> My doctors have suggested that it's "in my head" or "stress related illness" and I'm completely open to that idea

I think the biggest misconception is that when doctors tell you that it's all in your head. The pain is real, as real as the pain you get during a leg cramp and it's caused by the ANS (autonomic nervous system) because of a mild oxygen deprivation (about 5%).

It is harmless and completely reversible but that does not mean it's not there. It's very real. This is a very important thing to understand explained in the book.

Seconding the recommendation, it's a great read, well worth the time if you're into biotech and sci-fi in general.

I thank whoever it was that recommended this book to me some years ago, here on HN. Also, if anyone knows of other books like these, please share!

I came across this while looking to see if I could buy a 4k display for my 12" Macbook (2nd gen.). My brief reading of it implied that it would be possible to drive it at 60hz. but maybe you are correct.
Banks that make errors in customer favor go out of business.
In India, we have Flipkart which is bigger than Amazon. I recently went back to using it and realized that their UX is so much cleaner and better looking than Amazon. Images are uniform, the text is well formatted, the colors aren't just a jumble of grays and the odd orange
I wouldn’t rule out 2. It works quite well, the dual alignment method is used in the research setting for human tumours grown in mice for example. Of course, a very motivated adversary would work this out, but you could use more unusual organisms if you have a reference genome for them.

The problem with 1 is that there may be significant downsides to misidentifying your genome eg you swapped with someone who commits a crime.
I didn't dive into the data. I provided it to researchers, along with my medical records, as part of Harvard's Personal Genome Project.
That solves basic health insurance, but doesn't help with mortgage or even car insurance, where I'd expect DNA to become an influencing factor too.
This does disalign goals of the user (get stuff done) and service provider (more money if someone fails as long as he is successful enough not to churn) though
That is what makes Oracles cloud play such a mystery. They had a huge asset in a loyal corps of Oracle DBAs embedded in every large organisation on the planet. Now they are saying “fire those guys and we’ll host your databases”. But maybe those guys will say “nah, Postgres is actually all we need, see ya”.
I wasn't aware that they had 5g offerings but if they do they are obviously choices too. I'm not aware of any American 5g offerings.
Pretty much every math textbook I've read has defined the notational conventions early on.

(I'm not saying this is the case with every math text, just the ones I've read that are intended to teach the reader the subject.)

I see all these comments about reading papers with confusion and I get the impression that they didn't read the prerequisite information from textbooks for whom they're the right audience as that's generally how you pick up notation.
On Firefox at least, I can concur and say it does choke more or less randomly.

It's like personal trainers. You made an obligation to someone else to show up at 7am at the gym 3 times a week, and that alone is enough to make you go to the gym consistently.

> I find it interesting how a lot of folk and religious stories about supernatural sound like memories of civilization with technology comparable to ours.

I think about this a lot. It has led me to see that level of technology doesn't always linearly increase. At times there appear to have been great regressions proceeding from times of incredible technology. An easy example for my mind are the pyramids in Egypt, or the countless and nauseatinly intricate temples of India. I feel like there have existed technologies that we haven't yet been able to detect or understand.

I'm a fairly senior mobile/web dev (12 years full time, part time and hobbyist before) and the best part of my job is mentoring the juniors! I push hard for hiring people who are hungry and fun to work with, and it's paid my company dividends. You can spend a few months training a junior or a twice the time hiring a senior, and the juniors always bring good energy and open minds. It's not for every company but I have enjoyed it immensely.
that would be 35% of referral traffic, which is approximately 50% of total traffic? https://www.recode.net/2018/2/15/17013618/google-facebook-tr...

It's straightforward in a conceptual sense, but as with most things there are a ton of gotchas and fiddly implementation details, especially if you're doing it in your kitchen/garage. A lot of the difficulty comes with the tedium of maintaining sterile conditions and lots and lots of pipetting.

If you're really interested in DIYBIO there are subreddits and many tuts out there, but fair warning: getting started is easy, but the devil is in the details a heck of a lot more than learning to code.

Dunno. In fact I hope this celebration of naked consumerism, where the wolfs of marketing feast on our hacked feeble minds, passes by on developer markets. Probably will not, as there is a good buck to be made.
No, not like that at all. Old Assyrian = Akkadian, New Assyrian = Aramaic.

