This is where I think a basic income becomes interesting. The threshold for what each person requires to decide how to allocate their waking hours when their basic expenses are paid varies. But maybe being rich isn't the point, and it's actually about reducing the risk of not working. I think we'd see more founders emerge.

OK, I just installed it on Windows. Right out of the box, it does not recognize ctrl+c. What am I supposed to think about the quality of this?

(I literally have not tried a single other thing. I made a typo on the very first command I wanted to try. I tried ctrl+c to start over, and it did not recognize it.)

EDIT

I gave it another chance. If I start a bash shell, it recognizes ctrl+c, but it does not recognize the up arrow key. Not impressed. Don't get the hype. Sorry.

Here is a short excerpt (5 minutes) of an MIT lecture video that tells you a lot about Mendel and where he came from:

https://youtu.be/D8m-ZEr9qV8?t=276

The full course is here - I cannot recommend it enough, the professor is pure gold(!): https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-biology-secret-life-...

Mendel was brilliant - but actually also a bit unlucky (or lucky?). All the traits he checked in his peas were on different chromosomes. He missed the deeper insights resulting form the confusion when inheritance of traits isn't independent, when genes were located on the same chromosome. That lead to the discovery of more mechanisms of inheritance... the random rearrangement of sections of chromosomes that takes place during meiosis.

There is no standard way. It's just a bunch of plain text files, so there are many ways to sync. AFAIK, many users use Dropbox.
Most Wikipedia "In the news" articles are war or disaster related. Not very relevant for most people, and also quite depressing if you digested it day after day. If your goal is to reduce news to prevent distraction, Wikipedia probably works against this.

Better is to just exclusively use Hacker News as your news source. Important political or disaster related news shows up on the front page of HN when it happens (big earthquakes, presidential election winnings), otherwise more localized stuff is hidden. The news that does make the front page here is mostly relevant to technology, which is what most here care about.

I read Hacker News and local town news for news. Good enough and I miss nothing important.
Hold on. I'm not debating whether Rsync.net is notable. I'm saying that you confidently made a statement about Wikipedia that appears to be false --- and you did so while condemning other commenters here for holding an opinion contrary to your own.

This doesn't necessarily take away from some of the points that the article was making about how film music is used as a status symbol or method of signaling how a film should be received, but there's a nice simple reason why "BRAAAM" is everywhere these days, particularly in a lot of big-budget, CGI-heavy franchise movies. As if often true, time is money in this business; if you're a composer who is brought in to score these films you likely have a shorter-than-average amount of time to do it in and you're well aware that you're not being paid to make art. In other words, there's an enormous amount of pressure to just crank it out quickly. This is how you get scores that sound so generic, and are in fact, the equivalent of aural wallpaper. Studios don't expect anything more and even if they did, composers probably don't have time to write that kind of music. Better to crank out some generic filler and thrown in a few surface-level effects (e.g. "BRAAAM") stolen from better, more interesting scores.
FWIW, if you get linked to a github release page then click on the project name at the top and you will get the main repository view with a short description (above the file list) and the full README below that.

Concerning Chernobyl, maybe humans societies adopt a new threshold against thyroid type cancers, but it's still not considered safe for humans.

Hiroshima is not the reference for later generation nuclear bombs, which were magnitudes above them by payload and blast energy and different in isotopes emissioned. Bikini Atoll is still uninhabited as it deemed unsafe even though the population was originally re-relocated.

Problems might also arise from incomplete reactions which might happen with cheaper, less sophisticated bombs or intentionally with dirty bomb types meant for scorched earth tactics or to maximize economic impact due to radiation related sicknesses.

I agree, the next missing bit is runtime structural typing (not optional of course) that allows constructs like:

```

const whatIsFoo = match (foo) {

case : nil : "nothing, really"

case : string : "it's a string"

case : number | boolean : "it's bool or number"

case [ head, ...tail ] : string[] : `it's array of strings with head ${head} and tail ${tail.join(', ')}`

case { value } : { type: 'NodeFoo' } : `it's Node Foo with value ${value}`

default: "well, something else."

}

```
I believe the @breakingnews Twitter account existed well before the app. I imagine NBC News committed to the brand based on its Twitter following before it evolved into an app.

I don't see why editorial responsibilites couldn't be a little more decentralized to lower costs. Give a number of editors Breaking News-level access in their CMS and check a box when a story fits the criteria. But NBC isn't in it for the public good. The app probably simply didn't generate enough revenue to justify the costs.
Thanks, you're right. But, it is also a good thing for the people to get used to different ways of explaining things. Not everything you can find online is explained the best way.

