I know dozens that went to the US for treatments. Some even took out second mortgages because it was a choice between languishing on a waiting list with a heart condition that can kill you, or getting it fixed next week.
Thank you for these suggestions. We will definitely consider adding links to the license files. Also, we are very much limited to our twitter account for communication but will surely set up something on our site very soon.
An excellent article that clearly illustrates how, if you properly educate and invest in your population and provide a societal structure that allows these people to have a say, then, instead of society imploding, it actually flourishes. Not that anyone in western govt's are listening...
That might just be the spray that we needed to gather another head of steam. Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions. We're definitely at risk of losing momentum and adding to the pile of unfinished projects on the internet.
Am I the only person who has some qualms with the name?
Emacs (ok, so it has a kernel of C code but it's still by and large a lisp program)
One thing that we're trying to maintain with CoffeeScript is that the generated code is just as performant as you would have written in raw JS -- i.e. loops are just loops. It would be lovely if that sort of performance were possible in a JavaScript library that supplied "each", but sadly, it's not.
Here he is talking to Richard Metzger (Twitter comes up too): http://vimeo.com/14918761
If anyone is interested, a very kind Githubber took the time to address each one of the points mentioned by the original poster.

I'm not associated with this person in anyway, but I do really appreciate them taking the time to do this.

Yes, obviousness is subjective. However, we're discussing what makes a programming language good. Goodness is subjective too, is it not?
Freedom is worth dying for.
If they get hacked one time it will haunt them for eternity. It's just like Mint in that regard. I sure hope they're putting in serious effort towards security.
Isn't it still possible to get in on this?

Early is relative, but if bitcoin ever makes it to any substantial point wouldn't that imply people buying bitcoin now will make huge profits? Maybe you can't be Larry & Sergey, but you can be be a pre-IPO investor. I think.
So, to clarify, you think it's a bad thing if Iran gets nukes, but nobody has the right to try and stop them?
Depends on how the tests are structured. You could structure the tests so that rote memorizers win or those who have truly understood the relations win. And then sometimes it is not just he tests that are structured mostly one way or the other, but whole educational systems.
Thanks, infoq looks really helpful
I remember it being a rare event when 212 created a FP enthusiast. Are the students in the new course liking it or just enduring it?
I totally agree, but the problem is that not giving animals those anti-biotics is bad in a pragmatic sense as well.

For example, let's say you don't give cattle antibiotics anymore. Cattle destined for production are generally tightly packed, and while nature abhors a vacuum, nature also punishes high populations with disease. Hence the anti-biotics.

The next logical step would be to stop packing cattle so tightly. But, you'd be surprised how much room cattle in a natural setting need (think orders of magnitude more room).

One of the great triumphs of humanity is how incredibly accessible (good) food has become. This all goes hand in hand with price reductions. Nowadays, American's spend about 1/20 of their disposable income on food, back in the "good old days" (the 20's & 30's) they were spending more like 1/5. [1]

You no doubt raise a valid point, but as usual, the reality is much more complicated. What is worse, an uptick in deaths by food poisoning or an increase of 4x in the cost of food cost? Such a decision is beyond me.

He had a similar Molly/Bonny mistake near the end of the article. It makes for an odd mix of thoughtful and sloppy.
1. You don't have to work with people in your geographic area. Use HN, Proggit, Joel's Business of Software forums, Slashdot, Twitter, FB, LinkedIn, etc to network and meet people with similar interest and abilities. If you're looking for collaborates, so are others. Just need to find them. Good story about that:

http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2359-bootstrapped-profitable-...

2. Your belief that stocks will help you get to $1million worries me. Most of the West is swamped in debt, and the retirement debt bomb hasn't even hit us yet. We've pulled forward so much future demand via debt accumulation that we may not be able sustain current levels of aggregate demand, and the debt bomb (google it) hasn't even hit us yet.

That could hit stocks hard over the next 10-20 years, especially since most stocks are priced not just on the company's liquidation value but also on the net present value of 'expected' future cash flows (Wall St.'s ability to accurately anticipate the future should be by now be roundly questioned if not outright laughed at).

I would advise not relying on stocks to get you to your goal. Remember, a dollar saved or not lost is a dollar earned.
Wouldn't that be an unstable position? Even if the earth was a perfect ball and the cave was a perfect ball exactly in the middle then the gravity everywhere inside the cave is zero, so if you gave the black hole a little push it would crash into the earth again.
The US didn't make it to the moon overnight or mars in a week. It took years of careful planning and failing and redoing. The oil companies promised everything was under control and covered any lingering doubts with political contributions (that's what we call bribes here).

