Just to clarify: I changed the title because I thought there was much more to this story than what the author or publication chose as a title.
IMHO It's an interesting analysis of how lean & design thinking can be applied to efficient content & communication. I think it goes beyond a niche discussion between public relations professionals.

And from our experience with our startup, it's what a startup should look for when creating content or looking for efficient marketing solutions (whether in-house or outsourcing it).
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll put it on my TODO.

The repo has a bunch of screenshots that also show what's in the gif.
> Do these companies still charge the same prices as in the US?

The majority of global R&D happens in the US market, even though the entire world benefits from it. So pharmaceutical companies have come to expect to recoup their R&D costs from the US market. Ultimately, this means that European markets benefit from the research without having to shoulder the bulk of the costs from it.

If they couldn't do that here, then yes, they might adjust their business models and try and charge more in Europe and India. But as mentioned above, India doesn't recognize patents, and since the R&D isn't taking place in Europe, there's less of a need to charge the same prices there. And because there isn't one single European market, its more complicated to price drugs there in such a way as to reliably turn a profit (after accounting for R&D) in each individual country than it is in the US, where insurance players are licensed by state but the pharmaceutical market is otherwise roughly uniform across all 50 states.
Opera VPN: Free Unlimited Ad Blocking VPN on the App Store
Yeah... that's very true too, I hadn't considered it from that angle.

I will admit that I far prefer software that runs fully locally; if I don't like the direction a particular program has gone, I can either just use an older version.

And I do also find it jarring to open an app and be met with some new layout or design, or discover a new feature buried in a menu that wasn't there before. It would be really nice if app design was at the point where we could go "okay, here's a bunch of new features, click this button to switch over!"...
Very interesting case of subscription based desktop application, am I right? How do you manage things such as a person being offline, do you require the person to connect to the internet so that you can manage the subscription? How does your users react? Have you already started with a subscription-based approach?
Good for you, but this is what the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers has to say about Italy:

> Drinking water is chlorinated and has no ill effect on the local population. However, some strains of e. coli (naturally occurring bacteria found in your gastro-intestinal system) may be present in very small concentrations in the local water supply. Some local strains are different than those that you may be used to, and may cause diarrhea in travellers since immunity is not developed as a result of short-term exposure. Using bottled water for the first few weeks will help you adjust and decrease the chance of traveller's diarrhea.

https://www.iamat.org/country/italy/risk/food-water-safety-o...

Poking around, the same warning is in place for Spain and Portugal.

I always get bottled water when travelling, although I tend to get the cheap local or store brand water. A few euros is really cheap anti-diarrhea insurance, and it tastes a lot better than chlorinated water, too.
Interesting project. Looks promising..
The website loads in 9 seconds (Chrome 50), the processing of the (peg$parseKeyword) functions takes 4.5 seconds of time during loading which causes the gap in the waterfall.

In the United States Google runs one of the biggest ad networks, which has occasionally served malware, and they run the biggest search engine. Penalizing in the later sites that use a competitor to the former might open them to an antitrust lawsuit. They could probably do this in a way that avoids antitrust liability, but I think they would have to tread very carefully.

The National Human Genome Research Institute keeps an up to date website on the costs of sequencing:
https://www.genome.gov/27541954/dna-sequencing-costs/
Their "cost per genome" image suggests the $1000 genome : https://www.genome.gov/images/content/costpergenome2015_4.jp... .

The costs of assaying a genome has dropped from $100 million to $1 thousand.

Identifying correlations with clinical metadata, understanding the post translational interactions and understanding the full roles of proteins and other molecules remains an intimidating and difficult job.

Picking technologies for a desktop app in 2016
Ive actually implemented this locally. I reached a breaking point with some of the intrusive ads, so I block ads. If a site(such as Wired) asks me to turn that off, I add it to simple blocker and dont go back. The funny thing is a) I have a print subscription to wired but I cant access the site without turning off ad blocking, and b) I dont miss the online version. If Im just being honest with myself, its doing me a favor by preventing procrastination.
As a US citizen, I identify strongly with being a world citizen, but I am very much against the neoconservative one world government movement.

Even the democrats are marching in lock-step on the path to corporate lead world government (e.g., President Obama dutifully going to England and preaching against British EU exit, and of course democrat turned neoconservative Hilliary Clinton).

