I got lost quite a bit on this, but luckily I stayed through the end.

> It’s a similar problem in natural science. You see some elaborate set of things happening in some biological system. Can one “reverse engineer” these to find an “explanation” for them? Sometimes one might be able to say, for example, that evolution by natural selection would be likely to lead to something. Or that it’s just common in the computational universe and so is likely to occur. But there’s no guarantee that the natural world is set up in any way that necessarily allows human explanation.
Ask HN: New gmail vs. new outlook.com user interface?
given the recent thread about gmail's new interface being sluggish, i wonder if outlook.com is better not just in terms of performance but also usability. anyone have opinions or facts?
That does sound neat. Sounds like it could be combined with 3D localization to allow eavesdropping particular sounds sources even e.g. in large rooms with lots of people talking. Multipath/ghosting might make precise localization difficult though.
What other companies do your acquaintances working in tech consider “prestigious”?
What is your point then?

An all meat diet is perfectly healthy if it includes enough fat. You started off by saying that you can’t get anything but energy from fat and that you need more than energy to survive.

> You cannot get "macros" from fat - you get energy, but you need more than energy to survive.

That’s not true. If you eat fat as part of an all meat diet you’ll have enough energy and nutrition to survive without problems. I wouldn’t be too surprised if a diet that was mostly fat with some lean meat worked as well.

> If you don't get carbs, your body breaks muscle tissue to produce it. There's also evidence that muscle is burned first before fat deposits.

Neither of these are true either. If you’re fasting and you stop exercising you will lose muscle rapidly as it gets broken down but if you continue exercising you’ll lose fat and a very small amount of muscle, accelerating over time.

> Ketotards eat a huge amount of fat thinking they are providing nutrients. Yes, you need fats, just like you need carbs, but not in excess.

If you’re eating nothing but meat you do in fact need fat to get enough nutrients. Given that carbohydrates are unnecessary to a healthy diet and meat is also unnecessary any notion of excess that claims to be acultural is ridiculous.

> Meat has vitamins and minerals, too. I'm not against meat, I'm against overeating when you're 30+.

This is the first time you’ve mentioned age or overeating. Every statement of fact you’ve made has been wrong. What was the point of taking part in this discussion?

Huh? I said I wasn't defending the dirty laundry and that there's definitely some illegal stuff in there that should be prosecuted.

The fact that he won't be able to air any government's dirty laundry is for the better. I can guarantee Russia will continue to air other country's dirty laundry with impunity in the future, with or without Assange.
I apologize if I missed something in the thread and misinterpreted it. I did read the link, can you please enlighten me with your interpretation?

> the law is predatory and unfair towards one or both parties.

When I got divorced 20 years ago some of my friends thought it was unfair that my ex took $20k (of $40k) out of savings, packed her stuff and left. When I tell that to men my age they're like HFS!!! fist bump

Another fiend got divorces, wife got full custody, child support and alimony. The take was so much he and his two kids had to move back into his mom's two bedroom house.

Friend of mines after she married her husband quit his job and started playing video games full time. Spoonged off her for ten years till she divorce him. And so now he's legally sponging off her using his partial custody as a lever.

Currently I have a GF who's been unemployed for a year. Sort of typical in her industry. If we were married we'd be hosed because health insurance would cost me another $800/month.

That aside, problem with the law is the law can't cover the myriad of ways people can get screwed over in relationships. My take is don't get married it either allows the other person to screw you or gives others the ability to screw you.
It's not even time consuming if you get a bread machine and, if you care to, a slicer.
Yep, I most likely had it for 5 years without realising it. I had no idea why I was so tired.

Every day, getting to work on time was a huge mission, slogging through the day trying to get stuff done jacked up of caffeine.

Then the nights, despite being exhausted I was unable to fall asleep, my experience was that I was lying awake in bed for hours but actually I was falling asleep many times per minute and choking myself back awake. The only easy way to get to sleep was to have a few drinks which naturally made my apnea worse, not to mention the negative effects of alcohol.

