Thanks for the info. These incidents have all been since the tick bite, but none have overlapped (other than the Barbers Chair syndrome and numbness in her legs...one of which kind of set on toward the end of the other). The MRI's saw some lesions, but they didn't seem to be enough for the doctor to be confident. He did consult with another Neurologist in his office who looked at the MRIs and was 100% confident in the diagnosis, but he wasn't willing to go that far.

Living in DC I guess we're fortunate to be so close to NIH because he is having her visit some MS specialist at NIH which will also include access to better/more reliable MRI equipment. It's been an ongoing process to even get enrolled in the study, but we finally have an appointment for next month so we'll see what happens.

I've only lived in HK for a short amount of time so this might be unfounded. But I would opine that it's not the people of Hong Kong that have drunk the neoliberal kool-aid but that that's the intent of the colonial political control design.

Like most colonial extraction-based political structures like post-Roldos Ecuador, post-Allende Chile or Colombia today, the oligarchy of local ruling families benefited from the monopolistic political structure, then with their vested interest in the colonial institution and with the elite powers they hold (in monopolies in media and control of functional constituency, for instance), they put the broader public deeper and deeper in the hole while directing the general public discontent towards... less intellectually complex conflicts like mainlanders pissing in the subway.

This is fine while doesn't need to demonstrate economic self-sufficiency when they can simultaneously monopolize China's trade but it would be very self-destructive to think that Hong Kong staying afloat has anything to do with Hong Kong's own industry (at least not since the last wave of Shanghai émigré-bootstrapped textile industries in the 60s) or policies.

It feels really nice and minimal. I just wish it only appeared while scrolling, as it distracts me while I read the page content.
I have it too, and as I get older I'm really feeling it taking its toll on my body. The most annoying aspect is, I knew that you could get it from ticks all my life, but yet .. I blew it off and didn't take it seriously.

One warm summer night, I laid down in the grass in a locally cool field, and enjoyed the stars. I woke up the next day with bullseyes all over me, and 4 of the terrible critters embedded in my flesh.

If only I'd paid more attention, I wouldn't always be operating at 60% ..

Take this one seriously folks. If you're in ticks-ville, pay attention damnit. You don't want Lyme disease.
>Any person or political party that is trying to reduce staffing for a tax collection agency is trying to get away with tax fraud or they are working for somebody who is

Wow, that's a very bold accusation. Have you a single shred of evidence for this libel? Being as how this started quite a while ago, I guess all politicians and both political parties are tax frauds or employed by them:

Can't you install the OS version of Chrome for that? (Chromium)
The BAT sh*tcoin stuff turned me off to Brave. I've been using Dissenter which removed all of that (and more crud) from Brave, but it doesn't seem to update very often. I like the every 6 week cadence that Edge is promising.
Can't recommend a task tracker that does that but how about using your favorite one and hot keying that one?

The most usable one (and the one I use would be a tiling WM).

Another would be dependent on the desktop environment you use.
KDE has KHotkeys. Gnome certainly something similar.

Another more independent solution would be ror scripts (run-or-raise).
They start or run a custom command with a key stroke.

I hadn't heard of this! It definitely helps with startup time.

$ time hg help > /dev/null

But because an empty `hg diff` takes 1.3s for me, taking 150ms off the top isn't a big help.

Or they don't know better. There's a very big difference. What's Edges market share? If Edge (or any other browser) suddenly gets added to the privacy-oriented list, the number of people using privacy-oriented browsers goes up, which is the important part. It doesn't matter if they care.
What I want to know is whether I will be able to run Ublock Origin on it after Ublock Origin stops working on Google Chrome.
They haven't released such models, though, and I don't know if it would be drop-in compatible with the OA GPT-2-774M checkpoint (they're training their own GPT-2s using their own webtext corpus).
Yeah, I'm still working on it. But I'm just one guy. Hopefully this gains interest from others in working on it too (and I will _not_ be butthurt if someone gets a fully functional one submitted before I do -- in fact, I'll probably be relieved).

If you click on "More platforms and channels" and then scroll down to "Other Platforms", there are download links for Windows and macOS that work regardless of your useragent.
> Is this going to be the default browser in the next feature update version of Windows 10?

This will eventually replace the current Edge on Windows 10, so the answer is "yes - sometime in the future". Additionally, it's already available on Windows 7 and 8.

To me, this means many developers will be more able to argue the case for deprecating IE11 support.
I run Brave shield with uBlock Origin over here, and disable the former on some sites when it inevitably breaks something because it can go a bit too far for the "modern development" world; but you can disable it globally.

I don't sign up for their crypto stuff either and there's a toggle to hide it.
Running Windows is perfectly fine; the major libraries for GPU-accelerated autodiff and networks (CUDNN with Pytorch or Tensorflow) have great support nowadays. It's the AMD GPU that remains essentially useless, as of 2019. If you want to get into the game, I'd recommend buying a middle-of-the-road NVIDIA GPU like the RTX2060.

