Thanks for the question!

What sets Simple Habit apart is that

1) we are a multiple teacher platform instead of just one teacher. We bring top meditation and mindfulness teachers from all over the world and put them on one platform.

2) We focus on 5 minute meditations designed for busy people.

3) Our meditations are designed for different situations and moods so you can find meditations for just about any use cases. For instance, my favorites are meditation for before public speaking, before an important meeting, for going to bed.

We’re a freemium model and we have a LOT of free meditations available. You can find several months worth of free content so try them out first. If you like them and want to access to our premium meditations, then you can subscribe. We have three different pricing options: $11.99 a month, $99.99 a year, $299.99 for lifetime.
If it was hosted, and you could point it at a GitHub repo, I'd use it.

Otherwise I'd rather use whatever IDE JetBrains has for it. It might not have the exact same capabilities (or maybe it does, I didn't look closely enough) but why use another tool and context if the current one is good enough.

I've always heard it being called a "buzzer" (unless I'm misunderstanding the service).

I also think the hook should be short, followed by a bullet-point of features.

Knock.ninja handles your building buzzer for you.

* Works for any building with a phone-based lobby buzzer.

* Manages automatic-unlock codes.

* Starts the coffee machine as soon as your guests buzz up.

Not yet. They launched 40G a while ago, but some issues have kept them from the same kind of dominance they had with 10G.

25G is supposedly coming soon-ish, but 100G is still 1-2 years away. It's going to be hard to compete with vendors who shipped their first products in 2015/2016.

Meanwhile they have a 100G OmniPath adapter, but who cares?
I have clearly done none of what you accuse me of. I have never said, or even implied, that Russia is an innocent party. Nor have I suggested that US blunders excuse Russian war crimes.

I consider Russia to be an oppressive, dysfunctional, dictatorial regime. It's citizens are drinking themselves to death with depression.

I am more critical of US policies for the same reason George Orwell focused his writing to be critical of the left; obvious fascism is obvious. You are probably already aware of it so there is little point in me reminding you. Perhaps I could have done a better job in letting you know that I know about Russia and Syrias shortcomings. I assumed that would have been self evident.

I'm an America loving American and consider my belief system to be a mix of Noam Chompsky, Christopher Hitchens, Ron Paul, Bertrand Russell, and Nigel Farage... which is eclectic to say the least

For the amount of money he's spending on auctioned domains, wouldn't it make more sense to find a 'related' (eg. backyardziplines.com vs ziplines.com) name and do exactly the same thing (set up a site, contact a partner, etc) and spend the thousands of dollars on advertising?

Maybe it's just me, but google doesn't really put that much stock in the url itself, does it? A non-scammy site and some good lead ins will put you high in the search results regardless, no?

I'm personally not a fan on alignment because of its impact on the project's commit history and diffs. Not saying it's not nice to look at, I just prefer not changing many unrelated lines because a new variable name is one character longer than the names that surround it.

I've certainly hit situations in the past where the Lua stack became too large, and caused all kinds of problems in debugging.

But despite that I think coroutines have their place, and this was a nice example that I found when I was looking for inspiration.

(I've been working on a Lua-scripted mail client for the past couple of years, and I'm starting to think more seriously about async-behaviour.)
What does it mean for "race" to be a "biological reality"? Interpopulation diversity of both phenotype and genotype isn't remarkably different from intrapopulation diversity. There are no genetic markers that taken together say "this person is black" or "this person is white". The concept of race was never grounded in real science and its proponents constantly change their justifications after the fact. At one point the "biological reality" of race was said to be rooted in phrenology.

Race is not just a word for different breeding populations of humans. The dilution of its meaning into something so innocuous is ahistorical, in fact it contradicts what was claimed to be the reality of race just decades ago. It's a political concept first and foremost.

No biological theory predicts races. Races are categories rooted in historical economic exploitation and domination that are a posteriori fitted with whatever truthy pseudoscientific justification is catchy at the time. Any categories of humans that biological measurements would come up with would hardly match racial categories. Perhaps the most racialized group that has distinct biological markers are Ashkenazi jews. However, the relation between Ashkenazi jews, Sephardic jews, and ethnic Arabs is very strong.

