I’m really sorry that sounds offensive to you but that’s probably just cognitive dissonance.

Stalin purged as many of his experienced officers as possible during the 1930s because he saw them as a threat.

Many show trials were filmed and you can watch them if you wish.

The yes men Stalin replaced them with made a lot of stupid decisions.

As a consequence a lot of people died unnecessarily.

If they’d have refused to follow stupid orders the alternative were death or gulag if the were lucky.

Sheer numbers and simple bravery are what got the Russian people through the war.

I suspect if one can a) exhibit genuine interest in becoming a customer waving their credit card around, and b) demonstrate ownership of 1FA for the account, then this would be relatively straightforward.

I started with feather blades. Cut myself a bunch the first few times. It doesn't really hurt but its just annoying because you don't want blood on your clothes. Eventually looked up a guide and found out I was doing it wrong and now I basically never have issues.
I think the trick with straight razors is to finish the blade with a denim strop with abrasive compound. I only have two stones, a 2k and a 5k. From there, I strop with a strip of denim that I put a little bit of automotive "swirl remover" (it's like car wax with a bit of abrasive in it, but the point is almost any kind of "polish" compound will work.)

I think it's hard to bring this study to bear on the critical period hypothesis in toto since its scope is narrow in both time and grammatical breadth (just sound production, and no other parts of comprehension or production), so we should maybe leave that aside.

You're right that the critical period hypothesis is still not settled, but let's go back to your proposal, that anyone who's immersed and motivated enough will be able to acquire nativelike proficiency. While we're in the realm of anecdotes (since you make reference to your own experience), I witnessed several peers of mine in a months-long language immersion program fall behind others in the program by quite a margin, with (IMO) little hope of nativelike proficiency even with months more of intensive classes, despite apparent motivation (sometimes much more than the better performers) and 24/7 immersion in the target language.

Going beyond anecdotes now, let's consider results from the literature against the assumption that if only adults could not be so easily discouraged they would be able to attain more nativelike proficiency. In that case, we'd expect at least a few places in time and space to have second language learners who do a phenomenal job of acquiring the target language, yet as far as I know that's never been found in the literature. Birdsong[0] reports that the range of attested rates of nativelike proficiency in L2 learners is between 5% and 25%. Moreover, there's a wealth of literature that documents in detail the specific ways in which language acquisition mechanisms falter beginning around age 6[1], which is in line with the suggestion that nativelike proficiency becomes progressively harder with age.

Neither of these results pushes your suggestion beyond plausibility, of course, but it does seem to me like the preponderance of evidence is on one side. If you know of any studies with findings that support the idea that motivation can be a decisive factor in acquiring nativelike proficiency in a second language I'd be really interested to see them.

These problems are definitely solvable with proper tooling. The specific challenges vary between RDBMS though. For example when running schema changes on large-scale MySQL/MariaDB, the key things are supporting external OSC tools, and supporting sharding. I wrote a diff-based schema management system, https://skeema.io, designed with precisely these concerns in mind.

There’s no question that there are good things about Facebook, but I think a fully contemplative person would need to balance those things against the harms Facebook allows to exist on their platform. It’s not a black and white question of good vs evil, as much as it is “does what this company does (or not do), on balance, comport with my values of right or wrong?” Evidence of wrong-doing and questionable judgment by the company’s leaders is abundant. And at some point you can’t continue to work for a company without being complicit in its sins; after all, a company hires someone because they need them to help execute the company’s decisions.

Saying “vaccines are safe” is like saying “drugs are safe”. Without qualification it’s a lie. Drugs tested to be safe are safe. Vaccines tested to be safe are safe.

The problem with the whole anti-anti-vaxxer thing is that any nuance gets lost. I’ve been called an antivaxxer (on the internet) for stating that I don’t want to take a poorly tested vaccine candidate.

Personally I am not afraid of SARS-CoV-2, for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low. Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally.

BTW, because both the mortality and unproven (and imo nonexistent) “long term impacts” of COVID-19 are so dramatically overblown, the threshold for “this vaccine is safe” will be very loose IMO. Especially simce you can argue that the societal benefit of the vaccine means it’s worth more risk than the risk of COVID infection.

