The opposite of extreme self-citing is self-plagiarism (either out of ignorance, to avoid extreme self-citing on ground-breaking research, or with malicious intent: passing the same paper to multiple journals as a new result).

> The rate of duplication in the rest of the biomedical literature has been estimated to be between 10% to 20% (Jefferson, 1998), though one review of the literature suggests the more conservative figure of approximately 10% (Steneck, 2000). https://ori.hhs.gov/plagiarism-13

If work by another author was enough to inspire you and add a reference, then your own previous work should certainly qualify, if it added inspiration to the current paper. Self-citing provides a "paper trail" for the reader when they want to investigate a claim or proof further.

(Like PageRank, it is very possible to discount internal PR/links under external links, and when you also take into account the authority of the referencer, you avoid scientists accumulating references from non-peer reviewed Arxiv publications).

> Also, the comment you're replying to did nothing to indicate that the mentally ill are subhuman.

Probably the scare-quotes around "human rights" in the first sentence when in the context of the mentally ill, and talking about protecting humans from them as if they weren't human, too.

I suppose it's ambiguous, but it's not hard to interpret it like that.

It seems like you are making an effort to describe the situation in a manner that connotes authority and facts, but it would be more constructive if you used terms with clear definitions and provided the numbers that you are describing.

Dang has said they already look for this sort of behaviour and ban accounts if discovered. You're implying that nothing is done at all. You're implying that dang hasn't looked at the database and tried to sort this, and that it's an easily solvable problem. If it were, I'm sure dang would have automated it. Twitter and Facebook struggle with this, so the problem is not solved.
That seems like a pretty big error... With a launch is pivotal as this, you would think they would do more testing to ensure you’d at least be able to make purchases at launch.
Would you be willing to pay 10% more of your taxes your whole career for this? I'm sure everything wants what you want, but I think the question is at what cost.
I thought I had things I wanted to do if only I had time.

When I had the luxury of taking the last year off I found out that the idea of doing those things was far more appealing than actually doing them. I started to go a little crazy.

Now I’m looking for work, not because I have to right now, it because I’m bored.
The IP/patents was doomed to expire anyway.
But hey they got a free PR stunt out of it.

Anyway it will be interesting what "non expired" patents they bundle with this. Mostly because of https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/patent_exhaus...

which would allow people in the US to use these patents in any context as long, they derived their worked from an Open Source Power processor which got the patents exhausted and did not violate the Open Source license the processor.
I've started answering the question "What do you do?" With "I study primate behavior."
How doesn’t it? You didn’t address a single point here.

Many government agencies make no money, as they’re not profitable organizations (I’d argue the entire government is de facto a non-profit organization but that’s a separate argument). The few that are able to make money would typically do so for their own ends (like taxing gasoline for maintaining roads). The IRS is one of the few organizations that generates income for the government specifically to spread across other agencies.

What’s insane to me is people talking about this like there’s no ceiling to how much money the IRS can take or that if the IRS went to $0 per employee that would somehow be a good thing. It’s the same thing when people say NASA generates income for the country therefore we should fund it more. Be intellectually honest with yourselves, if we funded the IRS or NASA or any other entity that makes $X/employee, there is a point where that funding becomes suboptimal. And I’m not seeing anyone discuss what the optimal amount is here, it just seems like you think the amount is “more” because taxing people is “good.”
Any usb-c key should work on Android. Firefox has been recently updated to support webauthn, so you no longer have to turn u2f on. Note that some sites, like Google, only allow you to register the key on Chrome, but then you can use it on Firefox too.
Why did you name this “Dashboard”? Very confusing since “dashboard” is such a generic and well-used term in software engineering.

I was forced to encounter Web2Py in an open-source project several years ago. It was awful. Besides the fact that it's stuck in Python 2 (seriously, even today?), it had a lot of bizarre design decisions. For instance, it loaded controllers by concatenating files in a directory - alphabetically. I know Python's import system can confuse some folks, but surely there was a better way. The whole thing left a very sour taste in my mouth, so I rewrote the application in Flask - unfortunately, the lead developers didn't seem interested in my fork. I've moved far away from their project, but I'm not sure what they're going to do come 2020.
Just to repeat what I tried to express elsewhere: I think your perspective is valuable. I think you should keep sharing it, as long as you do so within HN's guidelines (which you've mostly but not always done). But we do also have a rule asking people not to use HN primarily to argue about politics. The best would be for you to participate in other threads that gratify your curiosity as well—even if only to ask questions and learn. That would be much easier for us, because otherwise people are going to complain about why we enforce that rule in some cases but not others.
This is where we get into O(1) != fast territory. Algorithmic complexity has a weak relationship to CPU performance, not a strong one.

If you want to find something in a set storing it as an array and doing a linear scan will beat a std::unordered_set up to a shockingly large number of items due to how CPU's work.

