Janer says the young boy would have projected his social needs on to the animals and imagined relationships with them. “When Pantoja says the fox laughed at him, or that he had to tell off the snake, he gives us a version of the true reality, what he believes happened – or how, at least, he explained the reality to himself,” Janer told me. “Marcos’s mind was desperate for social acceptance,” he told me, “so instead of understanding the animals’ presence as incentivised by the food, he thought they were trying to make friends.”

I continue to be perplexed as to why otherwise intelligent people deny the possibility of personality and social relations among other species, or that of interspecies communication. Then again this is just the mildest example in this story of people's capacity for being awful.
Same. Every time there's a Blue Ocean update it requires you to update two dozens other plugins, many of which I don't use and can't get rid of (like the github one). And more annoying is the fact that you can't "select all" to update all plugins, you have to select them one by one.
I actually need the PIN for any payment over €25, which can still be done with NFC. Besides that, I'd say I still need to enter my PIN for small payments roughly once every 2 weeks.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions apparently signed onto this statement of policy, so it's not anything close to the unelected bureaucrats creating policy you imagine.
The Neutis is $49, the VoCore2 is $18. They seem to have different power consumption as well. While it might be similar in size, the cost difference is substantial. The best choice as usual depends on the project.

Arguably one dose per year. Arguably several in close sequence, but still very intermittently, such as once a year. Senescent cells accumulate slowly, so there is no reason to dose frequently on an ongoing basis. Different mouse studies of dasatinib + quercetin used single doses or a few monthly doses in sequence. This is true of dasatinib, but varies for other chemotherapeutic senolytics. Bcl-2 inhibitor chemotherapeutics generally want a week or a few weeks of dosing, rather than a single dose, which is a compelling reason to avoid them until better versions come along. The FOXO4-DRI injected peptide was a single treatment of three doses over a week in mice. That again is probably once a year in humans until someone turns up with evidence to suggest otherwise.

Validation of the above educated guess, and some form of dose optimization, will arrive sometime after the introduction of good senescence assays that don't involve staining tissue samples, something that isn't viable for everyday human medicine.

As to what "partially reversed" means, the answer is "read the literature". It is all out there. Search PubMed for "senolytic". Use Sci-Hub to read papers. The comparison pictures of treated and untreated mice in papers that have them are particularly telling, but no substitute for the raw data on arthritis, cardiovascular function, inflammation, neural function, tissue elasticity, etc.

For side effects, a single dose dasatinib pharmacokinetics study in volunteers with lots of references to start you off: https://doi.org/10.1124/dmd.107.018267
You won't feel that different at 60 than you do now.
I don't think "going well" is the same as not being dysfunctional. That someone can e.g. have decent life as a upper middle class American doesn't take away from the fact that the systems themselves are dysfunctional. There are millions and millions of people who lack de facto good access to health care, education, housing, transportation and other things that should be a basic in a modern society.

In most of the rest of the world it might be even worse. Especially if you also consider the size of countries like India and China. Most countries have only had peace for less than a century. New technologies end up abusing, if not killing, hundreds of thousands of people. The global economy seem to experience one large crash every decade. A lot of things are getting better, but I certainly wouldn't say the are getting more functional. I would even say that a lot of development is more unsustainable today than ever.

When a million people don't die in traffic every year I will get more hopeful about humanities ability to handle existential threats. Until then let's hope for a something smaller event first (I don't really know the distribution of something like a meteor).
I took part is such a scheme as a youngster.

Pop bottles carried a .05 charge on each bottle, refunded when the empty bottle was returned to the store. Careless consumers (litterers) might just throw the bottles out. Likewise lazy consumers might decide it's 'beneath them' to bring back the empties. But for hungry young scavengers like myself (had to pay for 'Space Invaders' somehow) it was a great source of income.

I'd be glad to see the same idea scaled up.

I used to think the same thing, that it was supposedly environmental groups that stopped nuclear.

However, after investigating the history more closely, it appears that nuclear construction projects were boondoggles even before Three Mile Island. Economics, not activism, is what killed nuclear in the US.

Nuclear has always been marketed under a lie, that its cheap, and perhaps too cheap to meter. In reality, well engineered projects are insanely complex, requiring huge material and labor costs during construction. And then there's maintenance.

People always talk about regulations driving up costs for nuclear, but they never talk about inappropriate regulations that drive up costs, meaning that the high costs are necessary.

