This article only scratches the surface, I think.

One thing that is worth clarifying IMO: There is nothing inherently “scientific” about Sanskrit as a language by itself: instead what's remarkable are

1. the Sanskrit grammatical tradition, as represented especially by Pāṇini. The Sanskrit grammarians paid special attention to language, and their careful study culminated in a grammar by Pāṇini that was centuries ahead of its time, and is still throwing up new insights. The last several generations of modern linguists have read their own ideas into Pāṇini: from William Jones at the start of historical linguistics to de Saussure to Chomsky to Kiparsky. (The last of whom is an expert in both Sanskrit and modern linguistics.) Panini occupies a place in Indian thought equivalent to that of Euclid in Greek, and explicit comparisons have been drawn between the two. (E.g. all students were expected to master them respectively, these were the sciences that all others sought to emulate, ...) (I remember reading somewhere something to the effect that: among achievements of civilizations, the Egyptians have their pyramids and India has Panini's grammar.)

2. the cultural fact that, Pāṇini's grammar having been so exhaustive/complete, it became regarded as the definition of correct Sanskrit, and culturally for centuries everyone who composes in Sanskrit has just chosen to stick to this grammar. This "froze" Sanskrit and gives it a timeless quality: Sanskrit poets composing today use the same language that would have been comprehensible centuries ago; learning this one language opens up literature spanning 2500 years. With other languages that evolve naturally, this is difficult: even Shakespeare's (early) modern English is difficult for many.
My entire office is grieving.

Given how well received Maple was, I have to wonder if this is one of those problems where scaling actually killed the company, due to negative unit economics.
Is TSLA stock at the wrong value? Let's layout the numbers:

- Market cap: 50B

- Expected return on capital: 10%

- Expectable profit margin: 10%

- Expectable average unitary price: 50k

50B*10%/10%/50k = 1 million vehicles.

Tesla is selling about 80k vehicles yearly (at about double the above average sales price): http://www.ibtimes.com/tesla-motors-tsla-1q-2016-sales-14820...

The current valuation requires an increase in volume of five to ten times. Given the sales volume evolution of the current product lineup and the entry in a lower segment, it's definitely not out of reach in a five year horizon. Add up to five years to pay accrued debt (it should amount to about 10B before Tesla reaches steady state in the known product lineup).

All numbers are order-of-magnitude precision, but they surely do not point to a «certainly "wrong" stock value».
Likely because it's tangential to the primary focus of the submission without really providing relevance, is largely based on personal opinion, and touches on incendiary political topics in a way that doesn't really further the discussion.

It's also slightly ironic that the complaint was that John Oliver makes the issue about Trump too much, and then the commenter introduces trump into this discussion. "It's nice that he's not bashing Trump finally. Now let's take this reprieve and specifically call that out so we can talk more about Trump." While likely not the intention of the GP, that's what it ends up being in practice if it's not curbed.

Why some digital companies should delay profitability for as long as possible
Believe me, I've considered it. For now, I'm content to take over parenting for a good chunk of the weekend, which gives the working mama a break and chance to prep for the next week. I'm banking on a big enough exit imminent before the baby hits 4 years old so that I never have to work again if I don't want to.

Failing that rough time frame, it's off to a big firm or government where hours are tightly defined. As you're alluding to, time is too precious a resource to squander. I joined this last company not long ago and I'm very enthusiastic about it, but this is the last start-up I can see myself doing. Unless someone is independently wealthy, I don't see how the commitment it takes is an acceptable sacrifice for a full and satisfying life once kids come into the picture.
Looking at Comcast's webpage on this:

http://corporate.comcast.com/comcast-voices/comcast-supports...

They're arguing that Title II Classification is not the same as Net Neutrality, with the following statement:

"Title II is a source of authority to impose enforceable net neutrality rules. Title II is not net neutrality. Getting rid of Title II does not mean that we are repealing net neutrality protections for American consumers.

