Guess what? The NIMH has recently taken my position for the same reason:

You need to understand that psychiatry was never a science and is not one now. Don't take my word for it -- ask a psychiatrist. Ask Thomas Insel, psychiatrist, director of the NIMH, and the person behind the recent ruling described above. Or ask Freud, who eventually acknowledged that psychiatry cannot be a science.

Selection of those who are allowed to be most fecund seems to me like a natural extension of neo-darwinism. We've fallen in to a position where the human race has engineered in - by social and technical changes - the ability for those with low morals and low intelligence and low natural survivability to survive and reproduce. It's not like we've been neutral, we're already currently acting to alter the survivability of different traits in humans.

Luck doesn't seem to have a scientific basis. No one chose for the person to have an innate biological inability to produce healthy offspring whilst another person does have that ability [to a greater extent]. How is it not fair? Clearly being unfair is allowed as you said "assuming she can afford it", why should financial ability trump biological suitability? That doesn't seem fair nor sensible.

Will children born from parents who are otherwise unable to reproduce, due to their innate biology, contribute to global population increase over the long term? Well, yes, if we allow it to. Or as is suggested here, we choose it.

Use your shower water to water your lawn, make sure you're washing without chemicals that are going to cause a detrimental impact on flora, waterlife, groundwater and such.

To use your analogy I'd say choosing to enable the continued acceleration of global population increase is like legislating to guarantee the use of lawn sprinklers when there's a shortage of drinking water. Your analogy is twisted as without allowing this procedure to take place we will still have more people than we need to continue the human race [of course if we need more people in the future for colonisation of other planets, or whatever, then the argument may well change].
It's not exactly clear, but I'm assuming this is some kind of automated hard-linking utility? Or does it use its own special magic? (filesystem type restrictions?)
> Are there other paths of study relating to depression that have are gathering interesting evidence?

Yes. One of the most promising is Deep Brain Stimulation:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/magazine/02depression.html...

Quote: "As it turned out, 8 of the 12 patients he operated on, including Deanna, felt their depressions lift while suffering minimal side effects — an incredible rate of effectiveness in patients so immovably depressed. Nor did they just vaguely recover. Their scores on the Hamilton depression scale, a standard used to measure the severity of depression, fell from the soul-deadening high 20's to the single digits — essentially normal. They've re-engaged their families, resumed jobs and friendships, started businesses, taken up hobbies old and new, replanted dying gardens. They've regained the resilience that distinguishes the healthy from the depressed."

I hasten to add that DBS is nowhere near ready for the clinic -- it's experimental and risky. But it shows what can happen when people are willing to consider biological explanations instead of psychological ones.

I already have it without switching from the grids to the B&W images, just by concentrating on one and then the other I see fading aftereffects from the image I looked at before, takes a long time to fade to nothing.

Uncanny how reproducible that is. I need to look much longer at the coloured bars before that same effect starts to be present on the B&W image. It's almost as if the screen has burned in.

Nice post there. Easy to understand and it gives us a solid entry point.

I've been building my own backend for a couple of weeks (yes, very slowly) and I'm still wondering how to write proper test. Unit testing is a charm and there is nothing complex there, but mocking my dao package for example is a little harder.

I'm curious...why do you say it has stagnated? Seems to still be pretty popular...especially in the gradle and grails spaces.

I've done quite a bit of groovy and have really enjoyed it. After years of doing java, and then years of ruby, and then trying to go back to java, I really struggled with rationalizing the move to myself given the immense amount of extra work java required to do anything productive. Groovy made the jump palatable, and in many ways I prefer groovy to ruby.

That said, I haven't written any code which is particularly performance sensitive yet. However, groovy now has @CompileStatic, so you can statically compile the perf sensitive bits. I'm sure that doesn't completely solve the problem, but it's an option.

I really do hope Kotlin succeeds thought. Having something in the middle of groovy and scala syntax-wise with no performance concerns and the great java integration groovy brings would be spectacular.

The thing is that most new businesses fail anyway. Batshit crazy businesses fail at a higher rate, but some of them pay out so insanely highly on the investment that the overall outcome is slightly better than more sedate investment options.

Mind you, lots and lots of investors will go for the middle-of-the-road stuff. We just don't talk about it much. There's not much drama in "local citizen opens new franchise restaurant with bank loan", except for the local citizen.

Agreed that the quality of the school is really the fundamental determiner of grades. In the original comment I considered adding in a suggestion that a larger school could support more levels of classes, but it felt clunky so I just left it out. Of course, schools can be good and bad for many reasons orthogonal to their size. A small school might be a magnet school drawing the top students of a larger area. Or it might be a rural area which has a hard time recruiting teachers.

Any of us would behave the same way if we were born and raised poor. But becoming poor is different. It doesn't strip away all the culture and education your family already possesses.

This happens all the time for immigrants. Plenty of families come to the US with almost zero assets. But the ones who have the benefit of education and a culture of aspiration don't stay poor, and their children vastly outperform the intergenerational poor.
why use Fourier analysis when it is not a repreating signal? I guess any function can be approximated using Fourier series, but it spreads information that is local and localalizes information that is spread out. I think a wavelet analysis would be more appropriate -- or at least separate the features and then use FFT.

