If there's a concise, non-militaristic name for a team with a specific, urgent, short-term objective holed up in a room together, I'd love to hear about it. "Strike team" and "war room" just work really well.

Chinese tech media basically rely on it.

The "self-media" cottage industry that Wechat and Toutiao (by TikTok parent company ByteDance) created, is of 99.99% garbage, but they know what content their users want and like to see, boasts "give me a pic and I can spin it into a hit story", they basically provided a heaven platform for sensationalists and hustlers like this guy.

Information and 'data' can be found to support nearly anything aslong as one lacks the integrity and honesty of due diligence. If there is a history of manipulating information, you now have to completely check and verify all resources. Doing this takes a good deal of knowledge in that field to properly work with, and those that do know what they're doing aren't going to be heard.

Given that I know the resource manipulates information, and that I am not privey to the information presented, but that there's plenty of resources that don't manipulate information that are contrary to this article, yes, I'm going to believe those until there's good reason not to.
This concept is really neat!

I do have one question: how would something like this work when your webpages are being cached or when you're behind a CDN? As far as I can see none of this can work unless all requests hit your web server.

Does anyone know of any solutions that work similarly, but would allow for CDN's and caching? I'm aware that these will probably need JS, but I'm fine with that.

The job market is really good now. People with way fewer credentials than Daniel can easily do the same.

I never had anything lined up when quitting any of the several jobs in my career. In retrospect, quitting my first coding job after a year without having anything else lined up was silly, but ended up working well.
I think another important side effect that you neglect to mention is physical dependence on the drug and the need to constantly increase the dosage to achieve the same effect.
> Alternatives for actually secure document transmission boil down to difficult to use private messaging/"secure" email systems (that only work in their walled garden).

Oh bloody hell. Begin rant.

We've had PGP for 27 years. Twenty seven years. Since 1991. Why the hell haven't we, the tech community, gotten the rest of the world to use it? I think the only person I've had a PGP-encrypted email exchange with is my mother. It's not a walled garden, and it solves the problem described here perfectly.

We could have vote-by-email (using the key registered when registering to vote). We could have universal passwordless login. We could have virtually all communications secure from eavesdropping all the time. But no, nobody uses it outside of a few computer geeks, spies, and journalists.

Pick the one that's the best fit for you.

I picked a job a few years back based on "it'll look good on my CV" -- turned out to be the worst decision I ever made. That's not to say every job will end as badly as that did, but I realised quite early on that I just wasn't a good fit for the company, and they wanted a "yes-man" to say "you're doing everything right", not an engineer who'd say "this is good, but we can improve by..."

Picked my last job based on the number of people I had at the company, the offer and the general "vibe". Best decision I ever made.

Don't be afraid to interview at a couple of companies then choose between them. Don't pick solely on "this is the highest offer" -- pick somewhere that feels like it'll be good for you.

And don't worry about prestige. About the only thing that'll put employers off are long gaps in your work history that you can't explain. But that's not a problem you're likely to have with a grad position :)

Getting things done and time blocking are good methods. The worst ist setting all up so you can start over with this methods. It's a lot of work but in the end, it's an awesome feeling. In the beginning, after setting it up, you really need to stay focused on this methods and stick to them. After a while, you get used to it and it becomes much easier.

The reason for these is that they calculate Customer Lifetime value as one time transaction. So they put all their efforts to get a customer to convert on his first visit or so. Booking has a bounce rate of 35% compared to 88% on hotels.com.

Although there is a group of travelers who absolutely despise this, and they would never book from such sites. As a traveler, researching and booking are part of the experience and should not be anxiety inducing.

During the 24hourstartup challenge I made Moovoo. Watch movies with no hassle
So on Friday, my plans for the night got canceled and I decided to take part in the 24hour startup challenge.

So I took two passions of mine, background noise and movies to create Moovoo.

Moovoo delivers movie content for you to see for Free on a schedule basis.

We are drowning in possibilities, netflix, hulu, amazon prime, but I always fail to find something to watch! With Moovoo you have different content delivered daily on a schedule basis.

Right now the content comes from movies that have a public license however I would love to get more indie film makers and help them showcase and promote their content!

Here you can find Moovoo: https://moovoo.space/

And the future roadmap https://trello.com/b/HRKPKg5M/

P.S If you want an indie movie to be seen please contact me on Twitter https://twitter.com/czioutas

Apart from him saying that his drawing skills aren't that great (which was the exact point above, it's better to be slightly above average in multiple domains than trying to be the best in one, which is almost impossible), I disagree with you that the mentioned comic artists don't have drawing skills.

XKCD looks simple, but the recognizability of these simple characters isn't that easy to achieve.
Can I check how you're using "chronic"?

You added "which can't be managed with lower powered pain killers" -- that step often isn't tried in the US. Doctors and patients are leaping direct to large quantities of opioids.

I'd prefer it if doctors followed the RCoA guidance: https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/faculty-of-pain-medicine/opioids-awar...

