Evidence-Based Strategies for Preventing Opioid Overdose: What's Working in U.S [pdf]
It’s improtant to remember that this study isn’t being done just to prove that men and women have different brains. It’s primarly designed to help understand neurological phenomena like Autism which are sex differentiated.

Also, this study seemed to do a good job avoiding sexist stereotyping. This is an example of the right way to do research about neurological differences between men and women.

I'm sure it's worse now at the embargoes have really started to bite. It looks like they may be dropping their nuclear weapons, which if done, most of the sanctions would probably be dropped.
Exactly to the point, Microsoft did it because it has absolutely no other choice, it was forced to embrace OSS these days. After so many years there is no way I can trust Microsoft in any way. And yes I use Linux as my Desktop since 10+ years ago, and did my best to have nothing to do with Microsoft's ecosystem(.Net, C#, Azure, whatever).

The only exception is vscode, in which case I also have geany, vim and pycharm etc in parallel for daily coding, just in case.
That quote doesn't seem to be particularly political. It's just saying including sex is important. Even the implication you read into it is not particularly political.
I think the comments I replied to mean bias as in “sexist bias”.
Other than the flowery language there are some good nuggets in here like the links to the "banal" sites and the concept of the Collective Web. Escaping commerce simply means affording users a way to give back as they consume and Webmining does just that.
It's worth mentioning that the cognitive science community generally shuns evolutionary arguments, as they tend to be "just so" assertions.

It's not that it's necessarily wrong, but rather unfalsifiable as such.
The contract equivalent of a software bug is called a residual, an area of research Oliver Hart earned a Nobel in economics for, and subsequently applied as a model for understanding smart contracts and their shortfalls.

You are correct, it would be madness to let software alone manage a legal contract, which Hart showed was impossible to free of residuals. A smart contract can be seen as an abstraction from the legal contract underpinning it in order to self-execute where residuals do not arise.

The devil in the details resides of course in the specific contract implementations.
If only :/
For years they were a scrappy independent company slowly getting FAA/NHTSA approvals and variances but without major financial resources — I recall they were one of the early participants in Wefunder back in 2014. (To this day, at least from my perspective, I'd say they're the most notable company to equity crowdfund. But I might not be a typical observer.) https://wefunder.com/terrafugia

Then in July 2017 they were acquired by Zhejiang Geely, the owner of Volvo. I imagine that gave them the resources necessary to create a manufacturing line and come to market. (Still unclear to me whether the purchase is because they'd finally reached a point in R&D where it was market-ready so they sold or if the influx of capital pushed them over the finish line.)

Fallout is really bad. Radiation goes from a high lifetime cancer risk to LD 50/50 over a narrow (in exponential terms) band so twice the fallout can quickly kill a lot more people.

Nukes really don't destroy that much land directly, the difference with nuclear war over regular ones is mostly just the fallout.

The people intuitively scale up Hiroshima and say it's 1,000x as strong so it destroys 1,000x the area. But, it's non linear the giant hot ball of gas quickly gains altitude. Sure, the center get's more energy but it was destroyed anyway.

Also, the atmosphere cuts radiation exponentially with distance. So, if you block 1/2 the radiation at X, then you get 1/4 at 2x and 1/8th at 3x. Thus doubling only increases the lethal radius by X rather than say 5x which is the original lethal radius. (Note it's more complex as radius also reduces the received dose directly, and radiation turns into heat etc.)

PS: You can estimate direct damage as ~10000 * ~100 square miles (most nukes are sub 1MT) ~= 1 million square miles. But, the earth has 57 million square miles of land. So ~2% of total land though much of this would be over water as many cities are coastal. So, if you could ignore fallout and each nuke was targeting something else most land would still be untouched.

If you're young and beginning your career, start with coding practice. As you gain years of experience, the incentive and time you can afford to scruff your way through it keeps declining.

> exposed ten individuals’ details including names, dates of birth, passport numbers, and the details of up to 50 HAL aviation security personnel

I think this is significant especially in an environment where GDPR non-compliance can penalize American companies for millions/billions. I would say compromising the identity of security personnel that could be exploited for a physical attack should deemed even more harmful and fined at a higher rate.
The regulation exists to keep people safe. Poorly handled foods kill people.

Now, if there are high capital requirements for starting a restaurant, it sounds like there is a market opportunity for someone to make a low-capital way to try out restaurant concepts. That's sort of what has happened with food trucks. In Austin, many storefront restaurants existed as food trucks first. Presumably, they got to see that they were a hit without having to spend a ton up front.
The feedbacks depend on total temperature not atmospheric gas composition, so methane raising temperatures by X degrees isn't any worse than CO2 causing the same temperature rise, and methane will exit the atmosphere faster. That is, feedback is proportional to the time integral of warming, not the forcing!

Ok, I see where you are coming from. And it is a pitty to see this kind of thinking from otherwise intelligent and educated people.

