That's assuming the five CEOs aren't going to go after the same $1million each. A more talented CEO might be able to bring in new streams of money.

Y'all are bringing up a ton of hypotheticals that don't matter to my main point: Talent costs money. The optimal end result may end up spending a lot of money on that talent to bring in the most amount of money.

This includes hiring an agency to run a fun run (the original scenario) when having it be run by amateurs might end up with it failing for a million reasons (low turnout, insufficient staffing, etc).

Nah, Blade Runner is set in 2019, so it's fine.
but it needs to be a reminder for something you actually want. I've never purchased a coco-cola or any other soda in my entire life and never will, no matter how much they advertise to me.

Now, if they advertised some nice veggies or fresh fruit that could work but how often do you see ads for that? and how much are those veggies going to cost after all that advertisement? will it be cost effective in comparison to the veggies that didn't advertise? (i'm guessing not, otherwise they'd have done it by now, right?)

Ads are targeted at the masses. If most/all your interests deviate from the norm, ads won't be effective.
Not all charities are like this; the against malaria foundation for example seems very cost effective
That says they are starting now, so they are starting with 19H2 (in Release Preview to start, which is still 19H2 by the way, then into the wilds). "Several months" here could mean they want everything done by 20H1 (somewhere between March and May, given the usual pattern). I don't know if that also means that they are planning to move to packing New Edge in the RTW images for 20H1; so far 20H1 on Insiders still seems to have Edge Classic. But the clear thing is that these are clearly parallel rollouts right now.
Ah, found the form... but it was on the landing page that serves no other purpose but to forward people to the iOS or Android sections. So there's no real reason to ever go back to it. Perhaps link the form from the actual listing pages?

It depends on the semantics of fits_long. There are values outside of your min/max range that are representable by 64-bit integers, but if you convert them to a double and back, you may get a different value (off by as much as 4096, since, IIRC, the specification allows any rounding strategy).
Amazon’s Bezos Pledges New $1B India Investment Amid Pushback
I agree, and it's part of the heavyweight interfaces of a lot of these modern tools. For example, search is my primary cursor motion command in Emacs, because it's incredibly lightweight and typically faster than any other cursor move command. Whereas invoking search in many programs from word to IntelliJ will move the cursor and focus away from where you're working to some widget elsewhere, and often requires a confirmation to perform.

Incremental search is finally appearing in some browsers, bringing them into the 70s. But just as software itself has seemingly gotten slower as the machines have sped up, I feel like the interfaces have gotten significantly more cumbersome.

The cellars of my house date back to around 1000, and gradually, the higher you get, the newer the floors are. The roof is C19. The front facade was once removed and replaced, I guess around C18. We still have the sockets and the pipes for gas light, though, of course, they've been superceded by electric wire, three times at least. It's still a pretty good place to live :-)

Enterprises are not supposed to use LTSC/LTSB builds as daily machines; those are intended for critical services and embedded systems. Microsoft keeps saying that in their documentation. Businesses should use the Current Branch for Business and stop shooting themselves so much in the feet with Windows updates.
Maybe. The question isn't "are you using your own cryptography libraries for cryptographic operations." The question is "are you using Windows's native certificate chain validation API, or did you write your own?"

Even if Firefox/Chrome use their own implementations of cryptographic algorithms, there's a decent chance that they are still using Windows's native API for certificate chain validation in order to plug into the enterprise certificate management features that come baked into Windows, which IT teams sometimes use to distribute internal PKI's. Without having seen how Firefox and Chrome deal with their chain building, I can't say "yes" or "no" definitively.
Maybe I'm missing something. I built a website and hand-rolled cms ten years ago leveraging PhP and SQLite that stores and serves the site and certainly allows full CRUD operations.
Most cities these days have regulations limiting the amount of time you can idle (and rental trucks shut the engine down after a certain amount of idling). This of course become annoying if you don't want to drain the battery when using the liftgate...
HGH is a wonder drug, but it's tricky. Not only for the expense factor, but like everything else, when you add exogenous hormones, your body stops producing them.

So if you supplement with HGH for years or even months, your body stops making it and the ability to produce more may take a very long time to come back. It may never come back.

Also, there are many types of tumors that have HGH receptors, and HGH has an even bigger impact on the tumor than it does on the rest of your body. So you're basically supercharging your cancer.
I owe HN community a blog update on this process and I promise I will do that in the coming couple weeks. I've been a bit busy as of late. When I do, I will add it to my profile. It's not quite as simple as what to take, but also when to take, in what combinations and why. And it probably isn't the most scientific process, so I'm sure I will catch some flak for it.

