From the submitted article: "In later Internet research, I found several articles suggesting that—for unknown reasons—bipolar II is one of the most lethal of mental conditions, possibly more lethal than major unipolar depression and even bipolar I, with a suicide rate estimated up to 20%. (One Medscape article, for example: 'bipolar II depression. . . carries the highest suicide risk among all subtypes of major mood disorders.')"

This is some of the most important information in the article. Just before the quoted paragraph, the author notes that it is unusual for people in the hypomanic phase or manic phase of a mood disorder to seek treatment, because most people in that mode state feel great. Treatments vary for mood disorders between those with manic and hypomanic phases and those without, because of course many treatments that elevate mood can cause vulnerable persons to switch into hypomania or even mania from depression.

It's a bit early (over the course of the author's lifetime, and in terms of the number of patients who have tried to apply his advice) to conclude that what he thinks helped him function better would work for a lot of other patients. He sometimes concedes that, in his own words in his article, but seems to end with a flourish and announcement that he has found a general answer. Anyone dealing with this issue would be well advised to do what the author advised in one part of his article and check with an experienced M.D. before figuring that self-treatment will do the whole job.

I first read about the Curta in a Scientific American article by Cliff Stole (see scans here: http://www.leighbureau.com/speakers/CStoll/essays/Calculator... )

I am awed and inspired by this story. It helps me understand why people think a work of art is worth more if there is a story behind it. I'd love one as art for my desk (if they weren't so expensive).

If the ultimate goal of an institution is to maximize the alumni donation revenue, then attracting the top 5% of the type A's might be an effective strategy. But then again, the most successful might not be the type A's or even smart (see Terman's Kids)

"How to game the U.S. Higher Ed system"

> In this article, I want to debunk a popular myth: the popular conception that very smart high school students should go to very good and very expensive colleges, and that these colleges will advance these peoples' careers more effectively than would other options. I propose another option: go to a cheap state school for a small amount of money, do very well, and pay full tuition at a fantastic graduate program. I believe that in most cases, these students would be better served by a bare-budget (but difficult) undergrad state-school education, and an expensive high-profile Master's degree.

May be it's the article's particular spin, but the tax doesn't sound very well thought out. This is just a form of moral legislation similar to prohibition of alcohol and enforcement of religious standards (i.e., blue laws). The article also brings up the fact that this tax will hurt Danish companies because exports will be less exposed to this tax than local products.
The competition for places in the upper tier of higher education is a lot tougher than it was in the 1960s and ’70s, when having good grades and SAT scores in the high 1200s was generally sufficient to get you into a respectable college.

Just a note about the SATs: The SATs used to be out of 1600 with Math/Verbal as a 800/800 split. Critical Reading wasn't added until 2005. There was also an adjustment in 1995 that boosted the mean score on the SAT about 100 points, effectively making tests taken before 1995 worth more than tests taken after.

"if (my_var != null)" Throws a reference error if my_var is not defined. By checking the typeof it will short-circuit before throwing the error. It is accepted enough to be the default coffeescript implementation of "?" (the existential operator).

The OPs point wasn't that you couldn't write faster code with non-blocking I/O. His point was that just having non-blocking I/O isn't always going to make things faster. Sure, most applications get lucky and have faster implementations, but it is important to understand what is happening behind the scenes in order to avoid hanging yourself. He thinks the Node.js community has not emphasized that understanding at all and the hype around Node.js is leading to badly written applications.
Yeah. It's also possible, and indeed true, that Facebook is lying through its teeth, aggressively tracking now while claiming not to, introducing ever-more-pervasive and invasive tracking without notifying users or giving them an informed choice in the matter, thus forcibly paving the way for the future that will place them in the most powerful position.

Let's be real. Facebook has not "placed a long-term bet"; they are actively engineering that reality right now, despite loud and frequent objections from users.

> "The iPhone is also a subsidized product and it seems very successful. How come it won? The answer is in details."

One of the other relevant details is that any subsidies that are provided are done so by the wireless carriers, not Apple. Apple gets paid in full for each iOS device sold, either by the carrier (iPhones), or by the customer direct (the other iOS devices). By being immediately profitable on each iOS device, Apple has no "subsidy variables" to factor into its profitability -v- product lifecycle calculations.

