As someone who only sometimes attends church, I wonder why that has a higher risk of divorce than never attending or always attending. Maybe lack of commitment?

It's sad how much of a difference money makes. Ideally, money would have no bearing on love or marriage. I'd like to think that if I was well-off (or if my spouse was) and then something disastrous happened, that we would still support each other throughout.

Also, the "looks" thing is kind of surprising. Attractiveness is a binary prerequisite for dating (at least for me) but once married it wouldn't matter to me, in terms of keeping the relationship stable. What if one of you gets in an accident and is horribly disfigured or gains or loses a bunch of weight?

Lots of interesting data -- there are many other correlates I'd like to see. How do personality characteristics (BPD, narcissism, extraversion) correlate? How does constancy of morals/values correlate (someone whose values remain the same over many years vs someone who is always changing their values)?

What would be even more intriguing would be to find the subset of the population that describes themselves as having near-perfect, long-lasting marriages and compare those people to the general population. I would really love to see that.

My opinion is that most marriages dissolve when one (or both) people lose the ability (or never had it to begin with) to be empathetic toward the other person.

"setting public policy through executive orders...."

It is "appropriate" because the only way to ram this down our throats would be at the federal level... If small city A decides to ruin their roads from the perspective of people who matter, that being the vast majority who are drivers, people will simply move to city B and property values will compensate.
Huge increase of traffic on HN?
I have just noticed that compete.com shows an overwhelming augmentation of unique visitors on Hacker News in the last months.

https://siteanalytics.compete.com/news.ycombinator.com

I have not found much in HN submission history and I am not sure how to read this data:

* is compete.com data reliable?

* could this be artificial? (e.g. DDoS)

* is this related to a particular event?

* does 1M unique visitors makes sense?

This also may be relevant: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=hacker%20news
Two horses.
Yes, you're probably right - it's less comfortable to turn head often in a helmet. And I also suspect that this effect may be due to a helmet suppressing or distorting sound transmitted via skull bones, making it harder to locate precisely the sources of sound from behind. Hence this "blindfolded" feeling, although I admit that the helmet itself is barely visible.
Secret of a stable marriage: Invite 200+ attendees to your wedding while keeping the budget below 1000 USD.
As I understand it, Kloudless uses a middleware to convert the data. So data flows from your app trough the Kloudless cloud to e.g. Dropbox. Means that you really have to trust them. We are doing all the conversion in the client. No data ever flows via our servers and no third party can read your transferred files ;)

You have 1000 users and a server that can easily do the work 20000 users want it to do each day. Yet, every weekday between 08:00 and 9:00, your server is overloaded.

You buy a second server. Now, your server still is overloaded between 08:00 and 9:00 but fewer people use it between 07:00 and 08:00 and 09:00 and 10:00.

There are plenty of people avoiding the main traffic times for whom the annoyance of congestion is just a tiny bit larger than the annoyance of leaving home an hour earlier. Take away a bit of congestion and they move their schedule.

A couple of subjective thoughts - the only two points that don't jive for me are that spending huge amounts on a wedding significantly increase the likelihood of divorce, while having 200+ people at your wedding severely decreases it. It seems likely to me that the amount of people who attend the wedding is insignificant, but it can be a good indicator of the importance of close family and community of friends.

The only other thought is how church comes in to play. This is a touch of a sore spot, because my parents stayed in a bad marriage for probably a decade longer than necessary due to religious stigma. As it is, my mother still won't acknowledge her divorce to the church because she would be denied certain things that are important to her, personally.

So I'm not sure that religion makes a marriage stronger, it just places a higher degree of shame and stigma on divorce.

But again, these are just my personal observations, from someone happily married for a decade who has a big family, spent less than $10k on a wedding with less than 50 people, and is (and whose partner is) agnostic.
Another interesting statistic to add to this: divorce risk increases significantly the more sexual partners you've had before marriage: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2003.....

However, cohabitation and sex with your eventual spouse before marriage helps your chances.

This is all correlation, of course.

Actually I'm using a Macbook Pro. The problem with messing with scrolling is that my usual flick of the trackpad does not get me to the point that I expected to reach on the page. It's very mildly disorientating.

I was going to scroll down to the next section on your page anyway, so there doesn't appear to be any benefit in dictating exactly where I scroll to. Unless you have a very specific reason for overriding the scroll behaviour (eg. an interactive story), it's best to steer clear of it.
To remember that there are people that can and do pilot those jets regularly, before coming home to their family, gives me a kind of feeling of vertigo and envy, that my life (and the other peasants around me) is flat, onedimensional, boring and meaningless.

But soon I forget and resume watching Netflix.
As the OP said, it's not just mobile that's an issue. I'm also on MacBook air and it's annoying.

