Getting up at an early time of day isn't uncommon though. I mean look at the military. It's all about discipline, and of course going to bed earlier (the article doesn't say what time they go to bed).

But besides that, it has to be your thing. There's morning and evening people; these are apparently mostly morning people. I know there's a significant amount of people that rolls up at work at 10 or even later, and those that prefer to work in the evening / night as well. To each their own.

OP didn't seem outraged to me, just a bit disappointed. Which I understand, because "at some point" is still far away for the new Star Wars movie. I do think that any discussion of a movie is a spoiler. It depends, but from friends I don't even want to know if they liked a movie or not as I know them and their taste so well that I will deduce things which will influence my experience. I want my experience as pristine as possible, which is hard enough without articles mentioning tiny details about plots that they just don't need to mention for the point they are making.

Not really fishy. The 6.3.x series is the only version that is under active development [1] so quite naturally it follows that at least since 2013 (EOL of 6.2) many users have upgraded to the supported version.

A bit more disturbing IMHO is that you need an active support contract to even get the updates (based on information I got from Juniper customers, I couldn't find a direct confirmation on their site) meaning that aftermarket users are left in the cold.

I assume that is what they hoped to do. Lots of people with decades of experience in this area have tried to do this before without too much success. This doesn't mean it is impossible, but if you are claiming to be able do something that everybody else has tried and failed then your data needs to be impeccable. No hiding behind trade secrets and saying trust us.
Your last item is not totally accurate: Refrigerated ships are the ones where the entire vessel is temperature controlled. What Dole needs is lots of power connections ("reefer plugs"). That's uncommon but not the same as a refrigerated ship. Last I knew, other companies partly use reefer ships (bananas in bulk) combined with loading into containers.

The benefit of a big refrigerated vessel is mostly when you have a big company importing ("importers") in huge quantities and then selling it to other companies. A single container is huge, but it is way less than a whole refrigerated vessel. Part of the reason why more bananas have been shipped in reefer containers is due to companies cutting out the importers.

I know very little about academia. But, in the context of today's world of information and collaboration, it always seems to me that it should be a better time than any to (A) have a better than publication and (B) put a lot more into reproducing results independently. I mean what is the whole publication, review, reproduction system if not an early system of crowdsourcing.

To take a simplistic example: a publication norm which includes instructions for reproduction, ideally requiring as little resources as possible.
Ask HN: What are some good small Open source products that one can join?
I recently made my first ever contribution to an open source project. Nothing major. Text changes and that kind of thing. The process of cloning, building, running, and making little tweaks was so much fun. I want to get more involved with projects like this but most open source projects I find are framework level things. I know there are lots of actual products like web apps that are open source and out there, but I was wondering if the HN community could help share some of these projects. Especially smaller products. Good example would be openhunt.co (https://github.com/OpenHunting/openhunt).

Where Can you find developers willing to join your startups?
I see that CEOs are being picked on about really high salaries regularly, the real question is what would happen if they got paid much less? Company would make more profit and that profit would go to the shareholders.

Honest questions:
So why does it matter? Whether the part of money goes to a CEO or another rich shareholder? How does it change anything? To be honest pretty much in every company major shareholders make way more money than CEOs.

Is it the idea that "middle class" can be a CEO so in theory it's attainable yet being a major shareholder is not even within the reach of "middle class" therefore it's almost being jealous of fellow man (CEO), because it's human yet major shareholders are more like "Pharaohs and Emperors" ?
Holocaust victims can't feel insulted because they're dead. Survivors can but they're few in number and will soon be extinct. Are you sure these are the main groups of people who would be hurt by legalized holocaust denial? I find that hard to believe, especially since we allow denial of most other large scale killings - even those bigger than the holocaust.

If you publish it, it's libel. There's a difference between "so-and-so is an asshole" (not a fact, haha), and "so-and-so committed a crime" (a fact). Whether it's a civil or criminal matter depends on the jurisdiction. The UN is against criminalizing defamation because it limits freedom of expression.
If you're suggesting the reviewer wrote the patch you've eliminated the developer but you still have someone higher up in the chain that needs to be totally incompetent. Even so, that's still two people, not one.

