Skype. Its easy, people (strangers) know how to use it. I would prefer not to use it and don't like the constant tray icon (I tend to only load it when I know I have a meeting).

I've used join.me which also seems straightforward and easy to share a code with someone at very short notice (don't have to link accounts before we have a meeting - you can just email a URL).

That's very interesting. I'm an old-school embedded/C/asm guy who for the last 10 years has worked in mobile dev, and I'm increasingly interested in security work, particularly on legacy systems (mainly because I'd feel comfortable there and I'm fully aware of the potential vulnerabilities).

But if I'd seen that job posting I would have assumed it was some kind of embedded Linux driver development, not a security job.

My totally unmeasured hunch is that there is a downside to using noopener: it could make the new page that is being opened take slightly longer, since it now needs to spool up another process/thread/sandbox/whatever instead of piggy backing off the existing page's.

I meant shouts of deliberate misrepresentation.
The problem you describe is a real one, but a bit different than the other criticism raised here so far.

Chocolate has the Mars Company and other Big Sugar companies behind it pushing for justifying chocolate as a "health food" in the public mind. It is very obvious that they are wiling to distort the truth for better sales; people who can ease their conscious about eating unhealthy sweets buy more chocolate[0]. There might be some real effect to eating raw cocoa, but that does not really translate to your average chocolate bar with insane amounts of fat and sugar.

Tea/Coffee is kind of similar, as would be the "drink x glasses of water per day"-advice, which is a distortion of science by bottled water companies (fruits, vegetables and other food contains a ton of water already).

For this reason I also don't buy that salt is safe: there are very strong vested interests in the food industry that want salt to be (considered) safe to sell more food, whereas I cannot see a comparable bias on the "eat less salt"-side.

For this research the situation seems to be have some of the mentioned problems, but not to the same degree:

On the one hand, that tumeric has an in-vitro effect is pretty well established. The issue is that the normal form we put on our food is probably not absorbed in a dosage that has a significant effect. However, this was a trial with a bio-available form, in a high enough dosage, so that obvious flaw is out of the picture.

On the other hand, that bio-available form is a product, so the company behind it wants it to be effective. Still, Big Pharma is under more scrutiny than Big Sugar, so I have cautious hopes this might actually work out in the end (and it won't be sold in the form of calorie-rich sweets at least).

Admittedly, I'm biased here: my grandmother on my mother's side, and my grandfather on my father's side both had Alzheimers (or something very similar to it at least). My parents are now their late sixties, I would really like to see them stay healthy and happy for a few more decades.

A few years ago I remember being asked to sit in on an interview with a senior-level developer. Our lead seemed really impressed by this guy, and he had a ton of specific questions written out on various tools, which was fairly strange as we tried to make it a fairly light process.

She said that it was an opportunity to ask a core developer of a lot of open source projects some questions. After looking at his GitHub profile a few minutes before he arrived, it turns out that she believed that all the forks on his account meant that he was an active contributor, when in reality this guy was using forks to save repos he found interesting.

In all fairness to my boss, this guy tried to lead us down that road, since he had contributed a typo fix to a README file a few months ago, and used this as a way to say he was an open-source contributor. Strictly speaking, he is, but there's a big difference in what he's done and what my boss thought he had done.

Given that many developers don't really deal with GitHub all that much, outside of as a link to documentation for hosted code, it wouldn't surprise me if some hiring managers had hired people based on what they've forked, rather than actually checking to see if they've written any code on the account, or whether it's any good.

A doctor and a government are subject to intense public scrutiny; they have duties towards you they must respect. Also, there is no incentive for then to leak anything.

Apple on the other hand, is an organisation devoted to the sole purpose of making as much money as possible. Anything else is secondary. I think this is reason enough to be wary.
> The ayurvedic or any of the sciences of ancient Indians use the same trail & error methodologies of modern science.

Then please show us the studies, and the reproductions. As you said, "Why should it be any different?", and verification via repeatably reproducing results is how science works.

> the British & Muslim rule in India.

That's a bit of off-topic attack that serves no purpose to your argument. If you were trying to make the argument the texts would have been preserved if India had been entirely under Hindu rule, well, that's an entirely different argument that does not validate an "Ayurveda works" claim. In short: "The dog ate my thesis" does not work.

> In India we have been following these for thousands of years.

As have been a lot of rituals and traditions that have been proven to hold no (or worse, negative) benefit. Age serves as a poor proxy for legitimacy.

We use Heroku and only moved to it maybe two years ago. We have quite a spiky tragic pattern, both throughout the day and over the year - scale up 10x at Christmas. Heroku lets us do this super easily with no ops staff - we are a very small team.

