I wonder how much a hair dresser in the bay area makes, and how far they have to travel from their tiny apartment to reach their work place, where $50 are charged for a haircut.

have you considered donating all your revenues to a foundation that teaches future unemployed hair dressers how to code? /s

If not what else do you do to be able to sleep at night?
Great improvement since the last video!

Are you just using Jacobian transpose for force control on the neck? I ask because it seems a bit stiff, the red marks on the neck of the test subject suggested to me that maybe there's a lot of noise in your force sensing, or at least unmodeled behavior.

Due to the slow growth of test subject hair, have you found 6$ to be cheap enough to keep your test cycles short enough?

The kinematic configuration of the arm looks odd, did you pick this to maximize rank of the Jacobian or the manipulability matrix?

To be clear, at $5 per channel that is like saying the channel is half as valuable as Netflix, which is simply not possible. That said, we get it... not everyone has the scale to race to the bottom like Netflix, but that's the situation just the same.
There's a sibling comment to yours which a number of people replied to, with a pretty good list of situations where you would want to disable text selection.
It was not like this yesterday (Dec 15).
There is currently no path for any of that. No rendering without a DOM, and no opening WASM files by themselves. The same is true for JavaScript... if you open a JavaScript file, you just see the source code.

Of course, why not just use a small HTML+JS shim for your WASM?
Oh, I did not know that. Sigh why do journalists accept to go along with these lies? (No, don't answer, that's rhetorical).

So apparently feature sizes are around 40 nm even in "7" or "10 nm" processes.
I think the same for me. What I've gotten from books r.e. psychological issues are perspective and tools.

Perspective: sometimes a writer puts things in a way that illuminates or alters how I see my situation.

Tools: sometimes a writer has an idea or a scheme that I can put to practical use. The pomodoro timer on my desk has been handy even without adopting every aspect of the method. That came from a blog rather than a book, but same idea (to me.)
DIY Designed Business Cards
>(along with all the changes that imples)

You just put designing an entirely new airplane in a parenthetical. New landing gear means modifications to the wing. Modifying the wing isn't much less work than just designing a new one. By the time you've designed a brand new wing, you've 75% of the way to a new clean sheet design anyway.
It's pretty perplexing, I'm seeing just the PCB go for $50, when you can get that PCB fabbed for $10 from the design. It appears like everyone just marks stuff up at every step, an ergodox-ez costs $300 but around $100 if you assemble it yourself.

I guess it's a niche item.
I've read that book two years ago and really liked it. As such, I was recommended "My Name is Red" by Orhan Pamuk which is supposedly similar and which will be the next one to tackle (after I finish my current one: "Faust" by Goethe). After that...no idea. I don't really plan ahead like that since the decision on what book to start depends most on how I feel at the time/what kind of genre/story/setting I desire the most. All I can say is that "The Three Musketeers" by Dumas is on my radar.
Touche. Removed the Show HN: prefix.

it makes sense to apply user-select: none on draggable components, or those where the text is not actually text such as icon fonts. But it's one of those instances where a tool that's legitimately useful in one small, specific instance is used more generally without due consideration (or in other examples such as `confirm()` on window exit, actively malicious). I'm sure a better solution for the legitimate use cases could be designed though.
This is only a problem for online services, multiplayer games etc. These shouldn't trust client-provided data, including data that comes from WASM. But there are countless applications that can be entirely local, with no need to interact with any sort of "cloud" services. WASM can potentially be quite helpful there
> We're getting deeper and deeper into a post-truth world.

Are we though? Or is it just becoming much more obvious the limitations of relying on the media in general. This very well might lead to a better understanding of truth, and our personal responsibility in understanding it.

At the very least, it's not a foregone conclusion that this will lead to worse outcomes than what we have today. It might be what tips us in a new and better direction.
The screen saying "CALIBRATED, BAD" is a little disconcerting.

It would be alright for me if the terms of use where:

If your content is against the law, or does not conform to the guidelines that where written in the terms of use, it will be removed.

And for the guidelines:
A Guideline change will be communicated at least half a year before the changes

This gives people ample time to other plattforms or move videos.

Thanks for being the only person to assume that I am an outlier in some way other than by being an asshole!

