My comment from the last time this came up on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29754898

------

A few points, mostly hypothesizing:

1. My understanding is that these videos often talk about very general symptoms, that could be caused by these mental disorders -- but also by a lot of other things.

2. The videos take on an authoritative tone, which does a good job of convincing people (especially kids). I've written about this phenomenon (albeit playing out in written form) on HN before:

> Welcome to the internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> It's not hard to find highly opinionated people making assumptions while confidently believing they're right. If you look closely, you'll notice this all the time on HN and Reddit and basically anywhere that allows people to comment.

> The scary thing is that many readers will also often take anything said confidently enough to be fact. This is also basically how a lot of disinformation works. Say it authoritatively, and you'll become an authority on the matter to many people.

3. The 'nocebo' effect is very real! It's the opposite of a placebo effect, where if you believe you have an illness, your body actually starts showing symptoms.

4. I'd believe that in a lot of cases it's less about a kid consciously thinking "Ooh it's trendy to have this, let me say I do", and more like kids thinking "Oh this seems to be a widespread thing, and I experience these symptoms sometime (I space out! And I have trouble sleeping! And I have a jittery leg! and so on), sure seems like I might have this!"

5. Very important quote from article:

> "If you spend 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes viewing people talk about these disorders over and over again, that can make it seem like these conditions are a lot more prevalent than they actually are in the world,"

Repetition makes it seem like a bigger deal, and makes it stick around in the kids' head. So the next time they space out in the classroom naturally the thought might occur ("Do I have dissociative disorder?").

6. If lots of kids start showing up to doctors' saying they have (for eg) BPD when they don't, it'll be a lot harder for those with actual symptoms to convince doctors of their situation and receive proper medical care, which is very worrying.

______

All this said:

1. I'm just a user of the internet - not a psychologist, nor someone with relevant formal training, so please take my hypotheses as just that -- hypotheses, not fact.

2. I haven't actually watched many of these videos, so if someone has links, please share them! I think a lot of people on HN might like to watch them and analyse what's going on.
I have mixed feeling about Nim. I've tried to learn it few years ago. It was "sold" like a Python replacement, it looks like a Python a bit, but when you write code it feels nothing like python at all.

Few things made me confused a bit

* With objects, when I need to use ref and when not.

nim> type
.... Node = ref object
.... le, ri: Node
.... data: int
....
....
nim> var n = Node(data: 9)
nim> n.data
9 == type int

nim> type
.... NodeO = object
.... lw, ri: ref Node
.... data: int
....
....
nim> var no = NodeO(data: 9)
nim> no.data
9 == type int
nim>

* Two ways to import modules, specifically the C style import. I understand the need for it - applying macros and templates, but that makes Nim very different from big family of "no magic" languages. Ability to change syntax is very powerful and probably a big selling point of the language, but in the same time makes it hard to use Nim as casual language.

That time development/coding wasn't my full time job, Python was the "to go" option of automating some tasks, sometimes Java. In both cases there was no magic in the code - `module.something` easy to track to the origin.

Nim's orientation to standard library is nice. I've started checking Nim when I need a faster alternative for parsing big json and csv (compressed and flat) files. I both cases to was easy to archive, easier than Java (with Java I need to match version and bring dependencies) and the speed was fantastic.

Probably the main reason I haven't continued with Nim, was the company's antivirus at some point started to blocks nimble.exe execution on Windows. Another reason is switching to work into data engineering aria and there is no real need for fast compiled program. IDE support wasn't great too, VScode suggested a lot of irrelevant things, but I think it is kind of broken for any language now (out of box).
> When Ukraine's borders are surrounded by Russian armies and Pro-Russian separatists now.

This is complete nonsense.
> essentially second-hand smoke

Even if we took this as a valid statement on its face, it's also

- A personal safety tool used by vulnerable people to protect themselves, from joggers to the mentally ill

- A way of checking in on one's family member suffering from illness

- Access to information that is contextually important like specific venue masking guidelines

- A means of spending time with family; as long as work knows they can reach you, you are good.

Etc.

I think it's a good idea to ask not only if we still want to be "blame the tool" people, or "blame the people" people, but also whether we want to open up this general context where we enshroud efforts to project values in a casement that looks like generalized blame of device and person both.

