Depends how you do it. Many apps that use time trials will often leave behind some preference file or registry key to block re-installing.

But it's probably not worth building that into your software (I don't) - customers will either get so sick of reinstalling every 30 days that they just buy your software, or they're so poor that they were never really going to be a customer anyway, so you may as well let them continue with the workaround until they can afford it.

Time trials can be useful though. While most customers buy within the first day of use (and typically the first hour!), anyone who tracks metrics knows that expiring the trial version also generates a boost in sales around day 29 / day 30 of the trial.

"I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you."
You ignored my point entirely.

I agree with you that the current sea level is about where it was 23 years ago. I don't agree with you that the graph you linked isn't trending upwards. Obviously if you have a sinusoid that slowly trends up (where the yearly delta is << the (max-min) periodic variation), it's going to oscillate in such a way that a point-in-time view of it might see lower values than the average. That's what sinusoids do.

(If it's not obvious to you that the trend, rather than the current value, is the interesting data, then this whole discussion is a waste of time.)

So now that we've gotten that out of the way:

I'm arguing that you're doing a really bad job of convincing anyone because of your hostility to rational questions and discussion on the subject. I'm doing this a) to inform you, in case it wasn't obvious to you (and it seems like it wasn't) and b) because it's fun to point these things out; Hacker News seems to often enjoy meta-discussions about arguments.

This suggests a life expectancy of ~78 years old for someone 30 years old today. Of course, as you stated, we'd really need statistics for someone who was 30 years old in the 60s.

John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Edgar Mitchell are all at least several years beyond 78, with Glenn at an impressive 94.

By the way, the life expectancy at birth in that table is 76, so evidently reaching age 30 doesn't actually count for as much as I thought it would.
I might be wrong, but it looks to me you lack confidence.
Every time that happens do anything outside of your comfort zone.
In professional context: Learn a new programming language, get familiar with a new framework, study fundamental CS.
In social context: Go out more, talk to ladies if you're guy, talk to boys if you're girl.

I sense in your case you're dealing with passioned/opinionated people and you should take constructive criticism and advance yourself. But don't take shit from them.

Have your own opinion on things even if it's not the right one. I love reasonably opinionated conversations because I can learn new from those if I am wrong or incompetent in certain areas.

In the end you don't owe them anything and they don't owe you anything (aside from money).

Think of your job as a process of you helping the company with your talent and time. Move on if it's not fun for you and you don't learn anything new.
Beta signup open for new tool to manage operating systems in ANY public cloud
No, it isn't. Locally installed certificates override pins; if they didn't, HPKP browsers wouldn't be deployable inside large companies that have regulatory requirements to monitor traffic from their own desktops, and there would be no benefit, because an adversary who can install software or reconfigure your machine can defeat pins in a variety of other less transparent ways.

HPKP is great, but it doesn't address this problem.
This sounds interesting, however I don't think I fully understand how those two things would create a way of measuring time.

Could you expand a bit on this?
I was just stating that not everyone wins, regardless of the correct moral conclusion regarding sex work (including the existence of pornography and the sex industry.)

I was being quite neutral, saying, that at a minimum the philosophers and feminists who have to debate and decide this stuff don't win, since they have better things to be doing.

I don't know how else to put it other than the link I included - this isn't a settled question, some feminists are sex-positive and support the sex industry, others explicitly exclude sex work from the idea of feminism. (Because it's degrading, or hurts women, etc, by their viewpoint, which I don't mean to summarize here. Some say the very existence of pornography anywhere hurts women everywhere.)

So no matter how you slice it, not everyone wins via a redirect to pornography. I don't mean to make a deeper or more profound statement than I did, which is why it is quite narrow. At a minimum it causes feminists and philosophers to spend time on the issue that could be put to better use.

Here is a link to a book I haven't gotten around to reading: http://gaildines.com/pornland/pornland-about-the-book/

(I also am a user of pornography, though don't pay for it, and don't yet have a moral position on the matter. In fact I consider it possible that I might be "in the wrong" for being a user of pornography, given some of the above links. I haven't decided! The only position I have is that it is obviously not trivial or beyond the need for ethical analysis, i.e. it's not something you can pass summary judgment on in good conscience, like some trivial ethical question with an obvious answer - is it wrong to pretend to your dog you're going to the park but then go to the vet instead, no, it's obviously not wrong, even though you're being misleading, next question. Unlike this example you - or someone - has to look at the issue. Which is a chore.)

