I wonder what made them think being a lisp programmer would be off-putting to employers.
Maybe so, though equally could just be a small part in a larger puzzle or even a red herring.

However, as somebody who is on the autistic spectrum, I have noted that my index and "ring finger"[edit thanks to comment] are of equal lengths, a trait more common in females than males who tend to have one longer - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio

Another aspect/theory from personal experience is that my earliest memory was as a baby, equally I used to have a nightmare that abaieted when I was able to tell my mother who informed me of my birth complications and so much of my nightmare correlated, just seemed so related but then, never know for sure beyond once I knew this, my nightmares stopped. In short, maybe (least in my case) autistic people senses and other parts of the brain kick in earlier at a time when we are less able to process them and this becomes another party of the puzzle.

But would I change if I could go back in time and become normal is a question I have asked myself and the answer for me is - no, though the thought of what life would of been like, naturally yields to pondering.

3-4 grand of speakers will get you one Genelec. Unless you like listening in mono, that won't get you very far.

We built a similar thing using Tendermint. Not open source yet but already have several clients. Good to see other people appreciate similar move - a tokenless DLT.
Programmers aren't uniquely qualified or special either. Your job could be replaced by a cheap guy in India or Russia in seconds. Or even a cheaper recent grad. Eventually, AI will do your job.
It's incredible it's held up this long. It shows how much science actually is dogma. Human nature wins out over rationality.

"The point is that we have good reason to be skeptical, and we should follow the mantra of the mathematician (and Bayesian) Pierre-Simon Laplace, that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. By ignoring the necessity of priors, significance testing opens the door to false positive results."

Such an important quote. I believe the replication crisis is especially present in nutrition studies. We live in an age where headlines go viral and new wave diets are taken on in rapid succession. Take all nutrition studies with a grain of salt. (assuming, of course, that salt is good for you...or is it???)

You're basing your argument on cherrypicking one single pharmaceutical company that is doing exceptionally well recently because it had the second best selling drug of 2018, Harvoni, a drug to treat Hep C.

What about when you take all the pharma companies and average how well they do over several years? The average net profit margin for the industry is 14.05% according to a January 2018 study by New York University’s Stern School of Business.

14.05%, not great, not terrible.

In addition, the overwhelming majority of those dividends and share buybacks from one company are subsequently plowed back into the industry in different companies depending on which of those companies are working on the most profitable drugs.

I'd like to see something like this for traffic lights. imho traffic lights impede traffic, rather than helping the flow. For example, a light will turn red and stop traffic for no apparent reason for the sole fact its on a timer. Stopping traffic for no reason is a waste of time. I'd rather replace traffic lights for roundabouts
One of my first posts on HN was asking how people, especially ones working remote or in small offices, manage to deal with loneliness. I was overwhelmed by the number of replies, and saddened that it seems to be a really common issue.

Part of the article says "Still, the findings on millennial are surprising." which... I think at this point you have to deliberately go out of your way to avoid articles on loneliness (in the millennial age group). They're a pretty hot topic right now, especially with the realization of the physical health impacts chronic loneliness has.

I still struggle with feeling lonely on a daily basis. It's really hard. But, one thing that seems to help, at least sometimes: Strike up a conversation with a stranger. Sometimes it goes sour, but the majority of the time I find that the stranger I strike up a conversation with is just as eager to have a conversation. Considering loneliness is pretty common, you'll likely be striking up a conversation with someone who is lonely as well.

Personal responsibility, in and of itself, is not usually considered to be a benefit. It is considered a thing one has to undertake to achieve a benefit.

You seem to be suggesting that if I intend to visit mywebsite.com, that typing "myw", seeing "mywebsite.com", and hitting enter is somehow less deliberate than typing "mywebsit.com" and going to a site that was not my intent.

Given that only the first one of these things reflects my intent, describing the second as deliberate and the first as not-deliberate requires some odd twisting of definitions.

