That may be true, but even Walmart encourages associates to invest part of their paychecks in its matched stock programs, which many will pay $25 to sell off for "extra spending money" during the holidays.

That's obviously not producing dividends enough to live off of or to reinvest, which is the test here. How many people in the middle class own stock at that level?

It's explained on his website, though perhaps not super clearly. The composition is a fugue, so it has a subject (main recurring melody). Each occurrence of the subject is represented by a large box on the timeline, and when it plays, a slow column moves along the box.

Also notice the many countersubjects (secondary recurring melodies). They are made clearly visible in the video: wherever they appear, their notes are highlighted and connected so that each occurrence looks like a small, recognizable constellation.

It might have been interesting to treat all subject and countersubjects equally with the "constellation" style (which I find clearer than the weird box-and-column), then try representing harmonic aspects of the composition, which are so far completely left out of the visualization. Not that it would be an easy task, of course...

Unfortunately the problem is low population density.

Political parties are constantly proposing to build a fast rail link between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

But at this stage the populations of the cities are just too low to make it economically feasible.

Melbourne and Sydney are about 4M each, and Brisbane is 2M.

By comparison, the Northeastern United States [1] has a population of 55M, in a smaller geographic area. And Japan has a population of 130M in an area about half the size of Sydney's state of New South Wales.

I wish it could be done. It would be so much better to be able to board and disembark in the centre of town rather than having to drive/commute to and from airports. I'm hopeful that Hyperloop may be the answer, but we'll see.

Speaking of anomalies, tunnels and London. On the Piccadilly line between Hyde Park Corner and Green Park it feels like the tube train takes forever while going at great speed. Yet the distance is barely half a mile.

There's a handful of stations on the tube where above ground they're but a few minutes walk even though underground the train takes much longer (and I believe I much more circuitous path). IIRC you can actually jump out at the platform and run above ground to the next station before the train arrives.

I object to pointing to 'added sugars' as the bad guys. Your body processes added sugar and natural sugar in the same way. Fruits contain vitamins, but they are also high in sugar. So the amazing changes people report might just as well be obtained by taking vitamin pills and more fibers.

I'm not saying that a better diet doesn't make you feel better, just that 'no added sugar' is just a rule of thumb. 'Natural sugar' is not in any way better (or worse) than 'added sugar'.

SolarNet addresses one aspect of the issue but there's another important one here for PowerPC. Every instruction has to start on a 4-byte boundary[1] so if a sequence of bytes that make up the Evil Instruction is present but at a 1 byte offset you're still perfectly safe. This isn't true for x86, where if you start executing at byte 1000 you might get one valid sequence of instructions but if you start executing at byte 1001 you might get another equally valid but malicious sequence[2].

[1] Unless there's some variable width mode like ARM's thumb I'm not aware of, but even then you're limited to 2 byte boundaries.

> Not sure if you want to be playing games with the law like that.

There's no law involved here. "Infringement" in this context relates to a term defined in YouTube's TOS with regards to the ContentID take-down service provided to the big right-holders industry. Not the legal sense of "copyright infringement", because nobody is making a copyright infringement claim in this whole story.

The entire ContentID take-down service is designed so that YouTube will have to deal with as little copyright infringement claims (from the big right-holder industries) as possible.

From the perspective of the uploaders and viewers, ContentID is just this thing that helps YouTube take down videos, which they have the right to do (as per the TOS) "for whatever reason". The dispute procedure is just something to make that easier to swallow, but unsurprisingly it's not at all effective in getting a more just result.

That's what you get when you upload your work to a platform like YouTube instead of publishing it yourself. As a small player you can't really get YouTube to sign a contract detailing the license under which you allow them to publish it on their platform.

Because the profit made by "curing people" is actually done by keeping others from curing people, via aggressive patenting, FUD over generics, lobbying against legislation that would make prices reason able...

There's also the fact that public health is not a simple economic market, where customers can simply not buy your product. In a lot of cases, it is a life or death situation, and real human have to be treated, so it should be considered a public service.
This would certainly prevent new expensive drugs from entering the market. Unfortunately, it won’t result in new cheap drugs entering the market (something that the current system provides, despite all its problems, after a few years).

Asian air traffic is not increasing fast enough to save A380, Singapore Airlines (24), Korean Air (10) and China Southern Airlines (5) = 39 planes operating or ordered is not enough.

One thing that cripples A380 adoption is its size. Airports and airfields before A380 were not designed to handle plane of that size and weight. Expensive changes for regular routes may be needed and new airports are not build very often.

Interestingly A380 is relatively pavement-friendly aircraft because it's wide multi axis landing gears limit the maximum strain amplitude. Alas, landing fees are paid by weight, so A380 can't benefit from that.

Top Web Development Articles of the Week (08 Jan 2018)
True, if anything it was probably the second most lively crypto community effort I've seen to date. Bitcoin was a community for everyone, and the biggest. Litecoin was just about price. Ether and Ripple were just about price and a few devs talking about tech. Doge was about community, it was really unique in that way and a lot of fun. Relatively few really cared about its price in any serious way and everyone just wanted this thing to blow up for the fun of it.