> If people feel strongly enough that a particular jury right should be revoked, then they should pursue steps to revoke it.

It's hard to see how the nullification and anti-nullification powers could be revoked without massively changing the role of the jury. Nullification follows from the double jeopardy rule and the jury not being liable for a "wrong" decision (except in special cases, like a juror selling their vote). Anti-nullification follows from the latter and from judges and appeals courts not having a way to detect anti-nullification.

The government preference isn't important, citizen preference is.

As to what they can do... it's a range from info to painful, but they can choose a range of options from serving up interstitials in a localized language that explains the issues, problems, and privacy and security implications... all the way to deny service.

If the citizens demand access to those services, or find it offensive that their privacy and security is being violated and circumvented, they will take action.

And these companies can help orchestrate, just as we did with SOPA/PIPA.
I wouldn't argue that the events weren't significant. They almost certainly captured just as many headlines as the Snowden leaks have. I'm mostly making a comparison between the information that was leaked.

Stakes are higher when there's more significant information to be published, so I would say it's not necessarily obvious to me that more significant information is more likely to be published.

Yeah and I did fine elsewhere, I'm OK. Not filthy rich but definitely FU money and then some.

Completely agree on the integrity thing. I left SGI when I couldn't look people in the eye and say "yeah, you should come work here". And they tried to keep me, offered to double my salary and pay off my house if I agreed to stay for 10 years. I loved that company back in the day but I'm so glad I didn't stay, it would have been miserable.

Tpot:Automatically optimize machine learning pipelines using genetic programming
Forgive me for taking so long to respond, but it's my suspicion that there's too much money chasing the S&P 500, driving prices artificially high (even for the most obvious dead companies walking) while creating bargains everywhere else in the world. I'm planning to look into REITs and MLPs -- "real estate investment trusts" and "midstream limited partnerships" (oil and gas pipeline operators) respectively -- as an initial wealth-building mechanism, although I might change (especially towards railroad stock) as I start accumulating wealth. Both of these investment vehicles are legally required to pay out most of their profits as dividends, producing sustainable dividends around 10% instead of around 3-4%.

Part of my interest in them is that the world's population is stagnant and will begin to decline soon -- creating an environment in which growth will be impossible, quality will prevail over quantity (goodbye, Caterpillar and General Electric!), and rent-seeking will be much more successful than profit-seeking.
Depends on how the app is implemented. Doesn't have to be that way at all, and shouldn't if properly pinned.

4 of the 12 people that walked on the moon have already died. If you look at the people who have not died by age X, there life expectancy is going to be based on that age.

As an aside, this is one of the reasons why I believe locally installed certificates overriding pinning has a quickly eroding shelf life... At some point, something bad will happen like this (or malware-based) and Chrome will raise their hand and say, "sorry enterprises, no more MITM at all, even for locally installed certificates."

After that, IE and Firefox will follow and crypto will no longer be so trivially subverted by enterprise organizations.
Which was one of the original motivations for post-modernism. But it existed, so something else will.

> a specific genetic study saying the genetic condition is inherited

These studies are not really about one genetic condition that causes alcoholism, but genes or combinations that provide higher odds of immunity.

There is an a gene more dominant in parts of Asia that increases short term side effects for alcohol, reducing alcoholism.

Europe is suspected to have similar changes through genes that are less compatible with alcoholism dominating over others that might be better for most things, but not for the pickle that was the middle ages.

Your own source contradicts that last claim.

"those that exercise at least 4 hours per week are as healthy as those that sit fewer than 4 hours"

Readable copy of the paper on which that article is based:

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/46255258_Occupationa...

The authors found a "convincing" correlation between sedentary behavior and health risks only for for cancer and CVD (see the "discussion" section). They specifically looked for such a correlation to insulin resistance, but didn't find any; they didn't look for other symptoms that have been mentioned (e.g. cataracts) at all.

It's not at all clear that weightlessness is the same as sitting at a desk in terms of the conditions we're talking about, but there is evidence that their rigorous exercise programs should counteract any such effects anyway. I'm not saying your theory is invalid, but you've done anything but provide evidence for it. It's certainly not the kind of "slam dunk" that would have justified your haughty dismissal of the OP.
I think what parent comment was getting at is that you shouldn't be generating LaTeX in the first place. Instead use LaTeX macros to pull the data from the source files. Probably easier said than done.

