It is not that it cannot be translated into knowledge by professionals, it's that they'll never be able to comprehend what exactly is going on unless they've also suffered from mental illness. I can tell you how to catch a fish, because I've read all of the books on catching fish. I've watched fishing tournaments, and I've even helped people get into fishing. But I've never fished before. I won't be able to tell you how to really work the line. I can fill in the gaps, but it's usually not as effective as first-hand account.

There's also the other side that most trained professionals are not equipped to handle serious cases. The lack of literature on quality-of-life increasing treatments for serious illnesses (major depressives, schizophrenics, etc.) is another factor. Most professionals get their information second-hand from textbooks and their education. Then secondly, from practice. Where as the first-hand experience of mental illness is the primary source of practical guidelines for those who suffer from them.

There's also the statistic that around 60% of people with mental illness don't get or stop getting treatment. With schizophrenics and more serious sufferers being on the tail end of that.
I'm glad to hear this sentiment. I understand where people are coming from regarding Facebook being a shallow or toxic environment. It can definitely be both. And concerns about the company's practices are legitimate as well. But my experience is like yours.

Facebook is also a good way to keep in touch with people, and to participate in online discussions. There are tons of people I've reconnected with, or flat out met, that I would not have without FB.
They did appeal, and the Supreme Court pretty much said they didn't want to look at this until a trial took place on the fair use question. Now that that's happened, I assume there will be another appeal to the Supreme Court.
>The Post Office was mandated by the founding fathers under the principle that everyone has the right to secure, efficient, reliable, and affordable mail service.

The founders would not have talked about postal service as a "right". A good idea? Yes. Stupid to not have one? Yes. A right? No.

>The most recent being the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 which required the USPS to switch from a Pay-As-You-Go to a Pre-Funded model for it's retirement plans.

Congress saw the writing on the wall—that the Postal Service was probably going to suffer permanently declining revenue in the long run. They took steps to make sure that the financial burden of paying for unfunded pension liabilities did not fall on the taxpayers.
"Clean your room" is an internalization: how can you judge or even change the world if your room (your life) is a mess? The point is to fix yourself first, then start taking on the world. And do it all in small steps.

You don't feel any sort of pride after getting yourself in order? Are you sure you have yourself in order?
Remember Facebook probably tracks your IP address and user-agent anyway, I'd be skeptical that Facebook doesn't put two and two together.

Just the same way a bank clerk is given a set of security questions so that he could prove your identity and the legal/security departments make sure those questions are relevant and to be trusted. Most of the time you're not speaking to the bank's lawyers when trying to open an account.
Try having some compassion for others. In NYC where I live there are a number of elderly on fixed incomes that need to get around by taxi/uber. Nobody forces people to drive uber/taxis or work at McDonalds, etc.

But being elderly and infirm and for many being on a fixed income is forced on many.

Don't you have any grandparents?

Adjust down to 10k-15k; the wage doesn't have to be livable in a single apt with no partners, but it should be enough that you can split out living expenses in a cheap midwestern city with 2-3 roommates. Welcome side effect, we spread people and wealth more evenly across the country in a small way. People are encouraged to find the cheapest possible living arrangements, which will include developing currently unwanted land.

Recognize that most people are going to be put off from the bare minimum arrangement, and that you don't have to pay people making above some arbitrary line, something like 6-7x the UBI.

Many of the social programs currently running could be shut down with UBI.

And all of these are based on the assumption that automation will continue to increase efficiency. Right now, it would be nearly impossible, especially with the legislation that exists. It's dependent on taxing the owners of businesses with high automation, recognizing that we're not far out from some truly massive automated systems, the most immediate being logistics and transport.
There is an old car-vs-computer joke about this I'm going to butcher, but I think it is more in line with what the parent meant:

Computer Engineer: If cars advanced as fast as computers, they'd go mach 1 and get thousands of miles to the gallon by now!

Car Engineer: If cars progressed like computers they'd inexplicably die on you and you'd have to uninstall and reinstall your tires to get it to drive again
It seems that Windows phone would have filled the Android mid-range/licensed niche if Android wasn't already established.
You're returning it to different people though. At least if you have the common sense to tax the rich.

The rich would still get $30k, like everyone else. It's just that their increase in taxes would be bigger than that.
You seem dubious about the market size of this.

> This gel does nothing for people who just want to hookup because of the risk of STDs. So you still have to use a condom anyway so why get the gel injection?

Aside from the hookup crowd being the minority of the available market, this further reduces the probability of accidental pregnancy even for them.

> So women will use BC in both phases because it's the path of least resistance

Maybe, maybe not as sibling comments stress. Besides, this further decreases chances of pregnancy beyond female birth control alone.

> I could see this working best as an alternative to vasectomy for a couple that is done having kids

It's quite reversable (at least according to this article), so its market is reasonably far larger than that of a vasectomy.

