That's indeed the domain of medicine. Which will tell you, "you need more nutrient $X in your diet" as a solution to the problem, instead of "eat healthier" (for values of 'healthier' determined by current fitness fashion).

That sounds just really arbitrarily personally hostile towards me.

I have gone through multiple blogs in which I have tried to lay out specific nutritional recommendations for people with CF. The few people who have tried it have gotten results.

I have done everything within my own power to try to elucidate specifics no different from the examples of Rickets and Scurvy being caused by nutritional deficiencies. But it does not get taken seriously and I can find no path forward for that, and not due to lack of trying. One woman said she would write a paper with me on the subject, then arbitrarily changed her mind. Her son died of CF. She was a smoker. I don't think she really wants to admit that her smoking helped kill him. She wants to find a pill that makes everything OK and absolves whatever guilt she carries.

The CF community is not interested in what I am doing. So there probably is no path forward here. I fully expect to die in obscurity having never accomplished anything at all with my life.

But this arbitrary validation of nutrition as medicine, unless I am doing it and then it is somehow hokum, is just one of the craziest things I have ever seen on HN.

Do all game devs experience similar types of abuse, or only the devs of games with environments in which the developer's company is attempting to monetize the player as they move through the game?

For example-- there is some beautiful sidescroller game I've seen where the animation looks like old-school Fleischer studio cartoons. Do devs of games like that get abuse from players, too?
Callisto: Tech to combat sexual assault
You can look at the relatively standard metric of EBITA (which Dropbox says is positive) right here https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/box/financials and note that it was -$100M in 2017. You can also see their revenue in 2017 were $400M, not $500M so you're kind of pulling numbers out of nowhere...
There are many practices like that, though. E.g. you go for a run and then rest. The run still benefits you, just as holding crypto let's it increase in value. But you eventually stop running to rest, and in the same way, cash out your hold.

> Do trans men still intend to become pregnant when it is the most female thing a person could do?

The things that the broad society considers most central to gender stereotypes are not necessarily most central to (or even compatible with) individual gender identity. That’s true for cisgender individuals, and its also (perhaps even moreso) true for transgender individuals.
The suit literally shocks the person wearing it? Looks unpleasant - do you anticipate any safety issues?

Yes, without a doubt. It's a huge problem.

Ha, I forgot about the opening screen!

Calling it "web 1.0" seems amusingly critical. That said, taking it back to the question at hand, there doesn't seem to be a technical reason you can't do the images in the time machine thing. Most of my emails in gnus show graphically in a correct way. (Some of the more heavily formatted ones mess up, but usually not terribly so.)

For a better idea of what it can look like, enable LaTeX previewing inline in a buffer. Again, I'm usually in an org-mode buffer. And I confess I probably can't fight off a "web 1.0" argument. I have not gone for more modern UIs for some time. :( I grant it is a preference, but helm and similar UIs are much preferrable to me over what I typically see in the newer apps.
Doesn't matter. US political system only has 2 parties.

If you don't like blacks, browns and gays but DO like privacy were do you go? Exactly. There is no alternative to the Republicans.

If the US had 15 parties in Congress the game would be a LOT more interesting. Half of America has no choice to support Trump because the alternative is literally Satan.

I don’t understand what forces devs to participate directly in this public discourse. Barring those so small they can’t hire someone to run interference, why precisely are you publicly interacting with your customers?

While I think the US has massive cost overruns compared to other developed nations, and this fact makes a huge selling point to the public on a need for political reform, I think we should compare smaller projects to explain why. Let's compare one cost and time to fix a street light, or a train carriage in London, Paris, Seattle and NYC. Or even building a public playground. This would probably explain in detail how the cost of labor, planning parts, etc is so much more in parts of the US than overseas. Until US cities can do projects that are small than unfortunately it can't expect the public to really want to fund these larger, much more expensive projects.

