Let me make it utterly clear: I am absolutely talking only about the survival of the American economy.

I'm a descendent of immigrants born to poor circumstances. I'm lucky to be here as a result of getting past strict immigration policies. But I gotta be real, If America tried to "save" every one on the face of the earth by letting everyone in need into this country, we'd probably triple our population, and change the state of everything.
Just guessing here: instability, differing expectations, increased costs to everybody thru inefficiencies. It becomes hard to predict what folks will consider fair, adequate government services. Result is a lowering of standard of living for those in the dominant cultural group.
> and about as much potato and bread as in the US

so in other words, way too much.
Triple splat, no erasies, touch blue make it true.

You're wrong. They don't care if you run Windows or Linux. They want you to run it on Azure.

Where you said "likely", I think you meant "speculative".

As with most nutritional information, "it's complicated" - but to suggest that there is a well demonstrated that high carbohydrate diets and plant based proteins [1] has implications for heart disease won't hold.

Also [1]: why do you say low protein? Might just be my ignorance, but I would expect fairly high protein content from all the common dal, channa, etc. dishes.

To be clear, I'm not saying that there isn't a dietary connection - but to say it is as simple as "carbohydrates bad, protein bad" is at best premature, but more likely just inept.

edit: I shouldn't have kept the parents "high carbohydrate" language intact, as that's actually another question - is the Indian diet meaningfully "high carbohydrate" ?
I wish people would stop butchering the word "innovation" as it pertains to software, though I realize this is a press release.

That said, I am interested how the Windows Server subsystems are going to be extended/rearchitected into enabling Docker. A verbatim compatibility layer for Linux namespaces and cgroups, or an LPAR-esque mechanism of their own that could potentially be used to build Windows-only container solutions that harness its specific powers?

> You can check Brazil in recent history to check the effects of droughts in the power grid. In the end there is a need of conventional power plants always ready to backup the grid when the renewable energy is not available.

Disclaimer: I'm Brazilian

Sure, you need some conventional powerplants as backup system. However, that's much better than having them run all the time. Don't forget that conventional plants should also have their backups.

The hydroelectric dams do the heavy lifting really. We also have a nationwide energy grid, so we can reallocate resources as necessary. What we actually need is more renewables. The northeast is (almost!) always sunny. If there's not enough sun, it's usually because of rain(increasing reservoir levels) and there's wind (boosting wind power).

The north (near the Amazon forest) has an abundance of rain. The south and southeast are hit and miss, the weather is far less reliable.

With a nationwide power grid, surplus can be reallocated. In case that's insufficient, then the thermoelectric power plants can be started, hopefully running on natural gas or biodiesel. We do have a nuclear power plant, wish we had more.

> The majority of losses of the power distribution network are on the last mile

Which is why microgeneration should be encouraged. Having enough local generation to offset the losses alone would be a win.

> Since we are talking of the environment, rare earth metals have a very pollutant and energy intensive extraction process which in most cases is not accounted in the environmental cost of solar panels.

Sure. But what about the resources to build conventional power plants? It is not like their extraction, transportation, processing and assembly is free.

Thermoelectric power plants also release harmful gases into the atmosphere for as long as they are operating. Solar panels, wind turbines and hydroelectric dams don't do that (for hydro, I guess they'll release a bunch of methane and other chemicals for quite a while after they are constructed, due to the dead life when the artificial lake is formed).

Fusion is always 10 years away. I wouldn't hold my breath. Nuclear power plants will also require a lot of energy (and pollution!) in order to be constructed. The newest designs are a win in my book, but we can't pretend they don't do environmental damage.

Oh, almost forgot. If you are concerned about rare earth mining, then let us build more solar concentrators. They only require mirrors, no rare earths. The heat exchange medium can also be molten salts, which will retain a lot of thermal energy for the night, without using batteries. They require direct sunlight however, while solar panels will work (at reduced efficiency) even in overcast skies.
Yeah, despite it's name, lea is an arithmetic instruction; it doesn't reference memory (although it was designed with computing memory addresses in mind). You can do some neat arithmetic tricks with lea, because it computes register1 + register2<<shift + offset.
Potatoes and bread are not intrinsically bad. I grew up on the farm, and we ate mass quantities of them plus red meat. But we worked it off every afternoon pitching hay or hauling grain or painting fences or whatever.

Fundamentally its a sedentary lifestyle that's incompatible with these foods. They are not evil; they're inappropriate for the American level of activity (taking vehicles everywhere; sitting all day; watching TV in the evenings). Indians come to America begin to do these things, and begin to have problems. No surprise.
You can easily make vegan short bread or pie crust. A can of pop is vegan, as is a bag of chips.

To get the health benefits from being a vegan or vegetarian, you actually have to eat the green, leafy stuff. And the unprocessed tubers, legumes, nuts/seeds and so on.

