Well, in a sense, most of us all only know each other through our comments, and that's all we can ever base an assessment like this on. By proxy we have to assume that when people's inner thoughts leak out into the Internet on a forum like this (and in a sustained enough way to make them a top-100 karma earner) that their aggregate corpus of comments will be a reasonable insight into who they are.

So for all purposes that you, I or Watson can demonstrate, "do you think X is Y" and "do you think X's comments show Y" are functionally the same.

I just checked what Watson thinks are my needs. Apparently I don't have many, and everybody on HN has an extreme need for Challenge.

Oh, nice. I'll definitely look at this.
I took a brief look at your second link and found this:

"There's no sensible reason to expect that, because all humans faced nearly identical selective pressures until the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago, and there hasn't been enough time for much evolution since."

The first part is very, very, very likely wrong, the second part is completely known to be wrong.

He also starts out by committing Lewontin's Fallacy.

"Oh, the Ashkenazi intelligence thing. Good childrearing! Generations of educating kids well, because of putting a very high value on education, both because of religious requirements and because of the economic niche they got slotted into by European nobility. If there are a set of alleles Ashkenazim have that the rest of humanity doesn't that are plausibly linked to intelligence, I've never heard of them."

"Anonymous" also has an answer (1 May 2013) that is much better.

I share deep concern about police militarization and police brutality. These problems have been raised for years, particularly in the context of War on Drugs, but also in larger context of alienation of population from the government, and were largely ignored by the wide public, happy to be "tough on crime" and laughing at those libertarian idiots with their obviously exaggerated concerns. It is good thing that the topic finally starts to enter the public conscience and that people start to realize there should be strict limits to government power in general and the police power as the most frequently encountered one in particular. I share the sentiment expressed here: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6557 about the deep problems that exist and I think it's good people start to realize these problems exist. I think also here: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/03/framing-for-light-inste... it outlines some of the problems people need to be aware of when looking for solutions.

But when I read recent reports about arson, looting, windows smashed, trash cans overturned and lit on fire, businesses destroyed, police officers assaulted with rocks, explosives and firebombs, millions of damages caused, when I read about "burn that bitch down" - I think maybe this particular instance is not what I want to be part of at all. Maybe associating with this wouldn't do as much to combat either public perception of police needing to be tough or any particular prejudices.

And then I read something like this: http://reason.com/blog/2014/12/10/a-college-president-had-to... and this https://twitter.com/onekade/status/543202210516303872/photo/...
and honestly, I don't know what to think.

> If Hughes doesn't want to subsidize a money-losing institution with a declining and aging readership, then isn't it his prerogative as an owner to shake things up?

Sure, just as if he can't sell his particular ideas to his staff, its there prerogative to leave. Of course, if he has spent two years "cultivating" them and then is surprised when there is an exodus -- even after having been specifically told that that would be the result if the editor that he replaced left -- then clearly his work at "cultivating" his staff is pretty good.

And if he has that little understanding of what motivates a fairly small group of people he actively interacted with for an extended period of time, one might also wonder how good of a grasp he has of what motivates the audience he is seeking with TNR.

I'm not German, but I understand Germany is very strong in the personal rights department and have a serious separation between government and state, which minimizes the influence of the gov-of-the-day on business matters -- maybe I'm wrong here (again: not German), but I understood Merkel's government freaking out about the possibility of Snowden asking asylum in Germany because, despite the governmental dislike, it was a State affair and they couldn't do nothing to prevent it if he reached German territory.

Anyway, I feel Germany is a wonderful country and this kind of marketing is somewhat of a international recognition for that.
It's arguing that poor palatability may have been confused for high satiety. Have you ever eaten a boiled potato with nothing else on it? It tastes terrible. After a couple of bites, you don't want any more. That is not the same thing as satiety. The starch in potatoes is also digested very quickly, so it doesn't keep you satiated for long unless consumed with fats.
This was on a HN a while ago... not sure if all victims are "legitimate" and confirmed.

That's a good book, but a bit advanced. A little bit easier is Osborne's Introduction to Game Theory.

