Good brands independently list how much EPA and DHA are in each pill. Bad ones say "1000mg". That is useless, you can end up with minimal EPA and DHA and a bunch of filler oils. Meh.

Best I've found is ~600mg EPA and 400mg of DHA per capsule.

Edit: Good brands are purified, heavy metals should not be a concern.
Oh, so I don't get it, measured by dollars in vs dollars out my NetApp friend returned 50% on his investment of $4,500 in six months for an annualized rate of return of 100%. How is that not better than 3% municipal bonds?

Coming from the perspective of a startup that is building a product, future risk/estimated damage from DOS attacks is not worth any of today's efforts to prevent. I mean, weren't they all able to fix it after the fact and not suffer much in the end?

These are problems you only run into if you've got a successful product (which happens very rarely) - and solving these problems before you have users might not be a good allocation of engineering resources for startups.

I liken it to making a system that scales in advance to millions of concurrent users when you haven't even got one.

No it isn't. Building high density housing is nothing like building more freeways.

Edit: Many people argue in favor of building restrictions on the basis of environmental concerns, but limiting housing in SF is just pushing more people out to places like Sacramento, which are suburban waste lands and models of inefficiency.
In theory I agree with you. I think in practice that's not so much the case.

Drug companies fund the vast majority of drug research and they're much happier with already proven drugs (which are already paid for and have zero risk) than new drugs which aren't approved by regulators nor proven profitable yet.

If it were possible to fund the R&D for new drugs the same way tech/VC is done these days I would 100% agree with you. But the cost is so high and the timeline so long that no sane VC would write those checks and as a result it's big institutions only.

So what ends up happening is that we overpay for drugs so that the drug companies have enough money to spend 2x what they do on R&D on advertising, telling us which overpriced drugs we need.

And I'll just finish that thought since there are real engineers involved who probably had good intentions and skills: (as the article stated) the Google engineers were trying to improve compatibility and also seemed to follow the path of what other platforms (Java) had done in he past.

Code reviews happen every day in the industry, and often times it's amazing how many flaws and defects are found, but often internally and not exposed for the world to see and speculate on. The nature of open source is that this is all out in the open, and that's fine. It's also good that Google is actively paying bounties on discovering/fixing these types of bugs in a variety of major open source projects.
The merits of higher level programming are hard to explain to a Blub programmer, but the differences are trivial to explain. I can tell a C programmer that Lisp has automatic memory management, higher order functions, macros, and atoms. She may not know why those matter, but I can tell her they exist. I can tell a Python programmer that Haskell has pure functions, Monads, Arrows, and an advanced type system. He'll think those will make his life harder, but he'll know they're there.

What makes GGplot different? I know that I won't understand why this difference matters until I've played with it, but it will at least tell me where to start playing.
The metric I lean on the most is the one published by Andong at http://www.andong.co.uk/dvorak/Default.aspx. I guess that's odd since I spent the least amount of time talking about it and put it at the bottom of the page. It is focused on metrics of efficiency and effort. If you wanted speed, you might want to look at things like finger distance and home row usage more closely, in which case Arensito or Colemak might have an edge.
I'm an undergraduate, and a student oyster monthly pass is just shy of £90 — It's more like £120 for an 'Adult'.

Pretty ridiculous that they don't subsidise essential things like these more, for students, as the cost of living here is already so stupidly high.
Good brands are purified and do not have any smell. Buying stuff from reputable brands I've never had a whiff of anything.

Wait, what? There is a reason things are the way they are. People do not want you to live there, affordably. Period. Cities are "designed" to be expensive and exclusive. That, in part is their value.

I disagree, I think there's plenty of redevelopment. Just look at the controversies over allowing development on separate tax parcels, leading to new houses being built in side yards and back yards. There's also (on Capitol Hill at least) plenty of cases where single-family homes are being torn down for townhouses and apartments.
Hey, so... this is a sorta good time to ask. I assume this website's visualization was meant to spark some discussion. Do people on HN support/condemn the BART strike(s)? I've always been under the impression that the huge salaries being reported were some how an exaggeration. Because of this, I support the BART strike(s)... but perhaps my impression is wrong. Also, the strike doesn't impact me nearly as much as some other people. git pull/commit/push works just as good at home as in the office; thus I avoid dealing with the insane traffic from EastBay to San Francisco that is made even more insane by BART shutting down. At the same time, I don't think anyone wants disgruntled BART employees doing anything dangerous so paying them to have a "comfortable" life is also a good idea.

Basically, I want to know if BART employees are being overpaid for what they do. This is probably more of an opinion thing than any kind of fact one way or another.

I would not call this a dark pattern. You browse backwards through your personal library hierarchy, what happens when you reach the top of your hierarchy? It takes you to the entire world of music. Your personal library is a subset of the world. Sneaky? A bit, but hardly a "dark pattern". It isn't being nefarious about it, just saying "Oh, so you browsed all the way up and didn't find anything you wanted? Let us help."

