I would have really liked to have a temporary node to test the outputs. Better than that, I would have liked to see the truth table update in real time without running the tests.

If our government was elected based on a "one person one vote" principle, Republicans would be nearly guaranteed to lose the presidency and Congress.

They are playing a game to win the electoral college, expect if it were popular vote they would play a different game with different policies

I want to respectfully disagree. Being present in the moment is not a result of valuing attention, but instead about letting the conversation about the past and the future go. About dropping the fears that were created in the past; the same fears that have us worry about the future. It's about letting go of fears and expectations. Letting go of the meaning we assign to the past and future. About really choosing the perspective that we wish to view the present through, rather than being at the effect of the stories we make up about the past and future.

This doesn't make sense to me. They're assuming that brightness is a continuous function that you can keep dividing in half over and over and result in a real number, but brightness is not continuous, at a certain point you only have one photon left. It stops being a question of how many photons per second and becomes a question of how many seconds between a photon.

It would be best if the thumbnails were bigger, and I could read a description of the visualization without leaving the page. I perceive opening the link as fatiguing.

Maybe a biweekly email featuring a visualization would be neat too.

I created a method similar to this one for curve extrapolation based on sample curves. I took the second derivative of each point on the training data, added it's contributions to a vector field.

To extrapolate, you can take 'position' and 'velocity' of live data and integrate over the vector field to produce an extrapolation. I enjoyed the project and it worked fairly well. I think there's plenty of room for extension around this method.

Here are the things that lead to my startup's success:

Identify and engage a big enough channel that will sell your product for you.

Build the product that they want. You build what they want, and they'll enthusiastically sell it for you.

I think it would be hugely beneficial to allow people to code with both text and the visual interface. LabView has a graphical editor as well, for bigger projects, it would have been nice to have both formats available.
