There's a lot that's slightly off about this (though there is also some good material in here too, and clearly it's coming from a place of frustration based on real projects - perhaps, I suspect, without a huge amount of experience of the grass on the other side...), but one bit that particularly struck me was:

When a client wants to build a web app, they understand they need to have a good design, build the pretty HTML and CSS, with a server in the backend, and some dev-op to keep the app running.

Really? Because I'd be glad to introduce you to many of my clients who absolutely do not understand any of that; in fact I had a conversation with a client just two days ago where I explained, patiently and not for the first time, what it was one of my backend developers actually did on a day-to-day basis, and why that sometimes didn't translate into something visible he could actually click on in his browser.

Most of my clients really just want a complete solution (often involving design) and they don't know or care at all about HTML, CSS, AWS, or Postgres.
This is not a perfect study by any means but this was just done, it's known as the FIRST trial[1] and it looked at flexible vs standard surgical residency work hour restrictions. The conclusions were that work hour restrictions did not improve mortality or patient outcomes. There is a related study that is currently ongoing that looks at the same thing but in medical specialties.

Giving incorrect medicine is borderline to criminal negligence. If this had happened in India, the said doctor's license to practice would have been revoked. I'm astounded how come a developed country like USA can tolerate this!

Welcome to the last few years. I thought, when i bought a 24 inch monitor, I'd be using all of it; instead I'm minimizing Firefox so that sites don't look silly. I guess when you're using technology as badly designed as that used to create/display websites anything harder than justifying text and images becomes a nightmare to develop and support.
Copyright is harder to make a corporate weapon than patents, right? The specifics of duration, situations, etc. are details that are debatable.

I was thinking more along the lines of the specific problem that DRM is attempting to solve - why DRM exists - to see if there is any thoughts as the way to remove DRM completely but still solve the gap in copyright enforcement.

Because the solution isn't to punish people who make mistakes, it's to improve processes to the point where mistakes are unable (or it at least takes more than a single doctor misreading a drug or miscalculating a dosage amount) to occur.

Ask HN: Why React developers don't want to use UI builder?
I'm the author of Structor, it's really handy tool for creating UI for Web application with React components. In this article I made some introduction for Structor https://medium.com/@alex_pustovalov/structor-as-a-playground-for-react-applications-49accf4544b8#.n75e4q571

Also, I created something like a market for React components, it is convenient service which is integrated with Structor. Through this market developer can install any component into his project in form of source code generator - just like a big repository for components.

Till that time no one has tried to publish even the simplest component.

I'm really wondering, it so needless for developers to exchange with components quickly?
I'd be curious to see results from the uncollege program but they may be too new for the data to make any sense: http://uncollege.org

I love the transparency this project operates with. Looking forward to when joins are implemented so I can try using it with something non-trivial.
Power efficiency and size reduction go hand in hand. The gate capacitance is reduced at lower geometry, and you can also reduce the core voltage. Both of which directly contribute to power.

The only other way to reduce power is by clock gating, which pretty much happens these days on any decent SoC design targeted at mobile.
This was the takeaway that I had too. I'm surprised to see your comment is not at the top of this thread.

If a more exclusive college (x-axis) is proportionally more expensive, then this graph suggests that everyone, regardless of field, is better off going to a more expensive college. Getting a 12% annualized return on a $100k private bachelors is better than getting the same return on a $30k public university education.
I'd worry about what this does for employee behavior too. Seems like the dominant strategy becomes one of getting on the good side of the largest number of people, and the specific needs of your actual position in the company take a back seat.

"Bloomberg News reports[1] that David Keith, a Harvard professor of applied physics and public policy, used to be a solar power skeptic but has reexamined the economics of current solar power and now expects solar power to be important because the economics have changed."

I don't follow solar/power/coal news much, so forgive me ...

Is all of this ex-subsidies ? That is, if we remove the subsidies that coal gets and the tax credits / subsidies that solar gets, does the math still pencil out in the way that still makes David Keith no longer a skeptic ?

> What is the equivalent in the ER?

A checklist that the ER is correctly cleaned and equipped, that all equipment is in correct order and in the right place, connected, powered up and configured correctly. That all consumables are sufficient. That the correct combination of staff is present and sufficiently rested for the shift, and that lines of communication and escalation are open. A clear procedure for what happens if something isn't up to snuff, but the ER needs to operate anyway, especially making sure that everybody knows what doesn't work.