I don't know why everyone assumes that "different" has to be "asshole"

If anything, "asshole-ish" would be a part of "self" that is allowed to be expressed at work, so long as it is in limited doses
I wasn't able to figure out what the lie was, exactly. Is it in the article?
Bit of background - last January I read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations for the first time. There haven't been many books that I'd say changed by life, but this one certainly did. It resonated so strongly with struggles I was having (and still have), that it inspired me to dig as deep as I could into the topic. So that's what I did. I think I spent the last 8 months reading everything I could from Marcus, Epictetus and Seneca, and dissected their works into quotes that I then mapped to certain struggles I have. That resulted in a series of essays, of which this one is the first.
I doubted whether I should publish this, as I primarily wrote this for myself. But then a couple of people read it, and convinced me to share it with others. So, that's what I'm doing here.
The reason I wanted to share it here is because Stoicism has as its fundamental principles very similar ones to the ones I think many of us here at HN adhere to, which are 1) When in doubt, apply rationality, and 2) Life is about contributing to your community's well-being.
Hope it helps you then same way it helps me.

APM Is Dying – and That’s Okay
> Most of the literature is just translated from another language.

And the original literature is problematic. Since the 1970s, Esperanto activists have heavily emphasized that Esperanto is just a neutral interlanguage, that it aims to allow everyone to keep their native language and let language diversity flourish. But at the same time, Esperantists are so proud of people creating cultural output in Esperanto, as opposed to expressing themselves first in their native languages and only then translating that expression into Esperanto.

You are right that the literature is often not good. The problem is that as a very small community, publishing in Esperanto is either self-publishing or vanity publishing (i.e. if you have the money to pay, you can get your manuscript published, and then it gets sold by Esperanto booksellers or at congresses). There is little quality control. This isn't limited to Esperanto -- one encounters this also in natural languages whose communities of speakers are only in the thousands or low hundreds of thousands.
I did a college abroad program to Japan many years ago, and this was one of the funniest culture shocks I had. I was dumbfounded and astonished as my friends told me that's how they celebrated. I didn't know the story behind it until now, but I thought it was one of the most brilliant marketing moves ever.
Is this any different from Youtube, Twitch, Vimeo, or Patreon? I would assume they all have abusive binding arbitration clauses.

Headcanon: there's a detailed audio library and specification for events in space maintained by the Space Sound Simulation Consortium (S3C) on Coruscant that defines a universal standard for how to render sensor readings as noise.

Times have changed where few non-greenfield projects use these patterns as well. Languages like Go and javascript will rarely have these patterns. I would avoid depending on the programming language.

If you are working with Java or C++ these are the two languages where these patterns will appear, even in greenfield projects due to developer loyalty. If you are working with languages other than this, then you are more likely not to encounter these patterns that often.

Thus avoid the book unless you want to become an expert in Java. Also these patterns can be learned without the GoF book just off of quick scans of articles on the internet.

This is cool, but keep in mind that the operator can also get SSL certs for your site (they just point the domain somewhere else and use Lets Encrypt or similar to get a certificate). So from a security perspective, you are putting a ton of trust if you use this for anything real.
No there was an explosion sound but it more of a generic thundercrack kind of muffled sound.
As an aside to the parent poster, an often-stated guideline for the maximum amount you should own in the companies you work for is 10% of your portfolio value [1][2]. Modern portfolio theory (Markowitz, et. al.) calculations for a bundle of assets probably would bear out that 20% in a single stock is not on the efficient frontier [3].

This analysis seems to assume that the scrapped airframes are worth $0, which clearly isn't the case. Unfortunately I don't have anywhere near the expertise to produce a realistic value of their scrap value, but I would expect that large portions of the avionics and engine systems would retain significant value.
Off-topic, but I wish Markdown had a proper "multi line" block quote syntax like this. The current standard of ">" is open to too much interpretation around paragraph breaks. Similar to how fenced code blocks with ``` are a major improvement over prefixing the line with 4 spaces.

There was a great radiolab episode about this.[1]

"There's no way that this happened without the intervention of either spooks or worse, foreign spooks"

Apparently, the trend towards that sort of debate is student initiated. Students want this. Though at the same time, students aren't unanimous in wanting this style of debate. The radiolab episode goes in to detail about the controversy.

_With word of the Christmas “Party Barrels” making their way across Japan, the national broadcaster NHK interviewed Okawara about his role in bringing the Colonel to Japan and asked if KFC for Christmas was a common custom overseas. Unable to turn down such a glaring opportunity, the young entrepreneur said yes. “I still regret that, but people liked it because it was something good [they thought came] from the U.S. or European countries,” he told Household Name._

You can still want to maintain influence without having personal/financial exposure to the consequences.
I've unfortunately had to stop reading CNN due to their website.
You're mixing up Rather with the trusted source. Rather received documents from what was apparently a long-term, trusted source. CBS certainly screwed the pooch in that incident, but a long-term relationship with a well-placed source is inherently a form of vetting.
There's a "Become creator" button at the bottom that leads you to this page: https://www.floatplane.com/support#join-as-pilot

The site seems to be at a beta stage at the moment and they are probably letting creators in very slowly so I would hold off if your intention is to completely replace YouTube.
My personal definition of consciousness is tied up with memory. What I mean by this is that you can only be conscious of potentially remembered perceptions and that you never remember things that you were not originally conscious of. Maybe the act of implanting the memory is somehow consciousness. Perhaps it's the data compression of the perception prior to storage- replacing the actual data of the perception with smaller links to previous perceptions, or something like that. Any filtering out of non-interesting data happens before this.

