Here's a well-cited overview of the role n-3s (EPA & DHA) in brain development, among other things: http://www.lef.org/LEFCMS/aspx/PrintVersionMagic.aspx?CmsID=...

Overwhelming evidence for the benefits of DHA comes from a recent review of some 50 studies, which concluded that higher DHA in babies’ diets translates into better brain function, especially for cognitive and visual function.23 Further evidence that DHA may promote healthy nervous system development comes from a recent study in which researchers divided 53 normal, healthy infants into those exclusively breast-fed and those exclusively bottle-fed with a formula containing no DHA. Using assessments of visual, auditory, and sensory perception, they found definite abnormalities in all three tests in the bottle-fed babies at one year of age.
Is the approval process still taking weeks? I thought things had improved in that department after all the complaints...

Congratulations arjunlall!

I haven't heard about your venture until now but apparently 1 million people have heard of it and they also signed up, so that is impressive.

Best of luck in the future!
Is there somewhere people can go to look for advertising from the "big guys" rather than Google Adsense?

If not, as long as the CPC were low enough, why wouldn't these big companies embrace it (the long tail)?
Some part of the country, i.e. the red states are still having this problem but...

This was already posted, but it bears repeating (so sayeth me): that one company is singlehandedly destroying an entire ecosystem on the Atlantic seaboard: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/16/opinion/16greenberg.html

I don't care what the benefits are, there is no excuse for such behavior in this day and age.
The point is that Apple bought PA Semi for $278M. It would be unusual to spend so much money for a processor company and then turn around and use off-the-shelf ARM processors.

A nuclear reactor uses fission. My idea uses fusion triggered by fission (look up how hydrogen bombs work). Fusion is much more efficient that fission which is why my idea has merit.
In short, a computer program is tactically superior, whereas a human chess player is strategically superior, making the combination of the two a completely superior chess player.

Facebook Prepares To Open Source A New PHP
He was right of course. But too bad for all the people who get screwed in the process.
1. Yes, but can you touch type backwards on a new split keyboard layout that you can't look at? There's definitely going to be a learning curve.

2. Okay.
While we don’t have confirmation that the announcement will come on Tuesday, we do know that the company has rebuilt PHP entirely, as told by some of the company’s employees. As soon as it’s launched, it will instantly change the entire PHP landscape. With greater efficiency, many developers will begin tinkering immediately and most likely make the entire shift over to this new version of PHP.
Text Layout with Core Text
And yet he drank the neoconservative koolaid. Mostly I think he is a hell of writer that just wants to be read. I'm not sure the content matters much to him.
He is angry that they effectively hijacked his bandwidth to earn them revenue off of his work. And all without the courtesy of asking his permission. Twice.
i'm a developer and i don't like mice, but i love my mac's touch pad. two finger horizontal and vertical scrolling is awesome for reading code quickly, and then getting back to typing. i prefer the continuous movement provided by the touchpad over keyboard shortcuts (er, long cuts!)

(i've made my own foot pedal for fun, but i don't suffer from wrist problems normally. i use emacs key bindings with eclipse)
Flaxseed oil is not necessarily an alternative.

Fish oil contains EPA and DHA type omega-3 acids and flaxseed (and walnuts and hemp seed) contain ALA, which the body converts to EPA and DHA, but inefficiently.

I started to play this game at work and instantly knew I wanted to beat it and play it all the way through. It had a great look and feel to it.

Since I did get to the victory screen I thought I'd share my comments with you. In fact this if the first time I've ever commented on YC/news and had to register just to do it.

1. I really wanted a way to go directly to the hat I wanted to use instead of cycle through them. Pressing 1 for blue, 2 for bunny etc would have made it a lot less frustrating.

2. The green hat totally confused my jumping finger. I'd put on green, jump high, switch to bunny, try to use the same button to jump with but nothing happened.

3. I had absolutely no problem figuring out what the goal was, how to use the blue hat, how to pass the first level, how to enter doors etc. I don't come from a long background of video game players. I was told by you that x and c are the controls and bam with a little playin around I learned what to do.

4. I really liked the simplicity. It looked 8 bit but we know flash isn't 8 bit. Why did you choose those graphics as opposed to a more smooth sprite?

5. I never got used to the zxc controls. I am right handed and all but for some reason my fingers kept getting it mixed up. When doing harder moves like jumping high and shooting I'd have to think it through first "ok i have to push c,z,z,z,c" and I'd still screw it up. I'd hit z 4 times instead of 3.

6. The only levels worth playing were the last 2. I almost gave up on the last level though. Had to go eat a cookie and think about it, and come back. I died at every single obstacle at least once trying the last level.

7. The second to last level was my absolute favorite. This is where you first have to shoot a guy have him die on spikes, jump over spikes, and repeat. The last jump to the exit took me forever and I planned a lot of different methods to finally get it. The reason why I liked it was because it seemed very hard to me yet I saw the door right there and knew the level was short. I had victory taste in my mouth every time I made that jump but something would always go wrong.

8. I enjoyed the early levels as a tutorial on how to use the hats but the replay value is not really there if I already know how to use the hats.

