This is fascinating! I was diagnosed with dextrocardia w/ situs inversus at 19.

I didn't make it to 99 years old to find out I had it, but several physicians and doctors in my childhood missed the diagnosis too. Story time!

This is written on mobile so I apologise for grammar and spelling errors.

I had awful asthma as a child and would frequently visit hospital till my teenage years because of asthma attacks and similar. I couldn't estimate how many X-rays and Ultrasounds I had growing up. No one picked up the Dextro Cardia till I got my medical exam for Permanent Residency in Australia. You can imagine how surprised I was when I found out all my major internal organs are a mirror of where they should be. The consensus so far is that because my organs are all mirrored, most doctors look straight past the condition and consider it to be an X-ray Technician error.

Similar to Rose I experience chronic heart burn and I'm at heightened risk of heart disease, but little more than that. Unlike the majority mentioned in the article, but like Rose, I'm quite healthy and I'm now at the age of 30 with no signs of stopping.

One funny story within a story. I have to wear a medical alert to describe my condition in case of an accident.

When I was in my mid twenties I was in a car accident and my (car hits bicycle, I was on the bicycle) and didn't wear my medical alert. The one time in my life I definitely needed it. In vehicular accidents it's common for your organs to be moved around your chest cavity and abdomen as a consequence of the trauma and inertia of your body travelling and the inevitable sudden stop at the end. I got taken straight to triage in ER at the hospital and was whisked away to get stabilised, x-rays taken and my visible wounds cleaned.

I wasn't quite with it at the time but vividly recall the doctors looking distressed at my X-rays, the doctors came over to mention there's some 'anomalies' in my chest and require an ultrasound.

I have a brief moment of lucidity and mention to the doctor, 'Oh, I usually have a medical alert for this. I have Dextro Cardia w/ Situs Inversus. Thought you should know.'

The doctors lost their minds with laughter and took particular attention to finding the apex of my heart beat (it's not where it should be), prodding and poking my body to find out how it ticks.

To think if I wasn't with it at that time, I may have ended up with corrective surgery which is quite common when DC w/ SI is found to minimise risks associated with the condition.

I was quite fortunate, I had no broken bones, but I did have a concussion and so much road rash and other open wounds as a consequence of the accident.

Still to this day I now wear my medical alert daily, and when ever meeting a doctor they show visible delight in getting to play around with me and my rare genetic disorder. It's all quite fascinating. Including my girlfriend who's a doctor, as are most of her friends. :)

Thanks for reading!
Why is that?

I agree its somewhat disingenuous, and not representative of how mathematics is really done (most of which regular people would probably find pretty un-exciting and mundane). But it does increase visibility about those things. Instead of John Nash being someone who only mathematicians/academics knew of, his name is now (somewhat) more better known, isn't it? A book and a movie.

To be honest, I grew up in a pre-internet, pre-wikipedia world, and without movies like those I maybe would have never heard/known about these folks and what they did.
Don't buy any clothes or electronic made in China, since they could embed with some micro chip, and you will be spied :) Bloomberg has warned you!!!!
Oh, come on. Hollywood can tell a compelling story to inspire people to get into fields they wouldn't have considered otherwise, even if only as amateurs and hobbyists. A lot of kids watching Iron Man are probably excited to grow up to get into machine learning and robotics.
Alcohol, probably. Maybe also/or heroin. And he'd just returned from South America, where he'd been chasing (unsuccessfully, I've read) some young guy. And where he did, I gather, ayahuasca, maybe a few times. So he was probably crazier than usual.

But anyway, it was indeed horrible that he shot his wife. But for whatever it's worth, it was a formative event in his career as a writer. As I recall, he credited it as the formative event in his career.

And to your point, it was arguably one of the things that he had in mind when writing that.
I think the argument is right, but the evidence you cite isn't very supportive.

> Most of the wealthiest countries sustain high immigration ... Switzerland has over 3 times the US rate of immigration yet has one of the highest bottom quintile incomes in world.

Obviously economic migrants aren't going to migrate somewhere with no opportunities. It is hypothetically possible that low-skilled they choose the country to migrate to by picking the one with the highest bottom quintile income (some proxy of, given they wouldn't actually review the stats). If the host country has immigration limits the economic state of the hosting country would change slowly so the migration wouldn't immediately normalise the host countries economy with the rest of the world.

