So I should clutter my home directory with stuff that may or may not break if I later try to move it somewhere sensible?

Then I let it programatically dig its tentacles into who-knows-what, making uninstallation laborious and/or dangerous?

Why not give a hyperlink to some "qira.tar.xz" file, and have it execute from the resulting directory? Such applications are usually easier to package too, making it more likely to appear in repos.
Yeah, and that app isn't rm.

Precisely how many user space apps do you think need access to it?!?
I remember when I first deconverted. I was horrified that there was no heaven, and that my loved ones weren't waiting for me. That they were just gone forever. They didn't exist. They weren't happy, and I would never see them again.

I see many atheists carry on religious memes after they deconvert. Which is only natural, religion isn't just a single idea, it's deeply ingrained into our culture. One of those memes is that death is natural and ok. Which, if you believe in religion, it absolutely is. It's the way things are supposed to be according to a trustworthy higher power. There is a life afterwards that makes it all ok. People don't really "die", they just go to a different place.

I don't see anything ok about true death. It's natural, sure, but there's no law that says nature has to be good. We are the product of an uncaring universe and plenty of bad things exist that shouldn't. Death is one of those things.

So I came to the idea that if Heaven didn't really exist, we should build it. I was quite young at the time and influenced by science fiction. I thought that maybe future humans could invent time travel and come back in time and save people who died.

I've since come to the conclusion that time travel is very unlikely to be physically possible in our universe. But other advanced technologies, like curing aging, are certainly not. Perhaps even within our reach. And if backwards time travel might be impossible, we have invented a way to do forwards time travel with cryonics.

Thank you for sharing "Don't Panic", watching that is really an hour well-spent.

Since permanent growth comes from fertility and as "Don't Panic" shows we're getting to a sustainable average of 2 child per woman, augmenting our lifespan will only increase our maximum population, not our population growth.

However I think YC research would be better spent trying to find better ways to fight climate change, world stability and/or lift billions out of poverty. This way if we ever augment lifespans in a significant way it will be available to more people and in a healthier world. Also lifting billions out of great poverty will have the added benefit of allowing more minds to work on issues like increasing life expectancy.

Laugh away. The Tu-144 had superior handling and aerodynamics at each end of its speed range, and in the Tu-144D variant had non-afterburning engines and still cruised as fast as Concorde [0], despite having a wider five-abreast cabin. It was a first-generation SST done properly.

There was plenty of industrial espionage, but the Tu-144 is no more a copy than the DC-8 is a copy of the 707.

Since I was old enough to understand neural networs idea, I imagined and I was sure that one day we will build an artificial brain, at first with less sub-components (brain areas) and then with more if not all that we know about with their functions. At that time the only thing I thought stops us from doing it is the computing power.
In the meantime we grew enormously our computing power AND we invented the deep learning and a whole lot of faster AI learning algos yet we did not built an artificial brain. Or there are projects but I did not hear about it?...
> These big firms attach their names to work done by very junior people.

Can confirm, work at a pretty large firm. Most stuff is drafted by junior dudes and signed off by their superiors. But I've also seen how the superiors sign, and mostly they do some basic checks and sign off. Further, companies tend to work with a four eyes principle that requires two signatures to sign off, and what tends to happen is that the second person says 'oh, I see xyz signed, so it must be okay' and signs it off without really checking. In fact we have folders of docs drafted by juniors that an assistant walks around with to collect the relevant signatures, which are stamped, not written.

Essentially everyone is overworked and manage way too many clients and the budget is being squeezed. And there's a bit of a race to the bottom, the sales people have clients telling them 'this office can do it for $270k per year, you're offering us $350k'. And the sales people say 'alright we'll match it', which means they're going to have to generate cost-cutting measures of $80k on that client that year, which mostly involves shifting the work to interims, interns and juniors who get $15-20 an hour and invoice $150 to the client.
Ember 2 was released middle of last year and the transition was super smooth. Ember's update pipeline is strict and the backward compatibility is serious. Big startups and corporates are switching to Ember, because they want results... Luckily, we can say, at the moment Ember.js is at least 1 year, but more likely 2 years ahead of other js libraries and frameworks. The framework really matured, the best bet nowadays if someone plan to build larger frontend application.

It is interesting to see that they recommend againts using Bootstrap:

18F specifically does not recommend using Bootstrap for production work because of one,
the difficulty in adapting its opinionated styles to bespoke design work and two,
its CSS style places semantic layout instructions directly in HTML classes.

