I think the NYT should have done better job of explaining that not all stem cell treatments are created equal. Associating "stem cell" with scary monster teratoma is not helpful (although I of course feel terrible for this guy and anyone else who has been victimized by this kind of irresponsible "medicine").

Under no circumstances should anyone be injecting embryonic cells into themselves. Clearly, it is unsafe and I'm not sure there's a lot of evidence to show that it does much to alleviate stroke or any other paralyzing condition.

Bone marrow stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells; MSC) on the other hand have a proven safety record, as do several other types of more mature stem cells (cord blood, e.g.). Full disclosure, I'm a partner in Forever Labs (foreverlabs.co), which is a company dedicated to storing bone marrow cells while one is relatively young, so that they can be used later in life. Articles of this type are important, but we need to make sure we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Stem cell treatments have a bright future, IMO.
Automation reduces prices. Eventually when everything is automated, prices go to zero. So no need for money then. Self-solving problem.
I have owned multiple pairs, and still use one for my main work. The bass and treble roll-off isn't great for mixing and mastering, but it's a truly great value for the money for most monitoring uses in performance. It's better on the production vs. consumption end - where people like all their colored sound.

It's like the NS-10's of the headphone world. Well-understood and consistent, while offering a great average, flat experience that translates well over the air.
> Google, Facebook, and especially Twitter are used by terrorist organisations for recruitment and propaganda. These videos brainwash young people into hatred of the west, incite them to leave their countries to go join a war that is not theirs, polarize, and are directly responsible for suicide attacks.

You could say the same thing about middle eastern war movies propagated by media corporations and military contracts in order to create a stereotypical image of cultures across the seas. In an attempt to sign up more military and invade formerly sovereign middle eastern nations.
I actually use a local instance of nginx/openresty as my web debugging proxy. I should write a blog on it or something, since it seems like few people do.

It's free. It's a breeze to set up, all you need to do is point it at the upstream server you are testing, and it has lua support so you can write code and modify requests on the fly, strip headers, inject things with code.

All the work is already done to manipulate HTTP requests and responses in nginx so it is actually really smooth, there is no learning curve of a new tool, and everything just works.
Right, which means that if I followed the REST principle (clients don't construct URIs), then every request must make an extra, unnecessary round trip for every parameter. Which sounds quite pointless.

Allan Jude might be a viable candidate for some of the content, if he'd like to.

Also, Dr. McKusick documented some of the internals in his living FreeBSD kernel book, but as you said, this might be beyond Ars's scope.

Though, I've seen some deep technical content on Ars, so why not give it a try.

I'd rather they actually mod it so the switch is removed and the circuit hardwired. I imagine someone beating up the "stuck" switch and breaking the circuit/mic altogether.

From an earlier submission (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2546087) another factor that gives NPR programs a different feel than your average live radio interview is a large amount of careful editing, described by On the Media’s John Soloman: http://nprfreshair.tumblr.com/post/5449544068/lk-on-the-medi...

What I found most interesting about the review is that Apple chose not to implement file data checksumming for the reason that the underlying hardware is very 'safe' and already employs ECC anyway.
Because Apple systems are non-expandable, I usually store my large data on external drives (USB, NAS, etc). Any idea if APFS will work on them, either direct connect or iSCSI?
Ask HN: How do you find articles similiar to one you really liked?
Sometimes after a long time searching I'll come across one that really stands out. Now I just want to find ones that are similar to that.

Any tips or solutions that exist?

What I've done so far is find "industry keywords" or certain phrases.

I think this is a really valuable problem to solve especially with all the clutter we have to deal with on the web.
Money-wise, I guess that is true. Although I do not expect the increase to be that significant.

Regarding your follow-up (the better question). I do agree. But it does not make it any easier. Maybe working in this new job could get me closer to the person I aspire to be like? How would I know if that was the case (before-hand)? Not in any way easier than just knowing if a wanted percentage increase in income will suffice for the lost coding time :)

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Or their prices are lower because their customers, being aware of overseas prices, are more sophisticated about pricing than a typical US shoppers and so the vendors can't get any with absurdly inflated prices.

I say this because I spent a dozen years living in southern Europe where, not only are all food prices lower, (eg a loaf of bread is often 1/10 what it is in the states and American brand boxed cereal and California wine is cheaper then in their paces of origin.) but also there are product differences that reduce prices but not quality (eg eggs and milk that don't require refrigeration, vastly less packaging, few advertisements)

So yes marketing would raise prices but by bringing in more naive consumers and raising their expenses.
Sure would. You couple just reload the page after logging in though.
52% voted for it, and not a single positive reaction from a scientist? "OMG, all the smart scientists are against Brexit so if I'm smart, I must be against it too!" Propaganda at its finest...
People are going to forget their passwords no matter what, so you have to have a system in place for someone not knowing their password. If you have that system in place, it will also work for people who copied a typo in their password.

