Google 'average mannequin size'. The average female mannequin is underweight, not overweight. One study did a survey and found that 100% of the female mannequins they examined represented a clinically underweight woman.

Vanity sizing is a thing because female sizing completely arbitrary and stores want to make women feel better about their weight. If anything this is evidence that fat acceptance hasn't caught on--if it had, people wouldn't be ashamed to wear a larger size.

Regardless, I'll say it again--the fact that overweight people exist says nothing about the assertion that many people believe that being overweight is healthy.

Yes you are correct about the supercharged cdn part. I think it can help in a way that you don't need the server to be hosted in a nearby location as long as a peer/peers have the hashes you request. This however will only work for read only access.

You can imagine say a satellite (or multiple satellites) between Mars and moon is a peer that contains hashes to your website content. Rather than make the full trip to earth you can just get that hash from the satellite instead drastically decreasing load times.
No. There are two main ways for a work to lose copyright and enter the public domain: if its (very long) copyright term expires, or if the copyright holder dedicates it to the public domain. However, the latter may not actually be possible under the copyright law of some jurisdictions, which is why people recommend using a permissive license instead; that applies to code as well as to anything else that can be copyrighted. Nothing is changing with respect to that; indeed, there’s no new law at all. All that’s happening now is that the copyright terms of a bunch of old works, which were retroactively extended in 1998 from 75 to 95 years, are finally starting to expire.
Awesome! Thanks for the hard work! I’ll give this a go and submit a bug report if I find an issue :-)

And this is why I tend to use a slightly smaller subset of some of the features that C-family languages support, along with an abundance of brackets.

If I remember rightly, there is the example:

a = {-1, -1}
x = 0
a[++x] = x
print(a[0] + " " + a[1])

Depending on the language (and sometimes even if you have optimizations set for those that compile to binaries), you'll get a different answer.

I always love (read sarcasm) to see awesome code, such as:

z = a & b > c | d

or:

z = a > b ? c < d ? e : f : g ? h : i

And then of course, the statement: "my code doesn't need comments because the code comments itself"...

"Although effective obesity prevention leads to a decrease in costs of obesity-related diseases, this decrease is offset by cost increases due to diseases unrelated to obesity in life-years gained.

Many Marvel characters go back into the 30s too. The most popular ones are indeed "silver age" - Spider-Man, F4, X-Men, Avengers, etc, which is 60s so Marvel is safe there, but Marvel has a lot of characters from "golden age" from the 30s/early 40s - for example the original Captain America is 1941, Namor the Submariner is from the 30s, original Human Torch similarly.

But it's true most of modern Marvel IP is from 60s, and also it's hard to make an interpretations of the characters not based on the modern interpretations, and Marvel has trademarked everything from head to toes, including all the character designs and names (and even the term "super hero"), so... yeah who knows

"Hence, if it requires, say, a thousand years to fit for easy flight a bird which started with rudimentary wings, or ten thousand for one which started with no wings at all and had to sprout them ab initio, it might be assumed that the flying machine which will really fly might be evolved by the combined and continuous efforts of mathematicians and mechanicians in from one million to ten million years--provided, of course, we can meanwhile eliminate such little drawbacks and embarrassments as the existing relation between weight and strength in inorganic materials.

A couple of the leading minds in AGI say it's a long ways away... just because the universe likes to give us the finger, maybe AGI is on the horizon. Maybe we'll look back at this in 10 years and laugh (if we're here).
They've solved that issue by deploying more towers in high density areas and carriers have swapped allocations in areas to get more continuous spectrum. Upping the frequency just gives you wider bands.

I think a better argument could be made about spending R&D on making 4G/LTE require a smaller band. I think LTE (assuming 850MHz) can be 1.4, 3, 5, 10MHz per band- which is non-optional. If you could cut the required Tx/Rx band width in half; I think that would be better use of effort.
Don't make it a percentage of revenue, just make it an exponentially increasing amount, and the copyright holder will bail out when it's no longer profitable for them.
There is a documentary on HBO now called Bleed Out. If you want to know how absolutely fucked the US medical system is, watch it. You will probably never want you or anyone you love to ever step foot in a hospital again.

