I am reading this post on my laptop, in bed. In my grand parent's house.

There's a bedside lamp next to the bed and the bulb is at least 30 years old. Two generation of children have used that bedside lamp to read stuff at night or walk to the bathroom.

Meanwhile my LED - whatever the brand - are failing between 6 months and two years.

Big difference between money sourced from individual donors and money sourced from an individual. In the former case, money represents the collective will of a group of supporters. In the latter, it represents the will of one rich guy. That's not democracy.

Thanks for this honest answer.
Bloomberg is showing everyone how to beat Trump at his own game. Let's hope they learn in time.
It's a good reason for the author of the language, and for anyone who's interested in designing programming languages. However, I often wonder why people in the industry promote it as a great choice for developers who are looking for a "Haskell for frontend", instead of recommending GHCJS. I do understand why Elm is recommended instead of Haskell for simplicity reasons, but PureScript is neither simpler nor (presumably, if I'm not missing something) conceptually more valuable (i.e. bringing refreshingly new ideas) than GHC Haskell.
For general technical and commercial background of the area I would recommend Library Genesis with a wide range of related search terms, including to be exhaustive those in other major languages. You can seed the search query set from relevant Wikipedia topics, book publishing information page listed keywords, dewey decimal categories, or other mature collaborative semantic databases. Using these established semantic databases helps to ensure you don't miss category specific jargon thus undermining your results.

However, arguably the most important element of hardware products from a research perspective is the marketplace state with respect to competition and demand patterns. For this area, I recommend: (1) https://patents.google.com/ (relevant results of which can also be used to seed/re-seed keywords for the above). The amount of information people put in patents is ridiculous, you can shortcut a lot of wasted effort by learning from their mistakes. (2) Existing consumer product databases such as eBay, Amazon, or Etsy. (3) Searching Taobao in Chinese for both the product category (machine translate adequate) and the major functional components. This reveals a true state of costs and supply chain outside of any tightly held specialist manufacturing lines, which is often deeply informative with respect to product design decisions and explaining marketplace state. (4) Researching specific competitors: funding, timeline, team, location, announced marketing and business strategy. Job ads will also give you huge insight in to their skill gaps and technical stack / strategy. (5) Using google trends to identify search volume changes over time within your target market(s).

Hope that helps.

Thanks! Yeah, if the whole industry ended up working the way we do, we'd be thrilled.

To your question:
Premium: Our model has granular rating for high risk areas (fire is the biggest issue there). And part of that is the defensibility of the specific property for sure. But unfortunately the biggest factors there are all location specific - distance to water, slope, ease of access, distance to burnable area, etc, which not much can be done about. This is why although it is hard, communities investing in collective defense has the biggest impact on insurance prices.

On claims: We have reinsurance, so no need to fear us being blown out capital-wise. To actually get the claims paid and work done we (like most others) have contracts with emergency-overflow claims administration teams, so that a force is ready at peak times.
Actually, that's a common misconception. If you're calling a function with a partial argument, it's called "partial application." If you're turning a multi-arg function into a single-arg function that returns another single-arg function, it's currying. Currying doesn't apply a function, it just transforms it.

Sean, it's against the guidelines but as you have experienced, so have I.

There is absolutely nothing socialistic about any of the campaigns in the running. You're just creating a straw man.

Accruing capital almost never has anything to do with hard work or laziness. It's a lot of luck. What family you were born into, what area of the world, if you had parents growing up etc. You could be the laziest POS and have more money than you could spend in a lifetime.

Tax-funded education and healthcare is necessary to offset some of the insane luck a trust fund kid has vs kid with a single mother with debt and no inheritance in sight. So everyone can have a fair shot at participating in capitalism. Nothing remotely socialistic about it.
I would consider market forces a more reasonable explanation: most people are going to pick the cheapest option. The success of cheap, flickering bulbs attests to that, I think.

It doesn't help that the old Edison screw is terrible for cooling.
> Taxpayer money spent on a brazenly partisan political campaign.

I will take 200 sticker campaigns over what the Canadian Federal Liberals are doing with their "journalism initiative". That initiative is $600 million being given openly to news agencies who agree with the Canadian Liberals or are approved by a body composed largely of Liberal and Liberal-friendly decision makers. This is a solid step towards the rise of populism in Canada as it legitimizes every single claim of media bias and calls of "fake news".

By comparison, stickers are just a waste of money, but they don't threaten the very core of the country.
I preferred to call it "Squeal Server."
It's not a dataset, remember, they don't want this information out there.
In all seriousness, what is the difference between a fake priest and a "real" priest? Do you really need a degree to make up facts? Is Mark Twain a fake writer because he didn't finish college?
I'm not saying it's a 1 to 1 correlation between dollars spent and winning just that without being able to spend piles of money a lot of people who've gone from Biden to him wouldn't have heard much about him and that his large spending is artificially increasing his numbers in polls above where'd they be if he didn't have the funds to spam states later in the primary cycle.

