You could also see if it would be good as a source for citations in the relevant wikipedia articles, but that's a whole project in itself probably.
Unlike a podiatrist, a dermatologist went to medical school. If they're young, there's actually a good chance that they were among the very best medical students -- in the past few years, dermatology has become one of the more competitive fields in medicine because of the lifestyle (short predictable hours, high pay, minimal insurance hassles).

There are daft people in every field, but I would be delighted to have most of the derm residents and attendings I've met in an emergency (in fairness, I should note that this is a small sample, drawn from a couple top-tier hospitals, and biased towards people who do volunteer backcountry search and rescue).

Adam Lanza had zero history of violent behavior, and certainly didn't do anything like threaten to kill people with guns. There was no way to foresee that he was going to behave like this, which makes this even more tragic.

Really? What happened before modern medicine? I'm not being snarky: I believe you.. but a burst bladder would be lethal without access to modern medical knowledge. That seems like a epic fail by evolution.
1. Is there any tool where I can check the page speed of a website.

2. for a site like http://syncfin.com where i have to use 4 bright images, is there any particular format I should keep the images in. Basically when there are multiple heavy images to be loaded , what would be the best strategy to optimize the page speed.

thanks in advance for any pointers to relevant articles and tips.

Great work! The only thing is that this needs to get updated based on the changes of the new 0.9.9 release. Specifically you do not need to create a custom dispose function, remove now will remove listeners bound to the view.
I stopped wearing watches many years ago, shortly after i got my first mobile.
Some years later i thought "ah what the hell, get a real watch" and i hate wearing no watch nowadays.
I feel like it's a nice looking jewelry, it has a function, it has style and (probably most importantly) in the world full of electronics it is a masterpiece of precision mechanics.

In short, nothing will ever beat the fine art of mechanic movements, i really prefer wearing that to a plain electronic watch: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Russian-...

P.S.: Of course i would never ever wear the smart watch this post is about. I kind of feel ashamed that i did wear casio "calculator" watches as a kid.. horrible :P

A good and bad article all in one.

It's good, because it addresses some common misconceptions.

It's bad, because it implies that you can't generalize about anything nor anyone. Obviously, there are - broadly - common traits in Europe. The point is fine, to the extent that the broader generalizations you make, the more people will be described incorrectly - and you cite some great numbers to emphasize that.

The post makes it sound as if there is some scientific constant for maximum population size you can generalize about.

You're comparing a language to a framework. Rails is but one of rubys web-frameworks. There's sinatra and built on top of that padrino. There's camping, static page generators like octopress and that's just the web-world. Even rails is not a monolithic bloc: You can use activerecord or activesupport as libraries and rails itself uses a ton of libs itself. The ruby community values small libraries that can be plugged together to a bigger whole - and rails is basically a very opinionated collection of libraries with some glue code (and magic) to form a cohesive API. It's good for some kind of projects and it's certainly the oldest and biggest ruby framework, but it's by far not the only one.

"Checked in but not viewable" is called a private repo.

If it's a public repo, don't check it in. I don't think Github should try to create a manifest of all "dangerous" files.

Really, best practice is to not check in sensitive values to your repository, ever, and instead use environment variables or symlinks to shared files via Capistrano to set these values in your application.
Created an account just to state this: tech people please don't go into discussing politics / economics. Brits want to exit EU because of wars in the past? This is ridiculous!

What about the real reasons:
1. Britain has 70% of its laws created by the EU by burocrats who were never voted into the office and can't be voted out of the office: Barroso (President of the European Commission) and Von Rumpoy (whatever his name - never elected President of the UE). 70% of British laws are created by unelected foreigners who definitely don't share their anglo-saxon heritage, focusing more on Germany-centered economic views.

Germany has always been goods producer. UK has always been a trading nation. You say forcing UK to obey Teutonian laws will prevent future wars and upheaval and I'm telling you it may as well cause them (look at another country not consistent with German economic policies: Greece)

Not to mention other things: UK is banned from entering into trade treaties with Canada, Australia, India, and the US - their historical partners - EU has to do it for them! They have to accept EU imposed anti-British customs with India, Australia and Canada because by the EU law they have to trade openly with EU and mustn't with Anglo-Saxon world. And economically - this is killing them. EU exports into UK much more than UK into EU. Why bother? It's not like they will loose business once outside of the block.

And other things - newly passed EU laws that will basically kill London's stock exchange and investment banks to keep German tax payers happy.

THIS and not history of wars is the cause of 2 in 3 Britons being in favor of EU exit. It's just bad business for them and their economy and nobody in the EU seem to care. As long as the Chancellor is happy.
I have one question regarding the question: "Did you end up getting sued?"

