Preface: I absolutely love Revel, and I hope to put something built on it into production very soon.

That said, I'd be hesitant to bring up Revel's session as a positive. It shoves everything into a cookie instead of using the cookie token as a key to a serverside data store. Not only are you limited to 4k of session-local storage, but you're sending the entire payload across the wire for every single request. This is absolutely stupid and needs to change. I'm sure Rob is boxed in by limited time, and this is not intended for production use yet, but holy god, it's by far the worst thing about the framework.
Perhaps it's because I just woke up 20 minutes ago, but this makes zero sense to me. What am I missing?

Minimum wage where? Don't assume that minimum wage in San Jose has anything to do with a living wage in Bangladesh. That's the whole point of this labor arbitrage.
I remember hearing that the bird flu (during the original outbreak) was called H1N1 so I got curious to find out how many substrains have been identified thus far.

I was surprised to find that there are currently 35 strains of bird flu listed! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_influenza_virus#Contract...
Does a framework imply magic?
The bigger point you need to understand is that if minimum wage was enforced at MTurk, it would significantly raise the prices, and many requesters would simply stop using the service. This would result in less work for everyone.
Nicaragua's president says he's willing to give Snowden asylum
Yes and yes. That's why I often look not at reviews themselves, but about questions that asks about problems of the product. Reading the answers you can tell if a problem is real or not, removing the possibility of fame questions about non-existing problems, in case this strategy ever would become widely used.
How would you regulate it? The jobs aren't specified by the time it takes to do them, they're specified by the task that needs to be accomplished. This is unlike a typical minimum wage job, like in retail, where a cashier just needs to be present.
In this day and age, why don't most web frameworks consider security features to be a selling point? Revel, for example, doesn't mention it once on their front page, and only 5 results in their Google Group when searching for "security" [1].

Is it just the case that speed - both of development and request/response performance - sells, and security is considered a solved problem, or something that should be implemented at the project level rather than framework level?

Damn, so, can you get a genetic test done for this? I looked up ALDH2 genetic testing, doesn't seem like there's anything.
From the article:

> A survey of workers on Mechanical Turk done by Panos Ipeirotis, an Associate Professor at the Stern School of Business at NYU, found that the majority of American workers are young, have at least some college experience, and have household incomes between $25,000 and $60,000.

It sounds like the majority of workers are supplementing their incomes, not relying on it.
I would probably say that we can classify our personality as the difference in sets of what anyone with our ability and in the same situation would do, and what we do.

That being said, our ailments could probably be categorized by affecting all aspects of our life equally and in full measure of time (i.e something that doesn't fluctuate across the years is probably an untreated ailment).
Is this resurfacing because of the journalist "killed" in his Mercedes while investigating the government?
The point of all frameworks provide a set of idioms about how one should best solve a problem. It's not to make web apps possible, it's to establish an opinion about how webapps ought to be written in Go. Which is different than how one ought to do it in Java, and Scala, and Ruby.

It's nice to be able to leverage other people's opinions and established idioms without having to figure them out yourself.
I would like to add that I am really starting to enjoy my chromebook for development. I have found nitrous.io to be a really good tool for this. I hope that my free account stays free. Please use this like if you would like to try it out https://www.nitrous.io/join/ll8ET-M6wvU

Nevermind evil; malice is too ambitious of a goal! Incompetence is more likely to dominate.

A question that's 100x more important is would you manage to even finish the project? Big projects like that suffer notoriously from mismanagement that the chances of them succeeding could be as low as inversely proportional to their funding. A startup with 1/100th the funding has more chances of getting something useful working.

Vicarious with $15M funding for example has better odds at getting to the root of what you need to build a functional brain that doesn't involve such a supercomputer.

In the long run, acceptable adds will make advertising more "user friendly", while removing adds altogether makes them more aggressive and deceptive, because user does not expect for them to be shown. Control better than ban.
Did you even read the article?

> The rest make under $20 a week by working an hour or two per day. The most commonly cited reasons for using Mechanical Turk are to earn some extra spending money and productively use time that would otherwise be wasted watching television. One academic study that relied on Mechanical Turk workers filling out questionnaires noted that its American participants were “normally distributed in terms of socioeconomic status, with the average participant having completed some college and receiving a financial income between $37,500–49,999 per year.” This does not match up with the perception of exploited sweatshop labor - the poor who must accept low wages due to a lack of alternatives.

I guess it ought to be illegal for people to choose to make productive use of their time.

Next time, please read the article before parroting your ideological commitments.

As long as their ads are not so obnoxious that I want to block them, I am personally ok with this.

Adblock was created because advertisers got greedy and took it too far, not because advertising is bad.
The first-world people with access to world class health care that contracted it in urban environments were gay. Origins however, are a bit more murky.

