Major Comments:
The author make a compelling case that a sizable number of Open Access publishers have potentially flawed review policies that allow substandard work to enter the literature. This is a promising first finding, however the authors then use this data to build a narrative of the nature of Open Access journals without having performed the corresponding experiment with an appropriate control arm.

Without a comparison to conventional publishing, these findings cannot be extended as far as the author does in the conclusions. Such an assertion, without support, is not justified or supported.

Recommendation:
Resubmit after Major Revision.
thanks for being pissed off enough to log in. we need more scientists, of all kinds. Lately I've been reflecting on the work of Dr. Carl Hart of Columbia University. He's a neuroscientist focused on the science of addiction, especially for crack and methamphetamine.

Guess what? He's African American.
Guess what? He has family members who are severely addicted.
Guess what? He has found that 80%+ of people who take meth or crack are NOT addicts, and that a strong incentive like $20 or good social structure can be just enough to overcome the desire to take drugs.

As far as I'm concerned, he's living proof of why we need diversity in science. Who better to study addiction than one who has seen it and lived it first hand?

I usually don't bother with beta OS's or GM seeds (unless they're in a VM!) on my "daily" machine, but I'm curious to know whether the GM seed can be updated to the release version/10.9.1 and onwards?

I'm not sure on Apple's history here re: OS X GM seeds.
It's interesting that most of the comments in response to this are about how great Greplin was. What was it about Greplin search that appealed to people so much? If it was so popular, why did the company pivot away from it? I have my own theories, but would be great to hear from folks directly.
If you look at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/downloads/

Azure supports (in varying degrees):

.NET, node.js, php, java, python, and ruby.

It also has CLI tools for linux and osx.

If you look into the Azure docs, you will see that many of the services have an XML definition that can certainly be implemented on differing platforms.

VS also appears to get some love including additional JS support, PVTS, etc.

For the past few OS beta to GM transitions I've been a part of (10.6, 10.7, 10.8), the GM is the same thing as the public release, so when 10.9.1 comes out, you'll upgrade just the same.
Because, if this article is correct[0], his refusal to obey a court order is the only reason the FBI made him hand over private keys.

The story is the FBI asked for Snowden's emails and correspondence. Lavabit said they would not hand over the information(but admitted they had the technical capability ... it was server side encryption after all). Only after that refusal did the FBI start taking more drastic action.

This is, if that story is true, about on par with a Bank complaining that the FBI ransacked the safe all their safety deposit boxes were stored in. Expect the bank neglects to mention that the only reason the FBI had to break open the safe and be put in the position of being able easily break open all the safety deposit boxes was because the Bank failed to to hand over one box when given a valid court order.

This is particularly problematic in Lavabit's case because a major cornerstone of the argument against the NSA's warrantless surveillance is that there are legal means to compel access to data when it is actually necessary and that those means make it totally illegal to do what the NSA was doing. This is really a hard point to argue when those means don't work because other's thumb their nose at the law as well.

This isn't that surprising. It's common knowledge in the academic community that:

* There are bogus open access journals which exist solely to make money from author fees.

* There are bogus conferences that follow a similar business strategy.

* There are lower-quality journals and conferences that do not attract many top-quality submissions, so tend to have a lower barrier for acceptance: you might get work that's rigorous and unexciting, work that's exciting but preliminary or rough around the edges, or work that's neither rigorous nor interesting.

* Peer reviews vary widely in quality, from being thorough
to overly critical and nit-picking to being cursory. This is extremely frustrating to many people, but is hardly an undiscussed issue. One particular problem is that more junior reviewers are often reluctant to criticize a paper unless they're very confident in their understanding, either due to it being slightly outside of their core expertise, or due to convoluted presentation: it's easier to assume it's correct than to go out on a limb criticizing something.

I would say that being published in a peer reviewed article is just the start of a gauntlet that any serious scientific claim has to run, regardless of the quality of peer review. Plenty of important work has started out as being extremely controversial: even once it got published people didn't necessarily think it was right. The consensus does continue to evolve.

I've never met a scientist who will believe something just because it's in a peer reviewed article.
A little addendum: brains are amazingly flimsy structures, not just due to the enzymes causing rapid decomposition, but because of their consistency which is equivalent to jello. This is why brains are generally denatured before dissections. Which is essentially what the heat did to those 4000 year old specimen.

Interesting quote from Ozzie:

> "The PC-centric/server-centric model has accreted simply immense complexity,"

This is presented as an insight. There is so little context given here, so maybe I'm just missing something, but it sounds much more like bullshit to me.

What exactly is less complex about "post-PC" or "post traditional server"? On the client, minding battery life and constantly dealing with connection loss is much more complex than an always-powered, always-connected PC. On the server front, managing VM instances is in many ways more complex than just running a single server, or a smaller set of them. People add these complexities because they give them something in return. But it is adding complexity, let us not deny it.

