Not to be dismissive, but those other media stories often had someone incredibly improve their condition too and that someone would have had children to go around saying "this is the real deal" but it's still only an anecdote and it still only works on some patients. Even quack therapies have people recovering naturally sometimes. Not so say immunotherapy is quackery.
Forgive me, but I'm not sure what we're doing that's disingenuous?

If you clicked through after the initial welcome page (that just overviews the tool) that's not a lead gen form. That's exactly what the tool advertises: a questionnaire for deconstructing your funnel value.

In fact, there's zero lead gen until the end – and that's entirely optional. There's no "put in your email address to get your numbers!" – we display it all anonymously. If you put in your email address, we send you an email course.

I'm not sure if you saw the same thing we built, or if I'm misreading your comment?
Supporting your examples, in previous GIS work I have iterated through a series of public URLs with file ID integers in them (Corresponding with individual document IDs) to batch-mirror whole public GIS datasets from government websites. This was on a public server, no http authentication or username/password, just something that was presented with a terrible javascript user interface only designed to retrieve one file at a time, slowly. Exactly the sort of thing that got this guy arrested.
Total opposite way of how Musk thinks. He despises this attitude. He has said multiple times, if you won't risk your own money, what right do you have to risk someone else's? To him that's unethical. I agree.
My point was not that various anime is ripping off plots or themes from other bodies of art outside of anime and is thus derivative, but rather that a fair amount of anime is ripping off its themes from the superior examples of the genre.

There is a lot of anime I would rate much higher than pretty much any other narratives presented in other media formats including my native Hollywood.

You used to be able to download a trial off the open web on MS' download portal.

I ran LTSB for a year and it was brilliant. But on day 366 (or whever my slmgr -rearm trick ran out) you get locked out with no real way to change to a different SKU or reset without a clean install :(

There's a program called BlackBird (http://getblackbird.net/) that claims to strip out all that telemetry. I have been running it for a while and while I haven't closely inspected traffic to validate the author's claims my bandwidth monitor widget doesn't have a lot to report, rarely rising above 1kb/sec unless I'm doing something.
I never locked my car, back when I was driving a shitty old Cavalier. That seems to say something about how government views its citizens' data.
It was a little odd to start but I've also really grown to like it, and now find typing on the old one strangely clunky. The smaller travel of the keys and the reduced key height actually helps me type a lot faster.
It's utterly astonishing that Google still has the hubris not to give it a personal name.

People want to believe they're talking to a personal assistant, even if that isn't true, and Google is stupidly stripping them of that.
I would assume most union shops have protection against just "shutting down" suddenly and not paying employees.

Amazon has it right on this with Alexa.
Interesting story I always think of related to the OLPC. We had someone from the project give a presentation to our local LUG, brought in by the excellent Jonathan Corbet of LWN.

The early OLPC prototypes had a hand crank for power. Everyone loved that idea, internally at the OLPC project and in the public. But, when they were trying to build the final design, the materials scientists said the stresses involved in that crank would cause longevity problems. "We can totally solve this, we just need to make the frame out of titanium." "Uh... Thanks guys, but this is supposed to be a $100 laptop."
Programs like Nuke, Houdini and Touch Designer have been doing this for years specific to graphics - this is trying to be more generalized:

Also you could have sold long dated call spreads for most of the year - effectively shorting the stock with some profit to show for it.

Edit: you’re also more likely to have lost money buying Tesla over the past year vs shorting it, so it really hasn’t been “expensive” to short it.
Come on, haven't you heard of photosynthesis, oxygen, and pollution before? Higher than average ambient CO2 levels is basically like sitting in an oxygen deprived chamber. Also, there is a recreational drug called Carbogen that is a mixture of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen that, although actually fine for breathing biophysically, has a reduced level of oxygen and increased level of CO2 that makes your body believe it's dying. Very interesting. So, even if it's not a lethal difference in composition, higher CO2 levels will definitely affect one's mood adversely.
Sometimes I've found it hard to slow down and read every word, but when I do (and the author is good) the escapism is sublime, and the reading experience becomes more than just turning pages to uncover plot points.
We're constantly reworking our marketing site, but to make it more technical for the HN crowd (our audience is mostly marketers), it's an "if-this-then-that" engine for your website.

