The top 50% of Americans are better off than the top 50% of people in Sweden. That's 160 million people doing better than Sweden, I call that an extraordinary success. The bottom 1/3 are better off in Sweden than in America however, not much debate on that.

Swedes in America also do better than Swedes in Sweden.

There is greater opportunity for success in America than there is in Sweden as well. The US has a far greater diversity of culture overall. The US economy is far richer, 45% of all global wealth is concentrated in just 4.6% of the world's population. US universities are far superior to Sweden's.

The Swedish household debt to income ratio is far worse than America's, at twice the rate of the US household levels. They've been taking on debt far beyond their means to fake some of that standard of living.

Some masses of people are better off in Sweden, some are not.

Sweden's unemployment rate is higher than the US. Their system was also a disaster for decades before they launched numerous reforms of the prior formulation of their welfare state, improving its overall free market friendliness.

I didn't say block chains are worth nothing. Just because something solves one problem does not mean it solves all problems.
My experience was almost exactly that in the OP.

I bought my first TV used off craigslist 6 months ago (I'm 30, lived past 12 years w/o a television), mainly intending to use it as a big monitor to watch movies/tv shows from my laptop via HDMI.

I started to get into local sports, but wasn't willing to pay for cable. I suffered through a few poor quality (aka "was that a touchdown or interception?") internet streams of the games.

Then one day I recalled that had a TV, not just a big monitor. $15 dollars later I had an antennae and was getting the local football games over-the-air in great HD.
> Just like the value of cash is not determined by the technical solution behind it (essentially colored inks on a piece of paper).

The value of paper money is actually pretty intimately entangled with the quality of its anti-counterfeiting technology. If anybody could just print viable currency on their home printers, cash would be useless.
What I don't see covered is the following problems:

1. Do people have to buy points from miners?
2. What prevents someone from buying lots of points to promote their content?
On a side note, this is common in academia (particularly for married couples), and often seen as a negative thing there. The downside is that employers often expect two full-time employees for the price of one. My wife and I both have similar skillsets and looked at applying to a shared tenure-track position. We didn't for exactly that reason.

On the other hand, I think i could be quite nice if employers manage expectations and don't expect to get 2 for 1.
Why spend $5 on a wrench when you can make a phone call to the FBI and compromise any server on US soil?

These cryptanalytic capabilities are mostly relevant for servers hosted outside the US, I'd wager.
Every time you hack a server or strongarm an engineer you risk detection. Breaking a widely used key would be mostly invisible and seems to better fit the description of capabilities described in their documents.
In my experience a lot of people don't realize you can get network TV in HD with an antenna. The cost of cable is just way too high to stomach given other available options, the best option being watching less TV.

"The process was outlined in a paper published today in Nature, and hints at the possibility of medical breakthroughs lurking in the data of failed experiments."

If there was some way to make sense of data from negative-results experiments reliably, it would be absolutely revolutionary and certainly turn our ideas about what constitutes a successful experiment onto its head. I am very hopeful for fruitful results from the methods outlined in this article.

I worry about the usage of "failed" experimental data here, though. I've "failed" a lot of experiments for reasons other than not finding the effect I was looking for in my data. Any exploration of data from negative-results experiments needs to be taken very narrowly, with a deep understanding of exactly what effect is being examined.

Experiments are frequently designed incorrectly for studying the effect they want, and are almost always not suitably controlled for examining non-primary effects. Try to find a trend throughout non-primary effects over a large swath of experiments, and I'm sure you will-- but it may be noise.

But Dyson here (if he's properly quoted!) doesn't actually use scientific approach to question anything. He just claims "discrepancies" which don't exist under the assumptions on which the research is based. He approaches it as the "weather" (very short term) whereas the assumption is the "climate" (trends). Otherwise he wouldn't even mention the "discrepancies" as the main argument.
No matter how good you are now, your code when you've spent a year with a framework will be better. Consequently you should pick a framework (or language, or tool) and stick with it until you actually have a good reason to move on to something else. The benefits of jumping to whatever someone else recommends because they claim their choice is better for X, Y and Z reasons are likely less than the benefit of your own experience with a framework you've learned and understand.