Great job tho!
The problem with that is every time you create a string you have to do the work to look it up in the cache. The benefit of the JVM's approach here is that it only bothers to deduplicate it if it is long-lived enough to be evacuated.
A tiny minority of all significant cases get cert at SCOTUS. So really, you're suggesting an even larger staff of policy researchers covering all the federal courts. Note, when you consider that, that those courts can barely keep up with their caseloads as it stands.

Really, the reason this doesn't already exist is because as far as the Article III courts are concerned, it does: it's called the legislature. The constitutional design of our government assumes that legislatures are far better fact-finding bodies than courts are.

Our balance of powers is especially sensitive to the issue that the courts, built up further than they are now, would in effect be a panel of unelected lifetime-tenure philosopher-kings.

This should have a wider audience than just people familiar with Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). SAT is the archetypal NP-complete problem (kinda like travelling salesman), but the details don't matter much for the article's key point:

The most fundamental challenge to emerge goes to the very heart of computational complexity theory. This theory is based typically on worst-case complexity analysis, which focuses on instances that are the most difficult to solve. Worst-case complexity analysis has proven to be quite tractable mathematically, much more, than say average-case complexity analysis. It also seems intuitive from a practical point of view; for example, a worst-case upper bound for an algorithm offers an absolute upper bound on its running time in practice. Thus, worst-case analysis is the standard approach in complexity theory. What has become clear, however, and also became painfully evident at the SAT workshop, is that worst-case analysis actually sheds very little light on the behavior of algorithms on real-life instances. For example, theorists have demonstrated that current SAT-solving algorithms must take exponential time to solve certain families of SAT instances. Practitioners simply shrug at such bounds, while they continue to apply their solvers to very large but practically solvable SAT instances. One role of theory is to provide guidance to engineering, but worst-case (and average-case) complexity seems to offer little guidance for problems that are difficult in theory but feasible in practice. What is needed is a new computational complexity model, which will capture better the concept of "complexity in practice.

Great insights.

In other words, we rarely care about an algorithm's worst-case performance. We care about average performance over the kind of problem it has to solve. This is terribly difficult to analyse from theory (partly because "the kind of problem it has to solve" is hard to define), so empiricism prevails - at least for SAT (see also: Analytic Combinatorics).
I think the "slowly" is the important bit here. BTC lost as much value against the US dollar over the last month as the US dollar's loss in purchasing power since 2005, and the US had the worst economic crisis in half a century and an awful lot of QE over that time period.

Of course, the dollar also didn't gain value in a wild speculative gold rush in 2013, but there's something to be said for stability in the means of payment.

Apple 'actively investigating' alleged hack that revealed nude celebrity photos
ListRunner (YC S2014), San Francisco And/Or Montreal - FULL-TIME (Can help with VISA)

ListRunner (www.listrunnerapp.com) brings project management to doctors in hospitals. It's hard to believe but doctors are still using paper and pager to manage their team and critical patient information. They're not even allowed to use email..

We're getting amazing traction - and excitement from doctors - and we are looking to expand the team with a few key people:

1) Backend developer: We use Mongo and Node. Lots of very cool challenge in building a robust and flexible API. Experience with real-time synchronization, AWS, security, offline apps and Angular.js is definitely a plus.

2) Product/UX designer: Building an app for doctors is a big UX challenge. They're extremely busy people and are used to have access to lots of information all the time.

3) UI Designer: Doctors are tired of those ugly 1980 computer systems still in use in hospitals. They want to work with the same kind of polished and beautiful apps that they've started using at home. We're looking to push the current healthcare design status quo to a new level.

4) ios and Android developers: We're looking for great ios/android developers with an eye for design who can take a leading role in implementing beautiful and snappy native apps.

5) Machine Learning / Data geek: Right now, 75% of critical patient information is trashed at the end of the day. That information is not going back in the EMR and is totally wasted. There are so many opportunities in helping finding better diagnosis, helping doctors be more efficient, helping the departments/hospitals save time and money, etc.

6) Front-end developer: We're looking for a great front-end developer/designer who love writing clean html/css code with an attention to details (We care about those pixels). Experience with Angular.js with an eye for design is definitely a plus.

----

We're a multi-disciplinary team (Two doctors on the team) solving a massive healthcare challenge. Doctors love ListRunner and they can't wait to start using it every day. If you're looking for an opportunity to use your technical and design skill to solve a real, practical and meaningful problem, please reach out to us (contact@listrunnerapp.com or to me directly at phzbox@gmail).

Sure you can consciously make an effort to drop the word I, and suggestive/passive words such as as "Think, Perhaps, May, Maybe, Should, Could, etc..." It is easier in writing, but even in real time conversations, one can pause before answering and think of which words to add/remove before speaking.

The added benefit of the Pause is that it makes you look more thoughtful, hence smarter.
So because Hitler wanted to wipe out Jewish people we shouldn't suggest that those with hereditary genetic diseases don't have children, or for example make genetic tests available to those who are [hoping to get] pregnant?

All of these are called eugenics (though the first is not really focussed on genetic traits); pretending that "eugenics" doesn't carry any baggage because of it's association with Nazi Germany seems pretty disingenuous.
