I agree with the title but highly disagree with much of this article.

Speed reading does work well, but you have to deliberately practice comprehension. I've read well over a million words in the last month. Fiction and history books are especially wordy, but are worth reading fast. Ever read Stephen King? He's got some excellent ideas, but you have to just slog through the descriptions. I'm grateful I can speed read as it makes the book more like a story that flows.

But in general, the really good books are very hard to read, because the ideas are hard to grasp. Going for X books a year means you end up selecting "easy" (and thus, less impactful) books.
That clearly hasn't worked policing other content on the web, like piracy sites.
What exactly is new about this? CBT+sleep efficiency is pretty much the standard advice for insomnia (after having tried reducing blue light, regular schedule etc)
MDs are NOT scientists by any criteria you could reasonably formulate. The actual and unique use of research for 99.99% of MDs is academic advancement, which in the medical field also goes with lots of money (patents, scientific board membership, etc.). Hence the rise of "piggyback research", i.e. putting your name everywhere you possibly can or if you really want to put some effort in it, doing meta analyses on topics you don't know anything of in practice.

Medical "research" is a shame to our society.
I've flagged this comment. Creating a throwaawy just to mock somebody is not appropriate.
I personally do the last one (hn@mydomain.com with catchall). It works really well. I used to use gmail as my main address and all the emails from my own domain used to go through Mailgun with a catchall route for incoming mail (I also used it to send automated messages for my various projects from the same domain).

I now use Protonmail and on the 2nd paid tier you can have a catchall address.

The only downside of this approach is that if you ever want to reply or send mail from one of those alias addresses, it's a bit tricky. So if that's important for you, maybe try a different option, perhaps with the + method.
Placing the burden of time and attention onto the one-time victim to ensure that chronic bad actors don't continue is not the solution that you are looking for.
ubuntu phone might be the one
If a system setting is changed (in this case, power-saving mode = on) _without_ associated user trigger (UI action), then the system should issue a push notification and prompt for confirmation. That's the right thing to do - for all apps no matter who made them.
American living in Switzerland. From what I understand, access to public transportation seems to be considered a basic human right here. No one is expected to have to buy and upkeep car maintenance.

While the electrification of the mass transit systems is super nice, unfortunately it came about because of the World Wars. Switzerland was hit really hard, and no one wanted to trade their precious coal away (Switzerland had no coal mines). Thus out of sheer necessity they began electrifying all the trains. So unfortunately there's not replicable policies other countries can use to achieve what Switzerland has achieved in terms of electrification, so it'd take some creativity.
So because of management's lack of imagination (or caring) a solution was chosen unilaterally for the convenience of the party in power and for the inconvenience if the masses to protect them sheeps from themselves.

The argument against this is that a civilization that colonises more than two planets(which a K2 civ could do) has astronomically low chances of getting wiped out, so any that get there first should probably still exist. Which means the time gulf isn't really the problem.
I can't see it either. If I had to, I'd get an used 16 GiB iPhone 6S, change the battery for $29 while it's still cheap and then flash chip-swap to 256 GiB via the usual sources. Headphone connector and undocumented water-resistance if you replace the gasket (6 for $5 on eBay). If you look at the iPhone 6S carefully, you can see it was a pilot project for water-resistance because of all the gaskets around ports and the screen. I wouldn't take a good phone into a shower or pool, but it would be fun to see with an used cheapo phone to see how water-resistant.

Roach coaches are also mostly ethnic food (and, at least in my experience, that ethnicity is Mexican), and aren't decorated.

I get it for things of scale... but the everyday stuff ? Maybe i'm still old !
Used this site 5 years ago, switched to Dvorak over a weekend. My typing speed slowed initially below my QWERTY speed of 110 wpm, but last time I tested myself I was pull in a respectable 190 wpm.

Dvorak is more enjoyable for me to type on.
Interesting! I must be living in a bubble. Among my friends it's on level with Steam. Standard thing to start up at parties and social gatherings and been so for many years.
Please consider generating a log file and create a bug report for them to look at:

https://jira.lineageos.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa

They do look at them. But I would suggest taking a quick glance at those logs and see if you notice anything familiar. It may be something you recognize.
Agreed, and thanks for mentioning it. This type of comment gives everyone a bad name.
> There are many reasons why you would want to use Docker but for me the biggest one is that the entire configuration, installation, and deployment is all self-contained in that docker-compose file.

