You have to understand and emphasize with someone's goals for starting and running a business. It's not always money and notoriety. Sometimes it's just that someone wants to do a certain thing with their waking hours.

I don't understand their methodology at all. Considering that the frequency of awarding nobel prizes remains the same , there is nothing that can be infered from their survey.

That said i agree with the premise of their article that science is not living up to expectations, and i believe this started somewhere in the 90s. For example consider the recent "Burden of disease" survey which was linked here a few days ago:

> GBD 2017 is disturbing. Not only do the amalgamated global figures show a worrying slowdown in progress but the more granular data unearths exactly how patchy progress has been. GBD 2017 is a reminder that, without vigilance and constant effort, progress can easily be reversed.

This effect was probably many years in the making , and is only now becoming apparent. One possible explanation for the "sluggishness" in scientific output is that nowadays it is lacking new grand ambitious projects, in other words centralization and Big Science. The proliferation of PhDs has changed the way funding is allocated in recent decades for purely political reasons. It favors thousands of small grants that go to individual independent researchers who are all studying minute effects, are looking for results that barely pass the significance threshold and are publishing in order to build publication records to advance their career. The total number of researchers has doubled since the 80s , therefore this model may be actually detrimental to the process of scientific knowledge discovery at this time. For example, in my field of computational neuroscience, there is currently no equivalent of the "large hadron collider" project for the brain. Some years ago one such project, the 'Human brain project' was proposed and funded, which had a specific and ambitious goal: to simulate the entire brain. Academic politics however fundamentally altered the project and it is now a funding source for various kinds of ordinary research. To be clear, the project was probably ill-conceived from the start (imho), given that we don't have enough info to simulate the brain correctly, but regardless it was one of the few such efforts towards a singular ambitious goal. Subsequent funding schemes such as the US Brain initiative do not have such a focus. The ones who do undertake big science are private institutes like the Allen institute in their attempt to accurately map the entire brain. In any case i think public policy has to focus less on academia and more on science, in order to make progress otherwise we are bound to see detrimental effects a few years down the road.

What a joke. There are hundreds of thousands of papers published each year, and some very small faction of those (but certainly hundreds to thousands) make a bit impact on their field. But we summarize science based on three yearly prizes? Clearly science is not having enough impact on science policy writers.
I've been to Sukiyabashi Jiro, in Tokyo, four times. The Ginza location twice and the Roppongi Hills location twice. Lunch and dinner service at both locations. These are Michelin 3 and 2 star restaurants, respectively, and it is actually quite challenging to get in to the Ginza location as a foreigner, especially the dinner service. I don't mean to say anything to discredit Jiro or his sons or their apprentices. They are absolutely amazing chefs of the highest quality and they are serving some of the highest quality sushi you can get. It is the best sushi that most people could ever hope to have and the food service itself is worth the experience. But... This place was made famous by Anthony Bourdain and then a documentary.

All of that said, I've personally had sushi that is comparable in quality out in the Japanese coastal countryside at an essentially random michi-no-eki. It's also significantly cheaper and they have pieces of sushi that you won't find in the larger cities that are unique to the region or town.

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate your input.

What makes Factorio an old-school game? Is it purely the graphics? Because almost non of its actual gameplay would have been possible in the 90’s or earlier due to the hardware of the time not being up to the task of a deep simulation and the old-school sim games didn’t have the same kind of depth that Factorio does, in my opinion.

As for breadth vs depth, I agree overall, but in my opinion Tetris had neither (doesn’t stop it from being fun though!) and Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 have, in my opinion, both breadth and depth. Maybe not to the same degree as Factorio’s open ended factory building has depth, but still they have, in my opinion, a lot of depth. It goes beyond individual mechanics though and to the game as a whole, including how fun it is to simply explore and how intriguing the story is (especially when much of the story is optional and you have to find it for yourself, as in the Dark Souls games).

I’m not sure I understand what the point you’re trying to make re: “indies don’t usually have huge hopes to hit it big”. Can you explain a little more?

Regarding your “don’t get me wrong” comment, I personally don’t include those things as depth. They’re cool effects, sure, but they don’t really impact how deep the gameplay loop is. I do, however, include the overall world building if it makes me want to explore and the story (both of which Rockstar do well, certainly in Red Dead Redemption).

But I guess overall, we are in agreement — we want deep games with interesting/innovative/unconventional gameplay loops that are fun for a long time, over games that have a lot of stuff that ultimately gets boring quickly. In my opinion, some AAA games and many indie games have this. Some are retro in style, others aren’t.
Probably so. Gone are the good ol' days of Bushido and Seppuku.

Seems like an easy fix is to only sell prepaid burger cards. Set some number - 10x, 20x, etc. the cost of a burger.

Keeps the locals able to frequent regularly and highly discourages anyone coming just to cross it off a list.
>>Then this prices out the neighborhood locals who made the place successful in the first place.

Did they really make the place successful though? I don't see what exactly they contributed to the business. Had the locals not liked the food they probably would never have returned and would have also told all their friends never to go there.

Totally agree. More just meant at this point he doesn't have that option as easily, so maybe he sells out and then starts something small again.

when you get frustrated, it means you need to slow it down, simplify the immediate task needed to build up the muscle memory to be able to sync each note on the sheet.

In the beginning, especially when starting a very difficult piece, practice only one bar at a time with the right hand and then the left hand separately.

Once you got the bar down perfectly, move on to the next until you got the whole line. Finally practice both hands to sync it up.

