If you have ADHD it’s not so simple. When I’m off my pills — which is to say every day of my life before I was diagnosed — I don’t really make conscious decisions about such things. I open my computer to work and find myself on Twitter or Facebook or HN or whatever 20min later without thinking about it.

I mean that literally with no hyperbole. ADHD manifests from an under developed or under stimulated prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for such task prioritization and decision making. Without stimulants I’m not really making conscious decisions about most things. Much like how you’ve probably driven your commute sometimes and arrived without really much memory of how you got there (“driving on autopilot”). That’s every moment of every day in the most extreme ADHD case (it’s a spectrum of course and you should seek treatment if you think you’re anywhere on it, even if the above sounds more extreme than you).

I think it may bother me because I see it as insulting our/my intelligence.

'We looked at X and you won't believe what we found!'

Why yes, yes I will believe what you found, provided you give clear evidence, explain your methodology, and provide credible citations where needed.

I was worried it was only me who felt like this, as I'd not seen anyone else mention it. It really does bias my reading of the article afterwards. I should probably figure out a way to work past that bias, but I guess I should be grateful that I recognize it in myself.

Again, nothing major - it just irks me a bit. I'm not going to rage-quit or anything.
The comment was uncivil because it was unduly personal. Also it was harsh and unsubstantive, and guilty of its own charge (making assumptions) to boot. All that makes for a bad combo. I realize you don't see it that way, but that's because we all misjudge how our comments land with others online.

Moderating this sort of thing is routine to the point of tedium on Hacker News and doesn't have to do with your specific views, let alone 'silencing dissent' (a rather bombastic phrase which I hear a lot, from every ideological quarter). It just has to do with people's tendency to attack each other on the internet, which the spirit of HN is to try to work around, in the hope of good and interesting conversation. That's all.

Actually these attacks mirror each other across all ideological divides. We moderate them routinely as best we can, and then people routinely accuse us of siding with their enemies [1], but (a) these claims are contradictory and so cancel each other out, and (b) I'm pretty sure the majority of readers trust that we're not biased that way—or at least not ridiculously so, because our job would be impossible if we were.

>Typically the SS number is used for identification, and you have password + one-time code on top of that.

Isn't that what this was addressing? The attacker has to get both your password and one-time codes before you change either. All the ID related stuff is used like usernames, not keys.

If an attacker does get both, you presumably go in to a government office, have your fingerprints taken, choose a new password, and get given a new set of codes.

> HN's audience has demonstrated itself

I can't agree with that. These perceptions are notoriously in the eye of the beholder.

Let me put it this way: HN "demonstrates" a lot of things—that's how user-generated content works. People pick the ones that stand out to them and call that "HN", but they could just as easily have picked the opposite ones, and indeed many others do.

> it's not a particularly diverse one

That's particularly off; it's hugely diverse (or at least divided), which is why the generalizations people make about it are contradictorily all over the place. At some point I need to put together a big list to illustrate this. I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who sees it, since it's my job to look at this stuff all day.

> And it wasn't just this comment that was flagged. It was my other one

It's easy to understand why it was flagged: conducting disagreement via "Bullshit", "Cry me a river", etc. breaks the site guidelines. Changing the subject slightly, I sometimes wonder whether this bullying, pugnacious approach to online commenting doesn't contribute to the very exclusionary dynamic that people on your side of the argument deplore. I deplore it too, and can't help but notice how comments on both sides can be equally bro-ey, douchey, and wincey. It makes HN less welcoming all around. Many people seem to think they get a pass for being right (one doesn't, of course), and then use that to vent what feel more like personal fumes.

In case it helps, I don't disagree with your underlying views (though mostly I don't read comments closely for that—it's too hard, and there are too many). Perhaps you noticed that I replied no less critically to the person you were objecting to, who broke the site guidelines as well.

However, after you've worked so hard on this, it seems silly not to put more effort on the website: the description of the app is minimal, and you don't even have screenshots.

Aren't the whatsapp messages sent over the net? I.e. wouldn't it be the case that the government could only see the outgoing IP address? I guess if they were very well organized and working with the telecoms, they could then maybe see the outgoing IP and assuming that IP were on a telecom network they also controlled they could turn that into a person. This is all assuming that they could even figure out which encrypted outgoing packets correspond to calls (maybe this isn't too bad considering call streams would maybe have a fairly standard packet rate, etc.?).

Either way seems pretty hard without direct help from whatsapp.
How to Create a RetroPie on Raspberry Pi – Graphical Guide
This is a lot like an open source Unity. It is trying to be pretty comprehensive, and while a little thin in areas, they are doing a great job-- a lot of value for the "cost" (which is namely, learning the new platform.)

The 2.x series is current, but 3.0 which is in the final stages is a big upgrade, with physically based rendering, a lot better shadow system, support for multiple programming/scripting languages and a visual programming language (for designers and artists to use, though its fully capable large scripts are harder to do visually.)

Very excited about this project and can't wait for 3.0.

True, but they could easily get the same deduction for wages/salaries/pay, same rules apply really and labor costs are probably less gamed in terms of balance sheets.

Benefits on the job were probably needed at a time but currently they are favoring large caps like you mention. This is ultimately the worst legacy thing that unions left behind eventhough they helped pay go up and brought some good things. Unions should have always been on more pay not benefits. We have got to start leveling the playing field for small/medium business and even self-proprietors. Removing health insurance from employers is key, this will also help being able to change jobs more frequently and not contribute to ageism so much.

