That situation can be easily handled through reverse mortgages.
The diagram would indeed be enormously complex, because that sentence draws upon a vast amount of existing human knowledge. You'd also have to invent a visual language for describing this knowledge, which at present probably doesn't exist. One may as well try looking at fMRI images of human brains and try to infer the way that sentence triggers existing memories in order to figure out how the brain represents hierarchies of knowledge in memory.

I mostly use diagrams for describing completely new, abstract ideas in engineering or mathematics. Once the idea is understood, then yeah, it's faster to "query the database", and simply utter a word or write down a symbol.
Library gap aside, Lisp has an FFI. If you want to use libpng from Lisp, you just make some C calls. If you want to use libpng from Hoon, you first have to re-implement the functionality of interest in Hoon just to have a sound basis for using the C library (as a drop-in optimization, or "jet").

This obviously makes for slower going, especially near the beginning.
1000x better? This is buying an interesting life and interesting story from people who have neither but lots of money.

We should be ashamed we live in a world where someone will pay as much for a pair of old jeans as an average salary.
It will be interesting to see what the staying power of the -ghazi suffix ends up being.

It may fade, may replace -gate, and it may even live alongside -gate to signify nothingburgers people try and turn into scandals like you mention. In the latter case we can look forward to a lot of cases where both sides try to rebrand -ghazis into -gates and vice versa.
You fix it by having a lower price of oil.
I was saving up this idea, but here's how you could disrupt Facebook. This is already happening, but it could be automated.

In short, automatically DELAY posting to Facebook. Let everybody know at the bottom of all content: This was published first at example.com and released to social media (Facebook) after X hours.

Make Facebook look antiquated like a newspaper. Let everyone know, Facebook is the old news. If you want our latest news, you have to sign up for the email list--you must to go to example.com for the LATEST news.

One way I'm thinking this could work with a WordPress plugin, when the publisher schedules a post, the post would be "locked" from view with a countdown timer. "This content unlocks in 6 hours. To unlock this content now, and to get our content before everyone else, sign up for our email list."

Maybe for really time-sensitive info you could have three tiers. A paid tier (instant release) and a free tier (unlocked 1 hour later) and a social media tier (unlocked 6 hours later.)

Essentially, you're taking advantage of the value of time, automatically. For example, if shampoo is on sale and you're 1 hour late, maybe the shelf is cleared out.

But you don't necessarily need a paid tier, because the publisher is a) getting more traffic to example.com, pulling traffic off Facebook and b) getting more email subscribers.

Publishers do implement this on their own, but I think it would work well as a WordPress plugin or as some kind of paid service if it was slick enough.
Elephants take a long time to mature, so this would be a really really long-term plan, even ignoring the other problems such as where to find the space to keep them, and what to do with the rest of the animal besides the tusks...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant#Birthing_and_calves

Gestation in elephants typically lasts around two years with interbirth intervals usually lasting four to five years.

Adulthood starts at about 18 years of age in both sexes.[127][128] Elephants have long lifespans, reaching 60–70 years of age.

Producing synthetic ivory would probably be much cheaper and cost-effective way to get the same material.
Legalize it? Are we talking about heroin or marijuana ffs?
It's because they have oil that they get to do as they please. Saudi Arabic happened to be ruled by religious nuts. Other countries like the UAE seem to be ruled by more pragmatic (although still conservative) tribal leaders.
This new 'thirsty' concrete absorbs 880 gallons of water a minute
Yes. Back in undergrad, I would always annoy my math professors by asking how to pronounce some of the symbols they were using.

Having said that, there are also times when I have to avoid reading a piece of math and just look at it visually.

There's nothing special about land ownership. Property taxes help to ensure that valuable land is used for economically valuable purposes that benefit the rest of society. With low or zero property taxes it becomes too easy for property owners to just let the property sit empty on the hope that the value will rise some day. With high property taxes property owners are effectively forced to either find a way to generate revenue off the property, or sell it to someone who can find a better use.
> it went down by 70-80% IIRC.

Not even close, demand dropped by 29% (source below). And the cause of the drop was the demand itself declining rather than anything China did. Their enforcement was minimal, the soup itself was just becoming less popular. It was sort of like a fad. Kind of like the sushi fad in the late 90s in California. If it was due to China's actions, you wouldn't have these sorts of stories still: "Why Shark Finning Bans Aren't Keeping Sharks Off The Plate (Yet)" (http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/03/03/390449252/why...)
So exempt the taxation of property up to some threshold. Or one primary residence.
Jira is okay. Confluence is okay. I find the installation and management of each okay. We don't use Hip Chat but I imagine with all the focus on Slack lately, chat is not a big portion of Atlassian's growth story.

