Having your basic needs met is not a zero sum game, but beyond that the economy is mostly about status. Whether you are working to attract a mate, impress your family, or build your nation, you are seeking status relative to your peers, and that's zero sum.

For backing up websites, I released https://github.com/ludios/grab-site. Compared to HTTrack, it makes it easy to add ignores to skip unwanted URLs after a crawl has already started. It also saves to WARC instead of trying to fit the site to an on-disk directory structure, which is not always possible or useful (e.g. directory with > 100K files).
"You are not fooling anyone. We see whom you've become. Ever wonder why you are so lonely? Why people don't give you the respect you think you deserve?"

Without getting to cynical, but why do you think these people don't get respect or are lonely? Most crooks I know have families and friends that love them and accept them for who they are. Being immoral is pretty acceptable for most people as long as the larger society doesn't penalise their dependants.

Not tarot but psychoanalytical in nature, I designed a deck of cards based on word association experiments by CG Jung. It uncovers unconscious fears, hidden agendas, guilt, unresolved personal issues and many other emotional-psychological disturbances below the surface of consciousness.

Well that's an ... interesting (read: stupid) design choice. I get that it reduces load on the server, but how many public keys is one user likely to have? Surely you could do something with ring signatures to make it not even require knowing which key was used?

Hindsight
Religious studies is a secular, academic discipline. Your concern over words like 'sacred' is a function of living in a cuture where apologists and evangelists dominate such language. It isn't a necessary indicator that there's a problem when such language is used.

Entheogen might mean 'generating god within' from a rather naive and reductionist translation of the greek, but in the field it has a more specific meaning relating to the use of a substance in a ritual context.

Entheogens, and using them in not-ritual contexts to try to replicate experiences reported by ritual participants, is interesting and broadly scientific. Religions are and have been wildly popular structures for guiding and interpreting subjective experiences, and in many cases the framework for pre-scientific medicine and mental health care. It is interesting to ask what kind of mental states they are better at generating and what effects those have.

To study that is not to admit that the religion has the right story of why those experiences arise and what they mean.

We can ask what the religious experience of 'transcendence' is and how it is induced and what is happening in the brain without buying into the idea that it is an experience of oneness with the infinity of the divine consciousness (or whatever story any particular user wants to tell). Such an explanation might be significant, without being true. In the same way one can study the stories and language and behavior of a pyramid scheme without giving credit to its claims.

If you've been bashed over the head with apologetics or evangelism, it can be hard to tune into the use of the language in a more rigorous context, but it has meaning and is not unscientific. Though there is, of course, room for an argument over how much any social science or field of psychology is 'real' science.

"Sacred knowledge" is neither meaningless, oxymoronic, nor mystical. Any more than a discussion of "Erotic knowledge" in the context of sex-research would be.

I'm reading this book at the moment, and so far it seems very good. Even the bit quoted about Jung is handled with more reasonableness than the article suggests (though I'm not sure I agree, yet).
yes that is quite true. Australia has the only sensible policy in this. there is no need for their applications to be processed in Europe. just move them to a few islands or make a deal with Turkey or something. in fact, the EU is moving in this direction.
I've actually done both.

The LLVM API is good, yes, but from a project management point of view it's pretty painful to work with --- the libraries are vast, don't have stable binary interfaces, and don't validate parameters, which means that if you get anything wrong it tends to just segfault deep inside somewhere. I've had to single step through the LLVM source code way too many times.

Plus, distribution support has always been pretty poor. e.g. Debian's 3.3 package's llvm-config tries to link your program against the static libraries rather than the dynamic ones, which leads to painfully large link times.

This all adds up to a non-trivial cost.

By contrast, emitting C is a lot less powerful, but suddenly you don't have to care about any of this stuff. You have a standardised intermediate format which you can throw at any compiler, which is trivially verifiable, doesn't need special libraries to write, and easily integrates into third-party tool chains. Simply having rigorously separated front and back ends can be a huge win. But biggest of all, you don't have to keep knowledge of the LLVM API in your brain while you're trying to get work done.

Of course, you don't get proper debugging information, or tail calls, or any of the other things you can do with the LLVM API which you can't do through C; but depending on what you want to do, it can totally be worth it.
I read the article. First of all, it's on the 'blog' section of the newstatesman, it's not a newstatesman editorial piece. The information in there is very conflicted, if you read carefully you'll see that this is all about some minor powerplay around who gets to attend the premiere of a movie.

The role of Shamir is more questionable, but in spite of that I'm not ready to see Assange as 'in bed with the regime of Belarus'. If that's true then it will need some stronger evidence and a much better sourced article.
Stylists do more than just cut hair. It's not unskilled labour. Especially when it comes to dying hair you need to understand the chemical reactions involved and the damage they can do to the skin and hair.

There are a lot of people working in the field who just barely know how to cut hair. But the better ones do more than just design work.

EDIT: For context, in my country (Germany) a lot more occupations are regulated than in the US, including hair stylists / barbers (I don't think we have the distinction). While I agree that for some of the jobs the regulations are too harsh and there are too many hurdles to get foreign qualifications and job experience recognized, I think that the existence of these regulations, especially for jobs that involve exposing customers to hazardous materials, is for the better.
These are very good points here.