The leak is so deep it may as well be in outer space. The US will come up with a top notch oil well patching under thousands of feet of water solution, but it will take time.

They just need to start on this solution a decade ago.
In the words of Alan Kay, "The computer revolution hasn't happened yet." Instead, it is happening. It took two decades for megabit LAN, 300+ DPI printers, WYSIWYG word processors, etc to become mainstream fixtures of the office. It also took awhile for OO to become mainstream.

The revolution comes in multiple, overlapping waves, whose frequency is measured in decades.
I have a 450 minute plan. I've never come close to using all of it in a month.
Sorry for the multiple typos. I was on a rush.
Is it hard to kill MRSA in culture? Bleach will do it, for example, and I bet 100% alcohol would too. It's only resistant to known antibiotics, after all--not immortal.

I think the news here is historical (hey this crazy recipe works), not medical (hey this stuff might be better than anything we already know how to do).

Does the most effective argument against immigration controls require us to relitigate the concept of nations?
I began programming when I was 8, like a lot of people on HN and elsewhere. Programming has always been my hobby, and I’ve enjoyed writing beautiful, readable, maintainable, and (sometimes) efficient code. I was blessed enough to have parents who were willing and could afford to send me over to the United States for college. But I was far more lucky to have won the H1B lottery that let me live here after college. Not everyone was as lucky. (See http://app.fwd.us/stories/429) Students graduating with PhDs from Ivy League schools who wish to stay get kicked out of the country every year because they didn’t win a lottery. The truth is it’s incredibly hard to immigrate to the US legally.

For a lot of people, the H1B acts as a stepping stone to a green card (i.e., to an EB visa). These people aren’t really “guest workers” — a lot of them will stay and become citizens. If you don’t have relatives here, are not a refugee, and aren’t lucky enough to score a diversity visa, skilled/employment-based immigration is the only route. And it’s incredibly hard to come to this country under the skilled/employment-based immigration route.

One of the fallacies that a lot of people who oppose skilled immigration subscribe to is the “lump-of-labor theory”. It’s a hardened belief that jobs are a zero-sum game — and from this arises the idea that every skilled immigrant takes away a job from a U.S. worker. This isn’t true. More skilled, educated workers will actually add to the economy — and grow the economy. Just imagine: what if the U.S. had not let in the millions of immigrants it did during the 1800s out of a fear that citizen workers would loose their jobs? We’d have a much smaller population, and subsequently a lower total GDP. We might be equally well-off on a per capita basis, but we wouldn’t be the country we are today.

PG might have been wrong in that not every skilled immigrant is 100x more skilled that his native counterpart. But I agree with him that letting more skilled/educated people in, would be a good thing for this country overall.
> Then red dots for people who have turned their phone off and removed the main battery. Highly suspicious behaviour obviously. A Reaper or StingRay would then be dispatched to the red dot's location.

Alrighty. So the NSA dispatches a reaper every time somebody drops their droid phone and the battery pops out?
Along those lines, it looks like the (irradiated) land currently occupied by the Japanese will shortly be occupied by the Chinese.
I second the motion in the comments that people should pedantically correct "statistically significant" as "statistically detectable".
Yep. Google likes to think they hire the best and do a lot yet they can't maintain or launch products beyond gmail, maps, and meet/chat, and that last one sucks big time. Its seriously like no one at google knows what they are doing or actually does any work at all.
My theory is that static site generators took off because of young developers learning via local development without the aid of a web server.

Old-fashioned HTML/CSS with minimal server-side scripting can do all of this stuff easier with fewer limitations. And you can have dynamic content.
Everyone whispers "Dr. Manhattan"
No crap, that's significantly more than I'm making and I work 50 hours most week plus have a requirement to maintain certifications and write cookbooks and/or blog posts after hours. It's a bonkers salary if one actually works.

I wonder if the OP's company needs any data engineers.
That'd mean people underground (or under thick layer of concrete, like in skyscrapers) are not creative.
Very interesting article.

Reading this part . . . :

"And he did go back to Rome, and then Della Rovere made him paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling knowing Michelangelo hated painting, basically as punishment for trying to run away. I’m not exaggerating."

. . . made me think of a quote by El Greco I once read:

"When he was later asked what he thought about Michelangelo, El Greco replied that "he was a good man, but he did not know how to paint", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Greco#cite_ref-Scholz20_43-...

