Yes, it is horrible and also ridiculous and unfeasible.
TL;DR version: Rent control keeps overall rents artificially high by disincentivizing new construction.

Correct?
Not sure what you mean. Are you saying it’s unethical that it’s hard to make new therapies?
Well, in React's case if you use PropTypes, the rewrite is mostly mechanical, and can be automated via things like https://github.com/lyft/react-javascript-to-typescript-trans...

But many tools, flow, Python, TS allow you to incrementally add types to an existing codebase. That way refactoring isn't some herculean effort, but something you can do for new features, or gradually over time.
From Pax East: The Perfect PokeRap
We can apply the same argument to governments with their lack of censorship of bad words as people walk the streets. We don't because it's ridiculous on it's face, and we don't want a blatant surveillance society such as that.
Playing devil's advocate: there may be an argument that such care would not have been developed without the free-market monetary incentive. (Maybe not; maybe it would have been developed thanks to some government-funded grant. The point is: it's worth understanding what's possible and impossible in our current system.)
You assume the cost of new therapies is workable simply because it’s more efficient than existing.

In reality many existing therapies are all pushing the system into debt and unworkable (for example it overcharges the healthy in order to subsidize the ill).

The reality is $2 million price tag may be acceptable to a multi-millionaire but unworkable for a 40 year old who makes $50K/yr.

After certain age and cost level, the math just doesn’t work out. It’s tough, but once you realize you don’t have the natural right to free or subsidized healthcare, it’s easier to accept.
The VPN only protects the first hop, it would not be a good backup for https.

> So if I understand you correctly, your theory is that closeted lesbians were sleeping with so many men that it inflated the statistics?

Well, it's an effect which would explain the results. It's not really my theory, which is that it's a complex of different things, including several that the author explicitly dismisses without any significant basis (or by citing a basis which seems incorrect.) The homosexuality one is one of them.

Most of the series of things the author asserts affected both sexes similarly (“obesity, porn, video games, social media, dating apps, and wariness re harassment claims”) seem likely not to have done so similarly (that's seems particularly true of both porn and wariness re: harassment claims.)
For many of these diseases, yes there are only a a few thousand patients in the world.

And although gene therapy might be a fundamental technique, creating a gene therapy for a different disease is really hard because human biology is really hard.
I don't know about those other machines from HP, but the Spectre with i7 standard high-end issue in my office (Big4) is only trouble.

Those are nice if you develop a spreadsheet with some VBA now and then, but once you actually need the power if you're developing enterprise applications you can forget it. Under any serious load they overheat and clock the processor down from 3Ghz+ to 2Ghz.
People aren't worried about it because it doesn't seem like a problem. We know that weakly-interacting matter can exist (as demonstrated by neutrinos), and there's nothing odd about the behaviour of dark matter: it seems to behave exactly as we'd expect weakly-interacting matter to behave. That's certainly not case closed * , but it's plenty to make the explanation perfectly reasonable as a working theory.

On a more philosophical level, though, if experts aren't concerned about something, and you as an amateur are, you're almost certainly the one who is wrong. Assume you are, and look for why, rather than questioning their conclusions. It's like the old adage about compiler bugs: they exist, but if you think you've found one, you haven't.

* And indeed scientists don't treat it as though it is - there are several other theories, though it's the strongest contender.

Please stop thinking there are 10x programmers - or perhaps stop thinking it means 10x better.

It is simply 10x more valuable. And that depends on the organisation you work for, the state of the code base and so on.

Look at it this way - sports stars are regularly 10x, 100x more valuable to their team management than A.N.Other professional player. Take football (soccer) - Ronaldo is a waaaay better player than I am easily 100x, but take the newest signing in league 3 or whatever it is - can Ronaldo run 10x as much, is he 10x as likely to put in a penalty or a free kick? No. it's probably not even a question of twice as likely - it's percentages better.

It's just that those percentages matter when the cup is on the line. I am sure that Baseball statistics probably show this - the spread from top of the league to bottom is unlikely to be 10x more runs scored

So more and more it's worth remembering that the value provided to an organisation (and remember that's what you can charge for) is based not on your intrinsic qualities but what you can do for them in their current state.
pretty tone deaf tbh

It's in the article, 5th paragraph. It would be nice to know why my original post was downvoted, did people assume I was racist? I referenced a sentence in the article and stated a fact about Facebook that contradicts what was said.

Okay, but even if that were true, both Mark and Sheryl are Democrats. You can see a picture of Sheryl with Hilary Clinton on her profile page, posted before the election.
As I get older, I find I am reading more and more non-fiction and less and less fiction. I had a curious epiphany about it.

I novel has a beginning, middle, and end. That's all there is to it. If you're a fan, there's nothing more. You can study it all you like, it's fruitless. You can see this with the Star Trek fans, all that interest and excitement pretty much goes nowhere. They wind up memorizing the scripts and doing cosplay.