Jaguar doesn't say "premium" to me. With all their electrical issues in the past, I'll be staying far away from an electric Jaguar.
I thought the same. But, as I started to work with react in a side project, now I really enjoy it. In the beginning is a really mess. But, as you begin to think in a "data stream oriented way" (like you do in Haskell with lists), your templates look like any regular framework. It stay isolated in a function with no more than value substitutions. You even can separate in a different file. The only really JS code I have mixed with html has "if" and "map/for" statements. This is, yet, the uglier part for me (at least, now).

Back when people were trying to overthrow monarchies to introduce democracy and capitalism it didn't exactly go smoothly either. Capitalism in America might not have even been possible without the extensive use of slave labor and the genocide of an entire continent of people. There is such an ahistorical bend to anti-socialist rhetoric that is so pervasive in our society it's nearly impossible to see.
Also referring to trans people as “cross-dressers” is generally not good form. I don’t think he means anything by it, but it tends to put people off.
Critical thought would agree. Unfortunately for Volvo, the vehicle was a Volvo and without proper context (e.g. only looking at an image) it'd be easy to miss that Uber's self-driving technology was being used - not Volvo's.
In my experience GeoIP is unreliable.

Right now GeoIP identifies my desktop computer as being in northern Nevada. I'm 400 miles away.

Right GeoIP identifies my laptop as being in Atlanta. I'm 2,300 miles from Atlanta.

Right now GeoIP identifies my wireless hotspot as being in Los Angeles. I'm more than 400 miles from Los Angeles.

Three devices, inches away from each other in reality. But GeoIP thinks they're on opposite ends of the country.

GeoIP has certainly improved in the last few years, but I would never rely on it for anything important.
It can be, but it doesn't have to be. There are different ways to use it. Fast food is bad for you no matter what, and the only to not be harmed by it is to use it sparingly.

However, social networking can be used constructively, and doesn't necessarily need to be kept to a minimum in order to not be harmful.

If you’re not violently opposed to MongoDB Graylog is very popular. I haven’t heard bad things about it so far besides the MongoDB portion but log aggregation is one of those systems that may be ok with some hiccups from time to time as opposed to an actual primary business data store.
This isn't a bait and switch based on legalities. If Oracle made representations to Google that they didn't mind them using their software, Google would be able to claim that Oracle is estopped from pursuing a claim due to the prior authorization they received.

What's being stated here is that Google's infringement improved Oracle's market position - that fact doesn't bar Oracle from pursuing their remedy against infringement. If you steal my software for making phones chirp every time you get a tweet and widely distribute it to the point that it becomes the de-facto standard in the tweet notification market, it doesn't magically mean that I don't get to come after you for stealing my tweet tech.

Here's the decision itself. Estopple is mentioned 0 times. This isn't because Google's legal team is braindead. It's because the argument that the Google's use was authorized following them walking away mid-licensing negotiation is insane. Google's defense is based on fair use.

What Are 'Data Brokers,' and Why Are They Scooping Up Information About You?
I agree that humans in general with unchecked power can become dictatorial maniacs. I disagree that the CEOs of ride-hailing companies specifically will become dictatorial maniacs. I think that kind of sensationalist language discredits the article to a large degree, and doesn't contribute to the author's argument in a concrete way. It's an appeal to emotion, not a rational and defensible argument.
Ask HN: Who are the biggest names in the personal data processing industry?
Obviously, data is valuable. I'd like to pose this question to pool the entire HN knowledgebase to create a list of the biggest businesses that process personal data, directly and indirectly.

We obviously have companies with direct contact to the end user (via a product), like Facebook. But we also have the Ad Networks and other companies that are in the business of selling personal data.
But the thing is Google didn't use the Oracle Java engine. They implemented their own runtime environment that's mostly API compatible with Java (and getting further from that as the years go on).

This gets into really critical concerns around APIs. If commercial product A sucks and I'm in a shop where we made our own drop in replacement that implement's A's APIs .. then we open source that drop-in replacement and put it on Github so anyone can use it, are we no violating their copyright just by implementing their API?

This can set dangerous prescient when it comes to interoperability and reverse engineering.
> That is for their “megawatt” chargers not the current infrastructure.

I never mentioned 'current' infrastructure, whatever that means. We're clearly talking about Tesla Semi here, that's pretty clearly not going to fit in your ordinary Tesla supercharger stall.

As for the other 'problems' - they are all solvable. I'm sure Fleet operators and major truck stops will all be jointly cooperating to add MW charging infrastructure along the trial routes. It benefits the fleet operator, it benefits the truck stop operator.

Electrical grid operators won't have an issue with it - if you look back at previous postings on HN you'll find several examples where grid operators are struggling to find demand for the grid, given the rise in household efficiency and offshoring of major production infrastructure.

Yes it'll require some work to ensure there's not huge spikes in demand, but that's solvable too. Tesla (and others) are already implementing local battery storage at some of their superchargers. This lets them have a more consistent draw on the grid.

