Although I understand your point, I think you're confusing things by saying that you will get different answers depending on the degree of of normalisation. Strictly speaking, if two databases differ only in their level of normalisation, then they will store the same information, just in different places. When you update the denormalised version, you will have to update the same values in multiple places.

If you don't want to update that value everywhere, then what you have isn't denormalisation, it is actually a different data model, which stores different information. Since you wouldn't be able to get to the "normalised" version you describe without losing information, it is probably wrong to call it "denormalised" in the first place.
stevenbedrick - I stand to correct you on my age. I was born in 1943 not 1944. Yes I am covered by Medicare, see my earlier statements. I was not aware that Medicare would cover 100% of my costs because of my current financial situation, which is pretty much nil, because I cannot program anymore because of extreme pain in my hands.
Actually a proper Manhattan is nothing like a modern Gin/Vodka Martini or a classical 20th century Martini, but is similar in some respects to a Perfect Martini due to the addition of sweet vermouth or the traditional Martinez, believed to be made with sweet vermouth.

Having said that, I do like the odd Rob Roy. Some places shake deliberately to get the froth as Manhattans tend to have a signature twist in posher places. I think you're right to ask to stir instead for a classic Manhattan (especially if you're using Canadian Club or Crown Royal).

Agreed, not only have a not too long periods of unemployment, I cannot be employed in my current condition, let alone the fact that I'm a convicted felon in the eyes of the credit companies, and databases. I was quoted at $12,000 to fix my records and get them straight. So head hunters who access this database will see that I am falsely stated as a convicted felon. When in actuality during my initial court hearings on my past crimes, it is stipulated that after successfully completing probation, my felon would be expunged. Unfortunately, the databases like Equifax and others, have me mistakenly put down as a felon.

Well, this is a broader issue than I was addressing in the grandparent. There may well be devices which we regard as essential to modern life which are potentially infringing on our privacy (I occasionally wonder whether my android phone is listening to me... it would be so easy to bug it.) But facebook is not essential to modern life. At least, I get along without it just fine.
There are of course some techniques like how you set up at the line, but running is one of our most basic functions. I am not a professional runner, but I really would expect high level running technique to consist mostly of fundamental 'dos' and 'donts' (i.e. what many sports would call 'good form'), rather than secret techniques and tricks that take old sages decades to master.

Sure, don't want to name the companies involved, however what happened was exactly what i touched upon: those that could afford to leave once remote working ended did so, all the while the time the others were supposed to be working, they were going to job interviews. in the end, the unskilled workers with salaries stayed, the skilled employees who needed to properly make the transition to a paid job left in droves once they did so (within 2 weeks of remote working ending). One person went off and started a company. they shot themselves in the foot for sticking to the notion that one can only do real work in an office setting despite that the company they bought barely had an office presence and did what they couldn't do with quite a larger budget.

My comment on the page, pretending FB is going to read it:

> I like the additional structured data. Even if I had time to figure out how to structure my Facebook data the way you've done it with this release, it doesn't help much because my friends would have to pick apart the structure. It's a framework where you can expect certain things to be in certain places, like Ruby on Rails.

I was annoyed when they made everyone convert interests to links to pages, but it adds more edges to the graph, and graphs between entities (starting with people) has always been a big part of Facebook.

Indeed. I hope they did it to not accidentally offend people by falsely recognizing a swear word. If so, they would probably be better of taking the non-swear neighbor word.
I would be very surprised if the Marshall Service doesn't have pretty straightforward guidelines about what sorts of things to avoid when under witness protection. I would expect that having a Facebook account at all is something to avoid.

I can see a situation where eventually the idea of not having a Facebook account is in itself something unusual, in which case they might need to refine the policy, but I suspect that currently, it boils down to "don't use Facebook, don't use Twitter".

I disagree with every one of your points. I don't think this leak did a lot of damage. After reading through the memorandums, all I see is a bunch of meeting minutes describing the routine actions that embassy personnel took. Very little of this should have been classified in the first place, and releasing this data is a good thing, in that it gives historians and researchers an inside look into how government personnel go about their day-to-day jobs, and how those day-to-day actions are affected by decisions made at the top.

The government's reaction to the leak is doing far more damage than the leak itself. By trumping up the significance of the data released, the government is harming its own image in the eyes of its own citizens and the eyes of foreign leaders.

>No politician would be brave enough to pass a law against a whistle blower that revealed important information for the public good.

I think that's an incredibly naive world-view. Politicians work first and foremost to secure their own power. If a politician thought that their power base was under threat by a leak, they'd seek to stop the leak by any means necessary. We've already seen this reaction with the Pentagon Papers. There, the New York Times was definitely publishing something in the public interest, but the Defense Department worked to suppress it for exactly the same reason the State Department is working to suppress this publication.

Finally, I question your standing to judge what the public interest is. The New York Times, The Guardian of London, and Reporters Without Borders all say that the leaked State Department memos are in the public interest.
Wait, first the apologists and fraidy-cats told me that I had no right to travel by air, that it was "put up with the nudatron and grope, or take the bus or train or drive".

Hey, now taking the bus makes me a suspect, worthy of a police patdown, apparently.

This is what happens when we get the conservative Supreme Court that we asked for, and they slice the 4th Amendment protection against search and seizure so thin you can see through it.

>... Assange deserves all the pain he's going to get for deciding to publish information that would jeopardize people's physical safety.

I used to think the same way about the Afghan War Diary publication, but I've changed my stance. I haven't heard of a single informant that was killed or even placed under Army protection due to their name being revealed on WikiLeaks. Have you? If there really were people being hunted down and killed because of WikiLeaks, you'd think the Army would publicize those case to prove its point, right?

