It sounded to me like you would like to find a generalization. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

The tendency to generalize things is one of my pet peeves around health issues, physical or mental. Some things work for everybody but a lot of things may work for one person, but not the other.
I'm confused.

Maybe a dozen strains of HPV cause cancer.[1] Only two are covered by Gardisil (~70% of cancers), and seven are covered by Gardisil 9 (~90% of cancers).[2]

Therefore, with a vaccine that only vaccinates against ~90% of HPV cancers, how can we hope to eradicate cervical cancer?

No I'm saying the surprise comes from nowhere. Anyway, it's theoretical for me. I can't say I've ever seen any ghost, just been spooked by noises when I was otherwise perfectly happy.

Question remains though: Why do many fear ghosts? There's really nothing frightening about them that I can see, and I don't believe fear of the unknown is the cause.
FWIW I don't think he's asking how to find a problem that his already-built solution solves.

Great advice! I did front and back end web dev at Microsoft for a few years. One of many nice things about working there was I, personally, didn’t get typecast too much. Though, ironically, after my web stint, some game teams didn’t want me anymore :( But I eventually did find a role in HoloLens.
I'm asking the same myself. But we all know the answer. HN is a dictatorial space that uses censorship to unify its opinion in a liberal banner. If you have progressive ideas you are out of the club.
Invitation to the SETL Language
It's been a while, but I remember backprop starting at the end of the neural net, and working backwards. Each weight that contributed to a wrong answer had its weight value weakened or even reversed by some small factor. And each weight that contributed to a correct answer had its weight value strengthened by some small factor.

So it's probably as simple as

newWeight = oldWeight +/- (stepValue * someFactor)
I think it's likely. It's decidedly nontrivial, and the hardest part will be the (very slow) design phase where we actually make sure the interfaces are defined properly, but I think there are enough interested people to make sure it happens.

There are some meaningful changes between 3.0 and 3.11 (notably a compressed chunk cache for storing some intermediate data blocks and a significant change to the way the column index is deserialized) that do help tail latencies, and there's certainly quite a bit more low hanging fruit, but the biggest contributor to p99 latencies is the GC collections, and the read path still contributes the most JVM garbage, so this is still probably a meaningful improvement over 3.11.

As long as the braking power does not exceed the power for acceleration, no need to worry (and you can always start with low braking load). Reversing the motor while the car is in motion is the dangerous thing.

I think you answered the question yourself [1].

The wording is ambiguous and as far as I know there have been no court cases yet that have yet to define what constitutes a connection between the end user and whether transitive connections count. If it's ambiguous to a software developer then corporate lawyers are definitely going to say no.

EDIT: I realize that AGPL is valid for commercial use but since its terms are so onerous, especially once the lawyers get involved, it effectively makes the AGPL unusable in a larger corporation.
But inequality is a problem in and of itself. The fact that some people have obscene amounts of money means some other people have less wealth that they could have. Obviously I'm oversimplifying and perfect equality isn't achievable (or even desirable).

'Inequality' when it exacerbates poverty, when it's egregiously in favour of the few who control the most wealth, when it is overwhelmingly unfair (which I think for the most part it is not in western society) is a major problem where it exists as I've described.
Equality lately needs to be better-defined in conversations because it's being redefined perniciously by ideologues who wish to see it mean Equality of Outcome, rather than Equality of the Application of Law/Equality of Opportunity/"Formal" Equality.
I wonder if Capitalism's greatest benefit is the pursuit of individual goals, without undue control by the state when the Judiciary, Executive, and Legislative elements are in balance and support Capitalistic economics.
To wit: "The gap in life expectancy between the richest 1% and poorest 1% of individuals was 14.6 years (95% CI, 14.4 to 14.8 years) for men and 10.1 years (95% CI, 9.9 to 10.3 years) for women"

Yup, our economy systematically allows the very rich to accumulate the vast majority of value produced by the system. Once accumulated, far too much of it ends up poorly allocated into bubble assets because at the financial market level, there's no effective system conduit to put it into useful places that generate better system performance (like people's salaries, esp at the low end).

Direct taxation is fought, laissez-faire salary negotiation has failed for the lower end - people in the low-end labor market don't have enough leverage vs employers. I suspect we're going to need new financial constructs to help the wealthy have a place to invest their wealth constructively, or suffer larger and larger recessions.

