hi cosmicadvocate, thanks so much for your comment! I've been wondering years about his worldview as I recognized much of it from my own questions and answers. If only he'd be alive!

The link is fortunately still present in the internet archive, but if you have a mobi version handy that would be nice for offline reading on my ipad kindle app. You can sent it to fsieFKen at gmail.

There is more to him then simple creativity, he was an academic philosopher and romantic, yearning for the spiritual and his mystic side really shows in this book.
There is some similarity with other writers like the dutch Frederik van Eeden (psychiatrist) and his book "The Deeps of Deliverance", Herman Hesse, Kahlil Gibran and Dostojevski.

"Olaf Stapledon married Agnes Zena Miller, a first cousin from Australia, on July 16, 1919, at Friends Meeting House, a Quaker establishment at Reigate, Surrey. Agnes, the oldest of four children, was born in New Zealand on May 25, 1894, the daughter of Frank Edward and Margaret Barnard Miller. Frank was a brother of Olaf's mother, Margaret the daughter of Charles Barnard, headmaster of a Quaker school in Yorkshire..." Stapledon spent four years in the Friends Quaker Ambulance Corps. "Although he was involved with socialist groups and contributed some articles to leftist journals, Stapledon's earliest literary aspirations were poetic. His first book was Latter-Day Psalms, published in 1914 by Henry Young and Sons, Ltd., of Liverpool." Stapledon's writing reflected intense wrestling with concepts of God and faith.
Also: Olaf's agnosticism also derived from his parents. His father apparently subscribed to no sect at all, so any direct religious influence would therefore have had to come from his mother. She was a Unitarian... In his mature years Stapledon denied that he was a Christian, although the increasing strain of mysticism in his work from the 1940's on indicated a deep-rooted sense of religiosity.

Indeed, it has just the right pixel density. A 24" 4k display needs DPI scaling to be usable, thus reducing the "screen estate" advantage and >30" 4k displays aren't yet available with all the necessary features.

Actually, it referred to 768, as that was the number of lines that the cheap panels had. Which meant that even to display 720p content you had to scale it.
I probably should expand a bit - "mana" in the modern NZ context is a bit more fluid - you can also carry the mana of a group when you represent them (and do damage to it when you represent them poorly)

Probably "reputation" is the best pakeha (western) equivalent to the concept

Don't drones raise many ethical issues?

I'm not asking if you agree or disagree with the use of drones in wars, I'm actually asking if there is a debate going on about the use of unmanned vehicles in wars.
I thought context would make that clear, but yes you're correct.
That's why the US is developing tracked laser communication systems. They are effectively impossible to jam.
Apparently, Australias JORN (Jindalee Operational Radar Network)[1], a long-wave installation, is able to detect stealth aircraft[2] (sorry, that's the best link I could find)

> The U.S. military is always fighting the last war. In this case, they aren't even fighting the last several wars, but are still locked into Cold War, pre-drone thinking.

Where are you getting that idea? What other countries use drone warfare? As far as I can, it was the CIA that started the whole drone strike campaign, and I'm not aware of other countries that use it consistently.
Nice but... the iPad game completely took care of all my XCom cravings for quite some time. It was one of the most solid iPad games I've encountered. It's more a remake than an adaptation, and they really put in a lot of effort to bring the first XCom game into the 21st century, and it shows.

It cost £10 or so, and I never regretted a single penny of it. If you loved this game, I really recommend getting XCom on the iPad.

PS: This is not meant to take away from what these guys are doing... but watching that ancient creaky interface after being treated to the modern touch interface in the iPad game was somewhat painful. Here's a video:
Dive bomb, or just bomb?

At a certain point in the war, the utility of the fighter-bomber was very well established, the Germans even had their own name for it, Jäger-Bomber I think it was, or Jabo. (I'd recommend the Wikipedia article, but it claims the P-38 was a poor fighter (!!!)).

In general Nazi procurement was extremely subpar at this level. One might think Arthur C. Clarke's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superiority_(short_story) was based on them.
> By default Emacs is passable Elisp IDE and nothing more, really.

