KOMO TV in Seattle recently (last Sunday) did a big report on this called "Seattle is Dying." Down south in Portland, it's the same thing. Down in San Francisco...same thing. Down further, same thing. This is spreading quite quickly, all over in the big cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b53uiRFq4Ds
Are you Asian American? My point was that making it to the USA requires hard work, privlige, or money. It selects for a certain type of Asians and developed the stereotype.
Outside of basic research there is little to be done. We don’t have a good animal model, and human testing on a disease that takes 30+ years is almost hopeless without a much better understanding of what’s going on.
It's easy to side-step that. If someone argues that homosexuality is wrong because it's unnatural just incorporate the retort into the counter-argument: there are gay giraffes and necrophiliac ducks, and, while we're at it, lots of species that eat their own young. Do you really think we should be modeling our behavior on what is "natural"?
Show HN: Keyboardbattle – keyboard search and metric site
http://keyboardbattle.com/

I built some website showing keyboard data metrics by putting my time on weekends. It is neither fancy or has technical depth unlike other "Show HN"s yet, but hopefully, it will be via iterations. As a next step, I'm planning to add some Machine Learning stuffs (text-parsing on Amazon review) + user interactions on the website to get interesting insights.

Can I get any feedback? Thank you in advance.

News flash: we're all going to die, and time flies. At the typical retirement age of 65, most people have 10 or 15 years left.

I'd advise a sensible diet and enjoying life while you are young. Don't spend time ruminating about what might kill you when you're near the end of your life regardless.
Hispanics mostly just have to cross the US-Mexico border. Asians have to get across the Pacific somehow, usually through legal means with high barriers to entry, which is a great filter for the type of people that make it through to the US.

Also because of the communist crackdown on the gentry, most of Chinese emigrants were the well-off people, whereas in most cases emigrants from other countries are usually the poorer or less-well off segment of their populations.
I think a big problem is the advertised idea that a WAF can be "turn-key" and effective with defaults, which just doesn't work, + quality issues with at least some offerings. Making a WAF truly effective means to understand what actual traffic for the application looks like, and building a profile around that. Which is a lot more effort, and might mean the effort is better invested into other hardening measures.
> *naturalistic fallacy"

Well, showing that something exists in nature is much more factual and objective than debates will ever be over what people should and shouldn't do
The motivation behind the "it's not a choice" argument is that society can't reasonably enforce a rule that people can't follow. For example you and I are against Down's syndrome, but we can't make any progress by telling people to stop having it. Your friend's argument would not work at all against people who are against homosexuality, because their answer to all of those questions would simply be "no." The "it's not a choice" argument only makes sense if you put yourself into the shoes of the other side and ask the question "given the resources I have, how could I conclude that gay marriage was acceptable?"
It was a while ago, I don’t create new accounts for ban-escaping but for privacy reasons.
Ok in there you have a point. I ended up doing some more reading about this and saw this https://bigthink.com/politics-current-affairs/china-worlds-b...

So you are right with the nominal distinction, and if I was wrong about that, then the downvotes probably reflected that more than any opinion of mine.
I have no real desire to read it, although now that we are being told its objectionable and shouldn't be made available, I want to look at it.
one model for how it's going to work out is the US experience of stronger economic integration with China over the last 30 years. the EU should simply study in great detail the pros/cons of that history.

the analogy seems useful:

* China has the more united and disciplined central government, while the US had a more federalized, decentralized government, approximately like the EU.

* China has based its economic growth on exports, which is far less true of the US (and EU excluding Germany)

* China does not guarantee many (or any) economic rights to outsiders within its boundaries, whereas the US does. similarly the EU grants relatively strong rights, including government financial assistance and medical care, to outsiders within its boundaries

the simplest prediction is that it will turn out roughly the same way as it has for the US, and Germany, the EU zone's current main exporter, has the most to lose.
> it's just fun to point out to someone that even their ridiculous point is technically incorrect.

What's ridiculous is looking to the animal kingdom to judicate what's normal for human homosexuality in either direction. Lots of mammals eat their young, I wouldn't use this as evidence to normalize infant cannibalism.

