Sorry, but your analogy/comparison makes no sense. Could you provide a citation/reference to an "open file" rule that you've seen abused in such a way that it would be better to not have that rule at all?

According to TFA, the Idaho state law mandates that records/data used in the design and testing of these risk assessment tools to be made public. Presumably, this information was not required to ever be disclosed upon public request.

So how is "These records must be made public upon request" a net negative compared to the status quo of "The government is not required to disclose these records"?
I think a dating app that focused on introductions through phone calls would be be effective. Texting is not very engaging.
Hmm, that photo office might itself become a singles hangout. It seems like a high-risk idea that could go surprisingly well or extremely badly depending on how it's done.
I wish more people would do this, but sometimes it's a tough sell. I once tried to encourage a bunch of people who were banging their heads bloody trying to contribute to Facebook's places database to switch to editing OpenStreetMap instead. Most didn't want to switch -- they were convinced that their miserable experience improving Facebook was more impactful because it was a more popular product that they knew they used.

I with OSM would come out with a consumer-focused map product. I think that would go a long way towards attracting more contributors, since most people get started to scratch an itch in a product they use.
Seems hard to get enough users to make this worthwhile at any given bar - people have to adjust their "out at a bar" time to include checking into a dating app.

The right growth strategy here seems a lot more localized - targeting specific bars/nightlife districts and seeding from the ground up. Can't get any useful signal from 10,000 users if they're all spread out across North America.

I say that after seeing this app promoted on HN a few times now - probably not a super effective growth channel.
While the idea is neat, I have seen this on HN several times already (searching, it looks like probably around 8 submissions of this url by you from two accounts). It will probably take some actual marketing for your app to get the userbase you'd like it to, rather than just constantly posting it to HN.

So much of the life coaching industry reeks of this crap. Follow any 20-something “life” coach these days and you’ll probably be treated to a stream of flowery feel good quotes that remind you to stay positive at all times.

Eventually these little hits of positivity aren’t strong enough and some seek out expensive coaching services that give you much larger dosages of the same shit while you pretend to work through your problems.
While working in a startup for several years I became fairly practiced at running everything our CEO said through an internal BS meter and have found it incredibly useful in every workplace since then.

The spectrum is 'true', 'optimistic', 'possibly true', 'not quite', 'probably lying', 'lying', 'lying to themselves'. During any company meeting I would keep a mental tally of how each statement measured up and used that to decide when I should leave.
I hate to be critical, but that explainer video is so 2012. Whenever I see one, it signifies to me that the founders are out of touch with modern stylistic requirements for a successful startup.

That said, Match Group has a veritable monopoly in online dating right now as a direct result of a myriad of unethical behaviors: manipulation and subsequent monetization of people's self-esteem for profit, algorithm design that effectively demands broad appeal which in turn marginalizes certain LGBTQ groups.

The list continues, but for the sake of a healthy society I really hope someone figures out how to crush Tinder and all its clones soon.
Yes, the first conditional of your question is mandatory to successfully follow through and complete an academic career in Physics.

I really loved Physics growing up as a student. I was really good at it and enjoyed the problem-solving.

Finished the degree at university, but knew I wasn't married to the idea of doing it for the rest of my career/life. So I touch computers now (got a degree for that too). It pays more, plus it pays 'now'.
It is only possible to perpetuate America's criminal wars through state secrecy. If the American people knew the truth about these military incursions, they would be utterly outraged. It is secrets that keep the one true power - the American people - from doing something, effective, about the out of control military-industrial complex.

If you ask someone out in real life and they feel awkward about it, first of all you should realize that asking someone out IS kind of awkward inherently. It’s not a very normal occurrence in life. But if someone is totally weirded out by it then they are obviously not the type of person you want to try dating. It’s like a natural filter for people who can’t handle real life interaction.
I've spent a lot of time getting an MA in mathematics, but I sometimes feel that I should've just gone straight for computer science. I never intended to do pure math research. My CS friends know more about databases and distributed systems than I do, even if I know more about representation theory. Still, if you subscribe to the signaling theory of education, what does it matter.

> In the UK we don't tend to ignore kids broken bones if they have poor parents. No one goes bankrupt and ends up homeless for contracting an illness, or having an accident at work.

Kids with broken bones are at the easy end of the scale. Most people, before they have experienced serious, complicated, expensive health issues, have a series of relatively positive experiences with the NHS in which they present with a minor issue that is dealt with by in a satisfactory manner. The system is optimized for that. This maintains the illusion that, through your taxes, your health requirements are "covered".

