The article said cloning on an industrial scale, not hog farming. 500/year large mammal cloning is quite a lot more than anything I've ever heard of. That was the actual point. The things they are claiming to do are not novel, but the scale certainly is. As far as the "sequence everything" goal, BGI has the infrastructure and an established track record already. The final claim that China is an emerging science powerhouse is also not really debatable, considering they are 2nd in R&D spending to the US.
The US are tyrants? Seriously?
My first Rails project was 2.3 -> 3.2 (with intermediary steps if I recall). It took me a couple weeks, and I ascribed most of that to how unfamiliar I was with the stack at the time. Since then, I've become rather candid in my opinion that Rails upgrades are rather trivial. Do you know of any specific red flags that would indicate a more painful upgrade process?
He tried removing it entirely, he mentioned reading in the post. Why isn't it ok that he found a way to get to sleep easier with his devices?
Being a developer you should really know the difference between "running speed", "network speed", and that total perceived speed has never been under your complete control. end user machines vary in power, end users have various latency and throughputs, networks get congested, etc.

But you are right, an internet without net-neutrality sucks balls.
I like the idea of net neutrality conceptually, but the ulterior motives of its proponents bugs me.

The ulterior motives of the opponents of net neutrality bother me much more. I can't help but imagine a world where companies like Comcast have complete control over the internet. They pick the winners, whether it's the next Google, Facebook, or Netflix. With, of course, Comcast receiving a hefty percentage for allowing said winner to succeed if they don't have complete control over the winners outright.

The fact that Germany still allows the presence and construction of extremely expensive and big NSA surveillance centers (tapping into German infrastructure) such as the "Dagger complex" [0] certainly says a lot with regards to "sovereignty".

Ask HN: Is it worth it to make a Cydia app?
I'm trying to figure out whether it makes sense for my startup (BeeLine Reader) to build an app for jailbroken iOS devices. Some quick background:

The BeeLine algorithms apply line-wrapping color gradients to text that make reading easier and faster. This turns out to be moderately helpful for most people, and extremely helpful for some (esp. those with ADD and dyslexia, FWIW).

While we could build an app for the regular app store—and reach a much larger audience—Apple doesn't allow apps that have any system-wide impact. That is, we can't build a "BeeLine setting", which is what we'd ideally like to do.

If we build an app for the Cydia store, we would have the ability to make a system-wide setting, but the audience would of course be much smaller.

Have you built an app for the Cydia store? What factors did you weigh in your decision?
Well Android requires me to stop what I'm doing and fiddle with my phone to get directions home or call my girlfriend or get movie times %100 of the time. I'll take the occasional timeout since Siri seamlessly routes me to my house with a single button press/voice command.

I think that one of the fundamental problems with the current patent system is that NPEs are able to use shell companies to shield themselves from the financial consequences of their bad acts. I hope one of the "finer points of patent law" that the Supreme Court will be looking at is just this issue.

Yep. and the simple solution is a server-side wildcard route.
I know, but now we can't even manipulate those things for better performance. You can have the best server, network and code but it won't matter if the provider doesn't give you preference. That's the issue. Takes what little control we have, as developers, away.

Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany
(http://usa.usembassy.de/etexts/2plusfour8994e.htm):

"Welcoming the fact that the German people, freely exercising their right of self-determination, have expressed their will to bring about the unity of Germany as a state so that they will be able to serve the peace of the world as an equal and sovereign partner in a united Europe;"

"(1) The French Republic, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America hereby terminate their rights and responsibilities relating to Berlin and to Germany as a whole. As a result, the corresponding, related quadripartite agreements, decisions and practices are terminated and all related Four Power institutions are dissolved."

"(2) The United Germany shall have accordingly full sovereignty over its internal and external affairs."

Wanting the "engine" of emacs but the interface conventions of vim, I've been using emacs with Evil (https://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home) a bit lately, and quite liking the combination. It implements a fairly good portion of vim, enough to cover just about everything I regularly use, which was a pleasant surprise (I'm used to "vim compatibility" layers usually being pretty shallow).

Any hints? Anyone?
I am sorry, it's like 5 years back when I did it, and I don't remember (nor I am inclined in pursuing it further). (I didn't gave up because it became impossible, I just became less interested.)

