But I will say that New Zealand has a perceived problem currently as a somewhat 'nanny state'. Definitely a million kinds of by-laws but we try to resolve our differences with fairness in mind. Generally I describe New Zealand as a 'fair' country, as in, let's figure out what's fair for all involved.

User Experience
The HTML user-interface is "read only" unless Javascript is enabled
It's weird to call it a "misdesign", since that attribute is fundamental to the concept.
People won't be happy unless its the start menu from windows xp forever.
Funny that, I've downloaded plenty of things from t'internet but the only time I've had a security issue is after I signed up for an Adobe account and they exposed my email and password.
And then modded controllers destroyed any remaining semblance of skill. From what I can tell they're still a problem in other games.
It's very secure, if you verify and only send authorization tokens to MINs
Isn't Windows 8.1 already out? It seems like this article is a little bit behind the times.
Daddy, what's a stream?
Flipboard, Palo Alto, CA

We're working on building the world's best personal magazine.

We're taking that mission literally: my team, this week, just shipped this – http://gigaom.com/2014/01/29/flipboard-wants-to-tame-the-unr... – so, right now, we're biting off big problems in structuring and organizing social media through algorithmic approaches, editorial talent, social curation and striking design.

We're looking especially for Web engineering, systems/services, devops, building scaled machine learning pipelines, big data infrastructure, Android and iOS. And we need a great IT person, too. So, basically, everything.

You'll get: a competitive salary/equity package, a commute subsidy, an excellent healthcare plan, a 401k with company contributions, and big problems to solve. The company's ping-pong obsession is, over the last few weeks, in danger of being replaced by one with Street Fighter II. And lots of my colleagues have kids, including both the co-founders, so you can expect to get home in the evening in time to see them.

We've raised over $150m (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/flipboard), so we're going to be around for the long haul.

Apply here: http://jobvite.com/m?3NI5egwz and please feel free to email me with any questions you have at andrew at flipboard.com.

> design orientation doesn't give you enough clues to accomplish tasks

Design is a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints;
'Fucking' is, but softening it to 'effing' isn't, and 'blinding' is archaic, mostly used as an intensifying word rather than on it's own ('he was in a blinding hurry'). More likely to use 'bloody'.
All valid points! I hate dual booting, however. Tried many times and I never actually boot into the second OS. And, yeah, definitely should have not left my usb stick at home.
The article's first sentence annoys me right off the bat:

"Despite great strides in prevention and treatment, cancer rates remain stubbornly high and may soon surpass heart disease as the leading cause of death in the United States."

This seems to be implying that cancer death rates are growing and will soon "surpass" those of heart disease. While the article is technically correct, this is due to the fact that deaths per year from heart disease have been going down in the US since 1975 (see here: http://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart-public/@wcm/@sop/@smd/...)

It's irritating because the article's premise is flawed. It also gives no statistical data to back the claim that cancer rates are increasing.
I'd rather give money to small developers who build great products than steal from Adobe.

I grew up partly in the French school system too, but never had such kind of teachers. I was both in private schools and ZEP (area with high level of immigration and considered schools with problems). This is just to balance your point of view with respect to the French school system.
A far cleaner solution:

i was skeptical about reinstalling cs4 when i upgraded to mavericks and found that it actually worked. amazing. the unintuitive part was that i needed to install java which is no longer standard on a bare osx install, but afterwards, it worked, which blew my mind. i guess ymmv.
Of course I'd rather get a CT scan sooner than an MRI later if I'm a serious trauma patient. But CT scans are way over-used for procedures that are not time-critical.

I can't think of anyone without an already established reputation managing to do OK at a $5+ price point in the last year or two.

Like literally the only example of paid games I can think of to do one on phones in recent year are Minecraft, Final Fantasy and GTA.
The problem with Windows 8 is the fact that it has two different desktops experiences. I quickly realized I felt much more comfortable using my keyboard and mouse on the desktop mode. I tried to ignore metro mode and use only the desktop but the whole metro thing is so ingrained with it's sensible corners and start menu. After some time of tweaking I could disable most of the things and ended up with something resembling a crippled Windows 7 at best.

They really had something going on with Windows 7 and they blew it. Maybe metro is ok for light usage like checking emails, browsing, multimedia, which is certainly what a lot of people do, but for a developer like me it just feels handicapped.

This is what Microsoft should do, offer different versions of Windows, one with metro the other with the desktop. I really don't think they are that stupid to just mess with the momentum Windows 7 had.

If they don't then they are finished in the desktop front, at least for people who make things with their OS and not just consume media.
London, UK — Fountain Digital Labs (http://www.fountain-digital.com)

We're working on the delivery of live video streams from our own camera installations around the globe into an iPad app for children. Both the client part (iOS) and the video processing backend (Python/ffmpeg) are being actively developed in-house. We're currently looking for a Python developer and Video Streaming Engineer, both full-time in London. Our office is at TechHub, in the heart of the Silicon Roundabout, but we'll be moving to the new office in the same area very soon.

