165,655 | null | null | The problem you are pointing out is related to doctors' excessive eagerness to prescribe medicines, not any inherent flaw in the field of psychiatry. This is a problem with the culture among MDs in the US, it is not a global problem of psychiatry.<p>I've been in first-hand contact with a fair number of doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists and their patients in Scandinavia, and I haven't seen the rampant prescription of drugs to treat vague diagnoses that you describe. If you're in psychotic and in a mental hospital, they'll prescribe drugs, ditto if you have a mood disorder that is severely affecting your functioning. If you have something that reminds of ME or a similar poorly-understood conditions, the meds usually remain off the table and other forms of therapy attempted. Regardless of the situation, if meds are attempted, it's an ongoing experiment to figure out if something works.<p>Psychiatry would benefit tremendously from a better understanding of brain chemistry. But you're suggeating that we shut down our interim attempts at improving the lives of patients who are suffering greatly <i>today</i>. Psychiatry uses our best guesses yet, and is the best option we have. Its similarities to quack medicine are superficial and incidental. | null | marvin | null | 1,378,632,939 | "2013-09-08T09:35:39Z" | comment | 6,348,307 | 6,347,411 | null | null | null |

165,658 | null | null | Some valid points, I do freelancing in parallel to my regular job for the past 10 years and I can see that a lot of what he says are true.<p>But regarding: "You start wondering if your skills are deteriorating." I think he got that wrong. You can't imagine how much your skill-set deteriorates when you work at a company which has a specific set of tools you are allowed to use and everything is micromanaged by usually less than competent project management. If it wasn't for my freelancing projects I'd be stuck for the past 10 years with no new knowledge. What's worse is that sometimes you know that you can offer the client something better but for the good of the company its best that you don't - it makes you feel so bad in the end when a project finishes and you realize you didn't do the best you could because that choice was taken away from you. | null | kyriakos | null | 1,378,632,905 | "2013-09-08T09:35:05Z" | comment | 6,348,304 | 6,348,042 | null | null | null |

165,678 | null | null | To underbluewaters' example of just getting a simple recipe on the screen, building a mobile-friendly page to display that kind of content is certainly not hard. For example, this is a recipe page that I personally worked on a few months ago (sorry, we didn't have a chicken tikka masala recipe...): <a href="http://tailgating.publix.com/recipes/29/caramel-hickory-chicken-with-crunchy-asian-slaw" rel="nofollow">http://tailgating.publix.com/recipes/29/caramel-hickory-chic...</a><p>On my phone, that page is every bit as quick as a native app. The presentation doesn't suffer. It's actually quite a bit better than many native apps I've had the misfortune of installing.<p>More importantly, the content is actually discoverable from web search. The alternative is forcing the user to choose a recipes app from an opaque app store search, wait to download/install it, then search in that single silo of content and hope it has the content they want. Then, rinse/repeat if they don't find a recipe they like. Even if they happen to find a nice native app on the first try that does have a good UI, good content, <i>and</i> the specific content they want, that is a vastly inferior experience.<p>Can you create a poor mobile web experience? Sure. The situation isn't very much different than janky, slow desktop sites that are laden with too many third-party scripts for ads, tracking, social, etc. Mobile does exacerbate the effect of that kind of sloppiness, but I think that stems from sites where content is secondary to advertising/social, not the feasibility or difficulty of creating a good mobile web experience.<p>I was going to add a disclaimer to the link above asking folks to be gentle if they peeked under the hood, because I developed that site in an insanely short amount of time for how much content and functionality is there, but maybe that's an important data point in and of itself. If it were so difficult to develop a decent mobile web experience, there's no way I could have shipped that full site in about two weeks of billable hours. Not to mention, we focused a lot more on the desktop layout than mobile, based on analytics. I wouldn't say mobile was an afterthought, but the phone layout was a fairly small fraction of the overall effort. | null | Encosia | null | 1,424,480,343 | "2015-02-21T00:59:03Z" | comment | 9,084,158 | 9,082,560 | null | null | null |

