I'm sure CBT has been used with cancer patients, but pain management is not the heart of what CBT is about: http://www.beckinstitute.org/cognitive-behavioral-therapy/#q...

CBT is however about fixing negative thought patterns. Start of chapter 3 of Feeling Good (I just pulled open the pdf) Burns says 'Illogical pessimistic attitudes play the central role in the development and continuation of all your symptoms'

I don't think I myself have posted about this before, and just did a search. Hacker news does seem to be often dismissive of the psych field though, as there is not a lot of good science that would appease a critical thinker.

NOBODY wants Google SPYGlass!
Everytime I read about tech like this I cant help but wonder What kind of mainboard does this run? What CPU? What temp spec? what OS does it run? What is the main laguage? Would it use open source code?

Anyone has a clue or educated guess?

edit thanks to all answers provided, exactly the info I was looking for! And very interesting as well.
Perhaps OT, but a smallish successful US startup is nearly half-owned by the government due to taxes due post-acquisition. That's anything in the $1MM - $10MM range... beyond which you can afford to spend more on lawyers to spend much less on taxes.

It definitely does enter into the equation... do I really want to take all that personal risk when a silent partner actually owns half the company?
>It's well documented that the technical debt you accumulate from prototyping and supporting only one platform is extremely significant; to the point where many people never go back and fix / rework / remake products.

Maybe in GUI applications, but not so much in web browser applications.

>If you plan to support cross platform, do so from the start.

You are already close to automatically supporting all platforms. The point of "not supporting" a browser, is to avoid tedious and time consuming testing of said browser, because CSS and JS works differently in every browser (although close to the same in webkit browsers like chrome and safari).

>I've literally only ever heard this sort of ridiculous rhetoric from people who've never suffered through retroactively having to go back and support additional platforms.

Again, your arguments might apply to a OS application, but not to web browser "applications".

Generally, I also subscribe to the mindset of: make it right for one OS. Instead of: make it shit for all OSs, but usable.

Finally. Going out of your way to support platforms that _might_ be used, for an application that you don't really know if people will use in the first hand, is absolutely idiotic.

You need to know how, why and if people actually will use it, before spending time and money on supporting multiple platforms/browsers.

Just to finish of,

>I've literally only ever heard this sort of ridiculous rhetoric from people who've never suffered through...

I've literally only heard this from people that have never developed for multiple platforms, and expect that "once it works on X, it must work on Y". It just isn't so. Implementations, however neat, always differ in GUI-land.

In a perfect world, publishers would do what they did in the past, i.e. contribute to giving feedback on the contents and the title, proof-reading and copy-editing, making the cover, taking some financial risk by printing the book, distributing it to a pre-existing network of bookstores, sending it to book reviewers prior to releasing it, and promoting it.

In today's world, they kind of still do that, but spend so little time, energy and money on it that it's impossible for them to even remotely justify the huge cut they take with a straight face. Innate talent left aside, whether an author wannabe's book sells well or not entirely depends on his willingness to promote it by showing up at events and bookstores.

As such, you're just as well off -- and more often than not, better off -- relying on friends for feedback and copy-editing, self-publishing an ebook, and reaching out to your audience directly through mostly online channels.

(I worked in a brick and mortar bookstore, and have been watching the situation degrade over the years ever since. Methinks that, much like the press at large, publishers only have themselves to blame.)

It's probably going to take some time for knowledge of this kind of seep into our day to day lives, but for a lark:

It's confirming evidence of the Standard Model. It's kind of like checking for your chair for a thumb tack, when you work in an office of pranksters -- if there isn't a thumb tack, was there any benefit to checking? Maybe, but you probably wouldn't say that if there was. If the standard model fell, there would be implications that we could probably engineer around up to and including utilizing nonlinear aspects of particle interactions to build computers with. But alas, it confirmed the model.

Also the standard model has implications on the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which in turn have implications on the likelihood that we get clobbered by a random piece of space rock. Of course even if we did know this to a better degree...it's unclear whether that's a benefit or not. I'm assuming for the purposes of this comment however that knowing our degree of mortality is a benefit, but ymmv.

In general, the more tangible benefits of lhc are probably going to come from stuff related to anything in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_beyond_the_Standard_Mo..., and nanoengineering efforts yet to come.

The fact is, users can engage in activity with Google spyglass which puts them at a legal liability. They can unwittingly engage in commerce, violating rules of commerce of parties they record. This makes spyglass userbase a ripe new target for lawsuits.

Record traffic in an out of a retail business? Congratulations, your analyzing commercial activity. Better watch what you do with that footage, there are rules for that.

Record something that ends up being controversial and potentially costs someone business? Congratulations, you can count on being taken to court over that.

Record something innocent and then accuse or hint that someone is doing something criminal and posted it online? Well if you didn't specifically hand over the footage of the deed in question to the authorities, then you could very likely be hit with a defamation suit.

You're just one big market for bored lawyers as a spyglass luser.

You said that emotions can be caused by a wide range of stuff and suggested that CBT might be less effective in those situations.

But it doesn't matter what causes the emotions - CBT helps people deal with negative emotion no matter how they're caused. Pain management in cancer patients is a good example where emotions are caused by something external but where CBT is still effective.

You might want to have a look through some better books or websites to get an idea of what modern CBT involves.

