I really dislike this "suicide is the most selfish thing", but I came to appreciate it for what it is - a meme. One of few of this kind society uses to discourage suicides. Others like that include pretty much every religion I've heard of making suicide a grave sin that will prevent you from reaching the desired afterlife.
I have been recently considering getting my genome sequenced. It seems like, if one of my main priorities in my life is longevity, this would be one of the most cost-effective ways to find out what factors are likely to influence that, and change my behavior based on the results. $1000 seems steep, but if you think about it over the course of a whole life, it's not so bad...thoughts?
no, unfortunately most eastern european societies are completely broken due to USSR influences.
it was a wide-held belief in eastern europe that the state knows everything about you and that you should hide your daily life from everyone, as everyone could be a spy working for the government. this is what historically underlines gdpr and the whole privacy movement in europe: a deep-seated mistrust of everything and everyone.
even to this day most european societies that fell behind the iron curtain are still broken 30 years after it came down.

Facebook is one vision of ~modern life. Social networks are massively overrated in term of human value IMO. I think whatsapp is probably closer to what would be useful and not toxic. I don't believe people need profiles and graphs and whatever.
Should be Quadcore then it would be a no brainer. Come on Intel...
TLDR;

This mainly affects luxury clothing items for which “Made in ...” label matters more. The fashion is becoming ultra fast as trends are set by items on Instagram and 30 day bulk shipping from China doesn’t cut it. The term is “nearshoreing” because it is cheaper to produce in Mexico for US market and in Turkey for German market. Still, US and Germany themselves not an option because they are 17% and 144% more expensive respectively. China is responding by opening factories in places like Ethiopia.
What have you built? (non- technical), Need advice,
I was recently asked by a YC partner who I deeply admire "what are some things you have built in the past" How do you answer this as a non- technical person? Some background- I recently graduated college with a degree in Economics and I don't think I've ever built anything cool. I need to fix that ASAP
But you know Google is not a startup.
Active users as a statistic reminds me of employment rate.

It sounds useful, but it's not really that useful, because it's not really measuring the interesting thing, it just sounds like it is.

For example, I think the stat you're quoting is monthly active users. If everyone used to engage with FB 20 times a day but now does so once a day (or once a week, or once a month) the active user count will stay the same, but the reality is very different.
"... the drugs won't cure you - they will just end up working as a crutch for an indefinite period of time"

True. These drugs aren't a cure. They are a tool. For many, more like an aspiring writer's desk than a cripple's crutch. ADD drugs are like coffee, but without the culture. Use wisely: they can help to improve motivation, which can then be applied towards or away from self-control. Don't expect a cure or for the drug to do your own hard work. Like any tool, there is a learning curve and skill set associated with expert use.
At least those you can quarantine on a network level; it's much harder (or really impossible) when it's networking equipment that's suspect.
If there were a search engine that, say, turned up comment-pairs where dang replied to chris_wot, then it would be easy to get a sampling of their (public) interactions. I doubt any normal search engines (or even hn.algolia.com) do it. (And both posters are active enough that going through history is impractical. BTW, as one data point, 14 of dang's last 36 comments contain the word "please".) Perhaps someone has a database of HN comments that could be queried in such a way. But yeah, in the absence of links or a pointer to such a database, it's not substantiated and so the reader's evaluation is going to depend primarily on their prior opinions.

The Fappening should have triggered that type of reaction. It didn't. Because it wasn't the average person who got snooped on, just celebrities. And people love looking at celebrities, nude and otherwise.

There doesn't need to be a software exploit. There could be a dormant hardware exploit(for example ime) that could be activated with a 'magic' packet.

There's so many ways to hide something within the software or hardware that it's incredibly hard to vet its security.

The US is currently in a cyber cold war with china. It's very probable that there are hardware backdoors within these products.
There is a memory encryption engine on each CPU that transparently encrypts and integrity protects each cache line as it flows to and from main memory. The integrity protection info is stored in a tree -like structure in part of one of the on CPU caches. The storage overhead for this data structure is one of the reasons the maximum enclave size is currently limited to about 100MB, although rumour has it that limitation will be removed in future generations. In saying all that, I would be very interested to hear ideas you might have on how Rowhammer could bypass SGX :)

Right, which is why Bloomberg published a story about China inserting backdoor hardware on its chips. A story that was refuted by the CEOs of the companies supposedly hit by the attack and by the very sources cited in Bloomberg themselves. A story that hasn't produced a single physical compromised chip as evidence despite Bloomberg claiming that there were tens of thousands of units affected.
There is a way how this Youtube video might have been faked. It's maybe a bit subtle. Chrome allows multiple user profiles that have the same name. The video starts with a browser window already open. This might not be the default account; this account isn't associated with dog toys.