IMO we can do better than methods that turn into "see something, shame something" especially when so many details matter.
Although I do think there will be an oversupply "crisis", I think the article is too optimistic about the timing. From what I have read the new foundries will start production in 2024-2025, and I don't see demand going down anytime soon, and that's not to mention some of the backlog that has accumulated. Although I am curious as to how amd and nvidia have been handling this. Do they have stockpiles of chips themselves?

If the default MO of the news media is to stoke fears and sensationalize the mundane in order to profit off higher viewership, then it's all the more important that we fight through the de-sensitization and pay attention when meaningful world events happen.
> Like cash, paying with Bitcoin doesn't make anything illegal legal. But unlike a check, wire transfer, or credit-card payment, there is no intermediary like a bank that might autonomously decide to reverse a transaction.

Unlike cash, but like any other stolen asset, if you unknowingly receive stolen bitcoin, you could still be legally required to return those bitcoins to the original owner.

> But they can't reverse Bitcoin transactions, any more than someone can command cash to fly out of the recipient's pocket and back into their own.

If "they" is a court, they absolutely can command you to take cash out of your pocket or to reverse a transaction you received.

Posting here as a curiosity for others.
I think that progression is not necessary a disqualifier for roguelikes, depending on implementation.

Many games use unlocks essentially as a tutorial, after which there is no metaprogression.

Many games also have unlockable difficulty levels as a form of metaprogression.

Slay falls into both these categories, but I don't think this is a disqualifier. All cards are unlocked after perhaps 20 hours of play, but most players will never have the skill to unlock the highest difficulty levels.
I'm guessing that neither Russia nor Ukraine want a nuclear accident.

Therefore as troops pass the location of each plant, the plant workers will be told to keep operations going. I expect some will end up living in the plant for a few weeks under military guard, but probably nothing worse.

The only bad case is if one side deliberately causes a nuclear accident to try and blame the other side for it.
What is a usian?
Some news of anti-war protests/actions internationally, as well as a statement by “Food Not Bombs” Moscow and an interview with anarchist “Committee of Resistance” in Kyev.

There's a heavy anarchist bias in there, but it shows that the narrative of choosing a side between NATO and Putin has no reason to be, which is why i think it'll be of interest to fellow HNers.

Sweden for example implements the public knowledge side of it, forcing identification to be reliable and 2FA.

> The link between a person and the identity number is established through the civil registry and through identity documents and secondarily through the widespread use of the number in various contacts with authorities, businesses etc. They are necessary for personal service at banks, authorities, health care and other services which use the personal identity number. Most people are familiar with their full number and those of their children without hesitation. Personal identity numbers of individuals are openly available from the Swedish tax authorities to anyone who asks (over phone, letter, over the desk, but not over the internet), according to the Swedish principle of freedom of information. Redistribution of these numbers using computers is, however, governed by the law of personal details, an implementation of the Data Protection Directive.

I can believe that too, but that's not the claim being made here. The claim is that the bias was bound to particular roulette wheels, not particular croupiers. Also, even if a croupier had a reliable contingent bias, you'd still need a ridiculous number of data points to figure that out.

Not just service members. It was most people who had ever held a security clearance, civilian and military.

Only ones not included were agencies that did not use OPM for background investigations (which was only one or two).

Even then, many of the employees of those agencies previously worked for the ones who used OPM’s systems.
I'd hate to see them regulated, or... how would I ever remember anything? With paper? I'd be hosed if I lost it, and I lose... everything.. including my keys and wallet.... all the time, which I also use my phone to find.

The 1990s solution was just to really amplify the public space. Things like the rainforest cafe were very normal aesthetically. We essentially used clickbait in real life.

Smartphones are one half of it. The other half is we have kind of deprecated public spaces as an idea. We hardly even have them besides restaurants!

Even virtually, we don't have anything like true community forms to the degree we used to. Single player epics are a major game genre. Watching netflix is the new pastime, etc. Most of our big cultural things are fairly private now.

We even talk about privacy probably more than any other technical topic, and that is very new. Nobody but pirates would have known what a VPN was till know, and it was common to not care what the NSA knows about you(Ok, a lot of us like me are still like that).

