Well, you can also get lentils, whole-grain bread/noodles/rice/flour, chickpeas and other things as cheap staples (if one leaves the meat out as in my example it's not even optional), but I guess that's not what you mean? What would be your suggestion as staple?

There's a problem with nutrition research in that it changes recommendations every once in a while. The only constant seems to be 'Eat food, mix it up - naturally colourful things are good, don't eat too much of it', so I'm going with that for now.

Concerning time.. it's maybe more of a knowledge and organisation thing, which takes time to aquire. Unless you want really fancy food like sushi.

It's downvoted because it's currently the most serious and rational post on actually solving oppression. Rather than musing abstractly about some dead white scientist talking about blacks. (While taking a break from making money for investors/bosses.)

Speaking of prominent white activist intellectuals, here's Chomsky's view on Einstein: "Compare Russell and Einstein, two leading figures, roughly the same generation. They agreed on the grave dangers facing humanity, but chose different ways to respond. Einstein responded by living a very comfortable life in Princeton and dedicating himself to research that he loved, taking a few moments for an occasional oracular statement. Russell responded by leading demonstrations and getting himself dragged off by the cops, writing extensively on the problems of the day, organizing war crimes trials, etc. The result? Russell was and is reviled and condemned, Einstein is admired as a saint. Should that surprise us? Not at all."

1. as soon as it gets enough traffic/attention it will be run over by spammers or other self-promoters. You'd need at least a way to treat some content as more valuable then other. That would require moderators, who need to be vetted, e.g. by reputation. Take a look at 24h worth of http://www.reddit.com/r/all/new/, expect 100 submissions per minute, and try to figure out how you'd managed the submissions from a quality point of view.

3. if news users pay out existing users who are in dept it sounds like a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme. If the contract says you have dept but don't need to pay within a certain timeframe then don't be surprised if users signup and never ever pay.
IBM's/Watson's documentation is really vague on what these things are, but there's some explaination to that in Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

One thing that we're wondering is whether a score 1% means that it believes that the person has little of this treat, or that it has little proof to believe that the person has this treat. If I'm not mistaken it's the former.
Well, as the percieved public/private divide goes there is also the rampant free market ideology being a strong part of our zeitgeist which usually includes glorification of private enterprise and dismissal of the efforts of the public sector.

Usually most people doing the work in both are just regular people whose work ethic depends on the general culture and not upon private/public divide. I.e. nepotistic governments probably function as a part of an equally nepotistic economy and so on. IMO, IANE (I am not an economist ;) ).
I spent quite a few years in a nearly all-white area when I was growing up.

It was full of folk taking heroin and hitting each other with bottles.

I never could understand where they could muster the energy for so much fighting given the amount of heroin they were on.

Nearly everywhere I have lived since has both been a lot more culturally mixed and a hell of a lot less bat-shit psycho.
Bottom line, then and now, to be a racist you need either be stupid or have serious psychological issues or a combination of both.
On a side note, I always admired Einstein for his tremendous ability to abstract problems. I believe he is the co-inventor of the "thought experiment" with Mach.
You can always feel this ability in his writings.
I think if you want something an artists produces, you should be willing to pay for it. If it's not worth paying for, so be it. Just don't take it anyway.

That's all artists want. It's not the least bit unreasonable of them.
Ah. I grew up in a Cantonese-speaking Christian family in America, so I've never heard 星期天 used in speech at all.

Confusingly, the "seven luminaries" system in that article aren't just referencing the planets: they're also the names of Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth. I did get that sorted out by looking up Western alchemical ordering for the planets, which is in the same order. Wikipedia helpfully provides a table that includes the old names for the planets as well:

> “We love your music,” the public seems to be saying, “but we aren’t going to pay for it anymore. Of course, please keep making it – but you’ll have to find another way to do it."

Ok, so this is going to be controversial, but...do we really need people to keep making art? At least as a profitable venture?

There's already more art, music, movies, books existent than I could ever experience in a hundred lifetimes, and there's no reason to think that recently-created art is better or more interesting than older art. It's not like it's getting stale. Would it really be that bad if artists stopped making art? If people don't want to pay for it, maybe artists should stop? Eventually maybe society would want to pay for it again?

