Sort of. The glycemic index is not really useful because it is based on arbitrary quantities of food. Glycemic load was created to be useful to people, as it is based on reasonable quantities people would eat. Like GI says watermelon is bad because its calories come from sugar. But it is based on eating 100g of carbs from watermelon. That's a huge amount of watermelon, which is mostly water. GL shows watermelon is fine, because you only eat 10g of carbs from it in a normal serving.
I can imagine it's preventing someone from getting _into_ the language in the sense that if you run into such a situation, you don't have the mental tools to solve it, and it won't feel just a mosquito bite but worse. Even if you manage to solve it, there's the nagging feeling that there might be more annoying hurdles to overcome – but you don't know yet, so you are prone to give it up and use your time for something else.

We made a pact with the devil when as a society we decided to believe that our primary homes would also double as investment vehicles that will appreciate in value and help us fund our retirement.
It's not a great comparison because Gowalla had essentially no competitive advantage, whereas Lyft at least has the chance to have one. Gowalla competed on "better design" for a while but ultimately the network effect of Foursquare mattered far more. Lyft is making headway in some cities so I think they're doing fine.

Two doors from my house is a deluxe 3 unit condo building that has been uninhabited for years. Not once have I seen any evidence of anyone living there. The units went for little under $2 million apiece. It makes me wonder what will happen if/when China has a financial crisis and people start trying to liquidate their offshore piggy banks.
> Until the South Bay gets serious about mass transit, merely adding more housing is only going to make the traffic pain worse.

This seems very chicken-and-egg. SF has a million dollars in its annual budget tied up in maintaining the status quo for homelessness -- if those people had homes, that money could get redirected into mass transit.
>>Or an example of how we don't learn from history

Of course we learn from history. The thing you have to understand is that everything is working as intended. F-35, and programs like it, are a way to use public money to create private sector jobs. They aren't meant to be efficient or even effective means to develop and manufacture military hardware.

You can see a direct analogy of this in the space sector, where SpaceX came along and severely disrupted the incumbents by doing things efficiently.
Contempt is only supposed to be for when someone's action brings the mechanism of a trial to a halt. Refusing to do an action that the court thinks it's allowed to compel you to do is an example.

Say she waits two days. The phone won't be unlocked with a fingerprint now; it requires a passcode, and the court can't compel someone to provide a passcode in the same way that it can compel them to provide fingerprints.

Contempt wouldn't be a valid charge anymore, at that point. If the judge won't recognize that, the prisoner/suspect could appeal.

The above is my understanding of the theory of how it works. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it works differently in practice.

Not all bubbles are the same. Credit is free and money is inefficiently allocated. Just because we are not seeing price inflation, that does not mean that all is well. The global economy has been unravelling for the past year as central banks push assets into equities which would not "deserve" the investment without a manipulated yield curve.
These aren't simple 'apps'. These tools solve several NP complete problems, with decades of research in algorithms behind them. It is near impossible for a startup to compete with Cadence. Most startups are just plugins to Cadence that improve a tiny part of the flow, usually written in SKILL. And when they get good enough, Cadence acquires them.
I wrote the article, ask me anything.
It has a weird gravity that tends to bring people back, but I agree there isn't a ton of incentive to come back or anchor here unless a great job opens up (which did so for me but ymmv).

To be fair, I think that all of the rust belt cities sit on an economic spectrum that runs from Flint/Youngstown all the way to Pittsburg/Chicago. Cleveland has teetered towards both sides at different times. It's trending towards a more healthy post-industrial identity now, but could really use a shake-up in the city leadership.
> (2) the resolution here is only 360p

This is really the biggest one. Google has been using low-resolution test material for VP10, and back in September [1] were claiming only a 10% reduction over VP9 on CIF resolution material (352x288). Neither VP9 nor HEVC get anywhere close to their claimed 50% improvement over H.264 on this kind of material (both save around 20%).

So seeing 7...8% reductions at similar resolutions just from a better encoder is pretty significant. It would be great to see how it scales beyond 720p.

I'm thinking about moving to either Bay Area or Los Angeles with a family, from Prague. I have a 7 years old kid. I am not sure if that's the right thing. We're doing it for the climate. It's really difficult to find a warm English-speaking country where you won't be culturally isolated from the rest of the world. I can work pretty much from anywhere, however I am not a magnate. Things definitely to be missed:

- Prague's ultra-affordability (avg. salary is about $1,000/mo, so if you're selling to global market you can live with luxury)
- travel opportunities--I'm in the middle of everything
- proximity to relatives
- great British school--very liberal, easy international atmosphere, we're lucky
- overall "easygoingness"
- full decriminalization (no problem in CA)
- economically uniform society, although sometimes it's a double-edged sword
- no requirement for pretending being a patriot

Things I will not miss:
- very short summer, always feeling cold, gloomy skies
- crappy food, although it's improving fast lately.

Am I crazy? Where would you move if you'd want a good weather? I enjoy Berlin immensely, but it's too cold. I'd move to London, but it's cold. I hate being cold.
Gary Taubes is a fraud. He deliberately misrepresents research the scientists he quotes out of context in his books have come out repeatedly saying this.

Anecdotally, I usually feel dramatically better when I fast. There is an incredible mental clarity and productivity that itself makes fasting worth it. I don't feel tired when I fast - in fact, I often feel like I could easily go for a 10-mile run.

FWIW, it takes getting used to. If you drop everything and do a 24-hour fast after years of "6 meals a day", you will feel cold, irritable, and unproductive.

