Just for fun, one night I sat next to a street performer in Japan on his performance from the start at 10pm to end at around 3am. Total take was 2500jpy ($25), which was 100 jpy from 5 different people + 1000 each from two generous gentlemen.

He said the highest donation ever was 30000 jpy from a very drunken salaryman.

You think it's "pretty simple" because you haven't done any in depth research on the subject. Telling people to eat less and move more to lose weight is a recipe for failure. You have no qualifications but keep repeating the calories in calories out mantra. Until you've told this to hundreds of your patients and watching hundreds of them fail despite your useless advice, stop trying to shove your foot into the nutritional science door.

Lowering infant mortality will generally get you into the 70-80 bracket.

The countries with 80+ life expectancy are those with the best and most available hospital systems and active program where they treat aging diseases. That's really only happened in the last 20 years.

The USSR did very well until it collapsed, but since then life expectancy has kind of stagnated in most of the former Soviet republics (see the Gapminder link below)

Iran lost a statistically significant number of people during the Iran/Iraq war of the 1980's. That's showing in the life expectancy stats.

Gapminder is good for this kind of thing (You'll need to enable Flash). Watch Iran drop back when the war occurred: http://www.gapminder.org/world/#$majorMode=chart$is;shi=t;ly...,

not a bad idea, though it wouldn't be fun if I somehow ended up starting a rumor about myself. I did resort to something similar once. I noticed that some recruiting tool had something in their terms about not contacting minors:

I'm currently in the process of scheduling my first annual physical in a few years and had narrowed down my choice of in-network providers who are accepting new patients to two physicians.

Using the link you provided, I see one received $988 in drug company money for the period covered, the other $669. The one recommended to me by a friend who is no longer accepting new patients: $1387.

So I guess I can combine that information with a handful of 3 and 4 star reviews for each on healthgrades.com and throw a dart at a map.
It's not easy for indies, either

If you read the fine print at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/javascript-errors-notifie/jafmfknfnkoekkdocjiaipcnmkklaajd/reviews you're going to see that they collect statistics.

You may think it's okay, not making a big deal of it, as most things like this anonymize data before sending.

Guess what? Not only it does send to a web service the links for images you access, but it goes as far as managing it doesn't appear on your console and sends it over with HTTP.

This should be banned right now from the Chrome web store.

I don't know if the authors are aware how insanely invasive this is, but you have to know it.

I have only noticed when I was using Charles Proxy to verify something and found some requests very odd.

I have reported it to the Chrome web store and hopefully they ban it asap.
Well patents are not really an ownership. It is a time limited exclusive use of what the patent covers, in exchange for writing it down. This so that once the patent runs out, the wider society benefits.

Mind you, patents came about when the steam engine was a new thing.

Also, that they cover software is a very recent thing. Initially they covered mechanical systems (pistons, rods, cogs etc etc) set up to specific tasks, and chemicals (put X parts of Y into Z under boil).

What seemed to happen was that at some point software got involved as controlling these earlier items in a more precise manner than humans or mechanics alone could (monitor temperature, put stuff into other stuff when it hits the exact one, extract everything a precise number of seconds later etc).

This was then declared, by court, to be a distinct patent from the same process done via purely manual or mechanical means. A ruling that later lawyers built on to basically get de-facto software patents.

So you are arguing there was no basis for investigation? Ok then. Whatever.
I'm not sure why you're taking such a sanctimonious approach here.

I'm also not sure why you keep repeating this advice, as though I or anyone on this board need to hear it.

My point, which I'll try to make again, is that, among my peer group and in my generation, the universally prevalent idea was, "get a degree in anything, you'll get a job," full stop. (Please, don't take this as a sign that I need you to tell me to "google starting salaries for majors" again!). When you're a 16 year old without much technical aptitude--not me, but certainly my friends--that sounds like a good proposition! The schools won't do anything to disabuse the incoming students of that, either. Why would they? Every department wants a steady influx of students, so none of them are going to say, "nope, no jobs here!"

