Thanks for the links! I guess I'd like to know because without it, there's not much else I can do except wake up/eat/take s shit/go back to sleep. We are even able to have this conversation because someone somewhere wanted to go deeper and know more. About mathematicians, as a physicist, I'm no better myself and don't see why the possibility of going crazy should stop you from going after a problem you think you just need to know and are uniquely equipped to find the answer to, especially if you happen to be a famous(so probably a very talented) mathematician.
He definitely doesn't expect it to look like an iPad; he points out that he's cool with them cobbling together off-the-shelf parts like the motherboard and the touchscreen controller. His issue is with how badly things are botched, like soldering the batteries directly, and then selling it as a fully fledged industrial product. If you have "very limited knowledge" as your comment says, then you shouldn't be doing business. That's irresponsible. At worst, designing products without experience could lead to electrical fire.

It's very hard to believe that Ford will be able to compete for talent with the hottest startups in Silicon Valley. Would someone really take a position there over a similar one at Google, Apple or Uber? Or a smaller startup?
Ah interesting. I was thinking even if the algorithm didn't change the volume could have had a side effect on it. Do you expose the history of the algorithm?
On a side note, I always hate it when writers can't resist adding a snarky joke or 2 near the end of articles about a serious topic. It always always makes the article seem less credible.
Quick promotion - I applied as a solo founder. I'm looking for a co-founder with an EE background and an interest in wearables/hearables. The idea is awesome (of course!) - still in the pre-prototype stage. Would be glad to share more!
Yeah, I would.
Are you willing to pay?
>Patel: Are you going to want them to design cars? Fields: No

Not sure how they're going to focus on software without integrating that with car design, maybe it's the whole "FordPay" allusion that was made later but this just seems not integrated or solution-driven enough to compete with Telsa, Google, Apple or Uber.

Just seems like Ford wants it's finger in all pies.
No but we are living in a mental simulation.

I'm sure that any medical professional you saw has already told you this, but the symptoms you experienced are normal, and referred to as "hallucinogen persisting perception disorder", and I had a very similar experience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_percep...

The symptoms will go away, and you'll feel better. Promise. 150 mcg of LSD is, in my opinion, more than I'd recommend someone taking for their first time. Microdosing (around 10% of your dose) and slowly increasing the dose is a much safer way of going about it, and I'd recommend doing it gradually if you ever feel like trying psychedelics again in the future.

For now, the best thing you can do is to stay busy and try not to focus on it. LSD can give you a very raw view of reality without the candy-coating of normal consciousness, and it can be a very jarring experience.

I was with you right up until the last line. I don't understand why most people view nihilism as bleak and depressing. Why do we crave meaning to give us direction?

Nihilism feels so liberating to me. I have thoughts like these daily, they serve to remind me that we don't have to do the rituals if we don't want to. We can do whatever we want. At any moment. And nobody can say it's "wrong" or "bad," because those concepts don't exist in the universe at large. There's no point, there's no meaning, there's no goal - it's an open sandbox. Go play, while you still have the chance!

That's not in conflict with what was said in your quote. Hitler changed the world enormously. It was terrible, but the influence is undeniable. I'm reminded of all the people I've seen making fun of Time for naming Hitler their Man of the Year, without realizing that Man/Person of the Year is purely about the size of impact, not how good it is.

I disagree with the idea that the musical is painting Hamilton as a blameless hero of the people and glossing over his Federalist policies. For an example off the top of my head, you've got Jefferson (who is not portrayed as a villainous contrast to Hamilton's "goodness" in the musical--not sure how the author came to that conclusion) directly calling him out as an ambitious man vying for Wall Street power in "Washington on Your Side":

I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion
The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion
Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration
As Wall Street robs ‘em blind in search of chips to cash in
This prick is askin’ for someone to bring him to task

The same character calls Hamilton out for not wanting to come to France's aid in "Cabinet Battle #2":

He knows nothing of loyalty
Smells like new money, dresses like fake royalty
Desperate to rise above his station
Everything he does betrays the ideals of our nation

[...] do we not fight for freedom?

Have you an ounce of regret?
You accumulate debt, you accumulate power
Yet in their hour of need, you forget

Hamilton is shown as a man who came to power from an immigrant background against the odds. As far as I've been able to read up on him, though, that's historically accurate--and the play goes into the details of his policies and his personality flaws as well. Coming out of it and thinking that Hamilton is a purehearted hero for liberty seems like an overly simplistic and reductive reading of the play to me.

>that's traditionally what it's been for.

No, that's what it was for, and still is for, for the 18-25 crowd. When the older crowd started using it, their interest was different.

>The "long term relationship" crowd has literally every other dating app out there, but so many of them flooded onto Tinder to "just give it a try" that it changed things.

No, it was the 25+ and especially 30+ crowd flooding onto it that changed things.

The reason they like it is because Tinder works better for both men and women. Men hate traditional dating sites because they spend all kinds of time looking through profiles, then writing messages, only to get no response. Women get overwhelmed on those sites by all the messages from men they have zero interest in. Tinder solves this problem by forcing both parties to respond affirmatively in order for communication to proceed.

