Do you have an alternative link for hog prices? The graph and prices are blocked by adblock or noscript.

I'm looking at this for hog prices: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lean-hogs - does this reflect the pork prices you are describing about?
It’s interesting that as a corporation one can do things that would otherwise be illegal as an individual. It’s also interesting that governments are willing to use these services which probably are illegal.
Are controlled experiments necessary for proving safety? Intuitively, there shouldn't be a placebo effect, and you could get twice as powerful a study by giving twice as many people the drug and using statistics for the general population as the control group.
Assuming that society decided that encrypted communication was a common good and diligently protected it, something that I support, it's important to consider what this really means and what it doesn't mean. Law enforcement and national security agencies will retain all other means of investigating and tracking threats. It does mean that it's harder for them to casually snoop on everyone for no good reason.
Well to be fair the title is "How I built and shipped my revenue-ready MVP in 4 hours" not "how i built my business in 4 hours". The claim is an MVP. I've seen people raise money with less than this so at least something was built. I've also seen people raise money to hire people to build an MVP which ended up being something built using "low programming tools". At least the poster is making an effort to take some action. I cant speak for how they will iterate etc but many people with an idea never actually even get started.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think the world needs another jobs board but at one point airbnb sold cereal boxes so who am i to judge on what a persons ambitions will look like in 12 months time if they continue to learn and get some feedback. I mean, if they are reading the thread there is a bunch of feedback here they can assess.

Everyone here who is commenting on scaleable systems had to start somewhere, i would bet for many that start was not with something that was at least halfway functional and could accomodate users.
If the company had nothing to feel guilty about they wouldn’t have a problem about their employees talking to the press.
> I'm wondering if and how governments will change the current narrative about "all drugs are bad for you".

Caffeine and alcohol are "drugs". But they aren't drugs. In the same way, I think we'll the label released from accepted substances, while remaining attached to unacceptable ones.
Would be interested in this too. Anecdatally, it seems like Amazon has really picked up among people who don't consider proprietary software to be unethical. G still has a better rep among the FOSS people. Of course my sample size is probably about 30 people, mostly from startups we've worked at together. Hardly representative of the target market for FAANG.

Naw, the law says you acquire citizenship by being born to that country’s citizens.

It doesn’t say “can acquire”, just “acquires”.

Not unlike an American or Canadian born abroad to natural-born Americans or Canadians.
Sad to see the censorship on this website flagging all critical thought. It's a good example of the dangers of censorship pushed by the so called "liberals" who are really just dangerous facists.

> I'd have thought that EU level agencies would at least do some level of due diligence.

I don't think the article made any reference to EU level agencies, though. It seemed to only talk about "European officials", "Western agencies", etc., which could be EU-level or local.
That story is pretty hard to believe. It might be true, but it reads like so much scaremongering and blame deflection.
> The European official said his own unit is so secretive that senior security and government officials in his own country don’t know about the methods and tools they deploy. When evidence gathered by his unit is used in court, efforts are made to hide the true source of the evidence.

The "official" shot their pitch in the leg with this line.

That's not how you use the word "showstopper".
I am not familiar enough with either Yedis or your use case to make a recommendation, but I can say that Pulsar has a great set of features, particularly if you need long term retention, that make it very attractive. I also been impressed with the community and development pace.

Being that the project is a top level Apache project and also has some adoption by quite a few different companies and a number of corporate sponsors the future of the project is pretty safe bet.

You have to have a Google or Facebook account to read this. Ironic.
I don't dispute any of that. I only wanted to head off a possible misconception that the headline might have lead people to believe that losing "one quarter" was going to be hard to recover from. It's definitely bad, but also easy and quick to recover from.
There is this trend of coding questions getting harder. Around '12 2-sum was a question that is on-site worthy, now being the first of leetcode people expects dynamic-programming type problems in on-sites.

One theory is that the employers (especially big companies) just want the top X% of candidate by some arbitrary metric, and assume that top X% has to be capable enough to pick up new skills as needed. As people practice more, the questions get harder.

Then of course we'd mostly likely to never use the knowledge tested in interviews in real life. But hey, the goal is not to test knowledge, but to differentiate the top X from a pool of a thousand.
The concept of "decorum" has historically been used as suppression from above of deviations from the status quo. Particularly to shut up women's movements, branding them as "hysterical" and "bitchy".
I think some of Bobby McFerrin's work might be as close as you're going to get.
Yes absolutely, of course. No-one can deny the outsized political significance of those margins along many dimensions (marginal rural constituencies, the Liberal/Nat/LNP right-wing factions, Alan Jones' grumpy gossiping old men, perpetually outraged about anything done by anyone under 60, the Murdoch press, etc).

I guess my point is that these extreme margins gain their power only because of the nihilism of the skittish 'moderate' Australian majority, which knows enough, and cares little about anything of significance.
He's probably also one of the minority of students who are interested in maths. Most students have very little interest in it.
A close friend worked at a cutting edge solar farm organisation in Victoria and from everything he's told me, these opinions are way off base.

