“I think that sexuality is only attractive when it’s natural and spontaneous.” – Marilyn Monroe
Our life does not always have to be planned. It is the spur-of-the-moment memories that we always remember, whether they were good or bad. Date Create is an online mobile application that will plan a date for you and your partner from start to finish. The idea ignited as a result of playing the classic “what do you want to do? No, what you do you want to do?” game.

First, select a date, time, and a budget before inviting a friend or a partner on a date.
Next, the Date Create algorithm will provide you options, free and paid,
where you and your partner will be able to swipe right to approve and swipe left to
decline on your individual devices, similar to the process in the mobile application Tinder.
Finally, we will provide you suggested packages from which you can approve and process your transaction.
Date Create is a simple tool which will create a memorable date for you and your partner within a few clicks.
Climate science is more than just arguing about anthropogenic global warming.

I entirely agree; but to the extent that climate science is being used to justify policy decisions with huge consequences, it is about anthropogenic global warming, since that's what the political debate is about.
Dwarf Fortress is Turing complete.

http://boingboing.net/2010/04/15/colossal-turing-mach.html
I don't think Turing-Complete is much of a barrier anymore. I could write a Turing Machine in QBasic, or Java, or MineCraft.

Ok, I couldn't do it in minecraft cause I don't play, but I know that it is possible to do in minecraft.

I could probably simulate a turing machine on a TI-81 graphing calculator depending on if it fit in memory.

Saying something is Turing Complete is kind of like saying "Could you write a Nintendo emulator" for it. Once you get beyond a certain level of computational power and memory, you can, even if it would be very slow.
No, not exactly.

As someone who has had enough back-to-back tourist visas to fill 2 passports, I can say that your outlook on visas is naive in the extreme. Be prepared to move along or go to quite some effort/expense to stay.

For an example of one of the subtleties I'm talking about: you need to show 400,000-800,000THB in a Thai bank account for a non-O (yearly renewal) visa. There used to be "visa agents" who would let you "borrow" this sum just long enough to flash to immigration officials. Having learned of this, the government mandated that the cash must remain deposited for 3 months. It's purpose is obvious and I can tell you that it's strongly enforced.

Another not so subtle point is that, if you get back-to-back tourist visa, you'll be visiting the border at least 6 times per year and consuming 24 passport pages per year. Passport reissue pretty much requires you to fly home.

Education visas require proof of enrolment in a real institution, which is also quite strongly enforced. There's a 4 year limit on renewals and you must renew out-of-country every year.

Getting the picture yet....? Short term tourist visas are deceptively easy. Everything else isn't.
This seems fairly superficial. I suspect that if you factored in where people are living (suburbs versus urban areas), age would seem to make less of a difference.

I'm barely within the 18-25 range, and I walk everywhere. I live downtown and don't drive, and I suspect that I get far more exercise than a middle-aged person who lives in the suburbs and drives to work, the grocery store, and wherever else they need to go.

The article comes off very much as old people wanting to look down on the habits of the young, but I very easily feel the same way about suburbanites who drive into my neighbourhood, almost kill all the pedestrians at cross-walks, and block up the streets by milling about and walking as slowly as possible from the parkades to the restaurants.
You know, I'll take you up on that. Is @bunsen Twitter? My family will never move--I've come to peace with that. So it'd be nice if I could at least tolerate Miami a bit better and maybe seeing it with someone from the HN community is what is required.
Matt Lieberman's Social: Why our brains are wired to connect
The commenter claims to have lived in Thailand for 14 years and the OP just dismisses his points out of hand. Kids these days.
I feel like the core criticism here isn't necessarily of structure itself, but that the type of structure applied when creating the DSM-V is not necessarily a helpful structure. Grouping things into neat categories and assigning them a name is useful in the case where structure actually helps patients, but it's possible to harm them just as much if it goes beyond being a diagnostic tool and rule of thumb.

I don't think the DSM-V protects against the problem you observed when seeing a psych, either. I saw one a while back who did believe in the DSM-IV (V wasn't out at the time) and his approach was still 'it sounds like you fit the clinical definition of this; I can prescribe you this medication'. The diagnostic process was, ultimately, 'if this medication helps you probably have this condition'. I think it's reasonable for that to unnerve you, but that's really just a symptom of how difficult it is to actually draw concrete, verifiable conclusions about this stuff.

Many of the conditions described in a tome like the DSM-V as a singular condition end up having wildly varied symptoms and there end up being treatments that only work for one subset of people with the condition, while another treatment only works for another subset. Some people who have a condition only show a tiny subset of the symptoms. I think it's reasonable to look at that and ask if some well-meaning people have gone overboard in an attempt to label and categorize everything.