Quite possibly no parking spot locations. A self-driving car service would drop off one passenger and then immediately move to pick up the next passenger. I suppose there'd still be parking lots to handle shifts in aggregate demand over the day, but they'd be well outside the city, in some barren desert land or garage.
Disabling the cache is the way to test battery life.

And yes, they disable the cache in every browser and in every PC.

And if you read the Apple answer, the problem was a bug in Safari so no, others browsers are not affected
I didn't see that coming, very disappointing news. Definitely a loss for Apple and Swift. I really hope he will somehow stay involved with the project.
Wouldn't people still have to get to work during rush hours? I contend that it would be a smoother experience, but would it really be significantly less cars?
Oh, I could have been far more abrasive.

You're right, most people probably browse fewer than 25 sites.
I recommend Coursera's Coding the Matrix (linear algebra and a bit more) http://codingthematrix.com/ and https://cs.brown.edu/video/channels/coding-matrix-fall-2014/

And edX's Intro to Probability (MIT 6.041x) https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-probability-science-... BTW, this course starts again on Jan 17.

I don't know any good MOOC statistics courses. Most that I've seen have oversimplified the concepts into recipes.
Why? It's just another way of saying "I realise fully that this is not a popular opinion amongst most users of this website"
last time i checked there was still a street next to the Dam with ten or so of these operations. They're not going away anytime soon.
But you have to realise pot stinks immensely. it is no fun to have a street smell of weed. So some restrictions in the center of Amsterdam are in order, else the inner city will be clouded in pot-smog.
JavaScript has automatic semicolon insertion (ASI).

This will add semicolons all over your code depending on some rules, for example, if you write a return, and write the value you want to return in the next line, it adds a semicolon after the return AND after the value, effectively ignoring the value in the end.

return
myValue;

becomes

return;
myValue;

It's a bit meh, because you have to remember these rules even if you use semicolons.
What are good online sources for a beginner to learn calculus, linear algebra and stats/probability needed for machine learning?

I don't want courses that teach math by coding but actual math courses. A lot of these online ML courses treat math as a black box so you never fully understand what's going on & a lot of math based ML courses are too advanced.

So I'd rather focus on understanding the math basics before diving into ML. So what do you guys recommend?
Limited Alcohol usage (not abuse) has actually very little permanent effects on health. Alcohol abuse of course has very damaging known effects.
Cigarettes mainly affect lungs and pancreas. The increased risk of cancer is reduced to that of a never smoker after 20years.

I am sure cigarettes would not pass legalization laws if they were "invented" right now. They are legal for historical reasons and many countries are actively trying to fight them by increased taxation, advertising rules etc. So basically, we are creating a new product we will have to fight in the future once we measure how dangerous it is.

We are playing a game of "let's fight back thats dangerous product we legalized 150 years ago when we did not know the adverse effects of it." and at the same time : "Let's legalize that new stuff that we never really could measure the long lasting effects of. It looks fun and kids love it.".

The paper says that it can't precisely measure the effect of those changes to cognitive issues. They just link marijuana with modified brains. If you belive that an altered brain function exactly like a non-altered one, this is your choice. But any sound safety principle should tell you to take care with that stuff IMO.

There are tons of papers measure the cognitive issues that arise with pot usage. Here is just one, but look it up. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3221171/
My body doesn't take much resources and effort to maintain, and in any case there is no alternative. My car on the other hand, consumes a significant portion of my resources, which constrains my freedom to spend its portion of my income on other things, or to not work for it altogether.

> While I understand this intellectually (that is, I know that this is an American-centric thing, and that other societies in the world have a different view), I am curious how this view would be justified?

How would you justify views, if not intellectually?
I think calling it rubbish is a bit extreme.

I am definitely motivated by purchasing a domain. Yes, not all ideas pan out but it gives me a good jolt to explore the underlying business and implementation.