Until you write your first blog post or get a single comment. Then you need backups like everyone else who runs their own shit.
That would be a dive, not flying. Humans can reach great speeds while falling too! :)
There were two whole qualifiers in my statement, half of which you ignored. Self-promotion is obviously okay. However self-promotion of bland, boring posts that regurgitate nearly useless information which has been posted hundreds of times... Edit: Oh, I see that you have a long history of twisting the words of others and personally attacking those you disagree with, so we're done here. You have a nice evening.
The only information your post conveys is that you know nothing about medical research, but you have strongly held conspiracy views about it.
Off topic, but Google is getting killed this last week. I was pretty ticked at them ignoring Senator Warner’s request the other day and I think the hearings are usually a public circus. Google is just the most powerful lobbyist in Washington. They face no repercussions for anything.

In 2016, Trump (probably his admin he didn’t know anything) wanted to appoint the most badass anti monopoly czar in America. Probably the most momentous position in recent memory in terms of the future of society. Sounds like I’m exaggerating, but free speech, monopoly, hate speech, income inequality, spying, tracking everything, face recognition, Orwellian themes, and potential usurpation of nation states in favor of data harvesting multinationals was on the line. Google used all their lobbying capital to shut it down. Threatened to nuke every bipartisan bill and every conservative judicial appointment with the congressmen in their pockets. The WSJ had a great expose about this.

In the end the one man who scared the hell out of even Google and was poised to take down uber monopolies like att&t, Disney etc. was passed over for a pushover.
You don't even need to uninstall it. The permission to modify system settings etc can be set to not allowed in the Google Play Services app info page. So it isn't even surprising that the service can do what it did.
How is Google going to profit from that ?
Or maybe you believe that Google not is not solely driven by profit?
Or use Caddy https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https
I posted the other day about my desire to see more programmers strive towards demo scene type work in their creative endeavours. Seeing this makes me think about my own completely inadequate portfolio. Writing blog posts, pointing to half finished proof of concept repositories, etc, seems great, but... What if I concentrated on writing things that normal people could see and be interested in without falling asleep?
I'm sorry, I really don't get it. What do you need Docker for? Let's Encrypt and Nginx give you practically full cert automation. Maybe there's some crucial bit of information I'm missing here?

You don't need to place the polariser right next to the sun; you can use a smaller disc to modulate it's output in one direction.

Like the way the earth is large enough to block the sun on the entire moon during a lunar eclipse.
I think that headline is an outright lie. It's not as big as is stated in the article itself, and it has basically no impact on most people's lives, because it was expected by almost everybody.

They have hype in common, that's all.
Exactly usually to use these services you basically wabe away any and all rights.
They have the same name. Now, when you do a web search for the valuable one that's been around for a long time, you instead get the new videogame thing. They chose to stomp on this name rather than respect an existing thing, and this attitude says something about their company.
It won't happen, IMHO. That's because we have a whole pile of.. technologies, that are making good security nearly impossible. So if they want to avoid half of android users getting owned at the same time, they need to be able to push live updates.

Bugs are part of it too (smaller I think), everything is moving fast enough that early reporting mostly took place of extensive testing.
It is designed to be easily repaired by yourself and there is an official LineageOS build for it.
If you made a police report, make sure to amend it with any damages as well as towing fees suffered in case they catch the perpetrator. This will give you a basis for remediation.
While I don't appreciate the form and agree there is no place for it on HN, there is some merit in that that comment.
Mapping is a noble application. There’s probably more money to be made in the 24/7 monitoring of private citizens, including in their own homes.
Phone developers need to have a lot of money in order to get the permission from major services to write an app to connect to those services.

That was the story of the Ubuntu Phone.
Many of our field's greatest contributions to date are due to the perpetual nagging of pedantic zealots who condemn the laxness of other mathematicians accepting aesthetic brevity as a permissible excuse for unspecified leaps in reasoning.

The history of logic is a completely uninterrupted episode of crisis in replication, where the creative genius of intuition is targeted for termination as we insist upon rigorous definitions and disciplined mechanistic proof as the official workhorses while only regarding the art of surreal hypothesis divination and strongarmed notational analogies as just temporarily embarrassing stopgaps until we can tease out the procedure for automating the prodigies while managing the resultant verbosity of minutely incremental 'drudgery' through the factorization of symmetry/redundancy and begin the descent into madness of hierarchies of meta proof and possibilities of hypercomputation.

