You are probably right. I vaguely remember mid century there were people mostly academics creating scientific post modern music. But of course there was no way to force people to listen to it so it died out.

One other thought. I think for a long time buildings were built to order by the people and business that used them. Now most stuff is built to rent out. Or as public works.

Just remember friend who works for a wealthy person who had a new office built. It's rather nice. But he went through three architects and had to fight with the last one over a bunch of stuff. My friend thinks the architect intentionally made the alcove that holds his file cabinets slightly too small to retaliate against him.

If your definition of 'low-carb diet' includes red meat, cheese, and butter then high cholesterol shouldn't surprise you at all.

People should really look at minimizing their intake of animal fats. Both for ethical and health reasons.
I don't see the connection or implication. Cats are true carnivores, while humans are omnivores.
If you step out of the tech (STEM) bubble, you’ll see that this is going to have a lot of collateral damage. There are niche industries where H-1B is an actual necessity. I know that what people complain about, especially on a tech centric site like HN, is how it’s used in the development industry, but I hope that people remember that there is a world outside of tech that this negatively impacts.
Not from US Census. From other sources below. It's clear it's not just retirees, but folks fleeing expensive urban areas.

> Likewise, recent U.S. population growth also has been uneven. Urban counties have grown at roughly the overall national rate of 13% since 2000. Suburban and small metropolitan areas have grown more briskly. Rural counties have lagged, and half of them have fewer residents now than they did in 2000.

> Suburbs growing more rapidly than rural or urban areas

> About 46 million Americans live in the nation’s rural counties, 175 million in its suburbs and small metros and about 98 million in its urban core counties.

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2018/03/26/us-popu...

> Newly released census data for the first seven years of this decade signal a resumption of the population dispersal that was put “on hold” for a good part of the post-Great Recession period. The Census Bureau’s annual county and metropolitan area estimates through 2017 reveal a revival of suburbanization and movement to rural areas along with Snow Belt-to-Sun Belt population shifts. In addition, the data show a new dispersal to large- and moderate-sized metro areas in the middle of the country—especially in the Northeast and Midwest. If these shifts continue, they could call into question the sharp clustering of the nation’s population—in large metropolitan areas and their cities—that characterized the first half of the 2010s.
It's targeted for both audiences. There is a large b2b customer base but also a large b2c customer base. Sorry I dont have a more clear answer for you. I'm not sure if apple interpreted it as b2b to b2c, or if they even care. My guess, after spending months in this review process with 2 different reviewers and multiple rejected submissions and tens of thousands of dollars invested in app development, is they don't look at such things as b2b or b2c.
I like Brutalism, and I speculate that one reason is that I grew up in a rural area where things are big, surfaces are rough, and there aren't decorative brickwork patterns everywhere. I live in London now, and the brutalist Barbican estate feels a lot more like "the way the world is" to me than much of "traditional" residential London does. I think that arguments like the one in this article are born from overfamiliarity with pretty little patterns - I find the focus on decoration, "universal" aesthetics, and tradition quite suspicious.

(In particular I'm surprised that the article picks on Alexandra Road estate in London - it's lovely in real life, and it answers a difficult problem as well, namely how to use a road just behind a railway track. Also, while the old Penn Station which the article praises looks kind of amazing in the pics, it's not exactly human scale is it? It'd surely have been just as shivery and daunting in real life as any Soviet edifice)

I had been hoping that the answer to "Why you hate contemporary architecture" would be something about your age. Brutalism has become popular with many people of my age (I'm almost 50) but I don't think it was a widely popular style when it was new. The test for me is going to be postmodernism. I don't really like it, because it's about frivolous decoration, but it's going to be venerated by a younger generation just as Brutalism is by mine. Will I be able to understand that?
Wrong, it originally referred to fabricated political news stories (generally pro-Trump) circulated on social media during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump later co-opted the term to mean any unfavorable news coverage.

Yeah, it's always the same. Either we're five years away from the cure, a magical cure was just discovered, or somebody just "discovered" that keto can cure T1D.
I'm not sure if this would help, but have you considered trying to add Local Business metadata to the site that Google can pick up?

