I have Crohns, and want to expand on what Hinkley is alluding to. Some drugs modify the expression of a disease which prevents further damage, and others just mask the issue.

Disease modifiers like methotrexate or stelara will suppress aspects of the immune system, which protects the body from further damage. Ibuprofen on the other hand will mask pain but not modify the underlying issue.

If CBD was effective (for me it doesn't seem to be), then the challenge is in understanding if it is modifying the disease, or just hiding symptoms like ibuprofen would for pain.

This is entirely my opinion, but I feel like Hacker News in general has become a more negative place since I started using it. It used to feel like people were more excited to hear about new things, but now it seems like people are criticizing everything.

The last comment I made mocked the title of the post, and while I don't agree with the direction of the project I was mocking, it felt terrible that I got a bunch of upvotes for it.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has any data to back up / disprove my claims.
Worse in Germany. In the past, you paid for public broadcasting if you possessed a device capable of receiving a broadcast - independently of what you used it for, or if at all. Even that wasn't coercive enough for the powers that be, so now it's just a household tax, no way of escape left.
You would think that diffing is inefficient, but apparently modifying the DOM is significantly more inefficient. Mithril -- the framework that inspired this example -- has an interesting take: https://mithril.js.org/vnodes.html
To correct my own claim, it seems reasonable to give this information if you are confident you have contacted a trusted entity, so that it can do its verification.

I'll trust postgresql more when it can support a few thousand connections without resorting to running middleware (pgbouncer) all over. That was his point. PostgreSQL is just abysmally bad in this area.

The process per connection model works great for "my first rails project" so every developer brings it to $dayjob. Then they are caught off guard when they start getting real traffic. It's terrifying to watch a couple hundred connections take a moderately sized server (~100 threads) down the native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath path to ruin. That's just sad.
I'd be more interested in the percent of the population who continue to be carriers.

interesting read. I wish the author had gone into a bit more detail with the cost of living differences between armenia and the example family in fresno. I could certainly look up the the price of flour in both places, but it seemed like the author was on the verge of explaining something more subtle.
NATO is brain-dead. The turkish situation buried it and the american failure to show its leadership in this situation was the epitaph. Trump's policy on that matter has just prompted a major european shift about a true European defence system. Germanay did not want to hear about that 5 years ago and now is listening very seriously to the French and Italian. It has become obvious among the EU leaders that the US is not a reliable ally anymore and that de facto the post-war order is totally over.

Yeah, sounds like I am just further in how I read the asymptomatic narrative. My understanding is it is now the narrative that most people that get this week barely register a cold. See the story of Greta.

Such that most people are asked to distance, since they are no risk for themselves, but extreme risk for the people in the risk pool.

Is that not the fully accepted narrative now?
Oh didn’t check; (2014) should be added to the title. That said, the Bloomberg article I linked to has stats going back to 2006; the percentage of mortgage-free homes in 2014 is hardly different from today, and I bet some properties were cheaper (inflation adjusted) back then.
There's very little inaccuracy at the outpoint, so it would be 0 to 2.5.
For a lot of data workflows, document search might be an alternative to what people usually mean when they say "database." Store documents. Extract metadata. Search the metadata. Retrieve the document or some of its metadata.

The main trade-off is that you aren't going to be able to so something hyper-interactive stuff like a game. If you try to push it too hard it will end up being a mess. OTOH, the closer it is to a traditional web app, the easier it is to use.

Same thing happens at IETF. And then the draft is back next meeting, and it happens again. And again. Sometimes the authors get it, sometimes they don't, sometimes they're forced to continue because their academic or corporate career depends on it (- which they will lose either way, but they rather lose it later...)
Literally nobody is making that argument or in any way suggesting that ECB is a great choice. Just that this one specific attack doesn’t apply.
This isn't really an "ethical" practice, more like how to hide that you are scraping data practice. If you have to hide the fact that you are scraping their data, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Those phones all had Google Maps app open. That Google is harvesting device locations while you have a Google app open showing your GPS location should not be a surprise.

What would be a surprise is if Google forced on your GPS to gather your location in other contexts.
Why elm? It looks more like a DSL than a real language and a verbose one at that. I'm looking at some of these examples on their website, like the random number generator, and wondering why it takes so much code to print a random number to the screen.

