Hedge funds frequently have charitable foundations and pension funds as limited partners. Unless the hedge fund is just a family office, there's a high probability that the "little guy" will be impacted, somewhere.

I can't tell you if your schadenfreude over hedge funds losing money is right or wrong, because that's based on normative values. But I'd encourage you to adjust your understanding of the financial dynamics involved.
No, it's gone.

Read the post again. Kapeli paid for the dev fee for an account he did not make or control, and gave the person controlling that account hardware he had bought. Apple proceeded to pull a facebook and marked the two accounts as linked and treated them as being the same person. Then the person controlling said account started doing shady stuff, followed by Apple dinging them, but failing to actually follow up with Kapeli's account to see whether that one is actually and in reality controlled by the same person.

The relative was acting only on their own and likely not even aware that what they were doing could hurt Kapeli, and vice versa.

And Apple knee-jerked without questioning their assumptions.

This isn't a solution. Wearing headphones all day will lead to hearing loss. Especially if you have them turned up to any sort of level needed to block out even light conversation.

> the sole doctor for miles in a rural area to attend to a mass casualty event.

Seems like the issue is not a lot of doctors in the area. While we can't test this easily, wouldn't reducing the forced marches give more people incentive to join the profession? Then you have more doctors, better coverage and people scheduled to be on call for this.

Essentially, where's the balance between few superheroes who survived and a large number of doctors who are just pretty good.

> but the rigor works and makes for good doctors.

You're commenting on an article which talks about medical students being suicidal. And I know of 2 local doctors actually going through with that. That's not my definition of "good".

In these incidents, how many times did you have to reach on your advanced medical training instead of the basic ones to treat burn wounds and fix food poisoning?

Would you rather have more less trained doctors, or fewer elite doctors in those circumstances?
The social contract of society? Sounds religious to me and also a rationalization for State power. I only believe in real contracts that I actually sign and agree to. Moving benefits to the State just gives them a monopoly on those benefits and that doesn't seem like a good solution, either.
Maybe!

But for example Piwik's main competitor is Google Analytics. It's reasonable to not trust Google for privacy reasons, but Google employs one the largest security teams in the world and produces very well-regarded research. I trust Google with securing Google Analytics more than I trust Piwik's developers with securing Piwik.

> 4) "You might not need Redux"[3]

For some older projects I found a hand-built flux helper[0] of ~220 lines worked great and didn't require any toolchain modifications. The switching costs to some of the ES6 stuff was too high in that case, but it's also a potentially leaner app if you don't need the advanced features of Redux and ES6.

The Redux architecture is so nice though.

You may not think you're talking about sense data, but you might as well be.

Science doesn't operate from the first person perspective. The data of science is not neural firings, it is public observations and measurements.

The sense in which a subatomic particle is inferred from its effects is completely different from the sense in which the brain "infers" things based on neural signals. The former is part of theorizing, the second is a bit of information processing that's prior to theorizing of any kind. The former is a fact about how science works. The latter is a scientific discovery which does not (directly[0]) affect how we do science.

[0] I say directly because there are contexts where we have to account for bias, optical illusions, and whatnot. It's the same sense in which astronomy is not directly about telescopes, though astronomers spend a lot of time worrying about telescopes.
I wonder how many other developers have unknown "linked" accounts with a former coworker or business partner.
In telling the other side of the story, the Dash developer published his (apparently secret) recording of a 7-minute long telephone call he had with a person at Apple who purports to be speaking on behalf of Phil Schiller.[1]

Leaving aside whatever inferences might be drawn from the fact that the developer saw fit to record and publish the recording in the first place, here's a brief summary of what was said:

- There was at least one other developer account "linked" to the Dash developer account. In this context, "linked" means that the accounts "shared the same details": they were enrolled in the Apple Developer Program "with the same credit card number", and "used the same test devices".

- Apple says that at least one of those other developer accounts "definitely had fraudulent activity": "It was not your direct account but it was a linked account." Warnings about fraudulent activity were sent to the linked account. No warnings were sent to the Dash account.

- The Dash developer asked: "Why didn't you notify me beforehand though, and let me know that an account that's linked to mine is doing fraudulent activity, so I can do something about it?" The answer is "because they were linked"; "we see them as the same entity". "If we have accounts that have enrolled in our program using the same credit card, they are the same legal entity; they are the same." So Apple believed they had notified the Dash developer because Apple believed the same person was behind the linked accounts. (Prudence would dictate notifying all accounts at risk of termination; we'll see what happens in future.)