It's possible that it'd overwrite the other business entry, or you might be able to report the business as a duplicate. At the very least, you might end up with both showing up stacked instead of just the one so you might reduce how many people interact with the fraudulent listing.
I will look into this. Thanks!
You’re so clever. That’s a much easier solution than the one they devised, and they get to keep the use of these ancient seals! The only problem is that getting something approved that 5 people need to look at now takes at least 2 and a half days. But hey, at least it doesn’t sound very complicated to you!
The government response was terrible because there wasn’t enough of it. Does that help.
Yep. Exercise is the answer here. Moderate exercise will help your body to produce HDL cholesterol, which aids in removing unhealthy LDL and Triglycerides from your blood stream. According to my doctor, having a higher ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol is far more important number than the total cholesterol level.
I have used Python's NetworkX before, and it was a great experience. It has a neat API, good performance and plenty of graph algorithms implemented.
Shut them down.
And are those precautions during counting and registration open source as well, or are they secret by necessity? I've had not had time to read the source code, if they are in there. If they are open source, could you still briefly explain the gist of the precautions here? If they are secret, can you offer any guarantees to the public that they cannot be circumvented in a way that makes any collected statistics inherently faulty?

I'm sure you've made impressive work with this app, and it surely is beyond my capabilities. But if you have created an app that presents itself as a reliable and secure system but in reality is easily gamed by malicious actors, it might actually hurt democracy instead of helping it. If the app gains any form of notoriety or popularity, it could be fed malicious votes and then be used to sow distrust towards the (real and valid) election results. In such a scenario it would just harm the democratic process. I have yet to see any indications that this is not a real possibility.

Being sure my vote is counted is only half the battle. I also need to be sure that my vote was not drowned out by countless of fake votes. One thing is not worth much without the other.

I would be more forgiving it was more clearly presented as only a prototype or proof-of-concept, but with a mission statement as grand as "VOTEism seeks to fix opinion polls" I feel it deserves more in-depth questions.
But then you can't use it on an e-reader. It remains in the app.
Also, the fact that Apple bothered to use a weird screw is evidence that this represents a substantive barrier to many people. I mean, most people are never going to open their laptop in the first place; of those that would, a large fraction will have standard small screw drivers on hand.
oh, the reason for my answer is that I implicitly assumed that something like `a flow control layer for wireless IP` capable of solving the problem could not exist. Or better I cannot even imagine how it could work.

My understanding is that a important property is that the device does not receive network packets that are not "replies". So that it has control on when it is fine to power down the network (in a very gross simplification)

So maybe something like what you are describing would be a protocol where the client can say "pin me back with this for this category of events but no sooner than X minutes", but at a network level, like a tagged TCP sleep function.

I never thought of this possibility. In the form I have imagined it it is technically inferior, but it would be an interesting approach to decentralization and surely could be improved.
Your second method is more in line with what I had in my mind as what you were getting at, and is pretty much the context of my original reply.

I am sure it’s technically possible going forward, but it would be interesting if such capabilities could be enabled for historical versions of the index and algorithm. Combined with anonymized historical zeitgeist data, some interesting digital archaeology could be attempted.

All the more reason to run your own crawler! What’s the state of the art for this area right now in self hosted solutions? Can you version your index and algorithm like we’re discussing and do these kinds of search-data time-traveling?
> Winamp could have been Spotify but went in a completely different directions

I'm not so sure how successful that really would have been. There is a significant gap between Winamp falling out of favor and the rise of Spotify. The obvious winner in that gap wasn't any streaming service, it was Apple. The gap is basically defined as the period between when the iPod became ubiquitous and when the iPhone became ubiquitous. Granted, there is a few year period between when the iPhone was released and when streaming took over.

Spotify-like streaming services like Rhapsody existed during that gap but they weren't compatible with the iPod and even players they were compatible required a pretty cumbersome process in order to sync and listen offline. I think Rhapsody enjoyed a relatively brief period when smartphones became available and they could stream from there but it was a no-brainer to switch to Spotify once they launched in the U.S.
I'm glad you found a diet that works for you, makes you feel healthier, and has improved you QoL.

But it's not a panacea, and it's certainly not a cure for type 1 diabetes.
I'm a native English speaker who is currently learning German. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING YOUR SPELLING Work GERMANY! Sorry about our mess of BS you have to learn to use English.
I’ve seen a friend diagnosed with type 2 diabetes return his insulin levels to normal through diet, exercise and cutting out alcohol. It just takes more discipline than most people have. Edit: I’m presuming he had T2 because he didn’t get it as a child, but reading this thread I see T1 can be diagnosed as an adult: I did not know that.

