Who's asking everyone to report suspicious behaviour ? You have raised a _strawman_ argument. Automatic surveillance of public property and public spaces is in my opinion necessary for analysis, investigation and prosecution of terrorists. This must be done by career intelligence folks not by amateurs.
Do you know what the Netflix culture is regarding remote work ?

I've been looking for a job for the first time in 10 years of Python, and Netflix is one of the rare big companies that I still have respect for.

https://jobs.netflix.com/ has several offers I would be a good fit for, but I'm not ready to relocate to the US.

This isn't a very useful comment in this form. What aspects of these specific use cases would be better served by a type-safe language? Why is type safety the most important attribute of language choice in this scenario?
I guess for those queries it depends on lot on what the ad spend is in your particular locale, since you want those particular businesses to be close by. We certainly have plenty of lawyers and mortgage agents here in Kitchener, but perhaps they aren't big into advertising on Google.

Just going to throw out the call/sms blocker I use and love:

https://github.com/kaliturin/BlackList

I have no connection to the software other than being a satisfied user. Yes, it's open source. Yes it's Android only.

Yes, it's SMS app is bare-bones. And the UI is ugly.

That's the tradeoff for this kind of thing. It's a shame there isn't an active development community around it making it so much better.

The basics are all there and they work great. Mainly if the UI was updated, and certain "extras" were added to the SMS app (for me, that'd be emoji/smiley usage and photo upload/download) - it would be perfect. But I'm willing to put up with the "bad" to gain the "good" parts of the app.
Felix doesn't appear to have support for extensions. That would be very unfortunate if Mozilla has chosen this route. Hopefully they plan to include support for them.
Here is a better resource: https://www.state.gov/m/fsi/sls/c78549.htm

Both resources list the languages according to "time to Professional Working Proficiency" level. Not native level.

Learning any language to a native degree is going to be exceedingly difficult. French has more difficult pronunciation and spelling rules, significantly moreso than Spanish or German. Even for native English speakers.

The fact that overall, learning French is easier than say Korean, does not change the fact that French has difficult pronunciation.
It’s not if the income stream and high yield rate from a seller financing deal is more important to you (as the maker of the note) than a lump sum of cash. Everyone has different financial requirements, collateral they’re willing to put at risk, etc. You’re using today’s dollars (or assets) to find ways to buy more of tomorrow’s dollars (“investing”).

The paperwork isn’t too difficult to put together either.
No. As I mentioned, automatic surveillance of public spaces is OK. Automatic surveillance of private spaces (which includes your phone) is not.

The Koch method of learning morse code addresses that by never introducing an intermediate visual representation of the dits and dahs.

Instead, you listen to audio sequences and transcribe them directly to the characters of your language. So instead of learning the language visually, you learn to understand the sounds which is far more natural.

There's a great free site that teaches morse code in this fashion if you ever decide to give it another go: https://lcwo.net/

One thing that's really helped me learn languages is watching tv shows or movies with native subtitles. I had this revelation years ago in Spanish class. At the time, I had taken years of Spanish in school and yet I could barely speak or understand Spanish.

One day, our teacher made us watch Pan's Labyrinth with Spanish subtitles. It was such a struggle to watch, but because the movie is so good we paid attention anyway, and context clues help you along the way.

I vividly remember the next morning on the subway to school, where there were two men speaking Spanish and I suddenly realized I could understand everything they were saying. It totally blew my mind that I could finally understand Spanish!

I used this same technique years later when I lived in Italy for a summer. It was a lot of work, but I did the following:

1) Learned enough basic Italian grammar that I could translate a sentence by looking up words & conjugation rules
2) I watched Italian movies, both good and "blockbuster" ones, with English subtitles so I could understand the movie
3) Then, I re-watched the movies with Italian subtitles. If I saw/heard a sentence I couldn't immediately understand, I'd pause and hand translate it

Even though Spanish & Italian are quite similar, this was still surprisingly effective. I also enjoy watching movies, so it was also quite fun =)

There's probably some science as to why this technique works, but I don't know. It's probably because watching tv/movies is most similar to real-life conversations, as opposed to what you get in a classroom or a book. I never knew how to write an essay in Italian, but I also never cared.
They don't do it.
The FDA has a mechanism (market exclusivity) that is intended to compensate for regulatory delays.
Having been through the early phases of this (both as bench scientist and management, up through Phase II) I can say that this author's analysis is right on.

There is a macro wrinkle he doesn't mention and that makes things worse: as we increasingly succeed on stopping the big killers (e.g. lung cancer, CIs, various accidents that constituted most of the causes of death into the 1990s) the histogram of death starts to flatten out. That is, an increasingly larger set of conditions kill people, each condition killing a smaller number. At the limit, everybody would die of a unique condition.

This "problem" has been well understood for decades. The current model doesn't really work as this process continues, but nobody really knows yet what would be a reasonable replacement. This is one reason you see more and more ads for drugs that don't solve anything life threatening but have a larger prevalence (e.g. incontinence, insomnia, et al).
I agree with everything you are saying. Let me rephrase what I was saying so you can see we more or less agree.

