Well, there are many reasons to use React (the large ecosystem means you can find libraries and tutorials easily, for example) but yes, the license is a deal breaker for many, especially larger companies with legal teams who actually understand the ramifications.

I've been using Google Home / Android version of this for a year or so now, and I have to say I really enjoy it. NOt sure if I will also enjoy the desktop version, but the app is truly intuitive. It shows me not just "news" but stuff like

-amazon price udpates on products I like
-random forum comments
-HN threads trending
-and of course, news type news

either way I don't ;like a cluttered feed but I do have my eye on this

Schools Are Turning to Virtual Doctors for Sick Kids
I think that they have both high margins on drugs (my gut estimate would be ten times what the rest of the world pays, but it looks like it is ordinarily only 2-5 times [0]) and they're selling a lot of drugs. It is disingenuous to claim that the US consumes 9 times more prescription drugs than the world average. The reality is probably closer to 2-5 times more drugs and that these drugs are 2-5 times more expensive by virtue of being sold in the US.

Hey, I like scones. If it makes you feel better, us Gen Xers have it worse. We're stuck in mid-level positions at work and when the boomers blocking our advancement finally croak, some young, ambitious millennial will simply be promoted over us. Because if we were any good, we would be in upper management by now.

On the flip side, I'm just young enough to not have any sort of pension through my employer(s), and I'll get to watch Social Security (and/or the entire economy) completely collapse right before I reach retirement age.
Is there an app/portal that, at least, just tries to provide unbiased and unadultrated news (just aggregation; if not the source of the article/post) for events from

(a.) particular country (b.) around the world (c.) and maybe few topics of interest (or not)

with a clean and simple interface w/o those fancy "social features" and not based on "trending" and "highly voted" features and charges a fee?

You're talking about the study linked as "2006 study of 122 drugs", right? I can't find amphetamines in the tables or the text, what page is it on? (or was it maybe another paper linked in the article?)

I have a prescription for dexamphetamine, but I don't use/need it a lot, so I have some bottles left that are a bit old--not past the expiration date, which appears to be slightly less than 3 years (after the date of the recipe), on the bottle I'm currently looking at. So I was curious about the amphetamines in particular, and if it's just efficacy deteriorating a bit that's fine, because in my personal experience the effect (which is quickly and clearly noticeable) varies easily by 25% already, depending on so many other factors (like what/how much I eat, how well I slept, stuff like that).

Oh, I completely agree generally – don't get me wrong. But I'm also aware I'm not actually in those situations myself, and that this is still a relatively new practice. I'm personally quite in favour of the concept – but still think it's important not be blasé in ignoring any input from actual officers that contradicts my personal assumption.

That would be a terrible idea. Seeding a (C)PRNG from a publicly known value is one of the worst ways to shoot yourself in the foot.
Everything has side-effects.

First, shareholders (and their interests) are a side effect of raising money. Anything you’d do to reduce the importance of shareholder interests would impact the amount of money companies could raise.

There have been some examples of industries where employee interests played a big role. Public sector companies, employee cooperatives or just private businesses with highly empowered unions.

In Israel for example, during the 50s-80s there were a lot of worker-cooperative companies. The biggest bus company, bank & health care provider were co-ops. These were generally started by large multi-industry union organisations. Where unions are this powerful, union-run & state-run tend blend into each other.

The bus company is still technically a cooperative, owned by members.

Anyway… Here incentives can play weird roles too. One thing that happens at a successful worker co-op (famously at Egged, the bus company mentioned above) is that member-workers want to avoid dilution, so no new member-workers. This either leads to hiring workers sans-membership or avoiding hiring altogether. In both cases, the owners have a much reduced interest in growth. Shareholders are hyper-interested in growth. Shareholders can portfolio away volatility, so they're more risk tolerant.

I’m not opposed to redefining the concept of a “company,” (joint stock or otherwise), it’s legal rights and such. I don’t think they should inherit the rights people have by default. I also don’t think infinitely cascading parent-child “structures” should be allowed.

But, I don’t think you can make anything perfect.
Fiduciary duty != maximize shareholder value
Studies have shown that increasing road capacity just causes more drivers to join the party to meet the supply. [1] Multilevel roads would be sick though. I'm hoping as vehicles become more autonomous they'll be able to move more efficiently, reducing congestion. A lot of slowdowns are artificial, people looking at an accident, a group driving slowly backing up a couple lanes.

Thanks for letting me in on your experience. :)
We totally believe that when information around a topic is broken down into bite-sized slide-like chapters its much less overwhelming to consume than everything dumped on a single page.

We are trying to give the authors an ability to contain the contents of a single slide within user view. Our editor is freshly released, so hopefully a future release soon enough would let educators do that and with some interaction features as well.
Logically following the conversation.... What's wrong with their patent retaliation clause?

