>discrimination against women of common child-bearing ages [..] is still common in countries where full benefits exist.

What you just provided is an argument for parental leave.

Arguably, the benefits are not full if male parents aren't eligible.

This benefit shouldn't be defined by gender:

- pregnancy-related benefits should be given to people who can get pregnant

- parenthood-related benefits should be given to people who have just become parents (guardians of a newborn, etc).

Anything other than this is a stop-gap non-solution, with aforementioned negative side effects.

In the political arena, the status quo is that each voter must choose one of:

A) I must vote for the Democrat candidate because the Republicans are evil and they'll subjugate women and minorities.

B) I must vote for the Republicans because the Democrats are evil and they'll turn us into a bunch of commies.

There is no room in today's political debate for even mention of finer points of free speech philosophy, when all we can do is scare people into voting for the lesser evil.

Many politicians do care about their public image, and are susceptible to manipulation based on public pressure.

And this is no less true in the private sector.

I didn't have problems focusing for 3 hours. But when I was amped about what I was working on, it was frustrating to have to pause for a nap.

I think I originally scheduled 30 minutes for each nap, but I found myself waking up right before my alarm would go off, and it got easier to fall asleep, so I ended up with 20 minutes scheduled, 15 minutes of sleep.

I took a linear control systems class in college, probably at the peak of my mathematical abilities. I hadn’t yet forgotten the fundamentals of Laplace, Fourier, and solving differential equations. Not to say I was some math wizard, but at least the prerequisites were fresh on my mind.

It was fascinating, but I just couldn’t grok it. Whatever weaknesses I had in the relevant maths, that class just seemed to amplify it x10.

The 12-14 days is crucial here, I think: The US Army tested battle readiness and effectiveness off and on since WWII and found that you can keep a unit working well for a couple of weeks with about 4.5 hours a night. After that, they start to have serious problems. Less than 4.5 hours a night and the problems start a lot sooner.

Ask HN: Interesting topics for a “Build a web app in Java” book
Hi everyone,
I am software developer with experience in Java. By navigating some popular websites/social media, it is common to come across developers launching books for React, Node, Rust, Vue and etc. But I rarely have seen a Java book launch. I am thinking of writing up a practical Java book that helps developers write a full working web application. Some of the topics I am planning to cover are:
- REST API
- Authentication and authorization
- Interaction with the database (PostgreSQL)
- Interaction with a Bootstrap front-end
- Deploy to cloud services (AWS and Heroku)
Would you guys be interested in this? What are some topics you think would be interesting?
I don't think Texas allows mathematical baby names either.
There's evidence that it's substantially true (ex. security camera footage and confirmation by most worldwide press outlets).

Curious if you have evidence that it's fabricated? Other than your distrust of intelligence agencies in general.
One useful thing when managing one's time is to know when a command will complete. I have a habit of using "pv" anywhere I wait for a result so that I know how long it takes:

http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml

It's basically "cat", but with a progress bar. Also useful for measuring IO speed and volume (e.g. decompression: `pv -c largefile | gzip | pv -c > /dev/null` )
Doing what they said (and I'm good at it) just stresses me out to the point that I don't even sleep the night before. I'm sure it's terrible for my performance the next day of said stressful thing, too.

It also causes my work to back up which leads to even more stress.

I forgot where I read it but there was something about ADD people getting so used to living in constant anxiety that they need it to thrive. I've been trying really hard to live with less anxiety and knocking my work out early has really helped.
There are now podcast distribution services where you can host your podcasts and there are several things wrong with them:

- as a consumer, I am expected to install every podcast application that hosts podcasts I like.

- they usually don't expose RSS feeds because god forbid someone uses a third-party, general-purpose, RSS-based podcast application.

I don't like reading transcripts of interviews. I would much rather the author took the time to digest the material and present a summary. That said, this statement caught my eye:

"It’s been a very intense period partly because I was teaching a lot. And there was the shift to Zoom, which created more work because you’re trying to prepare differently and do your lectures differently. It’s obviously a surreal experience overall."

