i would like to share my experience. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have had it since age 13. I have been taking hydrocodone since i was 14, started taking oxycontin and hydrocodone for breakthrough 10 years ago at 25. I have been able to function as a normal person. I went through a few years of going off of them when i would gain mass amounts of weight and unable to do anything. I have only had my dosage adjusted twice, i am able to walk 6 miles a day plus go up and down 3 flights of stairs x16 times a day. Opiates have saved my life.
Doxxing? Not hardly. I typed in someone's username with "yelp" into google. Any hiring manager does that with prospective employees - why is it now verboten (and doxxing) to do with with usernames?

No matter. I do believe his real name was probably unjustified. So I did redact his real name on all my posts. But I know it's available with that photo on Google's first page results.

Still, it DOES NOT change that an engineer for the firm was acting as a first line of defense on HN. And yes, I was right in that he should have disclosed it.. Cause it sure as hell looks like a corporate sockpuppet.

I set up a Roku for someone and the d-pad on the remote jumped twice instead of once for every click. Putting in a password required mod 2 arithmetic and switching between rows/columns with even/odd lengths. Things can always become more absurd.

It is an option, and I think a pretty effective one in the future. If advanced enough, self-driving cars could learn the different cues we give each other to communicate (be it with a car driver, a bike rider, a pedestrian, or any other agent).

It will be very interesting to see how this dynamic evolves over time.
Back pain does attract a lot of quackery. It's hard to understand where people come from with back pain unless you experience it. It's debilitating and utterly dominates your life. But the article took many liberties to make it sound worse.

Spinal fusions in the lower spine are mostly done laproscopically these days, and usually don't involve abdominal surgery. That's a huge difference -- I had a 6 week recovery vs over 4 months for an abdominal procedure.

My L4-L5 was fused at age 25 due to a degenerated disc that failed completely. Fortunately it was very successful for me. Hopefully we make progress with artificial discs and vertebrae to improve outcomes for others.

Today, the options are the same.

Just running your own server got a lot easier, and you can buy stock Gmail or Outlook Web clients under your own domain.
That's what I do, but I also have to change the ordering from "Top Stories" to "Most Recent" fairly frequently. That usually puts out different stuff (Facebook seems incapable of remembering the setting. I assume it's deliberate design at this point, since such a blatant bug would have been fixed by now).

I suspect it's only a workable strategy if you either have few friends, or stop following all the ones with a low signal to noise ratio, or if you use Facebook somewhat frequently. Otherwise, there'd just be too many updates to finish scrolling through them in a reasonable amount of time.
I think it lines your own pockets too.
Those are just UI shells that will use the same built-in rendering engine.
Would that be really an issue, though?

At least in so far as living macroscopic beings are concerned, they're all doing computation of some sort by processing environmental information and using the results to produce behavior. They're about as good at math as any other computer programmed to reproduce those algorithms.

So long as "processing" information isn't the same as actually producing that behavior, as in the case of crystal growth, they're doing something besides what they're doing.

Though I'd prefer to think that crystals are actually doing math too, but they're so good they don't even need to think about it.

This is ACTUALLY NOT exponential.

1st month: factor of 15 (100->1500)
2nd+3rd month: factor of 13.333/2 =6.6 (1500->20000)

This is logarithmic, growth is slowing down rapidly.
Whether or not that is true, what they're doing is diversification. Selling off some of the oil assets long before they're depleted to invest in assets that won't be depleted. Speculation like yours determines the length of the runway, but it's clear to everyone that it will end probably in 50-100 years. In order not to collapse in what would be a global catastrophe, SA must do things exactly like this to survive.
Questions being asked like "What is human?" or "What defines a species?" have differing answers depending on the specific world-view of the questioner.

As I have read the comments already given, it is obvious that there are some here who define a species very narrowly and would therefore treat the Kalhari desert people as a different species to the run of the mill European.

Even the word hybrid as applied to living organisms has major problems, especially when used in conjunction with some definitions of species.

The upshot of the various definitions is that any organism that breeds with another successfully and produces viable breeding offspring are members of the same species. In which case, Neanderthal is just one of the varieties of the homo sapiens species, no more and no less than any existing human today.

I have heard various comments about some people today of how like they are to the images we use for the Neanderthal. Since we only have skeletal remains and no actual corpses, there is much that we cannot tell about how they looked and how different any other bodily feature may have been. The experts use mostly guess work - I am not denigrating guess work based on good evidence. What I am saying is that we don't know with any certitude of the real differences, if any, between modern man and ancient man.
http://www.econedlink.org/lesson/593/Keynes-vs-Hayek-Rise-Ch...

