Indeed. I believe this is so because restaurants here do not want anyone to go hungry. That includes people who are rather large. If you must guarantee that people up to say 400 lbs always go home satisfied by giving them enough food, there will be way too much food for someone who is 100-200 lbs. This does place the burden of portion control on the eater, which can be problematic for the eater, but is not so for the restaurant. A much worse fate for the restaurant would be losing customers permanently because they did not serve enough food. There is only one restaurant in the US that I've ever been to that didn't provide enough food and I will never go back to it. (I'm around 200 lbs so I'm not expecting a whole ton either.)
Its times like these that I seriously consider buying more bitcoins. Capital controls are totally unjust, in a free country. And it can happen in any country. The governments need to get their act together, instead of punishing innocent citizens. Why does a centrally controlled currency even need to exist in the first place?
No nation has its finances in order, whether they are part of the EU, or if it's the U.S. or Japan or China. Get off your high horse.

Why is the hiring process such a big issue for people already working there? Do they feel it reflects badly on them? Or that the quality of new co-workers is bad? Or lack of new co-workers?
But not for indexes...
What kind of capital controls? in this situation it is quite an oxymoron. With a different currency you can control the exchange rate or limit how much one is allowed to exchange, however Greece still has the same internal currency - the Euro. You don't have a Greek euro only - its the same currency.

To me all these conflicting reports smell like panic; decision makers just don't know what to do now, and the BBC does not know what to report. Sounds like 2008 all over again.
Errrm, moving more transactions outside the general economy wouldn't have helped Greece. Paying taxes might have. Being fiscally responsible might have. Not letting everyone retire at forty might have. Cutting the red tape might have. Not cooking the books might have.

Post-Launch Booster Recovery

Okay, that's the routine stuff dealt with. I know we're all here

approximately 3 minutes into the launch, the first stage
will manoeuvre and orient itself to conduct a post-mission

Gods, it feels good to see the future finally arrive. It's been a long time coming.

Growing up in the 80s, I became quite bitter about the pace of technological change. Sure, personal computers were nifty, but the heroic age of spaceflight was really what the future should've been about. That age had ended with Apollo 17, three years before I was born. Everything since then looked like a shambolic shuffle into a new dark age.

One insane coincidence in the late 80s gave me some remarkable perspective on this. I was taking the train down the coast of California, around the horn of Vandenberg Airforce Base. The train was the only place from which civilians could see the Vandenberg Launch Complex, including the SLC-6 Shuttle launch site[1]. Nasa had spent over $4 Billion preparing it for shuttle launches which would never come. The Challenger disaster had ended all hopes for that; the complex had been mothballed and was already starting to rust. Seeing this made my 13-year-old-self angry. I started ranting to the poor gentleman sitting next to me about how my grandmother hand grown up with horses and buggies yet got to see men walking on the moon; my generation, on the other hand, had seen nothing but decline.

As I ranted, the gentleman slumped in his seat. At the end of my rant, he gave a long sigh and said "tell me about it." Then he introduced himself. He was Deke Slayton, a Mercury and Apollo astronaut[2]. He'd retired from NASA in 1982, frustrated with its bureaucracy, and tried to start a private space-launch company. It hadn't gone well.[3] I wish I could say that our conversation gave me hope for the future, but it didn't.

Later, my hopes were raised by the DC-X[4], then dashed by the subsequent (insanely corrupt) X-33 fiasco, and the failure of Beal Aerospace[5]. Raised again when I stood on the flight line at Mojave and watched SpaceShipOne take its first space shot[6], then dashed again when that program seemed to fly into molasses. Throughout, there was the sense that the future was possible, but by no means inevitable. There was no guarantee that it would arrive in my lifetime.

But now here it is. This time it's real, this time it'll work, and nobody will have to get nailed to anything. I couldn't be happier!

When I was younger (I'm 45), lithium itself was synonymous with "really crazy." It no longer seems to be regarded quite so negatively.

