> There was more memorizing rather than abstract problem solving.

FWIW, you need sleep for memorizing as well. Stuff just won't stick if you don't cement it with a good night's rest.

Cramming it all the night just before an exam does work though, I did that myself too, but I think it only worked because I already had a solid foundation. Also that will never work for "insight" type of questions, just rote memorization.

In Atlanta, critical mass got up to 300+ riders before the city/police finally got tired of the illegal blocking of intersections. (They call it "corking") Atlanta police had 10-20 motorcycle cops follow the ride and pull over anyone who broke the law (running red lights, etc.) for a couple of weeks and the popularity quickly dropped off when people realized they had to still follow traffic laws. It still goes on every month, but it's more like 50 riders now.

There are also of course plenty of legal rides/events that get permits, police escorts(sometimes free), etc. We have something called "Atlanta Streets Alive" that shuts down several miles of large streets every few months to only pedestrian and bike traffic, allowing people to walk and play in the streets with no cars. Permits are required, off-duty police have to be hired to direct traffic at intersections etc.

A bit judgmental aye? Reads to me like the comment is based on the meditator's experience and isn't an injunction on other, but an observation based on experience.

I think it's an important observation to point out to that this device may intact hinder the desired effects of (at least) zazen.

People watch TV or play games for mutiple hours, meditating 2-3hours seems hardly excessive in light of that.
By no means is this my forte, but would this violate the conservation of mass?
Your best bet is breaking up the larger effort tasks into many smaller effort tasks. You need to refactor 3 libraries? Refactor one function at a time. Keep good notes on what you've done and what still needs to be done. Continually make small progress.

Set aside DND time on the calendar where your team knows that you are not to be interrupted unless the servers are on fire.
While I imagine that most Windows Ruby users already know this, I found it surprising that there still has not been an installer for Ruby 2.1 released for Windows. It appears there is at least one test failing on Windows that no one has had the time to fix.

Considering that we are almost half way to the 2.2 release date (Dec 2014), it seems like Windows support may end up becoming a second-class citizen.

Sooner or later, this sort of thing must be addressed with a "public utility" perspective in mind -- not just in US but here in Europe as well. Why can I use different gas providers, or different electricity providers, or even different water providers in some countries, without pipe ownership being a factor? Answer: better laws. A degree of resource-sharing is forced upon providers by law, for the benefit of consumers.
It sounds really good, congrats! But growth is the statistic to focus on. Maybe make your current stat of 600 users be your starting point and make it your goal to increase 10-15% weekly from now on.

Also, reach out to your current users constantly and ask for feedback so you know what to improve on for each iteration. This will come in handy 4 months down the road when you are trying to gain 300 users in a week. Good luck!

There aren't many barriers to entry in this field though. It's not a situation like a utility/ISP where you can only feasibly have one last-mile connection due to permits or limited radio spectrum. It's not even something like a nuclear reactor which costs $10B and a decade before you can flip the switch.

This is so true. I had a job in a factory making lights and after a day I was pull aside by the foreman and told to slow down. The funny thing is I was not even trying to be fast - I thought I was being really slow as I had been concentrating so much on getting every part perfect.

More seriously when you are new take the time to observe the culture of the place before saying or doing anything unexpected. Your primary job in the first month is learning the true power structure and who matters to who.
"If you're early in your career and at a place where doing "too good of a job" is frowned upon, IMO, you're better off to find that out early and leave early. "

-agreed 100% Leave unless you need the job.
This scenario applies less to the startup (and probably IT worlds) than it does to other places but unfortunately I believe it is pretty common in older established companies. You might not be told you are doing "too good of a job" but if you are threat to your supervisors there is good chance life could be rough at this stage. So make sure you are helping them look good and not appearing to be gunning for their positions. That was my point. And I hear you on newbies thinking their inexperienced pivots are game changing paradigm shifters. I think we have all seen that as well but it wasn't specifically what I was referring to.

