In the case of gold, there's also exploration, colonization, and foreign resource exploitation.

There's probably an argument that one of the main drivers of European colonization was pursuit of a de facto increase in currency supply.
No. Instead, I unfollowed almost everyone!

So far to me, it seems to be the best of both worlds: having & not having Facebook.
Cowen, Andreessen, and Horowitz: Annotated
> software will be able to notice when you’re feeling down

This feels dystopian to me too, not least because in order for software to diagnose this problem you'll need to spend sufficient time generating relevant usage data... usage that will (if existing social media are anything to go by) be a net contributor to problems with self-esteem, fitness, sleep, etc.

I'm not going to pretend to know exactly what he means, or how it'll pan out, but the cynic in me is expecting a greater net benefit from just deleting your FB/Twitter/Insta account.
My theory at the time was something I called "The Syndrome" which was based on the idea that the business cycle is based on the balance of "solving problems" vs "creating problems" and thus a homology between the events surrounding 1929, 1968 and 2000.

In the "syndrome theory" there is a crisis of the private sector creating problems faster that can solve them that then leads to a change in the governing philosophy that improves matters for a time, but then we run into the limits of that regime and it happens again.

This theory called the top in 1999 (I remember watching a football game on Christmas day and the ads were for stocks and bonds and not beer and I went home and sold)

In 2005 I thought the 2nd Iraq War would lead to a government crisis (analogous to Vietnam/Watergate) but that didn't happen.

Interestingly there was no real "regime change" after 1999 but instead SOX and other regulatory changes seemed to cement a culture of rent seeking and inpunity.

Milton Keynes, the great trader, said that "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" and that is quite true.
You might not need a loop
just like the Bush/Cheney relationship, it pays to watch Pence rather than Trump, who is arguably just a distraction.
Apologies for being somewhat off topic, but I thought this would be a good place to ask.

Would you hire someone who you know is struggling with depression?

In my specific case, I am seeing doctors about it. But progress has been slow, and right now I'm only managing about 6hrs a day.

(I'm not currently looking for work, my current workplace has treated me very well. But there's been times I've wondered if it would best for both of us if I did find something new.)

One of the few things we can say with certainty that will not happen any time soon. Car-loving boomers all need to die off first.
Did image streaming get you vivid images, or just images, period? I have dull and fleeting mental images, but they're there. Am wondering if I can expand them.
I wholeheartedly agree. I've had the opportunity to use both implementing a single sign-on solution with an ADFS server, and it is quite interesting to see how OpenID Connect and JWT basically do what SAML and the ADFS SSO authentication flow do; just with a much, much smaller payload and a way more accessible standard.

Also, finding information and documentation on JWT and related technologies on-line is a lot easier.
Your Face Is Going Places You May Not Like
I completely agree when it comes to running, say, a VPS.

If you're running (or using) a service where thousands of businesses rely on the ability to run their code and their data on your machines without any of your other customers being able to access it, yeah, security is priority #1.

On my personal workstation, though, what are they going to get? My credit card number? That's my bank's problem. I'm not particularly worried about targetted attacks, if my competitor or customers got everything on my hard drive little would change for any of us. Force me to restore from backup? Email password would be bad, but that's partially what 2-factor is for.

I have a tiny chance of getting a few hours of inconvenience if someone completely owns my PC. That's not worth all my work happening a little bit slower all the time.
Thank you for the advice, you're the second person to bring that up, and it seems like a fine idea, so I will do that this morning :)

[UPDATE] I have added the full and complete documentation to the website, which I hope will help you decide whether you'd like to try Autumn!
On street parking is a horrible thing to have in any urban area. That MUST be banned.

Bike lanes are beneficial in urban areas, and that's pretty much it.

But when it comes to US, the bike lanes is the last thing when it comes to the kindergarten level of infrastructure planning.
In my experience infrastructure in US was planned exclusively by NIMBYs...
Yeah, that’s what I got out of the article – IQ isn’t perfect, therefore it should be rejected completely and not replaced with anything.

Speaking of absolute garbage why are you bothering citing pop garbage nutrition articles when there's plenty of peer-reviewed data? Here's a 2015 meta-analysis of dietary nitrates, nitrates, and nitrosamine intake and cancer risk: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4690057/ - overall, results were pretty weak, with pretty small hazard ratios (1.31 and 1.34 for nitrites and NDMA respectively). This seems largely matched by a 2017 review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5669970/ There are many other things you could do to reduce your risk of cancer if that were you're primary health concern (my personal preference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3946160/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4255155/).