Why scrolljack in the first place? There's a reason why every "Show HN" with scrolljacking gets this complaint, and it's because it's extremely annoying. It literally adds nothing to your experience.

(Great idea though, I actually had a similar one myself. I think it's a very nice business model!)
Good novels. As a meta note I'd suggest splitting hard and soft sci fi... someone who likes KSR's mars trilogy (which needs to be on the list) is possibly not going to like ultra super soft stuff like stranger in a strange land and vice versa. Then there's the in between stuff like moon is a harsh mistress.

Its sort of like a religious books list. Its quite possible that a lot of devout followers aren't going to be amused by reading the competition, and if you want a survey textbook, just buy a textbook.
I use fpm to build aptly .deb packages, it is extremely simple to use compared to usual source package + build path.

This is a problem for Go programs, due to multiple unversioned (usually) dependencies on other Go libraries.
Enlightens on then on how you would solve the issue. You have a program, and the program is storing data and the "attacker" (here really the user himself) wants to bypass the policies enforced by the application. The attacker has access to both the binary of the app and the data.

What would you encrypt the data with that the user himself cannot also access? Without a secure encryption hardware module, there's little you can do except add additional layers of obscurity.

You could encrypt all the data with a key derived off the user's password, and require the user to re-enter the key if the app stops. That too could be broken.

You could store the images in some odd obfuscated format that only the app can understand. That too could be broken after some time.

You could never store any images on disk at all and fetch them only when requested. Then you have the third-party services imitating the app.

And yet there is no currently properly supported way to write desktop applications for Windows! MFC = obsolete, WinForms = maintenance mode, WPF = Dead on arrival, WinRT = Metro only.

For all the people saying "web is where it's at", there are some things that are simply still best done on desktop. And native development in iOS and Android is still going strong.

I've seen something similar like this for Keepass. They warned that it is not as secure as using Keepass directly (here is no warning) and I guess it is the same for 1Password. This gives more possibility for attack vectors is my guess.

Anything between £600 - £1200 (so far). We have the process nailed. I'm sure most will agree that the clients with lower budgets are generally more 'work'.

So what we do is have initial 2 hour project discovery meeting where we literally go through every page they want, how many pictures/ paragraphs are suitable for each page. We log all of this and send them the full content list of what is needed.

Wonderfully, we schedule the 'Platform Training' meeting (where we sign it over) exactly one week later and send them a content deadline for half-way through that week. No surprises that not a single client has yet to send any content through on time!, so (and we make this absolutely clear) we populate with lorum ipsum and stock imagery proofs to the exact discussed paragraph/image count per page.

We do the platform training with the dummy content, show them how to do everything (2 hours) and send them on their way. Monthly hosting (£12.00/month) to cover weebly fees.

We've found that with this 'package' we make no-bones about what they are getting (a template driven site, chosen by us - no design 'sign-off' etc..). They know the quality of our 'other work' (it's usually why they come to us) except we crucially figure out their budget VERY early on and can 'channel' into a specific category accordingly. It's nice having that other option.

It's going well so far, 4 clients that we would have turned away, £3.5k income that we would have lost and gone to a bedroom dev or smaller agency. The hours quoted have (amazingly) worked out to the hour for each of these projects (£60/hr rate) - except the latest, which is 2 hours under ATM. I can't ever remember a time where a £6,000+ site was ever on budget (we actually get our hourly rate on these small sites!!).
[Other dev here] - Rather more like the first you mentioned.

"So I'm not sure that religion makes a marriage stronger, it just places a higher degree of shame and stigma on divorce."

But perhaps any social pressure that encourages marriage would do the same thing? I've got quite a few friends that have had arranged marriages - they marry strangers and work to build a happy marriage from it because their families expect it.

On the other hand, "staying in a bad marriage" is a misnomer - there's not really such a thing as a bad marriage so much as selfish participants. When one more both of the partners refuse to work towards a better marriage, it's practically impossible to make that marriage last.

I concur, the combination of css + js + html is an nightmare especially if you are are trying to design a simple database-backed website for your startup. Webforms might have been hard to maintain for some, but at least it worked well. There was no need to figure out all the background stuff if you are not a professional developer. If I need a fancier website based on mvc, I would have hired a fullstack django developer instead.
Pretty funny. Potluck wedding?

That seems like too much of an effort, it's not like the submission is the greatest ever.

Sometimes it's obvious that submission was killed automatically for some reason (IP?), i.e. when it's a new user with the only submission to a good article from a respectable site.
I cut my teeth with VB 5/6. I still think there is nothing on the market that is as fast in creating applications.

