The "Why we sleep" book is just full of facts about the difference between a good nights sleep and a lack of sleep. There are so many things that fall apart when a few hours are taken off and nobody can be conscious of it, even though they are very very measurable. He also discusses thing like how two groups of people get a night of good sleep, they learn something and get 3 days of quality sleep. Then one of the groups has their sleep limited by several (3/4?) hours. The following day they get full nights rest, and the next day they are tested on what they learned earlier in the week and there were significant deficits for the group that had that one night of bad sleep in the middle of the week.

After reading about it, I've learned a lot more about sleep, but the greatest effect is that I really appreciate sleep more, make lots of time to optimize length and quality. Knowing all the info in the book it would be difficult to justify using an alarm clock to force yourself to rise before your body is ready.

Really cool book.
I used an ergodox for a while, but I was chafing my thumbs on it. I seem to do better with low profile keys. Currently I use the TypeMatrix for 6 years now (and have 3 of them).

The key tactility isn't where I want with the TypeMatrix, but the low profile (as well as good labeling for non a-z keys) design seems to be most comfortable.
I don't understand this reasoning.

People use this same logic when others suggest eating healthy and exercising.

"And if someone works three jobs and has ten kids? Hmmmm? Then what?? Gotcha!"

Begins to reek of someone using the condition of others to rationalize why they themselves can't be bothered to do something. Not to mention the fact that you're more privileged in a car than on a bicycle.

Cycling really does attract the same nonsensical aggressive reactions as eating healthy and exercising.

Whilst true that under Theresa May the UK government is rather keen on controlling the internet, as the EU is demonstrating there's no real difference in terms of their desire for power. The relative disinterest by the EU in surveillance is more because they associate fighting terrorism = fighting Muslims = fighting immigrants = borders = bad. Quoting Juncker again,

"Borders are the worst invention ever made by politicians."

Doesn't really get clearer than that.

The UK government is unfortunately keen on surveillance partly because people are keen on it, and it is ultimately a democracy. Opinion polls pretty consistently show that terrorism is one of the top two concerns citizens have, across the whole of Europe. The EU ignores these concerns completely; this may seem superficially beneficially democratic but as the cookie law, GDPR, copyright, hate speech, link tax laws etc show, this is not due to lack of desire for control over the internet.
Extremely simplified this sounds like a typical Median vs Arithmetic Mean issue to me.
I have yet to meet someone who likes humidity, which is what really matters in my opinion. I would also assume most people like sunny weather, so anywhere with low humidity, sunshine, and mild invariable weather is probably high up on most people's list, that I've met at least.

Maybe these are mostly too new, or you have different (more practical, hands on?) definition of tech-talk - but from a quick look the only speakers I expected - and found - were Sandi Mets and Rob Pike.

Apple will actually require all developers to have a privacy policy by October 3rd.

http://fortune.com/2018/09/01/apple-app-store-privacy-policy...

And having developers post a bond is logistically impossible to implement. Far better just to have Apple kick them off the store entirely. Which is what they do already.
Important questions:

1. Do they share this data with people?

2. Is this data anonymized?

3. Is this data directly monetized, or otherwise give incentives to violate user privacy?
The Medicaid enrollment numbers are a bigger reflection of how little people are being compensated: in states that adopted Medicaid expansion under the ACA, only those making a certain percentage of the federal poverty level are eligible for the program.

In states that adopted Medicaid expansion, that usually means 100% to roughly 138% of the FPL. The FPL for a single individual in the 48 contiguous states + DC is $12,140.

Workers whose income is above the FPL cannot default to Medicaid, even if they cannot afford to buy insurance.
I am not defending IHS, if you say it's doing a poor job then it likely is.

However, other factors are still important. EX: "At 43%, adult obesity rates in Oglala Lakota County were 17 percentage points higher than rates of adult obesity nationally and 13 points higher than statewide rates."

Further, you can find several other counties with rather similar life expectancy results that don't have IHS. So, simply pointing at IHS is not the complete story.

Oh yeah. EV bikes are awesome. Far more space efficient than cars (although less than buses), and producing very little extra road wear compared to regular bikes.

I think there’s a quiet bike revolution going on right now, EV bikes went from exotic and home made to common practically overnight. I’m excited to see how this will change our society.

I've found the ergodox to be the 'ultimate hacking' keyboard. Although, pretty much anything that flashes QMK will be sufficient.
I did the same and now I'm feeling the same way.

Currently I'm running with an MS Lumia 950 and when necessary, I'll switch back to Android. I've completely removed all my social media apps on both phones.

The most recent reason I needed to switch back to my OnePlus 2 was because my hockey manager now uses Venmo to accept payment for the upcoming season. I was pissed when I found out Venmo won't allow you to process payments from your desktop account anymore. You are forced to download and install the Android app, and then send money that way.

It just feels so invasive. I felt like they were saying, "We can't get the data we want on your PC, so we'll force you to download and install the app, and in the process, give us the permissions we want to get to your data.
Why aren’t companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook not setting aside a few million dollars a year to support efforts like this and the Firefox phone?

Heck, even the carriers would be so much better off if they spent some money on similar projects. They don’t need to spend too much, and if one of them takes off, especially if it’s open source, then it helps reduce the tremendous risks they face since the mobile OS market is currently completely owned by 2 of their competitors.
> I find your second statement a little bizarre.

Every once in a while, the Bay Area picks a new phrase that it enters into the public lexicon. "Pet owner" was said to invoke slavery, so "pet guardian" was the new thing you had to say, otherwise face consequence.
> There is 0 value given to the experience of visiting a natural space or to forests which take thousands of years to grow which quite literally could not be reconstructed for any amount of money (for example) ... we need something more at a philosophical level from economics than we are getting.

