I also see a third option, let nature run its course.

Yes, that means we will reduce the supply of Olive oil. But, if they follow through with the quarantine practices, it will destroy hundreds of years of root growth, diversity, and soil health.

Why do humans think they can stop the force of nature? We only make it worse for ourselves when we attempt to "control" nature.

What banking service are you referring to? Credit networks, debit networks, ACH, something else? AFAIK none of them are practical for micropayments, in the US at least. It's possible that the banking industry could invent a network on which micropayments are practical, but it hasn't happened yet.
By chance the treadmill to go with my sit/stand desk arrived today.

Having used a height adjustable desk some years ago I'd sort of written them off. I can't use one all day on its own, I find the blood just pools in my legs after a while and I just want to sit down.

Equally though I've also suffered sciatica in the past which I attribute to sitting for hours and hour before a log commute driving. It was agony. So to break things up I've got my own treadmill desk for my home office.

I'm walking right now as I type this. I can feel that my heart rate is definitely slightly raised but not so much I"m likely to start sweating. All in all seems pretty good so far.
Well the funny thing about the True Believers is that their numbers are strangely correlated to the price of bitcoin.
> How do you explain the extremely high domestic violence rates amongst gay couples?

A combination of indirect effects of heteronormative broader society:

"We found evidence that supports the minority stress model - the idea that being part of a minority creates additional stress," he says.

"There are external stressors, like discrimination and violence against gays, and there are internal stressors, such as internalised negative attitudes about homosexuality."

Isn't competition good for consumers though? Eventually, one of these network architectures will become more popular and we don't have to try them all out personally ourselves. I benefit greatly from people in the 90s testing out HTTP over other competing protocols, which, at the time may not have been obviously better.
It doesn't actually seem very wishy-washy? The article is focused on a single point: standing desks don't provide much health benefit to most people. The conclusion follows: use a standing desk if you like it, not if you've been wrongly convinced that you need it.

What more committed stance would you like the author to take? Since there are limited health benefits, nobody should ever use a standing desk?

Any reason why you chose LevelDB?

I was actually looking at clipper.ai for model serving at my work. I know it's not 1-to-1 comparison as clipper is much more generic where as this seem to tie in closely with PyTorch. Can it support models created using other libraries?
I don't think SV missed the window. Coinbase has done very well.

I think the reasons a lot of HN people are negative on bitcoin and blockchain are:

- For most use cases, blockchains seem like a really inefficient database. While blockchains are are neat data structure and might have some great uses in the future, most of the proposed use cases seem better served by a normal DB. Would love to be proven wrong.

- The "power used vs. utility provided" ratio of BTC seems insanely bad. A fairly small financial network (at the global scale) is sucking up a noticeable fraction of energy production.

- Crypto brought a wave of very non-technical get-rich hucksters into the tech scene doing pump and dump ICOs and the like.

- It seems like a lot of non-sophisticated, non-technical investors are getting duped out of their money. I hear all the time about working class people "getting into crypto" because they think it's a magic money machine and don't really understand the risk.

- And the biggest for me: Almost every crypto investor/fan I ask in person has NEVER used crypto to buy anything other than more crypto or to make small purchases. Crypto fans make huge claims like crypto is transforming commerce but it doesn't seem to jive with real life experience.
The benefits of a standing desk are junk if taken on their own. Standing for extended periods is bad for you, just as is sitting all the time. Your calf muscles behave as a pump for getting blood back to your heart, so when all you do is stand, that pump isn't activated and blood will pool. Just ask people that need to stand for a living.

This isn't a simple solution: our bodies are meant to move, and extended sitting or standing isn't natural.
Just my personal experience, but I used eval way more often when I didn't really know what I was doing. As I've learned Javascript, I've realized that in the vast majority of cases it's simply not needed.

If you're an experienced programmer who understands the risks of eval and there's no other good options, then by all means use it, but for other cases "eval is evil".
As an infrequent seller of things over the Internet, there are a lot of countries I would only ship to if I received an irreversible payment.

