Obama Announces Plan to Mortgage the White House
Sorry -- I used your comment as a jumping-off point for this research rather than making my comment a complete reply to yours! I was more talking about the thread in general, where the point is made a few times. For instance, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5472735
Once again my apologies if I seemed to put any words in your mouth. I was looking for the right entrypoint to the thread and must not have selected the perfect one.
A point of contention was the triviality of the change and thus the logic of starting the clock on the original formulation.

“Successive Indian courts have ruled that Glivec, also known as imatinib, was ineligible for a patent because it was a so-called salt – a subtly modified version of a related compound that had been previously patented. Novartis has challenged the interpretation.

Mr Herrling – formerly Novartis’s head of research and development – said that the original form of the drug was too unstable and unsafe ever to be tested in humans, and it was the 'salt' version that was ultimately approved for human use worldwide" [1]

Note that Novartis threatened, yesterday, “to stop supplies of new medicines to India if the country’s top court refuses on Monday to grant a patent for Glivec, its cancer drug.”

First, there is only one "world's most profitable" Exxon Mobil. You can't buy 16 of them. Second, oil will run out

You missed his point: you can buy 16 Exxons or one Exxon, one Google, one MSFT, one GM, one GS....and so on. The idea was that stocks perform better given that companies are always earning money (at least many of them)
Two answers for your one question: no, it absolutely doesn't make sense to throw out the time and energy you have invested in PHP, but yes, it absolutely does make sense to start from scratch with one of the other two. Both in fact, and any others that you come across. The more the merrier! Programming languages don't take up mutually exclusive niches in your brain, they complement one another.

> The joke about the drill through the precisely correct location is likely a joke made by someone who knew what they were talking about. It was likely not meant to be taken literally, but sort of a tease without explanation. The floating point unit was in fact never removed with a laser, it was disabled by tying a "disable floating point" input pad to power or ground using a bond wire in the package. This joke was probably a reference to the fact that if you disconnected that bond wire, the default state of that input pad was to enable the FPU. So I think the idea behind the joke was that you could disconnect that bond wire by drilling through the bond wire and thereby disconnecting it. The practical way to do this would be to flip off the lid on the PGA package to expose the die and bond wires. People did have a steady enough hand to straighten bond wires on occasion when that were shorting to adjacent bond wires. With a knowledge of which bond wire it was, a person with a steady hand could probably remove that bond wire with a tweezer-like tool. This was possible on the early units in a PGA package.

While very impressive, I don't see how your post is applicable in this case. The OP at the very least implies that the transaction are done end to end and not batched. I find 6,000 distinct disk I/O operations per second, to append the log, very very high for a 7.2k disk.

The better product content you present the customer: bigger pictures, different product shots, video, reviews, comparisons, product alternatives, better copy, detailed descriptions, line-art with dimensions, etc., the better the conversion rate.

It's a big differentiator when the same (or equivalent) product is sold by multiple merchants. Customers in my experience are even willing to pay a premium to the merchant with the better content, presumably because they seem more legitimate and less-risky.

Is this really an "understood" truth? In our own study for our own site, we found nearly everyone scrolled the page all the time, and that seems the be the case with every colleague I've ever talked to as well. Who goes to a page and says, "fuck it, that scroll wheel is just way too damned difficult"?

The point about no UI isn't that you wont have a display, in fact you will have many many types of displays.

The point is that the actual interaction becomes invisible. I.e. not as much manual input but rather the input is based your everyday actions.

You take the train as you usually do. The system knows you normally get to work at 9 but it also know the train is delayed so you get a message that its delayed.

Thats the vision of the future, thats the seamless and non-obtrusive part.

Not that it wont be visually displayed.

The nest takes away much of the manual work you had to do (adjust based on when you are home etc) it doesn't remove the feedback mechanism.

This article was a response to the "Best UI no UI" debate that was sparked by one of Cooper's article I think [1]

Personally I think the "Best Interface = No Interface" mantra is too black and white and totally ignores all the shades of grey in between. If you come up with these principles, the language needs to be much clearer.

I think what people meant to say was "Sometimes the best UI is no GUI".

Best response so far is by Scott Berkun[2]

Your Startup’s Top 3 Priorities
Why you got rejected from your dream college.
There is the matter of work control--i.e., the company, by virtue of having each remote worker on the payroll, exercises an employer-employee relationship, as opposed to a client-consultant relationship. However, the company further benefits because the remote workers are/become experts in the software--they are going to know the code better than constantly bringing in contractors--and may see measurable quality improvements by having the same people working consistently on the codebase. I'd imagine companies also appreciate knowing they don't have to worry about conflicting schedules and the like, which can arise with frequency among people who are contracting full-time.

