Yes, it was a gruesome war. By Afghanistan and Iraq, I meant more insurgent type war rather than sanctioned armies fighting. Liberal states would have insurgent right wingers and Conservative states would have insurgent left wingers. Insurgents would be fighting the opposite faction of insurgent, and everyone will be armed to the teeth. We saw a glimpse of how that would play out in rural areas with the Oregon stand off. I suspect the cities would be something like we saw in Ukrane with their stand in the main square with the firewall, except a lot more shooting. There would be massive food shortages. It would be crazy and unpleasant and not a damn thing will have been resolved.

I realized I was being vague.

You're mostly right on your assessment - I don't intend it to be a good burner phone. There's the possibility to swap in GSM modems (thus changing IMEI) - except that the "manufacturer" part in IMEI is going to stay the same, or very similar, so it'd be like that story about a guy who sent in a bomb threat on his college campus through Tor, and it turned out he was the only one using Tor on the campus. IMO characteristics for a good burner phone are just like you're describing, and best practice is to throw those out or destroy them, after all.

And keep in mind that there's also the fact that you have to buy the phones somewhere - that can be tracked, whether it's a package from eBay with 10 similar phones or just a guy buying the cheapest prepaid phones in a supermarket.
Would it be possible for you to upload this to the AUR?

> if you have a community of people built around flames and attacks

The Linux community is not built around flames and attacks. Linus' flames are what get public attention, but that doesn't mean they are the majority, or even a significant minority, of all his communications. He has explained many times exactly what the conditions are under which he will flame--basically, that a kernel developer does something that he has already explained many, many times should never be done, like breaking userspace. Do something that meets those conditions, you get flamed. Don't do something like that, and you don't.
No. Go watch the video Houshalter linked.

The sensible and correct shortening is math. That's how it was originally shortened to. The brits went off-kilter in the 1900s and added the s to math.

Everyone, including brits, say mathematics IS difficult. Nobody says mathematics ARE difficult.
Really nice. Only used the web version. As a non native English speaker I learned a couple of words too.
My bad...sorry about that, I did mis-read the post. I've seen period use, but normal operations in $US transactions is not a period, but commas. $24,000,000. I originally mis-read it and thought $24,000.000 so I was thinking twenty-four thousand.
The display is an OLED, and its power draw is kinda negligible - so the worst offenders are still CPU, WiFi and GSM. I'm going to add an E-Ink display someday - mostly for experimentation, as hardware upgrades like this will require somebody developing and maintaining the softwaree, but it could very well be a really good addon.

As for "your ideal phone" - something similar might just be my next year's project, though sourcing the parts will be hard, for sure =)

We have gigantic amounts of real estate effectively unoccupied in the united states, we are 179th in terms of population density for countries (almost the very bottom.)

Immigrants do not add "minimal demand", immigrants drive significant demand and expand communities, for example, bloomberg reporting that gas prices dropping may have a contributing factor that immigrants driving less this summer.

Lastly, our use of technology means that nothing is a zero sum game, we have created industries and growth through the use of various pulses of migrants and they are one of the core pieces of american success.
Absolutely nothing. I have no idea why I wrote that.
I'm a mathematician, and never quite got the emphasis on "beauty" that some obsess over. Maybe I'm just too deep into the applied side. But mathematical beauty to me is unexpected terseness or conciseness in a result. Which is similar to how I would define beautiful source code I think.

Regardless of whether or not you regard opioid addiction as a disease, please please consider the slippery slope you're sledding down if you buy into this. Who's going to deny insulin to people whose credit card statements show more than 3 Dairy Queen visits this month? Who's going to deny chemo to people who smoked too many Pall Malls, in your opinion? This reeks from top to bottom, and yes, narcan isn't nearly as expensive as chemo, so yes, the slippery slope is pretty much guaranteed to go there. Proceed with caution.

You download it and then after some time you unstall it, got it. Well, I don't think I need to worry about MongoDB then ;)

But I know what you mean. ResinDB is a library that let's you embedd a database inside of your application. It's not a service such as MongoDB. MongoDB load and keep indices in-memory. That's the fastest type of architecture you can have if you want to answer quickly to queries. To have it all in-memory.

Well, there _is_ one faster way. It's to construct a smart index file, bitmapped, stored on a SSD, where the data is laid out in such a way that reading from it is just as fast or faster than reading from an in-memory data structure. This is what Resin achieves.
Hey, other programmers manage to write software that isn't riddled with bugs, I hope to be able to keep up with them =)

Euler’s formula says (in one interpretation) that a half-turn rotation in the plane is the same as a reflection through a point, a statement which is obvious to children who think about it for a bit. It’s phrased in a cute way, but “most beautiful formula of all time” etc. is really a stretch.

