Just go try it out?

the minimum criteria for something to have a rank (a guess)

beautiful and profound question

thinking of elephants stomping waves many miles... experience points to yes

The dymaxion projection of the globe is one of my favorites and is essentially what an unbroken singular peel/shell of an orange would look like, centered on the North Pole

you're a very kind person to create such a tool. is there a way to make it work offline so one could use it without an internet connection? just a thought -- it seems like it'd be a useful standalone program.

...continues straight to the moon :D

call it "adventure plumbing"

thinking from a purely vibrational point of view, maybe it's more-or-less the same punch because when one says "wom wom wom" or "nom nom nom" we're still getting similar propulsions in vibratory-space. +, the real tone is intention.

nobody expects the perennial revolution!

I read it as more of a "note to self..."

I reckon that would certainly affect the quality of the compositions. Unless, of course, 4-5 is the natural output of some monster writers.

Is this "supply chain" or "infrastructure?"

This is a good article and I disagree but in subtle and nuanced ways. For example, say that "overproduction of elites" did lead to the Civil War, well we can look to the FDR years and see that a progressive tax -- that successfully taxed the wealthiest at a rate that dissuaded concentration of wealth beyond a certain level -- actually helped: we made libraries and schools and public infrastructure in the US.

So while having too many "elites" (by which I assume "wealthy people" is meant), we have a storm brewing. Whether that storm rains daggers or flowers depends. More "elites" does not always result in more "political instability" or "declining living standards of the general population." Of course, this is often the case in almost every nation especially ones with concentrations of power AND concentrations of wealth.

A beautiful aspect of America is that power and wealth are not so tightly coupled as in other places. When the populous is educated and informed with quality information and ethics, we end up having power that is often at-odds with the aims of the wealthy who aim to preserve their wealth at the expense of the greater good, be it human education, or environmental protection and preservation, and matters of that ilk.

So while I do agree that "overproduction of elites" can be problematic, I do not agree that this is a uniquely American problem or issue. Rather, I contend that America, with our innovative and novel system (in the span of historical political apparati) is in the best position to combat this parasitical relationship the wealthiest of people can have on the majority of citizens. Other systems, such as communist systems or monarchical systems, are not as fortunate.

Also "money number go up" is -- as a sole motivator -- problematic. But this flippant verbiage dropped with much aplomb is not representative of the difficulties in merely surviving and having enough resources to do so. We, in this modern age, still indoctrinate our offspring and ourselves with a scarcity mindset, and while much of this brain power that goes from "physics to quants" would be better spent defeating scarcity, I find it peculiar that you did not offer up your own income or savings to fund such research and therefore offer to sustain those who are seeking sustenance through said career shift. Emblematic of the problem, I suppose.

Yeah maybe we can update the headline…

GitHub Wikis are legit and very useful! Not sure if you mean specific function documentation... Check out clojuredocs. I'm not sure what the backend is but the ability to quickly search and see related functions is really nice.

"Linux Phone"... music to my ears!

Hmmm great points. Is this a "call for mobile versions" of classic Linux programs in a way?

Ought government bodies be allowed to audit code to make sure there's no tampering of rankings ?

That sounds sensible and Scalia in the court said he didn't think such rules would make much difference. Still not happy about his call there.

Nice. Maybe version 2 can tell me which slice of pie is most tasty per calorie count

There are 2 kinds of subreddit: novices and oldhats. Oldhats hate being hawked to, but novices really enjoy any info. Ask oldhats what they use and why, what are the pain-points. For novices, offer free info that gently points towards your product. Redditors in general have an aversion to paying for stuff so use it more for knowledge and generating positive buzz by sharing valuable information.

Score Voting where candidates are given a score 0-99 transcends bicameralism when averages are taken, similar to scores in the Olympics. And it is the superset of all voting methods.

Are there any promising ideas for content creators other than Steemit?

I've always wondered how to make this useful in programming. With discrete mathematics (counting) I wonder what some relevant takeaways are. Do any experts have any examples of using this to make some headway on a research problem or coding exercise?

Are you using ML in your business now? Just wondering Thanks =)

Doomsday supply of rare electronics in order to satisfy warranties would be an amazing research project

>You don't know the result until you do the experiment.

Same reason you don't jump off a building to test gravity. There are better ways to test than irreparably derailing an economy by +not closing the inequality gap and +causing spikes of inflation any time you dish out money, proportional to how much you dish out

Web is its own beast -- even movie making software has to be learned, certainly true of new software domains. I'd recommend researching your tools thoroughly before diving in, and finally when you choose a few candidate tools try and build small prototypes in each that would become modular chunks of your main app. In this way you can evaluate which tools you'd like to use from some low-risk investment of time and effort, and walk away with clear tool commitment. Once you commit to a toolset, you can dive into development as much as your toolset accommodates expression and feedback. I'd recommend using something that has a REPL (Clojure/script with Selmer and even Python with Django have this) which is a way to get immediate feedback from changes in your code. The feedback loop in traditional web development is way too long to make responsive apps in a reasonable amount of time.

Definitely find forums for the tools you are using and ask questions in the beginners channels. No need to be embarrassed, if you've never held a cup it's not a big deal, it just takes time to learn how to hold one. Then time to walk to the river, then time to scoop some water into the cup. But eventually, piece by piece, you'll get a delicious drink that satiates, and you'll know how to fashion a cup even more cleanly for the next time(s) you need a new cup. Aha, at this point one can start seeing code reusability, state management via atomic actions through swaps, and functional approaches as fundamental to achieving incremental progress. Laying the foundation hardly looks like progress, but actual progress is impossible without an excellent foundation.

Seems really cool -- what's the unifying idea? It's gotta become my "go to" for some one thing. What is that one thing? My recommendations are: personal or public Journal; ability to make combination timelines with friends (photos/experiences) to "weave"; build it around location with a more tethered approach to specific zipcodes -- now you can host actual meetups via app; dive into the idea of clubs or groups. If it can become the "go to app" for some one thing, it could take off pretty quickly
