Getting between 1% and 84% with differently phrased questions with different people doesn't mean that we can mash the results together and get some number in between.

There being an acceptable way to do so doesn't mean it tells you anything meaningful about the world.

Getting widely divergent numbers means to me that we don't have any accurate understanding.
Interesting stuff. Maybe there is a connection with the use of quaternion pairs to represent rotations in 4-space (as in the Coxeter paper).
And yet, we’re ill-equipped at diagnosing why children might mouth-breathe.

In my own case, this year I finally discovered a life-long moderate tounge-tie that prevented me from resting my tongue on the roof of my mouth. This led to a tongue thurst that resulted in a prominent mouth and a maxilla that was down and back relative to where it would otherwise rest given tongue pressure - I presented with a mild version of long face syndrome. That in turn resulted in a narrow airway (behind the maxilla), which made nose-breathing constricted and difficult.

I have been able to correct this with effort and attention, but it’s crazy to me that pediatricians, dentists, orthodontists and even ear-nose-and-throat doctors missed this underlying cause throughout my life. I have to credit orthotropics and myofunctional therapy for the ultimate discovery.

Worse still, a variety of factors mean this is becoming more common, eg it is implicated in sleep apnea which is rising. I speculate that there is willful ignorance on the part of the medical industry, as the alternative to this understanding is expensive treatment or surgery. I myself went through 2 rounds of braces, a deviated septum “correction” surgery, and nearly had tubes in my ears as a child. See here for an example of a description of the problem and treatment written with ignorance to the cause:

Being in tech means never having to say you're sorry (because you can freely switch between being a libertarian to shirk responsibility or a collectivist to shirk responsibility)
That call allocates a regular expression and, even ignoring that allocation, will struggle to be as fast as the count call.

(On top of that, I think it’s buggy. It won’t count character occurrences if char is a special character such as ‘^’ or ‘.’)
I'd agree, I believe poverty is at the root of most of our social ills, and we need to make a serious effort to solve it. We can do it while trying to solve the other social ills, but without solving poverty, we won't fix the other issues.
I have early memories of a non verbal world, and in it, objects were not discrete. There were visually distinct elements, such things on the walls, and the walls themselves, but I had no concept of them being separate, or having names, or needing them, and didn't think about them. I just looked around. There was no chain of thoughts, just silent observation.

Likewise, I lacked object permanence. When my mother left the room, she ceased to exist; I did not think about her or imagine her being somewhere else.

There was no sense of time, no before or after that I can tell.I was just living in the moment.

Ironically I know now what time it was, my rough age, and even the season, because of the specifics of where my room was. It was afternoon nap time. The sunlight was streaming in my window, which happened only in fall/winter, as there was a summertime screen of trees. We later reoriented our house, so that lets me establish my age too. I was just turned two, and late to talk.

There must have been some sense of self by then, but I think that starts earlier, developing from kicking your legs and swinging your arms, and eventually realizing that you are a causation.

Talking about this memory damages it, because language and symbolism overlays the experience into an approximation. But it is very different from my other memories.

I think I held onto that memory because I had a later event that echoed it. Soon after we moved to another town, and there a whole bunch of people got the flu. People had not forgotten the Spanish Flu by the early 70s, and there was worries about another one. So they quarantined the hospital,put me in an oxygen tent, and I got to enjoy another timeless experience.

By that time I could think, though I didn't talk. During admittance, my mom was holding me while talking to a nurse, and I saw a person in an oxygen tent get pushed down a hallfway. I pointed and asked, "Can I be in one of those?" Years later when I related this to my mother, she laughed and said, "No you didn't, you were too young to talk like that."

I wasn't yet old enough to be told "you'll be here for a few days at least", or "mommy can't visit you(and she was pregnant)". The O2 tent was comprised of a yellowish, rubbery vinyl, and I remember touching it, and that it was a new experience for me. Couldn't really see anything through it, except diffuse sunlight. So I lay there facing the wall mostly, too sick to move, and spent a week with no internal narrative. I don't remember feeling lonely, scared, or bored. I remember a nurse checking on me(and probably changing my diaper), but not being awake at night.

It is! That’s exactly what I’ve done. Who knows if this will continue indefinitely though.
> it's more about wire length and capacitance

At the fastest speeds, interconnect on crucial lines is engineered as a transmission line, where the inductance balances out the capacitance.
When you look at the propagation in the transmission line, the energy of the traveling wave is dominated by the electric and magnetic fields outside the metal. So it is not generally appreciated that transmission-line interconnect is already photonic, and moving at photonic speeds. As you might expect, for most transmission-line geometries, the speed of the signal is not terribly far away from the speed-of-light in the material.

