This feels like a very unique HN thread. I can't recall seeing people actually attempting to defend something like this before on HN.

I'll have a quarter pound steak (sirloin or ribeye), with veggies at 7am, and then not eat again until 6-7pm, when I'll have something light (say salad).

No lack of energy during the day, no cravings. However this does tend to mean that one is largely running on burning fat during the day.

I was under the impression that FB Prophet was optimal for significantly seasonal time series data.

Honestly given the fickle nature of these kind of growth patterns beyond the very near term, an ARIMA with a flat vol or a simple eyeball extrapolation in my experience as a quant would likely generate just as reasonable/reliable results.

While I understand this is likely intended as a standalone project, it would be interesting to run a comparison of ARIMA vs FB Prophet on out of sample trending Github tools/file types, as well as the general performance of these predictions beyond a one year time frame (especially vs the reported confidence intervals in Prophet).

I am not that familiar with how Prophet works, so I am absolutely open to being humbled and corrected. I have a project myself that has a varying seasonal component and I am looking forward to diving into Prophet for a deeper understanding. I am attempting to model an Asian 2 asset spread option with a volume weighted average index price setting mechanism where the underlying exhibits seasonality in the volume traded over the trading time window. I am currently running a Monte Carlo on the valuation with a simple average settlement assumption, as opposed to a volume weighted average assumption, and I was thinking Prophet could help.

Does anyone have experience in financial time series analysis and option valuation who would care to chime in?

Also, what is everyone's thoughts on using prophet non seasonal vol clustering times series?
We do V2MOMs not earlier than 2 weeks in advance. Usually we just write down things we already decided to do.
Lives were literally at stake in that particular instance.
Really commonplace, alas. Did a quick search for Transit DPF (just to see about later transit issues), and one of the first results was this company:

https://www.avontuning.co.uk/services/dpf-removal-delete

Proudly professing their removal service, and with a caveat at the end to say that it makes the vehicle illegal for road use and is for off-road use only.

I don't think it should be allowed, personally, but I'm sure there are libertarians who think they have a right to pollute...
How is a completely free market insulated from the influence of marketing/advertising? They are very effective techniques for convincing buyers to choose non-optimal products, and work exceedingly well in that regard.

I also think you would find it very hard to point at an example of a working free market that has not devolved into an oligopoly, with no govrnment support at all; nevermind one that has produced large-scale wealth.
I think you would have a lot of journalists eager to publicize that story if that was actually the case.
As was said in other threads, what she writes is more comparable to cigarette industry or casino operators than to ethical design. Therefore, even if she wasn't directly responsible for the loot boxes, she seems to have thoroughly internalized and rationalized the unethical design of the game.
It's not really about it being cloud based. It's about having a central trusted party with access to private data which has public utility. As an example, Tesla collects lots of private data about their users' driving, in order to train their self-driving tech. Doing this in a free software solution (if you consider the training to be part of the software) would be less practical, as it would require training journeys to be publicly available.

The way out of this situation is to develop competitive solutions which are less private data dependent.
> Yet you still continue to argue that India is being unfairly discriminated against by the United States. You are privileged to argue this, and also disingenuous.

There is certainly reform needed in how, to whom and with which companies H1B visas are granted. However, let's put that aside as a separate issue and assume for now that H1B visas are granted in a fair, non-discriminatory fashion.

How does it make sense to limit the total green cards for any country to 7% of the total, regardless of that country's desire to immigrate to the US or even that country's overall population? What legitimate, non-discriminatory reason is there to cap green cards this way? (Vatican city is brought up because has the same cap on green cards that India has, despite much lower population and non-existent demand.)

The cynical view here (and one I suspect is at least partially correct) is that the relative inability of Indian workers to get green cards makes Indian H1B workers more cost effective and valuable to the companies that bring them to the US to work precisely because they are easier to exploit.

A truly fair system would impose identical caps on both H1B visas and green cards. (Ideally, this cap would scale somewhat with the overall population of that country.)

As it is, we have system seemingly designed to provide companies with low cost workers who are more easily exploited. This is bad not only for Indian workers, but for those worker's American peers and labor force competitors.

What we should have is a system designed to bring high quality, diverse workers with needed skills into our country and provide all those workers with a fair and realistic path to citizenship.

While dam break cost lives, there is crucial differences that are never mentioned by the pro-nuclear crowd on HN.

1.) Dam breaks devastate much smaller areas. So even if the human toll is the same, the amount of infrastructure lost is smaller.

2.) The area is unlivable (or even inaccessible) for a much smaller duration of month instead of millenia.

