Data Preparation and Analysis Preparing Data
Once all of the participants have completed the study measures and all of the data has been collected, the researcher must prepare the data to be analyzed. Organizing the data correctly can save a lot of time and prevent mistakes. Most researchers choose to use a database or statistical analysis program (Microsoft Excel, SPSS) that they can format to fit their needs in order to organize their data effectively. A good researcher enters all of the data in the same format and in the same database, as doing otherwise might lead to confusion and difficulty with the statistical analysis later on. Once the data has been entered, it is crucial that the researcher check the data for accuracy. This can be accomplished by spot-checking a random assortment of participant data groups, but this method is not as effective as re-entering the data a second time and searching for discrepancies. This method is particularly easy to do when using numerical data because the researcher can simply use the database program to sum the columns of the spreadsheet and then look for differences in the totals. Perhaps the best method of accuracy checking is to use a specialized computer program that cross-checks double-entered data for discrepancies (as this method is free from error), though these programs can be hard to come by and may require extra training to use correctly.

I am 198cm high, but weight increases with the square of height (or something like that, can't recall exactly) - it's not linear. It's why it's not rare for a person of 5' height to weigh nearly half that of a person of 6' height.

I also have a fairly broad frame - skinny/narrow guys my height don't have the same weight issues. If I'm at 100kg, I look a little emaciated and at 95kg my gut is concave and you can count ribs - I know this because I had a nervous breakdown in my youth and these were the weights I hit these points at.

It's also one of the reasons I hate people applying the BMI to individuals - it's meant to describe populations, not individuals, despite popular misuse... but I should leave that hobby horse in the stable.
Perfect, I wasn't even aware there was a font for this purpose!

I don't see the point in QR codes, I have never seen an every day use for them and it makes me slightly angry that they have been adopted so heavily.

I do take into account people have found a use for them in niche situations. It just seems these ugly black barcodes could have been avoided by legible OCR fonts with a decent OCR scanner built into the phone. Everyone's happy!
Richard Feynman, for me, is the clearest counterexample to this essay. In his prime, he was one of the top physicists in the field, having some of the best ideas, and he was still a captivating speaker who could convey complex ideas in an interesting and informative way.

If productivity rises to an absurd degree, I think it makes sense to start having a citizen's wage / minimum guaranteed income: http://www.xamuel.com/ten-reasons-for-guaranteed-minimum-inc...

Sure, a lot of people might just become layabouts doing nothing. But are they really doing much right now, by enduring crappy jobs that add marginal value?

Other people might unlock vast reservoirs of creativity which would bring great positive externalities to society, if they didn't have to spend their productive hours on such a trite problem as survival.

I think you missed my point. I am paying extra for a bulkhead seat that still does not fit me as well as a standard seat for the 'light person' - I get a worse service for more money. Then the guy in the article says I should pay even more, simply to appease his sense of misplaced righteousness.

Rack 2.0, or Rack for the Future
Captain Jean-Luc Picard states in the film Star Trek: First Contact that
"The economics of the future is somewhat different. You see, money doesn't exist in the 24th century. The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity."

That is not slavery. Slavery is the absolute absence of choice and opportunity.

So-called "wage slavery" is the very poster child of "first world problems".

Oh golly gosh it sucks so much to be tied to a job you hate, doesn't it? But in the vast majority of cases that lack of perceived freedom is not an actual lack of freedom but due to choices made. Often it's due to failure to budget and save properly, failure to acquire better job skills, etc.

Get some roommates, live in the cheapest part of town, stop paying money for cable, the internet, phones, movies, restaurants, etc. You'll start saving money pretty damned quick. Then use that savings to put yourself through a trade school, or just find a different line of work where you can learn on the job and move up.

The world isn't going to hand you an out if you just sit on your ass and do the same thing over and over, you've got to make your own exit.
They have completely customized UI, so that's lots of images for button frames, normal/active icons, spinners, etc. Although some of them could be created programmatically, I suppose having separate files is much easier for designers.

Number of images is doubled, because they are regular and Retina versions.

And they don't have to be all in memory. You can reference image by name and let iOS read it lazily and flush from memory when necessary.
Startup Skill Set #6: The Startup Manager
I'm in the US and way overweight even by American standards, and I take the train everywhere. I'm in NYC and I can easily go to Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, DC, or even Toronto via Amtrak. Certainly takes longer than a plane, but the comfort is worth it for me. If only there were trains to Europe.
In Europe, some people are thinking of replacing welfare by a certain ammount of money being payed to everyone, without condition, everymonth. Could be solution, even if you have to work out the details of such a scheme. What makes this different from any system we have today is, that people not working are most likely not stigmatised anymore. Currently you have condition attached to recieving money from the state, so as soon as you can get away from these conditions you will. Meaning you need a job , a.k.a. employment. The result is, that everybody without a job has nothing to offer to an emplyeer. Hence, the stigma that he's worthless. But he isn't, maybe he only has talents nobody is willing to pay enough to make a living these days.
If this really is a solution or how we can get there, well no idea. But we should think about it. As soon as there's enough for everyone, why not letting everyone participate on it. And when you look at the conditions you have to get your money when you ARE employed, well I'm not sure you're better of than without a job, from a self-respect point of view I mean.
Formatting is semantic in Go, newlines are significant, so a brace across a newline is quite reasonably different from a brace on the same line.

