WHO recognizing things as diseases or not diseases is becoming largely politicized. They have already removed many obvious mental disorders from their lists due to political pressures and now they're starting to add some bizarre entries. I wouldn't be surprised if they add "investing in cryptocurrencies" or "thinking Russia is an ok place" next, considering current trendy topics.

Yes. Nobody doubts the future is electric (or partially fuel cell-based). But at least for the next half decade or so, we'll still see lots of internal combustion engines being produced. There will also still be some progress in making those engines cleaner and more efficient.

As a sidenote: that's why I liked platinum and rhodium as speculative investments in 2017 and I like them again for 2018. Platinum especially has been declared dead, exactly because of this "future is imminent" sentiment and nobody will supposedly need catalytic converters anymore. Platinum has been comatose for years on end now, despite production shortages and the supply side risk coming from South Africa's politics. Most platinum mines are operating at a loss.
Nazi occupation won't stick. That's unprecedented in modern world.

No. Russia has it worse than any other Eastern European country. Shorter life span, worse wealth inequality, higher incidents of murder and drug use, AIDS epidemy, weaker political system. We're done pretty well. That's the result of the whole communist XX century.

Actually, the US still partially restrict it (I as a German had to file dozens of forms with the US DoD due to that already), but you are correct, TLS up to 1.3 is entirely public worldwide.

But obviously, by 2000, many sites were already using the South Korean crypto, and deprecating it would be just as complicated as deprecating TLS 1.0 or SHA1 TLS Certificates in the US. The browser vendors consider that impossible — the South Korean situation is just as problematic.

That's a tad bit oversimplified, not just in terms of what actually happened in Greece, mostly private banks being bailed out [0] but also how that whole situation came about.

There's been a big elephant in the room nobody really wants to talk about for quite a while now: EU's most successful economies running up massive export surpluses, which really hurt the weaker southern economies [1].

In that regard, it's in very bad taste, to just go "Them southern European countries are all just lazy and don't know how to handle money" because nothing about that whole situation is as simple as that. Just like it wasn't a coincidence that Greece crashed on the tails of the 2008 recession. In our globalized world, nothing of this scale happens in a vacuum, but it's just that much more convenient to put all the blame on the people of Greece supposedly just being too "lazy and clueless", as opposed to the "diligent and frugal Germans". As a German, I can assure you: Most Germans are pretty fed up with "being frugal" and not having seen any real wage gains in decades, for the sole purpose of driving this supposedly "economic miracle" of the Germany economy.

Greece was a gigantic shame for the European idea, left out to die, used for IMF austerity experiments while being framed as "lazy people just don't know how to money", even tho it was their misery which boosted Germanys economic standing even further [2].

The capabilities of European online banking are irrelevant to the security needs of American online banking. Yes, you need 2FA, because your online banking is actually for making transactions.

In the US, it isn't. On the off chance that the capability is there, it's seldom used. You make transactions by telling the other party your account number.
Western Liberals have lower self esteem, a less optimistic outlook, and an overall lower level of satisfaction with life that shapes their world-views [1]. Research indicates that it's not so much that they believe there's not going to be a future, they just don't expect their own futures to get any better and transitively, they are unable to conceive a world that gets better over time.

I don’t think the solution is to disarm the police. The reality is that it is facing an armed and rather violent population. The problem is rather that they behave like a bunch of trigger happy cowboys. The solution is rather better training, a change of culture and real accountability in the case of unlawful shootings.

Even in countries where the police doesn’t carry guns, the equivalent of the Swat will always do.

But Swat teams must be aware that Swatting is a thing, and should have no expectation when they break into a house to find fully rational people. It’s not a crime to be drunk at home, or to have taken sleeping pills and to not respond quickly to a bunch of guys shouting orders at you in the middle of the night.

Well yes, the country where you live needs 2FA on online banking because it actually has transaction capabilities. The US essentially doesn't, so the lack of 2FA isn't a significant problem.

No, that's a myth. Dosage varies from person to person, but "more ADHD" (as in more severe AHDH-related problems) does not equal higher tolerance.
Honestly, I don't think it is any more correct to use pounds instead of kilograms as a substitute for force, as they are both units of mass. I didn't mind the use of kilogram in your specific context, for what is worth.

