You've basically described all of Continental philosophy as "a mass of meaningless, incoherent, poetic mumbo-jumbo".

First, that's really not a particularly charitable way of describing it. Second, it bespeaks an Analytic approach to things they don't understand -- that is, to assume they're meaningless and not important (or at best some trivial little puzzle to solve). Third, it really doesn't help to understand what Continental philosophy is actually about.

Now, if you'd described Continental philosophy as difficult or incoherent to you, then that would be more reasonable. But it should be pointed out that plenty of analytic philosophy that is also difficult and incomprehensible to some (though I would grant that for the most part Analytics at least try to be clear in their language -- something that can't be said of most Continentals).

Homosexuality and promiscuity are closely intertwined, my argument is that they must be disentangled for homosexuality to be generally acceptable.

More to the point, a homosexual that adheres to traditional family values (ie: one partner for life, moderate sobriety, responsible adult) is much more appealing than one that exists outside of traditional family values (ie: promiscuous, heavy drug and alcohol use, other irresponsible behavior). In this instance (and numerous others), the basis of opposition to homosexuality is that acceptance invites degeneracy and destruction of harmonious society.
It's only objective if you're controlling the objectives. Here's my counter-example.

Note that the use of tabs has caused un-alignment. You've claimed that tab width is configurable in git's web view, but I can't figure out how to do it.

And further, if it requires me to configure in a certain way, then it's not really true that "everyone can configure tabs how they want".

I used to teach the web development immersive.

The quality of the courses depends on the quality of the instructors -- and because GA tends to hire instructors as contractors without benefits, it's difficult for them to retain good instructors.

I also think the rigor and quality of the curriculum varies widely between campuses. NYC and DC do have fairly solid curriculums and high expectations for students. I get the impression that this is not the same for all campuses. (As an example: a campus on the west coast spends one hour total on SQL, while campuses on the east coast spend 9-10 hours of lecture time along with two homework assignments.)
To be quite honest, it is accurate. Show me a homosexual that decries promiscuous lifestyles and drug use and I will show you a unicorn. Show me a person that advocates for gay rights while decrying promiscuity and I will show you ten unicorns.

Identity is the key differentiator between centralized applications and decentralized apps like Stealthy. Because Blockstack authentication allows you to create an identity on the blockchain, that identity is owned by you, immutable, and verifiable by anyone. It is neither controlled by Blockstack nor is it technically limited to Blockstack applications.
This is a bit of a tangent, but if you don't get in, don't read into it too much. The rejection could be due to many factors. It could very well be that you were rejected by the stage of your company. You may not have built out enough, or haven't had enough validation yet. I know a solo founder who didn't get in, but went on to raise 20m plus for his company (tuition.io). The fact that he was a solo founder and that he was still developing the product could have been the issue of why he was rejected. He went along to create a company that has 50+ employees. This is all to say you really have to develop the idea and see where your traction is to validate your idea. YC is a great organization to have backing you, but it's not always perfect in selecting great companies. Learn from the rejection, and apply those lessons, but commit to building a company.

Using bit manipulation to calculate chess piece movements is really quite satisfying. If magic bitboards are too confusing, the precursor - "kindergarten bitboards" - are a bit easier to understand. I have a description here if anyone is curious: https://github.com/cglouch/snakefish#sliding-pieces

I think once you understand the principle behind kindergarten bitboards, magic bitboards start to make more sense. It's basically a more clever way of indexing into a precomputed move table, that takes advantage of the redundancy in occupancy states, and requires even fewer instructions to determine the index. Although it does still feel kinda magic!
Yes, a lot of people are insecure. They need people to agree with them, and feel like them. Validate them. They need to see people the same gender, color, size and shape as them do things.

The problem of participatory democracy is that the people need to be informed and participate and vote for the issues, if no one cares about the surveillance then nothing is going to be done about it, and this is a major problem of the society; nothing is going to be done with facebook policy internally because there is no democratic process inside corporations.

The other issue is -- as I come to grips with it myself, is yes NSA has sweeping and unjust powers, which invade privacy of many, but so far this power has been largely benign, whereas facebook was either complicit or actively participated with the subversion of several western democracies.

