Some people are dumb.

They also pay extra to buy shampoo with vitamins in it despite most of them knowing it does nothing. They just want an excuse to buy the more complex version of a banal product to exert some control over their banal lives.

In this case, the FDA can exert some back-pressure because of the significant risk to developing resistant bacteria against the soap constituents, which are needed in medical settings, so they are.

Unfortunately there isn't anything to do be done about rinsing vitamins down the shower drain. Not yet anyway.

I don't think this was reported. However there's a few points in the surrounding context that likely diminishes this as a significant detail:

1) The account belonged to a President (Bill) Clinton staffer, and not to Hillary or someone who worked at State with Hillary. Given the FBIs findings, it seems unlikely any classified information was found in their account.

2) The FBI did not identify any other successful scanning attempts on Clinton's server.
It appears that the Startup/issuer sets a static offering price [0]. When I envision how crowdsourced investing would reinvent this space, a huge component of the value added would be a degree of price-elasticity and feedback. It doesn't have to be a full-on auction, but getting the pricing right (for the issuer) seems like THE killer feature here... (thinking back to the concept of how Google priced their IPO )[1]. Offering a product that facilitated more innovative pricing structures at offering would be extremely compelling - and would greatly increase Republic.co's target market as well.

Interesting. In cycling (the road disciplines, at least), results are announced, then there is a window of time to lodge a protest. So, you do get occasional revisions after the fact (generally in bunch sprints, where somebody failed to hold their line). So, when watching on TV, it's never more than a minute or two to get preliminary results from the finish officials.

I actually rowed in high school, then a bit in college. But, we never used photo-finish equipment (at least not that I ever noticed). But, I know all about the physical state of the competitors after a race.
Fashion, mostly. Skinny jeans and thick smartphones are a problem.

Also the mentality that thinner==better being mainstream.

What boggles my mind is companies like LG, who offer phones with replaceable batteries not selling their own high-capacity batteries. Maybe they fear people will see someone with the extended battery and believe that is the regular phone?

While I do enjoy the irony of this situation and your post, the schadenfreud isn't helpful. We're all in this boat together:

When an unbridgeable gap is opening up between even the traditional "elite" (bankers, lawyers, consultants, doctors and now software engineers) and the 1% you have a real problem with social mobility.

If a country has decent access to education, it's not unreasonable to aspire to reach the "elite" with some smarts, luck and grit. That fundamental hope is what ticks over the capitalist incentivisation we have based our economics on. It's what inspired my parents to leave their home country and climb many socioeconomic rungs.

If you remove that belief in the system, people start signing out of society and then you have a big problem. Like Brexit. Like Trump.

Then suddenly war doesn't seem so impossible anymore...

That's too many. Unless you're in management, in which case it's not uncommon but still too much.

If more than 1/4 of your day is in meetings as a developer you're in WAY too many and honestly... even then if it's an average it's too much (we've all had meeting heavy days, but a rolling average shouldn't be that much)

If I had better, more unbiased ways to get information, I'd happily take them. At least endorsements are in the editorial section, so you know what you're getting. Pittsburgh has a right-leaning paper and a left-leaning paper, so if they both endorse the same candidate that's pretty telling to me.

I should said "it was" one of my favorite sites. The redesign is awful. They killed the neighbors feature which was really fun.
Is there any reason why I should have any sympathy? From my basic understanding, these companies engineer their structures and finances in weird and wonderful ways to reduce their tax bill. Fair enough, they have the global reach and luxury of doing so and some aspects legitimately occur in other tax jurisdictions.

However I have no sympathy for their complaints that it is too expensive to repatriate the money. It seems unfair to expect the law should change because you made the decision to accumulate money outside of the country to avoid paying taxes that would otherwise be due. I might be naive expecting parity but just like everyone else corporations should pay their way.

Just for my own sanity, could I get you to confirm that you'd like the browser to freak out equally on a plaintext site as one with an untrusted root? (Even without HSTS, which would make some noise for gmail in particular.)
my bad. I simply said thinking it as just another politics related news. Sorry about it. It's too late to delete it now.
What happens until the bubble pops I think is the question. To quote the OA...

"In the evenings an eerie stillness settles on [the area]. That’s because these new owners are so rich in both money and global property that their London addresses frequently sit empty, functioning more as dust-sheeted deposit boxes rather than actual homes."