Maybe this is out of envy against the more naturally gifted such as Ramanujan, or rather out of desire to retire to the beach someday without neglecting one's responsibility in the search for ultimate knowledge, but more likely just the practicality of desiring an objective reality check when the deepest dives into the abyss of specialization and abstraction render oneself completely lonely and isolated from the checks and balances of haphazard social consensus in peer review or even the _physical_ universe's fairly arbitrary and low-precision demands in constraining and verifying empirical modeling/prediction that more casual disciplines such as sociology or physics typically set as the highest caliber of evidence.

This is more like an App (or a JavaScript website on safari) has gone havoc and is draining a lot of power. Look for statistics in power setting to identify a potential culprit. If nothing suspicious an it keep doing after a reboot contact apple support, they have a recall program rolling for some models.
Yeah but you can make all the PSAs and laws you like and some people will still drink and drive.

That's not a concern with a robot car.

Example : this company had part of their site built by some abstruse static site generator with a million dependencies written in a language that no one at the company had installed by default, nor knew (I think it was Ruby). We put it all in Docker, and the README changed from 10 lines of install x, y, z version foo to /random, to just “run docker build, then docker run.” Most of the people working on those docs didn’t need to know about ruby or gems or lock files or any of that.

A year later I overheard someone say thank god that thing was dockerized because I was absolutely not looking forward to installing all those dependencies just for a typo fix.

That’s one of the areas where docker shines: app delivery.
Why did you keep looking at it then? If you can't manage yourself why should anyone pander to you?

That's only if you believe that discrimination (selection bias) is the same as discrimination (categorizing). There's no apparent failure of logic until you start confusing them (eg "starting to realize"). If some people are starting to believe that the definitions are synonymous, they are wrong and will have to deal with the issues that naturally occur when you confuse ideals with reality. Generally some population group suffers for another population group to be supplicated in an arbitrary way.
To clarify, I meant “easily” in terms of fewer legal barriers. Political barriers is indeed a whole other issue.
US Rescinds Policy Limiting Destructive Cyber Weapon Use
The standard among some of my friends was to use LogMeIn Hamachi to play LAN multiplayer games over the net. Never tried it myself though.
Having rolled out IPv6 only networks experimentally at conferences I was struck by how well it worked. By the end of the conference 1/2 the delegates used the IPv6 network (ie was a separate SSID). There was not one complaint. (I had the pleasure of a few network engineers tell me their phones, tablets and PC or whatever would never work on IPv6 network, only to later discover later they were already on it.)

In particular NAT works both ways, meaning IPv6 only devices have zero issues accessing the IPv4 world via NAT. When used in that way you get the best of both worlds - a world route-able IPv6 address and perfectly backward compatibility.

In the mean time I've rolled our a dual IPv4, IPv6 network that spans the country for my company. Almost zero issues (I had routing bugs). I was blown away to discover that any device that was smart enough to get itself a IPv6 address was smart enough to just work in the mixed environment. And this is in an environment running from XP machines to the latest Android and iPhones.

So we appear to be reached the stage where there are no reasons not to use IPv6. Of course they is also very little reason to move to IPv6 if you have an existing stable IPv4 network. Our networks aren't stable of course, and we are continually adding new connections. We (or rather I) demand a routeable IP address for each of them - life is just too hard otherwise. We are in the APNIC allocation pool that run out of IPv4 addresses ages ago. Right now the ISP's aren't handing out IPv6 addresses. If that ever changes to "you have to pay for an IPv4 address, or you can have a IPv6 address for free", I know which way I will be jumping. It's a no-brainer.
Thanks for your reply! Although I (think) I usually go about programming by starting small, and then adding features as they are needed. It never occurred to me, for some reason, I could do the same in this case. By reading the other replies I think a combination of starting small and using a couple of "how to"-links and books as a reference will be my best bet.
Specs take a long time to arrive. There's a lot of toing and froing, discussions and revisions. Many take years, some take decades.

