Population alarmism in developed countries was funny: id did not peter out until deep into birthrate decline.

I remember one book of many: Hugely overpopulated world, old people killed to make room, not one child in sight during the whole action. As if people grew on walls like mold!

However, overpopulation already ruins undeveloped countries. Overpopulation lead to poverty and poverty to overpopulation. I can't imagine how this is going to resolve.
Best site to create a landing page from a template?
Hello!
I need to use a service to create a first version of the landing page for a product we want to create/pitch. Since we're in a very early stage, we don't want to spend much resources on it. We just need it to help support our pitch and will probably have lots of changes.

I'm thinking on something along the lines of squarespace or wix. Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot!
So, you are dumping tons of real CO2 into the atmosphere, to run an extremely inefficient ledger, which is largely used for illegal activities, because of some hypothetical dystopian future.
Congrats to the Wunderlist team.

And oh crap, one of my favorite startup quotes was "Nobody got rich making a Todo list App." That is in danger of being falsified :-)

It is interesting to consider Microsoft's putative strategy here which is that the mobile "OS" is still searching for the right mix of capabilities to completely replace laptops.
Slant - San Francisco, CA - FULL TIME

Slant tells people what they should buy. Our vision is to own the consumer experience for discovering products and deciding which one to purchase.
We’re currently a small team of three: two experienced developers and a “non-technical” founder whose last job was building satellites for NASA. A major revision to the current product is in the works, but you can see a live version here: www.slant.co. Some info on our investors/advisors: https://angel.co/slant
Our tech Backbone-based front-end, with improvements to allow it to run on both client- and server- side, and as both a single- and multi- page app. RESTful backend written in functional Coffeescript on Node.js, with a temporal postgres database that allows for rewinding to a previous state. The codebase is written in Coffeescript, Jade, and Stylus. Entertaining git history. Gratuitous use of Monads.

We're a multidisciplinary team, so we'd love to hear from full-stack/frontend/backend engineers as well as designers familiar with html/css. We're optimizing more for hiring someone talented, rather than for a specific role. If you’re interested in learning more, email me at stuart@slant.co

To me, whats always stark and telling about the nature of opinions on such issues as population explosion is that they are always so entrenched, fully-formed and hardened as if each side had already made up their opinions sans any late emerging data.

Setting that aside for a moment, I always listen intently when non-political actors and philanthropists like Bill Gates have things to say about where we are headed as a human collective. Without exception, I'm almost always disappointed with how little in the way of criticism he levels in the area of unchecked population growth.

That could be partly due to the fact that anything he or anyone with his stature says, is endlessly twisted out of shape by demagogues to suit their personal agendas and motives, often with negative outcomes. For more see the Pakistani resistance to common vaccinations. [1][2]

Why is there such fanatical levels of orthodoxy even in issues that could benefit from our prudence and forethought?

Why are there parties on either side of this issue with their heels dug in, defending their viewpoint with tone-deaf arrogance?

Why are even such secular issues colored with such partisanship?

Once you have enough experience you do far less trial and error. I rarely write code that does not work. By that I mean, my code generally solves the problem to be solved on the first write and is generally significantly bug-free.

That's not because I am a genius or somehow super-human, I have a lot of experience and have developed a decent process of design-before-coding. Trial and error is really wasteful. It still has it's place in areas that might not be entirely clear. Outside of that, design-before-coding can save tons of time and aggravation.

In other words, coding is the end of a process, not the process.
I see your point about the risk, but is there really that much activity in most stocks that getting to the top of the sell pile would be a large enough issue? As I understand some order types were more or less designed to give HFT an edge.

