I was a bit harsh, I admit. That being said, the claim of 10x reduction is definitely a misrepresentation of the research findings. The 10x reduction was not for people who have had HSV-1 infection at some point in their life, it was for people who were diagnosed with an HSV infection at the beginning of the study. Most people who get cold sores don't seek medical attention for that, they just either ride it out, or apply some Abreva that they buy at their local pharmacy. The population that was subject to the study in no way represents 54% of the total population. And then, the population for which the 10x reduction of dementia risk was only a small subpopulation, namely those where an "aggressive antiviral treatment was applied". The actual article quoted ([1]) even stressed that:

"It should be stressed that [...] those treated were the few rare cases severely affected by HSV."

Yes. Its possible, not only in research settings but it has been used for real. Remember that US drone that Iran claimed it captured after it violated it's airspace, which Obama then denied only to later confirm it was captured and asked it back.

It's been captured by this attack. So, great that researchers in the west can now demonstrate it for civilian technology. But news it is not. Not to me at least.

There is much more to managing legal documents than simply tracking content changes. GitHub is not an effective tool for this, read some of the criticisms in the thread. There are better market offerings for lawyers that make signing, printing, and securing documents much easier.

>Who's paying for everything so far?

> So far we have been completely self funded. However, this has proven to be very hard. With most of us working full-time jobs apart from Openbook, it could take us long time till we release the first version and even then, we would not be able to afford the IT infrastructure needed to compete with any of the established networks. As we wanted the project to be driven by people and not capital, we decided to go for crowd-funding. We'll be launching our Kickstarter campaign on the 17th of July.

They don't appear to have a revenue model. I'm not sure if they consider donations from kickstarter revenue, but so far its their only source. I don't think passing on 30% of donations to FoundersPledge is really changing the world
Sure, the given solution is nice. But the absolutely critical thing is that both people would think of it, eventually, which I doubt. The given solution seems to confuse quite a bit of people.

Are there other solutions?

The first "solution" I thought of was the first friend just using their "pass" as a simple signal of how many statues they have. This has the benefit of being very simple and more likely for someone to think of it themselves. Sadly it does not work because there's no way for them to signal the "end" of when to stop counting.

My current Dropbox set-up: three hard drives, two of which are SSDs, each of which have a different OS (Windows and Linux respectively) and one really big HDD with NTFS to share data between the two of them. Which also is the Dropbox folder. In practice I only reboot to Windows to defragment the NTFS drive drive, but sometimes it's useful for develpoment.

Makes it quite easy to migrate to a new computer, or do a fresh install if I want to clean up the OS.

The only hassle is that Dropbox doesn't let you link an already existing Dropbox folder in Linux. Which is fixed by renaming the folder, "creating" a new one, moving all hidden files to the renamed folder and renaming it back.

I'm considering moving to another service, but it's just so convenient and the price is OK.

Buzzword salad. Basically meaningless.
Since the beginning certain people had hoped to find a smoking gun with a vote counting machine that would show unequivocally that the Russians were pulling the lever for Trump. As far as I can tell that hasn’t happened. Russia has found that it is more effective to spend a million dollars for bloggers than it is with ridiculous excercises like dropping leaflets from planes. Russia is influential in our national affairs I used to be into conspiracy minded sites and the Russians never do wrong but america is evil attitude is very strong and it feels planted. Back in the 80s a kgb defector named Bezmenov explained his job then and it seems like little has actually changed.

The problem I see is the usa also uses the same simple tactics of subversive and destabilizing political manipulation of other nations like Russia does. It isn’t good that we don’t actually result with good. So there is no ends that could justify the means here. We have to consider we aren’t the good guys. I am sorry to offend anyone with this..

As for cnn, washington post, or even the nyt: they will never see a ray of hope with trump. The real news is if Fox News turns their back on President Chaos. Reuters, NPR, Bloomberg, and Financial Times carry more weight for me any more.
You are considering only the extremes. There's also a ground between ordinary adversaries and nation-state agencies.

Take for example China. There are plenty of rumours about business executives taking throw-away electronics while crossing the border or how China installs some random software on people's devices when crossing a border neighbouring a certain province[1]

FDE can also lead to increased suspicion when crossing a border and refusal to unlock the system can pretty much lead to a denial of entry or, worse, detention. FDE also doesn't help in cases when a random border crossing can require installing a malicious boot-loader or a persistent malware somewhere in the system.

In the China story, they might not be installing a persistent bootloader but there's nothing really stopping them from doing that.

Honestly, in certain cases (and I'd rather say, a lot of cases) it's just easier to have no device than deal with what they did to your device after the fact or just sell the device after entering if you are suspicious of it.

What evidence do you have for low alcohol content of early beers? Modern beers fermented with wild yeast[0] have roughly the same ABV as beers fermented with selectively bred yeast, and it's rare for modern beers to aim for the highest ABV the yeast is capable of fermenting. ABV is more commonly a consequence of how much you choose to dilute the wort.

Higher ABV requires less fuel for heating the water, and results in a product that keeps better, so why wouldn't some early brewers produce it?

> So, we’re changing our approach of recurrent donations. Instead of distributing them weekly we’re going to distribute them as soon as the money arrives. For example, instead of disbursing a payment of €26 for a weekly donation of €0.50 as 52 weekly transfers of €0.50, we’ll do a single transfer of €26 and inform the recipient that it corresponds to “52 weeks of €0.50”.

