> That doesn't make the field a fraud though.

No it doesn't. What does make the field fraud is the Rosenhan experiment, and related experiments, which proved empirically:

1) psychiatrists cannot identify mental illness

2) psychiatrists cannot identify absence of mental illness

And we're not talking 1% false positives or false negatives. We're talking 100% false positives, and ~17% false negatives were observed. That is not reasonable. It's not even that it was up to chance, that they didn't know, as that would obviously result in 50% figures. 100% (and anything over 50%) can only be explained by psychiatrists purposefully, willfully misdiagnosing patients. But it gets worse.

3) ALL psychiatrists tested used drugs on these patients that were misdiagnosed. Every last one.

4) Despite learning the truth, 100% were unwilling to change their opinion and instead used physical violence, and the threat of more physical violence against their patients to extract compliance.

This is not just damning. This is consistent, 100% fraud. Nothing else can explain these figures. Needless to say, the experiment has been repeated, verified through different means, even in popular culture and TV shows. Every time the results were equally damning.

These experiments took place in 1887, 1968, 1973, 1988, and 2008. Similar studies exist for youth protection and mental health diagnosis. There has been no improvement over time.

And many studies claim that diagnoses always follow the space available in mental health programmes, whether inpatient or outpatient, in a way that no other medical discipline has ever seen. Many papers point out that it is supply of care, not demand, that determines the amount of mental disorders in the population.

Furthermore, every real illness has systematically been removed from psychiatry into normal medicine. Not one have they been able to hold on to. Examples: epilepsy, narcolepsy, aneurysms, hysteria, herpes, many forms of intoxication and drug use, various forms of hormone imbalances (and quite a few diseases causing them), TONS of disorders that cause pain, ...

There are still "unsolved" real diseases that are treated in psychiatry, only because there is no treatment for them, well known ones are Parkinson and Dementia, Low IQ, Down syndrome and others. Again there are many types of intoxication that fall under this umbrella, which includes abuse of psychiatric medication itself, sometimes by psychiatrists or other psychiatric personnel.

Other psychiatric illnesses turned out to be racism or social biases of psychiatrists and nothing more, like homosexuality, prostitution (still often done, today), feminism and even then we're ignoring "Aktion T4" and a lot more such efforts.

It is not very well known, but the battle in the US for acceptance of homosexuality and to a lesser extent feminism focused on removal of psychiatry from the lives of people.

There are many reasons the field is fraudulent and people working in it know that it is.

well not 'no one'. When 90% of the page is to be replaced, a full reload gives better feedback and synchronicity.
> I used to work for an airline as a software engineer (different from a company that makes airplanes, but you brought up airlines, so I think it's valid).

Airframe software is a totally different ballgame than airline operations management software.

When I worked on the 757 on flight critical systems (stab trim) the engineers I worked with took great pride in making the designs as good as possible. Nobody wanted to sign off on a design that they'd get a phone call on years later as being the cause of a pile of dead bodies.

I personally am proud that none of the stuff I worked on or any of the guys I knew worked on has been a factor in any incidents I've ever heard of.
> There's a very slight advantage of Intel CPUs in non-GPU constrained games (which means more or less 1080p only...). Very slight. Price/performance falls on Ryzen 3 so hard it's foolish to get an Intel for sure.

it's not a huge advantage, but I'm not sure I would go so far as to call it foolish to buy intel at this point. if your only serious workload is gaming, intel seems like the obvious choice to me. you can actually get a decent all-core overclock on the intel parts, which leads to a significant performance lead in esports titles.
They could. LA has been painting their streets white to combat the heat island effect, think how much more effective it would be to replace all their roads with canals!
They're just describing the difference between good development practices and bad ones.
There's a reason Qt had to invent the MOC.
They reported seeing the Tic Tac descend from 20,000 feet in just an instant, stopping at the surface of the ocean. This and other reports suggest a propulsion system that alters spacetime and mass, so that there's no inertia. We Earthmen have no such technology.

Last year in Shenzhen, a young man walked up to me and excitedly said, "My name is Will, lets get rich together!"
Yeah, that seems to be what their attitude is. I have a couple of major issues with that though.

1. Relying on segmentation to protect vulnerable components is not a reasonable standard operating procedure. Segmentation is supposed to be an additional layer of protection, you’re also supposed to secure individual components.

