>> "In fact, for me, marijuana makes me even more accutely aware of physical discomfort. Am I just an oddball?"

Nope. It's the same for me. What I eventually worked out (I'm not 100% sure of this but I'm pretty certain) is that the strain of marijuana is important. Unfortunately I don't get to choose in my country :) But if it's a strain that gives a body high I become more aware of the pain, if it's not I become less aware.

Edit: If someone with knowledge on this matter can confirm (or refute) my assumption I'd appreciate it.
The Greenland shark is pretty unusual.

* Eating it has a deleterious effect on sobriety [1].

* It's also the most toxic shark meat out there. [ibid]

* Female Greenland sharks take 150 years to reach sexual maturity (no word on the gestation period).

The study also shows that Greenland shark females don’t reach sexual maturity until around 150 years old — suggesting that a century of heavy fishing could wipe out the entire species, says Bushnell.

I just find it a little difficult to believe that the one thing to have truly plagued mankind for all his existence (death) has suddenly received a serious blow. It has literally never happened before (as far as we know), and I'm not saying it can't, but current technology is like an infant if you consider it in the scale of what could be. I don't think death is just some easily fixed malfunction, but maybe many do.
The DDoS market is already pretty active, so these coins would immediately have value. This is also a significantly safer way to get paid than advertising services for bitcoin or something.

You don't send actual transactions with the PAY_TO_DDOS opcode. Transactions are just how messages are passed around on blockchains. This transaction sets a bounty. Day to day, miners mine by hitting on a preselected whitelist, and can also monitor bounties looking for higher paying targets.
No, i think the jump was technical.

AIM and similar gen IM protocols expected that you were using a desktop or laptop with a persistent connection. This would break on iPhone because Apple didn't allow backgrounding.

Kik and similar took over once Apple introduced their push notification service. This allowed apps to behave closer to text messaging.
However much space you personally need, it's beneficial to be isolated on a separate /64 from other clients. A lot of services block IPv6 abuse on a /64 basis. It sucks when one jerk gets everyone else in the data center blocked by something.

Looking at the bigger picture, too many people are doing utterly useless or even harmful stuff. If you're reassigning efforts, you should start there.
1) Expected cost of failure = probability * cost given failure occurs. Many people will fail to correctly estimate expected cost when the probability is low but the cost number is high.

2) In this case the probability estimate was also wrong, i.e. lax security gives a P of a security failure of very nearly 1.0. (I suppose you could argue that the P estimates made were good based on the information available).

3) There are strong pressures suppressing the information flow coming from people who can and do correctly estimate the probability and costs. Basically they're typically dismissed as being OTT drama queens or oddballs. After all, fixing the problems is a real cost now, versus a possible cost in the future.

It would be up to the citizen scientist to keep up with newly published papers.

I think it would be interesting to create an environment that encourages the hobby scientist to follow the forefront of research. Maybe something like the Recurse Center but for maths and physics. I'm not sure where the funding would come from since the Recurse Center seems to make money from corporate recruiting. Maybe universities?

If cost per capacity were your only concern, you would still be using tape. You can get LTO-6 for $12/TB, but HDDs start at more like $25/TB, and SSDs are more like $250/TB. SSDs keep dropping in price, but without a major breakthrough, the crossover probably won't happen before 2020. 2020 is far enough away (how many generations of semiconductor fabrication is that?) that most people are hesitant to make this kind of prediction.

So the best answer is, "Who knows? Probably not for a few years, at least." We'll continue to see hybrid fleets for a while yet.

Maybe, in the meantime, the SSDs will be cheap enough that you don't need something cheaper.
+1 on "You should seek help.".
If that is your current experience - that's not the natural mode for a human being. That's not something everyone automatically arrives at by just going through life. That's just your own psychological problems that are causing you to perceive life like that.
Someone who is in such dark mood most of the time, will naturally attract other people who live in the same mood currently, and as a result, it will look like the rest of the people are all like that, and such person have a hard time to understand the happy ones.
And it does not have to be this way, the problem in your thoughts and beliefs. In order to change them you need help.

Whatever you do, at least don't undermine the science that tries to prolong life. I am not saying that you might have wanted personally to undermine it, it's just that the argument of yours (coming from similar people) comes up EVERY TIME eternal life is discussed.

Unfortunately there aren't as many good electronics resources online as you can find for software.

"Lessons in Electric Circuits" by Tony R. Kuphaldt is a pretty good introduction to the basics, you can find an improved version online: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/

The most popular book is probably "The Art of Electronics", it's pricey but well worth it if you're serious: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/0521...

Check the usual suspects for communities, e.g. Reddit (/r/electronics, /r/AskElectronics) and StackExchange.

