> I feel sad for reading this, here in Argentina until December 2015 we had a similar state backed plan called Qunita. Now the new right-handed government cancelled the plan without delivering 60k boxes and a judge is trying to burn those arguing insecurity (but none of the 1000s of mothers who received them found any glitch in the boxes).

How do you know that none of the mothers had a problem with them? Are there any studies about this?

On the other hand there are three studies pointing that the box had problems and it was considered unsafe (sharp edges, structure fails with weights under 9kg). [0]

Not to mention that one of the companies tasked to build it was just a small real estate company that thanks to that government program increased their revenue by 15.000.000% (in your face SV unicorns!!).[1]

1) In higher inequality countries (which includes China) the median is usually lower than the average. So that only makes my point stronger.

2) The numbers provided are adjusted for PPP.

4) Whether urban or overall, it illustrates that far poorer people than Americans are able to save money. The savings rates across the country don't differ significantly. India also has a very high savings rate.

5) Yes, and it's still poor by US standards. So was 1950's USA. If 1950's Americans could save (did they), why can't vastly richer 2016 Americans?

6) As I noted, Chinese people save money by reducing consumption.
or that the discussions are over and it's not going to happen.
Right. And it's not like the bond market is in a massive bubble or anything is it? And house prices can go up forever too, right?
Nah I think the age aspect is correct.

Sometimes I keep forgetting that I'm well over my thirties.

But in any case, the show did make an awesome debut, but all the cliches and weird pacing(especially in 2nd season) ruined it for me.
I really can't tell if this was sarcasm. Same way they did all the years before the invention of Facebook.
Seamlessly using cloud storage for rarely-used files is pretty great.

For photos, it even recompresses the local files when space gets low and restores higher qualities from the cloud when you have more space.
I can't stand when someone does that so that's the one thing I NEVER do is reach for my phone when I'm in any way engaged with people IRL. It's just annoying as fuck to talk to someone who's a slave to communication coming in through their phone.
Much better PDF search.

Maybe, but even something you'd think is all instinct like breast feeding is a great deal of hit and miss. A lot of mothers find it hard to get the baby to feed, to the extent that most nativity units will have nurses helping mothers figure it out (whereas for some it just happens without the slightest problem), and it's not unusual for it to take days to learn to do it properly.

Very true. Great photography is key for a great looking site. We do have some good stock photography available, but it will never look as good as the real deal.

I love your suggestion for more typography focused themes!
Those brands aren't generic "ify" names that sound like they came from a domain name generator. Primitive sounds like a pretty good company name to me. There is already a skateboarding company of the same name that does well.
Can you explain what you mean by "loving big government?" I watched both season 1 and season 2 and never got anything like that impression. They spend quite a bit of time avoiding the government and using it as an unwitting tool against the corporation and later itself. I'm curious what you saw, because I honestly have no idea what you're referring to.
“We’re going to be transitioning away from using the Battle.net name”

Not just you asking, but Apple processing it while you wait to see whether it understood correctly.

The only time I use Siri is calling people when I'm wearing gloves. I don't see it changing on a computer.

My biggest problem with Siri is that half the time it feels like muttering magical incantations - get the words in the wrong order and the spell doesn't work.

The way they sought to prevent his protest was by breaking the law without punishment.
Most datancenters are lost once the internal network is hacked so I think that's a different issue. Encryption wouldn't help either because the attacker could get the keys too.
> we hadn't bombed the shit out of eastern Cambodia during the Vietnam war.

To put that in more concrete terms, the US dropped more 2.7 million tons of bombs on Cambodia. I spoke not too long ago with some Cambodian men in Kompong Thom, which is a central province, who related how as children they would disassemble unexploded ordnance and sell the scrap materials. This particular village didn't have much awareness of or contact with the KR regime as I understand it, but after the bombing they resorted to eating tree bark and leaves for a period of multiple years.

I didn't realize it until recently, but Laos was bombed even more heavily than Cambodia. Apparently, there are still 80 million unexploded US bombs littered across Laos. It's hard to even imagine that.

To clarify, I know people survived before Facebook but I've been on it since I think about 2008. I really like it to be honest. It makes me sad to think of giving it up. A lot of people here are talking about a program of achieving balance. A common list item is "delete your facebook account." I can do without Twitter but Facebook I'd mourn the loss. Maybe that's part of growth though. Damnit!
Do you think it is because you collectively have chosen lives that encourage higher spending than average (median annual spending of single people is about 32k/year) or because you have been unable to find consistent work that pays $15/hour?
I (hopefully) see what you did there :)

CF vacuum resin infusion layup (which I assume they're doing) is pretty fast, I can't see how making a complete bike from scratch would take more than two days if all the parts are in stock.