Linus' web-of-trust is more like a pyramid of trust, he has a couple of lieutenants that he trusts but I highly doubt they in turn will blindly sign off on a commit on something as critical as this.
If you look at the history of object orientation, it starts as slots for function pointers in structs in C, with some preprocessor statements to make it easier to use. Literally the object is just a struct which holds data and function pointers.

Pretty interesting when you think about it - java hasn't moved that conceptually far from C preprocessor statements.

"Newton's error.. was trusting math over the sensations of his eye."

A trait very common amongst scientists. I tried to explain to my peers that you could see blue as lightened darkness and yellow and red as darkened light.

This makes a lot of sense perceptually, if you look at the sky and the sun as it transitions from night to day.

But all they had to say was newton and wavelengths and prisms. That stuff is all fine, but it does't talk about how we perceive colour.

I just started to learn the Factor programming language. I think of it as a modern implementation of a stack based language like Forth (similar what Clojure is for Lisp).

I admit, the first step were a bit brain-twisting, but after getting hands dirty, programming feels relieving. Like a rain shower on a steamy hot day. No worrying about syntax and punctation, elegantly shuffling the stack is fun. For me a perfect demonstration of KISS.

I'm not to keen on the article. I'm a 2 year frequent meditator who has been studying Tibetan buddhism and learning from monks. This doesn't mean I'm correct, it's just some background. I also have Adhd.

I don't feel he exaplains himself well in the article and just states what he claims are facts.
'It's a state free of greed, hatred delusion' etc etc. Some of these are emotions and I certainly can concentrate well when feeling strong emotions.

'Can only max out concerntration for a short time'. (not direct quote)

I'd question this because of flow where an individual can loose themselves for hours on end on one thing. And what about Adhd hyperfocus? The inability to switch task and move on. That takes power.

Sure, mindfulness and concentration are different. I've found my concentration had become much better since engaging in mindfulness. But for me personally, concentration isn't willpower in all tasks. Some it is, some it takes willpower to move myself away, sometimes it's linked to my ability to let go of distraction (I prefer the word attraction).

Why is there a need for a one-to-one correspondence between Java and Scala features? In any case, you can call Clojure code just fine from Java.

It is by no means clear that Lincoln had the illness that today carries the name "depression." My 2008 book, _The Physical Lincoln_ discusses why, and offers an alternate diagnosis that is holistically far superior to the piecemeal mental and physical diagnoses that others have bestowed on him.

In brief, there is abundant evidence that Lincoln, his mother, and three of his sons had a genetic disease called MEN2B that made them all tall, thin, and unusual looking (exception: Willie Lincoln was not so unusual looking). Features of MEN2B can mimic Marfan syndrome and depression, and this is what happened in Lincoln and his mother: Owing to variant neuromuscular function associated with MEN2B, they were physically constituted to look sad, because their muscles (body and face) had low muscle tone as a result of MEN2B.

I don't think there is a chance in the world that Lincoln was depressed as President, but Sheik's work has persuaded many people. I tackle all of Shenk's points (and others) in the book. If you're interested enough to debate the topic here, please read The Physical Lincoln first, and then write me -- so I don't have to repeat myself. :-)

Why have police, or any sort of civil society? It's impossible for most individuals to accurately or reliably evaluate risks or manage properly understood risks individually a social contract is required. This regulates the behaviour of actors so as to make transactions generally safer encouraging participation and economic activity.

And that's the experiment I meant. Some will lie to swing the result to their liking, some will respond with bullshit for whatever other reasons. And the rest may easily respond "mostly true" if the author of those horoscopes has enough skill to make them sufficiently truistic and vague, which is what they typically do. Like, "something important will happen to your life in the next month because Jupiter blah blah blah".

My point is: horoscopes are unfalsifiable by design. Or by evolution with mutations, selection and stuff - whatever floats your boat.
