Because diversity goals are usually designed to to keep rich white men from dominating something. Also, by reframing it that way you get to examine whether you think affirmative action to achieve diversity is a good thing separate from whether you think it discriminated against Asians. Of course affirmative action discriminates; and it is going to feel unfair to some people.

”The landmark case that established a legal precedent for affirmative action in higher education was University of California v. Bakke in 1978. Allan Bakke, a white man, was in his mid-30s when he applied to 12 medical schools, including University of California Medical School at Davis. After all of these school rejected him, Bakke sued the school at Davis—which had rejected him twice—because he argued that the school had discriminated against him by admitting students of color with lower medical scores than his.

At the time, Davis’ medical school reserved 16 out of 100 spots in each year’s new class for students of color. In that case, the question posed to the court was whether the policy violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

But only one car per 14 people. I don't have the numbers for the US but I'd guess it's somewhere closer to one car per 2-3 people. Advances in public transport and ridesharing could lower demand for cars significantly. Sure, families and many others will still want to have cars but even if demand just decreases by 10-20% that's a huge number and could kill 1-2 car manufacturers.

The 99 tunnel blockage would have been resolved far faster if the machine had such high tech features as the reverse gear[1] which would have alleviated the need to spend 2 years digging a massive pit to get repair it when it ran into a steel pipe.

Now I know why you thought the parent's comments were emotional. The world would be a better place if we all tried to stop seeing personal attacks where they don't exist.

For the record, your disagreement could likely be bridged by removing absoluteness. You could likely agree that "some doctors sometimes treat symptoms, not causes". And we all agree that's a problem to be solved.
The history of the telegraph is entertaining. It was so good, investors thought Morse was just flim-flam man. Morse finally wised up, and devised a demonstration that could not be faked.

He set up a line between Washington and Baltimore, and transmitted the news from a convention in Baltimore. It arrived in Washington 64 minutes before the train bearing the news did, thus proving it worked.

Within 2 years, there was 2,000 miles strung, within 4 years, 12,000 miles. People had discovered they could make money by using the telegraph. People who received news faster made money.
He hasn't been doing that for ten years.

Maybe by being raised in a bi-lingual family where the parents did not speak each other's language when they met? This is how it is for me and my children: I speak English with my wife and Dutch with my children. She speaks Swedish with them, English with me. I have no problems speaking Swedish but things just ended up this way and it'd feel strange to speak Swedish to her. I often do speak Swedish to my children when there are Swedes around so they can understand as well but for the rest it is Dutch which counts. This has led to them speaking Swedish, Dutch and English at a young age (my youngest daughter is 6, she speaks Swedish and Dutch and is coming along quite well in English (as in 'speaking', she already understands most of what is being said). The younger a child learns a language, the easier it is for them so I can only see advantages in this approach. My oldest daughter now goes to a school with a 'French' profile so she'll end up speaking at least 4 languages, one of them (French) a romance language [1] for some contrast to the three Germanic languages (Swedish, Dutch and English).

In other words, speak your native language with your children, you'll be doing them a favour. Just make sure they learn the language of the land as well, preferably at home before they go to school.

I feel that there is some truth in your comment, but that the conclusion is completely wrong.

You're right that there are some incentives for therapists (or "fake therapists") not to help you, or at least not to help you enough. In fact, there's a big market of scams in this area. But a big part of the market is not there to scam you, either because of morals / good faith, or because of counterincentives (rating systems, social proof, building trust with the patients, recommendations, competition, etc.). You could also argue that many other businesses such as language schools have incentives to keep you around forever, and certainly many lengthen the process, but the system mostly works.

Almost the same can be said from psychiatrists: They certainly have some incentives for keeping you around forever or scamming you, but they also have the same counter-incentives. For example, psych meds are also widely prescribed in countries where healthcare is not as much money-based as in the US.

And additionally, there's ample easily-accessible scientific literature on antidepressants online done by both sponsored and non-sponsored scientists. SSRIs suck, and for a lot of people they do nothing useful or are even counterproductive, but there's actually nothing that is qualitatively better than SSRIs for most depressed/anxious people.

Finally, recommending inaction until you reach rock bottom (where there will supposedly be a surge in motivation that will make you fix your life) is very reckless advice. First, because at rock bottom a lot of people will be more motivated to suicide rather than take productive steps. Second, because many people will not actually reach rock bottom, but rather stay in sustainable misery indefinitely. Third, because while depression/anxiety have many environmental factors, they are not solely environmental, so for a lot of people even completely replacing the environment will not help much. Case in point: I went from living with my parents, to living on my own on a city 1h away and earning a living by myself. It certainly helped with life skills and confidence, but the core mental problem was still here.

