How familiar are you with other northern european states? (UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland)? There is a definite cultural gradient in Europe - and I'm wondering do you feel just estranged by nothern european values in general and not specifically sweden. As a finn I don't really feel there is especially anything weird in Sweden when visiting there (except they have more capital than finland so their nordic wellfare system is a bit more robust than ours - then king of the hill in nordic wellfarestateism being Norway with their oil).
Tell HN: Using Gmail? You will be force logged into Chrome
So, it turns out Chrome 69 is a lot more than just redesign of the tabs and removal of the www from the url.

I'm using the Mac version of Chrome (Version 69.0.3497.81 (Official Build) (64-bit) to be pedantic).

Up until two days ago, logging into gmail and logging into chrome were two different things, as they obviously are (one is a web service the other is a web browser, to be pedantic again)

I would usually be logged into gmail in the browser, but would only log into Chrome on special occasions and/or with specific accounts.

As of today, if I hit www.gmail.com and log in, I'm automatically logged into Chrome. If I log out of Chrome, I'm also logged out of gmail.

This can't be a bug... can it?

I looked for footnotes, haven't found any, besides some other blogspot links and an aeon article.

The title is misleading, there are little to none sources, the whole thing smells like an opinion and pop-science. I might not be a physicist, but I'm not lacking competency in reading.
Antidepressants may cause antibiotic resistance
Well, they wouldn't have enough money to market themselves. Or if they were independently wealthy and leveraged people's outrages to get elected, well that worked last presidential election.

Seriously though, internet + mass-media-driven outrage on a topic like this is probably much smaller than people think whereas less squeaky outrages (e.g. the ACA) have huge angry-yet-silent bases.
All anecdotal, but I had severe kidney stone issues as well - I know the pain!

I had several kidney stones while I lived in Sweden, and they did give me opiates for it - but only at the hospital. I was prescribed Diclofenac (an NSAID) as a fast-acting suppository to take home, with instructions to take that and then go to the hospital if I had another stone.

The next time I woke up with cramps, I did as told, and the meds worked quickly to reduce the pain to manageable levels until I got to hospital.

Perhaps there are medical reasons to prescribe some patients a take-home opiate for this.. but I can't help but wonder if kick-back programs and so on are playing a role here for what treatment path doctors choose.
Would you suggest a solution?
And of course there’s another side to this cycle.

More extreme stuff gets viewed more. More views means more ad revenue and a higher tier. That only incentivize people to make even more extreme stuff.

When these were webpages with a handful of a handful of ads didn’t matter that much. Now one of the largest media platforms on the planet is actively pushing this stuff (unintentionally) at everyone so it’s actually having an effect.
I can think of many cases where "the other side" refused to compromise, creating a negative-sum game. But let me cite an example where "my side" was in the wrong.

I'm a liberal-ish person, and I think most states could use more tax revenue. I'm also concerned about climate change. This is a pretty mainstream set of positions.

In 2016 there was a ballot initiative proposed in Washington state that would levy a tax on carbon emissions, and offset it with cuts to other taxes. The result would be revenue-neutral (or slightly revenue-negative). It was opposed by the usual suspects (energy companies), but also some environmental groups and the state Democratic party.

Part of the liberal argument was that the initiative wasn't perfect. Given a new source of revenue, liberals saw many needs that could be met, instead of tax cuts. But that wasn't the deal on the table. The initiative failed, and we got the "dead baby" of no carbon reductions, no spending on other needs, and a less efficient tax system.

This is a total whitewash of the role pharmaceutical companies played by intensely pushing opiates while downplaying negative ramifications they were well aware of.
> I looked for footnotes, haven't found any

It's a blog post, not a scientific paper, and the statements it makes are very general, of the sort you will find somewhere in many textbooks, but not in one specific place that can be referenced. What you're asking for is kind of like asking for a specific footnote for the definition of a prime number in a blog post about number theory.

If what you are looking for is a quick way to know whether what the article says is true without having to take any time to actually study science, there isn't one. There is no royal road to learning.
Remember when Oxycontin was supposed to be a pain pill that was "impossible to get addicted to"? Yeah... I'm trusting this "relief measure" about as much as I trusted that line in the 90s.

This is just gonna be their new wave of "milder" Oxy, that people get hooked on first. Sure, we're sold that its for helping things now... But give it a few years and this will be just another prescription opiate slung by street dealers. "Oh its safer!"