To my eye, that's a bit of an overstatement. I used a mostly unconfigured Emacs for years to write C, Lisp, and Scheme and found it to be quite suitable.

My approach to customizing it has largely been to identify pain points and then work to find low impact ways of working around them. At first, it was relatively simple things like binding filename extensions to modes and tweaking buffer coloring. Later on, I realized that I wasn't using any of the GUI widgets (toolbar, menubar, and scrollbar) and disabled them entirely. That was shortly followed by an OSX recompile that added a full screen mode, prior to OSX having the feature natively.

I've done some larger scale customizations too, but those tend to be shorter lived and focused on specific projects. When I ran more on Windows, I had cygwin enhancements running in Emacs. I'm doing more Oracle these days, so I have SQLPlus mode linked in. I also work with Clojure mode (essential) and js2-mode (nice, but I could live without it). Because I use git, I tried magit mode, found it to be slow and cumbersome, and switched back to the git command line.

The two longer-term customizations I've found to be useful are a enhancement to org-mode that I wrote to keep a personal notebook/wiki, and a simple elisp wrapper I wrote around Maven for building Java projects. I wrote these to address specific common use cases in my work flow, and as I find pain points, I try to find cheap and easy ways to file them down. Honestly, I tend to keep the customization code as simple as I can, because I'd really like to spend as much of my time on 'real work' as I can, and the editor is just a means to that end.

If you're interested to see what that looks like in Emacs Lisp terms, I've maintain my .emacs here for the last few years. (Prior to github, I just copied the files around, which was as painful as it sounds.)

> Its main strength lies in how easy it is to extend and customize it.

Agreed, but for me, the brilliance is that it makes it easy to write small customizations that are still quite powerful. Eclipse is fully extendable in theory, but the barrier to entry is high due to the complexity. While Emacs does support a lot of that kind of 'big' customization, it also makes it easy to gain small point victories with small amounts of code and complexity.

Another quick example of this is that about ten years ago I was writing a small unit test library for a scheme system I was developing. I really wanted the ability to jump to the source of the failing tests. Getting this done in Emacs was as simple as modifying the format of the test failure messages to match one of Emacs' compile error message formats. Then, the 'next-error' function just did what it should. It took an hour or two of effort and a half dozen lines of code to make a huge difference in my daily productivity at the time.
It would be great for videos to default to a permissive license, but I don't see how that would change anything fundamentally with regard to copyright problems.

You'd still have to deal with people uploading whatever they want, and so you'd still have to deal with DMCA takedowns, and you'd still have to deal with the vast gray area of fair use (remixes, snippets of songs playing in the background, parody and comedy, etc).
Then this document should not be called a "scientific paper" or/and should never be published.
We have had drones that do exactly this for a long time. They're called SAM's.
I reread what I wrote, and I don't see where I advocated paying yourself nothing.

If you have $5+m in the bank, you're probably post-A, which means you have the funding to pay the founding team salaries, perhaps below market.

If you have 5m in the bank and you're paying yourself 200k a year, I sincerely question the logic of the board, and the CEO. That extra $80-100k can go to hire another person.

What is going to benefit the company more?
You're looking for an agent essentially who will be getting a portion of your earnings, though you won't be truly paying for the service the agent provided (the company will). I've written about this twice (1,2), inspired by a piece here on HN, as a potential solution for the problems in contingency recruiting, but with fees being paid by candidates. That is the key differentiator to that agent model - the job seeker, not the company, foots the bill.

Would you pay say 2-5% of your annual salary to a recruiter/agent every year? Even in years that you aren't actively looking for a job?

These are interesting questions if you think the recruiter can find you good jobs that you might not find on your own, can provide solid career advice, and negotiate salaries that are higher than what you might receive otherwise. If I can negotiate a 5% higher salary than you every time, paying me 2% every year is a pretty easy decision. Most technologists probably trust that they are as good at (or even better) negotiators than most recruiters, and in many cases they may be correct.

