> I'd sense a massive lawsuit if scientists caught major wind of a guaranteed vaccine and sat on it for the sake of evidence for 5 years and let X-many people get HIV.

Considering that all prior HIV vaccine attempts failed completely, sitting on it till they know for sure is exactly what they should do.

And, BTW all those vaccines also came with press releases that touted how great it was, and how sure they were that this time they got it.

Based on past history I would give this vaccine less then 10% chance of actually working.

You seem to be focused on success, but realistically the vast majority of pharmaceutical trials fail.
If you look closely at the Blue Marble Image, you can actually see what
appear to be the sharp edges of a low-poly 3d-model. You'd think that
NASA would at least subdivide the faces a little more for the final
render. Or maybe they just got a little lazy with their polygon select
tool when they composited in the atmospheric glow. It's kind of
disappointing to know how artificial that photo actually is.

Ask HN: How can I find out what firms like ad.ly are charging?
I'm interested in launching a start-up that is involved in social media marketing which is a little similar to companies like ad.ly. My problem is I can't find out how much businesses in this industry charge for commission per campaign. I also don't know how they take their commission out.

For example, let's say a client used $20,000 worth of their services and their commission percentage is 10%. Would they add $2,000 to the $20,000 total making the final fee $22,000 or deduct their $2,000 fee from the original?

I know this isn't really Hacker related stuff, but I've been researching for days to find these answers and I've come up empty and HN is one of the smartest communities I'm apart of.

Recording of Mike Hadlow on Monads  E-VAN 29 March 2011
Android clearly has a fragmentation problem. Worse than that, is the dependency on device manufacturers to release updates to already released handsets, which I'm sure many see as a waste of resources since they've already sold the device and would rather put that into the next big thing.

Despite all the problems with the iOS ecosystem, Android has plenty of its own, albeit very different, problems. I'm honestly jealous of the easy updates to iOS that Apple releases. A unified OS that installs on all but the oldest handsets regardless of carrier or model.

For Android, on the other hand, manufacturers have made it pretty clear that what comes on the phone is most likely the version of the OS you'll ever see, unless you root your phone replace the stock OS with an open source version of Android.

I don't see that as an easy problem to solve due to the nature of the ecosystem compared to Apple's completely integrated vertical.

We've had cellphones in common use for, what? Two decades or so? Shouldn't we have seen some indication of widespread harm by now, or inexplicable increases in cancer rates and whatnot?

I'm not going to claim that it's impossible, just highly unlikely that this causes significant harm.
unless they go the Möbius route
Food for thought: it's pretty obvious today how Facebook got to being the #1 trafficked site in the world. And yet if you tried exactly what they did, you wouldn't be nearly as successful.

In summary, I think you might be asking the wrong question. Figure out what woks for you rather than trying to figure out what worked for someone else. Some call this iterating.
It's probably that it makes it slightly easier to see in an editor. But that still raises the question of why use white space instead of a comment to start?
Good to know, but why would they do this? Is it really worth hiding valuable error information from your users just to what, promote your search engine and have a somewhat more consistent UI?
Wow, crazy to see these pics. My dad worked at the SSC, managing the magnet manufacturing facility. I remember touring some of these buildings, and seeing some of the magnets. I still have a SSC mug at home. :)

In the end, I think it may just have been too much of an oxymoron to pair the words "Waxahachie, TX" and "world-class research facility", it's just not something most of America was ready to embrace.

It's too bad though, we really lost a great opportunity to build something great in the middle of Texas. It would have changed everything there, that's for sure.
'The cake is a lie' comes to mind...
Interesting. Maybe a small number of them managed to change with the times (my guess is they didn't call it "pivoting"), but I still can't seriously think that the NYT wants to be the equivalent of "Jedediah's Buggy Whips". Right now they're more like Ford (well maybe not that big, but they are at the very least national in their reach and relevance), and I don't think they'd like to take the step down in size and importance.
Awesome submission title. I sir concur.
Go ahead and start working on your idea. Recruit other students to help you. Put together prototype and a team. Try pitching investors. Try pitching potential customers. See what happens.

You will only get a conflict if working on your startup starts interfering with getting your degree. It doesn't appear that has happened yet.

Everybody has ideas. If you really want to start a company, start making it happen.
Agreed - this bit especially could use some work:

"Yes! Joulies are perfectly safe when used properly, and in fact make drinking coffee safer than usual by reducing the risk of burning your mouth." (Emphasis mine)

The whole "it's actually safer because burning your mouth is unsafe" isn't very comforting, and the "safe when used properly" clause makes me think "what happens if I dont' use it properly?" The fact that the inner material is proprietary and is somewhat of a mystery doesn't help either.

Still a very interesting idea, but I think the early-adopters and overall target market for theses things overlaps largely with more conscientiousness food shoppers who want to know exactly what's in the food and drink they buy.
My bet is on a larger screen: resolution is high enough to support larger screen and competition has nice large screens already.
Not newlines... View it in a real editor. :-)

This is to thwart stupid browsers that hide HTTP errors less than a certain number of bytes, which is incredibly annoying.
Getting a false positive result because you screwed your significance test because you decided to stop early? When you release it to the public, people think they're protected, so many more people than X die.

Maybe Red-Cross should have their donation page start from the bottom of the page and scroll upward? That would be a cool A/B test.
Perhaps, but the technology hasn't been a constant and I have no idea why Volkow's group is just seeing these effects now. If she's on the case, the science will be done right. Moreover, what's the epidemiological study to be done? Every segment of society is using cell phones and the technologies to detect brain cancers are that much more robust today.

