> ride the subway

If you take public trans all the time, then you're doing a lot of walking. Trans takes you close enough but the 'last mile' is always on foot. That's a decent amount of exercise, at least compared to someone who is always driving. This is how I grew up and when I was older, the move to the suburbs was pretty jarring. Everyone got fatter as we stopped getting all that city walking. Worse, the suburbs didn't have a lot of healthy food options. So you drove more and ate crappier.

A pack of cigarettes in NYC is around $13. In a poor rural or suburban community, its half that. A lot of the urban poor simply can't afford smoking anymore. This must certainly affect things, at least as much as anti-smoking PSAs.

NYC also has 1.1m Jews, who tend to have a slightly higher than average life expectancy, especially the religiously observant who follow strict dietary limits. That might skew things a little as well.
Yes, yes - sometimes my incantations are too brief.

There are a lot of factors that may have correlation to health outcome. The fact that something is correlated does not, as journalists will often suggest, imply that there is a causation effect. The fact that the poor in some locations are more healthy is a good hint that being poor is not the direct cause of their health issues. But being poor is a root cause of many adversities in any society that doesn't treat health, education, and other such things as basic human rights.

To my mind this really throws the excesses of the financial industry into light.

The sum of money reportedly made David Cameron's father, as the director of a long-established stock brokerage, is less than some of my 25-year-old friends were earning as relatively junior employees at London investment banks in 2008 (£200k+ pa).
Yes but, don't you only need to run to burn off the extra calories? If you stick to your ideal calorie intake why the need to run? If it's 2500 calories I'd think you only need that 8.5 miles of running when consuming 3350 daily calories.
So should the police do the same? No need for search warrants anymore...

The core of it is this: Cylinders does not necessarily equal more power; it usually equals more displacement. Displacement does not equal more power on its own.

You can have a six cylinder with more power than a V8. And that was before a few big technologies went mainstream: Turbocharging and direct injection.

Now you have Ford shipping a V6 as their main truck engine in their F150 because it is turbocharged and direct injected. Both of these technologies allow smaller engines to produce more horsepower and torque without the need for additional displacement and cylinders.

Ford's V6 with these two technologies is not only more powerful than a lot of current-generation V8s, but it is way more powerful than a lot of V8s used to be.

Even before these fancy new technologies, I used to drive an Acura with 200+ hp from a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine.

The amount of cylinders is pretty good short-hand for how much gas an engine will roughly use, but it's a less useful guide to how powerful an engine is anymore.

And with more and more cars gaining electric motors to augment gas engines, things are changing even more.

The first thing you do before investing in a new market is asking the question: "What's the return on this? Will anyone buy the things I'm selling? Are the margins positive?"

Having a lot of money searching for an investment won't do you any good when your widget factories don't have customers. Yes, borrowing money to build the factory will be cheap - but you still expect the factory to produce a return on your investment!
I think the question may be regarding indexing HN itself, not the sites-linked-to. If I wanted to find discussion about "what would a horizon look like ... " by searching those terms, would reddit be favored because of those terms in the URL?
- We don't have the breadth of Safelight's material (early days I guess), but the areas we cover, we do a much better job. It was our frustration with this kind of training material that inspired us to make Hacksplaining in the first place:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkQgVO993W8

Our exercises are interactive, rather than passive, and focus on specific ways to fix code, rather abstract concepts. Compare with what we have on SQL injection:

https://www.hacksplaining.com/exercises/sql-injection

We started with the question "what are the essential things we would want our development team to know?" and then figured out the most compelling way to teach about them.

- We are talking to a couple of firms that we could partner with to help establish credibility. It's a bit of Catch-22 selling this kind of training material - people buy your product on the basis of who your existing customers are, to some extent. Finding an established player to work with would really give us a leg up.

- Most companies reluctantly pay for security training, precisely because so much of it is onsite and expensive. Making security training mandatory for developers is a good policy for a CTO of a large company (particularly if they have been hacked recently), but it's generally impractical to send to send everyone out for a 5-day course. We hope engaging, online material can fill that niche.

> A computer is now an essential way to get things done in the modern world and to participate in the market economy.

I would say Internet is the essential way, not computers. Take the Internet out and the equation changes completely and you can't do much without it. Take the computers out, it still remains a valid statement.

You can use any devices you want to get on the Internet; computers, smartphones, tablets, and so on. It is up to you and you do not "need" any specific device, you "want" the smartphone because it is the most convenient portable device you can use.

Do everyone need computers? No, do everyone need Internet? Most yes, it may be the only way to pay bills for some, it may be the only way to securely communicate in an oppressive country, and so on.