>you'd be surprised how many other women complain about guys doing just that in photos.

I have no idea what you're complaining about here. I mainly look at 30-45 women, and they love pictures of men with dogs, and frequently say they'll swipe right just for a picture of a man with a dog. Sucks for me because I like cats and not dogs, but oh well. And women typically love dancing, so that's not going to repel them either. What they do complain about is shiftless selfies, selfies in the car, selfies in the bathroom, headless torsos, and pictures of the guy with a bunch of women.

Naivity. The ads will be hidden in the content and articles/videos will be paid for by advertisers to shill their products with subtle mentions. Everything will be a PR piece, and you can't block that without blocking the content.
That's exactly the gist of unionization. Balance. No one is saying keep deadbeats around, nor can any enterprise be sustained by heroic efforts of a few very talented and hardworking individuals from within. It is an endless game of punishing greed while rewarding individual effort. Promulgating a win/lose attitude inevitably ends with the kind of status quo we have today in some, but hopefully not all companies US and worldwide.

I don't know when or where this inflection point is yet, but by the looks of it, it's already present.

Best thing an individual can do for now is draw up boundaries you aren't willing to cross... or have crossed, and never draw these in isolation of your kin. Talk, share, organize and roll with the punches... The cavalry isn't coming and sure as hell your momma isn't gonna do it for you.
I never said essays are non-actions. In fact, I used them as an example of them a type of action: one which would not cause me to disassociate myself from someone else.

I might feel a little awkward about it, mostly because I'm sure there would be several people like you doing their damnedest to make me feel that way. I'm not a robot, and I'm subject to all the same sorts of social pressure as everybody else. But if essay writing was their only "crime", I like to think that I would resist that pressure. I believe strongly in the freedom of expression and the marketplace of ideas (not just in the "constitutional law" sense, but in the "how we should act as individuals in a free liberal society" sense). It's the only antidote to groupthink.

Imagine how much sooner public attitudes to homosexuality might have shifted if people had always felt free to discuss alternatives to the status quo without being ostracized.

Not that I don't think we should hold people to certain standards. I just think those standards should be behavior-based, not opinion-based. In another reply, you mentioned Karl Popper's quote about not tolerating intolerance, which I fully agree with. But intolerance is a behavior, not an opinion. People have called this guy a racist (and maybe he is; I haven't read his writing), but it's the people who refuse to be in the same room as him who are acting intolerantly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this guy seems happy to share the conference with anyone who wants to attend, regardless of their race. That's tolerance, no matter what he thinks in his secret heart of hearts, or even what he has written about on the internet.
Apply HN: Favor – PhoneGap / Wordpress for IoT Development
For those not familiar with IoT or device development, currently software is written to work with a specific type of hardware. If your device is using a specific accelerometer, your software will be written to work with that sensor. If you want to change the sensor your product is using, you need to update the software as well. This means software can't
* be written easily as re-usable components
* isn't easily testable
* no separation of concerns
* difficult to debug (is the issue in hardware or software)

This is the first issue Favor is addressing. With Favor, the hardware has a simple config file which describes the hardware and how to interact with it. You then write your business logic using Favor to accomplish whatever task needs to be done.

Favor is an open-source javascript library, hopefully simple to use and accessible to a wider base of developers who may have never developed hardware before.

You can check out the library at https://github.com/favor/it or a demo hello-world video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKyFJ41amA

Keen to hear feedback, still in the very early stages of this.
How do you know anything subatomic is happening when you're not looking?
"Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself."
While I understand your position, I'm not so sure that Google, Facebook, and Twitter would look the same today if they charged each user directly for access.
I subscribe to four publications and fund two nonprofit publications. But let's assume I wasn't willing to pay. We should still stop supporting our own addictions. Especially since the people feeding us junk literally sell changes in our behavior to the highest bidder. This is madness, y'all. Opt out.
> That's great for you, but you don't dictate whether people who see things differently have valid views or not.

Why do you say this? Did I say something that indicated otherwise?

I'm just here asking why a person thinks the way they do, and giving my own thoughts so they have something to compare with. To come in and act like I'm trying to impose my views, and imply that my views are invalid because I'm not the target of oppression in this instance, is pretty bizarre.
Same here, I'm pretty sure it means rejection from both. Though their is now the Apply HN as well.
Attempting to count the trees provided a better understanding of what types of trees growth where with what density, though I would agree it seems like "just go plant some trees" might get more done.

>but I imagine the same would be true for females, except that it seems likely that a higher proportion of male Tinder users are seeking casual sex.

No, this isn't true at all for females (I have no idea about males, I don't look at men's profiles). Women who are 30+ on Tinder are NOT looking for casual sex. source: looking through probably thousands of women's profiles in the 30-45 age range.

