I could, having lived there for 5 years, but the linked article and other comments here provide the sufficient documentation don't you think?. I'm not saying it is a completely ubiquitous and homogeneous trait, and it is probably more pronounced in rural areas than in cities for example. Implicit in your question is however an assertion that I object to: that it would be a sign of disrespect to have a more rubbery notion of time than the one we are used to in our clockwork societies. I don't think so at all. This notion of 'respect' may be relevant here in the west, where everyone's life is measured in time, and everyone knows it to be so. I never felt it to be a sign of disrespect when the wedding started the day after the day it was supposed to, or when our guide up Kilimanjaro told us it was maybe five or ten minutes left to the top when it was in fact two hours. It was simply not so important to them.
Is it me or is this article especially poorly worded? It took me a little too much effort to figure out what this figure caption even means:

> Negative ions typically have a geometry that is very close to the transition state of the corresponding neutral reactions

CH3OHF anion is prepared and de-ionized with laser light. It dissociates into methanol and F radial, under very slight changes of the involved molecular geometries...?
Allowing people to do stupid things is part of our culture. Without SAR things like skiing, climbing, sailing, surfing and even basic camping wouldnt exist. If a national park is setup, and people allowed in, we should expect some level of SAR coverage and notice of that coverage. Otherwise, non-pros attempt private rescues that often end badly.

If you are doing something before it is time to leave you might need to rush it to be able to leave on time. Then, after you leave you might get stuck in traffic or come across another unpredictable thing in which case you get worried that you might not make it on time.

I think punctuality is more of a cultural construction thing than an individual one. When I am in my home country I don't think twice if someone is late by 15 minutes but if I am in one of those super punctual countries I start worrying that something might be wrong when that happens. There are also differenct expectations of punctuality depending on the context. If it is a work related meeting then it is very important to get on time but if it is for a social activity then less punctuality is expected.

In secular world views there is no such thing as a soul, thus it can not be eaten. Finding the proper language for these phenomena is however an interesting topic.
I had a phone interview situation like this the other day. The interviewer asked me what I thought of the C++ 11 "auto" specifier. I told him I preferred explicit types for pragmatic reasons and as an aside mentioned that "auto" keyword used to be used for something else in C++. He told me that wasn't true.

This is a problem in multiple cultures and nations not only kenya, and not all kenyans have this attitude towards time. A majority appreciate the value of punctuality
I suspect it is simply not true for most basic necessities.

> That's not what the OP is getting at. BI may work well given certain preconditions, and subpopulations. But what use is the money if resource supply and the productive capacity of the economy is limited?

I'd go further and say this is not true for most consumables within reasonable limits. Does this sound like a circular logic? I think my reasoning is flawed (I hope it is not) so pardon my thinking out loud. I mean if I define luxuries as superior goods[wiki] which we consume more of as we have more disposable income, then I imagine we might see prices increase on those things at some point but we don't mind because they are luxuries. But can we dismiss all superior goods as luxuries? If we can prove this connection, then I think we can put down this fear of inflation once and for all.

Thoughts?

[wiki] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_good Superior goods make up a larger proportion of consumption as income rises, and therefore are a type of normal goods in consumer theory. Such a good must possess two economic characteristics: it must be scarce, and, along with that, it must have a high price. The scarcity of the good can be natural or artificial; however, the general population (i.e., consumers) must recognize the good as distinguishably better. Possession of such a good usually signifies "superiority" in resources, and usually is accompanied by prestige.

Like it or not, /pol/ is exactly that for the alt-right. It's also started to seep out into the other boards, which is something of a problem to be solved.
It’s a daily learning and reacting experience. The latest neurologist has me on Botox (for migraine), a sleep aide, and muscle relaxers. Many of them seem to be a muscle spasm in my trapezius, but not all. The muscle relaxers have done an amazing amount of help for me. Also learning the “crocodile” yoga position. That pose relaxes the trapezius muscle seemingly immediately.

Headaches are incredibly complex. They can be related to sleep issues, stress, hormones, muscular, and probably many more things I don’t know. I’d suggest your friend find a neurologist who specializes in migraines.

Veganism, I think, helps. Apparently there is a tie between the gut and the brain that can trigger migraines. Personally I’ve had severe migraines seemingly resolve after a sudden sharp stomach pain, for instance. That, I think, has only happened once or twice. I’m going vegan primarily for unrelated reasons. My bet is it probably helps as a plant based diet (for me) stresses the body less than meat/Dairy.

I hope your friend can get her migraines under control. They robbed me of a masters degree and many other things through the years. Let me know if she wants to compare notes with me on this.

Cheap food is why the norms played out like they did. In places with less easy access to calories, fat is considered beautiful and thin ugly.

On a country scale, see 'Top Hacker News Books 2017' #13 - Kicking away the Ladder. [https://hackernewsbooks.com/year/2017]

Part of the synopsis: "... that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing countries from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves have used."
Probably fine, provided you trained your tongue and brain to not be so sweet driven.

