We have a API that is currently in MVP stage (very early) that you can access to create typeforms by POSTing JSON to our endpoint. You can get access to it today by going here: http://typeform.io/landing/

We think that by leveraging the creation of typeforms and collection of results via API, you can build your own, customized backend on top of Typeform I/O and you'll be able to do all the things you're looking for.

Shoot me an email at victor@typeform.com if you have any questions you'd like to discuss privately. Otherwise, I hope I answered your questions.
It is an absolute disgrace that people are limited in their ability to travel where they want to simply because they happened to be born in a certain place. If you look at that and don't see how this is basically a prison system, you are just endlessly ignorant.

HN does have ads, just not a lot of them. Once or twice a day there's a recruiting ad for a YC firm inserted among the submitted stories. Doesn't have comments or upvote/flag buttons, and is just inserted between the regular stories according to some algorithm. Similar format to the way Twitter displays ads inserted among tweets that look like a tweet, except YC only makes the space available to companies in its incubator, rather than selling it.

I had four surgeries last year. In all cases I was given a price quote plus a ballpark on the cost of incidentals (things purchased outside the hospital, e.g. antibiotics to consume at home). For example, I was told that my spine surgery would cost 1.4 lac only. The final bill: https://imgur.com/Dbkrmo7

In all cases the final price agreed with my initial quote down to the rupee. The cost of the incidentals was also within the ballpark that I was told (and minor in any case - e.g. 1.4 lac for surgery and 2-3k for post surgery pills).

One of the wonderful things about India is that the medical system is almost entirely consumer driven - you have a problem, you pay the doctor, and he does his thing. Customers choose a doctor based (in part) on price, resulting in price competition. Nonsense like refusing a price quote will result in customers walking away.

Given a choice, I'll always choose to consume medicine in India. It's just a vastly superior system to anyplace else I've tried.
A Trick for Higher SAT Scores? Unfortunately No
Refining a language or programming paradigm requires a philosophical or scientific bent. Not much money in that. Most people just want to get a job done and go home at 5pm.

Edit: Bright side, I think polyglot programming is more popular now than ever in history. In the past you learned one language and that was 20 years of your career before you went into management. Your identity was wrapped up in being a "VB person", "C", "COBOL", or "Java/C# person" or "Rubyist" .

There still is language identity politics but I think Ruby might have been the last of the One True Religions, now the frontier is all over the place between Python, Ruby, Node, Java, Golang, c#, etc.

Depending on your background you may prefer to start with primitive recursive function (and then partial recursive function) or finite-state machine. Some books on computability/decidability theory start with those and introduce Turing machines only after.

Great point in the article on the difficulty of perceiving just how rapidly things are changing.

A few weeks ago at a social event I asked friends how they thought the rapid changes in technology over the last ten years had changed their life. The average age of these friends was at least 60 and no one had any concrete examples.

Last week I was visiting relatives and asked my grandson the same question. He immediately started listing things like cell phones, social media, much better gaming machines.

Many of my friends also seem to have difficulty perceiving how the politics and economic issues are changing rapidly. Normalcy bias?
Napster filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and blamed their "enormous legal fees" as the primary cause. (Outside of, you know, having any actual revenue.) Kazaa was in the same boat.

It's true, they did participate in some lawsuits, but they were going to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of legal activity (the very purpose of which was to drain them of resources.) Appeals, filings in multiple districts, etc.

Back to Google/Youtube -- Google had the resources to sustain any sort of legal onslaught by the RIAA. In fact, more so as those companies started to see their profits decline steadily during the mid 2000s, and the prospect of winning a protracted legal battle wasn't so certain. As a bully, it's much easier to take the little kids' lunch money, but not so much fun when you encounter a much bigger kid on the playground.

Your explanation holds for almost every major company - maximize profits.

Instead, be more specific. There are companies which target the high-end. This is often done through a mixture of selling an image, using higher quality materials, improved attention to detail, and support.

There are also companies that target the low-end, and the medium part of the scale. On the low-end you want to maximize volume, and reduce or eliminate support. (Ever tried to get support for Google's free services?)

Then there are companies that target the business users, or education users, who have different requirements than home users.

Each of these niches has its own strategy to "earn as much profit as possible and be rich".
>I wonder what would happen if this form of housing became more popular.

