The Nazis practised their methods of genocide on people with learning disability or severe mental illness in the T4 programme.

Gas chambers disguised as showers, with nozzles that dispensed gas not water, were first used on people with learning disability.

> The doomed were bused to killing centers in Germany and Austria walled-in fortresses, mostly former psychiatric hospitals, castles, and a former prison — at Hartheim, Sonnenstein, Grafeneck, Bernburg, Hadamar, and Brandenburg. In the beginning, patients were killed by lethal injection. But by 1940, Hitler, on the advice of Dr. Werner Heyde, suggested that carbon monoxide gas be used as the preferred method of killing. Experimental gassings had first been carried out at Brandenburg Prison in 1939. There, gas chambers were disguised as showers complete with fake nozzles in order to deceive victims — prototypes of the killing centers' facilities built in occupied Poland later in the war.

> Again, following procedures that would later be instituted in the extermination camps, workers removed the corpses from the chambers, extracted gold teeth, then burned large numbers of bodies together in crematoria. Urns filled with ashes were prepared in the event the family of the deceased requested the remains. Physicians using fake names prepared death certificates falsifying the cause of death, and sent letters of condolences to relatives.

> Meticulous records discovered after the war documented 70,273 deaths by gassing at the six "euthanasia" centers between January 1940 and August 1941. (This total included up to 5,000 Jews; all Jewish mental patients were killed regardless of their ability to work or the seriousness of their illness.) A detailed report also recorded the estimated savings from the killing of institutionalized patients.

Think American TV would really benefit from realising when to end a comedy on a high note.

See it time and time again where popular sitcoms sit around way beyond their stay, end up repeating the same tired stuff over and over and have more in common with a stale soap opera than a sitcom.

If you asked someone to list the top ten British sitcoms few would have more than 2 seasons and you'd struggle to find one with more than 3 seasons (and some that only have about 12 episodes in total)

In the Netherlands you can buy "Unlimited Everything" plans for €35 a month. This means unlimited Calls, texts, data in the entire EU. I think the EU part is capped to 10gb a month after the first 2 months you spend outside NL.

In NL, it will stay unlimited the entire year. The prices some people posting here are paying are ridiculous.

And FYI: the EU mandates that you can use calls/texts/data from your own, local plan in the entire EU for up to 60 days every year. Without any additional costs. (finally)

Interesting, how about adding them into a graph and show it on a weekly basis? I always wondered, plus if you could do something like avg salary and such... and evolution.
Also to take in consideration the country and inflation over there, plays a big role.

I was thinking the same thought :-)
Discriminating against someone because of their gender is wrong, not just bad manners. "It's not wrong because nothing is truly wrong" is surely an excuse of last resort. I don't see anyone on here bringing that point up when people are complaining about NSA surveillance or some other hacker cause célèbre.
Look up usufruct and Jefferson's views on the topic. He believed that when a person dies their property should become community owned. He didn't think the next generation ought to be bound by the previous generation's wishes. Jefferson qualifies as American.

> is most likely that blue collar jobs usually don't include great healthcare plans

Maybe. But there is also lifestyle to consider. I've noticed that blue-collar folks are often the joe-sixpack type. Even with the physical aspect of their jobs, they have poor diets (by choice) and drink a lot.
But we're talking about health, not muscle mass.
I don't think stupidhn is advancing that logic as an argument for why Uber should be let off. I think they're saying that many people on HN are part of the (disruptive, gig-economy, resource-sharing) startup ecosystem and would be adversely affected by Uber failing, directly or indirectly; so they are either choosing to let them off or subconsciously predisposed to support Uber.

It's basically the same as the famous Upton Sinclair quote: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

I'm not saying I agree with the point, but my interpretation is different from yours. To your point, it is somewhat similar to saying, "Why haven't we found a cure for cancer? Because too many oncologists are dependent on the cancer treatment ecosystem." It's not exactly the same, for many reasons, but there is a similar line of possibly-specious reasoning.
There's a small difference: "lifespan mobility" as you call it is not something where you see changes for yourself within your life - it is measured once, when you die.

