Ok, great, it's another cloud-based bookmark manager. So what?

I mean, what is the difference between this and umpteen other similar services? A better API, better browser integration, what?

I say this constructively, as a perennial mourner of the original del.icio.us, constantly hoping that one day we'll get a service that:

- integrates seamlessly with browsers (at least FF & Chrome)

- provides a solid API for other people to integrate with niche browsers and system

- provides solid syndication and social-sharing features, again integrated with browsers

- makes me actually get back and read a lot of stuff I casually bookmark and never actually get back to.

- makes it easy to prune old bookmarks, tag them, and manage them in flexible ways

- optionally, provides a "snapshot" feature to make sure I never actually get a broken link if I go back to a very old bookmark.

I don't know of any service that satisfies all these requirements yet (although I'm open to suggestions, of course), so I'd be interested in knowing what booky.io aims for.
Rant: On the C++ std::experimental::variant to come
If governments and FDAs of the developed world were more cooperative it wouldn't happen this way.
Startups don't have a billion dollars for FDA trials.
Helicobacter pylori was in many ways a well-understood entity just by virtue of being a bacterium, and was treatable with antibiotics.

Meddling with growth factors and chromosome structure systemically is hardly going to be reversible in anywhere near as controlled a way, and could well end up hurting her (and others who may decide to follow the example), potentially hurting her in a life threatening way by inducing cancer.

Then there's the abstract damage from reckless human experimentation on attitudes and community reactions. Early failures with gene therapy probably delayed the clinical use about a decade. We don't need more of that, and we don't need more excuses for people to dismiss life extension as a crackpot venture.

I hope she turns out at least unharmed. Got to admit the case study could prove to be interesting.
If you have the resources to do this then please do, and collect the data and write it up. I'll just note that you wouldn't be replicating this study, which was not randomised (they picked 13 people that the charity was already engaged with). This kind of larger scale randomised experiment is exactly what we need to prove the hypothesis.
Interesting article, but:

> Indian users have been called, among other things, “unbelievably pretentious” and “narcissistic.”

Indian users commenting on online forums -- regardless of their educational status or intelligence -- are no more "unbelievably pretentious" or "narcissistic" than your Average Joe from Random Culture. The key difference is where people lie on the overt-to-covert spectrum ... and Indian communities in general tend to be direct/overt.

I have noticed this attitude among Americans (and Asians, at times) to castigate people from the Indian subcontinent using the above qualifiers, and this to me indicates a general lack of cultural sensitivity and therefore utter absence of empathy than anything.

If I strip off the Victorian-moral-facade/ Dale-Carnegie-pretense/ cultural-maxistic-baloney ... it will never be long before I stumble upon a person of American (or whatever) origin worthy of being described as “unbelievably pretentious” and “narcissistic.”

That said, however, the kind of people (from the Indian subcontinent) anyone should be wary of associating with are the likes of Mr. Raghu Venkataraman (referred to in that article; a management consultant at Mu Sigma Inc. as of this writing) who [quote]feel an extra “ego boost” [when seeing] a “Japanese or American person” following him rather than just “another Indian student.”[endquote] ... as most intelligent self-aware meritocratic people would do well to avoid getting sucked into their vortex of racial inferiority complex.

Ultimately there are very simple explanations for most things. You'll have developer/mapper playgrounds where they model new stuff and try things out before cutting them or implementing them. Sometimes these things happen in production maps, and are simply overlooked when they are no longer interesting. It's cruft, but for explorers they are so much more.

Other times they are really nicely fleshed out, but locked away behind flimsy "gates", and really were intended to go into the full game, but had to be abandoned at the very last minute.

And then there's the cinematic areas that are made for show, implemented as they were intended, which never included being accessible to players.

What's really the most rewarding thing about this is that you, as a player, as an explorer, get to puzzle things out; you almost get to write the narrative yourself.
Started using it in two app exchange apps, actually is pretty good, easy to use.

Yes it's targeted at salesforce new re-design, but that's not a limitation. Actually I am using it both inside of Salesforce as well as an standalone app ( that happens to use Salesforce data )

It's on github, they are answering issues consistently and has a modern foundation.

