mind elaborating on why the angles can't be too weird? I thought it was odd that the angles given were all integers.
If I had unlimited amount of money, I would buy all the advertisement channels of the world and fill them with classical music. I would by all the billboards spaces and burn them to ground or if that is not possible, I will paint them sky blue with white fluffy clouds or camouflage them.

Just kidding (not really).

A bit more realistically, I would build an open source car company. I mean, a car which is 100% documented and documentation publicly available. with all the diagnostic tools and information how to use them available publicly.
Corporate logos are a slightly different kettle of fish to icons. Logos need to be designed so that their shapes work anywhere - from a screen to a billboard to a letterhead. Application icons just need to look good on a screen.

> Your mind shouldn't have to interpret colors, light sources, shading, depth

You have the cart before the horse here. Your mind already does that. There are lots of perceptual tricks that designers can use to enhance their work, all due to the way the visual system works. Certainly an icon can be too busy, but sometimes adding those items makes things easier to digest. For example, consider a 'buy' button that's a flat, single colour, versus one that has a gradient that makes it 'pop out' from the screen a little.
I don't care that much about fingerprinting. For example, the problems with navigator.plugins fingerprinting is small compared with the problems in the plugins themselves.
Most data you find on this will be very unreliable. Also, what is "JS"? Frontend? Backend?

If there even are answers to this question, they're not going to be good enough to base any decisions on.

Also, you left some of the most popular language: Java, C, C++, C#, PHP, etc. Python and Ruby are still niche languages compared to Java and C-family languages.

They made some bad technology bets. They bet that a low light camera sensor (ie low megapixel, it has 4 MP) would do better in the market than the high megapixel camera .... big, big mistake. Whatever the gain in low light, consumers want a high resolution photo they can crop.

A couple of years ago I met the guy who owns the company that manufacturers the phone lenses. A real genius. As he passionately talked about optics I was busy thinking to myself "your profits are doomed and you dont know it"
We have added in a secondary mode which does exactly this, offers a more traditional, even forceful feel, yet still uses about 60% less water than a regular shower.
Even forbidding killing isn't a natural law. In many societies it has been legal to kill slaves, animals, foreigners, gays, people who break the artificial laws, etc. So killing is often seen as good for society. No laws of property ownership, right to life, right to freedom, etc are natural. They're just things that some societies, sometimes have decided are worth restricting.
700-person sample size monitored for 1 week, and they didn't change their behavior during the study.

This is totally meaningless. You can't even draw meaningful correlation from a sample size and time period this small, and causation is absolute fantasy. Maybe healthy people stand more on their own? (Probably, actually)

How do you know the studies say those things if you don't read the studies?

Is nutrition bunk, or is reporting on nutrition just very bad?

There's a bunch of things that make nutrition science weird:

1) everyone feels free to talk about it as if they know what they're talking about. You see this on HN. You see this on any forum. But you also have frauds like "Dr" Gillian McKieth (once popular TV / book nutritionist) who put out vast quantities of bullshit information.

2) huge multinational companies engage in well-funded dis-information campaigns to discredit scientists. They do this to avoid increased prices through taxation.

3) science reporting is almost entirely terrible. Those studies don't usually make these grandiose claims. Idiot news paper reporters make the grand claims.

4) researchers can't run real experiments. Most of the science comes from self-reported uncontrolled case studies. Of course it's not going to be as good as a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Tell HN: Thanks HN and I am starting my first journey to startups
Hi HN,

When I first encountered HN, I was only interested in finding safe job and work there, no big ambitious no risks, no web dev experience, no "cool" projects, no cool projects, only C/C++ code, drivers and etc, I still consider myself young (hell I am 26 and I worrying I can loose myself if I don't make a step/risk now).

History:After surfing here for a while, finally decided to open an account. Surfed a lot, read a lot, excitement and so on. At some point I lost my interest in reading all of the front page stories.

What I got? Motivation to start my own, I am from developing country, no big investment rounds for IT companies (I don't even heard any of them except 1 in 10years, maybe enterprise IT companies do investment). But I searched a lot, surfed a lot, finally I found an idea which I want to start just now.

