> A holder of Dai can earn 4% APY through a Dai Savings Account, and a vote is currently in place to raise the rate to 6%.

Why not just vote to make it a million percent?
Well not quite, it's never really as simple as that.

People with bowel issues for example might actually consume vastly more calories than their peers but not gain as much weight due to their body being less efficient in converting caloric intake into fat. People with a fast metabolism might burn more calories per day at rest than others as well, and some of the complex interactions could involve interactions with caffeine.

If people are gaining weight rapidly it's always a good idea to look at the whole picture rather than just caloric intake because that can mask the true underlying causes.
Eureaka in Mountain View, CA, across from Red Rock Coffee Shop, anyone?
This probably explains the TurboTax ad I saw on YouTube today where the only word spoken was “free,” over and over again.
Because then you'd have to change the interest rate charged to loan holders to a million percent, and those people would close their loans rather than pay that interest rate.
Metabolism is an incredibly complex process influenced by innumerable variables. "Calories in, calories out" is a good maxim for combating fad dieters...but it's not actually true.
Same thing in SF. Owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk, and the city will let you know when you need to repair them.
I don't think they are making up arbitrary rules, I think it's problem solving. Brainstorming alternative solutions that are cost effective and solve the problem is a useful exercise. We shouldn't just blindly use machine learning because it's there.
I used One Medical for a year and quit, because their medical practitioners are low quality in my opinion. Probably why they are cheap. I would book appointments and I would only ever see nurses, and then when needed I would be referred to one of their doctors.

For my shoulder injury they sent me to their sports medicine doctor, who was not only rude and rushed, but told me I was fine just common tightness in shoulder. Was still in pain for a year until what I consider a real doctor correctly diagnosed it as a mild shoulder dislocation. Thanks One Medical SF.

If you have money to spend on healthcare, I would not bother with them.
Even the first iMacs were pretty terrible. It took them a while longer to get OSX stable and ditch the Fischer-Price aesthetic. The G4s (iirc and IMO) were the first ones since the Macintosh that were what you'd call 'professional'.
Teaching you how to get online help inside emacs is the equivalent of "teaching how to fish instead of giving you food"... The idea is that you will know how to find your way in emacs no matter which configuration is present on the system. Of course the book does also show how to do a lot of different navigational and editing things.

The Origin Client is no different than Steam or GOG really.

EA usually give away of put on sale a lot of their DOS / Win 9X library. Also the odd problem I've had with their store (I couldn't activate Crysis Warhead from a legit CD installer I had) It was resolved in about 15 minutes.

EA generally are bad. Don't get me wrong. But it isn't as terrible as many people make out tbh.

Ask HN: Is future more promising with cloud ops or dev role?
I've been doing leetcode for the last 5 months in prep for getting a job at FAANG as a developer.
I've got much better but still struggling with some medium level problems around DP and such.

In the meantime, got an offer from a non-FAANG company (in Fintech) for a lead devops role.
Interviews were long and extensive but didn't focus much on algos and more on the devops/cloud ops knowledge.

Struggle is, should I reject the offer and keep grinding leetcode to get into FAANG, eventually?
Total comp is clearly lower than FAANG-level (still 6-figures though).

Pros:
Lead devops role at a public company sounds very appealing and more promising for the future (devops is generally less competitive and requires more seniority)

Cons:
Interview prep for the last 5 months is thrown out the window.
Lower paycheck than FAANG, could be like 100k lower. But I don't like my current job so desperate for a change
My Fears of Launching a Blog
My understanding was that they aren't profitable because they are sinking every penny into growth. Not because they're selling cars at a loss.
Caffeine is a mild stimulant and appetite suppressant, thereby directly affecting both calories in and calories out.
Interesting research on stock-to-flow:

Well yes, that was more or less a benign example of the community issues in Mordhau. I wasn't too interested in getting into a deep argument on the issues of extremely toxic communities and the various *phobic issues within because that inevitably causes bad faith arguments here sadly.
Yes, it affects the ecosystem.
> a political innovation

if a regime is threatened with removal of a sovereign power (issuance of currency), i'm sure they will forcifully retake that power by outlawing the means of doing so. Bitcoin is of no exception. political problems can only be solved with political tools, not technological tools.
They've shut down entire game modes PACKED full of bots.

Low level ARAM and TT you would often have out of 10 players, 1 = you, 9 = leveling afk bots that run around to prevent auto-kick.
If you're doing dynamic dispatch then there is still code that's living for each specialization. Sort of solves linking because symbols don't have to be generated and compile times because you hand write the code.

