Show HN: subreddit_analysis – Discover the habits of the users of a subreddit
Every spam filter has false positive. You should make a habit of checking Spam folder periodically, whatever email services you employ (unless you do not enable spam filtering).
Everyone says that they can multi-task (maybe not everyone, but a lot), and in my long long old life, I've only met one person who could talk to me on the phone about weird music at the same time she was actively editing something that was going to go to trial the next day. And be fully active in both parts of this.

It was freaky.

I don't believe that most people can multi-task. I believe that one person can multi-task (that I have met), that some people can switch very quickly, and that the rest are delusional.

For myself, I can process vast amounts of information, and I can context switch, maybe slowly -- but I can't multi-task. After 40 years in the field - I'm not sure that many claimants can.

CMV: It's just a way for douches to say that they aren't paying attention.
> 1. How many outstanding shares (including as yet un-granted option pool shares) - divide your grant by this number and you have your ownership share of the company

Proper term for this is FDSO (fully diluted shares outstanding).
Yes, Android 5.0 or later is required due to the libc changes made in lollipop. It also requires an arm(64) or x86(_64) cpu - no mips support at the moment!
Nice to see Santafe's work shown here. They have many interesting findings in different fields. Simulation as a tool provides a way to look into complex systems. Though not perfect, perhaps the best we can have at the moment.
Even if gmail keyboard shortcuts were anywhere near as good or fast as alpine (they aren't) you still have big bloated responsive AJAX/js pages loading for every single action.

With alpine over ssh I can use email on a bad 2G cellular connection with no hassle at all while google won't even load the inbox.
As slow as teletype printing is, you probably wouldn't want to wait for more than about 2 feet of output anyway.
New experiments explore how the brain perceives time
Thanks! I'll think about making the source more obvious in the store listing or the app interface.
We're still pretty confident that Rust will be able to support a high quality green threading library and other M:N concurrency libraries without needing to be integrated into the language itself. All the type magic that we do to pass data between threads should work quite well for a green threading library. We already have a couple projects experimenting with this [1], [2], [3]. Servo also has a pretty nifty work-stealing queue [4] that is yet another abstraction for easily sharing data between threads.

Coroutines are great stuff. Being able to yield for an async result and then wake up later, without having to do expensive and buggy lock rendezvous nonsense, is manageable and scalable.
A materialist rejects "consciousness" as a fruitful term, observing that it often leads to confusion and non-sequiturs, as contradictions often do. The paper itself shows how certain definitions of consciousness would have these outcomes. Materialists would say that you need a functional definition of consciousness: If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's a duck. It's a bit like talking about a "soul". Humanity, for the longest time, thought there was a soul, separate from our mere bodies. They just had a "feeling" that it was real, despite not being able to provide a functional definition of what it is. Consciousness is no different. Coherence of the self is an illusion.
I'm terrified of lock-free stuff because it typically depends on nasty things like memory order, cache behavior and other subtle things, mostly nonportable and simply awful to get right on a new platform.

Also, I keep finding bugs in lock free structures. That's annoying.
According to Edmunds, the MSRP on the Model S 60 (the base model) is $79,570. The average price paid in my area is $79,570. I don't actually know, but I suspect Tesla does not haggle on price.

The MSRP for the Leaf is $30,585, and average price paid in my area is $25,682.

Edmunds does not account for tax subsidies. I think we can both twiddle the numbers in our favor. So the question is, what are the actual cost of ownership of these cars? I still strongly suspect, the Leaf costs roughly 1/3 of the Tesla and is roughly 1/3 of a car.

I've seen otherwise intelligent people (not native English speakers but still) use mark as spam as an alternative to delete.

This was years ago but I guess that person was not alone.
Since several users have made a good case for the existing title, we've reverted it. If it were obviously in violation of the rules (misleading or clickbait), we wouldn't do that, but this is one at most arguable.

I think samclemens was genuinely trying to follow the guidelines, though, which is good.

Perhaps ironically, the post is at #2 anyway, which is way high for this sort of thing.
Every week I usually get about ~200 spams. However last week the number was really high, some ~600. And without checking I deleted all of them. Now I am getting worried, if I deleted any legit email :(

Gmail is not my primary email, but still I do get important emails.
The VW e-Golf and BMW i3 are no less cars than the Leaf is. The e-Golf in particular competes directly with the Leaf, offering similar features and price. The i3 is pretty pricy, but it is a BMW after all.
>Actually I've heard that scientists have proved that your awareness of your brain's decision sort of comes after the decision has already been made by your brain.