Clear checklists for all standard operations. Second pair of eyes and clear unambiguous concurrency from two different qualified members of staff before any medicine is administered or other non-trivial decision is made.

Etc etc etc.
I think we need WAR ON MEDICAL ERRORS ! ! !

The building wasn't in imminent danger of collapsing. One would assume that had a gale-force storm been forecast for the city, someone would have ordered an evacuation. However, had they tried to explain the situation, many people would have over-reacted and refused to step foot inside, causing huge losses for everyone.
I don't know that I would agree that Apple is not trying anything. The Apple Watch, Apple Pay, Swift, HealthKit and ResearchKit, HomeKit--potentially a car... if anything, the critique against Cook seems to be that Apple is trying too many things and losing focus.

I agree that Jobs was a special talent who could command the organization. I think Cook is emphasizing collaboration because he knows he can't lead Apple the same way Jobs could. Probably no one can.

The idea that addicts don't have meaning in their life is completely false.

But, even if that were true, you'd have to think you are a pretty special snowflake to think that there are currently people that:

a) have "a deficit of meaning" in their life (not sure where you come up with this stuff but keep it coming, I think it's great!)

b) Once the stress of wage slavery is removed, they wouldn't spend time searching for meaning... just like everyone else does. I mean, where do you think friendship, purpose, spirituality, etc come from?
It would have to be something that favors scrubbing CO2 over generating more of it.

Why don't we wake up: testing for breast cancer colors to learn theair cancer risk is insignificant when you consider that taking 200 mcg of Selenium every day reduces the risk of breast cancer with a whopping 80%.

Yes, 80% !! Dr Joel Wallach had to sue the FDA 3 times to be able to say this in public. Dr Wallach won so you bet that there is plenty of evidence that a little Selenium should be taken by everybody. It also reduces the risk of prostate cancer by 50%.
In my experience, in an unrelated field, most human errors are actually a cumulation of other systematic errors.

Pilots are responsible for safety, sure, but there are multiple checks in case the pilot suddenly passes out (or stops paying attention, or whatever). Control towers, copilots, etc.

I know nothing of anesthesiology, but it seems to me that a doctor shouldn't be a single point-of-failure. If he is, it seems like that should fall under systematic-errors.
At some point you're going to just have to accept that an upvote/rating system means that the articles on HN are "whatever the HN community wants to see", and no amount of griping or rules lawyering is ever going to change that. HN is a self-selecting population which mostly shares the same interests, and those interests are usually about hacking or IT or entrepreneurship, but not always. The population likes hearing about Tesla, so Tesla articles get front-paged.
This is already being done in a small number of hospitals in the USA and other parts of the world. The problem is mainly the resources (money and time) needed to repackage all the drugs to their own unit doses fast enough. Most of the time a barcode / QR code / equivalent 2D printed codes suffices and is much cheaper (and more flexible) than RFID tags.

However, you won't believe the kind of things that go wrong with this approach either. It's basically operating a manufacturing plant inside a pharmacy / hospital, but without presence of anyone titled "engineer".

In an ideal world, the drug authority (FDA) would require all manufacturers to print proper barcodes in all unit doses at the time of manufacture.
No; we were usually too busy just keeping the site up and trying to generate revenue.... though actually, there were occasional times where we said "fuck that" and took a break to work on something fun, like an April Fools stunt.

What I'd like is for you to provide some links that support your position.

Right now I'm literally seeing nothing via Googling that supports your idea that the science consultation was merely a response to a rogue salmon researcher and other hype PR and the like.

In addition to the Nature article, on the other hand, plenty of other articles tend to support the position that most of the "muzzling" was political, in key industries that were either afoul of political ideology, or ran contrary to business policy, or both. Here's the first page of Googling on the Harper science issue.

That's a large amount of links that are saying this.

I will note that only a few specific examples of suppression came up repeatedly, so there could be some "political inflation" going on. But showing up with zero counterpoint links isn't doing anyone any favors. At this point, I'd have to think the other side is more correct.

Instinctively I personally think that it is naive to think that "government ensuring the message is clear and coherent" will actually produce better results than a free independent press generalizing science. Bias is natural, but a free and independent press often consists of many biases, not just one, with less power to manipulate public opinion in most cases. (In other words, so what if some mainstream media reports science wrong? After all, some might report it right. Either is a much better situation than science not being reported at all.)
Anyone thinking advertising doesn't work should ...

