>> Again, statistically. On average, people of all colors don't have an uncle at a hedge fund...

Huge numbers of people I went to undergrad with had uncles at hedge funds or big law firms. Those are the people I was competing with for entrance. You're absolutely right, I was never competing with many people in the Midwest (of all races) who had it worse than me because large populations amongst the Ivy League schools come from ~2 dozen high schools. My high school was proud to produce 71 (i think, something around that) students who proceeded into Ivy League schools from our graduating class (for whatever that is worth.) It is even more with 5 other NYC schools and a couple on Massachusetts.

Finally, You dont need to believe my anecdotes -- you can read hundreds of first-hand accounts online. When the "Tiger Mom" NY Times article and book came out, you chould see the outpouring of condemnation of some of this NY (and broader) Asian subculture -- a lot of it was from Asians like myself.

I encourage you to read the comments section of that famous article as well as the dozens of offshoot conversations and heated debate that ensued over the persoanl/emotional/psychological cost of success at any cost mentality.
Are there any AR apps that let you set up dungeons/maps on your table (through the view of your phone or tablet)?
Can this be attributed to lack of good challenging open and large enough dataset that can be used as benchmark?

The switchboard dataset was "challanging" in its time but pointless from current standards. One doesn't have to look beyond trying to do voice dictation in car to see how horrible current speed recognition systems are compared to humans.
It's because of Stranger Things. The article sees it as a symptom, but from a lot of people I know, it's actually a cause.

Top 5 universities (and elite private schools more generally) are usually much cheaper than public universities for students with limited means because they have deep pockets for need-based financial aid while public schools have little if any additional campus aid.

Now, awareness of this fact may be not widespread enough, skewing the applicant pool toward the outcome.you describe because of perceived cost, but it's much more likely that a student wouldn't be able to afford a public college than an elite private one.

My main adjustment was to (mentally) let go of all my inessential belongings. Pretty much all my important things now fit in a small, maximum-legal-carryon-sized suitcase, along with a small backpack and the stuff that I wear on my body. This lets me live and travel loosely, whether hopping between Airbnbs in Europe or lucking into enticing month-long sublets back home in SF. If I get tired of my surroundings, I can pick up my life and move somewhere else in the course of a day. It's extremely liberating, both physically and mentally. (Of course, this presupposes that you don't have an SO or dependents.)

It took me a while to figure out my optimal "toolkit". Productivity-wise, my essentials are a Roost dock, Logitech wireless keyboard, and Logitech wireless gaming mouse. Working from cafés is really great now. (And my shoulder pain is gone!)

Productive travel advice: don't do hostels. Airbnbs are awesome, but only pick ones with private rooms that have a nice desk and chair. It's way more convenient than spending extra money on a coworking space (unless that's your thing). If you're planning to actually get work done, stay in a given city for at least two weeks, and preferably more than a month. Traveling to a new city always takes some adjustment.

I started with $100,000, but that's way more than you need. (I just didn't have very many expenses over the course of my SV career.) When I was Airbnb-traveling in Europe, I think I spent about $30,000-$35,000 a year when all was said and done. This was very comfortable living in Western Europe though, and I probably spent about half to two-thirds of my time eating out. You can definitely do $20,000 or less a year, especially if you visit cheaper countries, sublet places for at least a month, and cook for yourself more.

If you have more than, say, $10k in savings, put some of it in FDIC-insured accounts with ~1% returns (e.g. Ally), and invest some of it index funds (Vanguard). It's basically free money unless you happen to invest right before a major recession.
Yes! (I'm the dev who implemented them in Outlook Mobile). I think you are thinking of COM add-ins though, which were significantly more powerful, but a security risk. The new JS based approach, which has been in place for a few years, can't do quite as much, but is much much safer.
We can show logically that "6" as a concept should exist as a consequence of very fundamental ideas about numbers. If we knew that there was no "6" then could we say that math and maybe logic itself as we know it has been been disproved by contradiction?

Funny how I have been recently thinking we will need a way to open up feature requests to our customers for a bootstrapped project I'm working on. We can't take the $50/mo. rate just yet. Canny will be in when we get there.

We're probably not ready for this just yet. We're currently in a good place with a) solving a problem we have and b) a couple dozen paying customers who are helping us see the cracks in our MVP. Some of whom we can work with face-to-face. That's huge considering our target market isn't the best at articulating the challenges they are facing, so watching them use the app is a great insight vector. It's also really motivating to hang out with people who are excited about using our product.
Came to post this question also. I switched to Inbox when it came out and never looked back. The automated linking of travel emails into a cluster pertaining to the same trip, for example, is extremely useful, and after pinning anything that needs attention, clearing your inbox with the sweep button is amazing. Some clarity from google on the future of these two products would be nice.

5e did what I would have thought impossible: the people that preferred 4e to earlier editions largely liked it, the people who were repulsed by 4e but stayed with 3e/3.5e or forks of those liked it, and a lot of the “old school” crowd that preferred OD&D, B/X or BECMI D&D, or AD&D 1e or 2e also liked it.
Rock Paper Shotgun[1] is really good for the most part, co-founded by the writer of The New Games Journalism[2]. Their reviews don't have explicit ratings, which neatly sidesteps the fooforaw over giving things the "wrong" rating. They're on GamerGate's hit list (because somebody's girlfriend allegedly slept with one of their writers), which is another point in their favor. They're PC-specific, though.