Once I realised I was doing it, I learned to sense when I had choked back awake. I did everything I could to get a CPAP Machine ASAP (it was expensive and not covered by health insurance in Australia).

2 weeks of using it every night I felt like a new person. My compliance using the device is nearly 100% over the last year (as reported by the device) and it's been so great.

I fall asleep in about 5 minutes these days.

The reason why I didn't realise I had this condition was because I had been single for about 6 years and slept on my own. It wasn't until I started dating that my (now fiancee) said 'you snore and choke all night'.

So, as a PSA, anyone overweight and long time single that is always tired, get a sleep study!
I believe it because there's a lot of evidence of this including literally in this post and in my other comments.
This reminds me a lot of patio11’s fascinating write up about Japanese Hometown Tax. It makes total sense for small cities to pay for high earning remote workers to move there. Perhaps this will become a trend. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2018/10/19/japanese-hometown-tax/
Lobbying from the AMA to limit available labour & maintain high wages
I have always wondered why (especially junior) software developers glorify Facebook/Google/Netflix/whatever claiming that they are the best places to work and "only the best people work there". What a load of nonsense. Those companies are about making money getting people to look at and click on ads. Nothing else! An activity that provide no real value to society. And (adding insult to injury) are responsible for increasing the distribution of non-fact as facts. Compare that with software developers working for companies providing real beneficial products for people, saving lives, giving happiness and improving health. Now that is companies worth working for.
Pretty ironic when the first comment got deleted. WikiLeaks is of course a news organisation. There is no "especially" when it comes to freedom of the press. Besides, it's not medling to show the truth. Btw. state owned or not (hint: the BBC is also "state-backed") RT is also a news organisation.
> Many people don’t want to take on those legal and financial obligations.

But they used to so what has changed? And could it be changed back?

Edit: If anything people used to jump into them too quickly.
That's not quite an example - it's an unnamed source, and Assage defends himself by saying that it was unverifiable (which we can neither confirm nor deny).
The indictment referenced in your first link literally doesn't mention WikiLeaks or Assange. It's pure speculation.

Pompeo is a liar, and Clapper was to. Check out all of Clapper's statements he'd make before being nearly immediately contradicted during the whole Snowden thing. After paying attention to statements from national security heads for decades, they are just straight up lying an alarming amount of the time.
The argument here is nonsensical.

For example, "With what exactitude must, say, the square root of 2 (an irrational number that enters into many of the relevant quantum operations) be experimentally realized? Should it be approximated as 1.41 or as 1.41421356237? Or is even more precision needed? Amazingly, not only are there no clear answers to these crucial questions, but they were never even discussed!" This is completely wrong. Of course the field has studied this problem; people aren't idiots.

But your concern is also wrong. Preparing the initial state is easy; quantum algorithms generally start in the all-0s state. Even quantum devices like the D-Wave machine, for which there is considerable skepticism about its workings and power, can easily be initialized in the all-0s state.

(With error correction, one needs to prepare the encoded all-0s state, which is indeed difficult to prepare. But in principle it is doable.)
I'll bet you don't get hammered drunk every night either.
I know it's unfashionable, but shouldn't the parties choose a candidate they feel is most likely to do good and communicate why?

I feel the constant triangulation is a big reason why the democratic world is so messed up right now.

Truepundit.com is a site with no named reporters but somehow still manages to get "scoops" from unnamed sources in the State Department, the Justice Department, the Pentagon, and the FBI. Yet these scoops are never confirmed by other sources and many of them are proved false, like these:

Because delivering ads to a few billion people is a hard problem which leads to needing good engineers. They pay _really_ well compared to smaller orgs because it's difficult to hire that talent and ads are _very_ profitable.
>Russia used him as a deniable way to launder secrets they had stolen into the American press.

I have never seen proof of this accusation? Can you link me to it? Not the accusation, but proof?