I like this definition, because it allows for the huge amount of unconscious signal processing in the brain that we are not aware of. For example, we don't remember the color left eye rod #12579 at such and such a time, but we do remember that there was an orange cat sitting on the stairs.

Anyway, so I think a lot of visual processing is unconscious and it should be no surprise that parts of it happen in different parts of the brain. I don't buy that they are necessarily detecting conscious perception, just some part of the image processing.
If none of the current plugs are usable, can we have a low-power plug standard based on PoE?

Having both ethernet and low power from one socket would be perfect for IoT devices, save people from having to run Ethernet wiring themselves afterwards, and cut down on wireless spectrum use.

And your 'smart fridge' would just plug into both outlets and use a relay to cut 230V if the motor doesn't need to run.
Anybody know if there is a python equivalent?
At first I didn't understand what the title meant, then I remembered the original meaning of uber.
If that were the case paid services wouldn't be doing it too. The reason they do is that there is no large enough incentive/consequence to make a convincing argument to leave that revenue on the table. It is neither hosting it elsewhere nor the "free" services which tend to be the worst examples of it, but rather the lack of any financially valid reason not to.
Ahh, good points. I do have the ESP8266 in my list - I considered the RPi Zero, but I felt it was too difficult to get a hold of at its proper price.

Well that's unfortunate. I've used these lite interfaces when I was on bandwidth-restricted networks, including satellite internet connections. I hope they bring it back. The main CNN website is an awful pile of junk and I avoid it whenever possible.
You can take a Canvas element and draw anything you like on it - even hardware accelerated 3d using webGL. I think there are some projects trying to (re) implement a 2d user interface, rendered onto canvas.
However the issue id that you will need to reimplement a lot of things the browser already does for you: rendering text, scaling, zoom, input methods, highlighting text, accessibility features, etc...
Unless you use case is very different from normal browser usage (e.g. 3d graphics) the advantages seem dubious to me.

I agree, these terms are terrible for both "Pilots" (users) and "Creators".

- Binding arbitration in Canada where the loser pays all costs.

- They can increase "Pledge fees" arbitrarily with just a single email notifying you

- All monthly/yearly payments are non-refundable, with no partial credit returned. So if a creator deletes their account or simply blocks you, you lose access and don't get any money back. If they refund you (extraordinary circumstances), it's only as credit.

- When payments are delayed to Creators they will "try" to communicate the reason.

- They will "try" to make payments "timely"#

- They have catch-all consent for communication, can't opt out of spam.

Is this an "SF problem"? I live in the east bay (Union City) and a haircut costs $20 at local places and I never have to book an appointment, never have to wait, I just walk in and get it done right away and I walk out the door. I had no idea that SF haircuts costed $50 and required booking an appointment.
It's interesting that the web standardized on one programming language.

In hindsight I feel like this isn't surprising. How many platforms (that aren't themselves operating systems) support scripting in more than one language? Vim/Neovim is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Besides being over 70, what other circumstances discourage you from having surgery?

My grandmother had two EGDs and hip surgery after 90 with no long term deficits from them that we can see. She was even classified as frail at the time, although in retrospect I'm pretty sure that was incorrect.

From what I've read it's a good idea to stay away from GA, but there's a lot that can be done with mild sedation and a spine block.
I've thought about that - but have been hesitant until I'm sure it's to a level of quality that I can live with. (The project is only about a month old.)
> In a year-and-a-half, the time required to train a large image classification system on cloud infrastructure has fallen from about three hours in October 2017 to about 88 seconds in July 2019. During the same period, the cost to train such a system has fallen similarly.

3 hours to 88 seconds? Wow... I wonder if that's been further reduced today (December 2019)
I agree that these connectors are typically low-quality. I can't imagine ever needing to earth them, however.
It's very easy for an intelligence agency to make it look like this was a Grass Roots movement. I am a member of this community (debate community) and I believe that it was anything but grassroots.
