The thing about prayer that most people don't get is it's just a form of meditation. A lot of people think that it's just saying a bunch of words, others that it's just a conversation with God. It can be the latter and you can extract value from that if you believe but, in the sense of the former, it's never this.

If you think about repeating Hail Mary on rosary beads for n amount of times, this becomes very similar to other Eastern forms of meditation, notably the Hare Krishna mantra. The key is the clearing of the mind and focusing on the mantra.

I don't agree with many of the practices in Catholicism, having also been raised one myself, but I can certainly see the parallels in prayer with meditation as a whole. If you get meditation, prayer becomes easier to understand.

It's unlikely that significant life extension techniques will be developed in our lifetime. In fact all evidence that I've seen is that aging is one of those "classically hard" problems, similar to strong a.i., fluent/human like machine translation, cost-efficient robots with the flexibility of humans, etc. While potentially possible with advanced technology, it's clear that we are not very close at all. It's extremely unlikely that any of those "classically hard" problems will be solved in our lifetime. Even though they would likely be revolutionary if they were.

Better to be realistic and expect that we probably will die, instead of constantly worrying about death and hoping for some miracle cure(IMO).
I don't live in USA so the question might sound stupid. Are there 100% automated calls coming from marketers? What are they saying... do they just tell you about a product or..?

We don't hire people based on our tech stack, or at least knowing every part of is not a prerequisite. I know that great engineers can learn any stack quickly. If you have experience in writing similar (in this case frontend heavy JS) apps with any stack you can potentially work for us.

Anyways, the stack is part of your app. You can either write it yourself or build on existing components. Sure you can build your stack on top of more traditional technology, and likely there will be more potential candidates but finding good developers will be just as hard.

Locke: private property is a cornerstone of liberty.

Hobbes: without government, life has historically tended to be 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.' As a practical matter, it's a lot easier to enjoy your liberty when your property isn't under constant assault from everyone else; by everyone pooling a little of their individual sovereignty in a government, aggregate liberty is vastly increased. It's a political economy argument at its core.

I agree. The title is misleading.
But you can say that about virtually every topic out there.
"Our engine has the highest thrust to weight ratio of any engine in the world, our airframe has the best mass fraction of any rocket in the world - and our electronics are the lightest and have have the most computing power over that of any other rocket."

"The escape system's motors will allow the capsule to land anywhere in the solar system, whether it has an atmosphere or not - and that's pretty cool. These motors can even fire supersonically which is important for Mars: in the higher altitudes of Mars the atmosphere is so thin that parachutes are completely pointless. So retro thrusters have to be able to fire when you are supersonic so they have to be very high thrust."

I've always understood SpaceX's main goal is lowered cost, followed closely by safety. It's pretty awesome that they're also cutting edge in terms of performance.

It’s annoying that their graphic shows percent share of various electricity sources, rather than total quantity, and then makes statements like “The importance of coal in America’s energy mix has indeed tumbled since 1997”. The unstated implication of the words + graphic is that we’re using less coal than we used to be. But if you look at their data source, first it doesn’t include 1997 at all, but more importantly, in 2008 we generated more electricity from coal than in 1998, and the average electricity generation from coal in the last 5 years is higher than the amount generated in either of the first couple years. But mostly, what does it mean for “the importance in the energy mix” to “tumble”? If we stopped using coal power, the price of energy would spike up dramatically; coal is pretty much essential to our current “energy mix”.

The story I see in the data is that our energy use grows on average about 1% per year, with a bit of a dip in 2009, presumably due to the recession. The amount of electricity from natural gas has almost doubled and continues to rise, the amount from hydroelectric dams has been slowly creeping downward, and the amount from other renewable sources has been increasing steadily but is still a small fraction of our total “energy mix”.

Most companies' IPOs don't include going to great lengths to successfully offload far more of their shares at a significantly higher price than the shares could sustain.

There's a big difference between leaving money on the table and riding the hype wave for all its worth. Plenty of room for reasonable compromise.
This entire article appears to be based off of the ramblings of one sheriff's deputy in Texas.

I think you vastly over estimate the 'criminal underworld'

This would be the same criminal underworld that currently builds 60-foot submarines?
The biggest gripe I have with weaponized drones is the disconnection between people and responsibility. When a policeman shoots somebody, the ultimate responsibility for the shot is clearly attached to him and there’s little space for denial. When a drone harms somebody, the responsibility for the act is no longer obvious. The government can talk about security logs and similar precautions all night long, but there’s always a way around that. Whenever something can harm humans on purpose, there should be another human directly attached to it.

