There are similar workarounds for Nvidia and AMD cards as well. For the GeForce I used previously, I remember having to set "Force Composition Pipeline" in the nvidia-settings application. For the Radeon I'm on now, I had to do some config file magic, but I don't remember what it was anymore.
What about sleeping posture?

I had a neck hernia last year following a long triathlon (high stress), while sleeping on the belly. Took 6 months to heal.
Now, I only sleep on the back.

I also hypothesize that eating habits matters in reducing any health issue, including neck pains. Neck pains often being inflammations between cervicals, eating anti-inflammatory food might help prevent it?
Whether it is on Chrome, Firefox, Android or in my text editor, I'll always disable spell checking. I am also not a native english speaker and seeing those red underlines everywhere is just way too annoying for me.
WRT technology, I expect a technological plateau within our lifetime.

In geo-politics, USA will not be the sole superpower anymore:

* China will continue to regain its historical prominence/prestige

* EU will seek more and more independence from the US

* Turkey will look to form its own union of states in the Eastern Mediterranean (kind of a neo-byzantine/neo-ottoman empire)

* Brazil and India will continue to do well

* Russia and Iran's future not so certain

I think the transition will probably be relatively smooth, but we'll have to wait and see.
I think this is explicitly forbidden by app store rules.

It is definitely the case for the iOS app store anyway.
I agree but I am not convinced wealth plays a big role. In France, higher education is pretty much free, and you see probably an even larger lack of social diversity than the US in the most ellitist programs (medecine, engineering, business). In the US there are always ways to finance education if you are a good student.

I think family culture, peer pressure and the school pushing you to go the hard path is by far the most important factor (for equivalent skills).
depend, as I wrote above. If I give you 2 options.

1) $300K in GOOG
2) $300K in cash

if you dont believe that using all of the $300K in cash to buy GOOG immediately is the smart move, yes, you should be blindly diversifying.
Be sure to version your encrypted file, if it becomes corrupt (a single-bit shift is enough), then it will sync-overwrite your file and all passwords are lost.

Even with SIP disabled you can't do shit to that volume until you remount rw (at least, this was reported to work in betas, haven't seen anyone test the shipped OS).
I’ll take the opposite side of that prediction - driving, cooking, and cleaning will be part of the jobs that people compete to get, as the data entry and middle management jobs get wiped out.

I don’t think anything that involves physical variations (I.e. manual labor in differing environments) will be automated for a long time.
I am complaining about the assignment for that intended usage. Why do we allow this usage? It takes most of the usable surface of the city for the storage of ugly, static objects. I would rather assign those spaces for other uses, like wider walkways, kids playgrounds, flowers, whatever.
You conflated Chinese rail (government funded) with private-sector infrastructure funding in the parent comment.
Over 80% of the new acquired users are international, not the in the US, where the percentage of Android is much higher. So it's definitely having an impact.

The downside for most social networks is that the revenue generated from non-US users is much lower than US.
I'm based out of New York currently and involved in building a NLP-heavy product in the B2C side. I already have past experience of working in the area of NLP and Knowledge Graphs at a nascent startup which is doing great. I have learned a lot during that time and have cognizance of the market I am targeting.

Based on my market survey, there is a clear possibility of disruption since the big giants have completely ignored that huge chunk. Currently, I am involved in building the model side and I am looking for someone who has exposure to full-stack development, can build the android/ios apps. I can team-up with backend work. The target is to have an MVP by January 2020 (tentative). I am very open to the tech-stack as long as it can scale and breathe for a good time.

We can discuss more the intricacies of the idea. There needs to be a hustle, passion to build the product and faith in our team.

Run a large gauge wire to another location where you can put a better earth.

In reality, you are likely on a TN earthing system, so you already have a low impedance earth wire supplied from your local transformer and your local earthing is just a "backup".
Loneliness and solitude are totally different things. When I say I'm lonely, I mean I'm lacking meaningful connection with other human beings who understand me, accept me and challenge me at the same time.

Solitude is nice, especially for the introverts among us. But loneliness is deadly.

We've had recessions for the entire history of capitalism, under a large number of legal regimes. We had recessions back when banking was much more tightly regulated. We had recessions under laissez-faire. Recessions are endemic to the system. Our choices are either "combat unemployment" or get ready for socialism to finally win the war of ideas.

That's exactly the point. That should mean their children won't succeed if genetics rather than money are the most important factor. If their children do succeed then money was (probably) more important.

EDIT: If 'being good with money' is an issue, for example if lottery winners don't spend their winnings on their kids, then an alternative would be to look at the successes of children who are adopted in to wealthy families.

Actually, that's not the case, b.c. /usr/local/ isn't included in the read-only file system.
They kind of bury the lead here. They can't have their app on the appstore because:

" While we still updated our applications in time, Apple did not review them for the AppStore, and instead rejected them first for a crash (sigh!), and later for requiring UI changes, including showing a Save As panel for each generated file. Now this may not sound like much, this is a serious issue for a document scan application which easily generates hundreds of files in an hour, and thousands of files a day, with file names automatically generated, either thru counters, or advanced auto-id features, such as barcodes."

