Epicurus advocated learning as the best form of pleasure because you can't do it to excess very easily like you can with things like eating, drinking, etc.

The various helenistic schools of philosophy were all searching for what constituted virtue. They were quite explicitly after what was good about life and how to organize life around that. The fact you can understand every every human motivation in hedonistic terms is no coincidence; it's the justification for the philosophy, the reason there was a school of hedonism.

Er, sorry, I just meant that as "at some [early] point along the timeline of the possible developments in biomedical technology, the world would look like one where—at least early adopters—would need a machine to make children." I didn't mean to imply that there's some sort of imperative to go toward that point.

> there is a clear correlation between higher speeds and higher fatality rates

But according to the article, there is little or no correlation between the posted speed limit and the actual speeds at which people drive. So lowering the speed limit does not actually reduce fatality rates. But it does, as others have commented, creaet a misperception of what the actual expected speeds are on a road, which increases risk.

> Why not enforce speed limits more frequently so people obey them?

Because that would be way too expensive, not just in the increased cost of cops but in the lost time of all the people getting stopped even though they are driving at about the average speed of other drivers on the road--which, as the article notes, is the biggest factor in traffic safety.

The enforcement algorithm that most cops appear to actually use is to go after people who are going significantly faster than average, i.e., who are increasing the variance in speeds and therefore the risk of an accident.

> instead of punishing more people for driving irresponsibly?

This assumes that driving over the posted speed limit must equate to "driving irresponsibly". I strongly disagree with this assumption, and so, I suspect, do many others.

I always like comments where people are critical of a "sales pitch" while ignoring the fact that such an aCT exists because it communicates value and provides a person with info they need. In other words, sales pitches work.

I think my favorite "feature" of the FTP protocol has to be ASCII mangling, wherein the FTP server tries to mess around with line endings and text encoding mid-transfer. It's so bad that vsftpd, one of the better FTP servers for Linux systems, pretends to support it but silently refuses to perform the translation.

Ask HN: What makes you love the Bay Area?
Complaints about the Bay Area are well known. I'm interested in hearing about the things that the people of HN like most about the area. What do you think you won't find elsewhere? What keeps you in the area that you don't hear talked about very often?

I'm particularly interested to hear from people that have lived in other cities with healthy tech ecosystems. What made you stay? Or go back?

I'd also like to hear what people here think about the relative benefits of founding a startup in the Bay Area in 2017 against other hubs like NYC, Boston, or Seattle.

Being in NYC, the most common argument I hear against the Bay Area is that it's homogeneous. Living in a bubble. (We have the similar rent and traffic problems, so we have to focus on something else). And certainly, if the number of people working ostensibly in one industry is the measure, it is. But I wonder if it's actually true. A lot of the most intellectually interesting and surprising people I'm aware of seem to live in the area. What is your impression of this on the ground?
I'm sure you intended it as a joke but since it directly contradicts the facts I'm unable to see what you find humorous about it.
Piece of crap article. There's a difference between "thinking positively" and fantasising about how good your future life is going to be.

I'm not an expert in Barry Schwartz but I think you're​ just making his argument stronger.

Focusing on the usage of the term "engineer" when what was in discussion was the traffic lights, which was much important, shows such a shortsightness. Of course, everybody was just doing their job, just following the rules.
> Why not enforce speed limits more frequently so people obey them?

Personally, I prefer to see police enforce more meaningful laws and investigate crimes where there are actual victims involved.

What's capricious? They gave him a polite warning with an explanation and no penalty which he agreed to abide by, and then promptly broke. He only made it onto their radar because he contacted them in the first place to try and lean on a city that had issued a traffic ticket he was upset about.
Maybe not insightful, but it falls into the category of "obvious but not nearly enough people actually do it" alongside other things like flossing, saving for retirement, and checking array lengths. That sort of thing is definitely worth repeating.

To restate that: what precise type of disaster would destroy "technological civilization"—presumably, all traces of it, because it's pretty easy to bootstrap back up†—but not the human species itself? Because that's the only case where humans not being capable of non-technologically-assisted reproduction would matter.

† See the book The Knowledge, and then consider a world where you have access to not only that, but also hard copies of the US Patent filing database, and 6 billion people to parallelize the bootstrapping process across. (And even that ignores the amount of "skipping ahead" that just the existing knowledge already loaded into people's heads would enable.)

