Sure, it's not necessarily one dimensional, but it also doesn't just scale in terms of total magnitude summed across all dimensions (e.g. a bit of power in 50 axes is not comparable to the same quantity of power in one axis).

The reason to care about the dynamic of the past is that people are influenced by the past - in particular, people's actions in the present are often based on things that they did or that were done to them in the past.

Specifically, here, the reason to care about the past is that, even if/when we reached a point of equilibrium, where a subset of people were no longer in a minority of power, there would still likely be X Pride events for a while after, because the feeling of needing/wanting such things would not go away overnight.
>This was partially his mess as well since he was COO before becoming CEO, no?

There's a difference in the scale of the offense (but in either case people weren't physically harmed), but contrast this with the thread about the Wells Fargo CEO stepping down, where people here thought the CEO should go to prison for the culture he set at the company.

A Brief Introduction to Operating Systems
I don't think a belief should be necessarily weighted higher because it causes offense (or not), no.

I was trying to indicate the difference between "I would never" and "no one should ever" - the former being a belief that attempts to say nothing about what other people should or should not do, where the latter certainly says something about what everyone should do.
When I was a kid, we lived in SE Asia, and multi-generational homes were the norm. Usually more of a shared farm/compound with a bunch of satellite homes clustered next to each other.

Honestly, even as an introverted kid, I liked visiting my friends in their stilt homes and hanging out with the various families. Having everyone together and able to support each other was nice.
This sounds so interesting! Can you give a brief introduction to this stuff for a person who is curious about MUDs but doesn't know where to start?

I use Django quite a bit, and would immediately disable any such tracking mechanism, even going to the extent of maintaining my own fork if necessary.

Having this on tools (like brew) is sort of OK because you can disable it and not risk having it deployed to production. Having it on a library is senseless, risky in many regards and likely to get it banned from, say, public contracts.

It is also a likely hook for exploitation, but I'll need to see an implementation first. Which I sure hope won't happen.

It helped me to clarify some stuff in my practice, but I also understand how his goal oriented approach may be detrimental for personalities that put too much effort in concentration (applies to most 'discursive' types here on HN, including me).

Will be happy to answer any questions you have if you describe me your practice and problems you're having via email (@ at my profile) - I've been practicing with several teachers / approaches and having this wider perspective is quite helpful when you reach any significant block.

I agree with the other poster that going to retreat is a great way to jumpstart the practice - often our daily life is causing of so much constant stress that we have to step out of it to even notice it. When we see it coming back in low doses, we're more likely to understand the patterns and what our personal mental antidote should look like.

The case is Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams but it doesn't really turn on constitutional issues like that from what I can tell. I suppose the reasoning is you're both equal parties and you can just turn down the employment if you don't like the provision (this argument is a ridiculous fiction since you need to work to live but whatever).

I mean honestly I think this is ideologically motivated just like the rash of decisions that have practically made it impossible to file a class action lawsuit by letting companies require their customers to use arbitration.

SuiteCRM is a good place to start. It is opensource and based on top of SugarCRM with lot more useful features. With 4 years of experience in working with SuiteCRM and SugarCRM i would really prefer SuiteCRM, even when it comes to adding custom business logic and workflow design.

It also comes with good REST API for all the modules and any custom module you create using the module builder.

The community modules are really good too and https://www.sugaroutfitters.com makes some nice paid modules which are useful too.
It's not a replacement for TeX. R originally had Sweave for weaving R and text together. Then we got Rmarkdown, which introduced the use of markdown for authoring documents via pandoc, but the output document only had simple features like headers, sub headers, emphasis and so on.

Now Yuhui from Rstudio (who's been prolific in this area) has written bookdown for authoring books with rmarkdown. It's not for authoring statistical papers (as the other comments stated - that's rmarkdown's realm) it's for books like Hadley Wickham's R4DS and Advanced R. Other examples can be found on the bookdown website.

I'd also add that, regardless of inserting R code, bookdown is a class authoring format and personally I would write a book or large document in bookdown even if it was just pure prose.
I'm finding it difficult to Google how efficiency scales with magnetic flux. I've ended up at a thirty five page pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.3540. Equation 1 on page 5 states the fourth power dependency. So using REBCO magnets, instead of Niobium-Tin, to get twice the magnetic field looks like a really big deal.

Page 6 adds a twist to the story. "For REBCO superconductors operating far below their critical temperatures, the toroidal field is generally limited by mechancical stress rather than the critical current density, which typically limits standard Nb3Sn." So further increases in magnetic field might be waiting on advances in mechanical engineering design, not on better superconductors.

Having been buying quite a lot of toys for our young children recently, it did sort of strike me that a moderately affordable 3D printer that really did Just Work, where I could go to, say, lego.com, click what I wanted a model printing of, and then it all just happened, as if by magic... would be something I'd buy. I think the combination of convenience and "Wow, that's cool" would be quite compelling, even if it didn't really work out all that much cheaper.

On the whole, though, I'm really struggling to see how these things will ever take off. (Like others, I have a paper printer which I use a handful of times a year, and it's never an experience I relish. At least printers are very cheap now, even if ink isn't.)
But you got the horizontal to consider. With a train the horizontal is reduced due the tracks.
Yep. Although I'm always surprised at how much energy humans consume. A 1200 kcal meal eaten quickly, for example an apple with 180g peanut butter (which I often consume in a few minutes or so) is the equivalent of "charging" my body at the rate of almost 21 kilowatts!

