One thing that's becoming near-impossible is finding places to drink (as in pubs or bars) without piped music. This contributes significantly to noise. It's done of course so that we shout ourselves hoarse trying to have a conversation, so we buy more drinks to lubricate our throat, but even formerly quiet pubs near me have started doing it.

hmm, I went abroad for three months once and after two months my inner monologue and dreams were mostly english - even half a year after when I came back my girlfriend told me that I would sometimes be speaking in english during the night.

Absolutely. There is always money to be made selling picks and shovels. IBM, ConsenSys, and others selling blockchain "solutions" to large customers has made a great deal of money over the past two years.
Well my point was that maybe U.S. shouldn't be thought of as aligned to those countries. I'm not saying it's the polar opposite or that it should be aligned to North Korea or Belarus, but that maybe some of our ingrained presumptions are wrong.

This comes off like saying that a country is a one-dimensional object, and all countries can be adequately compared on a straight line spectrum. Just to be clear, I think it's much more complicated than that.

No it didn't, psytrance came from goa trance for which the foundations were laid in the 80's before trance popper was a thing. And what is liquid trance? Never heard of it.

>Christianity allocates some souls to hell and others to heaven. Isn't that an expression of differential utility to God's purpose?

That's not all of Christianity. In the orthodox church for example, there's no hell even -- it's how a person perceives eternity without God, said distance from God based on their own predisposition (or tendency), out of their own free will. "Hell" in that sense is not some place, nor does it have actual fires and other BS folk iconography, it's a kind of regret:

> . . . those who find themselves in hell will be chastised by the scourge of love. How cruel and bitter this torment of love will be! For those who understand that they have sinned against love, undergo no greater suffering than those produced by the most fearful tortures. The sorrow which takes hold of the heart, which has sinned against love, is more piercing than any other pain. It is not right to say that the sinners in hell are deprived of the love of God . . . But love acts in two ways, as suffering of the reproved, and as joy in the blessed! (Saint Isaac of Syria, Mystic Treatises).

> According to the saints, the “fire” that will consume sinners at the coming of the Kingdom of God is the same “fire” that will shine with splendor in the saints. It is the “fire” of God’s love; the “fire” of God Himself who is Love. “For our God is a consuming fire” (Heb 12.29) who “dwells in unapproachable light” (1 Tim 6.16). For those who love God and who love all creation in Him, the “consuming fire” of God will be radiant bliss and unspeakable delight. For those who do not love God, and who do not love at all, this same “consuming fire” will be the cause of their “weeping” and their “gnashing of teeth.”

> Thus it is the Church’s spiritual teaching that God does not punish man by some material fire or physical torment. God simply reveals Himself in the risen Lord Jesus in such a glorious way that no man can fail to behold His glory. It is the presence of God’s splendid glory and love that is the scourge of those who reject its radiant power and light.

There was a very good rule change recently: if a game goes to overtime, all teams can do one more exchange. This allows teams to safely use up their regular 3 changes without having pressure to save one change for a possible overtime.

But watching "friendship" games between national teams where often there are much relaxed change numbers (these games are the one opportunity for the national trainers to experiment widely with the team setup), they tend to be pretty bad. Changing the compositon of a team strongly has a huge potential to be very disruptive. This shows how much football is actually a team play.
It's easy to get into that trap.

We love to code and the projects you work on become like your babies. Have you ever heard of this expression from people doing what they love, or from people starting their own companies? "Like your baby"?

Well the trap is that you end up putting a lot of work in it, at first it's for fun, but then it's because what you're doing is popular and you hope of leaving something valuable behind.
And unfortunately these things happen:

1. the project is never done, there's always some feature that people want or some bug waiting to be fixed, or some dependency waiting to be upgraded (these are the worst) and if nobody does it, then users will end up abandoning the project

2. people willing to contribute are very rare and people capable of great contributions and of sharing the maintenance burden are like unicorns

So the answer is: if you don't keep doing it, the project dies. In which case all of your effort was for nothing.
> You say that as if the projects are all run by greedy grubby fraudsters

I think you are reading in something that is not there. I have several friends who have run successful ICOs and they all sincerely believe in their vision and all are working very hard.

However, the fact that yet another an ICO-backed token economy has not developed as pitched is not really news. My point was that it would be news if a token economy actually did develop as pitched.