They don't use protection during discharge, which is the relatively safe part of the cycle. They're careful to match the pack to the discharge demand to prevent thermal runaway. They're also at a considerable distance from the pack when it is in use. During charging, any sensible RC hobbyist uses a good balance charger and a LiPo safety bag.

It's also worth bearing in mind that lithium batteries replaced methanol and nitromethane fuel in the RC hobby, which isn't exactly benign.

No, it isn't github's fault or git issue. All commit metadata is used to generate (and verify) the commit hash. This is basic git functionality. If you somehow hide this piece of information, you make that repo not only unverifiable but also incompatible with any other clone, including the one in your local machine. You wouldn't be able to push to github.

The only issue here is not realizing the email field in the git config doesn't need to be your personal one or even real. And I agree more people should know this, but this is not something github or git needs to fix in any way.

Ok, so there is an area inscribed by Timmins on the North-East side, Wawa in the North-West, Sault-Ste Marie in the South-West and Sudbury in the South-East. Inside that square is a very nice sample of what Canada must have looked like in the past. The only 'real' (blacktop) road crossing the area is the 129, you can simply ignore that. If you ever feel really adventurous hiking in that area is an experience that I won't be able to put into words.

The idea is not to try it, but to get it prescribed to you as part of a supervised course of medication by a professional. The professional could be one of the researchers mentioned in the article. Psychedelics work best when they are not recreational.

Timothy Leary never advocated for people to try it for fun. He wanted proper scientific studies and wanted it used in a controlled way by people who knew what they were doing.
Maybe addictiveness was a bad word.

Concentration indicators:

Wearing headphones

Working away from normal desk

Interruptions still happen, of course. When one does, we suggest letting the person know upfront that you’re concentrating on something, and asking them if it’s urgent. And if you’re the person doing the interrupting, try not to get offended when you get asked if your needs are urgent.

OMG yes big fan of this. Setting expectations up front for this kind of behaviour is great. Without a 'culture' for allowing people to stay focused without an immediate interruption, I have always found it hard to explain to people interrupting me why they could have used an asynchronous communication tool, like Slack/HipChat/email, for non-urgent questions.

Not every city is London or Manhattan.

And I'm not sure even those would be "highly polluted" these days (big Asian cities definitely are though - and I wouldn't want to raise my kids in New Delhi or Beijing).

My wife grew up in Vienna and my son will grow up in Berlin, I think both provide for a much more interesting childhood than the suburb I grew up in, and are not really polluted or dangerous (maybe some parts are, but we don't have to live downtown to get the benefits of the city).

If you consider it in terms of medicine. I would be afraid of performing any kind of surgery on myself, but I would be less afraid and ultimately trusting if a doctor did the same thing. If surgery is the wrong metaphor, how about theraphy or other forms of psychotherapy, mind change, anxiety reduction etc.

In other words, don't try it. The fear of insanity is probably a good fear if people think of doing it just for fun. But if the day comes when a doctor takes you in a trip, your fear will be less, and the doctor will know how to supervise you.

The key idea of this article is that research into psychedelics should be allowed and encouraged. Timothy Leary never advocated for people to try them for fun. Don't think of psychedelics as recreational things to try but as powerful medicine which needs trained professionals to administer.

It's only "wasted" if you can show that they would have done more if they didn't spent those 10% on breaks.

Surviving through the 2000 one must have been a hard one, although it picked up fast ;) What were the signs? What could you see at the time that made sense to you that was something wrong? Or at the time you never felt anything was wrong, business was just really good. After the disaster happens everyone has good theories about the causes, but before no one really remembers to look to obvious signs which transcend how the economics are going, like why there is so much people getting so much money although their knowledge doesn't support their business. How can a tech business be built by someone that is non tech (or even averse to it), to make a business do you only need a good talk and gut, or do you actually need to know about the business.

Can I make a suggestion? It looks like this is aimed at open-source users and it might be a better fit over on GitLab (https://gitlab.com/).

It's a great idea to create this repository of information, but putting it in GitHib's proprietary silo is a turnoff to some potential contributors. It isn't wrong to use GitHub, it's just better to make GitLab the default choice for FOSS (and especially crowd-sourced!) projects.

Either way good luck with it, I like the idea and as I'm already running Ubuntu I may try the PPA and see if I can generate some useful data to contribute.
I'm surprised only one comment here mentions patents. IBM are filing patents as fast ever, and while they're trying to get into "the cloud" like everyone else, I get the impression that they're also still working on hardware R&D, as well as the AI research that goes into projects such as Watson.

Also they calculate the Wimbledon serve speeds, so they've got that going for them which is nice.

And I thought I was the last one still using an old Powerbook.
I made that comment because of your assertion that species is a human construct, not because you are saying that species shouldn't be ranked as better/worse. Species is a biological classification, it is the largest classification at which two members can create fertile offspring, which is why I mentioned breeding in my comment. Trying to separate biology and species doesn't make any sense to me as the grouping is a description based on that biological compatibility.

I don't even have an argument with you because you have a consistent view on the issue, unlike those that eat pigs but not cats or dogs. So we're actually mostly in agreement, the arbitrary classification that people are making with pigs and dogs being food or pets is silly.

And no, breeding compatibility does not decide my diet.

Edit: Your third and final paragraphs were added after I started writing my comment, which is why I didn't address them. I also don't understand your fourth paragraph.
