Yes, definitely.
I could afford paying 50% tax on flights. Most people in the world could not pay 50% more for their transportation.

The problem with a carbon tax is that it values all emissions equally. But on a global scale, some emissions are more essential than others. (Food, shelter, transportation to work etc)
See my original comment: proving natural immunity requires money, the testing is slow, and it's still less good than simply also getting the shot. And even with natural immunity, it's only somewhat better in some cases as shown by a small number of studies. OR logic is not subtractive to the social and political problem, it's additive.

Why is it absurd to believe in natural immunity and still hold folks accountable for using the zero-cost, (virtually) zero risk option?

Depression is the result of an overactive amygdala and has little to do with goal achievement. That can be caused by genetics and/or a wide gamut of environmental and experiential inputs over time. I would think the goal of any intervention is to help people lead more fulfilling lives and prevent self-harm rather than to create a compliant workforce.

Think of all of the people who were born like that. Think of the people who had intensely traumatic experiences at a young age such that their systems grew abnormally. Ascribing a lack of self-discipline to those and many others who face that awful affliction is both arrogant and ignorant.
I think you should have control of hacker news and personally curate articles. Everyone is trying to fool everyone else, high morality people like you are rare.
Wouldn't there be exactly twice (or twice + 1, if you allow negative fractions) as much fractions, since fractions are represented as two positive numbers (plus a bit if you consider the sign).

(The encoding could be "represent both numbers in binary, put the denominator in the odd bits (LSB = first bit), and the numerator in the even bits" so 2/3 => 10/11 => 1110 => 14)

You're right, but depression is so tricky. It can help to treat the symptoms short term, which can enable you to treat the root cause long term.

It makes more sense if you think of the polariser sheets as fences with vertical bars, and light like a string going through between two bars and being wiggled.

If the direction of the waves in the string are at right-angles to the slit, the wave can't propagate through the bars.

If the wave is at an angle, then some of the wave gets through, with a maximum of 100% when the wave wiggles up and down in the same direction as the slit.

In this model you can visualise how three 45-degree slits will allow some light to go through even though two 90 degree slits don't -- the light is transformed by its passage through the polarisers.

Where QM people get themselves confused is that they assume that the light is not transformed, even though it clearly is...

I.e.: If the polarisers didn't rotate the angle of the light waves, then successive aligned polarisers would result in very close to 0 light making it through, but this is not what happens. (Excluding losses due to non-polariser-related effects)

All of this goes back to a fundamental confusion between two possibilities:

1) Is it the EM field in free space that is quantised?

OR

2) Is it just the interactions of the EM field with matter that are quantised?

If you actually run the experiments to check which one, it turns out that (2) is true, but most QM people think (1) is true because most of the time they're indistinguishable.

See this video for such an experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDtAh9IwG-I

Did your problems get solved by eliminating certain foods and if so, how did you go about narrowing down the culprits?

One problem with depression, as mentioned in the article, is that it's hard to define exactly what the problem is (there's no "depression center" in the brain) which means treating the symptoms is often the only option.

The statement that made it really clear to me was facebook has moderators for 50 languages... while supporting 111 different languages [1]. It's wildly irresponsible to offer services in a language you can't moderate in.

And it's sure seems an intentional part of their fig leaf denial strategy -- viz the recent revelations about human trafficking on fb in arabic [2]. Or armed groups in Ethiopia inciting violence on FB in ways that fb chooses not to monitor because of language issues [2].

A company with 21Q2 revenues of $28.5B can't hire moderators in languages spoken in countries with low costs of living... It reflects a thirst for growth with no thought given to the people affected by their growth.

Not who you're replying to, nor an expert in the field, but yeah. This is at most an exploratory experiment that requires replication.

The fact that no rat behavior change was reported until the 3 week mark heavily suggests external factors; hardly a cumulative effect as any long exposure effect would display.

Moreover an interesting paragraph:

> The average rectal temperatures of rat were observed to be 33.71±0.56 (control), 35.3±0.63 (EMR-900 MHz), 35.48±0.67 (EMR-1800 MHz) and 36.96±0.55 (EMR-2450 MHz) before and 33.91±0.82 (control), 35.5±0.51 (EMR-900 MHz), 35.66±0.60 (EMR-1800 MHz) and 37±0.78 (EMR-2450 MHz).

Seems to indicate the 2450 MHz rats were ill or otherwise stressed (rat body temperature hovers around 35.5, though it can increase at night), but no verification or mention is done on this whatsoever. I honestly believe many of effects described in the paper can be explained with the body temperature differential.

Also worth mentioning:

> The animals after being exposed to 900, 1800 and 2450 MHz EMR, the average power density was found to be 0.1227 W/m2. While the overall value of whole body average SAR was found to be approximately, 0.0227, 0.030 and 0.0616 W/kg.

Again not my field but I doubt 120mW/m2 can result in 50% absorption (61.6mW) per kg of rat. That means 2 kg of rats would absorb 100% of the radiation, while obviously not covering a full square meter. Please correct me if I misunderstood something.

