> People tend to minimize the lethality of mental health problems.

My sister fatally overdosed on heroin in January of this year. She suffered close to a decade of a progressively worsening bipolar/depression/substance abuse loop, even after spending over a year in voluntary, in-patient treatment centers. Serious mental illness is no different than cancer. The trouble with mental illness is that it manifests itself in socially undesirable behavior. Drinking, drugs, erratic actions, not a visible tumor hanging off of an organ. The lack of compassion for those people with mental illness is one of the greatest tragedies of our society.
How shorter work day would eliminate any useless activities? Useless activities happen not because work day is too long but because work processes not organized perfectly. Shorter workday would not make processes any better, so the same percentage of time would be wasted.

> I don't know the system, but I'm sure it's already synchronous in that there are numerous receiver channels and their acquisition values are correlated with the illumination angle.

This is not "synchronous detection" in the way I meant it. I don't mean this as a put-down, but it may be instructive to Google "lock-in amplifier," a term I mentioned in my previous post.

All of your other concerns are addressed by appropriate choice of PRN code(s). Additional vehicles, which operate without the need for coordination, merely raise the noise floor. They do not "jam" each other. It should be obvious that a minimum S/N ratio is required for the LIDAR system to work and further that an arbitrarily-high number of LIDAR transmitters therefore cannot coexist. However, it is far from obvious (to me, at least without learning more about LIDAR and plugging in some numbers to a model) that a congested freeway of driverless cars would have "too many" LIDAR transmitters.
Events like this do bring schools to a stop. Sure, attendance still happens, but no educating happens. Other events cause similar results: prom, winning state in some sport, or lockdowns for various real and imagined threats.

Given that the stated purpose of school is learning[1], things that massively interfere with that shouldn't be taken lightly.

1. There are a lot of arguments to be made that this is really a much lower priority.

In a driver-less future, all cars communicate their intents to other nearby cars, stopping on a highway will be as safe as pulling over on a shoulder is today. It will feel dangerous, and it will be unsettling knowing cars are passing you by at speed, but the driver-less aspect of all cars ensures a high degree of safety.

That would be the result in the long term. But in this transition period TO driverless cars, I agree that stopping on the highway in your driver-less car is a big no-no.

Some people are similarly skeptical that migraines without auras are "real migraines," but once you explain that it's otherwise the same symptoms (headache, sensitivity to light/sound, nausea, vomiting) and treated by the same specialized painkillers, they'll generally take your diagnosis at face value. According to Wikipedia, a pretty sizable majority of migraine sufferers don't have auras. But it's a distinctive symptom, so it's well known.

I wonder if the reaction to schizophrenia is partly due to not having as strong an understanding of how to treat it, in addition to not knowing what it's exact causes are. Having a well proven solution to a problem seems to make it easier for people to accept that the problem really existed.
I think it's funny, mainly because I feel like I recognize many of the archetypes among people I know or have met. It's only a slight exaggeration of what it's like here.
It's clearly not just the male scent, because it gets cancelled out by the female scent. There's obviously more to this.
Heh, I learned a thing about a thing! :) Curious to know how so many quirks slipped through, though. Maybe I should do a PR on the tests for bugs that the browser vendors might not know about, e.g. https://gist.github.com/nolanlawson/8330172.
Slow drivers typically also think they're safer, because they equate speed to safety.
No he isn't. I suspect he's starting to correctly identify that Economics has about as much scientific validity as Astrology: they both have the trappings of science, but frankly, they're both full of unverifiable and unfalsifiable nonsense.

I suspect the only reason most people accept it is that they learned it at school so it must be true.
Was this inspired by a Less Wrong post[1]? I really liked it at first, but eventually realized it's almost completely inapplicable in real life (except possibly theological discussions).

For example, in this case, there are things well within the realm of physical possibility that would in fact change the mind of every single person "tarring and feathering" GitHub, such as Julie Ann Horvath and Melissa Severini publicly announcing this was all a hoax. And vice versa, of course.

Of course we all think that's unlikely happen, but the point stands that people on both sides of this discussion came to their beliefs through a combination of evidence and emotion, and could be dissuaded by the same; and your not-so-subtle suggestion that people on the side opposite you are being "irrational" is unfounded and in bad faith.

