> I'm assuming you wouldn't say "pneumonia is socially constructed". If you did, I would read that as "pneumonia isn't real".

That's a complicated question. I probably would not say pneumonia is socially constructed. I would say that health insurance is, just like any other contract.

> I honestly don't know what you're trying to say.

Ok. Let's try again.

The science of mental health, like all science, rests on assumptions which are basically unscientific aspects of our cultural worldview. The creation of scientific theories is, after all, a creative endeavor and one cannot separate the unscientific assumptions that go into interpreting the data from the theory (see Heisenberg, "Physics and Philosophy").

Now, when studying things like physics this is a significant problem. We have multiple "true" theories which are ontologically and mathematically incompatible (see for example quantum mechanics and general relativity). This works in the physical sciences because truth is given a limited meaning, namely something that has predictive value. Thus two propositions can be both true, scientifically, even of they both can't be true logically. A simple way to paraphrase this is that scientific theories are merely models of behavior and are true to the extent that the model's behavior matches the observed behavior, but do not imply any deeper truth than that. (This is exactly parallel to correlation vs causation. Just because the behavior correlates does not mean that the model functions exactly like the modelled.)

This problem is manageable in the physical sciences but it is totally unmanageable when studying the human condition. The problem is that people exist in a social context and that is formative regarding the brain. Therefore, if you are studying mental health of middle class Americans, you have no real expectation that the findings will be perfectly applicable to, say, the aborigines in Australia.

This has some important ramifications. It means that the science can never tell us how culture fits into mental illness. The science has to start off with a assumptions about mental health and illness that are by definition cultural. These definitions and assumptions are not beyond question, and therefore the conclusions one can draw from the science is limited culturally, temporally, and geographically.

Or even better, I setup Chrome to use a referer of "google.com" for all requests to online.wsj.com--no paywall or need to search for headlines. I'm sure there are other ways, but the extension Referer Control makes this easy as can be: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/referer-control/hn...
According to what? You assert that the cause is "still somewhat mysterious" (you mean completely?) in the same sentence you claim the cause is biological. That's pretty contradictory.
100% agree. I could basically not fucking believe it.

>anonymity means they don't even have to consider a valid argument in their aggression

Is that just speculation, or did you have an example in mind when you said that? Not being a user of 4chan's /d/ board (believe it or not!), I am not familiar with the particular controversy referenced in GP's post. Not knowing what they were reacting to, and what the reactions were, I can't comment on whether there was any "aggression" without "valid arguments" (real or perceived), but I can not think of anything that could have been posted that would be genuinely worthy of concern (that was specifically enabled by anonymity).

>Sometimes race or gender or other feeling of competition are enough to make people feel threatened

Not sure if you're referring to the commenters or GP poster, but in either case, it's hard to see how any of those could be considered relevant to the question of anonymous commenting.

My guiding assumption here is that a free, open, unfettered exchange of ideas is a higher value than preventing feelings of offense or hurt egos.

This is really important. Creating a proper searching experience with auto-complete which works "just like you want" can be a very painful experience with ES, specially if you are new to ES. It bite me some time ago when I was trying to achieve just that.
> Increasing the supply of housing (by changing zoning rules) would tend to reduce the market rate for housing in SF.

This is not necessarily true. Housing prices don't fall uniformly in an area as more units become available, so existing residents may still be displaced. Also, more people may move from elsewhere to fill the vacancies provided by new units, driving higher prices for new units and making an area unaffordable for existing residents.
Is it just me or is there a lot of spacing in between lines? Every time I hit return, it feels like I've hit 3 returns.

Classic peak of the market bozo move. Comcast is massively overpaying for a dying business that will be valued at 1/3 this price in three to five years. I'd mark this equivalent to the HP / Compaq deal, and the AOL / Time Warner deal (in which Time Warner allowed a soon-to-implode dial-up player to eat them).

TWC has a mere $1b in cash, and negative $22.8b in net tangible assets. Comcast shareholders just bought a massive black hole.
Or cable is just a natural monopoly.
> There are many more opportunities for an attacker to reuse a stolen cookie.

Why would an attacker wait to use a stolen cookie? Does this actually increase the attack surface, or simply just put the bad guy on a shorter timetable?

Also every time someone visits your site you could delete their old token and save a new one. That way stolen cookies only last as long as until the page is re-visited.

> There are many more opportunities to exploit a CSRF vulnerability if users are always logged into the target site.

That argument is valid for most sites, even sites who's sessions only survive until the browser is closed. At this stage in the game it is barely a real argument as so few sites log you out within a reasonable time frame.

> Users might be under the impression that when they close the browser, they'll be logged out. Breaking this expectation can have privacy implications. For this reason, I think it would be good to have a "Keep me logged in" checkbox, even if it is checked by default.

