From a patient perspective, it's pretty believable. They don't know what's wrong after the typical battery of tests, so it's incurable or you're making it up.

I've also had an experience where I basically told the doctor

>I am tired all the time, I sleep 12-16 hours a day and still wake up feeling completely unrested, and it seriously affects my ability to do my school work and live my life

and his response was (to paraphrase)

>you just need exercise, fatty

For context, I was in my late teens at this point, and a few pounds overweight by the medical definition.

Long story short, after many expensive visits with psychiatrists, we learn that anti-depressants didn't help because I wasn't depressed.

I finally did a sleep study, and it was sleep apnea. A sleep disorder.

This sounds ridiculous, right? As an outsider looking in, it's so obvious. But this actually happened to me, and I am sure it happens to thousands of patients all of the time.
Country size is a heavy tailed distribution. Every country aside from China, India and maybe the US is small.
I would argue that it's not that elegant in software either. By unifying the instruction, you lose semantic information about what the program is trying to do.

Is that really due to intelligence, and not systemic bias/a 'pipeline problem'? 25% of Harvard students are Jewish [1,2], and "all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish." [3]. So of course if they're so over-represented in education and film, they'd be over-represented in education/film awards as well.

At least that's certainly the argument everyone would be making if you swapped which ethnicity is 'superior'...

This reminds me of a similar article many years ago about reading network packet content from the light of the led in network cards.

It is another example of how things are safer in practice than in theory. Entropy helps to keep things safe by introducing noise. All these measures are easier in a lab than in the wild.
There are superior gene combinations that are not known or are poorly understood, such as high bone density, resistance to acute radiation exposure, faster environmental adaptability, greater pulmonary volume. By higher bone density I mean 3-5x greater than normal. These supposedly superior conditions are things that actually exist and boost performance, but they also impose stress on other health systems. After accounting for complexity superior is in the eye of the beholder after consideration for what factors/goals are most desirable.
Open sourcing my MRI scans for the general public to read "doesn't hurt" either. Doesn't mean it's a worthwhile/valuable thing to do.

And I also challenge you on "it doesn't hurt". Consider military adversaries developing targeted attacks against critical infrastructure because it's open sourced.

> The 1953 Iranian coup d'état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d'état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد‎), was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project or "Operation Ajax") and the United Kingdom (under the name "Operation Boot"). It was the first covert action of the United States to overthrow a foreign government during peacetime.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Revolution

> The Iranian Revolution (Persian: انقلاب ایران‎, romanized: Enqelābe Irān;), also known as the Islamic Revolution or the 1979 Revolution, was a series of events that involved the overthrow of the last monarch of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, and the replacement of his government with an Islamic republic under the Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a leader of one of the factions in the revolt. The movement against the United States-backed monarchy was supported by various leftist and Islamist organizations and student movements.
The general form of this problem is that the correlations, including things like retest and test-to-test repeatability, all come from the fat part of the curve (say +/- 2 sd). But people love to extrapolate those findings to the part of the tail where there is no good data.
To these I would add: lack of a rotate instruction in the base ISA, and unix standard extension groups. This makes symmetric key encryption and most hash functions much slower. The Bitmanip extension has a rotate instruction, but it should have been in the base ISA.

I'd also emphasise the lack of indexed load/store instructions again. It is a disaster for any sort of array indexing where you're addressing >1 array using the same index. I found this in the context of multi-precision arithmetic for crypto, but examples come from all over.

On the author's point about multiply and divide in the same extension: crypto is another good example. Lots of crypto really benefits from multiply, but doesn't need divide.

The most important thing about RISC-V is the idea behind it's openness as a standard and the ecosystem around that standard. The engineering of the ISA itself is not what makes it remarkable, and actually leaves a lot to be desired.
Well, you can just not have kids. Then you don't flip into parenting mode. That was largely intentional for me. Although a couple wives were pretty persuasive. And I've been propositioned for sperm a few times. By women who liked my style, but could see that I'd make a shitty parent.
Advertisements are one thing but most of these "ads" are actually gathering more info than they advertise. JavaScript trackers are just awful if you care about privacy, which I do. It's pi-hole and no-script all the way for me until they stop with this rubbish.

