I find myself consistently in awe of the accomplishments that engineers working on implantable medical devices manage to yield. This is not only because of the remarkable impact that these devices often have on a patient's quality of life, but also because of the seemingly insurmountable number of hurdles that must be overcome to bring a functional product to market.

For moral and regulatory reasons, these engineers cannot depend on large trial groups, the ability to rapidly iterate designs, run A/B trials, or exact much control over the quality and consistency of their sample subjects. And to top it all off, the nuances of human body systems are still very much 'black boxes' (in spite of our considerable and rapid advances in the field). From a business perspective, many of these efforts are viewed as nearly untouchable due to the levels of risk involved.

Yet, things like the artificial hearts mentioned in this article still manage to get developed. They're not perfect, but they're damn impressive.
It is interesting that you request the /get_account link with a POST method.
Of course they do. The volume required to do Willy-style manipulation is far greater than what is occurring on Gemini.

I imagine it was upsetting because it showed the depth and breadth of the VP's ignorance. How many times have you wanted to leave a job because you just couldn't deal with the stupidity any longer? It's no fun to be a domain expert who's constantly surrounded by people who know nothing about your area of expertise.

For sure. I'd hope they'll be self-aware enough to realize that it would be crappy to yank the reviews or punish the reviewer for recommending another store where the products aren't broken when Amazon is full of broken products. But I wouldn't be very confident of that.

Slight nitpick: I wish they would use the term "other browser suppliers" instead of "other browser vendors", as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. are not sold for money, they are supplied for free.

But this is good news. Die SHA-1, die!
I'm not complaining at all. I just find it interesting that at one organisation this 'reporting-out' is accepted if not proactively encouraged. A more old school organisation might come down hard on an employee.

Depends on how busy the HR dept is I guess.
I assumed that they meant unique sequence. The oligo pools for microarrays really only need to be synthesized a single time and a single oligo can be present multiple times. Synthesizing 100M bp is really trivial if you amplify any bit of DNA :)

Nice way for Lyft to fire back after that iOS reverse-engineering video [1] revealed that they were showing off one of their keys in a production client. I don't know if this was intentional, and I believe whatever exploit they had was mild, but it restores (at first glance) my faith in them a bit :).

> Looking forward to laptops with USB C connectors.

Surprisingly it's been slow! I was very sad to see, for instance, that MS Surface Book does not have a USB C port. It is the single reason that I'm not going to buy the Surface Book.

At least Apple went all in with the Macbook air. Also, I think iPhone 7 will use the USB 3.1 type C port.
The article that the submitted interactive map is part of [1] explains some of the things that people are speculating about here.

An important note: they are using Census Bureau data and categories. The CB has two broad categories, "managers not elsewhere classified" and "salespersons not elsewhere classified". They map makers left those out because they consider them broad and vague to the point of meaninglessness.

• There are so many truck drivers for a few reasons. One is that it is much less affected by globalization and automation (so far) than most other jobs, and another is that the "Truck Driver" is a very broad category in the CB data. It includes delivery drivers, for instance. Some other large jobs are split across more than one category. Teacher, for example, has separate CB categories for primary school teacher and secondary school teacher.

• Secretary rose in the '80s as the economy shifted away from factory work and toward office work. Then the personal computer took away more and more of the work that secretaries did, so Secretary fell.

Voodoo? It's easy enough for automated toolkits to determine when Wordpress is running on a server by querying well known paths. Having client browsers perform the same trick when connecting to new domains isn't the black magic you're trying to make it out to be.

A Gateway 2000 desktop machine was one of the first servers on the first large Brazilian news portal. It ran Linux and its job was to sync the portal contents being served out of an NT machine to the Sun boxes that actually served the content. It was a crucial piece of hardware, improvised like almost everything else on those heroic days.

Many years later I spotted it quietly humming, doing something, on one of the shelves dedicated to odd-format machines.

It was named after one of the rivers that join to form the Amazon. Even though it was pale white, its hostname was "Negro".
Long story short, this quote:

> Lisp masters beware: Hoon [a b] is Lisp (a . b), Lisp (a b) is Hoon [a b ~]. ~ means nil, with value zero. Lisp and Hoon are both pair-oriented languages down below, but Lisp has a layer of sugar that makes it look list-oriented. Hoon loves its "improper lists," ie, tuples.

along with the knowledge that the people writing this like really strange names (tile, gate, vase, fish) and 2 part symbols (++ += =^) is all you need to know.
With the news of the EM drive today, probably he confused himself with unclear notation on line 57 of the proof. ( It would be cool if he pulled it off, but even highly respected scientists make mistakes, and a blog post based on the title of a seminar is nothing to get excited about.)

Unless, of course, the $2 cable over-charges your $600 phone and the battery explodes or it burns out the charging circuit, then it's a false economy.
I have one of these, and it happens to work fine (seemingly anyway). Unfortunately he hasn't reviewed anything similar that is actually in spec, so I don't really have a choice here. (other than buying new cables/charger/car chargers, which I deem wasteful)
Get an offer first. After that then say you'll only work remotely.
> I think its a mistake to view "rule of law" having a "won" state.