Although I suppose the profits to be made by any strategy dry up pretty quickly as more shops discover it, so it does make sense to me that this doesn't appear to be done any more. I mean, isn't that what worked a few months ago doesn't work any more is the only thing most people posting about HFT can agree about? :D

Ask HN: Industry or Consulting
Hi.. am in a situation and would like some help. I have been in software industry for about 18 years now and currently working in very large software company. I am getting an opportunity to do consulting, and eventually run an IT service business for a mid-west company. Though the offer I am getting is tempting, came across some posts/opinions that industry does not hire folks from consulting.

Though going all-in is the best option, since I have a family, I want to have a fallback.. Hence requesting folks from the industry to share their experience on hiring consulting folks. Do you see any disadvantage in hiring consulting folks? If there are negatives, can you please share them.

PacketZoom | SF Bay Area (San Mateo) | INTERN | VISA (CPT/OPT processing) ok.:

We're looking for one intern with deep interest in system and network level issues, protocols (TCP/HTTP/UDP based protocols etc) and Unix System level programming in C/C++. Additional interest in mobile programming (iOS/Android at the lower layers of the system) would be a bonus. Connect at jobs@packetzoom.com or directly with me, CEO/CTO of the company (my user info is in the profile).

You'd be working at our San Mateo office. If you're a student in a US university but far away from the Bay Area, don't worry. We'd make travel and living arrangements for you at company expense. Unfortunately we can't process candidates from foreign universities at short notice (much as we'd love to).

PacketZoom was started with the goal to completely change how mobile devices communicate with the cloud. We've created a tech stack and cloud service to upend the tired old TCP/HTTP stack with a more mobile friendly networking protocol built on top of UDP.

Read this for the background and our motivations: https://packetzoom.com/blog/

Discussed here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9354279

We ran an Intern program for the first time last year with two amazing interns from Harvard and CMU respectively. One of them wrote a review:

TFA was pretty clear that none of the teams at the competition had anything close to this. The winner, which was far ahead of competitors, was able to move ten of a group of twelve specially-selected objects in twenty minutes. It's quite possible that some of the competitors will eventually create what you're talking about, but it doesn't seem that they've given away their grandchildren's inheritance just yet.

I feel like the people who laid down their lives for workers rights might be more upset about their work being slowly undone and rampant anti-union bias than they would be by some fluff article on a blog.
Your last paragraph indicates that you agree with me. I did specify that at this time the world can not all live like Americans. I left open the possibility that in the future this might no longer be true. Hence I don't understand the point of your response. You agree with my statement in the second paragraph but disagree with it in the first. You also ingored the part about environmental damage.
Ask HN: How to sniff 802.11ac?
I'm researching possible ways to sniff 802.11ac traffic to measure building occupancy. So far Raspberry Pi's don't seem promising because of their lack of support for those chipsets. Intel NUC seems to be too expensive.

Any other recommendations for cheap linux hardware that supports 802.11ac?

Also any good resources on capturing and analyzing traffic?

I'm not going to read the article, and I'm not going to even say if I like VIM or not. I have become completely bored with the discussions about the pros and cons of VIM and other editors. My only hope is hundreds of years ago people were having the same discussions about pens versus pencils, and they were equally as bored with it as me.
I only comment because I care enough about any others out there, who may think they are all alone, who are as bored with this topic as I am.
This presumes aquiring large quantities of money is a required motivation for developing new technology for one to be qualified as 'in their right mind'. To me this comes off like saying 'No one in their right mind should be a teacher and give knoweledge to others that they could use to get rich'.

Believe it or not some people enjoy the competition, the challenge of solving an interesting problem you had not previously considered, and over all advancing the technology of the world they live in far more than gaining absurd amounts of monetary wealth.

Nope, I'm neither using bitcoin nor even arguing that the benefits it actually produces justify the environmental costs, nor, in the account of what the benefit is, do I reference a hypothetical dystopian future, but instead the way things operate in the real world right now. So, essentially, every element you suggest is wrong.
I would be very interested to see an actual peer reviewed study on this. Until that happens I'm happy to throw my own uninformed opinion on the internet based off a sample size of me.

