Go read the actual study then rather than the article, and find out how she justified her decisions. Most likely, she based them on definitions that were defined and validated by multiple previous studies before her, or presents research demonstrating validity of her claims.

From my time in academia, I can assure you spend most of your time and writing justifying your decisions, and a whole load of very critical people have to agree with your judgement before something gets published.

It's common practice in peer-reviewed cardiology publications. Some titles are clearly constructed around the acronym (I guess the cool kids call that a "backronym"). We even cite the abbreviated studies (like PIOPED) in our medical notes, though I'll admit I don't enjoy doing it.

I specifically avoid speaking "like a doctor" around my kids; it induces a cringe like no other when I see teenagers trying to speak like an experienced MD.

That said, this Gianna girl seems well-composed, poetry and all.

"he vast majority of parents were foreign-born in Hong Kong or southern China, with relatively low educational attainment and a median income of between $30,001 and $45,000 in each of the study’s three phases, spaced out equally over eight years."

Wait. Amy Chua is US born, no, and of at least the educational attainment needed to teach at Yale Law--which I assume is paying her & her husband rather more than $45K between them. So how do she and her daughters relate to this, except as a hook to grab our attention.
That's not really how it's defined in the article. It's more "this is what you're going to do, but I'm willing to negotiate the details."
Yeah, MediaTemple died at the most inappropriate time (again).
Your header file is your interface and documentation to anyone using your code/class. Why wouldn't you want to declare your public interface there?

As for readability. Ruby is getting there but currently:

- (void)employersWithCarrierID:(uint)carrierID withMaxReturnCount:(uint)count;

[self employersWithCarrierID:123 withMaxReturnCount:10];

is a lot more readable and verbose than

def employers (id, count)

employer 123 10

I wasn't talking about the "running around" I was talking about the "being kids" rather than "mini adults."

As used in the article, the distinction between "authoritarian" and "authoritative" is a cold versus warm distinction, not a "directed" versus "undirected" distinction.

I appreciate you making this and have downloaded a copy to learn from. While I usually develop websites using Rails, more and more of my clients are asking about WordPress. I cringe a little each time (yes, I'm one of the ones who would rather not build sites with WordPress), but at the end of the day, I am in the business of helping clients get their stuff done online—if that means doing it with WordPress, then I'll dig in and get it done. To that end, this will be a helpful resource for me. Thanks.

I mostly use Waze to get a good ETA and watch for traffic and police when I'm going somewhere I already know the path to. If I'm going somewhere unfamiliar or not very popular, [TACO BELL AHEAD!] I don't trust it.

The "she didn't win first place" is hardly a surprise when you consider the absurd subjectivity of "science fairs." (ie. different judges for each project, different criteria)
Sorry, you're right. It was an off the cuff rebuttal with no substance. Added to the parent comment.
indeed, i think the patient (and family) probably cares more about patient's health than the doctors (unfortunately true). my solution is along the lines of what healthtap is doing, the patient posts a question and a few real doctors respond back, the patient makes a better informed decision than rely on a single physician to make or break his/her life!

one big difference between what i am developing versus what healthtap is doing is that i want to develop some sort of scoring for doctors' responses so that we can help the patient make a better decision instead of being confused with 10 or 20 different responses. actually even worse, many doctor responses on healthtap and other such sites is something along the lines of "you should see your doctor", duh!
I went by the average it gives weighted to the time range of the IPO (because the parent said since the IPO). But one-billion is correct if you count before the IPO (which the guy who first brought up the one-billion number was talking about).

Bloomberg, in typical sensationalist fashion, calls this a "dangerous iPad2 flaw" when defibrillator patients are already educated about the risk of magnets and Apple's manual informs users of the magnets and warns against this exact problem.

They continue (in the video) and lump pacemakers into the warning even though their own article specifies that pacemakers were unaffected: "The iPad2 didn’t interfere with four pacemakers or a loop-recorder, which were also tested."

tl;dr - 14 year old's dad does her science fair project for her and doesn't win. Nobody learns anything and the news gets it all wrong.

