Just to be clear, this isn't an seo play.. this is a 'build a side business' play..

And no, you're right, you don't 'just' buy the domain. I'm sorta suggesting that the domain be the inspiration for the business you create.. Maybe I shoulda said 'Start with a Great Domain name'..

Your grit and hustle will determine the success of your business, not a domain. If you have a great name, though, success is a little more in reach, I feel..
"Most mainstream Judaeo-Christian postulates the immortality of the soul. But it seems to come up against mainstream history and science."

Does it? Science does not answer questions that defy empirical inquiry.

I have been told that we are spirits first and that we are having a temporary in-body experience. We don't currently remember our time before because this period of our eternal existence is a special test. It's a time of development and preparation. After death we will resume our real lives and eventually get our bodies back, permanently, thanks to Jesus Christ.

My whole life I've been considering ways to either prove or disprove that narrative, but it turns out to be strictly unfalsifiable thanks to the part about forgetting our previous experiences. Does that mean the narrative is false? Certainly not. Does that mean it's true? Again, certainly not.

Should I discard that narrative because it's unfalsifiable? Well, I can't prove empirically that my mother loves me, but I hold on to that belief anyway because I think it's right.

It's wrong to burden science with every important question. When we torture science into answering unfalsifiable questions, we change its definition and confuse everyone. I love that the domain of science is constantly expanding and more questions are becoming empirically answerable every day, but we need to maintain our humility and recognize that science still has little to say about the basic questions of our existence.

I wholeheartedly agree that if this life is all there is, there's something seriously wrong. My wife, my children, my parents, my family, and my friends deserve more than just this. I see evidence of their infinite potential. What can I do to help them reach their true, immortal potential?

I don't think I'm the first person to recognize the infinite potential of others. I think more intelligent people figured this stuff out long before I did. I think some of those smart people decided to do something about all the wasted potential in the universe. I think we are all beneficiaries of those smart people and that life isn't anywhere near as bleak as it seems.

If not, someone somewhere is eventually going to be in the right place at the right time and they will set things in motion so that future people will have eternal lives. They will probably decide that eternal beings should have extraordinary experiences such as 100 year long blind tests in planet-sized classrooms. Oh wait. :-)

Anyway, forgive my ramble. Life is extraordinary and hard to pin down.

Why bother with decentralization when you can just put it on a Tor hidden service and get complete anonymity and protection? Only problem is your users need to pay with Bitcoin, but criminals are becoming increasingly used to that, and only the pimps pay, not the johns.

PSA: This "news" comes courtesy of a company called Net Applications, which I've never heard of before. Looks like they're a web analytics firm. So take this with a huge grain of salt, because they can't actually see real user share, all they can see is the share of people who browse to their clients' sites.
>It seems like we're in a world where most people could be quite happy with doing most things on a phone or tablet.

We're not those people, though, and we do care.

>That's not to say it isn't likely an important strategic market (after all it's the only platform you can develop iOS apps on). But having a large share of this market might not be important.

As long as people also have jobs, it will be.
For math/stats&probability in the specific problem domain of autonomous vehicles (of which self-driving cars are a subset) I'd recommend no other than Sebastian Thrun's Udacity course "Artificial Intelligence for Robotics" [https://www.udacity.com/course/artificial-intelligence-for-r...]. The content is practical, and Thrun, in my opinion, is great at breaking down complicated topics (e.g. Kalman filters) into simpler sub-components and explaining the intuition behind them. You'll get a heavy dose of math/stats&probability in the context of autonomous robots (and in certain cases, Thrun contextualizes to his work in the DARPA grand challenges while at Stanford, which laid the groundwork for his work at Google on the self driving car project [now Waymo]). I can't speak to how much the "traditional" localization, mapping, and planning techniques taught in the course crossover to deep learning approaches, but you'll no doubt get the math/stats&probability knowledge you're looking for, in the context of self-driving cars.
I think they removed it because the battery life of the new MBPs has been getting a lot of negative attention, deserved or not, and in general people don't seem to be capable of understanding why the estimate would change for different workloads. Maybe the best PR move was just to remove it altogether. I wish they hadn't.

