Stock and Bonds are very different things. A bond is an agreement with a company to hand back X amount of money at time Y. Stock is an agreement to share in future profits.

Importantly, when you buy stock from a someone other than the company then the price you pay has little to do with the company. But, again my point is risk is an inherent part of the process. If you invest in a startup and they use all of that money to buy government bonds and then fold in five years you would be pissed because they avoided risking your capital.
HN algorithm magic. You submit a leftist story (that is no propaganda but it just paints the world in its factual colors). The story gets upvoted quickly so it makes it to the front page (which will get it up voted even more). Then the magic invisible hand of the market appears and the story gets lost in HN underbelly.

Note to self: Why am I still bothering with HN? It is exactly like the general IT crowd. Anything worth discussing is not.
The cookware analogy is a really good one.

A similar one can be seen in the arts:

which you see here and there. As opposed to:

"That's an amazing painting. You must have really good brushes!"

(Disclaimer: I'm a photographer and I do know that the quality of the lens and sensor is going to play some role in the output, leaving aside things like Photoshop. But my point still stands.)

> patients pay for most drugs out of pocket, and their generic prices are actually not much lower than they are in the US[0]

But rayiner's entire point is about incentivizing R&D by allowing the collection of monopoly rents on patented drugs; he's not talking about generics. How the market for generics is structure has essentially no impact on R&D. And as you say, since Canada's generics are nearly as expensive as in the US, or are more expensive (see below), re-importing generics does not usefully push down prices.

I'll offer as an excellent case study in development and establishment of new scientific theory, the emergence of plate tectonics (or continental drift theory). Naomi Oreskes, a tireless advocate of real science, and debunker of pseudoscience and disinformation (see Merchants of Doubt) documents the four-century-long battle to establish the concept in her books PLATE TECTONICS: The Insiders’ History of the Modern Theory of the Earth and The Rejection of Continental Drift, along with several further articles on the topic.

> Siemens' telecom gear

Siemens hasn't been active in the telecom space for a while, they gave up on this business more than 10 years ago. Unify, formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications (majority-owned by Gores Group since 2008), has been a 100 % subsidiary of Atos for over a year now.
I have been working on this recently, using nginx as the reverse proxy. Nginx makes it pretty trivial to limit requests based on various factors, like request rate, number of connections, etc. A post like https://lincolnloop.com/blog/rate-limiting-nginx/ has snippets that show how it works.

But the simplification is that you do not need to write any application code. I can very easily have certain routes or domains limited differently by updating the nginx config. Especially in a microservices world I am trying to avoid having to update N services to get all of them to be rate limited.
> IIRC the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird was Atticus Finch, who is male.

The story is told from the perspective of his daughter Jean Louise Finch, who ambiguously introduced herself by her nickname "scout".

> would "not bat an eye to learn that there are female surgeons"

I can see where I miswrote "learned". I meant that in the context of reading a story, as in reading that in some particular context (like this riddle) that a surgeon is female.

> hearing otherwise would be news to you, which of course would be hugely biased.

Of course that is not the case. I am well aware that there are totally competent female surgeons. That is what I mean by saying "I would not bat an eye". The context in which I would be surprised is the context of this riddle: Since I am male, and since English grammar has historically assumed a male descriptor, my first assumption in this riddle is that the surgeon is male. My point is that that assertion does not stem from the word surgeon, and the historically significant gender gap with surgeons. The assertion that the surgeon is male stems from the ambiguity of "surgeon". The riddle does not state, or even directly call into question the gender of the surgeon. In order to answer the riddle, the gender must be assumed to be either male or female. The answer to the riddle is the most likely conclusion, but because of the grammar used, it is not my first conclusion. My first conclusion (that "father" meant someone with children other than the "son"), was in fact not incorrect, but was indeed less likely.
You'll get surprises such as your subclass being indexable when you (probably) don't want that.
Another way to add a fast, distributed rate-limiting on top of your APIs is by using an API Gateway [1] like the open-source Kong [2]. This pattern is becoming a standard since it saves time from re-implementing and duplicating the same rate limiting logic in each backend microservice.