I think you probably grew up in quite a different era, which is why I keep getting a sense of "kids these days" in your messages.

I do kind of wonder what it would take to get you to empathize with people who grew up in a different time, under different circumstances, people who are part of a substantial cohort, who all acted in good faith on bad life advice and are all paying a substantial price for it.

If, in response, you're going to say "just google it!" or "personal responsibility!" then please, let's save us all the typing and let it go.

My espresso machine was one of the best purchases I have made. I can have straight espresso or any variation of frothed milk and coffee that I can imagine. I use store brand coffee and milk and it is delicious. Its worth investing in if you care about it and I drink coffee almost every day, so something I think is worth investing in.

An interesting (and well-known) artifact is that Asians in the US have highest life expectancies in the world. In addition to possibly having good genetics for this purpose, they avoid the anomalous adverse factors in US life expectancies (vehicular accidents and homicide) while taking advantage of the fact that the US generally has the best average medical outcomes in the world for the diseases that tend to kill older populations.

From a life expectancy standpoint, Asian Americans have the perfect intersection of genetics, avoidance of injury, and medical outcomes. Given the size of disparities in life expectancy, shifts in demographics alone would be sufficient to explain some of the increase in life expectancy.
That doesn't mean much... Maybe people who eat the same now ate more in the past, which is why they're still fatter.

Which makes the US's social security system a bit insane. Somehow you're expected to live 20-30 years off of income derived from paying into a system for 40-50 years. (or less, given the number entering the work force in the their late 20s or early 30s)
I think this is spot on, and came to comment likewise... I think the types of product we are using for our macros is way off base from even a few decades ago. I only had a little glimpse of how much so because I know someone very allergic to soy, and it's in almost everything these days.

I don't think that most things in particular are necessarily bad for you, but it might be worth taking a few steps back and switch to less processed foods... I don't think organic makes much of a difference for most foods (aside from berries)... But using oils that have to be heavily refined, perfumed and dyed to make them palatable doesn't make so much sense.

There's also recent studies on the affects of artificial sweeteners on digestion, trans fats and a bunch of other stuff. I think the push towards vegetarianism, low-fat, low-carb, etc as fads combined with industrialization of food has done a lot of harm to the public.

If you're young and relatively healthy, avoid processed/refined foods as much as possible, eat a variety of things and don't consume too many calories on a weekly average, and you should be okay. I'm 40, diabetic, insulin resistant, and wish I'd received that advice when I was younger.

I just think it sucks how much it really costs to actually cook for yourself... over the weekend I made 3 different pots of soup to have this week. I had some chuck roast that I braised in beef broth (store bought), used the roast in a menudo inspired soup (I don't like tripe), the braising liquid was combined with mushrooms and onions for another soup... I used the left over carcase from a roasted chicken to make another broth that I then used to make vichyssoise (sub some potato with cauliflower and parsnips). All told it cost about $160 for everything with about a gallon each of three soups... breakdown to 2-cup servings comes out to just under $7 a serving for a low-gl diet with a variety of veggies... That doesn't count adding other protein in my diet too.

Now make it a family of 4-5 and that budget is too high for families making under 40-60K/year. It's no wonder that boxed mac & cheese, hamburger helper and the like rule the roost at home along with the dollar menu at fast food places. With all the heavily refined, packaged, canned, frozen and just plain overly processed food that we all consume too much of, is it any wonder why we as a society are experiencing the problems we are?

I don't know how well supported it would be, but would really love to see food/nutrition/cooking as a core material in elementary schools... Actually bringing cooking into school lunches with a required prep rotation for all students would go a long way. It would cost more than those programs do today, but is using subsidy trades to turn chickens into chicken nuggets for school lunches really a good thing?
"The USSR did very well until it collapsed"

It didn't, life expectancy actually went backwards in Russia in 1965-1985. It stagnated for women and fell a few years for men. This is while rest of the world increased life expectancy rapidly. You can see that in your linked website.