With non-fiction, there's no beginning and no end. There is always more to the story. There are details omitted. There's a bias. It's like a fractal, the closer you get, the more detail there is. Thus if you find it interesting, you can satisfy that itch for more.

Caro's books are ones that satisfy the itchy person who wants to delve much deeper into a story than the usual insipid treatment. And if that isn't enough, Caro didn't include everything, there's always more for the next historian to unearth.
You'll notice this is what I've been saying all along, so I don't think I've missed your point at all. Every generation indeed produces outstanding art!

Teenagers typically -- but not always -- focus on the present, disregarding both the past and the future (which we've both agreed is a symptom of lack of maturity). In fact, the word for teenager in Spanish is "adolescente", meaning "they who lack" (maturity, judgment).

I didn't say you did.

Dubious Craftsmen – How to Recognize Fraudsters
In an ideal world, a "balanced diet" would mean eating only locally, in season and have none of this fad diet nonsense (vegetarian, vegan, carnivore, keto, etc). This would produce a universal diet that adapts to environment, wild life and the success and failures of local agriculture. It would be a cyclical diet, ever changing.

Maybe balanced diet is a poor choice of words... Local diet? Seasonal diet? Cyclical diet? IDK.
Wow! Almost the exact same thing happened to my Dad. Luckily some big burly removalists witnessed it, and they knew CPR and got to work.

He was out for (if I recall) 27 minutes. It was 4 days of intensive care without us knowing if he would have any brain function, he made a full recovery.

He was back at work in a few weeks, and he's doing great (albeit with a pacemaker).

And this. Your value to the organisation for recognising a problem, arguing for a low cost solution and having the reputation to be believed is way larger than even a PhD researcher in the area who could have delivered an improved solution.

Your friend is a student? Then let him do it.

Students normally have the best touch in upcoming technology, even risky ones, better than people in the industry. The whole idea of a risky venture is that there's a very low chance of succeeding, with very high rewards if he does.

But what if he fails? That's exactly what you should be doing in your early 20s. You can't take risks when you're older, so this is when you start. It's not a waste of time either way as you learn a lot, in a related field that you'd normally not explore because it would be unprofitable. It beats learning via grinding homewoek and algorithm questions.

I would treat it sort of like a college friend starting a band. It may or may not lead somewhere useful, but it's all good fun and good memories later on.
Haha, psychopaths don't have to publish in TV or newspapers because they do it for them. Go back a decade or two before Facebook was a big deal and you'd see CNN, NYTimes, NBC, etc. all feverishly covering Columbine, spending weeks profiling the shooters and every detail of their lives, broadcasting bar graphs and rankings of mass murders like it's a video game scoreboard and openly publishing their manifestos and names for all to read and be influenced by. This is despite the well-studied phenomenon of media coverage inspiring copycat killers and terrorists and yet none of these publishing companies are held liable for their part in encouraging and incentivizing these horrible events.

All of this still happens today. Just two weeks ago I read an article in the NYTimes reporting on how NZ's prime minister asked people not to use or spread the shooter's name. In the same article NYTimes revealed it multiple times. The only frames from the video I've seen are the ones the Washington Post used--The shooters face blown up as the huge cover photo for the story. It just happens that now the internet is the biggest publication platform instead of television or print, so it naturally attracts psychopaths that are seeking the greatest impact.

The reality is that none of these publishing platforms are held liable and the media and HN don't want the internet to be held liable, either--they want FB to be held liable because they don't like FB. No one here is screaming for YouTube's heads after they failed to prevent millions of copies of the videos from being uploaded in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
My point is if you are trying to prevent someone to build a profile on you entirely then VPN is useless.

For majority of the public who use a VPN provider, they are essentially shifting all the risks of their personal privacy from a highly regulated industry (ISP) to one that is much less regulated (VPN providers). This is a bit similar to all the ICO scams associated with an unregulated cryptocurrency industry. ISP at least will not sell your data to questionable buyers, but there's no law in preventing a VPN provider not to do so.

If you truly believe VPN providers can survive giving you unlimited bandwidth worldwide for only a few bucks a month, without relying on other sources of revenue, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Most of them don't operate with transparency, not being audited nor being accountable or required by regulation to keep your data safe but yeah let's trust them instead!
But a VPS on DO, AWS or gcloud also has numerous services on the same physical machine. It's not like every request coming from that machine is from you or am I missing your point?

If you want an actual explanation: I am a woman and this does not match with my lived experiences. In fact, the article seems to dehumanize women in a lot of places. I'm really tired of the incel narrative and the sorts of moral arguments that come along with articles of this type in the comment section. Seeing us represented this way really stresses me out. I'm just here to learn about tech stuff, geez.
VPNs still give you some protection especially for illegal activities.