We want to be very clear: As Brian Roberts, our Chairman and CEO stated, and as Dave Watson, President and CEO of Comcast Cable writes in his blog post today, we have and will continue to support strong, legally enforceable net neutrality protections that ensure a free and Open Internet* for our customers, with consumers able to access any and all the lawful content they want at any time. Our business practices ensure these protections for our customers and will continue to do so."*

So if Title II goes away, where do those strong, legally enforceable net neutrality protections come from? Wasn't that the reasoning behind Title II in the first place, it's the only effectively strong, legally enforceable way of protecting net neutrality (vs other methods with loopholes)?
It's mostly hard for me because of... some weird mix of biology and psychology, I guess. Since the end of highschool, I'm incapable of maintaining a "morning person" lifestyle for longer than half a week, full week at best. Nevertheless, I do appreciate the benefits of having some time alone in the office, when I can focus.
Yeah that "reloading " process is hard for me as well, which is why I wear headphones. But some people don't respect headphones! They still interrupt with trivial bs, even after you've given them every possible nonverbal clue that you're trying to get shit done!
I wish I could upvote you 1000 times. Wycliffe and Tyndale were hugely instrumental.
I'll tell you, with 100% conviction, that I would not be alive today without prescription antidepressants and mood stabilizers. Of course there are side effects, and it can take a while to find the right drug or combination of drugs for your particular brain chemistry. In most cases, I've considered the side effects worth the improvement to my life. Even with them, I'm still not completely "normal". These symptoms are with me for the rest of my life barring some amazing medical discovery.

Mental health issues as a whole are difficult to bring up, even to a doctor. I actually worry about writing this on my real account. It's looked down on as if "you just can't handle life" so you "just feel sad". Chemotherapy is also a very unpleasant experience, but I don't think there would be much interest in an article about some imagined overprescription of chemotherapy.
This concern was always supposed to be handled by algorithm whitelists. The _intent_ was that services would consult a whitelist of algorithms before accepting a particular JWT.

The idea was certainly not that services blindly accept any token from every algorithm shipped in the library.

Your browser supports TLS 1.0, should you throw it out?

JWT has a built-in mechanism for handling this: expirations.
I am in the same situation, I have more domains/ideas than time. Now even more as I'm focusing on a single project to try to deliver something bigger.
Disappointed, fine, but you certainly shouldn't be surprised. This is the guy who was slamming China and globalization while producing his goods there.

He was a hypocrite all through the campaign trail, why would you be surprised he's continuing that trend?

The difference between 'trading' and 'investing'. Trading is buying and selling stock, or more often stock derivatives, based on an anticipation of the stocks movement. Investing is buying or selling stock based on an evaluation of a company's value over a longer time frame.[1]

He, like some others, can't figure out why people like Tesla's stock. And because of that he has bet it will go down when those investors 'wake up' to the reality as he sees it. The problem is you can't really know which reality is 'correct' until later looking back.

People who value Tesla as a car company value it one way, people to value it as an energy company value it a different way. Who is right? We won't know for another 5 years at least.

[1] Yes there is this weird marginal point where either definition might apply. But derivatives are (for me) always a 'trading' play.
Exploring Sparsity in Recurrent Neural Networks
Surprisingly little! Now that my project for behavioral and cognitive changes (http://willyoudidyou.com) is built out, a lot of my writing is actually... writing. Which is something I never thought I would be doing, as a web developer launching a software project.

So a lot of my energy has shifted from wring clean(ish) and maintainable(ish) code, to writing coherent articles for content marketing.

But when I was building it out? some days I would sling quite a lot. Other days were spent just tinkering with CSS to get the layout or experience down right, or doing research on the best way to do something.

Some people also, write really fast code. and other people are more methodical. So, take any comparisons you make in that regard with some salt; what's possible for others might not be for you, and visa versa.

But generally, the expectations are based on todos like adding a feature or interface, which is known to represent some kind of easy/medium/hard difficulty - which may also be contextual to the developer when domain knowledge comes into play. So the expectations vary from one dev to another based on experience, familiarity, and known unknowns.

My business is built on CGI scripts for processing automated webhooks. There's several non-trivial benefits:

1. Nothing running 24/7. No services to monitor, very light on memory.
2. Immune to memory leaks and bloat. Guaranteed fresh state on every request.