I think even with modern computer vision techniques, it would be very very difficult to do this kind of thing automatically. If you were a big state with cheap labour, you could probably hire a load of people to do nothing but map traces all day.
I have mixed feelings about reddit but mainly positives. One, it is the main driver of traffic to my blogs because there are specific subreddits with very focused audiences about these topics.

The negative was only related to the netsec subreddit which I think is really great but banned me several times in the last few months because some moderators said my post were offtopic while the same kind of posts were really successful there before. For example, benchmarking different ways of betwork traffic capture in Windows including drivers developed by ourselves.

Wait what? As European students, my girlfriend and I already do groceries by car. My parents and her parents as well. My grandparents as well. Unless you happen to live next to the supermarket, everyone does as far as I know. What country are you from?

To me it doesn't sound luxurious to do groceries by car, it sounds like poverty to have to go by foot for a kilometer while carrying heavy grocery bags.

sigh This trope is a bit a over used. When you say "The West" you mean "The US" right?

If you say "China's record on human rights" I say: "Guantanamo, NSA, Wikileaks...".

If you say "Democracy in China" I say "China has a similar percentage of voters as the US" (That's right, lots of people are in the party!). And "George W Bush didn't actually win against Al Gore (Do we all remember the florida recount... or lack there of)".

There is too much hypocrisy in the China/US political debate. They are both Super powers, they do some things differently, they do some things the same, neither of them are morally superior.

In terms of conventional chip design, GaAs is faster. It's also toxic, there are a lot of dimensions to "better"

Like the singularity, quantum computing is always around the next corner, I think it's more than 15 years off and there are a whole lot of questions.

At a glance, China seems like they could excel at fabrication. You need to invest a lot to get going but it's been repeated, there are models to bootstrap that process. there are also more fabless chip makers than ever and they want to build stuff as efficiently as possible. As for design, that seems more competitive and there are more factors on its success (like the actual software and developers adopting your stuff) their schedule seems aggressive but there are so many middle areas. License power or arm and tweak it some, who designed that? Do a couple generations and it starts to be original work, nobody in the west will think that but I don't know if that matters
Why Hong Kong May Soon Be the World's Next Startup Powerhouse
You may have misunderstood. I was not trying to explain the $5000 gap. Administrative costs is one example of the cost difference. Research shows that 'socialised' health systms spend up to $ 800-900 less per patient per year on admin. (I think it was diff between USA and Canada)
I am not sure of other systems but in NHS England there is no tracking of actual number of patients seen in primary care and details of each patient's complaint. The last audit done on that was over 5 years ago which was also based on data sampling and no such audit is currently planned.
There are other reasons for high cost - one of the is the list pricing of actual products used (socialised systems pay less for products, UK pays about 20% less for pharmaceutical products than many other industrial nations). UK consultants and surgeons are not paid for how many procedures they do, 'coincidentally' UK surgeons operate less frequently.
I am sure there are several other reasons that explain the $5000 gap but these are just a few.

Kinda. The Chinese government has been trying to mix sitting on a powder keg and rapid economic growth. They do not want to become a second USSR by opening up all the floodgates at once. Also, considering how they got to their position, I don't think that any of them have preconceptions of a gentle fall if things go south.

What seems to be the case is that they're shooting for slow incremental improvement, moving from less touchy areas to more touchy areas. They've gone from not talking about corruption to cracking down on it higher and higher up the ranks. It's a very slow sleigh of hand, with the distraction being economic growth, and various distinctly communist tasting programs (the current one should be 中国梦(Chinese Dream), if I recall correctly).

But their fear doesn't seem unjustified. There are still spontaneous uprisings which are usually nipped in the bud before they can escalate by means of information and communication monitoring. That's what they care about. Expats in China using VPNs? They don't give one.

Whilst I'm all for democracy, introducing it to China right now would work about as well as introducing it to the Middle East. Groups feeling under-represented would fraction off, there would likely be civil war, widespread devastation to one of the most populous countries of the world, and worst of all, whilst Iran getting nuclear weapons seems like a looming threat, China does have them. The sheer pandemonium would make Syria look like a backwater stand-off. I may be exaggerating, but then look at the bloodshed of the cultural revolution.

I grew up in Germany, so it's not like I'm opposed or unfamiliar with the idea of democracy, it's an incredible system. But for China right now? Well meant, but not practical. It'd be a less bloody affair to turn the US into a monarchy (to make a comparison). In 20 years, maybe, though it might take longer.

Thinking China can be fixed with a fair heaping of democracy and human rights ignores a lot of very significant details in a country that works contrary to a lot of accepted wisdom in the west.