This is not why we have cities. We have cities to allow interaction. Look where the artists, musicians and marginal people are going, for they are the new thing. Hint: it isn't London.

Smallish company. Between 3 and 8 hours per week. Even the low end of that ends up seeming pretty disruptive. At least I'm currently managing to avoid standups.
I mean, it will work. That is not working because you have Medicare interacting with private practice doctors.. the same problems with ACA + private health insurance offices.

If the government directly pays the Doctor a salary.. he doesn't care what the "profit" on a procedure is. In fact, base his pay on how good his outcomes are and how efficient he is.. i.e. pay him more to do better. Then we don't need to worry about some doctors not offering some procedures, because they are paid by salary and not salesmen.

Right now private practice doctors are salesmen. They are compensated MORE for selling unnecessary procedures. If the they can sneak it by the insurance? They do it.

HN is where I follow the tech news. For discussions, if we take civility as politeness and elaboration of one's points, HN is quite good. But if we take it as convivance and proper productive discussion of different, potentially opposite ideas, HN is not all that good. Here there are some certain and strong biases and dogmas, and the moderation is oligarchic. I've learnt to not post on political stuff and philosophical questions about tech, as all you get is downvotes, flags, thread-detaching and whatnot. I believe any politics post is off-topic here, and for philosophical questions on tech, if the tech is liked, sceptics are lapidated.
Geez

But there are parallels to certain human anxieties... ants falling into limbo, where certain death awaits you and the supply of poor souls never run out. If you listen closely you can hear their screams and their agony and despair from having no purpose.

OT:

I think you're wrong there.

IMO MS realized that Windows Mobile is doomed, people (especially under 20) use tablets and phones more and more instead of their desktops (the exception is work, obviously), and in the server market, they have very harsh competition from Linux. They will be in trouble in the medium term.

So the sensible thing to do is to broaden their appeal to different platforms.

A smart and sensible move. To be commended.

"HS2" is under construction which should make it more like an hour, although anyone with experience of UK trains will be skeptical. Today if you said you were commuting from Birmingham on a daily basis people would regard it as a bit extreme. There are people who commute from Barcelona, although not many.

Not if you have user-generated subdomains, or have subdomains that you don't want to advertise in subjectAltName, or simply just want the full power you used to have with HTTP to use any subdomain you want -- then you'll need a wildcard certificate, which Let's Encrypt won't offer you. Nor will any other free CA, except for CAcert, which browsers will not trust.

The absolute cheapest I've found one of those for is $95 a year. So basically, more than all of my server hosting, my domain hosting, and my domain privacy combined, all to sign my CSR that has a one-character change in it.

Of course, if you want both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com (because just *.yourdomain.com won't match the former), then that will, of course, cost extra. A lot extra.
Homicide doesn't mean murder. It simply means the killing of a person by another.

Well, revolving restaurants [0] were somewhat fashionable in the 1960s. Still, I don't think they quite compare with something made in the actual 60s (early christian era). The tech behind Nero's revolving diner was probably pretty bold at the time. But it doesn't sound so cool for someone who has motion sickness.

Am I getting this right? Apple pays 1% or less on corporate profits in the EU. An EU court decides that this is bullshit and shouldn't be that way. Tim Cook complains that they made everything up and that the below 1% tax rate is reasonable and completely legal.

Meanwhile Apple's $200 billion are sitting in Europe far away from the 35% tax rate in the US. Tim Cook says that 35% is too high to pay and says that something like 25% would be reasonable. If the US doesn't change its corporate tax rate to something lower, they won't get a single dollar from Apple.

Here's the thing I don't get, how is 25% in the US acceptable but more than 1% in Europe is considered wrong? 25% of the $200 billion would be $50 billion which is way higher than the $13 billion fine...

Am I comparing Apples to Oranges here? Or is Apple simply unwilling to pay any corporate taxes outside the US?
Not to mention, the state of Linux filesystems in general. I don't really follow that field, the last thing I remember reading is Ars Technica articles about how btrfs was going to change everything. I've been kind of wondering what happened to that!

"Civil" seems to equate with "filtered via down votes". I would prefer seeing just the number of up votes and the number of down votes which gives it a "popularity ranking" of a sort. I can then make a determination for myself if I want to read it or not. Lots of up votes, few down votes? Probably speaks to the majority opinion. Lots of down votes and few up votes? Could either be a shit post or one that goes against the grain. Two seconds of reading will tell me which. Lots of down and up votes? Probably a comment I should read, even if I'm just skimming.

