Hi Asingh,

I've dropped you an email. We're based in Singapore, but we're happy to work together.

Btw, is HealthEnclave meant for wellness or do you plan to develop it along a more serious angle?

Ryan
What is Health Enclave? I can't figure it out when I look at the site.

Looks like a content farm?

AKA waterbears, moss piglets, or elephant worms.

Pretty cool wee beasties; lots of photos and videos just a google away.

My daughter likes looking at these as well, though we haven't ever looked at real ones -- that's a project worth trying!

Currently we're growing butterflies (got 5 little caterpillars delivered by post in a jar with food for them -- they wandered around and got fat in there, then made chrysalises which we transferred to a big mesh cage (where we now have 1 chrysalis left and 4 butterflies; we're feeding them mashed ripe banana and flowers with sugar water dripped on them).

One of the caterpillars left his head out of the chrysalis... and we were startled to notice that the old head was left behind when the butterfly hatched out. They basically liquify in there and grow entirely new bodies from a new set of stem cells.
It might be because the machine is old. Hopefully, it does have the option to generate a CSV/ XML file. From the description, it does seem to have some kind of computer connected to it and a printer.

Otherwise, you might have to parse the data from the serial port.
I don't see how ECDHE has any effect on the (in)security mentioned in the article. It clearly states that the RSA keys being only 1024 bits is the problem. How does using ECDHE-RSA change this?
VHDL generics and generate work nicely for 1d cases, but for 2d cases (systolic arrays), it's difficult to make the scripting really work without hard-coding a bunch of corner cases.

Another example is that defining barrel shifters is impossible to parameterize, because you need to hardcode the mux cases (see the Xilinx datasheet[1]). That's kind of insane, considering that bit-shifting is a very common and basic operation. This is particularly problematic if you're trying to describe something without having to resort to platform-specific instantiation blocks.

It's a little frustrating that VHDL doesn't have a higher-level standard instantiation library, because you're chained to a platform the moment you start doing anything other than basic flip-flops.

I don't think this makes squatting any easier than the existing tools to sell domains. I'm giving the creator the benefit of the doubt and assume they did this because, like me, they probably have tens of domains they don't plan on ever using.

Personally I rather like to read Slashdot as at least it has some uplifting comedy which is frowned upon here. HN is like reviewing a technical manual rather than something of interest.
"Gary Greenberg is a practicing psychotherapist"

What evidence does Gary Greenberg provide in his writings that would convince a skeptical onlooker that what he does for his patients is helpful?
Just to add to what you are saying, it isn't just docs wasting time with systems that don't play nicely. Radiology is a hotbed of IT chaos with dozens (zero exaggeration) of systems that just do not work properly. Cardiac CT reports, MRI Spectro, CT dose reports, RIS systems and the PACS (there are about 20 data points on this one alone) etc. Basically anything that has any post processing done is also displayed horribly by viewing systems. Comparing what I see when making reformatted images to what some poor doc gets when I send him the reformats is very depressing. We have a radiologist who codes - he is mostly mortal unfortunately and has a finite amount of time is his day. Despite this he has made some amazing improvements in crap radiology workflow practices.
From an academic point of view, you are correct but my point was from a commerce and public perspective.
Correction. You can have multiple kinds of LLC units or shares defined. But LLC flexibility can be an impediment, since new classes creation will involve sign off / agreements with existing unit holders, and restructuring the existing LLC membership structure.

It all boils down to, what are your likely financing structures, if any, and how likely will you later on need to become a C Corp. Be wary of subsequent entity conversion tax issues for owners and entities as well.

Here's a survey of only some of the issues: LLC, C corp. and S corp.

That's not something I would call "disruptive". That's an improvement over what currently exists, but it's trivial and doesn't disrupt anything in any way.

Motion seconded.

It sounds like you're seeing a lot of problems in healthcare. That's good you're noticing them. It sounds like you also want to solve some of them, mostly because you're fed up with them being problems. That's also good. The best kinds of solutions often come from scratching your own itch.

Another similar recommendation: get more specific about what you want to solve. "Disrupting healthcare" is a platitude anyone can agree with because the news runs a segment every day about inefficiency in the health system. If you see 10 problems, does 1 stand out way above the rest? Work on that problem.

Just building a quick & dirty solution and shopping it around like smalter suggests is the best thing you can do to prevent working on a problem you'll burn out of in 6 months. You'll very quickly realize whether you really want to do that thing or not.

One theoretic question : suppose that the nsa did manage to crack encryption using very advanced technology such as quantum computers. Would that seem outrageous as well ?

I don't think people would have reacted the same. On this subject i believe what piss people off is the mean rather than the result. Somehow people hoped for a smarter NSA, not for a meaner one.

But that's a bit naïve isn'it ? After all they're here to save lives in the end.

Take a look at a Hacker News comment

from a month or so ago with lots of links to full text articles about human behavior genetics from leading researchers on the subject. Genetics is a more complicated topic than most people suppose.
I would agree. However I think it is more important to impeach those in charge of the intelligence community first and then work up to the President.

I am not sure the President is in the loop here. As far as I can tell he gets most of his info in these areas from the same sources that we do.

