How do you differentiate between the dreams being detailed and the dreamers simply being convinced of the dreams being detailed? It's certainly my impression that my dreams are extremely visually detailed, to the point that I'm often able to read things in dreams (and remember it later).
That is maybe a good idea! If I were going to do it, I'd start by crawling AllMusic and select portions of Wikipedia. But it's easy enough to do it manually for the use case, "I've run out of stuff to listen to by X, how do I get more?"
Listen to KCRW radio.
Listen to DJs that play the genre of music you like.
Radio is still the best way to disconver new music.
Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 is also another one of my go-to's.

Patent litigation is expensive but you would hardly need a billion-dollar war chest to monetize a portfolio with a successful litigation history. Between contingency fee arrangements and litigation financing, you could essentially print money with little downside risk, albeit with far less upside potential than if you paid sticker price to litigate.
Sending at scale is the problem. A provider like Mailgun (aka an ESP), is a huge target for abuse. Free and low priced tiers are tricky since they need to draw in customers, but then get heavily abused.

tl;dr: Abuse ruins it for everyone.

I work on the filtering side of the world so I see a lot of the challenges that even purportedly good actors face. Each provider does better or worse at controlling abuse. These things all have a cost:

* IPs -- You need to send from a variety of IPs. They have warmup time before they can be safely used. One bad guy can burn that IP and everyone who shares. Most ESPs aren't going to have dedicated IPs for each (or those are for high tiers).

* Dmarc/dkim/spf -- Passing validation can be hard since it requires your client to work with you.

* Abuse reports -- Likely huge volume

* Bounces -- They can count against the customer. How much is OK (e.g. AWS SES will cut you off if your bounce rate gets too high)?

* Throwaway account abuse -- Huge issue, this threshold is a simple hammer (so now bad guys need ~10x more throwaway accounts).

* Account takeover -- That good guy is now sending out crap. Now what?

* Post-abuse cleanup -- Good luck going around and working with major providers to get yourself unblocked. Its a huge time sink.

By using Mailgun, etc all of the above becomes their problem. On top of it they'll offer analytics, help crafting content that works in varying mail clients, etc.

A small business type sender doesn't need much of this (other than maybe the technical help). But at some point, the scales tip.

By and large, it's propaganda.

There is reasonable concern about some kinds of bureaucratic requirements and government-mandated busywork in certain fields, but for the most part, what holds individuals back in our country is the gross inequality in the system, manifesting in a variety of forms.

One of those forms, of course, is regulatory capture, allowing certain industries to maintain high barriers to entry because the people running the governmental agencies tasked with ensuring those industries are being run safely and for the public benefit are mostly former and/or soon-to-be industry executives and lobbyists.

This makes it much easier for the anti-government "look how horrible things are with regulation" rhetoric, when the actual cause is still overwhelming corporate power.
Funny how there's tons of companies in Europe still.

What it actually lacks is the silly money of SV VC.

It's got the entrepreneurs, and it's got the risk taking, it's just not got the massive VCs. So Europeans make different kinds of companies.

It costs £19 to start a business in the UK, and you can do it in 5 minutes online, so again, you're wrong on the causes. If you want to talk about crazy bureacracy just raise the subject of what state/s corp/c corp/state taxes/lawyers fees/craziness you have to do in America.

It's just that the money willing to invest in startups has all congregated in SV.
7 days is too short. In the 2 Lancet studies (the 41 person cohort and the 99 person cohort), the time from diagnosis to the first recorded death is 11 days later, but most happened sometime after that. It's likely safe to say that diagnosis to death is 2-3 weeks.
Short answer: seasonal flu << ncov < SARS.

My mind is also blown by this - although in a different direction. I knew some people have an internal monologue but thought it is reserved for the deepest moments. And I definitely did not think that they might be a majority, as author's own mini-research implies.

I miss rdio so much...

One of rdio's feature I miss the most is their friend view. Not only would you see what friends were currently listening too, but a full history of songs.

If I was in a mood for something knew, I'd look at Joe's feed, because I knew he was always hunting great new indie bands. If I wanted obscure world music, I'd see what Sam had been listening to, and so on.

It was so simple, but worked so well.

These days Spotify just shows me what people are currently listening to. It requires people to make a playlist (and share it) if you want a similar experience.

