I'd like to know what these platforms are even 'doing'?

If we're talking about a sort of general concept of consensus, it seems like many use cases could just be handled by a traditional database.

If that's the case many of them might be obsolete now.
This is quite an interesting perspective, and as someone that has been struggling with depression lately I found this kind of comforting in a weird way. Thank you for sharing this!
This seems a little... sketchy.

Who gets to define what the "ideal human" is?

If the ideal can change, doesn't that make classifying mental illness completely subjective?

If so, doesn't that mean you can essentially declassify your own mental illness if you can normalize it via political and social vectors?
Why not go "remote" work and live wherever(possible) you want?
Ask HN: What are the biggest challenges/annoyances with working on remote teams?
Those of you who run or work with/as/ distributed/remote teams. What are the biggest challenges/annoyances you face in your day to day work?
Europe or Canada sound like a good option for you my friend, good luck! I'm not sure about Australia never done any research over it since it's too far for me
Also the vampire keeps firebombing your house telling you that you should instead live in the house that the vampire is selling, filled with wiretaps and bathroom cameras so he can sell those to third parties for a profit.
It's not business travel that's the problem, it's burning fuel that's the problem. If the 1% are the only people who can fly, that's a lot less fuel being burned. Heavily taxing 10% of fliers (who can easily afford it) is a no-op when it comes to reducing the buring of fuel. Now you have exactly the same amount of fuel being burned, and a tax yielding revenue that if anything motivates the recipients of that tax to encourage more flying.

If you massively raise prices for everyone to fly, less fuel gets burned, and the people burning the fuel are paying into a pool that ideally would be used to alleviate inequality on any other front.

If you want to tax the rich, just tax the rich based on them being rich; don't greenwash it.
Since mental illness is largely defined as any sort of behavior or thoughts that make it difficult for one to be a productive member of society, however that society defines ‘productive’, if the structure of society changes such that previously normal and healthy behaviors and beliefs become destructive and difficult for people, that will lead to an increase in so-called mental illness even if people as individuals haven’t changed at all.
I'd like to bring attention to the size of this issue. It's not Indigenous women in Canada, it's all of America.

Ayurveda has said for centuries about balancing your doshas, pitta, kapha etc. These are all related to your gut, a good gut relates to a good mind.

Google the "gut brain axis" or a "leaky gut". All this processed food, sugar, salt and other chemicals being added in like MSG, estrogen pumped into cows to fatten them etc creates a crap gut, which causes inflammation of the gut and eventually inflammation of the brain. The net effect is depression, suicidal thoughts etc. This is more prominent in some than others as the composition of their gut bacteria varies so much.
They offer a 4 week free trial actually.

one of my co-workers (a patent agent) moved from venezuela to america when he was 35 years old and then moved to australia from america when he was about 40...he is now a lawyer, and he never went to law school!
EDIT: Seems I got baited. Removing my comment to bring things back on topic.
How do people expect to maintain an advantage in design and engineering when they have outsourced production? Where are the younger generations going to learn the things they don't teach you in university? Isn't it a huge advantage for a designer when you are the one getting your prototypes from the factory down the street?
That sounds like a choice. 25 minutes is the national average.
Depends where they're registered. The vast majority of countries have signed on to the conventions forbidding dumping, and can enforce it on ships flagged in their countries, but a seastead intending to dump would presumably not sign on.

Yes, it is WAY more relaxed from the way you are describing. Is there any way to contact you, if that is okay with you?
Since I've been mentoring Soslan for a bit, let me offer to do a reference call/email for any interested employers. I've been around HN a long time and can address any of the questions this audience is likely to have.

Soslan is a highly motivated entry-level candidate and I think he would be a strong opportunity for teams looking to add some incremental junior capacity at a low cost.

Do check out his portfolio, which I think shows a fair amount of polish and variety for someone at his stage of career.
I assume one potential issue is the question of where people are actually working from. Although in my experience, most people have an official location even if they’re rarely there. It may differ with consultants etc. who may be working from a customer site for months.