What is the problem with people living in tents? Why are they forced to dismantle and kicked out by cops? It makes no sense. How can Americans be so cruel to the most vulnerable, most helpless people in our society that they won't even let them live in tents and insist on disrupting their lives constantly? What kind of sick society does this? Is it just so rich assholes don't have to look at them and be reminded that this is one consequences to them being rich? It's utterly disgusting and indefensible. These are real people just like everyone else, with emotions and feelings and hopes and dreams. Are Americans really that callous that they are impervious to the suffering of so many? Are they really that entitled and naive as to think that only people who can afford insane costs of living deserve to be treated with dignity and respect? The homeless don't hurt anyone just by living in tents. They are just trying to get by like everyone else. What is wrong with that?
I'm surprised that a range of existing drugs with neuroprotective capabilities haven't received more attention. The cynic in me says it's because many of them are cheap generics that have little financial upside for large pharmaceuticals.

As an example, a range of anticonvulsant drugs exhibit neuroprotective effects. Depakote appears to be the best studief of the lot for this, but that's not saying much.Something like lamotrogine has similar results with lower side effect profile. These are widely used drugs for diseases like epilepsy, but they are also used for a wide range of mental health diseases where psychosis and dementia are issues because they are very effective in those areas as well. A nice bonus in treating another disease with similar neuro symptoms.

This probably wouldn't be front-line treatment, but alongside amyloid reducing medications could form a powerful combination. The biggest obstacle might be the side effects, but judicial use in the earliest stages or in high risk poulations would probably be useful. The problem is right now the data is limited to very small studies or anecdotal case studies of individual patients that were treated off label.
I really have to read more about the steelman argument
>To be very clear: your accusation is false, there was never any special parentheses, and I invite an admin to confirm that if they can.

There were, I saw them, other people saw them, they were copied into eli_gottlieb's comment. His comment is flagged now, but it's still visible to some users. Whether an admin can or does confirm it is irrelevant.

Strategically Ignorant
It is worth pointing out that there have been several responses. China dominates the US' defence strategy.

One of the centrepieces of Obama's foreign policy was a comprehensive 'pivot to Asia', and the trans-pacific partnership free trade agreement. In fact, many argue that the Belt and Road Initiative is a response to the efforts of the US to contain China.

More recently, the Trump administration has assigned $60bn to the 'Overseas Private Investment Corporation', a US government agency that will use to the funds to underwrite far larger sums of private capital, and invest it around the world.

It is a long-standing part of US grand strategy to use India to balance against China, which lines up with the fact that the biggest investments of the new Silk Road have been to Pakistan.

India, Japan and various African countries set up the 'Asia-Africa Growth Corridor' a couple of years ago, a direct rival to the Belt and Road Initiative.

because we should, by default, let consenting adults do what they want together

Why? This strikes me as a very shallow moral principle. As 'presscast notes it completely misses the point of the nature of a life well-lived.

Ironically, in practice it goes against human nature. Atomized society of people passing each other indifferently is certainly freer in some sense but it's also lonely and depressing for many of its members. It goes directly against our most basic needs for social belonging.
I read it, it is interesting but it tells only a way to mitigate the disease, not to cure it.

The answer to C++ cruft always seems to be use the "modern" subset of the language. But there are three issues with that:

1. You have to interface with older libraries that overuse terrible behavior.

2. The hallmark of a junior developer is an overuse of features. Using a subset takes discipline.

3. Some things are just permanently broken or so hidden you don't even realize you are using a "feature".

That's why I'm just going to stick with Rust. I have no interest in the "let's put a wig and lipstick on the C++ pig" train.
Could the very same not be claimed about nearly all other non white ethnic groups?
Still - they prevail, some even doing better then the "evil" supressors- and are in turn discriminated against by affirmative action. Add to that a already frail ladder when it comes to upwards mobility, which also discards a lot of "white trash", which dont fit into this tale of victims and evil doers either and you end up with something that just doesent sound convincing.

