> It is a bad thing when subcultures are overrun by people who did not come to it organically.

Having seen an uncountable number of subcultures in popular music overrun this way, I've come to see it as an inevitability. When a subculture is pure and thriving and exciting, enjoy it while you can, for "this too shall pass."

For me the movement that was "indie rock" ended with the success of Nirvana; after that "indie rock" became the label for a musical genre (which was weird, because "indie rock" was as much the label of a business practice as it was the label of a musical genre).

A pet theory of mine is that they get so much attention because the Japanese held onto feudalism far longer than the colonial powers. As such, the colonial representatives attached some romanticism to Japan and the Samurai.

I think that's a part of it. I think that the other commenter is also correct in that the "far east" has some kind of romantic draw in the western mind.

There's something compelling about people who would willingly die before violating their principles. Even if I don't like it, even if I don't agree with it, I can respect it.

Even when we were at war with Japan, there was a kind of grudging respect. Sure, they were dehumanized in the wartime propaganda and depicted as incompetent or inept in our media, the west was so terrified of them that we interned American citizens who were as little as 1/4 Japanese.
> So not really what you would expect from a union in the west

Oh, you know, these days in the West, the big unions are more partners with the governments/employers than they are on the side of the workers.

Many unions have become tools that exists only to perpetuate their own existence, instead of being tools for workers to organize and collectively defend their interests against those of their employers and governments.

I broke the laws of energy. Ok, not really. I was gaining weight because I was starving my body of nutrients, so it was storing everything as fat. I stopped eating crap and started drinking health shakes several times a day and started taking multi-vitamins. I have increased my caloric intake and have been steadily losing weight for two years now. It is not a diet, but a permanent lifestyle change. I feel better and have more energy. I don't log things in a scientific manor, but I don't really need to. My reduction in weight and increase in energy is all I need.

No kidding, that's news to me.

More money quotes:

Insoluble fiber does not change inside the body, so the body cannot absorb it and it provides no energy. Soluble fiber is partially fermented, with the degree of fermentability varying with the type of fiber, and contributes some energy

In the US, soluble fiber must be counted as 4 kcal/g (17 kJ/g), but insoluble fiber may be (and usually is) treated as not providing energy and not mentioned on the label.

So it's technically accurate that the human body cannot digest fiber, but bacteria in the gut can break soluble fiber down allowing us to extract some small amount of energy.
I wouldn't believe so - as Tex explained:

“The airplane does not recognize attitude, providing a maneuver is conducted at one G. It knows only positive and negative imposed loads and variations in thrust and drag. The barrel roll is a one G maneuver and quite impressive, but the airplane never knows it’s inverted.”

As long as you have enough thrust and the plane can withstand the G force, it will roll.
Note that Jackie Barton has already shown that conjugated pi bonds formed along DNA chains can be used to transmit information; the theory of molecular orbitals is a quantum one.

Also, spontaneous mutations occur, and they're caused by interactions between bases and photons; again, these can only be explained by using quantum molecular orbital theory.

I'm not going to the argue the author of your quoted statement is likely to be correct.
> You would deny the victims existing and concrete evidence of the accused's wrong

Insofar as it is for the victim (civil litigation by someone harmed by an unlawful act to seek redress) rather than the State (criminal process to impose criminal penalties pursued by and at the discretion of the executive branch of government), illegally obtained evidence is not excluded. The exclusionary rule only applies to evidence illegally obtained by the government which the government attempts to use in criminal prosecution. The victim is not involved.

The State represents the public as an abstract generality, not the individual victim. (Prosecutors like to pretend otherwise, but that's a manipulation technique, not reality.)

Arrogance, again. Lack of unions is NOT the reason for the 1% - its banking/investment regulation. What we do at the grass-roots level has become profoundly irrelevant to those in positions of power.

And there's a word for that union 'democracy' you are so proud of - its called tyranny of the majority. Its using the trappings of democracy to hijack everybody's decisions about work.

I'm not an expert here... but I've never heard of Japanese using crossbows at all. Which is strange, because China and other Far East nations definitely had exotic crossbows (Chu-ke nu / Repeating Crossbows), but I guess they never really made it to Japan.