Moreover, the intuition that "metal wires" are slowing down the signal is not taking into account that an "all photonic transmission" still requires some sort of confinement. If you were to eliminate the metal, you would still need some sort of waveguide to confine the photonic energy. Inevitably, the waveguide will have some region of a higher dielectric, which as you know will slow down the propagation and also have some loss. As it turns out, the final propagation speed is close to a transmission line.

So again, it's important to quantify exactly how the speedup occurs by switching to "photonic interconnect", because the reality is that it is already photonic.

Where photonic interconnect might have had a use is where the lines are very long, and the loss associated with a transmission line gets impractically large due to the confining metals. At that point, it's an engineering tradeoff: Converting to and from photons at each end of the line is non-trivial, and not all materials lend themselves to converting photons to electrons. There have been efforts since the 80s to put GaAs on silicon just to address this issue. (I was part of a team that got to 100MHz for GaAs-on-Si. The fact that GaAs-on-Si photonic transmission is still pretty much confined to the lab tells you everything you need to know about the manufacturability.)
Nice to see that others are finding this useful. :)
This would be an interesting topic for an episode of "the Good Place".
Like most studies of human behavior and physiology, it's quite easy to imagine unethical ways to test it
I think the best tool is still the old fashioned well written technical reports.

This book has many examples: http://aosabook.org
Do they let you send wires anywhere? Does every wire require manual review or extra documentation?

I know that Facebook uses human content filters - A friend of a friend is one - but something has changed with Facebook moderation in the last few months, and I have a strong suspicion that Facebook has started rolling out algorithmic moderation without humans in the loop.
The article explains why.

Facebook is a genuinely evil company with genuinely evil people doing genuinely evil things to manipulate the world in negative ways, and I want nothing to do with them. They've been immoral/unethical from the start.

They manipulate their users, cause genuine harm to people, the world, and democracy, and should not be rewarded with continued use of their services.

Edit: Because people have been downvoting/flagging my comments, I'm no longer allowed to reply to people and continue the discussion.
Have you ever seen a roof built? There’s a roof deck, and shingles of some sort are nailed in from above in a specific order. In many installations, there is a weatherproof barrier between the roof deck and the shingles. If you want to replace a single shingle in the middle, you do it carefully, and you may need a special fastener.
I like to use DrawExpress when I'm on the go, have an idea, and a phone or tablet.

Gestures and drawing shapes are where the big speed improvements come from. Typing is eh since it's a touch screen but a keyboard fixes that.
There seem to be at least one post every day on Hacker News that’s negative about Facebook. Does anyone here know why?
I manually write SVG, and maybe even animate them. Not the most productive way, but a picture can say more then thousand words. You can then put it into source control, web pages, or just have it as an image.
We have no more moral duty in leaving Facebook than we do in disabling our ad blockers.
Are you really leaving Facebook at that point though? They're still collecting every bit of text you send to serve you ads and sell your data. If your friends will only message you on FB messenger, are they really that great of friends?
Short sellers.
This looks great!
If it's OK, I would like to make a small suggestion for improvement. It will really help if you can add a reference to a broad stock market indicator (e.g., S&P 500). Without that it is a bit difficult to see whether the impact is due to the event or some other confounding event that affected all the stocks.

I checked the story about Apple's Homepod article in NYT on Feb 6, 2018 and the plot shows that stock prices of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. went up by 4-5% in 24 hours! But when I look at the number from Yahoo Finance, it seems that everything went up and Apple went up more than these companies. The next day all of them went down and then by Feb 9th there was a huge crash. Check out the graph for 5-7 Feb: https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/^GSPC#eyJpbnRlcnZhbCI6ImRheS...
I couldn't read the article because it has a paywall but I left facebook because it was ridiculous, not moral duty
This reminds me of how the geographical center of the US was once found by balancing a cardboard cutout [1]; an accompanying document then explains the limitations and caveats of this method and of other methods which produce different results, while musing about the discrepancy between the ambiguity of the ask and the public's expectations of producing a clear and reproducible answer.

Man, NYtimes has really chilled out on their coverage of the tech companies...
Great question. I too like diagraming and Im going to check out some of these tools.

Do you have any examples of your work? I can publish some of mine later today (have to remove specific details) if interested. I always love comparing and learning from different diagram styles.

