> What’s more, there is an energy associated with any given volume of the universe. If that volume increases, the inescapable conclusion is that this energy must increase as well. And yet physicists generally think that energy creation is forbidden.

It's important to remember that energy conservation is not an axiom of basic physics. It is a consequence of Noether's theorem and temporal symmetry in the laws of physics. In the framework of GR, this means that any static metric will have some conserved quantity that corresponds to energy (though, in general, it will not be the same as the Newtonian energy). But if the metric is not static (as in the case of an expanding universe), there is no need for energy to be conserved.
In that case, "whoosh".

IMHO, While I have a huge respect for the team from a tech perspective, the pypy core team seems quite inefficient when it comes to communication and networking. Getting money is not real project there.

I may be silly but why don't you contact a professional lobbyist ? Those people know how to get money out of those big corps and could maybe be used for this good cause.

The marketing angle could be also interesting. The Big G would pay a little to appear benevolent to the community. Heck, the new Microsoft (which use Python alot) would pay to continue building their new image.

Great books certainly get translated in every direction. But for merely good books, I wouldn't be surprised if readers outside the US consumed more books translated from English than readers in the US consume books translated from other languages.

Apparently, the prosecution was not less annoying. From this[1] Forbes report:

> She was annoyed. The defense was annoyed. The press gallery was annoyed. By the time the lunch break rolled around, Judge Forrest struggled to hold back her irritation. “I’m not suggesting the government doesn’t have a right to object,” she said. But, “I think that there are objections which are objections that you really need to make, and then there are objections where there certainly may be a legal basis for it, but the better part of valor is to stand down.”

> But the rapid-fire objections continued throughout the day.

How to Organize a Conference
Trials in absentia are unconstitutional in the US, and al-Awlaki was embedded with AQAP, a paramilitary force far outside the reach of the Yemeni government, with which it is at war.

The logic of the strike was that waiting for that situation to resolve itself would have the effect of giving al-Awlaki many more opportunities to coordinate attacks, that the pattern of al-Awlaki's involvement in attacks was one of escalating intensity, and that the attacks plots themselves were becoming more ambitious. At some point, the logic goes, he'll figure out how to coordinate a strike that actually succeeds in creating mass casualties.

There are a lot of very valid reasons to oppose drone strikes. For one thing, you might believe Obama to be a fundamentally reasonable person, and then remember how awful Bush II's national security staff was, and think about what crazy things the next President will do with the capabilities. You might, like me, also categorically reject the death penalty. And you might also be concerned with the idea of a "declaration of war" on a terrorist brand name which any idiot in the world can revive and slap on a black flag any time they want, thus ensuring that the war is never brought to an end. I know that's what I think.

What I don't think you can say is that in the al-Awlaki case the USG struck al-Awlaki down simply because he was a "dissenter". That's all.

Choisir ses associés. L’étape où vous pouvez déjà tout perdre (ou gagner )
I only practice mindfulness meditation with varying frequency, sitting anything from about 5 minutes to 30 minutes, rarely longer.

Typically mindfulness meditation starts with basic breath meditation: Sit in a stable, comfortable position, focus on your breath and notice it going in and out. If thoughts appear, try to keep focus on the breath but don't force the thoughts away, just try to let them dissipate without continuing them.

The big difference for me with unstructured relaxation was that it was hard at first to focus on the breath. My mind produced all kinds of objections to sitting there and paying attention.

Sitting for 5 minutes like that caused my mind to practically rebel. Then I went through a period with dream-like states (one of the most memorable effects, which I've only had a few times, was like seeing a dream unfold around me, but while dreams always feel "fuzzy" and unclear for me this was as if I was standing in the middle of a theatre set, seeing everything clearly, yet knowing it was not real).

Then I had a period of what is something referred to as "monkey mind" - all kinds of distractions piled on. Then I went through a period where I would suddenly get an intensely strong belief that I'd forgotten to set my alarm and was going to be late. I knew I'd set my alarm, but the feeling would become unbearable until I looked at my (set) alarm. I had to solve that by triple check the alarm before I started, and telling myself it was set, and telling myself it didn't matter because I had lots of time free after it was set to go off, and then it stopped happening (and I don't triple check my alarm any more).