It could be nothing. The phones could merely excite the brain regions with no long-term deleterious effects. But what's the harm if they're wrong? More people using wired headsets?

No. I'm saying that you put a hefty tax on the drug so that when the crackhead buys it most of the money paid for the drug goes toward:

1) Funding programs to educate people with factual information about the dangers of substance abuse to persuade as many people as possible that using drugs is probably not in their best interest and, in particular, to persuade some of the individuals who are most at risk of going down that path that maybe spending some time on the psychotherapist's couch dealing with the root causes of their problems would be a good idea

2) Funding programs for at risk people without health insurance to provide affordable access to mental health services so they can resolve their problems before they resort to the dysfunctional strategy of using mood-altering substances to cope

3) Funding treatment for the addicts who want to get off drugs to successfully do so

Right now, 0% of the money that an addict spends on purchasing drugs goes towards anything positive. 100% goes straight into the pockets of the drug cartels and their middlemen with no social benefit whatsoever. What I'm saying is that you could lower the price of the drug just enough to make the profit-to-risk ratio unattractive to the cartels (and reduce the likelihood that a crackhead is going to have to burglarize your house in order to fund his drug habit) and simultaneously bring in enough tax revenue to fund programs aimed both at reducing the demand for drugs and reducing the societal impact of the problem by improving public mental health and providing treatment for addicts.
That was South Africa (I'm here). That wasn't a study on circumcision, that was nothing more than a statistical correlation...

Look again. There have been multiple studies. The ones most often cited were in Uganda and Kenya, and they were real studies. (If only single-blind for obvious reasons.) See http://www.niaid.nih.gov/news/qa/pages/amc12_qa.aspx for more details.

Your criticism is accurate for the South African studies. But we have better data today.

This idea, while an awesome use of physics, has a problem -even in the cleanest of brewing processes, the brewed beverage continues to go through chemical changes as it sits. Preserving their idea of a "perfect" temperature in order to preserve the coffee longer is inherently flawed, as it will begin to taste bad after a certain point no matter what. All coffee is temporary; do yourself a favor and brew more. Top-notch shops aren't dumping their airpots after 45 minutes because the coffee has cooled down too much.

Perhaps they do use google, but I suspect the number of people who actually use google as opposed to the number of people who have a google account is quite the gap. This is mostly because you simply don't need a google account to actually use google, while with facebook lacking an account essentially makes the site pointless.
The only safety concern I'd have is dependent upon the toxicity of the thermodynamic material and the durability of the stainless steel encasement. If there are any concerns about ingestion of the material, they should do some testing to be sure. I used to run a test lab, and we'd cycle medical products through hundreds of autoclave cycles to test their durability to sterilization. Some sort of heat and moisture cycling would be a good idea.

You're getting a little personal with the recipe example, I am sure there are people out there who like to cook and have family members who like to cook the same things. Crazy I know.

I suppose you could have no shared interests and opinions with anyone you know. Then I am afraid social recommendation, whether it is verbal or as part of a Google search, isn't for you.

I shall say it again for you, there are many questions where there are no wrong answers for which adding a social context will be a benefit, especially if you are someone who is in contact with people who have opinions you care about.
I don't think it will happen that way
From personal experience with interviewing and screening ~100 candidates over the last two years, I can say that high-quality open source contributions are a big plus for an applicant. I can also say that we've never even considered rejecting someone due to a lack of contributions.

It's great that there are companies which look down on you not using your spare time to do extra programming -- you probably wouldn't want to work at places like that anyway.
Yes and no -- it's not absolutely necessary; I could've written it similarly without turning the callback-accepting functions into emitter-returning functions. It would have felt gross to do so, though. The downside I see with using straight callbacks that accept error and data arguments is that they conflate the logic of what that callback is actually attempting to do with the error-checking of the calling function. For example, my `baseDirOkay` method shouldn't care whether or not the calling `fs.stat` function succeeded or failed -- it should only care that the data it was passed is or isn't a directory. It shouldn't be called at all if the path was not valid. With an EventEmitter api, I can rely on the emitter itself to tell me whether or not to even call my `baseDirOkay` function, instead of having to conflate that logic with my method.

This seems like a tiny gain in readability, but it means that I don't have to make a decision between putting the error/success logic of `fs.readFile` in my method (where it does not go) and my calling function (where it probably does not go, and where it would incur unnecessary nesting -- and the finagling of the `this` variable that that incurs).

This may just be my taste -- but I find designing around (and reasoning about) EventEmitter-type API's much easier.
Or you use the web technologies for a "native" app and focus only on the browser for that platform. Then port to others as needed, rather than trying to support them "all" from day one on a web app.

Certainly a web app is usually still not as fast and responsive as a native app, but its getting much better.

People used to say the same thing about web mail services - that they were not nearly as 'nice' as a native mail app. Now go look at how many people use Gmail and dont bother with a native mail client on their PC anymore.

'I wrote some code, look at me'

Not that you're totally wrong, but a good open-source project also requires -- documentation, tests, community involvement, real users, gathering feedback from those users, collaboration.

Throwing code over the fence is not what open-source is about. I look at it as -- is this person capable of building a product for other people? Is he a team player?

That's not a skill that comes so easily and requires lots of experience or natural talent at other things than churning out code.
