The issue wasn't immigrants per se but the method by which they arrived. They were described as "queue jumpers", which plays against an ordinary australian's notion of fair play.
The numbers of legal immigrants (including refugees) are higher than ever but since the "stop the boats" policy, the number of "illegals" has been reduced to a trickle.

Having a 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl. This is great; my daughter always lamented about how her brother was able to more as a cub scout.

She tried girls scouts for a year, then her troop leader left which caused her troop to fold. We could have moved her to another troop, but she didn't want to, she liked the way things were.
I would intermittently bring to her different Cub Scout functions. Every time I would she would be included in the activities and encouraged to participate by everyone from leaders to parents.

I wasn't keen on the idea of my son joining a god loving, gay hating, etc. organization. It was his choice, his friends were doing it and I went along to make sure nothing happened. After three years of cub scouting I can say that each troop operates on it's own and does what it's leaders feel is best for the kids. If you don't like how your local troop is run try another one, or just take your kids camping, do weekly exercises on rope tying, building bird houses etc.

In Canada they just have Scouts of Canada the genders are treated equally. My daughter is excited, I'm only saddened she missed out a few years of fun.
Browser-monkey is awesome, and for a real project I'd consider using it. I'd also use a virtual dom UI library like Vue, React, Hyperdom or similar.

That's a projection on any author of any form of content. The basic form of all of the ideas are usually accessible for free in blog posts or podcasts. But then they make a book that organizes them better and ties them together. You could rent it from the library for free, which is often encouraged, or spend $15 and own it. And then from the book they offer seminars. And from the seminars they offer retreats.

It's completely up to you what level you want to engage with the material — maybe a student reads the blog post because they want to save money, maybe an adult buys the book because they want to get the information more efficiently and save time, maybe a company hires the seminar to disseminate the information to dozens or hundreds of employees, or an individual attends because they want specific advice to their situation, maybe an executive or passionate follower does the retreat to connect with the founders on a more philosophical level and get a very personalized experience.

It's already quite tricky to make sure anti depressants work, so I would not trust meditation.

At best you just make people believe doing it will make them better, so as long as they believe it, it might be reassuring enough.

I don't tell people to do meditation, I tell them to go to a quiet place outside, in a park or woods, to sit and do nothing and let their thoughts go around. No phone, no book, no toys. The mere act of doing nothing is already doing a lot to relax you, and people have lost the simple habit of relaxing. Stop being busy, that's what people need.

If you'd be interested in playing with Wallaroo and providing feedback on a 2nd generation of the API, feel free to reach out via our IRC channel, user mailing list or ping me via my personal email address that is in my HN profile.

We are looking for folks to help drive the next version of the API. The first one was done with feedback from a couple of clients who were interested in using Python and in many ways reflects their tastes. Feedback from a wider range of Python users is something we are actively soliciting at this point.

Start simple, start small and start with something he's interested in.

There's the part about helping him discover whether he likes to create things through computers and whether he actually believes he can create things through computers. You're spot on that he might be interested about typing code but you'll have to figure out whether he's a visual person, a logical person, etc. For example, I got started learning to code once I understood what code can do to help automate things. A friend of mine got interested after seeing what websites he can build. Everyone is unique so you'll have to learn about him as you're trying to teach.

First it says "topics of computer science" and then has subtopics like jQuery and Django? No subtopics like compilers, formal methods, robotics, or hardware architectures?

I would suggest to change the title to "topics of software engineering" at least.
Guided meditation is a big deal. I know a number of people who use Headspace. Also, obviously, some people are better at meditating. I think most meditation practitioners tend to sort of remove ego, not add to it. So I don't see anyone being competitive about it. But I do see people desperate for the benefits and looking to those good at it to show them the way. There are worse things people could be trying really hard to get good at :)

A lot of meditation and mindfulness encourages an active focus on other people and how they are feeling. I think it is generally wholesome with a side industry trying to take money from people who heard it was good.

Sorry, I should have added an explanation for my quotation.

The parent post (rightfully) pointed out that some teachers feel superior to their students. The core of buddhism (from which insight meditation comes) is that suffering is a result of attachment, since everything is non-permanent.

These teachers may be attached to their perceived accomplishments in their practice, leading to a feeling of superiority. This is a well-known trap in meditation practice.

Hence Suzuki's quote: mediation practice should be treated with a beginner's mind, with openness and no preconceptions. Feeling better than your students is a contradiction to that, it starts with the preconception that you are better/more enlightened.

