> Are you saying that it's impossible to control your thoughts?

Given that thought generation is not a process that you (the person) actively control, that seems rather obvious. "Thoughts" would refer to all of them, and many thoughts are intrusive or otherwise do not originate from "you" (i.e., insights, creativity related thoughts, odd memories, associations, etc., etc.).

You can have thoughts about thoughts, and you have a greater control over those because you /are/ more or less actively generating those, but that's not true for most thoughts you have.

Even then, the control space is very limited (not truly deserving of the term control) and only available to people who practice a lot of introspection. CBT is a tool in making one's way there. It's not something that the average person can get up and do. "You can control your thoughts" is therefore not the most useful statement, we're not discussing what's possible in theory, we're trying to help a specific person.
It sounds like you're arguing for the title here. You say the job requires you to work at any hour, among other things. You say the lessons are at 6 in the morning. You say 80% fail. Sure, it doesn't conclusively prove that people drop out because of those two things, but it seems likely.

I don't really have to have a hypothesis, it's not that uncommon a term. It's used for all sorts of things including a fairly generalized 'insatiable and demanding metaphorical monster'. If someone offhandedly mentions Icarus it seems reasonable to assume they're not really alluding to a review of the Hungarian brand of buses posted to alt.rec.bus in 1991.

Take a look at, say,

http://www.nybooks.com/search/?s=moloch&option_match=&year_a...

Lots and lots of Moloch. Your hypothesis is 'it's a reference to some logorrheic blogger'. Sure, it's possible you're right but it's one hell of a weirdly specific guess. It's not like the three people to ever mention Moloch were Milton, Ginsberg and internet-man-addicted-to-his-own-typing.
Nothing says "normal demands of everyday life" like bouncing quarters off of bedsheets
Hi, I wrote the majority of that part of the project (canvas stuff) & that section of the article – the simple answer is that I have a lot of experience working with the canvas API directly, but little to no experience using any of the popular JS game engines out there (I played around with Phaser years ago, but not very much). I don't think it would've saved me any time to be honest.
I don't know much about this stuff, but I'm curious - do viruses and prions metabolize? Seems to me that "early life" would be exactly like what your OP said - just replication. Replication leads to replication, eventually the better replicators replicate more, etc.

When I looked into it, I was surprised by how hard it is to set up basic smoke tests for web development, and that Selenium / Webdriver can't do this.

> That's not simpler.

With respect to your experience in the matter, I strongly disagree. What I described is complicated to say, easy to implement. What the OP describes ("use redis") is easy to say, complicated to implement. Not just in terms of human work time (setting up the redis machine and instance, connecting everything together), but also in terms of number of moving parts (more machines, more programs, etc.).

> We used tools that we're already using heavily in production and are comfortable with.

That's entirely fair, and what I figured was the most likely explanation.
You can still play the old titles legally - just get a copy of the original cartridge.

Ideally, though - for absolutely-true-legal (pinky shake) - you'd have to build a device to read out the ROM from that cartridge, store it, then play that copy (and only that copy).

Essentially - all of this boils down to it being legal to make a backup of the software media that you own. Then again, DVDs and CSS changed some of that, so...I dunno.
LG wireless headphones but I've heard it happens even with expensive models like Beats
It's better to have one kind of thread and make it go fast than having lots of special cases for bypassing the scheduler. The old MacOS, through version 7, had that problem in a huge way. It didn't have a real CPU dispatcher. Everything event-driven was done by plugging into interrupts. So there were timer tick tasks, vertical refresh interval tasks, and, when TCP/IP networking was crammed in, a bunch of task hooks for network-related tasks. Each could make some different subset of the system calls. None of them could block. Horrid mess.
For any meeting that doesn't involve in-depth technical discussion - the kind of discussion where you might need to break out a whiteboard and start drawing nodes - I find that video conferencing is a perfectly fine substitute for face-to-face communication, as long as the connection is decent.

Actually, the prospect of maybe, randomly getting to the front page of HN with some small interesting program is a nice motivator for small side projects. Overall it's probably a good thing introducing people to new concepts and ideas along the way (in this case Forth, post-fix notation and stack-based evaluation strategies).

Most of those millions of people probably also shouldn't be making trade-offs optimizing for billion dollar startups.
Downloading a torrent has more complications that mere time-shifting. Users are also distributing copyrighted software to other torrent clients. (unless you've completely disabled uploads in your torrent app)

Owning a cartridge may give you the ability to legally download the same software but it certainly doesn't give you permission to supply copyrighted works to other people.
Comcast blocked my site. How do I fix this?
I have an invoicing app that's been online since 2002 and Comcast decided to block it a couple weeks ago. I have no idea why.

I have no reason to suspect anyone has been using it to spam, and I've had no complaints at all about that.

I've tried contacting them but their tech support team tells me since I'm not a customer of theirs they cannot help me. They confirmed it is blocked though, but could not tell me why. One of them suggested I message them on Facebook, so I did.

