I was diagnosed, with dyslexia, dyscalculia and disgraphia, although for better or worse I also tested as profoundly gifted.

I think it boils down to, is there a structural difference in the brain that if studied can give insights into learning differences and optimal approaches to addressing learning differences and potential areas where a person with dyslexia or some underlying structural difference might have natural advantages. Such as the theory that dyslexics tend to think visual-spatially rather than lexically which could be advantageous for various engineering and business disciplines where being able to easily think about complex structures from different angles is beneficial.

Although the remedial approaches to addressing difficulties in reading may work equally well for individuals who experience difficulties for disparate causes, if there is in fact an opportunity to glean information on these types of fundamental difference in how the mind works that would likely pay dividends as the students progress into higher education and their careers.

Yes, cloud bullshit, which is currently running the world based on the size and scale of the cloud providers.

I recall a story where a friend was unable to publish a paper in which he wrote an alternative to a very commonly used commercial tool (that virtually everybody used) with roughly 10 times better performance. He open sourced it and all, it was extremely useful, but there was no new methodology, it was simply very well implemented.

At a talk of his it lead to a very heated discussion where an older professor accused him of wasting government money on such nonsense.
This essay mentions the Younger Dryas but what it doesn't mention is that the Younger Dryas was a sudden return to glacial temperatures after the earth had already warmed up at the end of the last glacial period. The magnitude of these swings in both directions are absolutely enormous and occur at much too rapid a speed to be attributable to trace greenhouse gas concentrations. Something else must have caused those swings. Either volcanic and geothermal activity or meteoric activity are the only likely culprits.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas

There is evidence of Geothermal activity under the Antarctic ice sheet. Why is magma not on the table for glacial melting? See NASA article below:

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=6996

By the way the Antarctic ice sheet is currently at median levels (based on 1981-2010 baseline): https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/

The article also mentions 1m of sea level rise before 2100. There is no evidence of sea level rise acceleration. It is averaging 3.3 mm per year since 1993. Assuming there is not a cyclical downtrend in sea level (likely sometime this century, given grand solar minimum odds or chance of a major volcanic event), that would only amount to just under a foot per century of sea level rise.

In this age of mobile phones, a phone call is the gold standard for realtime business communication. It's pretty reasonable to expect someone to answer their phone if their direct supervisor calls during work hours. Text messages are more fuzzy with the implied expectation of response time. Online messages (IMO anyway) shouldn't be considered a realtime channel.

I need to build a custom board for an ESP32 which should support low-power deep sleep and which should contain some additional circuitry (is that what you call it?) to drive an Eink display.

Basically this[1] board, but a different shape and better low-power sleep properties.

If I wanted to design this board myself, how long would it take to learn this? Are there good resources?

If I were to pay somebody to do design this, what order of magnitude would the cost be in?

Private companies censoring isn't a new thing.

Regardless, information is shared as such a rate now that comparing them to anecdotes from the 80s isn't even applicable. I'd have trouble believing a radio talk show host from the 80s would host self-proclaimed neo nazis like Joe Rogan has. If anything, speech is so free now that we see opinions that wouldn't have seen the light of day a few decades ago. Which is why content hosters are having to tackle the question of what they allow, and hopefully they make the right decision.

And it shouldn't really. Assuming dyslexia is the result of structural differences in how the brain operates and not simply that a person is behind the curve on reading ability.

If say dyslexia behind the scenes looked something like the difference between being left handed or right handed, a persons natural athletic skill (IQ) might improve their odds of throwing a good right handed pass yet regardless of athletic skill their outcomes would be better throwing left handed.
A problem with suppressing unrelated discussion (like politics and public policy) for all the right reasons such as those mentioned above, is that the suppression alone can be validly interpreted as the bosses/mods/admins reinforcing the status-quo if the workers/employees/users already feel oppressed or marginalised.

Advancing progressive politics necessarily requires upsetting the status-quo, whereas if someone is a social-regressive then simply adhering to the status-quo suits their agenda just fine.

...so then some places want to avoid that image so they do allow discussion on controversial topics with the constraint that people debate things civilly - so far so good - except those same places want to void an image of partisanship - and in the spirit of freedom-of-speech they'll allow discussion on any topic (again, provided it's done civilly).