So why didn't Rogoff refuse to teach that way? Probably because cancelling his classes would have obligated Harvard to refund the tuition. So he went along with the school and provided a degraded learning experience to his students, all so Harvard didn't have to dip into its massive endowment and do the right thing.
I used to work with DICOM about 7 years ago. It was a complete shitshow. Most of the important data was in "private fields". Imagine all websites using CSS, but they all use different vendor-specific attributes like "-moz-border-radius: 5". Might as well use a proprietary format at that point.
to go full conspiracy theory, standards of fair trade, e.g. labour standards, worker rights, IP etc, exist to cripple emerging economies, to contain their growth and limit their ability to compete. political spin doctors have wrapped this up in the veneer of fair trade, equal standards, to get ordinary people to take the bait.

there are ways to mitigate the growing pains of economic development but to prevent it completely is not a solution. nearly all industrial nations have, at some point in their history, gone through the whole process - discovering necessary safety standards, methods to encourage cooperation and where it fails, enforcement and legal repercussions remedies and punishment, etc... that really ought to be hyper-local and community-specific in their implementation. first world governments are fully complicit in preventing emerging nations from developing this themselves.
There have still been recent popular TV series that release weekly, rather than all-at-once binges. Pretty much everything on HBO and FX, for starters. I don't think watching TV on a schedule has passed out of living memory. I personally remember very fondly the collective experience of watching things like The X-Files and Battlestar Galactica at the same moment as the rest of the country.
I'm not sure why you have negative points. Maybe because you meant in first world countries, and didn't they state it explicitly? The world is barely above replacement rate (i.e. population growth) and OECD members are below (population decline).

Short-term gain, long-term pain for the US with the Huawei chips decision.

Don't come crying to me when Huawei's new chips undercut prices and displace the Intel and AMD chips.

I remember people laughing at Japanese cars in the 1960s. It seemed that there was no way that they could displace the US 'Big Three'. Here we are sixty years later and the 'Big Three' are no more. Or at least, there is a very different 'Big Three' amongst the car makers of today: Toyota (1), Volkswagen (2), Renault (3). GM is now number 4, Ford is now number 6, and Chrysler is gone seeing that it's just an Italian subsidiary.
Better compared to other players at the moment or compared to your sober self? Because it could also just mean you handle alcohol better than friends you play with.

Jokes aside, fully agreed. You just gotta get enough alcohol that your confidence and peacefulness are up (which would cause you to play better), but not to the point where negative effects of alcohol overpower the positive ones. And that's a tricky one to balance.

There's no quality of communication that can magically circumvent a motivated-reasoning sort of critique. That's why this is an issue with the critique and not the other way round.

As a trivial historical example - an entire world superpower regularly and persistently engaged in and acted on large-scale unscientific motivated reasoning against its own self-interest and the problem with that was not that the best scientifically verifiable ideas available were inadequately communicated.
Research in general pretty much has to work this way. You're trying to identify "laws" or rules that govern reality. Outliers are interesting, but in general we expect to find many instances of some phenomenon—which means that by default we're looking for cause-and-effect relationships that apply in "most cases."

It's also worth mentioning that it's very easy for people to convince themselves that they're special or different when they actually aren't. Our own psychology is very unreliable. So while your point is well taken, people should also not assume they're the exception to the rule, even if they might be.
> At this point: I wish they’d just take a stronger stance and ban everything they don’t like.

Is there even any evidence that this app was banned because they "don't like" it? I mean, come on. This surely got flagged by an automatic system that thought it was a covid app. Google and Apple and social media and basically everywhere are absolutely flooded with apps and content designed to scam people by using fear of the pandemic. The need for a heavy hand to prevent this is real.

The world you want where people are free to talk about covid on every forum is a world where everyone's terrified grandparents are being scammed out of their savings. Scams like that were literally front page news on this very site not 15 hours ago!

Now... if they don't reinstate the app, then there's an argument. But I think the direction of the cuts made by Occam's Razor are really clear in this case: this is a false positive from a scam detector.

I find the cognitive tests in the experiment to be insufficient, to make the argument that practical cognition did not suffer and that the experimenter was 'productive for 16 hours'. The experiment uses two computer games and a 3 hr test, not much of a comparison to all day non-stop creative software development. The SAT is one neat little question after another, every challenge carefully crafted and nicely wrapped. Time to completion is always relatively easy to calculate.

