You mean Turing Pharmaceuticals raising the price of Daraprim to whatever the market will bear? People have issues with that, and for some reason for sixty years the price was closer to what the stuff costs to produce (i.e. USD 15 per dose, not USD 750.

I'd like to know more about the ecosystem the original owners operated in, and why the price was so low for so long.

I don't see why pandas won't work for your case. It sounds like most if not all the csvs contain the same columns and type of data. You could easily create a pandas dataframe that combines them all, then use any plotting library like matplotlib and/or seaborn to plot. If you need help provide some examples of the csvs you are trying to parse.
The nice thing about open source software is that the translation files are usually indexed by search engines. So if you search the string you're likely to be able to find the source language (usually English) string along with how to substitute the variables.
I tend to agree that in the US we're particularly bad about replacing things rather than repairing them. We're also bad about inventing, marketing, selling & buying products that trade convenience for waste in the first place. It's certainly not black and white though, these behaviors are global, and plenty of Americans care and try to reuse before recycling.

> Shredding ALWAYS and calling your company GREEN is a LIE (to the Earth and customers) and PR joke @Apple.

While always shredding is a bit unfortunate, this seems a little hyperbolic to me. Shredding for recycling is still recycling. It's worse than re-use and better than landfill. Lots and lots and lots of companies use the landfill, and Apple is certainly greener than that.

It'd be worth examining the recycling efficiency too, which is getting better every year. Apple's aiming for many parts to be manufactured with 100% recycled material. Not there yet, but if that were true, then what is the waste from shredding vs re-use? There's energy, which could come from renewable sources. What else?
Prime example of a government function that could benefit from the open source community. If all this patent data were dumped today, in whatever format it's stored in, I guarantee we'd be seeing a bunch of cool ShowHNs within days and all of us would be better off for it.

Nix has a tool called nix-ops that will provision vms on virtual box (you can use containers powered by libvirt as well if you want). It's cool because you can use functional programming concepts and it takes a lot of the support headache away. The option to provision vms is really nice in some cases, which Docker just doesn't give you. But you can also use containers, just like docker, with reproducible builds, which means you can effectively test deployments without ever spending a dime on real hardware.
I grew up on a sheep farm. I disagree with this article. I found them to be almost pathologically fatalistic and idiotic. Perhaps there's something to be said about domestication having a negative cognitive effect, or inbreeding, or some other factor. But these animals were not intelligent.

Looks like you may want to try Vagga [1]. It is Linux-only, but you said that you want Linux-based environments. It is for development environments by design, so it is way easier to setup than Vagrant. Even if it does not solve your problems (which you have not specified), at least you will spend less time maintaining it.

You're talking about Blink. Chromium is not a rendering engine, but a full browser. Chrome is just chromium with branded assets and a few proprietary features that link it to Google Services.

It was first released in 2008, only 3 years after WebKit was open sourced, and about the same it was starting to gain traction outside Apple. Most of the browsers which didn't have their own engine back then were actually using Gecko or embedding an IE webview. Google embracing WebKit was a huge factor in pushing it to become the mainstream rendering engine.
They mentioned it is in ALPHA, give it some time.
The very next video youtube suggested shows two sheep, surrounded by lush green fields, climbing onto steep, wet rocks on a hillside in an attempt to reach some grass in the middle of the rocks. One of the sheep falls, presumably to its death or at least to a significant injury. They may be clever, but they seem... dumb.

I sat on this disclosure for ten years because family told me FBI would go after me. Good advice or bad advice, that was ten years of my life that could have been better spent.

One time I found a photo printing website made all photos public. They refused to fix, I fully disclosed, it made front page Slashdot. Then the company had to change its name. Maybe it was fun or maybe I get credit but most importantly it gets something from my TODO list to my DONE list. This is very important to me.

I have a 0-day on Apple, not very exciting. I reported in 2015 and they still did not fix. Having this in my inbox is a waste of my time thinking about it. I will FD it.

My experience is that security researchers do not make money unless you run script kiddy programs for stupid bounty programs. When I interviewed for a "security" job all they would ask me about is Microsoft certifications and user access testing. I asked if a TLA offer letter counted as sufficient reference and he said no. At that point I immediately switched from MS CS into MS Finance and MBA and my life has improved (while still being technically challenging and academic.)