I don't need the community to filter for me, I'd rather just get more information in order to choose what to read. But then I usually read any forum in as raw a format as they allow.

Where is it today? I hear Liverpool is having a bit of a renaissance.
I'm sure we can all appreciate how hard it can be to diagnose an issue in a piece of modern technology like a car or a piece of software.

A doctor's job is diagnosing (often very vaguely described) problems in a living body, a structure which is vastly more complex than any technology we've ever produced, and they can't just shut it down and take it apart either.

It shouldn't surprise anybody that many diagnoses are going to be wrong. That doesn't mean they are useless. They just have to be right often enough so that your odds of finding a beneficial treatment for your ailment improve when you seek their aid. And I think that is the case.
The example clarifies my feeling about blockchain: How would the example provided (avoiding the clearing house) work without the banks accepting something like a mining-backed crypto-currency like bitcoin?

With bitcoins, there is no possibility for dispute: bank A gives bank B the money during the transfer.

Any other scheme involves a promise (a legal contract), so you will not know for sure that bank A really had the money to give to bank B. The solutions to this are all in use today:

(1) Bank A previously gave B money (they have a correspondence account in B). So the transfer is really between accounts at bank B.

(2) Bank A gives bank B physical money.

(3) Bank A transfers money to B between accounts at some other bank (or the fed). It means A had money in the other bank to begin with.

(4) Bank B gives credit to bank A (i.e., Bank B trusts Bank A) and accepts IOUs from them. The banks could cancel out each others IOUs. The IOUs become new money. This used to be done in the old days, but the basis for trust was each bank's gold reserves.

Recreational hand soap
I'm a dev manager at a mega corp. I spend about 60 - 75% of my day in meetings.

I don't really mind the volume because when I was a developer I liked working with managers who tried to keep my calendar as open as possible and only bringing me into meetings when my opinions were needed.

I try to emulate that now I am a manager and have a sizable staff of developers. I will typically take meetings that traditionally would have included a developer or two. I will only bring them in if it's obvious their input is needed or they specially asked to be more visible to the process.

I'd say developers on my team average about 2 hours a week in scheduled meetings. There of course are times where breakouts need to happen to discuss some fine points of such and such thing but such things are part of the job too.
Probably just fewer "lawyers" and not more "common sense"

Edit: Added quotes to lawyers because I really meant destroyers of freedom
SpaceX is currently the only credible organization with a low-cost launch system of sizeable payloads capable of reaching more than a tiny fraction of the energies needed for orbit. For example, Blue Origin's vehicle is capable only of an exoatmospheric hop, which is optimistically 3% of the energy capability needed to get to orbit. Given that the rocket equation says that the floor of the the remaining costs are proportional to exp(sqrt(remaining 97% of the orbital energy)), Blue Origin amounts to a rich boy's hobby or lifestyle tourism business.

Advances in space launch technology and improvements in cost are thus concentrated in one basket, and one that is additionally weighted with electric car and solar power ventures of dubious long-term financial viability.

Sure, but it sounded like the mayor was looking out of the concerns of existing residents, not you.

His logic was backward.
The trains can be fast and effective over those sort of distances. The trouble is, they terminate at only a few points which tend not to be right in the center, meaning that then getting to where you need to be when you get off of the train takes longer.

E.g. between Stevenage (town North of London) and Kings Cross in the UK, its about 30 miles. Trains do that in 24 minutes. But to then go the final 1-to-3 miles to your central London Office might take another 25-30 minutes - the tube is good, but only if your destination is near a station, buses are slower than walking due to them stopping every 100m, and driving/taxis are obviously not an option due to gridlock.

You can walk it of course, but it will be slower than expected due to waiting to cross streets etc, plus of course it might be raining one day, or 90% humidity @ 25c the next (neither are great for getting to work in a comfortable state!).

For me, the solution appears to be get a job near the station, or perhaps buy one of those electric unicycles.

The watch makes this a good story; swimming up the Thames isn't that extraordinary. The beluga (a whale living in the Arctic) nicknamed Moby Dick that swam 300 km up the Rhine certainly bests that:

"On May 18, 1966, a few Rhine skippers near Duisburg reported a white whale in the Rhine to the water police. They reacted by first making the mariners take a blood alcohol test, which came up negative"
