I’m not religious, fwiw. What I said applies to both religious and non-religious people. I just think people who subordinate themselves to a higher power (or purpose) tend to be more concentrated among the religious.
Ohh wow. I totally forgot about that. :P
The linked article is about how despite those services obviously having value to their users, they aren't accounted for in economic statistics, e.g. in measuring productivity, because they are "free" (i.e. paid for by subjecting oneself to advertising/tracking).

It is people that matter; all software is only made to serve people. One person can be the holder of a solution to an important problem, so that person must be able to express his ideas even when they go against the common wisdom.
I was also taken aback by the author's insistence on Zuckerberg "not knowing the sense of the word community". Can't the author see that the majority of people nowadays have formed communities on Facebook? What does he/her expect, for us to go back to forming zadrugas? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zadruga)

You edited your reply ;). Replying to the first edit, You mean that The Flood took longer to kill everyone who wasn't on The Ark?

And to your second edits meaning: I also like to stick to facts, but I was replying to Christians claiming that non-godly people are more evil than godly people by pointing out how nasty they believe God to be.

Estimates of how many citizens were killed in the Soviet Union vary and depend on how you count and what you count
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_deaths_in_the_Sovi... 2-6m seems a bad enough number for Internet arguments.

Ww2 killed 60-80m and that was caused by Hitler who was Catholic (although he didn't kill in the name of religion).

Of course other things God supposedly created have killed far more, such as Spanish Flu which killed 500m and The Black Death which killed 30-60% of everyone in Europe.

I would advise disabling IPv6 for any system where leaking is really important. Honestly, I would suggest Whonix or a similar operating system where all outbound traffic goes over Tor by design and has been configured by experts.
I don't see the value in this myself either but nice with experiments I guess. I've never used my laptop and wished for a small screen in the touchpad. But for some tech, you have to try it to understand.

> I’m not so sure that a willingness to make your existence subordinate to a higher power is all that separable from doing good.

It's quite separable from doing good, as there are endless historical examples of people subordinating their existence to a higher power and doing virtually unmitigated evil as a direct consequence.

OTOH, it may be the case that recognizing a very specific kind of higher purpose than one self is deeply linked to doing good, but to the extent that is true I don't think is all that strongly correlated with religion; I do think the right framing of religion is beneficial (and wrong framings harmful) to channeling that pre-existing inclination into good results, but that's a different issue.

Ask HN: Is there a Google Analytics for server-side logs?
We're running a startup and doing some advertising and my 2012 brain said "hey let's use Google Analytics" without realizing that most of the Internet now uses adblockers like uBlock Origin. The result is that while I really like the way GA shows us data, the data itself seems to be pretty bad and I had to go out of my way to disable uBlock to show up anywhere in the interface.

Does anyone know a similar system we can use that would parse our logs and show us reports and graphs of similar quality to GA?

> I have consistently found intensely, cerebrally religious people to be some of my favorite people to talk to. And I see so much good come from people who seat religion at the head of their table

But have equally seen other things at the heads of those good tables. And some truly bad fruit in each case!

My own understanding today is that there are many good people in the world, all feeling different parts of the elephant, and we all need each other to figure out the whole:

From the article: "Canonical can deliver an OpenStack platform to an enterprise in two weeks with everything in place."
Tortoisehg being cross platform is important - users are on a mix of OSs and it's useful to be able to recommend one tool that their colleagues using the same software will also be using. Also, our software is controlled via scripts written by the user, and so we recommend they version control their own code. A uniform GUI for this makes it easier to get new students up to speed with how to operate these things. So version control isn't just for the developers necessarily (though there's no reason why we couldn't use git for development of the software itself even though the users use a different version control system)

Searching probably isn't how people find out about our project, though I'm not sure. We have a published paper that gets citations, so people find out that way, and I suspect it might be mostly word of mouth. But we really don't know.

