> it's still unethical

Not sure I agree with you there. Personally, I think all business interactions should be voluntary; anything else is slavery with a few palliative layers of abstraction thrown in.

In the particular example you gave, that's just foisting part of the cost of reproduction (risk of productivity loss) onto some innocent third parties.

I see both sides of the argument, and I see why protecting the convenience of reproduction is important from a practical genetic/memetic standpoint, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it "ethical".
I heard that Obamacare outlawed discrimination based on preexisting conditions. What country are you in/what insurance difficulties are you having related to pre-existing conditions?

Kevin Murphy - "Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective" is a great (literally - 1000+ pages) textbook that is basically self-contained (pre-reqs: some comfort w. multivariable calculus, linear algebra, basic computer science theory; convex optimization experience a huge plus)
That seems reasonable. I also went through my contacts, calendar, etc. to make sure they were wiped clean.
Just to clarify this. I really meant this in a positive way. It made me think about giving it a try which is kind of insane since I'm a very very devoted (n)vi[m] user.
Likewise, I hope you avoid onions and chocolate as both are toxic to dogs.
Er...why wouldn't it reflect well on him? The caption for the photo attributes it to him and the Bloomberg News, which means:

1. It's part of the Bloomberg News catalog

2. It may have been published on Bloomberg's own stories of Theranos.

3. WSJ had to pay for the right to use that photo.

How would any of those things reflect badly on the photographer?
Well today's statements seem fairly straightforward - don't use it, don't try and exchange it, and to retailers - stop selling it.

I remember reading an article that said the head of Samsung had a health issue a year or two ago. He basically hasn't been working since then, but because of the traditions of Korean conglomerates no one can take over his place while he's alive without being shameful. So his lieutenants/sons (can't remember which) are sort of doing their best but they don't have the force of being the actual head of the company. According to the article that made it harder for Samsung to respond.

If I'm remembering it correctly I don't know how true it is. Either way I don't see why it means that they've botched two recalls now.

The rest is pure nonsense.
this is really excellent

I am part of a meet-up of theorists who do build websites... but are also curious how frameworks like React work under the hood. What algorithms they use, frameworks, etc.

It's possible to build a nice web-site without knowing any code at all. Or knowing some code and algorirthms. In that case the code may become very difficult to control, or revise or share with your peers.

If you know some algorithms and code it's sometimes helpful to see what is under the hood.

"No, you have to have an account that your competitor opened with their own credit card and gave to you, and then you publish an app for that account and buy fraudulent reviews for it."

implying that this is the only way Apple would consider fraudulent positive reviews to be developer's fault? Unlikely.

I think you underestimate the market for high end keyboards. Kinesis has been doing this for a while for example and they don't seem to have a problem sustaining themselves or coming up with new versions. I bought a Kinesis Advantage 10 years ago for $350. They recently announced the Kinesis Advantage 2 for a similar price point. http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage2/

I'm sure it's not a huge market but it's enough to sustain a company that wants to focus on making premium accessories. I don't think keyboards are going anywhere anytime soon. Sure, the consumer market is shrinking but the average computer user was never going to spend $300 for a keyboard. People spend that when they do serious amounts of typing all day, and there doesn't seem to be a decrease in the number of people that need to type for a living.
I'm Chinese American and I agree. I too find it easier to identify as Chinese-American / Asian-American.

I live in and was born and raised in NYC around large Asian communities, so I feel like I'm fortunate to grow up learning about my parent's culture and where they're from but at the same time I'm a child of a completely different culture. I often find myself feeling torn between the two. I'm not Chinese, my birth certificate proves I'm American, however I often don't feel like I can represent myself as either.

My fiance is White American and the glances and stares we get when we're in more homogeneous parts of the country are pretty telling.
Client Manager is a mountable Rails (engine) gem that helps identify and authenticate your API clients.

Motivation:

To understand why this gem exists, let's look at a simple example of a blog application built with a Rails API and any JavaScript front-end framework. In the API, you're probably going to have some endpoints that only logged in Users/Authors can access. Like creating or deleting a blog post. Other endpoints, however, like reading posts, will be unauthenticated. This means that if one should go to the read endpoint using a browser, the whole JSON response will be displayed. What would be ideal, would be make it such that only the front-end application can access the read endpoint(s).

Typically to do this, you might generate a random UUID and ask the front-end developer to put it in the header of their requests. But this doesn't scale well. What if you want to add an Android app? Or an iOS one too? That's where Client Manager comes in. It helps you easily manage all of this with a simple User Interface. With Client Manager, you can:

Create clients with an automatically generated JSON Web Token, which can be used to authenticate requests
Create users with the ability to create (a specified number of) clients themselves
Couldn't this be because Li-ion is currently a hot field with lots of commercial applications?

I'm not a chemist (my dad was, but got out of the field right after I was born), but that's what I see in computer science research. When OOP was hot we saw a huge volume of papers in subtyping systems, faster method dispatch, design patterns, etc. When XML was hot we saw a lot of papers on tree-diffing, compression of tree structures, etc. After BigTable, Dynamo, Riak came out we saw a lot of papers on distributed systems and CRDTs.

