Glad to see genuine anti-pschiatry advocated here without the other anti-scientific bullshit that is posted along with it.

Most forms of "therapy" don't work either, especially CBT.

Also, don't even get me started on the fact that this group is STILL obsessed with Freud, psychoanalysis, and people who believe that humans have Oedipus and Electra complexes.
>Computer Science curriculums. Well rounded engineers

It depends how you define Engineers. Because you could be a Software engineer in the modern day with zero knowledge on anything but software.

It is also interesting you mention well rounded engineers. CS is not an engineer curriculums. That is CE. Computer Engineering. And I would argue you cant be a well rounded engineers when you have little to zero hardware knowledge. Go around on HN, Reddit and Twitter to see how many devs have really zero knowledge on Hardware. It is not about trends, or latest development, but the fundamental of computing. CPU, Cache, Memory, Network, IOPS. And how the OS hides some of these hardware issues.

I still remember I thought I picked the wrong course when I was doing CE. I often wish I had more software or programming materials. Compared to CS when they had more fun. But 20+ years later, I think CE provides much better foundation than CS. Especially when moore's law is dead. You cant ignore hardware any more.

And there is one more thing that CE taught which as far as I am aware of is completely lacking in CS. To this day I still dont understand how an engineer could have zero understanding in cost and business. It only takes a few lectures to provide enough ground work for student to think through this. And yet they are mostly missing in CS.
> In fact, I wish it was even more boring, like real driving

A realistic driving simulator from Omaha to Cheyenne would be pretty boring, I'll give you that.
Fair hysteria isn't helpful.

That said there's been a lot of fentanyl deaths and it ain't making any communities better off having it. It's cheap, easy to get and the cartels can easily justify losing people to selling large batches.

Only way they can stop the cartels continue to get more of a foothold is by decreasing demand of the product. Not saying their approach is a good approach but I understand why they would try it.
That is not how it is behaving at all for me
Ask HN: Why do companies give options?
I was recently given a fairly odd options offer at my company, in addition to an existing offer. The new offer is weird because it does not start vesting for ~6yrs (then vests fully over a few years... over 9yrs is a really, really long time!).

Anyway, I'm not given a lot of information:

- No idea what the total shares or % ownership these (or my existing) would give me

- No idea of the company's valuation

- No idea if these options are given in lieu of other compensation (my assumption is yes)

This got me thinking... what is the point of companies offering options? What are they really trying to accomplish?

To me it just seems like they are trying to get out of paying their employees, but this is such a negative perspective I thought I'd ask the question here and get your thoughts.
If memory serves the Raptor 2 has a diminished ISP in order to improve peak thrust. They widened the throat in order to push more power through it.
I strongly disagree. Targeted ads are significantly worse than generic ads.

The entire point of advertising is manipulating human beings. Targeted advertising means you have even more data specific to an individual making it easier to manipulate the individual. More generic advertising (for example, TV ads) means all you have is the general area they live in, or the general interest of the individual (magazine ads). You cannot manipulate people based on their personal traits anymore.

The focus of the advertising shifts immediately from the consumer of the ad to the product and/or message of the ad, because you simply do not have enough information about the consumer.

Haha! I can count on it like the sun rising in the east.
That’s normally the story, but probably not the case when you can’t make stuff overnight or move it because energy is too expensive (just for you). You can’t afford to import the stuff you were making because your currency slid 25% which further breaks supply chains fueling more inflation. Inflation goes up with no levers to pull to slow it down (moderate interest rates will send Southern European over the edge). At the same time, central budgets have to get reallocated to just keep citizens alive through winter.

You're right, my memory messed that up.

To avoid looking like more of an idiot, I went back and found the official DC Fast Charge levels and wattages (level 3 DC fast charge is up to 350kW, level 2 is up to around 18kW). Which, thankfully, didn't change my conclusions above, I was of a more sound mind when I did those calculations before.

But here they are again.

Level 2, at 18kW, would be around 157,680 kWh/y per charger at full utilization. (18*24*365)

Level 3 would max out at 3,065,000 kWh/y per charger; but it's much more likely to be intermittently used. (350*24*365)

Compare to these commercial building utilization numbers (the units are thousands of kWh/y): https://www.eia.gov/consumption/commercial/data/2012/c&e/cfm...
Wouldn’t it be better to enumerate what’s prohibited rather than what’s allowed?
> Everyone has to suffer to through those stupid viagra and antidepressants ads because there is no targeting.

