Hey this is my province! There is a large veterinary sciences building as part of the university here.

It would be great for the seaweed industry here too it used to produce Irish moss for carageenan, a thickening agent for food.

But as it is with the Irish moss it will go to Asia tropical waters produce more seaweed.

First thing you should do is realize your feelings are irrelevant to a business arrangement. I point this out because I'm not sure you realize this.

Second, talk to a lawyer at least for a free consultation on this matter. The answers you'll get her will range from past experiences to wild guesses, and will be of dubious helpfulness in your specific situation. In dealings where summertime brings up lawyer, it's wisest to stop taking to them and talk to a lawyer.

If the later advises you should work with the client to finish the project. Ultimately what the client wants is the work done. For the remainder of the work work with them to build a detailed statement of written with your deliverables.
Clueless or crazy?

It works like this: suppose you have an expression all in one line:

(and (or (foo) (bar)) (not (xyzzy)))

Of course you close the parens together; just like in any other notation that uses parens. When the line is broken into mutiple lines, the parens just stay where they are:

(and (or (foo) (bar)) (not (xyzzy)))
^ ^
arbitrarily, let's break here

(and (or (foo)
(bar))
(not (xyzzy)))

Beauty. This does not require additional editing to make:

(and (or (foo)
(bar)
)
(not (xyzzy))
)

Yikes! If you do this you will get flak from almost every Lisp programmer. (Why piss off those nice five or six people?)

This is done the same way in common coding styles in other languages, like, C:

if ((cond1 || cond2) &&
(cond3 || cond4)) // oh look
stmt;

It's not commonly done with braces in C-family languages, but that is neither here nor there; and it can be done fairly nicely with those braces.

You assume the estimate is based on numbers of trees instead of acres of forest. Two groups may measure the same coastline using different resolutions and end up with significantly different numbers. Likewise depending on the minimum size you get vastly different tree counts.

PS: Younger forests have more trees and significantly less wood.

I recently started and finished a side project over a week and did so on a computer that I don't normally use. I was not logged into any of my normal 'social' websites and I found my productivity was very, very high.

It was quite an eye opener.

This may also have something to do with the fact that this was a novel and enjoyable project (for me) with a hard deadline, but there were a couple times where my brain was trained to go open up Reddit when I was stumped on something, and I immediately caught myself since it wasn't the normal page and got back to work.
That's exactly right--kind of like working with an RPN calculator or staring at one of those "is it a vase or two faces?" pictures.

Further, once the brain flip happens, languages that don't use S-expressions start to feel uncomfortably... uncontained.
A year and a half? Hmm, I think that's about the time I've been more active on HN. Sorry about that.

It's just a thought experiment - not sure why you need to be talking about trolling.

So, if this person is professional at work, then you come home, and watching the news, you see a report about a neo-nazi parade, and there this person is, literally on-screen, shouting "burn the niggers*. Is that also ok?

Of course, this is an extreme example, I'm just interested in understanding where the line is, or indeed if there is one, in the minds of people who think it's ok to express any opinion without there being any consequence.

They're not necessarily wrong. They're just different. If the incentives make it easier for you to get preventative and diagnostic care, then you probably will. Presumably this leads to better outcomes overall than taking the risk that intensive care will otherwise be needed later on.
Concern over the decline of HN reached a head ~5.5 years ago.
Why social media only?

After being a news addict for years, I've decided to not only limit my social media posts (and reading) down to zero, but also the amount of time I spend on the daily news sites (NYT, Guardian, Politico etc). Instead I read media that operates on a longer cycles like weekly (Economist, NewYorker) and longer (Foreign Affairs, Private Eye)

Its been an interesting experiment: most "news" is just content that is ultimately inconsequential, discussing ephemeral events that will be forgotten by the next news cycle.

However, the weeklies and the monthlies, because they have to edit what they write about, do a great job of filtering out the fluff and giving me a better perspective of what mattered that week/month.

I've found I still know what I need to know, suffer much less distractions, and more time to read books (amazing invention btw!)
Great, and as it's a free country, it's then perfectly ok to try to get this person fired for those views, right? Or is the freedom limited?

Since no one's mentioned it, The Shallows by Nicholas Carr covers some of the neurological effects of constant social media/internet gratification quite well. Ironically it took me about a year to finish the book because I kept getting distracted...
>Think about it; why are your keys always in the last place you look? Because once you find them you stop looking. If you want to keep people on your site you hide their keys.

That is actually very interesting analogy! And when I think about my facebook browsing habits, it only makes sense. Of course it has a flow an rhythm. Something interesting I engage with, a bunch of filler I scroll through, another interesting post. If all that is interesting to me is crammed into the top of the page, that would drop the metrics. Less vertical space used, less ads, less time on site (biggie with investors, I'm sure). Probably get fatigued much faster too. Consume even less interesting stuff than the "long format". I wonder if it is really beneficial (at least to them) in the long term or it is one of those things not worth maximizing (metrics vs. reasons [1]).

Do you have any interesting reading/watching/listening material from your old jobs? What are you up to these days?

