I generally use newsletters as a filter. There is often way too much information to subscribe to in an RSS feed. Whereas if it is a curated newsletter then it makes for much better digestion.
There is also the benefit of it not changing during time. I know if I've read it or if I've only come so far through it. It allows me to digest it at my own pace. I also separate out all my newsletters / to read articles into a specific folder in email. So it's not too unlike an RSS feed

On the creating-art side: artistic works are tricky to sell compared to problem-solving goods (try defining the benefits vs features of, say, a print of Wheat Field With Crows), and it's a field where demand is frequently outstripped by supply.

I've worked in movies for 20 years and those are the two biggest problems that keep hitting me.

On the helping-artists side: There's plenty of space within the film world for startups, and plenty of startups or small tech companies. Most of them are hardware-based, though.

Well so he says, but is it useful? When downvoting means two different things, it is hard to discern what is meant. I usually vote with 'helpful'/'I learnt something new' and 'not helpful'/'wasted my time in a mean manner'. I also don't see how one could only want comments one agrees with at the top - you learn less, and there might be less of a discussion. (Maybe I misunderstood pg's intention here?)

One could argue for another voting just for agreement/disagreement that wouldn't impact the positioning and colour of the comments, because seeing HN's opinions is also interesting. It would however add another layer of complexity.

The problem is amplification of negative emotions. People are mimetic animals and when negative emotions are displayed publicly they are copied and they spread. People intuitively adopt to that and are very careful when in public (especially speaking in public) - but on-line they somehow don't feel the same pressure.
This is hard. It's something I struggle with because once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty easy to convince other people to like you; it takes time to learn that too, but once you have the patterns down it's not that bad.

What is infinitely harder is /actually/ respecting other people's opinions and beliefs, rather than simply making them think you are. These aren't the same thing, and are easy to confuse, in my experience. Be really careful, on your journey, to be watchful of that. I screwed that up and am still trying to figure out where the line lies.
hmm Well considering heroine use has doubled in the passed 5 years, and doubled from 2012-2013, and that three-quarters of all heroine users now started out by getting addicted to their prescribed pharmaceutical equivalent, due to the delay in the administration cracking down on the pharmaceutical pill farms who incentivized the healthcare system to hand these out like candy with anyone who used the word "pain, back pain or anxiety", I would say, yes, psychiatric drugs and painkillers, are causing more harm than good. We are in the middle of the biggest heroine epidemic in U.S. History.

The Huffington Post has three articles in 2015 detailing this epidemic and providing the statistics on this for anyone interested. This one is the most in depth and compelling I have seen so far: http://projects.huffingtonpost.com/dying-to-be-free-heroin-t...

The best part is there is a compelling treatment, but it is stigmatized in favor of abstinence/cold turkey teaching. Of course there is no data to support this is more effective (in fact a disturbing amount of data to show otherwise) but alot of politics of holier than thou to support the failing system.

This is a product of the wrong people continuously trying to redefine masculinity to fit their own agenda, and most men are confused, shy, unattractive, have low self-esteem, are passive, etc. as a result of this.

These parties would rather men kill themselves over their identity crisis than those men rediscovering true masculinity - because they're afraid of the bad part. It's just the nature of things, Masculinity and Femininity both their good and bad parts, but we only shun one.
> It's okay to express your feelings. It's okay to be vulnerable.

I've thought about this a lot, and I'm afraid its not that simple. In competitive, male societies where a certain bluntness is socially accepted, you cannot unilaterally change the rules. You'll be a welcome victim to the schoolyard bullies. You'll be setting up your son for psychological damage.

Having friends, doing sports, enjoying nature, taking care of your appearance etc. are probably more effective in balancing a boy's psychology.

If you don't have a cute girl's pretty face, nobody will white-knight on your behalf or care about your feelings - instead, people will be embarrassed.

Hi all of you,

I want to have a notebook where I can run

- Spark/scala (like in zeppelin)
- Python (Like in Ipython/Jupyter)
- R

How can I do this ?
You can also have an array of &Bar: http://is.gd/on9Joc. The difference between &Bar and Box<Bar> is that the latter is an "owned" pointer, and the former is a "borrowed" pointer. (By the way, I love that Rust playpen you linked to. Thanks!)

The original comment I replied to said that trait objects (e.g., &Bar) are implemented in the same way as typeclass instances. At first glance, that seems true: both pass around a vtable and determine which function to call at runtime. However, Rust attaches the vtable to the trait object pointer itself, while Haskell passes the vtable (method dictionary) around as a hidden argument. That seems like a trivial implementation detail, but it has an effect on the language: in Rust you can create a list of trait objects, while in Haskell, you can't have a list of typeclass instances.

It's true that you can emulate the Rust implementation in Haskell: under the hood, the existentially quantified Barrable contains a pointer to an instance of Bar as well as the dictionary of Bar methods, exactly like Rust's fat pointer representation of a trait object. But since the rest of the language expects method dictionaries to be passed as separate arguments, you have to wrap and unwrap values of type Barrable in order to use them.

This is a great example of how implementation choices influence language design, which is a topic I find really fascinating.
> "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them."

The problem with this version is that it requires interpretation of another person's intentions and attitude - something we're exceptionally bad at and which is causing a lot of drama simply through misinterpretation.

