He didn't say prohibiting, he said preventing. The distinction matters greatly. For lower paid people, the cost of access can to some mean a difference between eating or paying their bills and getting contraception.

Those are exactly the kind of situations where the societal cost of not ensuring access to contraceptives is vastly higher than the cost of contraceptives, so it's not just the employees that are harmed in this, but wider society as well.
Ask HN: What intranet solution do you use at your company

When I walk into the casinos, I know the odds of each game and know there is a possibility of losing my money. However if the casino rigs the machines to reduce my odds, then it isn't a fair game anymore and now goes into the realm of cheating.
How much does it end up costing you? Any ideas how much a 'traditional' setup would be in comparison?
The investor's argument is that Theranos lied. The investor believes Theranos fraudulently produced evidence that their product worked in order to fake the responses to the investor's due diligence. If that's true, and the investor can prove it, then that's not simply part of the typical risk of investing, that makes the investor the victim of a serious crime.
I see this as an interesting circle of life, which is yet to reach hardware manufacturers: the fact the real, reliable money can only come from businesses.

The money - and the attention - of the generic population is momentary.
Man oh man, as a long time Sublime user I downloaded it just out of curiosity and really not expecting to switch. Now its a few months down the line and its the only text editor I use, and once a month I see a new release at the top of HN and get excited.

This provision of the law would never get past any competent court. It's a nasty, horrible law but is hardly the end of all justice in Britain.

I am curious what sort of stuff is being built that need microservices (presumably so they scale) yet still has a database back end (usually the IO is the bottleneck in most applications).
<3 I guess you're referring to my other project :-)
I think you might have missed the sarcasm in that comment.
For js projects you can work around that problem with

const config = require('./config.json');

Then you do config.secrets.apiKey etc

You have to gitignore config.json and include it in serverless.yml

Other languages might have to read and parse that JSON into one of their data structures.
On the prescription side, they use testosterone patches to help with women's libido - I think they've done other drugs as well. Hormomes do quite a bit - birth control can kill libido.

As far as recreational drugs, MDMA is generally viewed as such, though it remains slightly illegal.

Going about this another way, alcohol seems to do it with a lot of people, mostly by loosening anxieties and other such things, though that can have the downside of having desire but not enough sobriety to complete the task. Other recreational drugs vary somewhat.

Beyond that, I think a lot of things are social cues and not actual aphrodisiacs. In modern times, I'm guessing this is things like receiving flowers and other dating rituals.
Yes, I guess the blood-brain-barrier, because 99% of sex happens in the brain.
"serverless" is the pricing model as far as i can tell
Haha fair argument. As someone pointed out - it's very easy to incur technical debt in Perl. It's a dynamic language with virtually non-existant dev tools and lacking open source community. I personally can't wait to go back to a static language for our backend. We're looking at NodeJS (of course...), JVM, and Go. Arguably you can fake typing in NodeJS with TypeScript, Flow, etc, but my team isn't too excited about JS for our backend, I personally have an allergic reaction to Java for backend and I really want a static language, so by process of elimination, Go wins.

Why we rejected Pfizer’s donation offer of pneumonia vaccines
One needs to be familiar with both syntax with a preference for ES6 to be successful. When I was first learning JavaScript, ES6 was on the cusp of becoming mainstream. I hated the fact that it seemed like I was learning two different languages at the same time. That's probably inevitable though. I eventually went through the burning process and am glad I did. I now code exclusively in ES6 and am never going back.
Dropbox solves the problem of synchronizing files between devices for people who do not possess their own file server to act as intermediary.

So, Dropbox is the service you use when you don't own a Raspberry Pi.
Using WordPress for a simple read-only blog is OK: security is not as major a concern.

Once you're taking signups, the quality and security record of the underlying software is worth considering more carefully, and I just personally would not choose WordPress where those are requirements.

I've been working lately on getting Visual Studio Code to compile for ARM. Its working fairly reliably but Travis doesnt support the toolchain so Im having to use Gitlab CI in the meantime.

I want to give this a little more polish before I release, but can I gauge from the folks here if there would be any interest in ARM nightlies for Raspberry Pi (and other ARM SBCs)/ARM Chromebooks?

If so, I'll move some things around to get it done in the next few days.

Works really well on Chrome OS with Crouton, owing to the integrated terminal:

I've seen this suggested on other threads, but why? If your phone starts smoking and burning out are you really going to start fiddling with it to remove the now red-hot battery? What are you going to do with it if you do remove it? All you've done is remove a physical barrier between the incendiary device and flamables in the environment.

