The diagnoses is most of the time not that easy. I was diagnosed really early with 16 after a suicide attempt with 13. I was diagnosed with MDD and ADHD at the time and the SSRI and amphetamines stimmed me right into my first manic episode with psychosis. If you are BP 1 and have psychosis while in a manic episode the diagnosis comes pretty fast. If you are BP 2 the diagnosis can be a lot harder because most of the time when people come out of a depressive episode they just feel "normal" before spiraling and getting erratic when in hypomania.

Fully agree with you, and exactly what I've decided to do this year! I want to read lots of non-fiction books and create similar long-form summaries.

My goal is to explore new ideas, expand my second brain, and share the learnings with my audience.
What an utterly retarded opinion.
This is a genuine question, and I apologize in advance if this ever comes across as ableist. Would you still have taken the job knowing that your vision issues might (hypothetically) endanger yourself and others in the line of work?

This is the question I have been asking since I watched the movie GATTACA. Without spoiling it for anybody who has not seen it, the movie depicts a predicament somewhat similar to your situation. In the end, the hero was able to emerge triumphant and achieve his life goal through plenty of perseverance plus some deception on the side. The film is hailed as seminal critique against ableism and eugenics among other things. However I could never shake the feeling that the story put the hero in a position way above his physical capability and it is very likely going to end in disaster for everyone involved. I really want to agree with the message of the film, but the plot only seems to undermine it.

In a more relatable example, is there any justification in revoking drivers license for senior citizens on the basis that they much more likely to cause accidents, whilst knowing that their quality of life will suffer greatly as a result? This question affects me personally in some way and I still have no good answer for it.

Try the API playground[1] on the authors site. Its takes more than 1 secs for me to get a preflight response back.

The preflight request hits fastly and aws apigateway and maybe the application well. There are lot of options to solve the problem at fastly and apigateway as I mention in another comment[2].

I am not sufficiently convinced of the benefits of the existing system to fight for it, so I am ok with some experiments. Should they really replace the status quo, then only because they have proven to be superior. If not, then probably other experiments are needed, because one thing is obvious to me: the existing system has terrible issues that we should try to solve.
Painfully obvious from looking at America from the outside.

Honestly, everyone should read this article about cultural appropriation[0]. I don't really know if emulating AAVE is "cultural appropriation" unless it's used to cheapen or degrade people, particularly black people you come in contact with, as you say is your intent.

I feel like that's a lot easier, the copying this or that saying isn't really an issue, it's more of respecting people right? That's easily a universal good that isn't hard to understand and gets directly to the underlying issue rather than surface level prescriptions for behavior (don't copy this language, etc).

White is good because it's the colour of natural light. Black is bad because it's the colour of darkness, which is dangerous because you can't see. Children are afraid of the dark.

The fact that people's skin colour is sometimes described as white or black is a coincidence that doesn't relate to the origin of the word blacklist.

If people are offended by coincidences like this, it means that we won't be able to speak Spanish, Russian or Chinese. The Russian word for black (as in a black person) is negr; but note that this is not considered offensive in Russian.
Cool I didn't know that, thanks!

Good writing is utilitarian. Boring but it serves the purpose of communication.

Great writing is much more. It communicates and entertains. Here are 2 of my favorites relating to computerz:

Although I do agree the advice does make sense for most of us, who just aren't very good at writing. But if you do have the skill to write well, do it! I love great writing and love people who aspire to it, even if they fail! Everything you do does not have to be packaged up to maximize mass appeal and resume points.
I was able to garner some karma in 2021, but being in a Far East timezone seems to be disadvantageous. Basically, much activity appears to happen while North America wakes up in the morning, which is when I am already asleep.

Sometimes I break my vow of online detoxing before sleeping; when I find trending topics related to my domain of knowledge, I frantically respond before the comment section gets too crowded. On the other hand, I can think through more diligently during my noontime, but my effort towards quality commenting is not met by karma from otherwise asleep HNers. It seems like reaping karma is not just about knowing the subject well, but being in the right place at the right time(zone).
I used to interview for a big company, and I could tell some candidates already knew the questions, but I'm a bad interviewer myself as I tend to rate most candidates as 7+/10, I very rarely found coding-illiterate candidates.

When I detected the candidate knew the questions, I'd switch order, introduce new questions I didn't usually ask.