Why should - beside the usual aristocratic supression of chance - single out the black ehtnicity for discrimination, when racism and jingoism & culture enthusiasm existed for every other ethnic group arriving in the US ?

Also was there not the option to leave free- and on there own accord? So staying was a choice made.

Interesting. In the past, I had never considered Singapore in this regard.
I agree, but as a gay ex-Mormon, I have seen that educating people about the (mostly) biological origin of homosexuality is the most effective way to break through people’s dogmatic shields and make them start empathizing with gay people.
It’s important to strike a balance though. We all know engineers and sysadmins who think that their value lies in the exclusive information/knowledge they have or data sources they control. Working with hoarders like that is toxic.

I'm not exactly sure what your point is? You're trying to tell me how hard the problem is? I never said the problem was easy, never offered a solution, or claimed there's a clear path to a solution.

Alzheimer's is an underfunded disease given the amount that it costs us in healthcare. I'm saying we should spend a lot more money and put someone in charge of the money who will spend it effectively.
Fine. Point being, 20 years sounds like a long time when you're 25. When you're 55 or 60, and reflect on how fast that time went by, 15 or 20 years doesn't sound like very long. Certainly not enough time to make up for a lifetime of denying yourself life's pleasures thinking you're going to make up for it when you're old.

Edit to add: none of us are guaranteed anything. You could get cancer and be dead at 40. Or younger. Avoiding reckless risks is one thing. Thinking you really have much control over diseases you might get in 40 years from now is another.
Health improvement and well-being during a 4 to 21-day fasting period (2019)
Could alzheimer's be more like cancer, where there are several variants and several causes? It seems like beta amyloid were looked at because they produce similar protein manifolding to prions. Other comments on here mention herpes (which is incredibly common. I've never had cold-sores, but dated enough people who have where I may just have it and not present, and it can't easily be tested for since it produced very similar antibodies to chickenpox).

Bill Gates, with the B&MGF, has a decent track record of finding and boosting low-cost solutions to chronic and systemic issues. Basically, choosing where to focus resources to the best effect.

> The economics of this has to do with marginal utility mainly and nothing to do with exploitation.

That's vacuously true when you simply ignore the existence of exploitative landlords (aka slum lords) who fail to maintain their units because they know that vulnerable populations lack the resources to fight back.
"Maintain eye contact."

Well, you naturally want to look a woman in the eyes if you are genuinely attracted to her, it's hard to resist.

If you need a manual on maintaining eye contact, you probably just want to have sex with somebody, if not with this woman, than with another one.

The creepy part is that this section in wiki teaches you to simulate feelings you don't actually have in order to get laid and this directly contradicts the earlier section about being genuine.

The bleak part is that if you need to simulate attraction to a woman you are missing something very good in your life.
Having had the same sort of thought, I believe what I was reacting to was the feeling that this idea seemed just slightly too convenient to be the result of entirely open-ended inquiry.

But then again I have seen the terrible devastation that was brought upon some less fortunate friends when they realised they were gay: teenagers driven into isolation (and, once, suicide) by their former "friends"; beloved members of their respective communities and/or families having to start from scratch, just because those communities happened to be "conservative".

I'm having a hard time believing anybody would choose such suffering with anything approaching a sensible definition of the term "free choice".

It's also important to remember that "born that way" is mostly just the headline of a more complex story of how sexuality is understood, one that even progressive activists wouldn't oppose. This sees homo/hetero-sexuality not as a binary choice, but as a spectrum. There's a set point you're born with. Then there's an overlay of culture–just think how much more acceptable it is for women to kiss than it is for men. Finally, there is some wiggle room any individual may experience over the span of their lives, or even just the span of a day given the right intoxicating substances.

This doesn't contradict the idea of inborn sexual orientation, because (see above) cultural and experiential factors are almost definitely not able to overcome biology for many. But it may help to overcome any cognitive dissonance you feel.
This debate, like most political debates that touch on philosophy, is amazing but impossible to conduct with the general public. It's the kind of thing you can only discuss with people who are already open to question certain norms.

