Ask HN: Somebody is manipulating the downvotes
I'm seeing my comments being instantly downvoted and the number is exactly the same each time.

What measures exist against high karma accounts downvoting the exact same username out of personal beef? I did mention Peter Thiel is gay (which he admitted publicly and I'm merely stating facts-please see my profile).

I was able to graph the time of the downvotes and map it across time and what I'm seeing is a clear pattern of willful downvote manipulation.

This is pretty disheartening, because I thought HN was an open and accepting place. Everyday, it's becoming more and more like Stackoverflow.

"A train equipped with positive train control uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and radio signals to find out what to expect on the track ahead, then figure out when it should start slowing down based on things like its own speed and weight."

The existing 1920s track circuit technology is simple and reliable. The train's wheels short the rails together, cutting off power to a relay at the end of the block, which sets signals behind the train to red. The classic system also detects broken rails and cars that are not part of trains. If someone leaves a freight car someplace, which happens, it's detected.

The classic system doesn't need GPS. The safety components ("vital" in signaling parlance) are very simple. The safety-related components are in trackside boxes along the right of way. There's lots of additional gear associated with dispatching and switching, and that's often centralized and computerized. But the basic train-presence detection and signal-setting is local.

There are later systems that still use track circuits, but provide more information to the driver and locomotive. These involve devices which sit between the rails and send signals to the train. Most of these are passive RFID-tag type devices. Some are wired into the signaling system.

The classic gear is old, but has a good track record.

Never buy trackside equipment from a place with a better climate than yours. - old railroad adage. The better railroad equipment suppliers used to be in upstate New York or Pittsburgh, where ice and snow are a normal part of life. Railroad equipment has to survive powerful snowplows, stuff dragging from trains, flamethrowers used to melt ice from switches, lightning strikes on the rails, machines which replace ties and ballast, and routine minor vandalism. There's a reason that gear is packaged in cast steel boxes.
In short, that is what ETCS level 3 will do in all of Europe. Level 2 is currently being adopted in big lines.
I've had horrible sleep my entire life, teens to adulthood. Started taking magnesium citrate supplements at night, using earplugs, and keeping a 100% hard wake-up time at 6:15 am. It's changed things drastically for me - I don't have to have a solid "bed time", I just go to bed when tired (usually 11pm). I fall asleep in 15 minutes compared to an hour. As long as I stick to waking up at 6:15am, I'm golden.

Learned this by doing CBT-I, where the therapist would start me off by forcing me to get 4 - 5 hours or less of sleep, and record how long it took me to fall asleep. Then I'd gradually go to bed earlier and earlier until I hit an 'optimal' point.

Latest interview with Monzo
Wow, never seen/heard of that movie. Really cool!!
Interesting topic, lots of sweeping generalizations being thrown around.

Personally, I've found my politics have not changed substantially as I've aged. As a 20 year old, I was liberal, and in my mid-30s with a mortgage and a family, I'm still quite liberal.

However, I've found my professional proclivities have changed. I value maintenance and conscientiousness much more than I once did. I think that's due to a few reasons. For one, I've been through a few big rewrites, and inevitably, I've seen them fail or be much harder than anticipated. But also, my focus has shifted from using cool new technologies to delivering value through working software. It's often much less effort to maintain and slowly improve software systems than it is to innovate your way out of a mountain of technical debt.

It's hard for businesses to understand this. Often, the expensive "A team" builds new software, while the cheaper "B team" maintains it, but the reality is that in short order, that software will effectively be written by the "B team". Software would last much longer and just function better in general if you kept the "A team" on to maintain, upgrade, refactor, etc.

Of course, this isn't totally business's fault, because maintenance is seen as a career killer. So if you try to have the "A team" maintain, many will leave for greener pastures where they get to build new systems in new tools.

As an industry, I wish we cared more about the longevity of systems, rather than what new tools are used. We seem to be impressed when we hear someone talk about building a new system in React, Elixir, and Kafka (or whatever's new and shiny at the moment), but nobody wants to hear someone talk about a system they built eight years ago in, say, Java that is still working well, still helping users, still meeting the needs of the business.

Much of Eistein's issues could have been due to degenerative issues. If he had everlasting youth, perhaps he would have had the energy and motivation to properly tackle the research in QM.

That and no one person is bigger than science, Even though Einstein opposed QM it kept making advancements. Imagine if Einstein spent even all this time opposing it, their theory would be even more rigorous and advanced. More likely we would have changed his mind at some point and actively contributed, why would a one time scientist be stubborn for many decades in the face of so much evidence?

I used to set the alarm to 7:45 and 8:00 (to be out of the door by 8:10). The ability to lightly sleep the last 15 minutes is very refreshing.

Well it's a matter of whether Apple wants the workstation market. Do they want it, warts and all? If they do, then they have to adapt. If it's not worth it for them, then just give it up. People are just not gonna buy non-upgradeable workstation desktop. The world has moved on. It's up to Apple to adapt.
Except they provide a official single-machine setup called minikube. Sadly minikube suffers from the same issue GP describes - it is just calling one of the existing automagic bootstrapping scripts against a local VM.

"shouldn't be", but is. Wishing something away doesn't actually make it go away. I'm a tech lead, not even a true manager, but I have to deal with kindergarten level emotional problems all of the time.

So what do I do? Fire everyone? Don't think that's a practical solution. Try to hire people who are easier to work with? Sure, but good luck. Hard to determine that during the interview process. I don't think telling people to 'grow up' is a real solution here.

I can see how you were probably trying to say that these medications are supposed to be used to empower the kind of changes you thought I was talking about.