I'm finishing my 5th year of grad school now. My adviser constantly sets expectations so high that they literally cannot be met. I have had to skip holidays and neglect my family and I have still often had my work trivialized. My work is not appreciated, the fact that I have given up almost everything else in my life is not appreciated. Most people do not even make it to their 5th year in our group.

I spent a lot of time being really bitter about all this. But I have realized that you have to do this to be a good scientist. My adviser only wants to train good scientists. So I'm not even upset about it any more. I have to look beyond my adviser, and look at the actual science I am doing, and realize that he is irrelevant, but that I still have to behave in this way (i.e. giving up much else in my life) to make progress.

I don't know if you'll encounter this in neurosci. Perhaps good neurosci research can be done without this level of commitment. I'm sure it would depend on your exact specialty. But I'm telling you all this so that you don't end up being really bitter towards your adviser if you get into a situation like many aspiring scientists face. It's not his fault.

I'm not exactly sure what your problem was with the quotes you posted. I guess it was that he was calling his students weak? My point is: in school, what your adviser says is fundamentally irrelevant. Don't let it affect your self-esteem. But science itself has a way of absolutely kicking your butt. And that is why professors say things like that in the first place.

It takes massive virtue to be a good scientist. It also takes a particular set of life circumstances in order for it to be a rational choice. What I do would not have been a rational choice if I had considered it mandatory (for me) to have a girlfriend or start a family, for example (at this stage in life).

That said, I haven't left because what I do truly is rewarding. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing. I am a purely selfish person. I don't do science for the greater good. So my point here is: it can be worth it.
Stopped reading/caring when I read "the fog" a term created by "Marketers at Cisco Systems Inc."

Nope. As energy equals mass times the speed of light squared you're just converting energy into matter. It's just the opposite of what the atomic bomb does.
Conservation of mass is not applicable in the conditions under discussion, see Wikipedia's fun list of exceptions to conservation of mass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_mass#Exceptions...
Yep. It probably wouldn't be hard to modify this workflow to use Less or Stylus instead so that you don't need Ruby.
But EM as a subject, as its usually taught, is still theoretical. Experimental EM would be better known as either electronics or statistics. You make it sound like theoretical means lacking experimental support, perhaps that is what the word means in, say, politics, but certainly not in physics.

I'm not "being a jackass to him," I'm calling him out on his bullshit claims that fish oil is nutrionally beneficial. My justification is the journal article linked in my first post.
Mass by itself is only conserved in nonrelativistic classical physics. When you are in a relativistic regime the conserved quantity is a combination of momentum and energy. (You've probably seen E = mc^2, which shows that mass and energy can be transformed into each other.)
Use digitalocean api to create servers and ssh into them to do stuff.
Wiki:

The law of conservation of mass, or principle of mass conservation, states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy (both of which have mass), the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system mass cannot change quantity if it is not added or removed.

Forge is essentially a platform that makes it very easy to provision a Laravel-ready server (though it states it works with other frameworks too). It's a replication of Laravel Homestead (http://laravel.com/docs/homestead) on a server, so you can have the same development and production environments.

Really easy and powerful tool – BUT (this is a big one), why lock someone in with GitHub? Sure, GitHub is great. But what if I use BitBucket? Or even my own solution for my private projects?

This has killed many other services before for me, Pagoda Box (if I recall correctly) also forced someone to use GitHub, so did Appfog (or PHPfog rather).

I like Fortrabbits solution, where you at least can push your own code.
Ensuring the media can only be played back according to the terms of the business agreement. Netflix pays a certain amount for US distribution rights to Disney movies. If a UK company didn't enforce the geographical restrictions in their contract, they are effectively distributing in the US without paying for it. Netflix would not be happy with that.

It's less about people using VPNs or downloading torrents -- you can't stop that as easily. But the legal distribution methods have to make an honest attempt at ensuring the contractual restrictions are honored or else they become meaningless.