This falls apart once you present with something more complicated. You might be surprised at the extent to which people in the UK are pretty much abandoned when they hit a certain point. I know of many cases in which people had to find the money, somewhere, to buy vital treatment that the NHS was not willing to allocate. This is no less brutal than what happens to the uninsured in the US ... but ... the big difference is that UK residents are under the delusion that they do not need to worry.

Again, my argument is not that the NHS is bad, or evil, or that it does not sometimes do a good job. What I am saying is that, over your lifetime as a whole, it costs more than good health insurance would while letting you down badly when, inevitably, you encounter more serious problems.

The best way to help the poor is to improve the economy. A massive, complicated tax system makes it particularly hard to hire people at the low-end of the skill range. It is simply not worth it, and this will become increasingly evident as workers continue to be replaced by technology.

The UK has ended up with a multi-generational unemployed class who are under the illusion that everything will be taken care of "from cradle to grave". Their personal agency has been almost entirely removed. Alcoholism, obesity, diabetes and depression are at epidemic levels among the unemployed. We have created the perfect storm and it is the poor who will bear the brunt of that.

Microsoft Helped Build China’s Surveillance [video]
That’s a good point with probably a complex answer that needs a lot more research. From the article,

> “the work of the Boston University C.T.E. center, which found evidence of degenerative brain disease in 99 percent of brains obtained from deceased N.F.L. players and 91 percent of college football players and 21 percent of those who played high school football.”

Of course there’s a causality problem here as to whether people who died and thus could have their brains examined are simply more susceptible to the concussive effects, but you may also suggest that, unless we can diagnose those people ahead of time, it doesn’t matter because it represents some fraction of players taking a far more serious health risk without knowing it, especially for the 1/5 number among high school athletes. Further, the article mentions lots of other problems beyond explicit CTE issues, like migraines, nerve damage, shakes and memory lapses.

It brings up all kinds of questions about child welfare, acceptable risk, exploitation of poor athletes, association with a college scholarship, and so on.

I’m curious why the helium hydride (HeH) would form before H2 (molecular hydrogen). Hydrogen (single atomic form) should have formed a larger fraction of post-bang elements than helium (and much more than lithium). I didn’t see anything in the article about this.

HeH has a binding energy of 25.1 kJ/mole [1]. H2 has a dissociation energy of 104 kcal/mole [2]. Expressing these energies in eV per molecule, it’s ~0.26eV for HeH and ~ 4.5eV for H2. So H2 would seem to be stable at higher temperatures and should form first in a cooling gas mixture whose particle kinetic energies are declining.

Or is “binding energy” different from “dissociation energy”?

Would like to understand a little of the thermodynamics that allow HeH rather than H2 to be the primordial molecule.

How to talk to a vaccine skeptic (interactive conversation coach)
My wild guess on Brave is that there are multiple and conditional plans. One, disclosed plan might work for bootstrapping. The actual/longer-term plan(s) might kick in once they have sufficient money&users, or when the bootstrap runs into regulatory or civil legal trouble. (Or maybe they Uber right through regulatory trouble, if they have enough users and money by then.)

I have a complementary wild guess that someone has worked out an ethical philosophy argument in which Brave's plans made sense. It could conceivably include "this is war" (e.g., crucial importance of liberty-ish principles and the Internet, dangerous powerful aggressors, failures of legislation and enforcement authorities), "the ends justify the means", and perhaps an assumption of "we won't be evil".

(My first pick would be a world in which US and non-US legislatures are willing to genuinely and utterly smash certain dotcom practices and thinking. My second pick would be to light a fire under Mozilla, to be more aggressive and fearless, at the same time Mozilla's funding model is redone, to remove conflicts of interest (and push out anyone who would actually rather be at a dotcom). But I'm kinda giving Brave some space, for the moment, as one of the possible third alternatives, since maybe they can do good things Mozilla can't/won't, or maybe their role is to provide additional shakeup pressure on Mozilla.)

My OnePlus 6 lasts about four days, with each charging cycle containing a few hours of speaking, checking random stuff on the web, and using instant messaging and occasional photo shooting. I really, really don't miss the era of early smartphones that barely made it through the day and when their charge went low they died pretty quickly.

I've gone to bed several times with less than 10% battery left, woke up with 2-3% left in the morning, realised the battery is dying and put it charging during breakfast. Back to at least 80-90% when I'm leaving and thus good for another three days.

