"The Cleveland Clinic also offers “Energy Medicine” therapy, described as “practices [that] are based on the premise that by promoting balance and flow in the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energies, health and well-being are improved.” Among the conditions this supposedly treats, the hospital lists multiple sclerosis and hormone imbalances. Similarly, its Center for Integrative Medicine touts the benefits of reiki, a “hands-on natural healing” technique that redirects “universal life force energy.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, those benefits include enhancing the immune system and improved tissue healing, and its practitioners treat patients with cancer, Parkinson’s disease and other serious illnesses.

....I am all too aware of how frightening, exhausting, stressful and dispiriting illness and hospitalization can be. I am broadly in favor of hospitals offering a wide range of psychological, emotional and spiritual supports. Though I do not subscribe to it myself, if reiki helps patients cope with being sick, I’m not categorically opposed to it, any more than I would be opposed to a visit from a chaplain or counselor.

But it crosses an extremely important, bright line to call that kind of service “medicine,” or to ascribe a set of therapeutic benefits to it. Describing the manipulation of energy fields as a kind of treatment moves from evidence-based medicine into the realm of faith healing."
Not necessarily arbitrary, it could be subject to well defined rules.

And indeed, property is one such system wherein people are subject to seizure of assets according to particular rules.

Controlling ones own wealth also means there is a mechanism to seize it from anyone else.

Ask HN: Is Cordova still relevant?

New insights into why breast cancer drugs fail for some women
No there isn't.

Note that true democracy begins failing as soon as you begin leaving a small social group. By the time you get to the Dunbar Number, it's already failed and you have to move to some kind of representative system.

Even representative systems fail, however, and for the same reason: human social interactions don't scale. So you might get to a Dunbar Number squared level, and decrease the feedback time, and make it work up to half a million or so.

That's city or borough sized. From that point outwards it's just partisan power plays -- then you're really looking at how organized groups act -- which is a good reason to limit power more and more the larger the scale.

Office 2010 and with the latest version Office 2013 work flawlessly with Crossover on Linux (and Mac): https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Office_2013_and_2010_on_Linux...

The bottle system is amazing. It allows you to have multiple wine environments with different Windows versions seperated, so not just one Wine for all. Office 2003 runs on Windows XP, 2013 on a Vista env.

The bottles can be exported to RPM or DEB or shell installer for easy deployment as well. Plus the easy online database with appliations and profiles makes Crossover, for me at least, have a big advantage over bare Wine.
That is not relevant, it's about respect. A develop should respect "not interrupting a users workflow".

From the Dev prospective it's just a minor inconvenience/1 app, from the users perspective it may be 100 apps and the problem becomes a real pain in the ass. And there is no way to opt out.

Then the 1 star review makes sense, doesn't it?

That's right. There is almost no chance, in my opinion, that people in immigration-light areas voted to withdraw from the EU because they wanted to have fewer immigrants in those areas, simply because there are almost no immigrants in those areas anyway.

"Human rights" were introduced historically very recently, including concept of their inalienability. Concept of "justice" is much older. Thank you for clarification, I really like the word "inalienable".
From the article:

> I list [the lack of wealth redistribution] as a con because I think most people view it as one, but it’s not clear that it is one.

It is widely clear that its a con, especially in the advent of the current forces in the world. Global warming has made some places on the planet impossible to live on without wealth redistribution and technology gains largely go to the extremely talented or the extremely wealthy.

Furthermore "controlling your own wealth" is basically translatable to "doing whatever you want with stuff" which is so clearly a bad idea. Can I "control my wealth" towards bribing a politician? Can I "control my wealth" by burning a bunch of methane on a boat in the middle of the atlantic?

Property / wealth is an important institution for many reasons, and crypto-currencies should be tolerated for now, but if the world starts to show signs of regular kidnappings for BTC ransoms then we should use political action to put an end to the anonymity or lack of state control that they provide.
It was remarked on, just using different terms that weren't in use back in 1948 and generally not by the media who were complicit in the manipulation (and frequently the target of it).

The whole phenomenon of political correctness and the flattening of unrelated things into hate words e.g. how dislike of Islam (not a race) is now routinely called "racism" is all very reminiscent of how Big Brother set about restricting the space of what citizens could think by changing the language. Of course the strong Sapir-Whorf hypothesis has largely been discredited now, but the basic tendencies still exist. And lots of people have been expressing frustration with a PC culture for years, Trump simply realised that giving lip service to the concept of being anti-PC was far less effective than actually being anti-PC.

The way the administration manipulated the media through controlling access to press conferences, and then eventually abolishing media Q&A entirely, was remarked on at the time. But it was a subtle move that most people were not consciously aware of, they just felt at a subconscious level that the telescreens were more overtly propagandistic than in the past.
I think it's bad taste to do this kind of moderation.

We want to get the best information from HN and not advertisements.

