At the moment, I'd think about a 360/3-axis simulator, so I could rotate it into any position gravity made my body the happiest.

It's fun to think which seatbelts would be more appropriate for a programmers chair, but, in this case, I'd think they'd be a hard requirement.
Traditional peer review can filter out complete crackpot garbage, but it empirically is not effective at improving paper quality. Just because it may have filtered out some wrong things you said does not mean it is effective at it in general.

Open, non-anonymous comments on preprint services hold much more promise. Peer review without anonymous gatekeepers.

Yes I'm at the crossroads but I want to be able to have a laptop to take as well and the new mac line up is just not for me. Thats great info that the Hackintosh computers are still kicking because I had mostly ruled that out after not hearing much about them over the past few years. Mind sharing your build? :D

I get paid well to solve hard problems. If my employer paid me a wage similar to what I'd earn working at Costco, I'd probably go work at Costco because the hours are better and it wouldn't be mentally taxing, and I'd program in my free time to keep intellectually stimulated.

But I do get paid well so I have nothing to complain about.
F-Droid is secure. IIRC there's never been any issue with malware on F-Droid, ever.
I only used manipulation in reference to psychology. And there I meant it quite literally. Most recently an internal memo at Facebook indicated something literally described as a "psychological trick" to get teen users to use the platform. It relied on actively micro-targeting and misleading teens. Real classy stuff.

The word I used for general market targeting was exploitation. And no, in general the mere presence of stores is not exploiting individuals. However, if I see there is a large alcoholics anonymous group at a location and decide to build a liquor store right there because of that, this would certainly be exploiting individuals. But we need not just stick with moral platitudes. The issue is not the morality, in my opinion, but the active targeting of individuals.

Want to advertise deals on nails beside a hammer display? Sure, makes sense. Want to try to turn as large of swaths of the internet as possible into data collection nodes to try to siphon off each and every detail of individuals, trade these details among companies to build even greater profile collections, and then micro-target as finely as possible while appealing to everything you know your profile indicates drives this individual's decisions? I consider this exploitative. I'd say everything is then a sliding scale in between, but we're already far enough to the extreme end that it's not especially far off to assign many of the major American tech companies to what should be the hyperbolic extreme end of that scale.

-------

EDIT: Coincidentally enough, somebody just shared this [1] link. It's extremely related to this very line of discussion. Though again it relies on moral platitudes in that targeting children is somehow the heinous act. No, that may be particularly heinous but the fundamental problem is the way they actively target everybody. This is a quite demented industry we've created.

To you. But it is a big deal some someone else. Your task is to figure out who, and why. (why tends to be obvious once you realize who)
What they don’t tell you about event sourcing
That's science baby!
They already do. How does anyone here think they verify things? They already have all the information. It's absolute idiocy and stubbornness that causes people to think that they shouldn't be able to do that.

>smartphones are also very popular and start around $20, computers around $50

I can't even get a used laptop for $50 in my place.

>Why do you think the same might not be true in Africa?

I can't speak for the whole of Africa. However I know two personally (Nigeria and Ghana). And a few others by acquaintances - togo, Benin...

First reason: Earning power, salaries have remained relatively static for at least 10 years but the local currencies have depreciated at least 4 times within the same period.

Second reason: Production. Computers and smartphones are produced in China and India. All components needed for these devices are available within the continent. Thus, the price would be dirt cheap there.

To put the first point in context. I'm using a 5 year old HP Envy without touch screen. I bought it for N130,000 then. The equivalent of the same laptop should cost less right? Nope. It costs N250,000+ right now.

Same thing in Ghana. 8 years ago, 1 cedi = 1usd. Now 1 cedi = 4.85 cedi. Salary for a government secondary school teacher was 800 cedi then. It's 800 cedi now.

>But they're certainly complimenting each other rather than cannibalizing.
Maybe in Asia. People who grow up using Macs find it difficult to use Windows right?

It's easy for people who grew up with PCs to use smart phones. But the reverse isn't the case. I know many people who grew up with phones but now have laptops - it's easy to spot them - they use abbreviations excessively on chat.

All they use their laptops for are movies and the occasional Microsoft word. Everything else - even gaming is done on their phones or tablets.

I hope this partly answers your question.
> This is absolutely false as a matter of historical fact;

No, it isn't.

> the theory always follows a period of trial-and-error

That is true.

> in which you learn how to hit the target by raw experimentation.

No, that is not true. In order to hit the target you have to extrapolate the results of your raw experimentation somehow, because you can never completely reproduce the circumstances of any experiment. If you try to do that extrapolation using induction, you will succeed with odds no greater than chance.

> Any reason I should do this?

Because if you're going to dispute someone's position, you really ought to first inform yourself what that position actually is rather than argue against a straw man.
I do not make any value judgement here about other people. I do not want money taken away from people without they explicitly agreeing to it (even though disagreement might mean jail).
It's very expensive for a 4 seater.