You can use libraries to get access to the Internet without owning any of the electronics. So, no, people don't need these devices but they may need the Internet and they want the devices to make their life easier.
You used to eat 3 cups of cereal every morning? That's a lot of cereal. If I were hungry enough to eat that much cereal, I'd probably want something that felt more substantial (e.g. eggs, breakfast sandwich).

I mean, yes, it's totally possible to eat 1000 calories for breakfast. I still don't think it's typical. Why would you even want that OJ after eating 3 whole cups of cereal? Also, how do you not just end up hyperobese eating like this, assuming you're not just cutting the calories from a later meal. A 300-Calorie/day excess will put on nearly 40 pounds every year, and I'd expect anyone eating 1000 Calories for breakfast every day to either be very active or else be eating at least 300 Calories too many per day.

That spreadsheet includes tables for effective income before + after tax.

As he's quoting the £160k, which is from the table before tax, he must have used the before tax figures so that's not relevant.
Encrypted Deployments: The challenges behind putting your security first
Thank you for checking it out. We totally agree with you. I think we should have spent more time getting the right market fit.

We want to make Finance as cool as programming. I think you pointed out the chief advantage yourself, books sometimes do get boring ( we love books but not everybody has the time or the inclination) . By making this platform we can have access to a much larger user base and just add a little bit of fun to sometimes not too exciting (but very essential) concepts of finance.

We have also thought about adding financial advisors ( WAY into the future), partnering with schools to bring this to teenagers who are about to leave for universities and guiding the audience to tools ( partnering with other companies that provide such tools ) or providing them with same tools.

But in the starting we want to stay focussed on just making educational content.The paradigm is shifting to learning stuff online and we hope to take advantage of that.

> First with Haswell introducing the fused multiply add, suddenly all the 'peak flops' numbers doubled, which is technically true, but only if everything you do is a fused multiply add (with no cache misses of course).

Yeah, FMA (fused multiply-adds).

Better or worse, it's de facto standard to quote one FMA as two FLOPS, because it's a very commonly combined operation.

Yeah, AFAIK, they're (mostly) pipelined and dual issue per clock.
If it's fresh squeezed, not concentrated, and you drink a small amount it's probably the best source of potassium around. Even better than eating a banana I hear. I have heart palpitations when I get low potassium so, I eat a banana or have and orange to supplement.
We could certainly do even better nowadays. Rather than get campaign funds from taxpayers, we could have the state run a web service for candidates to debate, posit positions, etc. You would need to expand library computer access to let those without technology access the information, but the status quo is already bad enough its an improvement all around.

Then you abolish private campaign funding and advertising.
I'm not sure about that. The cost of living is a lot higher in major cities like NYC. They may earn more in absolute dollars, but comparing the purchasing power with their counterparts in less populous parts of the country, I would guess that poor New Yorkers are much worse off, even when you consider the added costs for owning a decent used car in other areas.

"Millionthaires" as in 1 in a...
Life:

The other thing is that although one starts with grand ideas of being clean and orderly, by the end the process is somewhat of a mess, with a complicated makefile to keep it running.
During the periods of reduced service, I could always hop on a 6 train at 116th Street, while people who lived in the UES had to wait hours for a spot on a train. I was pleasantly surprised to see that even the wealthiest and most powerful New Yorkers respected the unwritten rules of MTA etiquette.
Your 1) above, indicating that a "lot" of programmers can funnel work through "private consulting companies" and get "15% effective tax rate" can be highly misleading to those (inside or outside the US) unfamiliar with how the tax code works here.

In fact, if you are costing the same to your patron as either a consultant or employee (meaning, say, they outlay $100k for some number of hours of your labor, but indifferent as to how) it's far from clear that you can legally make for a much better tax situation by running it through a consulting company.

A. Normally an employer and employee each pay about 7.5% (total 15%) in payroll deductions; these are split ER/EE in a normal situation. In a self-employed situation, you pay both parts yourself. No real advantage.

B. Your private consulting company must be a pass-through entity (disregarded for taxation) otherwise it must pay taxes at its level. If it is not a pass-through, you can pay yourself favorable dividend rates from the profits, but you'll have to have paid income tax on those profits first at the corporate level. Oops.

C. Either way, once that money gets through your consulting company to you as earned income -- either direct or passed-through to you, or paid to you as salary through the company -- you'll be paying ordinary tax rates.

D. The rejoinder here by the unexperienced or the lax of compliance is "hey, but you can just deduct everything you ever spend as an expense of the company, and so you really can cut down on the reported income!" The problem here is that most things you can deduct legally as a consulting company you could also deduct as an individual. Mileage for travel, necessary expenses, etc. You can't (legally) deduct your shoes, your Netflix, your bar tab, your kids' tuition, etc.