- If referred by foo.com OR came over with particular UTM params OR landed on /foo THEN change out testimonials to be able foo (using similar underlying tech that Optimizely, et al use)

or

- If visitor, who has opted in previously, has the "Customer" tag in the ESP/CRM that our customer has linked their site to, then ditch the signup form on the homepage and put a training video (or something)

It's basically a rules engine that looks at on-site behavior (pages viewed, referring domain, query string params, cookie data, etc) and allows you to combine that with ESP/CRM backend data (tags, custom fields, subscriber vs anonymous), and make content changes (replace text, hide an element, swap out an image, etc) as a result of a visitor belonging to a particular segment you've defined.
"Computer" should be the wake word, and everyone would be happy with that thanks to global, english interoperability in all places and contexts.

But thanks to the hubris of corporate branding and marketing departments we are unlikely to have this universally understandable command usable. Instead to use any light switch every consumer will need to ask what bloody set up the person has...
> 3. It is functional.

That's questionable. APL doesn't treat functions as first-class values. Its higher-order functions are limited to "operators", i.e. second-order and no higher.
Nobody else understands it or believes in it like you do.
You're lucky he didn't stick you on one of those awful hotel-affiliated coach buses to Narita, the drivers of which are forbidden from applying steady pressure to the accelerator.

Couple of years later, another study will show the opposite.
Two new block I/O schedulers for Linux 4.12 (2017)
I'm a radiation oncologist specializing in lung cancer. Here's my take:

Immunotherapy is really revolutionizing the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic lung cancer. However, a "revolution" in our world is improving 5-year survival by 10-15% in absolute value. It's not outstanding, but when your baseline is around 10%, improving it by 10% means doubling it. That's why immunotherapy is being adopted so quickly despite its price.

A poster mentioned $100 000 is not a lot if it adds 10 years. It's not as simple. Right now we don't really know if we can stop the treatment. So people often receive the treatment until they progress. If it's 4 years, we're looking at $400k... The cost on society in general will have to be dealt with (and debated) at some point. I doubt insurance companies will continue paying for those treatments "forever", especially considering how prevalent lung cancer is.

Immunotherapy benefits from a great "romantic" story, which helps with its marketing like no other drug. It's your own immune system, your army, waking up and attacking the greatest villain of all; cancer. The alternative, chemotherapy, is often seen as poison. Granted, it has fewer side effects, but it has some, and they can be nasty. Basically, the immune system is in a constant state of equilibrium. You stimulate it too much and it starts attacking your own body. We're seeing some cases of thyroid problems, lung inflammation (pneumonitis), skin problems... Generally speaking though, it's better than most chemos.

Overall, it’s a great treatment but obviously not perfect, crazy expensive to a point that it’s likely not sustainable in the long run. Despite all of the drawbacks, it’s a really exciting time for oncologists as we can finally offer more hope to our lung cancer patients.
Apparently you have not met a Hobbit.
It's not either/or. Something can contact an update server but otherwise function entirely local.
First: You're not wrong that the U.S. is a leader in pharma.

That being said, the only source I can find for your claim is a throwaway sentence in an op-ed on Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2012/07/01/...).

I found some more realistic (and sourced) statistics here: http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2010/11/09/whe...

That has the U.S. at 47% of drugs developed. Keep in mind those are based on drugs approved by the FDA, so it skews towards the U.S., and especially away from countries like Japan. Adjusted for population (I'm not entirely sure this is fair), that puts us neck-and-neck with the U.K., behind Israel, and far behind Switzerland.
It does sound great. My main concern is what happens when devices go out of support. Will MS keep on pushing updates indefinitely? Will there be a mechanism to take over the updating process if they decide that a certain set of devices are no longer supported?
The "cars" vs "trucks" analogy is interesting, considering that in US, SUV's (a category that itself includes a sort of hybrid car/truck) outsell cars with many saying the "sedan" is dying [0]

Why can't you have both?
Aaron Swartz' situation is substantially different. Swartz knowingly violated the terms of service of JSTOR, and deliberately circumvented it's rate limiting. And he knew what he was doing was against the law, he even published a manifesto outlining his intentions to do this as a form of civil disobedience.