Simple. Due to liability/insurance/fire-safety concerns, it would be cracked down upon. Where not cracked down upon, it would develop into a shady black market.

Millennials overall, therefore, are not increasingly living in urban neighborhoods

I've seen articles that argue this, but I think the bigger issue is that Millenials can't, because it's too expensive: http://www.amazon.com/Rent-Too-Damn-High-Matters-ebook/dp/B0... and municipalities simply won't let anyone build housing that millenials can't afford.

Except... for exurbs, which don't have existing veto players. Consider: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2015/03/hou... :

Unlike most other big cities in America, Houston has no zoning code, so it is quick to respond to demand for housing and office space. Last year authorities in the Houston metropolitan area, with a population of 6.2m, issued permits to build 64,000 homes. The entire state of California, with a population of 39m, issued just 83,000.

People move to Houston and exurbs because they can. They don't move to say New York and San Francisco and Seattle because those cities are so expensive, regardless of other preferences.

The reasoning always offered for treating the database as a dumb store with no intelligence has been about portability. Which is fine if you are selling third party software meant to be installed onto an existing customer's database. But for all other use cases, not using the features of the platform is a mistake.

Why we give up on our bigger goals
Western Europe != rest of the world.

The Indian system is a 1 billion payer system. The single price is also fixed and usually written on the wall, or maybe in a big book of prices. You ask for a price quote, receive it, pay that much and get it done. If the price is too high you go elsewhere.

It works nearly perfectly. For any medical conditions I have that permit flight, I'm voting for it with a plane ticket.

I have to say, I don't know a huge amount about Vietnamese culture, but I would say it is one of the least patriarchal/most matriarchal Asian societies.

Case in point, in relevance to HN: I knew someone who was sourcing electronic parts from there. Japanese companies have set up their "outsourced" manufacturing there, with electronics plants meeting some ISO standards, etc. There is a heavy female:male predominance at many of these plants.
The browser, by default, styles most content pretty well. It's the designers who have asked for and gotten all of the tools which break how our web looks, via CSS and JavaScript. If we really wanted the browsers to decide how the content should look, then we shouldn't have given the designers these tools in the first place.

The "let the browser decide" ship has sailed, and the designers won (with our support, I might add). All we can do now is use those a same tools to take back control.
I wonder why you would love to own a car, given the other problems you've pointed out.
The number of countries that you can enter without a visa might not be the best metric.

For example, if you have a US or Signapore passport, you might be able to enter a lot of countries without a visa, but Brazil is not one of them. Brazil is obviously a hugely important country, so that seems like a notable disadvantage. EU citizens can enter Brazil without a visa.

Additionally, there are several countries that have special (higher) visa fees for processing US passports.

Having a Schengen passport is also pretty sweet if you want to move to a different Schengen country.

Finally, if you get kidnapped for a random, you don't want to have to rely on a US passport! (Then again, if you get kidnapped by North Korea, Bill Clinton might personally fly over to negotiate your release.)
Is this not something that Google is truing to do with Android ?
Absolutely — let's hope so. (Of course, there are plenty of public transport systems that could run automated but don't owing to regulations or unionization -- a relative of mine used to work as a driver on BART, which essentially involved reading and occasionally pressing a "deadman" button.)

You can easily imagine the cost of taxi service going down to the marginal cost of fuel and vehicle wear-and-tear, which would be far cheaper than private ownership. But I suggest that will ALSO vastly increase passenger miles. (It might yet reduce the carbon footprint of car manufacture.)

The biggest cost for driving is time (gas, etc., a distant second). Efficient taxis will lead to less car pooling, more trips (because they will be less expensive in money and time -- you can watch TV, read, or chat with friends while driving).

It's hard to see how this can possibly reduce passenger miles.

Also imagine the increase in drug abuse! Now a pub crawl can continue while driving, and on the way home.
Thanks for this, great resource - although a little saddening there so many different categories! Updated the original article to include the link.
Having lived quite some years in Houston, I see it as just another example of the problem with NIMBYs and zoning stalling urban development, not an example of a liberalized, pro-development city, except (like in many places) in the exurbs. Houston claims to have no zoning, but that is not really true. Whether you call them "zoning" or invent a euphemism for them, there are... regulations on type of construction: minimum-setback requirements, minimum parking requirements, building-to-land ratios, traffic impact rules, etc. that make it difficult to build high-density housing in most of the city. There are the usual NIMBY problems as well. Attempting to get even just a light-rail line built has run into loads of whining and lawsuits from people who don't want it near them.

