For a doctor with a valid work permit for the US, becoming a US-certified doctor (allowed to practice medicine) is essentially the same process as for any US doctor.

You're basically interviewing to study under an existing doctor in a particular specialization for a period depending on the exact specialization, but minimum 2 years and I believe up to 5 years (you have to interview and get hired for this job). After that, assuming the guy/woman you studied under supports your application, you get your medical licence. The issue is interviewing successfully without support from a US institution.

For a lawyer it's much simpler : either you interview and get hired by a company, or you take the bar exam. Exactly the same process as US citizens (you do need a valid work permit - but that would be required for actually doing any law work anyway - although it can delay things). I know 2 lawyers doing cases in the US that aren't US citizens.

Right but the advantage of H2 using a system like this could make solar a viable round the clock energy source. If one could run on conventional solar cells during daylight hours whilst also using another array of these to stockpile H2 for use in a fuel cell at night, then it could provide 24hr power vs. Lion batteries with .6MJ/kg. Clearly they have a lot more work to do before it would be viable, but I think it has interesting possibilities.

Re:PHP. That's, this is why Wordpress won on the web.
It's not just programmers, it's the left in general. The left, in the US, is pro-immigration.

The left is supposed to be champion of the poor, and one thing is damn sure : restricting employer's access to cheap labor (meaning restricting immigration + high import taxes + restrictions on global workforces) certainly help that a lot.

Although I'm starting to see the same in Europe. The "old" leftist parties are vehemently anti-immigration, for exactly this reason : it helps their constituency. The "young" left is really almost libertarian, which I would normally classify under extreme right.

But I think the problem America's two-party political system: sometimes it feels like it's extreme-right versus lunatic-right.
Ask HN: How do you limit liability for side projects?
So I'm thinking of putting up an online service as a side project. However, since it will be storing customer data, I'm concerned about liability. Since this is just a hobby for now, I don't currently have funding to incorporate, or have a lawyer draw up bullet-proof terms of service. Should I just sit on my project until I can put some money to it, or just take my chances?
Very good point. Both of you. CLI have zero discoverability (even with good completion, you're greeted with a vacuum, for a newcomer that's very weird). GUI are far too stateful and coupled.

Apple has done a pretty good job of building and supporting a long tail of apps. They're working on it with music. Why can't they take that model to content?
I am endlessly surprised at how ingrained this idea is too. Hanging out in places like HN, it feels like that's the only way one can build a business when it really isn't. There's nothing wrong with starting slow and gradually transitioning to working on it full time as/if demand grows.
Oh, yeah, you're right. They put their globally valid, unconstrained intermediate cert in a device whose primary purpose is large-scale SSL MITM, and they MITM'd themselves without realizing it, but yes, they weren't intending to do large-scale non-consensual SSL MITM. I'd forgotten the part where they were planning on using the device as a way to issue normal certs and ignoring the MITM capabilities.

This reminds me of the early days of CompuServe and Prodigy, which had exclusive content*. It worked for a while until the open web became the bigger audience that dwarfed all others. I think the big players now may be repeating patterns of the past. Open standards tend to trump closed platforms over time. If this is the case it presents an opportunity to create a new open version of what Apple is doing now. Web 4.0?

"We would only improve the internet by striking back against giant, centralized ad serving systems. How anyone could honestly defend cross-site targeted ads is beyond me. Do they improve anyone's browsing experience? Do they honestly make all that much money for the sites that run them? For the businesses that pay for them?"

Very important question I don't see asked a lot. Of course there was an article a while back that suggested that it would get way worse before it got better.

I find it really disturbing that Mozilla sides with this view that ads make the web possible. Who can blame them? They owe pretty much the majority of thier early funding and promotions to Google who was getting referrals in exchange. So the hard truth is Mozilla used and still uses ads to fund Firefox development.

Could they have thrived without doing referrals? Would the web be worse off if they never took off? Would the world be worse off if the Web stagnated? Who could know?

Great added point, Gustomaximus. If you don't create a good feedback loop in your company, then people at the top making the final call for a promotion are going to go on the only info they have: their personal experience.

Deloitte got rid of performance reviews recently and one of the things they replaced it with was asking managers who they thought was ready for promotion and why. They also asked if you had to start a team over again, would you want this person on your team. I think all of those questions cut through the BS and are exactly the kinds of 360 questions you're suggesting.

Imagine a manager is up for a director role and each person they manage is anonymously asked "Would you work for them again if they were building a new team?" It could be a great way to understand how much people really like working for them.

Google actually does this with their questions every manager's teams are asked it affects compensation and promotions for managers:

1) My manager gives me actionable feedback that helps me improve my performance

2) My manager does not “micromanage” (i.e., get involved in details that should be handled at other levels).

3) My manager shows consideration for me as a person.

4) My manager regularly shares relevant information from his/her manager and senior leadership.

5) My manager has had a meaningful discussion with me about my career development in the past six months.

6) I would recommend my manager to other Googlers.

> The complaint says they notified Amazon and GoDaddy, and apparently no take-down resulted, so I think DMCA does not apply.

I find that rather suspicious. If you file a proper DMCA request than the provider must, ASAP, take the content down - regardless of if the content is actually infringing. This is to protect their "safe harbor" status to make sure the government doesn't go after godaddy but rather the individual (rightfully so - godaddy doesn't and shouldn't control or monitor what users upload on their services). An example of it in use at github [1].

My sneaking suspicion is they either they didn't actually send a DMCA takedown request or they filed it improperly. Or perhaps the owners of the sites sent a counter-notice which puts godaddy in the clear and forces these individuals to sue the site owners (if they wish to have the content removed).

