You have theories that say that GTD should work for everyone. I have many first hand accounts from people I know well who tried to make GTD work and failed. I'm going to believe actual experience over your theories. I described their most common failure reasons.

Also your belief that creativity can be scheduled in 2 hour chunks demonstrates that there is a lot you don't understand about creativity.
If anything, that "civility is overrated" is exactly what you'd hear from the NON tolerance brigade (which I'm all in favor of).

No clue at all.
My ancedote here is that it's more about opportunity than educational quality. The "secret sauce" of higher education isn't the course work, or even the individual lecturers (although there is a certain minimum bar there) as evidenced by the growing trend to offer those for free. It is rather a case of brand recognition and access to a given network. The graduate of MIT has pull in pretty much anywhere of her choosing, the Georgia Tech grad faces friction as soon as she leaves the south east, the Clemson grad faces that same friction as soon as she leaves South Carolina (top tier private, top tier public, mid teir public for engineering), all other things being equal. Given the unequal distribution of employment across the nation it seems ridiculous that there are these huge paywalls in connecting qualified students to institutions best suited for them based solely on something as ephemeral as which state their parents are working when they turn 17.
We really lack the labor demand in modern times for a return to feudalism. Arguably the current system is better for the wealthy than feudalism was.
That's just wrong.

Clisp is the most popular lisp bearing the name, but the LISP, Lisp, or lisp family includes Scheme, and Clojure. if you just refer to Lisp, you may be referring to Clisp, the lisp family, or maybe even LISP 1.5, the lisp equivalent of V7 unix.
The gun fires straight ahead. The electrons it produces are deflected in the desired direction by electromagnets.

I don't think it's possible to create a mechanical way of moving the gun fast enough to achieve the needs of even a low-res TV screen. If it was a physical mechanism, you can imagine it'd break all the time.

>Second, you absolutely can build something more stable and predictable than Amazon precisely because you're the one that built it - which means that it is more comprehensible and fails more predictably and gracefully.

This is from you and this is from the wikipedia article on NIH(not invented here) syndrome ...

>Not invented here (NIH) is the philosophical principle of not using third party solutions to a problem because of their external origins. False pride often drives an enterprise to use less-than-perfect invention in order to save face by ignoring, boycotting, or otherwise refusing to use or incorporate obviously superior solutions by others.

Have you never heard of a "tone argument" before.
It appears to me that the "power head" / vtol portion is electric, and that there is a separate - presumably gasoline - "ducted fan" in the rear of the vehicle.

That would eliminate a substantial number of drivetrain complexities for the vtol / early forward portion of flight.

Most of your comments seem geared towards general autism and some to clinical psychology as a field. I mostly agree with it, but it is not really about this article. Furthermore, while autism might just be a label and nothing else, we do need to help people who (or who's friends and family) claim to have mental problems. Your comment about people having "various eccentricities" (perhaps unknowingly) downplays this. Realistically, it's quite hard to tell when people are eccentric or when they are in deep psychological turmoil. At this moment, diagnosing someone with autism, for example, is the most popular method we have -- I wanted to say cutting edge, but that's probably wrong.

For me it was an interesting article. Since gender is partially a cultural and biological construct I can imagine how gender changes the outer appearance of autism. I wish there would be more research on it compared to what the writer claimed there is. Unfortunately, scientists mostly recruit participants that are easy to find.
Out of curiosity, where did you hear about that research on false memories?

Also, how do you know you can rely on your memories of yesterday or memories of things you've learned in school?

I really hope you have the guts to point clear-switch.com customers and prospects to this thread and that you will take their response to heart. Really, you're absolutely incredible, I've yet to see a person responsible for other people's data with such a block-headed attitude to hard won industry experience.
> I really don't think class and pedigree mattering is an American thing.

Of course. That's my first instinct when it comes to my own culture, "that's not an X thing, that's just how people are."

> I suspect you made the common error of pointing out something good about one of the ultra highly developed European countries, noticing that it's not the case in the poorer and more unequal US, and inexplicably thinking the US is the outlier.

When the article sets up the usual narrative of the US leading and inspiring the rest of the world, I think it's topical for me to point out that, no, I don't resonate with those values. From someone who is from 'the rest of the world'.

I don't know how the rest of the world works -- the world other than the US[1] and my own -- and I haven't claimed that the US is some outlier, really. I have pointed out that this particular kind of academic elitism is strange to me, yes. But the rest of the things are what you have filled in.

> Edit: just to expand on this, the problems with the US are a result of the complicated system of cultural, political, and institutional issues. There isn't a Dictator of America who can wake up tomorrow and decree that everyone will believe in some set of enlightened values. So whenever I hear "I can't believe Americans do/think/believe X, that's so silly!" from Europeans, I can't help but think it's no more helpful than "isn't it quaint that Syrians care so much about religion" or "why can't Jews and Palestineans just get along?"