The fact that we haven't heard any such thing from the Army or the Marine Corps suggests that the Wikileaks publication was significantly less damaging than they originally suggested.
It's not possible to take a screenshot with unprivledged javascript (there's a method to draw a window into a canvas for privledge js in firefox and a screenshot api for chrome and safari).

You're unlikely to do well generating passive income. The profit is going to go to the person running the WP theme site or whatever. There's plenty of work doing small business websites, though.

HN discussion from earlier this week: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1954180
> In most academic disciplines reading and critically analysing current research on a particular topic is a fundamental part of generating research papers

Isn't that generally done by reading new papers that have been published AFTER they have been reviewed?

> I don't think a shortage of people willing to review papers is going to be a problem, and if it is, it's a problem that could easily be solved by the prestigious open access journals requiring those submitting papers to set aside time to participate in the peer review process of others' papers.

I don't think that's a good solution, because I'd rather have the best researchers doing research, rather than reviewing the papers of lesser researchers.

What I think we need to do is recognize that researching and reviewing research are not necessarily done by the best people. For instance there are subjects where I probably could never become a researcher, because I just don't for some reason come up with new ideas in those subjects, but I can understand the new ideas others come up. Hence, I could potentially be a decent reviewer in those subjects.

What could work would be a system where we have reviewer as a separate profession. Researchers submit papers to reviewers who review them and give feedback, and an overall rating which is digitally signed. When a paper is published (by whatever means--open access journal, the researcher's blog, whatever), the signed reviewer ratings can also be included.

Over time, reviewers would develop reputations with readers, and researchers would hire high reputation reviewers to review their papers, allowing the good reviewers to make reviewing their full time job.

When someone posts an unreviewed paper at arXiv.org, I'd expect that reviewers who have not built up reputations would review it for free, and publish their reviews. I'd expect sites would spring up specifically to host these reviews. It would be through these sites that new reviewers would built up their reputations to where researchers will start to pay them to get reviews.

Maybe so, but I never want to be 'just' a tool.
Rather than rendering doctors pointless, perhaps the technological advances are changing the role of doctors. The same thing is happening in the education field.

Doctors perhaps need to start specializing more in areas where it is harder for technology to reach. Maybe they need to think more holistically (something difficult for computers to do). Perhaps they need to actually learn about people in intricate detail - about their diet, habits, health history, etc. prior to diagnosing. Perhaps they need to become strictly health advisors, or partners of health. Maybe they should perform weekly/monthly/yearly meetings with individuals, learning about them over time through spending time with them. Decisions would be truly informed and they would develop true care for the person (and quality as a result).

In addition, it's important that doctors stop being viewed as creatures with omnipotent and infallible knowledge and decision making powers (I know there are exceptions to this but I believe it's true for a lot of people).
A quick comment: Apple HIG calls for removal of redundant information, especially in table views. "User" is redundant imho, just live the username. Getting rid of "#x" is also worth consideration.
Why not just use the HN format: "X points by user y hours ago"?
Clicking on the table cell itself could lead to the article, and clicking on the disclosure button (badge type, with comments count)—to the comments.
The move main menu to the toolbar tabs, so "Articles" loads when you launch the app without the need to click anywhere.

NSFW: Another Year, Another Possibly Depressing Visit to London
There's tons of work. I've freelanced with Ruby on Rails for a good chunk of the last few years, and I know at least half a dozen other freelancers who do Ruby, PHP, and Objective-C work as well. The hardest part, I think, is finding the work. It is indeed out there, but the signal to I-just-need-a-quick-wordpress-template-thrown-up noise ratio is small. One of the best avenues I've found for freelancing is to network with web development and creative agencies, do a little subcontracting for them, and then subsequently absorb some of the smaller projects they're approached with but are too small to be worth it for them.
Ah yes, symbolic actions.

This is what is going on this weekend. My Facebook news feed is being spammed with people changing their profile avatars to cartoon characters, signifying that they're thinking of the children - honest! It reminded me of this cartoon: http://nonadventures.com/2010/01/09/the-breast-intentions/

Q&A with Tobias of Shopify
Try standardizing on "strings as binaries" instead of "strings as lists" within the app. I've found it an elegant and efficient way to deal with text. I believe the root of the issue with pretending strings are lists of integers is that it is not possible to tell the difference between an integer list and a "string". If you use binaries for strings, all of the issues simply go away.
The blog post I'll probably end up reading if it makes it to the front page of HN. I don't often look at the new stuff (sorry, but it's true).

But as-is? It's a 1-1 duplicate of the main page (though it does separate by source) in a different format, and a strange extra layer in the JSON:

{ updatedFeeds:{updatedFeed:[{feed item}]}, metadata:{} }

Why updatedFeeds.updatedFeed[]? There's nothing else in updatedFeeds.

edit:

There's also the inconsistency that updatedFeeds.updatedFeed[x].item may be an array or an object, depending on how many items are by that source. Inconsistency == increased edge-case code == less happy users of the data.

It seems a barely-thought-out representation of the data, nothing I'd want other people to see.

I feel like the biggest danger with a system like this is that you might lose focus or passion while you're in between waves. Even if you're passionate about something while you're working on it, it seems like it would be very easy to become complacent working at your "in-between" job and difficult to get back working on your idea.
Because of the extreme consequences of failure, medicine is slow to innovate. The medicine we see 10 years from now will appear very similar to today's medicine, with survival rates from serious illness continuing to creep up.

Hopefully, I'm wrong. The medical research community needs to focus on analysis of the huge datasets that will be becoming available over the next 10 years. Coaxing trends and patterns out of medical data could result in big breakthroughs, but it is going to need a radical change in how medical information is shared.
