Hits the nail on the head. Our brains are back propagating, recursive neural networks that are consistently making predictions about the next input in the stream of input signals as it changes over time. When the prediction results are correct we save a fuzzy recording of the higher-order-pattern that resulted in our correct prediction. Each time our predictions are correct that "memory" is reinforced so we're able to make faster predictions, at earlier points in the pattern.

I hypothesize that the source of most anxiety or nervousness stems from our brains making no correct predictions in that moment. This is supported anecdotally by my patterns for overcoming social interactions that used to make me anxious that I've now become comfortable with. My brain now makes enough correct predictions that I don't feel the need to leave the situation.

I hypothesize that part of why I started acting on my transgender feelings was because I'd become so uncomfortable in my own body that my brain wasn't able to make accurate predictions about the sensations coming from my within. This is supported anecdotally by the following.

I started 2 activities when I accepted my desire to transition to female. Both were touted at reducing the feelings of un-comfortableness in my own body. Female to Male hormone therapy and taijiquan. Both produced lots of new feelings for my brain. Both gave me a sense of agency over my own body, the understanding that I have the ability to shape my body into what I want. In the end I stopped transitioning because taking the hormones(mostly the T blocker) isn't known to be healthy for the body(Liver/Kidneys). Taijiquan is almost unanimously a positive source of change in ones health for the rest of their lives therefore I choose taijiquan and a long healthy life over my desires to have female genitals. Practicing Taijiquan makes me feel better, and in regards to my gender dysphoria taijiquan has cured it; I am very comfortable with my male genitals now that I'm able to make enough consistent predictions during sex to remain engaged with the situation and remain turned on.

Edit Addition: I'd like to state that I still identify as a cross dresser and I'm comfortable saying that love certain parts/styles of womens fashion and accessories. Example, I love long flowing skirts. As a society I feel we should reassess men wearing skirts as it is much healthier for our genitals.
or E) They gathered a tremendous amount of information over a long period of time, and played the CIA's game by giving it to them easy. That way more is revealed, and then China executed, no pun intended, the plan all at once when the time seemed right.

But again who knows.
I wholeheartedly recommend reading about the right to free speech, because I think you might be confused about what it means.
Uh, wait, you're a parody account, right? There aren't truly people still shouting 'But her emuls!' anymore, right? Speaking for everyone outside of the US, how did you guys unearth this crazy? Was it always there?

If there are still those doing this un-ironically, Trump betrays Israel's secret intel and they cry about emails instead. The mental gymnastics are insane.
It's not about sensitivity, it's that your first example wasn't equivalent at all.

Spying != collecting information to murder people.
i liked spy game, the movie with robert redford and brad pitt.

I believe in freedom of speech too. That means that the government should not stifle speech. HN and other such entities have the right regulate speech on their properties.
Pretty rambling but they're right about one thing: tech workers have more power than they realize, an idle "factory" is expensive.
"Candace Marie Claiborne, accused of lying to investigators about her contacts with Chinese officials. ...Chinese agents wired cash into her bank account and showered her with gifts ...iPhone, a laptop and tuition at a Chinese fashion school...fully furnished apartment and a stipend."

Recklessness of this is beyond my comprehension, not just accepting cash but also communication and computing devices like iphone and laptop that may have been tampered with.

Unbelievable lapse in judgement.
This article does not put China in a very good light. A ruthless shooting in the middle of a government agency of a spy to send a message is pretty barbaric.

I suspect articles about these events will have a significant amount of pro-China or anti-US comments to "put it in context".
It is the same opt-in as mob protection: "nice search results you have there, be a shame if something dropped you to page 2"
Wow, it slipped my mind entirely that you could do the permutations when you create the new password but before verifying, rather than after creating a password. That's a great idea, and embarrassingly obvious in retrospect.
Are you okay with execution of your own citizens without a trial in your own country?

Even those suspected of treason in the US go through the court system.
Every time I read news like this, I remember that nyt has many choices of what to publish and they CHOSED to publish this. Why? It feels like this article is designed to increase sympathy for the CIA.
I almost didn't read the article because of the title. As a avid practitioner of mindfulness meditation, I was turned off, "That's horseshit, being in the moment is what makes me happy and keeps me safe!" But after reading the article this just reinforces why meditation is so good at resolving anxiety and depression. Our brains AREN'T good at living in the moment, they are good at making predictions. Mediation is the process by which we LET GO and try to only OBSERVE the wild prediction process going on in our heads. Understanding this makes the article only reinforce the notion that meditation is so healthy for us as it teaches us to step away from our predictions before they spiral into depression or general anxiety disorder.
I wouldn't have expected Apple to speed up the scrolling on everything else if that's what's really happening, but I don't find it amusing.

