I've bought recently one of those cheap wrist bands.

One of the most important features for me was ability to measure sleep quality in terms of "daily hours of deep sleep," whatever that scientifically means.

Over the course of several months, I've been able to identify things which affect my sleep quality:

* eating late: bad

* drinking late: one beer... not really that bad

* answering work emails until midnight: REALLY BAD (even while drinking soothing chamomile tea during soft rain)
etc.

I'm trying as reduce as many "bad" things as possible as I can feel a huge difference between 30 mins and 3+ hrs of deep sleep, as measured by the device.

I feel much better during the day, can work more productively and, most importantly, my "fuse" seems to be much longer.

Probably best $30 ever spent.

I'm tall as well so it's more of just a courtesy that if I don't recline, the person behind me will pay it forward and not recline unless needed. On a red eye, it's always appropriate to recline though.

Honestly, I just want to be knocked unconscious, stacked up and strapped down like firewood with others, and then woken up upon arrival. Flights would get so cheap and there wouldn't be any need for any amenities. I think I just hate the fake comfort that airlines try to give us. I'm never really going to enjoy sitting in a little seat inside a metal tube so just cut it with the forced nostalgia of the golden age of air travel and just get me to where I need to be a quickly and cheaply as possible. I'm flying overnight to Europe soon. The plan is to just take a couple anti-histamines and so I don't have to experience any of the flight.
Can confirm, my server is also not accepted by google for years now when mailing someone with a business account. I'm not going to bother fixing Google's problems and support the behaviour, though, I'll just contact them through other means and let them know their email provider is blocking mail addressed to them.

At work we use sendgrid because of this. Have to trust a centralised third party to send out api keys. It's frustrating.

All just personal opinions, but Microsoft products and services are generally good, from my experience. Windows 10 works great (and I seem to be the only person who actually appreciates their update policy). Office works well. OneDrive used to work well, now it's just "okay", but still fine. My Surface Go is a champ and feels great, despite being silly cheap. My Microsoft Ergonomics keyboard + mouse are still going strong, and is still my all-time favourite Ergo keyboard. Xbox One X is a nice piece of kit. Azure can be kind of overwhelming, but it works well enough and is far less overwhelming than AWS, despite offering mostly similar services.

Microsoft still has legacy weirdness all over the place. It's 2019 and it still feels like nobody from Windows talks to anyone in Office, and no one in software talks to anyone doing hardware. And Microsoft botches acquisitions (Skype is still a tire fire, similar for LinkedIn). But generally, the quality of Microsoft products is good, despite their failings.

Microsoft consumer support is pretty poor. But I basically never need to use it, and some of competition is so much worse, that Microsoft look good in comparison. (Have a problem with anything Google, for example, and Microsoft Support suddenly looks like mana from heaven).
That’s not the point/issue though. The markets are regulated to protect consumers/investors...private companies can’t just have unregistered public offerings to non accredited investors...so it’s not just “up to you to assess the investments” there are rules and nothing is stopping additional rules to not permit registration of a public offering when the company is operating at a $150,000,000.00 annual loss or more to the point any loss.

Obviously not a popular idea here where everyone is trying to get in early and dump the bag on someone else, but that’s kinda the point of protections, some people won’t like them.
Is that the Internet's idea of "fair use" which is "I can pretty much do whatever I want as long as I say 'fair use'", or the legal one?

Calling it Sauron is almost certainly OK. Using an image from the movie probably isn't, and the reason why isn't copyright, it's trademark. It makes it look like it may be officially related to the trademark owner. This may sound silly to you, but in a world where the New York Times has an active open source contribution page, along with other non-tech-companies that have put out open source like financial companies, audio companies, etc., the idea that a movie production company might put out a web framework is well within the bounds of possibility. For similar reasons, calling it Sauron is OK but I'd want to lean away from any obvious relationship to the Lord of the Rings, such as posting a satirical version of the ring's inscriptions. (A literary estate putting out a web framework is much less plausible, but on the other hand, they're well known to be on the litigious side, so personally I'd avoid it even so.)

On the plus side, the worst case plausible scenario is a cease and desist, which may never come. Things only get nasty if the project refuses after that.
I would love so much to pay for Google services if it meant disabling all of their ads and data tracking. But they're just not interested in that kind of business model.
Knowing how famously inefficient the Slack application is with end user resources, I wouldn’t be surprised if their backend has been poorly optimized.

I serve more than 1000 users on a $3.50/mo VPS with a not-particularly-efficient runtime just fine.
exactly and that means that regular long-term investors should not be worried at all about this.
If several different IT departments all start sending that message though, people start to think maybe google has lost it...

> The particular irony here is that blockchains are a giant waste of energy compared to non-blockchain approaches

Not all blockchains are proof-of-work. Almost all modern implementations (particularly for federated blockchains like OPs) use more power-efficient consensus algorithms.

