It's not aesthetics for me as much as sufficiently older movies are a lot closer to stage plays in how they're filmed and storyboarded, and I generally dislike plays and musicals whatever the content is (case in point: I don't have any interest in Hamilton nor Disney movies). Then comes a lot of older movies having pacing that doesn't fit the time and mental energy commitment I am capable of making.

I can appreciate classics like Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, and the Deer Hunter, but I generally don't have 3+ contiguous hours to do anything anymore let alone watch a movie and I feel ashamed I can't honor such works with a proper, conscious viewing either. For "pop" arthouse movies closer to something like Begotten or Valhalla Rising, the effort to get value is even worse because I am not understanding what the symbols are and it becomes more of an exercise in "let's analyze scenes!" than "let's watch a movie to stimulate our minds." Some people don't like video games for similar reasons I feel - they want passive, decision-free entertainment.
I provided the very best and most recent research for the absurd position that animals supposedly have their own animal gods, attend regular communal worshipping ceremonies, engage in animal religious ritual, and demonstrate religious behavior outside of a priori instinct and social fitnesses.

You provided... passive aggressiveness.

And if animals now engage in religious ritual, doesn't that make them stupid for not being atheist like you? I expect several YouTube videos of you trying to convert your cat into the enlightened ways of post-theism.
>This is not true for students who take Advanced Placement calculus

I hated BC calc. Bad teacher. I learned the same material at the same time in AP Physics, and loved it.

I think a related issue to the author's point, though, is that students are taught in a way that implicitly suggests that calculus is the pinnacle of mathematics. Which is blatantly wrong.
Does not surprise me. I switched my internet contract to unlimited LTE here in Austria and it has been great. Would do again.

(Building here has fiber though so I might switch if it turns out to be an issue)

Deep work is not only about spending maximum time on what you really want to do. It more on how you get the maximum efficiency out of it.

And oh yes, "deliberate distraction" is highly recommended while doing deep work. So there is nothing wrong posting comments related to deep work on HN. :)

I like the rotating 3D model in the landing page very much. Are they using some sort of pre-baked library which lets you create such an visualization with 30 lines of Javascript, or is it 100% custom? Maybe someone can point me to a good resource for such elegant WebGL renderings.

A pattern that you see almost everywhere is: imperfect incentives/objectives + strong competition = perverse outcomes

Over the last decades, we're increasingly seeing this in academia (publish or perish), the corporate world (boost the bottom-line at the expense of everything else), politics (win the election even if you have to burn your own party to the ground), and many other walks of life, as the world has gotten more competitive.

To fix this, you can either fix the objective (which may be very difficult), or you can reduce the level of competition.

The kinds of "secret arrests" you're referring to are routine in organized crime cases. I don't know what the procedure is in the Czech Republican, but the info-criminals "secretly arrested" in the US had immediate access to their attorneys; the arrests just weren't announced to the public.

There are so far as I know no secret indictments, and "secrecy" does not allow law enforcement to ignore Habeas in the US.
Generally, when someone makes a claim of something to be true, it's up to them to be able to defend it with evidence. It's not incumbent on others to research it for them. For example, if I posted here "someone made a car that runs on water!", people would legitimately expect me to provide a cite.

Besides, one can't prove a negative. If you research cars that run on water, and don't find any, that doesn't prove that they don't exist. I could just say you didn't look in the right place, and you should try harder.
Sure, no worries. Text is a very sub-optimal medium to transmit the intent behind potentially emotionally charged questions.

To be clear, we certainly were behaving differently because there were adults around. We were worried that they might over-react, and so preemptively guard against such entanglements.

The 'engineering' was pretty simple:
1. Instruct our son to not release any information that someone could use to file a complaint against us. Specifically, last name, address or phone number. There are, of course, other good reasons to not release such data!

2. This would force someone who wanted to take official action to call 911, or otherwise contact the police. A non-911 police contact would not pose much of a problem since they lacked any contact information.

3. This would serve to give them pause: is this situation really an emergency? Of course it's not! But the final point was...

4. Make sure our son had a functional cell phone, make sure he would be able to call us at need. So if the police were summoned, or the adult pushed him too hard, he'd call us. We live 5 minutes away, so we'd be there right away.

I'm not sure this is 'engineering' per se, but in my brain mental steps felt similar to the engineering I do in my profession.
This is really nice. It would be good to check for a first time visitor, ala localstorage or cookie, and show quick instructions. Overall, very slick and could see as a great electron application that gets pulled up via keyboard shortcut. Similar to Notational Velocity, but as a to do list.

> it is about pooling risk for the benefit of the group.

AND making obscene profit for the insurance company.

I wish we had more things like this that were non-profit. An insurance non-profit could charge the same premiums as a company does today, then whatever "profit" they have left at the end of the year after expenses they just refund back to all customers as a percentage of their premiums.

