Not a very strong argument. I assume you have never heard of allergies or personal incompatibiities with treatments? Because of that you should be glad there are usually different molecules aimed at the same target.

And the means of testing medicines have their costs pressured down as much as they can currently. But please do not forget that there is a heavy cost of doing medicine research because of regulatory requirements (which keep expand from one year to another. further increasing the costs of developing new drugs).

Having goverments provide money to drug companies removes the incentive to be the first one to launch a drug on the market and I would expect it to significantly slow down research. This would be going the wrong way, just like NASA which has been so very little innovative for dozens of years. Hardly a good example to follow.
They had to do more work, relatively speaking, to make that work well than it would've taken to do the same with a native app.

Sencha's little demonstration was the very definition of "bending over backwards".
I have a ASUS machine, I want to install Fedora from USB (but it does not work with UEFI)

Can you tell me how to disable it? I tried everything, and it did not worked...

Yes, the BIOS does have a option to disable secure boot there, but even using that option, secure boot still stays active and refuse to boot anything unsigned.
Jesus, if there's one movie that ought to be seen without commercial interruption, that's it. The whole thing is about condemning the commercial interruption of the biosphere. Koyaanisqatsi on Hulu a bit like seeing advertisements for bacon during "Babe".
Google "lucene query syntax"- it's pretty common. In fact, the only reason it seems they needed pyparsing (from the last article) instead of using Lucene syntax (which Elasticsearch supports) is to support more field operators like '>'.

EDIT: If you're a Python guy we've published a library to make generating such query strings easier - https://github.com/scholrly/lucene-querybuilder
Are you going to require blind people with prosthetic eyes to have LEDs in their eyes?

As Kurzweil would say first the tech will be made for people with disabilities. Then it will at some point be better than real eyes and some people will start getting them on purpose. Finally most of the rest will at least augment themselves. People thought cellphones were stupid on the 80s. They thought computers were stupid in the 60-70s or at least that no normal person would want one. Now most 1st world people have both in the their pocket. Glass is only the first step.
Memory-impaired users of EyeTap/Glass-like devices - using them as a memory-prosthetic (a not unreasonable use of this kind of technology to aid their day to day lives) - might find themselves subject to abuse from able-bodied (in the metal sense) non-users, mistaking the disabled for geeks.

Just a thinking-out-loud exercise. Move along.
The author writes: "If you can, watch in in HD. This one needs to be watched in HD."

There's a regional TV, furniture, and appliance store here in Madison that has an LG 84" 4K TV on display (resolution - 3840 X 2160P) and they're using this loop, along with some similar indoor shots of big shopping mall atriums and cities at night as their demo.

If you can view it on a 4K TV, that's the way to watch it, not just HD.

I asked the salesman what's driving the TV, because I didn't think BluRay had the bandwidth to do it. They said they were running the demo loop off a hard drive, and they didn't have any other content that specifically used the full 4K resolution. (He tried to sell me that the upconversion would make my existing 1080P devices look better.) Their price was $16,999 for the TV, and they told me they had actually sold one. Way beyond what I can afford, but I left wanting one.
It is my own MUD-specific implementation for cardinal directions. Next up is a gesture for up/down. :)
This is exactly why I stopped developing for native. If you want to fix a bug or tweak/add one little feature its a huge ordeal. Plus the 30% tax on non-recurring revenue. I'm glad he's doing mac apps. Less competition in the web space.
Human friendly and CLI - sounds little bit like a oxymoron.
They don't - they either go barefoot or they'll weave simple sandals out of jute (a very hardy grass). Note - India is mostly tropical, no need for boots (except near the Himalayas).
That's not true. Yes, it's worth considering outside of the JVM if being on the JVM means your application isn't interactive enough (startup speed doesn't matter for long running, fire & forget tasks).

At the same time, splitting your application into a client/server architecture is not a hack but an engineering decision. There are times when this decision is natural e.g. Music Player Daemon (MPD)[1]. For most CLI applications, there's no clear benefit (but the general approach has no clear downside either - the code overhead of this approach can be brought very low).

Certainly, in a production application you would want to secure the messaging channel (Nailgun doesn't).

Just for the record. I don't approve of generalising about religion and people like this and I don't agree with the points you're trying to make.

Thanks for that, I paraphrased your suggestion almost directly to the site. The change will be online soonish.
A basic minimum income might be better understood and accepted if thought of as a dividend payment on the publicly owned or taxed capital of society.

