> Its large brain and sophisticated nervous system, camera-like eyes, flexible bodies, instantaneous camouflage via the ability to switch color and shape are just a few of the striking features that appear suddenly on the evolutionary scene

Argument from incredulity.

> The genome of the Octopus shows a staggering level of complexity with 33,000 protein-coding genes more than is present in Homo sapiens.

Red herring.

> this “great leap forward” in complexity was due to “cryopreserved squid and/or octopus eggs” crashing into the ocean on comets millions of years ago

No evidence provided to support this claim. In addition, Cephalopoda is a very well documented clade. Meaning we have fossilized evidence the octopuses originated and developed on this planet.

> crashing into the ocean on comets millions of years ago.

Probabilistic fallacy. Interstellar objects in our solar system are rare (only one ever documented). Comets seeded with eggs have never been documented and should be considered exceedingly rare. The number of comets that ever make contact with Earth is very, very low.

I think the updated version is called Magic Body Control [1] and the videos show an impressive behavior. But when this tech came out a couple of years ago, Autobild have tested it thoroughly and said that it works well on big bumps, but on everyday small street bumps and cracks that you mostly see on the streets, there was no effect. And it costs additional ~10k EUR...

Evolution doesn't make any claims about the origin of life, only how it evolves over time, and how speciation occurs.

You want to rail against abiogenesis i suppose, because a magic being with fairy dust outside of time and space is more likely.
That's some of the issue. Also probably some usability and integration problems. Zocdoc tells some good stories about how hard integration with medical software is.
Nope, I've never done any acting. But Director Clint Eastwood has a reputation for "one take" and seems to disagree with you:

"Everybody's heard those nightmare stories of somebody doing a take 20, 30, 40 times. Other than obvious errors like forgetting a line, often I can't see any difference between take one and take 20."

modem ad technology can do it... your mastercard and visa purchase behavior, for example, is available for purchase. That data can be merged with other purchased data, and things like aggregated browsing behavior. This is all done to serve people who may be in my target audience with (semi) personalized ads. The ad may not appeal to you, so it gets classified as spam.
What if there were right ways that don't involve coercion?

This is how I decided where to go to college :)

I think one reason this "works" is that by the time I've gotten to the point where I'm willing to decide based on a coin flip I've normally saturated myself with as much information and argument as I can expect to get. If I'm still on the fence, that probably means that even if the end the decision is very high stakes, I probably have judged the two choices about equal.

As a counter anecdote: I tried this, gave it a willing shot, saw no improvement.

Also tried a large amount of physio, ergonomic things, etc.

In the end, there were four specific things that made a difference:

* Trigger point massage
* A specific physio who used MAT
* A sit/stand desk that let me get my desk low enough, as well as standing.
* The handshoe mouse (mice and trackpads had been a big cause of my rsi)

Those are out of a long list that didn't work. So, if you're reading this, have rsi, and nothing has improved it: there might still be something that does.

It can be a very difficult problem to assess accurately. But in my own case, when something worked, it worked near instantly.

Writing this to point out that failure to resolve the problem with physical methods doesn't necessarily mean others won't work. Took me eight months to find the first two, and eight years before the problem worsened again and forced me to seek out the final two.
The first thing I looked for (and found) was the examples directory.

I'm not a Fortran person and can't give you a real answer. I can suggest some things to help narrow down your search.

Do you know if the code base is in Fortran 77, Fortran 90, or something more recent? It doesn't make sense to look at code base which uses a lot of Fortran 2008 features if you are going to be using F90.

Which field will you be working in? If you are going to work on fluid dynamics it may not make much sense to look at an astrodynamics package.

My limited search found a few places you might look at where people asked something similar to your question:

> Why does sex cause octopuses to self-destruct?

Yeah, this has got to be one of the saddest parts. As smart as these creatures are, they really must start over again from ground zero for every generation. Imagine what they could do if they had parents to teach them behaviourly as they grew up.

I assume we have no better luck keeping moms alive in captivity when breeding as well?
It's all relatively new code. Fortran 2003 and newer.
The thing is that "not knowing casualty" along with "lack of understanding" feels very plausible for an explanation of what current AI is missing. And while AI has made lots of progress, it certainly feels like this progress is all of a certain kind (though that could the human reflex to discount any problem solved by robot).

The problem might be that "understanding" isn't something we really have a good working definition of.

I see hysteria about Ebola. As if it has the potential to wipe out millions.

If Ebola was prone to causing large-scale epidemics, Ebola would have caused large-scale epidemics.

Want to worry? Worry about flu. Worry about smallpox. Those viruses have killed millions and, most likely, will continue to do so now and again in the centuries to come.