These insurance companies and hospital groups are pure evil. Absolutely disgusted with what a backwards ass country America is.
I think there are a few selling points.

First, 5G should increase available bandwidth. Industry analysts are predicting that data usage will go up 7x between now and 2024. More speed/bandwidth can help with that. Without increasing capacity, would we just see our usage stagnate?

Second, 5G should have much better ping times. Not only will this make browsing noticeably better, but it also means that latency applications can work well over wireless.

Third, there's a decent possibility that 5G will bring home broadband competition. If you're fed up with Comcast or Charter, 5G could mean choice in your internet service.

Fourth, I believe that 5G has a lot more flexibility than LTE. Part of that might mean low-power narrow connections that will allow cheap and battery-efficient sensor connections. Part of that might mean ultra-wide-band connections allowing for high-bandwidth devices that can't be served by the more limited carrier aggregation of LTE.

Fifth, sometimes applications happen when the technology is there to accommodate it. The broad availability of broadband let Netflix pivot from shipping DVDs to streaming. Broadband has meant online gaming, richer online applications, digital distribution, etc. As mobile bandwidth increased, we went from loading music from our computer, to streaming music, to streaming video. I think the broadband speed you have to support in your applications tends to be 10Mbps+, but if that floor raises over the next 5 years, it could change which applications and experiences people invent.

I mean, before the iPhone was announced, a lot of people wanted a phone dial pad on one side and an iPod click wheel on the other. People wanted Blackberries. The iPhone laid the technological foundation for all sorts of new experiences that people hadn't really thought about. Successive iPhones have been comparatively minor upgrades, but even then the faster processors, better screens, better wireless connectivity, etc. have allowed for better experiences to be built.

--

It's also important to remember that there are different deployments of 5G. While Verizon has pushed out its ultra-high-band, short-range 5G, other companies are going to be rolling out 5G on more traditional spectrum offering much the same range as LTE. 5G NR is a new radio interface and it promises better spectral efficiency than LTE.

I think it's also likely that many areas will see high-density deployments. Companies like Comcast run a wire to every house they serve and require coordination with property owners to get it into the building. If you could run a wire to one point every 18 acres, that's a lot easier (that's assuming a 500 ft transmission range). Higher density than that is certainly achievable in dense cities.

It can certainly be hard to predict what a new technology might make happen. It's also possible that 5G won't make a huge impact beyond what LTE has already done.

But on the plus side, hydrogen fuel cell cars refuel faster than battery electrics. The Hyundai Nexo refuels in 5 minutes for a range of 600+ KMs:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-13/bmw-porsc...

I think battery electrics will win out over hydrogen fuel cell cars in the long run just because more of the infrastructure is already there and it's easier to build out fast charger stations than hydrogen fueling stations. But hydrogen will be part of the mix, maybe more for heavy vehicles than cars.

They say in the article that the police department was able to double the number of bait packages due to a grant from an external organization. It would be pretty trivial to donate money to a charity or "Friends of" organization and then have them write a grant to pay for bait package kits.

Portugal's Tech Visa to kick-off January 1, 2019
No. There is a fundamental link between explaining the law and advocating for change in the law. You might as well say that nobody who can program computers should be allowed to submit PRs or feature requests.

If I were to advocate for changes in the law without explaining what the law says and why it needs to be changed, I would almost by definition be trying to manipulate my audience - trying to get them to give me their support while keeping my reasons and agenda hidden.

As I read your comment, no, Sir, I cannot agree.

But perhaps I misunderstand you, in which case I'm happy to be corrected. Perhaps what you mean is that legal minds shouldn't coyly accept the benefits of the tendency of the public to accept the implicit argument by authority. Perhaps you mean simply that advocacy shouldn't take the guise of a dispassionate explication. In the talk of the trade, a lawyer shouldn't pass a brief (persuasive) off as a memo (analytical). If that is the heart of what you're trying to say, I think that's fair and reasonable.

