It's definitely not the same as relaxing on a beach for 10 days. Not even closely similar. Yes, you might be more relaxed, but this meditation is hard work and really disciplines your mind, something you won't be doing on a beach. As far as you are even aware of how active the mind is all day long, the beach will be full of distractions and you would take any opportunity to avoid any uncomfortable situations as well as take any opportunity to do things that give you short, momentary pleasures.

I noticed the culty part about it as well, but it makes sense to me, because it really works. The claim they make is really met and this convinces a lot of people that everybody should at least once in their life do such a retreat, including myself.

Hello HN,

I created Wormhole Network to make it easy for developers to have their application's servers in the same network, so you don't have to tinker with VPNs, firewalls, etc while keeping a good network security level.

Another popular use case seems to be adding your own laptop/workstation to a common network with all your servers, for management and monitoring purposes.

> sending more messages before a response signals social awkwardness and desperation.

I just fundamentally disagree. I'll often have text convos where we're both spitballing multiple messages and crossed thoughts all because each individual line is sent separately. Similarly when replying to someone who sent me a long message I will often have a send event per point.

Facebook, for example, has a "shift to send" option which pretty much encapsulates this thinking of each pseudo paragraph will be a separate message and that's fine, normal, it'll only show as one "new" message on my facebook homepage.

Equating voicemail/email to IM is just absurd since they represent longform communication mediums, not shortform ones.

During meditation, one can experience moments of such clarity of mind, that the answers to difficult or deep rooted issues suddenly show up in front of you. Usually it turns out the solution is so simple, that they wonder why they've never seen it before, and now they cannot unsee it.

Like an epiphany.
Specifically, there are several quantitative measures of liquidity, and they're generally correlated. In particular, the average bid-ask spread (the time-weighted or trade-volume-weighted average between the lowest asking price from local BTC sellers and highest bid from local BTC buyers) and the average daily trade volume (add up the number of BTC exchanged to or from local currency in an average day). Low liquidity generally means wide spreads and low trade volumes. As a result, if you want to convert BTC into local currency in the morning to buy chickens in the market and convert your chicken soup earnings back into BTC in the afternoon, you're going to either buy high and sell low crossing the bid-ask spread each time, or you're going to wait a long time for someone else to cross the spread and fill your orders. Of course, you can offer price improvement, allowing a whole range of price-time tradeoffs, but time is going to be expensive all along the tradeoff curve.
Strings and integers are data, but containers are "magic". Right. The propensity for fuzzy magical thinking is wired into our brains, not artificial. But that doesn't mean it's a good way to design a programming language.

Containers can certainly be data. A string is a container of characters, and we're certainly interested in its value as data. A window is a container of sub-windows. In many systems, windows inherit from and/or behave like containers, so you can loop over them and manipulate them just like containers.

So should the window.Add(subWindow) method automatically loop over the subSubWindows of subWindow and add each of them as direct children of window, or should it simply add subWindow to window directly so its subSubWindows are grandchildren of window?

I was referring to Perl's scalar/array distinction as being artificial and fuzzy -- I wasn't claiming the singular/plural concepts in your brain weren't natural. They're vastly different things. It's fuzzy magical thinking to believe that Perl's dichotomy of scalar/array maps directly to your brain's concept of singular/plural.

Does everyone's brain's built-in concept of plurality naturally support nested polymorphic arrays? Do those arrays in people's brains also behave like keyed hash tables, like Perl and JavaScript arrays? Must the keys be strings, or might they be any hashable idea? What does it mean for an idea to be hashable? Do Perl references work exactly the same way as actual human neurons? What about dolphin brains?

Please show me some peer reviewed scientific studies that prove Perl arrays accurately model natural language and mirror human thought, and then I will concede that Perl is more linguistically or biologically "natural" than Python.

But until I see some proof to the contrary, I believe that Larry Wall is to linguistics as Deepak Chakra is to physics:

"While in graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley, Wall and his wife were studying linguistics with the intention of finding an unwritten language, perhaps in Africa, and creating a writing system for it. They would then use this new writing system to translate various texts into the language, among them the Bible. Due to health reasons these plans were cancelled, and they remained in the United States, where Larry instead joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory after he finished graduate school." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall

It is possible. Their competitors seem to achieve it at the same price point to a much better degree (case in point: the British Gas myHome that I own and its newer cousin, the Hive). It helps that they don't shrug their shoulders about software bugs and in general don't roll out untested cowboy code on critical home appliances...
No, it's not tenuous.

Americans (Spanish settlers/Mexicans?) imported the name from Spanish (Castellano) and Spanish got it from Arabic and the list I made is just arbitrary and there are many many more Arabic origin words starting with "Al" that made their way to English and don't seem to have the same negative effect on the English speaker as claimed by you and the other poster.
I haven't used Atom yet but I'm certainly willing to try. It doesn't have to be fast as native, just fast enough.

I might be wrong, but I think the attitude change really started with .NET. I'm not sure that many people remember the "shared source" version of .NET. I worked at Corel, who was contracted to work on it, at the time. Although I didn't work on the project itself, I interacted with quite a few people who did.