9. I really liked the lack of loading screens, lack of time it takes between death and startover, lack of frills. Just give me a game and you did!

I think if you like this game you'll probably another flash game called "Chronotron". Anyways I really enjoyed your game. I think you're doing great and thank you for sharing it!
I think it has, but the OP suggests another gold rush will occur immediately the iPad launches which will bog things down again.
1. yes, that's what touching typing means.

(i don't get what you mean by backwards. it's not backwards for my fingers and that's what matters.)
Fish oil is also recommended for ADHD, though I can't get myself to take them regularly yet so I can't testify to its effectiveness.
oh and I forgot one last thing. I really thought the music and sound effects was refreshing and great. also my favorite was the yellow hat, i liked both its musical graphics and the sound it made when you shoot it. i think i only had to use it on 1 level though
If only we could change "National Defense" by "Startup Fund".
Stable boring job or risky more exciting one?
I've been doing web work for the better part of 12 years, mostly all client work. You know, find a business who needs a web site, you build it, sometimes it has webapp components to it, sometimes it's brochure-ware.

In the past few years I've worked on projects for major companies and brands, and I thought I had 'arrived'. But once the glimmer was gone, I'vestarted to wonder, what's beyond this? I've been feeling like I've hit the glass ceiling. As an outlet, in my off-time I've worked on my own sites and projects, have contributed to open source, etc. It's been a lot of fun and has gotten notice in my local tech community. But I still have to come to work everyday and work on stuff I'm not really into.

Basically where I'm at now, I don't see them doing anything but client work in the foreseeable future. Granted it's for 'cool' companies and brands, but in the end it ends up being the same old stuff.

What I'd like to do is work on a product, building something innovative and expand my skills. The company I work for now tried to position itself to allow me to work on a product full time, but after 2 years it hasn't gone anywhere past a useful tool for the company itself. Recently it's basically been put on hiatus because I was needed to work on some important client projects. I was pretty disappointed.

In the past week I've been approached by a local startup, funded, working on a really cool product. They are offering me a full time job. Pay/benefits are on par with where I am now. However there's obviously risk involved going into a startup, as I'm sure you all know. I have a mortgage to pay, and family to support (I ain't 20 anymore). I am an integral part of my current company, and my leaving would have a huge impact. I would also give up any seniority I have, and a pretty stable good income (they aren't going anywhere soon).

So I guess it all comes down really to me just saying what's on my mind here and hoping for some random insights from HN. I'm not looking for definitive answers. Has anyone been through (or currently going through) similar experiences?
macruby is an awesome project, when the project releases a 1.0 release, they will show all the other ruby implementations that you can have a fast ruby implementation. And hopefully this will make its way to the iphone and ipad.

I'm afraid you are reading too much into this. A static list of most popular extensions reinforces the popularity of those top extensions over and over. There is no grand conspiracy to kill off or discourage adblocking extensions, only to promote as much variety in the ecosystem as possible. If they wanted to kill it off, they would have just gone and removed them from the gallery and posted a TOS update as they did with YouTube downloaders:

Top 3 Tips to Improve Your Eyesight
At first I read it as: "Hitchens is even weirder and more despicable than you thought".
My fish oil is Costco brand and it says it contains anchovy, bonito, and sardines. It also says it's made from wild deep sea fish. I think I've also tried liquid cod liver oil and supposedly these were cheaper than the pills. In fact I haven't even seen a brand of fish oil with menhaden.
I'd actually disagree, I think overall America is very tolerant of immigrants as long as they make some effort to integrate into society.

Also, can we stop with this red/blue state madness -- it's very hard to generalize the views of a given state, especially large populous states.
To call a group of our fellow humans "a sort of new species" - as the author does - is offensive, no matter who the target. That legitimately offends my sensibilities, as I consider myself to fall under the same umbrella as North Koreans - that of humanity at large. As you stated yourself, these people are physically different from others due to a lifetime of malnutrition, NOT a genetic evolution, which would be necessary for a new species to emerge. Also, using the term "dwarf", which is a colloquial term for a medical disorder, is simply inaccurate, and hints at the superiority bias of this author. The rest of the piece follows a similar tone, and to me does no good in bringing us to a more civil position with North Korea.

Kyoto Cabinet: a straightforward implementation of DBM
I think he was making a dot-com (v1) boom joke. Wherein the overly simplistic business model math involving capturing just X tiny percent of a huge market was obvious justification for the profitability of a web venture. Turns out, there's no reason to assume that anyone can capture 1%, 0.1% or even 0.0001% of any market, merely because it's a small value doesn't mean it's easy to achieve.

I am merely enlightening you to the fact that "private property" is not a catch-all excuse to discriminate and revoke "invitations" to people, which you seem to believe.

What's next? Maybe you'd like to include homosexuals and Muslims next because you can change your religion and sexual practices?

It's quite a dangerous precedent you are setting, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the 3rd amendment. The 3rd amendment deals with government troops and the right for troops to trespass on private property during war.

I approached the American version of The Office with trepidation for this very reason (in fact I avoided it altogether until after the fourth season had come out). When I finally started watching it, I was delighted to discover that it is, if anything, even better than the original.

