> How many of us would have estimated that the volume of water would be so small?

Well, I did, but that's because it's already been emphasized to me before (in some kind of geology class) how little volume the crust+troposphere shell takes up. It's not a water-specific thing, but a crust/troposphere thing, of which water is a subset. And actually I think the real underlying counterintuition is just a geometric one, that people don't realize little volume spherical shells occupy relative to solid spheres.
I sometimes wonder if the high cost of healthcare is not, in part, a conspiracy from larger companies to keep people from taking jobs at startups.

Edit: (To my many silent downvoters..) Healthcare being tied to your employer is a competitive advantage of larger companies, isn't it? Either way, speak up!
Ask HN: Any cool startups in Amsterdam hiring?
after years of b2b web development in Python, Django, PHP & JavaScript I'm looking for a cool startup to work for. I'd love to work on a product that I'm proud of and be able to show my friends for a change :)
I also use DuckDuckGo on a daily basis and it's great. Far better than google in my opinion. And how, with DuckDuckHack, it will only get better...
;) Google decided that companies that pay them more (between price per click and CPM) are more relevant? Color me surprised. Google is also on a jihad against extremely useful sites that do things like price comparison and reviews. Guess why?
The site is really nice as a first application. Btw, are you a modernite by any chance?
I don't know. I think one of their biggest problem is to handle "gravity": how good content flows and bad content sink. Wikipedia handle this better. They, at SO, have to have some gravity.
I don't see how taking someone as a mascot is insulting to that person. It's not even a depiction of Siddhartha Gautama, anyway -- it'd be more analogous to a picture of a Dominican monk than of Jesus.

Besides, the Buddha was a very smart guy, and much-admired, but that doesn't mean his image need be jealously guarded. I don't see the harm in a little irreverence -- if anything, light-hearted treatment of idols serves as a helpful reminder that nothing should be taken too seriously... can you explain why, in this case, it provoked the reaction in you that it did?
Can one excel at both prongs? I don't know, but i do know that one person can (and has) created excellent Web Apps, entirely on their own. The fewer people involved in building something the lower the coordination costs (time spent communicating, noise introduced into the spec because the reader/listener never comprehends with 100% accuracy). This doesn't mean the smaller team wins, but it is a primary reason why the bigger team doesn't always win.

As an aside, while again i don't know if excellence in design and coding are achievable by the same person ,i suspect parity probably is. For instance, i'm an average coder and a bad designer, but with enough practice mediocrity in the latter should be attainable.

That was my first thought, too. I've had some bugs that actually make good stories, if told right... But I had a lot of other stories that are better. The only halfway interesting bug I can think of right now is actually pretty lame, and the rest of the story that goes with it is halfway interesting.

There's always a danger when picking out certain criteria and claiming they mean something. In this case, 'ability to remember an interesting bug' does not actually select for good programmers. It just happens to overlap somewhat.

Steve Furber was the head of the Computer Science department at Manchester University when I studied there 10 years ago, I believe he still is.

He took us for a course about ARM processors and how to program them via assembly code. It was tough to say the least but interesting, the text book was the one mentioned in the article. At the time we realised that ARM was a big thing, but looking back we definitely didn't realise how big it would become.

Eventbrite API Gotchas
Suzlon - Leading Wind Power Solutions Provider
Zynga completely abused the product. I started getting requests to give them more rights on facebook, which I solved my signing in with my email - then they started to send me push messages about weird things - I've heard they even asked for read/write sms rights on Android devices. I can only see it one way - Zynga might make cool games, but they are hardcore abusing regular people - also non-techinal people unlike us, that does not realize the outcome of granting these priveledges.
I stopped playing it solely because I wholly disagree with Zynga the company and how they operate.
The biggest thing I loath about SO is when they close threads because the question has been asked before and then link to a thread that nobody has replied to 3+ years.

SO is becoming less and less useful as time goes on because they actually stop questions that need to be re-answered from being re-answered.
Makes me glad I didn't link it to my facebook at all.
Sorry - I remembered that I on an earlier occasion couldn't find JKM' answer. It's there now - and I personally don't find it convincing. Again - I am a novice and has no authority here. – I'd edit above if I could. I am sorry that I wrote wrong info.

Thanks for the reddit link. As you say it seems to me most of the flak is from not agreeing on something. But can an oppinion be correct?

