Share your "proof"?
Skin color is a minor component of the actual makeup of race - but most of what "race" is, is political, economic and cultural. And skin color is a major factor in that regard, because it's an obvious way to discriminate between in and out groups.

When Obama was first running, there were discussions about whether or not he was "black enough" to really represent African American culture as President. Part of that was because of his upbringing (because, unfortunately, there is the perception that being educated, well spoken and wealthy is somehow antithetical to "true blackness") but part of it was the lightness of his skin color. It would have likely been easier for some people to accept his "white" background if he'd been physically darker.

You yourself correlated European with "white" in an earlier (probably still flagged) comment, so you know that references to skin color can seem intrinsic to many things to which it doesn't really apply.
Ask HN: How to learn new things better?
So in the spirit of new year's resolutions I'm planning to learn some new things this year; specifically, I want to to draw, and I want to at least get started learning Japanese. I'd also like to keep improving my skill at mahjong, which I picked up last year, and keep on learning tech-related things.

However, I find it pretty difficult to pick up new things. Learning to draw especially is pretty overwhelming for me; I have no idea how to start, as someone with no skill or experience in drawing whatsoever. Learning a language is also pretty intimidating, and it doesn't help that I find the usual way of learning languages (grinding flash cards) to be distinctly awful (not to mention I'm terrible at it).

As HN seems like a community where people love to learn new things, how do you guys go about things like these?
There are currently no good theories about why SR and GR hold true. They appear to be as fundamental as QM, but are totally independent of QM. QM always obeys SR/GR in terms of how spacetime behaves, and how mass affects things, etc, but there is no theory that says Relativity is true 'because of' QM (or emerging from QM), although that is a goal that is being searched for. It would be nice if either QM caused GR or vice versa, but no one has a clue how it could be true yet.
Looks like good guidelines overall, I just have one complaint

> Bad: We used various methods to isolate four samples.
> Better: We isolated four samples.

The first sentence is right if a different method was used to obtain different samples. This is relevant information
> It amazes me that Haskell takes my Python hack and actually allows it to be expressed quite naturally!

This isn't an accident. Python's list comprehensions were modeled on Haskell's list comprehensions, which were in turn modeled on the much more general concepts of monads. Haskell's do notation provides a nice syntactic sugar for monadic code. Since lists form a monad, such code is quite naturally expressed using do notation.

Haskell's list comprehensions can be directly translated to do notation

[x+y | x <- [1..10], y <- [1..10], x+y<5]

can be translated into

do x <- [1..10]
y <- [1..10]
guard (x+y<5)
return (x+y)

which is syntactic sugar for

[1..10] >>= (\x ->
[1..10] >>= (\y ->
guard (x+y<5) >>
return (x+y)))

where (>>=) is the monadic bind operator.
How did the proof you learned go? As far as I know, calculus is required to rigorously prove this fact.
I think it is reasonable to be skeptical of government claims but it is also important to clearly distinguish between these two cases. In the WMD situation the government was analyzing the actions of two third parties (the Hussein government and arms dealers) engaged in activities outside of the US. In this hacking situation these are actions being taken against US entities.

I don't believe anyone disputes that the DNC and other agencies "were compromised" (I'm sure John Podesta did not release all of his email voluntarily for example). So unlike the WMD scenario it seems incontrovertibly clear that some actor did do this.

A number of non-government people have identified the servers, malware, and techniques as originating either in Russia or the Ukraine. Krebs has written several times on gangs that have stolen credentials this way.

Finally people have signatures in their actions, they learn things in one way and they do things in that way. That has been true since the beginning of time. I remember identifying other Amateur Radio operators by the way in which they keyed code.

As a result, unlike the alleged WMD development efforts, I don't think anyone disagrees that various people were hacked, or that the groups that hacked them are associated with Russian and Ukrainian interests. The only question is whether or not they did so at the behest of their government or just for the lulz.

If anonymous were still around I expect they could get away with what ever pranks they wanted to play on Russian interests at the moment. The interesting question is whether the government would shield them from any Russian retaliation.
Metaknowledge sounds like a good match for "proper scoring" rules, where the score gives you an incentive to be honest about your predictions/judgments.

So in that sense, even if someone displays good metaknowledge for other restaurants, increasing their score, if they then register an inaccurate prediction/judgment about their own crappy restaurant, it would damage their own overall metaknowledge score.

Honestly, I've heard similar effects from just about everyone whose avoided any category of food for an extended time and then reintroduced a food that was in the avoided category (whether it's meat, sugar, or any of a number of other things.)

The effect you describe may be more a sign that eating things the body isn't prepared for are disruptive, rather than the harmfulness of the particular avoided food. (Even where the avoided food actually is harmful.)
The best way to explain emergence, is with an example, imo. The classic example is to look at Conways' Game of Life, and ask yourself what God must have 'designed' the 'lifeforms' that appear in it. Where is their behaviors encoded into reality to make them become real (i.e. happen). The answer is that they are not specifically designed but instead 'emerge'. Not that your snarky 4 word joke of a post deserved a response though. This is for others, not you.
Scientific method. The great majority don't understand even that fundamental of science, and thus they cannot utilize it themselves, many do not trust it, they don't understand the epistemological problems it addresses, and they don't understand what terms like 'study', 'theory', etc. really mean.

I suspect the answer is similar to why a macaque can't play billiards even though it is physically capable of it.

