i find it interesting that 'meat' is not written (thus not searchable) in the main article (it's down there in 'key causes of cancer' as icon)

FTA (scroll down):
Colorectal / Bowel : meat 21.1%, obesity 13%, lack-of-fibre 12.2%

it's not surprising meat and lack-of-fibre are correlated (meat contains no fibre)

quit spamming, asshole
I quit for 3 years and went back for a month or two once or twice during that time. While this was happening, I was no longer invited to events my friends (sorry, "friends") went to and no longer knew what they were up to in their lives plus between work and Facebook events, they stopped doing anything spontaneous (such as meeting me for a coffee when I called). These were people I knew for between 5 to 10 years in real life.

I have since recently gone back to Facebook and moved cities (countries) so I'm trying to use it just for events/to my advantage, if such a thing is possible.
It's hit or miss. Once I made a free app that displayed a picture of a cartoon cow and made a "Moooo" sound when you turned the phone upside down. I had a toy like that as a kid. Okay, don't judge me -- but I thought I would be a fun quick idea and any kids (and even some adults) to whom I've shown the prototype loved it. I had an artist draw the cow, and bought rights to a sound I really liked.

The app was rejected twice for having "limited functionality." After I resubmitted it with various tweaks, someone actually called me personally to reject it. They were classy, communicated well, and were very polite, but ...

There are plenty of apps in the store, often in Top 100, that do less, or actually do nothing. My favorite is "traffic light changer" that claims to change traffic lights. Or a "fingerprint scanner." Also, there's "lockify your screen" that claims to give you Android-like screen unlock, and yet just displays a wallpaper with dots. Yes, they all have oodles of 1-star reviews from upset buyers, but they did get approved somehow. It seems like I just got unlucky with reviewers.

Dart is not just "harder" (a difference in degree), it is different in kind: a new programming language with a garbage collector, not a 2D graphics API that's close to one already available if not already in all browsers.

Apple's origination doesn't alter this distinction between the nature of the two things, and Apple played fair once they contributed the work.

Witholding patents when there was no WHATWG patent process or even a legal entity or membership structure was totally expected. The W3C has a patent protocol that Apple has used many times, and the w3c is where canvas has indeed landed as a Royalty-Free standard.

I'm using something else because of external plugin situation for jquery in general.

Where do i attack jquery project? "You point blank used this scenario to dog " WHERE ?

It means you should be extra careful what third party code (beyond jquery maintained projects) you choose.

> "went so far as to say you'd use a more robust one."

Oh so now it's in bad tone to provide alternatives to your favourite framework? Seriously we are not supposed to speak of other software here?

> "You're really going to act like I'm mischaracterizing what you said"

Yes, seriously in my eyes you do exactly that - that's why you got harsh replies. I might have to live with jackass tag, but It is my right to not agree to change my words to something else.

"Steve used to say to me -- and he used to say this a lot -- "Hey Jony, here's a dopey idea."

And sometimes they were. Really dopey. Sometimes they were truly dreadful. But sometimes they took the air from the room and they left us both completely silent. Bold, crazy, magnificent ideas. Or quiet simple ones, which in their subtlety, their detail, they were utterly profound.

And just as Steve loved ideas, and loved making stuff, he treated the process of creativity with a rare and a wonderful reverence. You see, I think he better than anyone understood that while ideas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished."
This is awesome design. Good platform choice and integration.

This is so far into WTF that I can't help being deeply suspicious that it's a deliberate ploy of some sort. I just can't figure out what it would be expected to accomplish.
This is the common misconception....the money doesn't come from the Gov't to the Fed. The Fed prints the money, any sienorage (earnings) it earns on the money it prints and lends is paid back to the Treasury. Also, when the Fed prints new money it either lends to the financial institutions via the discount window or it buys Treasuries directly from the government (i.e. the Fed gives money to the Gov't).

When the Fed lent money to the banks via the discount window, they did that to shore up the capital bases of the various financial institutions. The Treasury never paid for it....matter of fact, the argument can be made that if inflation runs away like doomsayers have been predicting since QE1, the Treasury will benefit - because inflation is simply a tax on the poor.

But, inflation has been subdued, despite constant harranging from doomsayers, and growth has been tepid. The Fed took on over $2T onto it's balance sheet because it is the only organization in the world that can. It wasn't up from $500M, it was up from $500B. You were off by only a factor of 1,000. So it only swelled 4X....considering that the price of not doing that would have been a great depression that made the depression of the 40s look like a mild recession, I would say it's worth every penny.