Nothing precludes you teaching your children about mathematics. That's something you can easily do at home for 5-10 minutes every day or two. With my four year old I do this, and also practice things like the alphabet, but it's not something I expect her preschool to do.

Preschool should be about group play, socialization and getting ready for kindergarden. It shouldn't be about academics.

This is a fallacy of composition. Luck plays an important role in military success - Napoleon famously said he was less concerned about a general's skill than whether he was lucky - presumably meaning opportunist enough to seize an advantage when one unexpectedly presented itself. Likewise, numbers matter; a sufficiently large army will overwhelm many smaller ones not because of any inferiority of fighting spirit among the defeated, but just by being hopelessly outnumbered. Where small forces has famously resisted larger ones, such as Leonidas' 300 Spartans or the British Army at Rorke's drift, it did so because of the ability to exploit geographical or technological advantages

Your mistake here is to confuse a temporary strategic superiority that confers success in battle or even in war with some sort of moral or intellectual superiority. Back in World War 2 Hitler undoubtedly displayed strategic superiority at first (although the roots of German success go back to the late stages of WW1, when German generals 'banked' some of their military technology within newly Communist Russia, an arrangement which evolved into the non-aggression pact between Hitler and Stalin). But Hitler, like many conquerors before, fell victim to hubris and overreached when he should have consolidated. Despite being a political and military genius, his misplaced assumption of innate racial and cultural superiority (largely adopted from Prussian Kultur) proved to be a strategic weakness.
whoishiring leads the "Artistic interests" section.
absolutely. More generally you could say that people from different races need to have something in common to get along with each other. Or even more general: People need to have something in common to have a healthy relationship.

I think the main problem is that most people lack a true passion for anything. Even many people of the same race don't get along well because they have no real interest in anything. If they don't even share the same race (i.e. have even more different properties), shit is about to get real.

Based on that theory I would guess that you see less racism amongst hackers, musicians, athletes etc.

Humans may have made great progress technologically. But having neat digital watches didn't help society as a whole to grow intellectually to the same extend.

>The maths demonstrates the consequences of different distribution of attitudes.

It demonstrates the consequences of a modeling different distributions of attitudes in a particular way.

>What the model does demonstrate is that the set and distribution of viewpoints that will lead to desegrated neighbourhoods is far smaller than people tend to think. It is much easier to end up with segregation than most people would expect, even with predominantly mostly benign views in most of the population.

It does not demonstrate this, because the parameters and details of the model have no relation to reality. In order for your claim to be true, there would have to be some mapping from real world conditions, to the parameters of the model.

All this model demonstrates is that for some parameters, individual preference for similarity of neighbors dominates over preference for diversity of the community. Which is (to me) obvious anyway.
I don't see why this is so weird. Usually, people do things they enjoy for free, and if you want them to do something unpleasant, then you have to pay them to do it. Artists are essentially asking to get paid to do something they enjoy (for some value of "enjoy"). That's a nice gig if you can get it, but I can see why it would be a hard sell to consumers.
Near the end the article says something about how employees felt Hughes et al. were dishonest, and if the article's telling is accurate that certainly seems the case. Especially for Hughes to publicly praise Foer, give assurances that he will stay, and meanwhile be looking for a replacement for months does seem a bit slimey, though I guess people do this kind of thing all the time in business.

Not being a management expert I wonder how to handle that specific aspect better. One thing that comes to mind is to communicate your intentions well in advance and allow for a slow transition. Maybe that's naive and wouldn't have been possible, I don't know.
Empathy-as-a-service is the killer app for Google Glass. Finally!
I hope what I have to say is not as controversial as I fear, but I don't think that individual racist beliefs are as big a problem as we have been told. To look at somebody and consciously judge them to be inferior based on their skin color is so outdated and obsolete, that those who do so are fringe members of society who are typically elderly and either changing their mindset or dying out. We elected a black president in a landslide victory for God's sake. Twice!

