EDIT: I also doubt the markup is steep. Software people always underestimate the cost of making hardware in small quantities. These guys don't have economy of scale on their side.

Yeah, I've heard that before. It's crazy to me. The most basic insurance in EU is required to cover up to 5 million euro against damages to people and 3 million against damage to property. How US can only require $35k liability cover is beyond me. Does that not mean that in pretty much any accident you have to pay extra out of your own pocket?

(that "basic" insurance costs me $150 for the whole year and allows me to drive anywhere within EU for unlimited period of time. I also have full comprehensive cover for which I pay another $500 for a full year that insures me against damages to my own vehicle and provides EU-wide breakdown cover).
Perhaps it's fixed on the master branch but it's broken on the websites live transpile thing (which is where I tested it).
Completely agree, to be honest their current strategy is probably the right way to go but that's just because the alternative strategies are even worse. The problem with knocking out fracking is that the frackers can ramp production back up again fairly quickly. Also because the frackers aren't a state run operation and aren't a systemic risk to the Us economy, if the current fracking companies go bust the damage is contained to those companies shareholders. In fact that's largely already happened. Other companies and investors will just move in, take over their operations at a market adjusted discount, and be ready to start producing again when the conditions are right. This will likely put a much lower long term cap on the oil price than we've seen in the past.
No it is not. At the time there was no regulatory requirement to test in pregnancy. The only reason it never effected the USA is the FDA were (and are) so slow that the problem was found out before they got around to approving it. If the drug company had launched in the USA first the FDA would have allowed it to be sold.

Interestingly it was tested in pregnant mice, but in mice it doesn't have the same effect as in humans.

I'm amazed at the level of belief in Philips' honest motives after such a move. They just saw a large market of 3rd party bulbs emerging and saw potential profits for themselves, that's the most likely explanation with the available information. If anyone has financial details to back up claims of "need" for such a move by Philips, please provide them.

Philips has been investigated and fined for antitrust violations repeatedly. They don't really deserve benefits of doubt regarding predatory/unfair business practices without need at this point.

While not as common as nounset and errexit, pipefail is a useful option as well (set -o pipefail).

Using pipefail, if any program in a pipeline fails (i.e. exit code != 0), then the exit code for the pipeline will be != 0.

E.g. pipefail can be useful to ensure `curl does-not-exist-aaaaaaa.com | wc -c` doesn't exit with exit code 0..!

Of course, but from the time invested, it would seem the other way around. It's often painful to accept that you wasted a lot of time and that it's better to start over (which is of course the entire point of the article), and even more so if the new hire has already done that and thrown the CTO's code away.

Ultimately it's a question of ego. Does the CTO welcome the new hire who knows more about this than he does, or does he insist he knows better? Does he feel threatened or slighted?

Sounds like fracking companies are very agile. And assuming technology continue to improves fracking will continue to get cheaper. Which means we may never see oil in their 50 - 60s again.

Who are "these people"?

In what way are GCHQs coders and techies "evil"? Is it just because they have so widespread snooping powers? Is that still a problem if they have used those powers to prevent harm and injury from events that you won't have heard of? At what point does the latter outweigh the former?

I also suspect that if we follow the "GCHQ==Evil" logic, we would pretty quickly find that every coder working for a big enterprise is also "evil", and probably quite a few working for smaller ones too.

Given that it's OSS, it's not as if you're funding their vile actions by using it either.

The problem is, there is no research stating that lowering dietary cholesterol leads to lowered blood levels and the reversal of fatty liver disease.

There is research stating that fatty liver disease exists due to long term over-production of cholesterol in the liver, caused by low dietary cholesterol, and increasing dietary cholesterol can lead to the reversal of fatty liver disease; and such research isn't really cutting edge, much of it is around a decade old now.

The FDA has reversed course on this, and is no longer hammering its anti-cholesterol drum.

I think both "are all Muslims terrorists" and "I hate Muslims" are perfectly reasonable searches when hearing that someone has decided to exercise free speech, expressing a political viewpoint, simultaneously with deciding to commit heinous, psychopathic, immoral and of course illegal murder - when this person personally expresses that their religious views tie these unrelated things together.

In response to "are all Muslims terrorists" I would expect to get an informative page detailing that no, obviously they are not (I know muslims personally who are as western, educated, and civilized as any of my Christian friends) while also explaining why some muslims or muslim countries are uncivilized places that have not been exposed to basic things humanity figured out during the enlightenment. (In these places Apostasy is a crime punishable by death, for example.)

