I understand that menthol cigarettes are more attractive because they make smoking more pleasant. I also understand they can be more dangerous, because part of being more pleasant is inhaling being more comfortable[0], so one might take bigger drags and/or hold them longer.

As someone trying to quit (menthols particularly), I can see this move helping some (and I also see it incredibly frustrating for anyone not looking to quit, though they should be!). Part of my difficulty in quitting is how widely available smokes are - in my day to day life, they're only ever 5 minutes away, and that ease of access is a huge barrier in staying smoke-free. I've tried the non-menthols in my brand and I can't stand them. Banning menthols solves the availability problem (for me), and while I disagree with it ideologically, it's hard to argue with it practicality.

So I'm guessing that in order to use modules from npm you use WebPack?

And what's available is the same as a Service Worker in Chrome. So you can use http fetch but there is no raw socket etc. Does it support WebRTC (not sure if there is a way to actually use that on the server but maybe there is some weird use case for communicating between Workers).

Also wondering what options there are for files or databases etc.

It sounds like the design is for them to handle individual requests, but just out of curiousity, how long can the workers keep running?
What would even be the legal basis for such a court order?
He didn't really discuss what kind of medication.

My interpretation is he feels medication is pushed too much and rarely solves the problem. He mentioned how people wanted to taper off and eventually stop taking prescription medication. He didn't like how he isn't allowed to help with that area.

Also he voiced how the cost difference for someone staying in the hospital as an impatient is very high compared to seeing him. Insurance will try to prevent patients from seeing him 3 days per week and only want once a week (even if 3 days is helpful). Insurance companies have every detail about a patient and demand it without respecting privacy.

Read Tsay's Financial Time Series Analysis for a better idea how to forecast financial data.

The biggest problem you will face is stationarity: the statistical properties of the data is not constant over time. For example, the mean and std dev is not constant over time. Using returns instead of raw prices helps to make better financial forecasts.

Two methods to explore:

1. You are better off predicting stock prices by predicting future returns and then forecasting is the current price plus predicted future return.

2. You could use your neural model to predict absolute size of returns using realized volatility.

Pierre Berton - The Mysterious North

I really enjoyed this historical novel. The guy had a way of telling the story that really pulled me in. I picked up the book at a book store in Edmonton years ago and liked it so much I loaned it out, never to see it again.

It was such a great book that I recently found it on AbeBooks and bought a replacement copy.
>Was the alleged murderer the home-owner, or the victims?

It’s funny because the answer to this reveals a lot with respect to OPs comment about “being used against the homeowner in court”.

1. The homeowner was a known drug dealer to police and one of the victims was his girlfriend. (Normally these facts might make the homeowner a suspect)

2. As it turns out (maybe directly related the his reputation with police) he had surveillance cameras, so even without Alexa the video surveillance actually showed the defendant with the women before their death.

Not to say OP isn’t right and voice assistant recordings will regularly be used in court against their owners interest, but in this case it only helped and the home owner already had video surveillance.
I mean, yes? The need for a valid court order is so that the executive branch (e.g. law enforcement) can’t unilaterally surveil and detain people. The court makes this decision by looking at the laws, which are passed by the legislative branch. If the elected legislature passes a law that vastly lowers the barrier for govt intrusion, well, it’s not a great situation, but it is possible under democratic principles.

Fixed point might usually put the "binary point" in between bits, but when doing a multiply between two of them you still have to do at least an integer multiply before the bit shift. Ditto division.
No, but calls to Alexa could at least establish certain timeframes when someone was doing something or was present at home.

A Very Grim Forecast: Bill McKibben on the IPCC Report
Sending voice data constantly is easy to catch on the user's side, by simply monitoring the traffic. So once they got caught, it is going to cause them a huge fortune and completely meltdown in terms of customer trust. And on the technical side, this makes very little sense either, they only needs to have the Alexa keyword detected then went through the backend ASR service, otherwise the cost is going to be overwhelming.
Twitter has gone to the dogs. It was my favourite social network by a long way as it allowed serendipitous interactions with people I would never usually directly be in touch with. With the rise of Trump and his nazi posse they decided to optimise for hits/quantity and indirectly controversy. I didn't think about it but I recently realised I don't visit twitter very often anymore while it used to be a daily occurrence. The problem with their model is that despite filtering heavily it is practically impossible to stop the nazi asshole mob leaking into your feed.

News like this just further distances me from any desire to use twitter. Seriously considering deleting my account despite the value it previously delivered.

HN, a website purportedly about tech entrepreneurship generally favors the 'government knows best' model.

We use terms like hindsight bias and selection bias all the time here; is there a name for the perception that the 'other side' of a wide ideological divide is more prevalent? Because I've read the same complaints about the libertarian attitudes here.

There are plenty of folks on both sides of the fence (or it'd be boring).
Where we're headed is pretty clear. Two big trends will drive this century - declining birth rates and rising temperatures.

The world hit "peak baby" this year. The number of babies born per year worldwide is now declining. The US hit peak baby in 2016. Japan hit peak baby in 1981. Japan, outside of Tokyo and Osaka, is emptying out.

On the rising temperature front, some areas of the world are becoming uninhabitable. Some of those areas near the equator have a lot of people in them.
Scaleway out of France has been doing baremetal cloud nodes for years. I used them during the beta and they are fantastic (despite slight latency due to being in France). Their smallest baremetal node starts at €3/mo for 4 ARM cores/2GB RAM/50GB SSD. Pretty cool infrastructure to be able to auto provision physical nodes on demand, but I think it's a different use case from the whole lightweight serverless processes on demand thing.

