That is why I also cycle up/down Sulforaphane to up-regulate NRF2 and activate several genetic expressions that increase cell autophagy and apoptosis. I also use Berberine (some use metformin) to modify p53. I also take aged garlic extract to break down the biofilm on cancer cells and bio-availability enhanced Curcumin to block metastases or the process. I also do not consume glucose, as cancer cells and tumors require glucose. Operating off Ketones is very beneficial to starving cancer cells. All of that said, based on the studies I have read, the results of CoQ10 only start to become more beneficial at older ages or in people that have had heart damage. It also helps to ensure you are not deficient in potassium and magnesium, as those are very important for mitochondria. Dr. Bruce Ames has done a lot of research in this area and has theories about "conservation" and how various longevity functions in our bodies are muted when we only get the RDA or lower of critical components. I don't have an opinion on NAD+ precursors for humans. Mice studies have produce great results, but it isn't clear yet if NR/NMN help humans AFAIK.

It's not a bad article if it reflects the reality a considerable number of people face with this kind of cargo cult methodology.

A five minute meeting is not five minutes out of your day. Any scheduled interruption takes at least thirty minutes, probably more like sixty, out of productive time, as a flat cost, over and above the actual time of the meeting. It's all the time that you don't start biting into something worth doing because you look at the clock, and say "Oh fuck, I've got this fucking standup meeting in 20 minutes - I can't even get started on this before that rolls around and interrupts me." And it it all the time afterwards where you have had a bunch of shit laid in your lap that you have to spend some time following up on and frigging around with before you can get back to the work you already had planned to do.
Ruby was barely a blip on the map until Rails showed up.
That is exactly my point. If you've never heard a word you can never know how it's pronounced. That's not the case with Spanish where I can make up a word and everybody will pronounce it (almost) the same way.
I think he's talking about disabling it on his own Mac and the added security benefits of having it enabled on Macs used by normal users which benefit from the additional security.
You can find similar examples with just \n in the official Apache docs on CGI: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html

The solution for this puzzle is that mod_cgi will simply convert LF to CRLF silently.

(more precisely: it parses the headers the script outputs in a relaxed way and lets the server write them in a correct format later)

> They were offered free software that would enable them to dodge the Great Firewall of China – which blocks almost all major Western news sites and social media outlets – and browse the internet without restrictions. There was some surprise when it turned out that even elite students in China had little interest in finding out what Westerners were thinking. Only 53 per cent of the participants had activated the software (even after repeated reminders), and about 14 per cent of the ones who had activated it uninstalled it shortly afterwards. Active users were browsing content which wasn’t political.

People usually don't care very much about what foreigners think, particularly such a nationalistic people as the Chinese, who AFAIK often think that the West is using anti-Chinese propaganda. Not many Westerners would actively browse Chinese or Indian sites to see their perspective either.

Edit: One might think that the fact that the content is censored might make people curious, but I don't think that is the case if the people support the censorship. In my country, Holocaust denial is illegal, but that motivates few people to read the arguments of Holocaust deniers. Admittedly, the Chinese censorship might be more effective than the German one, making people more curious.
There was also a bit in Silicon Valley about how rich old entrepreneurs are hiring young 20 yr old 'blood boys' to transfuse them blood at will. I wonder how true it is.
Based on some quick Googling, I don't see what is so much better about an SIPP or a group personal pension plan? SIPP offers some kind of matching from the government, but it doesn't seem significant.
I use it multiple times a week for printing/copying tabular data from space-delimited files. It's not the most arcane usage but it would probably take several lines to do what awk does in one. I don't even know much awk! Learning any bit of awk is worth every moment of the investment.

Agreed. This is why a robust sandbox/containerization system is preferred to an arbitrary approval system.

Anti-user features like intrusive telemetry are standard fare in commercial software, and running those apps in a sandbox could protect the user without having to rely on Apple's approval system.
Chile should focus on exploiting their solar resource. The best area on the planet for solar energy is in their country (and Peru).
Reading a book on related issues right now, and it suggests that's what is to be expected - the demand on energy is growing, but also the costs of acquiring fossil fuels are growing and infrastructure decay is catching up with the industry. So no other choice but to run faster even just to stay in the same place.

Big savings on 60 SaaS deals. Save up to $30k. 100% free
Yeah that's an entirely fair critique (I mentioned the Audi and Mercedes interiors being way nicer in a followup in this thread).

I'm ok with a more spartan interior as driving is just so much more enjoyable. The regenerative breaking takes some real getting used to, but once you've gotten used to it and you do 1 pedal highway driving (assuming you're not using auto-pilot) it is just so much less work. Most of the real fanciness in the Tesla is around making driving more enjoyable. I got the Model 3 AWD LR (not the performance model) and know I can out accelerate virtually ever other non-Tesla on the road. If someone wants to be a jerk and cut me off it is pretty much impossible unless they're in a super car (or another Tesla). Not being a gear head or car fanatic it just gives me more options when driving. That is worth a simpler interior. I was also fine with the crappy interior of my 2011 Ford Fiesta however, so we have different tastes.

