Thanks for the detailed analysis. Will take this into consideration. Did not understand the point about taking care of the workers. Did you mean the employees? If so, then yeah, we have had almost zero attrition. There are people who have stuck with us for the past 8 years. So guess, they are well taken care of :)

But how would I present that on the website? Any ideas? Thanks!
Like a lot of stuff that comes out of the rationalists -- autodidacts with a background in stats have decided that reading research papers on their own is a sufficient approach to knowledge, with often pretty messy results.
Formalizing or describing something is not the same as "deducing a boolean value". But I can ask GNU Maxima to give me a list of all numbers that satisfy the equation x+1=x-1, and it will happily tell me that there is no such number. Maxima doesn't support self-referential propositional logic, but a solver that can identify that no truth value can support "this sentence is false" doesn't need to do anything more mystical than test both cases - no "polynomial search algorithm" required.

You are suggesting that "human consciousness" is a separate, ineffable thing from a "purely logical system", but I don't see any reason a computer couldn't do what your brain is doing. You can't tell me the truth value of the sentence either.
People following you, knocking on your door, speaking Spanish (which I presume you/your ex-employer don't) are both all trademark symptoms and things that a company that fired you is extremely unlikely to do (because why would they?).

Seriously, please go see a shrink. If I'm completely wrong, the cost is pretty low, but if there is something to this, it may change your life.

I rarely post on Facebook any more. Finding something agreeable to all my friends and family and still being authentic to myself is hard, and a losing game.

Instagram can be made into something that is not just a mirror of your Facebook. If there's little difference between the two, you end up with the same problems - FOMO, envy, self-loathing. Instead, if you follow artists/photographers/creatives, you can find an interesting, beautiful world. Of course, there's a tension here. The more popular someone is, the more likely their feed is to devolve into brand endorsements. That commercial force corrupts.

So while its possible for instagram to be less superficial that Facebook, its a constant battle.
It's "only" ten miles, but it connects BART with VTA's light rail system, which means that the 8 miles to Sunnyvale from Great Mall. Given that part of the schedule changes planned for once BART starts is a Mountain View - Alum Rock line, Sunnyvale is a single transfer away. One of the things BART will do is create proper transit hubs in east San Jose, so that a lot more trips have decent transfers and connections.
All data is exportable from the reports page. Looks like I fail to mention that in the about text, I'll add it there.
That's only works if

a) cost is high enough compared to your income

b) you are a reasonable person, and value your money enough to care

I tried to use this tactic many times, mostly to hone my programming skills - didn't work. Damn, I recently entered a postgraduate program at the university, for 2500$ cost - didn't help much, still can't force myself to spend more time learning things.
These are great names!
Yeah but it takes a second for me to clue in.
And if they did get $600 in donations in the last year... they should dedicate all of that to the Mac build? Even if they've already spent those funds on hosting and other expenses?

A user of a free product telling the developer of said free product how the developer should be spending the money that said user isn't giving them takes a special kind of entitlement.
I force myself to bounce between reading a book and working, the computer is mostly a tool to get work done / research things quickly now for me. It's super boring in the immediate but rewarding once you put the work in which is a stark contrast to constantly coding -> compiling and filling up that instant gratification meter.
You're still looking at NAT as used to masquerade the hosts on a LAN (often with RFC 1918 private addresses) so they appear as a single public internet address. That is actually one of the fancier uses of NAT, and it's almost always combined with a firewall/etc.

RFC 2663 defines[1] a "Basic NAT" as a one-to-one mapping of IP addresses. This can be useful as a way to combine two separate IP networks that share addresses. If you have two networks using the 10.1.x.y range, you could connect them with a Basic NAT so they each see the opposite network as addresses in the 10.2.x.y range.

NAT is just about the Address Translation. Routing is a separate feature, and dropping packets is a separate feature that can be left out, even if those are rare situations.

> but also the actual NAT process

Often you don't even need the NAT process to be involved. Send a packet to a NAT route with the internal destination address, and some routers will simply route the packet directly. Enabling the Source Routing options can also force packets to a specific host by guessing the local address, which is easy when everybody uses 192.168.1.x or other private addresses behind their NAT. Fortunately, this generally isn't possible anymore because LSRR is now usually dropped at the firewall.

If NAT sounds like a mess, it is. NAT is a shameless subversion of the "end-to-end principle, which has set network software development back decades.

