I rarely think about these things from neuroscience perspectives anymore, but I'd imagine simply tuning into one's environment using conceptual representations like words and data can remove oneself from a state of flow, when what matters most is muscle memory, reflexes, strength - all physical stuff. Overloading the mind with information the body must calculate through the mind, that sounds to me like it would be sending an interrupt signal to a system that's already functioning correctly (or at peak performance, what have you)

The visual field is the most simplified representation of data one needs when the body is doing the rest of the work. You can't think your way into running faster, you can convince yourself that's what the mind is doing for something like, extreme distances, training (maintaining motivation to improve performance), but the goal at the end is training the literal muscle to respond efficiently, and training the mind to react to the environment precisely according to the set of rules laid out by the game.

Reasoning about it beyond the literal reality of the game, and the literal ability of the body, once both of those spaces have been trained to peak performance is inefficient, so I would imagine it would be easy to discard all of the thinking that got you to that point. It's like it transforms into a feeling of comfort and confidence instead, because I would assume you would become accustomed to all of that stuff working as expected, your own performance would become predictable and unwavering.

Being a relative of a cop in the jurisdiction in which you ran someone over will prevent you from ever being charged with it the US (they'll probably give you some slap on the wrist charge though).

Being good friends with the right folks at city hall will make sure your company wins the contract to do the landscaping at the city park.

Knowing the right people will generally get any permit you need expedited or at the very least it won't be delayed.

If special treatment is corruption then corruption is very much alive and well in the US. The difference is that the image of corruption is corruption is much less tolerable. If the details of the story of you running over someone makes the news or someone points out the conflict of interest of the person awarding the contract the corruption won't happen in that case. "I'm sorry I can't do that" is a much less common phrase than "I'll put in a good word for you".

Corruption in US (federal, state and local) is a lot like the restaurant that only cleans up its act for the health inspector. Government is the restaurant and publicity is the inspector. When there's a spotlight on the problem everyone plays by the rules. When nobody's looking it's business as usual.

Acts of obvious corruption (trading favors, bribes, etc) is rarer in the US than some other countries but leveraging relationships for special treatment is just as common as anywhere else, we just keep it under the table.

This isn't an attack on government but government is certainly not the consistent and impartial organization that some people seem to think it is (though I think that's a good goal to have).

Edit: I find it odd/interesting that whenever I say something that isn't positive about government it gets up-voted a couple times then down-voted a couple times. I really should write a script to track it because I have a hunch that the timing follows a particular pattern.
Yup, coming from the ad industry, that's exactly what most of the ISP's are trying to do. They're trying to vertically integrate the middle man into themselves and sell to the advertisers directly. They're competing with the middle men.
Post an article in r/politics about anything positive Trump has done and you'll get a ban. On Facebook, a similar phenomenon might occur due to liberal users reporting conservative ideas they don't agree with as hate speech.

I'm in the bay area, and the main thing that is expensive is housing. Groceries are cheap. Eating and drinking out are the same as other cities. To help the middle class, remove restrictive zoning policies. It's a uniquely American problem because these policies were the product of racism. Requiring single family homes kept out poorer, usually black, renters.
I mean, what's stopping Facebook from introducing FaceCoin tommorrow as a virtual currency like any of the other in-game currencies only offer to buy real things with it. None of the market-dominating things need Coinbase or anything crypto related. If they buy, it's purely tapping a hot market.

Keep in mind, once the dust settles, cryptocurrency is probably going to settle into two buckets: utility and security. Facebook definitively does not want to be involved in the latter.
Why else would they acquire them?
The LG prada phone was 6 months earlier than the iphone demo and was all-touch with a capacitive screen. LG claimed apple ripped off their design, but I think it’s more a case of hardware evolving to the point this became possible and both companies implementing, but LG releasing a less ambitious product sooner.