For example, I don't (read: close to can't) drink full strengh juice or sports drinks. I cut them with approx 75% water. I can't imagine how people don't do this.

BTW, I a couple weeks ago I noticed the "one third the sugar" grape juice looks to be nothing other than regular grape juice with water added. Imagine that, same price, one-third the actual product. Great work if you can get it.

Values that help make us happier are internal values, things that we have immediate control over (honesty, creativity, respect for ourself and others, etc.). External values, often comparing ourselves to others, don’t really make us happy.
> Very heart warming article, glad to hear about empirical evidence that basic income leads to fruitful, productive lives.

But of course it does because there is a Big White Friendly Brother supplying the money. If it was coming from Kenya's budget, these people would have to be taxed at a higher rate just so there is enough money to distribute as basic income.

Funny, that's exactly what the sugar industry has been trying to push into the public hivemind: Don't worry about sugar intake, just calories -- they're all the same.

Not surprised to see it on HN, they are very successful at having us do their bidding for them under cute and worthless platitudes like "calories in, calories out."
Well, it depends. At my job, we do give feedback to all our candidates. Basically, we condense our notes about the candidate down to the most important points and send it to them. We've found that candidates appreciate getting this kind of feedback because:

1. It gives them a kind of closure and treats them with respect.

2. It can help them improve for future applications.

Usually, the reason is not "Someone else is a better fit". We're not just trying to fill one position -- if we find good engineers, we'll hire them. Usually feedback is related to stuff that came up in either the coding project or the interview. It helps people in the same way that code review helps them: by giving them an opportunity to learn and improve.
> You'd have to ban them owning property or businesses in the country too. Otherwise they'd just stay but without citizenship or taxes.

This is why we need the estate tax (Paris Hilton tax or death tax as opponents like to say) to stay and probably increase in rate.

> For 2017, the estate and gift tax exemption is $5.49 million per individual, up from $5.45 million in 2016. That means an individual can leave $5.49 million to heirs and pay no federal estate or gift tax.

This is plenty generous. We should tax any estate beyond that at a minimum of fifty percent and close all loopholes.

I am not a big fan of income tax on businesses but I can see why we need it.

Oil and solar don't really compete that much. Oil - even at $40 a barrel - is substantively more expensive than pretty much everything else for generating electricity and is rarely used for anything beyond small scale generation.

Oil is valuable because of gasoline/diesel which about 3/4 of the barrel goes to. It's all about the ease of transportation that ICE/gasoline/diesel offer that no other fuel can really compete on.

The more relevant factor is the price of batteries which might make solar and other electricity sources viable competitors to oil.

Really changed how I think about programming.
Depends on how you define fault here. Is it mere logical correctness of code or any error that might occur when code executes. If we follow former definition of fault then , they both are similar in being "fault-proof". If we follow later definition then execution environment of the program comes into play and it depends on a lot of variables and their complex interplay, that it becomes much harder to provide any formal guarantees of fault tolerance.

However there are execution environments, read RTOS that try to be fault tolerant. Also various virtual machines like JVM,CLR try to provide fault tolerance to varying degrees.
I'm a US-based (Ohio), experienced dev, in an in-demand field - so this might not be the same for everyone - but it sounds believable to me.

I just recently switched jobs, and I only seriously talked to 4 companies, all about remote roles. In all cases the companies/recruiters reached out to me, and so I basically skipped the application process.

Two made offers, one came to a mutual conclusion with me that it wasn't a good fit, and one told me that they changed their mind about remote work and would want me to move within 6 months, so I called it off.

I start at Tanium tomorrow :)

An issue with Stack Overflow is that the site incentivizes people with badges to review and disposition large numbers of questions and posts, which spurs Fastest Gun in the West competitions. For a new user unfamiliar with the culture, this can result in a question being downvoted and closed within minutes — not a terribly welcoming feel.

Changing the site’s incentives to reward soft skills such as mentoring and encouraging new users seems like a really hard problem.

Answering your own question is 100% in bounds; no one should criticize you for that. However, an answer should be posted as an answer, not a comment. My imagination fails early in the morning pondering how one might accidentally use a comment for an answer.

The original texts of these books may now be in the Public Domain, but in order for the lay-person to get a copy (assuming the current publishers don't upload a copyright-free version to say, Gutenberg), you have to scan/OCR an existing copy.

This is where the problem begins, the text of a novel maybe in the public domain but the typesetting, binding and printing of most editions is not.

As such you'll be in breach of copyright if you try to OCR a copy and distribute it.

I'm sure someone will try to call me out on this, but my partner is a qualified librarian, with a specialism in copyright law.

From your comment, I think the funding and development process of these post Bell Lab/PARC research projects might need a paradigm change from technology idea oriented to social development oriented due to the reality of our highly networked social environment (the dream of Licklider).
