As a parent of a budding 5yr old.. I am starting to think about this upcoming phase in terms of where to raise him.

Currently the two options we are contemplating between is staying in a large major urban city (population ~10M) or moving to Bariloche, Patagonia (population ~150k)

I only have my own childhood experiences to work from growing up in NYC..and remembering vividly how I yearned to always play in nature. Going to summer camp was my only joy to escape the intensities of the city.

I noticed how pre-teens and teens are here in the big cities, and the kinds of activities they do ( which are quite varied naturally ) vs the kinds that Bariloche will have to offer.

On one side the kids from big cities never get bored.. but seem to always grow up very fast..and get into all sorts of night-life very early on.

On the other side, if you are teen bored in a small town then getting into trouble there with less stuff around that will kill you is very appealing to a parent.

What are your stories??
You're missing my point though, Snapchat, Instagram and Musical.ly do not offer features for organising events.
> Most of our grocery stores have huge varieties of produce and lean proteins are relatively inexpensive

It depends on where you live. In the U.S. poor and working class neighborhoods often lack grocery stores. The only options are convenience stores where fresh, healthy food is very expensive, availability is limited, and quality is poor. I've read that the problem is on such a wide scale that it significantly impacts health. Cities work at attracting grocery chains to poor neighborhoods.

Try it yourself: Try shopping for groceries in a neighborhood with those demographics in your town. Or just layer a map of income with a map of grocery stores; I think I can predict where you will find the Whole Foods.

I saw the screenshot of the FB anti-malware message being tweeted about and thought for sure it was a malware/phishing scam, so I was surprised to read that it is an official FB feature (admittedly I haven't been using FB much lately).

That the feature couldn't detect the user's OS (had her download a Windows binary even though she was on a Mac) doesn't lend much confidence though
If you compromise my dev machine, you'll install a keylogger and sniff all my passwords. The only way I see that even passphrase-less keys are worse than passwords is if I physically lose the machine (and don't use full disk encryption).
I'm more concerned about people using weak master passwords for their password managers. It's a single point of failure in the security of every other password they have.

Because people like bikeshedding.
Cons is a little bit weird, but it is par with C's "typedef", it could have been named better.

car and cdr are weirder, but there are reasons people use them over first and rest: 1- they are shorter and 2- they can be combined (caadr, cadr, cddr, instead for (first (rest x)) etc).

It is still bikeshedding. You learn that stuff in less time than what it takes to create an angry post.

And if you really hate them, you don't have to use them. Just define a macro and you can stop complaining. Your coworkers may not like this though.

That's unfortunate. I had thought that at least Mozilla had people that understood BGP and network routing and why it's impossible for an ISP to treat all data equally and also maintain good QoS. I guess this is just them advocating for themselves as it reduces their costs.
Congratulations to them.

I don't really understand why anyone would use dropbox given the multitude of different offerings out there. I'm curious if anyone who uses them can give me a take on why I should use them. I currently use Google Drive + Google Docs and am very satisfied. I pay for 1 TB of storage for personal work / storage.

I'm not sure whether it's better than usual that they actually do let you cancel online, or worse that they make you drill through apparently 20 screens or so of trying to get you not to cancel, answering questions, and finding de-emphasized buttons to click on. Thinking about it, I think that's the biggest obstacle to signing up to more services - not that I'll miss the money, but that it's going to be a royal PITA to cancel when I decide to.

I should give props to Google Play's subscription system for making the cancel interface work well. I subscribed to HBO Go for a few months to watch some shows, and wanted to cancel when I was done and didn't see anything else I wanted to watch. I just clicked one button in the play store, and it cancelled the renewal right away AND also kept my access active until the end of the period I already paid for. That's much better than I expected, and I will have much less worries about subscribing to things on the Play store in the future.

But yes, please go away "retention mind hacks".
I think this depends on which RnRS you look at.
Most of the machines on the list have a 16 bit address range (65536 bytes without paging) and usually less than that in free memory, GC or no GC, does not matter.
I know it's anecdotal, but from NY to FL to TX to CA, I don't find myself commonly walking amongst people who are too fit to throw off BMI.
True. Although, that ignores the fact that even hobbyist pilots and skippers tend to have far more training and discipline than the average motorist. The name might be accurate, but the self awareness of the name is terrible.
I don't believe so.

Given that its a reference for one of the great "walking cities", I think it disputes the OPs assertion "the design of American cities" and "car culture" are substantial contributors.

In other words whether one walks or or drives to McDonalds probably matters very little.
Every password manager has broken/buggy autofill on at least some sites. It's a really hard thing to get right, and the developers are always one step behind the changes that are made to the sites.
They are used by lots of businesses. It’s just for personal use.
I agree completely. You're sending a prefix which is good enough to reject 99.9999% of candidate passwords. Maybe you're fine sending that prefix to TroyHunt or to 1Password because you trust they won't try to use it against you.

I'm not passing judgement of whether they are trustworthy. But I do think it should have been mentioned in all the back-patting around "k-anonymity" exactly how useful or not the prefix would be in the hands of an attacker.

