There's new technology that automates this and the incident of rib-breakage is, as I understand, drastically minimized. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoPulse)

As an anecdote, my 70+ year old dentist (i.e. not the demographic with the strongest bones) had a heart attack (clinically dead). The responding EMTs used the AutoPulse, which saved his life. It pumped his heart for 10+ minutes while 1 EMT gave him air and the other drove to the hospital. No brain damage, no broken ribs.

Funny article from a fake tech news site. The Facebook page is here https://www.facebook.com/TechGarlic
In broad strokes states have essentially two functions - education and social services. Of course when you make substantive cuts that's where they're going. There's no "right" amount of social services - as a state you pay for what's reasonable at the time given budgetary constraints.

It's no coincidence the Economy in Texas has recovered while the economy in California hasn't. This is particularly galling given the number of tech companies in Northern California with highly compensated employees.

In any event, California didn't slip into a budgetary black hole by coincidence. State employees are grossly overcompensated, and much of that compensation takes the form of generous retirement benefits. The state will be raising taxes and using budgetary gimmicks for decades because the real problem is unfunded pension liabilities, not delivery of current services.

It's not about the label "inbox zero". In fact, I rarely have an empty inbox. Usually there's a handful of unread messages and maybe a couple that are read, but I haven't decided whether they need action.

What is important is limiting the distraction caused by new mail. If you're working through your todo items and new messages are getting added to the list, they'll distract you even if you don't read them. Of course, you probably will read them, which is even more of a distraction.

By keeping todo items on a separate list, you can keep your attention on your work, rather than on new messages. Then you process the inbox only when you choose to direct your attention to it.
Perhaps it is more "culture fitting".

The way we use the news has changed. Many years ago we would sit and read a newspaper. Nowadays its all about short headlines or very shocking bits (partially because of computer-based news consumption behavior and partially because of breadth of availability). Catering to the instant and very short nature of news consumption involves a greater indulgence in sensationalism. Google contributed to this insofar as it allowed us to select what sources and what articles to read based on the title or blurb.

I wonder, at a deeper level, if the political divide in the US is fueled by the "bubble" that google allows: many years ago, people read newspapers covering all points of view, but google news lets you select which sources you draw news from (allowing you to select only fox news and drudge report, for example)
True, but it does of course at least for some time work as marketing.
A detailed answer to the question "Who charges no fees? How do they survive?" may be found here:

http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/11-02-06.htm#n...

Note also the linked studies. Summary: the majority of OA journals don't charge fees.

"in practice [PLoS fee waivers are] rare": well, among the people I've spoken with, 100% who asked for a waiver got one. So at present it's apparently not difficult to get a waiver. And when you say "they'd have to change their policy" that simply does not follow. What is true is that they'd have to figure out some way of funding it. Eliminating fee waivers is just one approach. But there are many other ways it could be funded. What would matter in that instance is how committed the people running PLoS are to the waiver.
I'm not sure what this has to do with long vs short term rentals, other than that you don't trust the government to do anything. I also see absolutely no reason why supporting regulation of short term rentals somehow commits you to supporting a failed section 8 program, other than that the government is involved in both.

You left out option e) urge your representative in government to limit short term rentals, and once this laws are in place, bring a civil lawsuit or take some other legally coercive measure if your neighbor refuses to comply.

That said, I would prefer to see these laws kept as local as possible, and many communities will be perfectly happy to allow short term rentals, as it will provide them with a new way to profit from their property. I'd agree that if a local district decides to allow AirBnBs to proliferate, and you aren't happy, then you must move - preferably to a place that doesn't allow them. You will accept that restriction in exchange for the benefits you believe it brings you.

Keep in mind, there's a strong undercurrent of libertarianism that supports heavy decentralization rather than zero regulation across the board - you just have to promise not to try to impose your will on the next township over.

I wonder how much stress over money affects the health of patients. It's just the last thing you want to worry about when your body is failing.

I also think the system puts too much stress on relatives and the patient when it comes to choices and bureaucracy. Coming from Sweden, just having to choose between 7-8 different insurance plans is headache enough, but to have to choose your doctor, your hospital etc is just too much. I don't want to have to think about it. Americans seem to value choice and being able to shop around much more highly than I do. "Being a good consumer". I can intellectually understand why, but making choices all the time for everything is very taxing and energy consuming, and at some point I just want to be taken care of.

If you had been to Philly recently it would make total sense how much money is spent on police and prisons. They're doing yeoman's work making the city habitable again.

EDIT: No offense to Philly, but it's by a large margin the most dangerous city with more than 1 million people in the U.S. And that danger isn't as segregated as it is in say Chicago or New York, making policing harder.

Then the software side has fairly obvious goals.

Where do you (HN) guys draw the line between good app & bad app?

There seems to be a lot of "tin foil hat" responses here regarding permissions and personal information. I'm an Android developer with a top selling app that uses a TON of permissions (it features a bunch of system utility switches & stats).

There's nothing I see about OpenSignal being a malicious app, but a lot of responses seem to presume otherwise despite OpenSignal team members being present and responsive here.

What justifies the hard, negative position?

Which means we are going to destroy ourselves before admitting we don't need people without drive or motivation in creative pursuits working menial tasks.