I absolutely see the point about the value of data going up, and again, that's the paradigm we're living in now. It's just that I'm not sure this is going to last for long. What's new in ML is, at its core, increasingly powerful pattern matching. But with even some moderately strong cognitive functions on top of that, the data processing monster could start feeding on itself, i.e. go out to get new data on its own. We don't have enough images of donkeys feeding on grass for our object recognizer to match against? Let me coordinate with our drone network to go get a couple of terrabytes...
So there are a lot of factors that go into this. First, let's consider earning potential:

- What is your earning potential in the US?

- What is your earning potential in [other country]?

- How many years on your current immigration status can you remain in the US?

Context: I'm Australian. I now live and work in the US because the earning potential for a software engineer here is 5x what it is in Australia. As long as you're spending less than you earn you can pack many years of saving into the US in a short period of time so it's worth considering a longer stay even if it is still temporary.

Citizenship:

- What is your current country or countries of citizenship?

- Is your plan to become a citizen of [other country]?

- Do you want to retain your existing citizenship(s)?

- What is your time frame for wanting to gain citizenship?

Some examples:

- You can get Irish citizenship in 4-5 years (IIRC) and can retain your existing citizenship

- Austrian, German and Dutch citizenship (again, IIRC) require you to renounce your existing citizenship to become a citizenship (there are exceptions).

- If your goal is to get EU citizenship because that comes with a lot of benefits like being able to live and work in 27 (or 26 after Brexit) countries.

These are the options I would consider and the reasons why:

1. Ireland. EU citizenship in a relatively short period of time. English-speaking, developed economy and employment opportunities. Also, the country is relatively welcoming to immigration.

2. Canada. This can effectively prolong your stay in the US forever. After gaining Canadian citizenship you can essentially work forever in the US on TN visas.

3. Australia. Relatively easy to get immigration status as a software engineer with a college degree who speaks, reads and writes English (there's a point system). I believe the time frames are relatively short and this too will open up the ability to work in the US via the E3 visa.

There are other factors that come into play too like family situations, long term plans, where you plan to retire, etc.
As mentioned that was the webpage that raised the hairs on the back of my neck. It was Tim Cook himself who confirmed my suspicions for me. EFF also had some good info too, when you're ready to start digging in. Good luck to you. ️
nginx and others use worker processes instead of worker threads, with epoll in each worker. This is for robustness and garbage collection, AFAIK.

There is a significant physiological advantage to black text on white background. A bright background causes your pupil to constrict, which reduces the active area of your lens focusing light onto your fovea. Using less lens area reduces the affect of any lens imperfections, which results in a sharper image. If your lens is nearly perfect, you likely don't notice a difference. If you have significant imperfections, the difference is probably very noticeable.

Edit: The effect is similar to a pinhole occluder used by an ophthalmologist to test your eyes without the affect of refractive errors from imperfections in your eye lenses. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_occluder
You said you have 10 year wait for green card. So you must be either from India or China.

Canada's express entry is the best option for you if you can sacrifice a pay cut. All other countries are turning anti immigrant nowadays. So tread carefully in case of other countries.

IMO, money is not all that important when compared with the high levels of stress, anxiety and uncertainty about the future in US when you are on H1B.

I went that route (express entry) and never looked back and is doing well and settled in Canada without any regrets. The tech scene is getting better in Canada.

Google Sheets is the main reason I gave up on Google Docs and bought an Office 365 subscription for myself a few years back. It's just nowhere near as good as Excel. Frankly none of the Google Docs offerings holds a candle to Microsoft Office[1], so the latter is well worth the money to me.

