Actually, "faraway" is a whole word, used as an adjective as a location, e.g. "exotic faraway places".

I feel you wouldn't use it for actual locations, though, e.g. "it was too far away from me".

That kind of trait doesn't just come out of the blue - there always is some form of selection pressure involved. Most likely caused by us in some way. That's why we need to step in. But yes, ideally at the point that causes this selection pressure to exist in the first place.

"one's visual field steadily contracts"

This sounds like tunnel vision. I get that when I'm not feeling well (for example, some kind of gut disturbance).
But what then when you fix a typo in your English text? Or slightly rephrase it without altering the meaning? This means the translation files have to be updated as well.
I actually created an account since I think I'm the younger version of you and I think your experience could help me. I'm in my final year of an undergraduate law degree, but I've worked in various programming jobs during my studies.

Did you go into a law firm right away after you finished studying? Or did you do some more contract work on the side first? How did you frame your experience in programming as useful to the firm that you worked at? How does it help you now?

I guess I'm asking because I'm somewhat at a crossroads with what to do with my life. I'm certainly feeling the current from law school trying to push me into firm work, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. I always wanted to do a startup around an idea I've been working on for a few years now and maybe travel around and pick up a few languages.

The type of work you do sounds really appealing to me, but I don't know if I can launch into it right away out of my studies.

It makes it infinitely more difficult when the population is armed. It's a silly argument to say that the 2nd Amendment isn't about preventing an oppressive government because the government has tanks and fighter jets. Unless they decide to indiscriminately kill large populations, armed citizens are going to become insurgents and it will become a brutal battle.

Good article. However if your adversary is a three or four letter agency then by all accounts it seems that PGP/GPG still does work. Snowden and Greenwald used it, apparently successfully after some tuition.

The article also doesn't mention Bitmessage, which addresses a lot of the concerns. Bitmessage isn't forward secret though.

Not by the fact we have a blind spot, but how, like in the article it's not a black zone, but really the absence of any input that the brain tries to fill in. Now I'm curious to test how the brain interpolate on this area, like trying to put different background color or texture on each side of the blindspot.

Every company has a roadmap and a right to run it as they please. I believe that platform vendors also have a different and more weighty responsibility though: To be good stewards of how their platform evolves. This is something that Microsoft knows really well because they've pushed a lot of different platforms -- and where you can argue that they've done extremely well in come cases.

Now, we've all been berating Microsoft for making a crappy browser and that's all fun and stuff. But the main success criteria as a platform provider is not whether you're keeping the software updated, but whether you're keeping the platform vibrant. So while everybody's dancing on the (18 months in the future) grave of IE8 I believe we're keeping Microsoft up on the wrong promise. Deprecating IE8 is about removing software, not about keeping the web platform vibrant.

So I took offense with the PR-ness of it all. Microsoft has a right to neglect users by not providing an upgrade path away from IE8 and IE9 -- but if that's their choice they shouldn't get to brag about it.
> There were actual, real, violent outbursts. If you put yourself in the shoes of a police officer, you might understand the police' reluctance to stand up to a potentially armed and certainly aggressive mob without any protective gear, and in completely standard police cars.

That all sounds perfectly fine, reasonable.

But why are they kitted out like stormtroopers? South Korea has much, much better organised political protesters/rioters and their Combat Police[0] are much, much better at their job than it looks like the US equivalent are, and all they've got is standard riot police kevlar armour, clear plastic shields and the helmets. Note that they don't look like troops occupying enemy territory either[1].

I can't see any justification for local police forces having military vehicles, and I think the optics of police in camo are hideous, unless that is actually the message you want to send of course.

I realise that the USA is legitimately exceptional in the number of guns floating around, illegal and legal, and that it is far, far more violent than any other first world country, for whites and blacks but why the shoddy police militarisation? You're not Mexico, there are no gangs as organised and competent as the Mafia who go toe to toe with the police.

And if a paramilitary force is needed, why doesn't each state have 100 full-time SWAT guys (or more, I really have no idea how many New York or California need.) and 400 guys who are cross trained? If you need more than 500 men with machine guns, it's time to call the National Guard.

Don't miss the very interesting historical perspective in the middle of the article:

> Arming the force would, say opponents, undermine the principle of policing by consent - the notion that the force owes its primary duty to the public, rather than to the state, as in other countries.

> This owes much to the historical foundations of British criminal justice, says Peter Waddington, professor of social policy at the University of Wolverhampton.

> "A great deal of what we take as normal about policing was set out in the early 19th Century," he says.