More accurately, the US electoral system supports only two competitive parties at a time; the US political system has several dozen political parties.
The “default norm for human life” through most of time was either living in the forest, or living as a peasant on a farm. Peasants living on farms have historically had half of their children die in infancy, and generally poor health and short life spans afterward, because they eat an unbalanced diet mostly consisting of staple starches, spend half their time breathing wood smoke near a hearth fire, do strenuous repetitive manual work their whole lives, etc. People living in the forest were generally healthier, except sometimes they starved, were violently killed, or the like.

Folks living on farms or in the forest generally don’t have autoimmune problems because they have constant exposure to animals, a wide variety of plants, etc. On average (especially the peasants) they have poorer health than folks living in cities, but the distribution of health problems is fairly different between the three groups.

Deadly plagues (viral and bacterial) have ripped through through and decimated agricultural societies relatively often, at least in the past couple millennia. Many crippling diseases have also been endemic in many places (especially tropical regions) as far back as we have records. Modern medicine and lifestyle (indoor plumbing, vaccines, antibiotics, refrigeration, mosquito control, medicines for killing parasites, ...) have done an amazing job preventing those in wealthy countries.

Does anyone wonder why we have antibiotic resistant bacteria? I thought that was pretty widely understood (at least by those who accept the science of evolution)...

If you tried to make the case that patent trolls are a big problem because they extort large fees from people, it would be appropriate to talk about cases where people settled and paid "BS fees". If you cite one case where the plaintiff won, and another where they lost in court, you aren't making that case very well because you haven't discussed any actual cases of the alleged harm.
I really feel bad for the workers who are without a job with no warning. Interesting that this seems to be going under the radar compared to their "plans to raise starting hourly wages to $11, expand employee benefits, and offer workers bonuses of up to $1,000."
The level of pure bullshit that is part of the hiring process these days is mind-boggling. An recent example:

I interviewed for company X, where I spent an entire day with more than a dozen engineers, answering the same types of questions over and over again: "Here's our platform, how would you fix it". At every turn, I would speak about X,Y,Z issues that would need to be solved and how this or that technology might be applicable in a broad case. Diligently, in every session, the interviewers were taking copious amounts of notes about what I was saying... NOT how I was doing on the interview, but rather, the content of what I was saying. "How do you spell Corfu?" (as an example).

At the end, they told me they really liked me, and would have an offer for me in the next day or two... Two days passed and they called with "We're sorry, but you're just not technical enough for us".

I basically gave them a free day of consulting.

I'm not sure HOW to fix the problem, but it is definitely getting worse.

> The big issue here is that when you speak to players (and I have, a lot), a large number of them would agree with this statement “There are times when it’s reasonable to send personal abuse to a developer,” although they differ on when those times are.

Seems disingenuous. Without qualifying what those times are, it's logical that almost anyone would agree with that sentiment on some level. Did the developer take a drug-fueled sex tourism jaunt with your Kickstarter donation? Yeah that person probably deserves a little abuse.

> And what will happen when the best established developers and most talented up-and-comers decide that it’s not?

I think that gaming is probably the last industry that will suffer from something like this. There's always going to be a glut of people that want to work on games/in gaming.

I don't think this editorial really says anything. Some people on the Internet are loud assholes. Game developers put themselves on the Internet. Ergo, some people on the Internet are going to be loud assholes to game developers.

"I want [something] and I want it now."

This is what I hear from reading most of those angry tweets/comments.

Sadly, sometimes they are simply shouting because the game is not what they were hyped about. Maybe we are over-hyping games to get pre-orders in? I remember a time when the first time I heard about a game was when it was actually on the store shelves (good ol' boxes). Now there are dev-blogs and the likes years before a game is actually going to release...
Or just include the timing in your models, and derive from those models a suite of tests that can be run on the hardware to verify that the timing is as it was taken to be in the proven system?

I am not sure what you are really arguing here. The 14th Amendment portion of Citizens United is not the part of the case that has relevancy to this discussion.

Ask HN: Why are the Twitter shadowban news articles being shadowbanned on HN?
There's just been an article about how Twitter shadowbans conservative politicians, and it's being covered by several news outlets. I tried submitting several different sources but each one is being flagged and disabled. Why is this happening?