A good comparsion pair is Russia-Finland. Same expectancy and GDP in 1960, and then they begin to diverge rapidly.

I suspect it probably started as a personal project to see how small a "distro" could be and still be useful.

For sure, totally agree with you. But I think there are many more important things a publication like that could spend its time on. It's not as if one or the other is probably better; one or the other is better by influenced preference. I mean, normally people tend to avoid bitter flavors, but we've conditioned ourselves to like it.
Makes sense I'm used to physical servers with tons of ram at work. If you don't mind, and I assume you're on Amazon entirely then, what size instances/how many are you using for the ETL(luigi) nodes?

Mea culpa, my memory is bad, so let's lay out the timeline:

Early Oct 2010: Microsoft files lawsuit.

Late Oct 2010: Motorola countersues.

Aug 2011: Google announces Motorola acquisition. (Many would say Google's watch starts now.)

May 2012: Google closes Motorola acquisition.

Sept 2013: Microsoft wins 14M judgement with jury deciding unanimously that Google was a bad actor.

Regardless of where you start the stopwatch, Google had at least a full 16 months to prevent this outcome. And note again, Google was the only company involved in the smartphone wars to suffer this fate. Given its previous rhetoric about "patent abuse", this is nothing but hypocrisy.
I hope that they controlled for factors like smoking cigarettes.

Show HN: Spacemacs inspired sublime plugin with heavy focus on VIM
I've got to say, this entire set of tools looks incredibly polished and well designed. The documentation is amazingly thorough, and the getting started tutorials cover exactly what I hoped they'd cover. (I'm looking at building a collaborative, real-time editor for Markdown-like content.)

Everything was super positive.

And then I went to browse the code, and it turns out it isn't actually hosted on NPM; it has a weird custom build process that means every file has implicit module dependencies between them, but you can't really tell which; and everything's written in Coffeescript.

Went from super excited to questioning whether it's something that is going to be more of a hassle to develop and contribute to than it's worth.

The design decisions of the library itself still seem strong, but the developer experience design decisions will probably mean that it sees nowhere near the adoption it could have seen. If anyone knows of similar libraries I'd be really curious to hear what people have used in the past.
Thanks for the detail. It is interesting that violating an NDA about physical hardware results in getting your software pulled from a sibling app store. Clearly an android app would not be similarly affected. Though it does seems like they are getting a light punishment considering violating NDAs can have severe legal and financial consequences.
They're not falling for anything, its just plain and simple greed. My father was in the radiology area and he constantly received 'bribes' (didn't accept them, but had the offers).
When going to a coffee shop and ordering an espresso and frothed milk, most prefer a certain texture and taste. It would be useful to have an agreed upon language to describe this preference. The current language we use seems to have very inconsistent results.

So ultimately what hours do most tech/knowledge companies work in the US? 9-5? 9-6? I've also heard stories of 9-9 or worse but wonder how much is startup myth.
Ask HN: What hours do you work? (and what country/job)
I made a brief foray into coffee snobbery about three years ago. I quickly got lost in all the permutations of espresso machines, grinders, roasters, beans, etc. and so I decided I should get myself a baseline of what a "proper" espresso should taste like. Fortunately, at the place I worked at the time we had a (supposedly) top-of-the-line espresso machine and several resident coffee geeks, including one who was actually from Italy. I asked their advice and obtained a bag of what were supposedly the best beans in town, and brought them in to the office.

To make a long story short, several hours and I don't know how many batches of espresso later, none of us had managed to make even a single cup that was remotely close to being drinkable. So I got a $100 Keurig machine, and never looked back.

Still, when I'm in Italy, I can go to any coffee shop and get an espresso that is absolutely delicious. So the Italians definitely know something I don't.
Thanks ranman.

