So... do we know why CGRP exists in the brain in the first place? What is its function? Why is it released, and what does it accomplish?
I wonder if that depends on state and/or who prescribes it?

I got a new prescription in 2017-07-07, and just took a look at it. It says it expires 2019-07-07.

I'm in Washington, and got it at Walmart.
Those aren't worker rushes.
Honestly this doesn't just go for high-end jobs. If you're a coffee shop and refuse to shell out for some nice stools for employees to take a rest on then you're just not using math.

All labour in the US costs far more than a decent chair or a nice ergonomic keyboard and mouse, a hands free headset... All of these things are peanuts compared to the costs of employing someone.
It only makes sense that its become so complicated though. With millions of websites and different use cases something simple would never suffice. So many people need to use it in so many different ways (compared to 20 years ago) that it was forced to become complicated.
Agreed. Are you working on anything related to this?
The sad thing is that it appears that (in the US) for optomtrists, the eye exam is just a loss leader for the eye glass purchase in the "store" they also own. I assume my eye dr. went to college, medical school, and then some additional training (2 more years?). He does a very comprehensive eye exam, and my VSP insurance only pays him around $70 for the exam.

I've had good luck with eyebuydirect, and have heard some good things about Zenni too.
Discrimination is like compound interest, it builds upon itself. If you're a underrepresented minority, its more likely that at each stage of your career you've been low balled compensation wise, if a potential employer is going to use your previous salary as a baseline, there is no way out of the spiral that initially started with your first job.
I have the Galago Pro with 32gb of ram. Bad battery life, terrible speakers and trackpad. But overall decent. I like the build and PopOS makes me happy as pie as to how well it all works out-of-the-box. Great price, too. But I think I picked up a few Christmas discounts.
To find new clients I think that by introducing yourselves and your product to those "brick and mortar non profits" you said turned people away, you should be able to convince them to send your way some of the people that they can't handle.

But I have to say that the idea you had about the money source sounds a bit strange to me. Your whole idea is helping people that don't have any money, so it just seems weird that you would then ask for or even want their money, because that somewhat defies the point of helping them save money (I'm sure that you probably take only small amounts, but still...). I think that working from outside donations and federal grants just makes more sense. Or maybe even excepting some money from some of the people you help after a while if they manage to get back on their feet.
No, but it is a great example of a situation, where:

1. Everyone knows things are broken.

2. Things can only be fixed by collective/government action.

3. The government could take action - but very explicitly, refuses to take action. (Because there are too many monied interests at stake.)
Not sure what you mean. There are 3 floors (as europeans define a floor, ie. anything ABOVE what americans call ground floor) and are named floor 1, floor 2 and floor 3.

So, no 0-based indexing here.

We call the house a "3-storey house" not because we zero index, but because the cardinality of it's floors (as europeans define a floor) is 3. In "3-storey building" for Europeans, 3 is the "length", not the last index.
Second! My prescription hasn't changed in 10 years, do I really need to keep going through this?

And recently, it seems like all the optometrists have started tacking on a $40 "contact fitting fee" that technically isn't part of the insurance-covered exam.
A colleague of mine actually invested in a work/living space for pretty much exactly this purpose. The idea being that the office is rented out completely (not a shared work space) and the upstairs functions as a hotel space. It has fiber internet and it's located in a beautiful place with access to plenty of activities (skiing, hiking, bars, dining). There doesn't seem to be a word for this type of modern "corporate retreat", but I'm sure there's a market for it. There are pictures online if anyone is interested. (https://wofrotahoe.com/)
> In some cases they might be a good option for short trips across congested urban areas

Well, if you need to get from an uncongested area to an uncongested area with a congested urban areas in between and no bypass motorway, and no accessible public transit maybe.

If either origin or destination is congested adding take-off and landing traffic is just going to make things worse.
That's awesome. Anything more than about a half diopter and you'll probably not get away with that in glasses. Contacts can go a little higher. I'm personally astigmatism sensitive, so I have to be spot on for degree and diopter.
> I also just compared how both browsers displayed HN main page. Slight differences in color of orange and font weight, but only noticeable if comparing both directly (and besides devs, who does that?).

