* Before the accident the nerve was 100% (undamaged)

* Immediately after it was 0% (could not feel anything - including the sensation of heat)

* 1 year after ~20% (could feel the sensation of heat and firm presses)

* 2 years to now ~70% (could feel heat and soft presses)

I still only type with 7 of 8 fingers on the keyboard because I have a hard time determining the location of that one finger.
> Presumably the development costs and overhead costs are factored in along with a projected number of sold units to come up with a baseline 'cost' of each copy being sold.

Yes, and that is the error. The number of copies is not static, and might as well be considered infinite. With digital goods there is effectively no limit on the number of copies which can be produced at near-zero marginal cost, so cost per copy is a meaningless metric. Unlike physical goods where you need to recoup your variable costs for materials, labor, and capital on each item sold before you can even think about offsetting the fixed cost of R&D, every sale of a digital good contributes to the bottom line regardless of the price.

The single most expensive game to develop to date was apparently Star Wars: The Old Republic at $200 million[1]. If each of the 7.7 billion people on the planet had a copy, however, the development cost per copy would only be about $0.026, affordable even for the most limited budgets. Say that 5% of the population would be interested in trying it out at a price of just $0.25 per copy: that's $481M in revenues, or $281M profit. Or they could choose to make it a monthly subscription service at prices attractive to just 1-2 million players and lose money overall while charging subscribers $100 apiece. Same development cost, different distribution models. There is no predetermined cost per copy below which they are selling at a loss and above which they are selling for a profit.

If you read the ruling, you'll not this is not just about reading the information, but the First Amendment (free speech).

The government cannot prevent people from commenting and discussing the government's speech (through retweets etc). Logging out is not a solution. Sure, you can talk in person, or on Facebook, or even copy-paste the content. But you couldn't retweet, and thus you were blocked from participating in the public discourse.

Turns out, the government can't interfere with private citizen's ability to engage in public discussion about the government, even if it's just on some dumb site like Twitter.

In fact, if his account was private, and it was only discussion for his personal friends or whatever, then there wouldn't even be an issue. The public nature of the account is exactly why he can't block people. It would be like the government sending an official request to Fox News to block democrats from appearing on the air. Sure, they could just watch on TV, but the government has essentially told a private entity they have to block certain citizens from speaking on their platform. It doesn't matter if Fox News would agree to it or not, the government cannot even ask for it.
There’s an element of realpolitik here too: a predictable side effect of ending subsidies for the aerospace industry is that the business would shift to a country that does subsidize. Those companies build a lot of operational knowledge that is super useful — to the point of being a major strategic advantage — in wartime. It also makes you beholden to that country (and subsequent economic sphere of influence) strategically. Governments are responsible for more than just the economy.

Competition between governments is also a thing, and I think we’re already seeing it matter as part of a pullback on globalization with respect to China.
Interestingly, the useful parts (for you, and likely lots of others) are those that would be readily adapted to a regular web app/site.

Check out Figure 6 in this paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsif.201...

"we ... compare resting-state functional brain activity in 15 healthy volunteers after intravenous infusion of placebo and psilocybin—the main psychoactive component of magic mushrooms. The results show that the homological structure of the brain's functional patterns undergoes a dramatic change post-psilocybin, characterized by the appearance of many transient structures of low stability and of a small number of persistent ones that are not observed in the case of placebo."

Psilocybin promotes neuroplasticity/neurogenesis, and the effect isn't subtle. Yet its application is still on the fringe. It's not surprising that this makes a financier salivate. It's more surprising that it isn't yet a gold rush.
Altria did something similar almost 30 years ago with MVFS - https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21230196 - on top of RDM. The SCM tool (IBM Rational Clearcase) that makes use of MVFS to map a database of modifications to a file system is still around.

I always admired the concept behind Clearcase / MVFS, though in practice it was a nightmare to administer.
This same prediction has been going on since 10.6 - over 7 versions ago. How do you propose that Apple forces code signing on programs that run on top of a VM like the CLR or JVM? How do you propose they enforce it for programs run using a scripting language? The best they could do is force signing on the runtimes.

But my point still stands. Today on July 9th 2019 you are not forced to be part of the developer program to distribute apps on the Mac. Despite all of the pollyanish the sky is falling type that has been going on for over a decade.
Dear Apple: for Christmas I'd like physical, no-bullshit power shutoff switches for your camera and microphone on the Macbook Pro. Other devices too—if you can manage it, that'd be great. Sincerely, the people who put tape over their cameras, the people who don't because it's ugly and messes with closing the lid but wish they could, and the people who would be in one of those two camps if they understood the risk (so, altogether, 100% of your users).