(That doesn't mean they don't have long wait times still.)

I've tried lots of different things and the most effective has been forcing myself to get up early (~6am for me). It was really difficult when I first started, but then I got into a routine. It's the only thing that consistently causes me to be feel tired earlier at night and be able to fall asleep more easily. I also combine that with reading in bed (with a orange filtered light bulb) until I nod off (~20 minutes).

Sometimes getting up so early makes me tired during the day (I'm not a natural morning person) so I'll take micro naps to mitigate.

And getting an early start to my day is fantastic. I can run, read, meditate, etc before I start my work day.
That's a strange design choice.
There are also online-only banks (Ally and CapitalOne360) that offer great rates and no fees but they can't handle cash deposits.
Nice try "sir-velo"
Fair point. My point wasn't "hur hur cigs are bad ergo caffeine is bad" - rather that there are costs and benefits to everything (adderall, cigs, coffee, probably this modafinil shit) and that I don't think the benefits to being able to work around the close really exceed the costs, especially on a personal level. Like I said, becoming a diarrhea-ridden coffee maniac isn't a great fate either, especially when a good night of sleep solves the same problem.

It sounds like we agree there.
Are normal people actually that mean and uncaring? It's not been my personal experience.
Ask HN: Anyone interested in connecting with a mentor?
Oh, I meant he (supposedly) pinned my grandfather, not Yeager. I'm more inclined to believe that the story is true, Armstrong was acting out of character, and that he simply disliked my granddad.

Personally, I've only met Collins, so I can only corroborate that he's a nice guy and collects tabloid articles about aliens.
I run Debian and XMonad on a Macbook Pro with 16GB of memory. Nice machine. I guess it would still dual boot to OSX, but I haven't tried for more than a year.
Yes,

Going from declining living standards to lack of identification as middle class seems like a logical, small step. Going from that to talking about small business seems a large and unjustified leap. As I'd understand it, most of the decline in American median income and living standards has come from the end of industrial union jobs and well paid corporate jobs.

While more Americans than ever survive on the "gig economy" and apparently don't make much doing that, true, successful small business people would be in the top 5% of income and just by statistic would seem to be doing well (but may be under attack in a fashion not visible by statistics for all I know).

Edit: You could say the article uses a "the cause of this problem is the lack of applying my solution to it" sort of rhetoric, which feels a bit dodgy regardless of what one might think of the solution.
Exactly how does almost singlehandedly transitioning the global Internet to forward-secure curve-based TLS help their security and not yours? All I can see in that work is cost for them.
Mentors has had a significant impact on my life. To continue the cycle, I’d like to make myself available to all of you.

A little about me: I have experience working on startups and in innovation centers with a background in computer science. I’m currently based in NYC, but I also spend a lot of time in SF. I’ve travelled most of the Europe, Asia, and the U.S. After college, I actually took 6 months off to couch surf through Europe, which partially inspired me to do this. Learn more about me at panw.weebly.com

Given my background, I believe I could be helpful to anyone who is involved with a startup, still in college, or involved with tech (getting involved or already involved). However, I am open to speaking to anyone.

Good tips! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear y'all are keeping up with the industry. I will have to give this another look.
That's something I do consistently but I've not really consciously thought it through. I just delete any apps or "unfriend" people that I determine to be a negative force in my life even in a small way. This one everyone should do even if they don't want to get into the digital 12 step program. I'm waiting to hit digital rock bottom before I quit.
To retain a language it requires active usage. Swedish has zero utility outside school environment unless someones life is such it includes interaction in swedish. Most people I know are more fluent in english than in swedish. While I personally retain some rudimentary basics, when I need to talk to my swedish colleague, I use english.

To get MSc one must theoretically prove to be able to communicate in swedish but the minimum acceptable level - how to put it - is not very high.

Why would they even have email?

They have a country of 50 million or so functional slaves. They could use couriers for every and dodge the entire USA Signals Intelligence Effort. The nominal cost of life over there is only slightly higher than email is over here.

Inflation in the US is 0.1% or less? Uh huh.
That's simply not true. They collect a ton of data which they wouldn't have to collect, if they wouldn't run advertisements or could even just delete this data much earlier.

There's even crap like Android not allowing you to selectively turn off the Internet Permission for apps, for which there is no good reason other than Google needing an internet connection to display their ads.
Good, but I live in Germany and I don't speak German, so how do I read the content?
It's a convenient app but I'm very conscious of menu bar real estate, and mostly don't use it for the reason of adding an icon where the only interaction is launching / quitting it.

