Fund Prosemirror because you think collaborative rich text editing should not be a technology reserved only for web giants to have and acquire. Firebase/Firepad(acquired), Hackpad(acquired), Appjet/Etherpad(acquired), Wikidocs(acquired)...

Fund Prosemirror because Marijn Haverbeke has a good track record with Code Mirror. https://codemirror.net/

Fund it because open source shouldn't only be about free as in beer. http://coderanger.net/funding-foss/

Fund it because it is an impressive piece of work in its own right and current state. http://prosemirror.net/demo_collab.html#edit-Example

Fund it because in Marijn's altruistic intentions -- its already on github https://github.com/ProseMirror/prosemirror to look at, he's asking for only a very small amount of compensation for a ton of work, and he's written incredible blog posts educating everyone. http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/collaborative-editing.html

Fund it if only because you have faith in humanity.
I think scraping is probably the simplest but the ethics are just as questionable. Any method you try is probably going to be met with roadblocks from Twitter because you are inherently trying to use the site in a way that is against their rules. Like you said, there may be a fair use argument to be made, but that won't stop Twitter from at least trying to make it as hard as possible for you.
I've never seen the proof of the claims from the article discussed here three days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10099180

"Information transmitted: All text typed on the keyboard is stored in temporary files, and sent (once per 30 mins) to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net pre.footprintpredict.com reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com"

On another side, MSFT never issued the statement what they actually collect, probably because their lawyers will need a month or two to clear that up.

If the quote is true, it's a real full-blown keylogger. It's hard to believe. But there should be the pressure to find out the truth.

The worst thing is that it seems the users also don't care.

Do read kstrauser's top post in this discussion regarding automatic snooping of kids and emailing the parents, implemented by MSFT in Windows 10.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10111271

He posted the snapshot later. Unbelievable. But it seems they really do this. Built in spying, then sending reports by e-mail.
They wouldn't be able to tell that it's automated though. You can probably do it with a single twitter account, without explicit API access. Just have your account follow all the politicians and screenshot the differences in your feed.
Course in critical thinking?

(Though it's very difficult to make people actually use this in decision-making.)
Trust is the essence of things going crazy in this field.
Who on earth can we trust these days?
We dont even know if someone writing a comment on the internet isn't an agent of some company or government.
So why should we trust in doctors selling chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while no one, until this day, has fully understood what cancer actually is, where it comes from and admitted that!
The internet revealed most secrets about our own systems and how trust is being abused in almost every field. Pharmaindustries will never admit that the human body itself is the only thing in the universe that can heal our illnesses. Healing is a job our body does, not the medicine or a doctor. All drugs and docs can do is improve the conditions for our body to actually heal itself. In the worst case they will just chop that thing off causing you to be ill, and tell you that you've been healed.
So why should we trust them anyway?
I do not give alot about alternative techniques myself, since most of the time someone just wants to make money or fame with it, but i can see no difference in classical medicine these days. So i still visit a regular doctor, but i question his assumptions and double triple check what he is trying to make me do.
They're not a recruiter in the traditional sense, but I quite like hired.com - they're low-touch, and I much prefer to browse a list of candidates once a week than field endless emails and calls and hard-selling from traditional recruiters.

We've hired from them, and although I think the signal-to-noise ratio has got worse in the past year, I usually still see one or two interesting people.

Think back thirty years. Imagine if ABC or CBS could demand that the New York Times not publish statements made by a politician on the nightly news or aggregate information about the political stances of a representative.
Hm, I distinctly recall media coverage that there was consensus among several doctors that Jobs would've had the best treatment possible with the likely outcome of remission had he only engaged with the treatment protocol instead of relying on un-proven, hokey reasoning.

Also I do recall Jobs ended up getting a new liver in 2009, so I'm pretty sure that prolonged his time on the planet by a pretty significant amount. I remember this because I looked into how he was able to get that liver...sort of like how he was being rebellious and clever to get a new Mercedes Benz every 6 months so legally he wouldn't need a license plate on his car, he managed to get himself on multiple lists and set up residency in a place that would be advantageous to get what he wanted...
I'm the same way at a recruiting firm. I worked at a company with a larger dev shop before landing here for about a year and a half thankfully but even so, there's a lot of work that goes into being a single man dev shop.

