> Donations are often used as a way to make others ‘pay up.’ By giving the pneumonia vaccine away for free, pharmaceutical corporations can use this as justification for why prices remain high for others, including other humanitarian organizations and developing countries that also can’t afford the vaccine.

> Countries, which continue to voice their frustration at being unable to afford new and costly vaccines such as PCV, need lower prices as well to protect children’s health.

Medicine and the pharmaceutical industry must strike a balance between the increase in innovation only healthy competition can bring (the promise of capitalism) and the public utility of their discoveries.

When that doesn't happen governments sometimes are forced to step in and take harsh measures. It happened in Brazil in the first years of the XXI century, when the government forced compulsory licensing of anti-HIV drug patents [1] so it could produce it cheaply on their own laboratories.

To make the battery replaceable while still providing the same amount of energy would require a thicker case around the battery, thicker contacts, and a discrete accessible compartment in the phone. All of this adds up to a much bigger phone. The days of replaceable batteries are over.

Does Custom-Coded Data Integration Stack Up to Tools?
I see the iPhone 7 as a competitor to the Galaxy S7 (quite a nice phone by the way). The Note range has always been more of a "phablet" than Samsung's flagship line.

It is, however, surprising that they didn't get it right.

Li-ion batteries are seemingly trickier than we consumers assume. Apple had a bit of bad press with the iPhone 4 when batteries starting exploding as well. I thought the industry would have worked it out since then, but according to many of the other comments in this (and other related) threads, Li-ion batteries are still an area of considerable research.
The problem with the Boston thing is that RS put them on the cover -- essentially giving them one of the most honored spots in music. That's what people were mad about -- elevating monsters and putting them at the same level as you might Bono.

It's not just the correct way on windows, it's the correct way on macOS, and any other file system with resource forks or extensible file metadata.

However file metadata is usually pretty poorly understood by most developers (based on a personal sample of my past experiences) and file system resource forks are even less understood...

Ask HN: Consider banning paywalled articles like those from wsj.com please
I can't read the paywalled articles on wsj.com anymore. So it's breaking my web experience of reading HN.

The first post on the page is mostly a TLDR or a link to an alternative article instead of a real comment. For example the current #1 post : Samsung to Permanently Discontinue Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone (wsj.com) - https://gyazo.com/440858bfcc2f94d912a087ca2ef7ce26

There will always be a discussion about paywalled articles and or alternative sources, which takes the discussion away from the topic and there is a high chance that this will be a top comment ( because of upvotes).

The current #1 link and #7 link are currently unusable to me : https://gyazo.com/578b105ce67f9b6d14cefe0dfeb43efb

The trick with bypassing it through the web doesn't work for me anymore ( and multiple others). This was good in the past, but not anymore.

An alternative like automaticly hiding articles from wsj.com would be nice, but i think it's more effectively to just ban the domain? Because it has no use for many HN-readers.

Suggested alternative: Add (paywall) automaticly to the link

Please discuss or give your opinion?

As the OP noted, people die at a higher rate when you switch to shorter shifts because information loss during shift change causes more mistakes than tired physicians.

In many hospitals doctors are paid hourly, so shorter shifts wouldn't cost the hospital money.

This is pretty misleading as a comparison, yes you can learn React itself very shortly, but the ecosystem around it will probably bring you much closer to Angular learning times, and that's also without the AngularJS documentation which is top notch.

I prefer React to AngularJS but I don't think it's fair to tell half the story when comparing them.
Yet by not banning WSJ, maybe HN is making people annoyed at WSJ, damaging their brand, driving traffic to competitors, and teaching people to just rely on peer provided TLDRs instead of journalists, all of which might hurt WSJ more than just banning them... I guess we'll never know :)

There's nothing wrong with recognizing people per se. It doesn't need to be a "biggest X of the year" award, either - just calling someone up because they've just finished a 6-month project successfully is a fine thing to do in an all-hands. In a big enough company it's worth it just so people know what other orgs are doing.

My point was just that it can be tedious/demoralizing for people who aren't eligible to be called up.
More like the defenestration of whoever was daft enough to suggest singing.

Probably, but in reality it's either used as an opportunity for upper management to pat themselves on the back in front of all the employees, or to ask everyone to "walk the extra mile" (for the nth time) because business is going awry.

Sorry, updated with a better link from Samsung directly.
> The Note range has always been more of a "phablet" than Samsung's flagship line.

It's been the power-user line, the most full-featured variant, often more expensive than the Galaxy proper. "Flagship" is a loose term - they probably marketed the Galaxy proper more heavily, but the Note was their top-of-the-range phone, at least for a certain demographic.
Obviously not true; a quick search shows the two options the op mentioned, Jekyll [0] and Pelican [1] have plugins.

