>> The endorphins from exercise work wonders against depression.

When I was a in fairly deep depression, the only thing which kept me sane was playing hockey and pushing my cardio to the max every time I stepped on the ice.

The rush of adrenaline and release of endorphins and making my brain engage in something other than why my life is so miserable did wonders for me.

A few years later, I was seeing a psychologist and told her about how hockey in essence saved my life. She posited the same thing. The release of endorphins and adrenaline actually help combat the depression and helped me, at least for periods of time, overcome the feelings of despair and isolation.

Also we are a nation that could only problems that needs a lot of work and are long living. We aren't good in rapidly changing things, like internet business.

Why do you want natural drugs only?

If you want natural, I would try tobacco (it can be snuff, no need to smoke, although smoking works faster). For synthesized, try moclobemide.

I met a Swedish nurse who worked in a ward where they treated young people who'd had mental breakdowns. She said the most common cause was a tough life situation. In the short term they would prescribe drugs, but ultimately their treatment was focused on changing that persons life to remove the negativity which spurned the breakdown. Whether it be encouraging them to get a new job or move out of their current living/ relationship situation.

> With that in mind, this development can only be a good thing. I wonder if it measurably speeds up scientific developments? If time and energy don't have to be spent rediscovering something, the more it can be spent on building on the existing knowledge instead.

It will be interesting to see. Though, in order to reap the benefits, time and energy needs to spent reading and familiarizing one's self with the older literature. An unfortunate result of the "publish or perish" culture of science today is the explosion in the number of papers being published. This makes it difficult to keep up with, and digest, the new results that are coming out. Given that, it may be difficult for people to add to that the older literature.

Certainly one could argue that understanding the old literature first is the correct way to go about it, but one cannot sacrifice an understanding of the recent literature. Papers can get dinged for only citing old results, which can have the unintended side-effect of suggesting: a) that particular topic is dead, as a field of study, or b) that the authors are unable to their work in the context of recent results, which shows a lack of knowledge of the field. So, keeping up with the current/recent literature is neceessary, and there are only so many hours in a day.

It is certainly no excuse for not knowing the older literature, but it is a realistic constraint on what can be expected.

Edit: I should add, the electronic access to old Astronomy articles has been of great help to me, and has resulted in my finding and reading older papers which are relevant to the work I am doing. It would have been much more difficult when the only way to read the papers was to find a physical copy of the journal.

It's unlike it because it's far easier to establish emotional connections and paint a rich world full of counter factuals. Fiction can easily establish itself as a reference point for future ideas, such as on AI.

This is only worth mentioning because it points out that there are potential downsides. It makes the real bottom line of the article more acceptable. That is, we don't need to encourage art creation, that the public isn't gaining much by having strict copyright for art.

I shop organic, typically at farmer's markets, and actively cook. I lived in Toledo for a little while and visited Detroit. While you have access to supermarkets in that part of the country the access is very poor. I ate a lot of fast food simply because fast food is within 5 min and a super market is often times 30 min. Produce is typically poor quality and imported.
Sam, Chuck designed the Novix but the Harris RTX 2000, which is very similar, was designed by others.

These are 16-bit chips (the Novix addressed 128 KB) that use dedicated stack memories, that's 3 ports to memory total. The RTX puts the stacks on chip.

The nice thing about these CPUs is they can do stack, alu, and return in parallel, interrupts are cheap, timings are predictable, and programming model is nice if you like Forth. One disadvantage of the design is that clock rate is limited. RAM fetch and instruction processing have to fit between pulses meaning RAM has to be approx twice as fast as clock.
I'm an MD who specializes in Psychiatry. Although much of this article is somewhere between a little and a lot inaccurate, the basic premise that an absurdly expensive antipsychotic is the most popular drug is alarming.

Btw. these Lists don't count unemployments.

Also the list could also mean that you guys have more super rich people. Since it's only a measurement per people. So if your rich guys will buy a lot of stuff it will get up really quickly.