We don't even know if the flaw is in the battery itself. Maybe it's in the charging circuitry, or even the software controlling the charging cycle. Personally in a situation like this I wouldn't care where the flaw was, I'd want a different replacement device anyway. Especially if even the device manufacturer apparently can't figure out how to make these things safe.

Finally, one theory is that Samsung designed the battery cells to be too thin. Since removable battery designs reduce the amount of space available for a battery, the constraints on the battery size would be even greater, conceivably making an issue like this even more likely.
Is it just me or is this somewhat a contradiction?

Alibaba's $60B finance arm seeks growth before IPO: sources
I am sure there is plenty of people who didn't think and say anything like that when they were 19, i.e. they were already mature.

Unfortunately, they have not much say in how FB is doing its business. Why are we giving MZ benefit of the doubt, when there is plenty of likely more mature people?
Any good resources on where to get started with this style of programming. I am getting bored of the web dev churn and this side of things seems more stable and Rust looks nice.
No, but if all you really want to do is add some visuals and show what the CEO of the company looks like, why not just grab the default portrait photo from the company press pack?
Both Apple and the developer made mistakes. That much is clear.

Apple, being a big corporation, is inhuman if they do not admit their mistakes.

The developer, being a human, is a prick if he doesn't admit his mistakes.
Usually they follow the format:

- Good news: Funny opening, exciting new projects and features, awards, new hires. Everyone is great, smart, talented, the best. Don't quit, refer your friends.

- Bad news: The company is not profitable and everyone needs to work harder so the company can be sold at a higher price. Some random self-help phrase to close.

Basically, get everyone to lower their guard, then unload the bullshit.
My daughter just got a replacement for my old iPhone 3GS. She was still using it until week before last, with the original battery. It can even still connect to the app store.
> # this was a mistake...

That's not an unfixable mistake: sda3 is at the end of the partition table, so if it's deleted, sda2 can be safely resized offline. For example,

parted /dev/sda rm 3
parted /dev/sda "resizepart 2 -0"
resize2fs /dev/sda2 # for ext2/3/4

And then you can create a swap file or volume on sda2, so long as it isn't on btrfs.
Looks like the license is AGPL so that nobody can clone them and do a similar 'pro' version.

Well, they can, they just have to ship the source to the buyers (and no, they don't need to give it to non-buyers).
Having never used Facebook I find that I don't need it for most things.
But, there are some activities in which I'm involved where almost all discussion and event organisation takes place on Facebook. My participation has thus decreased significantly over the past decade.
The organiser of one such event (to which I've been going for years) mentioned to me recently that of the approx. 20 people giving presentations there I was the only one not on Facebook, requiring him to email me separately. Many people wouldn't make that effort any more.
I was actually happy to find out VSCode doesn't have this feature.
That's a dumb argument then. See, when you do due diligence you should assume that the company lies. That's why you go there in the first place, if you believe everything they tell you then you're going to get fleeced if they lie.

Theranos did not comply with their duty to inform truthfully, but the investors did not comply with their duty to research. Asking the company is not research, the technology being complex is not an excuse, you're going to have to do your own homework, you can't rely on the company because they have an incentive to not be truthful.

It's not as if there is accounting with double bookkeeping that was withheld from you, it's a bunch of machinery that should perform in a certain way. Bring your own samples for which only you know the outcome, have them run those through the machinery in your presence and check the results.

That this will take more than some pencil pushing is where things went wrong, they simply didn't feel that on an investment this size they needed to actually look at the technology, they basically lapped up what the company told them and forked over the cash.

FWIW I do this sort of thing for a living and I'd take it quite personal if a company lied and got away with it because I failed to properly look at their technology.

Belief doesn't enter into it.

It probably isn't. I can wear my in-ear noise-blocking headphones for about two hours until they become physically uncomfortable. Over-ear headphones are fine for up to four hours. An open office is just not a workable environment for me.
What do you mean by DPI scaling? I'm using VSCode on Windows on retina-y display with something like 200% scaling and no issues.
When you're about to wire cash at this level to a company you have a real responsibility to make sure that the technology is real and you shouldn't by default believe everything they tell you. Independent verification is something no reputable/honest company would have a problem with, at least, I've never encountered it and if a company did have a problem with it then I'd see that as a huge red flag.

The whole Theranos affair interests me very much from a professional point of view, I could not imagine that none of those high flying investors and funds had not done actual due diligence, it is the biggest example of the herd mentality at work that I'm aware of involving only one company.