And when you think about the design of the things, there's no reason to think it should be cheap: the nuclear is merely a heat source, which still requires the massive amount of machinery needed for steam turbines. The only part of the thing that's potentially cheaper is fuel, but to handle that fuel you've got to have massively engineering and equipment efforts.

This history of nuclear is always glossed over by its boosters. It's really expensive, and if we didn't have better options now, we should build it anyway. And we should have built a lot during the 80s like France did.

But today, grid storage is far cheaper than nuclear, and it makes no sense at all to ever build a new nuclear plant. Let's keep existing ones running until they're replaced with other carbon free sources, but for new investment, current nuclear tech is dead. New SMR, maybe maybe some day if it's cheap, but we shall see in a few decades, it's not available today like storage, wind, water, and solar are.
This is also my issue with TheGuardian. Their reporting on internal issues in foreign countries is lacking in impartiality. It is not clear to me whether this is intentional or whether it is just that they put trust in the wrong foreign sources. I suspect the latter. Nonetheless they end up publishing some really ignorant and biased pieces about counties that Britons have no clue about, and thus cannot hold the paper accountable for.

Seriously, that AMP page is an abomination.
This is the first I’m hearing of such a thing. Are you requiring MFA for your root and IAM accounts?
Yes, a career as a firefighter is a great one, only if you can get into it somehow. Those in the know already know this and actively try to channel their sons/nephews/friends into firefighting jobs.

1.
Los Angeles Times recently did some reporting on Los Angeles Fire Department. Turns out many of the new hires are sons/nephews/friends of active firefighters. And application process included no public access, like no online application process. So when this was fist reported, LAFD did do online application process, but it was available only for an hour or so. Again, you couldn't have known this unless you had insider connection.

And I heard through friend of friend with connections in LA City. There are Los Angeles Firefighters who collect Disability Pay ON TOP of regular pay after going through some major fire incident. They can claim trauma of the major fire is hardship enough so while they work regular hours and collect regular pay, they can also receive Disability pay.

2.
And then there's articles like this:

"Battling treacherous office chairs and aching backs, aging cops and firefighters miss years of work and collect twice the pay"

http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-drop-20180203-...

excerpt

When Capt. Tia Morris turned 50, after about three decades in the Los Angeles Police Department, she became eligible to retire with nearly 90% of her salary.

But like many cops and firefighters in her position, the decision to keep working was a financial no-brainer, thanks to a program that allowed her to nearly double her pay by keeping her salary while also collecting her pension.

A month after Morris entered the program, her husband, a detective, joined too. Their combined income for four years in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan was just shy of $2 million, city payroll records show.

But the city didn’t benefit much from the Morrises’ experience: They both filed claims for carpal tunnel syndrome and other cumulative ailments about halfway through the program. She spent nearly two years on disability and sick leave; he missed more than two years, according to a Times analysis of city payroll data.

We are all screwed, except for those on PUBLIC pensions.
can we stop telling other people what they should do?

these tech giants are worshiped for what they achieve and how they transform the world, not for their flaws. And yes, they are flawed... they are not "perfect" like the instagram role models you follow - and live vicariously thru.

and using bill gates as a good role model is just laughable to anyone who knows just a tiny bit about his work ethics as Microsoft CEO.
> How can retirement funds survive people working for thirty years and collecting benefits for forty?

One part of the answer is productivity. (https://data.oecd.org/lprdty/gdp-per-hour-worked.htm)

You need more production to fulfil the needs of the non-working elders. You can achieve that by increasing the number of workers (producers), or by increasing the amount produced by unit (productivity). But then the problem is how to distribute the result.

This was Stephen Hawkins position when he stated that we should be more frightened of capitalism than robots. https://www.cnet.com/news/stephen-hawking-says-we-should-be-...

In a very efficient and automated world distributing wealth is a bigger problem than creating it.
The first problem I want to address is that there's no real good place to put your own family history. History, like Wikipedia, but in a more private way, to share it with family and friends.

This makes me think about enabling adding permissions to pictures, text/documents, movies. Then thinking about it, the easy way to make it possible is to add groups in a similar fashion as in Whatsapp groups.