These distractions were not constant, and I could sit longer and longer before they'd set in. After a few weeks of daily practice they were weakened enough that I started feeling I was getting somewhere.

Once I'd gotten past those distractions, it changed nature very strongly. Now I slowly sink into more and more relaxed states depending on how long I sit. At about 20 minutes I will generally start feeling as if I am noticing the pulsing of blood in my eye lids and pressure on my eyes (I have no idea if those are real physical sensations or not - doesn't matter to me) and see patterns similar to what you might see if you squeeze your eyes firmly shut and feel a sense of blissful calm that makes it tempting to just stay like that.

If I sit longer and focus, those feelings dissipates as I get calmer and more concentrated and I can best describe it as if my mind is "emptying" and clearing of whatever feelings the sense of bliss brought, and it feels more steady and crisp. It's very hard to relate the sensations of it with words.

If I sit to the "bliss" state or past, I will feel an immense feeling of calm once I finish that will often last for hours afterwards.

I'd recommend the frequently recommended Mindfulness in Plain English (available for free online, or from Amazon etc.) or Introduction to Mindfulness (free podcasts) by Gil Fronsdal. Both are no-nonsense secular introductions and very simple, basic practice to try out and see if you like the effects.

I think Perl 5 threading model is pretty broken. The official documentation explicitly discourages the use of threads [1]. Perl's threading model consists in running a separate interpreter on each thread without any data sharing, which practically the same as using multiple process except without the advantages.

The mix of genetic material gets altered every time an egg is fertilised. In humans, across the planet, this happens several hundred thousand times each day. It's not something that we should be afraid of.
Not really. This procedure is likely to be inaccessible to the general public without subsidy via insurance (public or private).

My argument is that one's ability to reproduce should not be guaranteed by the state, and therefore the state should not create laws that overtly or inadvertently sanction the genetic engineering of eggs or embryos to that end.

This law does precisely that.
Benefit to everyone, not just men, is running my back muscles occasionally at 200% percent safe capacity in general daily life, lead to punishing pain though I was still a teen at that time. Under advice and monitoring of the docs, following all the trainer recommendations, good form and trainer approved plans etc, I bulked up to the point that daily life occasionally peaked my back muscles at maybe 50% of safe capacity. You can guess the effect on my quality of life. Sometimes simply not feeling pain anymore is a gift from the gods. I suppose it was either lift, or start a life long opiate addiction.

On the other hand, I know most of the guys at the gym with me were just addictive personalities. Rather than wanting that lvl80 in WoW, or feeling the uncontrollable desire to get drunk, they wanted to bench 300. There certainly are worse grind addictions than lifting.
I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory but one possible angle is that they want members to log into the site. I suspect that it's easier to prove a user account (with a privately held secret password and activity history) belongs to an individual than just an IP address.
I don't mean to go off track here, but as someone who's been casually interested in math, I'm wondering which branches of math are the most applicable to software development. I've taken Discrete Mathematics, Stats, and Calc in college, but now I've been working in the field for a few years and want to try learning a bit more. I've been thinking of trying some courses on Cryptography, but it would be a major shift from my current background (web dev).

I feel like there's so many different directions to take, but which ones are the most applicable to practical Software Development? Particularly in the realm of Web Development?

Editing my question to ask what's the most applicable math subjects regarding the _PRACTICAL_ applications of software development, hopefully clears it up a bit.

I guess it would depend on the income level change that accompanies gentrification.

If incomes move from "low" to "middle", I don't think you'd see much of a change in laundromat density. In places like SF and NYC, if you don't have a W/D in your home, a "middle" income isn't going to give you enough cash to get one (most of the time it's a space constraint).

