Human life already relies hugely on an artificially created habitat to satisfy basic needs. The trend is to become less coupled to the natural environment that we evolved within. Perhaps that could one day include self supporting habitats beyond the surface of earth. But I do wonder if the focus on planetary surfaces is desirable. If we can survive on the surface of Mars then perhaps space stations/ships could also be self sustaining? If there is enough material outside of big gravity wells then why not?
Nothing, the only reason to buy it is that people think they'll be able to sell it to someone else for more later. Other cryptos are way better at actually doing things.

How?
Note that the GNU ls manpage is just `ls --help` in manpage format, with a "SEE ALSO" section at the bottom which tells you where the real documentation is.
I don't like Sapiens. In a complex world the time it takes for an average second grader to become a subject matter expert is about 30 years. And it's increasing not decreasing.

Reading Sapiens will make you feel and sound like you know what you are talking about.
And therefore it is for people who cannot put in the thirty years to feel like subject matter experts.

It's like what Jon Stewart/Rush Limbaugh and their clones do for their fan clubs.
That's all there is to it at this point. Other cryptos are vastly better if you actually want to do anything with it.
Demand is probably almost entirely speculative, which is nothing new. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is launching Bitcoin futures in a few weeks, which I think contributes to the current run-up.

The relative risk vs coffee consumption curve fist goes below 1.0 (no coffee = 1.0) and reaches minimum around 3-5 cups then starts to increase slowly again. cardiovascular disease and stroke risk go above 1.0 after 9-10 cups per day.

The study mentions that results may not apply to unfiltered coffee (eg, French press, Scandinavian boiled, or Turkish/Greek coffee). Other studies have shown that cholesterol-raising factor in coffee does not pass a paper filter.

NOTE: Cholesterol increasing effect in coffee is not from dietary cholesterol.
It comes from cafestol and kahweol (diterpenes). They seem to have adverse effect to cholesterol regulation in the body, http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev.nutr.17.1.3...
The only "hill" is a bridge over the railroad. From standstill at the bottom it will not go under 12km/h no matter what. This is due to the electric motor torque. Quite different from a gas engine. At first it will go quite fast and as you reach the peak, it will drop to 12-14 km/h.

PS. I have the 450W model.
To be fair the UK is an order of magnitude smaller and election spending hasn’t reached the stratospheric levels of the USA.

There’s also the example of a number of the pro-Leave campaigns in the EU referendum receiving donations from unknown donors, then all spending it with the same strategic communications company behind Ted Cruz’s primary and Trump’s presidential campaigns [1]. In this cases, the sums involved were of the order of millions of pounds — a bit more significant.

OK. So, suppose the rules for elections were to be changed. Now, you have to pay 100 bucks to cast a vote. Unless you vote republican, then you get a 50% discount. Would you agree that that is not an existential threat to the country?
This old blog post argues that wisdom of crowds works well for estimating facts, but poorly for creative thinking, even so far as to say: "Votes become vetoes". Because people don't choose what they like the most, they choose against thing they like the least.

Man is like javadocs: useless unless you already know what you are doing, and then usually a wordy paraphrase of the method signature :(

Even as a reference manual, man is bad though.

If I'm looking for option "-e" of the test command, why can't I do

$ man test -e
-e file True if file exists (regardless of type).

That seems more efficient, more unix-friendly and not too much to ask.

I get this is an historical tool that only cares about displaying the output of nroff. We would need a new tool with more empathy ($ woman? )
It has 18 lines of configuration. The actual CMS (cms.js/css) has almost 2M characters.

The demos is cute and all, but not really different from the many other existing CMSs for static site generators.

That said, I do think it's good we're finally having some options for this model besides Movable Type, which has been around for 18 years, but which is too expensive for the needs of many.
Most of the criticism here is exactly about how people do not like the structure of man pages for this use case. If the parent suggests contributing to man pages as a fix for these issues, "Respecting the well-known structure of man pages" goes counter to that goal and suggests that solving this issue outside of man pages actually is the better solution.
TL,DR: "it’s a single page app written in React and built on Git"

I am really curious to see how it can scale with a loooot of content.

