Not sure why you were down voted as you make a very good point, at least in the UK that is very much the case. You can find organic food restaurants if you look hard, but almost all high street brands have very limited or no organic food - even brands that advertise themselves as healthy such as Pret or EAT.

There are two ends to the true picture here - they do exist to protect and maintain the status quo as you say, but the underpinning (largely unspoken) assumption is that the general public, as the GP hopes, are among the set of 'those that benefit', on the basis that the continued existence and flourishing of the state is beneficial to the public.

That's the theory. In practice, of course, the truth has been weighted more to one side or the other at different times and in different places.
I was talking from the silicon valley perspective. You need to adjust it based on the country you live in.

I understand you, I have been a student and believe me I lived for few dollars a day (that too in a comfy way) including accommodation and food. When I started a job in 2004, making 200k USD was my dream retirement amount. Now I don't call it would be comfortable with even $10 mn and never having to work again. I would definitely keep working as long as I can even with $10 mn in my bank. It's not that I am greedy and have to constantly go for vacations or stay in 5* places. When you have a partner and kids, you really need to spend that much money to live in the social status that you ends up in your society. Home mortgage, kids school fees, dress, food, family outings and it could easily add up. You are talking about in the range of 10k-200k per year depending on the country/city you live in. In expensive cities where you need 100-200k to live comfortably, $1mn will last you only a few years even with good return on investments adjusted against inflation. It's very unfortunate but it's true. You too shall see that day when you grow up.

@mlthoughts2018
do you find that other aspects of your work pattern, and preferenceses are significantly different than of peers working on the same projects?

For example, do you think you use more of open source/3rd party libraries than your peers on the same project?

Do you find that many facilities in modern OS or languages are overly bloated, in your view?

What about project management methodologies -- do you have a preference?

Reason I am asking, is because your comment just does not correspond to my experience at all.

By now I cannot program without code completion, especially in the languages like JavaScript that do not have strong compile time verification.

It is also tremendously helpful for me in other languages I use, it helps me not just with my code, but reduces time of looking up basic API documentation for a new library that I recently incorporated.

I also often see that there is a duplicate function (even just from the names of functions, between my code and some library that I included in my project). So it helps me make quick decisions were I should remove code duplication.

So I am wondering if your perception is a result of a larger set of experiences/circumstances/choices that I did not take into account.
This doesn't affect chess and go however ...

Hackers exploit Adobe Flash zero-day vulnerability to hijack Windows computers
It's hard to square that with the fact that the wealthiest societies are also the most free, the most liberal, that capitalism has lifted a billion people out of poverty over the last half century.

If money was a poison, the west should be dying. Instead living in rich societies has isolated us from the realities of life in the underdeveloped world, and from our own past of just a few generations, that 'first world problem' has become a persistent joke.

Money can be toxic. Look at the awful social and political problems so many petro-states suffer from. Productive work is the great cleanser though. My wife is Chinese and grew up in a hut with no running water heated by a stove. Since I started visiting her hometown in 2001 it's been transformed beyond recognition, and not by a poison.
Ask HN: Linux users; What productivity software do you use?
E.g. note taking, cloud providers etc. As a lot of good software is not available on Linux.
Some 2000 years ago this was already the case.

I don’t agree with this at all, having boxed (and sparred) for a while. Getting punched in the face hurts a bit, and that’s about it.
I'll give you the same advice everyone else is, but word it slightly differently, because thinking this way really helped me: Be OK in your own vulnerability.

'Toughness' implies some sort of everything-proof shield that you expose to different stimulus to gain 'immunity' from it. I've seen advice that follows this line of thought: eg you quit bathing for a week and become 'immune' to some specific social judgements, you go to some extreme sport to be 'immune' from the fear associated with it, etc.

The problem with the above is it starts feeding into this weird 'detached, tough guy' persona that cracks as soon as you realize something has gotten to you. You think "oh no, this thing isn't one of the many things I'm immune from!" and will try to counter it with some sort of extreme, tough-guy exposure. Until the next thing gets to you. Etc.

