UltraSharp is an established Dell moniker though, been around much longer than UltraHD.

Anyway, as for unifying the product line- Dell being Dell, that would mean simply cutting the UltraSharp product line, which I would consider a loss.

Have you considered memcached with nginx HttpMemcachedModule? If so, why didn't you decide to use that instead? Seems like all of 4chan's active posts could easily fit in memory of server with a moderate amount of ram (especially if compressed).

There's a significant amount that can go wrong in the laboratory when generating test results. So congress passed laws saying the FDA must regulate these laboratories. 23andMe chose not to comply with these regulations, to not collaborate with the FDA.

Blaming the FDA is quite misplaced. If you want the laws to be different, congress is the part of the government with power to change the regulations. The FDA seems to be attempting to do the minimal amount required by law, and does not appear to be in the least bit overzealous with 23andMe.

That 23andMe has not complied with basic QA and analytic reassurances should concern you greatly, and doubt the quality of 23andMe. What 23andMe is doing is somewhat equivalent to writing code and not having any unit tests, integration tests, or any QA team. Or perhaps they're doing all that, but don't want to report to the FDA. In any case, quite shady.

I kind of feel the same way- I'm a year into learning Ruby and Rails right now and I know for a fact I don't "dream in code" the way other "natural programmers" seem to. But I'm friendly as fuck and work my ass off, and can usually google or Stack Overflow my way out of a situation, and I'm picking up the Ruby and Rails as I go. Still hoping to get a job as a Jr Rails dev somewhere and pass the technical test but fuck it. Not gunna lose sleep over it.

Of course not, but understanding what that means is key to using it. If you think a red black tree is some arcane bullshit that you never are going to use, you will probably skip over it when you read the docs and get bitten.

>multidiscpline approaches by good PTs often involve some manual therapy of direct spinal manipulation.

Indeed, but the differences between the practitioners are dramatic.

Physical therapy uses evidence-based medicine as performed by highly trained medical practitioners.

Chiropractors are woefully under qualified to perform spinal manipulation, and patient outcomes reflect this in significantly higher injury rates.

Chiropractic is a field developed and persisted by charlatans.

Your parent is grouping iPod/iPhone/iPad. Yes, the original iPod didn't run iOS, but he's just using it as a moniker. We could call them iDevices if that pleases you more.

The iPod wasn't just an infusion of cash to keep the company alive, to me it really looks like the start of the whole mobile line that today runs iOS.
> > the medical equivalent of scientology (chiropractic medicine).

An apt analogy. Scientology happens to include a few training exercises that might be considered valid or beneficial. But a small grain of validity isn't enough to overcome the metric ton of woo and indoctrination surrounding it. Anything of value can be assessed by researchers in the relevant qualified field, but those small grains aren't Scientology, and you wouldn't label them that.

A chiropractor who performs physiotherapy is analogous to a scientologist who performs mainstream psychology. Or a homeopathist who slips full doses of actual drugs into their dilutions.

> This is an unfair slander

In my view, anyone providing services under the chiropractic banner can be legitimately called idiots, quacks, charlatans, and a danger to society. They are unqualified to perform anything. They deserve all the scorn and ridicule we can muster. I don't care if they focus on techniques consistent with physiotherapy; by using the chiropractic label, they are providing legitimacy to the ones who believe and practice woo woo.

If you want to practice physiotherapy, we already have a label for that. It's called physiotherapy.

I actually made the comment more in the spirit of a "hey, you HN types looking at starting your own worldwide Web based service / company, heads-up, this is a problem you'll face."

That said: I've actually pretty much given your "they're Google, they're smart, they can figure this out" response when I've have noted weaknesses in Google's response / user support/service.

Though there are some companies / organizations which have gone a long way to building very-low-overhead organizations. Wikipedia and Craigslist both come to mind (and yes, they've had their problems).

Another story emerged out of the ACA/Obamacare rollout. One news item I heard concerning it noted that when Social Security rolled out, there were staffed offices located in cities and towns throughout the US where people could go for support. That's something which the online/automated world has largely done away with.

Though the thought occurs to me: what would the required infrastructure (and cost of development) be for producing a paper-record based application process for ACA? Would it not perhaps be simpler than the online version?
This is all moot, because you can just alias either command to a single letter if you use it that much.

