The paper the article is about [0] has a 3 sentence 32 word introduction. Those 32 words tell describe the mechanism they found, and give you a feeling for how likely it is to apply to humans. 3000 words is a big jump. The first paragraph is 94 words long.

The article has more than that of course - it's a leisurely introduction to the people behind the discovery and the effort they put it. Nothing wrong with that, it's a worthy story in its own right. But when you click on the headline "Why Is the Human Brain So Efficient?" so discover the 32 words answer to the question in the headline is buried in a 3000 word human interest story, you may feel a little cheated.

These 2 exercises worked for me. I did this 5 days a week (around 15-30 mins) and it took approx 4 weeks to get to a predominantly nose breathing situation.

1. Jog slowly at a pace that is comfortable while breathing through your nose.
2. Speed up pace until you feel like you will need to breathe through your mouth stay there for 10-20 seconds.
3. Slow your pace back down to where it's comfortable.
4. Adjust your pace up and down between these zones in intervals.
5. Over time increase pace and interval length.

- It's ok to take some mouth breaths as you continue practicing. The goal is to increase % of breathes via nose.
- When you get the hang of that try it while jumping a rope.

Seated breathing exercise, do with shirt off to observe abdominal and chest region while practicing:
1. Sit comfortable, good upright posture.
2. Breathe in fully and hold for 2 seconds.
3. Sip in as much more breathe you can and hold 2 seconds.
4. Sip in the final amount you can and hold for 2-3 seconds.
5. Exhale out fully and hold for 2 seconds.
6. Exhale out tiny bit more and hold for 2 seconds.
7. Exhale out tiny bit more and hold for 2-3 seconds.
8. Repeat from step 2.

- I found this really good to do in a park or in nature.

These two where my main exercises on top of using that in boxing.
- In a fairly short amount of time I was able to get a full lung breathe through the nose easily.

Good luck.
I could see that. As money becomes more valuable, it becomes harder and harder to get. People have to become more and more clever to keep getting it.

No, and I find it somewhat baffling that so many people seem to think along these lines.

For most people, making major, permanent lifestyle changes is much harder than using a CPAP machine. For people with chronically disrupted sleep, that gap is even wider.

Healthy diet and exercise are free in principle, but you have to choose extremely cheap options for them to actually be cheaper than a CPAP machine in practice.

It's not really "better for" someone with OSA because lifestyle changes alone only have a small effect on OSA severity. It's like going on a low-sodium diet when you have hypertension: it's not a bad idea, and it's almost always good for a few points of improvement, but only an utterly incompetent doctor would recommend it as the sole treatment.
Well, TFA gives the example of Camden. 8 years ago they fired all the unionized cops and hired a new force. Now those new cops are unionized... but with a different contract that gives the union less power.
Cops are often the highest paid employees on municipal and state governments' payrolls. For example, in NJ, the median pay for a cop is $105k[1] before factoring in overtime, benefits or bonuses.

It's a lucrative gig. In NYC, the NYPD runs commercials advertising full benefits, competitive compensation and only having to work for 20 years before being able to retire with a pension.

A few random thoughts

- Always ask for a copy of a good presentation. You can reuse any visually compelling elements.

- Start with a personal story or an interactive set of questions.

- Think about who your audience is, and why they care. What is in this presentation for them?

- If critical stakeholders are going to review your slides offline, as painful as it is, consider putting all your talking points in the slide and just reading from the deck.

- Smile. Make eye contact. Be excited by what you have to say. Pause... for dramatic effect. Use your hands. Use your hands more.

Here is one recent article on the topic, but google around FB has been hiring Republican operatives to try to quell the abuse, among other things.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/nov/03/facebook-...

As a US American and non-FB user, I can say it is fairly obvious in the way Republican politicians attack them, and how they respond. There's a strategy Republicans use with the press, and it wouldn't surprise me if it isn't obvious to those who haven't seen it play out before.
To be fair, there was a time when MSFT was small compared to AAPL.
My hope is that those of us who feel like spinning wheels can show solidarity through a simple gesture of clicking a button, and those of us who may need it can find tangible proof that there are other Americans out there who care, share your sadness, share your anger, and are thinking about this problem and ways to solve it.