90% of the speed of your code in terms of both writing and execution are a function of how well you write it, not the libraries you're using. Writing better code comes from practising (and thinking).

The trick lies in the fact that life forms have no obvious boundary. The fact that two creatures are two creatures, and not just a single creature is something that is just endowed to them by us humans. If one of the creatures dies, does it really die, or does the combination of the two creatures just loses half of its brain cells? That second view is just as valid. Hence, in that second view, nothing really ever dies; we (i.e., the universe) just lose brain cells. And, of course, we gain them as well.

I have an idea for a federated blockchain to support a subjective crypto currency. So each coin's value is unique and determined by whoever might be trading it. The way that knowledge of the network state will flow looks like boosted gossip, maybe similar to PolderCast layers.

Here's a user's eye view of it: http://thenewstack.io/why-art-could-become-currency-in-a-cry...
They are very much linked to one another. If BitCoin didn't offer anything novel over and above other media of exchange, like fiat currency, its value would approach zero. Its differentiating quality is the blockchain and peer-to-peer distributed concensus.

You could have a cryptocurrency without a block chain

Perhaps, but then you'd need to solve the problem of trust-less peer-to-peer Byzantine concensus a different away, using a different mechanism. And that's exactly why the blockchain is novel.
Frequently a lot of this hoarded data is flawed or defective due to improper setup or execution of the experiment. That isn't to say the information in this "dark data" is useless, but it needs to be taken in context. The cleanest data with the best results are put forward into a paper; the chaff is not.
The author is a non-native speaker. I doubt there's anything behind this bio except a wordplay.
is that if you're relying on DOM structure (e.g. styling X if he is a descendant or sibling of Y), then you're doing it wrong.

Actually this is the way to do it without going overboard with it. Even UI frameworks like Boostrap or Foundation rely on this convention to style elements on the page.

Littering the HTML markup with classes all over the place for the illusion of "loose coupling" between the CSS and HTML is an anti-pattern and counter-productive.

You just need to use classes when appropriate and necessary and then rely on the inherent and predictable relations between HTML elements to supply styling information and close the deal.
But when something is a decentralized immutable ledger and global consensus, it tends to solve problems of decentralized immutable ledgers and global consensus.
Everything is a cost center, since costs must always be allocated. In this case, we're talking about something being only a cost center, since there's no revenue center associated to it.

If you stop calling it "cost center" and decide to call it "pure awesomeness ninja center" won't make a difference, people will just attribute the same meaning to the new word.

On your point on competitiveness, I completely agree, just like HR having awesome hiring and retention policies can do miracles for a company, even if it's just a cost center.

Legal too, for any major corporation legal is just a cost center, but one that routinely saves the company from total obliteration.

Being a cost center or a revenue center has no relation to the relevance of the people involved.
I'm not really aware of that, as it's hard to infer CSS architecture when the final "build" is minified and built from a preprocessor. We would need something public. Maybe https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/ ? I'm obvious "partial" to BEM.

Give me a few 1980s-vintage robot arms and I will outperform this system in any category except entertainment value.

The fat burning zone (I prefer the term "fat burning bias" because it's not a switch but a gradient) would only begin to dominate as you use up all the energy in the food you eat. Any food you eat (not just carbs!!!) will cause insulin to be released, which "smothers" the fat release signaling (just like you wouldnt dip into savings when you have cash on hand). Only when available food energy diminishes, and therefore insulin diminishes does the catecholamine (epinephrine, etc) signal dominate, driving body-fat release for use as metabolic fuel.

Bootstrap is quite the opposite of what I'd consider good CSS architecture (although it's obviously a great project). Way too much reliance on DOM structure.

