On the contrary, gaze control was forced upon us when phone-based VR had no access to a controller. It's actually rather unnatural. We look at many things without wanting to activate them so you have to have a secondary cue for "clicking". Usually a timer: "stare at this for x seconds" which means every interaction is an exercise in patience.

Gesture control is probably the most natural if done well but when done badly it's fairly awful. I still can't master clicking on a v1 Hololens and I avoid using the thing without a clicker.

Simple unobtrusive controllers are going to be the best bet for a fair while I suspect.

Mindfulness is practiced in any religion. Though, most churches will for political reasons push back anything bringing in too much mysticism and spirituality. That's why the content of many religious books outside of institutional restrictions are more or less interchangeable.
Ask HN: Washing Utensils with Small Rubber Balls

That's not a problem for non-US citizens in general. It's a problem the EU imposes upon its own citizens.
I cringe when I see lede's like this. It further reinforces the general perception of logging = evil.

The reality is that our forested ecosystems in north america need fire to be healthy. But we've built homes & towns in areas that need fire, effectively tying our hands. So, we actually need to be logging more rather than less in order to compensate for a natural amount of fire.

Sure, we could be doing less clear cutting and more shelterwood harvests & thinning. But generally logging is now an essential tool for us to manage forest & ecosystem health.
I like the way Creative Commons licenses do it. First there is a simple bullet-point-wise summary for layman like this: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ . Then there is the entire legal code for lawyers: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode .

I think all contracts should be written like this. If any clause of the legal code contradicts the summary for layman, then the summary for layman should take precedence during its interpretation in the court.

This practice is not unusual. Books often start with a preface or foreword. Very dense technical or research papers start with an abstract and introduction. But for some reason contracts do not follow this practice.
Organized fun is the best fun. No need to think about what to do next. Also, on a cruise, most stuff is included in the purchase price, so the pressure to spend extra money is actually quite low.

> Meanwhile, you're surrounded by people from the same place as you, who, at least for me, you might be trying to be get away from.

This is probably your problem right there. Why are you trying to get away from your neighbors? Do they not like you? Are you unlikable?
Living in Tokyo, I spotted one of these tapings lately. It’s unbelievable how accurate they look. Not perfect typography, but as a designer I immediately sensed craftsmanship. Thanks OP for picking this up.
It needs to die for a more important reason: Jobs was specifically referring to devices which required a stylus because fingers wouldn’t work as well on their resistive touchscreens.
I was not on cruise ship but I had opportunity to be on huge crane ship from work. I would go for a cruise just to experience calmness of the sea and looking into distance to get overwhelmed by amount of water around. Even though I live all my life close to the shore and going to the beach often, it was still totally different to be in the middle of it than just looking at it from shore. Feeling was like I would be on different planet or something.
We could also take the mortgage approach, where the actual contract is in fact very long, but there is a required simple-to-understand cover sheet that summarizes all the pertinent details in a clear way.

While it is true that you do burn some muscle, the increased HGH levels immediately replace it when you refeed. This has been studied significantly. And for me, I don’t give a rip about muscle loss right now. I’m just trying to lose weight.

Your body isn’t stupid. You won’t turn into a ball of fat if you fast regularly. Cavemen and even animals have long feast/famine cycles. Our bodies are designed to store fat and burn it when food is scarce.

Now if folks are already in a healthy weight, then yea, extended fasting isn’t necessarily something you want to do a lot of, but for obese people, we have plenty of fat to keep things rolling as long as other essential nutrients are supplemented via multivitamins.

Some context:
LoRa is a new, private and spread-spectrum modulation technique which allows sending data at extremely low data-rates to extremely long ranges. The low data-rate (down to few bytes per second) and LoRa modulation lead to very low receiver sensitivity (down to -134 dBm), which combined to an output power of +14 dBm means extremely large link budgets: up to 148 dB., what means more than 22km (13.6 miles) in LOS links and up to 2km (1.2miles) in NLOS links in urban environment (going through buildings).

And hip social buzz. Oops, here we are talking about it now.
It's lazy because voters don't know or care about "common carrier" and "first to file" and arcana like that.

The alternative is to let all the folks who know the meanings of those sorts of things make the rules. Note that they will not be representative of the country as a whole. In particular they will be overrepresented by special interests andoneyed, entrenched incumbents.