It already is. People aren't eating zoo animals for fun. They are eating them because they are hungry.

> It can't just be for "ordinary people", it has to be for everyone, with a minimum level of rights protected by law.

Nicely put.

Around the Iraq War, I remember some clever cynic pointing out that while we might 'export democracy', it's still democratic for 51% of the people to vote to murder the other 49%. Or perhaps more commonly, to vote for a permanent dictator from the 51%. The fundamental advance of a healthy government isn't (just) democracy, it's a bedrock of inalienable or hard-to-alienate rights.

The recent talk about the 'paradox of liberalism' has been interesting, but it's all felt a bit misguided to me. There's a real question, sure, but the entire fight between "let intolerance go unchecked" and "be intolerant of intolerance" was a false dichotomy. The missing alternative is liberalism within boundaries - setting some threshold of behavior which isn't permitted, and can't be permitted by any minor political swing.

(Arguably what we were having was a debate about where to set those boundaries, but if so I wish we could actually say that.)

See other comment about code reviews.

In general though approval to market for particular indications is for one fixed configuration of a product, so your model parameters won't change.

All of this is in the process of being hashed out, but I expect for a while at least if you are doing on-line learning it will be in non-clinical configurations only and you will end up releasing an update periodically. Depending on the changes this may need a new 510(k) or not, but would definitely need a formal release.
Facebook put this burden on non-users, and they're currently arguing that this is "OK" in their probe.
>> In one clinical trial that used more than 900 images, IDx-DR correctly detected retinopathy about 87 percent of the time, and could correctly identify those who didn’t have the disease about 90 percent of the time.

I read that as .87 accuracy, .9 specificity (True Negative Rate). However, I can't find in the link provided in the article above the sensitivity (recall or True Positive Rate).

I'm guessing it goes a bit like this (assuming perfectly balanced classes which in reality they aren't):

Predicted + Predicted - Total
Actual + 378 72 450
Actual - 45 405 450
-------------------------------------
Total 423 477 900

Accuracy: 0.8700
Error: 0.1300
True Positive Rate: 0.8400
True Negative Rate: 0.9000
Precision: 0.8936
Recall (TPR): 0.8400
F-Score: 0.8660

I'm not sure how good or bad is 10% false positives and 16% false negatives are for that kind of diagnosis. The linked trial page says that 40% of diabetes patients have some degree of diabetic retinopathy (DR), that early treatment reduces vision loss "by as much as 52%" and that only some 50%-60% of people with diabetes have a yearly eye exam.

Off the top of my head, it looks like automated screening will do some good and probably more good than harm, but without knowing how doctors judge good vs harm there's no way to know for sure how useful this device will really be.
> Alright, I'm not for or against Google - I appreciate the things they've done but really notice their shortcomings - I'd say I'm more "pro-sensible advertising".

I am. I liked their services for years, but reality crept in. They're rotten apples. The majority of news headlines about Google for the past 2 years have been scandals and crimes against the public.

> No, but it can dictate what plugins are available in _their_ store for _their_ browser.

No not necessarily. If Google's only business was a browser and an app store for it, then maybe. But that's not their business. Their business is infecting every corner of every market. They are _clearly_ abusing their position as a monopoly to influence the market in their favor. Which is a crime, in this country. A good question is why hasn't the breakup started already? Hell the only reason they invented that "Alphabet" nonsense was so they could avoid monopoly abuse charges! That is evidence of criminal intentions! They're also one of the worst offenders for moving money off-shore to avoid paying their taxes, and they lie about it when challenged. That is the behavior of crooks.

> Absolutely, and there are other competitors in this space. Google is too big at this point to spin those off.

With all due respect, if you think a corporation is "too big" to break up then you don't understand this topic at all. I recommend the story about Ma Bell, which I think was the largest corporate breakup in American history. Google will be broken up in time, if they continue on the path they're on.

> It's not dead because there's no real valid alternative

that's not how economics work.

> This is where advertising falls apart and it all becomes valueless, which I think is more destructive overall.