I'm not going to pretend that MS "got it" at the time. "Share Source" was an insult to everyone. However, internally you could see light bulbs going off in people's heads. People who worked on the shared source version were proud of what they were doing and were really eager to have people look at it. The fact that "shared source" essentially crippled it to the point that it would be useless to everyone was surely a thorn in those people's sides. It (and every other shared source project) died in obscurity (thankfully).

I often wonder if this was one of the seeds that eventually sprouted inside MS to make them start to take open source seriously. I even wonder if one day we will see them embrace software freedom. Well... I can dream can't I ;-)

Nest is arrogant and obnoxious as a product. It is overrated and unnecessary. So ridiculous when you stop and think about it. If you ever scroll through the settings, it's completely laughable that this is all for a thermostat.

And all for some supposed improvement that is marginal at best. At worst, it simply doesn't work; taking over and setting some uncomfortable temperature that you never requested. My old thermostat worked just fine. Set it on exactly what I liked, so there was no need for it to "learn". I literally gave it a specific number. Don't really get the concept of wanting it to second guess me.

When I Googled and found others with similar issues, they seemed to be largely insulted on forums, as if the users were somehow unworthy of the wonderful Nest. They just hadn't invested enough time in understanding what the Nest wants.

The whole thing seems like a hoax--an elaborate parody of the times.

Cool. Got to resurrect my plugins :)
Just to provide a counter point of view, I owned a Nest 1st gen for 2 years (before selling my house) and didn't have a single issue.

I worked at home which means the smart scheduling was useless but the aesthetics and ease of use were great. Not to mention turning it on/off while away from the house was nice (I know, not limited to Nest).

Ask HN: Simplest Explanation of YouTube Content ID for a Child? (in Japanese)
Exactly what it says in the title.

Some background:

A young student of mine who only speaks Japanese received a YouTube Content ID claim email for a video they uploaded, but it was in English. My student only speaks Japanese so they asked me for help (big scary email in English = quite the shock I imagine). The flagged video is just of them sketching with faint background music playing through a playlist (probably on their portable music player). Most of the videos are like this with most at a very very low view count. So I assume this was automated which would make sense because I checked the claimed song and I don't even think it was played. Similar type of music but I'm 99% certain that it's a false positive. So I'm not exactly sure what advice to give. To be safe, I'll double check with my student to make sure it's not me mishearing the Japanese lyrics before giving any advice.

I can explain the email in Japanese, but it'll be a bit difficult to explain why it happened and what Content ID exactly is. My student probably has never even considered that something like this is possible or a problem. So, I'm hoping someone can point me to:

1. A simple, for kids, explanation of Content ID and what it means to them and their hobbyist videos.

2. Hopefully a translation of the Content ID claim email so I don't have to translate it myself. I've only been able to find a Content ID page in Japanese and if it's anything like the English one, I seriously doubt a child would understand it.
great idea, I have something similar I built in 2006 on our internal network. It is supper useful to have a list that is reused on a frequent basis.

I think the premise is mistaken, and the so is the meaning taken from David Bowie's comment (that if he'd started in 2000 he'd not have entered the music business because it was no longer subversive).

David Bowie started making music in the early-mid 60s, which was the era of doo-wop, sha-la-la, Louie Louie, and other popular but mainstream (and not even slightly subversive) music. It so happens that the 60s also gave us the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Yes, Genesis, and so on, but it's so easy to take what we like from that era and remember only that.

The era of the 2000s that Bowie says is not subversive also gave us innovation in music and other art. The same thing can be said even of this year. Music might have been a dominant means of novel creative expression in the 60s (although television was in a massive ascendancy, and the Beat poets and investigative journalism were also hugely influential in other areas), but it was no more subversive then than it is today when you consider NiN, Skrillex, and the constant innovation in indie rock and EDM.

The reason the Internet might have been considered "subversive" by this article in the 2000s (and music less so) is that it was on the boundary between innovation and mainstream, as was Bowie's brand of music in the 60s and 70s. It's nothing to do with authority and everything to do with a new generation creating something without heeding the status quo, without sticking within the established norms.

This, if anything, is what the article describes. Not subversion, but innovation beyond the established norms. When someone in their late teens or early twenties starts creating, they often do so by solving problems in new ways that are not based on existing solutions or patterns, and sometimes that act of creation from relative ignorance creates entirely new norms.

Applying that thought to now: The Internet is now mainstream, but the innovation that has not yet become mainstream is that which is controversial, that which laws and regulations have not yet caught up with. Social media and social content platforms (Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter) started in an era where they didn't have to deal with trolls until they arrived, which meant they could do the fun stuff first and then raise the bar as the bad parts of society (griefers, regulations, nannying) caught up. A new platform in the same space has to reach that bar to get started. Topics that are currently in that space between innovation and mainstream acceptance (hence regulation and nannying) might include privacy/encryption, P2P, geographical presence sharing and decoupling, piracy, gender/sexuality issues, drug taking and distribution, or any of a number of other things that create tension due to being innovated faster than the status quo can keep up.

Some of those things look "subversive" in the classical sense, but in reality it's technology moving at the leading edge of society and society catching up, rather than anything to do with authority.