Methadone is addictive too. And so is this filth.

The focus of antitrust on prices is the direct result of Bork's influence on the Supreme Court, as this excellent article makes clear [1]:

>And so Bork argued that federal judges must resolve the “paradox” by declaring that the only legitimate purpose of antitrust law was to promote “consumer welfare,” basically meaning lower prices. And the only way to promote consumer welfare was to promote efficiency, because efficiency meant more production, which meant cheaper products. Any other purpose would interfere with efficiency and must therefore be ignored.

>To see how radical this was, just consider one example of something not captured by consumer welfare: employee welfare. In a town dominated by a single employer, workers may be forced to submit to poverty wages and abusive work conditions. Coal miners know this all too well—so do Walmart employees. (See Alec MacGillis, “What J. D. Vance Doesn’t Get About Appalachia.”) But to Bork, that could never justify antitrust enforcement so long as the product stayed cheap.

>The Antitrust Paradox makes for remarkable reading today. Like a caricature of a Chicago School economist, Bork explicitly warned against learning from experience. Rather, all business practices should be judged based on what “simple” (his word) economic models predict. “Only theory can separate the competitive from the anticompetitive,” he wrote. And theory says consolidation is good, because it means strong firms are crushing weak ones.

I’ve gotten to that point too. Even before things got so much worse in the last two years I had already mostly tuned out of news because it stopped being journalism. I would 100% tune out near the end of election cycles.

So much of it is just straight reporting. “X said this, Y said that.” No analysis, no critical thought as to whether any of those few points worth presenting at all. Just clips of people’s claims, totally unchecked.

If I wanted to know what a candidate or CEO said without any analysis, I could just read their press release.

he will probably say something along the lines that invalidate the entire idea of gender and refuse to listen to science's view by referencing a book of fiction that allegedly was written by people who used to chill with God.

Next thing you know he is blaming Jews and any other group traditionally been scapegoated.

Be as it may, there needs to be more study and enforcement done to prevent this sort of outcome, but sexual violence is not exempt in women prison population.

The main issue seems to me a cultural obsession towards demonizing the phallus. For instance, it's perfectly acceptable for men/women to joke about harming a phallus yet it's absolutely not okay the other way around, yet demand society treat both as equals. It's interesting that in Japan it's associated with positiveness, while loathed in Anglo culture. For example, 'bollocks' refers to the scrotum. Hence, the tendency towards much less societal tolerance and increase in violence towards sexual minorities. While transgenderism is still a tabboo, I don't think transwoman faces physical challenge in Japan vs UK.

I mean they killed Turing because he was gay which represented a cultural threat via symbolism, but my theory is that societies with institutional level homosexual dynamics early childhood to young adulthood, mainly the whole concept of boarding school, where the upbringing of boys are left to the caretakers, statistically almost always an abuser, instead of a caring UK mother who can't be allowed to bother with "brats", will display violence towards the very victim which they project themselves on to.

The adage of projection is very real with homophobia. In my case, I worked with an account executive who was openly homophobic, would utter the word "faggot", use racially insensitive photos of minorities, in supposedly a startup that touts itself as a "diversity beacon". So it irks me when I see people misrepresent the whole situation and transphobia is no different. It's far worse, I've worked with a gay CEO who proudly claimed how he turned down a transwoman because it was "wrong".

If people just dealt with their own insecurities instead of trying to make it a "hetero-cis" vs "freaks", it would do society and this world a giant favor. I mean look at Thailand, no laws or people parading Caityln, simply acceptance, without any anger or personal views.
Let's look at Amazon's fulfillment platform. Currently every warehouse is strongly coupled to the platform, and the platform is strongly coupled to Amazon's logistics, and Amazon.com , the site. This offer a huge barrier for competition.

But what if we've create a platform that is totally independent of Amazon(so that other retailers will use it), a platform that decouples warehouses from itself, so that new warehouses(owned by entrepreneurs) are freely added to that system and free to compete with it's other - maybe under the guide of a benevolent dictator(for example guiding toward optimal places at a specific time)? and the platform, since it's regulated as a utility, is pretty open and runs under fair rules ?

At the very least, it's a much more competitive system.

