It doesn't, and I was not claiming anything like that. In fact I wasn't making any claim about anything at all. I was just pointing out some broader context that the way ideas spread and consensus forms or changes is a messy and human process and always has been, and that it's something people have been thinking about for a long time already, so there are plenty of ideas to read about the topic for anyone who is interested in it.

If you do want a claim, my personal opinion is that Twitter's choices to ban or allow certain advertising will make no noticeable difference to the progress of scientific understanding, because I don't think adverts on Twitter are a communication channel that matters for the spread of ideas within academic communities. I can imagine that over time it might make a difference to lay-people's beliefs about some things, although I'm not sure whether Twitter has a broad enough audience to really change much here. Since I personally am fully onboard the "climate change is real, and it's real bad" train, I don't have any problem with Twitter banning adverts that spread the opposite idea. If it was a ban on what general Twitter users can post then I would have a problem with it, but I'm ok with a ban on adverts. Maybe that's inconsistent of me, I don't know.

The math of QM underpins so much of modern technology, like transistors, MRIs, high precision clocks..

I feel like there's been a humongous failure of science communication if the applications of QM aren't obvious to you :( I don't mean that in a mean spirited fashion, I really do feel despair that someone on HN who enjoyed physics wasn't shown how quantum physics has been the bedrock for so much technology!

> You can’t really expect to just toss a binary over the wall and forget about the project for the next decade.

You can on Windows. Microsoft has shown us what a three decades of maintaining an OS to that standard will do to a platform and its software ecosystem. There are definitely pros and cons to taking that approach. These days, as a user I'd much rather have decent emulators of older platforms and operating systems, rather than rely on the current OS to be completely and forever backwards compatible. But that doesn't seem like a good solution for mobile platforms or their app stores.
OP here - thinking of launching a small, fairly niche SAAS product. The tax implications seem to be by far the most complex part of creating a globally distributed digital product, which perhaps is just a testament to how good a job engineers over the last 4 decades have done in making this stuff first possible and then easy.

Should I be worried? Has anyone done this?

Looking at you, Schufa.
I think of two different types of minds in this case, 'functional' and 'stateful.' Functional (like functional programming) minds do not use recall much, but instead build tools to react to situations. Stateful (with reactions in storage already) minds are good at recall and can react to known scenarios with greater precision.

I feel like you describe a functional one.
I'm friends with someone who has clinical DID. It is, as near as I can tell, not induced by media, etc, but by extreme and profound trauma.

> The people who have traditionally been treated for DID have suffered, greatly, and not in the cool arty time-to-dye-my-hair-again type of suffering common to social media performance, but actual, painful, pitiable suffering. Those patients who have been diagnosed in the past with the disorder, by doctors, and who have spent years and years dealing with the consequences, are often truly debilitated people, whether the disorder itself is real or not. They require intense therapy, are often medicated with powerful drugs, and are frequently subject to long-term hospitalization. They tend to live broken and pain-filled lives, like most people with serious mental illness.

This is a relatively accurate description of their life. Clinical DID is not cute or something to parade in front of people you don't know.

I have extraordinarily little interest in open DID fora like Reddit, because these fora don't adequately encompass my friends' reality.
Except it’s well within their rights to do this. They’re not beholden to be the platform that furthers false things like climate change denial

Boats are the only type of rc craft where using LiFePO4s is feasible, because they are less weight sensitive. Try selling switching to LiFePO4 to quadcopter pilots, for example..

Alternately, some people face more than one tough challenge in their experience such that their “clinical” presentation is modulated in chaotic ways by all the other shit they deal with.

With all the championing of identifying as this or that, it’s easy to forget that identity is reductive and that whole, complicated, multifaceted people are involved.

It’s certainly true that there are people who chase delusions, identify with some struggle for attention or to feel included in a community, but your approach of evaluating their “clinical
symptoms” (are you a clinician?) probably isn’t a very accurate way of spotting them. In fact, it’s just really hard to do altogether, let alone from an armchair.
Somewhere else, yes, you're driving the clouds off, though admittedly the effects may not always be so direct.
It's perfectly fair to talk bout this issues but I'll challenge a couple of those points:

- I overwhelmingly doubt the notion of some material group of 'fake transgender' people, fully going through transistion, and then 'overacting' their gender as some kind of evidence that they are under 'transgender delusion'.

It's frankly an outrageous statement - even though I'm sure you're just ruminating and don't mean ill - it's almost offensively uninformed.

If you spend 1 hour with a few trans people, that view would be dispelled pretty quickly.

- 'Transgender Delusion' is akin to saying 'gay delusion' and while there should be some space for 'straight talk' to the extent these things may exist, you can imagine what kind of reaction you'd get for calling people who self-identify as gay as 'just deluded'.

- Also problematic in your statement is the notion that 'trans' is a binary thing, often it's not. It's not M->F and F->M with people 'flipping' into other socially normative appearances and behaviours. It's everything in between.