Buffett is a perfect example of the problem: to be in the position to have those opportunities, you need a base and you need seed money. Having a family and friends round means you don't have the same type of pressure (they are generally far more willing to tolerate risk, give more room for experimentation, and are willing to write off lots of losses)

For context, since another commenter suggested "Ad Tracking - on/off", the limit ad tracking option doesn't actually prevent all tracking.

Originally a big push back against the social security system was that it would assign a number to every individual allowing each to be tracked by the federal government. Seems to me the original founders intended that the federal government dealt directly with the states and NEVER had anything to do with individual citizens. How much the US has changed....

I think you miscategorize the opposition here. The argument isn't that Gates didn't work hard. The issue is that by din of his family's socioeconomic status, he was presented with opportunities that most people didn't have.

If you want to put it in numerical terms: going from 100M to 100B is arguably easier than going from -10K to +100M (even though there is less money involved)
How was OP supposed to take responsibility for a compromised server without access to the server?
Good point. I didn't say I agree with it, but I don't know enough to disagree as well. I just know about their rationalization for it.

Many people wrote software in the 1970s and started software companies in the 1970s.

He is not suggesting his privilege wrote Gates software for him, but that privilege gave Gates a substantial advantage over the large number of other people writing software and starting software companies at the same time.

His privilege is unlikely to have been a sufficient condition to explain his success, but it is also entirely unrealistic to assume that his privileged background did not provide him with a number of benefits, down to even basic stuff like growing up in an environment where success and ambition is expected and normal.

Read W. Edwards Deming, and learn statistics. Apply it to how you look at your life. Apply Deming to how you look at work, management, and other people.

Yes, it's pretty broad, and it's a neverending learning process. But become a systems thinker and you'll be able to see how the world works scientifically, instead of based on false personal opinions or narrow perspectives.

Kind of a crappy article. It focuses on new drug innovation when most of the markup we are seeing in the US is for old drugs. As an individual you can't negotiate when you need a drug.

It's up to a regulatory body to make sure the manufacturers aren't exploiting their position in the market.

Hopefully it's a good competitor to these (people tell me so), but I hadn't used them before embarking on Veusz! I mainly got annoyed with the state of command-line plotting facilities in astronomy and unix (like IDL, gnuplot, etc).

I started with the idea that graphs should be built in an object-oriented fashion out of widgets. The widgets are arranged in a tree, a page holds a graph or a grid of graphs and a graph has axes and plotting widgets, and so on. Each widget has a set of properties and formatting settings which can be changed. It's now gained more data manipulation abilities. Data is stored in named datasets, linked to external files or entered manually, or you can even capture it from sockets or external programs. You can easily write a plugin to load your own file format. There are a set of data manipulation plugins for filtering and so on (again you can write your own). When plotting, you can just enter expressions to investigate your data.

Most of Veusz is written in Python with PyQt. There's a bit of C++ code to handle the inner loops, but it's pretty responsive. The next release should support Python 3, too.

One nice thing is that the saved files are simply python commands to regenerate the plot, so it's easy for the user to automate making plots. You can also use it as a python module for plotting, using the same command interface as the saved plots use.

> The top 0.0001% gained their wealth not by inheriting it

How did you come to that conclusion? I looked for that in the figures, but I couldn’t find what percentage came into money from an inheritance. Perhaps it’s placed in the 12% ‘Diversified/Other’ category, but the impression I got from the article was that they tallied how the money was earned in the first place, not where the ones holding the purse got it from.

I believe your interpretation of the article in this aspect is incorrect. For instance, 4 of the top 10 spots are taken up by members of the Walton family. Those people inherited their wealth from Bud and Sam Walton, the founders of Wal*Mart.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walton_family
Oh, yes - definitely. I just picked Salsa20 as an example because I already had benchmark data for my machine, and I am familiar with it.

But even TLS 1.2 won't help because 1.2 doesn't include ciphers that are screaming-fast without hardware-acceleration. AES-GCM is faster than AES-128-CBC/HMAC-SHA1, but Salsa20-256/HMAC-SHA1 is still twice as fast on my machine. Now if the AES-NI instruction set is available, then AES-GCM handily beats everything by a large margin. (Of course, using hardware acceleration, AES-128-CBC/HMAC-SHA1 is marginally faster than Salsa20-256/HMAC-SHA1, again on my machine.)

The ultimate point is that, without the AES-NI instruction set, new ciphers are just about the only way to get really good TLS performance.
The privilege of having a well-to-do family gives you the ability to take more risks, knowing that if they fail you have a cushion to fall on.

I worked with someone who failed businesses over and over, each time going back to live off his family's wealth for a bit until trying the next businesses, until finally one of them hit and made tons of money. If you ask him, he'll tell you he didn't inherit a cent, and was a self-made millionaire. Technically accurate, but doesn't tell the full story.