I don't think most software is particularly slow or bloated. It's been quite some time since I thought to myself, "gee, this software could do with being a lot faster", outside of games and video transcoders (and perhaps iTunes on Windows). On the other hand, a lot of software has buffer overflow vulnerabilities; I see a lot of crashes when input data is fuzzed or corrupted slightly.
The point about angle of escape was really interesting. However, my google fu failed me. The only relevant link mentioning angle of escape leads back to this post. Is there someone who can give me more information about this? (Or a more technical term, if the author uses the term colloquially).

I feel like any regular SEO advice book has most of the steps of the claims of this patent.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving a document containing content for distribution via one or more online media distribution channels;

You write a web page

analyzing a structure of the document; determining optimal modifications to the structure of the document;

You should put your navigation after your content

analyzing keyword frequency and keyword positions in the content of the document, the keyword frequency and keyword positions being analyzed relative to historical data obtained from one or more of the online media distribution channels;

Here are some buzzwords that have been picked up by search engines in the past ("keyword frequency," "historical data"). Search engines pick them up when they are in the meta tags ("keyword positions").

determining optimum modifications to the keywords in the content of the document based on the structured document;

Thus, you should put those keywords in the meta tags.

displaying recommended structural changes to the document based on the structured document modification and recommended keyword modifications to the content in the document to a user in a graphical user interface;

This is just automation of what an SEO book teaches. It is well-established that automation of a known process is obvious.

receiving input from the user adopting one or more of the structural changes or the keyword modifications to the content; and initiating distribution of the document via one or more of the online media distribution channels.

You modify your web page and put it online.

I think the interesting thing in the looming Amazon/Apple battle is their approach to the app store. Apple considers themselves a hardware company, and sees the marketplace portion to be a loss-leader.

Amazon doesn't care about the hardware side of the business-- they see the device as a catalog-- perhaps a bigger gateway to commerce and intent than Google.com ever was. Making profit on hardware is like Google charging users to do searches-- there are much more elegant ways to make money with mobile devices than simply charging for hardware.
Just to be clear I dont think giving FU money to the founders and nothing to the employees is fair. But something of the order of 500K to 1million for the founder I think is fair. Ie a small nest egg but not nearly enough to be financially secure.

The founder in all ways owes his company to the employees and everyone who has helped him and any big upside MUST be shared.
I know from your introduction that EditFlow is most likely a plug-in, but what does it do? What is it for?

I don't understand that at all. What is a "post status"?

> Since then, it’s grown to have quite a number of
> new features and is still in active development!

Don't care - what does it do?

> The idea for EditFlow came from (now closed)
> not-for-profit company CoPress, ...

Don't care - what does it do?

> ... who aimed to help the student press write
> online using WordPress as opposed to paying
> for a bespoke CMS.

Don't care - what does it do?

With regards the level of detail, you need some sort of hierarchy so if I get to the point of not caring about the level you've got to I can skip ahead to your next major point. Newspaper articles are written so they gradually increase in detail. In that way no matter where you stop, all you're missing is more detail.

If you want to tell two stories you need a way of skipping ahead. I'd much rather see a brief overview with links to pages giving more detail. Your click-through rate will then tell you how engaging you've been in the story you tell.

With regards narrative, it feels like you're giving an unmotivated list of "stuff." I, the reader, need to do the work of deciding what's relevant and what's not. You could consider presenting the problems being solved, rather than the features present. As with most technology people, you're focussing on the technology and what it does, rather than concentrating on my problems, and how the plug-in will solve them.

Finally, you writing remains littered with small typos. I know that you - as most - don't spend as much care on quick comments, but personally, I feel that you should work to remove them from all your writings. Making it a habit will mean that you won't need to work as hard when it actually matters. Example in point:

> Do you think I needed to give
> it more an introduction?

Hope that helps - I'm impressed by the positive tone in your responses.

Cheers!
Like communism, it sounds good on paper, but not in reality. Huge taxes creates a generation of people that depend on the system to survive. Over time, the system will eventually collapse because there aren't enough people putting money back into the system.

It also means the government has more control over you. The more money they take, the less freedom you have over your own money. You are also supporting a government monopoly. I'm surprised that all of the people that are against monopolies like Microsoft are fine with the same thing happening with the government.

I also don't see very many startups coming out of Denmark. Why is that?

We still need government controls and taxes, just not to the levels of Denmark.
"Node is easy for one guy to setup a working website. Isn't that a good thing?"