Stay safe everyone.

Fuck off Facebook, you've done more to divide people than anyone else out there.
The vast majority of FB users use it for staying in touch with friends and family.

The cynical framing we encounter on HN isn't actually representative of the experience of most FB users.
That wouldn't be a problem in phones where the radio part is screened from the system (Pinephone?) so that implementing encryption can be effective. The SIM might be tied with my me, but any eavesdropper would see only noise because the outgoing data is encrypted by the system before entering the radio hardware and is decrypted by the system after leaving it. They can know I generated some traffic at a certain moment, which is the same information they could get from the carrier operator, but that's about it.

Just want to say that I really appreciated this thoughtful response about tradeoffs. I had a common knee-jerk reaction to your initial post: "Well how convenient, someone who's not in an oppressed group is advising keeping out of politics, which is essentially encouraging the status quo".

It is indeed true, that when you choose to fight the status quo (which there are many valid reasons to do), it makes it much more difficult to keep constant mental peace.

The unacknowledged point was NTSIC: National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace:

In Memoriam: The Rise, Fall & Death of Google Plus

Google was only going to be one of many identity service providers for a program run by the Federal Government called the NSTIC, or National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.

> “[NSTIC] The initiative envisions an online environment-the “Identity Ecosystem”‘ – that improves on the use of passwords and usernames, and allows individuals and organizations to better trust one another, with minimized disclosure of personal information. The Identity Ecosystem is a user-centric online environment, a set of technologies, policies. and agreed upon standards, that securely support transactions ranging from anonymous to fully authenticated and from low to high value.

Alex Howard, "A Manhattan Project for Online Identity"

The NSTIC proposes the creation of an “identity ecosystem” online, “where individuals and organizations will be able to trust each other because they follow agreed upon standards to obtain and authenticate their digital identities.” The strategy puts government in the role of a convener, verifying and certifying identity providers in a trust framework.

There are online sites that will sell you one...basically the way I understand it is they will do a phone consult with a licensed physician. The perscription is required if you want your insurance to pay for it.

The cost is not insignifigant. Cost of the machine itself is around $1000, and then perhaps $150-200 in supplies every 3 months.

Totally worth it though. Life changing.
That gets to the heart of the problem, actually. People use Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends, yet Facebook still systematically pushes inflammatory content on them, despite that not being the "reason" people are there. And, eventually, it gets a surprisingly high percentage of people to respond to that inflammatory content, thus furthering the cycle.
XMPP with OMEMO
Unless something is illegal, Facebook or any website should allow the content. There will always be people who don't like a person or a viewpoint. It's a slippery slope to start moderating content that is not illegal.

All of that is mostly made up. The world runs on pretty mundane software.

You seem to have internalized a few aspects of the software culture that are not constructive. Writing software is a fine job. No one can tell you if you have "progressed" enough or not and "hyped" technology should not be the metric you use to judge yourself.
Just because you haven't been radicalized on FB doesn't mean it's not a real problem.
Precisely. The business of fb is measured in MAU and DAU. These are their key metrics. The only things that drives these metrics are engagement. It’s basically the core of their business. And controversial items generate the most engagement. Unless it’s crossing the line in black and white terms for example like a beheading and most items don’t do that because the world is shades of grey they are good for business as they have the potential to generate more engagement. It’s basically good for business. What’s good for business may not be good for society. Sometime it is. Sometimes it’s not. Some people are ok with this and some are not.
The legal entities can move to other jurisdictions, sure, but it doesn't matter because app distribution still occurs primarily through USA-based Google Play and USA-based Apple App Store—both of which can easily geofence apps as they please (or as they're required).