And yes: Mitsuhiko seems to be a super cool, clever and friendly guy. In my last project I played around with request. Lovely it was.

Anyways: my point was not to express that web2py is the greatest thing invented since bacon. Only that I don't understand why the python community dislike it so. After all - web2py makes it very easy to build stuff. Hence it will probably attract people to the language. Hence make it more feasible for webhosts to offer python friendly environments. And that should be a good thing? Especially in the context of OP - "how do PHP guy start with python"?
"In Collier, Florida, women live 85.8 years on average. In McDowell, West Virginia, they live to be 74.1. That’s an 11.7-year gap"

I would guess most of that difference is due to migration of elderly persons to Florida, not due to Florida being healthier or health care being better there.
Probably helpful to realize that the lifespan is determined more than just one metric, such as healthcare. Cultural differences between different regions likely plays a significant effect. For instance, my guess is diet leading to obesity helps to drag down life expectancy in the regions where the life expectancy is lower:

At least in the UK, the price of the contract depends on the phone. SIM-only contracts are also available, which will be even cheaper each month. The only number which will give an apples-to-apples comparison is the total cost (initial cost + monthly cost * contract length). Some people seem to say that monthly cost and contract length are fixed in the US, making the initial cost the only variable, but I find that hard to believe.
Tobias wrapped up this fine post writing, the "gap [between developed and underdeveloped counties] will be, if it continues, a major fissure in a future America."

Fun fact: office 2003 was originally designed around these APIs, and it was planned as a cloud offering. The world just wasn't ready for it back then.
Is there only one "contract" in the US? Don't you also need to know the monthly cost and exact details of the contract you are tied into?

There's a reason it's referred to as the united states.

In most of the world, "state" == nation. The US is an exception, but it's because the initial concept, pre-pivot, was of a confederated union of independent states.
Surely Zynga must have negotiated some earnout agreements or contigency payments in order to mitigate the risk?
IQueryable Vs IEnumerable
IQueryable inherited IEnumerable, so it obviously get all the functionality IEnumerable has. The working style of both is still different. There are still lot many differences exists between the two which impact the decision we took in usage of either one. Both of these suits for particular scenarios. Following are some differences using which we can took decision to use anyone of these optimally.
Warning, fixed-size and limited-size is not the same thing. VARCHAR(12) is a VARCHAR which can not go beyond 12 characters, CHAR(12) is a fixed-size string which will be padded to 12 characters.

I'm pretty sure Rails uses VARCHAR (or its equivalent in other DBs) exclusively. But unless a size is specified it will use VARCHAR(255). VARCHAR(16) will enforce a maximum size (through truncation) and may (depending on the database[0]) lead to optimizations by storing the string differently and/or ending with lower row (and table) sizes.

As for TFA, his example using phone numbers is not very good because while there are standard sizes for phone numbers (E.164 allows for 15 digits including a country code of 1-3 digits, giving national number maximums of 12 to 14 digits depending on the country) people usually fuck them up hard (by using the sizes — and formattings — of their home countries), and when adding local formatting conventions it's an even bigger messes (depending on the country, you can have up to half a dozen format characters interspersed between digit groups)

[0] it does not in Postgres: as your link notes, Postgres will dynamically decide how to store a string — in-row or out-of-row for instance — on the spot based on its size. On the other hand maximum string size has an effect on Postgres indexes: b-tree (the default) will blow up on strings beyond 4k chars, and this is not statically checked by postgres, it will blow up while trying to insert a string of more than 4k chars.

Of course if you're trying to index a string column with such sizes using anything but full-text indexes you're probably doing something wrong anyway, but if you're using VARCHAR (which maxes out at 1GB due to implementation details) you may find yourself in that situation even though you're only storing 4-letter codes.

In that case, you're better off using VARCHAR(4).

Moving somewhere when you're old doesn't change your life expectancy.

You're confusing something else, possibly average age, with life expectancy.

If the elderly populations of long-lived Florida counties still largely come from migration, longevity may say much more about living and healthcare conditions elsewhere. As well as wealth effects reflected by the ability to retire to Florida.

At first glance the intention of TestPAC isn't too clear, seems a bit grey in the area of what the campaign is all about.

