You need to do basic reading into the doomsday clock. The primary concerns right now are catastrophic climate change and technological threats, including nuclear technologies. Regardless, many nuclear theorists and academics including Noam Chomsky (known war hawk and military industrial complex supporter) also think we are at an increasing threat of nuclear war.

I was at a lecture once and the speaker recited a hypothetical conversation he had once had:

"Someone asked me, 'When is the right time to plant a tree?' I responded, '20 years ago.'"...

But it ended there, he never followed up with your second sentence. Odd, because that's way more salient!

However, what surprised me was that some in the audience took it as a defeatist statement, while others took at is motivation. It seemed clear to me that it was intended to be motivational. How could this anecdote be defeatist? I still don't understand that sentiment. Literally every day is ANOTHER chance to start a habit, trend, experiment, set a goal, etc. that you forgot to do yesterday. For me that's a relief because I'm always forgetting shit.

Maybe forgetting that last sentence makes it seem doomed.
You serious?

I’ve never seen them before - and it allows me to enter transactions ahead of time! However, it can’t track stock options without doing it manually. Wish they supported that.
I definitely thought this would be climate change related, or perhaps something to do with carbon dating not being accurate since nukes.

I think it’s now time to outlaw non-primary residences.

And you can’t just tax them on it, because they’ll just push that as increased rents on their tenants.

They must divest, and release the housing unit, and sell it to someone that will actually live in it. And they cannot be allowed to do some other shenanigans to circumvent the spirit of this law.
The algorithms are public, the data is public... even today, you can often feed a portrait image to yandex's image search (the best public one out there) and get back pictures of the same exact person. It seems to have some special case for faces.

And it's by no means certain that you and I can't do better. I think the reason Yandex image search is better than google's, is that Yandex entered the game later and thus could incorporate better methods from the start. There have been important advances in extreme classification even in 2019.

I think the best we can hope for is that this power of identification isn't exclusive to governments and police, but can be used by us as well. So that there aren't more Bob Lamberts than necessary.
The irony here is amazing. Woz built the Apple I while being employed by HP and now Apple making sure that doesn't happen again.
I'm confused. Why does being a women give a different set of challenges when troubleshooting a problem? The fact that it's a majority male doesn't explain why people would treat women completely differently.

Where are you getting these assumptions? Why would the same advice not be given to a male? If a male and a female ask the same question, they are given the same answer in my experience. Maybe it's that they are not having the same problems or asking the same questions?

Of course people would respond differently to different questions. It sounds like maybe not knowing the right questions to ask or where to look for those answers, or an inability to communicate about concepts in clear terms. And that's not a knock against women, there are plenty who can do this well. That seems much more straightforward and plausibe than saying that HN gives you trivial answers and gives you the run around because you have female experiences.

That's just different answers being given to different questions.

When I got diagnosed one of the tests (don't know if it was specifically T.O.V.A.) was a very simple impulse control exercise: when an "O" appeared on the screen, I was supposed to push a button. When an "X" appeared on the screen, I was supposed to not push the button.

I did so badly that I felt the need to "apologize" to the test giver, explaining that I really did understand the instructions I just (physically) couldn't catch myself when the "X" appeared. What would happen is I'd start off slow and increasingly react faster and faster to the O's until I hit an X. Then I'd go oh crap I messed up OK gotta slow down. Next thing I knew I was reacting to O's again within 10th's of a second and of course unable to stop in time when the X appeared.

It was a concrete demonstration of the idea about an ADHD brain being like driving a car with a responsive accelerator but the brakes barely or don't work.

Edit: almost forgot - after getting prescribed adderall I was able to read research papers for the first time in my life. Prior to that I couldn't concentrate well enough to actually read them. This despite having participated in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. I was able to "fake it" for two years and never admit I couldn't actually read or buckle down to write research papers. I had always felt some shame about that but after ADHD medication I realize it was a disability and not just laziness. I no longer take medicine for ADHD but just having had the experience of being able to focus changed my outlook on things.
Just FYI, the "proper transportation" is the exact same thing, you just pay the airline $100 (in Delta's case, $150 per way) for the pleasure. They still go in the cabin with you, you still have all the same issues, they just want to skim some extra cash out of you.