In particular it's the pointer chasing aspect of std::unordered_set that becomes a problem (an issue shared with _most_ hash set implementations). Remember an unordered_set is not an array of items, it's an array of buckets of items (this is how hash collision is handled). Worse still, those buckets are usually linked lists. It typically can't be speculated effectively and it can't be prefetched effectively, so you become memory latency bound during an un-cached lookup. And memory latency is just shy of absolutely terrible. If you're expecting L1/L2/L3 cache hits on lookups then you're not dealing with vary large sizes probably and you're going to get much better cache density with the flat array than the array-of-buckets.

There are alternative hashsets that are flat and avoid this, but they are less common and as far as I know no standard implementation on any language uses such a hash set. There's a good talk about such a dense, flat hash set here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncHmEUmJZf4

There is no set limit like with the match or residencies. New schools can open up, existing schools can increase class size or run additional classes to match demand, and they have the incentives to do so.
Ah right, multiseat desktop.

Well, I guess the Mac Pro is fine for that, as long as you're fine with the Mac OSX operating system. The Mac Pro line hasn't really had many updates, so maybe the 5-year heuristic doesn't really apply.

If you narrow yourself to a specific niche well enough, you'll see the same names in citations. To be fair, the areas I dig into don't feel nearly as competitive as say, physics, which I couldn't make heads or tails of.

The whole reason the internet and wikis took off is we were very liberal in how we linked. If we disallowed inbound citations, wouldn't it be a lot harder to backtrack and grasp contextual underpinnings?

Anecdote: In the field of adult attachment theory <-> love there are a few prominent scholars that cite each other: Shaver, Hazan, Mikulincer. They do papers citing their own work and each other [1]. There's also a book by Mikulincer highlights Shaver's upbringing with his parents, his past as a hippy, etc. They're delivering very nice content, and they cite others outside their ("circle"?)

Are there potentially scholars in the field with valuable contributions that go unnoticed? Possibly. It doesn't make self-citations in their papers any less helpful. Also I worry that regulating citations through some system may affect the quality of content and fix something that's not broken.

Which brings me to another issue, aren't we supposed to be helping each other?

[1] Example: http://adultattachmentlab.human.cornell.edu/HazanShaver1990....
Your comment intrigues me. Care to elaborate on what kind of passive income structure you have established, to give you that "financial cushion"?
You can choose your manager and try to be under someone who acts as you expect though.

I’m all for the old saying “change your environment or change your environment”, but that doesn’t work either.

If your manager happen to get to his position because of his technical skills more than his interpersonal skills and relates to you, more than likely he won’t be as effective at managing up and will be outmaneuvered by his peers when it comes to getting his people resources, promotions, raises, recognition, etc

I’ve only once had a manager who was both solid technically and solid politically. When I cared about learning and a mentor, having a manager who was strong technically and not politically was great. But, you have to realize that you probably won’t get the raises or promotions. Use the opportunity to do Resume Driven Development and move on to a company to make more money.

If you have a manager who is strong politically but not technically, the goal is to get him to trust you, make him look good and make it in his best interest to help you achieve your goals whether technical or financial to keep you.

Is it a Machiavellian mindset? Yes and I’m okay with that. I’ve been at this way too long to be idealistic.

I have 3 gbps of upload bandwidth at my house. (1 Comcast fiber line with 2 gbps symmetric, and one Verizon fiber line with 1 gbps symmetric.) I still host everything on One Drive because what the heck is the point of hosting your own servers as a consumer?
This reads a bit like if you posted that you were going to restore your Camaro Z28 with modern parts, and someone replied, "Why not a Corvette?"
I don't believe in human rights. But about the second part: by "humans" I also meant the mentally ill. (By helping them, you're protecting them from themselves, too.)
Something you may not see being inside the industry is that there is a tendency and a fear of mental health professionals being used as a threat to enforce the overton window. "You believe Epstein was murdered? You'll be committed if you say that too publicly".

It would probably be better both for your aims and those of the parent commentator if rather than defend your practices and instances where you do practice involuntary committal, if you specified the wide range of cases where the public believes involuntary committal would happen and it wouldn't actually.

And for all our peace of mind, please do keep an eye on whether that list starts to shrink. Acquaintances who want to change the subject aren't the only ones who want to enforce the overton window.
All my software is in Bitbucket for two reasons: Free private repos and Mercurial. Now that Github has free private repos and Atlassian is removing support for Mercurial, I have no remaining reason to keep my repos in Bitbucket. Sayonara, Bitbucket. You just created a Github customer.
any figures or citations?
That's just wrong. I have seen many patients request ECT (many of them are well-educated) because they've tried everything else and are medication resistant. It's only significant side effects are temporary memory issues. ECT should be used more not less, it is way safer and more effective than many medications psych or not.

Patient's are typically brought into a surgical suite, put to sleep and given paralytics as if they were having a surgery. The brain is shocked for like 10 seconds, the patient is asleep and paralyzed, no convulsions happen, no discomfort to the patient. The anesthetics wear off in a couple minutes, the patient wakes up and is able to go home, just as if it were some minor outpatient surgery.
This is not pagerank. But they really should use pagerank in this nature article because (very likely) it will blow away this self-citation problem. People should be able to self-cite as much as they want. Not using pagerank is the problem.
when self-citation is OK and when it is not OK should be part of one's academic training/phd training.