Aside from banking sites, how many sites log you out right now when you close the browser? I cannot think of many. I'm all for having a logout button. I would expect public computers to be set up to clear the browser's history, cache, and cookies when it is closed like every modern browser supports.

> Many people, especially the poor, still use computers that are either shared (with family and/or friends) or public (schools, libraries and Internet cafes). Although these people probably only make up a small minority of your userbase, I think it's important to afford them no less security than you do your other users.

Most shared/public computers are set up specifically to delete browser information upon exit for this very reason. If you are going to design every website on the internet for the one or two places who have their machines set up horribly poorly, then you really are targeting the lowest common denominator.

Alternatively just add a logout button.
Among other things it would kill Google Fiber.
No it's not. You can have an idea of the general area where the cause lies without knowing precisely what it is.

For example, there are clear genetic factors in mental illness, which can be seen in the same way that genetic factors for any disease are studies. This doesn't tell you which genes cause it, let alone how they cause it, but it still tells you that it's a biological thing.
Polyfractal is right.

You can just google "elasticsearch rsync" to get information, and even scripts, that will do this for you. The thing is... you REALLY need to know what you're doing when you go this route.

Also, you can try the gateway feature. Gateway is actually pretty straightforward. Restore WILL be slow though. And for many scenarios ... it is not ideal. (You don't want to take a day, or even a few, to restore after a failure.)

I think the best advice is...

Update to 1.0.

Just go to 1.0 and do snapshots... you will save yourself A LOT of headaches.

With this announcement we as a community REALLY need to get behind Net Neutrality as much as we did w/ SOPA -- Companies like Google, Netflix, et al - should block all access to their sites from D.C. IP addresses as a protest to show them what 'Throttling' feels like.
> Some people have said Net Neutrality and putting the pressure on Netflix, which is Interesting; it's not clear the extent to which third parties like this are covered by said Act.

Why wouldn't it be? There is a market for residential internet service, but if Comcast wants to charge Netflix et al for bandwidth then there is also a market for that "service" where Netflix et al are the customers, and the merger would have quite a strong effect on competition and market power in that market.
I used to think the same thing. I have never been suicidal so I don't know from personal experience, but I recall reading something that helped me understand suicide as something more than self-absorption. That the pain of deep depression is so real and intense that it can be compared to physical pain, and when it gets strong enough, simply ending it becomes its own imperative. That suicide is like jumping from a burning building - it's hardly even a choice, the pain compels the body to do it.

To play devil's advocate, what it means is that Comcast has the better business model. After all, that's why Apple and Samsung dominate the cellular industry. iApps running on iOS running on an iPhone using an Apple A7 offers the ability to optimize the user experience and integrate the layers that vendors doing things piecemeal can't match.

If Netflix et al want to survive, they have to evolve from being mere middlemen, funneling someone else's content through someone else's pipes.
I'm rather unconvinced that the cryptocurrency folks (or at least large numbers of those who're following the movement) have grasped Alan Watts' meaning in that "money is pure abstraction".

Rather, what Watts is saying (as I understand it) is that money itself is a derivative of real wealth, it's the abstraction of wealth. It's a tokenization of wealth, but it isn't wealth in and of itself. What it is, principally, is an exchange mechanism, one which also, over short terms, tends to be reasonably consistent in value.

The crypto currencies suffer from the challenge that in order to be accepted, they've got to be acceptable. For national currencies, this is accomplished largely in taxes and petroleum transactions (both very significant aspects of the present financial system). Probably also reserve currency status, though I won't pretend to fully understand that.

I switched from Linode to Uptano[0] almost a year ago now. I heard about them here.

They don't have many of the features Linode, DigitalOcean, etc. have. But they've been super responsive to the (two?) questions I had. Their one ~$85/mo server replaced five Linodes I had. Better performance for less money. Though, as I understand it, Linode has upgraded their offerings since then.

The issue isn't that there are men who aren't good at public speaking too, but rather that speaker slots are still dominated by men and men are more visible in the tech community in general. Github is making an effort to provide a public speaking workshop specifically for women because of this.

> Note: the values driving this post are a respect for individual rights regardless of gender.

I don't see how individual rights has anything to do with this. Github is not obligated to provide a workshop for every person and Github employees have a right to create a workshop that targets women. Nobody is being prevented from running their own workshop or being forced to attend a workshop.

