Neat. You should be saving bandwidth costs also.
Once I learned I had Atrial Fibrillation (AF) I wrote an app that pulls my heart rate data from a normal consumer Polar chestband, then pushes it to a server where I can see it on Grafana.

It was incredibly useful, and helped me learn what the different feelings in my heart mean. I know exactly when I am in AF and when I am not.

There seems to be a huge gap for this kind of consumer grade offering, probably because the medical fraternity is extremely conservative about any technology, even though the alternative is ... nothing.
I did high school and college in India, so I understand your sentiment. Unlike developing countries which are now investing in their infrastructure/people, the US on the contrary is not investing in them as they used to (eg., education, technical training etc.). From what I was told by old timers, companies actually had training programs for their employees. Minus a handful of companies no company provides these kinds of benefits.

All companies at the end of the day look at their bottom line and see employees as a liability rather than an asset and this eventually hurts the middle class.
It's a little frustrating to see that Github is holding SAML hostage with a more expensive business plan. SAML integrations should be par for the course with any SaaS solution.
People should expect ethical behavior not only from startups but from any entity private or public. As a customer we have the right, or even an obligation, to say - If you're not ethical we don't want to do business with you. It's as simple as that.

In other words, companies are taking investment later and later in their lifespan so founders need to be sure thy have some left many years and many rounds after they started. Capital is dirt cheap and desperate for return - and only getting cheaper.
If they are indeed overreacting it still gives me comfort how quickly people respond with potential "fixes" to issues even if they are not an issue in the end.
It's submissions like this that demonstrates the extent to which user-contributed news aggregators are amplifiers for the prior assumptions—and obsessions—of the users doing the contributing.

My personal favorites are stories of the form "I don't like this Apple product, so Apple has lost touch and is doomed. Not that I've laid hands on the product. But still!"

But this one, an instance of "I have discovered the hidden-in-plain-sight plot by a popular service to commandeer your intellectual property!" is pretty good too.
I thought Aereo was a neat concept. I think the same concept applied to software defined radio would be awesome as well. In particular, I've often wanted to be able to stream far away FM radio stations, complete with the local commercials, as if I were truly there.
Why does any organisation? Why does the NRA? Perhaps it would be nifty to split the world into commercial entities without no permission to lobby, and political entities with no permission to deploy commercial activities, but that sure isn't this world.

In any case, the issue isn't political activism, it's the tastelessness of the threat. It also doesn't help that it exposes how this particular employee apparently felt no compunction in undermining what others in his business were working for - it sure looks like he wasn't actually handling in the best interests of his employer, and I can't imagine he didn't know it.

>Exactly what benefit to society does your taxi driver having a PHD provide?

That is an extreme example, but it doesn't really make any points.

In general, society benefits from each member striving to fulfill their potential. That doesn't mean everybody needs to have PhDs; in fact, I think more the opposite, that more people should be doing apprenticeships and attending trade schools. But in general, a society that has higher skill development will be more competitive in a global economy. That helps society as a whole, even more so in societies with less extreme wealth disparity.

I honestly don't know what you're advocating.

Are you saying some people shouldn't be allowed to get a PhD?
Or that somebody with a PhD shouldn't be able to change their mind and switch careers?
Or that it's a waste of time for people to pursue a PhD unless there's a direct and immediate benefit to society?

And maybe your hypothetical taxi driver's PhD dissertation actually did make a breakthrough contribution to society, but then she decided she didn't care for academia and has taken some time off to plan her next step and is moonlighting as an Uber driver in the interim. Is that enough benefit for you?

That question feels like it's making an awful lot of silly assumptions – though maybe I'm the one misinterpreting and making bad assumptions.

Hello Mr. or Ms. Cook,
I just applied for this position - I am looking for a junior position to fulfill my recently attained skills as a full stack developer that I learned from a local academy. A little about myself - I grew up in Carlsbad surfing for the past 20+ years, and now have found my new passion to learn coding. I told myself that I wouldn't surf until I landed a new job, so if the position is still available, I'd like to set up a time to meet.

Sincerely,
Shawn Jass

Once there is a scarcity of people who are willing to do this work, the price will automatically rise.

This presupposes that there is enough high-skilled work available and that all low-skilled workers are capable of obtaining higher qualifications. The later one is certainly not true and the former one seems at least questionable. And every time the demand in a high-skilled professions drops, those workers end up in the lower-skilled worker pools, at least temporary until they requalify for a different high-skilled professions.

The problem is that anyone can clean toilets. Its unpleasant, hard work, but requires no training.

That is my point, I want workers to be paid for the work they do, not for the training it required. Besides, as mentioned in the initial comment, to compensate for the the additional training time.

We need to lift as many people out of this through education and personal betterment as we can as quickly as possible.

Empirically this does not seem to work, otherwise we would see a narrowing gap, not a widening one. Also there are certainly people that are happy with the low-skilled work they are doing, besides the wage maybe, why do we have to force them out of it?
They could have avoided the bulk of these problems by the following:

5. License Grant to Other Users

If your project doesn't have a license attached, then the rights you provide GitHub and users are as follows:

You agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of your Content in repositories they control).

