No idea why I'm often unable to breath through my nose, it's clogged. I have a history of chronic rhinitis. Even when I blow my nose and remove what's in it, it seems the inside of my sinus is completely swollen. I already have done allergy tests, without results. No idea if it's a result of hygiene, or some chemical that it's a soap or food, acarians, some fungi, or else.

I've read that a deviated septum is a common problem.

The worst thing is that breathing through the mouth can also make dental problem worse.

Not to mention I'm completely unable to breath in only using my nose when running. Not sure if it's normal.

What is certain is that I grew up in the center of a large city as a kid, and it might have done some damage to my respiratory system.

Thank you, I will read this
No but evangelism is (nowadays)
Do you know of any good literature on LM or trust region? I'm interested in the details.
I think this is their argument ultimately:

Apple has seized upon a 1977 Supreme Court ruling that limited damages for anti-competitive conduct to those directly overcharged instead of indirect victims who paid an overcharge passed on by others. Part of the concern, the court said in that case, was to free judges from having to make complex calculations of damages.

I'm no lawyer either but that seems to generally be true of this case in that users shouldn't be the ones bringing cases but developers could by my read. But whatever we'll see what the court decides.
it’s a casual article and as such, it has enough detail. if you want more, follow the link to the study provided in the article.

even if there are mitigations in products that you buy, the study is quite meaningful. it proves (eg) the need for such mitigations.
Gephi and Cytoscape (https://cytoscape.org/) are both open-source Java-based network analysis and visualization software.

Cytoscape.js is a graph theory and network visualization Javascript library. It can be compared to SigmaJS (http://sigmajs.org/) or the more generic D3 data visualization toolkit (https://d3js.org/).
Hilarious, but unfortunately, incidents like these are used to "prove" how incompetent and useless these technologies are, all the while pushing forward their use.
Technical details seem to matter though. Using the definition of "paying taxes" that TC seems to be using, you could have always paid your taxes using, for example, magic the gathering trading cards. You just need to find somebody that will buy them from you for USD first. I wonder why one of those made the headlines now and the other one didn't...
Dictatorships have fallen because formerly loyal police officers stopped being loyal. It's unlikely that kind of personal evolution will happen with a machine.
Nice project, enjoyed a quick game!

Heads up, when I clicked quit, it redirected me to localhost:3000, might not be the intended behavior?
This is something ordinary people who haven’t run afoul of the justice system cannot understand. It must be witnessed first hand to be comprehended.

The justice system is a big boulder at the top of a mountain. Once an arrest or accusation sets in it motion, unless you are powerful and or wealthy, it will do what boulders do, it can do no different. It is not cognizant, it just is.

It takes immense resources to stop or avoid this boulder. Resources far exceeding even the well-to-do often times.

The system is there to win cases and incarcerate and my god does it do just that.

Innocent or not, the system moves humans.

Do not pray the jury hears your side, pray you never get so much as accused. Look up the conviction rates for district attorneys across the country. You tell me, does that look justice?
You're able occasionally to forget? Lucky you!

What do you mean by detoxing before doing that type of pranayama ?
A great many famines in the 1900s were caused by war, unrest and "political stuff" (including forced relocation and creation of work camps / collective farms / prison farms, whatever you want to call them). There were some famines directly related to drought, but they look relatively minor compared to the ones with obvious human agency.
There are exceptions though, where the domain model is trivial, but you will be mystified without the sequence diagrams. Paxos for example has a trivial domain model (a value that's supposed to be kept identical on all nodes in a distributed system) but the consensus algorithm is non-trivial enough that a lot of people claim you should not even try to implement it (and opt for Raft)
"Escalation" implies the first decision is automated; I was suggesting more of a process where the "fact finding" is automated, but the decision is still manual.

That said, even the system you're describing and with a 100% escalation rate should be cheaper than a fully manual process. The problem is that those "well meaning" companies aren't; their goal is to minimize cost, stopping only if it drops their revenue. But no system will be good with such goals.
I think to some degree you have to accept the disposable nature of consulting. If you want to be responsible for satisfaction years down the road, you could do a product-consulting hybrid, where you do quite a lot of customer-specific dev upfront but as part of a bigger product.

Otherwise you really need to make sure the customer cares about it as much as you do. And many simply don't.
I figured this was written by someone working on or for supermemo, but it turns out it's not!