So on the color thing, one of our designers noticed and I looked into it. Turned out to be an open bug report for Chrome(ium? I forget) where it's using the wrong color profile for css, and resulted in images not matching borders and backgrounds.
Kamala Harris's campaign logo is a disaster
Around here the store has some cheap frames they use for advertizing. The problem is they look like something a crazy old aunt would wear, with wild coloring. If you want anything like normal glasses you have to pay for the expensive brands. It’s really sad seeing institutionalized and less fortunate people wearing those cheap glasses...
OpenID (not connect) had a weird OpenID URL users had to care about. Mine was something something google something u8. Nobody cared. Sites like HN removed OpenID logins. OpenID died.

OpenID Connect just standardised the existing practice of being authorised to use an identity provider as a type of authentication.

You’re lucky. I could run so lean if I didn’t need to read emails using outlook and use Skype for business + slack for communicating with colleagues.

I’ve tried replacing slack with the wee-slack plugin for weechat but, while it works it’s far from a fully working solution and I still need to spin up a slack client sometimes.
Is the keyboard still wrong? Lenovo and Apple are the only companies that I know of that get Fn/Ctrl placement correct.

Older XPS13 wouldn't let them be remapped (Fn is handled in hardware / Linux kernel doesn't see it). If they fix this I'd buy one.

But as it is, the control key is further away from C, D keys than on a desktop keyboard. Unacceptable to me.
On some MBP configurations (I think the 13 inch model?), the USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports on the left and right side don't have the same capabilities.
LensCrafters is very expensive.
I just bought a pair of glasses of Warby Parker for 135 dollars. They will last me multiple years - how is this expensive ?
Can you actually provide examples of the complexity and upkeep? To my eyes, it seems like these would be easier to maintain than many ICE vehicles, if they're just batteries, electric motors, and some kind of lift-generating blades.
Your argument doesn't make much sense. What takes away people's profit isn't violence, but competition. When people get really rich it is because there was little competition. Bill Gates is ultimately rich because for software you are granted a monopoly by default which means other smart people can't de facto compete with you. You can't really on the one hand say companies like Microsoft and SpaceX are great, and on the other wish they make a lot of profit. Because that essentially means there will be less of them in the market.
> they cannot do what an LCD viewfinder can do which is to say completely "demo" what the final picture will look like (i.e. show the results of shutter speed and ISO settings).

I’m definitely not talking about an overlay. I’m talking live full demo view on the LCD screen. The mirror is “locked up” when the LCD screen is on and you get a preview of what the end result photo would be just like you describe isn’t possible.

From Wikipedia[0], here’s a list of the first model supporting live view of each respective series:

Canon: 20Da, 40D, 450D, 1000D, 1D Mark III, 5D Mark II, 6D Mark II, 7D

Fujifilm: FinePix S3 Pro, FinePix IS Pro

Leica: Digilux 3

Nikon: D90, D300, D700, D3

Olympus: E-10, E-330, E-30, E-3

Panasonic: DMC-L1

Pentax: K20D, K-7, K-x

Samsung: GX-20

Sony: A300, A350, A500, A55, and A77

As most of those cameras were released ~10 years ago and as the Wikipedia article indicates “there is no product line in which live preview has been abandoned after being introduced”, there are now probably almost a hundred models of dSLRs with live preview functionality, if not more. In fact, that article goes on to state:

Why is the 16GB RAM + FHD screen (1080p) variant not available in the US and Canada? It seems like this has been a long-standing issue since at least the 9360.

This is very frustrating since I don't need the 4k panel (in fact I don't want it for resolution scaling reasons) however I absolutely do need the 16GB of RAM.

Mind boggling.
Rich parents generally have rich children.

Let's take a look at Bill Gates' luck. He was at a private high school which was only of a few in the world that had access to super-ish computer. Not only that, he was given control access to do whatever he wanted.

Sure, he was talented, but if he hadn't been at that EXACT high school at that EXACT time, he wouldn't be a billionaire.

Billionaires need a shit of ton of things to go right and ALL their decisions need to work out almost perfectly.

Even when they "lose" something, if you became a billionaire, you found a much better opportunity right after you "lost" something.