The current most popular 4-seater, the Cirrus SR22 goes for about $600k-750k new depending on options.

Even the turbine-power Lancair Evolution comes in right around $1M, and that's for a fully certified-factory built aircraft.

The aircraft in the OP is an expirimental (e.g. you can't make money using it) aircraft and the quoted price did not include hundreds or thousands of hours of labor.

"Why did Kelly's parents not just..."

Remember there is a selection process that led to this story. It is an extreme, not the norm. It is likely that Kelly had a mental illness of one sort or another, as evidenced by the fact she was committed for a time. If not that, then there is some other reason this is an exceptionally extreme story.

Statistically speaking, you are unlikely to end up with that. (Not that that stopped me from coming up with some pretty bad genetic hands with my children. But it was still stastically unlikely....)

There are ways in which it is easy and people make it hard, but there are ways in which it is legitimately hard, too. My oldest is 10 and has made only the first initial noises about getting his own phone, but I won't be able to defer the matter forever. But I will say the current plan is to wait until he shows some understanding of what forces are arrayed against him before he gets anything of his own. To some extent, I suspect the average youngster is going to have to get stung a few times before they really get it, partially because I did myself. But to be stung "properly", you need to understand what is going on and why you were stung, not just be sitting there looking at your empty bank account one day wondering where all the money went, when the answer is "gems for some mobile game", and then doing it all again next week.
A lot of these people also argue against withholding for this reason. If people had to write a check every year (or every quarter, month, whatever) then, the argument goes, people would be outraged at how much they pay and there would be enormous pressure on Congress to cut taxes.
Ask yourself: whom would you trust more? A physical person in front of you, who's whole life depends on her business or a company which is legally set-up to maximize profit?
I am not agreeing with it just stating the fact.

I agree with you. The government spending needs to be drastically reduced.

> People currently had any idea what they were spending on taxes.

This is precisely the opposition to IRS doing your taxes for you. Imagine you receive a bill every month that shows the clearly what all these payments are and you have to write separate checks.
I think the sentimentality of family needs to be removed from discussions of war. I’m sure there were plenty of devout family men taking part in every mass genocide in history. Violence sucks — full stop, especially controversial violence that half the nation was against from the beginning.

Sad that this woman lost her husband, and son lost his father. She clearly loves him too much to question his judgement, but maybe she could speak from the podium of loss against unnecessary war. I’m not a fan of sentimental personal anecdotes being shared to a mass audience like this, but alas emotions rule the world. Hopefully we can fight the politics that led to this tragedy rather than lionizing his martyrdom.
They really don't have even close to all the data. The irs will generally have income numbers, as those generally must be reported through 1099k, 1099, and w2, etc. But they have no information on your expenses, depreciation, etc.

So they only know your revenues, not your expenses. And this applies for business as well as personal.

That's always been the case and is always mentioned in marketing materials. You just can't buy it. It's mostly for certification purposes, which is also largely pointless. The X1 got certified by both RH and canonical despite the inability to suspend/resume.
> while others benefit from it

I get satisfaction from other people benefiting from my work. Why would I want to perform work that benefits no one or only myself? Seems selfish.

I assume you meant to imply that I'm being taken advantage of in some way by my employer but that is not the case. I enjoy managing computers and programming. I don't enjoy running a business, selling things to people, dealing with insurance companies directly, or many of the other things that I don't have to do because my employer does them.

Often times there are other people that enjoy those activities doing them. It's a symbiotic relationship, or at least it should be in an ideal world. It's possible for everyone to benefit even if some people benefit more financially than others.
A similar one I enjoy: you're driving two miles. After one mile, you've averaged 30MPH. How fast do you need to drive the second mile to have a trip average of 60MPH?

Answer: impossible. You'd have to travel the second mile at infinite speed to achieve this.
That's assuming you had all the money at the beginning of the year.
> So how is it that lobbying alone is enough to persuade lawmakers to take the side of Intuit et al.?

The lobbying is a big part, but the other part is anti-tax ideologues in Congress want to keep the tax process as painful as possible so that people are as angry as possible about taxes, to maximize support for and engagement on anti-tax policies.
I have a ThinkPad X1 carbon and it's crap. At least running Ubuntu on it is garbage. Battery life is terrible, sometimes the screen flickers which I suspect is video driver, suspend doesn't work and locks up the machine. Had to return 2 of them due to hardware issues when we ordered one for everyone on my team. I like the portable form factor, display, keyboard. But stability/usability has not been the best experience. Which is strange because the thinkpad are often well behaved when running Linux.

I tried different things to make it work, it was never worth it. Just get a desktop PC and login remotely, or use some cloud ML. Sanity restored.
I fail to see how this is an argument against making this an option, though.
Thanks! The potato example really didn't click for me but this one I can understand.
Literally has never really been used in the actual definition. Writers have used to it show how important and foundational some event was. Or just to create some excitement in the readers.
When Trump came out claiming that millions of illegal voters had voted there should have been a huge alarm and everybody should have worked on making sure there are no doubts. Instead it seems the partisans are perfectly fine with a lot of citizens not trusting the election system.