From age 7 to 21 I had Janz Syndrome and back in the day (at least where I live) epilepsy was a big social taboo. It was pretty common for people think you were "retarded" for just being affected by it -- even though mine was sort of okay for treatment, with only sporadic GTCs. News like that nearly make me cry a bit, for real, this is incredible stuff. Not because of Apple or some fancy API of course, but because ordinary technology can finally do something for people with these conditions. I bet my parents would have given anything, their whole world, to have a way to be alerted when their small kid was about to have a generalized tonic-clonic seizure so they could be prepared.

My understanding is that OTA HDTV is actaully uncompressed, which means you get the best HDTV picture quality when receiving over the air.

Cable, uVerse, DirecTV etc all compress their HDTV signals resulting in far more artifacts and pixelization. It is far more noticable when you have a 120 inch projector displaying a football game with lots of moving images etc.

Question I don't know the answer to:

Is there any chance that ECC is vulnerable to similar issues with static universally agreed upon constants. In ECC these are curves, and is it feasible to "pre-crack" a curve? Or is the space so huge in this case that it would take millions of years of compute time to do so?

Someone who knows ECC math better than I do would have to answer this one.
Liquid cooling as quieter than air is debatable. Liquid cooling has pumps that make noise. Personally I am going with air.

Note again:

"The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for 2014 was the highest among all years since record keeping began in 1880."

The science identified the reason for it, it was estimated long ago and it's known. Long term means that we can, as maybe too simplified example, expect on the average only once in decades to get the new whole-world all times high (the fluctuations are the property of the system) but that they will steadily come, the trend is: "hotter" on the average. Not every single year.

> predictions for twenty to fifty years out are nothing but hedge bets.

Wrong. CO2 in atmosphere, the impact of it are the facts, and the speed it increases isn't something that can change much without willful action.

As someone with an embedded C and C++ background, I have to admit, the world of web programming seems bewildering and alien with all its frameworks and workflow engines and module bundlers and virtualization and containers. Does anyone even write code anymore, or has web programming simply become a systems integration problem?

The thing is, we already know that the brain influences the gut, but this doesn't seem to be mentioned. All these hand-wavy press releases seem to be saying it's a mystery why IBS is linked to anxiety and depression, and yet there is very good evidence that the HPA axis significantly influences gut motility, absorption and bacteria.

As for gut-influencing-brain studies, they seem to be quite problematic. You basically have a scientist looking at a mouse and saying "he's running around a bit more than usual".

These studies get upvoted quite often here. It's almost as if people don't want to take responsibility for their anxiety and depression...

Statistics are not racist just because liberals don't like them, nor are inaccurate statements. It's said that people avoid discussing an issue (a very small portion of the population commits the majority of the crimes, proportionally) because of fear of being accused of racism, even though no one said anything racist such as "they are criminals _because_ they are black". Liberal media goes further and avoids reporting black on white crimes ( majority of interracial crimes) and makes scandals on white on black crimes. Of course if the vast majority of the population is white, in absolute numbers there will be more white criminals, and more white X. Now take proportions into account.
Interestingly enough, the most popular item on Chinese take-out menus (General Tso's Chicken) is fried chicken with sugary glaze. If you combine the most popular American Chinese dishes which are fried chicken (Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Orange Chicken) into one group then you could consider American Chinese food basically just fried chicken shops.

Up until recently I would not have agreed with you. However, recently I've skipped on Gulp and Grunt and it has helped me with various things:

* Saves me time so I don't need to figure out why a Gulp/Grunt script is behaving erratically, such as a watch that crashes even though exceptions are being caught for it

* Reduces my development depenencies, which helps with the following two things:

* There's less of a chance that there will be a package that needs to be built that will crash and burn on Windows

* I don't need to download a shit ton of stuff from NPM every time I clone from Git

* Helps me think about my architecture critically as I don't want to do anything too complicated outside of Gulp/Grunt

* I don't need to wait for someone to make a plugin for a test runner
