I am also a self taught and disagree with this. Everyone’s approach is different. I believe the key is passion and motivation. For us self taughts, we have enough motivation to carry us through. For others, they’ll need to absorb by osmosis. Especially from teachers that share your same passion.
So that why the auto play video feature just won't die despite everyone loathing it...

Most of our forays into Netflix these days are precision strikes. We know what we want to watch and we race to get to it without triggering those stupid autoplay videos. We no longer browse.

For a while I had my TV setup with variable framerate to match the content being played and of course the Netflix UI and Video operated at different framerates so every time a video would kick in the screen would blank for a few seconds and when you navigated it would blank back.
So, the author read a book and then awkwardly tried to graft its theme onto the narrative his employer is pushing. Went about as well as you'd expect.
What should I prepare for before moving to the Bay Area?
Hey all,

I am an Aussie trying to get my foot in the door
in the Bay Area. My main skills are React / JavaScript full stack. I finished a Bachelor degree two years ago. At the moment, I'm looking for companies to apply for from Sydney, that way I will have a job lined up. For any Aussies that have done the move in the past, any advice on what I should have do before making the jump?
Damn, that sounds like a good response.
Is there reason to believe that the problem is specific to Japan? The video says it's also known to be happening in the US, UK, Italy, and South Korea. Those are 5 very different developed countries, on 3 different continents, and together make up nearly 10% of the earth's population.

I feel like more people need to read Foucault. He is in a sense the prototypical the writer responsible for a lot of the contemporary left perspective on the entrenchment of practices of power in innocuous places (speeches, the design of prisons, schools, clinics, etc). In a sense, even challenges to climate change can find some anchor in his work. His work is avowedly nonpartisan ("I am just making tools", to paraphrase), though Foucault himself was a gay French historian who did much activism on prison reform and has an interesting take on the Iranian Revolution. But at the end of the day, I know no better resource with which to navigate modern information hysteria (and no matter how well-dressed in "rationality" it may appear).

In the sense of prolonging the species.
If the social and economic norms discourage having children then it is regressive in terms of prolonging your (in this sense subscribing to European / Japanese norms) species.
I suspect that staying slim and trim leads to longevity, regardless of diet, be it high carb or high fat.
Why I wonder?
I think it's pretty clear that the average user isn't willing to pay anything for an email account.
It's a negotiable number but wants to symbolize rich should pay their share, cap the greed. Who says people will ever be equal, rich people will always have more but I think there should be a limit to that. I'm sure they'd find ways to pay less but at least make them pay their fair share that they're avoiding now through loopholes.
Future of coding?
I think tech is causing it, at least in part. You can have everything without leaving home, people stay in their shell more and more until it's too late.
I've had a pretty terrible experience trying to buy non stick skillets over the years on Amazon with most of even the top rated items coming with huge issues like warping on the first use, not being very non stick, flaking etc. I almost wonder if its counterfeit or if manufacturers just cutting corners on what used to be a good product? Either way reviews become almost useless when you don't know which version you will be getting. I've found Amazon works much better for items without potential latent quality issues like DVDs, books, or products that are just binary work/don't work.
have you considered transitioning from music to yoga/taichi? I found the same creative force was required but on a different plane.

Amazon launders counterfeit goods on a regular basis. Remember fiasco with the solar eclipse?

https://www.kgw.com/article/news/eclipse/amazon-eclipse-glas...

Amazon does not track things 100%, so you may think you're buying from one seller, and you are actually getting something from a different seller. That should be illegal and actionable by consumers as well as sellers, with more than just a refund.
> Genetic good fortune could be one important factor. Thanks to the geography of the islands, Okinawa’s populations have spent large chunks of their history in relative isolation, which may has given them a unique genetic profile. Preliminary studies suggest this may include a reduced prevalence of a gene variant – APOE4 – that appears to increase the risk of heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

Their high-carb diet has nothing to do with Okinawan longevity. Genes are the most important factor.

This article is ridiculous click-bait.
> I wonder if there's a divide between the type of student who could dutifully learn something because it's the thing they're supposed to do, and the type of student who won't learn much if they aren't interested, but will quickly become proficient, if not master, the subject if they have the passion for it?

I'm not really a fan of the word "divide" here because the dutiful learner can absolutely benefit from the positive effect of being interested in the subject matter. On the other hand, he/she won't suffer the negative consequences of not really being interested.

> Isn't it related to the concept of "eustress"?

Related in the way that some students probably had a positive response. As for me...it was definitely a negative threat, although not as bad as citing a poem in front of the class for example. It also didn't lead to any growth in that department, it was an ever-recurring hurdle to be feared. But, as I said, it worked really well when it came to the aspect of learning the vocabulary. For that alone it was absolutely worth it.

Amazon simply delivered the online shopping experience everyone wanted. In the beginning, you would scour the net looking for decent retailers and then get barraged by shipping charges and delivery times that drained all the value.

