That's simply a hallmark of intellectualism, not autism.
> Why do parents continue helping children into their early twenties or beyond? It seems to be, largely, because they can.

The evidence offered for this is simply that better off parents are more likely to do so now, but to answer why the changes occur you actually have to track what has changed in who has given over time (and also track against potential external factors, like broader economic conditions.)

Obviously, those who give are a subset of those who can, but that doesn't mean that that is what is driving the increase.
There may be a large group that does care, does grasp it, but is skeptical because the claims are fantasy. Consider that terraforming Mars is way harder than terraforming Earth's deserts, and yet even that is not being done. Also consider the little bit of terraforming mankind managed to do since the start of the industrial revolution, and what kind of resources it took to do it. It doesn't really translate to Mars.

I think the worst part of it (as the article mentions) is that it feels like you are doing something productive when you're using Slack, but the majority of time you're actually not. You're generating conversations, notifications, and in general producing tangible output that for me is subconsciously gratifying. That hooks me in to using the service even though consciously I know that I'm not getting real work done.
According to a reddit thread they've saltwater hardened the fairings and now they can reuse them:

Slight clarification: The journal is called Scientific Reports, which as you correctly emphasize is very different than the journal Nature even though they are owned by the same company. The articles are still called "articles" though.
(1) This isn't Nature, it's SciRep. Don't get distracted by the URL.

(2) Nature is an extremely high impact factor journal. However, it's ... not really a medical journal. Nor a psych journal. Nor a developmental peds journal. It's a basic sciences journal. What I mean to say is, even if this were Nature, it'd be a super high-impact journal that isn't actually read by clinicians who would be best positioned to criticize the study.

(2a) For instance, their bowel transfer prep involved a clean-out with a two week course of vanco. The only bowel bugs it's used for are c. diff colitis and staph aureus enterocolitis. The reason it's really only used for that is because it really doesn't touch any other common bowel inhabitants. It's useful for those because it doesn't absorbed very effectively, so if you've got C Diff sitting in the bowel lumen, great, send a wash of vanco down the pipe. But, uh, for any other bugs in the gut? It's not even second line. So, how weird that it would be used to knock out pre-existing gut flora and "suppress pathogenic bacteria." C Diff and MRSA are not the leading pathogenic gut bacteria. The pre-existing flora are predominantly anaerobes.

(3) An unblinded, uncontrolled trial of a disease whose symptoms are highly subjective in measure? Excellent. I'm sure they took measures to ensure they weren't influenced in their subjective analys-

(3a) Oh. The senior author has a bunch of patents out trying to commercialize probiotics for autism.

(3b) Oh, they used the PGI3, CARS, SRS, and ABC scores. I guess if you fill out enough bubbles you can overcome the fact that those are still subjective enough that they're shit for an open-label trial. Whoops.

I don't mean to be overly dismissive. It's a fine pilot. The results are interesting enough that I'd want to see a real study tackle this. My comments are mostly aimed at the prevailing sentiment here taking this at face value.
It's basically Springer-Nature's answer to PLoS One. As long as it's not obviously crazy, anything goes.

This doesn't look very convincing though. Without a no-treatment or sham treatment control, the results could be placebo effect, reversion to the mean on their metrics, or due to the antibiotic treatment rather than the transplanted gut bacteria, or a just a statistical fluke with this small population.

One thing that stands out to me is the lack of difference in developmental age between 8 weeks and 2 years after treatment. I find it hard to understand how that would occur under the model where this treatment does something.

Scientific reports is a nature family journal somewhat akin to Plos One (very little importance review). It should set some warning lights on.
I would strongly recommend to avoid any direct resemblance to the unsafe and illdesigned BSON format by mongodb which allows objects, js code or datetime being deserialized, whilst this one looks very safe. I'm just not sure yet if BSON allows arbitrary data being added by a MITM attacker, due it's support for primitive data to be encoded directly. This is the major weakness being added to the first JSON RFC in the 2nd.

There are still better designed, faster and more popular binary serialization formats available, such as MessagePack or Cap'n Proto.

I agree. I use RSS to listen to the BBC Global News podcast every morning over breakfast (and NPR, and CBC news updates). As much as I love that part of my morning routine, I wouldn't create an account to listen to it, so I don't see a reason to change from RSS.
Prior to the 18 patient study of rapidly growing teenagers, with subjective rating scales performed by unblinded investigators, 83 percent of participants had "severe" autism. Now, only 17 percent are rated as severe, 39 percent as mild or moderate, and incredibly, 44 percent are below the cut-off for mild ASD.

Just adding context.
>On this launch, it looks like they offset the timings to reduce the chance of tipping over.