One of the other problems with using phone numbers, is that it provides an opening for adversaries. Now they know your phone number, which can be used for social-engineering attacks to attempt to bypass 2FA for any other online services tied to your phone number. Either for 2FA or for account-recovery/i-forgot-my-password functionality. 2FA by SMS is wrong and broken and nobody should use it, but they do.

Adversaries will attempt to social engineer customer service for your phone carrier into issuing them a new SIM or porting out the number, so they can receive verification SMS and phone calls.

Huge ruby ran here. Ruby on Rails has been my day job for a decade, and it pays the bills well enough.

>Good decision. Then do the same thing to AWS and Amazon's media branch, and then go undo the whatsapp acquisition

Exactly. My concern is that Google is being uniquely targeted, and that breaking them up and calling it a day just exposes us to further abuses from the rest of the tech industry. At least with Google, evil is divided across five tech giants that can serve as checks against one another, instead of merely four.

Similarly, I feel that the tech industry as a whole, while far from not evil, has emerged with a set of interests distinct from those of other monopolies, and helped protect the internet from being subordinated to the interests of telecoms. Which isn't to say that I enjoy monopolies, far from it. I just want to see similar willpower to break up the giants of other industries.

For that matter, if we really have to go the route of the uniquely targeting a specific tech company, I would at least start with Amazon and then Facebook. Or if we thought more broadly than just tech, I would start with the oil industry giants, finance industry giants, and then telecoms, and then health insurance companies, and then Amazon and Facebook.

Not really an argument for saying an implementation isn't possible.
You could implement some types of multivibrators with NANDs, and oscillators with pretty loose specs, but I'm not sure you could do everything that a 555 could do. The 555 definitely had more precision. But people do forget what could be done with a couple of very simple gates.
Acclaimed video software like VLC also uses FFmpeg/libavcodec to do the encoding/decoding etc, and I don't think anyone is claiming those developers are 'cheating'.
What is your question? You are currently in charge of your knowledge consumption. What is preventing you from building a personal knowledge base?

I'm currently trying various tools for managing information and plan to build something custom for myself. The current tools I'm using are raindrop.io (bookmarking/searching), notion.so (note taking), keybase (file sharing/note taking), and maybe one more but I'm forgetting.

There are tools to manage your consumption and knowledge habits if you look for them and none of them require a centralized knowledge base.
But humans are social creatures, beholden to social norms. Doing something just because other people do it is literally how society works. There are very, very few (if any) "well-adjusted" members of society who don't do many things just because that's how other people do it (a.k.a. it's "trendy"). If you behave otherwise, you're likely be socially outcasted.

Of course, if you're saying society at large is irrational I pretty much agree... but within the context of social expectation, I'd say it's pretty rational to compute that your contribution is more likely to land once a movement has already started. If anything, those who first begin the movement are the most irrational (since the likelihood of success is much lower compared to the personal cost to the individual).

In other words: if you live in an irrational system, the only way to be rational is to behave irrationally.

EDIT: Italicizing.
Absolutely right.

I believe in unions. But unions don't exist to protect and reinstate members who have abused their power or committed crimes on the job. And that's what police unions have a pattern of doing.

I would love to see a set of (enforced) policies that are blind to the user in question, if such a thing could be. For example:

1. If a post is flagged for review, the account name/owner, social score, social graph, ad revenue, all of it, is hidden from the review person, team, or algorithm. The only history they would have access to is violation history, influencing some kind of recidivism penalty.

2. The duration and severity of the consequences of the violation is applied to the account automatically, and the "judge" is unaware of any backlash from the user / community.

3. Any protest or appeal is sent through the process, blind again.

I realize this is isn't nuanced or realistic in the slightest. What about mistakes? What about gamification of moderation processes? What about revenue impact? How could #1 be cleaned enough to fool anyone...

Still.
I don’t think this will actually happen. What I see happening is that any bill that tries to get rid of police unions will get a Republican rider that also gets rid of teacher’s unions. Teacher’s unions are a big part of the Democratic coalition, so the Democrats will balk at passing it.
