They get oxidized more easily. Arterial plaque is oxidized fatty acids. Fatty acids are essential to cell wall formation. Deductively, fatty acids which are more susceptible to reactive oxidation species (aka free radicals) will lead to more cell damage. It's an interesting topic and the nutritional science (PUBMED) is very far away from the popular perception (ex Time magazine).

I second bcook's response.

I have a good friend of mine who moved locally from the Kansas City area. He was a union carpenter, electrician, and framer there, so he approached our union hall. They snagged him up the same day, and was out on site the next.

He has full benefits. 401k, insurance, vacation, sick pay, etc... And he works for the union hall. He decides the radius where he works, and gets paid 38-52k year, depending on the specifics of the job.

Contracts last here from 6 months-2 years, just because there is that much work available.

I've honestly given thought going down that path, purely because everywhere needs construction. It's damn useful for houses to high rises.
Have you met an average user? The mandatory updates, lack of permissions and sandboxing are only a good thing for a user with typical computer literacy level.

Hell, even lack of window management in iOS/Android systems is making UX much more easier to understand for majority of users I know. My granddad, who was an excellent mechanical engineer, have been using computers for the last 20 years, and he still struggles with click/double-click distinction.
This sounds pretty great. The question I would have is whether the nano texture may or may not damage the inside of the body. Will it tear the tissue it's going through in a different manner than a non textured material. This could make the insertion harder and the healing process longer.

Apply HN: Magako, AI for Math Tutoring
Magako is an AI based on symbolic mathematics to help teenagers in math. Think of something like Mathematica used to correct math exercises and show hints when a student is stuck. The UI allows to solve exercises interactively as shown in this video: https://youtu.be/honHcFguXsQ

I know there are many apps or websites offering some kind of online math exercises, but I believe the AI makes Magako unique.

I have built a prototype version for the web ( http://magako.com ) and for Android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.test.magako ), the latter having a bit more math content.
In my opinion, what's important to some categories of users is high information density. This is what makes the 'ugly' Craigslist design useful to its users, the ability to have a bird's-eye view of potential navigation paths throughout the site because it reduces the number of steps needed to perform towards a certain goal and makes evaluation easier, without distractions.
Sure, if all users believe in "use what works for you", they shouldn't get pissed off when others make jokes on that. *nix users are not going to like it, but in real world comparisons are bound to happen for things of same categories and you can't prevent that. Better to move on, and that was the reason I wrote my comment.
Law firms have far less security and IT sophistication than banks or the NSA. It makes you wonder if we'll see an all out assault by leakers on these soft institutions.

Actually I like it that we have not a broad big big standard which includes MathML which only ~0,1% of people care about in the browser.

Did you read the article? That's exactly what we have right now. The author's #1 complaint is that MathML is currently a part of HTML5.

He would like it to be removed from the HTML standard so that MathML could evolve on its own, rather than being constrained by its status as a web standard that's not actually implemented by browsers.
Sorry for off-topic, but have a legal question regarding Windows Insider. Is it legal to install Insider build without activation and keep it running if it stay in fast updates ring?

Currently updates postpone temporary license expiration, but I can't find an answer how licensing work actually. I only run Windows in VM and I don't want to mess my 8.1 system with genuine license.
The majority of the private servers are either WOD or MOP, there are virtually no TBC servers and Nost was one of the few vanilla servers.

There are allot of WOTLK servers because WOTLK was the most "popular" patch of WoW and allot of work on both the emulation and the database was done for that patch.

However private servers for Cata, MoP, and WoD came out pretty much almost hand in hand with live release, they were and still are utterly garbage but most private servers are.

This is quite big it's the first time for quite a long while that Blizzard went to close an private server, and it's the first time that the server in question was not hosted in the US/CA and was not anywhere close to emulating retail content.

The content that is available on Nostralius is literally not available on any live server any more since Cataclysm which altered all the original "vanilla" content.

This might actually also be interesting to see if this can actually go to court, the server emulation (if done as a clean room) does not infringe on Blizzards actual IP, all the text, sounds, textures models are present on the client side alone the server holds only an itemized database of objects and knows how to communicate with the client.

In fairness, the raw product of music has the advantage of being very cheap to produce. A lot of the value that the industry provides is in marketing. There's also an extent to which bands can afford to give away music on generous terms, because they can use it to publicise other, non-reproducible forms of entertainment like gigs.

By contrast, with the exception of a small minority of films that rake in on merchandising, in the movie/tv industry the film is the only real product. That product is extremely expensive to make. If everyone only streamed Netflix to consume video, the industry would have to drastically reduce investment in making original content. That might be an acceptable outcome to many people, but I can see why the industry would want/need to fight it.
Can you give some examples of corruption that actually hindered you? I consider corruption to be a minor-to-non-existent problem for areas like IT/tech here.

