To reiterate a comment I made yesterday, I used to have this viewpoint, that what we see and hear is objective, until I experimented with psychedelics, and my entire concept of reality was shattered.

Reality is objective, we can measure the spectrum of this audio clip, or the RGB values on the image of the dress. But the reality we experience is subjective, whether we hear laurel or yanny, whether the dress is blue or gold. What we see, what we hear, what we taste, it all gets subconsciously pre-processed before it reaches out conscious mind. To tie into another HN article from yesterday, an expensive bottle of wine does taste better to us, even if it's exactly the same wine inside. The objective reality is that it's the same wine, but our subjective reality, from what we see, from what we taste, is that the expensive bottle is a fine wine.

Plato recognised this when he penned the Allegory of the Cave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave)

I've started to apply this realisation to life in general. If someone has a different viewpoint, I try to understand why they think that way, what has caused them to have that belief. So often in this day and age, people have a set opinion and think that if you disagree you're a bad person, or being deliberately wrong or lying.

As much as I hate to wade into the Trump debate and American politics, this has been one of the failures of the left in the USA. Instead of trying to understand why somebody might support Trump, instead of trying to view the world through a different lens, they just tried to demonise Trump supporters and convince everybody that if they voted for Trump they were bad people.

The political Right do exactly the same thing. Instead of trying to understand the viewpoint of the left, they accuse them of being socialists and hating America.

In the real world, "0% false positives" isn't really feasible.
Yes. I started only hearing Yanny, but after hearing Laurel I was slowly unable to hear Yanny again in the same way I had originally.
Interesting - I’ve been using NVMe devices on Linux for a couple years now and never run into this problem. And an I/O timeout of 255 seconds seems really high to begin with. Is there frequently that much latency in the EBS storage backplane? (We also run c5.9xl instances and have not yet experienced the phenomenon you discuss.)

In any event, the instance storage is unlikely to run afoul of any such timeouts since it’s more or less directly attached (albeit virtualized) and there’s no SAN involved.
That is the whole idea of the UWP model on Windows, and the ongoing work to put Win32 apps inside of the same containers.

Or the sandbox models on Android, iOS and macOS.
To be perfectly honest, I'm inclined to say "yes." And I don't think it's even close.

LSD is one of the most important inventions in the history of humanity. The state has chosen to ban it, which to me seems a little childish. But I mean, I get it. Sure, go ahead, ban it for now.

In the face of such a small-minded prohibition, I might look around for tooling which seems imbued by its nature with a desire to circumvent such a ban. And even if it is scaffolded on hundreds of billions of dollars, it has the hallmark of a sacred origin if it's successful at doing that.

Or maybe not. I don't really know.

But I do feel confident that, in light of such circumvention, it's not quite correct to write it off as "nothing at all," which blockchain skeptics seem wont to do.
I've been married twice. I am perfectly aware of the implications of marriage and that's why I won't engage in it again.

And you're right: This isn't the place for relationship advice, nor was I asking for any.
> What you are saying is equivalent to stating a tautology: Elsevier is still important for researchers' careers because Elsevier is still important for researchers' careers.

It's not a tautology, it's a vicious cycle: https://medium.com/flockademic/the-vicious-cycle-of-scholarl...

I think he's demonstrating some important coding skills, but the changes he makes are very local, and it's also important to think about overall structure and interaction between program components The methods he's ridiculing have some utility for that kind of work.
If people are already being punched in the face in secret, 24/7, doing it ONE time with their knowledge to open their minds to their reality sounds pretty good to me.
Uhm, I can barely code my way out of a paper bag but I took a stab at exactly that in https://github.com/ecausarano/heron

At some stage it even worked when used in the same lan. I guess I’m not one of those heroes that can single-handedly design and build a working program, I wish I could muster some help to make it real...
Sundar Pichai specifically mentioned that it was real time call. It is highly unlikely that person at that position would flatout lie on camera. However it was indeed odd that they avoid actually showing a person making a call from the stage. I tend to think Pichai did white lie in the sense it was "real time" but recorded in past call and perhaps after several trials and well conditioned environment.

I think the Nobel prize is not what drives most researchers. Rather, tenure track and grant application committees should only consider open access research. However, obviously their main concern is finding the "best" applicants, not changing the scholarly publishing ecosystem, and doing so would help the former but arguably hinder the latter.
This is a very good overview of the victimhood culture.

It compares it with dignity cultures and honor cultures and specifies some specific characteristics of the victimhood culture.
Has anyone got direct, first hand experience with such a thing? I'm wondering if it's become urban legend.

I've inherited several ancient code bases where everyone knew silly password rules were a legacy requirement. And ultimately after a lot of digging, every time they were a "legacy limitation" because the original project manager called for it, and could easily be removed by commenting out one check. Which was never allowed to happen, because it was a "constraint that couldn't be changed".