On reddit a lot of people enphasised that it was to avoid interference. Which interference, no one knows.
This argument always seems a little strange to me. I think I can count on one hand the number of times, in 14 years, I've ever made eye contact with another driver while driving, or used some kind of hand signals. And in all of those cases, if the signaling had failed, the situation would have resolved itself just fine in less than a minute anyway. Most of the time, I can't even see the other drivers through reflections on their windshields. Sure, sometimes I'll stick an arm out the window to wave my thanks when somebody lets me merge, but that's not a critical communication.
Given the method of measuring the results I'm not sure we can know anything about how strong the results are without a control group. It seems there is a deal of subjectivity in interpreting the results, and when this is the case crazy stuff can and does happen, regularly.
> The graph commits a couple of errors,

Starting at 30% is not a cardinal sin: comparing things by proportion isn't the only valid purpose of a graph. That said, covering up an apparent peak with an overlay image is a cardinal sin, and you left it out.

> One is the glaring typo--1985 instead of 1965.

It's 1980 instead of 1990 not 1985 instead of 1965.

> The other two problems are cutting off in 2010 (basically during the aftermath of the 2008 recession), and starting in 1965.

It starts in 1985. Starting in 1965 would be an improvement.
Essentially, microservices are Conway's Law in practice.
History has an ebb and flow between the ability of civilization to solve problems and the ability of civilization to create problems.

Civilizations don't fall because of problems (say running old of oil, infertile soil, invasions, ...) they fall because they can't solve the problems.

The default prediction for any situation is that people will muddle through, usually they do. "Utopia" and "Oblivion" are unusual outcomes, as popular as they are as predictions.

Looking at climate change, for instance, the issue isn't that climate change is a problem, but that our ability to deal with it stuck on numerous levels.

It is very easy to point the finger at the U.S. or the Republican Party or people like the Koch brothers who have jammed our political system by spamming the agenda. (e.g. "Free Speech" is the wrong model to think about this, it is more like robocalls,
electronic warfare or the use of chemical weapons.)

On the other hand, people like the Yellow Shirts in France have shown that "bottom up" movements against increased fuel prices are a thing. Practically what you find is that somebody "takes responsibility" for a role: for instance, Germany has been coming up with half-baked energy plans for decades, still burns coal and imports Russian gas. But somehow they frame themselves as the "good guys" and they can get away with it because the U.S. refuses to acknowledge the problem.

If the U.S. wasn't in the way, some other country would be the "bad child" that will take the blame. That is how politics works: it is like how legislators trade votes to balance the needs of the party vs. what their constituents will accept.
I'm wondering if team size is what makes slack such a pain for many posters. Slack is great for my 8 person remote company. I keep notifications off for channels that aren't directly related to my development responsibilities, but I value having access to them for review at the end of the day so I'm aware of what is happening elsewhere. If I need a long stretch of uninterrupted development time, I turn on Do Not Disturb and everyone knows not to override this unless there is an emergency.

Cynical me saw Youtube in Chrome loading instantly while Firefox was served a build with the high parsing cost of Polymer polyfills. And starry-eyed developers importing if and for statements and writing imperative dom updates, while running some JS transpiler just like a React guy does.

That's BS. Yandex is an incredibly strong player in Russia in the search space and Google is not outcompeting them either. It was the case way before Putin's political ambitions became relevant.

All in all, there are many reasons to blame Russia for it's government, but that's blatantly not one of them.

Would appreciate any suggestions for getting hired or funded, I've got valuable skills but am struggling to find career opportunities
My story is pretty much the same as yours, but I have an extra ten years on you. I've been able to get it under control (my career is really taking off now at the age of 39) by practicing it like any other skill. Mostly it's the art of omission; I consciously suppress my impulse to interrupt people in meetings and conversation by preparing a response in my head until they finish. This has the effect of making people think of me as a good listener, and also gives me time to cut their argument to shreds if they are spewing nonsense (the old maxim "don't interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake"). Also, it's good to be thought of as the quiet smart guy. On the topic of inappropriate topics, I just don't say anything that isn't related to work in public conversations. Once you start getting close to people in a company you can usually talk about anything in private. All the "acting normal" can take a toll on you, though.

If the DNC and Podesta email leaks were probably worth a billion, how much money was the audio tape leaked worth by NBCUniversal? That news reached basically every corner of the world for weeks, which is very expensive thing to buy.

During the election campaign there was also several lawsuits filled, neither which lead to a case reaching a judge. How much election meddling did that cause, how much would such campaign influence be worth if it was possible to buy it?