I'm going to have to take this riddle bait. My solution:

Move 1: weigh 6 coins vs 6 coins. Isolate the heavier set for the next move.
Move 2: weigh 3 coins vs 3 coins. Isolate the heavier set for the next move.
Move 3: weigh any two of the 3 remaining coins. If one is heavier, that is the counterfeit. Otherwise (if coins are equal in weight) the remaining coin is counterfeit.
My problem with USB-C on MBP is that, at least 6 months ago, I couldn't find a good, fully compatible port expander.

In particular, my 2017 13" MBP gets pretty confused sometimes when talking to two external monitors connected via my Elegato expander. Even just one monitor sometimes gets confused after sleeping.

It was annoying enough that now I typically use just one external monitor. And when I need two, I conmect the second directly to my MBP's 2nd USB-C port, not to my expander.
Exactly so. I'm involved in a DevOps transformation at my company, and have been exposed to the topic over the last few years, including attending the Delivery of Things conference in 2016.

What I've learned is that:

1. DevOps is simple to explain

2. For some reason, everyone has their own idea on what it means, and most of them are wrong

Key points from my perspective:

1. DevOps is an evolution of Agile and so all agile practices are a subset of DevOps. This point obviates the need for any points past number 2 below.

2. It's a process which is supposed to get operational knowledge involved in the development process much earlier to build it right the first time

Its over aim is to combat the fact that you can be proficient in only so many things. As you become more specialized in one area, your time becoming proficient in other areas suffers. So a pure dev is unlikely to know much about QA or Hosting, but that domain knowledge would be valuable for them to have in their daily duties. So you try and implement a process by which they have regular access to where that domain knowledge lives, and can make use of it.

It's really just a way of trying to solve the "Jack of all trades, master of none" problem. Put another way, it shouldn't be shuffling more duties onto the dev to save money on headcounts, but a way of increasing the value (not volume) of a Dev's already high-value work.
Realistically, CVS/Walgreens will hire lobbyists or member of the Trump circle and the president will tweet some bellicose messages about WaPo and Bezos that will result in antitrust action. This isn't the same country as it was 3 years ago.

Amazon is playing with fire a bit here. This my last edit, but I'm definitely leaving this up so people can link back to it in 18-24 months.

Countries and companies that have made policy decisions favorable to his family have gotten favorable treatment (KSA, China, Russia, DPRK), and those that have done otherwise (Qatar, AT&T/Time Warner, NFL) have suffered tangible repercussions.
It may well be the case that one of the biggest practical problems with US politics is that large numbers of conservatives simply do not understand what censorship and robust debate look like, and think that deep disagreement from other people like themselves means their rights are being violated.
"Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively."

Only you know if you are in observance or transgression. Obviously, anyone who is not you (e.g. VCs) will justifiably assume you are in transgression.

Surely you have that one crazy person pm your facebook spouting crap about autism and the MRR and everyone flipping out at them.

That person is feeling 'censored'.

> The poll shows that Republicans almost universally believe that these companies censor their viewpoint, despite the fact that these companies have bent over backwards to accommodate those views and to give them platforms.

However, that belief isn't totally without basis. Facebook fired its entire trending topics curation team [1], after allegations that its members suppressed conservative stories [2]. Even though Facebook denied that any ideological suppression took place, their actions in firing the team could be interpreted as confirming them, especially considering how badly their algorithm performed without human oversight afterwards.

It might be a sensitive topic, but apart from small things like knowledge of medicinal plants, there is little to be learned from niche cultures in terms of technology or even the advancements in art. Most of the progress has been made by tinkerers in populous areas and spreaded fast thanks to the shared languages.

Maybe a brash conclusion would be to think that small cultures hamper progress by elevating the barriers to communication and spending energy pointlessly (from an utilitarian point of view) on little artisanal trinkets that are vastly more inefficient compared to, albeit somewhat dystopic, modern manufacturing and unified cultural anglosaxon mish mash.
They have BTC, this would increase the value of BTC dramatically.
If you read the comment you replied to, he states they are vulnerable to one of the big 5 competing against them and wiping out their business model. This isn't hard to classify at all, it's a matter of fact.
There are five different files in this wonderful polyglot PDF. Spoilers ahead:

- The PDF you see when you open the file normally, with a big REJECTED stamp on the front page.
- An HTML file, which is what you get if you open the file with extension .html or MIME-type text/html. This contains an SVG representation of the first page.
- A ZIP file, which you can unpack by just running `unzip` over the file. This contains the various PoC code and other materials.