In addition, the whole point of making someone type their password twice when changing it is because you can't see what you are typing in a password field. You also can't copy what is in a password field, so there is no danger of someone copying the typoed password in the normal case. You are only stopping people from using something like a password manager.

I'm also not a lawyer, but my thought process is like this: in the open source spirit, given this is not a book to be profited from, and profiting from technical books is very hard anyway, developers of some software could contribute technical content which then instead of compensation would only get editor time and in return be allowed to be included in the project's documentation. Real World Haskell, Real World OCaml somehow managed to convince the publisher this is fine. Again, IANAL, just thinking out loud.
Such clickbait. "Coding" will never be over. We've come along way from punch cards and it will continue to be abstracted further and further.

Self driving cars, virtual and augmented reality, the automation of everything, consumer level fabrication, the explosion of machine learning and data science into everywhere... I think there is plenty of room in the world for more code!
The biggest problem I've seen is business priority in work scheduling of development. When the business lead doesn't really get[1] that developers wanting to fix a bug that crops up in production will allow them to sleep the night. Worse when developers and support are separate. Lord help you if the DBA team cannot be bothered to wake up.

I swear, next time someone says "its just needs a little manual intervention, no big deal", I might fly into a violent rage. Particularly if the cause is documented and just waiting a "sprint" to slot it into.

USB devices can definitely be formatted with APFS, since they did that on-stage during the demo.

I'm less sure about iSCSI targets, but iSCSI is a block-storage protocol. If you can format an iSCSI volume with HFS+ today, you'll probably be able to format it with APFS tomorrow.
"GraphQL will completely replace REST in the coming years." What the hell? Where's your source for that?

She says the solution is that product managers should be able to make an app do whatever they want to do and skip the engineers. This makes her sound very inexperienced. Don't you think we would have gotten there by now if possible?

So her new mission is to create a drag and drop interface that can build every app every company would ever want, and she doesn't have a clue how to do it "but probably with React." Nice.

Does she think the only thing requiring code are websites? Does she think we can just drag and drop Google search algorithms and space shuttle software into existence?

This almost seems like a troll article.
All mics colour the sound in different ways. For some reason the U87 adds a colouration that's perceived as expensive, larger than life, and authoritative.

Other mics - including cheaper Neumanns - don't have quite the same effect.

It's not about capturing the sound perfectly accurately, but about creating an impression with sound. That's why some pro audio gear is so insanely expensive.

It's very hard to create the same impression digitally because this kind of subtle analog distortion is complex, non-linear, and not very well understood.
“How many zombies do you know?” Using indirect survey methods to measure
This article is better than a lot of comparables and the discussion isn't bad, so we've reduced the downweights (not Airbnb-related) that got automatically applied to this submission and replaced the baity title with something more neutral.

I would challenge point 3. The Brexit campaign did make promises of future, where the Remain camp didn't.

It's politics 101: highlight the positive. Remain side was labelled "Project Fear" - all they talked about were the negative consequences of a brexit outcome.

We know from fundamental psychology and game theory research people have different risk preferences for upside and downside. We also know from past political campaigns, that positive rhetoric is usually victorious.

The confusing thing about this is that on the surface, it's the Leave side that appears negative. A big part of its message was anti-immigration, anti-modern-world, counting on xenophobia to get them the numbers.

But they offered a promise of better. Take control. Things will change if you vote. All the Remain-side had to offer, were threats of things "getting even worse".

They failed to see that the status quo was disappointing to a huge demographic, not something they felt desperate to maintain. If the future seems already grim, you might want to pick the carrot over the stick.

There is a piece of terrible, unwarranted analysis in this article:

> But there’s one angle to this that helps explain the madness and it goes back to that earlier PayPal screen grab. This was of the change password page, not the login page. You can easily paste into the login page and in fact you can even paste into the original password field on the change password page, just not the new password field or the other field that confirms it.

