> Open-RethinkDB is not going to fail because of AGPL, IP issues or litigation. It's going fail because of lack of users, developers, and growth.

AGPL (which is an IP issue and is a source of perceived risk of litigation) is a contributor to lack of users, which is a contributor to lack of developers.

You are treating deeply linked issues as if they were orthogonal.
We ask what people do because everybody does something, while only a fraction of people have hobbies. (Hobbies include people whose work is their hobby, and exclude people who happen to care deeply about more private, or at least bigger-than-smalltalk things.)
You don't say
You seem to be mistaking organic for ripe nutritious food. Organic just limits some specific chemicals. That is it. You can replaces those limited chemicals with other "natural" chemicals which may be (and often are) much more harmful.

Organic does not save the earth. Sometimes is does, but other times it is more harmful than the conventional practice.

Organic is not more nutritious. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is less (because the farmer cannot replace the nutrients last year's crop took out)

Organic is not fresher or better tasting. Sometimes it is, but that is not a reflection on organic, it is a reflection on conventional farmers not finding it worthwhile to sell fresher.

> "This year, both houses of the state Legislature were poised to pass a bill allowing the app-based transportation networks to operate upstate and on Long Island. The measure was approved by the Republican-led Senate on June 17th, but the Assembly version was amended at the last minute to include excessively high insurance limits. Soon after, the press revealed that the New York State Trial Lawyers Association was behind the push for higher insurance limits."

Has anyone experienced an improvement in any physical diseases/ailments from meditation?
I think he means that even though the license is unsuitable for some users, it is fine for others. Probably most users are fine with the license actually, otherwise RethinkDB wouldn't be as popular as it is. After all, RethinkDB has been AGPL for years.

It is unfortunate that some users, such as yourself, must be left out, with no apparent remedy. But this does not mean RethinkDB cannot succeed elsewhere.

>If GM crops are capable of being wind blown how does his activity differ at all from someone trying to naturally select for crops with herbicide resistance?

The only "naturally selected" herbicide resistant crops were made in a lab using fast-neutron bombardment. Not exactly natural, or amenable to traditional methods.

If you tried to select for herbicide resistance in a normal field, all you would get is weeds and a lot of dead crops. It is not impossible to do, simply infeasible.

>Given enough time a superior GMO plant could take over a field all by itself with no intervention

Then you sue the creator and make millions. There is a long precedent with inseticides/herbicide use.

Often if a pesticide blows on the wind into a neighboring field and causes damage, the sprayer is liable. This has already been used to litigate geneflow from one field to another.

>A related problem is that it's difficult/impossible to tell if you're growing a patented seed without expensive tests.

Sampling your soil/crop is actually quite routine in farming. A PCR for a trait can be easily and cheaply performed.

Though, this shouldn't be necessary because farmers usually keep tight control of their genetics. Most commercial farmers (conventional and organic) use hybrid seed. This seed is most fit only for one generation, and as a result they order seed from seed companies to maximize yield. As a result, gene flow is not a huge problem.

Obviously it might be more of a concern for heirloom seed providers, but simply being aware of neighbors and pollination distances can alleviate concerns.
"The guided meditations from QuietKit offers three main benefits to anyone who uses them:

Decreased stress and anxiety

Increased focus

Increased mindfulness (the ability to be aware of what's occurring at any given moment, but being able to choose how to act, as opposed to just reacting)"

Are those three benefits purely anecdotal?
Is there a distro channel you can recommend to get access to some of this work?
I was this way with books too. I went through several phases where I just couldn't get into a good series, but could read "stand alone" books all day long. These days, I feel like just as I get to know the characters, the story is over.

Enjoying both, I find myself leaning toward the "drawn out" stories, because they let me interact with characters that I like, for much longer periods.

At first I was annoyed at how TV series seem to have gone from 20+ episodes a season to down to as few as 8 per season (less than 4 in some cases, IIRC), but the almost "mini-series" style of shorter seasons makes less filler, but without the rush a movie has.
That's unfortunate. I'm in the burbs of upstate New York. They arrive in about fifteen minutes.

Alternative Title for Software Development Manager
We already have a Software Development Manager who looks after very old system and can't handle new technologies like web, devops.

