Still, unless executed, they are worthless. Without at least a bit of execution, it's impossible to determine which ones are good and which ones are terrible.

I totally agree with the argument. I totally disagree with the cost estimates. Unless you're actually going to the grocery store every day (and you need to incorporate that into the amount of time involved), vegetables go bad.

For example, the amount of cilantro they sell at the grocery store is for a dozen servings of this meal.

Zynga needs Facebook today, yes.

I think the parent question was more thinking long term, at what point will the opportunity costs of focusing so heavily on Facebook outweigh the benefits to Zynga?

I can think of a few situations where this is possible:

1) End of World scenario where Facebook ceases to engage users

2) Zynga has collected a critical mass of email addresses and could successfully drive them into a proprietary wholly-owned portal if they wanted to

3) Facebook creates a conflict of interest e.g. Facebook-branded games, that are awesome

4) Slowly, revenue from non-Facebook channels outgrows that from Facebook or non-Facebook customer acquisition becomes far more cost-effective etc.

Any one of these scenarios could play out. As could dozens of others - it's going to be interesting to see if the Facebook/Zynga partnership lasts or if Zynga makes a grab for independence at some point, and why.

So assuming that is relevant (I don't doubt some doctor still had medicines on the shelf in 2005 (date on post) from 2001 but at what rates your comment does not state) around now we should be already seeing a large drop in autism rates since the shelf life of the older medicines has expired? As there has not been a corresponding drop at all I hold that the autism caused by mercury in vaccines lobby is barking up the wrong tree.

Edit. didn't downvote you btw, did up vote after the downvote as your comment is fair and contributes to the debate. :(
very true. but all the shopping and prep (despite the claim that it is easy) is a big pain in the ass. I'd gladly pay twice as much for healthy fare that was convenient as fast food.

Fortunately, the company I work for provides incredibly fresh organic salad that's as cheap as fast food.
Ask HN: Would you work for a team where you're the smartest person?
I recently interviewed with a team; it became apparent that if I were to hire on, I would be the "smartest person on the team" and probably wouldn't have any intellectual peers (this is unlikely, I know, but based on whom I interviewed with I'm not optimistic).

I've usually worked at places where I was an above-average person and enjoyed the mentoring of the really smart people. I'm at a point in my career where I'm considering taking a less technical role to help mentor an inexperienced team, but I'm wondering if those who have made this decision before could give some of their experience and/or advice.

Do you like being the top dog? What do you miss? Have things worked out? Regrets?
> This is total nonsense.

Yet, the author of the article himself agrees with me:

"Yes, you need to create and maintain the chain of supervisors yourself."

> You cannot write your own supervisors in other languages.

Now, that is total nonsense. First of all, Turing complete is Turing complete, so your statement is wrong just on this basis.

Now if you want to argue that it's easier to maintain such a chain of supervisors in Erlang than, say, in Java, I'll just disagree. You spawn processes (lightweight processes) all the time in Java and monitoring their death is a few lines of code.

You just don't need the support of the JVM for that, and going further, I just don't see what JVM support adds for this particular functionality.

Hence my point that Erlang doesn't buy you much over traditional programming languages in that area.
I concur. They love us all and want us to be happy.
You are not really presenting any evidence, especially evidence particular to vaccines and autism. It doesn’t matter how nice and great the alternative health board is if they can’t muster satisfactory evidence.

I would also think that if what you say is indeed true, many scientists would be very interested in your case.
G.S. had the placements before the announcement "leaked."

Could you describe why you chose not to vaccinate for anything?

:-) Wildly inaccurate assumption. :-)

My oldest son is fully vaccinated. I was diagnosed with CF in May 2001, just before I turned 36. My oldest son was diagnosed the following month, shortly after turning 14. (He was born the day after my 22nd birthday. My youngest was born on my 5th wedding anniversary. When I was married, I went around telling everyone my husband was too cheap to buy me anything. <wink>)

When I was first diagnosed, it was after having been bedridden for 3 1/2 months, after 10 weeks of sinusitis turned to pneumonia. The first few years, I got my flu shot every year. My then teenaged son refused his and was very adamant that he would rather have the flu than the flu shot. I was very slow to join the anti-vax crowd and I don't promote it as a position. But I did eventually stop getting my annual flu shot and my youngest son never got the last of his vaccinations. The reason I stopped getting my vaccinations: Absolutely everyone (including my oldest son) who was helping me get well when most of the wold insisted it couldn't be done were strongly anti-vax. No on tried to talk me out of it. But I eventually decided to skip the shot and see if I did better. I haven't gone back.

As for doctors over-prescribing medicine: I think that bias is built in to the way they are compensated. Drugs offer short-term gains with long-term consequences. The doctors can claim credit for the short-term gains while distancing themselves from the long-term negative consequences and not really owning that -- even though it isn't at all secret and everyone in the CF community refers to drug side effects as "a necessary evil". If you are basically healthy, you can do this to yourself occasionally and it isn't necessarily a big deal. But if you have a chronic, deadly condition, it helps to put you in the grave and you cannot prove it. All the experts blame your genes, there aren't really big samples of groups of people successfully doing something else (just a few "anecdotal"/lone nutcases like me), and doing nothing (which is what people seem to think I am doing) does in fact kill you if you have CF.

