I have these problems. I've learned to "act normal" through decades of interactions with those around me. I have a wife and kids and a normal job. My oldest daughter acts just like me and I am actively teaching her how to "act normal". It isn't a big deal.

I have a similar hypothesis (which I don't believe, but still). Suppose there are no psychopaths. As is well known, people's choices of leaders are heavily influenced by biological biases such as height, social dominance and other "alpha male" traits. If there is no need to suspect malice, communities could suffer a runaway effect of increasingly biological selection of leadership, the same way it seems to happen in most herd/pack animals (where a smaller male basically can never become a leader, even though the correlation of size and intelligence is less than 1). But psychopaths can "supersignal" beyond even the most impressive neurotypicals. With some bad apples, we feel the need to check if signals correspond at all to the substance, and correct for personal behavior and long-term ability to deliver on promises.
Perhaps they did, but figured that on the balance, the profit will outweigh the penalty.
One thing the book Black Hole Blues (Janna Levin) brought home to me was the absurdity of actually getting this project done. Now that it's complete, it's easy to say that it was obviously a good idea. It's another thing entirely to bet huge budgets on something that doesn't seem very likely to succeed.
Seems rather like interacting with corporations. I trust them insofar as I trust reputational and legal mechanisms to provide them the incentive to keep their part of the bargain.
This seems like the hawks and doves Nash equilibrium in game theory: http://college.holycross.edu/faculty/kprestwi/behavior/ESS/H...

On one hand you want some doves because they work together well and society is nice, but on the other hand if there’s too doves then hawks will thrive. But if everyone is hawks, then society as a whole doesn’t work as well together. So there’s push and pull of both and in the end the natural equilibrium is mostly doves with some hawks. I suspect this is how it works for psycopaths in society.

Intel shipped to its customer Busicom the first 4004 chips in 1971. But because that year Busicom was in financial trouble they accepted that Intel could resell the chips to others in exchange of lower prices. Commercial success of the 4004 isn't present during the first few months and they didn't patented their chip yet. Then it got better.

I my town, I noticed dogs (that are usually freely wandering), are able to stop on red light and wait green light, not matter if humans are around. I guess this is because dogs are able to learn from those who are hit by cars.

By the way, police can now enter each other's countries more easily by now. Belgium and the Netherlands work together on integration through BENELUX, a politico-economical union between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. These days it serves as a testbed for integration policies in the EU at large. So recently we signed an agreement that allows our nations' police forces direct access to each other's police databases and to cross borders without having to get prior permission.

Thanks for sharing, I live a few km away from the spot and didn't hear. It's very fortunate that they managed to alert the lifeguard, because in most cases drowning is silent and discreet [1], unlike the movies. I wonder if either a patrolling drone or a onshore hi-res camera could use ML to recognize the signs of drowning and alert the lifeguard in case the person in distress is unable to do so, as usually happens.

The short of it is that the way most of us are taught to sit is not the "right way". The weight of your torso should not be supported by your lower back and you should not be slouching.

If you're sitting right, it should be very comfortable. The article suggests that your torso is supported by your hamstrings but I find that a good enough office chair should be designed so that you don't have to think about posture.

To know whether your office chair is good enough, see that you're not feeling uncomfortable after 1-2 hours of sitting.

For example. A few searches yields plenty of recent movies about large amounts of homeless. But more specifically, if you go to Amsterdam, Brussels or Paris by train you will have no trouble whatsoever finding lots of homeless people. Granted, Amsterdam has a few, Brussels a pretty sizeable lot and Paris has tens of thousands at least.

In each of those cities, by the way, homeless are persecuted by the local police, and nothing ever seems to make any difference. Knowing the inclination of Dutch people (protestant, or to put it more bluntly "it's their own fault, obviously"), I don't envy the Dutch ones.

And whilst the poor people in the Netherlands live in extremely shabby apartment blocks riddled with crime rather than trailer parks, other than that there is little difference : garbage everywhere. Many youth gangs that have no option but to turn to crime and prey on their own community. Immigrants being the large majority of those people.

Oh and if you talk to them you will immediately find out, especially in the Netherlands : if you actually use the social safety net, you have to submit to the government "running your life". That "help" the government provides seems to have more than a few people who abuse the power they have (to, for instance, take away child care, or any children, require you to undergo psychological internment or take away your unemployment insurance). There's no end of complaints about that, especially in the Netherlands (less, but certainly present in Brussels and less in Paris).

Brussels and paris have homeless tent cities (maybe Amsterdam has them too, I don't know. Not in the inner city it seems. Both brussels and Paris have them in the inner city.

So there seem to be plenty of ways to "fall through" the social safety net in Europe. And this is the situation in the richest, most prosperous parts of Europe. There can be little doubt that the situation in Romania, for example, is far worse.
Yeah the article has "...is now starting to test cars in Phoenix with no backup safety driver behind the wheel, something the Jacksons have experienced just once."
Redux solves the problem of managing state and state changes.