As I said another comments though Safari was doing exactly what it was designed to do (for whatever reason they designed it that way). I don't think this is a bug on Apple's part. It makes sense to harmonize the scrolling behavior, but I don't believe it was unintentional.

Now I understand what someone was talking about when they said this might be ironic. I wasn't even sure what they were referring to. I can't place my finger on why this doesn't seem like irony to me. Maybe it's just not odd enough.
By what metrics (subjective or otherwise) is the quality of life in metro Detroit worse than the areas you mentioned, assuming a reasonable income? For instance, specific suburbs have schools that are at least as good as those in the other areas, partly thanks to a massive concentration of engineers and STEM professionals, and they are otherwise suburbs like any other American suburb.

Also, do you include Ann Arbor in your definition of metro Detroit here?

Yes, the people who don't own a phone OS by Google are complaining about Google's AMP. That is part of the problem.
If you want to keep a list like this online I wrote a web app that keeps lists.
Microsoft is opening an office, not a rumor.
Google Keep. It lacks formatting, but it's readily available on all platforms.
The OP's article actually talks about how your goal internally should be ambitious but outwardly only be something simple. So maybe the less ambitious goals were what they told people and the more ambitious goals are what they aimed for.

For example Paul Graham states you may be looking to replace email with a todo list like application. But all you really have to say is you're building a todo list application. He says this prevents investors from saying are we there yet and likely thinking you are a bit too ambitious.
Evidently, CIA Officers are notoriously sloppy and negligent in handling their agents in the east and south east. Just rumours from people who escaped Vietnam, etc... The US doesn't like the Asians and have systematically killed them as part of their institutional organization.

In the Korean War they dropped more bombs, including napalm and experimental bombs, on the Koreans than all of the bombs dropped in WWI and WWII combined. They dropped two atomic bombs on cities full of civilians in Japan. And these are two of the US' closest Asian "allies".

The US simply hates the Asians and the CIA (and FBI) are firmly part of that dogma.

Edit: Just looking into US' history and pattern of extreme aggression and negativity directed at Asia, as well as anyone sharing genetic similarities, no one feels sorry for the CIA or the FBI. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a vast majority of people outside the American Anglosphere think the CIA informants deserved it, let alone were put out of their misery from whatever shit the CIA and FBI had, did and/or put on them.
This is historical, being 7 years old. No one knows for sure when the Office of Personnel Management hack began, only that it was detected, by accident in 2015.

This OPM hack is probably the most damaging for the US government's spying efforts, even more than the Snowden disclosures.
I think freshyill got that and was asking if williamle8300 had an actual argument in mind (e.g. Obama supported X policy which prevented the CIA from doing their job effectively in manner Y, precipitating the loss of assets in TFA), or if his comment was just a low-effort "Thanks Obama" knee-jerk based on the conservative "liberals suck at military" yarn. Of course, the answer to that question is just as obvious, but it's a fool's game to meet a low-effort jab with a high-effort, specific reply.

My sides.
Because users seeing AMP links as faster will pressure more sites to do it.

Keep in mind, AMP pages on google aren't just fast because you're not using bloated javascript, they're fast because:

- The JS that is used is CDN cached and shared with all other AMP sites

- You're loading the content from the same origin (google.com) so no need to establish a new TLS connection, or look up DNS, etc

- Google's servers/networking/etc stack is very fast, faster than what is in reach of most sites

- The new content is loaded into the existing DOM of the search page, which can be much faster

And probably the most damning:

- Google will eagerly-load the contents of the first few results, making them not just fast but 100% instant.

What choice do sites have?

This only seems to hurt publishers (and maybe consumers, depending on how the Buy Box algorithm is implemented/designed). This also happens to be a boon for third-party resellers.