There's even more research on eggs (I also checked the author information, these are real academics, not just industry shills as your reference implies must be behind all pro-egg research) - you can also see my other citations in this thread to see references on how dietary cholesterol has little impact on serum cholesterol, and also how high cholesterol has very little to say about CVD (also eggs actually raise HDL which is a good thing if you're looking at cholesterol sub-fractions, you really need to be looking at the research on Lp(a) and Ox-LDL). Anyway, overall consensus, seems to be that eggs are not absolute garbage:

* 2015 Egg Consumption and Human Cardio-Metabolic Health in People with and without Diabetes https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4586539/

* 2016 Eggs and Health Special Issue https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5188439/

* 2016 Eggs: good or bad? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27126575

* 2017 Intake of up to 3 Eggs per Day Is Associated with Changes in HDL Function and Increased Plasma Antioxidants in Healthy, Young Adults. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28077734

* 2017 Consuming Two Eggs per Day, as Compared to an Oatmeal Breakfast, Decreases Plasma Ghrelin while Maintaining the LDL/HDL Ratio https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5331520/
One of the biggest advantages of JWT is that is saves up on database reads which can be significant when you have million+ logged in users.

I think that is probably thinking of time when you had to do everything yourself (host your own mysql server, create indexes, cache, etc). Now you can easily save your sessions using stuff like DynamoDb.. it costs almost nothing and read times are blazing fast even when there are millions of rows. Doesn't make a lot of sense to use JWT after this.
How to progress in cyber sec
thank you for taking a moment to read this,

i'm very interested in cyber security, but i'm not sure what kinda progress i should be aiming at.

recently i did the CompTIA A+ exams and passed them both, but my goal is the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) qualification.

i have the privilege of working for a small, but successful IT support group as the junior cyber security analyst, but i don't currently have a senior and i'm now gaining experience answering phones.

my guess the question is, what's a logical next step, that's beneficial for; me, the company, and the future progression.

do i learn more about Kali Linux?

do i move more into gaining sysadmin experience?

do i continue CompTIA course's?

really any advice is welcome and i thank you again for reading this.

One thing the Internet has been good for has been finding people with similar conditions. Knowing that many people can see images on demand alleviates some of my confusion; "Imagine yourself on a beach" to relax never made much sense to me.

I do feel I'm missing out somewhat on richness of experience. When I try to visualize it's as if there's just a texture to the blackness in my mind, like a handprint in mud.

I recently learned about Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM). It's hard to tell based on textual descriptions, but it does seem to relate to aphantasia and the fact I can't recall most of the past, whether it be ten days or ten years ago.

Hi, I'm the author. If you find any particular claim of "obviousness" unclear, submit an issue request!

But please don't confuse "straightforward" with "obvious". Sometimes I deliberately gloss over mechanical details because I think they're a distraction from the main point. I'm NOT claiming that you should immediately know how to fill in the details; I'm claiming that filling in the details is boring.

- Software Engineer, Search Technology: We’re looking for a developer with experience in search - someone who’s not afraid of search engine internals, optimizing for relevancy, and indexing unstructured data. We are building a media search engine to provide media recommendations given lots of additional textual context. Familiarity with tools like Elasticsearch, Lucene/Solr, Spark, Hadoop/MapReduce, or Kafka would be great! https://lumen5.workable.com/j/01105A482F

- Machine Learning Engineer: Building our system to better understand text content to convert it to video. Looking for someone with experience in recommendation systems, NLP, text summarization, and working with large amounts of raw data. https://lumen5.workable.com/j/964B167919
That's just the thing though: Western cities are increasingly de-prioritizing cars, and Eastern cities are falling behind.

There are parts of Phoenix that are more bikable than much of New York.

LA, SF, Portland, and Seattle have started pouring money into their new transit systems, while MTA and NJ Transit and Port Authority keep having their budgets cut, leading to reliability so low that it's driving people into cars.

The East Coast used to be the star of American transportation, not much anymore.