What is strange to me is how on-premise focused their business is. This is a market at or beyond its peak. Perhaps that is the reason for the IPO at this point?
No, it's not. Just run through the matches returned by this regex, and reject the ones which don't have a captured group. Done. Did you want a more complex solution?
Oh, I agree with this as well. I'm just saying: maintenance clinics are a no-brainer. I don't see a single argument against them, no matter your stance on drug policy more generally.
Can someone explain to me what is the MS rationale behind binding RPC mapper(135) to public ip on client computers?
I've never understood why a safer, more benign drug, such as cannabis, immediately evokes a greater need for legalization.

Marijuana prohibition is not, for the most part, visiting anywhere near the misery on the human species that heroin prohibition is. Tens of thousands of people are kidnapped, tortured, or murdered every year in wars over heroin distribution. Addiction to heroin is made much, much worse under prohibition.

In fact, in the presence of prohibition, you're much more likely to find these concentrated forms of plant medicines precisely because people are unwilling to take the risk to smuggle whole plant matter.

This phenomenon is also observable with coca and cocaine. Cocaine obviously has the capacity to seriously destroy communities and lives. However, it doesn't have this effect on everyone. And, among people who use the entire plant for tea or as a chew - which is typical in places where the plant is legal and indigenous - it is utterly benign.
Why fix it? I bet everybody not content how things are can move to UAE or whatever. Their citizens are kind of rich.

And for non-citizens, it's their choice.

You should better strive to fix USA, UK and Japan, because they actually serve as beacons for the rest of the world.
Remember that TCP is robust enough that it seems to work anyhow - even at the cost of reduced network throughput in this case.

That to me sounds like this is not really a bug, but a performance enhancement; a bug would be something like corrupted/missing/extra data at the application level. Tuning the TCP algorithms beyond the basics is really more of an art.

> the answer to harm minimisation is not legal recreational opiates

Right but be careful: "the answer... is not legal recreational opiates" does not necessarily imply that the answer is illegal recreational opiates.

If that's what you are suggesting: I am unconvinced. Has a war on drugs ever actually worked for us? Is it clear that legal opiates would mean more overdoses? Even if they would, has someone done a cost-benefit analysis of a) enforcing the illegality of the drug and b) efforts to reduce the negative effects of the drug through education about the risks of using and how to use responsibly. I'd be curious to see the results.

Edit: According to http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Economics (pardon the biased domain but it was the first search result with the answer), only 5% of the money the US spends on drugs is allocated toward prevention and 37% goes to treatment. The remaining 58% goes to enforcing the illegality of drugs. Clearly the enforcement is not very effective because as you mentioned elsewhere 16k people are dying a year from heroin. So the question is: would that money be better spent otherwise?
And then what, more and more people and we chase more and more solutions to more and more problems we create through unrestrained population growth for no reason whatsoever. You don't seem to realize we are exiting the industrial age where people were a convenient input to production the wealthy and powerful fostered. It simply makes no sense to keep growing and then chasing the consequences of unfettered growth with the chance that solutions may be developed to solve unnecessary problems.

You totally ignored the fact that the greatest contributor to global warming is people, western ones and residents of developed countries, especially the USA more so than any others. You can rationalize and fantasize justifications all you want, but the fact of the matter is that there are hard limits to growth before the rest of the system can't maintain and the wheels come off. And it's all unnecessary at that. There is nothing inherently better in more people, because if you are not worth at the very least ~$3M, you are definitely not net gaining from population growth, exponentially so if you are not American.
I think your mental model is not quite there. The stock market is a leading indicator of the business cycle.

Thanks. I thought I was alone in saying the short term Emperor had no clothes.

Hillary's plan to make it more costly for people to switch investments will make the economy less productive.
That's just a silly, uninformed blanket statement. Please. Give me an ounce of evidence to support this sweeping claim.
It's a bug if you consider performance to be a feature.
> Is there a simple explanation for why the Christian West moved to relative secularism a couple centuries ago while Saudi Arabia has remained so medieval, despite oil-powered industrialisation?

That's a good question, to which I don't know the answer, but I would guess that it is @ least partially due to do w/ an authoritarian monarchy that came to power by aligning itself w/ religious fundamentalism:

> The emergence of what was to become the Saudi royal family, known as the Al Saud, began in Nejd in central Arabia in 1744, when Muhammad bin Saud, founder of the dynasty, joined forces with the religious leader Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, founder of the Wahhabi movement, a strict puritanical form of Sunni Islam. This alliance formed in the 18th century provided the ideological impetus to Saudi expansion and remains the basis of Saudi Arabian dynastic rule today.