Targeted ads are another kind of problem. I don't really want to be told or suggested what I should or could buy, I can make up my own mind. I know some people don't mind them and that's fine.

In all honesty I preferred the annoying pop ups.
This is interesting. Growing up, we had chickens, sheep, goats, cows, horses, dogs, cats and rabbits. And an unfortunate sampling of salamanders, frogs, horny toads, chipmunks, gophers, wild-rabbits, foxes, coyotes, hawks (various types), eagles (a few types), skunks, deer, antelope, raccoons and badgers. (I'm probably missing a few - and I've certainly left out small birds, which require their own reading as do snakes)

Left to their own devices (they weren't each individually heavily supervised - especially when on the range), of the domesticated ones, the only ones that would gorge themselves to death were the horses (when they thought they were getting away with something), with the minor exception of the dogs (who might eat the other animal's grain-based food out of jealousy, and explode their gut because they ate the wrong food because of stupidity)

I did not find that, unmonitored, most animals would eat too much of the wrong type of food for too long (loco-weed for cows might be an exception - but that didn't kill them).
I mean this is facially untrue. We’ve been undergoing a 70-year long period of deregulation, and it’s been overwhelmingly positive. (Not to mention, it’s been copied by nearly every Western European country, and has markedly improved what during the 1970s and 1980s were very weak economies.)

We can get next day packages from Amazon, for example, because of the deregulation of the airline and trucking industries: https://parcelindustry.com/article-5131-De-Regulation-of-the.... Previously, package delivery would take much long because packages would be transferred from carrier to carrier operating on regulated routes with regulated prices.

In the electric industry, deregulation of the generator side of the industry has caused wholesale electricity prices to plummet. Today, more than half the cost of electricity is from the still-regulated, retail distribution side.

As to airline deregulation: fatality rates per million passenger miles has trended linearly down since the 1960s. So have ticket prices. https://www.fastcompany.com/3022215/what-it-was-really-like-....

We have also largely avoided regulation of the first major post-FDR industry: the Internet. If the US operated the way it did in the 1950s and 1960s, we’d likely have regulated prices per ad impression and things like that. Instead, the industry has flourished in the absence of regulation.

There is a reason anti-deregulation screeds focus on isolated incidents and are heavy on narrative. Why are we fixating in one instance of failure instead of looking at what airline safety records have looked like over the past decades overall? Objective views of numbers and long term trends make the situation look far more rosey.
as I understand it (and I may be misunderstanding it), contracts are exactly like interfaces, except the type of parameters/return values is left to the implementation.

So an interface of "adder" would look like:

type adder interface {
Add(int) int
}

and it would only be able to support adding an int to something, and returning an int.
Doing this:

func AddStrings(a adder, b string) string {
return a.Add(b)
}

will break

A contract for "adder" would look like:

contract adder(T) {
T Add (T) T
}

You can then use this in a function by:

func addTheThings(type T adder)(t1, t2 T) T {
return t1.Add(t2)
}

which can then use any type that has an Add method

//can't extend native types, so we have to create an alias and extend that
type Addstring string

func (a Addstring)Add(b Addstring) Addstring {
return a+b
}

func (a Banana)Add(b Banana) Banana {
return Banana{a.Count + b.Count}
}

then your "addTheThings" function can operate on strings (via the Addstring type) and Bananas, and anything else that fulfills the contract. So the original example:

func AddStrings(a adder, b string) string {
if as,ok := a.(Addstring); ok {
return a.Add(b)
}
//raise an error here
}

On a separate note, why is "contract" becoming a keyword instead of "type foo contract {}"?
Making the common business concept of "contract" a keyword is likely to break backward compatibility for some code bases

> I don't see a world where Javascript vanishes and privacy gets any better.

If JavaScript vanished, it would accomplish one huge win for privacy: it would split the "reading content and submitting forms" part of the Web out from the "powerful applications" part.

