The amount of space for us to shrink into is absolutely miniscule compared to the space available to expand between us and distant galaxies.

The metric expansion of space appears to be an extremely weak, small effect. It just adds up to something measurable in the vast gulfs between galaxies.

Furthermore the amount of acceleration away from us is proportional to the distance from us (farther things are accelerating away faster). The shrinking hypothesis only makes sense of that data if it posits that we are the center of the universe.

Both of my newer model Mac keyboards had to be repaired in about a year of usage for the keyboard issue. Obviously glad Apple extended the warranty for this, but only after a lot of pressure. The 2016 and 2017 models should be recalled.

When I go to the Apple store they immediately try to get a compressed air can out to “solve” my issue. It is both hilarious and incredibly insulting.
Did anyone actually deploy Hesiod? I haven't heard about it for a long time. I remember implementing experimental support for it in lookupd when I was an intern at Apple in 1998 ;)
> I have not heard anybody say anything in support of child porn, which would be my definition of defending it.

Read the linked threads. There are people literally defending the possession of large quantities of images of child sexual abuse.

I'm being really careful with my language here: these are not people defending a single innocent image of your naked child playing in the bath. These are people defending possession of thousands of images of children being raped.

well the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is the point of taking O6
How do you know how much O3 you need? So O6 is in plant-oils, how many O3 Capsules do you need to eat with your salad if you put olive Oil on it?
Fish and shellfish already have the perfect ratio, unless you cook them in plant oils.
it seems unlikely that second place came from an equally or more disadvantaged background. chess in general is a pretty exclusionary. sure the kid (tani?) might not have been the worst off kid at the tournament but kids from higher income schools or private schools might have an easier time dedicating time to the study of chess. what's significant to me is the difficulty of being homeless and dedicating time to studying anything, especially something extracurricular like chess. it's possible that second place came from the same place but if so you're kinda calling into question the entire premise of champions right? like caruana and carlsen are essentially the same strength so whats the use of calling carlsen the champion and giving him all the prize money?

स्तन का आकार जींस, हार्मोन, शरीर आकर और वजन द्वारा निर्धारित की जाती है. ज्यादातर महिलाओं के लिए, स्तन का आकार शरीर के अनुपात में होता है, लेकिन कुछ इस्त्रियों के विशेष रूप से बड़े स्तन होते हैं. बड़े स्तन मनोवैज्ञानिक संकट भी पैदा कर सकते है. जैसे की अधिकतर युवतियों में बड़े स्तन होने के कारण शर्म सी महसूस होने लगती है बड़े स्तनों के साथ महिलाओं को फैशनेबल कपड़े पहनने में समस्या आती है तथा अधिकतर स्पोर्ट खिलाडियों के लिए बड़े स्तन होने के कारण खेल में कठिनाई का सामना करना पड़ता है तथा बहुत बड़े स्तन होने के कारण स्कूल या कालेज में पढने वाली छात्राओं को बहुत अधिक असुविधा का सामना करना पड़ता है

स्तन में विशेष रूप से हार्मोन एस्ट्रोजन अधिक संवेदनशील हैं. विशेष रूप किशोरावस्था के दौरान बढ़ने या रजोनिवृत्ति के बाद में स्तन की अनियंत्रित वृद्धि पाई गयी है . कुछ महिलाओं को भी अपने स्तनों के बीच एक नमूदार विषमता (आकार या आकार में अंतर) का विकास मिला है. यह वृद्धि स्तन को बेडोल बनती है एक महिला शल्य चिकित्सा के लिए वजन और स्तनों की मात्रा को कम करने के लिए स्तन ऑपरेशन भी किये जाते हैं. परन्तु स्तन को कम करने की यह विधि बहुत अधिक खतरनाक होती है इस प्रक्रिया के दौरान, वसा, ग्रंथियों के ऊतक और त्वचा स्तन को निपल्स के पास से हटा देते हैं. इस विधि के प्रयोग से स्तन कैंसर के बहुत से मामले सामने आये हैं अतः यह बहुत अधिक हानिकारक है. तथा हमारी आप से यह सलाह है की आप कभी भी स्तन समस्या के लिए सर्जरी जैसा खतरनाक तरीका न अपनाएं
They look similar, but the operating principle is significantly different. The STG-44 did have a huge impact on the Soviets, they learned a lot from it but operationally but not technically. Mikhail Kalashnikov took the concept, but the AK is not a modification of the STG-44 mechanically. That's a common misconception.
This is not a vivid picture I'm afraid. Most of Iran's exports are oil and other petrochemical products. The U.S is exempting Iran's trade partners from sanctions on the condition that they reduce their imports quarter by quarter. Ultimate goal is to bring petro export to certain countries to zero.

