> Getting all children outside for three hours every day is not realistically possible

Then something is very wrong.

- Walk (or cycle) to school: 10 minutes.
- Morning break: 20 minutes.
- Lunch: 45-60 minutes.
- Afternoon break: 20 minutes.
- Walk home from school: 10 minutes.

That's around 2 hours already, and that's structured time at school. Add a sports lesson two or three times a week, and add one hour playing outside after school every day.

In England, break and lunch was outdoors unless it was actually raining. (Very light drizzle doesn't count.) Being inside wasn't allowed until I was 16-17, in 2002.

I read an article in an old New Scientist on this topic, and it said bright light wasn't sufficient -- it had to be combined with open spaces, which let the peripheral vision be in focus at the same time as the core vision.
My education is in physics, and I work in industry. I would at least admit that I would not be very happy trying to do research in the social sciences.

"Live there?" Where is that? You can't live in a nation; it's not a place, but rather a set of people, of which you can be a member. You can live in a country. A nation doesn't imply a country; nations can be displaced. Furthermore, having a certain nationality which is tied to a country doesn't mean being a resident of that country. Perhaps not all 160,000 people want to actually live in that country; maybe some only want the nationality. If this new nation has very relaxed rules about residency for maintaining nationality, they might not even have to visit there very much, if at all.
Older public spaces and other third places were less consumerist though. Churches, clubs, parks, beaches, hunting/fishing cabins, etc. Not so aligned with urbanization.

Italy - where I live - has a lot of old housing stock. Some of it is very old. When something isn't right for the inhabitants, they modify it. Adding plumbing, combining apartments, adding or removing walls... you can do quite a few things.

> It is morally illogical to grant non-human values equivalent human moral value.

It's illogical to grant them equivalent rights (right to vote, basic education, etc.) but there's nothing illogical in granting non-human animals rights that are relevant to them.

There's a distinction between sentient and non-sentient beings. If it is accepted that an animal experiences pain and distress, and have the innate desire to seek comfort and avoid pain, then the logical thing to do is to grant them the right to be kept from intentional harm, just like we do with human animals, regardless of their cognitive abilities (we don't exclude mentally impaired humans from our moral community).
Thank you for providing the name for that concept ('Third Place'). It's been on my mind that these are becoming particularly important for people who work remotely and therefore don't even have a 'Second Place'.
Also hilarious is your interpreting refusal to deal with assholes with refusal to with people with different views. People are not owed dialog or interaction. Other people's time must be earned.
Psychology is a very broad area and it's not fair to judge it based upon Dr. Phil style counselling or literary criticism.

The psychologists I've worked with design experiments to attempt to determine fundamental mental capabilities in terms of perception, memory, spatial reasoning, etc. and how this can be applied to design safe and effective user interfaces, in particular for safety critical systems like aircraft.

Sure, the models they develop are likely just useful approximations, but it seems that models at the neuron level would be too unwieldy for these sorts of questions anyway.
I'm not sure if you're seriously looking for an answer. If you are, it's actually rather obvious: As long as there is a piece of unclaimed land, it is sufficient for a single person/organization/state to decide at some point in time to claim it for themselves, and from that point forward it is likely to stay claimed forever.

Over the course of human history, it is exceedingly likely that every piece of at least marginally potentially interesting land is claimed at some point.

Furthermore, only unused land can truly be no man's land, which is why it is a bit curious why you'd be so interested in no man's land in the first place. (As soon as you go there and do something remotely interesting with it, even if it's just camping there, it stops being no man's land and starts being de facto your land, until somebody challenges you to it.)

Creating a native deals app is the same as burning money. Literally. You might as well just go outside and burn it.

Creating a deals website isn't much better, but it's still better. It's much cheaper, cross-platform, cross-device, and much easier to drive traffic to it. Getting someone to download an app is way harder and more expensive than getting them to visit a website. Nothing about displaying deals requires a native app.

So for the frontend, it's going to be HTML5 and CSS. Doesn't sound like there would be AJAX functionality, so you don't need things like TypeScript, React, or whatever.

