Usability is #1

People have different workflows and different priorities in that department, the best thing a browser could do to try and gain market share is keep their mind open to these differences and try and enable all of them. Something most browsers fail at to one degree or another.

For example, I loved firefoxes two address bar approach over chrome's omnibar. I would set the default search on the address bar to route to google's browse by name (it auto selects showing a search results page or going to the first result (i'm feeling lucky) based on how confident it was that the first result was what the user wanted) and the default search on the search bar to google. If I wanted to go somewhere by name I'd type in the address bar, if I wanted to search for something and be sure i got a results page I could just type it in the search bar.

I've used chrome for my daily driver despite loving firefox for one simple reason, and that's the Google Voice extension. It has a little number in the icon next to the address bar, that tells me how many unread voicemails or text messages or missed calls I have on my cell phone, its always visible in the window I have active on at least 1 monitor 99% of the time, and it's the primary way I keep track of incoming text messages as well as missed calls.

I would be lost without this so despite firefox having a lot of features I prefer over chrome, chrome is still my daily driver because of one extension that firefox doesn't have last time I checked.
The author of the article also seems to imply that FDA approval is the only process by which a treatment could be "proven effective." There are many treatments that are already available in Europe but spend years waiting for FDA approval.

There's also the fact that even when a drug does successfully pass through the FDA testing process, there can be a period of up to a year between the drug being successful in Phase 3 trials and actually getting approved for prescription. If you're a terminally ill patient, a 12 month waiting period between "proven in phase 3 trial" and "actually finally getting the FDA's rubber stamp" can be a long time.
Or you could just outsource it to companies like TaxJar that specialize in this and pay a few bucks to have to all done automatically. After this ruling I expect more and more platforms will have this sort of thing built in. One or two more fields to fill out for your products, but otherwise completely automated.
DSM-5 also forgoes Asperger's and just includes it into autism now, which a _lot_ of people with either diagnosis tend to disagree with. There are many different ways autism and its variations present, and trying to "homogenize" them all into a single narrow label masks the complex nature of the condition (IMO).
Did you include a 90 day public disclosure window?
Huh! I've learned something.

Honestly, I have a PhD, doing human genomics, and to me Dawkins is a popular science writer. I don't know anyone in the field of genomics who is an actual working scientist who believes in the 95% number.

Note that the Encode Project defines functional as being transcribed, which is not a widely accepted definition of functional. The whole idea of "function" itself brings a lot of subjective notions into play.

As I said in the parent, I also think "junk dna" is a terrible term. What I prefer stating is, in agreement with Ohno/Kimura's theory of neutral selection, the vast majority of our genome is not under positive or negative selection - i.e. mutations occurring there are neither detrimental, nor helpful, for fitness.

If you look at allele ratios of variants across the genome, the vast majority show evidence of neutral drift.
Those gosh darn profiteers providing optional life saving therapies for patients. Drat them!

I'm not saying the FDA has no purpose but it would be really hard to convince me that giving additional options to people with terminal illnesses is a bad thing.
"Under color of law" means that you're a law enforcement official. Collecting extra tax and then remitting to the state will almost certainly not cause you any issues.
So you assume. As a small business you are unlikely to be audited, but that software could easily be wrong creating a huge minefield and potential liability.
Thanks. I stand corrected I guess. Still, don't think it's a good way to show disagreement but fair enough.

That's not likely, the breaking changes are in the details of API. The fundamentals are the same.

There's a few reasons. Don't forget, it wasn't just two equal coworkers: it was the most powerful man in the company.

First, he agreed – it was in his contract he couldn't do it.

Second, oftentimes it's hard to tell how consensual it is when there's a large imbalance of power. Was it completely consensual? Maybe. But companies have a no-tolerance policy because it's hard to tell, and you don't want managers going around making subordinates uncomfortable, or employees taking advantage of managers.

Third, he now has an explicit bias toward a single employee.