If incomes move from "low" to "high", then yes I could see an effect since if you have enough money, you can do the sometime-needed major renovations to add a laundry room to your home.
Yeah, true. We've tightened the scope, read/write is not necessary any longer. Only for private repo's, the linthubot user needs to be added to the repo with read access.
I think the number one thing is you have to give people a reason to pay. Being useful is of course the first step, but people also want to feel they're getting something "extra", they want to feel like it's a transaction, however bad.

One of those things can be to provide a very clear road-map tied to donations and then follow up on it. That's what so powerful with these crowd funding campaigns. People feel like they are making a difference though at times they are essentially buying something.

I don't think you necessarily have to "compromise your values" either. You're probably already limited by money, so add some planning and just be honest about it. "With this amount, this will happen" etc. As always of course "under-promise and over-deliver".

That's mainly for individuals though. Companies are somewhat the same, but they want things that fit into their budget.

This is very cool indead. Reminds me of my time as an undergrad at uni, where one of our projects revolved around making a game/sim like this. Everybody else was trying to make 3D adventure games, but we were interested in "good quality" (I put that in quotes because I just went back to look at the code and shuddered) 2D games, that were more polished.

Our game was called "Land of Life" [0] (or Geco, according to the source code, not sure why). It was a basic, fixed size, isometric tile game. To start with, you are presented with a desert. The only thing you can do is add mountains, and then hit play and watch clouds form and move over the mountains. If you constructed your mountains well, you'd get nice oasis' with rivers flowing out of the mountains, and greenery around it. If, you probably wouldn't get any rivers, but would get some small shrubs.

From memory, the only heuristics about adding mountains were: You can only make a mountain bigger if there are a certain number of mountains of a certain size adjacent to it. It was a bit like game-of-life in that way, hence the name "land of life". This worked surprisingly well for constructing mountain ranges.

One main difference from our approach and the one linked to here is that theirs looks absolutely amazing and educational, whereas ours used heuristics that we dreamed up via trial and error.

EDIT:

Here is a screencast [1]. I still think it is nice how the first river which heads off to the top right (rendered in black due to no river assets) gets surrounded by trees because it is a source of water in the desert. This is not based on any geological/ecological/climate knowledge on our part, but was still fun to tinker with.

I don't see anything by that links about how they plan to fight off spam, scam and unwanted content (drugs/terrorists/illegal porn/etc).

The problem is that the first moment such network gets traction, someone will set up a robot which will make submissions of random data named "Game of Thrones S0xE0y" every second, effectively rendering search useless. The real challenge is to solve problem of decentralised moderation, not to create a decentralised network.
That's why I said it's good companion.

The book covers too much to be thorough. Each chapter gives good introduction to the subject matter and ends with list of suggested reading.

I always read the relevant parts from this book before going deeper. Not everyone is going to dwell into non-euclidean geometry, functional analysis and topology.

Furthermore, I don't think typical self studying engineer in Hacker News wants to learn math using rigorous introduction to analysis. You can get good working knowledge and intuition without knowing what delta epsilon is.

Unfortunately, per Tarver's last comment on this a couple of hours ago, it looks like it's "game over" WRT to licencing reform (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qilang/pt1nmdcOOVU/1WzrqV5Fd...):

Well exactly as promised. I hope people are happy. However now people have got the power they asked for, it is up to them to make the running with it. My role is now more of an observer and to maintain the sources and standards and printed documentation. What people do with Shen, where they take it, is now in the hands of the Shenturians. This means to a degree that people have to define and solve their own problems. My path resumes from where I left it when I returned from the edge of the Himalayas to build Shen.

Side note: no idea why at least two people would down vote all your contributions to this discussion....

ADDED: Just got back an email from Taver WRT to my refund request, denying the "it's modified BSD" claim, and a not unreasonable in the context of our communications, especially since I'd already decided to do it, request to "go away forever" (well, unless a flourishing Shen community develops within the next few years).

Perhaps my "with fire and sword" style stuck a nerve; my #1 and calmly stated point that this negated the whole premise of the campaign was quoted by at least one other person on the mailing list.

Ok, but even taking the first part of that as given I don't understand why the second part follows.
