I don't think the article was trying to claim that the population there is genetically different. I read the Karelia passage as arguing that people all over the world have developed fantastically aggressive immune systems that will activate in response to gluten if not given a better target, such as the fecal born pathogens common in Karelian life.
None of it. I was commenting on the implications of the information that the article presented.

However, particularly with that line about twitter, it seems to imply that modern methods of communication are more about confirmation than discussion. In particular the article's point about how much is lost in text-based communication. If I state an unpopular opinion, someone reading it might very well fill in the "blanks" with the picture and voice of a pimply 14 year old, which would allow them to more easily dismiss said opinion. I think it would be interesting to more closely examine how prevalent such projective behavior is on message boards.

My personal experience has (unfortunately) been people will almost always stick to their guns online, even after their perspectives have been thoroughly and undeniably refuted, even after their own allies tell them they've lost. Best case scenario they'll lose composure completely and look like a fool rather than admit defeat. In person, however, people will often admit that an opponent may have a point and other such courtesies. While there is an argument to be made that this is all superficial courtesy, it would also stand to reason that in person an opponent has less room to rationalize, and can detect things like passion, enthusiasm, or level-headedness that are impossible to deny. These traits could lend subconscious credence to an opponent's argument.

Basically I just want to take the researchers' findings on text-based communication and examine the issue in greater detail.
They're not system crash but application crash, both are reported on MacOS X. So no, Flash didn't crash the OS, only apps like Safari, Firefox or Chrome. Isn't it enough ?
I think the current economic environment has been distorting pretty much every aspect of the software industry. I think that the next tech bubble will be both an economic crisis and a technological crisis.

Too much engineering effort has been wasted on overhyped ideas/technologies. This is true for both the consumer and b2b/high-tech sectors. Everybody is focused on growth and nobody is willing to invest time to refactor their increasingly complex systems/achitectures (no one cares about running costs) - So instead, we just cram all this inefficient mess inside Docker containers, hook up hundreds of expensive and unecessary external services to it and then we legitimize this huge pile of expensive junk by calling it a microservices architecture!

... And then a startup will hire a team of 100 engineers to maintain something which should otherwise only require 10 engineers.
What?! Subtleties to the subject?! Don't talk crazy, now! /s

Url changed from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/28/google_says_flash_ad..., which points to this.
The point is not whether or not there will be a downturn. In any sector, there will be a downturn ... eventually. That's just capitalism. (And it could be triggered in the short term by something like the small reasons you mock - it is merely not wise to bet your shirt on one or the other being the exact proximate cause.)

The point according to OP is that the start-up scene has become soft and flabby, and lean times, whenever they arrive and for whatever reason, will toughen it up - and for those who can survive the initial chill winds, lower costs of labour, real estate etc will provide a boost.

>"Here’s the lesson: Adaptation to a new food stuff can occur quickly — in a few millenniums in this case. So if it happened with milk, why not with wheat?"

Maybe because not being able to digest milk affected the procreation rate more than irritable bowel syndrome.

If my understanding of evolution is correct, the whole idea of adaptation as used in this article is a bit misleading. We the species don't adapt to anything unless it kills us before we the individuals can procreate.

The article goes on mixing up benefits and drawbacks to individuals and benefits and drawbacks to us as a species. Each individual either does or does not have the genes against specific deadly pathogens. Eating more or less wheat doesn't change that. So if someone suffers from gluten intolerance, avoiding it doesn't hurt.
Ok, so for arguments sake it's a persistent form builder rather than anything really to do with building things for databases?

Comparing data from different countries is very tricky.
You don't know how the statistics define homelessness (they aren't consistent even in a single country), you don't know who they count or how they count them.
For example in Europe the homeless statistics do not count or do not count the migrant population very well (at least in some countries cannot say for NL).
Number of homeless at any given time is also not the only factor if a person in NL is homeless for average for 3 months and in the states for 6 or 1 it makes a bigger impact than the total number.

The UK for example is probably very very bad at counting homeless they don't even want to call them that they call it "sleeping rough" (people who actually sleep on the street and not in housing) here according to the official figures England has only 2414 (est. 2014) homeless people (at any given time). London apparently has only 400 or so homeless people at any given night and even by living in the 2nd most expensive borough in London i can easily go BS about it without the need to jump to east London.
That said if you are arrested and are put in holding for the night you don't count for the "sleeping rough" statistics so it's very easy to poison such statistics with even simple police enforcement.
Not claiming that the Dutch authorities are doing anything like that (although I've seen quite a few homeless people being picked up if they are in central Amsterdam) but playing with the numbers of people who "don't count" in the eyes of many is far too easy.

