It's a reference to the way in the UK "hardworking families" as complaining about losing some tax benefit when they have 3x4 times the median income.

Of course this is paid for by taxing single people (and potentialy pensioners with large houses) and screwing sevely disabled peopels benefits - Including forcing Termanaly ill cancer patients to work for free for large supermatkets.
I hit F12 in Chromium, dev tools open with the tree, knowing that I'm viewing the DOM and not the source I hit the Resources tab, and there is the source.

Not a problem at all.

In fact, I had to remember to go back to right clicking and View Source to try and figure out why this was so highly ranked and lots of the comments confused me.

Now I see why... but just like using JavaScript to try and detect right click, using replace state to try and obscure the source isn't likely to be effective in any reasonable way. I guess that's not the point, that this is more fun than anything someone will do, except... I bet someone does it on their live site.
Large numbers of people have home, food and health care as a basic right (e.g. all inhabitants of the UK and also I assume many other countries).

I think the major problems are:

- People like nicer food/nicer homes. Some (most?) of this is social signalling, some not. Some of the signalling issues could perhaps be addressed by raising the level of the basic provision, I'm unsure. (Basically, there will always be scarcity of some things and they can be used for signalling).

- Advanced human interaction/daily interest. For many/most people, working from home is in some ways less satisfying than working in an office environment (it may be better in other ways). I mean lack of social interaction in etc. Similarly full time mothers/fathers bemoan the lack of grown up contact/use of their higher mental faculties etc.

Lots of the issues are fixable with culture changes, but I suspect we'd need to be closer to full abundance before we could make much progress there.
Why do you feel that? From the Go FAQ, which now I feel obliged to at least read in its entirety because of how much heat this post has stirred:

"Why does Go not have generic types?

Generics may well be added at some point. We don't feel an urgency for them, although we understand some programmers do.

We haven't yet found a design that gives value proportionate to the complexity, although we continue to think about it. Meanwhile, Go's built-in [functionality] mean in many cases it is possible to write code that does what generics would enable, if less smoothly.

This remains an open issue."

Clearly the designers of Go consider generics a topic worthy of debate.
Unfortunately Go still lacks generics, something that will hinder it from being widely accepted from the Java/C# crowd, for good reason. There are some good arguments to be made for why Go's error handling is subpar as well that I think could disqualify it for a lot of people.

How is better than 'D' for example.

One thing I really like in Go is how small the language is.
Wasn't me (I can't downvote) but I have had a similar experience in the Go thread so I share your frustration. This is the reason I stopped visiting Reddit.
Actually there was a reduction in all-cause mortality. It's just that the study's design was such that the reduction could possibly have been due to chance. This is not at all the same thing as "finding no ... benefit".

This lack of statistical significance is probably mainly due to the small size of the study (160 men).

Note that the reduction in death rates from prostate cancer was large in practical terms and (statistically) significant.

Prostate cancer kills a minority of men. Take this fact, add in the fact the study was small, and then throw in all other causes of death (which vary randomly) then it is not at all surprising that the result was not statistically significant. This is mainly due to a small study and noise from other causes of death.

I for one am going to keep having my PSA tests.
Actually, it's rather 'easy' to jam DSSS/CDMA signals - Especially for nation states. There are a variety of techniques and tools that can be used.

I think you see more solar in Germany because of the giant subsidies there.
Having said that, the state of Prostate Cancer treatment and the lack of research into Prostate Cancer is a disgrace.

Prostate cancer kills similar numbers to breast cancer yet gets half the research funding. Thank goodness we live in a patriarchal society or the ratio would be even more in women's favor.

I have watched two male relatives die of Prostate Cancer and it is not a good way to go.

The reason, generally, you are charged more for heavier luggage has got nothing to do with jet fuel consumption and everything to do with higher baggage handling fees. Since handlers don't actually have to carry obese people (that's a job for the person's legs), it makes complete sense to charge for heavier luggage rather than heavier people.
It's not about rewarding you for being healthy, it's about charging people for the resources (eg, jet fuel) which they consume. Whether your weight is from fat or muscles, you are costing the airline more than the 75kg person next to you.

Trying to understand how to factor in "fairness" here.

The fact is that irrespective of body content (ie fat or muscle), what counts for the economics of the airline is the total weight. Heavier the passengers and the luggage, more fuel is burnt, and the costs correspondingly go up.

