Off topic, but while digging through the hits explorer at the end, I noticed a steep dropoff in the number of songs I knew. I expected it, of course, but it was much sooner than I expected. I could hear nearly every song in my head from my middle school years, and the first half of high school. But my junior and senior years there's a whole lot of songs that I don't immediately recognize. The fall off is fairly steep and continues to the present.

I think what happened is that midway through high school I started liking specific genres and diving deeper into those rather than just listening to the radio, because my music consumption only increased during that time.
I think what it comes down to is self compassion - you have to care about yourself, especially if you believe no one else does. This is something that doesn't just happen. You have to practice self compassion and do things for yourself. Another approach to build some self compassion is loving kindness meditation. Once you have some self compassion you can forgive yourself for some of your own faults. As you said, some of us are lucky and some of us are unlucky. Just like it's not the fault of the lucky people that they had good luck, it too is not your fault you had bad luck. Best not to dwell on what you can't have - all you do is torture yourself for no reason - and just focus on what you can have.

Edit: regarding what other people think, it is best to just focus on what you know to be true and challenge anything that could be potentially untrue. If someone ridicules you, they're a jerk. But don't engage in any sort of mind reading exercises. It is pointless torture. Focus on what you want for yourself and don't let other people's opinions distract you from your goal.
Is not about bundling, if Google would sell it's own Pixel phone is OK, but if I want to make a contract with Google to sell my xPhone with Android the illegal part is when Google is forcing my hand to put Google apps on the phone and put the Google search on the home screen on all my xPhones but also on say my cheap xCrap devices. The problem here is also the Google search part, you use your dominance in mobile OS market to force people into your search service.
I'd say that sneaking an install of your product onto people's computers when they are not expecting it is exploiting a dark pattern.

However, the point was that Chrome didn't mysteriously gain market share solely based on some sort of technical superiority.

Google paid to gain market share with the sorts of clueless users who click next during install wizards without reading anything.

In the EU, Android has about 75-80% market share if you look at the whole market, or nearly 100% if you look at the lower end of the market where iOS isn't available.
Yeah, Samsumg should have created their own OS, I'm sure that would have played really well for both companies... NOT.
I see this question a lot. I used to have an obsession with 'true color'; images felt fake otherwise. Artificial.

I'm a working scientist now, and my view has changed. I realize how limited our senses are. How much of the world--of the universe--I'd miss by restricting it to just what my eyes can see natively. Even among colors that I can see, but perhaps the signal is too faint ... I'm a lot more tolerant of color-mapped images now. I don't see them as artificial anymore, but as beautiful and transcendental. A window into a hyper-spectral world normally invisible to me. It's really something special. I wish I could share this perspective with more people.
The sound design in Elite: Dangerous is just fantastic. In my book it's among the best games ever in this category. It takes skill to take a simulation to a level where you can literally fly the ship by ear because every nuance of your ship's quite complex status is reflected in audio somehow.
Interesting, maybe there's a cultural aspect to it, here in France it's frankly not that common in my experience. Maybe it's because of the way it's taught (or not taught) at school, maybe it's because AZERTY is a garbage layout, maybe my sample is heavily biased somehow...
The test does not accept a URL with https, but instead strips https. This has a large impact on performance, since my http-based website redirects to the https-based website.
Georgia Tech’s Robotarium is “a shining beacon of robotic awesomeness”
> How can you still hold this belief after reading articles like this?

I'll push back on this. Spending time in China helped me look at myself and break down what was universally human and what was learned culture. For example, the story about the missionary giving a talk at the local English Corner about "the meaning of life"

> He said he knew what people would say having lived in China for sometime but even so was stunned at how deeply and rigidly held the belief that making money was the entire meaning of life. There was no value system. There was no exogenously held right or wrong, only whether you made money.

Yes, people espouse that. Even to themselves.

But spend some time with them and find out what makes them happy and sad, and what they want to make money for, and it's the same as a westerner (and I suspect the same as any mentally healthy human on the planet): having basic autonomy in your life, developing as a person, quality time with friends and family, helping each other, a chance to raise children peacefully and otherwise contribute to society. Those are the things people genuinely want.

I think people universally find obsession with wealth to be unsatisfying, but it's sometimes only after a learning experience. They may try it for a while, but they realize it's a socialized value, not an intrinsic one.