Google maps used to be fantastic, but in the last year or so it's become so fucking toxic - constantly spamming suggestions and asking questions, even during navigation (in other words, distracting me from driving!).

Google has these sorts of problems too. It fails at correctly parsing examples straight out of the Canada Post Addressing Guidelines. [1]

Put in "10-123 Main St, Montreal QC H3Z 2Y7" into Google Maps and it will take you to "10 Main St, Montreal QC H3Z 5X3" Or, rather, it would if that was a real address. The correct building would be to "123 Main St, Montreal QC H3Z 2Y7".

They won't. I think a lot of these people are skeptical of cloud computing have never worked on a product that serves to millions of users every hour and get smashed during rush hours. To me, "why not just get bunch of bare metal computers" is laughable.
We do a lot of reporting that when. Then the users are unhappy that the data is slightly "stale". It serves some purposes, but not all purposes.

Microservices are only useful when your engineering org is too large and you need to enable the engineering process to scale. If you're at the point where you can't deploy code because the engineering team is stepping on each other, that's the point where microservices come in handy.

But it also requires a heavy investment in dev-ops and on-call issues. Because when one small thing fails, it becomes catastrophic in ways you can't imagine. So there's a huge tradeoff between engineering convenience and actually customer impact and uptime risk.

I remember reading these are called parasitic(?) thoughts, uncontrollable and random thoughts, sometimes leading to more complex reasoning but ultimately almost on autopilot ; like the mind is just suggesting many different things at once and you just happen to notice one of those random thinking when it reaches the surface of your consciousness. I belive it also has to do with an anxious mind but I have nothing to back that up.

Ask HN: Google Drive Backup and Sync on Windows Is Horribly Buggy
The problems are myriad, the worst being on my daughters laptop the fan running at high speed because it maxed out the cpu. Other than that, I ran into about 10 serious bugs in the hour spent just trying to sync my cloud drive and my Google Drive folder on Windows 10. How is it that a trillion dollar company with 100,000 employees can ship such a terrible program. Don't they use it themselves on Windows?
Must be nice to work in a place where a developer has complete influence through the entire process. Every place I've worked has been so large that a single developer can only work on a very minute segment of the code unless they are very senior. I'm guessing the bulk of developers work at large companies and have experiences much closer to mine.

This tool was probably built by several teams of developers working somewhat isolated. Someone built a system that allows for treatments to be suggested for certain ailments, another team did the UI, another testing, then there was probably completely separate team of people in charge of determining what to suggest for as treatments. This treatment team was very likely not staffed by developers at all.

Which of these groups are responsible here? Do I need to be pushing back with every dialog option I create with data from a database? Ask my PO, "what are we going to do to ensure that nobody puts dangerous options in the db?" I'm being serious, if you're blaming the developers for this, then you should make suggestions that are appropriate for the real environment most of us work in; that is: we're often a very small cog in a very large machine with no view of the big picture.
Funny thing about that - the US already spends 150-200% of the military budget on Medicare and Medicaid. So eliminating the military would be nowhere near enough to expand that to the rest of the country...

(The US spends about $2000/yr/person on the military, and $8500/yr/person on entitlements)
If you want to hear a decent long form podcast on the issue I can reccomend ep 31 of popular front podcast.

It has been mentioned by others but it bears repetition. From the curated articles to following different labels/artists, it is an incredible resource. I take comfort also knowing they are artist friendly.
Could also be an optimal routing thing too. If google maps sends everyone down the same path it might become too congested. Especially if the route is a detour around construction or and accident or something.
> But 625 emails per month amounts to around 20 emails per day. If you have 5 customers, then you can send them 4 emails per day. So not much.

That's if you're sending email every day of the week.

If you have 5 customers ... then you can hopefully afford USD$0.80 for 1000 emails / month.
Recently in Australia they have had the Satanic ritual child abuse mass hysteria come around AGAIN.

They are still facing prison after 2 years of investigation.

We know it happens but we rinse and repeat. Watch out there are two shooters! People loot after disasters! Most of the time there's a chemical leak at a school or business. (ie The plane that dumped fuel over a school recently)

Given a day by day counters for the Coronavirus on social media, it'll hit hard. The mass hysteria for the 2019 n-CoV is going to kill a lot more people than the virus itself although you can't slow / stop the Coronavirus without mass hysteria, it's hard to know if it's just collateral damage or an incident in itself.
> Anyone know what happened around 2019-09-01, when all the compile times dipped quite a bit in the graph?

