Marketing is a must for an idea to become a successful business. However most side projects are much more about learning and exploration.

It's easy to get excited about our side project and make it real. But that's a long way ahead. Pursuing it as a side project is impractical. Not only it requires more time than we have. But also we have to spend more time on things like marketing than the fun stuff that initially led us to start the project.

I'd go so far as make it an explicitly non-goal to make profit when starting a side project. You will have more fun and there will be wider range of ideas you can explore.
That's an interesting study but I fail to see that it supports your claim. There's no mention of C4 fixation in the article, nor any claim that CO2 fixation is a significant limiter for agriculture.

The article claims 30% increase in general (not just agricultural), but also does not attribute all that simply to more available CO2.

Your own claim is self-contradicting as you use arid environments as the basis for your claim. Agricultural environments where plants are irrigated are not arid, by definition.
I like reading TE, but articles about countries other than the US or the UK always give me the impression that they simply cannot fathom that people think differently in other cultures.
If the workplace wishes to appear welcoming for all and at the same time has numerous sacred topics that cannot be touched even with a mile-long stick, then it is clearly not welcoming enough.
In a well-oiled world, someone subscribing to this service would use one employee full-time. $1750 doesn't pay that person's monthly salary unless you're outsourcing heavily, which is something people shopping for this service probably already know how to do. So I guess I'm confused as to how this all works, other than relying on the subscribers' downtime as profit, which sets up a really weird relationship between the business and its users.
The parallel to which you refer is far from obvious. Is it meaningful enough to share, or are you here just to say that you have a private joke? I mean, I have no idea what you're trying to put across here, and to whatever extent anyone beyond the two of us continues to look at this thread on a Sunday, I confide I cannot be alone in this difficulty. If you have something substantive to say, it would be awesome if you went ahead and said it.
We should seperate the revenue producing aspects of policing from emergency response. Why isn't a meter maid giving out tickets for speeding?

The Actually Distributed Web
At the beginning of the 20th century is when abstraction in mathematics really took off. Things started getting abstract quickly. There was also Russell's paradox and the work of Cantor that dealt with infinities. It became clear that math needed to be put on a rigorous, firm foundation. Set theories were developed and logic formalized.

One goal was to come up with a collection of axioms for the Natural numbers (capital letter to denote the Natural numbers we all know and love). What was wanted was a collection of axioms that are recursively enumerable. Think computable. The goal was to find a mechanistic process to check theorems and to prove new theorems. In some sense too alleviate the field from human error. In modern language we'd say to find a way to have a computer check/discover theorems in number theory.

There are two axiom systems for the Natural numbers. Both are Peano axioms and one system is first order and recursively enumerable. The other system is second order and not recursively enumerable. There are infinitely many models of the first order Peano axioms. For each such model we call them natural numbers (lower case) to signify they are a model of the first order axioms.

The Incompleteness Theorem: There are statements that are true in the Natural numbers (upper case!) that are not true in all models of the natural numbers. Furthermore, this will always be the case no matter what system of recursively enumerable axioms you have for describing the Natural numbers.

Consequence: The Natural numbers can not fully be described by a nice set of axioms. Whatever recursively enumerable system of axioms you have to describe the Natural numbers will be insufficient to prove all true statements of the Natural numbers. Hence, such systems of axioms are incomplete.

One can always find a complete system of axioms by taking as the collection of axioms the collection of all true statements. This isn't helpful because there would no effective way to determining whether or not a statement is an axiom just by looking at it or comparing it to a finite set of axiom schema. Such a collection of axioms is wholly impractical and not useful. But it is wrong to say that a complete axiom system can not be found.

Some people falsely claim that the Incompleteness theorem says that there are statements of the Natural numbers that are neither provable or disprovable. What the theorem says is that for a given recursively enumerable set of axioms that the Natural numbers are a model of there will be statements of the Natural numbers that are true but not provable in that system. All true statements of the Natural numbers are provable in the second order system of axioms but the things get dicey from a logic point of view when working with the second order Peano axioms.