I don't think that's the rationale behind this. If a user is clicking a link to start a BlueJeans session, then it's not against the user's prior wishes anymore. It's the user's current wish to start a BlueJeans meeting and that wish requires the BlueJeans app to continue. Without the "detector", the link click just fails and nothing happens. With the detector, it's determined that the app isn't installed and the user is prompted to install BlueJeans. Otherwise, the app is opened and the correct meeting is started/joined. Nothing is silently done here.

That being said, this is still a crappy way to do this. Installing a server is not the solution to this. Browsers need to do a better job of dealing with this and that would get rid of the root issue but, in the interim, these developers need to figure out a better way than installing web servers on everyone's machine. Otherwise, everyone's computer ends up with 10000 of these stupid little single-purpose applications that are always running.
User willingly installs their software, they are not backdooring it. There are plenty of services running on every computer, including TCP servers and web servers. If you're going to call them backdoors, you've got a long list.

And this is why the web browser vendors need to simply disallow this behavior. Websites seem to think they seem to engage in awful behavior to compete with each other. If the browsers just block it outright, then everyone will be on a level playing field.

Remote Software Developer looking for new opportunities
Hi YC, my name's Youssef, I build web and mobile apps, I have 5 years of professional experience as developer, my favorite language is JavaScript but I also like Python.

For mobile I use React Native a cross platform framework for both iOS and Android, on web I am really very flexible and it depends on requirements of the project.

Usually with React.js and Node I can build pretty much everything. If it's an ecommerce store for example I'll go with woocommerce rather than building everything from scratch.

Here's few other things I can help you with : CSS / Flask / SQL / WordPress / Firebase / UI & UX Design / Interactive Prototyping and Wireframing

Languages I don't work with: C / C++ / PHP / Java / Swift

I charge $70/h (negotiable if you have a considerable amount of work)

Min. project budget I accept is $1000 USD

One annoying part about floats is the abuse of the NaN space. Some runtimes like SpiderMonkey, JSC, and LuaJIT abuse the NaN space to store pointers in doubles. This practice is often called nan-boxing, but has a few variants. A more efficient use of bits like with Posits will break this.

As for the claim about a FPU taking up less space and power for posits than floats, facebook made that claim: https://code.fb.com/ai-research/floating-point-math/

I've suddenly seen this pop up all over the place and it has me thinking - what is so important about this story?

By all means, it's very sad and the loss of a loved one is terrible.

I just cant help but think about all of the other people who are impaled by unusual objects and why this case is gaining international traction?

People have been impaled, in the same fashion, by pens and pencils, scissors, forks, and I'm sure a whole host of other objects.

So is it the straw that makes it so news worthy? The cynical part of me wonders if it's because it's an eco-friendly straw? If so, why is that?

Either way, I have empathy for the friends and family. I just fail to see why this is international news.
I like BSD-style init scripts; they are easy to work with and understand. I dislike this trend that systemd started. Pretty soon, everything will be a binary blob. This is one of the reasons I love OpenBSD--no binary blobs. OpenBSD runs great on most laptops with a few issues, but for the most part, I've had great success. It's very stable, easy to learn and use, and more importantly, secure. I want for nothing using it. And I show my age when people see I still run WindowMaker as my preferred DE.
Why not both?

* IRV or approval voting in the Presidency/executive

* Multi-member districts in the House.

MMD in the House, by State, would effectively end gerrymandering - there is no way state borders will change radically enough to affect electoral results. Combine that with breaking the two party duopoly and it's a huge win.

Side note: I know you don't (nor probably anyone in this thread; HN has fewer trolls) have any intention of subverting the idea, but when people online are supporting electoral reform of ANY kind, the first response should be "I agree".

I agree with electoral reform, and my ideas are X, Y, and Z.

If people squabble too early, it kills momentum. Furthermore, perhaps 1% of the population gives a damn about voting systems and its impact on the country. The rest don't know about it, or are part of the private powerhouse organizations known as the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee.

Support electoral reform first, then discuss options.
Those are all projects where those organizations control all of the development, aren't they?
Yes control click is really complicated.
Poorly.

If I remember right, he staged some of the "glitter bomb" footage. Something like half the footage was of actual thieves. The other half was of people he knows. He didn’t disclose this until the video went viral.

Then I guess we're back to letting big companies, who have the resources to do this shit, have Europe, and the small companies, who are too busy building new things, will just grow in other areas before expanding to the EU.
What's rather curious is it uses what appeared to be a nodejs server stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Blue Jeans/, but it passes the path to that to the app bundle (I can't inspect it further since I already deleted that whole folder). My best guess is Blue Jeans wanted the ability to update the server independently of the app, though I don't know why.