Fortunately, most of the US is practically begging for a vaccine and will take it as soon as available, so at least we’ll have great data. (Provided negative reactions aren’t suppressed as censored the way legitimate scientific papers have been)
Things that make you go hmmmm: Groves could publish a memoir the Manhattan Project in 1962 (<20 years after the war), yet the JFK cancellation files have still not yet been fully released.

What I was able to glean from the preview: Groves wanted to bomb 京都, less because he knew exactly what military targets there were there, and more because it would have been "large enough in area for us to gain complete knowledge of the effects of an atomic bomb." I wonder how much this calibration wish factored into his rationalisation (p.266) for not demonstrating the bomb before dropping it on civilians?

Most Americans (2 in 3) are overweight or obese. I only found this on the first link of Google so it's not stratified by wealth, but do you really disbelieve that most poor Americans are overweight?
> However, there are lots of situations where one may want to substitute one enumerable type for another, and thus lots of opportunities to recoup that complexity. The first time the interface lets me write one function instead of two (say, a batch processing function that can deal with objects in an Array or those being streamed from an IO, because they both implement foreach), that's a win.

> I have to think a lot harder to come up with a situation where I have an object that might be an Option and might be a Future, and I don't care which type I have. It doesn't seem like it would ever come up in business logic, so we're probably looking at some sort of mid-level abstraction that depends a lot on the code on both sides of it. Maybe that's why writing a decent, concise tutorial is so hard.

I see where you're coming from. Monads are parametricity rather than substitutability: an Option and a Future are similar to each other in the same sense that a List<Int> and a List<String> are similar to each other. You'd never have a situation where you didn't care if you had a List<Int> or a List<String>, but there are still functions like sort() or find() or foreach() that are useful at the generic level.

And it's hard to do a good concise monad tutorial because they're an abstraction over an abstraction. Really a good tutorial would probably need three different examples - say Option, Future, and Writer - but then you'd probably need three examples for each of those to show why they're a worthwhile thing to be using in the first place.

> your example code actually depends on all the monad behaviors instead of just flatMap (I think - Scala is a foreign language to me).

flatMap/bind is the most important part - if you have a well-behaved (i.e. associative) flatMap you're 90% of the way to being a monad. I did use "wrap" for the base case (empty list), which is the kind of place it usually comes up. Don't get me wrong, it is important, but you can go a long way with just flatMap.

> I still don't know how often those circumstances come up in practice, but maybe with experience I'll start seeing the patterns more often.

Once you're used to them you see them everywhere - it's such a simple and general interface. I said anywhere you'd have a cross-cutting concern; another heuristic might be anywhere that you'd like to use the command pattern if you were "doing it properly", but there would be so much overhead to actually defining a command type. Simple things like authorisation - http://blog.sigfpe.com/2007/04/homeland-security-threat-leve... is slightly a joke, but it's something you can apply genuinely in an application that has some concept of being logged in at different privilege levels.
Interesting. There's a whole class of these non-invasive field methods to affect human brains - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_magnetic_stimulat... is another similar idea.

I have this cool book that I've recommended before on this site called Neurochronometrics of Mind or something close to that which discusses a lot of the data around these methods. It's super dense but I was interested in trying to build a device 10 years ago and was discouraged by most. Seems like the data points to it potentially yielding a plethora of positive outcomes if done properly, but probably not by a non-clinician. Really interesting stuff. Imagine watching your own brainwaves with a 4096 channel OpenBCI kit (openbci.org iirc) and then engaging in a biofeedback experiment where depending on how you consciously react to seeing your various brainwaves in real-time, the hypothetical combo device also has a series of rTMS tori that each selectively expose you to varying gauss levels (give me some rope here I'm not a mad scientist) that the various parts of your brain get exposed to. Not sure how applicable or useful it might be but it's interesting to think about. A colleague of mine worked on visualization of brain waves for technological applications and told me it was a pretty wild experience to see your brain waves in real-time while also watching them in parallel, so I imagine creating a tight feedback loop with an inbound magnetic field in response to your thoughts might have some weird and possibly pretty trippy effects.

