> incentivized the healthcare system to hand these out like candy with anyone who used the word "pain, back pain or anxiety"

It's all well and good to blame big pharma, but the problem isn't an incentivised healthcare scheme, the problem is there's a lack of awareness and follow up care associated with the people who are prescribed these drugs. In Ireland I was put through weeks of agony trying out various strengths of painkillers before they decided to give me Oxycodene, which had me back on my feet and in work. There's still people becoming addicted to these drugs who aren't given these drugs just because they are asked to.

The biggest problem I saw was that my GP decided that when my back pain was resolved after an operation he decided I was finished with the painkillers as of right now. No weaning off process, no care to ensure that I was coping without the tablets other than the pain.

furthermore, when I was put on them, my doctor mentioned in passing that they were addictive - Nobody mentioned to me that I could end up with a chronic addiction to them when they put me on them. As is always the case; education and information availability will solve a huge amount of the problems, along with better management when withdrawing from opioids (that doesn't require me to sign up to a rehab program)
I don't see anything feminism related in this article. Neither anyone blamed feminism (or women in general) in the comment section (as a time of writing). Sorry to disappoint you, but not all problems in the world are feminism related.
Perhaps I should have been more verbose. The information being asked is nowhere to be found through the official channels. The only mention of collisions and objects is in the terms document. I believe it's safe to assume the Lily doesn't have that and they made sure to add clauses that shield them against such claims (that it failed to avoid collisions).

I just tried to contribute with relevant information and got two sarcastic replies in return. Well done, folks.
My hat is off to Frondo and notahacker. I've occasionally (regrettably, foolishly) tried to argue it out with the "taxation is theft" folks, and this is the first time I've seen one of them actually give up from exhaustion. I'm sure he'll recharge and come back tomorrow once he looks up the next argument in his playbook, but even temporary victories must be savored.

Sorry, itistoday2, I'm sure you're a nice person in person, but the argument you're making is obnoxious. Have you noticed how people get really annoyed when you make it? It's not because it's a good argument!
Thanks! We're still adding catalogue: more brands and shops. It's been quite challenging to "normalize" shoe colors from 13 retailers, part of the work is manual. You can read how the backend works here: http://www.fastblr.com/blog/how-works-a-price-comparison-eng...
I don't think there's a fixed end goal for browser.html; it's also a research project.

Spec compliance is Servo's problem. Customizability -- well, browser.html should be just as customizable as Firefox once it gets polished. Like I said, browser.html uses HTML, and Firefox uses XUL, both in mostly the same way. Firefox largely uses XUL because HTML wasn't so powerful in the past, but now it is, and technically we could replace a lot of the XUL with HTML5. Which is sort of what browser.html does. Many firefox UI components are slowly being replaced by html variants these days too.

Now with Firefox's addon API, you write addons using XUL/XPCOM. With browser.html it would be HTML/JS, and you'd be able to hook into any part of the chrome[1] you want. Addons would basically be like userscripts, except they would be for the whole browser chrome. So for example you could write a simple CSS addon that colors the location bar yellow, or write a more complex one that moves the tab strip to the side, or whatever.

Of course, since browser.html is still researchy, I don't think there are plans for an addon api yet. I'm just saying that an addon api for browser.html sounds like something that could be done. I haven't worked with browser.html, so I could be very wrong here.

Actually, fwiw you probably can write your own browser UI (right now!) from scratch using the same APIs that browser.html uses. Instead of fixing an existing UI by totally rearranging everything, write your own! Check out https://github.com/glennw/servo-shell to see what APIs work in Servo and how to use them.

Servo has a usable-ish embedding API, you might actually be able to do the emacs thing (it might help if you chat with zmike in the #servo Mozilla IRC room)

[1]: browser chrome = the stuff outside the layout engine; the UI (location bar, bookmarks, history, devtools, etc)
"In cases where you sell a friend your house for a dollar, the city can appeal the 'last sale price' to get a market assessment"

In France, municipalities can preempt real estate transactions as long as they offer more than the buyer, so the city would get your house for two dollars.

This is mostly to discourage under-reporting of transaction prices, as property ownership change taxes are a major revenue source for cities...
> see no reason for bundling them with the "MRA" label/slur

There's a difference between saying "here's a bunch of stuff that makes it harder for men" (not MRAs) and saying "women did it" (MRAs). There are a weird number of posts here unequivocally saying "the women did it". That view isn't supported by the statistics which show higher rates of completed suicide by men for many many years, since before feminist movements became active.