This is a great tip. To make it compatible with most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and MS), you'll need to use the following checks:

hidden = 'hidden';
}
else if (typeof window.document.msHidden !== 'undefined') {
hidden = 'msHidden';
}
else if (typeof window.document.webkitHidden !== 'undefined') {
hidden = 'webkitHidden';
}

doVisualUpdates = !window.document[hidden];

How long do they take to grow big?
In my experience, the larger your codebase, the more you appreciate these features:

- a strong type system

- a pure functional language so you have referential transparity

- an IDE that helps you with refactoring

If your project is small than you can do without all of those, actually they might even slow you down.

When I read the article, I get the feeling that this particular team was working on a small codebase.

The strangest tangent from reading this article.

> George only has the new administration to thank

But George has been under the Earth for the longest time hasn't he? He couldn't be thankful for anything any more. Off to Wikipedia I go, yup since 1950 from tuberculosis.

But a section on the article mentions the his homophobia, and so I read that because I find it surprising that it's mentioned when it was the norm at the time and seems like some kind of revisionism.

That then leads to a segue on phrasing Orwell used in 1984 to describe the "nancy left" or "pansies", and the presence in the Chestnut Tree (at the end of the book) gay men.

Then another segue to David Bowie and his last album which contains "Girl Loves Me" as it references the Chestnut Tree and contains polari... and this morning on BBC 6 Music I had heard a long forgotten Morrissey track that was on an album called Bona Drag, and when I put the album on over breakfast I listened to the opening track "Piccadilly Palare" and some of the same strange phrases were present as in the Bowie track, and now I also recognise them from having read 1984 (except Orwell was using the slang phrases pejoratively).

A further segue as I remembered that Lucky Lisp from the same album has references also to polari, and on the Orwell wikipedia page there was a mention of the Chestnut Tree scene again, and how Orwell included a lisp for the "Nancy" characteristics which he identifies in detail and with "some disgust".

And this leads to the most fascinating Wiki discovery of the day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_lisp . The tested hypothesis being that sexual orientation of men can be determined from how gay men phonate their s's distinctively to the degree that measurements of guesses were accurate beyond a rate that could be chance.

The rabbit hole goes deep when one strays onto Wikipedia.
Facts are weird beasts. We are terrible at recognising facts, for a number of reasons. For a start people tend to confuse them with truth.

A fact is generally considered to be a proposition that is true. The problem is, science doesn't deal in what's true. Science deals in what's falsifiable.

Most things that are believed to be true aren't falsifiable, and therefore fall into the epistemologically nebulous category of "things which are not yet false". I'd suggest that trying to build a positivist bastion of truth on such shifting epistemological sands is doomed to fail.
It does in the context that the original referendum had a lot of official enforcement of the 'right' way to vote, and a second referendum would no doubt be accompanied by even stronger marketing.

Also, there are small, random influences on the referendum - any close election can give the result you want so long as it remains close, and you keep doing it until you win.

Sounds rather more like Karl Rove's "reality-based communities" — which was not praise:

> The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

I am using flask because you know, long string of development with flask over the years, your application is growing and then you hit some walls. I do not want to rewrite everything just for a couple of views within my application.

Flask with gunicorn has its own even loop and asyncio io another one and at the end it is hard to be sure if something is working because I am lucky or because it is the way to do things.

Anyway, thank you for your example, it is really clear and easy to understand! Maybe we need a flask like framework which is asyncio based. Which mean I will need to upgrade the code to Python 3 :)

This kind of article does not belong to Nature. It talks about what the media said as evidence , undefined alternative facts, how "Rejecting mainstream science has become a theme for Trump", yet the only fact presented is that tillerson acknowledged climate change. Other than the fair criticism of pushing fossil fuels, it's a purely political fluff article. Even editorials should be based on facts in Nature.

Developers have been using C and a bunch of other imperative languages for years. They obviously, created software two order magnitudes more complex than CockroachDB (or Docker, or Kubernetes, or etcd). We used to write entire operating systems in assembly, heavens forbid. Just look at the PostgreSQL codebase (all C) and compare that to cockroach DB.

Being "a better C" was the original battle cry of Go. It's definitely better than C (well, at least for some thing), but it doesn't mean all of these complex C software people used to write are toys.

Go is obviously not a useless toy language either. But that doesn't mean you won't miss features from more expressive languages. The amount of calls for generics from Go users tell a different story.
Coffeescript worked pretty great when using it on solo projects, because I could use the bits I liked (which where very nice) and ignore all the footguns that I didn't like. The problem as such was that any coffeescript I wrote turned out not be all that idiomatic.

Sorry if my footnote's sarcasm was unclear. I really liked coffeescript, I still do. It never had the support it needed to succeed but was a decent enough improvement to be worthwhile. Plus being included in the rails Gemfile was the shot across the bow transpilers needed.

However, I ask because I did try it for several months, and did not notice any effect other than the minor irritation of having to keep turning it off when I wanted to watch a film in the evening (and the constant malfunctioning of f.lux – although hopefully those issues would not be present in Night Shift).

I'm not sure I would be able to detect an improvement even if there is one though - there's too many confounding factors. So I'd like to see some evidence so I can make an informed decision.