With the shift in other supermarkets carrying more organic and "luxury" items like Jewel and Mariano's purchasing Dominick's locations and building stores that carry a wide range of organic to normal shelf items, Whole Foods isn't the high end gem it once was. You can now get the things you got there at regular stores (that have more acceptable pricing). My guess is this is putting pressure on Whole Foods' growth strategy.
"References to EBITDA make us shudder. Does management think the tooth fairy pays for capital expenditures?" - Warren Buffett in the 2000 letter to shareholders. You may be correct that the EBITDA stuff is more down to the journalist.

For long term owners though it is important.
Would those same people suffer an absolute difference in musical enjoyment if those two artists did not exist? Is there a reason to believe that another set of artists wouldn't have filled that gap and users would be just as happy? That is, if there was no copyright and instead we were listening to stuff artists made just because they're artists, and they find a way to create, is the public at net loss?

“Our analysis indicates that, in 2013, 36% of citations were to articles that are at least 10 years old and that this fraction has grown 28% since 1990,”

Put another way, in 1990, 28% of citations were to articles that are at least 10 years old. (28*1.28 = 36). So, in 1990 a significant number of citations were already older papers.

I wonder if there is a way to weight individual citations within each work (e.g., by age of the paper cited?) to further strengthen the signal.

Also, at some point, the fraction of old papers cited should approach 0% (the fields had to start sometime). It would be interesting to reproduce this analysis for time bins which are older. I presume one would find that the fraction of citations that are to papers 10 years or older would be a monotonically increasing function of time. So one then needs to ask if this increase is due to better access to articles or if it is simply due to there being a larger body of work which is older than 10 years?

After reading up a little more about Red on Wikipedia, I came across the term "Homoiconicity"[1] which I hadn't encountered before (though the concept itself wasn't new to me, I wasn't aware there was a name for it). What homoiconicity refers to is where the language syntax mirrors the metadata markup - just as you described here with JSON / Javascript. In fact it's a common feature of LISP and it's descendants, Scheme obviously being one. So it's not that surprising that Javascript also inherited homoiconicity from Scheme.

The other interesting thing about my research on Wikipedia was the tangent it took me on. I started reading about other other homoiconicity languages that I hadn't heard of; and that lad me to a page about the programming language "Curl"[2] (not related to the cURL HTTP client that most Linux / UNIX sysadmins would be well versed in). Curl is very interesting as it merges the different stacks of web development (markup, style sheets and scripting engine) in a unified language that can still be abstracted separately if one so chooses. Baring the syntax, it was exactly the type of concept I was suggesting a little while back when myself and a few friends were discussing ideal world scenarios of how we'd reinvent the web-development stack.

Anyhow, Red is definitely an interesting language in itself. But it's always a bonus when one interesting post on HN leads you on a journey of a few other discoveries.

That is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure that it's actually doable. How would you do implement it? Moreover it seems to me that it would be likely not worth the work, because training some ML algorithm to detect this kind of messages would be always much easier than to design and implement this kind of mapping in the first place.

I am worried that the net neutrality rules the president is now pushing will eventually kill the free and open internet.

ISPs will be required to not block traffic that is lawful but what is the definition of lawful? Would wikileaks be considered lawful? What about the Snowden documents? What about encryption?

This is a dangerous road we are going down.

Love the idea; don't like that they ultimately own the satellite.

I would like to see a satellite similar to this, storing and broadcasting a queue of information, but that has a crypto-democractic method of submitting data to broadcast. Requests for data to broadcast submitted to the satellite must be accompanied by a Proof-of-Work. The required level of POW can be dynamically adjusted by the satellite itself based on recent demand.

In other words, the satellite is fully autonomous, with no central control. Anyone can submit data to be broadcast. They just have to "pay" for it.

This solves the problem of who owns the satellite (everyone does), but does still mean money can buy broadcast power. Though people can build systems for helping to "crowdsourcing" POW solutions for desired broadcasts.