And, two more extra-special files which you can get by swapping the first 320 bytes with the other prefix of the SHAttered collision pair (this changes the file contents but not the SHA-1 hash!):

- A PDF which shows ACCEPTED and a coffee stain on the first page instead of REJECTED
- An HTML file which contains a nice CHIP8 emulator.

> The shortage of resource because of over-population is an old theory, but we've seen no evidence to it yet.

That doesn't deny that it's still happening though. This sounds like the kind of argument Exxon, Nestle, or a logging company would use to continue siphoning up resources while saying "Well, we're all still alive, so no harm done." That's very short-sighted and limited thinking. There are many other consequences of an increasing population that by proxy contribute to resource depletion, such as pollution and over-development for example.

In a non-human comparison, look at the damage that happens when an invasive species enters a new environment and over-populates. The native flora and fauna suffer and the resources they rely on begin to disappear. Then we end up with a Lorax-like scenario.
Sure, that’s reasonable. I just see people who order a round of 6 drinks and then throw a single dollar in, at some places.
Don't eat while using your laptop and you will keep it clean with a dust cloth and a mist of water. Eat while using your laptop and no vacuum in the world will be able to suck that disgusting filth from it.
The best teams are T-Shaped (specialists who also generalize) that doesn't mean they are specialists in everything, but as a team they have the expertise they need collectively. Those teams work well because when someone is on vacation you can still execute as a team because you cross train. It's not rocket science here people
The problem with DevOps and other vaguely defined concepts is that the interpretation is entirely up to your management. On one hand, heavy investment into automation and having devs involved in production ops is a good thing. It makes things go faster and puts devs skin in the game. On the other hand, when your manager thinks that DevOps is about having senior scala devs fix printers, you might be in trouble
When I was a complete beginner, in childhood, I didn't understand why the code I copied from a random library book into WordPerfect was not 'running'.

That's what I think of when I read 'complete beginner' - and people seem to shy away from those very important tooling concepts.
Everything is for sale as long as the offer is good enough.
If nothing else, I think 2017 has clearly delineated how a company looking to offer crypto can ensure that they are in the utility bucket. Because let's be real, very few players want to be in the security bucket.

As a dual native speaker I can tell you: language is not as transactional as you think. There are things that can’t be expressed in another language. Many words have slightly different meanings than their literal counterparts. And most importantly, language constructs a way of thinking, which can’t be transferred by a literal translation. So, language is culture. That means every time a language is lost a part of the world’s culture is lost.
Who’s an example?
I find a lot of art in it.

One reason I really haven’t attempted to keep up with front end development outside of JavaScript/CSS/HTML is because things change so much. On the backend, things don’t change nearly as often, but you get additional features. Your previous knowledge is not made obsolete.
Seems like in any market where Amazon can reasonably compete with a brick & mortar, Amazon will win... Consider how expensive real estate is these days, especially in urban areas (and how much "millennials" like delivery). It's a solid formula.
Do you have any specific examples? I'm sure the Django Project would be keen on improving the docs if they know why they're bad

According to a KUL researcher, between 20 to 100 species of bacteria are living on any smartphone (she analysed 5 phones).
Almost all species are skin bacteria, but a strand of stafylococcus aureus could cause problems such as sepsis, and wound infections.

Undoutedly, you have read ample smartphone reviews with complaints of smears being too visible on the casings or screens.
> The shortage of resource because of over-population is an old theory, but we've seen no evidence to it yet.

Malthus only has to be right once for you to see the shortage. E.g. you can always pull water out of the well, until you can't. If you can say that with a straight face and pretend it's an argument, then I can say "you can't predict that it will never be a problem as long as humanity exists" and be just as right.

