Wikipedia states that the cause of different rates of diagnosis in men and women is not a settled question: "Boys are at higher risk for ASD than girls. The sex ratio averages 4.3:1 and is greatly modified by cognitive impairment: it may be close to 2:1 with intellectual disability and more than 5.5:1 without. Several theories about the higher prevalence in males have been investigated, but the cause of the difference is unconfirmed; one theory is that females are underdiagnosed."

I suppose if one holds the view that men and women are mentally identical on average, it would lead one to the conclusion that the gender disparity in diagnosis rates is due to social factors (or some kind of medical discrimination).

This is exactly the comprehensive reply I was hoping for, thanks. I dug up a Carroll post on the arrow of time and the big bang for this thread which turned out to be from 2004, so I know the feeling.

If there are any other non-experts like me this far down this reply chain who are interested in dark sector speculation, in addition to raattgift's excellent links I'd recommend the Wikipedia page on the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle [1] and Rob Reid's recent podcast with dark matter researcher Priya Natarajan [2].

There can be a middle ground. Keep the basics of a trading block and other small but essential concepts. But let them be adults and manage their debt and currency. Currently their populist government doesn't care about yields because pappa EU will guarantee that debt, like they did with Greece. They even own a good chunk of it!
I took a brief look at redox, which isn't a super serious project, and noticed that they were at that point only set up to run as a virtual machine. No actual hardware supported. I'm sure this was for expediency in their case...

But then I thought, why not? It seems kind of antiquated for a server os to worry about actual hardware in this day and age. Funny how things turn out.
Well, if it's true, we finally have a real live answer to the age-old question in Iron Eagle: "Dad, will the Maverick fire if we're still on the ground?" [1]

"[..] That demagogic rhetoric comes up commonly and it makes the same fundamental mistake or perhaps not wanting to understand that serving your creditors [..]"

Insisting that the path taken with Greece was the good decision is what looks like demagogic rhetoric to me:

-In a country of 10 million persons, half a million have immigrated (probably the young and with more studies).

-They had a fall of their economy bigger than the USA in the Great Depression, for longer.

-They had been (and are being) forced to sell assets that belong to all the Greeks.

-Their industrial capacity is in its way to disappear totally.

-Of course, the quality of life have fall and unemployment is very high.

-Their economy have been directed by foreign powers.

-All the previsions done from the IMF, EuroArea and company were totally wrong.

-Their public debt is the same, if not bigger, that when the crisis started.

So, my question: what have to happen for you understanding that the option taken was wrong?

The Time Hacker Method: A productivity hack for doing more of what matters
Tyndall didn't lose $1bil in F-22 assets; the HN title of this article is pure clickbait.

No other state takes hurricane evacuation more seriously than Florida. This article[1] posits that Tyndall has 55 F-22s divided between two training squadrons. If only 4 were left behind, that's 93% brought to NMCM Airworthy status or better, which is mindblowingly effective.

It's time to eliminate the password field. Terrible tech. Terrible user experience.
I am curious what reasons there could be for the planes to be immovable by road. F22 has a 13.56m wingspan. Would it make sense to build trucking platforms for such contingencies?

PS: I have no knowledge in the subject, just curious.
And how in the world do you intend to distinguish traffic?

How do you intend to tell the difference between Atom's and VSCode's Git(hub) integration, app updater, package manager, telemetrics or an exploitation? The difference between a Signal, WhatsApp or Telegrams' messages and their telemetrics?

Your proposed heuristic only works for applications that would not otherwise have any network traffic, and even then, only if you do on-machine per-process network monitoring. Once it has any valid traffic what-so-ever (which is the case for basically any modern GUI application), then you quickly descend into needing to disassemble binaries locate the cause.

Opt-in vs. opt-out is about privacy and rights, not about security. Malicious companies whose traffic are a security breach and things down those lines are problems that belong in an entirely different discussion, whose root-cause is much deeper than opt-in vs. opt-out.

Also, regarding scrubbing: A stack-trace and error message is far from private identifying information. No harm done in sharing it.
The EU is still mostly a good thing.

