And then there is this...:

Male Holocaust survivors have a longer life expectancy compared to those who didn't experience the Holocaust, according to a recent study conducted at the University of Haifa jointly with Leiden University. The results have just been published in PLOS ONE. This is the first study to examine data on the entire Jewish Polish population that immigrated to Israel before and after World War II, using the population-wide official database of the National Insurance Institute of Israel. "Holocaust survivors not only suffered grave psychosocial trauma but also famine, malnutrition, and lack of hygienic and medical facilities, leading us to believe these damaged their later health and reduced life expectancy. Surprisingly, our findings teach us of the strength and resilience of the human spirit", said the leading professor of this research, Prof. Avi Sagi-Schwartz, from the Dept. of Psychology and the Head of the Center for the Study of Child Development at Haifa University.

...

One possible explanation for these findings might be the “Posttraumatic Growth” phenomenon, according to which the traumatic, life-threatening experiences Holocaust survivors had to face, which engendered high levels of psychological distress, could have also served as potential stimuli for developing personal and inter-personal skills, gaining new insights and a deeper meaning to life. All of these could have eventually contributed to the survivors’ longevity. “The results of this research give us hope and teach us quite a bit about the resilience of the human spirit when faced with brutal and traumatic events”, concluded Prof. Sagi-Schwartz.

Reddit’s Chief Apologizes After Employee’s Dismissal
No, but I definitely can discount one study because two other people that claimed similar things were proven wrong (and Lysenko was less than a century ago). Although I can't tell in this case whether they're claiming anything other than hormone levels in the mother during pregnancy might impact development (which is another reason I'm extremely skeptical of any stronger claims made in the article)
Yeah, In retrospect I shouldn't have used that as an example - I was talking about something that I didn't know much about. My apologizes.
I responded to rudeness with rudeness. Perhaps not constructive but my knee jerk reaction.

I don't have CFS but I can imagine they get an endless barrage of unsolicited comments such as "you need to eat more/less protein/carbs/fat/meat/vegetables/gluten/preserves/alcohol/fad-of-the-month and you'll be cured." I'm sure that people suffering from something as terrible and debilitating as CFS has tried all of that and more. Its the holier-than-thou attitude that gets under my skin.

We know (in general) humans can both survive and thrive on a wide variety of diets.

Sharing your personal experiences and what worked for you is helpful. Writing off research in medication with "why? you just need to change your diet" is not. Especially to those still suffering. It discounts real people who are really suffering and are still looking for answers.
I'm not sure if you picked the best examples to validate your opinion. in fact, I'm not sure how your examples relate. care to expand?
> Yes obviously a Cordova app does not look native. It's not native and it will never be. Period.

You can get pretty close to looking native with a framework like Ionic: http://showcase.ionicframework.com/

Of course, it's not native, so there are going to be corner cases where things don't look quite the same, but I'd be hesitant to make such an absolute statement about the future when you can already get so close today.

Performance and compatibility issues for Cordova apps can be often traced back to outdated webviews, and you can resolve much of it by embedding an up-to-date webview with your app: https://crosswalk-project.org/

HN has proved that it is fundamentally unable to discuss serious issues about these issues with Admin level removal of posts (and I specify: anti-racist / anti-revisionist at that).

As such - HN should no longer be treated as any kind of reference point to scientific articles, because actual scientific content can be deleted at any time due to political beliefs.

Done.

I find this is generally a poor place for hardware-related startups.

Places to check (and network with)—I'd try checking in with your university's tech transfer office: they might be able and willing to clue you into recently-formed startups licensing university IP. Another would be your university's professional practice office (may go by another name), i.e., the office that sets up student internships. Another is with your department's industry relations rep (if you have one). A fourth place would be in any hacker spaces or tech villages in town. A fifth would be with the local angel investor groups.

A really great possibility is to take your senior design project seriously. It's not unheard of for those to turn into something commercially viable.

Yes the problem with the CMV (and EBV) T cells is too often ignored. Once these T-cells become more than 80% T-cell population your life expectancy is less than a year. You pretty much have leukaemia.