I've always wondered if a tax incentive for a salary expense writeoff at some leveraged ratio would be useful. e.g. you get to write off 125% of the expenses of paying a salary instead of 100%. A better ratio for better paying jobs at some range around the middle class (if you target lower incomes then you just end up incentivizing low salary jobs). It's not ideal, but could maybe appeal to both sides of the aisle. Of course with the recent tax cuts, this would be added deficit - but maybe in the context of reraising taxes to get back to balanced budgets it might be interesting.
Holy crap, that thing can book it!
It'd be more like vigorously investigating a kidnapping case in a wealthy, high-profile neighborhood while ignoring kidnappings in other places.

I don't see inequality as a problem and don't want to have total equality. What I see as a problem is that inequality keeps rising and more and more of the benefits of the economy go to a small number of people. That's a very unhealthy trend in my view.

Possibly yes. I was assuming an RF-like behavior where there is indeed saturation of the A/D converter but the blinding doesn't last more than the interfering signal (or negligibly so). But these are for timescales in multiple of us not ns. For ns level time scales maybe it's a bit different, but if it's not too different the low air time usage would avoid problems here too. The blinding pulse would mean an angle between two circles in space (angle from the interfering direction, circles corresponding to distances associated to the blinding pulse start/stop with respect to the last interfered LIDAR own previous pulse transmission) would loose any echo and become blind. With the vehicles moving such a "lost patch" would not be fixed either, and interpolation based on past and surrounding data is possible.

I don't really see how enforcing the decoupling of ISPs from other sectors hurts competition in the ISP space

Does such a decoupling (in truth and in actual effect) necessarily follow from the former Net Neutrality regime under Obama, or from the elimination of that under Trump? I don't think such a decoupling in truth and in actual effect really follows from either.

Could you help with understanding this, maybe by providing some examples?

Don't you still need to scan the old generation during minor GC, in case a field in one of the older objects was modified to point to an object in the young generation? Or are there optimizations you can use to quickly and efficiently find references from the older generation to the younger?
Be more positive, go outside your limited comfort zone. Even if you think you have zero interest in it, try it anyhow. What's the worst that can happen?

What did you read/do to develop your calc and linear algebra skills? I feel like I know calc and linear algebra fairly well on paper, but I'm unsure how to translate that to the computer.
Plenty. Inequality of power, inequality of influence, inequality of opportunities, inequality of access to education, housing, healthcare. All of that is wrong, and can be corrected.
The problem with inequality is twofold.

1. Too much inequality reduces economic growth. See my other comment in this discussion for a sources.

2. Large amounts of money and power are interchangeable. Large inequality leads to political instability. Even if people have enough bread and circuses, they may not want to be just observers and see to what direction the wealthy move the society. Relative poverty is also a form of poverty.

Counldn't sticking a proxy in front of any AGPL software defeat its purpose then? If you don't consider transitive connections it seems pointless to me.
While it's not a silver bullet and has a long way to go, advances in alternate models of money distribution such as cryptocurrency do seem to be moving us towards a more decentralized monetary system
"IMO, we should put limits in inequality, not because of what we think it might do to the economy, but because it's the decent thing to do! "

Agreed! In the end it's a question of values.

That's not true! lots of people here have progressive ideas. Lots of people on the other sides, too, of course. The community is divided because society is divided.

It is true that the political battle style of comment tends to get flagged and downvoted, because it's bad for the intellectual curiosity that HN exists for. But it's still possible to have thoughtful conversation about such ideas; it just unfortunately tends to degenerate quickly into not-so-thoughtful.

That graph was a little surprising as well, but I'm assuming that it's taking the average of all-NJ wages instead of the NJ-NY metropolitan area. Furthermore, it's comparing to Manhattan and not NYC. So a bit of apples to oranges when comparing an entire state (including gems like Camden) to the richest borough of the richest city in the country.

> Someone having more zeroes in their bank account than me is irrelevant

There are two problems with this simplistic (but yes, mostly good) view.

One is that those extra zeroes may have come from exploiting you, and reducing your potential wealth. This is way too common, so that many people assume it by default. It is getting less common, in a slow process lasting for centuries, but is still way too common to ignore. Those extra zeroes also lead to more opportunities to exploit you, in a vicious cycle.

