Would you prefer to retire without investment or retire with investment?

I don't understand the negative use-cases from your statements.

"if you retire"

"if you didn't die"

"you maybe too sick"

Are you suggesting not to invest at all because "YOLO, we'll die, or sick-and-die anyway".
I think that by the time we get to great grandparents, they did get more exercise. Sure, they might have been able to afford a single car, but lots of living had more activity. Housework, for example, took way more work while our great grandparents were young adults and children. Cars themselves were harder to drive with no power steering or brakes (and the early power-assists were very poor by today's standards). Office jobs had a lot more 'work' by their very nature simply because everything was on paper - there is a lot of little back and forth walking, bending, and lifting there. As children, they would have played outside lots and helped around the house (since house chores were more work).

I think there were a lot of these little things that mean that yes, our 'sedentary' grandparents and great-grandparents were a lot more active just because of how life was.
What's so great about ortholinear keyboards? I'm typing on one right now, but I'm not sure I prefer it over the staggered one so much. It's easier to find where each key is, for sure, but I don't know if the adjustment hassle is worth it.

The thymus is not the thyroid gland, if that's the connection you're trying to make. AFAIK the thyroid gland is not deliberately consumed unless as medicine.
I have lived and I am from three different cultures. I have lived and experienced military dictatorships, utterly corrupt Latin American fake democracies and, yes, life in the US. I have traveled and done work in many countries around the world. I am not an expert, but, yeah, I am not an "ignorant American" as many like to paint anyone from the US.

You still don't understand the key difference and I am not sure I can explain it well enough for you to internalize it.

That piece of paper and the words on it mean a lot.

They drive a massive legal system that takes that piece of paper and the words on it very seriously.

And so, if a bad politician, from the President on down to a local city official, a law enforcement person or any inhabitant of the US for that matter, behaves in a way that violates those words, the legal system makes them pay the consequences of their actions.

This does not mean that we are 100% infalible in this regard. Nobody is. There will be bad politicians, cops and people from time to time who will get away with misbehaving. That's just reality.

However, in the US, for the most part, these laws are respected AND enforced. They mean something and, in particular, the Bill of Rights exists outside of government. They can't take away your freedom of speech or engage in unreasonable search and seizure, etc. without suffering devastating legal consequences.

The only way this would not be so is if society as we know it in the US derailed to the point of anarchy. That is very far from reality. Impossible? Nothing is. Highly improbable? Absolutely. This isn't Venezuela. Yet.

2019–20 outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
> cancers typically find a way to generate resistance

Resistance is a neat thing.

I remember (and I'm sure someone will reply with a link to it, since I can't find it) reading a story about a fellow with a very seriously antibiotic resistant bacteria infecting his chest. It resisted everything they had. Researchers found a phage that would attack that specific bacteria- but alas, the bacteria became resistant to the phage as well!

Fortunately, the bacteria had limited dimensions in which to change. The changes needed to become resistant to the phage made it no longer resistant to at least one of the antibiotics. It could not have its cake and eat it to. With both attacks against the bacteria ongoing, it was defeated.

What I'm implying with all this is that yes, the cancer may become resistant to this therapy in question but in doing so it may be forced to become less dangerous, or less resistant to other forms of attack. It does not change merely from "not resistant" to "resistant" but from "form A, which is not resistant" to "form B, which is resistant", and "form B" may have a lot of other consequences.

Hello fellow LGBT person! We actually have it a lot better than many marginalized groups -- if you want community, you can find it. You just have to put yourself out there in an offline sense and disabuse yourself of any ideas that you are somehow better than anyone else in the community. Go on a bunch of coffee dates and you'll make plenty of friends.

It's not organized per se, but in many cities the queer people all know each other. I live in a big city with a big queer scene, and I can't tell you how many times I show up by myself somewhere only to see 3 or 4 people I already know there. Or find out that the new person I'm dating is besties with another friend. We all have pretty similar politics, but we also never talk politics or current events (that shit is depressing). Conversation is largely about our own lives and relationships, which IMO is how it should be. The focus is on making space for and supporting eachother, not winning an argument.

If you're struggling to break in to the community, just set up a dating profile (Grindr if you're a gay man, OkCupid if you're not) with something along the lines of "baby queer here, I need friends". People will reach out to you because we've all been you. I have found people in the LGBT community to be incredibly caring and willing to invest in people they barely know, simply because they remember what it's like to be alone in the wilderness. Community is how we heal, and intentional family built one relationship at a time is stronger than relying on circumstances to provide you with social ties.

Much love, get out there and get involved, let yourself be vulnerable, and you will find your people <3

As a long time Ruby developer I frequently hear older developers talking fondly about their experiences working with Smalltalk long ago. When I saw this post, I was curious enough to watch a video just now by a respected Ruby dev (who's admittedly new to Smalltalk and using an older version of Pharo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOuZyOKa91o. The video is short, but it looks to me like the advantage of developing in this environment is mainly that you can write a test, run it in a kind of debug mode, and when the environment encounters something it doesn't understand it gives you some options for creating something new like an object or a method to solve the problem. This seems kind of cool, but I feel like there must be more to it. Can anyone better explain the selling point, or share a video that highlights how this environment is so cool?

I find it so difficult to understand the mental gymnastics necessary to "shift blame" over certain types of suffering from "capitalism" to "consumerism" or "cronyism" as though those ideologies (and accompanying institutions) were independent tragedies, liable to manifest in any cultural substrate. There's no cancer in bricks, and no commodity fetishism in a socialist economy.

I don't think the posted conception of the culture war as a "holding pattern of conflict" is incompatible with the idea that it's also a legitimate outpouring of the voice of the disenfranchised.

I applauded organizations that help their employees to understand basic personal finance.