I'm familiar with Pelican. Apart from writing plugins (with excellent signals to hook into), you can replace the main class with a custom class and get basically any behaviour you want.

Thanks. This seems to provide everything except using a custom domain. The site says it doesn't allow custom domains for privacy reasons to avoid storing any information about the customer.

Pretty sure that one was to avoid a Windows Nein. (They are still striving for a Windows?Nein! situation given the FUBAR Anniversary Edition, albeit "by any other name")
I was in quite the same situation, Angular 1.x was quite hard to grok at first. But React just "clicked" instantly.

For integration with Rails, I found https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails to be quite useful. It integrates the Babel transformer for JSX into the asset pipeline and brings a couple of helper functions, so no additional setup needed.

You start writing your components, "mount" them via the helpers in standard .erb templates (or even without the template directly from a controller action), done.

I can comment on AWS, EC2 (ECS where docker kicks in if you want it). To set it up via UX Amazon Console was absolutely confusing and continues poor user experience until we moved to AWS-cli which was very time consuming and then the setting up of docker which just ate a big chunk of our time.

Strongly recommend to go for something simpler and lightweight to reduce the time waste as lots of other comments suggest.

At the end of the day you don't even know if anyone wants your product or what first user's opinion is, why waste time on shiny host set-up?
It probably won't fall short of the expectations of people who matter.
You are not. (And it's no wonder SV has little use for devs older than 30! We're not nearly so easy to sucker into burning ourselves out building something for someone else to sell.)
And finally the Samsung stock price reflects the news. It was pretty fascinating to watch it hit its all-time high on 10/7. From what I read it seems that a relatively small percentage of their revenue is impacted by this, so investors aren't that rattled.

I'm not one to try and time the market, but if I were to gamble, this might be a fun one to try to get in on now.
Fractal state management for Cycle.js apps
Logentries. Not sure if I'd say I'm satisfied, but I haven't found anything better.

Pros:

* Decent Java logging integration (some services treat things line-by-line, this is a deal breaker for things like multi-line Java exceptions)

* Reasonably priced

* Alerts are kinda nice

* Hosted

Cons:

* Sometimes UI maxes my Chrome CPU

* Live mode not stable at all

* UI is clunky to say the least. It's not always clear what the context of a search is, the autocomplete is obnoxious. I heard they have a new UI coming out sometime, who knows when

Be careful when awarding people on "all hands" because people can easily think they are unappreciated.

Also do not have debates. Do that in groups of five so everyone get to contribute.

Do talk about the company motivation, mission and priorities though.
Editorializing (i.e. opinions) should stay in the opinion pieces, not be mixed in with reporting of facts. It calls the trustworthiness of the entire rest of the article in question.

Previously used logentries and papertrail, but they became expensive as our log volumes got larger and flexibility was missing.

Now we use self-hosted ELK (elasticsearch, logstash, & kibana) and I'm not itching to go back to any of the hosted services. It's not as good as something like papertrail for tailing log streams live (although that isn't very useful at larger scale) and the UI of Kibana does take a bit of getting used to though.

We're hosted on AWS and used Papertrail. Found it super useful but it got really expensive. Since the new cloudwatch UI improvements, we're down to only using Cloudwatch logs. The UI still sucks quite a lot, but not enough to justify tripling logging costs.
Just because we started of by writing tons of ad code and learned from it, doesn't mean that's the ONLY good way to become a good developer.

And yes, developers need to know the fundamentals. And algorithms are one of them.

We are living in an age where we have hundreds of languages and tens of thousands of frameworks and libraries.

The only way to become pro-efficient with all of these if you know the basics and know it well.

We are past the times where you learned one or two languages in school and at home and was enough to land a decent job. No it's the time for the 'Jack of all Trades'.

And please don't write tons of bad code. We already have tons of it in legacy systems and loads of libraries around the world.
I think it comes down more to them not knowing exactly when the sausage is made. They can agree if the sausage is good or not when it comes out of the factory, but what happens in the middle is less clear. The thinking goes, "code gets output typically when this person sits at this desk, and so when I don't see them sitting at this desk, they probably aren't outputting code."
Officially, no one knows, though there are theories. Samsung has said they are investigating it.

No, it's not marketing. That's back to the condescending attitude again.

The people who use Snapchat have a threat model that includes the ordinary people around them: parents, friends, friends of friends, etc. It does not include governments or the provider of Snapchat itself. Given such a threat model it makes perfect sense to use something like Snapchat - it isn't the result of "marketing" (do services like Instagram and Snapchat advertise at all? I've never seen an advert for them).

The reason decentralised crypto-to-the-hilt products never succeed is they misunderstand the threat models ordinary users are using. Most people fear privacy violations by people who know them in some way - not remote faceless programmers an ocean away who, they figure, don't care about them at all.
