It's not even feasible. Like IP, the outbound calls go via many paths. So like ISPs almost never filter your source address, same for telcos. Small ones with tiny accounts might, but no one even remotely on wholesale.

But changing IDs is already illegal, so the FCC could decide to chase it down if enough people complain.

From the article, regarding sea level rise:

When ice shelves lose large chunks, it does not raise sea level because these
bodies are already afloat. However, the loss of an ice shelf can speed up the
seaward flow of the nonfloating glacial ice behind it, and this ice can in turn
contribute to sea-level rise. Researchers have estimated that the loss of all
the ice that the Larsen C ice shelf currently holds back would raise global
sea levels by 10 centimetres.
Nobody cares how hard you or your coworkers work. Results matter, nothing else.

Given the story so far, you offer adwords style customer service (we don't give a damn about you) while attempting to catch up from position 3 behind aws and azure in the paas race. Complete with automated emails with outdated documentation and no human anywhere without a social media outcry. I'm sure stories like this are damaging (seriously, just use aws), and there will be some postmortem damage control, but unless I see a human support sla for situations like this, I can't see why anyone would risk their business on you.

Seriously, a fix it or we shut you down email for reasons you won't share with an 2 business day response. Of course, you're issuing a 3 day warning, so if that fell on a Friday, you would be dark before anyone bothered to look at the support ticket (3 days expire Monday, 2 biz days Tuesday evening). Amazing.

As I said, it's been a few years. But Santa Cruz is a dump, and not comparable in any way to Buenos Aires.

Lima has both very good areas, where the cost of living is very high, and horrendous areas (most of the city, actually).

The only places I know in Latin America with a cost of living as high as Bogota are Sao Paulo and Rio. So I'm astonished to hear Buenos Aires is in that range now, since the last time I was around there the cost of living was easily half of what you see in Brazil and Colombia.

For example, an EpiPen costs $79 US ($99 AUD) in Australia.
There are really two villains here, Mylan, of course, but more importantly, the FDA. FDA regulations make the cost of bringing a new medical device to the market absurd. There are no competitors because the time and effort to bring a competing device is so ridiculously high that it doesn't pay to do so.

I have a child with a peanut allergy. I am worried every damn day of my life. I see articles about people who die every year because they didn't have an Epipen handy. The numbers of people who die will increase. I want to see FDA bureaucrats hauled to those funerals so they can see what they've done.
Jeremy Kun's blog is exceptional
We, the people of Canada, with our taxes.
No, people did not take that many photos, and they especially did not take that many pictures of their own beloved selves. If only because it was much more complicated to frame their own self with a camera than it is now with smartphones. Yes there were family pictures, yes there were friends/party pictures, but that was mostly separated from travel/tourism photos, and if consider the albums browsing and slideshow evenings at relatives and friends, pictures containing their travel partner(s) represented under 5% of the total (and were quickly skipped during browsing because they were generally uninteresting, so people were not wasting film for uninteresting views, a few partner pictures were enough to serve as a testimony purpose).

Today, I was watching a cycling race, and there was a couple, who had been waiting for the racers to arrive for several hours. Did they watch them when they came? Did they encourage them? No, nothing like that. They turned their back on the racers and made a selfie (with a tablet...) with themselves in the foreground and the racers in the background. And they almost caused an accident, as often. And it is like this all the time now.

There was a period when people would not live the event or experience the landscape/architecture and witness it through their own eye because they were too busy photographing or filming it. But now, it has been taken one step further: the event/landscape is only a background decoration for the real important subject: their high self.

And the easiness of taking photos, multiplied by the easiness of taking self pictures is also multiplied by the easiness of spreading them, which means the change in nature is also increased by the change in volume; the result is a fair amount of orders of magnitude higher than in film (or Kodak) time.
Serious accidents require both emergency treatment and follow-up treatment. Here's a scary example of getting one and not the other: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/4954303/ns/health-health_care/t/wo...

Potaka – a programming language written in Bangla
Yeah. Its an incredible amount of luck. 30-40 naked calls/puts at a time. I'd never do this myself, but time and time again I am still awed at how its worked out over the years.

Here's an example:
10 naked puts of Netflix at 95 strike that expires at the end of the week will yield 1k, with a margin req of 10k. Same with calls, thats potentially 2k earnings / week with 20k margin req (very optimal case).
If Netflix goes down, she'll short more calls or puts (I forget) that expires at the end of the week. If stock goes in the money, she closes it and opens a new position for the week after so she never exercises the options unless they are too deep in the money.

Its all very messy and very crazy, just wanted to share a story of how day trading worked out for my mum.

One of the early on-line responses was "maybe we can figure out how to 3D print these cases". It turns out that an Epi-pen is just a plastic safety housing around a normal syringe.

> Even the most niche games have so many options

This is absolutely not true. See the recent hugely successful release of Stardew Valley for just one example when you take a fairly popular genre (Harvest Moon-likes) that's completely unavailable on PC, and release a well-crafted modern game to serve that niche.

The mobile and PC games markets are flooded with shit and utter mediocrity. You do have to make something good to stand out, but that's far from impossible.

You don't have to look very far to find more under-served niches. What are some of the highest rated games on the 3DS or PS Vita? Fire Emblem, Persona 4. Anything like those titles available on PC? Nope!