So technically my disclosure policy is IJDGAF with two extra weeks as a gentleman's favor. Maybe I'm the bad guy, but that's why I'm here for the lovely discussion on YC. Thanks for sharing.

You can easily automate provisioning and deployment with Nixops:

But if you need to share/deploy what you worked on, in some place where you might not have Nix available, you can just as easily create Docker containers out of your Nix expression:

RE Broken Window.

The FBI / NCFTA invited me to speak about this vuln because it may have affected many banks at the time. (Please stop laughing.)

They called me to cancel. "Now we're all focused on this big DOS. Do you know anything about DOS that's happening today you can help us with?" I asked if the DOS is affecting the stability of the system or actually breaking anything. And they said yes it is bringing the banks down and affecting revenue.

Sure, I'm specifically talking about assumptions that rest on programmers having followed some constraint purposefully. Humans are fallible, and if the compiler can't actually prove it, it shouldn't be taking any action that might remove statements.

That's not to say programmers can't take steps to make it provable for the compiler.
When visiting websites from Belgium, one frequently occurring annoyance is that websites will serve you content in French. This happens even when you're in the Dutch speaking region (this should be easy to detect since the ISPs are different between regions).

It's frustrating because many Dutch speakers can understand English better than French.

It would even happen for websites that support English, French, and Dutch, such as Skype.com (can't test if it's still happening though).
Fairly sure KHTML was LGPL, Apple could not have closed it even if they wanted to. Same goes for what became JSCore which also remains LGPL.

My high school English teacher regularly "ripped to shreds" papers like that in the early 1980s. It was very difficult to write to his satisfaction. But he was a great teacher.
Additionally...

1. Some books have horrible formats. In the physical books, shitty formatted texts are not printed (hopefully) and fixed.
2. Too many filetypes and some books tend to be only in a particular format, hence creating a separation. Though this is easily remedied by using converters, it loses formatting sometimes.

I still prefer EBook reader for the convenience. However, a physical book is great. I find it better but I do not have a good reason as to why.

> If it's usable, why would you recycle it? You can sell used devices. Apple even sells refurbished ones themselves. The only reason to actually recycle it is if it's broken, or so old that nobody wants it anymore.

Because reselling old electronics involves finding buyers, which is not a zero-effort endeavor. Or maybe you're a company that is replacing a fleet of devices with upgraded models, and it will literally cost you more money in paid staff time to sell it than it will to just hand it off to a recycler.

> And unless you're going to do an exhaustive quality assurance pass on every single component of the device, you shouldn't be reselling it to other people.

Why not? Plenty of people buy old cars that haven't undergone an exhaustive QA pass. They run fine; some people even repair them themselves.

I've never bought an Apple product in my life. This article makes me feel good about that decision.
It's a matter of numbers that take generalities to extremes. Thirty years ago, some of the things I read about in all seriousness with serious tone would have been laughed at as having no basis for debate or serious consideration. Yes, people should generally feel relatively safe at school. But the idea that we should regress back to segregated living and social quarters because some people can't handle being in a situation with someone that disagrees with them, or perhaps has a better argument?

As a libertarian and a deist, I'm on the outs with almost anyone who tends towards most extremes (even people in my own party, "taxation is theft" mantra for example). There were pacifists in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc... They've always been there. But today as long as it's your guy being the agressor it seems to be okay, but as soon as it's the other guy, it's all bad.

It's like all reason and accountability went out the window at some point. Yes, some of what gets reported is sensational examples far from the norm... but it's at a rate that astounds me. There are a lot of people who have had a very sheltered existence and assume that what's fair is always what's right and that their sheltered view is what is real. It usually isn't.

OK, so apply your logic: we should never construct any new buildings, since that requires more people (during the construction period) than maintaining an existing building. Obviously this means new buildings are inherently inefficient, and only someone who was economically illiterate would want to put up a new one.

...which is pretty much how hashtag-based single page webapps operate.

Many, if not most, isomorphic react/node.js apps have a single API url, with microservices behind the load-balanced URI, that accepts HTTP POST requests, and looks at a JSON object sent as the request body, in turn responding with a JSON object that informs the client-side app to re-render accordingly.

This isn't bizarre at all. It is very, very common; if not the norm.
Modding stuff down doesn't actually change the facts, you know.

CO2 levels:

http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html

The sources are all linked from this site.

