Some of that surprised me as well. But... these sorts of micro-rankings of countries that all have similar "operating systems" are not very useful. The real lesson here is that OECD countries which by and large practice liberal democracy and free markets are tightly clustered on most quality of life measurements, while countries that don't tend to cluster lower down. This is true of countries with vastly different cultural legacies, and even countries like Japan that has liberal demoracy successfully forced on them at gun point.

It makes you wonder just what Buffet thinks he's talking about. I doubt he knows.
Here's what I think happened in your post:

a) You made a lot of speculative statements that are based on no facts of any kind.

Interesting. I had a bacterial infection (chronic) lately and was thinking of doing biochemistry as there was no cure in the market for my infection. Surprisingly, honey did a lot more than any class of antibiotics that I tried.

Can I reach you by email?
You're basically buying tweets at that point, and I'm completely against the concept. I go the exact opposite route with my community and promise users they'll never have to jump through a single hoop. In return, I get a lot of respect and loyal members. People know when you're trying to use them. It leaves a bad taste in their mouth, and they don't forget. A good reputation is better than a few thousand likes or tweets.

You can read a lot of different stories about it on Erowid. Anyway a lot of people treat mushrooms as a party drug, so I assume those people don't consider themselves to have had profound visions.

There does seem to be a subculture of people who take the visions way too seriously. They believe it's giving knowledge of an external reality. I think it's a little bit like a reset button - your beliefs and thinking patterns are disrupted, particularly the ones which you don't normally question. This may happen consciously (as it did with the OP) but I suspect a lot of it is unconscious.

I've done it just a handful of times. The most profound experience was negative-positive. I didn't take proper precautions, and I have a tendency to negative thoughts which was highly accentuated by the experience. Think terror worse than any horror movie for several hours (although with some nice parts too). But confronting your demons, literally, has its advantages. Actually more than anything else it's pushed me to try to take control of those negative thoughts.

EDIT: FYI there is no such thing as getting physically addicted to magic mushrooms. Quite the opposite, there are regular reports of people kicking addictions as a result.

The guru does provide very indirect meta-information. Everyone's inaction cannot be taken as information on the first day, but inaction over time can.

Consider the case with 100 brown and 1 blue person (+ guru). As soon as the guru speaks, the blue person knows their eye colour and leaves.

Consider the case with 100 brown and 2 blue people. After the guru speaks, both of the blue people still don't know their own eye colour - the guru could have been thinking of the other one. So both blue people stay on the island on the first night. The other one staying on the island is information to the each of the blue people. Because the other blue one didn't leave on the first night, they must be also unsure - and therefore they must have blue eyes themselves. Both leave on second night.

They have a captive audience (bored passengers in airlines) and the shiny things they sell appeal to consumers with no self-restraint. The value they provide is nearly zero. They exist and make money due to a complete lack of competition and an endless stream of idiots.

This is the only useful comment in this entire thread.
As I've mentioned, I spent a few weeks counting my calories to see whether that was actually true or not. The fact is, I lose more weight with no exercise and a 1700-2100 calorie diet of a controlled composition, than I did running 3 days a week on a 1200-1400 calorie diet of uncontrolled composition. Nutritional science is not nearly as nailed down as you seem to think it is, and frankly the claim that our metabolic systems are magically inaffected by the types of food we choose to eat (unlike every other part of our body) comes off as more than a bit silly when you simultaneously admit that other substances can affect metabolism. I won't claim to have all the answers, but you sure as heck don't have them either.
> they're willing to ship something that is kind of shitty because of a cost-benefit analysis, or they can't even see that it's shitty

Your use of the word "shitty" here is highly subjective though. The evidence seems to be that most (or at very least a non-trivial subset of) consumers don't know, don't care or even actively prefer the "shitty" experience. Thus one could even argue that Samsung, far from being unaware or lazy is actively choosing this as the most rational and logical path to profits. It may just be that the people such as yourself are in the 10% of the population who are a) particularly sensitive to this sort of thing and b) extremely used to the iPhone level of experience.

