>> I never said that should be the case, but it should also be mentioned you don't need get your insurance from your employer anymore, under the ACA.

You could before the ACA it is just the plans were not as robust. I have had independent insurance since 2009. I did it and it was actually scary starting business with this fear. I was initially rejected even though I was healthy, 30 and was applying to the same insurance I just left at my employer. The ACA, for better or worse, made this much, much easier and the plans can't be pulled out from under you or prevent you from getting one. The ACA could be a start to removing insurance from employment and benefit pricing/understanding of market value in health.

>> This is a moral hazard problem, and it's part of why it's a bad idea to consider coverage of routine care as "insurance".

Maybe we need health insurance and healthcare plans separate, it is moving that way in the independent insurance area. The only way for this to happen is to separate it from the employer.

Side note, I worked in games and agencies previously and I saw on two occasions (right to work state) where people were let go who just had health issues that were more serious (heart, one sales guy, one developer). So when people get insurance through their company they think they are covered, but in reality insurers and companies want to pull out of that as soon as possible leaving the individual not insured and not safe. Both were let go shortly after their issues and left with now having to find a plan with a condition (before the ACA). So really, independent insurance is really closer to insurance than employer provided insurance that ends with employment or can be taken from you when you actually need it. Yes there is some buffer with CORBA and other temporary things but it is not safe in terms of being an individual who actually wants insurance in case bad things happens.

If everyone got independent insurance there would be massive changes to pricing and understanding of healthcare and the insurance part (catastrophic). It might even spawn two types of insurance (catastrophic and routine) out of it or industries. Noone should lose the catastrophic side when they leave a job, it is seriously unsafe and not really insurance.

To add on to this, adaptive optics systems can be used to correct for atmospheric turbulence. The latest adaptive optics instruments have been able to achieve diffraction-limited imaging (i.e. comparable to if the telescope was in space) with 8 meter telescopes in the near-infrared (1-2 microns), resulting in ~2e-7 radian resolution. Pushing this to larger telescopes and shorter wavelengths will improve this resolution.

The bigger problem is actually blocking out the glare of the host star. Especially for a planet this close in angular separation to its host star, blocking out the light from the host star is challenging and requires sophisticated instrumentation (e.g. coronagraphs). The problem with the more sophisticated instrumentation is that you also lose throughput (when trying to block out stellar light, you also end up blocking a lot of light from the planet), meaning we will need a lot of telescope time in addition to sophisticated instrumentation to eventually image this planet.
There are ideas for slowing them down and even returning them back to Earth, at least in principle:

Nothing that could be implemented in any foreseeable future though.
OTOH, by going through that laundry list, it shows that you actually performed a full review. You can optimize that (for example, by having a checklist where you mark off all areas with either constructive criticisms or a checkmark.
Probably not. A hardware description language (HDL) is used to program the behavior of the FPGA (that's the FP in FPGA). The HDL is usually stored in flash or EEPROM. As you mention, flash supports a finite number of writes; I'm not sure about EEPROM behavior. The bottom line is that the typical FPGA can only be programmed a fixed number of times (e.g., I think Altera is ~100). Some FPGAs can only be programmed once.
That simple? Well jeez, I don't know what I was even worried about. :D
Whoops, you're right. 34 percent.
This is the coolest project I've heard about in a while. Thanks for sharing!
Wait, I always tried to make my pattern as short as possible and I thought it would speed up the searches. So I guess this means I'm actually better off searching for the longest possible match then?
The craziest thing to me is that if we sent a generational spaceship there that was expected to take 1,000 years, it seems likely that better technology would allow the next generation of spaceships to get there much faster. So by the time the 1,000 year spaceship arrived, there would already be people there!
This is FUD.

ADHD is well researched, and well understood by those who study it. The problem is that people think ADHD is just an issue of self discipline or attentiveness. It is not. It is a serious disorder with serious effects that are unambiguous. No doubt there are stimulant seeking people who claim to have ADHD to get stimulants, and people without ADHD representing that they have ADHD may lead to the impression that the disorder is ambiguous when it isn't. Also if someone has ADHD for long periods of time they may have co-mobidity with other disorders such as depression, etc. and this also may muddy perceptions.

ADHD is not strictly an attention issue. It's named for attention because that is an early and obvious symptom but it is much worse then that. Calling the disorder an attention deficit disorder has turned out to be very bad as it leads people to the wrong mental model of the disorder. Thinking that it's just laziness on the part of the patent or the patents parents, in the case of children. This is a tragically misguided perception, based in ignorance and the poor choice of names.

In actuality ADHD is a developmental disorder that is a more general impairment of executive function that includes regulation of emotion, working memory and the internal perception of time and other effects in addition to inattentiveness. This impairment is due to abnormal dopamine transport that can be clearly observed in MRI studies.

