>Enjoy your iPhones, Ubers, taskrabbits, doordashes and Amazon's that are all predicated on exploiting legal loopholes and turning a profit until they get big enough that politicians overlook or change laws to accommodate them for a piece of the pie.

Don't know about the others, but my iPhone was sold to me as tech that worked well, from version 1, and that I wanted (wouldn't go as far as to say needed).

So, there's that. Not sure what the link to Theranos is.
Honestly men probably shouldn't be put in a position to be able to tamper with things like this. The evolutionary advantageous temptation is too great.

Similarly, to solve a related problem, we should require mandatory paternity testing at birth so men don't unwittingly raise someone else's child.
Couldn't agree more. The withdrawl severity very much depends on the person and if tapered slowly, it's not bad (it wasn't for me). Cannabis can help there temporarily also. Benzos are awful after awhile due to tolerance and mostly the negative effects persisting.
> That isn't rich in most people's book

Depending on the part of the nation you're talking about. In much of the nation, exceeding 100k makes you unambiguously wealthy. In other areas, you'd have a hard time living anything more than a squarely middle class lifestyle on that.

It's not about "playing games", it's that economic conditions vary so wildly across the nation that you can't accurately characterize what's "rich" and "poor" using the same scale everywhere.

That's why I say that determining "rich" and "poor" is a difficult thing to do.
Sure, was just curious where Datomic's EAV, AEV, AVE, VAE indexes fall between Datomic indexing impl detail and general Datalog indexing solution.

Datalog is fascinating, but the blog post makes me curious about more concrete impl-related follow-up questions.
I considered going retro and getting a Nokia 3310, but 2G only was the show stopper.
People are going to say Bangalore, but Bangalore today is pain in the ass to stay in.

It has all the problems that India already faces (density, unsanitary conditions, rising pollution) and outdoes almost all other big cities on commutes. Easily the worst traffic in the country.
It does have a great tech industry and weather though.

If I had to go back, I would go to Mumbai (Western Suburbs or South Bombay), because that's where I grew up. Also, the new metro and road projects have potential to solve transportation in India. (though completion is maybe 10 yrs away)

_______________

I personally, meant townships like Lavasa (or what it was intended to be. It became a holiday home / Indian cape cod instead).
A place where the city could be designed from ground up, and some of the common problems of every Indian city would be avoided by design.
They are much cleaner with better air and urban design. It legitimately feels like you are in a developed country.

IMO, Nagpur would have been well positioned to become that, had it not had such terrible weather.
It has decent amenities, excellent educational institutions (IIIT, NIT, IIM, AIIMS), Good public transport (with the metro and new roads), a new SEZ, a new airport and doesn't have any other major negatives.

Gurgaon's cyber-city and Noida were other totally botched attempts at this. Terribly bloated, copied the worst aspects of American urban design and left zero opportunities for any organic growth of culture in the area.

I can see Goa with BITS's presence, the weather and cosmopolitan nature being well poised for such a development. However, unlike Nagpur I've yet to see any attempt being made to urbanize that region.
Navi Mumbai and Powai had a similar opportunities to build themselves from the ground up, but both have become more natural suburbs of Mumbai rather than entities in and of themselves.

But the important question is, do the countries pay their fines?
yes it is. hilbert has no claims to originating the theory of general relativity, and he had been talking with einstein before this, even inviting him to give talks. einstein already had the ideas of general relativity much earlier than when he, and hilbert, finally published his final theory. hilbert simply had a better command of the mathematics and was able to put things together once einstein had already come up with the physical theory and much of the mathematics.

in fact, einstein was originally a little annoyed with hilbert in that he felt hilbert tried to come in at the end and shore up the final mathematics before einstein could. it isn't as though hilbert was working independently during this time, independently discovering general relativity.
I think you still observe this with the benefit of the hindsight of what you know already killed 350 people.

However:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19420964

"pilots and aviation experts say that what happened on the Lion Air flight doesn’t look like a standard stabilizer runaway, because that is defined as continuous uncommanded movement of the tail."

"On the accident flight, the tail movement wasn’t continuous; the pilots were able to counter the nose-down movement multiple times."

"In addition, the MCAS altered the control column response to the stabilizer movement. Pulling back on the column normally interrupts any stabilizer nose-down movement, but with MCAS operating that control column function was disabled."

And do you really agree with the simplified interpretation like:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19424761

"two pilots fell out of the sky to their deaths and it simply never occurred to them to try pulling back hard."

