I think I share much of your philosophy:

- started exercising regularly in 2013. The sport I choose is Boxing. I haven't done more effective exercise than interval training. And when you learn the technique(s) and get some sparring under your belt, I believe it has quite a positive impact on your confidence.

- In the last couple of years I've been a vegetarian primarily for ethical reasons.

- In that same time I had to learn to better control my weight through diet and calorie counting (sport helped with a lot of it, but vegetarianism makes it harder to get enough protein without going overboard on calories, so I needed to restrain caloric intake). Overall it was a positive change, even though the situation forced it on me, I got down to a healthier weight than before.

- About a month ago I started doing small sessions (10-20min) of transcendental meditation (I would basically calm myself down for a few minutes and then I would repeat a short motivational sentence in my mind). I am way too early into this, but I find the effects to be nothing short of fascinating.

- Few weeks ago I stopped using Facebook, I rarely use twitter anyways and I check email 3 times a day.

One downside of the last one is that I kind of started looking at HN a bit too much. :)

I definitely need to improve my social life and go out a bit more. So thanks for reminding me of that. Cheers!

> When the Industrial Revolution came around, society said 'theyre not even doing the work, machines are! The workers don't deserve more pay!' and employers were more than willing to progress to the point where entire families, children included, worked 16 hour days 6 days a week just to be able to feed themselves. Then there was the New Deal which basically forced employers to pay 600% more for their workers practically overnight (rough numbers, reducing number of workers per family from 4 to 1 and hours worked from 96 to 40).

You are missing the part of the story where that happened in europe, and people fled europe to go to the US where those things did not happen at all, and where even Marx said that the government was not oppressing its people like they did in England.

Maybe it had something to do with europe being an aristocracy back then.
Haha, and coming from a large midwestern city, I look around SF in wonderment as to how fit and in shape most people are. If you really want to see a different perspective, go to the rural Midwest, where it is downright standard to be obese.

I hope at least some of these panels are manufactured in the USA... Otherwise, it's another sector of the economy getting outsourced and impoverishing the north american economy in the long run.
I similarly didn't appreciate this approach. It pillories those who think like this, whether that's within their control or not.

In my stuff we never did a two hour reboot, but we did do a daily one. Sometimes you just run into memory leaks some of which aren't even your fault.
Some malls just make everything bigger spaces and have them accessible from the outside - basically converting to a hybrid shopping center / mall.
I had PRK almost exactly a year ago. I choose it over LASIK for less chance of dry eyes since I live in a very dry climate (Colorado). My vision is passable 20/15 and solid 20/20 which is great but my night vision is terrible. While I don't outright regret the surgery I don't know if I'd make the same choice knowing what I know now of my outcome. I just ordered some glasses with the hopes that they'll increase the sharpness at night just enough to make driving feel safe again.
No, you're not paranoid, I would think it was self indulgent if I got a letter like this from someone I hadn't seen in a long time.

It's not that easy. Having highly restrictive zoning that makes this sort of thing a big pain in the but is going to be a fairly good indicator of whether or not the government has a "we tell you what to do, you don't negotiate with us" type of attitude.
Lol, I like it! The truth is, having emails on my phone is convenient, but not much more productive than just having them on my laptop.

We'd call that a shake in the US, but not a milkshake. My gut tells me there is a distinction. You can drink a "shake" after the gym, but a milkshake with a burger and fries.

Our milkshakes will have other additives such as malt, vanilla extract, and some sweetener.

As someone reading this comment thread at work -- I agree.
Nuclear plants may be expensive, but it's still the cheapest energy out there. It's kind of misleading when you talk only about the cost of nuclear facilities and not about the efficiency in the long run.
There are lots of legit arguments against nuclear energy, yet you chose to complain about the cost of the facilities or the time it takes to build them. Your only real point was the waste storage issue (the aging reactors problem is essentially the same as the cost problem).

An airplane is also more expensive than a bike, and takes longer to assemble. This doesn't mean it has no use.
A great viewpoint, but not what I think the objective was. Code needs to inform humans first, inform computers second. Because of the human cant understand the code, they can't change it, and being able to change code is what decones maintainable and "good".

To figure out how to write code that informs humans well, you have to read code. See what works and what doesn't for someone who is not the original author.

Being usable without changes (what you describe) is nice, but not what most people mean when calling code "clean" or "maintainable", or even "good" (that might imply a good API, but not the code itself.

It's too bad that France's fast breeder reactors were shut down due to political pressure. They made Pu-238, among other isotopes.
Coffee will give you a boost for a limited amount of time, then you feel worse then before. I still drink coffee, but I don't do the morning routine anymore. I have energy in the morning, the afternoon is when I need the boost.

