For me, it is window focus. I am readily in a terminal somewhere in my development flow so I can CRUD my task list there. Personally, I also added tb into my .zshrc so that I have an overview of tasks in-flight and in-queue when I open a new shell. I kind of need that harassment at times to keep on top of things that need to be kept on top of!

Children are quite resourceful when it comes to play.

My eldest son had no interest in toy cars when he was small. One time we went to friends who pretty much only had toy vehicles.

Our son was a bit hesitant to play at first but then became engrossed. He was particularly attached to a dumper truck.

Curious, we watched him for a short while then all became clear. He was pretending they were dinosaurs.
So, I'm happy you did read the samples :) Is the content good?

WRT the 3rd article,
- Did the conversation happen? YES
- Is it paraphrased? YES (what conversation isn't when you pen it on a piece of a paper?)
- Could we have done better at paraphrasing the conversation? YES (the fact that you found it fake)

Can we write deeply technical pieces: Some YES.

Can we discuss more on it over email. I can reach you at?

It is hard to say what the non-physical is. However, it can be detected. For example, if we could, say, solve the halting problem, then whatever part of us is doing the solving cannot be physical, since everything physical can be computed by a Turing machine.

So, in general the non-physical is defined negatively. The physical is defined by physical limitations, i.e. the laws of physics and computation, and thus anything that surpasses those limitations is non-physical.

In a natural state, there are predators, and herds stay closely packed for protection. This is great for the land; the grass is only intermittently grazed, and has time to recover and grow deep roots. Natural pasture like this sequesters vast amounts of carbon.

But mostly we kill off the predators. The livestock spreads all over and grazes continuously. The result is topsoil destruction and erosion. There are large areas where overgrazing is a serious problem.

Allan Savory has been the leading advocate for "holistic grazing" that keeps the herds packed. It's been controversial, because he advocates doing more grazing. The evidence of that helping is mixed at best. However, just leaving overgrazed land alone is another matter, and experiments have been very successful.
The "other things" are the short-termism and appealing to the lowest common denominator that go with the pursuit of profit before anything else.

Nope, they just wanted to keep the trout away from the poor people.

What people here don't understand is that the talk about censorship is of less than secondary importance there.

China's priority here is totally not to censor them, it is to conduct the "handshaking ritual" and have them becoming subject under China's "law." A "blood pack" - making them partners in crime.

The same was with Yahoo. They came to China talking only about "search," but got asked about "personal data of all China's opposition members residing in US." Not only they gave everything to China, but put extreme effort to cover their "special relationship" with China's ministry of interior.

In this light, please take a look at very, very close relationship Google tried to establish with Russian government in period of 2005-2010. We are talking about nothing less than first person accounts of people involved certifying that Google was sending all kinds of "consultants" to Russian political establishment, training them in online campaigning. Simultaneously, pages of Russian political opposition did disappear in Google's search. In light of recent events, this should be subject to much scrutiny.

P.S. : Additional comment on Google. At some moment they snapped after all. They closed their Russian development centre, and evacuated key personnel to Switzerland in unprecedented visa deal with government of Zurich.

P.P.S. : On person whom Sundar Pichay was meeting. I read name Wang Huning in the article, and instantly I felt that something "clicked." The name was familiar. Wang Huning is the man who is the real propaganda chief in the communist party. To know more of his view of USA, please read his work titled "America against America." I will not be surprised at all if he is the man entrusted with running their stratagems targeting USA.

I studied under a professor who worked with Woese. It was great- lots of emphasis on RNA, using RNA to answer basic biological questions. One of the things I've never been able to understand is, how did Woese, with just a limited number of very limited sequence data, manage to carve out the existence of an entirely new form of life? I ask, because looking at all the effort to sequential gigabases today, it doesn't seem like we're learning geometrically more knowledge. Modern gains in sequencing seem highly incremental, and generally only provide correlation data, rather than causal data, and the data they do provide is not actionable.

Was Woese's discovery just "easy"? Would any competent scientist working in the field make that? Where are the Woeses of sequencing today?

> we shouldn't have any laws and regulations and controlling bodies surrounding these topics because it's a line "a tech company shouldn't cross"?

What? No, it means that we shouldn't shrug off bad corporate behavior and say oh well, I guess tax avoidance was good for their quarterly profits.

