From recently discovering Dr. Sarno’s work on physical pain (Eg. Back pain). My current working theory is most psychological pathology comes from repressed rage. It sounds crazy but thousands of people have been cured from chronic back pain, depression, IBS, the list goes on from just learning to get in touch with their embarrassing and painful feelings of rage. Most people have no idea how much bottled up rage is living in their subconscious.

“Though he may not be a household name, Sarno is probably America’s most famous back pain doctor. Before his death on June 22 2017, a day shy of his 94th birthday, he published four books and built a cult-like following of thousands of patients — including Howard Stern and Larry David. Many of them claim to have been healed by Sarno, who essentially argued back pain was all in people’s heads. And Sarno himself often said that some 80 percent of his patients got better.”

“After digging a little deeper, I learned that some of Sarno’s theories are now even being validated by science — specifically, that there can sometimes be an emotional basis for chronic back pain. And that’s an important truth mainstream pain medicine still hasn’t quite figured out what to do with.”

“More specifically, he believed that the brain distracts us from experiencing negative emotions by creating pain. We may not want to accept the uncomfortable truths that we are angry with our children, or that we hate our job, so instead of thinking those thoughts, we focus on the pain.

He also thought that pain was created by reduced oxygen and blood flow to the muscles and nerves of the body. So our brains unconsciously [sub consciously] direct blood away from certain areas of our body, and that creates pain.” - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/scienc...

The problem is that Sarno was at his peak when western medicine wasn’t willing to look at studies that show that emotions can be the root cause of physical conditions. Which is crazy because the placebo effect is well documented. Thus there is obvious evidence that our mind has the ability to effect our body in various ways (including our immune system).
Interesting white-hat application of behavioral economics. It's no surprise this is happening in UK.

Based on Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler's book "Nudge," the UK set up a behavioral economics team charged with helping British subjects interact with their government. They had some notable successes. That's now called The Behavioural Insights Team. https://www.bi.team/ It's possible their national experience led them to adopt new rules against black-hat UX (tiny gray opt-out buttons, etc.)

User experience standards based on behavioral economics principles might be a very productive route to improving social media. It's CERTAINLY worth a try.

Yes, I figured this was to do with them. I doubt it's intentionally misleading, but it might be good to expand the acronym.
Why? Because if I start the market, and the rest of the market gets shut down, then I have the market advantage for a while while the other manufacturers have to retool.

Why? Because of the guns are more expensive, then the profit margin may be higher and my profits higher, even if the overall market size decreases.

I could likely think of others if I gave it more than a few moments' thought.

It seems to me that antipsychotics are too often used as medicinal straitjackets. They are indispensable in stopping acute psychosis, but they don't treat anything.
Those should not be ignored, but they should be immediately followed up with by "why?" because understanding why the old paradigm didn't work, or why something isn't recommended, is important knowledge to have. If you tune out when someone tells you no, without asking why, you haven't started learning yet. There might be great reasons for why the current paradigm is actually preferred, or why that code you wrote is actually really bad because a single edge case that just happens to be severe enough. Until you ask why, you won't know, and your decisions will not be informed decisions.

There are (at least) two lines.

One is that we can't keep people stuck doing the same thing as we need to improve productivity for people to see salaries going up.

In the short run, that usually means a given person is taking on more responsibility. So a person starts out as a clerk and is completing X transactions each day, and their wages come out of that value they add. As they become more senior, they take on more advanced roles like management that enable others to complete their jobs, thus adding more value and resulting in higher wages.

But not everyone can go the management route, whereas automation is a way far more people can get higher wages. If that one person can monitor several self-checkout machines, that person is completing several times as many transactions an individual cashier could. That's more value that person is able to add to the business, and thus higher wages for what is largely unskilled labor.