Communication: Keeping both the recruiters and management in the know about what is going on. This means I need to be decent about planning, bug tracking, tool choices, etc.

No one else is really technical here at all so occasionally you run into the hurdle of "It doesn't look like anything is getting done!". It really means I have to be very good at communicating complex topics to the layman. Not a bad skill to add the repertoire by any stretch of the means though.

Building a small team: There was a fresh grad on the social media team with a Comp Sci degree from NYU. "What's he doing in social media" I exclaimed! Get him over here!". I guess he focused on music instead of computer science at school but he's picking things up.

There's a lot to being a one man team.
I definitely agree that the societal pressure for a degree is largely based on getting a job, I just argue that we should acknowledge that the role of the university isn't job training. We're misleading young people.

University makes you more employable in the sense that many companies are looking for well rounded individuals that show they have a dedication to learning. Did I need to take courses in studio art, afro-am, and comparative literature for my job as a programmer? No, but they made me a better person, citizen, and probably employee.

We also need to do better at advising young people about the debt they're about to incur before they go ahead and take those loans. It's very difficult at 18 to comprehend what having $28k in debt, on average, is like.

I'm not trying to move the goal posts, I'm just arguing that we need to set expectations a lot better.
Anything you put on the internet is indeed immutable and irrevocable. This comment included. Hell, you don't even need to hit "submit" - the keystrokes and mouse movements - they are all captured and piped to many different analytics services in real time. It might not be surfaced on a publicly accessible site, but rest assured, it's in a database somewhere.
I have hired plenty of excellent software engineers of various seniority levels who had no presence on the web WHATSOEVER.

My biggest problem with food is people's obsession with talking about it. I can't help but feel that people make it such a huge deal about how much/little/what people eat that we're creating food issues in children that might otherwise not have it.
Nice!

A bit off-topic here, but still related I guess. I have a 1 year old daughter and I keep wondering what would be the right time to introduce her to computers and programming in the future?

I have always thought that she should spend time reading books, playing in the backyard and lego before she delves into computers.

Have any other programmer parents thought about this as well? Or any other experiences on how they introduced programming to their kids?
Also think what impact it's gonna have on organization. Would they have access to everything an employee types? Any website they visit?
I simply disagree.

Many of these sites didn't originally spring up to serve the public interest. They're an offspring of something that started a couple years ago: Twitter bots that scrape for anyone's deleted messages and then highlight them.

Those services are extremely toxic. They meant that as friends of mine joined the service I'd have to warn them: don't delete things on Twitter, because there are asshole bots that will use deleted messages to fuck with you.

The public interest implications of some of these new political Twitter services are more straightforward, but that doesn't mean it's Twitter's obligation to sacrifice user experience for what is probably a marginal public interest benefit. Twitter is legitimately caught between the public interest and their own interests, and I'd have trouble blaming them either way.

Why do I think the public interest implications here are marginal? A bunch of reasons:

* Politicians are quickly going to learn how hostile Twitter is, and assign professional spindroids to their accounts (or to filter the messages that they themselves post).

* It's not like Twitter can prevent deleted tweets from leaking. They'll get screenshot anyways. This just keeps the delete-shaming phenomenon from being shoved in everyone's face.

On a previous thread about Twitter, someone pointed out that Twitter shouldn't do this because they should behave like infrastructure. But Twitter doesn't want to be infrastructure; the infrastructure market position is very bad for them.
Are you looking to just bridge people wireless -> wired connections or do you want something akin to a home router setup that handles DHCP and firewalling?

Either way, having too many devices connected to the same (single) radio can make it hard for any traffic to get through. A brief overview on airtime is here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wi-fi-performance,2985-1... -- in your situation, a minimum of two access points would be a good idea.

