Many people might have back pain because of muscle weakness or just too much sitting, I don't doubt deadlifting could help them, so could many other things. But very few of the very many people with various back issues get them properly checked, and if you have any kind of damage to the actual tissues of your spine, than adding 500lbs of extra force acting on them certainly won't help and I don't think we need extra research to see that ;) I guess it also depends what "heavy" means to you - the weight used in a deadlift will always be higher than in most over exercises, but it is not uncommon for people to lift 2, 3 or 4 times their own weight.

That guy was outed as a Walter Mitty. You can check for yourself: he's not and has never been registered with the FSA. He fooled the BBC because he said what they wanted to hear, this was a big blow to their fact-checking credibility.
I don't see "buy stuff" in there? Am I missing it? Or did you mean by "Users are reported to start with 80 points - they gain more by taking part in promotional activities, but lose points if they break any of the rules."?

That could mean state sponsored activities. If one could simply buy their points back, and could properly amass cultural power with words, then it would essentially turn China into a plutocracy.

based on my example, yeah I can see where you would think that.

But that example wasn't meant to be the definitive be all end all hg workflow. just an example of how one person(me) keeps multiple lines of unrelated development straight in their head.

Changesets can be converted to patches, patches can be folded into patches, series of one or more patches can be converted to one or more changesets. IMO, if there's any edge case that all that doesn't provide, I probably don't need it.
Why bother releasing it at all then. It just confuses your customers.

Surely this area would be better tackled by a lean startup.
Yeah, going to gym straigtaways is way too painful. I started gym once, and I my whole body was in pain for whole 1-2 weeks. (I gradually left after a month) I think, had I started in bit by bit, experience would have been better. I have to start again this summer break, and hoping to start bits by bits this time.
The author's claim is this:

Local debt is the big untold story of the Euro crisis and, if that was not apparent before, it became glaringly so when Catalonia’s President this week told the world his autonomous Catalan Government would struggle to meet its bills at the end of this month.

What I take issue with is that he didn't actually fact check whether or not Catalonia is an example of a dangerously indebted region. He makes it sound as if Catalonia is on the brink of default by the end of the month, which isn't the case at all. He just takes the words of a politician at face value, apparently unaware of the internal dynamics of Spanish politics.

What the Catalonian president did was to pressure the Spanish government to let the regions refinance in federal Spanish bonds because interest rates are lower than for debt issued by the regions.
I think the Internet was treated with almost inevitability and insignificance by some science fiction writers as it is a means to an end, not the endgame itself.
Ultimately, it should be: Let's be as productive as long as it doesn't compromise ethics.

The latter (ethics) is usually too flexible.
I don´t think people realize how little the former government did, and now with their opposition strategy they are in fact gaining support little by little.
They only have to criticize the cuts and call them "right wing" and people will flock to them. We don´t want to hear bad news, and when you have had 3 years of them, some people is asking for somebody to sell them the snake oil that will bring everything back to 2005.
Yes, I deliberately tried to avoid using FP slang as to not scare away interested C++ programmers. This is also the reason why I referred to I/O »in the classical sense« instead of mentioning the m-word. ;)

Ask HN: Is there anybody collecting pain?
Reading HN I get clear that it is all about identifying and solving a common, and profitable, customer pain. Is there any website that serves as a communication chanell between potential customers and their common pains, and start ups that are working on the field? How do you get in touch with potential customer's pains?

I'd just do it and if only stop if they complain.

If they decide to treat you in a hostile manner they could just cancel all orders that come through your site, feed you bad data, etc. without having to rely on the law at all.
Thanks, you're definitely right on the points you make and surely this area is too complicated to provide "works for everyone" advise though I've tried to slap a disclaimer for it.

Bulking vs cutting is too much for someone amateur/starting out, I just moderate my fat with cardio and proceed with normal workouts. There are guys doing it for 4 years in my gym, if someone asked if they weight lift or are just fat I'd have a 50% chance to pick the right answer - I think most guys just bulk all the time ignoring cardio whatsoever, minority (pro/competition ready) do it right with cut/bulk phases, but I choose this middle ground for now.