In Australia you would indeed refer to a mixed-gender team of web devs as the "web dev guys". I don't think it is disingenuous at all.

My grandfather has slowly been slipping into a deep depression. Not trying to slap correlations with a causal label, but man oh man how he has started to rely on social media.

To continue being anecdotal: getting rid of my Facebook has (after a few years) greatly helped me feel butter (intentional typo, you betcha).

Some people are telling you that you don't have much of a problem. The fact you posted this means that for you, it feels like you're losing a little control and want some feedback.

I've known a few alcoholics - the type that needed in-patient treatment and counselling to get to a point where they were no longer out of control - and it doesn't sound like you're there. It does sound to me though like you're drinking more than is making you comfortable and you're not quite sure how to take a hold, and that can cause a spiral effect.

I'm a heavy drinker, and sometimes I worry about this too, principally for long-term health reasons more than say, because I think I have become dependent on alcohol.

Can you imagine going for the next year without any alcohol at all? I'm not sure I can. And for me, a lot of that is social: I'd miss out on a lot of friendships established through drinking.

However, the question for me is whether you have conscious control over the cue/reward part of the habit.

Habits are very simple: you get a cue ("I want a drink"), supported by an underlying belief system ("Drinking makes me relaxed and I want to be relaxed right now"), that you respond to instinctively ("I'll have a drink"), in order to get the reward ("I'm now relaxed").

Changing a habit only requires conscious effort in the response part of that step. When you feel the urge, think it through, don't go for the instinct.

It helps if you spend some time to try and address the underlying belief system to consciously fall back on. You've started that: not drinking helps you feel better and run better. Next time you want a drink remind yourself "I don't want to drink because I want to feel better and run better tomorrow and next week".

Those who know me (and many people who work with me know my HN account name), will be surprised I'm giving this advice: I helped found a whisky club in the office, and on Thursday helped demolish a bottle of Johnnie Walker with a couple of colleagues whilst at our desks.

I sometimes stray from the response system, and sometimes I let the belief system get warped, but I know it's there, and I know how to use it, and I hope it works for you.

I've used this method to give up smoking, and to reduce the amount of shitty food I've been eating. I've not tried it for alcohol, but perhaps I might now.
They are exploring making it work over webrtc which would support such a use case (although you'd still need a signaling server to setup the initial connection)

That's not true at all. Circumcision is linked to lower rates of penile cancer, lower rates of STD infection (probably why cancer rates are lower) particularly HIV and lower rates of bladder infections. In fact it was recommended that circumcision be standard practice in areas of Africa with high HIV rates.

I think the tldr client can be immensely helpful as a quick cheatsheet in daily operations, whereas manpages will remain to be go-to references for those with time and patience to learn all about the tool in question.
I haven't read the book, but from your description it doesn't look like especially useful advice to me.

If it's obvious that a given investment has good fallback value, then the market has probably factored that in already by the time you are investing. If it's not obvious, then the tip could be superseded by the more general one: "if you have information that most people don't and it makes you think that an investment will work, then go for it". But that is rather obvious, and the problem is to acquire that kind of information.
How does one find such a key? It's my understanding the brute forcing such key would take billions of years on a regular CPU, so can anyone here explain how this was (probably) achieved?
HN doesn't consider trailing dot part of the URL, so you need to URL-escape the dot (%2e) to make it work.

(But I set up a redirect, so now the dotless URL works, too.)
I imagine it would scale about as well as the git* API backing it up, given that the content list etc. are all pulled from the git host's API (Github in this case).

I like the way it uses pull requests to handle drafts. A couple of clever build scripts in the repo would make for a pretty sweet deployment workflow.

I'm not super keen on the way it stores uploaded assets though. I understand the benefit of simplicity in only targeting a single API, but it would be nice to target a cloud hosting service (like GCE/AWS storage) for asset uploads.
There's an index, usually a separate one for command-line options.

For example in the sed info pages it's under "Command and Option Index" at the bottom of the top-level menu.

