What more is there to study? Getting knocked in the head for years is bad for you. Do we really need scientists to tell us this? Who in their right mind thinks getting hit in the head on a regular basis will have no negative affects on their well-being? The solution is not some new treatment - it's to... uhm, stop getting your head knocked on a regular basis.
I think people just have short memories. This kind of "hard freezing" is nothing new. Apple is just much more in the spotlight than ever before.

I'm frankly surprised the situation in SF has not garnered more attention. At Ed Lee's funeral, it was endless adulation. You wouldn't know what the city had become. We've gone well beyond trash-chic...SF has become downright dangerous and teetering on something far worse.

I don't go to SF unless I have to now. I have no idea why rich people are still flocking to SF. It is only a matter of time before the homeless set up at Broadway and Broderick.

Last time I was there I saw a nice woman driving in a top-line Range Rover with her cute blonde kids in the back. They stopped at an intersection near the Bay Bridge. The underpass was jammed with tents and all manner of desperate people. Some young guy from the camp made eye contact with them and stared them down from a distance...they were oblivious. These people think the invisible wall will hold. I don't want to be in SF the day it breaks down, and I am convinced it will.

The city government isn't liberal enough to raise a local tax to build a solution, but also not conservative enough to take a hard line. They're just letting it fester and it will become worse and worse until someone decides to break through the invisible line separating the tent cities from the Pac Heights mansions.

Ok, I'm brainwashed, thanks.
People know batteries wear out, but the expected behaviour is the phone lasting less hours between charges, or even unexpected shutdowns, but definitely not degraded CPU performance.

That has never happened before, there was no precedent for that, and no way of knowing it was a battery issue. The only solution for most people was buying a new phone.

Historically, sure. But today? I can usually get from mountain view to san jose for the price of a drink; I think we have Softbank's continued investment to thank for that. Our transit is (probably temporarily) quite cheap, while our drinks are rather expensive.
I'm not very familiar with football either, but I can say that OP is heavily exaggerating and probably not familiar with sports history at all.

Heck, I'm not huge sports fan, I can come up with half a dozen more impressive feats in sport off the top of my head.

* Beamon's long jump record in 1968 Olympics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEt_Xgg8dzc

* Maradona's goal of the century: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wVho3I0NtU

* Zidane CL final, won Real Madrid its 9th CL title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFfomw-Z4uE

* O'Sullivan, fastest 147[1] in history (snooker = 4D chess in my opinion): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3C7I5lRZII

* Sotomayor's high jump world record in 1988 Olympics (his lowest time and still 0.01 m higher than anyone else since then!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n6NhV4CaiU

* Usain Bolt

[1] 147 is the maximum number of points you can get in a game of snooker. The only way to do this is to alternate pocketing a red ball then a black ball until all red balls are off the table; this nets you 120 points. Once this is done, you need to pocket the remaining colored balls, ending with the black ball, for an additional 27 points. All this must be done without conceding a single point to your opponent (i.e., no mistakes). Start watching from 1:10 for the action.
It's an inherently hard project that's costing way too much.

The East Side Access involves building another level of station underneath Grand Central Station, without disrupting service. The tracks are 150 feet below Park Avenue. They're working around skyscraper foundations, and adding supports for buildings above. Look at some of the pictures on line.
Which five? I count two, but no doubt I'm missing some.
The senior .net developer moniker thing is something I do because that's what is expected by a lot of companies recruiting. Its a marketing term essentially.
> "On Earth" was redundant because where else would the subway track be?

Without qualifiers, given the provenance of its source material, one could reasonably assume it to mean "in the US". Saying "on Earth" or "in the world" would clarify that it's being compared against all other subway building occurring, even (perhaps especially) against notoriously corrupt countries with artificially high construction costs.
Kind of. The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for opening different doors.
New York State law also mandates that cities must provide shelter beds for their homeless population, so there is enough shelter space for their homeless population, there is no such law in SF/CA.

When I read this I immediately thought this person has never heard of Nadia Comãneci.

