I remember some fake news about Iraq and WMD around 2003.
It's sad that RSS is fading away. It simplified ingestion a lot. At the end of the day it focuses on content and a feed provides a quick overview of all the new content that has been published. I don't really understand why people are not into it anymore. Blogs and news sites don't even need to provide HTML pages loaded with JS and CSS when they provide RSS. Why would I bother loading so much stuff when I can get the data straight away without the bloat

I also liked both books by Ricardo Semler a lot (Maverick and Seven Days Weekend).
Well there are several topics here: first, it is not true that people thinking about visual performance will find the right schedule for non-visual (circadian, alertness). The two are simply different concentrations, and we have chosen to focus our research and work on non-visual responses.

Treating sleep-maintenance insomnia is often done by increasing light levels at night to move rhythms later, and seasonality often requires different patterns of light based on the time of year. This is one of the reasons we have been asking people not to copy what we said in 2009 - some people need more light at night during the winter, not less, and timing needs vary greatly.

Our core audience for f.lux is younger people, and on average they need less light at night - the normal distribution of chronotypes has a very long tail in the direction of night owls, and their timing tends to be most at odds with society's requirements for wake times.

So I would say the product as it is today tends to be a better fit for the night owl half of the distrubution, and not extreme early types. But our main area of study is to generalize these schedules and lighting changes to be "right" for nearly everyone. It is rather difficult work, and you have to study the effects over years.
Yeah you’re right about the Bieber thing. I realized that after posting.

I don’t know, it’s definitely wrong to decide who people should idolize but part of me feels like that’s what’s going on with the most popular idols, that’s why I feel the need to warn them.

There’s a good chance I’m just full of myself though.
This. And other Google services like Hangouts. I've tried a handful if times to switch from Chrome to Firefox but my company uses GSuite so having to have Chrome running for Hangouts anyway makes the point moot.
In similar vein, there is the "poison pill" defence in business where a company that does not wish to be acquired (typically by hostile takeover) makes itself unpalatable to potential acquirers.

> That's a pretty reductivist way to define civilisation...

Agreed. I would consider banning slavery as more civilized, but it is an expansion of civil liberties.

Same with having general freedom of expression. Any thug can ban "lies" he doesn't like. Kings used to declare themselves gods and execute dissenters.
Malaysia, where Malay is the official language but much of the legal system still runs in English, passed a law that was in fact entitled the "Anti-Fake News Act 2018" and very much uses "fake news" as a legal term.

Thankfully, the new government has repealed this ridiculous legislation.
I have some projects based on Jupyter Notebook (e.g. https://github.com/stared/thinking-in-tensors-writing-in-pyt...), and collaboration sucks. Even with git, I need to resort to "don't touch these files, I am working on them right now".

I was thinking about using RMarkdown files (vide https://towardsdatascience.com/version-control-with-jupyter-...) as for them diffs make sense.

Does any of you use this approach, or have insights on how to make it good for collaboration AND visible on GitHub?
Agreed, Altium's autorouter takes, what, 10 seconds?

24 hours? That's an East Asian subcontractor.
White papers like dynamo about distributed systems
I read the white paper on dynamo and was hooked to it! Need references of other white papers to look into about distributed system concepts in general
Why doesn't any other manufacturer of cars have a similar problem? Did I miss the story where BMW or Mercedes demand $1200 to replace this part? Tesla knew it wanted a highly digital logging investment and they didn't design for use life. Doesn't feel like a sensible place to be.

But to your main point, no. The actual cost per board of getting a design done for replaceable parts would have been higher. Once they hit volume the amortization would kick in. But for the earliest, yes,expensive. Strangely in the world of eg routers, the first gen often has more hackabilty, more removable parts and it's the later ones which shrink down, gets the bill of materials down.

Seriously, they should comp all the replacements for the life of the car, just for p.r. value.
Same to you. Great to be a part of this amazing community. I am working as a security expert i believe it is a great platform to share my thoughts and experience and learn from others as wel.

The multi-profile functionality in Chrome is just so much more usable than Firefox. Yes you can hack things together with command line arguments and shortcuts, but its nowhere near as seamless.

