>Perhaps more research could apprehend what actually works

No, not really. Since the obvious solution (i.e. the one that has worked everywhere in the world it's been tried) is affordable grid scale electricity - which at this point means fossil or nuclear - and the west is apparently hellbent on preventing the devolping world from having this, it's unlikely any future research will come up with anything of any actual utility.
Huh? Is it? Every time I tried Plex is was more limited and clunky when it came to media library organization. And it required me to install software on my NAS.

WOW. It's like $10-$20 in private clinic here. Or free if you want to wait for a few hours.

A one to one relationship doesn't seem like it would scale. They could make their operation centers mobile by outfitting vans or buses. That would allow for visual monitoring as needed, and quick responses to breakdowns/thefts/vandalism. As an added bonus, they could see a net savings on downtown office space as well!

I thought support was sorta so-so, requiring special apps + driver support. Plus I've not seen any popular PC products shipping with it. If Apple makes this part of their flagship, it might help. Or maybe PC vendors will keep shipping low-res, ugly ass displays.

There's a role for government to play in ensuring public safety and transparency, in addition to providing national defense and perhaps a few fundamental infrastructure services. To function effectively in those areas, we don't need them trying to manage the finances of everyone, nor picking and choosing who should or shouldn't be deserving of tax breaks, subsidies, or any of the other countless benefit programs.

When people are out of work or large classes of people are struggling to get by, it's because we haven't provided a suitable environment in which people can thrive (and yes, most people can and will thrive through their own action in a healthy environment), not because the government has somehow failed to give people enough prosperity.

If it were a traditional business (without the ability to print money or use military force), the U.S. government would frankly be one of the most disastrous companies ever imagined - not just bankrupt (many times over), but mismanaged, fraudulent, and corrupt. A huge portion of our paychecks go to support this company today. And we want more of it?
When companies do "contribute", it's often not in the
best interest of the community, it isn't enough, or
it's thoroughly misguided.

Too many companies still see free software as free lunch and nothing more. The companies who do not see it that way think of it as a means to an end and nothing more.

And that's normal and pretty much obvious, unfortunately.
Hack the Galaxy: Hunting Bugs in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
This is funny.

Also funny -- I worked in Austin in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Looked the same then. When I was stressed out one evening, I joked with my wife that I was tempted to run over a few of the yuppies. With so many, who would miss a few?

So wonder where all those guys went?

On a related note, this weekend might be a good time to re-watch Logan's Run.

The Starship Robots are really cool. The sort of stuff I dreamt of as a child after staying up too late reading Asimov by flashlight. If I found myself working on a project like that, I would be more than thrilled. I probably came off too negative in my first post. When presented with a machine out of a childhood dream, I was suddenly laden with the fear of reality.

It is a great idea, and I hope they execute it perfectly. The path they choose around the roadblocks will be the real magic.

I never said that hard work alone is sufficient to shape one's own life meaningfully, but it is necessary. The other ingredient is an environment where hard work can be rewarded.

One interesting thing about this is that it represents a race, between the concentration of Uranium in high-grade ores through geological processes (which requires the Earth to have formed, and so on and so on) on the one hand and the reduction in abundance of U-235 in natural Uranium over time due to radioactive decay.

Where I live (coastal UK) the answer is quite simply that people throw them in. Yes really. More discard them in the street, where the wind does the rest. No evidence so far that the 5p mandatory charge is changing this behaviour. So yeah, I can believe that some large portion comes from coastal litter.

Someone's sure to pop along and mention commons, but a large proportion of people who my partner or I have questioned or upbraided about their litter habits seem to genuinely believe they're keeping someone in a job, which makes it more of a broken window fallacy.

In Israel, Rabin was actually Prime Minister twice; the first time was in the 1970s, when similar currency controls were in effect, including a ban on Israelis holding foreign bank accounts. He resigned after a journalist caught his wife withdrawing from an (illegal) US dollar account in Washington, DC.
Something like this would work very well in places like hotels, Centre Parcs[1] or theme parks. However, I think that is a bit niche for what it's aimed at.

