I've certainly had songs I've overheard appear in dreams.

Weirdly enough, despite it being lucid dreaming and I'm fully aware that I'm dreaming, I have no recognition of where the music is coming from until I wake up.
> single-digit percentage of denisovan DNA in any modern humans

is likely a wrong description. We share around 90% of DNA with pigs, cucumber and what not (figures estimated, I'm not into Bio).
You're comparing Apples and Oranges. Or Apples and THinkpads. Non-Mac machines always had better battery life.
> I have seen zero proposed solutions or ways of combating the rise of white supremacists

No, you have only missed them. The solution is exactly free speech and more of it. These days people are often suppressed when they voice a concern that touches certain topics, i.e. immigration, religion and particularly Islam, anti-semitism, rapid changes of demographics and many more. Media oppression and flat out censorship do not make a stop to the opinions they try to suppress. They just drive them away, to hidden forums, to non-mainstream platforms, to dark web.

So instead of shunning white supremacists from media - tolerate them on and challenge them with arguments, explain how they are wrong, educate them, ridicule their nonsense; but never censor them.
That’s two websites. If you asked 1000 people about 4chan maybe 25% would know what is and would say it’s a troll website if they even what what it is. I think less know about 8chan. The media has driven so much traffic to the site. It’s almost as if they want people to radicalize because it will make great news. I digress just because we know what 4/8chan are I doubt most internet users do or care. we shouldn’t sign off on whole sale internet censorship because of 2 websites. Right?
You ever see the OA on netflix?

Honestly depends what you are building. If it is just a website then stick to Ruby on Rails or nodejs. Don’t worry about patterns or writing correct code. Just get it working. After that hire someone to help you host it online. It’s doable but best if you have someone more advance to help you out. It’s a full time job for a reason.

As a entrepreneur though, I would say don’t do it. It’s obviously not your strength, so focus on task that you have impactful value.
That guy skipped right over the comment about collective action. For people that don't have the system pre-gamed for them the only why to fight back to prevent being exploited is collective action. Or taking lots of risks and being lucky.

I'm not a take big risks and hope to be lucky kinda guy.
I don’t like everything about Richard Stallman but damn was his wiriting (in the 90’s!) about this trend prescient.

Facebook and YouTube would sure as f--- fix this problem if, you know, it was the law that they hold liability for any and/all content that was hosted on their platform that they were, you know, profiting off of by displaying ads next to said content.

But that would require regulations which is bad for job creations or something.
MacBook Pro keyboard replacement is a nightmare it's a 3-hour process search up the videos on YouTube you have to undo about 50 screws. The sooner you realize that Apple only makes throw away shit the better off you'll be in life!

But it continues to be featured and replayed to large audiences to this day, so that excuse doesn't really add up.
That's incorrect. The tax rate is lower for lower income thus they pay less proportionally.

If you look at what I listed—sales tax, excise tax, meal taxes—those are the same whether you’re rich or poor, except they have a disproportionate impact on the poor.

Poor people do get most of what they pay in income tax back once they file but that’s not the case for these other taxes.
>"Oh but far-right voices are still allowed, it won't be fair if I silence women's activists"?

No, but they'd need to pass laws and fight court battles to enable censorship versus merely taking over existing systems of censorship. The latter is much easier to do and much harder to notice or right against. Especially when merely fighting against it is grounds for censorship.

>Yes, but on the other hand, the prevalence of far-right dialogue contributed to the rise of far-right politicians.

Depends on the scale you look at. In a sense, the far right is merely the average person's view as of 50-ish years ago. Censoring to the view of the average person merely ensures that in 50 years you'll be seen as having helped far right ideas. Or in a different way, I don't believe that my current views are the pinnacle of progressiveness (or morality or whatever) and I am loathe to prevent future progressives from being able to push their views forward.
Unique Local SEO Service on Oahu
OK, that sounds more reasonable. The help page made it sound that unable to remove for not being uploaded by oneself - therefore have no archive ID or account to associate with was the most likely response.

Mostly I appreciate hugely what archive.org does, though like the root comment, I'm much less keen on ephemeral social networks preserved. Especially as most users will never see an announcement on a specialised reddit sub or HN, so will never know it wasn't all deleted like Google announced. Yes, I know it's not sensible to rely on no copies, but most naive users probably assume that. :)
Hi. Do you work there? Is there a way I can reach out to you?
Grainy helmet cam can be highly produced propaganda. It seems fairly clear the guy had a social media strategy worked out, of which a live stream was an integral part.
I'm on the technology side, but I review and interview candidates pretty regularly. Unless you have an actual notable repo with stars or something (and I've literally never seen a candidate with stars on a repo) then I don't care. Maybe if you have a cool picture of yourself?
Good point.