To be fair, I'm only considering basic data structures and algorithms where you can get away with something like foo(void *ptr, size_t size). Maybe generics is too broad a term for that.
Back then Apple was focusing on the computer-as-appliance design philosophy. They were computers for people who were too cool to know anything about computers. It took a while for their pendulum to swing back to supplying premium computers instead of toasters.
I work on this technology(not for Samsung), they do not upload the screenshots. They upload a cryptographic hash of the image and match it to known content. Also, this is true of nearly every smart TV available for purchase and quickly being integrated into projectors. If you want to turn off the functionality, you will have to go through the feature sets of the devices.
The company in the Wikipedia article went out of business nearly 200 years ago, so I don't think the legal situation is necessarily the same (backed up by the anecdotal fact that I can send a letter via Fedex). The Wikipedia article also doesn't mention anything about how the government apparently has exclusive access to MY mailbox, which is a big surprise to me.
Depends on the insurance company's contract with the provider. It is generally optional, though they will tell you otherwise. I would still pay it though. I feel like it is a good value and I want to maintain a good relationship the the doctor and their office.
Microcenter does the job here. I do miss heading to frys and just browsing around though :(.
The two times I used One Medical, me and the doctor just ended up googling my symptoms together. Don’t have a lot of confidence in their staff. It’s a nice idea though, although concierge care like this probably pushes health care costs even higher.
You're right, and on top of that, her behavior artificially inflates rental prices (by shifting some of her rental costs to tourists).

In practice, illegal Airbnb's seem somewhat rare, especially compared to the millions of Ikea-furnished semi-professional rat holes that have taken over the platform.

There are tools that landlords can pay for that detect illegal sublets based on location and supposedly photos too.
I wouldn't call it hold your nose but I did run into problems with bad returns getting restocked and what I assume was employee theft in the form of putting bad items in new boxes that weren't marked as returns. (And for which the serial # wouldn't match, that's how I realized what was up.)
This is really moot since MSVCRT is a C runtime lib with MSVCPRT being the the C++ one. Again no stability guarantees are made with any of this.

Microsoft promises backward compatibility but not forward compatibility. There is no promise you can link new code with old DLLs. Just that older binaries will still execute unmodified. Very recently with VS2015 they promised "some" forward compatibility and to make fewer changes.

In practice there were things you could do to increase the chances of this working. But to call this "stable" would render the term meaningless.
False. Caffeine increases calories out, without increasing calories in. Macronutrient ratios, feeding schedules, and compounds such as caffeine affect metabolism, which determines calories out.
Flutter tries to offload as much as possible to the GPU I think. This means the CPU load will likely be lower but GPU usage will likely be higher. Depending on the device the app is running on, this can still make the Flutter application consume more power.

I'd be interested to see the performance comparison taking into account both CPU and GPU usage.
Snow also scatters light a lot, if it's not too dirty. One example I found, it takes about 8 cm (3 inches) of snow to reduce the light irradiance to half.
I find my way to emacs everytime I want to do anything lisp or scheme related, for everything else I use a mix of VS Code and IntelliJ Idea (former for TypeScript, latter for Java). So emacs can be the best IDE for certain languages.

Also, in the same way I have vim key bindings enabled for everything that supports it, a lot of UIs come with emacs bindings out of the box, so it is useful to learn some of them.
This one never ceases to amaze me. The degree of craftsmanship in building this so it would withstand close inspection is off the scale.
A more accurate approach would be monitoring calories in/out AND your insulin level.
According to this reddit thread [0], some important parts of Qt are not Free and Open Source software. That includes the Qt Quick compiler. It's true that some of what's under the 'Qt' umbrella, is available under the permissive 'weak copyleft' LGPL licence.

More generally:

When a library is released under a strong copyleft licence like the GPL, then you are welcome to make use of it, but you are required to release your software under that same licence (i.e. to make it Free and Open Source), if you publicly release it. They do not prohibit you from making money, nor do they single out large corporations for special hostile treatment. Any licence that does, is unlikely to be considered a Free Software licence, or an Open Source licence.

(The AGPL licence goes even further than the GPL, and can apply even if you don't release your software. This is relevant for the software-as-a-service model.)

> Still sticking with cooperative multitasking until 2000. Crazy!

To be fair, sticking with it until 2000 wasn't Apple's intention; they'd expected to bring the new "Copland" Mac OS to market by the end of 1996.

