You'rewelcome. :) You know one thing that's helped me live a more balanced life (I think) has been exploring the lessons of the tarot deck. I just pulled the 10 of wands, and thought of you. This site has some good interpretations

It almost sounds like you're experiencing a kind of post-partum depression. I would recommend that you not "quit", but rather "step back." If you've launched the project, and it's being used, then how much

If it's "overreaching", I'm pretty sure it's not "securing the nation." Dragnet surveillance just makes me paranoid, and my intuition is that it stifles, rather than accelerates, innovation --- well, exce

If that's seriously canon, then your reward is "citation needed."

Highly recommend. I dabbled a bit and almost got a remote-control draw-bot working. Sometimes you gotta move the pan from the back-burner to the front-burner.

I like your ad-hoc verbal experimentation. It reminds me of a study awhile back, something about how we use rhythm in our communication to keep things flowing. Along with the subtle power dynamics of short and long responses, there seems to

Actually, he was the first. In his speech at the Second Virginia Convention, he spoke the immortal words: "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me voting dollars or give me death!"

I'm not horrified, as I've had similar thoughts to yours lately. I do think you might get a better response if you could extrapolate on your reasons for moving the logic into the database. Maybe a blog post? Your argument that a s

Is it true what vessenes said above about the Internet Archive receiving a dataset of book spines? And would it be possible for the IA to release that dataset publicly?

That's another good point. Then the only way I could see it working universally is if you assign a price to the water consumed, where it's costlier in CA than VA. Then you can say that a single almond grown in CA uses $.001 H2O, b

That's a good point. But I wouldn't classify the water usage label as "penalizing". It's more, um, informational. So if you're in CA, you might set an ideal "virtual water budget" for yourself (100 kl

It's interesting to think of the state of California as one ginormous mining-town. Only instead of some rare mineral that will one day be exhausted, it's the groundwater in the aquifer that underlies the entire valley. The concept

I see a couple take-aways here. The first is that it hardly matters what the "real story" is (about an endeavor/person/etc), it's what the media reports the story as being --- and that's the story that is going

Thanks for sharing this. It's an interesting trend that I was not aware of (but maybe intuited?). It does seem that, while on the one hand, upvotes are necessary for ranking crowdsourced content on HN and reddit, on the other hand, the
