That article is an absolute joke. Its underlying sources too. So incredibly lacking in evidence or data to support such a huge accusation.

> That is an especially pressing challenge in the development of new antibiotics, because a lack of economic incentives has caused pharmaceutical companies to pull back from the search for badly needed treatments. Each year in the U.S., drug-resistant bacteria and fungi cause more than 2.8 million infections and 35,000 deaths, with more than a third of fatalities attributable to C. diff, according to the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

How big does the market have to be to commercially viable for research and development? Nearly 3M potential patients at a couple hundred dollars per course is nearing a $1B/year.
I suppose so, yes, but it says "multiuser chat application". However, it also seems that you are correct about you would run your own and just use it by yourself; this is a bit confusing perhaps.

However, I looked again and it also mentions an archive, which can be useful (for public channels) even if you are not using the web interface to connect to IRC. The archives should probably be available (perhaps configurable, in case you are using it privately and do not want public archives) even to those not using the web client.

The documentation mentions invite links and new user registration, so it does seem like it can be used for multiple users. Still, some users will want to use IRC directly (or might want to use IRC for communication but use the archives). Therefore, please fix it so that the IRC server to use (the value of window.__convos.default_connection, as far as the JavaScript code is concerned) is visible regardless of JavaScript/CSS enabled/disabled.

For archiving, I recommend supporting the "esologs" raw format, which works as follows: Each line begins with < or > indicating the direction of the message (where < means server to client and > means client to server), followed by a space, UNIX timestamp, space, microseconds, space, and then the full contents of the IRC command, uninterpreted. File names are like "YYYY-MM-DD-raw.txt" where "YYYY-MM-DD" is replaced by the date. For logs of an entire month, the format is "YYYY-MM-raw.txt". Replace "-raw.txt" with ".html" for formatted logs. (The esoteric programming IRC uses this format.)

Why would SpaceX run it? I am talking about freenets, the communities run these by themselves. SpaceX sells a station and connectivity to the group as a whole, and I'm pretty sure 600 Mbps (which conpares to nearly a hundred people watching a fullhd video, btw) is more than enough for a town - my network is still just 300 Mbps.

1. Using the word “raise” when talking about financing via debt seems inappropriate and very start-upy. This is a low cost of capital line of credit, is it not (due to their infrastructure and broad customer base)?

It's interesting that debt finance has increasingly become a way mid-sized startups are funding expansion.

> (the vendor of the financial product) who just sold something that was effectively worth nothing

It's not necessarily worth nothing.

It has a very high chance of going to $0, but it could also have a very small chance of going to $1 million so that the other party in this trade is not necessarily raking in a lot of profit (or any) by making this trade many times over.

Decent policies that apply in all situations and are robust against being exploited by bad actors are very, very hard to come by sometimes.
Preemptive social distancing to slow the spread. This is done by educating the public about the probabilities involved thus increasing fear, increase social distancing and decreasing the r0, maybe even enough to avert the coming pandemic. The downside to this is a short term economic hit, the upside is using the “window of opportunity,” as the WHO calls this interim period, to avert or at least slow the spread. A number of helpful policies might come As the result of public demand for more potent measures. For instance greater travel restrictions like those being enacted in other countries. Also, we could actually test people like they are doing elsewhere. That would allow American patients to receive remdesivir. Right now we aren’t testing, so the first bunch of American cases won’t get proper treatment and some, I think many, will suffer worse outcomes and maybe even death because they won’t be identified at first because there’s “no evidence of spread yet” and regular Americans can’t be PUI yet. I get that it’s a medical ethics issue, but do people really get that? I don’t think they do.

Maybe I’m not their target customer, but I feel like meal prep services are the opposite of convenient.

1. Instead of prepping food, with Blue Apron, I now have to unwrap and prep food.
2. I now have to cook more often because of no more leftovers.
3. Instead of food waste I know have plastic and packaging waste. Food waste I could at least throw in city compost and not feel too bad about.

Has anyone observed that the problem of object classification is really just a component of the prediction problem? That the old lady doing donuts in the wheelchair is identifiable as such because her appearance changes in certain (predictable) ways from moment to moment? In other words prediction error minimisation is the basis of the classification, not something made possible by object classification.

With most setups nowadays (create-react-app/Webpack, Parcel, etc.) and "hot-module reloading" that's no longer really the case...

No, I've never had a problem with that, either with older or more recent ones.
I have some friends that are relatively high up the food chain in Israel (private industry, VC, tech). They laugh when Americans argue about Israeli influence in the US.

Conspiracy denotes that something is hidden whereas the relationship between the US and Israel is very much out in the open.

Americans tend to think of their "old world" ties as having a focus on England and Western Europe, because of history, ancestry and a majority Christian population.

But we are very much a Jewish state. Note: I'm not suggesting that Israel surreptitiously controls the US government -- again, that would suggest an effort to conceal cooperation or that the cooperation is one-sided.

I kind of get it when people knee jerk about conspiracy and anti-Semitism. The US is facing a lot of systemic problems and it's easy to look for a Bogeyman.

