Yes I think you are right about their current situation.

The federal goal however is never what the people of Europe were sold. This mission was essentially hidden to the people of the countries as it was sold as a trade union. They likely knew that the people of these countries would be almost completely opposed to the United State of Europe and so very slowly and quietly implemented measures to achieve it. With the new calls for an EU Army one step closer to this I think we will see greater resistance to the grander project.

If the federalists give up on their hidden dream of the Europe becoming a single country, they can save the EU.

This will come as a surprise to Merck, which recently bought Cubist to boost their antibiotics research arm, and which is actively funding research in that area.

Or GSK, which has partnered with a bunch of European universities to develop new antibiotics against gram negatives.
thanks for the replies everyone
I don't think this is true. When we initially found out about antibiotics, in about 15 years we got to about 5 working general purpose antibiotics (general = works against pretty much every pathogen). Since then we've found 1 more, in over 70 years.

Even if this new drug turns out to be a total success, counting on finding new drugs in the near future seems to be an extremely long shot. It's not going to happen. Rates of discovery predict availability of future drugs.

Furthermore the rate at which bacteria adapt to drugs has also increased. Adaptation happens faster and faster. While I don't know how that applies to this particular drug, a naive extrapolation would seem to indicate it won't last half a decade.
Not a fan of Trump but this is a good thing. See this exert from John Oliver on the effect of such trade deals; https://youtu.be/6UsHHOCH4q8

And that's the existing trade deals, TPP would have made it much worse. There is a reason why democratically elected governments need to protect their sovereignty. The scope of the legal provisions along with the requirement to use easily corruptible mediation is superfluous to free trade.

In addition, I don't understand those that think boxing out Russia and China from the rest of Europe and Asia is a good thing.

Similarly, be careful not to generalize this to all libertarians...

Most libertarians have varying stances that all develop from the non-aggression principle ("in a free society, you have the freedom to do whatever you want so long as it does not infringe on the rights of anybody else.") I have never heard a compelling argument against the NAP, because it can be interpreted so broadly. Even some of the pro-no-asking-questions people on this thread are using the NAP, if unwittingly, to justify their positions.
Phages are being researched. This literally comes up in every single HN thread on antibiotics, so once more, posting my "Why Phages Aren't the Answer" shortlist. Note that I love phage therapy - this is the problems as seen by someone who doesn't think it's a dead end.

Phage therapy is neat, it really is, but there are a couple major issues:

- There is no such thing as a "broad spectrum" phage. You can't do empirical treatment using phages, and there's not really "off the shelf" phage therapy - it tends to be a bespoke creation for a particular infection.

- There's some serious regulatory problems, similar to those experienced by fecal transplant treatments. We're not yet really equipped to think about handling evolving, custom microbes as a treatment. - Because of the first, it's going to require a considerable amount more lab capacity than most clinical settings currently have, and considerable delays until treatment.

- There's also some biosafety issues around phage prep, but those are easily solvable. It's a great way to treat particularly resistant or hard to treat infections, but it's not a particularly great general solution. There's a reason it was abandoned in countries with easy access to antibiotics - they're just roundly superior in basically every respect.
> I think empirically history shows that lack of regulation can be as bad as too much regulation.

You cannot stop every bad things in the world. Otherwise you will end up creating more unstability and, as a result, worse things.

Libertarianism/Free-Market does not claim to iradicate all the bad things humans do to each other. It just that it will give you best fighting/winning chance.

> The reality is more of a balance, and black-and-white faith in the free market solving everything looks more and more to me at least as a dangerous delusion.

You got it opposite. Its the libertarians believe that world is too complex to be understood by one entity and better left to multiple entities (aka market). Libertarians wont go around claiming they understand the intention of every employers and ban them for asking certain questions.

Free-Market is smallest abstraction. Free-market can reduce to Statism if there is a demand. But Statism wont reduce to free-market.

This time looking at this, I notice they have Dockerfile.rpi.

the kicker for moving to gogs from gitlab was that gogs had a prebuilt official rpi image... but it was several version behind the x86 one. I have no issues building images myself, but usually it feels like a lot of hoops to jump through to make things work on rpi. Having an rpi dockerfile really just makes me feel extra comfortable about things - not having to worry about weird x86 only dependencies and having to resolve them myself.

I'm curious to see if the markets react to this. In the grand scheme of things, one trade deal shouldn't move the markets that much -- but the reasoning behind this withdrawal from the TPP is nothing at all approaching any of the real reasons one might be opposed to it -- the cause for this withdrawal is pure unfiltered sabre-rattling protectionism. "Let the trade wars commence and America intends to 'win'." The level of stupid behind that notion is nigh on incomprehensible -- and yet -- here we are.
As insane as it sounds, the brutality and extreme loss of life in the Battle of Okinawa was a deciding factor in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. According to wikipedia, every male citizen over the age of 18 died over the course of the 82 day battle. Over 20,000 American soldiers died, and somewhere between 75,000-110,000 Japanese and Okinawan soldiers died.

