One, because donating money to starving children is not a sustainable solution, and I believe that I can generate more long-term benefit for humanity from using my computer than from selling it.

Two, I literally bought this computer from a charity auction.

Okay I did some digging

Google n-grams isn't all that sympathetic to my account, in showing a long history for 'extrovert' and suggests 'extravert' is actively dying out.

But the history may not go back far enough:
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/the-dif...

'Folklore has it that when Carl Jung was once asked which was the correct spelling—ExtrAvert or ExtrOvert—Jung's secretary wrote back something like, "Dr. Jung says it's ExtrAverted, because ExtrOverted is just bad latin."'

[...]

'According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "The original spelling 'Extravert' is now rare in general use but is found in technical use in psychology." That's correct. If you look at scientific journal articles, virtually every paper uses the spelling ExtrAvert.'

I use several major business software packages. I run the program. It loads and I use it.

Without knowing which DRM they use, this example is irrelevant.

I put a DVD or Blu-ray into my player. I play the disc. I watch the movie.

This is a classic WORKSFORME. New Blu-rays are released with new versions of the DRM, which don't work with older players unless they're connected to the Internet to update their firmware - and if it exists.

Search for "can't play avatar blueray" and you'll find many people for whom it's not even close to transparent.

I'm not a big gamer myself these days, but I've rarely heard anyone complain about Steam's DRM in years.

If you beat them for a while, eventually people stop complaining. I don't know about you, but growing up, not being able to lend games between friends was unthinkable. Steam robs new players of this communal experience, excluding poorer kids from social groups because they can't play the games everyone else has.

It's not just not transparent; I find it vile.

No. The takeaway is that trying to achieve something that we don't know how to do has knock on effects which improve the things we think we know how to do.

How about the highly experimental, expensive, poor-user-interface, precursors to whatever the next truly innovative killer app will be? We don't know what the really important use cases will be; we don't even know[1] which events or innovations are in the general direction of the next killer app.

The very idea that some ideas - aka information, intellectual works, or (bleh) "content" - can be owned is already offensive enough. For DRM to make any kind of sense you first have to presume you can enumerate the ways an idea will be used. If we knew that, we could skip most R&D.

Instead of trying artificially re-create scarcity, the Silicon Valley startup culture should be worried about of DRM fencing off next-decade's products.

On the other hand, bus transit service gets cut if the passenger numbers aren't there to support it. Better to drive more people to transit and let Metro/Sound Transit catch up, rather than wait for them to improve service just in case.
Humans will never solve war unless we genetically re-engineer our entire species (which carries its own risks of annhilation/extinction causing consequences).

Thus in the interest of increasing our species odds of survival and reducing our dependence on a single planet, we should pursue space travel as soon as possible, regardless what other problems remain unsolved.

But better than space travel is space commercialization. Make space a profit center rather than a cost center. If space can be made economically viable sooner than later, for example via JPL's recent KISS study, so much the better. There's quadrillions of dollars of value in the asteroid belt, enough to forestall earth-based resource wars for generations at least.

But the human race will always be messy, and attempting to focus on fixing that unfixable problem is not a good reason to postpone forward progress.

> In many cases of severe persistent pain, they are the only effective treatment.

I can believe some random person on the internet, or I can believe the Royal College of Anaesthetists.

https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/faculty-of-pain-medicine/opioids-awar...

> Given the limited duration of clinical trials, data on efficacy of long term opioid use are available only from case series and open-label extensions of controlled trials. These latter have been systematically reviewed. Open-label extension data suggest that a small proportion of patients may derive continuing benefit from opioids in the long term but the relevance to clinical practice is uncertain as patients with co-morbidities that may predispose to problematic opioid use are generally excluded from clinical trials and evaluation of long term use does not, in these studies, identify potential benefits from placebo effect, benefits of additional therapies or spontaneous resolution of symptoms.

> Analysis of open label data does not enable firm conclusions regarding improvement in function or quality of life with long term opioid treatment. Data from prospective cohort studies suggest that opioids retard return to work after injury and may prolong functional recovery or worsen physical functioning. A Danish cross-sectional study has suggested that when comparing opioid users with non-opioid users, opioid use appears to be associated with poorer self-related quality of life and employment status, increased healthcare use, and worse pain. These studies do not demonstrate causality in relation to opioids and poor function in a number of domains but indicate that the hoped for end points of pain reduction and improvement in function are not being met with long term opioid treatment.

Particularly:

> Important Practice Points

> Patients who do not achieve useful pain relief from opioids within 2-4 weeks are unlikely to gain benefit in the long term.

> Patients who may benefit from opioids in the long term will demonstrate a favourable response within 2-4 weeks.

> Short-term efficacy does not guarantee long-term efficacy.

> Data regarding improvement in quality of life with long-term opioid use are inconclusive.

