One of the biggest surprises to me when I was taking advanced psychopathology courses was how little certainty there was around antidepressants and much of the drugs used to treat psychological disorders. For some people they work absolutely amazingly. For others it can actually have precisely the opposite intended effect. And for some it can have literally no effect.

I had a long discussion with a psychiatrist about this and they more or less acknowledged that it really isn't a science and is more of an art. You try this SSRI or that SSDI with a low dosage and see what happens. Then you Amp it up gently. If it works great. If it doesn't, then you dial it back and try something else. Slowly working to drugs with more and more adverse side effects until something works.

They have an idea of why it works but they don't really know precisely for every person.
just one file inthere?? :/
This isn't correct. Cured means the defect or underlying problem was solved, requiring no further treatment.
The mental stated provided by SSRIs for some is called "treated" not "cured."
Of course, I wouldn't ask this for a home project but if its considered for a business archival solution were government regulation requires me to store things for multiple years and client data for same period. Of course, I will make sure this data is safe. I am not going to depend on their marketing pages.

You make it sounds this is ridiculous to do a security assessment or to ask for such paperwork. I can tell you that my company insurance even demands it. At the moment I prefer to pay 3x more and store things at a cloud provider which shares these kind of documentation.
I also wanted the dumps but it seems only big players are allowed to "find" these dumps
They made a book of them in 2008 if you (or anyone else) is interested.
I feel this fits things that "aren't really wrong", but that are dangerous.

Other examples include monoculture of crops. Generally, not a good idea. Happens wherever it can, though.

That is, I agree with your points. I just have difficulty thinking we have the full picture covered. :(
I simply muted sound in my current chrome tab before I opened the link.

Or at least, I fancied that.
There's no disconnect.

No consent: violation.
You're projecting. My experiences as the youngest, and smallest in the class until the last year of high school, left me with the following experience - No impact, no differences based on being younger and smaller.

I would say what you're saying are results of being younger are actually results of your personality traits, and being a year older would have still lead you to having similar experiences at school.
Would be my guess too, but other than a single PR from one of the core devs I can't find any connection between the projects. Is there any source for this?
My conjecture: Kindle sales is part of a ecosystem sale, rather than standalone sale. There is definitely a segment for E-Ink display, but as a standalone desktop seller it might be hard.
It's not that it's bad advice. It's that it's not a good response in this case, because it sounds like blaming the victim, which is unfortunately all too common.

There's a time and place for such advice, and this isn't it, in my opinion.
You should try f.lux [0]. When you're getting towards your bedtime, it turns your blue light off or down, giving a much softer color on your monitor.

I don't think Oculus wants to the the IMAX of virtual experiences.
Yes, install a tracker app, track what you eat to get baseline. Increase / decrease average weekly consumption based on your long term goal. Wait until the results set it.
The biotech sector actually outperformed the tech sector last year.
That's not what he said. Chiropractic is a sham because it isn't science; the scientific method fails to show evidence that chiropractic treatments are effective.

You mention racial differences and the sensitive point about biological differences. But I think there is another kind of racial differences that is not biological - the situational differences. The situation is different for every person, and - on average - for every race.

Depending on the situation the same people behave differently. So it's not the skin color in itself but the different context that makes races behave differently. Being poor or uneducated for example is a better prediction of defaulting on payments, but race, wealth and education are correlated.

The affordances of the context influence choices - how many good options vs bad options you have in your situation. For example, people who would behave perfectly OK in normal life might try to cheat the system to get vaccinated sooner. Because they only got bad options, they might pick a bad behavior. "I got no choice!" Equality of opportunity, and not of outcomes, seems to me the best approach.

The reverse of this is also happening - in the more developed and feminist leaning cultures fewer women choose to do scientific research. Why? They got better options, so many great choices to pick from. It's insulting to question people's choices when they are made in an abundance of good options, as if they were children who can't make their own decisions.

Yes, Zuckerberg can dismantle the oversight board using the same mechanisms that he used to construct it.
I certainly wouldn't say it's impossible and I'm not suggesting it's on the verge of collapsing but that true mania phase has a limited time span as opposed to the bull market. If it really happens it will super nova and that will be the end of it.
Not sure if it counts as a "scientific experiment," but Roger Bannister's breaking of the four minute mile barrier seems to have been extremely fruitful. Not just for running, but for the concept of achievement in general; i.e. that when someone breaks a barrier, it becomes easier for others to follow.