I was recently a victim of a password cracking attempt from someone using a vpn. I tried reporting the incident by sending the logs to the vpn abuse email, and they ignored it. I looked into VPN company itself, and it was owned by some Russian in Panama. I tried emailing a lawyer there and he said that he couldn't help me because he did work for that person.

I have no doubt that most of the major vpn providers are similarly structured so that they can just ignore all complaints except from the largest corporations.
When we decided it was immoral to pay people below a minimum wage, we had to have enacted equivalent import tariffs to offset any cheaper foreign labor that was impossible to compete with. Instead we exported the suffering and rode the gravy train of cheap imports. It's too late to do anything about China, they compete on much more than labor now, but allowing local manufacturing to compete fairly on the world stage within the bounds of accepted cultural values, is the first step to recovery.
Correct, and the AoA disagree indicator will be added to every plane (for free) as part of the MCAS software fix.
This is absolutely the case.

Sadly, we can see this kind of winner-takes-all dynamic play out in every part of our society now.

This worries me greatly.
The real problem with VPNs is that they are sold as a full privacy and security solution to people who don't understand what's going on technically.

There are some legitimate reasons to use a VPN. Those are far fewer than the marketing claims of those companies. What I've seen over time:

* hide your IP from the service you're using (related to geoblocking)

* get around limitations of your ISP (blocked ports or throttling, torrenting)

* hide traffic/service you use from your ISP/government (China, UAE, Iran)

* get around bad routing of your ISP
“Left lane fast, right lane slow” is actually not the law in California.

It really should be though — traffic in CA flows ridiculously poorly compared to everywhere else I’ve driven.

(Left lane fast, right lane slow is the law in many parts of the US, even though passing on the right is generally legal too.)
Flying at all, given currently unfolding climate catastrophe, does reflect tolerance (or even disregard) for putting life at risk. Actually this change in the risk appetite of the average future air travelers might have impact on how safety is emphasized in the future.
Yes. Known issue.

I'd like to see downvotes only used when a comment doesn't add to the conversation, not when the comment gives a wrong answer. Some comments highlight a popular misconception which is useful to the conversation.

I think this is more a UX problem, where sites like Stack Overflow use downvotes to indicate that they disagree with the answer.

Maybe instead of a downvote button it should be a flag or -_- emoji. (edit: apparently HN removes emojis)
This is really interesting. Did you know that child porn is legally a very special case that makes sites liable for hosting the content?

This is because somehow as a society we decided that child porn is so bad, that there are no excuses to providing any resources for it.

All companies need to make sure that no child porn is posted on their sites, or if it is, then it's taken down immediately and reported to the proper authorities. Failure to do that will get sites blocked by their ISPs, or any of their tech providers if they detect it first (which usually happens within hours or even minutes).

Politics aside, technically, all large enough sites (which allow users to post content) already have the resources and processes in place to monitor and filter all their content. And they are making a conscious decision about what they filter.

Parent is asking how it can be ethical to place such a large price tag on a lifesaving therapy if the materials themselves are cheap. It's one thing for AMD or Intel to recoup engineering costs with outlandish per-chip costs as compared to the cost of manufacturing itself. However, serious ethical questions about profit margins and recouping R&D appear once someone's life is directly tied to usage.

That being said, obviously we have to fund development somehow.
It protects the first hop for request data. But response data could be interfered with too.

I think there's a non-zero chance that the 737 MAX is going to end up with a type certificate. MCAS causes the MAX to behave differently than an NG, whether it's working as designed or not. And also that it can be disabled, immediately means the airplane isn't airworthy as certified and without a type rating the pilot isn't either.

Before this article I would have said, approaches zero chance a type certificate would be required. But the idea it would take 6-8 months to get it flying again? That's so outside the realm of what I was expecting that there must be some talk about it.

The reality is that about 50% or maybe as high as 80% of men are not attractive as sex partners to women who are able to have many choices. And young women are attractive to men of all ages...

That is, the top 20% of men are the ones that are most desirable(however defined) .

In the past the desire to have kids(and the result of needing the man to stick around), and the shame of being considered a slut if a woman's slept with many men, kept much of this in check.

That's a nice idea. Do you know of any programs that use this?

I know that CPython treats hash tables with string keys as a special case, for performance. I wonder if it might also make sense to treat sorting lists of strings as a special case (or maybe it already does, I will check ...).

Hm yeah it looks like Python's timsort is meant to minimize the number of comparison operations (see Objects/listsort.txt). But it doesn't try to make the comparisons themselves cheaper. That would break the interface to some extent, i.e. it doesn't really fit within the model.

Interesting to think about though!
Zoning should take into account rental status. So an area can be zoned for primary home ownership or home rental.

Thus if you have your secondary unoccupied residence in that zone, then it would be a zoning violation so you must live in it or rent it out.
The internet isn't exempted. You're just looking at the wrong party for liability. The people who actually put up those live streams are liable, and abusing facebook's service.
