With 54% [1] of the world's population in urban areas already (rising to over 70% in the developed world) [1] that "role of hunting and animal husbandry in ... regions of the planet" is becoming an ever increasing rarity. By 2050 the 54% is expected to rise to 66% [2] so I doubt there will be many hunter gatherers left anywhere.

Here in 'the North' at longitude ‎10.757933 people only hunt for sport. Although they make the claim of culling for environmental reasons I have yet to see any elk or red deer without venturing deep into the forest on foot (so I'm calling BS).

>the causes of malnutrition in poor communities.

Obvious response would be to eradicate yet more rain-forest and open a McDonalds in all those poor countries. /s Malnutrition in poor communities (and I'm not sure to where you refer with that vague choice of phrase) is likely caused by factors that control diet, and not by diet in and of itself. In other words, it's the poverty itself causing malnutrition, not a lack of meat or forced vegetarianism.

>"Oh, is he on <some blood pressure medication I forget the name of>?"

I'll bet the farm it was lisinopril, or another ACE inhibitor. The ACEI cough is notorious enough that any 1st year medical student probably should have been able to piece this together.

The problem is not that those doctors were ignorant. It's more likely that they did not ask the right questions to get a proper history. You should ask every patient to list their medical problems and medications unless it is a routine follow-up when nothing has changed.

Something else that can happen is patient ignorance (and I am not insinuating your dad was guilty of this, or making a value judgment on people who are).

Often times you can't get a proper past medical history or medication list unless the patient brings all of their prescription bottles to the office. E.g.:

>"What medications are you on?"

>"Well, I'm on a sugar pill, a water pill, a cholesterol pill, a stomach pill, and some allergy medicines."

>"Ok, do you know the name of that sugar pill?"

>"It's a little white pill. I think it starts with an 'F'. No wait, I'm thinking of my water pill."

or

>"Do you have any medical problems?"

>"No."

I follow the arithmetic behind the birthday paradox, but that doesn't help my intuition about similar problems: can someone point me to heuristics for dealing with very large numbers of events in a very, very large universe of possibilities? E.g., sha1 collisions[0] on blobs in Github?

Suppose I had N initially non-communicating instances of github. Would a merge of all those repositories be more likely to have a sha1 collision if each used the full 160 bits for their blobs, or if each repository assigned a random log(N)+e bit prefix to itself, using only 160-(log(N)+e) bits for its own blobs, but incurring a possibility of collision within the log(N)+e bit prefixes? And, of course, one wants to know the increased likelihood of internal collisions now that we're only using 160-(log(N)+e) bits for the local identifiers (which of course depends on the number of internal distinct blobs).

[0] A collision is two distinct blobs with the same identifier; two blobs containing the same bits having the same identifier is a feature, not a collision.

The article isn't pay walled for once, I encourage you to read it, I consider it a ray of sunshine in the current darkness of nutritional science.

They use the post-prandial glucose response (PPGR) as a surrogate marker for how the body absorbs and metabolises food. Spikes in glucose levels after a meal are considered 'bad' as they cause large excursions in insulin secretion, and are associated with diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

They found a wide range of inter-personal variability in how particular foods affect blood glucose levels after a meal. Some people could eat a pizza for example, and the PPGR would hardly budge, whereas for others it would surge. The gut microbiome seemed to be important to this response. I believe the scientists have formed a company which plans to make personalised nutrition suggestions based on microbiome analysis, among other things.

Beginners, here's what I learned from 2 years of blogging
Starting a blog is simple but moving forward and growing it along the way is not the same…
I’ve been blogging for almost 2 years ( my new blog is almost 6 months ), but that doesn’t mean that I know a lot about this field, But For beginners I would like to point out some important points that are damn true.

Most people get excited before starting a blog: It’s true that starting a blog is a child play, but growing it along the way reflects your passion. If you’re approaching it as a business i.e to make money, You need to look at tons of things like tracking, goal setting, creating content etc… stressful Right? “Start Small”, don’t load up too many things in the start itself, you’ll progress slowly.

Only few of them make money and a few in a few are actually making a living: Another truth to be said, most blogs don’t make money, reason — approaching just for money will ultimately hurt your brand, So respect your blog, teach people help people, but you need to stay optimum so that you can make money without hurting your brand. People like Ramsay Taplin, Harsh aggarwal, Pat Flynn are actually making a Living out of blogging and it took them multiple years to get there.

You Don’t need to be a good writer to create content for your blog. Most Beginner bloggers end up asking this question, Truth to be said, yes! most bloggers actually write shit, blogging is not about showing your writing skills, it’s how you can easily teach your readers, so don’t worry start writing you’ll improve along the way.

Here is some other advice you should know that is actually true not only for blogging but also for the rest of the things in life.

It has a bright future? you’re ready to give your best shot? then do it today!!*
Risky? Lot of learning opportunity? Give it a try!!
Ignore those stares,jealous!! Worried that you’ll succeed!!

Admissions try to get a well-rounded student body rather than many well-rounded students but the Asian-American "tiger-mom" phenomena is not a joke for elite college admissions officers. They really do see large numbers of what are known (in derogatory terms) as Asian-clones: 4.0 GPA, violin or piano skills, and no authentic detectable motivation other than getting high grades for the purpose of becoming a doctor or lawyer.
But if that (educating their own country's people) were their goal (leaving aside, for the moment, whether we agree on the validity of that goal), it would be much better if they just said so, rather than relying on a stereotype-driven narrative instead.

