As a surgeon who is 48, I will say that on my transplant rotation ( I am not a transplant surgeon ) the theory of the safety of donation was in the Vietnam War era data that said that soldiers who lost a kidney from injury were at no increased risk of renal failure as the general public given similar risk factors. I know that if you have hypertension or diabetes, it is near impossible to donate a kidney as they have a high propensity to develop renal failure. I have not researched the literature about the war data, but that is what I was told.

Physical fitness surely? Isn't 18 or 19 around the physical fitness peak? I'm guessing that people are on average are significantly stronger and more robust at 18 than they are at 28. I think the British Army has 26 as the limit for joining in the first place for officers at least.

Also people are married by 28. At 18 they're generally single and more able to deploy.
Understanding the rate and nature of bad reviews provides much better signal than high-star reviews.

You will get a lot of garbage in 1-star reviews but I find you also find information about expected uses of the product that don't work, or other types of important feedback (for example, I was looking for a "bluetooth splitter" a while back and lots of 5-star reviews said that the product worked as advertise, but some percentage of 1-star reviews stated that several of the products added a few hundred milliseconds of latency to the audio). I also use the percentage of low-star reviews between similar frequently reviewed items (for example, coffee makers with hundreds of reviews each) to approximate design defects, manufacturing defect rate and/or ease of use issues.

I also wrote my first SPA in Aurelia this year. As an introduction to the Javascript world, it has been pretty good (though I would never use JSPM again). Bugs are fixed in a timely fashion, the developers are responsive, and overall my developer experience has been positive.

I (not OP) am in the Vine program that they mention in the article. I admit that it puts me in sort of an odd position to be trying to write an unbiased review of something that I got for free, but I always do my best to mention in my review whether I feel like I would have paid the cost of the item, all other things being equal. For me, the most difficult part of the review is that we're on the hook to review the product within 30 days of receipt - in some cases, that's not enough time to really get a sense of how well the product holds up.
Much the other way around. Netcat is ubiquitous. I haven't come across many systems with ftpput and ftpget.

Neat challenge left as an exercise to the reader: whois can be used to transfer files too. :)
How could they guarantee that? What if you need to call that right in and they can't find anyone compatible?
Essentially that's what Agent Smith does in the Matrix sequels. He can't "escape" the Matrix, but he can basically make it his own. (For the purposes of this analogy I'm intentionally ignoring the ridiculous scene where he somehow transfers himself to the physical world.)

Interesting to consider: if we ever discovered ourselves to be living in a simulation and attempted to do something about it, would the simulator simply reset the simulation (a la The Matrix trilogy)? Or would the simulator be intrigued by our self-awareness and allow the simulation to continue?

But anyhow, that's enough of a digression for one day.

I know religion is not something one is supposed to write about on HN, but this is a personal help issue and not a technical/social discussion, so I hope I will be forgiven.

But seriously: my advice to you is to find a pastor/cleric you can trust and talk to him about your situation (many are in fact trained grief counselors). I too lost a good friend some years back, and my faith and my relationship to God were really what brought me through the time of mourning. Please at least consider it.

Not as distant as you'd think. I could actually see it being that the recipient is close enough you'll get information regularly about the person (i.e. small events that happen), rather than a complete stranger who you'd hear from only occasionally if at all.

I also wonder how much pressure he was under to help because of the match, and how much he felt that he'd be disappointing the people around him if he didn't. I know as a kid that kind of pressure would have weighed on me heavily and has lead me to have some regrets about my past (though nothing nearly this large).
Good. My highest up-voted comment ever on HN was specifically about this problem. Clearly something that resonates as a problem with their customers:

Amazon provides the phone number for all orders. It's whatever phone number you have listed on your account, or saved on one of your delivery addresses.

Sellers are supposed to use them to fix order-related problems, and can be helpful for the case when a customer does not respond to emails (such as when you've provided an invalid delivery address).
Yeah, because we were so concerned about international opinion that one time...

If you found out through gdb that your code compiled with -O0 was still somehow optimized by gcc, or if you found out that your gcc did not optimize your code aggressively enough although you gave it -Ofast, check out this issue [0].

[0] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18995

Yeah. The devs believed it was okay to make gcc -O2 by default and impossible to override from the command line you gave to gcc.

If you encountered this issue I hope google could quickly bring you to that issue on github. Good luck and don't waste hours to figure out why.
I think Jikes RVM needed some kind of bytecode interpreter to build itself, but I don't think it would need to be very advanced. Slow would also be OK since the part getting compiled was not terribly big. Don't know if it could help in any practical way, but it's a fun piece of technology!
Seems to make sense that while attempting to start a venture knowing there's a significant risk of failure, one might want to have a separate stable income stream.
Yup, we are big fans of Hapi.js and that's what we use internally for walmart.com, but one of our goals in October is to disconnect the tieing of Electrode and Hapi.js - that way you can use whatever web framework you want with Electrode. Internally, we will continue to use Hapi though.

I've been in the Vine program that they mention in the article for several years - I can tell you that, seriously, honestly, no kidding, there are no repercussions for posting a negative review of a free Vine product. I've posted scathing reviews of terrible (but free) products, wondering if I'd be mysteriously "removed" from the Vine program for doing so, and never gotten so much as a question about them.