I like very small countries. I recently spent 2 weeks in Singapore on business and loved it there. I am also drawn to tiny countries like Dominica that are off the usual path.

Ordinary people do much better in local economies where money in return for services and resources circulates, largely staying in the local economy - local economies are I think more resilient to a future of sporadic, or no growth. The current economy relies on continuous growth, which is not sustainable.
Joi Ito: Reinventing Bookkeeping and Accounting (In Search of Certainty)
In theory, it would work pretty well and there are startups in this space. The problem is that there is a number of different publishers and maintaining account with each of them doesn't sound very convenient. Unified payments system/interface might be better but it's a tough achievement to make.
If your company goes out of business because you spend time re-architecting then you're doing it wrong. The thing with stuff like Rails is that we don't need money to start quickly. They are amazing for validating a business idea and doing fast iterative agile development which is the core to building a successful startup. Once you've done that and have either cashflow or serious funding you can afford to pull out some functionality into separate services with more appropriate architecture etc. For what most MVP's are, tools like Rails are very good as they optimise for build speed. Clearly they can't do everything and shouldn't be used for some things but for most web things they are a solid choice. Companies that optimise prematurely are far more likely to go out of business.
No one is showing the clip of what he actually said, which is here:

He does absolutely say that "NGOs bang on about water being declared a human right", at the time when he is relaxed, and even bringing up some Austrian folk song about water. He says absolutely nothing about limits, or just being careful.

The page you linked is a great example of corporate damage control. I tend to trust what people say when they are being candid over what they say on a PR page.
I do have it in Python! I've successfully build some frontend experiments with Android (http://joaoventura.net/blog/2014/python-android/), Web (with Flask) and Qt (PyQt5 and pyotherside).

My problem is with the choice of the best frontend approach, and since I'm only one guy working on this, I am trying to find my "best" decision..
I love this article/presentation or whatever it is.

I often react very positively when websites are super-fast today. Especially on a mobile device, it is worth a lot to me.
Sure, that's the same pretty much anywhere - the water is safe when you're used to it, when moving you're better off giving yourself a couple of weeks to adjust.

I have seen nationalist/culturally inward looking people become very pragmatic for economic gains without actually endorsing liberal thoughts. So I doubt propaganda would have effect on people when it is at cost of economic betterment.

Ask HN: Diversifying knowledge portfolio as a web dev?
I am a full stack web developer with 6+ years of experience, mostly doing Ruby/Rails. I also know some Clojure but have been using it for fun side projects only.

Talking about securing my future as a developer, it looks to me, like there are a lot of highly paid jobs for Scala developers and that Scala has been progressing for the past few years.

Also, Go looks like the next standard de facto for highly loaded web APIs and is also quite well paid.

As for more abstract things, data collecting and processing fields also look promising, even in our small startup we have business intelligence team doing Data Mining. Seems to me like it's the future for many companies also.

What are your thoughts? How do you decide what to learn next?
Title edited back to show Forbe's title. But I think that it should have been more about how lean and design thinking can be applied to content and marketing.
That's exactly how I do things. I'm very glad that by distributing digitally, it's incredibly easy to roll out small fixes that are applied as incremental patches, so I don't tend to 'save up' for major updates. A benefit that comes with a stable engine is that it's already been tested on a wide variety of hardware, so most of the issues I fix are very rare gameplay bugs.

> Do any of you have any concept of duty, service, community?

Yes. Duty is important.

> You do realize that they are serving a cause much greater than you or I

That's the problem. A lot of people in the intelligence community are serving a cause, but it's not the cause they promised to defend when they swore an oath of office.

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this
obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;
and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on
which I am about to enter.

They took an oath to defend the Constitution, not to save lives or defend a government. The are betraying their sworn allegiance when they subvert the plain meaning of the 4th Amendment and other constitutional protections.

Snowden is one of the few that fulfilled his duty to the Constitution. Everyone else in the intelligence community that stayed silent instead of reporting rights violations and other crimes is a collaborator that placed personal interest above their duty.

Is Moore law against this?

A possible future scenario could be one were technology becomes so cheap that Apple/Google/Facebook .et all, starts "lending" their own hardware for free so people can access their _open_ walled-garden flavored internet.

Projects like of RPi/Arduino bring me hope that this wont ever happen, at least to us.
I just disagree. It's up for the community to decide what's useful and what's not by voting on it.