Everyone would pay way less, all the employees still get paid the same, and we'd still have the benefit of pooling the risk.
Right. Banks can borrow reserves to meet requirements. It doesn't prevent them from meeting loan demand. Money creation is congruent to loan demand. Also, reserve requirements are accounted for in the next accounting period not in real time.
No, how do you equate Trump bragging about his success with women to sexual assault?

He basically said that if you're famous, women let you do things to them. As an example, he just said "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

He didn't sexually assault anybody, they consented. Where are you getting sexual assault from? And his statement is true once you hit a certain level of fame/wealth.

> he hasn't provided any explanation for what people are actually concerned about.

That is kinda vague. His views and ideals are known, he wrote several essays on that AFAIK.

> If you can decide that he is, why can't I decide that he isn't?

I don't decide that he is, he is by the fact of the involvement. If he weren't, the calls to purge him would be not necessary.

> In a society that respect the individual we can all decide who we want to associate with.

Surely, but I see no respect to that right of the YC members - in fact, they are being shamed for exercising this right.

> f people have the right not to support him then it's also their right to not support YC or any other organization they think is benefiting Thiel.

Of course they have the right. It's the cause that they are promoting in their exercise of this right - the cause of groupthink, intellectual conformity and intolerance to dissent - that is terrible.
Film has shown through history that it's a robust medium. Film has already been disrupted a bunch of times through technological and cultural change. It survived the arrival of color and sound. It survived TV and videocassette. It survived all sorts of changes to its cultural and social context. It has also disrupted.

The article notes a lot of things about the film industry which have analogies with industries in other mediums. (Note the parallels with the game industry!)
I'm not exactly good at it, but you need to ignore the snark as you see it.

Ignoring the snark, you then see if the issue really exists/is a fair point/is something you care about, and you respond as you would to any non-snark filled issue.

I don't see a point in trying to provoke the person, or 'educate' them, just respond neutrally and professionally, or happy and chipper if you can do it without it dripping in irony.
Srs. My ISP is Sonic, and I'm happy to give them money, because they give me every reason to believe they share values that are important to me, but god, I wish the NIMBY would get out of the way of them rolling out FTTP city-wide.

They now have On all plans, during congestion the top 3% of data users (>26GB/mo.) may notice reduced speeds until next bill cycle. Video typically streams on smartphone/tablet at DVD quality (480p). Tethering at Max 3G speeds. in the small print.

I wish they would just not say "Unlimited" if there is going to be a disclaimer, but the current situation is at least fairly clear.
MaxMind is another popular one.
Not really. What I was getting at was that social forces change over time. Certain members of the "man" class benefited from past social forces, not some innate powerful characteristic of the "man" class. So, it's wrong enact (and justify) policies to counteract that non-existent characteristic, like denying that class access to sex-segregated networking groups that are equivalent to those available to other classes.

Power usually goes to the classes who are most organized and cooperative. If you forbid cooperation, you eventually forbid (equal) power as well.
After a year trying to teach myself on the side, I enrolled in Fullstack Academy (coincidentally, a YC company) because it was quite difficult to figure how to progress on my own -- not because individual topics were difficult, but because I found it difficult to figure out where to proceed next.

The curriculum was well structured, flowed logically, and emphasized best practices that employers would look for during interviews. More importantly, you have access to the instructors, who do a great job helping you work through any questions you might have. Worth every penny.
(I used to be skeptical of business models like Casper but now I get it—a lack of options can be a luxury)

There are also outfits like The Wirecutter and The Sweethome that attempt to wade through all the stuff and find what's actually good. I wouldn't call either perfect but they are pretty good and a good place to start.

Places like Blue Apron are also now opening "marketplaces" that have specific stuff (https://www.blueapron.com/market) that seems somewhat better than randomly picking off Amazon or Google.
They want OAuth because as far as I know, gmail (at least as a default) only allows IMAP access with an OAuth token. And just because it uses OAuth it doesn't go over any servers, Google added an OAuth extension to IMAP so that apps can get tokens and use those to authenticate.
> Want to get a job? Have to get a college degree, hence a lot more people in college.

Respectfully, that's absolutely ridiculous. As you can see, even now those with degrees are only 30% of the population. The unemployment rate is nowhere near 70%, I can assure you.

I am willing to agree that the numbers have gone up because people fell for the marketing that told them they wouldn't find work without a degree, but that's entirely on them. We wouldn't give them sympathy if they bought an iPhone, that they couldn't afford, because Apple told them they had to have one.

> Even with home ownership I don't think the issue is as simple as urbanization.

It still comes down to supply and demand, and cities tend to be land-locked, leaving up the only way to expand. But as most people still desire detached homes, up is not an option to help with that market. Not to mention zoning issues, financial issues, etc. that can add considerable time to making upward growth available to those who are interested. Outside of that, the only thing that can give is on the demand side, but these cities continue to grow by leaps and bounds regardless.

Outside the cities, where supply is effectively unlimited and demand has waned in favour of urban living, we can find markets where houses have gone down in price.

> I'd say it's more related to something like wage stagnation

Which clearly dispels any myths that more education leads to higher incomes, so that isn't a justification for being there either, in case you were thinking it (many do, sadly).