That's very true, but what are these "things"? They aren't just general "events" a la Plancast. "meetup" has been taken by another brand in the same space. Meeting sounds too... work like :-)
>The comment scores need to be hidden for comments you didn't write

That was in the REPL for a while and I thought it was just annoying and confusing.
Looking at the HTML, the misclicking of up/down arrows on small screens could be fixed just by adding a couple more <br> tags between them.
Interesting. I didn't know they used Erlang. Still, the quality of Facebook chat is pretty poor.
Your interesting tidbit about breathing led me to pay attention to my style. Seems I am doing the "right" way, stomach distends on input and vice-versa. It seems impossible to do the other way. I wonder how people get into that habit.
We also don't have nano meter precision calipers and yet we managed to measure the size of atoms...
The official Zoom Scheduler extension automatically adds https:// links to Google Calendar. I suppose I could hijack the URL earlier, but you'd still need the external protocol prompt setting. And I guess depending on how it's handled it could potentially avoid the need to close the tab, although it might require permissions for every website instead. I think I'll stick with my simple solution for now.
> Is that better?

“Better” by what metric?

If the cost of showing 1000 ads is $5 [0], each advert is at worst replaced with needing 0.5¢ for a micro-transaction. It doesn’t take much time to earn that: Even if someone only earns $5/hour, it is 3.6 seconds. There are people on this site earning 30 times as much, for whom the delay between a new pattern of light hitting their retina and their conscious mind having the subjective experience of seeing a thing is longer than the time it takes to earn the money to cover the cost of the advert.

> How about we let people make this choice themselves, just as we do now?

What choice? We have ad blockers, we don’t have “I reject your ad, but here is some money” plugins.

[0] Numbers from ancient memory, treat with caution.
Agreed, these actions are to prop up the existing economic system.

It's my opinion our economic system needs a major overhaul, one that is preppered to address real situations like this without setting unrealistic growth expectations across the board and better stabilizing the majority of the workforce/labor market.

This national economic stress businesses are feeling is quite similar to the stresses a large portion of the US workforce/families feel every single day/week in respect to future financial stability, risk valuation, growth, etc. It's about to get even worse for most Americans and may strain mass acceptance economic policy and acceptance of our system. That questioning of the system may be a good thing.

I don't think a knee jerk correction where many are hungry, suffering, rioting, without healthcare, etc. is the way about correcting these problems to be clear.

It doesn't seem like the issuees we're seeing will gradually self-correct (concentrated wealth, increased wealth inequality, massive barriers to entry in markets, declining workforce/labor economic growth, ever consolidated market share to fewer big businesses...)

Perhaps this is the invisible all-knowing hand of the market self-correcting?
Judge me by the enemies I’ve made.
Not to mention have a government enforced monopoly on it.
I struggle with this, I feel like unless I go off the grid and become self sufficient I can't say I'm 100% positive I'm not exploiting someone.
The impact should be in the 0.001%, compared to all of the other activities, like heating, cooling, meat heavy diet, driving a car every day, taking 1 transcontinental flight obliterates all savings from not driving a car for a year.
There were more than enough hints that this was a prank that even a cursory inspection would show the truth, and that was a conscious decision.

It would have been fairly easy to make it a lot more resilient against that but we figured that by making it this plain those that fell for it would know that they had failed to do due diligence before entering all that data.

A simple whois would have been enough, as would have been a google search for 'second chrome notebook contest' or anything else like it. Google consistently refers to the device as a 'notebook', the site used 'laptop' in the domain but notebook elsewhere, the site was not hosted on a google IP range and so on.
Don't forget their awful, automatic broadmatching for organic results.

Today I was searching for "(vendor name) promo code"

And back came results about programming. Because code, when not a noun, is a verb for "to program." It's just awful. Sometimes getting no results is more useful than getting broader results that I need to parse just to establish I'm not going to find what I'm searching for.
And for some people [1] it just might.