The kid in this story just incremented sequential IDs on what was supposed to be public information.
This story resonates with me. I faced a similar charge in college. I got indicted by a grand jury, and it was years before the DA dismissed the charges. Absolutely nerve-wracking, and I was innocent!
I think that is a stretch of a statement. There are plenty of public services that work great as well as many private services that absolutely suck.
Many of those workers have probably been racking up the overtime, so the break shouldn't be bad financially and good for the mental health. But to do it without warning is really shitty: a little bit of warning would have let a proper vacation be planned. You know that vacation requests will be denied once it gets started again.
Exploring Simple Game Algorithms with Color Walk: Binary Heaps
Same as with previous releases: an unknown, invisible, price because it generally comes with the machine. Choose Win x Pro if you want a more "corporate" laptop and get features to connect to the work network, Bitlocker and so on.

As far as I am aware the pitch has not changed - Pro is for for a business environment, Enterprise if you're in need of centralised management of an estate of machines. So no, Pro should not be taking liberties.

So now to be treated professionally I need to buy a laptop with Win 10 Pro and buy Win 10 again to reinstall it / upgrade it with Win 10 LTS? Can you even buy a single copy?
It is only a long hard slog because of the regulators.

You are 100% right that the problem all comes back to regulation. What is missing from the drug development area is any cost benefit analysis. Regulations are made as if there is no cost to the ever tightening and restrictive regulations.
OK, so buy one used. It's just not a big deal for a home developer.
Right, it's hard to get even a crappy job. Except at an Amazon warehouse. There were relatively few hoops to jump through, and I don't think I even had to interview for it.

(Well, "crappy". Aside from the low pay and bad hours, it's alright. I haven't seen any of the abuses that get talked about, although I'm sure they happen elsewhere.)

Over half of new hires quit or get fired - I'm not sure which, but probably both - in their first two months, and they mostly hire for 20 hrs/wk part-time schedules. So it's not hard to see why Amazon is an easy place to find work at.

I've applied to a few hundred jobs in my life, ranging from software development to slinging lattes, and Amazon is the only company that's ever even given me an offer. Most of my male friends are in similar positions: they're pretty smart, but they can't get anything better than FC, retail, truck driver, that sort of thing. (Truck driver was, in terms of pay, the best outcome I know of, but that was one guy and he killed himself over it last year.)

The impression I get from my (generally more successful) female friends is that the only things that matter nowadays are networking and credentials, and most public job postings are only put up as formalities.
FreeRTOS is interesting and useful, but also requires knowledge of the device you are running on as well as implementing drivers. Having done a project involving FreeRTOS, compilation flags need to be customized to the platform one is dealing with.
The article said Stack when I posted my comment. Looks like they corrected it shortly after.
To underline this, the LOC has actually dropped in the next version of the kernel (which has just hit -rc1), primarily because a set of no-longer-used architectures were removed.
i would say that those things are certainly relevant, but it would be perhaps very myopic to say they are the only relevant concepts. one should also keep in mind the intent of the individual attempting to access the property, and the perception of what they're doing when they do within their mind as an expression of that intent, for instance. if i have been to led to believe that your property is public through a means that is debatably authoritative, such as a sign indicating it as such, then for all intents and purposes, anything i interact with inside of it in my mind is perfectly acceptable because it falls within the context of pre-established permissions. and if there are parts of your property that for some reason you would prefer private but they are not demarcated as such, am i really in the wrong to interact with them or go inside of them if i have no external information telling me that i should not?

in the context of the article and the problem at hand, the teenager downloaded a bunch of things that were supposed to be public access, but also accidentally downloaded some things that were confidential though not clearly marked as such (im assuming based on available information) and so the only real way he would have known they were confidential was if he actually perused the contents of them. that would be like having a room that is private property and off-limits, and it is marked as such, but the marking is inside the room and can only be seen by entering it and as such violating the private nature of said room. but really these are all just my thoughts on it and i certainly don't think i'm right or anything. it's just fun to talk ya know
I love how they mentioned Stack Overflow successfully scaled vertically. Inspirational.
Just a note on style--your post reads as a complaint, whether you intended it that way or not. The strong editorial slant actually undermines the meat of the article for me, which is, as you mentioned, documenting the hurdles in publishing a PWA. You could make this a better resource by stripping out the overt anti-Apple editorializing. Let the facts speak for themselves--for those who agree with you. Which I don't. Apple is choosing a deliberate strategy here that privileges users over developers. You prefer that they privilege developers over users, but that's hardly a universal position.
Be careful what you wish for.

Under this definition of 'bias', an unbiased model would, say, spit out equal associations between any occupation and any gender/sex/age/race/religion label.

