> There was a meta-study analysis in 2015 that pointed at a decline in its effectiveness between 1977 and 2014. I wonder whether it's because studying anything to do with a human brain is hard and we can't trust the numbers or if it's because of changes in society that caused people's personality to shift in a direction which makes CBT less effective.

Another theory is that methodology doesn’t matter and the result mostly depends on personal qualities of the psychiatrist. And CBT was effective because the best specialists adopted it. When the rest of the profession caught up effectiveness went down.

I think that kind of adjustment is usually the responsibility of the pollsters, with their likely voter models. I don't think FiveThirtyEight directly tries to also apply such an adjustment, because that would be at serious risk of overcorrecting.

Similarly, this year many pollsters have added level of education as a factor to their demographic weighting, to address a shortcoming in their 2016 performance. FiveThirtyEight consumes those poll numbers without adding their own layer of demographic adjustment.

I think most people have enough DCMA experience to know that GitHub were legally required to do what they did. They had no choice.

The repo owners should be able to file a counter notice to reinstate the repo.

Ignoring the threat that these hornets pose to people, standing back and allowing our honeybee population to be wiped out would have incalculable effects across the ecosystem.

1) I wasn't aware couple meant literally in the past 20 years and not the past handful (which to me would be anything within recent memory).

2) Transgender people do not have the legal protections that people of color do. There have only recently been laws to protect transgender people to be employed, have healthcare, etc. on the federal level- and what protections exist can be easily stripped away due to "moral disagreement" of the employer. You cannot refuse as an employer to give a black woman healthcare because you have a "moral disagreement" with her being black.

If you want to save money then cooking bulk foods at home might make sense, people just need to make sure they're really calculating the costs properly. If you want a balanced diet and varied menu, then it can be expensive and labor intensive.

If you want to save the environment, then you should reconsider your whole diet. Reduce meat intake and make smaller meals with more environmentally conscious ingredients(likely more expensive).

Regarding leftovers, plenty of people put restaurant leftovers in a container and take them home to eat later. The people who don't would likely waste food at home too.
I am quite familiar with the situation between Iran and US, and most of my life I've been on your side of this argument.

World politics is very complex with lots of nuance, historical context and long-running grudges. It is also highly subjective, in a sense that every country / group of allied countries have their own view of the historical events and try to disseminate those views as wide as possible.

As a result, I've decided to judge countries by the authoritarianism of their regimes and cruelty of their laws. If country's government is treating their own citizens like shit without rights, I do not expect them to treat people on the outside any better, regardless of how they present themselves. Thus, I do not, as an individual human being, want to see these countries / regimes to gain any more power externally.

So far, this approach for me had made most sense.

As a side note, look at the current list of best friends of a corrupt regime in Russia: Iran, North Korea, China, Philippines, Venezuela, up until recently - Turkey. Every dictatorship in the world is on their list of friends. Same with Iran. "When the character of a man is not clear, look at their friends."

Regarding whataboutism and Russia, I want to remind you that my reply to the OP was not about Iranian sanctions, but was about sanctions as a political instrument overall. For me the most prominent case lately were sanctions against Russia, so that's what I used as an example. I'm very familiar with the situation in Russia and even though sanctions indeed antagonized the regime there, it did make them stop and think whether they want to keep escalating. It's hard to imagine what over appropriate response should've been to annexation of the Crimea, downing of the Malaysian Boeing and sending troops and equipment to create essential a civil war in a big region of Ukraine.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about HLS (doh!). But even there HLS, while based on HTTP, is still very different to the kind of GET requests the GP (or however many posts down it was now) suggested when they talked about downloading a file.

HLS is not about downloading a file, it's about downloading chunked data. It wasn't intended (though it can't be prevented) that the chunks would be used to recreate a video in full, unlike with a stream of bytes from a HTTP GET which are very much intended to be recreated in full at the receivers end.

HLS really only uses HTTP transport as headers to circumvent many firewalls (and in fact you can do this with RTMP too, eg RTMPT) but aside from that it's a completely different beast to GET.

Ask HN: How to publicize an ambitious new open source project?
I'm building a replacement for a widely used Internet application that causes many of its users substantial suffering.

The project is ready for evaluation by the Internet community, but not yet production use. It needs open source contributors and constructive critique.

I've been working on it solo for >2y, and have circulated a handful of releases to a few friends. I don't have a broad personal network.

