> happiness is attributed to material possessions, which ironically is also what makes you unhappy.

This is a rather extreme position since beyond a certain level material possessions to not contribute to happiness but won't necessarily make you unhappy. Likewise, a complete lack of material possessions will probably make you unhappy.

I think they're mostly conventional these days, but the pieces aren't that strong whether they're conventional or contrarian.
I'm generally trusting of pharma studies. But a bout with Zyrtec has convinced me that psychological effects aren't always well studied, even for common drugs.

I'm convinced that prolonged use of Zyrtec makes me angrier for example. I've experimented with my allergies, and when I'm off Zyrtec, I'm sniffling and sneezing all the time... But generally happier and healthier from a mental perspective.

Every medication you take, especially with prolonged use, should be considered an experiment IMO. Even if the studies are show safety and efficacy... there are plenty of other side effects that could diminish quality of life.

Allegra doesn't have this problem for me, so I just switched to that.
It might be my experience level/background at play here, but I’ve been seeing a lot of openings that are either requiring or desiring Go.
Can someone clarify why DoorDash and Uber can't turn a profit?

My guess is that paying enough for drivers on top of food delivery makes the food so expensive, there's no margin left to turn a profit from. If you charge enough to make a profit, no one will order food delivery since it's too expensive. Is that correct?
Well, it is expensive.
I would still learn bash and python, but I'd probably not do Java/C# again and learn rust instead.
This is a serious question:

In a place like the DMZ, are mines really immoral? Are land mines universally immoral? Anymore than any other weapon of war? Does this immorality extend to naval as opposed to land mines?

No one is walking freely in the DMZ. Certainly not children. If land mines are effective (US generals say no, but they don't win too many wars.) they raise the cost of attack almost for free.

This stabilizes the situation avoiding what would be a devastating war.

Some object that a war that gets rid of the North Korean regime is necessary and not to be avoided. I wouldn't necessarily disagree, but point out that I chose the DMZ merely as a widely known dangerous example. The example can be changed to any border dispute between two "dangerous" countries (say India and Pakistan).

Nor can the "indiscriminate nature" save the argument. A cluster bomb thrown into a city is indiscriminate and a terrible thing. But the immoral act is deploying the weapon where it acts without discretion. This is no different from carpet bombing city a la WW2.

So the question remains: why are land mines malum in se? And how are the uniquely evil compared to any other weapon of war? [1]

[1] Im not being facetious. I believe there are inherently evil weapons, chemical or biological ones come to mind, while other weapons have, if not a nobility to them, are not inherently evil: the rifle.
This is true for me as well. I've never taken medication for my ADHD but therapy and KNOWING has helped me tremendously.
The article has a rather convoluted definition of 'bullying':

> "Bullying, a form of peer victimisation, can take place between children, between adolescents or between adults. It is not bullying when a parent or a teacher is abusive towards a child. While the terms peer victimisation and bullying are often used interchangeably, peer victimisation is not equivalent to bullying. For example, it is not bullying when two people of about the same strength quarrel or fight, but it is peer victimisation. An especially important feature of bullying is the power imbalance between those who perpetrate bullying behaviours and their victims..."

The notion that parental or teacher abuse can't be called bullying is nonsensical, as it produces the same kind of behavior in children (fearful, submissive, avoidance, etc.). The general psychological concept is 'operant conditioning', essentially brainwashing by authority figures enforced by violence, humiliation, and so on. It's a key feature of all authoritarian systems. There's little doubt that schoolyard bullies are merely aping the behavior of adult authoritarian figures:

https://www.thoughtco.com/operant-conditioning-definition-ex...

The best literature on bullying (and also a criticism of the British school system) IMO is "Lord of the Flies" (William Golding, 1954). Note it was not a critique of so-called 'human nature' in general but of a particular societal construct.

> "Virginia Woolf drew a very clear line between the brutalisation of little boys in a loveless environment and their assumption as adults into the brutal institutions of colonialism. It’s long been clear to many that the UK is ruled by many people who think their damage is a strength, and who seek to perpetuate it."

People are often reluctant to discuss this, because it exposes the fact that "free Western democracies" employ these authoritarian tactics (perhaps with heavier emphasis on psychological control vs. physical control) just as often as communist or theocratic states do.
But apps have to use it. An example of an app that apparently doesn't is Explorer. Another example: cmd.com. So if you have a shell or explorer window opened in a directory, and an app tries to delete or move it, that app will die. It might be better for Explorer to notice and go up to the next nearest available directory.