Welcome to being a part of ANY kind of group with an insider perspective, with outsiders looking in. Of course you see your own world as being much more intricate, nuanced and varied than outsiders do. Yes, it's exactly the same as when outsiders of Syria and Israel comment on those places. You are just another group which outsiders have insufficient and even a skewed perspective on. I guess it wasn't as noticeable before when people had a different skewed perspective on the US, but more optimistic. I guess complimentary ignorance isn't as annoying.

And I guess you would know more than me about how class and pedigree works where I live than me (it's a relative comparison, after all). At least you guessed the right continent, so that's a good start.

[1] And I don't have the inside scoop on the US, either. But you know what I mean.
No, but you can build a new lisp :-D. Or just use Shen.
> It does not take a genius to figure out that this is not a sustainable system.

Or it's a more sustainable system. The American lifestyle in the past was mostly propped up by slave labor, both domestically and abroad. The reason the standard of living for the middle class is lower now is in part because of increasing equality. (Ignoring the massive wealth gap domestically, which almost certainly will be unsustainable in the long run.)

Maybe you mean "quality of life" instead of "niceness"?

I find that niceness is incredibly overemphasized, especially in early childhood education and media. Often things are unpleasant, but good to do.
Familliar tasks (including a familiar feeling of uncertainty in math/programming problems) take less energy than meeting unfamiliar people for many people, I would presume.

No not a lot of traffic right now. I figure the higher i can get the conversion rate with low traffic, that should only save me money ramping up the traffic. It is for startup founders - more precisely B2B startup founders. I think a lot of B2B startups could stand to benefit from using each others products. But you're right - that traffic would not apply to most companies outside of that niche. Thanks for the input. :)
I would actually be surprised if that happened. :)

I don't think Phoenix would be as bloated as Rails in 10 years because the platform we are using is just a better platform for the web and for building distributed systems (which Action Cable with Redis plus client-server effectively is).

As an exercise, compare the implementation of channels in Phoenix and Rails. The Phoenix implementation is less lines of code (without counting the dependencies Rails brings in) while being more modular: the PubSub system is pluggable and we support multiple transports between client and server (WebSockets and LongPolling officially, embedded stuff coming soon™). Plus every Phoenix channel is concurrent and isolated. In the screencast, DHH says to avoid work on the channel to avoid blocking, in Phoenix you don't have to worry about it, at all. In this particular scenario, we do much more with much less.

The most interesting of all is that not along ago I had similar expectations as you when it comes to certain parts of Phoenix like "Phoenix.HTML". I was concerned that Phoenix.HTML would be more verbose than the Rails counterpart, both in implementation and usage. I was very pleasantly surprised when it was not the case. For example, check how we support different inputs in Phoenix (https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html/blob/master...) and in Rails (https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/actionview/lib/ac...). In Phoenix, a new input is a simple function, in Rails it is a class with inheritance on its own file.

Those are just some examples from the top of my head and while I am still learning as I go, I have gathered enough mileage and evidence to expect things to be much simpler in the long term. :)
> the high performance mostly comes from the Elixir-based architecture, not from less bloat.

Well, Erlang architecture, but yeah. With Erlang you basically obviate the need for Redis, Eventmachine, Celluloid and that whole web socket handling stack because all of that is built in to Erlang/OTP.

>I keep my money spread out across multiple accounts with multiple banks up to the insured limit.

Insured by who? Not governments. Governments collapse all the time. The only safe place to keep it is in your own custom bank at home that you built yourself.
It was lightening-fast but too primitive & had weaknesses. Something like EROS (capability-secure kernel) or INTEGRITY-178B (separation kernel) were more ideal. Back when I was implementing, I did work with L4 (esp OKL4) based on the Nizza Security Architecture:

https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/atc11/tech/slides/weinho...

You can do a lot with that model whether you use a recent L4 kernel or some other microkernel. If you're into that stuff, I'd say check out the GenodeOS project at genode.org. Unlike most, their OS is using as many robust components from academia as possible while attempting to integrate them into something usable. They have a microkernel, a resource architecture, Nitpicker GUI, and so on. It needs help wherever people can get it.
Has anyone read up enough on this to understand how this compares to the IPO process before Sarbanes-Oxley [1] etc.? The article says that the purchaser must be an accredited investor. Additionally, it says that the "RAISE Act also specifies disclosure requirements for these transactions."

I wonder how close these disclosure requirements are to the disclosure requirements of 15 years ago. Are we basically seeing Sarbanes-Oxley being reverted here?