But Ebola? Not a chance. How do I know? Because, there is every reason to believe the virus has been around forever, and it's never caused the type of pandemic described by doomsayers.

Show HN: Tech “explained” Like you're Five!
Mention anything about working with blockchains on HN and you get downvoted. I'm not sure how this place became so close-minded, or if HN was always this way and I changed.

A side project is risk. It's time and money that you invest into something. Working with chains requires technical and engineering solutions. You can build dapps, tokens, chain integrations, or just set up some mining/nodes.
The examples in the article are mostly people who want to disappear in meatspace. Not specifically on the Internet. That's hard, unless you totally drop out of modern society. Or have resources to create shell corporations.

Disappearing on the Internet, however, is pretty easy. Just delete all of your old accounts. Email, social media, everything. You can check periodically for traces, as long as you use Tor. Or better, Tor accessed through a VPN, or through nested VPN chains.

But really, even that is usually not necessary. Just compartmentalize. For anything that you wouldn't share freely with the police, potential employers, your family or whatever, use a persona. Indeed, have multiple personas. Each one should be isolated from others. Different VMs, or perhaps different hardware. Different LAN. Different path to the Internet.
There's plenty of criticism on his Foundation as well. Even if everything it does is good (on which, see above), there would certainly be questions about whether the money is being spent in the best way possible. Setting all of this aside, I think Gates would have to eradicate several horrible diseases just to break even karmically.
if you have android you can get Netguard from github [0]. Its from the Xprivacy dev; functions as a firewall (VPN), w/o root. The github version supports ability to load Hosts file that can block domains (ads) - like the hosts files used by Ublock. This generally blocks ads across the OS. iOs should have something similar.

As a fellow rubyist in python land, I’m also a fan of Pipenv because it uses a model I understand very well - that of Bundler (and similar to that of Cargo and Yarn). I do have some technical issues with it, like the strange hiding of the virtualenv in a random-like location instead of .venv by default, but overall it’s a large improvement over requirements.txt/setup.py/frozen_requirements.txt and even the new toml thing.

Maybe there is some inside baseball going on here when it comes to python foundation etc, but as an outsider looking in the vitriol seems totally unnecessary. I wouldn’t develop Python software w/o Pipenv.

Oh c'mon now, this is not 2007 first year of Twitter. I'm sure there is bunch of tools and brilliant engineers that they could handle it. My guess is, that dealing with Coinbase from pretty much non-existant customer support side, they probably have/had few junior programmers putting something semi-working together, for as long as they possible could hold on to it (and saving money of course)
Thinly populated. The whole address space is the array and addresses/pointers are indices into it. This point of view might not necessarily be supported by the actual language specifications, though.
> I am attempting to orient people into the "open-contribution" community, where we share the opinion that free software is NOT free to produce.

I agree with this position. I am also working on my own open-source projects, as well as other projects that I know have conscientious maintainers and a high-quality community. Why should I contribute my time to this project?

To be a little blunt: if this project has not thought about things like ownership of pointers and concurrency safety, it is not a project I think other people should use. My time is limited, and I use it on improving projects that I think are worth improving.

> for open-source software the developers couldn't care less (except maybe superficially, but this mental reward is insignificant for the long-term motivation for a project). They want to make a library that solves their own problems and is stable.

As an open-source maintainer, this doesn't describe me at all. I care more about things that improve the world than things that amuse me. (I also work on a few things that amuse me, but they're relatively clear about that status, and f they're not, I welcome someone calling me out on it.) All the long-term projects I work on are motivated by wanting that project to be a healthy project available as a compelling option for as many people as possible.

I had the rather delightful experience of starting a new job recently and finding that the next team over had just decided to start using a project I've been maintaining for a few years. If I had not spent time writing both code and documentation that welcomed unknown future users, this would never have happened. (And I still have not written nearly enough documentation for it!)

If my motivation were just filling my own needs, I probably wouldn't publish software at all. If it were that plus bolstering my personal brand, it would go on my blog or as CC-BY-NC-ND or something. My entire motivation for releasing software under a free license is for other people to use it.
Think about the gold/white and blue/black dress. It's not as if one person thought the dress was blue and another thought it was more of a turquoise. Gold/white and blue/black are distinctly different colors and are nowhere near each other on the color spectrum. This wouldn't have gone viral if some people heard "Lauren" and others heard "Laura", what's amazing is that "Laurel" and "Yanny" are phonetically distinct but somehow different people perceive different sounds.

If you find this interesting, I recommend checking out the Radio Lab episode on "Colors". They go as far as speculating that ancient cultures perceived fewer colors than we do, because colors like "blue" aren't common in the natural world so we never learned to "tune into" the visual stimuli that tell us something is blue until we started to create more blue things.
Whilst I agree with the article being that context matters a lot. But there are a lot of great things about RCAs.

