Another doctor made exactly the same argument - "As a doctor, I’d rather have HIV than diabetes" - https://www.spectator.co.uk/2014/04/why-id-rather-have-hiv-t...

>A recent large epidemiological study showed that, for those diagnosed with HIV now, life expectancy is similar to someone who does not have the virus. The medical profession now considers HIV a chronic disease; it’s regarded in public health terms in the same category as, for example, type 2 diabetes. As a doctor I can tell you that, medically speaking, I’d rather have HIV than diabetes. While this might sound shocking or surprising, the facts speak for themselves: the prognosis for those with type 2 diabetes is much worse than for those with HIV.... For those with HIV, providing they take their medication, there are very few problems.

>Regardless of how well it is controlled, type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease, which results in the need to increase pharmacological therapies over time. A recent study conducted in Australia showed that, after six years, 44 per cent of patients no longer responded to oral medication and required insulin injections. Oral medications eventually fail in most people, meaning that injections are almost inevitable at some point.

>To put it starkly, the latest statistics show that because of Haart, HIV now no longer reduces your life expectancy, while having type 2 diabetes typically reduces it by ten years.
more like until they are no longer profitable to exploit, which of course is a function of global state. That is what underlies the fallacy of peak oil, which I was personally susceptible to. Resources don't vanish, they become incrementally more expensive to extract until the marginal benefit of doing so becomes negative.
> should be throwing money at creatives, not devs or APIs or frameworks

I'm sorry, can someone explain what a creative is and why money should be thrown at them? If they're not developers than how are they going to create content? Also if there aren't good frameworks and APIs the barrier for creating content is much higher.
Good point. At the same time it is pretty clear by observing how babies are born and grow up, and if you believe God created human race, that you do believe he "created some system" by which we grow from sperm and eggs, to be the way we are :-)

I think the way cells "evolve" to become mammals is actually much more wonderous than one species evolving into another.

This is really nice, but I find whenever I try one of these types of apps to type or edit real text for more than a few minutes, I find myself wanting pote (plain old text editor) features. The first thing I miss is generally line-moving, but more accumulate to the point where I eventually move back to my favoured pote of the moment.
This is something I find profound about psilocybin in my own experience. The kinds of revelations you might have, the conclusions you come to, the discoveries - they're all relevant when you're back to a regular state of mind.

If it helps you find ways to meditate, or simply discover that you can meditate, or that the benefits of meditating matter to you, that could help your practice immensely.

I'm not saying it's for everyone (it's definitely not), but if you can find ways to leverage it I really believe it can be a helpful tool for growth, healing, and what the hell, just having fun.
Well you didn't mention valgrind, but this is the kind of thing it should have caught. In fact if your programming in C/C++ running the application with various valgrind, glibc MALLOC_CHECK_, boundschecker, purify, etc tools should be done on a regular basis as part of your integration testing.

For sure boundschecker saved myself and various coworkers days of debugging a couple companies back. Its one of those tools that pays for itself the first time it finds a truly evil bug.

Also, POSIX is full of gocha's (personally I think its worse than W32) just waiting to catch the unwary. FD_SETSIZE with select() bit me hard a few years back by causing a bug that only happened when the file descriptors eventually got > FD_SETSIZE, but that was hardly the worst bug I've found.
VR, especially wireless as the Quest is, can work great for fitness. Exhausting is the point of that, though.
I kindof agree. My memory doesn't work like this, I could spend a week troubleshooting, following various twists and turns and eventually finding a solution with a big aha! moment, and not remember much of anything about it a week later, at least in terms of spontaneous voluntary recollection.
> such as how one of the suspects tried to fake a digital document but didn't fake the timestamp, and the FBI noticed the receipt having a creation date the same day of their interview with him (pg 13)

It's even better: he typed the fake invoice up in his bedroom while the FBI was in his house, after explicitly asking the FBI not to follow him in there. I can picture the agents looking at each other trying not to burst out laughing.
Kind of annoying that this text is in a graphic, but I'll type it out: "From 1998-2005 the survey only targeted public schools. Then from 2006 onwards, it included private schools, and from 2013 onwards, also high school correspondence courses".

If you look at the graph, between 1998 and 2005 there was a decrease in suicide rates. It jumps up in 2006 (right when private schools are added). It should be noted that private schools often include the most troubled teens at high school. If you do not pass your entrance exams, you must go to a private high school. If you are expelled from public school you must also go to a private school. The rate jumps again in 2013 when correspondence high schools are added. It should be noted that correspondence schools have the most troubled teens in them. The are for people who either originally did not attend high school (dropped out after mandatory junior high school), or who were expelled both from public school and private schools. These are people for whom their life is essentially wrecked from the age of 15 and who are trying very hard to get it back to some kind of order. It is also important to understand that correspondence high school includes students who are much older than typical high school students.