Why is that dystopian? That actually sounds pretty awesome and would be great if it reduces package thefts.
I take it you've heard of him by now?
So does anyone know why delivery drivers do that? Is there some sort of perverse incentive to leaving a delivery note versus actually delivering the package?

I can kinda get the incentive (saving time) on signature-required packages, since it's faster to slap a label on the door than wait for someone to answer and sign for the thing.

But why do they do it on non-signature packages? It makes no sense.
> Socialized healthcare has its own "immoral" trade-offs. We essentially reduce per capita quality in favor of all-inclusive coverage

That's a false dichotomy; there are many mixed systems where the government provides a baseline level of care with private insurance providing additional services or benefits (eg: government covers a shared hospital room, private insurance covers a private room).

>Libertarians would argue that forcing money from one person to give to another for medical care is immoral

True libertarians also argue that all taxation is theft (if they're purists anyway), making road construction immoral.

> Framing it around morality makes the other side seem abhorrent and the situation difficult to find common ground.

A "free market" in healthcare requires us to condemn people to death or debilitating injury when they cannot afford care. Unlike nearly every other area, this one literally involves life and death so I believe it must meet a different standard than other activity (economic or otherwise).

240 Comment and not a single one defending Mailchimp.

Over the years, there are many articles on HN about Mails. And the general ( or even golden rule ) was not to setup your own server, it is too much hassle, waste of time. And just use something like MailChimp instead.

I think there might be a few mention for Mailgun, but most of the time it was MailChimp for recommendation.

And over the years NOT A SINGLE report or comment of their bad experience. It was all singing and praise.

Now something happened, and all of a sudden you get a huge flux of people mentioning it was similar to their own experience as well.

And this isn't the first time I see something like this. It wasn't until the ZOHO incident did people start telling their horror story about Namecheap and Godaddy.

Is there a psychological term for this? You knew it was bad, but you didn't tell your story then.
> It also sounds like FreeBSD also lacks the resources to maintain an implementation of something like ZFS, which is ironic since not too long ago it seemed like one of the marquee features they had that Linux didn't.

There's no contradiction here. FreeBSD was never the primary contributor to (Open)ZFS (it was an Illumos thing), but we had the resources to make it a first class citizen on FreeBSD at a time when Linux wasn't doing that (mostly for licensing reasons).

It seems like the Linux world has gotten over the licensing problem one way or another, and at the end of the day Linux has something like 100x-1000x more developers to bring to bear at the problem. So between that, and illumos' imminent death, ZoL is the active upstream. FreeBSD is happy to benefit from the ZFS improvements in ZoL, especially given the collaborative spirit we've seen from the ZoL team so far. If anything, kudos to the ZoL folks for the huge amount of effort they've put in over the last handful of years.

OnTrac is the worst, in Palo Alto the Ontrac guys would drop off every single package they had from Amazon at our Apartment Leasing office after they were closed, so you'd often find 5+ packages sitting on the doorfront in the evening, instead of delivering the packages to the apartment locations (which are clearly labeled and very public)

Now in Oregon I ordered winter tires, Ontrac marked them delivered on the delivery date but never actually dropped them off, later and they decided to deliver 4 days later once I complained to the Shipper.

It's all anecdotal but the moment I see anything delivered by Ontrac I just assume it has a 50/50 chance of being actually delivered.

Looking at the brotli API, I believe I spotted the source of our disagreements. Brotli separates out the window size from the quality, but in zstd the level implies the window size, unless you use advanced parameters. For example, level 3 has a 1 MB window size.

When you are comparing brotli and zstd, are you focusing on the highest quality/compression level, but varying the window size?

For us, lower compression levels (1-3) are our primary focus. We care about the highest levels for benchmarks, but it isn't our focus. When we are benchmarking zstd we focus on the lower levels, since they are the most important to us. When we think about a smaller window size, we generally think about faster compression.

When we comparing against brotli, the question we're asking is, how does brotli compare to level 3. When you're benchmarking zstd, I suspect you're asking the question, how does the highest zstd level compare to the highest brotli quality for the same window size, is that right?
