> "you are using "parts" of the universe(like photon/electron beams, stones, chopsticks) to measure other parts of the same universe"

That's a very insightful way to put it. To me, that completely and intuitively explains uncertainty -- every form of perception is a form of interaction. So our brains have just evolved to treat them as two different concepts because we perceive using very weakly interacting mechanisms (such as light and sound) and that gives the illusion of pure perception.

However, that does not invalidate my points about the other two aspects of quantum physics -- fluctuations and quantization -- does it?
> It's more likely about enjoying the exertion of power over people.

It depends on the political climate. I grant you - and as a German by birth I used to think about it a lot - that Germans are especially vulnerable to this. Honestly I witnessed abuse of power far more often from public servants (if you need to interact directly with a low-rung city official here you're pretty much hosed), and I won't deny that everyday citizen-on-citizen malice has a special quality in this country to this day.

But it's been my experience that police officers are indeed mostly in it to help people. Sure, they're extra suspicious about everything, but I think that's par for the job. If this is indeed changing, it's a result of international osmosis.
Slight nuance. Working will be optional as long as you maintain the same lifestyle.

I know my son (10 months) loves being surprised. Today he was playing with magnets - finding them sticking to the fridge rather than falling to the floor when he let go of them put him in fits of giggles and kept him occupied for about 10 minutes.

Playing peek-a-boo and then showing up wearing a silly costume or face expression or whatever is one of his favourite games.

When he first met a water fountain, a balloon, bubbles, etc. Anything that didn't respond as he expected physical things to respond, he absolutely loves it, and becomes totally fascinated by them for ages and ages.

Being a dad is awesome. Sleep deprivation, getting puked, peed, and pooped over, changing nappies (diapers), getting screamed at irrationally for hours, etc. is awful at times (and coping with it while sleep deprived makes it all so much worse), but totally worth it.

>If you're fairly well off (parents earning $120,000/year), you can easily get a free education at one of the top schools.

It is great that Stanford was able to offer free tuition (not free education) to whatever portion of the 2,144 students they admitted this year had family incomes under $125,000 and "typical assets" but it is definitely not easy to get into Stanford. As a family with $140,000 in income and what I would consider to be typical assets (modest home, minimal retirement and college savings) we received no financial aid offers of any kind and were expected to be able to pay $65-70,000 per year at private colleges.

Luckily, my daughter found an excellent out-of-state public college that she loves and should graduate debt-free. Unfortunately, too many of her high school friends fell into the private school trap and are now either paying outrageous tuition or are stuck in a mediocre in-state public school.

To any parents now making college visits, ignore those press releases, insist that you visit as many public campuses as you do private ones, and that your children apply to as many public schools as they do private schools and you won't live to regret it.

I am not quite sure. The files are kept as long as you're streaming, and when you click Stop Torrent or when you leave the page (via the onunload event) the page sends a GET request to stop the torrent and delete the files. If you somehow do not do that, after some time a cron script will go in the folder and delete all caches and kill peerflix instances. Therefor I don't think I'm liable as the user him/herself is doing the streaming and using my server as a method to do so. I'm not a lawyer nor have I contacted one for legal advice.
The paradox is supposed to be maintained. It is supposed to illustrate the incommensurability of the two decision methods that it illustrates. It's not supposed to be "solved" or "cut."
No, these appear to be just complete scams. No money ever goes back to the victim. They simply block the victims from contacting them on Instagram once the money is sent.

Chrome. It just feels a lot snappier than Firefox. The built in inspection / profiling tools are also pretty awesome. Oh, and source maps. I'm in love with them. Its awesome being able to debug running javascript + see console messages without having to leave the IDE (plus set breakpoints).

I use GWT, so since even though chrome runs compiled java to javascript, I'm still able to debug it and see stacktraces in java, thanks to source maps.
It might be bit ugly, but couldn't you use a variable inplace of the compiler name, so that it would be trivial for someone to attempt using another compiler

My personal favourite hypothesis for language learning can be reused for this:

There /is/ some pre-coded information about these problem domains in the brain. It just /isn't/ coded explicitly, but implicitly as a bias of the corresponding learning faculty.