The main problem to me is the lack of entrepreneurship and the fact that there are lots of "stealth-startups" in Romania that will probably not even be incorporated in Romania ever, so they'll never show up on the radar as "Romanian startups", they will simply "pack up the whole team and move" abroad after the first big foreign investor spots them and invests/acquires with a "relocation requirement".

There are also entrepreneurs that run their companies disguised as outsourcing-shops while the real startup is actually the outsourcing-shop's client registered somewhere like USA-Delaware/Hongkong/whatever because it leads to better perspective from the customers. Of course, this is also a short term arrangement before the team of the company is swallowed by a bigger fish.

There is a lot going on, but int this part of the world very few of what's happening actually shows up on the radar as what it is.

Also... coming back to corruption, imho the greatest problem is lack of entrepreneurial spirit because the society and education actively discourages smart people from becoming entrepreneurs... so they end up engineers, doctors etc. ...or emigrate. Corruption really makes little difference because real innovation doesn't happen while working on projects for the state anyway. I think that a certain level of corruption can even help economic growth if used selectively - ie a bribe that sabotages a bigger international corporation from getting a contract for a state-financed development project in favor of a local startup (where, for example, one of the investors happens to be a local senator or whatever... probably not the best example but to get the point across) can actually result in more money funneling back into the local economy and fueling its growth... Everything can be a double edged sword in the bigger economic game.

The American obsession with corruption in other countries is imho more out of fear of being out-maneuvered by foreign local businessmen in the international economic game when it comes to uderhanded tactics :) (see http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/... for context)

I used VRML to render in realtime, 1994-99, using low end video game cards (overclocked) that output hi-res video, full screen Cosmo Player, record live to tape.

Retakes were trivial, frame rates were 100fps interlaced to video, silky movement - could even take live camera direction.

Otherwise rendering took weeks and most of the budget, mostly contracted for theatre backdrops & live VJing. IMHO VRML died because it was pre open source, Cosmo was locked up tight and never updated.

Realtime in browser 3D from 1994 to 1999, proto-machinima, fun times.
They could still outsource running old versions to a third party (with some sort of revenue share). They could have let these guys continue to run, sanction it but demand they charge X$ and pay y% of that to Blizzard.

There are some pretty obvious downsides to that plan but it's an option.

There's a kind of fetish in design for modernism, futurism, and this kind of "sleek commercial humanism" (someone coin a better phrase).

The cliché is a self-taught designer in a minimalist loft in some gentrified inner city, drinking espresso from an expensive vintage machine, obsessively cleaning their wooden slab desk, listening to post-techno or whatever...

...making designs that look like they signify design... with some new or rediscovered modernist sans serif font... matching pastel colors... tasteful transitions... high-resolution photographs that signify urban creative prosumerism...

It's a kind of functional tradition, but as a whiny outsider I'm really getting sick of it. So I like this article because it's just highlighting that there are other values to aspire for, not just these matte white ideals of OCD modernism.

Reminds me of a video from some old RubyConf, I think, after a presentation about how "beauty corresponds to quality", some humanist in the audience asked a thoughtful question like "the type of beauty you've explained seems mostly like a classical or modernist ideal; what about stuff like postmodern notions of beauty, could that be relevant too?"

(Ruby itself is ugly and messy, a weird mix of Perl and Smalltalk... Hacker News is ugly and messy... even the interfaces polished to look simple and clean turn out to be ugly and messy when you look closer, so maybe part of it is just about honesty.)

How will they pick up the crowd who chooses their OS because it's mostly FOSS and not a branch of the NSA used for mass data collection? Most devs I know care about privacy and it was one of the main reasons they switched from Windows.

Most Linux programmers I know aren't Windows devs as much as the MS shill team would like everyone on social media to believe.

You don't have to be part of the FOSS crowd to support FOSS. I'd wager the majority of the programmers you know would be ecstatic for Windows or OS X to go open source, and if they use OS X/iOS they probably do care about their privacy.

I don't know a single developer that uses a windows phone or a Windows workstation purely out of choice, most devs I know that are ingrained in Windows are using it because they have to.

Stack overflow statistics show that programmers disproportionately choose OS X and Linux over Windows when compared to typical desktop usage (Linux use skyrockets among programmers compared to desktop).