Maybe land lost "forever" (on the timescale of individual human lives) is not a big problem in some part of the world, but in densely populated areas (any they need the most power, so would have MORE reactors per area) you can not simply block off an area the size of Belgium because a reactor exploded. This makes nuclear power a lot less attractive in India, Europe or (coastal) China.
That is very succint. I would also add that the current setup is about concentration of power and wealth and that what we call "socialism" is really just a thinly veiled propaganda campaign designed to suppress dissent.

Social programs never solve any problems, they just keep the masses from rioting. Except in France.
> There will be no effect. No one took a stand, this will be forgotten immediately.

That's a bold assertion, and seems to reflect a (false) underlying assumption that small effects are totally meaningless.
Opinion – How to Defeat Trump
Are you suggesting China's official position today is that it is no longer bound by its previous agreement? They could officially withdraw if that were the case. Articles like this from 2008 don't give any indication that they feel that way: https://web.archive.org/web/20160729200250/http://news.xinhu...
I've noticed that if I dont install jupyter to each venv, then the pythonpath defaults to the jupyter install. As a result, the jupyter notebook cannot find the packages in the venv(for example, caffe, module not found errors)

Of course it is discrimination. A British born person has better chances at PR than an Indian born person. The Indian is being given less opportunities not because of their skills or talent, but because of their place of birth.

> The limits are there to prevent one ethnicity

Why? Is it okay for an individual to be disadvantaged because of his ethnicity? Why are there no limits on religions too? After all, you get to choose your religion, but not your ethnicity.

Further, who told you India is only one ethnicity? India is more diverse than Europe.

> Unfortunately it sucks for aj Indian

If it sucks it is because this is discrimination.

> I personally think it should be more proportional to the country's population size

Why though? Why can't you judge an individual on their own skills without trying to either be bigoted like right wing or doing identity politics like left wing.

Teenager recovers from near death in world-first GM virus treatment
As someone that has gone to therapy for several years I can tell you that eventually you get to a place where you need more than talking - action. People tend to need some sort of organizational philosophy to go with their view of life along with habits that comfort them in times of mental disarray. You are not ever going to be able to avoid suffering, times of boredom, or anything else, but you also don't have to be stuck. This is going to sound cliche, but talk is cheap. Practicing what you are discovering about yourself into habitual evidence is what becomes important as you broaden your self-awareness and dig yourself out of the depressive holes in life. In the words of Jocko, discipline = freedom. I've found that a combination of therapy and seeking out actionable things I can do to be more disciplined has been fundamental in getting beyond the ego of the self and out into the world.

The crazy thing with South Park was it wasn't just censoring Mohammed. There was a 5 minute monologue from one of the characters about the importance of not giving in to people who make threats of violence...which had a continuous tone censoring the whole speech.

There's nothing about 'comfort zone' that suggests it's always a happy place. It's just a familiar one. It's so easy to become accustomed to pain or suffering that it becomes scary to imagine how things might be different, even if that change is positive.

I would recommend giving therapy a shot, but I would recommend even strongly that you find the therapist who is right for you. It won't always be the first one you meet, or even the most recommended one. It's a relationship just like any other so it requires trust.

I've been going through this for 6 years and if I had to go back and decide differently, I'd travel this same path again. Pitfalls and all.

Who in their right mind would give $50/year to someone they've never met, that has no real worth, and is peddling a free software suite as the real deal to get away from Google.

I know a number of people including myself who pretty much ignore Safari for small projects because they don't have iDevices to test on and Safari doesn't run anywhere else. In that instance you just stick to the standards and either hope Safari will cope or don't care if it doesn't.

Even on larger and/or professional projects I see it given second class support: people make sure their project works on Safari, so no show stopper or nasty UX bugs, but display glitches and non-major performance issues that are Safari specific get very low priority, if they are addressed at all.

Currently the differences seen are far less stark than those seen between IE6/8 and other browsers so this is a relatively minor issue, but it might not remain so.

In projects aimed for a wide audience though and for which mobile is a key platform, Safari support is forced much as old-IE support has been forced upon those of us writing software for large institutions who are slow to update, because nothing else runs on iOS. iDevice users can be pretty vocal and not quick to blame their own devices, and even ignoring the noise they can generate they tend to be people with disposable income so if your project/product is commercial you probably can't go too far down the road of ignoring Safari.
"Turning the good impetus or empathy into something negative is just evil. One should really rethink the use of the term."

Consider that people commonly wag their fingers and take the moral high ground from their armchairs because it's easy, or they want click bait. It's very common.