The Euro is a disaster - swivel-eyed lunatic neoliberal orthodoxy enforced by a common currency.

The irony is that the so-called single market is a mess too. While it's possible to sell across country borders in the EU, the bureaucratic necessities - especially VAT accounting - make it a horror show. Eliminating customs bureaucracy is a good thing, but that's still a long way short of true friction-free trade.

I get angry whenever people tell me they have had cocaine at a festival, club or else. For a supposedly educated upper middle class person, this is the most irresponsible thing you could do when considering the well-being of others.

And I'm all for smoking some weed when it comes from a friend's backyard. But cocaine always has blood and human exploitation on it. The kid who got shot in the bad part of town (happens nearly every day in my city), or Mexican found decapitated at the side of the road.

When matter particles interact they release energy that we can detect in form of x-ray or light. When dark matter particles interacts with matter or dark matter, they don’t seem to release any energy. Their only giving away clue is gravitational effect. If dark matter does exist and can be directly detected then we are looking at very new physics.
Wonderfull! If only he added dates of release. Some of them are maybe truly timeless - but still.

From this article[1]:

Throwing jets on flatbed trucks? People don't realize how large of a flying machine a Raptor is. They are roughly 44 feet wide, 62 feet long, and weigh over 43,000lbs. They are not something you just throw on pop's flatbed and skidaddle out of dodge. Nor are they made to be transported that way in the first place. And to where? You are talking about a highly sensitive asset packed with classified material. Its skin treatment alone presents a national secret risk. These aircraft are supposed to sit in last minute hurricane traffic heading somewhere as they hog up multiple lanes? The whole notion is ridiculous. And if they can't seek refuge in time, you have a flying machine strapped to a flatbed. Good luck with that.

Ask HN: How to model numerical energy data in Wolfram Alpha -style?
I'm working on a dataset that contains energy supply and consumption data. This is just a hobby and idea is to do visualizations and simple moodelling based on this data.

Are there good material how to model relationship and units in this kind of data in database level. A bit in a similar vein as Wolfram Alpha structures data?

For example, I'm collecting data like Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES), Electricity Generation and structuring it by year, by country, by source (Coal, Oil, ...), by sector etc.

Also, in different information sources, units might differ. I'd like to input data to database in the original units (with a link to the information source) and be able to automatically convert them when doing queries.

There is a probably name and terminology for this kind of databases, but as I'm not familiar with the field, I have hard time finding good material by googling.
Ad Infinitum – A Parasitical Machine That Lives Off Human Energy
My understanding is that although The Selfish Gene is undeniably brilliant, it's somewhat dated (which figures).

In particular I believe most modern evolutionary biologists don't put quite as much emphasis on the gene as the unit of evolutionary selection, the way Dawkins done.

Edit I was surprised to see Daniel C Dennett in the list. Having those two chew things over would make for an awesome podcast. Pity.
> after seeing on of the videos on the EU I am now skeptical

The EU is almost desperately transparent: http://europa.eu/

> There are 3 big voting bodies: EU Council, EU Parliament, and EU comission.

The Council are the elected heads of state of EU members. They decide on the course.

The EU commission is tasked with implementing that course, and producing legislation.

The EU parliament is tasked with correcting that legislation. Although they have little legislative power, they can dissolve the commission. In the grand scheme of things, the buck stops with them. They are elected directly by EU citizens.

> they started micro-managing everything in the EU.

The EU takes care of the things almost all members agree on (remember, the Council sets the course). They don't get to be involved in high-coverage contentious politics.

> Think of gdpr

Yes, a highly popular measure inside Europe, even by tech people who are affected by it.

> It's starting to resemble a big authoritarian state.

Yes, they will force members to do their bidding with fish-quota, clean beaches, and humane labour conditions.

The EU structure is a little complicated, but it's 400 million citizens we're talking about. Its powers are very limited and is derived from 27 countries wanting to interact to try and set a course that benefits everyone, instead of individual countries racing each other to the bottom with disastrous results.