>and realize she's being raised differently than her friends.

I think this is an underappreciated point. It's not that this style of parenting is inherently flawed (aside from the emotional abuse), the biggest factor is that she can see that she's not like her friends and the comparatively easy life that her friends have leads to resentment. I'm sure she would be much better off if she were immersed in the Chinese culture where this style of parenting is typical.

There's a bunch of background in the psych literature beyond just this article. Here's one summary of authoritative parenting:

http://psychology.about.com/od/childcare/f/authoritative-par...

If you've ever had a good boss, there's a good analogy there. A good boss doesn't micro-manage or tell you what to do: she lets you arrange your time as necessary to accomplish your objectives and exercise a lot of discretion about your day-to-day work. However, she doesn't let you just spin your wheels and not accomplish anything either. She provides just enough guidance to ensure that you're still moving forwards without dictating how you move forwards.

A good parent is very similar. He provides structure and direction, but lets the child discover his/her own interests and pursue them. It's only when the kid is at risk of stepping seriously off the rails that the parent steps in.

Overall, I think Musk is just a really fucking smart guy. He happened to get a lot of money, and that doesn't usually happen to the smart people; it usually happens to the people who know how to grab at money, which as it turns out is not a remarkable skill and doesn't correlate too highly with future success. Whether you like the guy or not, Elon Musk is a dreamer, and has big ideas, and the capital to realize them. That's a damn rare thing, and we're lucky for it.

If you're one of those people, for pete's sake go do something big. Everyone else is pretty stupid, and nearly everything can be done better.

Barclaycard claims antidote to daily deals 'fatigue' with Bespoke Offers
This only works if kids are also given adult responsibilities along with their consequences. Giving kids the choice to choose their own path doesn't work when they know that they are not truly responsible for their actions. Contrast kids today with kids decades ago when it was typical for a kid of 13 to get a job to support the family. If you want to treat kids like adults you can't half-ass it.
what you propose is interesting, it's so simple that it sounds borderline idiotic but i think this awareness alone could have prompted my dad to ask his doctor about a possible stroke or approach a neurologist just to be on the safer side.
I think the implication is that those are incompatible.
I didn't even realize there was an issue until you actually said something about the console not producing output.

It's hard to know how profitable HFTs are on the whole as for the most part they are very private. That said some very big names on HFT have recently laid folks off.

As someone who hires and interviews in this space, HFT firms seem largely the same as old trading firms were. Boom bust cycles that comer and go as profitable trades shelf life expire.
Ask HN: How would you invest in yourself with $10,000
I'm a 35 year old programmer. My background is Wall Street and Google. I'm quitting my job in a few months and taking some time off. I have enough money saved up to not have to work for 8 months to a year. More if i do consulting work part-time. I don't really want to travel fulltime - did a lot of that last year for work. Other than that, i don't have any family constraints so i'm not tied to a particular location.

I've decided to set aside a max of $10,000 during this time for personal improvement. My primary background is in distributed systems but I've taught myself large bits of machine learning (at the level of Andrew Ng's classes on youtube - not the coursera stuff) as well. Initially I was thinking of getting my second master's - this time in machine learning but those are more like 30-50,000 and a 1-2 year commitment. I'm learning things like Android/IOS programming right now but those kinds of subjects i tend to pick up quite quickly from the internet and books so i'm not sure if I would pay for classes on those subjects.

I was also thinking of stuff that's not related to computers like taking part of an mba curriculum or taking lessons in public speaking, negotiation, marketing etc. As a 35 year old coder, i'm also thinking about what's next in my career - i like hacking a lot, but I don't know if I should be investing in more management skills/credentials since i'm not sure i'll be able to get a engineering job at 50 (evidence showing otherwise for 50 year olds on HN notwithstanding).

