>> Is there an established link between nicotine and (lung) cancer?

Chemically, no. Epidemiologically, yes. In the real world, the more nicotine a person consumes, the greater their risk of lung cancer. We know that it isn't because of the nicotine per se, it is more likely all the other junk in cigarette smoke, but the lack of a direct chemical link doesn't mean there isn't a solid scientific link. (Vaping also involves lots of unknown junk, just different junk. Inhaling hot random chemicals probably isn't a good idea either way.)

With lots of medical "links" the specifics of the biology can remain mysterious while still being sound science. The link between aging and cancer isn't fully understood, but any doc anywhere would say that cancer risk increases with age. We don't need to completely understand the mechanism to recognize and react to the evidence.
Hmm... tempted to try a tiling window manager again (tried i3 a few years ago, but couldn't really see the utility at the time), since I just got a big 32" 4K monitor for my dev machine. I've caught myself starting to manually arrange all my windows into "tiles" anyway, now that I've finally got the screen real estate to do it :)
From Employee to Bootstrapper – How I Prepared My Finances Before Bootstrapping
Investor returns are capped at 100x, thats quite a high cap for a non-profit.
This is very similar to PowerShell. But CMD.EXE just kills it for me.
I get it entirely. It’s people from the red flavor of the political spectrum mocking people on the blue end who find themselves in tough times.

Here’s the thing. I grew up with the red end. These people just loooooove to bitch about everything. Bitch bitch bitch all day long.

Yet when you suggest a solution that isn’t what their daddy did or what their friends are doing they balk. Worse, if you look like you’re trying to rise above your station you’ll be actively mocked if not hindered for funsies.

2019 I don’t give a shit that they think they’re clever by flipping the script on people in blue land. Hilariously some of those journalists will probably land in tech land and do just fine, the skill sets are complimentary.

Red land? Fuck em. They made their beds long ago. Let them sleep in them.
I too am curious to see the comparison. However, Amazon is the largest public company in the world. How much more does it need to grow before employees are treated well?
One of the original starcraft games accepts 11111-...-11113 (I don't remember how many places, but all 1's and then a 3 or 4).

The fitness tracker defense is dumb. A hacker skilled to the point of finding 0days in their systems can just script the hacks while you sleep.

However the fitness tracker defense in conjunction with mac-user and going to apple store for help tells me she's tech dumb, location data turned on for pictures. I highly doubt there has ever been another PHD veternarian who is also a skilled hacker with this level of techdumb still happening.

She might be dating or know someone who is hacking... but you don't get to being a PHD student without knowing your field. Your teachers would know if you're dumb.
Juuls have been great for me. Been smoking a pack every 2-3 days for the last 2 years. I tried vaping but it gave me a headache for whatever reason. Tried juul recently and I went without smoking for a few weeks. Improved my breathing a whole lot. Unfortunately I am using both juul and cigarettes now, but I am smoking a pack every two weeks or so since I am okay going days without smoking, which is a big improvement.
China Daily is in their "Least biased" category despite the fact that it is an English language publication owned by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and published by People's Republic of China. I think I have a different definition of bias as Media facts, which seems to be entirely focused on Left/Right biases.
> A VP may be a corporate officer, but probably isn't.

I'm going to need a cite for this, it's not the majority rule. If it's limited to banks then it's not clear why I've served numerous VPs at bank branches and it would be a cinch to knock them out under FRCP 4 if they weren't officers yet it doesn't happen.
You have a point about quality, but I don't think that there is anywhere in the US where the CO2 emissions from growing warm weather crops under artificial lighting are lower than those of importing said crops from places where they can grow outdoors.

Growing under artificial lighting can produce crops that don't need to endure prolonged storage and shipment. Some people will pay a flavor-and-quality premium for things like fresh tomatoes, salad greens, and herbs that can be grown this way near the point of consumption. But the bombast about remaking the "global food system" this way is ridiculous. The vast majority of crops, measured either by dollar value or by calories eaten by humans, are not going to be grown this way. For most crops it would greatly increase the cost and the fossil fuel consumption if they were grown under artificial lighting, and there wouldn't even be a corresponding quality improvement to motivate buyers.