> There is no good evidence of dose-response with opioids, beyond doses used in clinical trials, usually up to 120mg/day morphine equivalent. There is no evidence for efficacy of high dose opioids in long-term pain.

That "no evidence" bit should worry you. Why doesn't it?

> Those patients and doctors are making the determination that addiction is better than the alternative

Because, as the RCA keep saying: opioids are not treating the pain, and are causing harm to the patient. Patients keep taking the meds not because those meds work, but because they are addicted to those meds.

Presumably because carrying surplus fat has minimal cost relative to the evolutionary likelihood of famine. This is more obvious than the muscle scenario. For muscle, prior to the famine you get to do cool things like punch your neighbor and do pull ups. During a famine, you could consume your muscles as calories. Where is the cost?
Specifically, his job is to be terrifying. His job is to be lethal, so this quote translates to "I want to do well at my job".

Agreed, I just don't feel that an insufficiency of economic activity is the issue right now, as compared to a few years back when it appeared the world might fall into a deflationary spiral or seize up in a liquidity crisis.

I honestly think that one would be more readable and comprehensive in crocs's syntax. It is not about being only readable it is about a way of reasoning to come up with your regex, crocs permit you to better reason than using regex's syntax. When one uses regex's syntax to reason it is sort of using a low level programming lang to reason, when things get complex it doesnt really pay off the shortness of regex's.
The syntactic-sugar form isn't there with the @, but it can still be done in a single line.

The question is if you could leave the country in the first place.
What is happening here is fairly simple: Since each state in the system occurs with the same probability, the distribution that arises is the one that maximizes the entropy. Since the total amount of money is conserved, this means that the mean of the distribution is fixed. The maximum entropy distribution in this case has a geometric shape, which is skewed:

Currently I lean more towards thinking that service-oriented economy is a problem, and in particular that SaaS and DRM are cancer.

How is * aaS anything more than the specialization of labor?

I am the architect responsible for design and maintenance of an in house software platform with a very small staff. We run everything on AWS and use as many of Amazon's services as we are contractionally allowed to - messaging, hosting, logging, security, etc. and outsource other non specialized software to other companies -- mail, source control (github), project management (Version One), time tracking, expense reporting, etc. It's much better than the bad old days where you had to maintain all of your own servers and host everything in house. It lets me concentrate my efforts on my team's core competencies - the platform we are trying to build.

Almost anytime we have a choice between supporting it in house or paying someone else to do it, we lean toward paying someone else to do if it meets our contractual requirements.
By contract, which happens all the time. It doesn't seem like you're interested in having a discussion so much as an argument, so have a nice day.
It isn't bullshit. It's the actual budgetary cost of the war to date, and it's nowhere near $14T.

As I said, you can project all sorts of future costs, or costs to the broader economy. But $14T is a nutty figure to claim was available to spend in lieu of wars and bailouts.
Mobile Strike (Machine Zone) Having Players Revolt?
Machine Zone's popular game, "Mobile Strike" has upset players so much that players have started a boycott against them. Sadly this is the exact same as an article here last year for MZ's popular game, "Game of War" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11974580.

Every issue with "Mobile Strike" is the exact same, people need to share Machine Zone's issues so this can't continue, especially due to the fact that Final Fantasy XV, MZ's newest release, will meet the exact same fate because it is the same as "Game of War" and "Mobile Strike" https://redd.it/6kt1db.

Information on the current "Mobile Strike" player revolt can be found at http://mobilestrikereviews.com/ and https://youtu.be/1-9M2j_ksUM where there is also additional information on the many issues that have been plaguing Mobile Strike. Furthermore, many examples of the glitches and errors have been posted on YouTube, some channels to give a few examples as a starting point are; mobStrik, Demon Fox, Gamer for life, and Suspense101. The most recent “real” ratings on the Google Play Store and Apple iTunes that are 1 star also shed additional light on Mobile Strikes issues, and if there is a way to view the ratings trend over time I am sure it would reflect the ongoing issues.

If anyone plays/played "Mobile Strike" or "Game of War", what are your thoughts and feelings on what is going on? Leave a comment below.
Ah, I thought it is the global policy of 7 years. Maybe it is 5 years in North America though.
While we can blame society for it, we can also see the same pattern in dating strategies of men and women. Men selects mates on appearance, causing social status for women to be primarily based on appearance. Women selects mates on wealth, causing social status for men to be primarily based on having or the ability to raise money. A theory would thus be that parents that want their child to have the highest social status will among other things try to maximize those attributes.

The author conclude that this mean there is a bias against girls.

Violent confrontation is a mode of interaction between all creatures cabable of it. It'll exist as long as there are entities with conflicting interests. A society without "war" is an unstable state. If nobody is willing to use violence, then whatever entity arises that is willing to use violence will be able to capture all the resources/enslave everyone else.
I guess I was expecting something that explains your argument?

