The enthusiastic replies on this thread are understandable, but disappointing to see: we all need to be less credulous regarding the lay science press, and especially the lay medical press.

I would love nothing more than to have this kind of therapy be a reality for my patients. However, I am deeply skeptical of this report.

Why? Because

- hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a big industry of quackery behind it[1][2]

- oxygen is a standard part of medical care and can just as easily be harmful as helpful

- because there is just no way in hell that oxygen is going to reverse cell death.

- this is in newsweek, and not a peer-reviewed journal.

And if there was no cell death, then the recovery is almost inevitable.

Some posters are skeptical because 15 minutes is impossible.

On the contrary: the key point is the temperature. The article says the water was 4 degrees C. That is cold enough that you can recover fully. In fact, the most amazing recovery is also one of the best-documented: with a 66-minute submersion in Utah that was followed by complete recovery[3] (this is a far more interesting article than the original post - it was in 1988, and utilized extracorporeal rewarming). This observation was used to pursue hypothermia in other causes of anoxic injury, which is clinically used today. I'm sure the 66-minute case also got oxygen during the recovery, but to say that it was due to oxygen (which is standard of care) rather than the temperature is silly.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but this article is just clickbait junk.

Do you have a reference? I would be very (and pleasantly) surprised to hear this.

Baxter had two core features: its OS and its compliant joints, with the aim of it working next to humans both safely and easily reprogrammably.

They had to abandon the OS and switch to ROS which removed the point of being safe for use by naive people.
Star Trek doesn't so much predict as it does inspire. We keep getting Trekky things in the real world because people want to make Trekky things; there's much work going on right now on tricorders, more directly inspired Trek tech.
> the Christian God is in some sense "magical" ... In that case the brain might be, for example, a magic antenna to another plane.

If those things were shown to really exist, then they would be part of what we understand to be our reality. So they wouldn't be magical, it's just that our understanding of what makes up reality could be incomplete.

Some of the advice here is pretty bad.

Firstly, examine your own motivations. I find that 95% of people who tell other people they're doing it wrong claim it's for the "good of the company" but really just enjoy feeling better than other people. This is why they fail at ever making friends or convincing people, because they are unwilling to give the advice unless they make themselves the larger person in the process.

If you want to help this one individual, and your motivations are pure, then befriend the individual, and after a few hours see if you can find a way for them to solve it on their own by offering yourself as a sounding board. If done right, they won't realize the degree to which you helped them.

But if you're afraid of over-a-year's worth of time being wasted, it sounds like the larger issue is how inefficient your company is. I'd either make peace with that or try to solve the problem at its root.
Maybe your comment is correct in whole, but your examples immediately brought to mind science headlines from the past few years. Specifically the use of Near InfraRed (NIR) light to treat Multiple Sclerosis, the use of blue light to heal wounds and disinfect, reading the states of neurons in hydra and also in mice, implanting false memories into mice, and a plethora of transportable medical scanners. The implementation is not what a viewer would imagine, but they all meet the descriptions as written. Even if we are not near, we are undoubtedly approaching "Star Trek" technology by so narrowly attempting to replicate it.

> Greeks are a prime example

I would love to hear from a Greek on this.

It's admittedly a very biased source, but I was following mr. Varoufakis writing/interviews back when the negotiations were being held and my understanding is that the "intense crisis" is, at this point and with the policies in place, mathematically impossible to fix (with really dire results for the country and people). If that's true then I can definitely understand the Greeks wanting to at least have their coffee breaks...
Thanks for sharing it. :)
> I don't do complex 10 way joins for apps.

That hits home. There's a lot of this in the legacy code base, and yeah, it's painful.

Interesting approach. Thanks for the discussion. I'll have to ponder this a while.
One can't control those that must deploy IPv6 first. That's the problem NAT solves. Developing NAT was likely not easy; consider how many implementations f it up anyway.

Why "introducing?" There are already products on the market that have this. Most of the lightbulbs in my house operate on a Bluetooth mesh network. It's slower than the wifi-connected bulbs, but the range is much greater since each bulb only needs to be able to see the next-nearest bulb. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the lights out on the driveway.
> I think I understand your point, that we have so much more to learn we're not even able to quantify what we don't know. But this is not some kind of endless quest. We're dealing with a machine in the end with finite complexity and eventually it will be understood fundamentally.