One of Hayek's big points which I count against Keynes is that we still don't fully understand market mechanics. It's as true today as ever. Going back to the initial quote about dentists, too many people think that it's an easily explainable macro-system.

I struggle to see how there won't be (and already haven't been) ramifications from printing money to support national economies. Printing more IOUs definitely devalues the existing IOUs....

Call it disinflation or deflation, it does exist. We're seeing it in Japan and in an increase in real (inflation-adjusted) short-term rates which are negative in several countries (Sweden, Denmark, etc).
I think the point is that most commute+cubicle work isn't usually work which is essential to survival. The call to be a little less cheerful is a call for everyone to see through the illusion that commute+cubicle is meaningful, essential work. We might find a greater contentment if we aren't filling what could be idle time with nonessential work.
Are hackers just another spin on frat-boy?
Having twice been rejected for the same reason by prominent investor conduits ("incubators" by another name), I'm trying to understand what these rejections are telling me. The common thread has been the lack of a "team" which the second incubator insisted meant "co-founders." At the same time I'm reading a spate of articles about misogyny and generally anti-social behavior among twenty and thirty-somethings - and older - in Silicon Valley. In short, Fox-News behavior.

As an old "loan wolf" from the Vietnam generation (read the 60s, really "old" now) I'm trying wrap my had around what this all means. Do I really need a "team," moreover a team which I call "co-founders" to get started in a business I've put significant amounts of my own resources into. Lots of my own money. Or is this some kind of millennial group-think? Why do I need a team to get funded? Don't really get it.

This is not even slightly to argue that I don't need a team to succeed or that any one person can claim the success of an enterprise (although we continue to lionize many socially inept or even frightening persons who have). Why do I need a team or co-founders? It's a question for you hackers who The Dump tells us are 400-pounders on a bed somewhere, one supposes his idea of the cyber "loan wolf"? Why can't I build a team from solo investor funding and go from there? Because, demonstrably, I can't.

Not against a team of co-founders which I'm trying to form assiduously. But, seriously, I don't think incubators, including the sponsor of this message board, have an argument. Strikes me as frat-boy group-think. Why am I wrong?

If you want to respond, please don't argue that I think loan wolves can survive without their pack. Because I don't.

Sure it's an engineering problem but why not dive into imagining a solution now, no reason to wait 'till your ancestors evolve wheels (or whatever).

The spine is similar to a set of disks stacked on top of each other. There's no reason that sort of structure can't be fairly stable when held upright. A wide variety of movement arts, martial arts and healing arts mention the damage involved in letting one's spine sag forward (or backward).

Of course getting the spine, neck and head to work together harmoniously is more complex than just "holding yourself upright". Just willing one's body to hold particular relaxed, upright stance can often result in the opposite.

That's why a lot of body work, body awareness, martial arts and etc work on an indirect principle. Meditate so your conscious mind stops screwing up your body and mind. Allow another person to show you the right stance and accept it without judgment.

Which is to say the process of trying to practically engineer the body to work effectively has been going on for a long time. Unlike a cure or prescription, this kind of engineering pretty has to be specific to the person, requires the person's active participation. And so-forth.

See, Tai Chi, qigong, the Alexander Technique, the FeldenKrais method, etc, etc, etc, etc...

> It's currently Mac-only, because of the `say` command, and so that I could write instructions for just one platform. I have ideas about how I'm going to fix that, but that won't be in the near future.

There's a package on Debian Linux based systems called "gnustep-gui-runtime" which (among a lot of other things) provides the "say" command.
Seconded, I just finished this book and it is an introduction to the basic science and history of genetics that reads like a masterfully written narrative. If you have any interest in genetics I think The Gene would be well worth your time.
It always sucks to have your insightful (in your own eyes at least) comments downvoted, just because there's a group of people who disagree with it. It's a downvote democracy, but not a true democracy because it only takes a minority to vote that way. I don't even have access to this downvote feature, I guess I don't have enough karma.
It is an "issue" in the sense that it raises more questions than it answers.

Exactly this. It's whataboutism designed to discredit and damage the victims and to that end I actively don't respect (and do downvote, and sometimes flag) those posts.

There are ways to solve math problems that don't involve math.
From the article:

> “At first I didn’t see the nakedness or what she was wearing or the poses she was in, but then it began to sink in, what the ad was for, and everything just fell apart.”

This does seem to imply actual nudity, which makes it even more surprising they didn't immediately take it down when it was pointed out to them.
Begs the question: what are the best moderation systems in software? Are there any?

My dad always described this as mathematics vs. arithmetic.