Having not played with production Node.js, I'm no expert. But the impression I get from the post is not that. Aside from his attack on javascript syntax (which I agree with, but can be fixed by using coffeescript) his real statement is that perceived simplicity leads to problems. If node is easy for one guy to set up a working website, did we just enable one more badly written and unstable website? We've seen countless examples of bad websites getting hacked and personal information being exposed. As a person browsing the web, I have no way of knowing whether a site is run behind nginx or directly from node. If I give them personal information, I sure hope it's behind nginx. I trust nginx to be more mature and secure than node. But if a new programmer isn't told up front that running directly from node is a bad idea, my overall browsing experience just got a littler riskier.

Coming from an on and off user of ubuntu since Breezy Badger, I'm fine with Unity (especially after getting used to Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts). There are parts of Unity that I completely dislike (e.g. overlay scrollbar being enabled by default), but they're just minor annoyances.

The thing that I'm worried about though, similar to what you're pointing out, is that it feels like they're not making Ubuntu for the previous users of Ubuntu anymore. I still run 11.10 with Unity, but it's getting to a point where I'm noticing an increase of time where I am turning off a bunch of annoying things that Ubuntu have added over time.

I have XFCE on all my other machines that need a desktop environment and it looks like this sole Ubuntu machine will head that way soon.

Is your belief in 'diminishing marginal utility of income' your real argument?

The diminishing marginal utility of income is an assumption. In most cases it's a valid assumption, but not always.

Let's say I could show you a situation where a certain individual's marginal utility of income increased with income - for a portion of the utility curve, the curve is convex, not concave. Such situations aren't typical, but they do exist - 'diminishing marginal utility' isn't a law of nature, it's just an assumption.

In such a situation, maximizing utility means certain less well-off people (those on the concave portion of the utility curve) should be subsidizing the more well-off people (those on the convex portion of the utility curve).

In other words, if the goal of taxation is simply to increase utility, in those situations the poor should be subsidizing the rich. If I can show you that for me, each additional dollar has increased utility, you should be willing to concede that that the poor should be subsidizing me.

Yet I've never met a person who used the 'diminished marginal utility of income' argument who was willing to concede that. If you are, you'll be the first.

In other words, arguing diminishing marginal utility's usually just a time-wasting distraction. While it sounds good, I suspect it's not the reason for your argument all.
That's the problem. The GIS market is too broad. The ESRI products ate inaccessible to most people. They cost too much, and are too difficult to use. Precisely because they are targeting professional cartographers.

Raster algebra isn't something normal people need.

I don't want to create a product for highly trained cartographers. I want to create a product for me (someone who wants to create simple information graphics).

It sounds like Facebook Connect/open graph, where you can Like something on a third party domain, or read something, etc. Is it just saying "You will now have an activity feed for all your likes, etc on third party websites on your timeline"? The 9/22 F8 date seems to suggest that.

But HN is a lot more skeptical than I am. Are you just worried that it may mean different things in the future? What's the deal?

It also sounds like "Don't try this, Google. It's my turf"

This would be a real argument if the government's only function was to protect stuff from the state of nature, if the costs of protecting stuff were linear, and if the only alternative to the current way of doing things was a 'Mad Max world'.

However, none of these are true.
To apply your first point to your second paragraph: Unity is not Ubuntu. Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and roll your own systems based on the boxes (Openbox, Fluxbox) abound.

I use Xubuntu on my netbook as my students can work out how to get a wordprocessor going or load a youtube video in class.

On the desktop pc I use dwm (large widescreen monitor) and I'm loving the efficiency. In fact, I install dmenu on all the computers and bind it to Super-Space.
Guess what! You agree with Ted then. One of the big problems he mentions is the apparently simplicity of an event driven app.

"Because nothing blocks, less-than-expert programmers are able to develop fast systems."

That's bit he has a problem with. From your post:

"If a programmer doesn't know how his tools work well enough to foresee any potential gotchas and take steps to avoid them, that's a fault in the programmer rather than the tools."

Both of you are saying that a programmer needs to know his tools well. Ted says that Node.js doesn't encourage people to understand the limitations of an event driven framework well enough.

All you good programmers out there: Keep using Node.js. It is a great tool and does things well. But don't pretend that it's the snake oil to make everything faster. The design decisions YOU make have the most impact on the speed of your application.