It's not the same machine, but I routinely get > 10 hours on my 2016 12" Macbook with a workflow that includes moderate to heavy browsing in Opera, coding in Tmux/Vim, and various compilers and interpreters invoked periodically. Have you had a look in Activity Monitor to see where all your power is going?

I'm using two non-Apple apps as the core of my workflow (Opera and Alacritty for terminal: https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty) but my battery life is still excellent. However, I chose them carefully on the basis of their efficiency. Things written in Javascript seem to be real resource hogs (Atom comes to mind), and Chrome is notorious for inefficiency in memory, at least.
One thing that Windows (somewhat famously) gets is "developers! developers! developers!"

Apple has a passionate, loyal developer community. Developers who create iOS apps use OS X machines to do it. They spend almost twice as much on an OS X machine (vs. a Windows machine) to get over the barrier to entry.

Apple has never made anywhere close to the same investment in their developers that their developers have made in Apple. Their mindset can be summarized as (I think):

1. iOS and OS X are "easy to develop on" (so Apple thinks) so WWDC is sufficient as far as developer relations. Lately even WWDC is an empty shell.

2. Huge software failures don't seem to touch Apple's revenue stream (e.g. Maps, iCloud, security exploits), which over time makes Apple more and more deaf to the realities of software outside their company.

3. Apple execs are "courageous" and visionary. The company has a very top-down culture.
I agree with your sentiments. When reading about messaging and mobile platform lock-in, one theme that resurfaces is the "stickiness" of iMessage. It blows my mind that Google has yet to throw their entire weight behind a single messaging platform. Even just copying Apple's implementation would be major win for Google's ecosystem.

Maybe something more along the lines of net worth?
Ah, I see. I don't think I necessarily agree with that definition of faith. For two reasons:

1. I don't think it serves much purpose if it's directly synonymous with trust.

2. Such a definition of faith runs directly against the definition of agnosticism, which asserts that such knowledge is unattainable.

I think the word faith brings to the table much of the denotation of trust, but with the connotation of doing it despite not knowing. After all, there are many husbands who find their wife cheating. There are many soldiers that end up dead, despite the best general's most careful planning. There's a level of the unknowable in all these scenarios, and faith is the continuation of belief in the face of these unknowns.

Or, put this way: The saying is that "trust is something earned". It's earned through proof of intention via past experience. I think faith removes this "earning" step -- it's trust without necessarily being earned.

I said two separate things:

a) That Safari's performance hadn't been tuned for when caching was disabled.

b) That, in general, it's more realistic to test a mixed cached/uncached workload.

> I wonder if it's occurred to you how many people suffer from medical conditions because they're either untreated or treated poorly because we don't bother studying and reporting on things like this, specifically and exactly because there's a hundred people just waiting in the wings to call you a racist for studying it?

How will that solve for people of mixed heritage? Grandkids of mixed ancestry may look "white" (redheaded whitey here, with great-grandparents that are very obviously native american) and still have genetic predispositions passed down.

The solution is not to clump by skin color. But to assess individuals specifically for certain markers.

Please take your strawman elsewhere.

Weird, I've never heard anyone describe the smell of weed as stinky. It's strong and distinct, sure, but not bad smelling.

Anyway, you have it backwards. Because the coffeeshops are getting overcrowded people are basically forced to smoke outside instead, which is obviously way more smelly than people smoking inside coffeeshops (which can be odorless outside if done properly).
Because the UI is single threaded, I think. i.e. the actual drawing of a button press or menu call up.

In CO the local credit unions that are in state only are the banks for pot shops and that is where the (federally) illegal money sits. You know, just like any other business really. Yeah they are restricted to certain credit unions, but those guys are head over heels for the very lucrative business accounts. So the pot shops are excluded from inter-state banking, but they are not excluded from all banking.

