>I also work with multiple ex-pats that fled fearing for their life due to persecution based on their religion (Falung Gong)
-----------------------------

Hi，I don`t think so.

I come from China, when "Falung Gong" come out I am at college, after so many years I still believe what the GOV define the movement right, it is "cults and religious extremists".

Why I believe that?

1. The "Falung Gong" is alt kind of "qi gong", I did have seen some people practice "qi gong" to keep healthy, basically, it is unscientific and ignorant.

2. "qi gong", "gong fu", "tai ji" has no leader, but "Falung Gong" has a leader. And the leader can't sacrifice himself but lead some other kind people sacrificed.

3.Now I am a more fan of the old lead "Jiang Ze Min".(Like many others in Chinese social networks, lol). I think He may make the right decision.

At last I don't think the GOV have the ability to stop and kill any movement is a good phenomenon， But there is still a line which clearly divides the cult movement from ordinary movement.

Scientific, liberal and democracy may be the most valuable thing to pursue by China people in the future. But the "Falung Gong" like cult which fool good people did not worth any remembering.

As the article says, sleep deprivation has been used to treat depression for years. It has been used in inpatient care because it often has immediate short term effects and provides relief before the medication kicks in. The attempt to use chronotherapy as a long term treatment seems to be a new development.

The problem with depression is that it easily becomes "trashbin diagnosis" trough diagnosis of exclusion. Depression symptoms are common with many physical and mental problems. After other options are excluded, what is left is depression diagnosis.

It's possible that there are people suffering from depression where the root cause is malfunctioning circadian system. This research direction might end up with real cure for them. For others suffering from clinical depression chronotherapy might ease the symptoms and help with other treatments.
To address this, a discussion about political ideology seeps in, which violates HN guidelines.

It has to do with the Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods agreement, Nixon taking the US off the Gold Standard, and countries in the Middle East that the US has attacked (either overtly or secretly). Basically the hypothesis is that the US has attacked every oil-exporting country soon after they threaten to transact oil in any currency other than the petrodollar (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, etc).

I haven't read into it enough to support or refute the claims, but it's a common refrain in US-libertarian media.

Do these updates really cause significant outages or just slower response times due to invalidated caches or whatever?

The dogfooding-preleases-on-Gitlab.com idea in general seems perfectly reasonable to me. They're the ones best equipped to deal with any resulting issues so catching them before the majority of on-premise users is going to hit them seems like a very good idea.

> According to the poll, 51 percent of freelance and contract workers do not receive benefits common to many full-time jobs — sick leave, unemployment insurance or retirement savings.

Back when I worked at Boeing, there were many contractors. They usually were paid double the hourly rate of the salarymen. But they got no benefits, and could be let go without notice.

Turns out that the Boeing benefits package was worth about 40% of the salary, and coupled with the unreliability of contract employment, it worked out about even steven to be paid double.

Sadly, the article does not delve into the pay differential aspect of salary vs contractor. Safety nets don't come for free.

I work with a former GLXP team (PTScientists from Germany). We left the prize in early 2017 and will launch in 2019.
We're actually grateful for the GLXP. It opened doors, it did spread the word and created a community, it forced us to push through to meet deadlines. We had to develop business models (the prize itself wouldn't cover the costs) and adopt a professional mindset while not losing the hacker approach. And while nobody won the prize, the primary goal (kickstarting an ambitious private space industry) was accomplished.

That said, we still offer payload capacity to the lunar surface and lunar orbit. Since there's not much time left, it should be rather small and nice (think CubeSat format). We provide transportation, energy, communication. Don't be shy, fellow hackers, ask me. Here or under jk at ptscientists.com

Research shows that you can show people intentionally screwed up results, brand them as “google results”, and they’ll prefer them to real google results with swapped branding.

The amount you have to screw up the results to get people to prefer the real results is greater than the difference in performance of the major engines.

Conclusion? Search quality is a cost center at google at this point in the game — they have no economic incentive to improve it further.

Ask HN: Polarized LCD screens?
I recently had my cracked, iPhone 6 screen replaced by a 3rd party repairer. Coincidentally, I also bought a pair of snazzy polarized sunglasses for an upcoming boating trip.

The first time that I turned the phone on, while wearing the glasses, on the boat, the screen stayed black! Much cursing and swearing ensued ("frickin' repair only lasted 3 days!!" etc.) Of course I soon realized that the screen was strongly polarized. It was fine when held horizontally, but completely black when vertical.

I checked various other LCD screens on the boat, eg. autopilot controllers, chart plotters, my friends' phones, and so on, and none of those were polarized. So my question is, is it common for LCD screens to differ in that property? Does it suggest that the 3rd party screen is lower-than-normal quality?

> And new generations are opting for YouTube to self-teach over books

I'm definitely in the older generation because it's completely mind-boggling to me how someone effectively learns to code from watching a video tutorial. You can't flip back to a page, bookmark a link, copy text, zoom-in to see exactly what was done, etc. It feels like you're inherently missing out on so much you gain from a book or a text-filled website. MOOCs generally have a great UI/UX intermingling video, text content, and usually a REPL of some sort... but YouTube videos?

Is this a huge flaw in my learning ability or is there some secret to effectively learning these sort of skills via video?

This isn't about the number of examples. It's plainly disingenious to say that "TD has been referred plenty, not under that name". Basically, in such way one demands the right to reduce supply side theories – or, in popular practice, to reduce every argument in favor of any taxation rate lower than proposed by the opponent – to a strawman of choice, as if the strawman was the original idea that's "covered up" or "dogwhistled" or whatever. Like this, in extreme:

A: We need to impose 100% tax on the top 10%, to achieve economic growth and lower inequality.

B: This isn't even wrong, this is asinine.

A: Oh, trickle-down much?

Why do this? Naturally, because genuinely debubunking the specific arguments against high tax rates is a lot harder than joking about the bourgeoise that promote TD because of their greed.
To the author's credit, it really is. I'm still giggling.
For completeness, it should also be pointed out that, in the future, the supply of usable (for growing food) dirt maybe be outstripped by demand, making it become more valuable than gold.
