That article does not measure the influence any of this had on the 2016 election. Creating feminist, Christian and pro-African American FB and Instagram accounts sounds more comical than effective. If it was that easy, why doesn't everyone do it?
Maryanne Amacher made some music that relies on the non-linearity of ears, what is known as "otoacoustic emissions." I guess if you put a sound source that produces the sum of two pure sine waves up to a human ear then record what comes back out, it can add in combination tones.

I think it's easiest to perceive in Chorale 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtmv6LxNJqs&t=3079s (I'm not sure if I only hear the low-pitched tones because of non-linearities of my amplifier and headphones at higher volumes though...)

It's way too easy to get overtones from a sine wave. Lots of music production involves compression of dynamic range into a smaller interval, but this introduces integer overtones. For a toy example, we can think of arctan as being a compression function that takes infinite dynamic range into the interval [-1,1]. Playing around with some Fourier series, it looks like arctan(sin(x)) has a bunch of extra odd harmonics over the sin(x) fundamental.

In May, there was a HN post about a statistical mechanical model that derived a scale from an overtone model. It would be cool to see what comes out of inharmonicity (like bells).

I’d definitely recommend anyone using AWS set those up to avoid a surprise bill like you got.

And there is a good reason for more one-to-many pairings: more choices. Back in the day less desirable partners had more chances because of proximity. Today it's easier to search for partners (for the same reason it's easier to shop), so more desirable people have more choices.
If you start looking at resources for digital nomads, you'll start seeing how people live abroad for cheap. Here's a recent video on living in Bankso, Bulgaria in an apartment for 150 Euro per month => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_w28W1_4PY. Combine that with some online work, maybe teaching English, and you could probably do OK.
> However, the researchers found that several of the most predictive factors (such as accidental injury, a benign breast lump, or colonoscopy) don’t make sense as risk factors for stroke. So, just what is going on? It turned out that the model was just identifying people who utilize health care a lot.

A good analogous example of this is PCA. If your first component has a dominating effect, then this will drown everything out (you can compensate by looking at components 2 and 3). (Examples: [monetary] inflation, year or month effects.) It's a cool exercise to do PCA on datasets and to see whether things like this pop out. This is also why PCA (which does maximisation) is an explorative analysis and should not be used as an authoritative "result" or "metric". You could, but you have to be careful. Even in picking your components you introduce curation and bias.

Imagine a scenario where we regress back to the dark ages and the eugenics inclined doctor says: "Sorry Stan, your second component value is an outlier, no kids for you; your genes are not considered adequate."
> Something changed starting around 2012

One hypothesis to consider: the Affordable Care Act which became effective in 2010. It may be that somehow the healthcare changes that followed had an adverse effect, and that it took 2 years for increased infection rates to compound and begin to be reported.

So that explains it!!! I must have memory bias.

So when I remember that I've had a job (or several) continuously since I was in 6th grade (paperboy, oil-change,food delivery,etc.) and then I notice that the 22-25 year old college new hires, that have NEVER worked a day in their life before, seem lacking in the "umm... it's a JOB" department, it's probably just my memory bias.

I was probably sitting in the basement gaming, not actually working my way through school at 3 different jobs like my memory bias says.

And it totally makes sense now! Because I'm really good a troubleshooting and working out solutions to problems, that's why I notice it so much that if "Dr. Google" or "Mr. StackOverflow" don't have an answer, or if that answer is ludicrously wrong, that the youths seem so lost at what to do next. Just cognitive bias. I probably got really good at what I do by staring blankly at the screen when I was stuck, claiming success anyway, hoping no one would notice, and organizing a taco run. Maybe some memory bias too, because I remember having to solve problems myself and not being able to afford tacos runs.

And I thought I was good at looking at things and making sound judgements. Good judgement is part of being a good engineer, after all. So again that must be why I'm so extra unconvinced by shallow (and/or excessively elaborate) arguments that the current generation as a whole isn't lacking in certain obvious ways. Of _course_ every generation in history has always said that and only some of them were right.

Not all people of a generation are the same or have the same qualities. My generation, the ones before, or after. Perhaps the youths of today, as a group, are better at different things. Like things that don't involve work or survival... For example, posturing as if they are suffering, while avoiding it, mostly. Deflecting. Blaming.

