That depends on how far away you are. There is a radius within which you simply die, and a radius beyond which you will be fine regardless. Between those two radii, you can absolutely reduce your risk of death.

I'll venture a guess: We've been talking about rights for so long, as a nation, that we forgot to discuss responsibility.

The major media and political narratives are focusing on the rights of women, the rights of trans folks, the rights of minorities, and the rights of immigrants. They are all well and good, but we should equally talk about the responsibility of our well-represented young white males to bear up under some responsibility and push themselves to improve their country. Responsibility to provide and protect is a very masculine idea, and if we fed ourselves an equal diet of responsibility as we do rights & freedoms, the young men of today might be a lot more energetic and engaged.

I also venture that it has something to do with the sharp rise in atheism. Christianity espouses responsibility. Carry your cross and accept suffering without malice. Atheism says that the world is meaningless, we were created from entropy. One of those belief systems might work better for getting young guys out of the house!
I'm a front-end developer.

I'd like an OSS solution that will allow me to deploy an arbitrary server-side service - be it a Ruby, Python application or even a package like OpenVPN - to some cloud infrastructure, easily.

This solution should spin up a hardened OS distro (CIS-compliant, maybe?), provision it with my arbitrary services (using Ansible or Chef or something), and deploy it to AWS or some cloud infrastructure for me (using Terraform or something).

All these component pieces exist, but nothing ties all of them together for an easy deploy for a front-end developer like me.

(And, I know things like Heroku and CodeDeploy exist, but I dislike lock-in and they nearly universally come with their own restrictions, like lack of support for server-side Swift applications or custom services like OpenVPN or git-annex.)

How Seattle is winning the war on cars: make driving a car into the city a living hell, and actively peruse road expansions that make commute times worse to move people over to mass transit.

Mass transit use up, quality of life down. I've grown up slightly outside of Seattle and have been working at some startups, but I'm leaving at the end of this year.
Why. Like several of you have discussed in the thread: I was a young male at the time, filled with testosterone, 6'5" in good shape and recently having my compulsory military service... it's difficult to intimidate me physically. As you said, this was phone calls, but the location was well known and at least the stalker was both aware and nearby so the possibility of real confrontation was possible. I did not think the stalker or anyone else would bring a gun or anything, she was not talking that way. I think the possibility of a physical confrontation generally is more intimidating to a woman due to physical differences such as size and muscle mass, yet I know of female soldiers who would not be scared for anyone. (Generalisations aren't wrong just because there are exceptions, one just have to understand the difference between the two.)

Considering the examples in the thread's article, I am appalled but not really surprised. I think the "beautiful" woman also serves as an example of a woman who would get many favours from her beauty. Both beautiful women and men gets benefits in work from their looks and the lewd comments could be the other side of the coin.

Bordering on conspiracy theory?

He just said Mueller want to turn the US into a totalitarian state. That qualifies as an honest to God conspiracy theory in my book.
Ketamine is a generic drug and dirt cheap. I just checked and it's under $10 for a vial with enough to use in surgery, not even this setting.

The $400 must be the clinic charge. I'm not sure what administration looks like, but a regular doctor's visit is $100-$150 and if the patient needs to stay for a longer period of time until it's safe to release them, $400 doesn't seem that far off of what you'd expect.
N=81, including the cohort of cognitively normal subjects, and those with dementia.

Mounting evidence showed the self-reported levels of physical activity are positively associated with white matter (WM) integrity and cognitive performance in normal adults and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)...

However, the objective measure of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) was not used in these studies.

Why even bother? At what point does the methodology of a study begin to so closely resemble some guy on a rocking chair saying “ahh reckon,” that we don’t call it science?

So let's review:

You're dredging up and arguing about something I deleted within seconds - to even see it, let alone be able to quote it, you must either have access to edits or being reloading your comments page every second and copying the replies before they changed. (Something you didn't bother to do with this story.)

Did you notice that when your false and inflammatory title was corrected, I edited my post to remove the complaint about it? Perhaps after ten years here you still have something to learn.

> First you accused me of posting a "deliberately inflammatory and made up title".

Because you did. And I wasn't the only person to remark about it.

> Then you misquoted me.

No, I made a reply in kind - posting back at you what you threw at me - and then edited my post to turn it from less argumentative to simply a quote and forgot to remove three letters from it. Big deal.

When you complained about being "misquoted" (which you weren't, there was simply an extra word which did not change the meaning of what you said), the "misquoting" was so difficult to see I at first claimed you were lying, since it looked exactly what you had posted.

I then noticed there was, accidentally, a single three letter word difference, and deleted my comment, admitted my mistake and removed the three letters which did not change the meaning of what you said anyway.