No 'low information' is just that people who don't, either through apathy, time or lack of interest, seek out or read that much about the various campaigns. Tons of smart people are low information.

Also your vote might not literally be for sale but it's definitely influenced by the amount of media and information you see about campaigns which is correlated with money. Consider the degenerate case of a campaign with nearly zero money but a perfect fit with your politics. Can't vote for it if you haven't heard of it.
What I am saying is that billionaires get rewarded disproportionately more than their actual contribution. They also get listened to way more than they deserve.
Yeah, its a pity it doesn't have the ability to do anything more than alter table statements that add to a schema, having to rename the table, create a new schema and copy its contents from the old table can be quite a tricky and troublesome thing to do if you've got a live system running with users on it.

Ow that's really a good job out there. There are many smart students whom didn't get the opportunity to show off their talents.
Arguably testosterone can lead to stupid decisions.
I learned to code from scratch using freeCodeCamp.org, tutorials and official documentation. Got a good job after 8 months studying full-time. Almost 3 years now and everything is good (more details on my experience here: https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io).

As a totally outsider (not even from the US), Lambda School seemed too good to be true, in a good way, and I said so here in HN. 9 months of serious commitment, no upfront payment, ISA, all of it seemed good to me.

These days, I don't think the same way. Lambda School and it's founder seem more worried about being a billion dollar company than doing the right thing for its students. Personally, that's strategically stupid and counter-productive. They won't be a billion dollar company because they don't care about their students. But it looks like the direction they took. This mistake is not inherent to VC ventured companies or Silicon Valley, so I think the ones to blame are Lambda leaders, not the system.

So, I still recommend freeCodeCamp.org as the best thing that exists for people that want to learn to code and get a job. I wish some of these effective philanthropy multi millionaire would give them generous money to pursue their mission.

It changed my life.
Yes, that’s at BFI. Before production was halted, Boeing kept building planes for months and months. They’ve stuck MAXes all over the Pacific Northwest in what feels like any available space connected to a runway.
Red-eyes are tough though it's not too bad in international business. I'm usually operating at about half speed when I overnight to continental Europe from the US East Coast.

On the other hand, flying cross-country on an early morning flight to SFO, I can pretty much be ready for a regular day when I land.
"Please dont talk about politics on hackernews"

Channeling the site operators a bit for you. Remember that politics is things like "who should win or lose in society?" and "who is even human and deserves civil rights, or the right to vote?"

Honestly it always seemed obvious to me that any hacker would see that "civil rights should belong to everyone" and "we should all strive to everyone can win" as not only tautologies but basic moral prerogatives. But I am so so sad to learn here on HN that may not be so. Either that or there is a ton of non-hackers here.
The developer of that site could have exhibited more Laziness and Hubris. Not sure I see a need for JavaScript there.

Also, the virtue of Impatience seems to be at odds with the principle of YAGNI.

This is the allure of libertarianism - since a free democracy can't predict the quality of its leaders, representatives, and lobbyists, the government should be given as short a leash as possible to prevent things like a "truly scary authoritarian police state".
I am not even thinking it should be clandestine. You could literally set up kiosks outside of voting areas and as people come out, and they show you their ballet stub, you give them a gift card.

The volume of young people,minorities and poor who would vote for a little cash is enough to push the ballot towards the Democrat. Its not prejudice, just a fact that there are more people who lean left than right, but most of them do not vote.If they did, the entire landscape of Washington would change and in states like Kentucky it would shift the entire balance of power.
Apparently this is more common than you expect. A company I worked for initiated an overhaul of our IT security because the FBI turned up in the CEOs office and basically said "Now we've warned you, shareholders can sue you if you don't act on this". Or atleasts thats the story everyone in the company were told. It seems plausible, because I can't see any other reason why the CEO would deliberately set fire to the entire development team for no reason.

Exactly... but even then, how do you run the test cases?

Download them and run them from PyCharm?

I just don't like HackerRank.

Let me rephrase that.

As I grow in my role, I see writing the type of code that can be tested on HackerRank less and less, so investing time in learning how HackerRank works is absolutely not on my radar.

... and getting a HackerRank solution in within that ticking timer absolutely requires me to be comfortable with the HackerRank UI.

So stalemate there.

It is nearly impossible to overestimate the stupidity of the average person.

They don't know or care about tax policy, what deductions apply when, how rates are calculated, none of it. They will only notice that they paid less this year than normal, and that will make them happy.
This is even more basic than that, though. This is about the proper-functioning of a system. I think we can all agree that our democratic system is important and that individuals who undermine it for their own gain are doing something morally wrong. That's not a partisan issue (though somehow, in our current Congress, it has managed to become one).
No idea what the GP means by marginal crop land, but yes, people tend to grow cattle on land that isn't very good for crop, for one reason or another (the most common reasons being a rocky terrain or a non-plane surface, poor soil is usually not such a reason as soil is always fixed anyway).