The Porsche Taycan is the first electric car that seems to start to compete with a Tesla. The soon to be released Volkswagen ID.3 also looks like a pretty solid Model 3 competitor. The future holds a lot of options in this space, so you don't have to drive a Tesla to enjoy the all torque all the time driving of an electric drivetrain.

This is what stood out to me. Margins on food are not spectacular, and this place's $4.5k/mo minimum on rent is very high. Alcohol's margins are high enough to where that's where a good chunk of the actual money is made - the landlord is making an absolute killing here given his fairly low rents to the city, and very much at the expense of the profitability of the tenants.

IRC is not in the same situation as websites. Plain HTML pages work fine in mainstream browsers. The web server does need to be upgraded to do encryption, but there is good open source software available for that.
And it all slips through the firewalls and whitelists because it looks just like official "Microsoft Telemetry" data. Wow.
Don't know why this is getting downvoted.

This is Marx's core definition of Capitalism; the ability to buy and sell labour, employment of wage labour and accumulation of capital. That means that those who own the means of production extract more value from those who labour than what they pay for that labour.

That's Capitalism.

'Rent taking' is missing, that's no reason for a downvote.
Q4 was the last month for $7500 incentive in the US, so they opened up to new markets. Thousands of cars were on ships headed to other countries which aren't counted as 'delivered' until over a month later.

Q1 is also consistently the weakest quarter for the overall car market.

Wow, that chart shows tax rates on the wealthy dropping from 70% to 23% in the last 70 years. Now probably 70% was too socialist and may not fly in a globalised world where is a lot easier to move to a lower tax country or state (I'd move if I had to pay that.) But this seems ridiculously tilted to the other extreme now.

Edit: I don't understand the objections to my comment. If you have a problem with the data behind that chart, that's not my problem.

If you object to the usage of the word socialist - that's a common usage, don't be so pedantic.
You fundamentally didn't understand my comment. Like the A10 being a gun with a plane built around it, Tesla vehicles are computers with amazing batteries and a car built around them.

My Model 3 didn't have an alarm system or dashcam when I purchased it in November of 2018. I got that later as an OTA update. How many vehicles can do things like that even today in 2019? Precious few that aren't Teslas, mainly due to dealer network legalese. They wanted us to bring our Ford Fiesta into the dealer for them to load a new version of Sync on it via a thumbdrive. Such silliness.
That is correct, the rich don't pay any taxes at all (whenever the can). The was a recent thread on HN regarding tax audits [0]. What I got from that is that the IRS cannot afford to audit the rich because their taxes are complicated and they don't have enough resources to do so. They choose to audit the poor instead because, it is simpler..

For some people, the manager-employee relationship is a strictly adversarial one, to the point that they make it a self-fulfilling prophecy by viewing every act of their manager (or employees) as malicious if not a perceived slight.

Yeah if you were to discretize it, then you'd get random walks with the only difference being the variance of movement from the last point. Wish I could find this one source that talked about continuous time noise processes - it was pretty interesting. If you assign a random variable to every point t on a continuum, it's not a real process (in terms of the definitions set forth in Measure Theory), so you have to use other methods to define them, like limits of discrete processes.

It also incentivises propping up old, failing companies at the expense of the newer, innovative ones that would replace them in a healthy economy. For the same effect, get everyone to invest their entire private pension into their final employer.

Even this is misleading, since in terms of TCO, the model 3 is _not_ a 50K car, it is much more comparable to a 35-45K car, depending on your own mileage.

While the electronics are good, they are somewhat limited, no "birds eye view" for example, and the interior fit and finish are not equivalent to 50K cars, IMO at least.

However, people look at the sticker price, and get shocked by what it costs, and don't think about the TCO.

Just to be clear, I am not saying that this is a cheap car, far from it, but it is cheaper to own than the sticker price would suggest.

Disclaimer: I _do_ have a Tesla. They are great cars, but they are not sticker price comparable to other luxury cars, at least not in fit and finish. Driving on the other hand…

How to re-enter industry after a decade in academia?
I'm considering leaving academia and returning to industry. I have a side project that is coming along, but most likely I'll need at least a part-time job for another year and maybe indefinitely. I'd really like some advice on how best to make the transition, if it's even possible at this point.

I'm still undecided about leaving, so your advice may help me make up my mind. The main drivers for leaving are the ones you hear so much about in academia - politics, job insecurity, cynicism, lack of impact, etc.

Thing is, I've been in Computer Science research for nearly ten years since my PhD. I'd say I'm an 8/10 coder and am fluent in Python, JS+Vue.js, and Java. I've dabbled in half a dozen other languages. My sideproject is using Vue and it'd be advantageous for that project to learn more about front end dev. My CSS is mediocre and I've yet to master JS build tools. OTOH I've administered plenty of VPS installs and an SGE cluster. I've written a few REST APIs in Python.

What I'm really going to be rusty on is working in a dev team - using git properly rather than as a mostly solo dev, CI and testing frameworks, code reviews, agile working, and probably things I'm as yet unaware of. A bit like a junior dev in that sense, but then my programming skills are probably relatively strong.

