Yes, but the incentive not to purchase more real goods increases as the currency appreciates because every unit of currency not spent now will be able to purchase even more real goods in the future. Hence, people avoiding spending now except for essential goods.

This inevitably results in massive deflation and eventually destroys the economy, rendering the accumulated appreciation worthless.

China's economy has seen its currency appreciate for the last decade, while they simultaneously get far richer. The same principle was demonstrated by the last manufacturing powerhouse: the USA.

Yes, and in both cases this happened after the countries stopped fixing the supply of money. In the US, this was moving off the gold standard, in China, this was moving off of the USD standard.

I started with LYAH loved the first 6 chapters. Got bogged down on the 7th because it was more abstract.
Now Im reading both LYAH and Real World Haskell and reading both makes a great combination. If I get bogged down in one the other keeps my momentum going.
Well, thank you. I like the site too.

I really hope that everything works out well for your gf, and the Atlantic. I called trading exposure for work a despicable trend because it's happening in so many fields. Its unfair to place all the blame on the Atlantic.

People should go easy on The Atlantic. This new phenomenon needs more society-wide awareness and technologies for micro-payments.

My understanding is that regulations have stymied micro-payments. If that is the case legislation should be adopted to correct this.

Journalism is extremely tough, and has much more of my sympathy. I have total disdain for operations like SXSW that are very profitable and still stiff their talent.

EDIT:

After posting this I thought about how your gf may or may not be embroiled in this controversy. I think the issue of free work/immiseration of the creative class would make a good piece. The Atlantic could acknowledge that it has succumbed to economic (and perhaps social) pressure, do some human interest pieces on people that have been effected, people that have found ways to be viable despite the economic changes, and maybe regulatory reforms that might make micro-payments feasible.

I could see a continuing series on this topic being well received. This issue made it to the top of HN today, I think that validates the market.
+1 that request. Really good plugin otherwise.
Absolutely.

Being a payments-processing company, we have a variety of users (marketplaces), each of whom has users who are widely geographically distributed, so our usage doesn't drop off as much as some other types of sites might on weekends. That being said, on weekends we see slightly lower traffic than during the weekday, so we performed this migration on a Saturday evening.
Move toward cloning MS Access from around 1997, but with open web technologies. And yes, I am very serious about this. We have needed this for a long time, and I don't think anyone but a browser vendor has the expertise to make it happen. Clearly you understand that the browser is an important development environment, so why not go whole hog and create something that can solve roughly 90% of developer's software needs?

Zapier has been really great for my service CallTrackingMetrics - they made it incredibly easy for us to provide integration with our service to all the services offered on Zapier. This is huge because one of the most time consuming efforts we focus on prior to integrating with Zapier was 3rd party integration. The integration isn't perfect, but it has been extremely valuable and their support team has been very responsive. I'm really excited to see how the team at Zapier evolves their platform. It's like a pipe that makes it very easy to connect web services.
Basics that I've seen when it comes to regulations of these kinds in US vs UK/EU:

In the US, the regulations are primarily to serve the corporate interests (consistent production at scale, distribution over a wide area)

In the UK/EU, the regulations are primarily to protect the citizens, often to the point of impeding business to a degree.

I'd rather see the latter but it goes against pretty much everything we're taught from birth in the US.

The meat of the article is:

>the fact that there are 234,000 unrecorded deaths in the Japanese population means the often-touted life-expectancy figure of 82 years for Japan now has to be considered suspect

Not sure how you can argue against that reasoning unless you can show Japan's life expectancy calculations have nothing to do with official estimates of how many people are currently older than 100 (which is possible).

Your example doesn't follow the spirit of their argument at all. They aren't proposing their own average, and their evidence involves far more than one data point.
I'm not sure appearing bigger and more successful would actually lead to a company becoming bigger and more successful though.

A company lying would ultimately just be fooling themselves.

Interesting. I find I get a ton done with ear plugs but it might be due to some traffic noise right outside my window.

