I wonder who hired the PR firm to get this article published? Was it the optometrists? No, they don't have that much money.

I'd guess this article was bought with a grant from Johnson & Johnson, your friendly contact lens giant.

In any case, if you need contacts, skip Hubble. Go direct to Daysoft.

App stores are also used for money laundering. Create a bogus app, spend a bunch of money "buying" your app and now you have "legitimate" money.
Why? Darknet uses a plain text file for model architecture to create SOTA object detection models and that doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

I get that it could be a problem if there are specific super-crazy things you want to achieve, but then this probably wasn't the tool for you anyway. I just don't think it's necessarily jacked up in all cases.

I work in this space so I am curious how your library is different from its similar competitors. I read the docs, but I didn't find anything about the actual model for how it works, like whether the whole UI rerenders on any observable change or not. Maybe consider this paragraph a request for documentation.

PS: A minor suggestion: the word "blazing" is so overused in the JS world at this point, when I see it I always at first suspect the app is a parody. If it's fast, then the word "fast" suffices.
So your argument is that many teams don't care and do a bad job and it is the fault, somehow, of the language they use?
I was just curious the reasoning, I feel that keto and also fasting would make the general population much healthier.

You had me until the part you suggested there was some subset of the upper class conspiring to keep an underclass of poor people... in order to make/keep themselves rich?Wouldn't rich people get much richer if there was more economically healthy middle class people buying their products and real estate or w/e they are making money off of?

What could they possibly gain from ruining the economy and keeping others poor. This seems to be based on a very poor understanding of how economics works, or the idea that there are secret nation-wide power systems plotting evil things like a rich villain in a Disney movie.

These claims reek of personal vindictiveness, not corporate strategy. I honestly don't find it hard to believe that Elon has allowed his savior complex to become pathological, or that - like Zuckerberg and Kalanick - he's personally responsible for his company's most problematic behavior.
There are musical phrases where a smooth glissando is essential to how it sounds. And honestly sometimes the timbre of the specific instrument too. The piano rendition may not get across the feeling the original music creates.
This could explain the relatively less popularity of electronic music in America vs. much of the rest of the world but I'm not sure that's even the case anymore. So maybe Americans don't like jazz cause they like electronic and other types of non lyrical music like most of the rest of the world. Sure probably not as much as lyrical music but a lot of that is due to marketing and exposure. That's likely the main explanation actually. The marketing and exposure provided by popular culture in America is frankly terrible. Mostly garbage whether it's music, arts, film, etc. I think that's the real reason for the phenomenon the article describes.

My father was a victim of ageism before there were any laws against it. A new young CEO let everyone go over the age of 55. It was a Fortune 500 company that had been around for over a century and this tanked the entire company, they never recovered.

This company let ten percent of their staff go each year. These people over 55 were company lifers because they knew how to get stuff done. They wiped out a large percentage of their elite employees all at once. Replacing them with new hires right out of college was too much of a toxic shock to the company all at once.
I'm Australian as well and I'm ashamed of how many of my fellow countryman prioritising their short term alcohol and other lifestyle "requirements" over worrying about the future of the planet.

Interesting to see someone else with this condition on YC . If you don't mind me asking, which area are you in and if you could PM the info of the optometrist. I am wearing sclerals as well, but the cost was far higher - around $5000 for the first round, and around $3500 when I went back 3 years later to see if we can improve vision and comfort even further. On the other hand, the fitting process was much more efficient - there was a new set of lenses ready daily, so although we went through 9 lenses for the right eye and 4 for the left on the first round, it took under 2 weeks.

Did you end up doing CXL? Are you considering it, or any of the other procedures.
Unfortunately for your argument, we don't live in the reality that you're trying to pretend exists, where direct utility is the only valuable feature of an object.

Also the fact that you spent so much time talking about the utility of a paper bag more or less outs you as a pedant, so I think I'm done here.
I found your blog post fascinating.

Are there any decisions you wrote about here that you now feel differently about (beyond rethinkdb, obviously).

