it's a 429 error, so the developer who posted this is an idiot. they're not even wrong. the 429 doesn't even touch twitter's infrastructure. the HTTPS TLS terminates at a Google VM, which gets relayed depending on the VIP used to hit it, but the traffic never gets past that Google VM. This is literally /HOW/ companies deal with DDOS.

it's unbelievable that my median salary for the past decade is $3,000 after several years of "Startup" followed by "How to Start a Reboot of My Life"

Yeh, except you're completely wrong. I tried to point this out below. It's not even a DDoS, it's fake news.

on (B) you're correct. I tried to post this above but it got flagged quick.

I think the answer is clear: go off grid and hunker down after pilfering a 2-year supply of unregulated popcorn memes. I too seem to be coming down with a mild case of existentialitus

This is part two of a series on International Trends that will dominate the 2020's, but involves a bit of speculative futurism. Next up: Space, Transnationalism and Experimental Governance in the Post-Westphalian era.

There's some invaluable analysis into economic trends here, by the way. So if you're <ahem> responsible for investment strategy, there's some good ideas here, but they need data and lots of vetting.

And i've known for some time that LE agencies in general collect "lead" information in this way, which would be otherwise inadmissible in court. However, doesn't this violate the 4th amendment? Depending on the degree to which it is used, of course.

uh if it's so secret, then why allow outside agencies to use the equipment? FBI should only provide an interface 4 local LE

yes, but if you entangle brain particles with a series of flux capacitors ...

there should be one set of diffusion imaging scans in there. as for the strength, I'm not sure.

hey! yeh, everything's going well. the scans were done to help diagnose some things about 2 years ago. nothing turned up in the scans though.

thanks for tweeting me earlier. i had no idea this was on Hacker News! lol

I don't think we need to scan 100% of the brain in molecular detail in order to read & preserve the information. It should be possible to observe the circuitry at a higher level and recreate an approximation -- though it'd be just that, an approximation. Additionally, much of the information could be compressed to a much more lightweight format than digitizing the physical neural networks of the brain.

Digitizing a static physical model of the brain is problematic in itself. Many regions and structures in the brain are likely structurally dynamic. That is, the neural circuitry could change structure from day to day and this is definitely true over longer timescales. So it'd be much easier to read the data from the brain into another format rather than emulate the physical structure of the hardware.

I've thought a bit about information could be read from MRI scans such as these. In the absence of higher resolution data, I don't think there could any memories retrieved. I don't know the low-level details of how MRI data is encoded, but I do know it is recorded in slices. To retrieve memories, you'd need to read 3D regions from the brain. And it'd need to be much more high-resolution.

hmmm, good point. i think the copyright issue would be fairly complicated here ... and you'd need a good lawyer basically. it'd likely hinge on how you constructed the argument.

Also, I wanted my brain to be online in a widely distributed, public manner. In case of robot apocalypse of course. Hopefully, a quantum computer in the future would have low-bandwidth write access to my brain in the past. Quantum mechanics. Then I would be one of the earliest widely-distributed, targetable maps of a human brain on the public internet. And the people of the future could avert a worldwide AI disaster by pinging memories directly into layers of my brain. A la Steins;Gate, if haven't seen it, you should.

Anyways....

For the record, i wanted to post my brain online for many reasons. First of all, I did it for science of course. It'd be great for more of this data to be available online for people to study and work with.

There are many anonymized datasets available on Radiopaedia. http://radiopaedia.org/ I've spent quite a bit of time studying neurological conditions on that site and on wikipedia. Those are more useful, but anonymized. I'm not sure that there are many healthy MRI datasets available there, which makes it more difficult to statistically model MRI data.

I'm hoping to use Nipy and Dipy to create visualizations of my brain. In particular, i'm hoping to recreate some of the Diffusion Tensor Imaging work in this talk by Ariel Rokem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdrSZtB0uX0. However, i'm not sure if my DT images are high enough resolution.

I also did it for philosophical reasons. I believe that all digitized information past and present will be inevitably become known & public post facto. It's the nature of information & knowledge in our technological world to distribute itself until the world converges on total information omnipresence. So if, in the end, all [digitized] information is known, then there is no point in hiding information. This is more of a philosophical viewpoint though. obviously it's impossible for all information to converge in this way.

But this is true even of our own minds. And if our mind can be digitized from our brain, this also has interesting security implications. If you've seen the show stitchers, then you know what i mean.

Under no circumstances was this done in the name of art.

it was in the name of science, of course! i'm pleasantly surprised to see some of the discussions on here, concerning copyright and health data ownership. =]

i was aware of the privacy implications. i briefly looked at the data in osirix that i would be exposing and decided that it was worth it.

well, it was this, but it seems splice.com has beaten me to the punch. so now i'm working on a new idea, but it's also very fun to work on.

there's much pressure for an early exit, either IPO or acquisition. if i'm passionate enough to start a company, i want to remain in creative control.

that said, i would be very discerning on funding sources because i don't want the quick exit.

the startup ideas i've been most committed to are the ones i'm passionate enough to invest a decade in.
