Our very being, not just consciousness, is inseparable from our physical body. One day you maybe able to create an exact clone of the body to house the mind, but what good that would be? The body would be an exact clone with all its flaws. If you move the mind to a body that does not have those flaws, the mind is bound to change. We experience everything through our bodies and those experiences make our minds what they are. At least IMO.

I surely doubt that we know the origins of religion. And they surely are not a waste of time. Something that has been part of the human culture for as long as we know is bound to have some meaning. And pleas, take a look at some of the proofs for gods existence and nonexistence, some of them are quit elegant.

>fire insurance includes fire department service. you can go cheap and risk burning down

One of the reasons for a nationalised fire service was because Insurance-company funded firemen had a tendency to be arsonists.

Productive? By whose definition? For example if I was an editor with the possible exception of Read It Later what addons in this list make me more productive?

Just another "this is how I roll in the web and these are my addons/blings" post IMHO.
I think it's reasonable that people could see this as a bad comment.

The whole point is that no-one should be able to say "this is important that it stays private, this isn't important".

For one thing it's none of their business, for another historically the most unusual things have been used for discrimination or oppression. What may be seen as acceptable today may not be so tomorrow. What may be the folly of youth now may be seen as a clear lack of judgement tomorrow.
People tend to shove disruptive in wherever they can - I guess because it sounds cool. _Cannibalize_ might be better here?

Anyway, it's hard to argue Apple didn't cannibalize on its own iPod sales when it introduced the iPhone, and with some mild success. Not all companies seem willing to do that.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you just sed disrupt for cannibalize, the argument makes more sense.

1) Market can figure it out. At which price would you gross more money? I guess the answer would be something like $10.
Books are overpriced anyway in the USA, and there's no reason to pay $30 for an ebook.

2) You can still make promo prices for different regions, but the service should be available everywhere.
IIRC, originally a "computer" was a term which referred to a (generally female) person, whose job was to feed numbers into an adding machine / calculator. So it makes sense that the first programmers would have been women; it was (is) a secretarial position of repetitive, mundane tasks below an idea-thinking boss-man.

That programmers are now ~90% male, is surely just further evidence that the tables are turning, and women will be running the world soon. jk (kinda)

Around 200m download logs, 2m articles, some million IP addresses. I suspect that interest in research papers is inherently high dimensional and dimensional reduction would probably damage the results.

I don't have much hardware to throw at it either. I just started looking at randomized algorithms - trying to produce a random walk on the download graph that links articles with probability proportional to some measure of similarity (probably cosine distance or Jaccard index).
Desktops are taking a hit from iPad sales? Hmm.. have a link to back this up? Not doubting you - I'm genuinely curious.

By the way - even if iPad sales are higher than (Apple) desktop sales, and if iPad sales are on the rise and desktop sales on in decline, please do not assume that desktop sales are taking a hit because of iPads.

Unfortunately, for some technical reasons that are too arcane to get into here, extremely sharp filters are not suitable for GPS receivers.

It would have been better for everyone, including LightSquared, if the political appointees at the FCC had not tried to simultaneously ignore international frequency-allocation treaties, disregard the advice of their own engineering-educated colleagues, and break the laws of physics.
Well, those can be interesting, too. Unfortunately, this one isn't.

Let's leave aside the fact library.nu was illegal under current laws, but for many books it was the only reasonable option to obtain it.

library.nu offered extreme convenience for those outside of US especially in the education sector.

When I lived in US, it was quite inexpensive to order physical books. I used to order older editions of university books for a few bucks each and shipping was very inexpensive (think Amazon Prime now).

Now in Europe it is quite hard to bargain shop for books. Perhaps anyone have any tips?

Shopping on Amazon is physically painful, when you see how much you end up paying for extra costs.

Then there is the matter of buying experience for e-books.

Buying e-books on O'Reilly feels the best out of all current e-book sellers, you actually feel like an owner of the e-book(even though of course you really are not).

Still the ideal would be that e-books would be inexpensive to purchase and that buying a physical book would qualify one for e-book version.

'But the most lucrative and amusing part was the blue box. Wozniak showed its virtues to his friends. Wozniak made some calls to his sister who was working on a kibbutz in Israel. On Jobs's urging the pair turned a pastime into a small business and began selling the devices. "He wanted money," Wozniak said of his partner.'

