May I ask why Go was picked as the implementation language?

I'm not sure that whether the individual believes there is a reward is relevant.

Example: atheist terrorists -- atheistic suicide bomber, say -- would be heroic because they don't believe there is a reward?

Why do you find the Aeropress inconvenient to clean? I just dump the "hockey puck" of grounds into the trash. IMHO it's easier than a french press by a long shot.

You're aware of core.typed? If not, take a look -- it provides type checking / induction on Clojure code.

We switched from DO to Linode a few months ago. I think DO is great, but three things convinced us to move over to Linode. 1) lack of robust logging, 2) we'd get intermittent connectivity problems about once a month (this was in the SF colo), and 3) backups were unreliable, and support didn't really have a good answer as for why the backups were so unreliable. You can send me an HN message if you want more details.

Yeah, I was surprised by the fact that such a short duration of exercise (11 minutes of exercise twice / week) could have such a large impact on health. I wish there were more details on how much exercise each group had before the study -- my question is whether HIT on its own is good enough, or does it require normal exercise as well?

My cofounder and I were rejected by YC last year. YC provided great feedback, and we took it into consideration, but decided we still thought the idea was solid. We kept looking for funding and eventually found an accelerator that specialized in education startups (co.lab), and it turned out to be better for us in every way -- better terms, better ongoing support, so on and so forth. So, it's actually good that we were rejected.

I would definitely apply to YC again, though. Even if you're rejected it's still 10 minutes of concentrated feedback from smart, experienced people, which is always worth something.

Ideally you'd want to make it adaptive based on a variety of economic metrics -- set it to a particular level, watch the effects on the economy, and then adjust for the next year.

That could be caused by the routing, as well, though -- are the servers in the same approximate geographical location?

Not free, but I would suspect that paying electronically is at least a magnitude less impactful on the environment. That checkbook had to be produced, shipped to the bank, mailed to you, and then the individual check has to get moved around as well.

Convenience, mostly -- with an electric kettle you can just hit a button and when it pops back it's ready. Also, if you happen to get involved with something and forget about the kettle, it's not a big deal; not so with the stove.

Of course, the other possible conclusion from positing that drugs == fast food is that drugs should be legal.

I think Psyco was a separate code base, and not an actual progenitor of PyPy.