NOTE: I haven't read up much on cubesat, and just satellite technology in general, so I don't know how possible this is (in particular, how to manage transmission to the satellite and whether cheap kickstarter sats/cubesats can broadcast data on their own, or are linked to some other satellite).

EDIT: Also, this has the same problem similar systems suffer from: potential to broadcast illegal data. No great solution to that problem other than revising the laws.

> The endorphins from exercise work wonders against depression.

There is very little benefit from exercise for people who have depression.

Children and adolescents: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004691...

Adults: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004366...

Exercise is better than a placebo, if the trial is low quality. Once you get better quality trials the benefit is less significant.

There's some evidence that exercise might build resilience against depression in people currently not depressed.
Basically a M-x spook version of the same thing.

Now that's ironic. Using code words supposedly designed to attract automated monitoring system attention which are actually themselves a form of code to an encrypted message.

Second BuckRoger's post, in general. I'm a native rural Iowan, who lived in Des Moines (DSM) part of my career, and am there often for family purposes.

My recommendation is simple:

Unless you are a CPA, actuary, lawyer or some other bureaucrat, don't move to DSM. In fact, I've advised many people to move away.

The reasons are simple.

While there are both tech and brick/mortar startups in DSM, the scene isn't huge and it does have life-span issues. Startup City closed up shop this fall after 2-3 years. Gravitate--the co-working spot mentioned in the article--is the latest in a series of attempted co-working spots over the past several years.

Regular employment options are a huge concern too. DSM is government, insurance, mortgages and banking, with a handful of ag and convenience-store companies thrown in the mix. The common refrain I hear from old colleagues and family working for insurance/financial services companies is how unsatisfied/miserable they are, and how they wish there was someplace better to go.

The marketing, advertising and publishing companies shouldn't be forgotten either. (Hint: re-read that last sentence in context of the article.)

Another huge thing people don't often consider is airfare costs. DSM International traditionally has had very high airfares--so high, many companies have sent their employees to Omaha or Kansas City to catch flights, because it's more cost effective--even with mileage and hotel bills.

Ignore the hype. There are much better places to live and work than Des Moines. I now live and have my own business in the Minneapolis/St. Paul (Twin Cities) metro, and couldn't be happier. For everything the article states about Des Moines, MSP is several orders of magnitude better.

But will Nevada actually pay $1.4 billion out of its treasury? My understanding is that most of that is tax abatements; Tesla agreed to locate a huge industrial plant in that state in exchange for 20 years of no property, sales, and payroll taxes.

What Nevada gets in return is 6,500 permanent jobs, $43 million paid to a local school district, a highway rerouted, and massive ripple effects of all that industrial activity. For example, the Reno airport is about to become very busy, as will local grocery stores, restaurants, motels, hardware stores, lumber supply stores, etc.

It's not as though Nevada would have been $1.4 billion richer if Tesla had not located a plant there. This notion however is widely expressed on the internet and suggests that people do not understand what a tax break means.
I'm in favor of Net Neutrality, but from what I've read and discussed, Title II sounds like a bad path to go down. Basically it would give the FCC all sorts of regulatory powers we'd just have to trust they wouldn't enforce. Yeah, I got no faith on that topic.

Totally agree on the need for tuple syntax (and pattern matching to make it really useful):

return Tuple.Create(foo,bar);

Should be:

return (foo,bar);

The worst part is using the Item1..ItemN properties. One way I've gotten around it is to create a Tuple extension method called Apply [1]. I allows you to do this:

ParseName(fullName).Apply((first, last) => ... )

That allows for giving names to the tuple ItemX fields and uses them 'in scope'.

At least with C#6 we can now open static classes like namespaces and do something this:

using Language.Helpers [2]

...

return tuple(x,y);

Which already makes it start to feel like it's part of the language.

The point of this thread is that they should either a) test for it, b) acknowledge that they didn't test for it, or c) cite some place that has. To dismiss it as a bad idea with no reason is precisely the topic of this thread.

You brought up that it would complicate things. Of course it would, but that is basically beside the point.