"2. A small proportion of people may obtain good pain relief with opioids in the long-term if the dose can be kept low and especially if their use is intermittent (however it is difficult to identify these people at the point of opioid initiation)."
I've only barely looked into the Kelly Criterion, but can someone explain the intuition behind maximizing the expected value of the log of your wealth? Trying the same derivation mentioned in the article but without the logarithm: the expected value comes out to 0.5×(1 + 1.1×f) + 0.5×(1 − f) = 1 + 0.05f which would make it seem that betting the entire fraction always maximizes your expected value. But why does this reasoning break down in the long term, and why does maximizing the log seem to make it work?
I think you're massively downplaying addiction. Sometimes it is physical pain at first, but you get hooked on it. Not everyone does heroin because they actually need that level of pain medication. They do it because it feels amazing. They get dependence on it, and then keep doing it. Read the Heroin diaries by Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue if you want a good look into that.

I don't know where you're getting that morphine isn't dangerous. It's highly addictive and deadly if dosed wrong, and you absolutely build tolerance over time which changes your dosing.

This sounds very similar to a treatment that my daughter is due to start next year at a Cambridge allergy clinic in the UK. She'll have to take the peanut based medication every day. She will have the initial dose in a hospital in case she has a reaction and then take the remainder of the doses home. Every two weeks we'll go back to the hospital to increase the dose.
I'm very excited about the potential for this to keep her safer, but also terrified at the prospect of deliberately feeding her peanut.

Not sure I follow. Unless I'm misunderstanding, wouldn't Kelly apply especially for your case? As in, Kelly is concerned with avoiding absorbing barriers and increasing bets when they're on "house money" (given a known edge, of course).
@ackidacki Thank you for the information.
The funny thing is, it became a cargo cult in many ways. I once worked with a guy who persistently wrote things like these in C++:

do {
...
if (...) break;
...
} while (false);

It took me a while to realize what this was about. But, basically, he invented a way to goto (so long as it was forward) without actually spelling it out. When I asked him, he gave the usual creed about how "goto is bad", and wouldn't be convinced that break is goto, especially given how he used it.

Needless to say, this kind of code is actually less readable than if it were written with a goto in it, because it looks like a loop, but actually isn't one. With goto, at least it's very clear what it's for, even when there was a better way to do the same thing.

The reasoning doesn't break down in the long term. If you repeatedly bet your entire fortune then you will have a very high probability of losing all of it, but you will also have a very small probability of having a huge amount of money. If your utility really is linear then this is worth it.

> Opioids may be a good choice for some people with long term pain (I personaly don't think they are)

They definately are for some people, because I'm one of them. I've tried everything else, and nothing even touches the pain.

I've tried numerous anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, levetiracetam, gabapentin, pregbalin...), tricyclics (amitriptyline, nortriptyline, dosulepin...), muscle-relaxants (tizanidine, diazepam...), anti-depressants (venlafaxine, reboxetine, duloxetine...), as well as NSAIDs like diclofenac, and assorted things like topical capsaicin and topical gabapentin. A lot of these made me dizzy and uncoordinated, where I couldn't function normally, and some made me extremely nauseous - while not touching the pain. The rest did nothing.

I realise I'm probably a statistical outlier, but I resent the idea that I should be left to suffer because my body and genetics don't conform to some p value from a meta-analysis.

Opioids should of course not be the first choice for chronic or neuropathic pain, because statistically other things are more effective and safer (e.g. pregbalin) - but doctors should not be prohibited from prescribing opioids when pain cannot be adequately controlled by other means.

If I had to deal with my chronic pain 24/7 without any pain relief... well, opioids have likely saved my life. I've been taking them for years now, and while I will obviously be physically dependant on them now (that's just how receptors work), I feel absolutely no psychological addiction to them whatsoever.

Japanese ace variety is fabricated by Thai festival TV station
Maximising the expected return of a single throw is different to maximising the growth rate over many throws. This is perhaps a bit unintuitive, for the reason that the expectation doesn't tell you a great amount about a distribution. You could imagine a similar game in which one choice of bet results in an enormous return with a tiny probability, or else ruin. Whilst your expected return method would tell you to repeatedly make this choice, doing so is clearly insane.
Kelly isn't about either of those things. It's a consequence of Kelly that it never hits the absorbing barrier, but lots of other strategies also have that property. What I'm saying is that among all of those strategies, Kelly isn't optimal.
Not a question but a suggestion. I live in England and am very aware that the residents of Scotland and Wales don't like to be classed as "English". You might want to change the title to the more neutral (and correct) Britain, Great Britain, GB, United Kingdom, or UK.
This example is a case for languages where the bodies of conditionals, loops etc are required to have a terminator. Python is technically one of them, but probably not the best one, because terminator is the DEDENT pseudo-token, and because it's just whitespace, it can be easy to miss.