Take the obvious one:

America is in a forever war that's part foreign policy and part economic necessity. If you think that forever war is driven by Israeli imperialism (or even just the desire to stay alive) you're missing the larger, more important economic picture.

America is an arms dealer. War pumps a lot of money into the US at all levels. There's some greed in there of course, but also a whole lot of jobs, car payments, tuition, mortgages and the other prosaic things that keep the economy going.

I wish people would stop pretending that they're the first person to notice the US and Israel are allies. Or, on the other side, that talking about it should be verboten.

> Lincoln's election triggered secession by the south. Maybe the Southerner's had a better sense of Lincoln's abolitionist credentials than you?

Abolition was clearly in the Republican platform but he was chosen as a moderate candidate in the convention vs some more firebrand candidates, in the hope that he would forestall war. This is not controversial -- you can read accounts of the convention in old newspapers.

The famous quote from Lincoln shows where his priorities lay: "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that."

That sounds like a business opportunity for “certified mattress cleaners”....
I think yogthos (author of Web Development in Clojure (book) and Luminus (web framework) is in Toronto and leads a gang of clojurists.
I got your point and it sounds good, but let's take your example of the shipping addresses.
Let's say you want to develop a model that helps finding the best route for an ups driver. The real data may contain addresses all based in New York because your customers business is located there. The fake data contains addresses based all around New York.
I guess the model you train with the fake data won't be any helpful because instead the driver can do 5 locations in a hour, he has to drive 5 hours for the same amount.
Gretle needs to know the context of the data and the importance of relationship between the data rows. A pure anonymisation won't be enough.
I definitely would like the requirement to allow multiple keys to be a part of the standard. Allowing it at the key level seems dangerous to me, perhaps, in allowing an attacker to perhaps "clone" someone's key that hasn't setup a pair yet, though of course I'm sure there's mitigations for that if it was seriously proposed!

I have two Yubikeys, one in a safe and one on my person. It saved my butt when I lost access to the one on my person for a few days!

How cool would it be to hook your Xbox up to the wall. Or a TV receiver.
Scenes aren't just levels. Let's say you're making a bomb item for your game, in Godot you would probably make a bomb scene with a particle emitter and a model and a collider. You could then use the scene editor to configure these components instead of having then all in code. Tweaking certain parameters is much faster with the UI than using code and a debugger. Imagine trying to line up a sphere collider with a model using code and a debugger, vs just dragging the handles around.

The scene editor also works as an inspector, so you can fly around your scene and inspect properties and the scene graph while the game is running.
Skincare for men (https://www.mendskin.co). I commented in a similar thread 6 months or so ago, and it’s been solid. First started as D2C, but that proved to be a terrible decision. D2C is effectively dead. Now working with online retailers and my own online store. Wasn’t profitable last year, but so far this year looks good because of our partners.

One of our partners is selling our stuff for what seems to be 85% off... idk why, but if you wanna give our products a shot, check them out here (there’s no way I can personally offer a better deal lol): https://fashionsta.com/brands/men-d-skin-co.html

This was not about the paients per se, but about the caregivers.
I think question 1 should really be: should Google, Facebook, etc, be responsible for the user generated content that they algorithmically focus presentation on? It’s one thing to have, say, an early 2000’s forum where users search for and consume information. It’s another to ignore timelines and present content that will likely generate the most engagement. The latter to me is editorialization of the content.
Ah yeah, great idea. I heard the same about sheets. They get ones that last through many washes.

Look into hospice care where people actually go to die. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospice

That’s already about a minimum cost and minimum suffering exit. Many people’s choices are extreme pain or so drugged on opioids they effectively take an early exit either way. Adding a 3rd choice is really not about giving up hope, that’s long gone at that point.

It literally makes no difference to Kaiser, because they get the same amount of money either way, only thing that changes is how that cost is split between the plan beneficiary and the other taxpayers subsidizing him.
I’ll admit, I’m not that great. But throwing yourself into a project is the best way. Books and cookie cutter examples can only take you so far.

But also the mass over consumption of meat isn't very normal either, plenty of countries are vegetarian, take for example parts of India for generations; to me at least, the current practices in our modern meat factories kill my appetite. I do still consume some animal products but always try to get those from farmers, and for one it's noticeably tasting better.

I agree. I’d like to use DO but I’m full in on serverless and GCP keeps me on their platform with Cloud Functions and now Cloud Run.
I am.

I have decided years ago and I do not see this changing significantly that once my mortgage is paid down -- which is approximately in eight years -- I just want to die, I will be 53 by then. By then the so called "bucket list" will be empty. I am living alone and this I can't see changing any time soon. Do not think I am suicidal or depressed -- I have three international trips booked for this year already and so on. I am just utterly practical. Nothing frightens me more than living with a slowly fading mind in a much more rapidly failing body.

Canada where I live has allowed medical assistance in dying since 2016 doesn't allow for this. I do not expect to be terminally ill and so I can't just decide, not even if I make a declaration ten years beforehands, that I want to end it in dignity and without pain. You can't. You can extend it far beyond where life is enjoyable, it is indeed the default expectation to do so but ending it, that's not allowed.
Do you have some examples? So far, I'm seeing Snap, Cloudera, MongoDB, and SendGrid.

