Hey guys,

Anyone here with music projects looking for co-founders?

Let me know :)
What do you think of PyParallel's approach of "removing" GIL?

My apologies if my reply came across as patronising/dismissive, it wasn't my intent.

I wasn't trying to lump you into the group of people self-diagnosed with 'EM hypersensitivity', but explain why some people find it hard to believe when people profess to having issues with mobile phones/wifi etc. If there are a vocal majority of people who make claims that can't be backed up, the minority of people who have valid claims will suffer.

My original comment back up the chain was to a comment that looked logically inconsistent regarding bluetooth power output vs. a mobile phone overall. Yours was perfectly reasonable.

I had read about that mobile-phone/brainwave study before, and I'm sure that given time we'll understand more about how EMFs do interact (however subtly) with the body. It is worth noting that I think bluetooth power output is many orders of magnitudes lower than having your phone communicating with a tower.

Lastly, have you looked into getting a femtocell for your flat/house? Could help reduce the power output of your phone overall when you're at home.
Completely out of context, sorry, but couldn't avoid to note this:

"Being easy to pick up and progress quickly towards developing larger and more complicated applications, Python is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in computing environments".

Why would you change the order of the subject in such an unreadable way? Isn't much easier to say:

"Python is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in computing environments, as it's easy to pick up and progress quickly towards developing larger and more complicated applications"

I'm not expert in writing, it just sounded weird. If anyone can explains what's going on there, really appreciated.
Not everyone believes the point of life is to maximize pleasant experiences. Or even that the best way to maximize pleasant experiences is to only experience pleasant things.

Fasting can make food taste much better, can focus the mind, might remind people that time if fleeting, or that some people never have enough to eat. People fast for a myriad of complementary reasons.

As far as the hardware's concerned, a Square reader is a microphone. Microphones work via the Lightning adapter. I see no a priori reason to imagine that a Square reader won't work that way, too.
Long term digital out over USB is really the only solution that makes any sense.

DACs and additional signals processing should be fine tuned for their respective speaker/microphone drivers.
There are situations where cookies make more sense. Local storage gives you less control on the origin where that data can be accessed. Local storage doesn't let you set things such has HttpOnly so that JavaScript can not access the data (this is important to limit the risk of XSS when dealing with session ids). Local storage also doesn't give you as much control over when data should expire.

I own a factory robot welding cell. It has triple redundant safety systems. To make it operate while human accessible, you have to activate the safety interlocks on both doors, pull the triggers halfway (but not all the way) on the teach pendant, and then the machine will only move at 10% speed. Even at 10% speed, if the robot turns and the cabling on it swings around, it can give you a good hit (from the welding cable on top). Would not be fatal, but it does give you a good whack on the head (I have experienced this!! haha).

Also, machine operating and machine programming are totally separate jobs. Programming is very high skill level, and operating is fairly low - my 9 year old son and his scout troop spent one night operating it to get their robot badge.

Why did the woman enter the work space, and how did she turn off all the safety devices? That would take a fair amount of effort on my machine, to get inside it while it runs. It could be done if you really tried, but it would take some effort.

As for training - nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has had the skill or training to operate that robot in the 9 years I have owned it. The operators were all trained by me, the factory owner. And while I have lots of pressure on me for production, an industrial accident will destroy that. Better safe than shut down by OSHA.

The first 1/2 of your argument: CIA. Let me be clear, I don't support Clinton, Trump, or anybody else, I feel you have to be an evil sociopath to even want to be a world leader.

I think he is just playing sides. Trump doesn't give a crap, but Hillary knows he's after her. Putin has shown an eager willingness to give asylum to Snowden, him, and anybody else.
I just think he's a sociopathic narcissist who watched too many thrillers and wants to wield power against governments.

- Strong willingness to work with mainstream news outlets to create high production quality investigative journalism (Assange has done all he possibly could).

In the beginning, sure, I'll admit you were right on this. The past year or two, however, wikileaks has failed to produce anything of substance. It's "leaks" (of Turkish dessert recipes) have been sloppy at best, irresponsible and dangerous at worst. Not even Fox would be as careless as he was with the personal data of millions of women in an islamist country. Sean Hannity isn't exactly Woodward and Bernstein.

- Resilience to meddling by the many enemies one makes (Assange has done well with this).

Has he? He seems to be attempting to wield his power against his enemies. Is that resilience, or vendetta?