This seems reasonable, but I don't believe this to be correct. As I outlined in the other thread continuation, it's not just about political machinations. It's also about the rest of society and the economy and the judiciary.

If you analyze those in turn, you can see why England succeeded and Rome failed. You don't have to limit your analysis just to certain select states that we consider to have it, you can also look at countries where the rule of law is non-existent or weak and see how those get threatened as well. You can look at countries where it looked strong from the outside then crumbled, and find out where the weaknesses were.

The main Anglosphere nations, in my view, have broken through to a critical point and no tyranny is possible according to current understandings. People can complain about how Obama or Bush or whoever is a fascist, but analyzed, the events complained about will bear no real semblance to the historical events they're trying to draw similarities with.

We could drill down, look at the fundamentals, connect all the dots to each other, I do this all the time in my spare time, but if you're holding on to an existing ideological viewpoint, it won't matter whether we do or don't.

It's weird because there is no good reason to force you to use a different routing system in order to use REST routing. It's especially surprising considering how Rails-inspired it is otherwise.
Yeah, I'd agree with the OP's reasoning about why the idea wasn't very good, but if that mistaken attempt to help is grounds for quitting, they're going to really struggle at a corporation that's less interested in identity politics.
As systems grow you always end up wanting to parameterize GET apis with things that you can't reasonably continue to stuff into headers, matrix params, and a wonky URL (in my experience).
I'm surprised Ruby wasn't more polarizing. On the Erlang forums all we do is make fun of Ruby people.

You're sealioning a bit with your first request, but off the top of my head, Python and Pycon are two examples.

Also, codifying "be nice" isn't so impossible. It's the basis of all laws. And laws are not programming languages. They are all subjective and open to interpretation. This doesn't make them useless.
As someone who does database driven web apps (the opposite end of the spectrum from Linus), there is so much truth in this statment.

Ask HN: Sold my Apple Watch: Quadcopter or 3D printer?
I just sold my Apple Watch for $250. I was now going to by a new tech toy. I was thinking of either a Quadcopter or a 3D printer. I have a GoPro that I could mount to the Quadcopter.
Coloring books for adults isn't so niche anymore. I'm seeing them everywhere lately.
"Dynamic" and "dynamically typed" are not exactly the same things. As Wikipedia puts it:

> Most dynamic languages are also dynamically typed, but not all are.

The concepts (both "dynamic language" and "dynamic typing") are not very precise, but, in general, a language may be called dynamic if it has eval, dynamic dispatch with something like "method_missing" or reflection (and this is what Java has).

Show HN: MeMoMag |with NO budget, we are finalists at the DigitalMagazineAwards
Hi everybody!
We are Libre, a small digital company based in Turin (libreidee.com). Togheter with a group of great (very great!) photojournalists we spent a lot of nights trying to create a unique and innovative product:

http://memo-mag.com/

We want to use the strength of digital technology and a sensitive eye to produce an App which combines photography, video, text, 3D animation and info-graphics in order to develop and consolidate new ways of storytelling.
After hard months of work, next week we’ll be in London at the Digital Magazine Awards against Wired, The Economist and so on!

Evey issue costs 10$ but for Hacker News we have free coupons! Just send me an email to couponhn@memo-mag.com

We wait for your feedback. Thank you!
As long as everything is well documented, I don't see the problem. With most languages, you'll probably want to use an SDK anyway.

Need Advice on Landing Site – Can someone help me figure out why no signups
As docker still doesn't really provide security (by design) - the main thing that docker brings with it is an awareness of dependencies. Now anyone can whip up a microservice that's ready to run in chroot, with minimal access to the rest of the system. Looks like Snappy packages does much the same thing.

Try to hand-craft a chroot for Firefox, and see how far you get (at least without cheating and doing something like xhost+).

Even some daemons can be a bit of work do chroot - eg: a working webserver/webapp-server with php that needs to resize images (pictures).

If we can get more people to target docker/snappy (and we do) we get more applications and daemons that are easy(ish) to run in a chroot (or jail).
> While true, that does not offer the same protection as an FDIC-style insurance program

Sure, but whether that difference from "the same protection" is more or less protection depends on the number of people that $100 million is held on behalf of.
Fun fact: standard cheapo tea lights make great fire lighters, because they burn reliably and provide a static heat source for a long period of time. Put one under a piece of wood and it'll most likely catch fire eventually.

A short time later the wax in the tea light melts. Than it boils. Then you get (briefly) a pillar of flame...
Extreme Go-Horse Process
Huge fan of Anker products. Really solid design + aesthetic (just wish their Micro-USB cables were a bit thinner at the plug). Monoprice is also very good when it comes to bang for your buck.
If its claiming USB-C spec, which these are, then there should be no risk.

This isn't just a few bad cables or a bad batch that somehow got loose. This is purposely producing things that don't meet spec.
Microlise Security
Hello everyone,

Just wondering has anyone ever tinkered with microlise boxes in trucks?
You only need to die instantly in that timeline.