The author details his journey from using Anki for 5+ years to switching to supermemo: https://masterhowtolearn.wordpress.com/2018/10/28/why-i-swit...
People have been predicting this for 50 years. It turns out it's a really hard problem - I'm comfortable saying it's still much more than ten years away. We could possibly get fusion power before we get this the way things are going.
I use TransferWise Borderless to collect payments in USD/EUR/AUD/SGD. They give you routing details for a local bank account created in your name. You can hold cash in the original currency, centralized it to one currency, or send it all back home. I have moved significant sums over the last two years without a single issue. Recommended.
Using your own VPS isn't helpful for privacy because it can be traced back to you after the fact, while a paid VPN that doesn't log cannot
If you converted Bitcoin to cash to pay your taxes (which is how Ohio's service actually works) and that resulted in a capital gain (you originally paid less for that Bitcoin than it's worth today), then you'd need to pay taxes on that capital gain.

This is no different than selling any other asset (stocks, a house, etc.) to get cash to pay your taxes.

Better yet you could wait until the kids are mature enough, watch the content, and then discuss it with them.
What kind of opportunities? To pay their taxes with stolen Bitcoins? It wouldn't be hard to trace it back to them :-)
I believe the phenomenon you're talking about is called "Peter principle" [1], which states that "people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their level of incompetence. In other words, an employee is promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent".

This is a bit cliched but does anyone think there should be a set of end of year predictions made/voted on by everyone on HN ?

It would certainly be a bit more interesting and informed than the average celebrity blogger predictions that we are usually subjected to.
>As an aside, I use Striesand - https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand - to create my own VPN. I generally create a new one every week or so with a simple script and I tend to rotate hosting providers fairly regularly. It's definitely not completely secure, but it's very fast, very cheap and works well for all my devices.

Interesting. I'd be interested in hearing more about how you did that. Algo seems to require a human in the loop to generate and insert an API token.
You don’t think we already have the answer to that?
It's nuts. And it's true. Link to previous thread on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15890551

I found a github repo with the code once but I don't seem to have saved it. I'm sure it's on here somewhere though.
Can you give me an example of such a dictatorship?
You ask for prediction, not wishes. So here goes:

We will have a major recession, much bigger impact than the previous one. This will curtail development. It’s possible climate effects will continue to become more severe. This could lead to human displacement in heavily populated Asian coastal towns. Will be compounded due to the recession.

Left wing and right wing polarization will grow and be compounded due to the above points. I don’t think there will be civil wars, but could be a tough situation in some parts of the world, especially Europe.

Technologically? I don’t think fully self driving cars will be a thing in 10 years. We could see regulations passed regarding social media companies. It could curtail the growth of a Facebook disruptor. We could see some changes in the financial industry due to the recession. But that still won’t change much for the industry.

What I wish:

Self driving cars. A Facebook disruptor. Mainstream crypto currency.
Ironically, the better the AI, the worse this problem is going to get. The error rate will never be zero, but the closer it gets to zero, the more the AI's judgement will be presumed to be correct by the legal system. So if you happen to be one of those unlucky souls who draws the false-positive card in an era where those are rare, you could be totally hosed.
Yes, WASD is great if you have a QWERTY keyword, not really if you have anything else.
> America exploded into hyperinflation for a decade.

This is just not true.

Hyperinflation is when the monthly inflation rate exceeds 50% (economist definition) or 100% by year (International Accounting Standards Board).

Just look at the wide fluctuations of prices during gold standard and you realize that it's bad idea. Gold standard is technically somewhat similar to using foreign currency. The economy is at the mercy of the outside forces.
Those approaches aren't mutually exclusive. You can easily learn theorems and math concepts using Anki and then apply them in practice.

You can learn words in foreign language using SRS and then use those words in conversations, when reading, watching a movie, etc.

I don't see any value in the purist approach your propose.

Also:

> So when we use this sort of spaced repetition we're trying to artificially "warm up" the cache in our brains.

No idea what this means. It is no more artificial than actively seeking out people to talk to just because you want to learn a new language, or forcing yourself to prove theorems just to better remember a mathematical concept.
For Windows. That should be part of the title.
I bet your future employer would be very interested in seeing your Uber rating before they hire you, so if a company decided to sell that information it could get very close to what China intends to do.
> Why do you trust the VPN more than you trust Tor?

