From the blurb, "However, the economics of planting a LOT more trees were terrible. He was horrified at how technologically-lagged the forest re-planting industry was compared to logging or…well…any other industry. The lack of technology meant replanting was extremely expensive. Planters had to be imported to remote regions for temporary work, and were given nothing but the same rudimentary tools of the 1940’s to plant: Just a bag and shovel."

...and they seem to have at least identified the obvious issues. Drones don't care about terrain, so things that really slow down human workers - like swampy ground or alpine terrain - aren't a problem. I can see great potential in applying the system to wetland forest.
Twitter Moments as a Platform
I'd say mostly for the middle ground. Celebrities and politicians (of any significance), have already "made it" and they don't really need Twitter aid their reach - mainstream media is all too ready to cover their stories. At the "low" end of the spectrum you have people who are basically consumers - they might not produce much interesting content but they are important for content creators. In the sort of middle ground you have people who are making stuff - youtube videos, games, applications, art, crafts, books, comics -- even just meaningful Twitter commentary. Twitter makes it easier to find and interact with these people than alternate solutions (Googling, Facebook, etc). I'm not sure how much value Twitter really has for generic businesses - I think its more about individuals than the businesses they run (this can easily be seen in the amount of people who follow company accounts vs individuals).

Last time I seen one of their ads, they emphasized that their code base is still D1. I don't know whether that changed since then.
But doesn't this then violate "no information faster than speed of light"? I.e. You measure A at angle a, I measure B (entangled with A) at angle b, and the resulting distribution gives me some information about your angle a. If I repeat this with enough particles, I can be reasonably certain about what a is.
Because interpretations are just that, interpretations. They are intended to let us understand it intuitively, but the math behind them is always the same.

Question. How is this any different to writing A on one piece of paper, then B on another piece of paper, and selecting one randomly, then giving the other piece to someone else. Then the other person travels a light year away from us, and we both look at our pieces of paper simultaneously, at pre-agreed time. If mine says "A" then I know the other one says "B", and vice-versa. I instantly know the state of something that is a light year away, even though no information was actually transmitted. Isn't this how quantum entanglement works in principle?

The 1% Now Owns Half of All the Wealth in the Entire World
exgrv's commment, the way I read it, was arguing for something less radical: "simply" insourcing the work of the journal publishers, and having it done by scientists (maybe allocating more resources to scientists so that the workload remains sane).

What you are proposing (arxiv.org + PageRank) is quite a shakeup. My impression is that while pretty good at using the position in the graph to establish relevance, such a model is much less effective at gauging quality (which is the problem, if you want to use bibliometric scores as a way to establish whose careers are to advance). In other term, the outcome of a search for "cloud computing" is certainly pertinent with the subject. That is not how you would choose which cloud service to use.

Of course, it may well be possible that the human judgment component is codifiable in a few hundred/thousand of heustics (sounds like a hard problem, but it's not my field), thus allowing the construction of a good model.
> The results might be "accurate" when stored on the nameserver but if they get tampered with in transit went sent over the wire then they are not "accurate" when they are received. In that case DNSSEC does not give me accurate results.

Here's where you're wrong. A zone isn't just signed in isolation. If it was, then DNSSEC would indeed be completely useless. Rather, there's a chain of trust from the root nameservers up to the nameservers for the domain in question, and in each case you can request a DS (delegation signer) record to show that a zone served by a subordinate nameserver hasn't been tampered with.

Now, this has its own issues if you're not a fan of the hierarchical nature of DNS, but it guarantees that even though the data is sent in the clear, some bad actor can't modify it in transit without breaking everything.

DNSCurve is a nice bonus, but the guarantee that the records being served cannot have been tampered with given by DNSSEC is much more fundamentally important.
It doesn't make any different predictions from the Copenhagen interpretation. That makes the question of which of the two (or of the various other interpretations) is "right" untestable, and therefore unscientific.