At least on EBay, the seller has some protections. On a random website you won’t.

Some countries have reliable postal systems that take forever and others have a high rate of fraudsters or thieving postal workers.

Sometimes some regions of the country are fine and others aren’t, but how can I know that?

There are such cryptos. stellar, nano and i m sure also others. And i think monero's anonymity promise is a big selling point too

I wouldn't be super quick on drawing the front-end and back-end distinction. A front facing interface using sockets could (depending on how flexible we are with terminology of course) be considered front-end too. And I think that's the entire point of the article.

I have seen huge benefits, performance being one, communicating using ZMQ (at the cost of complexity and reliability). A worker, running on your computer, consuming data fed through a socket from a broker, running on your server.
It depends on how big a scandal you think this is. For very big scandals, sure, the CEO either resigns or becomes Chairman, but releases day to day control.

The top guy at Enron went to jail, but typically there is some level of scandal that is "in the middle" in that nobody goes to jail, but someone has to lose their job.

When GM almost went bankrupt in 2009, they fired the CEO.

Vikram Pandit was pushed out of Citi.

Les Moonves just got kicked out of CBS for sexual harrassment.

The right level of scandal should lead you through 3 questions:

1.) should they go jail?

2.) if no, should they be fired?

3.) if no, should they face any consequences at all? (perhaps move from CEO to Chairmanship)

The real stock market actually has those kind of moves, approximately once a decade. Peak Akamai, for example, was $327/share on Dec 1 1999. I bought in at $1.90 in May 2002, the bottom was $0.90 4 months later, and it's currently at $68.53. Folks who invested in the dot-com boom are still 80% underwater (much worse than any Bitcoin investor), while folks who invested 3 years later are sitting on a comfortable 60-bagger.

Investors in GM & Chrysler (considered blue-chip value stocks at the time) saw their investments go to zero when the companies declared bankruptcy in the 2009 Financial Crisis. The S&P 500 dropped 50% in the same period. PG&E stock dropped by 53% in one day last week when it was revealed that they may be responsible for the California wildfires.

Pretty much everything worth investing in is that volatile. You just either need to be greedy when other people are fearful and vice versa, or have long enough time horizons for it not to matter.
Is this a real result, or just speculation?
4-6 months is exactly the recommendation now though. See http://peanutallergyfacts.org/resources/prevention-of-peanut... and http://www.allergy.org.au/images/pcc/ASCIA_PCC_Guidelines_Al....

> One of the most significant advances in food allergy occurred with the release of the results from The Learning Early about Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study in early 2015. Led by Dr. Gideon Lack of Kings College in London, LEAP showed a reduction in the development of peanut allergies of up to 86 percent by children who were exposed to peanut protein early

I say this not to diminish the scare you had. My son is allergic to peanuts so I know the fear. But if a population can see 86% reduction in new allergies, I'm all for it.

Do you have any resources / direction to give to a software engineer who'd want to learn more about security?

As a full stack web engineer I feel like I know nothing about security (just like most people) and I'd love to have more knowledge about it, even maybe work on this.

I have a small design and engineering studio, and might be interested in getting into that kind of services, if I discover that I get interested in this enough.

This is awesome! My company, Reflect, was looking at building a set of features similar to this but on top of existing data in peoples' systems right before we were acquired.

There's a big market of people who are looking to do simple data science and machine learning but don't know how to get started, don't have a lot of expertise to implement the algorithms, and the required ETL looks really daunting. You could put all of this on rails by looking integrating with existing systems.

I have a sit-stand desk, which is fairly common in Denmark. Last time I spoke to an ergonomicist, she said the most important things was to change position. Standing all day isn't great either.

I'm trying to start a habit of raising the desk before leaving for lunch, and before leaving at the end of the day.

