Exciting to see this! I can attest to how programs like this can be so impactful. I attended a summer research program during my undergrad called the MIT Summer Research program, and it changed my life. The program enabled me to work and get connected with some of the most brilliant professors and researchers in the world. I worked at the MIT Media Lab, where it instilled my passion for Augmented Reality and software engineering. I leveraged that internship to get letters of recommendations, which enabled me to be accepted to an Ivy league school for graduate school, a dream that I didn't think was possible for me.
This doesn't seem true. What about having voting rights on board members/company direction? How do worker-owned co-ops even function if this is the 'whole point of owning part of a company'. Why do we take 'maximize shareholder value' as though it's some rule handed down by god and the only possible way to operate a company, public or otherwise? It just isn't the case.
There've certainly been forks. Arguably even the occasional rewrite. :)
UCLA Researchers Develop Optical AI Device That Mimics Human Brain – TOP500
There's a large group of people who are similarly obsessed with low blood sugar when their blood sugar is in fact just fine. There is even a term for this: "functional hypoglycemia", as opposed to actual hypoglycemia. Exact same story.

It's basically anxiety, and it can be treated by a psychiatrist. A combination of drugs to calm you down and psychotherapy (cbt or emdr) to address any underlying "stuck" reactions or other causes. And when I'm saying "drugs" I don't mean something heave that turns you into a vegetable, for milder cases like yours there are fairly mild drugs.

Go to a specialist, you don't have to keep playing this role. Many people end up much better in 8 weeks of treatment.
The title is misleading, as other medications have been used for migraine prophylaxis. This is the first drug, per the article, that has been specifically approved for migraine prophylaxis. Medications such as beta blockers and valproic acid are other medications used for migraine prophylaxis but were originally approved for other conditions.

Additionally, please note that this drug has already been approved in the US, since May.

Now, onto the meat of this. If I'm not mistaken, erenumab is a cgrp inhibitor that made much fanfare a few months ago in New England Journal of Medicine when two studies found a clinical benefit in cgrp.

Basically healthcare providers are prescribing this if you failed the aforementioned therapies for migraine prophylaxis (since those are way cheaper).

On a funnier note, medical students such as myself have started referring to all of these new biologic drugs as "what-the-f*-umabs" since they all have weird names and we can't keep up with the rapid development of them.
I'm sorry to hear that this is the way things are for you. I've never worked at a company with this kind of culture, and would leave one in an instant. This is disgusting, and shouldn't be the way things are.
Maybe not perfectly secure, but it's a big step up from the current devices. Being able to physically separate devices (e.g. baseband/modem) and toggle them off would allow you to obtain a much more secure environment.
I've anecdotally heard a lot of stories about the relay/replay attacks on keyless ignition systems used in many BMW models and other cars as well. No need to smash the window at all in some cases. Remarkably simple attack in principle, and probably a nightmare to explain to your insurer given there will be no evidence of a break in.

Makes you wonder if you should start storing the key in a metal/RF shielded box at home...

Kandao Obsidian: New generation of cameras can be affordable 360-degree VR video
Well, I think for a device like this the most important thing is a very reliable, high quality software (the hardware components are already out there and have been tested already). As the software is the same for all devices, I would expect that it should be possible to cover the overhead of software development, QA, etc. by the number of devices you would sell.

After all, we are not speaking about running medical studies here, just about letting a secure software bridge the different components. So building a software which is well tested (in terms of software tests) and does not inject you when its not supposed to do so, should not be that impossible.

If you haven't encountered it, examine.com is a good resource; they curate research on supplements.

In the Human Effect Matrix, in the Anxiety entry, you can see a link to 3 double-blind, placebo controlled studies examining the effects of ashwagandha on anxiety: https://examine.com/rubric/effects/view/a42299063269c89b14ce...

As far as sourcing, you could look at consumerlab (paid subscription; they do independent testing of supplements).
Back in the day (2004 maybe?) I bought a device called the Broadband Booster (I think it was also called BBB). Two Ethernet ports (10/100 I think) and a power port. Really just a bump in your line.

Worked like a charm. I remember that it was specifically designed to get rid of buffer bloat, with traffic prioritization for streaming, VOIP, etc. I honestly think it was config-less though, so it doesn’t make sense unless it was also testing the speed on a regular basis and adjusting itself.