Why not both? Why does my ISP need to know when I use Tor?
The author’s characterization of open offices as a perk is all you need to know about their competence and credibility.
This system seems dumber and simpler than I had imagined it would be. I had guessed the face recognition system would be linked to each citizen's cellphone (i.e. GPS coordinates). How else could it be so certain of any given person's identity, in densely and highly populated areas?
It doesn't make it a good theory that you can come up with an even more ridiculous theory. It is not even clear if any of the events of the Iliad are historical beyond there probably was some kind of war. You can explain Gods talking to Achilles with this theory...but can you explain Achilles literally fighting a river-God and winning? Even if this is based on historical events, the Homeric epics are centuries removed. And the Iliad is even fairly realistic compared to the Odyssee.
I'm working in automotive. The usual chain seems to be requirements engineer, system architect, software architect, software developer, integration engineer, tester.
Heres further proof the justice system is screwed. Yesterday I was stopped while driving for not having current tags. Registration was renewed but I didn't have the sticker yet. Cop looked at my paperwork said all good be back in 5.

Come to find out, I haven't had a valid license in 5 years.

There was a mistake in court 5 years ago when I paid a fine (speeding ticket). I have a receipt from court saying all settled/money received but court says they never got money.

So, after talking to a lawyer yesterday I will be paying another $250 for lawyer fees + court costs to get out of the mistake made by the court in another state 5 years ago.

I am lucky. I can pay that. It sucks but some people would be out food money if they suddenly had to pay $500 to drive again.

But, I did nothing wrong (except for speeding 6 years ago which I paid the fine and haven't had any issues since) and am stuck paying for the courts mistake.
This sounds like a lot of people's experiences with Equifax and Transunion. They make a mistake and it can take you a decade and a lot of money and effort to clear your name.
I don’t know how to compare the US justice system to Google support, but the former is already notoriously difficult, expensive, inefficient, and inaccessible to large groups of people.
Another way to look at it is that an organization that is willing to automate everything for the sake of efficiency/profit is probably not too interested in "adding a lot more quality human support to compensate for that extreme automation".

Chances are it wants to automate 100% (or at least 99.99%) of it jobs and will strive to achieve that, while considering any human cost as "friction" or inefficiency that needs to be eliminated.
This is probably super rambly. I chalk it up to new parent sleep dep and make no apologies for it.

What if trauma is simply a response to discomfort we don't learn to accept and grow through?

It stands to reason that if it's a common issue and situation, not learning from it could compound over time.

I consider this to be "trauma," though I take a more expansive and meaningful take on trauma, in that I consider, for example, the lack of initiating into capitalism and the overwhelming difficulty of living a life outside of a capitalist society to be traumatic because it can keep us from meeting our need for autonomy.

In that sense, I may be considering trauma to be a chronic denial of some need (needs being defined as the minimal set of things required to thrive). Without a clear awareness of needs, then, it becomes easy to deny trauma.

I also consider codependency (which has also been said to be too broad to be meaningful) to be a form of trauma, in that it's a chronic denial of the need for interdependency.

Personally, I think expanding a term to include everyone gives everyone an opportunity to more deeply self-examine and connect with others. I find it to be a way to bring more meaning in, not less. If you judge an expansive definition as meaningless, that doesn't actually make it true for others. It'll simply be true for whoever chooses to believe it. The issue, I think, is everyone really wants to hear very specific and targeted descriptions before accepting some diagnosis. I've seen it in friends suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or addiction: until they hear someone with a story really similar to theirs, they won't allow themselves to connect. I view this as one of the reasons black-and-white thinking is so difficult to heal through/from.
Basically the Black Mirror “Nosedive” episode.
Humans are a differentiation machine, they follow along known branches until they break into something new. There they can create a new branch where they might be first or one of a few new minds in that area, in that case, 'winging it' may be employed but it is also based on experience in what to do with unknowns.

With any production/consumer scenario it is usually 1 to 1000 or more ratio. Most people aren't making new territory all the time, even inventors or creators. The fact is most of human existence is observing, studying, thinking, following, viewing existing knowledge while very few interact or create new production or are producing at one time on one subject or concentration, we are usually part of the 1000, though we all are the 1s for something.

All of that preparation prepares you for the moment where you meet new ground that must be entered and conquered. So new areas, even for the most experienced, are essentially 'winging it' uncharted territory until it becomes a solid branch of growth in the individual or industry/area of expertise. It is a bit like practice, which is a series of sketches until the time you have to use that skill in production where the refined lines, inking and color are put together, the art of progression/innovation comes together for production.