But lot of those harder ones - as far as I can tell - required pretty deep knowledge of number theory, which even though I studied math (10 years ago), didn't have. I think it would be nice if there was sometimes a hint about what the people should study to be able to solve it.

Did you not read the part where he said it was his project at Google? You attacked the project. It looks like you got cowed by Daniel's response, and now are just tendentiously refusing to apologize. Maybe just apologize?

People on HN get caught up in this idea that they are having 1-on-1 conversations, but really they're always writing to the whole site. Lots of people are reading this little thread. What convincing argument do you think you're making in that context? You're an anonymous person with one message ("Google is an evil NSA accomplice") trying to tell the actual person who managed the voting information project at Google that Google had malicious intentions for voting information. You look silly.
You make money building web based applications that rely entirely on someone else's very expensive communications networks. Their networks have value without your applications, but your applications have no value without their networks. Why shouldn't they be able to dictate whatever terms they want? Why should the government intervene to artificially give you more leverage?
No, from private to public. They are notorious for changing privacy policies with effects that are not obvious to most users.
I'm not sure how you think this wouldn't affect you. If a website can't survive because the fees to "carry it" are too high, and they are frozen out of the market, we all lose. It's only one internet, after all.

The problem I have with NN is the completely arbitrary way companies abide by it.

For instance Google was all about NN when they were sued by AT&T after they set up Google Voice. Then, when they got into the broadband game, all the things they were for with NN, instantly went out the window.

It appears companies are usually for something until they're against it. The FCC isn't much help either, since they really don't have any muscle to enforce the NN existing rules anyways.
I think the gist of it is that the FCC exceeded it's authority in deeming ISPs Common Carriers. Legislation from congress and signed by the executive will be needed.
Sorry if I sound like an ass-hat but how do I know you aren't collecting email addresses simply for selling to a spammer? There is nothing on your site that explains what your product does. Heck, there isn't even the standard disclaimer that you won't sell my address to spammers!

I understand the need to keep your idea secret until you launch but I don't understand the need to keep potential users completely in the dark.

This was needlessly pedantic. We all know what's within our control, and never accounted for a greedy carrier to choke the pipes.
Companies like Comcast are the internet. Without their massive capital investment in building networks, there is nothing but a bunch of software running on computers that can't talk to each other. Why shouldn't they get to control it however they want?

If the Googles and Facebooks of the world don't want to abide by the terms set by the Comcasts of the world, they should build their own networks. If there are regulatory barriers to doing that, those should be the target of regulatory reform.
In the context of international politics they are a clear match for most definitions of tyranny. Killing civilians based on behavioral profiles (look up "signature strikes drones") without any declaration of war against the countries in question (Pakistan, Yemen) is just one example. The relations between the US and most south-american countries is another one.
but you miss the point - if they don't pay, it doesn't affect my ability to visit them (unless Verizon et al are part of the backbone network on the route between their server host and my house).

I'm not saying it's a good thing - it's a very bad thing to have no NN law! - just that my browsing will be largely unaffected.

The basic problem is that one intervention is seeking to fix another. Crop subsidies are the reason why these antibiotics are so widely used. Farmers are encouraged to feed animals food they aren't meant to eat which makes them so sick they need antibiotics to stay alive long enough to be slaughtered.

Just end those crop subsidies and let things take care of themselves. A few agribusinesses will be pissed but the rest of us will be much better off.

I think the bigger issue is really increasing competition in markets where cable companies have monopolies. The only way to limit the control of the internet is make sure more companies have a chance to compete.

This should in theory, drive down prices and increase the quality of the product offered to customers.
That's true about JSON - it can be quite tedious if you have to write JSON reads and writes for things like JSON validation. But Play can autogenerate the reads/writes combinators for cases where validation isn't needed, so it ends up being as simple as putting a JsonFormatter in your companion object for a case class - 1 line. Play (and Jerkson) usually knows what to do with it, assuming all nested classes have json formatters in their companion objects, too.

I am just glad to be done with PHP.