Also, coffee is a powerful thing.
I will turn 40 later this summer, and I am reacting in none of those ways; I simply can't get enough meaning out of the writer's highly coded stylization to understand whether there is a point worth reacting to. What little I can get out of it sounds like a translation from a foreign culture; I don't live in the author's world.

Not true. There is an adage that the government can force you to produce the key to a lock, but not the combination to a safe.

It just so happens that, today, the government can compel you to perform a physical gesture that, by proxy, happens to be used as a key on a device that normally accepts a combination. If it's been 48 hours since your finger was last applied to the Touch ID sensor on an iPhone, that "key" doesn't work any more. So, until the fingerprint is accepted by the courts as a "combination" (effectively, that's how the "common man" sees it, and which the courts treat as testimony-by-proxy) rather than a physical gesture (not testimony at all, and currently easily compelled), the only defense one has (if using Touch ID) is to stall for 48 hours.

2) How does the KDB performance compare to doing the equivalent operations on a Pandas DataFrame (which, since these are simple in-memory operations, seems like the only fair comparison).

Yes, to a degree, several modern fighter aircraft have run into significant cost and schedule overruns due to the additional complexity born of new advanced capabilities.

However, the F-35's woes are particularly bad because of some disastrous decisions made early on with the project.

First, the government decided not to start out with drafting detailed requirements for the JSF like they have for previous aircraft (and other weapon systems). The idea was that defense contractors know how to build planes so they could cut out some red tape. As it turned out, the result was a large number of oversights due to the contractors vision not lining up with the military's needs.

There was also a large reliance on computer simulation in lieu of real world testing. Predictably there were some sizable problems simulation did not catch, which resulted in major revamps and retrofits.

In the development of any weapons platform one would expect issues to be found in real-world testing with prototypes. But with the F-35 the government approved "concurrent production" which meant that production F-35's were getting built before all of the testing was complete. This resulted in extremely costly retrofits of existing aircraft everytime a major problem was identified (and fixed). Right now there are about 170 production F-35's out there, and operational testing is far from finished.

Put all of these facets together and it's a much worse situation than what we had with the F-22. Cost is tracking at around 200% more expensive than anticipated, and that's assuming we won't see a big drop in the number of aircraft partner nations order.

Alternatively, repealing Prop 13, so that property taxes rise with the value. Or increasing property taxes as you get more homes. Both of these would decrease housing prices significantly.
Or we could tax foreign investment properties at a higher rate. "Remove barriers and let the market work" isn't the only solution to any given problem.

Denver has so many wonderful things, but this undercurrent of "I hate all the new people" is so gross. I've encountered it in situations where I'm literally handing money over to someone who is bitching about people moving here.
Don't look at Denver, it's all stoners from the green wave and Tebow fans now. Maybe Austin?
Ah yes. Wake up a few extra hours before sunrise to load crisp, clean-burning coal into a furnace. Then fiddle with dials waiting for it to come up to pressure without exploding. Then drag a cast iron boiler and tons of water (!) on tiny wheels across muddy fields, generating 15 horsepower. Built to scale!
Austin is green. Like, very green. I was genuinely surprised when I moved here last year.
Yeah because the herd mentality has shown to be correct so often.

C'mon you know what you are saying is wrong. I worked in SV/SF and now live in NYC and I much prefer the tech scene here. In fact there's a massive shortage of programmers so you could actually make more money in NYC.

But you don't even need to live there. You can work remote. Programming is one of the only jobs you can do literally from anywhere.
I moved to the area a few months ago for my career, and while I wouldn't say I hope to leave soon, I don't plan on putting down roots. My hope is to save up some money and buy a cheap house in cash where the cost of real estate and living is cheap, then move there. I suspect that there are a lot of other people that are looking to do the same.
Why are people astonished?

For more than a decade researchers have been able to get access to large deidentified datasets. As a PhD student I have access to data on 150 Million visits by 45 Million patients. In some ways the data and access I have is superior to that of Google & NHS (since UK is a tiny country in comparison to USA), and I am just a PhD student. Though I have been working on it for last 5 years.

Recently there is a new qualified entity program run by CMS which provides access to Medicare data.

No, I'd wager the comb got confiscated because the TSA agent thought it looked cool and wanted one.
Except no one decided that - it falls naturally out of the facts that homes are expensive (and therefore represent a large chunk of the wealth of most people) and that homes do not depreciate very much as a result of people living in them.
Even after factoring in for cost of living adjustments Cleveland isn't worth it for me. It's still a huge pay cut and while there are a few interesting start-ups, big businesses still dominate (Progressive, GE, Philips, Key Bank, The Fed, IBM, etc) and don't have the standard developer-friendly attitude of a lot of west coast tech companies do.

I say this as someone that graduated from CWRU. Cleveland doesn't want developers badly enough to increase wages and benefits. This is all super unfortunate since I still fly out to Ohio several times a year to visit family and it would have been nice to stay in the region.
Ask HN: Modular Fullstack Frameworks?

i get the idea but it's not true. the tables enumerating the tariffs and such on different classes of products alone can take thousands of pages, and there generally isn't anything so malicious in there. they get incredibly specific. for example in the section of the TPP relating to Chile, there are three subcategories of "articles for Christmas festivities." Another example of how specific they get is a class "Endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section, of an outside circumference exceeding 60cm but not exceeding 180cm"

edit: I should clarify that it's a tariff elimination schedule, so it's thousands of pages describing exactly how quickly the tariffs drop to 0. Most lines of the table are "Year 1: 0%." As to why some products have a more gradual decline over a few years, I don't know, probably some special interest influence, true. A small change in tariffs can mean life or death to certain businesses.
