This is my first time posting here just to say that I would literally do this as a dare while messed up on ketamine or a large quantity of vodka so I sound a little "off"

EDIT: Jokes aside, I simply do not talk about political affiliations with anyone, whatsoever. I have no problem having a little back and forth regarding an issue here or an issue there as well as discussing heavier subjects such as foreign policy. To be honest, I do find myself policing my language to not give away who I may or may not have voted for in the past every now and then.

I should probably note I live outside of the US and talking politics can really mess with everyday relationships. I made a decision to vote only on issues while trying to abstain from the whole "this is my sports team" mentality which sort of takes hold of people where I live.

Compressing tree data is not trivial. E.g. using per-node heap allocation could take many times the space of the actual data (memory used by the allocator, metainformation, alignment padding, etc.). Using a custom allocator can reduce the memory usage dramatically.
It is indeed. Not really relevant here though.
An example of polite behavior, starring Ronald Reagan: https://www.salon.com/2003/11/24/korda

[From the Salon article]:

Korda's eye for detail really shines a couple of hundred pages later, when he and several other editors have joined Ronald Reagan in Los Angeles, near the end of the president's second term, to work on Reagan's memoirs. A plate of bad, overchunked chocolate cookies has been served. Only one remains, and Reagan's good manners dictate that he offer it around before taking it himself:

[Here the Salon article quotes from Korda's own memoirs]:

One of his aides took the plate from his hand and passed it on. The aides, I noticed, knew better than to reach for the last cookie. [S&S editor] Chuck Adams passed the plate on to me, and I passed it on to [writer Robert] Lindsey, the last man in the circle. I caught a glimpse of the president's face. His eyes were hopeful and bright, his whole expression that of somebody who has done the right thing and seen it pay off. He was already reaching for the plate when Lindsey, who had been bent over a copy of the manuscript, oblivious of the small drama taking place at the table, absentmindedly grabbed the cookie and bit into it without even looking up.

Reagan's face crumpled, his expression that of a man who has just staked the farm on one card and lost.

What are the real-world applications of protein folding (preferably, some specific example)? I always hear that it's really important for drug design and biotechnology but have a hard time imagining something concrete.
dude, if it's implausible for you to imagine expressing your beliefs without being labelled a bigot, that's a red flag about your beliefs.
Maybe (or probably for some sub-set of those people?) ... one of the researchers who helped popularize NCGS did a small-scale study that indicates FODMAPs may be the culprit. Keep an eye on this research because you may need to limit other foods as well as those with gluten (gluten and FODMAPs both exist in many foods).

I used to live in Michigan, and much of my extended family still lives there. We're used to black widows, and don't kill them (even though one of my cousins got bitten by a brown recluse and came out pretty badly, you're really in no danger so long as you exercise a few ounces of prudence).
It actually could be a bug. And for many other companies I'd be happy to believe them. But just like for bitcoin exchanges 'we've been hacked' is no longer believable FB has a problem when they wish to attribute to accident what could also be attributed to malice. Remember the time when they started messing with the emotional state of their users in the name of an undisclosed scientific experiment? That's roughly when they lost the benefit of the doubt about 'accidents'.

Not implying that the West can't successfully withstand Russia's disinformation efforts, but it's worth saying that when you have fewer moral restrictions it becomes significantly easier to "outmaneuver" your high-ethics peers.
This really should be the top comment. Tim Ferris makes money by staying relevant. And Peter Thiel qualifies as a political figure.
None of this is outdated. You're trying hard to to rewrite history with downvotes.

The 1997 cap on medicare-funded residency slots has remained in place since that time, unchanged despite population growth and an aging population. The current crisis and physician shortage is in large part a result of that two-decades-old legislation which was engineered by the AMA and other major medical groups.

Based on your comment history, you trained as a doctor, which is great and absolutely commendable [1].

However, do you feel compelled to troll and post obviously slanted information due to your personal association with the AMA?

