Maybe it's a cultural thing. While I don't have a Facebook account, but a close friend has an account where a bunch of her friends are from the Philippines. Her friends in the U.S. don't seem to share much, other than an occasional funny picture; while those from the Philippines share what they are doing all the time. (She's from the U.S. and has never been to the Philippines.)

Although he did find recognition and prizes, in his lifetime P.K.Dick made SF fans - who mostly tended to staunch rationalism, or a good facsimile thereof - uneasy due to the slightly unhinged mysticism coming through. But he did hit a bell with resonance in the mainstream: after Stephen King he's probably the writer with most movie adaptations of his stories.

He's not reporting these cases. He hasn't written any case studies for his proposed new illness. He hasn't written any peer-reviewed articles about his proposed new "demonic possession" illness.

He has said that a small number of these people do not have a mental illness, and he's sent those people back to religious groups.

Honestly, my bigger concern would be motivating a retaliatory attack. A lot of the people who run botnets have big egos and respond poorly to this kind of challenge, especially when it can mean serious lost money for them.
I've caused a retaliatory attack against a system I was responsible for once (thankfully not an important one) and I know at least one other security professional with a similar story - and in his case it was an important network and it stayed down due to retaliatory DDoS for long enough to generate a lot of upset people.

Any kind of active and specific pushback to malicious actors is poking a hornet's nest, and if done on the behalf of an employer, there should be serious discussion and acceptance of the risk of retaliation. Particularly with people running DDoS operations who, in my experience, tend to be a little immature.

The way I see it, Facebook's newsfeed has already penalized organic reach so severely it doesn't really doesn't provide a strong growth channel for small businesses any more.

> ... the public has a bad track record of knowing what they want ..

For products that don't yet exist, this is often true.

For products that are used daily, this is less clear.

Facebook is now backtracking because user behavior has changed, possibly because user needs/wants have changed.
I think the biggest trouble is that the vast majority of useful browser extensions need to read and/or modify the content of web pages. Often both. So the ability to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" is a really common use case for extensions in general.

I'd love to see some user controls on extensions. A great many ad blockers have a feature built in that allows you to disable them on particular websites to work around cases where the blocker has broken the site inadvertently. I want to see this in reverse: I'd like to be able to very easily say to my browser, "OK, this youtube extension can run on youtube.com, and also on *.tumbler.com to make some change to embedded youtube players on people's blogs, but nowhere else." This isn't even particularly advanced to implement: the extension can simply be disabled by default, and either prompt to activate through some browser-controlled trigger, or wait until the user turns the extension on. I think that would stand a fair, usable middle ground between the more common all-or-nothing approach to that particular permission.

Because mostly, I don't care that much at this point. Facebook is "that thing" now.

I'm not sure but I guess this was what they encouraged? I remember going to places and meeting people, they'd pull up their phone and add you as facebook friends. And you'd accept. Not anymore though.

Also, on the UX front; "unfriend" is a pretty strong word. Just leaves a bad taste when you want to click on it :). And unfollow stuff came out so late that the train had already passed.

>Yeah, but if you're a pro, the unpredictable half day or more you'll probably have to invest several times a year to keep your Hackintosh running through OS updates totally negates the upfront cost savings.

If, as claimed in the article, a high-end hackintosh can be $7000 cheaper than the equivalent apple hardware, that outweighs a lot of "half days" for a lot of professionals. How many professionals earn less than $7000 per month? I would guess many.

> OS X is so much more stable than any other Linux desktop I've ever used

You guys are doing something seriously wrong. I've been using Debian, Ubuntu CentOS and Fedora for years with no issue whatsoever, from puny Celeron-based laptops to multi-socket Xeon boxes.

I love my Macs, but to say they are in any way more stable than the Linux machines is indicative of something odd. To me, the biggest advantage of the Mac is being able to run iTunes and sync my phone.
> On what evidence can you say that more research

On what basis can you say it will? These studies have known drawbacks in that they serve as a rallying point for all sorts of discrimination masquerading as high-minded discourse, and we're yet to see a benefit so far, so the burden of proof here is on you.

At least part of the problem here is given two children / job-applicants / defendants / whatever, who are absolutely identical in every way except for a specific cosmetic phenotype, what possible justification is there for treating them differently based on correlation between that phenotype and some other characteristic over a large population?

couldn't we just give adblockers an api for filtering network requests, that they could just decide to allow or deny requests? And then give them no other internet access?

This seems like an API failure that common jobs for extensions can't be done without scary permissions.

Yes.

My point was that it is trivial for Microsoft to implement support for an open system, compared to implementing support for a closed system such as Windows.

There would be better support for running Windows applications under Linux if Windows was an open system.

> However let's say the figure is 50%.

It's not.

> Does the argument still follow?

Yes. Given two people with similar academic achievements and no history of violence, discriminating between them is ridiculous. Treating individuals different based solely on their skin colour would still have no scientific or logical basis, as you'll still have many many stupid and violent green skinners, and peaceful and intelligent blue skinners.