My first thought would be that as a DINK with pets the resource usage of my 2 spayed and neutered dogs which weren't bred on a puppy farm is miniscule compared to even one child who goes through diapers, clothes, eventually builds a house, and will forever contribute to filling up our landfills. Furthermore that one child is unlikely to be spayed and neutered so they will contribute to exponential population pressure.

Whatever the resource consumption rate is for owning spayed and neutered pets (per couple per year). It's eventually going to be dwarfed by exponentially increasing resource consumption rates of "productive members of society". I really would prefer if people would produce a little less.

Welcome to linguistic prescriptivism [0] vs descriptivism [1]. Your line of comments falls into the former camp, but you should be aware that such views are not universal.

I'll take these two, they're basically in that they discount opportunities for youth and their burden:

> Accordingly to the world's stock markets things couldn't be better, but it hasn't changed job prospects for today's youth.
> Today's youth are also the most indebted, college was remarkably cheaper for previous generations but now that advantage is gone.

This is largely media hype with regard to recent graduates. Yes, the total amount of debt has gone up. However, college graduates salaries have gone up as well. And the total number of college students burdened with debt disproportionate to their salaries (compared to earlier generations) has gone down. Further, virtually all the focus on rising tuition costs focus on the nominal cost of tuition rather than the actual cost paid by the median student (which is far, far less).

In fact, it's households with the lowest debt that are most likely to be classified as in financial hardship.

Citation: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/reports/2014...

> Obamacare helps also the older, in fact today's youth pay an outsized subsidy to the old even though they are the least able to afford it.

This is a well trodden topic. Youth not paying into the system was a primary factor in driving up costs for everyone...costs that everyone eventually pays and that we must carry as a society. Further, 80%+ of all insurance is provided by the employer. If you're employed, nothing changed as far as your "burden" and if you're not you most likely qualify for subsidies.

As far as our representatives all being gray haired matrons. This has always been the case. Not sure what's changed here.
Your article seems like warmed-over John Birch Society material from the 60s. That is, you posit some world wide hidden planning or conspiracy that is set on degrading some Pure American state we've got now (or in the 60s, according to the Birch material), and substituting some centralized control system led by non-Americans.
It's difficult to talk about because it's not politically correct (or politically advantageous) to talk about the root cause issues. So you get bean-counters selling dystopian nightmares.

Generally speaking, high birth rates correlate with poverty. Improve standards of living, particularly for woman and disconnect access to medical & family planning resources from religion and birthrates decline. If you don't think that 50% of your kids will die before reaching adulthood, you don't have 12 children.

The 1 million pound gorilla is our collective failure to look past our tribal/national boundaries.

The model is a qualitative one and one should not take the output as quantitative predictions. The bad thing is that there are essentially no scenarios without collapse. I think until around the turn of the millennium there were still reasonable scenarios that could have avoided the collapse but after that even scenarios with unrealistic policy changes and technological advances tend not to avoid a collapse.

I of course hope that the predictions will turn out to be wrong or at least to pessimistic but we surly know that complex systems can unexpectedly change their behavior at the flap of a butterfly.

I think "very poor" is a little inaccurate. Hunter-gatherers are "very poor", but don't have a population explosion problem. The societies that have population explosion are traditionally agricultural economies with restrictive gender norms that have not fully industrialized.

Basically, it's all about the returns to education. When women have reproductive choice, and when the returns to higher levels of education increase, then parents have fewer children but invest more resources into raising them.

> If you can't, talking it out loud helps whoever's interviewing know whether you're genuinely stuck or just fumbling with the keyboard

Absolutely! I'm also explicit about why I'm solving problems the way I am, like "this is going to be my brute force solution, and probably won't be pretty or efficient". This is effective against the occasional interview who does like to trip you up with followups like "wow, I was hoping for a more sophisticated answer" (yeah, you know who you are). I can respond with "as I said, this is a rough draft."