- Reinforcing the strength and bias-free nature of the institution (Assange has made clear that he finds Trump and Hillary both despicable, yet this comment is ignored by many such as yourself).

His actions state otherwise. I'm not sure who posts more anti-clinton rhetoric, Trump or Assange. Lately Wikileaks' feed has have been emotional responses to criticisms and perceived sleights, and heavily biased character attacks on his perceived enemies. There hasn't actually been any journalism that I can see.

Assange has a problem with women. His character assaults against Clinton and journalist Zeynep Tukfeci are pretty good indicators of this.

My camera is more photorealistic. Stunning craftsmanship and the hyper realism is in interesting effect, but I've seen it before. It's so superficial to copy a photo.

So this is true on the email provider side, sometimes. Gmail (and a lot of others) rout foo+bar@gmail to foo@gmail. It's not required, but it's common.

The problem here, though, is that the email sender just stripped the + and sent the content to foobar@gmail.com. That's just a totally different account, chosen without warning.

Because the two cameras have different focal length (28mm and 56mm), the main advantage will be to provide a limited optical zoom, and maybe some kind of subject isolation if the subject is in the center of the field.

The phone cameras have already changed photography as we know it by displacing consumer cameras - as evidenced by the dramatic drop in sales for camera manufacturers in the last five years.

However, DSLRs and enthusiast mirrorless cameras are doing fine, and this new iphone is no more threat than the previous one.
He's always had a political agenda:

They're sometimes useful, and sometimes useful idiots. I think groups like wikileaks are a good thing, and it would be better if there were more of them, to prevent what seems to have happened here where they've been steered into supporting Putin's geopolitical agenda.
Yeah, the germ theory of disease and quarantine are incredibly valuable tools.

It's only in the last 150 years that it gained scientific acceptance.
> It's just that they failed to mitigate the obvious risk factors in their marketing plan.

Possibly. We won't know that for a fact until there's a couple of Q's of sales volumes.

What we can say for certain is that it's received an awful lot of, unpaid for, press coverage. As bad marketing goes it's quite impressive.

While I understand your sentiment, from a certain point of view, I find it sad. I'm likely generalizing, but it seems that the common theme shared among my millennial peers is that the job of the education system should be focused on preparing the individual for "life in the real world"

I would greatly fear the movement away from topics like history, science, civics/political science, etc. in favor of the creation of someone I would describe as an "economic drone"

I think it would be a great loss indeed to lose focus on our past.

A selling point which isn't enough in the current climate when it comes to living room hardware. As of June this year the Wii U has only sold (to retail, which doesn't actually mean total sales to consumers) 13.02 million units worldwide. [0] Compare that to the either Playstation 4 or Xbox One sales and the pricing of their new 4K iterations (respectively PS4 Pro and Scorpio) and it's obvious to see both enthusiasts and the typical consumer no longer value Nintendo's games enough to shell out $300 for their small catalog.

Their current strategy consists of developing and selling software to the casual cohort they lost between the Wii and WiiU release, in order to bolster new hardware sales. Buying their stock on the announcement of that software is ill-advised because no one knows what their new hardware looks like and whether or not they can convince that audience to spend cash on it when the alternatives are such better/easier sells.

What percentage of motor vehicles had a DVD player in 2008, vs what percentage of motor vehicles have an aux port today?

A car is not something you can just go out and upgrade. Try getting a dealership to install a factory bluetooth system in your 2010 chevy - let me know how it goes. Keep in mind Apple is decidedly against, on a cultural level, aftermarket customization, so some off the shelf, bestbuy radio head unit is not an acceptable apple-like solution.

>They've been explicitly designed to be as close to a universal solution as is possible.

Oh thats great news, then they must have covered these extremely common cases, right?

How about all my friends cars? Will i be able to play a song after my friend by virtue of this magical universal airpod system? (oh right, as long as i remember to carry my handy-dandy headphone dongle in my pocket at all times everywhere i go, ill be able to do what ive done for years without carrying anything!)

When i get into my car and bluetooth doesnt connect before i take it out of park, how will this system magically connect my phone so i can listen to music on my drive? (again, as long as ive got my trusty headphone dongle on me, all things are solved. It Just Works TM)

And those lightning headphones i just bought for my new iphone, how do i plug them into my mac, which doesnt have a lightning port? How about my PC? my android tablet? my ipod nano from years ago i use for working out? (yet another dongle of course! any true minimalist would swoon over the idea of having to keep track of several dongles with their mobile device - minimalism is apple design cue of choice afterall)

Besides all that, what is the latency on these airpods headphones? Movies are largely unwatchable over bluetooth because of the audio lag - has this been fixed? How about battery life? I use bluetooth headphones all day in my office, i generally connect them to my mac, because otherwise i end up with a dead phone battery near the end of the day - how does airpods resolve this issue?