One of the arguments for deregulation is that we just aren't good at fair regulations sometimes and no regulations is at least even-handed.

Hand waving all that as 1/3 the insight lacks quite a bit of nuance... and the lack of nuance is really why "good regulation" is so hard to come by.

There's a lot of general anxiety that comes with vacations and travel, more-so as you get older and there are kids in the mix. My wife and I like to go to the same area for holiday each summer simply because its sunny, lively, relaxing and familiar. Sure we'd still love to visit places like germany, petra, etc, but not with toddlers in tow.
Never been on a cruise, but I find longer ferry and train rides very relaxing. You are on your way but don't have to do anything. You have food and drinks available but don't have to think about which restaurant you want to go to. It's the carefree experience without the worry that you're wasting time that's appealing I guess.
You're underestimating the Japanese summer. Hundreds of people across the country die from heatstrokes every month in the summer, and wearing less clothing won't keep you alive. Air conditioning isn't just a luxury, it's necessary for survival.

As a DevOps engineer really trying to decide if learning kubernetes in a necessary investment I'm interested.

I think containerization is here to stay for sure. It just seems kubernetes offers a ton of complexity and commands that may be hard to debug to do things that I wish could be solved with an easier abstraction (maybe just AWS autoscaling groups?)

The key quote for me is this, (but I'm interested in opinions of others):

In the end, precisely because it’s generic and because running a deployment platform is an undifferentiated hard problem, it can and will be commoditised. Fargate and Cloud Run (Knative) are already barrelling down this road.

I did cut alcohol but not because I wanted to. Doctor required it because of meds I started taking for high cholesterol. Once I get off the meds I’ll probably drink again. I’ve only ever been a social drinker though and rarely at that. Maybe 1-2 beers a month.
I didn't say per pound, I said for a single pound package (in shipping, the first pound is by far the most expensive). I got that figure by getting an actual quote for sending a package over night from NYC to SF. Feel free to play around on the UPS and FedEx websites; you'll see similar figures.

Also, the passenger thing isn't remotely comparable because last-minute plane tickets aren't that cheap, and you're forgetting to account for the 12+ hours of labor involved in sending a mule along with your package. If you already had someone going there and back that day anyway, sure, sending the package along with them would be cheaper than sending it through UPS Next-Day. But if not, just sending the package will be way cheaper.

I find the reasoning here mostly flawed.

> 1. Bad for SEO

How many image searches result in a visit? If my image search habits are typical then I'd say, not many. In addition, not all visits are good visits. In (nearly) 2020, traffic for the sake of traffic is a fool's errand.

> 2. Bad for Accessibility

Yes and no, but mostly no. The #a11y standard is to make sure AT __ignores__ decorative images. I would imagine most background images are for show (i.e., aesthetic for the sighted) and not actually part of the content. AT needing to "see" background images is fringe at best.

> 3. Bad for Performance

"How could the background-image prop­er­ty pos­si­bly be bad for per­for­mance? Because typ­i­cal­ly just one image is used for the background-image prop­er­ty regard­less of the device screen width or resolution."

Misusing a tool doesn't mean you blame the tool.

> Link 4. Bad for CMS’s & CDN’s

Perhaps. But how often is this an issue? File this under "good problem to have" and then sort it out for that. It's not a reason to lash out against background-image.

p.s. Yeah, object-fit it a great. But it's not a reason to slag (the misuse of) background-image.
The capital is not Philadelphia, it's Harrisburg. So the idea must be that most people think they are right and others will agree with them, but there are people who get it right and know that others get it wrong, and they are responsible for the difference in scores.

Just took it b/c I need the money.

Knowingly writing illegal spyware because “I needed the money” is no different than purloining people’s credentials and selling them on the black market, “because I needed the money,” and or emptying their bank accounts, because “I needed the money,” or breaking into corporate servers and selling confidential designs to their competitors, “because I needed the money.”

I am not lecturing you from Mount Olympus. I have made many mistakes in my life, some far more serious. And I am telling you this:

Lose the excuse. It’s a rationalization you tell yourself as a mechanism for not seeing your choice as a choice. You are trying to frame it as if you have no choice, as if the company is exploiting your financial desperation.

Mental health and self-respect flow from finding a way back to the place where you see yourself as making informed choices of your own free will.