I agree we need to move to a more continuous approach. We should constantly update a (digital) model of our understanding of a topic, and each (attempted) update should reevaluate against all existing cases.

Current papers are too fragmented, and primarily accumulate knowledge in those humans that actively participate in the field. By them reading the papers, evaluating and combining them. To transfer that knowledge to someone new is a process measuring in multiple years (ie a PhD). And when a person then ultimately exits their field, a lot of the accumulated understanding is lost.
Ask HN: Why are contrarian anecdotes so alluring?
Every single time there's a discussion on HN about how "X helps to achieve Y" someone will say, without fail, "I tried X and nothing happened", or "I tried X and all this terrible stuff happened".

They'll say this in response to a weak study. They'll say it in response to a large, well run, meta-analysis of other large well run studies.

I've probably done it.

Why is the contrarian anecdote so common? WHy do we feel the need to drop these into discussion?

Here's a recording of using GDB's TUI mode: https://s.mort.coffee/d/vid/gdb-tui-demo.mp4

Note that I'm not a GDB pro, I just recently started trying to use it more instead of printf, so there are probably lots of stuff I didn't show off. (For example, I wish I'd shown the `bt` command to print stack traces).

Another thing that's worth noting is that with GDB, if your program crashed and generated a coredump, you can use GDB to look at how everything was when it crashed, just like if you were debugging a running program. This is extremely useful on for example embedded systems where you don't have GDB installed, or when the crash is hard to reproduce.

From what I've heard from a relative of mine who works in the industry, there were also a few features requested for that machine which haven't been included in another boring machine of nearly that size, so very experimental. They also said that Hitachi Zosen ultimately won the bid because all the other competing companies bowed out because they considered it to be far too risky, and it seems that they were ultimately right in doing so.
I have not seen anything like it either. The idea at the bottom of the page was especially thought provoking for me:

>>Our problem is that we have too much data, too rapidly evolving—and we need ways of automatically eliminating less relevant subsets of that data, retaining only the most essential parts. Lucidity is an attempt to build one of these 'abstractoscopes.'

It is somewhat strange to me that we as programmers have tools to instrument our production systems with metrics, so that they can be monitored and their behaviour understood through visualizations, while at the same time, we use printf and debuggers that show mainly textual information while developing. It is said that a picture is worth more than a thousand words (which describe the same picture).

> So much for "implemented".

This comment reeks of middlebrow dismissal. The author implemented the GIL in pure Python for illustration purposes, as it says in the very first paragraph of the article, yet you complain it won't actually run. Where were you thinking of using a pure-Python GIL that this is such an inconvenience to you?

> Isn't the point of PyPy that it's written in a Python subset?

More dismissal. The point of PyPy is to be a JIT. What it's written in is incidental, not "the point".
Wow... it sounds like you were tested by the Gom Jabbar.
> Reading the headline I couldn’t help but think “But why?”.

Reading the article will clarify.
We're talking about pressing keys on a keyboard and the corresponding letters appearing on the screen, maybe even with spellchecking. This has been computationally achievable for decades. It's not something where you need a state-of-the-art PC in order to be able to experience it.
If you are debugging a program inserting printf or other debug prints in the code you are doing it wrong, for debugging you should use a debugger.

It's slow and inefficient, you add the debug print, then you need to recompile the program, maybe you need another debug print, recompile the program, and so on, and then you must remember to delete all the debug prints that you added! And let's hope that your debug print didn't add some strange side effect (they might have!).

With a modern debugger you could print everything you want, at every memory location, you could set watchpoints, isn't it better than printf ? Also where you printf on an embedded system...

Why would it be? If you can run fast in a small tunnel you can run just as fast in a big one. The size of a tunnel is a factor of what you want to do with it and what you want to run through it. TBM manufacturers can scale down to 3ft if that's what you need.
Is not "none of them" but "all the ones that reached certain knowledge level", after you know something, you avoid expanding or showing yourself.

The dark forest idea comes from Liu Cixin Three Body Problem trilogy, if you show yourself you risk being destroyed by even more powerful civilizations that are hidden in the dark. And they are hidden because are afraid that the same happens to them, with a third one or with the one they destroyed after they advanced enough.

sorry, but there are countless examples, where well known members of the community harassed non-members, because they said something negative about d.

but the only ones that are considered to be harassers, or subject to moderation, are the non-members.

In addition, there is no visibility into does the moderation, how long it might take, what would be filtered, and for what reason.

Therefore the forum's use of moderation is at best, suspicious, and can easily become a tool for abuse.

There should be a record of who filters what, when, and why.

And this should be made public also (although people should not be forced to subscribe to them).
