I honestly think insomnia is 75% of the time just caffeine or some other chemical influence, and the other 25% of instances being psychological state in the form of obsession/anxiety/excitement.

Truthfully, though, and this grants observers a window into more deeply rooted social issues, it wouldn't be insomnia if we weren't forced to wake up according to any schedule but our own. If everyone could sleep whenever they wanted, and wake whenever they wanted, we wouldn't even have a word for insomnia. The manufactured "problem" disappears.

So, if you suffer from insomnia, consider that the problem isn't you. Maybe it's just that everyone else needs to disappear.
Lowering the number of jobs needed should be a good thing. Moving more money into a poorer area should be a good thing.

I would say that even though it may be commonly used it is a bad name for Integers because it is not mnemonic. "I" would be a much better name for the set of Integers I would think.

But whatever you call it should not be too much effort to state in the beginning of a presentation or chapter or book, these are the symbols we will be using:

I = Set of Integers, ....

Sure it might be redundant but it is also easy for the reader to step over such explanations if they are familiar with them, but come back if they find some symbol they are not quite sure of. Question is are we trying to make the book easy for readers to understand, or short for the writer to write.

Some of the reasons why petrol won:

There was no electric grid to speak of - even now there is concern the grid can't support all EV's, once you were outside the cities (and there weren't many back then) the grid was spotty. The miracle of being able to pour some cheap liquid in an engine and drive for miles is a considerable achievement.

Lead acid batteries weren't very good and were expensive (and still are) and don't last long compared to petrol engines.

Electric motors were big then - it was only rare earth magnets that made them small enough to consider using in cars at high speed/ranges.

Its always been possible to make a small electric commuter car to drive round at 30mph for short distances but even today there are none like this, because people want to take their cars on the road on the weekend without having to worry. In the 1900's it was the call of the open road and cheap travel (petrol was very cheap then) that made petrol win.

Thank you to all commenters. I'd be hard-pressed to find this kind of advice in any other community, let alone for free, and I appreciate each of you taking the time. I've had a day to reflect, and have decided to remain focused on my product and continue to subsidize through freelancing and non-tech work.

I realize now that I didn't give enough consideration to what would be imperative to an employer and the largest change from my experience working solo - functioning as a team member. I'm a lone wolf, and while I don't think that's inherently right or wrong, it's how I deliver my best work.

I think perhaps I'll revisit this idea in the future with my improved perspective, but for now I know that what I truly want is to support myself with a product I can call my own, even if it comes at the expense of a heftier paycheque.

I have become so cynical that my first thought was “this seems like something Mr. Barr would exaggerate the magnitude of to distract from all the bad press he is getting right now...” What’s the old adage? When politicians start saying “think of the children!” they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. (That’s not a direct quote, and I realize I am semi-misapplying it).

I am not proud of that thought. I work in juvenile dependency law and know how vile sex-trafficking and child pornography are. Yet it still seems like a reasonable first impression given the political climate.

Kudos to the Dept. of Justice though.

Lots of my young HK friends are having bitter fights with their parents because their parents don't support the protests. In any society, especially one like HK, there's always going to be a lot of pro-institutionalist people. They might not think that Carrie Lam is the best administrator possible but they think it's better not to rock the boat.

If you're out on the streets and talking to people, then of course all of them are anti-extradition since that's why they're out. Ask them instead if they know anyone who is against the protests. I'm sure they'll tell you about HS friends or uncles or bosses who are for this bill passing. The last public polling had 11% in support of the bill which, while definitely not a majority, is also not insubstantial and is too large to be dismissed as a viewpoint generated entirely through manufactured propaganda.

this is the same with poker. lots of resources and more opportunity to play the game.

in the early 2000s internet poker starting getting more and more popular and more and more knowledge was made available because of the internet. more and more players trained on the internet began showing up to live tournaments.

a lot of the "live" pros hated the way "internet kids" were playing poker but at the same time those internet kids had probably played more hands than most of the live pros did.

in a live setting you're lucky to get 30 hands an hour. probably more average would be 10-15. meanwhile players online were getting anywhere from 75-90 hands an hour.... per table. okay players probably could get to 4 tables with no trouble while at the extreme end there were people 24-tabling. 24*75 = 1800. that's about 60 hours at best for a live player.
Isn't this a lot like asking why Tyson invested in Beyond Meat when BYND is a threat to Tyson? Maybe you could call this defensively "investing in the future" of your industry (if this turns out to be anything at all).

It's always been my view that Facebook type social platforms are generally bad for society. They have too much power.

The article mentioned one of the persons that FB categorized as 'hate agents' is Paul Joseph Watson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Joseph_Watson).

Tomorrow it could be someone else.

That FB (and other massive social platforms such as Twitter, etc) has this power is worrisome.

Just today, there was news that Twitter blocked ~4900 accounts that are linked to Iranian government or related entities.

Too much power. Too concentrated. In one country.

The world should stop using these massive platforms to spread any news.

Ask HN: What Happened to Optimizely (YC W10) ?
I'm was relatively interested in the A/B testing space in the past but got away from it recently. However, I had need of it again and remembered that Optimizely used to be the go-to A/B testing service for websites. However, when I went to their website now, I can barely tell what they do anymore. It doesn't even seem like you can create an account without talking to a "Specialist". The Plans page has no pricing on it - you have to "Talk to Sales". The "Get Started" button on the homepage takes you to a contact form.