> "When Robert Peel formed the Metropolitan Police there was a very strong fear of the military - the masses feared the new force would be oppressive."

> A force that did not routinely carry firearms - and wore blue rather than red, which was associated with the infantry - was part of this effort to distinguish the early "Peelers" from the Army, Waddington says.

That's widely different from the Robocop mentality at play in the States (from what I can tell from the article).

Having congenital Glaucoma, I've always had to live with the possibility of one day being blind. My left eye is already pretty much there.

What has always fascinated me about sight is how our brains augment and outright invent things you think you see with your eyes. It's not at all about believing what you see, but about seeing what you believe.

The Glaucoma has steadily been eating away at my retina and optic nerves over the many years. Causing blind spots to form all over my visual field. In daily life, I can't see those spots. As in, there are not actually black holes in the images I perceive. The brain somehow manages to fill in those gaps with visual information directly surrounding those gaps and combine it with what my experiences/memories tell me should be there.

It's only when I start concentrating on really small details, that these holes become apparent. Particularly when looking at small LED lights in a dark environment. The LED keeps disappearing and reappearing as I slowly turn my head in various directions. Everybody has a single blind spot like this in the center of their visual field which behaves in the same way. Imagine this, but multiplied over 60 - 80% of your visual field.

Additionally, my almost-blind left eye has caused me to lose depth perception all together. This means those fancy stereoscopic 3D things are pointless to me and one would expect I would have a hard time in traffic. Not being able to judge the distance to an oncoming car can be deadly. But again, the brain seems to draw on its memories and years of experience and somehow manages to account for the lack of depth perception. It's not perfect, but enough to cope in daily life and safely move from A to B. At least on foot, that is. I am not allowed to drive a car for obvious reasons. A moped is technically permitted, but I don't. It moves too fast for me to accurately judge my surroundings in time. The same even goes for a bicycle. I only ride those in daylight. Not at night.

As far as blindness goes, I've had this once. As a kid, I fell out of a tree and landed flat on my back. For the following 45 minutes I was completely blind. It freaked me out to no end, as I was terrified it would not go away. Luckily it did. Not looking forward to that again!
Apparently they get it for free or almost for free because the US army has to much surplus equipment. See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2527699/California-p... So who can blame them for wanting to play with their new toys? Of course maintenance can't be cheap on a vehicle like that.

Is there a race debate? Many cultures simply feature weird -isms like racism. Racism is designed to divide people using bizarre theories, in order to justify institutions of societal control, violence and inequality. (There may be debaters arguing about it, but the existence of flat-earthers doesn't make "round-earth debate" a serious one.)

Just like sexism is used to divide people using gender as leverage. That's how women were men's property and unable to vote, men dominate various professions and get away with workplace harassment, etc.

(For what it's worth, "Redneck" is regionalist and probably classist. No need for such pejoratives.)
Also, that it's pretty clear that they were only able to do so because they had limited technical knowledge of email: to someone who runs a mail server, the idea of email not getting further than 500 miles is ridiculous and absurd. To someone not used to it, not so much...

i wonder why google (or mozilla) do not add something like a "less secure" root CA service where everybody can get a ssl cert for free (after showing control over the domain).

this would degrade the annoying message to a simple warning and probably make lots of hobbyist websites use only ssl.

(if you have to choose between annoy your user or just using plain http i guess many choose the later.)
There's an analogy I like to bring up. I don't remember where I heard it, but It would be great to find a better articulation, but here it goes.

Gregor Mendel is called "father of modern genetics" for his work on plant hybridization and discoveries in the area of hereditary traits. He's called that because he described "invisible factors" producing "traits." We would now say that he discovered genes and their expression.

Around the same time Charles Darwin produced his great works on evolution. He was also essentially relying on invisible factors inherited from previous generations producing discernible traits in subsequent generations. He went beyond that and hypothesized about how constant sexual and natural selection would allow certain traits to be more common in the species as a whole.

Both of these men were essentially studying and describing genes, geneplexes & DNA. But, DNA was unknown to them. They knew that traits are handed down from one generation to another. But, if you asked them what the physical form of these traits was, they would have no answer.

DNA & Genes were not observable to them. They had placeholders in their mind. I guess they new that the seed produced by the parent plant contained the traits, but they might have also used "spirit" or "essence" as their placeholder.

We are at this stage when it comes to cognition. We don't know what a thought, memory or emotion looks like. We don't know what their physical form is. We know it has something to do with neurons and the brain, but we don't really know the how and what.