The argument that "the attacker won't know which user the prefix belongs to" is certainly a big qualifier that would make access to the prefixes less useful. Can we be certain that always holds true?

Certainly in the case of 1Password the user is sending their hash prefixes in a way that directly identifies the user's identity to 1Password, and anyone who can snoop on that communication. This is also true for anyone using the HIBO webform directly to submit their favorite passwords.
"Unfortunately, even the strict very low saturated fat, lowcholesterol American Heart Association Step 2 diet only minimally lowers serum cholesterol. Hunninghake et al found a mean 5% reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in patients following this program and discouragingly found an equivalent 6% fall in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, so that ratios were unchanged. Low-fat diets as commonly prescribed rarely produce significant LDL declines. Studies performed on controlled metabolic units where intakes are rigidly enforced can demonstrate cholesterol reductions of 15% with diet alone; however, in the real world, people can rarely replicate these results."

I suppose one good thing in this is that Citi caught this error on its own and not as a result of a class action suit. So customers will receive the full value of their overpayment, rather than a puny voucher dictated by a court where a large chunk goes to the lawyers bringing suit.

I don't really see the correlation. In Brazil, obesity is commonly associated with lower incomes, and if you were to correlate with the transportation system usage patterns there, one might misguidedly conclude that public transit usage is related to obesity. It seems more logical to make a correlation with lack of food variety (in both cases, cheaper food tend to be heavy on carbs and fats) and sedentary lifestyle

A simpler and more coherent argument against eugenics is that it rapidly constrains a population's genotypical variation.
I never thought of the CEO angle (not sure what that says about my intelligence, but hopefully it says something good about my morals). I know that my thinking as a 10 year old was that if I got caught robbing a bank, my mom wouldn't have been bothered that I tried to rob a bank, she'd have been bothered that I _failed_.

As an adult I realize that she'd not have been happy in either case. (I think. Probably.) But it was exactly that shift of thinking from "should I do this" (prone to peer pressure) to "is the payoff worth the risk" (which leads to "what is the risk?") that kept me from doing anything particularly stupid and why I brought the story up in relation to the article.

As adults we normally relate "should I do this" to "what is the payoff" and "what is the risk". As a preteen/teen the life experiences to encourage those connections aren't there, so the decisions will be different from the average adults'. This crazy advice (my mother doesn't remember making it, so it was probably an off-the-cuff attempt at humor that altered my life) created a temporary bridge between those concepts until I had the experiences to build my own bridges.

In retrospect it's actually similar to how certain religious doctrines provide reasons for moral decisions when you wouldn't necessarily have those morals on your own. mindblown.
I moved from Canada to the US a few years back, and gained an enormous amount of weight and gained a bunch of health issues, all food related. Here's my take on it.

Food is much, MUCH cheaper. Not a big difference at the grocery store for whole produce and raw ingredients (though it is cheaper). But the processed foods, premade stuff, deserts, drinks, etc? A fraction of the cost.

Restaurants are also much, much cheaper. Where I used to work, going to the sit down restaurant next door downtown brought me down 20-25 bucks. A similar restaurant downtown where I now live has equivalent food for 8-10 bucks. I make 4 times my Canadian salary and pay a lot less taxes, so effectively, it's virtually not worth it for me to cook, if my only constraint was money.

Sugar in EVERYTHING. Food that used to be a little bit sweet (not necessarily health, but not the end of the world) is drenched in sugar. I have to be careful when I get an orange juice in case its sugar added. A milkshare at the local icecream shop has way more sugar. Sugar sugar sugar EVERYWHERE.

Ordering food is also way easier, with formerly Foodler, GrubHub, Doordash, etc. I have no idea if those services became common up north after I left, but that was a big change, being able to order from 100 different restaurants at any point in time, sometimes in the middle of the night, with a few mouse clicks.

The portions: Cheesecake Factory exists up north, but it's not considered normal. Here, while the portion sizes are certainly above average, they aren't exactly unique either. You have Outback and the like all service you enough food to last you 3 days.

I also find it a lot more common to have fatty or sugary snacks at the office, and soft drinks, etc.

I'll shamefully admit I have zero self control when it comes to food. I have a sweet tooth like no other. But the price and availability constraints in my hometown stopped me from going overboard. For a while I was pretty much flush at my "recommended" weight. After I moved here? Things got really bad for me.
Dude. It's pretty easy to say that. You're educated and you definitely understand well the implications of sugar consumption. It's easy to imply this just because of your presence here.

Someone uneducated will not understand this well. It's not about being stupid or being poor either. You don't hear people blaming their problems on sugar...

I consume sugar products because they are delicious (dopamine release).
However, I have the knowledge and education to make a conscious decision about moderation. I know how to read a food label. I know how to calculate the amount of sugar in a product. I know these things because I got access to education that allowed me to understand this.

