Just to note, there are two kinds of sleep apnea.

The one you typically hear about that presents with extreme snoring is obstructive sleep apnea. It's pretty much as the name implies: sleep apnea caused by an obstruction. Your body tries to breath, but for a variety of potential reasons, your airway is obstructed. The snoring is your body's attempt at overcoming the obstruction.

Then there's central sleep apnea. With central sleep apnea, there's no obstruction blocking airflow. Your central nervous system just periodically... decides not to breath. Doesn't even attempt to contract the muscles necessary to intake or expel air. Then at some point, it... decides to start back up. There's no snoring or other loud noises involved like there is with obstructive sleep apnea.

They're both sleep apnea, and both have the same impact on the body if left untreated, but they present in almost complete opposite manners. Obstructive sleep apnea is loud because your body is trying real hard to do it's job. Central sleep apnea is generally pretty quiet, because its the absence of your body doing it's job. It just decided to take a little breather from it's typical life-sustaining duties, then (hopefully) after a ~10-30 second break it gets back to doing what it's supposed to do. The loudest you might hear is a bit of deep, heavy, or irregular breathing as it handles the backlog of oxygen needs that built up while it was on break.

I spent years being misdiagnosed with stuff like depression and hypertension, because I'm pretty much the exact opposite of someone at risk of obstructive sleep apnea (don't snore, not overweight, not old). It took paying for a home sleep test out of pocket and giving my physician the results before I finally got any traction from a doctor to explore that route. Turns out I have central sleep apnea, and treating that has been revolutionary on my life. I don't sleep through alarms anymore, I'm learning to love waking up early, I'm not mentally and physically drained at the end of the work day, and all kinds of little things.

You can order a home sleep test online for $150. And if you have an FSA, you can use your FSA dollars on it without even having to go through a doctor. If you're constantly dragging ass during the day, have a wonky sleep cycle, wake up randomly at night, or just happen to be curious. At that price, it's well worth taking a sleep test just to rule it out as a cause.

Big banks a such an easy target these days. Everyone in hates them and politicians love that because they can extract big fines. win-win-win. Until all the banks go under at least - US banks are mostly solvent still, European ones look like all the big ones will go under.
Per unit time, certainly. Though this may also be because slavery persisted for centuries and the e.g. Khmer Rouge would have never been capable of that.

You are describing the concept of "social norms" and "taboos" and "shunning" in a particularly convoluted and confused way.

You are talking about people being shunned and gossiped about like it is on par with being kidnapped by armed government agents and confined in a cell. Like going to jail or being killed and getting cancelled on twitter are close enough to the same thing that the same philosophical framework applies.

I'd suggest you back up and re-evaluate how you got here.
Let's extend that obvious line of thought: what would the basis of this division be?

What about the benefits reaped from the heterogenous nature of giant countries like USA? Are you willing to give all that up for this single goal?

All said and done, I strongly believe USA as it is moves the humanity forward considerably in the mid-long outlook. Hence my questions.

Am I wrong in thinking that the election of progressives who were vocally against AMZ HQ2 in LIC the reason mentioned by AMZ as well as NY State gov't (Dem) officials including Cuomo[1]? And not only that but progressives claimed "Victory"[2] at the announced departure. So it's like Author is trying to blame Capital but Progressives are claiming victory themselves for the pullout --which is contra.

Obviously AMZ was shifty in its (private) dealings with State officials, but you don't cut your nose to spite your face as progressives did.

This quote is fascinating and I think is indicative of the myopia in the article: "...Capital strikes we look at cases directed against leftist governments in weak and poor countries of the "global south". Capitalists stopped investing in Venezuela the minute Hugo Chavez became president..."

I think they began pulling out because he confiscated and nationalized companies and industries.

Also, VZ was the richest country in the South American continent --not the "poor" country, at the time they claim. Chavez and his pals made it poor.

There's so much dumb money floating around that too many "unicorn" failures are being propped up.

In the self-driving car area alone, we have:

- Cruise Automation. Showed a video of simple lane following and hyped it as self driving. Got acquired by GM for 1 billion. Claimed to have a production-ready car in 2017.[1] GM now trying to dump them.[2] Being propped up by funding from Softbank.