Has it? I've seen comments such as this for a few years now, but I didn't notice the decline myself.
On an episode of chef Anthony Bourdain a chef in China or Japan (I forget) said the western palate doesn't consider a rubber texture mouth feel appealing like Asian countries.

I don't think we're blind to the problems being created. It's more that there are no obvious solutions beyond stasis, which is no real solution as it just fixes us with today's set of problems instead of tomorrow's.

I like Maciej's talks, they're always entertaining, but at the end of them I always feel not quite satisfied. He is good at presenting well known problems in amusing ways but rarely identifies solutions beyond the hopelessly vague (like "we should all think about stuff more").

He is also utterly resistant to giving large companies any credit at all. Google and Facebook have moved the needle on strong cryptography and anti-surveillance tools more than any other groups, but in these talks they're always the bad guys because they make money through advertising instead of credit cards (which are legally linked to your real name and address: far far worse for privacy than ads).

A big part of this talk boils down to, the US Government can order American companies to undo any protections they themselves create. But this is hardly worth commenting on. It is a political problem and the only solution is for political candidates to appear that manage to appeal to large numbers of voters whilst simultaneously being strong on civil rights and shutting down surveillance systems. Neither Clinton nor Trump seem very likely to do that, but nor did any other candidates. The issue matters to people but it matters a lot less than other issues.
In Portuguese, "banheiro" uses the exact same euphemism as bathrooms.
Depends on what you mean by "typical." Do you think you could craft an average blog post to summarize the essence of something like Homer's "The Odyssey"?
Because we "should", but actually don't, know ahead of time what semantic preserving transformations are available. The entire point is to discover them.

The first point resonates with the famous quote made by Bruce Lee.

Talk to some of the senior law students at your school or the law professor. But in the end you failed to honor a contract. You need to repay in full the owner. You need to finish the project for your self health.
Next time you do contract work, make sure its all mapped out milestones etc. Make the client agree about extra scope of services work (more money for you). And have a backup plan formulated if you need third party help to meet deadlines, extra people or whatever.

I can answer this, I've used both in my shop (pictured below).

I much prefer the Japanese style saws (and I have some very nice old as well as modern, aka expensive, western saws).

I like them better because they cut on the pull stroke (I find it easier to cut accurately that way) and they have a very thin kerf (easier to cut less wood, also possible to do more delicate cuts).

Japan Woodworker (now gone) used to have Korean copies of a dozuki for about $30. The closest I've been able to find is the Lee Valley version:

http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=32936&cat=1,428...

Unfortunately, that saw is now $42. Here's a good getting started article that references the same saw back in 2007, it was $19 then. If someone finds a source for saws like that that is cheaper than Lee Valley, please post it.

I'd start there, those are fine saws. Don't get sucked into spending a boatload of money on hand crafted yadda yadda saws, these saws are delicate in comparison to western saws, you don't resharpen, you buy another one when it is time.

Everyone likes shop pictures, here are some from mine:

"It's apparently possible" as in you're the one drawing the connection the CEO didn't draw and then explicitly stated he didn't intend to draw: he did not say and did not mean to say that voting for Trump would get you fired.

The CEO never said Trump voters aren't welcome. That was the original comment that I disagreed with. It's factually incorrect to say that's what the CEO said.
Because a comment made on a public worldwide-readable forum is not private, and you know that before you sign up with an account, so it's not like you accidentally made a public comment that was meant to be private. Protecting private communication is about just that - stuff that actually is private (to begin with).

Public opinion and the law may of course change, the issue that something uttered in public, be it by voice or in writing, can be retroactively taken back and declared as "private" has only been an issue with the advent of public electronic forums.

I don't think you will find a lot of people who think enabling people to change their mind after they made a public statement is a high priority, especially since it has a negative impact on everybody else: How does a forum look like when key posts are suddenly missing? And I say "key post" because if it didn't get a lot of attention to begin with it's unlikely that the poster will regret having posted it.

The ballot is secret for precisely that reason — it's not possible to judge people based on their vote.

But making public your support for Trump — or the KKK, or NAMBLA, or Hacker News — is a completely different thing. You can and should be judged on the basis of the ideas and opinions that you promote.
For me, for a new field, I never know which is the "best" book. And whichever it is - it's not complete; there are additional nuggets to be found, maybe in the corner of a minor chapter, in many/most of them. I will read ~100 to just get a feel for the lay of the land. This is because I don't know what I don't know and certainly don't know enough to pick the best! And then go back and re-read (with more directedness) 10~20 of them, and then settle in and make 1~5 of them my touch stones for re-re-reading over time. This last bit is because I have a leaky brain, and I need to refresh it from time-to-time.
So, you're admitting some of the computer climate models WERE flawed? Glad to hear some intellectual honesty.

I suspect I don't see the world as statically as you do. If we humans pump more CO2 in the atmosphere, I assume it doesn't necessarily accrete there year-over-year. Also, I don't assume that a rise in CO2 in the atmosphere from year to year means humans are to blame since there are volcanoes and rotting vegetation all over the place. And surface temperatures are bound to fluctuate mainly because the sun is not a constant energy source from year to year.