For toying with autodiff and basic CNNs, CPU works just fine by the way...

The Steam client starts to throttle its network throughput based on disk performance these days. I've got games installed on SSDs and on spinning rust, and I'll see download speeds back off on the spinning rust while it unpacks files despite there being plenty of resources to cache files otherwise. This is very different from the times where it would attempt to download everything first and then begin to unpack files.
I am impressed with the options page and the site permissions page in particular. I ws able to set most preferences as I wanted fairly quickly. I was dissapointed that continue running background apps was enabled by default however. It feels like it would be reasonable to wait until I tried to use something that required it and only then bother asking me.

Edit: Whatever goodwill on settings was eaten up when change default search provider was hidden two levels deep, first under "Privacy and Services" and then under "Address Bar".

Edge team, you know full well most people will want to change this at first. It should have its own settings top level page, more or less in line with firefox.

I was a bit confused by that line.

I doubt that he copied any strategies from his business classes but this particular example is hardly implausible.

The SolidRun MACCHIATObin is not nearly as powerful — it's ultrabook-grade performance, not server-grade — but it works fine for coding & browsing, and it's also quite open — the only blob in the firmware is something tiny and irrelevant (and I'm pretty sure for some secondary processor), everything on the ARM cores post-ROM (including RAM training code) I have built from source.
So use gcc or clang.
Sure, there is randomness but in normal cases you can apply statistics to describe it reasonably well. The results are not 100% sure but 99% or 99.99999% or whatever you need. It's not that the laws of gravity stop working entirely over night. Newtons theory wasn't perfect and Einsteins theory isn't perfect but it describes what happens in nature very very well for billions of years.

> and modern engines don't run very well on pure ethanol without modification.

For carbeurated engines (i.e. every small piece of power equipment) you just need to drill out the precisely sized hole fuel goes through to be a different precise size. Your bigger issue will be keeping it clean long term.
I bet you sometimes drive your car at less than the maximum speed, too.
That is absolutely not true. Much of the complexity of the tax code is present in order to clearly prescribe rules in edge case situations in order to reduce judgement calls that would inevitably tilt in favor of the filer.

I used to hate all this FSF stuff. That, though, was back in the day when taking back control of your devices was as simple as changing a couple of settings, uninstalling a few things, and flipping a couple of switches in a registry. Now that I've been screwed a few times by this "we know better than you" tech culture my opinion has changed. Richard Stallman is still a lunatic with poor personal hygiene but he makes some excellent points.
Music festivals require a lot of walking, dancing, etc. which actually contributes a significant portion of daily activity. So I would actually conclude that being physically active is part of being a hot trendy person. There are tons of people who travel to festivals as a lifestyle.
AWS in the early days wasn’t that different than many other cloud providers of the day: you had Rackspace, Linode, Slicehost, etc. And then there’s the oversold shared hosting...

WeWork isn’t a brand new offering; Regus has been around for awhile. But it has mindshare and that has value.

The question is will it be an AWS or pets.com. I won’t answer that for you, but I’m not putting my money into its IPO... ;)

>> Do you think Musk copied that strategy from the business school he never went to? Do you think Brian Chesky of Airbnb heard that strategy from a friend?

Maybe not, but that doesn't mean talking to other successful founders isn't extremely helpful. The best founders have multiple great ideas and not enough time to execute on them. If you want to increase your success rate, you should use feedback from other successful founders to decide which great idea to invest your time in.
It's amazing that I went through high school and multiple calculus courses in college without ever learning that. Thanks!

> To be clear: Walmart is a monoculture when it destroys diverse town centers in favour of standardized parking-malls.

Apples and oranges. Walmart is not a culture. Walmart is a company. Last I checked, Zoroastrianism and parsi culture is a human culture, not a for-profit entity.

> We are discussing principles of value -- and I assert that functional diversity is intrinsically valuable (unless and until the diversity tears the broader system apart, resulting in less functional diversity).

I highly disagree. Individuals are valuable. Cultures are valuable and should be respected as long as individuals subscribe to it (and they are within reason). However, cultures as a whole do not have any rights in aggregate that individuals do not have. Attempting to maintain cultural diversity is a form of totalitarianism, basically fascism by another name.

If no individual can sustain their culture, no one owes it to them to try.

Look, I belong to a cultural group that is dying out due to a diaspora and intermarriage (see the documentary bottle masala in moile). I like people with my customs, but other than the fact that I feel more familiar with people like my family, I recognize there is no inherent value in my culture, and I actually oppose things like coercing children to marry within the group out of some notion of group identity. Of course, in our case, there are a few governmental barriers that ought to be taken down. But, if no one wants to marry or continue the customs, no one should be forced to and it's insanely weird to have outsiders who were not raised in it to all of a sudden decide they want to take part. Anyway, it's not like any culture completely dies out. As groups intermingle, ideas are mixed, and good ones continued. New cultures will form and new identities forged. That's called dynamic society, and should be the goal. A society in which all cultures stay the same is basically an overly traditionalistic, totalitarian one.