Nadia Elena Comăneci (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈnadi.a koməˈnet͡ʃʲ] (About this sound listen); born November 12, 1961) is a Romanian gymnast. An Olympic gold medalist, Comăneci is the first athlete in the history of the sport to be awarded a perfect score of 10.0[1]

I don't get what system in our brain causes so much resistance to new obviously rewarding habits.

Sometimes it's so hard, to get started. It's indeed a huge step to begin a schedule. That said I also found that there's a step where I'm motivated just to see if I can reach a goal. Say 5km jogging. And when I reached it, I may try a new goal, but very often I suddenly lose most desire and pleasure. Before that, every mile felt like a victory nearby. Now it's meh. I guess it's necessary to account for such "plateau" and wave around a goal for a while, then have a stretch up period, then loop.
Active reading. First scan TOC and headlines. Then read superficially. Grasp the author’s leading propositions by dealing with his most important sentences. Ask questions while reading.

After reading a certain amount of text, close the book and summarize in your own words what you have read. Again ask questions how the key ideas relate to what you already know.

The ultimate exercise is syntopical reading where you compare several books on the same subject with each other.

Best intro: "How to read a book" by Adler.

P.S: I'm very interested in this subject, I'm trying to build an app to support active reading.

Edit: re-reading your question, you seem to want to read faster and consume as many books as possible. As you can guess, my advice is the opposite. Read slow but deep and fewer books (just pick the best out there)
"Best athlete" is a function of the event, where physical strength, speed, and agility alone do not guarantee success. Doesn't matter how much time you give to NFL players, they wouldn't outplay Giannis Antetokounmpo or LeBron James, or out-race Eliud Kipchoge, or out-dribble Messi, or out-swim Olympic swimmers, or out-climb Alex Honnold, etc. Those are all fair measures of athletic ability.

Your argument might be more reasonable if you were trying to compare top NFL athletes to somebody like Ashton Eaton (world decathlon record holder).

Right, I agree that it is a bit hypocritical to use a free site on a regular basis with ad-blocking enabled if you have full knowledge about its advertisement and tracking practices, and you know that their business model depends on it.

I think you are right that the problem comes down to valuing personal data and content. How many $ is your data worth to e.g. Google vs. how many $ would you need to get paid in order to give up your privacy? There is probably a discrepancy here, which is why people are getting mad.

HN has ads, but they're text only, non-tracking, and posted infrequently. They're also not trying to sell you anything, and not trying to manipulate you emotionally. You can identify them by the lack of upvote option. These kinds of ads are tolerable IMO.
I'm with you on the killing processes part. There are a lot of things I like about the X, but that one is annoying and (as far as I can tell) pointless. It seems like Apple intentionally made it harder in order to discourage people from habitually killing apps.
They are quickly phased out, even in Beijing. Most for flexibility I think. Beijing has several thousands of bus lines which pretty covers all major or semi major roads, some of them may use freeways also. Technically you can put overhead wires for all of them, however they may be also expensive and hard to maintain. SF's public transit system is like a toy compared to Beijing's. SF's is more like several double ended trees. BJ's is a real spider web.

Neat observation. I agree.
Political parties will always resist the disempowering of the party, and things like runoffs, preferential and range voting, etc. gives more choice to the voter and fragments parties. It fragments them because the voter isn't punished as often for taking a chance on what are otherwise considered fringe candidates.

The U.S. is one of the older representative democracies now with the oldest written constitution, which is also difficult to change. Making elections more modern, fair, and actually representative will take a lot of effort by citizens.

If SCOTUS finds in favor of existing extreme gerrymandering practices in the Gill v Whitford case, it will be necessary for citizens to actively crack the grip of the two incumbent political parties, or accept generation long single party rule disconnected from representation of the citizenry. Gill v Whitford is the easier path, but modern elections still need to be a goal: city, state and federal. It will take time.

All brain diseases are really difficult to diagnose - almost all of them remain pathological diagnoses - that is, even if we say ‘alzheimers’ we mean ‘likely Alzheimer’s until we can biopsy or autopsy to determine completely’.

