> Why would you want to transport your dog inside the city?

My office has an open dog policy, but I almost never see dogs in the office, and when I do, they're inevitably small (the kinds you can hold on the subway). Meanwhile, on the Mountain View campus, dogs everywhere. You need a car to bring your dog to work with you.
API docs link is a 404. But I'm looking to try this. Have you worked around with any of the audio playback changes (onlick vs. ontouchend vs onmouseup) in iOS 9/10? I'm curious what "audio unlock" on iOS means.
Wow, didn't see this coming. Thanks for sharing, hopefully GoDaddy doesn't go mess up anything inside of ManageWP.

Congrats to the ManageWP team.
That's awesome, and I'm glad to hear it. For me, it was first taught in after-school clubs (bicycle club!). I can't thank the local bike shop enough for pointing me in the right direction.

As an adult, I joined a lot of social circles that centered around having fun, and riding bikes. I also got into things like Critical Mass, and the local bike messenger racing scene. It felt like we were all helping each other to survive out there. A lot has changed in 10 years, and I'm very grateful for that. Just having a public bike sharing program present and very easy to access has really changed people's perceptions.
That's why you, as the person delivering the news, sit down. It invites the family member to sit down without the awkward "Why don't you sit down..."
I was a RF engineer two years ago, and now I am doing software development. I think I kind of resonate with many of the above comments. While I was doing RF design, I spend a lot of time on CAD tools(I agree many of them are overpriced), after I got my design from the fabs or manufactures, I spend most of my time on lab to validate/optimize my designs, due to that fact that some unforeseeable fab/manufacture processes variation that are not captured by the CAD tools. thing I feel very gratifying was if you utilize the right framework/methods that are reason upon physics, the performance of the design most likely will mach to what you predicted, and that allow you to design something reach/surpass some industry benchmarks

True, but it's what's called for in what shouldn't be a marketplace: healthcare
It's worth noting that the "generic" got pulled, but there have subsequently been several attempts to bring competitive products to the market to compete with api-pens. It's not like they have a natural monopoly. The thing that is keeping competition out of the market is the FDA. This is a product that is not exactly at the cutting edge of science so either all the competition is really incompetent (I find that doubtful) or the FDA is basically creating an artificial monopoly by keeping competition out.

In my opinion, most cases where you see one company able to charge outsized prices for their products, if you scratch the surface you'll find a government created monopoly, or near monopoly (wireless spectrum is an example of this) or regulation created situation that protects one company from competition.

At the very least you will not find a free market. Because in a free market, people will compete if anyone gives them even a small pricing umbrella. Even for things that require very highly refined manufacturing techniques, like drugs and electronics. Look at the cellphone market, nothing is more precisely built than a smart phone yet we have huge numbers of them in a wide variety at low cost, because the market is mostly unregulated.
I don't know a lot about the topic, how well do the current autonomous vehicles handle roads not currently on GPS , I.e private drives and such.

I now understand it can handle the terrain, thanks for the explanation that is pretty neat they could do it thirty years ago, just curious when I tell it to go to a house in the middle of a 20 acre property with multiple private roads, and I use the term road lightly, if it is actively going to search for a path or if it will have to have manual intervention.

I have seen google cars handle well mapped streets, just curious.
>> then why hasn't Fox News brought it up?

They've been on it since the 23rd and have reported on it nearly every day:

Right, and on iOS, it just leaves the browser and opens the video recording app.

Unless something has changed, getUserMedia still doesn't work on Chrome/Android or iOS/Safari yet.
I've done some googling before asking here: Can anybody explain why Linode is so often targeted like this? We moved Cronitor off Linode in spring 2015. During the christmas holiday when they suffered a 2 week DDOS I thought of the family time I'd be missing that year as we did a crash migration to AWS had we not migrated when we did. I have to imagine this has been horrible for their business.

I would use Linode if I needed to lease computational power, because it is still a great value vs AWS, but I could not run a high availability service there. It would feel like professional malpractice at this point.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a jewish nationalist. George Soros is a jewish globalist.