To overgeneralize, China as a whole is still at an earlier stage of learning about wealth than the US or Europe or Japan or Korea. But they are in the process of learning the lessons of wealth and will, I believe, get there faster than we did, simply because everything is changing faster there than it did here.

Edit: And we in the West are not done learning either!
People would rather have something new and unstable than refined but a little out of date. That's the sole reason tech is "bad". Any company that decides we're just going to focus on bug fixing is a dead company.
Dem lawmaker calls for cryptocurrency probe after Mueller indictments
I aspire to write a novel at some point despite the fact I haven't done much writing. When I did try to write prose I found it was much more different that writing emails for work. With email I obsess about being clear and concise, editing the same few lines over and over again. Everything I read about writing, like Stephen King's On Writing, suggest you need flow and to create a rough draft in order to get anything good. So, in order to get perfection you have to (temporarily) embrace imperfection.

So Google could solve this problem by raising the price of its OS, increasing profits and decreasing market share, and leaving a billion with no access to smartphones at all.
"least interacting" is the key here. Trillions are emitted by the source, and nearly zero impact anything along the way, so most of them make it through the planets, stars, etc. Occasionally one hits an atom of ice/water (depending on which detector we're talking about), allowing us to detect it. The impacts on the detector are pretty rare, relatively speaking.

This kind of tracking (and the app) sound interesting, but seem to presuppose that you're sleeping alone.

It's also kind of a shame that they don't have integration with Garmin (depending on device) and Fitbit - many of the devices from both of those companies track heartrate, movement and sleep without the need to leave your phone on the bed but there's not much integration there. It looks like Garmin has a lot of that raw data available to download, but it's per-day individual downloads of .fit files (https://forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/running/forerunn...)

One thing worth noting for people considering one of the fitness trackers: Garmin's software doesn't recognize multiple sleep periods, so if you nap then go do something it either ignores one sleep period or just treats it as one long sleep period (with a big "awake" period in the middle). The vivosmart 3 at least does also track sleep phases.
Hi Adora, I am quitting my fulltime job to found my own startup in the fall, and I am working almost a fulltime per week on my own time to prepare the product for the future startup.

1. Can I still apply if I have a fulltime job in addition to working on my startup?

2. Must the company be established before the program starts, or can it be established a few weeks later?

3. Do you expect the product to be launched during the program, or can it be launched later this year?

Thanks
Exactly, without Search pushing so hard the adoption rate would have been much slower and would have given Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft time to respond.

Firefox has rapidly improved since it's inception and was rapidly stealing IE market share prior to Chrome.

Had Chrome not been rammed down people's throats then we might have a more even landscape than we do today.
Inbox, hangouts video calls, google earth, off the top of my head, spent 6months+ being chrome-only. H/o video calls over a year (just a few months ago became firefox compatible).

Why not? It's fun to bring old languages back to life.

Also, Latin is a better 'universal language' than many alternatives, in part because it occupied exactly that role for many centuries throughout much of Europe. Something to consider in the EU if Brexit goes through. ;)

I'd argue that

- and not extorting money from other companies by keeping said customers hostage

shouldn't be considered a disadvantage?
Do you really put "i kissed a girl" in the same ball bark as gernica ?

I honestly liked the first and not the second.

However, there is nothing original about the first. The second one is a once in history landmark.
What Chrome also did far better than everyone else was a user local install, ie an install that didn’t require admin on the PC. Shadow IT installs was a huge advantage over Firefox in Chrome’s first years.
I'm both an insomniac and I have delayed sleep syndrome. When my parents brought me home from the hospital I was only sleeping 2-3 hours a day. I was a planned baby, but with two teenagers, and parents who were nearing 40 having a baby that didn't sleep, almost destroyed the family, so I'm told. When I did sleep it was usually from 7am to 9am. If you have children let that sink in for a minute.

My insomnia was awful from 14 to 19, I was operating with on average 3 or 4 days of no sleep, a couple of days of 2-3 hours of sleep a day, and back to 3 -4 days of no sleep, wash rinse repeat. I had lots of 6,7,8 days of no sleep and once went 10 days. For me, then, I was just awake, I didn't force anything, I was just not sleepy, and I couldn't force myself to sleep.