He doesn't deserve to be blacklisted and grouped in with sexual harassers, however he did violate his contract and brought his fate at Intel upon himself.
The manager (the head of a baseball team is the manager, not the coach, for whatever reason) is also responsible for putting on the shift, telling the batter to bunt, calling for stolen base attempts, and other strategic things along those lines.
UAE is quite a freedom-phobic place.

If you're an LGBTQ person, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you're a woman, you might have a bad time.

If you are a smiling person who laughs at a good joke about the administration and likes jokes about administration, you're gonna have a bad time.

I have heard of passports taken away for silly reasons ("we just need it to do some photocopies...") And not given back until the company was "done with you", effectively holding a free person hostage in the state.

I wish you none of the above, but I would read more about UAE and think about it more than twice before boarding that plane.

Good luck, really.
An interesting writeup is also linked there: https://keithjgrant.com/posts/2015/05/against-css-in-js/
"It's true that this will be hard to do, for all the reasons he listed. But some amount of people will be willing to pay a premium for P2P storage, because it can't be censored or ordered to be deleted as easily as data stored on S3."

Some will, but most won't.

I was one of those people, who got diagnosed in my early 30s (wasn't hyper as a child, therefore not AD"H"D, so). My medication, dexadrine, was indeed a revelation. But daily use for a couple of years led to a major mental breakdown, all the "amphetamine psychosis" symptoms. I was paranoid, angry, depressed, and suicidal.

I long ago stopped taking medication for it at all - I don't even have a prescription anymore. I just use coping strategies, many of which are about avoiding situations where it's a problem entirely. I have ADD, and I live with it. Because medication was better, until it was worse.
> China doesn't excel at soccer because of authoritarianism and because the sport is not well understood by anyone and central planning doesn't help

It's hard not to be mean to someone who calls it soccer :-), but this betrays an obvious lack of familiarity with the history of this sport.

USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia all had very strong national teams, pretty much until they were dissolved. Clubs from the communist bloc did not dominate football, but put very convincing performances and were routinely represented in the higher stages of European competitions. Red Star Belgrade and Steaua Bucharest won the Champions Cup within a few years of each other -- all this while players trained in sub-par conditions, worked with sub-par equipment, had access to sub-par medical conditions, research and treatment, and were usually unable to play abroad and further their career at the truly major European clubs.

If anything, the quality of football in most ex-communist countries, Russia included, has steadily declined. Poland and Croatia are the only major and steady exceptions (Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Romania enjoyed some brief stints but not much else), and it's probably no coincidence that their national economies are faring better than those of most ex-communist countries.
Ask HN: How do you hire a front-end developer?
We are trying to interview a front-end developer in India. I know how to interview for JS since I am fairly familiar with frameworks in JS (however, Not very experienced). But I am finding it very difficult to test CSS skills. What are some of the things I should test for CSS?
Agreed, and also that population size and economic power aren't always the end all-be alls for success.

The US has a great women's team in part because lots of women play soccer, and in part because their aren't that many other competitive sports for them to play on a professional level.

The US has an OK men's team mainly because there are enough athletes left over after football, basketball, baseball, and hockey take their cuts to field a somewhat competitive team. They didn't qualify this time around, but they have qualified for seven of the last eight World Cups, so they're doing something right.

In both cases, it has little to do with how much money is spent (if that were the case, the US would dominate the sport) and more to do with how many top athletes decide to play the sport with kids AND stick with it as a profession once they become adults.
> BrainStorm CEO Chaim Lebovits told Bloomberg he’s considering charging $300,000 for each NurOwn treatment

The problem isn’t that they get to try an unproven treatment to see if it works. The problem is that they get to charge desperate people huge amounts of money for it.

Do it for free, as a way to validate a drug and advance research and this wouldn’t be a problem (or at least it’d be a completely different problem).

Speak more.

The trick is to get involved in things where you have to speak more.

If you can, spend time in an English-speaking country. (Canada is amazing, especially Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto.)

If you can't spend time in an English-speaking country, then get involved on-line in virtual worlds that let you talk naturally.

But speak more. And with more people.

Best wishes!
There is a better explanation.

