an equal chance at the game wrt the draft? That would have made for a much more interesting game than having the humans play a game they've never played before in their lives.
It's easy from the one direction: There's nothing stopping instance hosts from also hosting email addresses that match user account names. It might even be a good idea for some instances, in keeping a trust relationship, if your Mastodon instance was also your email provider of choice.

From the other direction is tougher, because you have a many-to-many relationship to try to consider. It's a variation of the problems of OG OpenID and/or Mozilla Persona (RIP to both). If I want to use example.account@gmail.com, how do you map that to a "main" instance if you can't ask gmail.com because Google doesn't currently care about WebFinger or ActivityPub? Do you use a central database somewhere? Does that defeat the goals of decentralization you were going for in the first place?

I garden in my suburban backyard just fine. You don't need to move to the middle of nowhere.

It's really satisfying though, I agree.
==Large companies can choose which country they are taxed in just like you and I can choose which market we shop at. If your preferred market decides to raise prices while another decides to lower them, this would not be considered a loophole. It would be considered business savvy or competition.==

To complete your market analogy, can you explain what "services" the country provides the company?
> Makes me wonder if you could make an electric-assist bike where the assist was on the front wheel, thus saving all the complicated mechanical power transfer.

This exists, it's called the GeoOrbital Wheel. It converts your bike to electric just by swapping out the front wheel. Pedaling is optional, so it's actually more than just an assist, it can operate in a fully electric mode. http://www.geoo.com

I own one and I'm very pleased with it.

There are also a bunch of front wheel e-bike conversion kits on Amazon, last I looked.
If I read this correctly then apparently several million hardware encryption devices - including Yubikeys - have weak RSA keys which can be factored in a reasonable amount of time for a few tens of thousands of dollars worth of cloud computing power.

The Summary of results section has the really fun stuff, including vulnerable Yubikey 4, vulnerable TPM chips in laptops, vulnerable Git keys for "crucial open source repositories", vulnerable Estonian eIDs, and that favorite of intelligence agencies everywhere, vulnerable SCADA systems.
Because Facebook is not public discourse. Facebook is a private message board.

The radio show isn't banned. They can host it on their on platform with their own money. It's simply no longer being promoted and paid for by a private website.

Alex Jones has his own website. He can go to the FCC and get a broadcast license and play by the same rules as everyone else and broadcast his show on terrestrial radio if he wishes.

His speech isn't being stifled. No one is telling him he's not allowed to say it, and his listeners are free to continue to listen to his drivel.

Anonymous Declares War on QAnon
I went on a long tangent but let me answer your specifically:

I think its important to constantly experiment to see what works for you. Starting simple is usually best

I would take a moleskin notebook, and just treat 1 page of journalling = 1 day. Start doing this everyday. You'll soon realize how inefficient this is, and move onto something easier (e.g. a computer) for journalling

But you learned an important lesson on journalling, which is the commitment and discipline. I still journal this way, specifically my workout training logs. 3 full days of workout = 1 page in my notebook. E.g. legs/abs (top of page), chest/triceps/shoulders(middle of page), and upperback/biceps (top of page).

Whenever I think of structure, I usually think of universal ways to organize things. There's two ways to organize things

- TIME

- PLACE

When you journal, or write blog posts, this is always TIME-based organization. This mean you organize things chronologically

PLACE is when you take notes for some computer science online course. Its always organized by some folder. You can sort these A-Z, that's also a PLACE parameter too.

Something that is organized by TIME, cannot also be organized by PLACE on the same level. You can organize a PLACE (moleskin notebook) for your journal, and then on a sublevel by TIME(each chronological page is new day)

I hope this makes sense
I've run into situations like this where I was able to use a window function or a materialized view, to get huge speed gains. It basically was restructuring the tables into a new view, much like the shell script did in this case, and that view then could be optimized by the query planner much more effectively.

One was with an internal database we used for tracking employee time and generating invoices and reports. I forget the exact details but this technique took it down from an hour to a second, or similar.

Another time was more recently in an interview, using the mysql employee sample database. I had a naive query that did most of what was needed, but after quite a bit more work I was able to make a materialized view that caused the query to go from using 64+GB of RAM and dying from OOM after 4 hours, to running in 45 minutes in 2GB of RAM.

It usually takes me hours and hours to put together though. Because I do it so infrequently.
Your model struggles with fitting the preponderance of anxiety for the historically-relatively well off, or even, say, the high anxiety in the upper privileged classes of the US. Particularly compared to low anxiety rates in communities around the world that suffer much more hardship.
Everyone needs to run for office and vote for themselves. Failing that, find out who is running that most faithfully represents your interests, and vote for them.

The current federal government is so far out of step with the populace that a blanket anti-incumbent rule doesn't seem all that bad. The only real question is whether to vote against them in the general election, or just the primaries.

There is a very real possibility that someone else on the ballot is actually worse than the incumbent, which barely seems possible, yet here we are.
