The article states that the DEA can put any substance into schedule 1 category.

I imagine this is a likely scenario.

Its continued use could threaten all sorts of business models.
Phones are at the point desktops hit about 10 years ago, they're good enough to use for general purpose until the end of time. Everything people typically want can be done instantaneously, cameras are way better than anyone really cared about and screens are perfectly clear. The only thing stopping us from having a phone for life is forced obsolescence. All we need back is removable batteries and storage.
Right, the problem is that the generic term for what you're building is an "office suite." It's almost a cliche for these to have had "office" somewhere in the title; I know "WPS Office" is a thing in some places; I remember WordPerfect being bundled with "Borland Office" which I looked up now and apparently it's "WordPerfect Office" these days... and I have a Zoho account and I believe theirs is also called "Zoho Office." I think there was also something called "EasyOffice" once upon a time.

Apple as usual bucks the trend with iWork, and Google with Docs. There's an active KDE project called Calligra, too, and half of the academic world just uses a piecemeal built around LaTeX. Those names are different, but they don't necessarily say anything, either.

Part of the problem is that there's not a nice simple word to say "simple data-set crunching plus pretty authorship tools for both presentations and long-form documents." These are kind of three very different domains which happen to combine together into reporting information. Perhaps a nice open-source project could be named Rapport due to its community vibe and its linguistic tie to "report", but then again, that sounds like an open-source composition/looping software for anyone looking to spin a sick beat.
You'd think it would be up to the FDA to decide if something has a medical purpose and just the DEA to enforce that.

I might have actually have bought one in the first place. I don't buy any phone I can't get a replaceable, extended battery for.

I'm still rocking a Galaxy S3 with a Hyperion 7000mAh battery which easily lasts 3 days without recharging and am only looking to replace it because I got the international version, with no LTE and only 1GB of RAM. If I had gotten the South Korean version I would keep on using it until it broke.
Ah, thanks. This election cycle seems to be a singular shitstorm anyway, but the random non-election posts in between also seem to be tendentiously more right-leaning. Interesting.

Going by the coverage of the refugee crisis (more relevant to me in Austria) a while back it was looking the other way around, and I mostly stopped bothering with political subs.
Interestingly, that could have happened. Not only did LO make the effort of rebasing all their changes on top of a particular AOO release, they also were set up to incorporate all the new work from AOO into their branch. For instance, they quickly incorporated the sidebar code. Even today, one of the LO developers still goes over each AOO change, merging any worthwhile ones.

What actually happened? For some reason, development on AOO stalled. What little work still happens on it, is almost always replicating work LO already did two, three, sometimes five years ago. See it for yourself at https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=aoo/tru... : pick a commit, and look for the "Notes" field. For instance, picking "Port main/fileaccess to gbuild" I see the note "prefer: 1f9bc2b2aa8168f9c164044058b117d2a17d83ad"; that git hash is for a LO commit from 2011 (https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=aoo/...).

In the meantime, LO did a lot of cleanup work. Finishing the build system move to gbuild, cleaning warnings across all the code base, removing plenty of obsolete or unused code, running several static checkers, and more. As I noted at https://lwn.net/Articles/699108/, the recent AOO CVE was probably found and fixed on LO two years ago, as a result of running a fuzzer together with valgrind. If you wanted to pick an "upstream project" to base an office suite on today, it makes more sense to pick LO instead of AOO.

The point is that you should only use this kind of password in places where you really do not care about someone else getting access.

It doesn't really matter what it is. It matters that it's something you're not for a moment tempted to think of as a "real" password and that you would never dream of using for any account where a data leak would affect you, but merely as a "they're stupidly asking me for a password for an account I don't care about, so lets just give them this" token.

I'd lean towards agreeing with you that it's better to pick something else, but only to slightly reduce the inconvenience of someone messing with your account "just because".
Show HN: SetIdle(), for detecting when your users aren't busy
TV Manufacturers actually subsidize the cost of the TV by adding user tracking features into their smart TVs. The on by default "features" gather valuable marketing data that companies can then sell to the highest bidder. That's why all TVs these days are smart, even the super cheap ones.