Funnily enough, just yesterday a friend of mine just told me that a few years ago the database of a blog community he runs got corrupted and had to be recovered. Unfortunately, the server where he was sending his backups got full like 3 months prior and he didn't know, so he had basically lost 3 months of data. He recovered most posts checking Google Cache too. And yes, now he has all the systems properly set up with alerts, proper backups and such :)
Also, modems didn't really seem very different from ethernet. My initial reaction as an early adolescent to first encountering ethernet was along the lines of, "oh, so it's just a wider port? what's all the fuss about?" Besides all the funny noises on connection (which, as an aside - why did the handshake have to actually be audible?), everything seemed to work the same, just more slowly. You don't have to forget about modems to be unaware that using sound to transmit computer data was once common.

Keeping aside Godaddy's ethical issues, their support is actually pretty good, definitely above industry average. The times I had to contact them in the past, they did go the extra mile to resolve the issue and even waived any invloved fees. Don't know why I feel this way but now a days getting phone support (especially 24/7) seems like a miracle. So apart from my moral compass going wonky, I have no real complaints about them.

Other services I tried:

Namecheap: Decent prices, great support, beware of domains with certain keywords (would require approval).

Gandi: Decent prices (Free Whois guard), poor support, beware of moral clause in TOS.

So poor people should try getting rich because there is a chance everyone will get poor?

Sorry, I'm not parsing that. Are you missing a negative somewhere?

My intended meaning: a greater level of allocation equity may be achieved. If we're lucky, it's going to be at a relatively high level (I'd be happy with a late 19th / early 20th century industrialized world equivalent). If we're not, it will be at subsistence agricultural levels -- somewhere between late bronze and early iron ages.

Modern industrialized civilization is a tremendous heat engine, and without high-quality fuel inputs, it will cease to function. That will tend to decrease global wealth and population drastically.
UTC is defined in terms of days. UTC calendar dates are presumed to use the Gregorian calendar. 2023-01-01 in the Gregorian calendar maps to a specific day (Julian day 2459946).

If you wanted to use a different calendar, you would need to map it to Julian days also to convert between the two.

The idea that the world would suddenly change to a new calendar is highly unlikely, and if it did happen it is not at all clear what the correct behavior would be for future dates that had been specified before the switch.

Spirit Airlines has one particular fee which is entirely absurd. In addition to the requisite checked bags fee and carry-on bag fee, you're charged a fee for booking a flight over the phone...or online. Yes, the booking option which involves no actual person, and so is cheapest for the airline, costs money. The only way to avoid the fee is to book your ticket from a live agent at the airport.

Clearly, they do it because booking a flight at the airport is absurdly inconvenient and so few people will do it, rather than as a means of defraying the cost of hiring a customer service agent. But that, combined with their nasty reputation of seeking to extract every last dime from your wallet (someone else mentioned Ryanair as being as if Ayn Rand started an airline company, and Spirit certainly seems like that as well) prevents me from being willing to ever book a flight with them. Even though, counting the fees, they've often been the cheapest option on a flight I've needed, I prefer the second-cheapest airline, which is usually Southwest (unless I don't need to check a bag, in which case United usually wins).

I don't think wikipedia is such a great way to decide on a language. A better way is things like chat messages, but they are harder to analyze.
I'd bet a large portion of these languages don't even have official written languages. Some of the Chinese languages have tens of millions of native speakers and even they have no standardized way of writing their languages. When you start getting into languages that are specific to a tribe or very local area, the odds seem pretty low.

"The FDA lacks any specific statutory authority to regulate genomic sequencing technologies. President Obama knows this, because as a Senator in 2006 and 2007 he introduced bills that would regulate the genomics industry. They never passed. Yet in 2010 the FDA simply decreed by fiat that these tests are considered new medical devices that require premarket testing and approval." -- http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230446560...

23andme complies with all the rules governing genetics laboratories. It's the offering the results to consumers and the interpretation that the FDA says makes it the equivalent of a medical device rather than a medical laboratory, and which puts it under a separate, much tougher regulatory regime.