2. It seems as though the researcher believed there may have been a way to bypass some of the segmentation (the segmentation between the medium-sensitive network and the highly-sensitive network). The article kinda implies that they didn’t test that layer of segmentation, that they only tested the most external layer (the segmentation between the non-sensitive network and the medium-sensitive network).

The whole response comes across as dismissive spin, that they hope will be consumed by people who don’t have a particularly sophisticated understanding of network/application security.
I've never even seen a company that properly tracks assets when they're only defined as "servers" and "software packages". The closest I saw with hardware, before virtualization really took over, was when the datacenter wasn't allowed to hand out IP addresses to new servers without them being in the master inventory list. Then virtualization happened and things got bad again. Any company with Devops is going to run into challenges too.

Windows has had multiple breaking changes to the driver ABI between Windows XP and present. There is no "proper" futureproof driver ABI, otherwise there would be a major OS using one.
OpenBSD has a new release every 6 months, which includes a new set of packages. Or you can help test -current snapshots, which has at least on amd64/i386 new packages generally every 24 hours, depending on the point in release cycle we're in, or if a hackathon is in progress.

> People on FreeBSD use poudriere for that, but that doesn't exist for OpenBSD.

This is no longer true. If people want to build their own -stable packages, they can use dpb(8), the distributed ports builder. This is used by the official ports build clusters.

https://man.openbsd.org/dpb

Many OpenBSD developers would like for there to be -stable packages, and that may even happen again someday. But it requires a level of commitment and coordination from many people, who might be otherwise preoccupied (ports development happens on -current). All I can say on that front is stay tuned.
>Maybe because AMD can't keep up with demand for their new CPUs.

You're confusing bandwidth and latency. Ryzen 3000 launched a month ago, the 3900x outperformed expectations, so the initial shipments sold out faster than expected. You can't magic up stock out of thin air, so there's an inevitable lag between retailers reporting unusually high demand and AMD being able to deliver sufficient stock.

The bandwidth question is much more important and bodes very poorly for Intel. TSMC's 7nm process is stable, providing excellent yields and has plenty of available capacity; they're already in risk production for 5nm, which is expected to free up substantial capacity at 7nm/7nm+ into 2020. Intel's 10nm has been a complete debacle and (despite the Ice Lake launch) is still blighted with sub-par yields.

T-Mobile, at least, has a VVM app for Android.
There’s still a slight performance advantage with gaming. On top of the fact that it’s still hit or miss getting any Ryzen 9s and getting an i9 is easy, anyone who is shelling out for the RTX 2080 GPUs will probably go Intel.

On top of which, given the history, those building gaming machines will assume Intel’s next 10nm cpus will still outshine AMDs in gaming for the foreseeable future.

WebP will never take off due to Apple not supporting it. If Apple chooses to support the AV1-based AVIF, that will become the next big format instead. Apple has joined the AOM so there is a reason to believe they will (but then again they also joined the Blu-ray consortium and never shipped a Blu-ray drive)

As someone who makes a living with react, I'd still turn to webflow if I had to throw together a quick design or help a friend out. Just feels way quicker and wysiwyg than doing it all by hand. Cheers for building such a nice product, and you know, surviving.
If you're not averse to "sailing the high seas", so to speak, the ISOs are readily available online and don't require activation to be fully usable (as long as you're able to tolerate the Windows activation nag watermark and the lack of theme personalization, though I'm sure there are ways to "fix" both of those).
Sounds like it would be easier to enrich the browser with native-look controls than create another cross-platform ecosystem. (Let alone that none of the platform owners want to share developoers with the other platforms / they have incentive to lock them in)
Ask anyway. Be prepared to walk, to give you more negotiating power. You don’t have to threaten to leave but having other option will make you stronger. Don’t worry about offending, coming across too greedy etc. be greedy! Ask for a lot and say you need a salary and you are not in a position to invest your own money.
So long as they're spending most of their cash on maintaining out of tree patchesets for the Linux kernel, that is tens to hundreds of millions a year in wasted money on their part.

Eventually the community will write their own drivers (as has happened with Mali) and the respective vendor will have a reckoning internally (like what happened with AMD's GPU driver) whereby those advocating for wasting money on out of tree code leave the organization with egg on their face for bilking the company out of significant R&D cash.