The best thing you can do with a Smart TV is never connect it to the internet.
Always a bit careful when reading an article written by a researcher who is very excited about his own innovations. I take the optimism with a grain of salt.
I wish I had more documentation to back it up, but that is what I was told (and I believe ultimately it came down to somehow qualifying as "tampering"). I am a very unreliable source here, hah. At some point in the whole process I became so put off by the service that I just wanted to be done with it.

Ultimately it was the limited service options, crappy website, slow response times and bad phone support that I found appalling for such a popular product line.
I feel a sense of schadenfreude over this after Samsung decided to disregard their loyal Note series customers and put a non-removable battery in the Note 7. Terrible decision.
Ask HN: Code review tools
We've been using Gitlab's merge request resolution/code review tool for as long as I've worked here (9 months). However, it seems like Gitlab has gone and broken a good workflow: previously, a line in the diff marked with a comment would be marked resolved whenever the next commit would touch that same line on the diff. Now the line has to manually be marked--I can see validity to this, but maybe I just don't like change.

Anyway, I'm just curious of any other code review tools (which don't send our code anywhere questionable) which allow for similar functionality. Please note, we're pretty sold on the Gitlab kool-aid for now, so switching off doesn't seem viable.

Anything when made long enough will flex like that. Imagine that those blades are made of carbon fiber, resin and are designed for maximum stiffness!

Fortunately the loading of those blades is relatively constant, the majority of the load will come at a 90 degree angle to the plane of rotation, the angle at which the leading edge hits the apparent (not the real) wind. That apparent wind has a speed that is a fairly large multiple (7 or so) of the speed of the real wind and the 'flex' that you observe is almost all at right angles to that wind.

In other words: those blades are floppy in the direction where they can afford to be floppy, but extremely stiff along the axis where their main load is. If they wouldn't be the tips would lag behind the hub and they definitely do not do that in any significant amount.

Another good reason to make the blades a bit flexible in their long axis parallel to the tower is that this allows the blades to deal better with tower thump. A blade rigid in that dimension would cause a much sharper rise of the pressure wave of air trapped between the blade and the tower, and this results in a blade that will live that much longer (and a machine that runs quieter).

That is also the reason for the angle at which the nacelle is set, this creates a bit more room at the bottom where the blade flex is at its maximum, it also helps to offset wind-shear.

If you know what wordCount is, you'll know what types word and count are.

I remember back when I was still a very new programmer I somehow got the syntax for an iterator-based loop wrong ("for std::vector<int>::iterator itor = v.begin(); itor != v.end(); ++itor)"). I don't remember my mistake. I probably missed a const somewhere. The compiler told me that "std::vector<int>::iterator" did not match the type of v.begin(), but it wouldn't tell me what would match. Even as a beginning programmer, I knew the compiler knew, but all it would say was "you got it wrong."

And, of course, I didn't care what the type of v.begin() was. All I cared about was whether I could iterate over the elements of v. And I knew that v contained int's.

Many programmers learned about strong typing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_and_weak_typing ) and static typing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system#STATIC ) in languages that require manifest typing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_typing ), so they often don't realize those are three distinct ideas. You can write strongly typed programs in Haskell, Ocaml, Go and Rust without many type statements.

I would think, when the labor force participation rate is 62%, and there are 94 million out of the work force, it's pretty obvious that there is a lot of unemployment. Granted, included in that number are the elderly and retired, but that's still a lot of people.

The thing with inflation, is that its not broad-based, 1930s-fill-a-wheelbarrow-with-Deutschmarks-for-a-loaf-of-bread inflation, it's inflation in some sectors and deflation in others. Housing, education and health care are going through the roof, but groceries and consumer goods are staying about the same or getting cheaper, and gasoline and heating costs are the lowest they've been in a decade or more.
> Wages must rise

I would say that housing should be less expensive. These prices are impossible even with a good salary. You need two good salaries to buy one house and still have money for your other expenses.

The MDMA scheduling decision should have put any doubts about the role of the DEA to bed back in the 80s. For those unfamiliar with the history, MDMA was used by hundreds of therapists for treating patients in the 80s. Unfortunately it also led to abuse when people realized how fun it was and that they could legally mail order it in bulk. It led to too much bad press when teenagers overdosed, so the DEA stepped in.