I appreciate your last two sentences because they made me pause, and realized I hadn't thought about this much living on the left coast.. (waiting for a decent earthquake).

I guess my point from the beginning is that these planes didn't need to exist in the first place, so the money spent could have been provisioned differently, like for programs to possibly help tax payers that just got given the finger.

edit: Your first sentence sounds like it's meant to dissuade criticism about military spending, because your opinion mandates it.
A technologically augmented (neo)liberal society that owns most of the wealth, including most of the neo-feudal labour and resources, would only need to be the size of a small tribe - less than a thousand, more than a hundred people - to be stable and self-sustaining.

If there's an "obviously" here, it's that this is the direction in which current trends are heading.

The peasant class can reproduce all it wants. Managed Malthusian resource limitations will keep it from being a political or - eventually - even an ecological threat.
We are talking about risk-adjusted return. That's right. So as I long as expected risk-adjusted return is positive, a rational investor is supposed to invest regardless of the tax rate. I would think.

>That demagogic rhetoric comes up commonly and it makes the same fundamental mistake or perhaps not wanting to understand that serving your creditors serves you as long as you need credit. The consequence for defaulting is not getting any more loans.

Yeah, idk. How many times has Argentina defaulted in the past 100 years? How many times has the IMF swooped in for that basket case and others like it?

All this means is that their yields will go up, and make it super attractive vs holding stocks, esp if you can lock in fx rates with forwards contracts on the EURUSD.

One thing that bugs me is that (guesstimate) 1/3 of Hollywood stars are Australian (or Kiwi), but they always (have to) do US accents in their movies. And about 90% of the time there's actually an Australian character in a US movie/series they get a US actor to play the Australian! And it sounds so very fake, though not to people in the US evidently. Both of these I find hard to watch.

It's no better with Brits. I never could watch House after loving Blackadder, and The Walking Dead is so weird after being a huge fan of This Life. (i.e. the lead character in both are English)
I would have thought the base would have some nuclear hardened hangars for storing planes?

IANAP (I am not a pilot/military) but the airbases near me in Scotland have bunkers like [these](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9e/24/8f/9e248f941d40fca8e947c4a57...) for storing RAF Tornados and Typhoons.

Hopefully this loss will be a lesson to the USAF
Several genetic conditions are much more prevalent in males than in females. A hypothesis is that this is because the Y chromosome is very small and contains little gene overlap with the X chromosome. Any genetic variations in the X chromosome thus have a much higher impact in a male than the same X chromosome in a female would have.

We know ASD has a strong genetic component, so combining these results in another hypothesis for the higher prevalence of ASD in males, namely that it is affected by the X-Y chromosome dichotomy.

A certain percentage of these planes are always on the ground being repaired. They rotate in and out of flight readiness. What's important is that enough planes are ready for their missions at any one time, not that ALL the planes are ready.

Counter question: what would have been the alternative? Default, exit €, and then all of the above but worse? I know that there are lots of people out there that think more debt is just the answer, but consider two things:

1. Your today's debt is other people's pension fund. So with what right shall a Greek pensioner retain her quality of life at the expense of a Dutch pensioner?
2. Exiting the Euro would undoubtedly shut down imports. At least for a while it would be effectively the same as cutting wages, savings, and pensions by some massive margin. Also the state would have no one to lend money from just after a default. Hence it would be forced into an even stronger austerity program.
You're assuming you know more about evacuation planning and base design than the US Air Force. I think that's an unreasonable assumption.

Some possibilities:
1) Nuclear hardened bunkers exist on base but were already full.
2) Nuclear response planning does not require planes to be stored in hardened bunkers.
3) The threat model for a nuke is different than a hurricane.

Quoting from the same article:

No, these planes aren't just Lego sets that you can take apart and pour into a C-5. Removing wings on an F-22? That is a massive undertaking, let alone getting a C-5 in and loading it up to fly away to someplace. Once again, limited capacity in a limited timespan, and that is a long-lead type of project.
