It is complete fantasy to say that the cartels are just businessmen, they would rather murder someone than pay them.
Anytime a government exists, you can find a way to blame anything that happens on the government rather than the deer market, since the government certainly intervened in there market in some way, and that always influences market conditions and decisions. Free market fundamentalism isn't falsifiable, it's an axiomatic quasi-religious article if faith.

I think I saw the same documentary. They are only ghost cities for so long. Then the government "seeds" the city by moving some public sector offices there (which in China could mean 100,000+ workers). That alone is enough to kick start the city into life.
Ask HN: What non-agile process (or variant of it) are you using at your work?
So we're doing Agile at work - Scrums, Sprints, stand-ups, - the whole lot.

I'm not here to rant, since rant has already been done before. The best example of the rant was this one

With which I can't help agreeing.

Apart from strictly following the agile process, I'd like to know what different types of "processes" you guys are using. Do you like it as a developer? If yes, care to share? Why is it working? (or not)?
Which works AWESOME, as long as you either:
1. Have new jobs to shift the people who were previously doing those other jobs to.

2. You have a basic living wage that isn't treated like a handout to people who can't find work.

At this point those mega-businesses are creating a lot of unemployment and that's about it.

I can't comment except for my own experience. We visit relatives in Cuba occasionally. When we go, we always had to come up with some excuse to bring medical supplies and leave them there. On one occasion, my mom pretended to be crippled for the trip down so that we could justify bringing a wheelchair. Then she just left it. Same thing would apply across the board for anything you could think of. We'd get a doctor's note, bring along medicines 'for ourselves' then leave them with family there.

The situation is pretty bad there. It's almost like the economy doesn't exist. You can be an architect, for example, but there's really no new buildings going up. You get a coupon book every year good for things like a pair of shoes, but no shoes are being made. People rely heavily on goods and money from Miami. Money can at least buy them non-American imported goods. A friend's family even brought a window down with them once somehow.

Anyway, I don't know everything about it, just anecdotally what we've seen when we made our trips down, plus the stories from cousins who have made it over recently.
Google promotes Android by selling the device near cost. Even if they're not making money, they aren't going to sell devices at a loss (-$5 times a hundred million devices is real money), which means the only way to increase the manufacturing cost is to increase the sale price.

When it's only a dollar or so you might expect the customer to want to pay the extra dollar in exchange for the benefit, but in practice the device is going to be priced at a threshold like $499 and the psychological difference between $499 and $500 would measurably drive down sales.

But the bigger problem is that this is hardly the only facet of a device you could improve by making it cost a tiny bit more. Add them up and it would add $100 or more to the price of the device. So you can't have them all, but decide against any one in particular and everyone wants to know why you're cheaping out over a buck.
> elderly subset of 5% of the population

He's writing a book for a US audience. The US audience uses US customary units for measurement and has done so since 'forever' basically. The subset of US citizens that knows metric well enough to be comfortable using it for things like cooking is small enough to be irrelevant for his book.

Would it be better to use the metric system for everything in the US? Of course. Will it happen in the next 100 years? Nope.

And I'm really confused about the elderly part of your statement. Do you correlate being young in the US with knowing the metric system? If so you are unfortunately wrong. Actually you are more likely to find metric knowledge in the general populous in the older crowed due to an attempt in the 70's to convert to the metric system. So, outside of areas that use metric internally, the older population is more likely to know metric than the younger ones.

But it's wrong to build an giant automated system. Had we completely forgotten the UNIX way?

Build a (letsencrypt-nosudo) first. Let it do one task and do it well - obtain a signed certificate. Let it have the simplest interface possible - command-line options and exit status with stderr output for details. Make it fast, small and robust and that'll be pinnacle of usability for those gray-bearded old-fashioned sysadmins.

Then build letsencrypt-magic-pixie-dust that'd use the said script to obtain a certificate and then bake cookies, feed the pigeons and wreck your webserver configuration as it seems fit. Let it still have command-line options as the only UI.

Then build letsencrypt-ui-{cli,gtk,ncurses,qt,android,wpf,whatever} to control that beast, so even a non-techie grandma could be able to get everything for her blog in a single tap.

Why bundle all this in a single giant monolithic[1] project is beyond me.

I've never understood why people patent organisms. That's not an ethical thing --- I understand why people want IP protection.

It just seems like the wrong mechanism. Isn't the goal of restricting copying of your engineered organism better suited to the copyright system, rather than the patent system? Patents are for processes, right? But an organism is a thing, not a process. Isn't making an illegal copy of that thing a copyright violation?

A lot of apps have trial versions. Either publisher publishes 2 versions of the same app: free trial version and paid full veersion or free version starts in trial version and switches to full mode with in-app purchase.

Sure, it would be better for app stores to support dedicated "Trial" mode. I don't really know, why they don't do that. But it's not that bad. Though I might be the only chosen one, who can find "App from this developer" or does read description from start to end :)

Apple wages battle to keep App Store malware-free
Many other good answers, but here's an anecdote:

In Oslo, near the university, there used by a "cave dweller". A by all accounts bright student who at 25 decided to stop washing himself. He was soon thrown out of his student accommodation because of the smell. He then decided to take up residence under a tarp in a makeshift "cave" in a hillside next to the university where he stayed for the following two and half decades. In 1987, he was refused the opportunity to take his astrophysics exam because of the smell, and later given a blanket restriction on participating in any exams unless he washed first.

He was repeatedly institutionalised against his will, but in 1988 he won a supreme court decision that made it clear that his unorthodox lifestyle was insufficient grounds for forcing him into mental health institutions. He later sued the University of Oslo over lost income due to the exam ban, but lost.