Also, the reason public debt has expanded is because of the borrowing the government has had to do to finance things like increased unemployment insurance, increased medicare/medicaid claims and tax cuts for everybody.

Also, because interest rates have been at all-time lows...i.e. most investors still see US Treasuries as the safest asset around (comparatively speaking).
That's great that Facebook "opened your eyes" in a seemingly healthy way. Seriously.

The world was full of ways to compare ourselves with others before social media came around. It isn't going away. Facebook is just the latest iteration, and also happens to be the most surface-level, un-holistic, and competitive channel yet conceived for this kind of behavior.

Once people get competitive about "happiness" and "self esteem", there's a way that they lose sight of the original "goal" in the attempt to outdo each other.

We should all explore the different available paths in life and strive to gain from others' perspective and experience, but the Facebook news feed is not a particularly good way to do it.
> Sorry, if I'm unimpressed it doesn't look like effort, it looks like a PR campaign.

I think you're both right and wrong that it's a PR campaign. It can be both. Something positive, and something done for political benefit. The context is that it's very hard to get a bill passed in Congress right now unless both parties support it, and the Republicans have repeatedly blocked efforts to do things that help middle/working class folks, or help the the most serious environmental problems, etc. unless there's also kickback to the richest Americans and their favored industries (oil, military, etc.), or at least doesn't have anything that drops tax cuts or closes loopholes for them. They've opposed extended unemployment checks, for example. They've brought the nation to the very brink of default on it's debts, on an issue which historically is a routine ceremony of raising the "ceiling". That brinkmanship alone scares people, raises fiscal and market uncertainty and has a negative effect on spending -- this is beyond obvious to economists, a no-brainer. They opposed extending payroll tax cuts which disproportionately help middle/lower income class folks, and that most economists will tell you have a positive economic stimulus effect. Trying to pass anything in Congress gets turned into a political point scoring match, regardless of the actual objective merit or wisdom of it's benefits. In that context, it's much easier for a President to figure out which things they can do, just within the power of the Executive branch, to do something positive, however far from ideal it might be.

> A month ago Obama announced a plan to allow college graduates to cap federal student loan repayments at 10 percent of discretionary income starting in January, two years before the cap was due to take effect under federal law.

Explain to me why this is a good thing for entrepreneurship. It seems to leave students free to party for a few years and rack up loans for degrees of dubious market value.

And leave the taxpayer (read: responsible students and entrepreneurs) with the bill.
I think it’s a little bit insightful in that it highlights how not-fun procrastination is, even while we’re doing it (“Procrastination is the worst feeling ever”). A reminder of that feeling, which we often forget when we desire to procrastinate, can give people a little extra motivation to avoid procrastination.
This is the same strategy Android device makers use to compete with the Apple. Fill the shelves with crap and plenty of people will never see the good stuff.
agreed. well, somewhat. funding for software-centric startups is fairly easy right now. large capital/infrastructure-requiring startups is harder, and for mom-and-pop businesses it can be harder (though crowdfunding is shifting that, it appears.)

making it easier for highly-skilled, rule-following foreigners (cough-Mexico-cough) to immigrate in and start at or work at US based startups, would be an easy win. And fixing the patent system. And defending the Internet from attack by big corporate interests. All would move the needle more than just making a little more money available for yet another shallow frothy "me too" web startup.

I got a friend on FB that works in Brussels but literally every weekend he's off to some exotic destination.
So everyday I either see a checkin from god knows where, or if he's not there yet, there's always a status "Next weekend, I will be in <exotic destination>"

I wonder if he'd be still doing this if there was no Facebook.

The only reason I keep Facebook is because it's easy to contact people when I need to get a hold of someone that I met five years ago while traveling or something.

But even so, I'm beginning to question the logic behind having a million acquaintances "just in case"

My close friends are on Skype anyway, so FB seems to have less meaning with each passing day.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm on the same version of google+ that other complaining people get.

Personally g+ became a great replacement for twitter/facebook interaction about thing I care about. I like sharing ideas - and g+ seems to be perfect platform for that - be it politics, music, photography or computer science. It's by far the best community related network out there (or at least with potential to get there fast) in my opinion.

So yeah it's kind of a pity there is only a fraction of my fb "friends" there, but you know what, i don't miss facebook - i'm not using it, same with twitter. G+ is just something else, and it might stay this way. But I would be the last to complain to be honest.
Check out the excellent book "Procrastination: Why You Do It, What to Do About It Now" by Burka and Yuen. I discovered it via a HN comment and figure I should repay the favor.
Couldn't agree more. It definitely is a 'populist' trend to bash TARP and 'bailing out Wall Street', and while I do agree that the 15% capital gains tax needs to be raised (along with closing various loopholes that financiers and oil companies use to pay lower taxes), that oft-repeated position doesn't hold water.