No, what is harmful is the vindictive, hyper-vigilant collectivist attitude that persists in a ham-handed attempt at "leveling the playing field." The idea that certain groups of people (blacks, women, gays, etc) need compulsory protection at the expense of other groups (white males), induces a sort of resentment as a response to what is perceived to be a witch hunt. For example, certain events - such as the destruction of Paula Dean for admitting to saying the word "nigger" in the past, or Brendan Eich's dismissal as CEO for his donations against gay marriage - and certain policies - such as affirmative action or the greatly lopsided outcomes of most child custody battles - evoke an understandable, but completely irrational, feeling of resentment towards those groups as a backlash for perceived unfair treatment. It's this "us vs. them" victim mentality that's the problem in mainstream America. That's where the real racist attitudes come from, not some sort of widespread, conscious conclusion that certain groups are intrinsically inferior to others.

The answer is not collectivist protections or more anti-racism vigilance, it is to look beyond our superficial differences and to consider all people as individuals with an equal capacity to love and to be loved. Racism is an outdated idea. Let it die on its own.
While Einstein only fully stopped eating animals shortly before his death, there is some indication he also felt uneasy accepting the general attitude on animals as food for some time before that. This is prejudice that that most of us have yet to shake still.

> Indeed, the amount effort put into optimizing dynamic languages boggles the mind

It is actually quite interesting, given that was the research in optimizing Lisp and Smalltalk runtimes that gave birth to JIT compilers and many of their techniques.

What I find sad is the effort being spent in JavaScript, instead of more optimizer friendly languages like Lisp and Dylan.

But that is what we got in mainstream languages and why I am following Julia's progress.
'Another an example of how, the fact that a person can contribute to the design and construction nuclear bombs does not automatically make him qualified to condemn the rest of the society to produce what he and his brethren deem desirable.'

No it is not that at all.Someone with more awareness would understand that his comments would have reflected the concerns of the day-namely the perceived failures of capitalism.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it.
any one of Einstein's contributions in his miracle year would have put him in the history books. to say his contributions to science have been exaggerated is incorrect. he really was that good, whether you like that fact or not.
Ah ok maybe I overcomplicated the concept in my head. I had assumed the SaC to describes something more tech related, e.g.:

"Stand Alone Complex (スタンド・アローン・コンプレックス Sutando Arōn Konpurekkusu) eventually came to represent a phenomenon where unrelated, yet very similar actions of individuals and/or software bugs, plus other coincidental events create a seemingly concerted effort and/or seem to mimic or behave like an intelligent actor."

E.g. as a software guy I imagined bugs so interdependent and complex that accidentally implement an AI. Yep i'm a programmer alright. ;)
What evidence leads you to believe that it will, in fact, die on its own?
There is virtually no evidence that program documentation leads to "better" programs. In fact, there are many people that will maintain that the need for code documentation is evidence of a "bad" program.

Regardless of whether you subscribe to this theory or the opposite, there is no "objective" way to differentiate between these 2 spectrums.
Totally agree with your view of how things work on a higher scale.

Isms will always exist because not all of us are equal and we will never be; and I'm not saying that with a discriminating tone, what I mean is that you have to be completely retarded (excuse me, but it's true) to actually believe and state that we are all the same. We all like different stuff, we all have different ways to achieve our goals, we even have (VERY) different moral foundations to asses whether something should be right or wrong.

On the other hand, most of us are used to live under the terrible premise to puts oneself (and thus, its kind) before others. Put these two facts together and everything that has happened (and will continue to happen) throughout our history becomes obvious.
I agree with the other reply -- this isn't so much of an indictment of PHP, as it is front-end development in general.

Sure, to keep it simple you could download your JS and PHP deps once and bundle them all up in one nice zip. I think many apps provide a "dist" or "release" bundle (this one, in fact, does) in which you don't have to care about Composer, Bower or npm. However, to properly organize deps or define build processes for development, why not use some of the (frankly) common tools available?

