As dumb as that sounds, it's not entirely without merit. React Native's direct goal isn't write-once-run-anywhere, it's write-once-write-anywhere. That's a good goal for a place with as many engineers as Facebook does, but smaller teams might place more importance on write-once-run-anywhere.

5 Small Business Tactics for Beating Industry Goliaths
> Non-engineer "policy wonk" feminist

> Regularly attends female-only conferences

> Regularly shares female-only shortlist articles

> No proof that women are paid less or discriminated against, CEO has looked into it

hmmmm.... call me unsympathetic but we've seen this crap being pulled before.
These conferences indoctrinate women with a victim mentality.
> I'd also argue that constitutional originalism is a very new concept

And you'd be wrong -- some of the original authors were already speaking out against originalism in their own lifetimes, which they wouldn't have had to do if the approach hadn't already starting be applied. (And, in fact, some gave preemptive warnings about it even before the Constitution was ratified, so not only was it actually happening from very early one, it was anticipated and a concern from the very beginning.)
I'd argue that survival, reproduction, and keeping your children alive have more to do with instinct and subconscious, and rationality is trying to go beyond this basic movers.

The mental changes are pretty subtle. I think I'm more focused and daydream less. I also feel that I have less of a temper and handle the negative parts of life better. My fight or flight response is harder to kick off now, so things like social anxiety are better managed.

From a philosophical perspective I have absorbed some Eastern concepts that I probably wouldn't have without exposure to mediation and the various Eastern philosophies and religions that influence it. I pretty much accept that life is unsatisfactory in general, so I try to not beat myself up when I realize I'm, say, doing worse than my peers financially or whatever. I also stopped believing in the myth of progress, that humanity is on this course to utopia. I'm at peace with things being cyclical - the rise of liberal democracy is temporary and dictatorial autocracy will once again take over, then back again, etc. Today might be good but tomorrow might be bad. Everything is temporary really and there's no permanent fix to anything. I will die someday and it shouldn't be that big of a deal, etc.

The above attitudes really have been the only things to significantly help my depression. I think being at peace with some of this stuff and having realistic expectations in life goes a long way towards good mental health.
Neat, I'll be keeping an eye on this, it should be a similar process to loading the SPDY module in nginx, right? I'm not that much of a sysops guy, but it was (from what I remember) quite easy to get that loaded up.

I managed to get my own site going with SPDY 3.1 draft, so I'm quite eager to get HTTP2 support going - if not for it's multiplexing, just to be ahead of the curve!

Well I think the fundamental issue is that it is impossible to rationally prove which values are more important than other ones. You have to almost arbitrarily decide. For example you could hypothetically design an artificial intelligence that is optimized for creating paperclips. As a person, you could decide your life goal is to drink as much glue as possible or something stupid like that. But since it goes against your survival instinct and cultural values (and everyone else's) you will just be a dysfunctional crazy person.

Biologically you could define a "good" value system as one which is conducive to you having offspring. Ethics, morality, cultural values, etc. are not necessary for that although they might provide intellectual simplifications that help.
I have trouble both with Effective Altruists' claims that they can actually quantify human well-being to the point to where if you spend $X, you'll get $Y benefit out of it, and without that, the entire point is lost.

Even if you could, with a fair amount of certainty, say that for every $40 that the Yurt charity gets, they'll build 3 homes, there's a pretty hard limit on how many $40's they'll be able to turn into homes. Eventually they'll run out of qualified people willing to build homes for peanuts. Charity simply doesn't scale. The more you try, the more it just looks like regular old business.

EA could very well be a viable philosophy at the low volumes that participate right now, but if they're successful as a movement, whatever they build is just going to turn into another Red Cross. The Red Cross couldn't scale appropriately, and I highly doubt it was due to any lack of can-do willingness.
Drug-aided experiences of awe are interesting; however, it would be very useful to understand the experience of awe sober. I think right now it is known that drug-aided experiences can have powerful psychological effects that can undermine powerful negative psychological experiences like PTSD or depression. Certainly research should continue in both directions as part of the search for the underlying natural causes for the negative and the positive psychological experiences.
Looking at the archive link posted in the other comment, this wiki was about identifying signals based on recordings, rather than location and frequency. Unfortunately the wiki is still down.
Some people value their independence over a reduced risk of malaria. These people would turn down the anti-malaria net(utility doesn't change). Other people value a reduced risk of malaria over independence. These people would take the anti-malaria net(increased utility). So by offering a malaria net you are always benefiting people.

So I don't think I know how a charity could reduce utility as long as the recipients have a choice and are rationally self-interested actors.