The dip is roughly in the center between 2019-07-01 and 2019-09-01, so I'd say it was somewhere in the start of August.

As the usual suspect for speed improvements nnethercote seems to have gotten no merged PRs in that date range, I suspect it's the impact of pipelined compilation [1]. The PR that enabled it for rust's nightlies [2] was merged on Aug 1 so the date would fit quite well.

Those aren't "clients", they're "moochers".

If they're prepared to walk away because it costs them $35/month to send to their mailing list, you probably owe it to yourself/your business to spend your time seeking new better clients rather than talking them thru how to get stuff/service for less than $35/month... Your business should be "cost sensitive" as well...
It's nice to see it's a common thing. I deal with the same thoughts from time to time and I'm not a violent, angry, depressed, or suicidal person.
That's not how trolling works. Your out of pocket cost for patent prosecution is maybe $20K or $30K per. If you want to litigate, you enter into a contingency or mixed-fee arrangement with a plaintiff firm and possibly also a litigation financier, depending upon the size of your pocketbook and your appetite for risk. Your lawyers build up a war chest by shaking down easy targets until it's big enough that they can lay siege to a big opponent. It's become more difficult to do this than it used to be due to recent developments in patent law, but it's still eminently possible and happens all the time. This is, in fact, how plaintiff litigation works in a number of other civil case types.
Yeah that's not true at all. By 1920 more American were living in cities than rural areas. Please read up on the Industrial boom that took place in the late 19th century in the US. Massive urbanization took place in the 50 year period from 1870 to 1920. This is historical fact.

So no, most US cities were not "built or redesigned after 1920."

My father worked in connection to some of these programs many years ago (long since retired), and his favorite quip was to suggest that a closer inspection of "real" UFOs would reveal a USAF roundel painted on the side. So, naturally, I'm inclined to believe that if any such thing were ever spotted, it would be the result of one of these programs.
And not suspicious.

That's fair... we chose to drop the shading at that zoom, but we could be wrong. I think some people prefer a cleaner read when zoomed in so far (especially for field use), and shading also makes the tiles larger/slower to download.

Gaia GPS does have a separate raster hill-shading layer from ESRI you could layer on top, and we've been considering making our own (we already have an elevation data pipeline and create contour lines, so hill-shading isn't a huge step). Maybe that would have a special UX where you could choose to include it or not in your downloads.

I dig your map style!
The A10 is only viewed as successful today because its very old.

Back in initial production in the Carter years they discovered awful metal fatigue problems in the wings. In the early Reagan years they bolted on braces to toughen up the joint. Still kept failing. Around the turn of the century barely before the GWOT the air force realized the wings were failing so fast they'd run out of replacement wings around 2010, so right after the GWOT started (which is getting to be one human generation ago...) they rushed a contract thru to slap repairs on the existing wings and then replace entirely with new wings. As of late 2010s the wing replacement project (about $2B) and the air force desire to get rid of the A10 were dueling with each other, kinda crazy. AFAIK that battle continues today. With new wings we'll be flying those things into mid century.

There's never been an engineering project that hasn't had teething problems.

Currently, the F35 does not have its wings falling off, the gun mounts merely need beefing up. Thats better than the A10 track record. If thats the worst problem the F35 has, that's pretty good!

There's also a lot of irony in that the A10 has been under seemingly continuous avionics upgrades for its entire life; you could probably build a F-35 with 1970s avionics for an 1970s price.. so unfair to compare a price tag for a 1970s plane that's been infinitely upgraded since, with a 2020s plane and its 2020s price tag. Also the leadership of the air force has been trying to get rid of the A10 for some decades now. Some doctrine insists close air support should be an army helo job, not an air force strategic bomber job.

The problem with the A10 is if you don't expect soviet tanks to pour across Germany there's no point in a giant flying gun. And if you need air launched anti-armor, the army does a better job with human on board helos and the air force does a better job with drone launched missiles. It just doesn't seem to have a point anymore. It can be made to work, and has worked, but the alternatives are a better match. The troops can and have been supported with a A10, but they'd be better and more quickly supported with multiple apache helos or a swarm of existing drone platforms for the same cost and effort.