Amazon's focus was on fast and free shipping, removing the friction from the experience. Having scratched that itch, they got the scale benefit of reviews. Gold for the consumer. Retail is based on a specialist buying products customers want and ensuring and backing up quality. Amazon made that into a digital platform. The other retailers lost site of thier value and took customers for granted. That was why they didn't recognize the opportunity.
This is an interesting idea. Say, on first boot of your new iPhone, you get a screen that says, "Which experience do you want?" with options, "Apple's curated" or "Choose your own adventure" with the proper caveats for the latter: "Choosing this option will allow you to install 3rd party software not reviewed by Apple. Such software could contain features which could harm your device. Some award-winning features designed by Apple will be unavailable in this mode. You may revert to the "Apple Curated Experience" at any time by navigating to Settings -> General -> My Experience." In other words, keep the walled garden, but give your users a key to the gate. The question is, will we then see users demand Apple make their software available outside the gate? I would want Apple to make no commitments to developing there. No Music.app, no iCloud, no iMessages, no Safari. You get a 3rd party store with 3rd party apps on Apple's hardware.

I agree with this sentiment.

However, if it's true that people learn from people they love, then it might be hard to learn from a comment that is calling what someone says "bullshit" and calling them a "pendejo".
> Original Netflix series and movies are, by and large, fairly awful.

I disagree strongly. There are quite a few Netflix original shows that I like. The wife and I just finished watching Travelers last night, and it the 3 seasons were fantastic.
Thanks for those links. I can't help but wonder, though, why are you following my submission history so closely that you would notice this?
There's the Intel Up board. 4 Atom cores, gigabit ethernet, 2xUSB3, 2xUSB2, HDMI and the same form factor as a Pi. You can get expansion boards that break out more USB ports (not on a hub, independent bandwidth), native UART and I2C. I've been playing with them for onboard computing on a drone, so far it is working really well. Price is about $100 for the low spec ones.
Flip side of this: if there is a teacher / professor who's made a difference in your life, and you have the means & the opportunity to do so, drop by and say hi. As someone who's been teaching for a little while, it is truly gratifying to get a visit from a former student. It matters very little to me whether the student was a "good" student (i.e., got a good grade), or whether they've found what I taught them of any use. Just good to see how people have grown, and done different (and almost always interesting and productive) things with their lives.
stop trying to make alot of money. its really that simple
> "Despite the popularity of the Atkins and Paleo diets, however, there is minimal evidence that high-protein diets really do bring about long-term benefits. So could the “Okinawan Ratio” – 10:1 carbohydrate to protein – instead be the secret to a long and healthy life?"

In the low-carb diet you are mostly replacing calories from carbs with calories from fat. Not sure why they are focused on this carb to protein ratio.

> "The traditional Okinawan diet is therefore dense in the essential vitamins and minerals - including anti-oxidants - but also low in calories.

[...]

For this reason, some scientists believe that Okinawans offer more evidence for the life-enhancing virtues of a “calorie restricted” diet."

Well, the benefit of low-carb is that you crave less food so naturally "calorie-restrict" relative to a high carb diet. So if they are accomplishing this another way it all makes sense (they mention some genetic factors in tfa).

This is the kind of quality journo we expect from Wired now they are paywalled? Bye bye Wired.
As a vegan who is constantly seeing anti-vegan (or pro-keto) sentiment on HN, it's nice to see a post about a Blue Zone[1].

Interestingly, the Okinawans eat a different sweet potato from the one shown. It's appropriately named the Okinawa sweet potato, and it's purple on the inside, due to having a high antioxidant content similar to blueberries[2].

These are not to be confused with sweet potatoes that are purple on the outside, and often confusingly called Asian sweet potatoes or Japanese sweet potatoes[3].

If you live near an Asian market, you should try looking for the Okinawa sweet potato (I get mine from a Chinese place near my home in LA). It has a very different taste and texture. I personally like to cut them up, steam them, and throw them into a food processor. They develop an interesting pasty texture which I quite like.

I wish they were to focus on the quality of the time I spend with the service rather than quantity. Time wrestling the UI for certain doesn't count. Time watching a show I forget entirely a month later..? I want to spend as little time possible and get the maximum value from it. I want my life to feel enriched from it. I don't want to feel like some junky who wastes they precious limited time addicted to mindless candy.

Edit: I know eyeball time is a lot easier to measure. But figure it out! I hear Netflix has some good, talented people.

For the love of all that is holy, can we please just admit that our current methods for studying nutrition _do not work_, that we need better ways to handle this sort of complex system, and the mean time, the best knowledge we have about what constitutes a healthy diet really can just be summed up as "eat food, not too much, mostly plants". The head spinning speed with which new "scientifically supported" diet announcements come out -- which almost always contradict each other -- is almost certainly contributing to the undermining of the lay person's trust in science at this point.