And, at least in the emacs viewer, there's a keyboard shortcut so you can just type something like « i - n » to see the docs for -n.
There's some evidence that brainstorming is less effective than telling people to prepare a list of few ideas before the meeting and then merging those lists [1]. During brainstorming sessions people's creativity seem to be limited by other people ideas, not inspired by them.

The notion that you can have all the benefits of a centrally governed society with all the liberties of total freedom is an unrealistic expectation. In order to ensure basic societal services are readily available for an entire nation, certain personal liberties must be given up in exchange. You can't have it both ways. For some people, this is news to them. Myself, and apparently most of the western world, we'd rather give up those liberties for the massive benefits that we get in exchange. The idea of absolute freedom is chaos.
Governments all over the world will use the agenda "social media is bad, people need to be protected from it" to regulate how we interact with each other over digital media. This will stifle our ability to communicate and organize against laws and government actions that are not right.

Meanwhile school homework gets more and more ridiculous and children get medicated with who knows what kind of psychoactive substances because they cannot deal with it, but no, that's not the cause of teenager mental health problems.

Go easy on the coffee. You'll discover it has caused you acid reflux, long after you can do anything about it.

Also: sugar masks the flavor. Good coffee tastes best with just cream.
This, so much this. Having only transitioned into RHEL from Solaris in the latter 1/4 of my career, I still hark back to Solaris man pages and to this day, on Linux I will do -

man foo

/EXAMPLES

And frequently find what I find, if there are any at all, very lacking compared to Solaris.

I have often thought I and others who complain about this should get involved in working on these man pages and improve this situation.

Not having alcohol in the house isn't much of a barrier to overcome for someone with a real drink problem.
These days I use facebook just for its messenger. On my computer, I skip facebook.com and go to messenger.com directly. On mobile (I refuse to install their apps), I go to mbasic.facebook.com because Facebook doesn't let me access the messenger tab in the mobile facebook website, nagging me to install their messenger app.

Messenger is a really useful tool to stay connected. Pretty much everyone I know is available there, so using it is a net positive for me. Can't say the same about the news feed itself.

(I know that the article isn't talking about Facebook in particular, but I just thought this is worth sharing.)
That subreddit (at least the US one) is pretty terrible. I think there's some active shilling for credit card companies going on there. They also give a lot of objectively terrible advice when it comes to transportation, mortgages, and student loans.

The number of participants, and the source of those participants (reddit main), pretty much guarantees that the advice there can't/won't be high-quality, and will only get worse over time.
If you think of “loneliness” as “unhappiness due to being alone”, and if “creativity tends to come with unhappiness”, wouldn’t that prove the argument?

The conclusion doesn’t seem to be the people in groups are unhappy, just that the output isn’t as novel in contrast.

Maybe being happy stifles our deeper creative powers?

If creating is a reflexive behavior for adapting to circumstance, we need to be less creative on our own when we’re in a group.
Just write a simple financial simulation in e.g. Python.

You can view saving as zero-risk investment, and then find the optimal distribution of income over a number of investments with different risks/returns.
Based on my experience with Etsy, I believe you are both correct. What needs to happen as a directive and embraced as a cultural value at Etsy is for the people now running the company to drop a massive, crushing hammer on low-quality, Alibaba-sourced crap. Turn the entire place upside down. I can't predict what would happen, but it couldn't possibly be worse than what's going on there now and it could very well get some of the consumer goodwill back.
If anyone doesn't want to install `npm` and wants to know what client to use, the Haskell/Stack one is nice. It's pretty snappy and has a sane syntax † and data directory (~/.tldr/).

A very long time ago, there used to be these programs that helped you write, maintain and manage static HTML websites (this was back when CGI was more or less a recent invention, and the only way to have access to it was to run your own server, which was not an option for everyone). It was basically a WYSIWYG HTML editor a la FrontPage (oh, the horror!) + an FTP client + some basic version control and project management all in one solution.

Unix geeks being Unix geeks would bake their own concoctions, with Emacs, Perl and whatnot. I had one lying around for years, dragged kicking and screaming out of the foggy Interwebs of 1998.