I've read that too. But philosophically I think people draw the wrong conclusions from this -- like we're puppets and the brain is some autonomous third agent.

My brain and my consiousnless are part of the same thing, so making the decision (in the background) and having it come to awareness a little later, is still the same entity "thinking".

I don't have to think "out aloud" in my brain (consciously) for myself to make a decision: my brain can make it drawing directly and subconsciously from the same memories, sensory inputs, biases etc that I have available when I think.
just curious, is there something missing from platforms/libs like csound, max for live, supercollider etc you were aiming for?
Not sure what you mean. Prices would be set in order for supply and demand to even out. The startup is unlikely to use undocumented supply because of risk.

Don't understand the second point either. 20% margins is plenty. See: http://abovethecrowd.com/2013/04/18/a-rake-too-far-optimal-p...

And tech-driven businesses have lower marginal costs thus can succeed with lower gross margins.
This seems like it should be a no brainer. Otherwise it's nearly as crazy as accepting an offer where the company won't tell you the salary until after you take the job.
All of the emails my mom sends me are tagged as spam. I have a label that forces them to go to my inbox, but I still get a warning that gmail identified her emails as spam, and there's no clear way of over-riding it.
Maybe you guys who have a "it's not about the money attitude" won't join me on this but I wouldn't want someone with two thirds of my skill getting the same salary as me. Different people do different jobs to different levels. Bringing ethnicity and gender into this debate is the boogie man which is supposed to make you sit upright but with such affirmative action in the workplace these days employers are the same. Better workers should get better paid.
Only if you're willing to federally prosecute every person who ever told a website that they were over 18 or 21 if they were not in fact over 18 or 21. Fraud is fraud and justice is blind, right?
b|c for sets is commutative; b|c for dictionaries is not. | is not strictly required to commute, but a | operator that does not commute is surprising behavior, and Python doesn't favor surprising behavior.
The vast majority of humans still believe there is a soul so I think it's fair to say Humanity still thinks so.

The fundamental problem with this pattern in C++ is that you can always just keep around a pointer into it and then the "mutex guard" thing falls apart. There's no way to communicate to the language that this pointer can't hang around any longer than the mutex guard (because that's the only thing preventing the pointer from being racy).

You basically can't write safe abstractions in C++ in the face of pointers.
Hey, the author's here! Were you in the area when Iben Browning predicted a big earthquake from New Madrid, back in 1990? Did that pique your curiosity about it?
It depends on whether the urls exactly match and also on what happens to be loaded in RAM on the server—which gets increasingly non-deterministic as you go back in time.

We're planning to work on better duplicate detection, but the problem is hard to solve well and we don't like to solve things not-well, so it may take a while.
Page 50: Hey, that's how you're supposed to use heatshrink! Wow, I've been doing it wrong for years.

Page 62: Mildly surprised that they don't want crimped connections soldered, but I suppose that compromises flexibility, and shouldn't add all that much strength if they're properly crimped.

Page 76: Wow, had never heard of "connector saver" jumpers before. Sounds bananas, but I suppose if you're going to test everything ten times for every launch, it's mostly reasonable.
Yeah, when I first heard the news I pretty much assumed Homejoy investor Google Ventures simply assisted some of the employees in getting jobs at Google so it wasn't a total loss. Home services doesn't strike me as making much sense for Google unless it was some sort of marketplace, comparison shopping or match-making service.
Maybe it's just not the right product for you.
Source on that? Even the Tajectory Correction Maneuvers (TCMs) are planned in advance, and it's just the details of the TCM that are finalized in the lead-up to those events.

As far as the final approach goes, the core sequence started July 7[1], and no adjustments were made to it. They even had a TCM opportunity before that in case of a possible collision, that I heard was skipped.

You put a lot of effort into your response, and I appreciate that.

But hey - that was a 36 message folder in that video. Show me an IMAP client that would do better and I'll be sufficiently impressed. They don't exist, because you can't do that.

I can show you, right now, a 500,000 message view across multiple folders infinite scrolling with JMAP and I can jump to the middle of that view and load a screenful of messages.

You CAN NOT do an IMAP sort without fetching one record for every message in the folder. If you have a million messages in a folder (yes, we have customers who do that) then you need to fetch a million records.

QRESYNC does improve matters a lot - except almost nobody implements it (we do: I fixed the initial implementation to be exactly correct in all the edge cases) - and JMAP's synchronisation is based on QRESYNC with extra protections against a flood of traffic if the server has many more changes than you expected.

I suspect your allergy to all things JSON and HTTP has coloured your attitude to the protocol, which is a pity.

