Everything has a risk though, not even an exaggeration, actions or inactions. The problem with disucssing fasting is that it's not widely supported in modern western health, so there's little discussion or common knowledge about how to recognize problems during fasting.

What is great about problems during fasting though, generally speaking, to solve them is as easy as breaking the fast.

There are fasting clinics where doctors monitor the urine output from patients to determine if their body is expelling too many toxins at one time, and help control the fast.

I think that so far a weak professional league it's one of the main factors. Yes they're being able to hire some good players and coaches, but they go there because of the money and don't are at the top of their game. For example, Andre Villas Boas left the chinese club he was coaching in order to participate in Dakar rally. That would never happen if he was coaching a european club.

Investing in youth academies will be the best path to achieve a comparative level to some european leagues.

It would be interesting if they are already doing this and for how long, because we don't see any significant results yet.

My understanding is that road damage is linked to tire pressure and contact surface, and that bus and trucks with bigger tires have a larger contact surface hence the same pressure as a car and therefore don't do more damage than a car.
Sure, just declare bankruptcy.
No, "disorder" is explicitly clinical. The words "retarded", "dumb", and "stupid" are pejorative.

Calling autism a disorder is an accurate paychiatric description, not a value judgement designed to insult a person's identity. An insult can be targeted at a person's autism, but not simply by describing it according to clinical terminology.

I sympathize with people who don't believe autism should be considered a disorder, but that doesn't mean discussion needs to be encumbered by walking on eggshells. In particular, admonishing someone for using established clinical terminology is unproductive.
It's not rocket science. Establish tax-switching policies.

Make it less attractive to take the car by building automated car tolls and let the drivers pay. Subsidize public transportation to make it cheaper for the citizens.

That's basically what has been done in Stockholm (even though I wish it had been done to a greater degree, public transportation needs to be even cheaper). Cars destroys our shared environment and expanding it's infrastructure costs plenty (space, money, pollution). Of course it should be heavily taxed so that cycling, bus and subway infrastructure can be financed.
Experiment first physics has worked perfectly well since pre-history up to to the first half of the XX century. In fact, it has a much better track record than theory first, so much better that they are barely comparable.

Also, theory first is barely working nowadays too. The entire field has a problem, and that problem looks much more like "all the easy problems are solved already" than "we must think things through before testing them".

Anyway, I do agree that experiment-first is much harder to sell. People dig for a good looking theory, even if it's worthless.

I'll attest to that, at least anecdotally: we sell primarily to small software companies and have a lot of customers in the EU that tend to run the gamut in terms of makeup, whereas in the US almost all of the small companies are being tended to by older developers that started them in the 90s.

I've also noticed that in the EU (and other places outside of the US), developers are more likely to use non-mainstream languages and tools and aren't so hung up on the current trends.

But, again, this is all anecdotal and subject to my own biases.
I can't point you to a specific place, but I recall that I made the same claim (downvote for disagree is wrong on HN), and deng corrected me.

I still think it's a lousy way to run a discussion. (Too low a bandwidth - you only get one bit of information.) But it seems to be the rules here.
I am so glad Sony doesn’t offer crossplay, especially with PC, for one simple reason: It’s nearly impossible to cheat on a PS4 game, and a console ban costs hundreds of dollars, and that protects me from being exposed to cheating; via save files, via video driver hacks, via ‘I only use it for development’ memory patchers. (Network manipulation cheating still occurs, but that can’t be used without other players reporting you, and is an issue on all platforms.)
In the article, tbey only mention that HHV-6 and HHV-7 virus levels are increased. Don’t really see where causation is implied at all. It’s the same with elevated levels amyloid beta, only one piece of the puzzle.
Public transit works great in other countries. People in the US don’t like it because of the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” thing, so we make up all these reasons about why it can’t work while setting up all future public transit up for failure (defunding, not letting it pass through areas people would want to travel to/from, failing to maintain it, bike-shedding for decades instead of building something, etc). As much as I hate to say it, I doubt we’ll see any successful public works projects happen in the next decade or two, and only then if things drastically improve.
Nah it's not ever been called that either. It seems it was technically "European Champion Clubs' Cup" but I have literally never heard that term in my life (and I know a LOT of Celtic fans who have a lot to say about a certain night in Lisbon in 1967).

Mainly my comment was just a playful "maybe don't get snippy with someone's terminology, nobody's perfect"
Have you tried five-a-side soccer? Great sport! But it does need a special pitch for sure - much smaller than an 11-a-side field but still a hindrance.

Over here (Uruguay) there's a whole cottage industry of five-a-side soccer fields, many workers play it after office hours.

Edit: as a side comment said, poorer people usually cordon off a stretch of road and play there, that's also very very common (especially during the day when there's no much traffic). Two rocks (or logs, or bundles of clothes) can serve as goalposts.

What happens to the student loan system going forward? You can't declare a jubilee and then keep on giving out loans -- everyone will expect another jubilee and there will be so little confidence in the system you might as well get rid of it.