You could say the same thing about many free software projects created for the ecosystem. Many of them could have been created by Apple and shipped as a part of the system. I have donated my precious time to solve problems that should have been solved by Apple before. I’m not extatic about it, but my itch got scratched and hopefully I may have helped other people, too, so I consider it a pragmatic improvement. I can see your point, though, so let’s simply disagree, it’s good for the world to have different people try different approaches.

Yet despite recognizing all these shortcomings we still have the arrogance to think we can create a better ‘human’? That would be a better steward without primal urges?

That’s distinctly human egotism.

I feel we would already have to change ourselves to the point of becoming a different species before we were even capable of successfully building such a being. At which point it would be moot.
For some kinds of work, say sales, a little alcohol can help with anxiety.

It has a way of catching up with you, however, and you can easily wind up drinking too much.

If you want to suppress anxiety you may be better off getting a prescription for a short-acting benzodiazepine such as Xanax -- the primary effect of alcohol and benzodiazepines is basically the same. BZs are much safer than the older tranquilizers, but still have danger of addiction and overdose, particularly if you combine with alcohol, opiates, etc. Xanax is cheaper than alcohol, however, and less toxic.

About 40 years ago a University of Houston and University of Texas Medical School Professor of Psychology, Dr. Daniel E. Sheer, developed a similar system. The result: an Apple II game system for use by patients with brain damage or dysfunction to retrain the fine control of their hands. Several systems were installed in Houston area hospitals as a result of the work.

The system was adjustable to the user's tremors and had a number of parameters to adjust the "smoothness" and responsiveness of the cursor. It worked with both joystick and mouse, as I recall.
The most important part of agile is the feedback cycle and non rolling release products don't have a very good feedback cycle. it can still help if you figure out pre-release feedback loops but sometimes they are poor representatives of actual results.
'Ready Player One' is 80's nostalgia porn. It was obvious from very early on in the book, and if you read more than a few chapters in the book and expected more, well, you would indeed be disappointed.

Knowing that the book is 80's nostalgia porn, and that this is what made it so popular, I would be disappointed to get anything else out of the movie. I don't want to get an in-depth story about lessons learned from using media to escape from pain... I want to watch a DeLorian race Akira's motorcycle while Voltron and Godzilla duke it out in the background.
My impression is that the banking was more often used for graphics rather than logic.
Serverless Performance Shootout
I have read the Inside Macintosh books but they still felt somewhat incomplete and superficial (although they're definitely a little prettier) compared to what I'd consider close to a "gold standard" for documentation, the IBM PC/AT Technical Reference and the same one for MS/PC-DOS.

One of these is a foot of big books documenting a GUI system and its components, the other is a single volume that tells you handy things like 'The PC/AT has three programmable timers'. I don't think the documentation was ever complete but Apple did produce a lot more of it and had a lot more to document to begin with. The level of documentation is not really directly comparable let alone a symptom of some non-existent 'just works' culture and attitude. If anything, one could make a reasonable argument Apple of the time spent too much effort on beautifully documenting piles of things that were ultimately not useful or successful.
There was a site, gamepitches.com, that wanted to archive these types of documents but it only existed for a few years. Here's a Wayback Machine link to the document archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20150406082704/http://www.gamepi...

> any reasonable definition of free speech (i.e. limited)

First, "limited free speech" is not "free speech" anymore. Second, you're just not going to be able to "define" things anymore as you automate and replace with AIs more and more processes (the definition will more am more start to be "the practical implementation of the machine learning filtering algorithm and the choice of training data", anything else will be "approximations" since you won't be able to prove things about these statistical algorithms much). The choice will be either (a) full freedom + massive investment in mechanisms to manage the negative consequences of this freedom (let's start with education first, not only making it free for all at all levels, but also forcing people be given free paid time to educate themselves, not worked to dumbness 8+hrs/day and then expecting them to differentiate real-news from fake-news...) or (b) give up freedom and live in a "well managed totalitarian system" with "freedom for distractions and sex only" or some other deal like that.

