Ads are a great way to make your product known. Have you ever ran a business? At some point if you want to participate in the market of voluntary exchange of good, services and ideas, you need to advertize. The only countries where ads are forbidden and nowhere to be found are North Korea and before that USSR. Very depressing places. I love seeing people expressing themselves and showing up what they've built and trying to sell it. What's wrong with that? Advertizing oneself is one of the most human treat we have and has always existed one way or the other.

Yes, some "modern science" is no different from astrology or metaphysics, nothing extraordinary here. Same dogmatic, unproven theological sectarian arguments about abstract concepts and fancy theoretical models.
The first time I decided to start using Org, I printed out the reference card with all the keyboard shortcuts...and quickly gave up. But I hadn't learned Emacs itself yet, so trying to learn to use Org without really knowing how to use Emacs didn't work.

Later, I learned Emacs itself, and then learning Org was much easier, because I could look up functions and keys and variables and customizations, etc. from within Emacs. As some other people said, I just learned a little bit at a time as I used Org. Eventually, after customizing it and even making a couple of Org-related packages, it's become my own system that works the way I want it to. And I will probably use it for the rest of my life. That's one of the beautiful things about Emacs and Org.
Yeah I'd agree about planning permission, but inside you can do pretty much what you like without issue. The US has rules such as the number and type of sockets you need to have in closets.
(I do appreciate your restraint. I know these discussions can get heated.)

> If one links "There are boars" with "humans have higher fear of radiation than there is actual danger", there are only so many messages such a comment can transport.

The message I took was "boars are different from humans because they aren't susceptible to disproportionate fear". It's meant to highlight the fact that although the abstract reasoning of humans usually gives them great advantage over animals, it can backfire.

Likewise, my dog successfully avoids homeopathic medicine, which is ironic given that people who are taken in by that stuff have more advanced brains than him. But, even though my dog also doesn't want to ever go to the vet, this is not an endorsement of never going to the doctor.
That's not what he wrote though.

Besides, why is the coal thing used as an argument? That's a good point to make when discussing with someone who wants to replace nuclear energy with coal. But I doubt anyone here has that goal.

Something like the dam does not compare, it is not one or the other, and it is not long-lasting damage.
> Even the most basic of financial contracts, like "I'll give you $500 now and you give me $50 a month for the next 12 months", can't be effectively encoded

The more interesting and viable use cases are actually more complex contracts. As a simple example consider a syndicated loan, where loan payments are distributed amongst a group. A smart contract could automate that distribution.

There are much more complex examples with multi-directional cashflows between multiple parties, where smart contracts could absolutely take care of the day to day execution of the contract.

There seems to be some confusion over the term "contract" in this context, though. Many people tend to jump to thinking it means "anything that could possibly be written in a legal contract," but the reality is that the subset of things which could be easily automated by smart contracts is enormous, worth trillions of dollars annually, even though there's a much bigger chunk that's not currently automatable.

I'm not saying that you can't get addicted, I'm saying that if you are or you think you are, I doubt articles like this will help, because they aren't aimed at you. They're aimed at guilting people who think maybe they spend a bit too much time on their phones and should be doing something else, or validating people who have gone cold turkey.

Just look at the other comments here, how does only using your kindle on flights and buying more hardbacks have anything to do with smartphone addiction? Unless we're talking about addiction to screens, or all things electronic, which seems a bit broad.

'If you must, carry a dumbphone' - Is ideal solution to addiction really to aim at not being contactable at all?
Not a non cell phone user, but I can tell my experience avoidind GPS as much as possible:

- Not delegating the responsibility of knowing your way externally (Maps) you get a better sense of location on your own city that builds up in time.

- You also improve your spatial memory and ability to solve location problems. As time goes by you need less information to figure out the path problem. E.g. instead of solving A -> B and knowing C -> B where C is near A you just ask A -> C.