A closer analogy would've been "Arabic to Egyptian", or "Macedonian-Slavic to Ancient Macedonian", as in it's the same language family, but a very different language. In other words, Aramaic did not evolve from Akkadian, it replaced it.
uh That seems odd, right? Thats the url of this whole page. Please don't post like this again. :-)
Why is enterprise software so ugly?
It is interesting to see that it is apparently viable - enough to not be a novelty/joke. Given materials one upgrade a stationary bicycle generator to use superconductors. Unless it became both much cheaper and much higher temperature there would be basically no reason to do so but you could. Megawatt Turbines should certainly be able to sustain it but I wonder how the math works out in terms of both performance and balance sheets.
I’m surprised there is not a clear winner. Are the proof systems so different that one cannot “embed” a proof from one system into another easily?
Pretty doesn’t necessarily mean effective at converting. I think Amazon’s team is perfectly competent at testing whether one design makes more money than another — and I think they’re competent enough to go with the one that makes more money.
I really liked the idea of going to the Air because I want a lightweight laptop, and was willing to sacrifice some of the power.

But it's not actually very much lighter that the current 13" Pro, there's only about 100g in it. It's only a few bucks lighter on the wallet too.

The only way to get a truly light Mac is to get the just-plain Macbook, but that has no thunderbolt so it's a no-go.

I don't want to look at other brands for a work machine, but I am starting to, because some are now offering true quad-core i7's in a package about the weight of the Macbook.

Ramayana predates Mahabharata. I think that's what you meant.

But even Wikipedia estimates that Gilgamesh himself lived between 2500 BC and 2000 BC. The authentic date of an existing record of the Gilgamesh epic is only from 700 BC. The Mahabharata on the other hand, is from at least 5000 BC. The Ramayana is even older, from 7000 BC.

Factories can support redundancy too, can’t they? It means higher cost. But technology costs go down over time while labor costs typically go up in a given country.

Tesla tried to automate too much too soon but it appears Sewbots are quite ready to be deployed and their capabilities and reliability will likely improve in the future.

Yet one more reason why GDPR-style legislation is a global requirement. Yes, there will be growing pains, but the current hidden costs aren’t worth it.
I agree on the variable engineering quality; something endemic to any company with more than 1 engineer. It would also be important to consider a well placed bribe or spy could maliciously change code at multiple points in the process.

Largely the allegations against Huawei could be leveled against any company, thus it feels like a competitor has hired enough lobbyist firms in DC to create the FUD necessary to sanction specifically Huawei.

The US actually passed federal legislation a decade ago that prohibits insurance discrimination on the basis of genetic information.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscr...

As I recall from purchasing health insurance in Germany (mandated, and the public option wasn’t available to me as a freelancer), there was price discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, which is currently illegal in the US. The monthly cost was capped at over 600€ Basispreis per individual (this was a couple of years ago), and if you hadn’t visited a hospital for a couple of years and were a healthy man in your 30s and chose to conceal any persitant issues you had been diagnosed with, you could find an offering for closer to 200€. The determination of how pre-existing conditions would affect the price was completely arbitrary and unreasonable, and a significant deterrent to seeking timely care. I’m not aware whether you could choose to not disclose genetic conditions and have your insurance be valid.
Even though I'm an atheist, the more I see this kind of shit, the more I see wisdom in traditional religious values.

Thousand years ago they (the people that "created" religions) already knew that humanity left to it's own wouldn't grow in a positive way.

- "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" which is a bunch of guys sitting suspended in the air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QCYDzsQ_yM

Not sure why those particular two, but I'm almost surprised if I don't see one of them in one of those types of shops.
Whoops, that was a bug at our end. Sorry!
Cognitive decline is the main one that concerned me. You don't run an organ hot for years without doing some damage, and anyone who says otherwise is selling a dream.
Kind of random and OT, but I remember a long time ago thinking about the safety of staircases. I was in a mall and on the top floor there was a movie theatre. To get to the movie theatre, there was a staircase which bridged the 4th and 5th floor. The staircase was literally a bridge that spanned over a central atrium. It wasn't suspended or supported by anything -- it only stayed up due to the rigidity of the structure. The movie theatre didn't like people crowding the lobby, so they had the queue go down the staircase. I remember thinking, "I wonder if the architects/engineers considered the possibility that there would be 3 people standing on every single step of this staircase". As far as I could tell there was no indication of what kind of load it could take. It never broke, so I guess they did think of it, but I never wen to that theatre. Waiting on that staircase was waaay too scary for me :-)
This reminds me of an undergrad assignment I had when taking real time C programming. We were each given a programmable lift controller that looked very lego-ish. We were meant to write a multi threaded C program to react in real time to button presses etc to control the lift. I finished and tested every scenario i could think of - it worked great. Was feeling pretty proud of myself.

The professor gets to my table, presses a few buttons and everything works fine. He nods to himself. Then he starts yanking wires out and the lift kept going. He looks at me, shakes his head and says “safety”. I forgot to make the lift stop if anything unexpected happened :)

Thank goodness there was a safety system on this lift, even if it had to fall 84 floors for it to kick in.
That’s a bit uncharitable.

