It's an interesting idea for a place like Australia - use solar power to desalinate water, and pump it inland. You could create an oasis in the middle of nowhere, sort of like Las Vegas.
Yeah, I thought that was a bit much. I think most people getting parking tickets are assholes who think they're the pretty little snowflake and can take an exception to all the rules everyone else supposed to follow.
That's sort of an unnecessary dichotomy. Enthusiasm doesn't mean hoax, and the mistake was propagated by more than just the inventors.

Everything suggests that it was just science in action. There was an experiment, and it failed to reject the null hypothesis of 'no thrust'. A few groups have repeated the experiment, but not to the experimental power needed to thoroughly reject it. This test seems to be a more definitive rejection of it, but we're still not sure why there was any thrust measured in the first place, though there are some pretty reasonable leads on that.

I tend to not be convinced by self-improvement recommendations that aren't explicitly tailored to specific people and their personalities. There are so many variables in play!

Here's how I would theorize about the problem of self-change. Change is hard, it would seem, because our habits are a large complex system that often reinforce our current ways of operating. Perhaps an "extreme" change in one dimension is a sufficient and even the most effective way to trigger systemic change. But in other cases, one might need "medium-level" change in two or more dimensions. It depends on how "the system" (i.e. the person and their environment) are interconnected.

In any case, I'd be interested to hear what people think. For people that try this, please report back.
Would bricks or roads created from melted sand be stable enough? This is something I've thought about as well. There are parts of the world that have lots of sunlight and lots of sand.

> How would that even work? The costs are actually costs.

I'm not sure how it would work. Corporate income taxes don't make much sense in itself of course. The profits could be taxed as cap gains and everyone would be happy - so long as companies weren't multinational.

The problem here is that a company may be making a huge profit in some country by using resources paid for by tax money in that country (such as roads, in the case of Uber) but due to licensing and the ownership structure, the company does little income in the country and no cap gains either because the owners are elsewhere.

The only solution to this problem if you do have corporate income tax is to establish how much profits Uber actually made in each country, and have the profits taxed correspondingly.
No, there are already plenty of other services to be used to send SMS to your phone.
I don't see how you can possibly make this comparison. What VW did is so much worse than legal but creative tax strategies. VW deserves to pay for all of the harm it did to the environment and our lungs.
I think "this one guy writes said $stuff" "and she replied $morestuff" followed by a punch line that draws on some fairly recent gaff by a (Muslim) head of state, diplomat, CEO, etc is sufficiently within the envelope of what's acceptable. You don't have to reveal names and details to be funny.

Okay, so I just wasted 10 minutes reading a half-hearted list of milquetoast "extreme" improvement methods (like not keeping a to-do list) that the author has not bothered to test on himself yet.

Often treatments balance the toxicity and mortality rate of the "medicine" with that of the disease, e.g. chemotherapy. HIV treatments have long been among them.
I have a different reason: Because a family won't pay to get 3-5 unlimited lines from T-Mobile. 4 unlimited lines on T-Mobile = $220/mo, unsubsidized. And sprint's data still isn't really to the speeds of T-Mobile or Verizon.

These plans aren't as amazing as people think, especially since they still limit tethering (and maybe maybe throttle data).

However, I think your conclusion is correct. If 4G was fine, the market value of cell tower time would be a lot lower.
I think language is essentially hacking our memory model which developed around emotional associations with the world. We have sensory input which we translate into associations like danger or pleasure and need to store those in a way that relates in useful ways to the complexities of the way the world works so that we can function as animals. Something like a shriek which might signal danger in one situation might signal happiness in another.

For most people, words start out as sounds, which we are primed by biology to remember and react to. We then form relations around these sounds and their associated symbols or textures for the blind (which sensory input is primary doesn't really matter) and reinforce our associations with emotions and other words to form complex relationships. When we have formed enough of these conections, we can start to establish complex logical arguments around their arrangement and connections. Logical problems become clear in the same way that we are able to react to dangers or opportunities in the real world through the application of memory associations.

So when we string a series of words together, we aren't just bringing up the direct meaning of the sentence. We're bringing into working memory all the various levels of association which those words bring. We're always thinking in these multiple dimensions, whether or not we're directly aware of it. Words are just ways to direct the flow of these associations based on our memories and experiences. When I'm thinking about a sentence, I tend to try to focus more on the periphary thoughts and emotions which they bring to mind rather than focusing on the base meaning.

Well, I can tell you this... I did tests long time ago and since the test I got many contacts around since my IQ is extremely high. I don't socialize with people I had only few people with who I have spended some longer time and I have noticed since the begining of our friendship untill now their way of thinking extremely changed.

Did I read that correctly, seriously, did I read that correctly, he didn't say that people who get parking tickets are the most vulnerable people in society, right? He didn't. He can't.
Yes.

"thinking" for me is a stream of thoughts.

But speaking helps to linearize those thoughts and makes them more distinct.

