> but that was a well known (and very frustrating) problem, which was a stated position of the companies in question.

And I'm pretty sure it became well known due to discussions just like this, over time. There was a ton of confusion about it at the time; I'm really not in the mood to attempt to search for 20 year old nerd-grousing, but I remember it from various Linux lists at the time.

And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if some CSR at Best Buy gave bad information about Winmodems, and people like me took the bad information at face value and then got in a discussion about it in some forum...

And the cycle of life is complete.

Powershell providers get you quite the way there, though of course only PS understands them so they're not useful for other applications.
Convergent symptomatology is a problem. Very hard to tease out what's going on when you have a group composed of people with different diseases (with same symptoms) plus perhaps a couple unusual presentations of somewhat normal diseases. The old run statistical regressions to find out what's going on fails completely.
More and more people live in dense cities where they only rent a small place in a large building. Such places make solar irrelevant. For metropolitan spaces you need power plants anyway.

Well, if you remove the latter the former actually becomes a positive thing.
If rooftop solar is profitable it doesn't matter too much who owns the house. The owner still could sell the electricity to the renters.

Non-malevolant data providers are difficult to find.

The abysmally poor monitoring, control, and cost-management options offered subscribers all feed into this directly, and dovetail nicely with a previous conversation on the morality of technology. A technology which is financed by a major vendor, and is designed to maximise that vendor's profits (or worse: an entire opposed-to-the-subscriber economic sector) will be inherently biased against subscribers.

Highly obvious data usage tracking, stop-loss financial settings, a soft degredation, the ability to specify what specific traffic, types of traffic, and/or sites are available or supported, etc., would all help this out.

As an example on the last point: I've looked at 4GL WiFi hotspot devices. None of these that I've found supports configuring a firewall or blocklist on the device itself. For some strange reason, the telecoms and advertising-oriented providers of such devices don't find it in their interest to offer such capabilities.

I am increasingly utterly disgusted with the tech world. Some fun toys, yes. But so gratuitously user-hostile.

You'd think this was part of a Wells-Fargo sales enhancement strategy.
You can't just "toss a NN to stock market data" and expect good results. There's too little historical data, you can't easily "generate" more data for the network to learn from, making it really easy to overfit. In other fields (e.g. computer vision) a lot of research has been focused on inventing techniques that prevent overfitting, thus enabling "learning" (i.e. generalization of patterns), such as dropout, convolutional neural networks, flipping/rotating images, etc. Very few of these techniques can be applied generally.

Actually, I think the studies generally show that active mutual funds do beat the market, but before fees. Their alpha, while real, is tiny and more than eaten by their fees.

Yet remember that active mutual funds manager fees are close to 1%. If you pay $60M on $900B, we're talking about paying less than 1 bp! So if you have an average active mutual fund manager running your $900B fund for $60M, you might hope to beat the market by a few basis points.
China is and will continue to be the largest consumer VR market for the near term (1-2 yrs). By 2018, will likely have ~4M HTC Vives live in cyber cafes, arcades and malls, and ~10M stand alone and mobile VR headsets across tier 1 cities. The rough math is about a $8B high end hardware market, $2B mid to low end mobile VR hardware market, and $2-$3B in software services and game revenues.

Almost all of the high quality, AAA games and apps will be produced by US/European studios for this period, for consumption largely by Chinese consumers.

I think the idea is that why trade in oil or gas, forestry or fishing, when you can trade in money? The way the global economy works being that money is not a result of other industries but an industry, a commodity, in and of itself. Money has its own industry, so just produce that instead of oil. Could that not be the long term plan?

Probably. But it still seems like many people discuss it as if it was such a "normal and everyday" thing. There are many kinds of medicine that is taken by ~1% of the population, how could people know about all of them?

Or perhaps it also only got famous in the US due to this price rise.

I’m going to elaborate here because I can’t edit my comment anymore.