The only thing I did was to add the missing pieces here and there, to round the story. To have them understand what needs to be learned, what do they have to know, in order to be confident tomorrow.
As an avid vim user who has tried Evil mode, emacs, and even spacemacs, I fully agree with all of the reasons you listed. To add to it:

- *-mode (specific syntax highlighting, commands, etc. based on project or task)

- edit/save remote files via built-in TRAMP [0]

- built-in plugin manager (interactive, or via emacs init config)

- MELPA [1]

- Non-blocking (e.g., run tests in one buffer while editing source in another)

- client-server approach (neovim adopted this, but emacs has had far more time to work out the kinks)

The main reasons I stay with vim are:

- already committed to vi-like muscle memory (and evil-mode, while admirable, doesn't cut it)

- no translation of VimL configs and plugins to Emacs Lisp

- many plugins for languages, frameworks, etc. which I use daily are severely out of date in emacs (and I'm too lazy to maintain them myself)

I've been very surprised so far by how little memory and how performant this terminal is even though it's written in JavaScript and runs on electron. All the other electron apps I know of are kind of known to be performance hogs (atom, slack). So it's refreshing to see something neat like this that also works well.

People value potential losses more than potential gains. Loosing $10 will affect you more intensely than finding it (or at least you judge it to be before the fact).

So when something is on, there is a "loss" in missing it. When it's on Netflix, there is only a "gain".
A model that we understand seems more useful than one that we don't. If the hedge fund is saying "buy company X but not company Y because company Y leases its equipment and that will cost them in the long term" (say), that's notionally more valuable than "buy company X because the computer says so", because other companies can learn the lesson of this and not lease their equipment.

In practice given that hedge funds tend to be secretive anyway maybe it makes very little difference.
It really depends how you define "work". Remember 4HWW?

This happens to me all the time.

For example, I absolutely loved the Dunkirk's trailer the first time I watched it. Until someone pointed out an actor in the Dunkirk trailer (bottom right side, second guy to look up) who appears to be holding back laughing. Once you're taking out of the films emotional experience it's hard to get back into it. https://youtu.be/rJePvN_4T_E?t=38s

Same with the time I was a kid watching Jurassic Park and noticed the cow they fed the T-Rex looked had a stuffed-animal looking toy eye clearly visible during a close-up. It seemed less scary.

There's a lot of this type of stuff in movies that can really take you out of it. When I hear directors like Stanley Kubrick or Riddley Scott spending 10 hours getting a single shot perfect in Blade Runner I can understand why. The details really do matter.

Reusing this sound effect is just lazy IMO. Just like the jump scare sound effect in all hollywood horror films. It might be pointless to hope for more care to be taken in big productions but I'm still saddened that prioritizing safe easy bets like an obviously reused prominent sound effect is seemingly becoming common practice.

Regardless the best option might be to either stop paying such close attention as ignorance is bliss and/or stop reading reddit comment!

Unless there's specific reasons (like credit card extended warranty), it's probably best to avoid those chains like iStudio. Third party support via AppleCare has been great though.

Yes, opposite Paragon.
If you watched Tony Zhou's recent "Every Frame a Painting" episode about why the Marvel movies all have such unmemorable soundtracks (where he blames temp scores), you should also watch the response by Dan Golding where he claims Zhou has misidentified the real culprit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcXsH88XlKM

Carefully avoiding saying whether it's good or bad, Golding (like this article) says Hans Zimmer is almost solely responsible for why films and trailers sound the way they do right now. Whether or not you like it, and see Zimmer as a musical villain or not, it's kind of interesting that we're living in the middle of a one-man revolution in a particular artistic field.
I have had problems in back pain, and it's always been triggered by the back being in a bad position for an extended amount of time. Once the pain starts, it makes the muscles tense up, which only makes the pain worse.. It can be hard to get out of that loop. I bet your back pain had some physical origin too, but your state of mind helped keep your muscles relaxed, and let your back recover quickly rather than slowly.
The "Transformers sound" is distinct and unmistakable; I hear it only in relation to Transformers themselves, and only rarely in the films. It may even be a trademark of Hasbro.

Where's the fun in that? ;) No, but really - I apologize for claiming there wasn't enough general LISP enthusiasm around when you were at college to affect you, and for not actually looking into the history of JS before making statements about how/why it happened.

JS design being partly a pre-made business decision - that's something I really should have known by now.
As much as I love this project, the commit messages and release notes are terrible for figuring out what's been fixed. Actually the only way I was able to track bugs was by watching the repo and seeing everything or checking in on an issue every so often. For releases they've streamlined it but I still have to dive into the code between releases to find fixes and reverts.

I've switched back to iterm2 due to these two issues which can easily be fixed by the maintainer(s)
1. Hyperpower plugin. power mode on, sync with my techno songs.
2. More disk space.
3. Can open facebook via terminal.

I don't want to give it up either, but I don't want to put it on Android.

I tried carrying it around on my Yubikey, but I those do not support 4096 and NFC. I really hope the bring out a version of this that support.

So for now, I just not using it on Android.

You and pessimizer have just demonstrated pretty clearly why Techcrunch's language choices are bad.

