That entirely depends on, e.g., the false positive rate and the specificity of the test. Couple of quick examples of the top of my head:

* A false positive for a terminal condition or cancer may have a poor effect on the patient's mental well-being AND make them less likely to submit to testing in the future (see e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23540978 - "We conclude that the experience of having a false-positive screening mammogram can cause breast cancer-specific psychological distress that may endure for up to 3 years, and reduce the likelihood that women will return for their next round of mammography screening."). Depending on your false positive rate, that may result in worse outcomes overall.

* I had an MRI on my head a few years ago, and a _very_ small growth (<2mm IIRC, small enough that some future scans weren't even certain it was there) was identified. Everyone involved is certain that it is an irrelevant finding, but I'm now stuck with yearly MRIs - both a cost to the NHS and a nightmare for me (it sets off an anxiety disorder).

* Parent suggests getting a hsCRP test. Whilst potentially useful, it's also non-specific - it'll be raised by pretty much any recent illness/injury/general inflammation, and will always be raised if, e.g., you have arthritis. You would likely need further testing to determine the cause (not necessarily free of risk/cost), and your false positive rate is likely to be higher if you are testing without other reasons to suspect it will be useful.

That's not to say all preemptive tests are a bad idea -- that's clearly not the case -- but as I initially said, it's a balancing act. Blindly added more early testing will not necessarily improve patient outcomes overall; they may in fact have a detrimental effect.
That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing this! I'll take a detailed look at it :)
Oh I think Trump does a great job of displaying his emotions through live press conferences. It's just that a lot of people feel quite differently about these issues from the way he does.

It's not just changes to stop data being thrown away. This issue has been painful: https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/pull/6143

Across multiple businesses, they've upgraded servers and got MySQL 5.7 installed, only to wonder why the app has stopped working. People didn't expect that from a point release/the default new operating system package. We could argue the point, but it's the expectation of businesses vs software engineers.
I find this really frustrating about tech investing. Much of the early investment opportunities are only available to the richest. It's an insider's game.
But do these "already working" collations include accent-insensitive variants? I didn't think so, and I don't think they are coming in PostgreSQL 10 either. Do you have other information on this?
What's with the "Clojure is dying" meme? In the last few months I've seen an uptake in Clojure jobs.

It helped Obama as well. I don't think it's disparaging towards Obama at all to point out that he basically won a Nobel Peace Price ten months into his presidency because he was not Bush.
I am not sure why you are being downvoted. I think this is clearly true.

I live in the SE and from the opposite end it's not that great. A/C bill is high and only getting higher. And some days the trip outside leaves you drenched in sweat. Our "good" weather is really only from Nov-March and then it's a humid inferno.

My sister lives in Charleston - she says the hotels are full, even though many demanded a 3-night minimum stay.

If you're driving somewhere Monday afternoon, you might want to pull over - not just because that way you'll get to see the eclipse, but to avoid all the people craning their neck to see it as they drive.

Monday probably should have just been declared to be a national holiday. No one is going to get anything done anyway.
Doesn't eBay use AMP? The issue is how you use it. I believe eBay uses it for the entry product page, and then any subsequent hit goes to the website itself.

Why do you say Clojure is dying quickly? That seems at odds with its community, which is continuing to grow and the language keeps evolving. I've seen several new companies and start ups in my area adopt it for their main work, just in the last year.

While gloves are useful in some cases (e.g., moving splintery and damaged lumber), with woodworking they actually significantly increase the risk of injury. You need the finesse and control of your hands when handling materials and tools, because gloves have a tendency to get caught in rotating machinery (e.g., drill press) and the decreased accuracy means you will be making mistakes in your movements.

For this reason manufacturers tend to warn against the use of gloves in the user manual (while strongly recommending goggles, respirator, and ear protection).
What's particularly infuriating about this is that the phone company knows which numbers it owns. It can tell if a call coming in from another provider is spoofed to a number it owns and block it, but they don't currently do that. If every phone company did this, it would significantly cut down on the number of bogus calls because you could only spoof calls on the same network that you're on.
I share the same sentiment, but I think it could be that P!=NP is an unprovable statement. Could be that there's something fundamental about the nature of computing which makes it impossible to prove or disprove it.
A good suggestion. I probably should've put more information in my original post. Hopefully I can find a hardware store that has Shade 14 goggles/glasses in stock (if I can't find otherwise suitable eye protection.) At least checking inventories online, local big box hardware stores are out of stock of these, too! Even the DIY welding lenses being sold standalone are OOS.
I would guess that one of the big reasons that there are a "mad-rush of millennials" into select cities is that most of the ambitious, type-A personalities used to try and pick a mate in the high density environment of a selective university. That is not nearly as common now but un-paired people still want/need a high density of potential mates that meet their minimum standards. Choosing what happening city to move to after college is now much more important instead of getting a job(s) and moving directly to a home selected for raising the kids.
I wonder what effect the council had on him. Did he ever take them seriously?

