I feel that its probable that the symptoms that we link to PTSD today (and shell shock of the past) can arise from a variety of different stimuli. Maybe as we study in closer, we may find subtle differences in the exact responses due to actual physical trauma, versus things caused by psychological factors. The physiological and psychological symptoms and causes could all be linked in a this brutally complex web of causal factors and feedback cycles.
The Chandrasekhar mass depends on G and a bunch of fundamental constants, and that's the mass of a type Ia supernova. Unfortunately this Wikipedia article doesn't talk about astronomy much:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant#History...

But it does point at one measurement of G on cosmological timescales and distances from 2006:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1402.1534

There are other papers with similar measurements published in the past two decades.

> many larger enterprises might have issues with cloning production

Agreed, I work with a very small company. But it's still useful for moving even test data around. All you need is a source DB and a target.

> connection bandwidth

That gets more complicated...The rated bandwidth is 100mb, the most I've ever pulled from the DB over the VPN was ~25mb.

> amount of data which was actually saved from being transferred

That is mostly a function of how much data was changed since last sync. The hashes themselves are very small, even if you let RethinkDB generate all your id's. It only takes 13MB of bandwidth to download all the hashes for a table of ~210000 records.

Libraries have their own set of massive problems though, usage has been dropping off for years. Public libraries keep steadily expanding the internet services relative to books. They're still central to a small group of people's lives, but that's generally contingent to them being free. Private fee-based libraries already exist, have done forever. There's never been an issue with having those libraries allow sale of some titles at discount due to bulk buying, but that's always going to exclude some interesting/rare titles (which could well be mitigated in part by ebooks, but then this goes full circle; why do you need a physical shop). University libraries are generally accessible to anyone for a fee, but are maybe too specialist and tooled toward courses to be universally useful (+ there's that balance to be made between learning and land value which seems to be swinging heavily toward the latter).

I really, really hope there is some path that would work here (i value books over any other possession, I'm a member of 2 public libraries, my old University's library, and a private library, so I'm pretty partisan) but I'm sceptical as to survival prospects of that line of thinking.

> "The public does not want its funds diverted into private profits, period"

Sure. But no grants allow the diversion of fund into private profits, so I don't know what you're referring to.

Take the SBIR grants. It's a way for the government to help small, for-profit companies do the R&D that might lead to results that will benefit the overall US economy and policy. The hope is for the companies to commercialize the results and do well.

It's not money that the SBIR recipients can use to party on Maui. The SBIR system has accounting and oversight in place to help prevent that.

Or, take the (infamous) Bayh–Dole Act. Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayh%E2%80%93Dole_Act :

> The key change made by Bayh–Dole was in ownership of inventions made with federal funding. Before the Bayh–Dole Act, federal research funding contracts and grants obligated inventors (where ever they worked) to assign inventions they made using federal funding to the federal government. Bayh–Dole permits a university, small business, or non-profit institution to elect to pursue ownership of an invention in preference to the government.

That sounds very much like that the public, through its elected officials, don't actually want what you say they want, because what we had was more like what you say we should have, and they decided to change it.
OK -- if so, then the article was pretty sloppy for not clarifying that point.
Upvoting: If I find a comment thought-provoking and well argued, or if it gives interesting, insightful or funny information, I upvote it. Occasionally I also upvote previously downvoted posts if I think the downvote unwarranted. Comments that express my opinions also often tend to get upvotes (if they represent a meaningful contribution to the discussion.) On the whole I am quite liberal about giving out upvotes, though I do take care not to do it in an inflatory manner.

Downvoting: I can't yet ;-) If I could, I would do it for comments that are way off-topic, contravene the guidelines or are gratuitously negative (especially if they involve personal attacks on other people in the discussion).

One thing I cannot stand is downvoting because you simply disagree with an opinion. We need diversity of opinion here, and on more important subjects than whether JS or Ruby is better for web dev. (As it is, the HN community is already pretty strict about enforcing a certain mindset on commenters. That is a Good Thing where values such as "Be polite" and "Be constructive" are involved, but can quickly become very dangerous if we start codifying opinions.) Basically, downvoting because of opinion pampers to confirmation bias and should thus be avoided. Note that I consider upvoting for opinion fine, as the psychological effect of an upvote is significantly weaker than that of a downvote - at least in my experience.