I'd be surprised if it's any different to modding your BIOS in a PC motherboard: Buy a SOIC-8 clamp, a USB interface and bob's your uncle. Unless the ECU is potted in epoxy.
It's sort of a Catch-22 but worse. No one good joins the opposition parties because they don't stand a chance of winning, and the opposition parties don't stand a chance of winning because no one good joins them. Even if the opposition parties were suddenly magically packed full of talent one year, the PAP still has the senior vote, track record, civil servant connections, and actual governing experience for Singapore that none of the opposition could possibly have. Singaporeans don't elect on ideals and promises for change, they elect on feelings of stability and security. The only way I can see an opposition party putting up real competition and having a chance at attaining a majority in parliament is if a quarter to half of the PAP schisms and joins the WP, which isn't likely.
There is also spice-html5 client but I am not sure project is mature enough yet
There are so many extreme problems with racism in Singapore, including abuse of “minor“ ethnicities in the corporate workplace. It’s benevolent for certain people, and the complete opposite for others. Slave labor is the norm in that country, for both manual labor and seemingly corporate desk work. It’s vastly underpaid, overworked, highly restrictive lifestyle if you’re not a native.

You are an expat from United States, so your experience is much much different than most people there. Westerners are immediately moved to the top of the culture stack.
Formal logic and reasoning.

Probably the best thing you could teach any student. Of course it’s applicable to CS, but it’s also applicable to life.
I (literally) beat the crap out of my car; it’s going on 13 years and a quarter of a million miles. The engine mount is wearing out so it shakes a lot but other than that it drives great. I’d imagine people with similar cars that actually maintain them have even better experiences.

> Yes kind of like a train but without disrupting the land below so much.

...or the ocean below. If the blimps can be grounded to ships, the ocean floor or don't need grounding, this could be a realistic way of building bridges across the oceans.
> Type "blue light circadian rhythm study" on google and you basically only find studies supporting that blue light has a negative impact.

But the moment you actually evaluate the studies, you'll find that almost all

* don't research blue light specifically, but light at all

* use unrealistic settings, like 4 to 8 hours bedtime reading (really)

* don't properly control for other known sleep affecting factors - and have small sample groups so they can't rely on the law of large numbers to solve that issue

* only measure melatonin, not actual sleep.

If you filter those out, the result ist basically zero quality studies.

I'm aware that many people swear that this works, but there really is not much scientific support for the theory.

Just for comparison: Full sunlight has up to 30000lux of blue light alone, while a very bright phone screen, set to all white, manages to output at most 300lux of blue light. There may be a real effect here, but it has to be weak, else people in scandinavia would have severe problems with their circadian rhythms.
It wasn't news, that was convenient untruth.
Google Photos rolls out manual face tagging: Tutorial, benefits, & big asterisk
SAD and cancer rates go up somewhat with latitude, definitely by 35-40N. But it is complicated because it doesn't affect everyone the same way. e.g., most of Europe is living above 40N.

In some cases, availability of natural light (due to tree cover, weather, and position in timezone) is as important as latitude.

I would guess that some people are simply better at living at more extreme latitudes or with a weaker circadian signal. Several researchers have tried to use particular genetic markers to explain this, but I don't know a specific one that explains all of it.

I think we are talking at cross purposes.

If the chips are tightly integrated propriatary black boxes like on most hw then from my POV its _physcially_ possible for them to read anything regardless of what the designers/industry say because I do not trust them.

You trust your sources that say "..simply false that the cellular modem can access arbitrary data in RAM". I don't.
Even if you claim to have personally designed, fabbed and shipped that silicon I still have no practical reason to trust.
You are right, there exists no such law in quantum mechanics.

But even if it would exist, then there would still be no justification for assuming that this law should still hold in a place as extreme as a black hole. A black hole is by its very nature a place where our current laws of physics are not defined.
Is there any chance of legal surrogacy in India?
Right, but does overly hand-wavy explanations representing itself as actual science help or hinder? If people conclude that "this is what science is like" then _no wonder_ we have the current informational problems.

If people will "believe anything" then isn't that an argument against, rather than for, giving them more of the same?
Most small towns in the U.S. are extremely safe. I used to live in one and I basically never locked my home or car. And people are spread out enough that you still get plenty of freedom... no particular zoning, nobody to be bothered by your noise, etc.
Public housing in Singapore is not equivalent to those elsewhere simply due to them being built not for the poor but for population demographic control with arbitrary ethnic quotas per building and rules preventing singles from leasing flats. 70-80% of the population lives in public housing estates which are sold with a 99year lease, you don’t even get to own your own flat.
> Wondering if I should just quit? Is career salvageable?