We should probably ask ourselves whether that's a strictly desirable outcome, since by definition the 'biased' model has a higher predictive value. How much accuracy are we willing to sacrifice for the sake of erasing inconvenient facts about either our world, or our current models of the world?
Yes, there's that. But I'm referring to the visual connection and neurological wiring. There's something about label + picture that transcends just one or the other.

I've developed my own set of, ugh, "collateral" -- avatar, icon, hero -- which seem to work well across several sites. I find the anchoring works pretty well. And see the same for others I follow, again, both over time and sites.

Mostly: G+, Ello, Twitter, Mastodon.

Reddit, HN, and Metafilter would be exceptions.

I'm not sure if Neil Gaiman counts as a Fantasy author but In American Gods this is kind of referenced in a tongue and cheek way where it's insisted upon that they must share a drink of Mead before setting out on their journey 'because mead is traditional for this sort of thing'. Though that also harkens back to mythology which is a large part of the novel.
That should be "Forrester".
Offtopic, it's fun to see french idioms creep in to Gassee's writing. "Gas refinery" is a direct and ill-fitting translation of the french idiom "usine a gaz", which refers to something over-engineered and inefficient. Like a factory that's only producing hot air.

Edit: and it's likely Gassee knew exactly what he was doing by using that term, since that article includes a paragraph about domain-optimizations that don't translate well to others, specifically calling out certain foreign words that have no direct translation. Whoosh to me...
San Fransisco issues cease-and-desist orders to Scooter companies
Hobbits are explicitly noted for being particularly fond of and interested in food, and Bilbo is a wealthy bachelor with, even for a Hobbit, an unusual interest in food.

Being surprised that he has an inordinate quantity of food is like being surprised a wealthy single geek has an unusual quantity of computing equipment.

I think it also included records of the submitter (private data).

Sometimes you get Freedom of Information Act information because you got an individual's consent to release information that would otherwise not be released (e.g. something about your spouse/family member that consented to the information not being redacted).

Perhaps the same portal handled Privacy Act requests where people requested their own information that the government holds.
It's almost as if the incentives of capitalism are inherently exploitative
I just bought a LTE LG Watch (should be in tomorrow) just so I could leave my phone behind exactly due to this kind of effect. I have come to the realization that a huge junk of the time I and virtual everyone around me spends on our phones is wasteful and unproductive. Looking up from my phone around a bar and seeing so many tables full of people staring at their phones kind of makes me nostalgic for the dumb phone era. I am hoping that the smartwatch will be a good compromise between staying connected and not encouraging my own bad habits.
> China wouldn't dare ban the big american clouds because that would, in effect, ban most of legitimate internet for its citizens

They could go the other way and find an excuse to ban them then cite how these capitalist swamp countries are sheltering and fostering terrorists and criminals and people should use Chinese service providers. In other words censorship can be used to reach other goals, besides just controlling the flow of ideas.
All? Or just the ones that others posted links to?
Meth labs also create products with mass appeal and briefly high-paying jobs. Considering how social media is eroding American political discourse, Europe may be better-off in the long run even GDPR is as bad as you imagine.

> You don't see labor getting handouts in the form of welfare and then pulling millions of dollars in bonuses the next year.

Depends on what you consider social expenditures in the us like food stamps, social programs, medicaid , medicare and social security.

> Fighting capital is like fighting your brother for inheritance when your brother won the lottery, you are on welfare cause of a disability, and your brother decides to sue you for the family heirlooms because they feel they deserve it more

Who is paying welfare in this analogy. And who is the court that makes the rules for sueing.

> Look at the article your even commenting on! The workers had to pee in bottles because they couldn't even take care of biology. What did the workers do to the capital owners in this case? Deprive them of a few more dollars in profit because they had the gall to not be perfectly efficient machines?

The workers, as bad as they have it, would have it worse without this option. The best guarantee to improve the conditions of workers is to get more competition going, not to put some rules that can be skirted or worse, will do damage if they are followed. While amazon treats its workers like this, Seattle has expanded is expenditures two-fold, raised taxes and increase the salaries of all its public officials. Why doesnt the washington state, in all its taxing glory help workers directly instead? Because they will make more money if people ask for regulation instead of relief.

Musk's idea is _incredible_ and I really think it has the potential to take off with American car culture. However, I think that might be it's biggest downfall, too. In many aspects, from environmentally friendliness to ridership growth, I think mass public transit would scale better than individuals owning their own vehicle.
