No. You and your sibling seem to be thinking along the same lines.

When the mob goes against your wishes you've been overruled. But when the mob (or any entity) makes a decision that results in harm to itself, that was a bad decision. Decision-by-mob is incredibly amenable to this consequence.

Mobs are too easily swayed by rhetoric, appeals to emotion (particularly fear and anger, see the practical lynch mob calling for Clinton's imprisonment at the RNC). We do not permit mob rule in the US for this reason. We created a democratic republic to provide the majority a voice, but to temper it in a way that it would (theoretically) be harder for it to trample on the minority.

EDIT:

Further. I didn't say that it going against my views made it good or bad. I just said when a mob makes a bad decision it tends to go very bad. We're human. We're irrational. It's very hard to set aside our egos. If we make a bad decision, we too often see it through to the bitter end rather than cut our losses. When that decision is made by 100 million people, what's the consequence when it turns out poorly? The vast majority of those people stick with the bad idea. They don't just stick with it, they fight for it. They won't say, "Oops, we goofed. This was a bad idea and we need to change course." They'll say, "Let's stick with it and see if it gets better next year." They may even outright deny the failure of the plan they've chosen.

By removing majority rule, but not to the extreme your sibling suggests I was arguing for with a dictatorship (similar issue, dictator makes a bad decision, we have to kill them to get rid of them). See my paragraph 3. It's not a solved problem. It's not the only solution. But it is a solution, and it works pretty well. We balance the mob against a strong minority voice.
Not a doctor and sample size of one.

What worked for me was resetting the rhythm itself, by under-eating over long periods of time, 2 weeks at least, up to 1-2 months. I keep telling myself hungry is the new normal, and in the long run it becomes the new normal. Under-eating is not even that hard if one goes mostly veggie, that is eat fruits / veggies / eggs / cheese / yoghurt / fish and skip sugar / meat / pasta / bread / rice / deep fried *. Few more tricks: always have a bottle of water nearby, take time to have a meal [15 minutes latency for full signal to propagate to the brain], snack lightly on fresh fruits, veggies and yoghurt along the day [never go crazy hungry].
Do you have a link to details on the fungus theory? I haven't heard it before, but it sounds like a fascinating medical mystery.
If it's an internal app or if it otherwise doesn't need to be single-page-app, save yourself some brain cells and do something simple like Rails or Django. If JavaScript is absolutely required, stick with Sails/Mongo and skip the Ember/Angular SPA.
Some parts of the EU have had problems (the so called PIIGS) but the rest has been quite strong, overall the EU has started growing again.

The only way we would be isolated from a collapse in the Euro is if we didn't trade with Europe, I don't think that would makes us better off.
Technically, no, not unless asylum seekers themselves are threatened by the death penalty in Turkey which is not the case for migrants in transit.

But of course politically it would make any deals with Erdogan more difficult.

I'm waiting for reactions on how long you can sell cars made in Turkey in the EU market (e.g. Toyota, Renault).
Seconding this one. Focusing on stretching and mobility is the BIG one for me.
Most shells were 3 inch, 6 inch with some 8 inch. They weighed 50-300 pounds.

Super heavy stuff like railroad guns were much bigger and more powerful. Terrible stuff.
A similar revelation made me start hating most webdev jobs - after all, all you're doing is writing yet another way of storing bunch of strings in a database.
This would be acceptable if the benevolent dictator also participated in 6-8 hrs/week of exercise, and it was televised raw on CSPAN.

At the very least it would be a good motivator, and at I bet it'd be very humanizing too. "Oh man, our B.D. only did 7 reps when he was aiming for 10. Look at that sad puppy face! Just exhausted, but he has 20 more minutes to go."
Because most of the people around me are on Windows, I simply say "I don't know your operating system, if you were on (GNU/)Linux I could have helped".
In the vast majority of cases, you want your team to spend their time doing something other than reinventing protos, debugging the in-house implementation, maintaining the library, etc.

It's not clear to me anyway how doing it yourself would help keeping your codebase small vs using protos. In terms of code to maintain, doing it yourself is a net loss. In terms of binary size and method count, the proto libraries for Objective-C and Android are optimized like crazy.

Do you believe that those statements were legitimate (that is, truthful, unforced, and actually said by the officers they were attributed to)?