Now I myself also find the stock Samsung experience incredibly ugly and laggy. The interesting thing is that you can remedy it in about 30 seconds by dragging a few widgets off the screen, disabling a few useless services and/or putting an alternative launcher on. Thus most of the lagginess is only "skin deep" and not a fundamental property of their phones. I think internally Samsung actually does very good engineering and optimization of their phones. At some point the marketing department gets a hold of the phone and completely ruins it, but thankfully it is too far down the chain for them to do any fundamental damage to it.
There seems to be a lot of concern in this discussion about charities that have too much overhead, or people who work for charities that pull in salaries competitive with for-profit. This econtalk with Dan Pallotta presents an interesting counter-narrative. He says the non-profit sector is held back by attitudes that discourage competing for top talent, risk-taking, and innovation. If any group would be sympathetic to these arguments it might be HN readers, but I suspect that these biases are pretty persistent.

>Distortion and misleading details ...but I won't accept it

well, then you are lost even without starting as distortion and misleading details are unavoidable in the environment where prevalent force uses lies and secrecy as the main mode of operation, i.e. like CIA destroying video tapes as a response to Congress' request for the tapes. Though the fact that they destroyed the tapes describes the content of the tapes very precisely. Use your mind, Luke, as it is the only thing that can resist Force.
This could become a bit more useful if you could add clickable links in the message. Or other files (like PDF) instead of an image. Or if it worked in the opposite direction - "tweet to decrease the number of available views". Why? To create some kind of scarcity, if the content is really valuable.

I don't know anything about the specifics here but if it helps interest that is fixed is fixed pro term. So "fixed interest mortgage rate of 5%" is actually 5% per annum.

If they don't pay it back they continue to accrue a [presumably compounded] 10% charge.
It's getting downvoted because it's far too similar-sounding to the dreaded S word.

I think the reason the wealthy by and large won't "put their efforts into reforming tax systems and global finance in order to help make the world more fair and just" is precisely because they believe the world already is "fair and just." In a world where money is the single largest broadcaster of a whole slew of societal signals --your caste, your worth, your success, your legitimacy-- finding yourself with lots of money tends to reinforce the notion that you must be doing it right already. To the extent that there are problems in the world, it seems the wealthy feel almost universally as if their own resources and philosophies are best suited for remedying them, rather than governments or other collective structures or any contrasting philosophies. This precludes ever examining whether "tax systems and global finance" --or other attitudes and philosophies of the wealthy-- are the actual perpetrators of those problems. Peter Buffet argues that such philosophical transplantation is the cause of the problems the transplantation is trying to fix and that any sincere attempts to remedy society's ills must address it.

Honestly, I don't think the wealthy, on the whole, are really concerned about fairness and justice in any context that parts them from their wealth. If egalitarianism was the highest value and penultimate goal, then the concept of extracting surplus value from others' labour and keeping it for yourself would be thrown out entirely. Suggest that however, and you get thrown under the bus for being a pinko-commie-socialist-marxist-anarchist-class-warfaring-moocher-taker-leech.
How much is a high deductible?

Then you should have phrased your question to reflect the information you wanted to know. Whether I answered what you meant to ask or not should not matter - a "Thanks!" and an upvote should have been forthcoming because a member of the community answered your "general question" with quality information. There's no value in being snarky or disrespectful with anyone here just because (a) you asked a generic question, and (b) someone answered with a generic answer.

Yeah, there may be a misunderstanding - I meant "more open" only in the sense that a HTML/CSS/JS-based platform is almost certainly going to be an easier target for more developers (which will add the "meat" to the "skeleton").

EDIT: I just read that Ubuntu actually supports _both_ approaches: HTML5 apps AND native apps. Therefor, it should actually be able to attract more developers.

"So were the notes worth anything?"

You mean were the worth anything when considered from the perspective of the ordinary state of consciousness?

Clearly in one particular altered state of consciousness they were considered worth something.

So the question becomes which state of consciousness trumps which other state of consciousness? Or which one gets to decide what's worthy and what's not?

Often, people who see themselves as "hard headed realists" think it's obvious that the sober, oridinary state of consciousness is the one and only legitimate state of consciousness, and the rest are mere delusions, and not worthy of being trusted or relied upon for important decisions and the business of life.

On the other hand, there are people who think that while in an altered state of consciousness, they can see through the bullshit of consensus reality and the ordinary state of consciousness. To them, it is the ordinary state of consciousness that is deluded, or even pathological or psychotic.

Which one is right? And how are the products of and insights from these various states of consciousness to be judged? Can an insight gained in state of consciousness X be legitimately evaluated in state of consciousness Y? Do such evaluations even make sense?