You're right, we should ask them! But we have zero telemetry so we only know about the users who participate in the mailing list or issue tracker or otherwise contact us.
GTK gets bad points for me because it forces me to use their file choosers, no choice to avoid that then attempt some runtime patching the applications.11

This is likely true for the large scale evils, where religion is used to coerce people into terrible acts. It's less clear for smaller evils that religion is to blame for. Having a discussion on the ethics of something like homosexuality becomes much harder when a significant portion of crowd thinks a vengeful god has forbidden it.

Further, I find the long running system of a tithe to be rather evil, and can't see an equivalent without religion. A tax for the general well being of your afterlife is rather unique.

Back in 2010, a Youtuber named Derek Lieu created a supercut called "Every Anime Opening Ever Made" [0]. One of the notes:

> Interesting thing I learned, if a character is running it's overwhelmingly to the left of the screen.

(Watching the video, "running" may as well also include "standing" and "flying")

Characters moving is a bit different than a diorama, but there may be something to it. I think I remember something similar someone else had found about western animation, that it's biased towards having characters move to the right rather than the left.

> the weak job market offers few alternatives

The job market in the US is booming. It's the exact opposite of a weak job market.

The manufacturing unemployment rate is 2.x%.

GDP will grow by a trillion dollars in 2018, nearly equal to the entire size of Mexico's economy. The US economy will expand at a rate three times faster than the EU economy this year (this quarter will be seven times faster than the growth rate in Germany, and Japan's economy is shrinking again by contrast).

Nearly one million full-time jobs were gained in the month of May [1], with a large decline in part-time jobs. That's the largest full-time monthly job gain in 20 years.

The U6 unemployment rate is back down to a level that is historically considered very healthy.

Wages are rising at the fastest rate in a decade.

There are more job openings than there are people looking for jobs, the first time that has happened in decades.

A few interesting things to note on this topic:

1) Prevalence of MTHFR gene variants you refer to is very high, e.g. 10%/50% for homo/heterozygous C677T SNP [1] (with frequencies varying substantially between ethnic groups).

2) Effects tend to be stronger with two copies of a variant (homozygous), but a single copy (heterozygous) may still be a concern, e.g. for C677T: "Individuals with the 677TT genotype, have approximately 30% the MTHFR enzyme activity of those with the 677CC genotype, whereas heterozygotes 677CT have around 65% of enzymatic activity" [2]

3) It seems odd to me that pharmacological dosages of folate are getting prescribed (I mean, it's a nutrient so why take it in doses that exceed the nutritional range?):

"The most active form of folate has recently been approved in the United States as a prescription medical food for depressed patients with folate deficiency. Doses are usually 7.5 to 15 mg/d". [3]

"Another concern is that folate doses > 800 μg/d can result in high levels of unmetabolized serum folic acid, reducing
the amount of brain l-methylfolate and leading to decreased monoamines, an outcome that potentially increases the risk
of or exacerbates depression." [3]

Folate RDA is 400-800 μg/d depending on pregnancy status [4]

> What I said applies to both religious and non-religious people.

My problem is that it applies to theists in a positive way and atheists in a negative way. You complain that hardcore atheists are too critical of the worst of religion, then you say something absurdly critical about atheists.
The biggest question I have is if the input resolution and latency are better than a traditional touch pad. The additional display will never be useful enough to overcome a mediocre touch pad experience.

Correctness also works the other way around. We needed to link to databases with non-matching customer IDs, the analyst on the team spent several hours automating fuzzy matching of customer names in R before we concluded it was easier and more correct to build a mapping table by hand for the few 100 that didn’t match.

The Instagram dilemma and how it's hurting our startup
I run a UK based startup (a SaaS whitelabel social media scheduling solution). We've seen enormous interest from across the globe and have a very passionate group of initial customers.

However... We lose around 90% of our leads because we can't allow posting to Instagram. This isn't a technical issue - we can Integrate with the API very easily.

Instead it's a contact issue. In order to get access to the Instagram API we have to be a Partner. In order to apply be a Partner you have to know someone on the Partner team who will vouch for you. A catch 22.

