> You wouldn't, for example, look at the physical therapy an amputee receives and go "Physical therapy must be no better than blood letting because amputees still exist!"

And yet, we know the precise cause and details of their situation...

> This is where, for example, SSRIs have come from. It's not random shots in the dark and guesses.

SSRIs were designed with a specific neurotransmitter in mind, but the reason why serotonin can affect what we call "depression" is, as wikipedia puts it, "somewhat uncertain". Only in the last couple of years have theoretical frameworks appeared where we can kind of develop a causal understanding, like in Friston's REBUS paper: https://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/71/3/316

The gist is that, if serotonin modulates high level neurological priors, then SSRIs lead to slightly increased plasticity wrt the environment, which can help people get "unstuck" from previous environmental priors i.e. trauma. But if their current environment is poor, then SSRIs will have no effect or make them worse. If this model is correct, then it necessitates a shift in the etiology of depression, back to the more classical psychoanalytic "epistemic" view (in which "mental illness" is equivalent to unwanted patterns of thought and action, a definition that should feel obvious to anyone who's dealt with their own psychic distress) vs the modern "neurotransmitter" view (i.e. "not enough serotonin = depressed").

The result is that any etiological understanding must include not only the present state of the individual seeking treatment, but also their environmental and historical contexts, i.e. their whole life. This problematizes the metaphor of mental illness, because, as you said, most people think you can treat mental illness like curing an infection, removing some sort of foreign element which resulted in whatever deviation from the "healthy" norm, without realizing it has to be a longer term intervention, because the foreign element is... still you.

Like physical therapy, there's plenty of stretches you can do on your own, and you're also in a unique strong position to evaluate your own environmental and historical context, compared with a therapist who can only know what you tell them (or what they can read between the lines). This is why reflective practices exist, like many religious exercises which give you a new pattern to consider (like on Yom Kippur, you think about your last year in terms of repentance, forgiveness, etc), but also like astrology, which "automatically" produces frames for contemplative reflection. The result of proper reflection is in action, which shifts the agent away from their old repetitive patterns and can actually provide the mythical-seeming cure for their mental illnesses. This form of "treatment" has been rediscovered in many traditions over the years, from Buddhism to Stoicism. It seems to only be in modern western culture where we delegate to experts the responsibility for our own psyches...

Not much, other than our own computer, is really decentralized. Even if something like IPFS was easy to access, a lot of highly decentralized data is fairly worthless because something has to index it, in a centralized place, to make it searchable.

The “paradox” is things may be decentralized, but then finding and using those things in aggregate is hard.
Not disagreeing with organization around frameworks in PHP, but apparently PHP suffered a lot from low barrier, in terms of security especially. That was the time package management wasn't that widespread yet, which IMO limited this kind of stuff. But there were, for sure, many applications where PHP could be blamed for security incidents and general unreliability. PHP improved quite well though.

Now PHP isn't hip anymore, node js is super popular hip thing, and every tom dick and harry from art school in US or 3rd tier engineering college in India will slap together three todo list applications on Resume and wants to call himself full stack developer. Internet is fast, hardware is fast, no one cares about pile of dependencies sitting beneath them.

Add to that resume driven development where every JS wants to write libraries and become github-famous. 30-line libraries will be considered a joke and it will be shameful to brag about such things in any other ecosystem.
I don't think what you are saying holds. For instance, 32k [0] is just where intersection of both .NET frameworkd (Win only) and .NET Core (cross plat). If you want to see in total, this is a rough estimation, 634k APIs [1]. I don't know how much of that is .NET core only.

I see it that way too.

We do not have absolutes to work with here.

The damn Covid is novel, meaning we get our education together, the hard way and that sucks.

And that means being smart about probabilities and potential cost and risk outcomes matters a lot! Doing that is harder than necessary too.

A small investment in proper injection can seriously reduce vaccine risks, for example. That is real news as far as I am concerned and that should be acted on STAT. And you just gotta know the optics on all that complicate and likely bias action away from optimal too.

My own first injection was not done properly. (By that I mean the person doing it did not do a blood vessel check.)

I made sure the second one was done properly.

I very seriously oppose the blanket immunity myself for similar reasons.

The profit drive on this is pretty ugly too, and it is a complicated discussion. Very generally, I must say the problem is global and allowing profit to drive policy is not doing humanity any favors.

There is nothing ironic about it. This document is a fruit of an entire mental framework that divides people into monoliths according to racial characteristics and, at the same time, drips with soft bigotry of low expectations towards half of humanity.

Neither: their proposed design doesn't generate electricity from heat, so what they're talking about here is proving out the alternative mechanism of electricity generation that they propose to use. That's a valuable to demonstrate because it's novel, and necessary to eventually being net-positive, so showing that's possible shows that their eventual plan could work.
I guess it always depends on the person. I get probably on average 8-10 work related phone calls a day and spend 2-3 hours a day on the phone, and have been on call 24/7 for the last 6 months, any little convenience that I can get I will take. I imagine with better work/life balance these things become much less of a big deal but for now I am really glad to have an environment that causes me relatively little hassle.

The best thing you can do is to maintain a good amount of "vital activities". Everything that brings you joy and good feelings overall.

Even though we're dealing with a terminal disease, there's always hope.

Sorry but the "metaverse" is a joke, and I say this as a person who loves VR and is optimistic for its future. VR is just not immersive enough and I don't think even next-gen tech will be good enough. It's not just the hardware but the whole kinaesthetic experience you're not getting just by having your brain tricked into seeing things in three dimensions. Even tiny jumps in latency between frames is enough to completely throw off any immersion, and unfortunately the operating systems we have today like to do tasks in the background at any time which can cause this.