Not sure anybody need care whose "fault" it is; the most empowering viewpoint is to assume it's always your own.
(Which optimistically implies that you can change it, since you're the one doing it.) But as for Facebook being a similar timesuck to TV or radio back in the day, it definitely is. The parallels are many, not least of which are similar ubiquity, similar motivations (to show you advertising), and similar gimmicks to keep your attention even when you might otherwise - god forbid - get the idea to go do something else.

Your checklist is wrong.

The checklist should be :-)

2) how are you going to acquire customers?

3) how are you going to acquire customers?

4) how are you going to acquire customers?

5) how are you going to be better than competition?
Rotate them. Show fewer than 100 at any given time.
I did that before as well. Then Facebook re-followed most of my list. I then manually unfollowed them again, and slowly every day posts pop up and people get re-followed. Fuck Facebook.
Can't you just disable notifications from the Facebook app? Android allows it, and I reckon iOS does too. I found this to be a nice solution to deal with obnoxious apps because you remove the annoyance but can still use them should the need arise.

The Secret History of Star Wars
The most likely culprit, it emerged, was that the "collective" and "petty" forms of corruption, as witnessed by Dr Borcan herself, had a curious effect: they might be paid for chiefly by well-off students bribing invigilators, but everyone benefited. It gave the poorer students "a free ride" to higher marks.

It's poorly worded but they seem to hypothesise that poorer students were sort of piggy backing off of those who paid for the cheats. So they were cheating too.
Sometimes I also fall for "treating women like men" and then​ I realize they perceive & react differently to their surroundings

Once a soccerball almost landed on the head of my daughter (could have broken her scull) and my wife was standing 100% unaware next to her (and not catching the ball): Luckily the ball just touched my daughter's cheek (when returning from the sky) and made her _only_ cry

I was showing off how high I could kick a (real) soccerball to my family. Highly idiotic in hindsight. BUT: I was looking out for my son and my wife for my daughter......

We are constantly told (especially by girls/women) that there is no difference and it's convenient to believe it. Is part of being a women denying differences between man and women? Is that just another skill they want to have in us men, that we make them feel 'not different at all'? Are men looking/searching for different skills/things in women ;)?

Article seems not very well written. Even the initial "You might expect a less corrupt exam system to allow ability to shine through regardless of the economic status of the students" doesn't make sense on its face.

Why would I think exam cheating would influence structural problems, advantages and disadvantages, associated with SES levels? Getting rid of cheating doesn't get rid of private tutors, better equipped schools, less distracting home environments, etc.
I encourage everyone in tech to read Unlocking the Clubhouse, by Margolis et al. It doesn't quite propose how to solve the problem, but it certainly teases out a number of contributing factors. I think in the case in point, the importance of being encouraged/discouraged depending on gender cannot be understated. Of course, to the individual involved it'll feel 'normal' since it has always been that way, but on a societal level it is blatantly obvious that children are moulded into gendered expectation patterns from literally the moment they're born. (As to that last assertion, there's a study floating around on how adults react to a baby crying then told the child is either male or female. Quite saddening.)
Alternate/additional explanation for the findings: cheating continued after the campaign, but wealthier students were less afraid of the consequences than poor students.
Debian 8: 8.8 released
Chromium in Debian. I installed Firefox now and it does work.

I'm not going to migrate from Org-Mode and Emacs as I'm too invested there but I find Flow Dashboard a very good project for people who are new to Quantified Self and doesn't want to spend dozens/hundreds of hours setting up their own system or don't need that level of detail/features.

Anyway, these are some features which I miss:

- Being able to clock inside tasks. Also expected time to completion of the task so you can adjust future predictions.

- Child tasks. At least projects should have them. Common tasks may just have checklists.

- Good editor and markdown support for the journal.

- Integration with some finance/budgeting app like YNAB or Ledger.

- Work without Google AppEngine. My journal shouldn't be a hack or a search warrant away. Too sensitive.

- Being able to schedule the tasks and habits. Maybe integration with Google Calendar, but privacy again..
Did you wear onions on your belts?
It's not a waste of time to develop in-house tools, sometimes in-house tools become the future of a company.

For small businesses there's definitely a market for automation platforms but there's a lot of problems in actually selling these products. You either focus on a key area where they already have a solution they don't question or you go too broad and confuse the people you're selling to. Like let's be honest, your tool can't build everything.

I think the question you gotta ask is why is your tool builder better than the frameworks and resources that devs already have available to them.
OpenBSD as a Linux Desktop Replacement (2015)
I think this is what Flatpak is trying to solve - each application is run in its own sandbox and requests its own priviledges in a manifest file.

