Er, well throwing in "compared to a smoker" is a bit of a cheat... but body odor depends a lot on the person. I've known some people that could go ages without showering and still seem (and smell, even in close proximity) as fresh as a daisy, but others that always seemed to have an obvious, er, presence, daily shower or no.
The US Supreme Court, in 1995:

Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.

Ignorance is bliss. Let me spell it out for you. THERE IS NOTHING FUN OR EXCITING ABOUT IT.
I truly believe Programmers should never get a "job". If you are not skilled at all they are really overpaying you and if you have any skill at all, they are really underpaying you. I wish a day when all programmers just work as consultants and paid of every hour they work. Programmers should be treated more like artists or actors.

Here's the problem. If your team takes the time to really try and come up with something that everyone agreed they wanted to eat, then you all end up with a high quality lunch. If you just start with the worst idea and iterate from there you run the risk of getting something that has bugs in it which you don't even realize were there until much later when it's already too late.
I got a job as a developer in Japan right after I graduated from University. I wrote about my experience here: http://www.tokyodev.com/2011/08/19/finding-a-job-as-a-ruby-d...

Having an in demand skillset (like being a developer) opens up a lot of possibilities.
Don't forget the worse part: salaries are much much lower in third-world nations - at least here in Malaysia - especially after considering currency conversion.

To put this into perspective: median annual salary for software engineers in Malaysia is about RM45,000, which is $15,000 a year. A 'highly-paid' consultant might make about RM150,000 a year - all of $50,000 per annum.

I definitely think the incumbent leaders (the other 2/3 of the forbes list) and their monopolies granted by governments which allows them to sponsor much of the culture (at least in the developed world) can be attributed to this.

And which makes me smile when Thiel touches on how developing countries, who are glad to get their solar panels and rain water catch systems that give them access to things they had no access to for most of these past 40 years in the same way developed countries have, might come out ahead in this next go.

That's right. Food and gas is cheaper back home (USA) than it is in India, where the cost of living is astronomical vis-a-vis the paycheck drawn by the average Indian.
A per-item price comparison shows vegetables and meat are a lot cheaper (and cleaner) in the US than what I find in India. Metro cities like Mumbai and Bangalore are very expensive when it comes to rental costs, transportation costs and entertainment costs. Have you checked out how much beer/alcohol costs in pubs in Mumbai and Bangalore. Let me tell you, its way more than what we pay in the USA.

Schooling is the most expensive - there is no free public schooling worth sending your kid to. A good school can cost INR. 100,000 per year and even the poorest person I met aspires and scrapes money to be able to afford the astronomical fees required to send their kid to a "private English-medium" school.
you totally stole my joke :)
My thoughts exactly. I'm the engineering manager (mechanical engineering) at a design / manufacturing firm and I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth it to buy our own machine. I'd prefer to have access to all the different print types (fdm / sls / sla / objet) and not deal with the upkeep and machine obsolescence issues. There are a ton of shops that can make parts now, which is driving the part cost down.
I tried this at some point and recommended it to a couple people in the past. I liked the convenient interface, though I remember having an issue with my address breaking at an inconvenient location and there was no apparent way to fix it.

People who have never lived amidst such extreme wealth disparity cannot appreciate what a mindfuck it is. There was an article the other day on HN about how upper class Indians barely regard lower class Indians as human beings. It's not because upper class Indians are bad people. It's because that's the only way to cope living in a country like India where the rich live amongst indescribable poverty.

> Patches that add options are rejected 99% of the time.

Ah, yes, the "You're holding it wrong" mindset in action.
That is a nonsensical assertion. In exactly what way am I worse off simply because some rich tool has a private jet or a Bugatti Veyron? I still enjoy a standard of living beyond the wildest imaginings of my great grandparents, or, for that matter, for the vast rural poor of Asia.

The problem of wealth disparity in the US is exclusively one of burden sharing: disparity is a problem when those of lesser means are required to make actual sacrifices, like risking bankruptcy for an appendectomy, or sending their kids to classrooms with a 45-1 student/teacher ratio. It's a problem implicating disparity because the Bugatti drivers could, it's often asserted, pick up a greater share of the burden while feeling less of the impact, because the marginal utility of their dollars is less than those of a poor person.

But the problem is not simply that there are rich people, or that they have things you & I don't have. Many of the things rich people have are stupid. But even when they're not, they almost never cost you anything; in fact, because the rich choose to soak themselves with Veblen goods, their extravagant purchases actually help you by driving the economy.
Ohh, I am going to have to take advantage of that. I go through tons of energy drinks in a day. I guess I could classify them as "snack".
I have to say I think this is true.

Of course not every single American eats the same. But, probably the best reflection of the "average" American diet is via "mainstream" restaurants (i.e. chains, but not fast food).