The link you provided basically says it only matters if you are a patent troll.
They do have a fiduciary duty to shareholders, but my understanding is that there is a low bar to meet. Fraud / fleecing shareholders is out, but as long as they have a reasonable case that what they're doing is in shareholders' best interests, they'll be fine.

As an example, it would be easy to make the case that reducing the dividend to build a new factory is in shareholders' best interest. It would also be easy to make the case that they shouldn't open a new factory, and instead increase the dividend. Which option they choose is a bit subjective, and a judgement call, but neither would breach their fiduciary duty.

Choosing a much higher cost supplier, that is owned by their husband or wife, probably would breach fiduciary duty.
Maybe we'll be able to finally prove that free will doesn't exist.
on that note...how on earth is it possibly that the "im feeling lucky" button is still doing something for them?

Yep. Honestly I probably would have assumed it's not a protocol issue if both HTTP and HTTPS downloads from S3 behaved the same way. Both of those protocols are on TCP, though, so that would have thrown me off!
Thanks for the info. Since you seem to have some knowledge on the topic, do you happen to know how they determined that Plenty produced "crops at yields 530 times greater than that of a typical field"? It seems like there should be a more nuanced discussion around that number judging by the healthy skepticism in the comments. Any thoughts appreciated!

A number of colleagues had become rich very quickly and "retired". When the bubble burst, I realized that the money rush was over, and my lotto number had not been drawn. However, within 2 years, most of those colleagues were selling their sports cars and looking for work again.
> “The startling regrowth of tissue in this case occurred because we were able to intervene early in a growing child, before long-term tissue degeneration. Although it’s impossible to conclude from this single case if the sequential application of normobaric oxygen then HBOT would be more effective than HBOT alone, in the absence of HBOT therapy, short duration, repetitive normobaric oxygen therapy may be an option until HBOT is available."

It was done for the first time, we have no idea what really did the magic here, we can just assume. In any future medicine scenario I'd expect us to exactly know what we are doing and how it works. Yes medicine is improving but we really are in the dark ages still.
The biggest issue right now is rents. I have 2-3 friends who just signed 1 year leases for north of 3K for 1 bedrooms. My own evil apartment complex (shitty place but Mountain View so what can you do) raised my rent and said I could go back to the lower one if I sign another lease. While your advice is sage, it isn't practical.
Yeah I don't have a stake/opinion, just posted that particular article because it's a recent, thorough take, by a lawyer.

This is silly. Your argument is still "It's a bottle therefor stop making a big deal about it" - it's someone's job to care about it. They explain the problem they set out to solve, how they solved it, a background to how these problems are solved (I don't know shit about design, so the "less but better" reference is actually interesting).

If you want to say "It's marketing" no shit, anything any company publishes ends up going through marketing at some point. Every tech blog a company has is marketing. Who cares?
True, so true. The SBCL compiler is almost human; Once, it insulted me with something like: "You have assigned a value to an index out of bounds. Congratulations!!"

Define "died". It's not as easy as you might think, because as medical technology improves, the point of no return slips farther away. Per the article, this child's heart stopped beating for 2 hours.
Does it matter in any way? Is it even a fact worth observing?
Comcast – Outbound DANE Announcement
DAs not prosecuting police officers. Members of the public being biased (pro-rated police, and often anti- some race or culture). Legislators not caring. Police stations hiring officers who had to leave other locations due to being caught (but not prosecuted) doing something illegal.

The system is stacked in favor of police, from top to bottom. It's an endless stream of travesties. It's enough to turn an optimist into a cynic.
I partially blame every tutorial and contrived example of how you should use Redux.
When first starting with React & Redux I spent some time thinking of where and how I should use Redux.

Being that I was new to both, I didn't have any ingrained best practices, and it was hard to find any best practices around when to use redux.

Every example seemed to use it for everything, which seemed insane to me in a real web app. I could see that the size and clutter would grow terribly, and for no obvious benefit.

Your example above is similar to how many component libraries work (where you need to give the user flexibility).

In a dashboard app, I'll make good use of Redux because there are often sets of data you revisit in different ways.

In a more directory-like site I've recently built I use it to keep track of the logged in user information and high level information that dictates your experience (like user location), but nothing else.

Netscape 6 was the "new one", with Gecko, XUL and stuff.

Firefox itself used to be an alternative - the main browser was Seamonkey, that included mail client, chat client and kitchen sink, just like the original Netscape did. Firefox started later as a lightweight alternative, just the browser.