Unless you have a replacement system to help people pay for college, and it is already operational, destroying the student loan system would guarantee that only rich kids get to go to college.
>Pharma conpanies want therapies to work because billing insurance companies at scale is where the money is, not individual patients.

I mean that's wrong because the article directly states that they're charging lots of money for this therapy so that they have an incentive. If 'the real money' was in insurance at scale, why does NurOwn require an additional monetary incentive beyond free test cases? Obviously they care about being able to bill individual patients. Especially in right-to-try cases because the type of person willing to pay to try an experimental therapy is often the type of person who would hand you everything they own.

>The result of blocking this is to say that dying patients should just die, tough shit, but hey at least they will die with more money right?

Most of these people are going to die anyway and many will now die experiencing side effects they had no way of knowing about. They'll also leave their families nothing. Marketizing healthcare has already raced us to an ugly bottom. This law creates a new and even lower bottom to how pharmaceutical companies are able to take advantage of some of the most desperate people our society has. That's not a good thing.
Good call on thinking about timing, I'm probably too flexible, and having not thought about it, I'd definitely agree to something I didn't want :)
> Pharma conpanies want therapies to work because billing insurance companies at scale is where the money is, not individual patients who can't pay.

I agree. But the problem with this new policy is that it incentivizes scammers which are new actors who do not care about trying to get legit patients at scale.
Deshowitz basically is a legal nerd who fails to let political ideology cloud his legal judgement. People are upset he isn’t toeing an imagined party line.

Sometimes I think republicans tolerate dissent a little more gracefully amongst themselves than many dems, ironically, given dems present themselves as the party of tolerance.

AKA the statement against self-interest exception...

I wasn't trying to give a lecture on the meaning of hearsay. But if you want to get didactic, the statement must be made by an opposing party and offered against them (i.e., is against their interests). A statement that is offered in support of an opposing party is, oddly enough, still hearsay. I have actually dealt with that issue in district court. This can happen in multi-party litigation, where you have cross-claims. For example, X, Y, and Z are parties to a lawsuit and have claims/counter-claims, cross-claims against each other. A statement by Y entered by X against Y would be admissible, but a statement by Y entered by Z could not be used in support of Y.

>You're misrepresenting the OP.

no. The OP's "entirely different" is that religious dogma of "only humans have soul". Poisoned by the human exceptionality dogma over thousands of years, people refuse, implicitly and explicitly, the continuous incrementality of evolution and continue to cling to the divine-based "entirely different" like a drowning man clings to the flotation device.
I think that’s survivorship bias. There’s probably more failed entrepreneurs with the same experiences.

Haha while I'd love to do a walk-out sometime in my life, I'd want the company to have earned it before I give it to them.
Maybe a more precise wording is "you can be forced to collect tax from others and must pay registration fees to collect said tax by politicians you do not elect and who act knowing you are powerless to object."

The sentiment is still the same.
Tech co-founder urges Indy to reconsider Bird
I feel like he is more pointing out the clear mismatch of priorities. As soon as you have the mortgage requirement that bill is there and asking for money every month forever and you getting paid RIGHT NOW when that bill's over your head starts to become a dominating factor in business decisions. A lot of the arguments in the comments here have to do with this kind of problem- we keep trapping ourselves in financial instruments that require more regularity than any early business or even early-mid business can provide. Student loans are one, but so are home mortgages and so on.

I know I am trapped by this right now- the clock that takes a good chunk of my monthly net makes you risk adverse.
Sony is missing out on a partnership with Steam, especially if they would just support Vulkan on PS5. The PS5 could also be a "Steam machine".
Thanks for the comment! I may give it another look.

(although a big reason behind why I haven’t is that I mainly play on consoles now, will have to see how well it runs on my shitty machine!)
> A native notification bar icon, shortcuts in the menus/app launchers

This already works out of the box. "More tools -> Create shortcut..." in Chrome will create a launcher in the Gnome menu that will open Slack in its own window without a location bar.

> the app not exiting if i need to restart the browser, the app not being affected by extensions I install (adblockers, etc).

I want to be able to modify web apps, and I want to restart all webapps when I receive a security update for Chrome.

I don't think the advantages outweigh the risks for most Electron apps that also have webapps.

> Also, the whole point is that these people are not guinea pigs. They are allowed access to promising therapies in late stage clinical trials in the hopes that they will help them, not just random investigational compounds

I'm not positive, but I think this only requires drugs to have passed Phase I clinical trials. And that, according to the article, NurOwn's Phase II trials showed it was unable to slow the progression of ALS compared to a placebo.
Exactly. Bad and/or wrong is worse than nothing at all.
He's simply expressing views contrary to his peers, which seems unbelievable to liberals because liberals don't seem to allow that anymore.
In my experience, only the founders of startups make any money. If the startup is successful, then the founders walk away with millions. Everyone else would be financially better off if they worked for a large company instead.

Also, the executives of the startups take free trips and expense everything on the company's dollar. While the employees receive low pay.

