They definitely are. Cancerous masses tend to ramp up blood vessel production because that's how they survive. In fact, there are tests, like angiography, that are done to identify areas of increased blood flow, which may indicate cancerous areas.

However, there hasn't really been a link shown between cancer and heart disease, like hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, etc, -- i.e. the two diseases haven't been shown to correlate pathophysiologically. But there is data showing a correlation between chemotherapy and heart disease, which could certainly contribute to the similarity in distributions in mortality between heart disease and cancer. For instance, doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic agent infamously known for causing dilated cardiomyopathy.
Funny, terrorism didn't even make the list ;)
Yeah, couldn't agree more, we tried Cappuccino out also a few years ago, but big download size scared us of deploying our prototype.
It's kind of stupid to react positively to this news just because you hate marketers or ads. The truth is that incoming keywords from Google provide a whole host of functionality and analytics for site owners as well. (I realize they offer Webmaster Tools, but the fact is that getting incoming keywords for individual visitors provides all kinds of leverage for personalization, improving SEO, and understanding user behavior that aggregated, offline reports will never come close to doing.)

The fact Google is still providing this data to people who do paid advertising shows this isn't about privacy at all, but is about closing off a valuable source of information for some other reason, most likely just under the guise of privacy.

At a high level, it's not clear that this type of information being "leaked" to sites was ever anything other than a function of the way Google worked from v1, where the query was passed as a GET parameter. So it's debatable if this was a good design decision in the first place. But Pandora's box was opened. Due to this design decision an absolutely immeasurable about of code has been built around this source of information (for good and evil) and calling this a "data apocalypse" isn't really that hyperbolic for people relying upon it.
No, we can't be "honest" and accept your wild claim about the best use of capital.

The entire economy is based on the market determining the efficient allocation of capital. This is not an absolute truth, but an approximation based on hundreds of years of theoretical and empirical work. In the absence of significant market frictions that would drive capital away from the AEC industry (and low profits are not a market friction) there is no reason to think that the current allocation of capital is inefficient.
I think the consensus here is that I know absolutely nothing about web design; but I do it myself anyway.
My side business depends on SEO, but I also care enough about privacy to use DuckDuckGo (which also doesn't share keyword data), so I'm ok with the decision overall. Webmaster tools is pretty sufficient.

Privacy has trade-offs. Marketers/data miners will have to adapt to it if their customers demand it.
> Who'd filibuster in her support?

Since the Senate doesn't require "active" filibusters in practice, just the absence of sufficient votes to invoke cloture, you'd just ask who'd use Senate procedure to keep her.

> This campaign would be a form of pressure. She's starting to feel a little heat, today she called for a full NSA review:

That's probably a response to the White House saying that reforms are necessary (which itself is probably a result of recent revelations about what the NSA monitoring of allied leaders and the ensuing diplomatic crisis), not to any public campaign.
Currently, I think the nutrition facts label is really hard to understand. What I did is mocked up a couple of labels that might be fop(front of package).

What is a little different is the presence of the ratio of sugar to fiber [1] and carb to fiber [2]. The citation for [1] isn't that good, but the discussion on [2] is better.

When talking with some oncologists from UCLA, they state that a major concern they have is the low amount of fiber people are consuming and there is some academic literature that more fiber is beneficial.

The goal is to encourage people to eat items which are healthier for them by showing different data points on a label.

Thoughts or opinions?

Not again. If marketers stop using the web there is no web. There is no Google, bing, twitter, Facebook, reddit,stack overflow, hordes of startups that use ads to monetize, plethora of blogs and therefore VC companies and whole startup ecosystem would bust.

Do I want a more efficient system of transfer of commercial information? Yes.
Is there is better system than marketing at the present moment? No.

One of my hats is a marketer and I am shocked how the industry is misrepresented here on HN and on reddit. The level of arguments is comparable too.
It could also be that FY2013 was just a dud for Apple product updates. Starting with the iPhone 5, that was released in FY2012 but primarily sold in FY2013, there were considerable supply issues along with some blowback on the new Lighting connector. Moving onto the iPad Mini we have a low resolution tablet with a -1 generation processor at a premium price. All indications are it sold well but I'm not sure it spoke well of Apple's reputation selling quality products. The display was simply not good and a quick glance could inform any non-technical people of that. We also got the iPad 4 which was merely a CPU upgrade with no reduction in weight or thickness.