I'm personally most interested in approaches to AI not based as heavily on dataset-collecting. There's a now almost standard method of: 1) first curate a nice, large dataset (often explicitly labeled by humans), then 2) carefully engineer a model architecture that has good performance on the problem represented by that dataset. Example: dataset is ImageNet, problem is tagging images. Obviously there's a lot of practical value in that, and it's a perfectly reasonable thing to research and use, but that's only one specific kind of inference.
Is there a reason not to block that 10,000th number? I'm having a hard time imagining circumstances under which you'd get a legitimate call from your own telephone. In fact, that seems like it might even be a good way to confuse people into picking up, at least once.
not sure if this is meant facetiously, but one tenet of shop safety is that you don't wear gloves when using tools that could snag and wrap your hand around them. drill presses, grinders, table saws.
Yup - my wife called our local Lowes and our local grocer chain, and they did not have any! I'm sure there's some... somewhere. But the problem is that I don't know where that "somewhere" is, and we've contacted over a dozen places with no success.
Matt Levine says it best:

"[..] but I have to confess that it seems odd to me to denounce Nazism out of fealty to shareholder value. You can just denounce Nazism because you're not a Nazi! This is a financial newsletter, but I have never assumed that the operations of capital are autonomous and self-executing, or that executives are robots who are programmed to maximize shareholder value to the exclusion of all other considerations. Corporations exist in society, and are not above society's concerns. Businesses operate through human beings, who remain human even in their roles as CEOs. One would hope."

Notice you ignore the blacklist, which is the more relevant point.

As far as Chomsky goes, this is actually a great illustration of the problem. I think he's a Communist, you disagree. Well guess what- a lot of the 'protestors' in Charlottesville were white Nationalists with Nazi overtones, some were hardcore Nazis, some were dabbling alt-righters. So who decides which or any of them gets to protest/speak? You, me, the government, Google?

Its not just a slippery slope, its an avalanche of stupidity to try to do viewpoint censorship.
You can use the MacOS Network settings to connect to most types of VPN (hit "+" and fill in the forms to add a new connection). For free, open-source clients, Tunnelblick is very common.
"CPSC Acting Chairman Ann Marie Buerkle said she was also concerned that the rule might force companies to license technology from SawStop, which she said might create a monopoly."

I think this is a valid sentiment. Why should the federal government literally award a monopoly to one company? This is not consumer protection. People know what they are getting into when dealing with a saw. This is government overreach. If people want the safety, and if a $400 stopsaw is has equivalent functionality (excluding sensing tech) as a $200 normal saw, than the increased demand will prove that the extra $200 is necessary.
What he probably means is pay less and get more work done.
But it doesn't inspire much faith in those investing in living in Denver (by say, purchasing a very expensive home) when big capital doesn't see it fit to finance a building meant to last a century. Do they not have confidence that people will still be wanting to pay these same exorbitant rents in 2040?

I have friends who are social-justicey and I've read a lot online, and it continually feels like Social Justice is just an extended application of marxism. (I.e. there are some disadvantaged groups, and it's because the system, so take down the system by any means necessary!!) And Marxism itself suffers from being more of a critcism than offering an alternative moral system. http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/13/book-review-singer-on-m... I'm telling you so that you know that I've done the research.

And I hear you, I also get the feeling that mainstream political discourse is just different camps shouting out eachother's most obvious flaws. And our last election was a _perfect example of that_. When surveyed for why someone was going to vote Trump/Clinton, the most common answer was: "Well they're not Clinton/Trump!!". [citation needed]

But like, where do we go from there? We just can't talk to eachother because the other side is just trying to fuck with us? We gotta keep trying. Even if AlexRohde is not asking questions in good faith, you've got a chance to win over the audience.
And how do you know that that the Bitcoin mixer you decided to use is not actually operated by the FBI and that they are actually keeping a private log tying bitcoins in with bitcoins out?