I've also tried white noise which works pretty well.

I'll give this a go, but I'm not sure any music will work, the music itself can't be too enjoyable or engaging or it can become a distraction.

Somafm.com is a great station for this kind of music that you can leave running in the background where the music is good, reasonably unfamiliar,etc.
> When addressing a public who largely still links vaccines and autism, they would indeed find it amazing.

If forbes really are addressing those people, it's hardly helpful to describe the fact that vaccines work as "amazing".

It's lending weight to the idea that it's surprising that the vaccine worked.

Even if I was addressing flat-earthers, I still wouldn't call it "amazing" that a round-the-world yacht race ended in the same place that it started.

The headline of the article is proposing an average, though. By saying "the myth of x" they insist that x is false. In this case, this is equivalent to asserting that Japanese life expectancy is not above the average in Western nations. Seems like simply a case of a misleading or exaggerated headline.

Salmonella is common with all sorts of reptiles and birds. I'm assuming that it's virtually impossible to isolate chickens from those, so they'd have to keep vaccinating indefinitely.
Just because there's welfare fraud in Japan doesn't mean their life expectancy can't still be higher than in other countries. Also, let's not pretend there's no welfare fraud in other countries.

Small farms probably aren't deliberately pumping beta carotene into their hens, and battery farms don't fortify their feed to change yolk color. Strikes me as similar to the situation with factory tomatoes, which are gassed to appear ripe.
Maybe not news to you, but in american media the "Super healthy asian food" image sells a lot of snake oil. In fact, there are people who think going to a restaurant/mall and getting asian food counts as a diet and/or eating healthy. They have no idea how different "westernized" asian food is to how it is(was?) made in their countries of origin - or that orange chicken, sweet & sour pork and chicken-fried rice might not be the best choice for eating healthy/dieting.
Ditto, for me it's the artifacting mixed with how busy it is. A blur would resolve both of these.

Ask HN: Web apps or desktop software? Where's the market?
This is a short question which might get some long answers. I want to develop a tool which makes it easy for teachers and professors to write tests: multiple version, multiple choice, long answer, scantron, the whole works. The question is, would I be better off doing this as a web service (subscription model) or a desktop application (buy-once model)? The attractive thing about this market is the target is academia, which often has a lot of money to spend on this sort of software. I'm just not sure which way to go with it.
The attention to detail cracks me up. It even has a test suite!
I feel like there's a lesson for software here. You can have more than one effective system. Each will have its own properties, upsides and downsides, but you can't cherry-pick specific practices within the system and transport them into the other system, or even evaluate them in isolation. What is best practice in one system may be actively harmful in another.

Randomly plugging numbers. Say there are like 250,000 'undead' people. Say that on average they've been on dead for average of 50 years (crazy! I know!). This works out to an extra 12.5 million years of life. There are 127 million Japanese. If we assume average life expectancy of like 70 years, works out to 8.9 billion years of life. If we drop those 12.5 million or so years that don't exist... we're still at like 8.9 billion years.
My favorite so far is Phillip Glass's soundtrack to Kundun. Really interesting but not so much that it's distracting.
To be fair, they had to upgrade to a development release (1.5) of HAProxy to configure it in this way. When we introduced the broxy at Braintree that feature did not exist.

Arrogance or not, the fact remains that community developed Android distributions have all the unskilled users Ubuntu could ever dream of having, yet the projects are even worse.

Projects that rely on community support simply cannot handle the load. It is a failing of community driven open source to be sure, it would be great if it were otherwise, but I simply see absolutely no reason to think it is not reality. Your theory is nice, and it would be nice if it were reality, but it does not fit the data.

Many replies thought the "amazing" adjective was about the fact that vaccines work at all. Methinks you are a bit knee-jerk against people you even suspect of opposing vaccines.