The only problem we have is pricing for higher RAM dynos, we have quite a memory heavy app and need to use at least the 2.5gig dynos which are a massive jump in price. It’s not so much that we would invest in moving platform yet but it is something I look at every few months. However I do feel that Heroku are over due a price drop on their dynos (or just a ram boost at the same price point) and maybe a few more size options. They seem to be a little behind the market now - obviously a big part of their pricing is the ease of use...
That’s like saying it was a fad to “apply software to your existing business” or “move business you already have to the web”.

Sure, that was in vogue at times and some people wasted a lot of money but that over-summarization doesn’t give you an accurate understanding of what actually happened.

Why even use ECS when you can just start an Elastic Beanstalk docker-based cluster, and get superior, more focused web UI (at least the UI for EB is superior at present) along with much easier configuration?

If I sound bitter, it's because I am -- I recently spent about 2 days straight trying to build an ECS cluster reliably with CloudFormation, and while I must admit I was newer than normal to CloudFormation templates, the amount of errors I ran into (and incredibly slow provision/creation/update time), along with the broken edge cases (try and make an existing EC2 bucket with CloudFormation) was infuriating. Don't read any further if you don't want to read a rant.

While ECS is great in theory (or if you set it up by clicking tons of buttons on AWS's UI), it's significantly harder to automatically deploy than BeanStalk is, from where I'm standing. All I have to do is get a container with the eb command line tool installed, do a bunch of configuration finangling (which honestly is ridiculous as well, just let me give you a file with all my configuration in it, or read it from ENV, and stop trying to provide interactive CLIs for everything, for fucks sake) and I can run `eb deploy` and push a zip file with nothing but a docker container (muilti container setups are also allowed) specified up to the cloud. Later I'm going to look into using CloudFormation to set up EB, but I know even that will be simpler, because I won't have to try and make any ECS::Service objects or ES::TaskDefinitions.

Trying to use ECS made me so glad that Kubernetes exists. Unfortunately in my work I can't use it currently because that would mean the rest of the team stopping to learn it, but Cloudformation + ECS is a super shitty version of setting up a kubernetes cluster and using a kubernetes resource config file. I think the best part about kubernetes is that if the community keeps going the way it's going, cloud providers will finally be reduced to the status of hardware vendors -- all I'll need from EC2 is an (overpriced) machine, network access, and an IP, not to try and keep up with it's sometimes asinine contraptions and processes, or be locked in to their ecosystem.

Once you have a pipeline built for creating and deploying cloudformation templates, it gets a lot easier.

If you’re building something in aws using the web ui, either you’re doing something on a very small scale or you are fucking up.
Major Pingdom outage: postmortem
Isn't there a danger here of blaming social media for the fact that the rest of your life apparently sucks? I remember I used to get annoyed at people who were noisy when I was trying to study. Then I realised I was blaming them for my own sense of inadequacy.

Yet neither was it my fault: it's simply that the material was boring. Lack of focus really implied that I needed something harder, more important (and thus more exciting) to do.
This discussion of conflict theorists vs mistake theorists reminds me of conspiracy theorists: by this I specifically mean those who go out of their way to look for a conspiracy where the evidence is rather thin. But there appears to be less criticism of the opposite of this, those coincidence theorists who go out of their way to find a coincidence where the evidence of collusion is too great to ignore. I suspect that nobody is wholly one or the other: one who believes in conspiracies between the US state and the wealthy to manufacture wars seems somewhat unlikely to believe in communists-in-every-level-of-government conspiracy theories.

Nobody could reasonably argue that the organisation of workers into unions involved no cooperation, yet we become labelled as conspiracy theorists, stereotyped and dismissed completely if we refuse to believe that events, which were incredibly convenient for the moneyed few, involved no cooperation in the face of evidence to the contrary.

The problem with past events is that they are always subject to some interpretation. There are events in distant history that are still a matter of contention and which scholars, with no political preference for a particular individual, can agree upon. With the deep politicisation of much of the international events of the last 100 years and the amount that remains to gain by exploiting them, it may well be that the dust never settles.
I don't understand how you can stay in the foetal position while floating.

I said that even if it was scientifically proven it still wouldn't be OK to discriminate. Reading comprehension.

And the discussion was NOT about systems using correlation as a heuristic for causation. If a company filters users based on something, only correlation matters for their purposes. Believing correlation is only useful as a heuristic for causation is ignorant. For some purposes, correlation matters. For some purposes, the root cause matters. Not everything is the same.

Show HN: Create tutorials in front end dev/design
Brand B was recycled paper, A is not. Both are available and B is slightly cheaper. B wins. Neither of them advertised to me, the decision was made based on product quality and features, not advertising.

I just got back from an overseas holiday, so I too saw a lot of HSBC ads at airports. But I also actively disregarded them, of someone asked me for a bank, they would not spring to mind. Even moreso because I was reading a thread on Reddit the other day where someone was talking about how HSBC's strategy was to advertise primarily at airports even if they didn't operate in that country because it makes people think they're a global brand (even when and where they're not). So now, if I do think about HSBC the first thing that pops into my head is how their outdoor advertising is built on a lie.
Maybe that wasn't the typo.