I am only worrying about investment, I will do most of the technical things by myself, but I will definitely visit silicon valley for an investment (probably I will something from my assets :) )

HN changed my mind from avg.young.joe.salarymen to young.aspiring.entrepreneur.mindset, probably after a while I am hoping to be an .entrepreneur.with.own.company.

Wish me good luck. After finishing I will visit most talked tech country called Silicon Valley :)
dan and snake, thanks for your comments. We decided to launch on Kickstarter because we wanted to gauge what the interest level among consumers would be. Furthermore, KS is the best place to gather significant quantities of feedback on product features and finishing touches before going to mass production. Our decision to raise funds on KS is more about learning from our backers and gauging initial interest than anything else.
I hope they don't scrap it - or maybe spin it off or something.

Any idea why they decided to use string-based queries for GraphQL?

I feel something that can be composed programmatically without having to deal with string concatenation like Falcor's queries or the Datomic Pull syntax proposed in Om Next [1] could be more flexible and robust. I may be missing something.

Like the idea of writing it down too. Hopefully once things settle down.

The one thing that the unit of "degrees" has going for it is that it tends to give integer answers (because 360 is so divisible). If you convert them into rotations around a circle, they angles become (1/6, 3/8, 7/24, 1/4, 5/12). (Multyply those by τ=2π to get the angle in radians).

EDIT:

To your question as to why angles can't be to weird, consider vertices, where the corners of the pentagons meet. Each vertex is composed of three angles, one from each of the three neighboring vertices (although it is not a-priori obvious that a vertex contains only three angles). The sum of these angles (in rotations) must be 1. This means that, heuritstically, you would want as many permutations of the angles as possible to add up to one.
> I don't see how you can dispute that having a large part of your net worth in a single stock leaves you vulnerable if anything happens to it.

Aye, it's not a diverse investment. Especially if you consider your employment a form of investment.
So given the Fed 30% solar subsidy is set to expire at the end of 2016, have you modeled (or know of a model) that shows when the price of solar will crossover the loss of subsidy?

I.e. I'm trying to figure out if going solar now is better (in California) or just waiting a few more years. I'm in no particular hurry since my electric bill vs. sq/ft is already pretty good.
I own an htc one. HTC has made many mistakes, the camera was not one of them. All photographers know that the amount megapixels do not correlate with a good picture.

In fact back when the HTC one was first released ,reviewers hailed it as the best phones in the market.
In my personal case I am not sure if it didnt end up 'bad' for me. The first language I've learned was 6502 ASM on C64 (and learned is a word of many degrees here, I can't say I've written anything serious in it, ever) and for some reason I've been struggling with many other languages for years to come after that - tried Perl, PHP, C, AmigaE, without being able to grasp any of those. Until I've met Python, that in few days took me from ground to the stratosphere (which today again looks like a ground, but that's a different subject). And even then, old habits of counting cycles and thinking about what the hell is the language doing made me to prematurely optimize my code (like doing 'while 1' instead of 'while True' because in 2.7 True is simply a variable, what means the interpreter will have to check its value first and that means lost CPU cycles, and lots of other things that made sense in 6502 ASM) instead of getting it to do shit ;) It took me a while to 'unlearn' those habits and to simply enjoy the language in its own form.
Watch it.
Of course... but I think the guys at Facebook are right in that getting something out is better than just talking about it alone. Also, the community will probably come up with something that's a bit more lean/understandable in the end.

Look at the progression of flux talks, to a desire for isomorphic js (with flux), to fluxible app from yahoo, flummox, fluxor, alt.. and finally we get Redux, which is actually quite lean and a fairly clean abstraction with almost no boilerplate. Though arguably you can do a lot of it with RxJS alone.