> The reason lies in the earlier message I showed from PayPal, in particular this part of the password criteria:

> Use[] 8-20 characters

> Ah, so because you’ve gone and put an arbitrary limit on the length of my password and taken away my ability to create a nice a 50 character random string, you’ve had to kill the paste function because otherwise I’d go around thinking I’ve got a 50 char password but it was actually truncated to 20 due to the maxlength attribute of the password field. Nice one guys, good work there

Having spoken to no one about this, I'm still confident that Troy Hunt is full of crap. The reason to disallow copy-and-pasting into the new password field(s) is obviously the same as the reason you have a confirmation field in the first place: you want to make sure the user hasn't entered the password wrong, inadvertently locking themselves out of their own account. Allowing them to enter their password once and then paste it, typos and all, into the "confirm password" field completely defeats the purpose of having the confirm password field at all.
I am pretty sure it is satire. It has to be, right?
Answer "I disagree" is one thing, answer "you are wrong" - is fine also. Answer "it's not true" - is calling opponent a liar. It's offensive and I see nothing wrong in my try to defend myself.

Only thing I regret is typo in previous comment in this branch.
It isn't a preference if it is your only choice.
Clickbait-y headline. But the author makes some valid points. Software engineering is in the end just problem solving. And re-implementing already resolved issues from scratch does not a good engineer make. (And by that I mean in a professional context, not in the beginning for purely educational purposes. I learned web dev by re-writing a simple Twitter clone from scratch and still recommend that as the best way to get one's feet wet.)

There are untold opportunities to make the tools we use to build software more capable and reduce the cognitive load that a large code base imposes on it's engineering team. The next few years should be interesting.
"I figured the prices were cheap because the selection is all C-grade bok choy and yesterday’s bananas."

Literally from the start of the article. You and many others might not think like the author but there is a segment of the population who does.

I grew up in the Jasper area, and we'd have bear traps placed all around the town, in forests. The bears loved to head in to town for some easy pickings of food. Often they'd be tranquilized if they became a problem, and then moved to a new area.

In my personal opinion, I'd say they weren't necessarily starved for food but they would continue heading back to town because they were handled very carefully when encountered with a human. If they were put in a situation of harm, they'd be killed instead of being harmlessly tranquilized.

It was fairly common to wake up in the middle of the night with a bear going through your garbage. The town's are fairly small and in close proximity with the forest. I think it's less about food supply and more about constant exposure to humans, easy access, and living in close proximity.

For the most part, the bears were fairly harmless too. Any aggressive bear would be immediately killed.
This is already illegal in the UK, but sadly I think it will take a high profile court case where someone sues the radio station or an advertisement company for causing an accident to enact this kind of change in the US.

> What makes you think elected representatives have more expertise and time to evaluate ambulatory for every municipality in the country?

They are experienced, full-time professionals in running government. I'm an experienced, full-time professional in IT; I know far less than they do about governing. Like any executive, they don't need expertise in every field under their purview - that would be impossible. But they know what goes into the executive-level decision; they have experts to advise them; they have aides, time, and other resources (e.g., funded studies) to study the question; and they are experts in and practitioners of the highest-order issue of every question, the politics.

Not all of them are good at their jobs - which is no different than people in private companies (and in IT). That's the inescapable nature of humanity and human institutions, including voters and also the consumers you have so much faith in, until our AI overlords take over.
I'm all of removing regulation where it makes sense, replacing public with private where it makes sense. This seams like a clear regulatory failure, as in not enough regulation and not enough right kind of regulation.

So while the company could (and should) have done more. The real issue is that there should be statewide clear policy and regulation that defines what standards (public / private) entities must meet if they provide these services. And I do image these would be stringent and complex.

On Windows at least, Fiddler has always been the tool of choice for this amongst everyone I know too.
Or the answers are premade when the password is created.
> But, consider that the segment of your users who don't use password managers is also very likely 100% intersecting with the segment of your users who do not ever attempt to paste a password into a password field.

I guarantee you are wrong about this. For example, a lot of people receive passwords via email, and then paste them in.
THE END: INTEGER FACTORIZATION
I'm not losing sleep with excitement about rich hipster junk food either, but thanks for the straw man.

Don't pretend this stuff doesn't affect me. People "free willing to choose" to ruin their health on trash food (among other things) drives up the cost of everyone's health insurance, punishing everybody so a few players in the junk food industry can cash in. My insurance now costs 35% of my rent, this is not a minor problem. A similar situation is where Walmart abuses government welfare to underpay their workers. There are social consequences to "innovations" like this that are not exclusively individual.

I get excited to see economic investments put into improving people's health and increasing their longevity, not destroying them mentally and physically with addictive garbage. I'm not saying we make it illegal, but I see no reason to get excited about investing into it. This new company is not innovative in the slightest. It's a continuation of the industrial revolution trying to figure out how to turn plastic into food and make us crave it, while in the process automating out every single last worker.
I was replying to your comment that marketing was going to "solve the problem".

See my comment above about how Chinese culture is food savvy and value conscious. Increasing prices won't increase profit, it will just decrease sales to very low levels, while people laugh and move on down to the next stall.