I have found that spending a bit of time building some proficiency in Google Slides was well worth it. You have to do it without a real presentation in mind though, as it distracts from learning g the tool.
Another big time saver came when I created a template presentation with colors, line weights, fonts and font sizes that were to my liking. The Polish, if you will, that we often don't want to go back and touch once the technicals are on the page.
Ugh! This is getting tiresome. Yes, NY Times hates Facebook. I get it. Can we please stop posting story after story about that here?
Repair credit
It doesn’t matter how low your score is or how many negatives are on your report. Your credit report could be as perfect for anything you wish, if you come in contact with the right person. I used to have a low score of 420 and about some negative items including an eviction on my report. I knew I couldn’t quality for anything and thought my report would never get in shape. But life as a unexpectedly, proved to me that there could be light at the end of the tunnel. Yes there was really light. After being ripped off by online imposters many times, I finally met WIPE VIRUS. At first, I felt reluctant to give him a try. But when I finally did, I became ever thankful. My score was increased to a high 859 with all the negatives removed including the eviction just within 8 working days. I didn’t care about the cost because I had the best experience with him. I’m currently living a comfortable life I had wanted. I just decided to share my experience as I know that a lot of you out there will be in need of his services. You can contact him now through his email WIPEVIRUSE231@WRITEME.COM or text him on +17404860190. He can also fix a chexsystem report and a DUI report as well.
How to Land on Mars
I don't understand this disconnect. Messenger = Facebook.

If you are deciding to "leave Facebook" as protest to the fact that:

Facebook has played a significant role in undermining democratic values around the world

then that means you need to leave Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp, tbh, Facebook (product), Oculus and every other Facebook owned property.

I don't see how people aren't making this connection.
I've been encouraging friends to use SMS instead.
It’s because every day, someone submits a negative post and every day, people upvote them.
I’m not sure that I read the same article.

“For me at least, Facebook would have crossed a moral red line if it had, for example, intentionally sold the data of its users to Cambridge Analytica with the full knowledge that company would use the data subversively to influence a democratic election. Likewise, Facebook would have crossed a red line if it had intentionally assisted in the dissemination of hate speech in Myanmar. But the evidence indicates that Facebook did not intend for those things to occur on its platform.”
Wow, I can’t even comprehend that much hassle to report a card stolen. American Express will deactivate my card and overnight me a new one in 5 minutes on the phone with customer service.
Do you have any sources for the VIP claim?
Those are some mighty incredible claims. Care to defend them with proof?
You're going to get a fair amount of hate for mentioning the word "architect" here. They go into the same naughty list as manual testers, Scrum masters and release managers! Despite this, they can be very necessary for large orgs.

I've used Ardoq in the past, decent tool. All manual. Sparx EA looks very similar to visio and heavily TOGAF influenced. Both models are tough to create and maintain. A DSL in their own right.

No one really cares about architecture diagrams until they're really needed i.e platform migrations, rewrites, onboarding new staff, better reserve instance pricing. I've seen 6 different development teams all write architecture diagrams differently. All of them out of date and inconsistent.

I do think there is an opportunity here to build something more useful, the difficulty I see is that architecture is quite dependent on perspective. Security sees perimeters and firewalls, development sees microservices and DBs, DevOps see VPCs and networking.

I did come across weave works visualisation tools for Kubernetes that seem impressive and an OpenSource project but haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

You're right in your initial assumption that there is nothing out there to model architecture easily. Visio is as good as we have right now.
The fundamental flaw in the author's argument for using SuperMemo is that there is a ton of value in manually creating the decks yourself. When you write out an item in pencil on paper, then copy it to Anki and create a card, you're creating a memory and physical association with the creation of that card. When you just cloze pre-made selections of reading material, you're skipping this entire process.

This is the same reason that downloading pre-made decks from Anki's website doesn't really work.
The thing is, from my experience, this is not always a harmless situation. Seeing this reminds me of those times and makes me think of mitigation strategies to make sure I'm safe. (See that look on her face? My first read of that is 'Don't make eye contact, don't acknowledge them or they'll follow you around the block and into any smaller streets and if you're unlucky back to your house.')

The fact that there's so many groups of seemingly unrelated guys in the picture is good though, they will keep each other in check and if there's trouble some of them will step up to help. If you can be sure there won't be a small subset of them following you one minute later, it could be worse. They seem to be on some sort of break, so you're probably safe from that. The guy with the scooter looks the most problematic, so keep an eye on that one without looking at him.

This is a normal though process for many women. In almost all cases it's perfectly safe, but you need to catch the one where it isn't. Are you telling me this is irrational?
Well.. I don't know about your ad-blocker, but mine does not play any role in genocide. Unlike FB in Myanmar.
>I would agree with the substance of your comment if the form wasn't as childish as the old meme of replacing S with $ in various tech companies

Well, I did start calling it ickier at around the age of twelve.

I have also had a lifetime obsession with "I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue" on BBC Radio 4, so a fondness for excruciatingly bad wordplay is just part of my general makeup by this point.
>Do you have any sources for the VIP claim?

