Thanks for that. The gitosis approach of a single shared unix account (typically `git`) with git-shell and a master authorized_keys file definitely seems simpler. You lose some of the auditing and security benefits of the one-unix-account-per-human approach, but that might be fine for some use cases.
Ask HN: Idea for a Mind Map search engine
Here is the project repository :
https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge-map-search-engine

I want to create a search engine that would allow one to search for interactive mind maps that provide resources on how to learn any topic on Earth in the most efficient step by step manner.

The search engine is essentially an extension of a big interactive mind map that can be seen here :

I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you wish something like this would exist?
This is how Drivatar works in Forza Motorsport. It was first trained and tuned offline internally at Turn 10 to give opponents personality traits and driving style (Forza 2, ah, that damn M. Rossi!), then trained from the player as well and used offline (IIRC Forza 3 had AI progress vanish after the race while 4 persisted it across races. Anyway I loved how the opponents would ostensibly start to use my own tricks and lines against me, making each lap harder than the previous one), and finally starting with Forza 5 and 6 you could have your own AI that would play as you online with your own driving style while you were away, and if it was winning, you'd get some cash.

It's hard to compare Here Maps and Google Maps here. It's out of question that Google Maps provide a superior experience as compared to Here maps. But all the Google Maps imagery is processed, even while using the 2D option ( This is true only for countries with street view, from my observation. It's brilliant how they use street view along with satellite imagery to make a 3D model ). For my country India, the quality of images are slightly better on Google Maps, whereas when I check for other locations like Beijing, Here Maps seem slightly better than Google. It's weird how image quality change from country to country. It must have something to do with how they use their resources to provide best quality to probable customers and also country specific laws might apply for releasing satellite imagery.

Just because the code might be opened up doesn't mean the nagware would have to go away. One underlooked option is to keep it and release under GPL. It's not well known, but GPL more or less protects nag screens. No one would be able to patch and distribute modified versions for the express purpose of disabling the nag screen without violating the license. The author would be able to sell his or her own builds without the nag screen, just like today.

With an over abundance of excellent breweries and tons of data I'll forgive any of these lists (top breweries, top beers, best cities etc) for introducing some form of bias. It's inevitable.

One flaw I will take issue with in the 'microbrew capital' list is that it's somewhat irrelevant when you take into account distribution. Hill Farmstead and The Alchemist will make anyone's top ten yet they are not in catchment for Burlington VT.

I'm also truly surprised not to see Boston show up anywhere on this list no matter how I tweak the inputs. There are multiple dozens of breweries within the metro area.

Without question, Portland ME is a mecca. But MA & VT cities don't seem to make the cut while clearly over representing in the 'top' lists?

I'll take this list with a pinch of Irish Moss to damp it down a little.

Here's one of the more compelling brewery reports I've seen recently

It really does add complexity:

-I have to store the cached token somewhere:

-I have to do date arithmetic, what if my server clock is incorrect,

-if an API call failed, I have to check for an additional error: a invalid token

I don't mind complexity when it is needed, but I do not prefer complexity for no good reason.

That being said, can it really be cached up to a week? I see "at most 24 hours", which means it could be even less than 24 hours, so there's no guarantee. Please see:

I'm pretty sure that many people have had conflicting ideas about what the government is "definitively" allowed to do or not do, which is what things like the courts and the legislature are for - to decide those things, and ratify clarifications and changes if needed. "Constitutional Law" is not an easy thing for a lay person to interpret.

>Typically strict rules are given punitive reasons as motivation for following, not some intrinsic rationale within the rule -- and that's precisely the difference.

No, that's the strawman. Rules without explanations. It has nothing to do with punitive enforcement.

>"Wash the dishes or you'll be sent to your room" doesn't teach why you should wash the dishes, only that you'll be punished for not doing so.

Strawman again. The unexplained reasoning is the problem, not the punitive action.

>The punitive approach requires no brainpower to follow, there's no specific reason why the effect (punishment) follows from cause (not washing the dishes)

Ugh, I hope I made the point clear above, but I'll state it one last time: punitive punishments are not the same as unexplained rules.

The rest of your comment is based on this strawman assumption that all parenting using punitive actions follows this stupid method of not explaining rules. It's just as dumb as assuming the opposite (i.e. parents that don't punish children don't teach their children any morals).

I'm in Portland right now. The number of breweries in Oregon is mind blowing. I just visited a town of 7,000 people that has multiple craft breweries[1]. The reason Oregon has so many is the hipster foodie demographic, good water, a most importantly a plentiful supply of both hops[2] and barley from Pacific Northwest farms.

I've been living in my pickup truck for about a year while rock climbing, skiing, hiking, and not working. A pickup is not a van, and definitely makes things like cooking or just hanging out less enjoyable. Regardless of the space constraints, the biggest thing is the loneliness of the vagabond lifestyle. I actually kind of miss my coworkers. Most connections are ephemeral, like climbing with someone for a day before they take off to LA or Oregon. There's also some stress with finding places to park at night. You're almost always staying somewhere where you shouldn't quite be. I've spent some entire days just surfing around on the internet, not motivated to really go out and adventure. I'd agree with this blogpost https://theinspiredclimber.com/2014/05/14/romancing-the-dirt..., "don’t expect going on the road alone to fill the void in your life."

