And yes, I think 10% off of $50 million is plenty fair. Yes, you earned that money, and I bet you would use it productively instead of blowing it on a yacht. But there are homeless people freezing to death on the streets of New York today. Don't you think you can spare a little?

Fundamentally, like I said, I agree that the top 1% by wealth is different than the top 1% by income. Perhaps we should tax income using tax brackets that scale with net worth.

Somewhat unrelated, it would be great to have a Medium-style highlight feature for codebases, where you could onboard developers toward excellent practice by highlighting good code in a repository that consists of various levels of code.
If that is a serious question its because the drug analog act explicitly excludes certain drugs from being defined as a drug analog including drugs approved by the FDA.

> (C) Such term does not include -
(i) a controlled substance;
(ii) any substance for which there is an approved new drug application;
(iii) with respect to a particular person any substance, if an exemption is in effect for investigational use, for that person, under section 355 of this title to the extent conduct with respect to such substance is pursuant to such exemption; or
(iv) any substance to the extent not intended for human consumption before such an exemption takes effect with respect to that substance.

I feel like I'm struggling with this problem to. Somewhat luckily my attention span was never that big so I haven't lost a lot.

I think most of the things we do in day to day live consist of habits combined with choices we make. I think our attention span is mostly a habit.

The things I do in day to day live ingrain some habits. I like to read a lot on the internet, learn about things. However a lot of the content on the internet currently focuses on short attention spans, things like reddit (clicking on a few pictures, opening an impressive title) and social media. They focus on short attentions spans because it's easier to keep someones attention that way. For me this formed some habits which fit short attention spans like opening up a lot of pages and reading small parts of them. For me this lead to fast short term rewards.

Reversing this habit of a short attention span is like an exercise. Staying away from sites which cater to short attention spans and only opening one page at a time which I read completely. In that way I try to learn a new habit. I don't use reddit a lot anymore and I try to use hackernews instead because there are a lot more longer articles here of greater quality, requiring longer attention spans. Maybe that could help you. But all of this is obviously completely personal and anecdotal.

Some things which I found helpful:
Charles Duhigg: The Power of Habit (Book about habits)
The Coursera course: Learning How to Learn (Since learning requires a long attention span)

Ask HN More Like Hackernews: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3734303 Contains a lot of sources like longforms.org, https://aeon.co and https://aldaily.com websites which have content which requires long attention spans.

> I have had a very hard time explaining to people that I just think thoughts, like flashes of... thinking, without words or actions or images.

If you start making a lot of money, you'll have enough to hire high priced consultants. If you're just starting up and concentrating on your actual busines, not IT, you shouldn't be worried about the best web framework.

Also, for businesses just starting up, you just need simple HTML. The only information you need to expose are hours of operation, address, and a list of services/goods with prices. Everything else can come later, when you're getting enough business to justify it.

My main point is that small webdevs are going to start getting starved for work. They're getting replaced by generated HTML which do a good enough job for free.
The sorry state of OpenSSL usability
There are only two ways to break the duopoly: create your own massive medium like Facebook or work with publishers. Having worked in this industry, I think working with publishers is an impossible battle. The whole publishing world is rife with fraud and desperate attempts to increase page views.

Most publishers cram their websites with ads. The number of low-content, click-baity websites is just staggering. Sometimes I wonder how could this even be a profitable proposition for advertisers. This is one reason why Google absolutely dominates the space. It has the capability to deal with all the fraud, calculate the right reward for publishers, and give a meaningful ROI to the advertiser.

Maybe a new kind of advertisement medium could unseat Google from its dominance but the way digital advertising works today, it sounds like an impossible idea.
Agreed - although the argument that Apple makes the choices for you is laughable when you consider how many SKUs there are for a lot of their devices these days (never mind watch bands!).
Ethereum has been used to raise huge amounts of money, but almost solely for pre-orders of tokens of distributed protocols, which will potentially provide holders with utility.

The STe Blitter was really great, but totally underutilized because it was such a small fraction of the ST market. Atari really dropped the ball by getting the Blitter to market so late.