Why Have Famous Brands Used Flower Power In Their Flower Logo Design?
As companies are growing more ecologically conscious, they want to assure the same to their customers and a flower logo design is the most appropriate choice to do that.
By the way it's important to recall that one of the first things that Jobs killed were the Apple clones -- an idea that HBR pushed in the 90s.
Such filters would be of no use against deliberate in-band interference.
No Internet On March 8?
I worked as a dating coach fulltime for ~ 4 years, and all that stuff seemed pretty unsavoury. The idea that you could memorize a few lines and trick some woman back to your house by manipulating her spoke strongly to the worst kind of thought processes in people, in an industry otherwise notable for its commitment to personal growth.
Based on one novel? Wow.

Kind of scary to have real blood and war paralleled to tech startups really.

Its a bit like ad execs memorizing Sun Tzu. Or worse, the credit given to the Internet in Egypt whilst now nobody talks about the daily struggle still there.

Aw, before I clicked through, I guessed this article was from the 90s - I was sure that vim had taken over the world by now. Goodness gracious, folks, it's 2012!! :-)

In all seriousness, although these are all good points and I'm quite jealous of Emacs' tetris mode, I think you're missing out on one of the best features of Emacs: shell mode. IMO shell mode (or whatever it's called) should easily be at the top of the list. I wish there were a decent analogue to this feature in vim but there really isn't, just a bunch of not-quite-there plugins...

Here we go with the stereotyping again. The point you make has validity, but I simply cannot get behind it for the amount of stereotyping you are doing of the poor.

You are subscribing to the all-too-common "poor people with big screens and iPhones? What's that all about?" fallacy, except you ascribe even more universality to it than most.

> "People prefer spending their money on vacation, video games, buying the latest smartphone and so on"

This is a stereotype, unless you have convincing data to back it up. It is also about as offensive and useful as "black people! fried chicken! watermelons!"

See how far the conversation gets when this happens?

The "poor people are poor because they waste their money on lavish stupid spending" is a refrain we've heard way too many times. It's simply not true, fails to comprehend the complexity of the situation, and is frankly a complete moral cop-out.

I've had the fortunate/unfortunate experience of living on the wrong side of the tracks for part of my college years. I've lived with and befriended many of the people we upper-middles love to stereotype, victim-blame, and mock, and while there's always a sliver of truth to every stereotype, the characterization that the poor are poor, or that the poor are fat, because they're too stupid to act responsibly, is a pernicious and toxic lie.

Let's enumerate, for the record. You seem to believe that the poor:

- Spend their money on vacation, video games, and the latest smartphones instead of being smart about their finances.

- Need to watch 4 hours of "dumb TV shows" every night to be satisfied with their (presumably pathetic and meaningless) lives.

I honestly don't think we can have a discussion about the broader point of diet/obesity while you're chiseling at these points.

> "You cannot seriously tell me that 33% of the US is composed of poor people living in crime-ridden suburbs."

Have you been to the US lately? Despite what you might see in major cities or in the Valley, the majority of this country is poor as fuck. The notion that the vast majority of America enjoys a standard of living lightyears ahead of the rest of the world... is simply not true. Fully 42% of this country has an annual income of under $25,000.

The obesity epidemic in the USA is at its core tied to socioeconomic status. Hell, the fact that state-by-state obesity rates is highly correlated with state economic strength should be very telling.

Contrary to how Vim is usually used Emacs users tend to start only one Emacs instance and spawn multiple windows from that. This is because using a single Emacs session has certain advantages (completion, searching buffers, start up time (mostly a thing of the past now), etc.).

However one disadvantage is Emacs not responding when it is busy with something else, like f.e. someone else mentioned Gnus retrieving mail. It doesn't happen often but it is annoying. I tended to use a separate Emacs instance for Gnus in the past.

I wonder if the acceleration is increasing at a constant rate.
As far as I can tell, the reasons are that there are RIAA/MPAA-like cartels in most countries, which control the local distribution rights. Anyone wanting to sell music needs to negotiate deals with each of these individual copyright fiefdoms in order to be able to do business in the respective country. The legal costs are similar for each country, the expected returns vary wildly with affluence and size of the country.