I don't know how well the iMac may have sold at the OP's Best Buy, but my recollection -- and a web search just now seems to back this up -- is that the iMac sold very well pretty quickly after its 1998 introduction. For instance, a NYT article from January 1999 which begins:

"Apple Computer Inc.'s popular iMac desktop computer was the No. 1 selling machine through retail and mail-order channels in the 1998 holiday season, according to the research company PC Data.

"In overall sales, the iMac fell from the top spot in November to No. 3 in December. It is still the top-selling computer since its mid-August introduction and led overall sales in the fourth quarter, PC Data, of Reston, Va., reported."

Switches are quite useful when you have a finite set of options you want to match against.
The Wikipedia entry on prism lighting is... illuminating: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_lighting
whether crypto fans think or believe it to be false (or not care) is irrelevant. Crypto has only shown the characteristics of a speculative commodity (like gold), and the laws of economics are as universal as any other law - bitcoins cannot become a currency unless it is done by fiat (like how china is exploring doing so right now, but with their own version of a crypto-currency where they control the chain).
If you consume more calories than you use/poop, you gain weight.

FTFY

(of course I’m discounting weight gain due to fluid accumulation if you have circulatory problems or ascites)
Sorry guys, Calories in / calories out...

determines whats left in your bloodstream then lots of complex biological processes determine what to do with that and many other chemicals in your body. Some of which are removed naturally.
In a way, you're absolutely right.

In another way, you're totally missing the point.

Net ROI hasn't been great for people who were earning x% interest on their ETH while it tanked 50%+.

But the _idea_ the animates DAI, the dream of a decentralized synthetic digital bearer asset, that's a worthwhile dream imo. It's not a simple idea to understand. And it's not simple to implement technically/socially. But DAI has been a beautiful experiment in attempting to create this new-fangled thing. and while the jury is still out on whether the model/architecture they've chosen will hold up, the experiment itself should, in my view, be declared a massive success - it has, for the most part, worked very well.
And DAI opens the door to new experiments. And they'll come. A trickle at first. but in 10yrs, it'll be an entirely different landscape when it comes to complex financial instruments. They'll be available in the way stocks can be had on Robinhood. and more. bcs financial instruments that are currently too complex or expensive to be practical, will be within reach.
The rabbit hole is deep. and it is real.

> blockchain is most likely a far more interesting technology.

Why? Really, I would like to know why you think this. Append-only data structures have existed almost since the dawn of computing. Making it distributed and trustless doesn't seem to solve any real problems, which is why over a decade since they entered the public consciousness they are used for almost nothing interesting, and nothing that couldn't be done better in a centralised system.
Grief is the point of living. Only when losing something or someone hurts you, you know their true value to yourself.

It wasn’t even close to working as a business. They lost a fortune and had no path to profitability. It almost worked as a way of extracting dumb money from retail investors.

Correct, CMd+F for enterprise and they outline a LOT of information about their sales to larger organizations.
Yes, Adrafinil (prodrug for Modafinil) is more available without prescription, but harder on the liver.

So find a suitable psychiatrist.
i think that's a valid take, but i have the inkling that One Medical is prioritizing making the most common use case (just going in to see a doc for a temporary ailment) as great as possible. likely this is one of those things where you might be better served by another company that's targeting your use case?
That is for approving new treatments, not for ongoing lifesaving care, so is an apples to oranges comparison IMHO.

The drug needs to have a proven benefit, which usually comes down to how much longer does it give you, if it's only marginally better than the existing treatment, but orders of magnitude more expensive they work with the manufacturer to bring the cost down to where it can be approved.

A lot of what was written about the UK system during the ACA debate was outright falshoods or misrepresentations (e.g. the infamous "death panels", whilst ignoring the Kafkaesque nightmare that can be the US system).

Tell you what, I'd take the NHS over what you've got any day of the week, as would the vast majority of people in the UK.
Fuck You, Internet
The Comanche terrain as depicted (I never played the game) reminds me very much of VistaPro, which (as I look it up) came out in 1991. But that wasn't interactive...
there are people who also believe gold will reach $100k an ounce. I don't think that will happen, or if it did, society would've transformed so much that there bears little resemblance to today's world.
I wonder what the correlation is between people who feel threatened by a message and those who nitpick at it.

