>To put it another way: the basic features of human life are universal. Stress, betrayal, love, trust, anger, loneliness, etc.

Money can alleviate many of those problems -- it's just not a magic want to fix everything.

Stress for example: you can be stressed for rent, for the cost of medical emergencies, for providing for your kids, etc. If you're rich, you don't need to stress for any of that. Not only that, you also don't end up homeless, broke after a surgery, and so on. Nor do you have to skip meals.

And when money problem come in, even real love and familial relationships (not based on gold-digging) are stressed. Tons of families break and argue about money problems, especially in recessions etc.

>It doesnt really matter how pretty your rooms are or how much you own, the fundamentals don't change in their existence, only in their proportion.

Sure, you will still die, get lonely sometimes, or have friends betray you like a rich person. But that's what's common, how about what's much more difficult? If you want to become a scientist but can't afford to go to college, and can't even afford a scholarship because you need to work at the family farm and help the family, it does matter.

And that's just one of myriads of examples. How about being lonely, not because you're anti-social or can't get friends, but because you're working 12 hours a day in some sweatshop? Or you're a single mother juggling two shitty jobs?

Those are all common situations. And not just in some third world either.
> $406 billion!!!

Yeah, the government should give that money back to the people instead! Bring them out of poverty!

Except it already does, right? When we spend money on our military (or NASA, or other things) that money goes right back into the economy and creates hundreds of thousands of jobs. And then those people spend money and create other jobs, etc etc etc.

I don't necessarily think that building killing machines is the best way to bring vast numbers of people out of poverty, but it does do that to an extent by creating those jobs.

No matter what economic system you favor, things always ultimately come down to job creation in some form or another.

It is. Lost sleep is a snowball. It's very easier for bipolars in a manic or even hypomanic state to sleep 5, 4, 2 hours a night and feel well-rested and ready to pull weights.

But diagnosed bipolar people know this. This is potentially harmful advice because many people may not know they have a latent bipolar disorder that hasn't manifested yet. In my parent comment I gave a histogram of the age of onset of one's first episode -- it's well possible to be a nondescript software engineer in one's early 40s and literally go crazy.

Of course, your proposal also has merits, so people should weigh risks and benefits. Also note family history, history of depression, etc. which are also risk factors.

I’m a Netflix, Prime, and iTunes user so those were the first places I looked. Maybe it’s a region thing but it’s not actually viewable on Netflix, at least not in the US.

(This appears to be a recent change by Netflix where they list movies that can’t actually be viewed. Another example of a movie listed by Netflix but not viewable there is the documentary “The Wrecking Crew” - https://www.netflix.com/title/70105364)

This movie really doesn’t seem to be legally streamable. I found a supposed Bluray rip of it via TPB, and an HN reader emailed me links to a couple very poor quality DVD rips on various sketchy web sites, and there’s some even worse quality CD sized rips on Usenet. The physical media is no longer for sale, and I’m not sure it was ever released to BR, the torrent I found (and still transferring) notwithstanding.

Seems odd to define a thing by how it's packaged and consumed rather than the content itself. An episodic internet radio show doesn't stop being a podcast just because you're listening to it through winamp.

> That's why I call it big-number calculation: manual carry/overflow handling, larger-than-register size operands, tedious indexing/bug prone if coding from scratch, ... but of course you can still argue that it is not "big."

Its not a general big-integer implementation which can be arbitrarily sized. Since you know all results fit inside of 192 bits, and that all operands are less than 64-bits, you can easily code for this special case.

192-bit x 64-bit is way easier to debug and test than 192-bit x 192-bit. Its probably the bulk of your work, but I don't foresee any major complication here. Its just grade-school arithmetic.

struct cube{
long long val[3];
}

cube multiply(cube x, long long y){
cube toReturn;
toReturn.val[0] = x.val[0] * y;
toReturn.val[1] = x.val[1] * y + __umul64hi(x.val[0] * y);
toReturn.val[2] = x.val[2] * y + __umul64hi(x.val[1] * y);
return toReturn;
}

This is grade-school arithmetic level. This isn't very difficult at all. The only thing you needed to know is that CUDA has an intrinsic to take the top 64-bits of a 128-bit multiplication.

Without any if-statements, the GPU can calculate the above across different threads without any divergence. You can likely optimize this further with MAD instructions, but the above would be a good "first step" towards this problem.

As I said earlier: this wouldn't be an "easy" port, but it would be possible, and it would likely be very efficient. I'm not going to think through all the edge cases, but the bulk of the algorithm seems very easy to do efficiently on the GPU architecture to me.
The most surprising conclusion was about the final plot discussed, regarding scientific publications. The author says that it contains too much information and is confusing for that reason, and postulates it might be better to summarize the different fields and plot as a single variable.

The truth is, it is not a confusing visualization. There is no rule that says to remove variables for the sake of reducing a variable count. It is useful to see that health sciences stands apart from other fields, and other points can be seen as a cluster or examined more deeply by the reader. It is actually one of the best plots shown in the entire article.