We need only look at the wealthy to see what life is like when you don't have to work for a living. The change need not be scary. When the threshold from scarcity to abundance is crossed by the automated AI economy it will be as if every human was suddenly independently wealthy.
With a mobile keyboard, it is simple to allow multiple, easily-switchable layouts. So, although QWERTY probably won't go away soon on account of familiarity this is no reason not to introduce an alternative.
"Although the state has only recently taken an official
role in the control of human reproduction, its current
policies stem from the age-old concept of the
individual's responsibility to the collective. It is this
emphasis on the collective good that has driven modern
eugenics discourse since the late nineteenth century,
when Chinese intellectuals the well-to-do gentry, and
government officials explored how to improve the Chinese
race after the arrival of the stronger Western
imperialist nations. Indeed, nationalism in its many
forms remains an important force in eugenics today.
Dikötter shows that it is the introduction of modern
science in China, particularly after World War I, that
opened the real possibility of implementing the eugenic
vision. It is in the republican era (1911-1948) that
elites called for increased intervention of medical
professionals and the state into the sexual lives of
citizens."

"Government policy on inferior births also increased in
severity from the 1950s on, culminating in the 1995
eugenics law, giving rise to many technical and ethical
problems. A eugenics policy assumes that all handicaps
are irreversible and that education would have no effect.
Furthermore, poor definitions of disorders, handicaps,
illnesses, and fitness as well as local control of
implementation not only erode individual rights but also
increase corruption and bureaucratic incompetence. This
book shows us the greater problem in post-Mao China-
eugenics has been legitimized by medical knowledge that
is ever-changing, not to mention packaged and
disseminated by those who have a vested interest in the
control of human reproduction."

"A national survey on ethical and genetic issues of 402
geneticists from 30 provinces and autonomous regions in
China showed that 90% called for ethical guidelines for
genetics practice and research; 89% supported current
Chinese laws on abortion for genetic abnormalities and
non-medical indications; more than half opposed sex
selection by any means; 55% thought that gene donors
should have a right to share in the profits from
commercial tests or treatments developed with the use of
their genes; and 50% thought that public education on
genetics should be the top priority in the Chinese
government health budget."

Thanks for the feedback, I'm adding a row with converted totals at the moment.

Some of the prices are blank because of the way different editions of the same book are available in different countries. Also, if that specific edition of the book was only available from third party sellers the price will not be shown.
I don't understand what you mean. America executes thousands of their "lower classes" each year as well as part of the criminal justice system. Doesn't mean that it is systemic "cleansing". You need to have better sources if you believe that is what China is doing.

And the reason the entire world dislikes Israel as a country (as of the latest world popularity ranking) is due to its one-sided, selfish foreign policy and this ridiculous "anti Israel = anti Jewish" position many Israelis take. When everyone is sick of it you shouldn't be surprised if many academics are too.

I have no evidence to back this up, but I suspect more and more developers are moving to Symfony2 due to the glacial pace of Yii development.

Yii v1.1 was released in January 2010. In the following 3.5 years, there have been many changes in the world of web development - namespacing and traits in PHP, AWS-style hosting going mainstream, JavaScript MVC frameworks - and Yii neither takes advantage of them, nor makes it easy for you to take advantage of them.

It's a shame, but unless they have some revolutionary idea, Yii is probably dead in the water.
I think the people here suggesting things like bittorent sync and owncliud missed the commenters request, i. e. a personal cloud that works with all these other services. Owncloud etc are just clunky implementations of drop box that offer less uptime and features. They don't offer slick, out of the box integration with other apps/services

It can be quite appetizing if you are able to purge a bit on dried whole spices, which I'll go a long way.
But I don't understand why you wouldn't consider the cost of gasoline when considering how much it costs to own and operate a gasoline-powered car.

It just doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

If your transportation budget includes $1200 a month for gasoline, then you could get another Tesla simply by giving $900/month to Tesla instead of the oil companies.

(All of this assumes that the cost of electricity is free, which is of course bogus.)
Yes. In Mountain View there is the Hacker Dojo, sort of a specialized variant. NextSpace has offices in San Jose and SF, and there are others... the generic term is "coworking" for anyone who wants to search their own neighborhood.

