I think the worst thing about Apple is the lack of transparency. I haven't checked for some time, but if you file a bug that's already been reported they just close it. You don't get to see other people's bugs so you just get to wait. And there's nothing quite as frustrating as finding a WebKit bug, finding out it's already been discovered but the only real information in their tracker is a message for Apple employees about where the buf can be found in the internal Apple bug tracker.

> Given the number of genes involved in intelligence I would be more surprised if they didn’t share an underlying genetic basis.

That doesn't follow. Simply because the genes sets overlap doesn't mean they have to correlate. If there are 10k genes affecting schizophrenia and 10k intelligence (plausible scales from the GWASes), then since there aren't that many varying genes there is likely overlap, but there's no reason to expect simply from this overlap that they will covary; the genes conferring benefits for one could confer problems for the other. In fact, the overlap could be total without creating correlation; and it would be just as plausible to argue for anti-correlation/inverse-correlation - the same gene could protect against schizophrenia and reductions in intelligence by making neurons more robust or defending against infections. There should be some deeper reason for any correlation of IQ/schizophrenia than simply 'they both are affected by a lot of genes'. (Well, an awful lot of traits are affected by a lot of genes, you know... Polygenicity is expected to be the norm for most of the heritable stuff.)

Worse, there are GWASes for both schizophrenia and IQ; the former has made a lot more progress than the latter, but nevertheless, I am not aware that any particular overlap in hits has been noticed.
Part of what makes the system work as well as it does is honesty. Honesty and integrity are two of the things that the clearance interviews look for.

Eventual security, perhaps, but that's a loooong stretch-goal. The fact of the matter is, even Servo, which is written-from-scratch and lacks all the UI goodies, is only a fraction Rust. It'll be a long time before supported libraries could be rewritten and rust, and I reckon a rewrite of all these things is likely to cause more new human-error security flaws than it will eliminate pointer/memory related security issues. In the (very) long run, though, I agree.

Ask HN: What do you use to draw graphs?
In this case I mean plots, not vertex-edge type graphs.

I don't often have to draw plots, and when I do they don't usually have to be very complication. Sometimes I just drop into Excel (or the LibreOffice equivalent) and plot things there[0], sometimes I use python to generate ppm files "by hand" and then use "convert" to convert them into png files[1].

What do you use?
Thought: Maybe the problem isn't one of staying focused, but the real issue is a lack of deep passion for the idea?

Although maybe one thing you might do is to work on smaller ideas that can happen in a small space of time (say a calendar month vs. a year).
For me its past 'like'... I think we need them. Abuses will continue without some sort of oversight (legal or behavioral); corporations are beholden to their share holders and not their employees. Medical/construction workers have established safety and paid overtime policies going for them and we need to emulate something like that.

In addition, we (IT workers) should look at other avenues. Like the AMA (medical) and ALA (legal) professions we need an organization (or PAC/lobby) with political clout that influences law makers and fights for IT employee/labor rights. I would love for a David Boies or someone with that type of clout/knowledge to grow such an organization.
Vest's value proposition is very weak in my opinion.

The service is meant to solve the problem demonstrated by a recent Goldman Sachs survey: only 18% of millenials think that the stock market is the "best way to save for the future". If someone can figure out how to get more millenials investing, they could make money off commission, brokerage fees and the like.

First problem: Options are usually built for savvy investors who operate on short-mid term time horizons and with volatile/uncertain underlying assets. Not millenials who want to earn market returns through an ETF or hand-picked portfolio of blue chips + hot tech stocks. Options are not a solution for long-term investment strategies - diversified portfolios, index funds, and ETFs are.

Second problem: If I really cared enough to add some downside protection to going long on Google, Coke, Visa, etc. I would literally just google "how to place a stop loss order etrade" and find this article [1] that describes how to set up an automatic limit: enter stopping price, specify whether it's a stop on quote or stop on limit order, specify whether to buy or to sell, specify how many shares, execute. So why would I pay a non-negligible percentage of my upside on top of the option premium for something that I could do myself in literally 2 minutes?

The reason we don't trust the stock market is because the financial sector has a reputation for greed, corruption, and manipulation which will inevitably lead to another economic calamity coupled with a stock market crash. Making options marginally more accessible to casual investors is not coming close to solving this problem.

> What if the model was flipped, so instead of advertisers paying Facebook to cover their operation costs, individual users covered their own operation costs,

Why would that be a good deal for Facebook? With current revenue scheme they cover operation costs, R&D, various projects that do not directly contribute any revenue, various internal projects that fail and no one else hears about them, growth and marketing campaigns, various campuses and real estate around the globe and even then have some profits left over.

