the real test of a bubble is to see if people are buying to hold or merely flip. their time horizon is also an important consideration. if they're buying to flip with a short horizon, it's a bubble. the first buyer to feel they might be t

discovery of the truth is in our self-interest, nobody else's. therefore, it is a more lonesome endeavour, and harder than subscribing to the pap fed to the masses. see my [other]( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4968390 ) comment. (edi

I was telling somebody my theory on this the other day, and I thought I might share it here. Basically information is power. Due to informational asymmetry[1] being exploitable via economic, political and other forms of power, it is almost

Choice is good. If the number of variables + consequences are too much for you deal with, then there's market opporunity for a startup there. I agree with parents' feeling that were the regs to be fixed (or a new regulation enacted that sto

A lot of context is lost in text/email/IM also remember that English is not his native language, and he's likely from a very different cultural background. Give the guy a break. On balance I think he's just a well-meaning kid who's achieved

I really like the "raw" body-builder flavor to it: eat a cup of kale, eat a cup of almonds etc., so I hope if recipes do come in, they can somehow be turned off. I just recommended it to reddit.com/r/leangains :-) though apparently it's bee

Good link. There's plenty more (in pubmed) where that came from! Seriously this 1980s alarmism needs to stop.

Your body makes most of the cholesterol in you, it's a vital pre-hormone. How much you eat barely changes the amount produced by your body. If you want a better lipid profile, eat more eggs and fewer carbs. Everything above is really well e

Can you cite some links that I can look up? "supercompensation peak" appears to be too general a search term.

If anyone wants to see just how bare-bones Shaul's gym is, he's got a channel on Youtube. This was the guide I used to make my sandbags ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j6yE8LbQTg ). The fastest way to get started on this kind of program i

Smaller ports of entry with smaller queues generally lead to more pleasant experiences. The HNL and RDU airports, for example, are very welcoming to tourist and business travellers.

I've been seeing Wadwha's pieces all over the place, they are, as far as I can tell, completely rehashes of each other. I believe in skilled immigration to the USA, and that the current system is badly b0rked (and in fact somewhat "geared"

Did you mean the "value of money is going up " in your last paragraph?

Does "deflates the yuan" mean the yuan is deflationary? In that case its value should get higher and exports should decrease, as happened with the Japanese Yen.

I don't think you can learn to program anything related to "web-businesses" in University. I've done a MS in CS at OSU, and I always pitied the poor schlubs doing their undergrad. It's just a bunch of hoops. My recommendation would be that

I'm going to assume a couple of things while answering. Feel free to point out which of them is unwarranted. 1. You won't write the code (ref. hiring developers) 2. Webapp software, not desktop 3. You have time or developer constraints (bas

As someone who's used Common Lisp, Scheme and Clojure; out of that bunch I would highly recommend Clojure for a beginner. Pros: 1. Easier to setup (with a single script from https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen ) 2. Benefits of a l

Emacs pinky is mostly a fault of keyboard designs. Emacs' reliance on ctrl-combos exacerbates this (vi has fewer issues, Esc and the colon). Typematrix.com keyboards ameliorate this, as do the (not shipping yet) keyboards at trulyergonomic.

The problem with all these horizontal setups is that when looking at a screen for long periods of time, neck cricks are inevitable, and what's worse is that those cricks are just harbingers of future woe. I strive to stay vertically and hor