I just looked over their website for 10 minutes and still can't figure out how it handles more complex nested components with complex state. Is it like Elm and Redux where it has a giant tree and you have to update the root with a bunch of events, creating intermediate adaptor events from the deepest nodes all the way to the top? Does it have anything like React's Contexts? I really like the examples I saw on the landing page, but I would rather like some comparisons of how to do the exact real-world things React can do. Mithril's website did this pretty well. Maybe this is hurting adoption? Or maybe it's just me.
> California state income tax is deductible from the federal taxable income

> I don’t know who seeded this meme that Americans pay low taxes.

Great question! It comes up all the time in conversations with my friends/family back home (France). They all have it in their head that I must pay 10% in taxes or something, but it’s really roughly the same when you scale for income differences etc. In fact depending on how you model it, I could argue that I proportionally pay more taxes than I would in France at a similar career level.
Remember this is written from an Armenian perspective, so over 60% renting or mortgage is going to seem very high compared to 4% in Armenia.
What I always wonder why Americans don't build solid houses? In Russia and in Kazakhstan everyone builds house with thick (70-150 cm) walls with bricks and with good foundation. Even poor people don't build houses from plywood. But in America it seems that everyone, poor and rich builds extremely fragile houses. Like I can punch a wall with my knuckle. It seems so absurd. Especially with those prices that I'm hearing about, like house costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, up to a millions of dollars. I can build awesome house here for like $200k with very quality materials. Can American build a good house from bricks with very thick walls for a reasonable amount of money?
Agree we wouldn't be hearing about it if it wasn't odd.

This looks interesting! Not a working replacement for React, right? I would probably add that for optimal performance, don’t use functional differential rendering at all. Keep state and use direct DOM manipulation of only elements that change, right? The very idea of re-rendering by throwing a whole new page up and letting the system diff and update is guaranteed not to be optimal performance, it’s always doing more work than necessary. The tradeoff is that the optimally performant solutions are imperative and stateful and involve all the difficult and bug-prone techniques everyone’s trying to avoid. Engineering for functionality is a solved problem. Engineering for performance is not.
Intercooler might be a good choice. You can use it to incrementally add functionality to your exisiting web apps without a huge up front cost.

Author here. I've been exploring the React internals, to answer some questions that frequently come up on pull request reviews around what optimizations really matter in React applications.

My question is if you are making up 20%. Especially if you consider children and younger family, it is a reasonable hypothesis that entire Italian families are getting this, not just the older members. At that point, it seems also reasonable that it could have hit many many more than they are reporting.

My hypothesis is that whatever that number is, it is not constant across regions. Something is marking it higher where it is higher. Across age ranges, even; unless Japan starts a massive upswing soon.
You can believe that hyperinflation spirals are a possibility or a forgone reality of magic modern monetary debt creation, and people like Ben Bernanke can believe they can fund debt from thin air which is impossible to default on (his words), and you'd both be right, in part. But just because historically there have been monetary policies which lead to hyperinflation, doesn't mean modern monetary policy for the largest economy in the world is poised to relegate said currency to that of anything less than a central fixture of global monetary significance.

Two reasons - at least on the West coast, building codes incorporate earthquake survivability of the occupants, inexpensive solid walls collapse easily in earthquakes, 2. speed and cost of construction and availability of labor for woodframe housing and even multistory apartment buildings across the USA.

Not saying it is a good reason, but wood is more flexible so resist better to earthquake. Brick and concrete will crack more easily even if you have many small imperceptible tremors. So in some area it may make sense. I agree though it's weird.
Indirectly related, if you have some time to spare follow Harvard's course in ethics! [1]

Here is why: while it didn't teach me anything new (in a sense), it did give me a vocabulary to better articulate myself. Having new words to describe certain ideas means you have more analytical tools at your disposal. So you'll be able to examine your own ethical stance better.

The writers were being responsible. It's not safe to discuss potencies like 10^-60 that casually. People might "try it at home" and hurt themselves.

It's called homeopathy from "home" and "path", meaning "dangerous at home".
I don't interpret "html and js had syntactically shared data structures" to mean what you wrote, unless you also replace all other JS data structures (arrays and dicts and ...) with <> syntax. You've made it more concise but it's still distinct.