Rather than doing that, you should realize what creates the toughness in the first place: it's being vulnerable (physically, emotionally, intellectually, etc.) and realizing it's an OK state to be in. Even if you're in a vulnerable state, you've "got it", you'll make it out of it, it's not the end of the world, etc.

Now, you can practice this by putting yourself into vulnerable states and showing yourself that you survive them (but you have to remember to let yourself generalize so you don't get stuck in the 'tough guy' mentality I described above) OR you can explore the concept of vulnerability in general and learn to be OK with it. I recommend the latter :)

To that end, I really liked "the gifts of imperfection".
SE and Q do different jobs.

Q is better at "soft" knowledge - psychology, personal history, experience, opinion.

SE is better for "hard" knowledge - clearly-defined problems with specific solutions.

Having said that, I find SE very, very frustrating.

Given any problem, the answers invariably seem to include multiple takes with distracting or irrelevant side points; show-boating comments, often nit-picky, about very minor issues; just plain wrong answers that have been massively upvoted; no account of chronology - later answers always have fewer votes than older answers, even if they're better solutions; moderator show-boating with questions closed for no good reason (e.g. when dupes aren't really dupes.)

SE's problem is that accretion wins over refinement. IMO it should have been more like a Wiki, with a much clearer distinction between content - i.e. stock answers, with comments - and debate about content.

I enjoy my Quora feed, but I treat it more as entertainment. I wouldn't use it for anything mission critical. I actually agree with Q and not the WB comments - comments about private experiences or opinions are the property of the authors, not communal property, and authors should have the right to withdraw them.

Also - FB isn't archived either. Do the WB people have the same negative attitude to FB groups?

As for SE - sometimes I try to use SE for mission critical problems. Usually I get a few hints from the answers, then end up having to solve the problem independently.
Perhaps it's the subject matter that has driven the site design towards a paler pastel colour palette, but I find it quite pleasing to the eye.

Although I do wonder about accessibility. Some of the lighter colours don't pass WCAG recommendations for contrast. But it's rare to find a website outside of gov.uk that even comes close.
The two papers discuss some of the same cases.

In particular your paper discusses the "Tadpole" program developed by Rajib Karim to communicate with Al-Awlaki, albeit it doesn't refer to it by that name. It's interesting to see how there are different spins on the same event.

http://privacy-pc.com/articles/how-terrorists-encrypt-7-pecu...

Both papers point out that: Police described his use of encryption as “the most sophisticated they had seen in a British terrorist case.”

In the talk by Campbell, Tadpole is described as amateur hour. It's literally a Caeser cipher implemented using Microsoft Excel, with the results copied into password protected Word documents. Campbell observes that even a very rudimentary intelligence agency would be easily able to break this code without access to any of the underlying materials ... in fact, the technique for breaking such a cipher was first described by an Arabic mathematician over a millenium ago. This was used in preference to the "Asrar" PGP GUI that was circulating amongst jihadis, because it wasn't clear to Karim that Asrar was really trustworthy. Was it an NSA plant? This problem crops up all the time with jihadis trying to use strong encryption: they can't implement it themselves, they don't trust western apps and struggle to verify the origins of programs claiming to be written by fellow jihadis.

Overall Campbell treats Tadpole as a joke: a textbook study in why terrorists+encryption are not anything worth worrying about.

In the West Point paper you link to, the same program is described in quite different terms. It's described as an "intricate system", an "unorthodox and complex technique based on cipher codes and passwords stored on Excel spreadsheets" that produced "end to end encryption". It says "Western intelligence agencies were not able, as far as is known, to intercept any of his communications in real time". The West Point author appears to be under the impression that the only mistake Karim made was not wiping his laptop in time, which allowed police to access the underlying spreadsheets he was using.

This is a fascinating study in how the capabilities of terrorists are sometimes exaggerated to build the case for all-backdoors-all-the-time. Tadpole wouldn't have stopped a clever teenager with access to some intercepts, let alone an intelligence agency as sophisticated as GCHQ. Yet it is being used as evidence of fundamental shifts that require deep social and policy changes.
I find it's worth cancelling the subscription from time to time since every three months or so I reach the point where I've seen anything worth paying for.

The fact I can do this without any hassle is what I like about Netflix although, I suspect, the cost is low enough that a lot of people don't bother?
I suppose you want mental toughness because you want to achieve some task that requires mental toughness.