First they offer 15GB free space, then they limit it to 5GB.

Actually 30GB if you automatically upload your pictures taken on a Lumia.

While I can appreciate that the unlimited service is not provided so that users can store dozens of TB (which may be within the terms and conditions, but is certainly not reasonable) I wonder why it should be users like me, using the service in a responsible manner, that are punished. Reducing the space to 1/6th is certainly not reasonable.

It isn't a coincidence. Post-1991 Russia and the US have shared some economic advisors (e.g. Larry Summers).

Hypit app – Hype the things you love
You have a nicely sized full-height video on the page and cover the top of it with that dumb sticky header. There's only 1080px of content I can fit on my screen why steal that with a useless thick color bar. More fool me I suppose for still browsing the web fullscreen.
Will there be a sync of the read status of all messages? That is the feature that I need, the backlog is next to useless without me knowing where I stopped last time.
Yes, despite a lot of complaints about this behaviour, they seem unwilling to go back to revert back to the days where it simply started playing from whatever episode you had not seen.

I can relate to what is described in the article : there's always something new that you have to understand, learn and integrate in your daily life.

It require a lot of brainpower for things that are probably not much better than the old ones, and might not be available in 5 years from now.

The more you add complexity to your life the more fragile your 'system' becomes and the more you use tech the more you are dependent on it.

Sometimes people just want to get things done in a simple way, where there's 0 thinking to be done : I need to send you some data, should I use FTP, Dropbox, email, GDrive, etc ? Do you and I have enough bandwidth, do you even have an FTP (Dropbox account whatever) client on your system ? Fuck it, I'll send a DVD and be done with it.
The death rate "increased by 134 deaths per 100,000 people from 1999 to 2014". Without the starting point (the death rate in 1999) we can't know the raising rate. If there were 268 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 that would be a 50% increase for example.

Well actually it's more that they fail to take account of a missing parameter. And there is quite a lot of missing parameters in actual climatology. It's not like we are in Back to the Future's 2015 where they can accurately forecast weather.
I really wish there was a reasonable answer to this question. I lived in Singapore for many years, and its proximity to Sumatra, where most of the burning is happening, is a huge burden on everyone in Singapore for most times of the year, and it is getting worse. I was there during the 2013 haze crisis and had to leave Singapore for several days just to get a breath of healthy air. Birds were dying in-flight and roads had flocks of them dead all over the pavement, and on park grounds. Yet nothing changes. This year, the haze crisis has been its worst in 20 years, and Indonesia fails to address it. It is illegal to start these fires, but the law is not enforced. If this happened in proximity to a nation like the U.S., after numerous warnings, the country would just cross borders without permission and put out the fires. But no one will do that in SE Asia. Singapore and Malaysia have every right to protect their citizens, but they also respect the sovereignty of Indonesia, so aside from public comments by leaders, they do nothing, and nothing changes. Even if you don't live in SE Asia, it is a devastating reality for the whole planet. Massive rainforest are getting destroyed.

After decades of no action by Indonesia, it is clear the only way to fix this is for neighboring nations to be more forceful and go in there and do something about it. But fear of conflict in SE Asia is high, so I'm worried that this problem is only going to get worse without worldwide pressure by major nations.
Gmail: Service issues
The UK had capital controls until the 1970s. I see the GBP far up there on the opposite side of the chart; presumably that represents all the money rushing into the property bubble.

I'm coming round to the belief that the big downside of free movement of goods/people/capital is the possibility of "sloshing": rapid change that capsizes the economy. Entire areas can dry up or become booms overnight. And because there isn't and can't be free movement of real estate to compensate, we get craziness in the property market.
Ask HN: Efficient and Effective Ways to Corporate Learning?
I'm a fan of books and like the deep understanding one can achieve with them. But in a corporate world the is seldom the time to read a heavy tome. Some managers think that focused trainings with a maximum of a few days would be better. I doubt that theses trainings are a silver bullet. The knowledge you gain remains often on the surface.

What do you think is the most efficient and effective way to learn new (software development) skills?