For the record, I think doctors should get paid well and more than they currently do. Clinics should be run by physicians. But allowing guilds like the AMA to artificially restrict the availability of critical healthcare has resulted in millions of avoidable deaths and serious suffering across the entire population.

"The predicted physician shortages will result in decreased access to care for millions of individuals. [...] [A]dding one PCP per 10,000 people would reduce predicted all-cause mortality [...] by 5.31 percent. Translated nationally, this would avert 127,617 deaths." [2]

Yes, the story is inaccurate: the study was about how power, not luck, changes perceptions. But the message is still right. It's easy to be a jerk if you are powerful. (And it's easy to be negative when you're just commenting on the Internet.)

If you actually care about the facts, read the original researcher's essay: https://hbr.org/2016/10/dont-let-power-corrupt-you And if you want to still believe your success is the exclusive result of your hard work, read about Raj Chetty's work on just how much luck matters. http://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2016/04/12/stanford-study-shed...

Edit: I got it wrong, the original study was four people as Lewis reports, not five as some commenters here believe. Lewis is also right about table manners, btw.

> Are there other good questions to ask when considering whether to invest in a Payment, Utility, Asset, or Hybrid ICO?

This paper doesn seem to cover that, only on how regulators should treat investments.

On investing in ICOs, the questions are the same as any other IPO. And, in most cases, just speculation.
I notice that you only include products from the GFCO. What's your opinion on products like Omission beer, which can't be approved by the GFCO since they are made with gluten and removed after? I use Omission as an example since they provide parts per million test results on their web site as work around for current regulations.
Never suggested that.

You did. Now you want to argue about the phrasing.

Why is it easier to believe that Facebook would want to ask for a user’s phone number twice: one for 2 factor verification purposes and one for notification purposes, rather than storing it just once?

Given it was obvious they would get crucified by folks for spamming a 2FA number, why do you believe Alex Stamos and Facebook (a public company with React, Jester, etc.) are now lying to the public rather than this being an actual bug?

I too was going to mention this. As a non-Rust programmer that's been following it very closely for a long time now, it's interesting to see the pain points of Rust pop up. It could just be my view and confirmation bias, but almost invariably when programmers express frustration with something harder to do in Rust, it's because they were making incorrect assumptions previously.

For example, I was previously exposed to the floating point comparison problem referenced by Animats through someone complaining about comparison and sorting (IIRC) steps required in Rust to work on floats. The "Woah, you're attempting an operation on a type that doesn't hold for the invariants this operation requires, please add ornamentation to make sure it's what you mean" compile time error is something I appreciate, because I would much rather fix it initially than accidentally run into it in production at runtime and have to shoehorn a fix in later. I've had enough of that for a lifetime.

- Phrases (space separated lists): a b (c d) e

- Comma-separated lists: a, b, (c, d), e

- Square-bracket lists: [a, b, c]

- Blocks (curly brackets and separated by newlines or semicolons):
{ a b; c d }

- Dotted lists, where sometimes the dots can be omitted:
foo.bar.baz

In combination, you can write something like:

for x in [1, 2, 3] {
foo.bar(x + 1, x * 2)
}

Which can be interpreted as 7 lists. The top-level list has five items, the last two of which are lists. The last list is a block containing one item, which is a three-item dotted list. The argument list after "bar" is a two-item comma list containing two phrases.

I've implemented this, but I'm not satisfied with it; the corner cases are tricky to understand.

I used Windows primarily for over 20 years. I experimented with dwm back in 2006 and really enjoyed the idea. Something clicked in my brain a while back and I tried Arch Linux. It took a lot, and I mean a lot of stubbornness on my part (and on Arch) for me to figure out how to get a minimalist desktop with just about everything working. Now that I do though, it is very easy and simple to understand. I really don't need any bloat and my OS is pretty much portable at this point, and I have great software to do pretty much everything I want.

My computer isn't terrible, but it is much older. I've got external monitors connected to it. Using i3 just feels natural at this point. I definitely feel more efficient. I have everything integrated that on Windows requires compatibility layers.