There are two survival strategies for groups of people. The first is to live in an ethno-state where only your own people are favored. Examples of this strategy are self-evident. The second is to rule over another group of people as an ethnic minority. The Normans in England are an example of this. They maintained a distinct racial identity for centuries. They were of 'noble blood' ie: a genetically distinct ruling class. (Also the Brahmin in India) If you can't rule, then you will advocate liberal and tolerant treatment of your group, at least as long as you are a minority. For example, many muslims in America bitterly criticize when they are discriminated against because of their chosen religion (islamiphobia), while at the same time want to throw people in jail for criticizing Muhammad. Clearly many muslim majority countries are not tolerant of non-muslims (christianity is often illegal), but they demand tolerance when living in the west as minorities.

Nationalism and globalism respectively happen to be two methods of promoting and justifying these long-term strategies. I'm not making a judgement, just an observation.

Today, globalism is being most successfully pushed not by any ethnic group, but by multi-national corporations who just want to increase short-term profits without caring how demographic changes will affect long-term stability and productivity.

So globalist does not mean jewish.
Any potential profit must be balanced against the highly political question of whether the fix (assuming one was needed) would get thru the FDA, and at what cost, how many bribes, or more politically correctly put, campaign contributions would be needed and whether even doing so would be sufficient to make it onto the market with a revised version.

It's not like these decisions are being made purely on a scientific basis.
Exactly. If you decimate pharma companies' profits, you kill their incentive to innovate. You can't have it both ways.
Online universities take cash?
Your argument is kinda like pouring brown paint into a can of white paint, pointing to its tan color and then saying that white paint is a fantasy.

Yes there are various degrees of purity in capitalism across the world and one of the interestingly consistent things across history is that prosperity follows relative economic freedom, even if there is no purely free economy.

Great post, I had no idea they existed.
Which countries have open-source laws on the books?
I have just as many problems with an overly restrictive FDA as the next free market guy, but there isn't really a lot of evidence that the issues are due to political corruption.

In reality the FDA is too conservative due to the incentive structure: people getting hurt from a drug approved too fast are very visible. People that get hurt due to a drug being approved too slowly are not. This is the core issue.
I think you need to reread my comment and the OP's. We're talking about reporting the pharma ties among the Democrats.
Let the NIH and DARPA innovate and be done with the sham for-profit pharma is.
Thanks for your feedback!

It's only an experiment right now, so it's not built for anything specific at this point. There are some interesting ways to take it, but I wanted to see how it was used first. As you suggest, the ability to a further curate through the website would be great. One idea is some kind of stock photography site with users receiving a cut?

The frontend definitely needs polish and some architecture upgrades, as you pointed out. I wanted to see if anyone actually used it before putting more time in, but the feedback today has been encouraging.

As for anonymity, it's anonymous between users, but some basic Twilio data (phone number, city, state) is stored with your user account on my end.

As for attacks, Twilio provides some high level security, but beyond that I'm sure I could easily be hosed if someone were inclined. It's a hobby project, so the resources would fail pretty quickly under a sustained attack, and what fun is that?

Thanks for taking a look and the time to provide your thoughts.
OK, who hosts at Linode and is very popular/pisses people off? 4chan? 9gag? Reddit? Something Awful?
That kind of goes back to having one file per size, in terms of space. Although it's more flexible and might be easier to maintain.
I think 9gag used to be on linode? I'm pretty sure none of the rest are though.
There's already an FDA-approved, tried-and-tested method for delivering epinephrine: the one that Mylar has a patent on.

It's stupid to force competitors to invent a completely different method to do the same thing, and then have them try to get it through FDA approval, just because Mylar is unwilling to license the patent to competitors at a reasonable rate.

The fact that a company can just flat-out stop an idea from being implemented by anyone else for 20 years is insanity. There needs to be a mechanism that incentivises patents being licensed, rather than withheld and used as an anti-competitive bludgeons. Something like a means of finding a reasonable value for a patent (hopefully via some market mechanism) that takes into account the cost of invention, and then requiring the patent be licensed for that amount to anyone.

If you look at the situation with Microsoft and Android, it's crystal clear: the patents in question are pathetic, and yet they're being used to extort billions of dollars. It's such a massive distortion, and leads to huge duplication of effort and wasteful incompatibilities, and in this case lives at risk.
I've come to hate fentanyl... In the past couple years it has become significantly more widespread, and in the completely insidious way you describe. People think they're buying heroin (or worse, cocaine, at least if they're a heroin user, they have some tolerance to opioids), and it's laced (or completely replaced) with fentanyl.