No. Psychedelics can be a useful way to get some of the insight that meditation can also provide, but meditation practice over a sustained period changes the brain, so that more positive states of mind are available all (or at least more of) the time.

The author's take on ad blockers is quite alarmist. There are plenty of obvious solutions and counter-arguments:

* Is it fair that you collect and sell data on your users without telling them exactly what that data is? Do you think they'd continue patronizing your site if they knew up front?

* Create a mobile app for your content and enforce its usage

* Bring ads on premise. Back in the 90s we all hosted and sold our own ads.

* Pivot. The world only needs so many BuzzFeeds.
The article is wrong. The author thinks this is about a war between the big 3. It's not. There's no insidious plot to pull the rug out from under google. Apple isn't trying to push their ad platform. Ads right now are just a shitty user experience. You can try to construct whatever narrative you want, but the simplest explanation fits; ads are shit, mobile browsing is shit because of it.
That's assuming that everybody calculates utility the same way, which is false. One obvious difference is how to value hypothetical people, which is why there's so much controversy about existential risk charities. Multiple competing utilitarian systems could easily be worse than none at all- eg. the health charities and the AI charities could both calculate the best option is to sabotage each other to avoid "wasting" resources, even if they both agree on expected results of their work. You end up with a prisoner's dilemma type situation. With deontology both "good" and "bad" people are protected by the rule of law, so you avoid that problem. Utilitarianism is ethical anarchy.
I thought of the abrupt stop as a deviation in convenience / increase in time (out of your control) that doesn't happen on public transit.

Isn't it probably also due to the fact that the UK offers unemployment and healthcare benefits that far surpass what is offered here in the States? So that there is a safety if at the end of the contract you are left with no offer.
I think what is potentially very interesting here is how human perceive vastness, and how humans first experienced vastness: Viewing the horizon such that it appears infinite, floating in a body of water so large that you can see only water in all directions as the horizon curves, staring into the deep blue sky, staring into the dark, star-filled sky.

Understanding how humans experience or understand the infinite (or perceived infinite) would be a fun research topic. Do any HNers have experience with such research or know of people involved or good reading about this?

It's the same thing as posting a "tear off this phone number" page on a bulletin board. You always tear off a tab or two when you first post it, to make it look like people have shown interest.
There's also no way they can stop all drug deals, bank robberies and murders, but they still legislate against those things, and I believe that legislation affects people's behaviour.

People will probably always be able to get together in secret underground clubs where they play with one time pads for kicks. This is not what the government / MI5 are seeking to prevent.
> I'd speculate that you need at least one of the compilers to be trusted otherwise they could both be subverted to produce X, Y that would produce matching V, W binaries with the attack still in place on both.

Ideally one of them is not compromised. But if both are compromised but by different backdoors, the resulting binary will not be bit-for-bit identical (as they include different backdoors). So you can still detect it, and that's really all DDC can do.

The only way to get a bit-for-bit identical binary from two compromised compilers is if they both have the same backdoor.

Ask HN: Corporate sponsor for school library app experiment?
Note: I'm not necessarily looking for financial sponsorship.

I've created an app to help inject curiosity back into the education system, which I personally think is one of the most urgent problems with the system today.

The app lets kids flip through a wide assortment of literature, poetry, art, science, math, film, music, and more from around the world and across time.

It's meant to live on a tablet placed in a central location in the library/media center, so kids can walk up to it and casually explore whenever they have free time.

For students, it's a refreshing change from typical school curricula, because they get to call the shots and explore what interests them.

For school libraries (average annual budget ~$8k!), a world of quality content is delivered to students in a fun way without costing anything or taking up shelf space.

We need a tablet, stand, and a couple of art supplies. I'm not necessarily looking for financial sponsorship (although that would be nice), but a loose partnership for branding purposes. Right now I'm just a random dude with an app.

You can see a demo here: http://canonofman.com.
Because apple knows ad-blocking is a much-desired feature, and as such can be used to 'convince' people it is time to ditch their 'older' devices (which, technically speaking, have no problems whatsoever in running ad-blocking software) and buy the latest&greatest.

For those doubting ad-blocking works on 32-bit ARM, have a look at the multitude of Android devices. Nearly all of them use a 32 bit CPU. Many of them run some form of ad-blocking software, ranging from proxy-based systems (a la privoxy) to browser plugins to host-based blocking. Often a combination of these are used, all on those 32 bit CPU's.
If they would block ads in native mobile apps and web equally, it would seem fair, but they pick and choose.
> it was in fact weaker in every objective respect than Russia has been the last ten years.