The article is complaining that there are no randomized control studies and using this to conclude that there is little evidence to support flossing. They are simply disregarding other types of studies like the observational study you are pointing out have value. These observational studies show such clear benefits to flossing that directing a person to stop would be considered unethical. I am pointing to a more facile example where you would never imagine performing a randomized control study because it is obvious that the no treatment control is dangerously unethical.

Doctors end up being susceptible to public misconceptions just as much as the general public. Not everybody reads original research or health guidelines. So someone hears that the official guide recommends 2.5 liters of water, with no mention of the accompanying note that most of this comes through ordinary food intake, and they misinterpret it as needing 8 glasses of water a day. That is the case for the 8 glass a day myth: no scientific study ever recommended it, but half readings of some literature seemed to imply it.

If you like myths like those, read through https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/water-works-2/ especially when it gets to the diuretic effects of caffeinated beverages. I mostly learned about this when I started talking to foreigners about it and realized it just wasn't common knowledge outside of North America that caffeine causes dehydration.
Justice isn't something that requires a certain threshold of magnitude. Maybe it's mere entertainment. Doesn't justify injustice.
> I'm not that interesting; I don't have anything to show off; and inevitably it'll either become a chore or go out of date.

I think it's a good idea to have a personal web site. If someone wants to find out more about you, they have a chance of hearing your side of the story: what's interesting to you, what you've shared with the world, and so on. If you only post on Facebook, Twitter, etc., then when those sites disappear or change their terms of service your information doesn't disappear. Do you want those companies in complete control of what others learn about you, or do you want to have some control? There are many former powerhouses of social interaction that have since disappeared, including MySpace, AOL, Google+. But if you own your own web site, you decide if it will remain available, not someone else, and what it will say.

You don't need to be "interesting". Everyone is probably interesting to someone anyway, and I think that's the wrong thing to strive for. Instead, think of things that you could share that might be useful to someone else, and share them. If you've helped someone else, then you've provided value to the world, and that's all anyone can ask for.

There's no requirement that you keep everything "up to date". Put a date on what you release, modify it if you update, and that's that. If it was released 20 years ago, it'll make the time clear. And really old stuff can still be really useful.

I just Googled myself, and my home page returns the top rank to me. Sure, it might not to others, but clearly it's possible to be easily findable even with a somewhat common name.

Regarding "enough interesting content"... you don't need to have a lot of interesting content. Post at least one thing that you believe helps at least one other person. Now your site has value to someone else. To me, that's enough.

Yes. In 2016 the FTC stopped Shinola from claiming their watches were "made" in America. Much more accurately they were "assembled" in America (Detroit) from foreign parts [1].

I entirely agree with the FTC, their claims were dishonest. As a point of comparison, Switzerland regulates what percentage of the watch must be Swiss before it can be claimed to be "Swiss," but it's not an easy question. For example, with completely made up numbers, low wage Chinese manufacturer sells mostly finished movement for $20 that required 4 hours to make. High wage Swiss assembler puts in another hour, at a cost of $40. Total time is 5 hours, 80/20 Chinese/Swiss and total cost is 60, 33/67 Chinese/Swiss. From time perspective, it's a Chinese watch, but from cost perspective it's Swiss.

It might be the passive aggressive attitude itself rather than a reaction to the language. A frequent example is Parisian waiters in bistros. It is an old tradition for the waiter to be slightly cavalier with the clients, and for the clients to respond in kind. But it’s a kind of a parisian joke. Though I get how it would put off foreigners. But many other trades have their ritual (like a souk in Marrocco).
The reason why Parisians are so rude in this context, as I've heard from several French natives, is that time is money. Most interactions with tourists in Paris are transactional. If a shopkeeper or restaurant server can spend two minutes with one customer in not-perfect French, or 30 seconds in not-perfect English, and there is no recreational value for the Parisian to the slower choice, then the Parisian will renegotiate the discussion's language to the faster choice.

You could call that helpful if you're optimizing for fastest transaction. For tourists who might have spent years in school learning the French language, and many recent weeks on Duolingo refreshing before the trip, and who are optimizing for a richer local experience, it's thoughtless and rude. Both viewpoints are rational.

Initially I tried to get the users to summarize articles, users can actually send their own summaries on every article already (when you click on +more on the card). It would start with a robot summary and people would correct it or extend important points to it. But that only works if I have users :) And then a weekly summary would be easy to achieve.
I set up dmarc some years ago. The xml files are kind of a pain, but you really only need to look at them for a couple days or weeks, then you can remove the reporting address from your dmarc record, because once you're convinced the config is correct, there is no actionable information in the reports.

This is a fantastic writeup. There isn't a lot of great info online about the business of pharma but this is a great intro that hits on a lot of key concepts.