Yes.

Good.
John D. Rockefeller started the University of Chicago. Much of his time had to be spent convincing his trustees that they had to spend time soliciting funds from other donors than him. They tended to get slothful and spendthrift otherwise.

Teaching isn't presently scalable. You can look to the failures of our public school system for evidence. One might be tempted to look to other countries for systems that work better, but there has to be a political path forward for implementing those systems here.

One good teacher can only teach so many. That good teacher may not be good at teaching teachers. Teaching is not warfare, where good soldiers can teach other people to teach soldiers.

Teachers that are good at teaching teachers can only teach so many teachers. Any attempt to scale a working method will eventually run out of talent. And if you don't stop when you run out of talent, then the quality of your teaching will inevitably go down. Universities can only get so big.

Billionaires who want to put their wealth towards education are pretty limited in their options.

Not necessarily, it just means that Kazakh citizens will have a root cert installed on their machine that will allow the government to MITM their https connections. The connection between the MITM and the client will be encrypted (just with the government-controlled cert instead of the server's cert), and the MITM will have an encrypted connection to the server. I suppose it is possible that the MITM could make an unencrypted connection to the server, but I don't know a good reason for the government to do that.
Ah, Thanks for clearing that one up! As much as I dislike it, that reasoning does make sense.
The primary reasons for skipping PHP6 were that several books had been published on what PHP6 was supposed to be (full unicode support, for example), talks had been given and the original php 6 branch was ultimately ditched. The full list of reasons are at: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php6
I wish somebody could tell me what this means half technically. My mind is wavering between this is a good thing because everyone's connection is becoming secure to not a good thing for reasons unknown.

I am unsuccessful at finding the kids toy. I owned one, maybe ten years ago. Hand held, black plastic...

An artist named Paolo Salvagione made an arduino controlled "string fountain" a bit less than a year ago on this principle. It would have to be dramatically up scaled to launch a paintball or similar. His artistic interpretation was the vibration modes of the string look nice and artsy, whereas the engineering launch device I'm thinking of would be a perfectly non-vibrating circle.
That's another arms race Chrome will lose, because the market for the kinds of enterprise configuration management and "host protection" tools that could override this policy exists and is very lucrative. Chrome would simply be begging enterprise security companies to release products to fuck up their browser.

I disagree with you.
> "Famines in the Ukraine and China come to mind."

Neither the Soviet Union nor Communist China were/are communist states. They had rulers, communist states cannot have rulers, otherwise they violate the need for absence of social classes.

We shouldn't dismiss an idea just because some people misunderstood it. If you can find a society that tried communist principals (and I mean all of the core principals, not half hearted attempts), I'll definitely be interested to know about them.

To look at this differently, though, I would think that at some level GOOG and the other engines want to be able to accurately index content for their users, however it's generated on a given site. Obviously in past this tended to go the other way, a site's static content appeared to be one thing, but client-side scripts did various sneaky things to it, which is one reason Google traditionally processed js and css to some degree. But though that's still a concern, it's actually less of a problem if they are just running a webdriver over your site to figure out what it is.

Sorry you'll have to Google it. I read almost everything I find on sleep and I encountered this quite a lot, it was even said to me by my doctor and a psychiatrist.

A few days ago there was something on HN about how people that slept late on week ends had a shorter lifespan than other, it shouldn't be hard to find.

Now for my sample of one : I'm subject to SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and common depression too but when I manage to stick to a strict wake up time (6AM at the moment) my quality of life is greatly enhanced. And this despite that I'm more an evening (even night) person.
You used the words install software for the second time and makes me wonder if the citizens of Khazakstan will be force to install an executable or just a certificate, because you make it sound a lot more scary than it looks like or I maybe I did not fully understand the repercussions.
When America Dreamed of a Nuclear-Powered Cargo Fleet
I remember once, years ago, a member of a 70's band (Jethro Tull?) being asked if he watched MTV. When he replied, "Yes," the commentator remarked that he was surprised that this person liked that music. The band member's eyes widened in horror and said, "I watch the news. That doesn't mean I like what I see."

I guess I love the book for the same reason that I hate HN, despite that I check it daily. Silicon Valley has had tremendous success financially, if not technically, and that has spawned with it a strange micro-culture that is easy to skewer when you take just a few steps away from it.