No, it wasn't. Most critically, in the capacity for projecting soft and hard power beyond its immediate region -- they key factor distinguishing a superpower from a regional power -- the USSR was far beyond where Russia is now. It may be that Russia is a more effectively focused regional power than the USSR was (though, it must be noted, the areas where it exerts substantial pressure largely are places where the USSR exerted direct rule, and the USSR exerted substantial regional influence far beyond those areas, so even that is dubious.)

Cyber is a poorly defined concept that we need to reform, but given its massive mindshare and the geopolitical reasons* around its use we are probably stuck with the word (but hopefully not the current definition).

* There is a reason that the US military went from talking about information-warfare to cyber-warfare and it has much to do with Russian positions on information sovereignty.

10 Email Newsletter Design Mistakes You Need to Avoid
So many buildings in my city that look they they came out of a Soviet country where the sky is gray, the food is gray, and our souls are gray. Dreary, bland, concrete slabs 10 stories high. Something that millions of people have to look at every day, but the architect didn't plan the aesthetics of for 20 seconds. It was designed to be functional, like an economy car. What way is that to live? At least the Chevy Aveo will break down and be gone in 5 years. The building named after the law firm that occupies it will stand for 50, maybe 100 years of bleak, boring, oppressiveness.

And people wonder why cities have graffiti artists. They're not tagging Gothic churches or glass-and-steel art museums, they're just removing hideous concrete blobs from the city we all share.
The problem isn't that there are no "alternate theories" besides utilitarianism. The problem is the idea that "the most good" has some absolute meaning. What if it doesn't? What if there is no well-defined way to "sum across individuals"? What if goods experienced by different people are simply incommensurable? Utilitarianism blithely ignores all these possibilities, and just assumes that every single "good" in the world can be measured on a single numeric scale and summed up.

"TAKING MONEY AND ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE WEB MEANS THAT WEB INNOVATION WILL SLOW TO A CRAWL"

This is the sort of messaging I would expect from a journalist who has a stake in the online-advertisement game. Does anyone really buy this argument?

I enjoy this Apple-Google death spiral as a spectator, and I hope it will drive more websites to subscription-based, freemium models, instead of playing friends with global spy regimes that incentive advertisement platforms to extract every detail of your internet browsing in order to "serve you better ads", aka, develop behavior profiles of consumers in order to find the "terrorist", and definitely not aggregating the behaviors of individuals in order to create a huge information disparity that becomes a vector of population control. Yes, that poorly placed Google AdSense blurb is trying to take over the world.

Advertisements suck, and they're only getting worse, and more subversive, and the intent of the platform creators is only becoming further aligned with these spy regimes.
Seems like a winning strategy, the Fire tablet is really just a catalog with benefits. Seems like anyone who was a seller through Amazon wouldn't mind a small 'tax' to insure there were lots of eyeballs out there looking at their offering.

At one point Sun Micro was giving away CDROM drives because it cost them less to give you a free CDROM drive and an OS distribution on CD than it did to give to you as QIC cartridges.

Because of this synergy between Amazon tablets and their products, I am really surprised there isn't a stunningly good catalog application that comes hard bundled[1] on their tablets that any of their sellers can plug into with a drop in content module.

[1] Hard bundling being apps which cannot be removed by the user.

Ever since iOS became ascendant I've been scared of a future like this - where the bulk of internet use is funneled through a small number of gatekeepers, doing an end run around the leveling power of the web. It's hard to put into words, but it's the fear that the "internet as we know it" - chaotic and untamed, or more importantly unruled - will evolve into something akin to TV before cable: more interactive, but still essentially a content delivery system for four or five corporations. That is, a thing that our grandkids will be free to consume, but not to create or improve.

It's funny - if a TV network had ever tried to sell people TVs that only played that network's shows it would have flopped, but iOS has proven that the principle can work if the experience is good enough, or the alternatives poor enough. I suppose it's all inevitable, and maybe some think what I'm worried about is already here, but I sure hope not.

And how is someone who is single-handedly responsible for a significant portion of child mortality rates in Africa not a bad guy? If we find killing Bin Laden excusable (even if not morally correct), shouldn't killing some kind of Joker - who's poisoning African wells with mercury and increasing child mortality rates - be excusable as well?

The problem with all those 'oh should I kill someone if it is the best way to decrease child mortality rates in Africa?' is that people try to intuitively reason about abstract situations; for which our intuition is shit. If you imagine what it would actually take for one person to have measurable impact on child mortality, so that just killing that one person decreases the rates, you always end up with monsters that 1. don't actually exist 2. your intuition would say should be killed.