I wouldn't surprise me that within two years we see something similar happen regarding Relay and GraphQL... for that matter, it wouldn't surprise me to see implementations that target specific database back ends easily. IE, you establish your object schemas, associate them to your db collections/tables, and establish filters based on client permissions. API/Service toolkits for data access using the protocol in question not the specific implementation necessarily.
The co founder who split is of the opinion that everyone can continue to work on the idea regardless. But I think that's mostly to avoid him having to pay for our efforts/pay us to leave.

But most consumers aren't photographers. They've been led to believe after many years of intensive marketing that megapixels are the only metric for a "good camera" on a phone.
(Before Uber came to the country—it currently operates in Jeddah and Dammam, in addition to Riyadh—women relied on private drivers (if they could afford them) or [limo companies]

If Saudi is anything like other Middle Eastern countries I have visited, taxis and motor rickshaws are very common.

Of course the elephant in the room is that neither Uber, nor taxis are a real solution to the driving prohibition. So I wouldn't go overboard patting Uber on the back.
I thought of it, but ignoring it is not an option. Assuming both companies are unequally successful, spiteful actions are very likely in the future.

> Sure, carefully reviewing all the reports would be ideal, but it also means you'll need many employees to do that. And I don't really see why Oracle should be responsible for educating customers about basic security practices.

Because if they don't, stuff like this happens: they get blamed for any trivial data breach that happened through some of their programs -- even if the problem wasn't that it sucked, it was that the password was admin123.

It's not glamorous and we can all agree that, as long as we're talking about responsible users, it shouldn't be Oracle's job to do this kind of education. However, exploiting users' ignorance is an integral part of their business model; they're consciously targeting them -- it's up to them to deal with all the consequences that brings.

> I guess it's trivial what you say about calorie deficit but the trick is how to not devour that tasty something that you know is there in your fridge when your plan to eat less for a few seconds is only your second priority.

Running applications also have labels. For example, your web browser may be running as firefox_t. Type enforcement simply allows you to specify what application label can access what resource label. In the most simple terms SELinux lets you allow an application to do something with a resource:

allow firefox_t user_home_t : file { read write };

This simply allows your web browser, running as firefox_t to read and write files in your home directory, labeled as user_home_t.

Increased work for the prof should of course be balanced by decreasing work somewhere else. How many courses could have (some or all) video lectures recorded beforehand and assigned to watch as homework, thus saving the teacher lecture time and allowing the students who need extra help (and who otherwise would slow the whole class down by interrupting non-video lectures) to visit during office hours, or ask during a smaller lecture Q/A time slot of normal class, and point out exactly what parts of the recorded lecture they struggled to follow? And those who don't speak up their questions will get frequent feedback on their misconceptions anyway from the optional tests and determine if they should try harder or just drop the course.
If I could install solar today I would, regardless of cost (apartment living prevents it). That may sound crazy, but I theorize that when you consider externalities the cost of grid electricity already far exceeds the cost of solar. It's going to cost humanity a whole lot of money to both survive and fix the damage we're dealing to the environment today. I'd rather pay more now for solar, than pay through the nose later for the environmental equivalent of a triple bypass surgery.

I doubt others see it that way, so I guess I'll pay the cleanup cost later like everyone else regardless. Such is the human condition.

In this case, (with the hindsight of knowing the answer), it would probably be easier to enumerate the angles, as they were all rational multiples of pi (with the biggest denominator being 12). Still, that gives a naive 5^144 combinations of angles to test. If you reduce this to proper, reduced fractions this comes down to 5^47 [1]. You can probably improve on this further by requiring that the angles form a (convex) polygon, but I suspect that still leaves you with to many to be practical.

What are those exactly? Docker seems to me more like a userland glue for kernel based containers, and since it's starting to support FreeBSD Jails, I dont see why again it has to lead to Linux only, instead to FreeBSD OR Linux (or anything else supported by libcontainer for that matter). The main point is, Linux is not the only thing, and talking like that reinforces that incorrect point of view in other unaware people. Technology diversity is extremely important and cool thing.
To quote the parent to your comment: "Natural laws are laws that any rational nation would arrive at..."
Thanks for pointing out this analogy. It really helped in ordering my own thoughts. In essence it expresses my thoughts.