- Otto. Showed a video of a self-driving truck.[3] Turned out this was on an isolated road with lead and trail vehicles preventing any interference. Acquired by Uber. Valuation only 680 million, though. Used to hype Uber valuation. Self-driving technology so fake it killed a pedestrian.[4] Being propped up by funding from Softbank.

- Tesla. Showed a video of a self-driving car in 2016.[5] Turned out this was the one successful run from many tries. Full self-driving never seen again from Tesla. Softbank and Tesla discussed funding but Softbank declined.

Sure but that's roughly equivalent to disabling or not having 2fa. You can still avoid the catastrophic scenario by not-doing that.
Uh, what?

What you describe doesn't sound remotely feasible...
The 13th, 14, and 15th amendments were specifically written for the special case of newly frees slaves.

The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868. The total population of the US in 1870 was around 38 million. The total number of immigrants was around 2 million. The slave population was around 5 million.

The implications of the 14th amendment are clear today and they may even have been clear then. Nevertheless the most pressing, most politically salient issue was the newly freed slaves. In one day (the day after ratification) the United stares gained 5 million new citizens.

I would not be surprised at all if the people involved at what time were a tad bit myopic, with respect to the problem at hand.
I certainly don't think so.

There's a clause that explicitly bans religious tests for federal public office[1], and a landmark SCOTUS case clarified that state governments cannot do this either[2].

Cool project! I'm actually in the process of rebuilding my personal site as a static site and if I decide to add comments back in (I'm torn on this), this looks like it's going to be pretty high on my list.

As an aside, I was looking at your source on Gitlab, and if I'm reading your Dockerfile correctly, it's a really nice example of using multi-stage builds to build within Docker but produce a final image that doesn't have the full build system in it. This is something I'd been intending to look into for a personal project, so thanks for saving me a bunch of time. :)
For your first 2 bullet points, the technology and providers exist already, and it's somewhat of a big business. For my kids, we used ViaCord. The collection of the Umbilical cord blood cost us about $4k per child, and the storage is supposed to work for at least 20 years (most likely they don't claim more because they don't have the history to prove it, not because the cells will somehow denaturate at the 20y point).

Growth has been consistent for years, if you squint to smooth out big swings. It's linear, which is about how we like it.

Uniques are up to 4.5M or so per month, depending on how you count.

There's one intriguing exception to the linear growth: the number of submissions has been roughly flat since 2012. Comments, votes, accounts, page views, basically everything have all grown at about the same rate, but not submissions. I'm grateful for that, because we don't have any moderation capacity to spare. But it's interesting to speculate about why.
I suspect that the problem is less one of insufficient training data, and more one of excessively noisy training data.

There are three of these generators that have shown up on HN in the last few days—people, cats, and anime faces—and what the other two (more successful) ones have in common is that the things they're trying to generate all have the same basic shape and structure: that of a face.

The cat images in the training data are clearly just cats from every angle. There's much less of a clear structure for the neural net to recognize and reproduce.

That it's doing as well as it is is actually kind of remarkable, given that issue.
Some posts clearly deserve downvoting, for example trolling or spamming. I have however either made some controversial or unintentionally ignorant comments that have been downvoted. In those cases it would’ve been helpful to know why people thought an opinion or fact was wrong.
Someday you will be old, unable to accelerate like a car and keep up with traffic, and you will instead wish that you could ride on the sidewalk. Part of the reason why bicycle use is unusual is that very few people can ride well enough to be out in the road.
It's relevant if someone just claimed that being alive was the same as being squashed by a dinosaur, to stick with your metaphor.

Unfortunately, this conflicts with "the economy".

Many of us are getting paid to produce cancer-causing products, such as:

* processed foods (most of the things you buy in a supermarket)

* most shampoos, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, cleaning products, etc.

* paraffin candles

* cigarettes and alcohol

* components of all these products and the byproducts of their production

* not to mention shit done on industrial scale

* the air, if you live in a populated area

* and so on.

If you really want to reduce your and your family's chances of getting cancer, you're doing your research and doing a lot of work to move away from the mainstream (which is still stuck in 1950's level of knowledge) on these habits, but most people are not, and just blindly trust the government and oversight bodies to protect them because it's "easier" and "cheaper" and "they wouldn't allow it to be sold if it was harmful". Years later: Surprise!