Tell HN: We write the algorithms. We need to understand propaganda
Yesterday I learned that George Orwell is again a best selling book. That's good, but probably already read by people around here. What I've been reading are two books to understand the rise of demagoguery and propaganda around the world:

1. https://www.amazon.ca/Propaganda-Formation-Attitudes-Jacques-Ellul/dp/0394718747

2. https://www.amazon.ca/World-Will-Representation-Vol/dp/0486217612

I'm only just starting these two[1] but they've already caused a fundamental change in how I perceive propaganda and how I think about what leads a person to have distorted, clearly false views.

The first thing I've learned is that propaganda is measured. That it operates like a business where outcomes are measured and tests run on smaller populations. That most countries do it, but that the most effective propaganda is selectively highlighting the truth so that the source develops trustworthiness.

The other thing I learned is that propaganda isn't about shifting someones opinion, though that is often a useful middle step, it's about driving specific actions, like getting someone to stay home on voting day or getting someone to join the military.

I'm not advocating that all of us here go and buy the same book. What I'm trying to highlight is that propaganda is now in full force online and we're the ones (web developers, designers, data analysts, machine learning developers, sys admins) that have the most amount of power to augment our technical knowledge to push the world towards a peaceful, more prosperous future by fighting falsehood-riddled propaganda.

Lastly, if you're a reputable angel investor interested in fighting back, I'm working on a stealth[2] startup that I think will make a lot of money and really help the world. My email is in my profile.

[1] Really, Schopenhauer is probably too cerebral for most and more focused on philosophy and will not on propaganda itself, so I only really recommend the first.

>> How would you feel if a fellow developer left in the circumstances described?

I don't really think that their conclusions are very honest. They provide only extraordinary situations, which are not usual by any measure. Masses during (and some time after, for like ~1 generation) such events are much less demanding, and they unite to survive (I can think that a lot of damaged countries after WWII built very successful industries, sometimes from scratch).

What I think can really affect violence, is a level of income for lower-class people. For example, in a lot of ex-USSR countries it is quite a problem – people are pretty violent just in everyday life, and we don't see positive trend in Russia, for instance. So, while super big difference between income of top and low classes contributes to the violence, the ability to have decent life, I think, will decrease violence drastically. Of course, it is oversimplification, there are tons of other factors, but I feel it this way, because violence is mostly done by people with the lowest income (and I don't think it is mandatory to be low relative to the highest, it is relative to the good level of life).

There is a reason we are Eurocentric. That is precisely because Europeans discovered America. It changed their mindset. They started looking outwards while the Chinese kept looking inwards. It launched an era of exploration.

Fire, writing and textiles are prehistoric discoveries/inventions.
that's exactly what the article is talking about. there's nobody rich who'll willingly do it so there usually is violence involved and given the rich have resources to defend themselves, there's a lot of it. it's why the bolshevik revolutions of 1917 resulted in their outcomes.

the argument is that increased taxation to fund a war effort plus increased industrial output to produce weapons of war leads to redistribution of wealth from the wealthy (who are disproportionately taxed) to the working class (who work in the factories and related industries to produce the armaments).

Top Trends to Watch Out for in Mobile Application Development in 2017
macOS 12.1, NVIDIA GTX960, i7-6700K, 32GB RAM: Chrome 42fps, Safari 38fps.

That's somewhat disappointing, both in absolute terms as well as compared to your values. Although maybe it's being throttled at around 40fps which is probably beyond the point of diminishing returns?

Edit: Getting 35fps in Firefox, which seems to support the idea that it's being throttled somewhere around that value.

Sure. They basically created and funded al Qaida in the 1980s to counter the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Then bin Laden came back to Saudi Arabia and offered to help against Saddam when he invaded Kuwait, and the Saudis told him to go away. After that they became more enemies than friends, but with the weird twist that the Saudi government wants to appear ideologically relatively aligned with al Qaida, such that al Qaida has little support for overthrowing the house of Saud.

SQL Server does some great things for the data that's in it but if you ever want to get the data out (Elastic Search / Hadoop / Kafka / etc) you are in for a world of pain (and bills). The lock in alone is reason enough to steer clear of it for virtually all use cases.

As you start running into scaling issues and need to search for solutions that are faster to implement you'll reach for Enterprise and then for more cores and before you know it you're stuck with a $16,000 / core scaling cost that you can't avoid because you can't get your data out to offload things easily.

Dealing with SQL Server on a customer facing system is the stuff of nightmares.

"As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium. Very harsh. On the other hand, when it comes to actual messaging, women shift their expectations only just slightly ahead of the curve, which is a healthier pattern than guys’ pursuing the all-but-unattainable."
That's how communism was supposed to work, and the guys in charge of redistribution took the lion's share for themselves.
I've been on HN for about 5 and half years. I rarely pay attention to my "karma" except for on a per-comment basis and only if it's negative as it normally means I was misunderstood or I misunderstand the downvotes and I edit or reply to a child to try and resolve the misunderstanding. Aside from that it doesn't really matter, most of my comments are completely ignored (no comments, no votes) and that's normally due to commenting on low-traffic posts, "late to the party", or just not something anyone found useful. Most of my "karma" comes from a handful of posts I've made on topic I am highly informed/involved with, when being very open/genuine, or useful tips/info.

Not sure if you are old enough to remember that far leftist ideological organizations were often violent up until the last quarter of the 20th century.

This period of peacefulness is a recent phenomenon. One of the big pacifiers of democracy is that people accept the result because the majority voted for it. When you have a situation when 46% of the population is pushing an agenda that at least 48% of the population is strongly against. That group often starts to look for alternative ways to flex its majority power.

Especially when you realize that in large urban areas we are looking at 25% to 70% type splits in some cases.