Income mobility affects you your entire life, and where you are is measured constantly. So no, it's not a good thing - because it means that if you're born poor, you stay poor. Calling it a good thing is the same thing as saying "more babies dying is great, it evens out the distribution to be more uniform, it's a good thing!"

And no, the distribution is not "uniform". If you bother to look at the data at all, you'll see that it approaches a pareto distribution. Awesome if you happen to be one of the few rich or well-off. Sucks if you're one of the vast majority of people who barely make ends meet, and who are now, due to decreased mobility, stuck there for the rest of their lives.

Decreased income mobility is only good for people who have a good income. And those are currently significantly outnumbered by people who don't. Traditionally, situations like this tend to end in war, revolution, or dictatorships. Really not what I'd file in the "good thing" category.

The only way to make it a good thing is to increase the amount of people with a liveable income. Hence all the discussion around universal basic income going on recently. But until that (or some other kind of reduction of inequality has happened), reduced mobility is really, really, really bad.

Fantastic essay, and I think the same teaching could be applied to so many other skills needed to succeed as well. When people talk about academia as an ivory tower, this is exactly what they mean. Academia seems to be utterly focused on "cool ideas" and "intellectual exploration", and they really short-change the nitty-gritty skills that may not be as intellectually stimulating, but are still absolutely needed to get stuff done.

To give another example, anyone who's working in a programming context can boost their productivity by knowing how to set up their aliases, learning the basics of unix tools such as grep, and mastering a good text-editor/IDE such as vim/emacs/intellij. And yet, after 4 years in college, I didn't know a single thing about any of the above, and slowly picked up bits and pieces randomly over the course of my career. If a professor could have taught the above in a intro-to-engineering course, it would have saved us countless hours and allowed us to hit the ground running.

Why wouldn't they want Uber to be massively successful? This way they get both a big cash payout plus their equity stake in Uber rockets to the moon.

Accusing Google of the recent spate of bad PR is bizarre to me. There are plenty of players that have a much higher vested interest in dooming Uber than Google.
I've heard of top-down and bottom-up design, and what you're describing sounds like top-down debugging, in contrast to "open the debugger at the first bug" -- bottom-up debugging?

They're both great, like having two sets of teeth to grind problems down to a fine digestible paste.

My software engineering prof encouraged us to use both approaches to programming. The analogy to teeth, however, is my own.

I've read The Road twice. First as a son, then as a father. My dad and I went though some crap I couldn't grasp when I was young. The book made me feel like I could finally understand what he was going through. Why he did what he did. I've never had a book change me like the road had.

I read it again when my son was 4 months old. That's when I finally understood, at a visceral level, what it means to carry the fire. I think we're both going to be better because of it.

I will read the book one more time after my dad passes.
I went to university when few people had their own PC. It's true there was no catalog class in debugging but we all got very good instruction and learned many techniques in the lab, especially from the lab TAs. I would suggest the author seek out where the comp sci students congregate these days and talk through issues there.

I then went to senior centers with business cards and flyers. All managers there were excited about the idea and happy to let me post a few flyers and distribute business cards.
Oh, yeah, I forgot that time Uber killed my grandmother and almost killed my aunt. This changes everything. Great comparison!

By the way, you didn't answer my question about whether you're aghast by the way your post could be misinterpreted.
I want to couch this in the statement that I understand the sentiment: Seemingly unimportant or trivial things _do_ still have value, usually in their small contribution to the whole.

With that said, the motorcycle is clearly not value-less without the screw the same way it is not value-less without a rider.

The instant you dismount the motorcycle it is no longer physically capable of performing its function. Yet it of course still has value.
Because it isn't about the bicycle. What are you doing, right now? (Besides posting on the internet). What are you working towards?

That's the bicycle.

And if you are spending your time working on it or towards it, then that means it is something you value.

And if it is something you value, then "becoming one with it" as you put it, will allow you to both do better at the task/goal, as well as reap a more rewarding experience from pursuing that task/goal.

