Agreed it has been abused. On the other hand, if you adhere to a computational theory of mind and see the mind as computation over a formal system, then it is saying something about the mind and the fact that some (true) sentences cannot be proven in that system, isn't it? It is a big if though.

(though maybe in a completely irrelevant sense of truth).

You make it sound like the code does this itself!

It doesn't reach out, it grants you a ton of rights in exchange for you preserving those rights downstrea. in projects you use it in.

If that is not a good tradeoff for you, don't use it.

You make it sound like an active, infectious agent.
I still cannot believe how large and clean that /r/PrequelMemes logo came out. It was a lot of text too, which made it all the more impressive.
I like this idea but extending it to the whole world based on geolocation. Use an app and earphones to find voice/text descriptions of places and landmarks, monuments, sculptures, buildings, etc. Everything can be geo-toured.

Of course in a museum is perfect but based on geolocation it doesn't have to be linear, you can go anywhere in the museum and get voice/text about that particular place/masterpiece and when they are changed then easily change the audio/text for the place.

Love it!
Did you ever tried bootstraping an R kernel on mybinder?
I would hope it has the standard meaning, ie you can buy one now in one configurations, and change or upgrade single components of it to achieve a different configuration in the future.

Re-sent, thank you.

I like this idea, and I'd enjoy hearing more about it. (Email in profile if you're interested in discussing further.)
For those who use R, I strongly recommend looking into R Notebooks (http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/r_notebooks.html), as there is a lot more versatility involved, especially over the Jupyter/IRKernel approach. Although it's R only, unfortunately (you can run Python code in it but not the way you expect)

I'd like to see some things ported into Jupyter from R Notebooks, like JavaScript data tables and the separation of code and output, making it easy to version control only the code. (Atleast this 5.0 release makes tables nonugly)
Here is my testimony on how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) with the herbal medicine of Dr Itua, i have been suffering from this disease for the past 2 years and 7 month without solution until i came across the email of this doctor who have cure so many people with his herbal medicine, i also choose to gave him a chance to help me and my husband, he told me what to do and i kindly did it, and he gave us his herbal medicine and direct me on how to use it, i also follow his instructions for use and he ask us to go for a check up after 1 week and 4days which i did, to my greatest surprise our result came out as negative, we are really happy that there is someone like this doctor who is ready to help anytime any day. To all the readers and viewers that is doubting this testimony stop doubting it and contact this doctor if you really have one and see if he will not actually help you. i am not a stupid woman that i will come out to the public and start saying what someone have not done for me and i know that there are some people out there who are really suffering and hurting their family just because of these diseases so you can to mail him on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or you can also whatsapp him on +2348149277967 he also told me that he has cure for these diseases listed below .

> there are many ways one could interpret this largely qualitative data

Only if you don't understand the basic science or you have a denialist agenda.

If you want to know the facts, see:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-whats-warming-the-wo...

And those are good and precise calculations.

But even for the simplest, back-of-the-napkin calculations, you'd have to deny the contribution of CO2 to conclude anything else. And the CO2 contribution is 100% proven.

The same stands for the basic chemistry: The humanity burns immense amounts of carbon, burning hydrocarbons produces CO2 (if there's enough fresh air) or CO (if there's not). If you don't believe that, I suggest you to close yourself in a sealed room and burn a fire (coal) inside and keep it burning. You'd die, provably, unless somebody rescues you.

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/man-died-from-carbon-monoxide-pois...

The concentration of the CO2 increased proportionally to our burning of the hydrocarbons increased, and additionally, the seas got more acidic. Everything fits.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulity

P.S. If you "just" doubt in the study of over 12,000 peer-reviewed climate science papers, you are free to evaluate them yourself and to publish your take on them. I really doubt that the results would significantly change, if the scientifically valid methods are used. I have emphatically not called you personally a "denialist." But I argue that you can't be intellectually honest if you use an "argument from incredulity" (which you suitably call your "spider" that is, in reality non-existing, non-sense sense) or stating "there are many ways one could interpret this" which obviously isn't true. You linking to the work which main conclusion is "that partisan presentations of controversies stifle debate" has also no relevant scientific value, as the scientists agree about the human caused global warming occurring at least 30 years already. There are scientific facts, and to establish other facts you have to do real scientifically valid work. Scientifically valid also means accepted by the scientists. The majority of them in the relevant field. Again, politicians, lobbyists and media don't count. It's very known that the US public perception of the scientific agreement is wrong (including OP the statistics we comment), and your "spider sense tingling" (your name for you avoiding logically and technically valid arguments) fits that exactly.