We saw what happened when Germany "rose up" in the middle of the last century. I guess Germans though the jews were tyrants back then.
Found this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall

The National Security Agency was the only American intelligence agency that was aware that East Germany was to take action to deal with the brain drain problem, i.e. the outflow of East-Germans via Berlin. On 9 August 1961, the NSA intercepted an advance warning information of the East German Communist Party's plan to close the intra-Berlin borders between East- and West-Berlin completely for foot traffic. The interagency intelligence Watch Committee assessed that this intercept "might be the first step in a plan to close the border." This warning reached not U.S. President John F. Kennedy until noon on August 13, 1961, who was vacationing in his yacht off the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. While Kennedy was angry that he had no advance warning, he was relieved that the East Germans and the Soviets had only divided Berlin without taking any action against West Berlin's access to the West. However he denounced the Berlin Wall, whose erection worsend the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union.
No, that's wrong. They specifically did not call ISPs common carriers - they tried to give them the obligations of common carriers without reclassifying them, because they wanted to avoid a lengthy legal fight from the ISPs (who certainly do not want to be common carriers, because that eliminates their ability to charge troll tolls.)
The general public doesn't have an issue with DRM, they happily purchase the content as-is today. They may grumble when they have to purchase a movie for the second or third time but they continue to do so. Therefore the public, being people with money, have stated overwhelmingly that they want content without stipulating anything about DRM, free or otherwise. You are attempting to apply your viewpoint on the general public, which clearly does not agree with you.

As for your statement that Hollywood is being delusional about DRM being able to prevent piracy. They are not delusional about it at all. They know exactly what's going on. They want DRM that prevents casual copying so that Uncle Bob doesn't give a copy of the latest movie to his entire family which is not an attempt at monetary gain. That way they only have to spend money going after serious piracy efforts that exist for the purpose of making money. Your statement assumes that Hollywood is being run by stupid people and that's a serious mistake to make in this type of debate.

In the warsaw circle countries, we had a joke (and I say it as a fairly hardline socialist) that „communism heroically solves the problems it created”.

Sounds like the case.
You're complicating the issue:

1) I pay for the dumb pipe to give me all the internet fluid I care to pay for, regardless of its makeup.

2) I pay either one of or both of the content provider and service for the content.

All of these pieces have to work together. The internet is nothing without content, and the content is ungettable without the internet. A Mutually-assured destruction relationship between these three elements should be quite sufficient.

I think this works as long as the engineering managers follow a few guidelines:

* Don't code 20% of a full solution with your 30% time and expect the other engineers to pick up your work and finish the other 80% to make it production ready. If you can't cross the halfway point with a task, don't take it on.

* If you do need an engineer to make your code production ready or fix a bug in it, don't act like you did him/her a favor by "getting it off the ground". They are doing YOU a favor by finishing your work for you!

* Be humble and expect to take massive amounts of criticism from engineers who take a lot of pride in their code and spend their careers perfecting it.

* Avoid becoming overly defensive and asking engineers to relax their established code quality guidelines or test coverage to accommodate your compressed schedule.

He explained that the only method that got his brain disengaged was to watch TV series re-runs. Reading kept him engaged. He couldn't cope with reading boring things (in my case, I'd just give up on the boring material, lay it aside and then lay in bed for hours trying to get to sleep...)

So, you turn on the TV in the bedroom and annoy your sleeping partner - no, this won't do. So you go to another room to watch and fall asleep elsewhere and relationship issues ensue with your sleeping partner. Nope, not gonna cut it.

Tablet, dimmed, in bed, with re-runs ... and it works for this guy.
Your summary of the incentives is not wrong, but I fail to see how it argues against net neutrality. The dumb pipes are basically that. If providing a commodity service, even with local monopoly power, is not sufficiently lucrative to meet the needs of the greater economy, then perhaps we should admit that broadband is, like roads, water pipes, and power lines, a common good that a free market will fail to provide and which therefore needs to either be owned by governmental entities or heavily regulated and subsidized by them.

The most troubling lesson she learned from Mullen, Gomez says, is how readily misleading information can migrate from a posting on an Internet forum to official status. “In a second, what’s false becomes true,” she observes. “All it takes is for one person to put it on the record.”

I guess everyone finally learned that information on the internet can be false. :-)

I feel that the problems we face with antibiotics is similar to those we face with oil.