It is currently in a pretty early stage of development, but it's usable and looks pretty great. Maybe this time creating a new package manager will make the package manager wars on Linux quieter :)

Building Linux Firewalls with Good Old Iptables

Here is theirs blog post introducing the feature in 2012:

> Chrome also does checks on executable files (like ".exe" and ".msi" files). If the executable doesn't match a whitelist, Chrome checks with Google for more information, such as whether the website you're accessing hosts a high number of malicious downloads.

At the time I looked at the implementation in the Chrome source code, but I remember that it took me a while to locate it.
Tens of thousands of people join gyms for the same reason and stop after a few weeks.
Fun thing; I named Umbrella JS that way when i realized that you can use unicode as javascript variable names AND I just happened to find that as the first one. So the initial library (a jQuery sustitute) was literaly `"UMBRELLA UNICODE"('selector')` (note: HN doesn't allow for the character). Of course sanity came back and when releasing something decent I changed the name back to "u('selector')"

See the character I mean: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2602/index.htm
There was no indication that your statements were supposed to be ironic, sarcastic, or satirical. Plenty of people are here saying exactly the same things and they're dead serious. So either you're lying or you don't know how to do satire properly. Your persistence suggests it's not the second. Creating two accounts for one discussion does nothing for your credibility either.
No, it won't, it is isolated from the rest of the system and only does things in /nix directory.

The author mentions the importance of accumulative advantage a number of times,not just consistent advantage. The former being a positive feedback loop (that is also a negative feedback loop for competitors).
The reason for that is there are all kinds of rules about what you can name your drug. Can't sound like anything else. Can't suggest any effects it doesn't have. Etc. Made up words are pretty much the only safe bet. From there you want to make up a word that's memorable and short so it stands out and people remember it.

Nope, it does a lot more: it re-packages software, and basically shoves a second package manager down my throat; one that actually bundles dependencies within in package, carrying along all the issues that that flow brings with it.

I want to isolate data, no libraries. Libraries are there to be shared.
Yeah my bad, it probably says "connections limit", I don't have time to figure out my way around it; other devs may do thought. I just want to fire it up and start working.
Yep. I was in such an exam, and there was a voluntary collection of money to bribe the invigilators. I didn't pay in and was looked down because. I didn't cheat, but I could have if I wanted.

More interestingly, the teachers (which were the invigilators) rationalized this as "everybody is cheating, if you don't than the stupid kids from the country side would have bigger grades than you, so you should cheat too" (I was in an elite school).

The bribe was not huge (around $50 total sum per class per exam), so I don't think it wasn't the primary motivator for the teachers. Way more money was made by private untaxed tutoring.

It's far safer to make a product for a market that you know exists, rather than build a product and try to find a market. You differentiate yourself by providing more value than your competitors, whether it's a novel feature, better service, etc. There is obviously an element of risk/reward - if you go for a potentially unknown market, e.g. you have a cool idea and think people will buy it, then you could make a much better return as the only player. Or you find out that there's no market and you crash and burn.
Yeah, creating a new OS/distribution will never fix the problem. You can't tell people "Oh, just wipe everything clean and installing this other OS".

It needs to build on top of what we have, otherwise adoption will never take place.

It's not censorship, it's filtering fake news. It's telling that it's always far-right conservatives making this complaint.
New York City experienced a similar reality.

They aimed to help poor and disenfranchised groups get into their specialized public schools, by forcing a meritocracy, as disproportionately wealthy and white families were accepted because admittance was previously too discretionary and lots of excuses were made about why (hm sounds familiar).

After the meritocracy was established it became disproportionately asian by a huuuuuge margin (stuyvesant high school being ~75% asian with the city having a ~10% asian population) while poor and disenfranchised groups are still poor and disenfranchised. Just even more apparently now.

This is no comment about meritocracies, it is about illuminating how far off base a governing body will be at promoting a particular outcome.
A similar phenomenon are the various ways people try to trick their procrastination habit, not with money (fake price) but with time (fake priorities).

However, as you correctly noticed, these techniques don't work well. That's normal, don't worry if these simple solutions don't work. Maybe you think they should work, because you often hear from people for whom "that one weird trick" worked. Or that one complicated technique. But usually these are the same people who try to sell you their book on that topic.

Instead, you need to the root of this issues, which may involve finding your true priorities, and may involve actively changing your habits. All this may be really hard, and you'll fail and retry many times - especially when trying to do this alone. Heck, there's a whole profession around helping people to fix these types of issues - some of them are highly qualified, others are charlatans. (The latter often call themselves "coaches" as that term doesn't require much qualification, so that they can't be sued if they do a bad job.)