> This is called Perfidy. It's a war crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidy

Maybe, but it looks like a bit of a grey area. The WP article you link states that "Ruses of war are not prohibited", and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruse_de_guerre includes this:

disguising a warship to appear to be a neutral merchant vessel, or a merchant vessel on your opponent's side, has traditionally been considered a legitimate ruse de guerre, provided the belligerent raises their own flag to break the deception, prior to firing their guns. This was called sailing under false colors. Both sides during the world wars used this tactic, most famously the Royal Navy's Q ships.

and also this:

German commando Otto Skorzeny led his troops wearing American uniforms to infiltrate American lines in Operation Greif during the Battle of the Bulge. Skorzeny later reported that he was told by experts in military law that wearing American uniforms was a defensible ruse de guerre, provided his troops took off their American uniforms, and put on German uniforms, prior to firing their weapons. Skorzeny was acquitted by a United States military court in Dachau in 1947, after his defense counsel argued that the "wearing of American uniforms was a legitimate ruse of war for espionage and sabotage" as described by The New York Times.
It's interesting to see this story on the front page at the same time with another one titled "We Should Not Accept Scientific Results That Have Not Been Repeated". It's easy to solve both problems (killing two birds with one stone?) by implementing protocols of purging scientists with track records of non-repeatable results from "personal opinions" and fraudulent scholars gaming publishing systems, including titles, positions, degrees and/or grant money ever awarded. This should at least release some vacancy in the academia (given a 11% repeatable rate from the Amgen study).

In a normal democracy, he'll get arrested for doing that, no? :) Of course, if he refuses than he'll sure have a military power backing him, be it the police force or a part of the military or both.

Are you sure? I read something written by a physicist that we really can't tell that with certainty about remote galaxies.

Besides, there might be even less dense areas of space than intergalactic void, for example between clusters of galaxies. Also composition of the void at the boundary might vary smoothly between matter and antimatter and mostly just photons in between.

If there are areas of matter and areas of antimatter in the universe then the space between them in young universe would be dominated by energy (photons) pushing them apart and creating natural separation.

Okay so it says "free" on the App Store. But the App store says there is $39.99 "Premium" version available.

I'm either an idiot or there is no obvious way to find out how the free version is crippled (without downloading and playing around with it). Nothing on the App store listing and nothing even on their website (!)

I see this all too much, my reasoning for working 8-9 hour days and nothing more is its being dishonest to the company to put in longer hours. Obviously estimates (and estimates always turn into deadlines) have been done wrong and by putting in those all nighters/extra hours you are only covering up those bad estimates. I find it much better to learn from mistakes so next time the estimates are done better.

I think this is more the fault of Apple than the devs of this. So far my experiences as a developer with the app store have been horrific, and I've heard many horror stories far worse than mine.

I've also had several occasions to deal with the IRS on complex issues. In my experience the IRS is far more responsive, has much better customer service, and is generally better organized than the Apple app store.

To Veertu's authors: sell it on your web site and I'll give you $39 without Apple's cut just to help keep the app store marginalized.

I've also decided I will not be buying another iOS device, ever, and if Apple tries to ram the app store any harder on OS X I will be leaving Mac.

Cyber security is a paying profession and I don't think bug bounties undercut that. A company that's not willing to pay and wants to put in place a bug bounty will get what it pays for, which is a mystery to them and us. Others will pay.

Ask HN: Why are social networks all moving to “what you missed” feeds?
I use Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. All three have stopped using (for the most part) chronological feeds in favor of a "what you've missed/what you'll find most interesting in the past few days" feed.

The problem is: I'm finding that nowadays I almost rarely actually see posts from the day of when I'm looking at an application's feed. For instance, today I spent about 10 minutes on my lunch break scrolling through Instagram and I don't recall seeing a single post from today; all the posts were 2-5 days old.

I hate to say it but right now the best thing going for Snapchat and the main reason I actually use it is because they still show posts/snapchats in chronological order. If I want to stay up to date on friends, I just need to go through my Story feed.

It seems like for all other networks I either don't have the option at anymore to return to chronological order, or the setting never persists (looking at you, Facebook). I don't want to be required to go to specific friends' profiles on x/y/z networks just to see what's going on with them.

I feel that rather than this new movement improving my social networking activities, it's just bringing them down and wasting my time. I prefer to use social networks to see what's happening _right now_ and not what I missed two or some N days ago.

What true benefit is there to forcing this kind of feed on users? I'm certainly not experiencing any.
I wondered that at first when I came to these comments, but then it dawned on me that anyone with a strong opinion on that (read, has personal experience) is unlikely to post comments about it.

I agree with all of your points except this one. Traditionally, disguising a warship as a neutral or enemy merchant is a legitimate ruse de guerre provided the deception is broken before the vessel attacks. There has never been a prohibition against arming merchants or concealing armaments on a vessel flying its proper colors.

I disagree. Research has shown that it is extremely rare for natural bodybuilders to achieve an FFMI (fat-free mass index) of 28 or higher. Based on OP's stats, his FFMI is 27.94. So either OP has godly genetics rivaling those of Mr. America winners, or he is using PEDs. I have no problems with PEDs, but it is disingenuous to claim that his results are purely from diet and exercise.

So sure, OP's physique is possible to achieve naturally, but it is by no means easy (requires winning the genetic lottery).