EDIT: Of course Congress tells the FDA how it is to regulate genetics labs, and how it is to regulate medical devices. But I think the decision to regulate 23andme as a medical device is very much something the people in charge at the FDA had some leeway in.
Of course, reality likes to get in the way. Injury has a way of screwing up exercise plans. Don't just bull through warning signs in the name of consistency.

Yes, succinct and concrete headlines are important. "Not burying the lead". But my criticism is a lack of specific "How it works" copy on most product websites.
I think you are missing the point that UNIX time moves backwards by a second whenever a leap second is added. It is discontinuous with respect to the actual passage of time.
That depends on whether you are globalist or nationalist.

Globalist - good, less languages - less barriers. Good for international commerce and knowledge sharing.

Nationalist - bad, loss of language means some part of cultural heritage lost.

Truth is always somewhere in between.
The FDA’s letter to 23andMe calls “particularly concerning” the information the tests would provide about the gene linked to breast cancer (BRCA) “because of the potential health consequences that could result from false positive or false negative assessments.”

According to 23andMe's site:
"You should not change your health behaviors solely on the basis of information from 23andMe. Make sure to discuss your Genetic Information with a physician or other health care provider before you act upon the Genetic Information resulting from 23andMe Services. For most common diseases, the genes we know about are only responsible for a small fraction of the risk. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices that are far more important predictors. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, you should not feel that you are protected. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not mean you will definitively develop the disease or condition. In either case, if you have concerns or questions about what you learn through 23andMe, you should contact your physician or other health care provider."

Meet Patrick Soon-Shiong, The Billionaire Reinventing Health Care Using Big Data
It's nice to be able to have productive discussion on the internet!

We can agree on almost all points, I think.

The CS 101 bit you mention is a good point: intrusiveness matters for asymptotics in CS, and should be taught in academia, not (very small portions of) industry.

By the way, when you mention "a vector whose elements are linked list heads", a much more typical scenario is an array/vector whose elements contain one or more list heads.

You were wondering about the kinds of software I was working on that needs this stuff: high-performance storage controllers. We need to maintain a lot of concurrency, handle a lot of kinds of failures, etc. We often require the same objects (e.g: an ongoing I/O request) to be looked up in various ways, associated with failure domains, timed out, etc. So we want it organized by many different data structures, and we need the O(1) of deleting it from the various structures when an I/O request dies.

We also shun dynamic allocations, aside from relatively rare memory pools for large structures that contain the various allocations we need. Intrusive style allows us so many nice things within this style:

* Avoiding the runtime costs of dynamic allocations

* Avoiding the memory costs of extra indirections incurred by dynamic allocations and STL (non-intrusive) style

* Avoiding handling out-of-memory errors in every single code path: there are almost no allocations anywhere, almost all functions become "void" error-free functions!

* Having optimal asymptotics for our operations

* Having reusable generic data structures in C without templates (we dislike C++)

Compared to all this, the STL stuff is just horrible. STL is widely considered to be a superb library, but I find it horrid.

Your opinion. I think it looks fine. I quite like the 'long scroll' format that's become popular recently. All my devices (MacBook, Android phone etc.) make scrolling simpler than finding and clicking a link. And I feel like I got the main proposition of the product pretty quickly, without having to click around various 'features' and 'specs' pages.
And what percentage of people in the world uses one of the languages in that 4% as their primary language? I'm guessing it's a really large percentage, probably a majority of the world's population. It's not really useful to look at the percent of languages when they vary in the number of speakers by so much (and there's a long tail of languages with a vanishingly small number of speakers).
There are, unfortunately, very specific laws that exclude such "supplements" from the scrutiny expected of most products. These laws bind the FDA's hands.

I used to think well of Sony but my PS3 has lowered my opinion of them as much as the issues with Sony laptops that family members own. I'd love to see them invest in quality and turn things around but I don't expect them to. It's like they've lost the ability to think through the whole experience so even their nice products have extreme low points.
I expect it's a matter of precedent. If you're a chiropractor or a herbal supplement manufacturer you can hire a lawyer who will tell you exactly what you're allowed to say in your advertisements because the FDA has already litigated that over decades of chiropractors and herbal supplement manufacturers.
