But GDP per capita is a pointless measure if you don't correct for the cost of living. The more interesting number is when you correct for how much you can actually do with the money earned. That's PPP (purchasing-power-parity), the measure in the article.

Note that that doesn't measure quality of life. Qatar may take the top spot in that ranking, but has large amounts of foreign workers employed under some not-so-nice conditions. Almost 90% of the population are foreign workers with temporary residence status: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Qatar

At a guess:

Populations get taller though improved nutrition and reduced disease risks. Those tend to be associated with a range of really good things. But, within a population nutrition and disease tend to rise and fall together so the negative impacts of height are more important.

Alternatively, height is only apparent in your teen years, more people getting that far has huge impacts on overall longevity.
It is said that pain is a fact, a by-product of life and the human condition. But suffering is a choice. Many simply choose not to suffer with their pain.

Anyway, I think the idea is to get some visual cue that you're about to tap the right icon. You know where you put your apps on your home screen, so the colors or wahtever lead you there faster. And the icon provides a large touch target.

Going back to the original article, it doesn't really matter what the icon looks like, as long as it's unique. You're not looking at each icon and asking yourself "is this a camera?" to get to the Photos app. You know it's a circular array of colors, and your finger goes there.
Similar things happened in China. I was the last generation that grew up in poor China, in the sense that we were malnourished without sufficient intake of animal proteins when growing up (to be accurate, it is before we were 13~14 years old. After that, the living standard got a big jump.) Among ~200 of high school classmates who talk regularly with each other in a WeChat group, some have children of 16 years old or older. They all said their children are already much taller and stronger than they are.

A lot of the tests of single-photon entanglement require coincidence measurements: being able to detect if two photons arrived at the same time. I'm not sure how fast the human brain would be for these kinds of measurements. People usually use FPGA-based amplifiers with fast photodiodes.
This may not apply to you, but I must mention it: Anyone suffering from suicidal ideation should seek professional help. These aren't the kinds of things you want to try to self-medicate away.

That said, there is a form of lithium that is available over the counter: Lithium Orotate. The amount of elemental lithium per dose is lower than you'll find in prescription lithium carbonate treatment, but you wouldn't want to attempt to self-medicate in to the prescription range anyway. Lithium has a notoriously narrow therapeutic window, and it would be too easy to dose yourself into the toxic range.

I've tried lithium orotoate myself out of curiosity for circadian rhythm modification. Although the dose is lower than that of prescription lithium, the effects and side effects were still palpable. Personally, I found no positive benefits but substantial cognitive slowing and general feelings of malaise. It's also worth noting that lithium is moderately toxic to the kidneys over time.

Having tried low-dose lithium orotate myself, I would never advocate for any amount of supplemental lithium in water supplies. Let's leave the medication to those who need it, rather than forcing it upon the entire population.

For me, the biggest issue with the past 2 or 3 OS X updates hasn't been the interface at all. I can get used to a new interface, that's not a problem.

The real problem (imo) is the lack of meaningful updates to the OS. EVERYTHING is an aesthetic change, or some new Siri or iPhone integration. Does anyone actually start an email on their phone and finish it on their desktop? Anyone?

Where's updates like better window management? How is it 2016 and I still don't have window tiling on a 4k (5k?) iMac? Apple is busy repainting their bedroom varying shades of grey while Windows puts out integrated linux and bash, improved window snapping, openssh integration, etc.

Lithium is an element, not just a medication. The element is used to medicate people with bipolar, in huge dosages. You and I both consume lithium every day. We may consume slightly more or less than others. The ones who consume slightly more kill themselves significantly less, with no side effects. Lithium the medication is in 100-1000x the dosages, hence the side effects. If it is bad in high (but naturally occurring, and much lower than the medication) doses, we should filter it out.
The ML community has techniques for building methods to address low signal to noise, class imbalance, noisy labels and smaller sample sizes. I definitely agree, all of these are issues in medical datasets. Part of the exciting challenge at the intersection of medicine and machine learning is around scaling data collection while respecting patient privacy.

>significant attention

I think people are aware of it but it's a bit depressing to talk about given that solutions aren't easy. I can see it getting more coverage as other causes become less common in young people. It's the #1 cause for ages 15-45 in Australia for example (that's just the country that came up on random googling) http://www.aihw.gov.au/deaths/leading-causes-of-death/

I think it's more cheerful to give attention to making society happier and healthier which should have a knock on effect on the suicide rate.
I do research working on new experiences, like live programming environments. Nothing is really known, there is no spec, everything is a design prototype, code is disposable in a fail-fast kind of way. So I'm pretty extreme, I can see where other domains are very different.
One advantage most other countries have, with the government being the plan manager, is that the pool of taxes they can utilize for funding is larger. Income taxes partially fund health care, yes, but so does VAT.

But at any rate, if you ignore the "free" point of the original poster, that post was quite correct. America leans heavily on corporations to perform the management of health care, and I don't see that as particularly "sane" to be honest. To me, such is an unnecessary competitive advantage to large corporations that can better manage the bureaucracy and expense. Small business owners often cannot afford the time and expense to offer this (understandably, to be honest). Consequently, employees that are self-employed or working for small companies may have to forgo health insurance.

It is very possible that this leads to some talented employees resisting leaving a corporation purely for health insurance reasons, a phenomenon called "job lock" (https://www.jstor.org/stable/2118427?seq=1#page_scan_tab_con...).