I often just talk to people about my thoughts because it helps meto structure them with the help of language. Sometimes I even get to the point where I have a thought that doesn't map to a word.
Most of the offending lights, as far as I know, are badly done retrofit kits that don't have the proper focusing hardware. Owners and cheap shops just drop an LED replacement into a "standard" headlight reflector and get horrible results.

>We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten — a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.

>I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

He has a couple interesting interviews out there. I wouldn't know how to find it again but I watched a live stream where he was taking questions from anyone.

And by "it" you mean the Islamic religion I assume?

I don't see what distinction you're trying to make. Is it somehow more acceptable to be prejudice against an entire religion than it is to be prejudice against an entire race? Is that really the discussion you want to have, that some prejudice is acceptable and other prejudice is not?

> On top of all of that 4G is still so data-restricted you cannot do anything with it that the speed was meant for.

Please don't confuse profit-oriented carriers with what 4G is capable of. Or states which through legislation create high network construction and operating costs. For example by having laws enabling unreasonable profiteering for cell tower site real estate. Or by collecting high fees for radio spectrum. Or by failing to shut down spectrum squatters.

And states where carriers "co-operate" with government (= provide hooks to their network trunks) and are practically untouchable even though they practice rather obvious collusion.

In other words, please keep technology and societal issues separate.

5G or any other technology with a high barrier of entry is not going to change any of that.

4G works just fine where those societal issues don't exist. In states which have real competition between carriers and a low barrier of entry. Regardless of population density.

If those issues didn't exist in the U.S., truly unlimited data-only 4G would be about $15-$30 per month -- in a small Alaskan town or in the heart of New York and anything in between.
I too would like that, but with a filter so that I can remove babies, religion and politics.
So I pay someone in bitcoin, it doesn't get processed. I say ok, then I put another transaction through and this time pay a fee to get my transaction processed. Now, that one gets processed, but later on my initial transaction also was processed. It seems like these problems would make it more and more difficult to really use bitcoin.
New road sign for driverless vehicles
Sort of.

If I have a population of 1, or <= 365 and uniform dist of birthdays, the probability of a date being a valid identifier is 100%.

If I have a population of 365 with randomly distributed birthdays, then it is going to be the probability of not sharing a birthday with any of them (very low)

Once you can guarantee at least 2 people with each birthday the identifier is simply zero percent effective.

The Strong Sapir-Whorf hypothesis seems obviously deficient because you can certainly think about things your language has no words (concepts and feelings, etc).

It's the Weak Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that is much more interesting and still at debate. Certainly things that are easier to describe in a language would seem easier to reason with. Our brains leverage language as a tool to map concepts and the concepts we can name are easier to grasp and utilize than the ones we cannot.

The Weak hypothesis does seem like it would be affected by brain elasticity. Keeping concepts close to hand in your language would presumably keep them easier to conceptualize as your brain plasticizes.

I think the worst part is limiting the number of deployments you can do per month.

> 20 FREE deploys per month

This isn't good. I think the latest meta is that We want people to deploy early and deploy often. If something escapes code review (which lets face it: we make mistakes and is probably just two or more "Looks Good To Me") we want to catch it and deploy a fix as quickly as possible.

Do deploys really cost that much in terms of compute resources for you? Or is it just an arbitrary differentiator?

The greatest advice I have gotten regarding breaking bad habits comes from "The Easy Way to Quite Smoking" book. I think it applies to much more than smoking.

Basically what it argues is you can't quite smoking (or change a bad habit/addiction) using will power. Trying to use will power is just admitting that that habit gave you something and you have to 'give it up'. Instead it's realizing that you are actually gaining something by not having that habit in your life anymore. You are not 'giving' anything up. You are gaining.
No, this is less helpful. Everybody knows this, yet still a lot of us use facebook. It's nice to know what the specific problems are.
I used to do boxing earlier in college, and used to hit the gym religiously till last year, when my elbow fractured and got implants to hold it together. After that I wasn't able to do much activity, even if I wanted, apart from running. Even pushups carry a risk of screwing up the implants in my elbow.

What kind of physical activity do you think can be done in this type of scenario?

Its a sad reality of the culture prevalent amongst poor and rich muslims. Hopefully no one becomes a target of any blasphemy laws.

With that said, as someone who grew up as a direct witness to honor cultures and strong religious roots, labelling people who carry out violence as sadist is deluding yourself to reality. This isn't sadism, this isn't even fundamentalism. This is basis of a culture in which honor and religion are above anything else, and anything which deviates from the set rule is eliminated. Not doing so is considered outside the norm.

For an easy read on honor cultures, check out chapter six of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers and also watch HBO's doc on honor killings called A girl in the river.
Ceres (/ˈsɪəriːz/;[17] minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres) is the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Its diameter is approximately 945 kilometers (587 miles),[6] making it the largest of the minor planets within the orbit of Neptune. The thirty-third-largest known body in the Solar System, it is the only one identified orbiting entirely within the orbit of Neptune that is a dwarf planet.[18] Composed of rock and ice, Ceres is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity. From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, and hence even at its brightest, it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye, except under extremely dark skies.
