To play a bit of devil's advocate here:

At what point does a socialised health service with limited resources, stop providing care for "self-inflicted" injuries?

In a busy hospital, the doctors have to triage and make priority decisions over where to apply resources and who to treat first.

Much like an alcoholic would never be at the top of a liver transplant list, at what point would an anorexic - who in this case had already been through over 30 mental health sessions - start to be denied care? At what point is it more ethical to spend those resources treating someone else, who might actually respond to treatment?

Again, just playing devil's advocate here. My personal opinion is that the NHS is critically underfunded at the moment and that should be fixed first. But I thought it worth pointing out the ethical debate over treating self-inflicted injuries in a socialised healthcare system is quite tricky. Especially considering that almost all mental health issues can fall under "self-inflicted" if you want to be callous.
I'd be more inclined to agree with you if the language of people who eschew children weren't so often focused on their selves ("independence", "freedom", etc.) or simultaneously accusational ("how could you bring a child into this world!"). "Selfish" isn't a moral judgement in this case: it's an accurate description.

Ask HN: LinkedIn blocking public profiles?
Confirmed by users around the world, it seems like LinkedIn started to hide every profile behind an "authwall" - even the ones explicitly set to public. Fiddling with the settings don't work and don't make profiles public any more, in any form, not even name and image.

>This is weird valley-think. Those people were lucky more than anything, being in the right place, at the right time, with the right skills.

_Yes._ A person with a billion dollars does not work a billion times harder than a person with 1 dollar. A programmer should be keenly aware of this, I think, given what a monumentally complex task it is to evaluate the value of labor in our industry. I also do not begrudge an individual their success carte blanche even if I am highly critical of capitalism (best to judge them for the specifics of their actions) but we should be clear about whether or not someone has shown evidence of being better than a coin flip before we start saying they're qualified for something.

Yeah, I would make that assumption if they confiscated the device and said "we'll send it back to you whenever."

But why do I feel that "derpy DHS agent browses computer for a few minutes" is far, far more likely in a scenario where the device is taken to a back room?

Is it really impossible to know anything about what is done with devices in the back room?
I'm not convinced. Is there evidence that the parent/child bonding only occurs if you share DNA? My personal experience suggests otherwise, especially given that my mother was adopted.
Scaling is what limits capacity increase. A block size increase, taken in isolation, does not change scaling. It only means capacity is increased.

And while it would be welcome to increase capacity, there are many ways to do that. Coinbase fixing their broken wallet would single handedly give more spare capacity than any other measure right now. If their customers would instead choose a service where you pay low or no fees we wouldn't have the fee spikes we have right now. To argue that a globally coordinated rule change is somehow the easy way out requires some very good explanation.

That said, it might be prudent to mention in this context that we activated a blocksize increase only a few months ago. The opt-in, non-coordinated kind, which you are free to use at any time. (Unless you are with Coinbase, of course. In which case, see above.)
Right, but they don't need to investigate most people. They need to investigate people who are motivated enough to... well, I'm not sure what. Cross borders while possessing illegal data?

I even agree with you that economics is pretty soft as science goes, more math but also a lot of p-hacking, but... they are argued, provide data, and are evaluated just like the other Social Sciences. See Picketty as a pop-econ example with plenty of research backing.

The idea that in order for something to be a science a prominent theory developed in the last 30 years has to be debunked by data is silly. Most of the questionable basis for economics is much more than 30 years old (1988?). I might as well ask you the same question in Physics... is Physics no longer a science?

The person writing the spec should actually be able to think it through a few times before needing a developer in the room. If the spec writer can't think through a spec by themselves for at least 95% of it, they aren't qualified to be submitting tickets, IMO.

The most efficient way to communicate specs is through a document, so I have something to reference. I'm not going to remember everything said in a meeting unless I immediately start working on it. The spec document should be exhaustive, clear and easy to follow with no dangling questions unanswered.

If you can get a spec writer that can do that, you're golden.
> a virtuous agent would eat the fruit.

For your subjective idea of virtue.
If the difference is of degree, could the degree be discrete rather than continuous? What I mean is that is that of the shared faculties between higher animals and humans, such as language, it does not appear as if increasing animal capacity by some factor would yield near human capacity. Instead, it seems that animals and human operate in different, discrete, levels of using a faculty.