There is legitimate, marginally viable technology honed and perfected in Australia that always remains on the cusp because of endemic favourable treatment for fossil fuel and lack of strong support and willingness to invest.

To argue that the quality of life would be hit by changing govt funding priorities is like arguing against the construction of roads before automobiles were mainstream.

Also the suggestion that Australian research cannot make a difference I find unfathomable. Leave it to the "major players", so China and USA will just give away the technology for free? Why do any research at all, ever, there will always be someone better...
The study seems to be this one:

How Do I Invert This?
https://www.gwern.net/Timing

>Why is their knowledge so useless? Why are success and failure so intertwined in the tech industry? The right moment cannot be known exactly in advance, so attempts to forecast will typically be off by years or worse. For many claims, there is no way to invest in an idea except by going all in and launching a company, resulting in extreme variance in outcomes, even when the idea is good and the forecasts correct about the (eventual) outcome.

>Progress can happen and can be foreseen long before, but the details and exact timing due to bottlenecks are too difficult to get right. Launching too early means failure, but being conservative & launching later is just as bad because regardless of forecasting, a good idea will draw overly-optimistic researchers or entrepreneurs to it like moths to a flame: all get immolated but the one with the dumb luck to kiss the flame at the perfect instant, who then wins everything, at which point everyone can see that the optimal time is past. All major success stories overshadow their long list of predecessors who did the same thing, but got unlucky. So, ideas can be divided into the overly-optimistic & likely doomed, or the fait accompli. On an individual level, ideas are worthless because so many others have them too—‘multiple invention’ is the rule, and not the exception. Progress, then, depends on the ‘unreasonable man’.
Huh. I've been reading about this in the mainstream news for a long time.

While we're here, did you leave tofu off of your proteins list? China is already one of the the fastest growing markets for it.
I tend to agree with grawprog. I think it is powerful in cases like chemo (I had a friend who used MM on chemo and it curbed his nausea like no other drug could). For chronic pain I think it is better than opiates, but I'm not sure that the side-effects out-weigh the benefits. My mother has knee issues and is a MM user, but the marijuana is not helping at all with the root cause (she is severely overweight at 5ft 4in and over 300lb). Mainly I think that I see medical marijuana as being over-prescribed where there are better solutions. I personally don't have any problems with marijuana overall as I am a recreational user.

"In the Plex" was one of my favorite books. Have you read it? If so, did you agree with its analysis? How accurately does it portray Google in 2019?

Thank you for being willing to answer questions!
The rest of the organization, comprised almost entirely of workers, has almost no say in what is written in the "explicit company policy", so I don't see how your point is relevant.
Is it not toxic to allow a company to treat workers in the way that some firms do? Is it not toxic to defer to a corporation's actions over that of citizens? It feels like the word "toxic" is used in this context to whitewash degenerate status quo corporate behavior as acceptable.

Sometimes, any strategy does become appropriate and justified if you haven't yet achieved the changes you want, depending on the issue at hand. At some point, being reasonable may no longer be an effective strategy.
Also of note is having to terminate a single TCP/TLS connection per client vs one for every concurrent client request! Even if you are using a middle man like a CDN doing HTTP 1.1 pooling this is still reducing the established TCP/TLS connections by an order of magnitude or more.

I don't know if this is a good faith question or not. But of course the concern isn't people getting diseases from plants.

Crop yields go down and in some cases the resulting grain becomes poisonous to people or animals which can in some cases cause disease (fungal most often).
They're usually customized by weather/continent/time of the year rather than by specific location.

The closest I've heard of was when the game just came out. There's an item in-game called lures that attract Pokemons to a specific stop. Many restaurant owners were trying to attract customers by consistently buying and applying them, so people could continue to play while eating.

They cost 1$ for like 30 minutes or something like that.
That's an inherent issue with distributed solutions and is impossible to solve. The only way to deal with it is using various techniques like acknowledgements, retries, local storage, idempotency, etc. MSMQ handles that stuff behind the scenes but the problem itself will always exist if there's a network boundary.

These other systems are designed to be remote with a network interface. You can use the client drivers to handle acknowledgements/retries/local-buffering in your own app or use something like Logstash [1], FluentD [2], or Vector [3] for message forwarding if you want a local agent to send to. You might have to wire up several connectors since none of them forward directly to Pulsar today.

Also RabbitMQ is absolute crap. There are better options for every scenario so I advise using something else like Redis, NATS, Kafka, or Pulsar.

ProteinQure - https://proteinqure.com/ | Computational drug design | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Toronto (onsite)
At ProteinQure, we are building a computational platform for the design of protein therapeutics. Our mission is to help to create a world where drugs are engineered, not just discovered. We work on treatments for cancer, diabetes, among others, and partner with industry leaders in drug discovery to generate novel therapeutics outside of the conventional chemical space.

Our technology combines computational biophysical models with statistical and machine learning approaches to enable us to search across vast spaces of protein therapeutics. We build and deploy these computational modules using a scalable cloud computing infrastructure and complement their predictions with results from wet lab experiments. We utilize advanced computing architectures based on high-performance GPUs, TPUs and investigate novel methodologies in biophysical modelling.