I mean, I think one of the big arguments against a pipeline operator is that you can easily roll your own with

const pipe = (...fxs) => x => fxs.reduce((v, f) => f(v), x);

If you're going to pull in ramda for example, they have their own pipe, and a map function that takes (predicate, array) as curried arguments, to aid with composition
import { map, pipe, range, sum } from 'ramda';

pipe(
range,
map(i => i * i),
sum
)(0, 6)

I haven't messed with HN formatting before, so I hope that turns out right. My team uses Ramda and pipes regularly in our Node code, and its absolutely wonderful
Oooh I love Spaceteam, thanks for the submission. Basically, the way it works is that games are automatically added once an hour if they have no ads or iap and are semi-popular, otherwise if you leave a comment telling me why the IAP they have is fine, they go into a review queue.

I then eventually review the queue and whitelist the games accordingly. Spaceteam should be up in a few minutes, thanks again!

I certainly would not have known about this particular charity without my uncle. However, had he told me it was an important cause to him and simply asked me to join him in donating, I would have.

I guess another question is whether my uncle would have made that effort without the marathon.
Sort of. It's all about whose information it is.

A credit card number is managed/owned/valid within the payment networks. Since they manage it, they get to dictate what means of protection are required in order for you to engage in business on those networks.

Government IDs are usually property of the body which issues them. That means each state can (and IIRC, does) have rules about what you can and cannot use that information for. Therefore you'd have to know the rules for each state or issuing body.

That's not to say that common sense _ought_ to dictate that these things should happen anyway, but who thinks to look up various state government rules on handling a Driver's License?
they need to spam it because retards like you can't fucking understand why it is important, and why Japan, dogs of the USA, are working to make sure no global giants can compete with the USA
Aware of what off label is, thank you, but I think you grossly misunderstand modern medicine if you think a doctor is going to prescribe a drug originally approved to treat cancer because you _hypothesize_ it might have some anti-aging properties.

That's the whole issue with this list: none of these trials are testing the anti-aging hypothesis - it's just mentioning particular pathways -like Wnt (a core development program and implicated in many, many aspects of human health) and saying that the drug would be anti-aging.

As for "unethical" - well, yes, the person would be unethical since they would likely being prescribing a drug for no reason, with no basis, based solely on misguided patient belief. This is more likely to endanger the patient than it is to help. Thus, unethical.
Quick summary of the meaning of Phases in medical trials:

Phase 0: exploration of effectiveness

Phase I: is the treatment safe?

Phase II: does the treatment work?

Phase III: is the treatment better than existing alternatives?

Phase IV: After approval, monitor the long term effects of the treatment.

I don't think that's a problem in their scenario, since the situation is leveraging life extension to work past retirement age. Working until age 80 and living out retirement until 120 would mean a vastly expanded labor pool, unless you're assuming everyone stops having kids.

This is correct. Fintech (and gambling, which I am intimately familiar with) companies are required to keep the submitted KYC documents on file for several years from the last customer interaction/activity.

You can't even delete dud uploads. If a customer is involved in fraud or money laundering investigation, every document they have ever uploaded is evidence. So is the type, time and timing of different uploads: in fact, the uploading of a bad document is itself a valid and potentially valuable data point. Multiple uploads in tight sequence with duds in the mix? Hello...

The submitted KYC documentation is TOXIC. It is essentially an archive to impersonate customers. Hell, I consider the material so dangerous that we built a dedicated protection system to guarantee the fraud potential of our archive would be seriously limited even if the whole archive leaked[0].

VW CEO says carmaker faces same fate as Nokia without urgent reforms
Tempesta Media – Comprehensive content marketing platform
At a previous employer we did a similar training program called True Colors, to understand how to communicate differently based on personality types. It broke down personality styles as follows:

Green - Intellectual; prefers less communication generally

Blue - Emotional; likes small talk and connecting with people

Orange - Spontaneous, life of the party, hates structure/rules

Gold - Analytical, needs order, boundaries and structure, makes lists for everything

Generally you have one dominant color, and some mix of the other three as less important factors in your personality. Most software engineers tend to be Green, HR people are Blue, CEO's are Orange (outgoing, rally people around them) etc.

I actually found it to be tremendously enlightening; I can usually bucket people I know into one of the four colors pretty easily. For example my wife is a Gold; she loves literally creating lists and checking off things when she's done, and she can't stand things being out of order.