I'm not saying that they weren't legitimate. I have no information one way or the other. But if the regime wished to exploit the failed coup for political reasons, faked statements are one standard way to do that.
basically, wall-e?
I've stopped using my body and brain after 9pm other than for vital functions.
No, you're downplaying the magnitude of global warming an implying that the future impact has been drastically overstated. It's not splitting hairs. You're presenting a small revision to our understanding of global warming as if it undermines our predictions, and your own sources do not support what you're saying. This is dishonest.

I hope you have a great day, too.
This may sound simple, but what's worked well for me is to "boomerang" (i.e. return this email again tomorrow morning) myself an email every morning reminding me to meditate for 20 minutes.

It works well with my procrastinating mindset because, even if I miss a day, I never do not boomerang the email to myself. It's important to learn to forgive yourself if you miss a day, which is why it works for me.

I also always zero my inbox which means I can't miss the email.
As a Greek I’m glad that Erdogan prevailed. At least with him in power we’ve been through a long period of relative peace of mind. I’m not sure that would be the case if the coup had succeeded.
I think we have some thoughts in common; however, I foresee a future where people pay a monthly fee for a individually-sized self-driving car (maybe on the order of a smart car) to pick them up, take them to work, and drop them off. Then do the reverse later in the day. This assumes the future requires people to actually travel to work.

Decoupling car use with car ownership also makes short-ranged EVs much more viable. Once the car drops you off, it heads back to the mother ship to recharge. A different car most likely would pick you up later anyway.

Why I think driverless cars will beat driverless buses is privacy and flexibility. A bus still has to run on a schedule, driver or no, and let's face it, sharing space with people has its downsides.

Hypothetically, Uber could still co-ordinate rides as a spot market, or get into the "car subscription" / "transportation as a service" industry. But the first movers in that space will likely have to own their fleets.
This, along with the inability to intelligently detect a lack of necessary system package dependencies (e.g. libcurses/libpq-dev) is the most irritating part of pip.
I've also heard that it's a good idea to stop at a point where there are some very easy things that you need to do, even if you might need to introduce some errors to get to that point.

For instance if you were writing a paper, and hadn't ran spelling/grammar check for awhile leaving that as the first thing you need to do the next time you start work would be a good idea. That's an easy fix that doesn't require much thought, but gives you the immediate feedback of getting something done.
You know you're on Hacker News, right?
Not sure what to think of it:

An "ethical" ad blocking service launched Thursday that allows users to pay their favorite publishers not to show them ads.

No we won't. We can't see both sides of the comparison in this ethereal plane.
The funny thing about lists of features is that they tend to create their own focus illusion.

Here's what I want to know:

1) Are the various abstractions surrounding those things reasonably legible? Or are we back to talking about Factory Service Providers again or otherwise importing other bits of pattern hell idioms into a language where there's always been easier ways to get things done?

1a) What did they do to make scope legibility better? (Assuming we still have the same scoping concept)

2) Do the abstractions leak? Angular 1.x abstractions leak like hell. Even if you're not concerned about performance, you have to be careful about snakes breaking out from under them and providing unexpected behavior, if you are concerned about performance you'd better have a detailed understanding about how the digest cycle works and it's utterly laughable that people thought this was a reasonable tradeoff for two-way data binding.

3) Is the tooling better? Some versions of Batarang were just straight up broken.

Given that Angular 2 isn't really stable yet, I have my doubts these questions can have clear answers, but happy to receive surprise illumination.

(At the moment, though, still avoiding applying to work at anywhere that lists Angular as a requirement. There's going to be technical debt and likely enough an ongoing technical decision making deficit at anywhere that does.)
"why Donald Trump is successfully playing on fear and nationalism"

Bernie Sanders tried to pit the 1% against the 99%. This is also playing on fears and attempting to squash a minority through mob rule. Hillary is doing the exact same thing and now bringing the middle class into the mix by creating government programs that will reduce the middle class even further through taxes and regulations. California is a perfect example of this sort of governing: there is almost no middle class. You have the rich and the poor.

When I visit SF, I see more people on the streets/homeless than anywhere in the country.