- Apple's position is that no mistakes were made. The Dash developer account was linked to an account with fraudulent activity based on the facts known to Apple.

- The Dash developer says (in his blog post) that he "helped a relative get started by paying for her Apple's Developer Program Membership using my credit card" and "handed her test hardware that I no longer needed".

- Apple says they are "working with" the Dash developer to "unlink the accounts", which (I speculate) may involve some attempt to verify the Dash developer's claim that the linked account was used only by a relative and not by him. If the accounts are unlinked, there would be no reason for the Dash account to remain closed.

>If we get a cold and need time off we need to visit a GP, this is rent seeking that could easily be handled by a non doctor for half the price.

I'm not sure where you work, but I have never needed a doctor's note to get off work for a simple cold. That's a company policy issue, not the fault of the medical industry.

As I said, a lot of the front-line work is now handled by NPs and PAs. There are still physicians in primary care, but they spend much of their time handling the more complicated patients.
brutal, glad you made it out when you did.

I am ignorant of SLIME/CIDER (though I think I've used the latter with Clojure). Do they have access to the same memory space as the running application and the ability to interact with live application state? It seem that Nightlight has that as a goal. My (limited) understanding is that SLIME/CIDER run in a separate process from the application, thus requiring IPC back and forth between Emacs and the application runtime.

Angular and React are like black and white when we talk about time of learning.

Simply because :

- Angular is a full framework including html templating, directives, components, controllers, services, router, xhr abstractions ($http and $resource), dependency injection, two-way data binding by default, one-way data binding if you want (to fix performance issues) and the list can continue. Plus, you need to set and learn a style guide [1] and some good practices because, if you have 2 developers, none of them will code in Angular in the same way.

=> it took me weeks to learn, and months to master.

- React is just a library to build views. You code 90% of your time in basic JS and 10% in React APIs (basically: states, props, lifecycle methods and that's it).

=> it took me 1 hour to learn, and 1 week to master.

If you want to learn React, you just need to read the official tutorial [2].

Is /usr/bin/env bash good enough? Or should I assume that only a "sh" is available? (I found tcsh tricky when I first started using FreeBSD, and I think a few of my accounts have the default shell set to bash)
I still remember the first day of my surgery rotation, when the head surgeon came in to give us a lecture: "Sorry if I'm a bit off, I just finished a 30 hour shift and haven't slept yet." lol. It varies greatly by specialty and program but I can assure there are physicians who literally test the limits of how much you can work in a week.
Ah, should have assumed you already did your homework. Sounds rough man, sorry.
After listening to the call it does seem like Apple didn't do due diligence and notify all parties involved. They notified the owner of the dev account, but not the owner of each account that was going to be deactivated. Doing this could have prevented the misunderstanding.
More like "many cases of violent reaction to food product reported, no substantive action taken by company and blame deferred."

You can't reasonably expect ISPs to provide anonymity; that would be like asking the Post Office to change your mailing address on demand.

It makes more sense for ISPs to focus on efficient delivery, while anonymity is handled by things like overlay networks.
Isn't that a little backwards though? The more surgeons there are, the more the work could be spread out, and the hours would be saner.
wiretapping apple? yeah, good move.
I don't view it as regulating what kids must be exposed to. What we should be doing and what I think the GP is suggesting is that we regulate was kids must not be exposed to.

There is no ethically sound justification for forcing a child to go to Church repeatedly during their development. Most religious people believe that children have innate innocence until a certain point. Until that point, they have no need for religion and should be given the opportunity to make up their own mind about it when they are old enough.

What about generators? I've built coroutines based on generators. CSP has been implemented in JS using generators. Not sure why those projects went thru "staggering amount of overhead" to get what we get for free with generators. Please educate.

Why do you have to work 90 hours a week? Why wouldn't your employer just offer a position with less hours for less money?

In software the long hours have specific reasons. For example we can't double throughput by doubling resources, and in startups the money is limited, etc
Since the dev behind Dash is based in Romania[1], is this law still applicable?

They probably want to recoup as much of the money they invested as possible. They invested almost 100M, I'm sure not all of it's gone. If they can force the company to shut down now (as opposed to trying to pivot) they might get 20 - 30 cents on the dollar, as opposed to zero.
If anything, I believe that the outcome is a private out of court settlement agreement, terms of which are not disclosed.