> we could easily justify not outlawing murder

No, there'l a clear criteria: reversibility! If I say something incredibly hate enticing, I can be proven wrong, and I can even retract my words and say "I changed my mind" later, that should be ok. If I murder someone, that can't be undone, even if I say I changed my mind about murdering him, he's still dead and I've still proven that I'm capable of murder (imho all people are, but that's a different discussion...).
Thanks, I did not intend to indicate it was not a mitochondrial disease or related to mitochondrial function, just that it's not the 'final solution' other posters seem to have implied. It would seem likely that from further research that CFS will be subdivided into smaller groups, with some having clinical tests and causes that have been established, others still eluding a resolution.
Interesting. If not confidential, what language did you use to create Vexlio? and what library (if any) for PDF and PNG output? Asking since PDF generation is one of my interests.
Yeah, I thought 8086 also had segments, did not bother to cross-check it.
I agree. Also the way user stories are written just makes me want to throw up. "As a user I want to open the about dialog so I can see the version number." Blarghf.

Why not just "Implement about dialog with version number.".

I'm pretty sure 99% of 'user stories' are just feature lists written in a really really awkward and annoying way.
Try Zillow.com It has search options for rent, lot size, bedrooms, etc. The results show on a map, so you can filter by area. Commute time is not something that can be computed. I hypothesize that properties with two acres would mostly be for sale, not for rent.

Looking in my sparsely populated Northern California county, I only see eight for rent. Some would be about an hour and a half from San Francisco.
Yes. Mummert is far more qualified than I am on these matters. Here is a line from his reply that is important:

"So, even though Z2 with full second-order semantics is categorical, for any sound effective deductive system there are still true formulas of Z2 that are neither provable nor disprovable in that system."

The key is sound and effective deductive system. Think computable or mechanistic process for deduction. The second order Peano axioms with second order semantics are not and effective deduction system.

In all proofs you have to start with (or end up with depending on the direction your proofs go) axioms. In the second order Peano axioms with second order semantics you can end up in a situation where you don't know if a given statement is an axiom! Making that determination can be quite hard.

I'm sure it also depends on who you worked for. My unscientific instinct is that you're substantially more likely to see someone carry a balance on a Capital One or Target card then on an Amex or Costco visa because of the demographics.

Because I spent 4 hours today trying to figure out how to prevent something from starting on boot (which boot system is Ubuntu using this version? Why do the systemctl and service commands disagree with each other?). I spent two weeks trying to make my ctrl/capslock swap stick and not reset every time the computer slept/resumed. When I plug my headphones into the computer, I have to manually switch the output source every time. If I plug in my external monitor while the monitor is off and then turn it on, linux refuses to recognize it. I have to unplug it, turn the monitor on and plug it back in. Sometimes, when I plug the external monitor in, it won't retain the settings from the last time I used it. It could do the same thing 9 times out of 10, but that 10th time it will decide to mirror the display instead of extend it or something equally silly. Now I have to spend time to fix something that should have just worked.

Is that enough for now? I could go on. I'm using Ubuntu 17.04. Linux on the desktop is still not as easy to use or predictable as Windows or OS X. It's the predictable part that's a deal breaker for me. I want my OS to respond the same way every time I do something, even if that way is wrong or annoying. Every time I sit down to do some work, it's a toss of the dice whether I'll be able to just get into it or if I have to spend some amount of time fixing or resetting or otherwise dealing with nonsense.
The tesla roadster started with a Lotus Elise body and frame. The S was the first tesla that was entirely their design (AFAIK).