Basically, we'd expect to see that statistic even if migrants did lower the income of their quintile. They don't, but the evidence of that is a separate thing.

The bug in the first place. That we can't easily rollback this "upgrade" as well.
Can you offer any empirical evidence that it is not difficult? The vast majority of people I've encountered who are entirely self-taught beyond typical high school (or college freshman) material have been quite bad. They repeatedly make fundamental errors of the sort I would expect to be swiftly corrected in undergrad coursework, even in topics they (claim to) have studied for years.

I don't think I've met anyone who learned to write a good proof without significant human instruction. That is probably something to be expected because much of what makes a "good" proof is social expectations, but I see a lot more cases of unjustifiable leaps of logic than excessive, obvious detail.
The point of her article wasn’t to push despair, but rather to urge the Western medical establishment to get moving on phage research.

Bacteriophages as a solution to our antibiotic resistance crisis have been largely ignored in the West due to unpatentability, research mainly performed in Eastern Europe, etc — but her story is that a bacteriophage cocktail saved her husband’s life where antibiotics failed...and the only reason they even were able to go that route was because she’s an epidemiologist who pulled some strings, pulled research teams together, got approvals, and managed the project herself.
I have a habit of picking unpopular phones, it seems. No phone I've ever owned has had a relatively active rooting community and it sucks because I want to learn how rooting works but I can't afford to start testing my own devices, in case they get bricked or something.
I agree that teaching yourself mathematics is possible, but I don't think Ramanujan is a good example. He was a prodigy with something about his brain that was simply wired for mathematics and patterns. Solutions came to him as divine visions with little formal rationale or proof.
>However their marketing campaigns alone are nothing extraordinary either.

During last holidays almost every single commercial break in Polish TV had Huawei ad.
That makes no sense to me. If something is doing something, then it's automatically possible, which, if lacking another explanation, automatically means it could be evidence of aliens.

And, defying the known laws of physics isn't impossible, either. We can't even know how much we don't know. That leaves a lot of wiggle room.
Yes, I installed the .xpi file, firefox still says my extensions are unsupported/unverified.

Reinstalling seems to work, but there are certain extensions that have data I do not want to lose. For example, if I reinstall ubock origin, I will lose all of my dynamic filtering rules.

There’s multiple variants of heterotaxy syndromes (left and right variants) as well as many on a wide spectrum. We see a couple a cases a year pass through the radiology department.

The working understanding is that these are ultimately ciliary dysfunctions in utero which cause aberrant gradients for body patterning.
I started doing it but yes, it's too much effort to get two full benchmarks, I'm sorry :). But I think it went down to the inefficiency of String.split(): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37007189/string-split-te... and generally the Java's String built-in methods not being GC-friendly: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20336459/garbage-friendl.... I'm guessing that when such parts can be coded in a non-VM environment (CPython/PyPy runtime) they can be made much faster, and Java to these days has the standard library coded in pure Java?
1.1.1.1 supports dns/https. It is entirely possible to make a request to 1.1.1.1 for an ip and have nobody be able to know what you made the request for.

There is no guarantee the name server they are querying is the same as the server in the A result, and the idea is to reduce the number of points where people other than the A result and the client know that they plan to talk to each other.

It's not bullshit.
Pretty big gap between static elec fields and what's being described in the article.
Encrypting dns is bad for end users. Please cut this shit out. You are acting like you are defending against the NSA, but in reality we will have a bunch of shitty IoT phoning data to indecipherable IP addresses without any meaningful defense of consumer privacy.

It is hostile to customers who want to troubleshoot wtf apps are doing.

In some cases, the faster program with OpenJDK does not seem to be the faster program with Substrate VM.

In other cases, the faster program with OpenJDK seems to fail with Substrate VM - maybe it needs something different on the command line?

Otherwise, the same program is shown for both.
What are the applications?

Nominal wages matter a lot. And these days prices are not moving much and it is recognised that it is very important that they go up, a lot, for those at the bottom.

This is a contradictory argument. Real wages are the standard. If prices aren't changing much, then nominal wages are close to real wages and so they can't matter a lot as separate factor. The way nominal wages could matter is just if they are distinction from real wages and are able to give a (false) psychological feeling of wealth (things that go under the "wealth effect").
I've considered buying a chalkboard for my home office, does anyone have a good recommendation for what brand to buy?
I wish that was true, but in fact I have no way to disable this and similiar amazing security entrenchments. The monthly device bricking windows updates, for instance.