This Stack Exchange seems to confirm my assumption:
http://history.stackexchange.com/questions/22806/were-crossb...

One answer notes that the wood in Japan made it difficult to build crossbows. The wood used in Japanese Longbows has distinctive properties... but does not have the right properties for a compact handheld crossbow.

Seige Crossbows (OYumi) were used, since the large size got around the material issues with Japanese wood. But handheld crossbows had issues getting constructed there.

Assuming the sword attributed to him is actually a war sword (not a ceremonial one), and noting that he was apparently superhumanly strong and large...

As for the disappearance, I think it had more to do with improving firearms making heavy armoured shock troops impractical, and armies becoming much larger things mostly composed of musketeers with relatively limited training (rather than the smaller armies of very well trained professionals like landsknechtes). The pike disappears fairly soon after, when infantry switch to using bayonets to ward off cavalry.
This post is about the android app. How do you define "online" when you're on a phone with a data connection, an extremely common use case for this scenario? (Or rather, what makes someone "offline" here?)

Maybe it's better to track whether the user is busy or free-to-interrupt, which I think is what Google is already doing. (I believe there is also an option to broadcast if you're on your phone or your desktop, although I don't fully understand why it's that useful)

Edit: I looked up Google's documentation, and apparently they do indeed track Online/Offline in the hangouts app [1], but from what I understand, installing the android app with a data connection = online. I'm not sure what Offline means.

I guess the parent is asking for notifications about the Online/Offline change, which does not exist. (But again, if installing the app means you're always Online in hangouts, you won't get any notifications anyway)

Another key distribution system is to use a key-value blockchain store based naming model such as Blockchain ID (formerly Passcard, Onename).

https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack/wiki/Blockchain-ID-...

You use the user's username (key) to look up their profile which is either stored in the blockchain or "snapshotted" to the blockchain so that it is tamperproof. You can store the PGP (or OTR or<insert your favorite public key here>) public key fingerprint in the profile.
DNA and RNA both also fold.

This is an approximation:

http://mfold.rna.albany.edu/?q=mfold/dna-folding-form

The underlying quantum chemistry (which doesn't need to specifically invoke coherence or tunneling) is required to get truly accurate results. Classical approximations aren't sufficient to measure really subtle energy differences between folded forms.

Are things that bad at Dropbox? I know its user growth has been slowing down, but I thought it's more because they've been focusing on monetization. It does seem to me that Dropbox is a feature, not a complete product. If it goes away tomorrow, all I need to do is to move all my files from Dropbox folder to either OneDrive/GoogleDrive/AmazonDrive, and all is good.

I've seen some data sharing problem that's critical for business and I don't think Dropbox can help there. For example, we need to share (and work on) some very confidential and sizable datasets (think hundreds of GBs). After looking around a bit, we decided to go with an AWS VPC (two factor login required), and set up big Windows machine in the VPC, and everyone who need to work on the datasets have to remote desktop in. It's not ideal, but at least we can be reasonably sure that no one needs to make a copy of the data (one can not accidentally do that, and it's not trivial to do deliberately).
How is this intrinsic to capitalism, exactly? It's true for any society in general where people are relatively free of coercion so as to devote time to their self-interest. The fact that you're speaking of capitalism in a mixed market economy shows this.
> my mind might not be 100% as quick as it was when i was 20

care to elaborate? I'm 34 and I keep hearing that my mind is supposed to slow down but it hasn't yet. I drink 2 cups of coffee a day, don't smoke cigs, am not overweight, try to go for a walk for 30 minutes minimum each day, go to sleep by 9ish and am up by 3 or 4am.
I also watch very little TV, read regularly and push myself to learn new stuff on a near constant basis (python > node > c# > cg within the space of the last 4 years, along with pixel art, a bit of 3d art, loads of 3d programming + 2d game programming - all in addition to being a web dev contractor).

The change I've seen in my brain as I've gotten older is that I seem to be learning at an accelerated rate. However there are days when my depression or stress gets the best of me and I have to just take half a day or so to "detox" (binge watch netflix, play video games etc).

