There's just no way this is going to compete with Chromebook which you can install Ubuntu as well or buying any slightly older laptops and installing ubuntu.

what is the minimum cost of such "slim" devices? I'm optimistic that Chromebook will come down in prices and armed with built in cellular connectivity with ARM processor for that all day battery life is the ultimate dev tool.

I enjoy using last year's macbook but I equally enjoyed using Ubuntu on my older laptop for development purposes.
Many counties prohibit this use via land use regulations defining this activity as camping and providing for a maximum time you may camp on your land. So it is likely not something you can do in a large part of the US.
"Rights to the London treatment were sold to the biotech company Cellectis, and the treatment is now being further developed by the drug companies Servier and Pfizer."

And that's when it will get sunk into an abyss of bureaucratic processes and this treatment probably won't see sunlight for another ten years.
So here's the thing: What if the only people who can fix "inequality" are those who fall into the "have not" category? What if they have less because of their own fault?

There are a lot of good points in this article but this comment overlooks one thing:

"I’ll admit there still may be an outside chance that some consortium will fund and execute a mission to send a few poor, intrepid souls on a one-way trip to live short lives on Mars in a gruesome experiment, televised for all to watch."

There are people willing to make the one-way trip, and the ethics of this have been discussed at length [1]

But it seems to me that the one thing we would have to probably "let go" of is worrying about "contaminating" Mars.

It appears the treatment was a single dose.

" Two infants with relapsed refractory CD19+ B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia received lymphodepleting chemotherapy and anti-CD52 serotherapy, followed by a single-dose infusion of UCART19 cells"[1]

With that context, it's potentially cheaper than other therapies.

Yes, the author is serious that investors worry about losing billions of dollars. If your house or savings became worthless overnight, I suspect you'd be worried too.

It's a statement of fact. If UCARTs come to prominence on the market, Kite & Juno no longer appear to be the only game in town (or even the only CAR-T game in town!). Toss in some grade IV/V events in their clinical trials, and an investor in these companies might have reason to worry.

Individuals and societies can have conflicting priorities. Sometimes the same individual may be conflicted (plenty of oncologist friends invest in various companies, and are distressed if a competing company's drug blows their holdings' product out of the water, even as they consider switching patients to the more effective drug). Put differently, you can own a Tesla and hold Exxon stock ... and that does not make you a bad person.

Infant leukemia is (thankfully) rather rare. Nobody who's ever seen a cold, gray infant in a morgue drawer would ever say that those lives are worth less than some company's profits. But they might regret investing in the company!

One of the primary criteria I had in choosing which university to attend was one where i could interact with the types of people i never met before... people from different nations, ethnicities, religions, etc. A homogenous area like the one i grew up in has very homogenous thinking and anything outside of it was considered taboo.

> Two kids lives were saved with a potentially inexpensive technique

Potentially saved. They did get traditional therapy first. This type of conclusion is really premature. Don't get me wrong, this is super exciting. But the reason we have standardized clinical trials is to ensure treatments work reliably and consistently across as many humans as possible.
Though none of those things are life and death so not sure relevant.
Farther back in the history of the demonization of marijuana you'll find it's connected to an argument used by fundamental Christians, Evangelical Christians, related to demons, spirits and the spirit world. Now combine that with fundamental republican right.
The problem IMO is you just say Linux isn't there yet.

You state it like a fact. You say it with no reservation about this being a very high resolution display etc.

In my opinion it wouldn't be less serious if I said Mac and Windows aren't really there yet because their package managers really doesn't compare to apt. Note: I don't say this. (At least not anymore : )

I built a robot with tensorflow running on the raspberry pi to do autonomous driving and computer vision: http://www.jtoy.net/portfolio/

I'm working on the next version to make it more useful, but all the technology is not there yet, I want the robot to be able to understand speech and talk back to users. I also want the robot to be able to play games with people. I think the platform has a lot of potential. I want Google to release a low power tensor processing unit made for the pi to make this more useful. This will open up a lot of doors for robot and AI enthusiasts. I'm looking to turn this into a platform, contact me if this is of interest to you.
Let me see if I understand your points:

1. You ensure your FB account isn't valuable, in order to decrease the bad effects of it being hijacked.

2. You argue that hardening against hijacking means eventually the stakes of hijacks get higher, and therefore we shouldn't be hardening. Is that correct understanding? If so, that's short-sighted at best.

