Ever since I became a father (2 months ago), I've been seeing the world as a dangerous and an ugly place. This is confounded with the fact that, a month ago, I came to find out that my brother was bullied in HS and was never the same.

My brother has been out of high school for about 9 years now, but It took me 6 whole years to consider the possibility that something was wrong. I was in undergrad and focused on my studies, and then moved to NYC, so my time wasn't really spent at home with my brother, which should never be an excuse when it comes to family. But I let it be. Until my child was born.

9 years ago, my brother dropped out of high school and started seeing a therapist with the help and support of my dad. Both of them hid this from me until a month ago. The details of his high school days weren't revealed, but my brother has spent 9 full years dreading human interaction. I scolded him a year ago for not wanting to come to my wedding, and a month ago, begged him to come celebrate Christmas with my in-laws so that he can meet his nephew. He didn't end up coming, and that's when my dad finally revealed the details of the past 9 years.

It doesn't have to come to death to point out our primal fears as fathers. I used to be ambitious for the sake of being ambitious, but the arrival of my son, confounded with the revelation of my brother, has lead to a change in perspective. Everything can change in an instant, and contrary to the popular opinions of HN, the largest changes in our lives are beyond our control. The utter powerlessness of not being able to rewind to 9 years ago to be there for my brother gets at me. As does my fear and uncertainty of the life my son will be subjected to.

I had to look up what you meant by pre-registered studies. In case anyone else wonders:

"Unlike traditional scientific publishing, in which manuscripts are peer reviewed only after studies have been completed, registered reports are reviewed before scientists collect data. If the scientific question and methods are deemed sound, the authors are then offered "in-principle acceptance" of their article, which virtually guarantees publication regardless of how the results turn out."

I'd say the best pocket tool/knife I've used is the Leatherman Sidekick.

I've got a handful of different Leatherman multi-tools (Charge, Wave, Wingman, etc.), but for my money, the Sidekick is best one for every day usage. It combines useful features, reasonable price, and a lightweight package that just can't be beat: https://www.leatherman.com/sidekick-9.html

The Sidekick retails for around $50, but it's well worth the money. So much so that I've bought a few over the years for friends and relatives.

If I were to recommend "just" a knife for everyday carry, it would be the Spyderco Tenacious G10. Both the Leatherman and Spyderco can be found on Amazon.
Sure. But this has been going on for awhile, what's the example of someone actually doing any of these things in a way that creates real efficiency?
Free content will continue to survive, some people simply enjoy creating and helping others and quite a lot of content is in the public domain. There are also many services which are supported by paying customers and also offer a free tier. If not, there's always open source.

All in all, I don't think much will be lost. We have such an abundance of content, from stories to music, graphics and movies, that we would need lifetimes to enjoy it.

The advertising industry is not the benefactor that you're trying to paint them as, just a bunch of people trying to make a buck by exploiting others in a legal way. And soon, some of those ways will not be legal any more.
That's... different. Here in the US I can walk into into any pharmacy or supermarket and buy a bottle of 500 or even 1000 200mg does for <$20.

You're welcome! We were trying to unravel that post about PCID as well.

It appears the first PCID code was merged in 4.14.12 so you will probably have that in the coming days / weeks. CoreOS is also 4.14.11.

For those on LTS releases, we may have to venture into uncharted waters. The first that came to mind was elrepo.org, as they apply some of the same build options that Redhat uses against the latest upstream. Their kernel packages are meant to provide support for newer laptop hardware...
They're cheaper. You need one focal plane shutter in your camera, vs a leaf shutter in each lens you own. The only place where leaf shutters dominate these days are in large format cameras where focal plane shutters would be much more expensive and unwieldy.
It wouldn't surprise me. I'm probably somewhere on the autistic spectrum, and I frequently surprised people with my ability to do some tasks as a child. (equally there were some that I was expected to be able to do that I wasn't very good at).

Speed limits are a function of road conditions, both static (e.g design) and dynamic (e.g. weather).

Posted speed limits are a function of the 90th percentile speed (usually based on typical conditions).

If you set low speed limits because "think of the children" you get other (safety) problems.
The Stories feature is _by far_ the most valuable to advertisers. It's reductionist to diminish that to "one feature they share". Particularly because Instagram straight up copied Stories from Snapchat.

> "read any physical memory" as "read memory in cache"

You can force values from any memory to affect the cache in a predictable manner which enables you to read all physical memory. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16108574 or read the paper yourself https://meltdownattack.com/meltdown.pdf
I think the idea is that if you're happy throughout life, you will be happy, or at least content, on your deathbed. The "deathbed life analysis" is the thought exercise some people use to evaluate the long-term utility of decisions that seem to have obvious short-term benefits.

> So no preemptive regulation before 2015.

That's clearly wrong, but how wrong is a matter of interpretation: it's either the 2010 or 2005; the Title I regs in 2010 were no less “preemptive” than Title II, and the 2005-2010 approach was, IIRC, struck down because it amounted to preemptive regulation adopting the net neutrality principles as binding rules without following the mandatory process of the Administrative Procedure Act.

