> Code is not inherently visual.

Nor is it text. It is a tree (hence the term "abstract syntax tree"). We just save it in an awful serialized format.
That depends on how you describe a species. The problem is that the recreated mammoth would probably made from modified elephant DNA, therefore having most of the time the gene order of elephants (while having mammoth gene sequences). It would therefore almost certainly be impossible to cross them with the original mammoth. Nevertheless, aside from chromosome arcituctual influences that we do not yet understand would you have a mammoth that is phenotypically identical to the original (and not be a cross between elephant and mammoth). If there should be a successfull genome writing program, it would be possible to recreate the original genome and you would get the original species. The T-Rex clone is different as we do not know (and almost certainly will never know) its genome.
Maybe setting an arbitrary length limit would work.

I don't blog - I'd like to - largely because of the same feeling you're describing. But I use Twitter, sometimes posting random thoughts there (either in single tweets or in small chains). That's a severe length limit, of course, but it does make me more confident posting things without spending a lot of time thinking about them and elaborating. I think this is a big part of the reason for Twitter's success. For a blog, the limit would have to be considerably higher, but still low enough that you relatively quickly get to a point where you're 'done' and can't really add more (without sacrificing something else, at least).

Alternative suggestion: write a script to automatically syndicate your HN comments to your blog :)
You're downplaying valid concerns. The ability to de-anonymise large data sets that we have today is unprecedented. The degree to which systems with access to that data are accessible remotely and potentially vulnerable to security problems is unprecedented. The degree to which powerful organisations like employers and insurers are attempting to profile potential employees and customers is unprecedented. However, neither major breaches involving huge amounts of potentially sensitive personal data nor scope creep in how data is used by large organisations once acquired are unprecedented.

None of this is good for the individuals whose data is potentially at risk, and it's perfectly fair and reasonable to ask whether some of the most sensitive data there is about individuals is being properly handled by those entrusted with it given the implications of modern technology. There might be a lot of potential good in big data analysis for improving healthcare outcomes, but there is also a lot of potential harm if people stop, say, being confident in discussing potentially limiting conditions with their doctors, or reaching out for help with mental health issues because they're worried about confidentiality.

Honestly I think it's that it just starts to suck less with each time you do it. I've run the gamut in my life from overweight couch potato that didn't exercise for years, to fanatically going to the gym 3 hours a day, five days a week. Running an 8-9 minute mile when I was in my worst shape would have been orders of magnitude harder for me, mentally, to complete - than probably a half marathon or something when I was in good shape. That doesn't mean I've _ever_ liked going to the gym and working out. It did mean that at times when I was in such good shape I didn't mind it that much.

Something like this could also be done by multi-rotor drones:

Instead of slowly coming in for a landing, the drone could be programmed to shut down (or drastically reduce the thrust) of the thrusters, and "fall" out of the sky.

In the process, the onboard cpu could monitor attitude and altitude, and apply thrust as needed to keep the craft from tumbling, then at the "last moment", apply full thrust for a dramatic slow-down and soft-landing.

Such a maneuver could be used for an evasive action as needed, as well as anywhere a quick-landing is wanted where a slow-landing could put the drone in danger (such as on a battlefield?), or other possible situations.

In fact - this sounds like an obvious thing to do - so I wouldn't be surprised if it has already been implemented. If not - then someone needs to try it (preferably on a cheap drone or simulator first, I'd imagine).
Ask HN: Freelance subcontract opportunities?
I'm part of a 2 man mobile and fullstack development team. We've had success subcontracting in the past but these opportunities are seemingly rare.

I'm on a similar train of thought.

I look at everything in terms of plant-based mathematics (trees, branches, nodes, roots, fruits/data). I deduce everything to first principles and work up from there.

This is an old argument. If a language allows a switch statement where no case being executed is an option, there's an opportunity for bugs. If a language doesn't allow that, some people bitch about it being too pedantic.

A strong argument for insisting on covering all the cases (possibly with an explicit default) is that someday, someone may add a new enum value, type, or whatever, and code that fans out on that value may invisibly become invalid.
Baloney!

If scale/cost was the only issue, we would not have a problem. You could replace most processed food in a typical naive modern diet with potatoes, beans, and/or eggs (which are extremely cheap) and increase the healthiness of the diet tremendously.

It is very cheap to eat healthy.

The problem is knowledge. The modern processed food/ad industry in the 20th century somehow managed to a lot of destroy traditional cultural knowledge in the west about cooking and eating, and replace it with its own brand new, untested ideas.

It's getting better, but very slowly. Too many people have been tricked by the newest big food lie: that choosing which foods to eat (eg, beef vs avocado) is not the most important thing, but rather what's important is the label -- it should be organic, local beef, not conventional, it must be an organic avocado, not just any old avocado. In this world view, eating healthy is reserved for those who can afford it and unhealthy industrial food is indeed unfortunate but a necessity. This world view is very convenient for food businesses, but is also wrong. In real life, the conventional potato eater is healthier than the organic white bread eater, despite spending much less money.

One can move for economic opportunities or cultural opportunities. The two can co-occur but they are different needs. If we're talking about integration of Muslims, the ones who aren't soft on their own beliefs, i.e. not raised in the cosmopolitan West, are likely moving simply for economic opportunity or to avoid danger, not necessarily because they like the West.

Given that in most countries that are purely Muslim have reason to resent the West and see their struggle as being in part ideological, as Western materialist culture is antithetical to Islamic theocracy, should we not be a little bit wary?

I don't think culture is the only variable, but even if it was, there is still cause for concern.

> Well, perpetual motion is not impossible, obtaining energy from it impossible

This is incorrect.