Raising outrage is an important check on corporate behavior, even moreso in a place like HN, where employers like Google hope to recruit employees.

They use "Cherry steam" as a way to describe the stem, but only really generic, $20 amazon keyboards ever use the word Cherry unless they actually have Cherry switches. A lot of newer, more boutique boards don't use Cherry, there are a lot of new and interesting Cherry stem switches not made by them.

Almost all countries require compliance with some level of government mandated censorship. Why is China being singled out? Many western and middle eastern countries that tech companies operate in today have severe censorship and monitoring requirements. Some of these countries with have similar or worse human rights records. You hear very little if any uproar about it.
I think that point would have some merit if US, EU and China worked completely in isolation at every level. Let everybody sort their mess like they want. But clearly that's not the case, China's economy is very tightly linked to ours, as such the way we trade with them influences their internal politics. When a US or EU company moves production to China it's not politically neutral, this company implicitly endorses the Chinese political system. As such I don't see why we couldn't regulate these things to suit our principles and interests.

It's not about saying "stop censoring the internet or we'll nuke you", it's about saying "if you want to do business with us we demand that you meet these standards, otherwise no biggy, we'll just go elsewhere."

And China does attempt to do the same thing, for instance in many African countries. It's less obvious because they're still ramping up their diplomacy, US and EU have a huge headstart there.
In Europe at least, this would be regulation. There are max amounts on fees.

I was expecting quite different question based on the title and first paragraph.
This is the key comment for me. A person in China has an opinion that does not agree with the government and feels so threatened voicing an opinion that would't merit a second thought in the EU/US that they have to go anonymous.

How can we be comfortable with google or any company going to China and effectively saying yup, thats ok.
You cannot open in NK because it has a trade block imposed by the US. Something similar was happening with Cuba or Iran. Let me tell you that abiding and legitimating freedom opressing regimes is not very american, even if it is for money.
Several reasons.
1. If you live in a terminal it's easier to stay in that terminal instead of switching to a new window to deal with your task manager, then switching back to your terminal.
2. It's quicker to type one command with all it's options instead of using a GUI and selecting multiple options.
3. IN my case as a blind programmer I find it easier to use as many command-line tools as possible instead of dealing with possible accessibility issues in a GUI.

The parent post is off topic it would seem. My comment was very much with the topic of the parent.
Great read. It's always interesting to see how individuals (John Sununu, Rush Limbaugh) have the capacity to change the arc of history - against prevailing wisdom and agreed facts. Sure, they had massive support from the oil industry, but Europe also has an oil industry and it didn't change Europe's stance on climate change.

For a real-time update on climate change, just look at the canary in the cold-mine - Arctic Sea Ice. I have a look daily in summer to see if we will again break the record minimum and when the summer will be ice-free there - it will happen within a decade or two at the most. For Arctic sea ice voyeurs, check this out:

I bet with more data they would be underwhelmed. Compare the Federal Lands map[0] with a land-cover map[1].

See how much of that BLM managed property is semi-desert? And how much is actually Forest Service land? The first map also includes state lands, which is more apparent in the East, and Alaska. I for one am proud of our reserving of lands for the greater public. It's all of our lands, not just a few greedy landowners.

My point was given a specific another_program you cannot say exactly what the program will do. On the other hand, every program is some kind of Turing computation, so you could argue by knowing of a Turing machine you understand every program. However, that is not so useful.

If we knew everything that comes up in practice, translation and natural language processing would be a solved problem. Without this knowledge, then we need to look at the general picture, which is not solvable. So there is no automated way to understand all language, we have to always rely on a human in the loop to provide domain knowledge.

I've spent a lot of time trying to get a proper remote-editing/incremental sync setup working. That sounds really interesting to me.

How many files are you able to handle, remotely, with Nuclide/Watchman?

Does it work if the remote files are on an NFS share (i.e. spotty inotify/fanotify support) mounted onto the server you're SSHing into (no, the NFS share cannot be mounted directly on the workstation)?

How many file-change events (on your workstation or on the remote) can this system successfully sync/handle in a short time? If there is, say, a 250k file alteration that happens due to checking out a branch, is there an indication that it detected the changes and is making progress syncing them, or does that necessitate a manual sync?