> Can a commercial service monitor a given email address and keep track of breaches affecting that address?

I think there is a difference between "here is a text box - enter your husband's email to check if he is a cheater" and "we will alert you privately if your email is ever leaked". I don't see any problems with the later.

> Does it depend on the order of the DWT?

Not sure what you mean by the order of the DWT. Do you mean how deep you transform (how many levels of the transform you apply), or the number of taps on the filter?

It definitely depends on the number of taps on the filter.

IIRC, as for the depth DWT down to one scale coefficient is still O(N) (although there's another constant factor multiplied on beyond the number of filter coefficients). Even if you only do two levels, I believe you only cut the time in half, and you lose a lot of opportunity for compression if you do. I'm not sure what depth JPEG 2000 goes to, but it's probably more than three, so I think you can largely discount any perf gains there.

Some WAGs here.

They haven't gotten FDA clearance yet - and apparently infusion pumps require a 510k submission (heres the guidance document specifically for infusion pumps: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulation...).

I only gave it a quick skim, and it doesn't seem overly difficult to fulfill (I work at a company that makes an FDA cleared diagnostic device). I'm guessing that they received more funding than the article stated - the regulatory process + setting up all the quality systems required is an easy way to burn cash, even if you are a smart lean savvy startup. Trying to fulfill the 510k submission could easily burn ~1 million even if they were lucky and smart.

For another thing, marketing costs in medical devices tend to by high because you need a lot of face time and networking. You often have to work through a lot of little different fiefdoms at every hospital/hospital network you want to sell at. It's rare that you have a product whose technical advantages are so overwhelming that it 'just sells itself', as the majority of the medical field is in general pretty conservative. Incremental improvements to existing products are in many ways a much easier sell than any attempt to break a mold.

Since Shift does not have FDA clearance yet, then they are in fact legally not allowed to market in the US for human use. If that's the case, then their marketing costs will naturally be lower.

That said, I have no idea how their veterinary sales/marketing work out.
For emphasis there is italics, which you can make by adding asterisks around the word.
This is basically the difference between 'small business' and 'startup'. Startups are a subset of small businesses that take on external capital to grow quickly. HN feels like startups are the only thing around because... well... it is (or was) the marketing forum for a startup accelerator, and hence not really focused for the slow, measured small business ramp-up.

The sequence of topics in the table of contents freaked me out a little:

III.1 Benford’s Law 135
III.2 Bessel Functions 137
III.3 The Black–Scholes Equation 137
III.4 The Burgers Equation 138
III.5 The Cahn–Hilliard Equation 138
III.6 The Cauchy–Riemann Equations 139
III.7 The Delta Function and Generalized Functions 139
III.8 The Diffusion Equation 142
III.9 The Dirac Equation 142
III.10 Einstein’s Field Equations 144
III.11 The Euler Equations 146
III.12 The Euler–Lagrange Equations 147
III.13 The Gamma Function 148

Benford's law, and then Bessel functions, and then Black-Scholes? The reason is that some sections are in alphabetical order, encyclopedia-style.

But the pace is blistering. About a half page on the Diffusion Equation.

Yep, I've run into the problems with "expect fork"/"expect daemon" in Upstart first hand. Forking is a terrible readiness protocol, and Upstart is terrible at keeping track of a process that doesn't do exactly what it expects. In fact, if you choose the wrong one, you wind up with Upstart not even noticing the a process has gone away, and not being able to do anything to reset Upstart's knowledge of the world without spawning programs in a loop until the PID namespace wraps around and you get back to the original PID that it's expecting to track, so that Upstart can finally notice it die and properly clean up after it. This is seriously the only recommended workaround for a bug that went unfixed for years: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/406397

I'm glad that Debian and Ubuntu have finally decided to go with an actually maintained init system, that properly track processes even after arbitrarily many forks and support a reasonable readiness protocol.

If you're suggesting the OKR system of setting goals that align individual and company, that seems like a good idea, but not when tied financially.

If OP has a small, growing business, this seems impractical. I've worked at startups that tried this and even a quarterly bonus failed.

Why? Because things change too much. Despite their best efforts, what we thought was "The Most Important Thing" at the start of quarter ended up being slightly or sometimes completely different. This threw the whole bonus system off.

Now, since I was counting on those bonuses, I always immediately brought up any conflicts; I was happy to make the change that was best for the company, but didn't want to be financially penalized for it.

Also consider what an earlier comment brought up: Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (Dan Pink's Drive thesis). Financial incentives aren't the best options in creative roles.

Why do people flip out? Could it be that there are hard sub-problems to implementing it that might not be worth the cost or increased risk? A lot of connections are encrypted with https now, why is that not enough?

Well maybe not all ads, but it is clear that the carotid artery of Google is Ads (and web Ads to be specific) so carving off channels and feeding them into Apple at the source device is a way of "competing" without having to have better Ad reach.

I continue to think the end of this is going to be some sort of 'content tax' (everythings a paywall) and people will complain about how they don't get any free content any more but the rest of us will get a respite from the increasingly egregious ads that were trying to monetize content.

Like other web standards, these things tend to get implemented in a piecemeal fashion according to consensus and demand. By the time the standards are published, much of their content is already implemented in modern browsers.

For example, the ES6 spec was just published a few months ago, so it will still be a year before we see ES7. In spite of that, the async / await capabilities are sufficiently compelling and agreed upon that patches are already being reviewed for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185106

Kangax's tables, linked in another reply, are a great way to check what the support situation is like across browsers.

so unionize

Easier said than done. Most people don't realize they are getting screwed out of their wages. They just think they need to work harder/smarter to get ahead. They also think unions are socialist/communist etc.
