I honestly don't understand how anyone that actually reads the economist can agree with the satire "according to the economist there is no problem that couldn't be solved without lower taxation, more deregulation, and more free trade". Lowering taxation in particular doesn't seem to be on the agenda much at all; in fact they've run several pieces arguing for more taxation (the argument being that tax is relatively efficient) instead of alternatives. Similarly, they regularly advocate for (some) regulation too - but that doesn't mean they don't also make the argument that many regulations are ineffective or costly. Even on the topic of free trade, they occasionally point out the risks of uncontrolled trade; although they clearly favor free trade.

Sure; their viewpoint has a focus; you'll get a different story elsewhere. But I don't see this as a kind of adversarial "us" vs. "them" issue: it's not that they're misleading you or even avoiding confronting other sides of the story; it's just that the world is a large place: not all topics can be in scope, even if several viewpoints are valid and partially in conflict with one another.

You present the unified world view a little as if the focus on (e.g.) free trade is a bias that can be misleading; I suggest the alternative metaphor: it's more like the dentist reminding you to brush your teeth. You may not want to hear it, and he's a like a broken record, and it's not going to tell you much about how to cook, but that doesn't mean the dentist is wrong or trying to hide the importance of cooking from you.

If there's a preconceived notion underlying the economist, it seems to be that its worthwhile to think of benefits and costs to society overall, and not just to individuals. Whether that's right or wrong is largely a matter of ethics; I doubt we'll ever know what's "best".

Obviously, no newspaper is perfect; they will misjudge some things, some time. But so will you and I. Do you know of an outfit that appears to be less biased?

That happens. I had a colleague (here in Finland) who in the 1990's happily and regularly e-mailed English colleagues with a greeting "Hello gays" instead of "guys". The English, not surprisingly, never corrected him.
Samsung had always been scared of google. They developed and are still developing androids replacement OS called TIZEN. It's a total crap OS and never able to catch up with android. Most tizen phones are unsold and are given to its employees as annual gift.Samsung RnD in India is the worst place to work for.My friend worked here It has worst culture in SW industry. They think spending 12-15 hrs bring good software. It's Highly unethical company. They want to transform to a SW company by conducting SW exams to engineers. But they miss the point that it has to change its DNA first from its Factory and copycat mindset to innovation/skill based mindset that lot of western companies like google/Facebook/apple exhibit.
We challenge teams of 16 to 18 year-olds to design, build and develop autonomous robots to compete in our annual competition. After announcing the year's game, we give teams six months to engineer their creations. We mentor teams throughout this time, as well as supply them with a kit which provides a framework they can build their robot around. Thanks to our sponsors, we provide this all for free to our teams.
To be fair, it's probably true that the admit rate for MIT legacy applicants is also higher than the overall admit rate. It's just that the MIT admissions committee doesn't consider legacy status in admissions. It's hard to separate correlation from causation in the admit rates.
The problem with military white elephants like battleships or F-35's is not that they aren't effective in their dream engagement it's that they eat so much of the budget that the forces wielding them loose the ability to engage in more dispersed real world engagement against an enemy willing to adopt their strategies.

20% better at 3x the cost is usually a bad bargain in a battlefield increasingly dominated by dispersion strategies and that was what eventually killed the Battleships, they were to expensive for convoy duty and too slow and vulnerable to torpedo and air attacks for the line of battle fighting that actually happened doing WWII.

Certainly — if it had been actively liked then the vote might have gone the other way.

As for polling, it looks like my memory doesn't quite match reality: http://theconversation.com/polling-history-40-years-of-briti...

This polling history shows wild oscillation over time, and the EU was formed from its predecessor just as things were close. I had been under the impression it was a gradual shift from the high of 1979 to the low of 2016.

Regardless, "stoked" sounds like a good description of UKIP's behaviour to me, so I think we may be agreeing with each other.

Does the consumption of fish matter? It seems like the linked article encourages consumption of more Omega-3.

Also, I'm generally confused by Omega-3 studies anyway (I'm not a scientist). In the early 2000's lots of research came out linking Omega-3 to health. But, then more recently, I thought that Meta analysis studies showed no relationship.

(Could someone explain like I'm five?)

Ask HN: I built a news aggregator, how to monetize it?
I have built a news aggregator (memetracker) which is almost similar to Google News and Techmeme. I am looking for ideas on how can I generate money from this aggregator. I am only doing this to get the money for a social project (a community service learning center in Mauritius). I am not a full time developer or star entrepreneur - but I like dabbling into codes and helping people. I was intially thinking of selling the script - but I am not sure I would be able to raise the amount I need for the social project which is $50,000. The news aggregator is not online yet - I am wondering whether I should pursue this idea or not. Any ideas how I can monetize this project ?

