The Raspberry Pi is a recommended base for openHAB and a prepared image is provided for easy use.
I use more for other purposes but openHAB is the important one. The Rpi is also nice for it as many hardware receivers/transmitters are compatible

Medical guilds, unions and financial players are mature, strong and in-place. Many if not most, are well paid across the spectrum, and therefore can afford their own services. Why bring prices down ?

I think something is lost when doing this. I'd bet the researcher who first builds a model and then reaches for ml will outperform the researcher who goes straight for ml.

Building a custom model will help with feature selection. It will provide a baseline to compare the ml model to which can help debug problem points of the ml model. And finally it serves as a sanity check that you aren't leaving a lot of performance on the table.
Just the other day there was a thread comparing start times for LibreOffice, where 3 seconds was considered good. Three seconds on modern hardware is a damned eternity. How much does LibreOffice do that Word 5.0 doesn't, really? Yet the latter would probably start inside an emulator faster than the former does natively.
Insider Reveals Google Plan to Prevent 'Trump Situation' in 2020
To contrast your experience, I was prescribed an oral retinoid as a teenager. As someone who was already depressed, what followed was one of the worst depressive episodes of my life.

There's definitely a fine line to walk between effective treatment and harm reduction when it comes to that class of medication.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I hope things are better now.
The methods used in this paper are not convincing contributing to the conclusions. Also, I truly wonder the standard of SCIENCE.

No, linux would make use of the full memory once loaded. I had forgotten about loadlin, but I think I used it when I had installed slackware from a stack of floppies or redhat from a CD back in the day.
Futura is a nice typeface, I would argue, but it's not a very good body typeface. And the commenter who noted that (a) this is specifying the "light" weight rather than the regular weight is correct; that's just not a good choice for body text. The low contrast of #555 text on #FFF background compounds the problem. (That's technically a WCAG Level AAA-compliant contrast ratio, but at 7.45:1, just barely; I like lighter-than-pure-black text on darker-than-pure-white background, but I tend to aim for at least a 12:1 contrast ratio on a site I expect people to be, you know, reading lots of text on.)

That commenter is also right that Futura PT is a commercial, closed-source font, which makes this entire thing rather moot until this is fixed.

Also: if you're going to include custom typefaces, for the love of all that's holy, please include the italic and bold versions of the typeface if they exist and you expect users to use them. Letting browsers make fake bold is bad enough; letting them just slant text to make fake italics is eye-bleeding.

First-everness struck from title above.
I did switch to the best available plan at the soonest date I could, but that was halfway into the pregnancy
The context (which isn't obvious, and I don't blame you for not knowing it) is that the Internet is held together by spit and duct tape. The only reason it works at all is that major participants are good actors, in the sense that:

1. They implement basic precautions to prevent dumb things from going wrong.

2. They're available 24/7, to immediately respond to and remediate whatever does go wrong.

3. Both of the above are core obligations, which supersede any questions of public relations or maturity or higher-ups not wanting to be bothered.

If Verizon can't be trusted to properly operate their network, that's an immediate threat to the health of the Internet, and many people do need to be made aware of it. It's not just Cloudflare being salty because their customers yelled at them.
I used the yosys demo found in the readme to learn verilog alongside my computer science machine organization curriculum, and that was a blast! It's a wonderful little simulator and has plenty of examples for commonly taught logic circuits in university.
Well, I'd like to see a long-term follow-up on the participants. Some people self-report lasting mental changes from hallucinogens.
As someone who came from a similar background, the ice broke when I went from trying to write code the C way- in whole files, running the nascent program from the command line, struggling with compiler errors, adding printlns for debugging- to working at the repl. The repl is the whole thing.
The article completely misses the fact that every modern browser supports HTTP/2 which solves the problem of many concurrent HTTP requests. Moreover I don't like that the performance was measured with Chrome Dev Tools because I experienced significantly slower performance simply just by opening Dev Tools.
The big story is the electric vehicle revolution is finally starting to really take off. Thanks to rapidly falling battery prices, EV's will be as cheap as ISE's for the largest cars starting around 2023, and for successively smaller ones in the following years. In addition governments all over the world are pushing EV adoption with many sorts of measures.

In the last year the big car companies have finally realized this, and that they are in danger of going bankrupt if they get left behind, and so they are seriously getting behind making EV's. To give one outstanding example VW has signed contracts for 48 billion dollars worth of batteries.
In the US, all I can say is write your senators, house representative, and donate to campaigns with sensible policies. It does seem closer to reality now than ever before now.
> What strikes me the most is that this whole "event" would have hardly even registered on anyone's radar (it affected less than 10% of their traffic during early hours of the morning.