> I think it is already acceptable for men to seek help when suicidal.

Notice that I'm talking about mental health before the person is suicidal. We know that most people with a mental health problem experience stigma. Also note that previous threads about suicide have had fucking awful examples of wha people think is the right thing to say when someone is suicidal. ("Why don't you go whitewater rafting instead?" Etc)

Why did so many men die from testicular cancer? They do not seek help when they find a lump on a testicle. We had extensive campaigns to get men to see a doctor when they find a lump to help reduce the death rate from testicular cancer.

Why do so many men attempt suicide? Because they do not seek help when depressed nor when suicidal. We know that men do mot seek help from anyone for their mental health. We think that getting men having simple conversations about their mental health will make it easier for them to seek help when they need it.

An example of the type of conversation (see the Matt and Tim video): http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/talking-about-mental-health

If you had a broken arm, in a cast, would you talk about it with your family? Your neighbour? On a first date? At a job interview? Now (obviously) swap "broken arm" with "mental health problem" and see if your answers change. Most people's answers do change, and this is what is being targetted when campaigners are asking people to talk about their mental health.
All for the "benefit" of mining Bitcoin.

The idea is to stick these chips into household applications (e.g. USB chargers), give the appliances out for free, stick the electricity bill on you, and give 75% of the Bitcoin revenue back to the parent company.

Yep, a free USB charger that you amortize over its entire use, at many multiples of what it should cost. It's great for people who love playing a guaranteed losing shell game between buying electronics and electricity.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's impossible to profitably mine bitcoins without screwing someone else in the process. The trick is to screw them as long as possible without them knowing.
I guess related to all tax/business questions "talk to a professional" means "talk to an accountant". An Estonian accountant sounds like a good choice.

As in most (all?) EU countries, all tax/business related work passes through an accountant. Am I right to believe this is different in the US? At least for one-man/small businesses?
> [...] Low Security, a more dangerous patch of cosmos where unscrupulous bandits hijack vessels to sell them on for profit. The third, final and most notorious territory is Null Space, the galactic wild west where even the most well-tooled characters live in a state of constant peril.

When I played a couple years back, low-sec was considered the most "wild west, dangerous, insecure" space you could be in, even when with fiendlies. It was made no safer due to my participation in FW, so Amarr/Caldari FW fighters could be added to the usual troves of pirates and gate campers.

The reasoning was for null sec if you joined a major alliance and stuck to their space, the actual realized danger was no greater than that of high sec. While null and low-sec both don't have CONCORD (NPC police), low-sec was typically teeming to the brim with pirates and gate campers due to the lack of sovereignty and major alliances kicking them out like null-sec has.

FW was major fun in low sec, heard they revamped the system, hope it's been revitalized!

I can see the advantage for the user (25% of the BTC mined), and I can see the advantage for 21 (75% of the BTC mined) and Intel (sell some chips). But what's the incentive for the electronics manufacturer in embedding these BitSplit chips? If they're not getting a cut and they're not being paid, why would they integrate a chip even if it's free? The downside risk of embedding a chip that may become obsolete, break down, or negatively impact energy efficiency surely outweighs the marketing benefit of saying '21 inside'.

With some states banning civil forfeiture and many states legalizing marijuana etc, there still seems to be some tiny hope. On the whole though, yeah, it does seem bad.
That problem is not limited to BFE: egregious ticket and court revenue from those who can least afford it is the chronic offense of Ferguson MO and neighboring suburbs. The recent questionable police shooting was more of a trigger for the expression of preexisting dissatisfaction over the ticketing. It's not clear that the "proportion of the voting population" that faced this problem was "insignificant", but it's clear that race had something to do with it. (Aside: a close relative of mine got a traffic ticket in Ferguson once. Since he is a wealthy professional white dude, a single phone call to a secretary at the court was enough to get charges dropped.) Actually that's true of pretty much all unconscionable law enforcement practice in this country: it may not be race-based, but it is quite race-related.
Personally, I just immediately close any website that has popup ads. They don't have anything I want. Also, use firefox :-)
It feels like there's a lot of projection going on here.
I really, really hate, when people try to force other people to speak in the specific manner they are speaking.

You have no right to demand that.

Additionally, you have no idea about the connotations. You may find it offensive, but it is not. Not at all.

