In this case, it’s movies and TV, which most people enjoy. So there’s a superficial accessibility to the problem which encourages this attitude.

No, it's per scope. If we're discussing a data center, it's perfectly reasonable to say that the data center is taking water in (that is to say, consuming it) and evaporating water out.

One thing I find fascinating is how crass many medieval objects and garments are colored, often to the point they are offensive to our modern tastes. Our fiction depicts the Middle Ages as a mix of gray and earth tones, but reality is the opposite: people in the Middle Ages loved colors (just as the people before them). It's the wide availability of synthetic colors that lead to us using them less and less in modern times, preferring everything to be muted, gray or colored in black, off-white and earth tones.

For a large, highly liquid ETF like SPY, it’s easy to rapidly unwind a position at a very tight spread. How does Double’s approach—directly holding the individual underlying securities—compare in terms of market liquidity and transaction costs, especially if I need to quickly liquidate my portfolio or adjust my positions?
> deep blacks

I have never agreed with the supposition that CRTs have deep blacks. The "black" is clearly gray and it was always very noticeable to me when watching CRTs in a lit room. This is one of the things that appealed to me about LCDs in the first place.

In a pitch black room maybe CRTs have better blacks than LCDs (but even then there's CRT glow!), but LCDs have better blacks in a lit room, which is a far more likely scenario for me. Consequently since the beginning of LCD use I've always thought of them as being more vibrant with better contrast.

One thing you can do on a CRT that is difficult/impossible to simulate on an LCD is proper vector graphics. Vectrex games have a really cool glow to the lines as do arcade cabinets (Star Wars / Asteroids / Battle Zone). I wonder how closely OLEDs can mimick that.

Maybe, or the country collapses before he goes to trial.

I'm reminded of the trial of John Brown. For those who aren't history buffs, John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, VA in October 1859, hoping to steal weapons to arm the slaves and fuel a slave revolt. He was caught and executed in December 1859. The country collapsed into civil war 17 months later, at Lincoln's inauguration. Historians wryly note that John Brown was executed for doing, on a small scale, the same thing that Lincoln did on a large scale 2 years later.

Yes, it is a fact the definition exists on Brittanica. This is a positive thing, not a normative value.

But we, together, also shape how words are used. Just because someone uses a word doesn’t mean we have to like it or accept the context. We certainly don’t have to blindly repeat it.

We all put this into practice. We choose to reinforce patterns we find useful. And ignore ones we don’t.

We don’t need to disempower ourselves by acting like we have no power over language.

As for me, I would rather democratize mean something meaningful. So when someone uses it for self-interested purposes, I try to call it out.

I’m not a stickler for no reason. It is because I care — the world is still only marginally and fleetingly democratic. I don’t want marketing speak to ooze into yet another domain. Instead, I want such efforts to cause eye-rolls and backpressure.

But, yes, I will grant the printing press “democratized” books. And the Internet “democratized” information. These kinds of societal breakthrough are worthy of the word. It also so happens that such broad empowerings mutually reinforce democracy.

I bring the military budget up just as an example of how the priorities of our society, or our government rather, are completely backwards imo. One reason why we haven't "figured it out" is because health insurance companies effectively lobby the US govt to secure their monopoly. They know that we just got rid of the middle man that is insurance companies, we'd spend less money and get better care.
he's looking for a spectacle. there's zero chance of it working, but 100% chance of garnering more media attention.
In an ideal world the insurance company would operate more like a fiduciary than a custodian. Their job should be to guide you towards the best possible outcome not just the outcome that suits their best interest. But, that would require everyone along the chain from physicians, pharmacies, nurses, back office, front office, billing and scheduling to all operate in that same manner -- which unfortunately doesn't lead to profit so we end up with the system we have.
> It irks me, however, that they no longer even have the option.

I think the major point is that they don't have the option right now. The percentage of websites that honor DNT is a rounding error, so the existence of it -- at best -- gives the illusion of privacy protection. In my opinion, the illusion of security is worse than not having security but knowing it.

It’s especially bizarre here because I haven’t even expressed an opinion about the killing. All I said is that love of killers is nothing new, and if you want it to stop then you need to change the circumstances that make people like killing, rather than just telling them that they’re bad.

Nice! This looks incredibly similar to a tool I've been working on at $job and that will be open-sourced soon.

Congrats on the release!

What's stopping people from switching to a better insurance provider?
No one suggested there was a free lunch.

Actually, I take that back. If we think of a "free lunch" as something that isn't earned, the only free lunch here is the one that shareholders (which includes the c-suite given their share grants in the compensation packages) receive quarterly in the form of dividends and earnings-per-share. When you take someone's money (usually $200/month or more... much more actually), find every single excuse to not provide a service a doctor of medicine has declared to be necessary, and then pay yourself more money than most people would even know how to spend in a lifetime, you're pretending you're entitled to a free lunch.
I think it is more informative to think of a time you planned a big trip, especially if things went really wrong on the trip or there was a significant problem. Looking back with hindsight, I can see how I may have failed to see and adapt to an issue before it got bigger or that I act irrationally because I’m stressed and I haven’t let go of a preconceived notion and accepted the new situation. I have wondered why I didn’t investigate something beforehand that now seems obvious and important. There have been cases where sheer dumb luck saved me or screwed me. Afterwards I could say I should have had a backup X or should have planned Y ahead of time, but I didn’t see or do those things.