The fact is the number one predictor of a person's income, health and net worth is their parents income. How do you explain that the extremely high correlation of parental income and children income?
That is awesome, I had no idea. Dumb question, do you know what the feature is called, just hot-swappable capable or something for when Im shopping?
To all of these types of acquisitions, my initial thoughts are always "At least it wasn't oracle"
I've been wearing glasses for over 25 years, the last 5 or so years I've been buying them from Zenni and it has been great. The best pair of glasses I've ever owned were about $25 from Zenni. I used to wear contacts a lot more until I got that one pair from Zenni. Now I wear contacts a few times a month.

I had to get a new prescription, so I went to a Walmart. After, they said that they could replace the lenses in my Zenni frames. It was going to cost me $180-240 just for the lenses!

I have never researched the economics of all this but there is an option for cheap glasses in the US that anyone with access to the internet can use. I wonder why people are still paying so much?

The conclusion from the article:

>Why do glasses cost so damn much?

>Because this industry has been getting away with fleecing people for decades.

That's all well and good but the fact that there ARE cheap options out there still begs the question, why aren't people using them?
Neat idea, thanks for sharing!

Playing devils advocate here. Do you have a vetting policy for whether filing for bankruptcy is a good idea, or encourage other steps to be taken by someone considering bankruptcy? Someone who is $2,000 behind on bills may be hurt more by the bad mark on their credit in the upcoming ~7 years. If they had some counseling on budgeting, debt payback could be realistic by digging in, taking on some marginal work, and reducing spending.

I would hope that the opposite condition (a green tick for a source you personally trust and a red mark for one you personally do not) would give you similar pause.

This sort of thing strikes me as a type of modern-day Star Chamber. Even if initially implemented by the right people with the right intentions, it wields enough power that inevitably it will be compromised in some fashion that makes it a threat to a free and open society.

I agree. I was surprised that the gap was so narrow. Only costing 25% less is not a favorable outcome for Philadelphia given how expensive Silicon Valley is.

If I can do Philly for $3.3m or SV for $4.5m, that's an easy choice. The valuation boost you'll get for being in SV instead of Philly will cover that several times over. The network and talent available in SV is worth suffering that gap all by itself. The only way that difference is a meaningful deterrent to choosing SV, is if you're not going to raise serious VC and will mostly bootstrap the business or otherwise raise smaller amounts of investment. In that case saving that money can make a big difference.
The difference is that back then there were experimental observations that couldn't be explained and that led to completely new branches of physics like general relativity and quantum theory. Right now that is nothing than can point the way. General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism are extremely successful with no obvious flaws (other than not always working well with one another) and the few things about which we have no clue (dark energy, dark matter, etc) are so removed from our capabilities that they're intractable.
> cannot be reversed easily

Do you mean via some kind of therapy or intervention, or in general?

I had pretty severe myopia 30 years ago, bad enough that I needed glasses in order to legally drive. But it steadily has gotten better, without any treatment. I stopped needing glasses to drive about 15 years ago, and now I have nearly perfect vision.

EDIT: I searched around a bit and indeed it seems that the consensus is that myopia never natural improves with age. But...whatever was causing my poor distance eyesight in the 1980s slowly got better. DMV records (granted, not high precision data) demonstrate it. So I don't know what to say.
Stephen Hawking said something to the effect that since the Higgs was discovered particle physics was less interesting. To him but not to me. Particle physics is better off than ever. Experimentally, things are going to change immensely. Deep learning revolutionize particle physics and it's only going to get better. Technology gets better. Regarding theory, I personally think particle physics is in that same awkward stage as calculus before Weierstrass, Dedekind and Cauchy made their pioneering discoveries in analysis. Even after that there was still much to do. That was just the beginning Lebesgue, Danielle integral, Moore-Smith convergence. We're at the very beginning stages of particle physics theory. Nobody even knows what the Feynman integral really IS. Most of the mathematics we currently use is sophisticated but in another sense, quite dippy. Even superstring theory is suffused with what we'll likely look back on as broken maths. All the easier discoveries have been made and now the game is going to be different. That's a great place to be.