Insurance companies group people by company usually so small companies are high risk, and individuals even more, the worst way to spread risk. Plus as companies grow more and wages grow less, companies will start to reach a feudal/sharecropper like state where you starting a business is nearly impossible because there is no way to compete.

Which then negatively impacts new business creation, small business employment, entrepreneurship rates, geographic mobility, etc.

Agreed, this also makes it much easier to start companies in places other than the US that also have a single-payer/individual or private market option and not require the employer to provide it. Employers handling our healthcare and benefits really has added drag to our economy and entrepreneurial/innovative spirit.

The only scandal was against Fillon, the candidate that was much more like traditional establishment. There was no scandal at all among the left side of the spectrum, there just could not agree on anything.

Without the scandal, it could have been Fillon president, so even more establishment, with corruption as an added bonus. I fail to see how it was an operation of the "elites".

I second this advice. My symptoms didn't show up until I started being challenged - which was about the middle of college. Took a while before going to therapy and even longer to get medication, but it's been good so far.

They (http://travelnq.com/australian-box-jellyfish/) or their food (https://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/saltwater-science/what_...) might move vertically between day and night, with the jellyfish being unable to follow their food on part of their depth range. For example, jellyfish might get sunburn at low depths.

(Aside: that first link, from 2014, already states that box jellyfish sleep, so this doesn’t seem to be as new as this article claims it to be. What (I guesstimate) is new is that they did pharmacological work to show that the jellyfish didn’t simply ‘not move’)

Credit reporting is always consensual. In the same way you agree on the interest rate, fees, payment schedule, etc., you agree to a credit pull at the beginning of a loan and reporting on your payments over time.

Maybe you feel entitled to be extended a loan without any credit reporting. I, personally, feel entitled to a loan without any interest. But neither of us are going to get what we want.

Central banks don't 'control' the currency supply... Money creation by private bank lending is where most money in modern economies comes from, and adjusting interest rates is such a blunt instrument that they are really powerless to meaningfully control it. Central banks are important for a currency that is stable and usable long-term (if managed properly), but really should be working with the Government to control the money supply through the Government's fiscal measures (taxing and spending) and by prudential (lending) regulation, instead of the current ineffective Monetarist fantasy...
Its true, Satoshi could have burned his coins. There are several legitimate reasons not to do so-- one of which is that it might have indicated a belief that bitcoin was a failure, and such a shock in the early days would have been bad.

If satoshi sometime shows up and starts moving his coins, that's fine by me. He deserves to be super rich, because what he created is revolutionary.

Notice he said "it looks like he doesn't even want to be paid for it".

But also realize, there's the satoshi coins, but there's no way to know how many other addresses he mined to, and that its quite possible he has 100k coins that have been moving since he disappeared and nobody knows they are his.

Or he could have started mining after he disappeared or started investing cash to buy them after, and still be very rich.

In my country (Iceland) everyone uses their own containers and nobody drinks bottled water but tourists. In fact you never even saw still bottled water in stores up until just a few years ago. The water that comes out of the tap is some of the most pristine stuff in the world, but you still see tourists loading several 2 liter bottles of the stuff into their shopping carts because they don't know any better..

It makes me sad to see the waste created in the environment due to ignorance. It's common practice to use re-usable drinking containers.. and you can do this while traveling as well. It's like bringing your own shopping bag, people didn't used to do this often, but now it's become more of a trend and it's good for the environment. Now we just need to get people to realize that it's perfectly fine to re-use the same drinking container.

It's not a hard concept, it's just laziness and apathy that drive these profits.
And it wasn't usable until practically 2015 (2014-12-18 if you so want).

>Total cost to hire for a job should match the productivity of that job.

Total cost is determined by supply and demand. Productivity simply puts a ceiling on wages.

Austerian measures in particular are one way whereby demand for labour can be pushed down (by cutting public sector jobs & compensation) and demand for jobs/desperation can be pushed up (by cutting benefits people rely upon). None of this has anything to do with productivity.

>There isn't any free lunch

In healthcare the free lunch are the profits being skimmed by the HMOs, reflected by their greater share of those increasing health care costs driven by their relative market power.

You might as well say climate change is a myth. We're out of agricultural space. Everything that means decreasing yields is a bad idea. The population growths, however land does not - it might even shrink due to climate change. While the high food waste is usually named as THE problem, it is only part of it and a wasteless utopia is far, far away - and stopping waste in place A doesn't really help people in place B.

I remember this question arising on HN about a year ago. GR is a necessary consideration in the design of the satellite system.

See page 5 of DTIC document: Relativistic Effects in the Global Positioning System

http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a158720.pdf

Without correction the drift due to combined coarse relativistic effects would be on the order of 100,000 nanoseconds per DAY.

In fact the first NTS-2 satellite was launched with the clock unadjusted for GR, due to doubters, but after three weeks the syntheziser had to be activated to compensate. The calculated uncorrected drift on that clock alone was 38,000 nanoseconds per day.

As the document notes, to further refine Navstar to greater levels of precision would require tackling yet another set of tougher relativistic effects, plus more mundane atmospheric influences.
