> This seems like an extreme claim. I can't find any reliable source that claims that more bombs than the ones dropped in WWI and WWII combined were dropped to Korea.

I don't know about "WWI and WWII combined" but the US bombing campaign against Korea definitely was devastating. The US did bomb the absolute shit out of North Korean cities -- with more tonnes of bombs than in entire US war against Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War#Bombing_of_North_Ko... , https://theintercept.com/2017/05/03/why-do-north-koreans-hat...

Even US Generals concur:

General MacArthur: "The war in Korea has already almost destroyed that nation of 20,000,000 people. I have never seen such devastation. I have seen, I guess, as much blood and disaster as any living man, and it just curdled my stomach the last time I was there. After I looked at the wreckage and those thousands of women and children and everything, I vomited [...] If you go on indefinitely, you are perpetuating a slaughter such as I have never heard of in the history of mankind."

General O'Donnell: "I would say that the entire, almost the entire Korean Peninsula is a terrible mess. Everything is destroyed [...] There is nothing left standing worthy of the name."

General LeMay: "We burned down just about every city in North Korea and South Korea both [...]We killed off over a million civilian Koreans and drove several million more from their homes, with the inevitable additional tragedies bound to ensue", "We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, someway or another, and some in South Korea too. [...] Over a period of three years or so, we killed off -- what -- twenty percent of the population of Korea as direct casualties of war, or from starvation and exposure?"
Just using Postgres instead of Oracle saved you many millions as well :-D.

The only thing i detest about Uber is its aggressiveness and willingness to exploit every loophole they can find.
> If Uber charged the bare minimum they could get away with and still survive, there would be no incentive for competitors to come in and attempt to undercut them, leaving the supply/demand mismatch as it is.

Why? If supply/demand is mismatched in such a way that a competitor is necessary, then some potential Uber customers are not being served. Then either the customer can't even afford the minimal price, in which case competition doesn't help, or Uber's service is unavailable for some reason, which provides incentive for a competitor to come in and capture the market segment.

It is not absolutely necessary that everyone charge as much as they can; it just happens to be the case that money tends to be controlled by people who would like increase its amount.

In the hypothetical case of Uber turning into a charity that charges as little as possible, the price would simply include the market information that someone is willing to use their money to subsidize everyone's fares.
Doestoevki comes to mind, although I always found him to be best at describing a specific kind of mind (or at least it seems that way to me).
You described sick balkanized situation of incompatible APIs from lock-in freaks. It's a pretty bad picture.
I bet dolphins have the same ability or maybe even something different, even more strange.

Perhaps you're the type of person that's in a meditative state all day, living in the moment. Perhaps you were just so good at predicting that you developed the habit of living in the moment instead of in your imagination because you understood how futile it was to entertain such non-sense.

We do have mechanisms in our brains that live in the moment all the time. Our brain is a conglomerate of brains we've inherited through evolution. The ancient parts of our brains can hijack our neocortex at the sign of danger or discomfort(adrenaline rush), sexual arousal, empathy, etc.

Everyone has different experiences and different levels of understanding of there lives. From my experience many of my acquaintances suffer from not living in the moment. They are off entertaining from fantasy or problem and might endanger someone with their body(bumping or walking into someone). Or the worst case someone absorbed with anxiety or depression about what's going to happen next in their lives and a feeling they have no control over the outcome.

I'd say most of my knowledge about our brains comes from the machine intelligence research of Jeff Hawkins. His research of the neocortex I'd say supports this prediction heavy model of our brains.

Professional studios can have resources to use Vulkan proper. They don't need to waste them on non portable stuff.
No, they don't. Because it's not free and wastes their time. You just keep repeating this weird idea, that developers like this balkanized landscape. They don't. No one likes it, except for lock-in freaks who created it to keep cross platform development expensive.

> Having an abstraction layer over all graphics API is a minor inconvenience that can be easily done in one month.

Quite false. Take a look how long it takes major engines (like Unreal) to implement such abstraction. And how long it takes them to iron out bugs caused by underlying differences. And then try to claim it's a good thing they need to waste all this time. I don't really understand why you personally like this mess.
> it's just the behaviour (running away, attacking, feigning death/freezing) that's not useful in the modern world.
The therapeutically interesting question is how to change that.

Finding ways to channel your 'negative' energies into positive, constructive action is basically the foundation to every self-help book ever written.

I'd wager that the first, and often most difficult step is to identify a path that will lead to eventual success (eliminating the threat). Unfortunately, sometimes that's simply not possible.

Like, if you don't have a degree, have a family to support, and the factory you work at is closing down soon, your brain is going to 1) correctly identify a major threat and 2) try to spur you into action. But what if there's no clear path open that will avert the disaster?

I'd wager at least some of this is responsible for the rising rates of chronic illness, drug abuse, and suicide in many parts of the US.