It's funny how HN could see a simple unzip-and-go app and scoff "amateur hour hobby project". But if someone takes a more formal approach to their hobby app it can flip and scoff "over-engineered bloated setup".
> I find this analogous to saying software engineers shouldn't be paid because they like playing with computers.

I really don't expect anyone to pay me for the open-source experimentation I put on github for free. But if you want me to write the boring line-of-business application for your company, then I want to get paid.
When I Asked Jeff Bezos the Tough Questions
Oh, the entitlement.

You simply didn't create something engaging enough. Popular games make a lot of money.

Take Minecraft - it was created by one guy and made hundreds of millions of dollars before he actually turned it over to a team.

Whining about models and price schemes and markets is pointless. If you want to make money, you have to create something people are willing to pay for.
I find it absolutely hilarious that you believe that Comintern - an organization that was dissolved in 1943 - is still "funding and driving" civil rights struggles.

As someone who used to be active in a party that used to be a part of the Comintern, and that spent a lot of time during my youth to try to build support for re-establishing an International, and who learned in the process there are about a dozen "Fourth Internationals" (Comintern was the Third), a few Fifths, and at least a couple of Sixths, none of which acknowledge each other, all of which are ludicrously impotent tiny little groups, the idea of some shadowy remnant of the Third actually still existing and having the power and will to do something good for a change is some world class tin foil hattery.

I also love how you try to pretend that it was a secret that Einstein was left wing, yet at the same time try to push the idea that the supposedly left wing US press (... as a European, the very idea of a left wing US press is comedy gold) were exaggerating his worth as a physicist because of his secret left wing views.

By all means, keep on going. It's exactly this over the top lunacy that have changed US attitudes to socialism - the rate of change the last 20 years have been astounding. Maybe in another 20 your political landscape will start to approach the European.

It's worth reading the link here: the point is taht people have a tendency to segregate even for entirely arbitrary reasons, eg when they are playing members of different groups in a make-believe story for film. I've seen similar behavior on lots of film sets; if there are 'good guys' and 'bad guys' in the cast, they'll gravitate to each other at mealtimes, and likewise cast and crew tend to self-segregate as numbers increase.
There's a lot of data on this subject; if you're actually interested in evaluating it as a scientific hypothesis (rather than dismissing it as heresy), this should get you started:

http://isteve.blogspot.com/2014/03/2008-sat-scores-by-race-b...

The study in question involves the SAT, not formal IQ tests, but the two are highly correlated. [1] You'll also see that the original claim isn't quite supported, as the poorest group of whites scored slightly worse than the richest group of blacks, but the study does broadly support the conclusion that the poorest whites outscore all but the richest blacks.

[1]: See, e.g., http://www.psychologicalscience.org/pdf/ps/Frey.pdf?origin=p.... "These studies indicate that the SAT is mainly a test of g [general intelligence]."
Things got more complicated when I decided not to just use CSS/JS from some CDN, but have it locally available. Then I needed to postprocess the CSS to remove @include rules.

Most of the build process is meant to create small, versioned files, so users don't need to download full jQuery/Bootstrap stuff. I would feel bad for not optimizing my assets.
It'd be funnier if views like this one weren't well-represented in the modern day:

> Such are the power given to women in their families in the hope that they will inform against their husbands, and the license which is allowed to slaves in order that they may betray their masters; for slaves and women do not conspire against tyrants; and they are of course friendly to tyrannies and also to democracies, since under them they have a good time.

Book 5.
I read a fairly compelling Doctorow short (possibly I, Rowboat?) which posited that that origin of AIs was spam filtration. By creating an ongoing cat-and-mouse game between spambots and anti-spambots, a selective pressure was accidentally created from which intelligent language-using agents emerged.
It's the intent of UML, but I think most developers don't use it. There are some interesting comments (including a book author on the topic) in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7624601
While many aspects of this redesign are well thought-out, I think that the changes to the stream are not of high quality. With the new design, white space in the stream is greatly diminished and it feels cluttered. One solution to this might be to only have the colored backgrounds for the track that is playing.

I think it would be best to try to keep more of Soundcloud's orange on white look for continuity too.