> As for distro users being restricted, read the referenced blog post, stuff like no non-fedora signed kernel modules, no custom kernels

That's just misinformed FUD. The shim bootloader allows user to enroll her own keys, which allows her to boot to whatever code she wants. So installing your custom kernel might require extra step or two, but it's certainly not being entirely restricted from users.

From my point of view the signing requirements are added in the spirit of "if we are going to support SB, lets at least do something useful with it", and not as you put it "to prevent windows from being "compromised"".

I don't have a favorite movie or a favorite book or favorite band. But I have a favorite time scaled video. It shows an owl. Make sure the quality is set to 1080p and you are in fullscreen mode, or you'll miss half the action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji_x8RU4zIo&NR=1

It's just an animal doing what it's doing, no post processing or dramatic cuts. Yet, watching all the details of what's happening in the short sequence amazes me every time I watch it. It's also the only thing I ever had on my screen that made my cat show a reaction (she treats it like a wall otherwise).

edit: Had conflated time lapse and slow motion. Fixed the text and will never come to Hackernews while having my mind filled with other work again. Ever.
$_ is very clearly and sharply defined. Only because you never took even a slightly look at the documentation does not mean you should just make up things. :)

> You know how that guy with the Bluetooth headset became Bluetooth Headset Guy, the most grating tech villain in existence today? It's because he never took his headset off.

There's a strange social phenomenon where some people feel obliged to not only pass judgment on the way other people enjoy their life (the same contingent of people who seem to dislike those family stickers on cars and people who take pictures of food), they must evangelize/enforce the style of life they're more comfortable with.

What's wrong with bluetooth guy (and his predecessor of 10 years before, cell-phone guy) using his technology? Deal with it like you deal with everything else: endure it, go somewhere else, or explain politely how their behavior is demonstrably harmful (not merely annoying, harmful).

> Be courteous and take the device off in locker rooms, public bathrooms, business meetings, movie theaters and anywhere else where wielding a camera would be improper or offensive.

Agreed. Those are legal issues and should absolutely be observed (the law, not the events).
Unless you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, it's almost offensive for you claim that things sound wrong if you lack the experience to back up your claims.

As a Dvorak (and primarily Mac) user, the switching back and forth on Windows is really annoying for me. I always assumed there must be some system setting that would allow you to switch it for everything.

However, this can be pretty easily mitigated by setting a shortcut to change the keyboard layout (usually CTRL+Space on Windows or CMD+Space on Mac). This way if someone uses my computer I quickly change my keyboard setting in less than a second. No inefficiencies.

In addition, I find myself frequently using a shortcut like this when I need to change back and forth between typing English and Chinese (Dvorak feels very naturally for typing with Hanyu Pinyin - a method of typing Chinese using the Roman Alphabet, so it's not just good for English sentences).

> I suppose if you were a full-time typist these inefficiencies would be made up for by the increased comfort of the bulk of your day.

Lastly, I can verify this on a personal level. I can type 80+ WPM on either QWERTY or DVORAK, but DVORAK is way more comfortable to type on. Would I recommend everyone switch? No. But, I find it to be worth it.

Good points. Not 100% sold on scaling being a problem. The master-apprentice relationship scales for a lot of industries and has for hundreds of years. Also, I didn’t get the perception from this article that they’re trying to replace university education altogether. This could be a great way to get into startups, advertising and some other industries universities haven’t managed to create coherent lines of study for. [My background: dropped out of university, worked for digital agencies, now at a startup creating a mobile game platform]

I can't help but shake my head in disagreement when I hear things like "we need a red LED or a shutter sound on this camera". It's not that I encourage people to be sneaky about spying with their pictures. It's that it will be inevitable.

As mentioned, any hacker could turn off whatever restriction you're going to put. Pretending that we're preventing something is stupid and wrong. It's a hypocrisy that is so typical it makes me angry.

To a large extent, secret photographing/recording is a technological revolution, and it will, predictably, meet some resistance. We can either:

* pretend to do something about it.

* help people resisting transition into it.

There are really no other options. Preventing it from happening is not an option. What would you do?

It's very similar to the whole "illegal downloading of music" business. Millions of dollars are spent, laws, national (global!) debates are held, all sorts of technological hurdles are put into play, and ... nothing prevents any kid from downloading whatever they want from the Internet.

All this "pretending to do something about it" has a cost. Some scapegoats are going to suffer greatly along the way. Aaron Schwartz's example is famous around here, but it's absolutely not the only one. Do we need more innocent victims?