The only argument here is for how we will deal with the shortage - violently or by gradually reducing the birth rates.

> Population growth eventually slows down when the mortality rate decreases.

Population numbers themselves are meaningless without estimates of resource consumption. Nor is necessarily having a high population at the level of "not starving" level of prosperity something that we should be striving towards.

> The population growth rate is expected to begin slowing

Yes, it's already slowing, but see above for why it's meaningless that it is.

> Colorful animations help people understand a point, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong.

It also doesn't necessarily mean they tell the whole picture, the correct picture or contain any relevant information whatsoever.

I have two neighbors, one from Germany and one from Austria. Both have extended their work contracts here in the US. They both told me they are staying for higher pay and lower taxes.

The German family gets a good amount of subsidies from the company to stay here in the US, so I think that has to be one of the primary factors in them deciding to stay.
I would argue that it's simplicity. I believe I've read somewhere that Golang was designed with junior engineers in mind. They wanted to create a language that young engineers could learn easily yet cannot make a lot of mess due to its simplicity.

They baked all features necessary right into the language. You get a http server, ssl support, templating engine etc. right in the language. You also have a database agnostic database driver right in the language. Python is also similar in many ways, it comes with "batteries included". But in my experience go standard library is written in a crystal clear straight-forward way. My workflow (and I believe the workflows of many programs) always involves jumping to the source of go standard library and just reading the code.

Django on the other hand has layers and layers of magic, you've got an ORM, modules etc. etc. Some people might like to let a framework handle everything, learn it inside and out and use it. But for other people like me, with a short attention span, django seems subjectively boring. Maybe if I didn't program as a hobby and it was my job to learn django I might have taken the time and learn it.

I started the django tutorial twice in the last 2-3 years. Both the times, I got bored and left. My subjective opinion was that it didn't teach me anything besides how to "generate" a site with Django. OTOH I had much more luck with Flask. Immediately after following the tutorial I was able to write websites and deploy them.

I think it's a matter of taste. I don't like big frameworks, I like to keep things very simple and minimal. My favorite OS of choice is OpenBSD, my favorite languages are C, Golang and Python. I don't like to use IDEs, I use Emacs, even Emacs feels a bit bloated sometimes.

From time to time I get the urge to try one of the big frameworks like Rails and Django, but I never quite got them.

I've seen ads for GoogleTrader (not the defunct Google Trader) on Facebook less than a year ago, which is an obvious scam operation if you spend some time to Google it - heh.

So yeah, they're terrible at that too - or they don't care, your choice.
Advertising is a form of speech.

Restricting the platform is their right. But the issue is people believing they are being censored and by banning certain ads they reenforce that viewpoint.
This is huge. If I were into pharma business I would be very worried for my business.
Django in 2018 is still a very vibrant and active community. The project is actively developed, there is a lot of sponsorship from big companies (instagram etc) funding a dedicated fellow who's job is to work on Django full-time.

The plugin ecosystem is very rich and active too - almost always a pre-made package for some feature or implementation you want to add to Django.
Yes, we are rare indeed. There's not much of a market for writing tools that
work with the OS, developers usually want to stay away from the OS-provided
mechanisms, like build and packaging systems, network configuration, event
logging, HA tools, configuration management, and others.

In my career I've seen maybe four people who can be called system programmers.
It's a pity, because there's still so much to build, and it takes a system
programmer to spot what ops tools to build, why, and to actually build them.
Looking at the sequence of negabinary representations, I could imagine (with the benefit of hindsight) that it wouldn't be too hard to guess the next numbers in the sequence. You'd just need to make a few observations: the rightmost digit always flips from 1 to 0. The second digit from the right reads one twice, then zero twice, etc. When you increase the length of the sequence, add two leading ones.

I'm not sure those would be enough, but just inspecting the digit-wise patterns would get you pretty far. Correctly interpreting the sequence is far harder!
