When I went to university in the late 90's we saw the same thing. CS degrees were so hot that they rationed entry into the program where I went. Fast forward to 2001 and you have the dot-com bust.

Yes, technically men cheat a little more than women, according to studies that aren't done by dating companies.

But the 'why' is varied. It's illogical to say "they cheat because they are more likely to cheat". They cheat because of many factors, but according to surveys, they cheat more often out of a need for physical satisfaction, while women cheat more out of a need for emotional or intimate satisfaction.

As far as need for online services to help? That's completely dependent on the person, again. True, women get hit on more often & indiscriminately, so they'd have more choice. But they also can't necessarily get the emotional satisfaction they're looking for, so that narrows the field. Men just need to be attractive enough to get laid, which again definitely depends on the man.

As a side rant: Assuming sex and gender were considered about the same, gender inequality is a function of gender differences. In other words, it's not only inevitable, it's normal. Women request [and should get] special care for breastfeeding/pumping, maternity leave, they have higher incidences of breast and ovarian cancer, they naturally have less muscle and are shorter on average, etc etc. These aren't controversial statements, and yet, they show simple examples of how women are different, and in some cases should be treated different in order to provide care. How would one make these differences "equal" among the genders? (obviously sex isn't gender, but clearly there's more cis-women than trans-women)
I think we should stop overthinking food. I think this is one of the single biggest problem we have regarding our health.

I'd argue that as long as someone has no eating disorder (lucky you), eat whatever you want whenever you want and I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

The problem is rather that almost everyone seems to have some kind of eating disorder. If you can't stop eating or hate to eat (because of time, because of your self image or whatever), that's a different problem then the question what's healthy and what not. Eating healthy won't fix the eating disorder. But thinking too much about what you are suppose to eat, when you are suppose to eat and how much makes it arguably much more likely to develop a eating disorder.

One conclusion from this is that okay, since degrees don't seem to help with job prospects then just do an apprenticeship or other program straight to industry. I kind of like that idea but I am worried that people are still looking for people who get their degree as a signal that they could do all the things required to get that degree.

And you'll have to keep doing it after every Windows update. Is Windows 10 really that good to be worth the trouble?
Crash-only is rather different from power cycling. The unit of granularity in a crash-only metaphor is at a higher level (process, thread, green thread or other schedulable entity), the whole point being that you delegate to a supervisor tree for restarting crashed subtasks/processes to a known good state while maintaining the uptime and integrity of the entire system (i.e. crashes are not typically user-visible). It works really well because in any complex system running on top of so many layers, the state space expands combinatorially so that performing intricate error diagnosis and recovery procedures will often be a losing proposition from the number of code paths you'd need to properly exercise.

Power cycling is different. A system that expects you to power cycle often because it consistently fragments or cannot dynamically update/reread its configuration is broken and a major annoyance. In many ways, systems that require lots of power cycling are as such because they're designed in a way antithetical to crash-only. It's a failure to enforce boundaries and separation of concerns.
>I think most of it is actually obvious.

I somewhat disagree. It may be "obvious" to well-informed HN readers. However, I don't think food nutrition is obvious to a significant portion of the population. Proof of this is how the food industry advertises and labels their products to take advantage of buyers' ignorance:

-- orange juice with labels saying that it's "fortified with extra vitamins and calcium". (Many people will associate oj with positive connotations of "fruit", and the vitamin supplement is a bonus. Result: unsophisticated buyers think of oj as "healthy" when it's really concentrated sugar water that will contribute to obesity and tooth decay.)

-- lean cuisine "low-fat" microwave dinners with a "heart healthy" icon on the box. (Naive buyers see the "low fat" as a signal for "healthy" but don't realize that manufacturers have to amplify the taste by adding lots of salt. The heavy carbs in those meals are also controversial.)

-- granola bars and "energy" bars. (The packaging has pictures of active hikers, bicycle riders, mountain climbers, etc. Some granola bars even prominently feature "fiber" as a benefit. The ignorant don't realize that these snacks are really glorified "candy bars" with clever marketing to lessen the guilt trip of eating a stick of sugar.)

-- fat free yogurt. (They took out the fat but now the yogurt has lots of sugar, which is another form of calories, which most people won't burn off, which then gets stored as fat anyway.)

-- photographs of celebrities with milk mustaches shown on billboards and magazine ads and associated slogans like "milk does a body good!". (Those ads are promoted by the dairy industry and it's questionable whether it's healthy for adults to drink milk.)

-- USDA food pyramid. (The uneducated don't realize that the USDA (and hence the chart) is influenced and manipulated by the meat & dairy industries. Because the nutrition advice is officially published by the government and plastered all over school walls, it feels authoritative. Naive consumers don't realize that if the food pyramid was designed by nutritionists not financially linked to meat & dairy, they would place vegetables as highest priority.)