For the backend, it really doesn't matter. Ideally you'd do it yourself, for free, in Drupal or WordPress. Second to that would be to find a pre-built system that's available for purchase (Google around, I bet you can find "Groupon clone in [PHP/Python/Ruby]" somewhere).

And, worst-case scenario, you'd have someone write a backend. Since it's so simple, it doesn't really matter that much what backend they used. But there's really no reason to create a custom system for this.
There should be a "Both" option IMHO
Hopefully I'm not too late to weigh in on this one but I've experienced this personally for years.

I am a person that experiences motion sickness from most 3D environments if on a sufficiently large screen. The effect became noticeable once frame rates passed a certain level in the early 2000's and after that I was unable to play most FPS games.

Despite this I loved the Need for Speed franchise. Hot Pursuit on the PS3 ate up a lot of my free time. :) I could only use the game in one visual mode though... "Hood view", where the hood of the car remains visible at the bottom of the screen. That provided my brain with a fixed reference point and as a result I could spend hours in there.

When a following release of NFS for PS came out (I think it was Most Wanted 2012) they removed the hood view option. Five minutes into the game and I get a strong motion sickness headache. After searching a few other titles I found similar issues with all of them and gave up gaming.

I wrote EA and Criterion Games a couple times about this but never heard back. Unfortunately it was a deal breaker for me trying anything further in the franchise. I hope that game developers (especially with immersive VR now) take the time to find and test with someone like myself as tricks like this help a lot.
I'm surprised by how few are listed here and that "successful" wasn't even defined by any parameters in the initial question and no one has mentioned that yet. Does successful mean profitable? Reached some revenue target? Has grown organically by some amount? Didn't fail?

I'd love to pay for BBC as well, but they will not let me do it, so we pirate. Years ago we got a response about "overseas partners" being the stewards of their BBC brand and programs outside the UK, so they won't just let us buy BBC streaming or downloadable shows (even with DRM). The 'overseas partners' were/are primarily "BBC America" and various PBS channels.

These partners must be paying a HUGE amount for a handful of old programs, because to pass up streaming fees direct from consumers ... I'd just imagine the income would be much larger than selling to PBS stations. And hey, btw, I'd like Eastenders to be current, not 9 years behind what's happening now. My PBS station is 9 years behind, and apparently paying top dollar for that privilege. And 70+ hours a week of "changing rooms" reruns (which was happening in 2005 on BBC America) is insane.

Country-specific content deals will eventually die, but these last death throes are just painful to sit through.
This landing page fails the "what is it?" test. Seems like I might want this since it involves Docker and Macs, but I still don't know what it is. Yes, there's a video, but you should not have to watch a video to know what something is; worse still, the video doesn't even tell you what Kitematic is – it just tells you that it "helps you get started with Docker". Ok...

I would say that open source code base cannot be profitable in principle (and it should be completely open, like the Linux kernel, with all the new "hot" features development) but the services, you as a developer provide, could.

Or let's say that one's knowledge and skills are profitable, not the code itself.

The code should be open, so it could grow on the same pace as everything else grows, according to the real demand for features, like early FreeBSD or Linux or even MySQL grew, or even nginx before 1.0.

Why can't they use the command line at all?

My first job was at a call center where we trained literally anyone who applied to use command line DOS to take orders for sausage over the phone. This took three days to teach these people how to navigate a pretty extensive CLI interface. Many of them were highschool dropouts with GEDs. If they even attempted to use the mouse the computer would lock up. We had virtually zero issues.

It's astonishing that some people refuse to even open a terminal.
One thing that was striking to me was the map showing the male:female ratio among the black population in the US. Without using any actual statistical tools, it's apparent that areas with a higher black population also have fewer men for every woman.

