Your second article is very sketchy. It basically evaluates two different sources for various categories of promotion, takes the larger number of the two in each category, and adds a $15 billion vaguely-defined "unmonitored promotion" category. Some of the underlying expenses should not even be counted as "promotion." A quarter of the $60 billion is free samples, which generally are ultimately given out to patients. Other estimates put free samples at more than half the cost of drug "marketing": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_marketing.

A better way to look at it is R&D expenditures as a percentage of revenue: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2013/05/20/ho.... (That is, after all, what we care about at the end of the day--what customers are paying versus what is invested in future development.) Drug companies are in the same ballpark on that metric as tech companies, spending 10-20% of revenues on R&D.
Some clarification would be helpful for nonamericans. Is 650 sq ft considered small?
I never understood this. DI is for deciding program behavior. That should be a user choice. I don't understand how final users are supposed to (1) write XML files instead of providing simple human readable CLI flags, (2) know the program internals and being able to type in fully qualified class names.

$ ./my-server -reporting=email

vs

setting com.mycompany.package.subpackage.di.providers.abstract.ReportingProvider to com.mycompany.package.subpackage.di.providers.impl.EmailReportingProviderImpl.

The whole DI is a wrong concept. Dependencies should be instantiated at top level (main function) and explicitly passed down the call graph as interface instances.

DI breaks the call graph with (configurable) side effects. If you pass down dependencies explicitly you don't even need mocking frameworks for testing.

The physical assembly would likely be a week if you're following instructions and avoiding other people's mistakes.

The person who made it probably made a lot of mistakes that you're not seeing, and is used to working at this level of quality.

You could imagine this whole thing started on a breadboard and IDE at some point, but the final assembly is "print the things that I drew on the computer, glue and screw together".

>I see this as a reflection of the candidates ability to find and listen to experts.

The problem isn't finding experts. There's a lot of smart, well intentioned people in DC. (For example, everyone I met from 18F impressed me greatly, and nonprofit organizations like Mozilla have a presence in DC)

The problem is that both congressional offices and political campaigns are extremely hierarchical.

The culture in a political campaign or senate office is that junior staffers are supposed to be given orders and figure out how to implement them - not suggest different sets of orders.

Sure, current "owners" would try to argue good faith hostile possession. Maybe they win.

It would be interesting to adjudicate whether kidnapping someone and removing them from their land and then selling it to another counts as a criminal conspiracy.

It would also be interesting to adjudicate whether "I didn't think I was stealing, because I don't believe that person is a human being with rights" counts as a good faith argument.

I could see it going either way, but I am excited to see how these cases are resolved. I hope they are brought in my lifetime. There is probably trillions of dollars of property implicated, at least half of which rightfully belongs to first nations people.
I beg to differ, I've seen it adopted in quite a few places by large companies. I've rarely seen it used in startups though. My evidence is anecdotal (so is yours though).

I definitely agree that it's not seeing nearly as much adoption as let's say... TypeScript in the JavaScript ecosystem though.

Funny old world.

There was a popular campaign against the government keeping around the hand written, cardboard ww2 National ID cards on civil liberties grounds. They didn't even all have photos, and were super easy to forge! Attlee had kept them around throughout the Labour administration and proposed using them, and this will sound oh so familiar to anyone who remembers the Blair attempts at an ID card and database, as a "a key that could be used to access all the benefits of the state, from rationing to voting to NHS services". The chief Law Lord in the final appeal said of requiring "all and sundry" to produce ID cards that it "inclines them to obstruct the police instead of to assist them".

It was ultimately Churchill's second term that repealed them in the early 50s. The same decade a Conservative politician and lawyer drafted the first European Convention on Human Rights.

Same old arguments, 70 years on. I'm not sure those Tories would recognise today's bunch though. :)
No it didn't, it brought those activities under a regulatory framework.

The problem the article is highlighting is that police are gathering data from phones outside the powers granted by RIPA. Police are potentially acting unlawfully, and so now we have RIPA we can stop them doing so.

I think the Fedora community is pretty responsive when it comes to fixing bugs that are under their control, and the developers dogfood the desktop enough that they care about these things.

Also, Fedora gets new kernels all the time, and that often takes care of problems that sometimes persist in more "stable" distributions.

I have one mid-level issue per release, I figure, and it is usually patched within a couple of weeks.