I created a graph with these attributes:

0 total += hash (XXH364)
1 seed += hash (XXH364Seed)
2 seed += hash, val += hash (XXH364SH)

https://gist.github.com/injinj/138543ccc6a23ceb1fcdc05f46288...

There are weird bumps at some key sizes with City and XXH when the key is updated with the previous hash. My guess is there is some underlying cache line latency added when the key is written to.

smhasher should really have a test for good seeding. As I understand it, bad City seeding was the reason people started using SipHash.
This sounds just like California-style transit planning: they have a road network that’s so screwed up you can measure the economic drag, and laughably slow / disfunctional trains.

The article estimates the problem is only a 2% drain on the Romanian economy.

The SF Bay Area economy is surely burning more than 2% due to multi-hour commutes, distorted property values, lack of non-tech workers to support basic infrastructure (like schools and fire stations) etc, etc.
What are the aesthetic consequences of having a more developed jaw from chewing tough foods as you grow? Given how sensitive people are to cosmetics when it comes to their teeth, would doing this to your child positively impact their dental outcomes at the expense of conformance with modern norms of physical attractiveness, given trends like how having a small face is seen as attractive in Asia, or soft jawlines for women?

I pose this since it is likely many people would worry about aesthetics more than actual dental health, and also because the social consequences of being/not being conventionally attractive can have significant impact on people's lives as well, so answering this sort of stuff is probably necessary for actual behavior change.
Death, dismemberment and destruction used to be a part of people's lives.

They're not now and I think we don't value life as much because most of us don't know how abrupt and cold death actually is.

I'm not sure how Facebook stores media assets.

But it would be stupid to duplicate a video for a shared post more than once. A one to many relationship (one video used by multiple shared posts) is more likely.

If that's the case it should be easy to delete the original video, then all of the shares loose their content.
It is entirely possible. I'll have to be more cognizant next time it happens and catch myself if that's the case.
I am currently writing C++ code. The vim plugins I am using are YouCompleteMe, Syntastic, UltiSnips and TermDebug. In combinations these plugins give me most functionality that an IDE has.

Like I said, Clion (which is a JetBrains product) has some great functionality which goes beyond that. The one I found the most useful is the refactoring functionality. I actually opened Clion just to refactor some code on Friday. But it also has drawbacks. I am working a very large codebase and Clion is very slow.

The weight issue I certainly agree with - my G3 is big and heavy, whereas my MBP is small and light. I also mostly dock my laptop, but I still spend a lot of time undocked (probably 15-20 hours a week).

my Apple Watch series 2 is quite accurate. I've hooked myself up to a cardiac monitor (I'm a paramedic, and sometimes do this as an equipment test anyway) and it was spot on.
It takes about 6 months to be technical enough to get a first job as a developer, and then another 18 - 24 months of working full time as a developer to learn enough to have the basic skills necessary to build a product. So no, 3 months probably isn't enough.
The irony is not lost on me...

It’s worth mentioning there’s a selection effect that takes place where the companies mentioned are successful, so the employees have more cash on hand usually to make the jump to their own venture without the normal risk attached. (E.g. - most should be able to float their own finances for 12-24 months without needing to take money out of cash flow)

I have a couple buddies who have started their own thing out of Uber and they’re doing well. The issue I see is it’s going to be pockets of companies around the gig sharing economy for Uber and similar items in rental/real estate for AirBnB.

Employees of both companies have solved some really tricky problems, and they know they can use their experience to solve another set of problems + make it easier to raise money for their venture.

Also - I do appreciate you qualified your post with SV being the lead in software companies. I think that’s still true and SV will be the lead for a long time but other cities will be cheaper + you don’t need to be in SV to find great talent anymore and you don’t need to be there to raise good capital. If you have an idea that’s solid and a decent team you’ll be able to find fundraising but it’ll be interesting to see if software stays in SV and we see the software related but more physical goods startups relocate out of SV.