I had a bad reaction to it ("zombification," as we call it), but it has clearly helped so many.

Over my lifetime, depression has become something you can talk about without too much stigma (though perhaps not completely), but these other illnesses have a long way to go. "My boss is bipolar." "The weather is bipolar." OCD is similarly treated like a big joke, and not the devastating illness it can be.

I wish I could explain to people what it's like to be bipolar. The biggest problem you have is that the feelings of hopelessness, exhaustion, and despair seem to you to be caused by a lack of hope, laziness, and the fact that everything is dark. The feelings of elation, invincibility, the thought that you've "figured it all out, and all the energy just mean that things are going really well -- maybe that you're not bipolar at all! And if you're experiencing "negative mania" (angry, irritable, etc.), well, then it's whatever in front of you that's causing that, not your brain.

And this is coming from someone who knows they have this illness. You just can't see it while you're having it. It's only when it's over that you finally see how screwed up you were, and for many people, there are jobs, relationships, and finances left in ruins for you to sort through.

What's worst of all is that even the people closest to you can have a lot of trouble understanding it. Why can't you just snap out of it? Get out of bed? Why can't you see that that project is, um, a little nuts? But we just can't.

And then even when the medication works, we live in constant fear that it's going to come around again. A lot of us are deeply traumatized by manic episodes (it only takes one). It's like we're watching and waiting for it to happen again. "I feel fine now (or do I)?"

Ask HN: How to solve the problems of greece?
It seems to be a tricky situation right now, and I honestly have no idea by myself how to solve it in a way so that investors don't lose their money and the people in greece don't end up in massive poverty.

Currently my own ideas are very extremistic in one way or another:

a) intervene with military force and set up a temporary government that pushes much needed laws, ensures that taxes are paid without exceptions and fights corruption without mercy. This way the society can be transformed and modernized.

b) All EU states give up their antique national mindsets to form the united states of europe, this way all dept is combined into the EU entity and a new central government can deal with it on large scale effectively. I personally would love this, no matter the circumstances.

c) Increase lendings massively without the austerity politics, so the greece folks can actually start to invest and trigger positive economic signals. But I think this delays just the fundamental problems...

So, what do HNers think about this topic? Is there any viable solution for the current situation?

No, if Greece exits then Italy, Spain, and France will be the next to get the treatment. A Grexit will mean the end of the beginning of the end for the EU and a move towards nationalism and/or fascism across the rest of Europe.

Most countries have growing anti-EU nationalist movements, and ass-raping Greece isn't going to make them less popular.

But the IMF have no interest in a strong Europe, because before 2008 European policy was heading in an aggressively anti-corporate direction.

A bleeding and uncertain Europe with a population terrified of poverty and old age is much more to their liking.

Remember total QE lending to banks is the far side of $2.5tn, and most of it is secured against assets that are clearly worthless.

The IMF itself is happy to agitate against austerity when it suits its political aims, and to hand out money that's unlikely to be repaid: see also, Ukraine.

So this is a purely political pantomime. Greek solvency is simply a pretext for political power plays - another attempt to enforce the usual neo-liberal "reform" agenda which aims to destroy the last century's traditions of socially responsible government spending.
It's hard to say the austerity measures are to blame for their economic downturn. The Greek economy has by some measures continued on the path started by the financial crisis and by some measures improved (bank capitalisation, budget surplus before debt payments). If they have a recession at the same time as austerity it's a bit of a stretch to say the cutbacks ruined the economy. I'd also say that Syriza is a pretty hard left wing party, of whose proposals I've seen little that doesn't amount to "borrow more and spend more". Their election rhetoric was "we shouldn't have to repay because that's insulting to us".
Please stop repeating things you don't actually know are true. Greeks work hard and don't retire at 40. Their work ethic is not the problem. Not paying taxes is a problem. The amount of pensions paid is also a problem. Individual Greek people are the victim as much as the lenders whose loans are defaulted on (iincluding me, via my country's contributions)
> It is this free trade that Germany is profiting from, not the Euro currency.