I've been trying for 6 months to find someone we can talk to but everything has lead to a dead end. Cold emails, LinkedIn connections, asking my contacts for help, even running an advertising campaign trying to reach people who work at Instagram - nothing I try even results in a response from Instagram or Facebook.

Can you help? Even if you know a friend of a friend who works at Instagram who might be able to connect us with someone it could be the lead we need to get our foot in the door, and could give us the opportunity we need to take our startup growth to the next level.
I am still a very active member of IH, read a lot of the posts and comment often. The thing that bothers me the most is that it is currently shifting from a group of people that are helping out each other to a place for people to share their (success) stories. Don't get me wrong there is currently plenty of both but it's shifting towards a more egocentric vibe.

Someone created a popular thread a while ago (3th most popular post of all time) discussing this precise thing [0]. People with posts asking for help, or just starting out (often not the most exciting content) would get lost in the noise and disappear, I often scroll down the 'new' tab a bit to catch those 0 comments posts but sometimes I am just not in a position to answer these, often due to inexperience/lack of expertise on the subject.

I don't know what the solution for this problem would be, to be honest I don't even really know what is causing the problem, an excess of 'wantrepreneurs', a problem with the audience or if the more successful IH-ers got tired of summing up the ways to monetize your side project, I don't know if a very strict 'FAQ - READ THIS BEFORE POSTING' is going to solve this or if it just needs more of a personal community feel but I do think the quality of IH as a forum is degrading by the month and that I am sad to see it do so.
Fortunately there are currently plenty of gold nuggets to find between the plethora of posts that sometimes seem to resemble what is in my Medium feed.

I’m not trolling, I just saw the drug mentioned here and decided to talk about my experience. I was a healthy guy in my twenties, and my sex drive went from high to non-existent while I was on the drug. Like I said, I can’t be sure Propecia was to blame, but personally I believe there was a connection.

Anyway, if you take Propecia and don’t get side effects, that’s great! Nobody said all men will get side effects and nobody’s questioning your virility.
Al Gore invented the internet as part of that government.
The Zenbook is a decent looking computer, and this completely cheapens the look of it. The trackpad display is trash - it's a low-contrast LCD with bad backlight bleed and aggressive matte finish... something out of the parts bin of cheap phones and old car infotainment systems. When compared to the higher quality main display it looks totally out of place.

If they fixed that, there'd still be the issue of usability & utility. This doesn't seem like a complementary feature, it seems like two separate devices bolted together that require heavy context shifting (e.g. if the music card is up, you can't just use the trackpad to access something else on your computer). As implemented it seems like yet another electronics company gimmick like 3d TVs - made because its easy to build, not because the feature offers enough utility to justify its complexity.

That said, I hold out hope for a lay-flat dual-display clamshell with proper haptics and that re-thinks the entire input UI around that paradigm.

The most stressful thing about starting my next job is that I've got to choose a new laptop only for work. I've only used a Mac for years and this is the first time I've ever considered switching because there are no computers they make that I actually want.

Apple has really dropped the ball on their entire line and the touchbar eliminating a lot of useful keys is a pretty bad idea compared to replacing the touchpad.
> I would argue that labor is only as free as the social net for unemployed is strong.

You're arguing that labor is only free so long as it can hold a gun to someone else's head (the evil 10%) and force them to support said labor via welfare by taking the fruits of the labor that the 10% produce. As though one has an inherent right to someone else's very life and property (if you did, you wouldn't need a gun to steal that property). Communism, because it has worked out so well over the last century.

It's a contradiction. You're actually saying some people get to be 'free' using coercion and overt threats of force, by enslaving other people to fulfill their needs via welfare transfers based on the taxation of other better off persons income.

The system of welfare transfers, much less actual Socialism, requires extreme force to be applied at all times to keep the system functioning, as such there can be no freedom at all - there's always a gun pointed at your head.