A few of the things:

1. It shows visibility about the engineer's abilities

2. It attempts to show weaknesses of technology choices that happen above the people who support it

3. It attempts to show a weakness in the process. (Similar to a retro) Yet, in practice, rarely is this addressed.

The mantra of cryptocurrency changes every few years depending on what brings in new money. Now BTC's a "store of value" that investors should have exposure to in their portfolio, and the ICOs are speculative investments. In two years they'll come up with a new narrative.
Slightly off-topic, but boy you weren't kidding. That topic is ungoogleable if you don't know the specific term for it. I spent 20 minutes or so trying various combinations of words trying to get it.

This is certainly a true statement - but there are known technologies that provide better characteristics for scale than others (looking at big scale names such as Netflix as a start). Simply writing it off as “well they scale so fast, whatever!” is completely sidestepping the issue of using knowingly error prone tech at scale, and frankly is a bit irresponsible. (Note: this isn’t a statement on what CB uses or if they’ve tuned it appropriately or not)
"Usually?" What are the unusual circumstances? Will I need to care about it at an inconvenient time two years later?

I mean, yes, I can probably guess some things and end up with something that works with the current version of the library, but why would I choose this library to build on top of if I'm just guessing?

The code cannot possibly answer the question of what changes the developers may make to the project in releases they consider backwards-compatible. My question is entirely about the API, not about the code itself.
Well with today's lidar type tech and computing power available because of smaller more efficient chips they can probably auto tune the car in real time for the surface.

The article also mentions that the double transaction issue was with Visa/MasterCard not coinbase.
> I don't trust physicians or dentists opinions on this subject, because they have a vested interest in preventing technology from disrupting their field.

You don't need to trust, but only use a little logic. Would a doctor prefer to reduce expenses and increase profits? Of course there's some interest in preserving status quo, but as that "Cult of the Root Cause" [0] article pointed out, there can be many system dynamics working simultaneously.

This bullshit is not a "hate crime law", it is a law to silence opponents of the ruling junta. Worse, it enables blocking of US citizens (like me), that don't live in Germany, through dubious, semi-private entities, based in Germany. Both things are a scandal.

And why does have Facebook problems in China? Why not grant the Chinese government the same rights as the German government?

I've only been using reddit for about a year, but in that time I have discovered an alarmingly high number of idiots, and I use that word hesitantly, but it is accurate. They are people who are woefully ignorant of the subjects they post about. You might call them trolls, but I'm not convinced that they're doing it to stir up drama (some probably are).

Before the internet, many wise men have given a name to the phenomena: "Bullshit". It sounds just good enough that an uneducated person might think they know what they're talking about, but any real expert knows they're completely clueless. It's an artform that used to lead people to success, in small isolated social environments where the fraud is difficult to expose.

This is so common on reddit that I am willing to bet it is the majority of the negativity the author is complaining about. Reddit is a very toxic place and anyone who publishes there needs to be prepared for that, for their mental health.

nuklear (https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) is also pretty cool. and it seems to have bindings for various languages (besides C) f.e. go, rust, lua etc.
...not to mention that this is obviously a work in progress. We're looking at a project's github page, not a product release page. I would think that like with a lot of coding projects, you start with an initial idea and see where it takes you, rather than with a full specification that you then follow. Given the limited resources of a single programmer, writing an extended documentation early on and then keeping it maintained with every chance to the architecture would be a huge burden, time and effort-wise. That's not to say it cannot be done, but I understand if you want to spend your time on coding first, if it's a pet project. There's nothing that prevents documentation to be added in the future.
I believe such service should be bookable, ala Uber pool.

> chiropractic cures for hiatal hernias

This is the best solution to prevent the problem. Going to the chiropractor is impractical though because of how often you need to do it. Learn to do it yourself. Learn to identify when you need to. Literally saved my life.

Although the baking soda definitely helps when you get a mouthful (or sometimes lungful) of wretched hot stomach acid.

Also not eating at night.
It's not quite the same as active learning. Experimentation and active learning are quite different in ways I didn't fully appreciate at the beginning of my career, and they come in the form of (conditional) independence relations, which you can get around with either structural assumptions or randomized intervention.

It's the entire reason why we randomize in experiments. In active learning, the machine doesn't know what happens when the rooster is in a bag, so decides to try it. In a randomized experiment, the machine knows what happens when the rooster is in a bag, but thinks there might be other factors at work, so it decides to try it in a way that it can be sure that all other factors are equal (at least on average).
if it's working well enough within the constraint, couldn't we just brute force the entirety of human language, thereby removing the constraint at some future point?
I just tried that and reddit/facebook/chrome still showed adds.
