In meditation retreat I was told that meditation (Vipassana in this case) is actually practicing in being prepared to die. According to this idea by doing this you can live fully. For me this seems a bit vague, but it did plant a seed in my head.

The thing is, meditation teaches you equanimity, which from my understanding means being able to feel but without judgement. When I was in deep meditation I experienced equanimity a couple of times. At one point my muscles were aching so much by sitting perfectly still that I walked like a cripple after that meditation session. My body just could not perform normally, which I found odd in a sense. Yet, I never felt any pain, I noticed my body was having a hard time sitting perfectly upright in a still position, that was it. Or perhaps better said: I did feel a form of pain (aka that something is wrong with my body), but I never experienced any suffering from it. The converse is also true with regards to pleasure (e.g. small forms of non-clinical addiction).

What I learned from practicing equanimity is that I prefer to die while using this skill. Because to me it means I won't die by suffering from pain or pleasure, I just die and experience how it feels. It could be pain, it might be pleasure, either way I just experience it and nothing more.

Note: while equanimity has to be explained through language, it's not an intellectual concept in the sense that riding a bike isn't an intellectual concept. It's something you do. Intellectualising about riding a bike won't get you anywhere, same goes for equanimity in the way that I've been taught.
I love my iphone 6+, it's just too big for my hands. The double-swipedown on home button couldn't fully eliminate the need to use both hands in order to get to a screen spot. The regular 4.7" should be perfect.
I kind of like that idea. Remember can mean so much and fits more use cases.

first prebuilt pc was a gw2k p120 when i was in middle school. also the first computer i installed linux on - slackware. we started on macs but they had gone downhill by then.

this was way before the era of cheap multi function routers. it lasted me/my family 10 years (performing various server-ish functions including firewall/router, print server, file server, etc.) and taught me the skills i use every day to make a living. i believe it was still working just fine when we recycled it, it was just too power hungry compared to newer machines.

Ugh, being really cold sucks.

I live in the Yukon, and get out and about in -40 regularly. I've had hypothermia a couple of times, and it's not particularly nice. I imagine at some point you stop feeling, but everything before that isn't nice.
I got to go to a "gifted school" in 6th and 7th grade. The biggest difference was that I didn't have to worry about my physical safety there. It's a lot easier to focus on spelling when you aren't worried about getting punched in the face.
Here's the twist. What if they build a ton of houses and get the second tier cities hooked up to infrastructure such that they create housing booms further inland at the expense of costal property. New capital is always being created and developed and the central planners in China aren't that bad at this. You just have a different set of winners this time around with the marginal profitability of Shanghai slowing down in favor of the Inland cities.

In the US urban infrastructure is garbage outside of a few major metros so all the money piles into those and the rest is is ignored and then bubbles and pops. China actually does development like they mean it and is expanding out thousands of miles of roads and trains building out new markets so the new money injected can find a way to profitably invest itself.
When I die, I would like to be immediately resuscitated and be told I had just died.

OP here.

You're probably right it's not all real time. I figured it wasn't completely unreasonable to treat it as such because when you watch it, most of it does feel RT and we pretty much see everything that happens in an uninterrupted way.

But for the sake of argument, even if the analysis is skewed a bit, it does suggests they were missing a lot of tracks. So if some of the sequence can be considered RT and some of it not, for them to reach the 88 mph in under 3 miles, probably a lot of it would need to be non-RT, which didn't feel right to me based on the way it's presented in the movie.

Totally agree it would be awesome to be able to figure out what overlaps. Thanks for the comment!
I find this very creative. It might coax many to actually read the Terms.

Would you mind clarifying what you mean about the definition of "unanimous" in this context? Even if it technically means "not actually unanimous" it still seems pretty misleading to me. Why would they explicitly say that every shareholder supports the decision when they mean that a majority of shareholders support it?

I track the pubsub subscribers on each client connection, but I'm not sure what you mean by a multiplexed process for the pubsub channel.

Depending on your traffic patterns, considering the broadcast activity is potentially important, and then you might worry more about CPU than RAM.

No they're not. CO2 and NOx have different effects on the population and on our environment. And yes, one is worse than the other. No, CO2 isn't wonderful, but mole for mole, CO2 is strictly preferable to NOx.