I am impressed that they pulled this off.
I have my religious beliefs, but even if a VC/investor was harshly critical of them, I wouldn't refuse their money on that basis alone. Assuming they are professional and capable of keeping business and personal matters distinct, it should not matter even if they think my religious beliefs are totally crazy and say so publicly. The only things that should matter would be - how much money are they bringing to the table, and how much influence/control over the venture do they expect in exchange, and how will they exercise that influence/control in practice.
It is a different way of going about bootstrapping funding for a new venture in medicine.

The gene therapies used are well exercised in animal studies. At some point you have to move to humans, but that costs money. This is one approach to raising the funding to perform small trials, you get the first trial member done first since that's what you have the funds for, and move on from there.

Parrish has been a member of the community interested in aging and biotech for some years. Look at the the advisory board of BioViva. You don't magically get George Church on your board without having paid your dues.

Meanwhile if you happen to be someone who disagrees with the existence and current practice of the FDA - and this may be a minority position, but it isn't a small minority position - then linking this all with regulatory arbitrage makes perfect sense. There is an enormous gap between what can be done safely (large set) and what the FDA permits (small set), and with the cost of biotechnology and medicine falling rapidly, sooner or later something has to give.

The FDA is all about maintaining the position of FDA bureaucrats. That's the only real way to interpret the 2.5x cost increase in trials over the past decade. They are willing to suppress as much medical progress as it takes in order to look like people who are doing a non-phony-baloney job. But medicine is inherently risky. There will always be people who die as a result of new therapies: it should be up to the patients to make informed decisions, not a matter of bureaucrats pushing the cost of development upwards to a point at which only a trickle of new treatments emerges on the other side. The public doesn't react to the invisible death toll of people who would have been saved by the medicines that are no longer cost-effective to develop.

It's a sad situation.
Is Firefox a supported browser? I have some rendering issues in FF 41.0.2.
I had different issue with their 'secondary vault' feature. Adding additional vaults as your secondary vaults is not just UI thing.

ADDING A SECONDARY VAULT EFFECTIVELY MEANS STORING MASTER PASSWORD OF YOUR SECONDARY VAULT IN YOUR PRIMARY VAULT!

This was confirmed by their support as a reply to my email below. It is better for UX, but it is not explained properly IMO.

Theoretically you could get burnt in scenario when you use personal primary vault with some weak-ish password and add your super-important employer's vault as a secondary vault for convenience. You effectively make super-important vault as weak as your weak-ish master password of your primary vault (without knowing).

My email back in March 2014 (shortened):

I somehow ended up in situation where 1Password pretends to keep my
data safe but does not require password for unlocking secondary vault
as long as I have unlocked the primary vault. If I don't unlock
primary vault and switch to the secondary vault first, the correct
secondary master password is required. [Contrary switching to primary
vault while having unlocked secondary vault requires me to enter
primary master password to unlock it (expected behaviour)]. This
behaviour is exhibited in 1Password.app, 1Password mini and chrome
plugin.

I'm a developer. I have just read all the documentation available on
your site http://help.agilebits.com just to better understand the
system and reason about it.
And I cannot really explain this behaviour. 1Password should not know
how to unlock my secondary vault without my secondary master password
(unless it caches the master password somewhere behind my back) OR my
secondary agilekeychain file is not really encrypted, but UI pretends
it is, because it requires correct master password (when I go and want
to see the secondary vault without unlocking the primary vault first).
I noticed this behaviour only recently I think originally this worked
just fine. This hiccup could be caused by latest update or my upgrade
to 1Password4 a few months ago.
> The public is scared of genetic engineering.

And nuclear power, and geo-engineering. Public hysteria is placing us at great risk on numerous fronts. Ultimately, though, I'm optimistic. Not once in human history has anyone been able to suppress technology once it became both possible to make and profitable to produce. In this instance, the Chinese will probably beat us to gene therapy technology, and we'll desperately play catch-up once we see the difference it makes in life outcome.
Structor – User Interface Builder for React – Formerly Known as React UI Builder
Hmm, that sounds strange.