This is what I'm interested in as well. There's a little bit of prior discussion (see links below), but the short of it is that MicroPython is open source while Zerynth is not. For me that makes Zerynth a non-starter, but if that's not an issue for you, they do make claims of a few benefits:

I suspect that it has a lot to do with the sheer amount of data these cameras generate. I know that a lot of agencies have gotten grants to buy body cameras, but the ever-increasing data storage costs are causing them to have to abandon the cameras.

I think a lot of our problems with police in the US stem from the fact that they are not protectors of the public so much as they are enforcers of government policy. They have strayed from the original mission, in other words. Were we to treat them no differently than regular citizens, instead of giving them elevated status as "King's Men" we might fix the underlying problem instead of using technology as a band-aid to regulate their behavior. It's a hard, sometimes dangerous job, but my answer to that is, if you can't accept that, then don't do it.

This is amazing. Does anyone think the cold temperature of the water (5C) had anything to do with the feasibility of recovery? I don't necessarily have a reason to think it would be beneficial or not, just a thought that crossed my mind. I don't think it was mentioned in the article.

This is really awesome. I am curious if this therapy would have been augmented by cognitive enhancers or nootropic substances such as piracetam. Piracetam in particular exhibits neuroprotective effects and improves cerebral vascular function. Several studies have found it to improve recovery following acute/transient ischemic stroke. It has actually been prescribed in several countries for this purpose.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who watches the watchers?

I've heard about drugs being planted before, but I think there was always some doubt in my mind that it was just an excuse by those being prosecuted. This is the first time I've seen solid evidence that it's real. That is fucking terrible! How many times has this happened and put innocent people in prison? We can't let this continue to happen when the cameras are off. We need these cameras everywhere and we need them on all the time.
Trees is just a bunch of people posting their bowls and where they toked up on a hike. A lot of them likely live in legalized states. I'd say not even close. (The "gateway" thing was a nice touch though.)
First of all, capitalism does not "promise" anything. Secondly, it says that in aggregate, society will be better off in everyone focuses more or less on their individual interests. It does not suggest that everyone in that society will be better off.

In some hypothetical world, if you raise the median income 50% and increase the quality of life for 95% of the population, while causing the other 5% to end up in crippling poverty for the rest of their life, you've made that society better in aggregate but certainly not for that 5%.

Depends what sites you used.

Compared NN4 and IE4, NN4 was better. Compared to later IEs, IE were better.

Except for IE5 for Mac. That one was weird, it's CSS implementation was best from all the available browsers. But when you opened Slashdot (or another table heavy site), boy, you quickly switched back to Netscape.

It's just that unlikely statistical events are... unlikely even though they often do happen to someone (in aggregate). As an individual, and without compelling evidence, it's simply meaningless to think that you're anything other than average in most respects.

Milk cartons delivered to a school can be in a crate of hundreds, Soylent is delivered to a single person in a box of 12 or so.

Except when they take it too seriously.

At my $dayjob, I have a problem with a cow-orker with a position slightly superior to mine ("first among equals", former team lead of the group of projects to which I'm assigned) taking results of static analysis too seriously - to the level of cargo culting. When bored, he'd introduce "fixes" to reduce number of issues reported by SonarQube - "fixes" I have to revert every now and then, because they reduce quality of the code (sometimes also introducing bugs through carelesness), all to optimize the Sonar metric.

To be clear: tools are fine. It's people that are the problem (as usual).
Nice tool! I just registered for the closed beta. When do you think you'll roll out the PRO features? Is there a roadmap or a timeline?
I prefer compact coding (started with BASIC on a Tandy 102 laptop way way way back).

But it also needs to be readable/pronounceable: and it needs to be readable even on cruddy screens / bad printouts. No "i" and "j" for loop counters, for example: the compiler doesn't care how long you make your names, so I use things like "kt" or "ndx" (because typos happen, and fewer characters that still convey the same meaning is acceptable).

I also do my best to never write overly clever code. Shared another [HN](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20170719-00/?p=...) [post](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14810014) with a little commentary on G+ last night:

Sadly - or, perhaps, happily - I can remember when I used to do wonky crap like this.

Then I learned the axiom, "if you code as cleverly as you can, you are, by definition, not clever enough to debug it" (I think it's called Kernaghan's Lever - but I may be mistaken).

Write code you can explain to a 4th grader. Or your grandma. If you have to stop and think about how clever it is, you are going to end up cleavering yourself with your feigned cleverness.
Why do you think the core tech is going to be less buggy then the popular tech? One would think the most used wallets are going to be the ones that find the bugs earlier.

The problem is the customer paying $4+ a serving won't find that acceptable. A school won't care if a few $0.50 cartons are dented in a shipping crate of over a hundred milk cartons, but a customer that gets a dented $5 drink is going to complain and ask for a refund/replacement.