Yes, we should strive to reduce both. But they're nowhere near equivalent.

EDIT: I do agree with you though, I also hope this cripples them financially. I don't want to see them dead, but the consequences from this cheating should be so enormous that the company has a collective nightmare about this for the next several decades.
Kadanoff was a giant, one of the most influential physicists the general public doesn't know about. He was the first person to really understand what the renormalization procedure does. It had been previously regarded as a somewhat suspicious trick; Feynman famously called it a 'dippy process". After Kadanoff & Wilson's work, it was recognized as the central organizing principle of quantum field theory.

Congress has been much more lenient on the Defense Department than on publicly traded corporations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a response to the Enron Corp and other turn-of-the-century accounting scandals, imposes criminal penalties on corporate managers who certify false financial reports. "The concept of Sarbanes-Oxley is completely foreign" to the Pentagon, says Mike Young, a former Air Force logistics officer who for years has been a consultant on, and written about, Defense Department logistics.

The equivalence raised was to yazriel's point of any considerations of future energy generation methods really need to be taking into account the rapid growth of renewables, and not just rapid, but exponential. Which if your unfamiliar with can be rather unintuitive. For example the human genome project was scheduled/planned for something like 10 years, in the ninth year the project was only 50% complete, but the next year the genome was fully sequenced on schedule because the technology and methods for doing so were proceeding at an exponential pace.

So the basic point is, if the available evidence is saying that it is quite likely that renewables will be covering the large majority of our energy needs rather soon then taking any undue risks, or generating energy in ways that involve long lasting undesirable effects are really the epitome of the kind of short term thinking that has gotten us into the environmental mess we are in, and is really a huge middle finger to our descendants, and that's not very nice.

Really, it could even be argued that as long our observations are telling us what they are now about the future of renewables that any present day expenditures on energy development[0] that aren't renewable focused are a huge middle finger to our descendants, and it is immoral for us to do so.

>> How is that a citation proving that heroin is controllable if only the heroin was pure

I didn't say that.

My point was that people can lead functional lives on heroin with families and jobs. If the heroin is impure, laced with dangerous chemicals or of unknown strength then the cutting agents can harm people or they may overdose.

Clean heroin is free of harmful cutting agents, of known purity and not laced with other drugs. You mock the term "clean heroin" but that's what it is.

You misread my original post.

Watch out for notices during the upgrade. Check the forums if anything warns/fails.

So far I only ran into one issue over 2 years, so it's not bad. But otherwise, all the data I have is backed up, so I don't mind restoring the system from scratch if everything fails.

Or to put it more bluntly: if you're afraid of upgrades, that's a good sign you should fix your backup strategy.
This probably doesn't affect the author and commit stats for mozilla-central all that much. The various upstream libraries we use are updated infrequently, in single commits.

1Password is great. Love it.

I have been getting excited about Universal Two-Factor auth tokens. Sure, yet another standard, but U2F seems dead-simple from user perspective, and easy for developers to add to web apps.

If we rely more upon web-browser front-ends for 1Password UX, I'd feel way more comfortable with some kind of two-factor auth for the password vaults themselves.

I have inadvertently submitted my 1pw vault password to web sites, usually because keyboard focus changed and I didn't notice. Real people will inevitably do this from time to time, even in the absence of malicious phishing.

Good luck!
Searching the invisible
Abruptly. People sometimes think they want time to wrap up their affairs but as someone who has done some grief counseling in the past o e of the saddest things I have seen repeatedly is long drawn out terminal illnesses and their effect on friends and families. Invariably your loved ones after seeing you in pain for months on end will have the thought "maybe it would be better if you just died instead of continuing to suffer". And then you do, and even though it is absurd they then feel immense guilt for wishing you would hurry up and die. Or after the first month of shock is over and they have visited you every day, they start to get back to their normal lives, not able to miss another day of school or work, then when they have t seen you for a week or two, you die, leaving them again filled with guilt. It just tears people apart.

I wish for a quick and somewhat unexpected death. I would rather leave people wishing they had a chance to say goodbye than have them feel guilty that they had the chance but decided to go to work or school instead.

And my grandfather walked picket lines and got shot at. Robber barons were at the peak of their power. Children were exploited as laborers.

