Well, they do touch on desensitisation as a potential route to how he ended up as he is, so it's possible that he's equally desensitised to gruesome imagery. They don't mention much about the control subject other than that he's also a climber - but he may come from a culture where the kind of imagery described is less prevalent.

I'm a high sensation seeker - I don't climb, but I do skydive, bungee, and I love to ski at ludicrous speed down unmarked terrain - flying off a cornice that you didn't see and having to think fast about where and how to land is a crazy rush. Why I mention this - I can identify with the visualisation and memory rewrite process he describes. I am, by no means, master of my amygdala - but more often than not I am. I think about the bad possibilities of anything I'm about to do, and visualise avoiding or dealing with them. I rehearse in my head. By the time I get to the real thing it's old hat. There's no fear, just supreme confidence that I know what I'm doing. It's the same sort of process one goes through before pitching to a customer or investors. Rehearse mentally until it's easy, even if you've never done it before.

When I do have an unfortunate experience, like chopping off a thumb, knocking myself out, or shattering a hand because I forgot that trees are quite hard at 100mph, I revisit it until it's funny, and no longer regrettable and associated with pain, both in my own mind and by recounting the tale. Having a wilful disregard for the integrity of your own body is quite useful - I know I'm not bulletproof but I don't mind the missing and numb bits.

That all said, once in a while I find myself with shaking legs, tunnel vision, and all the rest - usually from stupid and inconsequential shit that, critically, I didn't anticipate - like his ten foot fall.

I remember the moment I figured it out, aged seven, halfway down an icey mogul black, panicking and crying, and then suddenly realising that I didn't know what I was scared of - and then blasting down the piste, realising that it was all about just believing that you can and it'll all be fine and just getting on with it.

Anyway. My two cents is that you can self modify and override "hardwired" behaviour with only moderate conscious effort, and far more people do this than we currently realise.

I understand that a surprising number of people don't appear to be qualified. Though in the majority of cases succeeding in a job doesn't have to do with qualifications rather it boils down to determination. See any Paul graham commentary if you don't believe me (though I have considerable experience managing from high school to doctorate level).

I suggest we stop kidding ourselves on how hard most jobs are. Most jobs aren't hard and can be trained with a surprisingly low amount of effort. Though most people instead choose to spend that effort sifting through candidates holding out for the 10x engineer. I think we'd be better off seeking out determined individuals and getting on with the actual work.
I like that the top comment on this article is about a hypothetical possibility for a theoretical scandal and not about, say, the actual state of reality.
FWIW according to the Rogue One filmmakers, the reshoots were planned for and fit in with the already planned shots. Nothing like what happened with Toy Story 2.
Reasons including, but not limited to:

a) actual shortage of specialists (shocker!)
b) new projects that has to be staffed quickly (we need 50 Java EE developers in Phoenix, AZ, for the project starting in 6 months)
c) moving existing projects to maintenance mode after feature completion: existing expensive team is downsized, and lower-cost maintenance engineers are hired to fix occasional bugs and user support (have to be hired fast and in large numbers, hence the shortage and need for H1B). This creates a lot of protest and drama, but looks like a perfectly valid business decision to me: some projects actually do reach completion stage, and keeping all expensive developers afterwards doesn't make any sense.

I took an online college math course, and I'll back up such courses for kids learning. It was the best math course I took.

I had trouble in 'traditional' courses. I completely missed algebra one year. Simply didn't get most of the concepts. I'd listen in class, I'd take notes, read the book, and do the homework nearly every night (Heh. Teenager). And I generally would do poorly on the homework, despite thinking I had done the process correctly.

With the online program, I still used pen and paper. Entered in an answer. The difference was I'd get immediate feedback on whether the answer was correct, and then get the option to try again.

The program had a system that would walk me through the problem, having me solve step by step, explaining on the way. It would repeat this process with similar problems as much as necessary. Then give a similar problem for me to answer for the homework.

In addition, there were study tests. These did not have the help feature (like the actual tests), but did give immediate feedback and suggested certain things you needed improvement on.

These things were really key to my being somewhat confident in math and passing the course. Of course, i'm pretty sure they could be software instead of online which would solve a single problem.

Now, I might be unique. I think I'm mildly dyslexic - I still mispell some simple words, get times tables mixed up, and have to think about right and left, for example. But the computer software (and calculators, to a lesser extent) help me know where I commonly have mistakes, much like spellcheck helps me out greatly.

