Like wilun said: The first section is weird. They are ruining the point they are trying to make when they say: "myth x" - and then they say it is basically true.

myth 1: and they come to the conclusion "pretty unlikely". So no you didn't mythbust - just you don't think it is true. Also, if it is made for solving real IT problems then why can't I disable it? (without using me_cleaner)

myth 2 conclusion: "yes, but it depends". So you are saying it is true.

myth 3 conclusion: "was possible, not anymore". You are saying it is true again.

myth 4 conclusion: "its complicated" - nobody said it was easy but its possible so that makes it true.

and so on ...
I was surprised by sections in "Lying" by Sam Harris where he wrote "Why don't we agree that you won't ask me that so I won't have to tell you the truth." A much more extreme position is Brad Blanton's "Practicing Radical Honesty" and other books by him. He admits in one of his books the huge personal cost he has seen people suffer when people tell everyone all the truth all the time, but he still thinks it is worth it.
If those men think groping is part of "approaching women", then I sure hope #metoo scares them off.

The thing is that Licklider's vision of computers as "interactive intellectual amplifiers for all humans, pervasively networked world-wide" has already come to pass, and created huge economies of scale and exponential pressures for compatibility and conformity that didn't exist before.

In the 1970's a few dozen brilliant people could create
a completely new and self-contained computer system because the entire computing world was tiny and fragmented. there wasn't the imperative to be compatible to all-pervasive standards (even IBM's dominance in business was being challenged by the minis).

These day if you want to create a new computer system that people will use you need at the minimum to provide a networking stack and a functional web browser, some emulation or compatibility system to support legacy software that people rely on, device drivers for a huge range of hardware, etc. All this not only takes a huge amount of work, it also punctures the design integrity of your system, making it into a huge mountain of compatibility hacks before you even start on your own new concepts. But the deadliest enemy of innovation is the mental inertia of masses of users with a long history of interacting with computers. They are no longer the blank slates who have never seen a computer you had in the 70's.

Even in the realm of art people realized that the romantic or modernistic model of artistic revolution that Kay invokes is untenable and retreated into postmodernism.
I am not an expert, I just did some research on my own. If you know more than I do please share.

1. There are normed rating scales. I assume OP was also tested on one when s/he filled out those additional forms. If I recall correctly they use the 5th percentile.

2. DSM-5 still requires symptom onset before the age of 12. As far as I know some researchers advocate raising the age limit further into adolescence, but don't want to get rid of it.

Improvement is in treating.

Don't false equivocate. If we were to open more mines than there were in 1900 we may well see more broken legs. However we're far better at treating a broken leg.

Though it is not at all clear that "mental health" is deteriorating. It may be that some forms of mental health issues are more prevalent today (eg. anxiety and depression). But that is no where near the whole picture.

An entire generation of people were traumatized by WW1 and WW2, and by the generation of parents who through that traumatization, traumatized their children.

Extreme disorders of the personality, PTSD, etc. simply were seen as normal then because they were so overwhelmingly common. PTSD didnt exist as a diagnosis till 70s, and yet it would characterize a generation of people under war.

If I were to speculate, I would say that we are overwhelmingly better in our general mental health.

That we recognise it as an issue suggest a profound advancement.

Why is discussing whether to heal a person or let them die is fundamentally different from discussing whether to let person settle or ask them to liberate the premises?

While that might sound logical at the first glance, the abstract stated that "The decline was not linked to longer working hours or increased pornography use."

I think Parc was a unique "a serendipity moment". These Cambrian Explosion type moments happen frequently in history: high creativity in which a new form is developed, followed by an increasing focus on small incremental improvements, and finally stagnation. The amount of potential a new form has determines how long this process takes.

I believe that for workstation/desktop computing we have already hit stagnation. I also suspect that programming languages have not advanced in any significant way since around 1990. By this perhaps surprising claim, I mean that the languages available today are no more capable than those available in the 1980s.

I've walked like that for all my life (I would stand on my toes a lot), so you saying it's not abnormal when walking around the house makes me feel better.