I mean, unless I completely misunderstood you, you justified DRM by saying that it was ok because it doesn't get in your way ("it's transparent"). And now you are essentially saying that if it did get in your way, that would also be ok, because that's the purpose of DRM. Or in other words: Whether it does get in your way is completely irrelevant as to whether or not you think DRM is acceptable. So, what was your argument, then?

After having read about self-disclosure I started doing this and never looked back. Also I forgot that I had it from reading a psychology experiment.

I've learned that it mostly works. In some cases though people see you as someone who doesn't always say something relevant.

What also works (more specifically) is: you share a certain secret about you, and if that person has a similar secret you get to hear it as well. At one night, I was with a traveler and we were both in a country we both didn't live in. We self-disclosed quite a bit and then agreed to tell each other every juicy detail of our lives without ever seeing each other again. We poured our hearts out to each other and we told each other all kinds of secrets that we told no one else. I learned a lot about life that night :)

Self-disclosure is awesome. You give people the opportunity to relate back. And people, in general, are nice.
There's some truth to this. Junk food is over-processed, doesn't have much in the way of nutrient content, and is usually loaded with too much sugar and salt. Everyone knows that.

But I think this comment is overestimating how many calories you'd need and how concerned you'd need to be about nutrient balancing, even on a fairly intense training program. Most people, in their first few years of weight lifting, aren't going to need much or any increase to their daily calories that they wouldn't come by naturally from getting hungry due to the exercise. For people who want to lose some weight, moderating the size and frequency of meals and cutting out obviously bad food will have the quickest and most visible results.

It's far more important to just hit the weights consistently. That's where you get results. I started about 2 years ago and dropped about 40 pounds without ever worrying about the diet side of things or counting calories. The only real changes I made were to start taking a daily multivitamin and to make an effort to avoid sugared soda, fruit juice (has a ton of sugar), junk food, etc.

A Detailed Elliptic Curve Cryptography Tutorial
I really like the way Common Lisp's ppcre library works: the functions all accept either standard strings or a s-expression version of the regular expression and then, using compiler macros, all invocations with statically-determinable regular expressions get compiled to some internal representation at compile-time rather than generating that representation at run-time.

The business I mentioned didn't fail. We were just forced to become more aggressive about protecting our IP, and contrary to everyone telling me otherwise, that strategy was very obviously effective even with still a relatively light touch. Like A/B testing a web site and hitting on a simple change that bumps your conversions by 20%, even making something a little less convenient to rip and share can make quite a big difference.

The objection to rippers is that we were effectively operating on a form of rental model. If someone is paying a lower price to rent your stuff, you can't let them rip all of it and keep it permanently anyway, and this was explicitly contrary to our terms. Obviously so was sharing it on major hosting services and even trying to monetize it, which sadly wasn't unheard of either.

I believe in this case spelling is mimicking pronunciation.

In my accent, at least, I pronounce the phrase 'extr_vert-introvert' with an open A, contrasting to the pursed O of introvert.

But if I say the word 'extr_verts', by itself, I pronounce it with an O, identical to 'introvert'.

It's difficult because for me, at least, in my accent, both are degrading to an unstressed vowel anyway, so it's a fine gradation.

Your entire comment boils down to repeating Sturgeon's Law over and over, which can be summarized as "ninety percent of everything is crap," which is to say, your comment is obnoxious and off-topic to the discussion of Digital Restrictions Management and its negative consequences (DRM only has negative consequences).

However, there is an idea there. HN user https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=maxxxxx made a very astute observation as to why so many "industries" (rich people that control companies) are so adamant about ramming DRM down everyone's throats:

Copyright and IP (and probably real estate) are pretty much the only way for capitalists to make money the more things like internet, 3D printing, AI, robotics and so on are available to the masses. To me it's the only way to keep the current power structures intact so for a lot of powerful people copyright laws are probably the most important laws. They don't need the state for personal protection (they can pay for security guards instead of police) but they need the state for protecting their livelihood.

The system you propose to invent is redistribution of wealth and socialism: free education for those that want to advance their abilities, and universal basic income to allow them the time to express those abilities. Liberating knowledge from rent-seeking should be the prerogative of everyone that wants to improve the human condition and advance humanity.
I agree that this is the shape of the answer, but I think that fat being preferential to muscle as a calorie store leaves not a lot of room to believe that muscle had substantial other advantages to health. Now of course, it might not be having the muscle that is healthful, but the activities involved in creating it.
Why You Shouldn’t Follow a Fad Diet Such as KETO or IIFYM
I pitched Niko (he passed for now, too early) -- and this interview does capture his style pretty well. My cofounder and I found him very smart, but also personable and genuinely interested in what the startup is doing. He asked good questions.

As for the '2 Underrated Success Factors' -- I think when Niko calls it 'timing,' you wouldn't be wrong to call it 'luck' (he hedges a bit in the interview). Any mental model for startup success that doesn't incorporate a huge dollop of luck is probably overfitting. But that's my two cents, not the article or Bonatsos's.