If you did things properly (MVP! remember that?) it was quite maintainable. I still know of several VB apps still in service.
Same here, used VB6 in the past and pushed it to its limits, then .NET came along and ate its lunch, far superior in all ways, including speed of development.
Understood. Sorry for that. We are a small startup and the website was not our #1 focus. We'll try to improve it asap.
"this list is mostly "classics" category"

Well stated! But I found 6 books that I haven't read yet, so that will keep me busy for a few weeks.
Ironically, the Bene Israel (Indian Jews) often face severe discrimination from other Jewish groups when they go to Israel[0] .

Because they have been in India for so long, they don't "look" Jewish (ie, not like Ashkenazi or Sephardic or Mezrahi groups), so they aren't considered "real" Jews. Only recently have they been able to "prove" their status with blood tests.

It's all very sad.

Feedback: It's kind of hard to understand this statement. Your product is basically a client-side API that allows my application to use your API to integrate with a third-party storage service. So "cloud storage will be free forever" means your API is free to use forever for someone else's cloud storage? Presumably you make the code available to the customer to use and then restrict usage/distribution with a license?

> there's not really such a thing as a bad marriage so much as selfish participants

Exactly. See, I never worry about myself being selfish, but my biggest fear is that I will get married to someone who just quits caring about me or who "gets bored" (I can't stand that phrase) and leaves me.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll fix that asap. We focused on building a great product so far and didn't spend much time for the website.

The karma bullies can keep downvoting this all they want, but I definitely have had Netflix running in a browser on an ubuntu box without any modification before this announcement.

From a european point of view that is something the entire us-american culture embraces and grapples with vigorously, to the detriment of interactions among themselves and with other cultures. It would make sense that this is started and reinforced in school already.
I was very worried until I noticed that. Damn my young adventurous years!
> there's not really such a thing as a bad marriage so much as selfish participants.

I think this is a pretty bold statement. Is it not possible that two people might just never be able to get along with each other, no matter how hard they try?

Marriage are bonded over factors more than love and people in love get divorces. The money aspect of the study is simply showing that the more money a couple has the less likely non-love factors are able to break up a marriage. Seems completely reasonable to me.

Our service for developers is to offer them a single API to access "all" cloud storage providers. We care about the conversion and keeping the integrations up-to-date.

I read all Jules Verne novels I could get my hands on when I was 14-16 years old (for those who have not read Verne, they are very dry and detailed books).

Recently I discovered yet another, his dystopian novel: Paris in the Twentieth Century (written in 1863, first published 1994) and it totally blew my mind how interestingly prophetic some of his predictions for 100 ahead years were (and some of the predictions still might become true).
On the wedding one, I would have thought that the size of the wedding is possibly more of an indicator of the initial circumstances that anything else. If you were looking at weddings of 200+ people vs weddings without anyone else there you could probably take a fairly good guess that the couples involved are in totally different situations.
I haven't figured out how to use it yet, but the 2D editor I saw in a video that showed up when I sat on a bench was really cool. Efficient editing of the world around you is a really neat feature to have. I think the Starbound devs have an external tool to do that sort of thing, but having it internal is even better.
AFAIK WPF isn't dead, its popular with line of business apps. But yeah, disappointing there's been only minor improvements to it in the last 4 years, during which they've been focusing their efforts on WinRT.

P2P is a very bad choice of words for what you want to communicate.

You have to say something like "Your data will not pass through CloudRail".
I wonder how many of these factors are causation vs correlation. My guess is that, for example, that eloping doesn't ruin your marriage and having a big wedding doesn't improve it; it's just that people who elope are reflecting the reality that their attitude is "we're in this alone", and people who have a big wedding are reflecting their confidence and their sense that friends' and families' support is important.

The authors are overwhelmingly male (90%), and the titles are overwhelmingly old.

That's not to say that they're bad (though at least one is objectively bad). Just old and male.

Here's three for diversity:

- Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga. Character-driven space opera, with side-trips into mystery, thriller, and (gasp) romance. Start with the short story collection _Borders of Infinity_ to get a taste for it.

- Elizabeth Bear -- lots of variety, but _Carnival_ and _Dust_ are excellent. Respectively, they are an espionage/police procedural and a political thriller on a doomed starship.

- Linda Nagata -- she's best known for the epic nanotech series (The Bohr-Maker, Limit of Vision, Tech Heaven...) but recently started a near-future series about the impact of cybernetics, prosthetics and early AI (First Light).
I don't deny that doping still goes on, but people are forced to resort to less effective means than they used to. Take the example of Rashid Ramzi--it is likely that he was not the only doper, just a more aggressive one. Why was he caught when others were not?

> speeds haven't really slowed down

This isn't wholly true. Have you seen a 3:26.00 1500m, a 7:20 3000m, or a sub-12:40 5000m lately?
