> But exercise is a habit. If you don't build it up when you're young, it can be hard to develop it later.

That's not my observation. People over 40 I see practising regularly a sport activity are mostly newcomers who found there something they could find in their usual work and family life. Whereas those who practised as teens and young adults have often given up, because it is not compatible with their 'new' life; or because it is a symbol of their young days and they are done with it, they moved on; or because they cannot keep the same level of performance they had and they rather stop than underperform; or just because their sport activity broke them so that they are unable to practise it or any other form of sport any more, or they don't want to hear about it any more.

> And then there's the physical challenges of returning to a physically active life after years or decades of inactivity. Certain injuries are more likely (like back, knee, tendon injuries) which can be debilitating, leading to months of recovery and more sedentary behavior.

I have never seen an activity generating as many injuries as sport does (and especially school sport in my personal limited observations: more injuries in school sport session than in club training, and more injuries in club training than in actual matches. I find the latter surprising, but not the former.)
Really my design sense isn't great, given time I can hack together something with bootstrap, but I do think I lack the designer training and probably instincts

Yeah, they have to because of how they work. As much as possible they do via SAML, and for that no plaintext is needed. But a lot of their customers want to log in to sites that don't support SAML (it's hard). For those they do form stuffing - naturally that requires plaintext.

Source: worked in the industry at a more security-focused company, had to explain to sales/support a few times why they can support a site but we can't.
The east side of Kansas surrounding Kansas City is hardly flat. It's no Utah, but flat? Kansas City most certainly is not that.

The drive down to Witchita from Topeka certainly has its own class of wonderful views akin to what you would experience between Heber and Orem in Utah. These are just different scales of horizon, and both are enjoyable.

What would be really nice though, in the Kansas City area, if there was more light-pollution discipline to maybe bring back the experience of seeing the Milky Way again, without a long-ish drive.
> sexually incompatible with the person you married

That's as much of a myth as monogamy. Incompatible just means they're not attracted to you, or you to them. Call it what it is.
Ask HN: What is the evolutionary explanation for having a song stuck in my head?
I fail to see where the analogy breaks, from your description.

It seems to fit like a glove, with ruthless disregard for any kind of sustainability, draining parasitic/symbiotic relationships and all.
> NO GIFTS.

Uh, every single time a "journalist" is easy on a subject so that they can get future access, that's a gift from the subject in exchange for them going easy.

Journalism as actually practiced is almost a definition of what a "gift" culture is, especially political journalism.
Ironically, before it lets me read this story the site pops up a "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK!" prompt. I'm pretty sure once I do that all you fellow article-readers will be my next friends.
If you had kids then you wouldn't need to live in your car because the government would volunteer to pay your rent.
I find the arguments from "it's wrong to recognize borders on the Internet" a bit naive, or impractical. The borders recognize us, and state-sponsored attacks will continue, and have very far-reaching implications. We need better tools to fight them, including this one.

I like the discussion in that thread about how to make the scheme reasonably flexible, though. Thanks for the link.
Very interesting. Do they really think that people use right click on the logo to get their logo?

Also, I use Cmd + Click more than right click -> open in new tab.

Was it not your choice to have the kids?

I'm tired of this cultural excuse of "what about the kids!"

If you chose to have kids, either explicitly, or through choice of recklessness, you deserve to own up to your decision. If you can't, or won't, that's what CPS is for.

Let's stop giving people excuses just because they brought another person into the world. In fact, lets hold them to an even higher standard for choosing to invoke a LIFE without themselves being able to support it.
From my experience there are a handful of publishers and when it comes time to pick a book we look at the relevant book from the publishers and pick whichever we want.

That being said, we don't have any control over them releasing a new version. I've had the book store tell me I had to order a new version because they couldn't get the previous one. (and of course the only difference was one or two paragraphs per chapter...)

As far as the scenario of "what happens if prof doesn't like chapter 10," more and more publishers are pushing "customized texts" which we can decide what chapters we want and they will publish it on demand. My last year at my phd program they switched to a book which was combined from readings and chapters from a variety of books.

