Don't worry about the bureaucratic stuff before you have your first customer. Specifically, don't set up an LLC before a customer wants to give you money. Worst case, you'll just end up with a useless entity that does nothing but eat up time and money. I've been through that twice (both with a German UG / Ltd.-style corporation and an American Inc.)
Not to mention it would eliminate the always-confusing "17th century == 1600s" thing.
This guy did it wrong. Basic failure to understand social flows. Outsider in a large group? Your first job is to find someone with some status in the inside group and befriend them. Find a girl the other girls seem to respect and make friends with her. Now you're no longer at the mercy of strangers--you have a crew. This also will calm your mamallian brain, as you'll feel your own status in the group rising. You also want to stand up for yourself from that start. That water bottle hassle? Just got alphad, as far as your brain is concerned. You have to manage your own psychology to succeed in these kinds of things.

Electronic music lowers the barrier of entry, so you get LOTS of crap, whether it's just uninspired but well intentioned, or freakishly aggressive 1000bpm avante garde nonsense.

That said, if you're a long time listener and you've never found any producers with soul, look again. Popular example: Daft Punk.
It probably makes sense in Google's own ecosystem of apps, but as an aesthetic style it seems to be intentionally bland and tasteless.
Another data mis-management of Administrators
Just a few minor nits, you are off by a bit in your calculation of the cost of the train cars. A 5800CF open-topped hopper car will hold a little more than 200 metric tons of gravel and will cost less than 50K for the car and the gravel to fill it. Now you need 600000 cars at a cost of 50K each so the cost has dropped to around 33 billion. If you were buying rail cars at this sort of quantity you can probably also get a much better deal :)

I also seriously doubt there are going to be cost factors that add one or two orders of magnitude to the price here, but it is possible. The rail itself is very cheap and land to site the project is similarly easy to find since the rail line does not actually need to go anywhere and you can run lines in parallel instead of needing a long distance.

Definitely not cheap, but pumped hydro storage is in no way "free" and there are really no places you can do pumped hydro in any large scale that are not already used for existing dams and rivers. The lack of significant environmental impact is also a win for something like ARES.
English is one of the official languages in India for historic reasons. The number of English speakers in India surpasses the population of the United Kingdom.

Fleet is great for some things - I love being able to use it to distribute systemd units. But it has a bunch of problems (doesn't scale well to really large systems, balances poorly without "help" in the case of hosts that fail and recover, has a tendency to restart things unnecessarily if it loses connection to etcd or heartbeats fail, which can happen way too easily) and CoreOS have been pretty clear they're not prioritising fixing them.

For my part I still use it for smaller clusters - it's far easier to deploy than Kubernetes, for starters - and I might very well continue using it in parallel with Kubernetes for deploying systemd units as well, but it's important to be aware of its shortcomings.

> I didn't follow when github started getting political. What happened?

They suddenly decided to be a PC/feminist stronghold, with the associated reverse-logic, claiming words like "meritocracy" were actually oppressing and not empowering, and what not.

http://readwrite.com/2014/01/24/github-meritocracy-rug/

After that stance was lost, you would every now and then read about just another piece about Github where PC politics were being inserted as Github policy.

https://hacked.com/github-promotes-reverse-racism-sexism/

It's been a gradual, but noticeable process.

You may or may not agree with the means/politics itself, but there should be no question that Github itself has been getting increasingly political recent years.

And when you do that, you are bound to alienate someone. I, like many others, would prefer Github to remain a dumb/neutral service-provider. That's what I use it for. I don't need it to throw a political platform in my face.
Big Ben to fall silent for three years for repairs
I am not sure if I subscribe to the findings of this article completely. Popular English language words have made their way into almost all Indian languages. When you are accessing the internet, unless you are reading long articles or online books, all you need is passing reading ability of some English words to get through. To say that Instagram doesn't have a Hindi equivalent of "filter" is simply missing the point - "filter" itself is called "फिल्टर" in Hindi which has the same English pronunciation and many people will get that. Also, many of my friends communicate with me in Hindi by literally using English alphabets but writing Hindi sounding words - another thing which the author fails to mention in his article.