The behaviour is usually determined by language specification, and there are many machine instructions that can cause the correct behaviour. There are some cases where languages have machine-dependent behaviour, but most parts of most languages define the semantics independent of the machine it's running on.

> As far I understood, in the notion of explicitness that is defined in the article, it is defined that the language where source almost completely specifies the behaviour of program, irrespective of the compiler environments where it is compiled on, is an explicit language.

I've never seen anyone use this definition for "explicit". Most people use "explicit" to describe syntactical differences (e.g. "explicit vs implicit self/this"). "Implicits" in Scala is where the compiler inserts a method/function-call that didn't exist syntactically. The behaviour is still well-defined and not dependent on the machine instructions.

What you're describing sounds to me more about the language defining its own execution model that's abstracted above actual computers.
On a side note, I am still looking for a simple solution for paper to archivable, searchable PDFs.
The tools coming with my printer/scanner are horrible.

Something without the need to compile a million dependencies and setting up a DBMS.

Ideal process would be: scan to folder, tool runs cleanup and OCR, creates searchable PDF (perhaps with a nice file name) moves to archive folder, done.

Ideas would be more than welcome :)
Without a doubt. This should have been a far more serious consideration than gaming addiction.

> Before criticizing modern psychiatry keep in mind:

> 1. mental health patients are extreme in their dysfunction, never common.

I agree with what you're saying, but the US does have a problem of over-testing, over-diagnosis, and over-treating illness. Not just mental ill health, but everything.

In the US about 10% of children have ADHD

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3489818/

> Based on the Heath Resources and Services Administration's National Survey of Children's Health, the percentage of children aged 4–17 years diagnosed with ADHD increased from 7.8% in 2003 to 9.5% in 2007, representing a 21.8% increase in just 4 years (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2010).

An estimates 3million US children take stimulant medication:

> Experts estimate that approximately 60% of children with ADHD are treated with prescription stimulants (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2005a); therefore, approximately three million children in this country take stimulants for problems with focusing. At the same time, many studies have revealed the numerous adverse effects associated with prescription stimulants when they are used inappropriately.

These numbers are a bit worrying, especially if medication alone is being used, and it's not provided as a package of bio-psycho-social treatment.
Like a mobster who orders someone killed. A hitman does the killing but the mobster is equally responsible.

But what about the Muhammad cartoonists in Europe? Drawing a caricature of Muhammad is not a crime in Europe, however it will result in angry reactions in the Muslim world, and people (often Christians) getting killed there. The cartoonists know that but proceed nevertheless. Are they in some way responsible for those killings? I’d argue not but many disagreed then. But drawing the line of where responsibility stops being shared is non trivial.

I wasn't making an argument about ideology or ethics, merely pointing out that my post was focused on the immediately measurable objective characteristics of cars - price and performance. I do recognize that people often buy electric cars due to ethical or philosophical preferences, and that's fine. Personally, I'm not a conservative and am generally concerned about air pollution in cities, though I don't think new non-diesel ICE vehicles are a primary issue in that regard in most cities in the world (there are exceptions, as always).
When it comes to vintage clothing, there's also the feeling that what I have is relatively unique. It is highly unlikely that anyone has the exact same item. It is impossible to replace.

"There are no obviously visible homeless or mentally unstable people, though a film of the sidewalks might have been more revealing on this point."

Homelessness was most certainly part of that time. More so, because at the beginning of the 20th century there was still not much of a social safety net.

Also, at the end of the movie it says: "4 days later San Francisco was hit by the great earthquake and fire of 1906.

3,000 killed, 250,000 homeless, and most of the ciy destroyed"

My observation was the incredibly broad road as well as the lack of rules in traffic (suddenly changing lanes etc). A lack of traffic signs, and a lack of physical commercials. It was snowy (which might've meant everyone drove slower), and people were just walking in front of the traffic all the time, only moving out of the way at the last moment. Not only with cars, also with horses and trams. People (I mostly saw men and some children at the end, women not so much) were looking like gentlemen.

Children acting up before the camera was fun to see because its apparently from all times.

I also found the atmosphere rather serene, not like a city of nowadays. The lack of noise and lack of commercials help with that.