In the video Sprey critisizes the F-15, which is not unsurprising considering the history of him going off and designing the F-16. But isn't the F-15 regarded as a great aircraft? It costs nearly double, but has a good record and capabilities, and is perhaps better than the F-16 at everything but slow dogfighting.
I'm ok with that. But I guess that "data collection" documents don't count towards academia points.
I wouldn't trust an autonomous drone in many environments, but air warfare is pretty friendly to AI. And while humans are limited to 9 Gs of acceleration drone aircraft that can turn much more rapidly can and have been built. In the future I expect we'll see gaggles of drone fighters overseen but not piloted from a AWACs far back but still within visual range.
Speaking of "exotic experiences" overseas travel is another over-done fixation of the modern yuppie. "What weird place have you been doing something weird?" is apparently how you size up the Joneses these days.

They'll blather on about how some trip expanded their mind and so forth, despite not speaking any of the language or knowing anything of the history and only being there briefly.

Extended the melody & progression a bit. I'm so proud, this is awesome!
I have it but on Windows with no scaling. I paid around $500. 39" is a bit large for a single monitor, in my opinion, since looking towards the corners or edges becomes such a long look. 30hz for the 4K is annoying but livable.
Why I Charge for my Mobile App
Someone managed to put enough thrust on the thing, such that the design couldn't get too ruined. The F-15 has enough thrust to fly a brick! One landed safely with a wing torn off by a mid-air collision.
I wonder if someone's trying to make semi-autonomous drones controlled by optical links or very directional radio links.

It is more complicated than "LOL LONG WAVE RADAR I WIN".

"The other problem that the defender must contend with is the fact that the L-band and most parts of the S-band have radar resolution cells that are too large to provide a weapons quality track. Effectively, even if a defender can detect and track an attacking stealthy fighter, that defender may not be able to guide a missile onto that target.

That being said, both the SPY-1 and the forthcoming Raytheon Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) operate in higher frequency portions of the S-band and are able to generate weapons quality tracks. If the Chinese system is similar—and there are indications that it is—it could generate fire-control quality guidance for the HQ-9B missiles."

Stealth provides some ability to evade however the most modern systems that are getting rolled out in the next 5 years are going to able to track a F-35 and engage it without significant hardship.

Stealth at this point is really just another layer of defense, like decoys. It'll decrease the distance at which you can truly kill a F-35. However, at 200 million each, you can afford to build a large number of missiles & mobile SAMs to take out a F-35.

> I couldnt imagine living in a building taking an elevator to my place.

I suppose different people have different preferences. I couldn't imagine stepping out of my door and having literally nothing interesting (not even a grocery store or coffee shop!) in walking distance. Or rather, I can imagine it, because I grew up in suburbia, but I can't imagine wanting to move back. Just feels way too isolated being so far from everything and unable to do even the simplest things without driving.

Of course, I don't personally take the elevator, rather the stairs, because my building has no elevator. :D
One problem is that they aren't in my area (downtown Atlanta). If after 18 years, they still haven't gotten here, then it is a safe bet they aren't coming. On the other hand, Instacart has emailed us, telling us they are going to start serving Atlanta in the near future. They are hiring people in Atlanta, so I'm gonna say it IS a safe bet Instacart will be operating in Atlanta.

So, different from Peapod? yes. "iconic"? He really only said "on its way to becoming iconic." Who knows, I think the guy is just trying to say something shocking. Nobody can predict markets that well. Not even Gary Tan. Amazon Fresh is coming to Atlanta soon too, so we will see.

Nitpick: you mean a small grain of salt.

"Take it with a grain of salt" basically means "take it in a very small quantity", i.e., don't buy much into it.

If you say "large grain of salt", you're saying "take more of it", which has the opposite meaning from what you intended.

Sorry. I'll crawl back into my hole now.