- In unknown locations you actually talk to people and it's not very difficult to solve your problem using that

- You also can always use G Maps on your desktop and take notes or memorize the path, it surprisingly works well and has a great positive effect on your brain. I guess that's one thing we are optimized for.
If you try to get your measuring equipment as close to the fuel as possible, then yes, you will unsurprisingly get high radiation readings. But they apply inside the reactor core, not outside the containment vessel.
Am I the only that never really physically feels better doing these extreme things? I recently went with no sugar for January (my New Years Resolution). I actually ate some sugar, but it had to be "natural" (in fruits/vegetables) and no artificial sweeteners allowed. Everyone else who had done it (on the internet) spoke of how much better they felt after doing it.

After a month I felt like I did before I started. I felt fine, but nothing special. I didn't feel bad before I started, but people described how incredible it made them feel and it didn't do that for me at all. I felt the same. The first day of February I had teriyaki chicken for lunch and had a snack of M&Ms. I felt completely the same.

I also tried going vegan before and gluten free (both for time periods shorter than a month), and neither did anything either. I get that all these things may be healthier, but they didn't make me feel any better.

Reading this guys account, I have a hard time believing that using my phone less would make me feel much better either. That said, I have been turning more notifications off as I do agree that there is very little that justifies interrupting what I'm doing to look at that app.
Giant in the Washington DC area has had this for years.
Just like Stackoverflow though, you would have to use achievements or something in order to give users more influence over time, lest we have a rogue troublemaker deleting everything.

But what are those achievements going to be based on for a site where the number one use case is to keep up with friends and relatives? How many people shared your image? How many people reacted to it? Reddit and Stackoverflow have topics they discuss, and it's easy to know what's a contribution to that discussion. My baby picture might be a big contributor to the conversation between my relatives, it might be very distracting for my colleagues.
Article advice #5 is totally the opposite of what I do: because my email app (outlook) categorize important messages and only display notifications from them I can keep my mailbox closed while working on the PC.

Surprisingly buying an Apple Watch greatly reduce the time I spend on my phone and the stress related to where it lies on my house: I don't need to be close of it anymore and notifications are displayed as a red dot. If a notification is irrelevant* I can dismiss it on the spot without any temptation to use the phone for something else.

* I already highly curated app allowed to notify me. Only mail & chat (fb messenger, Line, etc.) apps remains.

Such a pointless distinction. There are many chemicals that occur naturally and will kill you.
Even if all that were true, it seems moot because our memories are encoded in our brain. If you could suddenly transport to 10 years ago, you'd be reverting to the state of your brain at that time so you wouldn't remember doing so anyways. Ditto remembering the future -- your memories come from your brain, which is subject to time causality.

We've made big advances in reinforcement learning and certain types of supervised learning. But most learning is unsupervised. Somehow a human baby bootstraps itself from being a tangle of neurons to sensing, walking, and talking with very little instruction on how to do so.

I've actually used Spacemacs, but the problem with all these "recreate your Vim setup in another editor" things is that you end up having to redo your entire config. I've had years of custom key-rebindings and tweaks to my `.vimrc` that I don't really feel like redoing for something else.

True, but Hilbert was a mathematician and was expressing the general thought, that mathematics could be formalized and when that was done, it would be complete, consistent, firm, round, and fully-packed. When that was demonstrated to be false, it had no great effect on day-to-day mathematics.

You're sacrificing personal efficiency for bandwidth efficiency. You get to decide which is the best option for you and your users.

I generally share the opinion that most people using bootstrap probably don't need to. I'd recommend questioning it at the start of every project instead of assuming it's what a project starts with.
That is reassuring then. Not convinced their ability to follow simple instructions should even be a factor, though. Kids at that age lack the judgement to know when some rules should be broken.

It is higher because the measurements were taken closer to the core. If anything, these measurements are good news, because they demonstrate a substantial fuel concentration right there, still inside the containment vessel, which puts limits on the amount that may have leaked. What would have been bad news would be not finding any significant radiation source.
It was widely mis-reported at the time. However, they had never reported a radiation reading from this location before. The title of the article is "Fukushima nuclear reactor radiation at highest level since 2011 meltdown". That is not true. It's just have they have a new reading that's higher than previously recorded because it's further inside the reactor.