The reason publishers love this is, of course, that students have to buy the book from them because the book we use at Any Town State is unique and can't be bought used from Amazon or something. So instead of being a benefit to the student it is just another scam to squeeze more money out of students.
Nobody relies on consent to perform animal experiments, because animals can't consent, so I'm not sure where you're trying to go with that.

Unlike the sandwich you're eating, animals are capable of suffering, which is why experimenting with them raises ethical issues to start with.

Some people are incapable of comprehending consent, and are incapable of comprehending scientific experiments. Those people can't be subjects of experiments, precisely for that reason. You seem to be arguing for the opposite.
This is also why Android still is winning over various better designed competitors. It's a clunky security nightmare with performance issues, but changing to another platform requires changing how you use your device, maybe finding different apps, etc.

Anarchy is at least morally defensible. "Minimal government" yokes people under government, while taking away their self-determination. It replaces democracy with rule by a self-selected intellectual elite that decides what is and is not a proper function of "minimal government."
It's not all the same probabilities, it's all different probabilities. It's just as important not to let lack of fear lead you into action that is counterproductive.
Indeed, Google+ is just about the last Google product I still use regularly. Because I have no better options. I'm too wordy for Twitter, and Facebook is too private, it's hard to find new people there.
Same here. I recommend making friends with some designers or looking around at pre-customized versions of Bootstrap. I also spent some time looking for this: http://jgthms.com/web-design-in-4-minutes/

Really, who is going to challenge the difference between Netflix and torrents.

Both video. Both serve the end user in the same way.

But nobody will challenge it because nobody is in charge of torrents.

This kills neutrality completely. There is no way those ruling over this know where to draw the category lines properly.
How's reading PDF textbooks on an e-reader for you? Personally, I've found them a nuisance because you are not able to skim through pages quickly as you can with a traditional textbook. Let's not forget the small screen size.

->If government loans were ineligible, most of these institutions would close over night instead of trying to continue with poor friendly community college rates.

Isn't that true of any education system based on tuition fees?

So I found
http://www.bankrate.com/finance/college-finance/myths-for-pr...

says:
Relatively few recent high school grads attending school full time flock to the halls of for-profit schools. These schools typically cater to nontraditional students, including older students with full-time jobs, parents, military veterans, at-risk students and those who need flexible class scheduling.

So is this really about "fixing" schooling, or just "fixing spending on people who don't deserve an education".

Feels much more like the later than the former.

It boggles me why California doesn't push for tech development in the cheaper parts of the state. Plenty of places in NorCal could siphon off the Amazon and Microsoft pool as well as attract other outside talent.
At least the books are free.
$135k for someone that really knows marketing is well worth it. The biggest red flag IMO is that the company didn't have product market fit, but hired a marketing professional anyway.

Really, really bad idea.
Head hunters are desperate to find anyone with experience. I literally fired the worst developer I've ever had work for me and he instantly found a job. I was amazed.
yes that's true. What I was pointing out was that the consumer base is being totally ripped off

Thanks for clarifying.

It remains the case that glyphosate is what kills things most effectively. Anything else is just flavor
I never purchased any textbooks in my 4 years of a Computer Science degree. I always found them online or the professor would be smart and have his/her own material online. The only books I had were for some of my humanities classes because they were actual books (novels, nonfiction) that were good.
Sam Altman: don't read the comments
Right, sorry. VXConnectBot hasn't been updated for quite some time.

Either way, the lack of response on this issue in particular is a bit of a worry.

I'm mistaken that it's being directly handed over to UN control, but the government advisory panel does have some power and there is no limits on what ICANN itself now decides to do. They are now free to reorganize themselves however they see fit. In order to get around antitrust law, they would have to put themselves under some kind of governmental control, such as by joining the UN.

I don't see any good reason to risk anything. US control was working perfectly fine.
More realistically is the OER model mentioned in the article. (I wish they would just call it open source or creative commons licensed but anyway...) People in our department took the time this summer to revise an existing OER text and add a couple original chapters to it. Now our students can have an electronic version of the book for free (or they can get a print copy for something like $17 from the campus copy shop).

