Let's walk through this: People who are insomniacs are more likely to get less sleep. Could this same group also more likely to take anticholinergic sleep drugs (diphenhydramine)? There is a good link starting to be established between those drugs and dementias of all types. See https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar..., or a bloggy summary if you're so inclined: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/common-anticholinergic-d...

The link is alarming enough you should think seriously before taking things like Zzzquil, Benadryl, Tylenol PM, etc. if you value your mental faculties.. But maybe the correlation in this article is at least partially explained by this other link. Personally the other theories (brain garbage collection during sleep, etc.) also make a lot of sense. And don't forget about the fungal theory: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24614898
Huh? It's under $2k for a daily drivable config. $1600 if you are willing to do a 2.1 rev chip without HW speculative execution mitigations and some other errata.
Yes, I project my own issues frequently because I've explained my art to psychologists, counselors and therapists to the point that I realised all my art was doing was trying to explain my feelings to people around me about my mental illness everyone else thought I had with them lacking the awareness of realizing how their active involvement in all of that affected me mentally. I just assumed they understood and still cared about me, which they do.

Now (just kidding, I have always done this) I take my dumb dumb issues out on the internet at strangers based on the salience of their perspectives which seems to be diametrically opposite to the conclusions I've come to, clearly this is a selection bias in information and I'm making too many assumptions about you.

The last piece of art I made was a picture of a body that was supposed to be me understanding myself. Clearly this has been challenging for me as I find myself completely unable to create new art, besides code, which requires me to think clearly and logically and simply about everything.

Not to mention the consequences of how understanding myself may affect others. Having empathy for the feelings of those around you is really hard when you have to think about yourself first.

Obviously I am terrible at doing this on the internet because I don't know who I'm talking to. We all project our issues through our personal experiences and beliefs we hold onto. Sometimes that changes my mind, sometimes it changes yours. Art, everything, yay, the world is still boring because I am a boring person with no magic or mystery in my life, sparse connections that bind me to individuals through concrete understandings.

I don't need to RTFA. There don't have to be rules on the internet. If I need to RTFA you need to read everything that came before the article that created the article. But you don't, because you are replying to the article, and the author may be here, but you wouldn't be aware of that, so you operate on the assumption that you don't have to read everything that led up to the article, just the article itself, perpetuating dogmatic ideologies that secure your world view.

That's insulting to me, so sorry! I have opinions on stuff sometimes!

Some people have talent and aren't as lucky as you. Don't squash them like bugs just because its disruptive. Maybe you need therapy.

Wyatt Cenac has a good piece on culture clash.
Agreed; none of this even passes the smell test to me, it seems absurd to bundle this level of functionality and not have a big warning on the can: "You are not really in control of your machine, at all."

I wouldn't have purchased my last Intel chip with better knowledge of this junk side-loaded, full-access, completely-opaque OS, made by a company incredibly thick with our mates in the 5 Eyes etc.
What was the original saying?
My thesis is more like "You can't reasonably assume he is merely a malicious ass hat given the crap going on in the US today and the lack of certain details in the article."

I'm not saying such people don't exist. I'm just saying that when the system actively makes it hard enough to survive while doing things the world would approve of, don't be all shocked when some folks stop caring about the world's approval and start caring more about their bottom line.

If today was your last day, what would you tell your loved ones?
All due respect, but it's hubris to conflate an affection for the urban lifestyle with being "high on the 'openness to experience' spectrum". There was even a story on HN just in the last few days exploring the biases in the research used to support that notion.

As to the high correlation between population density and political affiliation, I don't see that as being particularly mysterious, even if it is a complex topic. And having recently hosted a fundraiser for a prominent progressive candidate I can attest that fear is being effectively employed across the entire electorate.
A really bad combination. I had more success with Asus machines than these xps. Few of the issues that you notice after regular use:

The fingerprint reader is not supported on Linux.

GPU is worse off than windows. Nvidia has horrible support, there is no auto mode to dynamically switch

Keyboard typing is laggy

Touchpad does not support Palm detection for accidental swiping while typing

Overall not satisfied with Linux on xps for such a premium price

>There is no law or ethical principle that a city has to make housing available to all comers at the price they want.