Out of all the scamcoins out there I wasn't aware that Bitcoin Cash had such a reputation, if anything it's one of the rare forks that actually seem to have a real technical reason behind it (the whole segwit vs. large block debate). Furthermore since it's a fork of the original Bitcoin chain the creators couldn't use the usual tricks to "pump and dump" where they pre-mine a ton of coins to prepare for the dump.

I mean I'm a cryptocurrency "hater" myself so as far as I'm concerned it's scams, greed, poor understanding of economics and technology all the way down but I'm surprised to see Bitcoin Cash singled out that way, it always seemed relatively reasonable to me (as far as cryptocurrencies can be at least). If anything the segwit/lightning network proponents did seem a bit disingenuous back then (pre-fork), presenting their technology as the panacea to Bitcoin's scaling problems while conveniently ignoring or hand waving practical issues with their proposed system (possible centralization, whether the system could genuinely remain usable at scale etc...). They also generally demonstrated the usefulness of the lightning network by always taking scenarios best suited to the system (recurrent coffee buys at starbucks for instance) instead of "worst case" situations where lightning made a whole lot less sense and had a ton more overhead. That's a common issue all over the cryptocurrency space however...

So just like the US today, for example when you become the victim of asset forfeiture.

The very first time I visited the US a few years after German reunification after two and a half months on the road (literally) my final thought was "beautiful, but what a police state". Yes, the "free" US of A. I chose to live there later - a contradiction? Not really, it was a compromise I was willing to make, up to a point - I did return to Europe in the end when I could have stayed, a Green Card was possible.

Thanks for the data point.

One of the challenges at my workplace is that these devices are currently so large and expensive that it's only practical to install them in some of our meeting rooms. But with heavy competition for meeting rooms, depending on these boards for routine meetings (e.g. daily standups) gets dicey.

So for us, they might become practical only when the price comes down enough for them to be ubiquitous, readily available, and (hopefully) on mobile stands.

In the meantime, we're looking into alternatives involving devices small enough that every developer can have them on his/her desktop, and put them away when not in use.

Microsoft seems to have some nice offerings in both form factors, but as a mixed Mac/Windows shop, MS-only solutions won't work. We need something that can be entirely hosted behind our firewall and has good clients for Mac, Windows, and (ideally) Linux.

> Meanwhile I wonder how people have time to finish entire seasons of TV shows on netflix, given the modern trend of story-driven shows that assume you've actually seen all the previous episodes instead of pre-internet-era sitcoms that you could jump in and watch any 30-minute episode with little context. Twitch is more of a return to old-school TV in that regard.

Is this really true?

I know I watched random episodes (Malcolm/Seinfeld/Friends/etc..) and enjoyed it. But re-watching them in the proper order is magnitudes better and clearly the way it was supposed to be watched.

I wonder if the same is true for modern TV shows, e.g. the big bang theory - it can be watched and enjoyed by picking a random TV show. Even longer form, say Firefly/Dark Angel/Twin Peaks require you to watch it in order - yet they could be enjoyed on their own as well (you had basically no choice anyway..).
You don't build a social network around tech, you bootstrap it with a community. Bootstrapping it with Open Source enthusiasts is fine. If you say "we're yet another social network" you have no value proposition. Not that I think that "we're yet another Open Source social network" is good either...

Also, the fact that a grandma doesn't know what Open Source means doesn't really concern me, but the fact that the children of someone who posts on HN and works at Google don't, does. Maybe that's part of the reason why proprietary, centralized services are winning.

Anyway, I do have concerns along the same line, not because "Open Source" is on the front page but because:

- The team is not diverse enough in terms of experience. The COO is an "information-security expert"; the CMO is a "security and international relations expert"; the Chief of Product is a "pragmatic software engineer" and "crypto-geek". This is a problem, even though not necessarily deadly.

- They plan to allocate 70 % of the budget to software engineering, and basically 0 % to marketing / user acquisition / community management. This is the biggest red flag for me.

And not only that, it's crazy how much the simple act of going to a university and surrounding yourself with other university educated people contributes to raised wages. For example, I have met a factory worker who through the internet have read a ton and learned several topics to a high level in his free time and he is undoubtably driven but there are so many behvioural and cultural reasons why people would pass over him in an instant.

> It is also a strong possibility but wouldn't Mangopay would have given some time for Librapay to adapt to the regulation ?

No anti-money laundering law doesn't work that way

> The fact that they stop the contract so soon without previous warning (unless Librapay is not disclosing everything) is what make it really weird for me.

That is completely normal (in fact giving notice is pretty lenient), if a financial institution suspects you of money laundering weird things will begin to happen to you such as freezes, orders being ignored, surprise account closures, etc. You will under no circumstances receive an explanation as that in itself is a serious criminal offense because it is considered to be helpful to money launderers when you explain to them what they did that aroused suspicion.

Note to readers: if weird things start happening to your bank account (delayed or ignored payments, logouts, etc) get on the phone to the bank and be as helpful to them as you can be. That is typically the only way to get this resolved.

From all its many many wars and killings to internal things like asset forfeiture or biased sentencing of the poor to for-profit prisons.