We have a developer who has been handling multiple web projects, implementing new devops technologies, setting standards and helping other developers. He also manages requirement and does sprint planning. We want to give him Software Development Manager title but we already got one and hand to convince top management. What title would be suitable? Has to be manager.
That's the big bet.

The "don't look at the man behind the curtain" answer is that Uber will magically become profitable at some future date, soon, when robot taxis are invented for use on the road, Uber procures thousands of them and they take over.
A pretty small percentage, obviously. The top grossing movies of 2016 were Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Finding Dory, Captain America: Civil War, The Secret Life of Pets, and The Jungle Book. All of these movies would be impossible to do without CGI.

Viewers want movies to be spectacles. If we're watching something in a theater, we have high expectations of the production value. Otherwise, why even waste the time and money going to a theater? We can watch the "good", low production value movies at home.
And every time you're refuted as presenting an overly simplistic view, mistaking correlation for causation, and a having a host of other categorical and logical errors.

What you do when you link like that is make a "shotgun bullet-point argument:" you're presenting a set of loose, possibly related facts as though they're all mutually reinforcing studies leading to the same conclusions. There's no "there" there.
"How is this any different from Muslim families fleeing the ravages in Aleppo?"

Not everybody lives in Aleppo.

"Do you really think Muslim families are in any better position than Christian ones?"

Um - yes? If you live in a state were non-believers are executed, for example?

The point is not that no Muslims are worse off than Christians. Just that "Christian" could be a heuristic for checking "persecution status" in certain countries.

"Hell tell the people who went through the legal immigration process, the ones who have lived in the US for years that suddenly their lives in America was not enough vetting"

You mean green card holders? Sorry, I don't know enough about the process. But sure, it seems harsh. I hope they'll get their immigration status back asap.
I've heard of this, but what kids actually stick around to take care of their parents when they're old? In fact, isn't that rather cruel? By the time the parents are unable to take care of themselves (if they get to that state; lots of elderly people are fully mobile and capable of taking care of themselves), their kids will now have their own kids, and it will be flatly impossible for them to both have two jobs, take care of their kids, and take care of their parents all at the same time. That's an unreasonable expectation to have of your children.
Hacker News is a community, and incendiary partisan comments such as these aren't conducive to the kind of civil discussion that we're effortfully striving for here. It's absolutely not OK to then repost already-flagged comments with new accounts.

We also ban accounts that use the site primarily for political and ideological purposes for the same reason: that's not what this site is for.
This is also fairly common in user issues as well:

>Sartre remained unpredictable, however, and was engaged in a long, bizarre dalliance with hardline Maoism when he died in 1980.

Bizarre in what way exactly? At the time (late-60s to late-70s) in France maoism was as popular between students and scholars as Marvel movies are in the US today...
Eventually you learn to read and watch at the same time. It's harder to read the subtitle with peripheral vision, so indeed you end up focusing on the text if it's longer.

I also increase the font size (a lot) and add a slightly opaque black background to it -- again it helps to lower the amount of eye fixations.

For this (and obvious aesthetic) reasons, speech bubbles are a bad idea.

I've seen anime subtitles where characters are color-coded; I find to be distracting instead of helpful; the same with the italicized font when the line belongs to someone off screen. Though I'm sure one could argue it improves the accessibility for those having hearing disabilities.

Could we get "swift" added to the title?

Thanks!
You miss the point. The fact that you start by asking that question first, instead of say "what do you love doing" or "where do you live" says a lot about culture.

Source material is important. It's also important to look at what people have said around the creation of that source material. Giuliani, in an interview on Fox News, yesterday:

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/316726-giuliani-t...

"I’ll tell you the whole history of it: When he first announced it, he said ‘Muslim ban,'" Giuliani said on Fox News.

"He called me up, he said, ‘Put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally.’"

I find it very difficult to dismiss out of hand that it isn't intended as a Muslim ban in spirit when Giuliani explicitly says that this exactly what he was asked to do.

The submitted post also includes two articles which include a lot of additional source material.
I think meditation's primary effect, perhaps its only noticable effect for most, is lowered anxiety via learning how to focus thought which tends to lead to less worrying and such. Less anxiety means better sleep, earlier bedtimes, less cortisol in the body, etc. Over time these can affect us physically in an beneficial way.