Another recent-ish factor is that Texas law and judges' insane attachment to property rights, to the extent of including various intangible property rights, has a perhaps counterintuitively anti-development impact. Neighbors can take new developments to court on the theory that the new development has damaged some of their own property's value, e.g. by producing increased traffic or blocking views (some of this originally came out of a very broad interpretation of "regulatory takings", but has extended to private litigation). For example, last year, a group of homeowners won $1.2 million from the developer of a new condo tower: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article...

It is, however, relatively easy to build new single-family homes in the exurbs ~20-30 miles from the city, which is what the vast majority of those 64,000 new-home permits are for. These technically count as "Houston", because Texas law is very annexation-friendly, so Houston has annexed most of its suburbs and exurbs out to a radius of ~30 miles. But that's sort-of like counting a new subdivision being built in Walnut Creek as an example of development progress in San Francisco.
Kozen's book that has been mentioned is very good. I also recommend Sipser's "Introduction to the Theory of Computation".

It goes from Deterministic Finite Automata (equivalent in power to regular expressions in their purest sense, as opposed to POSIX regexps) to Context-Free Grammars and then finally Turing Machines. So this will give an idea of the hierarchy that TMs sit in.

Also, there are plenty of variations of Turing Machines with lots of cool properties. If you want to have a look, try searching for "Non-Deterministic Turing Machines", "Probabilistic Turing Machines", or "Alternating Turing Machines".
Car production continues to climb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry#World_motor...

There was a slowdown in 08, 09, and then back to growth. Internationally, it is expected to keep growing according to the auto manufacturers. Growing markets will account for a lot of that, for example in India auto ownership is at 1/10th the US and expected to continue to grow for a long time.

I don't consider it "unsafe", or problematic in any way, that http://en.wikipedia.org/ gets you English wikipedia even if you access it from a German IP, whereas http://de.wikipedia.org/ gets you German wikipedia even if you access it from an Australian IP. There are plenty of websites that will not give you the page you request no matter what you ask for, if they think you should be going to a different page. That's idiotic.

JavaScript in a browser + DevTools offer a similar environment to Smalltalk + Squeak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeak

One can change everything, and manipulate even the UI. Even the DevTools in all browsers nowadays are HTML5 iframes.

Manipulating the objects and meta/prototype objects are features that both languages allow.

Though they are different, and afaik only JS is called a prototype based programming language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming
Yes. Many things in the world exist because the majority thinks it's a good idea. Doesn't mean it is. 200 years ago the majority thought slavery was ok. I'm still yet to see anyone who'd convince me why is it that I need to get a permission from a bureaucrat just to see my friend, when my friend doesn't approve of that policy and never voted for anything like that to be instituted.

Me not visiting my friend more often doesn't protect a single soul. All the while, criminals with legalized money buy residencies and citizenship left and right. Tell me more about how that protects anyone even remotely.
I've always thought this kind of comparison wasn't as meaningful as "how many square km of the planet does your passport grant you access to? Countries vary in size too much.
Website annotating is a feature people keep reinventing every few years. (e.g. rbutr as the most recent example, but there have been several before.) It usually founders on (2) getting sued by people who don't like the annotations on their website (1) no way to actually monetise this.

The US is pretty much the only country that uses polygraphs with any frequency. In Europe [1] they are not used. The US needs to stop using the bogus devices.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph#Europe
It seems like Moore's-law-like trend can get us to telescopes by 2050 that can detect the chemical composition of exo-planets. Significant oxygen would be a sign, as on Earth, of ongoing chemical respiration from life - otherwise O2 would react and decay to other forms without being replenished.

There would still be the possibility that the presence of oxygen was geologic in nature, and if we sampled a billion exo-planets, it's reasonable that some could have an exotic geology to cause this 'false positive'.

The next step might be to look for a pattern in the carbon-cycle connected with orbits: e.g on Earth the North vs. South hemisphere have different amounts of plant life, and we see C02 wobble several ppm in summer vs. winter. Getting accurate readings of exo-planets to the ppm level might take a while for telescope technology to acheive. For these reasons, I'd say 2100 is a good estimate for when we would have the ability to sample 1B exoplanets, and promote at least one to the rank of 'strong possibility of harboring life'.
