This is awesome. Although the Android app has some rough edges it gives off a very personal and connecting vibe. I think the shades of blue and green you chose feel too cold for what the platform is supposed to be, the app feels very cold initially... but then this amazing thing happened: I started to listen to the Ocean. The Ocean to me feels like something from the movie "Her" (2013): these are other peoples stories and lives I'm listening to, and that is both really odd and really cool. It feels very personal, and I think this might be exactly what many people are missing nowadays: just taking 5 minutes out of your day to empathize with others, and since it's audio only you could do that while in the car, or while working, or while cleaning your house. I haven't yet tried this with family or close friends, and I think it might feel too personal at that point. Then again, I'm not that socially capable, so that might be just me. Perhaps it takes some getting used to.

As I said before though, there are some rough edges. The written text in the app feels... unprofessional, which might not be a bad thing necessarily. I think you tried to find a light tone to connect with users, but you haven't yet succeeded in striking that light hearted balance between connecting with your users and talking with the confidence of a business. The colors look somewhat cold for what feels like a very warm app. And on the tech-side there could be some improvements, like detecting 'empty' waves: apparently people happen to accidently send out a wave without any meaningful sound whatsoever into the world, and I imagine detecting that is something that could be done automatically. By the way, sound quality is okay, but make sure you don't neglect it. This idea will only work if you forget that you're listening through a device, if it's anything like a phone call I think that might be to robotic.

Something I just thought of: how do you plan to tackle the language barrier? Is the Ocean going to consist of English-only spoken text, or are you going to tag waves with a language and filter based on what the user is using?
Should citizens have a vote in what happens in their city, or should they be ruled by corporate executives?

Also, a common and essential part of the free market is failure and bankruptcy. What happens when parts of the city go bankrupt? What happens to the citizens there? What happens to the debt?
Ugh, fixed it.

Using * * is not really an option now because it takes insane amounts of time to compute something like `123456789`.

And this is just a tiny script - `eval` shouldn't really be an issue. And yes, I know it's evil, generally. But if you think about it, Python itself is just one big eval loop :P
Sadly, I don't really think that intelligence is necessarily a hedge against bad governance or poor ethics. I certainly dislike the every man populist anti-intellectualism I see in US politics, particularly on the Republican side, but there have been plenty of politicians with very impressive academic resumes who I've been equally disappointed in.
Unfortunately the other person has to spend exactly one minute listening. Compare that to using the voice-to-text button of the keyboard (any Android phone AFAIK, probably iOS too). One minute to dictate, maybe another one to fix mistakes (maybe not) and 15 seconds to read. It is being polite to the recipient.

Luckily no friends of mine are using voice messages in 1-1 chats with me. I never listen to those messages in group chats.

I won't use a voice only or video only social network exactly for the same reason. Text and pictures are ok because they are quick to skim through.
Desire for privacy isn't evidence of nefarious intent any more than exercising your right to remain silent is evidence of guilt.
in Russia most people with low-income just can't afford new housing and live with parents or in inherited apartments after their grandparents/parents die

those apartments we not bought, but privatized after Soviet Union collapse, where people get apartments for "free" after approx. 10 years working on a factory or so...

so in new projects, which are sold for money with mortgage rates at 12% annually there's no people that have "nothing to lose", people that have "nothing to lose" are widespread, living in apartments their parents got in Soviet Union
>>So-called 'second-hand smoke' (a genius marketing term for smoke) is no more harmful than any other smoke

I've read this sentence literally a dozen times and I still don't understand how it relates to the point we made about second-hand smoke being bad - you are trying to make a point about incorrect naming, to maybe detract from the main point?. Smoke harms other people. If you smoke, you harm other people, who get in the way of your smoke. Here, is that easier to process?

It isn't really the cost I am worried about it is the fact that apart from 2 which were from a loosely related site they looked like bogus clicks i.e. some were from non-existent sites - how can that be from 10 only 2 were valid?
there is something very weird to me about calling someone a "hardcore meditator" for meditating >5 minutes. It takes me 5 minutes just to get my brain to shut up. Listening to someone else put words in my brain for five minutes isn't meditation. It's not mindfulness. It's training towards the two, but it's not a substitute for either.
I like Go because of its simple and specific way of doing things rather than just piling a whole bunch of language features. Great tooling and your runtime and app in a single binary.

Oh one more thing, no classes so no more convoluted control flows and the stupid idea of working with "objects" when all you have is data.
Awesome, thank you :)
> the use of machine readable, non-proprietary technical standards for web publishing

Wouldn't that cover PDF, even though it might be deeply inappropriate for it's content? PDF has several ISO standards, and is most definently machine readable.

PDF should also meet the goal as well:

> available to the greatest number of users and for the greatest number of applications

Huge number of PDF clients, such as PDF.js that powers Firefox's reader.