(I don't have an opinion on whether blockchains are the best solution to their problem, but a decentralized marketplace for carbon offsets does sound compelling.)
> While’s gmail’s filtering is obviously neither your responsibility nor under your control, you also can’t really fault people for using one of the most popular email services on the planet.

Why not? Popularity does not imply quality. If it is a poor service, you can (and should) fault people for using it.
That's ZooMass for you. Times were different then.

Five Different Kinds of Pain
> Not only do you get to pay above the odds —if you want to— you get to see them, you can talk to them and ask them how they're doing in life.

To the extent that it makes this person's work bearable, it worsens the situation. The company abusing the worker gets to earn that much more money and stay in business that much longer. If everyone did that, such companies would worsen their treatment even more (this is the same phenomenon that makes jobs desirable for non-economic reasons pay less; satisfaction gets deducted from your salary).

> Conversely how do you suppose the teenagers who assembled your robot is being cared for? What about the miners extracting the rare earth metals used in batteries and motors? What about the villages around said mines that suffer horrific levels of pollution? And what about the dump where all this ends up in under 10 years time?

The way to help those people isn't to buy more of their products, ensuring they have more work to do.
> This could cost millions, and would only settle the bet between methods A and B.

Even worse: it would only settle the bet between methods A and B in a particular context.
The end of my MBA program was a trip to China, with a week spent in Shanghai. a portion of our trip was meeting with the then CEO of China IBM and he toured us through the most ambitious project I'd ever heard: the Chinese Government hired IBM to create a nationwide western medical infrastructure - they needed everything from the health science courses in high school, university majors, nursing and medical universities, and hospitals and pharmacies by the thousand. This was a giant jaw dropping ambitious effort, and from what we could see the entire effort was being executed with the latest organizational and educational models known at the time from the west. I thought it was like taking the entirety of the Harvard Review and attempting a mass implementation of all that thinking in a real world project. After the trip was over, I remember thinking that such forward thinking investment was going to make China unbeatable within my lifetime. Looks like that is becoming true already, 14 years later.

Is this because of the CMM (Capability Maturity Model)? And therefore the outcome/output/result is knowing that a process was followed, not that the process leads to achieving desired financial or behavioral outcomes?
"Variance" does not give people cancer. But pollution does. The nuance is lost in your comment, and what you might more accurately say is "statistics/variance predicts that there is a high probability that somewhere in the US there is a town that has enough pollution (or other cause) to create cancer rates this high. It happens to be Waycross, GA"

I was with you on the first part, in other industries such a loss making company might have difficulties going public.

But lost you on the second part. It's not for the SEC (in my opinion) to police who can and can't go private in terms of how their busines is doing.

That's for investors to assess when deciding whether, or not, to buy shares.

The SEC's concerns should (again IMO) focus on whether the company seeking to IPO has been truthful in their prospectus. As long as they're not misleading investors, that's fine.
Ask HN: Be on my product focused podcast?
I'm sorry; I've just seen this attitude so many times in my career of, "Why not just create an option for this thing that would completely upend the way the product works?", which doubles the number of possible things you then need to test for, complicates the product, slows down development, adds technical debt, bloats the software, and clutters up the options screen.

I'm on a couple slacks, some where local culture is firmly built on threading, and some where it's not, and the former is at least 10x more productive and enjoyable. If other members of the community had the option to view things threadlessly, they would start replying to threads in the main channel, and ruin the experience for everyone else.

You might say this wouldn't happen much, but think about how hard it is just to get your coworkers to stop using @here frivolously.

I've seen a lot of friends publish apps to different ecosystems (e.g. marketplace.atlassian.com, https://apps.shopify.com, etc.) and make a steady profit. Seems like this is a good way to tap into an existing user base (although you share a portion of the revenue).
That makes me reconsider the Plan9 OS, where everything is a file system.

Only the past year? I've been having this problem since for as long as I've tried sending mail to google.
IMO, as far as research has been done in this field: the only point they need to make with experiments at the moment is that it has a huge impact.

Hopefully, they now are able to get amazing grants because of these results to study it more in-depth.

Four one in a million events in 15k inhabitants. Yes in any ranked list of stochastic outcomes there must be a highest scorer and a lowest scorer, but in case of Wayland GA it's still off the charts. With these diseases for any given town in the US you'd expect 0 or 1, hardly ever 2, if independently distributed.
How did I not hear about Cat's Cradle until just now.

Anything that saves a single engineer-year of effort, or less than half an engineer-year in a high COL area. Which for quite a lot of large companies, would cover their internal comms stack. It probably vanishes in comparison to, say, what they pay Cisco for their phones.
yes, but you can't be forced to provide an answer to this
Even if you pay for it and don't use g, you can't know with absolute certainty that your email is going to get to the person you are sending it to.

