> “If you could pinpoint a mechanism which is underlying the subjective evaluation of reward and cost, and use a modern technique that could manipulate it, either psychiatrically or with biofeedback, patients may be able to activate their circuits correctly,” Friedman says.

In my experience there tends to be someone, somewhere, who figured this out a long time ago and is doing some action that manipulates this mechanism, but because it's cloaked in archaic or (at least quasi) religious language it will be dismissed and we'll have to put up with years of scientists fumbling around to recreate it. Mindfulness meditation is probably the latest example.

Alternative interpretation: O&G Company was planning to get their plan in order first for how they would drill the area, then figure out how to convince the residents to support the project.

By flipping the script, and revealing the information early they gave the residents more power to push back against the project or expect more equitable compensation.
It's a huge problem for sensors and connectors too. Both can be subject to physical constraints, like "the temperature sensor needs to be located away from components that generate heat" or "this connector goes on the back".
>Yoga, if practiced responsibly, seems to be a reasonably effective form of stretching and exercise. There is insufficient evidence, however, to conclude that it is any superior to any other form of exercise of the same duration and intensity. There are concerns about the safety of yoga, as it often involves extreme stretching or poses that the average person might find not only difficult but physically harmful. I would therefore recommend caution before starting a yoga routine. If you have any physical limitations or medical conditions, consult your physician and consider a physical therapy assessment first. Find an instructor who seems reasonable and evidence-based. And do not feel pressured to try poses that are painful or seem to push you beyond reasonable physical limits.

I've taken many classes with many instructors, and I can't remember a single one where one of the first things out of the instructor's mouth wasn't, "listen to your body, do what feels right, don't keep doing it if it hurts". It's probably happened, but it's rare.

Most will repeat this throughout the class just to remind people to not chase something they are not ready for.

> Further – all of the mystical and pseudoscientific woo that often accompanies yoga is counterproductive. It may be useful for marketing to the gullible, but it taints the entire practice with pseudoscience. I would also find it difficult to trust in the competence of an instructor who thinks a yoga pose will squeeze toxins out of my liver.

I think this article reveals a lack of understanding of yoga, because it writes off entire portions of of a practice developed over thousands of years of continuous improvement because it goes against their narrow worldview.

And if you actually look, there are plenty of papers showing evidence that the practice works, and that there is more to it than just stretching.

Yogic stretching is by far the most effective I have experienced compared to ballet, contemporary dance, martial arts, sports, and western gym classes. It really is designed to stretch every single muscle you've got, some that western medicine does not even know about yet. Most movement classes now incorporate elements of yoga.

The breathing techniques are also a lot more than just improving oxygen flow.

Same goes for the mental techniques, also developed over thousands of years of practice and improvement by people who dedicate their life to it.

And together, they combine to a holistic "maintenance cycle", as I like to call it, for the human body.

To write off parts of it just because they don't fit into a completely different worldview framework comes off as foolish and closed-minded to me.

> while that's very evident in this case this is actually what CoCs or written rules in general are for. Of course when you don't have a committee or a CoC however is in charge can still treat people arbitrarily, in fact much more so than when you actually have agreed on conduct and have a process to resolve things.

> There's a good piece called the Tyranny of Structurelessness about radical feminist movements, where wanting to ditch all formal rules actually lead to even worse informal treatment, because officially leaders don't even exist, so there's nobody to blame.

I actually think it's the opposite: codes and committees make the structurelessness worse. The code creates the illusion that the rules are impartial and their application is a detail. The (usually secret) committee diffuses responsibility so that no-one's actually accountable for their decisions. It gives the veneer of process and objectivity when actually there's nothing of the sort.

Formalising the process - who makes the decisions, on what grounds, with what oversight - is important. Formalising the code without a good process is putting the cart before the horse.

>You go after the terrorist organization. Not people who aren’t terrorists. Don’t paint the Uighurs as terrorists.