The argument is that a land invasion would have resulted in far more than the 129,000 people killed by the two bombs.

The increasing cost relates to drug companies running out of useful simple molecules. If you count the number of new drugs that treat common problems aka more than 100,000 people per year in the US and are not closely related to another drug you get a very tiny number of new drugs per year.

Sure we have a lot of drugs related to Morphine, but most of them are not significantly different from Morphine as to be worth high prices. When viagra goes generic at the end of the year the hurdle for the next male 'enhancement' drug ratchets up.

One approach is to publish in one of the archives. For example, http://www.arXiv.org or http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr. These are not truly archival publications, but they are where the action is these days. Another approach--join a technical society (e.g., the Association for Computing Machinery or the IEEE) and submit papers for publication to their archival journals. You can publish small short papers at various blogging sites. For example, http://www.medium.com, which has become very popular as of late as a browse of HN will verify.

No result is real until it has been published.

SDF Celebrates 30 years of service in 2017!

On June 16th, 1987 Ted Uhlemann (handle: charmin, later iczer) connected his
Apple ][e's 300 baud modem to the phone line his mother had just given him
for his birthday. He had published the number the night before on as many
BBSes around the Dallas Ft. Worth area that he could and he waited for the
first caller. He had a copy of Magic Micro BBS which was written in Applesoft
BASIC and he named the BBS "SDF-1" after his favorite Japanimation series
ROBOTECH (Macross). He hoped to draw users who were interested in anime,
industrial music and the Church of the Subgenius.

Slowly, SDF has grown over all these years, never forgetting our past and
unlike many sites on the internet, we actually have a past. Some people
today may come here and see us as outdated and "retro". But if you get
involved, you'll see it is quite alive with new ideas and a platform
for opportunity to try many new things. The machines are often refreshed,
the quotas are gone, the disk space is expanding as are the features (and
user driven features at that) and our cabinets have plenty of space for
expansion here in the USA and in Europe (Germany).

Think about ways you'd like to celebrate SDF's 30th and join us on the
'bboard' to discuss what we could do.

I realize many of you have likely moved on yourselves, but I just wanted
you to know we're still here and we'll keep doing new and exciting things
with a foundation in the UNIX shell.

Sincerely,

Stephen Jones (SMJ)

>The 2.X => 3.X transition really appears to have been bungled here, which is a shame.

Obviously, the question is what went wrong.

Personally I think the dev team gave users too much time to switch.

The Python devs should have only given users one or two years to upgrade. Making it clear that all support for Python 2 would end after that period.

Another mistake was that when originally released Python 3 did not offer enough shiny new things to convince people that going through the pain of upgrading was worthwhile.

They made this worse by backporting features from Python 3 to Python 2, something they should have never done. Python 2 should not have gotten any new features after the release of Python 3.

Python 3 advocates like to blame the users for not upgrading, but I think that is / was simply the result of the actions of the dev team which made staying with Python 2 too comfortable and moving to Python 3 not attractive enough.
Alternatively, these countries will sign trade deals with China instead with fewer worker protections and be required to accept China's territory claims as a consequence. China will grow its economic hegemony over other countries, while the US will be ignored outside of military actions.

The Enigma is a neat machine. I wrote a Java iButton applet that emulated one and in doing research for that came across the rotor patent (https://www.google.com/patents/US3984922) this patent was filed in 1944 but it issued in 1976. October 12th to be precise. One month before the Data Encryption Standard (DES) came out as a FIPS standard. How Enigma worked had remained classified for decades after the war ended, that is a pretty strong endorsement for this remarkable machine.

The partisanship in the US traces primarily to the voting system. Replace it with something like range voting or approval voting and you would have twelve parties instead of two, at which point passing anything would require a coalition government and cooperation with other parties would be a mandatory prerequisite for government action.

Thats not NAP if rights is anything but right to be not physically assulted.

Said antibiotics are most often used for growth promotion, rather than to treat disease. That's becoming less common, but it's still a complex problem.
I'm sure a lawyer would find some non technical analogy to help explain the concept.

It isn't a trick...Some of the approved domains have no IP addresses directly associated with them. You have to traverse a reference to another domain name, not on the list, to get to an actual IP address.

Now if that traversal is by something called a CNAME or something called an MX, does it matter?
As someone who used to work in the phage area there are in fact "broad spectrum" phages. The problem is the methods used by most groups to isolated phages selects for narrow host range phages. My group isolated hundred of broad host range phages by using a better protocol.