It wasn't just CloudFlare who were affected. And the time of day is completely irrelevant, I live in Australia and was affected by this during evening peak time. Some very popular services (eg: discord) were completely knocked offline.

I think you're underestimating the impact of this event.
Nothing is ever new in IT. A similar incident happened 22 years ago. Buggy and/or misconfigured gear disaggregates and reannounces routes and creates a blackhole.

Sticking with just restoring original components isn't necessarily the most interesting result. I like that a different path was taken.
While oil does have an advantage over coal in energy density, coal has an advantage over oil in its mobility. Environmentalists don't protest the railroad that's carrying coal as much as they protest pipelines.
I was referring to the mobile networks able to do the broadcast and questioning why they couldn't of done a number routing for their network to rout all emergency calls to the alternative number. Which for their customer permutations of use, would be far more efficient and indeed safer if you factor in the delay in the user having to read an sms in the middle of a crisis that dictated calling the emergency service in the first place.
I see your point. You don't want to wallop an entire industry but at some point it kind of has to happen.

"The second piece is phasing out fossil fuel production more broadly. Inslee would establish a “Presidential Commission on Energy Transition” (including the secretaries of several federal agencies) that will be “tasked with identifying and setting in motion the implementation of federal policies to phase out domestic fossil fuel production.” The commission will have a special focus on a “just transition” for fossil fuel workers and communities."

My biggest concern here. Hope it is more comprehensive than this vox outline.
Internet outages are much more common than phone outages. Having two independent systems available would be ideal, but governments would never go for that. It's better to rely on the phone network.

Ask HN: Should I Work for a Startup?
Hi all,

I just received an offer at a startup mainly doing team management and little bit of engineering (~15% of my job). I'm currently a freshman community college student straight out of high school and I was wondering if it was worth it to maybe stop a year of CC to work in a startup.

I might not be able to transfer within next year if I take this position but I feel like this would be some valuable experience that'd eventually make me competitive in the workforce.

What are y'all thoughts on temporarily stopping academics to work at a startup? I'm hoping I can gain some valuable experience for my future career in tech.

Thanks!
1. Not all companies give you such options
2. A lot of the cost is in fine print of things not covered, e.g. during our delivery two of the many many medical personnel were out of network and we ended up paying a huge co-pay for that — but it wasn’t like we could have checked ids for each doctor entering the room etc for insurance acceptance. They entered, they did something, they billed.
Several companies provide a rtc in modular form. Most people don't need one since they enable ntp by default. And people who do just pony up the $5 or whatever, and plug one in.
You were probably also using several thousand dollar computers.

Try making the same claim using a thrift store laptop for < $200 which is all the computing power a whole lot of people have access to (if any). Yes computing is fine (and a little better than 20 years ago) for software made and used by wealthy people. You have to slide down the curve a bit to discover the frustration with everything being terribly hungry for ever-increasing resources.
Do we also need to ensure jobs for carriage makers?

If we do a green new deal type of thing, I think it will work out in aggregate. There will be a massive increase in training for people to work on the manufacturing/installation of renewable energy production and another large need for engineers to design the new manufacturing components, electrical grid, and the large scale installations. Many manufacturing and installation jobs for fossil fuels will be lost but many similar jobs will also be created with renewables.

We generally seem to be ok with saying "eh, screw em" when people's livelihoods become obsolete. I don't see why this should be any different, given the stakes.
The first federal minimum wage was .25 in 1938. An inflation calculator shows that would be $4.54 in 2019. Based on that, I would have to conclude the minimum wage has more than kept up with the inflation rate.

>I really have to object to your implication that the "angry white male" demographic can or should be conflated with white supremacists.

You can object, but it isn't my implication. You should direct your objections to the white supremacists who successfully took control of and steered the narrative in that direction. I didn't just sit here and decide there was a connection between that demographic and white supremacy, self-identified members of that demographic fervently and enthusiastically declared across the internet that theirs was a racially motivated cause, and the phenomenon was widespread enough to have been covered throughout the media.

Actually, you probably should have objected years ago when that was happening, and you were being warned.

>Just because you find it rather problematic when a certain Presidential candidate I won't mention by name labels y'all as "the basket of deplorables", doesn't make you a white supremacist.

Funny you should mention that, because it actually does, but not for the reason you've been led to believe.

Let's look at the actual "basket of deplorables" comment, verbatim, and see if when it was said, it was referring to (and condeming) all Trump voters, as people like yourself seem to believe:

You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters
into what I call the basket of deplorables. (Laughter/applause) Right?

They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic – you name it.

Now... who are the "deplorables" being referred to here?

All Trump supporters? No.

Literally half? No, she made a gross generalization and later apologized for it, but obviously it was a generalization.

The reasonable, non-racist Trump supporters? No.

All white people? No.