Netscape, Google, Microsoft and Apple have all been guilty of losing patience and ploughing ahead by adding features to their browsers that aren't fully standards-backed at one point or another, but it's usually the decisions of the market leader that have the biggest impact. Lots of people develop for Chrome and assume it'll work elsewhere as a result, or worse they don't care.
There's always things like the Alcubierre drive that circumvent the speed of light. Thousands of years isn't necessarily what is needed. It's just that they have to find out that there's someone here, which will need light from us to get there, and that might take thousands of years. Billions, probably.
Respirocytes: a Mechanical Artificial Red Cell
There is no reason to think quantum entanglement could be used for FTL communication. The theory which gives us entanglement also proves (mathematically) it can't be used for communication.
Couldn't agree more. We live in the time where we can turn any book in the world (roughly speaking) at word by word and set your speed you like. You can turn any book into a movie narrative this way and even be able to skin for the sake of it.
Russian spies detained in The Hague were planning cyber break-in at Swiss lab
I expected the throughput of the gzip process to be a lot higher, to be honest. Bot the random data and the stream of zeros took a noticeable time to compress.

In a video game or real-time mpeg stream decoding job, the video card has to generate this amount of data 30-60 times per seconds. So 0.4-1.6 seconds to compress the result seems long in comparison.

I tested the 2 extreme situations I could think of: ultimate random and ultimate order. Images will fall somewhere between these 2 limits, so on my PC, the PNG compression has a lower bound of 0.4-1.6 seconds to write an image with the current algorithm.
what you are saying could also be: other civilizations would do the same as we do. send small unmanned drones into space, and not just signals. they are much slower, but allow much more information and better reaction time, if the onboard logic does that. and they are not mistaken for something else, as in this case.
godwin point reached !
I apologize but I'm really having trouble understanding what the problem you are referring too. In python syntax that would be written as -

if ConditionA:
attr = "foo"
else:
attr = "bar"

if ConditionB:
obj = A()
else:
obj = B()

if hasattr(attr, obj):
do_magic()

I haven't tested Bowler yet but I would think something that refactors code would handle that pretty easily?
Funny, I think that about your opinion. Which is what both of our statements are, except that I actually admit it while you and others assert it as fact.
The concept and execution seems cool but I just wanna note in case anyone important is listening that "can you play them all" is one of the weakest taglines I've ever heard.
And yet the existence of this exploit, which would have been prevented with HTTPS as I understand, counterproves your point. There's a reason security engineers advocate for defense in depth; even if one system fails you have a higher likelihood of preventing any issue or perhaps at least mitigating the scope/severity because other systems are still there. Self-signed HTTPS certs seems about as safe & secure as self-signed PGP packages so how can having both in any way reduce the overall security.
For equal amount of animations Flash is smoother than most HTML5 crap.

HTML5 can not even streaming vector animations.
That is literally the job of a traditional educator.
They didn't say it was hard, they said "involved process", which I agree with.
> Flash has never been this smooth.

Yes it has. You could even create your own shaders/filters with a specialized language. Frankly it's great that things like that can be done with js/html but people did way more impressive things 15 years ago.

I'm really not impressed at all, personally.
>Sure, the people coming in can probably afford it, but it causes so many housing problems for everyone else.

This is the big issue here. Current residents are getting pushed out by the rising prices that these new people will have to accept for lack of other good options. It fucks over everyone other than real estate owners. This effect happens in all cities across the globe, it's just much much stronger in Cali.
Can’t recommend that book enough! The third edition is out, IIRC
I'm a broken record at this point, but I'll say it again until I'm convinced I'm wrong -- FirefoxOS did great but was tragically mishandled. I'm 100% a FFOS stan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(person)#%22Stan%22_fans) but it absolutely could have (and did) work -- they just fumbled the execution and 0 executives took responsibility (as per usual).

While I appreciate Mozilla's recent exploits like the IoT Gateway (https://iot.mozilla.org/gateway/), they should have put all their non-thunderbird non-firefox effort into FirefoxOS, it was a strategic bet.
Do you have any (quick, readily accessible) references on this?

Thanks.
What is then ?
Great point, I think the response would be very different. It's pretty clear that Google owns android phones with play store and can do as they please with them, you can install new apps using their website ffs, or erase all data on the phone using android/find.
IBM and Google did develop the systems you mentioned. Apple on the other hand is the odd one out here as they did not develop Siri:

There's something called the Beckenstein bound[0] which is the higher bound on information density in a volume of space. That's probably the limit on complexity in life.

That said, we're several orders of magnitude away from that, and even we have a theoretical way of FTL travel[1].

I think many of these authors should be featured or retraction watch:

https://retractionwatch.com/2018/09/12/when-it-comes-to-auth...

I have chosen to have a paper pulled when I was added as an author without my knowledge. (They had used some of my unpublished work.) These journals should do the same, establishing a minimum threshold of active contribution.