I would be surprised, yes. There is a very short list of pesticides that can be used and a slightly longer list that can be used with specific permission.

Which pesticides were being used on your farm? And did the farm lose organic certification.

But even more - what has pesticide use got to do with top-soil loss? I'm not quite clear.
In grad school, I had a graph theory professor who assigned a research problem he was stuck on as homework. He didn't tell us that until later, after I had a wasted a lot of time trying to solve it. It wasn't very cool.

I actually assumed it was malware masquerading as an anti-virus.
Thank you for that, much appreciated.
Why is 25% a benefit? If these chips profitably mined bitcoins, it would make sense to run them yourself rather than give them away. 25% isn't going to cover the electricity used.
I'd always assumed the intent was to vote when you feel something contributes to the discussion, or is particularly relevant.

For example, upvoting when a subject matter expert gives some context, or the person offers a comment that you found interesting. Conversely downvoting when there is a "me too"/contentless comment.

Personally I most commonly find myself downvoting what I would describe as either rhetoric or offensive.
Are you implying that Players of paid games do not fall into the same two categories?
Ask HN: Cheap Internet marketing for bootstrapped Shopify app startup
I've just created a new app for Shopify. What I really want to find out is if there is a cheap internet marketing company that can do the marketing for me. I think it basically needs forum posting etc. I'm not trying to promote my app here, I just need some marketing advice on how to get some users!

My app has some competitors but also has some real differences that will add value to eCommerce type businesses and is the only app that provides those features.

Any marketing advice would be fantastic, but I really would prefer to pay someone to do it for me.
We worked with it for @Scanbot, fast implementation, well documented, worked flawlessly. Thanks 6W Team!
I don't think that's an accurate viewpoint any more. Farming is already on the order of 1% of the workforce for developed nations. Making that 0.1% won't make a big difference. Extraction of raw materials in general, maybe, but a bigger factor than how much materials are extracted is how those materials are used. Look at how Silicon atoms can be used: as sand, as glass, or as computer chips. The economy can grow without extracting additional raw materials by using those materials in different ways.
cool! Let's talk further offline later- I would be interested to know what you end up doing with it, and pick your (biological) brain for ideas. Ping me on Twitter message later-
What if I want to go even farther? Can someone on HN tell me if 128 bits is enough to get me from the dawn of the universe to the end of time (at work so I can't do it myself for another 4 hours).

As I understood it, as of 2015 EU digital goods VAT must be paid based on the VAT in the customers country, regardless of whether the sellers business is located inside or outside the EU.

If so, what's the downside of having your business based in Estonia vs the US with respect to VAT?
Indeed :) And thanks for the heads up, Arthur. Was a bit of debugging code left in by mistake. Fixed it when I was skimming these comments yesterday but haven’t had a chance to reply and say thanks until now :)

Posts like this are always downvoted but they are very valid. Many people read at a 5 minute break at work. You can't spend 30 minutes on a full blown article in that time frame. So thanks for posting that so I didn't have to take the downvotes! ;)

Yeah, aspirational was probably the wrong statement there.

Your son probably shouldn't be like any character on television, whether that's the antihero or bumbling means-well-but-worth-nothing comedy father. But

Interesting doesn't require character flaws. Those exist in characters in stories to provide space for developmental arcs -- space for us to see them grow and change, something we all want to do. They exist to make a point out of a story.

And these folks are so identifiable because we all sometimes feel like a not-put-together person. Heck, look how popular Breaking Bad, or House, M.D. were -- Laurie and Cranston were insanely popular in those roles because in their ridiculousness they reflected traits many people understand. Though I doubt their performances encouraged any meaningful percentage of the nation's fathers to start cooking meth, or medical professionals to treat people for lupus.

The story for a lot of these characters is that you can look like you have your shit together and still have space to learn, grow, evolve. Sure, it's in the context of murders and whatever because there's more drama there than "guy that goes to the office and has an ongoing feud with his HOA". But that doesn't invalidate the story, or directly encourage the audience to adopt the superficial story components.

I think the small benefit here is that they let you do everything online. And they take that serious. In any other EU country there will probably be something you'll have to do in person.

So this also means you can live the nomad life. Although I guess this isn't their (only) target audience.

Doing business is a separate (though connected) subject. The e-residency is broader than business alone.

For business you'll need an accountant to do tax-related work. You'll probably be able to find one which you can communicate with online, so your nomad lifestyle is still safe.