Nobody is painting a race as terrorists. You're exaggerating. It's quite obvious I'm not doing that. But what is real is that these terrorists are part of the Uighur race, so the Chinese will exclusively target the race. Their actions segregate by race but at the same time is a logical course of action. The US has done the same. Do you search for muslim terrorists among people of the japanese race or of the middle eastern race? Think logically. To be people led astray by bias such actions are racist but logically the probabilities are real: A middle eastern man is far more likely to be a terrorist then a Japanese man. If you are incapable of thinking about this concept logically then I suggest you go to another forum that fits your tastes.

>How is this a question? “They attacked China with knifes, isn’t China in the right for erasing them out of existence?”

This isn't a question about rights. It's a question about safety. It's more like among the Uighurs there are people with knives that can attack any moment. These people can attack and kill members of my family at any time. I don't know who they are but I do know that they exists and that they are of the Uighur race even though not all Uighurs are terrorists. What do I do to protect my life and the life of Chinese society right now? I have little time to act before the next attack slaughters hundreds. Likely to prevent another massacre I have to act quickly and prevent

That is the true scope and complexity of this question.

>This is the worst argument I have seen on Hacker News.

I feel hacker news is too intelligent for one track minds who can't comprehend the magnitude of the situation from multiple angles. To you the world is black and white: China is only a evil country out to stamp out the Uighur race and that is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

How about China is a multifaceted complex country that has complex rationale behind every action it takes. Just like how a typical human being isn't purely a good guy or a bad guy China is the same shade of grey. Every action it takes has a cost and a benefit, and every action has a better one that could've been taken in retrospect.

If you can't see deeper into the situation and you only have this one track attitude then yeah I can see how this is the worst argument you've ever seen in your life.

> The solution to low karma — if, indeed, you care about such things, is to make productive comments.

Fwiw my most upvoted comments are typically my lowest effort comments. Typically either low effort "me too" type confirmations or sarcastic quips that happened to be in favor of whoever was browsing the thread. [What I beleive to be] my more productive, thoughtful, on topic comments tend to mostly get ignored. This has been the case everytime I've tried to use this site. I beleive the the best way to get karma is a mix of proper timing / estimating what the popular opinion / point / etc. will be in a given thread.

As described, they didn't follow the procedures as written, nor did they follow through on the procedure as suggested in their early communications.

They didn't seem to have a problem with deviating from their code of conduct.

Different areas of expertise, a computer’s doesn’t get bored, drunk, or text people while driving. Safety is just about not crashing, actually getting somewhere is a different story.

In some ways having a human take over in difficult conditions is stacking the deck, but computers are also taking over in an crash to slow down before impact and people are adjusting how much autopilot speeds. So, it’s kind of a grey area, but at a minimum we know autopilot isn’t dramatically worse than humans.
It can be automated if your requirements are limited and your expectations are low. I think that's the approach SparkFun are taking here -- aside from power, the only connections needed are between the components and the microcontroller, so placement is kind of arbitrary, and they leave themselves enough room that even a terrible autorouting job will work.
You don't even need to use the upgrade tool. Windows 10 clean installs from the iso will let you manually input the Windows 7 key you already possess and the activation server will accept it. The 7 key is whitelisted only for 10. It will not work for 8.
I think my boss is a VP with 5 people, including myself, under him. I do covet his role. I'm not sure what the "something different" you are referring to might be, but I'm going to assume it's his role.

To answer the top-line question: my boss is one of the smartest people I know. I disagree with some of his decisions. He's made some mistakes, including what I think was a huge one today. But he's super super smart.

Your title question and the question in your description are conflating intelligence with title. You don't need a super intelligent person to be VP. You just need someone with, to quote Liam Neeson, a particular set of skills. You can be the smartest person in the world, but with no experience, you probably won't be a good VP. There's a set of skills good VPs have that aren't borne of intellect but of experience and the passage of time.

Is my boss smarter than I? I'm not sure. I'd probably say yes; he'd probably disagree.

Do I think I can do my boss's job? Absolutely. I can certainly take his job, and if something were to happen to him, I'm certain I'd be a top contender for his position. But even as I think my boss and I are probably on an even playing field when it comes to intelligence, he has experience and time on his side... so while I could certainly see myself doing his job, it would be quite some time before I'd be able to do it as well as he.