Rust was initially released July 7, 2010, Go was released around November 10, 2009, so if we are just looking at that they are actually on roughly equal footing. My understanding is Rust and Go are for mostly different purposes though depending on what your goals are as a dev, like Rust is more for systems level programming whereas Go is for developing portable application binaries with a focus on performance.

Feynman’s Lectures on Computation: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FJ6RRK7/ref=as_li_tl?ie...
You might be familiar with Feynman's Lectures on Physics, but his lectures on Computation (based on a class he taught and his work in 'Connection Machine') aren't any less amazing. Through this short book, Feynman guides us through the concept of computation and the van Neumann architecture in his unique style, from logic functions, to Turing machines, coding and even quantum computers. It will give you a unique appreciation of the finer points in which computers are "Dumb as hell but go like mad" and give you a completely different way of thinking about computation

That's just wrong, article did a bit insinuating but never directly claimed that, and linked source (http://www.pkarchive.org/personal/EnronFAQ.html) actually disproves it:

> 1. What did I do? In early 1999 I was asked to serve on a panel that offered Enron executives briefings on economic and political issues. As far as I knew at the time, they genuinely wanted to learn something. I resigned from that board in the fall of 1999, when I accepted an offer to write for the New York Times.

It's funny to post such a clear falsehood when talking about Gell-Mann amnesia.
“I don’t much believe in the happiness of animals, except when I want to use this conceit as a frame for highlighting a particular feeling. To be happy, it’s necessary to know that one’s happy. The only happiness we get from sleeping without dreaming is when we wake up and realize that we’ve slept without dreaming. Happiness is outside of happiness.

There’s no happiness without knowledge. But the knowledge of happiness brings unhappiness, because to know that you’re happy is to realize that you’re experiencing a happy moment and will soon have to leave it behind. To know is to kill, in happiness as in everything else. Not to know, on the other hand, is not to exist.

Only the absolute of Hegel managed to be two things at once, but in writing. Being and non-being do not mix and meld in the sensations and laws of life; they exclude one another, by a kind of reverse synthesis.

What to do? Isolate the moment like a thing, and be happy now, in the moment we’re feeling happiness, thinking of nothing but what we’re feeling and completely excluding everything else. Trap all thought in our sensation..”

Is it possible that you don't have ADHD? I am not an expert, but it is my understanding that the medications affect those with and without ADHD totally differently.

In reponse to the original post, I don't think psychiatrists are really the ones who should be diagnosing ADHD. It is again my understanding that neuropsychologists should be the ones administering the tests and diagnosis, where psychiatrists will then manage the medications.

For myself, I was convinced that I had ADHD but went through neuropsychological testing. It turns out that the primary diagnosis is that I just have severe anxiety, which shares a lot of the symptoms but with completely different cause mechanisms.
A Brit who when demonstrating some sort of art or craft says "Here's one I prepared earlier" is often referencing the Blue Peter art segments where they would start to assemble (say) a model of Tracy Island from 'sticky back plastic' and toilet rolls and then cut to a superbly finished creation.

Show HN: Tandem – An Engine for Secure Multi-Party Computation (Written in Rust)
Tandem is a cryptographic engine for executing programs using Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), which allows 2 parties to compute a function without revealing their private inputs. The classic example from cryptography is the millionaires' problem, where two millionaires compute who is richer without revealing their wealth to each other.

MPC has in the past been mostly confined to academia, but thanks to some recent papers has finally become fast enough for practical applications. Tandem uses Garbled Circuits, encrypted circuits consisting of boolean gates. While there have been other implementations based on these ideas, Tandem tries to provide a much better user experience than previous attempts. For example, the Tandem repo includes a server, a command line client and client libs for wasm and native architectures. To make it easier to run practical applications, programs can be written in Garble, a custom Rust-like programming language that compiles to Garbled Circuits.

(The most practical application to date using Tandem is "Encryptle", a Wordle clone that runs entirely over MPC. Depending on latency, a client/server exchange takes about 400ms, which makes the UX very similar to the real Wordle, with the twist that the server cannot see the guess in plain text and the browser cannot see the solution in plain text. Instead, guess and solution are kept private and compared using MPC.)
Tangentially, I find people radically over-prepare for day hiking. Most people, on most trails, in most conditions, would be perfectly fine setting off in sneakers with a half liter of water.

I've been on them for closing in on a decade. My dosage is stable, and they make it possible to use other coping methods.

Which is to say that without meds, I can't concentrate long enough to use a coping method, or the coping method just doesn't work.

Not all of them. There are two very specific use cases that it has value as:

1. A decentralised/trust-less "source of truth" for coordination between mutually distrusting parties. This was the "novel" innovation for Bitcoin and it's been refined with the less energy intensive consensus algorithms. Not everything needs this and arguably fairly few things do but for the projects that benefit from trust-less coordination as an option, I'm not sure there's a better alternative yet.