On a related note, there are many marginalized groups out there that feel victimized by the authors of tomes like the DSM, because it often classifies things as 'disorders' that ought not necessarily be a disorder. Those with unusual sexual orientations, gender identities, or social habits are among the people who at one time or another have been considered mentally deficient or mentally ill due to classification. I don't think the people authoring those classifications necessarily intended to harm those marginalized groups, but that often IS the result.

And where did I ever say that challenging yourself is not healthy? It seems that you went on a tangent from the start (the math and reading examples were clearly perversions of my original argument). Is your tactic now to gradually water down your argument until we arrive at something so non-disagreeable that I will just sheepishly agree, wondering what kind of misunderstanding lead us to this point? The original claim was that; assuming that a low-carb diet is superior to a more generic diet, it is better to use such a diet rather than simply doing something harder that yields the same end result, simply because of the attitude of "no pain no gain" (notice this last phrase. It describes a challenging activity that is also not enjoyable). So, no. I don't find value in challenging myself in masochistic ways. I might build character by hopping on one leg to work each day, but I'd rather spend my time in other ways, which may involve challenging myself in ways that also yields other rewards

I've actually had pretty outstanding results using heightmaps created using perlin noise to create tile maps. Quite natural looking, ocean to beach to jungle to forest to mountain transitions. Then use another dimension of perlin noise to generate other features such as boulders and trees.

The problem with conventional editors is that it takes a great deal of effort to make a convincing looking world. Sit down and give it a serious go with any tile editor and you may find yourself agreeing with me after a few hours. Look at examples of maps generated with any tile editor for further evidence of this viewpoint.

As a struggling writer, I value some amount of vitriolic/venom/sarcasm as color that can make an otherwise dry post read better; pure bland information alone is hard to digest without sugar or even grapefruit bitterness. I'm not able to do it very well, so I don't try, but I see value in those that can. The commenter's post was informative, colorful, and tasteful in my opinion, but I understand there are also people out there who are extremely sensitive and easily offended...like say those who find many flavors offensive and prefer blandness.

But as for my original point, I would always trust the snarker in this case over the harmonious river crab: based on my experience, the former's information is actually more useful than the latter's. Call it an imperfect generalization.
This book contains research that measures activity in the regions of the brain during social activities. For example, rejection registers in the same brain region as physical pain and except it can be more intense.

Also he reports that kids who have trouble with a subject are able to learn it if they are made to teach it. Teaching engages our social brain while studying a dry topic does not.

In programming, pair programming, seems like a way of engaging the social regions of the brain to do the programming work.

Are there other techniques people use to engage social brain regions in programming?

Nobody has yet given feedback on your landing page for Tubelytics (1), where you said only one person signed up from the HN post.

From my perspective there is simply nothing there(2), and 5 seconds looking at a static page is just not enough information for me to make a decision. That decision is not just to give you my email address, but to "sign-up", which is a huge step too far.

At the very least I need a "find out more" option, and I'd need that without having to give you my email address or other details.

You clearly write very well, so why not tell the Tubelytics story underneath the landing page. Let me scroll down and read the story, see the screenshots, hear about the use cases and experience the success stories.

By the time people get to the end they should know what the product is, how awesome it will be for them to use it, how much it costs and whether or not they will buy.

(Advanced) Ideally I could play with the product and even set it up with my youtube videos(3) without logging in, and once I experience the product then I can save the data by creating an account and, more likely, pay you.

So rather than not getting an email, perhaps there is a better way to get a paid sign-up.

I read this piece as using the "what if the DSM was a novel" part mostly as a jumping-off point to satirize how we treat the idea of happiness and normality, rather than being explicitly a criticism of the manual itself as a diagnostic tool.

A "weak interpretation" of the DSM where it's a collection of clustered symptoms, together with some advice about what treatments appear to have worked or not worked in the past for them, wouldn't really run into that. But some people do seem to have a stronger interpretation where the manual acquires a normative/definitional component, in which it's supposed to define the line between "mentally ill" and "normal psyche". Then you get into a huge amount of uncertainty that we still have over the etiology of any of these conditions, plus political battles over what counts as normal in the first place, the long fight over whether homosexuality should be included being probably the most famous example. Occasionally legal status can even be tied to being diagnosed as "mentally ill", which is where it starts coming closest to the dystopian-novel feel, although that may be the fault of legislators more than psychiatrists.

I guess the part of this article that's most explicitly a critique is this:

> DSM-5 seems to have no definition of happiness other than the absence of suffering.