For an example of a system where the programming language and document generator share data structures, look at Hiccup (and Reagent). One of their very first examples is putting a loop inside a list. There's no special API for the attributes -- it's just an ordinary map. There's no special API for the children -- it's just an ordinary vector.
Regardless, 40% of mortgage-free home-owners are not a majority. The actual majority of Americans _are_ paying a mortgage or rent. The author should replace "almost everyone" with "mostly everyone."

That said, the stats are likely inflated due to the fact that people aren't able to buy a house post-education like with the previous generation. They're stuck paying high rent prices with dead-end jobs.
I think he means that this snippet of code doesn’t account for diffing like React does and would fail if scaled out. I think the OP is aware of that though.

It depends, but I agree that this is a crazy hard problem to address correctly and not create dystopian side effects or even just risk that.

Imagine you need some QoS on a few streams for serious and useful purposes (telesurgery comes to mind). Core networks are able to provide that, but this is not usually mapped to user extensible protocols on general purpose/public access points.

Now there are indirect advantages in just not providing those, because:

- you also reduce the risk of dystopian usage / restriction of usage / etc.

- in some cases, you make mass-applications being developed for non-QoS networks instead, so you eventually end-up (maybe a few years behind, but this is a cost I'm willing to pay) with basically the same service on a simpler and less dependent to political context tech.

But:

- in the context of a benevolent legislation, this could be actually more useful and fair than the current situation, where network neutrality has became half a myth both in theory and in practice (there is no practical neutrality anymore when you can just put your own private datacenters all over the world plus high bandwidth links to supposed neutral providers, then use that to push your proprietary services/applications without emerging/low capital competition able to do the same)

- so you actually depend on private parties to be benevolent with the supposedly "best effort" but actually not anymore approach

- and then it is a matter of taste, but in some part of the world I'm more inclined to trust elected politics (even if they sometimes do some bullshit) defining regulation than private soulless multinationals with the often stated theory that they must optimize shareholder outcome and nothing else.

That being said, given both the current state of the world (and even if it was better, the always persistant risk of it degrading) and the practical difficulty to cleverly and benevolently regulate fast moving technical fields, I'm willing to stick to basically the current situation, which seems less prone to extreme situation.

But it would be a mistake to view authenticated QoS as inevitably and purely evil.
In some cases, especially during development, local caching of responses can help reduce load. You can write a little wrapper that tries to return url contents from a local cache and then falls back to a live request.
It is very often Americans themselves who seed the "low tax meme" in order to criticize European social democracies. Those profiles tend to be right-wing. They have drunk their own kool-aid.
Americans tear down houses a lot more often than Russians and former Soviet client nations do. The housing sector in the US represents an oversized % of its GDP. In fact there are a number of sectors (health care/insurance, housing, military, VA) that are super gigantic compared to even a well off OECD country that, if sized down to a more "normal" level, would turn America into just another average OECD country. Something that might be really great for a number of reasons.
They never said 100-200k was the limit, but rather that's how many they're usually sending out per day.

It could be a limit, but I don't see anything that indicates there's a correlation.

> Can American build a good house from bricks with very thick walls for a reasonable amount of money?

Not really, no. You can build a much bigger house and/or save money for upgrades to things that are expected to increase the later sale value of the house (chiefly, the kitchen, but also things like nice outdoor spaces) instead of building with brick. In some areas brick houses are more common but they are mostly older ones. It’s difficult to recover the extra cost of building with brick when selling a house, so it’s rarely done. Since most houses are build by housing developers contracted to one or more newly-building neighborhoods, they’re very sensitive to anything that would reduce their margins or see finished houses sit on their books, and all-brick construction would usually do that.

Brick is sometimes used in pasted-on façades, usually as a kind of “skirt” on the lower part of the front of the house. These may not even be full bricks, but ones cut lengthwise to maximize use of material and reduce weight (see: “pasted-on”)

[EDIT] I should add that the overriding concern of almost all home construction and renovation in the US is reducing the amount of labor required. That’s where most of the cost is, so it’s ruthlessly optimized.