Then we have the new iMac which also faced some supply problems and delays and offered customers something they probably didn't even care about -- a thinner desktop all-in-one PC. IIRC the Ivy Bridge update to the Mac Mini eliminated a SKU that offered a semi-decent GPU. Then Apple disappeared for a very long time and later in the year introduced Haswell updates to only the MacBook Airs leaving informed MacBook Pro would-be buyers facing old technology with a premium price tag.

Next we have the iPhone 5C which in most ways is a step backwards from the premium quality iPhone 4S (or would be iPhone 5) that occupied that price point. Contract free the device is totally non-competitive on pricing compared to better Android devices. The 5S was quite a good -S model upgrade however consumers are starting to get wise to the tick tock strategy and perhaps are choosing to wait for the iPhone 6 upgrade.

I've been watching Apple for quite a while now and FY2013 was not a great year for product upgrades. I'm actually kind of surprised they only took a 2% hit on profits.
They're not demanding developer like focus, they're asking people not to be huge assholes.
No I believe SSL is a separate feature that was always-on a while back (or at least optionally so).

This feature creates a redirect which hides the original keyword in the referring URL. Which has always been available at https://encrypted.google.com but now has become default at google.com.

The encrypted subdomain confused people, considering it's only adding a redirect, not more encryption.
White House OKd spying on allies, U.S. intelligence officials say

Show HN: A new way to learn Chinese with Whizz Learning
>It's a contradiction, according to Rishi Lakhani, a search consultant:

>... their idea of privacy is ridiculous to say the least. You can't offer privacy, but still SELL the data to AdWords advertisers. It's the same user. It's the same action.

The idea that clicking on an ad is the same thing as clicking on a link is where I'll have to disagree with this guy.
Reminds me of humans.txt.
Great job! Probably the simplest flat file CMS to use raw HTML and PHP, even compared to Pico, Kirby and Statamic.
The title is a bit misleading :) I guess you don't want to hear about my experiences with GW-BASIC :P

I think that, whichever choice you take, being motivated and actually doing stuff will be the best :)

You have to decide on what you want to do first (do you have a startup in mind? working as a programmer? why do you want to learn to program?).

With programming, just taking classes definitely doesn't cut it, the joy is wanting to make the computer do something and overcoming the obstacles to get there (and hopefully getting several "aha" moments along the way).

I think that if I had to start today, there are lots of awesome online resources (but I don't know them, so I can't recommend any). No idea about hacker bootcamps.
I don't see how it matters if your asset position is identical in either trial.
This isn't a byproduct of turning on SSL. If both Google and the site linked to by Google are secure, then the referrer would be intact, and contain the search terms, which is where Google Analytics and every other tracker has picked them up for 15+ years.

Google purposely added another level of indirection between their search result page and the search result links themselves. When you click, a bit of JavaScript rewrites the link to a script at google.com/url in order to wipe the real referring URL. Should Google want to do that for reasons other than masking search terms, like recording clickstream data from their SERPs, they could easily add the search term to that google.com/url link's query string. That's exactly what they do for ads -- they transfer search terms through the redirect's referrer even on SSL connections.
I'm pretty sure it was CGI.
This is complete and utter fiction.
Yap, branching from within Jira 6.1 is great. With the OnDemand suite this all just works flawlessly too!
'We're Really Screwed Now': NSA's Best Friend Just Shivved The Spies
On second thought, I wonder if it's because of instinctive sympathy for fellow elites. Else maybe it's just the diplomatic pressure from those elites.
There's also a gap I'm (and I'm sure most designers, unless they do everything by hand) sitting in, which is I know enough about web design to leverage UI frameworks like Bootstrap/Foundation to make nice designs. I think people forget that bootstrap and zurb are easily customizable.

It starts as a prototype in vanilla zurb (usually), then gets themed into something pretty.
The aim is to make them cheaper, and with less injury to workers
The search term is not in the referring URL, SSL or not. Google removed it from organic search, by a combination of moving it out of the query string into a URL hash, and by adding a level of redirection between the search result page and the linked website.
Obama May Ban Spying on Heads of Allied States
One of the National Security Agency's biggest defenders in Congress is suddenly at odds with the agency and calling for a top-to-bottom review of U.S. spy programs. And her long-time friends and allies are completely mystified by the switch.