Edit: found it: Hawking Broadband Booster (HBB1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009PLO0Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jEiB...
One of the things I do not miss in the slightest from my time working at IBM was their use of Lotus Notes databases all through the processes they used in finance. In hindsight it is a text book example of a tool that gives the installation great freedom in customizing and tailoring the system to their needs, but provides very little in terms of configuration management or evolved system visibility.

What really surprises me though is that IBM doesn't have a tool for extracting the resulting system out of Lotus notes and putting into something else. They could have used it internally to modernize their finance systems, and they could sell such a tool to the consultants who would bid on modernizing the police department's systems.

I think the complaining about the $176K as an expense is silly (its pretty cheap) the complaint that they aren't investing in modernization is more critical.

In terms of ways to change the world with software, these sorts of business process systems are a place where there is always room for improvement it seems.
Please actually read the article before saying that the accusations are invalid.
SGX is not a magic bullet, it's only part of a secure system. It's also come under some fire, check out this paper:

SGX alone cannot solve this problem. Even in the idealized case, you can sniff traffic on the router to find out which user IPs are talking to each other and when.
But once it came out, once he was actually caught feeding semen to students, it was STILL hard to fire him.

"Listen, I don’t have a problem with firing teachers. I just don’t think the common perception of “infinite job security” for teachers is accurate.

A much larger and more concerning issue - in my opinion - is that we have very poor measures for teacher effectiveness."

If bad teachers, by your own admission, are not being fired, teachers have the very job security you claim they lack. If being fired for bad performance is unlikely and schools are much less likely to run out of funding than a company (if run even semi-responsibly), these jobs may not have "infinite job security" but they're as close to that as can reasonably be found. After all, what is job security if not confidence you will not be fired?

I think one of my points is that what you call a “tacked on hodge podge” is actually a desirable trait, isolated and targeted optimization of only subcomponents. This is preferred to working a language where the whole thing inhabits that same space.

> if you're worried about feedback loops, maybe don't lend based on any criteria other than the best possible estimate of ability to pay the loan back.

That is itself the tightest of feedback loops, because the best estimator is either current wealth, or past performance of loans. It is massively exclusionary so I don't think your point is very well made.
Another example of user-hostility: I search google for "X using Y" and I get a bunch of results about X where Y is explicitly excluded, i.e. Y with a strikethru and a link saying "actually search for the fucking thing you typed in"... That's a very frustrating UX. I really should give DDG another go.
Clickbait title. The article itself seems mostly positive, rational, and informative but the poor citizens of Baltimore are getting squeezed for ad dollars instead of being kept properly informed about local events. This is a nonstory and the journalist knows it. Baltimore PD is getting a great deal supporting their legacy IT while they convert to a modern system that will no doubt cost many times more to purchase, integrate and maintain.

I am excited about LED lights for their efficiency, but keep seeing articles like this and don't understand the practical ramifications, like "what bulbs should I buy?"

I messaged Cree on Twitter, expecting a very corporate response, but they linked to some studies (which I haven't yet had time to explore.) FWIW - https://www.energy.gov/eere/ssl/street-lighting-blue-light-a... and https://www.lrc.rpi.edu/resources/newsroom/pr_story.asp?id=3... were the resources they suggested.
Reading your answer made me feel a little less crazy (thank you?). It is actually reassuring to know there are people experiencing the same stuff and doubts, and that i'm not alone.

We all should really talk about this with our friends, coworkers, etc. We should let the word out. I don't know about you but I feel embarrassed of this condition, like I'm a lesser person because of this. And not talking about it makes me even more anxious... I don't like admitting it. When I talk about it freely (like I am doing now, in a somewhat leap of confidence (hopelessness? haah)) I feel way more relaxed and the monster becomes a little smaller.

We are probably fine bro! You certainly wouldn't be able to bike 16km with a heart condition. It's all in our heads.

Also, there is a lot of it to being a perfectionist. I somewhere read that having a low pulse is a good sign. When I'm really relaxed my pulse is like, 60-58bpm.... now picture this:

I am at work right now, sitting in my chair, typing this and juggling 10 other tasks, I am definitely not relaxed. Just measured my pulse using a cellphone app, I'm at 70bpm, which is quite good (since the normal range is 60-100). BUT:

- Why did I measure my HR in the first place just because I read about yours, even tho I am not experiencing any kind of symptoms right now?