I see this as agreeing with the person you're replying to. We can make certain limited interventions which are amazing, but the kind of complete understanding that you're referring to is a long, long way away. Even when we do have a treatment, we often do not fully understand how they work.
I don't trade much. Pretty much just holding onto my btc parking it on Coinbase. I hear that slow transactions are part of the problem that led to the pending possible fork. That transaction fees have gone up. How much higher has it gotten, e.g. how much would it cost to move 1 btc from Coinbase to my Bitcoin-QT Core Wallet.dat and then how much to move it from Bitcoin-QT wallet.dat to a HW.1 hardware wallet? Thanks. Could the whole scare be to generate fees and sell hardware wallets? (Wish MtGox had made good while btc was lower.)
> These are landmark achievements, and they were all predicted by a show which ended in 1994, before the advent of the internet.

Umm. I was reading about TNG on the web in 1994. The internet had been around for a long time before the web was useful to ordinary people. Email has been around since the 70s. Search engines were certainly limited, but were already available in the early 90s.

All these predictions succeeded because they were "predicting" incremental improvement on something already known to exist.

Let's call them lunch+siesta breaks then.

Edit: to be clear, I agree that most people doesn't have siestas and three-hours breaks only remain common in some sectors (retail) and places (small cities). The original article doesn't make much sense, by the way.
> is one of the things that normalises it.

Why ?

It depends, coping with the imperfection of society is also something to work on. Accepting its flaws lets you walk around it. Sometimes it's not the individual who is the problem, but it doesn't mean he should not accept how the society is flawed.

Mental healthcare and therapy have an individualistic approach because that's what they do, how else? To change society you would need politics, and that's another matter entirely.

I often say that mental illness doesn't really exist, because as long as we don't understand the brain there is no "normal" behavior. But as the same time you can't deny that society has its norms.
Because it's very hard to figure out where the top of a bubble is, and if you short a bubble asset too long before the peak, you go broke, even if you are correct.

This is definitely one way of prevention.

I know several people in their 50s suffer from hearing loss, for no obvious cause. They didn't play band, didn't go concert or club, nothing suspicious. And doctors have yet to find the cause. That got me thinking if, apart from loudness, there are other obvious culprit for degenerating hearing

It seems mostly positive to me. Stories about cryptocoins get upvoted. Good discussion is generated, it seems like the audience is much broader than /r/bitcoin (and related subreddits). It's a great opportunity for HN to learn more about cryptocoins.

IMO it's totally appropriate to talk about: worthless altcoins, worthless ICOs/assets/tokens, skepticism about ethereum (especially wrt centralization).
I get the sentimentality. But about the only part of the show that I feel resonates in the truly somewhat predictive mode, is how many tablet style interfaces they had. And even then, that is a bit of a stretch.

I'd wager most of the things that you are quoting were less pioneered by Star Trek, and moreso popularized to an audience. In particular, using a computer to find information, talking to a computer, and sending messages electronically have long been staples in science fiction. Before science fiction, the only thing that was different was the "electronically" part. And really, I don't know as even Star Trek was treating "electronically" any different than earlier stories used "magically."
That's interesting. I regularly drink soft drinks, and written on the can is the government-mandated notice of how much of my "daily recommended intake" is in the can. For sugar, it says 40%.

Children are known to be able to survive much longer without oxygen than adults. I'm not sure we know the exact reason for it though.

In the Netherlands swimming instruction is compulsory for children. Is that also the case in Belgium? It's most certainly not the case in the US.

Request a meeting, and make sure the subject demonstrates that it is about feedback and/or an offer of mentorship/assistance, but do not add specific details. Pick the term based on their personality. If they refuse, that's ok. If you want to push, grab some "water cooler" FaceTime, and try to suggest that you need it, gently.

In the meeting, be direct, but not accusative. Remember, you have concerns, but you don't have their context. You are wrong about things, even if your conclusion is correct and you can help. Present an offer to help. Explain that you are concerned by what you see, explain that you know you don't see the whole picture and would like to know more so that you can understand and you can help. Spend as much time as you can listening and asking questions to understand why things are as they are. You are establishing trust and understanding here, and that's your responsibility.

Once you know enough, you will know how to help. Remember to continue to apply the same non-assuming practices and offer optional assistance. They are making their own choices for reasons you can't always know. If they continue making bad choices, make notes and provide direct feedback about them. Direct feedback is explaining something specific and why you have concerns with it. When you say you have concerns, do not say "this is wrong", say you would prefer something else, or you might do something else. This is to enable discussion, and you need to discuss these things to be effective.

If you go through this for months and you have formed a relationship, but things aren't improving then it is time for a pip, and you should be able to work with the relevant colleagues providing clear evidence and guidance.

What a horrible story... and horrible family. Once they fked up her completely for rest of her life (because she had mood swings??), they kept ignoring her just to not cause embarrassment to family. Heck, maybe he was actually relieved that she won't cause any troubles to their political careers.

And these people get to rule the strongest country in the world, and are actually regarded as one of the best in the office, ever.