I'm very much of a freedom loving libertarian but this comment comes across as incredibly foolish to me. One should have the freedom to choose self driving car or not. Personally, I can't wait to have one.
> Yeah, I think I need to get away from the term 'access system' everyone I've asked didn't get it and I think that was the main part of the confusion.

Have you looks through condo/apartment amenity listings and figured out what words they're using to describe these systems? I imagine people would probably pick up on and use those names?

I just call it a "buzzer" and explain to friends "enter the code or find me in the directory and it'll call me"
This is a pretty attractive proposition. The long, slow decline during your last decade of life is miserable, on both you and on loved ones.

There are certain strategic times in life where you'd want to take this, though. Ideally after the kids are grown up and don't need you anymore (so you either drop dead painlessly & predictably, or get a nice long life in great health so you can see the grandchildren grow up), or if that's cheating, in childhood or right after college so you haven't invested much into your life yet. Same reason they sell life insurance.
The responsible thing to do with be to legalize and regulate prostitution for the safety of the sex workers. That would be responsible thing to do. To bring what's going to happen anyway under control so you can properly police for minors, rather than worry about people who choose to sell themselves.
> A random seed for a fixed known function only gives you a few bits of randomness.

SipHash is a family of functions (a PRF), and requires a user-supplied 128-bit random key to select a function in the PRF. Can you explain why you believe this "only gives you a few bits of randomness"? Why would it not give you 128 bits of randomness?

The kernel implementation here says that you're supposed to use get_random_bytes on a siphash_key_t (see the article posted), which gives you 128 bits of high-quality randomness.
They THINK there's a difference. That's the big con of "sugar babies". They watched 50 shades of gray and think it's romantic and edgy. They're conning themselves into thinking they aren't prostitutes when they absolutely are.

Not making a moral judgment here, I feel consensual paid sex should be legal. But call a rose a rose.
Looks like the TL;DR conclusion is that "race" is not just a social construct, but actually has genetic markers which are expressed beyond ethnic heritage.

That's not how I read it. My takeaway was that "race" is a social construct that can leave epigenetic markers. In other words, culture can affect physiology.

In other words harder sciences are proving that social sciences obsession with identity politics has hindered medical advancements once again.

I would agree that many in the social sciences create epistemological problems for ideological reasons.
You're already thinking two steps ahead. This would mean sharing SDV. I don't know if people still want to own cars or not.

ps: a stream of e-SDV, possibly solar recharged would not be a sad thing for humanity.

In the context of YC, here's what pg thinks about domain names:

"If you have a US startup called X and you don’t have x.com, you should probably change your name.

The reason is not just that people can't find you. For companies with mobile apps, especially, having the right domain name is not as critical as it used to be for getting users. The problem with not having the .com of your name is that it signals weakness. Unless you're so big that your reputation precedes you, a marginal domain suggests you're a marginal company. Whereas (as Stripe shows) having x.com signals strength even if it has no relation to what you do."

"There's no mention of that in the DSM or the ICD."

Maybe not in those words, but the DSM does appear to distinguish between a depressive episode and e.g. bereavement: http://www.mental-health-today.com/dep/dsm.htm (I don't think this is the actual text, but it's the best I can find without a copy of the DSM-IV-TR on hand).

IANAPsychologist, but as an ordinary person, the article's distinction between sadness and depression seems reasonable and intuitive enough for a layperson to understand, and that's a step in the right direction in a world where laypeople (including people who might very well themselves have depression) rarely understand anything about the actual nature of depression.
> I’m talking about viewing domain names as an asset

Another way to read this, which the author indirectly touches on in his listing of expired domain auction results, is the $$$ value of the domain itself.

It's kind of insurance for the situation where your side project/business either fails to materialize or goes nowhere. A solid domain should at least retain its value so you can view the perceived authority/trust as free (or a dividend) on the initial investment in the domain.

This is the basis I've been using for some of the prospective side-projects I've been mulling. I've been buying some decent domains as investments both in the domains themselves and the value they would bring to my projects.