Career is almost always salvageable. What you carry over from your previous job into a new one is ... what you list on your CV and what you say and do in the interview. Unless you're in a very small pool and the interviewers are personal acquaintances of the old employer, everything else, good or bad, will largely not count.

You should definitely take a break. Are you perhaps on holiday for Thanksgiving, the first holiday you've taken in ages? Take a bit more holiday. Go somewhere quiet and scenic and do nothing for a bit.

While on holiday, do not answer work related questions with anything other than "I'm on holiday" and a reference to the docs and the colleague who is taking over your responsibilities while you're on holiday. This becomes important later, because your supervisor can't take credit for work you do while you're on holiday and you can use your absence to subtly indicate how critical you are.

Think about what your desired outcome is and what work you're prepared to do to get it.

Basically your options are to cut your losses and leave, or stay and fight. And it will be a fight. You won't be able to get the team lead fired, the best you might be able to achieve is your separation to different teams, and the smaller the office is the harder this is.
My office is not that big, so yes it is quite intense there. But, I should say just that system is capable of delivering >500 vertical melanopic lux (which is a metric based on holding the meter vertically rather than pointing "up"), and this feels remarkably bright.

I think it's reasonable to characterise that as a fake news crisis. I'm fed up with pedants insisting that every mention of everything has to be annotated and caveat-ed with every possible qualification. If you want to add context or broaden the discussion, there are positive ways to do that which add value other than a whiny "well actually" post.

When did carriers ever get anything tech based right?
In fact to expect them is wrong as their business model is very different to a tech company. They are beneficiaries of law-bound limited duopolies or oligopolies. In most countries the only audience they care for are the regulators, and not consumers or their security and safety. Regulatory capture is a wonderful thing for these companies and not for consumers.

> EDIT: The way I see it is if I buy a car with a 3 year warranty and something fails after 4 years, it's not the manufacturer's responsibility to fix it because the warranty has expired. Why do you think it is?

The normal expected lifetime of a new car today is apparently 8 years or 150,000 miles. So I would expect the car to last 8 years on average. If a car is going to last significantly less than that on average (e.g. assuming this means the car needs a fix every 4 years), this should be disclosed in the marketing.

"years" of warranty is a silly concept anyway. If I buy a new car then store it in a perfect environment unused for 20 years (assuming we maintain anything that isn't stable like oil), it should still work as if new. If it doesn't, it clearly wasn't sold fit for purpose.
Singapore has socialized healthcare. On the provider side, most of the hospitals are owned by the government. On the insurance side, employees are required by the government to pay into health savings accounts (with nearly matching employer contributions). There are additional public insurance schemes for the poor and elderly. On top of that, costs in the public hospitals are subsidized to a significant extent.

It seems to me that a lot of people are mixing DDD and functional programming concepts, since DDD meshes well with the concept of "functional core imperative shell".
The articles do not offer much in the way of evidences. This is understandable since the authoritarian nature of China makes it hard to gather any evidence in the first place. I remain skeptical over the fact that Uighurs (Caucasians) and ethnic Chinese (East Asians) are genetically different and the recipient's body is very likely to reject the organ.
It is important first to say that sleep optimization is not the only goal with these things, and understanding the timing of melatonin (not just melatonin suppression) is how we find out "when" the circadian clock is set.

The circadian system is loosely coupled to sleep, but it affects many other parts of the body. So if your rhythms are more than 2-3 hours out of sync you will definitely have more trouble sleeping, but this is not the only effect, which is why we work with people studying other topics also.

But overall, yes, I think we'll learn that regular room lighting has at least as big an effect as screens, and that's because in terms of "hours" people spend a lot of them in general illumination, but often only check their phone a few times, or watch a dark movie, which isn't very bright. It's only some of us that code all night in front of a bright screen.
As good as AoC is, I think this year I might try and develop the same program (or maybe solve a single one of the puzzles) each day in a different programming language. So one puzzle, 24 languages.. I sorta feel I'd learn more from that rather than sharpening the same knife over and over, perhaps.
It's a mix. PAP are quite competent and has improved lifes greatly. On the hand there is the GRC concept that screw opposition. GRC are constitutcies which are worth multiple parliament seats. Only one was won by opposition and that was by a razor thin margin. GRC also make gerymendering easier and less obvious.
