I know it's anecdotal, but I've been receiving ketamine at a local clinic for a few years for chronic depression and a spinal injury. It has proven too be the most effective treatment I've had for treating depression. As another poster said, it is short lived (around two months) But the release from depression, and back pain is life changing for me.

To go with the article, it is incredibly fast acting. Like same day results, I don't know if it's placebo or the ketamine but I'm happy with it as it gave me life back.

Where can one find this so called app? Or is this something sent directly to specific people? Waymo is supposedly in Alanta, but I cant find any details on how to use it. I would totally give it a try and do a video.
Did you just earnestly advocate for a government mandated ride-sharing app ? And you main argument is that if it's government mandated, "user acquisition costs and marketing costs will be zero", so the users get lower fares ?

That's brilliantly lawfully evil. Why stop there ? That argument applies for all services. They would all benefit from having zero acquisition costs. Just nationalise everything. Could anything go wrong ?

> what if the model of both businesses just isn't actually viable without massive injections of funds?

I don't know if Uber's valuation or investors are correct. The question is whether or not the business (or one like it) can fundamentally exist without investors pouring money into it.

By your claim, it sounds like you'd agree with me because a competitor is likely to emerge with similar or cheaper rates. I agree. But that in no way supports parent's claim that the price (or business model) may be unsustainable.
When I volunteered at a suicide prevention center, I dealt with a ton of college grads who couldn't find jobs, and were depressed, suicidal and deep in debt. They said they felt alone, and their parents just thought they were lazy.

Maybe videogames are their only way to eke out some self-proclaimed happiness being a hero in some fake reality. But that happiness will quickly fade as they age, and they are forced to face reality in terms of resources needed for survival.

I think this also explains the rise of the extremist youth groups antifa and the alt-right. Both are dominated by young men looking for purpose and value.

edit: maybe also explains the rise of that jordan peterson guy.

The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/11/11/trum...

"I think that he [Putin] is very, very strong in the fact that he didn't do it," Trump said hours before his news conference, going on to trash Brennan, former National Intelligence director James Clapper and ex-FBI director James Comey, all of whom served during the Barack Obama administration.

Indirect disparaging whereby it's implied as a wink wink nudge nudge to his base but he gave himself wiggle room to say the media reporting was inaccurate and not what he meant after all:

https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/83591651194452377...

Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!

Could be that he just means collusion but phrased broadly enough that it implies all talk including Russian meddling.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/06/us/politics/trump-russia-...

Mr. Trump repeated his familiar refrain that “it could” have been Russia or other countries that interfered in the election, and then appeared to suggest that there was hardly an intelligence community consensus on the matter.

https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/06/politics/trump-russia-intelli...

"While Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations, including the Democrat National Committee, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election, including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines," Trump said in a statement after the meeting.

Casting doubt on intelligence agencies that concluded collectively that it was indeed the Russians & not anyone else & that Putin ordered it. Of course he can spin that however he wants since the statement itself is intentionally ambiguous.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/11/11/he...

Too many quotes from this direct transcript whereby Trump is directly & indirectly implying there was no Russia hacking & if there way it was without Putin's knowledge. You know, like how the Russian army collectively decided to take a vacation in Crimea.
Ok, humor me. What is the strongest plausible interpretation of:

"One that had a referrer as a thread on Hacker News kept insisting I couldn't be a real person, and wanting me to do basic math like 2+3 "before he would talk to me." It was gross."?

(I am not trolling. Disagreeing with your point of view is not the same thing as trolling.)
Because the competitors are like comparing Sonic to Comcast. One operates in one state between two cities and has a hundred thousand customers. The other is a national monopoly that abuses over a hundred million people.

Sonic can be competitive with Comcast where it operates, but it is still a tiny blip on Comcasts radar. Uber has way, way more market volume and penetration than any one competitor, and in many places are the only game in town.

I don't know that I've ever seen someone call ML "Lisp without parentheses". Regardless, even with some familial relationship and a few principles in common (like a commitment to functional programming) the two lineages are far more different than they are alike: Lisp has a powerful dynamic core and intricate metaprogramming capabilities, while Haskell builds on a powerful type system and non-strict evaluation. Saying that Haskell is "Lisp all over again" is sort of like saying that cars are "trains all over again": a statement so reductive, it's somewhere between wrong and nonsensical!
Google bought Waze quite some time ago. Did you know that? I see maps and waze slowly converging.
It's predatory because it is below cost and is just intended to preserve a monopoly on a market. The goal is to eliminate all competitors, then charge a price that a competitive market couldn't sustain. The harder it is for new competitors to enter your market the better it works.
I’ve never heard of people being indicted as part of a grieving process. Isn’t it also possible that a bunch of people broke the law? If yes, then we should make sure to investigate that.