I'm a paramedic in a nice suburban area. I've been doing this a little over a decade now. I managed to make it a good long while without having to deliver life changing news to a parent. In the past two years I've done it way too many times.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have witnessed your pain in others, and I know that it's beyond my comprehension...

>Should we be socialists or capitalists? Is one system better than the other? What does it mean for an economic system to be "better" than another anyway? On the basis of philosophical arguments regarding these questions, people have been inspired to violently murder those who they see as perpetuating injustice. Surely, then, these arguments are not just "abstract" and "without content".

Most socialists viciously reject all association with the kind of nonmaterialist, non-scientific, ahistorical kind of philosophy you're trying to justify here. We use "metaphysics" as an insult and "liberal metaphysics" especially to sneer at our opponents for trying to draw moral justification from a kind of Platonic realm of Forms rather than from the material needs of human beings.

I'm sure you have some thoughts to add in response, but my point is that socialism itself, as usually taught, is not a very good example to make your point with.
> The company, based in the Netherlands but managed from Canonsburg, Pa., outside Pittsburgh, has grown from a sleepy generic maker to a global player with $9.4 billion in revenue last year. Pay has grown, too. Ms. Bresch, the CEO, earned $18.9 million last year, up from $9 million in 2013. [...] Ms. Bresch was found to have wrongly claimed to have an M.B.A. degree from West Virginia University.

A company based in Netherlands, managed from Pittsburgh, by a person who lied about their credentials, is now modulating the rate of asthma deaths from anaphylaxis of American children. Yap. As Hunter S. Thomson said, "in a democracy you have to be a player". She is a good player...

Yet anyone dare mention nationalized medicine or price controls and that is met with pejoratives like socialism, anti-Americanism, and anti free market. "But you can't do that! You'll upset the free market Gods".

Somehow we manage to keep spending trillions on things like F-35, we manage to build tanks nobody needs (http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/01/28/pentagon-tells...), send billions in foreign military aid to countries in the ME (Israel $3B+ and Egypt $1B). Yet anyone dare suggesting price controls for EpiPens -- and oh no, socialism will kill us all.
The NIH and DARPA are more than welcome to compete with the pharmas and offer lower prices. This is exactly how capitalism works.
There is a competitor. Adrenaclick is not a perfect substitute for Epipen, but it is an auto-injector and delivers the same drug.

There are also companies making generics for Adrenaclick, they cost ~$140.
In what way do you disagree?
The article is just a reporting of a debate sparked by a native Chinese archaelogist's published theory. This seems like a weak attempt to smear them as Orientalist commentators. The article covered previous evolutions of origin theories and how nationalism and politics often get involved. Overall the article looks like a straightforward reporting of the context of this research.

I'm not saying the mirror stage is the explanation, formative experiences more generally in childhood might be a reason you see 'mirror neuron' networks. A feral child can't learn language after a certain point, and hypothetically I would imagine he would not show a 'mirror neuron' network (or sense of self awareness).

Either way, I think the author needs to address correlation vs. causation before assuming the latter.
Australia hasn't eliminated all guns. In fact, the number of guns owned legally by Australians now exceeds the number pre-Port Arthur.

> Common fucking sense.

No, it isn't, and this is one of the problems when the "general public" comments on engineering things. It's not that people aren't capable of understanding; they lack the experience to understand why something is the way it is.

Someone on /r/seattle[0], where this was recently posted, put it more politely than I:

===

It's because that extra two feet can be valuable when carrying oversized loads. Frankly, this all falls on the driver of the oversized vehicle, the driver of the pilot car, and the hauling company.

- The driver of the oversize vehicle is responsible for knowing his load height. A hauler I've worked with before has it in their manuals that the driver must personally measure the load if there is any question. That driver must also stay far enough back of the pilot car to stop in case of a problem.

- The driver of the pilot car fucked up royally by missing the sound of the height-verification antenna hitting the bridge. That is a massive error that should see that pilot car driver drummed out of the industry.