If we were discussing the merits of React vs Angular, sure.

But in general, telling someone they've been a jerk all their life leads to certain existential crises that they will do just about anything to avoid.

People don't just get defensive, they get cruel. There's a whole group of tricks that are basically gaslighting the person. They take an aggressively "reasonable" stance and trying to convince the person they're crazy and it's all them.

Because this happens often enough that many of these 'overtures' are obvious, it makes interacting with moderates a waste of time. I've seen person after person get DDOSed by a handful of people throwing walls of text at them but really just tangenting the conversation off into oblivion.

So when someone who is actually in your group takes a moderate position, unless you know them personally, you can't know if they're really a moderate or just a troll. That's not to say you spend effort on people at the extremes, it just means you are hesitant about overly-moderate people the way you are about people asking you for help on a street corner. You've tried it before and it's a scam so often you don't even want to make eye contact.

I couldn't find a direct link to the scientific studies but the second link mentions one of the scientists and talks about their findings.

You can say what you like about Jonathan Haidt but he's a credited psychologist who's simply going to know more about this subject than you do (or what that troll in the 3rd link did). Your assessement of Heterodox Academy is also, itself, bullshit propaganda of the worst order. (1) I don't believe Haidt is actually right wing. (2) Social justice is a fringe thing on the left, not all (probably not even most) liberals actually subscribe to it (see Bill Maher). (3) They're not trying to "de-left" colledges, they're trying to ensure colledges remain a place of debate and sharpening of ideas instead of pandering to spoiled helicoptor children. (4) The statement "They don't care about diversity of views, they just want college kids to take up their antiquated mantle." is a bold face lie. Please edit your post to remove this, or I'll be forced to conclude you are a liar.
So I guess the interface (API) between the lens and camera has a way of saying: I'll take over the shutter function?

We should teach people about these things that have a great effect on their life trajectory, but maybe, just maybe, middle-schoolers are not ready to appreciate the complex interplay between overlapping Gauss curves, path dependence, self-fulfilling prophecies.

Of course people should know where they come from and what does that mean, just as it's usually important to tell kids if they are adopted or have some serious congenital problem. (Usually because it can mean life or death, as we all seen it in [medical] dramas where people search for organ donors and so on.) But the question of when and how to tell is a big one, and there are probably many good answers, but alas probably all of them are forged in hard compromises between hurting the kid now, or letting them finding it out by accident.
(form the article) If a population of five individuals produces ten potatoes and five tomatoes – this is all that they can demand and consume.

But if 1 individual is out of work and only 9 potatoes and 4 tomatoes are getting produced.

And the potato producer is saying well we would hire you if we needed to sell/produce 10 potatoes but were only selling 9 right now. And the tomato producer is say the same thing about tomatoes.

Shouldn't the government step in and buy 1 tomato and 1 potato so the guy can have a job.

You need blockchain only when you want to prevent double spending of _something_. A linked list where only one node can have a valid pointer to the previous node.

Yeah, I'm really baffled by people describing shovelling snow as such a strenuous task. Since HN is mostly men I can assume that these posters are more likely than not men. I'm an out of shape woman and I don't think it's really all that difficult or taxing on my body to shovel snow. I don't mind the physical work but the time consumption is so annoying.
At least out west I notice a lot of the gas stations on major interstates have plenty of extra room on the peripheries of their lot that could be turned into charging parking spaces. This is where I see the majority of drivers charging their vehicles on a long trip. Once you drive into the city these lots become a lot smaller and are designed for exactly what you described which makes charging more difficult.
Kodak shares up as it announces KODAKCoin cryptocurrency
I have both an original X100 and an X100F for this reason. Probably my favourite camera.

The X100F is interesting for having both a leaf shutter and an electronic shutter.

Also good for high speed flash are the old Nikon 6MP cameras. I have an old D70 somewhere that I've used for high speed sports portraits.

Apart from the small image size it's a great camera. You can sync from the hot shoe at any speed, although practically this is limited by the t.5 time of your flash gun. For a Nikon SB-800 and the sort of power I was using that was about SS 1/2000.

> You can force any memory into the cache so yes it's is read any physical memory.

Is there a direct method for that or do you mean that you can repeatedly try reading memory addresses until the address that you want to access is actually in the cache prior to your access?

In addition to Facebook being viewed as the least trustworthy as mentioned in other comments, let's just casually add in facial recognition cameras into our homes too!

There are plenty of reasons to be wary of home devices no matter the company, but holy fuck I wouldn't touch this one with a 10-foot pole.

As an alternative to this, I love Google's personal recognition solution of recognizing voice with a small model so that while it can distinguish between (I think up to 10?) people, it is in no way good enough to fingerprint your voice.

But those are examples of acts which we consider immoral and criminal today, but were acceptable and legal (or even moral and mandatory) in the past. People didn't think it was okay to commit crimes targeting child victims, they just didn't think of those things as crimes at all (which, at the time, they weren't).

That's a separate issue from what you were (or seemed to be) saying in the post I responded to, that in the past criminal gang members would be considered more sympathetic victims than children.

