>The notion that every practicing doctor has enough free time - or is even smart enough - to keep up on the latest pharmaceuticals, is ridiculous.

That's part of the doctor's job, if they can't keep up with new medical/pharma literature then they need to find a different job. Further, most doctors know taking a ton of info from a pharma rep is just asking to be misinformed. A lot of pharma sales reps have no science background and many lie about approved populations and other aspects of a drug (just see the many, many lawsuits out there).
Ask HN: Is it possible to make a VPN that cannot log traffic?
i.e. the same way Signal has end to end encryption and they do verifications of their software

is it possible to set up VPN infrastructure such that you could have independent audits that prove you have no way of knowing what website a given user is on?

otherwise, theoretically, could a curious VPN employee just browse what all of the VPNs customers are doing at any time, what they're googling, who they're looking at on Facebook, etc?

I don't know enough about VPNs and network infrastructure to be able to word this question properly, to my uneducated self it feels like I'm basically asking, could you have a VPN with end to end encryption

Hey, if some chooses to live next to a hotel then that's there choice. If a unlicensed hotel opens next to them (i.e. an airbnb rental) then they have been impinged on.
Why you don't use a minimum stay option?
there are endless stories like this with AirBNB. They are right in that they have millions of successful bookings and these one-off scenarios are the exception to the rule, but they are being very unprofessional in the way they handle these matters. I would lawyered up as soon as they started dickin me around.

The reason Dinulescu doesn't go after the idiots directly is the same reason you go through insurance companies when there is damage - because that is the service you are paying them for.

Now, AirBnB can absolutely go after the guests, but they have to decide if it is worth it. It is going to cost resources and money (probably more than the $8000 they are paying), and there is still a good chance that the guests won't be able to pay them back anyway. It is probably not worth it.

> Also, if you want to succeed, don't listen to these idiots. Statistically those who work harder succeed more. Period.

I'm mean I generally agree but one thing I really can't stand is people believing that success is entirely hard work.

The reality is most of success is "standing on the shoulder of giants". People are generally successful if they are given a massive starting advantage. That starting advantage could be genetics (which can be argued easily since that is sort of hidden) and wealth (of which there is less denying).

You mention Bill Bates. Bill and both Mark Zuckerburg went to Harvard. Both had(ve) affluent parents. Even Steve had some nice advantages as well. As well in the case of this article most scientist have/had affluent parents.

Of course there are Cinderella exceptions. I don't know stat wise what it is but I'm guessing low.

I just don't want to hear hard work always equals success when most board rooms are filled with the white good old boys network.

Yes, exactly. I'd love there to be an iTunes/Netflix for sports, but understand why there isn't.

I've gotten by with some shady tricks, like buying access to NHL on the playstation because they don't geoblock access like they do on NHL.com or on the iOS apps, and only use whatever country a user listed as their origin. I've still paid for the access, and I'm happy to pay for it, but it's literally a situation of me not being able to access these things the way you probably should, simply for reasons. I always try to find a way to pay for access, and usually Viasat will have what I'm looking for. When all else fails I go for some shady live stream from Russia or something. It's certainly not ideal.

My point is that Google made a lot of noise, built Fiber to less than half a million customers, and is now throwing in the towel. Verizon, meanwhile, built fiber to more than 7 million customers, has already done one major technology transition (BPON to GPON) and is testing another (GPON to NGPON-2).

A 10x improvement is pretty great. I can't say Google is 10x more useful than it was ten years ago. And many other products by "innovative" companies (e.g. Facebook, MacOS, Windows), have gotten worse in that timeframe.

You can in fact just declare struct meters in a header file, and don't publish the full declaration. The client C can still get at the data, but only in underhanded ways, like guessing at what the structure looks like and locally completing the declaration. Without that being done, the pointer cannot be dereferenced; that is a constraint violation for which ISO C requires a diagnostic. C support for making opaque data type API's is reasonably decent. You can make a type for meters that doesn't interoperate with anything but other instances of meters, other than through some serialization hole (you provide a necessary function to scan meters from a string or print to a string, and using that, someone can convert meters to just a double and add it to similiarly deserialized kilograms).

I think the proper thing to do with things such as viagra would be to move them over to the proper research team once they become specialized: Viagra would be moved either to a men's health specialist or a sexual health specialist. Viagra can be commercialized, sure, but it can also make a huge difference in mental health - possibly for more than one person. And I do think we should sell them for recreational use as well, if there is that sort of use and use the profits to reinvest or let those be big pharma profits. Possibly in heart health, since lots of folks need that sort of thing.

Contrary to what my post says, I don't mind big pharma in itself. Sure, there are issues, but I don't mind them making profit. I just wish we'd do more - including making sure you don't have unaffordable premiums and deductibles just to live (as in my view, life is a human right if we can prevent the death).

