"Certain Soviet state enterprises were basically states within states. They controlled what amounted to an entire economic system, and could go on even without the larger economy." (explanation for slide 25)

No, they didn't! The planned economy of Soviet Union also planned an intentional dependency among enterprises over the most of the territory. After the collapse, especially after republics' separation, lots of mammoth industrial compounds got stranded, deprived of much of the previous supply and demand and just rooted or struggled for a while on state support bankrupting it in the end.

Another issue which HN commenters are aware of is the AMA's cartel monopoly on medical school seats to control the supply of doctors.
Still happens in FF 25 nightly as well.
The next phase, going from validated new procedure/approach to broader adoption, has its own ethical issues. During my medical training I scrubbed into three surgeries that should have been routine, but where an experienced surgeon decided to try a new approach that he had heard about. All three cases went wrong, and one was near-fatal. Fortunately, there were no long term consequences.

Learning new techniques in a field that requires hands on training with real patients who are entrusting their lives to the experience of the surgeon is a constant balancing act. It's the same with training new surgical residents -- which Atul Gawande also discusses in one of his earlier books, Complications.
All Asians look the same anyway.

Is US currency legal(not legal tender, but actually legal to use) all of the place's it's used?

Of course, US currency is used because it's more stable than the local currency (which bitcoin probably isn't) and it's physical, you can't block it by blocking network traffic.
The analogy between bridge building and software is very old and very wrong.

Software can indeed be designed like a bridge, proven and then built for one unchanging use case and set in stone. And unless you are writing for NASA, soon enough that code will be junked as an obsolete millstone because use cases change. No engineer could design a bridge that might have to be rebuilt into an aircraft runway, or a 20-floor apartment complex, at a whim.

> Pretty much every major conflict in the second half of the 20th century was instigated or at least participated in by the US (Korea, Vietnam, both Gulf wars, Afghanistan, numerous conflicts in South America and SE Asia where the US tried to topple local governments etc). ....

And pretty much every destructive building fire was instigated or at least participated in by the fire department, and every deadly epidemic was instigated or at least participated in by the medical community.

Comparatively speaking, the world has enjoyed almost-unprecedented peace and prosperity since 1945. It's all the more remarkable when you consider the destruction wrought by World War II, together with the relentless drive for conquest by the USSR and other communist states, notably North Korea and North Vietnam. The U.S.'s contributions of blood and treasure were a necessary component of that peace and prosperity; the era really should be called the Pax Americana.

Sure, we made some misjudgments along the way, some of them truly terrible. But Colin Powell, former U.S. secretary of state (and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), put it well [1]: "And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? ... No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead."

Presentation casting is also a potential game changer for Chromecast. I work in an academic environment and we are forever struggling with accommodating presentation interfaces - HDMI/DVI/VGA/Thuderbolt/etc ad nauseum.

The thought that a presenter could discover a Chromecast receiver and make a presentation directly to a connected projector via a Chrome browser tab could save us many kilo$ in hardware and support.

This might be even more powerful if the reciever can be implimented in software: https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast
Let's say there's only 11 people in the world.

The huge-ass 400 pound 6"5 bolybuilder of the 11, bans the use of bitcoins.

3 guys defiantly continue to trade in bitcoins.

The other 7 are not so sure -- they rather stay legal.

When the gorilla guy caughts wind of one the traders, he smashes their heads with a hammer and/or throws them in jail. This make 7 other guys even more reluctant, and even makes 1 of the remaining 2 traders to rethink his actions.

Makes sense? Substitute the gorilla guy with law enforcement.
That's an awful lot of ping pong balls.
1) Cool! That doesn't have any real bearing on Chromecast, though, and those devices don't have the extensibility that Chromecast does.

2) Anything that reduces the amount of hardware I interact with is a net positive, IMO. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "in Android". Netflix and Pandora are on the web and iOS devices, there is no shortage of ways to find their content. In my experience, browsing YouTube has been a giant PITA on every single device I've tried. I'd much rather browse videos on my computer and send ones I find to my TV as desired.

3) Tab mirroring is in beta, as Google has said, which is not the same as an app streaming directly from the web. (No middleman device required.) It's already pretty good, but does need improvement. In the meantime, Netflix - which has "native" support - is great, with none of those issues. The rest are simply good, and will become great once Google improves their mirroring feature.

4) That's a feature that 95% of users won't ever need. If the other dongles you mention do that, fantastic. I'll concede that Chromecast isn't doing that now, but I think we can agree it's definitely not a major selling point. (Not to mention, there's no reason someone couldn't write a Chromecast app to do something exactly like that. Just because it doesn't exist yet doesn't mean it can't or won't.)

I play my MKVs from a local Plex server to my Roku ($80). Chromecast ($35) will likely replace that soon, either via the Plex Web Client (which organizes all my media in a nice, friendly format, no ugly directory tree browsing required) or a "native" app. Plus, a remote control is extra hardware. I'm never more than 5 feet from my phone, and I regularly lose my TV remotes.

Those dongles you linked to seem to be running Google TV. Chromecast runs a stripped down version of Chrome OS. Two sides of the same coin, but Chromecast is far more integrated and extensible. Seems worthy of some praise to me.
Even if there are attacks everyday everywhere, I wonder how/if it can be linked with recent attacks of Apple, Ubuntu forums, and OVH networks.

There is more airports in US that have GPS only approaches than airports that have ILS approaches. For example: http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1308/05879R25.PDF

500 ft altitude with GPS only (without vertical guidance). LPV minimum is 300 ft.