Even hard things can be easy to learn, if the learning mechanism itself is properly biased.
I upvoted this comment because this is all very true and gets to be very expensive as enrollment rates increase, which was also mentioned in the article.

But, despite all of this expense, I don't feel like I got a great education while I attended a public university. My classes were taught by grad students and adjuncts in 400 person auditoriums.

I ended up transferring to a small private school about the size of my high school. The tuition was about four times what I was paying at a public school (though I didn't pay near that much out of my own pocket) and the quality of teaching was night and day.
i'm not sure of the options in your own place of residence, but in the US and Canada index funds are mutual funds that just copy some large established index (e.g. S&P 500). So you get the return of the total market and their fees are very low since the fund is not really managed other than balancing. Most actively managed funds that have a strategy rarely beat the market and they have much higher fees. Vanguard low cost index funds are the classic example in the US and Canada.
I eat a pizza once at a place where the owner was really into the Right Way of eating pizza; he got irritated when I asked for some ketchup and explained to me that it's blasphemy, and I should use olive oil instead. I did, and I really liked it (now I use both).
Sounds like good advice, but here's another take on it: I'm in my 20s and didn't save any of the money I made. I immediately spent (on startups, travel or invested in myself) all of it. I have a bit of debt but not too much. I don't regret a single bit of it. I've lived in 5 different countries for longer periods of time, met amazing people from all over the world, and had a blast. I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. And because I invested most of the money in myself I found that I obtained a lot of skills, experiences and relationships that allow me to make a lot more money in the future than I would have if I had followed a regular career path for a couple of years.

Too many people undervalue time and health and overvalue money. You can always make money. But you're only young once. IMO the best thing you can do is invest time and money in yourself, not in any kind of fund. The lifetime ROI is higher.
Also strangely there is no cheese in Indian diet history until a few decades back. Traditionally it has been milk, curd, butter, butter milk & ghee

Milk and its byproducts have been a revered part of Indian religious traditions from ancient times and hence the source of consideration behind the cow as a holy symbol
I do believe this. I live in the UK where there is regional variance in the taste of milk. I believe this is due to factors such as the breed of cattle, the type of cattle feed (which is sometimes season dependent) and processing techniques. Supermarket milk is commonly from Friesian cows, but sometimes from Ayrshire cows (especially in Scotland) or from Jersey cows (especially in South West England). My personal favourite is non-homogenised milk from Ayrshire cows.
ha. you can have a more lavish (wasteful) lifestyle and still only live off 20% of your income, you just have to increase your net income...then 20% represents a bigger slush fund.
This isn't belittlement, it is -as was stated- the most common motive for SWATting. Angry 14-year-olds [0] (whether they're raging about getting pwnt in Call of Duty[1], or doing it for the lulz on *chan) are the vast majority of the folks who engage in SWATting.

I urge you to carefully re-read the comment that you criticized. It's pretty clear to me that cperciva has no intention of belittling anyone.

Does StatusPage do anything that this software doesn't? Just curious, because I was thinking about setting up some form of simple monitoring, but I haven't as of yet investigated any of the solutions in this space. (Forgive me for not checking their homepage; I'd honestly prefer some anecdotal opinion.)

If the two are on par feature-wise, I suppose it comes down to the cost savings of maintaining your own versus the time savings of outsourcing the problem to someone else. It might be nice just to forget about monitoring maintenance.
I just find it tiresome.
Interesting. In China there are often "restaurant skirmishes" when the bill comes over who will pay it. That is, the person who pays the bill gets the face. They can get quite intense. Does this happen in Japan as well?
I read cperciva as criticising the commonly given justification of online abuse. Many people say it's not actually harassment and that it's just mean comments or that it's just an extension of online competitiveness.

I read cperciva as condemning that and using this example to show that all online harassment edit[is / can be] severe.
i'm om with such a choice as long as you don't go into debt to do it.

"a bit of debt but not too much"...this is relative, thousands is probably ok, tens of thousands or more not ok.

the whole reason to save most of your income is so you can have free time to do with what you please (work more, travel, start up, nothing). the investment part is only so you can earn a respectable interest (8% to 10% vs 1% to 2% in a savings account) for you to live off of.
I loved this game. There was an excellent moment where you heard a song used to twist something. There was a bridge in the sky twisted around a mountain, playing that same song backwards changed the shape of the bridge and let you travel into the distance.