- The hauling company erred drastically by not pre-running the route, or at least the low clearance segments, to verify where the clearance exists. That is "oversize hauling 101."

The article says the state "rubber stamped" an oversize permit. No, they didn't. The hauler certified that the hauler had pre-run the route. It is required that the hauler state that the route has been verified when the permit is issued.

"It is the responsibility of the permit applicant to check, or prerun, the proposed route and provide for safe maneuvers around the obstruction or detours as necessary."

Have a look at https://craftcms.com I have used it a couple of time. What I really like about it is you have complete control of what gets to edit/add. And interface for the client is as simple or complex as needed.
In Adam Smith's wealth of nations he talks about division of labor and how it makes people "as stupid as a creature can be". I would argue the work a farmer and people in tribal societies do is more intellectually stimulating and varied than in the modern world. Unless for a select few engineering jobs, we mostly damn people to do the same narrow set of tasks every day.

Also about the gov bit. I was talking to the larger HN readers than just you. Sounds like you know exactly what I am talking about.
...coming from the woman who became famous from posing nude and creating a sex (porn) tape.

Calling all porn viewers "losers" is wrong; is this the correct label for those who suffer from a porn addiction?

What about the couple who watches porn to enhance their sex lives? Are all viagra users and sex toy users losers also?

I'm all for regulating the porn industry but I cannot take her campaign seriously.
I used to write physics engines for animation, back in the 1990s when nobody had one that worked right. That required reading books on nonlinear differential equations and getting consulting from experts at Stanford. I had to learn about quaternions. I had more of a classical computer science education - number theory, mathematical logic, combinatorics, proof of correctness - but not enough number crunching.

Before that, I'd worked on automatic theorem proving and proof of correctness. I still like Boyer-Moore theory. I recently revived the old 1970s-1992 Boyer-Moore theorem prover and put a working version on Github. It's fun to run that again; it's a thousand times faster than it was in the early 1980s.

If you do anything serious with graphics, you need to understand 4x4 matrix transformations throughly. I have the whole shelf of Graphics Gems books, and they're mostly math. At one point I rewrote many of the C code in C++, and got
rid of their start-at-one arrays. (The original was Graphics Gems in FORTRAN,
and the C version used a horrible hack to make arrays start at 1.)

I didn't know enough filter theory when we were doing the DARPA Grand Challenge. We had a lot of trouble integrating the GPS and AHRS data into a good position and orientation. We had about 3 degrees of heading noise, which kept messing up the map-making function. We really need 3D SLAM, but didn't know how.

Now I need more math to understand machine learning.

I'm also looking at designing a specialized switching power supply for the antique Teletypes I restore. You can get enough energy from a USB port to drive the big selector magnet if you use and store it properly. Fortunately I can get LTSpice to do most of the number crunching.

I think I've used all the math I was ever taught. And I'm not really into math.
To clarify even more: that length is the number of bytes (or UTF-8 code units) in the string. It doesn't corresponding to the number of characters (which one may either consider to be Unicode codepoints, or more technically correct, Unicode grapheme clusters).

If you want to count the number of codepoints in a string (called "rune" in Go), then you need to do so explicitly: https://golang.org/pkg/unicode/utf8/#RuneCountInString

Federal Reserve "audits" omit everything interesting.

I want an audit with teeth, that audits the things that Americans should be interested in: the activities of their central bank and their motivations. I want an audit that doesn't require the explicit permission of the subject of the audit.

In 2010, Ron Paul introduced a bill with simple text. In part:

Subsection (b) of section 714 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by striking all after “shall audit an agency” and inserting a period.

The area of law that would be modified by his bill:

(b) Under regulations of the Comptroller General, the Comptroller General shall audit an agency, but may carry out an onsite examination of an open insured bank or bank holding company only if the appropriate agency has consented in writing. Audits of the Board and Federal reserve banks may not include-
(1) transactions for or with a foreign central bank, government of a foreign country, or nonprivate international financing organization;
(2) deliberations, decisions, or actions on monetary policy matters, including discount window operations, reserves of member banks, securities credit, interest on deposits, and open market operations;
(3) transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee; or
(4) a part of a discussion or communication among or between members of the Board and officers and employees of the Federal Reserve System related to clauses (1)–(3) of this subsection.