My grandpa is actually one such possible beneficiary of this (though I don't think he would normally be the default for various reasons). In his retirement, he volunteers with a fundraising organization that supports his county's library by reselling donated books; cheaper books are usually sold by the bag in "book sales" (held adjacent to the library itself), but my grandpa's specialty is actually the Amazon storefront, through which the more expensive books are sold. Since there's no acquisition cost (they're donated), each book can be sold at prices way lower than they could be by for-profit sellers while still pulling in the same or similar net income.

It sounds like the Buy Box algorithm factors in whether a book is consistently in stock, however, which is problematic for him (since nearly all his sales are one-off), and it probably doesn't include non-new products. It's still potentially beneficial if he gets, say, a pallet of new college textbooks or something (which hasn't happened yet AFAIK, but hey, one can dream, right?).
They are apparently losing $7400 on each Bolt. So they've kept the production numbers low. It's a halo car and a cautious test of demand, and something to have in their backpocket in case consumer demand warrants it, battery production on scale becomes feasible, or a gov't forces its via regulation. I think there are likely warring divisions within GM, too.

Please don't "fix" the "bug" that disables the "scroll to the top of the page when the user accidentally taps the top of the screen" behavior. I loathe this behavior, have never summoned it intentionally, and can't imagine why anyone would ever want it.
In reality, for most developers, it is a non-issue to bringup a new graphics API backend. See, for example, Arseny Kapoulkine's experience porting to Metal: http://zeuxcg.org/2016/12/01/metal-retrospective
You're right about everything except the Hindenburg being safer - hydrogen can never be made that safe because of the way it migrates through just about anything. We'd have to use helium.

The real problem is planes benefit from a huge existing market plus military utility. The first passenger airplanes were essentially WW II bombers with seats where the bomb bays had been. When Boeing or Airbus builds a new jet, they amortize the cost over hundreds of civilian air frames, plus potentially hundreds more military tanker and transport versions.

If you were to build an airship the size of Hindenburg, you'd build, what, three or four at the most? The unit cost would be about a billion dollars by the time everything was done and you had passenger certification. You'd need a lot of high-priced tourists to fill the gap.

You can go to Friedrichshafen and ride an existing airship. It costs about $250 for a half hour, and I'm not convinced they actually make money.

There's a chance we could see the return of airships, but the only way it's going to happen is an enormous increase in the price of fossil fuels. Even then, though, they'll never be as efficient as ocean or rail travel, so it's likely airships would be the mode of transport for the rich and politically connected. The rest of use would be back in steerage.
Unless you can classify their treason as terrorism, then all rules are out the window.

This is what Bing tried by being a "decision engine"... maybe it works...cuz the search sucks...but they still claim 30% us market share.

Edit: There is an exception to your understanding of perception. Extreme convenience can overcome market perceptions...If someone found a way to make a search engine or solve discovery in a way that is extremely more convenient than using Google, they can unseat the brand.
Oh, and as for 1000 to 40000 in a few quarters, a company like GM absolutely can. They have decades of experience in mass manufacturing. The limitation as far as I can see it will be battery supplies.

Many good points there. I'd just like to point out that eugenics is demonized partly because it was taken to an extreme by the Nazis which are demonized. It's not necessarily bad. We do it in a broader form when we choose partners - who wants to pick the disabled or mentally ill person to have children with? All else being equal, we usually prefer a partner without genetic "defects" according to whatever the popular idea of a "defect" is.
I don't have an iPhone, so I can't check the actual behavior to see how broken it is. Is it just not fitting the Norms of the platform, or does it really impede usage?

I think the "correct" response in a case like this, where the platform owner has a bug and has committed to a fix in the pipeline for delivery, is highly dependent on the problem. Even then, it's possible to make the wrong choice given the information available at the time.

I prefer not to call the actions of a company and a group of people arrogant without more info than present, even if one of those people expressed a less than sympathetic opinion of the problem. I extend the same courtesy to Apple often enough, it would be hypocritical of me not to.

I was going to reply to that but then I realized that the comment is probably coming from someone who doesn't know the area and to get into it will be to get into a pissing contest.

>I believe that the Hindenburg required a ground crew of ~200 to control the airship during landing and mooring. It's also a problem in flying in the vicinity of strong storms.

The ground handling problems have been solved. You either use directional thrust like Zeppelin NT, or you make the airship a lifting body that's slightly heavier than air, landing it on a runway like an airplane like Airlander 10. Both work.
You get haptic feedback without full access? That shouldn't be possible. The engine is only available to the keyboard if full access is enabled.
>One reason I think everyone should go to college is to gain exposure to cultures completely different from theirs and lose their sheltered and ethnocentric mindset.