This is exactly how I read it. More about the experience and atmosphere the chef is working hard to provide than some hard rules about how to eat sushi. You aren't going to see anything close what the chef provides in a sushi chain store, for example.

I'm not sure discussing this is difficult.

Making a false police report in order to send police to someone's home is obviously wrong and should be easy to condemn.

Even this post you appear to be saying there's more to it than that. If you think she's lying you should gather evidence and post it rather than insinuating it.

EDIT: I mean, unless you called the police station to check the details you can either believe her version of events or believe someone else's version. I'm not sure why you'd go for that other person's version without very good evidence.
They said nothing about gender, and wasn't belittling it -- they were saying that Randi's story was different from the norm, that's all.
Chromium: I like Chrome for browsing and development. I don't like Google branding.
Sure about that? My experience is that large companies host their dashboard in their own environment and that the dashboard will be down when their own infrastructure is. If by large companies, we are talking about >10 000 employees or so.
That's not true for all open source projects. Look at PostgreSQL for instance, they back-patch all bugfixes (where possible) to all of the previous supported major versions.
> I read cperciva as criticising the commonly given justification of online abuse.

Are you sure? His opening 'graph is:

"It's worth noting that this is just the latest in a long series of episodes of harassment which Randi has experienced -- it's not just another case of gamers taking their competition offline, which is the most common swatting backstory I hear about these days."

This seems to me to say: "This isn't a one-off incident; it's yet another terrible incident in a very long string of related harassment incidents."

He goes on to say that Randi has done a huge amount of work to actively combat online abuse.

I don't see where cperciva makes the claim that all online harassment is severe. (Truly, not all online harassment is severe. When my boss uses email to get on my case for overdue deliverables, that's online harassment; but it's a) minor and b) justified.) [0] :)

[0] Or, look at like 80% of what happens in Eve Online for boatloads of examples of minor online harassment.
I'm paying a ridiculous amount of money for bandwidth that just barely qualifies as "broadband" under the new FCC standard -- but I'm paying it to RCN, not Comcast.

I live in one of those lucky areas where there are three residential bandwidth providers: Comcast, Verizon FIOS, and RCN. Having been a customer of all three, I can say that RCN has the least worst customer service and the least anti-user policies. If you think I'm damning with faint praise, you are correct.
Not much social software though. Social used to be a big percentage of YC startups, and a lot of the most successful YC startups have been social -- reddit, loopt, twitch, airbnb, etc.
"Those who contend that knowledge results wholly from the experiences of the individual, ignoring as they do the mental evolution which accompanies the autogenous development of the nervous system, fall into an error as great as if they were to ascribe all bodily growth and structure to exercise, forgetting the innate tendency to assume the adult form. Were the infant born with a full-sized and completely-constructed brain, their position would be less untenable. But, as the case stands, the gradually-increasing intelligence displayed throughout childhood and youth is more attributable to the completion of the cerebral organization than to the individual experiences -- a truth proved by the fact that in adult life there is sometimes displayed a high endowment of some faculty which, during education, was never brought into play.

"Doubtless, experiences received by the individual furnish the concrete materials for all thought. Doubtless, the organized and semiorganized arrangements existing among the cerebral nerves can give no knowledge until there has been a presentation of the external relations to which they correspond. And doubtless the child's daily observations and reasonings aid the formation of those involved nervous connections that are in process of spontaneous evolution; just as its daily gambols aid the development of its limbs. But saying this is quite a different thing from saying that its intelligence is wholly produced by its experiences. That is an utterly inadmissible doctrine -- a doctrine which makes the presence of a brain meaningless -- a doctrine which makes idiocy unaccountable."

- William James, The Principles of Psychology, 1890 (though he is quoting Herbert Spencer here)

I wonder if anyone has improved on this view in the century-plus since it was published?
> if I handed you a résumé, without a bachelor's degree, but instead included my github profile and a list of books I've read cover to cover and some open source contributions, am I going to get the salary I am worth?