I don't see how them having controlling stake in TMobile helps them on that goal. I don't see either how wireless carriers have a real way to limit Googls mobile ad. I think Android alone accomplishes that goal, and until and unless phone carriers role out their own os alternatives that people don't hate, they'll be forced to offer Android.

Their involvement with spectrum bidding got them open access rights for only a few million.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here though..

I agree that student loans don't do the student much justice and there must be a smarter way of funding education. In Australia our HECs loan system essentially funds research which may benefit society as a whole but hardly benefits students when course content is in some cases years out of date. As it's a loan system that graduates don't repay until their income reaches a certain threshold (essentially an extra tax), with government approval this has allowed course fees to creep upwards.

I don't agree with the general comment on inflation. For instance, I'm not aware of Australia's medicare system leading to higher medical treatment costs. If anything it provides a base level of care and limits the amount that any private medical provider could provide.

In any case I'm certain that private insurance companies facilitate the same kind of inflation as they don't seem too concerned about the cost of services rendered when they can simply pass that onto their customers as a higher premium (which they in turn benefit from). At least where government spending is concerned, inflation can be managed.
Oh hell yes. Especially in Brooklyn... I'm from Texas and also noticed the difference, but you get used to it/pay a lot in ATM fees.
Well, proportional representation is mathematically and theoretically possible in the US, but culturally and politically as likely as adopting Chinese as official language. That won't change for decades at least.

But changing how districts are drawn actually does happen in this country. California degerrymanderified their process a few years ago.
I was thinking more of the corporate warfare type of lawsuits, but I would still say, given the litigation landscape, that lawyer-initiated lawsuits are rare. Both class-action and patent trolls, despite the disproportionate media attention they garner, appear to be statistically a small fraction of the total litigation activity.

They give up trying to harass other users.

You need to understand that hellbanning was invented as a mean of dealing with commercial spammers and malicious trolls--people who have no interest in good-faith discussion, only in provoking a reaction; if they receive a normal ban, they'll just start a new account and continue, because they have none of the investment in the community that would make them care about their old account. Hellbanning prevents them from doing that, and in the old days it was often discussed with no small amount of sniggering over the idea of some asshole troll trying and trying to piss people off and wondering why it wasn't working anymore.

A hellban works for those people; it may be the only thing that does. It is an entirely inappropriate tool to use against a user who wants to participate earnestly but is sometimes excessively rude/short-tempered, and my impression is that HN uses it that way often. (Based on the number of times I've seen commenters say "XXXX, you may not realize that you're shadowbanned, which is a shame because you've got a good point." A person who sometimes has good points is someone who should receive informed bans/suspensions, not hellbans.)
I did the same for a bit over a year (went from 460# to 360# that year), minimal activity.. since then I've hovered between #365-380 though... I haven't been as strict as that first year... A couple months ago I spent two months relatively high stress and ate a lot of fast food.. was inching towards 390 again... The past 2 weeks have been back on track (staying fairly strict in my diet) and back to 370 again.

It's purely anecdotal, but the fewer grains I eat (I do have some legumes, but try to limit them), the better I do all around. In general if I stay under an estimated glycemic load of 100/day, I loose weight with not other real changes in terms of calories or exercies.

Staying away from soda (Diet Dr Pepper) has been much harder... mostly drink water, but have a soda about every other day. I try to cook about once a week, usually soup that's easy enough to eat during the week and supplement with some meat along with fruit & nuts. It isn't easy, especially the first week... also, it's definitely more expensive avoiding heavily processed foods all around.
Hotmail.co.uk currently has an expiry date of 23-Oct-2015, only three weeks away. I hope they don't forget to renew it this time...

Google.com should be fine until 2020, but I randomly looked up some of their ccTLDs and a lot of them are set to expire in less than a year. Google.co.uk has only four months left.

I wonder why large companies with deep pockets don't just register all of their domains for the maximum duration. There are a few ccTLDs that only allow 1-2 year renewals, but those are few and far between. Most domains can be renewed for 5-10 years at a time.
