Yes..it’s called neuralogical dissonance. It tricks the brain into thinking that the red chilies are spicier than they really are..usually there is a ratio to red Chilli
Pepper and Sichuan pepper for the Mala effect.

It is a numbing or tingling effect. It makes us think that the tingling/numbing is due to spice/heat scoville level. This in turn starts a cascade of other symptoms that is involuntary and usually associated with too much spicy heat in the food..like sweating or increased heart rate or eyes watering etc. in pale skinned diners, it makes them really red in the cheeks and fully flushed as tho they are eating Chilli peppers at a very high scoville rating.

The interesting thing is that the numbing sensation ‘hijacks’ the neural feedback to the brain which releases a flood of endorphins because there is a cognitive dissonance..because heat/spice level is translated as pain in the brain.

It’s the neatest culinary hack. I used to be a chef before I drifted into farming. I take great pleasure in demonstrating this. Another one is Japanese Sansho pepper tree. Also from South America, spilanthese ..these button like flowers(they look like buds..they lack petals). do the same thing. It is also known as toothache plant as its used by herbalists for numbing of the mouth for dental pain/toothaches. I grew them in my farm for some years (I was selling to herbalists) and it was always a hit with school kids on farm tour.
Any artificial extrasolar objects that use spin for gravity would be far to small for current telescopes to resolve, not to mention detect their spin, if they are circular.

That seems like a much better bet - the asteroids own gravity should be negligiable & you should be able to get reasonably sized cavern rather easily. Also a non/slowly spinnong asteroid is in general easier to dock with.

Stability works until it doesn't. The Romans were very good at building a stable and powerful empire until the dominance/greed ethic that powered it, consumed it from the inside out and it collapsed.

I find Aaronson's output consistently baffling, because he seems to understand the world entirely through mathematical abstractions, and mathematical abstractions are fundamentally a bad way to solve problems if you don't understand the problem space.

You can create eigenmorality or eigendemocracy if you really want to, but it seems he's is more interested in the fact that they generate a neato mathematical puzzle than in the 4000 or so years of existing debate about ethics and government.

Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Smith, Hobbes, and many others will tell him far more about the challenges of politics and morality than linear algebra will.

But applying linear algebra creates a seductive illusion of powerful insight into a problem that's much harder than it appears to be.

In reality the "insight" is minimal and trite. Worse: the process which generates the insight reveals an unconscious ethical and political bias of its own - and also guarantees this solution will cause more problems than it solves.
I very much doubt that - Monzo's whole plan was to do this and they still couldn't pull it off and become profitable with it.

I think the future of challenger banks is in offering competitive services at much lower overheads compared to the legacy banks. Starling Bank is a good example of that IMO, and as far as I know they're profitable.
Also, when it rains in the morning when you go to work, but is sunny and not so cold when you head back home (or the other way around).

Obviously, you _could_ carry two jackets in that case, but if you live in London (like me) there's no way to know for sure which you'll need before you leave the house.
It's relevant to what you choose to use as the standard. A language can be fine on its own terms, but also you should only install it with a layer on top and not by itself.

Also anecdote, but I wear mine frequently when commuting or listening to a bit of background music at work and because there is no cord or significant weight I will often forget that I have them in. I once wore them in to work from my commute and did not notice that they were in until I went to put on a hat when going out to lunch and brushed one out of an ear.
The Apple Watch is hundreds of times bigger in volume and putting eSIM inside was a huge engineering challenge, one that still comes with MANY caveats. I don't see how it's feasible to put eSIM in earphones with current and next-gen technology.

This looks pretty good. And I also get the reason behind it’s name. But for a utility package like this, it’s better if it was named errors. It makes the usage and call sites clear. Ex: eris.New() vs errors.New()
> I feel this isn't going to work well the second time

It worked a second time and half a dozen times more just the past 100 years. Japan, Germany, France, South Korea, Taiwan, etc all used protectionism to develop their local industries and companies, just like the US did in the 1800s and like China did most recently. Protectionism is required to protect young local underdeveloped industries and companies from wealthier foreign companies. Every major industrialize power used protectionism to get to where they are at today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectionism_in_the_United_St...

It isn't a secret. It's a well established fact by now.

> Automation right around the corner and India isn't willing to do the things china was allowed to do.

Rather than automation, it's india's politics and the mindset of a large portion of their elites. If you want to understand why india won't be successful, just look at the members of the british commonwealth. You'll see that india is still in it. If the political elite of india, for whatever reasons, still think being part of the british commonwealth is a good idea, it is obvious they are not going to do anything to truly improve india - especially things that might hurt their former colonial masters and the west's interests. You'll never see the US in the british commonwealth with the english queen as our head of state. I'm sure you'll never see china in it either. The elites in the US and china has some national pride needed to improve their nations.

Also, india doesn't have the "political center/authority" with which to enact painful reforms internally to industrialize and to ward off external pressure from the west. The problem with India is that they lack the nationalistic aspects of Japan, Germany, France, South Korea, Taiwan, etc which allowed these nations to protect their local industries and develop. And any attempts towards a nationialism in india would led to some internal friction, but more importantly, the west will stoke divisions within the population and amongst the elites to destabilize india and get it back under control.