There are so many moving parts in a situation like this that it is impossible to think of everything, and the things you don’t think of will look obvious to people after the fact. The dumb luck situations that save you or screw you can be interpreted as inside knowledge. His bumbling actions afterward from the outside might seem like a “why wouldn’t he just do this instead” without thinking about how the mental toll, stress, and panic of being hunted by the whole country could degrade your judgement.
Because it paints the image that normal innocent people are getting shot up in schools and markets more often than they really are, primarily to push the narrative that guns need to be taken from people who have committed no crimes, to stop crime.

In reality, the majority of shootings are done by people who will find a way to kill someone, one way or the other. Whether it be with a legally-purchased gun, an illegally-purchased gun, a homemade gun, a knife, a homemade shank, a baseball bat, a vehicle.
It seems implausible that he was competent enough to locate his target and escape the day of yet so incompetent as to hold onto the gun. I think he definitely wanted to get caught.

I’m curious about what exactly prompted whoever called him in to become suspicious - was the profile released from photos good enough? Or was he acting suspiciously with his backpack?

I loved mathematica during university. Gorgeous math notation written with quick hotkeys, so I never needed Latex. And it computed in that form, so I never needed to code in ASCII.

Obviously not; if they're billing 72 hours a day, that's fraud.

Exactly right. After you've picked the envelope, you may be nearly guaranteed to be wrong. For example both numbers are large positives and you picked the smaller. Now you're almost guaranteed to guess larger, and be wrong.

But before you pick, your odds were still bigger than 50%. Just not by much.
Thanks.
I agree with you, although question the usefulness of going into what I perceive as a more metaphysical direction. In this sense it is trivial that nothing has intrinsic value. But putting on my more pragmatist hat, I would say that there is a sense in which basic survival is very much universal and unquestionable value. "I don't want to die", "I want to be happy", are pretty much safe assumptions to make across cultures and history (yeah, people commit suicide, hence it is not universal, but still a pretty safe bet and worth to consider 'universal' for all practical purposes).

How could we not, when the rich and powerful kill with impunity?
I think the thing most people are arguing with you about here is the distinction between, "it doesn't replace any tests" and "it doesn't replace all tests". Of course there will still be tests, but as other responses have been implying, there are entire classes of bugs that are runtime in Ruby and friends that are compile-time exceptions in other languages and those bugs would need to be weeded out in tests in Ruby, but they don't need to exist at all in other languages.

And, there are huge qualities of life and developer velocity benefits to the statically typed languages due to those.

I see a direct line, as someone who has advocated for hundreds of people seeking permanent birth control and in every instance, insurance (UHC primarily) attempt to avoid paying what they are legally mandated by the ACA to pay (100%).

Show HN: AI-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy for social anxiety
Hi HN,

We are building digital tools to help people overcome social anxiety.

I suffer from social anxiety and used to score in the “severe” category (LSAS in the low 90’s).

When I decided to do something about it, I learned that most people improve with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), even when self-administered without a therapist. Surprisingly, among those who failed to respond to SSRIs, 86% respond to CBT.

I gave it a try, and now I score at the low-end of moderate (LSAS in low 50’s). The difference is life-changing. Things that I used to completely avoid still make me a little uncomfortable at first, but I never worry about my ability to do them, and they’re not that bad.

My friend and I are building a digital adaptation of the CBT protocol, employing AI where applicable to enhance the experience in the absence of a therapist. The linked tool guides you through cognitive restructuring, which is one of the central tenets of CBT.

If you’re interested, check it out, take the LSAS questionnaire, see the first module, and give some feedback! TIA
> There's no such thing as a free lunch

This is a take that lacks any nuance and it doesn't even pertain to what anyone said. Typical for conservatives.

No one is saying we need to provide healthcare for literally $0 and pretend it has no costs. No, most realize our current cobbled together system with middlemen everywhere isn't working and it's costing lives. Why we can't have a single payer system that gets rid of the paperwork and makes it easier to bargain against prices is beyond me.

Sure, let's keep this system where you have to worry about in/out network hospitals, jump through a bunch of hoops to get treatment, and middlemen causing prices to surge. Madness.
Sharing a fact as a defence of someone (he has an IQ of 130 but did X) without having any basis for that fact is worth calling out.

Same way they said an active GitHub while the repo is the opposite of that.

If your argument is "This is weird because of X and Y and Z" but Z is false and Y is unsubstantiated then it breaks the argument.
I think the big thing is "you got less keys" not "you got a split ergo keyboard". I tried a 96% keyboard, but realized that I missed and used the few keys that I lost. I have since decided I want "all the keys" and found a 100% keyboard that I'm more than happy with.

If you are thinking of moving to another keyboard with fewer keys, you may want to to do something to keep track of if or how often you are using those keys that you'll be missing. Force yourself to use key combinations on your current keyboard instead of those keys specifically on your current keyboard and find out if it is doable before making the purchase.
He seems pretty rational.
The problem with tribal (political) identities is that to hold independent and opposing tribal ideologies (ie pro-choice but also pro-gun) is isolating from all groups. Thus, many people end up choosing to belong at the expense of the inconsistencies in the respective group they have decided to be a part of.

I'd say that to hold anti-capitalist ideals while liking Musk is reconciled through varying lenses. Musk can be idolized for his impact on the environment and moving various initiatives forward such as self-driving. One could argue that Musk is capitalist, but it could also be argued that Musk would drive these "good" initiatives even in a non-capitalist structure, thus the respect.

I'm not supporting musk, but merely illustrating how a certain level of rationalization can take place, counter to your insinuation that "opinions may not be thought through." It's the same thinking that also gives way when understanding the psyche behind various voters in this recent election.
