Sleep deprivation causes overeating.

Towards the end of the book The Hungry Brain, by Guyenet, there's a reference to research where both the sleep deprived group and the control group are let loose in the city and allowed to eat whatever they wanted, conditioned on letting the researchers weight and classify it first.

On average, the sleep deprived group ate around 300 calories more.

(sorry I can't produce the original reference, I don't have the book with me)
Children in some countries still have no access to education, and here some people are in awe that children skip school for nothing.

This is a bad joke.

If they want to be taken seriously they should protest outside school hours, that'd show their grit and motivation, instead of wasting the good fortune they have to be in school in the first place.
In American culture at least, guns and climate change have been ascribed to opposite ends of the political spectrum with "guns" on the right and "climate change" on the left, so people who support "guns" tend to doubt climate change and oppose any attempts to address it on principle.

That so many Americans believe the only thing keeping the US from descending into Stalinism is the revolver they keep loaded in their glove compartment, whereas climate change is a Chinese hoax meant to undermine American business interests, is due to the effectiveness of propaganda by corporate interests and the NRA.
>you might have a quadratic term A^2 cos^2(wt). If you remember your trig identities, you'll remember that two sinusoidal functions multiplied together decomposes into the sum of signals at the sum and difference frequencies: cos(w_1 t)cos(w_2 t) = 1/2(cos((w_1 + w_2)t) + cos((w_1 - w_2)t)).*

The DC component isn't the same as mass transport, because the system still returns to its original state every period of cos(wt). The amplitude of the DC (A^2/2) is also much higher than the one part in a thousand the article was describing.

X11 – WLC – libweston – wlroots: how the current Wayfire came to be
There are, of course, multiple factors. And Spain was in decine, for multiple reasons, as the Industrial Revolution was starting to cook off in the 18th century -- whether you put the start date at the beginning, middle, or end of that period doen't much matter: Spain missed the starting gun, and never really got back in the game until the 20th century.

As to what country took title -- I'd have to check an authoritative source, possibly Maddison's data if it has sufficient granularity, but my money would be on France or the Netherlands, rather than England, at least through about 1755 (Seven Years War).

And by the 19th century, it was previously unorganised states such as Germany who'd utterly surpassed Spain, whilst the (now United) Britain benefitted hugely by avoiding the revolutions and wars that wracked Europe through 1848 (and somewhat beyond), as well as control of India (providing saltpetre for gunpowder) and China (general trade, once the Brits discovered the balance-of-trade leveling properties of opium), Canada, and Australia.

Even modest shifting of fuels away from wood gave compelling advantages. Smil credits Dutch use of peat for prt of that nation's success. Transport systems, ag productivity, attitudes toward invention and discovery (Catholic Spain vs Anglican England & Protestant Holland), canal building, political divisions, domestic resource access, colonial access, etc., etc., all played roles.

But after 1800, ability to access an utilise fossil fuels came to dominate, frequently a self-reinforcing process.

Smil, Weissenbacher, et al, make for fascinating reading (see previous).
Don't beat yourself up! I think the problem is that there is so much FUD and inaccurate groupthink around GDPR issues. Whenever I have spoken to subject matter experts they have pointed out what you did that it actually is not that complicated.

But I guess that the average lawyer knowledgable on GDPR issues would struggle to sort an array even in O(n^2) time so what do they know...

I.e. all things are simple to those that understand them!
I’m speculating in that part of my argument, imagining counter-arguments. Sorry if that isn’t clear.

When I was working there, I’ve worked on custom visibility option (things like lists of friends, a feature that hardly anyone used; home city, languages had been occasional “Smart lists”). Those options were unsupported or become discontinued in some cases. There was a significant mental load to have more visibility options than ‘Friends‘ and ‘Public’, and very few reasons (as in: active users) to support more. One option that I felt really corresponded to a lot of people’s need was “Friends except Acquaintances”: ‘Acquaintances’ had become a really good shorthand for “drama-prone” relations. Yes, you are friends with them, they can see some activity from you, just not everything. They have no reason to think you’ve excluded them. It was discontinued and I never figured out why.

I can imagine the “Only me” option being changed because of someone, either working on an easier audience selector or trying to make bad-behaviour-detection faster, might overlook the need to have some information on the site not shared with your friends. The impact of visibility option on every aspect of the site is nightmarishly complicated, and genuinely hard to keep in mind to think about clearly. I’ve dedicated a decade to that, and I struggled. People who are officially very smart (Math Olympiad laureates, Mensa-type: not that those are proof of social smart, but they should understand formal reasoning really well) struggled. If you include blockages, it gets really hairy. If you include bad actor and impersonation, you will lose your sanity. The alternative that I suggested (that information is probably what hackers would look for, so hide it even from an authenticated user) is probably more likely, given the overall privacy-conscious of the company. In that case, that information changes status even more.