For example: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2017/08/15/nba-tra...

I recalled Google also did a similar session before they went IPO. They hired someone to teach their employees how to manage the money.

I have to say though that Personal Finance is one of those "must-have" skill that school SHOULD HAVE taught in the first place. I still don't get WHY they did not. Even the basic (more than just "save your money" advise) such as life+health insurance, retirement, budgeting (let's leave out mortgage and investment).

Personal Health should be next. I know, I know, they have PE. But I'd like to see some basic Personal Health knowledge from "sleeping" to "eating-well". How to read ingredients from those junk foods.

There is an (non agressive) update at the end of the review though ? So they did change it.

Kotaku's thing is opinionated reviews, if you understand the reviewer's tastes you should be able to make your own opinion relative to theirs.

Also honestly, Kotaku pandering to reddit ? You'll have to more precise than that, reddit is made up of so many different communities, you can say that of just about anyone.
"The usual corollary (that ML should "therefore" be able to learn with a few examples) may only apply, as I see it, if we somehow encode previous "learning" about the problem in very the structure (architecture, hardware, design) of the model itself."

Yes, and they do. They aren't choosing completely arbitrary algorithms when they attempt to solve a ML problem, they are typically using approaches that have already been proven to work well on related problems, or at least are variants of proven approaches.
Why would anyone wonder that? Just because the majority perspective is of a life a relative plenty, open-ness, and stability of the rule of law, they might perceive people in general to be sheltered or soft, but that’s certainly not true for many. There are plenty of stories about famine, starvation, neglect, and abuse in many parts of the world (and at home!) to dissuade anyone of this entire notion.

Question for any of us who romanticize more austere, brutish times is; why? There are many ways to test ourselves, doing so helps with perspective I believe.
Assuming this wasn’t satirical, but it’s hard to tell sometimes.

The rates of intentional exercise - going to a gym and working out - are certainly on the rise, but the actual rate of exercise is more lower than it was a hundred years ago. The job market has switched in large part to sedentary jobs from active jobs. And diets are much less healthy today than they were then because the only diets available (to anyone other than the rich) were relatively healthy. It’s hard to become overweight without the presence of junk food. Not impossible, certainly, but hard.

Is this guy actually a researcher in the way most people would think of it? That is, someone who pushes the boundaries of science; who develops new AI techniques or finds the hard boundaries of existing AI techniques; who finds new ways compose multiple AI techniques cohesively; who explores the theoretical foundations of AI.

Or is he someone who uses AI techniques to solve problems (and then wrote a paper about it)?

If that treatment didn't exist, your loved one would have opted for some other experimental treatment, no? So the existence of said treatment didn't make their life worse relative to that particular treatment not existing. (Rather, the existence of a class of experimental treatments for a particular cancer that maybe don't work, makes life worse for people, but once there's one, there's no harm in adding more, only potential benefit in at least one of them maybe working.)
Hi, I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password.

I can't comment on the defensive part, but text can often be harder to parse in conversation so perhaps it was that? I generally find our support team to be pretty understanding but I am sorry if our support team didn't properly handle your concerns and feedback.

Feature parity is a tricky one. The Mac (and since it's shared code in a lot of ways, the iOS app) have been around a lot longer. Dating back to just a bit after I started here 8 years ago we started work on 1Password 4 for Mac and iOS.

The Windows app was rebooted completely a few years back and has been playing catch up since.

Feature parity is the ideal, but it isn't something that is going to happen overnight and we're still trying to do a variety of things to make that happen. But without slowing down our Mac team the Windows app will never really reach feature parity. With that in mind I know our Windows team really wants to try to be a lot closer and they're working hard to do it, but we're all sorry it hasn't moved faster than we'd all like.

If you have specific feedback feel free to write into our support and mention me (Kyle) and that your support request be answered by me. Please include a link to this thread just for reference and I'll make sure to look into all of your comments and concerns.

Again, very sorry we haven't met your expectations. Know that our expectations haven't been met either and that we're working hard to try to give everyone what they want on our Windows application.

Currently most mental health medicine is like throwing darts in the dark. We clearly don't actually understand why some medications work for some people but not others. If you go through the medicine path then I can only wish you the best of luck - finding the right medicine is life changing but it's a long arduous struggle to find it currently.

This is still coercive though. It is the big party using their power to get developers to give up their rights.

Notably, by giving up these rights, it becomes possible for the party to go against the FOSS principles that were the reason copy-left was invented.

The number of digits used to write it out doesn't need to be thought of as an indicator of simplicity once you realize that you're rounding for a purpose unrelated to reducing the number of digits written after the decimal point (which is a typical reason to round, but is not the reason here). Just think of dividing a dollar 10 ways versus dividing it 4 ways.
She's the richest women in Africa. $2 billion.

That's not just an 'another corrupt despot'

Her wealth surpasses most male despotes in Africa.

Are you claiming she is a trophy wife or something? The articles imply she amassed the wealth not it was given to her in her lap by a despot husband or despot father.

And if she hasn't worked for the money (which I really doubt, her hours will be higher than almost all people here) then she doesn't want to work, back to she won't be setting up a lab, aka she doesn't want to do work.
Veterans have seen technologies come and go. If they were keen to hop on every new technology that came out during their career, they'd literally never get anything done. The risk of adopting a technology that will fail high and the results can be disastrous.

It might be seen as stodgy to pick Java along side a relational database for a brand new application over the latest JS hotness plus NoSQL. But we know that Java is going to still be around in 20 years, we know the language and architecture can do what we plan, and is easily able to expand and scale as the product grows. We know what deployment, integration, maintenance, etc looks like.

What young developers don't see is the long, long, long line of failed technologies that were hot, then faded it obscurity. It's very hard to bet on winners.