This is no worse than suffering through "Raid Shadow Legends" ads because I have a "gamer" bit flipped somewhere in Google's profile of me. 99% (or even 100%) of stuff advertised to me is hot garbage, even if I'm in the right demographic for the product.

The problem is that targeting is only part of the equation of what you see. The other part is the advertiser's budget. And companies that spend big on marketing are often either selling digital crack (e.g. gacha games, scams, gambling) or simply have the most capital
investment (startup of the week, manscaped, Nord VPN, etc.). Neither scenario is a good signal of quality. As a result, the safest approach as a consumer is to ignore all ads.
I've seen this coming for a while, and I'm honestly not sure what the next move to make is for those of us who have done as much as we can to escape the hoards of advertisers. I have no particular love for iOS, but I switched to an iPhone years ago to escape the google ecosystem. There isn't really a plausible third option at this point. Even if Linux phones had usable hardware, more of the world is moving toward relying on apps that only run on DRMed systems with signed software from the data collecting duopoly. I can't deposit a check or order a taxi with a rooted phone, and the trend is getting worse over time- not better.

I suppose the one up-side to the situation is that there's not much point in even trying to spend the time figuring out how to root a device, or dealing with egregiously under-performing open smart phone hardware, and it might be possible to save some money going back to a dumb phone.
It was when Ryan Davis died that I realized just how intimate the podcasting medium could be. While I also loved the rest of the crew, I couldn't listen to Giant Bomb without him. It was just too sad.
As a consumer, I do not want ad relevance. In fact, I hate targeted ads. I do not feel served when mega-corporations unscrupulously track literally everything about me so they can try to sell me crap I don't need. I play the worlds smallest violin for the businesses who have to "bear the brunt" of not knowing how many steps I've taken today, or what times I went the bathroom.
Good side-project will be sold. Others may take longer
I now realise I should've read the article, instead of clicking back as soon as it auto-played a video. I didn't realise it was deliberate, and fraud.
They're a little disingenuous about this.

You can compare the pop-up language Apple shows for an app like FB and the one they show for their own personalized ads to see what I'm talking about. They've also run misleading ads and have made comments that confuse people about what's actually going on.

I'm no apologist for ads, but Ben Thompson is right to point out that this hurts small companies that rely on these targeted ads in order to exist a lot more than it hurts large players like FB.

For example - a grocery store doesn't want to manage 'first party' user data to track what you purchase (and you probably don't want them to), they're bad at that and more likely to do it poorly. They'd rather rely on an ad company they can use instead. This applies to most small businesses that rely on targeted advertising to get their business in front of users that would want it. In Apple's model Amazon doesn't need to say they track you because all purchase data happens on Amazon, but FB does because others use FB to target third party ads. The data doesn't leave FB though so a reasonable person could argue why is this worse?

My personal opinion is that we'd be better off in an equilibrium where these ad driven models are not viable because the models that would replace them would be better on net with incentives more aligned between user and product.

There is a problem here with how user data is handled in some cases, but Apple is also being at best misleading about the issue in a way that benefits themselves and reasonable people could think they're doing the wrong thing.
Yep, the tactical ones would be mostly used as "big bombs" to win a front line. The big ones, to crush a whole country to make it surrender (or what's left of it).

Thanks for the link! I'm a huge fan of Peter Woit - his blog especially.

So my understanding is that while the way Lagrangians are written in classical theory doesn't extend directly to quantum mechanics, the concept of a Lagrangian is still useful since the Lagrangian can be fed into the path integral formulation (as opposed to being used as an input to the Euler-Lagrange equations). Also, in quantum field theory the starting point for canonical second quantization is typically a Lagrangian, where the fields are changed to operator fields.

Also, something interesting I came across - the Euler-Lagrange equations do have a quantum analogue as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwinger%E2%80%93Dyson_equati...
> "censorship-free search engine" are expressing an incoherent desire

That's not really true. `grep` is a censorship-free search engine. It just reports every matching result.