Interesting the different approaches. Commodore shipped the Amiga 1000 at too expensive a price point, and so Tramiel (who had rushed the ST to market just before the Amiga) got in with a rock bottom priced machine that initially looked like it would kill the Amiga (which was his intention.) But Commodore followed up with the cost reduced Amiga 500 which ended up winning against Atari Corp in the home gaming market (though IMHO the ST and offshoots were still far better productivity machines than the Amiga and did well in that market in Germany).

Going back to some of those ST games I loved, they have really crappy frame rates and high latencies.

Well, the fact that CP violation is related to the "existence of the universe" (which I guess refers to Baryogenesis) is not ambitious. It's also not terribly surprising that there would be CP violation in neutrinos.

It's true that the significance isn't enough to meet the standard in particle physics, but a result will always be weak before it is strong, so this is still something that's exciting. It should also be noted that the 5-sigma "standard" is set to be so stringent partially because physicists in the past were not so good at estimating things like trial factors and systematic errors. We are better at this now (and T2K has some talented statistics-minded physicists on it), so I wouldn't immediately dismiss it on those grounds.

I started doing this about a week ago, and it's nice to hear it took you a month, because it's kinda been painful this past week.

I still unlock my phone and look at the homescreen only to realize "oh yeah, I removed that stuff so there's nothing to do here". I'd thought that by removing social/news feeds, I would find something else to do with my thoughts by necessity, but really nothing has replaced the "open phone for 30 seconds to find something briefly entertaining".

I was expecting to be bored, but it's more of a low-level frustration at all times except when I'm focused on something, like I know I could be finding some trivial but interesting thing.
The one grayed down comment. I agree whole heartedly.

Maybe to lower down expectations we should have two names: Universe existence and Universe formation.

Universe formation is how the universe "formed".

Universe existence is how the universe come to exist out of nothing.

The article and neutrino experiment talk about the former. The latter is more interesting, though.
At 38% Earth's surface gravity, you might need to wear lead clothing all the time anyway, just to keep your bone strength and muscle tone.

As a Processing aficionado, I find his liquidation of that language (with little explanation of how it fails to pertain to Arduino’s IDE) to be a bit dissatisfying.
I found the exact source of the falsehood, its from a stackexchange discussion about theoretical sci fi aspects of lunar sports injuries and if you jumped down a vertical lunar mineshaft pressurized to 1 atm the lower gravity means terminal velocity would be reached in about 1 km of falling (handwavy) at roughly 45 MPH (actually 49 m/s).

https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/4678/how-far-can-y...

a 100+ MPH impact on earth would require a survival capsule too tough for normal purposes so we use parachutes. However a 45 MPH impact is unsurvivable if naked but a car like structure for an elevator means you could likely walk away from a mining accident where your elevator falls down a mineshaft on the moon. Its likely lunar mineshaft elevators will require little more than extensive crumple zones in the floor, unlike on earth. Also on the earth stuntmen require weird inflated balloons to break their fall but on the moon a terminal velocity of only 45 MPH means something like a ball pit or a relatively shallow (compared to earth...) water pool would make falls survivable.

I'm too lazy to run the math to figure out the maximum gravity where a human could fall from a very far height and hit the ground at less than a survivable 10 MPH or whatever is defined as survivable.

https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/4678/how-far-can-y...

The big mistake of course is the lunar atmosphere is, as an engineering approximation, 1e-15 atm not 1.00 atm.

In practice its interesting to think about a micrometeor strike hitting a large structure, given the very low mass and low structural stability of a random rock chunk vs aerodynamic forces, it would blast clean thru the ceiling, then shatter and lose velocity very quickly down to sonic range or perhaps far below. Something like a giant balloon stretched over a tall crater would be reasonably survivable when hit by a meteor. Decades ago how to repair the tiny slow leak would be a major puzzle, today its just a boring job for an autonomous drone. Possibly the assumption in the article is if the roof is thousands of meters overhead and a meteor breaches the roof, it'll hit a human in the head at 45 MPH, which is quite survivable if the colonists wear construction hard hats but not so good out in the open. Sleep with a roof over your head, even rather minimal, and you probably won't wake up dead, if the balloon ceiling is far enough overhead.
> 80% of the impact comes from 20% of the work.

This simply has no basis in reality nor research and it pains me to see it propagated.