If you're looking for just access points, then I'd recommend a 3-pack of Ubiquiti UAP-Pros, spaced out relatively evenly around your work environment: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-Sys... -- configuring them requires free server software, but once they're up and running, the server software can be shut down and the devices can run independently.

I recommend these as a Ubiquiti enterprise certified person with a current deployment of 30 UAP-ACs, on my way up to about 80 devices in total. I have one auditorium room with about 200 seats that, so far, 3 access points seem to cover without trouble.
That's true, but I can't justify this being enabled by default. As something parents can turn on if they feel they need to, sure, but not like this.

What's misleading?
> mathematically, hetero-sexual partnerships always draw from both sets equally

Uh, no, not from the sets under study. You've ignored time and space. The sets under study are the set of men and set of women currently living in a particular countries. The sets from whom their past partners are drawn (even assuming purely heterosexual relationships) may include people no longer living at the time of the survey, as well as people who are alive, but not living in the country under study (either at the time of the survey, or even ever.)

If you managed to get responses from representative sample of all men and women who had ever lived (which, you know, is logistically tricky), then you could validly argue that all heterosexual partnerships must draw evenly from both groups. But you don't, so you can't.

The imbalance could just be that UK men are more likely to have had past relationships with women not currently living in the UK than UK women are to have had with men not currently living in the UK. (It could also be the kind of reporting bias you suggest, and there are certainly other sociological reasons to suspect that such reporting bias is at least partially to blame -- its just not, even without bringing into it questions of same-sex pairings, the kind of mathematical necessity you make it out to be.)
This is very anecdotal, but in my experience with the people in my life that fall for these cures are very, very concerned with themselves and typically lean toward needing excessive control of everything in their life. It appears to me to stem from an obsession with ones own self/well being that leads to this overthinking.

I've had success with trying to steer them into the thinking that they'll probably be just fine and if not, it really isn't as huge of a deal since we're all going to die. On top of that getting sick has a whole lot to do with luck and genetics so they should try to accept that no matter what they do it isn't going to be up to them in most cases anyway. Lastly, I help them focus on the great people around them instead of continuing to dwell on whether or not they have optimum health.

Of course, you can't just call them a selfish jerk, but instead try to guide them out of that loop of self obsession.
There is obviously nothing guaranteeing that will happen. However, it has done so every single time that a correction has happened in the past. This is where the word "faith" applies to the markets.
When arguing with imbeciles, it's best to remember that, from a distance, it is impossible to tell which is which.

I'd argue it's actually more about practicality and reliability. Windows isn't particularly well-suited for hard-real-time situations (like, presumably, a CNC milling machine). This is an environment that's usually better suited to RTLinux, VxWorks, etc. or some one-off dedicated program written in something like Ada.
Just check if you already have them installed or not

Willingness to sext (and candor to discuss it) is probably just standing in for open and positive views on sex, and/or the presence of a vigorous and passionate sex life.

Although I appreciate the evidence that the sexting isn't harmful to relationships, I think this study is basically stating "People with healthy sexual relationships often have healthy overall relationships. (p = Duh.)"
Unfortunately I haven't really written on the ideas behind it, though I probably will soon. A couple people asked me to submit it to the 'Future Programming Workshop,' so I was thinking of putting together some kind of writeup—but I had no money to attend.

The main idea was to display a running program's state at the same level of abstraction at which programmers think about their programs. I often found myself writing 'one off' visualizations of data structures for complex pieces of code; this was an attempt at a general solution: it would be able to render all of the different (visual) classes of data structures—the programmer would just need to say which of their data structures should be 'monitored.'
My UK govt. is trying the backdoor / ban all encryption and is complicit in our "security services" getting unfettered access to citizen data. As was the previous govt. And all govts before it, and all govts in all countries.

Getting them to enact and defend the opposite will take a Herculean effort to make the citizens aware, let alone care.

I despair.
The only thing that needs to be judged is how the security breach happened in the first place, not the lives of its users.
Ugh, these sorts of "shenanigans" are the main reason I'm sticking to consulting. I just can't handle being nickle-and-dimed at every turn anymore.