If you don't like the link - don't vote. If enough people like it, then it's fair for others to see it. That's how communities work, you can't change rules to please everyone because you never will.
I meant in the sense of, why would I believe something for no reason at all? I'm not terribly interested in the advantages and rewards I gain by thinking a thing, other than the basic stuff that naturally comes with seeking and discovering truth.

But, since you bring it up, I'm pretty sure I'm getting basically most of what you mention already, in one form or another, and probably some other stuff that believing in God would diminish. No thanks.
Germany is a country of assimilation and a very sizable portion of immigrants (I count esp. the Gastarbeiter that we have failed to repatriate) have not managed this and now even 2 or 3 generations later we have certain city districts with over 50% immigrants that mainly speak insufferable Kanakendeutsch or barely any at all (luckily I live in one of the better suburbs in that regard), in which you feel like a foreigner in your own country.

If we have to wait 3 or more generations for assimilation to happen, if ever, no wonder that right-conservative parties can use this as a selling point.

An error anywhere during the game can be unrecoverable, that's why it's an error. The opening isn't special, in fact I'm sure an error in the ending is more likely to lead to a loss.

Chess strength _doesn't_ depend strongly on memorization. GMs are often content to take an equal position against IMs and then just outplay them in the rest of the game.

At top top level, they do spend a huge amount of time on opening research, but that is because they can. They can work full time, they know who their opponents are going to be, they have engines and seconds. You can use those resources on concrete analysis of positions that might occur, but not as easily on expanding your generic middlegame knowledge. It doesn't apply to normal GMs.
I think smaller governmental entities sounds good but if not met with a corresponding limit on corporate power the unintended consequences will be bad. What I would like to see is to not have power concentrated in too few hands. It seems to me there is way too much money in way too few hands.
Land of the fee...
Umm, I don't think I said that?

The post is essentially trying to give people courage to speak the truth (as you say).

You say "There is probably something wrong there if you treat social interactions with too much importance."

The post describes what's wrong. And it also tells you how to treat social interactions with less importance... by analyzing what you feel and why you feel that way... as you said.
That's true. It's harder to get fired following the map. Haven't thought about that, since it's not my preference. Thanks for the reminder. Now it makes sense to think that way.

Oh man, Spine is amazing. The latest 3.0 release has some great new scale features, and the fact that you can browse all the runtimes on github and submit patches is just the best. And the community is great too, lots of support on the forums, and bugs I've reported were fixed in days. So yes, Spine is absolutely worth the investment.
> Why operate ~196 governments when one government would suffice?

I don't disagree with your inefficiency comment, but upsides are diversity of trying things in 196 slightly different ways, 196 chances to fail without thew whole system going down, and the opportunity for individuals to move to a place that is most inline with their personal philosophy.
I don't think that ads were fine for the past decade (I'd even say that they got better but that's just based on my memory).

I run a web app and am happy with it. Advantages:

- no update process

- support is easier, because you don't have to dig in the users specific setup

- monthly subscription model might be easier to accept for people, if they don't have the feeling of "owning" the software like with traditional desktop apps

- no multiple platforms (although people want apps, but at least, you don't have to also provide Linux and OS X versions)

Disadvantages:

- no offline mode (some people want that)

- some people want the feeling of ownership and privacy

I think as a one-man business, it's easier to maintain a web app than a desktop app.
Even considerung a possible connection I don't see a problem. That's how business works.

That is the tricky part, is that I know how to make web apps (used to work as backend web developer), desktop apps (did my fair share of them), and can also play a bit with Android (did some small experiments and patches for Cyanogenmod).

We have a website presence too, and the website UI (as visited in a normal browser) is 95% the same style and functionality as the desktop app.

So when you browse to our site via the desktop app, certain OS-only features turn on.

So it made a bunch of sense to use QtWebkit. I welcome the switch to QWebEngine though, if for nothing else in the hopes that the underlying browser code gets a update and the app will hopefully then feel more responsive.
With a few exceptions, that's pretty much untrue.

See the import tax that I included in the calculation? IMO this should be the way to solve this from a humanitarian standpoint. If a government wants to solve medical issues of poor countries, it can work together with drug corporations, dictate the price points (i.e. manufacturing+logistics without R&D) for offering these supplies and then protect the own market through import taxes on these products. But the point here is: It needs to be a transparent, i.e. democratic, process. The way it works now is just shady and anti free market.