It's not ideal for user-facing functionality but has proven extremely reliable and maint-free. My goal was to use something that would require no recurring maintenance, unlike all modern web tech. All that is running 24/7 is Apache.
Ah, so the hash is for the whole wiki, and not a single page?

A few thoughts from my own experiences:

A) They have been good with payment in the past, so there's still a chance they will settle up once their cash situation is sorted out. The key thing here is to keep your needs on their mind. Meaning: calling them 1-2 times a week, checking up on the status of payment, sending emails checking in on the status of payment. Escalate as needed, letting them know you are willing to pursue any avenue to get paid.

B) Do you have any leverage? There's a reason why any developer or development company worth it's salt demands an up-front deposit and deliverables on final payment - to ensure that they get paid.

C) If they're running low on money they are going to look for something that's going to give. They will have to make hard decisions, and if you appear to be the path of least resistance, they will take you. Refer back to point A. If you can stay on the forefront of their minds and make it clear you're not going away they will be more likely to prioritize paying you instead of paying vendor X.

D) Lawyer up? Probably. If they continue to be non-responsive to payment inquiries consult with a lawyer and see if he'll write up a demand letter. Again, they're not prioritizing paying you and a simple demand letter may be enough to get their attention and put you at the top of the stack. A lawyer can also help you escalate as needed including who to sue, when to sue, and where to file a lawsuit. At $25k this should be well beyond any small claims court.

E) If they're broke or going out of business you're going to have to be a hard ass to see any of this money. And you have to determine if the trade-offs are worth it. Assume it will cost you at least $5k in time, lawyer fees, debt collector fees to get to payment. Do you want to risk the time and money? You might spend the $5k and still end up with nothing. So think of any amount you'd be willing to settle for, including any lawyer fees.

The BBC History Extra podcast has an interview[1] with Professor Roper about her new book (the subject of the article), and she more or less agrees with your statement about the likelihood of a Reformation with or without Luther, as does the review posted. However, there is much about the tone and vector of the Reformation that may have more to do with Luther's particular idiom than a pure attribution to technology would give credit for. It's difficult to choose either extreme when it comes to conversations about whether history is dictated by the acts of great people, or great people are merely byproducts of the inevitable current of history. I'd hesitate to get behind any single 'answer' to any of these questions.

Could they be disabled by electromagnetic pulse??
That's a great explanation. After we got married, my wife and I tried to both hold demanding jobs. She had been a single mother so she had to work a job that made enough to support her household. That didn't work for our marriage or our children. She took a lower paying job in education that she enjoys, with great health insurance that allowed her to have the same schedule as our children.

That allowed me to focus on work, taking great jobs with no benefits (contracting), and it was best for the whole family. If her passion hadn't been around working with kids and she had been a job that required her to work long hours, I don't see how we could have managed. It was a win/win decision. We both got to have fulfilling jobs we enjoyed.

I've also seen it go the other way, especially in tech. Where the wife had a demanding job where she had to travel a lot and the husband was a developer who made sure he had a job where he could work from home when he needed to.
> slapping some taxes on imports

Then other countries slaps taxes on their imports in retaliation, and then US exports are equally hurt... causing other economic contractions that could similarly "destroy local economies." And everything gets more expensive for everyone.

This is generally always what happens when you try to raise import taxes. One example from history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot%E2%80%93Hawley_Tariff_Ac...
The US did an almost similar thing

Not an almost similar thing. Effectively the exact same thing, including the flagrant disregard of IP, etc.

It's worth thinking about when discussing what countries "should" and "shouldn't" do, as you note.
I think I've whined about downvotes (specific ones and in general terms) in the distant past (it gets you nowhere, and is boring) and I think they often cause the kind of negativity this site otherwise attempts to avoid, but in this case maybe some people just disagree with you on the tangential subject you brought up, but didn't want to get into a discussion about it with you, or didn't want to see a discussion on that subject float to the top.

Tell that to the dandelions.
Some things to consider:
-Options that aren't better (especially for non-developer role) or not entirely sure what area of tech you want to work for besides Google, Amazon but can't get in.
-Work that you may like to do if you were in a better more supportive team.
-It might not even be tons of money, but enough to pay bills and save a bit, and better paying then many other industries
-Not ready to start all over again especially if you had a new job every 2 years (sometimes with the same company but still, the context switching is too much now)
-Visa, not easy to move from company to company

But yes it does suck to question oneself all the time on whether to switch it up or not
"Anonymized" aggregate data is not as anonymous as you might think. This study [1] was able to accurately de-anonymize users based on internet history and public social media 70% of the time.