The best examples are languages like Lua and Ruby, where you have to write it as if .. then .. end or if .. then .. else .. end. Alternatively, in the curly brace family, it's the ones that make braces mandatory in this situation, like Go - if ... { ... }.
Looking at this from an Assembler point of view, isn't everything really just a GOTO?

Instruction Register + 1 = GOTO next memory location

If A then B = Branch if equal = GOTO ADDR B

call function = put currebt address in stack and GOTO this address, then GOTO address on stack.

It seems to me that it is just GOTO all the way down. In fact there really is nothing else but Memory and GOTO.

Sort of ironic that the very foundations of machine computing is not a very good idea....

I spoke to a former VP of tripadvisor when they had acquired Viator. The business model they had was to get commissions on bookings(and ads), and apparently did not get that the volume needed. He compared the experience of browsing trip advisor for booking experiences as 'When you step out of the airport and a 1000 taxi drivers screaming at you all at once to choose their taxi for commute." (he then went on to join Musement I think)

Even now, for hotels they have made it like booking.com. The problem is that I am on tripadvisor for reviews, and would never trust a review from a site when the site is trying to sell me something. Like why would a site show me a negative review if that would mean i would not book the property.

All things said, I think the social feed model could work for them. They are about users browsing the experiences of other users (through reviews, ratings and forums) and this facilitates that. Though other social networks already have a lead in that space. Given their already high distribution, they could have a decent userbase in no time. Eager to see how this one goes.
I'm the same. The only exception to that rule is the Google 'quick launch` chrome browser. Otherwise, AMP is always slower.

It actually got to the point where I installed a plugin in Firefox Mobile that autoredirects all AMP pages to their HTML counterpart. Life is better this way.

I see IQ measurements as a rough estimate of certain cognitive skills that have some predictive ability of how well you will fare in solving classical school problems.

The pattern recognition skills that most IQ tests ask are fairly similar to solving a lot of exam questions. But they're only a part of the skillset that you need to become a great physicist.

If Feynman had prepared for an IQ test I bet he could have made it to 160. The kinds of patterns you see on IQ tests can be trained. But it's not a particularly interesting pursuit. I've personally done a professional IQ test and reached 130 while in university. Because in school you're training similar kind of problems regularly. I'm sure if I did an IQ test now I wouldn't even get close to 130, because I don't do exam questions regularly anymore. I also can't quote any successes similar to Mr. Feynman, so I doubt this is meaningful.

What IQ doesn't measure is curiosity. It doesn't measure how well you connect disparate disciplines. It doesn't measure how ready you are to upset the status quo. And if I read Feynman's book "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" correctly (great read btw), it was these things that actually made him think about physics problems from a different perspective.
But i think that the point is that it’s a bad story too.

Without a good story or a good text what is left to be good? Probably the price and the marketing.
This gish gallop is a well known technique of disinformation designed to give the air of authenticity.

All of those graphs look truthy, and it would take someone a couple of hours to go through all of them (especially because the submitted article doesn't bother to link to many of the sources) and discover the truth.

Look at some of the sources - the Herald Dispatch?

And look at the dishonest way it's rpesenting some of the data. There's a graph titled "Drugs involved in US Overdose Deaths, 1999 to 2017" and the article says this graph is trying to tell us that pills prescribed by doctors are the real problem and that the graph is hiding fentanyl. But look at the source: https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/o...

That graph has this text (missed out by the article)

"Drugs Involved in U.S. Overdose Deaths* - Among the more than 72,000 drug overdose deaths estimated in 2017*, the sharpest increase occurred among deaths related to fentanyl and fentanyl analogs (synthetic opioids) with nearly 30,000 overdose deaths. Source: CDC WONDER "

That's not hiding the fentanyl deaths.
I don't think it's true that you always need to constantly increase the dosage.

I've been on the same dose of dihydrocodeine for years, and effectiveness is just the same today as when I started.

I do take magnesium daily, as opioids cause constipation and this helps. Magnesium is an NMDA antagonist, and there is a lot of evidence that these prevent the buildup of tolerance.
Ah! Thank you very much.
> Any time you call a blocking function that the system provides, it should immediately yield the fiber, which makes it look preemptive.

In the old days we would call this cooperative to contrast it from preemptive. This is the essence of cooperative, yielding at explicit points be they IO request, timers, or waiting on a message queue. Preemptive used to mean a certain thing and this is not it at all.

I use PGP, but it is a pain in the ass to use, severely stunting its usr. Normal people can't effectively use PGP without significant training, hence no one outside some DMCA notice bots using PGP in production for the common person to see.

Even Riot with its fucked up key mismanagement is easier to use as a normie than PGP, though its looking like Riot will fix most of those trusted key management issues soon with the PRs that are about to land.

Signal is the gold standard for secure, easy to use crypto at this point IMO. Hopefully Briar continues to improve tho, normie friendly metadata free communication is highly alluring, and the key management is a middle ground between Riot and Signal.