So, develop mental toughness by trying to achieve said task.

I just saw her claim to fame and none of her literature I would consider mainstream nor famous. The lot of you are wrong to tell the rest of us what is and isn’t famous. Condescending and thinking yoursef somehow better than one who doesn’t agree with you doesn’t make you a better hacker.

If you do this prepare for a raft of questions / meetings with you asking if you have a job interview or something today. Are you thinking about leaving? Are you sure you're happy here etc etc... :D

Implementation of Linear Regression from Scratch (With Mathematical Explanation)
right, I can't see anything about distinguishing floors and doors. I'm pretty sure there are large amounts of people who need a floor and door added to their identifier in order to - what was it again "receive deliveries, access emergency services, register to vote – and more."
I just assumed all landings (and takeoffs, and taxiing) were captured on video by major airports. Is that not the case?

I think GCHQ's intercept capabilities are pretty well documented in the ANT catalog:

I know for a fact that GCHQ are customers of JUNIORMINT.

> the now-laughable criticisms of dropbox

But was it really?

It certainly wasn't a high-quality comment, it was too negative and arguably mean.

But the "failure" of the comment was merely a failure in correctly evaluating the business value. Something most of us have done many times in our "forum careers". Just think about all those comments that amount to not much more than "if you don't use the command line, you're not worthy of using a computer".

On a technical level it was fine. And remember, Dropbox in this very first stage was a very different beast from today's Dropbox.

The EU has repeatedly stated that it will not allow the Four Freedoms to be weakened or separated; that is, allow (for example) free movement of goods and capital to and from the UK, but not free movement of labor.

From the point of view of certain Brexiters this is a hard line. Though I agree that it isn't really that hard. It's just to continue enforcing what the EU currently is.

EDIT: There is the hard line of the exit bill, though. Although I believe that that has been negotiated down from a humongous sum to a merely enormous one.
Yes, rust is a real problem with those cars but you can protect against it. There are also many body panels (doors, fenders) made out of fiberglass with internal re-inforcement, purists obviously hate these but they deal with the rusty panels problem once and for all. The roof is already fibreglass so at least that won't ever rust even in the originals.

I've never seen a DS Berline made in 75, the one I drove a lot was made Nov '74 and it was the newest that I've seen, my other one was from '68 (officially an ID 19B). There are however a lot of Breaks from '75.

As for the rust problem, the 'good' DSs were all striped down to bare metal, sandblasted and welded up then coated in tectyl or some other rust protector inside and out, an original, unrestored DS in good condition is something I haven't seen in many years. Maybe there are a couple in storage somewhere. Here in NL we still have several DS specialists, most notably Auto Renaissance in Amsterdam. There is also a company that converts Breaks into Decapotables, but that's not really my cup of tea. Though in convertible form it still is the most beautiful car there is to me.

Much good luck with your goddess, if you ever need parts that you can't get let me know and I'll see how warm my contacts in that scene are.

Edit: Amazing, I just checked, the license of my other DS/ID (not the one I took on long trips abroad) is still alive a good 20 years after I last saw the car, but it appears to be taken of the road when I sold it in 1998. DE-70-72 sits in a storage space somewhere. Let's hope one day someone puts it back on the road, I'd be happy to buy it today if I knew who the owner was.

> 1. Lots of LEDs flicker.

No, the diodes don't, the drivers do. You are speaking to a technical audience ;)

> means that they do not emit light in certain frequencies causing objects to look dull/gray. Most LED lamps have a Ra value of 80, meaning that they emit on average in the 80% ...

Hardly. It means that they reproduce a set of 8 or 16 fixed frequencies from the ral pallete. It doesn't cover anything inbetween so it's just a rough rule of thumb. It doesn't cover colors in the far red (or was that violette on the other end of the soecteum?) at all.

Overall, overexposure of some frequencies, arguably to appear brighter and fuller, has damaged musuem pieces--Radiation stress, really. All they can do now is individual tests with photometric instruments, because they can't trust CRI. Same for horticultural lighting, which hasn't really taken of anyway.