This is true of nearly any country which had a real, actual, land war on its soil. Which is most of European countries, and especially the former USSR and today's Russia. As kids in Russia we burnt TNT for fun (or whatever the waxy thing was that's found inside artillery shells) and threw WW2 rifle rounds into bonfires. Only much later did I find out that TNT fumes are toxic.
That's on our list.

Tesla has media presence, an existing customer base and an existing distribution network. Even if they come to the party late, they're not unlikely to take a slice of the market.

Well worth reading on this topic is a book called "The Alchemy of Finance"[0] by one of the most successful investors in history, George Soros (successful like "made a billion dollars in a day" successful).

Soros contends, and I tend to agree with him, that the concept of equilibrium is a complete farce, is not supported by the evidence, and has no relevance to the way markets operate.

A good way to determine the conviction of economists (especially academic ones) with respect to any theory of equilibrium which they may have is to ask them if they have risked personal capital in situations to prove their theories (ie: if equilibrium is real, then why wouldn't you bet on it). The answer tends not to be yes.

We never had to bother avoiding any of the measures you deliberately subvert, because our mail was all legitimate.

Granted, doing a 'mail run' with that volume took about a week, but whatever.

If your (client's) recipients aren't all double-opt in, then what you're running could very easily be seen as irresponsible (and that's me being polite), no matter how much money it's making.
On second thought, I suddenly understand why "the evil government" is so common in science fiction. It's not only about the well-known libertarian-leaning political stance of those authors, but also an extremely useful literary device to check and balance the effect of hi-tech to create a dynamic balance of force in-universe to ensure stability.

In particular, in some stories, the government plays a relatively ambiguous role - still being the oppressor, but also has an important duty of fighting terrorism, so that the world won't just collapse so easily because of a few mad men, and the hackers can keep having their parties.

To reiterate my experience: Fought is an overstatement, but we worked hard to get 10 year options for our employees. No engineer we recruited or tried to recruit appears to have cared. They do care about valuation. That comes up all the time. This is across new and experienced engineers.

ps -- you can't blame founders for responding to the market. If potential employees overvalue unicorn valuations and undervalue 83b or long term options, well, I'm not capable of changing their minds. I sell to the market I have, not the market I wish I had.
Mmm, no, ConcurrentLinkedQueue uses the same RAM primitives as Rust can use (compare-and-set, compare-and-set etc) that are needed to implement concurrent queues. And it doesn't use Unsafe class (same as Rust's "unsafe" keyword) in it, it's easy to check.

Posted this here a few times in response to this q: I use an app that I made myself (http://write.itskrish.co), its defining features being:

1. you choose a fixed duration of time within which to journal (i choose 15 minutes even though it is initially tough to spend all of)

2. if you stop typing for more than a few seconds within the duration, you lose your writing

These constraints basically force me to dump anything and everything on my mind for the sake of continuous typing (to not lose what i've written), and I've been successfully doing it at least 1-2 times a week for a few years now.

Fair enough. Have a how.

Let's consider what would happen if self-driving started to really work. Take a look at Navya [1] and Local Motors [2], both of which sell electric mini-buses which can cruise around an small controlled area such as an airport parking lot or college campus. They're slow and limited, but they are actually carrying a few passengers without a driver on board.

Are those companies unicorns. No. They seem to be valued for what they actually do. Which is replace a small number of low-wage employees with expensive hardware that requires extensive support infrastructure.

Think of what it looks like if this really works. They get a few major airports signed up for "transportation as a service". Their mini-buses go between terminals, out to long-term parking, and out to rental car lots. Fine. So now, at each airport, you have to have a garage, maintenance staff, a control center, and some arrangement for dealing with problems. All the same plant as a regular bus operator, plus the high-tech part, plus it has to be close because these things can't drive some distance on regular roads to a garage or parking lot.

It's "transportation as a service", which means you have to pay for all problems. Which will happen. You'll have people cleaning off graffiti, fixing corroded sensors in winter, towing in failed vehicles, and dealing with angry riders who missed their plane. All you've saved is the cost of the drivers. So you're probably not making big money off this.

It's so much easier at the hype stage. You don't even have to perform, let alone survive on your own cash flow.