So, here we go. e.g. Dreamers are not illegal immigrants, tjere was a law protecting them. I do follow US politics quite closely as of late, and up to now I dis not see any plausible proof of people getting resident status by cheating. There is asystem in place, and at the moment the current US administration is also pushing against legal residents of foreign origin. Zjing is the means used, like the use of food stamps, is targwting a specific sub group. This will not the affect the ex-pats from, say, Norway. It will affect migrants from Latin America. And with their path to citizen ship blocked by some BS like that zhat is a way to keep non-whites out. For that there is proof.
> but HN has always felt to me like a display of how working within constraints can improve quality.

Definitely in the same boat. When I started reading through this rare opportunity for legitimate meta discussion I was about to advertise the missing vote direction indication on the unvote button. Because it's so easy to hit the wrong direction on mobile and that would be an elegant way to fix it.

But now I think that even this might be more feature than bug: knowing that there is a chance that it might have been just clumsy upvoters makes it easier to do the right thing when getting downvoted.
It's nothing to do with men being "forced" to do anything, it's simply that in every sexual species the selective pressures on males and females is very different. In mammals the females have to be strong enough to carry a baby until birth. While the males have to be stronger than all other males; long term health is much less important.
This line of thinking leads for example to studies on differences in risk-taking behavior between genders, which then leads to people saying "of course most companies are run by man, because men being more risk-taking start more companies". This kind of sexist thinking has no place in academia.
Reading this back, I'd also suggest a comparison with Hindley-Milner type systems ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindley%E2%80%93Milner_type_sy... )

These type systems are used by ML and its descendents (OCaml, Haskell, Rust, Reason, etc.) and are generally seen as a "sweet spot". They feature:

- Types depending on types (AKA type constructors)

- Values depending on types (e.g. type classes)

- Type-generic values (AKA parametric polymorphism)

- Higher-kinded types (AKA higher-order types, or generics at the type-level)

- Inference of all types

- Erasure of all types

Things which Hindley-Milner can't do include:

- Inference of values (AKA implicit arguments, as found in Scala and Idris)

- Erasure of values

- Types which depend on values (AKA dependent types)

These things are important for this article, since it represents types as values (which the two given rules let us access from our type annotations). In particular, if we could infer (some) values, we could avoid having to specify arguments like in `List(Integer)`.

Going "beyond" Hindley-Milner is a very active area of research. There's a nice talk about this at https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/390dyx/conor_mcbri... (which i admit is a bit symbol-heavy); full disclosure, I was in the audience for that talk ;)
Obviously not. Every time I've worked with someone incompetent they tend to get fired rather quickly and I don't work with them anymore. As far as female vs. male goes I've worked with way more males than females and I just haven't happened to work with any females that have been fired for incompetence. Perhaps my level of judgement on other's performance is too lax but I tend to focus on my own performance and less on that of others. That's management's job, not mine.
Like the whole James Damore fiasco at Google earlier late last year.
It's a coordination problem. If the diffuse damage of pollution instead was totally concentrated on an individual, people would be very focused on reducing their carbon foot print.

Right now our best technology for dealing with coordination problems are government and treaties.
Really? Because the South China Sea dispute is an excellent example. Nobody supports China's sovereignty claim over the disputed islands. International law and custom does not support China's claim. Who is standing up for rule of law? The current administration. The same can be said of chemical weapons use in Syria, and Russian assassinations in the UK, trade manipulation by China, etc. Rule of Law isn't what you think it is, and it doesn't work in the manner you assume.
They have, see https://coinlist.co/
You're both right because you're talking about local laws and GP is talking about the post-war order, which is held together by American hegemony. It's not mentioned in the article, but people have argued that Nixon (who has a lot in common with Trump in general) held things together basically the same way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_theory

As a side note, this is really great journalism.
My (American) grandfather owned a pair of lederhosen. I knew he had gotten them in Germany, but it was twenty years from when I learned about the lederhosen to the time it occurred to me to ask when he had been in Germany. It turns out that the answer was "early 1930s," and that there are droll family stories about how well he passed for a young German. Apparently he'd spent a considerable amount of time there after university, and developed a firm command of the language. I was met with shrugs from my parents' generation when I pointed out how terribly bad that looked. Apparently it was far from unusual. Much like the young English people in the article, he was left-leaning and from a well-to-do family, and had been sent to Germany for perspective.

So this article touched a nerve -- I was already distrubed by the idea of my grandfather blithely roaming around Germany in the early '30s, and by my family's willingness to treat the whole thing as a trifling bit of youthful tourism -- now I'm confronted with the mental image of him heil-ing his way across the country and dropping in to Hitler's favorite tea room.
In the microcontroller it is good enough for hobby/proof-of-concept level things. Same as the various Javascript engines. Lua might actually be doable for some simple products.
But a lot of embedded these days is on Linux, and then Python is pretty great.
This is exactly the mentality that makes getting public transit built a problem.