It's infuriating because people don't understand when the gov't actually acts in their best interest - even if it doesn't seem like that.

As you so rightly pointed out, without TARP and the actions of the Fed, we would probably be in WW3 right now. People just don't get that.

Btw, this is partisan politics aside - because both Geithner and Paulson did a fabulous job at handling the worst crisis their generations have ever seen.

there is trend in the 'key cause of cancer' down in the article, throat and colon cancer follow power distribution, while breat cancer kinda follows uniform dist

for breast cancer: the highest offender = obesity is 8.7%, only a multiple of two to the mean <4%

to me it only means that the cause of throat and colon cancer is relatively known (smoke and meat) while it's gray area for breast cancer

smoke -> throat kinda makes sense
meat -> bowel? (turns out meat contains no fiber, and lack of fiber accounts for 12.2% so lumping meat and lack of fiber equal a whopping 33.3%) ... makes sense?
Wow, someone at HP has balls. Very impressive.
"Agilistas like to pretend that if you're doing waterfall you can't ever go back to the previous step."

The Agilistas are correct.

The reason for this is that Waterfall was constructed deliberately as a strawman. The very point of constructing Waterfall was to draw a distinction between the process as it was being presented to the VP, or in this case as it is presented to the customer, and the fact that in practice it doesn't work at all and therefore it could not have been what actually happened. Therefore, given that it isn't a possible process anyhow, we should embrace an iterative approach, because ultimately there's no alternative. We should face up to the truth and thereby learn to take proper advantage of it, instead of sneaking it in the back door, hiding it in shame, and deliberately doing stupid things that can't work because management thinks it makes them happy. And in this case, there's no possible way that that is an accurate description of what happens in any significant project that company undertakes.

If you don't understand that Waterfall is not and never was a "real" methodology and don't grasp the history, which it seems still almost nobody does, then you don't really get what's going on. And attempting to rehabilitate Waterfall into a real or viable methodology is metacontrarianism [1] run amok. There's no point in performing CPR on a scarecrow.

Finding "smart nerds" really won't work.

First of all, quite a few of them will be disliking you for using a derogatory term. If you've got a tech person looking for a "PR flak" or a "business suit", you'd be offended too. Try treating people you want to partner with as human beings. I hear it helps.

Second, take a look at what value _you_ bring to the table. If your idea is indeed worthless, why would anybody sign up to work with you? It's perfectly fine if your answer is e.g. "my Rolodex". The point is, know your strengths. Find people who complete you. A truly brilliant idea with a strong vision _is_ worth something. It's worth nothing by itself, but the same holds true for technical brilliance. Or a great Rolodex. Or insane sales skills. You'll need _all_ of that to succeed, and a huge dose of luck. The one difference between the idea and the others is that an idea loses value over time, so you've got to bring more than an idea.

If your answer however is "I don't bring much to the table, except an idea", you're in trouble. You shouldn't worry about finding smart people who can help you, you should think about clarifying what it is you can contribute _after_ that first meeting.
The same can also be same of this forum, and Techcrunch when we hear news about other startups getting acquired "easily".

It's easy to get depressed when you hear a startup like Hunch(seriously, eBay was a knight on a white horse, they got off easy) getting acquired for $80 million when you've worked your ass off on an idea or 2 for the last 5 years with little to show for it.

Sometimes it's better to just ignore positive news. It's hard to not get jealous.
The real problem here is Youtube who refuses to take counter-notice seriously. It's been many years and they still can't figure out that simple bit "counternotice filed".

This whole article just comes off as tech hipsterism to me. It's like being nostalgic for cassette tapes and conveniently forgetting how bad they sounded, how quickly they wore out, or how often a tape deck would ruin them for you. Put BeOS, NeXT or Windows Clasisc side-by-side with Windows 7 or OSX and let people choose which one they prefer. My guess is the vast majority will opt for the more modern, condescending, GUIs because they look nicer and are easier to use. The author should probably check out GNUStep or blackbox if he wants something less mainstream. Is CDE still available?

You are correct, but large companies get dramatically better rates and better coverage than small companies. My family's small business has seen healthcare premiums increase more than 20% each year for the past few years. We have had to cut benefits (increase deductibles and copays, etc). It's a sad state of affairs that employees of large companies are insulated from (for now).