Your take on open source and debt and lifestyle businesses is so interesting and I'm curious if almost four years has changed anything for you.

More specifically, has any of the business advice you got turned out to be surprisingly wrong?
> In other words, the shorts are totally right to be taking their position?

Many of the shorters just think the company's overvalued.

But anyone aiming for that event to trigger is making a bet that enough people will make the same bet, in deliberate disregard of whether the stock's value is appropriate for the actual business.

It's kind of like a prisoner's dilemma. Is it 'right' for someone to defect?

That motive isn't saying anything about the company. It's a pure meta-move. That places outside of the normal "markets efficiently allocate capital" logic. It's profitable but very much not efficient to swing your weight around and make a company go out of business in a way that owes you money.
I believe the usual answer to this is that you need a certain percentage of working poor to do the types of menial tasks we haven't been able to automate yet. If they could make more money elsewhere who would do those jobs? If those jobs suddenly paid more, than the price of food would go up and then we would have other problems. I think a key example is the current shortage of farm hands in California [1]. It's causing the price of some produce to go up, and also leading to some wasted crops.

Now, I'm not arguing that it _should_ or has to be this way. I'm just highlighting the usual arguments made when discussing why the rich may conspire to keep some people poor.

> Given the choice between a government that poses no threat to it but is illiberal and any possibility of a liberal government the US always opts to harm the illiberal government.

This makes sense only if you define "liberal" as "aligned with the interests of Washington and/or American corporations". For god's sake, USA supported Saddam Hussein while he was gassing Kurdish civilians during the Iran-Iraq war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq...

> Joost R. Hiltermann says that when the Iraqi military turned its chemical weapons on the Kurds during the war, killing approximately 5,000 people in the town of Halabja and injuring thousands more, the Reagan administration actually sought to obscure Iraqi leadership culpability by suggesting, inaccurately, that the Iranians may have carried out the attack.
The US record in central/south America or the support for the princes in UAE and Saudi Arabia shows they will choose stability over democracy.
I would not follow the tip about connecting multiple thermocouples in parallel. The voltages involved are very small and the Maxim chips are very sensitive to noise.

Source: myself, as I had to put in a diff 10nF capacitor between T+/T- of the 31855 to get good consistent readings. Maxim confirmed this is a known solution and they were supposed to put the recommendation in the datasheet.

So, be careful with those thermocouples.
Are you talking about T-PRK with CXL in Vancouver? Or one of the other protocols? My optometrist felt that doing T-PRK even combined with CXL would be a horrible idea for Keratoconus, but I haven't consulted with a surgeon directly yet.

There’s nobody to like here. Your eye doctor can make a bunch of money selling you contacts and therefore doctors will say lots of dumb things about how dangerous Hubble is. Were the same doctors also talking about how dangerous contacts were a few years ago when this technology was state of the art? No. They are doing a much better job of looking out for themselves than for patients.

At the same time, it’s probably ALSO true that, if you can afford it, a brand using newer technology may be better. And you should talk to an eye doctor about the decision. I just wish eye doctors were not selling you anything and were in business to be doctors; that would make it a lot easier to trust that you were getting good advice.

PS I have a lot of experience with the price of contact lenses from my job, weirdly. For the best prices, you should buy contacts from either Costco or any online retailer besides 1-800 Contacts (Walmart, etc.). But I would suggest you buy the brand you’ve been prescribed.

>Visual dominancy isn’t the only problem. The bigger problem is the dominance of our thought. Most Americans do not know what to do with abstraction in general. To be able to fully appreciate abstraction, you must be able to turn off your thought, or at least be able to put your thought into the background. This is not as easy as it might seem. In modern art museums, most people’s minds are dominated by thoughts like: “Even I could do this.” Or, “Why is this in a museum?” Or, “This looks like my bed sheet.” Etc.. They are unable to let the abstraction affect their emotions directly; their experience must be filtered through interpretations. In a way, this is a defense mechanism. It is a way to deal with fears like, “If I admit that I don’t understand this, I’ll look unsophisticated.” This type of fear fills their minds with noise, and they become unable to see, hear, or taste.