I do accept there are databases with eight character fields for maximums, but beyond that, I'm interested in any genuine experience.
Unfortunately, funders don't want to restrict where researchers can publish the work (in order to prevent themselves from being able to silence results they might not like, i.e. hinder "academic freedom"). This means that this demand is implemented by simply paying hugely disproportionate publishing fees ("article processing charges") to the same old journals to make the individual articles they funded available as open access.
There are thosuands of horror stories how the Schufa isn't able or willing to correct wrong data. And no data protection agency in Germany did ever brought such a case to a court.

Nope, it's Sweden :) Much is still unclear though, as these negotiations were done on the level of the universities, so even academic librarians don't fully know what this might mean to e.g. their budgets, and whether they can invest the money saved in open research infrastructure.

Writing this hoping it will help someone, so being really sloppy on argumentation. Just take the following as my personal experience anecdote.

If that new (or any) drug works for you - great.
But consider that there are no nerves that are responsible for the pain feeling in the brain itself. So we must conclude that the pain is psychological and should be treated that way.

For me the treatment was a routine to pull out my (silly) fears from being consciously or unconsciously suppressed and verbalize them. Once those fears were verbalized the headache would go away. So in my case the headache was a signal of an important thinking to be done that I have blocked away.

Verbalizing was initially easier by just writing down all thoughts even most silly on a piece of paper. Later I could do it in my head.

Maybe it’s a different thing in your case, still chances are you can find an exit “backtracking through the entrance into your condition”, so to say. The challenging part is to get the insight as to what your deadend looks like.
I smirked a bit, the EU certainly didn't advertise it in the last two years but it was definitely around. But just like in HGttG there isn't much use in yelling in protest now, grab a towel and grab something safe. (I should sent out my towel reminders to some of my users since I updated a few pages)
Agreed. Google is being taken over by marketers and PMs who want to quickly advance their careers. Google Wave comes to mind.
seems like a reference to baby teeth coming out.
Journals do usually list the submission date, I believe. Otherwise, submitting your work to a preprint server can prove that you were first (assuming you trust the preprint server), although in some fields, journal publication is still the only thing recognised as planting the pole.

You'd only need blockchain if you don't trust the preprint servers, but I don't think there's reason not to.
Oh... nvim had this along time ago.

I can’t reallly understand what you are trying to say.

But I think most people here would agree that running a company that does something useful is better than just sitting on patents and suing people for infringing on them.
This is it. They are not distributors, they are the gateway to scientific professional advance. You will not get much just by posting things to arxiv.
When Obamacare was being debated, the UK was accused of having "death panels", which were basically this: deciding that it was uneconomical to provide certain types of care to certain types of patients where the QALYs achieved would be minimal and excessively expensive.

But that is "communist" and so Americans as a whole could never agree to it. They'd rather squeeze every last day out of someone rich, even with a low or negative quality of life impact, and let the poor die early.

I don't live there and it makes me mad too. It fails the Rawlsian test of ethics (veil of ignorance), which I think is a good way to decide on political issues.

But what bubble? Where's the irrationally increasing asset values at a macro level? Where's the "greater fool" that's buying it all up?

Without that, there's nothing to burst.

Moreover, this has been going on for so long, at least since (before) the dot-com boom, and we've had quite a few economic downturns. It's not very credible that any bubble would survive that.
One would say that anything that offsets the narrowness of perspective you usually see in discussions between healthcare professionals is worth it. Yeah, most advice here is harmful, but so are things in other fields where we have learned to swallow a need for diversity of perspective and diversity of opinions...

You can't really avoid hurtful misinformation so you could at least enjoy the benefits that the more open climate engendering it offers... I really hope the coming wave of "garage bio-hacking" brings a more playful and research accelerating attitude to the biomedical fields (along with some little bit of unavoidable death and maiming that we can hopefully laugh off)...
Peer review is necessary and time-consuming, that is true. But I do not believe that requires the need for profit-focused enterprises like Elsevier or the other publishing houses. I don't think any field has come up with a perfect solution yet, but as a computer scientist, things seem less grim than in many other disciplines of science.

I publish most of my research in the proceedings of the ACM conferences. ACM is a professional association, not a for-profit enterprise. Peer review is carried out by unpaid program committees, where I believe the primary motivation to participate is a combination of moral obligation, networking (with the other committee members), and an opportunity to get exposed to cutting-edge research. This part is similar to other fields, I believe. The main difference is that paper authors are expected to provide camera-ready PDFs of their paper, with the ACM doing little apart from proving LaTeX templates, concatenating the PDFs, and perhaps arranging a few print runs (but I think it's been a while since I have seen physical proceedings).