I'll refrain from giving fitness advise in the future as there are indeed too many unknowns for someone reading it at the other end of the cable.
What is Graviola (Annuna Muricata) Treatment and Side Effects?
I could be mistaken, but part of the assumption here seems to be that everyone is equally good at their job. It seems far better to have the incredible teachers leveraged as far as possible (to teach the most number of students while still remaining effective) rather than having everyone chip in their 21 hours and go home. Since this applies in every industry, it seems to explain why businesses prefer to have fewer (but more highly paid) employees.

In short, this would have happened if it was in anyone's interest. The employee wants to work more to earn more. The employer gets value out of consolidating production to the most productive.
The interpretation of the law is up to the individual countries. I've only been watching what's been happening in the UK. Until last week the guidance from the Information Commissions' office has been 'you need explicit opt-in' if you want to set cookies that aren't vital to your site's work (example, cookies set when a user is shopping and puttnig items into their cart are deemed vital, Google Analytics is not).

However last week the ICO issued new guidance saying that implied consent is OK

You mean a single place where customers can complain about issues, and vote on what they hate most? Intentionally ask people what they hate, instead of asking what they want?

... I like the way you think. I very you could get more actually useful information that way. You get what problems you need to be solved, rather than what people THINK they want.
This happens in all sort of markets. You charge based on the cost of living. I don't like it, but it happens. It is usually linked to a contractual obligation in the locality, which means they have to charge higher to support the costs of their local representatives.
You are right that the PP is trying to fix their own mistakes. But the Spanish central bank has been instrumental in hiding ALL the spanish banks holes (or ignoring it or I don´t know what they have been doing).
There are no cajas without exposure to the crisis, all the local governments have used them as if they where their own bottom less booty that had to be shared out.

If left to owners/managers/developers to implement the opt-in we risk having a variety of ways for doing the same thing. Some good, some not so good and some just bad.

A less painful solution would be to try and solve this at the browser level where the experience for end users would at least be consistant. Like a blend of DNT & private browsing mode that had extremely restrictive criteria for cookie usage - if any.

Something like [Ghostery][0] would be a nice starting point.

Of course the better solution would be to erase Article 5(3) and start again. Good intentions, bad directive.

Here's a smart idea : Build homes and offices elsewhere in the U.S. I never understood the constant swimming against the tide in the Valley. Expand elsewhere... It's becoming uncomfortable and unreasonable for a great deal of people. On a grand scale this is bad for the U.S :
> More expensive to hire people here
> More concentration of wealth
... > Wealth gets pissed away into the inflated shoebox called Silicon Valley.

Think outside the box .. but the nature of the valley is that everyone thinks inside it .. Go figure.

After some observations, A visiting friend commented : You have some of the highest paid/intelligent people in the U.S located here yet they live no better than the garbage man in other states... I don't know if this is incredibly stupid or smart.
Cornell's recent move to NYC (http://www.cornell.edu/nyc/) is going to be a great boon to the startup scene there. This will undoubtedly attract some very good tech talent from 3 schools (Columbia, Cornell, NYU) in a very dense area. The one draw back about Silicon Valley is how spread out everything is. I would imagine serendipitous meetings in NYC will spur the startup culture there quite rapidly. Looking forward to the exciting changes there.
An excellent guide to medical transcription software
It’s amazing how technology evolves today isn’t it? What’s even more fascinating how up to date different sectors of the industry are with it. Today, we have features such as medical transcription available.
using a text browser at all feels quite pointless these days, as much as I like them. Even programming website (case in point stack overflow) just don't work at all without javascript and images.
The list is very conservative this way, but I add a bunch of sites myself and uncommenting google-analytics and other tracking sties is perfectly safe and doesn't break anything - even google. And for cookies there's cookie monster.
Do you think that house prices have found a bottom yet? I fear that the structural reforms you mention will not have enough of an effect on public finances quickly enough if house prices keep falling and more banks go bust.

You certainly sound ferociously biased. In another comment, you implied you're making huge trades, so it's not very surprising.

> You can't eat gold. You can't live in silver. And you most certainly can't sell it when everything goes down.

Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe ring a bell? They sure didn't seem to mind that you can't eat gold, and just went ahead and exchanged it for food instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HD0NWRSEjU

Your dismissal of gold as "baubles" doesn't change the fact that it does seem to work as a medium of exchange, even in a situation where a fiat currency no longer doesn't.