Do I think the IPCC is real science? I'm sure there is something like science and data gathering going on there. I will note that IPCC has "government" and "climate change" in the name, which is a dead giveaway that politics are a driver in any conclusions made by the panel.

You give them the benefit of the doubt, clearly. I say, "show me reproducible experimental results or there was no science." Reproducibility in this case requires the models to be accurately predicting future trends, which, to-date they have not been. And that brings me to ...

> Why would it be a bummer that something in the "human extinction" category was taken on the "let's make sure it really doesn't happen" side instead of the "oh, those hippies are screaming since the 80s, because they took the scary predictions of some models seriously, and we're still here, so fuck them, and also fuck the 95+% of vastly more advanced and sophisticated models of today, because air quality is improving in urban centers".

Look, cussing isn't necessary. I want clean air and water. I have asthma, I know how bad pollution can be. I'm not a bad guy. I just don't appreciate being lied to and what you said there can be summed up as, "I know a lot of false claims were made on inaccurate models, but good things happened and I'm satisfied."

Here's the thing, I don't like being made to worry over unfounded claims. (And I get super grumpy when my kids are made to worry!) So, scale your message wayyyy back or you lose any credibility.

Heck, the "stop pollution" message is sufficient, and why not? There's a legit/obvious pollution problem worldwide, so you have moral superiority there. Planetary destruction is not imminent though (at least not due to man-made CO2 emissions) and you've got no leg to stand on there.
I am sorry but Obama does not mention any of that. He argues that intelligence is needed and that there is nothing you can do about it.

Anyways, I wonder why he still keeps with the story that Mr. Snowden should have contacted his superiors first before going public. We all know what would have happened in that case (i.e nothing); why does he answer like we are stupid?

The weirdest thing about AA, to me, is that it is supposed to be about not letting alcohol control your life, but then it prescribes that you devote every free waking minute to thinking about not thinking about alcohol.

I met a number of people that had just traded one addiction for another. They were AA-meeting-addicts.
If you're in public and ask for a bathroom, it's assumed that you are looking for a toilet and not looking for a bath. I have never had to ask for a place with a bath in public - if I need a bath then I'm at a house or a hotel where I can find it.

As I've gotten older I can't sleep 9 hours straight like I used to. On days where I only sleep 5-6 hours, I get up to pee and go back to bed and rest for another hour or 2. Sometimes I go back to sleep, sometimes not. But it's interesting, because the days I don't go back to sleep, I spend that hour or 2 half asleep and think about my work (HashBackup). I just let my mind wander to whatever it wants. It's sort of the same thing that happens when I have a programming problem I can't easily figure out, go take a shower or a walk outside, and the answer comes to me. This reduces stress because instead of pounding on a problem, you let your mind solve it more slowly in the background while you are focused on other things.
Let me add a tiny bit of gloom. The healthcare situation is degrading. International context and other factors (big hospitals getting old, trying to reallocate geographical duties, merge/rebalance with other hospitals) are at play. The Healthcare employees are starting to complain a bit too often for it not to be worrying.

About U.S. what saddens me is the natural reflex toward individualism and self responsibility being a better moral value than mutualized health as in France. I wish they could have a more balanced POV on things.
If you get a chance, try learning how to turn wood on a lathe. I've got a very nice shop but if I had to shrink down to one tool it would be a lathe.

Using a lathe teaches discipline. If something goes wrong, it's your fault, you should have stepped away and come back more rested. As an ADD person, learning that I have the power to stop what I'm doing and try again later was enlightening.

> Social media weakens this skill because it’s engineered to be addictive.

Absolutely. App companies like FB and Twitter are on a constant quest to eat up as much of your time as possible, in pursuit of metrics like "daily active users" (they want you there daily) and "average session time" (they want you there as long as possible).

Ultimately, they're maximizing ad revenue. An hour of your time spent feed scrolling is worth about 10 cents to Facebook.

Well, Intel has a "product management disease" - when orders for new development come from Ivy league schooled management doctrinaires, and not obvious demands of the market. All American semi companies I know suffer this, and that's why Chinese eat their lunch.
HN also has the noprocrast settings. I've set the parameters to enforce an optional habit of reading HN once a day (usually after work). It works quite well.
One of the reasons you find the elderly employed doing small jobs in places like Japan and South Korea is that there is very little social safety net. The system is setup to assume that the elderly will simply live at home with their adult children. They usually receive a very small pension of some sort and various other discounts on public services (subsidized mass transit for example).

However, if they don't find themselves in a situation where they can live at home with their children, there's very little alternative for them.
I agree that many non-fiction titles could be shorter (although probably not the length of a blog post).

I confess I am an impatient reader, and many non-fiction titles I read feel padded out with unnecessary verbiage. I do wonder if the tools we use to write have some bearing on this. When using a computer to write, the ease of editing means it's much easier to just write and write and write.

Imagine if you were forced to write your manuscript by hand. I'm guessing the length of your non-fiction manuscript would be shorter, sharper and more to the point.