Yeah, I remember fondly the custom servers, surfmaps, gungame (no, it's not a Call Of Duty-thing) mod, etc, etc. I miss those days, but I'm not sure I'd want to go back from other advancements we've made. Everything is much easier to get working and get into now. But the microtransactions for gameplay impacts is not an advancement I want.

We can only hope the gaming market keeps growing enough that indie developers can fill the shoes of AAA-games of yesteryear where we can have large enough playerbase and mod community and self-hosted servers.
There is sadly a fix for that, which is to lift carbon tax and relax requirements for having carbon sequestration systems - and coal would be quite cheap again.

Who says we can't solve that problem as well? We've already had a bunch of research into psychedelics and countless anecdotes about people who claim drugs like LSD completely changed their outlook on life.

The Psychology of White-Collar Criminals
SourceForge wasn't spammy from day one. I remember it back in the first year or so of its existence. It was actually really good, and an absolute revolution for the open source community as no such sites had existed prior to that. It immediately gained massive traction and was every bit as central to the open source/free software community as github is today.
I think you can defend your use of the word 'bland' here but 'tasteless'? That seems a little overblown.

We're seeing the same issue, even when testing with a fresh sandboxed Instagram app. Originally thought it'd be down to an issue with Omniauth/Devise (the Ruby gems we are using).

1) send user to authorise at Instagram:
GET https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=XXX&redi...
Instagram sends user to your redirect URL with: /?code=YYYY

2) post code to Instagram to exchange for access token:
curl -F 'client_id=XXXX' \
-F 'client_secret=ZZZ' \
-F 'grant_type=authorization_code' \
-F 'redirect_uri=http://localhost:3500' \
-F 'code=YYYY' \
https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token

3) Instagram responds with:
{"error_message": "Matching code was not found or was already used.", "code": 400, "error_type": "OAuthException"}
I tend to enjoy it, mostly because it's a good "baseline". The phrase "nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM" comes to mind.

It might not be the most beautiful, it might not be the most information-dense, it might not be something that an actual designer would want to implement everywhere, but it works consistently, and it works pretty well on all screen sizes and shapes and input types.

It's a set of guidelines to hold your hand in making something that's not terrible even if you have literally no design experience, and I think it's doing a great job in that.

But, I also really like the look of MD. The animations, the "inky" taps, the shadows, the movement. It looks nice to me, it helps give a sense of "where" parts of the app live, and it tends to be consistent enough that if I notice an app doing it, I can generally grasp the "where would I go for this" much faster than other designs.
> But here's the gripe: the software to talk to it is only available on a mobile device. ONLY.

So "talk" here means "change settings"? That's what confused me.

I'm currently building a browser-based WYSIWYG to make book covers. I've tried SVG and Canvas but it's terrible for implementing multi-line text. Trying to add kerning, tracking was almost impossible.

Not sure if anyone's heard of Readymag[0], but I'm really impressed with their editor - and it has excellent typography tools and UI.

Anyway, what I've noticed is that now many people are abandoning their own websites & blogs in favor of a centralized service such as Medium, Instagram, etc.. I remember a few years ago there were alot of fashion bloggers and now they're all on Instagram, updating daily. People have lost interest in designing, building, maintaining their own sites because it's too much work for the average person. Not to mention traffic going to the individual sites are neglible compared to social media. When posting a photo on your own site gets 10 visitors, but that same photo garners hundreds of likes on somebody else's platform, then you're going to be spending time on that platform.

I don't think it's fair to say nothing happened at all.

Aging populations, coupled with low birth rates, are causing difficult political problems. In my country (UK) pensions are the biggest government expenditure next is healthcare, which the elderly use the most. This obviously has to be paid for so you have two options, raise taxes or increase immigration. Our government chose to increase immigration and a lot of people didn't like that so the government blamed the EU, this went on for a while and brexit was the eventual response.

So the chaos is already here, war might be hyperbole but a war caused by something is not unimaginable and ageing populations would be a contributing factor.

I feel there is an increasing level of bitterness directed towards the old. The government panders to them for easy votes which takes public spending from the young and my gut feeling is having policies that cater for the old is not healthy for the long term success of of a society.

But what he implies is his belief is that learning those languages actually damages your ability to think. I'd agree that he was kidding, but I read the rest of the article (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD04xx/EW...).