These studies have been repeated many times in many contexts, with various controls, and been thoroughly confirmed.

Also, you are wrong about Adderall. There is a significant difference between meth and Adderall. Stimulants are by for the best understood, most tested, longest used, and lowest risk medications in psychotherapy. Only a few stimulants show clinical improvement in the function of people with ADHD, and the improvement can be profound. Caffeine for example does not show these clinical improvements.

So basically you know jack shit about this topic, and therefore should keep quite, just like any other medical condition you know nothing about. It actually causes harm by interfering with the dissemination of reliable information in the study and treatment of a very serious disorder.

That uniqueness may be just in the fact that our brains were "trained" during the billions of years of life on Earth, with all the quirks of that particular environment. That may indeed be hard to replicate exactly, so it can be imagined that AI will not match us in some particular tasks, just as it is hard for the aviation industry to match the characteristics of bird-wings. (which they can of course outperform along some, but not all parameters)
IMHO - one of the skills we still need to cultivate is "How do I know the information this machine is giving me is accurate?". During my time in school (an engineering-oriented college even though I am not an engineer) they consistently reminded us that even though we have calculators, we still need to have an idea if the result "looks right". One can generalize this to results from a search engine.

Of course - then we program this heuristic into the search engine and then what? :-) [edit] I feel this is one of the things about IBM's "Watson" which was truly revolutionary.
> Even MMA, which is billed as a sorting of martial art's effectiveness, has substantial rules that greatly limit the fighters. For instance, no groin strikes, leg stomps or eye gouges: all of which are actions I've heard are the first thing you should do in a real fight!

So you've heard. How does that prove it would be effective?
- It's very hard to eye gouge. If you miss, you break your finger. If you hit, you most likely just make your opponent look away and grab your hand.
- It's not easy to hit a groin strike, nor any strike, and the pain is not that debilitating in a fight, not more than a broken rib or dislocated chin.

If you don't believe me that dirty tricks don't work, you don't need to take my word on it. Take a look at bullshido.com, where you'll find more than enough evidence. Just as one example, take vale tudo fights in Brazil before they were made in a sport with "no-dirty-tricks" rules.

Dirty attacks won't save you from a single fighter, let alone a group of people.
Many of the most popular accounts and aggregators will post "latergrams" and since the most popular photos are featured at the top, one should consider that the feed is realtime relative to when users post but not necessarily realtime relative to when photos were taken.

For example, in a big city like NYC you'll see shots posted with snow even in the middle of summer.
No, but if we leave today with a trip time of 1000 years and in 100 years we invent a way to travel .2c, then the people on the ship with the new tech will arrive in 120 years instead of 1000. Don't need FTL tech to make generation ships a silly prospect.

Well if you think about it we are capturing useful signals that move at relativistic speeds all the time.

Many galaxies we see are moving at very high speeds due to the expansion of the universe hence the doppler shift and we can take both optical and radio images of them.

I'm not an RF/Optical engineer but I would think that it would be possible to capture and send some data back to earth even its minimal it's still might be better than nothing / what we can get from earth/our solar system, at the end we only might have to account for the doppler shift.

IIRC there have been also other tricks like deploying very large sails and using them as drag chutes or using some mechanical trickery and deploying a very small probe by literally like having it on some pendulum and some other weird stuff so you would transfer most of the momentum it has to the probe and you'll release it with considerably less momentum than the rest of the spacecraft.
Then you also know that the VCL is a wrapper around the Win32 API, which is still present in Windows 10 and used by every native Windows desktop application on the planet, including .Net applications. So, how exactly is it legacy technology ?
Pretty much, yes. Longer strings should also match fewer times than short strings, which should also speed things up (because reporting a match has its own overhead associated with it, like printing text to the terminal).

Neon is actually less dense than Nitrogen. According to Wikipedia:

Nitrogen..Density at stp (0 °C and 101.325 kPa) : 1.251 g/L
Neon......Density at stp (0 °C and 101.325 kPa) : 0.9002 g/L

Nitrogen has a lower atomic number than Neon, but on the other hand Nitrogen is diatomic, which I imagine accounts for the greater density.

Neon is insanely expensive however.

I'm not going to be cynical here. I'm going to assume there are no sinister motives, that it's just a large corporation using its resources to get some good publicity.

Given that, what difference will this make? In the UK at least, even the poorest of areas has a well-stocked library. The problem isn't access to reading material, it's lack of desire and ability to read it. Those areas need more people actively teaching and encouraging kids to read what books are already there. If it started raining Kindles each containing 1000s of books, I don't imagine anything would change.

So is it different in Kenya and Seattle? Does demand for books outstrip supply?