I'm not arguing that these geographic or windowing restrictions are a good thing -- just that they're a thing and they have value in a contract that companies want to protect. The pirates aren't the issue here -- the competition is.
How much energy is this photon/photon collier going to take? If a future experiment works, could we use this created matter to turn around and use it as energy? Or would that not be possible (i.e. - The energy used is far greater than the energy gained)
Funnily enough, that's exactly what they did do, back in 2008 :)

Mass is not a conserved quantity. Energy for example is a conserved quantity. So like in a nuclear fission reaction we loose mass but this lost mass is then converted into energy. I have not read the article in detail, but I suppose they want to turn part of the photons energy into masses for the electron and the positron. Mass and energy are linked via E = mc^2.
That's a pretty encouraging start - I was going to subscribe but the rate seems exorbitant. Is this just a symptom of small-scale publishing, of crowdfunding, a lack of advertising or all of the above?

These are all very important points. I think that writing down what you learn, and (also very importantly) what you do is a really good thing. When you leave, having written down what you have done will enable you to quickly and easily update your CV/resume.

My mom was born in 1943 a little bit before the hunger winter hit, so I'm well aware of the effects of the hunger winter on the Dutch population.

As for making myself look dumb, you seem to want to make this a personal issue, I merely think it is strange to put soylent green in the context of the hunger winter of '44 when we have far more recent examples that are much higher impact.

And those have been studied extensively as well, and their aftermath is happening right now.

> Here I think the logical comparison is other powdered foods (slim fast, protein shakes, weight gainers, etc) or grocery shopping.

Then, let me repeat myself: I spend $10/day on lunch based on grocery shopping. Easily.

There are certainly many parts of the world where $10/day for Soylent would not be competitive at all. And it certainly would be less competitive for people who value their time low enough to spend time keeping the cost down (I could probably cut 1/3 of my lunch bill by going to the cheaper grocery store 5-10 minutes away rather than the one downstairs from the office; and I could cut quite a bit off the bill by spending time finding the cheapest lunch meat, and the cheapest bread etc., but I won't).

But the point remains, that while $10/day may sound expensive, in many locations it is not, and even less so when comparing with "shopping as quickly as possible" vs. bargain hunting.
This was my frustration also. It surprises me that they haven't worked out an arrangement to either make that feature an upgrade or worked out a way to make financial arrangements with (I'm guessing) the people who have broadcast rights for a market.

> StartSSL won't give me a cert (they did previously, but want $$$ now)

Do you have reference for that? I've been using their free certs for a few things for a while and a recent renewal was free. I'll be paying for one shortly, but that is only because I want a wildcard for one of my domains in order to save some faf.

I suspect your problem is the "third level domain" thing: they would effectively need to have permission from the over of the next level up to sign a cert on your behalf for one of their names (or you would need your domain provider to take part in the validation process).

> for those that can afford it - the rest of us doomed to plaintext or rejected as "self signed"

That certainly isn't the intention of the security community, but until a method is found that allows certificates to be freely produced without the security risks involved with self-signed certs that is what we (well, those in the poverty trap) are stuck with.

How StartSSL arrange their business model seems to be one solution, your current problem above not withstanding. If the depth of your free domain is the issue then perhaps the solution lies with the domain registrant taking the cost of a wildcard certificate (~$30/yr with startssl, ~$60/yr elsewhere) and so their subscribers can use it for SSL. They would have to proxy web requests to you though (with something like nginx in a reverse proxy configuration), so it would not be a zero admin option and would cost them in extra bandwidth requirements too unless they already host your content (rather than just responding to DNS requests for content hosted elsewhere), otherwise the only way you could use the cert is for you to know the private key which breaks the assurance model completely. Perhaps you could convince a provider of third level domains that taking these steps could give them with a competitive advantage over similar providers who do not.

In fact, even in that article

"Mosquitoes consume up to 300 millilitres of blood a day from each animal in a caribou herd, which are thought to select paths facing into the wind to escape the swarm. A small change in path can have major consequences in an Arctic valley through which thousands of caribou migrate, trampling the ground, eating lichens, transporting nutrients, feeding wolves, and generally altering the ecology. Taken all together, then, mosquitoes would be missed in the Arctic — but is the same true elsewhere?"

There seems to be this assumption that a small ecological disruption wouldn't cascade and to me that seems pretty short-sighted.