The ends result of this is that you end up having a huge amount of deployed battery storage at truck stops all over, able to take advantage of spikes in energy production, respond to grid shortages, and smartly manage charging of trucks.

Given it's all integrated, there's no reason a major fleet operator wouldn't sign some kind of contract allowing their fleet charging to be slowed or suspended momentarily in return for lower charging costs.

I also suspect that there will be (at least) two categories of charger - the immediate "I'm on a short break" MW charger, where you're expected to move on after getting 80% or more capacity, and then an overnight charging slot where you park up for your 10+ hour break.
Regarding (1), they could just lease the cars from the car manufacturers. As I recall, that was one of the reasons why GE invested so heavily in Lyft.
The fact that I've seen stories like that with previous FB algorithm changes (and with virtually every one of Google's algorithm changes, too) make me doubt that this is really that unprecedented.
> Philosophers have come to this question...
> My question is: What is the practical use of this theory of mind?

The practical use is elevation of the professional status of Andy Clark, and ultimately to sell articles, books, and public appearances.

Can it be anything else in this world? It is far too nebulous to nail down in any concrete manner, so it's practical application is a money grab, and little more. I bet Andy knows this too, but a philosopher's got to eat, has to promote themselves professionally, and owns an ego too. Why not?

> why isn't the US govt. helping to fund something like this?

It’s extremely hard to get grant funding for such a project. First of all, final stage drug development is virtually never done in government-funded labs: there’s no suitable infrastructure, and such projects are too long-term and too costly to fit well within the government funding cycle (think about who would be doing the research: most researchers’ stay at a given employer are too short).

In addition, the current (but not necessarily recent!) political climate probably makes this even harder to get funding for. Sexual health is very much at the side-line already, and funding something that would be politicised as “supporting promiscuity” might well be political suicide.

There's also the "low brow" (?) one with Stormy Daniels though, as well as the supposed video where Trump gets pissed on by Russian prostitutes.

The Daniels case just ended, with her pretty much admitting there's no evidence. Another case of trolling IMO; first we had fake news, lately we have trolling, where a SHOCKING! revelation is announced and talked about for a week (remember that memo?), everyone in the media focuses on it and makes a lot of possible scenarios, aaand then it turns out it wasn't a serious thing. But there's been an impact already.
OT: Thinking about API copyright I wonder how that is supposed to work in other programming languages e.g. Golang. Lets assume Google owns the copyright of the 'io.Writer' interface for the moment.

Is everybody who has implemented a struct with a Writer method which satisfies the 'io.Writer' interface and as oracle stated it 'who wants to use them for a competing platform or to embed them in an electronic device' now (hypothetical) at risk of being prosecuted because they infringe Googles copyright?

I live in NYC and find a NY Times article written like this embarrassing. Clearly the author does not care for the elderly who, many of whom have trouble walking, and many of whom are on fixed incomes that must use taxis/ubers in order to go from place to place.

I suggest the NYT have an elderly person who has trouble walking and who is on a fixed income write about whether they believe these rates should be raised.

A complete total lack of empathy for others.
Should we assume that people can only hold one thought in their head at a time?

Tcl had event-driven programming much longer than JavaScript (and much more pleasant).

I think Erlang may have been the first production platform to do it, but I'm not sure about that. I suspect the idea has been around for a very long time, and there's probably some obscure language out there from 1960s IBM mainframes that came up with the idea.
Do you oppose copyright on all software, i. e. source code, as well?

Because I could somewhat understand that sort of IP anarchism, although I wouldn't agree. But I'm having a hard time thinking about a coherent reasoning to see source code as copyrightable, yet deny the same to APIs.

Copyright applies to any creative endeavours that reach a certain level of breath and/or depth. Having been involved in a few library projects, I have witnessed quite a few where I would say the API was far more important, and sometimes took more work, than the underlying implementation.

Look, for example, at all the work done in standard-setting bodies: RFCs, WHATWG, etc. They are all licensed freely, yes. But the attachment of licenses to those documents implies an acknowledgement by the authors (and the community) that their work falls under copyright.
Those companies lie in their reply to you saying that they hold no information. They someone leaks the fact that they actually do hold your information; authorities organise a warrant to dump all of their hardware and realise the company was illegally collecting data. They end up in court.

I was under the impression that no exchanges handle shielded transactions. What do you mean by timing? I would assume you go t-z-t and leave it quite a while as shielded.

>can't wait for bulletproofs!

Bulletproofs do not help verification time which is why we have low ring size. Going from 5 to 21 ringsize only increases size 8%. 15 is even less, a reasonable compromise on size. There is an unspecified perf target that must be met on verification.

I went college in the 80s, so social networking on the net wasn't a thing. (Well, mostly... I did manage to meet one of my best friends in college chatting on the Vax before I ever met her in person.)

I'm definitely an introvert, and not having social networking at that age was probably a good thing for me. I don't feel like I missed anything not having it, but I'm happy to have it now, especially when the people I used to know are scattered very widely geographically.