This sort of tools were needed because back then, a static website with hundreds, maybe thousands of pages was not at all unheard of. My first paying gig was for a computer magazine which had, in 2002, just upgraded its website to a fancy dynamic thing (it was a CMS, but the system it ran predated the term, I believe). Prior to that, they had a static website, containing a lot of the articles that had been published, mailing list archives (statically generated -- the mail server that was running it was sitting in the corner of an office and it had a cron job doing the archiving) and a bunch of other things. It definitely had thousands of pages, and a lot of them were hand-written.

If you are willing to forgo a couple of things, like managing relative paths, it is remarkably easy to get somewhat primitive (but sufficient) templating support and management out of nothing but your favourite shell which also produces remarkably clean output. At the end of the day, generating a static HTML page largely consists of concatenating a header, body and footer section, then replacing a number of variables.

The script I use today barely has 150 lines, about a third of which are comments. The only thing I need which it does not do is automatically generate RSS entries, which I think would take maybe another 50 lines or so, but I am just too lazy.

For a while, I also used a GUI script I wrote in an afternoon or so, which would help me with things like creating new pages automatically (i.e. writing the initial boilerplate in the right directory), but I found myself using it very rarely or not at all. I thought I would write an emacs mode for it, but it also turned out I just do not really need one.

If you run a blog with a high posting rate, you definitely need a real thing, but if you post maybe one or two things a week... meh. I have been using this contraption for almost two years now, and while some things require manual intervention, I think I have definitely spent less time working around its shortcoming than fiddling with WordPress and managing the whole LAMP (well OpenBSD-Nginx-MP) thing behind it and whatnot.

There are also things like Pelikan, which I am quite certain HN knows about, which are even more flexible than anything one writes by themselves.
Yep. The epitome of this is the infamous Finnish researcher who conducts ostensibly reasonable statistical analysis in order to prove his desired contrarian conclusion that it's beneficial to drink up to six pints of regular strength beer every day, and harmful to have days off drinking...

Even if a model actually succeeds in properly balancing the controls so that as well as controlling for basic demographics it also ensures its non coffee drinkers don't drink a commensurately larger portion of other caffeinated drinks or unhealthy alternative drinks or substitute for the caffeine hit with stronger drugs, and don't have a health reason for cutting caffeine or a cultural/social reason linked to other behaviours or diets, you've then got the problem that people with different genes and physical health likely metabolise coffee in very different ways, and to recommend more or less coffee to a particular individual, you've probably got to untangle all that too...

Yeah, I was also hoping for a CMS in 18 lines of code. You could probably just about build something useful if you get opinionated enough, such as sending requests to https://cdn.rawgit.com, parsing Markdown (if you don't count libraries -- otherwise, cheat by using GitHub's Markdown API :)) and wrapping it in an html file (possibly also from rawgit).

Or, you could build a CMS around https://stackedit.io. It can apparently sync with CouchDB.

I am not sure of your study of problems but you have spoken like techno-functional user. Finding a good translation surely is a big part but then getting things correct is also required. Writing couple of joins to get the correct data is fine but getting the correct join or data type or structure is also required. The difference being running a code for couple of hours vs in couple of minutes.
Money laundering and terrorist financing can be done and is done with fiat currencies too.

Bitcoin is also not a private coin, ledger is public and anyone can analyze the flow of money.

The only private coin I know of is Monero (XMR). Analyzing Monero ledger is like looking at random data, there's no amounts, there's no receivers, there's no senders. Everything is fully, by default, encrypted.

Even receivers can't know who the sender was.

"There's also plenty of cases of actual employees being innovative."
Uh, I don't think that was being questioned here. Englebart did not have a committee to gauge his budget, only the low-bureaucratic ARPA system where he had to convince only one technical person, and not a commitee of generals to get his funding. I presume ARPA itself was under more traditional guidance.

The question was not that there can always be only one protean creator in an organization. The point was that a crowd adds no value to the divergent thought process of innovation. Only a productizes output can be sanely evaluated by a large group. At this point the question is not 'could this work' but rather, does it. The former is subject to mere opinions, whereas the latter is more or less a matter of objective measurement (if done honestly).