> Vancouver is the colloquial example here I think.

I don't know why Vancouver gets all the attention. I think it is because Canada typically reports using mean, while most of the rest of the world use median. The mean average will tend to skew higher given the nature of the market, so it sounds scary to those not paying attention.

The median home price in San Francisco is about $1.1M USD[1]. The median home price in Vancouver is about $540,000 USD[2].

[1] http://www.zillow.com/san-francisco-ca/home-values/

[2] http://www.timescolonist.com/news/b-c/real-time-sales-number...

Now, the median income in Vancouver is about $20,000 USD per year lower than in SF, but $20K isn't anywhere near enough to cover an additional $560,000 on a mortgage. Not even close. So, in reality, the issue is far more apparent in SF than it is in Vancouver.
This also causes some odd results. If the MIT/Caltech/Harvard/etc student bodies are generally less intelligent than you might expect and often boring people.

You see the same thing at most national level high school competitions. The surface details may seem very diverse, but underneath that they tend to have a lot in common.

I'm still confused why the largest data plan in Germany is 5gb (with some options to top-up). And all data plans are bandwidth throttled after you use your quota. There's no unlimited options at all.
I think we teach Calculus wrong in a deep fundamental way. We should incorporate more high math concepts earlier into education BUT people are always afraid of anything past 4th grade math!

"A minority of students then wend their way through geometry, trigonometry and, finally, calculus, which is considered the pinnacle of high-school-level math.

But this progression actually “has nothing to do with how people think, how children grow and learn, or how mathematics is built,” says pioneering math educator and curriculum designer Maria Droujkova."

...

"“Calculations kids are forced to do are often so developmentally inappropriate, the experience amounts to torture,” she says. They also miss the essential point—that mathematics is fundamentally about patterns and structures, rather than “little manipulations of numbers,” as she puts it. It’s akin to budding filmmakers learning first about costumes, lighting and other technical aspects, rather than about crafting meaningful stories."

http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2014/03/5-year-...

Why is calculus the pinnacle when I actually feel that pre-calculus would be better students even make it into middle school? These concepts of patterns and structures is the foundation of not only math but also of language and reading.

Most people who use/consume mass-market, popular technology have grown accustomed to user-friendly environments and devices that just work right out of the box - so they have an expectation that things will just work.

In my experience, that isn't limited by age - and if anything I see the opposite, with the young being so used to great UX that their concept of technology stops at the GUI.
The FDA accepts reports of "adverse events" for as long as a medication is on the market. That info is incorporated into the stats of drug-associated AEs. AFAIK aftermarket AE stats aren't diagnosis correlated, so would include approved and off-label prescribing.

I use semicolons all the time; they are easy and useful.

The two clauses separated by a semicolon are sentences; thus the semicolon is logically and grammatically equivalent to a full stop. (As long as you normalise the capitalisation). The difference is in nuance, flow, and other soft things.

So when do you use a semicolon instead of a full stop? Whenever you want to!

The really difficult punctuation mark in English is the full colon.
26 years (it's still going after all because of the repairs done by shuttle missions) is a long life for a space telescope and particularly for one during it's time. Before Hubble most telescopes were only around for a handful of years before being shutdown.

There's a big difference between designing to fail and designing to be repairable. Even if it's possible it could have been cheaper to launch multiples but it's unlikely NASA could have gotten the funding to start making Hubble 2 in time for it to replace Hubble.
Crazy considering that Launch School (formerly Tealeaf) has an online program for $199 a month (working at it full time you should complete in about 4 months)

Seems like it would be much more expensive than the elastic demand model used now unless you used the guarantee.
True. And in the movie industry, it's not unheard of for nobodies to become superstars (JLaw was apparently spotted by a talent scout during a NYC family vacation). But I think film has inherently bigger barriers to entry, from top to bottom. At the blockbuster level, which is where some disruptive action would have to happen before the mass media starts declaring the disruption of film, I don't see any films while skimming over Boxofficemojo [0] that aren't either part of a franchise, anchored by an A-list actor, or based on a property like Marvel or a popular book/toy.

Let's imagine that a group of immensely talented and attractive folks have a brilliant video series idea, manage to attract the technical resources and funding to bootstrap it, and it becomes a hit on YouTube. Granted, that's a fantasy scenario, because as much as YouTube has democratized video-making, it is absolutely dominated by corporate content [1].

What's more likely, that this plucky group remains on the independent path while continuing to remain popular? Or that they choose to join the club and follow the rules so that their revenue and exposure can increase by several orders of magnitude? It's not just the movie-making part of film that is entrenched, it's the distribution networks that have longstanding ways of doing business, things that occasionally piss people off here (region-locked content).

On the other side of things, there isn't much motion like there is in tech, e.g. Facebook and its open source projects. The only thing that comes to mind in entertainment (besides actors doing stints at Shakespeare in the Park) is Louis C.K. setting up his own production and distribution channel. The work is great, but it is definitely not scalable in any forseeable way [2]