I'm not saying that 2.4GHz radiation has no ill effects, there's tons of research on rats since the inception of the microwave, but it generally show changes at higher (and certainly more clear) SAR levels.

You have to have enough of a food shortage to get your body to shift into more autophagy/catabolism. It doesn't really matter how often you eat as long as you can generate that shortage.

Yes that is one very narrow and specific cause of the symptoms of depression. but it is by no means the only thing that causes depression in humans.

but the implication that attempting to treat depression without solving the external underlying cause perpetuates the negative stigma around depression treatment and makes it harder for people to consider and accept treatment. Which has been shown over and over and over and over and over again to be required for people with severe depression to be able to take any action to improve their life.

Even that's only including the people who are depressed from some external cause that they can take action on. loss of a loved one is something that causes depression and if left untreated can spiral down into a state of despair that people are unable to dig themselves back out of alone.

I guess those people should just be happy right?

Using a treatment like this without therapy would be as negligent (even more, actually) as treating a depression patient with drugs only.

In order to treat causes of depression successfully in the long term, it can be incredibly helpful to dampen the symptoms short term.
Your goals are wildly inappropriate for Singapore, which is a tiny island that has been extensively developed for centuries, and is considerably wealthier than the US. There is essentially zero primary forest left, unskilled foreign workers are far more oppressed than anything approximating an "indigenous population" (most Malays are immigrants and the odd Orang Laut has long since fully assimilated), and Singapore has one of the most successful public housing schemes in the world with something like 80% of the population owning a modern flat.

I don’t think that’s right. It if the radius of the inner circle is one third the outer, it only rotates twice rolling around the inside, which makes sense as it’s center traces a circle that’s the the difference of the radii.

Imagine the limiting case, as the inner circle approaches the size of the outer circle - the inner circle completes much less than one rotation per lap around the inside edge of the outer circle, and ‘seizes’ (if we’re imagining these as gears), completing zero rotations per lap when the circles are the same size. However, rolling around the outside, a circle of the same size completes two rotations.

In general the problem is like the old Spirograph toy (which I had to break out to convince myself)

I have done research in the computational healthcare field to try to optimize and make the placement of electrodes easier for surgeons by analyzing spike neuron activity that were recorded during an actual surgery that had place.

The electrodes in DBS by purpose continuously release electric pulses at target locations in the brain. ECT, from my understanding is a short full brain excitation using electric pulses. The location of where the electrodes are places on the outside of the head change what part of the brain is targeted.

This research is a middle ground where they are using the same technology to send short "six second" impulses to a very targeted part of the brain.

I don't agree that this is entirely different from ECT.

Strongly seconding this. For anyone still hesitant, I further recommend the following experiments:

----

Sample a few activities your team has completed. Check how long the 90 % smallest activities are on average, and compare it to the average of the biggest 10 %. Or the median compared to the maximum, or whatever. You'll probably find the difference is about an order of magnitude or less. In the grand scheme of things, every activity is the same size. You can estimate it as exp(mean(log(size)) and be within an order of magnitude almost every time.

Once your team has accepted that something is "an" activity and not a set of activities, don't bother estimating. For all practical intents, size is effectively constant at that point. What matters is flow, not size.

----

For the above sample, also study how long passed between the "go" decision on the task and when it was actually released to customers. In a stable team, this number will be eerily close to the theoretical based on Little's law referenced in the parent comment.

Oh, and you shouldn't focus on man-hours. Work with calendar days. Not only does that simplify mental arithmetic for everyone, it's also the only thing that matters in the end. Your customer couldn't care less that you finished their functionality in "only" 6 man-hours if it took you six weeks to get it through your internal processes.

----

Fun follow-up to the size experiment: now ask someone intimately familiar with your customers to estimate the dollar value of each activity. You might find that while all activities are practically the same size, they'll have very different dollar values. That's what you ought to be estimating.
The base problem isn’t really solveable, and its as much of a public discussion on what we want to do with speech first, before its a question of how we want Social Media firms to act.

In the end, there is no algorithm which can match the scale of bad content, no robust definition of bad content which can work without creating a flood of false positives.

Every false positive is now someone who had something valid to say who is silenced.

no, a Potemkin village is never meant to be real, the parent commenter suggested it was like New Year's resolutions that are meant to be real but in the end people fail because they like their New York cheesecake too much to change.

It was a clear signal from your subconsciousness that you were putting time and effort in something that didn't bring long-term value. If we lived in a pre-corporate era, you could have considered a trade, or helping run a small business, building rapport with the owner, or something else that would have had more meaning. Such things build up character, you sort of gain velocity and habits that help you propel yourself further later in life.

Except we destroyed that with low interest rates and turning a blind eye for anticompetitive behavior. Now most people are replaceable cogs that ran out of goals that would motivate them. That's the real, and very big problem.