I'm fairly settled geographically and live in a small city, with a larger one within an hour commute. Moving beyond the nearest big city isn't an option. Working remote is fine.

How best to get back into the industry? I'd prefer a startup over a big corp. I don't really want to be a junior dev as I'm a good hacker, but I don't have open source projects etc. that I can use to demonstrate my competence. A part-time role would enable me to push the side-project forward, but I'm also worried about income - I'm in the UK and local dev roles seem to be around £30K, which would make part-time difficult to afford.

Any thoughts on how best to proceed, please?
> In its 2014 ruling in the case, the Supreme Court decided that under a 1947 law that amended the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, companies do not have to pay employees for the time they spend undergoing security checks.

It's a supreme court decision that is allowing Amazon to do this [0].

TL;DR the decision is solely on if the "activities are an intrinsic element of the employee’s primary job duties and one that cannot be skipped" and since they were "hired to retrieve products from warehouse shelves, not to undergo security screenings, and the company could eliminate the screenings altogether without impairing the employees’ ability to complete their work" Amazon/warehouse contractor didn't have to pay for it.

My sister is retired, but consulted with an old company she used to work for in IT. She found a comment in a header file from the 1980's. Which she wrote.

So yeah, code can hang around.
Well, what about immune function? It's pretty interesting to have one when and after you're bleeding out...

And before you tell me the potential is there, please realize that we currently have only a very partial understanding of how that works, and it would certainly require at least two decades of science to get right.
Do you know if there is any kind of inventory management system that helps blood banks balance their supplies?
I was trying to run versions of our app built between 2011 - 2016. None of them would open in the MacOS 10.15 beta. Before this September 3rd announcement, any attempt to notarize the app would be rejected for not having hardened runtime. I can still use `xcrun altool --notarization-info` to view old notarization reports and reasons for rejections. One such app from 2014, which I attempted to notarize on 2019-08-23 was rejected for reasons such as:

{
"severity": "error",
"code": null,
"path": "my/app/path",
"message": "The signature does not include a secure timestamp.",
"docUrl": null,
"architecture": "x86_64"
},
{
"severity": "error",
"code": null,
"path": "my/app/path",
"message": "The executable does not have the hardened runtime enabled.",
"docUrl": null,
"architecture": "x86_64"
}

I saw this announcement on September 3rd and upgraded the beta. My apps would not open still. So I went and notarized my old apps and this time all of them succeeded in notarization. As soon as the app was notarized, I could open the app in the beta.

In my opinion, a number of people in these threads are missing the point when they suggest: "You can easily run these programs if you just do these quick tricks like using the command line or removing an xattr from the file or a special click workflow" There are companies out there making software for normal people (ie non technical) who will think your app is broken if double clicking doesn't work. These people will call your support lines and this will cost your company money
I like this in your profile --

"Important: If you are looking at this profile because you thought something I posted was wrong, dismissive, disrespectful, douchebaggish, what have you, I would really like to hear from you so that I could understand how you got that impression. I won't get mad, I won't "retaliate" I just want to hear what you have to say. It is important to me to communicate clearly and if something I said struck you that way then I failed and I would like to correct it. (Borrowed from another profile)"

Yes I feel you are being all that in this post. At the end you apologize, that's nice, but before that you said some insulting personal things about me, that I'm sure aren't true. Take responsibility for what you did and said and leave it at that. Apologizing for nasty behavior and then saying yeah but the guy was a dick, that isn't apologizing.

Anyway this is par for the course of Hacker News. The troll post always is highest ranked.
Peter Thiel Lessons for Aspiring Thought Leaders
>There's more politics involved - like the automotive unions giving up numerous raises for better pensions, companies refusing to fully fund pensions in good years leading to them being woefully underfunded in bad, etc.

This is the inherent agency risk in defined benefits. The people at the beginning can make off like bandits while screwing those down the line, whether intentionally or not (due to global economic environmental changes).

>I do really wish everyone had the same access to tax advantaged accounts. The administration costs of 401k's make it more challenging for small companies to offer. All else equal, having a 401k available versus unavailable is with a few thousand dollars per year to me because of the tax deferral.

401k are extremely easy to administer, or at least much, much easier than defined benefit pensions. However, it would be ideal if the US government stopped giving large companies subsidies (via the 401k tax deduction), and simply gave an IRA deduction to everyone, regardless of employer or whatnot. There is no need for employers to be involved.
Never used perl but I've tinkered with (Neo)vim under the cover, which is close I think? If so, it seems like a real nice language.
Definitely don’t put your own company’s stock in your 401k.

The 401k plans I’ve seen all had an option to invest the money in a diverse fund. Either a target date retirement fund that auto allocated to a mix of stocks and bonds, or to other funds such as an S&P 500 index.

Freezing employee stock sales is fairly normal as I understand it. I get emails all the time from my publicly traded employer stating I cannot trade in their stock during certain times (due to the risk of insider trading).

I find the touch interface in XPlane to be fine. I can hold one Oculus Touch controller and also use that hand to hold a hardware yoke and throttle. But I would be very happy if something could track my fingers and I had haptic pads on my finger tips.