Iran also has trouble receiving payment for its oil. India, for example, used to have a deal in place (probably still does), that it would only pay Iran in Rupees. Your choice of cancer medicine is limited when you can only spend in Rupees, and so is your purchasing power.

And after all, this is just oil. It's sold by the government, and its proceeds are used for essential government functions, such as keeping the local currency afloat (which is now about 1/3 of its value compared to last year). Oil proceeds do not help the private sector in trade. An Iranian software company for example, does not export oil.

I wouldn't call Erlang's model "cooperative multitasking", since you can't make the assumption that there will be no context switch without giving up calling functions. In other words, it's cooperative, but under the enormous pressure that if you make a function call, you have to give up the thread of execution.

The $200 dollars loaned for refinancing, to help a single mother leave a job that holds a car note over her head

This is like helping that small cafe down the street with their rent or some machinery vs that hot startup in the garage. The second one has a chance of hitting it big, however slim. The first one has a chance of supporting a small family business (and by extension, the local economy), but that is the max potential there. Since most people are interested in glory and multiple returns of their money, they are interested in the startup and not the mom and pop shop.

This isn't how it should be, but that is how it is :(
I can only guess, but I think the parent was being sarcastic, insinuateing that the current US policy towards the Iran points to a new Gulf war.
No because in order to be reimbursed by the French insurance, they must argue their development costs in order to make their case for pricing at which the government will reimburse the drug. Otherwise it is not covered by insurance (which is rare).

So anything sold oversees is pure profit (minus marketing / lobbying).
I’m transitioning from Mac->Linux laptop. I bit the bullet and bought one with Linux pre installed (statem 76). The hardware is not as good as the Mac book pro but it’s decent. And I was happily surprised that everything just works out of the box. Battery life isn’t great (3 hours with the intel graphics half that with ).

The jetbrains ides work and with so many tools being web based. I miss sequel pro and transmit but not that much(the alternatives aren’t that great). The thing I find is there are fewer options to buy software on Linux which means using the free slightly sub optimal solutions.

I think you can happily do software development on a Linux notebook these day (provided you have a power outlet)
Why are you assuming that academic research is necessarily more valuable and/or interesting than being an actuary (which can involve some really sophisticated stats)?

The big downside of the academy is that it's basically a zero-sum game. There's a limited pot of money, decided by the politics of the day, and all geniuses and near-geniuses are fighting for it. The added benefit of another smart person entering research is therefore limited.

However, in industry, including the insurance industry, a smart person can create more growth than existed before he/she entered. The added economic stability is not in conflict to this.

I can see you are trying to find evidence to support your assumption. No problem, but respectfully, not really interested in playing that endless question and answer game.

Yes, as I suggested before, lettable floor area is king. That is why commercial buildings are made from glass. There are other major differences, and also minor differences with large knock on effects. And no, not every traditional style building is an order of magnitude more expensive than every other style building. And yes, you can fake the stylistic appliqué. And yes, architects have thrashed that dead horse to death time and again over the last 600 years or so.

The truth of it is that architecture is beholden to the same arcane and Byzantine cost structures that effect any other large scale, one off projects. Like those that make software engineering expensive (when programming is so cheap!). Or why don't they just make good movies these days?. The forces acting on architecture are strongly market driven, and if the forces pushed toward traditional methods, then those buildings would be built.