So the second line is whether people who are immediately displaced by automation are able to find jobs elsewhere. And that's a big unknown. So far we've seen automation expand overall economic opportunity, but Past Results Are Not A Guarantee Of Future Performance.
>soft "sciences" ... They're not remotely scientific

I see the problem more that they are remotely scientific but not rigorously so. So maybe you run a regression on IQ and race and it gives a result which is kind of ok but then jump to conclusions that are not warranted. For example with IQ there are a lot of factors like culture and familiarity with the kind of problems in IQ tests as well as the genes-IQ link you might think of. Really you have to realize the data is kind of fuzzy and be skeptical and a little cynical including asking questions like whether the researchers were biased.
Well, it's more like an illustration of a voting/decision group where majority, but not unanimity, is required for the decision to be taken. And where the decision taken is binding for everyone.

The mechanism in question was and is known by all participant countries that joined the EU.

Not perfect, but is there a better system at reach?

There's a country I heard, overseas, where it can happen that someone is elected president although they didn't get the majority of the people's vote.
On what is Apple competing with respect to apps? I know they've got a few, like garage band, but they make money regardless of which app is purchased.
I see it playing out in a different way. The AI judge would never be officially acknowledged. Instead, it would be this dark judge that people turn to when their favorite dog is misjudged. “See, the computer said he was the winner!”. It would be a while before this group has the sophistication to blame the data set.
When I read it, it felt more about the banality of evil than an explicit choice to be amoral - he actually explicitly goes into it a few paragraphs down. And it is a genuine problem in our industry. It's very easy for us to have our heads down and not think about how our personal morals misalign with the morals of our company (the latter of which often doesn't have a stated set of principles aside from the examples in the products, services, and marketing it creates). We can be moral people as individuals, but overlook it at an organizational level.

But none of that really comes into play with liberty and freedom of speech in a way that I can mesh. That much is a tangential subject. I'd be more concerned on that end if the article's conclusion was that the government should tell us what is moral, but it is asking us to think more about what we consider to be moral.

If your morals tell you that the way your company makes money is okay, then your morals are in alignment and the article doesn't really apply in your situation.

Semantic based search systems are really great at finding the original intent behind queries. Not everybody is good at finding the right keywords to express their ideas or intent. In such a scenario, semantic meaning based querying rewriting helps a lot.

However, semantic search is a hard machine learning problem and it requires a good volume of search queries so that they can be mapped to the results returned and mine for patterns.

What's the middle ground? You can show a machine learning based "related searches" as a hint in the sidebar. That way, you can help the user construct their search phrases.

I have read parts of his book and watched some of his lectures, and would hardly characterize him as a person who is independent and self-reliant (which is what the word individualist refers to).

Just for starters, allowing your well-being dependent on being above some level in some social hierarchy is hardly considered being self-reliant.
Per year. And assumes electricity prices won't go up.

It took me half-an-hour to grab the CSV files from my monitoring, a write a scrap of Python to work out the difference in prices, then double-check my workings.

I'm happy with that ROI.
Utterly outrageous that Mr Loomis is publishing this on a blog. A blog! Think of all those print workers (unionised print workers I may add) who are out of work because he didn't publish this as a pamphlet.

Or not.

Sure not all technology is progressive but this blinkered approach is exceptionally damaging. Ironically, the people that it's damaging most are the very people he purports to support.

By all means lobby for companies to invest in retraining but stringing out deprecated jobs and giving vulnerable people false hope is just plain mean.

I'd be perfectly happy if Apple were forced to allow alternative app stores on the IOS platform, so long as security was guaranteed and backed by legal penalties, if Apple was allowed to heavily curate the collection of apps offered by their own store.

I wouldn't use a third-party app store, nor recommend it, but I'd be fine with their existence.

This article primarily focuses on getting the most from scheduled sessions, but I would argue at a lot of tech conferences, the scheduled sessions may be your worst time investment: You have a huge networking opportunity, and for many conferences, the sessions are going to be recorded and posted on YouTube anyways.

Yeah, when I was there for the inaugural FH launch we were up at 5am, at KSC by 6, and then I think the launch was at around 4pm.

It sounds like you're having trouble with asset allocation, more than figuring out how to implement your allocation. Nevertheless, here's a description of my spreadsheet.

