As someone who did Phrama testing in college to help pay my way through school, compensation would be determined by how long the study went on, which the article failed to say:

"It was a pretty big study; they gave shots to 320 men every eight weeks, in different countries around the world."

Every eight weeks, but for how long?

In my experience, it would probably be in the neighborhood of a few thousand dollars, but not much more. For the participants, even that much money to take some pills over the course of say a few months would probably be seen as easy money.

But then again, there's those pesky side effects.

The democrats who opposed civil rights hated big government, hated government deficits, and advocated de-regulation of industry.

If one were trying to categorize them according to today's ideologies, they'd be republican. They were more conservatives than they were democrats, and the only reason they were democrats was lingering bitterness over the civil war.
They did not line item phones into monthly bills to the extent they do now. And they especially did not for smart phones. I remembered freeby phones, and high end phones you purchased with rebates attached. But the high end consumer phones were certainly not being attached like this.
> Every time a cell divides there is some chance of a genetic error occurring.

> Activities that damage tissue, etc and necessitate cell division to replenish the cells will contain cells with more errors.

I don't see how your explanation could enable anything but a statistical model.

The underlying processes I'm talking about would be molecular interactions modeled through the domain of theoretical chemistry or even mechanical processes, probably involving the quantum mechanics of many particle systems. This is probably the mysterious and complex part that is not well understood. Your example does nothing to explain how that works.

Damage happens, yes, this much is clear, but how do the molecules of smoke interact with the cells in the lungs and other places in order to cause the mutations? Can we compute what happens when a nicotine molecule hits a lung cell? Probably not... because it is too complex and mysterious.

From the article:
I asked Bathiche why Microsoft never turned this idea into reality. "We did not build computers back then," explained Bathiche, who co-created the Microsoft Surface, in a Twitter reply. "When we did start, we made computers with touch screens."

There is definitely a difference between the Apple and Microsoft approaches. And while there's been a lot of consternation expressed about Apple's Touch Bar, it's early days still on touch computing. Smartphones are a different experience. And there does seem to be a place for the touch screen with a keyboard. And there might be a place for an keyboard augmented with a touch screen.

I wonder if we've gotten accustomed to the tech we have -- after all, it's pretty exciting -- and think we've seen it all? What was the initial reaction to the mouse?
No, it's not. Legitimate discussion and review, sure - but that doesn't take two hours. The problem is with maintainers arguing over small changes, trying to trivialize them, finding reasons to reject them, asking contributors to do more work first... It's pretty much impossible to just leave a contribution and move on.

This is something I encounter constantly. It's why I've stopped bothering submitting documentation fixes in most cases, and now resort to writing and publishing my own documentation. It makes one-off contributions to open-source unreasonably costly and non-viable. I know many others who feel the same.

If maintainers want more contributions to their open-source projects, they need to start recognizing that the contributor's time and skills are valuable as well - that means not second-guessing contributions unless there's a concrete reason to do so, and making an effort to write a comprehensive response to a contribution (especially if it's a rejection). And most of all, being clear about this policy.

It's easy to say "why don't you submit it to the project?" from the sidelines, but the reality is that 'formal' contributions nearly always come with an expectation of dedicating your time and attention towards them on a more-or-less ongoing basis. Many people cannot afford that, and as such publish them elsewhere.

Changing that starts with maintainers, not with contributors.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off, but to be honest, I don't really care if I do. I'm simply trying to pry government open into being more transparent through any means necessary.

No. Not in the slightest. My opinion doesn't matter anywhere in government, so I'm left with the tools at my disposal.

> As much as I herald the ongoing march toward mass HTTPS adoption, I'm not sure Google should be taking the credit.

Are they taking credit? I read this as more of a report on the state of HTTPS in 2016, not as Google taking credit for HTTPS adoption on the web.

Though to be fair, Google absolutely has done a lot to promote the adoption of HTTPS. They're a platinum sponsor of Let's Encrypt, they [made HTTPS a (small) positive ranking signal][1] back in 2014, and they're even using Chrome to push HTTPS adoption by [making the security problems with HTTP more visible to users][2].

