> a few rockstars make $100k

My problem with this narrative is that I have never worked somewhere where the "10x rockstar" was actually that, or wasn't also toxic in some other way. All we have here are competing versions of anecdata about high-vs-low performers.

I also take issue with the reverse causation you seem to imply - that somebody making 60k is a low performer. That seems to assume that companies are good at actually identifying performance and compensating fairly for it.

You know that for a fact, really? With billions and billions of planets in the universe, you know that for a fact?

That's a pretty rich position for someone claiming he's an agnostic, "someone who doesn't know".

Any observation is consistent with an infinite number of models. Eg., your sight is defective, ie., in many cases: your sample is biased, not big enough, etc.

And that A correlates with B, or fails to, to "some significance" is consistent with any causal relationship between A and B.

If one were to scan all the IPv4 internet for broken/exposed UPnP service to target, they could then use IPv4 to craft a special message instructing the service to phone home to an IPv6-only domain. If the client has IPv6 enabled and the phone-home goes through, it is determined that there is a link from broken/exposed IPv4 UPnP to a potentially unknown IPv6 address. This gives a new set of previously unknown IPv6 addresses. These IPv6 addresses can now be scanned for other vulnerabilities.
Good sources of health information exist outside of doctors. Lots of governments, health insurance providers, colleges, and so on have good information.

Not to mention pharmacists, nurses, and the like.

And, of course, doctors. Why the heck would you trust an ad for a medical advice over a doctor - or set of doctors - giving you care after having been educated in the medical field well longer than yourself?

There is also a slew of information the general public doesn't really understand. Like why New Shiny Drug X isn't really an improvement for you than Slightly Older Shiny Drug S. Or why the doctor is leaning towards disease X instead of Y even though the symptoms are similar.

And then there is the bottom of the barrel. The outright dangerous stuff. David Avocado Wolf, for instance. The "Clean Eating" bandwagon. Being vegan without proper nutrition information, which is often lacking in the material. Or anti-vaccine movements that claim measles are good for folks, lying to say it prevents cancer. If you are lucky, you'll just wind up with one of the "cures" that aren't cures, but not actually harmful. Airborne for colds, for example, or most homeopathy that actually is. Or you might get mildly unlucky and wind up pregnant for not realizing St John's Wart can interfere with birth control. Or maybe Zicam will cause loss of the sense of smell.

Considering this last bits of information... yeah, I wish folks would only get their information from accredited medical professionals (though this includes more than doctors).
Just to add, since I didn't speak about the differences between (1) and (2) or (3) and (4):

You have to use (4) if (and only if) you're going to use a resolvconf(8) implementation other than systemd-resolvconf. For example, I use dhcpcd; for kinda silly reasons dhcpcd and systemd-resolvconf don't work together, so I'm stuck using openresolv as my resolvconf(8) implementation. So I have to use (4). If you're fine using systemd-resolvconf, you should use one of the other 3 modes.

I'm honestly not sure why you would ever use (2) instead of (1). It's like (1), except search paths won't work right for programs that don't use the system APIs. (Maybe it existed before (1) did, and still exists for historical compatibility?)

Can’t be charged while being used? Who cares? They last long enough. 1 out of 50 times I wear them they run out of battery. Charging them takes 5 minutes, so it’s not a big deal.

Also, the whole point is that they’re wireless. If you don’t care about this specific feature it’s no wonder you don’t see them as an improvement.

Okay, this has nothing to do with the article. This is meta discussion.

Can we please have comments more substantiated than "Ban them all"? I remember when HN actually had interesting discussion, and wasn't just a peanut gallery. Comments like these are incredibly uninteresting, and only contribute to HN's increasing reputation as a reddit-esque echo chamber.

@dang I'm hoping you can weigh in here, I'd really like to know what the mod team thinks about these kinds of comments (if they're worthwhile to have on the site), and I'm sure you're a more authoritative source on if they're becoming more common or not.
This is pretty fun, the story behind the history of this op amp has had so many analogs throughout the history of Silicon Valley. Smart people working on projects moving from company to company and sparking new innovation which is carried on etc. It was hearing stories like this that convinced me that I wanted to live in Silicon Valley when I graduated from college.

The other thing I liked about this story is that now that I am working at a place building radios I can better appreciate how going to extreme lengths with the chips on ceramic substrate can lead to lower noise and thus more sensitive amplifiers and filters. I would have loved to see the kind of wire-bonder and pick-and-place hybrid thing that assembled these parts. That had to be pretty impressive to watch.
This does not work (answer and silence).

All good robo calls have voice/presence detection.

What I did to solve my problem:

1. Answer the call;

2. Dial 1 to renew my "extended warranty" for the car I don't have.

3. Indian guy answers;

4. I say " Gimme gimme Money, all of it for free. OOOohhhhHH yes baby"

5. They hang up

Once your number is flagged as "crazy/do-not-call" all others robocalls/scam will stop.
Mostly all robocalls I was getting were from scams like "window virus removal" or "extended warranty for your car".

Once you get a real person and ask for free unconditional money and that you deserve it because you are a nice person.

They get out of script and remove you.

I went from 2-3 calls a day to none.

Ps. Not proud.

Number is not on do-not-call list.

I wouldn't go that far. IGF-1 which is released due to the consumption of protein (particularly leucine) has been shown to be responsible for increases in mTOR signaling which is a nutrient sensor responsible for initiating cell growth in some forms of cancer, see this study for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4392529/.

In effect, leucine and IGF-1 increases mTOR signalling which is responsible for growth, the opposite effect of calorie restriction (which turns off mTOR and has been shown to reduce the growth of cancer).

Not actually needed. Getting high enough res to replace monitors with small fonts does require a big increase in resolution, but rendering a virtual desktop requires a lot less computation per pixel than rendering a game with lighting and shading.