I have to admit that I find it difficult to write this comment, since it is paradoxical or perhaps even self-contradictary.

I agree with your argument discribing the fact that, I should not judge a single chronological event as means to an end. I should rather reason by first principle rather than by analogy.

Yet experiences are a often influenced by various psychological and environmental componets. The fact that we have different experiences is absolutely natural, thus I’m capable of comprehending your argument.

I was simply stating my thought analogy based on my past experiences.

Since is rather hard to measure such statements (in a quantitative way) I shall be skeptical of other people’s “experiences”. Thus staying true to my thought process, unless I manage to find a comon ground by truly “experiencing” what some call “mindfulness “.

I think this understates it.

It's like running a power cord across a highway to power a refrigerator.
Thank you harel for you kind comment. We aren't using it in our production environment as we don't have one. We are the builders of Wallaroo. We've done a number of POCs with various clients and are moving towards production deployments with them.

Re the API: if you want to take part in helping shape the next version of the API, please reach out to me personally (via the email address in my HN profile) or via:

* #wallaroo on freenode

* our user mailing list: https://groups.io/g/wallaroo

We did the initial version of the API based on feedback from a couple clients we were working with. We're actively looking for feedback from a larger group of folks as we move forward.
Well there are at least two differences:

- There are a lot of scientific studies (however dubious, see the original post) about the effects of meditation: there are none about Luminosity.

- Meditation has been practiced for millennia with entire cultures and philosophies built around it. Luminosity is a 6-year-old app with a good marketing team.

Neither of these things are definitive proof of course. But I think they are evidence (in the Bayesian sense) that there might be something there.

The cool thing about meditation though, is that while I'd want to wait for scientific evidence before "prescribing" it broadly, there's no barrier to an individual trying it out themselves. You'll either get something out if it or you won't. If you do, sure, it could be the placebo effect, but as has been pointed out, even if meditation is nothing more than a deliberate activation of the placebo effect, that's a pretty cool result.
I know of companies with typos in their links that they email. These typos lead to scam sites. I've contacted them and they haven't yet fixed it.

"If a man were called to fix the period in the history of the world, during which the condition of the human race was most happy and prosperous, he would, without hesitation, name that which elapsed from the death of Domitian to the accession of Commodus"

I believe Edward Gibbon said that "modern" life only overtook that period during the early 19th century.
"prior art" is a term concerning patents, whereas this is copyright.

There needs to be a certain level of creative work to qualify for copyright, and an empty program that does nothing is rather unlikely to qualify.

The definite case on that subject must be John Cage's "4:33", which is 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Its copyright has been upheld in court. Yes, the estate of John Cage sued somebody who "quoted" to much of his work of silence.

That sounds somewhat silly, yet it's well-reasoned: the infringing artist actually acknowledged Cage in the CD inset. And 4'33 isn't really only silence. Audio recordings feature the pianist sitting down, open and closing the piano cover, and the audience making various noises. It's somewhat "out there" obviously, but just the fact that it's rather well-known kind of shows that it did what it was supposed to do.

That's an odd comparison to make given these are two radically different therapies. One doesn't follow from the other.

Relaxing and meditating aren't synonymous. Simply reducing one's workload doesn't necessarily address the issues that might indicate meditation as a course of treatment.
Ask HN: Getting acquired by a competitor. Advice on protecting the code?
Greetings HN,

A competitor contacted me, and after discussions I agreed to sell a software business for $3m. We signed a non-binding LOI, with them holding 10% of the price for the next 3 months, to make sure I help with transition.

Buyer insists on getting the full source code to review as part of Due Diligence, instead of doing screensharing sessions (as many as they want), having me walk them through. What is best practice?

Buyer proposed to use their local law firm to handle the transfer, to save on Escrow & transfer fees, which they would cover. They are ok with Escrow too, if we split fees. My concern is: even using Escrow.com, after Due Diligence, Buyer will get access to full source code. Quote from Escrow:
The seller is not paid until the buyer accepts the merchandise and has the chance to fully inspect it. After the buyer inspects and accepts the merchandise, the funds will be moved from our escrow account to the seller's account.

So they can end up with a full code copy and decline the acceptance, as it's not a physical product which could be returned. So, using Escrow.com would be useless?
I would have expected Escrow to get ownership of all code, domains etc, inspect it (have a checklist from Buyer), and then transfers both funds & assets at the same time, or return both without Buyer getting code access. How should I proceed?

Thanks!
