I may have jumped the gun here myself, I tend to get a little overzealous and read into comments too much when it comes to web tech (so often people just outright lie or just repeat what they read online and never actually look into it).

>I may give it another shot...

If you do, I recommend doing a complete uninstall of it, delete your `~/.atom` folder (or `%USERNAME%\.atom` on windows), and reinstall from scratch. I'd also recommend trying out the new-ish "Atom IDE" set of plugins [0] which works fantastically for languages that have an IDE plugin (javascript/typescript, C#, Java, PHP, and some still-kinda-early-stage ones for Go, C++, and rust right now). I don't know what it is about the "IDE-*" packages, but they don't install well to "aged" setups, and they don't uninstall well either. If you don't like them, i'd recommend wiping clean again before moving on... (all the customizability in atom comes with the major downside of needing change-management in your goddamn editor...)

I'll freely admit that the amount of time I sunk into getting my atom install the way I like it probably approaches "not worth it" levels (I tend to do that with any editor!), but spending an hour or 2 looking for and playing with packages really pays off now.

Java will probably always be better off in a "made-for-java" IDE, but i've done a fair amount of C++, PHP, and Go work in Atom and it's a breeze.
Fair enough, it just seemed more impressive in theory. I just did quick search because I saw it at the show.
The issue being rather close to my heart, I'd rather have a single-use 7-year battery + full modern replacement of unit, than have to fiddle with periodic recharging just to prolong use of aging technology. Nobody much wants their life relying on >10 year old computers. (Remember: it's already "old technology" when you first get it implanted.)

Interesting to think about whether half-way solutions might be better.

A robot that puts my kids' clothes in a bag for pickup by a laundry service might be a winner.

Or one that sorts out intimates and drycleaning from towels and shirts, so that the latter can be sent out. My wife's primary objection to laundry service is that it's too personal to send out. Thus, the dream of a robot that can do it all in-house.
The writer of the original article seemed to be not particularly happy to have to "deal with that experience", so was it a choice, or was it an expectation of society there?

It's not a constructive expectation of a society to have imho. A name is an identifier of a person. You need a first and last one to have less same-name clashes.
Not the same. If you got new stock grants in each round and they all vested on that schedule extending farther and farther in the future, then yes, you are correct.

But to say that

'you should take a reduced salary because you get this awesome stock grant that vests over four years'

then for four years say

'you should stay at this lower salary as you are diluted because we are giving you stock every year'

followed after four years by

'you got your stock and that's it so keep working at the lower salary and your now diluted worthless stock'

is not the same at all.
Coincidence, mostly, and perhaps a certain reluctance of people to nuclear armageddon.
You can look at the block rewards and mining fees as interest on your investment. The "saved" part is interesting too - I've seen variations where you have to lock your stake for a longer period (trading rewards for liquidity) or where you have to "burn" an amount of stake, permanently taking it out of circulation to get a spot on the line.

The inflation rate and actual utility of the currency are important factors too - if most of the currency is already distributed and the inflation is low (thus block rewards are low), the richer don't get much richer. If the utility is high, redistribution occurs more naturally as well.

Perhaps the inflation is not low but there are other distribution mechanisms that distribute currency based on utility in a higher rate than block rewards (for example on steem, of all newly minted coins in a block ~5% goes to the block creator, ~65% goes to content creators, ~6% to commenters, ~17% to curators and 7% as interest to those that have commited their stake in a long term deposit).

But yeah, in the end it indeed is a factor which is one of trade offs I mentioned, but there are ways to combat it.
For this you need internal goals, ideally with honest self reflection and continual assessment.

Everyone is different, and there are those people who truly get the motivation by announcing intentions and then try to stick to their word. Research has shown that this isn't true for most, however: Most people sabotage their own success by announcing in advance.

If you don't have the internal motivations, external motivations are unlikely to have any beneficial impact, but are likely to have a detrimental effect.