Where they talk about how hard it is to disable iOS ad tracking.
Electronic textbooks are rubbish compared to paper textbooks. They win only on weight and ease of copying (they should win on price, but the electronic version is often more expensive than the paper version). I have many of my textbooks in both electronic and paper format and the electronic version is what I use when I'm away from my paper, as the "better than nothing" backup.

The usability of a paper textbook is far superior. Easier to add my own notes to (notes which, I might add, I can be sure will be there the next time I read it, and the next, and forever), easier to write and draw on, easier to add my own coloured sticky tabs, easier to have five or six open at once, easier to literally put my fingers in it and flick back and forth to compare, and a fixed format that I know will be usable five, ten, and fifty years from now. Also more pleasant to read (except for those grey market overseas editions which sometimes are not well printed and on bad paper, but at one-tenth the price it's a fair trade-off!).
They are public employees. Wouldn't it be a bit weirder to expect people to pay taxes without knowing what they were spent on?
People take the internet too seriously. It used to be a fun place, I promise. And there used to be lots of terrible shareware games you could buy on CD-ROM or floppy disk, and they were often much, much worse than this game. Take these games for what they are, which is basically like the little puzzles on the back of a cereal box.

> During peak hours trains run every 15 or 30 minutes and even the night-time gap isn't terribly long (stops running at midnight, starts again at 3am).

BARTs night time gap at the terminus of most lines is, I think, roughly midnight to 4am, so its not all that different.

> I'm not sure if the Bay Area has comparable density to the DC-Philly-NY-Boston corridor

Not even close. The East Coast corridor you name is the most densely populated region of its size in the US, by a wide margin.
which one do you buy and how much are they?
If this were posted anywhere else but Hacker News, I'd agree. But this site has a downright pathological hatred of it. It's like listening to conservatives banging on about how terrible liberals are.
Isn't it true? "Oakland is fine, just don't go to [bad neighborhood in Oakland]" is just a more localized form of "The Bay Area is safe, just don't go to Oakland" (a premise that most people here seem to accept).

"PA is safe, just don't go to Philly", "Philly is safe, just don't go to North Philly", "North Philly is safe, just don't leave Temple's campus"... etc. It's all just a matter of scale. You could break it down by block if you wanted to.
I personally think hiring more BART employees and expanding the network (creating construction jobs) would be better then the current BART employees making more money (except for maybe those at the very bottom).

I also think they lost a lot of public support by striking. I think canvasing the platforms to appeal to the public while continuing operations would have been a better tactic.
Yes: at least on the latest version of iOS, the animation delay makes it hard to accidentally click on the button. Not a dark pattern.
The thing that bothers me is that it only has information for people working in government related jobs. For example, you can also get the name, salary, and title of all state workers. I find that kind of wrong.

Presidio is 3 sqm, GG & GGNRA probably about the same, plus Diamond Heights, Vistacion, Merced, Sutro... So more likely mid-30's sqm.

I can well remember a half decade ago when the kids were ranting about the prices in Cupertino, Palo Alto and Menlo Park. I wonder what would happen if folks demanded bulldozing some of those more-expensive-than-SF low-density neighborhoods to accommodate...
Yes!!! That's something I really think is going on.
I really want to know the base-salary; not the potential health-care, plus 401k, plus something-else, that makes it all look huge.
Yes, that also fits my experience in Ghana.
> the rising share of the Forbes 400 List accounted for by technology and finance supports theories that explain America’s rising income inequality by how technology has favored the accumulation of wealth and made certain sectors more scaleable. Tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin account for a rising share of new fortunes.

Reading that reminded me of this: http://www.theonion.com/articles/economists-advise-nations-p...
Public employee salary is public knowledge: http://www.mercurynews.com/salaries/bay-area

As an aside, I think the hush-hush nature of salary is pretty silly to begin with, and really only hurts employees.
Year-to-year income of the top 1% is probably a poor measure of "staying on top".

I would like to see those numbers controlled for wealth. Some of those people whose incomes move in and out of the top 1% are just in boom-or-bust jobs or own boom-or-bust businesses or investments. Others are big earners who recently retired to extremely comfortable fixed incomes.

Neither category really fits what I would think of as someone losing his or her "on top" status.

On the other hand, moving from a high-income high cost-of-living area (SF or NYC) to a lower-income, low cost-of-living area (Boulder, KC, or Charlotte) will technically move you out of the 1% while improving your standard of living.

You can build real estate gradually, starting with one, two, three apartments paid for with your job and rent your tenants pay. At some point, pretty early you could stop working but if you don't you can buy additional apartments faster. During first generation, I think, you could buy around 10 if you have a good job. Your children will be able buy faster, their grandchildren even faster.
