Something I've loved to prevent games from getting too clinical is when custom/modded maps are popular. It's fun when you're in a match on a custom map and gametype that no one has seen before and everyone is on a level playing field of trying to figure it out as they go. Halo has been one of my long-time favorites for enabling this sort of thing.
Well, caffeine isn’t a “free” or “magical” solution to weight loss and it’s obvious that most stimulants prevent weight gain because they activate the fight-or-flight response by stimulating the SNS, which depresses the feed-and-breed response that is activated with the SNS is calm. Thus, you can lose weight with stimulants (nicotine, caffeine, ephedra and so on), but you’ll be stressed, have higher blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol levels and not be thinking as clearly. Fasting or putting the fork down sooner maybe a better strategy than looking for a “magic” ligand to let people eat as much as they want. T

I'm so confused. Not like I'm a doctor, but doesn't the foundational assumption seem fatally flawed? How can you reduce drug efficacy to a single number? It's one thing to compare brands of the same drug, but why in the world are aspirin and acetaminophen (or whatever) just viewed like interchangeable substitutes here? I know I certainly don't reach for the strongest painkiller—but rather the weakest one that might do the job. And I know my doctors certainly never viewed these painkillers as interchangeable. Don't the natures of the effects and side effects actually matter to people?
Right, because there aren't a million people living there; that's why I specified peninsula/south bay, bay area.

I would probably not use One Medical if I was still living in central FL, where I never encountered these problems.
Having read a lot about VS Naipaul, and about his sometimes cantankerous nature, I am touched to see how attached he became to his cat.

It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised by someone.

I've noticed from personal experience that it's often easier to grieve for animals than for our own relatives.

The loss of my grandmother overwhelmed me so much that it could have passed for indifference.

The organs of grief seemed to have been seared away, like I had stared at the sun.

On the other hand I've wept over the loss of some of my pets.

Coincidentally, shortly after the loss of my grandmother, I was sick for three years with all sorts of undiagnosable problems.

It was only after I started feeling physically better that I recognized the depth of my grief. It felt like I might have followed her into the grave if I hadn't pulled out of it in time.
Except that the data logged isn't just "mouse moved x,y to x,y" but more like 'hid frame was X'. And empty hid frames are still hid frames.

Bitcoin at this point will never become "legitimately popular". It's had about as long as Uber, and it has only grown less relevant to people's lives for the last few years. M-Pesa, which only operates in a few countries, has something like 100x the transaction volume.

Further, the downsides to the rise of ridesharing were very modest for governments. Increased congestion, regulatory uncertainty, and the eventual need for new laws and regulations. But governments have a very strong interest in preventing money laundering because a) tax evasion means less money for the government, and b) serious, sustained crime requires money laundering to survive.

So even if Bitcoin were to become more popular, governments would still crack down on it, and people would happily go back to using things like Visa, Paypal, Venmo, etc.
I think the big one right now is dodging skillshots, or having the cheat make skillshots for you.
Possibly. Could simply be sloppy interaction design. There’s a lot of room to project intention on ‘minimal’.

I don't know what OW does behind the scenes. But you and I as "OW investigators" only get to see ~eight rounds of gameplay with no rewind button and make a "beyond reasonable doubt? Yes/No" decision.

I stand by what I said - OW is to catch obvious cheaters, not people who cheat subtly.

Overwatch only applies to Valve MM (which is 64 tick); community servers and non-MM game modes are not subject to OW.
The problem with supervisors was just an example. The person asking the question isn't served by simplifying the problem, because clearly they are after a more general solution.

Agreed. Sadly the latency on eInk is still way too high. Smooth animations, scrolling and transitions are a large part of what makes touch screen based smart phones so easy to use and compelling. There are, perhaps, alternatives to the design patterns used for touch screens, but the light phone does not really do much in this area.

it’s too subtle for HN. i’ve found myself too often on the wrong side of this as well. i’ve learned to just take the downvotes in stride.

your rebuttal OTOH is overboard, deserving of the downvotes IMHO. sometimes you just have to make your point and take your licks.
There's advice not to tie your children's chores to their allowance, because at some point they may decide that they have enough money and rationalize that they don't need to do chores.

Chores are about responsibility and being a contributing part of the family. Not about drawing a salary. I suspect those people would give the same advice for education.
Smart people don’t necessarily feel joy or a rush when solving a problem. They can also often be poor learners having been able to rest on their intellect and not learning how to study during the early years of school.

I highly disagree that this list is merely a proxy for intelligence.

As a finance professional, I can tell you without shame that much of my industry doesn't understand finance either. The mask of online anonymity simply emboldens people with no knowledge to come forth and spout. I keep moving platforms trying to get away from that shit. Reddit is horrible in this regard, so I only use it for memes. HN has full credibility professionals in programming, but its finance base is really not upto snuff.
That hurt to read.
Veteran Sonarman Explains Why Pump-Jets Are Superior to Props on Modern Subs
"a solution looking for a problem" my fave descriptive phrase :-)
I really don't understand your comment.