I know what you mean. I remember noticing this when I was a freshly minted Wolverine and looking at my job prospects. Almost nobody in Michigan seemed to take seriously the prospect that the future might not look like the gloriously shining car-factory-centered past. Not at a policy level and not at a person-on-the-street level.

Sure. That's outside the realms of a discussion of whether equity is reasonable compensation for a lowered salary, though - "not working for bigcorp" is a separate part of the compensation package.

I'm not saying that anyone's wrong for choosing to work for a startup. I'm just saying that it might not be rational. We're human, so that's fine. We're allowed to have non-economic value systems. But anyone walking into a job where options are part of the compensation ought to understand how the company views what it is offering.
You'd have to ask her. She may have wanted to change her name, and was just disappointed that the process wasn't easier, such as publishers having some kind of system to help you, or something like that maybe. But yes I guess it's possible her mother nagged her to do it or some other kind of social pressure, that's possible. But as I say you'd have to ask her.

I'm not saying this isn't a good idea, but my problem is that if I need a battery and can't find one, if a battery is remotely removable I will absolutely take it out instead of not having a charge (rational I think), and then I won't remember to put it back (on me).

So "don't take it out and remember to put it back if you do" is sort of unhelpful in my case. :-)

If you want to be scared silly I can recommend "One Minute to Midnight" by Michael Dobbs - it goes through the Cuban Missile crisis minute by minute with a lot of detail. The number of things that went wrong that almost led to war are remarkable - e.g. who would have thought that the Northern Lights could have helped start a nuclear war.... It also covers the story of the submarine fleet that Vasili Arkhipov was on and why they were a bit tetchy when the US Navy started annoying them.
The false alarms did not cause any actions, because people were not doing their job like machines, but as humans who care about lives.

We should honour those people, even when it is against military codes.

I would like to expand it even to non-nuclear warfare. People that stop destruction or give us insights in our destructive policies. This includes whistleblowers and press that report human rights violations, ecological destruction, and are currently punished for it. This happens in the US too.

The reason 419 scams have near zero credibility (with grammar errors, terrible English, etc) is to increase the signal to noise ratio for the scammers. The less intelligent people who fall for it and are scammable won't be put off since the red flags and bells are ringing. So if they reply, the scammer knows he's got bait. Bots make clever use of this M.O. as well; they tend to behave a bit clumsy, fitting the character of a replier, and get away with it.
Luck and Stanislav Petrov, amongst other reasons. Which is utterly terrifying. I still find it amazing that Stanislav Petrov was fired from his job a few days after averting nuclear Armageddon, I think he was chiefly because he didn't follow protocol. Even though his actions prevented Thermonuclear war.

I also don't imagine there was much of a Unfair Dismissals Tribunal type arrangement for nuclear weapons officers in the USSR.

To me, true minimalism on my desktop came from stopping messing around with different window managers, IDEs, whatever to try to maximize my experience.

Specifically, command line interfaces to Slack and GPM just add more headache and frustration.

My setup: a terminal with tmux; Firefox; Spotify. (Recently switched from GPM, would recommend). Stock everything except dark themes on some stuff and caps lock->ctrl.

I don’t have some super-enlightened workflow where everything is in terminal or has keybinds or something. But more importantly, I’m not continually wasting time on changing my env and adding complexity.

I gotta disagree with you here. I smoke a little bit every day and I've gone through periods of a month or two without smoking and the only difference I found was that it was easier to get up in the morning if I didn't smoke the day before. My cognitive abilities don't seem to be impaired at all. It's possible that smoking pot for you was associated with other lifestyle affects (like sleep quality/duration) that were negatively affecting your cognitive efficiency.

> One particularly ominous example of this nuclear deployment was the Soviets’ “Dead Hand” system, which has only come to light since the end of the Cold War. [...] Almost unbelievably, the Soviet leadership failed to notify the West that it had built this seemingly impregnable nuclear deterrent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand

One of the main reasons (besides the obvious one) for having this system was to protect against hotheaded generals at the top. The reasoning is this - if they know they have the capability of a retaliatory strike, they don't have to rush to press the button, knowing they will still have the ability to retaliate.