I’m not arguing about whether there should or should not be regulation, but about the purpose of regulation - it’s rarely about ‘ethics’. If you look at the SEC enforcements, most of them are about fraud or about a breach of duty. Fraud - you’re not allowed to lie, that is pretty self explanatory. Breach of duty - someone else places trust in you to act in their best interests, and you violate that trust. This is broad and can be applied in variety of ways, but a duty has to be established. Other than these two and some other exceptions, you’re free to do whatever you want - and that’s to maximise your profits.

Financial regulation is not and has never been about ethics. It’s about providing a market for exchange, without fear of being lied to, or worry about your agents[0] not acting in your interests. If you’re looking for equity or want to solve problems with corporations, you need to do it somewhere else.

With Signal, there is no way to see who has received or read messages, which is especially annoying considering that they have a "mark as read" button on the notification (at least on Android).

This is terrible for group chats, because you can never tell where people are in the conversation.

Allo, Hangouts, FBM, and WhatsApp have this feature, why not Signal?

Well, the developers say it would lead to reduced overall privacy. But that's only if you make it apply to every chat by default, when they could fairly easily just make it so the user can specify if they want "read" status sent per chat.

This is restricting Signal from being used at least by my group of friends, when we are all very privacy minded. We want to use Signal, but features that are just lacking like the inability to have "read" status in groups is holding it back.
That explains the web design as well.

In terms of what might replace Flickr for image-based content, I've been watching (and using) Ello for the past couple of years. The site isn't entirely oriented around galleries of photographs, but does feature graphical content heavily (some fellow writers have griped a bit about this, though I feel only with modest justification).

One interesting feature added in the past few months was a "Buy" button -- a large green dollar sign -- which guides viewers to where they can buy a given user's works. Mostly this seems to link to other services, blogs, Amazon, Etsy, eBay, or related pages, but tying this in more tightly or providing a Flickr-type capability might be something Ello could look at.

I suspect they're familiar with Flickr's offerings, but feedback on what worked (or didn't) with that, or what Ello's missing, could be of interest.

(No stake in the company -- I use the site and pass on regular feedback, praise, and criticisms.)
Saudi Arabia significantly cut the oil price (which caused the global dip), and is since making up the difference by withdrawing from the oil fund.

Baldness receives a disproportionate amount of funding when compared to serious diseases. Why? If it's cured someone is going to make a whole ton of money. A quick Google to back up my claim yielded this article[1]. $2bn/y on hair loss, $1bn on HIV, $547m/y on malaria. Contrary to my point I do find the HIV funding interesting: further funding for HIV and an HIV vaccine (as mentioned in the article) is a dreadful route for making money. Just think of all the money that could have been made from a life-long smallpox treatment had we not eradicated it.

I'm not saying that I support that line of thinking, there's just a fair amount of evidence suggesting that this is how funding is allocated in practice.

Throwing down $3bn to "cure disease" is very different from throwing down $3bn to "cure things that are easily taken to market." I'm not sure if Zuckerberg and Chan are taking the former more philanthropic route, but all diseases do not currently receive the same amount of monetary attention.

Why the Non-9-to-5 Is the Future of Feminism
Classic case of the socialists' mindset that is rapidly getting prevalent in the valley; take from producers (employees/shareholders) and give to non-producers.

It's never ever going to be enough to appease them.

I think we agree on this, but the strategy of bargaining down to near marginal cost is dependent on the US customers paying for the fixed costs. The 'internationals' don't have to worry about doing safety studies or drug development either, so they can just take advantage of US companies doing the expensive work. For their part, the US government seems to know what they are doing too; they know they pay more for the drugs than anyone else, and do so to retain the industry.

I'd compare it to a 'tragedy of the commons' scenario where one farmer keeps paying his son to re-turf the meadow, so the boy can have a job (and thereby feeds everyone else's sheep).
it was worse than that - according to my phd cellular research ex-gf (some rare anemias), at one point there were only 5 women/females from which we all come from. this can be traced in all of our DNA.