My passwords are stored using Pass, so I can even use latest encryption. I use browserpass for password integration. I've got integrations in rofi for Chrome tabs. I mean, the simplicity and speed make using a computer exciting and enjoyable for me.

If I were using a VR or AR device, I don't want to manage location of items. I like technology helping me and not getting in the way. This is what I think a properly optimized and configured desktop could be like, and I haven't ran into any issues. I can even watch YouTube and other streaming services natively and with graphics acceleration using mpv and youtube-dl.

With this framework, we won't need Android for mobile and Vulkan integration isn't too far away. I feel like with a little creative thinking, that tiling window managers can be whatever you want them to be.

Take this for example,

https://i.redd.it/lcz6566yfwsz.png

Or this,

https://imgur.com/a/VBQML#fIjDknv

Now take GTK/Gnome or Qt/KDE + X11, which are a strong learning curve for UI development, and bloated upon dependencies galore (some of this is just poor packaging) and evaluate how much of that codebase is actually producing quality applications to win the Desktop space for Linux.

You have 2 (some would argue 3 or more) commercial Linux distros that have been unable to do so, and now partner with Microsoft. I see developers flocking towards JavaScript because that is being pushed as the solution for UI development.

There is a reason that Linux desktop is failing, and I believe that tiling window managers help solve that.

No offense to Mozilla or Chrome teams, but damn your browsers are bloated and unnecessary. I can't wait for chopsui or whatever else the right scripting language is to come along and sweep it all up, because that is what will happen. Sorry Microsoft, but your 4GB OS will be blown away by something that will probably clock in at less than 1GB with Wayland/Vulkan.

Now wrap that into container isolation, and you've got yourself a policy framework.
“Have you been tested to know eating beef is physically harmful to you?” is a question nobody would dream of asking a vegetarian/vegan. Veggie/vegan people exclude meat for reasons ranging from allergies, other health issues, political stance, an understanding (or misunderstanding) of how the food chain works, or just as a matter of personal choice. Does anyone subject a person’s choice to not eat meat to any kind of qualification?

But talk about omitting gluten from one’s diet, and suddenly one’s personal health information is fair game for any stranger to inquire about.

Just an observation from this wheat- and gluten-loving individual.
No, I feel that the point is rather different, pointing towards a difference between xenophobia and racism.

In USA, the nation is mixed, heterogenous, and thus being anti-diversity unavoidably involves some discrimination of your fellow citizens, being an asshole to some groups of them; and justifying this discrimination tends to require some racist arguments.

In homogenous countries like Japan, the issue is different - you can easily consider other races/ethnicities as equally good/valid/etc while at the same time being anti-diversity, favoring near-zero permanent immigration; i.e. a simple status quo position "the other races are nice, let's visit, chat, trade, exchange experiences but let us stay here and let them stay there" is feasible, unlike USA.

In USA, acknowledging "there's us and there's them" race separation divides the country, in Japan the same thing can unite it. Treating members of another race as guests that are different/separate from your group is reasonable in homogeous nations and horrid in "melting pot" nations.
> Becauae there’s nothing to explain. The software is broken and needs to be fixed

The second statement kinda denies the first. If broken software causes a severe or expensive problem, people generally expect an explanation. That is what a post-mortem is generally for.

> I don't understand infatuation with NYC subway

Despite how bad it is, the NYC subway is still the best public transit system in the US, so Americans are infatuated with it, especially those who never user other subway systems.

So New Yorkers are like "BART sucks, my subway is way better, itś amazing", while the rest of the world is like "oh, you have shitty dirty metal boxes that break down all the time and you call it public transit, how cute..."
These terms are ambiguous and have fluid meaning. But in general, anything on the Republican party platform, or supported by a substantial portion of Republicans or self-identified conservatives, is something I would consider part of mainstream conservatism. Quick examples include:

* That affirmative action should be illegal or more heavily restricted.

* That unlawful residents should be removed from the country, even if previous administrations chose not to enforce immigration law.

