StartupSchool Application Closed 24-Hours Early?
Hello, I'm advising a couple companies who were planning to apply today (the 13th).

They understood the deadline was on the 13th. ie. Meaning applications closed 23:59 PST on August 13th. Not that applications closed 0:00:01 on August 13th.

This tweet from StartupSchool account also says "You can still sign up for Startup School through Aug 13!" Which sounds like the 13th is still OK to apply on.

Can anyone comment on this?
I cannot upvote these comments enough. I truly dislike the taste of ripe bananas. Sweet yuck. I muchly prefer one that is a bit too green to being a bit too ripe.
I think it's also the reason for all the conspiracy theories that are increasingly running rampant.

No matter what you believe, there's someone out there saying it's a lie or it's true, there's no absolute truths anymore; anything is real.

As a consequence of that, now that no-one knows what to believe, people are starting to trust personalities like Alex Jones simply because they're appealing or entertaining to listen to.

News is just content now. What you believe isn't the truth, it's identity, your tribe, your personality. It doesn't matter if it's true, it just matters that it's in line with the belief of your tribe.
Me too, but it was mostly to teach myself about OpenSSL, and I feel like the experience have scarred me for life.

I mostly used the Ruby C-bindings, and I feel like finding information and documentation was very difficult, and it was even harder to figure out if there was any best practices I was missing.

It baffles me that so important infrastructure is built upon something that feels this brittle, and it keeps me up at night :-)

So far we know that CBT will work for about 50% - 60% of the people who try it.

We know that as a treatment for depression it's hard to tell the difference between doing exercise or doing nothing.

So, yes, if you think about it in the correct evidence based way you're more likely to treat depression than if you exercise.
There's a line in "The American Dream" in the musical Miss Saigon that goes "Schlitz down the drain / POP / The Champagne" which always amused me - even the lowly Engineer who idolises America knows that it's not a great drink to be serving in his dream "Club thats 4 star"

These countries seem homogeneous. Can you give any such example for a Cosmopolitan country?
Good point. Also learning about gender bias might also then translate to quicker understanding in terms of other biases, like biases the apu8812 is pointing out. People who tend to move towards a progressive attitude in one aspect (like sexism) tend to then adopt more progressive attitude in other social attitudes it seems.

Ask HN: I lost interest, what should I do?
I have started a startup and worked very hard to make it successful until it got funded recently but as soon as partners came in the pressure increased 100 times and all of a sudden I am doing job in my own company. I have lost all the interest in work as well as company. I am very depressed and started drinking everyday just to sleep without feeling worst and directionless. I stopped going to office leading me to question my existence and having suicidal thoughts. please help me find a purpose in life.

Can’t speak for China, but in Russia the greatest level of popular political activity in recent times was during the peak of the economic prosperity for the average Russian - circa 2012-2013.

People were actually driving around Moscow with stickers and banners calling the main political party out for corruption and theft of state property/funds.

Then came the sanctions and 50% plunge in value of the currency. Incomes remained nominally the same for most people or were even cut with the pretext of having to deal with economic crisis/sanctions.

The end result was that most people got scared for their livelihood and just went quiet. When you are afraid for your next paycheck and are no longer sure of the future, political dissent becomes a luxury that’s hard to afford.

Leaving the markets and applying economic blockades just makes the situation worse for the people and strengthens the regimes because these are the only beacons of stability they have.
I know you mean well, but this is not good advice. The benefits of exercise are so vast and varied, and study after study has confirmed not only the physical benefits, but the mental benefits as well. To compare it to listening to music or some other "engaging pursuits" is just completely wrong.

Is it hard to start exercising? Sure. I imagine it's hard to do a lot of things initially, especially when someone is depressed. To steer folks away from doing something that could really help in a very significant way is a huge disservice.
I'm sure Caesars Palace is far less concerned about driving a few people to Airbnb than the lawsuits/fallout from another mass casualty incident. It's in their best interest to be overly careful here, even if it does strike us as invasive and paranoid.
Can't agree more, exercise and mindfulness are very effective.

I don't think they'll fix whatever underlying cause may be there, but they may help to put you in a position where you can.
My brother has (I think jokingly) suggested that the dark energy expansion of the universe is an indication of such pollution.
All the evidence we have tells us that people exercise because their illness has reduced.

We know that exercise has minimal benefits as a treatment for depression.

We should be pushing people towards evidence based treatments, not suggesting they spend considerabe effort doing something that probably won't work, and will increase their negative feelings when they fail.

Ever since I played the awesome old RPG called Planet's Edge [0] and the better-known Star Control II, I've been taken to muse about cosmic coincidences.

Popular sci-fi like Star Wars or Star Trek etc. don't really touch on those possibilities in a convincing way.

As in, very few fiction truly conveys the ..indifference.. of the universe, and all the actors in it going about their own businesses and interacting only incidentally, even if to monumental consequences to each other, but without a lot of conscious intent or an overarching plan.

Kind of like how most of Earth's history has played out, even if it may all seem interconnected and purposeful due to the much more relatable scales involved.

I think my code has improved quite a lot since I've been thinking empathically about current and future colleagues. If you keep in mind that this code will be read by other people, and if you really want them not to have a terrible time decyphering it, you start being more careful with naming, structure and syntax.

So yes, social empathy is important to craft great code.

My parents also live in Russia, but I would prefer setting up a VPN for them over their having to live behind a great information curtain any day. Also after the invasion of Ukraine, indiscriminate bombing of Syria, etc etc, I would personally find myself unable not to implement all kinds of horrible sanctions against the regime, cheese included. Otherwise it would just smack of appeasement policy.

