Like your parent, I haven't had any issues ever accessing submissions from the Atlantic. Of course, that doesn't mean, that you're not having issues. Just today someone mentioned that they're able to access WSJ articles using the web link, while I'm not able to do so.

With respect to this (and other submissions from the Atlantic Monthly), I've never needed to use the web link. Submissions from the Atlantic Monthly are quite frequent on HN. I can't recall reading of anyone else having issues.

Does the "web" link (beneath the submission title between the "past" and "comments" links) work for you?

And yet, at the end of the day, it doesn't refute the overly inclusive legalese. If they are not going to back up any of their claims with proper legal limits, then I can't trust any of what came before that in the post.

From your linked post:

They are not going to change their legal rights, but they want to smooth ruffled feathers. In a year, or five years, when leadership changes or the company is acquired.. there's nothing to protect me.

Hm.

Parkinson's patients sometimes have tremors, but all tremors are not Parkinson's. The physiological explanation of Parkinson's "firing off wrong signals to muscles" is not correct.

Parkinson's disease is defined primarily by bradykinesia and limb rigidity - the difficulty of the motor planning part of the brain processing motor commands to the motor cortex. Much of the disability in Parkinson's disease comes from a patient's brain not being able to come up with motor commands fast enough, resulting in wooden, statue-like movement and gait instability (i.e. coming up with motor commands fast enough to maintain upright balance).

Of interest - while tremors (i.e. essential tremors, action tremors, rubral tremors) can limit function, the interesting part of Parkinsonian tremors are that the vast majority of them are "resting tremors," i.e. they go away with action and thus are not the limiting factor of writing. Most Parkinson's patients complain, rather, of the bradykinesia (motor command issues) causing micrographia, or excessively small and unreadable handwriting.

Anyway, I am not sure what diagnosis Emma actually has - it may be what is known as a "tremor predominant" Parkinson's disease (which overlaps a bit with essential tremor, another neurological movement disorder). It may very well be essential tremor. Or it may be a dystonic tremor which responds, bizarrely, to weird sensory cues, i.e. "gestes antagonistes". If the watch with its vibrating counterweights works for her, great. For most of our Parkinson's patients, it doesn't solve their main issue which is the inability to move or walk, or at least do so well.

Not to mention the cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease which is a whole other can of worms.

Of note: Parkinsonian and essential tremors respond extremely well to implantable deep brain stimulators...that is a whole other topic as well.

There is an acquisition bias inherent in this article.

Reading 40 hours a week should not be viewed as an unadulterated good that is beneficial in all cases. I've known people who have escaped into reading with that kind of time commitment, at the cost of being able to function well in the real world. I don't judge their choice, but only note the correlation. A bell curve has two tails.

Personally, I've found that two hours a day is the max I can do without starting to get itchy that I'm wasting time by not doing anything. It's fine to get smarter, but, for me, at least, I feel like I have to do something with the smarts.

> Using proprietary operating systems because Linux isn't there yet is a great way to keep Linux from getting there. It's a chicken and egg problem. What would you prefer: getting your privacy thourougly invaded by a proprietary operating system, or being there to help Linux gain market share and tip the scales? Even if it's not perfect, it's more than enough, and supporting it is the best choice.

The vast majority of people out there see computers (and other devices) as things that get stuff done, right now. They couldn't care less about proprietary vs open source, and the philosophy and the politics of the latter.

So there will never be a critical mass that will tip the scales, ever. You'll get the geeks going there because they care, trying to live with the inconveniences for a while, and then mostly going back to OS X (or even Windows), because they find other things to care about, and stop feeling like struggling with xorg.conf or NetworkManager or whatever is meaningfully "fighting against the system".
Shoddy or realistic? I'd hope more security researchers work with systems that aren't perfectly configured because they won't be in the real world.

I know child abuse images will get you silently reported to LEO (as well as anyone who views the link), but I'm not sure about copyrighted content. Personally, I would refrain from storing any pirated songs or movies on Dropbox, since I think they'd be amenable to bulk snitching to large copyright holders.

I don't see much support for that power hierarchy... Surly, CEOs are high-value targets for any number of people or organisations because, almost by definition, they have both power and money.

And I can think of an endless number of schemes that are actively used to influence them: asking them to sign pledges, protests, charity dinners, awarding prices and other honours for certain behaviours–these are just for political goals. For marketing, they obviously get bombarded with advertisement as much as anyone else. Airline miles are an example that comes to mind as top-heavy targeting.