If I can't do anything with my hardened computer, I don't care if is eaten alive by malware, it is useless anyways.

At work, as the guy who have to fight on behalf of the sysadmins and the users dozens of clueless security advisors who are hardening everything according to security best-practices written by similarily clueless experts, I'm seriously astonished by the common backward thinking. If you are blocking access to all users pdf files, for an instance, you are the malware, you are causing disturbance to the business operation and annoying everyone.

Noted, but that quote doesn't imply economic consensus or opinion, and it is not an argument - it is a dry statement of fact. So I don't think I misrepresented anything.
This is a great point, and I think it shows why people don't study math in their spare time. It's the same reason why most people aren't body builders with 5% body fat: it takes a tremendous amount of hard work.

Not only that, but the work isn't glamorous or particularly creative. In my teens, I always though I was "bad" at math -- I never did the homework, didn't do the supplementary exercises, had an "intuitive" understanding that wouldn't translate when exam time rolled around, and I consistently got C's and F's.

In college, I decided to take things more seriously and I remember in Calc I-III doing literally every single problem in the books. If I missed any problem, I would do it over and over again until I got it right. "Miraculously," I started getting A's in math classes.
Is it just sense of control or actual control reduced? E.g. I generally am very mindful, calm and kind person but I can remember a couple of times in my life when I was driven so mad (e.g. when guys were bullying me at school I could go "berserk" and attack) or so scared (e.g. I once walked a bad city district at night alone and 2 zombies approached, kind of junkies perhaps, looked like real ghouls, so I ran away) that I was acting unconsciously and impulsively. From the consciousness point of view it felt like it was turned off and I wasn't in control any more, like in a non-lucid dream.
Groups for people of age late_30 - early_50 though?
Moreover what if Heroku goes out of business? Then they’re f’d. Hosting on k8s, using Terraform or whatever would give them a lot of automation and provider independence.
Your language skills deteriorate without use as well. I used to know German at a passable level at school, I no longer do. I can see patterns ans know some words, but it's definitely heavily degraded.
Well, we agree things are complicated. "Migration is always positive" isn't what I was claiming, just adding some factors on the positive side that you left out.

It seems like you're still thinking zero-sum? Someone moving to a richer company could send back more money than they could have possibly earned if they stayed home, while also earning and spending even more in their new country. Total spending is higher in both places. There are extreme cases of immigrants who started companies (which creates jobs), became fabulously wealthy, and also helped the whole village back home. Or things could go badly, of course; I don't claim this is what usually happens.

Just figuring out the total effect of remittances seems rather difficult, considering effects on trade balance. Are imports good or bad? How about exports?

In general, it seems like more economic activity is good? But there exceptions.
They can tell a compelling story but I hate how they distort the reality. I feel like a lot of the plots are altered to fit this Hollywood format. Sometimes the antagonists feel forced. Or the friendships feel forced. Or the back story fells forced. I don't want a movie where they just take someone's name and likelihood and plaster the standard Hollywood tropes on it.

I hate the "writing math on windows thing".
I was on an IRC channel hosted by this guy. Maybe 5-6 people all 13-15 back in 2007. They were/are my best friends. For over 10 years we talked. The guy who ran it worked for the CIA and got arrested as the person responsible for the Vault7 hacking tools leak. Now the server has been taken by the FBI and I had to have a very interesting conversation about all the shit we said over the years. Now he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Hits me hard everytime I think about it...
That doesn’t help stop the attacks using breach lists that are even more prevalent.

You could start with email warnings of suspicious activity and fine tune the model parameters based on feedback from false positives. But generally a login from a device that has no previous cookie, from an ASN the account has never used before, especially if that ASN is a known data center, that then immediately attempts a destructive action, should be a pretty big warning flag.
Exactly. I believe I saw one or more UFOs when I was kid, maybe 10 or 11 years old, while riding my bike to a local park. Three or four stationary white lights in the sky, equidistant from each other. Of note, this was in an early afternoon mid-summer day without a cloud in the sky. And they weren't drones, this was in the late 70s.
To me, the story reminds me of "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" (William Kamkwamba):

>1) Classes with other students are just about the least effective way to learn a foreign language. You just reinforce each others' bad accents, grammar mistakes, etc.

And yet, hundreds of millions of people have learned a foreign language that way.