These "Linux programmers who want Windows" only exist on the internet as far as I can tell. No one actually wants to use Windows.
Yes. In terms of content, most of Hollywood's movies don't reach any more depth than your average comic. The PG rating system is only concerned with maintaining a standard of purity, it doesn't reflect a movie's story depth.
I understand that I'm a minority but the point remains: Why would the movie industry follow the streaming model when Spotify shows that nobody's earninng a living with that solution?
Although it's not really up to HMRC, they have to work through Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs), which the Thatcher and Major governments ushered in. Some people have become and will continue to become very wealthy from these deals. You might think that some of those beneficiaries might have been in government when PFI rules were introduced, and remain today - but you can't prove it, as the money trail usually goes cold offshore.

Netflix can buy DVDs at retail prices and rent them out over and over. If it want to put pressure on content companies it wants the DVD part of the business to be as robust as possible. That way it can say "We'd love to stream your stuff, but we don't really need to. We're really sort of doing you a favor here."
This distinction is a lot more obvious with music and books than it is with television.
This is a good idea, however you will have crazy safety problems here. What would prevent your "guide" to fake stumbling upon pickpockets or worse. I surely wouldn't hire anyone who is not certified one way or another.

Bloat happens when programmers don't care about (or don't understand) what code actually does and what the tradeoffs down the line are going to be. Bloat happens when code is produced cheaply and quickly. Bloat happens when there is a cultural stereotype that having produced a bloated piece of code means you're smart.

Bloat is not the same as complexity, but they are related. Bloat is not always bad, or even perceivable as such by the consumer of the code, but at the same time it's also never good. Bloat is a natural accumulation tradeoff decisions.

Anybody who writes code produces bloat, because writing software is an exploratory activity towards solving a problem set. There is no way to always know where the bottlenecks are going to be, and where your chosen abstractions will break down. The difference between doing good work and bad is that the programmer doing good work will revisit decisions and refactor things ruthlessly down the line. The programmer doing bad work simply doesn't care, is too pressed for time, or writes code in a way that makes refactoring prohibitive.

Personally, I think a good litmus test for bloat is how much the code you're writing actually achieves for the effort you put into it. If you find yourself constantly massaging and circumventing the limitations of your boundary layers, that's a big warning sign. If you are using a library or framework that prolongs and complicates the effort of solving your problem compared to the expected effort of doing it from scratch, then that library is clearly not useful. Using it regardlessly is a deficiency in the critical thinking required to make good decisions in programming.

Indeed - their website http://www.mapeley.com/OurApproach/Customers/HMRC.aspx

The key thing is HMRC sold their properties off and then paid rent to stay there - rightly or wrongly that was the craze for a while.

The issue was they sold them to a company registered overseas. The criticism is that the Government shouldn't have done that, or at least heavily penalised that when considering bids because of the future loss of tax revenue. Worth mentioning this isn't about currency evil Tory cuts, the buildings were sold off in 2001 under the party now in opposition.
Life of a Startup Founder, Explained in GIFs
If the utility of the application provides more value than the pain of the interface then people will use it because it's worthwhile; in other words users will put up with the crap if they're getting enough value out of it.

It's worth noting that all of these examples are world-class, industry-leading applications in their respective domains. People use them in spite of the interface. If your app hasn't proven itself to be in that class then an ugly, messy interface isn't going to work.
More people should definitely try out sam and 9term as examples of how much code/features you don't really need and can still get real work done.

Personally, I wish sam had even less complexity and features than it currently does and thus be more understandable and hackable. Also, never going back to a normal terminal again, "dumb" terminals are awesome.

And actually, this experience has lead to a philosophy of software where I think the "dumb"er a piece of software the better and more reliable/performant it is likely to be. So I'm also hugely skeptical of the current Deep AI efforts leading to anywhere good.

Like other eastern european countries, Romanians suffer greatly with poor branding and "western-centrism".

While in Germany, I watched clear demonstrations of discrimination towards Romanians in a tech startup. They really had to prove themselves. Although extremelly talented, "jokes" would always fly around the "gypsy stereotype".

That being said, as a startup founder, I'd assume it'd be much harder to raise money from an UK VC firm.
> I have friends who are in the IT industry, making good money, and who are genuinely ashamed of how much money they make.

Not just them. I feel the same when I hear that I earn more on my 28-hour-a-week job than my brothers working full-time as civil engineers (including night shifts and lots of overtime).
I disagree, the Ipod had the best interface ever! It's pure brilliance that should be held as a school example in UI design.

What is XML good at? (by good I mean better than alternatives like JSON, YAML, HAML, etc)

I don't feel that this article has a point. For example if you don't like the ui of Facebook you will still use it because there is no alternative (yet). There are so many factors at play like lack of alternatives you don't take into account. I personally think that Craigslist for example is very well organized. Just because it is not material design it can be good.