Note that the CO2 level in the Cambrian was around 7,000 ppm, or about 17 times the level that this article is having hysterics about. Note that even during the Jurassic (when there were plenty of large land animals and a flourishing ecosystem) the level was about 3,000 ppm (7 times higher than the articles "threshold"). I repeat: the Earth was fine.

2. Extinction. The Wikipedia article I linked has a chart showing the proportion of species that have gone extinct during previous mass extinction. Note that the currently touted "mass extinction" is just a tiny blip.

I don't think people fully realize how truly difficult it is produce next generation dev tools. What GitLab is doing makes perfect business sense, since it's an order of a magnitude easier to create business focused solutions, compared to dev related solutions.

Creating next generation issue trackers, search, build solutions, etc. requires significant R&D and I really don't think GitLab is focused on this type of skunk work. I personally think Microsoft has the best chance to disrupt the software development lifecycle in the future, due to their R&D budget and talent pool.

GitLab in a lot of ways, is sitting in a perfect business position. All they have to do is look at what Atlassian, Microsoft, GitHub, etc. are doing and copy what can be copied. There really is no shame in this, as this only makes business sense.

Git has created an opening into the software development market that has never existed before. In the past, you had to spend a lot of time and money to create a version control system, which you could use as a beachhead for Enterprise sales. However with Git, you no longer require significant time and money to compete.

With Git, the really hard stuff is being worked on for free, by some of the smartest people around the world. And because of that, you can focus on solving the not so difficult problems, but still problems people would pay for.

Git has created a massive opening for who can compete in Enterprise, but as the easier problems get solved and turn into commodity features; focus should shift again, to the not so easy problems. If GitLab invests properly, they should be able to compete in the long run with Microsoft and others. The challenge I guess, is knowing when to start focusing on the harder problems.
Thank you. This is not "re-create /r/place in a weekend" territory. This is physical hardware development and a substantial logistical challenge.

> If I, as a citizen, register as a member of Party A, and vote in their primaries for candidates that lean toward my preferences--and then, come election time, go to the polls and vote for the candidate of Party B, as I intended to from the beginning--am I participating honestly in the political process? Or am I pretending to be a member of Party A so I can influence Party A to reduce the difference between the parties?

Seriously? There were many registered Republicans who voted in their primaries and then ended up voting for Hillary over Trump. Were they being dishonest? Or did they just look at the two options given and make the choice that they feel best reflects their values?

Humans don't start to show negative effects until the CO2 level in air reaches at least 2,000 ppm (and some won't show any effects until about 5,000 ppm). That's around 4 times the "threshold" that the article is concerned about.

> It’s worth noting that more tax on land doesn’t mean higher housing costs! For those living in enormous houses in very expensive neighbourhoods, it certainly will: but that’s by design. But shifting the tax burden onto rich folks like this, means that the average person pays less.

I'm confused - what exactly is going to stop the company that owns the 50-unit apartment building that I live in from passing that tax directly onto me and the other tenants via rent?

And how does this help my parents, who own land and have completely paid off their house? Should they, age 60 and 80, start working the land to produce a profit to offset the tax? Should I come back and start having more kids to work the farm?

A majority of comments here seem to think that literally millions of units of electronics are being shredded wastefully, instead of more meaningfully re-used. Ok, great! This is HN! Where are the calls to start a company to leverage this near-infinite supply of valuable trash through economically productive re-use? Should be very profitable, right?

Another distinct possibility is that the proportion of valuable items in this stream is too small to warrant their recovery. There are already tons of people that refurb and sell computers. It's a small market, and increasing the supply by 100x (or whatever the multiple of "wasted" recycling opportunities is) would likely distort that market into total collapse.
Ok, if the article is right, then:

- our minds don't bother to remember things when we know the information is stored externally and easy to access
- given the aggressive way our minds exploit this, remembering must be expensive
- given that we can now get by while remembering less than before
- to what end can we put memory capacity we've now freed up?

One answer might be "living longer". As our lifespans extend, we may find ourselves accumulating too much knowledge to quickly remember things when we need them. If we're able to conserve memory more during our early lives, we may be able to stave of senility longer.

Or maybe we can put that capacity to other uses. Our brains are pretty adaptable, and maybe we can use some of it that was devoted to remembering facts and experiences to instead remembering skills or languages or thinking about the present.