I don't believe there has ever been a society anywhere or at any time where violent crime between rival criminal gangs (of adult males) was considered morally worse than violent crime where adults harm children, in both cases assuming no third parties were harmed, and there were no differences in social rank, blood or marriage relations, blood feuds, religious reasons etc. which that society and its laws considered wholly or partially mitigating factors.
If you go to 16:10 on the video you’ll hear a call to relinquish control of the cameras. Due to the classified mission only authorised personnel are allowed to see the data from the second stage, so the commentator would not see any of the usual information. I assume to get the fairing deployment conformation they would have to ask someone which would take a little longer than just looking at the data.
I think it's fair to say that different people have different thresholds for "bricked" depending on their awareness, willingness, and ability with regard to various repair techniques that may be to hand. To my mother, a virus that causes her laptop to bluescreen upon boot is bricked. There's nothing she can do about that. To me, you gotta do something like wreck the firmware, and even that's not quite permanent, as I am not afraid of soldering tools.
I wonder what happened to "This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. After 90 days elapse or a patch has been made broadly available, the bug report will become

The very book that you are commenting on.
The post does kind of explain that.

In the centralized world with a thin protocol layer that captures little value and a fat application layer that captures a lot, we see far, far more development in the application layer. When you invert where the most value is captured, you invest where the most work is done.

That said, all sorts of open source projects have shown that there are plenty of people willing to sacrifice their ability to capture value if it means they can produce even more value that is instead captured by users.
Pure speculation, but it's cases like such as the one you mention that make me think there's a reason most humans can't memorize every route and stop and times for the 10 largest transit systems in the world. It appears on the outside that other important functions are surely sacrificed to some extent for that ability.

The key thing to note for Snapchat is the growth rate over time, especially since charts during the IPO indicated DAU growth has flatlined.

The charts in this article have truncated y-axes so growth is harder to eyeball. I wish the article included a more statistical approach to the new data.

Also, what happened on July 7th that caused the big dip in metrics?
You're on the right track trying to be safe, but in the Kubler-Ross sense it's a lot like the "bargaining" phase of grief or loss. "I can still have my car if I check the tires and drive sober etc." What this article shows is that you still have a nonzero chance of killing someone anyway. (Which you knew already.) Where I'm going further is to say, no, it's not an "accident" in my book - you chose to travel by the deadliest method. It's the elephant in the room that nobody sees. So, I expect lots of downvotes from the very people who most need to hear this perspective.

So yeah, there's one more variable you can adjust before taking that leap off the bridge, which is to choose a safer method of travel. I've been living without a car for 25 years, using a bike mostly, thereby substantially reducing the chance anything bad will happen to your children because of me. So "by my standard," you should simply do that. I know it can be done because I'm doing it.

But it's also the reason I have little patience for all the posturing about safety. Your children are safe inside the metal box you use to murder everyone else's. Not only by running into them, but incrementally by air pollution, and spiritually by the creation of awful places built around car ownership (which includes most of Silicon Valley), and maybe even economically by assisting in a process of extracting your money out of your own community and into the coffers of faraway one-percenters.

Jumping off a bridge would certainly work too though, and reduce the risk to the rest of us. However I don't recommend it, as suicide is usually the last resort for people going through problems a lot worse than reading a lovely novel as they ride a bus to work. In fact, suicide is an issue that deserves serious treatment, rather than to be used as a lot of forehead-wiping over-dramatics.
Really? As a former smoker I don't place cigarettes and software in even remotely the same category. Ok -- question. How will this be enforced?

You are naive if you think some feel good words on paper can make this work without some force backing these words.
> a God who reveals and redeems, who elects and cares for a chosen people

Yhwh is indeed the God of his own people, and fights alongside his people, against other peoples and their god(s).

Sometimes he gets upset with his people and punishes them, usually very harshly (mass drowning, mass fires, getting them lost in the desert for generations, etc.)

The role of prophets is mainly to try to talk God into being a little more lenient and maybe not kill everyone this time.

The idea of a benevolent God is fairly recent. (Conversely, the argument that God doesn't exist because there is so much evil in the world is fairly weak. The God of the Old Testament doesn't have a problem with evil, he just wants his team to win.)
I'm having trouble seeing your argument for all the straw people. I don't care what you believe, I watched her walk down my steps one step at a time, both feet stable on that step before taking the next one. Why? Because her whole life she's hearing "NO! BE CAREFUL! STEPS ARE DANGEROUS!" so of course she's terrified and has no confidence that she can do it.

>meanwhile other anti-helicoptering activists argue that breaking bones is a necessary part of healthy development

Who says that? The fact is, the broken bones came, in her case, from the fact that she has no experience or confidence in things kids her age are able to do but ends up playing with other children (often younger!) who can. My kids already had their falls and scrapes when they were younger and closer to the ground. Now they know how to swing on a swing, roller blade, etc., without getting terrified and falling over. They also know better how to fall to minimize damage because they have experience with it.

Look, over-protection is simply bad [1]. That's why it's called over-protection. If you're doing it, you're harming your children and you need to stop.
