How horrible. If I had a dime for every time somebody on the internet took a civil disagreement of opinion to an emotional level I would be a trillionaire. If this is how I qualified my self-worth I would be in a very bad place. This is also the reason I deleted my Reddit account.

God forbid you offer technical advise or attempt to explain a complex subject and the answer somehow becomes extremely political. The biggest example I remember is the folks at r/programming really REALLY want WASM to replace JavaScript. I, being a long time JavaScript programmer, explained how WASM isn't replacing JavaScript for technical reasons and the stated goals around that technology. Immediate emotional failure on an epic scale. I could have said something about harming children and would have been less reviled. This isn't even a political subject. I imagine an actual political subreddit being quite comical.

People get emotional online for all kinds of reasons. PRO TIP: there are many people online that cannot follow a conversation, possibly their own conversation, or who have trouble with basic reading comprehension. ANOTHER PRO TIP: echo chambers and conformity are very real qualities that easily feel threatened for nonthreatening reasons.
What many commenters do not understand here is that Facebook is making a killing by allowing this kind of illegal targeting. They know what's going on but they clearly don't care unless they get sued. In the meanwhile they made millions/forced the competition out/made it "standard"...

This is very field-dependent. In mine (political science) it's routine to blind the reviews in both directions. In others, papers are reviewed with the author's name and affiliation on the top.

There is a further issue that if you're in a small-enough (sub-)field you probably know what other people are working on and can effectively unblind the authors anyway.

To me it sounds like an addicted user talking on a manic day
Most people on the autism spectrum can experience the whole gamut of human emotion. There were some studies done just recently that concluded we feel compassion just like everybody else. (Certainly comports with my personal anecdata.) What we lack is the ability to express our feelings in a manner that registers as legitimate to neurotypicals. (Some of us lack the ability to quickly read emotions in others, others don't.) There is far more diversity among autistic brains than among neurotypical brains, which means from an autistic perspective all NTs are kinda the same. And this pattern or template, for how an NT behaves, if you deviate too far from that, the lizard brain "uncanny valley" instinct kicks in. The feeling of "this thing is imitating one of my kind, perhaps to eat me".

The bitter irony is, psychopaths are far more dangerous and yet they make better imitators, and can avoid triggering the uncanny valley instinct. That's why they can be so charismatic and attract followers.
Reminds me a lot of my usenet newsgroup file sharing days and the PAR parity format. A file is split into say 200 pieces to fit within the limitations of a newsgroup post. Those 200 posts may or may not all make it to your usenet server, but an additional 10-20 parity files are also created such that you need to only find 200 total unique pieces to recreate the data.

It's different in that the data is totally readable other than the missing pieces (although practically unusable). The thing that blew my mind was just how a single parity file can fill a single gap regardless of where in the sequence of original files.
People with asperger do have emotions including fear - one of symptoms is inability to control them (it somethimes manifests through blow ups and sort of temper tamtrum when things don't go the way autistic likes or needs, when routine is broken etc). In particular, people with asperger can be very fearful.

They do not express them the same way, they may lack awarness of them (another symptom), they don't understand them and they occure in different situations then the ones that would make neurotypical angry etc. But, they do feel and are not machines.
Cleaning up isn't trivial - cleaning this up means that some people suddenly life or work in a different country, with different regulation and taxation. For good and bad reasons this will lead to protests.
If a monkey can provide 90% of your value, but there's a shortage of people who can provide the other 10%, you might still get paid well.

I mean, if the monkey doing the can generate 900k of value per year, but a human doing is can generate 1MM per year, then it would be better to hire the human for anything up to 96k/year (assuming peanuts cost less than 1k/quarter).

Do folks really get critically low on gas that often? Your phone battery lasts a day and can get drained easily in unexpected ways, so the Uber thing probably has a lot of chances to kick in. But your car holds so much gas, and gas stations are so close together, that it’s hard to see how they would actually “trap” anyone. I usually can plan a few days in advance when I am going to fill up next.

I was tested for vitamins D two years ago and was found to be low. I was told to take an OTC supplement. That test was covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. I've taken some here and there.