I was randomly checking out MIT's admission page a few days ago and drooling about what it means to go to a school like that. I saw the no legacy preference and merit based admissions and was pretty impressed. What I didn't know was this was a non-common thing. Now I am curious about what all colleges does it legacy based.

Edit: No luck finding just a list of colleges that does legacy admissions but found a list for scholarships.[0]

All farmed fish have a higher ratio of fin and skeletal deformities than wild fish. Sometimes you can blame endogamy or genetic lottery, but it happens also with extra healthy parents caught in the wild. The main cause has puzzled the farmers for many decades; but is currently known and is terrifying: Bubbles in the water hitting the delicate microscopic larvae in its first days of life.

You hire the incorrect guy, and it takes only a bubble stone incorrectly placed creating a too strong current. Having plenty of food and almost no natural predators, a bigger percentage of this fishes will survive unless you cull it. Is as simple as that.

I can understand that some journalists would kill for a good history with elements of survival horror and the big bad army/pharma/nuclear companies creating monsters in secret laboratories; but the real life of a sea farmer is normally much more boring than a videogame.
It is the amount of the saturated fat, hormones and cholesterol (and antibiotics and so on) in three glasses that is the important thing. Many people drink at least one glass of milk and put at least one glass on their cereal too. And then they eat cheese on a lot of their food, which is concentrated and contains a lot more of everything than milk does, so many people consumes a lot more than what is in three glasses of milk every single day.
The Economist has so good quality that I don't think they consider their writers fungible.

The Economist has so good reputation that just being one of the 75 staff journalists creates lasting value for the journalist. Other journals find it important to mention that X.X was previously writing for The Economist.

The Economist is just one of the handful magazines worth of subscribing.

This is a good point, and I make a habit of using a VPN with robust DNS leak protection (there are only a few I know of). My concern long-term is a kind of soft pressure to abandon it by upping CAPTCHA challenges, and that kind of thing. I realize that abuse from these networks is a real problem, but it would be a very easy way to "discourage" VPN use by a large company like Google too.

It's a top-tier language due to the amazing support it receives from companies and the community. The PSF is well organized and the language releases are stable. There aren't a massive number of releases (or security issues) to try and keep up with but enough where new features are being added. It's usually one of the first languages to receive love when a new service is rolled out in terms of a library or offering. Tooling is good, using Visual Studio Code.

It's on an uptrend on usage which is always good for your career. I use it for web apps and API's and many larger companies also use it like Uber, Rackspace, Twillio, etc. The scientific field is becomming larger and it seems to be growing extremely quick with a new momentum in AI. Great option for building a CLI tool out. Overall it can handle a lot.

It's a language I really enjoy using on a daily basis at work. It feels like it has been the result of lots of hard work from some really smart people. Our team was at a crossroads and tried a variety of languages, we all agreed on Python. Clarity of what's happening with code is important to us and Python excels in this area.
Sometimes I will talk to myself as I write code allowed, but more often, I listen to music and I rock back and forth. It calms me and keeps me focused. Probably weird to everyone around me and may be a form of autism, but I was never diagnosed, and function even better when I'm rocking in my chair to the music.
These services are cloud services. They have another wall. Spiked, dark, cruel and ready to collapse on us at a second's notice. A new person getting hired at some critical services cloud company. Excellent suit. New CFO, or COO, or whatever. Nice MBA, economics degree, daddy's really important, he has been executive at some bank for decades, comes in. And something happens.

Maybe he sees pedestrian get shot on the street while he walks to his desk and smiles. Maybe a chair screeches on the floor, reminding him of the screams of some kid five years his junior he was beating up in high school. Maybe he cuts his hand on the edge of his giant mahogany desk and the drop of blood fondly makes him remember the thousands of children whose families he sucked dry, and condemned to abject poverty at his previous bank job, reveling in their inescapable fate. We will never know. An epiphany happens.

Then he proceeds to phone up some lead architect and asks the question "don't we fully control the data that these cloud 'customers' think is theirs" ? He likes the answer so much he fires the lead architect on the spot.

And his eyes twinkle.
There is really not conflicting data out there if you go directly to the research instead of people who cites them, and when you check the research out, be wary of the research funded by the dairy (and meat and egg and sugar and so on) industry, and be wary of people funded by the industry too. You don't want to get advice on how healthy milk is from someone who's salary is paid by selling you milk.