So it's a reasonable question with a reasonable answer.

The search "I hate muslims" is also quite reasonable, and I would expect a reasonable search result to be about how to deal with personal bigotry in the face of a mixed population. For example, if a shop owner has 17-30 cases of armed robbery occurring every year, and all of them are by African-Americans, I might expect this person to search for "I hate blacks" and get an informative page about why the fact that some African-Americans are thugs is no reason to generalize and be bigotted. At the end of the day, the shop owner's next hire might be an African-American, and one who wouldn't think of armed robbery any more than the HN readership does.

Here possibly I'm being hopelessly optimistic. I do think it's up to Google to return search results that are not hate-speech based. In the United STates with good reason, blind hatred advocating violence against a group is not protected political speech - you couldn't just publish a book advocating lynching every (minority group). But that doesn't extend to the whole of the Internet, and people can say whatever bigoted stuff they want.

That doesn't mean search engines need to return those pages. They can return reasonable pages instead.

The NICE guidance, which your NHS GP should be following, is here: http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg181

Your GP should have used more information than just your non-HDL results; they should have given you a standardised risk assessment call QRISK2.

http://www.nhs.uk/news/2014/02February/Pages/NICE-publishes-...

That risk assessment needs to know your age, sex, BMI, ethnicity, family history, your blood pressure, your blood cholesterol levels, and whether you have history of diabetes, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, or rheumatoid arthritis.

Your GP should have most of that, and if you think they don't it's probably a good idea to let them know.

You've said that you think the "eating saturated fat leads to high blood cholesterol" thing is wrong, and that the NHS seems to push this, but you also say that your GP didn't ask you what you eat, so it seems your GP isn't pushing that hypothesis. Your GP (from what you've said) didn't say "stop eating animal fat and take this medication", your GP said "take this medication".

The "genius" of Zuckerberg is simple.

Back in 2005, while the rest of us were building an idealistic Internet full of democratic freedoms and such, Zuckerberg's breakthrough was realising that when the unwashed masses finally quit TV and get online, you need to be ready to feed them a high frequency mix of narcism, LOLs, peer-pressure and distraction and you'd have them hooked.

Has your doctor done any research/training about cholesterol in the last 10 years?

I'm being snarky. But I think it's important to consider the lifecycle of doctor careers. If you go to a liver or cholesterol specialist, then I'm sure they will be up to date with even findings from the last year. But I wouldn't expect a GP to be up to date on what every field within medicine has decided in the last decade after years and years of back-and-forth.

It's almost like asking a computer scientist to know both the difference between Angular and React, and how to rewrite COBOL mainframe code into Lisp. The actual job of a computer scientist is writing proofs in Coq and understanding the difference between lexical and context-free grammars.

That sounds far too low. Since most people don't search like that, I'd imagine "hate boss" probably has a far higher amount, with the collective tally for queries that have near-identical semantics being astronomical.

Thank you for those links!

I should have been clearer: what bugged me about my interaction with the GP was that he didn't ask about anything to do with lifestyle/diet.

this is what the koran writes about homosexuals:

"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. "

pretty black and white. no real way to interpret it any differently. So obviously anyone who reads this will support the murder of any homosexual they encounter. it's quite impossible to read it any other way, just try. put on your best legal hat and try to read the above in any other way.

there's no room for believers not to follow 1400 year texts literally.

oh wait I was actually quoting Leviticus 20:13, not the koran. My bad!

my point is it doesn't matter what a religion says in purely literal terms, being civilized is everyone's responsibility, and it's wrong of you to generalize as you do.

> Because that's basic salafi doctrine, isn't it?

Yes, those who negate, let them try to promote atheism in Saudi Arabia, the country the US dearly supports:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-ar...

"Saudi Arabia declares all atheists are terrorists"

I, being an atheist, have a big problem with religious intolerance dominant in some countries which organize themselves according to the laws of their religion:

"Article one of the new provisions defines terrorism as "calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based"."

Try to claim in Saudi Arabia that Mohammad was just a normal human who invented the religion for his personal gain of being treated as "the messenger of god."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Saudi_Ar...

Saudi Arabia claims that their punishments are based on the Islamic law (Sharia). That's indisputable.

So for me it's enough to just be me and to be the prosecution target of those who "believe." Who doesn't agree can explain me why there are so many countries with Sharia law, and how it isn't based on the pure religious basis, when the said countries claim it to be.