Many accounts are extremely valuable. It can be in terms of actual money, career, influence, politics, etc. For some people it is the primary vehicle for their livelihood. Same goes for many other online services, that open possibilities for people to earn a living, partake in politics/governance, and maintain social relations that they otherwise could not.
Economic interest, fear (for a threatened ideology), and anger as motives for your aptly labeled "political vandalism" don't seem mutually exclusive. Further more I don't think the author was as naive as you think, as he posits that disruption of traditional state vs federal power distributions economic inequity, and ideological claustrophobia, all contribute to a seemingly nation-wide impulse to endorse the political "wrecking ball", i.e., Donald Trump.

We're working on something that I think is really good for PRs and code review. It's part way done, and already I think it's a big improvement in usability over the web based interface on github.com. But, in the interest of shipping Ship, we had to cut it from this 2.0 release.

This isn't that strange. The police (more public than secret service) and national cyber crime team (also public) are very open in hiring IT and especially infosec talent from the industry, universities and at conferences. They even commercially sponsor IT related news outlets and communities and organise hacker challenges to recruit talent in that space.

By far the biggest part of what those teams do isn't secret and fits within the law. The "problem" is that Dutch law is very liberal on wire tapping, decryption etc as long as there is a reasonable suspicion and/or court order. Actually not far behind the rubber stamping in the US, but without the limitation that they can't target our own citizens (so: much worse than the US for locals, but similar for foreigners)

Obviously the military and domestic secret service hire the same people and have even wider abilities within the law and quite a wide grey area. Most of the public doesn't care enough to make it a political topic, so nobody stops them.
They're kind of supported right now - in that they do show in the app and you can interact with them.

As the GitHub APIs for projects stabilize we'll look into more formal support.
'says Stephan Grupp, director of cancer immunotherapy at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, who collaborates with Novartis.'

I don't know if I would trust the opinion of somebody that 'collaborates' with one of the companies that has already lost millions trying a different approach and has the most to lose if this actually works. It even points this out earlier in the article - 'The ready-made approach could pose a challenge to companies including Juno Therapeutics and Novartis, each of which has spent tens of millions of dollars pioneering treatments that require collecting a patient’s own blood cells, engineering them, and then re-infusing them.'

If Linus wants a consistent commit message format, he should enforce it at the software level, rather than hoping people read a comment he left in a repository about logging his swimming information.

This does not mean that the format needs to be Markdown (which includes embedded HTML, so obviously not Markdown), or that all software needs a Markdown renderer. I'm not sure why you'd conclude that.
Granted I'm not sure the impact (if any) it has but holy crap that's a pretty one sided sponsors list for something that's not a partisan issue.

If a state level actor really wants the data in your laptop in a targeted manner, there's very little you can do. For starters, if that were really your situation, you wouldn't use OSX or Windows :-)

If your objective is instead to prevent data theft by identity thieves or commercial spies, the FileVault type precautions and standard security practices are probably good enough.
I tried "rm -rf". Not sure if it worked.
I highly recommend “Style: Toward Clarity and Grace,” by Joseph Williams. It’s by far the best advice on writing I’ve ever read. I learned about it from Norman Ramsey’s website [1], which has many other good resources. Another good book is the “HBR Guide to Better Business Writing,” by Bryan Garner.

We look at object SA, V, and geometry and without slicing estimate print time and material usage. From there we factor in other costs such as machine time, labor, and packing and shipping.

We don't compare to injection molding to calculate price. When we say price competitive between 1 and 10k units, it's based on avg IM mold and units costs. It's pretty hard to find data on that though.

Yeah, good point. We don't yet let users assign different units to different models in the same purchase on our website, but can add that feature!
To be specific--and maybe this only pertains to version 1.x--I found managing navigation state in our largest app to be quite clumsy and at times, downright perplexing. In Swift, managing navigation state is relatively easy to reason about, though it is a bit more laborious to implement.

The bigger issues were things like having access to leveraging background processes via Cordova. At last check, there was a plugin for backgrounding the app, but it came with a big, red warning that it may cause issues with Apple's App Store approval process.

Another issue was the dismal state of background geolocation. There is a commercial plugin; however, I found the maintenance schedule to be quite lacking. As well, the maintainer of the plugin was quite abrasive and impolite toward users raising valid issues.

It's no big secret that women are often bombarded by messages and other overtures on dating sites. Perhaps the "viewing males as more unattractive than they might otherwise" just stems from being primed for pickiness, especially on the Internet.