Speaking as someone who makes hiring decisions, a strong Github profile means more to me than the school you went to or the degree you have. When I hire people, I care about their ability to get things done and their ability to self-direct far more than their ability to do well on tests. Experience drives salary, not the education line item on your resume.
You still need some sort of equivalency in the mind of the people doing the hiring before the MooCs move in -- something to get them past the mindset that only people who go to college can perform the job. Businesses also need to stop auto filtering people who don't have a degree, and that's something that you'd actually have to fight for to get removed, meaning most hiring managers won't be arsed to take up that fight. Most sane places will realize that actual code is more indicative of skill than the degree (this is before you've met the person), and we thankfully have free tools to accomplish that goal.

It would be fine if college were something optional and there could be a carefree debate. The degree in America is quickly turning into something that is required for decent employment, but can give you a very difficult financial situation for a long time if the reward doesn't meet the cost.

I guess it depend on how you want to interpret it, and a clarification from cperciva would be nice.

To me it was as a statement that because the long series of episodes of harassment which Randi has experienced, this specific case is much more than all those gamers who complain about getting swatted, as their problem is just another case of gamers taking their competition offline. That this case is different from the norm (as Manishearth phrase it bellow), and thus worthy of notice in contrast to the problems of "gamers".

To me, that is belittling. Maybe cperciva meant the opposite, that swatting is a real crime and not something to be perceived as just "gamers taking their competition offline", but it was not the impression I got from that comment.
This article touts Sake as the beverage of choice for Sushi.

I'm finnish and I was really wondering how this could be happening in Finland as our police is not exactly known for swat style raids.

So FYI for other people nor unerstanding finnish: This is about some finns (probably teens) calling police to some address in another country, not police raiding homes swat style in Finland.

Article also states that KRP (national bureau of investigation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bureau_of_Investigatio...) is investigating the issue so finnish police is definitely not taking this lightly.
The extra features are all based on how US students choose a school. Here undergrads go to the school with the beautiful student union, the gym with a juice bar and climbing wall, and want to live in a room near the nicest 24 hour dining hall with made to order stir fry and sandwiches. Having granite countertops in the dorm room also helps.

This is just how the select the specific university though. The target group of universities will probably be something like "City school in the North East", "Private college with small class sizes", or "Ivy with good greek life".

As a contrast ask a Chinese person how they pick which university to go to in China. You will immediately get a confused look and the answer: "The highest ranked one you can get in to". My co-worker couldn't even imagine picking based on anything else.
I agree with the debt. Let's put it like this, I would be out of debt if I worked for a 4-5 months and saved 50%.

What I'm advocating against is the notion of working hard for 5-10 years and sacrificing your youth while saving a lot of money and postponing things you want to do with your life. Whatever you want to do in the future at some point it'll be too late. Once you hit your 30s priorities start to shift. You start thinking about having a family. This means you'll need stable lifestyle not just in terms of money, but also in terms of work hours (= no startups). Excessive travel is no longer possible. Perhaps you need to take care of your parents. Or you may simply become complacent with your current lifestyle (this happens unconsciously more than consciously). Suddenly the startups, travel and fun that the money was supposed seem a lot more risky and unrealistic than they seemed when you were in the beginning of your 20s.

I'm all for saving. But don't sacrifice things you want to do in return for money.
Thank you.

I am very much an introvert, but not shy at all. Social interactions just mentally drain me, so I avoid them if possible.
Not only that, but overly positive, glass always half full comments for the sake of guidelines might prevent the next AirBnB too.

Perhaps for those people seeking feedback who want brutally raw, might-hurt-a-bit honesty, a special flag can be set inviting all manner of such comments. I know I'd elect for that, and would be disappointed with anything less. Spicy internet discussion can flush out the pipes of a concept and invigorate thoughtful discussion quite efficiently. It can also derail, but it's worth the risk IMHO.

That's how the phone system used to be regulated: one company owned all the infrastructure in an area, but there were set fees (tariffs) that any other company could use to provide service on those lines at the end-user's option.

This worked reasonably well for long-distance services (those used to be separate from local phone service) but the advent of high-profit DSL meant that the local monopoly would prioritize fixing their own customers's lines over their competitors, and perhaps do difficult-to-prove-intent things like repurpose competitor copper during a field repair, and then never put it back.