Instead of accepting that you drag up a lot of DELETED material purely in order to continuing arguing about it.

Perhaps you can explain why you are doing that?

> There may have been other edits that I missed.

Missed? You're quoting multiple edits which changed within seconds.

There's no way you can have naturally got every edit that you quoted without reloading the page literally every second (which makes no sense) and copying the edits into a notepad, or simply having admin access to the edits, either directly or indirectly, which may also explain how your post got to the front page within 5 minutes with a mere 5 votes.

> Content published online is subject to change over time without an entirely clear record of what gets changed, and when it's changed.

Then you should probably do your best to make sure when posting inflammatory titles that they are accurate.

Release notes link is here https://golang.org/doc/go1.10, it's in the blog post linked as well but I think it's definitely worth reading through the notes.

I always enjoy reading the release notes for a Go version bump.
Maybe for large companies serving large-scale needs. But tiny companies w/ not-that-popular services might not have a version in that region (simply not worth the risk) and the citizens lose out. IIRC, there is not a way for a citizen to say "I understand what these companies do and choose to accept it"

Here is a short summary of their earlier series on the topic:

https://www.vox.com/new-money/2017/1/9/14194202/uber-lost-22...

> In an epic five-part series of blog posts, transportation industry analyst Hubert Horan lays out the case for skepticism about Uber’s hype. In his view, Uber just doesn’t have a cost advantage over its competitors the way Amazon did. Amazon saved money by getting rid of expensive retail stores and sales clerks. In contrast, an Uber ride still requires a car, a driver, and some fuel just like a conventional taxi ride. So there isn’t much room for Uber to undercut its competitors.

> “This industry has a simple cost structure,” Horan told me in January. “Labor is about 58 percent, fuel is 9 percent, and so forth.”

> Of course, this flies in the face of many customers’ experiences. It sure seems like Uber has figured out how to provide a cleaner, faster ride at a lower fare. But Horan argues that this is entirely a reflection of the subsidies provided by Uber’s investors. Uber rides aren’t actually cheaper to provide than conventional taxi rides, Horan believes, it just seems like it because Uber is taking a loss on every ride.

> An obvious objection here is that Uber’s investors are not idiots. They know perfectly well that “lose money on every ride and make it up on volume” isn’t a viable business model. And when they made their investments, they presumably had access to internal financial data that isn’t available to the rest of us. It seems very unlikely that Uber could convince investors to give it $11 billion to continue pursuing a business model whose numbers didn’t add up.

> Horan told me Uber is accepting big losses now in an effort to drive conventional taxi companies and rivals like Lyft out of business. “Their growth is predatory,” Horan argued. “They are trying to displace more efficient producers.”

The article I linked also offers an argument against this logic, but I'm not persuaded by it.

They all have high motivation to arrive to exactly the conclusion they have arrived (and even higher motivation to arrive to some conclusion - it's a huge egg on your face to say "Russia hacked us", but it's much bigger egg on your face to say "Somebody hacked us and we don't even know who and have no way to really find out"), and they have means to select their subcontractors (e.g. choose specific security company that will agree to say what you want to be said - it's not the proof that's what happened but certainly the possibility of choice is there) to confirm what they want to conclude. These are pretty solid grounds for some measure of disbelief.

I personally looked through all technical evidence that was in public and that I could find (of course I could miss some, I am not perfect and I have a day job), and 90% of it is conjecture and references to some private data that I could not see. Maybe that private data shows what they say, maybe not - there's no way to see. The only semi-public info that I could see is that bit.ly fishing thing that shows that the fishing operation (which is only one of the multiple hacks that happen) is most likely performed by the same organization that performed a number of other fishing operations, which could be useful to Russians, and thus most likely is performed by Russians (either the government or private contractor working by the government order). There were also some scripts and sources of Ukrainian and Russian origin, seemingly, but those are traded on darknet so anybody could get their hands on them.

That is the only data I've seen in public that pinpoints the whole deal to Russia - all other things are "trust us, it's Russia". Which may very well be true - but "trust us" is not exactly a proof. It doesn't mean it's not Russia - very well may be - but the conclusive proof is still not there.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I just reactivated my old Android phone yesterday for fun and as soon as I put the sim card in the phone started blowing up with notifications about old voicemails, ones I never saw on my iPhone I had just had it in. There were about a dozen voicemails from the past six months from jobs I had applied to and heard nothing back from, or had a preliminary phone interview with, asking me to call them back to schedule something. I mentioned it to my sister, who moved from Android to iPhone the same time I did, and she did the same thing and found a bunch of voicemails from a college she's recently applied to asking if she can send them some piece of paperwork. It's so frustrating that we didn't know that these voicemails existed.