During my junior and senor year of college I started smoking pot, and I started sleeping on a regular basis, going to bed about 1-1:30 and getting 6/7 hours of sleep. I'm not really sure if I was happier, or more productive, I was definitely more relaxed, it was probably the pot not the sleep. Of course once I graduated and started getting drug tested I needed to give up smoking pot. I hope soon my state will legalize and maybe I can find a strain that helps.

I did a couple of sleep studies two which lasted 5 days and for one I went sleepless for the study, they said I never once displayed any indication that my body wanted to sleep during those 5 days. They wanted to study me but sitting in a room hooked up to machines for days on end was not my idea of fun, since I didn't sleep they wanted to know what was going on with me during my constant "up" times and they wanted to see if they could understand what triggered my sleep when it did happen.

As I got into my 30's my insomnia became less of an issue, but the delayed sleep issue went back to when I was a baby, my body wanted to sleep from 7am until 9/10am, putting a real kink in my life. While I didn't technically have insomnia, I usually wasn't getting any sleep during the work week, luckily I was wired for not sleeping much so it wasn't a career killer, it was tough on my wife and children, and still is.

As I got into my late 40's my delayed sleep time move to back to about 4am, and my sleeping needs have increased, I now usually get 3-4 hours of sleep a day. So far things have remained the same into my mid 50's.

If I want to I can still go a few day without sleep, I've worked on big projects and it can be wonderful to just knock out 72 hours of work in 3 days. When I get "sleepy" it's more like my body suggesting that it would accommodate sleeping if I so choose, if I ignore the offer the opportunity passes and I'm just awake. From talking to others the feeling of sleep comes over them and they have no choice but to succumb

As a side note I don't take drugs prescription or otherwise, nor do I drink
Google didn't write all of Android, there are GPL components. They didn't have the choice to keep it closed source, all of it anyway.

And secondly, they're not being punished for having an open source operating system. They're being punished for forcing manufacturers to install their suite of software (simplified). It's not because they open sourced Android. I repeat, it's NOT BECAUSE THEY OPEN SOURCED ANDROID.
This also probably varies greatly by language.

Someone speaking a language like Chinese, where most of the words are single syllables, could probably speak a lot faster than someone speaking, say, German, where the words are often super long.

That's just my mostly uneducated guess, though. It'd be interesting to see some real-world comparisons of this.
While we're here, I think that anyone who enjoys this article will probably like this answer to a question on math.stackexchange: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/562694/integral-int....

The asker has an integral for which Mathematica and Maple both failed to resolve a closed form solution. Then they use a symmetry to break up the integral from 0 to infinity into two parts, substitute, integrate, substitute again and finally apply the residue theorem.
Yea you can modify it locally. But in this context I meant redistributing your modified version a la free software. It's not much fun to play with something and then not show anyone.

Yes, me too! Even in a big city in the US I have a hard time not making eye contact.

Farmboy here.
The native ones don't consistently/easily support "mm/dd/yyyy" formats, and many customers want that.

One general design decision about date-pickers is if the target date range is large, such as birth-date, then one needs an easy & obvious way to select or scroll the year also, not just month-by-month.
This article needed a computer animation that fit the observed data.

>> The decision ignores the fact that Android phones compete with iOS phones,

>Except as explicitly stated in the decision.

Well the EU simply argued they don't compete because iPhones tend to cost more and it's hard to switch. I feel like your average person would admit you have a choice between the two, which is what competition is.

A Hands-On Guide to Building Web Applications Using React and Redux
Neutrinos interact extremely weakly (by the weak interaction), which means that one either needs quite a lot of neutrinos (which they do in terrestrial experiments) and/or a very large detector with a lot of mass and area.
For example the ice cube neutrino observatory has a Gigaton of ice as detector mass for neutrinos to interact with.
And still the event rate is only on the order of a couple hundred neutrinos _per day_. Most of which are from the Sun - which has a neutrino flux of more than 10^10 neutrinos per second per square centimeter (at the distance of Earth!).
Ahh... ok, thanks. That makes a lot of sense.
I'm baffled by your conclusion and that of your parent post.

> So how about we skip the billions of programmer hours and just use lots of intrinsics?

This is very nearly the equivalent of: Why don't we skip writing a compiler and just USE glibc?

