I tried looking at positions in my state (South Dakota district SD-13) and the state representatives and state senator seats have a 2016 date listed. Is there an issue getting good data for such a small state? I might be willing to help ver

Can anyone with access to the paper give a few technical details? The abstract mentions "Chronic nicotine administration" does this mean the nicotine dosage is high enough to not be a viable basis for treatment? The linked article

Thanks for being receptive. My original recommendation is all I have right now. >maybe the wording should be "Investors and Backers" rather than "Trusted By"

Agreed, their website definitely turned me off. Quick tip for them: Having a section for showing that a bunch of people are using and "Trusting" the product is good, but your's seems to mostly (4/7 from what I can see) b

Ah that sounds like an interesting proposal. A sort of personal "Advisory Board".

How might someone approach/shop therapists (CBT or otherwise) with the goal being personal growth? I've given thought to how useful a professional opinion may be (most of my barriers are self-inflicted), but I'm unsure about

What is your solution for mounting the base stations? I've looked into tripods before, but the sensors are meant to be much more firmly mounted from what I've read.

I can see why the current issues might bring someone out of immersion. But from somebody who owns a Vive, I think having a more personal experience is key to getting the most out of it (for now). When you describe the binocular effect, I kn

His eye for hard science is very keen. I love that he has notes at the end of Blindsight that try to dig deeper into the approaches he had taken in the writing and add background. I couldn't put Echophraxia down. I might hazard that I

Isn't your statement a bit fallacious? The animals that couldn't "solve problems" aren't exactly around for us to study. The difference between the two comes down to luck doesn't it? The animal that survives is

To give a bit more context for others, the novel is a really well done first contact story. I'd highly recommend it, especially because Watts makes it available online for free. http://www.rifters.com/real/Blindsig

Hopefully that changes with the next bump in pixel density. Aggressive supersampling already is getting close to readable.

I think we'll see an unprecedented expansion of software-in-meatspace. Connectivity combined with compute will be the largest hammer ever made and make so much of business, society, and logistics look like nails. Software will eat the

I'm excited to see where this goes because it could go a long way towards providing concrete data for the large "work to replace old infrastucture C code with (Rust||Go||Modern C++)" discussion that has been taking place. Mor

I agree with the assessment. While parts of this official communication were well written and intentioned, it feels like others weren't. > at least in a vendor report you usually only get 1 page of marketing instead of 8 That was al

Yeah, I don't understand parents trying to curb aspirations in favor of practicality. I can understand if she wanted to do something that was ambitious + risky, but it's just computers. There's been nothing risky about gettin

No obligation? It's his duty as President to work with the American people and the business community.

A valid point, that certainly happens in a lot of cases. However, I think the main thrust of the open letter is more of a "protecting sources" concern rather than a "preserving the footage from being seized/destroyed&quo

I've actually been tossing around the idea of creating a program like this, although for a specific use case. In Bethesda games (Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout) there are large modding communities adding new quests, areas and plot lines. Bu

True, code quality isn't as important as some people think. But I think that's there's different levels to indifference that can cause serious problems. Code quality that simply reduces bugs and speeds maintenance is a lot le

I agree. Source control is an integral part of my workflow and it hurts to know that if someone here were to maintain my code later, they'd just copy and paste it as-is and start from there. The reasons for this are two-fold: 1) Like y

Working at a Gov't IT contractor, I really wish we had the organizational skills/incentive to do code reviews. Very rarely does the code I write get glanced at, much less examined. My instinct, of course, is to solicit code review