Actually a large part of rural India still uses 60/100W light bulbs (filament ones) instead of LEDs as they are much cheaper(1/15th). I took 75W ceiling fans + 100W for the bulbs ~ (75W20hrs + 60W10hrs)*3rooms. I agree this is still on the higher side as all fans won't be running all the time and would be zero during winters (~3 months).
Does it really make that much of a difference that the final assembly is done by humans instead of machines? The parts you propose using are all clearly not hand made, and in many cases can't really be. It could be interesting from a product design/flexibility perspective, but that's a different axis of concern IMHO.

He would be wise to cash out now while the getting is good. Amazon has an enormous problem with counterfeit goods in many categories. Unfortunately, when the implosion happens it will likely be incredibly fast and catastrophic. How might this happen? People get sketched out by their own, or other's experiences with fraud on Amazon, and simply decide to buy from other sources. I suspect this is a tipping point situation where it's not a slow decline, but instead a very fast one. For instance, my wife and I used to do most of our non-grocery shopping on Amazon. But recent horrific experiences (in spite of Jeff and his team stepping in to rectify things) and questions about what we'd actually get if we order something from Amazon means that now we don't buy nearly as much--mostly just Kindle books now. I just think that at some point most of their customers will stop shopping with them all at once because of fraud concerns, they'll stop subscribing to Prime, and next thing we know the company will be broken up and sold piecemeal.

I'm afraid Amazon thinks they have a lot more time than they actually do to think about what, if anything, they want to do about the problem.
Author here! Thanks for the post :)
My understanding is that while a number of people have tried, we currently have no particularly viable approaches for 'style transfer' analogues on sequence data, including text and sound/speech. Samples from past work are pretty bad. But what you could possibly do is roundtrip audio to text and then text (with conditioning like speaker metadata) to speech, both of which are doable. But directly transforming, not yet.

Customizing class creation in Python
One Line of Code That Compromises Your Server
I'm not labeling countries socialist and capitalist, I'm labeling practices such. I was talking about socialism and capitalism purely within the context of the U.S.

Government funding of medical research for the good of its citizens is socialistic. Selling developed drugs on the market is capitalistic. When you use government funds for something which is eventually sold, but the government doesn't receive any direct compensation, there's a friction between the socialistic and capitalistic forces at play, and that's what we've been discussing.

To be clear, I've made zero claims as to what is better, just that dthey engender different incentives that don't always play well with each other. My personal view is that there are definitely things we want the state to handle (some degree of welfare including health, some level of regulation of various parts of the economy), but the details as to how much government control are the important bits. Purely socialist and purely capitalist environments don't seem to function nearly as well as a mix, from what I've gleaned from history.

Doctors vary a lot by how up to date they are on new drugs. Some are focused on research, read all the latest journal articles and could teach pharma companies a thing or two.

Then there are the physicians who prefer to spend time treating patients. Maybe they are a generalist and don't have time to learn about every new drug. A brief conversation with a sales rep might point them in a right direction to learn more.
Can confirm. I've been living that life the past decade. Worked for two startups that unfortunately didn't succeed as employee #3 for low wages (~$50k) in my 20s, because they seemed like great opportunities (and to be fair, I did learn a lot and I am proud of a few of the products that came out, even though they weren't successful) and I'm still struggling to get my wages up anywhere close to what gets casually tossed around as 'easy to get' here on a daily basis.

And pretty much every single company I interview with makes sure they ask what my previous wage was before giving me an offer, and surprise, surprise, the offer they give me is only about 10-20% higher than my previous wage, and waaaay below market.

I'm not in SV though, so wages are a little lower here on average anyway.
> IMO, if you're an API company, and you can't handle bursts of traffic from your customers, you should work on improving your backend and stop wasting time messing around with implementing patterns like this. It's a lose-lose situation for you and your customers.

I'm surprised this isn't more obvious, especially to a company like Stripe that is built on one of the slowest programming languages/platforms in existence. It isn't hard to come up with a list of languages that would easily provide an order of magnitude more capability per server (yes, maybe compute is not their bottleneck, but I've never seen an RoR setup that was bottlenecked by anything other than RoR). And that not only makes it cheaper for the baseline, but it also makes it cheaper to overprovision for safely handling spikes, and both cheaper and faster to scale when needed.

And like you said, not responding to demand is just preventing your customers from giving you money...but it is worse. If you are a growing company and one of your badly needed services is your bottleneck, that service is gonna be the first one to go. API limiting should be considered an attrition risk.
Or maybe it was because the controls didn't eat anything at all.

It's not unusual for settlements to have conditions attached, which makes this NDA thing somewhat less outlandish than it seems at first. For instance, if you settle with an insurance company after a car accident, you may have to sign something which says "that is it", waiving your right to sue anyone for anything more.

If the person is properly compensated 100%, but keeps talking, it can be argued that their material damage has been fully restored, while they continue to inflict material damage against the other party.