Computational and Inferential Thinking
You're moving the goalpost. Your initial claim was that the idea was promoted "to prove that science has nothing over politics".

None of the major exponents or scholars of this concept of whom I'm aware -- Bohr, Kuhn, Oreskes, and others -- have as their primary motivation any desire to demote or debunk science. If you're going to make that claim, you'll have to substantiate it. You've failed to do so. Twice.
And yet, it's possible to get fairly rich doing it: a friend of mine recently retired (in his 40s) after selling his ~decade-old catering business for FU money.

The author needs a good editor. There's something consistently "off" in both the style and the personality of this article.

The piece isn't supposed to get to any point, really, because it's long-copy marketing. The whole idea is to keep you expecting a point for as long as possible, without delivering, then stop, hoping you decide to give the writer('s company) money.
Reminds me of a website I built once (more like a side project) where I anticipated heavy loads and all sorts of nefarious users / bad situations so I spent a good chunk of time implementing and testing rate limiters into most of the critical requests.

The question is whether politics and science
are equivalently grounded...

Maybe that's how you most frequently encounter this topic, but it's a gross overstatement to say that's the only question here. Was Planck was motivated by anti-science sentiment when he said that? I suspect not.

No one seriously debates whether politics is a factor in science. AFAICT, the the question is entirely to what degree politics influences the progress of science. In my experience, even people with relatively radical views understand this.
Many schools do not make proper use of computer labs.

- workshops for chess and go

- use one of the awesome open source software for chemistry, geometry, astronomy, etc...

Only use for computers is for people to write documents, search online, print and... waste a lot of time on games, social networks.

I've used the Pomodoro technique religiously for the last year. Some interesting conclusions that I drew from my yearly review:

1) I have a maximum sustainable rate of about 8 pomodoros (4 hours) high focus work per day. This can be temporarily overridden, but I work much less the following days.

2) Bimodal days seem to work best for me. One big block in the morning, followed by a long-ish lunch, and then another big block in the afternoon. Similar to PG's essay on maker vs. manager schedule.

3) Having many small unrelated tasks is inversely correlated with number of pomodoros completed. Usually I get the most pomodoros in when I have 2 big tasks for the day.
Yes sure, I'm reasoning in Italian terms where the retirement is always handled by the government, so for you not getting the retirement at all the whole country must fail, which is not impossible in the case of Italy... but well, if it happens, you are likely to have issues anyway. To clarify, even if you work for a private company or you are a self-employed person, you give money every year in order to have your retirement. The money is provided directly to the government, that will later handle your retirement sending you monthly checks. So it does not matter what happens to your original company, IF you provided money during your work-life, you'll get the money back in form of "pension" check. Btw with this system, you cannot retire when you wish, there are age limits and number of years of work limits.
> don't have as much faith in the market delivering 6% returns over the long term

A 6% return is not equivalent, because a 6% return would still leave you with $1m at the end of the day (or your life). An equivalent return for a 25 year period would be about 4%, and I defy you to find a diversified portfolio that can't return 4% over 25 years...
Socialism and populism are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Quite often socialism takes the form of populist socialism (think Bernie Sanders or Chavez).

Also, I think anyone who voted Trump to generate populist change, are likely getting a raw deal. The administration is loaded with Billionaires and business leaders, the opposite of populism. And, they've already set about enacting changes that negatively affect average people, like rolling back privacy protections, and pushing for health reforms that would cause 20 million people to lose insurance coverage, while according to the CBO raising costs.
Chromebooks, quizlets, etc. ARE working in my kids schools. There is a lot of time and money spent teaching the teachers, and there is a high % of teachers with specialized training to start with.

It's HN users who are more guilty of the biases in this thread.

i'm still super pissed at the changes they made to search in tweetdeck recently. ( see announcement here https://twitter.com/TweetDeck/status/842044139587928064 ).

now each time you click the search icon on the left hand side, when you do a search in the pop up box, rather than inline the results in the pop-up search window (all still on the left hand side), it now automatically generates a new column. for each search. that appears to the right of the last column in tweetdeck.

as a ux decision this is awful. searches in tweetdeck were ephemeral. you search, 99% of the time you close your search once satisfied with the results, and that was it. the number of times you actually want to convert a search into a permanent column is very small.

as it is with the changes to search every single time you search now you instantly generate a new column. if you dont delete each search the columns just keep on building up and up. this is an awful and unrequested change to tweetdeck search, and there seems to be zero public facing community managers for tweetdeck who this can be raised with.