I found out about IKEA’s Democratic Design Day through My Mini Factory.

It’s probably not a unique philosophy. But I like the idea that good quality design should be available to everybody.

It’s probably a tough gig trying to design an item starting with the cost first. But I think they have largely succeeded.

so it all comes down to which company was first in the market (AWS) and which company has got the best and most aggressive sales-people (MS).

That is not it at all. What typically happens is an organisation will run a pilot project and see how it goes. On Azure it’s easy to speak to a real person, and they will be knowledgeable and take you seriously, and be empowered and willing to help you. On Google even if you manage to speak to anyone, they’ll treat you like an idiot. Guess who that organisation is going to go to for bigger and bigger projects?

While I don’t agree with @comesee, I don’t see his comments are offensive/vulgar language. Even the parent comment states very short and simple fact:

> dang called me a troll after I simply asked him exactly what it was about my comment that warranted it being removed.

Why do you think this tiny little comment worthy of immediate massive downvotes so that no one even can upvote it any more?

Is it your expectation that people commenting here must submit themselves to popular opinion? Is diverging from group think or disagreeing with mods punishable by immediate shadow banning?
that seems like the google way of building product. you test all these micro changes but miss out on the macro changes the site actually needs, which doesn't really work out. no one can argue that amazon has good ux. from product to product and day to day the website layout changes. each product site has just a ton of data thrown up on it. it has horrible tracking of product purchases. for example, if looking at a paperback book, it gives no indication that you may have purchased the hardcover. it has terrible management of books that may have multiple editions. buying older books takes some time because they'll often have multiple pages for the exact same book. pre-ordering is a mess. i have been sent two video games before because i pre-ordered a game super early which then apparently got a new product page. i thought i had never pre-ordered it some time later and amazon didn't mention it, so i ordered it again since it gave no indication i had ordered that exact product. the search is not great either. comparing products is non-existent. just cycling through various options like color can be a chore just to see a different price.

just because they have a process doesn't mean it works. but yea, like someone said, i guess the general user doesn't care. i know it has lessened my use of the site.
When they say "Huawei kit is backdoored by the PRC" the implicit message is "but probably not us."

For some audiences, there's definitely a case to be made for "well, every officer in the PRC government from a truancy-officer on up can read your email, but the FBI (or any local LEO who can construct some flimsy National Security premise t them) can't."
Some people speak quietly, and use words that do not convey exactly what they are feeling. TK is very good at speaking at an amply audible level and using very efficient words (often no more than 4 letters long)

Google cloud is the prime example of this. The European public sector is spending billions on Clouds these years, and none of that is going to Google, because Google doesn’t protect your data the same way Microsoft does.

What does Microsoft do that other cloud providers like Google do not do? If I store my data in GCP region europe-west3 (Frankfurt) are you saying that Google will leak that data to some third party or send it out of that region?

Maybe the NSA still listens in, maybe China does too, but it’s not legal for them to do so the way it would be in the Alibaba or google clouds.

Imo the primary appeal of handwriting vs keyboards is the freedom of non-line-based editing; that is, you can draw a vertical line just as easily as you can write a word.

This is entirely lost in a system that simply takes handwritten text and converts it to characters (its more difficult, and slower, than a keyboard), so it makes sense this system would be unpleasant to use. But even if it worked well, it’d be worthless for writing current programming languages, as they’re inherently line-based, and optimized for keyboard input. Theres nothing to be gained from vertical lines in your C codebase.

A visual programming language might see better use, but the main issue there is that the visual part of it is the relationships: in a sane codebase, this is relatively rare to edit to any significant degree. You’re primarily editing values (a keyboard-appropriate task), and the the visualization is used for reading; rarely, its useful for editing (where a pen might be more convenient, but its competition is the mouse, and I’m not sure it does any better [if not worse])

So it makes sense that writing/editing code with handwriting will be non-compelling: its clearly worse than the keyboard in all cases I can think of.

But notes, documentation, and by accident of qwerty keyboards, arbitrary symbols (eg greek) is another story. Where arbitrary drawings are first-class citizens along with text, and the computerized benefit is automatic cleanup (straighter lines, handwriting to text) ala onenote, though its conversion is lacking (I can never get it to parse things “perfectly”).

But code? It shouldn’t be compelling. Pens are simply worse at the task.
I'm now roughly one year into my experiment to not use the index. I made some aliases to do that. My conclusion is: The index is unnecessary complexity. Amend to commits instead.

My aliases do not work cleanly, so I don't want to advertise them. Still, a git wrapper which removes the index would be an improvement.

By the way, can we still call it "porcelain" or is that outdated?