"We're really screwed now," one NSA official told The Cable. "You know things are bad when the few friends you've got disappear without a trace in the dead of night and leave no forwarding address."

In a pointed statement issued today, Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Dianne Feinstein said she was "totally opposed" to gathering intelligence on foreign leaders and said it was "a big problem" if President Obama didn't know the NSA was monitoring the phone calls of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She said the United States should only be spying on foreign leaders with hostile countries, or in an emergency, and even then the president should personally approve the surveillance.
Yet go is a dependency nightmare! Dealing with more than one developer on a project with dependencies is incredibly difficult due to the insane decision to not support locking a dependency to a specific version.
Perceived price certainly varies greatly depending on the buyer.

A professional musician will not think twice about paying $50 for an awesome tab software, but to me, a hobbyist guitar player, paying more than $20 would be a stretch. This has nothing to do with the quality of the product.

The Humble Bundle pricing model has shown that such an approach can be extraordinarily successful, but I'm not sure how well it can be extended to other software products.
Web design and web development are two very different things that overlap heavily. Judging from the options you have provided I suggest you pay someone to do it and focus on what you do well.
It's not so common because:

- It requires a running JVM to compile it all down (not a bad thing).

- Can take upwards of a second to compile depending on code base size and compression setting (even if the JVM is warm).

- Kills all ability to debug. Looks like "a.call().call()" etc.

That said, ClojureScript has been fun to work with, but IMO, Google Closure as dependency thwarts a lot of people looking to try it out like they might try CoffeeScript or TypeScript.
Ahh true. Instant did change things, didn't it? I'm still used to omnibars that hide the URL from me on Google searches that I forget it's not all /search?q= any more. Good point, good point.

Though, given Google's native apps, perhaps this was inevitable? I mean, there was always a percentage of traffic that would seem organic yet be from Google...
> If marketers stop using the web there is no web.

There was a web before marketers.

I liked it.
This is a pretty shallow analysis of his point. His point is that insofar as it related to the privacy of propagating keyword information, the action of a user clicking an ad or an organic search result doesn't seem any different. If the keywords a user searches for is private information, then why should this privacy be off the table when they click on an ad?
Deadmau5 teases his new live production software he worked on with Microsoft
Where'd you get the wrong idea that it was a Startup?

AngualrJS was a side project of Misko, who was working at Google on the DoubleClick team, until he bet he could rewrite DoubleClick in 1 or 2 (can't remember) weeks using his framework and cut down on the LOC/code complexity. He eventually did and they decided to go full time on the framework. They discussed this at the start of their Google IO presetation.
I've tried a few.

The problem with Themeforest is how muddled and complicated the HTML DOM in themes usually are - and even if the design is intuitive, it's not yours, so it's rather difficult to own completely. With that said, I've used it for some excellent WordPress projects before, and if you are willing to pay there is quality work there.

I prefer using a bootstrap framework to get stuff out there. Depending on the project, I'll spend some time customizing the defaults, adding plugins, etc. If the project is small enough, I won't even bother with that.
Bringing in a design agency is only useful is you have VC cash to burn. It's usually far cheaper/effective to find a design freelancer to partner with. A decent designer can help you create a logo as well, which is an essential step, and something that's difficult for laymen to pull off well.

Remember the enemy of progress is the perfect. A side project/startup needs to iterate as fast as possible, so it's far better to throw something out there than to languish in design mode for months before giving up on your cool idea.

For my side projects, my rule of thumb is:
a) the site isn't embarrassingly bad, and could be publicly associated with me.
b) site design took less than 20% of my overall effort on the project.
Google can easily afford lobbyists. And they're in America, where cash is king. Doesn't take a Google Map to see where that leads. (But at least they'll arrive there automatically.)
Here it is on YouTube (Quicktime movie didn't have sound for me). Quality isn't as high, though.

The best way to learn is to have a need to learn. What made you initially want to learn to code? Is it a business idea? An idea you had for an app or game?

There are many different types of programming; as well as many different levels.