That's correct. It will take a fundamental change that may only be possible with genetic modification to get past the 110-130 range. 150 appears to be solidly out of reach.
As mentioned it's addressed. But also there's an easy defence of just updating the certificate key if under such attack. With Let's encrypt around, getting a new certificate is not a huge deal anymore. And rekeying is possible with some other services as well.
No it doesn't differ, its all modulating wavelengths of light through a piece of glass, CWDM using LEDs and DWDM using actual lasers. Routers put packets onto an interface queue at layer 2. Layer 1 what is what handles which wavelength(lambdas)those bits modulate.

Of course, we still need the resources to build them...

How old are you now? It's very easy to say you're not scared of dying when it's a distant, abstract concern that you aren't really confronted with.

Some people, upon becoming terminally ill, suddenly realize that dying is a much bigger deal for them than they thought, now that it's an imminent possibility.
Syllabus of Science Class: Everything Is Fucked
eh, raise the terms as an exponent and subtraction becomes division. :)
Idiots? nah. More that one develop mental myopia if one wander the same proverbial halls all day. One start to expect things others may not, or overlook details.

Its how the mind can operate with such apparent efficiency. After all its primary concern is danger, procreation and food in that order.

And danger is in nature most often something that is not present every day, and thus stands out like the proverbial sore thumb once it shows up.
The notion of our reality being an emulation feels analogous to the "we're first; we're few; we're fucked" notion of whether there's alien life. Someone has to create the emulator, if an emulator indeed exists (at any given time). Maybe that will be us.
Not the op, but it seems to me that stopping huge numbers of bodies crossing the borders illegally would free up resources to focus on the smaller amount getting through and the drugs in particular.
While I agree with plenty the author wrote, I have seen plenty of people who are great with math, can speak the language, know how to promote their results in pubs and conferences, and yet are still completely and totally wrong.

My best example is a smart physics graduate that I went to grad school (in biophysics) with. An open problem at the time was how motor proteins couple the energy in ATP hydrolosis to directed motion. I said one day, "hmm, maybe it works like this..." and she said, "oh no, my advisor and I proved that mechanism was impossible."

A few years go by, we're getting ready to graduate. I ask her, "so, since you spent the last 7 years studying motor proteins, how do they work?" And she told me it was the mechanism I had proposed. I said, "but you disproved that!". And she said, "well, then I collected data, and it turns out our assumptions are wrong."

I constantly end up arguing with quantitative people in my own old field- for example, I used to argue with people who did GWAS, they insisted all their stats were great and perfect, then Ionnides and others showed their stats were abysmal, and they were massively overconfident in their results.

This is not to say all the cranks are right- they are almost certainly wrong. Anybody who attempts to get around the second law of thermodynamics is going to lose, unless there is something truly and fundamentally wrong with statistical mechanics.
Standardization is generally distinct from whether something counts as a language or not. English lacked standardization for centuries (almost a millennium if you count it right) after it became a distinct language.
Yeah, well the way FB handles it is glueing on features later. I'm thinking more of something like Github or Dropbox. See, if Dropbox or Github dies I still have my data in a readily usable form on at least 3 machines. It's inherent to the tools, not a feature that is glued on later. People are too lazy to regularly export their Facebook.

Btw I know it's quite hard to make as an inherent feature for that kind of service, but it's still part of what I understand as the promise of "home for my memories".

If you have to do it the export way. Please make it an API, and put your data in open formats like odt, email, what ever open street map uses for map files, etc.

And don't forget. If you make a cool business that only runs for 2 years, you may make 6 or 7 digits of money. But if you provide a real solution for people's problems you make a living, even if the first business around it dies.

Prove the downvoters wrong, and build some awesome 7-second games. It hasn't been done...and so you're seeing skepticism. If it takes you an hour to make something like that, maybe you can have a dozen a day, and maybe 80 per week. Showing off a few dozen decent game prototypes in a week of work (or even just one, running in under an hour and popularly judged worthwhile) would be great.
Caching is just an optimization, not a feature. If the content hasn't been cached yet, then there is a good chance that a caching is piggybacking on your transfer.
12 Things You Missed in New Orleans in the Last Month

I understand your point; but we should remember that the redesign of the shifter did not happen in isolation.

Car designers have been tinkering with controls for decades. Sometimes the addition of new ideas can be very helpful. For example, I had a Ford Taurus back in the late 90s. Buttons that had a "positive" effect had a convex portion; buttons with a "negative" effect were concave. Door locks, cruise control, etc., all worked this way. It was very easy to operate that car without looking, or in the dark.

Now add to that the computers-do-everything reality of the modern world. Controls that used to be directly hooked to some mechanism no longer are; software reads the control, and software initiates the desired effect. This means that the form of controls is no longer dictated by the mechanisms they relate to. Designers are free to design controls that users will find easy to use and intuitive.

And so designers have tried all kinds of things. But, alas, some of them turn out to be bad ideas. I don't say this excuses the design flaws at issue here, but I do think it does go a long way toward explaining them.

[Meanwhile, I have a another Ford Taurus. No convex/concave buttons. I have no idea why not. :-( ]
React Server uses React; the page that has getElements is sort of a meta-React-component that has other specified behavior, as well as returning a React component to be mounted. So it renders the first page you visit on the server (for fast loading), then all subsequent pages are rendered on the client.