Basically, what about this system is BETTER than what i currently have access to. To defend the removing of the headphone jack, surely you can come up with at least one feature that wasnt possible on phones with the headphone jack? I mean its not even any thinner....
>And that's simply because oftentimes, fitness is highly correlated with perceiving reality.

It's more than that. Building a whole range of fit animals whose brain-design is approximately correct in-general ends up being much simpler and easier than custom-building a highly fit but generally wrong brain for each animal.
True, however it is not typically labeled "rape" when the sexual contact aspect is consensual. It seems to constitute some sort of wrongdoing, but potentially also a misunderstanding. In any case, headlines and comments omitting this information and highlighting rape accusations are certainly intended to create a specific impression.
I completely disagree. I'm sorry, but I find it impossible to believe that enterprise IT departments and businesses were jumping up and down for 16:9 displays. Maybe all the stupid consumers wanted them, but consumers are not the target customer for enterprise laptops.

I think it's much more likely that the laptop makers saw an opportunity to save money by going to 16:9 because of the massive growth in 16:9 LCD screens thanks to TVs, because the LCD factories were pushing them for economies of scale.
Rat studies have shown that 30% of the normal calorie intake can have similar benefits to "proper" fasting.
I think fake bokeh is meh. It's right up there with the "Ken Burns effect".

Cell phone cameras aren't bad, given what they are, but the one lens I have for my DSLR is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Canon-28mm-Wide-Angle-Cameras/dp/B000...

precisely because it opens very wide which means you don't just get bokeh but you also capture a lot of light which helps with low light, high speeds, etc. There is a physical limit to what you can achieve with a little tiny lens.

If this is true, I am genuinely surprised that it is legal to sell "Truffle oil".

Take the truffle oil offered by 3 big UK supermarkets [1][2][3]. All three stores describe it as having:

> Ingredients:
> Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Truffle Extract

What else are we to interpret "truffle extract" as, other than an extract made from truffles?

Sainsbury's describes it as "Truffle flavour" [3] which I guess I could see as not actually stating it contains truffles (aside from the previously mentioned ingredients list). But Tesco describes it as "Truffle Flavoured" [1], which seems to me to more strongly imply it actually contains some truffle, and Asda describes it as "Flavoured with White Truffle" [2] which to me sounds like an unambiguous statement that it contains at least some white truffle.

If this article is accurate, it seems like a complete and utter con.

Then, with all respect, my comment was not directed at you.
"So it's good for losing weight. But not anything magic compared to simply eating less?"

IF is a marginal step in the path of increased health and performance that you should consider, and experiment with, after you've already taken the other, progressively more important steps.

So you're already exercising and maintaining a high level of fitness and athletic output. You're getting good sleep (partly due to the exercise) and meditating. You're eating good, whole foods.

It is in that context that you would then optimize even further - possibly with IF. The question of weight loss strikes me as a bit silly, since by the time you're graduating to IF to eke out marginal increases in health, you're already well past dealing with "weight".
It's not that simple. The economic situation on the ground is that anybody making less than $70k a year is better off on welfare. Factory workers make less than half that. Who would willingly train to do a hard, monotonous job when they could sit on the couch doing nothing and get paid more?

Phlebotomy is still the standard treatment for iron overload. Humans usually regulate iron levels effectively by reducing absorption when iron levels are high, but there are genetic diseases where this regulation malfunctions, and very high dietary intake (usually from supplements) can overwhelm it.

Iron overload affects many different organs so mild cases might not have any obvious symptoms beyond a vague sense of bad health. There has been some research suggesting health benefits to phlebotomy even in patients without obvious iron overload, eg:

As for production coding, I can't think of anything. Any ideas?

In other news:

> Historically, there is at least some mention of Italians infusing olive oils with real truffles, and Urbani Truffles sells truffle oil that it says is made from real truffles

I actually do that myself. Get a truffle, cut it in a couple of pieces and leave it soaking for a month or two in good olive oil. Not that hard, not even that expensive either if you live remotely close to where they grow. It's a bit funny how they try to make this look like if it was some arcane secret.