I bought the Ikea sit-stand desk for home, since I find I waste less time at the computer if I don't sit in front of it.

Interesting post. As a relative newcomer to Haskell, who has only ever used stack and nothing else, I always marveled at how well thought out package management was in the Haskell ecosystem.

After reading stack history, I realize that that elegance was hard won. Great work!
Banks do it pretty well already.

Coinbase and the like failed to do it initially, and had to play catch-up during the peak of the activity towards the end of last year / early this year. I guess it was a sort of tech debt with regards to their customer support and experience dealing with KYC problems?
This article is a one sided look at how publishers benefit from Google without considering the other side, at all. This is not helpful for informed discussion.

If Google is 'helping' these publishers then the counterpoint is these publishers are also 'helping' Google by making the content at their cost in the first place. Without their content what will Google search? Wikipedia, blogs?

Without news content google search users will not get news context about their search queries so the search engine will lack a critical perspective and become lower quality, which will take billions of dollars of value off Google, lower its value to users and make room for other options.

Let's not pretend Google is not benefiting from news content. And since people clearly value news content producers can generate value outside of Google, and Google will need to pay to make money from that content or do without. Targeting a predatory model will make space for better models and ideas to emerge.
I agree, and also think it's very easily worked around in a way that is detrimental to publishers.

If I were in the shoes of a Google News product manager, my take would be, "Fine, I won't show your snippets then." I'd show a summary and then headline links to the various news sources. (Or if that's too much for the law, just links with the title of the paper.)

The number of news stories is small enough that the bulk of summaries could be quickly written by humans. But I suspect Google has enough ML magic that they can easily generate adequate summaries for most articles, with a small team of humans that reviews and improves prominent ones.

This would be just as good from the consumer perspective, and it's another opportunity for Google to build up a data-driven moat. But from the newspaper perspective, they lose out: anything that makes their voice unique or distinctive will get squeezed out. It would further commodify news, which is the last thing newspapers want.
That cuts both ways. They also can't tell you if they are thrilled, they feel they did the right thing and wish they had done it sooner.

Or at least might want to include an explanation somewhere prominent that explains how you define these terms in order for this not to be nonsense (and yes, I did search the rest of the pages).

There is a comment in the GitHub Readme, but that's not really illuminating.
I 'm confused about the position of bankers. Our bank terminated our business account because they found out we ran a cryptocoin price aggregator (oh the horror!). I had to terminate the site (because it was making peanuts and i didn't have the time) to have the account reinstated but i didn't understand the hostility. And this came from a bank that in 2013 crashed and literally stole money from their customer's accounts. This weird situation actually made me a lot more optimistic about the future of crypto, because , you know, banks are thieves too.

What are your thoughts on Ripple / XRP?
Not exactly.

Transactional CRUD (post a form, submit an email, add to cart) is pretty well adopted and standardized as HTTP, so probably use that (even backend to backend, if the contract fits CRUD resource semantics).

RPC (non-CRUD interactions) or streaming updates (e.g. a spinner in a app representing a pending job) or low latency (chat messages / presence status, etc.) don't really fit to HTTP requests so great (requiring e.g. polling) so you should look at alternatives (probably something proxied over a websocket in the case of a browser front-end app).
It seems this solves a different problem from clipper.ai, which seems to store model parameters themselves to answer f(inbound object, model); this also stores data, so it can answer f(inbound object, thousands of existing objects, model) where f might be nearest-neighbor search.

People whose reactions when confronted with something new, unknown, and unexpected are to laugh at it or respond sarcastically, instead of to accept the surprise, approach with curiosity and humility, and question if there is something they're not understanding, are unlikely to ever discover anything new.

Everything that we call science today was once alternately laughable or mysterious.
It's fascinating to see the differences in language around statistics across disciplines. I used to work in a group where my colleagues came from different backgrounds (one had a phd in particle physics, another a phd in stats, and the third a phd in economics). We all were hired around the same time. We spent the first month learning how to communicate with each other about basic statistical concepts so that we were on the same page.
But it's likely 32 bit only and won't work anyway on anything newer than iOS 10.