SaaS businesses are so much less capital intensive than hard goods based businesses so I’d imagine those companies don’t start in SV so they can has less expenditures in areas that don’t matter.
Let’s starts with the basics -

I'm competing for state-of-the-art speed and I use Rust. Libraries like Rayon are really helpful compared to things like OpenMP, which we wouldn't ship.
I learned this when taking Vitamin E for an injury. I would have dreams that I remembered when I woke and that is unusual for me. I tried to buy vitamin E for the purpose, recently, and failed to reproduce the result.
I'm curious if someone would know where to point me?

There's many problems I would like to solve using some sort of model definition with constraints given, and variable(s) to optimize. Either to aid in guiding the design of a system, or using generative design.

Example:

- Electrical power, voltage and amperage constraints along with physical size constraints, in a circuit model.
- Data size and throughput and concurrency constraints in a distributed system models.

I have a feeling there must be well known techniques and/or tools to do these kind of general purpose constraint modelling, but I can't put my finger on it. The closest that comes to mind is using Prolog, but I've only used it with boolean type of constraints.
Do you mean the plugin that is built in or is there different one?
Then you'd just turn these social media platforms into the best recruiting tool for terrorist groups of all kinds with complete control of the narrative.
Joe Armstrong Interviews Alan Kay (2016)
That abstract seems very intersectional. The scientific bankruptcy of research that tow the intersectional line, such as papers that are similar to the sokal hoax papers, have demostrated that papers and programs towing that line is with all likelihood politically motivated.

It is therefore reasonable to treat this kind of academic papers exactly as what it looks like, basically as politically motivated reasoning useful only to people that believe in those ideological tenets. Basically, as a secular theology for the intersectional faith.
I have the issue where if I'm stuck on a problem and try to sleep on it, I wake up as tired as if I had stayed up working. My brain seems to never completely shutdown and rest. Have you ever experienced that? Any suggestions?
But trolls are smart and don't share, they reupload.

Which is still easy to catch if you hash the video. But doing something like mirroring or otherwise making a small tweak to the video breaks that hash lookup. Hence 20% making it through.

Counterintuitive lesson we can learn from the Boeing 737-MAX grounding
Vim 8.1 ships with a GDB plugin (TermDebug).
Already have a license for an older version of that.
I loved this book back in the day—it even came with its own barf bag.

But how things change. This was before macOS became BSD-based and before I really got into web development because today, I spend so much time at a shell prompt inside of the Terminal app. I certainly appreciate the elegance of Unix a lot more today.
I would be interested in an organizational investigation of Boeing, the FAA and the airlines similar to the investigation of NASA after the Challenger disaster.

I keep reading comments that it was just corporate greed or just regulatory capture or Boeing should’ve just built a new plane. But I suspect it’s not that simple, and that there are lessons to be learned beyond what the crash investigations uncover.

For example, from reading the Wikipedia on the 737 Max it sounds like Boeing was pressured by the airlines into producing the Max after Airbus was able to ship a more fuel efficient 320.

Usually you expect competition to lead to better products so it would be somewhat ironic if the competition from Airbus is what forced Boeing’s hand on producing the Max. Without that pressure maybe Boeing could have told the airlines to back off while it produced a new design.
Some vim keys I use a lot that seem not to be mentioned too often:

{ and } to go back and forwards a "para"

^U and ^D to up and down a half a page

{ and } are particularly useful with verb keys such as y, d, < and > (outdent and indent). And ! (bang) to reformat text with `fmt`

I cry a little inside when I see people go through pages with the j,k or up and down keys.

My son spilled milk on our 2015 MacBook Pro. Apple wanted $1,100 to fix it. it took two separate shippings to New York but Louis rossmann fixed it for $550. You need to wake up, grow up, and grow a brain. Apples excessive greed is real. the fact that you were lucky and haven't dropped or spilled anything on your laptop in The last 5 years is not evidence that apple is a great company!
More than likely, that app is used to either launder funds or get money out of stolen credit cards.
Those poor Phoenicians, expertly conducted a long and dangerous voyage of exploration, and afterwards most of their contemporaries probably thought they were lazy incompetent liars who wasted time for a few years before coming back.
It's not an easy problem to solve if you want a system with an instant response for the poster.

But if I am a journalist and I want to get something published it will take at least a few hours to get it through an editor of some kind. FB could do this even just for video. When a user pushes something up it takes a few hours to be published. It would cost FB because some users wouldn't use it without that instant hit.
The old x60 mainboard was a single part. I don't know about the x61.