I never followed Ozzie too deeply, but this style of throwing around programmer jargon to make an all-around "nothing" point seems to be his style. I still remember hearing him say something along the lines of "RSS is the Unix pipe of the web". I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when I heard that, to stretch my mind somewhat to believe that is actually a thing... But let's face it, the analogy is nonsense.
The main possible problems are twofold:

1) EME as currently proposed is video only, but will the W3C try to do the same for images? For text? There are certainly constituencies who would live simple turnkey DRM for those on the web. And they don't do it in Flash _precisely_ because Flash websites are not a good idea.

2) If the above happens, there is no incentive for Netflix, say, to try come up with a setup that works with open-source browsers and still satisfies the rightsholders for the content they distribute. If people complain they'll just be told the spec says browsers need to implement DRM, and if that means no open-source browsers tough luck.

Sure. . . will send an email. But just a point of advice, even at $800 per month, that is quite an investment in faith when there are not any profiles of "lead geniuses." And as many folks who do sales, it generally takes a nuanced understanding of your industry to generate leads. Any lead that is easily attainable by any other competitor, is not too valuable.

It would be great to have real profiles of the teams/individuals who are the "lead geniuses." Or offer something like the first 10 leads are risk-free.
Please give some thought to whether you might be intolerant before blaming your reaction on others. The specific things that "turn your stomach" here are a) men enjoying the admiration of other men, b) some commenters saying (a) was beautifully written, and c) further discussion of sexuality in the HN comments. You can't articulate why those three things bother you, but I am going to guess it's because you're not comfortable with the homosexual themes in "this gay story."

I think his point is that sometimes "judge" is used to mean "evaluate with a negative outcome"; it's not judging in that sense until the evaluation comes out negative. It's hard to tell which sense is being used.

Don't worry, you can no longer span a single window across multiple monitors. The support fixes a lot of issues but introduces some new ones :/
To be fair, OS X always worked well with multiple displays (I would know), but it's their intentionally and needlessly crippled full screen mode that made the combination useless. And don't worry, they still haven't "solved" this completely.

That's entirely reasonable. Silo'd 'app stores' are where things like DRM belong, not the World Wide Web.

The PATCH verb seems underspecified and warty to
me. Why not instead accept, on a PUT request, a Range header [1] whose byte-range-spec defines the range to be replaced in the document? Along with an entity consisting
of the partial content to use in the replacement, this seems to provide everything the PATCH verb does, plus a
complete absence of the ambiguity involved in "[description of changes]".

> The story is the FBI asked for Snowden's emails and correspondence.

That's not the story that you linked.

From the article you linked: "The filings show that Lavabit was served on June 28 with a so-called “pen register” order requiring it to record, and provide the government with, the e-mail “from” and “to” lines on every e-mail, as well as the IP address used to access the mailbox. Because they provide only metadata, pen register orders can be obtained without “probable cause” that the target has committed a crime."
Your sentence is malformed. It should be "I'd enjoy clipping my toenails to paying any more attention to this movie."

Still, I'm not even sure if using the preposition "to" in that manner is proper english.
Multiway video chat removal in favour of more FaceTime seems like an interesting choice (well, not the consolidation on FaceTime), but it'd be nice to see Apple develop FaceTime along with iMessage to be better.

Google has done a really good job overall of doing useful things with making Hangouts one thing that is really useful (and to be honest I think if they want something to really drive adoption of Google as a social platform it'd be hammering that shit for other platforms so Hangouts is the default messaging platform no matter what device you're on).

If Google did what Apple has done with iMessage blending with standard SMS it'd be brilliant. Conversely it'd be nice to see Apple making FaceTime less like video chat with a face, and broadening it to be useful in more situations.

The way full screen worked was clearly intentional, not a bug, they obviously invested a lot of time into making this objectively less useful. Don't talk to me as if I'm an idiot simply because I won't speculate as to why they did this. I only know they did - and that's not some new thing I just made up, it's common knowledge. Don't be so hostile.
Of course one needs to think about the problem up front, especially in JavaScript. The problem with Java was that due to the fact that it's not dynamic, it was easy to get carried away creating abstract base classes and interfaces, or worse yet using generics to build up the foundation for what you actually wanted to do, before you wrote any code that was useful.

In JS, the focus for me is to get something that gets the job done in as simple way as possible, and then work to make it more generic.
Post Scarcity Economics
Actually, they are green-lighting EME, not DRM. EME can be used as part of a DRM system, but it has other possible uses. For instance, one could build a nice system around it to allow a group of friends or family to share private encrypted movies or images.

It's unfortunate that there are essentially two very interesting but almost contradictory elements to this story. One is the incredible charisma and persuasive abilities of this sociopath from the point of view of someone subjected to them. The other is the shift in perspective the writer experienced at the time of the incident, not knowing that the person was a serial killer. He realized that it is possible to have strong feelings for someone of the same sex, to enjoy being admired by them, etc., even while not being interested in a homosexual relationship. It was probably a positive influence on his life. While it makes for an extremely compelling story, it's almost a shame the two are combined, because the original experience and its effect on the writer was in a way completely independent from the fact that the guy turned out to be a killer.