> If such standards are developed and adopted by the Treasurer, they shall be the format that each State department and agency will use to provide existing and future electronic data sets

Knowing how much government uses PDF... It is probably incoming.

But it makes little/no sense for spreadsheet data. Great for graphs and prose, however.
There were plans for that contigency. Tor would have moved to some other tld (ie .onionland). The tor browser bundle would update bookmarks and probably issue a warning for .onion addresses. Annoyance but not chaos.

Trump had several things going for him:

1. He is independently wealthy, and has no public office experience whatsoever. Thus, the normal pressures that cause every other candidate to end their campaign when sufficient controversy arises had no effect on Trump. He had no political career or general reputation to ruin, and he has fuck you money.

2. Unlike Trump, countless other presidential candidates have ended their campaigns in controversy. Thus, there was a mountain of precedence to inform the media that the each week's controversy would be the one that ended his campaign. The result was that every media organization that reported on these events racked up a 13 month streak of being wrong. Its trivial to point this out as a witch hunt after enough time, and at the same time, conflate them with fake news.

3. No matter where you come down on his tactics, its fairly noncontroversial to say that Trump is a master of negotiation. As evidenced by his continually evolving policy prescriptions, he is adept at reading his audience (supporters and detractors), and putting forward messaging that both pleases his supporters, and displeases his detractors. This has multiple positive feedback effects because the pleased take pleasure in witnessing the displeasure of the displeased. The continued pleasure of the pleased is a source of continued displeasure for the displeased as well.

4. Trump makes a lot of obvious generalizations about the world at large: The media sensationalizes, terrorism is problematic, illegal immigration creates a glut of low wage workers, America was a great nation in the past, lobbyists have largely captured congress, the middle class is shrinking, etc. It's trivially simple to control for the variable of Trump, and observe that these phenomena all persist, and have for years. However, there is a psychological element to the consistency of being "right". If you are directly affected by a shrinking middle class, and have to compete with the glut of low wage workers, and see terrorism as a spontaneous event driven completely by religion, and see our government as a corrupt body that breaks everything it touches, you are highly predisposed to attribute unique wisdom to someone who is merely pointing out conventional wisdom. If you already view someone as an expert on subjects of interest to you, you are additionally predisposed to believe in their abilities to fix all of these ailments, without qualification, previous experience, or even the agreement of a single true expert in relevant fields.

I'm a huge fan of Feynman, but the lectures gave me the impression they are not the ultimate learning resource for physics. Any other books on physics that people would recommend?
It uses a bit mask from the leftmost bit to the rightmost and prints the respective bits in x. Is that more complicated than allocating memory on the heap, storing the bits, and then printing them in reverse?

Also the code above does not contain anything C specific, with the exception of 'putchar' let's say.

I get your point, programming language communities all have a certain level of fan-boyism. However I find Swift's community to be particularly abhorrent. I stopped partcipating when people started to ask if certain codes is "Swifty" and people would judge the merit of something on whether its "Swifty". It also got tiring with how militant they were with other programming languages, especially Java.

Your parent isn't defining a hardcore meditator as anyone who meditates for longer than 5 minutes. As for the rest, I suspect your parent would largely agree with you, though guided meditation can be useful as part of mindfulness practice. Depending on your level of practice and what's going on, five minutes could be a great break or just barely enough to quiet yourself for a bit.
In Canada towns have strip clubs in the main commercial area across from banks and grocery stores. It's not an issue. The windows are blacked out and the mere aura of a strip club doesn't somehow damn children. Heck in the D.C., liquor stores are precriously close to playgrounds yet it causes no trouble. People who buy liquor have children too, and if not are still part of the community and thus tend not to do whatever it is you think those who buy legal pot will do.
@mindcrime has put a pretty extensive list and explanation.

The things is, you are probably looking for a solution that does the reconciliation of data arriving from multiple sources and formats for you and preferably exposes it over an easy to use API.

You can try http://unigraph.io, the API Sandbox (GraphQL) is available at: http://u01.unigraph.rocks and an extensive documentation covers it at: https://github.com/unigraph/docs/wiki

Currently Unigraph combines data from:

- wikidata

- geonames

- freebase

- crunchbase

- SEC EDGAR

- Companies House (UK).

A datadump is on its way and more sources will be added soon.

Disclaimer: I am building Unigraph, precisely for the reason of the question: "An open alternative to GKG".
Congrats! The bag looks great and I love the flag patch.
We're talking about copyright laws. Not about slavery, apartheid, or anything even close to it. There is no one's life at stake and there is no urgency. If you want to change copyright laws, you are free to use the democratic process and raise awareness to it in a legal way.
I had DEM names on there, but I deleted them because I didn't want to fall into the trap of false equivalencies.

> They have constituencies that they serve as well as pander to

Pandering is ok. My district has a lot of farms, so my representative panders a lot to the farmers. I don't mind that. It doesn't upset me.