On the heavier side, Game Theory by Tirole and Fudenberg is used in a lot of graduate economics programs.
Thats certainly possible, although we've done our best to minmise it.

We have coldlogik water cooled racks which almost eliminate hot spots. The other thing to note is that 4000 drives fit into less than 7 racks. (yup, I was surprised too) so they are all in the same place.

We also have two transformers, just for us, with lots of sexy power smoothing (but no UPS, and yes that's a bad thing.)

It could be the raid enclosure its self, that might be part of the problem. However they should be identical, with the same firmware.

This doesn't solve the information asymmetry (and I don't really think you can solve the information asymmetry short of getting an MD yourself). What it does is abstract it behind tables of scores but at the end of the day, the patient still needs to trust that the system is logical and that the compiled data is accurate and then somehow bridge the generalized case of the compiled data to his own case which is probably the trickiest part for somebody without medical training.

Maybe you should just trust your GP on this one. Or if you think you cannot, maybe find a healthcare system that aligns the incentives of your GP with your well-being.
Yeah at first its a lot to read but at least it gets to it at the end :)

> As someone not in the business of tech or journalism I'm left to wonder why Hughes didn't anticipate the editorial staff's reaction to Foer's firing.

Especially after he was pretty directly told by one of the senior editors about earlier appearances that Foer might be on the way out that "For a while there it seemed like Frank was leaving and us senior editors were like, I guess we’re leaving, too!"

I mean, there's one thing about missing subtle clues, and there's another about being hit over the head with a clue-by-four and still managing to be surprised.
So? Why are people so fixated on insulin?

Because insulin regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood to skeletal muscles and fat tissue and by causing fat to be stored rather than used for energy[1]. Accordingly the body's insulin response has a massive role in weight management, and certain foods invoke a greater insulin response than others.

You're one of those "calories in - calories out" guys, I take it?

That website is a perfect example of design over function. Irritating.

After watching that animation, I'm treated to one line about what happened in 2006.. no more information. No link to an article. Nothing.

So I don't really know what happened in 2006. But the site looked pretty.

Why not link to an article about the actual strike?

> but the program which gets deeper in the movement tree, should always win

It doesn't always work like that. Usually, since examining, the whole move tree is very expensive, heuristics tend to kick in at various points providing assessments for positions (thus helping to prune the tree). It is quite possible to land in a position where your set of heuristics is not quite right.
You just never know, do you? ;)

Why ask for the doctor's opinion about the data, and not for the data itself?

And what's the punishment if the doctor's estimate is wrong? Or he/she is lying?

Doctors have enough shit on their plate, we simply need the access to the hospital data with the doctor names attached.
IPv4 space is officialy small now :)
The article suggests that SpaceX does not use specialized, radiation hardened onboard computers, but rather they use triple redundant off-the-shelf computers.

Why wouldn't they use radiation hardened computers, though? Are they that much heavier and more expensive than the more commonly available components? Out of a $40 million spacecraft, the difference of a few thousand dollars or even a hundred thousand dollars seems rather trivial, in exchange for a more reliable avionics system.

Not much information about the CPU. It says only "ARM Cortex-A9 quad core @ 1.6Ghz". Makes me worried it's again one of those Allwinner or Rockchip cases. In other words, a lot of cores, high frequency and low performance. Number-marketing.
I just wrapped up a graduate level course in cryptography and the Khan Academy videos and exercises went a very long way to help me grok the math needed to understand the fundamental math. Good exercises on there to explain why probability distributions can break a cryptographic scheme. Very good video explanations on Diffie-Hellman on that site.

That's bullshit. I've clarified myself, so you're now deliberately misinterpreting my words and presenting false choices. You can't tolerate a differing opinion and have to resort to namecalling and specious claims.
Didn't work for me either. After I refreshed the page, it did.

Perhaps would-be surgeons ought to have their manual coordination assessed before they commence years of expensive training. The irony is that for my father's generation, in England, prowess on the rugby field was considered important in getting into medical school. (And that might actually have been a good thing. I suspect top athletes, musicians and surgeons all possess the same talent which would cease to be a 'talent' if only we could explain it.)
>It's arguing that poor palatability may have been confused for high satiety.