I think the fundamental problem is that to make these technical products like mobile OS's and email apps you need to be so far into tech that you can't really imagine what it's like to be a casual user. This is why I don't consider software engineering to be on the same tier as other disciplines of engineering. Yes, civil engineers make bridges, but they use them in daily life exactly the same as regular people do - the same goes for electrical engineers and power in the home, and mechanical engineers and vacuums/air conditioners/bicycles. When you make software, you look at all software differently and you lose the perspective of a regular person.
This is not new, at least for biological networks. For example, see this paper by Lima-Mendez and van Helden: The powerful law of the power law and other myths in network biology: http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2009/MB/b90868...

The OP is right that ultimately in a free society, interference on the part of coordinated speech by external actors is not something that fundamentally can be avoided. It can be made illegal, and it can be prosecuted, but ultimately to try to change the paradigm in a way that prevents it would result in creating a closed society. This is a completely valid concern.

My point is we shouldn't worry about this, because once the potential political implications of this investigation have been resolved, people will stop pressing our institutions to make radical changes to the way we live and work in order to prevent such interference. The reason Facebook is doing an overhaul, the reason big tech companies are speaking to Congress about this, etc, are because people are freaking out about it, and I think it's fair to say "this is a dangerous path we are going down" as the OP does. But if you consider the root cause for the sudden wave of public interest about this and the demand from the public to take action, and realize it's ephemeral and not a systemic crisis that will not go away until the issue being pressed is resolved, it's easier to sleep at night.

There have been countless issues in American public discourse that suddenly become important due to a major emotional trauma felt by the populace, reactions to which, if played out indefinitely, could be damaging. This is not one of the instances, in my view, where urgency and fervor will remain for a long period.

For example, the most likely outcome I believe is that it will turn out that we will get lots of indictments and new information about nefarious acts on the part of Russians, but people who are hoping that there will be a wave of indictments against the current administration are going to be severely disappointed. Once that becomes clear, I expect the focus to shift somewhere else that could bear fruit towards ending the current administration via legal proceedings, or peter out. We have already seen this happen in bursts when it became reasonable to discuss that there were obstructions of justice -- suddenly Russian interference was no longer the focus of headlines.

Never even heard of the concept of the mass shooting drill before this hn post.

Seems bizarre frankly but I can see how it's a necessary consequence if one is determined to maintain a US style gun culture.
A fire drill once a year or so is all there is at German schools.
Does anyone else see huge similarities between what this paper is describing and the freeter/hikikomori/herbivore men trends going on in Japan since the late 1980s?

I don't have the time or inclination to look into it more deeply but it almost seems like the West is just living through a social reality that has been going on for decades in Japan. Maybe there are some interesting social and economic insights that can be gleaned from that change to predict the future in the west.

As a 25 YO male this is an issue near and dear to me. IMO it all comes back to slow TFP [1] (total factor productivity) growth.

New technology is not (on aggregate) making us more productive, or growing the economy to the point where we need young, college educated men and women to learn productive new skills to sustain and grow our communities and the collective state and country level economy.

I went into the embedded industry to learn more about the people and companies that make all the things we take for granted or never think about as kids - cars, planes, industrial PLCs, oil rigs, pacemakers, insulin pumps, ATMs. Modern chip production, and what people have built from tiny MCUs and DSPs all the way up to the crazy beefy CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs is as close to magic as I've found in the real world.

But the industry of "global infrastructure" - transportation of people and goods, war, healthcare, manufacturing, resource extraction, retail - as a whole is stagnant. Especially when compared to the golden century we are just coming out of, when our standard of living in developed nations jumped up exponentially due to distributed electricity, indoor plumbing, modern appliances, transistors, data transmission technology, internal combustion engines, and advances in chemical and medical technology (much of this accelerated by research into war technology). Economist Robert Gordon has studied this in detail here [2].

Video games are definitely a way to feel productive, achieve well-defined goals, and get a sense of accomplishment or progression that is often lacking in the workplace. But IMO in many cases they are a symptom of a larger issue, not a cause.

There are many forms of escapism, video games are just one that my generation is more accustomed to having grown up and made friends through social interactions over video games alongside traditional things like sports, clubs, parties, etc.

The growing need for escapism is IMO the larger issue.

[1] In economics TFP is a variable that attempts to capture the effect of technology and infrastructure on the production function. Since these effects are much too complex and indirect to calculate explicitly (how many more widgets can a factory produce because of the roads that allow their workers to drive into work from the suburbs?) it is imputed as a residual. http://www.karlwhelan.com/Macro2/Notes9.pdf