Most of the worlds population don't have the financial resources or the proximity to say, the UCSF medical hospital, where such specialty physicians would be to study such a thing.

There's been quite a bit of discussion of how it got to Christopher Street in New York. My pet theory is that the international drug trade had quite a bit to do with it, but I'm just a computer programmer
You can use a compression level of 0. That is, pass through.
I knew I would find a statement like this in the security page: "So using modern language techniques programming in C++ is not more dangerous then programming in Java, Python or Ruby."

This is a belief that many C++ programmers have, and having spent much of my life in the past few years finding ways to break a C++-like memory model (Rust) I cannot emphasize enough how dangerously wrong it is. Safer than C, sure. As safe as a memory-safe language like Java, absolutely not.
Definitely true, but not really responsive to my point.
There are also some paranoid people who use encryption because secret services could be spying on them. We have no idea how aids causes hiv, cannot even predict weather for next week, but we are 110% sure some theories are right.

The source was Eugene McCarthy from macroevolution.net. I took the time to analyze, weigh, summarize, and find a place to publish it. Physorg took it at face value from me, and published it.
yeah id like some explanation as well
Wouldn't this be better described as Framework Efficiency? The framework operates at 96.5% efficiency, not with 96.5% overhead. At 96.5% efficiency, the overhead is 3.6%.
How would you tell the difference whether exercise reduced your anxiety, or the fact that you were exercising was a sign that your mental health was better? I definitely feel more like exercising when I'm not anxious or depressed. Almost nobody is going to bother with exercise if they feel hopeless.

Besides, anxiety is not like cancer, where the tumor is either there or not. There are probably biological inputs, but psychology is obviously important. If you can get someone to believe they are not anxious, then they're not anxious. So, arguably, a placebo effect is the only known cure.
Nice! This is a great way to look at all the options available.
The tendency to overlook concerns of security is not unique to web frameworks.

pyre assumes (and I agree with him) that the difficulty (D) of convincing someone to change the habit satisfies:

D(Omnivore => Vegan) > D(Omnivore => No red meat) + D(No red meat => Only fish) + D(Only fish => Vegetarian) + D(Vegetarian => Vegan)

Often intermediate steps are significantly easier to implement than just implementing the end result. It's the same reason for which people tend to break big scary tasks into sequence of many easier ones.

Would be great if you shared the tech stack with HN crowd.
Depends on whether you believe in Strong AI or Weak AI, whether a simulation is consciousness or merely behaves like consciousness.

And then, because you can't decide between those two philosophical frameworks, you quickly realize that you can't possibly prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a computer is or isn't conscious. If we can't prove that it isn't conscious, are we obligated to assume that it is?

I'm not entirely sure we are. It's like asking if we can't prove that there is no God, are we obligated - ethically - to behave as if there is one? Most agnostics and atheists would say absolutely not.

Not being able to prove the negation of a fact is not the same as proving a fact.
A significant amount of undefined (and unexpected) behavior in C++ is inherited from C, for compatibility. You'd sooner use C, and fall into undefined behavior quickly as well.

C++ is large and hard to master, but I don't think UB is the best reason to choose C over it.
I think it looks great. It would be nice to see a few pictures from the countries.
I would be careful using most cloud providers for storing PHI because most cloud providers will not sign a Business Associates Agreement (BAA). Keep in mind that the HHS has recently made a 'final ruling' that makes BAA contracts more stringent for companies that deal with health data as well so you may want to take a peek and ask a lawyer if you are worried.

As patrick notes most the Security Rule is mainly just a lot of documentation that has to be written. If you have even a little security background you probably have a good technical handle on it already (encrypted in transit, encrypted at rest, have good access controls, etc). Specifically it feels like a way for non technical people to track whether an organization is doing anything in regards to security. Keep in mind though since these policies and procedures are what you hand an HHS auditor when they come knocking you better have them in some fashion. Even a little documentation turns the conversation from "willfully neglected x,y, and z" into "You need to improve on x, y, and z". If you are interested in a fairly comprehensive checklist tool check out this little program from NIST http://scap.nist.gov/hipaa/

I am not a lawyer, not legal advice, etc etc

--------- Personal opinions and speculation

Keep in mind that in order to fall under HIPAA you have to use/store personally identifiable health information.

If you are looking for an easy way out of HIPAA you might want to look up 'de-identified health information'. Essentially what this means is that if you strip out all identifiable data from your records you no longer fall under HIPAA regulation, which may be useful if your company is doing statistical analysis of flu trends but probably less helpful if you need to be able to piece the data back together. I believe there are officially 18 or 19 pieces of information that make information personally identifiable.