I imagine when we get there, we are going to have an absurd concentration of wealth as the automated means of production are in the hands of very few ultra-wealthy, and everyone else is destitute because their factories and robots make everything for effectively free. That sounds like bloody revolution.

From the OP:
"It's unfortunate that these execs won't get prison time for this"

The flow went like this: I suggested that this was not illegal or immoral, so not deserving of prison time. You suggested that the OP meant that the laws are wrong. I said that they're not wrong, nor would any changes to them that incarcerated executives for anti-competitive practices likely ever be put into law. You suggested the DOJ disagreed with me, as do most people.

I don't think I'm being obtuse, but perhaps I just have a very different perspective on this.
LaTeX produces really beautiful results. The output is so authoritative that it can sometimes transcend the content: I once wrote a product development proposal early in my career. I did it in Word using the company standard document template, and it looked alright. It sat on various bosses desks for a week or so, then got NFA'ed. So I re-did it in LaTeX and submitted it again under a slightly different title. Result? Approved within a day. Something about seeing projected revenue figures in an 'academic' format gave enough weight to my utterly fabricated numbers to get the thing signed off. It's insta-cred, at least in a non-academic setting.

However, moving from Word to LaTeX is a bit like leaving one bad relationship for another. Word beats your documents up constantly: splitting paragraphs, applying random styles, auto-numbering lists like a toddler with a calculator, positioning figures anywhere but where you want them, and so on forever. Getting even slightly complex results out of it is a constant struggle. LaTeX doesn't do any of that: your document will be represented perfectly every time; every semantically significant structural element will just work as it should; and you never have to think about presentation at all. It's intoxicating, working with such an elegant tool. But fail to treat it right, get even one tiny backslash in the wrong place, and you get nothing useful, just a screenful of errors.

If this were a movie, LaTeX would be played by Penelope Cruz: she'd take eight hours to do her make up before a dinner date, bewitch all the other diners with her beauty, and then dump her drink on the hero and storm out of the restaurant when he accidentally makes eye contact with the waitress. Word would be Cathy Bates, beating the shit out of some poor writer with a hammer.

it was just before the eurosongfestival and the made a song wich was really similair to the song we would send to the songfestival. then they sent it to some newspapers. and if there wasn't a article about in their paper it was on their website. and they have even a hint because in the name of the mp3 stood rambam.
I agree, and it's not just end of life treatment. I often tell people, half joking but half serious, that I would rather die than go to the hospital.

Even the simplest visit is an excruciatingly long, bureaucratic, kafkaesque nightmare where your bank account is drained, and the patient has little if any input or control over how they're treated. Hospitals just suck.

I second SBM.
As I explained the "rent" is just a way of extracting money from the franchise. They are not necessarily charging the local market rate for commercial real estate (if it's a very busy McDonalds they can charge way more). They don't realistically sit down and consider maybe replacing the McDonalds with an American Apparel so they can charge more rent. So it's not the typical landlord<->renter relationship where the landlord considers getting new tenants and the renter considers moving to a new place.
I don't. Seriously. If I had to guess, I'd guess it was some new name for an old thing in whatever programming notation is hip with the kids now. Most things around here like this turn out to be new names for old things.
The OP posted on that thread, so he knew this was a repost. Interesting article, but i fear for HN if reposting an old and interesting link you remember becomes a way of getting easy karma.

Condoning coercion is not what a sociopath is, nor is it necessarily indicative of sociopathic behaviour, by any psychological standard.

Coercion is a pretty normal human activity, throughout history. You can't get rid of it (not even the utopian libertarian society would). The coerced usually don't like it, but that's to be expected.

Mainly the question is how a society limits the power to coerce. In this case, I'm not against Uncle Sam stepping in to prevent collusion. I just don't see it as immoral. A conflict of interest, yes. But I see this specific incident more about anti-solicitation, which is a legal and enforceable contract clause in much of the USA. In California, you have to try harder. Hardly sociopathic.
That only works so long as machines have sub human intelligence.

If you get comparable intelligence - well then you're fucked if you do and fucked if you don't.

The active police + prison budget seems to be about $850 million. That's about $570 per person to keep 1.5 million people safe in one of the poorest major cities in the country.

Seem like the real issue lies in the trend toward optimization in every part of the economy, from the small business owner to large corporations etc.

Case in point, I worked for a startup in 2008 that had a FT sysadmin and actual rack servers/real hardware etc. Same guys started a new company in 2012, minus a sysadmin and hardware. The ease/price of EC2 just makes too much sense. I saw that happening.

One has to be careful to watch the trends and not be on the wrong side of history (like a sysadmin who is not open to cloud and devops at this point). But how are most non-tech savvy employees going to keep up with the times? Most likely they will be outmoded and seen as expendable.

My question is how far will that go?
Apple Conference Call, Q1-2013
I'll say it again...the variance in iOS app design (I'd argue that GameCenter is even worse than Find my iPhone) is so wide that I wonder what the product design management structure is (or was, post-Forestall) at Apple. How could any senior manager look at the designs for iTunes, App Store, Messages, iPhoto, etc., and then at Game Center, Find my iPhone, and conclude all is well? There must have just been no single person in charge of overall UX, I guess?