Being talented individual is not enough. They have to play against other equally talented individuals in the highest level professional leagues from the age of 18 to develop tactically and technically. China needs a professional soccer league with top level foreigners or they need to send their best to European leagues. They can do it but it can take several generations.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and has most professional athletes by far. Best individuals from all over the world go to play in best professional teams, mostly in Europe and they continue to grow with better opponents and teammates. Talented Brazilians playing in top leagues all over the world a bring all that with them to their national team. Iceland (population little over 300,000) has professional players playing in England, Russia, Sweden, Netherlands ...
>If a locality can enforce its local tax laws, what other custom crafted local laws can it enforce in return for access to customers? Should it be allowed to enforce its local environmental and labor standards as well?

This is pretty much what happens with California and car manufacturers. Even today on certain aftermarket car parts (primarily exhaust systems), there are explicit notices that they are legal anywhere in the US except California.
I wonder if financial crimes are more common there and the cops are trained to get everyone out of the office so they can seize and copy the records off the computers or something.

Really? A widely recognized reference manual is blanket discredited because it made a mistake in the past (1952-1974, not DSM-3)?
In general you would identify the product type from a list of a lot of product types and then let your sales tax calculator as a service provider sort out what needs taxed and at what rate.
You believe it's the best choice and don't want to hear anything different.

That's nice.
What are the remaining APIs that people need in Electron that are not available in the web browser? And what's the timeline to getting those in the browser to deprecate Electron?

In cases like Slack, I prefer using the webapp because I trust the Chrome team to update quickly if there is a vulnerability in the browser. I do not trust Slack to update its Electron app quickly if there is a vulnerability in Chrome.

So what’s your point? Should no one try to differentiate good surgeons or bad unless they are their peer for years?

There’s lots of crappy programmers with good reputations too. But it’s a weird reply to “he’s a top tier surgeon” that you say it’s unknowable.

I’m sure you’re right, I’m not a surgeon so I have no idea how to evaluate a good surgeon, but there must be some way to qualify the poor ones from the great ones.

Your anecdote is a great example of high reputation, low skill. But is that the only instance. Is it 10%? Are most board certified, practice for 20 years surgeons good or bad? What’s the actionable intelligence, but it seems like the conversation ends with “it’s unknowable.”

I am sort of aware of quality measurement, but not a healthcare practitioner, but I’ve noticed this comment from lots of docs that the only way to know if medicine is good or bad is to have a doctor review it.
The Synergy story became a joke:

This guy Nick Bolton took the project to squeeze it. He never really contributed to quality but turned it into closed source. He claimed, that he need to charge for it to finance dev. However, he only invested into the payment wall backend development instead of finally making a stable product.

Nick promised, Synergy would be a lifetime license for all future versions for $1. Sniff sniff. Yes, you smell the right thing.

He promptly broke that promise with v2 and charged again. $29!

But half of the promised features actually exist and more than half of that actually work. Synergy became a scam.

"Open letter" sounds so cool but it is a letter of promises again. Dont fall for it. IMHO, Nick has all narcissist symptoms: Pictures of himself everywhere on his website and promises of everything to everyone. Typical symptoms.

Dont take my words. Look it up in Google and archive.org. His current roadmap is his roadmap from 2014.
Language does lead to language and from a philosophical perspective, that's a valid observation that doesn't invalidate postmodernism though in fact, it supports that perspective.
I'm not sure, but I bet you're right. It is a medical reference that will change over time as better information becomes available. It's still the definitive manual for classifying mental and personality disorders.
> - If an EU country is owed tax by people resident within its borders, then perhaps the country's tax authorities should arrange for it to be collected, rather than relying on some foreign entity (e.g. Chinese company) to collect it.

As far as my experience goes, that is the case when seller is outside of EU. Buyer needs to pay customs the taxes on the item. In Finland it's common that when package outside of EU arrives in Finland, customs will hold and send buyer a message to declare item and pay taxes on it, especially if the value was declared on it (though they won't tell you what value was declared on it which can get tricky with things such as mixed electronic & physical goods on Kickstarter). It has it's own share of problems, like that buyer needs to figure out the TARIC code of the item (which are extremely specific, like "Waterproof footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or of plastics, the uppers of which are neither fixed to the sole nor assembled by stitching, riveting, nailing, screwing, plugging or similar processes - Other footwear - Covering the ankle but not covering the knee - With uppers of plastics").