"The cars have license plates -- 4 digit ones, even. So the number of cars in the US, at least, was probably far less than 10,000."

Back then people didn't travel as much. The world was far less globalized, travel was expensive, and people stayed within the city or region they were born (ie. an example of less globalization).

So I'm not sure about this. I'm not even sure all the police departments were connected to each other. If a car is seen in San Francisco that license plate might also be in use elsewhere. Its something we'd need to look into instead of feel conclusive about. Thanks for sharing your observations though.

It's certainly a slippery slope. I suppose it's not a so big problem if "healing" is optional.

Political dissidence has been categorize as an illness in the past. In the Soviet Union, for instance. The same with sexual preferences.

In the science fiction novel "Distress", by Greg Egan, appears a character that it's a highly functioning autistic that don't want to be "healed".

I have the book here. This idea has been with me since I read it:

"What's the most patronising thing you can offer to do for people you disagree with, or don't understand? [..] Heal them. [..] Whoever claims the authority to define the boundary between health and disease claims...everything."
> Its not about how much work they are doing, its about the content they are subjected to look at and review.

If you'd like to experience this, you can make an experiment yourself. If you're a Twitter/Facebook user, look for a group/account you know will have unacceptable content (it's easy, search for white genocide or similar - there's always something available). Then try to find some things that are actually reportable without the need to explain the reason in more than a few words.

After you find 10, you'll likely find it's mentally exhausting to deal with it / look at that content anymore. On the up side, you'll likely report and remove some amounts.
You just need to build a baseline: hide a device and record activity over a long-ish period of time and then it's easier to sense patterns

> While I'd love to see crypto disrupt the current financial system

Late reply. I don't agree. I think a disruption of the financial system will create only trouble. Taking back control from the banks is something else, and stopping split second speculation by algorithms would result in more stability. If you mean that by disruption, I agree of course, but for me this is not a disruption, as it fits in the current system.
> I'm with Ken "Popehat" White: what the gamer did here is homicide. We can argue about the degree.

I disagree. I am not a US citizen but where I live there are two things to take into account before qualifying a crime: the consequences and the intent.

I am pretty sure US laws have something like that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention_(criminal_law)

>> Depraved-heart murder is the form of murder that establishes that the willful doing of a dangerous and reckless act with wanton indifference to the consequences and perils involved, is just as blameworthy, and just as worthy of punishment, when the harmful result ensues, as is the express intent to kill itself.

So prosecutors will have to find out about the intent.
I don't think you understand the argument being made.

Further down you say:

> the tone of the paragraph is that it's not really medication, but something like caffeine which you can give to everyone and it'll have the same effect. It doesn't work like that.

It does work like that. You can give it to everyone, and (assuming the recipient has a good response, no side effects, etc.) it'll have the same effect. That effect might be "worth" more to people who are already at the low end of the bell curve, but it's the same effect.

> It's not just about being an office drone spending 12 hours a day in Excel or some cynical bullshit like that, it's about every day life.

Spending many hours in a row at a desk working on tasks that require extreme focus is my every day life, and the life of most of the people on this site I'd wager.

Where are you going with this? You're replying to an article that said "it helps everyone", and you're trying to say that some people aren't as worthy of help? Is that really where you want to go with this?
> Conversely, cost is highly relevant for non performance cars, which, from the perspective of displacing transportation petroleum use, are far more important.

Absolutely. I was responding to a post about performance cars, so I stuck to that.

> Once the typical EV range reaches the limit that a person can comfortably drive without taking a long break (~300 miles?), range anxiety becomes a non-issue.

I don't entirely buy the argument that range anxiety just goes away after some magic number. Charging times still impose constraints and require planning ahead, especially for longer trips. Even people who spend 99% of their time in short city commutes don't necessarily like the idea that they might not be free to just jump in their car and set off when they please.

Ultimately, no matter how far battery and charging tech advances, range and charging times will always be an objective disadvantage of electric cars vs ICE. When electric cars can actually outcompete ICE vehicles in price and other factors it may turn out to be a tradeoff most people are okay with, but we're not there yet.
I believe they bias the packing process towards having extra pieces rather than missing pieces, since a few extra parts cost less than returns or sending out replacements.