It's not like macaque monkeys don't "speak" to each other, they do make sounds that indicate certain things that other monkeys understand. They just don't have the cognitive ability for language. It's too complex and abstract for them.

Similarly, they can manipulate a pool cue and even knock balls around a table with it potentially. But they can't actually understand the rules or play the game effectively, even though they can be taught rules of much more simple "games" like "press the red button and get a treat, press the blue button and get nothing."

“The law’s totally on my side," the president-elect told the Times. "The president can’t have a conflict of interest.” Translation: When this president does it, that means it is not illegal. Unlike Nixon, however, I'm starting to worry that Trump's going to get away with this.

/r/keto is a great community (and diet!) Go look at some of the success-story posts. I personally lost 11lb recently (in ~2 months) just by excluding carbs and setting a calorie limit. I found quitting sugar quite easy, as I felt so satiated from the fats and protein.

However, I fell off due to emotional reasons. Personally, I have to be in a 100% sound frame of mind to stick to it - there's just so many carbs everywhere, it's easy to fall off.
> And it's also how you end up with weekends, benefits, worker protection, full-time employment and reasonable wages.

This will only apply to the top 10% of Union workers. The workers who came late (or the majority of Uber drivers) will receive less pay, have less power, work longer hours, and fewer benefits than the "senior" drivers. Do you really think unions will help everyone? They, just like everything else in this world, are designed to benefit the top.

Not sure what the author means by "THE alphabet". We have substantial evidence now that the Vedas were written in 2500 BC or earlier, using Devanagari - an advanced script / alphabet system used even today. So surely, "THE" alphabet was invented much before that - somewhere around 3500 BC I would surmise.
"If spamming the user with popups and emails makes them click and buy more, adding more of it is making the site more user friendly."

That's a generous interpretation of "user friendly." If a user genuinely wanted those things, then yes it's truly an improvement. If users didn't want them but got the impression pop-ups and emails were required then it's more debatable. Put another way, paying for things is not user friendly, but without doing so there would be less worthy of buying.

Well at least one US president actually did nuke civilians, on purpose, twice, instead of merely talking about it. Another fire bombed them. And that's even before Vietnam, Laos, Iraq, or drone assassinations where any civilian can just be labeled as non-civilian by the government without much proof or oversight.

Because your hidden assumption is that business is worth having only if it is keeping you busy or that adding new features might prevent obsolescence.

What he has is something that hasn't been taking a lot of his time with a fairly stable customer base of people like me, who pay for the service because what is does is useful enough for me and not because somebody on the other side is working his ass off.

It is a widespread belief that you should add features to prevent users either getting bored with your service or to diversify into other groups. What is rarely appreciated is that new features are a cost that may drive current users away when they dilute a product. If you solve a problem well for a large enough group of people, it may be sensible to just step away from the keyboard.

> QM always obeys SR/GR in terms of how spacetime behaves, and how mass affects things, etc.

We still haven't experimentally verified how gravity works on atomic scales, though, have we? I consider it completely plausible that it works differently than GR postulates, because to me (non-physicist here) GR seems to be a "large numbers" phenomenon and assumes space possesses certain properties that it may very well not possess on small scales (e.g. any kind of smoothness or even continuity).
It's great that you have the privilege of sufficient spare time to allocate towards exercise and the luck to avoid any conflicting medical problems. Investing in your own health with regular exercise and an improved diet will hopefully lead to fewer problems later in life.

However, please remember that some people are not as privileged. Free time is not always available. Good food - and sufficient time to prepare it - isn't always available either. Life is complicated and work, kids, and other important obligations take priority for many people.

> Eating less costs less.

Eating less doesn't always lead to better health. Nutrition is complicated.

> there only question is if you want it or not.

Do you also tell people with a broken leg that they could walk if the wanted to? Staying healthy is not a matter of willpower and/or education. Staying healthy isn't even deterministic, because our knowledge of medicine, nutrition, etc is still imperfect.

Ted Chiang wrote a short story, "The Evolution of Human Science", about that idea.

If I recall, the main premise was that new parents could choose to give their children a neurodevelopmental drug that would cause vastly increased intellectual prowess at the cost of gradually losing their connection to human society to the point of indecipherability.

I think it was a bit heavy-handed. But maybe I'm not remembering the story correctly.
They're all just attempts to simplify. Actual balanced diet and nutrition is really conplicated and has no formal fast rules. Picking an ingredient (sugar) or macronutrient (carbs, protein) and demonizing it makes the story simple, and something that someone with no interest in nutrition can follow.

"Eat all things in moderation" I think is good advice, but it's too vague for anyone to take it.

So we can expect at least a few more generations of bogus diet books before people will accept nutritionally balanced human chow, which is the true simple way to do it right. :)

The problem with eating out is often you don't know what ingredients they are using. Does the bread they use have added sugar. Is the dressing on that salad full of sugar? There are so many unknowns with eating out, that it is not easy to avoid sugar when eating out. Generally speaking, food that you did not make, is going to likely have unwanted sugars.

Buying fresh is not exactly easy because that means going to the grocery store every day or thereabouts. I'm not going to argue that buying and eating fresh food isn't better for you, but it is certainly not easier.

It takes some practice to find the foods that work for you that don't have added sugar. It does get easier, but I would not say it is an easy diet considering how much food you need to avoid.
