No. And I don't think that inflation ever reached ~30% which is how the gold price performed 2006-2011. It isn't a perfect proxy. I'm happy to say it isn't a proxy at all.

But I don't believe the long-term real price of gold is rising and it certainly does not offer a financial yield in real terms. Explaining today's prices vs the ~$500 base after the 1980s bubble is much easier if we assume that inflation is about equal to the amount of money in the system (aka the M2) instead of the CPI.

I'd bet (as in, I'm basing my financial planning decisions) that the next time gold spikes up in price it will imply inflation from 2011 has been higher than 2% too. My money is on the price of gold tracking closer to the M2 monetary supply than CPI inflation over the long term.

I don't understand why people do that. Your 2nd authentication factor should not be something relying on the same device that you're using.
Focusing on any of those numbers misses the point: people are killing themselves for actual reasons, and addressing those reasons (namely: by actually maintaining a robust mental healthcare system, and by doing what we can to end or at least significantly reduce poverty) will cause all suicides to decrease in frequency.

Also, you know what takes even less willpower than passing a background check (or stealing/borrowing/buying a gun + ammo from someone else illegally), paying hundreds of dollars for a gun + ammo, pointing it at the right spot on one's own head (to actually die instead of just maiming oneself) and pulling the trigger? Buying $20 worth of over-the-counter painkillers and chugging the bottle, or buying a $10 bottle of hard liquor and chugging that (with or without the painkillers), or running a $5 tube from the exhaust of a running car to the interior and taking a nap.

And on that note, firearms are only more popular than other means of suicide among males; per your source, females typically prefer poisoning (though firearms are almost tied). Both males and females have an equally-high tendency (around 25%) to commit suicide via suffocation (and for females under 24, that skyrockets to almost an absolute majority). A "perfect" world where firearms don't exist won't make those go away, and the people who'd kill themselves with guns would almost certainly gravitate toward other means (as the multitude of suicidal young people without firearms access already tend to do).

(Additionally: your source doesn't seem to specify whether or not those numbers are for actual deaths or attempts; lots of people survive their suicide attempts, whether because they didn't use an effective method or because someone intervened. It'd be interesting to see that distinction; I suspect the graphs are only recording actual deaths, which means that firearms are going to be skewed because they're more effective at actually ensuring death, while poisoning and suffocation might be far more popular but less effective.)
I feel these type of questions are hazing to make sure you prepared for the interview. In any case prepare and blast through them.

I've had similarly poor customer service regarding Apple IDs recently. Something on Apple's side is preventing Apple IDs from being created with emails at my employer's primary domain, and after being bounced between a half-dozen support people, Apple's guidance so far has been "we can give you a 30 day whitelist which you can use to create a whole bunch of Apple IDs" or "have employees create Apple IDs with their personal emails that don't yet have Apple IDs and then change the email to a company one".

The US fails on a number of points:

- slavery: the 13th amendment contains a large loophole that permits slavery on prisoners

- dignity: separation of parents from the children at detention centers, and lack of sanitary conditions and healthcare

- healthcare: general a lack/insecurity of healthcare, prescriptions, and mental healthcare

- grotesque poverty: several hundred thousand homeless people and 171 million Americans have little or no savings

- grotesque inequality: 3 billionaires have more wealth than the bottom 50%

Most Americans don't realize how bad they have it.

DNA isn't the only thing that has to stay mutation free for an organism to not age.
Could we draw a list?

Your example on prion is incorrect as prion are misfolded proteins made by buggy DNA genes.

Another thing that I identify as contributing to aging other than cell DNA is mitochondrial DNA (it's weird to realize we have two different DNA in each cells)

Does other organelles apply?

There's a pretty good outline of which kinds of projects Haskell is well suited for by Gabriel Gonzalez here: https://github.com/Gabriel439/post-rfc/blob/master/sotu.md

In terms of long-term jobs, I think learning concepts from statically-typed functional programming language will improve your code quality (read: chance at sustainable employment) in general, but actual prospects are probably area dependent. I am lucky enough to live in a tech hub so there are many Angel List jobs here for Haskell and Scala, but this may not be the experience for every city.

Agreed, and I would also like to see punishment for the administrator, Jorgen Malm, who put this into place. At the very least, he should be removed from his job due to his obvious and public disregard for the privacy and safety of the children under his care. If I was on a jury, I would happily vote to put him in prison.
I'm not sure I follow. Are you talking about Diamond's book? Diamond not only did not attribute the course of human history to genetics or phenotypes, he has argued against such an explanation on multiple occasions. He attributes the higher development of Eurasia to geographic features: an environment more conducive to agriculture, and has a large amount of land in the latitudes conducive to building dense urban centers, among other things.

This is why the allegations of racism hold little to no water: by explaining these disparities with geography, the book is a decisive counterargument to the narrative of genetic superiority.

What an absolute hatchet job.

Ask lawyers who have a vested interest in finding someone with deep pockets at fault so they can collect on contingency.

None of you apparently wishes to hear it, but the cause of both these crashes, most proximately, was poor training of the flight crews.

Whatever Boeing did or did not do, and whatever corners they may have cut to reduce cost and remain competitive, these crashes cannot be laid at their door.

It's the inconvenient truth. The unpopular opinion. From the one person here who seems to have read and understood the preliminary accident reports and the FDR data: these aircraft experienced a runaway trim situation, and, whatever the cause, that is something that pilots must be trained to recognize and respond to without consulting the checklists.

Boeing and basic flight training provided everything needed to handle these emergencies. We can argue (as ALPA no doubt will) about the adequacy of training materials and what Boeing should have made sure pilots knew about the systems, blah, blah, blah.