- Having measured it, and seeing a pretty normal number, why am I not satisfied? why am I apprehensive that it's not the 'best' number that could come out, it's only a 'good' number? I would have had some reason to be worried if i was sitting here feeling absolutely nothing and then I got a reading of idk, 105bpm. So why everything has to be always perfect in my head?

We create these fantasies that things are/should be clear cut in real life, but we know everything is chaotic and imperfect. As we cling more and more into our 'perfect mental models' we suffer because it will always mismatch with reality.

We should take a moment to stop and be grateful for what we have, instead of suffering for not attaining the perfect unattainable pattern we strive for.

Answering your question: I have taken meds before (Xanax), and all symptoms went away, and then my ocd kinda receded too, I had a phase I simply forgot about all this and just lived.

I am off it now because my doctor said I am already experienced enough to power through the panic attacks, and she knew I have a preference for not being on meds if I can (which is where I am now - trying to be sane and exercise and eat well and just power through).

My BP phobia is really hard on me but if I don't relapse to the 'measuring everyday all day long' stage I am not going back to meds, nope. I want the real thing.

Right now I am managing it quite okay, following the shrink's recommendation to just NOT MEASURE IT. not even if i have symptoms, not even if i have palpitations. The thought occurs to me and I try to acknowledge it and talk myself out of it, much like starting to meditate.

Sorry for the huge answer but I felt 'at home' sharing this with you since it looks like we are very similar in this regard. Hope this helps you and everyone that reads this.

If you wanna reach out, I am here.

I see the logic behind this. I guess part of me wishes that the fact that this is investment, rather than philanthropy, were made more clear. I didn't realize that financial sustainability was contingent on bringing in non-donated money.

We can't wait to be in markets removed from the economics of SF! San Francisco has the highest costs of running a restaurant (labor, rent, food) and consequently, hurts our margins.

In other areas removed from social drivers, we'll spend less time on our viral social media presence and more on grassroots marketing and community engagement.

It's our thought that if we can make it (twice) in SF, we can make it in other areas where the unit economics are so much better.
You and I aren’t his audience then, I guess.

==and has many classically conservative policies.==

Please expand on this statement. From my perspective, I see someone who supports tariffs, closed borders, increased debt, increased spending, handouts for specific industries ("picking winners and losers"), vilification of law enforcement, and more. These all go directly against traditionally "conservative" principles.

==are you implying news outlets simply sell screen-time and print-space==

How do you think the media makes money as a business? They are called advertisements, typically one must pay for them. In Trump's case, they covered him non-stop free of charge, essentially gifting him free advertising.

==And yes of course the abundance of newspapers openly stating they wanted his opponent to win is evidence of being anti-Trump==

Endorsements are done by editorial boards, which are distinct from journalists. The TV journalists gave Trump air time by not only showing all of his rallies, but showing the empty podium before the rallies. Meanwhile the rallies of Hillary Clinton were not covered in the same breathless way. The Washington Post wrote an entire article about it and estimated it at $2 billion[1].

In my opinion it doesn't hurt to re-state common sense sometimes, particularly for 2 reasons:

1. We have so much going on in our head it reminds us that we can simplify it down to a more basic concept. In layman's terms, "get out of our own heads".

2. It provides external validation that our approach is correct. Seeing it stated in Scientific American and knowing that other people such as yourself also adhere to this "common sense" logic validates my line of thinking.

> AFTER a PhD is finished they can go on and try to influence society using their skills, or not.

Exactly this. The primary skill developed during a PhD (for me, and those around me), is knowing the difference between:

1. solutions that can be pulled from literature (bake),

2. solutions that should be easy to assemble from existing solutions (buy),

3. what technology requires a small-to-medium delta above and beyond the bleeding edge (build)

All those are research, but far too often (3) is what everyone targets.
Does that matter? It's built-in now, and that's why I commented. To raise awareness. If built-in features have you covered there is no point going third-party.
This is a chicken-egg scenario:

1) I'd be less apprehensive about giving away 8% to any (!) company I found if I knew the network/guidance/community were proven.

2) You need track records of success before the network/guidance/community is seen as worth it. Right now, it's a gamble since you're new.

So you need a population of people willing to take a lower amount of money with a gamble on community quality.

Given that, it seems better off to wait.