Ultimately computers are just doing lots of arithmetic.
Yes, humans evolved from an animal whose back was horizontal, parallel with the ground. Our spines are not an optimal solution.
But they haven't even officially shown off the interior at all. The car hasn't been fully shown, even in its one configuration.
I can assure you: If you're asking this question, you are far from that point.

Nowadays you can host projects on services like aws, heroku, etc. and they have pretty good performance right out of the box. You will rarely reach a point where performance is a huge issue.

This may happen if you hit the HN front page, get covered by the NYTimes, etc. but even then, you could just spin up some dynos to handle it temporarily and think about if this is just a spike or an actual growth. In 99% of the cases it's just a spike and you'll be back to normal the next day.

If you DO reach the point where performance becomes important, that probably means you have enough users. And in the worst case you could even ask your users for help. But if you're doing this well, you can really just tweet for help and many people will try to help you.

TLDR: Don't optimize until you get to a point where it becomes painfully obvious that you MUST optimize.
Please stop your personal attacks, this is not the place for this.
Do most people not have good control over the api’s they use?

I feel like I see many projects like this with the goal of transforming data or making more requests and things after each request (redux-saga).

If you have control over the api you are interacting with, most of these things aren’t needed. Plus, less work done on the client the better, right?
Shamelessly reposting my comment https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2052#issuecomment-312..., but I'm concerned about using semver for the tools, and what is effectively just a major version for the language.

This is backwards. Every new language feature should get its own minor version, and if tools never drop support, there is no need for a (tool) major version.
Not really surprising, it's simulating a desktop with mouse and keyboard.

This is good news for us who want alternative implementations like gccrs. GCC (and software developers) can target static "epoch"s (c89, c99, c11, ...) rather than a moving target.

Hopefully, this will be enough to make development of GCC's rust front-end viable again.
I started with QBasic and C++ when I was a kid. A lot of my later instruction was in Java, and I don't have a strong argument for why it couldn't've been used as my first language.

It's more accurate to say that the vast majority of tetrapods evolved their spines to support use parallel to the ground, and that even those which occasionally walk around bipedally spend lots of time either brachiating (in trees) or quadrupedally.

There were no designs involved.

Humans are the largest bipedal walkers, but not the only ones. Here's an interesting survey:

The most salient part for tl;dr

CNN is not publishing "HanAholeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

Are all of the engineering roles open to remote?
Not really. In Russian, it's usually follows what it feels intuitively closer to - i.e. if it ends with a vowel like "a", it's likely to be female - Coca-Cola, Nutella, Fanta, etc. If it ends in consonant, it'll be male. If it ends in "o", "e", etc. - probably neuter. Though there could be more complex cases - e.g. I'm not sure what gender would something like "Subaru" assume. Probably depends on implied noun - if it's a "company named Subaru" then probably female, because "company" is female, if it's a restaurant named "Subaru" (assuming such one exists and is not sued for trademark violation) then it's be male because "restaurant" is male. Some speakers would just avoid putting such words into a context where such decision needs to be taken (fortunately, Russian has no articles, so die/der/das is not an issue :) or attaches explicit native noun like "company" or "restaurant" to make it clear.

Some words are kind of gender-fluid too. E.g. a word meaning "hall" was female and neuter in past centuries, and now is male. The word for "coffee" is male in formal/educated speech and neuter is less-educated but (to my despair) rapidly gaining legitimacy speech. Russian is fun :)

For things like the user, you can always assume male, but as with other such assumptions, some people may object to it. In some cases, there is a built-in assumption that male includes female when gender is unknown, but in others it just means male and that's it.

The brain is doing math all the time.

Just making your eyes converge at a focal point so you can read this involves math, and that's probably some of the most trivial stuff. The inverse kinematics involved in moving your limbs also do involve plenty of math, try to do it in a robot arm and see what I am talking about.

The problem is that our way of doing arithmetic has a lot of overhead. The algorithm we learn in school is not that good in terms of efficiency. However imagining an abacus (not a 10 bead one) and exploiting muscle memory seems to be probably faster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px_hvzYS3_Y
Yeah, seems like it's just getting more discrete and less continuous.

That said, this is not an 88x speedup for general purpose computing, just for some specific workload of parallel compute.

>and didn't learn much I couldn't have taught myself.

I've been thinking a lot about this recently, and I think this could be a fallacy brought on by the weird way we remember things. When I think about what I learned during my undergrad I'd like to say that I learned very little, but then I just know things I must have learned during university.

To me, it's really hard to pinpoint when and where I learned something I truly absorbed, and I don't think I'm alone in this.

This gives me a very false impression of what I did during university. Could I have learned all of this myself? Would I have known where to look?