I would certainly like to see a single payer, universal health care system implemented that separates health care from monolithic employers. That, and I'd love to see actual real encouragement and incentivization of small business entrepreneurship.

Yes! Society as the kernel/API, entrepreneurs as userland tools / third-party services, with free reins to innovate and build on top of the base.

I'm neither right- or left-wing. I'm up-wing. I want the best of all alternatives. Too bad that the mainstream is stuck in the XOR mentality...
And that's the correct attitude. I don't say anything refuting the points in the article. I'm not against the article either. I'm pointing out that a single story does not describe a phenomena accurately.

But everyone is jumping on my comment as if I said that anything in the article is wrong.

Unfortunately he didn't know that and being from the UK did not think he would have any issues with immigration in any country in the world, least of all the US!

I thought transit was different from entering a country for a stay, for example I know that people from most countries need a visa to visit India, but if you are transiting through then you are just waved through. Same with most other countries as far as I am aware...

Regardless, he is now not keen on visiting US in any circumstance and would rather pay more/take a longer flight than transit through the US.
> In the space I work in - enterprise applications integrating large, disparate systems where you have zero control over interfaces and data formats but somehow need to get everything talking together nicely, generics are invaluable in structuring your code and making it reusable.

Luckily for you, Go already solves these problems incredibly naturally! Unfortunately, you haven't looked into how Go solves those problems, primarily through its interfaces and type embedding, plus its slices and so on are already generic.

It's true they aren't sure if they need it or not, but you clearly haven't looked into many feel they are unnecessary and that the present language is more than sufficient for solving many needs. In fact, Go is almost explicitly designed to handle the production cases you tackle. But it seems you've said in other threads that learning new approaches isn't really worth it for you, in which case, it's unsurprising that new languages aren't offering you much.
Why I Don't Want to Learn Go
Paying by the kg, whether kg of flesh/fat or kg of luggage, wouldn't be absurd. The kg of fat might be a bit cheaper, though: you need luggage crew to haul luggage, but most haul themselves autonomously.

A reason to impose penalty on luggage weight is that it affects what people bring aboard: penalties might entice you to leave some luggage at home; they won't entice you to leave your rolls of fat on the ground.

But companies won't start selling airfares by the kg: for it to be workable, you'd need a clear pricing scheme, and that's not in their best interest.
160k means 160.000	men. That's a pretty huge sample size. Not statistically significant means we cannot with at least a 95% certainty say that the treatment helps.
I think you misunderstand what I am saying. If you read my comment, you'll see I'm not talking about the content of the article or saying slavery does not exist.

It's difficult to tell people "think before you decide" when the people instantly assume that I am saying something that is attacking them and immediately start aggressively defending their opinion.
You might guess from my example how little respect I have for the "don't overload operators" argument. All I can say is, all the OO languages I've spent any time programming do indeed let you do that, and I'm sorry for you if your experience is otherwise.

So clearly I agree that adding primitives is an extremely important ability. But it's already nearly if not completely there in all the OO languages I use, using classes.

I don't think primitives are enough, though. The interface / implementations of interfaces combination is also essential to my programming. Being able to say "Curve" and have it mean Straight or NURBS curve or Circle or Offset curve or Composite curve or... is another huge simplifying device. In fact, I've just looked at my code, and I have 15 distinct curve types, at least 5 of which I'd have missed if you asked me to list them, despite having written all of them over the years. That is exactly the power of simplifying abstraction.

Let me point out that given a sufficiently capable OO language, this doesn't need inheritance to implement. This is just the implementation of a role or interface. But it does need classes.
We don't have to speculate. There are plenty of people who have solved all of their survival needs, yet continue to fill their days with enthusiasm and activity. I don't see a Branson or a Sivers resting on their laurels just because they don't have to work for a living.

Auschwitz? Seriously?

Your comment is the worst I've read on HN in a while. I think I threw up a little in my mouth.
And why do you assume that I am saying it does not exist? If you are widely traveled then you will understand the difference between articles and reality.
C people: think of interface {} as roughly the same as void*, except that values pointed to preserve information about their type which can be extracted and used later.
It is too simplistic - the human body has all sorts of hystereses in it, and doesn't work on a linear scale with calories. That being said, improving diet and using appropriate quantities is a fairly common solution - if people can stick to it, they'll generally be better off.

It's not the pricing scheme, it's the invasion of privacy that people will arc up about. Someone who is sensitive about their weight - and there are a lot of them - will be very difficult to manage in this situation.
>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).

There is a lot of evidence that obesity is mostly hereditary/predetermined and not a choice. That's the great thing in this area of science: Everybody proofs everything all the time. No one's wiser.

> 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.