That would be my concern. But there are so many factors, I'd like to see some scientific measurement.
My understanding from theology classes a long, long time ago is as follows:

- Atheist: Believes there is no God.

- Agnostic: Doesn't know/isn't sure/doesn't care if there is a God.

- Anti-theist: Is against the mere idea that there is a God.

That may have changed in the intervening decades, and with the rise of the internet, the term "atheist" seems to have changed in popular culture, often to suit a particular person's views or vocabulary. A lot of internet atheists strike me as anti-theists. But that's not a common term.

Taking it further, it's because when we offer goodwill, we want it to have strings attached. When you support someone else through charitable donations, you want certain restrictions on it.

For example, I don't want to support some kids' religious education, because I think religion is a form of handcuffs. When we give to a homeless person, we don't want it used for drugs.

In general, we want our giving to support our values. With other people's children, especially children in a different socioeconomic group, that's unlikely.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't feel the need for such realism in video games. Ray tracing is an awesome technology for things like pre-rendered video, but real time raytracing that takes up a huge portion of the graphics card computational power seems like a waste. I'd rather see more frames per second at higher resolutions.
Am I missing something? This doesn't really seem all that great compared to what we have been shown with Ray Tracing.
The fact that it's not even real time but pre-rendered makes it even less wow-ing for me
I hate the clickbait title. I hate how it will be misunderstood. I hate that the subtleties in his statement will be ignored.

And to the people who care about this, his claim about atheism is pedantic.

"I do not believe aliens abducted my dad."

Sorry, but that's a perfectly rational thing to say, in all but the most academic of circles.

In every-day life, I don't need to be so cautious as to say, "I have no evidence that aliens abducted my dad."

Drawing a distinction between those two is a waste of time, and some in the theist crowd will point to this and say, "Scientific American says denying God is inconsistent with the Scientific Method!"

This will do harm in the real world, and not any good in the academic world.

You know what else I say?

F=ma

I know about quantum mechanics and relativity, thanks.

I don't need a Scientific American article telling me, breathlessly, that "F=ma is false!"

In context, F=ma is a perfectly valid thing to say.

Imagine if Scientific American had a headline: "Earth Is Not Round". [1]

Isn't that an awful clickbait title? Does the content of the article really inform anyone who actually cares about the subject?

I'm not going to go to a GIS Conference and declare, "The world is ROUND." That would be moronic.

I'm not going to get drawn in to a discussion, "Yes, it's possible the world actually IS flat, but has only appeared to be round so far to all of the experiments I'm aware of."

F=ma. The world is round. I believe God doesn't exist.

YouTubers Are Fighting Algorithms to Make Good Content for Kids
It’s an interesting question. It’s not only how local the farm is, it’s also the type of farming practices. Not every small farm is going to farm sustainably. However, most big farms today do not farm sustainably. Farming meat at the scale demanded by consumers today means lots of derforestation and soil erosion, which means more carbon in the atmosphere. Of course, there are ranchers out their who farm sustainably — but again, exceptions to the rule.

My guess is that this level of consumption can’t be sustained, environmentally. Buying from small farms would likely be more expensive, which would in turn lead to a decrease in consumption.
the idea of the p-value is a useful and reasonable one. it's a good statistical tool that can help you tell whether your results are due to something real in the world or just dumb luck.

the problem is people leaning on it too heavily and especially obsessing over the 0.05 threshold: so that p=0.049 means your result is statistically significant, you get a paper published and a press release and tenure, while p=0.051 means failure and penury.

the article is arguing specifically against this latter practice, of "bucketing" things according to some cutoff which was literally made up arbitrarily by Ronald Fisher.

This seems easy to reducio to "you can't disbelieve anything you're not empirically measuring right this second!" without even going too far down the epistemological rabbit hole.

I was about to say more or less the same thing. The way people define the word "atheism" has changed.

Traditionally, most people understood "atheism" to mean a positive disbelief in God – either, you are certain God doesn't exist, or at least you think the non-existence of God is significantly more likely than God's existence. People who are close to 50-50 on God's existence would call themselves "agnostics" not "atheists".

In the last few decades, there has been an increasing tendency to define "atheism" as a mere absence of positive belief in God, so that the 50-50 folks get classified as "atheists" as well.

To read Geisler's remarks charitably, I think we have to keep in mind that he is likely using the older definition of "atheism" rather than the newer one.

I'm not sure I agree with you.

By my understanding an atheist would accept the claim "there is no god"

An agnostic rejects both "there is a god" and "there is no god"

I do like the way of framing these belief systems as "what claims do you accept as true", though, I'm going to start using that to help me describe and frame my own beliefs!

> And by doing that, by understanding how science advances, science really becomes a deeply spiritual conversation with the mysterious, about all the things we don’t know.

Seems like this might be the central point. You may or may not be able to rationally justify atheism, but that's besides the point. If you want to do science, you have to cultivate your feeling that the world is mysterious and that there's a lot left to discover. To so that, you need to be open to a variety of interpretations of the world. Atheism might be fine for a philosopher who wants to figure out what is rationally justified, but for a scientist, you need to keep your mind open to stay creative.

For me, the best argument against atheism is that it's boring. I get to choose my attitude toward the stuff that we can never know. Why not choose the more interesting choice (i.e. agnosticism)?

> The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

This is a common trope, but it's wrong in many cases. The absence of evidence for leprechauns/unicorns/bigfoot/etc. is in fact evidence of absence of these things. Likewise, the absence of evidence for gods is in fact evidence of absence of at least certain kinds of gods. In particular, it is evidence of the absence of gods that interact with the universe in certain meaningful ways. Evidence cannot rule out passive observer gods, like the deist deity, but that is generally not what is at issue when disputes of this sort arise.