Even if Apple later took back the rejection I bet this was the last straw.
I will say, using a more full featured desktop environment can help with the transition (KDE or Gnome). The issues you had with usb devices requiring you to drop into a shell go away. Things like external displays just work, removing the awkward xrandr fiddling before a presentation.
Hmmm. yeah, good point.
I hope you see your point of argument regarding weather conditions: just because you aren't able to deal with the circumstances doesn't mean that everyone else needs to be forced into car/climatized shadowy areas.

The article is about giving space to -all- participants. Currently we highly prioritize cars due to arguments like the weather. As pointed out, weather is not an issue for many folks out there.
With nvidia's driver and multiple displays I still get tearing with an active compositor. Took me a long time to discover the "Force Composition Pipeline" and "Force Full Composition Pipeline" options in nvidia-settings which fix it.
I appear to have kicked off a frenzy of folks eurosplaining to me that they personally ride in deep snow, howling gales, and see no reason that people in hot climates (including hot humid climates with near 100% humidity, or extreme heat events) can't cycle everywhere at all times. Also they will all be happily cycling when they are 80 just like Grandpa Josef and Great-grandma Helga, etc. Congrats, but the statistics are not going to be with you world-wide.

As I said, I'm pro-cycling. Good for you, all you hardy souls. But it is a seriously boneheaded point of view to imagine that cycling is going to be more important as a mode of transport than public transport in most of the world under the conditions that exist now.

There's a large plurality - even in the totally cycle-happy countries - of people that don't ride, and that's a majority past a certain age. These people will get a small benefit (aside from cleaner air and fewer cars on the road, which is nice) from cycling infrastructure. Conversely, a drastic improvement in public transit infrastructure benefits almost everyone - cyclists are pedestrians and transit users some of the time, and they will also benefit from getting cars off the road.

Frankly a lot of folks are confusing their hobby with good public policy.
> In their mid 30s, 44% of woman leave the tech industry.

There couldn't be something else going on in women's 30s that contributes to them leaving the tech industry. Are they fleeing to other industries?

If not, then this claim is absolutely ridiculous, and you know it.
You're looking at humanity through the lens of an individual. The reality is that the threats to people in extreme poverty are not going to threaten humanity as a whole.

I am defining humanity as the progression and prosperity of the human race. Climate change could ultimately threaten the entire human race. It could even result in extinction in the worst case scenario.

I disagree with the comment that because of this, all minds should be focused solely on this issue, and that all other problems should be ignored. But the reality is that a small subset of humanity living in extreme poverty does not pose an existential threat to civilization or the human species.
tl;dr "We switched from floats to rationals."

Literally the whole article talks about why Kafka isn’t a message bus and makes the case whilst this is fine.

That said, I do find pretty quickly you need to get your data out of Kafka in order to query it. Keeping your data in Kafka forever and re-upserting it into your database has mileage though.
- Demographic projections say that we'll be reaching "peak human" where depopulation starts happening, and the urbanisation of humanity should be just about finished. So that should end real estate as being a valuable investment; it becomes a liability where liveable accommodation goes derelict because there's no-one to live in it.

- If we have fusion power, even if the reactor is the size of a battleship, every country's military will have a space program.

- Transportation continues to become cheaper, faster and more autonomous. There's no point in owning anything any more because you can rent it and have it delivered as quickly as you could get it out of a cupboard. You just pay a flat monthly fee depending on what levels of luxury you want, and that entitles you to whatever you need.

The point is at air temps >39c, increasing airflow around you increases apparent temperature.

The more wind you experience (or the faster you ride your bike) in those conditions, the more work your body needs to do for maintaining homeostasis via sweating. You will certainly not perceive a >39c wind as a 'cooling' wind in any conditions, and the faster that wind is the hotter it will feel.
> In my experience, algebraic thinkers absorb information much faster than visual thinkers, but they more often make silly conceptual errors that visual thinkers don't make. For example, an algebraic thinker might accidentally add a vector to a scalar, since their symbols look identical on paper. But a visual thinker would be much less likely to do this, since their visual representations for scalars and vectors would likely be so distinct.

It's too bad these algebraic thinkers aren't working in a nice IDE with type inference.
Robe de soirée de col en vs. en chiffon a-ligne avec perle – GoodRobe
Article has some weird writing/typos, "updates, bu" and "we where actually". Some of it might be because the company is in Germany, but still... the company doesn't seem particularly professional or well-managed. It's hard to tell from the website but it looks like it's run by one person with occasional help from others.

And the software is kind of weird, scanners always come Windows drivers/software so there's no issue using it there. Linux support is less guaranteed but you can check the compatibility lists (http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html). So it's exploiting a niche in driver support between Apple and the manufacturers.

I'm not saying the author is a nutcase, but this seems like one rare data point and I'd prefer to see more companies pulling their stuff off the app store before drawing any real conclusions.
Significant dislocations of coastal population will cause shifts in demographics and voting. Some regimes will fall because of it, the UN Charter on refugees will be amended.