I thought that sounded almost like jealousy from El Greco's part and "how can you even say that about THE Michelangelo", but maybe he had a point after all (but what would I know :-)?
I could say exactly the same thing about my on-ear Bose wireless noise cancellation headphones. They are bigger, heavier and more cumbersome than AirPods, but so what. They still do the job, and I don't call them a "platform" any more than I would call my PC's keyboard a "platform".
The foundation gets plenty of donations. No, the one who is likely to get rich from this is Moxie and his buddies.
Why, because they are one node behind the competition?

Intel pulled in revenue of $77.9 billion last year. I don't think total collapse is a realistic outcome.
> Regulate how?

make a committee to vote to fund a study to create a subcommittee to vote to fund a study on something from a decade ago with a small, non-representative sample size, reaching predetermined conclusions that justify the need for the committee and all related subcommittees, instead of getting anything done.

y'know, government.
Netflix's famous slowdown may have been the fault of Cogent, Netflix's direct vendor, moreso than Comcast. See:

The same argument can be made for pretty much all advertising. If I'm watching a YouTube video about a film review or some video game, I'm not interested in whatever they're advertising these days (the fact that I can't even come up with an ad I've seen recently is telling). Why is porn any different?
Right, and it's not like there's actually a hard requirement for perfect uptime in a lot of settings.
This is awesome! Great write up. Just loved it. Thank you :)
That already happened when I dropped out at 16 and attended community college with 16-60 year olds, as it should be. Maturity lessons would certainly help a whole lot of folks, myself included.

Who said we had to have grades at all? And why there needs to be a split and a set progression? I think some might leave at 16 and some at 28, both could be fine and ideal.
Parents already get tons of money via tax breaks us childless folk don’t get...
Eh, to me Reddit is just another example of Eternal September syndrome. Reddit took a nosedive in quality shortly after the Digg implosion.

> Is it because they fundamentally misunderstand what they have? Because they don't care? Because they're greedy, or just plain incompetent?

Another possibility: because it doesn't make (enough) money. I say (enough) because simply turning a profit isn't good enough when you have investors expecting large returns.
Nobody who knows that the ads are just put there by an algorithm, and everybody under 35 knows that.
On the macOS front I’ve only heard of Yabai and amethyst. I settled on amethyst since it didn’t require disabling SIP but I’d be interested to hear about the drawbacks you’ve seen in others. Amethyst seems to work okayish, but I definitely would be interested in something more advanced if the drawbacks aren’t too painful.
Reddit will warn you if a community allows NFSW content, then it will warn you again when you are about to see something NFSW.

Many subreddits do not allow NFSW content and moderators will ban your contributions if they violate their community rules.

NFSW stuff is pretty much an opt-in experience at this point, and that's fine.
Because kids playact violence constantly, it's a natural progression in growing up and coming to grips with the world.

Kids playacting sex is cause for child protective services and a trip to prison for some relative.

I.e., Hollywood is just catering to an infantile audience.
Personally I fucking love it. But I like things that are actually different and balsy. As opposed to minor changes that are easy for people to comprehend.

On the other hand, this is so different that there is a slight chance it is a joke. But I hope not.
Because of the design or functionality?
In English, “America” refers to the USA, 99.9% of the time. (This is not just true in the US but also in the UK and I am pretty sure other English-speaking countries too).

What is called “América” in Spanish and Portuguese, we call “the Americas” and consider to be two continents (North America and South America), not one.

I have no opinion on which usage is “correct”. Just pointing out that the person you’re replying to almost certainly used “America” to mean the USA, not the land mass that includes Brazil.
You think they will edit the glass demo out of the version they post?
Gravel roads are ubiquitous in farming country and take out windows regularly.
So did the ATV!
Watching this was... cerebral. The impression I get is that Tesla made this truck because they wanted to, and they don't really care too much what people think of it.
so assuming Elon launchs one of these into space heading for mars in the near future, will this thing drive on mars? Does the air pressurization system, super rugged shell, and ATV make this thing ideal for life as a martian?
The only "explanation" is that this thing has been made to run on Mars. And still, didn't need to be so ugly, my eyes hurt.
Any chance this is the chassis of SpaceX's inevitable Mars Rover being tested on Earth first?