Category III ILS minimum is 200 ft, Cat II -- 100 ft. But there are a lot of airports where ILS is not available.

"Calling it a 'tax' is indeed inaccurate and misleading. The purpose of the inquiry was to look at regional price discrimination against Australian consumers."

I think the name, in quotation marks, is spot on.

It's just like saying "the Apple tax", a substantial upmark in the final price of a product compared to similar ones, due to reasons that have nothing to to with taxes, but having basically the same effect.
>The only thing I can tell you is to go and get health insurance ASAP. Both for yourself and your dependents.

I am not too sure about that. I think medical insurance hasn't yet become all pervasive in India, and thankfully so.

Insurance companies are there to make profit, and so will tend to exploit fear to maximize their profits. Leading to inflated costs, as it has happened in US.

So I am against insurance in this form, unless it works like a non-profit cooperative. In fact Dr. Devi Shetty has also innovated here, with a scheme which costs as little as Re. 5 per month (1/60 USD per month) and provides heart coverage to rural Indians. It works as a cooperative scheme of course.

I am surprised, Insurance companies, even exist. As they should be the first thing to be replaced by Software (as in 'Software eating the world' by Marc Andressen)... It should happen, will just take some time, I guess.

So, I think, India can still save itself from corporate medical insurance. As seen in some countries like Canada, a fully public health care system, works as good, if not better.

On a personal note, after having, earlier, taken medical insurance for me and family by paying some 9000/- Rs per annum and getting a cover of 300000/- Rs. I decided this year to not renew it.

But of course, I won't dare to prescribe it generally, each person must take his own decision.

Hyperbolic nonsense? I suggest that you educate yourself on what is going on right now. There is no hyperbole, there is no pollution, there is only uneducated folks like yourself that don't seem to understand that things have broken down.

Obama signed off on the execution of known American citizens via drone attacks. These are American citizens that are protected by the US constitution against things like this. We're not talking about Pakistani citizens, or Afghanis. They were American citizens. Sure, they may have been terrorists, but they deserved a trial. Just like the Oklahoma Bomber, and the Unabomber. If you think it's okay for the US government to target its own citizens for drone execution without a trial, then we really don't have anything to discuss here.

http://rt.com/usa/us-government-drone-killing-660/

Kevin Mitnick was thrown into prison, and suffered years in solitary confinement because of lies told by the US government. The 8th amendment to the Constitution is supposed to protect American citizens from this, but because of lies and delusion, they subverted the Constitution because they "feared" that Mitnick would become a nuclear terrorist and destroy the US. By saying that the US needed to be protected from Mitnick because he could start a nuclear war with whistles in a phone, they essentially charged him with being a nuclear terrorist, before it became chic. Yes he committed crimes, but they were social engineering crimes and electronic hacking. Nowhere did he even have a hint of wanting to destroy the US, and yet somehow his charged were trumped up to nuclear terrorism. This was 1995. You don't think today he would be thrown in Guantanamo or some other military prison indefinitely at this point? I have NO confidence that the current US government would give him due process in this day and age.

If you missed this news article, 3 religious nuclear protesters broke into a poorly guarded nuclear facility and set up a protest. Over the course of a few months, their charged escalated from trespassing to charges of sabotage and "intending to injure, interfere with, or obstruct the national defense of the United States and willful damage of national security premises in violation of 18 US Code 2155, punishable with up to 20 years in prison."

https://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/05/15-7

They are now jailed because "the court ruled that both the sabotage and the damage to property convictions were defined by Congress as federal crimes of terrorism".

And, of course that poor kid who was thrown in jail for making a terrorist threat for uttering a stupid "joke" online about killing kids.

Now, explain to me again how what I'm saying about Guantanamo is "hyperbolic nonsense"? Do you really believe that in this environment we're living, that Mitnick wouldn't be charged with terrorism? More importantly, is this really the US that you want to live in?

>where are all the security guys at when this stuff is implemented?

It doesn't matter where they are, because where they're not is in management. During development, if attacks like this are even considered at all, its a very low probability incident, isolated to a very small number of targeted units and requires people doing things that can be dismissed by rhetorically asking "why would anyone ever do X?"

Computer security in general is abysmal. It's not for a lack of security guys trying. Good security costs time and money, but the return is practically invisible. The only reason the little bit we have exists at all is either that people have lost money, regulation, or an easy to spot practice has become trendy enough that people will chide others for not following them.
Even if you do go through the code and don't find any bugs/backdoors, doesn't mean there are none. Both encryption and secure communications are pretty hard to implement right.
ah no! plzzzzz hackers don't ddos github! this is just not fair

I hope all journalism majors are sitting up and reading this carefully. This is how you make a nice imaginative story out of a small interview. A good story/link bait needs something in desperate need ('lousy code'). Then it needs a hero ('gopher team'). Then it needs a title which will catch people's attention (people can't help reading about 'google'). Creative journalism at it's best.

In case it isn't clear, the only store here is that one guy wrote Google's download server in Go because it was not working well. That's it, that's the only story. Google doesn't send some task force or anything like that.

The effect happens in a real room with a strobe light going, but that's the same phenonemon - low persistence. It also happens in other virtual settings with lower contrast and brighter overall illumination (although it's less pronounced), so it's not just a matter of a dark environment and bright lines. It doesn't happen in the exact same virtual Tron-like room if persistence is set to full, and it's reduced at half persistence. So it does appear to be an artifact of low persistence.
