A note on the architecture from the demo:

The vast majority of ancient buildings follows quite simple procedural methods that only very recently got reverse engineered:

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Francisco_Javier_Roldan...

(I suspect this method also permits approximating the plastic number [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_number ], but so far it seems nobody has figured out a way to do so yet. I mention this due to the architectural relevance of the plastic number.)

I speculate that leveraging this fact could likely permit even more complex architecture in demos. (And, to mention an off topic point, it likely has some relevance for automating UI layouting.)
That’s so little money compared to the size of the companies, and consistent with what I said elsewhere—it’s money used to pay lobbyists for making PowerPoint presentations on tech policy. That may or may not be bad because smaller players can’t afford similar influence, but it’s not the greasing palms that people think of when they rail against lobbying.
There was a point in the 90s when tech companies weren't interested in politics so much. They mostly tried to be better at technology and business and stay out of that game.

Things like anti-trust suits, vague IP law, and domain name disputes disabused tech companies of that notion quickly. They couldn't afford not to get involved in lobbying.
This has been a major annoyance for me my entire life. Of course, you cannot possibly produce a long knock, any more than shooting someone slowly is a vengeful way of killing.

What I guess you can do is vary the acoustics of your knocks (think knuckles vs palm) but this will require the recieving party to do much more processing when decoding.
From my point of view is that they are also well maintained. Imagine being a young spouse and your military spouse is earning more than enough to keep Both of you happy. Why pursue something outside of Netflix and chill? That and if a deployment comes around, you can just go back home to your parents house while saving all that money for rent.

Former skydiver here, 1400+ jumps logged. The effects of skydiving on you mental state are well known to us, though rarely put into writing. I'll defer to Charles Lindbergh, who had a way with words (in addition to airplanes) to sum it up [1]:

"When I decided that I too must pass through the experience of a parachute jump, life rose to a higher level, to a sort of exhilarated calmness. The thought of crawling out onto the struts and wires hundreds of feet above the earth, and then giving up even that tenuous hold of safety and of substance, left me a feeling of anticipation mixed with dread, of confidence restrained by caution, of courage salted through with fear.

How tightly should one hold onto life? How loosely give it rein? What gain was there for such a risk? I would have to pay in money for hurling my body into space. There would be no crowd to watch and applaud my landing. Nor was there any scientific objective to be gained. No, there was deeper reason for wanting to jump, a desire I could not explain. It was that quality that led me into aviation in the first place — it was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of man — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same instant."

Are you saying that Lithuania in 1939-1940 tried to invade USSR? Or in 1918, when Lithuania got it's independence from Germany occupational government?

Lithuania territory at either time was smaller than original GDL territory "some 200 years ago" before the expansions. It was core GDL territory since first internationally recognised state in that area was formed in 13th century and stayed so till the Partitions in late 18th century.

Also, there was that simple act of sending ultimatum to replace government to a specific one, holding staged elections and then having that government "ask to join" USSR. All under overwhelming USSR army presence. Pretty much textbook occupation if you ask me...

>Lobbying is a way for the rich to legally shortcircuit democracy. It’s legal corruption and as bad for democracy as the illegal counterpart.

Lobbying is the lifeblood of American democracy, and the system was expressly designed for it, so its a little odd hearing you instead posit that it’s actually not.

Maybe you’re thinking of modern campaign financing?

I spent a while trying and failing to use DDG reliably. Then I took a second pass a bit later, the results were only a little worse than Google.

Then over time, I found myself using the !g command to double check DDG less and less.

I did a !g search for the first time in several months yesterday, and laughed when I saw how much worse Google’s results were.

Try it for a month. You may find out that you’re just used to a particular way of searching Google. Maybe DDG will offer you something better once you get a little familiarity.

In particular, I find technical topic searches to be head-and-shoulders better with DDG than Google.
> idea generation is equal parts people, ie brain power, and platform, ie the ability to iterate

To be clear, when you talk about the platform, you mean the research platform used to develop the idea, rather than the execution platform used to apply the idea, right?

What is there to such a platform? What does it actually do? Is it just a question of pumping historical data into a model and measuring its performance?
>If you have to package images separately when sharing, then wouldn't inline images score a point for easier sharing?

I guess that depends on who you're sharing with and how. If you're using git, you can just add them to your repo (only they won't clobber your diffs). If you're just publishing, you can export to HTML and put it somewhere online.

>Agreed, and that is powerful, but this also goes to my point. Jupyter is made for python and org mode isn't. Jupyter comes with python and libraries, where with Emacs you're on your own to figure out how to install and use different languages, and setup your environment so Emacs can see them

Well, that requires a minimum of computer literacy, but rocket science, it ain't. I agree that Emacs is not for everyone, but if you're doing data analysis (and presumably something with the results), it's certainly not out of reach, and good tooling is worth learning.

I agree that Jupyter is "easier", but it's not simpler. And also, it's limiting in what it can do. So yes, you might get up and running a bit faster, but you're setting yourself for frustration down the line.

> Yes, but the editor is Emacs.

Precisely, it's vastly better than the alternative. If you don't like the bindings, you can use Evil (this is my choice, despite never having been a heavy vi user), or CUA mode, and get a more familiar experience for people used to Windows.
I'd second this. It really is a phenomenal book. For me, the most interesting thing about it is it would probably be a terrible meditation guide for a lot of people I know. But if you have the approach/learning style that's typical of folks on hacker news, it's the best book there is--because of its emphasis on clearly elucidated concepts, consistent use of language and terms, ample neuroscience-oriented background, and an "actionable" progressive approach.
I think each reviewer has its own process. I believe the video doesn't come first in most cases since it's faster to sort via text.