If your idea of vegetarian is daily serving of deep-fried samosa stuffed with mashed potato and peas, better think again.
Living in the Future with ChatOps
I'm always sad to see that CouchDB and its PouchDB counterpart in the browser (or even on the server) are always forgotten, even though they've been solving that problem for years now:

* easy replication (protocol is documented (http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/replication/protocol.html), and it's only HTTP+JSON)

* The replication is reactive, ie you only get the changes since last time you synced

* The replication is realtime, it can use longpolling or server-sent events.

* The replication is two-way; the browser doesn't have a special status in the replication protocol. It is effectively the same database. The application speaks only with the local database, which is sync'ed in the background.

* CouchDB effectively acts as a log of all transformations. If you modify a document, there will be a trace that there is a "marker" that tells you that the document changed since last time you saw it.

* There is filtering, although it can be inefficient and is completely controlled by the client (so no security filtering from the server)

* CouchDB does lack granularity, it is only at the database level meaning that each user must have a different database. Couchbase is going another way with channels in the Sync gateway (http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile/develop/guides/sync-ga...) but it's non standard

We need to iterate on the CouchDB ecosystem, because it already provides a lot of what we need.

You can't hold a global referendum on that, because their votes would be vastly outnumbered by those who don't care or who want to trample on them and help themselves to their resources or whatever.

Eh, that's just cultural conservatism, the rallying cry of racists and skinheads the world over. Are you also afraid they might marry your women and corrupt your children?

It's really quite fascinating... Europe, for generations, colonized the rest of the world, imposing their own cultures on indigenous populations (and I say that as a Canadian... we spent 100 years trying to wipe out our own indigenous population).

Now that the tables are turning and Europeans are struggling with immigration into their own countries, violent xenophobia is springing up like a vile weed.

Ironic, really.

Now, that's not to say large, unintegrated (and note, I say unintegrated, not unassimilated... those are different things) immigrant populations aren't a challenge. They most definitely are. Any isolated population, particularly if they're disconnected from government, law enforcement, or the social safety net, are a difficult challenge (my own city struggles with pockets of unintegrated north african immigrant populations, for example). But it's a challenge xenophobic europeans created for themselves, by allowing these immigrant populations to remain isolated in the first place... ironically, in part specifically because of that very xenophobia.
Not sure if you have done this on purpose but if there is any chance you actually want to build credit and be tracked by the credit agencies with a credit score, then the first step is to get a "Secured credit card" which means that a bank will give you a credit card but you will have to deposit like $500 etc as collateral/security. Then start using this credit card to pay for your expenses as much as possible while paying the statement balance in full every month. Do this for a few months and you will start building credit.
it actually took me good 15-20 seconds or so to pair up (holding a camera pointing at the watch), that's why I made an assumption there is some encoding/decoding going on.

Credit Karma would be a lot more useful if they gave you your actual Fico score. The score they give you, a so-called Fako, is for entertainment purposes only. I've never heard of a lender that actually uses VantageScore and its ilk in lending decisions.
If you really want to understand what's happening in the economy, with advance notice, read http://mises.org. That site has hundreds of economics books for free (great reading!) but also regular news articles.

For instance, in 2001, before 9/11 (IIRC) there was an article there about how as a response to the DotCom boom the low interest rates plus changes in the CRA would be causing a housing boom and bubble over the next decade.

In 2001 there was no boom, and after 9/11 the economy was bad. But that advice proved true, and gave me 6 years to time to invest based on the housing bubble hypothesis (alas I never found a way to short houses and wasn't the kind of person who could have bought CDOs against the foolishness) ... and I got out of the market very near its peak in 2007.

Unlike what politicians would want you to believe, Economics is a science and the consequences of actions in economics are pretty close to those in physics. They can pretend like one president or another is responsible. (the Housing Bubble was the result of the actions of Clinton and Bush, and actually Obama who was a lawyer in the lawsuit that claimed "lending only to people who can afford to repay the loans is racist"... and like economics predicted (That banks want money and will disregard race) in the end it turned out that they weren't being racist but were lending based on likelihood of repayment... and the winners in Obama's class action lawsuit got their loans... and defaulted.)

The consequences of the terrible actions in 2008- from the bailouts to the giving of one private bank (the federal reserve) the power to forcibly merge other banks (without regard to conflict of interest-- say one of the owners of the federal reserve wants to buy a smaller bank, he can just use the fed to force it to merge with him on terms he agrees to.... no way this will be abused, right?) .... these consequences are still playing out and have made the game much more dangerous than 2008.

One thing I've noticed is that the "Black Swan" events-- like 2008 which people said "Tehre's no way you could see this coming" despite the popular sentiment in 2006 being "there's no way there's a housing bubble!" showing that people did, in fact, see it coming-- really are pretty predictable at least in terms of risk.