This year, my wife and I got tested again...new insurance (Aetna) and it wasn't covered. We have different doctors, so to the point of the article, doctors are asking for the tests more now. My range is nornal. I don't feel a huge difference, but admittedly I did at first, but could be placebo effect.

So three gripes.

1)Not knowing a test isn't covered before a test is executed

2)Doctors performing test that may not be necessary (per the article)?

3) There is no medical consensus on what is 'nornal'...and the range ised by Quest borders what can be doable?!

Also, my dad who is on medicare got tested too, for the first time last year. He was low. He lives in South Florida and gets plenty of sun from being outdoors.

Sigh.
Dear Google Employees
I'm from Europe, and I like the Paul Graham Essay from 2006, http://www.paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html , where he claims there are 3 necessary conditions to build a startup ecosystem in any city or region:

1. A large city or metropolitan area with high quality of life according to nerds and their preferences

2. excellent universities or career opportunities, so young gifted people are motivated to move there from 1000s of miles away

3. Capital availability (Venture capital, private equity, unspent cash looking for investment)

Most European Cities fail to provide all 3, and even then these conditions are not sufficient to build a successful hightech startup.

> I can't really begin to imagine the pressure of being on a 'social' platform at that age.

Completely agree, and I’m not too far removed from the social media madness of today. My 7th-8th grade (12-14 y/o) years where during MySpace’s hay day. And, at least amongst my peers, a lot of our world revolved around it. I remember people bragging about how many “friends” they had, there were actual fights about so-and-so being in (or not) someone’s top 8, and all sorts of petty drama in bulletin’s and comments. But, it was still just kind of a fun thing, while there were arguments such people got over them and quickly forgot, nobody took it that seriously. There was still a pretty solid divide between your MySpace life and real life. Nobody was always online, you would just get on MySpace when you were bored and wanted to talk to people/post passive aggressive/super teenage angsty bulletins about your crush that doesn’t like you.

Then when I got to High School, that’s when Facebook became popular. I actually was a hold out, as I didn’t like Facebook as it didn’t feel the same, it felt more connected to real life (if that makes sense). But I eventually succumbed as nobody was getting on MySpace anymore.

Fortunately I graduated before Snapchat existed, and Instagram was just becoming popular. And I can’t even imagine what stupid bullshit all these new always online, highly intimate, and tightly connected to your real life/identity social media’s bring about. My little brother just graduated high school, and from what I could see, a lot of his and his friends interactions were through social media, with some friends trying desperately to become internet famous, and a lot of subtweeting.

I’m just glad this crap wasn’t around when I was a teen, because unlike MySpace, the things they’re posting/doing online aren’t likely to go away anytime soon (and I don’t think a lot of them realize that).

Nowadays, the only social media I actively check is instagram. I still have my Facebook, but it gets checked maybe once a week, Snapchat is installed, but I haven’t sent anything in months, really only there for when someone sends me something so they don’t ask me why I didn’t open it. But, I even feel a small pressure to engage with social media, and the dopamine hits from getting likes is still nice. I can’t imagine what teens, most of which depend greatly on peer acceptance to determine their self-worth, deal with. Though, I’m interested in seeing how these always online, social media teens, grow up, and how social media will evolve because of it.

> In no future is it better for other people to be unhappy.

Then explain why some people are criminals or parasites on the system it it's better for everyone to be happy? Why take advantage of others if it's better overall not to do so? My guess is because some people don't care about others. Psychopaths generally fall into that category. Question is what they would do if they made up all of society, which means everyone is understood to be looking to take advantage.
You are right.. But what made you to still use HN, it is still like reddit but more technical.

That was the original reasoning for the 3 (now 12) mile territorial water limit, which was how far coastal artillery of the time could reach.

The US lobbied for extending this repeatedly, and applies a de facto larger limit to the continental US. This makes sense if you consider that modern coastal artillery uses over the horizon radars and missiles. But a reasonable argument can be made that contemporary coastal defense is not artillery, but air-launched missiles whose range can be considered to be the missile range plus the combat range of the launching aircraft.
What about HN's addiction to news about facebook? I thought after a year of relentless facebook spam, we were past this. Now the top two posts are about facebook. We have to kick this habit.
Totally agreed. It's just chaos, because the mind that constantly requires a reflection of itself to prove it is healthy is not a healthy mind to begin with.