It is cool that you can use JavaScript to build a collaborative 3D modeling program. It might even be better for privacy than a native app. But it is less cool that Facebook and every news site you read gets access to the exact same capabilities and attack surface as the 3D modeling program.

And personally, I think ordering pizza would land on the "content and forms" side of the divide.
Not to mention that the deposit will not be available until 3 to 5 business days after you check out. It usually takes that long for the release to go through. (because obviously in this day and age, technology is not yet fast enough to process a transaction in mere seconds).
Although I somwwhat agree with your assessment about Reddit users, your comment (on HN) doesn't put you in a very good position either. Your comment reeks of arrogance.

You should have been more elaborate and less arrogant.
I think you are maybe conflating people with slightly higher than average IQ's, like those who maybe were in NHS in high school or something, with geniuses. They are not at all the same thing.

There's a lot of debilitating ailments when you start getting into the top half of the 1% IQ elites. There are many people looking into the why's? and the how's? of that, because it is absolutely something that we should be trying to get a better understanding of.
Money is the new deity and we're selling out values to get it. Corruption and trust loss follow the insistence that the government can't be trusted. But it's a nation of spectators, people who want to be entertained, a decadent culture, not of citizens. It will continue to corrupt itself until we care to hold it accountable. And if we don't, it will turn into something where individuals have even less say than we do now.
I hope your balance of power theory has been mulled over at the pentagon. We need the best propagandists we’ve got keeping that taboo as strong as possible.
As someone of Iranian Heritage, even though I‘ve never been to Iran, because my Father fled the country after beeing sentenced to death twice, for fighting the Mullah Regime, the Ignorance and total lack of emphaty for Iranian Devs and Open-Source contributors displayed in this thread is shocking to me.
People who have nothing to do with politics and are already suffering under crippling economic sanctions as well under their own government are apparently not considered to be part of the „community“.
Giving them the „helpful“ advise to „fight“ their government even though there is currently no active opposition in Iran and every increase in tensions is making the majority of the population stand more firmly behind their government is just insane.

Can‘t you see that the people asking for support are not „enemies of america“ but instead people who consider the Trump administrations policies to be an abberation, non-representative of the will of the american people, who they consider to be their friends and Open-Source-Community Brothers ?
You, sir, are very arrogant.
“Best” Books on City-Making Ever Written
Sure. But it can be generated on refinery sites, using solids and extremely nonvolatile fractions as fuel.

I suspect that using outside electricity is a purely economic issue. That is, when the value of additional products produced is greater than the cost of extra electricity needed. So in that sense, oil refineries are like aluminum refineries, in that they can store surplus electricity.
Pre deregulation, the US government set the routes and prices, and even if an airline could exist. Eg. Southwest Airlines was forbidden to fly outside Texas. Prices were way higher and flight routes restricted. Very different today... Affordability and availability way up, overall enjoyment... that’s up to the traveler...

Are Microsoft and Google Cloud Catching AWS?
Absolutely. What is Javascript? It's andom pages all over the world telling your computer to download code from other random pages all over the world and execute it. Executable data is one of the first no-no-s of security.

A native app collaborative 3D program could be worse for privacy if it were closed source. If it were open source, then no way. For one thing, unlike a Javascripted one, it wouldn't update behind your back. Its code wouldn't be obfuscated, and wouldn't be dynamically pieced together from the four corners of the world.
It still comes down to the cost per unit of energy stored. If the electrolyte is a mediocre storage medium with low costs, it may not be competitive with an excellent storage medium with moderate costs, even after increased manufacturing costs.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's because the robots are well maintained and repaired faster. I don't think this is much different than people just taking pride in their work, which I suppose could be classified as an emotional connection.

It's unreasonable to expect initial modifications to start out as swathe modifications summing to tens of IQ points. The first gene modifications are going to be fixated on the safest changes that can be made to health and, along the road, things that correlate most convincingly with IQ and positive outcomes.