Aspergers is not associated with “not feeling fear.”

If you’re just assuming this from your experiences with these individuals, you’re just assuming this, and might do well to expand your considerations of what different people find fearful.

I’m sure you would find many of them fear people who jump to conclusions before thinking through the various possibilities; or the outcomes of hasty judgements.

And, I recommend you read about it.

Anecdotally, vitamin D has worked to eliminate or strongly moderate gout amongst a group of aquaintances. Definitely worth a try if you suffer from this.
You're right, of course. I mostly complain because it feels cathartic to rant, but I am well aware that it's probably the same in the private sector, the government, etc. That's just human structures I guess.

As for designing a better system that's more robust to these flaws, it is a hard problem. There are structural issues when trying to apply traditional scientific virtues to the real world (how do you reasonably ensure reproducibility with a ridiculously expensive experiment, or one spannig decades, or one involving cohorts of tens of thousands of people? How do you ensure peer review is honest and comprehensive when there are exactly three labs specialized in a subject, and they're all competitors? Or even collaborators?), even if you assumed that editorial bias (toward big names, against negative results, toward trendy subjects, etc.), dishonesty and nepotism didn't exist. Plus there's a wide system of power-wielding stakeholders with huge incentives to maintain the status quo: established big shots, publishers (cough cough Elsevier cough cough), and so on.

So yeah, things are broken but we're all trudging along trying to enjoy what we do and make do with what we have. Who knows, things may even get fixed one day.
> I have no comprehenion of why people enjoy opioids. We also can’t get addicted to things because of the way our brain works. There are psychopaths that use drugs, but you can cut them off cold turkey and they will not have any withdrawal.

This is the first time I've seen it explained by someone else but it's how I feel all the time. Makes me wonder...
> The most successful transformations I have experienced—the ones where you walk into the office and there is a tangible difference in the energy and interactions between people, where the commercial and management stakeholders are as excited and invested as the technology stakeholders, where everyone agrees on the metrics that matter and those metrics are trending in the right direction(...). And they do all this without recourse to canned methods or certification Ponzi schemes. (...) My argument isn’t that packaged scaling methods are unhelpful per se, rather that they are neither necessary nor sufficient for successful transformation. They can be anything from a useful starting point to an expensive distraction, but one thing they are not is a solution.

I am seeing more and more people involved in making organizations and teams more efficient come back to how the canned / certifications methods are not sufficient by themselves. I am on the same page, noticing how on the project level the actual project management method (like Scrum, Kanban etc) are no the main predictor of success. The main predictors are getting similar basics right, like Dan North summarized in his post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17710248

The "invasive ads", while really shitty, are for prescription-only drugs, and it's the drug companies behind those, not the pharmacies. You can't just walk into a pharmacy to get those drugs.

They're "convenience stores" in the sense that they also sell things like soap, laundry detergent, toothbrushes/toothpaste/floss/mouthwash, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. It has nothing to do with getting people to buy more drugs, it's just another thing to sell. Stores in the US tend to be bigger and stand alone, so if you've got a sizable building you want to fill it with something to sell.

Virtually every desire a human can have is better fulfilled if most people on earth are happy and productive.

In no future is it better for other people to be unhappy.
Krita does support pinch-to-zoom and it can distinguish between your stylus and your finger, which admittedly puts it above most other Linux drawing apps. But it does not (as far as I can find anywhere) support touch rotation. This makes it suboptimal for most tablets, especially mounted ones.

Driver support is great, but driver support is not the problem for any Linux touch interface, that's been a solved issue for some time - the applications need to catch up to the usability level of stuff like Clip Studio. I fully expect that it will happen some day, but probably not for a while.

That being said, thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it. I'm still running Linux on my drawing tablet, I'm just putting up with everything that comes with it. If you had managed to find an app that had slipped past me when I was testing all of this stuff, you would have just made my tablet experience way better.

It doesn’t matter and the law only applies to housing. All of the other analogies are moot.

If you asked a real estate agent could they find you a house in a mostly Jewish community for instance, they are not allowed to help you...

https://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/articles/what-your...

Real estate agents can easily find themselves having to explain why they can’t narrow down homes on the market based on the client’s preferences because the requests touch on the protected classes. Babs De Lay, broker and owner of Urban Utah Homes and Estates real estate agency in Salt Lake City, says she worked with friends a few years ago who said they were looking for the “most Jewish, democratic neighborhood” in the area.

You could ask your real estate agent, “Is this a good neighborhood?”

Your agent isn't purposely giving you the run-around. Certain details about a neighborhood or community can violate the Fair Housing Act, which was enacted in 1968 to eliminate housing discrimination. The law protects against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability or family status. In particular, it prohibits any real estate professional from steering prospective homebuyers or renters toward or away from a community based on any of the classes under federal protection.