It hasn't yet been publicly announced. How can I publicize this?
It's probably not "concerted"... more of Google and Microsoft doing damage control because of the expected Apple ARM domination of the near future.
I mean technically the election is a 100% accurate poll. You get data from every voter.

It is important to not confuse Google Reader/Notes/Chat with Google Search. Google Search is the gateway to Google's vast profits and they put many of their best people on keeping the product top notch. There are probably hundreds of sub-models and thousands of optimizations that would take years to build out.
Is the chemical imbalance theory accepted by all the experts? I remember seeing an article that questioned it. It also pointed to a study which showed that a lot of the antidepressant effect can be attributed to just placebo. I personally don't know much about the subject though so I don't know what sources to trust.
The way I think about it, Google's interests aren't aligned with Apple's interests.

Think about the money that Apple has invested in their own bespoke ARM chips. They could have stuck with Broadcom or Samsung chips for the iPhone but they didn't. They wanted things that they couldn't get access to through a supplier, and a competitive advantage.

If I were an executive at Apple I would look at the risk every supplier contributed to overall profitability and margins. And I would look to see how much value I could capture for Apple vs paying it out to third parties.

So for me the question is about "How much of the user experience can I ensure will meet my standards?" and having your own search engine would help there. There are other values as well when you can make large scale semantic queries against the entire web. And it can be extremely lucrative to tie the "search experience" as a feeder into your other products (which is part of what the Justice department doesn't like about Google)
It is when it's already a sunk cost that would've already been invested even without the search deal, resulting in the incremental cost to add a Google default next to zero.

There's no reason for this recurring payment to be compared against revenue when it's essentially pure-profit contribution that cost Apple close to 0 marginal cost to implement.
I'm sure it's much more probable than we're in the wrong path, rather than the good one, but I don't think the amount of information needed by a GPT model can give insights to that.

I am trying to say that maybe they should have made the architectural decisions which wouldn't prevent non-GTK applications from working in GNOME. That's all.
What you say is that our actions even without explicit names, etc. can be used to identify the actual person. This is kind of missing the point. Because, that sort of reverse lookup can't scale, and in a very large number of cases it won't be. [Edge case: only person in a village or a post code].

By removing the directly identifiable info, the damage done in a breach would be less. Where as now, a single breach contains all the data that could identify a person and every person in that breach, without having to do any/much reverse look up.

Now, the orgs that collect this data does not have a certification standard and verification that they have to obtain before going operational. Even a restaurant kitchen has that.

On that note, I'd say that there should be a severity grading for the data items. Even Eggs have a grading system. Our personal data is a tad more valuable.
Not OP, not Iranian, but going by my Iranian friend, it's mostly as follows:

- odd that you're asking an Iranian Qn#1. They don't know either

- Iran wants to play a regional power in the Middle East, far greater than it is now. It is to be noted that many countries in the ME, such as the UAE, Qatar, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain have significant Shia minorities or majorities in some cases. When the Arab Spring happened, Iran actively encouraged protests within the Shia population to overthrow the monarchy in Bahrain, until the UAE and Saudi Arabia reacted. Even now, the UAE regularly arrests Shia folks it suspects of cavorting with Iran (a large part of the Arab population in the Emirates are descended from Persia). Not to mention, Iran invaded and expelled the local Arab population of a tiny island of one of the constituent Emirates of the UAE, before the country's formation and during the time of the Shah. Iran is quite the expansionist.

- basically what Rouhani thinks. Wait until Biden gets into power, and hope that he's going to continue the Obama policy. This is not common among all dictators though - some want Trump to be in power, like the monarchs of the Arab states, since he's an Iran hawk.

- a solution to Iran's repressive regime, duh. Iranians have been immigrating en masse for a long time to the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Anywhere there is a democracy. There are a ton of Americans, British, Europeans and Canadians who graduated from Sharif University of Technology, the equivalent of Iran's MIT.

- not just term limits, but the need to "pander" to their constituencies. One decade, they warred in the Middle East, the next decade they want to leave the mess they created, but then commit more troops (Obama on Iraq)? It's definitely not like Russia or China or India (all of which are/were friendly with Iran) who have had a steady policy in the region of being on talking terms with everyone.

Definitely have to say a pair of blue light glasses. I have a terrible habit of reading articles or watching videos on my phone before bed. Not to mention the fact that I'm looking at screens all day anyways.