I did have a bad experience upgrading from F27-29, so I've only been on F29 for maybe a month or so, and it has been smooth so far. I will probably wait a few weeks to a month to upgrade to F30 to increase my chances of a trouble-free transition.

Zeno’s paradox only seems like one before you learn differential Calculus.

That’s because dx is going to zero, true, but as dt goes to zero.

We have figured out that this converges to an actual number, in a system that is totally consistent and makes sense.

x0 + sum of all the dx converges to x1 just as t0 + the sum of all the dt converges to t1. And that’s the exact time when Achilles catches up to the tortoise.

Zeno’s paradox ignores that dt is going to zero, and always acts like the sum of all the dt is infinity, thus “Achilles will never reach the tortoise” is wrong.

Simple!

The point of this watch is that it's assembled in America with decent labor conditions. I think that's probably why they went with a Swiss movement rather than one from Seiko or Citizen. Perhaps Seiko's environmental and labor practices are part of the reason their watches cost less.
Equilibrium in Cryptoeconomic Networks
Oh, it's because they're a monopoly. Google has a lot of products that people have to use because of the dominance of other products, platforms, or standards that Google controls. So as long as global growth is strong and more people are using the internet, Google will grow amazingly.

If, on the other hand, Google were in a competitive environment, you'd see it growing depending on whether its products were getting better and better.

But as observed in this thread, Google search is entirely ads above the fold. Gmail is becoming a Google controlled proprietary protocol. Etc. etc.

This is true, F29 just happened to ship with an extra-broken default config.

Though I have yet to see any BT implementation that isn't at least a little bit broken. Nobody actually conforms to the spec so you have to attempt to make your noncomforance work with the widest possible variety of other vendors' nonconformance and you'll always find device combinations that just don't work together.
> but I'm not ready to relocate to the US

Even if you wanted to, it's nearly impossible to immigrate to the US as a skilled worker legally.

I have a friend who is an really talented programmer (and a really diligent worker) who studied Computer Science at some of the best universities in Europe: École Centrale Paris and the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland. One of his biggest desires for a while was to move to the US, and live and work in New York. He spent more than 2 years trying to the US, and then gave up. He had even hesitated buying too much furniture while in France, because he was anticipating being able to move to the US.

The only viable option to move to the US for most people in your (and his) situation would be the H-1B visa, which is extraordinarily difficult to get, and requires a miracle to obtain. You need to: (1) have a bachelor's degree that's related to the field you want to work in -- e.g. Computer Science degree for software development work, (2) find a company that's willing to offer you a job that pay at least what Americans make doing the same job, (3) the company must be willing to wait 7-8 months, (4) you need to win a lottery in which your odds of success are about 1 in 3.

(1) and (2) are not too difficult. (3) is quite difficult -- the majority companies do not want to wait for 7-8 months for you to join. And (4) is completely up to chance, and out of your control. (By the way, this lottery is conducted at the beginning of April every year, and you can only start working in October.

My friend fulfilled criteria (1), (2), and the difficult (3). But he did not get selected in the H-1B lottery two years in a row.

The US is essentially a closed country when it comes to skilled immigration. Most of the immigrants who get green cards here are family members, refugees/asylees, and diversity lottery winners. Getting even temporary permission to work in the U.S. as a educated/skilled person requires a miracle from God.

It's not what they said that was rude. It's the way they said it.

Also I doubt that French is objectively harder to understand when spoken poorly than most languages. Especially when you consider tonal languages like Vietnamese and Mandarin.
> How many whale-sized harnesses are just floating around in the sea anyway?

Quite a lot actually. RT was just showing a documentary about the undersea harness plants of Sweden. Apparently they are naturally made of nylon and float up from from the sea floor and attach to Beluga wales to spread their seeds throughout the sea. Absolutely nothing to do with Russia. /s
This bugs me too. The best I can do is make sure that all of my profiles on my social media sites prominently link back to my personal site.

That's kind of my point. Your advice to read books to learn more words is right, in languages like English and German. It does not work well for French because the written French is too complicated and different.
Another reason to have a personal web site is that it allows you to define your digital identity. If you don't, other people or worse, corporations, can easily publish documents, texts, tweets or something else that will make you look in a certain way.