Not all individuals of any generation fit a generalization. So if you are a good one, or a great one, of any generation, don't be insulted by my opinions. Be insulted by those that do fit the generalizations that let us all down.

No, it's not. All medications have risks, and it has its own slew of potential side effects: https://www.rxlist.com/truvada-side-effects-drug-center.htm

This approach is like putting promiscuous people on constant antibiotic treatment to avoid bacterial venereal diseases. It doesn't make sense long-term.

It seems as though in the backlash against complete puritanism towards sexual activity, many people have moved too far and started implying that it is completely safe. It's not, even if you practice it "safely", and it's still important to emphasize that.

Eddison, in his lifetime made around $12m from his patents and he died around 1931. So scaling that amount (so would be around $1Bn), does appear to fall short upon many drug patents. For example - the drug Lipitor's patent made over $100Bn.

But things are never just about money as a comparison metric, just that when you can reduce things to that metric, hard not to compare.

You might not fail out of a lot of big name schools that like to keep their graduation rate high, but you'll come out with a boatload of C's. You may have a degree, but that's not a great outcome, and why go to school for four years if you aren't learning effectively? I know that people say that it's a networking opportunity, but most of my friends that got good jobs they were happy with out of college were the ones that worked hard. The ones who just floated by continued to float by.
Windows Defender is still one of the best antivirus solutions, indie lab says
It's not baffling at all, it costs $1,800 for 30 days worth of Truvada.

Descovy has less side-effects than Truvada, but Gilead conveniently timed Descovy's indication for PrEP to align with Truvada's patent expiration. Truvada is particularly hard on the kidneys, and can cause kidney damage or failure. Descovy doesn't put its users at risk of kidney damage.

The wholesale cost of generic Truvada in the developing world is $6 to $8.

The sexual marketplace, like all marketplaces with few restrictions, has returned to a “winner take all” state. Fewer men have sex with more women. Thus STDs rise as more people have a smaller and smaller “sexual range.”
Do you have any suggestion as to how that piece of legislation could possibly have an impact on how much sex young people have and with what partners?

I fail to see any kind of chain of events here where one might lead to the other.

"We wouldn't have had sex if it weren't for Obamacare." doesn't exactly seem like something you'd be likely to hear.

"In recent years, the agency reports, more than half of local STD programs have experienced budget cuts that led to clinic closures, as well as reduced screening and patient follow-up.

"Federal spending has also been curtailed."

“In the federal government, there is one dedicated STD funding line, and that is the line item in the appropriation bill funding the division of STD prevention at the CDC,” said David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors. “That appropriation has been whittled away over the last 18 years.”

Is anyone actually running on this? Otherwise MFA is simple for the end user and superior to "more options" that nobody can afford or HSA that only benefits people who didn't need it.
This is true and works as good advice. Some years back I was having my feedback call with HR person while I was being laid-off from the company, and one of the things she told me was my time spend on social networks and "other" websites not related to work (HN included). Reading between the lines here, IT is monitoring traffic and reporting it to managers at all levels. I was caught and, since then, I have never used my work device for anything but work.
VSCode is open-source except for 3 recently-introduced extensions, and your comparing it to Android is unfair.

VSCodium main claim to fame is that it is vscode with the telemetry removed, not that it is vscode with the proprietary parts removed. There are no proprietary parts to remove. My experience running VSCodium is that it feels just like running a vscode binary downloaded from Microsoft (namely, from https://code.visualstudio.com/download). For example, you can use VSCodium to install extensions from Microsoft's "extension store" -- with the sole exception of the 3 recently-introduced proprietary remote-development extensions. The fact that VSCodium has been hosted on a site owned by Microsoft (namely, Github) for many months is strong evidence that VSCodium is not violating Microsoft's copyright and that consequently any coder can get the MIT-licensed code at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode and build his own vscode that works just like one of Microsoft's binaries in almost all ways.

The 3 aforementioned proprietary extensions are not included in the vscode binary you download from https://code.visualstudio.com/download: a user has to explicitly install one of the 3 (or the "extension pack" which causes all 3 to be installed) after installing the binary, so after reading this thread a user is not going to accidentally start using proprietary parts of vscode.