Apple has very, very deep pockets and a track record of making money hand over fist, and they've got quite far with music, but movies and TV series are only available in a few countries near the top of the list in terms of GDP. You can infer from that how hard it must be for anyone else.

I assume they make it so difficult because they're terrified of upsetting their existing distribution channels. There's no other way I can explain why a DVD is cheaper than the same movie on iTunes, and why CDs on Amazon are still often cheaper than their MP3 counterparts on the same site.
Instead of getting too far ahead of ourselves (battling AIs, hightech helmet visors, etc.) maybe it's a more mundane reason, they are afraid of having their playbooks hacked. A physical paper binder goes missing and people notice. Someone gains a backdoor into your iPad and it might not ever be reported. Or as Anechoic describes it, they don't want information leaked before it goes on air.

Humans still play football. They are free to change the play during the snap (which is what audibles are for) and even invent new ones on the field. I've never had a chess piece or even a Starcraft trooper decide to just get up and walk in a different direction. It took a roomful of supercomputer to defeat 1 human in a chessmatch. Imagine what would be required to anticipate the moves of 22 of them.

Much as the NFL love their dollars, I have to give them kudos for keeping the actual area of the game free of advertising. Here in Australia, in our local version of football, we will slap advertising on absolutely everything - the grass, the goalposts, the umpires (and players, of course)... even the ball sports McDonald's golden arches!

Why I still use emacs: I've been using it for 10+ years and my fingers and general workflow are very very used to it. I regularly use vim (for quick editing and vimdiff), but keep coming back.

If only emacs had a "project drawer"/"tree drawer" like textmate, then it would be golden. ecb doesn't quite cut it for some reason, I keep reverting to textmate each time I need to get an overview of a huge source tree I'm not familiar with.
and so is posting a link to your own article on hacker news
This is poetry.

Yeah, i once gave a emacs introduction in school and people asking me how i do X, Y. I needed to watch my fingers to tell them.. that was a bit confusing ;)
When I am clearly near death I would prefer pain relief and hospice-style care at home rather than extreme intervention. And yet, as a wheelchair user (on and off) for the last 20 years and a person in constant pain, I've had people tell me to my face they'd rather be dead than be "disabled". I would like to at least mention the importance of listening to people with disabilities on this issue. Because of societal prejudice against people with disabilities, often people's judgement is that we would be better off dead than suffering or impaired. When a disabled person is depressed or suicidal, they are encouraged to die by fans of the likes of Peter Singer or Kevorkian, rather than treated for depression, and helped to have the medical and personal care, and societal infrastructure, that might improve their enjoyment of life.

So, please keep this in mind and perhaps read up on the complexity of the issues -- from the perspectives of disability rights activists as well as doctors or the caretakers of people who are extremely ill. Our slogan is "nothing about us without us" and yet unfortunately, this article is only from the perspectives of caretakers.
The lesson should have been: when you know nothing about taxes, you just don't do them yourself and get professional help instead. It really doesn't cost the world and depending on where you are, you might even save a lot and they can definitely help you figure out what your options are for whatever situation you are in. Don't go cheap on those things... hardly anything is more important for a company than taxes - except maybe paying social insurance for your employees here in Europe.

You don't frakk around on these things; it makes you look extremely unprofessional and can have grave consequences. Grow up.
Sure - read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_royal_candidate_theory and then I guess you know better what this story is all about.

I'm almost certain if you go back a few more dozen generations they are all related to that black couple who lived in that small village near the Kilimanjaro ;-)

Even more impressive is often DNA analysis based ancestry research when it uses characteristics e.g. certain strands/strains that are only present / dominant with certain "races" / areas from where people came.

This research is so precise that you then get results like pharaoh Tutankhamun was 99.6% anglo-saxon or - my favorite one - research done with supporters / right wing neo-nazis in the UK - they are all related to one black roman slave who came to England with the Roman troops.

Anyway... It all started with a thought: "soundcloud has a lot of good stuff inside, but I have no time to explore it", so I made this simple Javascript application that fetch hottest music on soundcloud, show it on a playlist... and play it.