If you play around with a model like this you see how important biology is. the risk that something that works in mice but fails in humans is the biggest reason drugs are so expensive to develop. Front loading this risk / lowering the cost to "derisk" this risk is one of the most important things to focus on

One other concept that's incredibly important but not discussed is "unmet need", i.e. How underserved are patients by standard of care. For a fatal rare disease, unmet need is high; for a disease with drugs that already work pretty well the unmet need is low. Unmet need + clinical benefit (how much does your drug make patients better) determines clinical value, which is roughly correlated with price you can charge. Price isn't directly determined by cost-benefit calculations in the US, but it's harder for payers to deny a drug if it would save lives, while payers can easily sideline for ex another slightly better yet more expensive insulin

Some people view the phenomenon of higher prices for higher benefit as exploiting sick patients; I don't think that's entirely fair although in cases like Martin shkrei it is. I've always thought of it as aligning drug makers incentives with the sickest patients -- you only have a viable product if you are providing immense clinical benefit to very sick patients. So r&d is very focused on diseases with severe unmet need. These days roughly half of drugs are developed for patients with severe rare disease or late stage cancer, as most other diseases aren't financially viable
Contrary to what others said, it will likely fall out of favor the way the floppy icon faded for "Save" functionality in GUIs. It's everywhere until one day you realize you can't find it in any of the apps you use every day.

And the person has, well, less money, and no legal team, and low/no power.

It looks horribly crafted to me. Look at the close-up of the finishing on the hands here: https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ibkZQA68NpX... . Look at the uneven thickness of the hour hand, the roughness of the finish around the screw, the uneven application of paint on the font. This is shoddy at best. A $50 automatic Seiko has more finesse than that. Don't even get me started on a completely generic fashion watch dial design and the scratch magnet bezel.
Liberal arts / liberal education is less about "creativity" and more about "getting people to be capable enough to understand the national legislature and have a non-garbage political opinion". The liberal arts in America were seen as a prerequisite of a democracy.

Not sure what you are talking about. 900 miles is ~1500km, 1500km at the speed of light in fiber (2/3 of SOL) takes 7,5 milliseconds, so 15ms roundtrip.

But I don't see why it's relevant. Forwarding in modern ISP routers is on the tens to hundreds of microseconds level, even if there are many hops it does not add up to that much. So what he has is likely not "switching delay", and even saying that 11ms is 100% switching delay when it's the same city (low amount of hops even if multiple ISP's are involved) is just ridiculous.

Ask HN: What does your ideal remote-team collaboration tool look like?
The more I work remotely, the more I find collaboration tools for remote teams lacking.

Slack has no memory. Confluence is only good for documentation. Google Docs idea of collaboration is spooky cursors hopping around.

What would your ideal tool for working in a remote team look like? What features would it have? Would it use a document metaphor, a chat metaphor, something else, or all of the above?
Looking at these numbers, I wonder whether the FDA process is a bit too conservative with respect to safety.

There were the articles yesterday about diabetics yesterday creating closed-loop feedback systems out of old insecure parts, because a FDA-certified alternative is decades out.

I've heard also of folks joining studies for newer-and-better IUDs that are approved by European regulators, but need to be re-certified for the US market.

Politics and lobbying are hard, but would some regulatory changes result in a 10x reduction in R&D costs?

Am I the only one who thinks this is bullshit? How is PATLive not also complicit in the crimes they're looking for "Will" to prosecute in?

I get so tired of these B2B service providers who get caught up doing borderline illegal shit and then just shrug their shoulders and say "not our responsibility." Everybody has these clauses doing the ass covering so they can sell services to anyone who knocks and they're never held responsible because of some bullshit contract.

WHY is that allowed? You're doing business with an individual/organization that is breaking the law, and you know it, or you would know it if you cared to look. That's gotta be at least worth a charge of negligence?

I'm just saying the "Will"s of the modern era would have a much harder time if the call centers, teleco providers, internet hosters, etc. were held responsible when they were found to be operating in cahoots with a scammer and I don't understand why they aren't.

Vet your fucking clients. And if you don't wanna do that, then shut your doors.
How have they got 2k boot drives for 100k data drives? Are these special motherboards with 50 (!) SATA connectors on them? Or is it many machines netbooting and share-mounting root from a handful of control nodes? I get that it's backup, so most of the data is at rest most of the time, but that still seems like a really high ratio of network ports to disk drives.

Either way, interesting that the boot drives are actual drives and not SD card pairs or something, like how vSANs are often set up.
You probably do!

Anonymity doesn't change the equation. No one on hackernews knows who I am but I still want the recognition of my peers (upvotes) which is why I'm posting here.

The fact that everyone ultimately wants peer-approval means we need to create participatory structures in which people are rewarded (with approval) for doing useful things. Stackoverflow is a perfect example of this. People gain karma by answering questions that other people ask.

"Everyone should have a blog" is the opposite of this. It's feel-good nonsense along the lines of "everyone has their own subjective truth and all truths are equal". If we tell everyone to publish it will become near-impossible to find voices worth hearing. It's like saying you should answer every question on stackoverflow whether or not you know the answer.
