I remember reading in another HN thread about insulins (too lazy to search it right now) that plenty of prototype insulins have been developed, but most of them could cause nasty diseases, notably cancer. Hence only a low number of well-tested commercial insulins have been pushed to the market. Does someone knowledgeable have more info about those "good" vs. "bad" insulins?
Absolutely. I lived on Oahu for six years and blew through all kinds of hardware.
The problem with those "maths" is they are no longer in favor of not being "terrorized" in some places.
You can use and distribute GPL code in a commercial product too.

There's nothing in the GPL that says you can't sell/commercialise the software. The product just has to be GPL licenced too.

yes some people will argue, if you paid for it in a store it is "owned"

Just to add something else which may or may not be interesting - Bovril has a weirdly close association with British football and was traditionally pretty widely drank during the winter months - probably because alcohol is banned inside football stadia. To the extent that the main Scottish football forum is called "Pie & Bovril" (meat pies are commonplace too) whose tagline is "The Staple Diet of Scottish Football". Some might say that this diet is reflected in the sorry state of our national team, but those would be cruel people :)

edit: the "See Also" section of the page says that sewage transport boats in London were referred to as "Bovril boats". Yuck!

One thing that really helped me in the beginning was to pronounce K programs properly, i.e. know what the operators are called and read programs to myself. Incidentally that also was the way I approached math in the beginning.

For example, the column formatter from http://t3x.org/klong/klong-intro.txt.html:

(-|/{#$x}'x)$x

It is pronounced (Negate Max-Over (Size [of] Format [of] x)-Each x) Format2 x

Of course, doing this will not lead to instant enlightenment, but it really helped me understand K.

The example from Wikipedia is a bit more challenging. What also complicates things here is that K overloads operators, so it may not be obvious, for instance, that ! means Modulo and not Rotate in that program. That's why I started developing Klong in the first place.

Greater regulation, higher wages and higher occupational health and safety standards keep the price higher in the US.

Yes. I run several types of VPNs and shadowsocks on a VPS host. I mainly use it to bypass GFW though.

I found a study [0] from Q2 2015 -- before iOS 9 -- that reports ad blockers on 16% of devices in the US, and on 36.7% of devices, the highest value, in Greece.

I have Javascript turned off by default and sometimes enable it if pages don't work otherwise. Sometimes I just leave the page. I don't see it as ad blocking, but as a means of reducing attack surface, tracking, and improving page load times.

That is because there is no evidence. It can actually be worse than this as the increase can come from an increase in reproduction in newly susceptible cells.

Modeling a Database for Recording Sales
biologically produced insulin starts as a monomeric protein (meaning it only consists of one string of amino acids) called preproinsulin. this amino acid chain must interact with itself to form stabilizing interactions and disulfide bonds.

once these disulfide linkages are created, this insulin precursor undergoes a multi step enzymatic cleavage which cuts off some bits and makes biologically active insulin.

There are many ways to create insulin synthetically, and some of them lead to product contaminated with misfolded proteins. Misfolded proteins may have no effect, but sometimes they can activate the IGF-1 signal pathway which has been associated with cancer. There is also a chance of an autoimmmune reaction to the misfolded insulin, which would also be very bad.

We are exploring a few different methods for our insulin production specifically with this concern in mind.

You're talking about two different things. No one is disagreeing with the fact that gold is a fine hedge against local currency fluctuations. As you say that happens all the time.

Ask HN: How to get US H1B visa when located abroad?
I currently work in Software Industry in Product Management role. I completed my MBA from a Top 5 Bschool in US and was working in US for a few years on H1B. After my H1B visa expired, I returned back to my home country. I'm now thinking about returning back to US, possibly on H1B. How can I get a H1B sponsorship from a US company/startup when I'm currently located abroad? Should I work with some US consultancy which can apply for my H1B visa? Once I get my H1B visa I can have conversation with the US company/startup that I want to work with and transfer my H1B visa to them? I'm confused, please help!

I think its amazing Square could do an IPO at all - $2.7B is an insane valuation for a company that hasn't proven a scalable business model.

If your revenues are less than 38K Euro, no matter where in the world you are, you're not a start-up - you're a mom & pop shop that likely isn't going anywhere, in terms of growth.

Whoa, this guy managed to uncheck "enable javascript" somehow? Glad to read such a cutting edge article.

In seriousness, disabling javascript (and enabling it selectively when things inevitably break when I was using NoScript) grew too tedious for me after a while.

There are simply too many sites that require JS to function properly. Others may disagree and enjoy clicking constantly to enable select javascripts to get pages to work properly (or maybe don't visit JS intensive sites), but in my experience it isn't worth it.

The claims you make aren't based on even attempting to read Quran. So it's "no, you haven't read anything from the sources" you just try to make the case based on some bad articles, bad because they also haven't read from the sources or distort the facts enough to give a false impression. How do I know? I've read not only the line with the quote that is claimed to be peaceful but the whole chapter. You can do that too. Please read, then I'd like to see you writing with straight face what you wrote. Because it's not "some places." Just try reading that book, like, at least 20 percent. If you manage 20% then you'll be able to recognize the rest, as it's quite repetitive. I don't see why not reading? If it's really beautiful, peaceful and "nuanced" you'll feel good reading it, even the whole of it. It anyway inspires 1.5 billion people of the world. Find out how yourself.
Just turning off JS doesn't stop flash ads, static ads, video ads before videos play on youtube, etc. as well... so to say the least this author is deluded if he thinks he's getting anything close to an adblocker experience.

>So your opinion that Muslims are in the same position

I didn't say we were. I said wewere moving to that position.

> I think that implying that what Israel does today is similar to the barbaric acts of constant mass murdering, ethnic cleansing, torturing, raping and beheading that is done by Isis is absurd

It is absurd and again i didn't imply it.
Here is what you said :

>Except that the Jews of 1915 were not blowing up, mas-murdering nor terrorizing people, nor were they waging war on non-Jews.

and how i paraphrased it

>You are saying that if a small subset of Jews were blowing up, mass-murdering and terrorizing people

We can quibble over terminology, intentions, plausible deniability and collateral damage, but it is hard to deny that at a subset of Israeli actions can be reasonably construed as "blowing up, mass-murdering and terrorizing people".

Again my original point is :

ISIS isn't equal to all muslims
same way zionist insurgent isn't equate to all jews.

Biggest victims of ISIS are muslims. So when you say "Except that the Jews of 1915 were not blowing up, mas-murdering nor terrorizing people, nor were they waging war on non-Jews" you are lumping all muslims together with isis which is frankly dangerous and abhorrent.

Your comment illustrates my original point. The Jews of 1915 were blamed by mainstream for lot of things they didn't do or had little to do with. Muslims as a group are being increasingly blamed for actions of a few people over which they have little/no control.
I was in your position in the last dot com boom around 1999. I started working, mainly because I didn't like school/studying anyway. For me it was the right decision and I was lucky to be able to work on some really cool stuff right from the start. However, it is not something I often recommend doing.

Going to college will make your life easier in the sense that you have a socially accepted piece of paper that shows you have put in the time/effort. For most companies that are hiring, that is what they want to see.

If you go the DIY route, you will have to work harder and/or prove yourself more (or maybe I just had a bad case of impostor syndrome). The really cool projects on your CV will help people "forget" you don't have a college diploma.

If you have the character and tenacity to find your way regardless of the situation, you don't need to go to college. If you're not certain, or if you miss out on college for working on some quite straight-forward CRUD apps (instead of seriously cool CV building projects), then go to college.
