It is certainly interesting from a "segregation" viewpoint.

If the Amish were immigrants arriving in American today they would (Warning: generalization incoming) probably be demonized by a decent % of the population for refusing to integrate into mainstream American society, the fact they arrived a long time ago insulates them from that.

From reading about the selective service / social security bit it is almost like they are not US citizens and their lands are not US lands. Weird situation.

Yes, and apparently you can take advantage of React's faster/smarter rendering (http://www.williambrownstreet.net/blog/2014/04/faster-angula...)

That said, I would be uncomfortable mixing something as opinionated as Angular with another framework that expects to "own" the DOM/rendering. My guess is that Angular will implement their own version of VDOM in the next few months since it shows demonstrably better performance.

Based on the price structures at the time, it made a certain mad sense.
If you speak Italian head over noisefromamerika and search “modello superfisso”, there you can see why this reasoning is flawed. Prices of stuff are not fixed, they are a function of demand and offer. The true problem here is how you innovate enough to make the offer high enough that prices will drop. Instead, the writer is focusing on the myth of the 10% owning the 90% and he gets lost in yet another useless complain about spreading the wealth. Go look at why health services are so expensive in US, hints: monopolies, artificially low number of doctors, lobbies, patents…

By the way, about 44% of my gross salary is managed by the State (tax and social contribution). How much more does the writer want to tax people in order to “help” the poor?
If people don't have a soul, it still is a problem, because you are still killing a person. Why should I care that my exact clone will be living my life, if I'll be vaporized? And consider another scenario, as described in "Into the Silent Land" - what if there's a malfunction and the clone is created, but I am not immediately destroyed - should I then voluntarily agree to be killed just to make sure there's only one of myself?

> Costly new longevity drugs could help the wealthy live 120 years or more – but will everyone else die young?

Drug research is costly, but it's not wealthy benefactors of the clinical application that pay for it. Some research is privately funded, much is government funded but it's also costly to fail to pay for it.

The age gap due to wealth discussed in the article is not related to the cost to the individual of drug research and development.

Once the research is done, most drugs become inexpensive to produce and if they prevent the burden of ageing on healthcare and society. Reason to fund gerontology research if it decreases healthcare expenditure.

The then minor cost could be subsidised and there would be little argument in limiting its availability beyond that of aspirin and clean drinking water.

The current longevity gap due to poverty/environment discussed isn't a reason to discount increases in healthspan/lifespan that might benefit the rich more immediately.

Gerontology/drug research is not mutually exclusive of improving access to education, mental health and reducing pollution etc.

That some conditions are economically risky is not a prejudice, that's my whole point. Choosing the healthier person for a position is a perfectly rational thing to do, and increasing insurance rates with higher risks due to their health situation also is perfectly rational (and note that that's not just limited to health insurance) - you'd have to turn the whole economic system on its head to fix that.

Pretty much this. AngularJS abstracts DOM manipulation away from the user; by adding React to an AngularJS project, you're giving up on that abstraction. I consider React a sacrifice of abstraction / ease of development in favor of performance.

I think AngularJS will adopt a similar strategy for their 2.0 development effort, maybe even a 1.x point release. But I haven't looked at the angular development process for a while now.
You turn to the desk head and say "Boss, I just lost $16,000." and he says "Don't worry. It's happened before, it'll happen again."

Uber is actually a good example of how existing regulations can be a formidable barrier to startups; or even any kind of innovation. You are not just free to offer a new product or service that competes with existing ones. The incumbents will have the existing regulations on their side and use them to shut you down.

Yes, I had a professional coach and I find professional coaching process very useful, because it helps you to verify your own beliefs and actions, in a way you won't be able to do it yourself, neither with your friends or business partners. At the same time, I am aware that there are plenty of people that call themselves 'business/life/name-it coaches' having no idea what professional coaching is.

If you are looking for an experienced and professional coach, first of all you should look for a person with accreditation of any big international coach organisation, e.g. ICF [1] is one of the biggest organisation that sets professional coaching standards.

You should also understand how professional coaching differs from pseudo-coaching, so if a 'business coach' offers you to share their knowledge or give you an advice, they are NOT really a professional coach [2].

And this is the moment when you realize, that there is a profession called "professional coaching" and a life coaching, business coaching, executive coaching, etc. are only branding/marketing titles, and if a coach is certified/accredited by a large coaching organisation, they should use exactly the same tools to help their clients achieve their goals (regardless of their 'marketing title').