I still believe that the way the airplane behaved in these two cases was exactly the opposite of what the pilots have been trained in their flights and in the simulators, and that the behavior was counter intuitive and unexpected to them and that that is the only reason they weren't able to save themselves.

Good UI is not trivially obvious. And it really makes a difference between the life and the death in certain use cases. And thinking about something in the safety of your armchair is very different from "having the plane that is doing exactly what you don't expect and then you die." The plane behaving the very way you haven't been trained in the simulations before.

Finally, I believe that all the issues reported here

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/faile...

contributed to the manifestation that turned out to be deadly:

"The safety analysis:

- Understated the power of the new flight control system, which was designed to swivel the horizontal tail to push the nose of the plane down to avert a stall. When the planes later entered service, MCAS was capable of moving the tail more than four times farther than was stated in the initial safety analysis document.

- Failed to account for how the system could reset itself each time a pilot responded, thereby missing the potential impact of the system repeatedly pushing the airplane’s nose downward.

- Assessed a failure of the system as one level below “catastrophic.” But even that “hazardous” danger level should have precluded activation of the system based on input from a single sensor — and yet that’s how it was designed."

Interestingly and tangentially, the software people particularly like to blame the user. I've worked in many teams wit more people almost automatically dismissing any user input. But the users are, in fact, typically right in a sense that they often have the real world problems that are simply not recognized by the designers/developers assuming infinite knowledge and the infinite time the user has.
I've been using the LG Xpression C410 for years: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YRDCLIU

But I'm not really sure what's out there now to compare it to. I never used anything else. This one deals with calls and texts fairly well and I charge it about twice a week with a low amount of texting and very few calls. I don't use it for anything else.

I also dropped it once from chest height and nothing bad came from it. It's built like a tank.
Second Foundation also came out in 1949, before the stored-program computer was invented. Computers at the time were room-sized electromechanical devices used for codebreaking or artillery calculations; there were no more than a dozen or so in the world, the general population was unaware of them, they couldn't be used interactively, there were no plans to use them for text (a typical diary entry wouldn't have fit into the EDSAC's memory anyway), and the idea that a computer could fit in your pocket and let you edit anywhere within a document probably seemed stranger than the idea of spaceflight.
I think if you're studying science and logic, then you should definitely have a curiosity regarding the foundations of your field. But is that really something we can expect the general public to get involved in? It's a hugely mindbogglingly complex topic.

For the average person to look at the scientific method, conclude it (at least mostly) works and believe in the fundamentals of the process, I think, is a good thing.

"Introduction

1. Twitter is an information content provider. Twitter creates and develops content, in whole or in part, through a combination of means: (a) by explicit censorship of viewpoints with which it disagrees, (b) by shadow-banning conservatives, such as Plaintiff, (c) by knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform, (d) by completely ignoring lawful complaints about offensive content and by allowing that content to remain accessible to the public, and (e) by intentionally abandoning and refusing to enforce its so-called Terms of Service and Twitter Rules – essentially refusing to self-regulate – thereby selectively amplifying the message of defamers such as Mair, Devin Nunes’ Mom and Devin Nunes’ cow, and materially contributing to the libelousness of the hundreds of posts at issue in this action.

2. Twitter created and developed the content at issue in this case by transforming false accusations of criminal conduct, imputed wrongdoing, dishonesty and lack of integrity into a publicly available commodity used by unscrupulous political operatives and their donor/clients as a weapon. Twitter knew the defamation was (and is) happening. Twitter let it happen because Twitter had (and has) a political agenda and motive: Twitter allowed (and allows) its platform to serve as a portal of defamation in order to undermine public confidence in Plaintiff and to benefit his opponents and opponents of the Republican Party. In this case, Twitter contributed materially to the illegal conduct of defamers Mair, Devin Nunes’ Mom and Devin Nunes’ cow. Twitter, by its actions, intended to generate and proliferate the false and defamatory statements about Plaintiff in order to influence the outcome of the 2018 Congressional election and to intimidate Plaintiff and interfere with his important investigation of corruption by the Clinton campaign and alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election. Twitter knowingly acted as a vessel of opposition research."
Canada and the USA also have national Do Not Call laws, and telemarketers are not allowed to cold call numbers that are on the list (in Canada, there are certain exceptions such as local newspapers selling subscriptions, charities soliciting donations, and companies that do telephone surveys, e.g. Ipsos-Reid). It works, too, because I never, ever receive legit telemarketing calls.