However, I'm actually talking about society in general being depressive. About it being difficult to socialize because of distance, economic/social divides (real or imagined), the time spent at work (duration and even sometimes just the conflict) or because transportion is so bad/costly. There are also those who are stuck in some rural/suburban desert of contact and opportunity.

My ultimate point is that the /depression/ might actually exist for valid reasons. That in a pre-modern society this feeling could be a survival trait in driving an individual to leave a bad or over-populated area for new/different grounds. However modern society has closed off these historic reactions and has not replaced them with modern equivalents. Thus the subjects experience learned helplessness, as there isn't any way out and they thus give up on looking for or taking opportunities to have a way out.

This same lack of a visible, viable, and valued escape trajectory can also explain other contexts where subjects act against the rational interests of themselves and the communities that they seek to remain part of. For example, when I was describing the above class of scenario victims of abuse from those close to them (parents/spouses/etc) come to mind.

Turn Anything into a Touch Pad with Welle
You're right that track circuits are simple and relatively reliable, but they are also inefficient. Having to retain sufficient safety margins while being unaware of the real location of trains means that there is excess "dead space" in each signalling block that could be used to drive more trains over the existing infrastructure. It's what happens with systems like the DLR in London, which uses an advanced moving block system.

There is a tradeoff of course, but it's not at all clear that the simplicity of track circuits outweighs increased utilisation of the track.

IPFS can work just fine peer-to-peer over Websockets though, which pretty much look like a regular HTTPS connection. Other applications can make use of this too thanks to go-libp2p and js-libp2p.

Funny, indeed!

They supposedly had employees entering stuff into spreadsheets by hand. I recall that this was due to there being so many edge-cases, which made it difficult to automate processes.

The bigger problem I think with freight ever moving to self-driving is the legal liabilities involved. Consequences of even minor accidents are amplified with the size+mass involved.

We might see a hybrid system with auto-pilot doing the majority of the driving similar to how we currently fly planes, but I can't imagine how that would markedly improve the economic margins.
I think this is one of the main selling points about Elm - it's got conventions and it's got opinions. There's only one way to structure your app and it's the Elm way. That's a good thing when you're

1) building & growing the app - there's only way to grow and it must follow the same conventions as every other Elm app
2) bringing on developers - their main hurdle is the business logic itself and not the structure of the app
3) finding resources in the community - most everybody is traveling down the same road and can teach one another the lessons they've learned

How does this compares to other GPU database like BlazingDB?
You took a single study that showed an association and called it "proven". It hasn't been proven.
I think that's completely the right idea, but I don't think the difficulty in "self-driving" is the carless-ness of those highway roads. Highway roads tend to be easy because you don't have a lot of edge cases. Cars are always driving at roughy the same speed, and there aren't very many lights or intersections or bicyclists or pedestrians, etc.

Want safe returns? They're smaller but have less risk. Index funds, CD's, t-bonds. Want lots of money? You take a gamble.

Unless you are applying machine learning etc into higher freq trading, I'd avoid stock picks in general. The market thrives off little guys shoveling cash into the mouths of big movers who have faster connections and data sources (bloomberg terminals), know more, and move faster on info. Algorithmic trading accounted for over 85% of market volume in 2012!

If you are really interested though, I think the key differentiator for those who still pursue more risky options is hedging techniques.

I'm just a sysadmin learning data science and wanting to apply it to the market, only paper trading so far, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

[07:30]: Wake up naturally. Shower, shave, get dressed.

[08:15]: Walk 5-minutes with wife to work for breakfast.

[08:30]: Standup over breakfast with team, very boring.

[09:00]: Start working on new business outreach. Phone meetings and remote demos all morning in succession in large open space full of around 40 desks. I like the energy of the environment. I occasionally book a room if I want some space to work but mostly like the intensity.

[12:00]: Catered company lunch with buddies and/or wife

[12:30]: More work, same as before except more existing deal outreach and internal meetings in afternoon. Mostly go to a breakout space to get things done, peak energy during this time. This part is the most fun generally.

[17:30]: Walk 5 minutes home with wife. Sometimes take the long way.

[18:00]: Start and eat dinner, go for a walk again or to the gym.

[20:00]: Work on side project for 1-2 hours if time allows.

[21:30]: Read nonfiction with wife for an hour or two before bed.

[23:00]: Head to bed and hang out chatting before dozing off.

I do this everyday and would not change a thing with the exception of removing all formal training and most internal meetings and adding kids. Same as when I had a company except the part about nonfiction, side projects and standups was just grinding away instead.

Understatement of the year. Even in the US the number of deaths per year averages around half a dozen; you're about ten times as likely to be killed by a bolt of lightning.

From a people-safety perspective, encouraging people to use trains by making them convenient will have an overwhelmingly better impact than trying to improve train safety.

Not that they are mutually exclusive. But if you have a million dollars, I bet you save more lives by putting out a TV ad saying "Thinking of driving? Why not take the train?" than by upgrading a stretch of track. Or by using it to bribe popsci.com into not writing articles about trains subheaded with words like "frustrating", "delays", and "accidents".

No. The entire medical community does not agree. The argument that risk vs reward should be considered and the reward does not actually outweigh the risk is, to me, a pretty reasonable argument. No I don't like the procedure, any more than I like female circumcision or any other form of genital mutilation.

Especially in the US, circumcision is popular not because of any supposed health benefits, and not because of any religious reasons, but simply because it was initially popularized as a part of an anti-masturbation campaign hard fought by John Kellogg and his comrades (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellogg). In the modern world it has nothing to do with cleanliness or health. It is a savage and barbaric tradition passed down from generation to generation. Thankfully, the numbers are now starting to come down as people realize that taking a knife to their newborn sons' genitals is probably not a nice thing to do.