Even when we can reasonably understand it it's still a tragedy that we can't provide a better alternative. Wether that is working therapy, cures for other illnesses, medication that make life enjoyable or any other change to society.

But I do agree that just blurting it out and pasting it places is inconsiderate, and not acknowledging the current reality of people's situations don't make them better.
Variance in language-learning ability after the so-called “critical period” can be to large extent explained by increase in its optionality.

As a child you really have no option but to learn your first language. The entire environment around you screams “learn the language” every hour of every day. People around you are incessantly encouraging you to learn it.

When you’re an adult, it’s very optional for obvious reasons. In fact, certain social dynamics might actively discourage one from learning a new language.

(Bear in mind the difference between first- and higher-order volition. The former does not readily lend itself to conscious control and is probably impossible to measure—merely spending large amounts of time on learning a language is not a reliable indicator.)

The fundamental premise of jameshart's comment is that group membership is what counts. jamehart assumes graycat is a man, that men talk to women in certain (oppressive) ways, and therefore graycat must show humility--or else.

The comment is nonsensical and incoherent interpreted any other way, and it obviously uses shame as a threat. A threat such as this is only effective if graycat is actually not a misogynist; if he were, he would just ignore it.

In other words, the essential characteristic of jameshart's comment is an appeal to graycat's moral self-doubt and it relies on his fear, guilt, or ignorance. jameshart expects graycat to renounce or revise his anecdote without discussion, under threat of being considered morally unworthy.

This kind of comment must not have a place on HN.
It’s technically novel but highly structurally and functionally similar to SARS-1. Someone who got SARS-1 17 years ago has t cells that react to SARS-2 today.

Similarly, but less strongly, exposure to other human CoVs produces t cell cross reactivity.

The “suppression/eradication” is just dogma. BTW eradicating SARS-2 is impossible. It’s zoonotic in origin. Viruses with abundant animal reservoirs can never be feasibly eradicated. Please do some reading on this it’s basic stuff.
It was a very weird moment when 'the bags' were published. On one hand it had to be done as there were conspiracy theories abound regarding who's in them. Intially pretty much everyone would log in to check if there's someone they know. Journalists would scour the records and then try to get the ones mentioned tell their story.

At the end of the day though everyone understands that:

1. Having a record there doesn't necessarily imply active and willing cooperation with the regime, due to how the whole thing functioned.

2. Someone not being there doesn't imply they were not active and willing collaborators.

3. It is almost a given that the most interesting records are long gone.

So, nothing has really changed. You still don't know for sure who were the scum amongst us.

Indiscriminate across species - those traps kill everything, not just mosquitoes. I'm sorry that you find insects intimidating but killing everything is not the answer to that and in the long run, unless you don't care about having food, ultimately counterproductive.

Why? I've spent a lot of time in tropical countries and found it very effective. Even just a running fan keeps most mozzies away as they aren't generally strong fliers.

Wow, this RISC-V ISA truly is quite brilliant.

Having worked on PPC, with a RISC Instruction set the difference between 128 bit vs 256 bit instructions really does eat up the limited opcode space for really trivial differences.

Also having written say one fast version of vector array copy can now just be used between different vector version lengths, no need to write different versions to exploit expanded width, and same goes for many vector compiler optimizations.

How does this work with physical registers as opposed to architectural ones? Typically in PPC the 128 bit and 256 bit ones were architecturally and physically non-overlapping so you did get extra registers when you go from 128 to 256 or 512. I don't know if that's the case for RISC-V here.

But yeah, brilliant looking forward to more!

R0 is an observed metric, not an inherent metric. That is, the R0 for asymptomatic patients depends on how those patients interact with other humans, not just on how the disease works. Reducing human interactions will reduce R0 for every communicable disease including COVID-19.

This is highlighted on the Wikipedia page, for example:

> R_{0} is not a biological constant for a pathogen as it is also affected by other factors such as environmental conditions and the behaviour of the infected population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number

We don't need to know the R0 to know that COVID-19 causes abnormal impacts on society like increased hospitalizations and deaths; those abnormal impacts are how we discovered the disease in the first place. Those are the reason that affected societies are changing how they work temporarily to mitigate the impact of the disease.