I'm personally sick of the media (also shown in the DNC leaked emails) destroying anyone that doesn't go along with the current narrative of the day and all of the social media sites running with it as if these are facts.

Even expressing a dissenting opinion usually means: bullying, personal attacks, and finally silencing. I can't tell you how many people have been banned from Twitter and Facebook in the last couple of months for merely going against the opinions of the founders. Is this what we want in a free society?

Do I want Trump for president? No. But I want a stop to the madness. I wish we could actually have someone more moderate as a presidential candidate because I have views from both political sides.
FWIW I find vipasana (just focusing on your breathing) so much more effective than those apps, particularly Headspace. Calm with a little background noise and timer is fine. But with Headspace I don't see how anyone can meditate effectively when the guy is talking to you the entire time. Especially when he counts your breaths occasionally and your counting is out of sync with his.
I was just wondering what the author had in mind. But now that you ask, yes I think it does. Without a suggestion the opinion is pretty much worthless.
When Judging Coworkers: People Are a Package Deal
I've seen this pattern come up so often in the work world that I thought I'd mention it here.

Co-workers[1] will say they love one thing about you, X, but then ask whether you could also be better at another thing, Y; and often this happens when being good at X implies being bad at Y.

Take an introverted programmer. Many introverts self select for careers like programming. Some could argue that introversion makes you better at programming, that's your X.

But the first thing a company will want from such a programmer is to be more social, to do more presentations, to work all day in an open plan office, in other words to be an extravert[2], the Y, which is incompatible with being an introvert.

I've noticed that many qualities in a person come in clusters. It's rare to find a person that has a random combination of qualities from all over the spectrum. People are a package deal, and their qualities cluster.

Especially when you are really really good at something, in other words when you have an outlier quality, that outlier often pushes aside many other incompatible 'normal' qualities.[3]

If you like one skill in an employee or co-worker, but wonder why they can't just be better at another skill, consider that it might just not be in their nature.

[1] Managers mostly.

[2] Or at least to act like an extravert.

[3] This is my theory for why really smart people are often 'eccentric.'
Good diet. I've been underweight for years! Thought it had to do with genes or fast metabolism but turns out I was just a lazy person. Started cooking meals and stopped skipping them, it was hard at first because it's easier to skip dinner than to go out shop for groceries and make something. The effort has been worth it!

I've been studying for the CCNA and I've been having that moment ever since I started, there's so much to cover and so little time.
Well, react did come up with this https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2016/07/22/create-apps... recently.

Also, one thing that is not enjoyable/straightforward with(angular-cli) is having to utilize System.js in order to include 3rd party libraries in your app.
That isn't how self-driving cars work. They use GPS much like a person would and drive much like a person would (using various senses and knowing how to maneuver the vehicle).
What Western citizens do not know is that the military coup often has many legs: Military, Media, Financial institutions and Academy etc. This military coup killed around 250 people wounded 2000 people. Moreover, the senate and the citizens were bombed by the military. What would do if your academics are in bed with those criminals?
> Do you have any scientific backing to support those claims?

Not OP but this is a good summary: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3946160/

> Then I see the claim that it cures cancer and forgive me if all my alarm bells go off.

I think OP was implying that it may decrease your chances of getting cancer not cure it. Everyone will get cancer if they live long enough (based on the current state of medicine, that may change in the future).

edit: I should say that personally I don't really practice intermittent fasting (at least not consciously). But I don't eat after 8pm either, so I tend to do at least a 12 hour fast every day because of that. Sometimes I also skip breakfast which makes it a 16-18 hour fast. My biggest meal of the day is usually lunch not dinner.
I'm definitely weary of handing over my DNS data to a company I don't know. Besides, Safari ad blocking plugins already take care of this while surfing.

This may have unintended (both good or bad) affects on normal app experience since it's configured on the network.
Since I had starting looking for an alternative to NPM I have discovered a couple of things:

* All current package managers are either language or OS specific. What if you have an application with code written in multiple languages?

* NPM didn't have any kind of integrity checks for its packages, and I assume most package managers don't either. If you download a corrupt package, for example, you won't have any idea and it will still install.

* Some package managers do better than others with regards to managing packages. I found NPM encourages dependency hell and very little management tools for dependent or installed packages.