I think modern "foods," of the extracted and refined sugars sort, and artificial colors and flavors sort, definitely play a large role in this.

I find all this searching for bio-chemical processes to blame obesity on pretty silly. A non-trivial portion of society has shown it is possible to not be obese. People have also shown it is possible to go from being obese to not being obese.

There are several inter-playing factors that shoulder most the blame I would say.

One major factor that seems to be missing from most conversations is that there is a huge mental factor in obesity I would surmise. And I think you're overlooking that when you ask why do some people feel satiety when others don't.

I think obesity can rightly be considered a mental illness. Why do some people continue to eat when it does their body no good? Everyone probably does this on occasion, but why do obese people do it routinely?

Most obese people I'm guessing would tell you that a lot of their eating has an emotional component, beyond a feeling of hunger.

When you think about it, present day "food" companies, are just as bad as tobacco companies, arguably worse when you calculate the costs. How many people are suffering from diabetes, or potentially will in coming years, how many from other 'diseases of civilization,' what amount of health and monetary resources are expended on these preventable conditions each year?

These are diseases of a civilization that is structured poorly. Just think about it, a civilization of overworked, overstressed, underslept, mindless-media over-exposed people who emotionally stuff their faces with garbage 'foods.'

The "food" industry and regulation there of no doubt shoulders a lot of blame, just consider for some people, the majority of their food energy intake comes basically from candy.

It appears that 'food' companies are exploitative of the low iq, low income segments of our society, but in the US I think that has a lot to do with agricultural policies that subsidize sugar and corn production and the like. And the people running these "food" companies navigate current market dynamics and govt incentives/subsidies to maximize shareholder returns, and that is producing negative health results for many people.

So with these factors considered, I would say that there are better ways of addressing this issue than the search for obesity immunity conferring pills and the like.
I use it so much that I barely feel like I'm using it. To me it's just part of my phone. I slide to the right, I see my agenda, my next flight or booking or last bus, the weather, news I'm interested in. It's a 5-second interaction most of the time. It doesn't need to be more. (I'm in the Netherlands)
> Could it not be both?

Sure! It definitely could be. I'd be interested to see if there has been some documented cultural shift, independent of marketing by food giants. One generation seems like a short time frame for that kind of thing though.

But for now, the most direct and clear link is between the food available and people's weight.

Big Investors Are Finding Ripe Startup Targets in Europe
Most grunt work is automated and so much knowledge is leveraged even solo-shops can keep all tech together. Good! That said, data from hard-science problems is the new nut to crack. I almost cry thinking of startups like rescale.com, the chance they offer to independent researchers and scientists to do so much more than it can be done in a shared lab or cluster. When I read of $$$ burn rate in the SV, I cringe: one ikea table quoted at $250 is one good full day of work with rescale.com. Unbelievable, make me think VCs and investors should ask for much more value for money when funding science startups.
What do you mean by "naively think they are genuine?" What false assumptions are peopke making about recruiters?
There's a middle ground there where failure is an option, but with lots of redundancy and modularity so that such a failure is isolated and quickly resolved (at least temporarily). This is the Erlang/OTP approach to software reliability.

> Pharmaceutical companies may not do prevention so well, but this article is about what happens after prevention fails, at which point you need cures, and every pharma company out there is trying to be the next one to produce a big (and probably expensive) cure.

Pharma companies are a lot bigger on treatments than cures (how much of this is that treatments are easier to find than cures, and how much of it is that cures eliminate their own market and thus make less business sense is a matter of debate.)

Important difference.

Especially given someone who uses web scraping doesn't necessarily mean they attempted to use the API, had an API key, or ever had the possibility of said non-existent API key being revoked.
But at least take the 61% option + all your other remedies then? I'm assuming the 39% failure is "the cancer kills you" and not "the surgery or complications thereof kill you."

I would assume the oncologist in OP has less of a problem with people also doing other stuff they believe helps them, vs not including "traditional" (aka scientific) medical procedures that statistically improve their chances of survival.