- All of that said, I think it is fair to posit that because gender is softer issue int that most of us have probably more in common than separates by gender, and that it's clearly a bit of a spectrum ... some people have do have 'problems' with their gender identity, and though may not be 'deluded' ... definitely have issues with nailing it down. Combined with the assertive push for protecting identity expression, I think people revel in their confusion. Labels like 'genderqueer' make me think this is a possibility.

- There is a political aspect to this as much as people don't want their to be, and it's really easy for people to assume a 'moniker' as part of their public identity that really isn't part of their core identity. For example, there were agender people in the past of various kinds, more of a creative or artistic statement to 'reject' the notion of gender, less so a material identity.

- Multiple personality 'disorder' is outside the spectrum of gender etc. and the author is a bit off to make it so overtly political, but he's not wrong to point out that we have serious issues in culture with anything that speaks to the level of 'identity'.

Windows really is the exception and not the rule, though. In fact in the free and open world of Linux, backwards compatibility is even worse… a binary compiled a year ago has a good chance of no longer working. Stuff like Flatpak is improving that situation a bit, but it’s still nowhere as backwards compatible as Windows.

Such a beautiful person. I was at the natural history museum in London today and kept thinking about this article. The old exhibits are definitely more charming, the new ones are dramatically lit (and hides too much of the incredible architecture of the building) and simple and have way too much text - show don't tell
I received an email this morning saying the same about one of my apps, it hasn’t got any crash reports, still gets downloads after 5 years, doesn’t need a v2 and Apple decide it’s time to go. Due to swift version changes I don’t have time to push a meaningful change as it doesn’t compile any more.
I had a problem with this for 3 years after getting shingles. My immune system is not right. Went to many doctors, took a probiotic every day, etc. Still had diarrhea, but just once or twice a day.

I went to Mayo Clinic and they suggested that because of my immune system, maybe I shouldn't take a probiotic. So while I was there (a week), I stopped taking the daily probiotic. Holy crap (literally!), I started going 10x a day within 2 days.

So I started taking 2 probiotics a day, and within a couple of days it calmed down. Then I went to back to 1 a day as before, and had diarrhea once or twice a day again.

I got the bright idea, maybe I need to be on 2 a day. So did that for a few days and my problem went completely away. 2 a day was going to cost me around $36/mo.

Around the same time I discovered I was lactose intolerant. I had been having inflammation problems for quite a while with a sore a-hole, and figured it was because of the diarrhea, but it didn't go away. Had some potato soup one day and it caused me to be on the toilet many times, so I thought I'd just try going off milk for a week. No doctor ever mentioned this to me - thanks.

A few months after all this, my sister was talking to a cousin who also had diahrrea problems for years. She told her about the probiotic I was taking 2x a day and it also cleared hers up.

Now instead of taking the probiotic twice a day I make homemade yogurt and use 3 of the probiotics as a starter. Way cheaper and works great: I just eat a tablespoon every morning.

I know people say not to doctor yourself, but sometimes that turns out to be the only solution that works. Doctors don't know everything, and especially don't know everything about you.
I kept my Internet Box 3 (IB3): the 10Gbps doesn't need a new router, just a new SFP module (sent free of charge) :)

If you want you can get a IB4 and forget about the replacement module (it should have the module directly soldered onto the board AFAIK).

Anyways, both routers are fanless from what I know (and can hear).

More or less, yes. I don't believe that these companies have actual principles to defend here; they act in self-preservation. If the government threatens to break up Google for spreading propaganda, it's going to stop spreading propaganda, however the government defines the category. PRISM wasn't that long ago. Gag orders exist. Do you think Fastmail is going to refuse to comply with the Assistance and Access Bill? To view this as a shifting equilibrium, I would need to see organizations arising as dedicated to opposing this process as there are those seeking to accelerate it. I don't believe they exist at the scale necessary to do so. Instead, I see a meme gaining ground that free speech itself is unnecessary or harmful - "freeze peach" at the mud-slinging lower end of the intellectual scale, and "the Paradox of Tolerance" at the higher end.
I too have had good experience with IFS, and I think from the point of view of IFS the less 'solid' and more transient the parts are, the better. The traditional 'multiple personality disorder' are then excessively rigid parts that block each other.

I do enjoy asking my friends how old they feel just in the moment when they talk about something benign bothering them. Most of the time people are able to pinpoint the age from which they speak. E.g. they had a situation that reminded them of some injustice they experienced when they were 6, and so they traveled the affect bridge back to the behaviours and attitudes they had at 6. Of course a six year old can't solve it, but just remembering that they are older and more capable now can bring back the 'adult' parts that can find a solution.

> For example, I used to intuitively think if my thoughts as 'me'. But now it seems obvious that thoughts just arise and pass away on their own and are only tagged 'after the fact' as me.

I first came across this in Greg Egan's short story 'Mister Volition'. It's scary but compelling. Egan cites two books - 'The Society of Mind', by Marvin Minsky, and 'Consciousness Explained' by Daniel Dennett - as the source of the ideas in the story. I highly recommend the story, but have not read the other books.