This is a different kind of problem than you think. It's not that we don't value it, it's that the value is diffuse. Every person in the area values the forest an average of $100, there are a million people in the area, therefore the value of the forest "should" be a hundred million dollars.

The problem is that the government has to fill a budget hole and there is a logging company that would pay ten million dollars to log the forest. The government could also get the same money by reducing the defense budget, or replacing some government employees with less expensive contractors, or replacing corporate income tax with VAT so international corporations have to pay their taxes, but all of those groups have better lobbyists than the public at large. So the public (and the forest) loses.

But the problem wasn't that we couldn't calculate the value, it was that knowingly destroying ninety million dollars in value in order to have ten million somewhere else is a thing that happens when you have a collective action problem like that, because the value destroyed is spread across a million people and none of them have enough incentive or power as an individual to stand up and stop it.

So the problem isn't the valuation, it's how do we solve the collective action problem?
In my opinion, a year is not a lot of time for any complex integration with a service. Compare that to AWS which still support effectively-retired products indefinitely.
I see. That make sense. I had thought we just used it to refer to genome sections related to 'macro traits' (not sure of a better term) we're interested in.
I think saying they don't do anything for commuting is a bit extreme. Not all bike commuters are also serious cyclists. For many commuters, a mix use trail is far better than a road.

I used to live off of a mix use trail and could ride my bike on it to work. I now have to ride on the street, and given the choice I'd take the trail any day.

A few thoughts.

1. You'll probably need a lawyer with the proper background to do this successfully.

2. Did you Google anything or do any sort of independent research before asking this?
http://www.google.com/search?How+to+ico+startup

3. ...create a fancy lander with a lofty stated mission, draft out a whitepaper with a few nice graphics inserted to demonstrate to the public how your loft mission will be built out

...a startup taking money from the public in the form of a currency which cannot be used to purchase anything.

Read this aloud to yourself and tell me how this doesn't qualify as a scam.

4. Have you tried coming up with a traditionally viable product idea or business plan or are you just looking for a get rich quick scheme? How much of your own blood and sweat have you put into your ideas? Or are you just looking to have engineers paid by others' money do all the work for you?

Of course not, but for bigger brands and popular models repair shops can actually keep official parts in-store, something that Apple don't allow (even for apple stores).

I am not saying that andoid is all roses, but many devices are still realpairable even though things are going in the wrong direction.

When an iPhones warranty is up, apple has been trying their hardest to make fixing your device impossible.

Nice! I like these small self-contained Go projects with their own web server (thinking about adding a Tor front and changing go-sqlite3 to an encrypted version for easy, safe at-home use). Easy, self-hosted websites is how the true decentralized web will come about (at least while we wait for the tech to share resources catches up).

If I could make one request, refactor the code a bit so that I could import it as a lib and use it on my own configured Go HTTP server. All that code in the main package is not very reusable if, say, I wanted to serve this as a net/http.Handler in a separate path.
It's more like, early on we found some traits like "blood type" that really did correspond closely to a small number of genes. So we theorized they all worked like that. Now, we know that however height works, it doesn't work like blue eyes do.
In which case, GDP in the US isn't overstated because of the costs of caring for the sick. That's a bit awkward for your point of view, since the US has the largest economy in the world, and the highest per capita income of any large country[0]. Where does the GDP is overstated line apply?

Man, this page is a really poor introduction to the material. The FAQ page doesn't load for me, and I had to squint at the tiny left sidebar to figure out that it's a traditional RPG game, but there's no context as to why this is important or noteworthy compared to the dozens or hundreds of those that were published in the 80s.

50k is 50,000. Which is a lot of talks, but certainly not all of them.

The 50k is just the number my hacky talk finder script found.

Yeah, loneliness is my personal struggle. I've made steps recently to combat it, I just need to be more aggressive about it.

That's not the spirit of the 4HWW. The idea is to make a product that requires not much improvement, and people just buy it from your website, so essentially your 4 hours are spent doing accounting and basic customer support. You might have a part time guy to do server maintenance but that's about it. So essentially most of your revenue is profit for yourself, and you can run a "small" business with revenue in the 50-100K range.

If you start hiring full time workers, then your business has to scale a lot. Like revenue has to go to 500-1M range so you have enough to pay full time workers as well as money for yourself. That's just a completely different beast.

Pivotal Tracker. It's opinionated, but because it can rely on those assumptions, it strikes this incredible balance between information density, on-the-ground usability, and the ability to have a birds-eye-view of the risks of a software project. A diligently updated Pivotal project is a thing of beauty and confidence and inspiration. One size does not fit all (and certainly, if you want to give your team the opportunity to work on more difficult-to-spec, research-oriented, or experimentation-dependent projects, it's far from ideal), but for typical web applications, it's industry-defining.

Worst-designed software: Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions - https://www.google.com/search?q=peoplesoft+campus+solutions&... . A case study in "how many workflows can we fit into one infinitely customizable software product without hiring a UX or UI designer to give any thought to a single one of them? Oh, and how can we make it as non-performant as possible to do the most common tasks?" I understand the siren call of "an interface that works for every workflow imaginable" - but unless you build design-customization tools on top of it, it will be a hated monstrosity.

Fun story: my undergraduate college used this, and I got a highly competitive internship after an interview where I spent the majority of the time ripping apart exactly how bad this software was, and how I would fix various aspects. I imagine no person motivated enough to solve those problems has any desire to work for Oracle, so the problem will persist for at least another century.