* That welfare programs should be cut back.

* That taxes should be reduced, even if they're reduced in such a way that the wealthy receive a greater tax cut than the non-wealthy.

* That restrictions on firearms purchases and ownership should be kept permissive, and that restrictive local laws (e.g. California's) are unlawful.

* That the US should be more restrictive in allowing foreigners to work in the country (e.g. raising the minimum salary for H1B workers)

* That inequalities in education, employment, and achievement should not be presumed to be indications of bias.

These are just quick examples. Personally, I advise anyone to conceal their political leanings if they agree with any of these statements in my current workplace if they wish to preserve their career prospects, and I think that's a shame. All of these are things that half to 30% of the voting population believes in, and are on the core platform of one of the two major US parties. Any workplace that claims to tolerate conservative views should tolerate these statements.

"Conservative", "liberal", "centrist", etc. are by no means monolithic attributes. I think these labels are better described as broad generalizations of individual positions on issues. For example, I agree with 70-80% of "liberal" positions (maybe closer to 60% if you include San Francisco local issues, but there's arguments to be made that's more "far-left" vs. "left" than liberal vs. conservative). I still consider myself a liberal. That said, I still do censor myself on any non-anonymous forums for the remaining 20-30%.

Russia is not exactly a bastion of democracy today.
I'm not racist and, as you would expect me to say, have over the years made several close friends of widely-varying races. (As an aside, isn't it part of the problem that I even have to open my comment on this topic by expressing my non-racist bonafides?)

In over two decades of work in corporate as well as entrepreneurial environments, I've not seen a difference in efficacy within groups that would be attributed to being either racially diverse or non-diverse.

For example, if there were three groups working on a given technical project, one composed of all white men, one composed of all Asian women, and one composed of a mix of race and gender, would the diverse group produce a superior result? My experience is that they would not. Sufficiently and equally incentivized and qualified, all groups would likely produce similar results.

So, I'd consider myself as somebody who's "against racial diversity" mainly because I haven't experienced it improving the core competencies of my company -- which is what I care about. Nor have I found compelling research supporting higher performance by more diverse groups. Thus, efforts to improve diversity, for diversity's sake, in my experience, feels like an effort to make a change that's not related, and might even be a distraction, to making my company more effective.

> someone who is against racial diversity but isn't remotely racist

One way I see this working is a person who believes in individualistic meritocracy with libertarian leanings. In this post I'll try to lay out the point of view of hypothetical person (so not everything I say here represents my own personal beliefs or something I personally agree with).

First, the meritocracy part: Such a person would say that all workplace decisions should be made on a totally race-blind basis: "I don't care what race the people at my startup are, what matters is if they can code (if that's what their job title entails)." If it so happens that our society has relatively few people of X race who can code at the required skill level, then as an inevitable consequence on average startups will employ few people of race X, because there simply aren't enough skilled programmers of race X to go around.

Second, the libertarian part: Sure, it's indisputable that there are a ton of social and economic issues that people of race X encounter at home, in their communities, in school, that end up causing fewer young adults of race X to be coders. But it's certainly not this startup's job to try to fix the upbringing of employees that has resulted in their inadequacy to supply the needed labor. This startup's job is more along the lines of, if a person can't do the work the company needs them to do, they shouldn't be working here.

It's not even the government's job to fix this. When it tries, it only succeeds at wasting resources, turning the people it's trying to help into permanent dependents of the taxpayers, and poisoning the reputation of the actual high achievers of race X because everyone who sees them now assumes "Oh, he/she can't possibly actually be able to do his/her job, the only reason he/she's in that position is there's a quota of minorities to fill so the company doesn't get called out / boycotted / sued for insufficient diversity..."

Third, the individualistic part: Do we really want a society based on the group identities of different races? That seems like a recipe for perpetuating our race problems, not fixing them. If you enshrine "racial diversity" into any kind of official or quasi-official policy, then by definition the policy is treating under-represented races favorably and over-represented races unfavorably.