As for diet and lifestyle: Life is chemistry. Everything you eat, drink or touch impacts your body chemistry to some small degree. If you are willing to do enough research and make enough changes, the chemical impact is greater than what drugs do to the body. But it's hard to sell people on that. <shrug>

Thanks for your reply.

I'm going to assume the later. Why would they need to perform Paxos on every single transaction when just using it to elect a master gets 99.9% of the benefits? That would be consistent with the implementation of BigTable in general.

EDIT: The higher write latency and 3x CPU cost is probably because it uses synchronous replication to write to all of the slaves before acknowledging the transaction.
So you're saying a good salary is not enough to merit good work in return?
You're both right and wrong here.

Firstly, there are almost never involuntary bumps. Someone will always take money. It's basic economics and it'll always work. The involuntary bumping is really only ever experienced when there is mass delay (e.g. the snowstorm in nyc here recently). This is because there is significant seat inventory (again, think legacy airlines) and usually people can be re-routed with not much more than a few hours delay and a couple hundred bucks in their pocket.

Hotel costs (and food coupons) are only required (for domestic flights) if the delay is overnight or past a certain time-window. Often, again, once you opt-in for voluntary bumping, you agree to be denied access to any other offer that may be made via DOT guidelines.

Finally, miles are almost always worth more, if you're on an airline that values them properly (aa & united especially). Note that Citi have often invested in AA's holding company by buying miles:

"A total of $2.9 billion in additional liquidity and new aircraft financing was obtained. The $2.9 billion consists of: $1.3 billion in new liquidity, including $1 billion in cash from the advance sale of AAdvantage ™ frequent flyer miles to Citibank and $280 million in cash under a loan facility from GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) secured by owned aircraft; and $1.6 billion in sale-leaseback financing commitments from GECAS for Boeing 737s previously ordered by the Company." - http://www.aa.com/i18n/amrcorp/newsroom/network_enhancements...

Clearly they're not worth nothing.

The tipping point however is that it's almost always cheaper for the airline to give you miles than money; the cost of miles can be deferred (and you might not even use them!). This makes them a better deal, as you can almost always exchange them for a greater dollar rate later on (e.g. to get a better hotel rate discount, a free flight elsewhere, etc).

(finally pro-tip, most airlines distinguish between miles claimable for status, and miles spendable on flights/services).
"There are a million ways to spend an hour a day on something to improve your startup."

Maybe. Personally, I know if I'm going to block off time to do a certain thing (such as cooking a new recipe then I work more efficiently.

Not to mention it's entirely possible to make one large batch of something that could feed you for a couple meals.

This is a big win for nVidia on the supercomputer side of things. They will soon have to face integrated CPU-GPU solutions from Intel and AMD which greatly simplify the process of building and programming a supercomputer. They've just one-upped them both by creating a similar offering with better performance on the GPU side (where the FLOPS are) and better power efficiency on the CPU side. In the race to the exaflop, nVidia just changed the odds dramatically.

Kind of a dearth of facts here... "The biggest reason is by only fueling your body with shit, you’re also fueling your brain with shit" I'd like to see some kind of evidence to support that.

I'd be all for preparing the meal he suggests, but with shopping, prep, cooking, and cleanup it's a significant time investment compared to pizza so I'd like evidence it's doing my startup better.
You're right; I'm seeing dict() with explicit kwargs taking 3 times as long as a literal. My unscientific and non-rigorous benchmarks tell me that the construction and unpacking of the kwargs in the dict() call are the cause of most of the slowdown.

With the time it takes to assign with a literal normalized to 1, I'm seeing dict(kwargs) (with kwargs created before the benchmark) take 2 and dict(key_1=val_1, key_2=val_2, etc.) take 3.
Because the beans, chicken, and beef he explicitly suggested aren't enough?
>"I don't understand the Anti-Vaccine crowd."

While I don't agree with the factual basis on which they are making their decision, it is entirely rational given their belief.

MMR are [edit] usually temporary and can typically be effectively treated by the medical systems of industrialized nations, whereas autism is permanent and generally untreatable.

It is analogous to purchasing a large heavy vehicle (e.g. SUV) based on the superior crash protection it provides passengers and despite the increased risk to other vehicles in a collision and the potential for increased long term environmental degradation.
$4-7 per meal

I agree with you and all, and am working hard on eating healthy myself, but do you have any idea how much ramen $7 can buy you?