Snap-down,

Maybe the euthanasia is better left un-codified. It's not difficult to obtain the means for relatively comfortable suicide -- and people do it left and right, mostly for reasons of mental illness -- so it's not like people are being oppressed by not having such a "right".

So, if I get it right, from your comment:

1) You like EDN and would like it to become popular.

2) You would like Clojure to occupy a similar place RAD and 4th gen languages tried to occupy decades back. Not saying this in pejorative way, since I'm sure a big chunk of HN has come to appreciate VB a lot more now that is not such a big thing as it was in the past.

--

Regarding 1), I feel like it is a little bit hard that EDN will become popular, mostly since it goes so much hand in hand with Clojure and its APIs. Plus, in order to talk EDN to browsers, it makes sense to pack it in JSON and then use some clever encoding (like [transit] does). One of the tricky parts of using ClojureScript is understanding the handling of data coming from APIs.. I'm only now starting to get into this but I think is not trivial, and this is why projects like [cljs-bean] exist.

--

Regarding 2), I'm also not sure that the same target market that embraced visual basic and continue to use it will really ever be very happy with Clojure and its ecosystem, since there's not too much emphasis in making things plug and play, is more like a choose-your-own-adventure community :-). I guess it would require a very nice package to market it, the way rails did with ruby.

What kinds of systems is this used in? I'm assuming it's not for embedded systems at the microcontroller level?
One way this can be achieved is using specflow or cucumber and then make that drive selenium or puppeteer.

Probably a 10 minute job to set up some basic commands (like demoed here). Not saying you can replace this project in 10 minutes of course.

Advantage is you can use the same language as used here pretty much, but you can use some of gherkin's nice features like the tables for different test cases (or scraping cases!).

Kasaya would have the role in this case of defining the common language.
This is such a lame conspiracy theory that me and lawnchair_larry are on the same side of it.

I would actually argue that wikipedia, newspaper like the Times etc are acting as a press. Therefore covered by the amendment's specific mention thereof. Don't even need to invoke the freedom of speech of those who did the actual writing. You still could however[1].

The ISPs aren't acting as a press, unless they wish to assert that their primary objective is to publish IPs and other metadata. That is fine as well but they should then lose protection as a simple carrier of data. They would also incur liability of what is published. I'm fair sure they wouldn't want that. They would scream "we're not a press we're a carrier!" to escape that liability.

This is similar to the postal service asserting that they are a press and then selling delivery details or even opening your letters and sharing their content. So, what business are they in? Publisher or carrier? I think it matters.

[1] The weaker fallback of a corporation using its employee's freedom of speech asserts that those employees are fully protected from the corporation. I doubt that is ever true. So in a real way the employees don't have free rein over their opinions and speech. Restricted speakers. I'd therefore not be relying on that. I'd want wikipedia etc protected under freedom of press instead.
Again, you're nitpicking. Cars aren't the only form of transportation, and vehicles and loans aren't the only expenses involved. The author advocates looking at categories of expenses rather than single items because it misrepresents the increase in expenses Americans are experiencing.
We massively overestimate what a normal doctor knows.
No, prediction is not the basis of classification. You can build a classifier that looks at a single out of context frame and learns to label the objects in it. It won't be able to predict where those objects move in the next frame--it was never even trained using subsequent frames.
Its foolish to think any amount of alcohol is ok for you.
No, it's not FUD. It's called conversation. I was engaging the point made that "if you are just a burden to your family..."

There doesn't need to be legislation in the works somewhere on planet Earth for it to be a valid point to say "Yeah, that's a super bad reason to agree someone should die and here's why."

I stated up front I'm pro right to die. I have a Dread Disease myself. I'm abundantly familiar with the other side of the equation of "I want to check out now, thanks. I've had enough."

I did touch on that aspect in my comment. My Dread Disease is why I think I should have the right to decide "No, seriously, I've had enough. I want out and this is the only way out of this torturous prison called my defective body."
For 500-1000 pageviews per month (maybe even per day?) I think you could get away with the free tiers of (if static: github pages, netlify), or (if dockerable: Google cloud run), or (if postgres required heroku) or now.sh or lamba. vultr offers a $2.50 VPS.
My mother in law died at home (in the same room in which she had been born sixty years prior in the middle of WWII) and despite the twice-daily visits from the Diakonie nurse to change dressings and feed her (German home visit paid for from church tax) the burden of caring for her in her final months fell harshly on her two youngest daughters.

Compare that to my paternal grandmother who could see the writing on the wall and moved herself into care so her kids wouldn't have to deal with it. As her vision and hearing decayed, and then she started to lose her short term memory she told me she realized she was just hanging around to get a letter from the Queen which she decided was pointless so offed herself* before she became unable to do so. She told me that she couldn't have done that at home -- too hard on her (by then senior citizen) kids.

* (Unfortunately euthanasia was not legal in South Australia so she had to starve herself to death at 98).