I know that. And I am saying they are basing that on nothing. They just said "the data is less important than what we think the data should look like based on our feelings".

>Have you ever eaten a boiled potato with nothing else on it? It tastes terrible

Yes, they taste fine. Obviously they taste better with salt and pepper and butter, but they are not unpalatable without them. Have you ever eaten boiled pasta with nothing else on it? How is that more palatable?
Competitive debate is oration and rhetoric. It isn't necessarily pure logical argument, one employs theatrics and logical fallacy where they can get away with it. It is about winning, not shedding more light on the truth.

AFAIK there aren't any other languages implementing scientific experiments, although there was a recent article about a port of the PlanOut interpreter to Go [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8723536] -- so maybe that's what you are thinking of?

We have been doing a lot of recent development on the PlanOut language and interpreter itself, and hadn't really emphasized that part of PlanOut was first open-sourced. URX's ongoing port of Go prompted me to improve the documentation for the interpreter, and also open source parts of the React-based editor we use to develop PlanOut experiments at Facebook.

>"Idiomatic" in whose opinion?

That's the point I'm making. People constantly dismiss the results they don't like as "unidiomatic" and embrace they ones they do as "idiomatic".

>is that other people really do work through looking at the source code "on an individual basis, one at a time."

Except that people don't bother adding them, so your reasoning for why isn't relevant. If you want to claim the shootout is useful for this, you need to allow for grouping benchmarks together to be presented against the "standard" ones.

I agree that the lifelock link was not impressive, but in the second link (search for "My third topic") there are significant examples of identity theft that would have far-reaching consequence such as:

| "Victims are often scarred emotionally. They feel violated and helpless -- and very angry. I've heard people use the word "rape" to describe how they feel. "

| "A search of his SSN showed he was wanted for a crime in the Bay Area. He was transported from San Diego to San Francisco and put in jail. It took him 10 days before one of the officers believed him, took his fingerprints as he had requested all along, and realized they had the wrong person."

| "when the imposter is working under the victim's name and SSN, and the earnings show on the victim's Social Security Administration record. We learned of one such a case that had been going on for 10 years. The imposter obtained the victim's birth certificate, a public record in California. And even when the victim acquired a new SSN, the impersonator was able to obtain it shortly thereafter. Victims of employment fraud often must deal with the Internal Revenue Service because IRS records show they are under-reporting their wages."
No, it's not Rumsfeld doctrine; it's military industrial complex, whose goal is to sell as much military technology as possible (by using tax payers money).

This is not achieved by putting off fires, but rather by adding more oil to it; something that's been happening since even before W. Bush, and creation of ISIS (aka AlQuaida) is a great success on their part.
This article seems to jump to some wild conclusions and equates the right to be forgotten with widespread censorship of history a la what happened with Google's foray into China. And all this due to a European plot to attack and degrade US internet companies.

The article reads as a Fox News style opinionated fear piece, devoid of meaningful sources for any of the main claims and cherry picking data in order to fit a particular view point and scare others into agreement.

That said, the Spanish decision is idiotic and has it's roots in corruption and greed. It seems those two commodities are in ample supply on both sides of the pond.

1) Carefully choose the people that are going to sit next to you whenever "the big thing of your life" is going to happen.

2) ALWAYS, but ALWAYS use contracts, even when doing something together with your relatives, long-life friends and "that guy from university which was ever helpful".

3) Think you're worth more than you're getting? Ask away.

4) Learn to accept critique and not dismiss it. Accepting it and making efforts to improve on its basis is the way towards personal (and professional) growth.

5) Nobody is always right, learn how to gracefully lose a dispute.

6) Take time for yourself, don't rush head-first into any opportunity, don't accept every invitation, learn how to refuse. This will save you time, headaches and integrity.

There was a military saying once:

We should have the opposite

"No matter how smart it is, if it doesn't work it's stupid"

The US war machine is working brilliantly on the tactical level. And yet there is total inability of the military brass and the administration to deliver tangible geopolitical results. No idea why this is, but the war on terror is longer than WWI and II combined, and the world is quite possibly a worse place right now than in 2001.