Sure, that's based on trust, just like you said. But mcantelon's point that gold can't be created out of thin air is relevant to that trust.

> Well seeing as my tbills represent the future output of the world's largest economies

Your T-Bills are IOU's from one of the world's largest economies, and guess what? -Those are based on trust too.

> Money moves to safety during times of high vol. People think money moves to gold, when in fact it moves to the highest quality bonds and currency.

Yes, money moves towards perceived safety. The mainstream perception of the ultimate safe investment has been US bonds.

But you know, it's possible that something else might end up being perceived as safer than US bonds. Perhaps something that's not controlled by any government, and can't be created out of thin air. Perhaps something that is still trusted as a medium of exchange.

Government bonds in general have been thought of as a safe investment, but Greece's bonds are government bonds too. Care to buy some?
Hah, I was in a very similar situation to you last week, wanting to start a Photoshop subscription.

My first issue was that there were two descriptions of what happens when you cancel an annual subscription early. I thought about calling up to ask which one actually applied, but I couldn't stand the thought of fighting through a phone-menu/customer-service/hold dance to actually get an answer, and more importantly, I don't have any trust that the answer I would have received would have been correct anyway!

> Right, so I just assumed I'd login and change my country to Australia. Wrong!

The admin interface "worked" for me, but the problem is, you can't change your registered country anyway. I went round and round in circles, and would actually end up at the South African store regularly, for some reason. Not to mention that if you visit the business store, the Photoshop subscription plan isn't even present.

I was too lazy to bother calling them up to change it, so I just registered another account (I didn't have any previous purchases). Then I ran into the next problem: I had no idea how to actually download the program! The Adobe store redirected me to... a blank page. And in the 5 emails they sent me regarding the subscription there were no links to download the program. Somehow I discovered the Adobe Creative Cloud Client, which finally let me put in my login and download/install the software.

God help someone like my (artistically inclined) mother if she ever wanted to do the same. It really is amazing how a process can be so broken. It's broken enough that I'd consider going and searching for a pirate version purely to avoid having to deal with Adobe. And that saddens me, that a company with such a tight grip on a market can treat it's customers and users with such contempt.
I wasn't criticising it but as usual it depends where you come from: I'm Italian, have been living in UK for 7 years and run a bunch of companies in both countries. As such I've never even considered job benefits, the way I see it is: I put enough money aside when things are good in order to be prepared for when things might not be that good.

I'm sure there are situations where really "it's not your fault" but most of the time I talk to people in dire situations they completely failed to do anything when things were going great for them. I have little sympathy for them, especially when they end up blaming everything but themselves.
Totally fucked headline. Referring to Sam Harris as a "neurologist who profiles Muslims" is like referring to Bruce Schneier as a "bald guy who blogs about squid".

However, the exchange between the two of them is fascinating (halfway through it).
An excellent example of embracing the changing technological landscape and providing new value in addition to it. Now if only Hollywood would realize this, stop mourning antiquated ways of doing business and provide new value with the amazing technology that is available.

About to move to NYC (grew up in SV) and looking forward to experiencing this paradigm shift. I have grown to resent the hive mind around social networking and big data around my home town. The one thing I worry about is moving away from the hardware backbone that made SV great originally. I've been very happy to discover a lot of 3d printing and open hardware work going on in NYC at the very least, even if it's a little "softer" than some of the R&D out west.

Funnily enough Neuromancer is one of the novels I've found that non-SF folk actually quite like. Possibly because it borrows from some of the film-noir tropes and is written in a more "literary" style than much SF. But I'm a huge Gibson fan so may well be biased :-)

A couple of things to bear in mind when reading it.

First Neuromancer was published in 1984. It was the novel that pretty much invented the whole cowboy-hacker image that's been reused a bazzilion times since. The whole idea of "cyberspace" the "matrix". Of custom hacker tools. Super-human AIs with less than human motivations. Of an international data-sphere used by companies. The rise of the global multi-national. The magical influence of the 1% of the 1% superrich. All of it in a much more "gritty" realistic world. Neither dystopian or utopian.

So much of this is just the general background to the whole SF genre now. Or indeed reality.