Resentment against entrenched industry shills and oligarchy will lead to extra judicial acts of revenge. The actors behind this will not coalesce the way religious fundamentalism has, but will be understood as a common root cause much as luddism was.

A new small C conservatism will replace radically economic reductionism of the Chicago school kind, massive public works and Keynesian intervention will predominate. Low tax regimes will find the cost of corporatism in health and lifestyle terms counter productive, extreme wealth taxes and punishments for evasion will be international.

Literacy will not fall, but writing will be uncommon.

Google will be remembered fondly before dismemberment. Facebook will be regarded as an aberation. Religions will compete on TV. Access to intelligent agents (not aware ai but ubiquitous use of ai derived optimisation and machine learning based systems) will be almost a right, where access to data is a right, albeit only if identified. Use of VPN and data hiding will be a first class felony in itself and linked to some kind of precrime with presumption of innocence lost.

Wondering why the Research Triangle isn't on this list.
I hate the way they've defined their metric:

> VSE is expressed as a percentage. A voting method which could read voters minds and always pick the candidate that would lead to the highest average happiness would have a VSE of 100%. A method which picked a candidate completely at random would have a VSE of 0%. In theory, VSEs down to negative 100% would be possible if a voting method did worse than a random pick

If VSE is going to be a percentage, it should be a percentage of the maximum happiness -- that is, the total happiness if everyone got their first choice, not the total happiness that is the highest any candidate can actually achieve. I say this mostly because it's much easier to calculate.

But more fundamentally, there is no reason to expect the worst-case candidate to be equally as bad as the best-case candidate is good. It's a huge mistake to rank systems on a scale from +100% to -100% where the units on the positive and negative "halves" of the scale are different!

And it's also a mistake to define 0% as whatever sortition achieves. It's trivial to construct a pathological system in which 0% VSE is equal to 100% VSE. (Everyone is equally un/happy with all candidates.) This should be impossible.
Ask HN: How are you changing the world?
The Third World seems plagued by problems. Climate change, plastics, diseases etc are such clearly visible issues in those countries.

What are you doing that is having an impact on the issues that really matter?
It's not so obvious to me. The usual argument I've heard is that quantum randomness might sometimes be controlled by a non-physical entity external to our universe (in the sense of biasing measurements in critical moments). While an interesting fantastic idea, I don't think it brings much to the table, given that it is not testable. Is this what you meant or something else?

Otherwise, quantum mechanics at best leaves room for randomness (non-determinism, stochasticity) of the will, not what people usually mean when they say it.

Unfortunately, trying to make a solution bend to 100% of the population is equally myopic. Right now, car-based transportation networks have one set of tradeoffs that disadvantages one group of people. As silly as it would be, switching to a bicycle-only network would disadvantage another group of people. Rethinking of transportation mode-share is an exercise in decreasing and shifting the disadvantages and allocating different advantages, climate change being one concern.
I think we have very deep problem in our culture where so many systems are built on unsustainable exponential growth. It encompasses everything from our elder pension/healthcare system to tenure at the universities. Huge cultural, social, and economic changes are going to be necessary and it's not going to be pretty. Eric Weinstein calls this phenomenon EGOs, or embedded growth obligations.
It very much seems it is, though what specifically drives this may be complex.

Effectively, playing with apparent risk/reward, in the sense of overstating or understating the potential benefits or costs/hazards of an activity or phenomenon, is a form of rent-seeking. It allows an asset to appreciate (or a risk to be discounted), without doing any real work.

Whether that's done through a deliberate calculation, through inherent psychological bias, through group or peer pressure, or other mechansism, seems to vary. But you'll find this across activities, technical domains, space, and time.

It's a major element of Bernhard J. Stern's "Resistances to the Adoption of Technological Innovations", from 1937, which looks at the history of numerous innovations across multiple areas. You'll find this repeatedly in all kinds of technical and technological disasters: Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, numerous aircraft disasters, military campaigns, entire wars, business decisions, and any number of mundane accidents. In the use of lead, asbestos, tobacco, CFCs, and CO2.

One common element is that risks, whilst occasionally somewhat apparent, are not unambiguously manifest. Failures are almost always highly nonlinear. At one moment, things are mostly OK, though there are possible signs of trouble. Moments later, everything is gone to hell.

Up until that point, it's possible to argue otherwise. Occasionally even past it.

I am mostly a autodidact when it comes to music, but one who made it to some level (I play in a improvisational band). In my experience there are only few classical musicians who are able to work freely when interpreting a existing piece (and they are usually very good at what they are doing). But when you ask a regular classical trained musician to improvise, they will look at you in fear or start playing a piece they know by hard.

I think this is sad, because musician should be about fooling around and experimenting with sounds, melodies and phrases that come out of your instrument. Of course you can refine it all for a concert, but beeing a perfect classical musician should be more like Picasso and less like someone who tries to paint like a photograph (and keep in mind: Picasso was pretty good at the photorealistic stuff too if you look at early stuff). Music needs soul and that you only get through interpretation.