Once again a blatant falsehood.

When economically strong and weaker countries share a currency the stronger countries benefit, because it pushes the value of their currency down. This means they can export effectively, especially to the countries who suddenly have a stronger currency with more purchasing power than they otherwise would have had.

Ask HN: How do career prospects look in non-enterprise/startup development?
So I'm your another typical enterprise dev, making good money in a safe and undemanding job, but at the same time being bored to tears...
I've been pondering switching fields for a long time now. I'd be interested in something where I'm tasked in writing the actual software and not just gluing together frameworks and libraries. I'm affraid that this requirement pretty much rules out most typical enterpise and startup jobs...
Ideally I'd be streching my brain, writing libraries/engines/frameworks or some other "core" software. I'm also fond of math and have some background in machine learning (did Msc in it), so it would be nice to utilize it, however if I end up working in a non-mathy field that's fine too.
My main languages are Java and Scala, and I have (partial) working knowledge of C, C++, OpenGL and a bunch of other fields. As for learning new skills, I have plenty of savings so taking an extended time off to study a new field and/or doing a PhD is definitely on the table.

What are my options at this point? I'd especially like to hear from people who are insiders in some of the more "hardcore" fields. Also, I'm interested in pragmatic assesment of difficulty of getting into a given field, and job/salary prospects (I'm based in EU, wouldn't mind moving to US if there are H1-B possibilities in a given field) - i.e. I know that working on for example Linux kernel would be a very cool job, but as far as I know it's an extremely small niche populated with people with 10+ years of experience. I believe the same might be true for computer vision (another field I consider very cool), not to mention that the salaries listed in the UK for them are less than half of what I make in enterprise software.

One last thing - I know that there are quite a few people like me in the enterprise world. Hopefully a lot of people will benefit from this thread.
Because if Python is a hammer, Javascript is a Fisher-Price toy hammer. It's amazing that such a shit language has become so ubiquitous.
> It's interesting that you use mental illness to describe violent behaviour you don't understand.

It's not so unreasonable. Perhaps the shooter has a very logical reason for having shot at the drone (and the neighbour's house, previously), but it seems to me very unlikely that there is any other reason than paranoia or recklessness. Having said that, i expect that a judge and/or mental health professional should evaluate this more carefully and with better access to facts than you or i on a forum somewhere—i'm just outing an opinion, not saying the shooter should indeed be treated/medicated/institutionalised.

> That kind of stigmatising use of language contributes to a culture where shooting and killing the mentally ill is common.

I actually think this is the wrong way around. I agree that we should recognise mental illness as a serious problem, and offer individuals who are suffering from it (and potentially endangering their entourage) professional help. I fail to see how suggesting that this shooter is mentally ill would contribute to the shooting and killing of mentally ill patients—on the contrary, it should lead to a more adapted response to this situation, instead of laughing it off or throwing a potentially mentally ill person in jail, which will be counter-productive, if anything. This shooter is not being stigmatised at all, as i see it: attention is being drawn to a potential sufferer who is not receiving (adequate) care.

This can be done in a variety of ways, but it's unfortunately not usually free. 1) A trading terminal such as Bloomberg 2) get API access to subscribe to the exchange feeds or other data vendor feeds.

Usually, this is out of reach for casual traders. I've seen one exchange publish order book snapshots every 5 minutes on their website, but this data is hardly useful for frequently traded instruments if your strategy is based on the order book dynamic.

For relocation costs, those are deductible from your (Federal) taxes under certain circumstances (something like, if you move more than X miles to be closer to a job). If it is just a bonus that is just taxable income.

In the US, if they gave you $1000 straight-up for moving costs, you'd probably see something like:

1. Company gives you $1000.
2. $750 hits your bank account after withholding.
3. You spend $1000 to move.
4. You file taxes, claim $1000 deduction for moving expenses.
5. You receive $250 refund.