Modern life often constantly exposes us to and reminds us about threats that we can personally do little about.

This might be true, that you don't lose much, but every day they'd need recharging a bit, and even without dirigibles, we have barely a century of supply. That is not much. The market rate is criminally low.

An argument that only works if it is possible to compete. Most "markets" seem to consolidate into monopolies at the same time as entry to that market is tightly controlled. Telco/Airlines/ISP/Music etc.

Uber has different situations in different places, but to me it seems that they only have real competition in some cities in the US.
Certainly Google is not any less brutal corporation to Apple once afforded a monopoly, as the AMP case shows.
Agreed.. Google notes is currently on my watch list. I am sure they would come up with more features..

Given the reputation of this company, I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear this change at some point in the future.
It's about finding a good balance. Too difficult and people give up. Too easy and people don't invest into the product. I think a similar thing applies to free vs paid. Some times paid is better because free can be treated as cheap or with little value.

I created a web app to do this for me, including the ability to save the posts I created. I wanted something that would allow me to create even more than notes, and allow for HTML and CSS. I created https://mypost.io.

Officially: MyPost is your post, your content. Create beautiful web pages in minutes for free. Whether you know how to code or don't know how to code at all, MyPost is for you. The combination of HTML, BBCode, and various font icons will allow you to write professional and personal posts in no time. No experience necessary!

I shared it with the world... and people have taken a liking to it and found their own uses for it too. Completely free. If you decide to experiment.. hopefully you find a purpose for it.

This is called Windows Update ;-)
Today surely not, but gives knowledge of what was available at that time, and being so different from the Unix/Linux, Windows and Mac worlds it helps to build a better perspective, which can be a lot valuable especially if you are a developer.
I'm leaning to some sort of automounter and a secure protocol. What that protocol is ... kind of doesn't matter.

If you look at, say, Plan 9 OS, it's got a rather interesting 9P protocol which implements a webfs and ftpfs for local fileshares.

What SMB did was, as with much of Windows stuff, conflate a few things:

* The filesharing protocol was mixed in with the transport protocol. That's not all bad, as you have that on the Unix world as well (NFS, AFS). But it means you can't change one without dealing with the other (the usual argument against monolithic design).

* The mounting and share-discovery mechanism was also baked in. This is where things start bordering on lunacy. In the Unix world, you'd deal with this though an independent mount or automount / autofs system. Which is its own brand of lunacy as well, but....

* Licensing. SMB / CIFS shares carry CALS obligations which I've never been able to comprehend.

There are other bits. Like that if you were to access a CIFS share from, say, a Linux box or Cygwin session, each individual process-based access counts as a share (see CALS above, also the per-host session limit of, generally, 10 sessions).

Other options: FTP (though it's probably rightfully dying), HTTP, HTTPS (now we're looking at something remotely sensible), SSH.

There are FUSE filesystems which will work with each of these, though you've got to specify the hosts. You can automate some of that through autofs (on the Linux / Mac side). WebDAV in theory offers a read/write file-based access over HTTP(S), though in practice it's proved difficult.

Generally, this is a space that's oddly lacking in reasonable and good alternatives.

I'd argue more generally that documents-based filesystems are also exceptionally poor at what they ought really be capable of doing.
I'm going to adopt this for my upcoming product, thanks for the advice! Although, I would argue that if you're in a field where people know exactly what they're looking for, it makes sense to be direct to your customer to say that they're drill bits, not that they create holes. But this should be obvious if you know what field you're in.

Also, given that most mental health services are available only 9-5, it is going to be prohibitively expensive for a parent to pick their kid up from school regularly to drive them cross-town. Maybe there is a bus they could use, but it would be much harder than going to a wing of the school.

Or (speculating whildly on something more complex than I'm representing) maybe they could set up some sort of online videochat therapy so those kids who could afford a £35 android phone and wifi could access therapy from outside school?
For past few years, I go to try DuckDuckGo every once in a while (especially when someone suggests that again on HN), but it disappoints me every time with the quality of search results.

Also, if it is using Bing on inside, I'm not then sure why the results are still different than that(even at the places where there's no scope for personalization). For example type this line exactly in both bing and ddg:

difference between std list and std set

The first result DDG shows is of a difference between set and a vector - not only that, it also highlights that result in a Google Card inspired fashion (which is worse because Google does that only when they have a certain amount of confidence in the answer), while the first result Bing shows is an actual difference between list and a set. So either Bing is cheating DDG, or DDG is doing something stupid on top of its results. (Also, if you cover the above string in quotes, Bing still shows 'some' search results, while DDG doesn't).

May be after using the '!' ninja techniques it'll be same as Google, but then I have also come to love the fact that I can type in 'my next flight' or 'Show me emails from ....' or 'remind me to ... ' and other personalized things on Google so may be my priorities are different here.
> solved exactly by using the measurements of dark matter that already existed...