Right in another thread is an article about a pacemaker. Almost nothing in a car, let alone in any electronic device, is untouched by human invention and chemical/physical transformation. Tradition — what "natural" ultimately amounts to — is prologue, not fate.
It does if you weight the chunks correctly. Combine pairs of numbers and keep a weight of the remaining odd number. Either cut the weight in half of the odd number every time or use it in the average if an iteration has an even number of numbers.
This is not really what the data shows. In the U.S., for example, the large majority of voters recognize global climate change as serious and impending problem. Where voters “don’t respond to climate change” is when they are asked if they’re willing to make general, probably painful changes in the name of potentially mitigating the effects of climate change. That shouldn’t be a surprise, though, since they exhibit the same pattern every time they’re asked about their desire to experience specific immediate pain toward the goal of reducing long-term deleterious effects.
Agree with this 100%! The one thing I always try to optimize for in life is ability to solve problems efficiently.

And in my mind this means empowering everyone else around me so they can build even more awesome tools and ideas.
I wonder if now is a good time to short some Netflix stock.
Very interesting. Our company just announced switching to Shopify from Magento (against my advice). We don’t use Mailchimp but this doesn’t sound good from the Shopify side.

And from some of the comments here, given that we have a highly customized Magento site (with deep integration to our ERP system) and 100K+ SKUs, I’m very worried what this will do to our site. I wouldn’t be surprised if our company will be shocked at the how limiting and expensive it will be.
This is a really good point, as someone who has seen first hand exactly how fast cheaper houses rent out vs more expensive ones, this point is very succinct.
It's not just rich assholes, a surprising majority of the population want all evidence of poverty out of sight in their lives.

Re BitMEX it wasn’t included in this report because the report focuses on spot markets but agree it’s very relevant and will be the topic of future research.

Re Huobi, there is strong evidence of material falsified
I think a lot of this is also landlords make up a smaller percentage of the market as you go up in price and when you get to a 1.8 million dollar home the rent will never justify costs to a landlord. Two facts cause this.

The first is it's always a better deal to live in a property than rent it out.(100% occupancy, no expenses to find tenants, no evictions, etc). Plus there are non-financial reasons people prefer to own. This means all things being equal owner occupiers almost always outbid landlords.

The second is high income individuals are more likely to be able to buy a home than low income individuals.

Basically what happens is in high income neighborhoods, owner occupiers(or developers) bid up the properties until it doesn't make financial sense for landlords to own them anymore. The returns just don't justify it, but the house might still be worth it for owner occupier because they get a better return and want to own a house or lock in neighborhood.

They are scuttled floating nuclear reactors at the bottom of the sea. These are real-life examples very similar to the scenario you are inquiring about. They have not corroded away and released wholesale nuclear waste after many decades. If that's not relevant to your line of inquiry then I must be totally misunderstanding you.

Perfect in layman’s terms. The Federal reserve keeps spewing the economy is so strong and nobody in the bond world is buying it, thus locking in the long term rates now (they’ll never admit a recession is coming, or blindly don’t know).

It’s interesting to note the now 60% of bonds are now inverted, it was just 50% a day ago!!!

Even if one was to say this is just one indicator look at Canada -50% inverted and housing bubble currently

It's a specific use case, but this exhaust heat is very useful.

Use the top side of the refrigerator as a delicate drier for damp things that cannot be tumble dried. Soggy umbrellas. Leather gloves (even shoes). Hats made sweaty from work or exercise.

Put them on the top of the fridge overnight and IME by morning they are just about perfectly dried out.
I personally struggle at times to grasp some concepts being a first generation immigrant does have some effects but it’s also the lack of a deeper level of communication. Seeing something like this spelled out in front of me with every single little point about a person’s life choices is actually a really interesting way of peeking into someone else’s mindset. So thanks for sharing.
I'm sorry, but the safety features in question here were software upgrades. The incremental cost to Boeing to add it to every aircraft during manufacturing would be negligible.

Yes, both Netflix and Spotify are in a tough position where their rivals (Apple and Amazon) have a much larger war chest to chip away at the market leaders of both movies and music streaming.