Unless we all got amnesia at once, and all lost the ability to read (and those who can, to read braille), we'd be back to civilization before the generation was over—and back to simple longevity-extending practices like freezing sperm and ova long before that.

I suppose you can sometimes do `mget x.csv` on FTP (if the client supports it?), but with wget you can do:

wget -r -A 'x.csv' https://example.org/

(where 'x' is an asterisk, but HN's formatting eats it)

More work, in the sense that it's more command line options to remember, I agree, but otherwise it's easier to integrate in scripts and much more flexible than mget.

(I don't miss FTP for the sysadmin side of maintaining those servers.)

That small town in Missouri was in fact violating the law, and as the article pointed out.
Yes. This is a reason why a lot of one way streets are being made into 2 way streets. And why closing streets temporarily increases traffic but decreases fatalities (and eventually decreases traffic)
Hey, I clarified the situation in the intro:

> In many cases, the evidence isn’t as strong as we’d like. Rather, it’s the best we’re aware of. We’ve tried to come to an all-considered view of what makes sense to try, given (i) the strength of the empirical evidence, (ii) whether it seems reasonable to us, (iii) the size of the potential upside, (iv) how widely applicable the advice is, and (v) the costs of trying. The details are given in the further reading we link to and the footnotes.

> We’ve put the advice roughly in order. The first items are easier and more widely applicable, so start with them, then move on to the more difficult areas later. The order is also partly based on an upcoming analysis of which skills are most valuable.

I agree some of the advice overlaps, but it's a little hard to avoid. Most of the areas are inter-related. I'd be interested in ideas on how to reorg.
Yes, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the parent's point.
While it may be more journalistically appealing to promote the "Microsoft uses pirated software" angle, keep in mind that cracked does not necessarily mean pirated. They could have paid for it, then cracked it to avoid things like lost hardware dongles or unavailable Internet licensing/activation servers; I've seen this a lot in things like industrial control software, where even brief outages can mean very high lost profits.
Ok, how can a Windows user defend himself from that?
Paying doesn't help. You end up with the money and your personal info gone.
The website slows down my chrome browser to the point where it lags and I have to backout.
If the evidence is in the footnotes (and further reading) then doesn't that mean it's not useless cliches?
That was actually the section I looked at most closely and suffers from the problem I'm describing. I've read getting things done, Zen to done, tried the pomodoro technique, read books on habit formation, tried apps like beeminder, habitRPG, etc.

All of these have their merits but implementing them consistently is the whole problem, merely being aware of their existence is not sufficient.
What makes you say that? What are some of the potential benefits?
You can't. This metadata is in the system binaries, which are cryptographically signed and can't be changed. Hopefully the article spurs Microsoft to fix it though.
this is an article reporting that somebody else wrote an article... In such cases, please submit the source article, per the guidelines.

Also, the original article already has a discussion on HN, so this is a dupe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14188342
I have seen offers or been given exact numbers from 3 of the 4 companies in your list at the "staff engineer" level or equivalent ("principal" at both amazon and microsoft), and they are nowhere near $500k/year.

I have heard that at FB and Google, a very small percentage of engineers got special stock awards a couple years ago that could put them in that range. But most top performers at these places at the senior/staff level are more in the 175-350 range.

Other than that, the only engineers making that kind of money got lucky in a startup lottery.
Many things aren't, but I think regular reminders are helpful and motivational for people. I've often thought that an app that continually interpreted situations and prodded people to make good decisions would seem like the end of humanity, but actually be helpful for many.

Peterson Center on Healthcare hiring full-stack engineer to transform healthcare
We're looking for a full-stack engineer who is passionate about improving the healthcare industry and loves technical challenges around data, behavior change, and user-centered design. We operate under the assumption that the future of healthcare is already here, just unevenly distributed. We're here to scale innovative care models that reduce cost and improve quality across the nation by building technology-enabled services. If we are successful with our first initiative in primary care we will save the healthcare system $300B. If you want to be our key technologist to kickstart this effort feel free to send over resumes / GitHub / LinkedIn profiles to careers@petersonhealthcare.org, or post here with any questions / comments.
What kind of infrastructure will this require? You'll need researchers to learn how such an object can be feasible, engineers to design it, people to construct it, parts must be ordered (some of which you might not even have the capability to make yourself), raw materials to make the parts must be mined, logistics must be done to make sure all of these parts are in the right place at the right time, enterprises must be constructed around building, selling, and marketing these devices.