It gets a lot more attractive (at least compared to other EU countries) if they would take the next step and simplify tax work so you don't need to spend sums like €2000-€3000 on an accountant every year.
Any idea how you were caught in the end? Were you consolidating your isk to a single account?
Incorrect.

There's nothing in the phrase "Money is a piece of token that represents favor or debt the world owns to you" which specifies either fiat or specie currency.

There have absolutely been government-issued specie currencies through history. Virtually all have also seen tremendous devaluation. Look up the 94% devaluation (and corresponding inflation) of the silver Roman denarius.

The post links to the wikipedia pages for two of the problms, so it is pretty easy to get the background on them. At any rate, the point of the post was not those particular problems, but how the instructor uses them to challenge the students. I think digressions into why those problems are mathematically or practically interesting would distract from the main theme of the post.
And you are conflating anti-feminism with misogyny. It's very hard not to be anti-feminist when NOW is sabotaging shared parenting[1]. Feminism can't be natural ally of mens' rights because it is actively pushing against it. And please don't say that it is the issue with fringe feminists. NOW is not fringe, its as mainstream as it gets.

Have you heard what feminists say about legal parental surrender, military draft, circumcision, false accusations etc? Dodging the issue, invoking "it's patriarchy", FGM straw man and so on. With variations of "XYZ can't be fixed because its biology" or "add more feminism".

You are right on one thing. Traditionalist women are actually much worse than feminists when it comes to MR. Unfortunately feminists cater to this particular "electorate" and because of that feminists are not allies of MRM (outside of /r/FeMRADebates).

> To a greater extent than many other electoral methods, the first-past-the-post system encourages tactical voting. Voters have an incentive to vote for one of the two candidates they predict are most likely to win, even if they would prefer another of the candidates to win, because a vote for any other candidate will likely be "wasted" and have no impact on the final result.

> The position is sometimes summed up, in an extreme form, as "All votes for anyone other than the second place are votes for the winner", because by voting for other candidates, they have denied those votes to the second place candidate who could have won had they received them.

With rare exceptions, chances are negligible that anyone but a Democrat or Republican are going to win. I know this. I'm not voting 3rd party because I think there's any chance at all that a 3rd party could win.

I vote 3rd party because I prefer to vote instead of not voting (exercising my right and civic duty), and because it's repugnant to me to give my vote to the Dem or Rep party. I really don't want to choose the lesser of two evils, I prefer to oppose them both, however feeble my voice may be.
Why is this? I mean, are the police forces so (money) broke that they've needed to make up the difference by becoming this way? Or are they truly corrupt (I find this unlikely)?

Are they? To me it seems obvious that if one is seeking those emotions actively, then one will be disappointed or worse if they prove unattainable.

For whatever reason, be it psychological or physiological, it is clear that humans cannot maintain a perpetual high. The serotonin is expended, the stimulant wears off, unhealthy dependencies on emotional states are created. An even keel is worth any number of highs in my opinion. The goal should not be an emotion or a high-water mark, but rather to make progress. Progress is tangible, you can hang your hat on it and be proud of it, and most importantly it's available to you no matter how poor your circumstances or station in life are.
For all of Howard Hughes unusual personality traits he was until the end a very good business man. It will be interesting to see if the big z gets close to Howard.
Even if the number of 3rd party votes is so small that the message is inaudible, it's still an act of free speech.
The stories from Eve certainly are awesome. I always feel I want to be part of that, but at the same time I'm also sad that this amount of energy is not put into something more meaningful. The main part is building a huge community right? That you fly around in space ships is secondary at some point. Then why don't people exchange that secondary part with something like organizing free food for homeless people, or building shelters instead of space stations, or making computer cheaper so every school can afford to put one on every desk?

*edit: That nobody has to become defensive here: All time spent on that kind of activity is time lost for humanity at all, in my books. It does not mean someone else need to have the same priorities. I can be sad about it without wanting to tell anyone that they need to change their ways. Keep your ways. But allow me to be sad about it.

There are supposed to be other protections for this. The sixth amendment, for instance, says: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial...", which means that they can't just "let you rot in jail."

In practice, though, sometimes you do rot in jail. :/

There's a massive difference between the two. The Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish (plus islanders and whatnot) tend to get pretty peeved when you refer to them as English.

I accept that people outside the UK might not care, but I don't think that's necessarily the case. There's also a significant difference between making the mistake in casual conversation and on a formal document.
