I had a side project that made some money and was eventually sold. Of course it became an official business entity much after I started working on it. I don't remember the exact timing. At a later time, when I was applying for a job at

I've used NPM only a little but this scares me. What are NPM alternatives?

I tried the new Firefox and it is very fast, at least for some things. I'm working on a side project that really taxes the browser so I occasionally will test on the other browsers. The old firefox was very slow for my UI where I would

"Moving first is a tactic, not a goal….It’s much better to be a last mover." That reminds me of the fact that I always find things in the last place I look.

I can see real potential here. I think one of the biggest problems today is news presented from a given perspective that is insensitive to other perpectives. What I mean by this is cases where people who have another perspective perceive th

Have you ever heard the expression hindsight is 20/20? Yes, he made a lot of mistakes but it wasn't clear to him at the time. And of course he didn't know what he was bad at. We are all bad at several things. It's good t

Looks nice. I'll definitely check this out more.

I am sure you are not the only one who thinks it is a bad idea. But I disagree with you. I think the future of programming (or I should say, one branch of it) is making programming easier, and letting the computer do more work. I definitely

I think I recall seeing on Hacker News a system they were building where they sent train cars filled with rock up a mountain. That seems like a good way to move a lot of mass. (I'm not sure if it is better than water...)

I had a different reaction to this article than the other commenters so far. I think it did a very respectful job of describing the incredible effort these guys put in. I had no idea it wasn't just some guys in a lab turning on a switc

I can imagine one way of doing this, but I am not sure it serves the purpose the original poster had in mind. There are geo display formats, such as KML. There could be a tag to display a KML document, much like you can display an SVG. Geo

There definitely is a change in Silicon Valley from before. I don't think it is a lack of things to be created by any means. The difference I see is that before the thing to do was create startup. Now everyone wants to go work for Goog

To me the benefit of AR is not just overlaying virtual objects on the physical world but specifically highlighting real objects in your field of view. Granted, this does just come down to placing a virtual object on the physical world. I ca

I think the author researched this article after selecting his position rather than vice versa. He keeps claiming health benefits have not been shown to be true. He goes so far as to say: "...organic produce tends to have more antioxid

Based on my experience with several doctors and other medical professionals here in the US, it appears as if they always diagnose problems with a simplified test or some kind of decision tree like the standard test they did here (the "

I think there is potential for problems like you mention. This would depend on how the program was implemented.

I know people who have been out of work for a long time, and it seems to come to the point where they can no longer keep a job at all. These people essential leave society. And then there are those who subsequently choose to occupy their ti

You could claim LHC hasn't found anything in the sense that it hasn't found anything that disagrees with the standard model. I consider finding the Higgs as we expected a letdown, though it is of course very important. There is a

I think your comment sums up what we have seen happening in general. And it is the physics description of instability - a displacement away from equilibrium pushes the system further from equilibrium. Is there any way to fix this other than

This is definitely a big risk to the country. The way things are going I am having trouble seeing an amicable resolution between the two sides of American politics. I see this as a problem that is not caused by Facebook or a few other big p

Yes, I agree you can formulate the realist ideas, because the observer is nothing special at all. And I also think this is how the world works. But from an experimental verification point of view I think you really need a model for what the

Weinberg mentions the quote by Eugene Wigner regarding the importance of consciousness in the section on instrumentalists. However, I see it is being fundamental to realist's interpretation also. I subscribe the the realist approach, w

Yes. Many worlds is the single obvious solution. It seems some people don't understand many worlds though. Or maybe there is some other definition I am not aware. I want to describe my understanding here for people's benefit. The

My comment was trying to address the idea of big numbers. People can say there are so many planets there must be other life out there. But relative to the numbers that can be involved here, 10^22 is not that big of a number. You raise two v

I am going to take the opposing view here on the likelihood of extraterrestrial life. But I do want to say that I think it is good someone is out there looking for it. I have been known to be wrong quite a bit. I don't think 10^22 is a

I think we need a single news source in the US that both liberals and conservatives could read. The two sides are living in different worlds, not because one side is reading fake news but because the two sides of the news are given from inc