Within EU it used to be that seller collected local VAT if their sales didn't exceed certain threshold to the buyer's country (100k IIRC). There has been some talks about modifying it so that seller would always need to collect buyer country's VAT, but I don't remember what is the current state of it is.
Kind of defeats the purpose of bundling your runtime for the purpose of having a single target to test against.

This. I was never a huge baseball fan, but my sons got into it, and observing beyond the surface it is really impressive how many split-second intelligent decisions you have to make in baseball, with (again) quick ad hoc coordination.
>So the optimal strategy for NVidia is to shred those redundant silicon dies?

Potentially, yes. Dumping their current inventory at the market-clearing price might badly affect demand for their next generation of products and damage their relationship with board partners. Lower GPU prices from Nvidia will barely trickle down to customers due to the rising cost of GDDR memory and the fixed cost of all other aspects of AIB manufacturing. Constraining supply to keep prices close to list might be frustrating for consumers, but it's probably in the long-term interests of Nvidia and their board partners, especially considering the weak competition from AMD.
It does.

I find it humourous that the latter is "normal". Netflix and online streaming really have changed our perspective; I'm not even that old (30!) and I wouldn't call "watch any show anytime" normal.
Right, but if we're going to wank poetic about the success of Auftragstaktik it's worth remembering that throwing people at the problem was repeatedly and conclusively even more successful. Should we draw deep business practice conclusions from either of those? The whole thing seems a bit silly.
You are correct. Nearly all aircraft are structurally capable of withstanding 2g maneuvers[1]. This doesn't automatically imply sustained flight, as the induced drag from the high angle of attack may eventually overwhelm a marginal powerplant, but pretty much any aerobatic, commercial, or military craft should be perfectly capable of flight.

The density increase will increase lift, yes, but also drag which is the main enemy. Wings are more efficient at lower angles of attack, so that will improve. The other types of drag will mostly cancel out.

I worked at a defense contractor for awhile. We worked on stuff that could be used to track vehicles and dismounts in urban environments. Sure you could use it to follow someone to drop a bomb on them. You could also use it to give the guys on the ground a few extra seconds heads up when it looks like there might be a car bomb headed their way. The latter use case was the one the users really seemed to appreciate the most (there was probably some feedback I wasn't privy to though). It only takes a couple seconds to swing an M1 around but already having it pointed where the threat will be coming from makes a world of difference in how exposed the guys on the ground feel.
They should start promoting Vulkan for developers.
Or the reverse?
100k * 50 = 5M @ 2% profit margin that's 100k per year.

Enough to live comfortably on, but not exactly a big money. Further, the ruling applies to all taxes and has no cutoff under 100k/year required.
To a certain level you might not feel if your blood sugar is high or normal. But after 250 mg/dl, especially at 400 mg/dl you'll feel it. The most obvious symptom is fatigue and thirst, no matter how much you sleep you will feel exhausted all the time. You will want to drink a lot of water, you will urinate frequently. Your eyes will start to hurt. After being high for some time, your vision might get blurry, your eyes dry, you'll start vomiting.

Also you could smell your urine, if it stinks like ammonia, your blood sugar levels are high.

If your blood sugar levels are normal you feel healthy.

I've been a T1 since I was 10 and this is my experience. The real problem is not noticing highs but noticing lows. Because low blood sugar is much more threatening than highs for the short term.
Languages do not need a 1 to 1 relationship between the storage medium of a value and the interface it exposes to a programmer.

Java's situation is even worse because it's a compiled language that does not need a JIT or even much sophistication from a compiler to keep a single hierarchy on its type system.

I suspect the reason Java did it was to not surprise C++ programmers. Solely dictated by marketing, not by technical reasons.
It is not evil to start charging for a open-source product. However, it IS evil, if you abuse the users money just to build paywall tech instead to improve the software. Look up the bug history and try avoiding the spider webs.