I'm really getting sick of these meme about Tinder being for hook-ups. It's only the 18-25 crowd that's like that. Stop generalizing the entire adult population based on what college kids are doing.
Just got mine, quite disappointed, I thought I had a decent chance. Keen to hear the stats on applicants and interviews given.
Why not? For all you know, you might be attending talks from raging Nazis or hardcore Stalinists or people who think government-mandated key escrow is a decent idea. Is it only a problem if you know about it?
I'd argue that part of the appeal of instant film is that it's not a mass market product any more. There's no way it could compete with the billion smartphone cameras every single person at that house party already has in their pocket 24/7.

The appeal is novelty, nostalgia, simplicity, tactility, etc. It's in the same category as vinyl records.
Yes, it's an arms race. We might lose, but until then, let's go faster.

>But even Europe isn't quite as bad as the US. American public procurement---especially for infrastructure projects---is truly hideous and expensive by global standards.

I don't understand why that is. We paid ten billion dollars to replace the SF Bay Bridge, and it took forever. Now we're going to spend seventy billion for a train that goes from nowhere to nowhere, and very little is actually going toward construction itself.

Is it the cumulative effect of regulations, or the price of labor, or corruption? Something else?
I'm not sure why you wouldn't consider this noteworthy.

No, the effects aren't directly measurable. But why does this necessarily need to be an academic persuit? Trust me, I completely understand why purity of information/data/research is needed, but there's a certain point where "Yep, this signed document shows they're gaming the system for money" is all that should be enough. My "anecdata" is a clear example where money and collusion directly affects the lives of 2.6 million people. When four out of five candidates are swayed by money - directly or indirectly - in a way that effects that many people, it's significant!! Yes, thinning the candidate pool is god damn significant.

Mind you, this isn't something that I saw or heard in the news. This was told to me out of the horse's mouth while sitting in Fioretti's office with his campaign manager and Amara's old campaign manager. This meeting was done about a week after two of my FOIA requests proved exactly what Hendon said over Facebook.

Want to know why you don't see anything about this in the media? They never report it since they're dumbfoundedly not interested in any of it. Chicago's newspapers are the most disinterest group of asshats I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. Of course you're not going to hear anything from them. I know you love anecdata, but I'm going to give you an example of more, anyway. After the Chicago Tribune published an article that made national news on how they were simply suing the mayor for his mail/texting records, I called them and said I was suing for mayor's phone records. The journalist who wrote the article had zero care for his own article and basically said, "I'm just doing my job" and sent me to the person who did the research. I never heard a single thing from him. If these guys are supposed to be renowned journalists and this is the shit we get, of course you're not going to get anything that's researchable.

Use your bayesian reasoning skills instead of naively throwing away "anecdata". Christ.
It's not absurd, I enjoy existing over not existing.

The masses have been strongly motivated to prefer the easy, the immediately satisfying, the addictive, for centuries via advertising. If nobody wants addictive content then we wouldn't be where we are---domesticated, holding certain preferences that we like to believe are our own which are actually merely beneficial to certain businesses.

Turn on your ad blockers (and destroy addiction as a business model)? Yeah, right. Really, you're kidding, right?
CO2 regulations no more criminalize breathing than noise ordinances do. The quantities involved are vastly different.
It is a concern, but for me (which I'm extrapolating to "most" using this technique: https://xkcd.com/605/) it seems very minor. It's not a concern at all for the first car in a two-car household. It's a very slight concern if I was also buying a second Tesla for the wife. Some long trips we'd be able to take in the Tesla, and some road trips we'd have to rent a car to take. But I already have to do that when we take a vacation that involves a flight.

> And, if I understand correctly, in every other locale file too. This tingles my DRY sense in a bad way.

Not as long as your locale file is ordered the same for each region. Then the index match on the English string tells you which line to read from.

> Premature optimization may be bad, but I still try to always pick the faster option when it doesn't require too much work :)

Certainly. It's definitely a balancing act. But I think I give up maybe ~5% total performance for a ~500% improvement in code clarity. Moving to Java and things like that would increase the overhead by an order of magnitude while probably not helping readability at all (maybe just a little.)

Of course, if I were trying to parse a 20GiB text file, I'd probably be working on it via mmap() over a char* array :D

Don't forget the part where it pulls no punches in describing the country's first sex scandal!

Did you watch those videos? Because I'm curious how anyone can watch those videos and call what the police did, "brutality".

I've seen more police "brutality" in the suburbs of Canada when the bar closes...

BTW, brutality is in quotations because no one can possibly watch those actual videos and call the police actions anything close. The protester (singular) who was arrested, was not only twice the size of the fat, out of shape police officers, but there was barely a scuffle.

Here's a good picture of the police brutality from your link: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ceaq1QXWsAIOVNu.jpg

I think, since it's a database of hashes, it's non-reversible. Access to the database gives you nothing but a way to detect the files, and even if a file happens to have the same hash (which would be exceedingly rare) it's easy to see that it's a false positive. Actually a pretty good win for cryptography in fighting the problem (as it doesn't require the illegal material to detect the illegal material - regardless of how irresponsible it is to have a concept of illegal information).