I worked with alot of out of touch people who instead of learning something new would rather just do what they know and keep the status quo. What made it harder was alot of these people were smart and new how to play the game to keep the work favorable to what they already know for various reasons usually contractual. People were very dug in and protective of their piece of the pie. It made collaboration difficult because everyone was seemingly an expert when in actuality they were clueless and googling like everyone else.

Much of the Rosetta data is under embargo, because the instruments were not paid for by ESA but private organisations like Max Planck Institute.

Hence the paucity of hard data released to the public; the organisations have first dibs on the data to make their money back through publications and in attracting research funding.

As an example:
http://www.mps.mpg.de/1979387/MPS-Beteiligungen_an_Rosetta

Basically, ESA provide the bus on which the science kit rides.

As an EU tax-payer I've raged against this in the past but that's just the way it is.

Mosh (https://mosh.mit.edu) uses OCB. At the time it was written, GCM implementation availability was poor: OpenSSL was just adding it upstream, so almost no end-user machines would have it for some time. Meanwhile, the OCB reference implementation looked fine, and permitted the Mosh developers not to write their own crypto.

The OCB patent grant at the time specifically required GPL, which I believe played into the decision to release Mosh under the GPL. (It now has a very wide patent grant, permitting a few options including all non-military software use, both closed and open, but GCM was already winning by then.)
As late as 12 November, the ESA's own FAQ [1] was stating that Philae's minimum mission target was one week of surface operation (powered entirely by primary batteries), with even more operational time powered by back-up batteries (themselves recharged by solar) - resulting in an expected surface operation period measured in months.

They airbrushed the FAQ on 12 November to remove mention of the minimum one week mission target, and inserted among other things '2.5 days'. [2] A diff of the two versions would probably be interesting.

Now with the lander mission prematurely ended an associated scientist is tweeting a very rosy summary [3]:

"What a perfect ending. All the science completed, data received. Primary mission successful. Well done everybody."

How can a week of carefully-planned scientific activities be 'completed' in only 2.5 days? It seems implausible.

How did the primary and secondary batteries not power the lander for the calculated one week+ of operation?

Why aren't they open about what clearly seems to be a major failure with the scientific mission?

It seems a case of intense bureaucratic / political pressure to change targets after they aren't met, and the fact scientists are participating in this is pretty disappointing.

I can't help but be skeptical that book publishing was perfect a few years ago!

Appreciate the reply, but I think you may have misunderstood the context of the request. I'm much more interested in a community of folks who produce vector drawings, not a place to collaborate with real-time sketches.

I along with a few others find the world of very deliberately considered drawings a better way to advance ideas. I wanted to discover the best way to share those concepts.

The last paragraph really blew me away:

<< By November, when Musk discussed the deal on an earnings call, he sounded exasperated with continued condemnation of the terms he had extracted from Nevada. Calling the deal a “super-good idea” for the state, he said the criticism “kind of bugs me. I thought we got an okay incentive package, given the scale, but not a super-huge one.” >>

If he honestly thinks that a $1.4 billion in tax breaks and free land is just a "okay" incentive package, it explains a lot about how he was able to ask for $500m cash upfront from the state to fund the factory.

"Books have no privileged position in the American system of law and commerce.

Talk to any businessman. He'll say he believes in the free market, but his business is special and deserves special protection.
Thank you for the useful remarks. It depends on the nature of your task, doesn't it?

In most cases, a solution relating (real-life) actors, processes and objects they handle can (and will) be described in plain text. In an Enterprise environment, this may be part of the project specification. However, the actual implementation will be specified as source code. To an extent this may even apply to purely technical projects.

In a larger team, creating this specification of a project is typically part of a project manager's job. However, in a smaller team or start-up, these roles may merge and are not as clearly defined. This is especially true, if the team is focussed on both building a product and working with (potential) customers.

And of course, it's up to you to decide whether Kozo will be useful for you once it is released. ;)
Completely agree. It is outrageous. I am researching a topic at the moment and expected to pay £20 for the privilege of viewing a paper (with work funded as you say, by the taxpayer) published in 1960.

As to the project, the cost (open to correction by all means) was 1.4 billion. Downvote if you like; evidently this is my big mistake for not understanding that facts are apparently unwelcome hereabouts. If people assume that by mentioning this sum I am necessarily disapproving of the project then they are simply wrong and indeed had not one iota of evidence to suppose that. Now I know better - 'I must not mention the cost in case something thinks I am moaning about it'.

For someone who is more of a mathematician than physicist, the following article might be of interest in this context: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/quantum/node4.html
The gist is that the state space of a multicomponent quantum mechanical system (think electrons in a metal) is given by the tensor product of the single component state spaces. As might be familiar from linear algebra, not every element in the tensor product of two vector spaces is simply a tensor product of two vectors. That's really all there is to entanglement, but unfortunately you can't explain that to a lay person.

I know what you mean, man. Lots of n00bz, ricers, and fanboiz will claim C is the fastest, most efficent lang because you can get "close to the metal" and "tweak". In reality, any code beyond trivial complexity will benefit much more greatly from algebraic rectification, which can only be done with certain languages that are amenable to formal analysis.
I take his oreo in space question and raise you the rotating oreo in space question.

You take a rapidly rotating oreo, break it in half and send the halves alway at ~c. Each experimenter asks: "Is the oreo, projected on an axis, is oriented core up or face up?"

For any axis chosen, answers will be anti-correlated, and of course the probability that they observe each is 50% (if I understood correctly, your |0>+|1>/|0>-|1> is equivalent to a 45 degree oreo decison axis).