People disagree with that perspective because it implies that the brain is entirely deterministic biologically and has no plasticity. That you have no mental control over your physiology. That you don't have control over your attitude and outlook, etc.
That is not framing the question differently, that is asking an entirely different question. There are not an equal number of male and female developers so, assuming no additional discrimination occurs, we would expect there to be more male developer speakers than female.
For a website like a forum, you could go ahead and display the "New Post" textarea to guests and then prompt them for registration on submit.
I think that was covered by "we have varying levels of problems with them as a company." But way to cherry pick.
There are not. There are no conclusive genes or genetic markers for depression. All that is required for someone to be depressed is to self-report as depressed and experiencing those symptoms.
So, since there's really no difference between $10 for DO and $20 for Linode, what providers are out there that'll have a solid API or provisioning panel, a great network and great service? Doesn't matter if it's 50 bucks a month. Or 100. Anyone? What the heck do people use for business VPS hosting??

Most of what I've seen comparing any of these always brings up price, but that's like bickering over couch change if it matters to your business.
There's no practical reason why there needs to be say more than one team of cable network architects in the whole country. If an architecture works okay in Philadelphia, it should port pretty easily to Chicago. The stuff that needs boots on the ground, laying cable, doing installations, and servicing them, is already outsourced to local companies.

Just wait till Aereo gets screwed in their Supreme Court case. Then we really will be.

In fact no matter which way they rule in Aereo's case we are screwed. If they rule in favor of Aereo the content companies (Comcast owns NBC) will just start taking content "cable only".

> In fact its so brittle merely small time changes to a print statement has caused nearly a 8 year backward incompatible ecosystem which is still catching up.

Something which can be automatically ported with full backwards-compatibility for the last couple releases of the 2.x branch isn't a good example. You'd do better discussing the bytes / unicode growing pains since that may require a human to think about the problem.
Except people often have no choice about which ISP they can use, whereas people have at least some choices in the mobile phone space.

There are lots of American small kitchen appliances that pull more than 1100 watts, including kettles. Most outlet circuits are rated for 15 amps so it's not uncommon for some appliances like toaster ovens or vacuums to use 1800 watts. I think the reason most Americans don't own an electric kettle is that tea isn't nearly as popular as coffee, and most folks use a dedicated drip or single serve coffee brewer.

> What this tells me for the nth time, is that github as a company has their head wedged, and I would never want a job with them, they are clearly sexist, agenda driven, and whether explicit or not will almost certainly have quotas favoring women developers.

I like how you mix affirmative action quotas, sexism, and having an agenda all together as though Github is orchestrating some anti-male conspiracy.

1) Putting on a workshop for women on public speaking != hiring quotas based on gender
2) Excluding a dominant group from a workshop is not sexism, the dominant group is not having its collective power threatened in any way
3) There is nothing wrong with having an agenda, people and organizations have them all the time
The most valuable infrastructure that Comcast and Time Warner run is ye olde copper coax lines in the "last mile", often built a long time ago and at a large public subsidy (either explicit or implicit via a grant of monopoly). What little infrastructure investment they do make (eg, laying fiber) is a result of actual competition, which would be lessened by the merger.

By way of analogy, having clean water is important, but water infrastructure is not high-value-added ("buy Water Premium Max Plus! only 79.99/month!"); it's a basic utility. The alternative to Comcast isn't "no internet", it's a public utility wire-owner. Which would provide roughly the same level of service that Comcast actually provides, in the vast majority of areas.

And exploiting a monopoly on infrastructure is almost the Platonic ideal of rent-seeking.
I would love to see Google enter that fight instead of trying to regulate their competition away. Not because I'm that anti regulation, but because I don't appreciate the irony of Silicon Valley always bitching about regulation, but then demanding that the government create an artificial reality where owning the pipes doesn't give you a natural competitive advantage.

Rvalue semantics in C++11
It helps tremendously to know that in some languages, the words for "debt" and "guilt" are the same (in German, the word is "Schulden", as in "entshuldigung" meaning "excuse me").

If you're familiar with the Lord's Prayer, you should know that there are two forms of it in English: the Catholic ("forgive us our debts") and the protestant ("forgive us our trespasses"). Where again, the meanings of "debt" and "guilt" or "offense" are entwined.

Money-as-abstraction then has significance: money isn't true wealth, it's the representation of wealth, and that representation can be modified. Hence such confusions as "governments have to balance their budgets" -- not necessarily true as a governments can vary the value of money, either through inflation (fiat) or devaluation (specie). What the goldbugs fail to recognize is that when governments find themselves with debts they cannot repay (denominated in currencies under their control), they'll devalue those currencies. Regardless of the underlying standard. Look to the Roman denarius (covered by Joseph Tainter in Collapse) or the devaluations of British currency (detailed at length, as he does everything, in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations).

Happens so often - like executives can't do simple math. Example: I contracted at a mobile-handset company. Their best seller accounted to 40% of revenue. The CEO came to our site, gave a talk: you guys have to cut down R&D expenses, you amount to 20% of total R&D budget.

So, 20% of R&D yielded > 40% of revenue (more than one product came from our site). How is that a problem? I was flabbergasted. As a contractor I said nothing, but was astonished no one else spoke up either.