It wouldn't be nearly as irritating that they charge for it if there were something they were actually providing (like a more pet-friendly place to ride), but they don't.
The doomsday clock goes in both directions, it went "backwards" significantly for 10+ years after the Cold War.
> I live in the desert, and it's amazing how many...

Okay yeah but that's very anecdotal. Just because there is a lot of people getting stuck that assume technology would just work, does not mean there weren't a lot of people getting stuck with no backup plan whatsoever. And I wouldn't trust memory either, besides that it is very fallible people also see the past as better than today (from various studies).

I would be interested if you have news (Google-branded or otherwise) that reports it has gone up since cell phone coverage became ubiquitous in many countries, corrected for things like plane ticket prices and car rental availability near a desert (i.e. more people trying it rather than actually a higher percentage of unprepared people).

That satellite view describes it perfectly. Especially how it is differentiated from a standard 2 lane roundabout.

In the UK there are road markings that indicate a similar flow, but this turboroundabout makes it physical.

* Raised curbs force the outside lane to exit.

* After each exit, there are only 2 lanes left.

* After each entry, there are 3 lanes, a new one starts from scratch on the inside.

> Something to think about when buying commercial.

You make a very good point, but I don't think that whether its commercial or not is what you need to look at. The intended use case is. There are several commercial use dishwashers, for instance, that are intended for relatively infrequent use. The ones you describe were intended for heavy-duty restaurant use -- that's the real mismatch, not the fact that they were built for commercial use.
Wow, how did you learn all this stuff?
I did just try uLisp but it used 96% of my storage and 74% of my RAM, so it's not viable. It was nice to set up though - it pretty much worked out the box - so I do suggest trying it out on slightly larger systems.
Additionally, it makes them more susceptible for the "someone to blame" agenda that these groups use. If your life is great and you have excess, this falls on deaf ears. This also leads towards terrorism and other violence as the futility of this life creates cracks for indoctrination.
This doesn't really seem to indicate that was ever the plan. There is an offhand mention of a different plan, a Neil Gaiman story that I've read and has to do with aliens and is very different, and a novelization that doesn't actually exist.
Interestingly enough, it took until I stopped trying to think of meditation as something to game or try and get something out of, for it to finally start working.

My personal hypothesis is that the inherent expectation of wanting/needing to feel some kind of effect every time I tried meditating ended up being the very blockade that prevented me from doing so. I kept falling into a negative recursive thought loop of, “I haven’t noticed anything yet. This isn’t working. There’s no point in trying to continue meditating” that cycled into a cascading growth of anxiety that prevented me from reaching a state of balance.

It took me many months to realize that I was trapping myself inside this loop, but once I became aware of it, I was able to almost immediately start seeing results. The biggest thing that helped me was coming to a realization that the thoughts in my head are, at the end of the day, just thoughts. They have no ability to harm or control me other than what I choose to allow them to. The thought loop I was putting myself into could only continue because I chose to let it.

When I meditate in the present day, you might think that I no longer deal with any of these issues. That’s actually completely not the case. In fact, I constantly still get it, especially at the beginning of my sessions, but now instead of stressing out, I just choose to let it go. By actively choosing to accept and let things go, the loop breaks right from the beginning.
I find it ironic because that's one particular privacy problem where better facial recognition technology is the solution, not the cause.

Stimulants have the adverse effect of harming the mitochondria/metabolism.

Most conditions improve when the metabolism is normalized. B-vitamins are pro-metabolic.

Sometimes doctors do good work. My girlfriend's doctors eventually figured out that she is a poor methylator, and can't convert folic acid into folate (Vitamin B-9). She therefore absolutely requires a dietary source of Folate, instead of the folic acid that is used to fortify many foods. She said this vitamin was profoundly helpful for her complaint of "depression".

Sometimes doctors make work for themselves. Using Stimulants to treat metabolic problems is an exercise in futility.
This is a functionality that no one asked for. Why does one need them? Let me ask an extreme question, how different is this from me naming a star after someone for their birthday? I go to some site and print out a certificate that that particular star in a given galaxy is now named Michael. Point is its a novelty thing. If a doctor asks me to get it done for a medical reason, sure. Other wise this is just a curiosity with no use.

Also, one way to look at it is we are paying to make our DNAs sellable to third parties. These have value for a long long time and the company is going to make money on that for ever. Sure there will "anonymization" of the DNA or some other privacy blurb used but we all know it will be sold.
Note as well that the long term may never come. A company can be acquired at an "irrational" price before reality imposes itself.