2. As a decentralised marketplace for a given resource. The most common one is the basic cryptocurrency which is a fee market for inclusion in the ledger. Past that however are Storage, Data routing (i.e. VPN or onion routing), and Verifiable Compute (or non-accuracy-critical compute like 3d rendering).

Outside of those, I'd also argue it's useful for privacy preserving transactions (like monero, etc) but I know some people will disagree that that's "just for criminals".

Don't get me wrong, a lot of cryptocurrency or blockchain projects are practically an abstraction over git or a database but there are a number of very useful things you can do with blockchains that you just can't do with git or a db.
The way everyone is referred to as "techie" and "Gen Z" in the article comes of super condescending.

Why would you even make the connection between work and happiness ?
HR and corporations don't work to make you happy, some just play you to get better job and money themselves.

I've just learnt to get happiness and fulfillment in clubs, friends and family, so that some abusive managers don't have the power to make me happy or not.
And I've become more minimalist. I should be able to survive, if I change of job.
> What kind of speech aims to prevent people from being exposed to certain viewpoints?

Any speech that argues for certain viewpoints to be banned, or tries to incite people to action that would reduce the spread of those viewpoints (e.g. by threatening or punishing anyone who would spread them). The most obvious examples are articles that outright call for bans, such as https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/nov/23/ancient... (about some Netflix show peddling what appears to be silly pseudohistory, tagline: "Why has this been allowed?"), or recent examples calling for removal of Twitter from app stores because of Musk's decision to unban Trump or otherwise trying to prevent that from happening (e.g. https://slate.com/technology/2022/05/twitter-employees-elon-...). People organising to contact the employers and other relations of those who voiced viewpoints they disagree with in an attempt to persuade them to terminate their relation with the individual in question. Campus activists campaigning to prevent talks by speakers they disagree with (e.g. https://www.businessinsider.com/list-of-disinvited-speakers-...), or trying to disrupt those talks if they do happen, for example by pulling fire alarms (https://bc.ctvnews.ca/fire-alarm-pulled-during-demonstration...), which I assume are not lone-wolf actions but planned and organised in public channels.

Even in the case of "100 angry people responding back" that you cite, I think at some point a threshold is crossed where additional angry people responding clearly are not adding new perspectives but are rather, inadvertently or deliberately, intimidating the person they respond to by sheer mass of negative sentiment, resulting in a diminished likelihood that that person or anyone with a similar viewpoint will risk sharing that view in the future.

> you might be assuming that most people secretly have opinions that they're just too intimidated to express

I don't think that this is necessarily true or important, as most people have one of a very small collection of common opinions. My concern is more of the form that most interesting opinions are only held by a small number of people each, of whom sufficiently many are too intimidated to express them that I - or other people who would stand to benefit from the perspective - will never learn of them.
To me, there’s no right answer, hence why I listed set of examples and ended list with etc.

Being rather contrary here, but is there any evidence that bullying actually improves some people's lives? As a victim of childhood bullying, the experience was awful, but I learned a thing or two as well.
ADHD does real damage to people's lives. Unemployment, divorce, secondary health effects. These are serious issues. The disorder is bit sooner vague feeling of disorganization.

Before I was diagnosed I had a good exercise habit, ate well, used a calendar and a todo list and my life was still a mess. After getting diagnosed and medicated I see a steady gradual improvement in all aspects of my life.
That is not how ADHD works. A person with untreated ADHD will not improve much even with incentives like this without treatment. The problem is that when it is untreated the executive part of the brain is not firing correctly because of a chemical imbalance. The meds help to fix that.
So what is your salary range?

> I eat beef and salt. I haven't gotten much pushback about the salt.

And nothing else? I've done keto a few times for a couple weeks each time, and I cannot imagine only ever eating beef. Does that take a lot of willpower? I can't even really image eating only meat over a long term, much less only one kind of meat. A couple weeks seems to be about my limit.

Is the amount of salt unusual, or just like a normal sprinkle of table salt for flavoring?
You, like Elon, appear to have missed the last decade or so of arguments about app stores, who has access, what's allowed or not, and what cut of the money the platform can get.

The origin of the name comes from the fact that it started as a Lua project. In Lua (Portuguese for moon), everyone loves any "moon" related names or puns for their project. As such, "Lunatic" fits right in.

As someone who has family members with mental health issues, I don't find the term offensive at all.

All that said, I do hope that the authors understand that they might be fighting an uphill battle with regards to adoption.