India has a lot of potential but without a strong political center/authority, it can never fulfill its potential. And you only really need that strong political center/authority to provide internal stability and protect from destabilizing foreign interference for a decade or two to help your local industries and companies to develop and industrialize. Otherwise, your country will be bought up by capital rich companies and countries. Who knows if Modi is the man for the job. Given india's history, I won't be holding my breath.

Also, in case you think protectionism doesn't exist in the US, China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, etc. look at what is happening with huwaei and the trade war. Look into the protectionist policies of every major industrial nation. It's strange how the wealthy nations love protectionism for themselves but want open markets for poor nations.
I don’t know about that. I am planning on studying Vedic astrology or Indian Jyotish. It uses the sidereal zodiac which is based on the fixedness of the stars and is moon sign based rather than sun signs. They also have north and south nodes of the moon which are technically shadow planets as they don’t really exist but are only part of the moon.(in myth, they cause the eclipses) It’s an entirely different system. I am looking forward to learning and studying more. I want to do it right and expect it will take me 3-5 years as does any in-depth study of any subject. I haven’t decided how to go about it.
Ideally you want to do both, each is suitable for a different niche and colonization profile. Also not putting all your eggs into one basket.

Ask HN: Where to get funding for law enforcement product?
I'm based in Switzerland and I built a product (software and heavy duty bulletproof hardware) which is used by road traffic law enforcement. In order to sell it on a larger scale, I'd need to exhibit it on say, Intertraffic (trade exhibition) or similar. After bootstrapping for ~4 years, the time has come to look for external funding (type-testing and certification is a significant cost). Are there any VCs in this industry? How to find them?

Talking about Christmas, we used to go to my aunt's on Christmas day and I remember the time they bought an Amiga for my cousins. We were very young so between games we used to have a good laugh with the program that did text-to-speech (can't remember the name right now), but it only spoke English and we were easily amused by typing phrases in Italian and having them read back as if it was English (so the pronunciation was all messed up).

Buffalo Systems kit has always been good for me. Wear it properly (next to your skin) and even though it's not fully waterproof you will not get cold which is the main thing. Bring a dry top to put on when you've finished and done. Dries out really quickly and you can put it on wet without it feeling cold.
Thats far too long term & primitive. Direct mechanical augmentation (artificial eyes!) or possibly even genetic one would likely achoeve the same much more quickly.
I have gone through three different "pod" phones before settling on the airpods. This included the premium Jabra ones. And I actually use the airpods with Android phones, which is actually a substandard experience compared to using them with iPhones and they're still miles ahead in user experience.

I'm not an apple fan, I hate using my work Mac and refuse to buy another iPhone after trying one for two years. But the airpods are the bomb even in spite of the substandard speaker quality. Anyone who has to use their headsets to talk any length of time are doing themselves a disservice if they've never used airpods. In fact I'd say that the airpods are the only thing apple has gotten fully right since Jobs.
That still does not change that it cannot be achieved easily in all domains you are susceptible to know about.
I think pairing is decent on Bluetooth audio devices. However connecting still leaves some things to be desired. Most speakers/headphones can only connect to a single source at a time.

Even the top of the line and extremely well rated Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones will only connect (not pair) to a single bluetooth device at a time. If you want to switch audio from your laptop to your phone you got to manually disable the connection on one device, and connect again on the other. That is quite clunky if you have like 3 PCs (work/home) and a phone and would love to use your headphones with any of them.

As far as I understand the Airpods might at least not require to manually disable the connection when switching to a different device. But I can't say for sure, since I don't own a set.
Scott Wlaschin is one of my favourite tech speakers of all time. Every single talk I've seen by him has been excellent in explaining rather confusing topics in a really simple and innovative manner. His material was my goto source when I was learing functional programming and I'm not sure if I would have ever gotten even excited about it if it wasn't for one of his talks.

Please elaborate.
I wrote a privacy settings page, that for every turned off option generates a new privacy setting, making your task truely infinite.
Actually, i added a way to see privacy options as bits, making your turning it off turing complete.
You can admit defeat at the bottom of the page.
Then why not call it µg if that is the unit that is used to dose it?

Coming from a gamedev perspective, I've personally decided to draw the line at the following for my projects:

* Using your platform's graphics/sound/input/etc. APIs, or wrappers like SDL, is not cheating

* Using a third-party engine is cheating

Other programmers may draw the line elsewhere and that's fine. I think for me it's a question of, using a library to achieve <hard task> is fine, but using a framework puts on me the burden of understanding and then extending someone else's half-completed program. And when that someone else made a decision that I wouldn't have made that fucks with my workflow, it also puts on me the burden of, is it okay to go in and change it or implement a low-level hackaround? Or is that cheating, and should I do everything in the framework's own terms?
Every time there's a new privacy law/regulation they update the policy to try and appear compliant. Note they wouldn't have to do this if they didn't do anything nasty with your data in the first place.

