It is an argument that is effective in getting opponents of drug legalization to see an upside, though. The sort of person that tends to be in favor of prohibition and jailing of violators would likely respond to an appeal to the jailed with something along the lines of "well, then how would we keep those dangerous criminals off our streets?"

There is very much a stigma among many baby boomers that drug users are violent, dangerous criminals who need to be locked away for their own good and ours (it's hilariously sad how many of my parents' friends casually equate pot usage with CSI-style psychopathic crackheads). The idea that they could be allowed to use without consequence is horrifying to them.

However, "Yeah, this can fix your tax revenue problem" is a difficult upside to argue against; at that point, it's an argument of downsides vs upsides, rather than an argument about the virtue of taxing sales.

Keplar Agency - Amsterdam, Netherlands - Full time Ruby developer

Keplar Agency is looking for a full time or freelance Ruby on Rails developer and/or trainee. We make a lot of sites for large events such as “A State of Trance” and “I Am Hardwell”, and also sites like "Max Havelaaar". When we're not working on that we build our own projects.

We work with modern tools common to the Ruby community and never stop looking forward to improve our workshop. We're small team now, but we’re expanding to take on new projects and also setup our own apps.

For more information take a look at: http://keplaragency.com/jobs/ruby_developer and http://keplaragency.com/jobs/ruby_traineeship. And you can contact us at jobs@keplar.nl

Let me know if you’re interested in either position. You can also contact me if you want to know more! (jobs@keplar.nl, mention Tom)

> I don't really need a photo organizing app, what I need is a photo metadata app.

I completely agree. I also liked flickr's system, but I left a year or two ago, after deciding I would rather not put my photos on someone else's server. I would love a good desktop metadata system that felt like it would be long-lived and widely useable. gthumb and darktable both have tagging capabilities, for example, but I have not gotten the sense that either of their systems are worth going back and tagging the past 10+ years of photos I have taken. A great metadata system would have me doing that.
I got the exact opposite of that (or I'm misunderstanding you).. The title of the story on reddit is:

> "Please remove mitsuhiko/* (This guy is complaining about tip4commit, please help educate about Bitcoin)"

and the mod writes:

> "You are not allowed to incite brigading. Please resubmit using the original source - the github link. You are part of the problem of why people hate our community"

Seems like the mod is reprimanding the submitter of the story for the "please help educate about Bitcoin" part of the submission (which is inciting brigading).

I don't think parent post was saying that you should skip visiting your kids in the ER.

And I found nothing in that UN doc to support your claims either.
Imagine yourself having reached the 'success' you are currently pursuing. Imagine how much you will have to sacrifice in order to reach it.
It certainly gives a thrill reaching the goals you set in you life. But there is one big question you have to ask yourself: what will you do after you have reached your success? Do you think you will be different? Do you think you will be happier? I can give you the answer: after reaching your goals, you will still be the same person as before, and you will still be as (un)happy as before. But you will have 1 extra question on your mind: why am I not happier now that I have reached my goals?

I hope you play games, because my answer is this: life is like a video game, it gives a thrill when winning it, but the real joy comes from playing it.

Enjoy your time at work, and enjoy the time you spend with your girlfriend. Your personal success is not measured by reaching some goal, but it's measured by how much fun you're having in your life (and yes, work should be fun, but spending time with your girlfriend should also be).

Sorry that I didn't gave a practical answer, but I hope it helps.
First, I wouldn't get relationship advice from HN, or any pool of nerds. There's a reason our relationships suffer or are few and far between: nerd personalities will spend more time coding at work, trying to build a side project, watch TV or play games than being a healthy, balanced human being.

I work 40 hours a week. If I have work shit poking into my life beyond that on a regular basis, it's time to talk to my manager.

Don't lose your life to sitting on a computer coding. You can write software (or whatever you do) until you die, but you can't get back time lost, moments, relationships, friends and family.

As hokey as it may sound, and as often as I had people around me warning me about this, it took me awhile to figure it out. Sadly, it will take many nerds a long time to figure out and I'm convinced most never do.

When I die, I don't want my only memories to be coding on my laptop at home. There's so much more to try out and discover. Art, music, people, cooking, travel, whatever. IDK. Find some stuff and do more of it.

It's rather odd.
I would also add that perhaps it's time to reconsider your goals. If you're working a ton, or on a startup or side project or whatever, maybe that's not going to give you what you want and maybe it's time to let go. It's hard, but you can do it.
The TN visa is arbitrary and random. You are at the whim of an uneducated border officer, who gets to unanimously decide on whether you get to work in the US or not. Furthermore, its renewal is also at the whims of said officer. You better hope he's in a good mood, or you can say goodbye to GoogFaceMicroZon!

Try explaining to them why you have a degree in Electrical Engineering but work as a Data Scientist. My friend tried, and it would be funny if it didn't almost cost him his job. He literally got in due to a shred of mercy caused by his girlfriend's tears at the possibility of a refused visa.

The USA sometimes feels like a dystopian nightmare, mainly populated with idiotic yes-men and ruled by Machiavellian bureaucrats. There are a few niche ecosystems that are impressive, but they are by far the minority.

Take Edward Bernays — "the father of (modern) public relations". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays)

His book Propaganda starts with: "THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country." (http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/bernprop.html)

So when Adam Curtis writes documentaries on people like him, he may sound to some like a conspiracy theorist, because that's how some of the profiled creeps themselves sound. (But of course, "conspiracy theorist" is often misused to throw muck at people who focus on structural analysis.)

>>Who said anything about ethics? Corporations accepting Bitcoin is evidence of its usefulness.