On Facebook I gave them contact info for several of my app's (they asked and the users gave me permission to do that), and they said they'd contact them, but they haven't.

I've asked users who've complained to me to contact Comcast and several have. Those who have spoke with them tell me that Comcast's tech support said they'd send the complaint up to there "Advanced Tech Support Team", but nothing has changed so they keep calling me.

If there were a user spamming with my app I'd obviously deal with that, but I just don't see that happening. Even the users that have been there for 15 years haven't made even 10,000 invoices so I don't see how any of them could be flagged as spammers.

I do know that having the word "Invoice" in the subject can set a spam flag off and send the email to a users "Junk" folder, but that's not what's happening.

Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this?

EDIT: that article makes sense. I'm obviously not sure on the legalities so I will defer to your understanding of it. I guess this case goes close to home for me because if I had to make the decision between canceling a few whole flights and kicking 4 people off a plane I probably would've done the same thing and I don't think that's unreasonable. I'm all for sticking it to the man but people seem more outraged at the company making a pretty understandible decision when it seems to me the security officer who really made the bad decision and bloodied the guy.

Yeah, when someone writes "Look our pitch deck that raised us $x million" is clickbait.

It was never the pitch deck, it was the traction that got them funded. If you have good traction and your pitch deck is not abysmal, then you can always raise money.
At $199 for what looks like some elastic and metal I imagine they do pretty well on that one.
Technically the passenger is in a private space when the plane is in flight as well. Can I remove him without reasonable cause? Probably not. I wonder at what point it's okay to remove a passenger when they paid for boarding, sat in their seat, and there is no reasonable cause.
The discipline of Psychology is regional. It's only a bit over 100 years old and (basically, work with me here) originated in Austria.

As I read just the other day from, I think, Linda Tirado, many cultures have no concept of mental illness. Either you're normal or you're retarded, and normal people are expected to power through whatever problems on their own. If you can't, then you must be developmentally disabled.
Fascinating article! Consider this tidbit:

"One morning in class, Rifaat taught the word for “mud brick.” In ancient hieroglyphs it was djebet, which became tobe in Coptic, and then the Arabs, adding a definite article, made it al-tuba, which was brought to Spain as adobar, and then to the American Southwest, where this heavy thing, having been lugged across four millennia and seven thousand miles, finally landed as “adobe.”"

This sort of historical word flow was what piqued my interest and led me to study in linguistics. Unfortunately Ancient Egyptian has very few words that made it into other languages, which is strange considering their longevity. Familiar terms about them mostly come mostly from Ancient Greek (e.g. pyramid was mr https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mr) and some from Arabic (e.g. mummy).

Another such borrowing is the Arabic word for oasis, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oasis#Etymology
OpenBSD 6.1 Released
Am I reading this wrong or does the statement from the company conflict with the Mashable article? Seems like they are not shipping more this year, but the way I read it, that leaves the door open to bringing it back next year once they've shored up the logistical process. Talk about underestimating demand. Did current Nintendo execs not experience the 90s?
Survivorship bias is when the people who survive don't understand why other people failed. We understand why they failed and the most common reason is that most people aren't comfortable making quick decisions where people's lives are at stack. Time of day usually isn't a factor here, but people's confidence in themselves to trust their training and decisions. The other reason is people just can't handle the shear amount of knowledge (rules) required to perform the job. Such as not everyone can become a surgeon due to the education, skill-set and intelligence required not every person can due air traffic control.
The company I work for is in London / San Fran / Austin and couple other smaller locations.

They knew what the demand looked like months in advance from preorders. And now it's more than a month past release and they still can't keep stores supplied. At some point, the difference between "we're so surprised!" and "our logistics suck" kind of disappears.
> I'm not even sure how to hook an NES up to a modern TV offhand.

The original NES had RCA composite output (plus audio) - so all you'd need is a composite-to-HDMI adaptor, like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Portta-Composite-Converter-Scaler-sup...

For something like the Sega Genesis (not that you wondered), it also had composite output, but needed a "special" mini-DIN cable; the pinout is out there, and an RCA jack can be soldered in place if you wanted. Also, the same jack (IIRC) served up S-VIDEO, so you could use that instead (S-VIDEO to HDMI).

If all you had was RF output (like for an Atari 2600) - you could do a RF-to-Composite converter, then from that into a Composite-to-HDMI converter.

Where you might run into problems on all of these solutions are those areas where artifacting was used on-screen to generate false colors; sometimes the converters will strip that out (their conversion is too good), or the TV will (same thing, plus LCD vs CRT tech).
We just hired an Indian national at the startup I work for. He's on an h1b visa after finishing his masters in CS. Everyone at the company has to be registered with Homeland security. I'm so pissed. I think maybe we've convinced the CEO to just not and see what happens.
Not proof, exactly, but... I read somewhere that total airline profits for domestic carriers from 1960 to 2010[1] were $0. The history of airlines is just bankruptcy, restructuring, reworking union contracts, belt-tightening, and rinse and repeat.