They spent thousands just on ads. They also had a dedicated team running all their sock puppet accounts. That probably cost a lot too, it's just known how much.

This really, really works. I experimented for years with it after reading about trials. I'd be happy to answer questions.
I'm not sure what you're getting at, can you expand?

I work a lot with databases, so say you're trying to write an object and its children in some sort of one-to-many relationship to the DB.

You can write a Promise chain like

startTransaction()
.then(() => writeParent())
.then((children) =>
Promise.all(children.map((child) =>
writeChild(child)
))
)
.then(
// handle success
endTransaction(),
// handle error
cancelTransaction()
)

What exactly about that isn't "proper error handling"? Can you expand a bit on how this would be handled differently by you, or perhaps what paradigm you're programming in where Promise.all executes a bunch of items that can't all have the same success and error handler?

Call it whatever you'd like... it can still be a contributing factor. Also, I never claimed society was anti-male, only increasingly so.

A bit off topic, but generally (not specifically Russian election influence) I get the impression people in the US are anti Russia. They don't want to strengthen relationships with Russia. Why is this?

Edit: I didn't mean this to seem like a loaded question, I really am just curious.

> Call me crazy but I'm going to side with the intelligence community on this one

Because they have proven such integrity? I still remember the pictures being shown on TV from our intelligence community of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
On the other hand, after working for 8 hours a day, is it really reasonable to expect people to be enthusiastic about pursuing their own intrinsic questions about how things work and how they could make or improve something? Just because they don't have to spend a couple of hours on rote labor like doing their laundry by hand and cooking?

I want the answer to be yes, but it's like my favorite quote says, "as soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn't measure up."

A better question might be why we're okay with this state of people being largely anesthetized once they get home. But the same thing has been said about television and movies, and pulp fiction before them; maybe the problems are built-in and we just don't have it in us to meaningfully improve.
"...This could explain why young females are not influenced as drastically by the same leisure luxury..."

Or...

Maybe young women just don't like video games? Let's be honest here, most of the "hobby" type video games that require dedicated time to be allocated to them are not filled with content that women like to consume. I'd wager that the male/female split in a game like CoD is nowhere near 50/50. (Even though many in the video game industry claim it to be.)

Add to that the fact that many young women likely wouldn't want to fire up PUBG, CoD, or Fortnite and have obscenities hurled at them...

and it's pretty clear why women seem to be less interested in that content.

I think a more helpful strategy would be to attempt to discover why older MEN seem to spend less time in these pursuits than younger men? This might shed some light on characteristics specific to younger men that would explain why they love these sorts of activities so much.

That answer might be a whole lot more pedestrian than we'd hope for. ie - Younger men just have more time. (No kids). Or it could be truly novel, and provide some great insights into human psychology. (But more probably, it's somewhere in the middle.)

I'm not sure what juniors you talk about, but most juniors I've met can code "barely enough", get stuck often and code pretty bad so the pull request will stay there for quite a while before all corrections are applied
That is very much addressed in the content of this paper. from the introduction

> An obvious candidate for this decline in younger men’s hours is a decline in demand for
their labor, resulting in a corresponding reduction in their real wages. There is evidence that
declining demand for manufacturing and routine employment has contributed to a secular
decline in wages and employment rates for less educated workers.2 However, we show in
the next section that real wages of younger men have closely tracked those of their older
counterparts since 2000. This suggests that the greater decline in younger men’s hours is
not readily explained by a differential decline in labor demand for younger versus older men.
No one in the finance or investment industry I know sets much store by GAAP numbers which has lots of weird quirks [1] and isn't really helpful understanding the business.

From what I read off the reported numbers, they made about a billion on 11 billion on collections above the line. Excluding R&D and depreciation, they spent about 1.2 billion recurring or 1.5 billion all in. That doesn't sound like a bad place for the business that's close to tripling over a few quarters to be at all.

> there is no way that an endeavor like Open Street Maps has any real chance of making something with the breadth, features, and usability of Google Maps

But does it need to? Isn't there a market for basic mapping, without all the needless feature bloat?