I thought it referred more to the logistics of getting hundreds of producers coordinated and hundreds of thousands of chickens vaccinated in so short a time. Actually, if they have the data, it would make for fascinating study about epidemiology in vaccinated populations. Some chickens were probably missed, but once the vaccination rate reaches some critical level, the disease doesn't spread the same way.

So, no need to assume the writer is one of the "crazies" and no need to have an OT comment thread about it.
Last time I used the Firequery plugin for Firebug (way back in FF3), it would show the elements on the page that were also represented as jQuery objects... that plugin might be a jumping-off point for how to show visualized event bindings
A thing I never understood is why writing into the console a function should show the complete body content.

The only one who do it "right" in my head is firebug: console.log(my_function) show just the function "definition", clickable to go directly in the sources at the right row.

>I see parallels with Haskell

You are seeing things.

>I'm not saying this is wrong. What I am saying is that the gap between making something 99% consistent and 100% consistent is often huge in terms of complexity.

Haskell is a very simple, very consistent language. That is one of its biggest strengths.

>The answer is (again, IMHO) is that simplicity matters.

Except that lisp is not complex. Especially consider scheme, which is very simple and consistent.

>It's true functional programming does change the way you think but I think writing idiomatic Python or Ruby will get you much the same benefit at much lower cost.

Having gone from "I see the benefits of functional programming, but think a multi-paradigm language is the right way to do it" to outright revulsion when stuck using multi-paradigm languages, I think you might change your mind if you actually tried it. Ocaml and scala certainly sold me on haskell.

To tell anybody ‘I AM ISP A’ you will have to connect physically to some ISP C. C will then (hopefully) check you and if you go ‘I AM ISP A’ he’ll ignore you and don’t tell anyone unless you’re really ISP A and he determined you to be this guy.

There are rather obvious limits, however, for example you will likely have to believe your ISP C if he says ‘I AM ISP B NOW, TOO’. If you then connect to another ISP D, and tell him ‘I KNOW ISP B’, D will have to decide whether to trust you (likely if you are a large telecom company) or not (if you just happen to have two 10 MBit/s lines to C and D each).
The author writes as if, when a 'real person' makes a recommendation, they aren't just making a prediction from data. The difference is that we can see how the algorithm works, whereas our picture of what the human brain does when it thinks about what someone might like is very murky.

And even if trusting a recommendation causes a placebo effect that increases the perceived quality (as others have pointed out, it seems plausible that a hyped recommendation may cause disappointment instead), why on Earth would we trust a process we don't understand, but mistrust a process we do?
Let's put aside that what you're saying is a red herring. (RedHat makes a lot of money and to do it they pay professionals to develop free and open source software. Samsung, Intel, Google, IBM and Oracle make a lot of money and to do it they pay professionals to develop free and open source software. "Open source running on open source" is entirely practical and just because closed source software exists doesn't mean you can't refrain from using it, see Debian et al.)

But let's address the original point. Suppose I want to run Steam on Linux. Some bug in Steam requires me to put an ugly hack in the kernel to address it. +1 ugly hack in the kernel, the same as it would be on Windows. Meanwhile in a hundred other cases where the thing with the bug was open source, I can fix it on the other end and it doesn't require an ugly hack to be put in the kernel. So the Linux kernel gets one ugly hack while the Windows kernel gets a hundred and one.

It doesn't stop being an advantage just because there are exceptions to the rule.

Not as many people cook with a thermometer as should... the big problem is egg whites start to coagulate around 65 or so. Your fried egg is not safe unless its frankly somewhat overcooked. If its runny, you're totally rolling the dice. I do not eat eggs, especially at restaurants, I'm tired of food poisoning (which hardly happens every time, or even occasionally, but since fried eggs are greasy and rubbery and gross and the only thing worse than fried eggs is food poisoning symptoms, I don't mind not eating them anymore). In baked goods I don't mind even though unrisen cookie dough is full of raw egg.

Its too bad because from a technical standpoint I think sous vide "hard boiled" eggs would be very interesting, but not interesting enough to risk food poisoning.