Just be careful. Dark matter distributions are highly paramterized quasi-continuous functions, so getting measurements to match exactly is a function of their definition, not an emergent property. While we do feel confident that there could something reasonable there, a priori exactitude cannot be evidence because that's begging the question and also possibly over fitting parameters.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

We tell stories about ourselves and call it our identity. Often, we believe so strongly in our identities that we've killed for them or have been killed for them.

One person can have one identity where they're a failure, then through therapy, they change their story and become happier. Same events, different story.

There's also the cultural story: we descended from these people, we share an intellectual lineage with those people, these are the past events that are important, and this is what they reveal about us, etc.
Announcing the Y Combinator Podcast
No, I wouldn't think it was unfair if they presented a price that was more because of <insert some reason here>, and then I decided not to pay it because I didn't think their service was was worth that price.

If you don't like what Uber is charging you, then don't take Uber. You can consider whatever constraints you like when determining the price you're willing to pay: convenience, time, cost, cleanliness, location, whathaveyou. Maybe you value your time less than the cost of an Uber, so you can then walk to your destination. You ripped off Uber then by using your two perfectly good feet, and showed those capitalist fatcats by not even using their service!

The comparison to a serious hurt child is not an appropriate comparison (also, "think of the children!"), because the service is not fungible in that case.

Is someone going to show up and make the same arguments for why people with higher incomes shouldn't pay higher taxes? If there's nothing wrong with progressive taxation, then there's nothing wrong with progressive pricing, and the only difference is that you're forced the pay taxes while you're not forced to purchase services from any given vendor.

I think this is downvoted because it's considered slow and/or hacky and having a fair amount of overhead (especially for SSH -- e.g. User and Key management).

That being said, I think the explanation is not available because ... people aren't really sure about a better option!

If we take the common (IMO complex) Network filesystem protocol implementations as having irredeemable flaws (so SMB and NFS, all versions), the only viable contenders I can think of are block level network device protocols. E.g.: iSCSI, NBD, DRBD, and probably quite a few others. These of course have the disadvantage of exposing block level protocols to clients, leaving the actual filesystem management up to the client.

Summary: it's always a tradeoff and most of the options suck in one way or another. I personally wouldn't downvote this comment. But maybe someone could enlighten me.
Agreed, I've watched him interview countless "superstars" and always manage to be a really genuine, interested, integrity-driven guy. He's reciprocated some of the compliments via Twitter, but overall, I think he's what Zane Lowe wishes he could be. Quote me on that if you'd like.

The issue with injecting nitrogen in the soil isn't about the nitrogen's source, but it's impact on the carbon content of the soil.

>There has been some research showing that these high nitrogen inputs are destroying the carbon in the soil. Because the microbes use up the extra nitrogen and then they really tear the carbon out, creating lots of CO2, rather than sequestering it in the soil. So there is evidence that excessive nitrogen actually causes more carbon to leave the system. Whereas we need more carbon in the soil rather than less.

> Some of our unconscious powers of prospection are shared by animals, but hardly any other creatures are capable of thinking more than a few minutes ahead.

>> That's simply not true. Evolution and historical knowledge are intertwined with our RNA/DNA more than we know.

These are two very different kinds of informational processes:

- the one done by evolution, using genes and other non-conscious supra-individual "devices": (1) does not produce information that can be shared horizontally (unless you're a bacterium) through communication, (2) is not processed consciously in communication, aka "you don't talk about it and analyze it collectively in conversations" (unless you're a scientist talking about evolutionary biology) and (3) it does require individuals to break-out of the moment and think a bit deeper on shit, even if this may have the side effect of making you less attentive and sometimes makes you seem insensitive bordering on either psychopathy or autism depending on your social skills (or an "evil ego-centric not-living-in-the now intellectual" for less sophisticated minds)

- the one done by individuals, using their brains, either consciously or not, and usually in data formats that can be easily encoded in language for people to be able to talk about their visions of the future and "infect" others with them; this is the realm of memes and visions and most of the interesting shit happens there

Also, the article mentions some pretty deep insights when talking about depression, anxiety etc. Imho there's quite a lot that could be done in psychiatry and positive psychology through more "future-vision focused" therapies. Yeah, it's dangerous shit to play with, we know what happened when Hitler did "future-vision therapy" on a whole nation and it went wrong... But it's a tool with great potential, that requires you to break-of-the-now a little bit. And yeah, generally the powerful tools that result from "breaking-out-of-the-now" tend to be dangerous, like nuclear weapons and nuclear power (not "thinking in the now" sane person would develop technology that requires millenia-long waste disposal planning), but we're sure gonna be glad to have these tools once we start moving around the universe more...