GUTS Tickets | Junior .. Senior Full stack developer | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | (partial) Onsite €35k-€70k p.a. depending on experience, part-time/full-time, equitiy plan available

Are you a developer who loves live music? And do you want to join the ticket revolution? At GUTS we’re not only building a product, but as a team we chasing a common goal: Stop disgraceful secondary ticket prices and ticket fraud. We don’t work to punch out a time card, we work hard to give fans what they deserve. GUTS is a ticketing system which uses blockchain technology to register ownership of SMART-tickets. GUTS makes ticket fraud impossible. The ticket can only be (re)sold at a fixed price, so no more disgraceful prices for secondary tickets.

GUTS Tickets is hiring frontend and backend junior / senior developers! We have about 2 to 3 positions to fill depending on experience and flexibility of the developers.

Our current stack consists of

- Python 3.5 / Django / Django Request Framework - Ethereum / solidity / blockchain technology

- EmberJS (2.10)

- react native

To expand our team we're hiring for different roles:

- junior .. senior backend developer. Experience with Python, Django, DRF is preferred, experience with ethereum would be nice

- junior .. senior frontend developer. Experience with EmberJS (>2.3) is preferred

- react-native developer

Of course full stack frontend/backend/mobile developers that have experience with a mix of the above technologies are also very welcome to apply

We're located in the center of Amsterdam (Leidseplein). We prefer people who can occassionally be onsite so full remote working is not an option right now. We also cannot provide visa's or relocation services at this time.

If you're interested in working with us, please send your CV to jobs@guts.tickets

If I manufacture the best X device, should I be limited because its better than the rest? This isn't like oil right? Oil is a derived from earth and you can control it by owning more land and supply. The next IT device could come from anywhere in the world and any manufacturer.

If you have a work environment that only kills the marginal...then you have a work environment that kills the marginal. You need to start thinking about physical requirements and medical examinations before hiring, much like the military. Or maybe you need to think about putting a stop to a system that is really about hazing instead of getting stuff done.

The second might improve other things about the efficiency of your business as well. That will have economic consequences not just to you and your employees, and is therefore a thing of proper public scrutiny.
I'm from New Zealand, and I've lived in London for a while too - I've rarely heard anyone speak this way, and certainly it wouldn't be considered correct to write like that.
I've found Coursepad [1] is a really nice app for Coursera courses. It can automatically download the videos, keeps track of which ones you've watched, and even allows you to take notes while watching the video. Playback up to 1.8x as well.

This goes for pg too.
You can hardly conclude that broadly screening populations are ineffective from this study. You have to consider, among other things, the treatments available for the given disease being screened and the cost of that screening program. If treatments for the disease already have a low success rate (what is low?), the timing of detection doesn't really help. Additionally, if the cost of the screening program is negligible (what is negligible?), then even successfully treating a few patients may be worth it.
I think we're agreeing. A lot of people hitched their wagon to Trump as long as it was printing. His supporters attacking the US capitol means that they finally have to make a choice to either stay or cut ties so that they can be there to fill cabinet roles in a Rubio/Cotton/Cruz administration rather than a Trump Jr. one.
There is no difference. Both groups are rioters.

There is also plain hypocrisy in both camps, when one camp riots, the other camp pretends not to understand that there is festering anger from injustice.

But every time, whenever one camps riots, they feel justified
and righteous, and the opposing camp, feels enlightened as to
and justified in retaliation.

WOKE is bad.
EXTREME privilege is bad.

Finding common ground and coming back to our senses might save us all.

Both camps are just a bunch of babies...
I don't know what "T_D" is, but Parler doesn't "espouse" anything. It was founded as an alternative to the social media companies that are de-platforming right wing voices. That doesn't mean more than a tiny percentage on Parler are "supportive of people being killed". Actually I'd like to see some examples - have not yet seen anyone there advocate for violence. Parler actually does remove such postings so if you see something, report it.
You're joking, right? I for one am proud of Cloudflare for taking a stand against cancel culture, because one of these days it could hit you or me and I want to support people who will stand in behind me in the name of free speech.
The fact the capital got stormed has more to do with the Trumpist sympathize of the Police, then the protesters themselves. If the were a "normal" police reaction (say midway between BLM and this, like in Hong Kong), they would have never gotten inside, and this would be a non-story.

Going after Trump fans is just center-left back-slapping, and all the worse because ignoring the police partisanship is extremely reckless and irresponsible.

Our civil liberates will continue erode for no good reason, and our institutions will be no safer. Replace the police with something else they're not afraid to hold accountable. If there is to be a monopoly of violence, it must be held only in (small d) democratic authority.