For comparison, that's the power consumption equivalent of running 40 household washing machines, a ceiling fan, a router, printer, bright LED lighting, a fridge+freezer, a large color TV, ten smartphones, a laptop, an electric heating blanket, two table fans, two smaller TVs, an electric shaver, a scanner, twenty more smartphones, three more table fans to keep them cool, two fountains or other water features, a small vacuum cleaner and a partridge [0] in a pear tree.

[0] Potts, G. R. 1986. The partridge: pesticides, predation, and conservation. (Daily food consumption of a partridge ranges from 71 kcal/day at 15C to 155 kcal/day at -15°C, which works out to be roughly 3.5-7.5 watts, or roughly the power consumed by a few smartphones.)
If it manages to increase performance even further, there could still be some benefits to it. I often use spacemacs on my Asus C100P using Crosh (via crouton).

Generally, it works great. But in some scenarios I get the occational (short) hang - and that kind of thing starts to annoy me a bit after some time.

The idea that regulation is becoming more stringent is simply not borne out by reality.

It's a useful tool for engineers, but not everybody is an engineer. It was hyped like it was a replicator from star trek. The novelty of printing little plastic figurines wears off quickly. At some point you realize that you can buy a bag of a much higher quality injection molded version of the same thing at the dollar store.

They are useful for making things that don't yet exist, but that means it must be something you come up with and model yourself. And this is where they are no longer the tool of users, only engineers.
So you're saying there's no such thing as institutional barriers and people just need to bootstrap their way out of a catch-22 style situation regarding their lack of documentation? Because that's how it works: you go to the clerk, they tell you you need a photo ID to get your birth certificate pulled (random people can't pull your birth certificate). Then you go to the Secretary of State and they tell you you need a birth certificate to prove citizenship, and to go back to the clerk and get it. At this point you then have to go try and fight it in courts and track down the doctor who birthed you to file an affadavit that you are who you say you are and were born in the country, and god help you if you have been uninsured/out of the medical system for a prolonged period of time, the doctor is dead or out of the country, etc.

I'm not sure the privileged HN crowd understands how this works for regular workers who do retail or whatever: you ask for the day off, they say "sure you can go ahead and take it off, and if you do then don't bother coming back the next day, because you'll be fired. And don't try to collect unemployment either because it'll be for-cause". We have a lot of leverage and flexibility allowed because we are skilled workers. Regular people don't have that.

Regular people can't afford to spend weeks and weeks bouncing between government offices and fighting it in courts. They just don't vote because they don't have the documentation. Which is the whole point of the voter restriction laws in the first place.

I've been toying with http://weasyprint.org and Python markdown toward similar (but as yet unrealized) effects, and quite like the idea.

It's not too hard to, say, write a Python Markdown extension to do the same using pandas, seaborn and the usual data science tools from the Python universe, but I salute the R folk for getting this done in what appears to be a quite consistent fashion.
I see what you mean and agree. Actually Culadasa has a very precise way of describing what happens in this case - sustaining attention on a single object allows peripheral awareness to be more clear (in a way that looking at the flagpole allows to see the wide patterns of clouds moving in the background).
When attention moves, on the other hand, its changing content is too prominent and it foreshadows the awareness. And it's the awareness, not the attention, that allows us to see the entirety of the mind.

> Yes, because a digital method of making payments will never take off. Paypal would like a word with you as well.

I didn't say there wouldn't be a future digital method of payment. I'm talking specifically about Bitcoin.

Slightly off topic, Paypal is due for a challenger as well. It's aging gorilla in that space.

> Think about it, it's a currency that behaves like cash virtually. You can transfer it anywhere that internet exists. Western Union would like a word here too. There's thousands of people around the world that are unbanked because of many reasons.

There's no reason that has to be Bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoin has a number of problems that make it unworkable as a "world currency".

> They wouldn't.

You specifically said, "Before everyone has one."

> Bitcoin settlement is 10 minutes. Try transferring money to another country and having it "ready to go" in 10 minutes with lower fees than Bitcoin. The business-to-business remittance market is worth Billions and that's not even counting customers.

There's no reason a better platform won't arrive that works both within the borders of a country and across it's borders. Ten minutes per confirmation is a long time. For anything more than a pack of gum you probably want more than one confirmation as well (say at least 5 or 6 for an international wire transfer). That combined with the block size issue, global DDOS vulnerability, and history of Bitcoin companies either fleecing customers or getting fleeced by hackers means it's going to be a long road.

> I never subscribed to the whole 'It's going to take over the world', because it won't. However, the technology's upside cannot be denied and you should have the tools to analyze them as a CEO, CFO or CTO.

Being blind to the downsides and limitations is arguably much worse.

> The reason for "my logic" was to point out that there is no "bad time" to throw $5 into Bitcoin.

Throwing money in a bucket because "Something good might happen" is generally a bad idea. Larger amounts of money make it a bad idea at a larger scale. Being "Only $5/week" doesn't make it a better idea, it just limits the damage. If you're writing off the $5/week as a total loss and consider this pure speculation, then sure go nuts. But I wouldn't preach this as a long term investment recommendation to anybody.

Also, early December 2013 would qualify as a particularly bad time to buy Bitcoin though dollar cost averaging would handle part of that.