[1] I am tactfully not counting GMail as part of GDocs here because, honestly, Outlook is the one tool that wouldn't come off well in that comparison, and reason #1 is that Outlook's search is terrible; reason #2 is that Outlook doesn't perform at all well in the face of the modern "I want to keep all my mail so that I can search for and find relevant messages whenever I need them", which can be key when dealing with tricksy customers/partners/co-workers, and is handy even in mundane day to day use.
PathAI | Boston, MA or Austin, TX | https://pathai.com | Onsite / Remote (US)

PathAI is looking for front- and back-end engineers and engineering managers to work toward detecting diseases like cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

We're working with a modern stack using Python/Django/Flask/DRF, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology. I wrote about what this means to us: https://twitter.com/mjacksonw/status/1090693541565734914

We're growing quickly, so we're especially excited to bring on tech leads, but early- and mid-career developers who have great software engineering chops can find a great home here as well. You'll just want to make sure you have solid skills in python/django (on the back-end), vue/react (on front), or similar to be a decent fit.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in. We're well-funded with strong revenue, growth, and – most importantly – impact.

After having lived in various places in China I would say that the most important criteria to consider is whether you'd actually enjoy living there.
I could have topd them how to prevent more murdered or missing aborigional woman and it would have cost a lot less than $ 92 million

1. Take some of that 92 million to run a bus service along the highway of tears and similar areas where lots of female hitch hikers go missing- or even just not arrest private entities who dont have state permission from running their bis service.

2. Create acess points and resources for indigenous women who want to find work on cities.

3. Actually give native people their tribal land instead of doing this thing where government cotrols sale and use of the land and natives have "fake ownership" where they get to live there. Either that or just be honest and admit youre not giving them the land and compensate with money.

4. Make native governments actual governments that people might actually care enough to vote for rather than puppet governments that have to have every decision approved by the corrupt Indian Affairs branch of government.

https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/ava4kk/canadas-first-nati...

You got that government of Canada? You want to stop the murser of Canadian indigenous women all you have to do is stop facilitaing their deaths and creating circumstances where their deaths are inevitable. You dont have to spend 92 million on beurocratic reports that go nowhere.

What do we get for our 92 million $ report. We get crap like make native languages official languages like French. What does that mean - school kids learn every single native language on school like we do French? Every government agency has to have someone who speaks every one of the various native languages? The 92 million dollar report is fulled with quaint, unrealistic solutions that don't solve the problem. How is that going to stop these women from dying.

What native communities need to do is stop playing ball declare war and start stockpiling munitions. They need to fight back violently against the opressive tyrannical structure that has led to so many deaths in their communities. Only then do we have any hope of change. Because until they start shooting our government is going to keep this ridiculous structure that keeps natives imprisoned
Lol we definitely have all of that.

Camps -> Prisons

Cheap Workers -> Immigrants

Gigantic Rich soil -> all of America.

The political system here is incredibly rotten, though. That's the main difference.
I'm not familiar with any curriculum focusing on constructivist foundations. Out of curiosity, why do you feel constructivist foundations would be more complementary to theoretical computer science?
Disagree.

As soon as one person's actions can affect another person a system arises for resolving their inevitable conflicts and facilitating cooperation if required. What do you call that system? Many would call that "government." That does seem appropriate if the definition of government is:

> the political system by which a country or a community is administered and regulated.

Of course, "government" as manifested in multi-million person nations is significantly evolved from it's abstract underpinnings both etymologically and philosophically. Same is true of the notions of political, community, administered, and regulated. But all that evolution (both its pros and cons) falls out logically from the foundational relationship of two beings with agency trying to figure out how and if to restrain that agency when it conflicts with the other's.

EDIT: I see from a sibling you're referring to "Anarchism." That doesn't free anyone for the reality of government it just changes where the restraining lines get drawn. In practice, the lines predictably get drawn in favor of the powerful just as they do in more mainstream systems of government.
I feel the same as op and struggle to work from home but my social life is plenty active outside work. I would describe it more like a preference to not have a TV in your bedroom. It helps to have that separation. The suggestion to try a coworking space is maybe a good one because I know many friends that are fine waking up and working in pajamas but I have to shower and leave the house to feel good about my headspace
I’ve never seen a receipt survey in person so I did a google search. Apparently they used to have authentication built into the redemption process by requiring the original receipt [0]. However, it appears only the generated QR code is required for the new process [1].

Any amount of profile information can be associated with an account. But a better, more secure technique than describing the account, would be to create a temporary token for the account and share it with support. That proves you're authorized to ask support to make changes in that account.