That's essentially what's being litigated in this debate. YIMBYism argues that there is such an ethical principal: society ought to be inclusive, the playing field ought to be level, haves ought not to have too much power over have-nots, etc. We contend that they apply just as much to urban land use as to healthcare, immigration, and tax policy.

Modern zoning is a deployment of state power to help reinforce and grow the asset values of a small group who were in the right place at the right time, valuing their aesthetic enjoyment above others' ability to make a living. Maybe we don't have a positive obligation to create an unlimited amount of affordable housing, but we at least have the obligation not to use the power of the state this way.
It's probably for the best, for now at least. At these very gradual population decline rates we don't have to worry about humans going extinct for a long time, and in the meantime we'll take pressure off a lot of critically overexploited resources.

This seems short sighted, and without you having a kid not sure your opinion is correct.
The TRT clinic I went to was a clear scam. When he realized my T was too high he tried to sell me on growth hormone peptides for $300 a month and B12 injections. Lots of pseudoscience. Also, he was a chiropractor. Not surprising since chiropractors aren't real doctors.
Ontario can't have a town like this because of weather.

You can get close, but it is expensive. You'll need pedestrian tunnels. Given that people won't be on the streets, you don't need to be concerned about traffic on the streets.
> Traditionally there are three political groups: conservatives, liberals and socialists.

That's not even approximately correct. There are a lot more groups than that, and those aren't even on the same conceptual level.

> "Far-left" falls under socialism, along with anarchism and communism.

Socialism is one of many leftist ideologies. Communism is, yes, a subset of socialism; OTOH, anarchism is not a subset of socialism (anarchism is a distinct ideology.)

> > The idea that ties them together is this concept of trying to fight against and eliminate some hierarchy in society. Often times, wealth inequality. There is no such thing in the US.

The first part is not horrendously inaccurate but not really useful correct, either.

I don't know if you are trying to say that the far left, socialism, anarchism, communism, social heirarchies, or wealth inequality doesn't exist in the US, but, in any case...no.

> Fascism falls under conservatism along with monarchism and any other traditionalist or reactionary political ideology.

Reactionary ideologies have the same relationship to conservatism as radical or far-left ideologies have to liberalism.

> Interesting to note that Republicanism is a liberal ideology, not a conservative one.

Small-r republicanism is an ideology that is neither inherently liberal nor conservative, though the most common modern form is liberal. Big-R Republicanism J's just attachment to an American political party that doesn't have a single clear ideology but covers a range of liberal to reactionary ideologies.

> Liberalism is a much more well defined ideology than the other two.

Socialism is, while still a fairly broad umbrella, both more specific and better defined than liberalism.

> Briefly speaking: "all men are created equal"

That doesn't actually differentiate it from socialism, nor is this really essential to liberalism (a belief that all men are created equal undergirds some liberalism, but isn't essential to liberalism; another basis is that equallegal treatment allows people to reach the different positions appropriate for different inherent worth.)

> (hence Republicanism)

Neither Republicanism nor republicanism is inherently attached to an egalitarian ideology.

DAPS Crypto to Replace PCI Compliant Code Used by Banks and Merchants
After working with OpenGL for many years and then moving to higher-level systems more recently (e.g. three.js), I found a useful way of viewing the 'essence' of the API: moving data around. It's not so much a '3D graphics API' as it is a wrapper for interacting with a a GPU.

(A notable exception is shader code, which is largely doing custom geometric or pixel transformations. But the rest of it is pretty much an API for moving blocks of data in and out of the GPU.)

I think this is important to know, because the common perception is that OpenGL, as an API for creating 3D graphics, would give you primitives for talking about 3D objects/spaces—which for the most part it doesn't, aside from essentially utility classes (e.g. vectors/matrices for working with 3D spaces). In consideration of that, it's a pretty awful experience if you're interested in describing 3D scenes, as opposed to developing new rendering techniques or optimizing old ones or whatever.

So instead, it's an API well-suited to building actual 3D graphics APIs on top—scene graphs, game engines, etc. My understanding is that Vulkan/Metal take this to a further extreme, and I see it commonly mentioned in that context—but it's true of OpenGL too!

It should be more common to warn beginners: learn OpenGL so that you can understand the underpinnings of some other system you will eventually use to describe 3D graphics—but this isn't the endpoint, don't build all your games or whatever directly on OpenGL. You will have so much more fun with a good scene graph.