That looks great! The landing page answered exactly my questions, so to the degree that I'm your target audience: that's really impressive.

Even more impressive considering that I absolutely and unreasonably loathe websites that mess with my scrolling, which yours appears to do. May I suggested turning that off :-)?

Anyways, I'll try it out and get back to you!
It's great that you've written a thoughtful critique about such nuanced and valid points, but from reading your post, it's not totally clear to me what you think are viable solutions to making (1) requests more atomic and (2) validation more intuitive.

Regarding (3) testing complex dynamic templates, I don't have much input as I tend to build APIs using Django Rest Framework rather than web apps with Django templates. Perhaps serializers and validators in DRF solve some of your concerns.

(I'd also be curious to hear what frameworks or libraries you've opted to use instead of Django for your use cases.)

That, and Nagel's book on the proof, have been recommended on HN before (very recently!). And Rebecca Goldstein's book has been dismissed as too hand-wavy.

For important, wiki-friendly topics like this one, HN is frustratingly not great for building a readily checkable/cumulative knowledge base, rather than encouraging a forgetful herd discussion that goes around in circles. It is as I say frustrating for anyone who wants long-term knowledge rather than flimsy "news".

Then there are people who live their whole lives in places more extreme than either of the moods I described.

I've had a project on my mind for a long time now. Just for my own entertainment value.

I wrote a Python script a while back that would take two people's Google Location data (from Google Takeouts), and find out where they've crossed paths. I found out that my girlfriend and I were only a mile apart, within 5 minutes of each other, two years before we met (she was gracious enough to download her location data and share it with me..). It was a horribly, horribly, horribly written script, that I made when I was just learning Python. But the results were pretty fun.

I've since wanted to rewrite things and extend this idea to an entire 'agent' system, where you can import data from any source that lets you download it (Facebook, LinkedIn, Mint, Google, etc.), so that you can 'recreate yourself'. In other words:

me.photos(date='2016-01-01') would bring up all the photos I took on that date. Or me.location(date='2016-01-01') would bring up all the places I was that day. Or me.texts() would show all the texts I've sent via SMS or Messenger, or Hangouts, or whatever source I've allowed importing of.

But the most exciting idea for me, would be to make this into a life story of sorts. On a map, animate what places I went, who I sent texts too (and what the contents were), what I spent money on, etc. And allow me to do analytics on all of my data - where am I most likely to spend money on snacks (mint + location)? How fast do I tend to walk when I'm at work (fit data + location)? What's my favorite grocery store? Who do I text the most when I'm at the bars (sms/messenger/hangouts + location)? What time of day do I write the most angry emails (sentiment analysis + Google email data)?

Then if you have friends who don't care if you know everything about them, let them import agents and somehow have them interact. Recreate an entire world. Then somehow import this data into Unity or some other game engine, so you can recreate your virtual self. Watch yourself move through life from a third person view. Or first person. Whatever.

Given the sensitive nature of data like this, I figured I'd write code for this and somehow do all the processing locally. But I'm not a software engineer and really haven't been able to move forward with this idea. It'd really be for nothing other than my own amusement.

It's funny how, after a long day at work, I'll sit down and be determined to finally start materializing some of them, but then realize that all the excitement I had about the ideas in my head isn't enough to overcome the RSI in my wrists, or mental fatigue from working all day.

Maybe at some point I'll finally get a move on with it.

While I do empathise with you (my family wasn't under fascist rule, they were under communist rule), I disagree with your way of approaching the issue.

In my mind, the best way of ridding ourselves of the mistakes of the past is to stop holding their symbolism as something that should be banned. It's the same with offensive words -- by keeping them as "things you should never say" you're effectively giving them power which goes against your wishes to eradicate the power they once had.

