While I can't find a source, it's a relatively common standard that I've seen used in multiple places, including in the psychology classes that I took (or sometimes dropped in on) in college.

The distinction is most useful because many mental illnesses aren't necessarily qualitatively different than "normal" or "healthy" human behavior and cognition; they're just more extreme versions. For example, normal people regularly engage in compulsive rituals, and engaging in these rituals is sometimes beneficial to them--consider a baseball player's ritual at stepping up to the plate, or a basketball player's ritual when stepping up to the free throw line. But if you start engaging in rituals that are a little too compulsive and too disruptive to "living a normal life", that's when it crosses the line into obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, even if you can life a "normal" and successful life, that doesn't mean you aren't harming the people around you, unless you harm them enough that the long-term social consequences end up hurting you. Most cluster B personality disorders end up with the disordered person alienating people and suffering the consequences of their antisocial behavior. But if you're a high-functioning narcissist or whatever and you get away with everything...?

Here's a rather snarky example of this standard being applied to a certain alleged narcissist (whose name I'll redact in my quote, below, since this person's identity is a bit of a distraction from the more general point): https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/opinion/an-eminent-psychi...

> Most amateur diagnosticians have mislabeled <<a prominent individual>> with the diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. I wrote the criteria that define this disorder, and <<this person>> doesn’t meet them. He may be a world-class narcissist, but this doesn’t make him mentally ill, because he does not suffer from the distress and impairment required to diagnose mental disorder. <<this person>> causes severe distress rather than experiencing it and has been richly rewarded, rather than punished, for his grandiosity, self-absorption and lack of empathy.
Voyager 1 is going 38,610 mph, 2 is slightly slower than that.

Andromeda, one of our closest galactic neighbors is 220,000 light years away.

Imagining that Voyager 1 is going in the right direction and ignoring that the Andromeda is going to collide with us regardless, that works out to 3,821,000,000 years to get there. And that's for a very very close galaxy, on an astronomical scale.

Pretty optimistic to think we'll be around on that time scale, but I suppose it could happen.
That's why the placebo effect works.

The big war machine isn't what keeps us safe; that is a fetishization of the military that has always been around as a justification for outsized military budgets.

Saying that we've gotten research via military funding also disregards how much more research we could get if it weren't redirected through the war bureaucracy. Funding research through the military is about as inefficient as you could get--better than doing so via the lottery, I guess, or by throwing bundles off cash off a bridge, but not by much.
>You can hold an opinion as to whether it's a sound investment for yourself. E.g. Warren Buffett was, for a long time, notoriously reluctant to invest in tech.

You're only reasoning would be "I don't understand this thing, so I'm staying away." You can reasonbly hold an opinion as to how the investment will perform if you don't understand it to begin with.

That is not the view of the people described in the article. These people throw around falshoods and severley misunderstand the subject they claim to be well informed on. That's the entire point.
Their response was that I should have contacted them immediately... but they don't make it easy to contact them.

Companies like this should be left to die.
I'm not arguing that this is an alien probe, but I don't think being disabled rules out the possibility of the flyby being intended. We don't know exactly how long our probes will last, that depends on radiation and other factors. The trajectory could have been plotted to keep slingshotting around different stars long after the expected lifespan of the probe had elapsed, just in case it lasted longer than that.
The article says all the "front-runners" support it, and it's entirely unclear to me who they mean. I'm not sure any reliable polling is yet available. The article they link shows Amara Enyia, at least, voiced no support for a casino, and I just watched the WGN Mayoral Forum last night and don't recall her supporting it there, either.
Oumuamua probably isn't artificial, but observations of objects like it and Tabby's star, fast radio bursts and contact binary systems* will likely increase as our instruments and data parsing improve. So, if aliens are the cause of any these or some repeated, anomalous future observations, it's only a matter of time before we all but confirm we are not alone.

Nonsense. The AGPL is a pretty nasty license to begin with, but this new license makes your software nearly useless.

For example: prior to this change, people could develop an extension to MongoDB which combined MongoDB with some GPLv3 software, and they could then freely redistribute that combined work.

Now they cannot.

MongoDB may as well be Oracle as far as most developers will care now (that isn't a compliment).

Not sure about recently, but I’ve had the opposite experience living in Airbnb’s three months at a time when I was in between my startup and current job.

My two hosts were very friendly, and I got on great with them.

My first host would throw weekly dinner parties, cooking fresh organic food with vegetables she grew in her garden. When I was sick she would bring me breakfast in bed. Indeed, this woman was a wonderful human being.