What kind of power dynamics does that create? It involves the work of hundreds of thousands of people across every sort of country spanning the entire globe, many of whom hold a vast amount of power over you and the rest of whom have no obligation except financial to cooperate with you.

What exactly do we gain from giving so many people such vast power over us?
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has made it clear to everyone what guarantees of sovereignty, in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons are worth.

This doesn't actually answer the parent's question, though.
One downside to using Linkerd is that unless you have very few apps — or an overabundance of RAM — you can't realistically deploy it as a "sidecar container". The JVM consumes about 100MB of RAM, by their account; it's not lightweight.

The sidecar pattern (used by Envoy and by Google's new project, istio) is desirable in that it compartmentalizes the rules and logic in the pod that uses them, as opposed to sharing all settings across all apps. Zero dependencies (between pods) is a great way to manage complexity. I haven't thought much about it, but there might be latency benefits, too.
How is this any different from a human doing the same? The internet is meant to be open, it's free information after all. If you don't like it put your stuff behind a login
This simply isn't true. You seem to have read the abstract and made assumptions about the arguments of the paper.

Tegmark doesn't focus on the how; he spends the paper building an argument about what properties an observer must have.

It's very easy to call something you don't understand, or reject a priori, nonsense. But at least try to grapple with the argument and a make criticism with substance.
Nonsense is irrational, but not all irrational logic is nonsense.

How much did that cost you?
For sure. But they took time to explain the issue to him in an agreeable way, and then he broke the agreement. As a Euro myself, my experience is that many Americans' complaints about governance turn out to be, well, exaggerated. Of course one runs into unhelpful bureaucrats from time to time and some cases are egregious but on the whole it's not nearly as bad as you might imagine from reading discussions like that.

It's worth bearing in mind that there are multiple different legal philosophies at play in the USA, some of which have historically been violently opposed to each other. If you are interested in these social dynamics (and you probably should be at this point in history) then I strongly recommend American Nations by Colin Woodard as a guide for the perplexed.

I would love to hear the story behind this.
His addiction is beating high scores and achievement unlocking for virtually every game he plays on ipad or PC.

I suggest you look into 2xe resources. This sounds like my oldest child, until we figured out how to get him adequate accommodation. A child who is both gifted and has challenges is often enormously frustrated. They tend to go for the only thing that works to get them some relief from the boredom of a bright mind trapped behind barriers and treated like they are dumb.

I also will recommend that instead of trying to find him a non-language outlet that you focus on helping him overcome his receptive and expressive disorders enough to adequately connect with the world around him. This was the approach I took.

I addressed individual pieces of the puzzle. I got him to learn to talk through things. I taught grammar, vocabulary, typing, and all the different pieces of how to write separately. We homeschooled for a long time and the first five years, he was incredibly resistant to writing anything. I did as much as possible without requiring him to actually write (other than working some on his handwriting). Then he discovered FanFiction.net and wrote several thousand words the first few days.

It is important for the child to be interested. That is the motive. But a 2xe child also needs help overcoming a lot of different barriers.

I have sympathy for what you want to do here and why, but I think you have a lot different things backwards.

My son has a tremendous interest in video games. He blogs about it and he has taken up modding games, but it has taken a long time to get here. I know a little html and css and I was able to explain coding to him in a way that made sense to him. He already knew a little html because of some forum he participated in. When they changed what was available, he kept using the font colors and other effects he liked because he had memorized the code. He didn't yet understand that was "coding."

I don't remember the discussion he and I had about all that, but I do remember it was a big deal to him.

There are lots of things that can help kids like this. You haven't really given the kind of information that would allow me to tell you specific things you could try. But, generally, you want to try to help him overcome his weaknesses enough such that they don't prevent him from doing what he wants, help him finds ways to get around things he just can't do (because they often aren't actually pertinent anyway) and support his interests.

I found it really helpful to do personality profiles and learn about learning styles. Instead of treating my son as a handicapped child who couldn't do "normal" things, I treated him as an interesting, quirky kid who needed a custom fit approach. I think this generally works better and gets better results. I also think it is a more accurate concept for people who are different.

If you haven't heard of Temple Grandin, I suggest you google her and start reading books and articles by/about her. She is autistic and also very accomplished. Another good resource is the book "Children with Emerald Eyes."