I’m not saying that kind of blatant or casual disregard for nuanced privacy control is not bad. God knows I raised hell before I joined the company and after about list support, and more. I even convinced a friend to join because he made a great tool to manage your list of friends. He joined the company before me, helped me a lot internally — but never even mentioned his tool to anyone internally because there was no appetite for it, inside or outside the company. Just to tell you how much: do you remember the fiasco that was Google Plus Circles? Well, after _that_ blew up, I had low expectations. This was lower.

The company moved to Groups, non-friends contextual entities, and that was I think a lot better in many ways.
A 9 day study includes only one weekend. In a study about weekends. One data point is never enough to make any inferences.
No, it's not possible, because the hash algorithm is not predictable (by design)

In order to mine some eth, you have to be able to solve the KECCAK-256 hash, and the difficulty is modified by setting a number of prefixed 0's that have to be present in the solution.

This is done by hashing strings, and eventually you will get an acceptable hash, but there is not a predictable relationship between the input string and the output hash, if there was, the entire process would be useless and blockchains wouldn't work.

In order for AI to be able to make mining faster, the Deep network would have to be able to take the hash and predict the input string, but this is impossible

It's not any horrible business; the developer wants to build lower density housing than the lots are zoned for; condos vs an apartment building. Part of my position is definitely rooted in "well, you should have taken care of this before starting instead of trying to strong-arm the township later on" and not necessarily the zoning issue itself; although I'm always a fan of higher density housing.

>No where we shot that weekend was anywhere near crowded. I almost always had miles and miles of pristine beach to myself. At this location, there would've been no one on that beach for 3-5 km in either direction, just 15+ dolphins playing in the waves.

Isn't this point a little disingenuous when you live in a country that's almost the size of USA or Europe, but only has 25 million inhabitants, and people from other countries have to travel far to get there?

Spain uses the wrong timezone. It should use UTC instead of UTC+1. The map in the article shows that pretty clearly. That's at least partially the reason people have dinner so late in Spain. It's not them that are wrong it's the clock!

Self-reported statements (about how someone feels) are good evidence for how they feel. In your example, if the claim is that your friend believes he is not drunk, then his experience still carries more weight (is a more reliable indicator of his beliefs) than most studies.

This is different from the question of whether he is actually sober, of course. But the post you're replying to is specifically about the claim that X person feels better, not about any physical effects on their body. I'd rather trust a person about how they say they feel (especially at a given moment), than studies trying to determine how most people probably feel or ought to feel in a similar situation.
You're not the first to question this. In other forums I've seen people state that archaeologists have a tendency to say ritual whenever they're not sure of something.

If it can be properly dated then it's unlikely regular people were living under a pyramid. But if it can't then it might as well be refugees taking shelter in the mayan ruins after its civilization collapsed.

I think he's flipping your point: sets are a subclass of dicts/maps, not vice-versa. Thinking of a maps as a set where it's value maps to something else sounds backwards because values in sets don't map to values arbitrarily (or at all in some cases); maps are maps.

"Religious site" always seems like a cop-out to me, like saying "we don't know what this was used for, must have been a religious site", but since I'm not an archaeologist or historian, I have to trust that the people who actually are those things know what they're doing and know how to determine if something truly was a religious site or not.
It intuitively makes sense for lists and strings, as those have an order that matters.

Sharetribe does this as a service, and I don't understand why they are not bigger than Patreon.

Before reading this thread, I had all but written off cryptocurrencies. This is the use case. Now the only thing missing is content compelling and unique enough for people to buy the tokens to access it.

Funny that it will be art that will do what gambling, drugs, money laundering, tax evasion, and black markets could not.
no that's fine, the goal is to have it seen and see what people think.

but it seems my understanding of how links get promoted is incorrect. When submitting links that have been shared hours/days (or sometimes weeks) before, then the submit usually takes me straight to the page of the original poster. It seems that there is a limit of how many links can be on the frontpage by a given user or something (but that too doesn't seem right considering that in Dec I had 4 links on the FP top 30 on the same day).

For long time I thought I understood this site but now it's clear to me I know nothing :)
Its not unreasonable, people frequently talk about hundreds or even thousands of tabs open here on HN.