There's a high 9's probability that it will arrive safely, but there's several ways that things can go wrong, simplest of which is that you are deleted by a misconfigured filter.

There are US ISPs (cough sbcglobal) that routinely throw away mail from some arbitrary IPs despite there being absolutely no SPAM blacklist entries for the IP, even if you are replying to a mail sent from one of their clients.

outlook.com once, (and maybe still does) blocked email from an entire C-block for some reason.

(edit - grammar)
Genetics also gives people a chance. There is some probability that somewhere in the US there is a town that has enough people with cancer-prone genetics to create cancer rates this high.
However, the censorship requires enforcement. Post austerity the UK police force is overstretched and undermanned by its own admission. For example, the Manchester Police Commissioner stated just the other day that 43% of real world crimes are not investigated due to budget cuts.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-47963134

So British government can write all the laws it likes, until it starts paying for enforcement I don't see how it matters.

Based on my personal experience with two kids, it’s completely random what type of kid you’ll get. My first would wake every hour at night and require a lot of effort to get back to sleep, this lasted until he was at least a year. My second was far better, but still created sleep deprived parents for the first four months.

Having at least 3-4 months of an infant after birth (the forth trimester) be difficult to sleep and calm down is quite normal. And based on the anecdotal data from my friends in similar points of their lives, even average.

The outliers are the ones who sleep through the night immediately (which can be dangerous) and those who wake up every sleep cycle.
I think a company going public should not operating at $150M losses using VC money...letting them cash out and profit by selling to the public.

I also think there are other fundamental benefits to the economy. Yes the public is free not to buy...just as non-accredited investors would be free not to invest in unregistered securities yet regulations are still in place for a reason to protect would be investors.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable that is your company operates at a $500,000,000.00 loss over 3 years you can’t avail yourself to the public market and sell your stock to non accredited investors.

Maybe I’m not experienced enough, but my ability to do that successfully and rapidly varies dramatically based on a very subjective “how good the schematic was drawn”. Some schematics I look at an easily identify “that’s an input diff pair with current mirrors”, “that’s the gain stage”, “that’s an AB biased output stage”, etc etc. And some are... inscrutable.

My “one trick” though is that I have a drawer full of different coloured highlighters. When I encounter a “badly drawn” schematic, I pull out the highlighters and start colouring the nodes in the circuit and working through what functions each part may serve. One common thing I’ve seen, which I consider very sloppy, is that a circuit can still be made up of common topologies, but the designer didn’t put a lot of effort into making them look like their textbook versions; they realize “I need 4 resistors, a transistor, and a diode”, plop those down, and then draw wandering connections between them. It’s still correct and functional, but not very ergonomic for the user. Sometimes the parts are a long way from each other with big long nets drawn between them (or worse! Labelled nets that don’t actually draw a full line)

And writing all of this, I’ve realized that it’s exactly the same as code. High cohesion and loose coupling and all that :)
In the analysis we can only see that the goalkeepers have high structure but there's no correlation with the performance at this point. Only height of the player and position occupied. And we can see that for instance for this sample, they have more 10 cm than the midfielders.
But it's a valid assumption to say that players with higher structure are prefereble by the coaches since they can reach faster and cover more sectors than a person with small structure. But we did not correlate with performance metrics for this small example

But agree with you maybe we can pick up your idea to develop a next post
Agree totally. Intelligence without wisdom is a recipe for disaster.
This story eloquently captures what it is that people who like baseball really like about baseball. It's a game of small elements and subtle differences. It's not a game of force against force or jamming a ball into the place it needs to go. It's about secrecy and expectation, experience and intuition and how to subvert them.

I'm not really a baseball fan myself. The things that fans love seem to require intimacy; it's not something I could acquire with casual acquaintance. But I think the story presents a compelling case why that acquaintance could be worth developing.
Even the ones who saw this coming probably had no real way to work around it. I read a quote once - I can’t remember who said it and am too lazy to google it - but it was something along the lines of “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel”. It’s supposed to be inspirational, but to me, it’s the most depressing fucking thing I’ve ever read in my life because it’s so accurate. They won’t remember that when you said “this timeline is unrealistic” that you were right, all they’ll remember is that you made them feel bad. The brutal accuracy of it, though, has definitely inspired me to stop trying - I do what I’m told and no more, because trying to be helpful or actually be forward thinking is a surefire recipe for disaster. I do make people “feel” good, though, except on here where I’m “salty”.
1^N is not the kind of curve most people think of when you say "exponential growth"

What is the brand of the device? I am interested in getting one. I'm struggling today after little sleep, but I would also like insight on how much deep sleep I am getting.
Big companies with thousands of employees license Slack with advanced features, mostly per user basis. So the payment is in direct proportion to number of people using it. $100k/year is nothing for any big organization.