My second host I would hang out with on an almost daily basis, we became really good friends. Hockey games, getting smashed on the weekdays, and other such fun times. I’ve kept in touch with both.

> "Because the majority of doctors are overworked, exhausted, and discontent, they've normalized their misery and pretend that it's not as bad as it seems"

This quote from the study hit me.

So many people are unhappy with the amount of unproductive work they do (e.g. administration work for doctors). But no one wants to change it?

You may not realize it consciously, but writing this comment probably made you feel (at least slightly) good about yourself.

Not consciously realizing that helping others feels good doesn't mean that you're more of an altruist.
Ok, but the point is that, in either case, the driver isn't going to be charged with motor vehicle theft.
It's pretty shocking to see this (slightly reformatted for sanity):

int journal_file_append_entry(JournalFile *f, const dual_timestamp *ts,
const struct iovec iovec[], unsigned n_iovec,
uint64_t *seqnum, Object **ret, uint64_t *offset) {
items = alloca(sizeof(EntryItem) * MAX(1u, n_iovec));

Stack-allocating based on a function argument, with no checks?

No one who wants to maintain control over their machine should use this software. We should honestly just consider it a rootkit at this point.
> A redistribution scheme is inherently unfair.

All systems of tax, benefits, and even property rights are redistribution schemes, including the recent tax cut, which was a redistribution upwards in the income/wealth scale. Redistribution is always relative to the previous state of societal wealth and resource distribution. There is no set point of "fairness".

> Subsidized housing creates artificial housing demand

What exactly is "artificial housing demand"? The need for primary housing for poorer people (as fulfilled by subsidized housing) is anything but artificial. You can't fake needing a roof over your head. The only place you can see anything like "artificial" housing demand is at the high end in demand for second homes, investment real estate, and vacation properties.

> Solving the affordable housing problem cannot be achieved by subsidizing low wages and high rents.

Agreed. It can only be solved by building more housing. But the purpose of UBI isn't to solve the affordable housing problem. Society can walk and chew gum at the same time by also building more housing where people want to live, which seems like an equally high a political and economic hurdle as UBI.

UBI could in some cases, however, give some people the means to move away from high housing cost areas to areas where UBI goes a longer way towards providing housing for them. Many people are stuck in high-housing cost areas because that's the only place that job opportunities exist. This is not just true for professional workers, but also for blue collar and lower income workers who are even less able to afford housing in expensive metropolises.
> do you have any source for your first statement that "It's absolutely working so well because they are NYT" other than your gut feeling?

It says so right in the part of the article that was quoted:

“The fact that we are no longer offering behavioral targeting options in Europe does not seem to be in the way of what advertisers want to do with us,” he said. “The desirability of a brand may be stronger than the targeting capabilities...

Makes me sad. But ultimately, nothing is forever.
Nice! Go 1.11, especially modules, is a great step forward.
To add some background to the discussion: As a host, you are asked to check a box entitled "Surveillance or recording devices on property". If you check it, it asks you to "Describe any device that records or sends video, audio, or still images. Specify each device’s location and whether it will be on or off."

As this is a text box, it is up to the host to accurately describe things like location of device, viewable area, on/off/recording status, and if there is a microphone. There is also no structured way to specify if the recording device is posted outside (ie a driveway, facing away from the property for security) vs inside the rented space.

Finally, they link hosts to their policy here, which specifies (among other things) that cameras that record guests are fine if disclosed, provided they aren't in bedrooms or bathrooms: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/887/what-are-airbnb-s-ru...

Does this effort take you closer to the (supposed) goal of running arbitrary X86/ARM Linux binaries as cloud functions, or is that a completely different direction?
20% producers, 80% consumers; I think it’s unlikely that most people would choose to work if given the option not to along with being given a consistent, reliable amount of money to which they’d be able to use to settle into a repetitive lifestyle of creature comforts and pleasures.

Given with how normalized 1) consistent drug usage (ie alcohol) and 2) prioritizing pleasures like watching TV or playing video games for the majority of one’s free time have become in western society, I can’t see UBI being of any productive benefit to society. A major problem is who is going to pay for it? The productive, taxing paying folk, who will be receiving UBI as a paltry percentage of their existing, work-based income? It doesn’t seem fair to penalize the most productive, those who choose to work, in order to subsidize those who don’t wish to contribute to the game we called society.

What's the future for the study of Oumuamua? Apparently, it should be beyond the orbit of Saturn by the end of this month. Will we _ever_ know what it is definitively, or is it too late?
I opened the document expecting to sympathize with Lin. In my imagination this was some FBI surveillance state overreach, or "cyberharassment" thing getting overblown.