You can already tell the bitcoin client to prune old blocks, because theoretically you don't need to keep any blocks more than a few hours old as long as you maintain a database with the last known ownership of every coin. In the future you could expect a setting to have the client ignore coins you don't control and crunch the entire db down to less than 1 GiB.

> This was not an independent researcher. This was not the private sector. This was someone directly employed by the government. It's like a Microsoft employee wrote about vulnerabilities in Windows on their private blog, offering to sell solutions.

Bad analogy, IMO. Microsoft is a private corporation. The government is a public entity, responsive directly to the people. A democratic government is supposed to be, IMO must be, transparent to be effective.

As to whether this impacted science, you only need to ask the scientists themselves. They say "yes."

But maybe you don't believe the scientists? If so, that would explain why you don't seem to have a problem with censoring them.
Why do you call it "underappreciated"?

I think the bigger issue is that women are having children that they would otherwise not be able to afford. We know that people respond to incentives. Between free healthcare, WIC credit, free or low cost child care, public education, and more, there's massive subsidization.

UBI still permits people to have children that they'd otherwise be unable to afford, but at least the absence of other sibsidies will force individuals to decide how they'd like to budget that income, on children or otherwise.

Teleology is the idea that something has a purpose. I don't see climate as having a purpose (in that it wasn't designed with a goal in mind). I also don't see climate as a system (mainly because I don't see it having a teleologic character), it is the simplification and summarization of somewhat cyclically driven (though definitely non-linear) phenomena.

After that, the Hadean is a period about 4 billion years ago named mainly because (to life) it was hellish, but otherwise relatively self-contained (in comparison to the epoch immediately preceding it when space debris continued to pummel the planet).

It's not quite the same because the admission system is not random.

The grandparent commenter was concerned that 'people who go to college' may have better outcomes not because of college but because they are smarter or wealthier. In Scotland's case the admission is based on grades so it still leaves open the possibility that college graduates are just smarter than everyone else instead of better educated.
Because history made us build structures and lifestyles that require oil class energy density. We surely don't need it since we were born without. We don't need all of this. Not to that extent, we could cut worldwide transportation. We could eat less. Rethink housing. Even internet[1].

I'd like to see the time when energy will lack.

Sometimes I wonder how we could rebootstrap technology in a frugal manner. Have shelter, a bit of comfort, a predictable enough supply not to worry too much.

I agree the stated reasoning for cancelling the census is because of privacy-related complaints. Of course, out of approximately 12 million forms only 166 complaints were known to be received directly or indirectly.

I'm not sure this is best forum for political conversations (or really anywhere online) and, at best, we can only make assumptions about motivations and reasoning beyond what we are told. My assumption is that is that census data makes it more difficult to govern based on opinion and therefore was less desirable to the Conservative government. But that is a pretty inflammatory opinion. However the reality is that the lack of census data over this period has caused significant damage to understanding of the country[1]. And cancelling it has gives very little benefit in comparison.

Seriously? Losing your job hardly means that your life is ruined.
Any cryptocurrency will do, but it obviously requires the customer be wired up to send you the transactions. I have several models kicking around in my head for when we're going to need it. You may want to check out Bitcoin's microtransaction support. As you mention below, Ethereum may be a good candidate for this as well, given it can auto post transactions at a certain date.
I've had chemo twice now, the first time I got this cancer and now a different mix (folfox). The negative effects are painful yet really minor compared to the potential of getting rid of your tumor or cancer.

The first chemo (gemcytabin) was once per week, three weeks, then pause, then again, over six months. This one is two days every fortnight, for six months. The first time I was tired and a little nauseous. This time I was pretty bad for two days after the drugs, and ended up on small doses of stuff I suspect they give to psychiatric patients, to calm my vomiting.

It is still worth doing, for two reasons. One, the chemo can and does work even when the chances are low. A day or two of feeling shit is minor, compared to the chance of not dying. This notion that chemo somehow ruins your life is not accurate, generally.

Secondly, the data goes back to medical research. This is the only reason I did the chemo both times because we all know bile duct cancer just doesn't respond to chemo. But they have to keep trying different things, and one day something will work, and then they'll refine it, and it'll save lives down the line.

I'm going to write another article, about how to be happy and "life as much as possible" even with chemo. It is about simple things like having lots of company and talking openly about your situation.
This extension redirects requests before they've even started, making it much faster than what's possible with a Greasemonkey script. Greasemonkey scripts are also hard to discover and install these days.