> My understanding is that rainforests take up so many nutrients that the soil is actually very poor and unsuitable for most kinds of agriculture.

That's a characteristic of the Amazon forest specifically (and not even all of it). The soil is poor because it's an old land with a lot of raining, that carries the nutrients away, it's not a fault of the forest. Other rain forests have different characteristics.
> I did not ask "how", I wished to know who supports a DNS service like that and for what price.

And as I stated in the very first sentence, it is self-serve:

> If you own example.com, you can delegate to dnsauth.example.com for $0 (or simply the price of a Internet-facing machine that has DNS open).

We do this at work: our main registrar does not have a restricted API, so we have a sub-domain that lives on a DNS server in our DMZ. Internal ACME clients update the desired TXT records when asking LE for a cert.

The cost is the price for keeping a VM running and updated, which for us is minimal since it is on our private cloud.
My focus is on hiring marketplaces, and ensuring equal opportunity is one of the most important challenges in building an efficient marketplace.

I am also a strong believer that diversity is the bridge to equal opportunity.

No, didn't know about it. Interesting!
My dad once told me he got upgraded to the Concorde on NY-LHR once. Aside from having the experience, he said it wasn't really a win. As he put it, with the regular first class, he got a nice meal on the plane and got into London in time for bed. With the Concorde, he got in in time for rush hour and had to immediately go out to dinner.
Which side of the debate was he on personally?
I met him at a meetup I went to out in SF while traveling for work. I didn't know anyone there, just going to kill time. I had no idea who he was just someone willing to chat with me for an hour or so. I started asking him what he did, and it was clear he wasn't there to talk about himself. Just struck me as a really cool, really humble, really approachable guy. With a lot of good ideas, and a passion for spreading curiosity. World needs more people like this, not less.

People routinely watch movies which refresh at 24Hz and motion is apparently continuous.

Perceiving flicker has a higher threshold. I can perceive 60Hz flicker in my peripheral vision easily enough.

Other sources online (you can find lots of them but I didn't see an obvious authoritative article) suggest that 16Hz is the flicker fusion rate for motion in humans.

Flicker fusion for continuous brightness (CFF) is somewhere around 30Hz per https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-15034-z and it rises with brightness - this paper is about testing how it changes in different circumstances.

IIRC there is a consensus forming that small amounts of white cheese (Mediterranean style feta) is allegedly substantially better for you than other cheeses, regular milk or butter consumption. Perhaps someone with a medical background can weigh in.
Is it unprecedented? HRC did the exact same thing.
I'm with you there, no doubt, but lately I've wondered how effectively Bernie could accomplish this.

Only Nixon could go to China, as the saying goes.

EDIT: I don't mean this in terms of electability -- I think Bernie can beat Trump hands down. What I mean is accomplishing what he sets out to do in terms of policy implementation -- which, as the Obama years have shown us, is not as easy as it sounds.
And don't forget about harmonics. Seems like flicker at higher refresh rates would happen whenever the mental and external rates synchronize.
Google doesn't directly sell data in the first place - they leverage the data they have to improve the value of their ad network (in the form of enhanced targeting and attribution capabilities). It's actually in their best interest to _protect_ the data they have on you, as it's a primary competitive advantage they have over other ad networks.

As far as the unsavory interpretation of how they could conceivably use Fonts data to further that end: calls to download their fonts are another touchpoint with the Google ecosystem, and a theoretical vector for further tracking the browsing behavior and device graph of an individual.

That said, traditional font licensing for commercial use is absolutely bonkers[1][2][3]. Even if Google is using the data they collect from serving font files to feed into their user tracking, they've done a service to the web[4].

[1] https://designshack.net/articles/typography/what-is-a-font-l...

[2] Working at a creative agency, I learned that we can't so much as legally use a client-dictated (and licensed) font in a mockup without paying thousands of dollars for a license ourselves.

[3] Webfonts tend to be licensed on a per-pageview basis. One client got hit with a temporary flood of scraping/bot traffic, and the biggest economic impact was the unexpected six-figure font bill that month. We convinced them to put the site behind Cloudflare and used a Worker to strip out the font include for suspected bot traffic and inadvertently lowered their licensing cost by more than our annual retainer.

[4] I can't say how it is everywhere, but working at one of the top three marketing agencies, Google Fonts are the only approved open-source fonts we're allowed to use (since they're primarily free for commercial use, as well). Not every client is able or willing to absorb a 5-6 figure font line item for every engagement, so without Google Fonts we'd (and I presume other major agencies) would be stuck with using system default fonts everywhere.