The only problem is, if I associate (within a smallish group) with someone who is an very outspoken idiot, this association might taint my reputation. If I am grouped with this person within a relatively big group (male, female, white, black, human, mammal) this does not happen.

Personally I am trying to find the boundary that makes a group big enough, that these kinds of associations do not happen anymore.
less PR-ish article on the same subject:

"http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-saudi-women-ri...

mentions an important point for the popularity of the taxi-hailing apps:

"And she didn’t want to deal with the negative comments she would face if she tried to hail a cab in the conservative kingdom, a woman using public transportation on her own is often seen as lacking morals."

...

"... no one can tell she isn’t using a private car."

Another interesting point :

"There is no law prohibiting women from driving in Saudi Arabia, but there are fatwas, or religious edicts issued by conservative Muslim clerics. As a result, the government won’t grant women licenses."
Horrible. This is what's so scary about the free market and our current chemical regulations of innocent until proved guilty.

People cover up, even the biggest most "professional" here (DuPont), and the public gets decades of abuse.

Why is it that medication requires FDA approval with lots of animal/human tests before you can sell it, but chemicals do not? Here the tests internally done showed prove of issue year after year, and would have been a big red flag.
That would seem to justify the commonly done separation of project courses from non-project courses. It's not a great idea to lump the two together, nearly always one or the other suffers if the project is non-trivial. But even then one can suffer, it's just spread out across all classes instead of the individual class. Project courses are tricky to integrate into a curriculum well.

Here's the study, despite the fact that the article didn't bother to cite it:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26101624

Seems to me that this study is almost entirely useless for forming the basis of any kind of diet or lifestyle advice because:

It was done over 4 weeks. Almost all controlled diet studies are conducted over short periods of time and are therefore useless as the basis of any long term lifestyle advice (if you want to make any difference to your long-term weight you need to make changes that span years, if not the rest of your life). This is almost inherent in diet studies, because most participants won't accept these kinds of things (skipping breakfast) or even eating a particular diet for long enough periods of time. Imagine as a participant being asked to skip breakfast for 2 years in order to give a decent study length. They're either going to refuse to participate, or have a significant chance of failing to comply with the requirements. This is the reason that so many long-term diet studies are observational (i.e. uncontrolled, just looking at what people do naturally). And observational studies can't be used to determine causality (did people who skipped breakfast lose weight, or were lighter people more likely to skip breakfast, for example).

The study is tiny. n=36 is right on the cusp of being so small as to not have any kind of statistical significance. Further, statistical significance is not the same as a significant effect. The effect size in this study is small. The n is small. So how can you use this as the basis for refuting an existing body of evidence? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This study does not qualify to invalidate the existing scientific consensus.

They did indeed collect body composition data. Have a look at the following table:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4473164/table/ta...

Now it might just be me, but it looks like what the no-breakfast group lost was fat-free mass. But then I would have thought the mean for fat-free mass and fat mass should add up to the overall mean for body weight, which it doesn't. So either I'm missing something or there's an error in the table.

Finally, check out "researcher degrees of freedom":

http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/publishing-fals...

Overall, a tiny, weak study, with a single slightly statistically significant result being blown out of all proportion. Such is the state of science reporting these days.

Hmm, I feel like you took my thought to the most extreme view possible.

I was thinking more along the lines of: notification at 6 month mark, list of things we're doing to ensure smooth operation. I wouldn't expect issues at that point especially since everyone joined a start-up, they know it's not going to have money for years of operation. Then update people when you check off the items on the list that you said you were working on, good or bad. Not any more frequent than that. Depending on the amount of money it may be a good time to start about some minor culling if possible.

At month 3 you probably want to start culling employees so you can stay afloat longer should things not pan out. This way you can stretch out your life for far longer than waiting to cull at 2 or 1 month.

At least those are my thoughts. Nothing like "guys we failed, new update tomorrow morning!". Then again I haven't run a start-up; only have been part of a few. That just makes sense to me I don't know what works best in practice.