Plus the people in our department were able to talk the university into paying them a small bit of money to write it too!
That's a fantasy which we are about to run headlong into, as a species, in part thanks to people who won't face the grim reality and be responsible. This, "Tech will save us!" attitude among the a vast number of people who remain utterly ignorant of the reality of how that might happen, is literally going to kill us all if we're not careful.
The "cultural difference" in Australia is that servers, etc. are actually paid the same (fairly high by U.S. standards) minimum wage or above for experience bartenders. So tipping just seems kind of dumb in most cases. The bill is the bill and you pay it and move on with your night.

I think there are many reasons why it persists in the U.S. On the server end, it makes it easier for a casual employee to make a reasonable amount for a couple of nights work and you would make much less if you were straight hourly. It also allows service industry employers to "staff up" on those busy nights and not have to worry about keeping too many on the rest of the week. While customers get to do some social signalling, I think that's mostly adjacent to the server and owner's pay scheme.

If the U.S. moved away from tipping, they would need to pay a higher minimum wage, keep fewer casual employees that only work 2-3 nights a week, and the regulars would be either full-time or half-time which means the busy nights would have fewer servers, though maybe more experienced so nearly as productive for the ones that work it as a full time job.
Something I've been very surprised about, at least in the CC systems in my area, is that most of the professors also teach at local 4-year universities, or are senior employees/contributors at major companies in the area. Very few of the professors I encountered were solely employed at the CC (mostly because the pay is terrible), but it meant that lots of outside talent came in to make the classes work.

I had far more terrible professors at the state school level than at CC. But I also had the best of the best there as well. So CC professors seem to come in somewhere in the middle in general -- very solid.
Being unaware of a risk, isn't bravery, but there's a word for it.
I can confirm. It has a bit to do with a little brain drain as developers leave for the coasts as well.
Because you asked for reasons:

The context of this conversation is how a product should have been done. The devs that make that product want people to use it.

You're suggesting that they ignore part of that user base, based on a claim that people shouldn't browse the internet however is most convenient for them. E.g. by using a computer they already have instead of a tablet they might not. All parts of that reasoning are ridiculous.
The publishers already solved that problem by constantly revising the books making the previous editions unusable.
Fundamentally though that's the problem with the modern web - the services that users get is not a transaction in the sense that the user knows what they're giving up for the service - it's all hidden under an innocent permissions check (if it's Facebook) or not said at all (if its LinkedIn). The user provides permission for a small pittance like their email address or phone number and it snowballs into having every want need and action tracked and catalogued to make the service owner money. A product not intent on tricking the user into giving up every bit of the data on their life would ask if it could use individual bits of information to serve them ads and sell their information.

It takes more than it asks, and the fine print is there to cover its ass, when in reality if users were asked about what information they were willing to share they would be much more uptight. The users's have no real idea what is happening with their data, what they've given up or how its used to make the company money. It may be true that most user's don't care, and some might even prefer the outcome to them in the form of "relevant" ads (if the choice is made over "irrelevant" ads or paying for the service). It certainly is transforming what is in the public sphere about people, and the lessening of privacy can certainly be used as a weapon (and it is, to the extent that it is a big powerful force arrayed against a person independently figuring out what they want to spend their resources on).
There are less painful and ridiculous ways to kill yourself.
Thanks for commenting. I have just come across Gartner Hype Cycle, and it's fascinating.

Do you have any "roundup ready" chemical study that can determine, for example, what concentration of glyphosate (over the lesser killers) is in the commercial "Monsanto glyphosate ready" products?

I smell a rat here - perhaps they are selling glyphosate as a name on the product, but in reality there is so little of it compared to 'filler' weedkillers that they can profit from that too.

the whole world knows that glyph kills it all, so "glyph-ready" seems like a contradiction to me

source info comes from my time dealing with sugar cane producers who use pure glyph to increase the sugar content in the useful end of the canes they harvest
Take any big market business started over 10 years ago, and look at the current major players. Then look at all the people that started before them. You will basically never find a company that started 1st, also be the market share leader 10 years out.