Actually, there's a decent chance it won't even work in iOS 10 or would have major glitches, because legacy compatibility in iOS just isn't great in general.

And it's literally impossible to downgrade to an older OS version after Apple has closed the signing window.

This can be true, it does appear that most recruiters appear to take a shotgun approach. They also just search for keywords and have generally not even read your complete resume. Occasionally they also don't look at cities, only states and have no idea the distance between where you are and where the job is.

Recruiter: Your resume says you have .net experience, we are looking for a Sr. .Net developer, interested?

Me: My resume says I developed some tools in .Net and that the bulk of my background is in php.

Recruiter: Great, would you like to apply?

Simplified but generally accurate. Either way I have had pretty good luck getting jobs via recruiters but there is a lot of chaff you have to get through. Your mileage may vary but I have been happy so far.
I've been hearing that more and more. I think it's fair. What I was going for is words that can't really be described by another word. If you were to translate them, you'd end up saying multiple sentences. It seems like similar languages like Danish and Norwegian have some similar words.
I just learned about state machines last month in preparation for NaNoGenMo. They're pretty cool! I squeeled with joy to realize that Markov Chains can be a form of state machine.

Then I started coding an adventure and the if statements began to pile up. Escalated quickly.

Now I have to refactor the protagonist's narrative engine library if I want to add more complexity and reduce total lines code. It'll take a bit, and maybe I can't finish by the end of the month, but it'll allow for more emergent behaviour. Going to lean towards "Utility Functions" as they're called.

Like many studies, in retrospect, it makes sense that agents would go to the simplest method of 1:1 comparison, rather than "learning" what is actually depicted in the image. Like a difference between how your brain tackles those games to find the differences between two nearly identical photos vs. a game where you try to name all the distinct items shown in an image.
> Advertising is different from Javascript. Advertising can simply be a load of images that are easy to render, as in traditional periodicals. Web pages suck because it's easier for a site to instruct the client to download and run analytics software from 3rd parties, instead of doing that work server side.

My understanding is that one thing that Google, Facebook, and the internet as a whole have done is to make online advertising an incredibly high-volume, low-margin business. Trackerless banner ads pay almost nothing. Trackers push the margins up, but Google and Facebook suck up most of the air in that room.
Didn't read the underlying paper, and definitely not a medical expert, but I do wonder how they define "withdrawal?" Is there a standard definition?

If you start taking a drug that modifies how your body works, isn't it logically obvious that if you STOP taking that drug, your body will revert to it's previous state and that state change will likely be negative, therefor you're withdrawaling?
Not work remotely, work in a distributed office.
But this then brings the question back (atleast for me): What happens when all coins are mined? I just looked it up and it's already >80% mined. So if miners would leave the pool and then suddenly (suddenly might even be a long period of time here, I don't know to much about bitcoin) all coins are gone. What happens?

Edit: What just got to my mind is that we will never gain more bitcoins then those 21 million, but we surely will lose them (people lose they keys, die, whatever). Will the price go up to "infinity" or will it suddenly drop to 0?

> Imagine an HTTP/1.1 verb named TRANSACT

Why not just use RPC at that point? If one of the concatenated messages has a failure, REST can only report back an error code for one of them. Also, the client can't really stop sending once it has started. The whole connection would have to be torn down to cancel out early. Also, transactions usually involve both read and writes. Doing a stream of writes that are not conditioned on some reads is often not that useful. (I.e. check if this account has money, and then transfer to some other account).

Most people judge based on their life-time experience. Being the average person is about 40, they typically judge based on the last 4 decades. China's history is full of violent revolutions. A big economic slump could snowball into political and social catastrophe. The gov't could grow complacent and/or out-of-touch and try to solve social unrest with ham-hands, making it worse.
