Technologically this is straightforward: it uses a proxy server that sits in between you and your actual mailserver.

I think the privacy concerns of having your mail (potentially) available over yet another server in exchange for modest convenience makes it unlikely that I would use this, but I'm sure many will find the trade-off acceptable and desirable.
Unfortunate the only nation who has the power to convince others joining this ban, is one of the worst abusers of antibiotics.

I'm curious as to just exactly how you think the US is going to convince China, Russia, India, etc to ban antibiotics? The US could obviously afford to do so, as the incremental cost in the price of animal protein (due to smaller yields) could be absorbed by modifications to eating habits or redistribution models (i.e. food stamps).

I'm not sure the same could be said in some of the countries that are much larger and have huge difficulties with food production/distribution already.
I recently stumbled on Chasys Draw Artist. It's pretty amazing coming from one person. Many more features over Paint.net, yet startup time is about the same as compared to Gimp.

Proxy to return a header in your email. CSS to render the content upon click. IFrame to update content so it doesn't get cached.

Cute web hacks. I don't understand the problem with simply using their mobile app if you were really looking for work.

It sounds like an unnecessary feature for people who are looking and an annoyance to people who are not. That seems to be the problem of Linked In. They harass those who are working with vague and misplaced job requests in an attempt to expand their reach.

I also hate iFrames. Cool trick though.
We use Sketch + iDraw. Both are not Illustrator, but they deal well with the vector stuff we need. (I'm a dev, not designer, so don't really know exactly what's going on, but we migrated from PS + FW to these tools over a couple of years).
I would like to hear more about the security around this. Given LinkedIn's reputation, this is a bit scary.
I thought it only broke for fullscreened applications?

I never had any issues with regular multi-monitor setups with any of the recent os upgrades as far as non fullscreen use goes. What was broke there?
I agree with you that these three items could be dealbreakers for the high caliber startups, but aren't they mandated by the JOBS Act itself? (At least the first two, I'm not sure about the third.) I'm not sure the SEC can override congress' say on those matters.
Your client gets their money frozen. They've been paying you regularly so you get your money frozen. You spend 5 years in court maybe getting some money back.
C++ compiles into a fast and optimized native code while C# compiles into byte-code then being interpreted - so the programs can't be as fast as the native programs. And the GC (Garbage Collection) also slows the things down.

> Cannabis isn't illegal everywhere.

In the US it is, outside of the US, it may not be.

> Washington and Colorado legalized it recently, and other states will likely follow in the future.

A number of other states already have legalized it for certain uses, but no state level action will change that it is illegal under federal law, and the feds have, including under the current administration, carried out enforcement actions against operations that were legal under state laws. There've been a few statements to the effect that this is not a priority, but its still part of the legal landscape.

National legalization, even if for medical purposes only, would open up a clear space for startups, but short of that any startup is creating a massive paper trail of evidence for conspiracy to violate federal narcotics laws (which are expressly included within the scope of the RICO statute as predicate offenses), and both the companies and individuals involved are risking criminal and civil prosecution under both narcotics and RICO laws as well as potential civil forfeiture actions against the assets that are instrumentalities of the legal violations.

All that on top of the usual business risks that come with operating a startup.

we eliminated smallpox which was one of the most devastating diseases in history so this fatalism is basically disproved

Smallpox was not eliminated with antibiotics, and nor was polio. Both are viruses, and both were eliminated with vaccines.
SVG integration with JS and the DOM has been elusive and underdeveloped in the past. Between this and d3, there's finally a lot happening in this space. These are very slick libs, they are thorough and comprehensive with very sophisticated authors.

I have capable and deep server-side SVG generation libraries I've written for CAD/CAM applications. I've always wanted to use them for generating all-or-mostly SVG web UIs. I can generate an SVG view straight from a model, and it's not an HTML+CSS cludge. The SVG's relationship with the data object is much more clear. With better JS manipulation support from libraries like this, the possibility of a rich and full-featured implementation is closer.

Not to mention that the browser vendors are FINALLY putting effort into truly supporting SVG, after 10+ years. It's good to prod them in this direction by demoing. Maybe we can help encourage an SVG-support vendor battle like what's going on for JS engines.

Time for me to get started on open sourcing my libs. They need to be completely broken out and made more general but I think it's time to join in and support these excellent efforts.
He should just change the headline since it doesn't really look like a Sublime Text clone anyhow.

If you'd like to work on a great new text editor, please join me."

Why would helping marijuana dispensaries follow state regulations be in the interest of the federal government? They want those dispensaries shut down, and if the state government shuts them down all the better.
RxPlay: Diving into iteratees and observables and making them place nice
Being somewhat pessimistic here. As someone who actively hacks DNA, I believe that we can address this problem responsibly with the development of new and novel antibiotics for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. There are significant challenges in the biology but there is technology being developed that will significantly reduce the cost and time needed to develop new antibodies.

