I was diagnosed with ADHD over 20 years ago. I took medicine to help cope it with it for much of my life, by choice, I chose to try to find other remedies on it.

This is certainly not medical advice and is very much anecdotal, but I do find that simple remedies of getting outside, meditating, and exercising regularly help me a lot with managing my negative symptoms. I appreciate your view point and can see your point. My goal was to share something that has anecdotally helped me in the hopes that it might help someone else.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond, it means a lot.
Sure, normally you need about 2x to install anything (both apps are kept until the new version is done and validated). But that's less than the 3x, if you also kept the download there.

Anyway. Yeah, silent installs make this dangerous, no disagreement there at all (tho they're always more dangerous. I'd prefer to never have them). But there's also no reason that Android can't provide a protected external store, except that they've been self-destructively hostile to external storage in any form. It won't work if you remove the SDCard and manipulate it elsewhere, but that's not the attack vector here - it's entirely possible to protect from things on-device, just like they do for internal storage. They even partially achieve it now, with "adopted" internal storage, so it's absolutely possible.
Why is the simple solution just "pretending"? What evidence is there that a complex solution exists or works? What is the basis of the assumption that good actors are not as effective as bad actors? Why has society not devolved into chaos if that's the case? How did this work before social media and online anonymity?
Numbers are relative? Compared to the management overhead of all the taxi companies in the world it is orders of magnitude smaller. And after today it is 800 people smaller on top of that. So yes, very small, very efficient.
Do you think people would be more or less inclined to go to restaurants if the epidemic goes back to out of control exponential? [1]

South Korea recently reopened bars and clubs, and just shut them down again, because masks and voluntary social distancing aren't enough for this virus.

Do you think Americans are more, less, or equally capable of voluntary compliance to this sort of thing than Koreans?

[1] I'm comfortable enough to order takeout at the moment. If we go back to exponential spread, I'm going right back to bunkering down, and not spending a single dollar on anything but groceries.
Let's hope that the increase in CO2 will make us not notice it.
Thank you for DateTime! I used it, er, daily for almost ten years.

One problem I have run into in trying to get employers to give something back to the Perl community was that it was all very... indie/hippy/whatever. Even though there were/are a great many profitable enterprises utterly dependent on the Perl ecosystem, the Perl community made no real effort to extract money from them.

Which is great! But also makes it hard for bosses in conservative outfits to justify donations. I managed to get a corp-rate conference ticket paid for, but that was in 2007, don't think I could do it now.
Glad I bought mine before that craze. Has that opened a cheap used GPU market or did they burn them out?
You acknowledge that speech can be a precursor to action. We have seen direct evidence of this.

Following a speech by president trump where he uses coded hate speech, violence against minorities increases.

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3102652

I'm not arguing we make hate speech illegal, or have thought crime. In fact if it were up to me racists would be even more up front about their deplorable worldview. But I think it's very important that the employees of companies are allowed to exercise their own value systems by denying users of hate speech a platform.

This isn't a defense of banning anti-PRC posters though. Calling xi jinping Winnie the Pooh isn't hate speech. Discussing what constitutes hate speech could be another valuable discussion perhaps held elsewhere - I don't agree that a definition is impossible, if that's where you're thinking of going. I don't agree that there's a slippery slope.
Our lockdowns were so badly done they didn't even decrease the daily case count. In Korea and many other places, they ended lockdowns after a few months because cases dropped orders of magnitude.

In the US, we're "opening back up" while many states are hitting daily records. Our lockdowns were a disaster and "opening back up" is going to cause an explosion in cases.

If our lockdowns had been done right we would be able to reopen the economy now with little risk

That's 10-20% of a typical property tax bill. They're fudging the numbers somewhere.
Towards this;

I find it ironic that restaurants fired most of their staff just in time for schools to close and charities to beg for volunteers to help make and deliver basic meals to children.
> Most Western customers really do not care. Like, really-really.

I think this is starting to change and it gives me a lot of hope. The fallout from the NBA and Blizzard incidents was pretty significant and the HK protests received far more attention than any others in recent years.
It does? What incentive?
Laws are written for the sole purpose of serving our needs. "Free markets" are also a made-up concept designed to serve us. If they are no longer doing that we should change it as we see fit.

> The idea that some governing body can better choose my communication platform for my personal needs than I can for myself doesn't seem logical from my point of view.

It's an elected body that is chosen by the people in a fair and free democratic process. Why would they be incapable of serving their electorate?
I don't consider Wikipedia a valid reference for anything more trivial than sports statistics or Hollywood trivia these days.

I'd imagine the amount of blatant organized 'revisioning' by nation states, NGOs, for-profit corporations, and politically biased individuals is now dwarfing the objective individual contributors who once were the majority of Wikipedia's editors.

I would like to see a comparison of RoI of: government, business, and VC technical research. I am not convinced that the results will favor the VCs.
This is why I say I'm not able to communicate my thought very well. Your statement is simply the obvious, this is not what I'm trying to get at.