The tricky part is thinking of rotations as a type of “number” with a multiplicative structure, in which case the [additive] angle measure becomes the logarithm of the rotation, letting us write our half-turn rotation using the fancy-looking exp(πi) instead of ½⥀ or rot(180°) or whatever.

If you asked someone whether ⤺² = ⥀ (or similar) was the most beautiful formula in mathematics they would probably laugh or look at you funny.
You want fewer things regulated by law? It's a fail goal, but you will face a huge number of "think of the children (elderly, environment, etc)" type of legislation, completely well-intentioned.

One of the problems with democracy is that governing a state is a job that should require certain qualification, experience, etc, but voting does not require any of this. Presumably the elected officials should be the experienced, reasonable people good at governing the state and making the least harmful compromises. But it's only a presumption. (Authoritarian governments are usually no better in this regard, too.)

It's the "do something illegal that people really want, then force politicians to rewrite laws or face the ire of their constituents" business model. Not sure if that's unethical or bold. When it comes to taxi laws, I view the laws as unethical, and challenging them as bold. OTOH, I see hotel laws as providing a necessary constraint on the cost of housing.

It worked as the foundation for several now big startups, but was the perhaps ethical breaking of said rules some kind of gateway drug to unethical behavior? Kinda looks that way in Uber and AirBNB's case.

And then again breaking perceived rules, ideas like Big Oil will be here forever or you have to be a defense firm to get a rocket launch contract, is bold and lucrative (or apparently future-lucrative). There is a fine line between bold and foolish.

> More free time is filled up increasingly by more work. Finding a partner and staying together takes a lot of time.

This was my thought through the whole article. There's some value to the basic observation here - that this isn't purely a career decision - but everything after that feels like a false dichotomy.

It's not just "having a kid means spending less time at the office, so I'll miss a promotion". It's "having a kid, and everything leading up to having a kid, is an enormous time sink that I can't sustain with the job I've already committed to". That's a standard explanation for the demographic issues of, say, Japan, but it somehow disappears when we're talking about professionals in the US - even though it's far more obvious than implying that career and dating are somehow opposing explanations.
Thanks. Such comments really help us to stay motivated :)

Boyle didn't spend a lot of time writing philosophy, his close friend Locke undertook that; it was a very productive division of labor. Hume is often regarded as the founder of Psychology as a science.

Descartes was willing to please the authorities with rationalist-religious smoke, and very proud of smoking them, too - until he too had to flee to Holland when his empiricism was no longer tolerated. So no, he was not "deeply religious." His codification of empirical methodology (which uses the word analysis in the title) was important to science and the philosophy of science but doesn't promote rationalism, quite the contrary. He did make key contributions to empirical science and mathematics.

Leibnitz didn't create science or do experimental science per se, he was curious about binary numbers and created better notation for calculus (but these are tools not scientific discoveries). His contributions to science are vaguer - he sowed about as much confusion as light. I haven't looked at his biography in a long time, but I have lectured about him at a conference at Harvard.

I certainly agree that scientists tend to be poor philosophers - it's not the same task. Heisenberg's book is just one recent example of that. Descartes and Galileo are exceptions, particularly with regard to codifying what the scientific method was.

It can be very motivating to see someone get mad at you though. All at once, lots of things become clear: (1) this is important to that person, (2) you need to treat this seriously, and (3) this is really uncomfortable, it would be good to avoid future discomforts (i.e. change behavior more permanently, not just this one time).

Kindness actually triggers the exact opposite of the 3 things above: suddenly everything seems like no big deal and nothing ever changes. Just great: now you’re setting yourself up for several more unpleasant interactions in the future, instead of just fixing something from the beginning.

There are a lot of other considerations too...

For one, the person “yelling” is usually not the only “unkind” person in the interaction, even if that’s the most obvious one. It is unkind, for instance, to be a lazy person who goes into situations utterly unprepared, showing no respect; at that point, YOU aren’t being “nice” so why do you expect niceness in return?

And sometimes niceness gets in the way of well-understood, efficient processes. On a mailing list, say, you’re better off making a direct statement that isn’t wrapped in two extra paragraphs of polite tone for everyone to read through. And heck, when you’re driving, you can create MAJOR traffic problems by being “kind” instead of just following the rules (ironically bubbling back and impacting 50 people for a mile because you wanted to be “kind” to one person; just watch some videos).

It's a special case like physics, optics, dynamics, economics, and so on.

The simple (linguistically obscure, but let's pretend) way to understand it is that there's an implied "the study of" before the word. So although you are studying multiple elements of a topic, the study itself is singular.