Working out and the resulting endorphin rush is great, but once again that's a temporary fix. You probably got a couple hours of the endorphin rush until you're more tired than you normally would be. Don't overdo the workouts, know when the best time for you to workout is, and get plenty of rest.
The people getting death threats are not necessarily every member of Trump's cabinet. Primarily they are:

- Ajit Pai

- Betsy DeVos

- Scott Pruitt

As far as the first two go, these are not simply people with whom those who make death threats disagree. These are individuals with the unchallenged power to ruin people's lives. People with student loans who have been working for years in low-paying nonprofit or government service jobs under the assumption that their loans may be forgiven are suddenly being told by Betsy DeVos that, nah, we're not going to honor our end of the deal anymore. That can be financially crippling, for life.

The internet is a way of life and a necessity for many people in the US. The thought that Pai might cripple the average American's access to it is also an assault on that way of life, if not their livelihood itself.

That's why death threats happen. I don't condone them, but you should understand what motivates them. No one likes Rick Perry either, but as far as I know he's not getting death threats or requires a 24-hour security detail, because he's not making decisions that actively threaten people's financial future or livelihoods.
For me, removing email on my phone was "hard" at first, but literally just do it.

It's been maybe a year since I've done it.

For "emergencies" I have an "icloud" email that I treat as my phone email if I need someone to send me tickets or something that NEEDS to get get to my phone, but that's it. No notifications, just let it be intentional that you check it, and use it.

I think to say this is a "liberal" problem is to miss the fact that more than a majority of independents, and nearly a majority of Republicans oppose nuclear energy http://news.gallup.com/poll/190064/first-time-majority-oppos... To put those numbers in context, it is important to contrast it with support for the competitors, solar and wind (http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/10/04/the-politics-of-climat... but it doesn't break it down by party affiliation), which have 80%+ support.

I largely agree with your perspective - with a couple of differences. Most importantly, while I see what you're getting at with #2, I don't think disproving the SPE makes it so you can't explain things like neonazis, etc.

The line that resonated with me was:

> According to Alex Haslam and Stephen Reicher, psychologists who co-directed an attempted replication of the Stanford prison experiment in Great Britain in 2001, a critical factor in making people commit atrocities is a leader assuring them that they are acting in the service of a higher moral cause with which they identify — for instance, scientific progress or prison reform. We have been taught that guards abused prisoners in the Stanford prison experiment because of the power of their roles, but Haslam and Reicher argue that their behavior arose instead from their identification with the experimenters, which Jaffe and Zimbardo encouraged at every turn.

So I don't think your second statement is disallowed by this article's findings. Most people randomly chosen off the street aren't necessarily evil - but some can be. And those who are can have a profound influence on those who aren't. Especially when there's a concept of a "greater good" on the line. (Insert Godwin's Law subject reference here).

For me, that's the big lesson - be suspicious of the "greater good."

I've heard universal basic income may be a viable approach, but I think it's unclear how it scales up as of yet.

You overstate "knowledge".

We project back currently accepted axioms, and find that Cantor's proof works. And therefore it was known, because the proof was known.

However Cantor's proof is not so cut and dry, nor was it so unarguable at the time.

It was based on set theory, and it was not clear to people at the time that set theory actually worked. Indeed, in 1901 Bertrand Russell came up with "the set of all sets that do not contain themselves" and came to a contradiction.

One of the proposed resolutions was to find a better set of axioms, which lead us to ZF and later to ZFC. This is the path that mathematics took.

Another was to question what words like "exists" and "truth" mean. In particular, does it make sense to talk about the existence of something we cannot construct? To talk about the truth of a statement that we have neither proof nor disproof of? This path leads to constructivism, and in constructivism Cantor's "proof" isn't a proof at all!

As it turns out, there are philosophical reasons to prefer constructivism, but mathematics is easier to do within formalism. After mathematicians gained enough experience with and trust for ZF, they went with convenience. But there are plenty of mathematicians historically, and even a few remaining today, who think that the entire tower of cardinalities from classical set theory is formal nonsense meaning nothing. And there is no logical flaw in their views.

Malls were always predicated on the assumption that well-to-do suburbanites, increasing in wealth and in number due to relative prosperity in the upper subdivisions of salaried workers, would spend their disposable incomes on getting boutique, brand-signalling merchandise for themselves and their children.