If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to access your Content through the GitHub Service, and to use, display and perform your Content, and to reproduce your Content.

Choosing a License for the repo supersedes the above rights declaration and reverts completely to the License of your choice.

___________________________________________

There's cases where I'm using someone else's GPL3 code. Im using it because of the GPL and am granted rights. I can't comply with the "rights" GH wants because I don't have them to give.

I also have projects that I'd like to share as GPL, but not as BSD or MIT. My choice. The existing version grants GH an effective BSD license for everything on there.
Lack of a web browser is a feature if you are a parent. The easier it is to control access to content, the better.
I'd imagine the highlighter wouldn't optimize for viewable area except for abnormally large files. Highlighter probably runs for the full file.

I've linked to this post from the top of the pirate/sites-using-cloudflare README. I'm glad that it's a refreshingly level-headed response that isn't placing the blame on Google or other caches. It's still down-playing the potential impact slightly, but at least it's a more thorough response than some of the HN comments we've been seeing from CF employees.

My advice to friends and family currently is to use their "log out all active sessions" buttons, and to reset only crucial passwords. As Techcrunch mentioned in their coverage, many sites will likely pay for identity theft insurance to cover the change of a leak, rather than force password resets and lose their users trust. It's a risk analysis that each site needs to make individually, and it may be the right call to eat the losses of ~10 possibly compromised users instead of forcing millions to reset their passwords.

The Github license requires a waiver of the requirement of attribution insofar as such waiver is needed for Github to do what it already does e.g. as the license indicates, provide search results without attribution.

Assuming github does have feature(s) that require additional privileges to the source beyond what the open source license provides, doesn't that preclude hosting any project where any single one of the contributors don't contribute via github? (ignoring CLAs and work for hire.) The uploader is unauthorized to grant a wider license to github than they received the code under, right?

I stand to be corrected, but I see nothing sinister, nefarious, or unwarranted by GitHub.

I wouldn't say they're being sinister, but I don't think that was the point. The point was that their cover-your-ass move is preventing a large number of open source projects from being hosted on the service in compliance with the ToS.
It's funny though, because I've heard tons of women, many of them progressive, from 20s to 60s, who eagerly acknowledge differences between men and women.

I have to think hard to recall otherwise. Usually it would be in context of a specific argument. Maybe I just don't know any hard core feminists.

I think the question you should ask is why can we not expect humans to act ethically. We are all human after all.
- Firefox does not belong to Eich, and Eich's words are not representative--good or bad they be--of Firefox users or Firefox developers.

- OKCupid blocking a certain browser to access their website means that who uses Firefox to use their service has to either agree the company and boycott Firefox themselves too or not use the service. That is, they forced those users to participate in the boycott.

- OKCupid is a company, so all of its actions are not only in the name of their executives, but also in the name of the users.

- What they did boiled down to a public shaming campaign, hurting, unjustly, not only a person who used their freedom to support a given political quest, but also a huge community around Firefox and Mozilla that had nothing to do with Eich's political tendencies. Free speech is not useful at all if we let the loudest to win.

What OKCupid did is probably defendable in front of law, but is completely unethical and exploitative. They tried to start a lynch to silence someone. It's no different to shaming someone for being homosexual or calling someone with the N word and excluding them. And it was an attempt to suppress freespeech, not an act thereof.

I haven't been following Atom, or other editors, very closely since I started using VS Code. But this team seems to be going at an incredible pace!!

Well done another superb release. Keep it up.
I'd argue the better analogy is "If you have a great idea, what's more important to get it to market: your first engineer or your first investor?"

The next is always going to be "well, do I have enough money to pay my engineer?" This is why the investor holds all the cards and therefore gets the best deal up front. Without that up-front money there is no eventual business.

I see 0 value in Snapchat. Besides, how is it even being monetized?

Edit: I meant 0 value as in 0 added value. See mrweasel's comment below for more details on the second point.
It may be the chicken or the egg, but, if you have some employee that can achieve something that others can't, he can go somewhere else and achieve the same. The money could be equally applied and it will not bring success. No money means failure but no employee means no chance of success, money or not.

No one seems to be mentioning that doing so would presumably screw over the NRA harder than Everytown. The target viewer for gun control content would presumably not be interested in an NRA ad, but the NRA is nonetheless paying to run it.

Show HN: Remove links to sites you'll never visit
I've made an experimental Firefox add-on[1] mostly to remove links to sites I know I never want to visit again (pay walls, register-to-view, or just general garbage).

It's not very polished. The only reason I registered it as an official add-on is so I can use it without having to load it manually every time I start FF. However, if anyone else is interested I'll polish it up, publish the source and other such niceties.

In general, it can be used to apply CSS to elements whose attribute values or text match the regular expressions.

To configure it: click the "Preferences" button in the Firefox "Add-Ons Manager"; copy the example JSON into the textarea; modify it any way you'd like; and click "Save". The example sets visibility to hidden on links to the sites in the list. If you hit up HN, you'll probably see a few hidden links on the front page.