I'm not sure there are any easy answers to these questions.
It seems like preferring a uniformly flat style is a more "non-technical" point of view; a more technically-oriented perspective would recognize the quasi-3D beveling of controls as a semantic cue indicating that those elements are functional controls meant to be interacted with, rather than static content.

"shiny things they sell appeal to consumers with no self-restraint."

Where are you drawing this conclusion from? Perhaps there are people who like to spend money and buy things because it gives them a rush and makes them feel good. Same as people will spend money on other feel good things (like a ball game or a concert, a movie or a play or play an online game).

What exactly is wrong with buying "shiny things"?

And they don't lack competition as many of the things in the catalog can be located elsewhere. After all you still need to order and have it shipped to you.

Look stores in the terminal have a business model that depends on a captive audience as well and the pricing for many items is certainly higher than it would be in other locations. Why shouldn't it be? This is capitalism and there is nothing wrong with it at all.
I can easily see stereographic images where you have to focus on a plane in front of the picture, but with this implementation you should focus behind the picture. That's hard for me to do, and this implementation doesn't allow this to be toggled.
If I'm not mistaken, a question of the form "If I asked you Q, would you say A?" is the same as asking "Q xor (A means yes) xor (you are speaking the truth)". That is a direct question, which is part of the enumeration.

> And you haven't answered about 4. Or 9.

Umm...yes? I didn't intend to. But if you insist, 4 is not a logic puzzle, and 9 is easily solved in principle but possibly prohibitively long to calculate in practice. Compared to humans, computers are relatively less bad at finding a guaranteed winning move than at playing Go well, so you can't necessarily conclude that because humans play Go better than computers, they would also be able to solve that puzzle faster than computers.
The FDA is already creating incentives for antibiotic research.

Ask HN: Blog from scratch or use Framework/CMS
I'm looking to create my own blog for prompting myself to the world as for as looking for a job and stuff. Nowadays it seems like employers would rather see your work on Github or blog than a degree. If I want to create my own website or blog should I build it from scratch using PHP which I am familiar with or use Wordpress or some framework that makes the job easy for you. I see a lot of developers going with the latter rather than the former. Thanks guys could really use your advice on this one.
Interesting that many of those things have converged in the form of portable computing already.

Future stock of tenants (people who can't afford to buy) requires home owners to rent to them. In fact, housing affordability can be problematic here because investors are usually in a stronger position to buy a property to rent it, outbidding someone wanting to live there. You might be aware of negative gearing, too.

Just curious, were your parents an influence in how you view property? I imagine here that many 18-30s whose parents bought property would be more likely to buy for themselves.

Thinking about it, the only friends I can think of immediately who doesn't own their own house here (out of say 20-30 people) are still studying or recently finished. And both would be planning to buy within 2-3 years.
It would be much easier to play this if you could pause without blocking the image.
By that logic, the FSF created a pseudo-proprietary environment where code from several notable projects including the Linux Kernel, have no way of using code or even migrating to the GPLv3.
I don't blame anyone except the FSF for this massive oversight in license compatibility.

They also haven't solved that LibreDWG issue yet, even though they hold all the cards and it would be of literally no effort on their part to fix this mess.

I heard of people going psychotic; just as pot can trigger anxiety, it seems to hallucinogens may trigger bigger breakdowns.

Unfortunately, we can't really measure the incidence or tell what these effects are because the drugs are illegal - so we don't know how many people used them or what exactly they consumed.

Maybe a lower risk path is starting with yoga and meditation (and stop immediately if it appears you are experiencing a psychotic episode; avoid teachers that think this isn't possible).
On one hand (one X to rule them all): Have we learned nothing from the mistakes of the past yet?

The site looks good. Nice and clean, as well as intuitive.

What you've sort of got to do is wait for an idea to come along. It might take a long time, but it's worth waiting. Otherwise, reach out to other people interested in startups in your area. Get involved and see who you can meet. Some one might want to get you in on something they're working on. I've had this happen before, though I have declined such requests as I am working on my own projects.

I'm sixteen (so two years younger than you) and age hasn't been an issue yet, apart from when dealing with laws regarding banks and business. No doubters and no haters so far.
I say why reinvent the wheel. There are hundreds of pre-built themes/templates out there for creating a portfolio or CV with WordPress. If you want to showcase your skills you can always build your own theme or customize a free template to meet your needs.

On the other hand, if you are looking just to do something simple like a single page CV site with no blog or other capabilities, then building your own page may be an easier approach. However, if you have longer term goals and want to add to the site I would go with WordPress.