It's an observation. It's not a judgment about the people working on the projects.
KiTTY is useful for Windows users but are any significant amount of people using it on Linux?

Omise hasn't launched it's blockchain platform yet (see Plasma) so their volumes are in local currencies. I understand it's in the MM USD but have no data on them atm.

Mind you that the valuations are often the sales price of the token times the total supply (market cap). This is not a realistic metric imho.

The issue of price discovery is / was addressed in many ICOs using auction theory (English, Dutch, Vicory, etc) but after the sale is completed the market sets the prices. Personally I'm more interested in Token Bonding Curves that guarantee a fixed price along a supply curve.

You're making the (very common) mistake of taking a poetic English-language interpretation of a physical law -- which is necessarily lossy/imprecise, since the actual law is mathematical -- and over-interpreting the words without referring back to the actual law.

You can see the law (in the context of thermal & statistical physics) at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(statistical_thermodyn.... You can of course argue that 'disorder' isn't a good way of translating the maths into English, but shrug, it's the one people seem to have settled on. And of course, that's orthogonal to whether the actual law is true or not.
Well, it's wrong insofar that the federal government wasn't actively looking for projects to fund and then miraculously discovered W7-X in a drawer. Rather, W7-X people were looking for funding and shopping for locations, but failed to secure it until they stumbled onto this particular angle to push. It's no coincidence that a new branch of the Max Planck Institute was established in Greifswald, whereas all previous work was done in Garchingen.

At least, that's the story I've been told by one of the current top W7-X people over a glass of beer, though the main topic at the time was that the movers and shakers behind such big projects might not see them to completion due to retirement or even death.
Of course it's quality over quantity. 20 lines is not a lot and I think that's the point; whether you're measuring LOC -- which is a well-established bad metric -- or something equally spurious (e.g., semicolons per kilobyte hour) the fact that a very low number was chosen is telling. LOC is just used as a proxy here for something quantifiable; accuracy is somewhat irrelevant.

Writing is not the best analogy -- because of the typical churn-edit cycle -- but to use your example, of course reaming out pages of text in one day will, on average, be of a lower quality than a virtuoso author who carefully chooses his/her words and maybe produces, on average, a paragraph a day. If you were to tell a layperson that a good writer can output a paragraph a day, they'd probably find that counter-intuitive because it's such a minute amount; "Surely anyone can write a few sentences in eight hours? Even I could do that!" They're making the same false-entailment, without seeing the craft that went into those paragraphs/day, or realising that there will be days when said author writes nothing and others where they're in the zone and write an almost-perfectly-formed chapter. That doesn't stop "paragraphs/day" from being a bad metric, nor does it imply that anyone who writes a paragraph a day will end up with anything good.
That bit will already be sewn up. They would not arrest if they didn't think they could extradite, they would wait until their next holiday and grab them there.
I recently moved a fair sum of money between two countries where no EU-style agreements exist.

I used regular money and went through a fairly well-known fintech company who specializes in this type of thing, and I think the whole process only took around 6 hours.

From memory it cost around 0.5% of the transfer value, and gave me the true mid-market rate.

We're not truly living in a world where it's Bitcoin or we stay completely at the mercy of the banks (w.r.t sending money across borders, at least), and the banks will catch up to where the fintech is - much like Travel Agents, they're just still successfully arbitraging their incumbency against the knowledge (w.r.t technology and the other options available) level of the general population.
Right, and my comment is that this line of reasoning is bullshit.

Same language doesn't mean you can necessarily speak it without learning the new words, forgetting some stuff that went deprecated, learning some syntactic sugar and new features. If you were born in 1400 and lived to today, you'd be going from speaking from Medieval French to modern French with hardly noticing the difference...
Buddhism-based meditation tours are quite popular in Korea. Many Korean temples offers "Temple stay" [1] program which is pretty much the same as the jail: locking themselves up in the temple to escape from the city life for a cople of days. The jail in the article seems to be a slightly exaggerated form of templestay. The motivation behind it is pretty accurate tho.

Of course not everyone want this, and it is Buddhism - half of Koreans are christian.

Using Google Maps in Vue with Vue-Google-Maps
Locally (Stockholm, Sweden) the head of the city libraries has made a statement of battling the 'quietness norm' in libraries. Most of them now have playgrounds, one in Kista (where I happened to live at the time) won awards for best library in the world and in Sweden the same year.