Maybe eventually, but not anytime soon. Programming will probably become easier and faster as time moves on and tools & methodologies improve (Past examples: c, debuggers, refactoring suites, TDD & continuous integration). Static analyzers are fairly rudimentary AI & are being used right now. This is probably our immediate future. AI will help make our programs better and allow us to program faster, but we'll still have to do the initial work ourselves. So AI will probably reduce the need for programmers, but probably won't eliminate it all together.

I actually am switching jobs in a week; I was offered the choice of a 13" or 15" MBP. I do web development, so Windows isn't really an option. Unfortunately, I can't choose Linux, since it doesn't run whatever management tool the org uses. But if I could have an XPS or ThinkPad with some flavor of Linux, I would probably do it, just to be contrary.

I'll just note that these patterns aren't universal. I have been a smoker for almost 20 years (with some prolonged breaks along the way (one lasting around 3-4 years)). I almost never smoke in the morning (and never did). I currently smoke no more than a pack a week, easily skipping several days at a time.

well the article had some issue's especially around coreos, but it's good that somebody points it out.

Actually CoreOS produced pretty stable stuff: etcd, fleet. Actually with fleet/etcd combined with some cgroups i see barely a reason to use docker, I mean on Cloud's its actually another useless layer, at least for me, maybe not in Google scale.

> Do we have any royalty free equivalent for AAC?

Yes. It's called "Opus".
>"There was a fundamental disagreement about how important it was to be in the hardware business,"

And that's not a settled answer. The two giants in mobile, Apple and Google, have diametrically opposite approaches. Apple has the entire verticle, from SOC to the OS. Google controls primarily the OS and application stack. Both are incredibly successful. Microsoft could never have been an Apple. But they could have been a Google. They could have had Android, and I don't think they would have complained if that was the case.

>Ballmer said the mistake was getting into handsets and tablets too late.

What is he talking about? Microsoft was in the handset and tablet business since the 90s. Their offering didn't resonate. They were also always afraid of cannibalizing their Office and Windows business. Their actions in the 90s and early 2000s also built up a lot of ill-will, so nobody was rooting for them.

>Apple Inc.'s iPhone would never sell because it cost too much? He now wishes he'd realized how Apple was going to make it work -- through mobile carrier subsidies.

That's also part of the problem. Ballmer was obsessed with Apple and while he focused on Apple, Android took over the market.
It seems I have seen a lot of posts on HN relating that Docker is not ready for production. I am using Docker in production on my small company for one year and it's working pretty well (maybe because we are still small).
Also their share of the laptop market, contrary to what the in-placement ads in TV shows and movies where everyone has a Mac laptop would have you believe, is far behind their competitors (HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc.) who collectively also run Windows, which is far ahead of OSX in terms of adoption. So both in the OS space and in the HW space they have a niche market share.

So, the question isn't whether it makes sense to continue the product lines, but whether their decisions will increase or hurt their market share and margins.

I have a hard time believing they stopped caring about laptop sales. Those ads cost money, as does the R&D and all the rest of it.
Whatever you want to call it when text can barely be read, falls out of alignment, or disapears entirely because a font renders at a fraction or multiple of the size of the desired font, despite being the same "size" in "centimeters" or "pixels" or "ems", or when hair-thin text that looks great on an iRetina is rendered on low-density screens, etc.
I think people trust too much generally. That's not going to change with any paradigm put forth. However if you're running binaries from vendors you don't trust, you're playing with fire even in a regulated app store.

Most people don't change their default browser, adding third party repos would be similar. Removing the ability for the owner of a device to install software they want fixes one symptom, not the main issue of trust. Also it makes your device into a glorified feature phone. No thanks.

It always strikes me that "getting out the vote" is very much like stuffing the ballot box through voters. If you cannot figure out, let alone be bothered to register to vote in 4 whole years; and then on top of it have to be babied and hand held to actually vote, how is it in any way reasonable to think that is a qualified person to cast a vote, let alone an informed vote.