In effect it is a grouped bar chart, a visualization that many publications shy away from in favor of stacked bars. While that is good for showing a total, it is often a less effective way of visualizing data—it's difficult to compare magnitude of anything but the base bar. That fault can be seen in the stacked bars of the budget surplus example, which still exists for the improved version.

At any rate, I'm glad the Economist is looking to improve their visualizations and isn't afraid to share mistakes.

For instance with audio in general, we've seen lots of pushes toward streaming rather than downloading, which allows the platform to control when, where, and how people listen.
I have.

A right way to live with children is of course different from without children, but I don't think the two are incompatible?

In fact, I think having children is helpful in improving your own attitudes, because it can be really put you to the test.

I also think it can be helpful to have some kind of idea of what being a good human entails. For instance, instead of yelling "Don't do that!" I sometimes manage to ask "How does X look like? Are they happy?"

Of course, one must respect that children have their own lives and are starting afresh - the set of values we've determined for ourselves isn't necessarily something we should interpret too strictly in the context of a child who hasn't yet had the chance to experience the world.

This question -- if it is a safety feature, why is it acceptable that it can it be disabled -- comes up a lot, so I think we should recognize that, in general, there is an answer, though whether it was the right answer for MCAS goes a step beyond.

Whenever you have something that would usually improve safety, but which presents a risk if it fails, then the rational response is to ask whether it demonstrably improves safety overall. This calculus depends on how much it improves safety when working, how much harm it does when failing, and how likely it is to fail. These considerations can be modified by limitations on operations both when things are working and when they fail, as is the case of twin-engined aircraft use on trans-oceanic flights.

If, in addition, this thing can be disabled, the principle is the same, but there are more cases: what are the chances it be disabled even though working, or (as in this case) not be disabled when failing.

Disabling MCAS does not itself put an airplane in a dangerous situation, it merely increases the risk somewhat. The part of the analysis that seems to have been flawed is that covering the risk introduced when it fails but is left engaged.

That seems too cheap. For many routes and cars, if you even half-fill the car, you're paying less per person than you would for an ordinary ticket on that route.
> Reading from the content:// URI is a little different than from a file://

I haven't found the reading part to be different, but getting the uri has changed from Uri.fromFile() to their FileProvider package. Which, requires quite a bit of setup in comparison.

To be fair, it's documented well on the Android developer site.
So you think the MCAS system is the only deadly surprise the 737 Max has in store?

I'm not comfortable making that assumption, especially after learning more about Boeing's decision-making process and the way they misled the FAA.

> Response time is key. An F-16 hauling ass from Al Udeid will give me more than an A-10 hauling ass from Al Udeid.

Why would the A-10 (Or a light attack aircraft) be hauling ass from there instead of already being in the air near the AO since it has a lot more fuel and loiter time (and lower cost per flight hour)? Or being closer since they can launch from more austere airfields.

Also, I have read articles:

* Quoting JTACs saying dialling in the fast movers afer their arrival takes a lot longer than a slow-mover in a near-contact situation which can be a serious issue (and large removes the "haul ass" 8-minute rule advantage)

* Quoting army captains saying the loiter time is so low after the fast movers have arrived that enemy forces basically learned to stop the attack for 30 minutes then resume after the fast-mover has had to go to the nearest tanker to refuel.

I can maybe see the F-35's sensor suite helping with the first one but not the second (Unless it is so good that it can reliably find targets on the ground even when the JTAC cannot be sure).

Or when I read about Special forces literally having to do end-runs around official policy to get some A-29s to support them because the existing kit wasn't doing the job.

I am not an "A-10 forever" type but I find the "F-35 solves EVERYTHING" crowd to be a bit over-zealous and I have read enough about issues with the Airforce (brass especially) and its relationship with the CAS/COIN role to make me wonder about their ability to evaulate without bias.

I really like this thoughtful reply. One thing to add: it's unlikely that the CEO's performance will change that much after a certain payout. S/he will likely put in the same effort beyond some compensation figure, if only because most want to succeed first and foremost for their pride.

>Imagine if that specific gun dealer could look into the brain of a buyer. Would you hold him accountable for not checking the Parkland shooter's brain?

It’s an interesting thought experiment, but that’s not the legal burden of sellers to crawl into the mind of the purchaser. Further, it’s not about selling an item that is used in a crime, it’s selling an item you know or should know will be used in a crime. I don’t know enough about the parkland shooter purchases but it’s at least possible: 1. The shooter didn’t have intent to commit a crime when he purchased the gun/ammo and only developed the intent later after the purchase (no liability for the seller under this theory), or 2. The seller didn’t know the shooters intent and there are no facts suggesting the seller should have known.

The Law and application of the same has more common sense than saying a seller should have known...if only they read the mind of the buyer.