For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16128725

There was also a post of the direct source on Project Veritas which was flagged.
I like this approach. It sounds like a play right out of "How to Win Friends and Influence People". But... This also needs a good chunk of maturity and trust in both the employee and manager. Doesn't mean don't try it, but also don't be surprised if it doesn't work.
If the VPL DataSuit failed to find success, I doubt that this "suit" will either.

Honestly, things seem to be moving in the opposite direction; wireless HMDs (or integrated processors), on-board outward-looking 6DOF tracking for the head/body positioning, plus similar tracking for the hands (no "datagloves" needed) - and ultimately the arms (ragdoll physics + IK)...

Ultimately, people want to wear less stuff to get into a VR world, not more. If the HMD could be ditched (or be made even less obtrusive than it currently is - which is, IMHO, light-years ahead of where things were back in the 1990s) - people might (big if) flock to it in droves.

Still...there's a lack of a "killer app" for VR. Gaming doesn't seem to be it, yet (a large part of this is the "total buy in" dollar amount needed - it's just too much except for the hard-core players, at best). Social apps don't seem to have gained much traction, either. VR porn seems to be a lost cause as well.

If VR can't make inroads with a "killer function" - it likely will just die on the vine for the second time, unfortunately.

You wrote: This is also mathematically true: given a coin with only the most minimal bias, cumulative results of coin tosses will eventually drift far away from 50%

This is what troubles me. I understand your point. But, if it takes a trillion years to 'drift away from 50/50' is it meaningful to describe the bias as something other than zero? That is, is there some Plank's Constant kinda-thing for probabilities? The reason this always comes to mind is the absurdly low probabilistic effect on fecundity of, say, a finch having a 4cm beak versus a 4.1cm beak. If the effect is some probability so low that it would take millions of generations to manifest itself, then, in light of the fact that finches were probably single-celled organisms a million generations back, the probability may as well be zero.
> In particular, we want to thank the Google Project Zero team for practicing responsible disclosure, creating the opportunity for the industry to address these new issues in a coordinated fashion.

I understand this a PR piece, and thus the use of the term "responsible disclosure". I believe the HN community disapproves of this terminology, and prefers usage of the term "coordinated disclosure".

The question that I had was whether Google's project zero team prefers one term over another? Or in general, if you're a security researcher and have involved in reporting vulnerabilities - can you take a stand and emphasize "coordinated disclosure" term in your own articles?

I'm not sure why you say it's a strawman? The whitepaper[1] says that an ask order on the storage market is just (space, price) -- no mention of the cost to retrieve the data. Similarly, the storage market protocol (Figure 11) doesn't mention losing stake for failing to provide the data on demand (it only mentions losing stake for failing to post proofs).

That makes sense in a perfect world where the abstractions are perfect, but they rarely are. We make assumptions about the abstractions that often turn out to be false. Obviously a certain level of abstraction is necessary, but in general modern software development goes way too far with it.
I am not seeing the connection to LANGSEC. The Spectre and Meltdown attacks turn the processor into a confused deputy, that is all. If anything, this is predicted by LANGSEC. The beef is not even with hardware verification, as some have suggested, because the specification never calls for such security guarantees. The specification is architectural because we want different processors to implement the same architecture, such that they are compatible. The only reason transient instruction sequences have security violating side effects is microarchitectural leaks.

Sounds like the game you are referring to is Cuphead in which case I am pretty sure the devs for that game are getting plenty of abuse from players.
Looks interesting. Some practical questions: :)

• Sizing wise, how're you thinking to handle different sized people. For example, I'm about 155cm (just over "5 foot" in imperial). That's fairly short compared to many North Americans.

• Power and signal transport. On the YouTube video there seems to be a back attachment with a WiFi logo. Does that mean the suit itself will be untethered (battery powered)?

• If it's untethered, do you have estimates for how long it'll generally go between charges (for the first generation)?

• Will the SDK and/or drivers be Open Source (of any license)?
I have the same question. Not for scraping but for APIs that are rate-limited by IP address. Like some Google APIs. I certainly wouldn't count on IP distribution from getting around limits for long.