I'm using a variant of the three fund portfolio. So I've crafted a target percentage for stocks and bonds, and the target percentages for each of the funds I'm using for that. Then you add things like your traditional 401k balance (which I've put in bonds), your roth 401k balance (in stocks for me), and maybe you've got a couple of those, it's easier to have one line for each, so you can run through the online accounts and put it in.

Anyway, so on the left side of the sheet, I've got the list of all those funds, the target %, the current balance, and then the target balance. On the right side, I have my new contribution -- most of my contributions are coming from equity based compensation, so I have a bunch of stuff over there to help me set aside the right amount for taxes (I could have a side rant on that).

Target balance is computed for taxable stocks and bonds overall by doing (total balance + contribution) times allocation% - amount of that in tax advantaged.

Then, for each fund in taxable, I take the overall balance for stocks or bonds and use the ratio of allocations within that class to compute the target for that fund (if I have 30% for bonds, and 21% is for fund A, and 9% for fund B; whatever I got for taxable bonds times 21 divided by 30 is the target for A.

Things to note: a) depending on the size of your taxable and tax advantaged balances and your overall asset allocation, tax efficient fund placement may dictate what goes where. For me, my tax advantaged has clear choices, so each type (tax deferred, roth) gets fully allocated to one type of fund. Also, you want to avoid using "substantially identical" funds in taxable and non-taxable, to avoid potential wash sale issues that are hard to track and have unfortunate consequences (if you do a wash sale in taxable, it's fine, you don't get the loss booked, but your cost basis is preserved; if you sell for a loss in taxable and buy substantially identical in tax advantaged, the loss is disallowed but the basis is not transferred, so you just lose that forever).

If this isn't very helpful, I can probably make a clean copy of my spreadsheet as a template; I would share mine directly, but it's hard to know what hidden data is in there.

Funnily enough, psychiatry seems to function a lot like our field, based on trends, because ultimately the brain is a black box. You can't see how it works, you can only feed it input and observe the output, and if it's consistent enough you can record it as an observation.

Apart from the truly severe conditions that prevent individuals from even participating in society, IMHO what psychiatry seems to fail to account for is context. For example, it is said that many people suffer from depression, but instead of looking into the core causes, they would rather just pump patients with meds and hope it gets better with time. Often times though, all that happens is that the patient builds tolerance to medication, so larger and larger doses are needed. It makes me think: what if those people cannot escape their condition to begin with? Can't even know if you don't at least try.

As his guardian you limit your son's ability to legally retaliate in the future against possible coercive actions offered by said corporations, with its sole intention to form an addictive dependency to its users.

It's like buying your son cigarettes. This shifts the responsibility from the supplier to the enabler (you).

Will we in the near future reflect on this digital period, similar to how we now reflect on the era of dominance of cigarette manufacturers?

It's likely any gun manufacturer could start putting out smart guns in short order if they needed to for competitive reasons, the market advantage would be very short and very small, and I would guess most gun buyers would focus on reputable brands for firearms over "first to market" with a particular flavor.

Furthermore, we have to bear in mind that there is a significant portion of gun control advocates who have already made their real goal clear: To ban all guns. So capitulating to moves like this is simply allowing them to move the goalpost, making a small quantity of firearms that are more restricted, before moving it again to restrict those even further.

You may be giving this a few moments' thought, but I'm guessing executives in the firearms industry and NRA members have spent significantly more time thinking about it.
Having a large(ish) family using the wifi with plenty of devices, I too suffer from this problem. So my current solution is..: install the application called 1.1.1.1 (from Cloudflare) and activate it when you (think you) need to access something that is (potentially) blocked by our pi-hole.

Not perfect, but easier than explaining the pi-hole admin interface and consequences of their actions.

Here is some context. There are two collections of frameworks available for iOS developers. The private frameworks cannot be used by non-apple applications. In some cases, this restriction makes it impossible for an App developer to develop an App that has the same functionality as the corresponding Apple app. Just to pick one example, the Music App has a download-to-device option (a cloud with an arrow) which allows users to move cloud-stored songs from their iTunes library onto their device. This functionality is not available in the iOS SDK.

In my opinion, there is legitimacy to the complaints being investigated.

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.” -- Albert Einstein