I did the same 2006 on a Pentium III. Bootstrapping (installing/compiling the main system) took roughly 48 hours. And ReiserFS was the FS of choice for the portage with its many small files.

Considering there's pretty compelling research that ketamine can help people that suffer from depression and MDMA in conjunction with therapy helps those with PTSD, I really think we should take a very hard look at what drugs should be illegal and why. I'm honestly not convinced there's a good reason most of the schedule 1 drugs should be illegal.

They all seem to have lots of therapeutic uses. Throwing that away seems like a huge waste.

I don't follow.

What I think should happen is that Twitter is not allowed to block anyone from responding with official government accounts, same as any other user of the service (and this would likely also apply to any premium features). When it comes to a non-government account, Twitter can do whatever they want. Only when it comes to government accounts will this equality be enforced, including allowing interactions from someone who has otherwise been banned from the service.

I don't see how Twitter is being law enforcement or judicial system in such a setup.

>Why would you hold Twitter accountable, but not the government?

The one held responsible should depend upon the contract. If the government does not specify or require the equal treatment of all users, then they should be held responsible. If it is required in the contract, and Twitter does not honor it, then Twitter should be held responsible.

Look at your last ticket. The fees being assessed are already being passed through to the end consumer. (Since they’re the one who is bringing the money into the system, they’re obviously the one who is paying it, but in this case it’s pretty transparent already.)
Yes, and it is mostly up to the maintainer of the image on how to handle tags.
Typically minor patch releases are not kept around once the new patch is out.
May be worth filing an issue if this is problematic?
Agree with all the other comments - no voting system can be "perfect", defined by a sufficient number of sometimes contradictory desirable attributes of the system.

Literally anything would be better than FPTP voting for single member districts than what we have now. And, the very act of fixing the system would be a political action, showing that systems can be changed when they are damaged or outdated.

Sure, approval voting might be better than IRV. But as I said elsewhere, the first thing to do when disagreeing with particulars of electoral reform is to agree loudly with the general motion - electoral reform.
>The Jolly Good Principle of Demeter

Or as Jesus said: The Law of Demeter was made for man, not man for the Law of Demeter (Mark 2:27).
I saw this article when it appeared, but was a little disappointed that "homemade" means "built the aircraft ... from a kit manufactured in South Africa by the Airplane Factory". Not to belittle the time, effort and skill involved (both in assembling and flying it), but to me "homemade plane" carried slightly different connotations than "assembled from a kit".

(I'm no expert carpenter, but I have built some pieces of furniture from basic pieces of timber, etc.; I would consider these to be "homemade". I've also assembled flat-packed furniture from places like Ikea or Homebase; I wouldn't refer to those items as "homemade".)
It should be less about generating revenue and more about preventing a loophole. The loophole is that it's possible for one party to make a profit at the expense of everyone else. That means there's an incentive / reward for destructive behavior.

IMHO, though, the tax should be just enough to neutralize that incentive. Anything more and you are selectively penalizing one industry, which I don't think is fair. Airlines didn't invent the concept of burning fuel to power machinery; society did, chose it as the basis for all industrial technology, and used it for everything. Air travel is just one thing on that list.

Also, the airlines were not the only ones who benefited. More or less, we all did. If ticket prices always included the carbon cost, then your business would have had to pay a higher price to fly you to that business meeting. And you would have had to pay a higher price to go on that vacation or visit those relatives.

We all had a party and trashed the place. We should all clean it up together.

So far that reason, to the extent that we can fix things with government action (funding research, etc.), I think the costs should be taken that out of the general fund. That not only everyone pays for what everyone benefited from, it also means it can be progressive and have other attributes of good tax policy.
I have to call BS on this. Are you claiming that users can't complete a single prompt of "[Your browser] needs to open an external application to follow this link. (Decline) (Launch Application)"? That seems really unlikely. I've done enough user testing to, at least anecdotally, say with some certainty that this is not true.
This is thoroughly disappointing, given that Zoom is among the few popular conferencing programs that aren't complete garbage for Linux users. Thankfully the Linux client doesn't appear to be affected AFAICT, but this is trust-shattering nonetheless.
Perhaps you would be better served with some humility about your understanding of science. Science involves searching the natural world for evidence for certain phenomena. Yes, sometimes informal observations warrant formal research.

People have researched ESP and debunked it. Currently, we are still researching earthquake prediction.

No one is claiming anything supernatural is occurring, of course. There may be real changes in the earth's crust before earthquakes which send out signals we haven't yet found.