Trains don't cause crime. The crime was already there because of a whole heap of deeply embedded issues in America that, for various reasons, Americans on the whole prefer to completely ignore.

The problem is that trains make these problems visible. If you rip out the trains you're just sweeping it back under the carpet which is how America tends to deal with these things.

If the best economic opportunity afforded by the trains for someone is crime that's saying something about your society, not the trains.

Paid PR piece, anyone? And still the writer is reaching so far they're going all the way around the world back into their own ass trying to praise this thing.

<rant> I'm so fucking done with MagicLeap. Their head conman CEO, who is, absolutely and by all accounts, an absolutely fantastic showman and salesman, has taken so much money and so much hype that it's not going to end well.

Pretty much EVERYONE who has tried the magic leap headset has basically said 'meh'. It blocks around 85% of the incoming light [1], for fuck's sake. That's the first of a very long list of 'meh'.

Why am I so pissed off about this? Because it's going to crash the AR industry (already on its knees because of an overhyped VR industry) and set it back years. Already, and for years now, no one wants to invest in an AR hardware startup because "how could you possibly beat Magic Leap?

Fuck those guys. And the dumb investors who let themselves be fondled into throwing billions? Shame on you!

The same thing happened to lightfield imaging with Lytro (who took "only" a few hundred million in comparison). Lightfield imaging has been stagnant ever since they took too much money and sucked all the oxygen out of an entire industry.

The ideal outcome of a nuclear war would be an exchange that destroys all military installations of all sides with the smallest nessesary nukes and no civilian casulties. In that sense, increased targeting capabilities are great.

Now we just need to work on not targeting civilians, not destroying the electrical grid, minimizing fallout etc.

The second corporate incarnation of Iridium, which bought the whole network out of bankruptcy, has been extremely successful, however. It's the only truly global network that will function equally well in mountainous regions of northern Afghanistan, on the Antarctic polar ice cap plateau, in the middle of the south Indian Ocean, or elsewhere. The architecture and technology was way ahead of its time, with Ka-band satellite-to-satellite trunk links between satellites following each other in polar orbits. And voice codecs built with 1996-1997 technology that can fit intelligible voice into about 3000 bps.

I agree that the late 1990s marketing which was trying to sell Iridium phones to international business travelers was ridiculous, however. Once the new Iridium corporation settled on the actually useful market of government, military, disaster response, maritime, expeditions and M2M data they've been wildly successful.

The second and third generation handsets (9555 and Extreme) are much more reasonably sized and closer in user interface to a modern cellphone.
>This is true, but once you start looking into it is highly misleading. A huge (and maybe only) reason for this is advances in targeting systems.

Yes, and Khrushev singlehandedly conducted a psy-op, ingraining the concept of "missile gap" into psyche of American political establishment.

At the time when ICBMs were still toy weapons, he successfully pushed NATO nations into spending enormous resources bringing up their strategic nuclear forces, while the bloc was popping T55s by thousands every week.

On a macro scale, all an every "lateral movements" were nothing but a ruse, disguising the fact that the only strategy he had was to send a patently enormous mechanised force over a wide front.

The more remarkable was, that, I think, that every military analyst pentagon had was coming to this very conclusion very easy, but none of them were ever heard in white house or by higher up generals.

Big name generals were themselves convinced that all of that itself was a ruse, and that Khrushev had a secret joker in his pocket, and that he will not resort to the most straightforward way to defeat them.

And American presidents, of course, only wanted to hear an opinion that was easier to believe in, coinciding with their own view of the world. What they believed in? They believed in a vision of a clean and fast war, where enemies are instantly vapourised at a click of a big red button.

The Greenland graph is essentially vertical, but the Cariaco graph looks like it’s relatively spread out as well as being much smaller magnitude — though even then, the delta is double the current estimated maximum sustainable excess over pre-industrial temperatures.

This is probably not the place for a lengthy argument, but I'll simply note that "mainstream" religion is kind of a straw-man, and most adherents fall into one-or-another sect.

I was in a church in the U.S. South many years ago, a church that is definitely mainstream there. The preacher that evening actively advocated killing Satan worshippers. Not figuratively, but literally killing them. Nobody in the congregation disagreed. "I don't want them around. Do you?" I started thinking hard about the whole God thing after that.

Religion is a very powerful tool that I believe is exploited for control.

I'm sorry if I offended you. But I totally stand by my claim.

The condo fees explode in most new developments between year 2 and 5, often tripling in the city.

There is an excellent (true) account in "The Last Battle" by Cornelius Ryan of an Allied undercover agent who lived in Berlin up until the very end of the war. I don't recall which country he claimed to be from (A non-aligned one, I believe) and due to his extended presence in the face of the worsening situation post 1943 (and Berlins general apathy towards Nazism) he was considered almost "one" of them.

I'd suggest all three of Cornelius Ryan's books to anyone look for a tightly knit story style of WW2 book, written mostly in the 1950's-1960's with real interviews of those involved and excellent anecdotes.