What happened? Did they decide that there is no consumer marketing for a/b testing? Or did they get bit by the Enterprise-bug and decided to focus solely on the Fortune 500? It's a shame really. Now I have to start looking for a new a/b testing service.

Step by step, my friend. We cannot expect the whole industry to shift overnight, but the shift to more paper bags, recycling, renewable energy is happening in China right now. Tier 1 cities are very tough on recycling right now, and most residential complexes had set up very good recycling guidelines since ~March, which are, surprisingly, followed by local residents. Next year they're opening a new nuclear plant nearby, and some wind turbines are being set up now along the coast. One step at a time.
Trying to solve a problem that isn’t actually a problem. Tabs work fine. “But your using the tabs sort of like bookmarks” is like complaining someone is using a fork/knife combo to eat pasta and wanting to therefore redesign a knife that works more like a spoon.
In such an instance, “controlled stop” means that the system has the capability to control both steering and braking, so that the system can continue to ensure it is not leaving the lane as it brakesand is not hitting objects in the lane ahead. “Immediate stop” is the final fallback mechanism for the extremely improbable occurrence that everything in the system is failing.

That was the paragraph I found interesting. It seems to me in the worst case scenario from what I can tell it just slams the brakes and hopes for the best. It would be interesting to hear a response of what the truck would do in a jamming situation. I assume since it would not lose it cameras and other sensors it would slow down and pull over.
Yes, if you joke about 'murdering the head of state' - any reasonable state is probably going to look into it.

But in this case, joking about a historical event, inviting a foreign country to invade is way beyond reality, obviously.

So, if you invited the 'Germans to invade America' again, nobody will come knocking except the Twitter Nazis. (Pun intended).

Show HN: Distroverify – A tool to automatically verify hashes of any distro file
Github Link: https://github.com/prahladyeri/distroverify

Folks,

I'm a distro hopper who mainly hops between ubuntu distros such as ubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu-mate, etc.

One thing I've found is the frequent need to verify the SHA1 hashes of the local and original version found on cdimage.ubuntu.com. Sometimes, you forget to verify the hash immediately and later, you have to again scavenge for that download URL in your browser history and then find the hash files URL, isn't it?

For this, I've created a tool called distroverify that automatically pulls the corresponding sha1hash file (based on regex of the file-name) and verifies it for you.

Right now, it supports only the buntus but I plan on adding support for debian and fedora too depending on the response. Its open source and MIT licensed, so please test and let me know if you like it!

pip install distroverify

Under "Segmented Video Upload Processing" they explain how cutting up the video before upload makes it easier to process. Does anyone know how they're maintaining audio sync? Every single time I've tried to cut up (mp4/m2ts) video to re-encode it in parallel, I've had it go completely out of sync.
This text is pretty vague. Instead of adressing the layman they should counter the technical points instead so we could see the safeness (maybe they really are making things ..safer?).

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I find that my usage of the web is more like a mind map. In other words, a tree or a directed graph.

I open a tab to accomplish something. From there, I reach out in some primordial/human-brain breadth first search of links in order to accomplish my goal, branching off of branches and coming back up to some parent only to branch again.

For people like me, a linear set of tabs is indeed the wrong abstraction for the way I use the web.

I agree with you that the use case with different stacks is suboptimal and may make sense only in enterprise apps. For consumer apps the impact is indeed too high.

However, just like with microservices the main point is not about having different technology, but about having different lifecycle and deferring the component integration to deployment or even runtime.

Early models of the Nissan leaf weren't too much more than that (though there have been some advances since the invention of electricity). However, golf carts are the modern version of the small electric car - and is street legal in service jurisdictions!

(Okay,
technically what's street legal isn't literally a golf cart, and is called a low speed vehicle (LSV) and will only do 25mph, and aren't always electric, but close enough!)

Sovereign immunity doesn't preclude suing a public university; it doesn't preclude it as a general matter, and definitely doesn't preclude it wrt copyright. One way to look at it is that a university is akin to a municipality--it exercises state powers but it's not the state, per se.

There are many well known copyright claims against public universities. The one that immediately came to mind (I forgot the case citation) would have supported his infringement claim, though it involved xerox'ing of academic textbooks so not quite on point.

It's shorthand for stating a dislike of Google's reputation for short term thinking around products - whenever there's a new Google launch many people's immediate reaction will be "Looks ace, but is it worthwhile investing the time and energy necessary?". That's a complaint Google should take seriously. It's how lots of people in the tech community view Google. As you say, it seems to be posted every time Google launch something.

I was an early adopter, I got an iPad back in the summer of 2010 and have used various models ever since. I've read quite a few of these "replacing a laptop with an iPad" articles and pretty much all of them involve a lot of bending over backwards to make it all work.

I've tried it a few times and it's not just worth it (to me). What I do instead is that I embrace the platform for what it is and don't do any of this remote machine kung fu to mimick a real computer. What I do instead is that I setup applications that sync data through the cloud, so that I can do draft work on my iPad (mostly text, some very light programming), but I never worry about runtimes, compilation etc. Ever since I stopped worrying and just used one of the many text apps (I mostly use iA or Google Keep), I've been much happier - I can focus on text, not on complex workflows.