You could take the opposite approach, and not truly value any thing that you do, but I a) am not sure that could be rewarding and b) am not sure that is possible. As DFW said, everybody worships something, whether they know it or not. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI)

So the book takes the opposite perspective. It says, well, whatever you are working on is what you value. Whatever you spend your time on is what you value. And if you can remember to truly embrace the things you value, or conversely, ensure you spend your time pursuing the things you truly value, then your experiences towards those topics/goals/tasks will be more rewarding and as a result, your life can be more enriching as well.
It's bullshit
States are moving to cut college costs by introducing open-source textbooks
I'm for speed bumps, but the equation is life years saved minus years taken. The subtraction part comes from shorter life spans due to increased air pollution, from deaths caused by speed bumps, from emergency vehicles having to drive slower in time-critical situations etc.
There's a correlation problem here though. Maybe they have become less active as they have become slower
Maybe elsewhere. My specific examples were inexperience leads to massive time inefficiency which is hardly limited to age, and young people are sometimes a bit inconsiderate of others which seems so universal its not even a bash, almost a definition of being youthful, could be filed as social inexperience. If I wanted to imply they're stupid I'd falsely claim they just don't have the IQ/mental horsepower to figure it out, or they can't generalize that a lot of CLI recursive options tend to be dash-R, or they can't remember and have to look it up every time. But I didn't...

The meta observation is inexperience can lead to not understanding critique. Which again is not even a "youth" thing.
How is something "community owned"? Is it owned by the state? So eventually everything is owned by the state?
If I were programming as a profession I'd consider it, but $200/year is more than I'm willing to spend on an IDE for a hobby. Especially since I'm writing more C/C++ than Python lately.

S1Search – Inverted Index database engine powering SlicingDice
I haven't seen anyone mention the following yet, and it's INCREDIBLY important!

When something is not working right and you have to debug it, you need to re-evaluate your abstractions and drop down a level in your technology stack.

In Dan's case, he had to look at, and think about how the logic gates worked.

In a more modern case, when your REST calls aren't working right, you may have to debug HTTPS stuff.

If your HTTPS stuff isn't working you may have to look at key negotiation and exchange, etc etc.

If your Entity Framework isn't working, you may have to (horrors!) look at what's going on with the database.

If the database isn't working, you may have to (gasp!) look at the hardware it's running on.

Too often people look at surrounding code or state, and do not verify the abstractions of lower-level code or hardware. Those things have "always worked" - it's never the compiler's fault, until it is (or a bad assumption of how the compiler works)

I've seen people here talk about iterating, which is fine and good for many problems. For many debugging problems iterating will take you until the heat death of the universe to solve.

I don't really think "fullstack" devs are always the best solution, or a scale-able approach to development; but a fullstack dev with a debugging background is hard to beat when you have problems.

Edit: To put it another way: If your technology isn't working, you have to examine the engineering under it. If the engineering isn't working, you have to examine the science. If the science isn't working, you have bad assumptions, or you've found new science! (you probably have bad assumptions)

Okay cool. Good to know that you don't need to use Redux in conjunction with AsyncStorage. I also like SQLite, so I'll investigate that as well.

I agree that it is not a true backdoor, but I am simply pointing out that the goal is accomplished by hoarding 0-days or creating an actual backdoor.

The 0-day you were not reporting gave you escalated access to iOS devices. If Apple had given you a backdoor, you would have had the exact same access to the device.

Not saying its the same thing, which is why I used "de facto". The government just wants the access. Regardless the hole is intentional or unintentional, if a hole exists, then overall security is weakened
Then I bieleve the argument still stands. Universities would teach knowledge better if they spent a comparatively tiny amount of time teaching appropriate skills, as it would get students ready to learn.

The author demonstrated this point by showing how his classes could help students learn better.

We can then debate about whether having successful students is a positive thing to have for universities, but Dan Luu clearly seems to think it is.
There are plenty of good reasons to avoid app server state (and thus session affinity), among them: Inefficiently imbalanced load balancing can affect performance and reliability, app server changes (service restart, reboot, scale down) will drop state causing interruptions (often user visible), etc.

If you don't want unused memory on your app servers, don't provision it. :-)

I mainly use two different sized old school Mokka Express aluminum cans from Bialetti. Super cheap (got both for less than 20$) and very small/easy to handle and clean. Plus: the coffee tastes great.

I hate direct exercising, ie running around my local area or going to the gym.