Magnetic effects are local, since photons are sent between the objects; ie. distant objects don't interact with each other, they interact with photons locally, which then "carry" the force to the other object, where they again act locally.

IANAP, but that is probably not a correct picture. Photons carry energy and therefore if you imagine electrically or magnetically charged objects sending out a constant stream of photons in order to mediate electric or magnetic forces you quickly get a problem with conservation of energy.

In fact, magnetism is a realtivistic effect; it's how the electrostatic force behaves when things are moving.

This also seems at least not accurate to me - relativity turns electric forces into magnetic forces and vice versa when you change reference frames, but they are not the same thing, they are two different aspects.

The real way to perform clean update is using a load balancer, offloading instances for upgrade one at a time.

Also please people stop deploying using github. Package management & versioning IS a thing.

> rsync -avz ./ user@remote:/home/user/web-app

This is not an atomic update, meaning that you could end up loading modules from the new version from code of the older version. Use a new directory to upload the new files.

> venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

You do not delete the old requirements, this is incrementally bloating the virtualenv. Just create a new one, virtualenv are designed to be created/removed quickly.

> venv/bin/alembic upgrade head

Huu, that's nice if you only have 1 instance to upgrade at a time. Otherwise it will just blow up.

One of the perks of living in a diverse capital is that you can pick and choose the various foreign influences that you like (try Turkish or Indonesian cuisine!), while ignoring the ones you don't care for (I'm not going to fast for a month each year, forget it)

The thing is, you can't tell other people they should or shouldn't be offended by something just because you are or aren't. It just doesn't work that way. If someone's feelings are hurt, their feelings are hurt, even if they shouldn't be. If someone feels offended by a westerner wearing a kimono, you are going to have to deal with that fact. You might conclude that you don't care about offending them, but telling them they shouldn't be offended will only make it worse.
In a sense 'maybe not'. This would violate the bell test anyways as you predetermine the outcome by writing it down. Someone already knows what is on the paper. This is thus also subluminal communication as the outcome was already determined at the start (assuming you traveled at subluminal velocities). The idea of the entanglement states that the spin of the electrons is determined at the same time which guarantees their connection, not the outcome of the spin.

The Zombie-Mobile: Car brands no longer reflect differentiation
Objects exist that we cannot see.

Those words provoke little controversy when spoken about matter beyond the visible universe. Why? Because the simplest mathematical description we have of the objects we can see also includes those which in principle we cannot. We grant them the same ontological status as the Earth we stand on -- few would claim them as mere fictions to ease our task of prediction.

Occam's Razor properly applied limits the amount of information in the description, not the amount of things the description describes. For example, pi's infinite decimal expansion is spared by this information theoretic razor. If you reject the multiverse, your full description of the universe must contain one bit for every binary "choice" the universe made, every qubit that collapsed. Quite a few bits that turns out to be. The multiverse description suffers no such flaw, as it contains only the initial conditions and the rules by which those conditions change over time.

It's different because if you pass quantum entangled information to the other person, you will be able to cooperate more effectively with them on certain games using that information. It's explained very well in the second paragraph of this article: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=2464 .

In a simplified way, this is what Bell's theorem tells you: That quantum informations behaves fundamentally different than "precalculated" random information.
Pretty cool - it reminds me of the Cisco IOS ping command.
Kapuscinski has an outstanding piece on both of these projects in his book "Imperium".

There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_IX :

> I can't tag you if you don't have a Facebook account.

I have no idea if that's true now. Historically, this was encouraged. I know my name has been added on pictures by my sister, at a minimum. I've never had an account at FB and never will. I'm assuming it is common knowledge on HN that just because you haven't registered an account with facebook doesn't mean your account doesn't exist.[1]

> That typing someone's name without their consent should not be allowed?

Obviously not. This thread is about credit scores, which facebook shouldn't be influencing based on hearsay. The bigger point is that "failure to opt-out" is not consent.