There is an obvious hole in our knowledge. It' missing in discussions like this.

Tuning is one thing. What if you have a lot of business logic in a few ten or hundred thousands of lines of PL/SQL. What will it cost you to rewrite that in Pg/SQL or T-SQL?
One factor I would guess is that companies want control of the data their app is sending, so they can data mine it. Easy if everything is going via a central server, and looks legitimate. P2P will specifically have to "phone home" to do this and makes the data mining element obvious.

The real estate investment options in India have been favored by all because the federal government has been pliable in establishing out the procedures about the residential stories for sale as property investment and repatriation.

Ask HN: Do you recognize this problem? Ownership of Business Rules
Dear HN,

In the spirit of failing early, I'd like to ask you for some feedback to see if a problem we've been facing quite a while at a small ISP also applies in other companies. A first check to see if this idea is viable.

As an ISP we deliver different flavors of internet and value added services. We have multiple brands, each with their own proposition, discounts, region specific value added services, etc.

To capture these business rules we've built a domain-specific business rule engine as a service. A serious omission however was leaving out the maintenance part, so every change to a proposition requires configuration effort from a developer.

I was wondering how general this problem is. From my perspective the essence boils down to operations on sets combined with some decision making logic, and could therefore be applicable in many contexts.

Would you be willing to pay for a solution that gives non-programmers (e.g. a Marketing & Sales department) the ability to configure the product portfolio using custom rules?

Some further characteristics about the solution:

- Developers will be able to configure their own API

- Configuration (changes) should be tested as well [0]

- Rules can be applied in a specific time frame (e.g. a customer registered two weeks ago) and are versioned.

I'm very interested in your take on this and welcome any feedback, advice, requirements, etc.

Thanks!

Well, given the fact that he chose to commit an egregious crime, one sure to be condemned if discovered, he should have exercised better judgment about how he carried out his plan.

My point is that understanding human behavior requires us to try to imagine the thoughts of other people, in advance of making personal moral judgments.

Well, it did involve people with the job title "geostatistician".
I would start with small shell scripts (or the Windows equivalent).

Do you need to add users and set their initial password often? Note the commands needed, put them in a shell script and create a user with your script next time. Then make your script accept parameters and handle errors.

Automation has two main benefits: Simplifying repetitive tasks and reducing errors - and this can be achieved even with the simplest shell script.

For popular tools, you can take a look and Puppet and/or Chef, tools for provisioning servers and managing configurations.
Fertilizing dust: from Sahara to Amazon forest
Without maths, I don't think there is. QM starts with the Schrödinger equation -- which allows you to find a wave function -- followed by Born's Rule, which is a statistical interpretation of the wave function. There are questions of interpretation even at this point. Schrödinger himself was skeptical of his own equation[0]!

The classic intro text is Griffiths', Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. But it's a mathematical treatment -- as it has to be -- although it might be readable by accepting the key equations as axioms and reading the text. A smart, determined person would get something out of that, but I don't know how much. After all, QM is notoriously difficult to understand even by the super-smart, mathematically adept folk.

I'm not sure that a pop-sci book could convey sufficient detail to allow someone to follow many QM debates, even the philosophical debates; there is just too much background required -- which I am not claiming I possess; still learning.

Personally, I think QM is in the process of building an ever increasing body of information. The distillation of knowledge is yet to come. It's a hell of a trip, though.

I think the pertinent facts for you right now is the level of mercury that you have in your body that seem (or might be) clouding your perceptions, locking you into rigid thoughts and even filling you with false accusations.

Have you done any testing or mercury chelation? From my understanding, the mercury stays in the body for a very long time and is difficult to detect in typical tests for it. Are you running a mercury-free clinic?

"The mercury content in all biological material was significantly higher in the dental workers than in the control population (p<0.0001). The geometric mean and 90th percentile mercury concentrations in the urine samples from dentists were 1.7 and 7.3 micromol mol(-1) creatinine, respectively, with only one sample having a value at around the UK's Health and Safety Executive biological monitoring health guidance level of 20 micromol mol(-1) creatinine."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15204310

So my tip is to address the issue of mercury as it is a potent neurotoxin (it completely stops neuronal growth, and kills brains cells), and dentists have been huge perpetrators of the spread of this element into people's bodies and environment for a very long time. Wouldn't you agree? Don't you feel responsible for this?

Please feel free not to sign your name again, you can put it in your profile description.. why not give it a try? And I say go get yourself checked for a superiority complex (given you've said I have an inferiority complex.)