Do you trust the Trump administration and Ajit Pai to listen to the public at that point? I sure as fuck don't. You're right that I don't know of any instances of the sort of censorship people are afraid of, but once they start happening, I have zero faith that the (current) government will protect consumers' rights.
>> Sympathetic nerves are damaged by over-release of noradrenaline, which causes them to withdraw from the immune cells that they should be moderating. As the disease progresses, these nerves advance back into the tissues that they abandoned — but they do so in abnormal ways, making connections with different subsets of immune cells. These rearranged neural pathways actually maintain inflammation rather than dampen it.

That seems to fit eerily well with my experience. I most likely have an autoimmune condition, and, whenever​ I am sufficiently active to the point where I feel the adrenaline going, afterward I feel feverish and have a malaise. It explains it perfectly if sympathetic activation serves to kick the T cells out and stir up inflammation.

I hope they do this research posthaste. I think I can personally benefit.
Just open a surf shop or a tour company since you like it. Automate shit out of it and hire locals, you are your own engineer.

I don’t see why not. Diversifying is always a good idea. Web-dev is a good source of income to fund these endeavors. You have all the cards up your sleeve IMO.
Yeah, not for me. My experience with building stuff on my own: Very stressful and long winding, a lot of procrastination and unsocial habbits start to creep in after a week, solution is not really valuable to anybody since nobody is familiar with it.

The biggest, most used solutions I helped building usually happened when I cooperated with others. The same discussions that happen in your head, just that part of it is coming from another brain.
This was also my thought when I made the comment...

I am sure that for certain use cases, there are more tailored solutions, but "SQL + keystore" seems like a fairly universal, affordable and versatile stack.

Try to make your commute part of your workday? Even if you left at 7am, worked on the train, worked in the office till 4 then home at 6, it would make a big difference to your life.

How is Wikipedia censored in Turkey? Are providers threatened to be punished if they resolve DNS queries for wikipedia.org? Or are they threatened to be punished if they transport TCP/IP packets with IPs that belong to Wikipedia?

Wouldn't both be trivial to go around? For DNS, one could simply use a DNS server outside Turkey. For TCP/IP packets, one could set up a $5 proxy on any provider from around the world.

ah, I wasn't trying to imply that Haskell was a JVM language (I know it has its own compiler- GHC), I was referring to Scala and Clojure. I should have probably used a semicolon in between those two instead of a comma!

> having a ubiquitous null object in your language that's "falsey" is responsible for a lot of problems like what you describe

In practice I haven't really seen this causing problems, for languages like Ruby and Elixir where the only "falsey" values are nil and false. And it enables some very readable code.

Having read the book recently (within the past couple years) it also has a portion near the beginning describing GTD as a toolkit more than a system proper (probably me paraphrasing, but not treating it as dogma is part of it). Take what works and mold it for your own practice. It's not dogma, mistaking the text for dogma is how we ended up with Agile consultants.

Even if you do treat that as a mantra, another part of GTD is prioritization. If you aren't getting your real obligations done because of all these 5-minute tasks, then you're not prioritizing properly.

That's a good distillation of the concept. The idea of doing the quick stuff immediately is to prevent a massive backlog later that drains you even more. Even things like checking your email can be done less frequently to prevent unnecessary context switches. Check your email 2-5 times a day instead of leaving it open all the time. When you open it and see a bunch of short tasks, do them or schedule them (with a preference to doing to prevent that accidental backlog), then resume your work. If it's taken you 30 minutes (or some arbitrary, personal limit), switch back to your main tasks and get back to the email again later.
This week I'm trying to negotiate a remote work policy with my employer. Keep your fingers crossed :). The thing is, I actually like my work, and like my company. But due to mostly family reasons, I'd like it much more if I could spend at least 3 days / week out of the office. Long-term, I'll either relocate with my SO back to a major city, or I'll go freelance.