Web programming isn't going away for a while, and it can be useful for doing quite a lot of things. I wrote a quick start guide for beginners like yourself [1] a while ago, that you might find useful.

I didn't even know HTML six years ago, and have been working full time in the industry for almost three years now. I started out trying to force a piece of forum software into being a community-based website. I quickly got into writing custom add-ons for that forum software. I just kept moving further and further up the food chain until I got to where I am today: being paid to build multiple, complex web applications.

The toughest part about learning something completely new is not knowing the right questions to ask. It can be insanely frustrating at times. But if you can stick with it, all the anguish, self-doubt, and sleepless nights will be worth it. If you really want something, you can do anything.

On a related note, you should probably just read Schopenhauer in general.

His philosophical works are very inaccessible (to those unprepared) but his essays are brilliant and casually consumable.

FYI: He was the philosopher who influenced Nietzsche the most.
I've used them all but settled on Themeforest. Yes you can make your own, but why would you when you can choose something that's already well designed for a couple of dollars. Save the design practice for the app itself.
It doesn't seem to get as much attention in your products, to be fair:

Google wants website owners to use Webmaster Tools so that it can connect websites with individuals. The end goal is to make it harder for people to manipulate search results in a way that would result in an inferior user experience for searchers.

For many years, Google has been a gold mine to a profession called "SEO". It still is, but every single day it is getting harder to extract value from it if all you do is trying to get your site to the top of the SERPs. Eventually it will be very expensive to trick Google and this is why I see many professional SEOs starting work at big brands or doing consulting for them. It's easier to get good rankings for a site that provides great value to users than for another spammy endeavor.

I was also involved in this business many years ago, but mainly to rank my sites that were getting traffic anyway because of the value they provided to users. Instead of being angry, I think that SEOs should be thankful that Google made it possible for them to take advantage of their service and even helped them along the way — I am. There is nothing wrong in charging people money for services that they use to make money themselves.

SEO should always only be a tool that helps you reach users with your quality product, not your main way of making a living because in itself it creates no value to society.
As far as mechanics go, I've found a great compromise between the power and convenience of a CMS and the simplicity of a static page: using a static site generator. I personally prefer Hakyll[1], as you might have guessed :P.

This makes managing a structured site easy without having to configure a complicated server. Of course, it also means you can't have much dynamic content. For something simple--say comments--you could use an external service like Disqus, but you won't be able to do much beyond that without running your own server.

> Democrats vote for her because they prefer her to a Republican. However, we recently changed how our primary system works. If there were an anti-surveillance Democrat that ran in the primary, and if enough people were to wake up, things would look very different - a lot of people I talked to last go 'round didn't realize our primary system had changed.

If she was running for, say, a House district focussed on San Francisco, the primary-system changes might make a difference. Running for a statewide seat, they really don't make a lot of difference -- it would be just as easy for a Democrat with more appeal to the left to unseat her in the old-style partisan primary than in California's non-partisan primary.

> enough Republicans vote for DwiF because good god please anyone but F

Strategically voting Republicans would be taking a pretty big risk of doing that, because that means they stand a good chance of ending up with a general electing of DwiF vs. F, and the realistic anti-surveillance Democratic candidates tend to be more opposed to Republican positions in every other area than Feinstein is.

People who ran websites used to be able to link specific searches to specific sales or subscriptions. That means you can assign actual revenue numbers to different groups of search terms. Now, you have no way to make that link. You know which search terms bring traffic to the site, but not which among all those terms are linked to your revenue.

With the first data set, you can see that people searching for "red widgets" buy your product, while people searching for "blue widgets" don't. You stop writing about blue widgets, make more content about red widgets, go out and blog about red widgets, run ads about red widgets, and both increase your traffic and your revenue.

With the second data set, you see "red widgets" and "blue widgets" are bringing people to your site. Maybe "blue widgets" even brings much more traffic, and you assume that's where your sales are coming from. You could spend months optimizing content, building audience and running marketing campaigns about blue widgets before you realize they weren't your customers at all.
She's totally opposed to spying on foreign leaders, even though foreign leaders are in the class of targets that the NSA is specifically supposed to spy on; you know, foreigners.

And she's totally OK with spying on US citizens, that class of targets that the NSA is specifically not supposed to be spying on.

It's Bizarro Congress!