1. Supervisors are already by definition "superior" than their subordinates.

2. Supervisors on factories already wear distinctive clothing - especially in fully automated factories.

Finally, you have yet to propose a solution to the problem yourself that would be highly accurate and easy to train. You vastly underestimate the difficulty to create a bespoke solution from scratch and no data.

In any case since the supervisor thing was just an example - the original poster's only real choice is to manually label everything, but AI is really problem centric so it's hard to recommend anything without knowing the actual problem. Assuming it really is just [someone in an area for a period of time] kind of problem, and the difficulty is picking apart the 'someone' and you cannot influence their behavior, you just need massive amounts of data. Even then there's no guarantee you'll have high accuracy.

If high accuracy is required the problem itself needs to be examined on a higher level.
> I don't agree that phone numbers are good for onboarding: sending the first message to somebody on whatsapp requires asking for the phone number. Sending the first email requires asking for the email. Sending the first Skype message requires asking for the username. Not much different.

The argument for phone numbers is that you probably already have the phone numbers for your contacts, and not their Skype username if you've never contacted them on Skype before. It allows easy transition of contacts from the unencrypted phone network to encrypted messaging.

But it's still not clear what the issue is with at least having the option to use an email address instead of a phone number, which you also might already have in your contacts before the first time you communicate with them using a new messaging app.

Correct, it's not uncommon to have one engineer full time on an internal Splunk infrastructure at a mediumish org. Not everything has to be Cloud. This is what people are paid to do.
Learning isn’t really something that the provider can force on the student. Learning is like weight loss-there isn’t a trivial one-size-fits-all solution, and it requires a ton of work that no one else can do for you.

Tests and lectures aren’t outdated, nor even particularly ineffective compared to anything else. I don’t know when it became popular to hate the way school is run, but it usually traces back to the mistaken belief that school should predict professional performance (which is not now—nor ever was—the primary purpose of school).

In both cases, my work with Ed tech has convinced me that the key problems are _social_, not technical.
No. I and 98% of the world just want to make calls, not start a project.

I agree that smart boards are a joke. They suck down scarce dollars and add de minimis educational value. Then they break and become really really expensive whiteboards.
For context, I don't think anyone is suggesting that BTC's blocks would still be full if they were 100 times bigger, so it is premature to talk about competing with credit card processors.

However, 250 GB is approximately 25 GB per year (since Bitcoin started in 2009), which, if you multiply it by 100, is 2.5 TB per year. That means it will take about 6.4 years to fill a 16 TB hard drive, which should cost less than $600:

It's not hard to imagine someone paying under $100 per year to run a full node, whereas on the day that TechRadar article was published, the average price of a bitcoin transaction was $4.58 as seen here:

I remember Fry’s original, non-tech retail store at Camden & Kooser in San Jose before they opened the first Fry’s Electronics in Sunnyvale.

Also, in high school, I worked at Egghead Software which was killed off by CompUSA, NCA Peripherals, MicroCenter and other large retailers, most of which have been since killed off by online retailers.

For the past 15+ years, I’ve used pricewatch.com to shop for computer parts because they tend to scrape more sites than Google Shopping does.

Fry’s Electronics anecdote from 1996:

So Fry’s Electronics used to buy full-page ads in the San Jose Mercury News where they would advertise their sales and loss-leaders. In red, 192 point font, Fry’s advertised the launch of OS/2 4 “WRAP [sic]” on three (3) separate lines. Ooof IBM.

>Vision, goals, key results, what we are allowed to do and not do, are clear. Likely written down, understood, repeated frequently, taught to new members of a team.

On the nose.

Amazed by how many leaders that I've worked under that can't seem to set direction. That's all - communicate what's important, what's going to make the company differentiate itself, and then allow the smart folks you have hired to set their priorities accordingly, execute, and then adjust where needed (but sparingly).

This wouldn't work as there is a time requirement of 20 minutes. A solution to this would have to be real-time and not require one to manually log their presence, which would defeat the whole point.
Honestly, I just briefly skimmed the list. I thought OLPC was too low and there was some politics thrown in there at the top... anyway...

Personally, the greatest ed-tech was when my parents bought me a C-128 which came with thick manuals, one of which was a Commodore BASIC programming manual.

IMHO, education is throwing a wide and open experience to a kid and guiding and helping them learn to learn. Everyone is different in what they like and enjoy, and that's a very good thing.
Used to be an Allstate Electronics in the Chicago suburbs. Fond memories of that store.

Fry’s was in a tough position. Expand, or risk leaving not just money on the table, but being swamped by expansion of others. In the short term it was a good move for them, but they became Best Buy (the failing version).