This was a trend that was evidently worth commercially exploiting at a time when malls were being built, but by the 1990s the demand for brand-name goods climbed upmarket enough that a new distinction had to be drawn between a mainstream mall and an upscale mall for this strategy to remain effective. New malls were built at great cost, and they took the most desirable stores, leaving the older wave of malls struggling for enough business to pay for renovations, maintenance, debt, and ROI. This cycle repeated at least one other time, when the outdoor, disassembled 'lifestyle center' became the dominant design pattern in the mid-2000s, by which point the narrative that malls are "dying" had become widespread.

Rather, the market has segmented to a degree that the concept is only profitable at the highest end, while lower offerings are proving uncompetitive with other forces in the economy, like powerful mainstream retailers with lasting appeal (e.g. Target), low-price leaders (e.g. Walmart), reliable stores with strong curation (e.g. Costco), and the convenience of ordering online (e.g. Amazon). Then, it's worth noting that the generation that's 18-35 now spends less of their income on clothes than the generation that was 18-35 when malls were big [1], and apparel stores are about half of a typical mall's occupancy.

Compare all this to Europe and UAE. Malls are doing great there. What's different? Just about everything, from the concentration of population and the particulars of siting that draws a higher proportion of people, to the value-add of having such a variety of shops under one roof, to less competition from non-mall retailers, and brand signalling still being a desirable goal.

That's what both Lyft and Uber thought, but instead the market has withstood two vigorous competitors, alongside strong regional competitors such as Ola, Careem, and Didi. Though margins are much higher with scooters.
I genuinely don't understand this. They can't realistically need the money, since they just raised. There's no fundamental change to their numbers or outlook in a month. There's been no obvious regulatory relaxation to take advantage of. Even if I buy the "Uber might buy us" thesis, surely it's better value for me as an existing investor to get a bigger portion of a slightly smaller check, than try to fix in an astronomical valuation by bailing more cash into the business? I really don't get the sense in this move at all.
The person is also despicable though, so what then? I’m not supporting death threats, but he’s still a thoroughly objectionable human. He’s a twitchy, dishonest shill for the most loathed companies in the country, and he used to work for them. As a bonus he’s unapologetically the face of a policy designed to help his previous (doubtless future) employers at the direct cost of the rest of us. Death threats are a non-starter, but I understand the frustration and rage.
The price was the selling point. By the time you get to $20-ish, there are better choices for an SBC depending on the task you need it for. (Unless you are new to the scene and need the RasPi community to get going, which admittedly is excellent)

It looks like "$10 wifi computer" was more of an add (loss-leader) than a real product. There still seems to be a gap between ESP32/8266 wifi enabled micros and $20 linux SBC's with built-in wifi that needs filling.

Yeah. But “100%”, and “all” or “every”, are considered synonyms most of the time. Not in this case though.
Non of this thinking is even futuristic. It was futuristic in 50s.

Look at France. They solved this problems in the 70/80 with technology from the 50/60.

The problem is utter stupidity of both the population and politics.

There is absolutely no problem. Nuclear energy is utterly inexhaustible for the next 1000 years, it uses almost no resources (in terms of land, steel, water) it causes absolutely no pollution at all.

I've found that's the best for any sort of physical task - for running it was "ok, I'll run to that light post" - a run could be an hour and a half of light posts.

Dell XPS 13 (9360) Review from a lifelong Mac user
They withdrew sales of the original C.H.I.P. months and months ago, without really explaining why. It's quite puzzling, because I ordered four in November 2015 and got them as promised about six months later. I guess maybe they made an initial batch, fulfilled that, then just ran out of steam and haven't made any more? It's disappointing to hear other people haven't received theirs.
Uh, I find unrelated software messing with my shell potentially catastrophic.

We absolutely blacklist software pulling crap like this - it is a loud, blinking demonstration that the packager is incompetent and will do other, potentially less obvious dangerous things out of ignorance or impatience. Or is there a darker explanation? Untrustworthy, in either case.
I give the same advice to anyone in a fitness funk.

After a month of pain and progress, 20-30 min workouts become the norm. After 3 months, you're a new person.
Put two things away for every one thing you bring out, basically. Prioritize moving the disorganization out of sight, then organize your shelves/closet later.
> What were they supposed to do, research shells for 2 weeks? Become expert Linux packagers in two sprints? Just to make an R installer?

Yes? Or don't ship an R installer if you don't know what you're doing.

I don't understand why they're given a pass for shipping a broken installer just because they might be amateurs who don't know what they're doing.

At the end of the day this is a giant well known software corporation that is shipping laughably broken software. If you don't know what you're doing, then you shouldn't be shipping it. I don't care if its an application, an operating system, or an installer.