Pessimizer thinks the article is discussing inaccurate conclusions and that race realism is wrong ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13158797 ). You think race realism is accurate but we should ignore it. You both read the same article but drew totally different conclusions due to it's imprecise language.

Many examples in the article don't fit your description of the problem at all (e.g. difficulties in image processing, Tay the trolled chatbot, filter bubbles), so I don't think you are correctly describing what the article means by "bias" either. I can't figure it out either; the best I can come up with is "AI-related things that make the author have negative feelings".

I didn't argue in favor of or against your mysterious "vernacular-discrimination" - how could I when I don't even know what it is? The only thing that I argued is that the imprecise language used by Techcrunch is confusing people and that this is bad.
Because of the way Google prefers Wikipedia articles over other sources in its SERPs, this would ultimately have the effect of turning Wikipedia into a UGC version of AOL: it would be overrun with crud (because the Internet incentivizes Wikipedia articles), and the project would have to expend significant effort at retraining the Internet to look for "verified" stickers on the things that actually were encyclopedia articles. For what benefit?

Wikipedia's response to this problem is the right one: there's a whole big wide Internet out there, and if Wikipedia isn't the appropriate place for your article, surely there are many other places that are. UGC sites are falling over themselves to get people to write on them. Why force them on the one Internet project that doesn't want them?

My theory is that profit destroys many news channels from the inside out.

The channel start with the best intentions of conveying legitimate unbiased news to inquisitive educated audiences... but eventually the supply of news seekers gets depleted, while investors and advertisers demand more. The channel is "forced" to keep expanding so they start catering to people that don't seek out news... steadily devolving into click-bait infotainment articles.

Low-brow content alienates the original news seekers, and they leave for cleaner sources of information... but by now the channel's legitimate reputation is lost. They must double down on the infotainment market to keep turning a profit.

Eventually that gets saturated too, so the channel abandons their original (expensive) legitimate news reporting and continue chasing low-brow audiences, competing against all the other devolved spam-news sites. If their name held enough trust, they might chase profitable corporate/political puff-pieces ("fake news" aka lies).

It feels like an awful game-theory scenario.
"I am surprised that for all of the online ordering we do in today's society, so many people use bricks-and-mortar stores for their high-tech purchases."

Many tech products, like laptops, are quite personal. You're going to be staring at this thing for several hours a day, almost every day. It makes sense that most people would want to see it in person and try it out. And, at least regarding the Apple Store (and presumably the Microsoft store; I haven't checked), it's not cheaper to buy online than it is in the store.

"In my experience, the Surface Book trackpad is as good as any Mac trackpad. I'd say both trackpads are about 80%, if a good mouse is 100%."

I cannot agree, but I have a feeling that this is one of those things like Pepsi vs Coke: There's no objective measurement, so no one can say they're right or wrong.
> I found it a pointless exercise in hedonism and a testosterone-fueled car chase filled with gore and nudity for their own sake.

Ironic, since pre-Road Mad Max can only be described as a criticism of consumerism & car culture. After the apocalypse caused by oil wars, the world is littered with cars, they're the only technology anyone understands, so basically everything is hacked together w/ car parts. Everyone is still fighting over oil and acting like macho idiots whose identities' are closely linked with driving to point of being a cult.

TBQH in this context making it about water and not oil doesn't make a lot of sense, but I understand why they would try to update it this way to make it more topical.

I was set on getting a new 15" MBP to replace my late 2013 model, and I put aside just over $2k for one. Sadly, after prices came out, I would have been spending $3k minimum after taxes for what I wanted. I looked into buying a used 2014 or 2015 instead.

When I looked into the actual spec difference, the biggest upgrade for me would have been going from 8GB to 16GB of RAM, since the integrated GPU (Iris Pro) is the same, and the CPU performance upgrade is minimal. The idea of spending $1100ish on a used MBP and then having to sell my current laptop (probably spending $500-600 total) just to upgrade my RAM was so offputting, so I held off.

I ended up building a mini-ITX hackintosh instead. It turned out great -- the new UEFI method is so much better than the old way, since you can update with no risk of breaking your drivers, and upgrade without a full reinstall. I also just found out we're all getting loaded 2016 15" MBPs at work, so I'm glad I didn't go through with either of my first two considerations.

Not sure if "that the uptake is going to be very, very low" is very true, since the project has over 11000 stars on Github and I've seen people in the wild using it. But I'm a web developer, so...

Also, I found it easy to figure out what it was. Github description has " A terminal built on web technologies", website says "JS/HTML/CSS Terminal" and the readme mentions "HTML/JS/CSS Terminal" again. Sure, would be nice of a description of what the basic features and such there is, but probably not needed for their target developers, web developers who want to be able to modify their terminal.

Btw, I don't use Hyper myself, just felt that parent comment was a bit off.