I hope if this would happen these days her father would be jailed for life (I know they don't perform them anymore, just hoping that law matured enough).
Applications Now Open for the Google Policy Fellowship in Europe and Africa
Okay, I think we're agreeing on the definition. You do agree that this particular backdoor depends on a successful phishing attack, right?

FWIW, I don't think that glossary entry you linked is very good. It calls a backdoor an application, but a backdoor is not always an application -- which I think you already know & mentioned in this thread. A RAT (remote access tool) is definitely not synonymous with backdoor in the common understanding. A backdoor can also be an open port, a bad password, or a variety of other entry methods. Wikipedia's entry on backdoor is better than the one you linked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing)

If a backdoor were always an application, and that was the common definition, then I think the question above wouldn't have been asked. One problem is that backdoor sometimes implies a vulnerability exists before any malware is installed. To call something a backdoor can send the wrong message about what someone concerned about this should do to mitigate the risks. Knowing it's a phishing attack is pretty important because it means you can and should be suspicious of apps asking for credentials and permissions. If you think it's primarily a back door, you might wrongly assume that you need to update a security patch, or that there's nothing you can do to reduce your risks.

This is why I believe @debatem1's question is reasonable and agree with it - to title this a backdoor is technically true, but it seems misleading.

As usual, this is an excellent article by Robin. Well-written, and full of great information.

It's worth noting that both the React and Redux teams (including Dan Abramov and myself) agree that you should focus on learning React first, and _then_ learn Redux. That way there's fewer new concepts and terms to learn at once, and once you understand React, you'll have a better appreciation for what kinds of problems Redux can help solve. That's not to say you _can't_ learn them both at once, just that it's the suggested approach that will work best for most people.

I have seen same thing in India. In small towns most of the markets will close down for few hrs in afternoon. In summers to avoid heat and in winter to sit in sun. Again with globalization I think this is going away in India too.
The way I see it, they are either:

A. Ready and willing to acknowledge personal failings in an effort to mitigate them.

B. Stubborn and in denial, but a painful moving on and the subsequent self reflection will get them on the right path.

C. Extremely stubborn and they may go their whole life blaming others for their failures.

It sounds like you fell somewhere between group A and B when you were younger. Life pushed you into group B when it might have been possible that a mentor could have helped you be in group A. It is also entirely possible that you were firmly in group B at that age and the 'wasted' 12-18 months was actually just a necessary learning experience that school could not provide.

For the moment let's assume that there is an equal chance they are an A, a B, or a C.
Talking to A could help them if everything goes right. Talking to B would be at best pointless. Talking to C would probably backfire internally. I don't like those odds.

If you are confident that talking to them will help them and that it is worth the risk, don't tell them anything. It sounds like the improvement they need must come from within. You can ask them general questions that get them thinking in the right direction.
We're disenfranchised in the current system for other reasons. One is that the country is simply too big, and two is that there's a huge rural/urban divide in culture, and it's growing. Giving power back to the states isn't going to fix that. First of all, the states' borders are not drawn to reflect different groupings of people. I already mentioned how many modern cities span multiple states. NYC spans at least 3 states! Giving more power to Illinois isn't going to appease the rural voters there, because now the Chicago voters will have even more power over what happens in rural IL; if anything, they're going to be much angrier. The Federal government, by design, gives disproportionate power to rural states, so rural voters everywhere benefit from this, to the detriment of city-dwellers.

If you really want something closer to a confederacy, the first step is eliminating all 50 states and redrawing all the state borders. But this isn't going to work well either, because then the rural people will want their own, separate states. But then after a while, they'll find out that their states have no economic power at all, and can't even provide basic services, because there's insufficient population and tax base to do so. So they'll effectively turn into 3rd-world countries, and people will empty out of them even more into the cities, if the city-states don't clamp down on immigration.

If you want to see examples of countries where they have both urban and rural populations, and very little internal strife, these places exist now. They're in Scandinavia. They don't need to separate the urban and rural people into semi-autonomous regions to get along. But they aren't big countries with hundreds of millions of people either. And they're very culturally homogeneous, something we just don't have here, and likely will not any time soon, even if you just look at the dominant caucasian population: there's very little similarity between the cultures of Trump-voting white nationalists and urban liberal Millennials, and the two actively despise each other and want completely different things as far as government policy.
What's the point of going to a really loud concert to kill your ears from machines blasting sound just because you happen to be situated in a certain part of the audience? It's just a tradeoff for the designers of the show - not a time honored tradition - but it's your ears.

And even if it is a time honored tradition like hazing rituals - would you smoke if everyone did it?

Finally, what's the point of going to loud bar "just to catch up" with your friend? I never understood those people who stand there talking to their friend in the loudest bars.