* A lot of package managers seem to intermix packaging, distribution, and a registry. The registries tend to have limited names to pick from (like real estate) and can result in legal problems. Also if registration to the service catalog is required you cannot self-host or self-manage the distribution of your application.

How do you handle the separation between home and work? I've noticed that when I am working for an hourly wage at a business I appreciate not having to think about work after I leave.
Focusing on stretching and mobility instead of strength when working out.

My #1 priority right now is becoming a breakdancer. Flexibility is such a huge component—you end up feeling lighter on your feet and incredibly alive. Changing my workouts to flexibity first almost make them philosophical.

The easiest way to do it is with Yoga—but it might get old quickly because there are many poor teachers.

Want to start doing it and feel like you always have so much to learn? Look up Ido Portal. OMG. :)
You are failing to consider the costs of switching from one service to another - people will put up with quite a lot to avoid inconvenience - as well as network effects: there's no point switching messaging platforms if all your contacts are on the old one.

I sometimes feel like I spent half of my working time writing down notes. I find having a buffer opened to write my thoughts down to be helpful in maintaining focus. At this point I'm often unable to get through some harder tasks at work without doing that.

That said, I still haven't figured out whether I've found a way to focus better, or whether I handicapped myself by unlearning the ability to think without writing things down.
I guess that is one way to describe it! I bootstrap people to help them become self-directed learners. I get them past the hardest part of learning something new: not knowing where or how to start.
It's startling for such a large company to make such blunders. Not unexpected, but honestly disappointing...

At one point I checked his public account on Imgur and his hosted albums had a set of S3 IPs & keys. Yeah, he responded very quickly to that.
It's pretty well established that in animal studies, animals that undergo caloric restriction live longer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie_restriction

I haven't kept myself up to date on it, but I think I remember that it was more about changing an organism's biology early in life. If you're an organism that is going to burn less energy per day, then you are an organism that just has less entropy per day, and less side-effect damage to your cells because of it. I think that the gist of it?

I saw that number too. But it's crazy wrong. A square mile has 2.5 million m^2, and I don't think the combatant nations produced 2.5 million tons of explosives altogether during the whole war. About 7 million tons (!!!) were dropped from the air during the Vietnam war. One ton per m^2 works out to 1.2 billion tons over the Zone Rouge that the article talks about. That just can't be right.
At least with respect to the 2008 financial crisis, there was actual fraud going on there. People were lying about lots of things. Doing it a little may be subject to breach of contract lawsuits. Doing it a lot is fraud, and can be prosecuted.

Sadly, hardly anyone was indicted, so there's no point (yet) to debating the usefulness of the death penalty for white collar crimes.
If this were full-time freelance work (in Sydney, Australia no less), $40k in 120 days is hardly sufficient for the skills involved. That is to say, bug bounties should probably be higher...
What about sweating?
Hey Patrick, I posted this on another thread, but try focusing on flexibility first. Strength will come later. You can pretty much always stretch and will start seeing feedback. If you get into a routine, you will feel MUCH better and more alive.

Click through for my last comment.
I guess it comes down to whether being able to pick relationship terms à la carte outweighs the benefits of discounts via a bundle deal and having some influence via a seat at the table. There's a chance that, long term, this restructuring is worth the human-effort capital.
It's the focus on path integrals that obscures the fact that the Lagrangian is an operator. Except maybe for convenience, there is nothing about such equations that is unique to the path-integral formulation.

The fields, the Langragian, and the scattering matrix are all operators; but of course their matrix elements are numbers. The path-integral formulation is a good -- and I think physically well motivated -- trick for calculating those matrix elements in terms of merely fields and their associated Largrangians.

There's nothing illogical about it. You put pure competition at the foundation of the whole society, well then pure competition permeates everything. The more competitive you are, the better you're blending in.

Of course, there's the little nagging fact that the whole system might be orthogonal to stuff such as happiness, or enjoying life.
The edge of the network often has asymmetric bandwidth. ADSL and cable infrastructure are geared towards serving the home and not serving from the home. Niche applications e.g. low bandwidth m2m may emerge where there is a strong use case but in general the limitations of the uplink will constrain server applications for most users in the foreseeable future. It will be interesting to see if anything different emerges from the small set of fiber connected households.