It upsets me when people like Mitch McConnell willingly undermine our democracy by trying to hide information from voters. It upsets me when people like Chaffetz waste our money on partisan witch hunts... (You are free to list the sins of DEM candidates if you want. It would only further strengthen my point.)

These actions are beyond pandering. These people are not trying to serve their constituents. They are trying to serve themselves and amass power for their party.

> Those politicians may be flawed

If they are flawed, and Zuckerberg is flawed (by your reasoning), why choose one over the other? Why not give him a chance if you think what we have now is already flawed.
I'm not yunha but i'll reply and hope it helps.

Guided meditations are substitutes for traditional group practice. Distributed group practice, if you will. The goal is to think of them as training and lessons for your own excursions into non-guided practice, just like taking swim lessons or spanish lessons may help you improve your practice on your own.

And like both of those examples, the real work is in the solo practice, venturing into your own struggle with your noisy brain, instead of relying on the soothing, centering, encouraging words of others, relying on yourself and training your own abilities.

and i have so far to go myself, but even then, i can tell you, guided is just a reminder of what i'm really supposed to be working on.

Lattner is best known for starting the whole LLVM project. Swift is just a small side project in comparison, it just got adopted by Apple for some reason.

LLVM is one of the most influential pieces of software of the past decade. Hero worship isn't good but credit where credit is due.
It doesn't work so well. Sometimes I have to try every single browser on my phone or tablet and different sites. Eventually one of them triggers the captive portal detection. Sometimes I just give up.

Any Android from 4 to 7. I guess it depends on how much the portal is trying to be smart.
Not yet; too recent.
It's an app, not a charity. That back story certainly doesn't make me want to try the app.
I don't know a better solution in terms of space efficiency, but living in a high rise is so depressing. I prefer to live way out in the woods, but the benefits of what you describe sound great

Has Github stopped allowing free searching for code? All I get is "Must include at least one user, organization, or repository". I think that its a greater problem than the speed of its streams.

Well, assume that YC hires sanely and competently. How would it hire? What kinds of people?

First, someone they've had occasion to judge in depth. Alumni are that. A modest exit and the path to it may show competence, and YC is in a good spot to judge it.

Second, someone who's lived through both sunny and rainy days at a actual startup. YC participants definitely are startups, and a bad or moderate exit indicates that someone has felt difficult times.

Third, people who've just folded their startup or executed a modest exit may be on the market.

AFAICT people like Sam Altman ought to comprise a fairly large pool of attractive and suitable candidates.

Andrew Gerrand wrote a nice overview of how the go playground works: https://blog.golang.org/playground

Im pretty sure the source code is available somewhere, though usage isn't very well documented. There's periodic requests on golang-nuts about how to get your own version up and running.
Ask a local HOA for a copy of their bylaws. My idea isn't novel or weird. Wikipedia says 62 million people in the US live in a HOA. Those questions are all well-settled legally.

I'm not suggesting to remove the city; just a way of re-implementing land-use and building codes if a city doesn't handle it. Probably you'd want fire codes and limited zoning for polluting heavy manufacturing to be handled by the city no matter what; though lawsuits and insurance could cover in a pinch.

I hear you and appreciate the reply. I do agree, in that one minute of meditation is better than 0 minutes of meditation, just like 7 minute workouts are better than 0 minute workouts. So any effort to encourage folks to pause during their day, no matter what their motivation (even "hey, a new app!"), is net positive.
$20 is one month worth of broadband in some countries. Anybody can do what he wants with his money, but $2 would be a more appropriate price tag for a few hours of Internet. If you're working, $20 could be OK though because you're gaining more.

There are some web frameworks that are indevelopment. That does not mean Swift has gained any traction. Also having toyed around with one, the experience was not great.

When writing a server, I would take Go over Swift anyday. It out preforms it, uses less memory, its simpiler, oh and it uses a "tradiontal" GC.
On a related note I was expecting to see you guys using the app in the video, it would be nice to see examples of real life use of it, Im not totally sure how/if I would use it

You don't usually code for one screen since you're not generally coding for yourself alone.
IMHO unlimited line length + editor soft-wrap is the best way to deal with the problem since it automatically adjust the size to the reader's screen.

Same for tabs for indentation[1], that allows the reader to set its own indentation width depending on its own preferences.

I don't really understand why people keep using spaces + fixed line length. Old habits die hard I think.

If you rolled your own naive numerical approximation of L1 regularization, you might not have gotten exact zeros. If you use e.g. LARS or cyclical coordinate descent for the L1-regularized parameter cohort, as suited to the problem, you will get exact zeros, as prescribed by the mathematics of L1.

Approx 7 years ago I bought a cheap no-name backpack in a supermarket. I needed it for a short journey and thought that I trash it after that trip. It turned to be so good, that now I use it everyday, also during walks and cycling.

It's still in good shape, I just had have the zippers fixed. I guess fixing was more expansive than backpack. :)
