> The more I learn about cognitive biases, the more I think they're probably the cause of almost all interpersonal conflict in modern society

Whereas the more I understand about affective impulses, the more I think they're definitely the root cause of all interpersonal conflicts in any society.

There is no doubt that cognitive biases play a part, but they ultimately hinge on -- and stem from -- the affective impulses.
For me, flickr works because I can drag photos that I've processed in Lightroom to the jfriedl publishing service, hit publish, and they go up to flickr where I can share them or people can just stumble across them. I have no doubt the discoverability is better than if I put them on my own site and I do indeed have people contacting me from time to time to use a photo for something or other. (And doubtless, many uses that I don't know about.)

It's not a big thing but the very modest price, the low friction, and contributing to the commons in however small a way work for me.
We're not doing it right now, but rest assured that we find that fascinating too.
You're not considering a handful of other variables here:

(1) Convenience - There's limited market demand for royalty-free music that you have to manually edit and sort through yourself. By virtue of making it simple enough for consumers (vs. professionals) to use, the market got a lot bigger. By way of comparison, you could have said that there was limited market demand for mobile apps prior to the App Store. But the convenience the App Store offered with respect to finding and installing apps made all the difference.

(2) Licensing - This is proof of concept for the overall technology. You could view Jukedeck as a play to simply generate the sort of interest you need to get larger players interested in licensing tech, rather than an end-game in and of itself. E.g. you could imagine Apple licensing the tech for use in iMovie.

(3) Legal risk - It's one thing to say some random music track on the Internet is royalty free. It's quite another to prove it. There's no easy way to guarantee that the supposed original author of a track didn't copy it from someone else. This might seem like an edge case, but per the above points, if Jukedeck licensed their tech to companies like Apple, those legal issues become much bigger deals. Algorithmic music simplifies the legal question quite a bit.
> See, there it is again - SHOWING UP.

Whatever you call it, it is in fact an outcome, and one with a demonstrated influence on other outcomes of interest, so its one that it make sense to target as a means of targeting those other outcomes.

> You didn't say "getting a degree" or "graduating to a high paying job" or even "putting themselves in a position to succeed in life"

Incorrect. I didn't mention the first. I did mention future income as something that increased attendance of formal education is demonstrated to affect, even short of getting a degree.

I didn't mention the third because it is a fuzzy concept, of which the second (which, again, I did mention) is a concrete operationalization.

> That's the problem - merely attending isn't enough to address any historical disadvantage other than "spent at least a day on a college campus as a student".

You assert this, but there is considerable evidence that further educational attainment, even at the level between "graduated high school" and "some college", has positive influence on other outcomes, including future income and one's childrens' future outcomes, including their own level of educational attainment.

> In a list of historical disadvantages, this is just above "has used a ski lift at least once" in importance.

I am aware of no evidence supporting that the difference between "some ski lift use" and "no ski lift use", controlling for other known contributing factors, has any significant positive contribution to one's future income or other important outcome measures, either one's own or one's children. So, no, I don't think this is correct, at all.

> Attendance does not address true disadvantage unless the other three also improve

While I'd want graduation and other factors that assume graduation to improve as well, the actual evidence is inconsistent with the claim that attendance without graduation has no effect on reducing disadvantage.

Languages are generally simplified by contact with other languages, and because of the Norman Invasion, and later the British Empire, English has had a lot of of contact. Inversely, the more isolated a language is (e.g., by mountain ranges or seas) the more complex and idiosyncratic it tends to become.

So yes, English has historically adapted more quickly than many other languages, but this doesn’t have anything to do with the language itself.

If rationality were a requirement for progress, progress wouldn't exist. The beautiful fact of evolutionary processes it's that rationality is not necessary. But I digress...

Needs change with time. In the current context, if Go is an improvement in some tech areas I think it will get some degree of success. Otherwise I think will decline after the first hype.

By the way, I agree with you about writing more code to overcome language limits. The hope here is that using idiomatic Go you will end up, no matter what, with a reasonably understandable code base, even for libraries and tools. It's a goal, I don't know if reachable or not.
That doesn't make any sense. "There should always be something higher than your ideals and goals" is a contradiction; if there were something higher, it'd become your ideal or goal.

It seems especially incongruous to suggest that I should be putting other people's ideals over my own. Just how would you propose anybody accomplish such a thing? How is anybody supposed to make the best possible decisions when they are to assume that only someone else could make better decisions? That's idiotic.

And why would you ask anyone to place self-determination above their own ideals? Despite the fact that this is a contradiction as I mentioned above, it isn't a thing worthy of intrinsic praise. Self determination isn't good unless you're determined to do good, and determined enough to actually do what it takes to achieve your ideals. So it can't be above your ideals.

>Unless you are God, you should hesitate to sacrifice others based on your judgement.

Most of those that do will hesitate. But they'll end up sacrificing them anyway, and you'll still be lambasting them for their short-sightedness, because you can't understand the scope of that hesitation from atop your pedestal. Of course, you can see just fine in hind-sight. That's not really a talent.

All in all, you're just saying "People are morally corrupt unless they do what I think is right," which is exactly the same thing they'd say about you. What you offer isn't a solution, it's a complete failure to understand the conflict.
I'm not sure that I expressed myself the best above based on your response, but partly that's because of the difficulty in discussing topics like this across religious traditions.

I would disagree that violence is caused by the judgement, 'you are right, I am wrong'. I think that violence is ultimately caused by sin, vis a vis Augustinian total depravity. But the justification for violence, often among Christians, is self-righteousness (or put another way, pride).

But again, this is a difficult issue to discuss between religions because the basic assumptions are different and terminology has slightly different meanings.