It's more like... why did my consciousness decide to attach itself specifically to "my" body, and only my body? Is it REALLY only attached to my body? Each of us are simply a collection of atoms - as Carl Sagan says, we are the universe trying to understand itself.

I have consciousness AND I'm just merely made up of atoms, while every other person is also merely made up of atoms. Does that mean my consciousness could have randomly ended up inside any other "being"? And would that consciousness be the "same" me, just in a different body? OR would "my" consciousness be affected and come out differently if it were filtered by a different being? This is kind of what I'm trying to get at.

Someone else on this thread said something along the lines of they think of consciousness as a field that permeates everything. This is along the lines of what I'm thining. Consciousness is the same, we are all the same consciousness, simply filtered in different modules.

Nothing lower on your list can be changed more easily than accept language. So, if it is wrong, anything lower has a high likelihood of being wrong too. That' why your #1 and 2 are important.

And you have no means of knowing that the accept language is wrong anyway. But it's always there (for mainstream browsers), and more trustworthy than the lower options. You won't have the chance of falling back into them. (A non configured browser has that header set, and you don't know if the browser user can change it or is lying.)

The idea that Georgia has been "open for three weeks" is easily debunked by looking at the behavior of Georgia residents, not at government proclamations or online disinfo campaigns.

If you have perfect fraud prevention rules that can't be gamed, then you can open-source them. It's just that nobody has ever found or invented them.
Wendy's is out of beef in some locations. Of the big chains they will be hit first because of their "fresh, never frozen" policy on beef. The others have some cushion in the form of warehouses of frozen product. Domino's is out of ham. Grocery stores everywhere are limiting purchases of meat, milk, and eggs. My favorite grocer's butcher counter is frequently 1/3 empty. I have a good relationship with the butcher and he told me when deliveries come and to show up early on those days because there is a rush to get product.

The shortages are here. So far they're not so bad that people will starve, they will just have to transition to alternative food choices. How far it will go is anyone's guess.

AMD seems to design their components to get all the way up to 95 and sit there. It happened in the stock cooler for the 3600, and it happens on my 5700xt, even though I went for one of the nicer cards. It's still below the safe junction temperature, and it won't fry, and it can even run just fine like that for several hours.

The downside is that there is evidence that such high temperatures increase electron migration (or something similar) in the chips themselves, leading to not infinite lifetimes. I want this computer to last 10 years, so I bought an aftermarket CPU cooler for $30 to keep temps closer to 50 degrees
you absolutely should not expose yourself in a way that harms you excessively. noone is helped by your torment.

I like Dr. Bronner:

Those "equal time" laws, more collectively the Fairness Doctrine, was struck down as unconstitutional because it forced broadcasters to host speech they did not agree with.

Why would we expect to be able to force Google to host speech they disagree with?
While such definitions are good for casual conversation, they are not good for scientific discussion. Or you end up with nonsense like “my doorknob has consciousness“, well, lets define what consciousness is first.

With “consciousness” in particular having good definition became important since there are a lot of discussions about “is AI conscious?” which might in the future dictate policy decisions.
What law did Congress pass that violates the first amendment to the Constitution? You of course acknowledge that that limitation of the first amendment is explicit - Google, not being an aspect of the government, can do whatever it pleases regarding speech.
WeWork is to remote work, as Cyber-Cafes were to home computers
It has more to do with the supply chain. Farmers sell to organizations who target certain areas. they sell to grocers who sell in stores. They also sell to restaurants, schools, etc. The restaurants and schools closed, so did those supply chains. Those who normally ate at school and restaurants now wanted to eat at home. Grocers had to pick up the supply chain. They didn't want to invest because this uptick was only temporary. So we had demand shock. If they raised prices, they'd be harassed for price gouging. So, then people started hording because there was no incentive to not horde, so the supply chain got more stressed.
I'd agree the world is topsy-turvy when the New York Times thinks "are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins" is cool but a white guy wearing a sombrero is beyond the pale.
> It gets tricky in assigning ownership in a durable way

Who decides when properties should be sold? Seems like there might be contention around that.

In traditional real estate, I own my property equity without having to pay marketing costs, executive salaries, payroll/wage taxes, employment benefits, ongoing legal and accounting fees, and everything else required to run a business.

How can you cover such costs without significantly diluting the equity I earn as I rent? I’m not saying you can’t, I’m genuinely curious.
I'd say there's some slack in the system due to how incredibly wasteful the HoReCa sector is, in particular hotels and event catering. But to the extent people shifted from eating out to eating in, that amount of extra demand isn't met by the consumer-oriented sector, and must be eventually reflected somewhere. I'm honestly surprised the food prices haven't gone up just yet, given the stories I hear saying that processing plants supplying HoReCa have a problem adjusting to providing to grocery stores.
Three of the four examples I gave were anti trump because they happened to be at the top of my blocked list, probably because they were the first posts I was annoyed by. I also mentioned r/trumpforpresident.