All poor white people? No.

The lower classes? No.

The Trump supporters Hillary was calling deplorable are the oones you should consider deplorable - "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic," the people who are responsible for the implications you object to. She put her point across poorly, and it's become a thought terminating cliche at this point, but her thesis was correct.

Also, a brief look at your comment history reveals you like to associate progressives and Democrats with racism, support for eugenics and mass murder, while having nothing but praise for Republicans and conservatives.

Decorum precludes me from telling you precisely where you can shove your hypocrisy, partisan nonsense and feigned outrage, but you could find it with a mirror if you tried.
I'm really afraid that ML is mainly just going to become automated p-hacking, and bring about a dark age to much of science. In a publish or perish world, how can you compete with someone with enough budget to set a bunch of models looking for any specious correlations in data sets and publishing what comes out the other end? Like we'll still have great breakthroughs from the top of the field, but a lot of grunt work style studies are going to lose their ability to be trusted.
They should obviously dockerize it. :D
> Google shouldn't be speaking in such a cavalier fashion about Trump.

Google isn't. A loose private conversation involves context clues. "The Trump Situation" clearly refers to content manipulation not "the election of Trump".

Perhaps all Googlers should forever speak in formally verifiable language to avoid any ambiguity lest their words be weaponized.
I can only speak about NYC but this was a common cost range even with diamond plans from corporations. A lot of it can be fine print and delta balance billing.
the issue is that in aggregate, this is true, but its a case of Simpsons paradox. Housing price growth in cities exceeds CPI by a large margin, and has pretty consistently since the early aughts. Housing price growth in exurban and rural areas has largely stagnated since 2009. You get a strange issue where the people in top 25 cities are paid well and struggling to pay rent, and people in the bottom 20% of census tracts are paid very poorly if at all, and are also struggling to make rent. Slicing even further, there is a generational component, where young people moving to a new city or out of their house within the same city generally pay more for rents than someone in the older generation for a number of reasons that can basically be summed up as "the small land lord rental market is inefficient and YoY rent growth after occupancy historically has lagged market rate rent growth for people moving in to a vacant unit"
I have a mild objection to this headline: in context, "intriguing" plants the suggestion that there were positive results, or at least potential avenues of future research, whereas the article body states pretty clearly that there was no effect:

> In the end, the researchers conclude the LSD microdoses did not affect the majority of mood, cognition and physiological measures that were examined.

It goes on to say:

> However, it is also noted this is not at all a final determination on the ultimate veracity of LSD microdosing, either as a cognitive booster, or an anti-depressant. This is merely the first step in trying to empirically understand the acute effects of this oft-reported anecdotal phenomenon.

More research is always good, but it's important to remember that cases like this where the purported effects are on things like mood and creativity (which are tricky to measure and probably have significant day-to-day variation) are going to be especially vulnerable to placebo effects and wishful thinking. When you combine this with gwern's also-negative result, I don't think you can escape the conclusion that LSD microdosing probably does nothing.

Batteries are key. Demand is expected to quadruple in the next 5 years, and battery manufacturers are going to struggle to keep up. As a consequence many auto manufacturers are going find their sales constrained by their battery supplies.

Tesla is at present way ahead of all the other auto companies here. That's because Musk realized a decade ago how important battery production is, and so Tesla and Panasonic built a battery factory that was about 10 times larger than any existing one. But who knows what the future will bring.
Sherpa refers to the ethnic group, sherpa refers to the profession
Agreed. When the GP comment said

> they struggle plenty in their day-to-day lives that they have no bandwidth to form an opinion about or, heck, even _learn about_ such things

It reminded me of Chomsky's anecdote about listening to the radio and hearing random people calling into the station during a sports discussion program and arguing at length with paid experts, suggesting average people are perfectly capable of doing research and building nuanced opinions on complex topics, they just choose to do that for sports/cars/technology/consumption rather than politics. Or rather, are bombarded by marketing until they forget they can choose.

You didn't say why, which is fine, but I hope there is something more significant than just "twins" and that there is an actual intent to change treatment based on all that testing. If you wouldn't take specific action based on the results, then the exposure is unjustified. Satisfying curiosity is not a proper justification.

See the Chinese ultrasound study. It's a study that is impossible to perform in the USA because it wouldn't pass ethical review. Ultrasounds were proven to cause structural changes in the brain. One can reasonably assume that structural changes are bad.
This seems intuitively obvious, but all the research I’ve read suggests the opposite: a very sizable fraction of people with suicidal ideation will not commit suicide if given even marginally fewer opportunities to do so.

Depending on where you live, the best public schools can often be accessed only by address, and are quite often limited to homes (not apartments). So yes, depending on where you live, housing costs are a big part of child raising costs.