And if you think about it, people use Whatsapp in part because it's privacy oriented, you feel safe your pics won't just end up being public.
Enigma | ERP integration developer | Telford, UK | ONSITE

We are a rather reserved old world retailer/wholesaler/ecommerce with a national presence in our sector. As a multi-channel retailer we have dozens of last-mile type integrations to make our business work. Our stack is centred on our Oracle based ERP, and includes Python, Bash and SQL. We are recruiting for a relatively junior developer (in terms of salary I'm afraid) to come and learn about our ERP and to learn about integrations and most of all business systems. We are anything but modern as a company, but we work 37.5 hours and are pretty low pressure. We do however have high standards!

I think a civilization like ours might be hard to miss, but if they only hit e.g. stone age levels we could easily miss that.

Of course it depends on the time scale. An industrial civilization 250mya might leave little traces unless you knew exactly where to look and what to look for.

There is also the hidden assumption that they would build the same sorts of things as us for the same reasons, a form of anthropocentrism.
I think it's better to treat it as a proof of concept attack. It's more just to say: hey this type of thing is possible, maybe with better equipment and more research.
This clouds your judgment.

If Modi does something wrong, his supporters wouldn't see this wrong. They would defend it.

Recently, Modi told a story about making tea with gas from gutter. His story was pure lie. Every sensible person knew it.

But his supporters nevertheless defended him. This was pathetic.
It could be that some particular request header (maybe an unusual user-agent) causes the web server to fail to send a content-type, for some reason. But if the response was nevertheless marked cacheable, then Cloudflare may have cached it and served it to other users who didn't send the unusual header. This problem would seem to go away if you disabled Cloudflare caching, but would still technically be a problem with the web server, not Cloudflare...

When thinking about cost, don't forget to factor in developer time. As a rule of thumb, your time as a developer is worth $1 per minute.

(Disclosure: I'm the tech lead of Cloudflare Workers.)

>a modern Apple Macintosh computer ("MacBook")

I don’t get this. Does the author think Apple only makes laptops now? Don't the iMac and Mac Mini qualify as modern?
I disagree with that. First, Google's other businesses are growing very fast, much faster than its overall ad business: https://qz.com/1334369/alphabet-q2-2018-earnings-google-is-m... .

Second, and I think perhaps more fundamentally, Google is incredibly well diversified among ad channels, so I think lumping that all together and then drawing the conclusion "Google is at risk because they get all their money from ads" misses the mark. Google has AdWords, AdSense, DoubleClick, YouTube, Android, GMail, Google Assistant/Nest, etc. They may be dependent on ads but they control a staggering breadth of ad channels.

Ask HN: Has anyone experienced small electric sensations when using macbookpros?
I recently bought a new macbook pro (2014 15") and noticed that after switching from my old macbook pro(2012 13"), I could feel slight electrical sensations when resting my hands on the new model. Both outlets were tested and the electrical wiring in the building was correctly done. Both models were plugged into the wall via magsafe --> extension charger cable, which has the 3 prong grounding ability. I wonder if the apple manufacturing process has 'lemons' where the charge doesn't properly ground itself on certain laptops?

I really hate discussing this cause I feel I need to spend 5$ on a conspiracy tin foil hat lol. but strangely i DO feel more tingly/electric sensations on the new laptop after using it in the hands.

Flock | London | Onsite, Full Time https://www.flockcover.com/

We’re on a mission to build the insurance company of the future. We’re currently the world’s fastest growing drone insurance company. And we’re just getting started…

Our first product is a real-time risk analysis and insurance application for the drone industry. We launched a pay-as-you-fly drone insurance app: our policies are purchased in real-time, priced by the minute. Our platform uses real-time data (weather, building types, population densities within your drone flight radius) to quantify, price, and sell risk on the fly. We’ve grown: fast. 2 years old, currently a team of 13, and we have 25% of the UK market on our platform…

STACK

Our stack is a React Native application, sitting atop a set of NodeJS servers, rigorously typed with Flow, and Postgres databases. We apply rigorous Type safety constraints and data validations. We do not shy away from advanced technologies or unorthodox decisions, such as discarding snapshot tests for React testing, not using an ORM, rigidly enforcing type constraints, running a ReasonML service in production, and utilizing Postgres Check constraints, when they help us achieve our goals.

CULTURE

We practice continuous delivery; we can (and do) ship to production multiple times a day.
For everything you need to know about our Engineering Culture, take a look here: https://blog.flockcover.com/flocks-engineering-culture-b7123...

HIRING

Our tech hiring process is competitive, fast, fair, and transparent. You can find it (and apply) here: http://jobs.flockcover.com