VSCodium describes itself as "binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing". That last word refers to the fact that the binaries at https://code.visualstudio.com/download have a more restrictive license than the source code at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode. I don't understand why MS's lawyers felt the need for a separate licence for the binaries, but any coder can escape that license by building vscode from the source code, which is MIT-licensed.
Not too related, but Iceland may be in a better position than most countries to displace it's current currency with their own state level crypto currency. Now THAT would really be an F-U to the banks. Creating a currency that allows for open trade pretty much person to person anywhere in the world and supporting it.

Having well rounded citizens is good, but I don't think that means we need more English majors struggling to make a living.
I've been there and been that digital nomad. I have lived in cheaper countries. I've taught English. Those things sound romantic and if you are healthy and have special skills you can have a good life. If you are not healthy and are competing with every other gig worker who IS and is half your age, and every other native speaker, hustling in the grind every day it's not sustainable. It was quite hard even when things weren't as bad as now. It's exhausting and doesn't (in most cases) give you any of the stability,immigration requirements, access to systems, consistency you need to live when you aren't able to sleep on floors and rough life. It sounds nice and I know the advice is well meant. It's just not like people imagine in context.

It's easier to buy a truck than sit in all the cars to find the one you fit in.

And in 5-10 years when you need to shop again, a truck will still work; but if you wanted a car, you'd need to go and sit in all of them again.

If trucks weren't readily available, or overly expensive, or were too big to drive around cities or park, then sure, you can find something else to drive. It's just more effort.

Because 3Dsecure is really annoying, and therefore hurts conversion rates big time.

But hey, I guess soon PSD2 will be forcing this nonsense down all our throats!

And uh, why would you want this anyway? 3DS only protects the merchant, not the consumer.
What an interesting X-Ray of the sexual marketplace in the graph. Apparently young men have less than half infections as women (i.e. less than half sexual partners than women do - all things being equal) , but the situation tapers in later age and slightly reverses in the 40s when men have slightly more sexual partners.

Other than that, the data shows that the sexless generation is driving itself to extinction. That's just natural selection at work.
Why do you dismiss wholesale the part that people are having riskier sex? Even if the phrasing is not flattering it is still a good hypothesis

I am curious what their hiring strategy was. I met someone who worked there a few weeks ago at a networking event. This was after most of the bad news had broken. Wow, was he drinking the Kool Aid. I felt like I was getting an Amway or Scientology pitch (the main thought going through my mind was "you should really be using this opportunity to look for a job"). It made me wonder if they systematically hired people who were easy marks, like the type of people cults would look for, and did they have a hiring protocol for screening them.
In my mind his big innovation was agressively commercializing research. Basic research remains the almost sole domain of academia and government grants, but he proved that it was possible to spin up a positive feedback loop by focusing on attainable tech over a short timeframe. Part of what made him so prolific was that he was first to market with the concept and was able to attract top talent for cheap wages relative to the money his employees made for him. Of course he was also an incredible asshole etc
> 3. Often you want to use the default protocol implementation with some changes. Instead of re-implementing the rest of the protocol, it's highly convenient to be able to specify only the differences.

> #3 is the core reason why inheritance was developed.

No, absolutely not. As sibling comments say, composition is sufficient for that. I can only see exactly one reason why inheritance is necessary: to allow superclasses to call methods defined in subclasses, also known as late binding.
Sizes of cars and apartments in Europe grow just the same over time as Europe is getting wealthier. In the most crowded cities there is some pressure for smaller cars as those are easier to park and get through tight spots, but SUVs now are the largest car category in new registrations in Europe, with over a third of the market, and is rapidly growing at around 20% YoY. This will take a while until it becomes very apparent due to large existing fleet, but make no mistake: Europeans like large cars just the same. Similarly, average numbers of square meters per person in Europe also keeps growing and growing over time.

The real reason here is that after subtracting taxes, social security and health insurance premiums in both US and in wealthy European countries, average American simply has much more disposable cash left, even in the poorest US states, than an average Frenchman, Brit or German. People like large houses and large house, and when they can afford those, they tend to buy them.
There is a difference between hiring someone related to you vs. hiring someone related who is incompetent over someone else who is competent.