I believe these sort of games are made by people and for people that dont want or cannot do a thing for real but would love to try it out with a pause and/or fast forward button. Look at all the simulator games coming out from germany and other places. There are skyscraper builder simulator, busdriver, lots of farming, fire fighter and so on. Not to mention the flight simulator genre that is even used by pilots to practice. Coding simulators are more aimed at teaching you concepts and get you started thinking the right way.
>Local laws in East Berlin sanctioned the murder of Germans who sought to escape.

The local laws in East Berlin sactions up to 8 years of prison when trying to escape.

Of course, most of the guards at the wall had order to shoot on sight, the number of traps and deadly traps didn't help people survive getting spotted.

The order to shoot on sight (Order 101) actually ran contrary to standing east german law, it was actually illegal (not that the regime actually cared)
In this context, Godwin's law is nothing more than a thought-terminating-cliché. These comparisons are not gratuitous: Nazism and the alt-right are both populism, using similar rhetoric to seize power. The apparent apathy in the population is extremely similar.

Many people grew up wondering how Nazi Germany could appear out of nowhere. We are seeing right now the institutions and power balances being eroded in western democracies. This article is about India, but perfectly captures the political, psychological, moral dynamics at play. These are not operating in a vacuum, and while the context is not exactly the same, those dynamics are absolutely similar and should be compared.

True, I was originally going to name it `gender_flipper`, but someone made the same point, so I called it `gender_bender`.

This way, the name will still make sense if the ability to go from gendered pronouns to genderless pronouns ("singular they" or "ze") is added. PRs are welcome!

For now, I just put "Flip gender" in the title of this HN post to more accurately reflect what the package does today.

Another type of gorilla eats more/mostly leafs.

Still gorilla eat HCLF. I'm not saying eat only leafs. I'm saying other primates eat fruit-leaves-bugs mostly (yes some chimps hunt, but given enough fruit they are not so much compelled to). And we have a quite similar GI tract. Not the same, but much more similar than comparing to cats or cows.

We are not made for processed food. We are made for HCLF. We are quite similar to other primates GI-tract wise. What do you not agree with?

But popular music these days IS mostly crap.
I read an interesting article recently related to this, which posted the following problem: that in recent times, moralism has become hijacked by the financial elite.

For instance, to protect our environment you should eat local and organic food, which unfortunately tends to be more expensive than its mass produced alternatives.
When you earn enough, you can live the 'right' way and telll all your friends; people who have to save money and buy cheaper mass produced foods are 'worse' not just because they are poor, but because they live their lifes the 'wrong' way.

When you have a good job and live in a good neighbourhood, you might welcome immigrants and want to give them a new home in your country so they can escape all the sufferings from where they are coming from. But when you are poor, you might also have worries that those immigrants compete with you in your job or might overwhelm your neighbourhood. But again, morally this worry is 'wrong'; until recently, bringing this out in the open would make you a racist or worse.

So lower classes see themselves pushed in a corner where they are not only the losers in a financial way, but more than that, they are 'bad' people because they dare to have second thoughts about all those morally right choices above.
As a result, there is a growing movement to let go of morals altogether, which is the cretinism from the article.

Agreed, you can tackle one problem at a time. And I think progress on one might spread over to the other also.

?> and study after study has confirmed not only the physical benefits, but the mental benefits as well.

No they have not. Well run meta analysis fail to find any benefit of exercise as a treatment for depression.

https://www.cochrane.org/CD004366/DEPRESSN_exercise-for-depr...

All these studies fail to account for the relapsing / remitting nature of depression in many people; they don't establish any causal link (are people better because they exercise, or are they exercising because they're better?), the blinding is lousy, the controls are lousy, etc etc.

As soon as you run a well controlled properly blinded study you find very little effect for exercise as a treatment for depression.

They have replaced a pure mechanical linkage with a motor in each valve.

While I like the idea of controlling the timing of each valve interdependently for the other, I am not for the additional electronics in the engine.

Not listening to music—playing music. That is, playing an instrument, composition, or musical dev of sorts.

What I am saying is that the exercising community is somewhat patronising imho. For me, having been very fit from a young age becomes a burden when it is difficult to keep up form later. I think this sentiment may be unclear for people who start exercising seriously later in life rather than early.

I am not downplaying running. Running is perhaps what people evolved to do, and I concede that point happily. For many people, however, running is not an option or is not the first step towards a better mind space.

This has been evidently true since they didn't leave Europe after Right to Be Forgotten. They make good revenue in Europe which justifies having to censor results.

Eating some "nuts, meat" does not make it HFLC. Do you know what consitutes HCLF? Well name me one type of primate that does not eat HCLF in the wild and you may correct me. But so far you have not.

> No offense cies but your posts here reek of soccer-mom-esque health blog level of basic research and espousing of ideas as facts.

No offense taken. We're just discussing here. Please provide evidence for your claim there is a not-HCLF (thus HFLC) type of ape in some location. I will fix my beliefs with proper evidence (I just could not find it).
"Sin taxes" misses most of the problem of the availability in the first place.

In lax states I end up paying half (i.e. $25 for a $50 bottle).

That substantial difference is not taxes alone. I'd guess 15% is due to blocking private stores from entering the market.

So I would rather pay higher taxes if my total cost for liquor goes down, if that makes any sense.
Man, fuck war. I really wonder how much longer the majority of humans are going to keep swallowing the lines of bullshit from the few that somehow, war is a necessity. War is not all that hard to avoid, but I guess warfare is both financially and politically profitable.

Political censorship that is supposed to keep current rulers in power by shielding them from criticism is categorically different from all other types of censorship.

The difference is not gradual as you suggest, because political censorship works on a meta-level. It obstructs the democratic mechanism by which all other types of censorship can be debated and ultimately lifted.

Opposing political censorship is not just another political viewpoint. It is a prerequisite to freely discussing and changing political viewpoints in the first place.