I'd rather a mapping service concentrate on getting roads right, and not whether there is a Howard Johnson's nearby.
Intelligence services don't, but people working there certainly do. I.e. Strzok messages showed pretty clearly where his loyalties lie. Of course, everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but when one works in a position with vast coercive powers that can be deployed to tip the scales, having strong opinions towards one of the sides usually raises the question of conflict of interest.
Sure. So let's hold law enforcement agencies and hosts of public forums (facebook, twitter, etc.) accountable for that.
You need to go deeper and use AnalyzingSuggester from Lucene. It is as fast as it gets. Also, do not forget about the web part of the equation. Using HTTP/2 helps, as well as disabling buffering all the way through.
That's essentially the argument NC has presented for why Uber is not sustainable.
There's this huge class of video games that feature: skill-building, leveling-up, acquisition, and when networked, involve team dynamics, assessing other's skill, leadership, earned respect, and a social hierarchy that's based on a meritocracy. Have these type of games become incredibly good over the last ten years? Yes. Have jobs / "the world" gotten less good at providing these rewarding type of experiences? I'm not sure.
Can you explain it? For instance in IntelliJ I can refactor and have it automatically replace only instances of the word "call" that are actually invocations of the function call(). That's structured editing, not text-based.
Russia is a meme, the only legit threat to the US is China. The fact nobody talks about them shows how deeply they have infiltrated our media and government.

Also interesting that Steele wasn't indicted, the guy is a foreign actor who took money to create a dossier with intent to influence our election. Why not Soros as well? He's a foreigner who donated 10s of millions not only for ads but for astroturfing online communities via Shareblue and Correct the Record and stoking violence and destruction by busing in agitators to protests.
corporations actually have most of the attributes people fear from AI (lack of concern about human values, optimizing for the values they care about at any cost, paperclip maximizer style, a vast amount of paralell and subversive power), its just that they are slow and inefficent.

You were probably downvoted too because you keep assuming other people talking about structural editing have never used IDEs for Java, php, C++, C#, etc.

Nothing is blowing my mind, structural editing is different from what you're talking about, and enables different benefits and also downsides then those.

I think the wikipedia article I linked does a good job at explaining the distinction:

> editors in some integrated development environments parse the source code and generate a parse tree, allowing the same analysis as by a structure editor, but the actual editing of the source code is generally done as raw text.
I thought GM used all the Waze data in their routing ever since they acquired Waze?
Oh. I'm not faulting him. When he wrote his books, organizational models were dominated by strict hierarchies whether government or assembly line-type manufacturing companies. Even more collaborative academic research tended to be dominated by big corporate labs and elite research universities. The average person never interacted with mainframe computers directly and information flow was largely mass market broadcast.

Absent any existing examples, the effects brought about by the modern Internet, smartphones, collaborative open source software development, generally less rigid organizational hierarchies, etc. would have been very difficult to visualize. Indeed it would have seemed almost alien.

If 12-year-olds are being sexist to be edgy, that's a problem in itself. Also, if it was people deliberately trying to be edgy, I'd expect way generic, or possibly racist, to be directed at Eric Lu, which does not seem to be the case.
Is Waze's traffic really updated more frequently? Depending on the area, Google Maps can be down to roughly once per minute. (Open a view at a busy time of the day and figure how often the traffic data refreshes.) Perhaps it's a matter of reacting more rapidly to new data.

Yes, Waze is willing to take you on side streets, by design, just like Google Maps isn't, deliberately. Waze is Gentoo, Google Maps is Ubuntu. One is tuned for the quickest drive, the other for directions that are simpler and thus easier to follow or remember (e.g., it doesn't reroute you if it knows it will save you just 2-3 minutes).
Its to send a message and to make the case publicly. We're probably never going to get any of these guys either. We can ask Putin to hand them over and he'll say "no" and then we'll just be out in the open about where everyone stands.
The illegal part is related to the fact that foreign Russian nationals were funding it.
I honestly haven't been following this very closely, but a lot of this feels like the kind of thing you'd see straight out of House of Cards, both what the contents themselves talk about and the decisions to release them. I wasn't able to find exactly what you're talking about, 100 page memo and all, but here's what I could find:

1) a 4-page memo[1] with a note from the white house on why they're releaseing this.

2) some text messages[2]

Some of it seems pretty damning, but I haven't personally done enough research to make a really informed opinion. I just wanted to put these links here to save anyone looking some trouble digging around for a starting point.

This is more a matter of degree. Google Maps does occasionally suggest surface streets when there's major traffic, and will also suggest alternate routes during a trip.

In my experience, though, traffic has to be very bad for it to do this. Maybe it does it less often?
For those informing purchase decisions on this, it seems I was wrong [1]. Apparently the APU dictates the HDMI version, not the motherboard. Many AM4 motherboards appear to support HDMI 2.0 with one of these new APIs.

It seems this should still be important, right? Before we take actions that lead to hostility between nations, possibly even wars, shouldn't we be absolutely sure?
It is appalling that some here consider this a pot-meet-kettle kind of thing. The US has influenced, to the point of running them as puppets, many governments. That's bad, and mostly needless and to the US's long term disadvantage. But there is a reason we have a law named after Sergei Magnitsky, and there is no mirror image of that in Putin's rump empire. There is no equivalence here, and no viable claim that "everybody does it."