The article even says as much:

In fact, all things considered, says Mark Bomford, director of the Yale Sustainable Food Project, “it’s generally a lower-impact proposition to move food around the planet than to move the climate.”
oh hey we did this too
I've been using sway since the 0.15 days. I switched to the 1.0 branch about 6 months ago, and watching the rate of improvement has been amazing. I haven't used an xorg system in over a year now. I'm very excited about this release.
What does better gesture support mean in this case? libinput works with X too and it can be used to enable some kinds of touchpad gestures there
But there's nothing different between your workflow and my workflow except you have to manually resize your windows on each workspace. Sway just does it for me and I can save the layouts.
I never claimed that a large swath of people are racist and live in backwater, but I seem to have implied it by using a few apparently cliched critiques that carry connotations beyond what I intended. The thesis of my original comment is "foreigners are more likely to feel at home where other foreigners live" in the US, and posited some of the possible reasons. SF
and other cities where the immigrant community is very visible aren't prejudice free, but you're less likely to be prejudiced against for being foreign, and even then it does happen. Also, there doesn't need to be a majority or even a plurality of people with racist views in an area for people that are the target of those prejudiced views to feel unwelcome. I was divorcing this from the larger discussion that the US has around diversity.
Hello, Drew!

Thanks for responding.

Having watched the video, it seems like we could do a "pop-in" terminal (which is how guake and tilix already do their "drop-down" mode because they let the WM actually do the drawing), but a true "drop-down" terminal a la Yakuake or the old id Quake consoles would require some additional functionality, since you'd essentially have to re-draw the application window at Y Pos +10 each time to give the effect of a moving window until it reached its final point.

Is that possible?
A better assumption is to look at the average age of first birth as the 'lifetime' for dating. That age is 28 for the average US female.

Assuming that you enter the marriage market at 18, you then have 10 years to find a partner.

Assume that you have a girl/boyfriend and are 'serious' with them, likely meaning sexual activity. The average number of partners in the US is 7.2

From the optimal strategy in the Secretary problem, you should be 'serious' for ~37% of the time that you have available to date.

Running through the math here, you have 6.2 partners (assuming that you stick with the most recent one for childbirth) over a 10 year dating lifetime. Assume that everyone magically follows the optimal path. That means the trial-time of a 'serious' dating partner is ~7 months and 4 days, on average.

So, if you were to be totally average and also follow the optimal dating strategy, meaning that you dated for 10 years and had 7 serious relationships, you would date 6 people before settling down, and each of the 'calibration' people would last about 7 months from partner to partner.

That sounds reasonable and very similar to a lot of personal anecdata. I've seen a lot of people do ~half a year flings through their college years (18-22) before settling down with someone in the last year of college or thereabouts.
This is what scares me about the push toward fly/drive-by-wire.

At some point your designs start breaking into envelopes where the machine cannot be considered safe once the automated systems fail, making your pilot/highly trained human being powerless in the face of catastrophic system failure.

An uncontrollable tool is not a tool, but a coffin waiting to happen. I don't think any type of "routine" transit system should be designed in a manner such that it so thoroughly overwhelms a human crew's workload that it should be so dependent on automation that it cannot be certified otherwise.

To reword: if it can't be safely flown with the computers off, it probably should not be a design we allow for people transport. Markets be damned. When your margins include human lives lost, economy needs to stop being your primary optimization. Dollars should only be important after you stop being a corpse factory.

I can't tell if you were aware by your comments, but in a tiling window manager you don't have to have everything visible all the time. They all have modes that hide windows behind others and allow you to swap between them the same as alt-tab. Many of them also have the option to 'float' the windows as a normal non tiling window manager would.
Exactly. This is analogous to "the dose makes the poison" and "everything in moderation".
This is really cool ahmadassaf - Thank you for sharing! I'll definitely branch it and have a play around. Keep up the great work :)
(HN thinks we've overdit it. This goes to your comment below).