Using language again, and I'm going to have to dig through my magazines to find the book reference, but recent research by Noam Chomsky into animal language reveals that it is fundamentally different than human language. Human language is non-linear and recursive, that is, words can have antecedents and self-referential clausal structures, whereas animal language is all linear; the current sound is always in direct relation to the previous sound. Moving from even highly developed animal language to human language, then, is not simply a continuous increase but a discrete one.

Not disagreeing with you here, just trying to nuance the point that to suggest that rather than seeing humans as fundamentally similar to animals and on a higher continuum, that we are fundamentally similar to animals and yet at a discretely higher level not achievable by increasing any given factor of those animals' faculties.
This is what drives me mad.

Professional therapy that actually works and can help patients solve the underlying self-esteem issues from childhood isn't easily available to people suffering from anorexia.

More generally, I would argue that if we increased tax and gave everyone as much therapy as they need, the money would be saved by reducing sick days for businesses, reducing other healthcare costs, and increasing productivity of mental well people.

I think we should do it even if it wouldn't save that money, but intuitively it feels like it would, so it makes not doing it even crazier...

Does any country already do this? It would seem a humane and powerful way to beat other countries / lead the world (pick whatever motivates you).

In Japanese companies that I've worked at, the convention is using English words for programming concepts, using Japanese words transliterated into English for business concepts except where the English word is easy and obvious, and using a pedantic level of Japanese code comments to signpost for those developers who are less confident in their English ability.

e.g.

My wife and I have been married for a little over 14 years and, from the beginning, knew that neither of us wanted to have kids.

There's nothing at all selfish about being happy with your current life. The real question is why you'd feel selfish for not wanting to have children. It's simply a choice. It's neither selfish nor unselfish, it's just a decision based on a very real cost-benefit analysis.

As for old age, I'll point out a few things:

First, having children is no guarantee you'll be cared for in old age. My grandmother on my father's side was virtually abandoned by most of my family during her greatest years of decline. And she's unfortunately a datapoint in a much larger trend of neglected elderly. Heck, I read a story recently of elderly people in Japan dying in their homes and no one realizing it until the smell disturbed their neighbours...

Second, one can, and should, build an extended support network. The great irony is that having children makes that a lot harder--it's tough to build and maintain friendships when parenting is taking up most of your time--which means this will become more difficult as your own friends have kids. Be prepared to have to work harder to maintain those friendships and to build new ones. But don't neglect this. It'll be tempting to let your social network shrink to just you and your wife. Don't let that happen.

Third, you can plan for your own care. Being child-free means you're more likely to have funds to ensure you can retire healthy and get the necessary care needed as you become infirm.

In the end, though, it's unquestionably a tradeoff, and it's certainly the case that, by not having children, you're more likely to have less support during your declining years.

Personally, I choose to take that risk knowing my wife and I are doing what's right for us, today. We can't be living our lives, now, for an unknown future decades from now.
Based on your defensive response, I take it Californians eat/smoke produce grown with rat poison. Have you guys really thought about what you're doing? That doesn't seem very smart, at all. I've never seen rat poison in use on a farm around these parts. Always farm cats.

I'll be sure to check my labels more carefully at the grocery from now on. No more California produce for me.
I don't understand the "no sympathy" part. When a friend runs a marathon, yes, they expected to be totally out of breath and have jellified legs, but I still cheer them on and help them recover and celebrate. I don't think I'd be a very good friend if during the race I were saying (or even thinking) "I have no sympathy for you, what did you expect?" -- even if they're complaining.

To me, this seems related to the purpose of the article: being a parent requires a stiff upper lip according to our culture, unlike most everything else in life.
I agree: as long as side channel attacks are possible, there's always the possibility that someone else will find some other vulnerability that can be combined to create an exploit. The paper (https://meltdownattack.com/meltdown.pdf) does present it in that way: they show you the parts, then show how they fit together for a workable exploit.

This reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15800082 which in my opinion is relevant to the subject. Today's parents spend too much time with kids, too many helicopter parents and all that stuff, so it's the parents who overreact, overdo and exhaust themselves.

Comment from throwaway2016a:

> "We got no sleep last night, she woke up at 2 AM and wouldn't go back to bed."

> The fact is, having a child is the biggest life commitment you will ever make and if you and your significant other are not prepared, you're in for a bad time.

