An encouraging hand can be a forceful hand. It's lazy to tell little Bobby that he should do math and that math is important. Sometimes you have to sit his spoiled little ass down and make him get on with it.

I did not grow up with Asian parents. I do however come from a Eastern European background. There were times when my parents forced me, kicking and screaming, into certain social and academic pursuits. They encouraged me to excel, whether I wanted to or not. I am a better human for it and I am thankful for their guidance.
I am willing to re-state "I have a different definition of 'implementation'"? It actually occurred to me that that is how "full" might be being used in this context (I spent some time recently learning about bitcoin and even ran a class on it a few days ago, and had run into the distinction), but if I were to say I had "an end-to-end website rendering engine written in Erlang" would you not also feel a little disappointed when you got to my page and found only that "most of the core pieces, such as CSS3 selectors, DOM event bubbling, and network connectivity are done and we've open sourced the HTML parser"?

I sort of want the inverse of IDE features; I want VIM to support APIs to make it embeddable. I should be able to use VIM as a window _inside_ eclipse, visual studio, XCode, etc. VIM will simply never replicate the thousands of man-years of work that has gone into the IDEs. And if it did, all it would achieve is being an IDE just like they are already. But I think with a relatively small amount of effort it could publish a binary API spec that would let any IDE embed it's windows (like how Eclipse embeds Internet Explorer windows).

I'm sorry, but I can't resist: Isn't the cap theorem irrelevant, because true network partitions never happen in the real world? If a link fails, an administrator will fix it eventually. With any system implementing ACK packets (tcp is one example) a link that fails but is then fixed is the same as a very slow link.

You need to factor in different lifestyles as well. In more rural areas, you spend significantly more time in your home. Partly because it's nicer, partly because they're fewer choices. In a place like Manhattan, it's not uncommon for your home (esp. if it's small) to be little more than a place you sleep & bathe.

(That's not to say one is better than the other -- each to their own.)

Show HN: ReelComment My Little app for better youtube comment
I'm delighted to share my latest little project just in time after I started adopting lean startup approach.

Been working with a few friends on and off for the past couple of months, it's awesome to "launch" it under the name "reelcomment", in that it is about better video comment, markup for youtube video, as I feel it's getting messier and harder to find videos on youtube. I'd love to have a place to store my favorite place under different categories, quickly find the key moments within each video, and engage in conversation with friends and people who care.

This is probably less than what a MVP should be, but we are iterating it as we go.

Please check it out and let me know your feedback, you're always awesome - http://reelcomment.com

Let's break it down,

ITAR defines export as transferring an article or technical data (§ 120.7).

Technical data, by definition, is not in the public domain (§ 120.10.5).

DEFCAD claims the files are in the public domain, i.e., available in bookstores (§ 120.11.1) and libraries open to the public (§ 120.11.4). So they cannot qualify as technical data to satisfy the export requirement.

On the other hand, the then-US government and its advisors clearly didn't read as much as General Mattis (or read the wrong books), and did not expect to find themselves embroiled in a bloody civil war. The fact that, as usual, there is not one bad single reason to go to war, but multiple ones, does not mean that acquiring strategic oil supplies was not a significant factor. And of course, spreading freedom and Coca-Cola through shock and awe.
I don't think you should be sorry. I was wondering the same thing. If messages can't get lost (because of good network monitoring), can't you have perfect consistency and availability?

That said, practically speaking your system may have to wait for the partition to be fixed, which would either make the system practically unavailable or practically inconsistent. But not theoretically, at least, not as this site describes it.
They're on The Pirate Bay from what I understand, so its a little too late for that now...

I have a different definition of "debunk".
http://www.scribd.com/doc/140471313/Letter-from-Department-o...

The letter references a number of items besides the printable gun, including "125mm BK-14M high-explosive anti-tank warhead" Which sounds rather closer to matching the intent of the munitions export regulations.
To the extent that it is feasible, we should follow moral and ethical principles, not laws.