Fidelity isn't lying. The price improvement IS .04, not .01.

> The opportunity for "price improvement" – which is the opportunity, but not the guarantee, for an order to be executed at a better price than what is currently quoted publicly

It's measured with reference to the quote, not your order price. Think about it, if you sent a limit order for $20.02 and got filled at $10.02, did you get $10 of price improvement?
A really simple thing is that sometimes I really don't need the website for more than 10 minutes a year, but dealing with turning off notifications, being forced to create an account, being asked about app updates, having it on my home screen, etc is not worth it.

I think some apps feel nicer than a website ever could (because the app can take advantage of stuff like force touches better, and offer a nice custom usage of gestures). But some other places it really just feels like the app exists to push notifications...

We also use census for a variety of tasks, mainly for metrics but also for propagating small tags from task to task. The tags [1] can be essentially thought of as request-local scoped state for the entire tree of requests.

Unfortunately, while I agree with you on the monoculture angle, I'm not sure this article covered it in any meaningful way.

It's really sad to grow food and know what it looks like, and then go into a grocery where everything looks like an identical twin. A forked carrot? Must have been mutated by nuclear waste! A strawberry that isn't the size of a Snickers bar? Can't possibly be good!

It's consumer attitudes and opinions that need to change to make this better. It's interesting in America especially where one of the foundational attributes of the culture is "individuality" that the consumers expect the opposite of their produce.

One of the reasons developers will never garner even 1/3 of the respect of a surgeon is that our mistakes can almost always be fixed. If a surgeon makes a mistake, that can ruin a person's life or even end it. We have so much wealth that we can afford to devalue programmers and put up with bad code, but there's yet to be an affordable way to completely reverse a severed spinal cord for even the richest.
Perhaps I observe this bias based upon the articles I have chosen to comment on. Or maybe it is an accurate assessment. I can only speak from my own experience.

However, I would expect that entrepreneurs would generally have a free market bias. I create online businesses because I have an affinity for tech, and because the Internet has largely been an unregulated space.
Utter rubbish. Are flavoured boxes of chocolates and flavoured coffee syrups targeting highschoolers too just because they're flavoured?

Every vaper and ex-vaper I know or have ever met has used flavoured ecigs, including myself while I was quitting. A whiff of the vapour as they pass is enough to establish if they're using a fruity flavour etc. As I'm in my mid 50s and my friends are mostly 30s-60s I think it's safe to say we're not highschoolers.

The one and only time I tried a tobacco flavoured ecig I almost vomited it was so terrible. I think it's a flavour everyone tries as they switch. Tries just the once mostly - they are utterly unlike any cigarette.

You don't have to throw such claims around. If anything, they further weaken your case.

I watched the first couple of minutes of the video you posted. Even if we take that guy's word for it, you're talking about ONE salesperson. One bad actor. That's it. Which company doesn't have asshole sales people?

You are making a stronger claim: that Yelp itself is a bad actor. That, my friend, requires a much higher bar for proof.

Look, as I mentioned earlier, I used to work on building ranking algorithms for search engines (no, not Google). In the early days of the Internet (i.e, 15 years ago), there were lots of 3rd party people pulling off stunts like this salesperson.

You can call any business today, and try to get protection money (on Yelp) off of them. That doesn't make you a Yelp employee!
> was meant as a future example based on slippery slope, the direction being taken, and similar substance outlawings.

The next logical step would be to ban cigarettes, but allow people to continue to purchase loose leaf tobacco. But if that happened then smoking rates would likely fall enough that it'd no longer be a major health issue, so even if we are in a slippery slope situation it doesn't seem likely to me that criminalization is the logical conclusion.

Already most smoking deaths are in long term smokers. The 14% of Americans who still smoke are for the most part only smoking a few cigarettes per day (except the couple percent in the severely mentally ill population), so they're going to have nowhere near the same level of health outcomes as the folks who spent decades smoking multiple packs per day. I wouldn't personally ever use tobacco products because I place a high value on not being dead, but from a statistical perspective just looking at the number of current deaths would lead one to vastly overestimate the risks of tobacco use practices. I guess my point is that from a personal level you should definitely not smoke, but at a public policy level we'd hit the point of diminishing returns far before instating a complete ban.
I've only been here for a few months (BI engineer), but overall uptime for all data platforms has been good and things run smooth pretty much 24/7. Extremely impressive to me especially considering the breadth and depth of some of these datasets.

It's not a legal stretch to extend CALEA wiretaps to IoT devices. And if the device manufacturer cooperates (in the same way ATT does), then the hurdles shrink drastically.
On the other hand, containerization typically occurs on an independent (from other owners) instance of a virtual machine, which typically is running on separate processor cores, helping increase the overall isolation despite residing on shared hardware. Exposed processor caches due to exploits like Meltdown are a significantly higher risk on a platform of this kind than on a containerized environment. V8 exists at a much higher level than hardware-level exploits. How does your platform mitigate these kinds of concerns? Presumably you have some kind of virtualization above this to manage roll out of your execution environment, but adding a shared execution context like V8 feels to me like the risk factor is doubled, not reduced.