And in my opinion, your third paragrah applies even stronger to heavily moderated subreddits (/r/the_donald anyone?) because dissenting opinions are just removed. Unless this is super public and regularly discussed, oftentimes I find that it's easy to forget about and fall into the trap of thinking that everyone feels a certain way. Sure at first it is right in the front of your mind but eventually it fades away (at least, in my experience).
It's not creepy, it's how human babies are made.

I didn't mean it was sex for stay, just that for many people the whole experience was very much sexual. I mean, for crying out loud, it's a young, attractive woman going to stay at some dude's bachelor pad. Some people here must think women are so stupid. They know exactly what's going on.
Look at all the flagged comments in this thread and all over the site. HN is the most influential technology forum on the internet, the government should really get involved in preventing the kind of mass censorship that goes on this forum. I am being entirely sarcastic.
India is a regulatory nightmare. It's more likely to be Tokyo or Seoul. Maybe Sydney but from a geographic perspective Australia isn't exactly ideal.
I don't think it would be that tough. They need to make sure their engineers are as objective and neutral as possible, and technically only allow Americans to say anything they want, but they would still have authority to remove foreigner content, especially since many countries will reach out to YT to do so because those countries censor their populace on a daily basis and have an industry around it.
Congrats on starting!

One bit of advice I would personally give is to remember that work is just work.

You will have responsibilities, deadlines, arguments, critisms and one day you might find yourself anxious and stressed out. When that happens, it's nice to remind yourself that the critical bug or whatever you're working on is meanigless in the grand scheme of things. No matter how passionate you are about your company, your personal life and principles should always come first.

It sounds obvious but humans tend to forget that kind of stuff.
VCs seem perfectly content to point to a power law curve and "admit" that in their view, "true" valuation is impossible and irrelevant, risk is so high most companies are going to fail, so all they care about are the outsized wins. They then turn around and put in a ton of warrant provisions and downside protection anyway, but they at least claim publically that power law rules

> "The problem with this strategy is that most restaurants cannot survive on reduced capacity or economic participation by the public."

No shit, but 100% of restaurants would fail with zero capacity. A partial open is better than nothing.

> "and if things open back up and people don’t show, we’re going to have a very different economic problem on our hands."

What would that be?

But they did have the foresight to make it a document that could be edited. That part did take forethought and was revolutionary by men who were very much ahead of their time. I understand that judgement of figures of the past by modern ethics is the newest trend, but history has to be given a bit of context and what is a given now was blasphemous at the time. Some of the things, like a constitution that could evolve, was not the norm.
No problem, just try to make sure you have enough cash reserves to be able to keep up with Amazon in a price war and you also started in 2005 back when Amazon was still small and couldn't crush you like a bug.
Why is this being posted now? This is not only from 4 years ago- but the claims Crowdstrike made were disputed by Ukrainian military authorities and Crowdstrike themselves even revised their original findings. They apparently misinterpreted the IISS data and vastly overestimated artillery losses. In addition, the application used for artillery targeting at the time didn't have access to any network or gps data.

Jeffrey Carr, cybersecurity researcher points out his own concerns about the crowdstrike allegations here:

> is it possible that not seeing things as patterns allows for a more intuitive grasp?

Yes! I think about this often. There is sort of a Zen or Bruce Lee aspect where thinking of things strictly in terms of named categories can lead to overly rigid thinking and cause you to avoid better solutions simply because they don't have a name and don't seem as "real".

There is a balancing act, though. When we write code on a team, there is a real value to shared understanding of the codebase. Sticking to familiar categories, even at some minor expense of fitness to the task, is probably a net gain if it makes it easier to the entire team to understand what the code is doing and why.

It's also important to remember that the primary reason the Gang of Four wrote Design Patterns and called them patterns after Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language is because they are not rigid copy/paste structures. If they were, we'd just call them data structures or algorithms.

The fundamental premise of why we call these patterns is that each manifestation of a pattern will appear slightly different, shaped by the context in which it is applied. That's why you don't often see resuable "pattern implementation libraries".

Good literature on patterns stresses this flexibility. Less good literature tends to just say "here's the thing that solves all your problems" and discourages readers from thinking deeply.
The difference here is that Apple will not only patch zero-day vulnerabilities when they are reported to them, but they will also instantly deploy the fixes to their entire 5 years worth of device lineup as soon as it is ready.

With Android, unless you have a Pixel or Samsung is feeling very, very magnanimous, forget any patches coming to your device any time soon. And that too only 3 years for Pixel.
For someone just starting to learn about computer architecture at a low level (rather embarrassing for someone who's been in the industry for over a decade), this is a really interesting read, and it's helping concepts like pipelining and caching to gel.

>Those rules applied today would result in indecipherable cesspools of memes at best or a community of authoritarian sympathizers at worst, who would be oh-so-happy to start conditioning their like-minded members to force undesirables away, either explicitly through bans or implicitly through non-stop hatred and coordinated harassment.

It seems like the only point of disagreement between you and "them" is who should be targeted.