I've moved to a house with hard / laminate flooring recently though, and it took some time to adjust - even with my weird gait the floor was uncomfortable to stand on for extended periods of time without shoes.
Something consider: elevated diastolic blood pressure with a systololic blood pressure of <140 is apparently not correlated to more negative outcomes. Apparently home blood pressure monitors are prone to overreport the diastolic reading by about 7mm in those instances. Source: recently read a paper about this, which looked at multiple large scale studies. Don't have the link on mobile, sorry.

Bottom line: well done on the lifestyle changes, and don't worry if only the bottom number is high.
I've read a couple of studies [1] [2] [3], relating specifically to home BP monitoring for kidney patients. The studies seemed to indicate that home BP monitoring ("ambulatory BP monitoring", ABPM) is more accurate than office, or dialysis unit, monitoring.

I think one part of this may be because ABMP allows for more frequent measurements to be taken throughout the day and under similar circumstances each time.

There may also be a factor of allowing yourself to relax a bit before taking your BP. Guidelines for BP measurement instruct you to sit still for a few minutes, before taking your BP, which is something that is often not convenient to do in a doctor's office (for instance, if your BP is taken the moment you walk in etc).

As Marriage Standards Change, A Therapist Recommends 'Rethinking Infidelity'

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/13/570131890/as-marriage-standar...

While it may be impossible to empirically quantify if humans are enjoying less intimacy than a generation ago. I do see a danger that the erotic sphere is becoming abstracted away from its powerful roots by modern alienation. To get that mojo back, is to return to more ritualistic practices. Perhaps inspired by ancient rites of fertility common to all cultures. Akin to the way farm-to-table and slow food movements can cure one of the malaise that arises from prolonged daily exposure to Seamless dinners without any connection to Nature.

But then again, my cure for almost any modern ailment tends to be to look to the ancients!

That's not a problem I see, because this is not about Alan Kay's personal track record.

The kind of organizational freedom he describes was available in Park and Bell Labs, and it wasn't just Kay, but tens of people, one after another creating the most important technologies, while it was on.
Logging all your e-bike miles on strava is kind of lame.

I don’t know any research but I can speak for my own experience. I am not a runner and wear them almost exclusively for 4 months.

I’m relatively fit and work at a standing desk (mostly standing sometimes sitting). I have small miniscus tears in my knees. When I exercise regularly (bike or elliptical 2x per week) my knees don’t bother me. I also had some pain the balls of my feet.

For the past few months I have not had the chance to exercise regularly.

After switching to minimalist “barefoot” shoes, the pain the balls of my feet are gone and even without the regular excercise my knees feel pretty good. I’ve even felt good after working our booth at 3 long tradeshows this past fall.

I don’t think I’m one to fall for fads. I’m converted to this style shoe now.

I don't see it being cynical. I think it's the opposite of evil. It paints conservatives as entirely reasonable people making entirely reasonable suggestions but simply failing to appreciate difference.

A failure to appreciate difference is not evil, its part of how everyone acts in entirely well-intentioned ways.

Also, I dont think anywhere near half of any country has a conservative personality. Certainly the GOP are not today defined by their conservatism, whatever it is, it is radical.

I would say a fundamentally conservative personality is something most common in the vaguely upper-middle classes. It is present, to a degree, in the more traditional working class environments (eg. mom-and-pop store children, etc.).

It's all about seeing your success follow from your actions in a way that you control. It's about being able to plan, execute, and understand consistently -- for most of your life.

I think that's rarer than half, maybe 1/3? At a guess. And i think its not partisan: there are leftwing and rightwing conservatives.
I think the concept is cool, I've always been interested in alternative input methods. However, I agree that patenting it is bullshit.

I can never shake off the feeling that statistics is somewhat lacking compared to the rest of "fundamental" sciences. To me it just lacks sort of brutal honesty that is present say in physics. And how come that the math often "looks" scary? To me this also seems intentional, like someone is trying to hide the lack of real content. Honestly, do we really need a whole field to run a curve through a cloud of points? Please, dispute me in comments below, I would really like to be wrong about this.