How the HotSpot and Graal JVMs Execute Java Code
The Linux kernel actually does allow executing non-ELF executables, via the binfmt_misc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binfmt_misc) mechanism.

My favourite use for this feature is via `qemu-user-static`, which allows you to transparently "run" executables compiled for other architectures thanks to QEMU emulation. Very handy for embedded systems development.

Yes of course but in this case you're just wrong. This is a very well documented pattern of behavior at this point.

I thought there's also a selection effect at play.

People who get to be successful in life and live a good old age (you tend not to talk to or see the opposite) -- with all those years of experience behind them, they start to think that the traits and opinions that got them there are probably correct.

And that radically different or new things that they might benefit from learning, probably in their mind aren't going to be more successful (or of much potential benefit) than what worked for them already.

There's basically a full slate of things that made them successful. And that's not a bad thing! People couldn't survive so well without a sense of what good things worked for you.

But I think as you get older (unless you're exceptionally alert and open-minded), this confirmation bias of your own success starts to close your mind off to new, different thoughts and pathways. Unless you actively make it a point of erasing and making space for new ideas, you fall back on the old and don't seek out the new to fill your mind.

You're indeed right. Though, I'm not sure how you disentangle effects from shifts in public policy and legal frameworks over that entire time span. My guess is: people died -> loved ones were upset -> political and commercial pressure mounted -> improvements were made.

It might be that commercial interests often align with public safety and perception, but I bet that on the lower-end of the price spectrum, people would be willing to buy cars that endangered themselves and others. If only for lack of options.

> A "critique" that seems to have never really "worked yet" or burned itself out every time?

You've probably been duped by Leninist propaganda into mistaking Leninism and its descendants for Marxism (and, moreover, apparently the sole actual Marxism.) Leninism is, at best, a radical revision of Marxism in a attempt to erase the prerequisite for a developed capitalist economy with broad working class class consciousness.

The actual place Marxism, and not radical revisions like Leninism and its descendants, has had an effect is throughout the advanced Western states where capitalism -- the late-19th Century system critiqued by Marx -- was universally dominant, where it formed the core energizing various movements against that system, including particularly the labor movements, resulting in the replacement of the capitalist system Marx critiqued and the emergence and then dominance of the modern mixed economy, which while certainly not the end-state Marxism was directed at is clearly comprised of steps in the direction Marx called for.
News is totally fucked. Look at how most media reported on James Damore being fired from Google, and what they quoted him as having saying, vs what he actually said (1).

According to the media, Damore called women "neurotic" and said they were "biologically unfit to be software engineers". Nothing close whatsoever to what was actually said (1).

Meanwhile there are university professors willing to defend the memo (2). For example, "For what it’s worth, I think that almost all of the Google memo’s empirical claims are scientifically accurate. Moreover, they are stated quite carefully and dispassionately. Its key claims about sex differences are especially well-supported by large volumes of research across species, cultures, and history." (Geoffrey Miller, evolutionary psychology professor at University of New Mexico)

C++ code as written can be succint but the spec to describe what the code does can be really verbose.

So - verbose in terms of the spec which describes what the code actually does and mental chatter I have to do with myself when writing it "should I return a ref or a smart_ptr or a value or should I use move semantics..." whereas in F# it's just a ref and garbage collector will deal with it. So I can skip the mental chatter part.

For one thing, lack of demand. Linux distributions can relatively easily ship different packages for different architectures, and doing so is more space-efficient. It seems to me like shipping multiple binaries within a package is mostly useful for the distribution of proprietary software, and even in that case, it isn't that hard to ship two binaries and a shell script.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the naïve to figure out bureaucracy, agreements and rules are a means of subduing their polity. Good enough for government work, but the operating principle is the same even for private organizations. Put a process in place, sprinkle some pretty words around to get people to agree that this undoubtedly good and just and will not be abused, and the people who are better at politics than you are will leverage that process to unjust means, and your best hope is that you’re not the one in the line of fire.