It was completely unusable for what me and my fiance usually do at the library. The study rooms had the ventilation system for the building running through them with a loud dull noise making going back out to the playground-ridden small library with build int coffee-shop feel like putting on active noise supressing headphones. And the playground + café + it being placed in a mall (as opposed to across the street in the municipality building like it used to be) made reading or browsing a hard task.

My fiance who has ASD really has no public space available at all in this city anymore and we are moving to another city where we know of accessible quieter places, including parks and libraries without built-in noise generators.

Historical reasons. Keyboards were invented long before computers, for teletypes, with 5-bit codes, or Morse codes.
Almost every time there will be regression test cases to verify the results,and the new builds will never reproduce perfectly the numerical results. In general is not a issue, has to be handled case by case.

A bigger issue is that modern compilers will raise many warnings, and simple inspection will find many bugs, like array or loop boundaries errors, and when you fix the code you get a different result.

Then it has to be handled case by case as well, since you have to check if that affects safety of flight.
Perhaps not a sex offense, but it can still be illegal. Here in the Netherlands it's illegal in the "bebouwde kom" (basically within a village/town/city). But it's fine when you're in a forest somewhere (within reason - don't piss on someones leg).
> The UI should be the easy bit.

That's your problem right there. Many (most?) FOSS contributors are in it for the intellectual challenge. Designing a good UI is perceived as a lesser problem compared to technical challenges, and therefore disregarded.

Also, design is not the comfort zone of most FOSS contributors (which is why some FOSS projects do dedicated outreach programs not only to women or minorities, but also to designers).

Also, I think there is still some "it was hard to write, so it should be hard to use" mentality. I frequently see it justified it as an avoidance tactic for developer burnout: By making it hard to use your software (e.g. by providing no documentation, or by coating the documentation with a thick layer of jargon), the only users you'll get are the ones persistent enough to work through that on their own, and those will be the ones that deliver high-quality bug reports and contributions.

I'd love to read an analysis of how the world in general has gotten so loud. Even a few hundred years ago, the centers of massive cities like Paris, Rome, or Istanbul must have been significantly quieter, being that cars, horns, trains, speakers, boomboxes, industrial plants, airplanes and everything else that creates noise pollution didn't exist.

> Per-query pricing seems...odd?

Could also be to disuade people from (ab)using it instead of proper metrics. Pretty sure SumoLogic lets you run queries on a cron and use the results for alarming (IMO not a great idea, seen it go wrong). And if there's an API, people will automate it and use it for god knows what. So charging for it seems like a smart enough move, iff the price is sane/competitive.

I help organise events and it's been our biggest complaint for some venues: that as the afternoon progresses, the music gets so loud it's impossible to hold a conversation.

We pass the complaints along, but the response is usually "Corporate insists we do this, we hate it too, apparently it makes people buy more drinks".

In practice, at least from the data I've gathered, it drives people away.
I read something, maybe here on HN, about a company trying a new preventive medicine policy for their C-level execs, where every one of them would get an annual full body MRI. The rationale was that the execs were so valuable to the company that a few thousand dollars of MRI costs per person per year would be nothing compared to the loss of having one of them die of cancer, get sick and quit, or whatever.

If I recall correctly, the program was discontinued after they determined that it led to a bunch of medical overtreatment. Everybody's a little different, plenty of odd things may show up on an MRI, but the vast majority of unusual findings were benign.

If I can find the specific case I'm thinking of, I'll edit this comment to add it in. Or maybe someone out there recognizes this and can refresh my memory? I think the program was in the '00s, not the current decade.
Two claims without any arguments to support them:

> Its not like everyone, everywhere will start gene editing at the same time.

When gene editing technology becomes available, it most likely becomes available across the world at the same time. Sure, poor people might not have access to it, but the upper classes in all countries will.

> but with time humanity can progress and solve most problems.

Wishful thinking. We're about 100 years into the era of human development where we can annihilate ourselves through our own action, and plenty of evidence points to our continued survival being caused by sheer luck (just look up Stanislav Petrov) or because the cause-and-effect changes take longer than 100 years (as in climate change).

And the possible avenues for self-annihilation are only expanding. It used to be "only" nuclear war and climate change, soon it's also gene editing, and the robot uprising is already on the horizon for the next 100 years or so.