I'm certain there are people out there who would have trouble affording $4-7 per meal & funding the early stages of a company. And don't forget you have to own the facilities to cook properly- ramen can be made in a paper bowl with a $5 water heater or $20 microwave.
When the Intel Macs were initial released there was a contest to install Windows XP on it natively (before bootcamp was even announced.) Enough people donated to the prize pool that the winner walked away with 14,000 dollars.
You are not really presenting any evidence, especially evidence particular to vaccines and autism. It doesn’t matter how nice and great the alternative health board is if they can’t muster satisfactory evidence.

I was not offering to give evidence particular to vaccines and autism. I don't even believe that vaccines directly and solely cause autism. (I do believe they are a contributing factor but I think it's more complicated than the two sides want to make it out to be.) I was only suggesting that the two possible characterizations being listed for parents who are anti-vax were not the only two possibilities.

I would also think that if what you say is indeed true, many scientists would be very interested in your case.

You would think so. But my doctor's reaction to me getting healthier was to schedule me with fewer and fewer appointments on the theory that I didn't really need his attention and other patients needed him more, while expressing zero interest in how I was getting well, even though he was clear it was something I was doing, not something he was doing. (This is another reason I haven't seen a doctor recently: My experience is doctors don't really want to hear what I have to say and the only thing they can offer me is drugs, which I have worked extremely hard to get off of and plan to stay off of.)
I'd argue that Zynga needs FB more than FB needs Zynga.
Nice article. If you want something cheaper than Raman that is better for you, just go to the Asian grocery store. You can get a pound of bok choy for less than $1. Pick up some tofu and some chicken broth (and noodles). Boil all that for about 1.5 minutes and now you have yourself a sodium free, healthy meal that costs less than the disgusting Cup of Noodles or any fast food you might be eating.

Yes they can. Companies do it all the time with employee stock purchasing programs, for instance, where you have to hold on for at least a year before flipping it.
Fair enough, a lot of people in general obviously do that though. I guess my point is that I see people posting stuff here all the time that's contradicted by science, but people only call it out on socially acceptable issues.

For example, if I had a dollar for every time I saw someone on HN criticizing the methodology of a study they haven't actually read then I wouldn't be doing a startup right now. And yet these posts rarely get downvoted.

From the DOT page:

DOT has not mandated the form or amount of compensation that airlines offer to volunteers. DOT does, however, require airlines to advise any volunteer whether he or she might be involuntarily bumped and, if that were to occur, the amount of compensation that would be due. Carriers can negotiate with their passengers for mutually acceptable compensation.

In other words, it's very much down to how you can negotiate with the airline to derive value. :)

Ask HN: If you have ADHD, what are your strategies to deal with it?
I am a developer at a small company. I suffer from ADHD and it has started to take its toll. The trouble is unless the problem is interesting, I am unable to maintain focus for more than 20 mins. Subsequently, I spend a lot of time in HN,Slashdot, reddit etc. I have managed to meet deadlines(by pulling all nighters before the deadline) but I know I could have done a better job had I started earlier. The other side effect of procrastination and inattention is my family life suffers. I am constantly anxious about work not done at home and my wife hates it. Drugs(Ritalin etc) do not work for me as I do not tolerate the side effects well(cannot sleep at all). While I am going to give drugs another try, I was wondering if there were others developers who had ADD and what their strategies were to deal with the situation.
> A quote from Steve Jobs comes to mind. "I think PCs are going to be like trucks. And this is going to make some people uneasy."

Yes, Jobs has been predicting the death of the Windows PC (when he says "PC", he really means "Windows PC". He is offended if you call the computers he creates "PC's") for a while.

He's not very often wrong, but it's one of these few times.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Money only gets you so far, and first impressions are hard to break. To really make me give my all, I need to work some place where I'm valued and not some cog in a machine. If my first impression is that you view me as a machine that you put money in one end and code comes out the other, then you'll have to work twice as hard to get rid of that impression once I've proven myself to you (assuming I stick around long enough to prove myself to you).
Absolutely, where is the proof of this, the studies? The human body is extremely good at extracting nutrients from just about anything.

I'm not particularly in the know, but I think it's important to keep in mind that this isn't a "normal" platform release. Honeycomb is still a bit immature, we're not expecting to see shipping devices for another 3-6 months (Motorola is simply saying "Q2" at this point from what I can tell).

It's a bit too early for 3rd party developers to be invited to the party I think.
Great idea! I think the idea of building distributed systems using cryptographic hashes to navigate the universe of available code (and other information) is very powerful. I've spent some time prototyping systems with a similar concept using the sha1 indexed Venti deduplicative data server created for Plan 9. One challenge for the acceptance of such systems is building a web of trust so that a given hash-referenced object can be relied upon to do what it is described as doing.

Here's (http://www.dana.org/news/brainhealth/detail.aspx?id=9854) an excellent article, but I'd think it'd be pretty common-sense that you cannot live on starches and fats alone. Your body does actually use vitamins, fiber and different types of fats (monounsaturated is one you might not find in pizza, for instance) to function. Your brain requires them as well.

The specifics are easily found on Google–go for it. The article I linked has some good information as well.