Also, just diagnosing (at present, and aside from the aims of the article) doesn’t help as we can’t really treat. We know that, for example, being knocked out more than twice in your life doubles your risk of ‘brain disease’, and having a second concussion within a week or so of the first also is a massive risk multiplier. So we need to have appropriate management and identification strategies in place to ensure we don’t allow that to happen, restrict play after concussive injuries etc

The problem is that there isn’t just one “KeePass”. There’s a bazillion of them, depending on the OS you’re running, the language it’s written in, the multiple keepass database formats, how recent the code has been updated and whether they continue to track developments from other members of the KeePass universe, and so on.

I’ve tried every single KeePass implementation there is/was for iOS, and most of them I couldn’t get to work at all. Some would actually launch, but then wouldn’t function. I think I found one that kinda-semi-sorta functioned, but then it had limitations in the database formats it supported and I couldn’t find a suitable counterpart on macOS.

But then I think the entire KeePass universe has probably changed a few times since then, so I probably need to go back and exhaustively re-try all the available programs over again.

But as that matrix gets bigger and bigger, the permutations and combinations of all the possible variants with all the other possible variants becomes impossible to test.

OTOH, 1Password has a local database, multiple options for sync’ing the database, a first-class UI, good support from a great company, and it “Just Works” on all the platforms I care about.

Paradroid was tremendous fun on the C64 and also one game I fondly remember.

I recall being highly stressed by the game at one point. I had control of a low level droid and had no choice but to take on a very high level droid. I had to very carefully time when to trigger the few circuits I have to gain control and just managed it with seconds remaining on the clock. What a rush that was! :-)

Right, that is to diagnose CTE post-mortem. But does CTE also cause other phyiscal symptoms which are just indistinguishable from regular Alzheimer's? For instance, would a person with CTE also have visible plaques on an MRI, or is the disease really invisible in the living?

The fact that they found CTE in 110 out of 111 NFL players post-mortem should indicate that they had a pretty good idea about which players to pick for autopsy. Was those picks based on their history of psychological issues alone, or were there other indicators such as definite signs of Alzheimer's?

Just my case, but Apple replaced my 6s battery because of random shutdowns under the replacement program on Jan 17th.

Around the release of iOs 11 (not sure exactly when because it was gradual and I was also on the iOs 11 beta) my 6s became incredibly slow, almost unbearable, until last month I decided to upgrade to an X because of how slow it was. Was planning a year more but I just couldn't see myself using it 1 year more.

Now I see via CPU Dasher and Geekbench that my 6s with a battery less than a year old (95,7% original capacity, 406 cycles) is running at 1400-900Mhz, (almost always between 1200-1000Mhz) instead of 1800Mhz.

I think it's not about monetary cost, but about attention. If you had an opt-out payment model where users are automatically charged a capped amount that they can later refund, or even a paywall with a "Pay with Ads-B-Gone" button, users would accept much more readily.

Or maybe an emotional approach like the Guardian or Patreon would work better.

The point here, though, is that you can both like the content and want to support the creator yet choose to block ads.
> I can’t understand let alone (and probably because of my lack of understanding) stand NFL which I personally think culturally encapsulates an American approach to the world - this is the offence team, this is defence, let’s pad up and beat the shit out of the opposing side.

Out of curiosity have you ever watched the NFL? Like, given it a good chance for at least a few games? Because in pop culture that's how the NFL is portrayed and marketed, but it's not really like that and honestly I'd venture to say that's not why most people like watching it - because there's not really much literal "beating the shit" out of the opposing side anyway, and to give an example: if you listen to the live crowds, you rarely, if ever, hear them lose their shit when the occasional gruesome helmet-to-helmet play or injury occurs, as someone on the outside looking in might expect. On the flipside, any time contact is avoided by the home team to make a good play, the crowd collectively loses their shit, because really what football is about is using physical strength as well as skill - mental and physical - to outsmart and outmaneuver your opponent and "beat the shit out of them" that way.

I've been watching football for years and I still barely understand how, at its core, the game works. Nevermind how physically skilled they are, which is a given - there is so much that goes into the game mentally it's mindboggling. Don't even get me started on the quarterback position which is arguably the most mentally-intensive position in any of the major sports, not just because it requires intelligence but it requires intelligence, FAST, while a bunch of guys are clawing at your offensive line trying to run into you and bring you down for the sack.
