Except you have it backwards. I didn't develop a hypothesis and look for a few internet people to support it. Instead, I did what worked and then tried to understand why it worked.

Thick mucus tends to be poor quality mucus. Mucus is supposed to be viscous. Women self reporting on vaginal mucus also fail to distinguish vaginal "goopiness" from mucus.

This is why i paid attention to anecdotal evidence that lack of vaginal mucus was ruining their sex lives. This was pretty uniformly reported.

It's possible there is some sex worker or fetish club member out there with CF who has sex with multiple men every day and is just not admitting it for done reason. But I spent several years on multiple CF lists and the consesus was CF causes vaginal dryness and this harms women's sex lives.

Your casual dismissal also fails to explain how an excess of mucus causes a compromised immune system. It seems obvious on the face of it that a lack of healthy mucus would be a problem because an important element of our immune system would basically be missing.

Mucus is a gating system. It's like saying "We have too many illegal immigrants in this country because Trump not only built his wall, he made many layers of fencing to go with it, which makes it easier than ever for them to get through. It was better when there was no wall. That did a better job of keeping them out."

(Not intended as political commentary. Hopefully just a readily relatable example of logic fail -- more fencing should not be worse for keeping out unwanted invaders.)
I've done #2 a number of times, and #1 is a great idea, too. If I keep him focused on #1, it'll be harder for him to hop the line.
Fuchsia Friday: ‘Cleo’ prototype likely a smart clock
How naive. Spotify playlists are now sponsored, so if they know what music you like and can predict what you will listen to in the next few days, they can offer playlists that you will likely play.

When I played music using iTunes or MPD, it would never take my list of favourite songs and then try to predict which sponsored playlist I'm most likely to click on. In exchange for access to music, you're giving up your own data and then not being able to easily replicate your music library elsewhere.

I wouldn’t dismiss your claims, but I’d have some questions. First, have you had genetic testing to confirm that you have CF? If so, then that completely rules out a misdiagnoses of something presenting with a similar set of symptoms. Second I’d be curious what form of the disease you have, since that make make your experience different from someone elses’.

Concerns I’d have with accepting your theory about CF as it applies to people other than yourself (I’m not doubting your own experience) is that mucus and pus are fundamentally different, and this has been studied. For example one area of study is using various drugs to break down a key component of mucous called mucins, and this is based on assays of CF mucus. You would expect pus to be composed primarily of dead tissue and immune cells, especially neutrophils. No one is going to mistake a slide of pus and a slide of mucus, and no one will mistake a spectrograph of the two either.

In support of your idea is that the genetic basis for CF is known and can be replicated in tests, and the pathological mechanism involving over absorbing calcium and sodium ions is also known and reproduced. BUT... it’s also known that overproduction of mucus is not related directly to CFTR! What that means is that the observed overproduction is a secondary result of the underlying condition. That leaves room for the literature to be correct (probably) without accounting for all expressions of the disease. In other words you could be right, and so could the researchers and doctors.

One thing that occurs to me is that a thicker mucus as expected with CF might still create the perception of dryness. Accumulations or blockages resulting from it would be the result of overproduction, but still lead to poor “delivery on target” so to speak. It doesn’t help if one’s vagina is effectively dry because instead of producting a slippery material, an overly viscous substance is produced. Maybe in some people the net result is a lack of mucus where it needs to be, spread around, and resulting infections. It could be that the prognosis for people with a form less associated with overproduction also leads to a better prognosis, because it’s fundamentally an easier problem to solve than other forms or expressions.

It’s an interesting idea, although I’m sorry that you have to live with it.
If you consider that the 200 years of record keeping we can rely on as fact, and then understand that the 200 years we have coverage for, just happen to be a really extraordinary period, your question is needling at perhaps the least valuable detail.

In fact, that detail is very obviously chosen for selfish reasons.

What percentage of that detail (the proportion of humanty’s fault and blame in evident destruction) would you say is selfish, versus merely rationally skeptical?

Engineers who don’t perform well for extended periods of time tend to drain resources from the rest of the team. They require active management; laborious code reviews, they also introduce more bugs and contribute to less robust designs. As for firing, it is a painful process for a manager as it comes with a variety of liabilities and HR involvement.

Yep and they are the suckers in the game that are building up the network and network effects.