I wouldn't say Brazil is holding out, it's just that population is heavily concentrated on the southern coast. The northern parts of the country have a smaller, poorer population. It would probably be brighter if Orkut didn't exist, but the Amazon basin would still be completely dark.
Seriously. I wish more sites would implement OAuth. It would cut down on the amount of crap I need to remember and it would enable me to cut off a site that has been compromised.
Solving this problem in general is a major area of research. Look up "Partial Evaluation."
It's becoming more common, especially as OAuth2 (which is far, far, FAR easier to implement than regular OAuth) gains prevalence.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy it helps.
I was talking to a customs officer in Australia who said that some drugs were just dumped overboard and collected from the shore. Even with a loss rate of ~90% from customs intervention and/or not making it to the beach, he said it was still profitable enough that they kept on doing it.
No, not really. The entire purpose of bitcoin network's design is to reduce or completely remove the need for trust amongst participants. It was designed so that it operates in the same fashion regardless of the moral, political and regulatory climate surrounding it. That is not philosophy, but fact.
You don't have to walk on water to work at either of them. With a bit of coaching, the median HN member would qualify.
Yes, he's an artist I've enjoyed watching change and sort of growing up and older with. I still very much enjoy his old work, but I also really enjoy the things he does now.
In high concentrations, geosmin smells terrible, so be careful. I worked with soil bacteria and I spilled some on my shirt and for months after it would reek horribly after sweating through it, problem was I couldn't identify which shirt it was until after I got sweaty (body heat + moisture), I think. This was a problem because I would go social dancing, change into the shirt, and then after a few minutes notice a horrifying smell on myself.
As the top few comments on the other submission note, that "cheer" headline isn't really supported by the article.
Of course you tell them what you want first. Why would you wait? You want to be setting the stage, and anchor any subsequent numbers.
Shouldn't you qualify the exception class as properly as you can?
If you can't I'd expect to check for certain error classes you can handle and else reraise the Exception.
I did. The title wasn't meant to mislead though. More of a tongue-in-cheek remark. Hence having "tracks" in quotes. Personally I think the whole "OMG APPLE TRACKS US!!" thing going on is overblown.

Looking at it now I guess it can be seen as misleading. It wasn't my intention though.

edit: changed the title ..
The last few years I've worked on mostly desktop graphics ranging from a virtual oscilloscope to process control UI.
Last summer I was working on robotics, some iPhone UI stuff for a spy camera, and a desktop OpenGL based color picker.
This year I'm working at my best job ever - I'm doing Windows/WPF and computer vision stuff for guiding lasers for a 3 person company.

As a regular reader of HN one might get the impression that:

(A) The web is where all the developer jobs are.

(B) The alternative to working at a startup is working for Ginorma Corp in a veal fattening cube farm.

(C) Everyone has to pay their dues working on old crusty code.

While the above is mostly true, there is an alternative developer world where none of those things are true.

(a) I've never worked on the web (unless you count web clients for handhelds).

(b) I've spent most of my (non-contacting) career working for tiny companies (1-2 devs) and I love it.

(c) Believe it or not, I've never worked on code that was much more than a year old - and I probably wrote it.

Here's the kicker - I'm not some genius but I've managed to only work at dev jobs I've loved since 1985...

In short, my brothers in the web world aren't the only ones having fun. There a rich development world outside of the web world as well.
I may be wrong but looking at the code and example data it seems that the Android cache only keeps track of the latest time stamp at a given cell tower so it wouldn't know the frequency of visits in an area. This is definitely a possibility for the iOS cache but I can't imagine this would bode well for the privacy-conscious folks.
This was the first thing I noticed. Modern web development. You never know what you're going to get.
In addition, if this is indeed the backstory, then Facebook’s product management team failed miserably by not owning the story and instead deferring to anonymous internet commenters to explain their changes.
>I believe all countries that invade, murder or interfere in elections should be sanctioned by the rest of the world in proportion to their transgression

So sanction the fuck out of the US too, as we still regularly engage in all three.

>And finally, the Magnitsky Act shows that we can actually effectively target those in power in Russia

>It really does feel like the past 7 years, Putin has really been testing the limits of what he can get away with, and sadly the answer so far is "as much backstabbing as he wants".

The evidence that Magnitsky acts work is dubious in the first placez as your earlier comment shows, but I really don't trust politicians issuing punishments without a trial.

>We're already doing these things with North Korea and Iran. I don't see any compelling argument why the actions of the Russian government shouldn't land them in the same boat

Decades of sanctions in those countries has never led to the kind of political upheaval you're calling for, while causing several hundred thousand deaths. Why subject Russia or yourself to that fate.
Water and electricity should be a lot more expensive, then people would start to understand

In combination with educating people not to waste these sources, perhaps. Even then, just a fixed rate might not actually do it: don't recall the exact numbers but just like some small percentage of the entire population earns most, there's also a certain percentage who spend (or waste, depending on how you look at it) more of these sources and because they have the money anyway, making things more expensive will not hit them at all. Instead the lower end of society will take a hit. Which is of course part of the idea, but for some of them that might actually be the extra costs leading to not being able to pay all bills anymore or worse. tldr; I'm not entirely convinced yet, but it seems that to solve problems like this a system where those who use most pay extra (think: you wanna fille your huge pool with drinking water? you'll pay)
The weirder part to me is that small peak right before it started going down. Maybe some overreaction by the grid (or a plant failure as speculated)?
> - Metadata handled by Amazon

That's rather broad, which metadata are you thinking about? Especially given the sealed sender feature. Assuming you have access to everything at Amazon, what can you deduce about Signal users?

