I remember seeing something like this in Matellis' Python Cookbook.

My pet problem after FizzBuzz has been this for some time now:

    You are given a text in a file. Count all the words in the
    text and print out the words with their number of occurences
    in descending order.

This can be depressing at times.

As some suggested a correlation with obesity, I'd like to highlight another correlation.

Recent findings showed that obesity can be an side-effect of stress. [There is a genetic component to it, such that people who can compensate detrimental effects of stress to the brain, become obese as a side-effect. People who can't, don't become obese but have detrimental effects to their brain. They're fucked both ways. :-( But this is merely a second hand recitation of what I heard a scientist say. Grain of salt, blah blah.]

Nevertheless, the biggest source of stress is socio-economic stress. It's way more stressful than any "direct" stress.

Trying to find some of the relevant resources:

* http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db50.htm shows correlation between socio-economic status and obesity

* http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2831158/

Linkage between obesity and some dopamine pathways are also known since 2001.

My own speculation: The location where mortality of women is highest produce the highest socio-economic stress to women.

Additional speculation: This ought to happen in high or in low income areas and may be linked with income inequality within the community.

Nothing grows as fast and crazy as Photovoltaics right now. It's doubling roughly every 2 years (slightly less than 2 years). I don't know if we can scale up coal/nuclear at the same rate, but I guess that's not even possible.

So when PV prices fall to the bottom (trends indicate they will), electricity prices produced by PV will fall as well. Coal/Nuclear/etc will become unviable. What do we do then? Electricity will be basically free then.

Nobody seems to get that this is the first 3D printer with which printing can be easily parallelized! This is going to be huuuuuuuge!

Not going to help. Cloning some public repo will expose all emails you commited with anyway.