If you were only able to reproduce it on a Nexus 5, I don't think analysis with ScriptObservatory will be easy. I'd still suggest submitting the URLs to be scanned by the robo-browser and then looking to see if what gets reported looks similar to what you saw before.

Also, if you write a Yara rule that matches on some of the unique features in the JS/iframes you saw, you could run a search through what's been seen. You can use that to also be alerted when new matches are reported. If something similar has been seen elsewhere, you might be able to tie it to a specific ad network.

> Your cells dividing indefinitely is not the opposite of aging, it's cancer.

No. As long as they divide on schedule in the amount they're supposed to, they're not cancer.

Dividing indefinitely is the opposite of aging at the cell level; aging at the whole-organism level has some other stuff to it. I think there's so much emphasis on the cell division clock because we know what it is.
If the PR is good this could create a positive public attitude towards life extension. You'd get more funding in the end.

Insane. Amazon Fresh has good quality product but it's very expensive. This makes it not even close to worth it.

Hi there! This is my first attempt at Go, in porting a personal project I ran for a few years in python. This came out of the necessity to share files without having to register on some service, then have people have to login to download, and/or see ads, etc. It can be very useful for internal deployments as well, where teams can share files very easily between them.

Any comments are welcome!
In my "university of applied sciences" in Germany most of the formal classes are in semester 1-3. After that (and in Master) >70% of the classes are actually "projects" which you have to do with a group of your fellow students. E.g. search a real company and code a piece of useful software for them; consulting for a virtual company (try to convince the professor that your "solution" can save the company); doing "Data Science consulting" (bi weekly presentations) for a virtual NYC taxi cab company.
Mercury, Gemini and Apollo were standins for open war with the Soviet Union, so they got more war-like funding and focus. 'Terrorists' aren't going to be shown up by space travel and no one believes we're really at war with the Chinese so no one is willing to throw money at it.

The US has never really funded anything that isn't related directly or indirectly to war, that includes Space Exploration.
It was actually advertised as a trial program when you signed up. I started using them in NYC since February.Since then I've received two emails from them that my subscription has been extended. This email was received in June.

That being said, I don't plan on paying an extra $200 on top of my prime to renew this service. While the prices are comparable to Whole Foods / Fairway / Trade Joes the inventory isn't great. A lot of the items I use to purchase in February are no longer available. I can't ever seem to place an order for baby spinach.... I mean something as simple as that is always out of stock...

Can a 'living wage' ever be anything other than a misnomer?
The two words, glued together, seem incompatible to me.

Under capitalism you don't really get to 'live' unless you break free from wages to an extent. That doesn't necessarily mean retirement, but it's somewhere above living paycheck to paycheck. Basically, you need to be in a situation in which your wages are refilling a tank that slowly leaks, rather than drinking directly from the hose.

London has a "living wage". It's something like 9GBP.
40 hours a week with no holiday would get you 18700GBP.
How is that a living wage in any sense? What do we mean by living here? Literally existing as a human being, grasping at straws thrown down by the capitalists?

With that amount of income and no starting wealth it is totally impossible to buy a studio apartment anywhere within commuting distance of London. Not even 50sqft. (If you could find one cheap enough, the commuting costs would make it unviable).

Is constantly moving around from cheap shit apartment to cheap shit apartment, worrying about how to move your belongings, obsessing over the bills, worrying about taking the metro to see a friend, living?

Call it what it is. It's a 'starter wage'. It's existence level. 'Living' has connotations beyond simple existence.
You just slandered a security product based on nothing.

The key differences are the unattended delivery and the instacart (1 hr time slot delivery). The unattended is nice, they put it in a tote/cooler and it stays cool for 3 hours.
Is the assumption here that scheduling, drivers, resource management etc. will all be on par with or better than full-fledged operating systems? Seems like what you might gain in being closer to the metal could easily be lost by wheels that have already been invented.
Yea, the general public would not use it. But from the HN standpoint, I think it is a good open source alternative. They are working on version 2.0 and the git repo is reasonably active. (https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx/commits/master)

Loyalty shouldn't be thought of as synonymous with ongoing employment. Loyalty is staying true to the deal you made when you were hired. And for most people, that's at-will. Going above and beyond the call of duty as an employee is great, but that should be out of symbiosis, not sacrifice.