I'm trying to think of the last time I called a company for personal reasons where a call center would have sent me to an agent (as opposed to just getting a receptionist). I think I had to call Steam once a few years ago to verify myself to get my account unlocked. Years before that, I had to go through the gauntlet of calls necessary to actually convince the cable company that no, I didn't want their cable service any longer.

Am I the odd man out? I guess that 30+ years of having to call in for something every now and then and the pain that always involved has soured me on the whole experience. I doubt that getting an agent that knows I'm a fan of Godzilla movies or whatever other nonsense they will grab from my social media sites will actually help the experience in any meaningful way.
Chrome is pretty bad for battery life.

They're not visible at the level of looking at one SNP at a time. If you look at a whole lot of genes, you can get a very good idea of race.

I'd buy beans instead. Cheaper and healthier. Mexican bean salad in particular is really good. If you insist on ramen I'd use raw noodles, put in your fill or chili powder and veggies. For the "meat" use tofu and mushrooms.

Not going to go looking for the specific law now, but you can't use self employed people, or limited time employees for jobs that are usually done by full time employees (with indefinite contract) just because you want to keep costs down.

Just like the other 95% of people: complete economic illiteracy.
Chris has been nothing but a pleasure to interact with every time we've met. Best of luck in his new endeavors. Really excited to see what he'll pursue next. :)
Oops, that should indeed be 256 bits (8 * 32 = 256). The rest of the comment stands though.
Wow I'm learning today that Github used Redis for persistent data, now that they moved away :-) Anyway very happy that Redis helped to run such an important site. From the blog post it looks like that for certain things to move away from Redis was hard even if they are very skilled with MySQL, this is a good thing from the POV of Redis since it means that Redis allows to model certain things easily. However they wanted to move away as an important priority, so I wish to know why they wanted to move away so badly and how Redis could be improved in order to serve better the users. If Redis was better for their use case, they could have avoided to move to MySQL I guess. Unfortunately the blog post is short of details on that regard, perhaps because the blog post author(s) are too gentle to bash Redis after using it for a long time.
>Sure. But solving that involves a complete overhaul of the current capitalist system

The current capitalist system, maybe, but I think it is perfectly workable within some flavor of capitalism. In fact, I think that having a solid social safety net would push capitalism to even greater heights of efficiency. With the notable exception of the taxation to pay it people would be making transactions that are guaranteed to be a net positive. That assumes, of course, that paying for such a system isn't an overall negative which is debatable (but more and more plausible with productivity gains over the last century or two).
Looking at the personal data in your pastebin link, I thought this field was excessively blunt:

"status": "successful"

But then I realized it probably indicates the _request_ status.

On a more useful note, aboutthedata.com will show you what Acxiom (one of these customer analysis companies) knows about you. Request the "partner marketing data" emailed to you since that has most of the interesting data. I got this last week and it was fairly accurate. Although I had to laugh at the item: "Prefers BlackBerry".
"Every city has different driving culture, so how will autonomous cars treat these unique conditions. What’s safe in Bangalore may cause a traffic collapse in Boston, etc."

Say 5 people out of 25 have tails at time=0.

One day, the 20 without tails kill the 5 with tails.

So at time=0, the prevalence of tails is 20%. At time=1 day the prevalence of tails is 0%.

The remaining members of the population may still have the genes to make a tail, but no one currently has a tail. If tails are a dominant trait, they won't. If tails are a recessive trait, a couple generations of killing babies with tails will do quite a lot to further diminish the prevalence of the trait.
Thinkpad T###p series (e.g. T460p).

It isn't good due to magic or some other vaporous marketing buzzwords. It is good because you can just install big batteries and swap them out in sleep mode.

Get one or more 6 cell 72Wh rear batteries (6,666 mah). Alternatively get one or more Lenovo Power Bank 10,000 mAh (100 Wh give or take). The advantage of the Power Bank is that you don't even have to put the computer to sleep.