Honestly I am trying to have the same discipline myself after seeing the results, because I wish to avoid the harmful effects of a poor diet and get the benefits of a good one. I am not managing to do it yet - and I’m not sure a health scare would motivate me enough either...
I used to think so too, until I tried and bought one of the recent Samsung Tabs. Excellent experience on par with iPad.
What's interesting about the "Obama Phone" was that it was George W. Bush who started the program!
Apple and Google accountants would like to have a word with you in regards to this win-win you're imagining.

If you think these mega-corps haven't done the math and decided it's more profitable to lobby and skim 30% off everyone vs not skim and avoid having to pay lobbyists and lawyers, you are being naive.
It isn't that easy to get a job in IT. It is easy if you have the right background.

I knew a kid who could program reasonably, was pretty smart but didn't go to college. Got "hired" somewhere on help desk, was on a training contract for 3 months (he was just doing normal work, no pay), offered minimum wage job at end, didn't get paid for overtime, and got fired when he wanted to leave work at 6 because he had arranged to meet family for his birthday.

I think many people significantly understate how bad the US job market is for a very significant minority of people.

Also, you are massively overstating how good development is in the Phillippines or India. India churns out masses of CS grads who have never seen a computer. The economics of training are different US/India but the incentive there is the low wage. Remove that low wage incentive, and companies I think there will be investment into US citizens.

(Btw, where I am there are for-profit companies that train ex-army people to do software development...it works pretty well...but no-one asks: why aren't tech companies doing this? Like these companies employ people on very exploitative contracts, why don't companies just do this themselves? There is something wrong with how tech companies are run).
Hugely reducing insulin dosing is still probably valuable, especially for Americans since it's so expensive.
Yep. When I've consciously gone low carb, my insulin requirements have gone down, and my blood sugar was much more manageable. But if I had stopped taking insulin entirely I would have died or ended up in the hospital with DKA.
I’m writing a simple Lisp compiler with Bash at the moment. It’s fun to find all the things you really miss from other languages!
No, the only party I feel exploited by is the US Government, who holds my ability to come and go, and change jobs easily hostage.

Oh, and I have to pay taxes to a government that actively torments me with ever changing requirements and absurdity.

And I don't get to vote or own property on my current Visa.

This is why I push for the opening of offices outside the US in every company I work in.
> This is where I believe these products are focused on, essentially agencies try to get sign-off from clients before they begin work

Agreed that it makes sense for contractual work like this, where you just get sign-off, do the work, maybe iterate a little at the end, and then move on to something completely different. In fact, I would say it's the right tool for the job here, despite how much of a charged term "waterfall" has become.

It can easily fall apart when a single company does this enough though, because it usually comes with the lie that it delivers reusable work. You're not, and it manifests itself through your slow, confusingly inconsistent product. Maybe your customers don't care, but nobody will be proud of their work, and you'll start to gain the reputation of "it's buggy and confusing but it works"
Disclaimer: I'm an immigrant.

There are companies like Cognizant/InfoSys/Tata/... whose business model is based on abusing the H1B system, and that's obviously wrong and I'm quite surprised they get away with it. I'm not defending that.

To those who broadly argue against skilled visas, consider this: Most H1B immigrants are between 20-30 age range. The prime age to join the workforce. Think how much investment you have to make on a child's health care and education to make them into a highly skilled workforce. It would at least cost you 1$M and probably much more. Now all these immigrants have learned your language, passed job interviews, and are competing to come to your country to give you 1$M and help your economy. Why would you not want that? People seem to think that number of jobs is a limited constant and if you stop immigrants that will have a positive effect on the economy. But in reality companies can simply just scale. If they have more workforce they can do more. Things get done faster and they just make more profit. Stopping immigration obviously would dent the economical growth. Never mind that many top tech companies in the US were founded by immigrants or children of immigrants.

To those who say we must invest in local workforce, I wonder why would you have to stop immigration to start investing in local workforce? As if allowing immigration would reduce the amount of money for investment, while in reality immigrants pay taxes. I personally have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes so far. I'd be happy if this money was used to educate the American workforce. However I know that it doesn't. I would like to see that change.
Good thing I am not accusing Hsu of being guilty of the same crimes as the people who he has lent his name to. Those people are racist, Hsu is academically irresponsible.
> What if we don’t have control over the frequency of requests (e.g. using a service like Feedly)? Do those happen often enough that we’d need to host the app ourselves?