NASA actually did do a feasibility study on the Terrestrial Planet Finder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_Planet_Finder) as a space-based telescope to find terrestial planets orbiting other stars, and one of the versions is an infrared interferometer flying in formation in space. Unfortunately, they never followed through with it (I'm guessing due to technical challenges).

I think in many ways, though, the self-taught guys are going to be very adaptive and resourceful to learn new things. The difference in knowledge can often be compared to a self-taught home cook and a formally-trained cook.

I once had an intern that was a CS master degree student and while he was tackling neural networks in school, I showed him how to link to a DLL 3-times in C++ and he still couldn't figure it out on his own. It also shows you having a CS degree doesn't mean anything.

I think CS though will tell you how it works.

The problem with Psychiatry is that it treats symptoms, not causes. The hope represented by this article is that by catching symptoms earlier, or by better pinpointing linguistic markers, vulnerable patients can be treated earlier with more-appropriate medications.

I think that it is much more important to find causes behind "mental disorders" than to describe them better.

From the article:

> According to Schwoebel, it took over 10 primary-care appointments before his brother was referred to a psychiatrist and eventually received a diagnosis. After that, he was put on one medication that didn’t work for him, and then another. In the years it took to get Schwoebel’s brother diagnosed and on an effective regimen, he experienced three psychotic breaks. For cases that call for medication, this led Schwoebel to wonder how to get a person on the right prescription, and at the right dose, faster.

What are the conditions that led this person to have a psychotic break? They didn't care, and just put Mr. Schwoebel's brother on maintenance medication for life. I suspect that such patients are usually 'exhausted' [1].

"How Psychiatry Lost Its Way: Identifying new mental disorders and their "curse" had become a productive industry; it is also bad medicine" [2], by Paul McHugh M.D., is very helpful for giving context to the mental health industry's status quo.

Not really. […]

You seem to have missed the last part where I wrote "for appropriate values of such things". I didn't claim that all type systems have the exact limitations of Go, but merely that all type systems have limitations.

Who says everything has to be machine-verified?

I don't know. Certainly not I. But I'm sure you agree that it would be nice if more things were.

Let machines verify what they can easily verify, then verify the rest by hand. Optimal division of labor.

Yeah, unfortunately there are some things that neither machines nor humans are great at checking. But I agree of course. My point is still simply that you are drawing the line between type safe and not type safe arbitrarily. There are type systems that are more advanced than ML's. Does that mean that ML's type system is not type safe? No, because the term type safe has no agreed upon meaning! It is, as I said to begin with, a subjective value judgment. It means simply a type system which you find comfortable and trust.
Google has some software called DeepDream. Basically, you give it images, and it amplifies any features that it thinks it recognizes. If the network is designed to recognize cat faces, then it will take an arbitrary picture and strengthen parts of the images to look more cat-face-like. It's essentially an image-recognition neural network run in reverse.
This is one of the most fun and informative programming posts I've seen on Hacker News recently. I also killed my wifi immediately after reading the article to play the game.
EEPROMs are mostly only used for CPLDs (very cheap very very small FPGAs)... "Big" FPGAs as used here use SRAM, and are rated to be reprogrammed 100s of thousands of times, but should last for millions. I have reprogrammed my Xilinx and Altera FPGAs hundreds of times over a course of a couple of days ;)

EDIT: I should note that in the case of using SRAM, the device would only be programmed as long as the device is powered on. You would use EEPROM even on large FPGAs if you have the same design to be flashed to the FPGA between reboots. I personally never use EEPROM for storing the design as I have my FPGAs constantly connected to a computer for programming. My main point is that the FPGA can be programmed a functionally infinite number of times, though if you want the design to remain through reboots through an external memory, the limitation is that external memory, not the FPGA itself.
Linus complained because CMOV converts a dependency breaking conditional jump with an high latency instruction which preserves dependencies. With the Pentium 4s of that era it was often a net loss as CMOV was particularly high latency (~6 clocks, low throughput), but today it is actually quite good (1 clock, high throughput on Skylake), and Linus is ok with it.
Yeah, I'm surprised the Neo4j team hasn't made more of an effort on this. I've run into lots of memory issues with it as well, and although there are reliable, fairly straightforward solutions to most of these problems, the team doesn't seem to be particularly interested in making sure that the defaults are robust enough to handle a reasonable workload. When your database fails on you for making a reasonable query request on a light workload, you can't help but feel troubled. There's a lot to love about Neo4j, but they've got a lot of work to do if they want to win over the developer community as a whole. There may be enterprises that get reassured by a huge price tag and a whole bunch of salespeople at their beck and call, but I don't know any of them. Every engineer I know who is willing to pay for software is either expecting a completely new kind of product or expecting to have an awesome experience with a free version of the tool before being willing to commit even a few bucks a month.
I'm confused. What are you saying requires memorization but "little mental effort"?