1. Write yourself a note to keep a jerry can in the Delorean, put it on your person.

2. Set destination time back by a week.

3. Marty gets in Delorean and Doc pushes it off of cliff.

4. Next of kin and Marty read note given to them at the morgue.

5. Plot of BttF 3 evaporates.

Edit: This is too complicated. Just visit Western Union again and send a second letter about the jerry can.

Edit 2: Wait, there should be a 2nd Delorean in 1885 after Marty arrives. So Doc's Delorean should have some fuel unless Doc was joy-riding. I'm really not thinking 4th dimensionally.
Why would they choose RPC style endpoints over REST?
As ksenzee alludes to in a parallel reply, it could be (to use an American cliche) the straw that broke the camel's back, coming on the heels of a whole host of stupid decisions. I've been there, where no single decision or behavior is enough to quit over, but enough of those add up and one starts looking for the door.
Very fair point, and a little hard to tackle. I have no solid answer either as to how to get fully correct statistics that actually help in evaluating just how bad the situation is, and where to start working on it. But, as you point out: One must take into account many factors in detail in order to get anything related to reality.
I'm guessing the military isn't affected because they shield their equipment properly? Seems odd that this wouldn't be a standard (even for commercial) in this day and age.
Is Open Source Overtaking Splunk?
The bottom of this blog post, Brain Krebs mentioned the name a company who specialized in fraud prevent. That sounds like a product placement advertising to me (he does do CPM based ad placement on his blog[0], so I am more suspicious about product placement).

Additionally, I lost the respect for him when he questioned the validity of Ashley Madison site data breach, disregarding confirmation of many other sources but solely based on the interview he had with Raja Bhatia, ex-CTO of ‎Avid Life Media, who was proven to be clueless about security in retrospect. Brian Krebs later did retract his original reporting with an update shortly after overwhelming evidences proved he was wrong.[1]

Basically, he's neither a security research nor a good investigative journalist IMMO.

Reading the reviews, it looks like there's basically one complaint.

Ports/devices with older connectors (USBA, mini-B, micro-B, B) aren't necessarily going to be able to (or supposed to be able to) handle a 3A current draw.

A device that supports USBC should handle current draws this high. But to do so, it must be able to determine if it is safe to draw this much current. That's only doable with a USBC->USBC connection as per spec. So a USBC-USBA cable (or any other USBC->something cable) should use a resistor identifying that the USB3 current draw spec should not be exceeded.

The cables he's reviewing misidentify as being capable of the full current load. This could cause damage to the device your USBC phone or laptop is being plugged into.
Cool but I don't think he understands how off-brand (meaning not big name brand) products like this change specs and quality on Amazon like Seattle changes weather.

For cases where there is a big brand, and they have a reputation to defend, these reviews seem very valuable. For other cases, buyer beware.

Twitter definitely has a relocation program. And in general, engineers move to the Bay Area in order to work at companies like Twitter.
You should be able to build that topic on idina. If you start with a search for "clinton sanders economy," then communicate the "clinton good, sanders bad" by rating examples of that high, and everything else low.

It is hard for algorithms to understand words like "data-driven political journalism that is slightly left leaning," and, but easier to understand "stuff like this couple of Nate Silver article." So for the short term, I think we'll continue to need positive and negative examples to really get topics good for people, but someday I'd love to figure it all out from NLP parsing a general description.

Did you get that $4 billion number from that quarterly results? Does that include things like their payments to Opera and Apple? Does it include search rev share deals with entities like AOL and Ask (& soon to be Yahoo)? Does it include paying from Chrome distribution bundled with Flash security updates & such? I have never seen the overall numbers broken down in terms of what percent goes where on the different sorts of syndication deals.

Three things which would be a major issue for Yahoo! on that sort of search would perhaps be first that they themselves rely so heavily on content syndication to power their various verticals, second they keep losing search market share (especially as more search happens on mobile devices and Google has mobile locked down with their Android contracts), and they also screwed up their old directory before they moved it to Yahoo! small business as part of the Alibaba share spinco.

I also don't see how Yahoo would effectively differentiate their search engine enough to be able to (profitably) buy share at prices set by Google, particularly if they over-promote their internal results & rely on a smaller search index.
So uh, maybe they can explain why the DisplayPort USB-C adapter for the Chromebook Pixel only works in one orientation? Yes, that's right. You heard me. You have to flip it over 50% of the time to get the screen to come on. (This might be Linux specific, I don't have ChromeOS to check)

One of the problems with having a non-IDE try to parse your code is it doesn't know how its supposed to be built. I put a lot of effort to "guess" your include directories so that libclang could do a half decent job at figuring out the code.

When that fails it tries to make as much sense as possible with an incomplete syntax tree - this part is still very much a work in progress.
Reminds me of a favorite Steve Jobs quote:

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a
conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But
when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks
are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far
more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot
the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really
in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.”

They are different compounds. Mix up a blend of 25% cayenne to 75% cinnamon, then 75% cayenne to 25% cinnamon. Do you think that conscious experiences that results from these blends interacting with your tongue are going to be qualitatively different?

Do you want somebody to demonstrate from neural imaging or something, that users of different strains are in fact experiencing different effects on their conscious perception? For that you're probably going to need to make some significant progress in solving the hard problem of consciousness.