There are some exceptions, but once a 10 year period has passed, the biggest player is rarely the first player. Also, the markets don't usually become really profitable for a while.

Uber has not won yet, and I don't think they will be in 1st place in 5 years.

Google started at least a few years after many, many sites including yahoo.
Great idea. I assume that could be offered as an extension for the non-computerate, but I don't expect G+ has anything like Facebook's share of the non-computerate audience....
I switched from Fake S3 [1] to Minio for local development. Fast and lightweight, good experience so far :)

Easy to setup with Vagrant, and linking / sharing the Minio shared folder to the host makes it quite convenient to quickly check the files without going to the UI [2].

[1] - https://github.com/jubos/fake-s3

[2] - It stores the files as-is in the local filesystem (files in folders, unchanged), as opposed to having it 'wrapped' like Fake S3 does.

The ultimate bullshit textbook is the "Mercury Reader" and it's ilk. It's frequently assigned to English Comp 1 & 2 classes and is basically a collection of short stories or books, a mixture of licensed and public domain works.

When my dad taught it last year, it was $90, and all of the assigned reading could be obtained from project Gutenberg. He told the class to return the book and get the material online, and got a stern talk from the department chair (he's an adjunct)
I don't know if I'd be so charitable to call my counter-assertion to the assertion I replied to an argument, but the replies to your reply are indeed representatives of the argument chains that lead to the assertion, and I agree they are phrased well, probably better than I would have. More tangentially I'm now wondering how often leaving an assertion that's the obvious output (if you've seen it before anyway) of an idea framework ends up with other people doing the backward chaining algorithm to give an explanation for you...
Not only that. Number of jobs > number of open job postings > number of actual open jobs > number of job openings available to external applicants > number of job openings that are actually trying to get filled (as opposed to just fishing) > number of job openings actually likely to be filled.

But your right, number of companies is very relevant, since you interview for a company not a single job opening. 30,000 jobs at 20 companies represents 20 chances, not 30,000 chances.
Hi, I am the author. Yes, agree on the title. Thanks for keeping me honest. Changed it to "Investigating..."
That's a chicken-and-egg problem, but it would be solved when there's suddenly a lot of site operators with a vested interest in knowing which CAs are likely to fail and which aren't. Right now there's not a ton of interest. CAs are basically selling a fungible, commodity product, so you just buy from the cheapest ones. Searching for "best SSL certificates" thus gets you a lot of articles reviewing CAs, but largely on the basis of stuff like price and ease of issuance. Because that's what people care about.

There would be a slew of reviews of CAs, judging their perceived odds of vanishing in a puff of paperwork, if there was an interest in issuer stability. CAs themselves could probably offer value-added features like guarantees backed by outside parties (i.e. an insurance product) that would pay costs associated with certificate reissuance in the event of malfeasance or incompetence on the part of the CA.

The market would provide, but there has to be demand. Right now there's no demand, because the consequences of getting a cert from a crap issuer has, historically, been approximately zero.
There are many companies that change the world that you nor your friends would probably ever hear from.

my twitter news feed is hands down the most enriching feed i have. it beats hacker news, reddit, and instagram. it obviously beats facebook, which is normally trash, but that is deactivated at the moment.

twitter is indeed bad for conversations, but it is excellent to get a feed of what's what, as long as you are following the right people. i am pretty selective in who i follow and it leads to a pretty high quality feed, at least in my opinion.

I think you have a problem with the road argument. Transportation has always been subsidised by a state. You can look at the roads of Rome or the ships of the East Indian Trading Company. "The State," can get a big ambiguous in some of these contexts, I will admit.

Still, your bus/train fairs usually play for 20% ~ 30% of cost in most cities. Tolls for roads offset their cost, not pay for them.

Markets don't exists without States either. The book Debt: The First 5,000 Years talks extensively about this and the great myth of the free market.