But your claim seems to be that they're racist by default. I grew up in a poor ethnically homogenous country at a time when there was only one TV channel. I didn't meet or even see anyone of a different ethnicity until my early teens. Why didn't I have any negative feelings towards them despite my complete lack of exposure?

Indeed, and there are cases where I want to be protected from my own inattention, when the stakes are high enough.
It's funny how open the market for browser automation is. Everyone needs to switch off phantomJS in the next few years and is looking for the easiest option.

This is very common in Sweden. It's good for doctors but not so much for patients, depending a bit on the speciality. This is because you lose some quality of care when you see a different doctor each time. But of course a fresh point of view can also sometimes be an advantage and bring new knowledge.

That said, this is an inevitable development in healthcare and I welcome your approach using software to automate the process.

Source I'm a doctor. I have done temp work through agencies such as this one. And I'm a software developer.

Scott Aaronson is confident that it will be refuted by the end of the week:

On the other hand, his original post contained an short explanation (one or two sentences) what he believed to be a flaw in the paper, which he has removed since then.
That's exactly the point I'm making.
I was thrown by your claim, but that all makes perfect sense.

Venture out past East and Alexander then. There is TONS of nightlife for adults. Revelry, Nosh, Cure, Branca, Cub Room, Lento, Roux, Nox, Goodluck, Daily Refresher, Lux, and the general park ave area are all a good start. Buffalo's college scene is MUCH bigger.

Aside from safety, what do you see as nicer about the sawstop? I love my Powermatic 66, they can pry it from my cold, dead hands :)
I worked as a telemarketer for a month or so (couldn't handle it). By federal law we are required to remove you from our list if you request it. Though most don't, and management actively discourages putting people on the DNC list. You can report them to the FCC though.

Also, pressing "0" on legit telemarketers usually takes you to a rep or automatically puts you on the DNC.

To the mods ...

I understand why you've changed the title, but I believe that in this case in doing so you have reduced its usefulness. Since you've not even changed it to the title of the actual article, it's clear that you have given this some thought. Having spent that time, I think your decision is wrong, and don't understand the reasoning behind this change.

To other readers, the title I originally gave was:

Understanding the math behind
the magic const 0x5f3759df and
the fast inverse sqrt.

Please note: This isn't a complaint - I'm providing this here so the information the original title I gave isn't lost.

That's a lot more threads than iTerm uses for me, but it's less memory. Typically my work computer (a 2015 15" MBP) tends to be bottlenecked on RAM, too. 16GB sadly is pretty much the minimum viable amount of RAM for me to do full stack development these days.
Very interesting guy! They should show this to every high school in the USA. Teacher: "See this, that's why you need to learn math!"
Cloudflare's AMP cache is even worse. If someone goes to a website behind/rehosted on Cloudflares AMP that has a link from that site to a third party site (say, yours or mine) that third party site will be spidered and also rehosted on Cloudflare AMP.

Then when someone goes to the intentionally Cloudflare AMP site and clicks through to your site your actual domain never gets the hit. Instead all traffic remains within Cloudflare and you never see it.

Additionally, after 2 months of trying to contact anyone at Cloudflare about this exact situation happening with the most popular page on my domain (saw the cloudflare AMP bot in the logs) I still can't get a real person. Their support is attrocious.
You don't increase adoption by making the learning curve steeper.

Rust does its best given the circumstances, but people's top complaint is that its hard to learn.

Having seen a few of these I also strongly recommend to learn about phenomena you can see during a eclipse. Look up things like Bailey's Beads, shadow band and the awesome stuff that will happen to your shadow leading up to the eclipse.

Ask HN: How to find remote jobs as a Computer Science student
I am a Computer Science student based on Europe. I have plenty of spair time and would like to work remotely in order to both acquire experience and earn money to pay my expenses.

The problem is that all the open positions I see appear to require a lot of proven experience in certain domains in other jobs (even for positions which are marked as "junior"), so this is a chicken and egg situation.

I'm more interested in pure Computer Science related jobs than in web development, but at this point I would take whatever.

I have tried many different technologies and know a bit of them, but my strength is, as I see it, the fact that, once I'm motivated and focused, I can learn and become productive fast.

Any help or tips would be much appreciated