We'll only see increases in base rates of geniuses born at this point as an incidental byproduct of moving the line one step closer. The average person undergoing these modifications will be better off for it, and early failures will predominantly be due to issues in doing these modifications well, not intrinsic negative byproducts of IQ enhancement.

This is all speculation, but it makes more sense to me than how you presented it.
I think this comment misses the point by being myopic.

The great majority of devs are not very good. (Same for managers.) Here at HN you are only seeing the pretty good to great devs. Not boot camp grads and unranked school grads.

The other thing is that this comes from the management school of management. One where managers mentor ICs and managers drive skill growth. As opposed to the SV ideal (rarely met) where mgmt gets out of the way. They remove blockers, not give opportunities. They communicate information, not hoard it.

So, from the management school of management style, managing lackluster devs (the 90% that you reject at phone screen), it’s true. These devs get in over their head when the first thing they have to do is actually understand the spaghetti codebase. This is not a road to success for these devs.

With that POV and that reality in mind, the advice is sound.
Who are you to decide how people live their own lives? Sure, if Japan started trying to fund apartment blocks of these places in your country, maybe you could get pissed. But if these people choose these lives, there's no need to label it as plight.

Google and other ad businesses need to create "AMP for ads". Ads should allow only basic HTML elements without javascript. Figure out a way to track only what's really necessary, maybe even get allowed tracking level set by user in browser settings (an improved version of Do Not Track). That might be even used to check if user agrees to have cookies set. It should solve the annoying cookie banners issue too.
Finally, let's add option for user to select "text only" mode for ads to keep additional downloaded data to minimum and maybe even make ads accessible.
Update: And, of course, after a quick search I find that AMP for Ads is an actual product from Google https://amp.dev/about/ads/
Sorry for not researching before commenting.
I hate to say it, but I think that having someone in a clinical setting that serves as a patient rep (like a doctor lawyer) that the doctor is actually interested in listening to could be helpful. The biggest issue is patients don't know what's important to say, and doctors don't have the time or patience to probe the patient for enough details.

You're right... if you click "File a claim today" at the top it doesn't ask for your SSN.

If you scroll down and click "Find out if your information is impacted" that's where you put in the last 6 digits of your SSN and it tells you, and then brings you straight to the form if you're eligible.

I'm not sure what will happen if you file your claim but you weren't affected... it might just be ignored then?
Probably true but not nafarious/corrupt. It's just human nature that if you watch something and it appears to be safe for long enough, you stop watching so closely.

It's also alkind of a paradox: the safer something appears to be, the more the safety is taken for granted and pushed to unsafe levels. C.f. the mortgage crisis or a million other examples.
Do you feel like advertisers know that now? I feel like I hear about clickspam/ad fraud operations getting closed down (and nigh-instantly popping up elsewhere) on a constant basis.

Is this like intrusive DRM in PC games, where all the studies show that it increases producer costs and complexity, annoys consumers, and doesn’t actually improve sales revenue, but some companies do it anyway because “what about piracy?”
> There's a massive drive to consolidation: people don't want to have a lot of subscriptions to manage.

Imo subscriptions aren't viable at all. For me to subscribe to something I need strong evidence that I will use it enough.

Automatic micropayments with a daily allowance seem like a much superior solution. They remove the friction of making the subscribe decision and keep the content creators in check by only paying for interesting content. Subscriptions can be easily forgotten or aren't annoying enough to bother to cancel them even if the provided content isn't worth it anymore.
Bill Gates is building his own city (2017)
Government regulation can certainly help, as long as you can somehow ensure adequate expertise and actions are taken. For example, a lot of farm raised shrimp from outside the US is not what it is advertised to be. This impacts legit US producers who want to sell healthy food by putting them out of business. If the USDA and FDA actually were competently regulating, then this would not happen.

Aircraft are much more difficult. When making the 747, Boeing was faced with needing to have it certified by the FAA, but FAA did not have the expertise to do that. So Boeing worked with the FAA to develop the regs and tests and so on. I really cannot imagine how the FAA would ever be able to hold on to a competent aviation grade software engineer for very long. Even if they could hire one, within a year or two their skills would atrophe.
