A lot of this feels like measuring the results of education with standardized tests. Do they ultimately correlate to economic output/GDP? How does the US maintain it's current level of economic output if it's so stupid? Maybe

I think sugar based soda had less sugar per gallon. With HFCS they changed the recipe and added more, even though it's sweeter. Makes people buy more. Not sure what the case is now with back to sugar changes. What I had in mind was int

You're wrong on the internet. The fructose being talked about isn't the nice one in fruits. It's corn syrup or sugar in soda. Yes, obese people consume incredible amounts of it. A gallon a day. Those Texas sized doses of soda

Twitter and Facebook front ends have as much complexity as any fancy gizmo FWA site. And took even more work to get right, because most fancy gizmo sites are throwaway internet flyers, see them once and forget. If they flop it's no big

Branding is one. They can't use a typeface another commercial OS used. Also type designers keep making new fonts with tiny differences from older fonts because the older fonts were already used a lot and don't look fresh. Just lik

Could be that we're just going through biological changes because of a different diet. Seems to change the age of puberty.

Great idea! Expect 300K for your kickstarter! But be careful, sticks hurt. That's why there is nerf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icmm7-W3e3E but it often looks embarrassing. How can one solve the player skill problem

Have fun convincing designers to embrace A/B testing. They have to change their whole process, including how they deal with clients. Most will only do it once the design is finished to test minor differences.

Playing videogames prepares you for playing videogames and whatever way they manage human interaction. In the real world everything would be different and the kids won't be prepared. I'm sure videogames will catch up by 2040. Stil

Up to a point yes. A point of 200-220 lbs of muscle on a 6' frame. When people take steroids to gain muscle beyond that it's not healthy. Also a beginner in a plateau who can only bench 160 has no business taking steroids, he&#x27

Yes you can do a bare minimum but without progress you may lose motivation. After a while you get used to the slightly better feeling and slightly better sleep. May get bored with it only to go back to the occasional workout. That was me. I

In my personal experience I did 40 pushups every other day for months and my fitness level and happiness did not noticeably increase. Also did curls, tricep moves with 25 lb dumbbell. And crunches. Then I got a weight set where I could prog

I'd guess that for your example you'd have labels on the flow components that approximate the order of events. So in the visualizer it can display them in almost linear order. When you want to view low level vs high level code, yo

Looking at the prototype graph UIs it feels like the design misses the mark significantly. Without organizational or auto-layout features that makes the flows easy to follow it's still spaghetti. Looking at some other flow chart design

Businesses don't get the attention they want and have little idea if the attention they get from spamvertising are curious page views, capable buyers or people that think their business is crazy. Quite a common theme on HN. Also having

The real problem with little distributed websites is attention. The same problem websites had since the 90's. How to get indexed by search engines. How to be go to places. Poogle Glus, F *book, Shitter are tools for managing attention

Millions of people make digital art in their bedrooms. Demoscene, deviantart, 3D abstracts, threadless, processing were full of people who weren't old enough to be in art schools. Plenty are as prepared creatively as art school graduat

I made a ton of digital art. Some of it decent enough to be appreciated by snobby art school people. Especially the stuff that looks painted like http://detrus.nivr.net/art/photos/01/styx.jpg All of my feedba

Spartans were pretty manly men and homosexual relations were expected of all. It's probably not so much the bed stories as the public behaviors that became associated with it when it was limited mainly to actual homosexuals.

Squat form video is wrong. Don't do that with weight. Your toes need to be pointed out 30 degrees and knees spread apart, crotch opened as far as possible. You'll find a lot of wrong YouTube videos. It's a minefield of fitness non-experts t

I got some potentially chronic knee injuries lifting weights. As someone who barely squats ~235 these are probably not too serious. I made mistakes in form and routine to get them, serious mistakes that I see others making at the gym. I see

It's a mistake to relate the stupidity of an idea to its potential for success. And yet even with success they can remain stupid and you can remain right.

Yes the mindset switch is a big barrier. The only way people will do both at the same time on a large scale is if you automate large parts of both professions, to the point where the job is just picking answers in web/app building wizards.

There are some in depth documentaries and reports on it. I think the main issue is windmill hating people live in extremely quiet places and when you add any noise to them it's more distracting than already living in a louder area. Plus the

They do complain about views and noise in Europe too. But with a functioning government their concerns are overruled by the majority who doesn't have a view of the coast. I love looking at windmills too but then I don't look and listen to t