As another note, once PHI is encrypted it is no longer considered PHI. It's my own opinion that you could probably leverage cloud services for a lot of operational work such as automated backup storage as long as you carefully encrypt everything before it hits any disk. Food for thought

It's not something to beat yourself up over, or to feel stuck because you can't do it. I think the benefit of exercise has more to do with a feeling of accomplishment than the exercise itself. I wish I had a surefire cure for anxiety, but I'm sure it's not exercise.
Source code is up on Github.
There was also an episode of Sherlock [1] which used a hack against a pacemaker to assassinate someone. It's an interesting theory, but the way this article reads, it's almost as if the medical equipment are incidentally harmed.

It reminds me somewhat of the Stuxnet virus, as it's a kind of hacking intended to cause physical harm. There's a term for it, but the term escapes me currently.

Not enough requests per seco... oh, different kind of framework. Sorry.
I agree, but a side effect of there being no mainstream ORMs is that the frameworks themselves don't have well-defined model layers. They're routing, filter, and template systems, and Golang's standard library does a pretty good job of that already.
Exactly! C++, well used, is largely a vertical language, not a low-level or high-level one. That's why it's easy to create a fairly big system entirely in C++. And having worked with such a system, I can say that it's quite comfortable, in some ways that most so-called "higher-level" languages don't offer. For example, your comment about refactoring is absolutely spot-on.

Most criticisms of C++ rely on outdated prejudices. Some people still think that modern C++ code is rife with pointers to void and reinterpret_casts.
It will be interesting to see how well vendors are at integrating security best-practices into their engineering. Medical devices have already started to popup on Shodan, such as baby heart rate monitors and glucose meters. And I wonder whether the FDA will offer guidance on proofing hardware that's already deployed. It's often not just a problem of protecting new medical devices as they're being developed, but how to protect old stuff that's now going to be exposed to the Internet/ network.
Which security features are you thinking of? The only unmitigated successes I can think of are pretty standard and hard to market --- default XSS string tainting/quoting and CSRF protection.
It could be a cultural thing also. I watched the movie in Africa as a kid. AIDS was everywhere, the reference in the movie immediately jumped at me.

Yes. However, I want to expressly avoid the word "efficiency" because it is our intent to eventually capture some metric(s) related to developer efficiency (e.g., lines of code and so on). I don't want the word efficiency to then be ambiguous, at least within our results site.

I struggled for a while with various alternatives, but ultimately went with "overhead" even though, as you point out, a higher number is better. I'm open to other suggestions, but for the time being, I'd like to avoid efficiency.

Edit: The trouble with inverting the metric ("lower is better") is that in some cases, a framework achieves superior performance than its underlying platform due to custom components or test implementation particulars. See for instance the multiple query test in which presently Revel exceeds Go (I know at least one Go SME is researching why this is).

Not exclusive because 8 other justices have equivalent authority on that ground.

No they don't. The Chief Justice has additional powers, such as assigning the task of writing the opinion and administering the Court system. His rule includes more than simply deciding cases.

By contrast the appointment authority is a lifetime, exclusive power that he does not have to justify to anybody.

Ben, this is simply not true. He holds those powers at the pleasure of Congress, in contrast to his powers as a Supreme Court justice.

"whether a simulation is consciousness or merely behaves like consciousness." Crucial point. Have you read Peter Watt's Blindsight? I can't recommend it enough. http://www.rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm (it's also available in a pay-money format)

There's also the whole idea of whether humans are consciousness or merely behave like consciousness. There's the idea that the sentient "you" is just a narrator for the decisions that your brain makes. This is one example of that: http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080411/full/news.2008.751.ht...

'There's also the whole idea of whether humans are consciousness or merely behave like consciousness.'

Well this would be the counterargument. We behave ethically towards humans. Yet we have no conclusive evidence that other human beings are conscious. So is that a good enough reason to treat conscious-behaving computers ethically?

Thanks for the links.

It drives me nuts that new frameworks announce that they've stuffed all your app's routing into one file like Rails does as if that's a feature. I'm not sure I've ever seen a large rails app where the routing doesn't become an absolute rats nest.
I guess that assumes your country doesn't develop rapidly and experience the accompanying inflation of the cost of living.

Yes, of course in the end everything runs on machine code. That does not imply though that it is reasonable to write your web applications in machine code or assembly or C or C++.

" That power is unaccountable; if anyone in the US Government decides that SCOTUS is abusing judicial review (and many people frequently do decide that, which is what they mean when they say the courts are "legislating from the bench"), there's nothing they can do except to ensure that the next judges appointed to the courts are more congenial to their views"

This is theoretically true, and in practice, completely false.

Congress can control the number of supreme court justices, and thus, it can add (and reduce, though this is more complicated, the easy case being when there is a vacant spot) justices. Because it controls confirmation (though not selection), it can in effect, also control who is there.