The version that says "Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself." does not have this problem. Furthermore it scales better because you have to perform the underlying calculation only once as opposed to once per encounter. I get that this approach does not provide any guidance for handling abusive people, but I would argue they can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In all other cases, treating people like you would like to be treated should be a reasonable default.
Until you respond to the very good counter arguments brought forth about your linked source, you have nothing to back up your claim that the US has low corruption. Why are you still calling it a "low corruption index"? Please allow your viewpoint to be challenged by arguing rationally rather than just repeating the same falsehoods.
This has been discussed before (well, the general configuration for users). The main argument against it was that not having a common experience in the core elements makes it very hard for the community to stay coherent (which is given as desirable) and have good discussions.

Eg when I don't know how you perceive the comments in the vicinity of the discussion, it is harder for me to understand your comment's intentions and finer points.

Of course this doesn't apply to peripherical features such as the colour of the header bar.

That would work if people could disregard their feelings and considered only the logic of arguments. But that's not always possible, as much as we try feelings can't always be controlled (though learning to control them is definitely a worthy pursuit). By trying to be kind we're minimising the potential for feelings to get in the way of the logic. Sure it adds overhead but the advantage of this is that opinions and view that might otherwise not get expressed do.

Also how many of those pricks that are often right actually are often right and how many are just so much of a prick no one wants to challenge them?

Um, what?

Ridiculous. If an inanimate object is involved in a crime, it is evidence. Not a suspect!

What does it mean to charge money with a crime? It clearly cannot defend itself, so the concept of a trial is moot to begin with. If the money is "found guilty", which of course lacking a defense it will be, does the government put it in prison (sorry, "correctional institution") to prevent it from doing further damage to society? No, of course not - they keep it and spend it. How terribly convenient. Got to keep that bad money off the streets, eh?

The entire thing is inconceivably preposterous, and the fact that it ever got off the ground in the US is a sign that something is terribly, fundamentally broken in the judiciary at the deepest levels. I'm frankly shocked that anyone could consider any application of it reasonable.

Domain expertise in something, almost anything really. The world is full of decent programmers and their numbers will only grow.

If on the other hand you understand the specific problems faced in field X and are really good at programming solutions to those problems, you'll be competing against a much smaller group, and it will be much easier for you to prove your value since everybody in the field knows how much of pain X is and the monetary value of making X go away.

> I guess I don't see how gentrification is a problem at all

Often it's how the situation got there in the first place. For example, in one suburb in my city a few landlords who owned apartments started renting to "undesirables" - illegal aliens, prostitutes and known drug dealers. This brought all kinds of problems because the area became known as a "safe haven" for petty criminals.

This drove down the market values of all the properties in the area, which is of course what these landlords wanted. After people started moving out they started purchasing properties and land all over the area and when they were comfortable enough with what they had, they enlisted the help of the police to evict the undesirables (and thereafter push up rent). With more properties under their belt, they had more say in the rate payers association, which meant they had more power to vote on things that worked in their favour rather than the original residents. I'm sure you can see where things went from there.

The other side of things is also what gentrification usually implies - destruction of communities. But let's leave that for another discussion...

Well, I used the context of your assertion, I didn't assume it could be automatically reversed.

> I am not negating that there are prejudice against men. I simply wish to point out the obvious - these prejudice are a product of patriarchy.

The context of this statement implies the removal of patriarchy will affect these prejudices, and, as it makes no sense to argue for the removal of patriarchy if the effect would be negative (!patriarchy => n * (prejudice X) where n > 1), and since the assertion establishes a correlation between the two (n cannot be 1), we're led to assume you mean !patriarchy => n * (prejudice X) where n < 1.

Patriarchy doesn't traditionally espouse the tenant of a useless father figure in the household. The distilled archetype being discussed is a modern comedy trope born of gender exploration from the last 40 years.

If he puts the rent up too much then my flatmates and I don't have any hope of voting him out either!

> female teacher in California who had sex with her 14-year old male student gets only two years in prison

Having sex with someone without their consent is rape, but that doesn't automatically mean it's a bad thing. A woman raping, in terms of actual consequences, isn't the same thing as a man raping. If a woman "raped" me, didn't get pregnant by it, didn't give me any skanky diseases, and didn't publicly accuse me of being the rapist, then I'd probably enjoy it. At worst, it might be a slight inconvenience for me.

Everybody knows this on an instinctive level, which is why we let them away with it. (Well, there's also an innate disposition against hitting any women or children, which might be why we let them away with it even when they do do something wrong.)

I'd say the _real_ female equivalent of raping someone, in terms of harm to the opposite sex, would be... getting pregnant on purpose so that you can get married or some bullshit.

Overreacting much? His summary of your comment actually got me interested enough to read the whole comment, which I would otherwise have never read (it's not exactly a unique story).

I would like to add some constructive criticism: it seems like you are idealizing your dad in this story (his team was really the only one in this really big company making any money), which is a very normal thing to do, but it is not needed to make your point. Also, you are dehumanizing "corporate people" by calling them psychopaths. They are not (usually) psychopaths, they have feelings and empathy, but are just very good at rationalizing those feelings away. I think it is important to recognize that they are no different from you or me, since that might prevent you from doing the same thing in the future.