I know the wording is a bit vague, and I know that most services don't let you customize this. I added it after I suddenly started receiving tons of traffic caused by, I suspect, a single user. This person was purposefully fetching feeds multiple times a minute.

Anyhow, if you aren't actively trying to abuse the service, you should be good. Some RSS readers have "boost" features to fetch feeds more frequently (often a paid feature).

Once I am able to add some good caching, then I may be able to remove that notice. But right now, the service is kinda overloaded and that is why some of the services (Twitter and Instagram in particular) may give you errors at the moment.
Yes, but any T1D is acutely aware of this fact. The whole treatment regimen is ratioing carbs to insulin.

“ became clear to me that learning how to write a specification was going to be my hardest learn-on-the-job experience yet. Why? Because I was actually having an unlearn-on-the-job experience.”

—> concept of unlearning to progress is really interesting, it seems underrated as a mechanism for how on some becomes a better engineer..

“Back during school, and when I first started working, I used to think that writing specs was a useless exercise. What even was the point? Just design your system in your head, talk it through with others if you need to, and go build it. How could you even know all about your system before you start building it anyway? Any spec you could write would just be incomplete and not good. Writing specs was an unnecessary, bureaucratic task best to be avoided. Time spent on doing “paperwork” would be better used by actually building your product.

The sentiment above is still common in the technology industry, which I think is a shame. After three years in the industry, I have changed my mind, and now believe that a having good specs is critical for making your project a success.”

—> I like this take, it’s a good example of “tradition is a lot smarter than you think”

.. more takes of where tradition in engineering is actually underrated would be really interesting
Sorry but you're just completely factually wrong.

Potatoes, rice and bananas are whole-food, plant based, and are pretty much the highest carb you can go. And plants without starches and sugars simply don't have many calories at all. You can't survive on broccoli alone.

If you're doing low-carb and getting the calories you need, there's no physically possibly way to get those calories except through protein and fat -- they're literally the only other 2 macronutrients.

So yes, low carb always means lots of meat, cheese and/or fat. Or else you'd basically just be fasting.

Your foot hurts when putting weight on it? Solution: never put weight on it again, ever. Your foot is now "cured".

That's how LCHF diets "cure" insulin problems.
Of course the issue is much more complex but as long as the patient cannot go back to eating carbohydrates normally nothing got cured.
Even more problematic is the fact Michael Bloomberg owns it, you know, the guy who stopped journalists that worked for a subsidary of his from doing their job.

I have zero doubt he'll interfere with the normal operation of CityLab to suit his own agendas.
so. this is so general that it’s not helpful. what ranges are we talking about?

also, when people talk about cholesterol they usually don’t mean cholesterol they mean lipi-proteins that carry the cholesterol through the blood (cholesterol needs this as it’s hydrophobic). LDL from those lipo-proteins is definitely correlated with heart disease.

Terrible idea. Upping the salary requirement for H1-B achieves the goal of using it only for highly-skilled workers.
Instead, now employers have to make do with bootcamp grads instead of foreign engineers at lower level positions, hurting businesses.
Not a ton of carb calories in lettuce, kale, spinach, broccoli, etc. They’re mostly composed of insoluble fiber (from which ruminants can extract calories but humans can’t) and water.

A “low carb” diet doesn’t exclude high amounts of insoluble fiber. It excludes high amounts of carbohydrate calories.
Work with enough teams and you start to realize the same types of problems come up everywhere :)

Type 1 and Type 2 are completely different diseases. They present similar symptoms -- which is why they're both called "diabetes" --, but their underlying causes are different.

Many T2 patients can control their blood sugar with diet.

No T1 patients can. It has nothing to do with "discipline", it's an autoimmune disease. It's actually a bit insulting to suggest it's somehow "their own fault."
There is an element of survivorship bias, but the rate of building beautiful buildings is not constant. There’s far fewer beautiful buildings built in the last 75 years than in the years preceding it (try walking into a church built after 1960 for example).

The article points to several casual ideologies in architecture which contribute to this.