In my opinion we should be testing all people over the age of 65 for CMV and EBV and putting them on anti-herpies virus drugs to suppress the chronic low level viral turnover that is driving this T-cell clonal expansion.
I was sick for a long-time and was getting progressively worse. I understand that what works for me may not work for others. I am simply suggesting we look for the root cause and possibly look for alternatives other than drugs. For some people there may be no alternatives and I understand that.
Actually I've done a good number of talks at tech conferences, and while I've gotten a few choice Youtube comments, I've never gotten any of the kind of shit thrown at me that female colleagues in a similar position have. The same kind of stuff described in this post.

And it's not exactly clear from your post why we should throw up our hands at a threat to someone's children, either.

> Somehow that gets interpreted as "This is okay, we endorse it. We aren't going to do anything about it."

Yes, telling someone that they shouldn't talk about the bad thing happening to them, that they should just get over it, is condoning it. Oh, no need for them to get into the particulars! I can just assume I've already experienced exactly whatever they're going to say and just tell them, "well, that's the internet for you".

How is it that python is less amenable to functional programing? (Functional in the sense of referential transparency and immutable data-structures, rather than map-filter-fold). Through my limited exposure to python, I agree that immutability isn't idiomatic python, but I don't think there's anything stopping you from implementing those ideas in any language.
You say that but in a few years we'll probably be fighting neighbour discovery DoS attacks. /64 prefixes seem to be the worst thought out idea of IPv6.

"According to protocol for the previous randomized KTS-1-2008 study, patients assigned to the placebo group should be given the opportunity to participate in a new open-label study with rituximab. The protocol for the present study was designed to learn about the therapeutic efficacy of rituximab maintenance treatment, for response rates and response durations. Also, the experiences could form the basis for design of a future randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial."
The reddit post and comments has much more useful info: https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/3cbo4m/we_ap...
It's funny but Reddit is not the front page of the internet. It's the comment section of the internet. If you actually see what's going on here, it's the same people who care to comment on things. Some of whom are trolls and very difficult to control. The trolls from your comment section are having their day on Reddit. And the community is behind them.
I wish one of these traffic apps had "race mode." The traffic data is mostly worthless because it's not real-time, and even when it does give a good route it's hard to confirm it after arrival. Instead it would be cool to compare my route to an alternate traversed by another app user who left the origin around the same time.
I read through the Twitter-clone example in the docs after I posted my comment. The Twitter-clone is a little bit longer than a quick snippet. I just wanted something that showed a route pointing to an index function returning a hello world and a line of code starting the server.

Also, it is definitely Flask inspired. I might have to do a more in depth comparison of the two.
I think the community have gone beyond the point where an apology from Ellen Pao will be sufficient enough to quell the dissatisfaction users have with Reddit. The only solution I can see is Pao stepping down or being replaced, followed by some actual management policies and ways of keeping the community happen (acknowledging them would be a good start).

The site has been on a downhill slope for a while now and as shown, this isn't a localised incident, a lot of people are not only angry about the handling of Victoria's dismissal, but how the site is being run. Why now? Why is Ellen Pao only apologising for years worth of mismanagement of Reddit after the community took a stand? This goes beyond what just happened, this has been a long time in the making. It comes across as a forced apology because before all of this blackout controversy, they were doing nothing. The community was being ignored, mods were running rampant shadowbanning and removing threads, mad with power. And ironically mods want better tools and more power? The promotion of krispykrackers just goes to show how out-of-touch Reddit has become with its users.