I think modern lab standards are not nearly as horrible. The larger problem is not the harsh treatment, but the huge number of animals that are killed in labs nowadays. There is the prevalent push to publish more and more often, which requires more and more animals in order to report minute results. Rarely do researchers analyze their experiment data to exhaustion; they'd rather run a new experiment than try to figure it out from existing data. If we want to use animals less, we need 1) public availability of all experimental data and 2) more and better computational models that take the bottom-up approach to studying organisms and the brain. Until then we 'll keep piling up dead animals with reckless abandon.

It uses Laravel 4.2, MySQL, supervisord, and beanstalkd for those interested.

I would be happy with more reliable slower rail rather than high speed rail. If you know it's going to take 3 hours and you can get a seat, you can plan for that - it's when it might be anywhere between 1.5 and 5 hours, assuming your train isn't cancelled, and you might have to stand the whole way, that it becomes unpleasant.

From the wikipedia page for nation [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation]:

The word "nation" is sometimes used as synonym for:

State (polity) or sovereign state: a government which controls a specific territory, which may or may not be associated with any particular ethnic group

Country: a geographic territory, which may or may not have an affiliation with a government or ethnic group

Thus the phrase "nations of the world" could be referring to the top-level governments (as in the name for the United Nations), various large geographical territories, or various large ethnic groups of the planet.

In general, whenever I come across the word "nation" I assume it's being used colloquially to refer to "nation-state", unless the context is specifically related to ethnic nationalistic identities.
I think this is more interesting if the parameters of success is kept broad.

Please don't. I suspect, like many here, I find many interesting and useful project via posts like this. I especially dislike it when someone shares a story of their startup or project, but then doesn't include the name, so I can't put it in context.

That's not to say I'm in favor of blatant self promotion, but I think people on HN are more shy about their projects than they ought to be.
I think the real point is that "testing in production," more commonly known as "monitoring," has to happen anyway. So early on, if you have a choice between adding better, more complete monitoring and adding tests, even integration ones, the monitoring will prove more helpful once you deploy than the tests were. Don't get me wrong, it sucks having to manually perform integration tests but when a product resembles a website and is semi-automatically deployed (e.g. has staging servers with automatic deployment, rapid rollback deploys or a canary-server deployment model, a few minutes of caching and few to no expectations that the app operates perfectly as long as it can be fixed within half a day, well, that's a very different project. In that environment, the piece of mind monitoring provides (no client errors in production) largely outweighs having no monitoring, just tests (did I test everything? What about (obscure government agency) using (outdated version of IE) who is reporting that bug?). Of course, as code is more complex than a website, or where you begin to have significant JavaScript, having at minimum tests for success-paths will help prevent regressions for application-wide changes, e.g. adding PJAX to a site and missing an onload. It's just harder to justify tests until you really need them on some assignments.

I was stating the statement about the trend was incorrect.

Factual statements isn't throwing stones. The "Peaceful Rise" propaganda/party line really did stop awhile ago.
Au contraire, I've been casually following "micro nations" for decades, and attempts are often long remembered. This one is notable as it involves actual viable land (in contrast with artificial or new/fluke natural dry surfaces), which the surrounding countries just plain don't want. It's not just a rock or platform with a flag on it.
They should put a blur on the nose. Having it in focus just seems wrong and perhaps distracting from their goal of giving the brain what it expects. Heck, I just tried right now and I'm now old enough that I can't even get my nose into focus at all anymore (pretty sure I could when I was a child, lenses are getting harder to flex I guess).
8 Linux file managers to try
Redhat has really clever model, btw. Once, in times of RHEL3 and 4 they have tried to maintain zillion patches against vanilla kernel to be "Enterprise Linux", you know, so you could run Oracle cheap (a hot topic in that time). Then they have realized, that it is much smarter to give the patches to the mainstream, so everyone will benefit.

Fedora became a test-bed for a new technologies, to amortize the too rapid changes (systemd and other crap, you know), so they could provide stable and compatible RHEL versions for existing customers.

And Redhat is a service, not the code company.
None. I never click on stars.

Projects that I care about have developer mailing lists, and mailing lists where people review and discuss patches. I subscribe to those.

Projects that don't have that and only rely on GitHub are toy/non-serious projects that I don't care about.