Here's a specific example:

I've got a few ideas related to energy, eg. a system that'll let IoT devices/smart appliances/software base decisions on the cost and environmental impact of the energy required for an application. So I bought http://energy.io as the eventual home for this. It carries the authority/trust that the author describes, at least as a developer-focused business, and in the worst case I'm sure I can resell it for an amount comparable to what I paid.
Based on Amazon reviews recommending this book to a beginner is like recommending rudin to a high school junior that wants to learn calculus for the first time. Is there a better book?
Slight sidetrack: there's no TDP there either.

We know that i7 in this case refers to the laptop class processor because of the article. If taken out of context, then this information is even more useless.

Even at the same generation, a laptop class i7 is roughly on par with a desktop class i3.
Swift seems to be locked to Apple's yearly release schedule, so we should see prerelease versions of Swift 4 this summer, followed by a public 4.0 release around September.
If someone were on Hacker News trying to insist that they had violated the laws of thermodynamics or invented a perpetual motion machine, I would not be called upon to prove those laws. Race is a crank theory. It is a most pernicious crank theory because it is tied with some of the greatest brutality the world has ever seen.

You have the Internet. Go use it. It is preposterous to give racists the benefit of the doubt and put the burden on us to bring up the same arguments over and over again to refute them.
to me it's more that everybody is born with a certain set of multipliers, say the "average" human has 1.0 everywhere, to reach competency level X you need Y * 1,000 hours.

You can be born super lucky to get, say, a 100 multiplier in playing the oboe, you will be considered "gifted" and you will rush past your peers, however all you have is a multiplier, if you put in 100 hours and somebody with a 1 multiplier puts in 20,000 they will become better than you despite your "gifts". But if somebody that has a 100 multiplier puts in 20,000 hours then they will reach levels that you could never ever reach due not having enough time in your life to do so.

On the other hand, unfortunately there are plenty of cases where you might get a 0.1, 0.01 or even 0.001 multiplier, and in those cases you can work hard as much as you want, but you will never ever become more than competent at whatever this is even after a lifelong pursuit. I am pretty sure for example I have a 0.01 multiplier at painting unfortunately.

In the end one always needs hard work, but there should be the understanding that due to how you are born, your hard work might not ever give you the level of performance you would like to have, and that's nobody's fault. This is also why the people that excel at something and go "it was all about hard work, you can do this too if you try really hard" do a great disservice to everybody else.

If you "try really hard" you cannot become an astronaut unless you are genetically lucky and have all the required physical attributes, same deal about becoming a world class anything.

It does feel like the only way not to get depressed is to tape/record yourself regularly at anything you do, always save some of your learning efforts (paintings, musical performances, woodworking things, ...)

I personally am lifelong learning playing the pipe organ, and midi record every single practice I do: when I feel bad about a perceived lack of progress, I play some midi files of six months ago or whenever and I am instantly reminded that yes, I am progressing slowly but I am progressing quite a bit. The only thing I personally have issues with is that no matter how well I learn a piece I will always make at least a couple of mistakes when playing it, I wish I could get a piece perfect but it seems that whatever my multiplier is for "perfection" it is a lot lower than the multiplier for "good enough"
if culture impacts DNA then the concept of DNA being subject to mutation as the primary driving factor is at last beginning to crumble.

Also if culture impacts genetics then the idea there are races is clearly not the case, but rather loosely organized behavioral groups that can change in whatever direction their common culture takes them next.

All of the conclusions being drawn about the implications of this for your hobby-grudges about politics are beyond inane
ABI stability doesn't really matter for users, unless you're using 3rd party pre-compiled libraries. It's mainly an issue for Apple, shipping system libraries.
I think what the GP is saying is to do the re-parsing before/after every time you reformat (and then presumably error exit if the ASTs don't match). When/if you no longer have any known bugs like that you might want to remove it, but it does seem like a good idea until you get there.