Show HN: Deep learning retreat scholarships
I run Deep learning retreat, a 3-month school that takes pretty advanced machine learners and gets them to work together with mentors to produce a killer deep learning portfolio project. We want these projects to have social impact (example: a malaria microscope).

We are launching our first batch in SF. We are going to live together (participants and mentors) at walking distance from the office. It's going to be great.

It costs 12k. And this is clearly a problem for many, many people. So I'm happy to announce that a benefactor that wishes to remain anonymous contributed money to start up a scholarship program. This is really amazing because we while we didn’t know each other before… we were still united by our mental model of how deep learning can change the world.

The scholarships will work as a ‘pay it forward’ model. That is, if you got one, whenever you are well-to-do in your life, give one to someone who needs it. Be anonymous.

Since a lot of influential people hang out here, I want to ask you. Can you recommend someone for the scholarship? It's merit first, then need. We want to get the best people possible, and have the maximum amount of impact.

If you want to apply yourself, head to https://deeplearningretreat.com/deep-learning-retreat-schola...

GDPR has sane penalties, that’s why it’s such a big deal. GDPR seems to put the EU in a better position for the US Market since it has better data laws so is more attractive for US customers. The only downside is for companies not in the EU targeting the EU market, either follow the EU law or withdraw from that market. It basically puts the US in a worse position in my opinion.

I find the Riddle scale weird, because I am completely indifferent to somebody being gay. It must be an American thing, because I work in an office with 300 other people, so statistically, some of them are gay. But I have no clue and it makes no difference for me whatsoever.

It's almost as if when you're an atheist and people who believe in god say that you're a believer or that you had a bad experience with religion etc. No, it is simply an indifference.
Overnight busses are great for traveling if you're in another country. You can pay for the transportation to get to your new destination, and save a night on lodging cost at the same time by getting to sleep. I took an overnight bus from Venice to Paris and it was a great way to travel: no transfers, didn't need to pay for a hotel that night, and got to see some parts of the countryside I otherwise wouldn't have.
Where I'm living the local newspaper covers sports (mostly soccer and handball) of childrens' teams extensively, and they know they had better mention almost every player by namein the article or at least the photo caption.

If you divide causes into "accidental" and "intentional", and assume "caused by incompetence" belongs into the "accidential" catagory, then the comment "We don’t need [X]. We need sane penalties for [Y] caused by incompetence" can be read as arguing against penalties for intential actions.

If they meant the opposite of that, then that's a really weird way to express it.

> Even if the error screen is skippable, it makes it clear to the user that something is very wrong and that they're advised to abort their usage of the site.

If users do abort their usage of the site, the site is effectively bricked. If they don't, then HPKP accomplished nothing because users are using the site despite a possible mitm.

I guess a user could use the site, but more cautiously - such as not entering passwords. That's possible - but I'm skeptical that many users would actually do so.

> I hear this repeated a lot, and frankly I think it's nonsense. I just can't see how anyone with a basic knowledge of deploying TLS would be confused about how HPKP works.

It's not that it's hard to understand, it's that it's hard to actually implement it. You need to have multiple certs in case one of them gets compromised. And if you mess that up, then you either self brick yourself or you need to keep using a known compromised cert.

HPKP just wasn't worth it for most websites - a reduction in the risk of someone presenting a forged cert in exchange for the risk of accidentally self bricking your website.

That's a rather small death toll compared to the one associated with "Improvements in or relating to the transmutation of chemical elements" by Szilard in 1932. Are you suggesting he should have been excommunicated?

That is ridiculous. At most a statement by the authors in the frontmatter repudiating the relevant conspiracy theories should suffice.

> Watching cis people play trans characters feels like watching Hackers, the terrible 90's movie.

I think that's a great analogy. But two questions come to mind:

1. Are there any movies that are not terrible for people who know enough to compare them to reality? Gell-Mann amnesia comes to mind. Most productions focus on telling a story and will happily ignore constraints of the setting if that allows for more dramatic scenes.

2. What about trans people playing cis people? Maybe they would be better suited for the role because of spending more time as their preferred gender, but otherwise the argument feels pretty transphobic if you simply switch cis and trans.

if amazon can profitably undercut everyone for long enough, it becomes a monopoly, at which point it can be either forcefully split to rescue whatever's left of the market or become a tightly regulated utility; before any of that happens, they'll make a killing when they raise prices. if you care about the market, you don't want to let this happen.