Then comes the 'here we go' and 'let's do this' moment where even experienced and skilled professionals take flight with the butterflies in their stomach of nervousness and excitement to conquer unknowns in uncharted territory with their pack of experience and knowledge, the experience/book smarts meet the reality/street, the adventure begins.
Honestly I don't have much sympathy. People have gotten the airline system they've asked for by basing their purchasing decisions solely on price. The natural end result is that things that were previously included in that airfare get removed and because paid extras in this race to the bottom.

Personally I don't even book an airfare where I can't pick my seats as part of the booking process.

Now if the EU wants to create a passenger bill of rights of sorts that disallows this and other practices (eg charging for checked bags) then fine. But know that those charges will just go back to being included in the ticket (ie higher fares).
Great perspective. My takeaway is that people today are still overall undereducated. Business skills and corporate strategy should be taught earlier, at the highschool levels, instead of requiring a dedicated MBA.
Yes, that's a good article and has more detail than either the submitted url (https://www.businessinsider.com/scammers-edit-google-maps-ba...) or the one it points to https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/a-new-bank-scam..., so we've switched to it above.

> The ASCII art diagram is the only format that can be integrated flawlessly into any email or documentation.

Certain email viewers like to ... "re-format" even fixed-width plain text and thus mis-render even ASCII art (looking at you, Outlook). Of course, every time I've received such reports, I've been able to brush the problem aside by simply asking people to use a different email viewer, or view the docs in a browser proper.
I'm not sure about that, how many methods does the JButton class have?

I mean, I understand that Cuomo used it as an attack-the-messenger sort of thing.

But just because the corporate owners do the same thing doesn't mean it's not a valid criticism.
Monzo is great, but it's easy for them with their use-case. How do you pay in cash? How do you order foreign currency?

I'm glad somebody is eating UK banks' lunches though, since they're universally awful.
The fact that conversion is done at time-of-payment is clear, yes. But as you say, you're assuming that shifts in price are being factored in (the implication seems to be "by BitPay"). I'm curious if that's actually the case.
Sam Harris recently released a podcast episode titled Addiction, Depression, and a Meaningful Life that goes exactly in this topic. I found it to be one of his best episodes, and I am sure you will find it useful too. Link here:

https://samharris.org/podcasts/142-addiction-depression-mean...

Also, the connection between responsibility and a meaningful life is one of the recurring themes of Jordan Peterson's work, a message which is sadly lacking in the modern culture. No wonder he has gotten so popular so fast.

Commercial Building - yep.

Factory, Bridge or Infrastructure - you're insane if you don't.

Just like in construction, it depends on what you are building/expanding.

It’s a stretch but urban farms: malls will be turned into farms. The produce will be on racks so you might have 20 layers. Right now like half of all produce spoils. This way you can also deliver fresh produce the day it will be consumed. You can deliver the perfect combination of water and nutrients for plant growth. No pests, transportation, weather damage etc. it’s gonna be big.
Your warning is noble, but I read comments to decide whether the topic is useful. I found the negative comments convincing, so I don't mind questioning the topic further.

Self-awarenes was worked out with "I know that I don't know" and again, but in positive terms with "I think therefore I am". These are the most basic forms of reflection, a y-combinator differentiating endlessly. With literarry writing, this reflection could be stretched out over generations, yielding a national identity, but oral transmission of religious teachings had been practiced before, just with a higher rate of mutation. Such verbalization is important for stability, and similarity is important for discoverability, but if verbalization hadn't happened, the perhaps because it goes without saying.

PS: A single threaded cpu doesn't need to spell out distributed computing primitives, either. It still may use signals, in many cases, even if implemented completely in software.

PPS: maybe there's an interesting parallel from natural language to the progression from imperative language over object oriented or declarative, to agent based programming. Bicameral Petri Nets ...

Not my experience at all. I spent a lot of time in the 80s standing in bank lines with my mom for her to do things that anyone now does with an ATM or a banking app much much more quickly. And as an added benefit, when I do need to interact with an actual human at my bank, the lines are much shorter and the whole thing is just more efficient and far less aggravating.
I can't either. I've always thought it was due to allergens but I really don't have evidence to support that. I've never seen a doctor for it.
If you're big enough, Google provides excellent support. I was once responsible for a product that generated $30k/month in adsense revenue. It got banned due to adult content and my attempts to clean everything up weren't entirely successful. I ended up on chat with someone from adsense and they essentially held my hand for an hour as we found and removed every bit of porn in the product.
