Context is very important in understanding commentary written in the 1970s. In today's world, people on various parts of the political spectrum are writing things about various Middle Eastern actors which they are sure to regret in future. I have a certain degree of sympathy for someone like Hildebrand - the coauthor of a book heavily dependent on Khmer Rouge sources which one of Chomsky's more controversial articles on Cambodia praised - who subsequently admitted that he'd been guilty of "intellectual arrogance" in being too quick to assume based on his Vietnam experiences that popular media accounts were fabrications and Southeast Asian leftist groups were relatively honest about the situation. I have somewhat less for Chomsky, who switched from insisting that Cambodian refugee reports were unreliable, casualties owed more to US bombing than the Khmer Rouge and that nitpicking over mainstream estimates of death tolls was entirely appropriate if they were out by a "factor of 1000" to accusing the CIA of Cambodian genocide denial (by deliberately misrepresenting a report which actually attributes 1.2-1.8m deaths to "the savagery of that regime") almost as soon as Cambodia was successfully invaded by North Vietnam, and who continues insist to his commentary in the 1970s was entirely balanced and justifiable.

This is all trivial. Simple queries are pretty easy to read as long as the formatting is vaguely sane. What we need to talk about is how to deal with queries with multiple nested subqueries (in the select clause and the where clause) and how to make that legible.

The fact that they keep throwing money at useless stuff like that new design for their logo, while at the same time they refuse to keep useful services online, is a clear sign of the downfall of the Mozilla Foundation.
Extremely cool of you to do this. Discovered the service yesterday, tried it, was amazed (hopefully not placebo) and today signed up (lifetime deal).
I understand ( it's been a while since I looked at it) that with persona, your identity is stored and handled by your browser, rather than an external service. I could have miss remembered, though.

I'd see it a bit differently, even if in practice you are right, at least the moment Persona added an account system. But also persona had the core idea that you get authenticated by proving that you control the email address entered, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona/FAQ#How_does_Per.... On top of that there was the browserid API.

Portier is passwordless login via email, with optional special handling right now only for Gmail, yes.
>One of the advantages of using Unity though is that you don't have to write your game multiple times. Large studios can afford to do that, and they do. But for small studios, the ROI on porting your game to the web is not even close to positive, so hardly anyone does it.

But once you have C++ code base with OpenGL ES 2 you're basically "web ready" - porting is pretty straightforward with emscripten. The only porting is what you would have to do with an engine anyway (input/gameplay changes for web)
Its worth pointing out that the effects vary by strain and some are better for some kind of work than others. For example, I don't think I could work well on most indica strains, but they may help me with creative problem solving (in smaller doses that don't make me too sleepy).

Yes probably in some cases - But I think a lot of 'socialist' laws could also be a target.

For example, it will be interesting to see how AirBnb will affect house prices in countries which are currently deemed 'tenant-friendly' (as opposed to 'landlord-friendly') - Those countries have laws designed to make property investment unsavoury for landlords and this has kept house prices down so far, but with the flexibility of renting out through AirBnb, housing might become an attractive investment option in those countries.

Ask HN: Why are there so many companies making TODO lists?
It seems like there are a lot of TODO or notes companies* (along time) in HN's front page and that they are constantly on the news; how can this overly saturated market be so popular? Is it because of the simplicity of the product to do/launch?

One would expect there to be 1-2 leading companies and the rest not to offer a differentiating advantage strong enough to warrant their existence.

Note: this is a serious question, I'm not complaining at all nor suffering TODO fatigue.

* with this I literally mean companies whose main product is a TODO list or a Notes app/web.

Heavy Polymer user here, I have heard about SkateJS a few times but have never really had a close look at other webcomponent libraries yet, will definitely have a look at utilising this in a side-project or hackathon style event at some point.

Sounds like racial segregation.
What is really frustrating is to go back. You never get that shortcut consistency like it is between different osx apps. Not to mention that my leftmost finger stopped being sick, because Cmd is just below thumb, not in the dead corner. Many linuxoids even remap control on capslock for that reason.

So, when you said

you really meant to say that you too have bought into that "lifestyle" for quite some time now?

It's not a "no true Scotsman" fallacy if you only implement the easy, happy, sweet half of serious practice. It's not even hard, you just need to include the unhappy emotions in the practice and not ignore them. All the introductory texts and lessons are very clear about this. If someone somehow manages to miss that, then yes, it's not a fallacy to point out they're doing it wrong.

"It doesn't work!", "Well you're half-assing it.", "Ah, pffft, no true Scotsman! I'm just going to assume it makes people entitled."

Interestingly, literally no one I know who is into meditation, are "like this". As an, all of them are quite aware that negative emotions are supposed to be accepted as an important part of the practice (it actually makes them easier to deal with, what's not to like). But then, I also have zero patience for people that eat the menu like this, so I probably filter and not get to know them enough to find out they're really into the "lifestyle" of happy floaty.