I can think of:

- IP address (you can tell that this IP address sent some Signal message)

- size of messages

- timestamps of messages (when they were received by an Amazon server)

IP address leaks a lot of information but there are still workarounds, and it seems reasonable if you're in a no-trust model (meaning Signal's servers wouldn't be any better than Amazon's). In any case, that's way less information than other mainstream messengers.

On the other hand, one distinguishing feature regarding metadata is groups: group membership is not known by anyone outside of the group if I understand correctly, contrary to WhatsApp (and others).
I can't speak for your country, but in the U.S., this is a well-known phenomenon. The media choose nouns according to their connotation, depending on how they intend to shape the narrative (regardless of the facts).

Our allies have "governments". Everyone else has "regimes". It's interesting to see it turned inward.
Existing and being usable are not the same thing.

Try to have your mom restore Signal backups after her old phone dies and you'll quickly see why.

An exchange's shadiness can only affect other exchanges in proportion to its market share. If there was price manipulation on Mt. Gox and it spilled over to all other exchanges then that was because Mt. Gox was the dominant platform for trading bitcoin.

FX in general is very difficult to regulate and there are a lot of shady firms and exchanges out there. However, I think it's hard to argue that the price isn't reflective of the true exchange rate. Over $5 trillion/day changes hands at a tight spread and very low volatility. Finance is based on trust and eventually legit venues get reinforced through a feedback loop.

Yup, my name is on two patents that IMO are just mundane semi-obvious stuff. But our investors insisted on building a portfolio of patented IP, so there you go.

The system is super broken.
Well, what's the 'One'? The implication is 'people'.
But that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I think Windows is crap and yet it has billions (!) of users.
Code page 65001 has existed for a long time now, but it was discouraged because there were a lot of corner cases that didn't work. Did they finally get all the kinks out of it?
"Invented?" Revived in the west, perhaps. Same sex unions go back to antiquity in Mesopotamia, China, Europe and, it seems likely, in the Americas. Even the christian churches were performing same sex marriages a few centuries ago.

A quick net search shows plenty of references so I won't cherry pick any. The story is an interesting anecdote of Wilhelmine Germany, but the title is overly dramatic.
One could use React with one of the more established Grid plug-ins -- jQuery grids for instance. (here is an example of someone using KendoUI gauges with React http://ifandelse.com/using-reactjs-and-kendoui-together/)

With Griddle, we were trying to mostly stick with React so it could be used without other libraries (we do currently have a dependency on underscore but we're hoping to remove that at some point in the future as well).
Emails for open sources projects would be awesome!
The amount of blood, sweat and tears that have been put into getting this together is remarkable. :-)
Welcome in the Procrastination Kingdom. If you have taken care of your physical health already (sleep, diet, sport, fresh air) then there is not much cure. However there are coping strategies - I keep this as my desktop wallpaper: https://alexvermeer.com/getmotivated/ although with inverted colors.
This is an example. Why would you trust an organisation that engineers "solutions" to security measures but does so without due care and attention leading to a widespread critical security bug?
Not a doctor, but AFAIK its not considered safe enough. There are quite a few possible side-effects from using some of the mentioned medication, ranging from diarrhea to QT interval changes that could induce cardiac arrest.
OK, fair enough, but some of the linked resources are insecure anyway.

So I guess the downvotes were because people think it's irrelevant for a read-only content page.

> It’s not a vaccine. Think about it as the administration of a protein, it’s a liquid that is given to people that gives them immunity.

It did not destroy 93 tanks.

The wiki page you link even spells it out. They air campaign destroyed an order of magnitude less, maybe even as few as 3 tanks. They hit decoys or fuck all. Far from levelli g the playing field ethinic cleansing rate increased as the air campaign was waged.

The Kosovo air campaign was one of the most total an utter failures of recent times yet people still try and paint it as a success. Unbelievable.
I remember taking time to make Radian and Degree classes just to make the code clean. Because it was a simple project, it was 10% of the lines but totally worth it.
Updates in the field should be a solved problem with a CI/CD pipeline that is actually doing the work. I use Hugo to generate a few small blogs, but don't do any of the generation locally, nor uploading. Quick updates don't feel like much of a pain in these cases (update the file, commit, push), but agreed that on a big site it will be a bigger update.
No, but if you're interested in starting one, there's a startup idea ;)
