Hahah, it reminded me of a part of the original half-life, I seem to remember that line popping out, even if the words weren't exact, the meaning was. "screaming electrons" connotes for me early BBS culture. Actually there wa

wooooooooooooooooo! congrats :) the screaming electrons live on. :) love that classic HMI screen. Just waiting to read the status line "Organics detected in reactor core." :) haha

Hmm, good question. I'd say this would simply distribute the contribution of each window member along an exponential (rather than constant) trend. The terms in the mean vector would then be polynomials of the window members. Even if yo

From a startup perspective I think it's an interesting opportunity the kinds of companies that will emerge to enhance government. I find it somewhat weird that there are basically no companies, well known and high growth, doing really

The implicit assumptions that ones' choice to have sex with strangers for money is coerced, wrong, constitutes self harm, and must be protected against are telling a story that denies the people who make that choice the very same auton

Exactly correct. It does result in safer travel, and worship of idols probably does not result in this! So there's a mix of tangible and intangible utility. :) The entire public discourse of investigation, of which the actual result pr

I literally jumped in my chair and facepalmed myself when I saw you'd included Meditations and I'd left it out. Damn. Thank you for reminding me how great that was. Putting it in now :)

Trying to explain aircraft accidents is hampered because the sample size is so small (literally anecdotal they are so infrequent), so making "inferences" about general rules from this is really unlikely to work. However, the psych

Yes I think that's one lesson: the risk of pursuing additional funds was not allowed to discount the utility of the 600. Perhaps if risk (say 10% success of more involved raise) were accounted for the 600 would have been more like 60,

I guess the risk is higher in London because the funding pool is smaller, so if it goes to pot there's less places to turn, tho well done for getting all those commitments. What is your relationship with the funders now? Is there anywa

Agree. It was great subversive announcement and marketing. All of our objections were encapsulated (horrible, terrible, oh no) and lightly dispatched. It was very skill full writing. Also the comments on this thread really work.

I did the same thing when I was 26. I'm 31 now and I don't really care. One contributor is that I feel lucky I didn't get "tracked" when I was in my 20s. I had time to explore the world and take in a lot of experien

It's a good overview. I'm thinking about it now :) Examples 3 and 4 are very neat. And they do make sense as a way to have a pipeline operate on a range of values which may or may not have resolved yet. They promise consistency re

If it's any consolation, I also dislike promises, though I don't know that much about them. I feel they don't solve the problem they set out to solve, "callback hell" or cleanly interleaving async and sync code toge

This post provided interesting reading, and I think the focus on protecting the credibility of the karma system from fraud is an important one. I don't think those charts show any evidence at all of cheating. I also don't think th

I really think this is simply a tactic to consolidate market position, by creating a monopoly and artificial scarcity, by raising the barriers to entry on what is otherwise apparently not very defensible tech. "Don't use it until

I think what I'll end up doing is just creating a minimal set, with headers, lists, links, forms, inputs and tables for layout and maybe a few more, and that will have to do. I'll try to compose the HTML so that even if, say, tabl

Thanks for that link. Interesting. I love going back to the first days of the web. Which is a weird thing to have collective nostalgia about because it's still so young, even tho it's so big. I was really surprised that dl, dt and

That is funny about the licenses. I guess 20+ banks was finally enough. The funniest name to me is Yuanta -- because it looks like "big money." I've heard it said the reason for relatively more banks is because ethnically Ch

As the Stoics did. Look into your basis for this feeling. What are the assumptions behind it? I'd say one assumption of it is, "I don't actually have any power to determine my X". X in whatever you choose, in this case &