Why not just build digital antenna into SlingBoxen? It could even produce a map with a diagram showing you how to aim the antenna, and what length to configure it to. The app could even display a real-time signal strength display.

yeah, that's a really freaking good idea. One gets bored of hearing the same music over and over again in a video game... and having something plays to the right ambient mood (battle, wandering, etc) would be really cool.
This is correct. Boiling water scalds the tea giving it a burnt-out taste. Of course this depends on the tea. I find it less true for black tea such as Darjeeling (my personal favorite), but for green tea it is absolutely imperative or lest the liquid produced be undrinkable.

All this talk about boiling water must have to do with the pathetic quality of the tea being used, like hotness masks the flavor of inferior saki.

I was the same way, and still am to a certain degree, but I've been experimenting a bit.

I started out by trying the pomodoro thing again. 25 minutes of uninterrupted time. Ringer off, chat off, focused on the task at hand. I played around with a few different tools, but I've got at least a handful of machines that I work on, and it was a pain in the ass to try to find a cross-platform solution.

What I ended up settling on was to use my phone as the timer, and a spreadsheet to keep a list of what I'd accomplished and what I had left to do. I used Smartsheets, but google docs or whatever would work fine too. And here's where the interesting part came in!

For the first week or two, I followed it pretty closely. 25 minutes of work, 5 minute rest, repeat. And then... one day I realized that my phone was upstairs, I was feeling pretty good about doing some work, and so I figured I'd start a task and just keep an eye on the clock. Hour and a half of productive time goes by before I even look down at the clock again! On crappy days, I'm not anywhere near the point where I can stay focused for long stretches, and in those cases I fall back onto the 25-5 routine, but for good days I seem to have gotten my ability to focus back quite well!

Ask HN: How does something like Google's quantum comp. mean for crypto currency?
In this[0] article and a few others, it sounds like there is some headway being made in QC. Bitcoin, and encryption more generally, will likely be impacted majorly if the 100,000,0000x number is to be believed. Even orders of magnitude less, outside a lab, would probably be agame changer for crypto.

Anyone have any info on these claims being legitimate and their impact on crypto?

Are you asking why do people care about ethics? That's a philosophical question almost. But at some point people do. We agree to laws that people shouldn't murder each other, even if you find it might be manifestly in your interests to knock someone off.

GoPro is a $2.5B company based around low cost equipment for amateur film makers. They produce film editors that let you edit your films around per-licensed sound tracks.

Let me say that again - you make your film around the sound track they supply.

The opportunity for Jukedeck isn't competing with the thousands of individual composers 1-on-1. It is building a platform that generates sound tracks automatically, and selling the platform as software both to end users and sub-licensing it to companies like GoPro.
That could imply that you have a license to use the work, rather than ownership.
What a neat way to amass a corpus of reading comprehension data. They collected about a million news stories from CNN and Daily Mail.

Well said, though it might be more generous to say that using guidelines like the Itoen ones are a good jumping-off point, but that ideally everyone should experiment with temp, time, and tea quality to make something they like to drink. For example, it's common in China today for people to drink green tea that's been steeping for long periods of time in travel cups with a strainer in the lid - steeping indefinitely (aka 'stewing') is supposedly against the rules (but lack of the time to use a teapot has changed the rules).
> So all I have to do is simply pirate it and the restrictions don't apply to me?

The "restrictions" are limitations on permissions which do not exist without the license. So, sure, the restrictions don't apply to you, because you have been given no permissions with regard to the work, so there is no point in imposing conditions on those permissions.

I think the word you're looking for is "vendetta", or "revenge", and generally isn't considered a valid legal defense for violence.

If I find out that someone punched my kid, I'm not allowed to drive to their house with a baseball bat and hit them with it. If I happen to be carrying a bat, and someone starts punching me, I'm _probably_ allowed to use it for defense ... but I am not a lawyer and there are many nuances there as well. :)
I grew up in Jersey, and for sure there's a lot that I don't like about the place.

Still I found this article very poorly-written, poorly-researched, sensational, weighed down by anecdotes, cliches and an exhausting "Poor UK, evil Jersey" pattern. It gets worse as the piece goes on, increasingly opinionated and accusatory.

I am not an expert, but I sense that very many factors went into creating the situation there, many of them outside forces, and it's not possible or helpful to caricature an entire island in this way to look for a simple cause and effect relationship.

The Library of Babel that is online has those limits, yes. Which is why I explicitly mentioned I wasn't referring to the website.

>(There is an extended Library that contains entire novels to be searched - the web version is a bit smaller/limited to pages.)

The creator has variations of the code that aren't online. For example, lower-case alphabetical letters was a choice to "remain true to the original concept" but a base64 variation that allows for capital letters is possible. Furthermore - searching for entire books rather than being limited to 3,200 characters is also possible. Also other languages would also be possible but require further variations of the code.

It's just having this work on the web to a website that sees 30-40k daily visitors because the algorithm isn't fast enough to meet those demands.

E:

Rate limited in posts. My reply to the below is as follows:

Your claims only hold for the web version. I was not speaking of the web version. So you are explicitly wrong. There is a version of the library that is not limited to those characters, that is not limited to lowercase Latin alphabet, and is not limited to being searched 3,200 characters at a time. So what are you contending by making such statements?

Yes. The web version is held to those limits. Which is why I explicitly mentioned I was not referring to the web version. Your claims only hold against the web version. So I'm not seeing the point you are trying to make here.

I'll concede that. Does ASCII art of a Chinese character represent the same information as the Chinese character? That's stretching things so I'm not making that as a counterpoint - but more of a thought experiment.