Look at places like Chili's, Friday's, Ruby Tuesday, and (gasp) Cheesecake Factory. Their portions are out of control and they are laden with fat and sodium. It is not unusual for a single meal at those places to nearly meet or exceed one's allowance of, calories, etc., for an entire day. And some meals (ex. Just about every entree at Cheesecake) are cartoonishly huge.

It's ridiculous. But, I think that defines the "average" American diet in the sense that these guys are all targeting the mass market. So, what they serve is the product of much research into what people want, and then is constantly being tweaked based on observation.
Couldn't they use something similar to a spam filter?

> You pay Apple a monthly fee, and Apple distributes micropayments to publishers based on pageviews or whatever.

This is the model Kachingle have tried and Contenture tried. And a few others, actually. Nobody's made it stick yet. Apart from Apple I could see PayPal, Google and Facebook trying to make it work.

The problem is that no major media source is going to trust a different major corporaton with their livelihoods in any all-or-nothing scheme. So there's room for a smaller player to grow into the role. Which is what I've been working on.

> The only way to make it work would be for all their web content to be firewalled, and force people to get it through iTunes Store instead.

Actually, no it's not. It's possible to do this reliably without forcing everyone through a paywall.

I know, because I developed a technology to do exactly this.

It allows publishers to selectively allow users through based on a general aggregate scheme alongside their own paywall schemes. Or they can be open to the web and collect from members only.
In the last day or so, I heard some researcher say on NPR that some of his postdocs now are accomplishing things that a decade ago would've taken a hundred scientists to do, and all thanks to recent rapid advances in technology. While I understand Thiel's arguments, how should we actually weigh these competing claims? Is it as simple as the notion that lots of people are trying to use technology to safely make big bucks with very minute changes in products whereas other folks might be making big advances in science without getting much press? Talk to me, I want to know!
Social media and on-line communities are more democratic than traditional journalism, however we miss out on an important form of journalism: investigative journalism.

In the future we will potentially miss out on a valuable occupation. Perhaps corporate/government sponsorship for investigative journalism is the way forward.

>where the bottom 10% live as well as the top 10% do in developing countries.

You clearly have never lived abroad. Money goes further.

I once lived in Cuba, for an internship. I had housing and food provided by my employer, they paid the family $800. I had $500 spending money on top of that.

I lived like a KING. I've never been that rich in my life. People made my food, cleaning my room, cooked for me, did my laundry.

Many thing that I wanted to buy could be had for a fraction of the price. I'm led to understand that this applies across the developing world.

In particular, you can hire PEOPLE for a fraction of the cost you can get interpersonal services here. This has an incredible impact on your real standard of living.

According to Wikpiedia, bottom 10% maxes out at 10,500 in America.

That is POOR, assuming you don't have health care or housing provided.

I couldn't find reliable figures for China, India, Brazil or other countries, but I'm very certain I'd rather be in the top 10% of those countries than the bottom 10% of America.

Anyone have figures for those countries, or experiences being 'well-off' in a poor country?

All this needs is a button on the generated grocery list to have them delivered to your door. Partner with TaskRabbit, InstaCart, Safeway (I believe they do free deliveries for anything over $40), etc.

This is absolutely amazing (like many others are saying, I've been wanting something like this for years), but if delivery were added, I'd never have to worry about the hassle that is shopping and meal planning again! First world problems I know, but this is actually a pain point for me because of work hours.

What's the top 10% in Bangkok and Bangladesh?

Having lived in one poor country (Cuba), I found your statement as incredible as the grandparent comment's author did.

Bottom 10% in America is $10,500 according to Wikipedia. That doesn't get you much standard of living.

Everything is cheaper in the developing world, so seemingly small amounts can go much further.
I would argue that the internet's erosion of our attention span is making 'journalism' type articles less and less appealing to users.

The selection bias on this poll seems massive. Interesting discussion none the less.
I've been doing this a while, and have found that prestige from non techis, for us engineers, is based on the company we work for. Tell someone you're an engineer at google or facebook and you get the prestige. Tell them you're a programmer at some startup they've never heard of and their like "yeah, whatever".

I think a lot of it has to do with people overusing the term "engineer". I know people with that work for the phone company that have lower skill jobs but still get the title "network engineer" or some such. Normal people can't distinguish between this and the hard profession.
It was down for 10 minutes about an hour ago too. Oh well, time to procrastinate!

But a more interesting question is to look at what information is presented and what is missing. How much is new, how much is old.

My favourite thing about Hacker News is seeing submissions like these. Partly because whenever a site is down, the submission is a link to the site itself and the traffic from people hitting the submission link might be making things worse. Why not just a title and some text without a link instead? Perhaps the title could say: "Tell HN: Github is down again" instead and perhaps the text could say something like, "I'm in New York and Github is down for me."