It is worrying that the junior high school rate has climbed over the last few years (though it's still inline with data from the late 80's and early nineties). However, the high school data appears to me to be a combination of not comparing apples to apples along with a possible statistical outlier in 2018. Given the poor treatment of this data, I would not be surprised if there is another reason for the spike in 2018.
Any specific good material that I could read more on this?

This act defines what should be counted as 'room' for overcrowding purposes.

Now courts are not stupid. In such cases 'bedroom' would take the meaning that is generally understood. A kitchen or living room with beds in them are not understood to be 'bedrooms' if you ask someone at random, and thus advertising "3 bedrooms" when in fact there is only one with beds in the kitchen and living room would most likely be deemed misleading and false advertising.

I am always left with a weird sense of "what?" when I run into something MySQL does that I wasn't expecting. I find MariaDB to do even more weird optimizations that have led to some long debug sessions to find out what it was doing that caused the problem.

I agree with you on PostgreSQL. I think the whole reason most don't use it is because their provider doesn't support/install it by default or the "legacy" system was designed with MySQL because it was already installed.
It's not part of the model because, if you're studying how wealth gets distributed rather than how it is produced, it doesn't matter.

I'm guessing that your disquiet at this notion comes from the possibility that everyone is creating their own wealth, and to some extent that is no doubt true. But if you start with the simplifying assumption that everyone's wealth creation ability is equal, and you just look at distribution, and you find that your model pretty accurately reproduces the real-world distribution of wealth, it's at least some evidence that wealth-creation ability is not that different from person to person, and what's driving inequality is the distribution mechanism.

Since virtually all human traits follow a Gaussian distribution, it seems like whatever the wealth-building factor is, it would also follow a Gaussian distribution. But wealth follows more of a power law distribution. You never encounter anyone 1000 times taller than average, but there are many people 1000 times wealthier than average. This casts some doubt that wealth accumulation is down to individual human ability.

Couple that with the micro-economic observation that someone with 1 million dollars is astronomically more likely to make another million dollars than someone with 100 dollars, even if the two people are otherwise identical, and it seems pretty unlikely that wealth creation has much to do with the distribution we see.

>I would argue, and many companies are arguing, that the side effect causes more harm than good

I would not. Community development means just that: community development. Everyone contributes to a shared set of code that everyone gets an equal chance to profit from. If you know something the others don't then you can charge them to go do consulting/support/training/etc, but you can't stop them from building a separate business around that code and you can't sabotage the code or the license to go and try to steal their customers. That's part of the deal and no one gets to have their cake and eat it too, not even Amazon or whoever the villain of the day is. There is a middle ground away from this, which is to make parts of your product not open source anymore, which is what Sentry did.

>they tend to hire those that contribute.

That's not a problem in and of itself. It's when they're the only ones doing the hiring. That to me means a product-market mismatch where there are not enough companies to create a competitive ecosystem of other things around the open source project.

>you may not take the output and duplicate their business.

For me as an outsider of this company, this is a negative. I want their business to be easily duplicated. It means they have to work harder and make better products.
Live and learn is what I think the take away of this story is all about... I had a server fail dec 25 mid morning. It caused failures in away I had thought about before because instead appearing completely dead it was alive enough to not let go of any tcp connections. For the critical component in question, I didn’t have the correct timeouts in place... so as the single operator I was fortunate that my wife was also my co founder and so was a bit more understanding.

Very cool! My grandfather owned a house moving business. At some point, I wondered, how exactly did he do this? From what he said, pretty much as described in the article. They would put jacks under the house and lift it 1/4 inch on every corner until they could fit supports under it.
It's not a privileged point of view. You can find a new job. You might not like it. It might not be possible for everyone. But the idea that there are only jobs in tech is asinine.

All qualified and experienced people are expensive to replace.

That's not unique to software.
Even if you take it "anonymously", they will be able to link you to your family/relatives/etc. It wouldn't be too hard to track you down. They may not know your legal name, but they would be able to know who your parents, siblings, cousins, etc are.

Ask HN: Have you used or wrote custom software for use within your friend group?
I am an active member in a number of overlapping friend groups. Some as small as 3 best friends, others are 10ish people we go on holidays with.

I was thinking has anyone set up or even better wrote software/ systems where the use case is private usage by a group of friends?

I have had two ideas, but looking for stories and inspiration.

My first is a holiday planner that we can fully customise to our process of planning a holiday, this would save links and discussions all over WhatsApp/discord/ google sheets/ you name it.