Having a few decades of experience under my belt, I'm sure I'm blind to some things newcomers/starters would see, but what I did notice:

- Camel case is bad for mobile typing, and bad for non-coders in my experience; underscore is better for the latter but not for mobile typing, so that's not really a solution unless you can add an underscore or some other character (non-minus-dash? center-dot?) that can be pressed directly.

- Case sensitivity in general is best avoided in beginner languages, which if adopted might make the above point moot.

- I personally find the pairing of "end" and ":" confusing, possibly because of years of "begin/end", "{/}" and "indent: dedent" experience. Most people seem to have a better intuitive grasp of the indent/dedent than any other block scoping, but for mobile I guess ":/end" is acceptable although "{/}" might be better.

- What is the distinction between "let" and "variable" ?

- The "#number" syntax is not intuitive - I goess it's a replacement for function names or line numbers, for refernece purposes?

- One of the conceptual problems that some people have is with the "=" sign for assignment, as it conflicts with its use in mathematics. All overcome it sooner or later, but when I've shown APL ( where assigment of 3 to a is written A <- 3 ) or Pascal ( A := 3 ) to non-programmers, this confusion never comes up. I would recommend keeping = for comparison, and using another symbol for assignments.

- Consider adding a variable value display. I've used PythonTutor[1] to teach basic JavaScript and Python non-programmers with great success. A complete value trace is likely beyond the scope of codechat, but a variable display might be very useful.

All in all, I think it's awesome. Are you familiar with Atari VCS 2600 BASIC[0]? That's what it reminded me of.

What you're saying makes sense but i'd encourage people to keep an open mind. I accepted my job right out college with a BS in cs.

Their offer was lower than i hoped, but still above average, with no wiggle room to negotiate. I was hoping to do some data science related work, and by 6 months in i had done a tiny bit of front end javascript only. I did not even have admin rights on my laptop. The commute was long and i worked on a floor with almost no one on it.

So i worked my ass off, never complained, developed some minor process improvements in my spare time. They gave me a shiny new comp with admin rights and a 20+% raise. Put me on a co located high performing team, with options to work from home a few days a week if id like.

My point is, if youre working for reasonable good hearted people and work hard, the rest might only be temporary. I got lucky but in hindsight id ask about the people.
For Apple to do the right thing they'd have to issue a blanket free battery swap on all affected iDevices or maybe even a device swap to a model unaffected by this 'design problem'.

I can simulate the problem these devices have rather easily on my own phone, a 2011-vintage Motorola Defy. The thing was first sold as having an '800 MHz' SoC, a later model (Defy+) supposedly sported a '1000 MHz' SoC. In reality the hardware did not change all that much between those releases except for the inclusion of a high-capacity battery. The clock rate is software-defined and can be changed more or less at will. As I was one of the developers to work on porting newer releases of Android (in the guise of Cyanogenmod) to this platform I had access to a number of these devices. All of them ran without problems at the standard clock rates of 800MHz and 1000MHz, most could be overclocked to 1.1GHz. Beyond that clock rate things started to look different with some devices experiencing sudden reboots when called or in other 'active' situations. The higher the clock rate, the more devices would start failing. On the other hand, some of them could run at 1.3GHz without problems, this includes the one I'm still using. It is now almost 7 years old but still works fine on its original battery. While battery runtime has gone down from about 5 to 3 days it still works without sudden reboots.

If Motorola had clocked the Defy to 1.2GHz from the outset they'd have been in a similar situation as Apple is now with some users complaining about their devices rebooting spontaneously. They did not do so, instead they marketed the device on other features (being waterproof and rugged and such). Apple on the other hand did and marketed their devices as being 'faster than ever', i.e. they deemed the instability caused by the overly high clock rate a defensible trade-off.
You seem to keep arguing that your examples are not causal but only correlated. Because something does not happen 100% of the time does not mean it's not causal. Smoking causes cancer, not everyone that smokes actually gets cancer.

I'm actually not satisfied with that definition, but for now it works well enough for the sake of argument. I would like to define it as a predictor whose strength does not change when it's used transparently. But that definition is too vague for now.

And you're right that when used transparently, the predictor will probably become more accurate.

> Smoking causes sickness, but is also correlated with less obesity, and -- in the minutes/hours after smoking, is correlated with being more alert (possibly caused by a nicotine response, I don't remember the biology).

In [0]: [Since] nicotine is a metabolic stimulant and appetite suppressant, quitting or reducing smoking could lead to weight gain.

I didn't know that smoking caused less obesity. I would have thought it was because of monetary reasons.