Behaving in that pattern in a conditioned sense opens oneself up for all sorts of manipulation, which long term, that's quite a bit of suffering (if there's no genuine connection between members of a social group, hence, the group is prone to rapid shifts in likes/dislikes'. It becomes hard to determine intent - which makes the social environment untrustworthy, which in my opinion, is the basis of what is required for sanity. Trust. You can have that as something established over a long time, or you can have instant connection, just really 'get' someone and where they are coming from.

Facebook is an addiction. There's plenty of places on the internet that encourage healthy dialogue and it's obvious / quite plain to see what is effective and what is ultimately destructive.

I like HN a lot. So many other places on the internet, it seems like a popularity contest. Here I can get 0 or 1 upvotes but not feel ignored, not feel worse off for it.

Healing, in many regards.
How to Use Bitcoin: Truths You Need to Know
Hate, conspiracy theories, anything that is rabid clickbait attracts eyeballs and thus ad revenue.

Is it any surprise vanity platforms don’t do a good job at moderation? Content moderation is both an expense and revenue limiter.

As a good number of the replies in that tweet thread suggest, the only solution is if people abandon fb en masse, which seems unlikely given the apparent growing need for attention and social validation.
> Taking advantage of others would quickly lead to a form of ostracism.

But why would this be the case if everyone in society mostly felt it was okay to take advantage as long as you could get away with it?

I was working at a large tech company with awesome coworkers and cool technology, but I wasn't applying my experience/time/skill towards something I cared about. But I likely would have stayed if it weren't for my SO getting an opportunity for a position in an awesome new city/country.

I have been interested in education, healthcare, gamification, and video games for a while. When my SO's opportunity came up, I found that one of the companies I follow and that is focused on most of those interests of mine (gamification of education, educational video games) was located in the same city.

I applied, went through the interview process completely remotely, and was eventually offered a job.

But would this work for an entire society? Because your teams are part of a larger society that has various rules and codes of conduct already in place.

The pricing is steep because I believe in my system. I don't believe there is an uncertainty if you have an edge. My system was designed with an edge in mind and was able to make profits in 2016 February and 2018 January while everyone was running away. Generally, if you start with a $30K account, the trial alone should pay out a years of subscription.

The subscriptions are growing, also I think I will raise it to $1,500 soon as I don't want too many clients ;) I've noticed the people who pay the $500 right away are happy, the ones asking for a discount drain too much time and cause this to be a real business. It's only $250 the first month, then $500 after that. Many people do the $250, then cancel, but really, the people who cancel are the ones who don't get into all the trades/are just curious.

Most the other services charge $99 or something, but they aren't half as good as me also they get into hundreds and thousands of trades. Mine can be done by someone at work that's the big part. The following the plans is rather easy because I tell the customers something like, if AAPL crosses $220, but the Jan 2019 $220 Options. Then an alert gets sent to Discord when I get in, so either they can setup a conditional order, or wait for my order to execute. At the start, I was not posting my exits, now I am posting my exits, so it can be easier for people and that's making the retention/marketing huge because most the other competitors don't get into all their trades, that's what makes me unique.

The one negative right now, I don't have my stats posted as to the win/loss rate to make people believe, however, I have a plan for January 1.

The part that is really flying is the "account management for larger accounts" as I have gotten people out of a few bad stocks and into a few more great stocks. I just don't know how to automate this and I am not sure which way it's going to grow, i.e. people will want to deposit in my account, or want me to trade from their account, plus I'm not licensed so I might be doing a CSC soon.

A common trend when tech companies are hit by regulation outside their direct business is to argue the regulation shouldn't apply. Sometimes the reasoning is that the issues of regulation are solved by tech, sometimes it is that the regulations impede innovation, sometimes the reasoning states that the net benefit outweighs the occasional loss.

Often such arguments are just trying to prevent regulation, but there are situations where regulation wasn't written with this tech in mind and therefore doesn't quite apply. At the very least, the discussion can be fruitful.