Any other good gaming sites out there I should check out?

You're missing something.

If 6 doesn't exists 7 can't exist. You can't just say 7 - 1 doesn't exist, while 7 - 2 does.

If you remove 6 from the real numbers and say anything that would result in 6 is impossible, doesn't 6 exist anyways?

As you are getting INTO ketosis you will have a window with lower glucose in your blood, and according to this less self control.

As your body begins to burn fat to create its own glucose, your self control should be very constant, never dipping to low from lack of glucose.

You don't get super-self control from a sugar high, so there is no benefit to high levels of glucose in the blood. Its just good to avoid the extremely low dips which someone in ketosis will never have.

I don't think so. If you follow the logic of the article to eliminate 6, you essentially have to turn everything too big into integers mod 6. I guess you could also no longer have rational or real numbers or only really limited versions of them without access to all the integers. Losing the real numbers kills classical physics.

It seems space could be at most a 6 x 6 x 6 lattice, maybe forming a hyper-torus or something like that. And time, only 6 possible points in time, too. Hopefully nobody starts walking around in that tiny universe and discovers that there are more than 5 distinct places to visit. To really get rid of 6, you probably have to limit the entire universe to 6 states, but even then I am not really confident that 6 remains out of reach.

Note that there is also a tension between ordinals and cardinals, you can number points in each dimension of the lattice universe with 0 to 5 but that are of course 6 numbers. But I decided to ignore that, it just makes the idea even harder to realize.

> aka "scary black window" as my wife calls it

Years ago, I had a job with a family-owned company that made educational videos. I was hired to do some rudimentary mucking around with a database. Something to do with FileMaker. I honestly don't remember what.

One day, the head accountant, who was also the owner's wife walked into the room to ask me a question. Busted. I was totally slacking, playing Angband full screen on my Mac. It looked something roughly like this:

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/6663/angband_2D1_t...

She said, "Oh, I can see you're busy working on something complicated." The poor lady didn't even realize it was a game. Thanks, retro ASCII art graphics!
I started to DM and in order to find people, my wife and I put out requests on Instagram and now we play with some extended acquaintances and old friends. It is going great and never would of happened if we didn't put out that open ended request. I also recommend watching Critical Role as a way to experience the game without being able to play.
Tabletop and other Youtube channels, plus various podcasts, have been around a lot longer and spread the idea to a lot of people who are caught up in the current zeitgeist of nerd culture but hadn't grown up in it (and so largely had missed out on the RPG games the rest of us played as teens).

There was also a strong movement away from heavy mechanics to narrative heavy games with lighter mechanics over the past decade which offered a lot more ways to introduce people to tabletop RPGs. Video games also helped. A ton of jocks and frat guys, folks who never would've played a tabletop RPG in the 80s or 90s (or not in large numbers) were won over with 4th edition last decade because it was like the video games they were playing (for better or worse, I never really took to the system).

Kickstarter catching the public's attention has also helped, with lots of indie or otherwise smaller presses being able to publish their systems.

Lots of factors involved. Stranger Things may be helping this year, but the trend in increasing popularity has been happening for several years.

I don't understand how taking 25M acres of wheat production and turning that into 75M acres of Kernza produces a net environmental benefit. Which 50M acres of native habitat are we going to cut down? That's the size of a North Eastern state... we should be going the other direction and increasing yield and decreasing total acres if we want to restore native habitats. There's no way that the lower inputs (and wheat doesn't take much) of Kernza justify destroying the native habitat of an entire state.
At my company, students at target schools (vt, umd, etc) are offered 20k more than non target.
> If there’s no 6, said Caroline Turnage-Butterbaugh, a math professor at Duke University, then there can’t be a 7, 8 or 9 — or, really, any number greater than 5. Say you have a pile of seven items. You could take one away, ending up with the-number-formerly-known-as-6.

This seems like a weak argument: say you have a pile of five items; you could add one, and then we have six after all.

I don't see why subtraction should be treated any differently?

I thought this was going to be more interesting than 'imagine the world in base 6' - what're the ramifications of a 'hole' in the middle? I recall enough to know that fields allow for it, but are the consequences at all interesting?

Ask HN: What do you think about punctuation- and case-insensitive passphrases?
Imagine that you have very valuable passphrase which you use once a few months and you want to avoid backups, because you're a bit paranoid.

It's super hard to remember typical passwords like "K35e^es$EF". And it's a lot of work hard to memorize sequences of random words like "horse battery staple correct".

What's a lot easier to remember is a unique freestyle sentence which you composed by yourself. Like this: "Let's encrypt end to end, PGP is my friend".

Now, when you try to recall it after 3 months after last use... Was it two sentences separated by dot? Or maybe there was a comma? Maybe no punctuation at all?.. Did it start with capital or small "L"?.. Was there a dot in the end?..

So I'm writing a software which will make use of such passphrases. It will run a passphrase through KDF (scrypt) and use output to create PGP or Bitcoin private key. Yes, it's aimed only at users who can estimate entropy of their input. I'm going to preprocess the passphrase: lowercase it and remove most common punctuation like [,.!?:;-]. This way, it'll eliminate most common errors introduced by user's verbal memory, without losing too much of entropy.

This all seems self-evident to me, but for some reason I've never heard about punctuation-insensitive password KDFs/hashes. There is case-insensitive LM hash, but it must be only due to legacy software limitations. So maybe there is something deeply wrong with my approach, but I just don't notice it?