It's great that they're acknowledging there are issues and that they will do better, but I think it is too late. Maybe I am wrong, but I just can't see things getting better or if they do, staying better for long. I have moved over to voat.co and when it comes back online, my 8 year old Reddit account will be nothing more than an effigy to a site that was once great. I personally have nothing against Ellen, the whole problem with Reddit goes well beyond her and members of the community also share in the blame. The centralised approach Reddit takes to management is its downfall and if they're not careful, we could see what happened to Digg when they messed over power users happen to Reddit as well (evident by the influx of users over at voat.co).
There're just so many losers that sit in the dark corner trolling. There's nothing they can do, except expressing hate on HY, which just changes nothing.
Your wager is good, on both counts; the current corpus is based on the first 14 months of strips, which comes out to about 10K total words for Calvin (who has more lines than the rest of the cast combined, in that chunk of strips). That's not enough to generate a lot of variety on anything other than very common word combinations. Strings of prepositions and articles are the most likely inflection points where you'll commonly see two distinct phrases glued together.

If I get the whole strip run into the corpus, that'll kick Calvin up to something more like 80-90K words, which will help with the variety a good bit, and the other characters will have more of a shot of current Calvin-like variety, but it's still a relatively small training set.

By comparison I've done some markov model experiments based on multi-million word corpora and that gets a lot farther into the territory of regularly producing satisfyingly weird disjunctures.
> So, you're emotional.. angry about someone trolling a woman. So, you're going to go on an irrational rampage and fight any man to death who tries to bring clarity to the issue beyond your emotional white knighting?

Yes, we call this sort of thing a straw man.

I do enjoy, however, that the OP is blogging "because she feels she's the center of the world"[1], alaroldai is an irrational, rampaging white knight, but you're just bringing clarity to the issue. No, you don't seem irrationally invested in the issue in the slightest.

The whole backlash against her has quite frankly been revolting. I no longer care what she did to offend so many people, but sympathise with her as this is undoubtedly a horrific experience for her.

The firing of the key employee may of been stupid, but not deserving of some of the hatred being gleefully promoted across Reddit. Trying to get her photo coming up for searches of Hitler, commenting on her physical appearance, all the horrible little shits on the internet are coming out in droves over this.

The petitions opening (and longest) paragraph is idiotic and attempts to assassinate her characters and it's sad that "censoring" a community promoting hatred of obese people is something that motivates people to take democratic action.

Reddit's got a team of 65: https://www.reddit.com/about/team/

Advertising revenue is under $10 million per a link provided earlier today from Merideth Paterson.

I don't know about other revenues (Gold, ??).

$50m/64 gives $781,250 per employee. At $200k/yr spend per employee, that's about a four year run time. How much above or below that depends on revenues, growth plans etc.

That should be reasonably decent bank.

Reddit has jumped the shark.

I remember when this happened with Digg; Digg reached a certain level of success, but then discovered that it's existing users were a barrier to acquiring new users and getting revenue. They picked a fight with their power users, who left, but never got anybody to replace them, so then the spammers took over.

Digg users formed a diaspora and moved to reddit.

Many sections of reddit are overrun by the kind of people who hate Ellen Pao and everything she stands for. These people may have a point, but they are haters at the core and, like the Digg user base, they are a barrier to mainstream success.

I think reddit is going to look like a fight between an immovable object and an irresistable force and that just can't be good.
Reddit is undergoing a gradual decline, whose climax might have been this.

While Pao is also blamed, these problems are a reflection of a long-standing centralized management team.

Last year, I took two days to build a mostly static blog to replace WordPress. It pays off everytime there is a WordPress vulnerability I don't have to worry about, and everytime we post an interesting post and I don't have to worry about if WordPress is going to fall over (yes, maybe there's some caching thing we could have used). It pays off when I have multiple data centers running, because WordPress doesn't have the ability to read from a local MySQL slave, so perf on the datacenter far from the master is terrible (the i18n plugin we were using didn't help).

I imagine the payoff is similar for the stack overflow team as well.

EDIT: I don't understand why they are using disqus for comments, when they have a self hosted comment platform, in my case we don't accept comments.

A key role of the CEO is in addressing key constituencies and stakeholders: investors, business partners, customers, employees. And in Reddit's case, the people who do much of the heavy lifting in managing the forums, and in participating in discussions on the site.

There are limits to how much time you want to dedicate to any one constituency. But yes, when you've got a problem with your mods and users on a mod-and-user-centric company, you talk to the mods and users.