For example, my company TeselaGen (http://teselagen.com) has developed a cloud based platform for biologists to design, build, and test a large combinatorial set of DNA constructs. Some of our customers use our software today to easily and effectively test an incredible number of DNA devices for identifying and developing useful antibodies.If you have an understanding of genetics and cloning you can try out the software yourself.

> If you cut back on keeping them healthy, you're cutting the amount of food available for human consumption.

You are cutting the amount of meat and dairy available for human consumption, not food. Eating animal products is not a terribly efficient way of getting nutrients.

No. In the big picture you're barely leaving the surface. 30km off a spheroid of radius ~6000km means gravity is essentially what it is at the surface.

Given the pernicious and undemocratic over-representation of rural interests embodied in the structure of the Senate, I don't expect them to go anywhere.

I'm sure the rural interests have the same thing to say about urban interests & the House. Which, really, means things are working as intended.
> Is WebP really "worse" than JPEG, or just about the same, or not a substantial improvement?

I don't know. Those are subjective terms. You can draw your own conclusions from the study…

> The real question is, what if you don't compare WebP to JPEG, but instead, compare it to APNG, then how does the calculus come out?

I don't know off the top of my head. I agree that this should be studied.

What I'm quibbling with is the notion that we should just rush to adopt large proposals like WebP if they're a marginal improvement in any area. Like I said, on the Web we are stuck with mistakes forever if they gain traction. Maybe the story would have been different if WebP had been just the WebP-lossless-animated portion. (I don't call the shots, except in Servo, but I would personally have no issues with adopting WebP-lossless-animated.) But WebP is tied together with the lossy compression that seems to have issues relative to JPEG. "Two steps forward, one step back" is less attractive than "two steps forward".

Google says WebP versus PNG is 28%, so I would expect the results for WebP-animated versus APNG to be similar. IMHO, a 28% improvement is not at the level of "so good we must rush to standardize this now, warts and all".
Regulatory gray areas are risky, but can sometimes be great opportunities. Uber and Airbnb are two well known examples of companies that got huge by doing something that may not have been legal everywhere.

Related examples include drones[1], bitcoin, crowdfunding investment[2], self-driving cars[3] and 3D printing[4].

Both Airbnb and Uber have become so big that they can try to work the system and change the regulations in their favor, but smaller companies might have to be more wily. For example, commercial drone activity is basically illegal in the U.S., but I know of one startup that currently develops and flies their technology on manned aircraft with the idea of putting it on drones when they can, and another that resides in the U.S. but is currently focused on customers outside the U.S.

C# compiles into byte-code then being interpreted - so the programs can't be as fast as a native programs.

None of this is really true, but it is true that you can often have strict FPS requirements when making a game and dealing with GC pauses can be very difficult.

Overall, I would not recommend that a novice attempt to make a game with very strict real time dependencies in C#. If you understand C# and CLR interactions well you can do it, but the coding style and optimization techniques are not for the uninitiated.

C++ really is your best bet for something with these types of requirements.
I've wondered about that. But the antibiotics we use medically are only a small fraction of the antibiotics in nature, because the others are toxic or otherwise unsuitable to use as drugs. So the fungi probably have backups.

It might make sense to speak of an antibiotic peak, like we speak of peak oil. I wonder if you could draw the same kind of curve.

Antibiotics in animal farms should be banned world wide.

Why? The problem isn't giving antibiotics to animals. Antibiotics are useful for animals the same way they are useful for controlling disease in humans. The problem is abuse of antibiotics.
I wouldn't think so. The Gmail iPhone app isn't an IMAP email client, it is a proprietary email implementation.
I don't think there's a good answer to this right now.[1]

Many games have fairly strict FPS/real time requirements, so any type of GC can get in the way more than it can help.

Once you restrict yourself to non-GC languages, your options are pretty limited. I would choose C++ for the library and platform support, personally.

[1] I'm assuming you want a mainstream language, not some experimental typed language with region memory inference or similar esoteric solutions.
Love it - great work.
it will probably "work" as they are abusing the network (it will probably screw up VPN configs) to hijack all imap calls. unless the gmail app uses regular http endpoints... which it probably does.
A lot of here didn't really understand what i said, but that's kinda my fault.

All the responses seem to "consume" things, even though it could be articles, photos, news...

Perhaps my 2 last sentences where to much. But there is a difference between consuming and producing.

A tablet is for consuming, if you are enriching your life through consuming things (skype, facebook, articles, news, ...), then yeah. A tablet would be easier to do this.

But it's not for production and all of the examples you showed me are not for producing anything. It's merely for consuming things and i don't think creating a photo with some filters on it in 5 seconds is producing anything.

All the ones who are producing things (apps, books, ...), did a tablet really let you throw away your laptop or pc? (in my experience, it hasn't).

There is actually a "debate" going on because of this and i only showed my personal opinion. I even think that it started with this blogpost: http://impossiblehq.com/an-unexpected-ass-kicking . Read it, he sure as hell explained it better then me.

If i look at my mom, who hasn't been a pc fan ever.. She is an avid user of the tablet, but i don't see her producing anything. But yeah, she sure does consume a lot and it has helped her join the digital world..