I agree with you, however, that the 75 kg choice is pretty arbitrary. I wonder, though, if tickets online can be initially issued at price ex "weight-rate". Everyone would then stand with their luggage on the scales, and pay $k for every kilo (without any limit, per se). To me, that seems more "fair" without setting arbitrary limits that might carry discriminatory or racist overtones.
I do not think the actual different is much unless the person is really overweight or underweight. And because of so much additional investment in to infrastructure and training required, it is pretty stupid to actually implement the idea.

That said, it will be bad argument to say that it will punish the people for more weight, because at current price they are actually punishing underweighted and have them pay for the overweighted. ( poor fellas, they are underweighted and have to pay for it too. )

> Read Dark Shikari's blog posts about x264 if you want to see how much good use of SSE matters for video encoding.

Like http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/486? "Now that I’ve written a thousand or two lines of assembly code..." etc. Programmers who know and care about these processor-level micro-optimizations use assembly code, for which by definition you do not need a compiler.

Then again if you really care about graphics performance, you're using a GPU in which case there is no compiler since the driver is just an opaque binary blob.

Except those laws won't do anything to prevent abuse. It's the same as with tracking data, really: the only way to prevent abuse is if there is no data to be abused in the first place. You're severely deluded if you think laws will prevent the abuse of this data, much less discrimination based on it.

On the bright side, waiting for the Haskell compiler to grind away means you have plenty of time to read up on Go.
interesting bug where a new user who is downvoted no longer shows up as green.
Go has utility called CGo that allows you to create interfaces to C libraries in Go. I've heard you can use some magic to get Go to talk to C++ by exporting functions back to C somehow (disclaimer: I'm not a C/C++ person).
Given all the languages you already programmed with, and given that the Go specification is relatively short (approximately the same as Scheme), maybe you overestimate the efforts it would require to learn it. But you don't need to, that's all fine.
I use a SIMBL extension to bring OS X 10.6's colorful Finder sidebar icons to 10.7. I have always been meaning to improve its source code because it simply scales the large versions down.

The difference is irritating and clearly noticeable for e.g. the "Documents" icon if you compare it to the "Go" menu. And it's not because the big versions are bitmaps, it was mostly the missing outline and lack of contrast.

(I still find them much faster than the monochrome versions (and with a smile) :))

The Finder's "Go" menu is really a good example of tiny, clear icons.

On the one hand, this makes me very sad - I'd much rather live in a world where patent-free, unencumbered video codecs are the only ones worth dealing with, and I'd like to support efforts toward that goal.

On the other hand, I have Flash and the full suite of proprietary codecs installed on my Ubuntu machine for practical reasons, so I can't really be angry at Mozilla for conforming to the same trends.

SCCS: the Posix standard Source Code Control System
Good point - could be. But again, I think we need to be careful not to say that this is occuring because of their gender. I know of a lot of friends who are actually very good at IT, but who have a broader view of society, art and literature. Many of these friends are male :-)

One thing it may be is that the hiring policies dictated that the people she works with a very focused on IT only and don't have a broader view of the outside world. I would argue that's a problem in the company she works in - after all there are moments in IT where a great idea froms from outside computing. The best example I can think of is Design Patterns, which came from architecture.

There is a lot of evidence that obesity is not hereditary/predetermined, but is a choice (or a consequence of a weak mind/bad incentives).

I was in Vietnam 5 years ago. I didn't see any fat people. Look at photos/documentaries of Africa. No fat people.

To take it to the extreme, there were no fat people in Auschwitz. That is not to say that it was good in any way and that people should starve, but just that it is not impossible to be normal for anyone, you just have to try.
Google and Matt Cutts, in general, have a larger problem. Cutts never acknowledges that Google works primarily on the language, which is one of the most complex things the human race has ever come up to.
And though language is always at stake in Google search, I don't see any serious semiotic study in whatever they make.

And, apart from that, Google totally sucks on languages that are different than English. They think of a new thing for the English based search and then they'll just propagate it everywhere with no substantial modifications whatsoever.

I've got many sites under me, all writing original content. They're not gonna win the Pulitzer, of course, but at least they're edited, accurately followed by teams of human authors that won't even copy PR as a measure to prevent non original contents to appear on the sites. Although all of these things, we got seriously pandalized.