Calamity prediction may be right in estimating odds, despite being wrong in outcome. Wearing a seatbelt is still wise, despite never having crashed a car.

Yeah, I agree with you that the depth of interactions are the same.

It was just an unkind jab at the fact that the examples given of exposure to different people and cultures were helping someone cross the road and giving up a seat on the subway. That jibed with my experience living in NYC - it's not particularly conducive to expanding your horizons; the diversity is there if you really want to go out and meet people, but mostly it will be courteous distance on the street and most of your deep interactions will be within your filter bubble, same as anywhere.

Unlike my current town, NYC has mosques, but I didn't actually learn anything about Islam or Muslims living there, compared to when I actually lived in the Middle East and made friends for life there. I ate at Chinese restaurants and shopped in Chinatown but wouldn't say I gained any cultural insights. But living in Singapore for a year and making friends with Singaporeans, Indonesians, and Chinese people - there I learned a lot.
The irony, of course, is that both of them (and Amazon as well) are simple, easy ways for content to be pirated. Pirates have broken the DRM of all three sufficiently that the original bitstream from each source can be muxed into a mkv and shared - it doesn't even need to be reencoded.
Not to take anything away from this, it's great that such a tool is available, but Microsoft had this kind of technology 20 years ago, known as BBT - still used in some places, but overall systems moved to profile guided optimizations done by Visual C++ (an overall improvement over BBT). It is mostly focused on doing block/function placement optimizations to reduce paging and separate hot/cold code. Some info here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/reiley/2011/08/06/microsoft....

Ubuntu 18.04 is pretty buggy on my Thinkpad P50, too (graphics problems, trackpad issues, poor battery life, no backlight adjustment, etc). And Gnome is just ridiculously slow compared to Windows and macOS. I’m still not sure there is a Linux laptop out there that just works.
Sorry, I missed that part of the comment you responded to, and how it implies knowledge of big cities only via what they read and not personal experience. In that light your comment wasn't a non sequitur and was a fair response.

Hacker News is interesting when actual experts decide to take part in the conversation. (Otherwise, it's no better than other places.)

> Its not like technological solutions to fraudulence are un-intersting, or?

What you're proposing, however, isn't a technological solution, at least not primarily. It's a solution based in modified human behavior.

A technological solution would be something closer to requiring full-time multi-camera video surveillance of each ride (as was recently on HN with the driver in Missouri live streaming to Twitch). Of course, it would raise all sorts of issues.
That is unfortunate to hear :/

I was seriously considering ditching MacOS on my next laptop and pick up a thinkpad carbon x1 with Ubuntu 18.04. Really hoping this improves.
I think you may be confusing synapses and neurons.
Maybe because not enough engineers have lawyer friends that understand technology well enough to listen to us complain about all this dumb shit we have to deal with. We all need to make more lawyer friends.
That's what I am telling people all the time. The "economy" is not a natural law but it's completely man made and can be adjusted to whatever goals a society wants to achieve. Obviously there are some constraints but there are a lot of parameters that can be tweaked. The owner class has convinced us that shareholders and property rights are the most important players but there is no reason why this can't be balanced with other things like workers rights, health care or retirement systems for all.

Why should a company hire someone who is potentially going to impact their own revenue? And in rarer cases, a side project that actually generates enough revenue to where the amount of money they are paying you is less than the share you are taking from their revenue.

Yes, that is what I meant [1]. For example, you can use ideas from differential equations/analysis to determine say, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for continuous ODEs. Pontryagin's Principle and the calculus of variations in general gives you theoretical machinery for working with models in analytic form. Some problems such as minimum time optimization are more tractable in continuous time form than in discrete time. You can also in some simple cases derive the set of closed-form optimal solution trajectories (unconstrained case) and analyze that directly.

Once the models are transformed into discrete form for numerical solution, the tools used lie more in the realm of linear algebra (positive definiteness of Hessians, etc.)

I think you tried to steer the discussion too much instead of justing let people read the text and reach their own conclusions. Which might be nothing like yours.

Now, as a result, the post is flagged and there is no discussion at all.
I think that the 18.04 release (being a Long-Term Support release) might have more conservative drivers than 17.10 has or 18.10 will have. So if you're on a laptop, you might get a better experience with one of the more "unstable" releases. At least this has been what I've observed for Dell XPS 15 support.