Anyway... more importantly, there's absolutely no way anyone is able to cash out anywhere close to $2b in dogecoin haha.

I think what people don't fully get is that these small coins had 0.1% the market cap of bitcoin over the past few months, and it had just <$100k volume per day worldwide for most of last year. (about half of a single walmart's daily sales). That means it's pretty easy to manipulate. You just set-up a simultaneous buy and sell order with two accounts on an exchange, buying doge for bitcoin at 10x the price. Of course, you're selling to yourself, so you don't lose anything in this process. But you are momentarily creating a price momentum that others may pick up on. Throw some posts in trading forums for all the new people who don't understand anything and just talk about price movements to get-rich-quick, and you've got people jumping on the bandwagon. It's a typical pump & dump and it's the only reason we suddenly talk about ICOs and other coins, because when bitcoin moves up quickly like it has, it's an easy time to exploit all the other coins that have tiny volume / price, but lots of potential eyeballs if you make the price move.

London-Singapore/Dubai-Sydney works, not a whole lot of other routes do

It's notable that Qantas, which still operates the 747 as well as the A380 on its Australia-London routes (with layovers in SE Asia or the Middle East) has just started using the Dreamliner to operate its first ever non-stop Australia-London flight, departing from Perth (Australia's Western-most major city) [1].

It's conceivable that over time, Qantas could retire all its 747s and A380s and fly all its London passengers from Perth on the Dreamliner, using its many 737s and A320s for connections to/from from the rest of Australia.

I might give IF a try, but am afraid that I will be in eternal hunger.
It depends on so many factors, such as the company, open source or not, the scale, the range of products, size of the doc team, whether you want developer/API and user documentation. It also depends how you define user!

You could use something like GitHub markdown/GitHub pages. You could use something like Markdown and a custom script like I do for my website (source code in my GitHub). There are solutions like Sphinx (as used by Python) or Jekyll for building a static docs site. You could also use Hugo static site generator etc. etc. - there are many tools out there. These are simple solutions but it ranges up to heavy weight tools like DITA/DocBook (not that I am recommending those in this case).

Also take a look at readthedocs.org.

I don't really think I am underestimating it, we can see a clear connection between supporters of Trump (and other far-right populist politicians) and the disinformation they've received from Russia. I'm not suggesting Russia started the angry movements that are dismissive of experts and government officials to begin with but they could potentially swing other people to join the already existing movement.

We already know this is possible. The media has managed to influence elections multiple times, so has celebrities and religious officials (in Sweden, one of our most beloved children's books authors is credited with influencing the 1976 election a lot) and Facebook makes the angry person with a catchy meme as influential for a few weeks.

The thing is that too many don't trust traditional media even when it's revealed Russia were influencing elections. As the piece stated, more than 30% of Americans believe Russian meddling in the US election is fake news, even though the US intelligence community has no doubt they were involved. 30% is absolutely enough to swing an election.

So, I'm not really suggesting censorship, neither is the opinion piece linked in the OP. Let Facebook be responsible for the defamation resulting from these malicious posts and you can bet your ass they'll throw money at stomping out this problem.
On mobile so sorry for no links. "Fat is bad" is untrue. Watch any of the plethora of anti sugar films and you can get a brief history on the sugar lobby in the US and how fat's link to cardiovascular disease is limited. Salt is also not a problem, but it depends on your water intake and exercise (ie sweat) levels. Obviously, a pure fat and salt diet might not be the best choice, but both are solid parts of a healthy diet, especially if one is striving to be strong and fit.

How does it do that exactly? Anything you can do in wasm you can do in JavaScript, only was can do it faster. This freak out that some people have over wasm is bizarre to me on a technical level.

How did this happen, then? https://www.snopes.com/shane-patrick-boyle-died-after-starti...
When I found out about Bitcoin, I wanted to try some cryptocurrency to see what it was in practice, how it would work. Dogecoin was perfect for this learning purpose. I mined a little, bought about USD5 of it. Gave some tips on Reddit.

I liked the explicit purpose of the community to not be a speculative instrument. You should always use it as currency and most users were against holding it as wealth. I guess they lost that battle to the speculative greedy forces.

Once I learned enough, I stopped playing with it and forgot about some coins left in my wallet. That ~USD5 is worth ~USD430 today. But I forgot about the coins and the password. :) So, no profit from my early playing time.
I have this handy bookmark that will remove all top-level unmovable HTML on a page. One click will generally remove all popups and banners that obstruct viewing:

(I hope that doesn't get mangled by HN formatting)

For a tiny piece of javascript, it works amazingly well on so many websites. Give it a try!
> we aren't getting newer better drugs

Source? My casual understanding of American pharmaceutical R&D is the majors drive profits into acquiring successful biotech companies, which in turn drives investment in a thriving biotech industry (which tends to do the early-stage research). This model pushes economic gains to research risk takers and lets the majors focus on marketing and distribution, a decent division of labour.