I have 8 virtual desktops with different projects open, R studio and Jupyter notebook windows plus reference reading material. The work I do typically involves long running tasks and checking back on projects or doing some add on analysis. It takes way too long to get everything aligned right and started up on different monitors so this machine is always on.

I'd expect web browsers to be able to handle this without ui lag if the hardware is good enough. At this rate, I might run firefox in separate docker containers per virtual desktop just to keep it smooth. Would benefit security too...
VC funding is so overvalued, esp considering you don't need a money transmitter license to become a subscription service.

In python 2 items() returned list, and access to dictionary was blocked by GIL, so while array is prepared, dict couldn't be modified. So it is thread safe in Python 2. In python 3 you need to lock, but it's not always obvious until it bites you. You may think that you need threads only for parallel processing and it's easy and managed, but there are much more common cases when you may use threads – UI or third party toolkits like QT, which often run callbacks in their own threads. And there is no other way to protect items() except of locking, even if you would try to prepare array out of iterator to make it faster, any parallel thread could break it by modification.

For myself I found only one good solution. Subclass dictionary and create thread safe version of it with locks around all critical operations: modifications and reads. If you want to make it more efficient you need separate read and write locks.

> Academia has had their chance.

You can't say that. (Ok, of course everyone has the right to her opinions.) The point of the scientific method is that it is, in many ways, self-correcting. It's getting addressed, albeit slowly. It will be counterproductive for all of us if we simply dismiss all results we're not comfortable with that it's only publication pressure.

I mean -- you can say that personally, and it probably makes sense, but as a society we need to get social sciences and medicine into a better shape instead of just 'letting it go'.

> I am no less groggy in the morning. (No alarm means I wake up at 4AM or after 11 hours.) I am no more energetic. I sleep about the same number of hours as I did otherwise. Generally speaking, I noticed no physiological changes other than (a) craving sugar and (b) losing weight (due to cutting out alcohol and related foods).

For what it's worth, I have the same anecdote. I don't see any dramatic difference. Same with avoiding caffeine and I normally drink a lot of tea and coffee.

DST pushes the clock ahead of the sun and makes it bright longer into the night.

The idea that the amount of money you make working is in any way a 'measure of the benefit you provide society' is pathological. Many of those who provide the most benefit are paid a suppance.
> All seem to be about human rights and civic societies and so forth.

That is indeed what it says on the label, doesn't it?

Yet, most (if not all) of the supporters hail from countries that have an active (some may argue: notoriously aggressive) foreign policy towards Russia. At best, they all belong to a group of countries that (especially in recent years) has been known to be far from balanced and unbiased (regarding anything but their own interests, international law and human rights included).

Maybe (even) more telling, what's missing are the organizations from countries that do not belong to this "front against Russia" group of countries.

While most of these organizations claim to be independent of their host country's governments, many of them have a proven track record of going beyond their stated mandate, and actively promote (or even force) the political foreign policies of their host country, often under the guise of "humanitarian aid" or spreading "freedom and democracy". (use Google; it's not rocket science)

Just as a practical example (already mentioned partially by somebody else), USAID is supposed to be an independent organization, yet it operates subject to the guidance of the US President, Secretary of State, and the National Security Council. Can somebody open a dictionary and search for the meaning of "independent"?

I can/will not blame anybody for not believing me (fair enough), for I will not give specifics. But I have personally witnessed several of these organizations doing things (in particular in the South-East of Europe) that would get them into (legal) trouble if they would do the same "at home". At least on a personal level, that is enough for me to be suspicious about the real motives of these organizations. Maybe not so much regarding their volunteers, which I believe have (mostly) good (but often misguides/arrogant/brainwashed) intentions, but regarding the higher-up management, I am far less positive.

1) What is a Lead?
2) What is a Prospect?
3) What is an Opportunity?
4) What are the role of the Marketing & the Sales team and when/where do they interact with CRM?
5) Which terms of Marketing or Sales I should be aware of?
6) How does an organization utilize a CRM (case study)
7) How does Lead>Prospect>Sales flow work?

Stop calling artificial intelligence research an ‘arms race’
Nitpick: the U+2800 block specifically isn’t an alphabet. For example, U+2801 is called “Braille Pattern dots-1”. That’s like calling U+0069 “vertical bar with a dot on top”, rather than “Latin small letter I”

(Reason for that is that the dot patterns are heavily overloaded and even language specific. German digits are different from US ones, for example)