Nordic countries are the size of American cities, or at least metropolitan areas. I can tell you I have a lot more trust in the mayor and city council than I do in the president and my senators (even though I voted for all of them). If most government functions occurred at a more regional level I'm pretty sure Americans would have more trust too. I think SF (for all its problems) is doing a good job showing what can be done at a local level. It's telling that at least in SF politicians are talking about fixing poverty, while this discussion never really even comes up at the federal level, especially this election season.
BMW, McLaren and friends probably simply buy all the carbon fiber they use from Toray. Just like Boeing do.

If McLaren has some production, it's probably not more than a pilot plant.
Possibly, but it seems that the reverse engineering + the hassle of needing an Apple key has prevented any real compatible clones from being made.

The world can demand your time, but that doesn't mean you have to give it your time.

Your careers are social obligations are all things you do by choice. I'm not saying you can drop all your careers and live without money, but you have the power to make career related decisions that will give you more time for yourself. Can you temporarily pause one of your careers to give you more time with yourself? Are your social obligations all meaningful to you? If not, it's okay to say no when invited to events that aren't meaningful to you in some way. You end up with obligations because you choose to take them on. You have the power to choose yourself instead, at least some of the time.

At you end of the day, if you don't make time for introspection and relaxation, you might find yourself burned out and failing to meet your obligations no matter how hard you try to work.
> To start off, I used Vanguard and did it all myself, which is a great option (many would say the best). I've since switched to Wealthfront, which is also pretty cool, although some people believe their slightly-higher fees don't buy you anything[1]. I personally disagree!

Interesting! I switched from Betterment TO Vanguard once I didn't need the guidance they provide (and corresponding higher asset management charges) anymore (target date funds in retirement accounts, life strategy funds in taxable accounts for extreme early retirement Mr Money Mustache style).
Does modifying the state of one entangled particle then destroy the link between them? If it does, then how can you continually communicate without distance being a factor as you'll have to resupply? I hope it doesn't or there is some work around or I simply am completely asking the wrong question.

1. Wordpress is probably better if you really want a platform to build something very custom off of, so in that sense it would be an alternative to a Django/Rails/Node solution. The downside is that it's a lot of work to both build and maintain, worrying about scaling, ongoing security patches and maintenance, etc.

2. One, Weebly is a much more intuitive, easy to use platform, two, we have a powerful ecommerce platform built-in (Wix doesn't have this), three, we have iOS and Android apps to create or manage everything from (no one else has that), four, we have a deep developer ecosystem (over 200 third party apps and integrations, the most of any platform), and five, the website, ecommerce, and email marketing is deeply integrated, others are more a collection of pieces.

3. Yes! There are a ton of APIs to build into Weebly, check it out here: http://dev.weebly.com/. You can also just copy and paste any code you want into your site with the embed code element. And if you're just looking to showcase code on your site, check this out: https://www.weebly.com/app-center/code-block?ref=ac-collecti...
I'd never upgrade Mac OS versions if not for the fact Apple's developer tools require it.

As for Safari 10.0 not working on all but the last version OS versions, thankfully there's a choice - Chrome and Firefox.
honestly it would be refreshing is stories about Western leaders were about their visiting average citizens in non premier jobs instead of running about constantly on the road to election even if they aren't running for an office themselves.
Homebrew used to be my go-to tool for installing packages...

But now, with the new Docker for macOS, I never need home-brew anymore. It is especially helpful when you need to run 2 different versions of an app (like elastic search) for different projects.

I can't see myself returning to Homebrew now. That is just not the way to do things anymore.

Imagine how horrible it would be to spend an hour commuting in the dollar vans with all those Chinese immigrants! See also Scott Sumner's article on this: http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=31723

I binge watched the entire series, because so many people liked it. Though I wouldn't recommend it.

The transition into sci-fi was very subtle, and where they took the show was interesting for it's time. But the technical aspects are like almost other TV show. NCIS levels of inaccuracies.

Mr. Robot should not be utter in the same context as POI, because unlike POI, they did their research. They made a show that has both a good story, but also mostly technically accurate and plausible.

Nothing you do to one of the particles is going to noticeably affect anything about the other particle's measurement by itself. Any link between the particles is only apparent by comparing both the measurements together.

Imagine you had a machine print out two envelopes with the same random number inside. You and a friend take these envelopes and each go 1 lightyear in separate directions. When you open your envelope, you will instantly know what number was in your friend's envelope. There's no usable FTL communication here. Burning your envelope won't communicate anything FTL to your friend. This just means that when you meet up again, he'll say he believes that you got a 7, and you'll say that he's wrong because you threw away the entanglement first by burning your envelope without looking at it.

There are plenty of interesting quirks about about quantum entanglement that this model doesn't contain, but it should cover the lack of FTL communication potential correctly.