The actual number doesn't matter. It's just shorthand for "It's easy and quick! This isn't a mammoth 10k-line library".
I'd assume not in a bank because any bank can fail at any moment and they are only insured by an instutition as flaky at the United States Treasury department. Governments collapse all the time just ask the Soviet Union. Right?

If you bank fails, you will be made whole with money from the FDIC. Money is fungible. Any money will do.

Data is not similarly fungible. There's no IT FDIC to replace your lost data with other data that's identical.
That's nonsense. Lisp in the functional style vs. Haskell is two different implementations of what are at their essence the same ideas. However, lisp is multi-paradigm, which complicates the comparison somewhat...

I always thought the advantage of a FPGA is that they are very fast when programmed for a specific task. This seems like an interesting project, but is there a case where this would be preferred over any given CPU?
I'm perfectly aware that it's a spectrum but at the end there's a limit to how much you can throw at it before it becomes a jackson pollock painting.

Look at autism today vs even 10 years ago, look at how many perfectly adjusted individuals are diagnosed with it something just doesn't seem right to me.

When I've started school we have had 2 kids with ADHD during my entire primary school class, by the end of high school half the class had some sort of form of learning disability which many of them got to get extra time on tests or other type of exemptions (verbal testing for example).
I've seen this happen in front of me within a decade and it seems to happen now again with other so called disorder.
Don't get me wrong I have the utmost respect to children with developmental disorders I've volunteered with a special care group for 2 summers during high school and I've seen what the ends of both the disfunctioning and functioning spectrum looked like then and the very clear similarities you could tie between them in many activities.

But now? not really I've met some people that were diagnosed with Autism late in their life mostly with AAS (usually after a fairly short diagnosis session) all of them are to me perfectly functional adults yes each and everyone of them had their issues but I've seen in none of them the actual "signs" that I've seen in actual children that were professionally and clinically diagnosed with what back then was while quite polar but fairly narrow spectrum.

RMS isn't really an asshole, though he has some infamous quirks that some people tend to overemphasize because they find his otherwise straightforward ideas to be highly disagreeable to begin with.

Hitchens was inflammatory, but also flexible in his thinking.

Buckley was an interesting case. To some extent, he was more acerbic towards those he mostly agreed with than those who he had further ideological skirmishes with. For instance, he was friends and associates with Galbraith, but infamously brutal towards Rothbard over his non-interventionist views on foreign policy.
And what you keep missing the point on is that Im not saying don't have a personal copy. I am saying if you have multiple copies the safest one is undoubtedly in the cloud and by no small margin.
Scheme is a lisp.

Also, yeah, Common lisp probably would push for monolithism. Lisp Machine Lisp, upon which Common Lisp was based, was very much built upon The Right Thing, monolithic tradition of MIT, ITS, and all of the lisp machines.
To be fair, previous poster said "most of us". I'd be inclined to believe the majority are wired that way.
Common LISP was made to smooth over the differences of the ancient LISP's plus standardize their situation a bit. If those don't matter to you, then the alternatives are often better. SBCL being one of them. If I get back into LISP, I think the Racket Scheme community looks like it's delivering most bang for buck in terms of what the tools can do after investing time learning them.

You'll note that it was grand parent that called me a European and not me. He happened to be right. But maybe that should tell you something about how I don't pretend to speak for an entire continent but just my corner of it.

Honestly I had the exact same problem. The solution for me was still pretty simple though, I just changed how often I would examine/categorize the information. I had much better recall of what transactions I have approved over the past couple of days rather than over the past month and it takes much less time overall.
That's wrong in just about every respect.

Shen is a PLATFORM INDEPENDANT (not clisp based) language with an emphasis upon functionalism, a novel and very powerful type system based on sequent calculus, and OPTIONAL type checking, IF you want it. It is platform independant because it is built upon an incredibly simple lisp that you can build an interpreter for on top of almost any platform, so long as you can guarantee TCO.

It really is lisp flavored haskell.
Flexibility and lower development costs. ASIC developments cost hundreds of thousands to tens of millions. FPGA's give you low development cost but relatively-high, unit price.

What is it with you?Will all your home brew nonsense save your ass when your data is lost. I am basing all of my arguments on "what is the statistically most likely to fail" and "given limited resources where would you store your authoritative copy". The answers to these are "whatever you come up with will have a higher likelihood of failure" and "the authoritative copy goes into the cloud" You must be a terrible gambler. "Will playing the odds save your ass if you lose your money on good bet" no. But making good bets will increase your return regardless of the outcome of any given bet.
Familiarity is one thing. But I think (not certain though) you can also be really predisposed to certain activities. I wouldn't be surprised if they found out that there are certain babies who have subcortical reward structures only lighting up when they do analytical tasks.

The two statements would seem to support eachother. But what if all households switched to single-income? Then we would need all the labor we have. Presumably pay would rise to match.