All the claims that dairy (milk) is healthy that I'm aware of and that is still well regarded (peer reviewed and hasn't later been debunked), is research that says stuff like "you need this much protein, you need this much calcium, you need this much that and that", and then they conclude with stuff like "and if consume this much dairy, you get all those things", but that is focusing on the good stuff in a vacuum and completely neglecting all the bad stuff that is in dairy, and that you already get all the good stuff if you simply eat any proper diet, but some diets, like a plant-based one, avoids the bad stuff.
I don't believe so. The problem isn't dairy per se, it's what's in dairy. If you just replace the saturated fat you get from dairy with saturated sat from meat or coconut milk or whatever, the result is the same.

I am exactly the same. Even now at 33 (birthday today in fact!) my most productive and creative hours are from 9pm until 3am. My mind is sharper at that time and I have no idea why. I have tried every thing I have heard of to make myself a morning person but nothing works. Measuring my sleep cycles, getting 8, 9 or even 10 hours sleep a night, diet changes, etc, etc. Nothing gets my brain to that natural super sharp level. Very strange but I just work with it as best I can. That is hard with a 4 year old though.
Indeed, unprocessed meat is better than processed meat. That the story with just about anything, also plants.

The unhealthy aspect of red meat is 1) it contains a lot of stuff you don't want to consume, like cholesterol, hormones, too much saturated fat, recycled drugs and shit and 2) you can get all these good and important nutrients from other food sources that does not contain the bad stuff, and since there is no benefit to consuming these things via red meat compared to say plants, red meat turns out to be a negative to your health instead of a positive.
This isn't uncommon. In law, clerks often write the opinions for judges. In the best case, it's like a mentorship. If you think your favorite opinion or turn of phrase by a Supreme Court Justice came from them, you'd be surprised. Speechwriting for politicians is similar.
A lot of people use some kind of drugs to get creative, but as the article points out: you can train this by learning to set aside thoughts that block the creative process (simple thoughts like: "this is probably not possible").

Alcohol might help some times but as with every drugs: it's a loan. You have to repay it some time. Most of the time in the form of exhaustion.

Also: sometimes creativity without boundries is't interesting anymore because it has become too chaotic. So maybe some boundries are always needed.

In my experience smoking it longer dries out almost every meat. I notice smoked fish is not like steaks where "well done" "rare" etc are sort of standard. It took me a fair amount of years before I found my fave smoked fish place because of those difference.

Why is it rubbish? Would you please elaborate?
Really? Seems pretty easy to analyze. Just take legacy applicants and their non-legacy equivalents and see the admittance rates.
But these instututions explicitly have a preference for legacy applications, so we don't really need to work backwards from the correlation to the cause. They're telling us that they give preferential treatment to legacy applicants.

From the perspective of a user, you make some sense. From the perspective of a language designer however, great ecosystems are no excuse for crappy languages.

The Go language doesn't have to be crappy to provide batteries included API, version stability, and great tooling. No generics and no sum types? Those are no longer groundbreaking, they're the bare minimum.

Old languages like C at least had the excuse of being created a long time ago, when we possibly didn't know better (and computers were much slower). Go's creators however don't have that excuse. They screwed up, plain and simple.

Windows 10 thanks to UWP, Pico procresses taken from the Drawbrigde project and the MinWin rearchitecture is probably more closer to that model than the NT 4.0 descendants were.

Regarding hyperviors, actually I think only type 1 hypervisors make sense.

The type 2 were just a workound due to lack of hardware support.

The article you linked is about supplementing Omega 3. Many times in science we isolate out the one thing we think that is causing the health benefit and supplement more of it. Usually we don't find the result we are looking for. Food is a very complex item and it could be many factors and they all need to be present together to get the effect. Lycopene supplementation doesn't seem to have the health benefits seen with eating tomatoes, etc., etc.

> You're going to have to argue with the multitude of people who have had success beyond "losing weight" on low carb diets.

Their success is feeling great, not preventing sickness. They are gonna get them too, at some point, probably, but they might feel great until then. You can feel great on almost any diet, but only few helps preventing these diet-related sicknesses.

> The days of calling low carb a "fad" are waning.

Low carb is gonna come around and bite people in the ass. High carb is so important for a good balanced health (science agrees about that), and has no negatives except if you also want to eat 2000cals of eggs, meat and cheese a day, in which case you are gonna get fat, and then cutting out the boring carbs is the choice people are choosing, instead of cutting out the eggs, meat and cheese, a choice which is gonna give them diabetes type 2, cardiovascular disease, heart disease and cancer in the long while.

It seems more like a rationalisation. In the brief moment between seeing the boy and swerving it is unlikely that he had the time or situational awareness to consider his options. By believing that he would have killed a boy anyway, regardless of his choice, he avoids judging that he could have made the wrong choice, and so he avoids crushing doubt and regret.