165,680 | null | null | It is sort of like, Yes and No it depends.<p>There are reasons why things are little bit more expensive to make. And those add up quickly. The flexible OLED panel is more than double the BOM cost of rigid OLED even at the scale of Apple. For Apple that is ~$150+ of RSP increase form a single component. It is not only just being rigid, but they are also a higher quality panel. People often only look at "<i>spec</i>" on the surface without actually going it into details. Add up the cost of iOS ( $10 on accounting basis or $30 for RSP ), Face ID etc you are looking at $200 RSP extra already without going into any many other differences. Of course the main thing being Apple has a gross product margin of 60% compared to Xiaomi at ~10%. ( I think they raised this to 15%+ due to operating cost being higher outside China )<p>It is also worth remembering. Hardware is insanely cheap. Comparatively speaking. We talk about moore's law ending because of higher cost of making chips, at the same time we keep making dozen of billions from stupid social network and ads. The number by comparison are often comical. The cost of a product are now mostly driven by software when Apple are still giving iOS update to a phone first released 6 years ago.<p>It might also be worth noting, the entry level iPhone, iPhone SE, has faster single thread performance ( Very important due to Amdahl's law ) than the best flagship Android Phone on the market. You have to price this in somewhere. | null | ksec | null | 1,626,613,042 | "2021-07-18T12:57:22Z" | comment | 27,872,554 | 27,872,093 | null | null | null |

Our downtown sidewalks are a combination of real brick, which over time has become uneven (Not a lot of taxpayers walking to complain I guess.) and in new areas of downtown they have poured tinted concrete. A stencil is applied to give the concrete a brick-like appearance.<p>How curious the Egyptian’s process in Spain is elevated and pretentious (after the hydraulic press the Spanish tile maker gently brushes the tile).

165,710 | null | null | My biggest issue with corporate layoffs is that not that they happen-- they're inevitable and necessary-- but that they're often done in an incompetent way that fails to account for the real problems. Everything that grows will eventually experience contraction; the problem is that companies don't know how to contract in a decent way. If you do a layoff wrong, the company ends up more fucked-up and future layoffs are inevitable.<p>1. Reducing headcount without reducing complexity will fail. Reducing operational complexity is hard because it requires that the top executives get access to information that the mere process of looking for will tip people off, and because it gets political rapidly. Layoffs need to happen quickly, the theory goes, so it's easier and better to just cut away 10% of the people in one fell swoop and, later on, reduce complexity. However, the complexity reduction often never occurs. According to typical executive thinking, it can't happen before the layoff-- it'd tip people that something's going on-- but after the layoff, people tend to see the first-order immediate problem (high costs) as solved and therefore don't handle the deeper issue (high complexity) that got the company in trouble in the first place. Thus, fewer people have to do more work; they do a worse job of it, and the higher defect rate leads to even more complexity, and everything goes to hell.<p>2. Plenty of companies are dishonest about layoffs and dress them up as aggressive "performance" reviews. I won't list names, but there are plenty of dishonest technology companies that claim to have never had a layoff because what the psychopaths in charge actually did was dress one up as performance-based firings, with kangaroo courts ("performance improvement plans") and all. At least banks are honest; they say, "business was shitty this year and we let people go". But there are so many tech companies that don't want the press of an honest layoff (they even pretend to be constantly hiring, to present an image of unyielding growth) so they lie and call it "performance". An existing stack-ranking regime helps. What these companies are really doing is throwing their own people under the bus to preserve their own reputations, and they shouldn't be surprised when people fuck them right back for it. | null | michaelochurch | null | 1,375,977,943 | "2013-08-08T16:05:43Z" | comment | 6,179,793 | 6,179,163 | null | null | null |

165,715 | null | null | Hi there! I fell in love with newLISP a few years ago, mostly for its clean documentation, the fact that everything seemed to make sense, and the fact that it was small and fast.<p>I found the newLISP web framework Dragonfly and adopted it to build a prototype website for my previous company. I used Solr for the document storage engine, and used newlisp's excellent native XML conversion to convert an ugly XML feed into a newLISP list and then into individual Solr documents. Then I used Dragonfly to write a front-end searching application that was launched to a select group of our customers. newLISP made it really easy to prototype rapidly and deliver new features quickly.<p>Dragonfly stopped being updated, so I decided I wanted to make my own web framework. That became newLISP on Rockets (www.newlisponrockets.com) and I released the source on GitHub.<p>Although I haven't updated the newLISP on Rockets website much lately, it's mostly because I'm too busy using Rockets in my current job. I built a searching application for all our documentation, and now I'm busy building business intelligence stuff.<p>It's nothing too fancy, and I don't consider myself a great programmer at all. But I love the fact that newLISP allowed me to make all these things quickly and with few lines of code, and it's easy for me to maintain them afterwards. That's the true value that newLISP has for me. | null | JeremyReimer | null | 1,443,204,130 | "2015-09-25T18:02:10Z" | comment | 10,279,643 | 10,279,382 | null | null | null |

Thirty years earlier, in 1970, the number was only 16 percent.<p>Your point is well taken about bank accounts though. What you say about history moving fast and slow is very interesting. In this case it seems to have moved very fast. Did you feel you had any trouble getting a bank account as a women in your generation? My wife set up most of our accounts so I can only assume it's not a problem. That is indeed a very large change for one generation.<p>The university enrollment data is very interesting.