Why would any software company willingly cut its R&D funnel and profits that can be used as a rainy day fund?

> Right now there's no way to price how much a user is worth and how much they actually cost, which seems like a very strange way to run a business.

I'm sure there is if you have access to internal data, and entire departments in the company know not only operational cost per user, but can segment the costs by country and/or product (feed vs platform vs messaging vs video).

This article is slightly wrong in one regard. The special ire for IE was drawn in part from the fact that features were grossly misimplemented. The infamous box model bug is mentioned, but it's curious that the hasLayout bug is not [1]. IE6 was drawing enmity for its bugs long before its lack of HTML5 or CSS3 features; although, to be fair, HTML4 and CSS2 were themselves horribly buggy, unimplementable specifications. Its the similar bugginess of Safari (e.g., IndexedDB) that's causing people to compare it to IE6.

[1] For those to have the fortune to not have been doing web development back then, IE only applied CSS to a small subset of elements, using an internal property known as hasLayout to determine which ones. MS eventually wrote a guide explaining this to web developers: <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb250481%28v=VS.85%....

Well, considering that it is incredibly cheap to host and distribute digital media these days, individuals could still pay significantly more than the advertisers and it wouldn't cost them more than a few dollars a month.

This co-op that your describing is basically the approach taken by certain songwriters and recording artists with Tidal, but again, we're talking about shares in the aggregator and purposefully deciding not to treat what is published as property in a marketplace.

Songs played on terrestrial radio, for example, work very differently. You're right, if songwriters thought their content was valuable intellectual property, they wouldn't let a radio station play it for free, and they don't. Radio stations have to pay a percentage of their advertising profits as performance royalties to the songwriters.

What's interesting is that Facebook seems to be headed towards a private version of this and is starting to share ad-revenue with content creators, mainly because when you don't do this, the content that people click on is so filled up with advertisements that it ruins the experience.

Imagine Top 40 radio without performance royalties... the songs would probably be nothing but jingles as the songwriters would have to embed their profit making mechanisms directly in to the content itself!
Interestingly MUDs still have some niche to fill. Granted, a lot of them withered roughly a decade ago when MMORPGs became mainstream, but there are some that are fully alive and kicking.

Seems like it's highly dependent on the number of things you liked/followed, not on the page itself.

In one extreme case you have 0 friends, and have liked that and only that page. You're likely to see 100% of their postings.

On the other extreme, you like that page + 500 others + you are friends with 1,500 people who all produce some type of content. Why would you expect to see content of that one page over 2,000 other potential sources?

Assuming the wild 1PB guess above... that could be anything from 100mb of a single volume lost, all the way up to 100 million volumes each losing one byte of data. There isn't enough information to determine the number of volumes affected. 0.000001% of disk space isn't very informative. Publishing the percentage and/or number of persistent volumes affected would give us an idea of the scale of the problem.

So it is a column that is a collection of short opinions on various matters. I presume it was submitted because of the "Vest" section, YC funded startup that sells option strategies to the investors.

Yes, the point that big finance has the economy of scale in option trading is true. But only if you are able to fit into the scale of their operations. Big finance reaction to the retail investors is very well summarized in the GS Elevator tweet (parody account, no relation to the GS, the investment bank): https://twitter.com/gselevator/status/189798000078499841 ("Oddlot" means a position of less than 100 stocks). So there _might_ be some value to be created in the retail investor niche.

Edit: according to another comment, Vest does not sell odllots either, and their products seems to be seriously overpriced, so I am not sure what their value prop is exactly.
> On the desktop the network is the bottleneck, not the rendering.

That's pretty oversimplified. For lots of workloads—e.g. interacting with widgets on the page, composing emails/etc, scrolling, opening pop-out menus, interacting with Google Maps—the rendering (broadly speaking) is the bottleneck.

In fact, I'm of the opinion that improving layout and graphics performance is the single biggest thing we can do to make Web apps not feel slow compared to their native counterparts. People still (often quite rightly) feel that the Web is slower than native (however "native" is defined). The difference is unlikely to be network-related, and it's unlikely to be JavaScript either for most apps—JS performance may not be at C++-level yet (though asm.js will get there in time), but it's certainly on par with Objective-C and Java/Dalvik. The problem is mostly styling, layout, and graphics in my view: how to get from the DOM to rendered pixels as quickly as possible. Those are, not coincidentally, what Servo has focused on.