It's a shame, because having an actual working one would be a really cool feature to do technically. But because of how easy to fake, it doesn't look like much. Then again, the more practical side of me says having a working one is a total waste of time 99% of the time. Everything's an estimate in some way.
These are absolutely hideous and amateurish. Something a newbie 'designer' would come up with in terms of color schemes and shapes and feel damn proud of it just because of the shock value of its 'uniqueness'.
I was born on the edges of the 80s and 90s. I missed the entirety of the space race. I never even knew the enthusiasm towards space flight.
Suddenly SpaceX appears and in only 10 years looks in place to eclipse NASA. They're poised to achieve far greater things than merely following NASA's footsteps. I knew they were looking forward but I didn't expect them to be considering things so far in advance.

I'm genuinely excited by space flight now. I have the new space race (fought between SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Armadillo Aerospace and all these other companies) to thank for it :)

i couldn't help myself -- i clicked through to sotheby's site to see this note at full scale and was sort of blown away.

think about it: here you have a highly detailed bug report by a twentysomething kid who's just a step above being an intern at a tech startup of the day.

my first take away lesson was that steve jobs paid his dues and got his hand dirty in the early days. yes of course you can read about this, but seeing a detailed bug report makes it real...
It's not abstractions per-se I'm arguing against. It's when you have a slightly flawed abstraction and instead of fixing the abstraction you introduce another abstraction to "hide" the flaws.
I once heard a lecture by Joe Haldeman, an author who was a close friend of a Heinlein. IIRC, he said that Heinlein liked to play by taking ideas to their logical extremes and much of what he wrote should be taken as "a modest proposal" instead of perfectly reflective of his personal beliefs.
I'm sure she'd only have to dye her hair red and throw out some witty comments every now and again to fool him...

I have no objection to the rest of your comment, but I do wonder about the part I quoted. Hacker News isn't just, or even primarily, about programming, and articles shouldn't be judged based on their direct relationship with that field.

You don't have to think criminal organizations since they have little to gain from attacking public officials -- that is just likely to get too much attention.

Think China sending a drone and using it to assassinate the the president. Make it fly away and destroy itself over water or some other place where it won't be recovered.

Later on it might be possible for people like McVeight to use a drone to kill the president rather than blow up a federal building.

Surely it depends on how much currency you happen to be holding?

At the moment, most holders of Bitcoin are people either speculating or experimenting with it. But if Bitcoin ever becomes a more generally used medium of exchange, users don't have to hold a lot of money for it to be useful, in the same way you wouldn't keep a lot of cash in your wallet.

Actually, these aren't "hard" problems in the sense that physics disallows them. We have existence proofs of them. It's is just a search problem. You have to set up robotic systems that search the space. So the problem is really one of collective stupidity ie. most people are dumbasses debating they value of time and spending it family/friends, or whether gays should be married, when instead they should be demanding mass industrialization of scientific discovery, or building they it (surplus labor is instead going to youtube/wikipedia/tv watching/novel reading etc.).

Most people think science is done with eureka moments by geniuses, but actually what is needed is a "systematic" exploration.
And all abstractions are leaky.

That's quite a generalization.

Regardless, I'm not sure that CEOs should be told that "hey, you should definitely be micromanaging your team or you're not worth your salary" because some abstractions can be leaky when not designed well.
As I said, I don't think existing professionals will care about this. But people are not born as professionals. Many end up that way because they entered an ecosystem for fun. The functor playground I grew up on has a "suits only" sign now.

Increasingly, Microsoft and Apple are seeing developers as the enemy. Sure, on the one hand they need the outward appearance of a rich software ecosystem, but on the other they feel the need to control it ever more tightly. OS X won't even run non-Apple-approved software in the future and Windows will quickly follow suit.

This is all because both companies have realized something we developers haven't grasped yet: they will be making their money as gate keepers, not as innovators. In fact, innovation is frowned upon - nothing illustrates this better than the OS X Sandbox mechanism and the politics of the App Store. Microsoft, already grappling with the looming specter of irrelevance, will have to copy this. It seems that for OS vendors in this decade it's either "become an autocratic despot or die".

If this keeps up, computers will become seriously limited devices in the near future.