Just as a book of ideas it just blew me away at the time I first read it in 1989. Five years after it was first published. When most of the world had no clue what e-mail or the internet was. When my neighbour thought the AI in my degree was "Artificial Insemination" not "Artificial Intelligence" (that was a really confusing and funny conversation - "I never knew you were interested in farming" :-)

Second was how it compared to the rest of SF at the time. The kind of fiction folk like William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Pat Cadigan, Rudy Rucker, and John Shirley were putting out was just so... different from most of the SF that was out there at the time. Gibson's was the first novel length work I'd read in that style and... wow... it just blew me away.

Don't get me wrong - I love Ender's game too. In the same way I can love "Of Mice and Men" and "Moby Dick" - despite there radically different literary styles.

It's hard for me to divorce Neuromancer from the time I read it in. If I'd grown up reading Charlie Stross, Neal Asher and Richard Morgan then I'm sure that it would feel vastly less original. But for me, anyway, its a book I still love.
No silver bullet, however with high density it's possible to find solutions for traffic and sewage more easily.

For water, the problem is the same.
All of these cities you list are actually stifled by pollution and are (very) far from being clean. I happen to live in one of those and visit regularly others in the list.

The problem is far from being solved. However, it's true that the pollution per inhabitant is much lower than in the Silicon Valley.
I figured out another way you can hide links as they are clicked.

With jQuery override the .click() event of every link on the page. Then, when the link is clicked get the URL of the link from the event parameter that is passed to .click(). From that information, you can construct a CSS selector like this one (with jQuery)

$("a[href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10668292/is-there-a-setti...)

Which can then be used to hide the clicked link. The problem now is one of persisting the data between sessions. Your options are localStorage, remote storage, and my suggestion: sqlite in webkit a'la: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6200976/sqlite-in-chrome

After you have saved the "read" urls in SQLite, you should be able to hide the surrounding data as well in the other <tr> tag by traversing the DOM with jquery.

I really would love if you did this. Please consider giving it a try.

Yeah, I think you have summed it up quite well!

I have a few neighbors who have the entrepreneurial bug and have started small businesses during this downturn. One fellow said he would be happy to be making enough to employ his brother in-law and take home 1300 for himself.

I wouldn't bet on this forever. There are increasingly good tools to manage at least iOS devices in enterprise environments, and the platform security features of iOS are nearly as good as Blackberry. In the BYOD world (which is growing), you can deal with less management of devices (enforcing some minimum standards), then layering stuff like Good on top of them to secure business applications.

In the BYOD world, very few people will be bringing Blackberries to the party.
Montreal is a dying metropolis, with very high taxes, Greece-style debt and an out-of-touch central bureaucracy that is more interested in culture wars than good management. Former premiere Lucien Bouchard mentioned that he was "shocked" when bankers threatened to cut Quebec's bond rating; the idea of deficit spending was so entrenched that the idea of it having a negative impact was seen as laughable. Wall to wall graffiti (and not attractive graffiti) are the hallmarks of the town, as are the poorly built roads and collapsing overpasses.

I left Montreal to go to "30 year recession" Japan and the difference is night and day. I don't believe in the future of Japan, but I am even more skeptical of Quebec's. Bringing it up as a success story makes me doubt your comment, eventhough I strongly want to believe what you said.
Do you have a reference for that? I don't see anything like it at the ICO site.
It has exactly the opposite effect on the notation's grammar.
Hi,

that's exactly the kind of problem that was going on through my mind for about 2 weeks now. We've never learned howto analyze whitepapers or dissertations. Let alone howto convert an unknown mathematical formula into usable code.
I see this as one of the most essential skills we never learned. Could someone please teach that skill? =))

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me and others understand how to dissect and codify the main point of a whitepaper.

This is a very interesting paper for example, that I've tried to understand, but I still only have a vague idea of it: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~jyc/papers/fibonacci.pdf

Here http://groups.csail.mit.edu/netmit/sFFT/ is another very interesting algorithm I knew for a long time, but even though I understand the principle. And tried to put it into code, I wasn't able to identify what the important part of their whitepaper is. They even provided some pseudo-code which I've seen in many other papers, but I've never seen where and how they standardized the pseudo-code notation. The pseudo-code looks ambiguous to me. (NOTE: They provide the code now, but that wasn't the case when the paper was published first).

This kind of thing makes me feel stupid.