My grandpa had 10 siblings and from his stories I can tell that if he as a kid woke up at 2 AM and woke his parents (who worked their asses off from dawn till dusk to support the family) up for no good reason - he'd be the one to have a bad time and he learned that at a very young age. He did grow up to be a stand up guy who never complains about anything and the lack of all the rights, freedoms and attention that today's kids get didn't seem to get in the way of that.
What can I say here? "You may have nothing to hide now, but this stays in the government records, and if you're liberal-leaning, the way things are going, you may find yourself in trouble in ten years?" Who's going to believe that the US will be hostile to liberals in ten years?

Who'd believe a month before the election that Trump would be president? Be cavalier with your personal data, but in my country we say "guard your clothes so you at least have half of them".
Good one thanks. I was thinking achievement but progress is better.
MPEG-2 used to cost $2.50 per device. MPEG-4 is another 25 cents or so. Add another $2.00 for HVEC. MP3 was $0.75-$5.00 per unit. Each video you stream from Netflix or Hulu costs a few cents royalty. Royalties for such things used to be even higher before the threat of unpatented codecs dropped prices (eg, h.264 becoming free to compete with vp9).

Consider all the electronics you've owned over the past 20-25 years. You undoubtedly paid a dollar or two for less complex ones and much more for more complex devices.

So you feel that the majority of our national media with its treatment of DaMore, Twitter, and Google are extreme elements of the left? Or did you only mean to refer to DaMore and the banned people on various social media outlets are extreme elements?

Of course some of the things in Damore's memo are easily questioned. But that's not the problem. The problem is that his memo, which is well within the mainstream of accepted modern psychology/sociology was treated like the Nazi manifesto. If it can be easily questioned, then easily question it rather than censor it. And there's no need to put the national spotlight on this poor schlub to try to ruin his life, even if I totally support Google's right to fire him.

I really like Black Mirror.

Not to distract from your point, but I feel like the writers need to broaden their dystopian topics to other forms of tech. They also miss the "punch line" on many of their episodes, they line things up so perfectly and then don't commit.

It's almost a let down not to see things crumble completely.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shut_Up_and_Dance_(Black_Mirro...

The ending should have been streamed lived to the masses, like a virtual "dog fight". That would pull the entire world into the story and force the intelligent viewer to think about how even as a bystander we are all part of the problem.
You're correct that's how speculative execution works: it picks one branch, it does not pick both branches. But that's the Spectre vulnerability, while this article is trying to explain Meltdown, and Meltdown does not involve speculative execution. (See my other comment in this thread for a full explanation.)
> Why they have to complicate so much something that just works is beyond me.

Probably because it doesn't Just Work(tm) as well as you think. People in general are pretty bad at knowing their actual deliverable address - if you are someone as large as Amazon having even .1% of your packages returned due to user input address errors is likely quite a lot of money.

Having briefly done e-commerce stuff where we had to ship low value product en-masse I tend to think that .1% is a low estimate - but maybe people have gotten better at this since the early 00's.

Native, as in not running inside a browser, has been shown to be able to extract information reliably. My guess is the extreme amount of overhead that is required to run JS in an isolated-ish way.

Or, as I suggested, they store nothing but rather depend on environmental cues to choose where to store (and later where to look). Which seem far, far more likely than a prodigious memory.

And no, a real feat of memory can easily be measured and proven. The subject modifies a large list of items (e.g. seed in knothole), then later retrieves said item exactly once. That would be real evidence.

> At least in Japanese, the sound of the character is typed out using english letters

Technically speaking, Japanese have kana-based keyboard layout, where a single mora is a single keypress rather than two. However, there is still an extra (second) keystroke for dakuten/handakuten (か -> が), which is not required with romaji input (where it's just "ka" vs "ga"), so it's not a 100% speed increase. So, typing is somewhat more efficient than with romaji, but I think I've heard no one uses that, except for, possibly, professional typists.

Another author who advocates for the removal of the minimum wage is Thomas Sowell, primarily because he views it as enforcing racism (similar reasoning as the link you referenced).

But I'm not sure about this line of thinking. We already do have this in that we have a hidden economy of undocumented workers, and while the lack of a MW provides more work, it also creates different tiers of society, and there is quite a lot of lock-in that perpetuates the cycle.

I could see us abandoning the minimum wage, but only if we make sure to foster the capitalist flexibility with incentives and protections to ensure that flexibility doesn't lead to a race to the bottom.