Zapier | BE/Python Engineer, FE/React Engineer, Test Automation Engineer, Engineering Manager, Engineering Director (soon) | Earth | 100% REMOTE | https://zapier.com/jobs/

Zapier is 100% remote from YC S12. We're just over 7 years old, wrapped 2018 with 200 folks across 20+ countries -- about 75 of those are engineers! We're sustainably profitable and have a lot of cool stuff we want to do in 2019 to bring automation to the masses.

If you haven't heard of Zapier, we're sort of like Legos for the internet -- we help people build workflows around SaaS software or other online productivity tools. We're doing well, but we have a lot of work to do still. I think 2019 might be Zapier's most exciting year to date! :-)

We're also doing a lot of technical investment in 2019 around simplifying and scaling the product, evolving the architectural design, and of course a bit of tech debt reduction (which is mostly deleting code without breaking anything!).

We're also going to be hiring a Director/Manager-of-Managers layer as well as some Security Engineers in early 2019, but the job posts aren't up yet. If you are interested in those, maybe drop me a line bryan@zapier.com?

I would rather suffer Trump to the end of his term than suffer the market distortions and worse because of any attempt to impeach. Maybe this time the both sides will put up worthwhile candidates.

Worse is the declarations of some in the Democratic Party of going not only after him but Pence and even Kavanaugh. Go after both President and Vice would be played out as a coup and hand Trump his greatest leverage ever. It would push a lot of independents back into his camp. We do not need the precedent, let alone set by trying to impeach for activities before he was President.

If we start prosecuting politicians for what they did before they entered office then it just comes down to a banana republic. where whomever is in power decides who they don't like and just take them down.
This is interesting... Does algorithm decode, let's say, a JPG image in such a way that would produce child porn out of let's say google logo, makes google logo illegal image? Does conveying an illegal image in other ways, let's say describe in text detailed attributes of such an image, makes such text illegal? Not from a law standpoint, as I am sure it is quite specific, but from a spirit of the law which in theory should represent cultural norms of the country using such laws?
You can speed up brute force search by starting somewhere before where log10(x^y) * 4.5 is roughly equal to x. For example 2222^140 is 2110 which is close to 2222. Then brute force search from there and you get:

Unadaptable != Stupid
This is a great point. I find I'm a WAY better DM in my D&D game now that I've had years of books to back up some of my plans. Instead of having to create everything from scratch I am able to integrate these other worlds into my own. It helps so much in creating a fuller world for my buddies. I think it's paid off in that my last foray into DMing (same guys) ended in a 2 year break and this time they seem to want to keep going. I partly blame Ravenloft, but only partly.
For 2019, my focus is on making my life more efficient, and a big part of that involves reforming my computing habits. Among my worse habits is constantly checking Hacker News, since after all, this is the pulse of the industry.

Like most of you, I don't want to miss a single top story, and I don't want to check to Hacker News constantly. My solution was to build a jobs queue and program it to check Hacker News for me. Then, every morning and night, it would email me a list of the top stories.

The emails are designed to feel very familiar to the Hacker News experience. With the added the metadata page descriptions, it feels a lot like a newsfeed. I'm considering replacing these descriptions with ML summaries, and adding adding a preview image to it. What do you think?

Anyways, I've been really enjoying it and I hope you might too. Try it out and let me know what you think!
You can only copyright works of creativity. Changing someones shirt color to non-specific non-interesting shade of red would be a challenging claim to defend.
It's slower than the car lanes; there are so many buses that the bus lane is more backed up than the car lanes. They are in the process of building a subway that'll take many of those buses out of downtown, though. (Ottawa, Canada).
Interesting. I'm in my early 30s and also feel my ability is declining. I recall at age 23 arriving in a new country and being able to recall in detail my whole drive in and first day. Can not imagine such things now. I can recall the day, and move through it, but without colours and few images. The data is there, but I can't see it, if that makes sense.

Any head injuries, antibiotic use or other big changes?

(Not sure about antibiotics, but I did lose some pre sleep visualations after a course of them, I think)
Thanks. Candidate experience is super important so having a bad interview experience sucks.

We try to run a pretty tight ship on the security side of things, and I know most of the other hiring managers are the same way.

Personally, I make sure I give every candidate I talk to my work email address and invite them to email me if they have any questions or snags in the process.

Only one third were pure fossil fuel. That is quite remarkable.