I think people like to dissect this too much. Your instincts, after millions of years of evolution, tell you all you need to know about a person. There is nothing "kind" about Linus, Bezos, Jobs, or even Gates for that matter.

I don't know of a good metric someone should study fundamentals before they'd be considered "ready" to invest in individual companies or options.
No, VC is equity. It may be structured as a note for tax reasons, but the conversion potential dominates the rate or credit terms. Credit is the other side of debt, which is separate from equity.

(Bonus round: when the U.S. Treasury coins money, it records a claim against the Treasury's equity [1]. This is separate from the Federal Reserve's banknotes, which are a debt-like claim on the Fed. In practice, the Fed buys equity in the Treasury and then issues banknotes.)

6 ways to create your development webservers for web-applications

What? The canonical book on this was written by Elizabeth Warren, it's not exactly a conservative idea.

The basic model as she describes it is that since spaces in 'good neighborhoods' and good school districts were fundamentally limited (by space and law), adding a second income to a family did little to increase their wealth - all of the extra earnings were devoted to bidding up a supply-limited resource. Middle class families roughly doubled their earnings but saw almost no benefit for it.

There's further evidence for this claim from the left, too. Piketty discusses overall inequality, but Rognlie persuasively argues that much or all of rising inequality in the US is attributable to skyrocketing land/housing costs. This isn't some trad-con claim that women working is a problem, it's a claim that what should have been a massively positive change for families in the middle class and below was consumed by a certain group of rentiers, resulting in more work without more wealth.

edit: I missed the word 'all' in the last line of the parent to your comment - I thought it simply said "not the fault of feminism". That... changes things quite a bit. This wasn't an inevitable consequence of women working, and the implication that the proper cure would be women not working is hideous. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
Things like suspend/resume, hibernate, video drivers, and touchpads generally get fixed when developers have a need for them. You can hack it together yourself, or you can buy a developer the same model laptop that you wish had everything working and hope they like it enough to fix stuff. Or you can shut up.

And fwiw, cheap windows laptops "just work" far more often and far better than almost any linux distro I've tried.

That's cool that he was able to get a whole Mac app finished. Unfortunate that none of it seems to be open sourced, at least the non-private API parts. But maybe he plans to use the code to monetize something different in the future.

On the other hand, for best iOS/Mac podcast app, I haven't been completely happy with any for years. New ones with smart speed - great feature, but I like one feature above all else.

My favorite app was Instacast for iOS because it let me add time stamped bookmarks/notes. Audible has something similar. None of the apps mentioned in Product Hunt or his blog post seem to support this. Such a bummer. I paid for Instacast 5 before it was removed. It started crashing at launch on iOS 10 however.

Edit: I recognize not many people, likely a single digit percentage of podcast app users would care for bookmarking/notes (thanks Void_)

Stock like that MAY not be valueless but it certainly CAN be. The company may fire you when a project is done, or sooner (all your RSUs: $0). The company may go out of business, and the “fine print” will certainly say that the big-boy investors receive a piece of the pie first before owners of restricted stock (all your RSUs: $0). Some of your RSUs may vest, turning into real stock, yet if you took the job assuming they would “probably” be worth $X, they could be worth anything by the time you vest (including much, much, much lower than you thought). Also, no one requires you to invest in an ESPP.

Clearly stock in a single company can have tremendous returns but it is foolish to treat that like anything but pure gambling from a run-your-life point of view.
I wrote a little script [1] to automate a lot of the steps associated with publishing a podcast. There's still manual work but this takes care of a lot of the fiddly repetitive detail work that's both time-consuming and error-prone.

Thankfully we're getting closer to reversing that mistake, oh happy day.

As I remember, Newton originally thought comets didn't have orbits and were directly influenced by God, so he seems to have been a sincere believer.

I too would like to see more emphasis on "where hypotheses come from," in science education. It matters, since many hypotheses that are obvious in retrospect were overlooked for long periods of time. We know that scientists with broad interests (even outside science) tend to be much more productive than those who are more focused, for example.

For good and ill Einstein followed his nose and instincts about what organizing principles in nature (such as Galileo's principle of relativity) were supremely important, and might point the way to discoveries.

What's so interesting to me about his anti-dice (entanglement) paper is that Einstein-the-intuitive-guy shows the carefully reasoned implications of the theories and math of the rationalistic Copenhagen Interpretation guys (Bohr et al) that they weren't able to see themselves. Our minds our associative; we can't actually become fully rational actors or machines, mixing in some intuition let's more of our grey matter participate in finding solutions.
I'm sure Google/Apple know about this and have the measures to detect it. It's as easy as see the location of the IP from which they installed or a lot of other parameters they track.