It is very hard to claim that its worth it to develop a proprietary driver when a comparable performance driver already exists for your hardware in-tree. The in-tree driver will almost certainly be easier to use & break less often than out of tree code that the kernel devs don't think or care about breaking.
What kind of MoviePass-like products were operating in AU?
Looking at North Korea's fleet was an incredibly interesting Wikipedia hole I went down earlier this year (link below). The mixture of indigenous and foreign built, looking at their age and getting an idea of when they built a lot and when they didn't, and looking at totals is interesting. Especially since it's supposed to be a cohesive fleet. This wikihole also pairs well with reading about their naval doctrine.

Maybe for commercial boats that are often in use.

I live where there are quite a few sport fishermen, many have bass boats. But even the hardcore enthusiasts might go out a day or two a week, for a total of maybe 10 hours. The vast majority probably put less than 100 hours a year on the boats.

So..... maybe big reduction in emissions, but only for a short while. The cars don't make the same reduction, but they're in use a lot more hours.
The thing is you can't even get Ryzen inside a Dell or Lenovo machine - so for businesses it's kind of hard to get onboard with they hype. So intel is going to keep up market share until AMD can get into some prebuilt systems.
True, but if it's critically underfunded everywhere then it's what we have now where it's just the cost of doing business and a risk you account for.

I would imagine most sites on the internet could be exploited by someone targeted and ultimately relying on the fact that their data/site isn't valuable enough to attack in the first place.

Tangentially, for nearly a decade I've been looking for consumer-oriented wireless thermometers.

Something that I can either query over the network (any protocol), or that uploads to some cloud service that I can inspect. This was the original selling point of ZigBee, but it sounds like it only exists for industrial applications. Does anyone know of a $10-$30 network-capable thermometer?

I know they're relatively easy to hack together, as the OP project (and so many others like it) shows, but I'm specifically looking for a turnkey consumer solution, not something I'll have to spend a couple hours and multi-sourced parts to put together.

For actual blocking, I run a Pi-hole on a VPS that connects to multiple DNSCrypt servers that I control, which block everything I want while improving privacy.

In the early 2000s Jakob Nielson popularised website usability through his books and his deceptively simple website useit.com. Big companies were paying him big bucks to have him simplify their websites much to the annoyance of the Java astronauts peddling n-tier jumbo sites. I often wonder what Nielson make of the insidious trend of using React & Angular for minimally dynamic websites.

> Why would they when Israel doesn't recognize Palestine as a state?

In order to get Palestine recognized by Israel as a state.

> Do you think that if they did recognize Israel then Israel would automatically return the favor and recognize a Palestinian state?

Israel holds regular elections in which power is peacefully handed over. The Israeli public is a lot more likely to recognize a Palestinian state if that state's actions include something better than continual promises to restore Jews to a subjugated state.

But, Hamas's Gaza continues to hold rallies in which such lovely slogans as "Palestine is ours and the Jews are our dogs."

Seems a little counter productive.
Physical space is almost never a constraint in data centers. It's power and cooling that are almost always the limit.

If AMD's chips offer better performance/watt, that would make them attractive. The capital cost of purchasing a server tends to be a smaller number than the cost of the power to run and cool it over its lifetime.

However, what also matters is vendor support. Lots of companies have contracts for pricing and support on servers, and they won't necessarily change to save even a large amount of money on one generation of hardware. So for adoption of Zen2 CPUs in the data center, it will be critical for AMD to get the big names on board.

A thing I learned several years ago that makes a lot of these "running out" articles less troublesome is that having "X years" of reserves for a compound really means "The places we have bothered to look are sufficient to fill demand for X years."

When the reserves start getting low, you go look in some other likely place, and lo and behold, Y more years of reserves!
It’s not complicated, you kids are just spoiled.

JavaScript I was paid to write in 1995 had a shelf life of 6 months given Netscape’s release schedule and I had to compete on performance with Delphi 3 native compiled code.

If you think web development is too complicated these days, you should just dump it all and write cgi scripts in Perl again.

Or if you’re an academic, Smalltalk + Seaside.

If there is a problem with modern web development, it is the curse of too much choice. Focus on your end goal, and the choices available will become a blessing, not a curse.
And my point is that, statistically, if you want the lowest risk of injury in the real world you'll buy the one star box truck because you'll have triple the mass of 90% of the vehicles that could possibly hit you.

Everybody buys 5 star cars. So there's an abundance of them. When a Chevy Spark crashes into a Toyota Corolla it's a good representation of what crash tests simulate. Sure they could make every car crash into a semi truck and give them a rating but none of the dummies would survive. None of them. Even the mighty Tesla. But trucker Bob goes home to his family at the end of every shift.