Sorry, but there are a lot of disagreement about your "coup d'etat". A portion of the population, me included, don't see it as a coup, as the deposition of the president followed, and is following, the law. I don't think here is the place to have this kind of discussion, but I just wanted to make it clear that that are opposing ideas on this...

Regardless, I think that social media in general was key to some very important social movements here, but you won't agree with my examples :). But I agree it wasn't clear what he was referring to in case of Brazil.
Is this a resurgence of the "company town" of yore? Facebook now has work space, restaurants (nee "free meals"), plenty of other amenities (things like laundry, childcare, haircuts, massages, etc). Add in housing and you've basically recreated a mill town centered on tech.
That's odd, in the latest iOS, all of the options I can see for deleting messages are accessed via the word "Delete"; one of which is on a red background (swipe conversation left). The other two require three steps with clear messaging/iconography: (Edit, select, Delete), or (long-tap message, more..., hit the Trashcan icon or hit "Delete All").

Perhaps it was an older version.
A depressed mind doesn't work like that.

For a depressed person, their brain is constantly torturing them, and the depressed point of view seems much more real. "You can choose to pretend you're happy like the rest, but you know how life really goes."

Good luck.
Not meaningfully. I think PragmaticPulp captured it well. You can increase the amount of lithium you consume, but mostly what lithium does is improve B12 metabolism. Regardless of suicidal ideation status, taking B12 and improving diet/sleep would be better than taking lithium. B12 is consistently and significantly lower in those with clinical bipolar than controls, so it is the real problem. Superdosing lithium ensures an ideal environment for B12 metabolism, hence the benefits.

I've often wondered at what point HN would cross the rubicon from "old people, so bad at tech!" to "young whippersnappers, so bad at tech!"

It seems that this happened somewhat recently.

You're assuming every developer is a "good" developer. The top 10% could probably find remote work, but the rest of us are stuck with what we can get. I've been trying to go that route for 3 years now and I'm at the point where I have to get a 'real job' to make ends meet.

However, your affirmation that Facebook, Google and Twitter sponsored this coup is quite bizarre. Care to give any source in this?

> It's illogical to design a system that can pop out one baby every nine months

To design? Are you a creationist?

Assuming you're just confused, evolution doesn't "design" life. It's just a "whatever works" process.

For example, angler fish have a lure that resembles prey for their prey. This has been selected by the eyes of their prey. It's not that the prey wanted their predator to fool them, it's just that angler fish with bad lures starved and died off.

In the case of humans, if what your parent comment suggests is true, then it would just be that some women had some sort of defect where they couldn't give birth after some point and that turned out to give their grandchildren an advantage over the grandchildren of women without the defect. Over a long period of time, more and more descendants with defective reproduction genetics would survive compared to those without and so it becomes prevalent.

That's how evolution works.

This kind of thing is stuck in a volume trap: you need to produce enough units to make it cheaper than a PC, but nobody will buy it until you do. In the meantime, people are buying ARM tablets and 'mini-PC's from various Chinese OEMs, but they're non-modular units.

The modularity of the PC is almost an accident of history.
You're asking why isn't it obvious to me that the two metrics can be meaningfully compared? If I could answer that, I would know whether or not they could be meaningfully compared.

Your post doesn't convince me. Whether that's because I don't know enough to follow the argument, or because the argument doesn't follow, I couldn't say.

I will say that, as I understand it, GDP depends a lot (mostly?) upon things being bought and sold within a country, while a firm's revenues mostly come from sources outside the firm.
> supply has tracked population growth, demand has outstripped population growth

That implies that demand is still outstripping supply, and thus "increasing supply doesn't work" isn't a good conclusion to draw from the data.
In addition to a desire to live, not everyone views suffering as the worst possible thing.

If I had to be in serious pain every day but could keep doing many things I would rather keep living with the pain. The loss in experience is worse than any level of pain.

For the obvious counterpoint: I say that from experience not naivete. I've had a nerve in my hand accidentally sliced lengthwise (for a significant length) by a surgeon. The pain was so excruciating they had to put me under before I had a heart attack (heart rate+blood pressure both went off the charts, 290bpm)

However, before that happened I was much more interested in what was going on and how unique this level of pain was. It was fascinating. Prior to that I didn't really know how much pain it was possible to feel.

Anyway the point is, not everyone is afraid of pain and suffering. Especially not to the point that suicide would even be considered.
What a terrifying sentiment. I'm astonished at how attracted people are to theories where problems are necessarily the fault of the person experiencing them. Hey, if you're suffering, there's an easy solution: just choose not to! Gee, why didn't I ever think of that.

Here's the intro to the paper, to give you the gist:

The Science of Language, published in the sixth decade of Noam Chomsky’s linguistic career, defends views that are visibly out of touch with recent research in formal linguistics,
developmental child psychology, computational modeling of language acquisition, and language evolution. I argue that the poor quality of this volume is representative of the
serious shortcomings of Chomsky’s recent scholarship, especially of his criticism of and contribution to debates about language evolution. Chomsky creates the impression that
he is quoting titbits of a massive body of scientific work he has conducted or is intimately familiar with. Yet his speculations reveal a lack of even basic understanding of biology,
and an unwillingness to engage seriously with the relevant literature. At the same time, he ridicules the work of virtually all other theorists, without spelling out the views he disagrees
with. A critical analysis of the ‘Galilean method’ demonstrates that Chomsky uses appeal to authority to insulate his own proposals against falsification by empirical counter-evidence.
This form of discourse bears no serious relation to the way science proceeds.