I don't think the large companies are winning. The startups are killing themselves.
To everyone saying they are OK with this because they don't watch sports:

I think the whole point of OPs comment was that if you do like sports this isn't for you, and that's true.

It really is one of the only things missing from these packages. You don't have to be a sports nut to want/miss it: just occasioally catching things like the superbowl, playoffs, etc., is enough to miss it.
I didn't realize Daniel Quinn died in February
Almost every other product they buy is not a matter of life or death where they are personally emotionally invested in the outcome.

Also, how does the market work if the customers die (because the treatment is a sham) before they can warn other potential customers? What stops me from peddling snake oil to every dying person, knowing that other dying people will never hear about how it doesn't work?
The wearable that changed my life
One word: comfort.

Riding the public transportation systems meant I would arrive at work sweaty (hot crowded train and bus), with a backache (inadequate seats) and a headache (noisy engine).

Those issues made my life so miserable that I swore never to ride those again.
Do the consumers pay the tax to the federal government? No? Then it's not a tax on them, but on the businesses that pay the tax. Business's can choose to charge consumers directly for this, but for online retailers that means additional complexity in the checkout and billing process.
I really would want to see Nintendo Switch to get even more mainstream than it is now.

Not that I appreciate their way too (supposedly the anti-piracy / console-locking measures in Switch are first grade?) but this would put pressure on Sony to possibly stop blocking cross-play.
I said to make college free: tuition, room, and board, so long as you keep adequate grades. Stop the loan system entirely. Sorry, I must have been unclear.
> Companies are hardly going to make tons of money on unapproved therapies anyway, because the word will get out if x patients tried it and had no benefits.

That seems wildly optimistic to me. Companies, especially pharma, will always find ways to 'make tons of money'. The second part of the sentence assumes a level of disclosure (from the companies) and rationality (on the part of average people), that I don't believe exists in the world. There are plenty of examples to back that up, especially people's willingness to believe self-serving 'facts'.
OK: Shipping billions of bug-ridden chips
NOT OK: Dipping your pen in the company ink
I think that in any large company in a market leading position with a lot of turnover, it's essentially impossible to convince them to act in their own long-term best interest. Microsoft is acting scrappy right now (because they have to) and Sony is acting like a self-satisfied dinosaur (because no one is going to get promoted for doing anything different).

Sony is thinking short term - "If we open up on Fortnite, we'll sell less content now through our digital store". So no one at Sony is willing to fight for this. It won't make any charts go up for the next quarterly earnings.

But the long-term view is that they are teaching an entire new generation of gamers that "Playstation is the worst place to play Fortnite - the world's most popular game". That is going to be a disaster the next time new consoles are released - just like how Microsoft made similarly dumb moves when they first launched the XBox One.
We don't. We're one of those mom-and-pop businesses that uses a self-hosted shopping cart, and use Braintree as our payment processor which has no sales tax recording system that I'm aware of.
They should already be here. But I recently learned that our "enlightened" government decided to outlaw computer programs from making medical diagnosis.

This is weird to me, because my social circle is full of Berklee and conservatory grads in these spaces, they all live here and are successful in their fields... and yet they have a better chance of their work being staged in Texas or Baltimore than they do here.
Why not talk to the LA Times and encourage them to be GPDR compliant? For everyone, not just EU citizens.
I see a opening for a SaaS business, that can automate and outsource this, and figure out how much tax is due per transaction, and then make the payments for small businesses - its something online payment processors like stripe, for example could do too.
I would chalk the market cap differences up to the differences in the industries. Internet search is more than 5 times the size of console gaming, and vastly more profitable.

I think a true quantitative comparison would have to account for market size, market share, age of the market, and typical industry profit margins.

A qualitative comparison might be more instructive, though. How many truly successful user experiences have been built on top of Facebook? Newsfeed, Messenger, and Ads? Maybe Farmville? On top of Google? Search, Gmail, Analytics and Ads? Less than a handful for both. Playstation, on the other hand, has had thousands of successful user experiences over a twenty year period.

Facebook, Google, and others often seem to have an adversarial relationship with their 3rd party developers. I could only imagine what types of amazing experiences we could be enjoying if they adopted the licensing model that's led Sony to dominate its industry for 20 years.
Yeah I would expect to see it compile to bytecode. It seems pretty wild to transpile to a language to compile to bytecode to run in a vm when there is already bytecode and a vm to execute against.

Transpiling is common in js only because there isn't/wasn't a standard like webasm.
SQL 2017 is still the fastest mainstream RDBMS and now runs on Linux too, using that same PAL architecture to abstract the differences. Features like columnstores, in-memory tables and graph processing make it one of the most versatile systems today.

If only it had simple upserts, array types and proper json support, small details that make a big difference.
I'm in Colorado and I had to pay $66 up front. $50 is a deposit and $16 is the fee every two years. I see that California doesn't have a fee but I know other states do.

TaxJar will register for you in the States that you need for ~$100 per state, plus their fees (https://www.taxjar.com/state-registrations/) -- I'm sure Avalara does something similar but that's ~$5000 that a small business probably won't have.