All that the "studies" will do is discourage natural bigots from looking at the traits of an individual.

> At what % would we inevitably be forced to pay
> attention?

At the point where you could reliably extrapolate about a given individual based on their skin colour more accurately than you could based on their personal history to date.
That's a great idea. The implementation could look similar to how Firefox handles plugins today, offering the option to "Always activate", "Ask to activate", and a way to say "Always allow for this domain". Other permissions could still be handled with the iOS or Android approach.
It's an excellent point, but people don't tend to care about pirating software (and writing articles admitting to such) or license terms, except when it's a company like BMW distributing GPL software... then the pitchforks come out.

I'm actually curious what the minimum viable Apple hardware one needs to legitimately follow Apple's license. Is it the motherboard? The case? A few custom chips? What if you could purchase just thoes parts (eg: as repair parts) in order to be fully license compliant, then build your Mac up around those? You would get to be legit and you're also able to customize all the license agnostic parts to obtain whatever specs you're after.

The author did an excellent job of getting into their heads in the situation and rationalizing their decisions. They underestimated road conditions; "their pamphlet offered an (erroneous) alternative, apparently shorter route back down to the valley in the form of a road down Anvil Canyon;" they made an easy-to-make wrong turn; and they were operating under an assumption that help was a few miles south instead of dozens of miles back.

"Given the information available to them, where could they best find it? It is likely they had gone the entire day without seeing another human, so their entry route offered little hope of others. In examining their maps, Ballarat was many miles away, and with unknown services. Furnace Creek, with everything they needed, was far to the north, out of their reach. Even the paved Badwater Road on the valley’s east side had only intermittent traffic and was in a zone of lethal heat. But there was another possibility... [only about 8 or 9 miles to the south of them]"
What we learned about Product Hunt after 4 startup launches and 4000+ upvotes
It's probably because Hacker News is serious about not being Reddit and goes about maintaining an aura of seriousness better than most Internet forums.

That, and - for me, at least - most technology / startup news stories don't give too much room to drop references to my favorite cute, harmless, adorable magical-girl animes like Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the homage Yuki Yuna Is A Hero.

I can imagine the thrill of building the coolest Hackintosh ever, with, say, a quad E7 and a terabyte of ram attached to a quad 5K screen arrangement, but it quickly loses appeal when you need a Mac to actually get things done.

Let's say having the ability to run Mac software enables you to increase your monthly revenue by $5K (and that is a very generous overestimation), how much of your time is worth assembling and fixing your own versus buying a reasonable iMac or a MacPro?

> "Seriously i thought no one watches Anime on HN."

Really? Anime is a firm fixture in geek culture, and whilst there are plenty of people that don't like it, I'd suggest you're more than likely to find fans in the HN audience.

Gurenn Lagann is a great anime, pretty short but it's a good ride whilst it lasts. I kind of miss the OVA era of anime, most anime now seems to get dragged out too long (such as Naruto, still relying on fillers to pad out the story even though the manga finished over a year ago). When anime was distributed on video tape or DVD the creators couldn't really fall back on fillers, and the stories were better for it.

Google even accepted that email and delivered it. Even after Google forwarded it on to my non-Google email address, it still had "foo@example.com" in both the From and To headers. It does not have my GMail address in there at all.

I'm surprised google accepted that email actually. Seeing as it outright hard-failed SPF checks. example.com makes a pretty clear statement in their SPF record that it should never ever be used to send email ("v=spf1 -all")
It looks indeed like that, but I don't know. I can't make an enleightened judgment on a newspaper article.

Regarding peer review article, it's not always easy. Referees need a way to verify the seriousness of the study and, when possible, the validity of the result. This is not always possible. This doesn't imply the study wasn't serious or the study is invalid. Also, when the article's topic address very controversial subjects, no peer or editor may want to expose his credibility. This again doesn't tell us anything on the quality or validity of the study.

In the newspaper article there is evidence of the awareness by the psychiatrist of such types of problem. As a last resort, publishing a book is the best strategy to get the info out and accessible to all.

Regarding your last sentence you assume that the religious groups would harm the patient. This is yet an unproven claim. But I agree that this do happen in some case. I won't call that back into question. But currently I don't know if this was the case. I would support an investigation (without confirmation bias) that would verify how the psychiatrists ensured that the patient was in good hands in the religious group. Apparently the psychiatrist is very conscious of his mission to help people. These types of cases are apparently beyond his competence to help or heal them. He can only check if these cases fit the currently known mental desease frames.

Testing medication on them as some psychiatrists might have done would be much more irresponsible then leaving them to people who are known to be able to help them (without beheading or burning them).

But I agree this is a questionable point. My opinion on all that is that a scientific study is urgent, I mean real scientists.
Not always:

Often there exists a price point where it is more profitable to sell less than 100% at a larger price point instead of lowering the price until you can sell everything.

At this point the question is what to do with the rest supply. Physically dumping it is one option that might not be legal. Selling it to another market[0] may net you a small profit on top of the already good profit of the amount sold at the optimal price point.