Who's "they"? I'm having a hard time imagining people other than the most die hard public transit proponents or government employees of countries where few can afford cars saying that. Owning your own means of transit is something the wealthy literally everywhere do (though the minimum amount of wealth to do that is higher in e.g. Singapore than in Canada), if you're super wealthy you don't even drive it yourself.

I'm not criticizing public transit here (I'm a big believer in light rail) but your quote sounds like something out of left field.

> If you look at truly historical documents, such as Lewis and Clark's expedition, you'd learn that Native Americans killed Buffalo to an incredible degree.

And the Europeans built railroads and paid people to shoot them dead from trains specifically to starve natives. They pretty much wiped them out.

> The natives would slaughter the ENTIRE HERD at a time, in this case by scaring them off a 120-foot cliff. The natives wouldn't eat all of them, it was more important to kill all the buffalo so that no survivor could teach their friends how to avoid the kill move.

> The journal entry above describes how the natives managed to trick entire herds into jumping over a cliff. It involved dressing up in buffalo skins, and trying to start the stampede in the direction of the cliff.

And despite all of this there were still tons of buffalo around.

> In any case, the ills of our society are certainly great. But don't assume that the natives were better than us just because they were more primitive. In many ways, their ways were savage and wasteful.

I am not saying they were better than us, I am simply saying their way of doing things was having little impact on the planet whereas in our way of doing things is teraforming the planet. All the top soil is being depleted and we don't actually know how to replace all the stuff we're depleting we just take it as granted. We are sustaining 300 million people while the natives were sustaining maybe a million. Litany of things which are different and not conducive to long term survival.
> Back in pre-2007, there was no way for developers to build apps that needed to securely access user data in another service.

I understand there are cases and people when this is needed but as for me I bloody never want anybody to access my "user data in another service" and that's why I strongly prefer plain old email sign-up: in many cases if you sign-up with your google account the service will also request your contacts list, your personal details and everything and I never want to share these.

Nevertheless the single sign-in feature OAuth/OpenID provide seems very convenient (unless implemented improperly when the service would take your OpenID and still ask you to set a password, a login name and/or e-mail address) so I still use it for some services.
I disagree. He didn't ask that "don't most people know you need to fill up your car with gas once the tank gets low?" He made it seem like the fact that there is a high degree of uncertainty/estimation in genetic testing is common knowledge. We're talking about a society where half the members do not believe in anthropogenic climate change (note that I do not state the _degree_ of the change) and sizeable numbers of people (millions) don't believe in vaccination.

He said "Of course there will be errors when you have to extrapolate from a sample." The common man doesn't know what extrapolate from a sample even means!

I'm sorry but suggesting society as a whole understands genetic testing methods and techniques is just so far absolutely removed from reality (you're perhaps justified if you work for Illumina or are a faculty member of a University) that the point needed to be made even if harshly. Maybe I just interact more with "non hacker news" types than the average poster here, but that post quite frankly seemed so absurdly out of touch as to remind me of the Lucille Bluth quote from Arrested Development - "I mean, it's one banana Michael. How much could it possibly cost? 10 dollars?"

The mirror is for the small optical viewfinder window at the top. When you hit the button for live preview, the mirror is “locked up” and the main sensor powers a “live view” on the LCD screen which gives you a preview including aperture/iso/exposure/etc settings all applied just like on many mirrorless cameras.

The reason the small viewfinder exists is because it draws power to keep the sensor on and the mirror locked up. Keeping the sensor on for long periods of time can cause the sensor to heat up which will degrade picture quality (albeit not by a lot with current high end sensors, so the main reason is power draw). Historically the focusing and E-TTL sensors were also only on the same side of the mirror as the optical viewfinder, so you’d lose auto-focus and flash metering when the mirror was locked up, but that is generally not the case anymore.
My doctor did leave the PD off the prescription, but I just called the office and asked for it. To their credit, they looked it up for me in their records.

The parents income doesn't just magically create wealthy kids: money runs out. In the US, wealth controls the child's access to good education, and parental wealth may also result from good genetics (intelligence) or culture around wealth and investment.

An example: friend of mine isn't particularly intelligent, but she's wealthy because she knew the law of 72 and said no when offered a credit card (with compound interest like all credit cards) before her frontal cortex developed. Most young adults would say yes and immediately enter financial slavery.