This is a really dangerous game. Once people don't trust elections or the judiciary democracy is in grave danger.
This is sad. If any money from FB has been spent correcting this misperception it would be nice to know.
Scooter Startups Roll into Trouble
I've begun to appreciate peer review as gatekeeper as well. Another common situation for me is more or less arguing over a certain method/experimental design. If a colleague thinks a method is garbage, all I have to say is "yes, it's not optimal, but we published in <American Chemical Society journal> using it."

It effectively ends the discussion, because ACS doesn't publish nonsense and everything is nitpicked to death. It may turn out to be garbage later on, but at the time it was sufficient.

For example, my parent’s Goldendoodle knocks (punches) a sliding glass door when she wants to be let in/out. No one taught her this

Dogs do what works. You have no idea the plethora of other things the dog tried before tapping the glass. Training, OTOH, involves "I would like the humans to open the door when I tap the glass. Using positive training, I shall..." The dog would have been just as content to bark if it got the door to open. Edison didn't train a light filament to glow without burning up, his assistants kept trying until they found a method that gave the results they desired.
"Also, would black holes not be considered "broken space" themselves?"

Even that is really an anthropomorphization. They don't "spread". They don't "damage" the space around them. They don't leave behind anything as they pass through space. They aren't having the effects that people imagine when they think about "pollution".

This may be the current assessment for mammals, but there is insufficient evidence about the endocrine effects on non-mammals. I know the original link and discussion is in relation to humans, but it's worth noting.

All animals with a nervous system have hormone-secreting structures, analogous to the endocrine system of mammals. Several studies have highlighted serious sub-lethal neurological impacts of glyphosate (not as a formulation) on agriculturally-important arthropods. I'm not aware of any conclusive research, but it seems reasonable to anticipate some of these effects may be related to endocrine signaling. Either way, the toxicity is clearly more severe for non-mammals, and their disease burden has direct and indirect costs to us.

You don't even need $500m to start a "real" bank.

The problem is that banking is a business for suckers. Banks only make money because, theoretically, they have low capital costs. But these days there are many, many entities flush with capital and eager to lend and they certainly don't care about actual cash flows or hard assets. In a world with 100B VC funds and SBICs and sovereign funds all desperate for any kind of real growth only suckers actually go to the bank for loans. And actually loaning real money to such people won't move the needle. This makes banking an inherently risky, and very boring commodity business. In the UK everybody's constantly asking why banks won't lend to anybody but real-estate developers and real-estate investors. What else are they supposed to do to pay their rent? Finance another kebab shop?

China, frankly, has done the right thing and fully embraced shadow banking. Having the economy held hostage by a bunch of golfers is insane. Extend the special privileges enjoyed by banks to a wide array of institutions and you will see capital find its way to the best allocators. This isn't about deregulating banks. This is about recognizing there are wide array of lenders out there who are ready to invest. Bring the shadow banks in from the cold.
> NGOs and government don't care either.

This is not strictly true - if you are trying to emigrate, some visa types may be easier with a published paper (see: HSP visa for Japan).
Your worry seems misplaced. Addiction is usually co-incident with some other kind of pathology. In your case, it sounds like your home life was falling apart around you and coupled with a teenager's fairly normal apathy towards school, you just checked out completely, were probably depressed, and began using Starcraft as a coping mechanism.

I went through a really rough break-up in my twenties and got addicted to World of Warcraft. I also started drinking a lot. Once my heart got better, both of those habits went back to normal levels. I still do both in moderation to this day.

I guess maybe there are two lessons here: 1.)Treat the disease not the symptoms and 2.) Blizzard is evil.
Very unprobable. Diatoms are algae. They need two things: A substrate rich in nutrients and light. There is not reason for a diatom to deliberately settle inside an opaque bone. Moreover, any strange corpse in the bloodstream would end in the liver (and kidneys) so they would be free again and lost after the corpse decay.
I can't speak for all of HN, but my own opinion is that if the machines don't produce a voter-verifiable physical paper trail, they are insecure.
My parents resisted getting a TV for awhile when I was a kid. When we got one it was an old second-hand black-and-white (this was the 1970s). This TV sometimes broke for weeks at a time (my dad now admits that he removed the fuse). I remember my dad watching TV with me and deconstructing it mercilessly--I now understand he was teaching me media literacy.

Later on when we got a computer my folks would only get construction-set games (e.g. Pinball Construction Set) or simulations (Flight Simulator, M.U.L.E.). Later they expanded and got some strategy and role-playing games. If I wanted arcade games I had to use my own money or type them in myself from the magazines (printing game source code was a thing for a bit in the 1980s).

I recently discovered a book from the 1980s that my folks must have read, and which handles media literacy really well: "A kid's TV guide : a children's book about watching TV intelligently", by Joy Wilt. Yes, I'm just as annoying to my kid as my parents were to me.