Let's also quote Anthony Trollope, a Victorian Londoner who was no stranger to pollution:

“Pittsburgh without exception is the blackest place which I ever saw, the site is picturesque, even the filth and wondrous blackness are picturesque.... I was never more in love with smoke and dirt than when I stood and watched the darkness of night close in upon the floating soot which hovered over the city.”

And that was in the 1860's! It only got worse from there until the 1940's.

Your rosy assessment of the country prior to the 1920's has no basis in historical fact.

Had the same issues. Once you have enough ships you end up being able to buy another one each round trip of trading. There is no reason to even have weapons since the ships jump to the next system so fast. Even then if all the pirate ships decide to target your ship you can die extremely fast with the best shields available.
So I end up removing all the weapons from the new ship and just adding more cargo space. Then reloading when I am basically instant killed.
Earlier versions (or fragments of earlier versions) exist for most parts of the New Testament. I believe the interesting thing about this work is that it's "complete".

The original texts are in Greek, and the King James version is an English translation. Differences between the original and a modern English version would have less to do with uncertainty about the original text than with the difficulties of doing translations. The various English versions in use take different approaches to translation: some attempt to stay true to the original wording, while others are less rigid and attempt to use phrasing that is more intelligible to a modern reader.
In a parliamentary context, "unanimous consent" means "no dissenting voices" - ie, no "no" votes, not accounting for those silent or absent.
There is room for confusion. From Wikipedia "Unanimity":

"Unanimity may be assumed explicitly after a unanimous vote or implicitly by a lack of objections."

"Practice varies as to whether a vote can be considered unanimous if some voter abstains."

Unanimous consent as stated by Theranos means (a) the majority / necessary number of shareholders gave a response and (b) none of those responses were of dissent. The quoted shareholder may still be surprised that the shareholders who did vote were a large enough group and in unanimous agreement; it's not necessarily wrong of the author to include this. Edit: The wording of the quote however does come across as though they misunderstood the consent part however.
Am I naive for thinking the iPhone cost less than $600? I don't know what I thought it might have cost, I've never been interested enough to go looking. I...just might have expected it to be less than the PC upgrades I occasionally fantasize about.

I'm a bit happier with the price/performance ratio of my much, much too old smartphone after seeing that price tag.
I'm not talking about upstream libraries (we have those too, like hyper).

The libraries under github.com/servo are just Servo components (some of them are used by other people, though) which are in different repos. These are maintained by the Servo team and in many cases Servo-specific, for example our HTML parser, CSS parser, URL library, and our layers/geometry logic. Also, eventually, most of our rendering logic.

I disagree that it's half-baked, in fact this is a huge victory. A step in the right direction, indeed. Now, if only we can keep from going two steps back.
You know what I wish? I wish we could put all those good, solid, upper middle class engineering jobs to work on our nation's infrastructure, medical device engineering, next-gen power generation, whatever, something useful to pass onto future generations--and directly useful, not just the "useful as a side-effect" that military work sometimes ends up being.
It's fairly close, but of course there are differences. The King James translators were basing their Bible off of previous English translations and guided by the Textus Receptus rather than this manuscript or critical editions (which didn't exist yet). There were some politics involved that biased translations here and there, but the theological implications aren't that significant. And there are some mistakes in translation that slipped through.

The most significant difference between this text and the King James is probably the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_Johanneum , which is likely a forged addition to later Greek editions of the New Testament providing explicit textural support for the doctrine of the Trinity.

The King James translation is rather dated, though. Some modern translations are much, much better in the sense that they come from a reconstructed text using the earliest manuscripts and they use our modern knowledge of Koine Greek.

Jim died just as he had lived: in a darkly lit room waiting for a deploy script to finish running while through tears of exhaustion he tried to focus on a screen crawling with log entries he could make nothing of. Tabbing back and forth to sterile commentless code, that did everything except the one thing it was obviously supposed to do, ignoring, for just a little while longer, the ringing in his head and the faint scent of springtime morning urging him to sleep, and that other, stronger scent, exhorting him to do some laundry.

He passed away peaceably at his keyboard, the deploy failed, and eventually the team had to roll back the changes.

Jim died in the best possible way: working on staging. He would have wanted it that way.