...which leads to that place or community falling victim of the paradox of intolerance (as, by their own rules, those communities must allow for the advocacy of genocide and unspeakable crimes provided they're advanced by an individual who conducts themselves with politeness, while their debate opponent might be a gay, black disabled Ethiopian Jew who is rightfully concerned for their own life and future who may utter a swear-word a bit too loudly and suffer censure for doing so).

As far as I can tell, the most workable solution to that is for the bounds of the Overton Window to be explicitly declared by the bossses/mods/admins - and in doing-so instantly open themselves up to accusations of partisanship, especially if extremists take advantage of people acting in good-faith.

I believe in most places the current Overton Window permits discussion and advancement of communist utopian ideals but not far-right ethnonationalism - assuming those two are somehow equivalent - and if Facebook - or any other place - had a similar declared Overton Window policy then it can be said they're biased towards the left, which is great fodder for the pundits on America's most popular right-wing TV news channel.
> Curious how you think it's possible for FB to prevent the spread of disinformation?

For example by doing something when they are warned for years by multiple entities that FB is used as a tool to support genocide, like in Myanmar.

It seems that only when such things blow up publicly and the stench of bad publicity gets too bad they send out Zuckerbot announcing his usual platitudes to then get back to business as usual. And that's far from the only example were their product was used for oppression by authoritarian regimes.

This company could do a hell of a lot more to counter this. But they just don't give a shit, unless publicity gets too bad.

edit : word change
But still "base load" is no law of nature. Half the market is on fixed price, and regulation has so far dictated that there has to be a lot of "base load" type power production, and without co2 externalities priced in that's been profitable for producers too. But it's all rules and tech we invented and can be changed.

The amount of supply following the current industrial users are incentivised to do, and the requisite investments, will be much higher once the fixed price system is dismantled from the remaining portion of the market.

In theory I suppose the tether could be equipped with a large-ish rocket that's capable of going out and grabbing anything that misses and putting it back on a correct course. If you had to use it all the time, it wouldn't be worth constantly refueling it -- you might as well not use the tether at all and just use bigger rockets. But if it only gets used occasionally, it's probably a good insurance policy to have on hand and would just be a cost that gets amortized across all the successful launches.

Are you glad that 1M people have died from coronavirus? Or are you capable of accepting that there is a trade-off between preventing people from receiving life-saving vaccines in the name of protecting them (Type 2 errors) versus letting people die of toxic vaccines that are allowed onto the market (Type 1 errors)? In this context, it's very hard for Type 1 errors to exponentially compound. However, I have 1M coffins worth of evidence that Type 2 errors do exponentially compound.

But more importantly: why do you think you have the right to tell another adult what they can and cannot do with their own body? No one is forcing you to take an experimental vaccine from a potential Theranos. So why stop others from taking that risk, especially when (i) allowing them to do so has positive effects on those who choose not to take the vaccine and (ii) preventing them from doing so potentially robs millions of people the chance to live, if only they had access to a vaccine quicker?
You can look at ratios like WACC and ROIC.

TSMC's weighted average cost of capital is 7% (WACC)

ROIC % measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested in its business. For TSMC the ROIC is 28%.

If you would like to compare competitors these ratio's combined with growth rate give a very good market overview.

You're correct on all fronts. Domain driven design, POROs- all of it. I bet you maintain something nice!
What happens if I no longer trust our government to protect me from predatory business practices? I ask that, because I no longer trust the CDC after their series of recent scandals.

Ironically, it's largely due to successful Russian efforts that I no longer know who to trust for advice on vaccines.

From what we're hearing so far [1], it seems that POTUS will promise a vaccine is on its way just before the election, but then never deliver it. What I'm worried about, though, is that a vaccine will simply show up and start being rolled out by a compromised CDC, or FEMA, or Army, or whoever the administration can force to do it.

Ask HN: Which service is best for small scale non-static web hosting?
I've read through pricing plans of many providers, including aws, gcp, digital ocean, and a myriad of other web hosting providers that advertise as being budget friendly that were new to me. I'm aware of free options such as heroku, but would rather just start with a service I won't have to migrate from for a long time. I plan to host a few personal projects which require websocket connections, and some which require occasional heavy computing.