You can be loyal to a company and to your colleagues while moving on to a new job. If you're advancing on the world, you may well find ways to send opportunities to the people and businesses you've worked with in the past. Likewise, good employers (companies and bosses) are loyal by putting people first, even when the employment relationship is ending.

With the development of space travel / tourism technologies, and the holy grail of Sydney->London in 2 hours continuing to be sought (directly or indirectly) by Virgin Galactica, Space X etc, there's a good chance Boeing and Airbus will go the way of so many car manufacturers.

If they struggle this long to warrant the 787 investment, how hard will it be (and what impact will it have on share prices, noting they currently view most of the 787 investment as sunk cost) to make the next step-change in the industry? Especially if by then there may not be a 30 year window to pay for it.

They're not going anywhere soon, so maybe it won't happen until the back end of my life. But I imagine people thinking with nostalgia about companies like Boeing and watching movies on 12 hour flights that were only intermediate legs, in the same way we talk about car brands and childhood experiences - bucket seats, no air-conditioning, driving down the highway towards the beach for summer.

On the Aussie Microsoft site there's a phone number you can call to reserve your Surface Book for pickup at the new flagship store about to open in Sydney.

Called them today, got routed to an offshore call centre, which I have no problems with, the lady who spoke to me was VERY polite and all around great at her job, she tells me they don't yet have the number for the flagship store so can't do anything...

WTF?
I don't think that's the primary issue people have with high wage union labor, and your comment shows an unwillingness to engage constructively with political opponents.

Unions are a monopoly, and when prices (in this case, of labor) are high due to a monopoly, we must ask whether the government should allow, forbid, or encourage this monopoly. When wages are very low, I think most people are not opposed to unions forcing wages above market rates (I am, but that's another issue). But when wages are high, or driven far above what people think market wages would be, people question the moral basis for protecting workers from competition.

So the issue isn't that blue collar workers are "beneath" white collar workers, but that (at least to an industry outsider) it's not clear what special skills these workers have that would command high market wages.

Though Common Lisp 'packages' are not really 'modules', they are namespaces for symbols. Common Lisp does not really hide things. It also does not allow fine grained control of interfaces: the class FOO and the function FOO with be both exported, when exporting the symbol FOO. Packages are also no compilation/deployment targets - there is for example no mechanism to compile or load a package.
Hah, nice to see it here.

Seems the site is suffering from the load, so unless anything dramatically changed since last time I used it, it's a GTK+ app which uses gpsd and OpenStreetMap (with ability to configure other providers).

It started as a fork of TangoGPS, and they both were once very popular GPS apps for Openmoko devices. I think I've seen it running on Maemo as well. From the fact that it got posted here I presume that it must be still maintained (although probably not in Openmoko/Maemo versions anymore), which makes me pretty happy! :)
Yes those are all important parts in the development of cancer. But you have to take into account the tools that cancer has to take advantage of when it comes to invasiveness and proliferation. DNA instability is the root cause which results in incorrect signalling, cell cycle progression, cell morphology, and immune system evasion. But take angiogenesis, an extremely important tool for a developing embryo, and how ubiquitous it is for a growing tumor. But we can go farther and consider the factors that influence the guidance of a cell during development. Accutane or Isotretinoin is very similar in structure to retinoic acid, a guidance molecule in the posterior embryo. Consequently isotretinoin causes birth defects. Interestingly isoretinoin has also been implicated as an anti-cancer treatment. Thalidomide, which also interrupts proper development has also been used as an anti-cancer treatment. My point isn't to dispute the importance of DNA damage and gene expression profile changes, but rather to emphasize the importance of metastasis and its apparent parallels with embryonic development since metastasis is the main reason (sans leukemias) why cancer has such a high lethality.