In our universe, energy would be accumulated (measured in joules or watt-seconds), and each upgrade bought would produce more power (measured in watts or joules per second).

I think this interview misses a very important point. Academic writing is necessarily in English, which is by far not the native language of most academic writers. In journalism or even science dissemination to the general public, people usually write in their native language, which helps a lot to be perceived as a good writer compared to an academic paper written in English by a non-native speaker who will thus attempt to mimic the academic style of writing of their scientific community.

The JIT's kicking in is governed by the request count, not the request rate, so this claim is meaningless.

To be precise, in Java 8, if the JIT is not heavily loaded and the code cache has space, then for a method with no loops, compilation will happen when the invocation count exceeds the Tier3InvocationThreshold:

You don't want to be very close to a tree that is falling over because of the way the roots tear up the ground. Or, if the tree has been cut down and its direction of fall is not clear of obstructions, the cut end of the trunk could fly around in unexpected ways. Best to be well clear on the far side of the direction of fall.

I see a lot of fellow Europeans in this thread who prefer local TV series to preachy US cartoons (me too). This is slightly off-topic, do you have an opinion on the old Dutch show Alfred J. Kwak[1]? It was extremely political, but somehow I didn't mind when I was a kid. I wonder if it was simply surreal enough to make up for all the reality that it depicts? Has anyone re-watched this series again with kids, 25 years later?

Is that 15 minutes of brute force? Because surely as technology improves more can be done in 15 minutes.
Some corrections from the point of view of an endurance athlete (triathlon). First of all you don't really "eat glucose", that would be an oversimplification. Glucose is produced by your own body when metabolizing carbohydrates. As a backup mechanism your liver can also produce glucose by converting amino acids (muscle) and even fat, a process known as gluconeogenesis.

Now, if we replace "eat glucose" with "eat carbohydrates", then the statement is still not quite accurate. Experienced marathon runners (and other endurance athletes) will not consume carbs before the run because doing so would spike insulin and effectively shut down breakdown of fatty acids in the liver. Liver can more or less either convert glucose to glycogen and fat, or break down fat, and is not great at doing both simultaneously. Maintaining fat metabolism is hugely important when going the distance since it's the largest energy reserve available in your body (50,000+ calories vs <2000 calories as glucose).

Marathon runners consume moderate amounts of carbohydrates DURING exercise when insulin response is blunted. The idea here is to maintain glucose levels and avoid going into hypoglycemic state (low blood sugar). Ingesting moderate amounts of simple and complex carbs during exercise spares glycogen without necessarily spiking blood glucose to where liver has to regulate toxicity. This way you can keep on going longer.
No. There are 2^128 or so possible IP addresses. Such an index wouldn't fit anywhere.

How do you think your life would be if you couldn't access the 10% that is not entertainment? I'll argue this stuff will at times be a large quality of life issue especially if you are poor.

Like others have said, governments are moving things online. Some things, though available in person, are too far for travel and telephone hours are short. If you are working a couple of jobs, you might miss some work just to do basic things, which is really detrimental. Even simple tax returns give money sooner, which might be the difference between someone having housing and not.

Utility companies have started to charge people more if they get a physical bill instead of online billing. Reduced or witholding installation charges if you sign up for internet, cable, or whatnot online.

Maybe you just need a phone number. Increasingly phone books are becoming rarer, so you might not have access. Or the number changed, or you need some governement phone number that isn't listed. Maybe you simply need hours or a doctor's phone number. Internet provides this more readily.

More and more companies are using online only applications. I worked for a pharmacy that simply did not take paper applications or CVs. They did not have a kiosk in the store.

Libraries are great for access, until they are out of your range or you don't have one in your township and have to pay for a card. Many smaller libraries have too few computers, a short time limit (30 minutes), and a lack of privacy. Plus there are transportation costs.

Such transportation costs actually are most detrimental to the poor.

Now, most folks will have the biggest gain in entertainment. But really, this helps you be more productive as well. You can make small talk at work, you can relax after the day, interact with family, and other such things. It is good for mental health in some respects.

This is mentioned in the article: "If you skip a meal, at first you feel acutely hungry, but then you actually begin to feel less hungry again as that accustomed mealtime passes by."
This reminded me of the following exchange from Bujold's "Barrayar":

“Poor?” said Cordelia, bewildered. “No electricity? How can it be on the com network?”