For the consumers that get exposed to nutrition information in a passive way, they really don't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods. There's so much misinformation and manipulation that the American consumer is less knowledgeable about what's healthy than the African bushmen eating wild berries and hunting antelope.

My first thought was chemical as well due to the recent series of articles about DuPont's use of the surfactant C8[0] and how they continued to use it for fifty years after knowing that it caused major problems in humans and was leaking into the environment[1]. This chemical is now ubiquitous, it's in everybody, and it's an endocrine disruptor, meaning that it screws with living systems that are controlled by hormones, and it does so in very small doses.

There are literally thousands of unstudied, unregulated chemicals in industrial use in America. Chances are high that there are a number of them doing a number on us.

You'd need to look up the details, but I think the key derivation for WPA allows you to store a hash of the password. It's almost just as valuable, but technically means you don't have the plain password.
It's not really that hard. Open addressing + linear probing + magic value for deletions is something you can implement in 15 minutes if you know how hashmaps work.

Of course "cache friendly" is relative; any hashmap has pseudorandom memory accesses as a core part of its design so again, array scans will beat it below a certain number of elements.

We see a lot of stories on HN about how so many medical studies are false positives, because when you set up your analysis to yield 95% confidence, and most of your studies are on things that have no effect, the 5% false positive chance translates to a much higher false positive rate.

Active management is subject to the same thing. Everyone hammers on the idea that "past results do not guarantee future returns" but that's all anyone ever looks at, what with it being very difficult to observe the future. Some active managers will be successful simply by luck. They'll tout their results and get more customers from it. And then eventually their luck stops and they'll revert to the mean, minus their fees. Because of the proportions involved, lucky managers will heavily outnumber those who are actually good at it (if there are any).

Another facet of this problem is misaligned expectations about the PURPOSE of a degree. There seems to be an underlying assumption here that a university degree is nothing other than "job training".

Is a university degree basically a form of "Vo-tech school"?

That's what a lot of students and employers seem to think.

At the same time, many people do just fine in their careers after college even if they majored in English Lit or philosophy. Perhaps we should consider the possibility that "an education" is a separate thing from vocation training?
> Surely everyone in your neighborhood is not subsisting on Big Gulps and Twinkies.

It is indeed an educational problem. We teach good habits do kids, but old habits die hard, especially for parents who don't have the time or education to build effective meals.

How to Trigger PHPUnit on Save
<i'd love to see specific examples of what you are thinking about>

IANAL, but here goes:

In The Netherlands certain clauses in TOS ('algemene voorwaarden') are void by default when they are against a limited list written down in basis contract law. Another list of clauses are null when they are not unreasonably limiting. So any contract within Dutch jurisdiction is limited in that way.

A contract with X.com would not hit Dutch jurisdiction directly, although with a Dutch website / translation and perhaps a Dutch office you easily come into reach.

Examples: You cannot be held to TOS that are not willfully handed to you. (So no tiny signs in stores, or hidden on websites. Exact translation obviously ambiguous.) Changes in pricing, especially early in the contract, usually give the right to cancel the contract. Should be able to cancel contracts anyways. Should deliver timely, and cannot contract 'untimely delivery'.

Still, daresay that contract law on the internet in the Netherlands is not a big field of litigation. For one thing, our damages are usually only 'true (financial) damages'. So in the context of (nearly) free products, you hardly get any litigation. Class action is limited, too.

Example here: consider a webshop that cancels your order after a discount gets too popular. You could probably demand fullfillment, since they could easily deliver from other retailers at a loss. But considering the costs of litigation are many times the difference in price, most people resign upon ordering elsewhere. Can't even say I regret that injustice, since the benefits of not clogging the judicial seem large enough.
Regarding your points 1) to 4) this is exactly what I mean with investing some effort to discover how these things work in Linux. For 1) there are LibreOffice and gnumeric, for 2) there are mplayer, vlc, and several other tools, for 3) I don't know because Linux is not a gaming system but a workhorse. A modern Ubuntu distro provides thousands of applications for many purposes. If you don't like Unity or Gnome 3 then there are Kubuntu, Xubuntu etc. Google is your friend.

Learning Linux is like learning LaTeX. It requires serious effort to become powerfully useful but then you never want to miss it because there is nothing that can actually compete.

OSX and Windows are easier to handle at the first place but if you get into the details then you may have more trouble than in Linux (driver problems, document formats) because there is no obsolescence in Linux. In OSX and Windows you depend on the cooperation of the manufacturers. In Linux drivers, applications, and document formats written decades ago still work.

I replied to someone claiming that Canada was in "huge trouble". It isn't in huge trouble. You have provided conjecture, but the truth is that it's exactly the same conjecture we've been hearing for around 15 years. By that reasoning, Canada has always been in huge trouble.

Most commodity prices are doing superbly (oil is an outlier). Food prices are at all time highs. Canada's economy has faced far more of a disruption from normal globalization and mega companies shifting production elsewhere, than any hewer or wood miner of minerals disruption. It will always face threats and will always be adapting.