Are you using the latest version? I can hardly see a speed difference compared to VS Code anymore, even for big projects and files. It's certainly very far from being unusably slow.

I mainly use VS Code for that reason. It does feel a bit more polished and Atom is missing some much requested features, most notably a list of open files in the sidebar (the plugins that offer this are all terrible).

$30 is way too much, production cost of EpiPen is probably in single-digit dollars, maybe even less. That's not the point, nobody thinks EpiPen costs $300 to produce.

The system it built in a very specific and deliberate way in the US - there are patented drugs that are expensive, by design, and the pharma is supposed to finance R&D and FDA testing and so on from that money, instead of financing it through taxation, or venture investing, or other means. Now, one can claim maybe Mylan is abusing the system and the money that were supposed to finance R&D are instead financing lavish salaries or whatever. And one can claim the system should not be built at all like this but should be built other way. Maybe.

But completely ignoring the whole design and saying "ah, we've discovered it costs $30!" is useless. Yes, it actually costs even less to manufacture, way less. It's obvious. The reason why Mylan charges more is not because it costs a lot to manufacture. The reason is because that's how patented drugs market in US works. If one wants to change it, it needs to be understood how it works. It's not corruption, it's the design of the system.

There are 3 epipens in this article.

The non-generic at ~$350

The generic at ~$150

And the homemade at ~$30

The homemade is equivalent to the generic and the difference between generic and non-generic is not clearly mentioned so let's talk about the price of the generic epipen.

According to the article there is difficult bureaucracy to navigate and very large liability should an epipen fail. On top of that there's distribution and offices that needs a cut or to be paid for.

Is 5x markup that horrible?
Also, I'm not entirely sure seeking to "eradicate all diseases" is a laudable goal in itself.

1. We don't understand the consequences of this.

2. Our notion of disease has changed (as a previous poster noted, think about our thoughts on homosexuality)

3. Technics used to address disease have historically had some severe unintended consequences (e.g., antimicrobial resistance)

>Sorry, I must disagree. For 70 bucks you get developers who hardly fix bugs

I've been using the beta of ST2 for years and the dev of ST3 for years after that, and have seen hardly ANY bugs. (on OS X). I use with it SublimeLinter (Python, JS, PHP), a Shell linter plugin, GoSublime, JSONFormatter, Vintageous, and a few other plugins.

>who don't listen to users (I posted a few feature requests in their site and was banned)

Maybe it was the tone that got you banned? The forum is chock-full of feature requests. I've posted some and didn't get banned. Whether they are implemented or not depends on the roadmap and their popularity/feasibility. Obviously not all will be.

>and with a crazy architecture (try and change the highlight colour of brackets in BracketHighlighter and see what I mean).

BracketHighlighter is a third party plugin, so nothing to prove some ST3's supposed "crazy architecture".

>It was great when it came out, but now Atom is better.

Atom was, is, and due to its architecture, will always be, slow. It has been slow every time I've tried it, and it's the common complaint of every Atom user whenever Atom is on HN.

May be a noob question, but if we can lay down cables for internet across the ocean floor connecting the entire world, why not lay down cables to connect all electricity grids. Half the earth always faces the sun. We shouldn't need batteries at all then, right? And we always have the traditional power stations (renewable and non-renewable) to augment the load. (At least in theory?)
sure, but concerns like that are why the epipen`cil came to be

in emergencies you are stressed and on a time constraint

if one takes the time to prepare for such an emergency by constructing the epipencil i would hope thae would follow the instructions given carefully, which notes:

7) Inspect carefully to make sure there are no air bubbles, and remove them if present.

i sent them an email requesting that they explicitly describe in the instructions and verbally describe in the video how to ensure the syringe is bubble free

Mylan didn't invent EpiPen. A guy named Sheldon Kaplan[1] working for company named Survival Technology did. He didn't get any special money from it. After a long chain of acquisions the rights to EpiPen ended up in Mylan. They have nothing to do with its invention except that they paid money to buy rights to it.