The window he opens after his monologue uses the default account. This account actually has been prepared to show dog ads. Maybe he looked at the ads before recording the video to get the details of the advertised products right. The rest is good acting to sell this stunt.

If this is how the video was made, then it would be pretty manipulative. I don't like that conclusion at all.

They use sequencing tech from Complete Genomics[0]. Which in turn is owned by China based BGI. The tech is the brainchild of Dr Drmanac[1]. Note that the $200 price tag is for one of those Whole Genome Sequencing with lots (i.e. 1 error per million base pairs) of alpha and beta errors. A "perfect" sequence is waaaay more expensive.

Love how Wells Fargo is running commercials that highlight how great they were after the SF earthquake in 1906. They don't have a single example after 1906 where they did well by their customers? Here in the Midwest they're selling their banks, reducing their geographic footprint.
Yeh I realised afterwards that at these high clock speeds maybe they do need some extra cycles to do the correction. I don't see why you must do it in hardware to avoid timing side-channels. You just need to provide a constant latency i.e. The cpu ucode does some nops when correction is not necessary.
Back in university I had a side job as a security guard in an office building, when this happened. Someone took the cargo elevator, which was built to carry a higher load than the regular elevators, so it had a massive counter weight. The thing slammed into the ceiling with a bang that could be heard through the entire building, and the damage was quite extensive. Took a while for the guy to calm down as well.

I knew it because I looked up your bio for the first time You don't hide it, but I don't remember reading it in your posts here, not as much as the complaints about other people's behavior at least.

>My condition is not late onset.

And the only person I knew with CF had been diagnosed as a toddler and had a 20 y. life expectancy because of genetic bad luck. That you could live 30 years without heavy treatment sure says that your condition was not as bad as that person, and maybe there's a state of affliction that cannot be conservatively managed.
It's the foundation but Chrome is much more improved & stable. In my opinion.
Unfortunately, not as funny as the book.
Ironically, come over to Japan and you will hardly see a single sign typeset in Choc, or any of the popular wonton fonts[1], anywhere. This is despite the fact Latin text is very commonly used in JP storefronts as decorative elements. The collective impressions around those fonts represent a westerner's orientalist stereotype of the East, not of the actual East. To an Asian native, it comes off as cheesy as hell.

I usually find most complaints of cultural appropriation frivolous; go ahead and dress up as ninjas or wear kimonos all you like, we don't care! But this in particular keeps bugging me somewhat, as hardly anyone - even the writer of this article - seems to care about that angle much. Even in the logo for Disney's Big Hero 6[2], which I assume was supposed to be Disney's love letter to JP pop culture, wonton font influences die hard. (At least they de-wontonned the logo for the Japanese release, retitled as "Baymax."[3])

Emulating the frame is also just part of the emulator. I.e. you got the display memory in some array (of pixel colors) in your code and the emulated instructions modify it. Then you just have to draw whatever is in that array on a "canvas" that your programming language supports.

Mine is also a Go program that reads several files and does some basic computations on top of it. I wrote about the `time` measurements here: https://blog.bethselamin.de/posts/latency-matters.html
Over the past ~1,5 years I have used my iPad in the same way. I still appreciate it greatly for what it is, but over time it has become incredibly cluttered.

* Once you switch your preferred text editor a couple of times file management becomes a mess. You probably didn't copy over and delete everything immediately but you moved _some_ files over to try it out. Now you have different versions of everything, all of which you're afraid to delete. If you hitch a ride on the iOS text editor hype train every so often you'll have three/four of these red flag apps stashed in a folder somewhere within a year.

* If you use more than one app on the same text file there will be numerous copies of it in different apps.

* Some apps support 'open in place', meaning they don't copy the file you're editing to the app's sandbox. But I don't know which apps support this and they all use different terminology to tell you on use (if they tell you at all). In addition these files or file pointers may or may not be differentiated in the app's local file system and may or may not be there when you reopen the app.

* Each app has its own, separate tagging and/or folder solution.

* Some apps have a genuinely clever way to solve a problem that should be solved on the OS-level. These solutions make no difference to me; only one app supports them, and using them is mildly intuitive so I never get beyond using them once or twice.