Crazy Idea: A Remote for the Smartphone
The iterator pattern I have in https://github.com/ryszard/goskiplist uses an interface similar to

type Iterator interface {
// Next returns true if the iterator contains subsequent elements
// and advances its state to the next element if that is possible.
Next() (ok bool)
// Value returns the current value.
Value() interface{}
}

which you then use like this:

iter := s.Iterator()
for iter.Next() {
fmt.Printf("%s\n", iter.Value())
}

I think this is a pretty good pattern: it's concise, looks less ugly than the callback and closure based iterators, and it's not using anything heavyweight like channels, so there should be no significant performance degradation.

Out of curiosity, I added this pattern to OP's test code as StatefulIterator (https://github.com/ewencp/golang-iterators-benchmark/pull/1), in 2 versions: one in which the iterator is a struct, and one in which the iterator is an interface. The results look like this (the 4 last rows are my additions):

BenchmarkIntsCallbackIterator	500	3478962 ns/op
BenchmarkDataCallbackIterator	500	4437885 ns/op
BenchmarkIntsChannelIterator	10	186095017 ns/op
BenchmarkDataChannelIterator	10	188627451 ns/op
BenchmarkIntsBufferedChannelIterator	20	90941766 ns/op
BenchmarkDataBufferedChannelIterator	20	90175550 ns/op
BenchmarkIntsClosureIterator	500	5580257 ns/op
BenchmarkDataClosureIterator	500	6183472 ns/op
BenchmarkIntStatefulIterator	1000	2653265 ns/op
BenchmarkDataStatefulIterator	500	3582051 ns/op
BenchmarkIntStatefulIteratorInterface	200	7516778 ns/op
BenchmarkDataStatefulIteratorInterface 200	8250702 ns/op

ok	_/Users/ryszard/Projects/golang-iterators-benchmark	33.717s

As you can see, the struct version is the fastest of the lot: 2653265 ns for ints and 3582051 ns structs (versus the callback version with 3478962 ns and 4437885 ns, respectively). The interface version is slower, but still in the same ballpark as the callback and closure based ones, while being much more readable (but that's only my personal opinion). The not-so-stellar performance of interfaces is a bit disappointing, but that is a known issue.
The author is actually a little bit confused here.

Cache coherence means that CPU cores with separate caches, but accessing the same RAM have a coherent view. Usually implemented on hardware level with cache coherence protocolls (MESI etc).

What the author wanted to say: The goals was to hopefully avoid cache misses. With []int the values are sequential in memory, so the probability is high that the next value is already loaded into the cache. With []*struct there is a sequential array of pointers which have to be dereferenced. This dereference means random access to memory locations all over the RAM. Probably more cache misses.

The author is correct to measure this, because cache miss patterns are hard to predict and this optimization might not be worth it.

I don't get it.

Medium's policy is more or less to get a non exclusive license and copyright on your content, and they can transfer these to any entity they want.

Github's policy is to not interfer with property or copyright and allow anyone to view/copy/fork your content, which in itself shouldn't transfer any rights.

The two seem very different and Github is basicaly saying that you'll have to sort out the licensing and other legal issues by yourself. So you have to do the work (setting a license and ownership, eventualy copyright) but how is it scary ?
I think a lot of people like me buy domains planning to do something with them. Eventually we realize that time is limited, but we still hang onto the hope of eventually finding the time to do something with the domains.

I'm guessing they are overpriced because people don't actually want to sell their domains, but they would happily do so if someone was to offer a good chunk of cash for them.

That's my logic anyway. I never bought any domains with plans to sell them, but this site was so easy to use, I threw them up there and put big prices on them, just in case :-)

The same question could be asked of any psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist, regardless of their publication record. There are no objective, scientific, rigorous evaluation criteria anywhere in the field, which explain why the mental health field has the reputation it does.

No one asked it of Diederik Stapel, and, in spite of his enviable publication record and fame, he turned out the be a total fraud:

Link: http://news.sciencemag.org/people-events/2012/11/final-repor...

Quote: " In their exhaustive final report about the fraud affair that rocked social psychology last year, three investigative panels today collectively find fault with the field itself. They paint an image of a "sloppy" research culture in which some scientists don't understand the essentials of statistics, journal-selected article reviewers encourage researchers to leave unwelcome data out of their papers, and even the most prestigious journals print results that are obviously too good to be true."
There are already plenty of services for domain squatters out there.
A conspiracy theory is actually a hypothesis which has not been proven at the end of the day. To label any hypothesis as a conspiracy theory without proper investigation is bad science however ridiculous it sounds.

The problem is not that a hypothesis has been proven but the fact we've been trained to accept that labelling something as a conspiracy theory means that we don't need to test it again and that those who are involved are not credible.

That applies to a lot of things that we think are gospel. We've been fed 'facts' without proper evaluation for a long time.

Even the traditionally crazy things such as AIDS being engineered, holocaust denial and WTC being an inside job are fair cop for scientific investigation. I'll probably get downvoted for being rational on that one which will illustrate my point.

There are a lot of commenters here who automatically got on the kid's side as soon as they heard the buzzwords "anarchism" and "individualism". It's probable they didn't even read the article or the blog posts before reaching this decision.