Do the people talking at a local bar qualify as sources?
It always bothered that Spotify doesn't have an icon on menu bar; so I decided to create one. With "Spotify - now playing" you can, easily from the menu bar, see information about the current track, control the playback (previous track, pause/play, next track) and add the current track to your library or playlist. The code and app to download it's here https://github.com/davicorreiajr/spotify-now-playing. In any case of bug, of suggestion, please open an issue in the github repo!
Hope you enjoy it!
Because Facebook is a horrible company and an increasing amount of information about just how bad they really are is coming to light lately.
If you open the link in an incognito window, it should work.
I'm starting to suspect the media is extorting Facebook. "Give us better rates at ads, or we'll be badmouthing you for months".
I retrain it all the time. It doesn't help. If there's any skin oil or sweat on the sensor it doesn't work.

It also gets confused if there's any dead skin on my thumb, something that seems to happen pretty often (and I don't even play Nintendo anymore).
If you know you're traveling to Japan and want to ride the Shinkansen, then definitely get a JR rail pass. They are good for a week (upto 3) of travel, but can pay for themselves in 1 or 2 rides. They're even good for travel within Tokyo on Yamanote and Chuo lines (and if your flight arrives in time for you to validate for the Narita Express or Haneda Monorail).

There are lots of places on-line to purchase, but the ticket must be delivered/picked-up outside of Japan and you must have a foreign passport/residence.

Also, the pass is only valid on the Kodama/Hikari (echo/light) trains, but not Nozomi (hope) which have fewer stops.

The real advantage of Green/1st class is that you can more easily book last munite at busy times without fear of the train being full.
You pretty obviously can’t do whatever you want. From a legal perspective you’ll be arrested and prosecuted if you commit a crime. From a philosophical perspective you have a moral duty to do good, by virtue of the intrinsic definition of good (whatever that may be in your ethical framework). Even if your ethical system says you should only do what makes you happy, you still have a duty to fulfill that goal as it is internally equivalent to the concept of good.
Ad blockers are theft.
When will New York Times point their Eye of Sauron against the things that you enjoy? They have no business spreading their version of "morality" lest it become a slippery slope into a new religion.

Facebook is an ad company. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. And even if they target you with ads, who cares? After decades of people saying "I don't notice the ads on web sites" all of a sudden web ads have the ability to take down countries? Don't dress it up as a "moral" issue, and plus, whose morality is the one judging this?

If you pick at every single company, you can find things that give you a "moral duty" to leave. How far will they go? Love video games? It encourages violence and gambling, you have a moral duty to leave. Do you have moral duty to not use Amazon anymore because they don't treat their workers the way the NYT wants them to be treated? Love muscle cars? It kills the environment with pollution, you have a moral duty to leave. Love cooking? Why aren't you feeding the homeless instead, you have a moral duty to do that instead of wasting money on fancy food.
Only 30 000 members though, and it's not increasing anymore.
You misunderstand. I understand that they are kind of the same thing, however when people leave fb proper, they are more likely to leave it altogether later.
"If you want to catch overflows on unsigned variables, use unsigned Z3 operations instead of signed, and do zero extend instead of sign extend."
Fingerprints, and especially the data captured by fingerprint sensors, is not unique, but it is so unlikely that two people will be recognized as the same one, that they are good enough.
Thanks. Yes. I had looked at this and since we're an Electron project we have specific requirements and one of those is a MacOS host as well as Windows. I think it's easier to find Windows + Linux for free but not Mac.

Additionally, I think we might not scale on the free tier but not sure yet. I tend to use a lot of CI resources. At work I spend about $500 per month on our CI boxes.
Don’t try all the exotic practises in the initial 1 or 2 years. Initially it is recommended only to observe breath, and may be the 4/4/4/4 technique mentioned in another comment, you can try the 4/4/4/4 technique by inhaling through one nostril and exhaling from the other. And gradually increase the count from 4 to whatever you are comfortable with.

https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/livin...

Recent Yoga teachers, try to teach all types of Pranayama to a beginner, but when reading books written 100 years back, it is mentioned that mind and breath are linked tightly, and practising techniques which isn’t recommended for your condition, by an experienced guru, can actually make you mad.
Well first and foremost, there has always been primal hostility on HN and similar boards toward advertising, and anything with privacy concerns.

Secondly, HN tends toward the far progressive end of the cultural spectrum (with libertarian streaks). And in the shocked and confused search for explanations, as to how a boorish game show host could win a Presidential election, Facebook has emerged as a prominent scapegoat.

Lastly, but not least, HN's demographics seem to skew young, while FB's demographics are clearly trending older. The more that trend continues, the more FB will be seen representing a tribal "other".
FB messenger is probably more secure than SMS, especially if you use secret conversations (although you lose portability of conversations this way).

Signal and iMessage are my favorites personally.
I somehow managed to get my _entire_ friend circle and family on Signal. I feel like I should get some kind of bronze life achievement unlock :D.