You're right. I wasn't surprised, though (okay, I was, a bit, since I was a kid when I heard this, and also wasn't like that myself - usually was interested in all the subjects I took [1], and did well on most). It was more like I was just commenting on the parent comment to mine, by cgriswald.

[1] One exception was organic chemistry in high school. Never could get my head around it, though I did fine in inorganic. I think it had to do at least partly with the fact that in organic, you have to memorize much more (e.g. molecules and their transitions - hardly remember much now), whereas in inorganic, you have to use logic and deduction and problem-solving skills more.

Paycove allows your sales team to automatically generate and collect invoices from your deal-flow on BaseCRM. We've worked carefully with our clients to build a product that saves time and reduces your invoice collection timelines.

Once a deal is moved to a “pending close” stage in Base, an invoice is automatically created. All relevant information is pulled directly from Base into the contract, which is then sent to the primary contact via email, and noted on your Base Deal for easy reference.

Paycove uses Stripe as it's payment processor, allowing you to collect, refund, and monitor payments from Paycove. You may also handle charges very granularly from Stripe's Dashboard. Stripe's security measures are best in the industry, making sure that your customers' information is safe.

Paycove also stays in sync with your BaseCRM and Stripe accounts to give you an overview of useful statistics about your invoices. Monitor your conversion rate, and average time-to-payment from your Paycove Dashboard.

We offer a free 14 day trial to test it out.

We love hearing from you, so please reach out if you have any comments or questions!

Doesn't matter what you call it, if you're withdrawing money every month your portfolio should be mostly bonds.

Model it yourself, calculate what a 30% drop in the stock market next year would do to your portfolio. If you're a long term investor, an 80/20 stock/bond split makes sense.

But if you regularly withdraw 4% of original capital inflation adjusted, a model that incorporates the possibility of a 30% drop will show you why you need more bonds.

And show you why 4% is unrealistic and why a 5% annuity is a good deal.

I have a friend who literally had the exact same experience a week ago. She rented her apartment to a guy for one night, and he proceeded to have a massive party filled with drugs, prostitutes, and God knows what else. Her apartment was subsequently degraded and destroyed beyond all recognition.

Thus far, Airbnb's response to her has been extremely non-reassuring. Hopefully they will do more in the coming week and remedy the situation. If not, expect a longer post with pictures soon.

It's stuff like this that gives Airbnb a bad name, and makes many people hesitant to ever use the service. I hope someone at Airbnb realises that pinching pennies and not helping hosts when they get screwed, is really going to hurt Airbnb itself in the long run.

> But rayiner's entire point is about incentivizing R&D by allowing the collection of monopoly rents on patented drugs.

I'm pointing to the generics as an illustration of Canada's pharmaceutical prices not being as controlled as people often think. (In fact, in Canada they're not controlled directly at all - they're simply pegged by law to other countries which set their own prices).

I actually agree with rayiner's point about incentivizing R&D by allowing (temporary) collection of monopoly rents on patented drugs. I'm just saying that they should be collecting those monopoly rents from all countries that consume the drugs. Right now, they basically collect them only in the US, and allowing reimporting from other countries which respect US patent laws would ensure that all countries are contributing towards that in proportion to the amount that they actually consume the results of the R&D.
You need to compare the %GDP on teacher salary's vs overhead to see where America falls down. Remember, the US system is focused on getting as much government funding into corporate hands. So, paying teachers provide little value, but textbooks, technology, and testing goes directly to company's that know how to keep the pork flowing. http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/multimedia/map-how-per-pupi...

At a ballpark a 30 student class might be ~12,000$ per student, but a starting teacher salary is on average ~45,000. Pay the teacher 120k (including benefits) and that's still only 1/3 of the total cost. (NYC pays over 20k per student and pays teachers $54,000 - $119,000 annually.) http://www.teachingdegree.org/new-york/salary/