I'm fine with any reasonable monthly cost, but I'd like to be secure in knowing the maximum charge per month unless I explicitly approve more expenditure. Lots of services leave it pretty unclear as to whether the site will just go down upon exceeding monthly resource limits, or if it'll stay up and continue billing, or if it just starts billing for the next month early, etc.

> it's just papering over the problem of bloated classes with too many responsibilities.

If you're blindly coding away and using some feature just because it's there you've got bigger problems with how you go about programming, that's not special to Rails.

I find concerns to be an intermediate mechanism to use in migrating the bloat out to some other abstract level. However, adding abstractions beyond MCV has it's own problems, each level means the developer has to understanding something more, one can't escape that.

Pretending that one can fully anticipate the complexity of large project and model it perfectly via the way you organize your code is really only something done by the the beginning programmer. Concerns can be very tight, as you note, and of course any feature can be used poorly. I like concerns, we have many that haven't been touched, and lead to an ability to extremely rapidly spread functionality around a huge number of models (e.g. different annotation classes). I'm also guilty of using them in the intermediate manner above. In the long term, one sees these patterns, and doesn't fret about such things.

> FWIW your attempt to get the latency really low could be misplaced.

I totally understand your point, but it turns out I can have my cake and eat it too at an affordable price if I eBay and take chances on the fractured PC thunderbolt implementation landscape.

What near-zero latency gives me is the ability to use the immense power of my DAW’s dsp controls, to modify the sound of my voice and guitar, and record nearly that exact sound.

I’m middle aged, and to me this is the promise of real-time pc-based DAW, finally delivered for a few hundred dollars.

The crazy thing is that it seems Focusrite gave up on providing non-Mac computers with thunderbolt interfaces. The support costs were just too high. This is due to things like crappy Thunderbolt implementation by Dell and others.

My research led me to find that to get the best $ per low latency, you have to buy a used 4 Pre or 8 Pre, as Focusrite moved thunderbolt support up to their 10x priced Red line.

According to an official Focusrite support response on Reddit, thunderbolt support only adds around 1 ms of latency advantage. While I believe that specific metric from that source, isn’t it true that thunderbolt might allow for more simultaneous CPU <-> outboard DSP bandwidth? It certainly feels like that over USB. It feels like I can have a lot more cpu-intensive stuff like reverb and delays over thunderbolt.

In any case, for my crappy playing chops, having near-zero latency gives me the ability to record my stream of consciousness audio outbursts with newfound accuracy and steadiness.

I think it’s rather that it was introduced in a domain where users historically can (and often need) to be able to do more or less anything as many operations are extremely time-sensitive and they generally live in the ass-end of nowhere, CA. Any measure which can (and does) hamper the ability to do the thing right here right now without huge benefits to compensate is an active threat.

Graham Hancock has some wacky ideas, but is always (and unusually) careful to distinguish fact from speculation. (And his wife's photos are excellent.)

It is a circular argument that extinctions coincide with arrival of humans: that humans arrived at that time is an assumption, and one that is losing credibility. Anyway, as noted, you also need to explain why humans didn't wipe out African megafauna (no, wariness doesn't), and also why Clovis culture disappeared suddenly across the continent. One may doubt they starved immediately after wiping out the last of their prey.

You can quibble all you like about nanodiamond crystallography and carbon granules, but sharp platinum peaks at 200x above background, found at dozens of sites, need better explanation. It is curious--telling, even--that critics dwell on osmium isotope ratios and never mention platinum.

Been there. A few years back I got a government scholarship for my PhD (which is still in progress, due to my follow up work). I basically built the foundation upon which to establish a new field for my university, and the region where I live. There are some professor who think that scholarship (and the little money it gave me) was wasted on my because I chose to build all of that from the ground up, instead of rushing through my PhD.

> It's funny how White people use “black” with almost unlimited breadth right up until that challenges the original whiteness of territory they view as an ancestral homeland, and then immediately start demanding that the blackness be viewed maximally narrowly.

That’s a pretty impressive generalization. It’s also not very charitable to imply that people are being defensive about some sort of racial homeland instead of taking them at their word that they are skeptical of the wild conclusions that aren’t supported by the science.
