"Compared to students who reported sleeping eight hours at night, high school students who slept less than six hours were twice as likely to self-report using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana or other drugs, and driving after drinking alcohol. They were also nearly twice as likely to report carrying a weapon or being in a fight."

Have they established causation? Or could it be that lifestyle including alcohol and weapons also happens to involve less sleep?

I've missed the Sega Channel for so long. I recently bought an Xbox One and was pretty pleased to find a "Sega Channel"-like subscription service. I'm a lot happier paying $8/mo for a big library of games than paying $60 for one game that I might only play for a month or two anyway.

The fact that something is empirically knowable is not, unfortunately, a guarantee that it isn't politically contentious.

Artificial Intelligence: Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning
A friend of mine studying Java got these as introductory books. Imo, they try way, way too hard to be clever and it detracts from the content, which isn't that well presented, organized, or selected. Would stay away.

> $1 million by itself isn’t a big thing.

0-1 is a huge thing! Very humble presentation, great job. One of the very, very, very few medium posts that are worthwhile to read.

I find this very impressive with only 7 people because probably 5 of them are engineers and/or actually support the product. That leaves only 2 people for the marketing aspects, which are difficult.

It would be more enlightening if you would post cash flow data.

> 4) Freemium can put you on the wrong track.

Sure, but this is very highly product-specific. Freemium can also win you mind share and technical lock-in.
> I'm telling you why you don't see that research as official papers.

Which is a strange thing to claim since what you claim never happens, happens all the time with some of the largest media publishers in the world. Think of how many pages Google serves via AMP, or Yahoo's front page, or Google News, quite aside from their companies literally being based on advertising. If they are not media publishers who are doing experiments of the relevant sort, no one is and you are blatantly no-true-Scotsmanning.

There are large entities, better positioned than anyone else in the world to know, who run experiments constantly, and publish the results constantly.

So.

Where are they?

> they do not reveal their research because there's no time or incentive to reveal things like yield management, which is complex, audience specific, and contains competitive intel.

Congratulations, you have disproved the existence of hundreds or thousands of papers and blog posts. I must be hallucinating them all.

> That's why it can't be officially found, but you can get details if you talk to their dev teams.

Really? Then why, when I talk to them, I never hear any specifics, I always get told either they don't know or no one's checked, and only once in a blue moon do I hear something relevant (always without details)? Since you apparently talk to so many dev teams and they tell you all about the effects of ads on user retention and total traffic from the many experiments they run but never ever publish on, perhaps you could summarize them and provide the details for the rest of us.

Yeah, exokernels tend to do VM management in a more split way than you might see in other OSs that might be obfuscating the underlying concepts. I'd take a look at how xv6 does it, as that's about as simple as it gets.
These are all problems you have created by over-dependance on a single point of failure.

It's honestly kind of lazy not to take precautions, particularly when it's that easy - you've already listed out exactly what I'd suggest, and it's how people muddled along for decades in the before-times, more or less successfully.

I would suggest learning how to read maps. It's really easy, especially in urban areas. Find the nearest intersection, and look where it is on the map. There you are.

That's different than the linked page but I think it gets across the changes that are coming.

IIRC, there's a limit that the whole path passed to system calls has to fit into a single page. For most architectures, that's 4096 bytes including the terminating nul character. (This limit arises because the kernel has to copy the passed path to kernel space before doing any work on it, and allocating more than a single page is costlier.)

> All an address really does is act as a set of instructions for a postal worker.

I think you are unfamiliar with Japanese addressing. While it has been changing since 1962 the older style was basically instructionless. It was just a unique identifier for some place within the town. Maybe it'd have a number that corresponded to the plot of land being registered with the land registry, which in no way resembles a street number.

About the only thing you can say about addresses internationally is that they are pointers to a location. The definition of "location" varies wildly in specificity and there is no guarantee of instructions or relative location metadata.
I can't seem to find too many sources that speak to the raw percentage, but it appears that many to most refugees from syria (to take one example) have a cellphone and take great lengths to keep it safe & charged.
It's the rule rather than the exception with border guards these days, both US and Canadian. It's a job where bullies get to bully. It attracts a certain kind of person.
Honestly, under ideal conditions probably a while. Outside of that not long would be my guess.
Galileo maybe isn't the best example, since his reputation seems to (as I understand it) be massively overblown in an enduring myth.

But I think the question you're asking is: am I critical of him because it's fashionable today to push feminism with blinkers on? And would I still do so in 50 years, if today he sparked a mens' rights revolution?

Let's not assign this guy mythical status preemptively. There have always been loud points of view; some of them haven't held up with time, others have. We usually forget the ones that haven't, unless they managed to really hurt people along the way. To put it another way, just because you take a loud contrary position on a political or social issue, doesn't mean you're right.

I actually do applaud him for standing up for something, but my admiration only goes that far. You can present your point of view while trying to minimize the collateral damage. You can also be aware of your own fallibility.