Lets imagine a future election where media and candidates are bound to only talk political subjects and disagreement on those. No scandals, no leaks, no recent news, and no meddling by outside influences be that other nations, citizens, companies or news papers. Just politicians with different views on how the country will operate in the next few years. If someone have a tape, a email or a lawsuit to announce they can wait until the day after the election.

It would be interesting to see if this has similar effects on other candidates that have other mental symptoms classified as mental illness. ADHD, ODD, OCD, Bipolar, Depression etc.

I have two children with combinations of these symptoms and it's staggering how many of the symptoms could be interpreted either way depending on the classifying doctor's specialty.
Just so I'm clear we're all team Justin, right?
Funny, just today I was looking for a similar topic.

I always had this mindset that things are all in all improving in the world. It came down crashing with Trump, Brexit and the general trend towards nationalism, especially the AfD in Germany.

I was always aware of climate change, but it used to be so far in the future that I didn‘t lose sleep about it. This changed with recent studies, comments and articles on HN, Twitter etc. which painted a more dire picture of the future, plus the heat-wave in Europe last year.

Our son was born in 2016 and around that time my optimism began to fade. Luckily, the luckiness of parenthood offset the darker moods a little bit.

With climate-change, the sex-talk isn‘t the most unpleasant talk of parenthood anymore.

Deleting most social-media-apps helped me. Unfollowing folks who post and repost triggering material is essential. I‘m usually not for hiding the head in the sand but this about mental health.

Also, sufficient sleep helps the brain to deal with those „oh no..“-moments. Aim for 7-8 hours.

There are lenses you can view those issues through, that may help you:

- You‘re not alone. Most humans also worry, and are also worried. They will have to face the same issues as you. You‘re probably better off than most of them.

- Humanity will adapt. You will adapt. Most changes, also for the worse, don‘t happen over night. (Not talking about wars, catastrophes etc. of course)

- You can make a difference. Every kilogram less CO2 in the atmosphere counts.

A few years ago, I watched German cabaretist Hagen Rether. He said „This right now is probably the best time to be alive. This is it. We have it better than our ancestors and our children.“ I‘m afraid he was right.

I think humanity needs some kind of a wake-up-call. I just hope it‘s not too late by then.

In fact, "Nature" isn't even in the office journal title, unlike basically every other journal owned by the Springer Nature publishing company, e.g., Nature Communications, Nature Chemistry, Nature Methods. This highlights that it's considered to be a significantly lower tier in prestige, and the acceptance rates are much higher. Which is why I've published there :D

But that usually means there is a problem with the law in either enforcement(insufficient or only existing to be abused via selective enforcement) or basis(it shouldn't be illegal in the first place).
Autism Spectrum Disorder is autism (it is the formal name of the DSM 5 diagnosis) not merely “autism-like behaviors”.

I don't agree. I think it would be like the Spanish coming to the Americas. There would be an earth war over this. Why should the Rich get it for themselves while everyone else has to die from now curable diseases. Society and economics would collapse.

As my autistic SO said:

Not fun for the children, but any case like this would bring it over the top and hopefully create a bigger uproar.
Yes, but my point is that a general state of malnutrition can give the same symptoms as autism, ADHD etc. I think the lack of gut bacteria could be more a symptom than a cause if you know what I mean.

When I was a child everybody thought I was autist when in reality I was just malnurished because I had a single mother who was up over her head in responsibility. If you dont eat right and maybe even live largely off sugar, you are bound to have attention span problems and blood sugar and mood like a roller coaster.
However, none of that affects a crate until it opts into the new syntax. So everything keeps building just fine.
The benefit I've found is in cross-team communication.

Specifically of the "I need to reach out to this team I don't know about their product" variety.

A) If they interact with Slack, I can search previous answers

B) It promotes a culture of openness. Huge benefit in some orgs! We talk about our projects, warts and all, in public channels. If all your org channels are private, you're definitely Doing It Wrong

C) It's far more scalable than ticketing. Issues can be resolved in three lines of text, rather than ticket creation, queue, assignment, closing, etc.

As an above commenter noted though, you can and should push back on expectations of constant availability. Slack is asynchronous, not for initiating hi-pri issues.
What do you mean by "versioning support for git dependencies"? We do support pulling in git dependencies based on a branch (I think tags work?)

We also support checking the version of the git dep.

It's fetching the dep that's the problem. Git has no uniform protocol for talking about versions, especially when it comes to resolving SemVer ("you asked for 0.2.1 but I also have 0.2.5, here you go")

If you want go-style import resolution use a local git dep. That works fine. It's specifically when you want all the features of cargo's version resolution -- which git doesn't understand -- you need to use a custom registry.