This doesn't happen in college but through actually living away from home in another culture. The worst bigots and racists I've met have university degrees.
Shameless plug for the Friends of Washoe County Library, to which I have a personal connection and can attest to their books being 100% real (and cheap!). Selection probably ain't great (it relies on book donations, and it only includes the books with high estimated value; the cheaper books are sold in-person by the bag), but it's certainly a start.

> Google has, and should, downranked slow pages in favour of fast ones.

They do.
Sites opt in to preferential search placement. That's orthogonal to injecting a header over outgoing links being a dark UX pattern.

Ask HN: Startup naming as a service
I've recently started working on a carpooling for events webapp (https://poolwith.me) and do not feel very satisfied with the name. I went through many names but none sound better. I was wondering if there's a startup naming service that I can use. Most of the ones I found simply combine multiple words to generate a new.

P.S. Feel free to suggest a name!

I'm perfectly happy living in one of those urban areas. I speak out when the people around me are doing things that are rude or dangerous or disgusting and then I move on. My actions towards others are intended to avoid causing all the problems you're describing(anxiety, self-doubt, nervousness); hopefully they inspire others to be considerate or change their behavior. The mindfulness skills that cities help cultivate are acceptance and releasing(letting go).

If you find yourself constantly angry or stressed or nervous about other people you should probably remove yourself from the situation, relax and let it go. If you aren't prepared for confrontation or are worried about the situation escalating then use the moments before you let it go to come up with other ways to potentially solve the problem. Get crazy with it, like making a bunch of untraceable fliers, or making a long anonymous post to some digital community related to the location or activity. Their are lots of ways to influence how people act in the long term, in the short term direct confrontation almost always works.

Situations where you're unable to remove yourself from the area to avoid someone are the worst. This is why performances on the subway piss me off so much, or people ranting about something. I've been making a point to directly confront anyone doing anything that makes me uncomfortable on the subway and tell them why it makes me uncomfortable and that they need to stop. Just today some women came on the train and started yelling about eating a plant based diet, how it was good for the planet. I agree with her and I'm on and off vegan, but it's NOT fucking cool to start yelling on the subway unless you're getting violated by someone or you're in danger. I snapped her with my spectacles repeating, "ma'am, would you stop yelling on the train", ending with, "You're making all vegans look bad." She did finally stop
Right. Here's the problem and confusion with Google AMP: it's actually two seperate products.

1. There's the HTML/CSS/JS library/subset that's a good framework for building pages that load quickly

2. There's the 'CDN' that integrates with Google Search to preload and 'iFrame' the site in. Google 'has' to host/'iFrame' the content in their own google.com/amp pages because that's the only way to preload a page to make it display instantly.
Because when Google says, "We can make your page faster" management listens. But when a company's own engineers say it, management says, "Google knows better."
The only way that would be accurate is if Google targeted content creators randomly for rent seeking, but the fact of the matter is Google has a vested interest in making sure their search results are compellingly useful to users.

Personally I'm using Google search more because AMP makes things faster for me. It's a win-win for me.
> Therefore a competing product doesn't need to be as good as current Google, only as good as it used to be.

While there seems no barrier to entry, just consumer habit, google is faster than it used to be, despite a larger web and more users.

Speed of search results has been shown to be extremely important to users. Google's many large server farms, close to users, is a huge capital investment. Google has doubled down on this advantage, with google suggest, which requires even more power.
For example, google has much lower latency than DDG.
Replicating those server farms would be expensive; I'm not sure than even all of AWS could do it.

>Google is sometimes too helpful, correcting errors that are not actually errors and failing to take some queries literally enough.

While I am still personally a huge fan of Google's work in this are and many others, sometimes I long for the days of straight boolean search queries in search engines. I could often find exactly what I'm looking for, and get the same result each time.

Are there any other major or effective engines that allow for boolean queries beyond AND/OR?

The NYT is not all that. Read with care, and you'll notice a lot of stuff is couched, and rather than statements of fact, there are statements of fact about statements. For example, notice how many times the word pair "officials said" appears in the article.

In other words, yes it may be a fact that a source said X, but a lot of people read that as "NYT said X" which is not at all what NYT is saying.