They are at a crossroads. Give. Best Buy’s apparent comeback (I am surprised that I like shopping there now, after detesting it for so long) signals that Fry’s could do it. But Fry’s themselves seems to be denying it. They need to aggressive make signs of life. Close half the stores for chrissake.

I’ve actually had 2 “once removed“ encounters with Randy Fry.

1. almost bought the house next door to his in Los Gatos.

2. DMV guy asked if I knew him. I don’t remember why exactly ... it was either that i’d bought the same car or he recognized my address as being near to his house. apparently Randy had just been in the DMV (I guess he doesn’t have people) and the DMV guy remembered him due to his local prominence. Turns out, as the DMV clerk told me, his real name is not Randy. For privacy reasons I guess I’ll not share it.
A C+ is a reasonable thing to ask about.
Suggestion: tell me up front the minimized size and minimized + gzipped size. Otherwise looks pretty good, so the size decides whether it’s lightweight enough for certain projects.
I find Stackdriver ugly compared to SumoLogic or Datadog. Also it has ingestion limits, we're losing logs when load becomes considerable.
> Dilution / inflation is a feature not a bug.

This is not true. We have simply adopted a system where it is a feature. We did not have steady enforced inflation until the 1950s. There are entire schools of economics that believe the concept of controlled inflation should be relegated to the past, and replaced with market ruled inflation / deflation.

I'm not saying I understand how such a fictional world will work (and I am a finance professional so I understand this very well already), but people always saying "inflation is necessary" are people with no imagination who don't look at history.

Greenspan thought we'd solved the problem when he realised he could just keep lowering interest rates and growth will keep on happening. Turns out Bretton Woods withdrawal and the stagflation of late 70s gave enough cushion for him to test his hare brained schemes on the world and lead to the explosion of growth that came afterward. And then 2008 happened. Turns out Mr.Yes-Market was wrong all along.
Thank you! I needed this!

EDIT: ok, no.
For cost, stackdriver works the best. Idk if they have a custom agent but Fluentd works great to ship logs to your platform of choice.

AWS cloudwatch is also good for cost but has much slower query speeds (the slowness makes me think it's not Lucene based?).

If you could splurge on hosted services, my favorite logging goes to datadog and it has all the other bits of observability built in for down the road.

https://landscape.cncf.io/ is usually my go-to if you wanna find best-in-class solutions to host yourself.
Does a hacker newsish platform exist for the finance world?
Seems plausible enough to me.

The academic job market is absolutely brutal. Ever more administrators are being hired, and (in some disciplines anyway) fewer and fewer tenure-track professors.

As a result, there are tons of experts, with traditional academic training in spades, who are eager to work in their domain of expertise, and who might be well inclined to engage in some "disruption".

So the guy claiming to be a victim of the under earning disease is going to take time off to go to one of the most expensive vacation countries in Central America??!? And for only three days?!?

I think there are people that self sabotage but IMHO most are also suffering from another issue which is over spending and not living within their means. I see all sorts of people living "Ghetto Fabulous" lifestyles, wearing designer clothes, eating out five nights a week, buying lotto tickets, always having the best of everything but having to borrow money to pay the rent or keep the lights on.

I don't feel right about victim blaming but I'm so sick of everyone making excuses for squandering their lives and expecting the world to take care of them.

Waste not want not should be the mantra at these UA meetings.

> the laws of economics are as universal as any other law

No they are not.

Can people please stop and think for a second before they vomit everything on their minds onto the keyboard and hit enter as fast as they possibly can in an attempt to make themselves heard in the noise?

See what that looks like? Think about these things before you write them. Physical laws are immutable. If they not, they aren't a law. Economics is entire a human endeavour. The laws are what we want them to be.

Now I'm not justifying anything crypto related with that statement. I'm just saying you need to think before you type.

This is an opinion piece by a novelist. It's a bit over the top and sensationalist.

A country of 25 million cannot affect global climate. They can of course affect things locally, but cannot affect global climate. They export coal, yes, but we all use hydrocarbons and it's hypocritical to pin that on Australia. They could cease all coal production and go 100% renewable and it would affect their climate virtually nothing.

That said mr Morrison could learn a thing or two about politicking and be more empathetic.
I have a different view of the 2020s. We don't need more tokens or programmable technology. Money is the dominant use case for crypto. We still haven't figured out how to make crypto money that people can use beyond speculation. Notable projects will be around money use cases. Currently, we see Bitcoin, Tether, and stablecoins. In the 2020s, there will be more coins that people can use as money. We'll spend the next decade searching for them.

Tech-focused projects, like Ethereum 2, Algorand, won't be successful. Decentralized coins, Libra, corporate coins, government coins will be.

For decentralized coins, I think the market needs to find a way to incorporate inflationary economics into the system. Bitcoin needs an inflating parallel blockchain. It's all about money. I put my focus there.