I would suggest that, rather than destructive, it is _disruptive_. We were born into this world, but Advertising has not always existed. It was invented by men who were looking for ways to put bread on their table when they have basically nothing of value to offer the world. I think disrupting that is great. It's great because it encourages healthy economic evolution, that isn't technically "Destructive". But it might appear so, the same way a natural forest fire might appear disruptive. But it's necessary for healthy new growth.

The free ATM machine that is online advertising is going to dry up, and everyone who was relying upon that revenue stream is going to suffer, unless they recognize the warnings NOW, and invent new revenue streams, the same way that some men invented Advertising so many years ago. We invented literally every single thing in the entire economy. It's called "Adapt or Die". And they will. You will. Everyone does.

Airports aren't in the top five most beneficial routes for middle- and upper-class residents, either. There are all kinds of outer borough routes that would be of far greater benefit to the residents there.

This is sort of like the case of the couple who buys more house than they need because the in-laws visit once a year and they insist on having a room for them. It's silly to optimize for rare events. When you have to go to the airport, then it's particularly noticeable that there isn't a route to the airport. But going to the airport isn't on your everyday agenda. There are far more beneficial routes.

I like lisp as a programming language.

But, this article gives one of the reasons for avoiding its use in a high performance production environment. Provisioning a VM with over 25GB RAM for an application which requires about 4GB of it is a huge waste of resources.

While the common wisdom on HN is that for most applications, developer costs more than physical resources. Physical resources still cost money.

Initially list might be a good option for development velocity. But, over time as the application matures, adding features becomes more complicated and the velocity goes down anyway. Shifting to something which reduces costs by upto 6x might be worth it.
In practice? Pessimistic answer:

a) Usage still requires the presence of the Doctor.

b) The doctor does nothing but relay the AI’s message.

c) The doctor continues to charge the same and treat the same number of patients.

d) Everyone who expresses “hey isn’t the doctor redundant now? Shouldn’t we be treating more patients for cheaper” gets ridiculed as “one of those people”.

e) Edit: Also, the doctors’ association devotes significant resources to come up with memetically virulent reasons why the world would end if we took doctors out of the loop.

I mean, that’s how a lot of obviated jobs are currently treated...

>I think most philosophy departments in English-speaking universities are so analytic-oriented that asking English-speaking philosophers to rate late-20th-century Continental philosophers is somewhat pointless.

You'd be surprised, since Derrida, Lacan, Foucault, and all kind of post-modernists and late-20th-century continental philosophers also had made inroads in US universities.

Perhaps more on other humanities departments (e.g. social and gender studies) rather than philosophy?

I've been using GnuCash for nearly two decades (and one of these days I'll need to figure out how to archive previous years' data, although it hasn't really been a problem so far).

"You can even get it to work well across devices if you use tools like Drop Box. I don’t do this, but I’ve heard of others doing this without issues. That’s because GnuCash creates a single database file that can be easily backed up and sync’d across devices."

This is actually one of the things I rely on. I haven't done it as much lately, but running unison (https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) with my VPS before and after I run GnuCash let me use the latter on whichever computer I had handy. There have occasionally been version conflicts, but unison's much worse about that than GnuCash.

One other feature that recently broke is updating the market value of the stocks I have. Yahoo Finance finally killed off the service and I haven't found a really suitable replacement.

It is increasingly crazy to me that we pour so much money into government and then expect nothing of them. Any solution to real problems we face (pollution, traffic, no parking) is expected to come from the private sector. We only expect Government to do the bare minimum and not implode. Government projects efficiently solving these problems would be the ultimate vertical integration, its maddening that so little value is provided to citizens.

It feels like we are totally duped into paying more and more taxes while continually lowering our expectations, although I always feel this way during tax season :p.

An authoring platform enabling authors/journalists to "open source" their fact checking. That is, making their fact checking reviewable and reusable.

Here's a demo article on net neutrality! https://sourcedfact.com/a/net-neutrality-how-we-got-here

When it comes to media, trust by brand is breaking down. Media outlets can't expect their audience to just trust their assertions because of their big name anymore. That used to work when there were only a handful of outlets that any given person would be exposed to, making it possible to assign mental trust values to these outlets.

To re-earn their audience's trust, outlets have to start "showing their work", in other words making their fact-checking openly and collaboratively reviewable.

Good luck all!