There's a certain number of people in any crowd who get lost in the weeds, regardless of 'sides'.
What about caffeine and cortisol? Aren't stimulants a proxy for a stress-esque response from the body? Wouldn't that trigger weight gain? Or at least inhibit weight loss?
Active management is expensive. I've seen it for $1800/yr and the rate of followup was still poor. If you want a doctor to take care of you like family the rate seems to be $7500-30000 annually depending on what's wrong with you. Seems like it might be cheaper to hire a healthcare advocate though most of them are more about geriatric and end of life care.
I'm assuming it's the widely debunked "death panel" talk that was doing the rounds during the ACA debate.

We've been using Dart for years on a successful web app, front-end, back-end, and tooling. It's simple to learn. We've had devs experienced in C++ contributing to the codebase in a couple of days without any prior exposure. It's a great general purpose language, and with recent addition of extension methods and NNBD coming soon, it's getting even better. Ecosystem isn't as extensive as JS world, but it's pretty good. (As someone else in this thread stated, I too dislike the required semicolons, but no biggie, and there's an issue to perhaps remove or make them optional, maybe it'll happen eventually)

Give the language tour a quick look: https://dart.dev/guides/language/language-tour

I've been using Dart since the start (~8 years ago), and follow language development very closely.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
The jump bikes in Providence Rhode Island have gotten completely trashed. Gangs of criminals were dismantling them, selling parts, using them in crimes, chucking them in the river, etc.

If anyone's interested in a super-easy way to embed an interactive chessboard on their own page, I very recently made a <chess-board> web component, forked from chessboard.js: https://justinfagnani.github.io/chessboard-element/

You can put a board on a page with one tag:

<chess-board></chess-board>

And set it up via attributes:

<chess-board
draggable-pieces
position="8/R7/8/8/k1K5/8/8/8">
</chess-board>

The element also has methods to make animated moves, set position, clear the board, etc.

I still have a few touch-interaction bugs to fix, so I haven't submitted it to HN myself yet. I hope it's useful to someone!
It’s probably the most popular one, though.

Not sure what to make of this since my gaming machine that I sometimes use for programming has the C:\Windows directory at ~40GB. This has been the case ever since I installed the Win10 Beta somewhere in 2015 (okay, it started at about 25GB but grew pretty quickly, over the course of just a few months). I run both variants of the disk cleaner (user and system) after every update.

Sure the PC is like 9 years old at this point but has seen only a minor amount of external plug-and-play hardware. I can appreciate all this bloat including all drivers for all well-known hardware but damn, that's 40GB still.
This both enlightens and pleases me :-)

That sentence refers to the interpreter as an evaluator for Lisp, where McCarthy had the idea and Steve Russell suggested that it could be implemented - and then also did it. Before, code was manually translated to an actual implementation on the machine. It seems also that it took time to get details and the semantics right - especially the problem of of lexical binding (the FUNARG problem) took more than a decade to fix.
It’s their own distressed asset.
Nice! I just don’t think you fully appreciate how privileged your position is. Giving up car ownership is extremely privileged. You have a good, salaried job, with I’m assuming flexible and encouraging employers. You have enough money for therapy and urban rent (and Blazers tickets!) and enough free time to bike everywhere, and I’m guessing decent health insurance to boot. You also are completely devoid of responsibilities for others. No kids to take to soccer games, no family members of friends in the hospital or who need taking care of. You can afford to fly/hire a driver to travel. I’d venture a guess that most Americans aren’t in a position like this. It’s a lot easier to physically exert yourself to get to work when most of your needs are met. You most likely have an okay boss and at least somewhat enjoyable work. For a lot of people their commute is one of their only times of respite, and it seems they like to drive a car in comfort during that time, it’s why Americans spend so much money on luxury cars (and as a form conspicuous consumption). People of means are quick to forget how important 10 minutes can be when you’re poor and that a car serves as a backup place to sleep and store your effects. It’s not just a dangerous status symbol for everyone.

But back to my main point. I just don’t see Americans as a whole adopting bicycles. Able bodied people will routinely wait in line in for minutes in parking lots to park 100’ closer and wait in line(also for minutes) for the elevator to go up three floors. Not everyone is overweight/obese because they are unmotivated, you obviously aren’t, but I would wager based on my experiences that most Americans aren’t motivated(by much beside sloth), and I don’t see how an elected body is going to change our infrastructure enough to motivate people. AARP is a big lobby, and have 0 interest in cedeing roads or sidewalks to bicyclist.

That's a shame, in the UK we've seen some medical companies do very well by selling to GP surgeries and Primary Care Services (e.g. Egton who provide the online prescription and appointment booking service PatientAccess).