It makes sense that as a technology catches on in industry, the amount of research grants related to that technology increases, which incentivizes scientists to study that topic in more depth.
> HN, and journalistic standards are much higher.

Mainstream media has FAR higher journalistic standards than independent media.

Major media sites have volumes of books that their reporters follow for their editorial process. AP has a style guide you can buy (and vet).

Independent media follow no such journalistic rules.

Never trust independent media. Mainstream corporate media is far more trustworthy, since they are a known known.

It's such a fallacy to assume that just because it's independent that it's more trustworthy, when the exact opposite is true.
> "I checked the medical licensing requirements in California to make sure I wouldn’t lose the ability to care for patients... Fears were unfounded."

You should get help. But you can't be sure you will be allowed to practice medicine. The medical board will decide on an individual basis. For reference, texas medical board form for mental illness and self referral program: http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/dl/C5EAB589-0916-C88D-FF94-DE8D96...

Of course, if you don't self report, and practice anyway, and a patient complains, you might be facing criminal charges.

First do no harm. Help yourself before you help others (seek mental help if you need it).

We use Unison[1] to keep a local copy in sync with remote, then just pop open the local copy in any editor.

It sits and watches both the local and remote filesystem for updates, it's fast and efficient, even in large projects. Downside is that it needs to be installed on both ends for the filesystem watching to work.

What I dont understand is that if Apple are so vigilant in removing false reviews, and if they're so sensitive to fraudulent reviews (as I wish they would be), why is it that seemingly everywhere I look it is full of them.

Take this app for example: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disk-drill-media-recovery/id...

(click on "All versions"). You'll see there's HUNDREDS of fake reviews, all giving it 5 stars, and in all cases it is the only review that account has ever made.

It's a valid complaint when batteries lose nearly half of their capacity or more within the first year, and people tend to keep their phones longer than that. Just not buying the phones doesn't necessarily get the word out as to why, but posts like this do. It may seem trivial, as posts on forums generally are, but in greater numbers they become less trivial.
> You say that a "sprained ankle" is easy to diagnose -- but is it really? On the differential, how many other conditions manifest similarly? What complications can a trained doctor see, what questions do they know to ask?

We're talking probabilities here. Most likely your illness is due to the most probable cause. And if it isn't, well, stuff happens.

From wikipedia: In economics and in public-choice theory, rent-seeking involves seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth.

I believe that's what a lot of doctors do these days. After a weekend of tromping through the woods, I got a case of poison oak. I had to see a doctor and get a prescription for a steroid, because apparently it's a scheduled medication.

There is a lot of overlap between a cartel and rent-seeking though.

> In my interaction with the medical industry, in no case would I have been as well-served by a "lesser expert."

Is that only from your diabetic condition, or other issues? I think the question I'm raising is that maybe sometimes "it'll do" is just as good "he's elite, I'm lucky to have him".

> I assume you still want the lesser experts we're discussing to be regulated legally, etc

No. I think you should be able to hang out your shingle without government regulation.

It's the thing I love most about this site, is that it generates an incentive to go read journal articles about bees.

Things like this usually start with some seed of general knowledge or trivia --- in my case, it's listening to EconTalk, which had an episode with a bee economist talking about the misconceptions about colony collapse. But in an HN thread, you usually need something more specific than the general vibe of an EconTalk episode, so you go do a bunch of reading.

It's fun! It's like competitive librarianing.

The US health care system has not been a free market for 50 years, likely much longer. It's got very heavy government involvement at all levels.
That's usually a great defense if you're not talking about a person whose schemes only grew over time in both privacy violations and business gains. This is also the same guy who spends lots of time convincing users privacy doesn't matter and he should know everything about them while buying up homes all around his for his privacy.

He's definitely still playing the "if you need info just ask" cuz they're "dumb fucks" that "trust me" game. Just worth billions with his company making as much on the same game on a worldwide scale.

> but even in the "simplest" of cases a doctor is called upon to draw on advanced skills and concepts he may not even remember he has.

But how often does that occur? And is it worth the economic cost of not having doctors available, or doctors overworked? Individual human life is cheap.

I'd prefer to go to a medical office without taking out a loan.

People in "normal" non-techy workplaces are aware of and interested in Slack. Mainstream workplace group messaging in these sorts of organizations (which make up a lot more of the economy than the ones in our bubble) is a fairly new trend, which Slack deserves a lot of credit for.

This is a common mistake - the existence of technology is not the same as mainstream adoption.
Apple and Google and the Walled Gardens they've constructed seriously need some regulation and need to be considered "common carriers" which provide a service to the general public without discrimination.

Telephone companies are one such an example.

If you paid the bill of your friends phone one month, and later the phone company got into a dispute with them and cut off the phone that you do business on out of your home office -- and then refused to reinstate your phone line unless you publicly apologized to them, I suspect the FCC would not approve of their actions.

Apple has way more power in this situation and is much more of a monopoly over many software developers lives, but is operating by rules that it makes up itself.