Of course that wouldn't generally be useful over the web, however even with sorting it is possible to be censorship free. You just need to include every matching result eventually.

Of course you would find that generating later pages likely also becomes expensive, so you may also add a page limit and ask the user to refine the query instead. Of course then you are back to this problem of it can be very difficult to find every result because you need to guess what words are on the page.

But all of this is basically moot because Google doesn't claim to be censorship-free so they have much simpler way of hiding results.
> You're correct. It is obvious.

So then yes, you agree with everyone else completely, that many artists would be unable to produce certain art, if they were unable to make a living from it.

Great, you agree with everyone else entirely. Not sure why you would be so upset with everyone if you simply agree with everyone's main point, 100%.

> that I refuse to be dragged

You don't have to be dragged anywhere if you simply agree with the point, that you called obvious, which is that many artists could not produce work if they could not live off of it.

This doesn't have to be an argument. You just agree with them, and you called it obvious.
SEEKING WORK | Chicago, Illinois | Remote

Hello HN! I'm Lorenzo, a Ex-Air Force contracting specialist turned IT federal integrator. I help developers land contracts with federal, state, and local governments.

the most common challenges I’ve seen are a lack of:

- Streamlined procedures around federal and state contract capture.

- Marketing campaigns and outreach to Contracting Officers

- Access to the best deals (oftentimes requiring Pricing Agreements)

To aid in understanding the industry, I’ve done a Federal Government market intelligence report on the IT & software industry I can share for a conversation.

> women experience way more unwanted harassment via online dating apps

That's because many men have figured out that volume works, and spam everybody. If one answers their spam with annoyance, they're totally amused by sending a really aggressive, rude reply, because you are 0.1% of the "'sup?" messages they sent out that day and don't matter to them. They're irritated that you bothered to reply at all.

Ever trick a phone scammer into talking to you for a long time? When he realizes that you've wasted his time, his reaction is exactly like the 'sup? guys.
> This is not offered to "poor" people, so we have a clear two-tier justice system.

This is absolutely not true in the US. Poor people are very much encouraged to settle without going to trial. In fact, the vast majority of all cases are resolved that way. Poor people relying on public defenders tend to get pushed into settling more easily than wealthy folks, even.

Indeed, it is the lack of public defenders that create a two-tier justice system more than anything in the US.
To piggy-back on this, Clear Street Markets is also looking for people in the proprietary-trading department. We need engineers (C++), researchers (generally Python), and traders.

> So I automatically converts all m<sup>2</sup> and similar into the unicode symbols

Nice in theory, but only works for trivial cases. Most old-school use of <sup> is as a quick-and-dirty pre-MathML way of rendering equations as (accessible) text in browsers. (The people who didn't care about accessibility rendered TeX to an image and embedded it.)
This will be worse than citizens United.

What will end up happening is most big US websites will just relocate to Europe, or another country without such liability.
I'd argue that, to a layman, if it is obvious that there aren't that many meaningful hits, then there weren't that many hits. :(

Oops, thanks for the correction. I let my poor French bleed into my poor German. I have even stayed in Wehlen at the Gasthaus Prüm so it's especially embarrassing.

I think your point is relevant to USB, though! The USB folks know what all the words mean. They know what a USB 3.4 Gen 2 cable is, and what a PD cable is, and what a SuperSpeed cable is. Because they are the experts. It's not complicated to them, just as the wine description is, truly, not complicated to you. But your average person who just wants to connect their monitor to their laptop is left adrift.

P.S. that wine (well, the fruchtig version, not the feinherb) is one of my very favorites.
The problem is that manufacturing those exports requires imported energy which goes up in price every time the Euro sinks in value, and those energy prices are already so much higher than (for example) the USA that it's basically infeasible to manufacture stuff in Europe. The price is only half the story as well, Europe has serious problems with the availability of energy and it probably wouldn't be possible for Germany to import enough energy to keep its industries running at any price.

Faster growth is generally less dense growth as well. In the physical sense that is - tree rings are bigger, the material is lighter, and as you might guess - weaker.

Apple is being very hypocritical here. Privacy matters until they tell you it’s ok, don’t worry about it. With Budd Trible moving on, I guess this is the state of affairs. Sad.