You don't have to post amazing pictures or publish Paul Graham essays, publish once a year and having the link in your email footer is enough to establish to others who you are
“Think nothing of it” is a rare and very stuffy sounding expression in (at least my California dialect of) English. “It’s nothing” is better but still not too common.

As cced already said, common ways of expressing this in American English include “don’t worry about it”, “no worries”, “no big deal”, “no problem”, “you’re welcome”, “my pleasure”, etc.
Many Quebecois are also of a 'more French than the French' mindset when it comes to language purity, if only out of a feeling of self-preservation.

I have had a good native Korean friend quite innocently (although randomly) point out that although I rarely make syntax errors I don't speak idiomatically at all and make weird constructs sometimes.

Sure, I find myself doing the same thing with the Spanish language — especially in a country with very different slang than the US. Even in English. Even in America. Think about how many ways there are to say soda. They'll almost all be understood but some will stick out more than others depending on the context.

I would never think of saying something that to any ESL learner.

Perhaps you should, how else would they learn?
These ideals died with the millions of men killed in the first and second world wars. The decades after the wars could be described as the rise and triumph of sentimentality as the chief characteristic of our culture.

If you read writers like Waugh's trilogy, but also Maughm's Ashenden stories that pre-date Fleming's Bond by some 25 years, the wryness of the "gentleman," was a self possession and self consciousness that reflected a genuine humility, usually based on some religious understanding. A variation on it appears in the original secret identity/super hero story, The Scarlett Pimpernell, where his external ridiculousness also hides an underlying steel.

What made a "gentleman," was the choice to be one. He was necessarily accomplished and formidable at something first, capable of violence or some kind of power, but chose not to use it. Simply being mannered without the underlying steel, was called being a fop, dandy, flaneur, boulevardier, dude, etc.

The reason we don't value gentlemen today is because the necessary underlying competence, skill, and experience itself is humiliating to men who are largely elevated for their capacity for compliance.
The two are interlinked and I believe it would happen naturally in large part. Long patents buttress profits for drug makers, allowing for increased regulatory capture and increased FDA power. The opposite is also true.

Key answer: "And though I live in France, I’m not immersed enough. I use French for work, but I speak lots of English too, including with my kids and husband. I don’t have an “école horizontale” — a romantic partner with whom I speak only French."

I've lived abroad in multiple countries and have met a lot of people trying to learn the language. Without fail, you absolutely have to have either a full-time job in the language, or be romantically involved with someone in the language (without falling back to English) and spend a ton of time with them. That's simply the only way you'll get enough hours of exposure in.

Also you can learn English fluently without living in an English-speaking country, but only by spending basically all your free time watching English TV/films and listening to music. Not just every so often, but you make consuming English content your life.

If you're American living abroad but are married to another American and your job is mostly in English, it doesn't matter that you live in the country -- I've never seen anyone in that situation master the language. It just doesn't give you the necessary thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of exposure, and because it's low-level exposure, you also quickly reach the point where you're forgetting as many words as you're learning, so it's not even cumulative -- you just reach a plateau. There's even an academic name for it, just Google "intermediate language plateau".
It's interesting to know how one can build the one thing for about ~$80 even in small quantities, and everything is available, incl Source.

And there is nothing stopping you from taking the original GPL'd FreeRTOS codebase and merging in all of the MIT licensed improvements. If you make a better FreeRTOS, that's what people will use.

I've seen this happen many times in open source. For example, to this day LGPL's LibreOffice, which started as a fork of OpenOffice, reviews all OpenOffice patches and cherry picks the good ones.[1] On the other hand, Apache OpenOffice can't benefit from any of LibreOffice's patches.

Viral licenses like GPL have an edge and will win out if there is a community that actually cares.

It's true. I worked at a company that was 100% remote when it started and kept the remote culture as it grew from 4 to 25 people, but one city in particular ended up having enough people that they decided to rent space in a big shared office, coworking-style. Ultimately, people who worked in that space ended up being more connected to what's going on, due to physical proximity. You wander past a hallway conversation and you end up joining, or at least knowing about it. You go to lunch with your coworkers and happen to get a little work talk in. You ask questions more easily from someone who's right across the desk from you because you can read social cues about how "interruptible" they are. Jokes come across better in person than via messaging. There are lots of subtle ways in which in-person interaction is just inherently different than remote, and the office people end up tighter.