In this post, a member of the OpenAI team characterizes this form of coached self-play as being supervised. If you are assigning a value to an action that is not an explicit goal of the game and is not a consequence of violating the game's rules, it would seem to fit the definition of 'supervised'.

But why is loneliness a problem? Because evolution; being apart from the tribe was not a good survival strategy so we have developed an intuitive "feel bad when cut off" mechanism. Same with fear of ostracism; being cast out from the tribe was a death sentence. You can to a very limited extent "hack" it - why people carry around photos of loved ones in their wallets and look at them to trigger the recognition response - but a chatbot that could operate at that level would be indistinguishable from a sentient being in its own right, in which case why not make real friends with it?
I am a bit perplexed by the "new technology":

>The students created a smartphone app, called Virtual Traffic Stop, that allows him to do just that. After the officer pulls a driver to the side of the road, he would use the app to start a video chat with the driver as a first point of contact, allowing him to observe whether the driver seemed mentally ill or dangerous, notice clues in the interior of the vehicle and review identification documents.

Just to name one, I don't have usually a smartphone, or a switched on smartphone, when driving, and the police officer should have a way to find and call my phone number, which not necessarily is linked to the car license plate.

And this data would be interesting:

>In some cities, when you roll through a stoplight, a camera catches you in the act, and a few weeks later you receive a ticket in the mail. Data suggests that this automatic system is far cheaper than “human” ticketing and reduces pedestrian deaths. And a camera can’t kill people.

Undoubtedly it is cheaper, the point is how much it contributes to safety.

I confess that I received one of those tickets (the fact that a large number of people received one since seemingly the municipality put the camera and shortened to the bare legal minimum - possibly even less than that - the yellow light time is another thing).

Frankly after 2 1/2 months I didn't even remember to have gone through that particular traffic light/intersection, I paid the fine and that was it.

By contrast a couple of times that police stopped me, even if they at the end resolved to not fine me, they "stopped my driving" right there, so if I was doing something - if not illegal - "border line" with dangerous they actually prevented me from continuing doing it, by forcefully inserting a "pause".
I think the Illuminati, and other conspiracies, are so popular because it's comforting to believe that someone, no matter how megalomaniacal, is taking actions that lead to a higher purpose. The thought that nobody is really in charge - that there is no higher purpose - can be pretty damned scary and isolating.
You are right, and they probably mean the reverse causation. If it is volatile, you want to "dollar cost average", so you aren't significantly impacted by the price of a single purchase.

My experience is similar to yours...CFS following viral infection which never cleared up, but pre-existing stressors were probably more important. Dealing with the stress, allowing my body/brain to heal, then slowly building my life back up again resulted in complete resolution.

If you look at how the brain works, there is quite a lot of evidence pointing towards chronic stress resulting in CFS-like symptoms. I suspect the culprit is the "central governor" region of the brain (which is involved in central fatigue).

Imagine you have written a small utility for a commercial OS. Something like it should have been included with the os but wasn't.

You've scratched your itch. You decide to open-source it, so that everyone else who has a similar problem could benefit. Kudos!

Good thing is that you can push it to Github or something like that, making it instantly available.

Now replace the code with documentation. You have found something hard to find and important. You've solved your problem. Now you can share it, so that fellow developers could benefit from it. You have already spent time on it, for your own purposes. You don't want to document the rest of the lacunae in the official docs, but this particular bit is ready.

You'd like to waste as little effort doing that as possible, and make it instantly findable.

Where do you go?

Hence the idea of the original post.
Hm interesting. About your post exertional malaise, how much can you do until you feel malaise for several days or weeks?

Following your metaphor of the PT Cruiser: it seems like they followed a waterfall process. They came up with a list and then built a car that fulfilled that list without evaluating what they were building st every step along the way. If they'd done it agile-ly, the crappyness may have surfaced much earlier in the development of the car... Maybe early enough to have done something about it. Alas, agile doesn't really work well with design of expensive tangible products like cars.