> Victim blaming is quickly becoming a term for "I don't like how the reality works, so I'll just throw a temper tantrum".

Absolutely not. Just because technology has allowed a power shift away from individual rights doesn't mean that's the way "reality works". The entire point of law is that we shape these aspects of society. It is not a "temper tantrum" to point out that responsibility doesn't fall upon the individual just because a rent-seeking corporation framed the discussion in that manner.

An easier to understand variant of this problem is so-called "identity theft". Nobody can steal your identity. They can impersonate you, but you still are the same person. The actual problem is e.g. banks giving loans to people without properly verifying the identity of the person. As a 3rd party, the bank has no valid reason to involve you in their, but by calling it "identity theft" they re-frame the situation as if was the your responsibility to keep your identity from being stolen (which is basically impossible).

One thing I would love to see is a folder-based music view like you have artist/album views.

I don't tag my songs, I just organise them in folders about three levels deep. What I'd like to see is a folder tree of my music folder on the left and all the files in that folder, plus all subfolders recursively, on the right. The only player I remember getting this right was amarok (now clementine). I've never once in my life ever wanted my songs listed by album or artist. I have my file manager to organise my files and they're already organised. It's really silly to ask me to organise them again in a different way that doesn't really fit my organisational style.

How to Automatically Tweet the Top Product Hunt Every Day
At least when it comes to food, a small selection feels curated, as if the grocery owner is vetting this food for me and saying "These are the jams I find worth your time". A supermarket with 8 brands and 38 total selections didn't take the time to help me. I suppose it's like when non-techies walk into Best Buy and there are 40 laptops to choose from, ranging from Atoms/Celerons to various i7 types. We have all done it before on the phone: "anything but the Celeron... yes it's cheaper... but it's slow, just don't get those" - basically we narrow down the selection significantly by saying "at least 4GB ram, i3,i5,i7".

The analogy is not perfect because there's a big price difference in laptops. But making the consumer feel "safer" with their choice by eliminating the really bad choices up front lets them shop worry-free. This small selection thing can be bad too, though - I for one hate shopping at Walmart because I know without a doubt that whatever I am purchasing is the absolute lowest common denominator in terms of quality. They might have 2 different types of lawn chairs, and you better believe that both will fall apart just after the 1 year warranty is up. It all comes down to trust; if you trust the store in their selection, you'll enjoy shopping there.

Thanks for the reply. I've been doing well with understanding the implications of the test and the after effects but I struggled with understanding the state of the two particles themselves. Namely, the trouble was with understanding that no one but the people who entangled the particles are actually aware that they are entangled. There is no way for a stranger to look at two particles (given they were entangled by someone else) that those particles are entangled. They'll look like two normal particles. The answers here have helped me understand this.
I'm not sure your explanation for the lack of spookiness in many worlds works. The essence of most Bell's Theorems experiments is you start with entangled photons (or similar), they travel a long way apart and then go through polarisers at either end and into detectors. The odd thing is that the number getting through both slits depends on the angle between the polarisers. But how does the photon at polariser 1 know what the orientation of polariser 2 is at the time it's pair photo gets there? You can spin the polariser and the chances of it getting through depends on the orientation when the photon gets there, not when it set off. You'd think it can't but experimentally it does. I don't see how that weirdness goes away with many worlds.

(Bell's theorem is basically maths to figure out if the photons have to 'know' the angle between the polarisers rather than just say start off with the same polarisation.)
Pascal also has ranges. "VAR foo : 42...56;"

Don't remember how it handled overflow.

Agreed. It should be a lot more accurate than the estimates we currently use though, where there's often a factor of 10 difference in the number reported depending on the source (protesters vs police/government officials, for example).

I've been part of protests that clearly had at least in the low thousands of participants, that were reported in the media as "a couple hundred people according to police". It'd be nice to have a more objective measure.