So, I thought i would ask the HN community for ideas - how would you improve yourself with 10,000$ (or less :))and 8 months ?

Ouya Snags $15 Million in VC Funding, Gets Delayed
The DMCA takedown procedure still gives too much power to the accuser, without sufficient penalties for improper notices. Since it implements a "guilty until proven innocent" system, there needs to be strong deterrent for false notices. Things especially need to be clarified for the case of computer-generated takedown notices - there needs to be a real person who is at real risk of disbarment or perjury charges when those notices are false positives, especially since the penalties for a false counter-notice are that harsh.

Nope.. just the web.
To be honest, when I saw the title, I had hoped it was 10 interesting facts about the USA, not this. Trust me, as a foreigner, these articles are getting boring, and I strangely read a lot of them. I am not sure if they are supposed to make me feel superior or sad, but in reality I feel neither.

I also find that these articles portray an image of Americans that is either not true or very misleading, which cannot be healthy or useful. The fact that I know where Sudan or the Ivory Coast (I refuse to use its French name in an English context) is, doesn't mean everyone in my country do.

And in regards to point 1; this just doesn't ring true at all to me. Yes, we cover other countries' elections, but not in the way we cover the US presidential elections. And even people I know to be anti-American, often have something to say about the elections. I sometimes fear we cover the US elections more than our own elections. Then again, our elections last for four weeks.
Isn't not allowing your children to run around with other kids a specific case of not allowing your children to "be kids" but rather requiring them to be "mini adults"?
That's not true. Part of science is doing experimentation. If an experiment doesn't reproduce, you need to find out why that is. The hypothesize and test part of the scientific process is every bit as much science as the rest, even if your tests show that an idea is wrong, or that more is going on then you thought.
The DoD in the title stands for "Directorate of Defence". It seems the text in the red banner at the top is incorrect.

DODTC deals with imports/exports of weapons/munitions. I guess it is technically "exporting munitions" if someone in another country downloads one of these files.

"Hi, My name is ____, and I'm one of Senator/Representative ____ constitutents from ___.

I'd like to urge representative/senator ____ to join in supporting the

Make sure they catch and make a note of "the Unlocking Technology Act - H.R. 1892" part, as that's what they'll note down and use in their own counts of how many calls they've received.

I'm reading this as: Asian students perform better than other groups even with ineffective parenting. Am I missing something?

>“Whenever scholars compare European-American and Asian-American families,” she said, parents among the latter “almost always score higher on controlling and lower on warmth, which means they’re more likely to be classified as authoritarian.” Yet, their kids were outperforming whites in school. This gave rise to the “achievement/adjustment paradox”: kids doing well by external measures while feeling torn apart inside.

You still had to tell the compiler ahead of time about the property. The actual test is more like

NSObject obj = [NSObject init];
giveObjectAProperty(obj, @"progressView");
obj.progressView = [NSNumber 42];

Writing giveObjectAProperty may not be "nearly impossible" but it sure isn't easy.

And of course the parent is talking about methods, not properties, but...same argument.

Yes, it is that simple! I have found the experience of calling my congresspeople to be very rewarding and impressive. In general I have been connected to a very knowledgeable and intelligent staffer with minutes of calling. I explain why I am calling and say that I hope the Senator will support my position and the staffer generally replies with a few questions, clarifications of the Senator's position, etc., and says that he/she will relay my comments.

Truly, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Call! It only takes a few minutes and you'll be glad you did.

I definitely wouldn't say that this bill 'fixes the DMCA', but it certainly corrects some of the most gratuitous issues. The DMCA doesn't explicitly affect linking to infringing content - that's mostly on the courts that have made that interpretation, even if the DMCA has helped to enable them.

Trying to revise or remove the DMCA wholesale would be a much more difficult undertaking, and correspondingly less likely to succeed.

(I recommend reading the bill to everyone, by the way. It's only five pages long.)