Context: I've worked in environments where local editing and manual sync got really annoying: for compliance/regulatory reasons, certain tools, e.g. source control, were only available on the remote server, so having all code on my laptop and manually syncing to the remote got quite tedious. Even better, the significant (i.e. I might conceivably need to open them/run tests that touch them) number of source files in the remote repo was in the tens of millions. I wasn't able to get any incremental sync/change-detection systems working successfully: on my workstation (OSX), large changes would overflow the fsnotify kqueue, no matter what wrapper around it I used. On the remote, watching was either unavailable (due to the age of the Linux server) or prone to failures in the event of large changes in files (e.g. checking out a new branch).

I've spent a lot of time mucking about with lsyncd, unison, and lots of other tools, and eventually gave up with the conclusion that directory-diffing is too slow given slow remote filesystems, and change notification systems aren't up to the task of managing bulk changes across a huge repo. Watchman sounds really promising here; I'd love to hear more about your experiences with it.
We have a solution - reduce carbon/methane emissions. Why bet the bank on a technology that hasn't been invented yet? If you said to somebody with 100 billion dollars: capture as much carbon as you can. What would they do? I would just plant trees for that money. Sure, we need basic research on carbon sequestration, but we need fundamental breakthroughs to make it happen. Time, we don't have.
There is no algorithm for checking whether a system can solve the halting problem or not, the reduction to the halting problem is quite simple. But that's besides the point.

If you found something that could solve the halting problem and you're lucky enough to be able to prove it for this special case, that would just mean that the assumption that everything physical can be computed by a Turing machine is wrong. It works the same way with anything else that we think of as "impossible". If you observed an apple falling towards the sky that doesn't mean that the apple is non-physical, it just points to a serious flaw in our understanding of gravity. Experiments trump all physical theories.
I don't notice any speed differences. I'm loading stuff via 4g mostly so I think the network speed is the main bottleneck. I'm using etherVPN on a tiny arm server in the same continent as me.
Agree on the symbiotic relationship.. Beaker is a godsend to Dat. I am a big fan of the technology concepts too, promoted Dat wherever I could. But I'm still afraid that eventually they 'fall by the road-side' by lack of adoption.

Last time I checked (admittedly some time ago) all their libraries were NodeJS/NPM (some vanilla JS, but low-prio, unsupported), and the Dat protocol paper was out-of-date and incomplete.

There is good documentation if you want to build simple apps off of hypercore/hyperdrive, but it lacks depth/detail if you want to go further. Then you'll only find a rather small (though dedicated) community to help you.

Hope they succeed, and also that they start operating less under the radar, so to find more community help. Maybe via Beaker increasing traction they may get there.

That makes the term 'physical' vacuous.

Technically, we already recognize the world is non-physical. Materialists defined materialism to things bumping into each other. Now we know there are things like field effects, attraction, and action at a distance. So there is a non-bumping substrate that the bumping things exist within. Thus, strict physicalism is already known to be false.

This looks like another case of a spec/technology that is searching for a problem to solve. The first three bullet points are mere 'first world problems'.

Hate speech and harassment on social networks can be addressed by regulators placing responsibility on social networks. Most regulation (e.g. GDPR) does guide behaviour of corporates. Yes, some of them subvert it but that doesn't mean the system is critically flawed. It's then just a case of increasing independence of the regulators and stronger enforcement. The remaining issues can be addressed through various existing political levers, look at how the EU squashed ridiculous cellular roaming rates between EU countries.

Decentralisation of networks just seems like another idealistic distraction of human intellect (like cryptocurrencies) but that's just my own opinion.
Yeah, thats a great one, especially if you are in a big office and forget to plug in your headphones.

There is a simple trick though:

In Vienna, Austria there's http://www.hutundstiel.at (german only for some reason). They also grow oyster mushrooms on coffee waste and even pick up the waste by bike.

Recently there are even sausages made of oyster mushrooms (http://www.hermann-fleischlos.at also german). What's interesting about them is that they taste incredible (vegetarian soy based sausages I tried are really terrible).

Anyway, it's really good to see some innovation going on with mushrooms!
Why do the 1.4 billion people living there put up with it in the first place? Why they have just made Jinping a lifetime president? Why are they fine with their own Chinese tech companies doing this already?

It would help to understand the geopolitical causes of this environment instead of the constant faux outrage over Google doing what any business does, which is provide services in accordance to the laws where they operate.

I do not want a world where a few major US tech companies become political powers. This effort should be directed towards the government forces where it matters.