We need to stop it, stop trying to apply clearly mismatched tools to this problem and reconsider our whole approach.
Well, with the openconnect boxes the cost of Netflix sending it over the wire was literally zero, since they were not sourcing it.
Maybe by having less of it shoved in your face in the form of endless lists of vaguely related content engineered to keep your attention.

In a sea of pushed content, I actually find harder to find things I'm genuinely interested in. This may have turned a generation of curious minds into passive consumers.

For example, the paginated list on HN's home page is great: I've never needed to move to page 2, whereas if it has been an infinite list, I'd probably spend way too long there.

I 1million% agree with giving the money to the worker in need, and I myself would opt for the Indian as well if quality is the same.

But, my suspicion is that everyone on beermoney actually has no other income :(
The use of "high-carb" is also misleading. As described in the article, the Okinawan diet is mostly vegetarian, and calorie-restricted, not really what comes to mind when you hear the phrase "high-carb," though it might be technically correct.
I feel like we do not know the answer 100% for sure.

But from what I know eating vegan is totally safe if you watch your micro nutrients.

---- Speculation below ---- (corrections and comments welcome)

Doing double blinded control trials with diets over the long term is impossible, and there are so many confounding variables with diet study.

Also, as Peter Attia likes to talk about, there is a lot of variation from person to person.

I follow Rhonda Patrick and Peter Attia, and it's very interesting to hear what they have to say, and they are clearly smart individuals who are consistent, and really try to do their best with looking at diet. Also, I trust their intentions and the way they approach these problems, unlike certain other people. (I believe consistency is one of the best ways to point out issues in the way someone evaluates evidence, and to now use them as a reference source)

I think part of the issue comes down to if you want to be on the cutting edge, you have to take risk, because at the leading edge there isn't enough evidence to be 100% sure.

It's interesting to see vegans and keto type people degree with each other, because it shows two group of people who are convinced their way is best.

Things that are popular right now seem to be keto, vegan, various forms of fasting, and omega 3.

Peter Attia likes to talk about keeping blood sugar, and therefore insulin low, which I think has a good amount of evidence behind it, but good luck getting a continuous glucose monitor.

I think we can pretty much all agree on avoiding too much red meat, processed foods, and sugar is generally going to get some of the largest results.

There is also a lot of talk about fasting. It seems like eating in a smaller window is best, but at the same time we don't 100% know.

If I were trying to eat an optimal diet, I think I'd side on the low sugar (and trying to minimize blood sugar), lots of plants, a little bit of meat (not much red meat), eating within a small window, low mounts of (or no) alcohol.

We are becoming aware of the many issues with scientific studies, and dietary studies may be some of the worse.

Additionally, things that we discover on mice (and other animals) often don't translate to humans well.

I think with a vegan diet you have to be careful that you are getting all your nutrients, but I haven't seen much evidence against it.

Some notable vegans include Alex Honnold (Free Solo, first person to climb El Capitan without a rope and harness), Clarence Kennedy (insanely strong weightlifter, freak of nature; he does steroids, but still is extremely strong given his body weight), Scott Jurek (one of the fastest people to complete a 2000 trail, Appalachian Trail). These are people at the extremes of performance.

I think at the end of the day it depends on how much risk you want to take, and how much time you want to invest in this. At some point you can spend more time optimizing your diet than the gains you get from those things. Also, individual variation can be huge between the way ones body processes things.
I bought this non-stick pan on Amazon and it was one of my best purchases of last year. The trick with non-sticks is to buy cheap enough cookware to affordably replace regularly as they wear out. My previous non-stick pan cost four times as much, wore out, and is now just hanging from a rack, looking fabulous. With the new one, I plan to toss it in another year and buy another.

Thank you, that's very interesting.
Altering a habit by means of will-force is not easy.

One simple route can be to make checking some sites more difficult, so that you need to make an effort to log into e.g. Facebook.

For example, you can use Temporary Containers [1] so that all cookies are deleted when you close a tab. Hence, every time you open a new tab and go to facebook.com you will need to make the effort to log in. As a side effect, this approach reduces tracking by third parties.

> They astounded the attendees – who had made estimates of up to 100 man-years to implement the language, using up to 7 pass compilers – when they described how they had already implemented a one-pass compiler which was in production use in engineering and scientific applications...The ALGOL 68-R compiler was initially written using the RRE ALGOL 60 compiler including extensions for address manipulation and list processing but stripped out of features such as real number handling which made it more suitable and more focused on compiling a compiler.

Dropping any kind of real or float support sounds like a major issue for scientific use; did the users simply have to express everything as fixed-point integers? What else did they simply drop to get their subset/prototype working?

The thread here is about increasing the wager/skin in the game of companies and executives that do anything that disproportionately disadvantages older workers: I turn that around and say that the people that advocate those policies should also have to risk something in case what they think is good for old people is actually bad for other group, for example, poorer untrained workers.

A relative advantage for one is necessarily a relative disadvantage for another.