That could explain probably why they never bothered to publicly announce it to the West. Or maybe they assumed the West would find out about it through its spy network anyway...
Isn't that like a turkey asking why they haven't been slaughtered yet? Then the day before Thanksgiving comes and times up. That's one of the reasons the U.S. needs to adopt a "no first use" policy. If our adversaries don't have to worry about the U.S. launching another first strike, then the risk of a miscalculation goes down.
Correct, the decay is not affected by the amount of charge you've pulled out of the cell.

What I meant (and should have expressed more clearly) is that the pacemaker will have some minimum current it needs to be able to draw from the TEG to operate, and after the plutonium has decayed to a certain point it won't be able to source enough current to operate, so the pacemaker will brown out.

Most of the wasted energy of fiat currencies is the huge amount of waste due to central banking and fractional reserve banking inflation: military spending, artificial house prices, artificially high stock market. If you add the effect of all these inefficient markets up, Bitcoin's cost for security (which is about 8%/year if you add up transaction fees as well) doesn't sound that bad (and the market shows that it's more efficient than the current system).

I agree, but the challenge is that eventually, always, if I know that thing is in there and for some reason I need one, I will absolutely raid it instead of going without (rationally I think). Once you allow for that eventuality, you either have to remember to recharge it and put it back every time or buy so many its unlikely you will ever run low enough to need to raid it.

I would rather just buy something that couldn't be raided without ruining it or is otherwise unfeasible to use as a replacement for other things, like a large permanently installed battery in a suitcase.

For block rewards you'd have to mine. In particular you'd have to have a server running a node joined in the network ready to generate a block whenever your number is called.

Not everyone would want to do that, so there's usually a mechanism to indicate you want to be eligible to do so, depositing your coins or similar.

That's for block rewards - nothing prevents a blockchain currency to be designed to generate inflation and add interest on everyone's investment - some do exactly that.

Black is fine. But protein (creamer) or sweetener(sugar/artificial) both spike your insulin which lessens autophagy. As the OP Article points out, autophagy leads to longevity in mice and lessens your chance of neurological disease.

In 2016 a Nobel prize was given to Yoshinori Ohsumi for his work on autophagy.
"After infection, autophagy can eliminate invading intracellular bacteria and viruses. Autophagy contributes to embryo development and cell differentiation. Cells also use autophagy to eliminate damaged proteins and organelles, a quality control mechanism that is critical for counteracting the negative consequences of aging. Disrupted autophagy has been linked to Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and other disorders that appear in the elderly. Mutations in autophagy genes can cause genetic disease. Disturbances in the autophagic machinery have also been linked to cancer. Intense research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases." [1]

That said, Dr. Jason Fung says black is better but he allows creamer if needed so that people stick with their fasts.

The threat of dirty bombs is pretty low, there's a reason they aren't used. They are extremely hard to obtain, and don't add a significant amount more deaths (if the blast didn't kill you, the radiation will probably not. Though definitely send you to the hospital). They work great as weapons of terror, and there is a lengthy cleanup process, but there's a reason that they aren't common. The people working on the device are also more likely to die, and more easily caught. The materials are difficult to obtain, but definitely not impossible. It just probably isn't worth the time and effort when you could more easily make and/or obtain more conventional explosives.

This is all assuming the smaller type of explosives used in acts of terror.
I'm equally pleased with the iLife A4 I got over a year ago, also from Gearbest.

I admire its design - it's a fairly simple machine that gets most everything right, including climbing carpet, being fairly quiet, not bumping hard into furniture, not falling off steps, and even returning to its charging base (on command or when battery is low after a couple hours work).

It does not have fancy magnetic barriers to close off areas, but a simple door draft stopper pillow on the floor holds it off well enough.