The second is a private photo server we can run. Have tools that help migrate photos onto our servers and have a convenient way to tag them (people, event etc) in a few sittings. Then have a nice ui with a filter for those tags.

What do you guys think?
I had a similar experience. I bought an Odyssey+ but returned it because I felt motion sick every time I tried it. I've read you're supposed to just power through and eventually you get used to it, but that seems like an easy way to guarantee your product will fail. I had friends try it and they also felt the same way.

AR may be a different beast. I don't usually hear people describe it as uncomfortable, mostly just lacking power and content. I also think the market for AR would be much bigger than VR. I think that is why Apple, MSFT, and Google are focusing on it.
Actually my reading says that the context there is stating the assumptions on the basis of which the rest of the document is based.

And I don't think "accelerating inequality we’re witnessing is not the natural inequality of competition and the power law, easily explained by simple arithmetic" as an axiom compares to "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".

As an aside, I believe the founders of the US did some great work, but let's not put their use of certain phrases on a pedestal. For example, I for one do not believe in a creator at all.

I'd actually say yes to that.
Criticism is not hate speech. Ignoring the unclear phrase "hate speech", banning calls to violence or verbal harassment is very different from banning opinions.

Free speech as it is understood in the US applies to the government and the government can and does limit your rights when it comes to violence and time and place (e.g. you can't yell during a session of Congress). It's absolutely morally fine to do so and it does not infringe on freedom of speech in any way.

I'd just like to add, back when I was a bit younger (perhaps 23 years old or so), I used to take magic mushrooms with my friends once every four months or so. It was not something I (and I imagine my friends) took lightly. I made sure there weren't any big things happening that weekend, no stress, etc... In that way it wasn't even very feasible to take these shrooms more often, often things like work would get in the way.

In total I might have taken magic mushrooms maybe 10 times. Now I don't really feel the need to anymore, but I think it could be interesting to try some time in the future with my girlfriend.

Most of my friends don't use psychedelics in any way anymore. Perhaps in part because many friends are starting families now and it's hard to find the time when having a girlfriend and/or children, etc...
I think the low carb argument is that processed carbs mess with your blood sugar levels, making you hungrier, but the discourse around nutrition is messed up enough that there are many low carb arguments, some of them mutually contradictory. As for your penny, zero, unless I'm greatly mistaken, which is why pennies don't come with nutritional labels.

Computers have been able to do arithmetic faster, better, and cheaper than humans for decades. But we still teach children to do arithmetic, and grade them on how well they do it (almost never as well as a computer). Why? Because doing more useful and creative math is a lot easier if you can do a little arithmetic.

The purpose of college essays has never been the quality of the product.

I tried a combination of Vipassana and Psilocybin a couple of times.

The awareness that comes with Vipassana gives you greater awareness of (and control over) the Psylocybin effect.

I don't know how to guess, I'd been learning on and off for a long time before I started listening, and I still can't understand all of it fluently. The things I like about their podcast particularly to recommend it is that it's a lot of content - 30 minutes or more at a time and loads of episodes, of consistently good recording quality, it's two people and sometimes a guest talking quite clearly so it's very regular speed and accents to get used to, and they talk about a topic each time so there's quite a lot of repeated vocabulary during one episode, and it's all talking no cuts to music.

The idea that it's OK to implement an algorithm that takes some user's input to censor posts but it's not OK to do so directly seems like it skirts the central question.

The reality was it wasn't even a coin flip. They based things on pie in the sky estimates - treating them as factual evidence. If you're going to believe a recruiter on futures of stock options (not even RSUs) you're mad. Beyond that Facebook, at the time of consideration, was still a massive behemoth financially compared to Uber who had yet to publicly show an earnings report. I wrote this up right before Uber went public, but it was clear this stock was going to sink vs swim. They have nothing but debt, very little R&D that has long term viability any of the FAANGs couldn't just buy up as collateral, and have been throwing darts at how to monetize into the black since becoming commonplace. Had Uber had a few shreds of conservative approach to what they're doing I'd be far more behind them. But I was out at one of their research facilities on the east coast a couple of years ago and I couldn't believe the sheer amount of unknown and money (they didn't have) being dumped into autonomous at the time. Fast forward years and they still have no operational product. They're not Apple or Google with wads of cash to burn. The goal with going IPO was to accelerate the end product that makes them profitable, which they have yet to deliver.

Personally I don't think there was any choice that would have made sense other than Facebook to net you the most guaranteed cash. Cambridge was never going to sink FB, at least not in any timeframe that would have impacted your vesting schedule. You got in at the perfect time. Timing is everything, and the takeaway is make decisions on the known, not a recruiter floating numbers they don't remotely understand and are incented to make sound amazing.