The DEA held a hearing for the scheduling decision, and their argument for schedule 1 was that it had no medical value because no pharmaceutical company had applied for an FDA license for it. The judge ruled that MDMA didn't meet a single criteria for schedule 1 status, and the argument about FDA licensing was secondary to whether or not the medical community at large thought it was useful.

Despite this ruling, the DEA unilaterally made it schedule 1. They were sued by a Harvard psychiatrist, and the DEA lost again, with the court ruling that the drug only met the standard for schedule 3. Again, the DEA summarily dismissed the court's ruling and rescheduled it as schedule 1.

The crux of the issue that this whole process danced around was that MDMA's patent had expired, and no pharmaceutical company was going to take on the FDA costs to make a drug that was dirt cheap, easy to manufacture, and should only be used at most five times throughout a patient's life. Especially when the alternatives (Prozac and SSRIs) were making a billion dollars plus annually.

Veterans in the US have a nickname for PTSD: Paid Till Suicide or Death. Right now drug companies are treating the VA as a huge cash cow and are dumping vast quantities of opiates and in-patent SSRIs on it, when there is a far more effective treatment that is extremely cheap. It's a multi billion dollar scam that's killing people, and the DEA is purposefully helping them maintain this charade.

It doesn't help much if they're doing it with proper disclosure, if buyers have no realistic alternative because everyone is doing it.

I used to love Sendgrid but they seem to be slowing down development these days. Their interface hasn't changed much in the past few years and their Python libs/docs are ok but not great.

If I were sending lots of email like I used to I would consider SES but for the small volumes I'm doing now it seems like Sendgrid and Mailgun are good enough. Postmark.app gets some positive reviews in the comments so maybe people should give them a shot.

Indeed - as Krugman keeps going on about, there's little risk of "classical" inflation. What there is is a lot of complaining from the rentier class (and some of the better off pensioners) that they can't make 4% for doing nothing any more.
Agreed. I'm surprised they thrashed for so long. My current smartphone is glued together, and there are all kinds of cabling gymnastics behind the screen that make repair tricky.

> Didi could have let Uber die by itself and get the totality of the Chinese market on its own without sacrificing anything.

The very point of the deal was because both companies were hemorrhaging their investors' money, and neither wanted to sacrifice any more. If that's what the regulators are investigating, then they're doing their job. Two companies collaborating to stop losing money is pretty close to the definitely of a cartel.

This keeps getting framed as a China vs the World thing, as so many things Chinese do, but what really happened here is that two companies, backed by a set of the largest multinational investors in the world, are collaborating to screw the consumer, who this time is the average Chinese user of Didi or Uber.
Re iPod:

It was the 2000s, 2005 was the settlement date, iPods didn't exist in the 1990s. They didn't lose, strictly speaking, they settled (which is not the same as admitting fault). Settling lets them save face, even if they may not have had a liability, by not dragging their name through the muck with regards to the poor performance of the batteries and iPods.
I'll never buy Samsung again after owning Note 2. Memory failed after 2 and a bit years. I found out it was a known issue. I had bought it with the intention of using it 4-5 years. When spending that kind of money I'd expect only the best components. The fact that they used poor ones in their flagship product doesn't speak well for them.

2) There's already a refined clinical version of it in the works.

The cynical part of me also assumes that the clinical version will take the harmless natural version and refine it into a super addictive monster that will reliably kill elephants when slightly mis-dosed. Everyone will then abuse this as usual.

> Creating a family in the current society, is almost impossible, two incomes is necessary

No, it's really not. If one wants to live a 1950s-style life (e.g. a single car, no cable, no Internet, entertainment mostly playing outdoor sports, squeezing an entire family into under 800 square feet, eating mostly canned foods, children going to public school, each member of the family only owning a few changes of clothes) then one can manage to support a family on a single income.

But if one wants to have a modern lifestyle, with a big house, a bathroom for each member of the family, eating out, electronic entertainments, big closets &c. — then yeah, it'll cost a lot.