There's no doubt that the dutch social net is better, but large populations generate a large overhead it's always much easier to handle and provide social services to small population even at a fraction of the per-capita costs that the budgets of populated countries allow.
As I discovered while looking for targets of opportunity, the term of art is apparently "online video provider", or OVP (not "VPN" as I'd first written, thinking "video provider network".

Yes, there's collateral damage. I'll take it. If needs be, I'll hop into /etc/hosts and unblock for a moment.
Let's not forget for whom we work.

Replace the word startup with "that one inspired guy trying really really hard to accomplish something awesome who's personally asking you for help" and I think the post reads a bit differently. Like, do you buy their vision and feel the awesome vibes there? This rules out #5 and #6 and #8 as motivation. With what's on the line at startups, I doubt you'd even get an offer if they didn't think you were ready. This rules out #1 through #4.

Reason #7 seems more to me as reason for than against working for a startup. Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google... aren't places to go either to "solve real problems" as a designer.

Or am I missing something?
>>> You'll learn way more, move much faster, wear more hats.

That's true. However, you lose the 'have you thought about doing it in X way?' 'would have never thought of that' thing. There are advantages in wearing more hats but you absolutely must make sure that you constantly get some ideas from outside (blogs, friends, books, etc).

>>> if you have some talent because then he'll be afraid of you

If one engineer is afraid of other, that's an indicator of a toxic workplace. If it's the senior who's afraid because of someone much less experienced... He's probably not that senior anyway and definitely not a good mentor.

>>> If you have the energy and the talent you can run circles around the big guys.

It's not all black and white. Both have their pros and cons, as simple as that.
Google has forced me to use YouTube with the HTML5 player for months now. There isn't an option anywhere to switch back to the Flash player.

Well it's the chicken and the egg, you don't like Flash you block it, Google blocks it you have to deal with HTML5 now, it's the same thing as with Adblock...

People don't like ads they use adblockers, site revenues go down advertisers find new and even more invasive ways to display ads.
Wont be surprise if in a year or 2 how content will work is that all (actual) content on the site will be encrypted and encoded into and then decoded using JS and the only way to get the decryption key is to load and play trough the ad to the end. Heck with how cheap symmetric encryption is becoming on modern CPU's not to mention GPU's it won't cost that much to implement. The CDN runs the content, the CDN runs the ad's one doesn't fully load without the other...

You're moving the goal posts, from "lethal" to "painful with a small outside chance of death or permanent injury". For the throat and solar plexus I can't even find any serious indication of them causing deaths in healthy individuals, and a strike to the heart is only really deadly for children and young teenagers. Hell all of those except the rabbit punch are perfectly legal in most full contact martial arts competition and hardly have a history of causing death or even serious injury. A solid Muay Thai kick to the head as a greater chance of killing than a strike to the solar plexus, and thousands of those land in sporting events every day without incident.

Yeah, it's not 100%

It's almost certainly not even 1%. If your martial art teaches that a move is "deadly" and the move isn't a blood choke, then they are almost certainly at the very least greatly exaggerating.
This is good, but it really just skims the surface. Something these articles tend to miss is that sexual commodification doesn't necessarily favor men. On Tinder, it probably favors women. For a more in-depth explanation of why, see http://worst-online-dater.tumblr.com/post/114619524524/tinde...
A lot of homeless people in the south of Europe comes from the north. I heard a lot of them speaking polish, for instance. They are running away from the hard winters.

I suppose is the same case in Los Angeles.

So, maybe, the homeless people from the Netherlands are not in the Netherlands.

>If I didn't know that neural nets worked, and someone explained the idea, I'd strongly expect them to get stuck in local minima

This has been the general consensus (based on intuition) until recently. It turns out that it's not as big problem as tought. Almost all local minima have very similar error values. The bigger issue is combinatorially large number of saddle points where gradient becomes zero with very few downward curving directions. Saddle-free Newton method is one way around that.

Thank you. It was a mix on working on impactful stuff https://github.com/blog/1880-making-mysql-better-at-github, making an effort to work on more general issues like availability, having a culture that allowed me to be ambitious, and solid mentorship from our CTO.
Being an employee in the US can, in some cases, help preserve both your job and your employer-facilitated health insurance while you're sick. The company needs to have 50 or more employees for it to apply, IIRC, and you need to have worked there for at least a year. There are slightly more generous laws in some states. It's quite close to nothing, but still slightly better than nothing.

I definitely agree that employment (or lack thereof) should have nothing to do with health care.

"maybe we’ll be able to focus on the other things that contribute to this phenomenon: the ready access to guns and ammunition, for instance."

I guess I really don't get it. Why do women use Tinder when they could be using OkCupid?

It's literally 25-28% women and 72-75% men in the Bay Area. These are the numbers I got from scraping OkC profiles that had words in them. There are more college educated men than there are women. There are more masters+ graduated men than there are bachelor+ women.