And at the same time, everything has become about sex more than ever before, and even that seems to be more of a private thing than a public Hollywood drama spectacle.

The concept of a "dream job" is widely mocked. Everything seems to be seen as just some infrastructure to support private life.

What do you... do in public exactly? We are told every day it's just place you go to get ready to be at home.

Banning phones would just lead to everyone staring at a wall instead of a phone, until we actually restablish the public sphere as a real thing.

>>The interesting part is the potential for a “universal” api.

This is true both at the application level and the software standards level. An example of the first would be Uniswap. Any one in the world can access this exchange, both for listing tokens, and for trading them, and it is guaranteed to never shut down, as long as the Ethereum network and blockchain exists. This is absolute universality in terms of APIs.

In terms of software standards, the EVM is already used by multiple blockchains, which makes them all share the same address format out of the box, and compatible with software like MetaMask that has tens of millions of installations. I could send Ethereum tokens to your Polygon (an EVM based chain) address, and you would be able to use your Polygon Chain private key to access them. All that you would be required to do is go to MetaMask and switch your network from Polygon to Ethereum mainnet, and the tokens would be appear in your wallet interface.

>>It’s not what the crypto libertarians are pitching and I still believe that governmental currency controls

Government currency controls cannot be a thing any more. Monetary transactions dependent solely on cryptographic authentication, and published to a completely decentralized and immutable platform, totally unmoors money from the types of bottlenecks that state actors could use to control its flows. To control currency requires controlling the flow of information now, and with the universal adoption of the internet, that is not happening.
For astronomy, I suggest The Universe, From Flat Earth to Quasar by Isaac Asimov [1]. Even though it was published in 1971 and may miss recent developments, it captures thehistory, the discoveries and controversies of the times, such as Olber's Paradox, very well.

> essentially second hand smoke

This is a weird argument to me, since second hand smoke causes cancer. I agree that we're probably more distracted than is good for us, and there are contexts where that's a public health risk (specifically when driving), but until we see evidence that public phone use causes bystanders to get cancer, equating the two seems hyperbolic.

So do Serbia, Bulgaria and to a much lesser extent Poland, Latvia and a bunch of others. That does not mean that they are not sovereign countries though.

They are culturally and ideologically closer than anything in Asia. Economically, maybe.
The question is irrelevant because OP's not about grammar accuracy or comprehensibility but about domain expertise. Grammarly has no idea what you're talking about, only how. It tries to get around this with the web-scraper activity mentioned elsewhere in comments but obviously that's a bad way to do it for many reasons.
Think we are well past that. Even if these companies had huge stockpiles, they would have been depleted long ago.

No company is going to hoard multiple years worth of inputs. Supply has remained high in semiconductors too, it's more of a demand than supply problem. But of course, elevated demand and normal supply leads to shortages just the same as normal demand and shortened supply.

I think in most countries in Europe the national id number is enough to link taxes to specific people (identity card numbers are to most effects public), even though for official international documents you need to provide the accepted Tax Identification Number (TIN) which you can find in https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementati..., but more as a convenience than anything else.

> The Geneva Convention is an easily understood bare minimum

It certainly wasn’t written anticipating the development of the internet decades later and does not expressly prohibit the creation of a website identifying the POWs.

If you are making the argument that Ukraine has violated the rights of POWs or any laws, the burden is on you to prove it, no one is going to entertain someone who makes this argument on the basis of moral superiority when they don’t seem to understand the law nor the history from which the law was derived.

Out of curiosity what experience do you have in these matters? Do you work for the UN? Are you a lawyer that works for the International Criminal Court? You seem so sure of your interpretation of the Convention, yet have no support for the same.

> Third, it may turn into something new. If some people don't write a new programming language, then we are stuck with what we have. This advice basically admits that the status quo is good enough... The authors saying that the language, as a project, is a lifetime appointment? Well, this reveals everything. I believe if you want to do a programming language, then you must be willing to invest at least a decade or two.

Sounds like someone should persuade some big-name university to hand out honorary PhDs to people who build new languages that produce demonstrable value (even if the value is not business value).

Seems to be the criteria for a PhD, anyway.
