The part of my experience that seemed relevant to the article:

areas of the brain involved in social interactions used for attributing thoughts and feelings to other people - known as "theory-of-mind" tasks

...was that I noticed she wouldn't differentiate between whether something had actually happened or not. For example, she could get quite angry at someone for something they didn't do, just thinking they "might" do it.

Then again, maybe this personality aspect had been there all along and I had never noticed until the additional stress of having a new baby.

I couldn't agree more. The Surface Pro and Surface Book are in a completely different (lower) category of build quality compared to the new MBP. Also, the touchpads on the Surface products are nowhere near as good as I was led to expect from online comments. The Surface touchpads are passable at best by late 2016 standards and, again, are in a different category than the new MBP trackpads.
I far prefer my MBP but I used to have Dell CompleteCover or something like that and they sent a technician over to meet me in a new city I traveled to. I landed there, the guy arrived to fix it, replaced my motherboard, and gave me the fixed product while I spent my time doing other things. Fairly convenient.

Laptop was okay, though. Much rather have something that doesn't need that.
I think it's unwise to rely on a sound democratic rule-of-law culture to protect our right to encryption: there's nothing which says that a majority of people won't support a law banning strong encryption.
The US has adopted the metric system just as completely as, say, the UK has. (Watch UK television and look for how many times the script will say "miles" or "pints" or "pounds" for weight or even better, "stone"!)

The UK in daily use has as many imperial measurements left as the US does. Americans are just more honest with ourselves about it.

Did Amazon recently merge the retail 2FA TOTP setup and the AWS 2FA TOTP setup? My normal retail 2FA TOTP code failed, but my AWS code worked for getting me into the retail 2FA settings (and also into the AWS settings).

Which seems really odd to me. Because I know I had two separate 2FA TOTP seeds, one for AWS, one for retail.

Anyone else notice anything like this?

There isn't a correlation? I'll have to look more into that but it seems to me you picked the one notable exception. The cultural problems are describe are the symptoms of much larger problems, particularly systemic and deliberate deprivation of resources and opportunities for more than a century. You are correct to an extent though that part of that problem is political: the lack of political will to spend any amount of money and effort to seriously interrupt that vicious cycle.
Now if Lenovo would just build something that remotely competes with this I'd be begging them to take my money. I haven't found anything quad core and 15 inches from Lenovo that doesn't weigh a ton...oh...and that off center keyboard on Lenovo's 15 inch models! WTF?!

Lenovo is completely behind on offering anything remotely pro dev which competes with XPS 15 or MacBook Pro.

I got the XPS 15 9550 for my dad and he loves it.
Interesting finding. One of the problems with voting is that there is no incentive or a very small incentive to choose the candidate with the best policies, because the chance of your vote making a difference is so small. Therefore people vote for a candidate that makes them feel good, rather than a competent one. This is arguably the cause of many bad policies.

Shouldn't you at least ask what your friends and family intend to do with their computer?

Macs are great in general, but they're not great at everything, so you shouldn't just give a blanket recommendation for a Mac without considering how it's going to be used.
Do any HN readers actually "invest" in oil? I think plenty of us trade oil, but who actually goes long in something that is so volatile in response to things you have no control over(war, accidents, the list goes on)?

Oil's greatest investment potential is how volatile it actually is. Look at the charts for brent crude day-to-day, or jump back a step and look at the crude ETFs(sco/uco/and-friends). There is a lot of money to be made with that much volatility.

Back to the original question, does anyone here actually invest(as in hold long positions) in oil OR solar? If so, I am curious why you chose those particular investment vehicles, since they are technically(as in looking at the company's technical breakdown) bad long investments.

For traditionally GC'd languages you still need some way to track dependencies between separate heaps, which means that you end up with what is essentially overcomplicated generational GC. Handling inter-heap dependencies manually on the other hand gets you into space of hierarchical allocators (see samba's talloc or apache's apr_pool) which is something that still needs some kind of manual memory management.

Your anecdote is irrelevant because there is no _understanding_ to be gained by handwriting as opposed to typing.

Lithium batteries degrade. 15-20% capacity loss per year.

I'll correct you with empirical evidence: there are a ton of five year old Nissan Leafs that, by your math, shouldn't be able to pull out of their own driveway by now. My wife drives ours to work every day five years after we bought it.

There are ways to cheat though, design your battery electronics to pretend to have a lower capacity at first and then gradually allow them to discharge more and more as the battery ages.

After five years, given the geekery surrounding the Leaf and other EV, I'd be shocked that someone didn't figure out that the Leaf doesn't really have a 24Kwh battery.
In the UK, I've noticed remote working has become more and more common, particularly in the last 2 or 3 years.

I had MFA in my AWAS account using a hardware device. Just last night he battery finally wore out and I wasn't able to login. So I clicked the link saying I'm not able to login... and within 15 minutes amazon called me back to remove the MFA on the account. They asked for the email on the account, and to repeat back a code they emailed me.

So in the end, after thinking I was all secure with this special hardware one time token generating device, it falls back to email + phone, both of which can get taken over easily.
I think it's probably because Homebrew has all the obscure packages one might ever need, and packages in Homebrew are quite up-to-date even though it may not be extensively tested. For example, I use cocot quite often (for dealing with SJIS systems), and while cocot is in Homebrew, it's not in the Ubuntu's official repository.