If i would have known some people referenced their dads who haven't ever produced on a pc, i would have explained it differently... But hell, you can't say anything in a quick post, i presume.

Didn't mean to offend anyone. But i'll explain myself better in the future :)
Unless LinkedIn open sources it and I host my own copy, there is no way for me to hand all my emails to LinkedIn.
I am thinking the term "quackery" is for example probably a bit too broad.
Bacteriophages are very much the answer to the titular problem. Instead of finding tiny little lethal molecules, we will likely end up actually designing machine-like phages to kill the causes of our illnesses. They're easy to select for, quite good at what they do, and are some of the most approachable objects in synthetic biology, currently. And they are much more amenable to continued use than the 3 or 4 scaffoldings of antibiotics (small molecules) that we know of today.

That's a fair point. I went through the tutorial and totally overlooked the rest of the docs (with the exception of the ones that I needed). Even still, I think Two Scoops could be a lot more concise and spend less time focusing on why and more time focusing on how. Best practices are means to an end; if someone's reading a book about them, chances are that they're aware of the benefits of following best practices anyway and don't need the constant reminder of why portable, readable code is important.
This issue reflects the challenge of trying to sell music to people who can pirate the stuff. When the alternative to your product is free and close enough to substitute, the paid product needs to provide enough value to convince the market that it is worthwhile. Here you have a text editor that its audience feels has been abandoned, so it is not providing as much value as an open source alternative.
I share your distaste of when evolution is personified or otherwise represented to be anything other than a powerful but passive process.

That being said, I have no problem with the statement that bacteria want to survive. They most certainly have mechanisms that are engaged actively in order to increase chances of survival. Horizontal gene transfer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer) allows bacteria to evolve in means other than traditional reproduction.

To add to my pedantic argument, it's not a conscious desire of theirs, but I'd argue that the basic things that humans do to survive (eat, drink, sleep, and have sex) are not conscious desires either. I'd argue that sexual reproduction is a mechanism that directly represents the biological success of greater genetic diversity and sharing of genes between organisms. We desire sex, and we desire sex with the best genetic candidates, and it's all a biological process encoded into our DNA that represents our desire for survival, so in that sense, bacteria desire survival as well.

And what does desire even mean? Does desire require consciousness and the ability to choose? It's a horribly imprecise term if you stare too long at it, so what I'm saying is that I don't think it's useful to pick on the doctor for his choice of words in this case.

Anyway, you have great points otherwise, but that first paragraph is not a point worth tripping over.

I'm a legs-up-on-table type of dreamer and thinker when I work. However, after working in corporate environments for many years I'm developing what can only been called a cognitive dissonance about this type of quiet thinking. The issue is that managers have always wanted me to track my time in 15-30 min increments, and there is never an expense category for "quiet thinking and reflection". Thus I've started to feel like a time thief [1] and it weighs on my conscience even though I know, deep down, that my quiet reflections are being used to solve difficult problems.

I would do a marijuana-focused startup. Marijuana has a real impact to improve people's lives in an abundance of ways. Culturally, it's not very well accepted now, but that will change. To me, it's a lot like sex: a couple of decades ago, there was this tremendous stigma surrounding sex that eroded to a large extent in our culture. I think we're seeing the same thing with marijuana.

A lot of people have no experience with marijuana, or experience limited to partying in high school and college. There's much more to it than that which society at large has not yet realized. Modern strains with high CBD combined with carefully controlling your dosage and using smoke-free delivery systems such as vaporizers and tinctures make taking it a much cleaner, less offensive affair. Not all marijuana has to blow your mind; it's quite practical to control your dosage and type to just give anxious people clarity of mind, help uneasy people sleep better, and a hundred other applications.

I know lots of people who wouldn't take drugs or smoke a joint, but when I show them a neatly packaged high cbd lozenge which will help them get right to sleep and have no hangover effects are most intrigued.

I bought a Pax vaporizer and it's amazing, and made by a San Francisco startup. It's a tremendous product.
Damn, isn't it frustrating to see how people are free to compete? Even worse, they're allowed to give away their competing products for free! The gall!

Seriously, though, you do know that there's no such thing as a free lunch, even when it comes to open source, right?
This is great news, thanks guys!

Are there really no limitations on the number of calls and text messages? I imagine many businesses and other use cases could operate indefinitely with a single phone number and unlimited calls/texts, so what's preventing 10,000+ customers from never paying a cent, or even reselling your service to others?
> That said, I think most businesses where this really matters have an Enterprise Agreement with a yearly true-up.

There may be a chicken and egg situation there; most people effected have an enterprise agreement because most people too small to have an enterprise agreement or where the enterprise agreement is not economical won't touch Windows Server with a bargepole, because you need the enterprise agreement to make it vaguely cost-effective.

Prices of components has gone down significantly. Price comparison would not hold out.

BTW the point I am trying to make is currently only available phone to developers (At least in US) gives a impression that Firfox OS is not worth the trouble. If Mozilla want to build dev support they need to sell a decently performing phone from their website and create positive impression with performance and usability.