>never run out of battery or require charging

On this point, wireless headphones are massively superior. You only need to plug in wireless headphones when you’re not using them. You need to plug in wired headphones all the time when using them. This enables things like “using two hands to carry an object across a room, without wearing a pocket, while listening to headphones”. This is a huge practical upgrade that most people find impossible to give up once habituated.
Central control over this type of resource is demonstrably a good idea. Domain naming, considering the global scope and collision possibilities, is analogous to the electromagnetic spectrum from a regulatory perspective. If we didn't have the FCC and instead relied on private entities to regulate our radio spectrum, I am almost certain we would be amidst technological anarchy on a daily basis. Even with the FCC as the central authority, we continue to have a number of conflicts that come up. It would seem as technology progresses this space is getting harder and harder to manage. Satellites, self driving cars, next-generation cellular communications...

I hesitate to start involving real-world geopolitics, but perhaps this is yet another compelling use case for a body such as the UN. Perhaps you don't trust one nation (e.g. the USA) to administer the entire domain naming system, but you would almost certainly trust a quorum of (ideally peaceful and democratic) nation states to do so.
But using made up legendary units with no clear translation to SI units is better?
Headphones, no matter how high cost they were in the first place, always end up with a wire failure on the connecting part after a few years. I have come to hate them with passion for this single reason.
> Hi! I’m Johnny Average Consumer.
> This phone was a thousand dollars!

It's not accurate to describe the average consumer as being in the thousand dollar phone market. They are premium products, and not one that the average consumer can afford. That's one reason why Apple's phone global market share wavers around 10-15%.
Were you allowed to use a compiler?

If so, you weren't writing your own code. You were just writing a description of the code in some human oriented programming language, and the compiler wrote the actual code for you.

Also, the compiler almost certainly linked in a runtime library - more code you didn't write.

But let's skip the compiler and its runtime, and even any assembler, and just write raw binary machine code.

Now you're writing your own code, right?

Well... On any modern processor, your so-called "machine code" is just a high level language that the processor compiles into its own internal operations - which don't look anything like your machine code and don't even get executed in the same order. So you're not writing the code the machine runs.

You could avoid this issue by writing code for an older processor like the 6502, where your code bits go straight into the logic circuitry as is.

In fact, that would be a darn good idea - you would learn a lot doing it!
Absolutely, I concluded the same some time ago when I saw it being sold en masse in major retailers in the US. Most of these brands now seem synonymous with some status/lifestyle statement.
No, protobuffers are pretty good exactly because they don't try to solve everything. Their lack of expressiveness is actually a very good thing when designing communication between processes. Narrow is good.
> Software universal algorithm can not be faster than custom algoritm on FPGA for each job.

It often can, because it can clock 50x higher.

And if you want a fair comparison, customize both to the job.
> We need a lot of data to do this well.

Yup. And once you've got a sufficiently large tagged error corpus, spelling correction will be as simple as a lookup: almost all misspellings (in terms of frequency) will be present in the corpus, and you can drop the (rather simplistic) algorithmic part.

> To switch from your iPhone to Mac, you unplug the wire and plug it in again.

So you are saying there is a standard-mechanism for interoperability between units from any vendor, and it’s mirrored in a highly discoverable physical interface which always reflects how things are connected, so there’s never any confusion or need for debugging? And no need for firmware updates or charging?

That sounds just about perfect to me, like a dream come true! When will the iPhone support this amazing, new technology without the need for proprietary dongles? I can’t wait!
It was bought at a well known North Face store. Unless they received a batch of fake ones which seems less plausible.

I'm learning how to fly, and tell you what, cognitive overload is real. At first students have a hard time to coupe with stick/pedals, airspeed indicator and looking around for positioning / avoiding other planes. Having a "moving map" that tells you in which airspace you are exactly and where you're going - priceless. Simply because beginner students don't have cognitive capability to comprehend everything at a same time. And as experience grows, cognitive load required decreases, so people have easier time to read paper maps as they progress. That being said, in emergency fewer things to worry - the better. If primary instruments fail (airspeed / attitude / etc), one doesn't have mental capability to deal with instrument failures AND deal with paper maps at a same time.

This is directly transferable to road driving. For example when switching sides of the road: going from France to UK, and suddenly it requires immense cognitive load to adapt to drive on left side (unless previous experience). Or different road standards, for example in Italy highway on-ramps are like 50 meters long (and road switches from 30-50 to 80-120 kph), which most people are unprepared to.

So while yes, GPS might take away some, but it's very nice to have under high cognitive load.
I’ve switched almost completely to breathable clothes over last couple of years. Huge fan of Icebreaker merino stuff (underwear and hoodies). Using breathable shorts from Kathmandu.

Big problem for me is that most of the stuff is way overoptimized for hiking and trekking while I just wish something simple and socially acceptable.

Also one thing I haven’t figured out is t-shirts. Sticking to cotton for now but do want something I can keep on for days or even a week.