You are right that phage therapy is very challenging under current regulations. If we want phage treatments we are going to need to change how drugs are licensed.

Back in the day (2000-2005), Oracle on Solaris was rock solid. There was basically no better platform or database configuration that was better than this, including SQL Server/Windows 2000/2003, etc.

It's a shame that Solaris is basically dead, but Linux killed them swiftly by being "good enough" on commodity hardware, and then Oracle did a coup de grace with their death-embrace by buying them. It's a shame, because so many great things were being done by Sun.

"value investing" gets thrown around a lot without proper attribution. It's a very specific investment style proposed by Ben Graham.
The reason why I like attribution is
a) I know that it's the specific thing being talked about
b) It gives credit to the originator of the ideas ( especially in the investing circles) since investing is an area where a lot of charlatans like to take advantage of gullible people by looking smart.
That's just advertising, right? When sales are low, investing in increasing sales sounds like a good strategy.
I tried Elm with much enthusiasm, but ended up putting it aside it for now (0.17) after being bored by JSON decoding (of big, deeply nested API response objects). Could there be a way to more succinctly (declaratively?) express my data types and keep Elm's awesome typing/compiler guarantees, but avoiding the painful construction of repetitive, nested, boring decoders?

noredink's json-decode-pipeline [1] seems better than what Elm offers out of the box, but it still feels like a lot of ceremony for something mundane. People building webapps [2] to help users generate boilerplate code seems like a hint something's wrong, isn't it?

It's nice to see I'm not completely alone on HN in defending the concept of national sovereignty these days, because often it can be a very lonely field to argue about.

Having spent a lot of my time since getting out of the military trying to understand the bigger geostrategic picture, I am fairly confident in saying the national sovereignty is one of the most important, and most under-discussed, issues of our time as we progress towards an increasingly global economy. The global economy itself is here, and I am not disputing that the world needs more cooperation on international issues such as global climate change, but far too often I see these arguments being used to then turn around and use those issues to advocate overthrowing the idea of sovereignty, which I find is logically fallacious reasoning, callous, naive, and can only imagine such touting comes from the ivory tower of intellectuals, academics and other insulated peoples who haven't experienced the stark reality of this world when the sovereignty of nation states is violated.

In short, those who call for an end of nationalism fail to understand the proper and right role of sovereignty in the apllication of the rule of law, and in the ability for the people to affect their government.

My question for those who propose national sovereignty as being an outdated concept, I have one question:

What would you propose to replace the nation-state with once you toppled it down?
Can I re-phrase your question?

"Why do we allow people to voluntarily hand over their own information at their own will?"

Sounds much different when its phrase properly and not accusatory.
Do you have a link to a paper on that protocol? I'd be interested in reading more about it, because I've never encountered a phage-prep technique intended for clinical use that wasn't targeted.
No, the problem is that Python 3 sucked, and still sucks.

Twisting your user's arms even more painfully won't solve the problem, it will just accelerate users switching away to other languages or forks.
There is no such thing as "free market economists". That was halfly my point. They are statists in disguise.

> Obviously, only a fool would stay here if their condition of living is worse here

The problem is hundreds of millions of people have a very low standard of living; an order of magnitude lower than the average American.

5 people living in the same room earning half of the current federal US minimum wage is a huge increase in quality of life for hundreds of millions of people.

You aren't explaining how an increase in supply for low level jobs, an increase in the demand for housing, an increased demand on infrastructure (police, roads, etc), etc is a benefit to US citizens and will result in a better quality of life for them.

> However, from a principled libertarian point of view

And why should we care about a principled libertarian point of view?

They tend to be ideologues who care more about reasoning from principles than actual real world outcomes.
Because some people are hateful by nature and see Guido as Satan incarnate for "hating Python 2".

And no, I'm not exaggerating, you just need to look at the comments:

https://github.com/naftaliharris/placeholder/issues/47#issue...

I read through that thread the other day and it breaks my heart to know that there are people who think like that. Honestly.

On various occasions I've reasoned (and not reasoned) with the most absurd people, there is always some way to understand where the craziest of logic comes from. But here, I'm just sad.

And I'm especially sad because I've seen similar comments on HN (even just the other day). So really, this goes out to anyone who works in tech and feels like this either about Python or about any open source project: Treat your FOSS maintainers with some human decency.

It's not the first time I say it, and every time I say it there's always some people nodding at this; "oh yes, of course, well who acts like that really?", those same people turning around a week later, flaming Lennart Poettering for whatever software du jour the guy wrote.

> Another mistake was that when originally released Python 3 did not offer enough shiny new things to convince people that going through the pain of upgrading was worthwhile.

This is the core issue, but you're putting cart before horse a bit: if there's not much to gain from switching, why would any reasonable person switch? And, most importantly, why is it a problem that needs solving at all?