Why would the doctor get sued? Why would that question even be asked? I didn't feel like any type of catastrophic event happened to merit a lawsuit.
This tutorial is great.
I use flask, its excellent!
I tried Django first and it never felt right.
The flask documentation is pretty good,
and its working great for us.
I highly recommend flask.
I had a look at the Schema stuff - I actually use it on another site of mine ( http://thebigeat.com ) for listings of takeaways, but it has made no difference SEO-wise and it tends to make my markup look like shit. But nevermind A/B testing, I am doing A-Z testing here - throw everything and see what sticks.

I'm hesitant to go adding my site as a citation - it's a good idea but it just seems a bit black-hat for me. Hopefully it's something that might happen organically though.
I think a lot of us need to admit that the author is right. I, for one, do generalize about Europe. I think of social democracies with high taxes. I think of arcane rules and regulations to start and run a business. And most of all, I limit the term "Europe" to include about 20 of the 50 European countries. I will never think of Russia as a European country. If I entered a contest and won a vacation to "Europe" - and the destination turned out to be Albania - I'd be thinking "Wat?!? That's not Europe."

From the outside, the term "Europe" is a confusing morass of distinctions. There's Europe, the Eurozone, the EU. The UN also has a geoscheme that is different than all three of those. Hell, half of Americans probably don't know the difference between England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom.

Apps using nothing more than regular HTML/CSS/JS. This is IMO the way that every single App Store should work.
I dont think so. I clicked logout, took 30 ish secs to log out. Loaded a new page, 30 secs, as "normal". Clicked log in, that simple page loaded very fast. Logging in took ages though. Nothing changed, except that login page loads as fast as any page should.

Most weird. I think it might be a problem getting the CSS, but I simply cant see why.

Edit:
Should add, I have not been notified in any way that this has or might have happened. I know of know reason why it should, I have always tried to respect this community. If it has happened behind my back, then I would be quite appalled. At the very, very least, I would expect to be told. And yes, I use a proper email account. Besides, I emailed the site and got no reply.
> Making generalizations is a wonderful property of the human brain. Without that we'd all be lost in the fractal complexity of everyday detail.

Sure - the problem is when the generalizations are so broad as to become complete falsehoods. If I went to Upper East Side in New York and concluded that Americans are extremely wealthy persons who live in townhouses, I would be incorrect.

I admit that I have only skimmed the tutorial, but it really looks well written and structured to teach you Flask. I have seen other tutorials on HN with far more discussion that were no where near as good.
No question. Just showing that in this case speed isnt putting me off using the site.

Well, no it doesn't. Italy and Greece are extremely different to Scandinavia. At least regarding to things like temperament and culture. They are much more like Bulgaria and Turkey, though they may not really be willing to admit that. You can't really sell to Italians by operating in Denmark. That's not to say that you can sell to Italians by operating in Bulgaria either. Especially true for things like enterprise software, eg. accounting systems.
"Better distributed wealth" and "use the Euro" do not alleviate the law and language bariers. What these two things do help about is only not having to carry 10 different currencies in you pocket. Which is not at all true if you have to visit one of the non-Euro states.

There is though one type of company that greatly benefits by the situation. And that is the international mega-corp. They can afford to produce or provide services from Bulgaria and sell to the whole world. IBM, HP, VMWare, Ubisoft, Crytek and on and on... All have offices in Sofia, Bulgaria. This is a result of the non-uniform wealth distribution. They can sell to Western Europe and U.S.A while being close to them, using workforce that speaks English and has tradition in technical sciences, while at the same time being relatively cheap.

As a result, Bulgarians don't have ambivalent feelings toward enterpreneurs at all.

So no, you can't generalize. You will be wrong every single time.

Disclaimer: As it should be obvious by now, I am a Bulgarian.
Quite. As I say, it must be something my end, specific to me. Other wise loads of people would be complaining.
Thanks for the tutorial! Just a small suggestion: Syntax highlighting would make it easier to follow the code. You could probably use a library like http://balupton.github.com/jquery-syntaxhighlighter/demo/
Back up, but slow.
The most important thing was my commitment to write 1,000 words a day. I am 160 days in. After that was having a short deadline. Since I made the december 12th launch date public I knew I had to hit it. So I compressed everything necessary into that short time.

Marching in and adding links to your site to WP is certainly a bad idea, as well as being plain ethically wrong. I was thinking more of turning up to the talk page for the car article and just offering them the content, but even that probably contravenes wiki-core directive #5749327.