As you do this repeatedly, you will discover it gets easier. Because your brain is like a muscle. When you exercise it, it just gets better at the task.

Once you've digested something difficult and challenging, guess what, you've made leaps and bounds vs practicing simple pieces that won't lead to new breakthroughs.

I find this principle to apply to a lot of things, like working out. It's easy to jog, but jogging uphill is what builds those fast twitch muscles. On that note, please don't try to speed through the practice sessions. Once bad habits are formed, your brain literally is hard wired to make those mistakes.

Hell, even pianists will struggle with a new challenging piece and will not be able to rip through it on the first try unless they are like autistic savants.

If you really get to a point where you can't continue, then allow yourself to listen to someone else playing it. In fact this is the best way to keep dangling that carrot in front of you while you try to master a piece.

Easier said than done tho.

Go was originally intended as a systems level language, suitable for writing extremely efficient servers, dealing directly with raw bytes where needed, therefore enabling writing code at both high and low levels. VMs typically take advantage of the lowest level of code that their language supports to be as efficient as possible. There's no reason Go code can't be as fast as C++ code with enough time for optimizations, and there's no reason a VM written in Go has to be slower than any other low-level program written in Go.
At one point in college I stayed awake consistently for 4-4.5 days without any caffeine or other stimulants. By the second/third day the feeling of being "tired" was entirely gone, and I felt energetic and almost intoxicated. There was definitely euphoria, as well as some auditory/visual hallucinations. Afterwards I slept for about 20 hours straight. It was an odd experience

...but it would invite a secondary market for these cards. The logistics of fabricating them would suck, and you have to look at an ID to judge if a card should offered anyway.

Plus having special cards feels corporate, not homey. Looking at an ID for locals discount is pretty well trodden ground.

Ask HN: Is this result validation of my product?
Hello,

In the past three weeks I have launched three landing pages. Two based around watches, which didn't really get anywhere.

The third was www.oysteralerts.com which I built and launched on Tuesday. After posting to HN, IndieHacker, Product Hunt and a WhatsApp group I am in, I have 11 pre-registrations along with a handful of those people commenting about how useful this is! A PH employee has even reached out and wants to feature this on the front page.

What has excited me most is the PH feedback and random people from the internet signing up.

Is this enough to show validation of my product? Right now I am thinking to ditch the other two ideas and roll with this for the moment.

Thanks

From my perspective on interviewing and talking to lots of dev's, I take at least some of the horror stories with a grain of salt. I've seen some "pressure cooker" scenarios really just be interviewers who were not very good at interviewing. Conversely, I've gone deep in conversations with a developer on how BS interview questions are, and while imaging some crazy graph algorithm or something they come out with "Yeah they tried to get me to implement a Set" (at a high level, in Javascript). That's not a challenging or obscure problem, this person simply lacked technical depth and was jumping on the bandwagon.

Which is all to say, I can agree in general with obtuse CS problems being a bad proxy. But I think asking someone you are hiring to write code all day to write code as part of the interview is reasonable, and at this point I'd be suspect if I were interviewing somewhere and they _didn't_ ask me to write at least _something_.

> but does it say that the Kilogram will be equal to the Planck constant?

No, this statement means that Kilogram will give up its place as a fundamental unit to Planck constant. Earlier, Kilogram was used as a fundamental unit, defined by a physical object. Not anymore.

The kilogram will be defined by Planck constant. Namely, m = E/c^2 = hf/c^2.

> How can they measeure it with 0 error?

We can't, all measurements have errors. But we can measure things better than a physical object, which has changed with time. So we only have to measure Plank constant with precision higher than variation of physical object's mass for the purpose of replacing the definition of mass.
it's huge. Similar in an european ERC-funded lab: the PI is constantly traveling, there is little oversight of the work let alone actual scientific output. It feels like a large portion of the funding is designed to keep a lot of people people busy doing nothing.
What is there to learn on a Gnome/Ubuntu distro? There's a button you click to open firefox/writer/calc and a button you click to open the (arguably inferior to wpa_gui) wifi network GUI. There is a finder/explorer like shell on pretty much any "popular" DE. External drives are auto mounted and there's better point and click support for pretty much any way to move files over the network.

There really isn't any learning unless you're a power user, and those are the people that can handle learning.

And even if there was, Microsoft moves their UI around often enough that people have had to "learn a new OS" at least three times by now.

I am extremely disappointed in the FDA’s milqutoast response. Teenage vaping is an epidemic. It’s an incredible problem at the school where I teach. The USB-A sized vape units just litter the bathrooms and parking lots.

The media has also failed it’s obligations. Most news articles are practically advertisements for e-cigarettes, promoting them as smoking cessation tools and practically harmless compared to other tobacco products. They are not FDA approved and the evidence for their efficacy and safety is sketchy at best.

My own opinion on this is going to vary a lot depending on what the papers say when unsealed.

If the US is explicitly going after him for his role in disseminating classified information provided to him by whistle-blowers, I'll be disappointed, a little outraged, and unfortunately not completely surprised, since the US has jailed journalists before.

If the US is claiming he is a foreign agent acting against the US, and is willing and able to prove that in a court of law, without any reference to his role as a journalist accepting information from US whistle-blowers, I'll be pleased, a little surprised, and a bit suspicious that it's really about the whistle-blowing.

On the Btrfs status page https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status you can see that the developers themselves consider several features "mostly ok", which is probably not an assessment most filesystem users will find reassuring.