And on it goes. I have found the best use for my iPad is to treat it as a stateless machine. My passwords, bookmarks and apps are on it and that's what I'll use. Then I move the files elsewhere and forget about the internal storage. In that capacity it's the best device I've ever owned.
This problem can be solved by hiring a professional who doesn't interact with the children to do the arguing, assuming there is enough money on the table to make that worthwhile.

(I mean, I agree it's a big problem. I also dislike haggling, and I think I would have done much better had i outsourced that function when I ran a business, even if I paid a lot to that person)

All that said, a sufficient guilt trip might be more effective than a fine in any case, and is something that a caretaker could probably provide.
But Instagram users aren't, and there's nothing stopping Facebook from buying whatever the next generation of youth start using to replace Instagram when its time comes.

The question is can they make enough cash to make the model perpetual.
I don't think dang is a good mod. They've removed my ability to downvote or make a new thread.

In fact, they remind me of Stackoverflow community.

I didn't ran into problem with sctb tho, i think he's fine. But dang, she needs tone down her impulse of over moderating everything.

I don't agree with all their methods and opinions. Most threads which hurt business are deranked and removed. Specially, the ones which discuss the dark side of the startups, after all YC has to make sure no one rocks their boat.

And the ones which discuss sexual harrasment or racism in YC Startups or Valley startups, are removed from the first page faster.

Lifestyle business threads are also removed from first page so that no entrepreneur might imagine that something is possible without VC funding.

Pretty, sure these guys get paid for their work. I don't see why should we be thankful afterall it's free market. If they don't like their job, someone else will.

The purpose of this forum is to attract talent from all around the world to silicon valley and mining the bright people who comment there for ideas for next billion dollar startup which YC guys will fund as they got those investors on their side.

Rest of us really don't benefit in material way other than probably a feeling of winning an argument on internet and raising testosterone/dopamine a bit.
Yep, men are carers of women, women are carers of children. No one cares about men but themselves.

I honestly don't know the quality of data that statista produces, so take it with a grain of salt. The curve does appear to be dimming towards the end of Q3 '18, but it certainly doesn't appear to be as dire as people make it out to be.

I think there's a heavy dose of IT-industry echo chambering going on here to be honest.

Point of interest: I severely dislike facebook, so not trying to justify anything on their behalf. I just don't see the idea that "facebook is dying" among any peers in any social circles I'm part of. I do wonder if it's different in the United States.

The jist is, people are extremely bad at basic logic. Unless it's really in their best interest within the context of the story (ie, catching someone cheating you) to be good at them.
It makes the difference between <50% of people getting the question right, vs >90%.

Presumably, everyone wants to get these logic puzzles correct. It just so happens that we're conveniently hard-of-reasoning except when it suits us.

For reference, the "logic puzzle" is Wason's selection task: which pieces of information do you need to test "if A then B"?
The choices (choose exactly as many as needed):

(1) A => ?, (2) !A => ?, (3) ? => B, (4) ? => !B?

That's not quite right. The conditionals are executed in order in the innermost loop. For instance:

>>> [(x,y) for x in range(2) for y in range(2) if print(x, y) is None if print(x, y) is None]
0 0
0 0
0 1
0 1
1 0
1 0
1 1
1 1
[(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1)]

Both conditionals have access to x and y.

So the list comprehension is equivalent to this:

[(x,y) for x in range(10) for y in range(10) if y > 5 and x < 6]

And could more clearly be formatted like this:

[
(x,y)
for x in range(10)
for y in range(10)
if y > 5
if x < 6
]

And would look something like this in a functional style, perhaps:

toTen.flatMap(x =>
toTen.filter(x => x<6 && y>5).map(y=>
[x,y]
)
);

Strange schizophrenia from Microsoft - having actually presumably secure cloud instances on site, and actively making their other products less secure by monitoring users of their core OS and Office suites even if users specifically want to prevent that, even the top enterprise editions. I understand those are different parts of the company managed by different persons, but at the end, top of the pyramid is the same.

Corporations are like people - they don't change. You can put on different mask every day, but underneath its the same flesh and bones (or decision makers in this case). I would be wary of the notion that Microsoft is somehow a good moral company in one specific area, when it is amoral in others.

In addition to formalising _theorems_, one can aim to formalise _definitions_. See here for some discussion:

Of course the two are very much intertwined but I think if we're to get serious about formalising mathematics, it would be better to aim to have fully formalised statements of major theorems rather than their proofs for now.