(That said -- there ARE situations where you would do much better with Schedule C business income, but they tend to be where complications other than "I write software for an hourly rate" come into play, like other losses to offset, equipment expenses, interest expenses, flexibility in setting up and administering tax-advantaged benefits accounts, etc.)

E. The Internal Revenue Code is complicated for many reasons, but it's not just mindless. A good way to think about it is this:

The likelihood that there exists a perfectly legal, lucrative, opt-in alternative means of structuring an otherwise economically identical arrangement for IRS purposes; such likelihood is inversely proportional to the number of taxpayers (not $ of tax collectible) who could take advantage of it.

More cynically put: the tax regime is fairly watertight for those who sell their labor for money, and all of the leaks and loopholes are at much higher levels, tending to deal with those whose money begets money.
Insecure by default might be slightly unfair... but insecure by design might be more accurate.

A concrete example: the Drupal convention is to move as much behaviour as possible out of code and into configuration. This configuration is generally controlled by admin panels. Eg, if you have access to administer Views, you basically have access to export pretty much any content to anywhere in whatever format you want.

I think that's a pretty crappy design. If you believe that this sort of administration is useful, then you want to have user accounts with permission to do it. But then if you do that, any account with those permissions is an enormous vulnerability.

I get the benefit for some use cases. I just think that (like a lot of things in Drupal), it has pretty unpleasant implications for a lot of situations. Maybe not critical by itself... but it feels like at every layer of Drupal there's some shortsighted design decision that encourages insecurity.
There are actually an infinite number of numbers greater than 1024. For the sake of brevity, I'll refrain from listing them though.
Panama Papers hacked through a WordPress vulnerability
Those cheat sheets baffle me. I cannot imagine that someone who needs help remembering, to pick a few examples, that

a^m a^n = a^(m+n)

or that

y = mx + b

is a line will be able to use those facts in a real-world problem, with the cheat sheet in hand.

For those who used these and found them useful: did you really use them as cheat sheets, that is, to look up things while working on a problem, or did you use them more as a checklist before entering an exam, to check that you remembered most of them?

Agreed. About few years ago my credit score (which I checked semi-regularly) took a ~150 point dive, because a collection showed up on it from a $120 medical bill I had four years before.

I had had an internship in another state, went to a clinic with a case of strep throat, they took my information, made a copy of my insurance card, I paid a co-pay, and I thought that was it. Unfortunately, the clinic lost (according to them) the copy of my insurance card, the address they had was entered incorrectly, and no one bothered to call me...

Anyway, I called up the collections agency listed on my credit report, the guy seemed reasonable, I got his name and employee number, paid the bill on the spot, and it completely disappeared from my report the next week. It took just a few minutes on the phone -- poof!

I would be careful about making sure you really owe the money in the first place. In my case, this really should have been paid by insurance four years ago, and a call to the clinic confirmed my suspicions that it was staffed by apathetic morons. The collections agency, on the other hand -- a pleasure to deal with! Much easier to just pay it and move on with my life.

And, yes, there's always the "chargeback" option, although, technically, I'm not sure that would be allowed under your credit card contract. You need to pay the debt because you owe it, and showing that you can take the money back if it doesn't disappear from your report might be tricky, if push came to shove. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten something in writing, but collections agencies don't really have a motivation to be assholes for no reason -- if you pay them, they probably don't want trouble later on.
I worked on the original port of Chrome to Linux. At that time Firefox was much slower than Chrome on Linux. I think one reason was because Firefox relied more on calls into X for drawing (e.g. I believe they used xrender for compositing alpha channels), where Chrome bypassed all of that (just did all its work in a pixel buffer, which is also why we had so many problems with system fonts and system widgets etc.). Unfortunately especially on a platform like Linux where graphics drivers aren't great you're often better off avoiding the system. I imagine OpenBSD is similar -- like if they're using OpenBSD's malloc instead of their faster jemalloc that likely costs a lot.

I also know Chrome also makes a million calls to gettimeofday so it is effectively relying on the Linux vdso performance.

When you are running the same software on multiple OSes side by side (like Chrome on Windows followed immediately on Linux) it sets your expectation for what is acceptable performance. (It's probably worth mentioning here that Firefox on Linux today is much better than used to be.) I appreciate that OpenBSD has a different culture and goals but I feel sorry for them that they don't get a good browser because of it.

Actually, I have been hearing more and more about athletes who train in ketosis. It would be especially attractive to an ultramarathon athlete to be able to burn fat for fuel. (This relates more to a high-fat diet than a high-protein diet you mention.)

I've seen a video by Dr. Peter Attia, who was a triathlete, but found he carried a lot of body fat despite his training regimin. https://youtu.be/hB7aGnfLB-8
I see, thanks.
It'd be interesting to have people take a lab test right before going on a keto diet and then repeating it at fixed intervals to see how it affects the results.