If Galileo burst into Catholic prayer to proclaim the church was wrong and he was right, yeah, I'd call him a bit of a dick. What does he hope to achieve, by choosing the forum that is most disrespectful of others?
Yeah seems obvious that kids from rough homes don’t get enough sleep.
It could also be an indication of the lack of parental involvement in their lives.
It's priceless as to walk into a library to see the kid you are competing with for scholarships being tutored by your math teacher after school and being told everyone has an equal shot. It's also priceless to walk into a gym as an adult that you couldn't afford as a kid to see high school athletes getting private coaching (that you still can't really afford).

Maybe there is something to be said for learning things on your own, but some mistakes cost way, way more than the lesson they provide.

Then there is the question of whether it's all pointless anyway at any sort of high level of competition in case IQ really is almost fully genetic and you can't run if you aren't from Ethiopia.

"Compared to students who reported sleeping eight hours at night, high school students who slept less than six hours were twice as likely to self-report using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana or other drugs, and driving after drinking alcohol. They were also nearly twice as likely to report carrying a weapon or being in a fight. Researchers found the strongest associations were related to mood and self- harm. Those who slept less than six hours were more than three times as likely to consider or attempt suicide, and four times as likely to attempt suicide, resulting in treatment. Only 30 percent of the students in the study reported averaging more than eight hours of sleep on school nights."

Seems like a lot of data mining to create correlations (hence the use of the word "association" a lot). This kind of work can be good for problem finding and hypothesis generation. It's unfortunate that we live in a world where:

- news outlets publish research that is meant to stimulate discussion + hypothesis exploration

- readers are unable, undereducated, and / or disempowered to discern the level of rigorous science examination done

EDIT: The funny thing is that I predict that this HN thread will lead hundreds of folks to tell stories of confirmation bias.
…which don't have a light? I don't see what your point is.
It’s grim. For some reason this reminds me of the current Supreme Court hearings, where Ford was referred to as ‘attractive’, as though that had some kind of relevance. It’s right the way though the US system it seems and it appears from this new law that NZ is headed that way too.

I'd say the same for a President. What a world we live in!
As some one who played around with inform and would recommend it to authors looking for new ways to express their creativity, I am glad it looks like it is getting a significant tooling upgrade. Especially important is that this lowers the barrier of entry for new micro-payment strategies (like apps and websites).

It's also really cool because it looks like someone could hook this thing up to ray tracer or modern game engine and render dynamic myst style scenes with it (but with NPCs and significantly more detail in manipulation).

I'll give you the flip side of the scammer's deterioration of trust in the phone... a few months back I got a phone call from what appeared to be my bank, and they were asking me about a fraudulent charge that I didn't recognize. Worried that this was the beginning of a scam, I delayed a bit on the phone while I logged in independently to my bank account... and lo, yes, indeed, there was a fraudulent charge to my account just as they described. It really was my bank calling me about fraudulent charges. But I was definitely close to hanging up on them, assuming it was a scam. It stinks on both sides.

I'm sorry I'm just not seeing the value in it. I'm just seeing more complexity JS and CSS wise without solving any problems.
I don’t think that we have the same definition of freaky.

As far as Boltzmann brains go then a classical Boltzmann brain can actually be disproven even without going into the debate if there is even unbounded amount of randomness in the universe.

As for quantum Boltzmann brains then it’s not again freaky and it heavily is dependent on how you take on physicality.

If you think that the brain is a quantum system then a Boltzmann brain can never be a duplicate of you due to the no cloning theorem.

If the brain is not a QM system but a classical one which is more likely to be the case then classical Boltzmann brains aren’t really possible in our universe.

Overall this is again a philosophical niche not really physics it’s a fun anecdote to ponder not something you should take on seriously.

Now if you want to take evolution as a random activity despite it not being random then we are all Boltzmann brains but again as a whole a Boltzmann brain does not provide any insight into fundamental natural law or useful heuristics for emerging properties so it’s not as much freaky as well pointless.

That’s a really good question. You know how we always said there’s hope that Apple won’t ditch the Mac since they themselves couldn’t stand to use Windows or Linux for their workstations...

I have no knowledge of their internal setup, but I suspect they have a big room full of racked ESX servers (non-Apple hardware) running builds on macOS VMs. And probably a ton of networked iPhone motherboards running automated tests.

I just wish they would make that kind of setup (macOS VMs on non-Apple hardware) legal for other developers.
Hi all,

I run a news letter with AWS SES and the complaint rate is reaching 0.05%. They expect 0.1% complaint rate.

I have received zero complaints email from SES in last 1 months but this rate isn't going down. ALl of my email required double opt-in and ubsubscribe link.

I have no idea why this complaints rate isn'g going down and worry I may get suspend. I only send around 15K email per month.

AWS support is no helpful because the tech support isn't free and around few hundres dollars a month :(.

Any one has experience with using SES and dealing with complaints rate?