From Wikipedia [0]: "A perpetual motion machine of the third kind is usually (but not always)[10] defined as one that completely eliminates friction and other dissipative forces, to maintain motion forever (due to its mass inertia). [...] It is impossible to make such a machine,[11][12] as dissipation can never be completely eliminated in a mechanical system, no matter how close a system gets to this ideal (see examples in the Low Friction section).

That assumes "calorie burning" is a benefit. Not everyone needs to lose weight (or even exercise to keep their weight stable).
All of the Rockefeller money was distributed by John D. Rockefeller Sr. directly to his children and grandchildren. While progressive in some aspects, he held the common at the time view that business matters were best left to men. This resulted in the men of the family receiving sizable ($billions) gifts, while the women mainly lived on allowances, and much smaller gifts. I'm sure this is part of it.

I generally avoid reading contemporary (< 10 years old) novels, especially series, for fear they'll turn out to be part of the 90% of everything that's crap. How is this one?

They sell goods and services to people with a physical presence in New Zealand. New Zealand supplies the infrastructure to make these sales possible. So why should it even matter?
It isn't very much. There are charts that show the post workout calorie utilization, and might was well not bother counting it. And if you are running a caloric deficit anyways, it might actually hurt you since your body cannot repair itself well anyways. Example, if you are trying to keep[ muscle while dieting (in caloric deficit), running and lifting heavy is a way to lose muscle.

Why is the ratio max range speed/max endurance speed the same for any airplane?
I think you are drawing a false dilemma here. Exercise is absolutely critical to mental and physical health, there are no substitutes. Studying and exercise should be balanced as time allows but exercise should never be eliminated.

Studying without exercise would be like studying by only skimming text. It's really not worth the time if you can't understand and retain what you are studying.
Actually, you're well off, but not for the reason you think. Let me explain.

Fasting invokes all your counter-regulatory hormones: cortisol, adrenaline, others but they are the big players - because not having easy access to sugar leads to a stress response.

So it isn't gut rest, it's physiological phase change that is causing the stress response

My concern is also the academic & industrial support community will support the concentration of a few contributing institutions to such a journal. I have no doubt that Distill will have high-impact and visibility among various audiences.

Yet I don't see how this will readily support possibly cutting-edge work or new research in machine learning that does not have access to visualization development, or these forged connections to Distill to facilitate the development of these visualizations.

So it seems like a likely outcome is that Distill publishes content from well-regarded institutions and increases publicity for that work, to the detriment of a vast bulk of papers which do not have access to the visualization resources to develop Distill-ed versions of their work.

Furthermore, and this is a larger disciplinary issue, but it seems inherently this could end up spotlighting more CS-y machine learning vs statistical learning due to cultural differences between disciplines and differences in computational/web development background in grad students and researchers in both fields. Are there efforts to reach out to statistical associations as well?

I've used BQ, RS and Athena. Their benchmark results and links to how I conducted benchmarks on each can be found here: http://tech.marksblogg.com/benchmarks.html

I could probably write a book on my experiences but I'll keep this short.

BigQuery requires the least amount of work to keep performant but this comes at a cost (this cost matches Athena).

Redshift seems to have support for just about every BI tool out there including Periscope which I've found to be popular with my customers. The downside is that you've really got to think about how you layout your data, how you write your queries and there is something of a weekly task of bringing up the console and hunting down the worst-offending queries for optimisation.

Keep in mind if you're already on Google Cloud or AWS you could incur bandwidth charges moving data to the other provider.

Is this because the NZ tax system collects from the consumer rather than merchant?
i disagree with the first point. I'm working on a distill article with Chris and Shan, and the major draw for this has been impact. It seems very plausible that an article on distill has the potential to reach a far broader (and different) audience than a paper in even a top tier mathematical journal like SIAM would.

I won't deny the time commitment needed for a distill article is not trivial - it is far more work than a technical blog. But in terms of a pure tradeoff of time per publication, the calculus makes sense. Most of the work of research distillation and synthesis is already part of the research process, and writing a distill article is just a matter of putting it all of down on paper. Doing research is a far more time consuming and less predictable process.
What I like to do is have a hot bath and then 30 minutes in take a freezing cold shower for about 10 minutes then get back in the bath for 30 minutes, followed by another freezing cold 10 minute shower.

If you think you can't do a freezing cold shower, you'd be surprised. Start off luke warm and just keep lowering it little by little. Before long you'll have the water all the way on cold.

Once it's cold I try to do 2-3 minutes on front, back, left and right.

Parent is probably referencing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_crystal Because a time crystal is a driven (i.e. open) quantum system that is in perpetual motion, it does not violate the laws of thermodynamics... does not produce work...does not spontaneously convert thermal energy into mechanical work...cannot serve as a perpetual store of work... A time crystal has been said to be a perpetuum mobile of the fourth kind: it does not produce work and it cannot serve as a perpetual energy storage. But it rotates perpetually.

Anyone in the US is paying very low taxes compared to what "high-income" tax payers pay in e.g. Scandinavian countries like Sweden. The treshold for "high income" is (simplified) at about $80k per year.

Stock option profits are taxed as income as well. (In Sweden we also have to pay social security fees on our stock option profits - the end result typically being at least a 62% taxation level on that income.).
I think considering exercise to be unpleasant is similar to considering math "too hard". It's a matter of attitude and perspective. You are probably right that there are benefits from overcoming that perspective but it's unfortunate that we continue to perpetuate the perception that these positive experiences are somehow negatives in the moment. We should really improve our internal marketing campaigns.

Correct. Most financial reporting doesn't count GST collected as revenue. There are circumstances where this isn't true but generally it's booked as a liability.

According to the comment, sustained simplicity occurs only

2. if they don't need to because they're extensible, e.g. Forth, Scheme, Smalltalk

Maybe these aren't the only requirements.