One extra 6 cell 72 Wh battery is a lot less heavy than you're imagining (approx 1/2 pound). I'd even go as far as to say that your Macbook's dongles weigh more than doubling the battery life of the Thinkpad T460p.
They could also not solve the problem. If someone isn't going to buy a lot more from you, doesn't talk to people who will buy a lot from you, and are unlikely to go to small claims court why give them an RMA? If some of your merchandise was damaged in the warehouse, why not bin that for people who have less recourse according to your market research?

In the distant past an unethical person running a store could do those types of things to people from a family that was usually picked on in a small town or to people whose ethnicity or race meant that they wouldn't be believed if they reported that a store was acting in bad faith or not honoring their terms.

I agree with you that it is a terrible thing to do, though I think it is more of a return to the old normal compared to recent past, rather than something entirely new.
But at the same time not having it soon enough means someone else can swoop in and keep it from you.

Domains are cheap. I buy them for $10 before discounts. If the concept changes spend another $10. You'll spend far more than that trying to negotiate it back.

I think this is somewhat misleading. Antarctica likely is still gaining ice mass overall, for complex reasons, even as the overall stability and health of the ice shelves and sheets weaken.

To boil it down to one key point, west antarctica has grounding lines which slope inward, such that the ice melting is already causing a positive feedback loop as melt accelerates the process of warm water working its way under the ice sheet.

So while no one is predicting an immediate collapse, there absolutely is reason to think we will and already have been crossing tipping points which will cause irreversible, continuing acceleration in melt.

Right, they're allegations and don't contain the actual evidence upon which those allegations are founded.

I would take them with a pinch of salt until seeing the actual evidence. But just a pinch; the excerpts and descriptions are very clear, non-ambiguous, and you would basically need to believe the senate was plain-faced lying to go too far down that road.

My question to you is, how can you change your unconscious thoughts and behaviors?

Think of this in relation to thought crime, from 1984 by George Orwell. You say to yourself, "Okay, I am depressed. I have thoughts of suicide and in general, I am miserable 24/7. Let's stop"

What do you do when, untriggered, a mistake from your past or even a happy memory of what once was comes to the front of your mind and you begin to dwell on it?

Do you tell yourself "Okay, stop thinking about this now"?

It doesn't really work like that, especially when you don't have someone to talk to.

I've struggled with these things for some time, largely alone. For me and a lot of people I've come across, depression isn't just sadness, or immense sadeness.

Depression is hopelessness, dread, [lots of] anxiety, self loathing and loneliness.

Depression is wanting so badly for someone to help but the few that are willing can't since you're unable to articulate what you need because you don't even know.

Depression makes you feel isolated and different from all of the people around you, forces you to be withdrawn. You want to break out so badly but you can't, and at worst people (friends and strangers alike) actively avoid you because you seem so off. Conversations are ended abruptly, odd looks are given, and that just adds to all the stress.
I personally wouldn't provide it. However I use Google and Facebook (messenger) so I'm probably just a hypocrite (you provide them far more information then your ID alone would give, e.g. income proxies, education, code, interests, multiplied by friends and connections).
I'm curious what you mean by how much you "invest". Do you mean how much you pay for it? Isn't .com $13 in most places? Or do you mean to say you spend a couple k from a broker? If it's the latter, I'd hope you're prepared to be serious and focus on developing it.

I refuse to buy domain names from speculators. I think it's one of the scummyest (legal) things you can in relation to the internet. You're buying cheap resources on the hope that someone is desperate enough to give you more money for it later. They're middle men that provide no service and add zero value to the world. They're just selfish.
They don't think like that. "Let's make a gimmick for newcomers".

They just legitimately thought it was great and will it enough to impress people and shut them up about the late revamp of the MBP line.

And it could be good, with certain provisions, but not will all the other BS coming with it.

The main issue is it seems nobody at the top could see this -- and I mean see this when they said ok initially, because surely they did know the issues before launching the machine, when it got to wider testing (before that it was only small teams that had seen the whole new laptop plus strip, as it their usual modus operandi).
Sorry. I tried to be careful to say 'see if it's this' - I think people who have spent time depressed either completely agree with what I've said, or completely disagree. Probably there's two distinct things we're calling depression.
Why not a book instead like the elements of statistical learning?
