as somebody who bike commutes a little over 2 hours every day, I really don't understand why anybody would be angry about this, I mean, I would be wearing a strobing whole body orange flashing laser vest if it was available and the batteries lasted long enough.

In the end bikes are a lot less visible than a car, especially at night, and even more so when it's raining, and despite this I still see several times a week cyclists dressed in black with no lights: of course if a car hits a cyclist the car is at fault, but if you think about it as a car driver you are rolling the dice at times at night because there is no way you can see somebody dressed like that until it's too late if they decide to ride in front of you.

I am not saying all car drivers are blameless, despite using TWO 1000+ lumens led lights (one on my handlebar, one on my helmet) I still often get cut off by cars turning in front of me, or despite having a 500+ lumens red rear light cars passing me and cutting me off by turning right in front of me, so as a cyclist one has to ride defensively at all times, but I really don't see why one would not immediately jump at something that makes them more visible (and that will make any "I didn't see him" defense by a car driver in an accident moot)

I was a writer for Wired Magazine for three years and never took a single class in journalism, and nothing beyond the required english classes in college.

I think we need to do more to help educate parents and prospective students that in most cases a college degree is next to worthless. For-profit schools like the University of Phoenix get a lot of negative press, but how about these little known colleges referenced in the story that charge nearly as much as top of the line schools? Sadly, many colleges (most?) are simply outgrowths of an overgenerous loan subsidy program run by the government.

If you want to enter a credentialed field, be it education, medicine, or law—by all means get a degree.

Likewise, if you're going into a highly technical field, it's a wise investment to study intensively.

Most psych/business majors would be better served working their way up through the ranks.

In 90% of creative fields you're much better off just "doing it." I got my job at Wired by writing on my blog and getting the attention of the editor-in-chief. If you want to be a filmmaker, make films—same with music, art, etc. I essentially got paid for my "graduate school" in writing.

This is easier said than done when most entry level gigs require a college degree, but you can still get an affordable degree at most state universities. Also, we should be talking more at the political level about vocational education and non-degree training programs to prepare people for the workforce.
>I feel like the media wants to paint a comeback story a la Apple a lot more than one actually exists.

In terms of an Apple come back story that's blatantly false. Microsoft was never in dire financial straights since practically the mid-80's.

The Benefit of the Doubt is more because of their attitude to the OSS community. For nearly its entire life Micro$oft has been seen as the prime enemy of the OSS community, a role which it willingly and almost happily embraced.

Today Microsoft has open sources it main .NET runtime. Opening up C#/F# 2 great languages. Its opening the JS Engine in Edge. Compared to Gates/Balmer area Microsoft it very much feels like a different company.

Underrated Marketing Tactics – Part 2
I do cycle, and I do not see this as a bad thing, nor that it shifts the blame/burden/etc to me as a cyclist. I am hard to see at night with my tiny rear light and my reflective vest that barely moves and the thin reflective stripes on my pants. If I sprayed the legs of my pants with this, the large area of movement reflecting in headlights would sure as hell make me easier to see.

I imagine it sure would help collision avoidance systems, and I can't be the only one thinking that. If it's that reflective for visible light, it's just as reflective for IR and possibly microwaves, and would make the user stand out on computerized collision avoidance systems.

First, cholesterol doesn't pass through the gastric system into blood in any meaningful amounts. The body makes its own cholesterol in the liver. So why do doctors say "cut down on cholesterol", when the body absorbs only negligible amounts?

Secondly, I feel much more satiated when eating higher fat foods. I also end up eating less (documented) when fats are controlled for.

Thirdly, due to your obtuseness, you miss the point I was making. There is a great deal of conflicting data in nutrition theory. Combine that with fad diets (What is it, paleo is the new in thing?) and confusion is abound everywhere.

I find this hard to believe. You probably need to read the man page and perform the action over and over again.

At least personally, I need to do thing X and to achieve that I know I need to use tool Y. I read the man page of Y and very satisfyingly do the thing X. A month from now I have to do something similar to X and cannot for the life of me remember what freakish incantations need to be performed in order to do the same thing so I have to go through the man page again. This is where I'd like the tl/dr of it. I don't need Y often enough to actually warrant spending much time on learning to use the niche cli it requires..

This article gives me the impression that all they're really trying to do, realizing it or not, is make it possible for that anti-pattern, and all the anti-patterns surrounding it, to continue to exist. "Be strong, go to work!"

Also, if you have to travel 67 minutes to and from work in a cattle car, and you're part of the "salary man" cohort with legendary working hours, how can you have any time at all to take advantage of the "free" mental health services mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

For that amount of money, the parents could have purchased a cheap condo for each of their children, and have the children rent it out as a source of income that would be more stable than a knowledge economy job attainable with their children's interests. Or the child could live in the condo. At this point, a condo is actually more useful than most degrees.

Amazing how fast Chrome grew in just 5 years.

I think Firefox will get its mojo back in a year or two as they're simplifying their Firefox product by removing unused features, focusing on the core (e10s), and working on new APIs like web extensions. At least I hope so, I don't want Google/Chrome dictating the web standards to come.

I like Firefox Nightly with e10s but hard to use on OS X due to its crappy trackpad support, can't get it to swipe back to go back, I've tried several things and I've given up.

This is public voter data that anyone can get from their county office or secretary of state's office. It's not being "exposed" because voter files and party registrations were never secret.
You have no way to know this, unless you are the researcher or have access to the full list of fields somehow.

The list of fields shown is not complete, as they clearly state. They may have a reason known only to them, don't ask me what it is, for holding back information on fields they did not show.
Nope. Doesn't work in my case. At least in reference to carbohydrates (simple and complex). More carbs = higher blood sugar.