Mods, can you add "Go" before Supernova in the title? Supernova is not a verb.
Great, so the advice is, "Take a drug, compounded in a foreign country with different/more lax regulations, for some hypothesized, 100% unproved reason, without a doctor monitoring it."

Good luck.

Ask HN: How to maximize doing the most “good” for the world?
This question has been on my mind lately. Perhaps it's a little elementary; "good" can mean so many things and quite often doing a bit of good can have unintended negative consequences (e.g. going vegetarian is probably better for the planet but I have also read that veg agriculture can require just as much water as animals).

I'm interested in how this crowd approaches this question, if at all. What are the things you do on a day to day basis that positively contribute to the world?

Some small scale ideas I have/implement myself: not eating meat, likely not going to have children, use public transit, help anyone I encounter who could use it. It doesn't feel like enough though. What else is there?
Firefox is not effected
it really can be. It can be as vigorous as a walk down the street which is tremendously beneficial to your health. I know we've been conditioned to believe that excercise needs to be something specific like running or swimming, or tennis, etc. But, you just need to move your body. even gardening can be beneficial - the benefits of squating down are vastly underestimated.
That and the app (or most likely a cloud service) will have insane access level to all sensitive data. Which can be scary.

> Flaws are subjective depending on how a product doesn't match your needs. What would a company consider a flaw?

That's one part of the issue. A company's product might be the best product for some people's needs, but there might be another product that fits the needs of some market segment better. But the company doesn't care if their product is the best for that segment: a sale is a sale. They'll advertise the strong points of the product, ignoring the properties of the product which might make it unsuitable for some consumers. This doesn't benefit consumers.

This might all seem obvious, but there are people on this thread who think advertising benefits consumers.

> What would a company consider a flaw? The product is released as designed, with no obvious issues.

This is really, really not true, and I am not entirely sure you are making a good faith argument here. I work hard at my job, but I've never released a product that didn't have bugs and tradeoffs.

> Again, the knowledge is them telling you about the product. They don't make you do anything other than provide information. You're entirely in control of your decisions.

Your decisions are only as good as the information you have, and advertising deliberately gives you wrong or incomplete information.
What makes sense to do personally is very different from what makes sense to research as a medical device or drug candidate. If a therapy has a 10% chance of extending lifespan by ten years, it's marginal for any particular person (given the current evidence), but a great candidate for a clinical trial.

> Automation is an ideal, but not a necessity

You're just bad. You automate specifically to take the human error risk out of the equation, that's a part of what it means to be competent. We don't automate our deploys because it's an ideal that is not a necessity, but so some jackass doesn't delete a configuration while also never putting it into a backup, or source control, or on their dev machine, ad nauseum.

It's not an accident that some of us have been working 20+ years in this industry and have never been the cause of something like this.

> Automation is not an answer that can always be applied trivially; especially retroactively. Even despite all the marketing that will tell you otherwise.

> "so what was the first ERP implementation you got fired for?"

At my last job we underwent a transition from one ERP to another. Halfway through it my boss resigned and we got somebody new, mostly on the basis of his experience doing the same at another company. I heard a rumor later that this other company had nearly gone bankrupt because of the roughness of their transition. Things weren't looking good for ours either when I left.

They talk about it in the movie "Midway" (2019). It's definitely one of those things a lot of people thought was embellished to make the incoming battle of Midway look more drastic. However it was absolutely true. Without the dive bombers and code breaking they were able to do in the lead up Midway would have been a disaster for the Americans.
That standard never seems to be applied in the other direction, oddly enough. Climate deniers pull a Gish Gallop of trivially debunked claims (far beyond a mere "we got the timeline a little wrong"), and still somehow manage to demand to be taken seriously.

about six years ago my son let a campaign to turn back the attempt to introduce iPads to the school (they'd been piloted in grade 9 and were to be introduced high school wide the following year). A surprising number of the 9th graders said it was a waste and many kids didn't want them (they already had phone to get whatever distraction they wanted).

The principal finally took him aside and said "I'm not going to discuss your points. The fact is if we don't adopt them the parents will complain and enrolment (in that private school) will drop as we appear to be behind the times."

Years before I was on the school board and the parents were the biggest problem. For example there was a panic that "technology" must be added to the curriculum (apparently the inclined plane or pulley weren't considered "technology"). The pushback came from the engineers and computer programmers on the school board, and the computing teachers at the high school level. But time was taken from something else and all the 2-6 grade kids learned to use Powerpoint and Word which essentially none of them (now all college age) have used in years.