He puts this statement in a list of very serious statements, most of which are actually true, claiming:

>> I also faced hostile remarks about Indian women being subservient and arranged marriages being forced on Indians for generations.

Yes. But please, don't present it like the arranged marriages has stopped.

It is quite often that young people in the bay area (of both genders) get destroyed, when they fall in love with an Indian women (or men), only to discover that the parents reject a marriage (to a non Indian). And arrange a marriage instead.
> This is why I think e.g. keyboard instruments should mirror the order of notes between the left and right hand parts. Then you can get away with learning one uniform set of finger motions, instead of two.

Funny. I’m currently learning piano and I thought the same thing. I’m considering writing a small MIDI tool to mirror the order of notes, either for half of one keyboard, or for one whole keyboard next to another.

Have you tried anything like this yet?

EDIT: Apparently it’s been done at least once before, as a physical instrument:

Perhaps you mean something different than what I'm understanding you to have said, but demanding respect seams like it was a key part of women's suffrage, the American civil rights movement, and the more recent push for marriage equality [1]. It is true that there are still plenty of people who do not respect those groups, but they currently receive vastly more respect than they would if they had not stood up for themselves.

>I argued that we need 7 days of storage for it to be invisible to the end-user

That said even with more reasonable numbers pumped hydro storage isn't going to work because the energy density is too low.

I think roughly to store 1kwh your need to raise ~3.66 t water to 100m. Not very energy dense. However 1.8 kg of stone at 1000 degC will store about 1kwh of energy. That's a lot better.

What's curious is Tom Murphy studiously ignores thermal storage.

I think immortality and living for a few million/billion/trillion years are essentially interchangeable, for all we can appreciate it - I mean, yes we'll die eventually, but nobody thinks a million years ahead. Hell, Most people don't even think 3 years ahead, from what I've seen of elections.

Risk of violent death is mainly an issue because it's not worth investing in - you're going to be die for sure before age 130 currently, why bother with the smidgen of a chance of death by comet when AGING is around? Remove aging-related death and people will put a whole lot more effort into preventing other things.

As for the human aspects:

Replacing teeth should be easy, since we can already do full implants (we just don't bother much, since most people die before their teeth fall out, if they brush/floss properly) and we'll have a long time to figure it out if we really want the normal type.

Marriage isn't forever currently, and I don't see how immortality would change that.
The DPD service was amazing, even out in the rural hinterland where it can be trickier to provide accurate delivery windows.

Even when I lived in north Donegal (very rural) I could order parts from Overclockers UK (who use DPD) and guarantee delivery in two days and with a reasonably accurate drop off time window.

I'm less bothered about when a thing will arrive next day (and I don't mind evenings), but it's the not knowing when it'll arrive. Hell I'd settle for a four hour window rather than the current state of affairs with Amazon logistics in the UK.

What also ticks me off is how around this time of year, even in the last week in November, Amazon Prime's one day delivery magically becomes two days and yet is passed off as one day delivery.

There is an alternate measure, less commonly found but certainly existing in the mainstream: Rather than how many people are below you, how few people are there above you (in a large organization).

By that measure, the senior developer on a 'special projects' team reporting directly to a CxO could be quite high status. Similarly, the US National Security Advisor only has a small staff reporting to them, but their influence on US policy is as great or greater than the Secretary of Defense and/or Secretary of State.

I've personally never actually used any of the pebble cloud based services for mine, as I never trusted them with my data. I use GadgetBridge to pair it and manage the apps and update the time, etc.

It's been somewhat limiting (GB deliberately doesn't have feature parity with the cloud services), but I definitely wouldn't call it "bricked". That said, I do think I downloaded most of my apps from Pebble's store, so without a backup of the Pebble store, you might be severely limited in your choices.

I read that toxic chemicals and all kinds of radiation even in tiny doses could cause serious diseases. Recently I even bought home radiation detector here https://ecotestgroup.com/ for measuring radiation level at my house.

I think we should do all possible to avoid all these things.
Net Neutrality legislation to me is definitely attacking the symptoms, not the problems. In my experience, in places where there is competition, net neutrality is not something you need to worry about.

Private doesn't even have to be a problem if competition is maintained. In Sweden there's a mix of public, privatized-minority-government-owned, co-op and private providers and competition is quite healthy.
