Are you kidding? Wasn't he one of the developers of the RSS protocol? Plus he was starting companies and giving lecture before most of us finished college.

I for one judge people on their accomplishments, not whether he finished school or not.

Oh my god everyone here is splitting hairs like the rest of the goddamn internet.

The FBI is looking at more Clinton emails. That sounds shady and bad for Clinton no matter how you swing it.

Love this post. If you're ever in Austin you have a fellow mystic to jam with. Keep on with the good vibes man.

No comparison to React... Yawn.

But Republican politicians around the US have been introducing bills limiting who can use what bathroom, so the larger problem is the GOP as a whole doesn't know what it even believes. Thiel's and Trump's social ideals vary vastly from the rest of the party.

Assuming you're more proficient in JS than CSS ;) With CSS3 I find some animation is easier w/ transitions and keyframes than JS.

Thank you for this sir. I'm with you, Elon has accomplished a breadth of amazing things fairly early in his career. If you don't find that astounding then GTFO IMHO

If it's 105 minutes that potentially benefit you. If they don't then just take a nap instead, no one bats an eye at a 105 minute nap.

I agree with the meditation and mindfulness piece, but I agree with your points about this article. Kinda trash

Hehe I think you might have actually been first!

I could give you my take but I think CGP Grey really explains it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU

Thanks for sharing, very interesting stuff. The more unbiased studies we have like this the better.

Seriously... I was just reading the examples and thinking to myself "why would I use this over vanilla D3"? The syntax isn't more concise and offers less control, and introduces a whole new api to learn. To me this is like writing a DOM manipulation framework on top of jQuery...

Good ol' Chomsky :)

But you also need to scale these systems. Paper doesn't scale

I've been going through U.S. History. This series is really great, highly recommended.

True, but not scaling well has its drawbacks in voter participation and data management, no?

Like the post above me said, isn't the risk of peoples votes getting switched OK as long as people can verify their vote value?

Interesting. I'm no subject expert so I can't critique this, but it sounds better than other online voting systems I've heard. I like the checks and balances in place too.

Now I only skimmed this article, but I feel like most people who argue against online voting use arguments about how insecure it is that already apply to what's happening right now (voting software is a black box, can be hacked, etc etc, this also describes current voting machines). The only difference is there isn't a single voting db or site somewhere for people to manipulate a large number of votes (which like you said is protected as long as people can verify the open software / data).

Yes paper does have indelible properties but paper doesn't scale well, and having a paper counting machine introduces the same black box that people use as argument against current voting machines. Yes security is an issue, but scalability is also an issue.

As a BI fan, this is a great question. While BI does simplify welfare distribution it does put more responsibility on the receiver. If we wanted to protect from misuse of funds we need a way to restrict how they spend their BI, like how food stamps work.

BI should be spent on life necessities while earned income should be disposable and/or go into savings.

I feel like shifting the blame towards consumers only shirks the responsibility that companies have to act responsibly. How much longer are we gonna excuse companies that only act in their self interest just so we don't have to do anything about it?

EDIT: Whether people like it or not, free market forces don't always offer the best outcome. We stopped depending solely on free market forces when we put in place anti-monopoly laws. We've identified that regulation is needed in some cases. Lets use it damnit.

Very interesting stuff. In the context of software development, I definitely feel the silo of programming around me. While I enjoy it, it's all I do and now I naturally have to compete with all other programmers for jobs and other forms of professional attention. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Having a multidisciplinary approach to the work I do in my life may open up some doors. Thanks for posting.

Damn dude, you and your friend white vinyl have some very awesome work up. Keep it going!

Seriously, why? Doesn't estate taxes only apply to large large large estates, and wouldn't apply to the majority of homeowners in America?

> The obvious explanation is that they have an error in the measurement.

Then why have 6 different teams verified it? Not saying EmDrive is the real deal but either the error is hard enough to catch 6 teams missed it, or theres something else going on. Saying all these teams are wrong, to me, is far from "obvious".

This.