PS: There's lots of interesting things going on here, playing churned lover with western ideals is literally the least interesting thing to talk about.

As I said in another comment, one should focus on politics of its own country, not the politics and the complexities of international politics.

I don't think you can really argue that politics should cover what is beyond the grasp of the US. Since when will people vote and decide on the well being of non-americans ? It's non sense.
Almost no containers have /sbin/init in. An alpine container has little in it. But C applications do generally require some files, eg config. Docker does encourage people to put as little as possible in, but alas there are still people who shell out as they do not have libraries do do what they need yet... including Java programmers.

Disclaimer: I work at Docker on unikernels. You might like this approach to containers.
You can mount the base filesystem read only in the container as of 1.10, with tmpfs mounts for where you need ephemeral mutation.

* Methods to Effectively Spread Rationality

A scientific approach to spreading rational thinking could be world-changing.

If rational thinking became more prevalent, you'd have more allies--more people asking questions like this about how to best direct their efforts toward the right problems. Rational thinking is a force-multiplier. At the same time, problems resulting from irrational thinking would be reduced.

In the early stages, the research could focus on how to teach rational thinking. From there, research could focus on how to pitch a rationality curriculum to school boards, or how to effectively convert adults to more rational ways of thinking.

Ember.js 1.0 was release in 2013. The udpate pipeline strictly follows the Semantic Versioning standard. There is a new minor version every six week. Backward compatibility is extremely important. Ember.js 2 was released middle of last year, the transition from v1 to v2 was super smooth. Big startups and corporates (like financial companies) are migrating to Ember.js, because of the stability and because of the opinionated, convention over configuration features. An Ember developer can jump in someone else Ember project immediately, because most of the Ember.js app follows the same principals and rules. This is a good video about how Intercom.io was able to ship new features much faster and more often because of they switched to Ember: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVwDuMGVhYY&sns=tw

I read this article about Meteor recently. https://www.discovermeteor.com/blog/the-state-of-meteor-part...
Looks, they have to find a new way. It is kind of the same story as happened with Angular, the Angular 1 was a cul-de-sac and they had to build up a totally new framework from scratch.

Meanwhile Ember adapts the best solutions all the time. Ember begun to use ES6 almost two years ago. Implemented React inspired view layer a year ago. Server side rendering just released a couple of weeks ago. Ember-cli stable version is released a year ago, which is so good, that Angular 2 would like a similar cli tool, and of course Ember-cli team helps them. Hopefully Angular 2 will have a cli tool by middle of this year.

We could say, that Ember.js is at least 1 or maybe 2 years ahead of other javascript libraries or frameworks in more aspects at the moment.

Suggested pages: http://www.emberjs.com, http://www.ember-cli.com, http://yoember.com, https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.3.0/ http://www.emberjs.com/community

Here is a fresh report, which mirrors how serious the community behind this open source project: http://emberjs.com/blog/2016/01/23/core-team-face-to-face-ja...

Be careful, because if you start learning Ember.js, you will fall in love and you don't want to work with other javascript library any more. ;)
Education.

From my experience, just trying to combine technology and teaching isn't good enough. We need something better than what we have now.
But is that a problem? You don't usually need technical expertise to judge whether someone is speaking in a productive way or not. The purpose of moderating a conversation isn't to try to remove technically incorrect arguments, surely? It's to stop conversations from being derailed by snarky, aggressive comments, or outright trolling, etc.

Do you have more context on this story, http://www.abajournal.com/mobile/mag_article/chinas_latest_c...

"... Wang and her husband, human rights attorney Bao Longjun, were detained July 9 and accused of inciting subversion of state power. In early January, they were formally arrested, their lawyer told the New York Times on Jan. 13. The pair have been incommunicado since July, when they began languishing under “residential surveillance”—a status sometimes interpreted to be the equivalent of house arrest but that is actually akin to a “black jail.” There, detainees are held in solitary confinement and subjected to extreme interrogation, forced confessions and even torture. Family members, friends and colleagues have been denied access or even knowledge of their whereabouts.

In April 2015, three months before she disappeared, human rights lawyer Wang protested against expropriations of farmland and properties in Suzhou, northwest of Shanghai.

The arrests of Wang and Bao are just the tip of the iceberg. By mid-November, more than 300 people had been swept up in what human rights monitors describe as an unprecedented crackdown on Chinese lawyers. Those detained or questioned include not only some of the most active rights lawyers but also their support staff, associates and even family members. At least three have seen their children’s passports confiscated and their movements curtailed."