Edit: Some manufacturers publish reference curves in the datasheets for their emitters, however I don't know how accurate these are under varying conditions and across batches.
Just in case, Dilbert's view on the matter:

If you only care about making money and see ethical behavior and basic human rights like privacy only as things one talks about, then this is the perfect time for the camel in the sand approach.

The crisis here is not just facebook but the growing realization by the wider world of the scope of betrayal by the tech community. The echo chamber covering up this betrayal is now pierced with increasingly louder external voices that challenge the self serving narratives to justify morally bankrupt behavior.

This will have ramifications that those who are already disengaged from the world have no problem with, but many others will not take this loss of reputation as well. The real crisis seems to be we have large groups of people who are not invested and engaged in their world and see no problem in behaving like mercenaries while affecting normalcy. This kind of behavior is toxic and can only promote an environment of complete distrust, decay and degeneration.
Sure, but I'd be surprised to see a pharmaceutical company profitably competing for talent with FAANG in the race of hiring top ML scientists.

Heard about tea, and used boiled willow ends as rooting hormone (not sure if it worked any better or...) HOWEVER, one needs to be careful as dosage is not know when you mix stuff in your kitchen for human consumption. That scares me.
That's very silly. Between all of the people capable of spying on you, it's exactly your own country that has the most ability to harm you. The Chinese government can't arrest you if you're not in China, but your government can.
Well... At that time some people were witnessing the future as it was invented. The point is that it's now more evenly distributed.

For the general question of pharma investing in structure prediction, I think participants in CASP overestimate the importance of structure. It is nice to have and there certainly are structure-driven projects, but docking is so poor that often computational models of how a molecule binds, even when you have a structure of a protein, are unreliable and there are plenty of case studies of them sending teams in the wrong direction. This would only be worse in the case of AlphaFold since, as the post shows, GDT_HA is still quite poor.

From my experience in research, pharma has found that cellular models and phenotypic assays are far more meaningful for pushing projects forward. So, there is far more interest in applying machine learning to that data than for building protein structures. And those same methods can be applied to target-based projects regardless of whether you have structure. And regardless of how flexible your protein is. Huge portions of structure-based modeling has no ability to deal with protein flexibility, even if you know there are open and closed conformations of the protein or a loop that adopts half a dozen configurations.

Basically, academics working on folding often believe far too much in the importance of structure in drug discovery. The author appears to fall into that category.

I really recommend "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Paul Zeitz, who coached the winning USA team in the International Math Olympiad: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/593458.The_Art_and_Craft...

One of the things he focuses on is repeatedly challenging yourself with problems you don't know how to solve, and to stick with them and keep trying different angles and approaches. Even if you don't make progress, you'll be conditioning yourself to tolerate longer periods spent working the problem without a payoff.

Flicker at high enough frequencies isn't visible directly, but only as phantom array effect with very fast eye movement and high-contrast light. Flicker fusion frequency isn't relevant. I couldn't see 10kHz flicker when I last tested it (with an LED and 555 timer), but I could see 5kHz flicker. The exact threshold will depend on the observer and the test conditions. I find high frequency flicker very annoying because the appearance and disappearance of the phantom array effect looks like unexpected motion to me, and if something is moving unexpectedly then it needs attention.
Not just Australia - the UK too, don't forget.
Go meta. for love, health and existential fears it won't necessarily help, but everything else can't be that important.

trying to take a step back is helpful to find solutions and underlying problems anyways.

for "interpersonal hardening" it helps to understand why others act the way they do (for negative behavior it's usually fear once you dig deep enough)

for myself I approach it slightly different: I don't fight my feelings, even if it needs secretly shedding a tear at home. only after having dealt with the emotions I can again take a step back, analyse causes and consider actions.

and lastly: find someone to talk to. this could even be an anonymous internet friend, if you are not comfortable sharing things with someone close by. they can assure you you are not alone and automatically have a healthy outside perspective.

edit: and I actively avoid unnecessary social stress (toxic people, unhealthy hierarchies or simply the social pressure in some sorts of group work if not worth the pain (playing in a lovely band: yes! half assing a shared side project you are not really on to: no!))
Thank you, I think I understand your point about subjectivity now.