But, I'm a human being. Why do I need to show you my representation to
convince you I possess human understanding of language?

Conversely, to claim that a statistical model possesses understanding is a
very strong claim that requires equally strong evidence. And since we can
inspect a statistical model's representation- that is where the evidence
should be sought.
I don't have any statistics for you, but Google at least is looking to improve on this a bit. A good friend of mine from their NYC Brain office moved to Accra, Ghana just last week to help build out their new office there.
Oh I assumed that someone would do it. I just didn't expect it to be AWS. Elastic is popular enough and the core open source license permissive enough that I expected some sort of fork eventually. The license of the original project is an important factor in this. For example, I wouldn't expect a fork of MongoDB because of the limitations of the AGPL license make it less appealing. With that case I'd expect what AWS already did, which was to create an API compatible system. Also notable is that they're not open sourcing that.

With Elastic, this looks like it's half marketing on AWS' part. They want to start repairing their image in the OSS world so they say they're doing this for the community.
You mean like free software/open-source? Don't know about other people, but I don't tend to leave my home all that much, so flowers outside town hall, clubs, libraries etc. are all things I don't care all that much for. Maybe that has to do with it.
So you want to go to an app. You just hope that some corner is peeking out of that huge unsorted pile of windows. You call that good UX or is it just a formed habit?
What I learnt building and selling my first application (2018)
Exactly.

And the reason why this matters is that the dating that matters is the dating from when we can have children to when we're done. So if a woman starts seriously dating at 20, and is done with kids by 35, then somewhere around 25 is indeed the proper cutoff.

Men can have children longer, but at some point don't want to.
They aren't and I was being flippant

"Emailed someone where a call would be better?"

There are no such circumstances. Fuck voice calls.
I don't hold the same opinion. Being detached helps you to remain objective and consistent. Focusing on the process which creates the outcomes, gives you a means to improve in an objective way. That is why people have widespread religious debates about tools and methodology, but less so about outcomes. Certain tools and techniques work well and lead to better outcomes overall, they just can't be applied to all situations. Learning when to apply what technique to a given situation is what maturity and wisdom are. You gain that through failure or though guidance.

This isn't to say outcomes don't matter; but from a practitioners point of view, they matter only so much as they inform those involved on what works and what doesn't. In general, measure what you care about, but be careful because you WILL get more of what you measure and there are often unintended consequences (cobra effect).

You can float windows in i3 if you wanted to do this. I also have a hotkey to make my window 80% transparent so I can reference docs while keeping my editor fullscreen.

But yeah, if that's your big use case, seems like you just prefer non-tiling workflows.
WTF kind of candidate answers this in an interview:

> I'm not sure it's toxic. Ideas can't hurt people, not really.

Jesus said "The truth will set you free."[1] The corollary is that lies make you a slave. Ideas can definitely hurt people - especially ideas that are believed.

In this context, the idea that I need to learn to code could be very harmful if I believe it, devote time and money into learning how to code, and find out that I can't code well enough to get a job (or that I hate it). Now I'm out a bunch of time and money that I could have spent learning how to do something else that fit me better.

Even worse is if I conclude that "coding = success, not being able to code = failure", and therefore that I am currently a failure, and a permanent failure if I fail to learn how to code. That can be massively harmful.

The meme itself isn't a big deal. Directing some smack talk at the media is completely fair game. If someone takes the meme seriously, however, it can definitely hurt people. (Don't take career advice from memes. Even more, don't take advice as to your identity or value as a human being from memes.)

Talk about crocodile tears. She was a VP at Google FFS! I could probably live work-free for 10 years on just a year of her compensation. Money may not buy happiness but it buys lots of time—time for hobbies, retirement, whatever else fulfills you. The source of fulfillment does not necessarily have to come from your job!