I mentioned it because your site seems like a genuinely good source that WP would be happy to use, making it a win-win. Don't try and use wikipedia for pagerank boys and girls.
Bash Finder: Control the Finder from the Terminal
Bad article. The giveaway is "The better word is that they believe in atheism." Massive strawman. The strawman also presupposes that some body of doctrine called "atheism" exists, in the same sense that "Roman Catholicism" or "Greek Orthodox" or "Southern Baptist" bodies of doctrine exist.

Also, the article proposes a "God of the cracks" argument. We haven't found The Truth yet, so God might exist somewhere in what we just don't know so far.
In the UK vets are pretty highly qualified. And, unlike most humans, horses can't tell you where the pain is or what it's like.

I think I'd be happy for a vet to do some doctoring.
It may be most who do it when the family is not home but not all. A story came to mind a couple of years ago where a family was murdered in Penn. during a robbery. Most families are always home in some form and some thieves have short patience when it comes to what they want. An intelligent thief would use this information like this to their advantage.

The most famous story is of the Clutter family written about by Truman Capote. I'm not sure if they had a gun but the family was home and were intended to be murdered at the time of the robbery.
Well, I understand it matters for Amazon and Google, but I'd be curious to see how it works in case of OP's website. Obviously it's going to be different from Amazon. I guess the subject is a little bit misleading.
Questions:

Why are there comments on the page?

How difficult would it be to compile it into an ebook and make it available on kindle/itunes/wherever else? Seems like you'd only need to make a couple of sales for it to compete with the adsense income. Maybe have it so if the visitor has read 3 or more consecutive pages it shows up with an ebook splash page, "advert free and easy to read blah blah blah"
It has been down :-(
I live in Romania, and just 40 miles away from me there's an entire different country, Bulgaria, with its rivers , whole mountain ranges, TV channels, folk tales and a different alphabet than ours. We have been each other neighbors for around 1,000 years, give or take, and yet I can only understand at most 5 words of the Bulgarian language and when it comes to "shared culture" I can only relate to some Bulgarian animation that I used to watch as a 5-year old a long time ago.

Now, on the entrepreneurial side of the story, I work for a Romanian startup who seriously considered expanding in the regional market (Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria). Now, Polish and Bulgarian are both Slavic languages but use different alphabets, so we would have had to hire different local people in both countries (with all the different laws, accounting and the likes), while with Hungarian (a Finno-Ugric language) we could have hired someone from my city, Bucharest, thx to the local Hungarian minority. We finally stopped the non-sense and decided to focus on a single huge market, the United States.
What about it? Find a study to support your belief if you think patents aid innovation in pharmaceuticals. I can refer you to my comments the last time I challenged people to show a study in support of this idea. The paper attempted to measure innovation in the number of patents issued. Hopefully the problem with doing that is blatantly obvious.

If you want Americans to stop making ridiculous generalizations about Europe, the way to do it is by similarly pledging to avoid the sort of ridiculous generalizations about America made by some Europeans - not by arguing about relative levels of heterogeneity.

Personally, I suspect certain differences between American regional subcultures - for instance, attitudes about the proper role of government in society - are broader than those you'll find between European countries.

Looks like your site is already number 3 on my google search for "how a car works".

The homepage is a bit boring. You have a lot of pretty pictures, you should some how use them on your homepage. Perhaps include a relevant picture with every chapter heading.

And for good measure, include all the social share buttons junk. Google+, FB, Twitter, etc... Especially for if you get popular on HN. You'll want those sharing karmas...

I would also drop another adsense text box into the side nav. Perhaps remove the one at the bottom of the page.

> ambivalent feelings toward entrepreneurs

I haven't found this to be the case in the Nordic countries, at least. You can't walk around a corner without tripping over a startup incubator, and there's a lot of interest, among both techies and the public (and the government), about where the "next Nokia", "next Spotify", "next Rovio", etc. are going to come from. Germans also lionize their famed "Mittelstand", which is not made up of Valley-style startups, but is still definitely entrepreneurial.
Louisiana is very different to California too, but that doesn't mean you can't refer to America as a general entity.

Bulgaria is a beautiful country, I visited it while living in Romania. Of course all the Eastern European countries like Bulgarian, Romania, Slovakia/Czech, Serbia etc are all different, but also very alike.
> The problem with this site is that user accounts do not have emails attached ... as a much more effective method for making most users behave according to guidelines would be to send them a warning.

Most sites have a capability where they can flash a message to a user the next time they log in. Such a message could link to the flagged comment in question and point out what was wrong about the comment.

But really, HN is not a democracy, or transparent, or really anything other than pg's playground. So it's up to him, and clearly he's chosen to put avoiding confrontation first.
This happens regardless of the policy. You can't worry about the edge cases -- some people will always think that, for whatever reason, they are irreplaceable or are in continual danger and will not take the breaks that they ought.