To me, this is obvious. I find it extremely valuable to spend time making things more efficient and clear. Even if the time spent doesn't save that much time, but makes things less frustrating, it's a big win to me. There's a lot to be said for having processes that are predictable, that don't randomly have issues that require taking time out of your day to resolve before you get to your actual problem. I'd be surprised if there was a significant percentage of companies that don't spend at least some time solving these types of problems. I think the question that this article brings up, is what that ratio should be to actually gain.
Sorry, I had meant to post this link: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/11/28/emotional-programming/

But you're right. He hasn't said he's ditching Python. It was more me reading between the lines.

http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/10/1/a-fresh-look-at-rust/
That's true, but even not updating such part is a symptom. I don't want to compare different ecosystems and culture, and I am very excited to starting to learn python overall, but you hardly see such things in a project of comparable size in the node or ruby world. As I said, I am loving python and Flask, but this is a symptom that the topic is not as hot as I though it should be.
I am suspicious about a lot of the comments made on this website lately. Especially leading up to a primary election, I always find myself wondering how many comments are made by various varieties of sockpuppet.

I wish that there were a more robust web of trust in place on the internet to verify that people are, well, real people. I don't like feeling like a tinfoiler just because I have these fairly reasonable bouts of skepticism.
I admit it is not usual. "Useful" is in the eye of the beholder. It's quite useful for me. Sorry it isn't for you.
Nix and its companion NixOS are fantastic. Cross-compiling toolchains are the kind of thing that you have always been able to do, it would just take you two days of fiddling to set up.

With Nix, one person can do that work and it can work perfectly first try for anybody else with just a git clone and a command.
Not that I'm for a fence, but it's disingenuous to claim that that these measures have no effect.

They ultimately all raise the price of the drugs, making them harder to obtain and thus used slightly less.

There are diminishing returns though, and at some point you have to stop pumping money into the same countermeasures.
Atlassian started on-premise and later moved to cloud. Github started with cloud and later moved to on-premise. It would be interesting to compare the current revenue split/growth at the two companies.
The demo is just a blank page on iOS 8.4 Safari :(
2630 lines of code to run Sublevel or posted by users? A small codebase is interesting for nerds. And yea it is snappy.
Thanks for sharing the link to this great resource. I'll let my math students know about this. It's a bigger list with more examples than any I have seen before in a mathematics textbook, with very detailed instructions.
This is a symptom of a bigger problem. Plain and simple. Lack of opportunity and sense of purpose in modern society, combined with a person who has had a few bad rolls of the dice (And statistically someone will roll bad) along with a genetic predisposition for it. You may not care about that 100iq drug additive, but what about the potential genius offspring--where one can change the world.
When the oil money runs out it will be a very different story. I hope I live long enough to watch it happen.
Those overdoses could still be secondary to opioid addiction; there are lots of APAP/hydrocodone and APAP/oxycodone out there.
This might be a bit tangential, but these ideas remind me of the importance of voting with ones dollars (as well as ones time). As an American I find that the freedoms I enjoy to spend my money how I like contribute far more to my sense of participating in a democracy than do my occasional trips to the voting booth.

It's the reason I can't bring myself to follow the often repeated financial advice to stick your money in an index a fund and then leave it there; I refuse to vote for the behavior so many of those companies engage in.
NIH/NIDA supports that number: https://d14rmgtrwzf5a.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/cdc...

From 2001 to 2013 there was a 5-fold increase in the total number of deaths from heroin overdose.

Edit: I believe a 500% increase in overdose deaths qualifies under the 'epidemic' definition of "a sudden, widespread occurrence of a particular undesirable phenomenon."
I've heard some of the pushback is a consequence of overprescription, and perhaps laziness on part of the medical profession. That's to say, opioids more often than necessary are the first tool a physician goes to rather then trying alternatives when alternatives exist. For some conditions acupuncture, chiropractic, as well as dietary changes. Also, some people easily continue being prescribed narcotics after the original condition has been addressed.
I don't understand the fuzz about 3d touch.

I haven't seen the new phone in real life but as far as I can see from the press IOS9 has introduced a context menu exclusively for 6S - but could that now have been done using the existing hardware and thus for all models? Ie. by triggering the context menu with double tap, long tap, tap and slide up or something?
Legalizing will undoubtedly increase usage, unless you can find another way to keep on the pressure. The reason why usage levels are what they are right now is because there is pressure against using it.
You know, not every situation calls for belittling the achievements of children in the news.
Presumably it is considered to be a bug because it does not accomplish what the code is meant to accomplish - namely, the code does not properly characterize a congested state and thus does not operate as if it were congested.
I'll just copy paste a few things out of this article, regarding your state that is the brand new head of the UN Human Rights Council (EDIT: Name was changed from Commission to Council to reflect current nomenclature). Well done, UN:

* "Saudis prefer not to grant visas to unaccompanied women"

* "Nationals of Israel and those with evidence of visiting Israel will be denied visas"

* "Drug possession is punishable by death"

* "LGBT activities are illegal in Saudi Arabia and it is one of the least homosexual friendly countries in the world. First offenses attract prison sentences of several months to life, fines with whipping/flogging, castration, torture, vigilante killings and public execution. A second conviction invariably results in execution."