What is it: was he "used" like you said, or mislead, or intentionally aiding Russia?

To be fair the DWS scandal is a real problem, a big deal, and a threat to our democracy... and nobody was seriously punished for that. DWS is hardly the pariah that Assange is. And this happened during your second phase.
“I’ve heard a lot of employees who work there don’t even use it,” said Niky Arora, 19, an engineering student, who was recently invited to a Facebook recruiting event at the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif."

This is really thought provoking, I think I'm going to start asking interviewers if they use their products and see if they squirm.
Has anyone used an RPi for commercial products?? Im interested to use it for a project that I want to spin off commercially. Just curious.
Good question. I don't.

But it's much more unlikely that he'd be an actual Russian intelligence employee since they're usually Russian I think.

The more simple answer is that he's just being run by them through money, blackmail, extortion, or some other leverage. Why employ someone when you can just get them to do what you want with simple threats?
The average person worries about plenty of things that are very very unlikely to happen to them, but it still worries them enough to pick an option that is more likely to harm them, but in a less scary way.
So, you think there should be punishment for airing other countries dirty laundry? Should e.g. the US punish the turks for airing the Saudi's dirty business? I think that s not a defensible position

In this article, what does "simple" mean? At first I assume it is "simple to understand" but clearly thats not the case.
How about "As one tends toward absolute power, they also tend towards absolute corruption". I think that is a more accurate analogy.
I see it as a reflection of the website's overall design stance: no frills, no stupid material design, no js junk scripts. Just a fast-loading website that loads what it needs to. This kind of website is quite refreshing in 2018.

Maybe one day it will have a tiny amount of JS, but let's cross that bridge when it comes. That's still better than the vast majority of modern websites built today.
True, I am just pointing out where their income is likely going.

Healthcare, in America, is broken.

We need single payer healthcare for all emergency and 'standard' care (government gets a bid on rates from practitioners in the area, and if it doesn't like the rate, supports patients via the military systems).

That includes vision and dental; being able to see and being able to consume food properly tend to be requirements for workforce productivity.

Cosmetic and luxury care (like cutting triage lines in non-emergencies) can be premium services.
This is exactly the problem we have tried solving with the Frappe Framework [1] (Open Source, MIT).

The core concept in Frappe is a DocType, which is configurable metadata. Using this you can quickly build small, special purpose apps for very niche targeted use cases for their own business. You can also configure rule based permissions and add simple scripts. We have used it to build hundreds of use cases for ERPNext (Open Source, GPL) by allowing complexity to grow linearly (instead of exponentially).

This also helps keep the base layer and the "one size fits all" business layer (like say an Accounting Ledger) clean. And you don't have to worry about UI, permissions, REST API, deployment, maintenance and users get a consistent experience.

Working near a major station like Kings Cross where Google is gives you a really wide area with a sub 1 hour commute. Plenty of commuter towns in that radius have housing easily affordable on half that salary.
Hmm, you think so? I hate having to always keep Linux up to date. I prefer to just load micropython onto an ESP and be done. I use the Pi for heavier workloads, but that does mean it very rarely gets used.

Edit- Sorry didn't see this exact comment below, so I concur
sqlite famously squeezed out a ~40% performance improvement (I think from v3 to v4?) by just combining tons of micro-optimizations of this kind where it wasn't obvious if each change even made an improvement. They measured the performance with cachegrind in order to identify very small improvements that get lost in the normal measurement noise.
It’s a hard problem that engineers- if they really are good engineers- should question the utility and consequences of solving.

Thank God some of them are.

Some people have notified me that someone is currently using an e-mail address visually similar to my company (located in Japan) mail address to scam people in the US.

If anyone here has any good ideas I would really appreciate it.
And even if the machine made any noise, my snore is louder. :)
There's literal proof throughout this post. In fact, I posted some too.