It may seem obvious that this guy had mental problems. The problem is that in court and during psychological examinations he was fully coherent and defended his choices with references to traditions of asceticism and spiritual beliefs. He understood what he was doing. (EDIT: This does not mean that he necessarily didn't have mental problems, but that he was coherent enough to be able to justify his decisions sufficiently that the court found he was competent to make his own decisions about whether or not he needed treatment)

This poses a challenge, because it can be superficially extremely hard to distinguish actual mental illness from "crazy" lifestyle choices that the person making them are perfectly happy with.

The guy mentioned above was very bright and able to get the resources he needed to protect what he saw as his own best interests in court (all the way to the supreme court 3 times, with one win), but most don't.

Many of these people are mentally ill and need treatment, but we also need to protect those who aren't, and especially those who aren't yet are not resourceful enough to mount vigorous legal campaigns to protect their choices.

At the same time setting the bar high means there are potential high costs and lots of resources involved in helping people that makes it harder to help those who need it out of a concern for e.g. distinguishing resistance and refusals grounded in mental illness from resistance and refusals from people who are mentally competent.

Getting the balance right is hard.
I am originally from the U.S. and when I came to Thailand I was initially taken aback by the sight of eggs being left out for days or weeks at a time. But they don't spoil. I later learned about the washing affect. Also, it's predominately brown eggs over here. Not sure if that makes a difference. At least as far as appearances go, unwashed brown eggs don't look as dirty as unwashed white eggs.

TPP is an agreement between governments and corporations. Corporations could make individual agreements with their supplier corporations, where they could impose privacy conditions for data storage and jurisdiction. But this would be difficult for small businesses to negotiate. In Europe, the proposed TISA trade treaty text on data sovereignty is in conflict with EU law, https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20141217/09013129465/new-t...

"For the European Union, that's a hugely sensitive issue. Under data protection laws there, personal data cannot be sent outside the EU unless companies sign up to the self-certification scheme known as the Safe Harbor framework.

TISA Article X.4: Movement of Information

No Party may prevent a service supplier of another Party
from transferring, accessing, processing or storing
information, including personal information, within or
outside the Party's territory, where such activity is
carried out in connection with the conduct of the service
supplier's business."

http://www.euractiv.com/sections/infosociety/dont-forget-big..., "It is one thing to have free data flows in the EU, where our own institutions make the rules for data protection and we can develop our technological sovereignty, but quite another to have free data flows across the Atlantic without adequate US rules for the treatment of European data ... Data about our condition and behaviour are assets ... they constitute a new asset class, which Harvard professor Shoshana Zuboff calls “surveillance assets.”
What you're asking for is that people who have the ability to chose (where to live; what medical treatment to have) are denied that choice.

Schizophrenia is a lifelong illness. Do you keep someone imprisoned for the rest of their life so that you can forcibly medicate them against their will?
I can see a lot of reasons for the US to negotiate a trade treaty specifically with the EU, but both treaties seem to cover a lot of the same ground. And the US has to comply with both, which presumably means that they have to be mostly identical where they do overlap.

The whole thing is a bit strange.

Ask HN: A fitness or health wearable for which I own the data?
I'm interested in purchasing a fitness or health tracking wearable. Some nice to have features include:

- Step tracking

- Distance tracking

- Sleep tracking

- Heart rate monitoring

- Different modes - walk/run/cycle

- Other smartphone linked alerts

While there are plenty of devices available which do some or all of the above, I have two further requirements:

1. If a linked smartphone app is required, it needs to be Android and I want to download the app directly from the manufacturer's website, not via Google's App Store. I'm running a Cyanogenmod ROM without any Google Play services, with no intention of installing any.

2. Data is not automatically sent to the manufacturer and is exportable from the device directly to my home, Linux, computer. Exporting a GPX file, for example, is fine. Basically, I want my own data, under my control, to analyse as I see fit, and not stored with a third party I have no control over.

Some issues in science are already very politicized, with the left and the right being on different sides of an argument, often with religious fervor.

A separate portfolio and government bureaucracy means more money and power to the party in charge in terms of influencing science, which could easily be misused for harrassing scientists and institutions. There is also the implicit threat of cutting off funding for research, effectively silencing any viewpoints that may be against the agenda of the party in charge.

Just to illustrate, if in your opinion the "previous guy" was bad for science, imagine him in charge of this bureaucracy, with Lois Lerner-type harrassment and promotion of research that would be offensive to other political parties.
It's hard enough to get the number of parties in each of two agreements to agree on anything. Wrangling what would be the majority of the developed world into a single agreement is not feasible at this time.

How would you feel about imprisoning them in a psychiatric ward and injecting some "medicine" against their will to "treat" them.

You may find this example not applicable because it is obviously wrong to do that but I can tell you this much:

No matter how much you feel that you are sitting on the moral high horse and know it all, in a hundred years people will analyze how we acted this very moment and conclude we were a bunch of backward barbarians.

Let's not revert back to the backwards behavior our precursors deemed morally right a hundred years ago.

> If a person's mind is gone so haywire that they're destroying their own body, that they don't have adequate control of their mind (as is the case with schizophrenics), that they don't eat or even respond to human communication, and they have been diagnosed with a mental disorder then you should institutionalize them until their mind regains control.

Which could be translated for many into: Imprisonment for life.

This is a very fine line. What if someone refuses to eat food, or communicate, as part of a protest or a religious fast or any other personal reason? Who are you do to decide what they're doing is wrong?