Most ACM conferences (and journals) are not open access, but some are. Generally it takes a subscription to their Digital Library to download the papers. My impression is that this subscription is cheaper than for the large publishing houses, but I don't know. In any case, an author can pick various licensing models for their paper, with one of them permitting the author to provide a "preprint" of the paper on their personal or institutional website. In practice, that means the papers are publicly available with minor effort, only that ACM does not take responsibility for the hosting.

The entire process appears quite lean, and the expenses incurred by ACM are covered through general membership and conference attendance charges. Further, the ACM appears to continually (and rather aggressively) move towards even more open access-ish policies, likely because it is ultimately run by academics.

The main difference from arXiv is that pre-publication peer review does actually take place.

Even using two X servers under two logins, the fact is that desktop apps by default have much more freedom and therefore much more surface to attack. Even the kernel syscalls alone are not safe; exploits that elevate processes to root are not rare. You'd need to lock them down much more than just using different users.

By the way, they may have an history, but nowadays I wouldn't bet on the security of the average distro vs Windows, and I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool Debian user. For example, their Desktop environment does have protections against cross-application attacks, unlike X.
I saw that one coming a mile away, thank you for the quote though :)

And no, this is not about demolishing our way of life, the town we live in or the planet, it's about respecting the privacy of your users, which - for a change - is actually a positive thing. Unless of course you weren't going to do that in the first place you should welcome the development, I imagine that in a just world the Vogons would be on the receiving end of it.

Demo faking happens quite a lot even when company is not seeking external investment. I won't name the name but one of the high profile demos by a was actually borderline fake. The CEO insisted for his desired demo and was promised by his senior team months in advance. The whole keynote was structured around this demo. As usual, project was behind the schedule and hopeless. Ultimately the decision was to semi-fake the things while walking the fine line.

I worked in the scientific publishing industry. Not directly for Elsevier, but we had dealings with them too.

Many people here view Elsevier as this evil nebulous entity. Leaving "evil" aside, like every large business, Elsevier is composed to people, some of them very smart.

Which is to say Elsevier has seen this "open access" movement coming for a better part of a decade now, just like everyone else. As far back as 2011 the industry has been inventing ways to make "open access" as profitable as the current system (ideally, even more). Green open access, gold open access, diamond and hybrid; moving walls, paywalls, article processing charges…

Having seen the sausage made, I guess I'm a little cynical about "open access". I see it devoid of the idealistic "stick it to the man" connotations, and more like another feel-good buzzword scam.
In regard to children I view it as part of two different interpretations. One is that data in regard to children need to be considered with extra care and in those cases that the process is written down or is more formal then that consideration need to addressed.

The other way to see it is a bridge to the US regulation COPPA, where operators in the US and EU now have to follow the same rules in regard to children. In this case Monal would have to move out of both EU and US in order to avoid the regulations in regard to children.
Every one of these proprietary safety systems are a data-free zone it seems...
I am not sure how the popular implementations address this, but generally speaking you can add arbitrary additional plaintext to each transaction in the block, and contribute that extra data to the signature with the private key. For example, full name or social security number (not applicable in the US since socials are private info, but feasible in asymmetric key ID systems such as Estonia's. Which brings up another potential application of blockchain: identity verification and management).

Nice, didn't know that.
With regard to the self-driving car revolution, last year Intel purchased Mobileye. Just today it was announced that they closed a deal to include their hardware/software in 8+ million cars. So don't count them out yet.

Not to discount any of your other points, which seem quite on point. Apple surely has been itching to replace them with their A series chips.
Data cleanup is also a great use. For example, we needed to parse an amount of address data, we just needed country, state (or equivalent), city, we gave out each address three times, whatever results were the same at least twice was accepted. We had over 92% where all three were the same, another 7% with 2-1 (required review), less than 1% needed either manual cleanup before re-Turking or just manually entering some of the more gnarly cases. We considered it a truly massive success, price efficient and absolutely unbelievable quick.
My experience is exactly the same. Looks like fb has failed it big time on mobile. Is there a method to their madness? I’d really like to know.
Twitter is not a replacement as it’s totally public but it’s much more fun right now exactly for the lack of that silly algorithmic selection of posts.
Amazing psychoacoustic illusion.

Yeah, but the analogy is not good...

* We've known about the GDPR for around 2 years.

* The GDPR text, national regulators' comments, industry opinion, sample docs and a plethora of free resources have been readily accessible on the Internet for about the same length of time.

Having worked on the GDPR docs for a medium-sized business that builds learning management systems for corporate customers (about 100 live systems + dev and testing platforms where we are a processor of their personal data), it took about 3 weeks-worth of time to re-audit our platforms, complete a more detailed risk/impact assessment and write this all up together with some procedures for handling enquiries.

Yes it took time, and we went the extra mile with diagrams and tables because the docs are customer-facing, but handled in a timely fashion, GDPR compliance is not a brick wall to business continuity.

If a business already has in place a baseline level of good information security practice, GDPR compliance is not that hard.