And the risk of a Black Swan has only been going up given the past 3 decades of irresponsible governance (under congresses and presidents from both parties.)

Don't look to VCs for economic perspective. They don't have it. All they know how to do is raise funds and collect a carry. Don't look to political hacks like "A housing bubble would be good for the economy" Paul Krugman, or any politicians.... look to actual economists. (Even Keyenes disagrees with the monetary policy we've been following for these decades, even though the politicians claim its his idea. IT isn't, it's not what he said at all.)

The current bubble is the dollar, and they can't raise interest rates without popping it. Whether they intend to pop it I don't know.

This is actually incorrect. When I was digging through old new york times articles from the 1900s and 1930s (using the online search) I stumbled across numerous articles expressing concern about the pollutants being released by factories and combustion-engine automobiles, and how they not only affect the immediate area but surrounding towns. Don't have links to the sources at the moment, or the time right now to pull it up, will check back later, but if you search on nytimes.com you should be able to pull them up.

One of my favorite things in emacs. When confronted with an arcane, custom "language" developed 30 years ago because of some immediate need without serious care taken. You can create a custom mode that gives you syntax highlighting, indentation support and other things fairly quickly. And it beats the built-in "editors" present in a lot of tools, especially those that don't let you directly edit the text file but insist on making you click through wizards and dropdown menus.
Yeah, by "went to Taylor Swift" I really meant "went to her business manager" or whoever. She's actually pretty damn business savvy, though when your mom is a marketing executive and your dad is an investment banker, a little will rub off.
There are a lot of people here commenting on Indian dietary habits, and there's a lot of misinformation, leading to a lot of misconceptions. In no particular order, let's clear some up:

1. There's no such thing as an "Indian" diet. The cuisines throughout India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal are incredibly varied, and bear little resemblance to each other.

2. Most Indian cuisines are all but unavailable outside India, particularly in the UK and US. Most Indian restaurants in the US bear little resemblance to the style of food that is eaten in the home. In other words, Indian food available in the UK and US does not reflect daily Indian diets within India.

3. Indian people living abroad may eat very differently, because many of the ingredients are too expensive or simply unavailable outside their home region.

4. Not all Indian cuisines are carbohydrate-heavy.

5. Not all Indian cuisines contain a lot of rice.

6. Not all Indian cuisines fry food.

7. Not all Indian cuisines are vegetarian. Vegetarianism does not dominate Indian cuisine, and it certainly does not dominate Bangladeshi and Pakistani cuisine.

8. What counts as "vegetarian" in India is very different from what people in the US think of as vegetarian. For example, eggs are considered non-vegetarian.

Finally, I should add that all of this, combined with the fact that this is so common both across South Asia and in the diaspora in the US suggests (to me) that genetics are a heavy factor.

I say YouTube is probably the number one way most teenagers actually listen to music. This isn't music videos mostly. It is pictures of the cover art and the music. I seriously listen to my music through YouTube in another and I am rarely disappointed in not finding the music I am looking for.

What is not to like. I can listen with the screen turned off. I use this feature to listen to one off podcast I would like to list to and the YouTube play list made by users are amazing. Also to have no ads while listening to YouTube music is great.

The actual complete title doesn't fit in HN's 80 char limit.

>On anything resembling a normal cuisine the relative share of carbohydrate vs. saturated fat really doesn't matter much.

Vegetarian diet isn't a normal cuisine. Vegetarians tend to reduce protein intake and compensate with something else. The easiest substitute being carbs. If you aren't actually increasing your vegetable intake and eating quality food the vegetarian diet can be very unhealthy. A couple vegetarians I know are technically obese.

I do like Cliff. This reminds me, I dropped my bottle last year; time to replace it.

If Klein bottles catch your fanvcy, there's another and very different artist doing metal and glass algorithmic artwork in 3D printers: Bathsheba (at http://bathsheba.com).

Bitrate doesn't necessarily correlate with audio quality, you can even perceive noise or a drop of quality in the audio of the less popular songs.

I'm seriously thinking that Google just licensed the audio they're streaming, but they didn't even care about getting proper audio files and they're simply streaming the audio their users uploaded.

Pro tip to everyone using these blades: Pickup a bottle of mineral oil from the drugstore, and fill a small cup about half an inch with it. After you shave, rinse off the blade, blot it dry, and stick it in the mineral oil, so that it's fully submerged. Each blade will last somewhere between 2-5x as long.

Not entirely sure about the mechanism, but I recall hearing the oil slows down oxidation, which is the primary cause of the blade's dulling (it's not, surprisingly, the cutting of the beard hairs).
Thanks. It seems like they have either slowed down sending out SDK invites or the number of developers requesting has increased. I'm probably not the only one who waited to signup for the SDK until I had received my Echo.