The really big question - and it is one that will inevitably be asked - is at what point in time did Theranos/Holmes realize that their tech wasn't going to work? If that is hard to establish (and they're probably trying very hard to make that even harder) then she may get away with the whole thing. If it can be established beyond doubt that they knew prior to accepting investment then it definitely is a case of fraud and the investors may be able to recoup some of their investment but it still isn't enough to get them off the hook completely for their own role in this.
This might be interesting if we could see what it was. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a web version, and you need an account to download it. I'm not going to create an account just to "download" a cheat sheet with content that could have been posted to an ordinary web page.

How to get an app banned from the app store:

Spend $5000 at Fiverr or similar on bogus reviews.

.. There are no more steps.

This also works with SEO. You can spend under $100 at Fiverr for thousands of backlinks, get your website flagged by Google and the website needs to manually remove those backlinks in their console (which takes days, if not weeks to track down the flagged links).

Rinse and repeat on your competitor once a month to ruin their online presence.
So I guess you're idea of not using FB@Work is to leave the company I currently work at, since there is no other way for me not to use it.
I am using mailbox.org

Ask HN: Getting payed internationally as a freelancer
We are a group of freelancers from Europe that regularly work for US companies. Every time we send them an invoice there is a huge discussion about how to send the money starting. Somehow the Americans don't like wire transfer in Euros and so they always try to send us checks, which is something that doesn't really exist here. Our best guess is that nobody wants to pay conversion and transfer fees.

So my question: How to transfer the money from US to Europe? What is the cheapest way?

Without sharing too much info, I'm making ~$1.2k/monthly right now off of a Bitcoin arbitrage bot I made.

I'd share more, but the arbitrage only exists because of a market inefficiency and I'm sure that if anyone here started competing with me, the market would become too efficient to easily profit :-).
Wow. I think this is actually the very first time anyone has ever flat out accused me of being a racist.
Thanks for that summary. I am (very) pro privacy/encryption but I can see this is more akin to: "The defendant was carrying a shovel, a weapon and rubber gloves in the trunk of his car" -- not itself an offence unless they can also prove they were intending to do something nasty with these things.
I'd suggest something like a Gollum wiki - office types can edit it via the browser, tech types can clone the repo and make changes to markdown files (and then push their changes back, obviously).
Someone should start a podcast or blog series where each entry starts with the question, "Where did everything go wrong?" Businesses, relationships, misadventures, etc.
The first thing I want to know from an "everything you want to know about all-hands" article is :

What is an 'all hands'?
If you had a singalong at the end of an all hands in Britain, almost everyone would throw themselves through the nearest window.
Also what's done when brown/black people are in the news, except most often it doesn't matter if it's good or bad -- the media in both cases looks for a not so flattering picture.
The important thing to keep in mind here is that the contrarianism of a bet is very obviously not a sufficient condition to make it a success. It's just that being contrarian AND right will usually be a more valueable bet than being right AND doing what everyone else does.

Thus a successful contrarian would invest in things that everyone else considers insane, but where she herself has a good theory on why they are actually not insane.

Does it have fuzzy search by whole file path yet?
Am I the only old/cynical enough to choke on the miasma of BS?!
Your argument is wrong because one luxury apartment will take up the space of 2 cheap ones, not 20.

Also, the cost of making a luxury apartment vs a cheap one, fittings, etc. is trivial compared to the sale value in today's market in Paris.

The choice isn't 1 v 20, it's 1 v 2. You can't make 20 cheap apartments in the space of one expensive one.

Hence why I used 2 instead of 20.
This might sound like a weird question, but after a lot of search I found no keyboard shortcut to toggle between the editor and integrated terminal.
It sound like a I'm picky but it's a bit of a timewaster to have to pick up the mouse just to switch from editor to the integrated terminal.
A most I could use an external terminal window but that kinda defeats the purpose of having an integrated one I think.
Is there such a key binding?
Wouldn't it be a good idea if they would change their licensing so that commercial usage allowed them to build a stable income stream and pay more and more developers every year? Also it would be very important to build developer schools and other educational facilities to sustain development in future, what would be much easier with a stable and growing budget.
I've been wanting to build something like this for about a decade but never bothered, and this looks so much better than anything I could have built. Thanks Ilian!

DynamoDB is not immune from that problem. There is no way out: if the container is terminated the connection goes down. The key is not making Lambda stop and rm the container (in docker terms). If there are enough requests the container is reused and the connection stays up, but you must initialize it outside the function. An example with DynamoDB

const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
const docClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
module.exports.theFunction = (event, context, callback) => {
var params = {
TableName: "table",
Item: {
"attribute": "value"
}
};
docClient.put(params, function (err, data) {
...
});
callback(null, {...});
};

I didn't try but it should work with any other db.

However, is Lambda cost effective for services with the amount of requests required to have their containers almost never terminated?