A better description of the readings can be found here:

The comments so far seem to be in response to ways that phones and other tech distract us. I feel like the author glossed over a key part. Where before his experiment he would wake up tired and feeling hung over. To me this is a sign of poor sleep habits and/or waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle. I've had better sleep habits and have been waking up refreshed after I paid attention to the needs of my body. I go to bed at a consistent time, 10:30, fall asleep by 11, and wake up 7am. I've been doing it consistently now for the past 3 months. I have the phone alarm set and usually wake up a few minutes before it goes off. Phones are a distraction, but the real goal should be in learning to make them work for you. Going cold turkey feels like a bandaid solution to a larger problem of learning to change your habits.

No, it's really not. Please assume good faith.

> Thought is necessary, time is necessary. To go from here to there time is necessary. And thought is necessary to drive a car, to take a bus or train. Thought is necessary, time is necessary at that level. Now I am saying as thought and time are the root of fear, is thought and time necessary psychologically? Are they? As long as you think time and thought are necessary, in the psychological world, in the world of the self, in the world of psyche, in the world of inside the skin, then you will be perpetually in fear. If you perceive that, if there is perception, not acceptance, that thought and time are the root of fear, then thought and time are necessary at the physical level but inwardly are not. Therefore the brain is actively watching itself every minute to see that thought and time do not enter into the realm where they are not necessary. This requires great attention, awareness, so that the brain, which has accumulated fear for centuries, or for one day, sees where they are necessary and where they are not. It watches like a hawk so that thought and time don't enter into the whole process of living. This is real discipline, this is learning. The root meaning of that word is disciple, one who learns, who is learning all the time, who never says, "I have learnt" and halts.

You are aware that your numbers are wrong?

As dark as it is to argue about something like that, but Chernobyl caused many more deaths. Even the WHO predicted 4000, and that is one of the lower figures. This is heavily debated, but to say it was 56 is not even a base for discussion. The cleanup crews alone died in higher numbers.

Second: If you look at coal like that, you have to factor in all the deaths caused by nuclear energy, including uran production. That number raises fast as well.

Third: I never mentioned coal. Bashing against coal is a typical defence strategy of the nuclear industry, and something I see again and again repeated on HN. It's a very weak strategy imo: It is an obvious strawman, and many people who are against nuclear energy are also against coal.

Edit

Four: No, it is no case consistent logic. Something does not become not a catastrophe only because another thing is a catastrophe. It might become a lesser evil (that is not the case here), but that's as far as it goes.
the things Google has created and shared into the whole of human knowledge

Do they really share it, though? You can't download and reuse data from Google Maps or Street View the way you can from OpenStreetMap, say.

I'm not saying this is a fatal problem. Google Maps is a lot more popular than OSM so the free-with-ads closed source approach clearly has a lot going for it. But the data isn't public, they own it.
how would that account for time dilation?

One question to ask is then: what method is useful to figure out the function of an unknown microprocessor? The engineers sometimes reverse engineer chips with electron microscope, with a perfect understanding of electronic principle, a rudimentary idea of how the microprocessor works, what the high-level function of the chip is, etc. And even equipped with this knowledge cracking a chip still takes a lot of effort, and may not succeed at all.

The tools of a neuroscientist would be laughable in comparison, yet neuroscientists have cracked the auditory code (and you can have an artificial cochlea now), the lower visual system is close to be cracked, we have a pretty good understanding of hippocampus and how space is represented in the brain, and many other accomplishment. These are all results from the laughable tools we have for investigating brain.

Having a full connectome of the brain, and running the brain in a simulator will be a huge step of understanding it. We don't know how to use the data now simply because we don't have the data yet, and therefore no effort is putting on interpreting the data. However the usefulness can be glimpsed from neural structures where the connections are clear: the peripheral system, spinal cord, midbrain, and lower sensory and motor regions in the brain. We understand them far better than regions we don't even know where it connects: claustrum comes into mind.

A simulator of the brain, I imagine, will be similar to the human genome project: nobody will understand the whole thing quickly, but it will hugely prop neuroscience forward, sometimes in ways we cannot imagine now.