My post was about the opportunity to forgo the use of an intrinsic and instead do pattern recognition as part of compilation. The point being that the "jet-like" pattern matching phase that exists in many compilers today, my example being from the hotspot JVM's JIT compiler, but GCC will match the for loop and INTRODUCE a call to memset too.
This is hard. Governments traditionally do it by having multiple agencies competing with each other to some degree. This was cultivated directly in the USSR, where GRU (military intelligence) and the KGB ("internal" / "less militarized" intelligence) competed with each other. Putin now has a full handful of competing agencies that I don't even want to get started on. Likewise, the US ABCs provide checks and balances for one another - if this wasn't the case, one agency could seize control. The funny thing is that having more of these does protect the constitution, unlike what most conspiracy theorists seem to think.

Despite these checks, in 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev, guarded by a general of the KGB (Vladimir Medvedev iirc) and his squad was forced to abdicate by threat from KGB higher ups supporting Yeltsin. Later on, the communist party wanted to take back control and ordered "original" Vympel (GRU diversionary unit) to storm the presidential palace with Yeltstin in it. I.e. it was an example of the "checks and balances" working, but Vympel stood down due to guaranteed civilian casualties. Btw, this could have single-handedly brought communism back to Russia.

Anyway, that was a really long prelude to our first point.

1. Hire multiple agencies which would require collussion to take you out discretely. Balanced against more and more people having access to you.

2. Pay them well - though you will never be able to pay them as much as it costs your competition to take you out. Balanced against unacceptable turn-over rate due to dimishing marginal returns of labor.

3. Filter out fanatics somehow. Not balanced against anything, just hard to do.

4. Increase automation. Balanced against privacy concerns and tech-savvy threats. It still comes down to contractors.

* Neither of these terms really applies, except in relation to GRU.

Absolutely on the example above too - one of the best examples of "free-minded" men being loyal...until they weren't for later emperors, but that's a story for another day.
There are so many of them, that occasionally one must interact with other matter. One in a billion billion billion, sure, but there are trillions of trillions of trillions of neutrinos flying past over a period of time.

Neutrinos are normally created by beta decay[0]. So when they are detected, are they going through "beta reabsorbtion"? Does the (anti-)neutrino hit an electron, form a W boson, then collide with a proton to form a neutron? Or is there another interaction that causes the light?

As a dev, I genuinely fear the day when Android devices ship without being approved by the CTS (compatibility test suite, devised by Google to ensure that compliant devices implement the APIs correctly).

Fragmentation is 99% FUD right now. If everybody starts shipping huge forks of Android; with silently diverging APIs, it will be a nightmare.

And that's just for devs.

I guess my point is that I see why the EU reached this conclusion but I am unsure this will be a net benefit for devs and consumers.
But he has used the service since, making more pledges to other companies. Part of continuing to use kickstarter is to to accept the new TOS when they come out.

If he made one pledge, and then never used or logged into kickstarter and agreed to a new TOS then he would have a case.
> You're missing the massive point that it was also happened to be far superior to Firefox and IE when it came out

I mean, you really could have said the same thing about IE 4 when it came out. It was actually better than Communicator at the time, which was a bloated, unfocused, mess of a browser.

It's hard to find news and reviews from 1997 to back me up, but here are a couple accounts I found recollecting their experiences with the browsers: https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Netscape-lose-ground-to-IE
Android already has a problem with fragmentation, which becomes a problem for customers when their phone becomes vulnerable due to a lack of security patches.

There are lots of cheap Chinese Android phones simply filled with malware from the factory.

If Google allowed phone makers to ship Android forks, this whole problem would become a lot worse. I think this Google policy is actually pro-consumer, and the EU is wrong on this point.

This sentence seemed to irk me; because at what point does someone have to police themselves to ensure they don't "hurt someone else's feelings"? My generalization is a bit crass, but that's how this sentence came off.
To each their own, but I put 60+ hours into the original game (I never bought into the hype and hadn't pre-ordered), and then put it away for 2 years..

I am greatly looking forward to diving back in next week, and am treating it basically as a free sequel.
IRC and mailing lists are more pro-sumer oriented than the average app. They survive despite the app market, rather than because of it. They also aren't particularly profitable, except in limited circumstances.

Apps are more clearly aimed at the consumer, ie., people who aren't going to get into the technical details of connecting to a particular service and learning the commands.

I doubt we'd have the overwhelming plethora of services if the app market hadn't been created.