Currently, diabetes type 2 dietitians say I can eat up to 60g carbs per meal. Well, see for yourself and tell me if you think that's a good idea in my case:

https://mega.nz/#!JwcSEAwC!zPqA1zVhA3zcLwLLZRJucc6AtT9zlHfNY...

Pay attention to row 37. I started with 143mg/dL . I made a meal that was much higher than I had anticipated. My high was 182mg/dL and lasted for about 3.5 hours until returning to before food numbers.

And that was just 12g carbohydrates (2/3 sugar, 1/3 complex).

If he wants to build the hardware: buy Arduino

If he wants to build the software: buy Raspberry (since the motherboard is already built)

Those are cheap so you could buy all of them :). I would personally recommend the Raspberry Pi because the default OS (wheezy raspbian) contains lot of resources to learn programming as a beginner. If you go on the Arduino way, buy the starter pack, as it contains a "cookbook" with many projects.

Your replies in this thread suggest that you take the public nature of voting registration lists to be axiomatic, but it is not; as the article discusses (and as I quoted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10801570 ), there are (more or less strict) laws regarding confidentiality of voter registration lists in some states, some of whose voters are affected by this breach.
AI Anxiety
There's isn't any conflicting data. There are only bad, biased research published which gets media attention with click-bait titles purposely to dilute actual reason and good science.

I challenge you to post some actual links to articles here which advocate a high-fat or low-carb diet. I can personally guarantee you it will 1) be sponsored by the Atkins foundation and/or animal agriculture business and 2) have obvious flaws in methodology which I'll gladly point out to you.

What I'll likely get instead are die-hard paleo freaks taking refuge in silent downvoting. They would rather not confront the overwhelming body of scientific evidence which disproves their "diets" and puts low-carb nonsense to shame.

> cholesterol doesn't pass through the gastric system into blood in any meaningful amounts.

Food is a packaged deal. You can't eat cholesterol-laden meals without also consuming vast amounts of saturated fat, for instance. What's clear beyond any shadow of a doubt is consuming a diet high in fat and cholesterol will massively increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, etc. Whatever nit-picked understanding you have of how cholesterol works in the human physiology will not refute this fact.

> I feel much more satiated when eating higher fat foods.

No surprise there, considering fat has 9 calories per gram, whereas other macronutrients only have 4. But what you've done by feeling satiated is miss out on nutritionally-dense foods and replace them with poor quality foods which just fill you up.

In the US, one benefit of two-tier structure is that employees can early exercise options at a very low stock price to get preferential tax treatment (taxed at long-term rate rather that ordinary income).

With all common it's likely too much money to exercise before a liquidity event, so early employees end up losing an extra 15% of their payout in taxes.
This whole Facebook Free Basics issue is painful to hear about. A corporation wants to provide free internet to the poorest of the poor people in the world, but the richer of the poorest people don't want that to happen, because the corporation has a business plan.

A company should and MUST make huge profits off helping poor, this is the only sustainable way by which people will be able to come out of poverty.

What you're basically describing in your comment is the concept of "cultural hegemony" [0] popularized by Gramsci in Marxist philosophy but superimposed on tech context.

Apple clearly acting as the bourgeoisie of the today's tech world where Microsoft is relegated to the proletarian rank and file and because of that Apple somewhat gets to dictate what are the accepted social and cultural norms in the tech world and we the proletariat have to just comply with their edicts or face some form of "tech ostracism".

"Sean is now pursuing another bachelor's degree, this time in computer science, from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. He is paying for this degree as he goes, with help from an internship program with the U.S. Navy."

Smart move. Maybe he will pay it all down some day. In this thread there are a lot of people saying you shouldn't take out a lot of loans to get a degree like journalism, and you shouldn't. I agree that is the type of degree that I would encourage someone to get as a second major, and/or from a state school.

Part of the problem here is that all of these people's parents grew up in a different time period where having a technical major was less important, schools were much cheaper, and it was easier to find jobs in general. Combine this with the utter lack of skilled and proper advising for freshmen coming into college.

You get there and you are 18 years old, have little concept of money and underdeveloped judgement skills. Then you go to your advisor who is a scatter-brained English professor with books all over his office. Advising for him is just one of those things you have to do as a professor but he isn't really there to advise and has no idea what to tell you, or his 100 other advisees. So then he asks you what you like and you tell him you like writing. There you go, major in journalism. Even then, some people might want to sign up for CS or Business but they lose the class signup lottery because those departments are under funded and don't have enough sections. Then they lose again for the next 3 semesters and are forced to declare a major in classes that they already have experience in.

There is no point where they explain the value of a degree to you and it can be difficult to understand for most people until they are 2 or 3 years in and suddenly realize that they are stuck in this path and can't go back to change majors because it would take more school and they can't take on more debt. You can't drop out and start over later because then you have to start paying those loans and don't have a degree at all.

tl;dr; it isn't just these kids making bad decisions, it is a dysfunctional system that leads people down paths that are convenient for the school, not necessarily for the students.
Synthetic bio enters the age of mass production
I've been thinking about a model where a startup/early-stage company would give NO shares on hiring, but instead slightly more salary and a generous (15% discount?) stock purchase program. That people feel less obligated to negotiate and employees get more flexible vesting (month-to-month).

I have no idea how that would work with pre-IPO companies, tax implications, etc but it feels more fair to me.

On a similar note, I wish there were better ways to prevent dilution among early-stage employees. They ostensibly generated the value that investors are buying, so why must they lose out on every funding round? Of course, employees could negotiate for more options on every round but not everyone will do so.
It's probably whether or not you voted in those races, not who you voted for.

That said, both RNC and DNC databases track who you are likely to have voted for in each race, but that's just a guess. It's a secret ballot. Nobody knows who you voted for.
