Digital Humanities and where to find them
Here are a few tips:

Stay away from _everything_ carbonated. Evian, Perrier, Alka-seltzer, those foofy sodas with fruit flavors, and especially Diet Coke. These will spike your Ghrelin levels and make you hangry two hours after, way worse than the worst MSG-laced Chinese food.

Take fresh air breaks, prop open multiple windows, and spring for real office plants. CO2 might be a problem outside but it's not unusual for it to spike to 4-digit levels in a closed-up office (windowless glass-walled meeting rooms are awful). CO2 saps productivity in numerous ways, not least of which is making you hungry.

Take a multivitamin. Things like copper and magnesium help metabolism, and even the most hipster catering firms occasionally shortchange you on the minerals and vitamins you need most, particularly when you don't like 50% of the choices they present you with.

And, first seen here, use your napkin. Not to wipe your mouth and hands, but to signal to your brain that you're done eating. A wadded up napkin on top of otherwise edible food is a great way to limit your food intake.

As many of us had drilled into us growing up, there may be kids starving over in wherever, but you have to think past that. In today's day and age, those kids are as likely to be overfed as underfed.

"law enforcement can only receive information not already accessible to the standard user" = LE asking FTDNA for your DNA specifically

"law enforcement matching" = LE uploading suspect DNA to the service and looking for family members, who they will then contact for further investigation of relatives, which does not require a warrant.

due to a recent policy change, LE is obligated to identify itself as such before performing the latter type of search. you can ask FTDNA to exclude your information when a LE account looks for family matches.

In limited quantities it can be a sleep ad. Anti-social is drinking too much. Stop conflating over drinking affects with moderate drinking affects.

> DESTROYS

Stop with the hyperbole. No it doesn’t and google doesn’t bring up good sound science, it brings up clickbait, “experts”, and tons of hearsay/case study. Real science on moderate drinking is hard to perform, because there are so many other factors at play..... such as genetics, diet, exercise, smoking, air pollution, water pollution, antibiotics, The proliferation of sugar and refined grains, the over use of pharmaceuticals, persistent inorganic compounds, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth hormones, and radiation. But concentrate on negative aspects of alcohol because it seems to fit your agenda. Meanwhile there are millions of happy people who have good friends, sleep well, have a great job, eat healthy, have decent monetary stream and can have a drink or two without turning in to a sloppy abusive mess. People who drink alcohol in moderation tend with live longer than abstinent sober people... how do I know that? I googled it
Yes, I factored out quite a bit of generic parts of the engine into libraries and took some steps to cut down on number of generics being instanced (which was one of the main drivers of compile time). Now I'm left with pretty much the game core, which is highly interdependent and thus nearly impossible to break up into crates (they can't mutually depend on each other). And it's still kinda slow.

That makes it sound like cosmological redshift is a form of Doppler shift. In reality, the target object emits light towards us with little Doppler shift as it will have experienced little acceleration in its reference frame. The light becomes redshifted as it moves through the universe while the universe is expanding, effectively stretching out the wavelength of the light.

The change in wavelength is exactly proportional to the increase in size of the universe during the time of flight, and it is not directly related to speed of recession except in common and inaccurate discussion. The link to relative velocity (if that concept makes sense for objects in widely separated and unrelated reference frames) is model dependent, while the metric expansion measurement is directly measured.
Thanks for explaining it clearly. I hate to ask for more, but it's a rare opportunity that my question about capital gains is not completely off-topic. Can you (or anyone) tell in a similar idea about how Capital gains losses work?

I understand that there is a limit to how much loss you can claim against your gains in the coming year, and that you can claim the loss as a deduction in following years up to a limited number of dollars each year, and limited number of years, but what I don't know is what the losses can be claimed against.

If I have capital losses this year, and I'm getting a refund this year for my income withholdings overpayment... then next year say I owe income taxes from underpayment, but I have that deduction from the previous year, can I cancel them out?

Or do I need to report a capital gain in the next year in order to be able to "use up" the previous year's loss as a deduction? My understanding is I can't use capital losses to pay income taxes, but I am not a CPA.

Perhaps this is a question for my accountant, and this should be a billable conversation, but this is just a question I've had since I started thinking about capital gains, and I've never been able to answer it for myself.
Worth noting: India is the fourth(!) country that destroyed a satellite in orbit.

While I would love nothing more but for it be the last country to do so, the precedent was set some time ago. The one that China destroyed in 2007 (or 2008?) was by far the biggest, creating thousands of pieces of debris bigger than a golf ball. 270 pieces (detected so far after India destroyed a satellite) seems pretty insignificant in comparison.
Don't worry too much, the spraying is imperfect and is creating an environment conducive to creating fungicide resistance. The fungi will bounce back.

The same is true for functions. There exist many more functions (eg ℕ→ℕ) than you can write down because the powerset of ℕ is bigger than ℕ. So it could be that there could be a physical law that the property X of an object is a function of property Y but that function is one which we could not even see as a function because we can not encode it in symbols and probably our brain would not even recognize it as function at all (?)
I'm really glad to hear that. Not many people know about actors and even less believe it can suit their problem.

No shit. The only reason people think that moderate consumption is healthy is because of widely publicized studies by the alcohol industry that were manipulated to create the illusion that moderate consumption is healthy. And because they want to rationalize their own behavior.
I mean, regarding algorithm speed.

From the conclusion:

“We presented a practical implementation of an LSTM based lossless compressor. Although it is slow, its description is simple and the memory consumption is reasonable compared to compressors giving a similar compression ratio. It would greatly benefit from a dedicated hardware implementation.”

I only skimmed through the paper, but looks to me like this might be a 10X improvement over other LSTM compression methods, not state-of-the-art compression.