PLOS gives reasonable citation guidelines, and in this context their Rule 5 is particular relevant: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jo...
Ah, they indeed have a shorter spec, but it's at 2611 pages now https://static.docs.arm.com/ddi0596/d/ISA_A64_xml_v85A-2019-...

That would be cool, though I'd prefer an approach where the channels maintain a database of the pname/version combo for every package in the channel, and an API where you can query to find out what version of the channel contained a given pname/version combo for a given attribute path. Then you can just download the tarball for that version, no git needed anywhere.

In theory, that database could also just be included in the channel so it could be queried locally, but I don't know how large it would end up being.
Yes, I figured. What do you mean about not believing in human rights, though? I'm intrigued.

I mean you can't be saying you don't believe they exist, because they're a human invention. Are you saying you don't believe they should exist?
Lol that's definitely what happened. Looked back after this and had a laugh at myself. It's been a long day. I appreciate the defense but I don't find the "whoosh" comment offensive. I'll own up to my lapse.
To add another data point, I had no problems making the first purchase with it (or any purchases since).
Isn't the largest shareholder Vanguard, by far? My impression based on a cursory Googling is that Vanguard has about 130 million shares, whereas the largest individual shareholder, Jim Walton, only has about 10 million.

In fact all of the top 10 shareholders of Walmart have more shares (>10M) than any of the Waltons, it appears:

Oh, the community wants them. It's been Sun then Oracle and now the OpenJDK project that has never prioritized these things and that's the runtime 99% of JVM shops run.
I think the amount of tax one contributes would be dependent on how much income one makes. I might contribute 4% where another might contribute 10%.

Besides, I already pay for health insurance and deductibles. So if I don’t have to pay for those but instead have a tax, and I’m covered when I don’t have an employer? Yes, sign me up.

The more senior you get the more your performance is going to be impacted by things outside your control -- or the corollary, that the more senior you are the more things are within your control. Luck still matters, though in time, I think you get better at identifying what constitutes a good situation and getting yourself into it; the same goes for getting out of a bad one.

I think that we could add some random (i.e. pure luck) factor for evaluation. Although this may sound unfair, almost all optimization problems do this, be it natural or man-made. Evolution does this by adding random gene mutation, and machine learning does this by randomizing certain parameters to avoid being stuck at local minima. In theory, the right mixture of rigid metrics and randomization can make a better result.

While those overcomingbias articles are nice and true they only offer a limited perspective.

http://www.overcomingbias.com/2015/03/advice-shows-status.ht... : "High-power participants in the study ignored almost two-thirds of the advice they received" - in almost any "game" (or situation that can be modeled by game theory) it may be wise to test the advice of even the best expert you are given. Maybe ignoring advice isn't irrational but actually optimal in order to truly learn or even advance on the current optimal solution to any given situation and maybe the high-powered participants intuitively know this and that's why they're high-powered in the first place.

http://www.overcomingbias.com/2014/01/advice-isnt-about-info... : advice giving and receiving is based on respect but it also builds trust and connection. Why would I build trust with someone who is getting out of the game when I can get advice from any number of people in the game which have similar amounts of wisdom and experience? I get the wisdom and I have a better chance of getting good opportunities from the person in the game whereas I can only get wisdom from the retiree.

Next week I'm going to start coaching a FIRST Lego League team, with a whole bunch of fourth, fifth, and sixth graders.

The team structure I have in mind needs a couple of project managers-- one for their robot project and one for their community project.

I have on my agenda to ask a couple kids if they'd like to be in these roles. I hope they say yes because I think they'd be good at it and it's an opportunity for growth. There are other decent candidates if they say no.

This is the exact verbiage on my notes for the meeting "Would you like ...". It also includes cautioning them that they probably will get to do less of certain kinds of fun things (the robot game) but will be in a position of importance and responsibility and growth.

Acceptable answers are "yes!" or "I'd really rather _____, because ______." "No" is OK since they're kids, but not really a great answer to an option offered.
Its 171k fires in 2 years not per year. You need the total Teslas vs ICE cars in the road to compare those figures. Even then not sure if its a good comparision because Tesla is on the luxury side, it should be compared with ICE cars in the same price range, not any chinese car with little safety.

Common sense tells me that a big,unstable ion lithium battery at high speeds is not a good idea, gasoline is much less reactive than people think.
Ok I think I get it, but if your backend is say, making a single API call and sending that result back to the user, then there's no advantage to going async since the user has to wait for that network call anyways, right?

Would you use this async then in instances where some of the API calls don't matter to your user?

That's completely absurd, at least here in the U.S. If a psychiatrist involuntarily admitted someone just because the patient believed in a conspiracy theory they should be rightfully sued by the patient and would certainly win the case. That would be gross malpractice.

Moreover, there is no incentive for psychiatrists to be admitting people inappropriately. Psychiatrists are physicians and want to feel like they're actually doing something useful like everyone else. I have no interest in admitting a patient that doesn't have a treatable illness. There are plenty of patients with real illnesses to treat.