The old VLSI design koan is: "The first 90% of the project takes 90% of the schedule. The last 10% of the project also takes 90% of the schedule. 90% of the engineering occurs in the last 10% of the project."

That's certainly how it's been un until now and probably in the near future, but there is nothing apart from history that indicates it will always be in the future.

No physical laws preclude a machine that can operate independently and is more capable than humans at any human activity. If we ever make a machine like that, you won't be able to say that "oh, that's just computer science". Well, of course you could, but you would also have met the original definition of general AI.

One thing that stuck out for me was this comment:

"Amiga Do we have enough CPU time to rebuild everything on the screen every frame? Just about."

That seems dubious, given he says the Atari ST is "not really". Both had the same processor and the ST had a higher clock rate. The Amiga could only out-do the ST in graphics performance because of sprites and scrolling, but manually rebuilding the whole framebuffer on every refresh was not possible on _either_ machine. The Amiga could "cheat" by using dedicated hardware for specialized tasks. But could not really rebuild a whole frame each time either.
Typically these “futuristic” prosthetics are still relying on myoelectric sensing and a lot of wishful thinking. It’s nice to see some meaningful progress in more detailed sensing technologies. This actually seems promising.

In my city low income people are technologically literate enough to have smartphones.
The poor are excluded from traditional taxis as well, whereas at least ride-hailing can pool people together to lower prices. In the future we might see larger van formats operating like buses with ad-hoc routing.
I personally favor subsidized public transit options, and don't think ride hailing apps discourage that any more than taxis. If anything, ride hailing apps help transition people away from car ownership and into mixed use transit.
I did this retreat and found it to be extremely valuable (http://www.curiousjuice.com/blog-0/bid/141396/Vipassana-10-d...).

However, its value only carries if you continue meditating daily, at least for 30min, which I haven't done and I suspect most of us will struggle to do after the retreat.

I agree with the last point that most tech is aimed to get your attention and few things are actually worth it. I'm working on a model for news/media that addresses this shortcoming.
You'd be better off talking about household-adjusted median disposable income at PPP levels. It still makes your point, not as dramatically but more solidly. There's a table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income#Median_equivalen...

There's another chart here, from OECD with similar distribution and levels: https://mises.org/blog/when-it-comes-household-income-sweden...

(You need to adjust for different levels of required expenditures (different things are subsidised in different countries), different cost levels for local goods and services, different worker participation rates (e.g. dual income vs single income), etc.)
I'd look into the Dell XPS. Its build quality competes with the MacBook, it's one of the smallest laptops of it size (either 13 or 15) and the 4k screen is absolutely stunning (although some prefer fhd for the improved battery life). I got mine recently and I'm loving it.

I went from a stolen 2015 MBP to an X230 (modified with an X220 keyboard) to a new MBP. With the thinkpads, the smaller screen and lower resolution will take some getting used to. Running a customized window manager in Linux is the best solution when it works but you shouldn't discount the amount of time you will lose to tinkering and random breakages.

My personal belief is that, for a working dev, MacOS is still the best deal running. The fact of the matter is that it will always work and any new software you want to install will have a well documented how to. Even if you don't want to run MacOS, I'd still probably recommend buying an MBP and dual booting linux on it. Thinkpads are great, the x220 keyboard is probably the best keyboard ever put on a laptop, but the screens are horrible, you will notice the RAM and CPU shortage, and battery life was an issue. Further, the form factor is not as small as an MBP.

If you are going down the Thinkpad route, the X62 is an interesting option custom made by an enthusiast group in Shenzhen. [1] Otherwise, Hackaday wrote a fairly modern Thinkpad buyer's guide [2]. One thing I would note is that upgrading the x230 keyboard to the x220 keyboard is trivial and only requires a jeweler's screwdriver and a few new parts (about $70). You can also upgrade the x230 screen to an HD screen but that is a significantly more complicated upgrade.

Nutrition.

I have struggled quite a bit with attention. The single most effective thing I can do (more effective than medication) is to improve my diet by cutting out carbs. I find if I am in a mild state of ketosis (greater than 0.3), I can concentrate way better. I am not advocating that everyone go on a ketogenic diet, but cutting out refined sugar and eating only healthy nutrient-rich carbs does wonders for my brain, i.e. salad, blueberries, kale, etc