I wonder if some of the slow down people feel is artificially induced, or even misperceived (it takes me longer to reply to questions, but that's because I'm considering more answers or sifting through more knowledge that I have).

edit: Alzheimers / other brain related issues are absolutely terrifying to me so I'm interested in understanding what people mean by slowing down specifically... also there's a small part of me that worries I've slowed down and just haven't noticed it yet.
in case of a trilogy , how do i rate the originality of the second & third movie compared to the first ? less or equal ?

speaking about trilogy, if the movies number ( example : Matrix I, II, III same for Underworld ..etc ) would appear that would be great ! most of the time it's hard to know which is which only by the title/release-year ...

also can i import my imdb watchlist ?

finally it looks nice, but it take too much time to rate every single movie i've watched -___-'
I personally have moved on to Google Messenger for MMS. It's simpler and faster. I like the feature of being able to color-code my contacts in conversations too. It just makes it a lot easier to read through a group text that way.

Hangouts is cool and all, but I wish Google would just decide which app they are going to push and get on with it.
> Furthermore, if you were watching a barrel roll you'd see the aeroplane's nose turn towards you as an observer. That'd didn't occur.

Not if the entry trajectory is away from you, as is the case in all the videos I have seen - were you thinking of Tex's description of it as a chandelle here?

He uses the unqualified term 'roll' elsewhere in the interview, and the maneuver certainly qualifies, as the craft performed a 360-degree rotation around the longitudinal axis and finished on close to the entry heading. Movement of the camera to follow the aircraft may have concealed its barrel shape, but if you follow the fuselage orientation, you can see changes in heading consistent with a barrel roll, though possibly around an oval or pear-shaped barrel.

Regardless of what you call it, I don't think the maneuver as filmed could be performed at nearly 1G. I wonder if what Hoover was trying to convey was 1) he didn't go negative G, and 2) he didn't pull any more Gs than a chandelle, which, as you say, is a standard check-maneuver (I do not know if the latter is true (with respect to G forces), though the entry into, and exit from, a barrel roll have some resemblances to a chandelle.)
An important line in the piece:

"Of course, just because you presume intelligence doesn't mean that every decision made was smart."

I'd rephrase as follows: it's unwise to assume stupidity on the part of your competition, but it's very wise to allow the possibility of stupidity.

With the corollary that if there's an inexpensive way to capitalise on that stupidity if it exists, it's probably worth trying, just in case the thing that's walking like a duck and quacking like a duck is in fact a duck.

As a tangent to that - the chances that assumptions of stupidity are correct go up in direct proportion to your level of domain knowledge.

I see a lot of non-film people say "the movie industry does $FOO and that's really stupid", for example, and 95% of the time, they're wrong and there are good reasons for doing $FOO.

However, I also see people who know the film world (including me) say "a lot of / most filmmakers do $BAR and it's dumb" - and $BAR has a considerably higher chance of actually being a dumb, common mistake.
That's a summary? tldr

My summary: the article is a cultural-marxist parable. The victim is the hacker. The oppressor is the yuppie. In olden days the hacker lived in a sort of eden, but now the oppressor has trapped the hacker in webs of capitalist bondage.
I don't think you can count this as MVP since it doesn't do anything thus it's not really a "product".
We're using Delphix (off Oracle) to do our "every developer should have a database". For anyone not familiar with Delphix, it provides individual DB instances that are "forked" from the source DB. I'm assuming it's some kind of Copy On Write.

So far it's working ok, although we've not automated, snapshot/update/refresh off the master yet. The master is planned to be periodically refreshed from ProdCopy.

Would be interested if anyone else is using Delphix and can comment or link to anything on it. I've been meaning to poke around the REST interface but haven't had time yet.
Are you confusing a roll with a loop???

I fly RC, and pulling back hard on the elevator will rip the wings off a plane, particularly at the bottom of a loop. Alas, I know this from personal experience :-)

Just rolling around the longitudinal axis with the ailerons is pretty low stress, though, at least in a "snap" roll. You loose some altitude, but the load on the wing at the end of the roll is pretty minimal.

Making small elevator changes during the roll to pull back (generate positive G) during the sideways and inverted parts of the roll, and ease off (preventing more G than just gravity/lift of wing) as you return to an upright position is doable with practice. You will loose some altitude, it won't be a "straight" tube/barrel traced.