I agree with you that only employees selling won't make it crash or anything, and I don't expect any big investors to sell; however unless they come up with a solid ad-monetization + continued growth strategy I expect it to follow TWTR's pattern leading up to the lockup (Jan-Apr 2014 -40%) and go even lower shortly afterwards (May 2014 -20%).
It's fairly straightforward, even if you've never set up a RPi before. Once you set up the SD card, it is all GUI based. I'd recommend a RPi3, USB controller(s) (Xbox controllers work great) and a case.

Do you think a dedicated "streaming output" would help?

When I use my Google Daydream, being able to "cast" my screen to a TV and it really helps with this feeling as everyone else can watch along.

If the cost didn't increase too much, I feel that an onboard camera that can overlay what the user is seeing to show a 3rd party could help with that feeling. (Or if it already has a camera onboard, perhaps some better software to make casual sharing of your perspective easier)
That's an interesting thought that I think likely has some validity. It certainly doesn't keep east Asians from committing an awful lot of suicide, though.

When you're using hardware raid, server is able to read HDD temperatures and adjusts fans accordingly. When you're using AHCI, server can't read HDD sensors and turns fans higher. I'm not sure why it's implemented this way, but you can easily check it via iLo web interface. For me it's 20% fan vs 6% fan and I can distinguish it, I can hear 20% fan at silent night, but 6% fan is really silent, so my wife can sleep well.

If you don't have those problems with noise, it doesn't matter (and I would recommend to avoid those "hardware" raids, I have much more trust with widely used open source solutions).
Pauli's Exclusion Principle
The Switch doesn't have any NES or SNES games for it at all.
If life is there, completely disconnected from earth life, it would be dramatic. That would mean that our solar system, has life on at least two, out of nine planets. That would seem to indicate that life is a fairly common things on planets. It would allow to adjust the drake equation, to easily predict millions of planets with life. And that would mean a high probability of many advanced, intelligent civilizations on the universe.

For me it's been shipping issues. At some point Amazon became really unreliable with their delivery date "guarantees". I've had four separate packages simply not arrive at all, and plenty more that were a few days to a week late. Confusingly, the Amazon app seems to mark a package as "delivered" when the estimated date is reached, regardless of its actual status. When you dig into the tracking information, sometimes it shows a "shipping in progress, expected delivery:" message with a date in the past, other times a note that "something seems wrong here, we're not sure where your package is". This suggests disorganization in a company that talks itself up as a logistics giant.

Upon calling support, you of course learn that their use of the word "guarantee" is meaningless. Even if you're paying $99/year for it with Prime, the best they'll do is (attempt to) send a replacement shipment.

This actually matters for my custom tiny ~5x4 pixel font on 4K screens, but I'm still using the infant lowercase 'a'. Partly because I can't seem to recreate the double-stacked a that I liked, and partly because it's very hard to fit into the 5x4 grid. But the end result is that there's less than a pixel difference between my 'a' and my 'o': A solid pixel instead of an AAed one.

I'm willing to ride with this format. Magazines tend to be disposable except for when they have a particularly impactful in-depth piece or themed issue. This format is all themed issues with in-depth pieces. It also allows Stripe to focus resources more effectively on the supposed goal of delivering evergreen authoritative recommendations. This is something that is sorely lacking in the current environment where anything over 6-months old is often unusable.

The internet currently provides more breadth in the area than a single person could possibly need. I laud the focus on depth.

Here's the paper mentioned in the article ...

Cassini finds molecular hydrogen in the Enceladus plume: Evidence for hydrothermal processes

> Saturn's moon Enceladus has a subsurface ocean covered by a layer of ice. Some liquid escapes into space through cracks in the ice, which is the source of one of Saturn's rings. In October 2015, the Cassini spacecraft flew directly through the plume of escaping material and sampled its chemical composition. Waite et al. found that the plume contains molecular hydrogen, H2, a sign that the water in Enceladus' ocean is reacting with rocks through hydrothermal processes (see the Perspective by Seewald). This drives the ocean out of chemical equilibrium, in a similar way to water around Earth's hydrothermal vents, potentially providing a source of chemical energy.

The thing is, that takes family members who actually respect your boundaries. I've read numerous anecdotes on discussions like this from other people who just don't have that luxury; their spouse and/or kids simply do not get it. One guy said he finally rented a little office for $500/month (or whatever), and showed his wife the bill. Then she freaked out and committed to not bother him at home, and got him to cancel his rental (though he still lost out on that 1 month's rent). And how you get some kids to respect your boundaries, I have no idea. Your kids sound great, but I've seen other kids who simply would not do this, no matter what.
Go to Europe, poor people ride the bus the better-off use a bike.

This was my impression from the United States, too, but then numbers made me look again, and I started to notice a lot of people who didn't fit my assumptions. The image that makes me think "bike commuter" is someone briskly riding a practical, efficient bike with a laptop bag of some kind, so I was ignoring a lot of other people who are often not carrying anything, not riding very fast, riding an ill-fitting bike or one not particularly suited for commuting. It never occurred to me that those people might be riding to work.