The characters are more complex and richly realized; the boss is as much an object of pity and even compassion as of scorn (er, Scarn); and Dwight is almost unbearably awesome.

There may be a shark-jumping in the show's future (heck, it may be happening as I write this - I won't get to see the current season until it comes out on DVD this coming September), but I haven't seen it yet.

Isn't half of the keyboard upside down? For symmetry, the side keys (shift, ctrl on both sides, caps and esc on the left, enter, backspace on the right) should all be on the bottom. Otherwise I'd have to re-train my left hand to trewq rather than qwert.

Some may also remember from the news a few years ago another Korean War defector, Charles Robert Jenkins, who was able to move to Japan with his wife in 2004 during a period of Japanese-North Korean rapprochement:

His wife had been shanghai'd from the shores of Japan by North Korean agents to help train their spies.
Well for me it has jumped the shark but that doesn't mean I won't watch the odd episode now and then but my point is that American shows almost never leave on a high note.
This is completely subjective from my own experience, but it seems whenever I've tried taking fish oil supplements before, on more than one occasion I've felt kind of depressed and lethargic after a few days of taking them so I stop, then everything's back to normal. It's happened enough to suspect a pattern.

I'll stick with natural sources for these oils. Eggs, walnuts, etc. no problem, I eat lots of foods with omega-3s. Maybe there is something unnatural about swallowing a big concentrated dose of the stuff?

I don't really care to repeat the experiment to find out...
I got a tiny app approved just last week. Total time from submission to acceptance: 33 hours. That's far less than I've seen on the previous three. Luck, or improvement, I'm not sure...

I'm not really sold - one of the strengths of the iPad is that it has a UI that's specifically geared towards finger interaction - a lot of this concept seems like it's just doing "desktop UI with touch enhancements". IMHO that's not enough.

Plasma Cutting Safety Tips

Slate is a politics and culture magazine, not a newspaper, that features essays and columns often expressing the opinions of mostly well-known regular writers. Hitchens is one of Slate's better-known writers and is most famous for his work in Vanity Fair magazine.

Usually when someone reads a Hitchens article, they know what to expect. He definitely has a bias. He is a hawk, a bit of a neo-con, and an infamous hater of the Clintons. He is also known for his zealous atheism (heh) and enormous ego. I don't often agree with Hitchens, but I generally enjoy his work and appreciate his surly intellectualism and penchant for turning over rocks to reveal the dirt. His pieces are usually opinionated but factual.
True, it is slightly similar in that you didn't directly commit the crime. Though you do have to have an active role, for example, storing the money after a bank robbery. Another one like this is "accessory after the fact." However, there again, you actually have to take an active role in helping someone you know committed a crime.

The difference with something like the "condoning" rules is that they essentially take away the right to remain silent from the 5th amendment. Of course, they can get away with it because they are just rules at a school.
"Hitchens: Kim Jong-il's regime even weirder, more despicable than you thought"

And 3 characters to spare!
I know the Moxxor guys - Noel Turner is an incredible entrepreneur story - recently started taking the product how have you found it vs. fish oil?
99% of Google's reported revenue comes from search (or rather advertising programs) according to their 2008 company report (I know a little outdated, the number is probably a bit different now but I can't be bothered to look it up, I'd guess still pretty north of 90%).

Doing some quick arithmetic gives me about $200 million left over from all other products and services combined.

Google Apps for business accounts for around $100 million of that (2 million users * $50/yr), which means that really, all other products in Google make up around $100 million dollars/year. I'm willing to wager that a very significant chunk of that remaining $100mil comes from Google Earth geospatial servers for the military and the rest going to the appliances (which surprisingly are not the big hit everybody thought they would be, the appliances should be a multi-billion/yr business unit alone, what went wrong?).

Now, $200+ million is nothing to sneeze at, but we wouldn't talk about Google with such hushed, excited, reverence if they were a $100 or $200 million/yr company, would we? Salesforce.com, which basically sells one thing, just did a Billion dollar year. We also have no idea if those figures represent profit or not. Google docs for example runs on the same multi-billion dollar infrastructure as does search...would it be nearly as compelling of a service if it really had to pay for itself?

We all conflate their great technology with their market success, but really Google is just a really good advertising conduit that just so happens to have really good technology -- their other technology is not impactful in nearly the same way monetarily to them.

By way of comparison, Google is about the same revenue-size as the top-5 advertising agencies.

But Google's actual technology business is about the size of ClickSoftware Technologies(NASDAQ:CKSW) -- and I don't recall seeing lots of posts on any tech site about their offerings.

None of this is any great mystery. The numbers are out there and it's easy to make some educated guesses. Google knows this too, which is why they are rapidly trying to diversify into other areas. For example, Google Docs was a $0/yr business not that long ago -- I wish I could turn a switch and grow something into a $100mil/yr operation in a couple of years.

On the other hand, if we look at Microsoft, they aren't even interested in an idea unless it has at least a billion/yr revenue opportunity attached to it. So many of the things that Google is doing now, to build up to, and exceed, that kind of revenue target, would never have happened at Microsoft -- and there's something to be said about that.