I disagree with this. React abstracts away DOM manipulation just as well as Angular does at a high level. When you dive deeper (i.e. building components/directives) React continues to abstract it away, whereas Angular reveals it.

In fact, React is able to get superior performance because the DOM is abstracted so far away.
> It's is a bit troubling that the EFF didn't present the entire issue

Never assume any group is not doing this. Everyone makes more effort to present the facts that support their case/cause than they do those against/neutral. The EFF are better about not denying the truths they don't like than many similarly vocal groups, but don't expect them to tell you the facts that don't support their position.

> What the FBI and other 3 letter agencies don't have anything more important to do

They can't chose the laws that they concentrate on, really. The "don't you have something more important to do officer" argument (as often sung by petty criminals) is bunkum. They enact the law, all of it, and the reason they are chasing the people committing lesser offences (in the offender's eyes at least) is because people are committing lesser offences.

> "Selling is legal fucking is legal so why isn't selling fucking legal?"

This is probably the answer to a certain extent: legalise it, regulate it to try protect both the workers and the punters, and potentially tax it to cover the cost of that regulation.

Though the legalisation argument as it is usually presented is rather simplistic, and the effects it would have on major crime (for example people trafficking) seems vastly over-stated IMO.
radio frequency
Cargo bikes seem great if you're doing the whole trip in them, but not really appropriate for a trip that involves using a light rail or bus as well, like Caltrain.
The 741 has quite a few current mirrors for bias/gain, so the bias points would be much more sensitive to transistor parameter mismatch than to wiring neatness. Also, discrete PNP transistors tend to be different from the lateral PNP's in a bipolar transistor IC process.

I suppose the value in ordering such a kit is that the devices shipped are pre-matched etc, so the hobbyist may reasonably expect a first-pass success.

The 741 is dominant-pole compensated, so even if there were wiring-related phase shifts at high frequencies there will be no loop gain in that region to cause instability.
If you have a known deficiency, sure, but a quick web search will show you that it's arguable what level is deficient, and that it's arguable that supplementation has a good effect on anyone that's not suffering from a few specific conditions.

So I'll repeat - unless you have a known deficiency or a restricted diet, they're a waste of time and money, and the industry is snake-oil.

> The incumbents will have the existing regulations on their side and use them to shut you down.

Absolutely, but you must consider the possibility that in addition to turf protection, those regulations actually serve a social purpose. Not every innovation is good and every regulation is bad. Sometimes regulation is formalized valuable lessons learned over many years. As someone who sees Uber as an exploitative venture (I may be wrong), I actually find those regulations the last wall slowing down the huns.

Genuinely interested here. Would you mind explaining the terminology, or even better, expand on your thoughts in a blog post or something?

Bitcoin exchanges are generally very illiquid, in the meaning that little funds are kept on the exchanges. (Because there are no regulations and guarantees.) Would you not expect "huge holes" in such an order book? Why not?

What does "price level" mean? I read it as the distance between orders in the order book, but then your comment does not make sense. You are surprised these levels are farther apart than the bid/ask spread. Why?

What does "unsophisticated" mean? It seems to me you mean this in a specific sense rather than the dictionary meaning of the word. How is it that no discernible pattern is indicative of a less sophisticated market? In the layman definition of the word, one would expect the opposite.

I don't know if other markets behave the same but Bitcoin exchanges have large dark components to them. If the price moves dramatically, lots of coins move in/out of the exchanges. Some people believe the days-destroyed metric is indicative of these movements, but in practice things are of course not that simple.

As you might understand, I do dabble with Bitcoin trading on the side on a pure hobbyist basis and I would be very interested in your views on this. I don't know if there is a personal message function on the HN board but any answer would be appreciated. I think a lot of traders on Bitstamp and other exchanges are hobbyists too, but I have the feeling that something happened during the runup to the October rally and would not be surprised if there are quite a few pros among us now.

I think their "PR" is just really good, for some reason. I feel like most Americans that live near Amish communities (I did growing up) might gently joke about how weird it is to live like that, but I think we tend to think of them as a romanticized version of pre-industrial American farmers, despite that not being very accurate.

I don't think they are considered not US citizens or their lands not US lands. They pay local and state property taxes on their land.