Creative coding requires a level of alertness that I find is most similar to a chess game. A working day is around 8 hours. A 3 hour assignment feels like a half-day.

I wonder how many hours the author could play chess against a good opponent, on 4 hours of sleep a night? I doubt it approaches '16 productive hours'...

> Anti-communist (against the ideology) speech is not hate speech

Why not? Because you said so? If somebody hates communists and publicly proclaims that I don't see how it's not hate speech. Unless, of course, you massage the definition to match exactly the cases you like. Religion and ideology are the same thing - or, more precisely, religion is subset of ideology with some specific properties. Why would anti-certain ideology be different from anti-another ideology because some of these ideologies call themselves "religion"? How does it make any sense?

> something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation

Ok, so hating buddhists is hate speech, but hating communists isn't. And hating atheists is ... who knows. Now sure about Wiccans either. How about Objectivists? That looks like exactly the definition to match one narrow case of US contemporary politics (I'd even say very narrow sliver of a contemporary US politics), where racial and sexual discrimination issues is all the rage. But outside that context it makes zero sense, the categories it chooses are just arbitrary.

Is hating scientologists "hate speech"? Well, depends on whether it's a religion or not, right? Because if it's not then no hate speech for you. Is hating furries "hate speech"? If it's about sex fetish then yes, "sexual orientation", but if it's just about cosplay then no, because it doesn't fit the official categories. And so on. Completely nonsensical definition, unless you use it exactly as declared - to privilege certain categories of speech and suppress others, because you want so. There's no logical basis under it, just an arbitrary list.

> This is a workable definition and it doesn't lead to a slippery slope argument.

It's not workable because it selects arbitrary categories based on certain political agenda. If you expand it using "such as" and argue, for example, that regardless of whether Scientology is a religion or not, hating for the group characteristic of belonging to it is under "such as" - good, then how anti-communism is not "such as"? If I make a church that declares Vladimir Lenin a top saint and otherwise the views would completely match communist views with the exception that I also would celebrate Lenin's birthday once a year and call it a religion, now anti-communism is a hate speech? Or only if it's directed against me, but if it's against Chinese communist who has the same ideology but officially not in my church then it's not? Again, nonsensical.

> Was adaptation to Uberman staggeringly difficult?

Not sure which adaptation. For dropping into the mechanics of actually sleeping it was hard, but manageable. I spent a solid 48 hours awake. That ended at ~9:40 AM and I gave my spouse strict instructions to get me up at 10:00. I fell asleep instantly, and she had trouble getting me up in 20 minutes, but we got there. The second nap I had a couple shots of espresso right before I went down, and that helped me get back up. The worst part was that first night. I was sorely tempted. After a weekend I had kind of fallen in a rut, but it helped to be out and about for a bit, just so that I was stimulated enough to not feel sleepy. After about two weeks I had fallen into something that felt normal. Sleeping was kind of a chore then.

Adapting other parts of my life were harder. Close friends knew what was up, so when we went to a party or something I'd take my naps in a car, or another room. During the year I'd say I skipped half a dozen naps, and it was always a battle of willpower to not be completely derailed. I didn't drink, because I didn't want that to be a reason I skipped a nap.

These were the reasons I ultimately decided to stop, but it was never really a stable situation. Missing a single nap would throw me off so hard that it was a battle to go back into it.

Many normal people are super racist, so, Henry Ford does indeed qualify as a super-successful normal person.

My meta-point, of course, is that while excellence and the desire to achieve it (along with a bit of glory) can be admirable, success in life - in living your life, a good life - is wildly different from the famous people - any of them - whom society presents as a "success."

I'd rather be healthy and have meaningful, healthy relationships and "unsuccessful" than unhealthy and "successful" - and, I think that's _real_ success!
Is there a way to do time-on-page with backend-only analytics?
One problem with this approach is that if you've always had dysfunctional sleep, you don't understand what "feeling rested" really means. I had undiagnosed sleep apnea until my late 20s, and it was insane what a difference getting a CPAP made. I literally couldn't conceptualize how fatigued I had been all of my life until I had something to compare it against, and when I finally started getting restorative sleep my whole life changed.
This jives with my experience. When I missed a nap, I'd crash hard about 2 hours later. I'd end up taking a 2 hour nap, and then fight to get back on the schedule.