No. Bill Ackman was right. Herbalife is a terrible business. For reasons outlined in the OP link, it has seen growth - but is ultimately doomed. Specifically: when there are no new markets to enter; when every dupe has been duped.

Though, unfortunately, before it crashes entirely - those handful at the top will have their next big sham ready to seed & perpetuate into the world; and a significant number of the dupes who were duped before will be duped again.

And hence, the endless, relentless cycle of MLM. Despicable.

It's not only the application process. Some of these programs kick out some successful applicants in the first few weeks, further reducing the field from which they pluck these success figures.

To be fair, Code Fellow seems to be upfront about this, since only 88% of successful applicants actually graduate.

Edit: More related to your point above, they are also up front about previous degrees held. 82% of their students had degrees before entering their program.
The article is fluff and not very appropriate for HN, but the discussion turned out to be reasonably good.
When the day is artificially constrained, you have a good excuse to get rid of non-critical activities. It's like YC -- "meeting with investors for coffee" (or other good but non-key activities) is always viewed as "a good thing to do", but over the 3 months of YC you have license to tell them to wait.
I think it's important to distinguish between the use of SMS in two-factor authentication vs. single-factor. The author is referring to single-factor authentication in the form of SMS one-time passwords. He has some great points, but I don't think they discredit the effectiveness of SMS as a component of two-factor authentication.

But even the enterprise parts only have higher TDPs due to higher core counts - the cores themselves are the same as the consumer desktop parts, with a bit more cache thrown in and some transceivers to help scalability to even higher core counts that we don't want. Nobody is trying to design the fastest quad-core processor, let alone dual-core or single-core. No one is willing to commercialize a chip that is 10% faster at single-threaded tasks when it will be a fourth the speed at highly-threaded tasks, especially when the processor can self-overclock one core when it's the only one in use, thereby offsetting some of the core-count tradeoff.

I've found a good rule of thumb in business is that you can only be successful in the long run if your value proposition is a win-win-win for you, your suppliers, and your customers.

When a majority of your customers are being unknowingly screwed over as you reap a huge amount of unnecessary producer surplus, it's a losing proposition in the end. Companies like Herbalife can just do it on a scale where it takes a long time to fizzle out.

I don't understand why we're so hung up on trying to proactively create legislation around this. Why don't we let someone get maimed/killed first, and then go from there?

In the world of things, you can't foresee every possible outcome, and it's silly to draw up legislation, which has a nasty habit of becoming rather sticky, for something so potentially earth shattering.

Let it fail, turn it off remotely, and then we'll figure out who to blame and what to do next. For now, this tech is so beyond us, we don't even have a frame of reference for how to properly legislate it.
Considered, but not with any great seriousness until probably the last 12 months. I'm taking a wait-and-see. I think it's just due to more responsibilities/commitments and you naturally question your actions/motivations/decisions

I like Go for some stuff, but yes, it's pretty restricted. Even for the design goals that are lauded (simplicity, being boring as a virtue, fast compilation speed, no magic, concurrency built-in etc), they could have achieved them with a little more flair.

One could say that if we compare the team that worked on C and Plan 9 to the Rolling Stones, Go is like their nineties albums.
If a crime in fact occurred, a contract to cover it up is not valid.
Moisey, I suggest you review what actually happened. It was not 4 days of no response.

According to your own ticket system, the first abuse complaint came in "04/25/14 at 16:10" and the 50 complaints (I did not count) came in rapid-fire succession, several per minute. Do you want a screenshot? I did not see the auto-generated emails you sent till after the client's server was shut down.

I became aware of the problem Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 12:12 PM thanks to Hyperspin, which is when you shut down the server. Not sure of the timezone difference but where are you getting 4 days? Did you even read the tickets?

You can see my tweet on the 25th here:

"@digitalocean turns out, nothing to do w/ DNS. Account locked due to abuse." 12:43 PM - 25 Apr 2014

https://twitter.com/php_austin/status/459749518464937984

I checked your status website which said you were having DNS issues. This client recently dropped your DNS servers due to errors so that wasn't the problem.

Within a few minutes I found out the account was locked due to some images automatically pulled from "open graph" and Twitter meta tags. (In other words, images that were intended to be shared, but whatever that's another tangent.)

Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 12:44 PM told the client you allowed me to power on the server to delete the images. Then I had to upgrade MySQL because you didn't shut down the server properly.

Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 1:47 PM spoke with the client and he wants to delete the entire category of images so this would never happen again. All the images were in the same directory "rm -rf" was all I needed. So within about one hour of discovering there was a problem it was taken care of.

This was reposted on /r/programming so I have copied here my reply to that thread:

Hello everyone.

This is Matt Barrie, Chief Executive of Freelancer.com.

I see this has been reposted again in /r/programming. I think that we are being treated a little harshly here when the facts behind this case are not fully known, and nor are we able to provide them to you due to privacy issues.

Dustin did successfully withdraw funds the first time only a few days before. This has been omitted from his article.

On Thursday 24/4 he queued a substantially larger withdrawal for processing which was queued according to our normal timetable for Monday 28/4. This larger withdrawal triggered our KYC process (Know Your Customer) which required provision of identification. Documents were provided on this day but did not pass our process. I personally looked into this and it was for good reason that the anti-fraud team rejected them.

On Sunday 27/4, further documents were provided (still not completing the KYC process), but at the same time Dustin posted his article on Medium.com which blew up both here on Reddit, and HN.

By this stage it was early Monday morning here in Australia, and this issue was brought to our attention (thank you to those of you that emailed me). I personally looked at the accounts and was present when the team called (at about 7pm NY time) both Dustin (who didn't answer) and the employer to resolve the matter. The employer told our team "he does not wish to cooperate or assist us in any request" along with several expletives. We informed the employer on that call that in that case we were likely to refund the payments back to his credit card and that he would have to pay direct.

Our team then investigated the project itself- and became concerned enough with the nature of the project (which was against our Terms of Service) to cancel it, refund all the fees- for both Dustin and the employer- and refund all payments back to the employer's credit card.

I hope that you all understand that we have robust anti-fraud procedures in place designed to protect you in the event that your credit card is stolen. We don't subvert those processes because a post makes its way to Reddit or HN.

Over 5.8 million projects have been posted on Freelancer.com. We are a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. We are not in the business of "actively delaying payments to contractors". This is a ridiculous assertion from OP.

NO payment was delayed in the above process with Dustin. We process withdrawals for Monday EDT. We were attempting to resolve this issue Sunday evening EDT.

Both Dustin and his employer were, to say the least, unhelpful in getting this resolved.

Regards Matt

It doesn't even really have to be malicious so much as disinterested, which is how most of these types of workplace problems fester. People don't set out to actively create a caustic environment - they just don't want to be bothered with the tricky business of preventing one.
You said "fall down the stairs", which I addressed hours ago. Also, you aren't accounting for the hundreds of thousands of people injured and the millions of dollars of damage.

Discrediting the security of SMS tokens applies whether or not they're a single factor or part of a multi-factor system. If logging in to my account requires a password and an SMS token, and SMS tokens are so easily compromised, my account is effectively protected by only a password. While compromising the token alone doesn't give an attacker access to my account, I can't consider my account to be protected by multiple factors.
I was informed a few days ago that my 16 core Parallella has shipped; I had hoped, when I ordered, that it would come earlier in the year before exams but the fact that it shipped- several kickstarters which did not deliver have made me wary- has me ecstatic to hold it in my hands.

I have a great amount of respect for the Parallella team: to be able to kickstart a custom chip, that promises very interesting applications, and deliver it within several months of the estimated delivery date with the setbacks they have had is absolutely astonishing for me. While I can't comment on the quality of the final product yet, I would say that they know how to run an excellent campaign.
well, I appreciate your perspective.

I don't have any kids and so probably tend to take this type of thing much less seriously.

Well, if you look at cause of death, the first two are the big hitters in the US so that is part of the basis for more money. The history of funding treatment is pretty bad though.

It's not so much no power, it has been the lack of advocates because of the shame associated with all mental illnesses. A person with cancer can do the noble stand. A person with schizophrenia is much less capable of doing the needed advocacy. Things are changing as more people are pushing and not keeping quiet.

From a advocacy view, we better start putting this and brain problems in general front and center since we are living long enough that we need the understanding of treating the brain to use our longer lives well.