Even in NYC, there is something like 60% men compared to 40% women (and I'm being generous here).

From anecdotal evidence, you are also much more likely to get a boyfriend as a girl than a hookup on OkCupid compared to Tinder.

I asked several girls why they use Tinder, and they basically tell me that it is because they think that by having an intercourse, they can get the guy to like them more, leading to an instant relationship. But why not just start with an instant relationship and not go through something you don't want to do?

That wasn't what Apple (Steve Jobs) claimed... [1]"Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, the world is moving to HTML5."
Also Flash doesn't crash Chrome, doesn't crash FF for ages either. No clue about Safari the quote was debunked by everyone, even Apple backtracked on it to a more "we meant Safari in certain cases" type of statement. we can all move along.

This is dressed up as a scientific paper, but Tumblr is not exactly a peer-reviewed journal, nor does this guy appear to be a formally trained scientist. Would be interesting to see similar analysis from a more credible source.
No, that's not sufficient. Since the observables are represented by self-adjoint linear operators on a Hilbert space which for some observables is infinite-dimensional, there is an infinite number of states for each particle, so Graham's numbers are insufficient.

As the wikipedia page mentions, physicists who work in the field and who believe there are hidden variables agree that experiments show these must be non-local.
Maybe women and men are not as different as you think? Maybe women like hookups just as much as men do, and it's our environment (society, "norms", tv, the fact that "slut" is an insult, &c) that makes you think otherwise?

Asking women is not the answer here, because you still go through that societal filter. Besides, rarely does someone know what they want, in the first place.

wrong thread :)
Get your shit together first. Get a job, any job to rebuild your confidence. Lack of enthusiasm or bringing emotional shit to work are ways to get fired, so leave that at the door and bring a solid attitude. These jobs are practice jobs to get back in the groove, so be on the look out for promotions and better gigs. (Just don't burn any bridges because it's a small world and that next seemingly "better" job might not be better.)

Then, save up a little coin and get a reasonably economical van, crash on a friend's couch or do whatever it takes to get back in the valley because going outside leads to lost income and fewer opportunities. Follow your passion and find a way to make a decent living at it. If you really want to do technical work at a nonprofit in a certain area, by all means, do that.

Renting, consumerism and ostentatious living like eating out all the time, going for coffee and activities like that are what will bleed you dry and keep you balance-sheet poor. Live cheap and don't be brow-beaten by the fools trying to rationalize their own indebtedness by mocking others that actually have an exit plan.

Good luck, never give up.
There's oxytocin effect after intercourse which literally helps to build the relationship between two intercourse partners, so they have a point.

Basically any AFK stuff is pushing it, and apt to be very invasive of privacy and truly Orwellian. The distinction I make is the NSA resides on the network and doesn't go much further than that. Is what they're doing Orwellian on the network? Possibly, but only insofar as I let them on my network. Who is to say I don't use secure meshnets? Who is to say I don't watch the watchmen?

I respect your thoughts on the matter, and the current narrative does suggest we are tending towards a 1984 panopticon, but this is also framed in the context of pervasive CCTV, and presumes that every citizen is glued to their smartphone. Measures like CCTV and smartphone tracking observe the citizenry and this means everyone is kept in line and the system works, so fair dues, this could be seen as 1984'ish. But again, only insofar as the citizen opts in. It is said we would prefer to be watched than go about our private business alone.

(And yes CCTV can be opt in, but that is a lot harder to achieve and ironically requires Google Maps hacking to pinpoint where key CCTV hotspots are)

TL;DR: I don't negate 1984'ish elements, I'm simply saying they are opt-in only, and not as bad as the current narrative suggests.

Just chiming in here, but it seems that your version of the feminist agenda puts little or no responsibility on women to actually choose.

It's all everyone else's fault.

Life isn't easy and difficult choices are a part of growing up, but, going against the grain brings with it a certain exhilaration. There is satisfaction and growth in proving ones worth for ones self.

I'm not saying it's fair but then again, fairness is pretty rare and that is a truth that touches everyone.
Where to find developers to convert native ios app to android app
Hi,

I am looking for suggestions on where I can find developers that convert an existing native iOS to android, or possibly companies that specialises in it.

Any Suggestions are welcome

Tinder's less effort than OKC.

With OKC you have you go through a whole set-up process and monitor it more like you would Facebook.

With Tinder you install, login with Facebook which pulls in all your photos/interest, swipe left + right, wait for a response, message and hope luck ever falls in your favour.
I've been surprised how good the internet was out there actually. I'd totally recommend it. Waking up, going for a cycle ride through the woods before working on a porch in the sun is kind of amazing.