The interview we did was quite extensive on the java basics and if the candidate somehow managed to learn all that stuff by knowing the questions, that was a pretty good sign anyway.

It was just this one time I found a candidate who aced every question I asked, even OOP, Design Patterns, I made up on the spot a code-design challenge, the guy suddenly was not so brilliant, but still managed to hold his own and I didn't penalize him for my impression that he knew the questions, he was way better than the usual candidate anyway.

Perhaps the stakes were not so high as in the USA, but I can say I've never found someone who would have failed without knowing the questions in advance; I did fail people who were trying to cheat on the phone interview, but those were rare cases.

My impression is technical interviews just filter programming-illiterate programmers and people who don't give a f#ck -- as a general rule.
There's also the 30% of cases where the interview is made up to show the candidate he's not really all that senior as he thinks and to lowball his salary request.
And some companies have very high technical interview standards because of some cultural inferiority complex (we are just like Google, you see...).
In the first place this is in a experimental state. Currently theres only on layout type implemented. Exactly like you said its the "divide by pictures" layout.

A not so gentle intro to web3
Apparently not:

"Gauss himself apparently coined the term with reference to the "normal equations" involved in its applications, with normal having its technical meaning of orthogonal rather than "usual"." (Wikipedia)

The interpretation of "normal" to mean "common" came later, and even then refers to the distribution itself being "the norm" rather than the distribution being about comparisons to a hypothetical "normal" object.
Setting aside all the other evidence for and against the lab-leak hypothesis, I gotta argue with your numbers. Humans are not randomly distributed over the land-surface of the earth. Neither are virology labs. The first known starting point of a disease outbreak will almost definitely be in a densely populated area, since that's basically a requirement for an outbreak. So taking that into account we have to correlate densely populated areas with BSL4 labs. For a back-of-the-envelope estimate, let's use the assumption:

> "About 90% of the earth’s people live on only 10% of the land."

And let's assume that all of those 59 labs are in that 10% as well.

I'm sure it's actually smaller than that - since not all of that 10% of the land has enough density to be the epicenter of an outbreak, but... let's roll with that 10%

That'd put you off by a factor of 10.

14^2 * pi * 59 = 36,329 km2
148,326,000 * 10% = 14,832,600

36,329 / 14,832,600 = 0.00245 aka 0.2%

On top of that there have been multiple tries at this - in recent memory we've seen SARS classic, Covid-19, MERS-CoV, and Swine Flu. That's four chances at a target at least as big as 0.2%.

My probabilities are rusty, but I believe that's 99.8% * 99.8% * 99.8% * 99.8% = 99.2% chance of none of those appearing near a lab or an 0.8% chance it was near a lab. If we take that into account, it starts to seem a bit more likely that we'd see something like this...

And let's not even touch the > 1300 BLS3 labs that are out there.
Hmm, I feel the same :s

For me it's a sign that I need to change something at work, I often flee here because I am making powerpoints, I'd never do it so much if I was writing code more often. At least, that is what I believe.

HN does give me back a lot though: Being understood, by like minded people, confirmation of my opinions that are just too different from my group of friends (none have ever for example installed Linux, or tried to run their own cloud services). I feel at home here. It could be called addiction, it's also just finding a community where you can express thoughts you can't express anywhere else, and expect to have interactions based on those thoughts. I've often changed my mind or apologized for being a dick here, I don't want to be banned but I want to validate and invalidate my believes and it works for me, I hope I provide value for others as well. Maybe I have an HN shaped hole in my heart?

There are different forms of Bipolar the most publicly known form is BP1 with Psychosis or what people call the manic component. People with BP2 (they never get really manic or get psychosis) have episodes that are called Hypomania which are debilitating for some even more than manic episodes. Here is a nice chart at how these hypomania episodes feel. https://imgur.com/a/9d0MrnD
This list is ranked by number of comments though, not by karma.
How could you spend the several minutes to type that comment when it could have been used to crusade against future lab leaks instead of preemptively denigrating hypothetical anti lab leak comments?

Hint for those who didn't fall for cloud behemoths vendor lock. Deploying your app to plain VPS you still need a reverse proxy like nginx to handle raw requests and terminate TLS. So it is natural to let it do the routing part too.
I think the problem is that the real application of Bayes theorem is to convert P(A|B) to P(B|A), and the visualisation doesn't map well that. You have

P(B|A)P(A)
P(A|B) = -------------
P(B)

But there is nothing in the visualisation that helps you see what those ratios are ... even less so what it might mean to multiply P(B|A) and P(A).
You can easily make an executable from a tcl script using Freewrap.