Serious Sam 3 from Croteam :)
I don't think he really debunked it there, he just came up with a way around it. If you accept what the theorem assumes about your system, then the cap theorem applies to you. Any system that squirrels away from it's assumptions can be said to "beat" it, but only in a practical sense.
No such thing as an always-valid p-value. Observations that were predictive yesterday may have no value tomorrow.
It's just data. Good luck vacuuming it up from every crack of the Internet.
More than you would imagine. The problem has always been awareness, access, noise and definitions. Most people aren't aware data relevant to them is collected and when they discover data they want, it's in a format that is difficult to use or full of noise. And even if you get clean data in a format you want, it can be hard to find official definitions and criteria describing the data, so it's not uncommon for two agencies to appear to collect the same data, but it's not really the same data because those agencies are working under their own varied definition or criteria.

When I worked as a financial analyst in Brazil, I was amazed at the data that was available from IBGE and various other governmental agencies. Despite the availability of data, it was rarely in a format that was useful without constantly having to writing a special scraper/parser. And even then the same type of data was inconsistent between sources.
Yes, your out of pocket is premium + out of pocket maximum.

No, HSAs no longer have caps (at least policies signed after a certain date, or in some states; I think pretty soon they'll have no annual or lifetime maximums at all); they're essentially "you're at risk based on your deductible for non-preventive services up to the out of pocket maximum, but excellent essentially-free care for the rest of the year once you hit that cap"). (there are some weird edge cases, like Rx drugs outside the hospital, potentially non-covered services, etc., but essentially a $500k hospital bill for some serious trauma would all be covered after you've paid the $5-7k out of pocket maximum (probably met on the way to the hospital or within seconds of entering the ER, if it's a serious trauma)

You can solve the "poor have no use for tax deductions" by giving them the out of pocket maximum into the HSA; it's free money in a personal allocated account. Or by making some deductions refundable or credits (similar to the EIC, which is most of why Puerto Rico wants to become a state now...most citizens would earn a federal tax rebate!)

The quick fix is probably to make personal purchases of health insurance also deductible, rather than removing employer health insurance deductibility. And push people into HSAs, with some people getting HSA account filling by the government. No one should be against this (except I guess "any tax decreases are bad, since we're already operating at a deficit")

I don't speak much about my experience with depression but I avoid it namely because it's hard to describe to people the emotions you feel as you "deal" with it.

For about a decade I had noticed a behaviour in my mood and it caused a great deal of grief for my friends, those I worked with, and most importantly myself. It never really prevented me from holding down a job, but it very much delayed me from achieving certain things in my life that I have only recently started to attain. I blame my leaving post-secondary school early partly because of the fact that I could not cope with the demands that it brought upon me as well as the fact that I was losing a lot of interest in things that I once had some level of passion for before.

It was never destructive to the point where I wanted to go and kill myself--although there were fleeting moments where I questioned the validity of such an action. However, it definitely brought me down a few notches and it was only when I began to approach the issue seriously that I found myself on the road to actually recovering. I had to let go of certain things to get to this point and it was only by opening up to a select few people did I find myself going down a path to better things.

Years of treatment and some self-exploration has brought a level of calm to my life--I haven't seen a doctor about the issue in about three years now. I avoided using it as a crutch in my relationships with people (even when I knew it was probably a part of the tension), but I was less and less uncomfortable telling people once I knew that it wasn't all in my head so to speak. With that said, not everyone understands depression but I cannot condemn them for it because it's a rather convoluted and complex thing to explain. Hell, I don't even know what I am writing here to say the least.

Allie's statements definitely resonated with me and I'm glad to see her writing again because her previous post about depression made me think about how things were going mid-treatment. There is no real "cure" to depression but I do think that there is a certain level of exploration that is needed to be done to sort of make the whole issue less of a barrier to what you want to accomplish. Even to this day I still have to struggle with certain aspects of it, but I understand now after so many years of pain that it can be defeated or at the very least put at bay.