(IMAP isn't a batch protocol - it supports pipelining, and that's good - you'll notice we also tag commands in JMAP)

Anyway, I look forward to your demonstration of an IMAP client fetching and preparing a view of a 36 message folder alongside our web interface loading the same folder from scratch, no local data present.

Until then, screw your calling bullshit. Go get yourself an iPhone (or ANYTHING with an IMAP client on it) and create yourself a FastMail free trial and reproduce the scenario in the video yourself. You don't need to take my word for it, it's trivial to recreate.

Basically, put up or shut up if you think IMAP is so good. If you think we're missing an IMAP extension that would make your demo work better, let me know and I'll implement it. If you need more than a month, let me know and I'll extend your trial as long as you like.
"Why do you say the other makers are passive? BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, VW, Ford and Fiat all have fully electric cars."

BMW has an i3 that is basically an Onion article parody version of an electric car. If you had to draw a comic of an electric car, that's what you'd draw.

They also have an absolutely ridiculous "electric" i8 that has a lawnmower engine shoehorned in it somewhere and you can listen to that fire off every now and then while you drive your luxury car around. And oh, yeah, it goes 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and they actually advertise that fact.

Mercedes also has a lame little clown car (the B-class, or whatever it is) and a bunch of "luxury" models with little chainsaw engines hidden somewhere inside. Good thing they do all that sound dampening since who wants to hear a chuggy little 3 or 4-banger fire up at every stoplight.

It's stupefying. It's flabbergasting. It defies all logic.

And it's not like it's 2002 or something and they're all reacting to the prius ... they've all had 15 fucking years to come up with something, anything that doesn't make them a joke. And they have nothing.

I don't particularly like the styling of the model S, and I really don't like the interior, and I really, really don't like a big styling void in the middle of the dash where that 17" monitor sits, but I put down a deposit and am taking delivery.

It is a spite purchase. I refuse to pay an incumbent one more cent for the privilege of enabling their anachronistic product model.
The fuse to make this work is an extra $10K. What battery pack or technology could be purchased for that?

"they need to have certain performance characteristics before they are widely accepted"

EVs need to be able to do 0-60 in 2.8s to be widely accepted??
Craters, or lack thereof. They assume some rate of impacts, validate against other parts of the surface, other planets, and Chiron. No craters, the surface has been remodeled too recently for impacts to mark it.
I made a serious argument once that god(s) have a mind, with some of the same rationale. Many individual people contribute parts of their brain to a whole that has will, makes plans, seeks goals, has moods, etc, where each of those cognitive states do not belong to a single individual. Some individuals have more influence, but there are few religious leaders who couldn't be excised for rapidly turning against the supermind. This isn't supernatural, and it isn't mystical. It would apply equally to the Market as to the Government as to God.

But like many flights of scientific fantasy (and like the article) it also isn't very predictive, it isn't verifiable, and it isn't ultimately very useful as a model.

I abandoned the idea when I recognised it as otological onanism.
The salient difference for me here is that the brain has a holistic factor:

Individual brain cells are not self-aware, or intelligent in any capacity. A whole brain is both.

Individual humans in The United States are aware of both themselves and of the United States. The United States is arguably not aware of itself in a greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts capacity, as a human brain is.

(So far I've only read the abstract of the linked article)
Kind of cute to care about this, impressive references and all.

Thinking about thinking, troubling as it may be, presumes a supremacy of human consciousness the sensibility thereof is its own determinant.

A waterfall is a pretty analogy for the State. My point being...interesting that it holds together, but that being established, play your part or propose some alternatives.
To see like a tetrachromat? There isn't one. These glasses only work for anomalous trichromacy. Those with just two working types of cone cells (dichromacy) will have to wait for gene therapy. Fortunately, anomalous trichromacy is the most common kind of color blindness.

While it wouldn't be as visceral as these glasses, you could mimic arbitrarily fine-grained color perception with a tunable bandpass filter. Set the band to 20nm and scan it through the visual range (400nm-750nm) quickly enough... you'd see some interesting artifacts. You'd also get a better feel for the emittance/reflectance curves of various dyes, plants, and lighting technologies. For example: OLED displays only emit light in a few narrow frequency ranges, so they would "flash" three times for every scan through the visual band. Blue flash, green flash, red flash. Repeat. Anything in sunlight or incandescent illumination would have much more continuous dimming and brightening.