“It’s not, of course,” answered Vorkosigan.

“Then how can anybody get their schooling?”

“They don’t.”

Cordelia stared. “I don’t understand. How do they get their jobs?”

“A few escape to the Service. The rest prey on each other, mostly.” Vorkosigan regarded her face uneasily. “Have you no poverty on Beta Colony?”

“Poverty? Well, some people have more money than others, of course, but . . . no comconsoles?”

Vorkosigan was diverted from his interrogation. “Is not owning a comconsole the lowest standard of living you can imagine?” he said in wonder.

Aaron Swartz alredy wrote about that in his Guerilla Open Access Manifesto (https://archive.org/details/GuerillaOpenAccessManifesto; https://archive.org/stream/GuerillaOpenAccessManifesto/Goamj...):

"There are those struggling to change this. The Open Access Movement has fought
valiantly to ensure that scientists do not sign their copyrights away but instead ensure
their work is published on the Internet, under terms that allow anyone to access it. But
even under the best scenarios, their work will only apply to things published in the future.
Everything up until now will have been lost."

I don't know, and I find this rather frustrating. I write a lot of tools to monitor devices in the lab via a web interface and often want to see updates every 10-100 ms. The only library I have found that seems to be up to the task is [Flot](http://www.flotcharts.org/) (and I've looked into a lot of options). My main complaints about it are its reliance on jQuery (which I am not otherwise using) and its lack of recent development (although it seems fairly feature-complete).
I was disappointed

Yes. Yes it should.

It was killed by users flags.

I didn't flag it, but my guess is that it was flagged because if you don't look to carefully it seams to be a rehash of the old leaks, or a crackpot site with fake documents. The nytimes.com articles have more credibility and are better written.

In this cases you can vouch for the article to unkill it, and also email the mods hn@ycombinator.com. In some cases they remove the flags and reset the time counter of the article.
The point is that "small things matter." (1) For them, that was getting the speaker right.

As for the references to RadioShack, I think he makes a good point: RadioShack was important in helping people build those small things. (not necessarily indispensable, but certainly important).

(1) That point is repeated many times, including the subtitle.
I've been training for triathlons while adhering to a ketogenic diet since October 2015. Initially I struggled. It definitely felt like a step back. Over time my body adapted and 3-4 months later I was performing on the same level without consuming copious amounts of carbs as prior to going keto.

These days I can wake up from a 12-18 hour fast and run a marathon at an easy pace while ingesting zero carbs in the process.

I ingest some carbs during actual races when glucose utilization is higher due to higher intensity. You will always need some glucose and the ratio of fat/glucose metabolism depends on intensity. Basically if you push the pedal to the metal your body will utilize what it has got. With that said, I feel like keto adaptation definitely broadened my options for how to pace myself and how to use my energy reserves during training and races.
I'm a little bit surprised: Raspberry Pi 3, say, 40$ (current price on Adafruit). Let's say 70$ for RPi + power adapter + enclosure + mouse + keyboard + SD card. You surely have a TV. Use your mobile phone to set up a hotspot - problem solved. If this is still too expensive: There are lots of hobbyists having old RPi lying around. Or companies that have old mouses and keyboards lying around that aren't used anymore and are happy to give them away for a symbolic sum.

An interesting phenomenon in spatial thinking is that scalemakes a big
difference. We can think about little objects in our hands, orwe can think
of bigger human-sized structures that we scan, or we can think of spatial
structures that encompass us and that we move around in. We tend to
think more effectively with spatial imagery on a larger scale: it’s as if our
brains take larger things more seriously and can devote more resources to them.

Really? I prefer imagining things in front of me, they become more manageable at a scale similar to a paper or me, rather than my house. It just seems more natural, does anyone have any insights on this?

Incremental Parser Combinators in JavaScript – UWTB
If a company thinks it can hold off hiring through 10 interview rounds for a 10x, it will have the same ROI and the added benefit of statistics to prompt government action/assistance. Unfortunately, in turn, catering to increase the supply of workers causes a longer tail of unemployment so a certain socioeconomic tragedy of the commons ensues. Seems like a runaway effect.

Not to mention the compounding effects of the work experience catch-22 as for any job, AND a hidden requisite of unofficial apprenticeship experience.