It really actually is a contributing factor of the decline of our democracy because what does it matter being informed if informing and educating yourself means nothing because someone who doesn't have the foggiest idea can totally negate your vote. And as we all know, there are far more people who don't have the foggiest idea than the latter.

We really need qualified votes of some kind. Maybe you get points for attending government meetings, points for having voted in the past, points for family history in the country, etc. that all weight your vote. We currently have a quantitative voting system that totally voids all quality. It is precisely why politicians don't have to perform, because they are not being evaluated on quality, but rather the quantity of voters they can baby and hand hold to stuff the ballot boxes with.

Dangling images are just those that are not tagged. That happens if you create a new image and tag it with an already existing tag (e.g. latest).

Sure, it all hinges on cleaning up on a schedule, however you want to do that, cron is probably pretty popular. But the "hackiness" was due to a rudimentary approach, not because it inevitably needed to be a hacky process.
It's a stupid comment. An injection that has a small chance of making your infertile for an unknown amount of time, possibly forever, is useless. It's certainty that those participants need.

This quote tho:

"I wish I'd thought about the model of subsidizing phones through the operators," he said. "You know, people like to point to this quote where I said iPhones will never sell, because the price at $600 or $700 was too high. And there was business model innovation by Apple to get it essentially built into the monthly cell phone bill."

Apparently he didn't realize cell phone companies had been doing that for nearly a decade before the iPhone.
The stars aligned(aka Jobs was brilliant) with the iphone. $199 cheap enough for consumer(with subsidy).

> Uhh, the 2015 retina has a haptic touchpad.

indeed it does! i had to convince myself that it is so by trying to press the touchpad on my new mac when it was turned off. it's just "dead" in that state.

i remember hearing a lot of people complain about the "force touch" thing when it was released. i am super super sensitive to any part of a computer i have to touch, so i figured if anybody had a problem with it, i would as well. when my new mac arrived and i didn't notice anything strange about the touch pad, i just assumed i had one of the old reliable physical-button ones that i have come to know and love. so in this case, apple's hardware advance is okay with me.

... but i can name another thing i forgot that i am annoyed by: apple doesn't sell macs with matte screens anymore. i really don't like seeing my own reflection in the dark areas of the display. but they've managed to tone it down a bit. it's not as bad as it used to be in the original glossy screens they released.
"This concept of throwing away bits you don't need to save space is called lossy compression."

What a terrible introduction of lossy compression. This would mean that if I empty the thrash bin on my desktop, it's lossy compression.

The concept of going through all compression ideas that are used is pretty neat though.

> Firefox has a similar feature for HTTP-only sites using password fields

Man, people really don't think these things through, do they?

The end result of making that enabled by default would be that sites start using plaintext for their password fields. Try detecting <input name='password'> and sites start changing it to <input name='p4ssw0rd'> to get around it. Throw warnings on any POST submission and watch sites start using GET for passwords.

You can't force people into good practices. You need to make the HTTPS portion so easy that they have to go out of their way to undermine security. Let's Encrypt was a good first start. Now we need at least one competitor to them for free certificates to push innovation forward. And we need Apache and nginx to auto-negotiate TLS certificates and OCSP stapling with zero configuration changes. The default config should opt-in to this, and you'll have to manually disable it. Caddy was a good step there, but nobody uses Caddy. They use Apache, nginx, or IIS.
Comfortably running on the GAE free quota makes it more, not less likely to disappear unless you're there to move it when Google pulls the plug.

Agreed. But one attempted suicide and one successful suicide in a sample of 320 is not insignificant. This could be an anomaly, sure, but given that the average rate of suicide is 12.93 per 100,000 people [1], and it on average takes 25 attempts to produce a single death, this study should've expected no attempts at all. The fact that there was not only an attempt, but another successful attempt is not insignificant. The researchers were not mistaken when they decided to cut the study short, lest they be responsible for more deaths.

Have you read "the easy way to stop smoking"? He makes a great point about the claim that smokers don't actually enjoy it. It's addiction, thinking you enjoy it is a mechanism of avoiding the guilt of the addiction. Or something like that, his argument was much more convincing.