While it sounds cool, I don't know of any device that can do this.
>> They just had a "feeling" that it was real

To say this is quite ignorant of the past few (24?) centuries of philosophy, including those centuries and thinkers when philosophy was part of religious thinking.
Our brain cells individually are not postulating self-awareness.
If I permanently cache the image or block the server with my hosts file then the web analytics services will not track me.

If I randomize the query parameters then they will not track anyone because they won't provide useful information to those who presently purchase it. Of course that will require far more people then me to also randomize their query parameters.
Because the i3 was an abortive product in every way. It's hideous, the range is terrible (80 mi), the charge time is impractical (3h on a 220V and 10h on a 110V), and they wanted $45k for it.

I don't think any study has shown that multi-tasking is faster/more efficient than sequentially processing tasks. However, that is quite different from saying some people are better at multi-tasking than others.

I remember reading a US air force study comparing fighter pilots to normal people and they found fighter pilots could multi-task much better than the average joe. I'll try and dig it up.
Even without SIMD, the "naive" version would compile into using two conditional move instructions, the way the attempted optimization ends up with a conditional move in one of its branches. SIMD or not, the superiority of the "naive" version is the sort of outcome you could guess, if you were better at guessing.
I actually think it's the perfect analogy. It's a robot that does exactly what you tell it to do. If you apply power it'll open for ANYONE and if you don't apply power, it doesn't.

I can't see a better analogy for the webserver that revealed confidential information as someone who accidentally left the automatic door on. It opened when the owner didn't want it to, but you can't blame the user of an automatic door for taking its working as some kind of implied permission. If the owner of said automatic door didn't want it to open he or she had only to switch the door off to make their desires translate 100% into real action.

Where things get dicey is that there are certain customs and tradition and clues regarding whether a store is open or not. If the lights are off and it's the middle of the night and there are no cars in the parking lot and etc, it's probably not open and the door opening is probably a mistake, not on purpose.

The internet does not provide any kind of context clues like this, except perhaps for robots.txt and that doesn't apply to humans!
Self awareness is the debate, not constituent parts.
"cp,install,mv will convert smaller runs of NULs in the input to holes"

Does this imply that --sparce=always is default now?
The only useful information there is "sysvinit uses the proc filesystem (in src/{bootlog,hddown,killall5}.c)", the reset is just water about semi-related procfs stuff.
This is pedantry, but 1 billion isn't all that conservative. GMail announced ~425M users in June 2012 and announced 900M a month and a half ago.
I have a pair of Enchroma CX Receptors and blogged a while back about my experience.

http://madscientistlabs.blogspot.ca/2014/06/i-want-to-see-vi...

Basically, I knew I was colorblind from a very young age. I've refrained from describing things by color since then because sometimes I'd get it wrong and people would look at me like I was insane. Never bothered to learn the resistor color code despite being an electrical engineer. Bombed my geology labs because I couldn't distinuish rocks by their color (and because didn't know there was an exemption available for people like me).

The first time I tried the Enchomas on was a very emotional experience. Chickweed exploded from my lawn. Some red cars were a red I could never have imagined. I saw a distant dead brown tree in my yard that would have been almost invisible before. I suddenly understood why my wife liked a burgundy shirt I had never cared for before.

The reactions of some of the people in the videos linked here probably undersell the effect in some cases. Why? Several of the shots were taken indoors. The Enchromas work best in bright, full spectrum sunlight. I noticed in a few of the videos that people gravitate to the windows or head outside where the effect is more pronounced. Enchroma is very up front about this on their site.

The downside with the CX Receptors I have is their weight. The Receptors fit over my (rather strong) prescription glasses and aren't that comfortable when I'm bouncing around doing something physical. They are great for driving though. I just don't like when I have to take them off - the world dies a little when I do.
Wow, the fade in between pages is just sooooooooo looooooong and annoooooooooying. It's like 2 or 3 seconds transition time. Ridiculous.
I am a dualist and I ought to accept that rabbits are conscious. They must have a soul of some sort to be able to have the Easy Problem of Consciousness between their ears. They see, they hear, they do lots of things. But I don't and I can't accept "consciousness in spatially distributed group entities."

The author, judging from the abstract (it's 7AM here), has it up-side-down. One has to first prove that spatially distributed complex entities (like an atom, molecule, the brain or a pen) has phenomenal experience, that is "there is something that it's like to be a pen". Then she can prove materialism is true. But to start with materialism being to true and then... well, who am I to judge.

Some say that materialism is refuting itself, in the sense that proving it true dissolves any kind of truth into non-sense.

To me this seems like the most reasonable explanation - google wanted homejoy but didn't want the liability of a pending lawsuit. [pure speculation]