If they sat down and tried to figure out the numbers, they would see that they need to aim for a decent-sized audience (10k followers? 100k followers?) that are actively interested in their Instagram posts and stories and will click through their profile to their website, links or email, or call or whatever.

This is why it's so important to measure the full customer journey, not just the vanity metric of "1 follow = 1 win!". You aren't a winner till the money's in the bank.

I got a similar hit on Wikipedia when I tried to start the article on a company, which happens to be a YC alum. I was just comparing VPS providers, I knew this company was in the space because of HN, and noted the hole in Wikipedia, so I started the article as a way to fill in my own knowledge. Ho. Lee. Sheeeit. There were some admins looking to grind serious axes about "commercial influence". Yet I was behaving more like Consumer Reports. Job got done, but wow.

Also, if you're looking to introduce types to an extant Javascript project, there's a good chance you're already using babel. That used to be a (slight) point in flow's favor, but as of Babel 7, you can opt to have Babel transpile your TypeScript. Not that there's anything wrong with tsc. :)
If you own a resource, you have incentive to preserve it. Or at least you have an incentive to not sell all it off now at a cheap price. If it's the only water where you live, this is especially true.

If you are a shareholder in a corporation set up to own the resource and you want to maximize your profit, you might sell your shares rather than push the corporation to dump all the water for cash now.

A recent study found that real restate agents take longer to sell their own houses than they take to sell other people's. Why don't they sell quick so they can have more cash quick? Because they know it pays to wait.

Every resource has a current value and future value. If a resource will fall in value over time, you'd want to sell it all now. If water is scarce in an area, this is very unlikely to be true, especially if its population is increasing.

>>> I would guess that each person has a somewhat unique motivation strategy.

Indeed, speaking only for myself, I don't think that I had the self discipline to carry through with such a plan as a teenager. I needed the classroom environment to learn math & physics, which became my college majors. At the same time, I was able to teach myself programming and electronics quite easily for some mysterious reason. And I ended up combining all of those things in grad school.

Also, I only had access to the books and resources of a typical suburb with a decidedly anti-intellectual culture. The officials at my high school refused to offer a calculus course because they said it would be "elitist."

Trying to get their "anti-vaping" curriculum in schools (aping what the tobacco industry did):

How is it easier to solve? It seems about as difficult to me, assuming the requirement is to maintain a high level of safety in all situations.
That’s true, and as a debate it’s not very fertile ground. On the other hand if we all go into this with an eye on sharing perspective rather than changing minds, it could be edifying. I’m pretty skeptical of political science theories, but they can be very compelling even as they lack the rigor of a true science. Moreover, the people who lead us definitely ascribe to these theories and this “science” and understanding their mindset has to have some value.

Besides, even if the conclusions can only have the strength of guesses and inferences, or just demonstrating historical patterns that can have value.
I don't agree at all. (Aside: I work with the author, so I am biased. We all are.)

Some relevant context:
- Despite your interpretation, we believe strongly in PR review outside of this narrow area. In our business, security and appropriate controls are a $BIG_DEAL and being able to say that every PR goes through a well-defined approval process (even if part of that process is automated) carries infinitely more weight than "developers force push whenever they feel like it."
- One of the benefits of auto-approval is that developers control when these kinds of changes are integrated. We thought about having a fully-automated process where changes in services automatically update this library and decided that this behavior wasn't desirable because many API changes need to be _coordinated_ with other changes. We want developers to be able to decide when to merge this kind of PR in conjuction with other PRs. (The alternative is a strong commitment to backwards compatibility at all times, which is not a constraint we're willing to impose on every developer at this time in our business. YMMV.)
- I honestly don't understand your comment around re-implementing a monolith, but I'd love to talk about it more since this is a topic I have many opinions about. My take is that micro-services should interoperate via HTTP APIs and that these APIs should be automated as much as possible. We do this by having our code generate Open API (aka Swagger) definitions based on our code and publishing the resulting schema at `/api/v[N]/swagger` in a deployed service. However, we still need a way for other services to to integrate with these APIs. So far, a "monolith" client library, updated in the way this post describes, has worked quite well. I am eager to hear about alternatives.

>My favorite conspiracy theory (which I totally believe) is that mattress stores are mostly for money laundering. No market can possibly support as many stores as there are, and every time I go by one, they're empty.

Here's more fuel for that fire.