165,719 | null | null | > And I'm sorry but I do think advertising is manipulative through and through. That's pretty much the whole point.<p>So is <i>all</i> communication. That friend you tells you about his morning, or some current event? He's expecting to elicit a particular type of response. We don't generally care too much, because we attribute good, or at least harmless intentions to their communication. We manipulate the emotions of those around us as a secondary communication channel.<p>Advertising is communication as well. The difference is that we often adopt an adversarial stance when dealing with it, because while most advertising is about the company selling you something and mostly harmless (if annoying) it's still informative of the product, but <i>some</i> advertising is outright misleading and can confuse the issue. Advertising isn't bad because it tries to manipulate you, but it <i>can</i> be bad when that manipulation is to get you to do something that isn't in your best interests (otherwise it ranges from helpful, through useless, and to annoying).<p>Advertising can be useful and helpful. It helps people determine what is available in the market and make a decision on what to buy or what to research. The name of a store on it's exterior, and the name of a site at the top are both advertising, and useful. You may have decided that you think this trade in information is not worth your time, and that's fine, but I reject any argument so simplistic as to say advertising is bad and possibly immoral because it's manipulative. It's too simplistic to have a meaningful relation to reality in this case, and thus has no place in this discussion, IMO. | null | kbenson | null | 1,443,204,152 | "2015-09-25T18:02:32Z" | comment | 10,279,647 | 10,277,136 | null | null | null |

165,742 | null | null | > Collaborative Fund suggested that we account for these various paths within the structure of the Series A funding. We added downside protection for the Series A investors, in the form of a right to claim a return of 9 percent annual interest on their investment at any point starting five years after the initial investment. At the time, I didn’t appreciate how important this clause would become. Even our legal counsel commented that this was not something he saw too often.<p>The wording suggests that this was a decision he regrets / a feature of the agreement he didn't think was important at the time. Is that the case? Would it have been less onerous with a lower rate? In general, I'm curious if / how they would have redone this decision. | null | wgyn | null | 1,535,582,460 | "2018-08-29T22:41:00Z" | comment | 17,872,713 | 17,870,501 | null | null | null |
165,743 | null | null | You can use this to make a cheap "toilet-paper-ometer" by sending a 1KHz square wave to one LED and using a second LED's "detector" output narrowband filtered for 1KHz. The 1KHz signale makes the "meter" insensitive to ambient light, and the device is easily calibrated by measuring "detector" amplitude with different layers and curve fitting the amplitude vs. sheet count. Nice science fair project for a Raspberry Pi. | null | zunzun | null | 1,535,582,459 | "2018-08-29T22:40:59Z" | comment | 17,872,712 | 17,872,008 | null | null | null |
165,744 | null | null | Honestly the believe that those things don't actually improve performance that much. ARM has much of this for historic reasons not because the market demand it. I think ARM has more problems because of the incredibly weak memory architecture. RISC-V quite deliberately and explicitly avoided to have overly complex semantics and went a memory model somewhere between x86 and ARM.<p>x86 has TSO and still is the fastest, so I think overall you are doing much better for yourself if you avoid massive complexity in your memory model because that is gone cost you in application complexity that you could be using for optimizations.<p>RISC-V has privilege architecture and a vector architecture as well, and they of course do add complexity, but are still simpler then corresponding functionality in ARM/x86 while doing many things better.<p>RISC-V was specifically design as it was because the ISA does really not impact performance that much and having something simple and understandable was not going to be a huge performance hit. | null | nickik | null | 1,535,582,474 | "2018-08-29T22:41:14Z" | comment | 17,872,715 | 17,868,995 | null | null | null |
165,745 | null | null | Not by my calculation.<p>Here is how I figured that. He had 45% of a company that was valued at $80 million in the buyback. That's $36 million. He paid back $3.3 million. That reduces the value of the company by $3.3 million and leaves his value untouched. So he now has 36/(80-3.3) = 0.46936... of the company, for around 47% < 50%. | null | btilly | null | 1,535,582,464 | "2018-08-29T22:41:04Z" | comment | 17,872,714 | 17,872,098 | null | null | null |