Your fear, it seems to be, is that tools we use might influence how we act. This is nothing new. Stories started to rhyme less when we figured out how to write things instead of memorizing them. That was still probably undoubtedly an improvement. So can you perhaps clarify what specific influences that our tools have might be bad? For example, my browser suggesting "mywatertower.com" instead of "mywebsite.com" because the first paid for a higher position.

That seems a reasonable end state to fear, but I have no reason to believe we're heading that direction. Do you? Is inconveniencing (literally) billions of people and forcing them to take less secure paths to do what they want worth avoiding a possibility that certainly doesn't seem imminent?

It's difficult to say what they spend on Phone R&D, but Samsung spends about 11-12% on R&D in general. Huawei and Google clock in around 15% by public numbers and Intel for comparison sits about 20%. Microsoft is somewhere around 12-13%.

Apple's total R&D spending is well below their contemporaries as a % of revenue.

In the US, the term EDM is also used mostly to refer to the BS played at big festivals.

Eventually, yeah. But that's kind of touching on the actual problem, isn't it? Homelessness isn't just a lack of houses. It's also a social and psychological problem, and you can't fix just one of those things and hope the problem goes away.
You're right about switchers, but I wonder if this is a missed opportunity. If I switched to Android, I might still want to use iMessage. I'd probably still want to be plugged into shared photo libraries between family members. I honestly prefer Apple Maps to Google Maps at this point. But I'm not sure how Apple would monetize this, or if they'd want to give people any incentive to switch.
If they do this doesn't this mean 5 cities will dictate who is in charge of the country?
Their ruling was that the Supreme Court is not the decider here, this has to be done at a state level.
In a way, isn't this kind of what insurance against theft should be for? I.e. you can't eliminate all petty crime, as there's diminishing returns on efforts put into preventing it, but insurance can ensure the occasional victim can get compensation.
That's a price, not a balance or amount transferred. Any sub-cent stuff is handled internally by the gas station, then rounded to the nearest cent and transferred to external banking APIs. The gas station is free to use whatever representation it wants for the price and quantity, so long as it rounds to the nearest cent before pushing to the API.
>>>The fact that there are parts that are explicitly given as being symbolic. This is actually addressed in the New Testament when Christ explains that he teaches in parables because he's speaking directly to a specific level of understanding.

You missed the symbolism here. What you thought he meant was actually symbolism for an entirely different meaning. There's about 4 layers of indirection here meaning that each symbolic representation is in itself a symbolic representation of something else. This happens on four distinct levels. Reinterpreting this statement the correct way can change the entire interpretation of the bible.

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but that's definitely an active area of music recommendation research. There was someone in the lab at my university (BYU) who was/is working on a project he called pop*, although I'm not finding it with a quick google search. It's a system for composing new music, but part of the idea is that by figuring out how to make a system that understands the elements of music composition, it'll help in other areas like music recommendation too.

As time goes on I am planning to integrate things like this into Lagukan. I think a major problem with mainstream recommenders is that they mix together the two problems of 1) deciding when and how often to play songs the user already knows, 2) recommending entirely new songs. Lagukan is an ensemble recommender, i.e. it combines different algorithms. The core algorithm I've made is focused entirely on problem #1, but the plan is to incorporate lots of different approaches (e.g. algorithms based on compositional elements) for problem #2, and then have Lagukan be able to adapt to what works for individual people.
I tried a few times to give the rails tutorial to rank beginners and they couldn't get from power user to programmer without major hand holding or sheer maddening drive. The learning curve is still too steep.

This book got me into the tech industry. Not because it taught be Rails, but because it showed me that I was capable of building features that seemed difficult and complex with relative ease as long as I approached it with the right methodology and determination.

Apple has done a fairly good job of offering devices across the pricing spectrum. Their strategy has largely been to bump last years phone down a notch when the new models come out. You can buy a brand new iPhone 7 for $299. Budget Android phones can go lower, where Apple competes by selling refurbished phones.