It's not a big issue, but makes assembly pretty annoying because everything sticks out: There is no screw-hole from the lower casing in the extra attachement, and the flat connector cable has enough tension that the entire contraption bulges out and flaps around, until everything is fitted together. Or maybe I am just bad at this kind of stuff.

Just praising with faint damnation, really.

It would be so awesome if someone in the 51nb circles made an attempt to make money by properly marketing their stuff: make ordering easy in the west, possibly sell pre-assembled modded barebones (screen mod + 51nb mobo + new battery in place, chassis bought in bulk in china), put some modest markup on top and try to sell in the 10k units instead of the 100s. There really are a lot of people who think t60/x60/x220 are the pinnacle of laptop design and would love to get a machine with similar quality but modern hardware. The set of people who are motivated to spend their time modding is much smaller.

I am under no illusions that you could sell enough modkits to recoup engineering costs, if this was a truly commercial product. But you don't really need to: The development is a labour of love.

Having a STEM degree is not the only alternative to poverty.

A guy repairing my dryer has charged $350 for one hour. I'm sure some of it went towards spare parts and such, but even $50 bucks an hour is a pretty decent income.
I'm guessing Google uses Wikipedia as a source and he's been edited out as a founder on that after his recent comments.
Both of my parents had well-aligned jaws with teeth suited to them. Unfortunately for my elder brother and myself, we had our father's teeth in our mother's jaws. Crowding ensued, not helped by the fact that both of us have a couple of senility teeth (my neologism for our fifth molars).

Full keyboards also commonly differ. There are some that have that little island of keys as 2 rows and 3 columns of normal size keys, then there are those that are 3 rows and 2 columns with a delete key that is twice the size of the others, then the keyboard at my work is 2 rows of 4 columns with an up arrow key between page up and down. I admit this last one is a little more unusual, though.
You can get Surface Laptop 2 with a GTX 1060, and Razor has some nice looking, non-huge laptops with RTX-series.

>> I think censorship is not going to fix the issue, people have the right to see and face evil if they so wish to and have a strong heart.

It's the inadvertent exposure that's more of a problem. The access is just so easy. If you were browsing at the time it was happening, you almost couldn't not watch the video because it was so prevelant.

I'm imagining a 16 year old coming across it, and wondering how they process it.

I made a conscious choice/effort not to watch it and 99% succeeded. But there are moments I couldn't miss because they were everywhere.

By the way, that's not burying my head in the sand. It's more about respecting the dead and not needing to see it to understand the darkness in some people.
The Spotify Apple Issue
I have to digress a bit initially to answer this...

I think one of the most frustrating things for inexperienced founders is not understanding why investors say no, because founders believe so strongly in their vision it is hard for them to understand why someone might not be persuaded by their pitch and investors just want to make more money, right?

But ultimately the decision to invest, at least at the seed stage, is largely emotional. It's a question of feeling good about the team, the idea, and believing it will gain traction. Nobody has product-market fit at this point, so you have to use incredibly limited information to make a decision.

YC excels at this stage. They only have 10 minutes of face time to make a decision, so they're using that time to try to evaluate you and your company as quickly as possible. There is no magic rubrik for this decision, they just try to assess the founders and their idea and whether or not they think it will work.

When I say they're meritocratic, I don't mean there is some single metric you can use to compare all companies to make a perfectly rational decision. What I mean is they evaluate everyone based on that 10 minute conversation, not on their pedigree.

FWIW, I applied to YC and was accepted without knowing anybody. Maybe I just like to believe the process is meritocratic and I'm special.
Oh Japan!

When I was first visiting Japan, I asked an architect friend of mine who had lived in Japan: what should I see?

His response: see how much attention to detail has been paid to even some of the most mundane things.

At first I was, WTF. I was looking for recommendations about places to see. But when I got there, his advice made total sense. I was not disappointed.
No, they're not often 'suppressed'. Again, nowadays it is far easier to access white supremacist material than possibly any other time. It's one search, one twitter account, one youtube recommendation away. These are people not operating on hidden forums at all, they're out in the open espousing these views.

I keep seeing people repeat this view, but I see none of it. You're attempting to divert away from my point in that you don't propose an actual solution at all. You propose nothing except maintaining the status quo. Arguing against a white supremacist gives legitimacy to their views, because they don't argue on the same level as you or I. They knowingly make illogical arguments that you simply cannot refute and they don't care even if you try.