Yes, but the excellent F-15 was a synthesis between the ideas of the Figher Mafia[1] which Sprey represents and the more technocratic elements of the Air Force. By contrast, the F-35 seems to be an example of the worst excesses of the later.

The very fastest fastballs are ~100 MPH. So 260 is not 'a little less than you can throw it', what will happen is that it will get dislodged on one corner, do a partial spin and then come flying at you (if it doesn't break up before that).

I'd really hate to be hit with anything at 260 MPH, especially not with a phone. Those things are hard!

An Om question: what do you store in the app state and what do you store in component local state?

In my own application, I started off storing everything in app state, using local state only for short-lived transient data, but over time I found that having a bunch of information like what tab is currently visible in the app state became difficult to manage and made the app state a nightmare. So now I like to keep a strict separation: app state is basically my model - the data being processed (if I were writing a text editor, its the document being edited) and local state is everything else: which dialog is open, which tab is selected, button toggle state, mouse state etc (in a text editor, whether bold is selected, whether I'm in print preview mode or edit mode, etc). Basically app state is what is being processed and local state is how to process or display it. This separation also means that the app state is what gets synced with the server. I like to think of it as "if its something I might want to persist in the database, then it lives in app state, if its something I would never want in the database, then it lives in local state"

I'm curious what other peoples experience with this is.

Another Om question: how do you sync state between client and server, or how do you handle communication?

I looked at how om-sync does this (using tx-listen to automatically sync changes), but ended up building a more traditional request/response model using sente[0] and having my app ask for sub-trees of my app state as needed. Again, just wondering about peoples experience with this and different approaches tried.

Malaysian MH370: Inmarsat confident on crash 'hotspot'
An explanation could be that Nokia, at the time, did not have the keys anymore. A scenario could be that they kept their top level signing key printed on paper in a vault (not that problematic, as your top level key should be used very rarely), and that paper somehow got stolen.

If that were the case, they didn't buy the promise the evil doers wouldn't use the keys, but the ability to start using it themselves again. They still would have to phase out the compromised master key real soon, but that might be easier to do if one has it in hand.

Disclaimer: I know to little about key management to know whether the above makes sense. In particular, I doubt that having your compromised key makes any difference in the difficulty of phasing it out.

The F-15 was always a bastard child in his eyes, but he's still a large part of the reason it was so awesome.
I'm guessing this is an outgrowth of modern management practices that explicitly do not value engineering experience and believe "process" will produce the desired result.

People are interchangeable, there is no institutional knowledge, and management can solve all technical issues.
You think the US won't buy them? Our military bought and paid for hundreds of F-111s, the last plane we designed to do everything for everyone, with the result that it wasn't useful anyplace. (Yes, we've tried this trick before.) And that was in the 1960s and '70s; if anything, the military procurement process has gotten a whole lot more corrupt.
I'm real curious about the potential interplay between core.async and om/react. Bruce Hauman has a great tutorial on using core.async channels (as opposed to event callbacks) to process user input and gestures.[1] David Nolen (creator of Om) also covered core.async.[2] But these tutorials pre-date Om; core.async came to clojurescript in summer 2013, Om wasn't released until 2014.

I guess the way React handles input is by attaching event handlers to child components, so that changes to the child properties bubble up to the root component state. Is this the optimal pattern for handling events in a React app? Or is there an advantage to be gained by using core.async channels to process event input for Om/react?

I haven't seen any examples which use both core.async and Om/react, but I'm very curious about the possibility.

Although in all fairness it must be pointed out the Air Force put it's thumb on the scales, you might say.

The original F-16 concept included a thrust to weight ratio > 1, like the F-15's, plus 20 minutes of supercruise (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercruise which we've only achieved lately with the F-22). Sufficiently strict requirements with the low weight and low(ish) cost that it e.g. sacrificed night and all-weather capability.

The Air Force wasn't interested in such a bird, but they were interested in a fighter-bomber based on it, which e.g. required serious additions to the frame and cost it the super high performance.

But in an AU perhaps the original F-16 would have turned out to be a magnificent fighter.