As to "have a sense of when someone is trying to manipulate me" I am only reminded of all those surveys that fail to find anyone who says "advertisement works on me". In fact, the "nudging" the article talks about isn't really about advertisement. The classic example is the small image of a housefly in a urinal, which vastly improved peoples' aim. Are you sure you can, and want, to escape that sort of messaging?

I still don't get why he was taking nootropics when he wasn't doing anything technical. In fact I'm not entirely sure what he was doing, at all. He seemed to want to "start a startup" without knowing what he was building, for whom, to solve what problem, or what kind of value he was aiming to create.

The biggest red flag to me was that they tried start a startup to which (as far as I could tell) neither founder brought any actual useful skills. You can get away with that sometimes if you have huge funding and can work the hype machine, but not as a pair of self-funded kids.

(As an aside, point 8 'Go Lean' is basically saying "push your risks/costs onto others, exploit your workers, better yet partner with someone who has skills so they can do the work for you." I've met guys who (try to) work like that and they're leeches.)
No one disputes the quantitative benefits of increasing liquidity. But I've yet to see it quantified in a mathematically rigorous way.

Can anyone explain how the market forces of the real estate market would address this? I assume flood-risk property will become less valuable long before it actually floods, and insurance will become more expensive or unobtainable before it floods too.

Python-Fire: Automatically Generate CLIs from Python Objects
When my family moved to the Bay Area we owned a home. Rather than sell, we engaged a property manager to rent it out. We had a few years of excellent income from that which essentially paid the PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) on our FHA-financed home (including holding a "reserve" for repairs, vacancy, etc.) plus a (very small) profit. It definitely lit a fire in my belly to switch out. I find software development to be incredibly boring and, worse, having a higher quotient of immature and unjustifiably arrogant people than I find myself able to tolerate lately.

I haven't made the switch just yet, because I want a slightly larger bank account before I draw down from it to finance a couple of purchases. I've also basically self-taught for a real estate license. One doesn't need the license to buy and sell real estate for oneself, but the knowledge is very handy and I may get a license anyway just to be able to work with an agency for the experience of it. Doing this sort of thing requires one to build skills that translate to any industry (sales, "people skills", etc.).
There much more stories about how they wrote it. Eg. the story about the orchestra. They booked the strings for a few days, but only had an idea of the downgoing glissando. He explained it to them, but they just stared. What does he mean? Which tones? So he took some empty note sheets, marked the beginning and the end and then drew a straight line from the top left to the bottom right, which was not easy because it spanned multiple lines. Now they got it. And they could play it now easily.

Also the Andy Warhol story. He made a painting of the crashed Lotus, the one they saw in the newspaper. I saw it live in my hometown's Warhol exhibition. This was quite a moment. Not even the curator knew about "A Day in the life" but it was so obvious.
Assuming you aren't glorifying anything, that seems amazing! I'll definitely have to try it out.
Ask HN: What is the future of vector instructions?
Writing performant numerical code for CPUs requires using vector instruction sets like AVX. With these instruction it is up to the compiler/programmer to vectorize the sequential program and deal with things like scatter/gather memory access or masks to deal with control divergence. On the other hand GPU's offer a cleaner multithreaded programming model with the mapping to vectorized form being done at runtime in hardware. And as the GPU's get more sophisticated controls, this mapping will become even more transparent performance-wise. Yet GPUs remain competitive with CPUs in terms of price and energy consumption.

Given this, can we expect CPU instruction sets to move away from explicit vectors and expose a GPU-like interface for parallel numerical work with the advantage that this GPU-like would be on the same chip and share the same cache with the more serial-oriented parts of the CPU?
At enterprise Java shops it is business as usual.

I've been working on Mobile Development for about 3 years. I've simply gotten bored of it. I'm good at it and enjoy solving the problems which come up due to fragmentation and the strict environment constraints.However this prevents me from focusing on actual self development and learning something because I spend more time focusing on compatibility and "That new API which reduces the number of clicks" and "that cool library which does that complicated feature of you".

I have tried my hand at developing a few backend applications which are hobby projects and I have show that to people too. Yet everyone seems to focus on my lack of knowledge on Data structures and Algorithms(I'm not from a Computer Science background). And moreover, given the current trend a lot of companies need good Mobile Developers and will not let you get into any other domain once they know about these skills.