Do you think that Hitler (or Stalin, Tito, Mao, Pot) would prefer that you made fun of them and lightheartedly used the symbolism they held dear or that you feared them after the deaths of their regimes?

All of that being said, I completely understand why you would feel the way you do.

It works by monitoring data structures (and soon general objects!) in your code, and sending operation data (e.g. element added/removed) to the server app which does all the actual visualization. Different clients can be written for different languages, though I've only written one for monitoring Java code so far (but the clients are semi-trivial to build).

Problem: a lot of what's difficult in programming is that you can't watch the 'state' of your program as its running; we approximate it with print statements etc.—but there is no easy way to view trees, graphs, tables, lists, hashmaps, etc. especially when they are being actively modified by a program.

I'm hoping to have an alpha ready in a week or two. Back to work!

Edit: split into Project/Problem format.
If they don't have any code or project whatsoever they are able to discuss I have zero interest in interviewing them.

I have never said this is a universal formula for all to adopt. This is what I do. And it has worked very well for over thirty years across a range of engineering disciplines. Google and others can't take this approach because they need to hire people by the thousands. Not me.

Another interesting thing is to talk about someone's hobbies and passions outside of work. This is where you can learn so much about a person. People are passionate about one or more things and that is a reflection of their personality.

We do a lot of work in aerospace. There are very obvious legal barriers to disclosure there. Yet, I have always found that most engineers who are truly engaged with their craft have enough interesting things to talk about outside of work that you can really get a sense of who they are and how they will approach work.

An interesting example was when I needed someone to work on some Python code. I brought in people who had zero experience with Python. I could not care less about that. I wanted someone with some of the qualities I have already mentioned. I ended up hiring a programmer with lots of C++ experience and no Python chops at all.

The first three months were dedicated to taking a deep dive into Python while getting up to speed on the project. After that the focus shifted to the project itself. This person has been with me for many years and doing an amazing job with various technologies we didn't even know we would touch when I hired him.

I know this person can pick-up any technology we might need to utilize and do an excellent job of it.

The investment is in the person, not the technologies or the ability to memorize coding puzzles.

Justice Department to review all civil rights agreements on police conduct
Yes, but according to the article, Mastodon only has 35K users at the moment. The question is how they're going to enforce this policy when/if it reaches Twitter size (hundreds of millions of users). When armies of trolls show up making hit-and-run accounts, that's going to be hard to combat.

Then again, Twitter has been notoriously uninterested in fighting this kind of problem. In fact, they don't seem to care much at all what their users think (editing tweets, anyone?), probably because users are not a direct source of income for them (but advertisers are). This is different in the case of Mastodon. It would be interesting to see what kind of solution they might come up with.

Wrong. After Age of Empires 3 (2006) there was no new Age of Empire worth to mention.

(Age of Empire online was a Free2Play/whatever game based on the years older Age of Mythology engine. Microsoft closed the Ensemble Studios. Lately Microsoft asked a small unknown studio to recompile old Age of Empires 2 and Age of Mythology and add some community patches and rerelease those 15+ year old games as HD (not really any graphical changes, beside minor stuff, ad bigger resolution), and some new missions/campaigns. But we know the game and it runs still fine with community patches on Win7. And replaced the network lib with Steam, but it's a buggy mess - the original game run more stable. What the AoE community wants are real new games, not old games one played already for 15 years and hundreds of hours know very little secrete.)

Unless this unprofessional business owner not only refunds the money but establishes in writing no harm has befallen the owner as a result of using his device, he's probably got a lawsuit coming. The fact of the case are public knowledge now. No amount of abuse by customer legally or ethically justifies removing the primary feature of the device that was purchased. Money must be refunded before the account can be closed. The behavior is not only unprofessional and incredibly poor judgement as well as emotional control. This company has a an open-shut case against them from what I know of the law here. It also sets a nasty precedent that would possible compel to throw the book at the business owner to discourage similar behavior from other IoT companies. Really bad call, Garadget. IoT's are proving dangerous enough without company owners doing things like this.