These glasses have dramatically reduced strain on my eyes and improved my sleep.
Related complaint, the standard library taking structs as input is kind of annoying. I'm specifically thinking of net.Dialer having a net.Resolver, where that's a struct and not an interface, so it's difficult to sub in custom logic there (but still possible, at least, with some contortions).

Single-binary deployment and (these days) good dependency tracking (downloading multiple versions of a library) is great; I don't worry about trying to get somebody else's source code built I do the way when I get python packages. The python side is largely because setting up a venv is error-prone (at least, for me, somehow) and leaky. I still think having the version baked into the import path is kind of dumb, but I suspect that's really just because the documentation failed to explain the reasoning and good workflows (I understand just changing the path in go.mod may be enough).

I wish they had things like generics, but I fear that an incompatible version break would cause too much strife, much in the same way of python 3 / perl 6. Given how the vendoring tools story went, I'm not yet confident the core team can manage the community very well.

On the positive side, the error handling has been decent for me so far; an error interface is easy to understand, compared to rust (where I think you can use Box<dyn Error> but they don't actually say that in the basic documentation). I also like the decently sized standard library, again in comparison to rust where things are too minimal. I think ruby has a decent compromise, where the standard library is (mostly) also available as downloadable packages if you need a newer version. Somehow I've had worse experience with ruby gems compared to go modules, though; I think that's because the bundler documentation is rather bad — it feels more like an essay rather than a reference.

Not having a central repository of packages is a definite plus in my book for go; it leads to less of a problem with people taking the good package names (since most names are bad anyway). Less worries about cutely named libraries like devise (ruby, for auth) or hyper (rust, HTTP). IMHO, libraries should be plainly named, apps can have weird names if they want.
You are overlooking a jump that seems obvious to me and I have not seen anyone address before: if government intelligence agencies go to great lengths to spy on the world's internet traffic, why wouldn't they run, and promote, the top VPN companies themselves?

Therefore, shouldn't we expect at least some of the largest, cheapest, and most widely promoted VPNs to be secretly run by intelligence agencies?
> Would I be more productive with fancy-pansy code completion? Probably a little bit. But having a simple, agnostic, portable and stable development environment is well worth the trade-off IMO.

I'd say historically this was less of a concern, but 10-100kloc codebases are becoming pretty common. More powerful uCs with more flash/ram, heterogeneous cores, etc are allowing very complex embedded projects to exist. I'd say fancy IDE features start to help in these cases.
"There is a narrative being pushed very hard currently that differences in outcome between groups automatically implies discrimination, and fundamentally it's hard to argue with that logic unless you're able to accept that there are just innate differences between people and groups that cause them to have different abilities and make different choices."

Perhaps, but that is mostly due to the historical fact that differences in outcome between groups have been caused by discrimination and "innate differences between people and groups" has been the primary argument in favor of such discrimination---with the "differences" being significantly bogus.

As a result, suggestions that the current status quo[1] is right and just on a scientific basis begin to smell of extraordinary claims that require extraordinary evidence.

Don't get me wrong, but historically and, as far as I've seen, current IQ-related policy suggestions seem to come down to that. If IQ research were to determine that Aboriginal Australians had a median IQ of 160, I rather suspect the whole issue would disappear overnight.
There's more to it - X.Org is based on lowest-common-denominator code from early days of X11, and the internal driver system despite upgrades is a bit lacking.

There's glamor, but AFAIK it's not as tested as it should, and is still shoehorned into old model.

An example of not following the old model is Xsgi, which was (hw) compositing and quite ingenious in many ways.
Serious question: Why does each level in the page directory get its own name, instead of just being the N'th directory?

I'm kinda annoyed this is the case before the GBM/EGLStreams argument got resolved...

I've done some programming against GBM directly (wanted an OpenGL ES application to be in a "kiosk mode," didn't want to have to install X / a Wayland compositor + configure it), and the whole DRM+GBM stack is kinda _terrible_. Generously, one could call it barely documented; the majority of the useful and correct documentation I found was on Mesa contributors' blogs, and there were still edge cases in the API that were getting ironed out in the 5.9 kernel release.

I haven't needed to write against EGLStreams, but I might give it a try to see if it's as much of a pain or not; from the 1-page overview on the nvidia docs, I suspect not -- it sounds quite similar to the VK_KHR_swapchain extension.