Instead, reading through the allegations, Lin came off as abominable. Contrary to your conclusion that this shows the FBI takes cyber harassment seriously, it seems like law enforcement generally allowed Lin to publicly subject this poor woman to psychological torture for a couple years before doing anything about it.

Provided the allegations are true, whatever sentence he gets will not be enough...

Man Who Says He Was Abducted by Aliens Breaks 45-Year Silence

This guy is a monster. Read the whole thing if you have the time. For some reason this bit stuck out at me out of all the crimes: He hacked into her "Rover" account (Uber for dog walking) and messaged all her clients that she had a panic attack and murdered their dogs, and will deliver the dog to them in a ziploc bag.

Total psychopath.
>The only reason for this was they read one news source and I read another.

There's your problem. If you were both unbiased, I would assume that you both went back to your news sources and found out which one was misleading. Then whoever was relying on the unreliable news source, changed their news source. They shared that info with other people, and that unreliable new source is now out of business.

Since it's a pretty safe bet that such a thing did not happen, it should be obvious that you're the problem. Personally I could not fathom accepting any news organization's account of any topic as unbiased and complete. For most of those stories, I don't care, they don't affect my opinions. But for things that do matter, I deliberately seek out opposing opinions and see if they can make a convincing argument.
Funny, I have an XPS13 (9370) and I love the aesthetic; the carbon fiber and metal look/feel is really nice. It's light, works well, and is quiet. The keyboard leaving imprints on the display is no different from my 2013 MBP, whose design everyone still seems to love.
Thanks! I was just wondering why the contrast was so sharp after the update.
No, it is what he said.

In this article, he mentions a dead alien civilization sending it. He also mentions the pancake shape.

In this other article[1] he mentions it taking 600,000 years to reach us from Vega.

In this article[2] he mentions the solar sail.

You can find it all on the Wikipedia page[3]. But thanks for the downvotes, guys.

It may or may not matter for Ubuntu or Debian or most other distros, but the kind of users/companies/customers that insist on using RHEL very much care about it.

The whole point of using RHEL is that it has full support, why pay the premium for it if you then include non supported gears into it anyway.

All experience a monumental retraction the likes of which our economy has never experienced the moments ads go away.

No industry, let alone some niche in tech, would be unaffected if Google and their ad-revenue driven efforts dried up tomorrow morning.

If you can't see that there is plenty fewer things to do for the economy to do if ads are curtailed, you need to broaden your horizons.
It's not that simplistic. More like, if we realized that god is a fantasy and there's no afterlife or other mystical values to strive for, and the life we have on earth right now is all there is, the world would actually be a better place.

Having read the license it seems like (in MongoDB context) a license where the GPL virality is more explicitly stated to include service mangement sofware. One could already argue that this software is "derived" if it depends on and extents MongoDB.

Couldn't you get in contact with the EFF and work on a more general, more viral form of AGPL, and treat the current license as more of a stop-gap measure? With those viral licenses it is really important to have only a few, so that they are compatible.
The following October, Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, co-wrote a paper (with a Harvard postdoctoral fellow, Shmuel Bialy) that examined ‘Oumuamua’s “peculiar acceleration” and suggested that the object “may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth’s vicinity by an alien civilization.”

The referenced paper is here:

While not video gambling directly, but there are plenty of those places around. Chicago really is obsessed with scratch off tickets and gambling in general. It is pretty sad. It's amazing to see the same people on a regular basis just throwing away money like that. 20 dollars at a time.
Unlikely that we will ever know for this specific object, but hopefully we will be more poised for future study ;)

Oumuamua is moving way too fast for anything to catch up to it anytime soon. If I remember correctly it's moving about as fast as New Horizons in the 23km/s speed range. You would need lots of years to catch up to it!

Most cluster B personality disorders inflict the bulk of the suffering and anxiety, not on the person with the disorder, but on those around them. Most of the suffering experienced by someone with this disorder comes as an indirect consequence as they alienate themselves from others. Making matters worse, cluster B disorders tend to cognitively predispose people to avoid any kind of self-blame or self-criticism.
I'm in the same boat, bootstrapping my SaaS and about to launch. Another issue I'm facing, perhaps you too, is that LinkedIn is for me a great resource for making initial sales contacts. Problem: I've had a LinkedIn account for years, and it references all the employers I've had that last 10 years. I'd like to create a second LinkedIn profile for myself and my SaaS, but LinkedIn's usage policy apparently doesn't allow this. Unless asked, I don't want potential customers to know that I have a full-time gig and thus can't devote 100% of my working hours to the SaaS. Any suggestions?