That said, I’m far from being an expert in compression and was hoping from someone in HN to explain how relevant this is in their discipline.

According to Wikipedia, regarding the 2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test [0]:

This event was the largest recorded creation of space debris in history with more than 2,000 pieces of trackable size (golf ball size and larger) officially cataloged in the immediate aftermath, and an estimated 150,000 debris particles.

As of October 2016, a total of 3,438 pieces of debris had been detected, with 571 decayed and 2,867 still in orbit nine years after the incident.

For about 7 years, I've been battling undiagnosed Candidiasis. Cutting down wheat and sugar dramatically has mostly eliminated my symptoms, though when I get careless it comes back.

I've talked to three doctors about my symptoms, and done various tests, which don't show anything. None of them seemed to accept the idea that it could be caused by Candida. It's interesting to see it getting some media attention, though certainly this particular report makes me a bit nervous.

That makes sense and it's interesting to see the limitations of the "web extension" framework.

The following isn't meant to try to convince you to use any particular solution (I don't have any skin in the game), just some ideas in case you get fed up even more by the problems with implementing DRM in your own browser.

Listening to a socket and reading local files is possible with "Native messaging"[1]. In brief you have a small application running in the background, outside the browser, which can listen to sockets or read local files, and your browser extension communicates with it. This does bring added complexity and might (haven't tested) bring additional latency, possibly making it unacceptable.

I think the only politically related questions you get asked are whether or not you've ever been a terrorist, and whether or not you've been a member of or supported an organization that was attempting to violently overthrow the governemnt. You're spot on about drugs though. They really don't care what you did in your past, as long as you don't have a criminal record from it, and you're honest. They just don't want people hiding things that can be used for blackmail.
"and what about those 3 nations that caused debris before, if so!"

They get no respect here for that either.
This smacks of a justification through tu quoque fallacy. Just because other nations destroyed satellites doesn't mean this type of weapons testing should continue. We should criticize nations that did this before AND India.

Polluting LEO to the point where we endanger our ability to get off the earth is extremely myopic.
This is just a disclaimer to be extra cautious. I'm mostly worried about WebGL causing a GPU panic on some weird old hardware. The simulation itself doesn't even touch the filesystem. And you get the unrecognised application message because I didn't bother to sign these live builds yet. Of course you shouldn't listen to me when it comes to whether you should run my software :)
I'm suggesting they could delete your data (as well as many other companies), and the possibility is deliberately not mentioned, so they can pretend to respect your privacy by requiring a warrant.
Write NIFs in Rust, or C if you want to stay on the BEAM, and still get performance if you need it. Elixir/Phoenix are the Ruby/Rails of today. I do like getting low-level within the same PL, so this has truly inspired me to dig more into Rust. I am still playing with Zig though.

Arithmetic encoding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_encoding . The way I would put it is: the statistical model does its best to predict the next bits, assigning short bit strings to what it thinks is likely to come next and long bit strings to less likely next bits, and if it is indeed right, only the short bitstrings need to be emitted; if it's wrong, more long bit strings must be spent to correct it and emit the exact right bitstring. (Like using shorthand with lots of convenient shortcuts, and then falling back to painfully writing everything out explicitly.) So, you can use imperfect lossy probabilistic models, while still getting lossless compression.

I've got clients asking for pretty complicated lighting setups and we typically have to hire an AV partner who do a great job, but it's like a whole second system next to ours instead of being tightly integrated.

Yes, depending on your favorite definition of "different model" there are models that can not be distinguished even in principle. Most famous example is the different interpretations of quantum mechanics.

In my opinion the reasonable way to deal with that, is to assume that they are the same model since they describe the same physics and leave the semantics to the philosophers.
Zinc based batteries seem to have promise for grid energy. Enerpoly was mentioned yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19586068 and NantEnergy have been making them: https://www.altenergymag.com/article/2019/03/zinc-air-batter...

>The raw materials that we use are nearly 17 times lower cost than materials used in lithium-ion

which suggests they could end up cheaper than Li Ion when production scales up. Nant who claim $100/kWh say:

>We feel that $100/KWh is just the tipping point, as our fundamental raw material cost of zinc is just $2-$3/KWh. Today, commercially available zinc batteries are already below $30/KWh. Long term, we see a clear path to a very low-cost battery option that would be disruptive to the entire energy industry.

I guess the 30/KWh are non rechargeable ones. Enerpoly say 40euro/KWh but I've a feeling that's projected rather than realised.

I meant it as something of a joke (10x compression speed vs 10x the productivity of the average programmer), but also to summarize useful information from the paper.
So because the US engaged in nuclear weapons tests above ground decades ago, it's okay for everybody else to do it too? I'm not sure how the bad behavior of others makes this behavior any less bad. I'm sure China destroying that satellite was widely criticized at the time too, but at some point we need to be able to sit back and say "Well, that's just not acceptable", regardless of who's still doing it or who's done it before. People commit murder everyday, that still doesn't make it okay.
“Individuals may be crushed by a falling anvil.“

Life imitating art once again, I see.
In most cases this would probably be bad but he could also use a pointer to a string.
The article states:

1. The price of Lithium will drop by half in the next five years: "prices, which averaged $1,160 per kilowatt hour in 2010, reached $176 per kWh last year and could drop below $100 in 2024".

2. Tweaks to the formulation "could boost the energy storage of a lithium-ion battery by 20 percent or more".

3. Supply is going to increase: "Capacity now stands at 302.2 gigawatt-hours, and plants with another 603.8 GWh are planned to open within the next five years."

So there is something better coming: in a few years we will have vastly more batteries, which worker better, and cost much less. It's just that they'll be an evolution of lithium-ion rather than a brand new technology.