The results where we once used to stay atop are filled in many occasions by scraper-sites who steal our contents and rank 2 or 3, sometimes up to 5, positions above us on the SERP. I can't even count the times I filled the anti-scraping form anymore. That's not enough, because many times popular sites rank higher than us just because they're pretty popular, although their contents are horribly written, short, totally uninformative.

That happens all the time. You know where we still go pretty strong? On Google News, where the human intervention sometimes really applies.

Google should see what's going on everywhere and their insistence on having matt cutts as its only public voice on this huge issue is becoming really frustrating.

He ends up looking like a fake good guy, perpetrating the hypocrisy of a corporation too big and too convinced they have the ability to solve all the hyper-complex search problems, laden with human generated unpredictability and the natural human tension towards deception, just with pretty algorithms.

Science is the only news [videos]
CueCat?
Heh I think you inadvertently proved my point. I spent 6 months with Scheme, working through half of the SICP for personal growth. Just because the specification is simple it doesn't mean the patterns and lessons are straightforward, and I'm a pretty slow learner. If you read the Go FAQ you will note that about 1/3 of it is along the lines of "Why doesn't Go...". When I see that sort of language it's clear that between the lines there's a lot to learn, and the only way for me to learn a language is to write code.

But after all of this I think I'm going to have to write one of my site-specific crawlers in Go for fun; since Go has a STOMP binding it should be easy to integrate into my existing architecture. Where things will get interesting is finding a compatible serialization library (and so we start getting into the real world problems of using a new language to solve interesting problems... hopefully one of the .NET protocol buffer implementations will work correctly with the one I imagine exists for Go).
He would probably decry the lack of slave labor.
A tip: if you have say 4 cores, then using 4000 threads will most likely be slow due to lots of context switches. I say most likely because it depends on the details, but it's a safe guess.
Ask HN:  New e-commerce trends?
Hello everyone,

right now I'm fiddling with a new e-commerce idea ( marketplace to promote young designers in Europe ) with one of my friend and I'm currently looking for new trends in e-commerce?

I've noticed a trend such as the "Birchbox concept" but it's not very applicable to us.

Any idea of website we could get inspiration from?

Cheers,

The point you're missing is that taking money from Apple takes money from plenty of people who are not wealthy.

If you want to tax redistributively, you should tax the people who actually have the money, not companies. If the company mostly belongs to the "uber wealthy", then they'll get taxed anyway. If it's mostly in the hands of grannies of modest means with a few shares each, then they won't, which is a lot fairer.

I am still not finished with the talk, but the description don't do it justice. The presentation text's tone is off, stereotyped, it's just plain wrong.

Now, the talk is more sensible and balanced. I wouldn't say it's brilliant or brings much new ideas on the table, it's really about describing different points of view and different approaches to graceful degradation.

My main grief would be to have an audio feed of a presentation commenting live site and tools demos. Obviously video would be appropriate.

Elon Musk is certainly to be commended but when you talk about him challenging government monopolies, it should be mentioned that the government helped him out quite a bit too. Tesla was bailed out with government loans. AFAIK even his rocket business benefited from government orders, although I think he had to sue the government to get their orders.

> I don't think 75KG is a good standard weight.

I'm sure that can be discussed, focusing on this detracts from the article's main point.

> I mean, what about people who are muscular?

They're completely irrelevant, this is not about people being healthy versus not healthy, this is about weight being a direct driver of costs for airlines.

> So should people who are muscular be exempt?

No, why should they be>

> Do we do it based on height vs muscle or body fat percentage?

No, "we do it" based on weight.

> Unless we consider this, there's no way to do it fairly

How's it not fair to say "baseline of Xkg total (person + baggages), surcharge is Y/kg extra"?

It is funny how this topic comes up every month. I guess it's because we somehow want them to add value, but at this stage they don't.
I agree, I absolute don't care about the thinness of my phone (within reason). It wouldn't bother me in the least if my phone was say...an inch thick. I would probably actually enjoy the heft of such a device. When I'm holding it as a phone or using it as a portable computer, there's a huge gap between the back of the phone and my hand. If I'm holding it horizontal and playing games on it, it's already too thin to hold comfortably.

Now my tablet...I think it could be lighter since the use cases for it are very different.