There are generics. What is patented is the delivery mechanism. I've had to administer it twice. You take the cap off and just push it into the thigh. The top part moves back and the needle pushes through.
For the less-RF-literate (such as myself), can you please elaborate on the several reasons?
EpiPens were created by the US government, and have been around since the 1980s. Let's not pretend they've suddenly gotten massively more expensive to make or got a burst of unprofitable popularity in Canada.
He probably was. Why announce it to the world and give up your competitive advantage in betting markets?
Yes, it's an issue. My router cannot assign an IPv6 address to my phone if my phone can't ask for one.
That's about what it cost in the US until recently. It's a decades-old generic med, the patent on the delivery device is long expired (https://www.google.com/patents/US4031893), and the original research was even done by the US military.

hmmh... what's the reg, specifically?

what I see is an unholy alliance between the regulators and industry to extract max profits.

if you don't have an approving authority for e.g. Epipens, it seems to be that you get something like the supplements industry which is mostly marketing and exploiting the ignorant. you need some IP protection for the crazy amount of incredibly skilled R&D and massive testing that goes into an Epipen but this is ridiculous.

drug and medical device companies merge for maximum market power vs. insurers, who try to merge for maximum market power against drug companies and doctors/hospitals.

eventually you'll have just one insurer and one drug company and one hospital company and you can nationalize the whole thing.

just kidding, but I see Obamacare failing if it can't evolve, prices continuing to go up, and eventually everyone demanding a single-payer solution.
Thanks, so this is the missing information. The article misleadingly says the medication is decades-old, where actually the pen itself is patented.
Thank you for your principled approach to life. I wish we had more of you on our side!

(What is "our side?" I, similarly, have refused to work for defense industry, TLA agencies, etc, because I see them as net negatives to our society - this is the side I'm on)
This is one reason. Another reason is that a huge chunk of the population will simply not see these costs.

For instance, I choose to be on a high deductible plan at my work (they offer both a high deductible plan and a traditional PPO). My wife has the choice of a reasonably priced HMO and a extremely expensive PPO.

On my high deductible plan if I need a refill for an epipen I pay the full boat unless I'm past my deductible (or really my HSA does) on my wifes HMO plan we pay $25 every time we need one. We both have prescriptions, what is the rational decision for my family to make if we need a new epipen?

That cost differences is not "free money", it comes out of the pocket of my wife's employer and peers rather than my employer and peers. There is a dramatic agency problem in the US health system as well.

Sunspots don't cause appreciable increase in RF background at any frequency at sea level. They cause lots more excitation of the ionosphere, so shortwave radio signals bounce better and further, but nothing up in UHF.

But other phenomena correlated with sunspots do cause UHF interference, so while wrong on the details I generally believe the story.
But to their credit, they're planning on doing a comprehensive study of the RF noise floor. However, they actually have no idea how to do this, and are calling on amateur radio ops and the general public for advice. http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2016...

So, The FDA, because they require drug and device makers to demonstrate efficacy and safety by going through a rigorous clinical trial process, are evil? Really?

I also find your comment pretty uninformed considering that the FDA just paved the way for generic drug makers to basically "knock-off" super expensive biologic drugs like Humira and Enbrel which were previously covered by similar patents.

The FDA has it's problems - but to say that it is an agency staffed by people who don't care ("bureaucrats") who typically have both Ph.D and M.D.s and have dedicated their careers to ensure patients have safe and effective medicine is unfair.

edit: grammar.
The PAUSE frame is meant to be sent by a station (host) to the switch (or vice versa) as a flow control mechanism, only for that port. Assuming the switch has at least some egress buffering, it shouldn’t result in propagation away from that switch port, to say the switch’s uplink port, unless the switch finds itself completely congested. Most hosts won’t have flow control configured at layer 2, instead relying on TCP congestion control. It is only useful when you have non-TCP type traffic, for instance fibre channel over ethernet, and you want to avoid packet loss and prefer to try force buffering upstream

We got the 100k credit which is nice. Noticed the actual technical side is excellent - vastly better than azure and AWS (AWS especially - I find the whole UI and way it works so clunky).

However, despite using our credit to buy gold support when it came to using it I couldn't work their tickets UI at all. Turns out you need to change products from your Google apps support to cloud platform by some tiny link which is not at all obvious.

I had to phone up and it was obvious people hit it all the time as the operator instantly knew what the issue was.

Also related: azure by default didnt renew your free trial despite an active cc being on file. It just shuts everything off with no obvious warning. What other service does that?

Honestly think these companies need to do some proper usability testing on their flows because there is so much clunky weirdness in cloud providers right now.

Which is a problem with the electronics in your phone not the charger. All Lithium-Ion batteries need to have an on board charge management IC to guard against overcharging. The power supply is just a dumb DC supply possibly with a way to request higher currents. In the end it is the responsibility of the phone electronics to limit current into the battery. Either they failed, were poorly designed, or the battery itself failed.

Curing it with traditional chemical medicine is impossible, sure.

I think you're right in that the best place to look for a cure is the root cause. If we could modify our genetics to prevent unregulated growth, or train/augment our immune systems to better recognize cancer cells, then our bodies would be capable of preventing it all on their own since as I understand it, most types of cancer are essentially caused by your immune system failing to recognize malignant growths.

There's also researchers [1] looking into the viability of utilizing nanorobotics to fight cancer (among other diseases that are incurable or require invasive surgery) - essentially you'd inject millions of nanobots into your bloodstream, which would circulate through your body, killing any cells which grow unregulated, and then exit through your urine when you're all clear.