So, you state that one can be lean by being forcefully starved (Auschwitz), then state that you don't think this is a good idea and then state "but it is not impossible to be normal for anyone" - well: You didn't provide an example for "normal". This people in Auschwitz were starving. Food-related diseases (and all other diseases) were on an all-time high. People were dying all the time. This is not an example of "normal", this is an example that the human body is able to withstand many, many forms of abuse until it breaks.

You would help this discussion if you were able to provide examples of big groups of obese people (there are always outliers) which were able to get lean without starving (starving is really, really bad for your body). Thanks.

edit: I've missed the part about Vietnam/Africa before. If you didn't see any fat people in Vietnam then you probably didn't look hard enough. I was there and I've seen them. Africa: Documentaries on Africa usually focus on the really poor parts of Africa. People starve there too, so: See above. (Also: There is the case of hunger obesity where you get really obese because or starvation. Try Google, but beware of shocking results)

So: what about if you apply for insurance and are asked along the lines "if you have any knowledge of a high probability of specific illness due to genetic testing?"

Sure, you can lie. But god help you if you ever need coverage [even for a non-related disease] and the insurance just flat out won't cover you.

I for one rather don't know and don't. One of the major reasons is exactly the one described above.

Measuring people's weight would make the already humiliating experience at airports even worse for many people, especially for women. Imagine the humiliation a female (over even a male) passenger would experience when she's flagged at the airport as overweight in front of her friends, family or colleagues.

This is an incredibly bad idea and it would be a PR and commercial disaster for any airline or airport that would introduce such a scheme.
They changed the numbering with the version 3 so while you are right, indygreg has a point too. We've lived with 2.6 for years and now they change the second most significant version pretty often. I've no feelings about it, just saying.

You said "No, don't believe this," as if you wanted to say everything in the article is wrong.
You're right about the main thrust of the article, however a significant part of the article did argue about health issues, obesity and taxing unhealthy living, which I think weakened his argument somewhat. So as a counter to that side of the piece, I think it's ok to mention the difference between muscle/fat etc.

Quite incorrect. If we rewind to the golden age in the 60s, the US's Saturn V had 5 F-1 engines on the first stage. The UK's Black Arrow had 8 identical engines in 4 pairs. Russia's Soyuz has 20.

Similarly, if you ask anyone at SpaceX they would tell you it's difficult to underestimate how much they owe to the old grey-beards from NASA who are still around and who helped them get up to speed quickly, avoiding many hundreds of thousands, indeed millions of dollars of blind alleys and reinventing the wheel.

SpaceX is a wonderful example of good engineers - old nasa ones and fresh graduates, united by a common mindset, with enlightened (for which private is often but not strictly a prerequisite) management. That's where they succeed, I think. They look at where they are now, where they want to be, and keep the string taught between the two. But don't think SpaceX could have done this in a vacuum (hohoho). Of the several SpaceXers I've met, including Elon Musk himself back when he had time to give talks at SEDS conferences, none would make such a claim, certainly.
Anyone is interested?
Tickets are subsidised in the south, too. You can cover a lot of ground for not much money. Get up, walk around, plenty of space, power outlets at the seats, no air pressure issues, something to look at through nice big windows instead of clouds through a tiny window if you're right next to it, no security procedures... there's a lot going for the train.

That would be 36.5M$/year although I doubt those kind of revenues are sustainable.
honest question... but how is this different from running an emacs server with split windows/buffers plus a console emulator that supports multiple sessions?

ex. i use yakuake (KDE) with three sessions. one with an emacs buffer and the CLI, one session dedicated to wanderlust, and one running erc. if i do some dev work i just add another session and fire up emacsclient to connect to the running emacs instance. this can be adopted for use in a server environment, you just ssh in and hit 'emacsclient' to connect to emacs instance.

The other is less personal, however hard you try, and shouldn't be on the same level as rants and bilge drinking pictures.
If you have double the items of luggage, you need double the number of handlers to move it through in the same amount of time. Excess baggage isn't all about the weight, it's a just a convenient and public-understandable thing to focus on, and gives them incentive to pack less.

What you have to realize is that, while 30 years ago only the rich could afford computers, now the poor can afford the exact same one.

In fact, the field has leveled so much, that the rich can't get more bang for their buck. I spent $2,500 on a maxed out MBA, but my super rich friend can't spend $25,000 or $250,000 to get something better. Same goes for iPads, iPods, iPhones, anything in technology.

Another example is Gmail. It's free, and arguably it's the best there is. Rich businessman are stuck in email for most of the day, but they can't do better what I get for free in Gmail. (In fact, they're probably using suckier corporate email.)

It's not food, it's not medicine, but this phenomenon is still pretty notable if you ask me.
Thanks for the link! The author expresses exactly my thoughts.

In essence: Go is not a system-level language (GC) and for problems where performance does not hurt so much there are other alternatives.

To add my personal opinion: I would not consider Go for another reason - I will not invest in a language that is backed by one company. I did this once with Java and I will not hurt myself again. Java's start was fantastic but then came all the business crap like EJBs and tons of frameworks.