I know this isn’t popular here but “I’m making $500k a year in an air conditioned office but I’m sooooo sad” is a problem that 99.9% of the planet would trade places for in a heartbeat. Sorry, but some perspective is sorely needed.
> If you're still using a single server, you're doing something horribly wrong

This is so far from the truth. If you built your (fairly new) app, especially a new app, such that it requires multiple servers, then you're overthinking infrastructure at a time when you don't need it. Having multiple servers is great, but having a lean app that can run on a single server requires a different skillset. You don't need HA, multi-AZ AWS deployments behind a load balancer with route 53 DNS load balancing powered by auto scaling fleets with ci/cd jenkins and slack chat ops when you only have a small number of users.
Nonsense. The water in a hookah cools the smoke, but doesn't really do much filtering, and it DOES NOT remove nicotine. Hookah smoke is fairly low in nicotine, but that's because most shisha is "washed" to remove most of it's nicotine -- kind of like how decaf coffee still has a trace of caffeine in it. Try an unwashed shisha some time, they're out there.
Remember that these statistics are specifically from Amazon warehouses, and not from Amazon warehouse workers calling from home. We'd need statistics on calls from workplaces. A quick google scholar search finds suicide rates [1] in the workplace which are significantly lower than what you cite as general suicide rates. I couldn't find any data on 911 calls, so we can't really draw any statistical information from this data.

>>Incidentally, these end up being taxed more favorably than options, so we think this model may be useful for startups for that reason too.

Is this due to long term capital gains? Do you allow for early exercising for employees? Long term cap gains for options require holding 2 years since you were granted the options and 1 year since you exercised.
I really don't get it why people like gaps so much, yes it's look pretty, but in my opinion it is as much waste of space as window drop shadow. I would like to have as much screen real estate as possible to be used to show information, that's the whole point to use tiling wm in the first place for me.
I have no specific knowledge of this case, but I live about two hours south of where it occurred so I'm somewhat familiar with the culture of the area.

It strikes me as highly likely - especially given the fact that there was one bag that was searched by a single officer alone in the room with the patient - that there was in fact marijuana in their possession, and that the officers overlooked it.

If they're called by the hospital, they respond. Most of the police officers I know^† would be likely to judge a situation like this with compassion, not necessarily a black-and-white view of the law. Either refusing to search the room or acknowledging the existence of a controlled substance and refusing to act would put their career at risk; going through the motions of the search and "missing" it would give plausible deniability.

†: I'm no fan of cops in general, and certainly no "police apologist". I'm an Ancap, and both distrustful and resentful of police. I'm also a human being, though, and judge others based on their individual actions. I know a number of officers, some of which I consider fairly close friends. I don't agree with their choices, but am intellectually honest enough to recognize that they do in fact have a large positive impact on the world around them, and do what they do out of a sense of honor and duty to their fellow Man.

"Distribution" is definitely used w.r.t. describing different Kubernetes offerings - e.g. https://www.cncf.io/announcement/2017/11/13/cloud-native-com...

Likewise for the Hadoop project: https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Distributions%20and%20Commerc...

I guess you could argue that "distro" has a distinct meaning to "distribution" with the former specifically pertaining to linux distributions, but I think most people probably just interpret it as being shorthand for the latter
My naive hypothesis is that health problems are only going to get worse because we've killed the fundamental constant force of improvement in nature: natural selection. Industrial countries people have way weaker health and more health problems than countries with bad health and hygiene systems. I'm definitely not advocating for a Social Darwinism but our genetics will only get worse in the context of an ever changing ecosystem that surround us. Sometimes we think we live in a bubble outside of the ecosystems but we don't. If we don't find a solution for this we're definitely doomed.

Be careful about burying this in stats without context.

Of the 1.4M attempts, how many are expressed at work in the context of working conditions? People handle different kinds of stress in all sorts of different ways. How many threats of suicide are made annually? Way more than 1.4M.

In the context of taking away agency from employees, serious suicidal threats are one extereme expression of stress. I’d be curious how many employees are taking a crap in the workspace deliberately, what the incidence of sex at work is, rates of theft, preventable injury, etc are.
>> "The porn market is very diverse, there's plenty of loving/reasonable porn, you just have to work to find it."

Very true. Furry porn is overflowing with loving expression. It might not be coincidence that most furry artists (and furries in general) are something other than cisgender and heterosexual men.