>Are the billions poured in AI not counting?

Unless there are any great results, no, they are not.

Tons of research money where poured into AI in the 60s-70s too, and when it got nowhere great, it all folded in the so-called "AI winter".
New England winter. I have snow boots for heavy snow. But I find that I’m cold in the Xero shoes when walking on frozen ground (sidewalk, driveway, etc) even without snow.
I have that (toe walking), went to a physical therapist for it and everything. nowadays it just looks weird and my shoes wear in the front instead of the heel. The doctor (rightfully) said that the passive standing on toes (for whatever reason I did that) would pass on its own as I gained weight (it did), but the gait never really changed. It did mean things like squats are more difficult, ankle flexiblity was a bit shit. It's a bit better now though, but it takes active effort to stretch and whatnot.

QE money inflated asset prices and low interest rates mean bonds don't deliver good return so people buy stocks instead. And since we have the looming pension crisis the we will need a lot more money printing.

An interesting take is the baby boomers hit max earning power at 55 and buy a second house, but then around 65 or 70 they realize the don't need either big house and they downsize (which will create downward pressure on housing) and they want to annuitize their assets (sell non-dividend paying stocks, etc)
Donald Trump is basically a comment section running for president

There is this really big world of people who don't think like you, know that history repeats itself, recognized before you were born that software can enslave, and that are aware that serving man would be something that would allow for his own autonomy.

Serving man with software would then be about creating the independence of man from you while still allowing you to be you.
Yes heavy socks help but maybe there are other options?

None is questioning that idiots have to be punished. But the problem is Idiots can be a) mentally ill b) From countries outside of US reach e.g. Russia, Iran etc. So having tough laws will have 0 deterrence in those cases. Considering we are on HN the current system is basically similar to having a website with no authentication that has a kill button that will result in death of any US person when pressed. Would you consider that an acceptable system?

> you need little to nothing to convince you that deadly force is fine.

I'm disturbed by that line of thought. A normally educated human being from a developed country should feel bad about using deadly force, and worse after using it. The whole point of military training is to break the human instinct no to kill and even with the pressure of actual combat situation (where the upside is much higher, the downside much lower than for SWAT teams), killing breaks the soldier mentally.

What kind of people is the US is selecting (or what kind of training) for its police force that only some fear of criminal prosecution is keeping them from shooting people ?

After shooting dead an innocent, you would expect a police officer to be mentally wrecked. Even worse as he utterly failed at his primary mission of protecting the citizen which, as a Police officer, should normally be pretty high up in his list of personal priorities. So I can of understand going easy of the Police, from a legal point of view. But if the kind of people you have in the police are the one looking for the license to kill to assuage their most primal instinct, the problem is not with the legal side, you are hiring/training really wrong. That's not a police force, that's a criminal cartel.
A top tier employer in Europe may still offer private health care insurance.

When my father had cancer treatment, he sometimes asked for the public hospital (shared ward, less lonely when he was feeling OK but had to spend days in a bed) and other times the private hospital (doctors and nurses had more time, but the treatment was the same and he had a private room).
I think this is probably the right approach, but only by accident given how poor the UK government understanding of all things digital.

Westminster is, after all, being quite unreasonable in expecting foreign companies to serve as competent police forces for what is basically chit-chat rather than traditional publishing, and for a user-base roughly 30 times the UK’s entire population.
Misunderstanding of science and logic while thinking you are a genius may be the hallmark of this decade. Call the decade the Dunning-Krugers.

Hey some places do have subpar water, I live in one with arsenic and chromium flirting above EPA guidelines. But a $150 reverse osmosis system from Amazon and a $30 deionizing filter after that if I want to get crazy and almost a 0 ppm TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) reading on a $10 eBay TDS meter solves that problem. It provides almost limitless fresh perfect water to drink.

Sure hope its not that my queries are more trivial, or that my preferences for answers favors simpler,easier ones...