The other one is that some goods are limited, and you will be in direct competition with those people on many markets. Ever wondered why Silicon Valley is trying to solve entertainment for rich people instead of basic survival for the homeless living there?

That said, yes, I would agree that people being rich is mostly irrelevant for not-rich people. But there is some dependency on the details, and at some levels it completely stops being irrelevant.
I have no objection to inherited wealth to families, except that those family members all too often end up with skewed values which they are all too happy to impose on the rest of us via the excessive power granted by that same accumulated wealth.

I'll ask the question another way: why does the child of Sam Walton deserve to live a fabulously rich life orders of magnitude wealthier than someone who spends their life plumbing toilets, and much worse, why are they allowed to use their wealth to hurt other people?
All of the things listed aren't your personal data. It is data about you, but it is not your data.
It just connected with the losses and changes of getting older and less self sufficient, and how those have been magnified in me since I was struck down before 30 with serious health issues so I experienced them earlier than I should have. It's hard to believe how long its been looking back. I feel my life sort of froze in many ways and the wounds most definitely haven't healed with time.

"Gradually, then suddenly" just seems to fit this and so many aspects of life. I suspect many people can relate.
There are a slew of research papers on the benefits of exercise for the clinically depressed, anxious, etc [1]. Most of the research boils down to the fact that, with enough rigor in the exercise regime (typically linked to one's heart rate passing a specific threshold), endorphins are released in the brain, providing a similar positive feeling as would morphine.

Of course, exercise will not cure depression, or remove loneliness altogether. But, as I'm sure you know, battling depression is more about having a repertoire of daily habits that shift one's focus to the positive aspects of life. There is no silver bullet, and it truly is a daily effort to ensure positivity, and more importantly self-love, is reached.

That is not a correct interpretation.

Microsoft started as a programming languages company in 1975, first with Altair BASIC and then variants of Microsoft BASIC (Applesoft BASIC, Commodore BASIC, IBM Cassette BASIC, etc.).

Gates was a co-author of Altair BASIC.

That provided the funding to help it spread into other fields. It entered the OS field in 1980 with Xenix, which was the OS that Microsoft Word was originally developed for. The MS-DOS work for IBM didn't start until 1981, six years after the company was founded.
I see your point, but is spreading wealth out the goal?

Oftentimes, that obscene concentration of wealth is the result of something that has enhanced everyone's lives in a way we'd struggle to measure quantitatively.

An example would be the wealth concentration created from mobile phones, which enable much more effective communication and, possibly more importantly, the ability to call for help (police, ambulance, etc.) from anywhere at any time.

Yes, I certainly appreciate you downplaying the mental issues I've had to overcome. I've certainly had external intervention but I feel that you suggesting my recovery is simply "survivor bias" is diminishing my experience in favor of making yourself feel better.

Your problems-barring your physical issues-aren't unique; you need your community, you need hobbies, but you say "Been saying for ages I am gonna lay the story out here and hope for some miracle plan" as if someone else is going to tell you your story. How will your life be fixed unless you fix it?

And don't mistake my church suggestion for preaching religion. If your community has social events you could otherwise attend, go for it.
But that is my point precisely. Sure, let's engage the other side. Let's make our arguments heard. Let's understand the other side and try to persuade them. I'm all for it. But failing that, what choice to we have but to resort to violence if we must (as you admit in your last sentence)?

TLDR: Capitalism has been on the whole good at getting people out of poverty, but keep Capitalism honest via self-regulation as much as possible (such as via Environment, Social and Governance metrics) because it can be exploitive.
I just don't see how someone who is richer than me (even by a ridiculously huge margin) is more capable of exploiting me... I don't think I've ever been "exploited" in my life and if I was, I'd expect due court process if it was criminal or civil in nature, or I'd no longer do business with or work for that person.

HOW are rich people exploiting less-rich people? (me)

Yeah. This is where appropriating existing patterns like pay-walls becomes interesting. Instead of requiring registration and a fee, simply view in a p2p-enabled environment and help offset bandwidth costs. Of course there is more to it that that, but money not spent on infrastructure is money in the pockets of content creators and publishers.