Anyway, I'm kinda done pontificating here. It's clear we value different things. I value dynamicism, creation, and cultural progress, and you want all cultural divisions to remain the same for the foreseeable future and view any intermingling as a form of cultural destruction. I'm afraid the viewpoints can't really be harmonized.
It's already here. Get yourself a Blackbird (or a Talos, if you're really going to jump in).
If the new infrastructure will lead to a larger GDP growth than the interest and maintenance, then I don't think anybody can argue that taking the loan is bad. No, the municipality can't use excess revenues, because those will not exist if not enabled by the infrastructure.

There is an obvious catch, but this uncritical "debt is baaad" rationale does not stand.
And that's easily countered by saying "total profits, including subsidiaries."
There's a lot of busywork in the regulations.

For example, the requirements for expendable and reusable rockets were written very independently, so if you want to re-license an existing expendable rocket to be reusable you basically have to start from scratch. The desire from a lot of the smaller launch providers is to have a set of generic "rocket" requirements, with specific addendums for where expendable and reusable vehicles differ.

There's also a lot of redundancies when you want to launch a vehicle from multiple locations. If you want a second launch site, there's reasonable things you have to do like showing the FAA that your flight termination system won't rain flaming hydrazine into someone's backyard. However, you also have to expend effort re-explaining things that are totally location independent, like your software development methodologies.
> It's a common social technique among adults with authority to frame requests as a question-- "Could you please....?" or "Would you like to....?". This is gentler and shows a degree of deference and courtesy from the person with authority to the other person.

If the only answer to the question is agreement then the deference is false. Phrasing orders as questions really only makes authoritarian managers feel better about themselves; nobody under 40 thinks this is an actual question.

>* The city and state's complete failure to engineer robust infrastructure did*

As New Orleans was designated an asset strategic to the national military and energy interests, ACOE is in charge of engineering the infrastructure in and around the city. The issue was that at landfall 2005 the project was only 60-90% complete. (Depending on the section.)

Critical to identify the problem correctly when you're searching for mitigations.
I for one look forward to finding out which of the 595 Apple subsidiaries I'll be doing business with moving forward. I guess what I'm saying is that yes, it's possible that some companies will put in the legwork to restructure into a few subsidiaries, but this tax wouldn't have applied to them in the current regime anyways. The biggest ones, on the other hand, are unlikely to do the leg-work.

Either way the plan can be adjusted, as my sibling says, to include the revenue from subsidiaries so let's not be defeatist :)

It could be they really believe that. But it is often one of these real reasons:

1) They want some people to quit, but they don't want to lay them off explicitly to avoid looking bad. The idea being some employees won't relocate or enjoy driving to the office every day so they'll just leave.

2) They think people are lazy and don't work when they are at home. So they want them in the office to supervise them.

3) It makes them feel important walking around and seeing all their subordinates right there in one place. Sometimes it is just as simple as that.
When I was in my twenties, I was part of the early "life coach blogger" culture.

Now that I'm almost in my forties, I realize everything I wrote back then was bullshit. Earnest, but bullshit nonetheless.

I'm much more cynical, but I'm also much more likely to just do what seems right and figure out the rest as I go. I don't read "best practices" or advice articles anymore.

This is not to say that there is nothing to be gained from such sources; just that the likelihood of it being useful or accurate given my particular context is small.

In this, my attitude is much closer to where it was in my teens and childhood, where I just had to figure everything out on my own.

I'm surprised this blog post made the first page of HN given its lack of sources or analysis.

Maybe a good discussion can come on one example startup advice from YC: do things that don't scale.

I think this is really sound in that they're saying "get product-market-fit with some segment of users." i.e. know that there's demand for your product/service even if it's pretty manual to deliver early on. Then see how to automate. Because most product/services aren't materially better than existing options and so you never get product-market-fit even when it's entirely manual and customized to the user.

As a founder I've been guilty of building first because it's fun. I saw what I wanted in user research and built a whole app accordingly. It failed. Would've been better to start with a smaller attack surface (email newsletter) and once we found success to then scale. The interesting thing is I knew of the advice "do things that don't scale" beforehand. But until I failed I didn't know why it mattered and how to apply it.

Net: applying advice is harder than evaluating if the advice is good or bad. You want to have enough time to fail a lot and then appreciate the wisdom of startup advice :-)
> "Would you like to" implies that discussion is expected but unilateral refusal is probably not.

I disagree. "Could you please" implies that. "Would you like to" is in fact a solicitation for the other parties preference, and opens the door for refusal. Politeness is important, but if the request is too passive then it can change the meaning.