Hahaha too true, too true. My lingering loyalty to MS obliges me to defend this though. There were custom shells, dev tools, and compilers for almost every major project combined with Visual Studio and C-family languages (which is an extremely overpowered editor btw - I mean you can even do 3D editing with it, proof: https://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Visual-Studio-3D-StarterKit) so, to be honest you didn't really miss Linux/Mac OS X that much.
Though its worth mentioning that based on your grades, test scores, and even pre-med screening -- many students who want to be a doctor will never even apply.

The managers of this hedge fund handed over $100 million dollars in other people's money without so much as a whiff of due diligence.

There are 13 major life sciences venture capital firms and not one of then would touch Theranos with a ten foot pole. You'd think, in theory, that whomever it was at Partner Management LP who makes the big investment decisions would make a few phone calls first before deciding to pull the trigger.

Diagnosis will be made easier. At present for instance, many cancers are classified in a confusing and overlapping way.
Radiologists might disappear in 50 years. Huge swathes of surgery will be automated away. I suspect psychiatry too will succumb.
I think Apple's position is reasonable here.

A second developer account, which is the account linked to fraudulent reviews, was opened using the same credit card, same bank account, and same test devices as the main Kapeli account. So it's reasonable that they would assume the same person was in control of both accounts.

The developer claims this is not the case, however. Apple seems willing to accept that. All they are asking is for him to write a blog post stating these facts.

This.

Apple should be contacting the App's official developer account link to the App Developer, or all accounts linked to the App's Developer, not just the discovered linked Account. After all, isn;t the official account the one bound by the license and terms of use for the developer's app?

If Apple chooses not to notify the App developer's via his official account, but the discovered account. Well, then only the discovered account should be deactivated (and not impact the App).

Would apple send a password reset to the discovered linked account or the official account contact? We could insert a few jokes here, but obviously the answer here is the official account email.
I think we agree. By doing your best to implement security measures (hire cybersecurity consultants, install the software they recommend, etc.) you are still exposed to risk, just significantly diminished since generally hackers would go after easier targets.

At issue is that many firms do not implement these security measures at all. The Sony people were repeatedly warned and had earlier breeches but didn't want to spend the money it took to follow measures recommended to them until after the attack. I think their mindset is not so unique and that many firms aren't doing what they can to try to eliminate the breeches. In some cases, the issues are internal, but in others customer lists are breeched, etc. or credit cards hacked as in Target, Lowe's, and others.
There are 3 keyboards in this space (split with mechanical switches) now: the Ergodox EZ ($295) (which I'm typing this on right now), the Keyboardio ($329) and the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard ($220). The Keyboardio and UHK are still under development; I preordered the UHK about a year ago and its delay has been OK (a few months, it seems). I also ordered the Ergodox EZ at the same time, that one wasn't delayed and shipped last December. Each of them has a slightly different focus/gimmick - Ergodox is more DIY and customizable, UHK has a bunch of add-on modules like trackpad and thumbcluster that can be clicked in, the Keyboardio is more 'artisanal' with the wood and all.

I didn't (pre)order the Keyboardio because it uses non-standard key caps - I don't think they'll be in business very long after they ship because I don't think their pricepoint is sustainable vis a vis the size of the market. At least on the others you can easily swap out most parts. The UHK is sourced locally (i.e., EU) as well, which I think gives them an advantage in the long run. Then again, even if such a keyboard lasts for say 5 years - I'll have gotten my money out of it several times over, considering it's the main 'tool' I have in my hands each and every day.
An Open Letter to the Woman Who Told My Family to Go Back to China
From the outside it looks like doctors do fairly mundane things like write prescriptions, make diagnoses, counsel patients etc... But a doctor is not merely someone that does these things, each of which could be done (probably better) by a nurse, a physician assistant, a well trained monkey, or an algorithm.

The key thing doctors do is take responsibility for a patient. A recurrent neural network won't do that. Machine learning engineers won't/can't do that. Google certainly isn't going to do that. Doctors don't always or even often get it right, and they could always do a better job, but they are still the only ones really willing to take responsibility for a patient.
Resources and talent get things done, attitudes do not.
Odd coincidence (or maybe not) that the father of the founder, Elizabeth Holmes, worked at Enron (per wikipedia).
Honest question: how does this not trigger a "stampede for the exit" including lawsuits for everyone else who wants to get their money back?
No, there is absolutely no legal case here whatsoever. Apple's developer program terms grant them virtually unbridled power to do whatever they want with your developer account no matter how fair or how unfair. You have no legal right to have a developer account. Normal business contractual negotiations (as these are) are not blackmail.