An eight week mediation course shrinks the part of the brain involved in anxiety:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/05...

From an anecdotal perspective I found taking a anti-cortisol herb (Rhodiola and Ashwaganda) gave me a comparable, but stronger, effect compared to what 30-45 minutes daily meditation gave me.

Meditation lowers cortisol:

While I know there are people who say they loved their Parse experience, I suffered greatly. There are bugs, there are issues, there are simply things that either don't work or are very hard to make work.

On top of it, architecture of the app I was trying to make work, was... challenging.

Anyhow, not a big fan, but it is open source and now you can fix those issues if you care about them.
I'm sorry but that first video is hilarious. That's the stuff Silicon Valley HBO makes fun of. I'm all for people working together to make the world a better place but I was in tears of laughter at that. I was looking for a (Made by HBO) disclaimer somewhere.
Personally I only ask it if I'm already stopped and facing someone. At work, so many people are walking by me at a very fast pace and just quickly shoot this question at me. I answer, "Good, you?" and hear a "good" in the distance as they are already 10 feet away, and it's always felt super awkward.

Totally fine in the breakroom as we are in line to get coffee/water though.

But yeah, people probably just don't think about it much. I understand it's just a greeting to them.

Dropbox has smart people and I'm sure they would have wanted a feature like this from day 1, so if they're introducing it, I'm sure they have good answers. I'm just curious what they are!

One of the main reasons I picked my current career is because it paid relatively well. I came to regret it. I got burnt out and grew to hate it. I wish I'd chosen a career in something I really loved instead, even if it didn't pay that well.
The best movie I've (finally) seen in recent months was El Mariachi. He made that for like $8K. Assault on Precinct 13 (the original one): $150,000. The list goes on and on. The Way of the Gun, a more recent favorite of mine with a bunch of big actors in it: $8.5M.

Another factor might be exorbitant star salaries. However, I think that's a symptom, not the disease. The real problem is that Hollywood is greedy. They won't touch a $10M film with no big stars in it because it's not likely to make an 8-figure profit.

Yes, absolutely. But packaging requires there being a package for your distribution, which means there needs to be a maintainer. There's also Oracle, Atlassian, and MySQL Secure Mode (for example) installations that are a pain to automate. Did you look at the readme at all? This isn't meant to be a replacement for apt or for yum, this is a special purpose tool - and I don't expect it to be a universal one. Expect can already do everything my tool does, but in the case of expect, instead of using a simple configuration file, you need to learn how it works and learn the dsl. That being said, there is an expect module for ansible that can handle things in a similar manner: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/expect_module.html, though I would say that the documentation doesn't give a good indication of how to respond to a specific question other than the order in which it's asked.

Either way, I hope this is useful to some people, and if not, well, that's cool too. Thanks for the interest either way.

There was unintentional wind blown spreading to begin with, how else would he have gotten roundup ready genes into his soybeans that didn't have it?

I agree that he had plenty of intent. But he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to buy the seed from Monsanto first for his "devious" scheme.

Personally I kind of agree with him. If you broadcast a TV show over the air you don't get to cry foul if people watch it. Don't want unauthorized parties getting your genes? Don't let your plants spew them out.

This is (to me) the most revealing quote of the article:

Sounds like the real problem is that audiences disproportionately respond to big stars, so Hollywood disproportionately favors them.

I think he will do what he said he would - repeal and replace. Note that doesn't mean improve, and why would he care if it helps the little people who scurry about beneath his feet. Smoke and mirrors will do and he'll insist it was a great reform package, a great reform, the best healthcare. There will be no meaningful change but maybe some cuts.

Also I'd note you've picked on only one issue, one that is not a priority for him IMO and thus he'll hand over to congress to make a mess of, then put his name to. He cares about healthcare like he cared about Clinton - useful campaign material.

We'll see more far reaching changes in trade, immigration, foreign policy, infrastructure. I expect at least one accidental war, and some massive infrastructure projects which he can put his name to.

Cron is hard. Not in the sense that its challenging to set up but its a challenge to maintain and have visibility into. It seems like you need a whole set of infrastructure just to feel confident that things are running as intended.