Agent Smith addresses this in the first film. "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world, where none suffered, where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program, entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering."

I’m not sure that does follow - Apple allows the employee to take an hour to pick up groceries as it makes the employee less distracted, more focused, and a more valuable asset to Apple. Not sure that applies to planning a competitive startup on company time.
It would be easy enough to firewall your activities based on location. If you are in the office at your place of work, do the work you are paid to do, if you are planning on doing activities that relate to job hunting/ creating a new business, do it after you leave or while at lunch.

Yeah it's weird, the article also says that various famous folks (Zuck) are on a flagged list maintained by local police. I guess the innovation here is that anyone can opt into the list.

I wonder if such a system might ever be corrupted by someone for the purpose of slowing down police response. That is, if one gang is planning to attack another gang, could they enter the address of their target on the list, so that police don't respond as quickly (because they're taking time to verify authenticity of the 911 call) when the attack happens.
You do realize that in most of the cases name brand is store brand are made by the same companies on the same lines and the customers are paying for the label which you know due to marketing?
I like this idea.

You also hit on something that I think too many people don't think of when they're pricing stuff. People tend to look at the sticker price alone, not the total cost of ownership. I've found that often (but certainly not always), the more initially expensive but high-quality stuff will end up being cheaper in the long run.

> Since we're talking about the idea of different treatment under the law for rich vs. poor (well, "comfortable", in this case), tax law in the US is a fine example: the more income you make, the higher your marginal earnings are taxed.

That's technically true, but misleading.

The long term capital gains tax, which is what most high income earners end up paying, maxes out at 20%, which is lower than most of the regular income tax brackets. It's the reason some CEOs opt for a $1 salary.

Not a great question for the stated purpose.

Some people will dig in to the various tradeoffs involved with an ORM, and pick apart the structure of an ORM. And that should result in an "it depends" kind of answer.

Others are more interested in how a team is going to use an ORM; does it help junior devs write "not awful" code, how does it help me structure my application logic.

Others are stats nerds who will tell you which ones do best on benchmarks, are most popular, etc.

And many people will tell you a story about some ORMs they used, and why they liked them or not.

These answers can be useful for getting a sense of how a person thinks, but they won't tell you if the person is competent.
I agree; I took the comment to be rather precisely worded:

'we cannot SURPASS the existing (and free) solution already in the market'

This seems more like an endorsement of the level of integrity and robustness of the product and a recognition that taxpayer dollars could be better spent not re-inventing the wheel.

Additionally, off the shelf products mean that they could spent far less resources ensuring it continues to meet and exceed the necessary standards rather than building a new thing.

Literally every country built in socialist economic principles, I.e. collective ownership of capital.

> 2. At what point is affirmative consent anything similar to free love. Free love should still be consensual.

That’s an attempt to reformulate “free love” to fit modern sensibilities. Read Dworkin’s contemporaneous take on the sexual revolution, starting at p. 89: https://www.feministes-radicales.org/wp-content/uploads/2010...

> In the sexual-liberation movement of the sixties, its ideology and practice, neither force nor the subordinate status of women was an issue. It was assumed that — unrepressed — everyone wanted intercourse all the time

Affirmative consent is more than just “consent” (which too often turns into “the woman didn’t physically resist”). Combined with #metoo, it narrows the scope of sex to something shared between individuals under specific circumstances under specific terms and conditions, and demarcates vast swaths of human experience (like the work place) where discussing or propositioning sexual activity is inappropriate. That’s a huge retrenchment from “free love.”

We don't plan on monetizing our existing users. As early users, they're providing their value with feedback and helping us work out the kinks.

Once the app is monetized, all new users will have to go through that. Even then, I think a free period is a good idea or maybe a freemium version. The only risk with freemium version is giving away too much or too little for free.
I'm sure that was considered, probably even done before this radical change.

>- aggregate benchmark means some average of predictions from wall street investors, which is not the "state of the art" to beat, you should beat the best performing funds.

They're not beating funds, they're more accurately predicting company earnings than 'Wall Street analysts' -- people who work for investment banks and write stock notes for clients, not people who actually invest.

And the experiment assumes that the job of an analyst is to accurately predict earnings, which is frequently not the case -- analysts often lowball their estimates so that the companies they follow can 'beat and raise'.