Probably because the article specifically states that the hackers increased the withdrawl limits on the cards they used. There is no indication that a delay in data syncing was the cause of the problem.

I'm a Thiel fellow without much public info listed about my project. I'm not even listed in the grand list comment here.

My work isn't widely publicized because I simply don't feel the need at this stage. The community I'm working with doesn't read the tech press and I don't feel comfortable broadcasting my not-ready-for-primetime work. I don't particularly care to be famous; to be honest, the whole CNBC documentary irritated me.

Actually that's only part of the story. Another part of the story is that the project I'm working on is in a space that is a bit slow moving and requires quite a bit of learning on my part. I'm spending more than a little time exploring its nuances. It takes time to get a product to market in biomedical spaces because I have to validate it scientifically. At this stage, when I make progress, I make a note of it in my journal and smile.

And yet another part of the story is that the fellowship helps put me in a position to work somewhat quietly. You won't hear stories of my project raising a round yet, because there isn't a need right now, given $50K a year. I have sufficient connections in the life science and medical communities that I don't find myself angling for more attention.

That said, I don't operate in super-stealth mode. I'm happy to tell curious folks what I'm working on (just email me, see my profile). So, there's your open invitation, ask away.

The comment threads about this post are definitely an exercise in irony.

She touches on, but doesn't get into the fact that she can still pick up on all social cues, and still feels obligated to respond to the imposition that others put on her to feel better and be happy despite the fact that she's unable.

And it's the fact that it's not possible for the depressed person to fulfill the social interaction that non-depressed people want (e.g. non-depressed person wants depressed person to cheer up, depressed person knows they can't cheer up) that causes the depressed person to avoid the non-depressed person and their unfeasible demands.

From experience - A lot of people are vested in NOT understanding depression, it clashes with their fundamental atomic level beliefs of how the world operates.

You can try explaining or providing aids for people to understand depression, but unless they have an urge to get it and an open mind, they wont.

Or worse, they don't want to understand that YOU have it. "Well depression could exist, but YOU don't have it."

> As we move from the "low" level to the "high", say from the domain of machine code all the way up to, for instance, a rich, expressive Ruby DSL, the question arises, as it does for all language: have we acquired a surplus of content that cannot be simply reduced to core rules?

This was the statement that I started all this with. I am taking "surplus of content" to mean "a bunch of programs" in this context due to the quote speaking of a Ruby DSL. Programs can be reduced to a sequence of logical operations if they are computable, which I would take as 'core rules'.

Therefore, only non-computable programs can not be reduced to a set of core rules by the definition of computability. QED

Maybe you can explain 'it is much more than merely what happens when it runs'? Do you mean that what it took to create the program was greater than the resulting program and it's effects caused by running it? That the meta-logic used to create the program is far greater than the logic in the program itself?

I am 'much more' than the results of actions when I act. I have a past history that has created me, a physical body being used to act with, the world I am acting in, and the resulting effects of my actions, plus everything else I have missed. I that what you mean by 'much more'?

Quoting some guy off reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/1e08me/hyperbole...):

>Depression is two beasts, gray anhedonia and black dysphoria.

> The gray beast smothers, drains, deadens and numbs; the black beast brings misery, anguish, self hatred and despair. They often work together, the gray sucking away every positive feeling and the black feeding everything negative. But sometimes one is dominant, and if the gray beast gets its teeth all the way into you, it takes away not just positive feelings but everything until you're just a walking shell so empty you can't even fully comprehend what you've lost.

> The converse, when the black beast has you, can be much like you describe - you can still feel a kind of dreadful, frenzied joy in short moments as you cling desperately to the edge of the sucking dark hole in yourself, trying to ignore the beast's whispers that any pleasure is a lie that will just make the coming pain more stark and inescapable and utterly deserved.

> They're liars, but they're good at it. Because they know you, because they are you. Pieces of you mind that should serve you and keep you stable and safe, but somehow grown and empowered out of all proportion. To live with them and not let them win shows a kind of strength that most people are sadly unable to recognize.