I think you have it half backwards. Existing transportation options and infrastructure are bad. That has meant that travel cost in time and money is too high when compared to the post-pandemic benefit we get from co-working.

The internet and remote work is the best solution we currently have. However, in an ideal world we would all travel to work with each other, _if_ time and monetary costs of travel were low enough.

> My personal feeling (contrary to most comments here) is that the sanctions have a terrible effect on the USA and Europe .. [etc]

Russia's GDP is about 5% that of the US and the EU combined. It's not big enough to "destabilise" anything. Brexit (loss of an economy 4x larger than Russia's) is not having a terrible effect on the EU.

Wannabe competitors to SWIFT are even smaller in relative size, and as for India and China working together on something for a long period of time... well, I think India wants to retain access to the developed world's economy.

Sure, Russia shutting off gas supplies to the EU would be inconvenient for a while, but it would be more than inconvenient for Russia.

Here's what I've never understood. From an outside perspective the black hole will evaporate before the thing falls in. Thus a thing can never fall in. From its perspective the hole will emit more and more intense radiation and finally evaporate just before it hits the horizon.

If true, I think you can go even further and say no black hole can completely form; the collapsing matter just gets exponentially closer to being fully black until the effect of the Hawking radiation outweighs the gravitation, but it all evaporates before going fully black. No?

(This latter part assumes there's some Hawking radiation or equivalent from pre-black holes as well).

Now, I assume the pre-Hawking radiation would be unitary, since the only reason Hawking radiation is not unitary is because BHs don't have information, but pre-black holes are not black holes. So doesn't that solve the info paradox? Without resorting to holographs and whatnot? Where's the error?
I'm so glad to have read your reply and to know that my comment helped you to appreciate and understand your mom's situation a little better.

These days, radio is still a powerful tool but it's often underappreciated. Whilst one can have the TV on it's not of much help unless one's watching it, whereas radio is more intimate in that one can go about one's daily life and its presence is still with one.

What you observed about your mom's life I've also seen in my own relatives especially the women in my family whose partner had died. For them, the radio was pretty much a 24/7 comfort and a protection against loneliness. My appreciation of this never fully struck me until they'd died. It's now a big regret that I never spent more time with them when they were alive. The fact that I cannot undo that hurts.

(BTW, I often post comments on line more as a diary or aide-mémoire to remind myself of what I thought about a story. I wouldn't bother to do so if it remained on my home PC but the added incentive that others may read it spurs me to write. These days, there's so much competition for people's attention online that one posts on the understanding that if one's lucky one's comment will receive a few fleeting glances. Occasionally, when one receives genuine heartfelt feedback as with your post, it makes one's efforts feel as if they've been worthwhile. Thanks.)

Obviously one would use appropriate munitions against such a target.

18th century naval engineers devised chain shot (two half-rounds of a cannonball with a length of chain between them) to wreak havok on masts, rigging, and sails of enemy ships, a target not unlike an airship.

The "flying ginsu" AGM-114R9X Hellfire missile was developed for other missions, but might be the harbinger of specific anti-airship / anti-aerostat munitions. Small bullet holes are one thing, large gaping gashes from a flying knife, and, say, some form of incendiary as an encouragement to hydrogen ignition, would be an entirely different matter.

Even tracer rounds from standard machine-gun fire would probably give a hydrogen-filled aerostat a bad day.

For people that are lost on how climate change could be positive: it causes higher crop yields, and increases the temperature in cold regions (saving people from freezing to death and saving huge amounts of energy in heating).

Economists have performed many analyses on these and the conclusions indicate the consequences of climate change are much more mild that what the media, NGOs and politicians propagate. It's revolting that institutions have kept this scientific analysis away from the general population and have been feeding us political hysteria instead. The fact that even educated, rational, successful engineers in Hacker News are not aware of these data is another argument for why Twitter shouldn't be censoring ads in this political way.
I was at one point on a team building out infra integration with Appian, which touts itself as a low-code / no-code platform. The sales pitch is the no-code example which executives really love, and the pitch is that they can get some "business minded people" to write the "low-code". But the complexity was enough that we ended up throwing a bunch of junior software developers and hiring consultants for it, so you ended up with something like 25 software developers on a "low code" platform.

The "low code" option, which isn't really less code than just writing it in a terse language like python (so really only code compared to java). So for this company moving to Appian, we ended up writing a ton of integration work in Java, and tons of AWS services. Then with a bunch of custom, vendor locked, appian language for their platform. And in the end we could have saved money if we had just rewritten the whole platform on AWS for our own use case using just a rules engine in postgres and some service.

When I Google it, the first result is... your post, and none of the other results include the word.

Adding quotes to "badass" turns up (on the first page) a mechanics job posted in January, four hits for the same CNA job from over a month ago, and one hit for an administrative job, posted this month.

That doesn't seem like a lot of postings, certainly not enough to be considered an outlier.

Of course to verify that I'd have to do fifty Google searches and chart the data, which I don't really want to do...

I think you should, though, so next time you make such a dubious claim, you have the data to back it up. :)