Let's stop fantasising about a Ready Player One world and be realistic about what we can achieve with what we have.
Really sorry about what happened too.

Sure hope he improves and can get past it.
Most protected lefts have sensors so they don't go through that phase if nobody is waiting for it. The sensors are another issue because they don't trigger for bikes and ebikes, but that can be improved.

I think throughput isn't really a huge issue as long as you have a few main arteries (e.g. expressways, freeways) that don't have left turns at all, you will ideally only take the local roads for a couple km at the beginning and end of a trip at most.
The issue though here is around consent pop-ups being found to violate the GDPR. I'm just pointing out that the pop-ups continue to be very complicated for folks to deal with. My understanding is that the cookie set by the consent pop-ups may now be classified as personal data, requiring a data controller, permissions etc. Or am I misunderstanding this latest twist? Shouldn't be hard to fix, but good lord if you are a smaller player.

Just note, politically somehow cookies have become the big privacy boogeyman. Meanwhile personal data is harvested at HUGE scale (cable TV / smart TV/ ISPs etc) at least in the US without consequence. Ripoffs online are insane in quantity without much consequence. Major issues like DoS attacks go unaddressed and more.

And because practically while the EU says ads and analytics are not essential, since for free websites they are in reality pretty essential, there is a lot of natural tension there.

I am bummed about SSO issues now and modal cookie popups particularly on mobile etc.

The other issue privacy folks are missing I think is focusing on this endless consent and reconsent on every website. I've seen data that 95%+ of folks click accept all. So you are delivering a product feature that annoys 95% of your target, it's a losing game.

My own expectation, in long run this compliance overhead will help the mega platforms win out. They are the only ones (youtube / google / microsoft / apple etc) with the scale to really manage the years long investigations, million page doc requests etc. Ie, if you are going to put a video online, you are going to need to put it on youtube if you want anything analytic related to it.

The other side is, vast folks ignore the law and just hope they won't be caught, or do a random (I accept) cookie popup and hope they are covered.

How would forcing new car sales to go through dealerships prevent Tesla from making its parts rare and expensive? Wouldn't all Tesla parts come from Tesla anyways, and just go through the chain Tesla->dealership->consumer, instead of Tesla->consumer?

I do this all the time, sometimes even something as simple as asking the user to write up the request in an email is enough for them to go away forever.

It does make a difference. One of the largest differences is this:

Army Colonial says go over there and draw fire. You go over there and draw fire.

Navy Captain says go over there and draw fire. You and the Captain go over there and draw fire.

Another difference:
Your boat is all by itself a strategic asset that can literally alter the outcome of an entire world war. Every submarine fits this description (even fast attack subs can carry fairly long range nuclear weapons if needed).

So the mission is important, and the people who carry it out treat it that way.
I think HN automatically removes "How" from the beginning of titles, on the basis that it's superfluous or clickbait-y or something.

>Credit scores per se are less a thing in Japan but there are cross-issuer I-can't-believe-its-not-bureaus which have information sharing agreements, the dominant purpose of them being identifying fraudulent actors and account takeovers rather than credit risk (nearly zero in Japan, historically).

Not debating you but a random reddit commenter says a (pseudo) "credit score" in Japan is implementation and semantics. The CIC, Zengin, and JICC organizations' credit histories data functions very similar to a USA credit score.

General purpose won as it was realized monolithic chips that did it all were infeasible due to manufacturing technology in the past.

Overtime the political story about market winners took over, and technology development became mired in MBA bean counting to extract wealth, as it became clear the public would happily consume what was fed them via PC screens like we did TV.

None of these textual objects or CPUs will mean anything in the future. Manufacturing technology will evolve to provide “end to end” computing gadgets, black boxes that need user interface code at most, to contextualizing outputs. We’re subsidizing a process of technical evolution at scale.

Describing this all through the words of contemporary political discourse is missing the point.
Decency works for managing personal behavior on a small scale, with an ultimate check of free association. Commercial surveillance invalidates both the assumption of scale and the ability to opt out.

This doesn't address (much less invalidate) my point. Pain is not an abstract concept.

This distinction (between non-abstract and abstract entities) already becomes blurred when it comes to things like colors. In their case your quip starts to break down - contrary to our intuition, it turns out that you do need the word in order to experience the concept. To some extent at least.

It's been proven that - even though colors exist on physical level - languages (vocabulary) do have an impact on how humans perceive them.

Eg.
"Researchers found that Greek and Russian speakers, who have dedicated words for light and dark blue, were more likely to see a light blue triangle against a dark blue background (and vice versa), than they were to identify green triangles against green backgrounds. Speakers of German, which has no such distinction, were no better at seeing shades of blue triangles than green."
> breaking the rules - not vague "we reserve the right to fuck you in the ass for any reason or no reason at all" kind of bullshit

if Facebook actually had a PR position of "we remove whatever the hell we want" it would be fine, rather they prefer to have nice sounding rules and then interpret them however the hell the want.

Personally I have a similar position towards net neutrality... if my isp wants to degrade connections to torrents and netflix/youtube that is fine, but the have to put it in writing in the contract.
Regarding QObject, you know the difference between identity objects and value objects? QObjects are identity objects. I sometimes see people using them as value objects (bags of data), and that is not what they are for. It's terribly inefficient, for starters.