If you look at Sears in the last 10 years, the number of shoppers seemed to dwindle and getting smaller and smaller. Except for a spots in each store, there wouldn't be many shoppers at all. So the economics don't make sense...and then bam they're going bankrupt.

Now look at rug stores; there are a few of them where I live (Toronto, Canada) and every single one, without fail, has very few customers and has a sale on. Usually it's "inventory clearance" or "going out of business" or whatever. But they just continue to sit there.

There are a lot of industries and niches in industries where the economics do not make sense on the surface but I suspect there's some perverse set of incentives that make it possible. Maybe some weird tax loophole, or some kind of government loan or grant, or some weird combination of laws (or lack of laws and regulation) that make it possible.

Embrace the weirdness?
> If Seattle can survive for a couple of weeks without a major chunk of its freeway system, that’s a powerful indication that more modest steps to alter road capacity don’t really mean the end of the world.

It's a little bit of a stretch. The problems people are facing due to road closures are not measured by images of Google maps. Just because complete gridlock doesn't happen doesn't mean that people aren't having significant problems because of it. People adapt but this article provides no real way to measure the cost.

Ok, I'll talk morals for a bit.

First off, not eating chickens doesn't make life any better for those chickens that are eaten, and no chickens live better as a result of not eating them. The best that can be said is less chickens live because they were never hatched from an egg specifically to be eaten.

Those Tyson chicken farmers are not torturing chickens, not by a long shot. They get good feed and fresh water and as much of that as they want. I don't know what you imagine chickens do all day when they're not in a barn, but I know what they do. All they do is eat, drink, crap, and screw, and by far most of their time is spent eating. They don't drink much and nothing I know of screws faster than a rooster, so that takes up almost none of their day.

And I can assure you that the lifespan of a free range chicken isn't very long. I know this because there are no wild chickens running around where I live, even though 1000s of acres of National Forest surround me and there are many people that raise them at home and farmers with huge barns full of them surrounding the National Forests here. And because I hatched and kept over 30 chickens myself last year and all of them got eaten by wild carnivores. Mostly fox. They're sneaky as can be.

I don't have a problem with those who don't eat meat, but if we're going to talk in terms of morals let's not kid ourselves or others by thinking that eating only veggies isn't taking "life". It is, and I just cannot kid myself into thinking that killing a tomato is less or more of an affront to God than killing a chicken.

There's really very little difference between raising tomatoes from seed and raising chickens from eggs. Both of those are living things and you have to kill them to eat them.

And I won't try to kid myself into believing that I'd not eat a chicken raised by those Tyson farmers if I were starving. I would, and fast too. And so would most everyone who feels a sense of moral superiority to those who eat chickens when they're not starving.

I'll probably piss some people off with this, but here it goes anyway... Chickens, and really pretty much every animal we raise to eat, are all fairly well packaged for eating. From cows to pigs to chickens and even fish of all sizes, they all are dressed out pretty much the same and it's a pretty simple and fast process to get them kitchen ready, and they taste good, and they make you feel good (as opposed to modern junk foods).

Here's another thing... Most everyone I know who's taken the life of any animal for food did so with a very reverent and thankful attitude. You think about that a lot more than you do when buy a taco at Taco Bell or a salad at a restaurant. I do the same when I take veggies from my garden because I know I'm taking life to sustain my own. I provide care and protection to both my veggies and my chickens and I give thanks when I take them to sustain myself and family and friends.

That's all any of us can do and the best we can do. There is no other way to live as a human.

I'm sorry, but no matter what you say, your experience on forums is not going to move my priors very much. Plenty of people hear plenty of things on forums. It's not an efficient way of obtaining reliable scientific knowledge. Every other person has their pet cause where they know better than doctors because they did X or Y and it helped, and they found other people on the internet who agreed with them. It's a common story, and 99.9% of the time it's incorrect.

People don't engage with you on this because it's pointless. You're not going to convince anyone who isn't predisposed to accepting your story, the same way a religious person who claims a divine experience isn't going to convince anyone who doesn't already want such a story to be true. In the same way, me telling Paul that he was probably hallucinating on the road to Damascus because he was dehydrated is not going to make him stop preaching the word of god. You don't have good evidence to present, besides hearsay about other internet people's anecdotal experiences. Read that last sentence. That type of thing is about three or four degrees removed from solid evidence. Surely you can understand how unconvincing this is going to be to a disinterested third party?