No. They work pretty much the same, except Portier is stateless, and Personal needed you to create an account before use, which was unnecessary. Persona also had special handling for Gmail. Portier will probably add more "special handling" cases in the near future.
> There's little in there about consciousness.

The article is more upfront about it. The reason why the paper doesn't lean on that too heavily is so it can evade scrutiny.

> I'm not a big fan of this brand of dogmatic skepticism.

I don't understand why skepticism about most things is okay, but when it comes to doubting claims about a supernatural "quantum" effect without any experimental evidence pointing to its veracity, that's suddenly considered too skeptical?

> Just admit we don't, as a species know.

Exactly! That's why it's not okay to just make stuff up and assert it must be true because it jibes with your spiritual worldview. We don't know if the proposed quantum effects exist, and until someone shows they do, there is no reason to believe so.

It's also worth noting that the proposed quantum woo doesn't solve any outstanding problem in neurobiology, they just love to make it look that way by having it address self-referential issues. All that crap boils down to proclaiming that the actual open questions in neurobiology are unanswerable because an inherently inscrutable magical field does all the real work.
No-one claims all startups are like this. That would be absurd.

Is this something that could split the conservative party between those in more UKIP-populated districts and those in more LibDem dominated ridings? What if the LibDems start campaigning in those ridings where they are strong in order to pressure those MPs? It wouldn't be in the interest of the LibDems as a party (who would benefit from backlash against triggering article 50), but it would be in the collective interest of individual LibDem-leaning voters who want brexit not to happen.

Studies have shown that perception of attractiveness changes when people get to know each other better (they rate each other more attractive). Most men are ugly anyway - and women see it as such, too. Their perception of male attractiveness follows a power law, whereas male perception of female attractiveness is a normal distribution. Meaning most women only consider few men attractive, whereas most men consider most women attractive.

As a man, if you can get the basics right (personal hygiene, good clothes), you are already in the top quantile. Bummer about the height, but there are also women who are not very tall.
As everybody that was calm knew back in june - Brexit will never happen.
Rather odd situation now. May was lukewarm on remaining, but may now be forced to whip her MPs into voting to leave.

And the MPs will be under pressure to do as people had voted in the referendum.

At the same time public opinion may well have moved.
It was only a study. Users were willing to accept higher prices, but no company was caught red-handed yet.

I've tried to use org mode several times. Its functionality is truly great, but having to use emacs to use it is too much of a hurdle for me. I struggle to remember all the emacs key combinations, so in the end I just give up and revert to text files.

It would be great if someone ported org mode out of emacs. I've tried the Sublime Text org mode package[0] but it's still too bare to be useful. Does anyone know of an alternative way to use it?

Another dangerous thing is that you get a sort of false validation from the startup bubble. You mingle with other startup founders and "everyone" is talking about your idea. You get the feeling you're onto something big but in reality the hype never spreads outside the bubble and the idea may not even have a market fit at all.

As a passionate remainer, as much as I want this to mean something sensible I hold little hope it'll be nothing more than a side show.
This was frankly unexpected. I wonder what P(supreme=no|high=yes) ? If anyone knows please say. Will the gov bother appealing?

The ruling makes available a sabateurs toolbox and could potentially delay Brexit for some time.

My bet is that the government don't appeal and then go onto put serious media pressure on parliament to pull the trigger quickly. Having said that I was definitely betting that the high court would pass this ...
Perhaps. Considering work is the most likely place to have clean bathrooms during the day, and there are a lot heavy masturbators out there.
For those who don't follow British politics this is very significant.

- Invocation of Article 50 is likely to be delayed from Q1 as the legislation will go through parliament and the (hostile) House of Lords.

- A 'hard' Brexit is less likely due to incoming amendments from remainer MPs and Lords

It also increases the chances of a general election before Article 50 is invoked if the PM feels that MPs will force too many changes to her negotiating stance.

Of course this is all subject to appeal, and ironically, could eventually be decided by a European court!

I have plenty of gripes about SQL but am not aware of any real alternatives ... which I do find bizarre - in the realm of programming languages in general we live in a time of Cambrian explosion in terms of the number and type of languages being used and developed, and yet SQL sits aloof and unassailable on its pedestal.

There are a number of clear paths not taken:

1/ A new, better language that compiles down to SQL;

2/ A set of enhancements to SQL that compile down to regular SQL (<= best imo);

3/ A new language that compiles down to the same AST that is generated from SQL: this of course would need to be done by the database implementors.

That we don't see this I attribute to:

1/ Perception that SQL is "good enough". Which is true as far as it goes, but again odd compared with the endless innovation in the world "normal" programming languages;

2/ Innate conservativism of the database tech community;

3/ Wide use of tools that already sit on top of SQL - query builder APIs, ORMs etc.

Litigating what the correct meaning of "startup" is on HN is not productive, but we should recognize that not everyone agrees with Graham's redefinition, and therefore arguments that cite his essay are begging the question.
