Kant and Marx too.

That comic reminds me on the aviary example in the Theaetetus.

What an incredibly petty thing to do.

The majority of what you said can be accomplished by Philosophy.

I wonder if 'being mindful' could be exchanged with studying Philosophy? The practice of "non-judgmental, present-moment awareness" sounds a bit like the PSR.

Try Huginn. I found it very easy to setup and work with. https://github.com/cantino/huginn

Treating symptoms rather than the 'cause' is in fact common practice; Consider the case for Ambien.

That's based on the supposition that a particular genetic resistance is already present in the population.

My question was directed upon the 'chimps vs humans' quote, and how relative genetic diversity matters (given that we don't take part in incest), not on the principle on which the potato famine occurred.

> Humans already have really low genetic diversity when compared to chimps.

Please elaborate why that matters; it was taught pretty early on in my bio major that ecosystem biodiversity is a positive, however, I haven't heard of anything relating directly to a species itself. Thanks.

Ah. I was mistaken in thinking that you were using 'wiki editing' in a manner that was more in-line as a qualification, rather than a simple means of discrimination. By that logic, I think 'hosting a minecraft server' would be comparable.

My first thought if I was hiring, and a prospect noted that they were experienced in editing wikis, is that they were involved in blackhat SEO.

Why would that even be a metric?

Until you get a new iOS upgrade, thus turning your ipad into a paperweight.

You're mistaken.

These guys have been around since 2005, if I'm not mistaken. So I dunno if I'd call them new.

For the curious, they're referring to L-dopa.

I really miss jack3d's DMAA recipe. QQ

I really need to see a Tesla vs. Edison (AC vs. DC) themed YC app.

Have you looked into the alchemy api?http://www.alchemyapi.com/

Perhaps offtopic: Is web scraping a desired skill in the job market? Asking because unemployed.

Which is exactly the point I'm pushing: Who will pay for other's incompetence (or for lack of a better word failure)? Will we simply sweep someone's life under the rug? With regards to the idea that a company will be 'responsible,' just think of Shell and the oil in the gulf. I only want to be held accountable for my own actions, and not be a statistic a corporation sweeps under the rug. The issue is the accountability, and its ability to be exploited, not the actual legal value.

Perhaps another reason you should be cautious of any 'group' pushing scientific articles to unscientific people: http://www.nature.com/news/stem-cell-pioneer-blamed-media-ba...

Right, and when they represent giant corporations, us common-folk won't have anything to fear; "It wasn't faulty software,but a dysfunctional update"—sort of thing. (my issue is that you won't be able to point a finger at anyone.)

I've always considered 'hacking' as finding unconventional uses, for conventional things. Then again, that link (or what's included) is pure art.

Whenever I read an article like this—in advocacy of AI controlled objects, I always wonder: who would be to blame if an unfortunate circumstance would arrive? As in, say there was an accident, how could 'faulty software' be blamed, or better put, how would it stand trial? Perhaps it could go through another update (think ios 8). Problem solved?

I can't believe this guy has the title of MD and has the gall to make the claim that "the brain does not grow new brain cells throughout your life". Absolutely ridiculous. source:http://web.stanford.edu/group/hopes/cgi-bin/hopes_test/neuro...

I think the article may be focusing more upon the intention behind taking the drug, rather than the drug's actual function. If we were to extend the definition as functionally "neuroenhancing," you may end up with a rather wonky list; Take for instance 2,4-Dinitrophenol.

you might want to add vultr btw. i know they seem to have a bad rep as a clone of DO, but i was really happy with their performance.

well, i'm kind of in the same boat... what size node is it on, and how many users can it support? also, you may want to check out the "meteor hacks cluster" package. it allows meteor to take advantage of multiple cores.