And, just maybe, the company actually values the remote workers enough that they want to make sure they keep them around with a good salary, generous time off, and an intrinsic work relationship that shows value to their workers' personal time and needs.

Real-Time Twitter analysis with PyCurl
This post explains how to use the twitter stream API with Python.
Another option is to fork Rails and use the patch files (included with the CVE) that target only the vulnerabilities addressed in the CVE.

The problem with upgrading to mitigate security issues is that the Rails team does not release security patches. They bump the minor-minor and do a release. That release almost always includes commits that are unrelated to the security issue. This is especially true when a lot of time passes between CVEs.

Maintaining your own branch really isn't that difficult, because you can simply merge in from upstream. In most cases, you're really only interested in patching from Rails team issued security fixes, so you won't have conflicts. If you do have conflicts, you can safely overwrite anything in your fork, because you're not developing Rails, you're simply maintaining tighter control over the release that you use.
To clarify, I wasn't replying to your statement on artificiality. I was replying to your statement that the target would have been set incorrectly in such a case. I didn't intend to comment on your statement of artificiality at all.

OP / developer here~ This is mostly an experiment from a weekend project that happened a while ago. I've since got a stable job and won't be moving any time soon, but enough friends and family have said "that's cool, but needs more people to use it" that I thought I'd finally make it public :-)
Unless these people have invested extra money they can afford to lose for the reasons to save them from inflation and confiscation. Then they still have enough cash to pay the bills, so why should they get back to fiat?

E.g. I myself and many of people I know are not going to sell a single Bitcoin unless any sort of personal or global disaster. And many of them are going to spend their BTC over time to avoid interaction with banking system as much as possible.
This actually makes a certain sense. Especially the whole "no need to use shift to type the single most common character in your code" thing.

No, that's not the issue here.

In India, the only patent you can get is the initial "composition of matter" patent. These patents are typically obtained very early in the R&D process (right after the drug is discovered).

For most drugs you can't just give the drug to a patient, it has to converted to a salt (this is why most drugs have "hydrochloride" or "sulfate" after their name). The right salt to use is usually determined a few years after the drug is discovered. The company typically gets a patent on this as well.

Since India doesn't recognize patents other than novel "composition of matter" patents, Bayer can't rely on their formulation patent to extend their market exclusivity. The patent in question is NOT a new formulation, it's the original formulation. The patent in question would only extend their market exclusivity for a few years.
This is a very well written synopsis and I am interested in reading the book when it comes out. Hopefully we can help him find a better title, though.

"Power and the Internet" is a much better title than "Power.com," IMO.
My 18 month old niece was the same with my brother's iPad, being able to navigate back to the home screen, find the YouTube app, go to history, watch something from the list, full screen, rewind and go back to the history once the video had finished. She has now picked up using Android on Samsung Note II pretty kid. Kids are just really intuitive and learn very quickly by watching at that age, I was truly amazed since my 60 year old parents on the other end of the spectrum have great difficulty understanding this tech.
This feels kinda like a pump and dump to me. I don't mind articles/projects/sites that make use of bitcoins. But the frequency of posts on how much each bitcoin is worth feels like pennystocks/etc on an investing forum. People trying to get more people to buy in. To drive it up. So they can get out while it's high.

I'm missing the point of these articles. Are we supposed to "celebrate" every single percentage increase in Windows 8 market share?

Great, now I can actually see that I spend WAY too much on games I never play. Thanks a bunch.
This is great! Thank you for the code review. One of the aspects of Google culture that I enjoyed the most were the asynchronous, detailed code reviews. Knowing that someone you look up to will pore over every line of code encourages you to get both the big picture and the details right. That happens with less regularity in open-source, although it’s been a pleasure working with brilliant people such as Jason Davies. So I appreciate this review greatly; it helps not just explain the code but encourages me to do better.

I'm a reservation holder for a 40kwh for about a couple months. I am pleased by this news obviously. I get the option to enable more range and the supercharger if I wanted. I didn't need either of these because I don't plan on taking long road trips with it (I have a 2nd vehicle for that). There might be some 60 owners upset by this but they knew what they were ordering and are getting it. Perhaps they wanted 60 speed but not range? People that ordered the 60,85 models are spending a lot of money and are likely Tesla enthusiasts. I don't think they are going to get angry over something that is beneficial to the company's bottom line. It's in every Tesla owners best interest for this company to be around for several years to come. I was predicting they would scrap the 40kwh battery and somehow not lose that low price point Tesla keeps advertsing. I based this on the fact they never shipped one, Europe doesn't even have that option for Model S orders and the Model X doesn't have a 40kwh option.