You can choose to walk away. It might be painful, but you can do it, and if you do, years later you will look back on that choice as the day you put yourself in charge of your life, the day you wrested control from the little voice in your head that says you have no choice but do do things you are ashamed of.

Just walk out, and optionally turn them in if you choose.

Or there’s another thing you can do. Embrace your choice. Tell people like me to GTFO when we criticize your choice. But own the choice. No more “I need the money” talk. I’d prefer the former to the latter, but both represent steps out from under the shadow of self-victimization. And it’s not up to me: It’s 100% up to you.

Good luck.
LOL :-)!

They didn't have all the extra bullshit fees that Ryannair does, at least. I got no hassle about my carry-on luggage and I could check in whenever. So I'd argue there's still a tier that's worse than EasyJet, which includes the Ryanairs of the world.

Though the overbooking experience I had with EasyJet was definitely pretty terrible and reeked of budget airline; I almost did not make it on the flight I bought a ticket for because it was overbooked. Other people definitely didn't make it.
The bit about ending up in hospital with an obstructed bowel from diverticulitis? I call misdiagnosis - either on his part or mine.

I had an uncannily similar experience, except in my case it was about a week a month (sometimes much more, sometimes less) that I lost to the vomiting, the nausea, the delirium, the totally immobile bowel. In my case, the stress went on for years, and years, utterly relentlessly, day and night, incessantly, and so did the gut attacks. I’d get angry when people mentioned they’d slept badly, because at least they’d got to sleep. I’d spend a sleepless week shivering and roasting and dripping sweat and reeling with nausea, unable to make words or thoughts, then finally suddenly recover, and the moment I was capable of any movement or coherent thought, I’d be writing apologetic emails and heading back to the office, where I’d get a barrage of abuse from both clients and cofounder for my absence.

After multiple hospitalisations they’d decided I had everything from diverticulitis to gallstones to salmonella to a brainstem injury. They took my gallbladder out, did exploratory surgery, every endoscopy you care to name. It kept happening, nothing worked.

Then, I quit my business. Two months later, I had my last “attack”, as I’d come to call them, and it’s now been three years.

So... I wonder if the author had diverticulitis, or was having the same violent physiological reaction to stress that I had apparently developed.
It's an interesting heuristic, but without an exposition it's hard to know if there is any reason to believe it. Has this technique been assessed across various domains? Does it work better for political facts than for scientific facts? Where does it fail? It's a provocative article and a cool thought, but it seems more like a hypothesis.

(In particular, I'm referring to the assertion at the end of the article: "Because of the relatively high margin of 10%, there can be high confidence that the correct answer is No.")

I think the reasonable justification for the low-value exemption for foreign currencies is that it's a) a common consumer use case, and b) hard to account for. Neither applies to Bitcoin. Not only is Bitcoin a failure for typical consumer use [1], but its digital-from-the-start nature means that the accounting burden is much lower.

I do have a child.

> That is the whole point, the ship is an environment where kids will never be alone.

I didn't misunderstand that part. My original point was that you're trusting that none of the people there will do something that harms your children.

But additionally, you're suggesting that because there are lots of other people around, your responsibilities are waived, and the herd will look after your children.

Even as a parent, I have little time for those who won't take responsibility for their own children.

All the high denomination notes (~80% of circulating currency) were demonetized in India on 8th November 2016. So all the money in the safe had to be taken to the bank to be exchanged.

And then taking out more than a limit of cash is a very lengthy process now.

So yes, it's not illegal to store cash but it's very difficult. And doing cash transactions above a certain limit are illegal.

Why? Because many business people in India don't pay taxes.

This is not true, you can't buy a ticket without identification and you can't get past security unless you go through several other checks. Going into a public area like out on the street is not even similar at all. Airports are not public locations, they are much more similar to the interior walls of a private business than a public location, which doesn't require you to pay to enter and produce varying amounts of identification.
I’m not sure what to think of a Wikipedia article without any sections on Uses, and the only Example being unreferenced.
Oh I'm not claiming like OP that this is some revolution that proves that a Mac is basically an ARM computer already. I'm just correcting your claim that "the disk controller has moved into the disk". There is no "disk". Rather the disk controller has moved into the security controller.

I learned the hard way several years ago that a bank I used to have will happily cash two checks with the same check number the same amount and the the same recipient (on the same day even).

Apparently check numbers are for my convenience not for any sort of auditing on their part.