...but that only really applies to certain ways of using the DSM, the weak pragmatic one not being among them, since it would recognize that treating acute suffering is only a small component of human psychology in the more general sense.
You can do some of it via BGP, which is a standard method for handling routing once you become any sort of server provider with multiple bandwidth providers. It is builtin to some Juniper devices already, for instance: http://njetwork.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/mitigating-ddos-att...

There are other ways to do it via BGP also. Plus there is null-routing, bandwidth limiting, etc.

Heh, you have not lived until a stale NFS mount takes down your whole server. Trying "sudo umount" on it, the umount command will not return and even "sudo kill -9" can't stop it[1]. A soft reboot can't fix it either; "sudo reboot" will hang the whole machine waiting for that NFS mount to respond to some deep kernel I/O call.

JP Morgan 'may pay record $13bn fine'
>consumers and advertisers interests are aligned: consumers want the best service they can find and advertisers want to give it to them.

Huh? Advertisers want to make as much money as possible. Consumers want to pay as little as possible for the best goods.

This is a fundamental conflict for a company that has no way to add value for the consumer.

First? google only displays ads from companies that pay them for ads. Next? they order those ads by how much money they can make from those ads.

Do you really think that how much a company is willing to pay to get a consumer to see an ad has anything to do with how good of a deal that product is? If anything, the relationship is going to be inverse. I'll pay you more for a high-margin customer than a low-margin customer.
If anyone wants to Google more about the book, it might help to know the actual book is the "DSM-5". They have discontinued the Roman numeral scheme in the latest edition (released this year), but some still use the old way.
i don't really disagree with you, but it seems to me that the problem is that there are good doctors and crappy doctors. DSM-V seems to be a side-issue; it's just a tool. arguing about it seems to be the psychiatric equivalent of criticising programming languages...

(i got a second opinion from someone who spent much more time talking with me, understanding what was happening, and discussing possibilities. he used DSM-V as a framework that allowed him to structure things. that was all. he was awesome and i was happy with his decision. and that's because he was a good doctor, not because of DSM-V. but as a good doctor, he wasn't discarding a useful tool for "religious reasons")

[edit: all the above is necessarily simplified; i now feel a bit guilty in portraying the first doctor so negatively. there's clearly factors like client-doctor "fit" involved, too.]

I've observed the same effect. Until very recently it was easy for me to get a quality submission on the front page; I've done it many times. It's getting a lot harder to do lately. And the difference I've noticed is that even when a story goes to #1, it drops off to the second page a lot more quickly and there is less engagement.

I have no way of knowing, but I suspect this is an effect of pg & co. making adjustments lately to counter abuse of the system.

The problem is that psychiatrists aren't really interested in much other than prescribing medications. Therapy is left to those with degrees in clinical psychology or social work.

And from what I have experience with--the eating disorder community--many professionals actually discredit the DSM's categorization (though it has much improved in the DSM-5) because of its insistence on weight for diagnoses of anorexia nervosa. But great American insurance often will pay for nothing if the patient does not have either AN or BN leading to patients being "not sick enough" for treatment when really, they need it as soon as possible for recovery to be most successful.

The feature detection mantra is true for you and me, but it's a leap to say you can apply the same tactic to a huge site like Google. Google isn't stupid, if they UA sniff, you can bet they have good reasons.
> but he then diagnosed me with something and prescribed me a drug. when i asked why, he said i should trust his intuition

DSM or no, too many doctors prescribe medication off-label. People with one of the personality disorders get a diagnosis and then some semi-random medication with some experimental[1] psychotherapy. All the clinicians disagree about what the treatment should be, but they see that as a feature of the patient's illness. Thus, if the patient is doing exactly what Dr A wants (but not what Dr B wants) Dr B will say it's the patient's manipulation which is part of the illness, and not that it's just a conflict among the team

I'm not sure how it works in the US, but some psychiatric diagnoses can be used to detain a person in hospital against their will. There's no court process, no judge. There are some protections, but these are not great.

Uh, I didn't "choose" to live there, considering I was a kid. That doesn't change the fact that most of the midwest is sparsely populated and has little to no food selection. The place I lived as a kid was still a city, despite your claim that "any midwest city" has better dining than the biggest city in the nation.

We have plenty of food close to the source here in nyc, too. Try union square on a saturday, or any one of the many places that makes things from local ingredients. It's actually much more common to see that here than the midwest. Plus, there are tons of different ethnic food places that aren't even available in less diverse states.

There's also this thing called "the Atlantic ocean." Good luck getting fresh sea food where you live, if being ~close to the source~ is so important to you.