I think this is pretty ok news: if Maps gets too annoying to use an increasing amount of people will start using alternatives, which will get better because of this, and in the end it will make it easier to live a Google-free life.
Ask HN: Is zoom IPO too over valued?

There’s always people falling in and out of love or new people waiting to find their match. I don’t think it’s a resource limit but rather a how do I get more people to use it to replenish the ones who left. Even couples have single friends that they try to set up, maybe a feature to aid in finding a 4th wheel
Ok, how about another example: the FDA. I'm sure there are plenty of drugs that failed the trial phase: they might fix a headache, but could introduce far more severe side-effects.

Consumers have no way of knowing if an over-the-counter drug they are buying will complicate their health further: they trust the manufacturer and the FDA to do those checks for them.

Why not have a similar structure for technology? What prevents risky / dangerous over-the-counter medication from being sold, and can we apply those same measures to IoT devices?
This is definitely a cultural and social class thing. Poorer and/or more rural areas of the US are like this too. When I worked blue collar jobs you could complain about stuff to the people around you, coworkers would post gripes about stuff on social media and it was fine. Now working in a higher class white collar workplace I would never do that.

HTTP Frameworks Must Die
Agreed. I work from home. Nobody sees my iPhone, it's just for me.
Ah, memory management. Here’s my basic understanding:

- Go initially allocates 2KB stack per routine. When it exceeds it it copies all of it into 2x the space.

- This was happening once or twice per request. They didn’t explain exactly why all that stack memory was being used (maybe someone can chime in), but contributing factors were a 30 function deep call stack and a minor code change that tipped it into the next stack growth tier.

- Also this doesn’t get freed up until garbage collection runs.

- They worked around it by implementing a kind of go routine pool that keeps assigning work to the same (stack-expanded) routines, staying ahead of the garbage collector.

My takeaways:

1. Fantastic analysis and job well done.

2. Pooling does not seem to be how things “should” work in Go. It’s more of a hack around undesirable allocator / garbage collector behavior.

3. I’m really interested in reference counted languages like Swift on the server for these reasons. I know ARC means more predictable latency when it comes to garbage collector behavior (which is only indirectly the problem here). Now I’m really curious how Swift allocates the stack and whether it would avoid this “morestack” growth penalty that Go has.
I don’t understand this argument (which comes up often). Isn’t the answer an unqualified yes? It’s obvious the current system has fuck ups. Are we supposed to be happy if a new system has double or triple the fuckups because “technology”? Like where are you going with this? These clinical decision systems have not proven they improve outcomes and we have no reason to believe they won’t make things worse.
No, they have tons of releases. This is very odd.
What evidence is your statement based on? On iPhone Google Maps only has access to your location while the app is in use, that means either when A) the app is open or B) it's in the background and there is a blue background around the clock indicating the map is in use.

When they began creating tree farms, they came up with some German word that means "forest death" (or something like that) to describe the sickly trees you get from planting nothing but a single species of tree. It strips the land of the same nutrients over and over. You combat that with commercial fertilizer and commercial pesticides.

It is fundamentally not possible to simultaneously pursue both goals you espouse. You decry the variability in quality/quantity of hardest while claiming we can solve this on industrial farms. The consistency of yield that you seem to feel is the most important detail is the root cause of drug resistant infections developing.

If you want to stop crating ever more efficient super bugs that perform excellently well at eating people, then you need to intentionally inject more inefficiency and diversity into our food chain.
Why would facebook be the place where you choose to publicly portray your mental illness? Most people are going to choose to share some positive aspects of their live. Should they be posting emotional outbursts or breakdowns?

I've also heard the opposite, that it leads to absolutely nothing and you are kind of treated like a PhD dropout, at least in the US. Just be careful, I guess, and get plenty of advice from real people who took that path (successfully or not).

Oh, and a bachelor's in engineering physics seems to lead to nothing as well. Have had quite a few friends go to career fairs and every company rep lost interest as soon as they heard the words "engineering physics". They just went on to grad school in plain old physics since they had 0 other options besides learning to code.

No problem. By the way, another thing that seems like it maybe departs from the intuition of human-understanding of negative sentiment versus the machine scoring: I notice that almost all of the highly negatively rated comments that it's flagged -- both mine and others -- are relatively short.

I know that there are multi-paragraph laments about how dumb other people are or whatever on HN. In general, those strike me as seeming more salty than even deeply negative one-sentence putdowns. Like, sure, "Javascript is awful" is clearly negative sentiment. But spilling a few hundred words on the topic of "Javascript is awful" is surely more so?