We are a seed-stage company and have just recently raised our $4M USD seed round by some of the top Silicon Valley and Canadian investors. We are expanding our 16-person multidisciplinary team.

This an opportunity to be an early technical employee at a deep tech company and grow into leadership roles as we scale.

The game was insanely popular for the few weeks immediately following launch in 2016. It is entirely possible that Clash had more players, but they weren't all outside walking around while looking at their phones in places they'd never visited before.
There is at least one person who does Amazing Grace with a moving "bass" line underneath. Most people just stick to the key note though, which in my mind is cheating since the whole song is basic pentatonic to begin with.

So I definitely agree that the level one might consider a solo song, with melody and changing chord progression and/or oblique harmony, sung by a single person in solo, is rather rare.
All of your suggestions will also cause the prices of animal-based foods to rise. I hope those price increases are substantial.

How is Facebook supposed to determine this? All they know is X was breached by an NSO Group tool.

Nobody presented Facebook with a warrant. Nobody even told them who is doing the breaching. It could be the French or the FBI or the Saudis, or a terrorist cell.

In the case of pain treatment, it seems likely that the psychoactive affects of THC may be a large contributor to its effectiveness. In that it distracts you from the pain.

And there are a lot of people who are going to be more comfortable taking a plant in its natural state, than using an isolated compound that's been through a processing plant they have no control over, and which depends on a regulatory structure they have no faith in to tell them its safe (and what they are expecting).

Basically, there are a lot of people very skeptical of the corporate drug system (for good reasons, frankly), and the availability of natural herbal medicines does (for the most part [aside 1.]) no harm to them, and actually can do quite a bit of good.

If they don't trust aspirin, then let them use willow bark.

1. Obviously there are exceptions to this. There are some herbs that are considerably more dangerous and harmful than the useful compounds isolated from them. But there are also many herbs that are perfectly safe to use, and still effective to one degree or another. In some cases, they are every bit as effective, and even safer, than the isolated, concentrated alternatives (see St John's Wort).
Savvy criminals were also using Strava to nab high end bicycles.
I was performing my own informal tests on various psychoactive agents in the late 60's and early 70's and can attest to the efficacy of psilocybin, as best as I can remember...
Magic mushrooms were the first substance to make me feel like myself after years and years of deep depression.

But I didn't get quite the one hit, life changing state of mind that is often attributed to psychedelics.

One thing that I have read is that the whole life-changing thing requires a transcendental experience - and that participants who failed to reach that echelon didn't experience long term improvement.

I can't really comment on that - because I simply never reached that breakthrough dose.

The biggest issue for me is that magic mushrooms taste kinda bad - it's rather hard to eat enough of them.

Truffles on the other hand, are completely inoffensive - tasting (in some way) like a slightly off nut.

I could quite happily snack on a big-ass bowl of those things, and watch enthralled as the world turned weird.
All beasts will fall someday. This is Google's turn.
Agreed. Imo, psilocybin won't just magically fix a chemical imbalance in your head. But it can open you up (for the duration of its effect) to some thoughts and ideas that could help you resolve your internal issues causing you depression, and those thoughts and realizations are what can help with getting rid of depression, as those realizations can stay with you even after the trip is over.

Which is somewhat similar to what i have read about the ketamine therapy, which essentially just makes certain areas of your brain more neuroplastic for a short duration, helping you get out of your routine thought patterns and help create new neural pathways and reshape the existing ones easier.

Note: I am not a brain researcher myself at all, so what I said could totally be just some pseudoscientific bs, but that's what I got after reading a bunch on both of the topic in a lot of places, including other HN threads. If you want to correct some misunderstandings in my post, please feel free to reply. I will be very happy to correct my misunderstandings.

Recently Intel acquired Habana Labs for $2B [1] and Intel could possibly integrate this into upcoming CPUs (Intel sells more CPUs than iPhone for sure). However, this was on the inference side - unlike Cerebras which is making training faster. The most likely products to benefit from this would be Azure or AWS.

I keep seeing new message queue solutions pop up over the years and it's just been my impression at least that this is one area where silicon valley really is way behind the trading industry.

Reliable pub/sub that supports message rates over 100k/sec (even up to the millions) has been available for a while now and with a great deal of efficiency (eg; the Aeron project). The incredible amount of effort to support complex partitions, extreme fault tolerance (instead of more clever recovery logic), etc. add a lot of overhead. To the point of talking about "low latency" overhead in the order of 5ms instead of microseconds or even nanoseconds as is expected in trading.

Worse, many startups try to adopt these technologies where their message rates are miniscule. To give you some context, even two beefy machines with an older message queue solution like ZeroMQ can tolerate throughput in excess of what most companies produce.

This is not to discredit the authors of Pulsar or Kafka at all... but it's just a concerning trend where easy to use horizontally scalable message queues are being deployed everywhere. Similar to how everyone was running hadoop a few years back even when the data fit in memory.