In this corner of Europe it's de rigueur for everyone to study 2 or more foreign languages during middle and high school, and (some very rich kids with private tutors aside) everybody does it at foreign language schools with classes of 10-15 other people. It still works just fine.
>Wage trends over the past half-century suggest that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3 percent. Even after the economy has fully adjusted, those skill groups that received the most immigrants will still offer lower pay relative to those that received fewer immigrants.

>Immigration redistributes wealth from those who compete with immigrants to those who use immigrants—from the employee to the employer. And the additional profits are so large that the economic pie accruing to all natives actually grows... But behind that calculation is a much larger shift from one group of Americans to another: The total wealth redistribution from the native losers to the native winners is enormous, roughly a half-trillion dollars a year. Immigrants, too, gain substantially; their total earnings far exceed what their income would have been had they not migrated.

I fixed the link, thanks for the feedback
Who runs archive.is? Sounds childish without knowing any of the facts.
If you're going to that much trouble I suggest you just hardcode an IP address for archive.is into /etc/hosts. I've only had to change it once in the whole time I've used Cloudflare DNS (i.e. since the first day it was public).
No, it is not irrelevant and people thinking it is makes it more dangerous.

I think it's incredibly disingenuous to call yourself a self-taught mathematician when you already have a masters in physics.
cool, Komiser is about optimizing the cost of all AWS services not only Reserved instances :)
Thanks for the feedback, yes I will be release the GCP support this week :)
I'm working on it, I will write some posts on Medium and blog to describe how to use the tool to reduce the cost
They need something that works for all sites.
Ramanujan was also (relatively) bad at actually proving theorems, and worked mainly from intuition. He got a bit of culture shock when he moved to Cambridge and was expected to document his logic in the laborious detail that mathematics expects.

Thanks guys for the feedback, the support of GCP (Google Cloud Platform) will be released this week, so with one tool you can reduce your cost and optimize your cloud environment security :)
I worked in VC, and since then started two startups. After my last company, I had the opportunity to join VC again at a partner level, but I actually think being a VC partner is a fairly awful job. You are basically a deals guy: you need to be networking constantly, trying to stay on top of the latest trends, cozying up to founders that seem to be doing well and building your own brand obsessively. It's like being an A&R man for a record label, or a real estate promoter.
Success is largely luck-based and the job has very few technical requirements.

Just personally, I much prefer developing technology and running technology businesses.

I've observed that a lot of VCs want to be founders (was guilty of that myself before I started my first startup) and a lot of founders want to be VCs, but I think that's largely just a grass-is-greener mindset. Personally I'm much more temperamentally suited to be planning and executing a long development plan than trying to find hot deals.
I agree, however, there's more things to do to reduce the cost like deleting snapshots, unused disks, unassigned elastic ips... that's the purpose of this tool :)
This petulant antagonism ("You are the malware!", "No YOU ARE!") between users and security is contrary to everyone's interests.

Go sit in separate corners, both of you. Think really, really hard about how both of your jobs are critical to the long-term success of the business. Don't come back until you've meaningfully internalized that.
Possibly, though it would kill Oracle's Java business even more thoroughly.

If their business strategy is more nuanced than "cut your own throat in the hope someone else's is behind it", then political jiggery-pokery like Java EE is probably about as far as they would want to go.
I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, but I do want to point out that they didn't make a movie about John Nash because he was a great mathematician, they made a movie because he was a great mathematician who had schizophrenia. It's not obvious to me that this image of mathematicians in popular culture is better than no image at all.
This link is a joke, but it would be a very effective way to learn a language. I'd guess everyone of you can understand almost everything said, even if they don't speak Spanish:

And I can imagine the lessons/clip getting progressively more advanced. Has a course based on narrative clips been actually tried to anyone's knowledge?

(If it was made in the soap opera style (and budget), it wouldn't even be that expensive to make).
So a security feature that had 0 impact for decades is "crippling" the usability of a project due to one outage?
The person or persons running the site have a history of very stubborn behaviour. I do appreciate the service they are running.

One time they blocked the whole Finland because the owner had problems with customs and somehow related the incident with Russia while saying Finnish gov and bur businesses can never be independent.
Awesome response! Is there already a blog post on this?

Such a post might A) get better SEO than an HN thread for 'cannot access archive.is [or ...]' and B) help change its behaviour.