I don't buy that either. The only thing it is an evidence of is that said corporations want to attract customers of a specific demographic. Overstock.com CEO himself is a libertarian, for example. If it wasn't for him I strongly doubt they would have implemented Bitcoin payments on their site.

I mean, if Bitcoin is so useful, why have sites that have implemented it have done a miniscule if not virtually negligible amount of sales through it?

Ask HN: Should we give up and work on something else?
With 4 other friends we were working for past 3 months on an app, which you can describe as "tinder for clothes". We were planning to launch MVP today but it will be delayed by couple weeks. We were targeting UK market.

Today we found out that in last weeks identical app was launched in Singapore (shopprapp.com). The team there is already funded and is clearly couple months ahead of us.

We started to raise money from Friends & Family and planned to work on our project. But know we realised we are couple months behind them and we are really unsure if we can face such a competition. Even if we want to face them, we cannot do that without raising more money then we initially thought. Shall we give up and start working on something else?
I'm not sure what it is either. But I did just start really consuming podcasts this year, so I am a member of the consumption side of this Renaissance, even if I have no insight to the systemic patterns that caused it.

I don't understand your anger.

The OP was asking what to do when these are a given:

1. You work hard and long hours and you enjoy it.
2. You also NEED to spend time with family who already perceive that you are not spending enough time with them.

What do you do?

My response was to this scenario and this scenario alone. How to "balance" that. Your response on the other hand assumes that that you can impose (or have the right to suggest) fundamental compromises on an individual's life-style.

The article only anecdotally makes the claim that there was a downturn in podcast quality and listenership. I doubt that this actually happened. Instead podcasting has slowly been bubbling away and has now really broken through to be a more mainstream activity since it is a lot easier. I certainly never stopped listening to podcasts. We used to have to sync podcasts manually over USB to our iPods. Now we can download or stream them on the go with our smartphones and send them to the cars sound system via Bluetooth. Technology has gotten incrementally better until we reached now, where podcasting has become really easy.
>[gold has] durability, portability, uniformity and divisibility.

You could argue bitcoin effectively has those qualities too. It also has a cost to mine which may peg its cost in the same way that the cost to mine gold does its.

The thing that worries me about bitcoin as an investment is it can be replaced easily by dogecoin or whatever-coin with basically the same properties whereas there is nothing else quite like gold.

I read that article last night and was wondering if someone here was going to point out how the 12m figure is made up.

Were there compromised sites? Sure, but I would be surprised if it were more than an order of magnitude less than what the bbc reported. That is still a lot of sites, but not a monumental cluster-fsck that the aftermath is being made out to be.
Here's the thing. It's not a matter of whether Meredith Perry is smart or not by conventional standards and metrics, because ANY idea that hasn't been proven wrong is worth trying.

It's an interesting project for a student to try. Perry would learn loads getting her hands into a subject like ultrasound and learning about how to make the regulations in place to protect living organisms work with the engineering. This is an issue of scale. UBeam is doing a proof-of-concept experiment that should take about $10k (and that is very generous) to test and explore, not $10M, ffs.

That's where the beef is. Let's not look to personally assassinate Perry or her investors. What Danny wrote about was an issue that's endemic in today's investment world, where you can invest in whatever you want, and if convenience/consumer apps, devices, and their ilk are where you decide profit is, then have at it, but you're still limited by the laws of physics and how the technology you're working with interacts with living organisms.

(Because that's what we are. We are not disembodied heads.)
You will always have competition. If not now, then later. Likewise, if you have a good product then you will always have customers. You can not focus just on what other people are doing. If you care and believe in the project, then focus on what you are going to do to make people want to use the product.

Resume: http://lnkd.in/ce4jDq

Email: abe.burnett@gmail.com

Perhaps my posting is a little atypical for Hacker News, but I'm looking for a position as a Data/Business Analyst or something similar. Although, truthfully, I'm open to new opportunities which I haven't considered. I'm very good with people and technology, so any position which taps those strengths is likely to be a good fit. In college I studied economics and supplemented with additional statistics, math, and programming (in Java and Python). Since college I've worked for two banks as a Credit Risk Analyst (which is basically what a bank calls a Data Analyst), and as a Data Migration Specialist for a small startup. I've become quite proficient solving problems using Excel and Access (including all the bells and whistles: VBA, Macros, SQL, formulas, pivot tables/charts, etc.). Though it's been a while since I used SAS, I was quite proficient with it in a prior position.

What can I do? I can analyze data (including extracting data and working with it until the point it can be analyzed), document and manage processes, transform data from one form to another (wide to long, for example), and more. Please see my resume on LinkedIn for more detail.
Understanding doesn't add any hours to the day. So you're not seeing much of each other, and don't yet resent it. But its easy for that to start happening. And I don't know any cure other than 'spend more time together' which means working fewer hours.
No, it's not quite that simple: there's a three-way tradeoff between _n_, power, and _p_ - you can tradeoff one to save on another. So the 10/10 will be suspicious depending on the specific values of _n_, power, and _p_.

However, usually psychology will always use a p<0.05, so that variable is fixed in advance, and they almost never use big enough _n_ for funding & convenience so you can safely assume _n_ will be 'too small'; with those two variable set, that implies that usually the power will be very small, like 10-50%/0.1-0.5, and then 10/10 would indeed be very suspicious (0.5^10 = a small number; if you flip a fair coin 10 times, it's not often you'll get 10 heads).
I can't find a "New deck" button anywhere. Is it because I'm not logged in? If so, why not? I should be able to do this while logged out.