It's great that an Internet community has come together to rally funds to help fight such an opponent such as Lamar, however the message with the billboard (https://imgur.com/a/egngk) and the supporting website isn't too clear.
The average Joe if they understand the billboard and visit the website won't make the connections an Internet savvy user might.

I've been following the SOPA/PIPA/CISPA developments closely, but I had no idea about TestPAC and when visiting the website http://www.testpacpleaseignore.org/unseatlamar/ it doesn't link me with the candidate name on the billboard (who if I was a citizen in that state I'd need to vote for).

Unless the intention is just to make people vote for anyone but Lamar?

I think number 2 nails it. Apple doesn't do low end, they've never needed to compete in the area as it's not their dog show. However there's a market, there's people who dearly love the iPhone but can't justify the full price device, or kids or someone who's transitioning to their first smart device.

So Apple has a situation. Go low end and basically go against the corporate ethic, or allow Moore's Law to let them price the previous generation down so they're still making a profit but allows them to fight at a lower price point. And that's smart, as it covers the bases, and that's what Cook has brought to the table.

I find that most countries do have way too many denominations to keep track of. Sweden has slowly been removing coins as inflation creeps up, and we've ended up with:

Coin 1 kr (15¢)
5 kr (70¢)
10 kr ($1.50)

Bills: 20 kr ($3)
50 kr ($7)
100 kr ($15)
200 kr ($30, to be introduced next year)
500 kr ($73)

And it works well, change is easy to use so you don't end up with too much of it (no jars of pennies), there aren't any coins with basically no value, and I find the split between coins/bills to be well-placed. Now if only we could get those nice polymer notes that Australia/Singapore has...

Value and price are different things.

Abstract objects -- i.e. informational goods -- certainly have value, it is just that they have practically zero price now.

Price, and paying for things, is a way to regulate how limited resources are shared out. But abundant things do not need a price -- there is plenty for everyone.

The idea that creative work be paid for through copies of it is only an artificial convention. It was just a pragmatic economic arrangement to make it possible to pay for one thing by paying for another.

In the end, we need to pay for scarcity -- creative effort and resources -- but should allow abundance -- copies of informational-goods -- to be free. That recognises the value of abstract/informational-goods by maximising the value that everyone can get from them.

There are certain topics which, whenever they come up, really just need to have an automatic disclaimer of "yes, we know that" to deter automatic replies people will always post.

* Anything that mentions regex needs to have an automatic disclaimer of "yes, you know the formal mathematical definition of regular expression and how it differs from what most programming languages now offer, good for you".

* Anything that mentions SQL needs to have an automatic disclaimer of "yes, you know that Database X isn't really relational according to a strict interpretation, good for you".

etc., etc.

Any article which discusses mobile phone pricing similarly needs to have a "yes, you noticed that it talked about contract-subsidized prices, good for you".

Because, to be perfectly honest, such comments add not one good goddamned bit of insight or information to the discussion (as here, where subsidized iOS phone prices were compared to subsidized Android phone prices, which is roughly as fair a comparison as one can get of how up-front cheaply such phones can be acquired), and typically are just restating something most readers already know.
> Moving somewhere when you're old doesn't change your life expectancy.

It may increase the average life expectancy of the area you are moving to, though.

In other words, while the people who were born and raised in the area may have a low life expectancy, an influx of wealthy retirees will drag up the average life expectancy. In some cases the people moving to these areas may already be older than the average life expectancy.
> VARCHAR(16) will enforce a maximum size (through truncation)

Thankfully, real databases won't do that. They will blow up and leave the application to do the truncation.

If there is one feature I want a database to have, it's that I'm guaranteed to read the data back that I stored there.

That also means that if I store "foobar" in a varchar(3) field that I don't want to read back "foo" with no way to ever find out that I didn't actually ever store foo there to begin with.

Storing a 6 character string into a field dimensioned for three characters is an error and not something that would warrant silent data corruption.

usually CMOS chips have input protection diodes which prevent the input pins from rising too high above the power lines or too far below ground, which causes SCR latchup - essentially a short from power to ground. This also means that CMOS chips can often be powered by input pins alone.

I've even experienced this with a stepper motor driver which didn't have the main power lines hooked up (but did have logic power), where 3A were going through these diodes to run the motor. So I'm not sure how that particular anecdote says much about the power usage of the ARM chip.