There are definitely levels of threats to American democracy. If DWS refers to Wasserman-Schultz then it pales in comparison to an enemy foreign state's military intelligence corrupting the American government.
Its interesting - given the 48k/job incentive that was being talked about for the amazon hq2, I wonder how the 10K in Oklahoma incentives compares. Of course, one is a corporate incentive in a place where a lot of skilled workers would likely be either way, and one is a place trying to attract talent, but on some level, it makes me wonder if the outrage over the tax incentives actually makes sense. Given the state income tax revenues and local economy inputs, it would seem that a 10K RAC (Resident Acquisition Cost) for someone making > 50K would be a no brainer assuming they still in Oklahoma for 4 years and the tax obligation is 5% to the state. Not sure what the numbers would look like in NY instead and whether the opportunity cost really applies since it would likely be full of ppl either way.

Other stuff I'd love to see once sr.ht is more mature would be nice, clean, UNIX-ey alternatives to GitHub Pages and github.io. I'll be looking forward to OpenBSD support, especially for running CI jobs on as well.
Even if he is partial to putin, his work benefits the world by pushing others to do the same. I 'd rather live in a world where governments compete to expose each other's secret than one in which they conspire to hide as many as possible from their people. That's medieval
Part of the problem is that hospitals don't disclose prices before performing services.

So patients must agree to a procedure -- yet only afterward find out how much it costs. That price can be shocking, and the patient never agreed to pay it. No wonder it becomes hard to collect from them.

In the rest of the economy, we agree on a price beforehand. That makes customers more likely to pay.

The medical system, however, has given up on disclosing prices to patients, because everything is paid by insurance. And now we have Doctors who say:

> “It's harder to collect from the patient than it is from the insurance,” said Amy Derick, a doctor who heads a dermatology practice outside Chicago.

If you want people to pay, then make an agreement with them before you perform the service!
Credit specialist
I was convinced by my brother to search online for a reliable programmer and I did for hours searching for a reliable credit specialist to fix my credit, almost gave up until I found REPAIR WIZARD. He was referred by a user on the website. I don't know why, but I never doubted him for a second. And to my optimistic expectation he never disappointed me. In less than 7 days, he had my credit fixed, my credit score raised to the score I wanted and my loans and negative items removed. All I can say is, Life is good when your problems are solved. I would be forever indebted and grateful to REPAIR WIZARD for the opportunity and privilege to have and live a better life. Here's his email, REPAIRWIZARD4@GMAIL.COM and his number; +1 520 441 6561.
>Can we agree that an indictment is much more than "nothing" and indicate a strong belief on the part of prosecution that they have a winnable case?

Sure. Wikileaks still is not mentioned as the prosecution does not feel they have a winnable case against the organization, and these indictments do not show Wikileaks knowingly coordinated with Russia.
The pushing of this message by Wikileaks and the Kremlin was quite a feat of propaganda, and you can tell the propaganda was well done because they made its believers believe that everyone else believed it too. Even now that the source has been revealed.

Sanders lost the primary all on his own, and you didn't need "leaks" to reveal this, just polls. Conspiring to make Sanders lose is like conspiring to make water wet.

Whataboutism is when an argument is presented with a counterargument of hypocrisy, ie literally what the person replying to me was doing. The argument was "the US leaders are protecting themselves by extraditing Assange, who uncovered their crimes", and the reply was "but Assange is a Russian asset, so he's not so great either". Asset or not, the crimes were still committed, and the people who committed them are still guilty.
No shit. This has been common knowledge for a long time, except among people who go to major media outlets for health advice, rather than factual scientific literature...

Yes, ‘two address lines’ is ad-hoc, but a user’s expectations may also not match the pattern: ‘a multi-line street number, name, apt #, etc; a zip; a city; a state.’

Should we get rid of auto-complete for state and city, using the zip, too, then? I don’t think so. But where to draw the distinction?
You did not say "there is no absolute proof', you said "There is nothing suggesting". This very much suggests.