In the end, if you cannot recognize a runaway trim condition in any aircraft you need to get busted back to flight school to start again.
This article doesn't actual mention anywhere but it implies it's doing all this with a regular camera. LeapMotion and others use more complex sensors. The ML approach is really impressive but getting clearer input would seem to be a more reliable approach.

I would like to disagree with your point on basic income. It’s usually called _universal_ basic income. Precisely to clarify that it is not a “charity for the destitute”, it is absolutely meant to be for everyone.

And for the larger discussion on building the commons I happen to think UBI is an important component. Focusing on the amateur work being done by the civil society at least, an UBI could be precisely the thing needed to free up time for cultivating the commons.

Now, granted, most UBI proponents do argue from a solidarity angle, and do think of it as some kind of charity. But I’ll offer an alternative view point. To me UBI is the foundation from which private property can be justified. Locke argued that commons, such as land, can only be taken as property when there is no contention, which is clearly not the case for anything having a market value. The just way to solve that conflict could be for the owner to simply pay the market value in rent to the commons, as compensation for the exclusive rights. Such payments could be divided as as an UBI. And I suspect it would also result i a pretty handsome amount. Enough to fund a few open source projects at least.

Well the probability of having two or more independent, crash resulting faults occur at the same time is remarkably low.
I agree what you described - one client getting really popular is a huge risk, but the risk is not the popularity of one client, it’s the popularity of the client without any user knowledge of the underlying protocol. I recently wrote about XMPP and this problem https://salibra.com/p/the-death-of-jabber-8ea395e82f5b

The risk you’ve described isn’t as insurmountable: So far, bitcoin, ethereum, & BitTorrent serve as strong counter examples to the problem you state. They’ve remained clearly defined protocols that users seek out instead of a particular client and have proven hard for popular clients to fork.

I can empathize with these people. It feels like a form of Stockholm's syndrome, where we're starting to come to grips with the idea that we will never escape an economic situation that I can only describe as tap-dancing on quicksand.

If we can never achieve a stable life anyways, why bother seeking one? And if tomorrow is probably going to be harder than today, why put off the things that people used to put on their bucket lists?
I decided to share a bit. Some of you already shared about differents effects of THC in different people. This is an example. We need this drug intensively tested, without any political or cultural bias.

Well, I'm the mother of a 5+ years old kid, and we are using THC oil with him, under medical control. My kid had been early diagnosed with a case of extreme anxiety at the age of 2-3 years old (you can't precisely diagnose this), imagine it as a case of autism without several syntoms; he was already well into the second year being medicated with risperidone + carbamazepine which allowed him to have a more or less standard life.

But, starting at 4 years old the stress related to extra requirements in school began to be highly crippling for him again. Then we asked our neurologist about THC.

We were advised by him, and then contacted a parent of an autistic adult who regularly use THC to be able to function (preventing extremely violent reactions).

So we tried it, precisely dosifying the oil, without leaving the other drugs. THC works in my kid allowing him to remain calm under extreme stress.

It is really a process but the main - under the table, because is illegal here to use THC, not talking about giving it to kids - medical advise is to use THC like ibuprofen. If you see the kid is having a bad time trying to control himself, you give him a dose of oil. If the kid is going to have a stressful day in school, you give him a stronger dose.

I have personally never consumed drugs previous to THC. That was because when I buyed the oil, I tried it to know exactly what effects would be going through my kid. With new batches of oil we use to test it in minimal doses (this is a requirement from the neurologist: we buy oil specifically made for medical purposes - more expensive - but the process is handmade, and different batches could be slightly more soft or stronger in its effects).

If you have a medical issue with a kid, and you're out of solutions, then you usually get to this point. That was my case, and the cases of several parents with I have contacted since we started this path.

THC as you could probably read in many sites in the internet could have a lot more effects in people than causing anxiety and delusional states of mind.

What the article says could be just true, but as with many legal drugs, for example diazepam, the effects are REALLY different if "standard" person consumes it, than when a person with extreme anxiety uses it.

I don't think Hanlon's Razor applies to large companies. Individual humans tend to have reasonably powerful moral compass's, but make a lot of mistakes due to lack of information, focus, and error checking. For humans, it makes sense to assume "stupidity" rather than malice. On the other hand, companies like Google have tons of the smartest people in the world making decisions, but they tend to put profit over morality whenever possible. In a sense, they have to, or else they'll be out-competed by someone who does.

For large companies, I would almost go so far as to propose that one should "never attribute to stupidity what can adequately be explained by malice."

I have no opinion about this particular instance. I just find that HN tends to bring up Hanlon's Razor a lot in defense of corporations.

In particular, zero is the additive identity [0] in almost all the "usual" number systems in which it appears. That is roughly speaking, it is the only A such that X + A = X, for all X, where X and A are elements of the number system (e.g. field of real/complex numbers).

Negative, doc.

In the article you cite, cannabis can help when your sleep cycle is _already_ f'ed. But then you have to have a real long talk with yourself and ask why? Why, when there are better medicines to manage sleep disturbance in the short term which actually improves your sleep. (I am genuinely asking, even OTC sleep medicines will work better than weed)

Weed cannot have positive effects for the layperson because it increases time between REM cycles. Again, if your lack of sleep affects your REM cycle (i.e. its already f'd) then you are doing no harm, but you are not doing much good either.

Maybe you missed my original comment. If you are getting a full 8 hours of sleep every night then you should _not_ be drinking caffeine after 4pm. Likewise, you should also NOT drink alcohol before bed. Further, weed, the topic of this thread, should be avoided after 4pm due to its prolonged effects on your body including impact to REM sleep.
A lot of those preferences tend to be subject to high erotic plasticity though. Sexual orientation, particularly in men, much less so.