I suspect that we didn't get enough Ember responders, because I do think they have a reasonable sized community. 9k responses is likely not enough to draw a reasonable conclusion that it isn't popular. I wish we could have paired up npm downloads or some other stat besides some of this data...
While there is a short fall of viable organs for donation, the issue the author raises here is one of long term risk.

This is what gets brushed aside when the organ donation process is activated. Only now do we have results from long term study of donors and some of them as pointed out by the author are not good at all.

This problem is not confined to kidney donations for instance, is a growing body of evidence that points to long term complications from another medical procedure - laser surgery (lasix). Here many patients suffer degenerative vitreo-reinal changes over time (if you can, avoid it).

It is not actually the case that donors do not benefit from the current process. Outside the US in the largest market for kidney surgeries India, they are paid; as well as in the Thailand and the middle east.
End stage renal disease is one of the worst conditions to die from, and everyone involved with an afflicted patient is desperate for a solution since they suffer almost as much as him/her.

So,No. Paying for organs will not solve this particular problem. But neither will doing nothing.
One solution that can improve the number of donor organs is to make it mandatory that organs from qualified people who die violent or accidental deaths be immediately considered for transplant to those who need them. But you can guess this proposal would be (illogically imo) opposed in many countries.

Edit: On a related note, I have been mulling over an idea for a while for a startup to reduce the cost of dialysis for patients with renal disease. At present, it is prohibitively expensive and some patients require 2 sessions a week. If anyone is interested in joining me, reach out. My email address is in my profile.
The target is pretty clearly wireless. We are reaching a point in WLAN tech where a 1Gbit uplink is starting to become a bottleneck (especially if an AP is creating multiple networks, or one cable serves multiple APs, but in theory a single 11ac network can do >1Gb/s).

APs commonly use PoE, might be in locations where there is no external power available and are connected with lots of individual cabling in often awkward spaces.

That's probably why people are so confused. They might not be an exact comparison, but you use them both for the same purpose, building responsive, data-driven websites.

Here's my point.

(1) is only possible if your data provides access to the biasing variable, perhaps via redundant encoding. This is the standard critique folks make.

As per (1), the biasing variable is available. Now if the algorithm is expressive enough to describe the functional form of the bias (e.g. the bias is quadratic, and the model includes quadratic terms), it will fix that bias.

You're right that there are lots of hidden variables that we can't use in a predictor. Murderous intent and mafia membership are also not available as predictive factors. You could build a more accurate model if you had that data. So what?

That might work if you're building a product but most businesses require active selling, talking to clients, building relationships, etc which are generally done during conventional hours.
I hope you like it! I personally think that the above the fold content, server side caching, and redux-router-engine will make a positive impact on the server side rendering react community. We saw HUGE gains in performance using these.

There's kidneys, just not for you if you're at the bottom of the list.

Compare to kidney exchange (http://transplants.ucla.edu/site.cfm?id=112): if your friend or spouse needs one, but you're incompatible, you can find another pair who has the inverse compatibility problem and swap with them. Or more, and form a chain (e.g. this 35-kidney chain: http://abc27.com/2015/03/30/paired-exchange-record-70-people...).

What I was referring to is Good Samaritan donation:

Many Good Samaritan donors choose to start chains because it is a way to help more than one person suffering from kidney failure. One chain typically facilitates anywhere from 2 to 30 transplants. The NKR pays for donation insurance for all Good Samaritan donor who start chains through NKR.

Back-end engineers | Alar Software | Chicago, IL | Full-Time ONSITE | 80K + & options based on experience, paid parking, stocked kitchen & doggy (doggy not edible)

Please email resumes to hiring@alar.net

We’re aiming to aggregate logistics data to enable customers to operate more efficiently and connect them with other logistics companies. We believe we’re on to something big, but to get there we’re working through end-to-end complex problems in a complex and old-fashioned domain. We’re taking an unconventional approach (event sourcing with a twist and a touch of farmville) and dealing with big data to boot.

Because of this complexity, we're limiting our search to two kinds of people: experienced engineers who can bring structure to the chaos as we grow, or those applicants who can make up for lack of experience with passion and creativity. Please don't apply unless you can demonstrate one of these somehow.

Back-end stack: Migrating from C# to Scala. Also a bit of postgres, some simple mongo for non-critical functions, and ASP.NET.
If you have bash, you can even partially get by without netcat as well. Bash has the wonderful "fake" devicenodes, /dev/tcp/host/port and /dev/udp/host/port.

5. The quality of organs goes down.

This. And what everyone else is pretty much saying. If you only read tech blogs you'd probably think the only companies in existence are Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, etc. The world is big and you can have an impact in places that will probably never get press, because they aren't sexy enough. Take healthcare, Google keeps trying to break into that industry, and kinda failing miserably. Partially because the problems in that industry are more related to regulations and people, stuff that machine learning isn't going to solve anytime soon.
I think the problem is best seen by considering the statement "You don't care who subscribes to your events." This is great when you are literally doing something only on one end of the event creation barrier. This makes sense when creating something takes a lot of effort.

However, for many many shops, this is an abstraction they will never get to. They care intimately about who will subscribe to the events they publish, because they are planning on doing something as the primary subscriber.