Even with Tk, the overhead is just 8MB.

So distributing a Windows executable with GUI is quite practical. You don't require your user to have anything else installed.
I know this is considered a bad practice - but how is it worse than downloading it first and then running it? It's only better if someone is going to inspect the script before running it and how many people actually do that? Or will do it if they were forced to?

> Every person on Earth, using their country's Unique Identifier credentials

what about people in countries which don't issue "Unique Identifier credentials"; noting the limitations on the Social Security Number in the US, which was given as the first example?

I live in a country which has a large number of expats. I know multiple people who have 4 or more government issued "unique identifier credentials"

Note: I suspect goobergoo's post has a high level of sarcasm; my reply is a criticism of META not of the post.
Yes. And American immigrant communities in other countries. The size and formality will generally correlate with the size of the immigrant community. From real-world social networks to Facebook groups to dedicated sites and forums.
>The huge investments themselves are something founders would dislike, if they realized how damaging they can be. VCs don't invest $x million because that's the amount you need, but because that's the amount the structure of their business requires them to invest.

It is a pity that the whole essay does not go a bit deeper and explain what are these business requirements here. Imho the main reason VCs (and angels too - if they are not from the 'family and friends' group) want bigger investments is to align the founder and the investor incentives. VCs want a binary option - big success or total failure and want to eliminate the third option of 'life style business' - that is a perpetual small business. In a 'life style business' there are too many avenues for continuously extracting small amounts of value from it so making it a fair game would require too much control from the investors.

> Which was, frankly, shocking to see coming from Scientific American, something I had assumed was a respectable scholarly publication

TBF SciAm has been popsci since the 50s (before that it was mostly about new patents apparently, the original styling was "The Advocate of Industry and Enterprise" and the "Journal of Mechanical and other Improvements").

It's never been a scholarly publication per se, though it used to be pretty respectable in the sense that reading sciam is what you'd do if you were well-read middle-class and weren't going to read the papers and reports straight but wanted to keep abreast of the major stuff. The "level of depth" so to speak has varied a lot since it switched to popsci. But the recent years are some pretty damn shallow levels.
I was turned down for a bunch of apartments because of my race, but that wasn't racist because it's impossible to be racist against white people.
Well, yes. Wuhan is the largest city in central China which is why there is a large science lab there, and one that studies viruses in bats in caves in the sand province. But that's the same reason- that it is a large urban hub for the region- that there is significant amount of wildlife trade and The population densities to foster a pandemic arising from a zoonotic spillover. No coincidence need be invoked.

It means you only needed a 2 week vacation to get your mind rested, and now that you are ready to have a fun time off, you can't due to COVID. I don't think there is anything odd about that in any way.
We did get the test for it for my two; can't recall if we did any extra ones. Believe we skipped them, at least on the 2nd.

I've come around to maybe change my mind since then, however I'd need to be in a very good position to be able to be up to the task.

I truly wouldn't have been, the ASD diagnosis was hard enough - and made magnitudes harder due to the manipulations of the "autism industry". Do this, do that, or else - you only have one chance for an early intervention, so better throw your own life away or you'll be a bad, bad parent.
As a brown boy in the post-9/11 bible belt, I've was subjected to bullying (including physical violence) as well as racial profiling for my race.

I was also discriminated against in university admissions because somehow my race makes me privileged and/or non-diverse when it comes to academics in the US.
Superficially yes, but I think modern anti-racism is basically classism: a tool privileged whites use to shame and dominate lower classes, and to signal and fight status wars between them.

Which is also why accusation of "privilege" more often than not comes from whites (and a smaller assortment of careerists in activism, journalism, and academia) themselves actually privileged career/money/status-wise, and is non-ironically directed towards people less privileged that them!

Then again, old-style racism was basically classism too: a way justify keeping blacks as slaves or, after the civil war, as cheap laborers. It's only after blacks became integrated that racism became an ideology apart from serving an active function of maintaining privilege (and by then, the ideology was shared with far fewer, the kind of "white power" scum that are quite rare statistically speaking).