As creepy as it may be, coconut crabs "hunting" in this manner--let alone being caught on film--is truly rare. I grew up hunting them with my brother as a kid, crawling along cliffs where they can often be found hiding, and in the jungle near beaches. They truly are an exotic delicacy (fruit bat and sea turtle are the only other things I've tried that come close on the exotic scale, the former being prepared in a similar manner)...which also means they don't live long lives outside of wildlife reserves due to being overhunted by indigenous peoples.
For me, the one thing that really worked well is setting up a blocklist (basically pointing "bad" domains to 0.0.0.0) and using dnsmasq to use that list. I've setup a cronjob to update the list daily so it was basically a one time step. I don't have metrics but overall loadtimes are much faster. Of course, this is limited to my PC so I'll have to set it up on my router for all devices at home to benefit from it (and even that doesn't take care of browsing experience outside home).
True. You need to have charitable giving, etc., and make enough money that the standard deduction might not apply. It's generally a problem for people making enough money to buy their own home, etc.

Yes! Each node has a name and you would look into the functions on the Node module on how to do that. In Elixir you'd say:

...(3)> end
...(3)> end
iex(4)> Node.spawn_link(:erlang.node(), fn -> Hello.world() end)

Time and time again more evidence is propping up stating the benefits of exercise. I think Patio11 summed it up well, roughly stating that as we are all working with the same hardware(the body) then we should work to maintain it in top shape.

If you maintain your body in a weak state, it would seem that your body would have to maximize its output with a lesser performing system. Imagine trying to perform well when you have a heart that’s got 1/4 the performance of a well maintained one.

Imagine the downstream effects of all this!

> How easy is it to share a Jupyter notebook with someone else, versus sharing an org-mode notebook?

Well, now you're talking about a whole environment. Use docker, or VMs or whatever. There's plenty of options for doing this (we actually use Docker for Jupyter, to make sure we work off a consistent install, so I guess sharing can be non-trivial if you walk a bit off the beaten path, anyway)

> If I choose to use a different language than Python in my org-node notebook, the recipient will have to install that programming language and environment themselves before they can use your notebook.

Sure, and if you need to use another language from your Jupyter notebook, you can't. I don't get your point. Yes, if you need to use a tool, you need to install it. It requires a minimum of computer literacy.
because for most apps, you will be bottlenecked by the database server.

This seems to contradict another article posted on HN I read recently, which says memories are lost due to brain cell growth after physical activity!

https://www.vox.com/2014/5/8/5695500/why-cant-you-remember-b...

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/05/how-brain-deletes-old...

Which contradicts yet another article which says that growing new brain cells can improve memory:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1244332/How-runnin...

So which is it? I think we need scientists to take two contradicting studies and try to find out the root cause of a discrepancy, instead of making a third study. To do that, they need to record as much as they can, and a meta-study needs to look at the actual discrepancies that can account for a change.

Amphetamine is fascinating in both a good and a bad way. Low to moderate doses seem to be performance enhancers for many people, but high doses and abuse can be incredibly destructive both to the self and... others... and in curious ways.

Psychedelics inspire more fascination and so more has been written about them. Too little has been written on the large effects that dopamine based stimulants have had on history. They seem to at times inspire people to make huge forceful decisions. They can be very good or very bad but they're always very big.

On one end: Hitler and the Nazis used a ton of meth, and it was likely how starting a war on two fronts and the holocaust seemed like good ideas. "Blitzkreig" just feels like "methkreig" to me.

On the other end look up "Dr. Feelgood" and other less well known "amphetamine doctors" of the 50s-70s and the many notable people they treated. Among these are JFK, and I've wondered about this and how it might relate specifically to the famous "we choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard."

It's a subject that awaits several very big books to anyone interested in investigating it.

There's the dopamine hypothesis that posits that schizophrenia is caused by over-active dopamine receptors. It's based on the evidence that dopamine releasing agents like stimulants can cause pyschosis and that the medications used to treat schizophrenia block dopamine receptors. However, there's good deal of evidence that there's more to schizophrenia than just over-active dopamine receptors.

Thank you. You are spot on with the quackery! This matches my experiences in participating in a course in Germany.

> Maybe try hanging out with people praising homeopathy and not saying a single negative word as preparation for the kinds of things you're going to feel?

Honestly, the day when silence is broken was hard to grok. The vast majority of participants were deep into esoteric and quackery themes and had a religious admiration for the teachings. Critical discussion is not exactly forbidden but usally swept away.

It's also powerful, I remember speaking that day to someone more sceptical than me at the time and trying to calm him down. In retrospective he was right and I turned into an advertising machine the following weeks - I realized that only quite a while later.

The topics and language used in the course also had a lot of pseudo-scientific topics (even quoting engineers) that are hard to dismantle on first sight.

That beeing said, it's still worth the experience and it was comfortable but be ready to get exposed to all kinds of quack.

The point here becomes that the original data source(s) are freely available and often unlicensed. Same example: the local bakery is not going to license their website information (or often the site is copyrighted by the creating company). You can copy this information to OSM. You can copy this information to Google Maps and OSM at the same time. Google cannot put this information under their license with a ‘no extraction’ rule because they don’t own that information. I get that OSM has to be cautious but no sane judge would ever rule in Google’s favor in this case.