* "most visitors will be primarily concerned with the code of morality, involving things like women not covering up properly, and not accompanied by a male guardian, not observing prayer or (during Ramadan) fasting times, etc. These rules are enforced by the infamous muttaween - the zealous volunteers of the religious police known as the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. ... Reports of human rights abuses and even deaths in muttaween custody are still common"

* "against the law to be accompanied anywhere by a man who is not your registered male guardian"

* "A woman may not travel alone. They may not stay alone in hotels, hotels will require the presence of a male guardian"

* "Do NOT take pictures of any government-related building (ministries, airports, military facilities etc) or any building that could possibly be one, or you risk being hauled off to jail for espionage, or accused of terrorist plotting"

* "Playing music in public is also prohibited"

* "Converting or attempting to convert Muslims from Islam to other religions is a felony that can be punished with up to death"

* "Any criticism of the King, the royal family or Saudi Arabia's government in general is not tolerated and risks indefinite imprisonment or execution"
As soon as I tried "peeks" I understood 3d touch. It felt like a pretty dramatic UI improvement.
I had one of these when I was a kid -- I think it was after they had already started to discontinue them because we were getting discs for under $10. I found it amusing it used a needle to play back video!

It was a shame it died as a format because the quality was better than VHS; you could actually fast-forward and see the video while you went; and the discs were quite durable for kids to use, since they went back into their caddies inside the machine and the actual discs themselves were never handled.

I guess the biggest issue for a collector these days would be sourcing new needles (which wear out, just like the needles on turntables do.) Also a limited collection of movies that just sort of stop dead around 1985.

The challenge for enterprises is that each one has slightly different needs, and enterprises are rarely able to conform to their tools.

As a physician, I find comments like this disturbing. Barring special circumstances (cancer related pain), there is almost no need for chronic opiates. In fact, the body rapidly becomes accustomed to opiates and will require higher and higher doses that can become dangerous. The united states uses orders of magnitude more opiates than all other countries, and that often comes from potentially a cultural aversion to pain, but also many patients specifically seek out and ask for pain meds.

In fact, the scenarios you mention, of post herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and neuropathy should NEVER be treated with opiates. There are highly effective neuroleptics and medications like carbamazepine, gabapentin, and TCAs that are first line and highly effective for these syndromes. While painful, given that it is neuropathic pain, often with rapid onset and offset, opiates, even PRN medication, is not appropriate management and does not help with its treatment. Adjuvant therapy including topical creams like capsaicin as well as minor procedures like nerve blocks and injections are pursued if first line treatments do not work. Often I see people in clinic who were aggressive about opiates and got opiates for these syndromes and spiral into addiction and problems while the underlying problem is untreated.

Opiates are not a panacea for all pain, and its troubling with patients see it that way, and often insist on opiate medications.
This is a really amazing idea AND it's something that is very technically possible.

Is this an idea that you've formulated yourself? I'm very curious about your journey to this idea.
"Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton’s 1791 report on manufacturing promoted policies to grow the nation into a commercial republic. President Woodrow Wilson’s Committee on Public Information recruited 75,000 members of the public to give speeches in favor of such World War I measures as Liberty Bonds and the draft, blanketed the nation with pamphlets and posters, and generally set in motion the modern publicity apparatus that exists today

A decade ago, the Government Accountability Office faulted the second Bush administration’s Department of Health and Human Services for overselling the benefits of the new Medicare law."

Hardly a propaganda essay discrediting the liberal executive branch.
I never said they had no effect. I agree that they have an effect, but an extremely small one in terms of cost-benefit analysis (cost-benefit in terms of both lives and money).
Why wait, you can see it live (Syria).
Another reason it failed, they used Ruby--which at the time was a pain in the ass to install. (Would not install on 99.9% of shared hosts and VPS was still a new thing.)

I've said it before, I'm pretty sure it would work if it was built on top of WordPress. I'm sure this idea is in the back of Matt Mullenweg's mind somewhere. Gravatar has profiles now, but where is that going...?

Well, I shouldn't say it failed. I don't know. A few years ago I was out somewhere, can't remember the conversation, but this guy was telling me the Diaspora community is still growing and people are actually using it.