But the DNC list doesn't do anything to stop phishing/scam calls because apparently criminals don't care about DNC laws (obviously). They always spoof local numbers, but never have a caller ID name. This means I can pretty safely ignore all calls without caller ID names, unless I'm expecting a call.

The problem is, these scammers spam voicemail inboxes too, and on my phone and carrier (Android on Koodo in Canada) the only way to dismiss the "New Voicemail" notification is to call my voicemail number and listen to it. I don't care about voicemail, so I disabled it.
My experience with adopted children:

- It matters a lot to some

- It matters a a bit to most

- It matters little to none to some

The quotes from the article seems to confirm this. To pile on to that anecodotal eveidnce, here's another quote from an adoptee I know:

"Just because I know I'm way better off being raised by [adoptive parents] doesn't mean I don't feel abandoned by [biological parents]"

[edit]

And at least from a biological standpoint, since your brain was evolved for the sole purpose of aiding in spreading the genes you posses, it makes sense that it would matter to your brain.

I’m in Tokyo right now for work (my startup NumberBoost won an innovation competition with NTT Japan) and it’s so wild how simultaneously forward and backward things are here.

On the one hand, there are so many things they do here that make me feel like they’re in the future. On the other hand, every fifth person has a flip phone, the WiFi sucks, you can’t buy a travel SIM card at the mall, and there are CD/DVD stores everywhere.

I can’t help but feel part of their problem is how unwilling most local Japanese people I’ve met here are to break the rules.

Thanks for the correction. I was really just going by what I've heard from colleagues, but my specialty is network security and the requirements may (or may not) be stricter there.
Determinism is an idea of physics based on unchanging God/reality, but science is more general. Science can work without determinism, there are probabilistic / statistical methods, or hypotheses of effective physical laws changing in time. In quantum experiments, things happen at whims of nature and some such experiments do not produce similar results when repeated, but look random.

Do you really think it's at that scale? I see that some adversity in life actually makes me better and some does not. It really depends on how hard it is to overcome each individual hurdle.

Keeping with the analogy of hurdles. It's like, successful startup is a 20 ft wall. Deciding to workout 3x a week is a 3ft hurdle. Getting a fitbit and targeting more walking is like a 2ft hurdle (my scales not everyone's). Getting over loneliness due to not having a cell phone is a 5 ft hurdle. It'd require getting out of the house a lot more and that anxiety can be crippling. If that was a goal of mine I'd train for it just like a marathon. You don't start by running the whole thing in the first week, you start with increasingly large goals.

I totally agree that blindly saying adversity is good, is a crazy over simplification. I also think we (if you are in top 60% of tax brackets just to really bound that statement) have it exceptionally easy in the USA and that we are all capable of much more than we think we are.

Not everyone can do a startup, but many of us have lost the concept of setting a goal and pushing ourselves (myself included).

Thanks for calling me out. A quote from T. R. could be seen as snarky as well. This really is a personal thing. I should have really put a caveat that this applies to me. Just me. I think more people would benefit from the mentality, but I also don't believe in a society that pushes artificial adversity to "make people better" that'd be bad.
This kind of thing is why the "NPC" meme and other dehumanizing language is so dangerous. Everyone is a person with a story, achievements, fears, and family. Often really surprising.

I’m not in US, which is probably why I dream of your rates.

Our government policy (Ontario Canada) is to ask insurers how to reduce premiums, then the government lets them reduce/cap benefits and premiums go up anyway.

It’s one of the many markets we would open to more competition. A lot of US insurers would salivate at our rates.
For example good luck getting mayonnaise with your fries at any of the fast food chains here. They have mayonnaise and they put it on burgers but they “CANNOT” give (or sell) it to you in a separate container for your fries.
Mine as well, although I think the amount is a bit higher. It has to match the amount of liability insurance that you'd otherwise be required to carry, because you're essentially self-insuring.
Maybe if each caller be required to pay a few cents per call, mass robocalling will be too expensive. Same for email spam: charge an e-stamp of a cent or two. I'd be willing to pay a bit to keep out riff raff.

Not sure about one woman's eggs in another woman, but this is certainly true of an anonymous sperm donor. In order to have the lowest chance of pre-eclampsia the woman needs to have been exposed vaginally to the man's semen for six months. Donor sperm children thus have higher rates of pre-eclampsia in pregnancy.