No fucking Iced Tea Can is telling you that. You know what is telling you? Price: 99 cents, Flavor: Great... There's your problem. It's not about being stupid. It's about not having enough data to understand the implications of those decisions.

Uneducated people don't know about caloric guidelines or recommended processed sugar intake. The only mental filter for consumption of any edible product is its availability and personal flavor appeal.
And less ability. Private citizens don't have the ability to subpoena records.

More seriously, there are loads of bad regulations that were never good to begin with. Of course there would be. Motivations vary from do-gooding to incompetence to corruption, and if you believe this is impossible then I've got a bridge to sell you. And there are loads of bad regulations that are bad just because they are no longer necessary or relevant. Of course there would be.
I meant that referring to someone as "needy" is needlessly derogatory and offensive, regardless of what the poster meant. If he meant low-income, there are less offensive ways to express that which he should use instead of "needy".
Those comments are a lot of fun to read through. It seems like, at least on HN, people were generally positive about Dropbox. A lot of comments about solving a problem (more so for windows users) and having a good demo.
>It's a general population measure valid over a large sample size

This assumes a relatively symmetric distribution of heights and weights though, right? I'm curious if the tails for which BMI is individually invalid are equally populated. Basically, are short, fat people as common as tall, thin people?
Wait I think you're missing a word there...
Does anyone not do this? Would be strange I would think both from a candidate and employer perspective to have missing information. Don’t mass apply, pick companies you feel are professional and want to work for. No decent company would call your current employer without your knowledge like that.
The issue, as you suggest, isn't so much that healthy food isn't available at a reasonable price but that turning it into meals may be challenging for someone working two jobs and lacking a proper kitchen. I don't think anyone can seriously dispute that. I just think it's mostly a mistake to lay the problem solely on prepared and fast food--which often isn't actually all that cheap.

As for travel, yeah. I started doing a lot more a number of years back and it took me a while to get more disciplined about it. I find it's more about regulating my intake than eating healthy per se. I try to avoid eating just because some food has been laid out for me. And I tend to keep things to one or two full meals a day.
For me its because I can directly link to images and text files as opposed to One drive or Google drive.
I live in Missouri. Response to fit people is highly variable, and seems to depend on the family. Some fat families here seem to see fit people with jealousy, not understanding how they stay so thin. Others just don't seem to care about their obesity and think of normal sized people as abnormal, like their sense of what is normal is completely shifted. Yet others are ashamed of their obesity, yet none of their attempts to change seem to work.

Mating behavior here seems to follow the norm. Fat people tend to date/marry fat people, and healthy people mostly stick with other healthy people.
As a fit Midwesterner it's seen as good (and it made dating easier). There are plenty of fit Midwesterners so being fit in the Midwest isn't weird at all in my experience

It was stated that the obesity crisis might be caused by the cost of vegetables (or otherwise healthy food). This is nonsense. I don't know why you're getting picky with definitions while that was just an example to prove that it's not as if an eggplant is $20 and a cheeseburger $1.

> Or, I could buy an 8 pack of little debbie snack cakes for the same amount. 5 servings of lettuce that has nearly no nutritional substance, and that I have to combine with something else anyway to make it palatable...or 8 servings of convenient, enjoyed food.

Right. I would never eat that, though. There are also plenty of ways to make vegetables palatable: eggplants with tomatoes with spices are very tasty, for instance.

I'm also not saying that junk food isn't cheaper, just that healthy food is affordable for everyone.

I know this isn't a very good answer for most people, but for me at least, I trust Dropbox way more than Google. I really dislike the direction and influence Google has on the Web right now, and I'm more or less ideologically opposed to them as a company (and in general, any giant monopolistic company).

I hate the fact that I have to "vote with my dollar," but in the end I just feel better giving my money to an "independent" company like Dropbox or Snapchat than to Google or Facebook.

Cheapest I've seen in a UK Lidl was a kilo of carrots discounted to 20p. I can't see how that could possibly pay for any of the supply chain but I'll take it.

Up here in Scotland I think we have a good illustration of how obesity can be a cultural problem, especially linked to alcohol. There's a reasonable amount of healthy food available but the traditional preference is all fat, starch and sugar.
I do. I used to use Google Drive but then Google renamed the PC app and discontinued it and rather trying to figure out what I have to use instead I just said screw it and grabbed Dropbox. Plus many apps I want to use are integrated into Dropbox far better than anything else so it makes using it as a storage area for multiple apps and devices super easy.

I just wish it had a good encryption option like SpiderOak.

Maybe in California. Certainly not in the eastern US.

I have uneducated friends, they aren't stupid.
Agreed. Thought they would be great at first, but their client uses way too much memory, especially in Linux. Their support was lacking. They don't (or didn't) provide changelogs. I finally switched to rclone and am using Google Drive due to price. Thinking that I'd need automatic syncing, I'm actually happy with manual syncing, so that I can track my changes as well. Crashplan does the automated syncing portion, and then daily or weekly, I will sync to/from Google Drive. I have my Photos sync from Google Photos as well using rclone.