This paragraph in particular is oozing with holier-than-thou artistic elitism. These debates always end up being somewhat pointless, though. Art is always in the eye of the beholder and all that. Personally, I think the author's take is just wrong, not necessarily stupid - and I actually think the last point in this paragraph about how you have to pretend to like "modern" art in order to look sophisticated is really a pretty decent insight that's worth exploring more. We don't get any of that in the essay.

One time user of contact lenses here: Most times, complications due contact lenses is because of improper care by the user. You need to clean lenses every time you want to wear or store them. You need to do this even with disposable lenses. It's a big hassle.
This is also a subject of intense interest to me. We're in uncharted territory here, and the most relevant historical example imo is WW1 where all major participants began the war without giving any real thought to oil and left the war knowing oil (and the vehicles it powers) was arguably the single most important strategic factor in wars during that time period (and still today really aside from speculation).

It seems plausible, if not very likely, a similar paradigm shift will occur after the first serious cyberwar occurs. We will learn a lot of lessons.
I do not know how others feel. But I feel resentment towards embargoes (and calling their poodle countries to follow suite) placed on other countries just because they don't tow your line. Going to Iran's backyard and threatening them and then cry when they retaliate (a pretext to start war)...its so...pathetic.
In fact most of the 20th century wars were started using this kind of baiting.
I just reproduced it following the commenters instructions -- clicked the sidebar link, got a popup, pressed the back button and I have no scroll bar.

I had a video site in the same era (https://web.archive.org/web/20050701082257/http://www.vobbo....) and it was 100% soft porn and piracy, so much so that I shut it down because I couldn’t justify the time spent moderating content (and I was a one man show, didn’t want to get sued).

Should have tried to get funding, but had no idea what I was doing.

But yea, I totally believe YouTube spent a few years as soft porn and piracy (which they clearly tolerated for eyeballs).
Hubble's lenses cost $54 per eye per 90-day supply. The sphere version of the daily lens I wear (Hubble doesn't sell a toric lens) is $52 per 90 lenses where I buy them, potentially less if you shop around. I found several mainstream daily brands online for less than $54, some of which are Si-Hy. Brands made from materials comparable to Hubble are already close in cost to Hubble, you can generally buy them online, and most places offer a subscription already, so I don't really see the appeal here.

Paclitaxel, an existing chemotherapy agent, kills cancer by interfering with microtubule dynamics in cells, the same way that Fenbendazole and other antihelmintics (dewormers) attack cancer in the recent post about someone curing themselves by taking OTC dog dewormer [0].

Unlike the dog dewormer, today’s Paclitaxel regimens are quite toxic. Interestingly, most of the toxicity comes from the method of delivery [1], not the drug itself. It’s actually why the way we give it (infrequent doses) actually promotes recurrence in some cases. This post talks about a much less toxic method of delivery, which explains why they can up the dose of the drug significantly while still being much safer.

I'm mostly familiar with EV Nova and KOTOR mods, which are posted to websites that probably filter for obscenity. EV Nova doesn't really have pictures of people; but KOTOR definitely has plenty of appearance-focused mods (including one described as "More sexy underwear for females"), and on some other games I have heard of mods that fall into the "weird porn" category.

In my experience, Optometrists are often not huge fans of contacts generally. Probably because, especially contacts that are worn too long, worn even when an eye gets irritated, etc. can lead to complications that generally don’t exist with glasses.

Also FWIW, my optometrist just passes me to the front desk when he’s done. No one pressures me to buy contacts or glasses from them and, in fact, I mail order my contacts from Walmart.

> Follow the money

And yet if you do this at the actual companies (SpaceX, Tesla) or industries (rideshare) you mention, most traditional economists will tell you they have questionable futures based on their balance sheets (all of them have been consistently losing extremely large amounts of money for years) and some believe they will actually go to zero. So by following the money, it's not hard to see why some would think these companies are overvalued.