They are not. And, I think architecture would be much easier to understand (and even be effected positively) if people, such as yourself could enumerate their actual requirements of buildings, internally, externally, publicly, privately, phenomenologically, metaphysically, and give some thought to the prioritisation of such requirements, and the deceptive complexity of satisfying them.

If I could make this into a generalisation.. a product is its specification. If you just want a cheaper building (or car, website, or apple) you will get something that resembles that.

I wrote something that was trying to do this a back in January that was called desational[1]. What I did was very basic but the process I did went as follows.

1. Break up news articles into sentences

2. Pay Amazon MTurkers to tag sentences as `news` or `not-news`

3. Train a text classifier based on the results for Mturk

4. Process new articles using the trained model to identify and strip out parts pf the article that are sensational.

5. Give the article a percent score and a letter grade about how much "news" is actually in the article based on the percentage of sentences that were identified as news.

I ran it for a few weeks on tech news, but then I figured that the news industry is not a business I really want to be in. The source code is all just sitting up on GitLab.

Human labor is not obsolete. Take the old trope that the infrastructure in the U.S. is crumbling--is it crumbling because we've run out of bricks, or because we don't want to pay anyone to do the work?

There is tons of work for people to do. The real problem is twofold:

1. Global trade makes unskilled labor in wealthy countries compete with laborers in developing countries. This pushes their wages to converge, which is really ugly for the people on the developed world side.

2. Utility is hard to measure in skilled labor positions, and companies are clumsy, so offices end up with a lot of bullshit jobs, and bullshit jobs are about signaling, not productivity. As more people work in cubicles, this gets worse.

There are too many unskilled or weakly skilled jobs left undone for the cause of our current economic ills to be human beings becoming obsolete.
> A Dyson Sphere is not a solid object. Instead, it's many small objects each of which is in a stable orbit.

Actually, we've never seen one so we have no idea how one might be engineered! It could for example be a "fog" of worlds that extends out past several local AU and to us would look nothing more like a dust cloud obscuring their local star. There wouldn't be a telltale signal of a Dyson Sphere, just another star with a big dust cloud.

Imagine a civilization like this, those closer to the star get more power literally, and those on the outskirts and in the shadows of the other worlds become dependent on the more inner worlds to re-radiate their absorbed energy, or to condense and lase the energy outwards to the shadow worlds...at some cost that limitless free energy can't pay for.

Beyond some distance the worlds become so cold that the inhabitants freeze to death and exile of your entire world at the whims of the inners becomes a real punishment. Dead worlds are recycled for mass for the growing population of the inners, or repurposed for other things.

There are billions of such worlds. Perhaps they are customarily shaped as small ringworlds and rotate in a complex manner to produce gravity and a daynight cycle. Dead or frozen worlds may have a reflective sail hoisted along the inner opening and expeditionary generation ships are sent out to nearby stars powered by lasers collected from hundreds of inner worlds.

Successful colonies may start to immediate transform the mass of nearby planetary systems into new "dust" clouds rather than settle on the planetary surfaces. Many adjacent Dyson spheres may look to us like just interstellar gases between several stars containing an unusual amount of organic molecules but could be the exchange of trillions of generation ships moving mass and energy back and forth between stars.

Such a civilization could eventually become nomadic in a way, moving from star to star as they burn out, leaving behind frozen husks of trillions of dead ringworlds.
I'd say ads are harmful as well, don't see people fighting those this much.
I think there are two things here: first is that Japan is so safe that police is actively looking for cases to pursue. I remember reading of police putting (as a trap) a case of beer in an open car at a shopping plaza, monitoring it for a week before finally nabbing a retiree who opened a door (whether to "steal" the beer or just to investigate). In and of itself such safely is, IMO, something to celebrate.