> With XMPP and federated messaging servers they would have at least working infrastructure within their country.

Why do you think this is true? I can't see how federation is an answer to censorship. They would simply censor access to all the XMPP providers, just as they're censoring access to all the non-federated messengers.

Is your idea that people would spin up new providers so quickly that the censors wouldn't be able to keep up? Every time people switched, they'd have to rediscover their entire social network all over again, and there's an asymmetry between how difficult it is to get everyone over to different hosts while rediscovering where everyone is vs how easy it is for the censors to add a single line to their block list.

It'd be way easier just to have a centralized host and have people switch VPN providers as they get blocked, since then they don't have to rediscover each-other, but that isn't a great user experience either.

Just like with metadata hiding, really effective censorship circumvention is going to require new protocols and new techniques, so we're going to be more likely to see those emerge in centralized rather than federated systems (that are by their nature difficult to update). I think we'll be able to respond in Signal very quickly.
They performed this with and without that payment.

"This paper reports results from two novel experiments designed to distinguish sincere from expressive partisan differences in responses to factual questions. In both experiments, all subjects were asked factual questions, but some were given financial incentives to answer correctly. ... In our second experiment, we therefore implement a treatment in which subjects were offered incentives both for correct responses and for admitting that they did not know the correct response."

What about smart pointers? It gives the flexibility and benefits of garbage-collection without the performance degradation. It's not a silver bullet but it helps.

What I'm getting at is, Rust is the only modern language (in vogue at the moment) that does not use garbage collection. It would be nice if more languages didn't require a garbage collector but gave the option to use one.

If there are some more of such languages please chime in and provide a link to them! :)
Congrats on the launch! Glad to see more people working on these kinds of problems.

As someone who hasn't built one of these systems before... What does Razorfish give you that running Socket.io as a separate microservice that talks to your existing API service over an existing message queue doesn't? Is it for people with architectures that don't have an existing queuing or API services already? Or does it handle sharding the Socket.io part easily which usually has to be vertically scaled?

(Sorry if these questions don't make sense, I haven't dug into my requirements for these things yet but I know they're coming up!)

I think a very clear explanation of that would help me (and maybe others) understand its value and how hard it would be to roll your own here.

This entire discussion reminds me of Richard Carrier's book Proving History, where he uses Bayes Theorem to "prove" Jesus didn't exist. On the other hand, there's also William Lane Craig, who uses it to "prove" that Jesus was resurrected! I agree that Bayes Theorem is relevant to the study of history, but it is slightly funny to see atheists and apologists alike take it far beyond its original scope.

I think Sheen's trilemma - Jesus is either liar, lunatic, or God - doesn't take into account the complexity of early Christian beliefs. "God" is a pretty slippery concept. Was Jesus just an ordinary human, who God adopted as his son because of his righteousness - either at his birth, baptism, or resurrection? Was he some sort of angel who God sent to prepare for the apocalypse? Maybe he was God himself, who came down in human form. Perhaps he was so divine that he wasn't human at all. Or, maybe he had nothing to do with the God of Judaism, and was something completely different. There were many, many different interpretations of Jesus, which were reflected in early Christian churches and the New Testament. Which of these interpretations is "right" would I suppose depend on your personal theology and beliefs.

A few weeks after my car was stolen, another car appeared around the corner and looked to be abandoned (newer car, window left rolled down overnight for a few days) and I mentioned this to my mom. She's very community-minded and went and looked in the abandoned car. She found a letter inside the glove box with a name and looked the person up in the phone book. Nice old lady who confirmed it was her car and it had been stolen.

We learned from this lady that our neighbor's meth head twentysomething son had a girlfriend who lived in the same neighborhood as she did - where my stolen car was abandoned. A lazy cop would call that one hell of a coincidence. A motivated cop would have made the effort and rid the neighborhood of a pest who had graduated from petty crime to multiple felonies.

Just one example and honestly, what are the odds of all those pieces coming together, but it does show that selective enforcement isn't impressing anyone.

That depends on the underlying heap, Microsoft Low Fragmentation Heap is very fast for example.

Neil Patel is one of those "major players" in SEO and content marketing. I signed up once to see what he kept pitching, and it was the most obnoxious chain of emails and hard selling I've ever experienced.

> the dream was to live completely asynchronously and divorce oneself from the oppresive orthodox time keeping system

Words have lost all meaning.
That's true in any field though. Yet people are still able build their own cars, planes, design/fabricate their own chips and so on. I think its primarily because our tooling has also advanced allowing you to do stuff in your garage that previously could only be done at some factory. To take your example, all of those things are not really that hard. Mainly because a lot of those things are established standards (using the word loosely here, as with anything to do with the W3C) with existing implementations whose source is available. Its up to you to decide how much of the standard you would have to implement for a MVP.

Do you have a solid business career in accountancy, and wanna switch to grunt js work?

I know that accounting and crud apps are not "sexy" and boring.

But you know what is worse and more boring?

Using js!

Jah, sorry, I can't resist.

But honestly most "front-end" work is not amazing at all.

Maybe building visualizations, charts and stuff like that. But pages and apps in front-end is alike build forms, but harder, more complicated and with less performance than native code.

You have valuable skills that are higher than Js.