All I'm saying as that we should be more careful when taking sides in any situation, and try to avoid being manipulated by words. Sure, I did post a personal opinion about this kid. You are entitled to hate it and post aggressive comments about it. But I think my post still added to the conversation. A few people voted on it so at least one or more people gave a shit.

35 Questions That Will Change Your Life
The NSA sets itself up as the Fourth branch of government but keeps it a secret even from the original three?
Similarly they dropped "How do or will you make money?", without replacing it with "How do you plan to you raise money?"

This is a bit naive. As someone who has worked a bit with non-profits, neglecting sales (and the whole "how do we get money in the door" part) of nonprofits is often what causes them to fail.

PG, assuming that you're as connected in the business world as I assume you are, I would recommend reaching out to John Wood, author of "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World" - http://www.leavingmicrosoftbook.com/ His book fundamentally changed my view on how successful nonprofits are built.

Welcome to the American empire.
Obama is not solely responsible for everything that goes on in the US government. The president's power is limited. However, since he is the figurehead of the state, it's only natural that citizens have the impression he is the mastermind behind every single negative action of the gubment.

I'm highly disappointed with Obama but he is hardly a psychopath. All those decisions you find repellent are the result of pressure from third parties or his own underlings. Impeaching Obama would be counter-productive. It would just create instability and would not solve the underlying problems that led him to make those decisions you hate.
I don't know... the code on the book is meant to be read and immediately tried. What's better than a PC / Laptop for that?

That, and the difficulty (for me, at least) to get a decent book filled with screenshots and examples in epub / mobi, is the main reason why a chose to not produce Kindle-ready formats.
Not like there isn't places to do this already, such as flippa.
Life is built to maximise survival, I suppose. Note that Life is not the World (I refer to the physical non-biological things as world). I would say, as far as science can probe, world isn't there to maximise anything.

Er, but the "stupidity" being hypothesized in this case is not John Gilmore's but rather the kernel maintainer he thinks was showing "malice."

There are tons of people out there, yes, even kernel maintainers, who are technically skilled and smart but for whatever reasons, prove to be bad at tasks like this and make bad decisions. It's usually not a conspiracy, and John Gilmore's vague handwaving isn't a very convincing demonstration that it was in this case either... :]

Launch. Get users. Get feedback. And listen to it.

Tell all your friends, family, neighbours, co-workers, etc. Use services like Betali.st, AngelList, Startupli.st, forums, Show HN, Reddit, StumbleUpon, pay for adverts if you have a budget for it, just get the word out there and try to get users coming to you and looking at the app.

The fact is you've done the easy bit. Building a product is easy. Marketing it is the hard part. Persuading people that it's worth using is difficult. The reason that you're considering investment or accelerators is because you're trying to delay having to do any selling. Investment capital is a shield against the reality of actually putting your work in front of people and having them say it's brilliant/meh/awful. If you have $thousands in the bank you don't have to suffer the pain of talking to people. The fact is though, you will have to do that at some point, so you might as well use all the free marketing channels you have access to right now.

As it is, it's unlikely any investor will put money in now. You clearly don't need money to build the app because you've done that. You don't need money to test the market because there are ways to do that for free. Any investor will talk to you, but they'll be looking for proof points along the lines of traction - conversion ratios, beta sign-ups, active users, and so on. They won't necessarily be looking for revenue (pre-revenue is better to invest in because the company has less value). If you can get to revenue before needing investment money you'll be in a much better position should you decide to go down that road.

Americans believe their country has been chosen by God: ordained by divine powers to be the leader of the world. So it's not surprising that they view the rights of foreigners with contempt or at the very least lack of interest.

"Un-american" supposedly means against freedom (and a range of other positive buzzwords) which is pretty hilarious given their behavior.

It's "escrow.com", not "escrow". They try to do a funky thing with their logo to separate the escrow part of it from .com, but they aren't brash enough to leave off the suffix. If they did, I don't think it would fly.

I searched for "escrow.com" reviews and found some negative ones. So there's one reason why someone might not use it.

Another reason would be that as a general escrow service they may not understand the domain escrow process as well as a company that only does DNS escrow.

most obvious practical problems:

- 3 8bit registers vs. ~8 32bit or ~20 64bit registers. (so you're essentially working on memory at all times, and have to emulate all "longer" commands, such as addition, to do 4-8 carries manually)

- 64k of memory (which includes the emulator), so you need to add some banking mechanism.

- no support for integer multiplication/division or even float/SIMD in your instruction set.

But you probably can provide a fast implementation of the decimal addition instruction :-)
Incredible. How is this the first time I'm reading about this topic!

This is a lot more concerning than the widely publicized reduction in shark numbers. Though that particular problem is easier to fix.

I wonder if more marine reserves would help resolve some of these problems, by allowing a place for natural ecosystem balance to be restored. Or if rising temperature and acidity is just to prevailing for that to be effective.
It will not be the first organ of the state to morph into "a state within the state" though it is surprising to see it happening in a liberal democracy.

Or perhaps we were encouraged to look away from the curtain all this time.