If you meet someone at a party, maybe he's a friend of a friend, you talk to him for a while, you might think "He seems like a reasonably handsome guy!" You see the same guy as a profile picture, out of a sea of 20 others messaging you at the same time, and you're just mentally primed for reasons to reject people, rather than accept them. You're more likely to think "Ugh, stupid haircut. 1/5 stars. Would not date"

So I don't think that women have unrealistic expectations of beauty, in general everyday life, it's just that the motivations and mindset is so much different on dating sites.

In fairness, that is mostly the fault of the world's various regulatory agencies. I mean, I understand that it's easy, when asked "How many people should die yearly of insufficiently tested medicine?" to answer "zero!", but that's kind of how medicine became so stale.
Programming is another creative process where it’s considered wasteful and ignorant to start from scratch.

If there’s already code that works, a programmer would be insane for attempting to recreate it.

Is it just me, or is "throw it away and rewrite from scratch, get it right this time" so incredibly common that it's a programming trope in itself? Along with "programmers want to write from scratch because it's fun, nobody wants to do maintenance" ?

Dan Harmon (the creator of Community, and Rick and Morty) has phrased it as "prove you suck". From his reddit AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5azrwi/im_dan_harmon_...) (paragraph breaks added; nothing edited):

> ...if you simply change your goal from "writing well" to "writing badly," you will be a veritable fucking fountain of material, because guess what, man, we don't like to admit it, because we're raised to think lack of confidence is synonymous with paralysis, but, let's just be honest with ourselves and each other: we can only hope to be good writers.

> We can only ever hope and wish that will ever happen, that's a bird in the bush. The one in the hand is: we suck. We are terrified we suck, and that terror is oppressive and pervasive because we can VERY WELL see the possibility that we suck. We are well acquainted with it. We know how we suck like the backs of our shitty, untalented hands. We could write a fucking book on how bad a book would be if we just wrote one instead of sitting at a desk scratching our dumb heads trying to figure out how, by some miracle, the next thing we type is going to be brilliant.

> It isn't going to be brilliant. You stink. Prove it. It will go faster. And then, after you write something incredibly shitty in about six hours, it's no problem making it better in passes, because in addition to being absolutely untalented, you are also a mean, petty CRITIC. You know how you suck and you know how everything sucks and when you see something that sucks, you know exactly how to fix it, because you're an asshole.

> So that is my advice about getting unblocked. Switch from team "I will one day write something good" to team "I have no choice but to write a piece of shit" and then take off your "bad writer" hat and replace it with a "petty critic" hat and go to town on that poor hack's draft and that's your second draft. Fifteen drafts later, or whenever someone paying you starts yelling at you, who knows, maybe the piece of shit will be good enough or maybe everyone in the world will turn out to be so hopelessly stupid that they think bad things are good and in any case, you get to spend so much less time at a keyboard and so much more at a bar where you really belong because medicine because childhood trauma because the Supreme Court didn't make abortion an option until your unwanted ass was in its third trimester.

I was told that by GV support, but I'm struggling to find any other likely source for it.

I removed all redirections from my GV number and tested:

- I called from my home and cellphone, both hangouts and GV ringed.

- I asked my family and friends to try the number and it worked fine.

- Then I asked a recruiter who was having trouble and he got the recording.

- Same recruiter called using his personal cellphone, it worked fine.

While speaking with this recruiter on a different line, I asked him to put his phone on speaker and try calling, I was able to hear him getting the recording...

I did all this before trying to contact google voice support. To me, it looks as thought GV is in denial there might be an issue on their side and refused to look into it.

I speculate there is something wrong in the way calls get routed to GV from certain providers, or some sort of spam caller filter is blocking recruiters who might have been wrongly reported as "telemarketers" by google voice users.

It's really not that hard in this case.

Don't wrap lines with a four-space prefix (or whatever format is decided), wrap lines without one. Allow users to disable the wrapping if they prefer wrapped code. The prefix can be stripped at display time if you wish, so that code is left-aligned - actually, since the formatting isn't encoded in the log, only the semantics, users can configure the display as they please.

Possible handle lines beginning with - as lists and indent them correctly. If a message somehow breaks the format, do not accept it. This isn't TeX-level complexity.
No. This idea that the "left" ignored rural America is completely unfounded. The left did no such thing. The left did, however, choose not to make idiotic and unfulfillable promises that things would go back to the way they were when someone could drop out of high school and get a $30/hour manufacturing job.

The left is constantly trying to help rural and middle America. Job retraining programs, expanding healthcare, providing more for education. These are all things the left has done.

Just so tacky. A sign of times to come?

(Yeah, I'm sure the marketing and financial departments of Reebok/Adidas did a lot of collaboration with Boeing to pull this off.)