The second is that the justice system is structured so that the state is always right and the criminal system famously has a conviction rate that exceeds 99%. Couple this with the vaguely defined laws (as cited in the article) and the desire by police to find some criminals, somewhere, and the results can be ugly. Dangerous to the bystanders at best, enabling local dictatorial powers at worst. My 2c.
Mentor/student is not the same dynamic as lead/junior.

As both lead and mentor simultaneously to a junior developer, the suggestions I give him are very _very_ different depending on which role I'm playing at the time, and I make it abundantly clear which role is speaking at any given point in time.

This is precisely the sort of suggestion many juniors need to hear from their mentors (because there is real value in understanding the difference between deep and shallow knowledge, and the role of tooling), but is of course a terrible task for a lead to give a junior (because it's a pointless waste of time as part of a production project)

If I retired today I'd try really hard to only use Elixir and OCaml.

Elixir is perfect for servers and fault-tolerance. Also scales quite well to several tens of machines before needing any special tooling.

For a huge percent of most projects today Elixir would be ideal.

OCaml I want to use more for its really concise and strict (but extensible) syntax. And mostly for its strong typing and really well-optimized compiled native code.

Congratulations on retirement, relax and tinker at your own pace. ^_^
I get the methodology but, what is the demand for this type of product? RT makes sense because there are too many movies coming out at any one time, and you need something to build a shortlist from.

But news? Are users so spoiled for choice that they need a journalist's opinion on what's worth reading? This doesn't even seem like an anti fake-news play, since the people that consume and share that stuff aren't actually interested in news, just whatever can be used as a stick to beat the political opposition with.
This is so egocentric. Do you really believe your choices can have such an impact ? Actually it has not, and you can sleep well knowing than buying a computer to your parents won't harm anyone, because your choices alone cannot change the world. If you're not giving money to charities, then someone else will do. If no one gives money, then there will still be some people trying to save childs anyway, using their skills and their guts, not their money.

Now imagine this theoretical situation : you have the choice between buying a new computer or save an unknown child for certain death (let's imagine a psychopath taking a child in hostage and asking you randomly). Would you still buy the computer ? Would you still consider that human life is less valuable for you than having a new computer ? I certainly hope not

Ask HN: One SaaS Glossary List to Rule Them All?
CAC, LTV, ARPU, ARPPU etc. — all these SaaS terms need a glossary. There are some out there but they’re either:

1. Shielded by a “just pop in your details here to download this PDF”
2. Incomplete
3. Quasi-complete but somehow still confusing

I’m thinking about putting out a list of mine that I use with my clients where I explain the terms that were used in a sent document (a strategy document, for instance). If only MRR and CRR were used, I explain these two.

This list is an add-on and it mentions how it’s not meant to be disrespectful towards the CEO/CFO/etc. but even they might have bad days when their head is too busy to do a mental search about what that acronym means.

Or, maybe more important, the document might be sent to someone who doesn’t get a full grasp of these odd-looking capitalised words. It’s a nice touch that’s appreciated — especially if it meets the hands of an intern.

One list to rule them all? Gather literally all possible terms and put them together? I think it’d be a good idea. If I don’t get to do this fast enough, feel free to snatch this idea — hoping I won’t sleep on it.

Also thinking a nice pairing element would be having boxes where you put in your data and see how it’s calculated.

As in you would add your monthly recurring revenue and automatically the annual recurring revenue would pop up — this is a trivial example but it could get more helpful as we move on to other figures.

What does HN think?
Too bad copyreaders are a dying profession 'cause you'd be a natural.
Educating people is awesome, amazing, and should be applauded.

It must, however, come from the side of the mentee, not the mentor. If you _want_ to teach someone something, that will always come off bad, from my experience. As a junior dev, I used to hate this slightly senior dev (same position, but has been with the company a year longer) trying to teach me stuff, and saying things like "yea, do this, at least you'll learn how to do it", assigning me useless little things that I did not need in my daily work. In the end, I had to tell him that he's in no position to assign me anything, and I had to talk to my manager about this colleague thinking he can assign me things (practically, I said 'this has to end or I'm out). Things got significantly better after that.