The bit that I take from this is a scientist who is taking on a mission to explain himself fully, to people who make an effort and give a damn. Very easy to call people like this cranks, and rather hard to make something positive come out of the engagement in many cases.

I'm in Portland, and I'm not even in the same type of work as you (I do Systems Engineering work), and I know you're _woefully_ underpaid given the kind of experience you have.

I agree. I'm 50, and am in no way conceivably done living. Just the programming projects I want to do in the short term will take me a couple of decades to accomplish. If I knew I could stay at a reasonable level of health for another 100 years minimum, I'd tackle some harder problems that could take much longer.

Also, as a spectator in this world of ours, I'd like to see what happens, good and bad, over the next century or two (or more).

There are various inputs to productive processes (economic or otherwise): time, labour, raw materials, capital, information, and energy. Possibly land space or area.

Of these, time passes (whether you do something or not). Capital is generally not immediately consumed (you might consider enzymes in biological processes as similar). Information isn't consumed (though may decay with time). Raw materials are transformed but fundamentally continue to exist.

The distinction is energy, and in particular energy derived from fuels rather than flows.

The most-mined material on Earth is coal. Oil and gas follow closely. After these, it's sand, gravel, aggregate, and rock -- we never truly left the stone age, we just process our stone far more effectively.

After processing iron ore, you're left with iron or steel, which can, at least theoretically, be recycled. Other materials operate similarly.

Fuel for living beings (that is food) is part of a flux attached to solar power (and mineral cycling), which is renewed annually.

Fuel-based energy isn't. Coal, oil, or gas, once burnt, won't re-accumulate until recharged, on scales of 1,000 to 1,000,000 or more times longer than their use-cycle (that is, we're using coal, oil, and gas 1,000 to 1,000,000 times faster than they were originally laid down). There's a wonderful paper exploring this, Jeffrey S. Dukes, "Burning Buried Sunshine" (2003), availble at stanford.edu, highly recommended.

Vaclav Smil also gets into this dynamic, I in his book Making the Modern World, in which he excludes from consideration food and fuel as materials of the modern world (along with air and water):

Exclusion of food and fuel is justified not only because these two large consumption categories have been traditionally studied in separation (resulting in a rich literature on achievements and prospects) but also because they simply are not sensu stricto materials, substances repeatedly used in their raw state or transformed into more or less durable finished products.

Unlike raw biomaterials (wood, wool, cotton, leather, silk), metals, nonmetallic minerals, and nonrenewable organics (asphalt, lubricants, waxes, hydrocarbon feedstocks) foodstuffs and fuels are not used to build long-lasting structures and are not converted or incorporated into the still increasing array of ephemeral as well as durable industrial, transportation, and consumer items. Foods are rapidly metabolized to yield energy and nutrients for human growth and activity; fuels are rapidly oxidized (burned) to yield, directly and indirectly, various forms of useful energy (heat, motion, light): in neither case do they increase the material stock of modern societies.
It is a very very old protein, stuck in local maximum more than anything else.

If you are speaking in terms of spiritual experiences, you can of course be having any kind of those and nothing can really be argued about it, because they are subjective.

If, however, you are making an objective claim about "past lives" and reincarnation - there is no solid evidence for it. 99% of "past life memories" examples are in the form of "I had a family and we had a house" (omg, that sounds like our dead relative, you must be him reincarnated), or in a form of an obviously imagined past life of a historic figure, with details which have been read in history books by the individual claiming to experience the said past life. And interestingly they always seem to read about the historic figure first (giving their subconscious mind the change to soak up that knowledge (in this life though)), and "experiencing a past life" only after.

So to answer your question - because you only get one particular mind, and that's it. This is what science shows us. Whether you "feel like" you are "one with all other minds" is just a subjective experience. It's not physical reality.
If I was personally making thousands a month from a web app I made, I don't think I'd want to advertise that. Partially because it motivates competition, and partially because I feel like public information about my income could later be used against me (no concrete examples other than alimony/child support). I wonder why these people aren't bothered by this.
Sure, but that doesn't mean we live in base reality. Simulations running simulations!

Eyeballing Google Image Search? What an absolutely absurd way of figuring out what Scandinavia is. First of all, "every image" isn't even close to true, as many of them clearly highlight Finland (and Iceland) in different colors and many of them include non-Scandinavian countries for context (like Poland and the Baltics). If you actually click on any of those links, they don't "say he's wrong". From one of the first result's webpage (Wikipedia):

> The term Scandinavia always includes the mainlands of the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Norwegian dependencies, including Svalbard and Jan Mayen, are usually not seen as a part of Scandinavia, nor is Danish Greenland. However, the Danish Faroe Islands are sometimes included, as sometimes are Iceland and Finland

Finnish isn't even remotely related to the Scandinavian languages. If you're going to be needlessly pedantic and contrarian, at least put a little more effort in it than glancing at Google Images.