This article is the perfect example: rejecting a water brand aimed at the punk style because it's 'toxically masculine' is utterly ridiculous.

And FYI 'toxic masculinity' is a bigoted, cis-phobic and misandrist concept to begin with - let alone discussing serious issues such as sexual assault, we're talking about water for gosh sakes.

The world is full of people building an identity of being 'holier than though' it's why actors/actresses build a public image and brand often by supporting some specific cause that they ostensibly 'care' about. 'Saying you care' about something is basically meaningless, what matters are those who 'do something' about it.

Famous leaders, business leaders, politicians - all are caught in a game of having to appear moral, which is why the end up usually talking far beyond their material, real claims to making the world a better place.

Everyone wins a few social points by seeming moral, or righteous, and it's just too easy to find something arbitrary somewhere and condemn it for some arbitrary reason.

We're talking about water.

Edit: if we're going to take a legit run at this brand it could be with regards to packaging, or the blatantly ridiculous nature of branding H20 (... even thought it will probably work!)
No, a (good) therapist helps you find things that would be difficult or impossible to find on your own, it's literally an outside perspective. If what you did works for you, you either didn't have any serious mental health issues to begin with, or you figured out a hack to avoid thinking about the things which trouble you, which isn't much different from people avoiding problems by losing themselves in work, alcohol, religion, whatever. It's essential to have techniques to help yourself stay on an even keel, but it's damaging to other people who actually have problems to encourage them to dismiss their problems as insufficient detachment.

Announcing Dart 2.3: Optimized for building user interfaces
> In the case of DRM, chrome is fulfilling a market desire

If by market you meant content creators? Then yes, yes it did.

It was a top-down decision made between RIAA, MPAA and some content providers like Netflix. Firefox was sure that Google (not being evil) would stand up to the DRM, and basically, not accept it. With Flash dying, the content providers would have to create their own browser addons and add a stumbling block for DRM. But nope, Google decided DRM was Good™ and blessed the black blob of code residing in every browser.
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/05/mozilla-and-drm

Sure you can disable the option but your unaudited DRM blob is still in Firefox. You'd have to manually extract that piece of code and recompile the browser. And if you think that's a reasonable effort for average consumer, then we have nothing to discuss.

This is hugely noticeable playing/practicing/learning music.

Just yesterday playing guitar.. I was fighting playing the wrong note cause my brain was guessing that was the next note because so often in so much music it would be. It was something like 3 notes that are in a particular scale and my brain really wanted to play the next note in the scale instead of the correct next note.

In all activities our brain internalizes how to do things and we can suddenly do them without having to think consciously about how it's happening.. huge in sports and anything with motor skills... music, video games, etc, etc..

Exactly my point. Good and evil, in the real world, have no correlation with religious symbols. Both the oppressed and the oppressors are both Muslims and Christians.
Agreed, but many houses in the Bay Area were built in the 1920's (both the houses I've owned were). The windows in my house are not sealed well. The double-hung sash windows have space for the rope and I can feel a draft on windy days.

He was an undergrad for 4 years. He was in grad school for over 8 years. He then worked for 4 years at GM. So by the time he is 41 he has worked 4 years. He is laid off, with 4000 other people. Most of them were able to line up new jobs. He was not. If his engineering talent is as great as people here are suggesting, employers would be lining up to hire him. There's a massive talent shortage. Competent engineers do not stay unemployed. His main accomplishment is that while at a university in West Virginia he, and other students, did some emission testing on a project suggested by his graduate advisor. Contrary to claims in the thread, he did not discover cheating, that was found out by others. He did some emissions testing. That's great. We do need emission testers. How many? Don't know. Does he have exemplary skills in this? Where is the evidence.

The H1B program is not for permanent employment or a guarantee of citizenship. We have other programs that are more suitable for that. He spent 17 years here, 4 which he actually worked, and his work was not good enough to get a single job offer after layoff despite having a PhD (albeit from an almost totally unknown and undistinguished university).

You wish to argue he is entitled to US citizenship now. Why?

It appears that the US has more worker visas than any country in the world. I was just reviewing the numbers and couldn't find any countries that allow more people in on work visas. Likewise for student visas. We have one of the most generous immigration policies, if not the most, in the entire world. And the US lets in people from all countries, with a huge disparity - people from India are massively overrepresented. We are more generous with Indian nationals than any other origin.

Yet constant claims of racism, of hating the evil United States, of making one demand after another, of complete entitlement. Totally thankless, hateful, racist people making these comments, and totally contradicted by the actually measurable facts. It's absolutely shameful and disgusting to see this hate, disrespect and contempt for America.