Like the parent commenter, I too have spilled my pee bottle in my living compartment.
Right, things/animals/people have value beyond their economic value. And to make decisions, we need to quantify in some way what this value is. To see this, consider a risk/cost curve for an environmental cleanup:

$100k : 1000 micromorts

$300k : 100 micromorts

$500k : 10 micromorts

$1m : 8 micromorts

$2m : 6 micromorts

$10m : 4 micromorts

$1b : 2 micromorts

$100b : 0.5 micromorts

Practically speaking, there is a need to make decisions which involve tradeoffs between money and other forms of value. Making these kinds of decisions rationally means quantifying non-economic forms of value.

Also, as more food for thought, consider the death penalty, in which a society deems that the true "value" of a person -- distinct from their economic value -- is negative.

> And they decide for all cases, independent of potentially mitigating factors.

That's why most laws have a wide band of potential punishments.

> I'd rather leave the cold rationality for writing the laws, and the empathy for interpreting them in a just manner.

It's typically a single person -- the judge -- who will select the punishment from the band of permissible punishments. So now we're taking a theoretical group decision made across a wide swath of society, and laying it down on a single person... This is already done to a large extent, except that the judge has minimum and maximum punishments to work between.

> Practice empathy in deciding whether to convict or acquit...

This has huge implications on rule-of-law. I'll just link to another thread where I argued against a very similar viewpoint:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11503910#11504703

> There's a myriad of reasons why this is a bad thing for society. For example, white supremacy groups not being arrested or charged with crimes because all the cops and DAs and judges are also white supremacists. If it's truly within their world-view that a lynching is not wrong, then according to your theory it's their responsibility to not arrest or charge for it. This viewpoint is directly opposed to the rule of law.

The thing is most simple game AI isn't challenging. Or it's challenging in boring ways. Like having 100% perfect aim or long health bars. It's awesome to have an AI that is challenging by actually being good at the game. Having some actual strategy and intelligence.

It's a complete misconception that "real AI" needs to be super hard. Give it realistic constraints like slow reaction times or noisy input. You can handicap it in many ways to control the difficulty. Modern chess engines can easily beat even the best players in the world. But by limiting the number of moves they search, you can set one up that new players can beat.

My favorite game AI is from age of empires 2. All other RTSes just let the AI cheat like crazy to provide challenge. For AoE2 they went to a lot of work to design an expert system and a custom scripting language for it. Tons of features were implemented to make it easy to write relatively sophisticated AI strategies. And they documented it well and made it easy for modders to write even better AI scripts.

As a result the AI on hardest can beat all but skilled competitive players without cheating at all (at least the current AI shipped with the steam version.) It's actually fun to play against and isn't a terrible substitute for a real human player.

I'd really like them to offer their avatar system for other applications. Identity is so much part of social VR and it would be great to share it between apps.
Probably. Their RateBeer data indicates only 12 breweries, which seems like it's off by 2-4 fold? There must be at least 30 places within city limits, no? Maybe another 20 or so within 5-10 miles?

They also don't note the brands with East Coast production there like, say, Sierra Nevada and Oscar Blues, which would be hard to argue don't count as breweries.

Anyway, Santa Rosa is so small, it could really be the winner. But per capita, it would be hard to imagine anywhere else besides Asheville would be the spot.
Juries are one of those things you can write a good book about or have one of those tearful movies where the normal folk come through to make justice prevail in face of an evil prosecutor and police.

But the reality isn't that rosy. The sample size is far too small, and worst of all, juries amplify biases in the system. It's like inverting a matrix, great for a math proof but you never do that in practice.

Just take this writeup on a case in Britain:

http://www.cyclinguk.org/blog/duncandollimore/mason-verdict

She just straight rammed into the cyclist from behind. No braking, didn't even stop. But a jury of very likely overwhelmingly drivers have no problem to acquit when there is even the slightest hint of "hey, this could be something that might happen to me!".
The pages are so lacking in info right now that at first glance they appear worse than useless: something that anyone can point to and make any sort of rhetorical conclusion about and have supposed data to back it up. It not only needs the actual data (and...units?), but some broader context behind each data point. I assume these are in the works, but releasing it in this state, with this much press, is a potentially dangerous move for its future.
Unfortunately it looks like this isn't just confined to some touristy areas on Sukhimvit or Khao San road.

They are targeting the Thong Lor, Ekkamai and Phra Khanong districts too, specifically Soi Thong Lor, Soi Ekkamai, and Soi Pridi Banomyong: https://coconuts.co/bangkok/food-drink/first-soi-38-closed-s...

Completely ridiculous of course since street food is super delicious, affordable and remains one of Bangkok's biggest attractions. Hopefully this move doesn't spread to all of Bangkok, but who knows.

I get this, I really do. I had to feel like I was forcing myself at times to go, but I knew it was good for me to get out, meet like minded people with similar interests. My manager even encouraged me. You know what, I got my current dream job from it! It takes motivation, drive, and determination at times, but it can pay off. I'm 35, but it shouldn't matter what age you are. I am single, but I don't stay out late and I do have to get up early to start my day. I do live downtown though which helps (Austin). Which made going to the meet-ups no more than a 10 min walk to and from my work and apartment.
Boston is not surprising to me. As a Boston resident when I visit other major metropolitan areas they are exceeding Boston in microbrews and brewpubs, very likely due to cheaper real estate and maybe easier to navigate regulation.

Minneapolis is a great comparison, lots of breweries and tap rooms relatively speaking vs. Boston.
I found their data source interesting - "Only breweries with 3+ beers that were reviewed 10+ times and 50+ total reviews were included." In my city there are probably 12+ breweries, but almost none of them meet the requirements on RateBeer set out by this article to qualify.
Considering how little attention Alex Jones pays to reality, it seems pretty reasonable to call it "low-quality"... Although I understand that categorization is generally reserved from content farms choking to death on ads.