The usual job description blurb is at our landing page http://www.fountain-digital.com, just wanted to add that we're a well funded one year old company, with product prototype ready, now approaching first public release. It's nine of us, with five people located in London. These will be our first hires, so your influence on the end product is only limited by your own capacity. For the same reason we're super serious about picking the right people and should we find them, ready to treat them very well with interesting engineering tasks and cookies.

It's great to work here, really. If you want to ask anything about the product, technology, or simply wanna say hi, drop me a line (I'm the CTO), my email is in the profile.
In any case at least 80% aren't pirating (since iOS 7 had 80% user share before the jailbreak came out). 80% of the iOS market should be enough to survive on.
Sweet. For all my criticisms of G+, its voice/video chat has been a useful and novel feature.
> Now if you do a scan every year for the next 20 years your chances go up to 1 in 130

Unless the article is wrong about the number of CT scans many people are getting, that's going to result is a huge number of avoidable cancer cases.
I can't really complain about it much, it's awesome on my Surface of course, and not so great on my laptop. But really all I do is go back to desktop and it's really out of the way.

I too am missing the start menu, I think it's one of those things that just worked so well they shouldn't have changed it. The extra few seconds added to go in and find something on the metro desktop and pin it to my desktop or taskbar is a waste.

I see what they tried to do, but it's didn't really work out.
In the future we will DDOS the surveillance systems with realistic looking images of ourselves doing one of every kind of thing, as to blur the boundaries of what is real and what's not.
Is there any reason it shouldn't be? Yes, I understand how it's not useful for touch interfaces, but why does it have to be? Why do desktops need touch? Why can't tablets have their own, completely separate OS -- or at least their own shell? What advantage does convergence bring?
Interesting! I'm surprised to hear that maps aren't viewed as a replacement for records as Joe Armstrong (probably jokingly , I now realize) declared. Your explanation makes complete sense. Thanks for sharing your perspective, and thanks for maintaining LYSE!
AHAHA that error was f'd up. Yes, it has its crazyness', ocasionally, but I had a mighty good time with 12.04. Let's see how 13.10 behaves as my main driver.

About Fedora, I have fiddled with it in my Linux-discovery days (not that I'm any kind of pro! on the contrary) and found it to be rather OK, but right now I dont want to waste any time getting to know a different structure, different package manager, etc etc. That takes time and I'd like to focus on some important objectives on 2014.

Thanks for the tip though! (And for the read! Very excited for being noticed on the big orange ocean.)
Awesome! Thanks a ton for the suggestion.
The best course of action to prevent chargebacks is to make it ridiculously easy for customers to get in touch with you about refunds and other customer service issues. If the refund process is quicker and easier than issuing a chargeback, your users will be a lot less likely to try the latter.

If you do receive chargebacks, I'd recommend keeping extensive records that you can later upload as a PDF file as part of the dispute process.

Things like:

- IP addresses, logins, usernames and other proof that the customer used the product.

- User correspondence acknowledging the purchase.

- All invoices sent to the user.

- Emails or other documentation displaying cardholder consent for the transaction.

While it isn't always easy to win disputes for SaaS business, submitting comprehensive evidence in your dispute response significantly improves your chances.
First, I am never against adding good syntax into a language, I implemented the named funs. Second, just because Joe says something doesn't mean I agree. Third, here is my tentative answer to the piping syntax:

An F#-like pipe operator:

X |> F.
F(X).

A partial app syntax:

fun map(F)/1.
begin _1 = F, fun (_2) -> map(_1, _2) end.

These coupled together allows concise yet explicit function chaining and makes use of the most common convention which is to pass the most-changing argument last.

The problem with what Joe likes is that in X |> foo(bar), the call foo(bar) is transformed to foo(X, bar), making what really happens less obvious, a big no-no for Erlang.
I think this question is too vague to be answerable.

Enterprise SaaS for example is going to be entirely different than a game for iOS.

Opened comments to find whether this was said. Seriously, Windows 8.1 has been out for months. I checked the published date on this article three times.
With AOSP, you can build a custom Android device. It's unlikely you can get a license from Apple to build a custom iOS device.
It also seems to imply that medical tests which expose us to radiation are the cause of supposedly increasing cancer rates... which _seems_ a bit alarmist?
How about not using system administrator privilege to edit a TODO list? Good grief. If you want a simple text file, add "cat $HOME/TODO.txt" to your login profile script and then "etodos () { $EDITOR $HOME/TODO.txt; }"
They are all different concepts, but not mutually exclusive. I used "bold" since I feel the regime believed there was some positive probability of winning that war. Although I have no respect for the regime or the war they came up with, I feel "stupid" is the term that applies the least of all three.
Say you have the receiver on the top of a downtown building or a tower and you are transmitting from 1500', there's not too much that can get in the LOS. Receive systems can either be a single antenna, a series of antennas, or (like in the link above) a dish inside a radome - the dish generally can rotate the full 360 since the cable slips through the middle.
No offense, but there really aren't "shades of gray" here. I've definitely pirated things, but not wanting to pay the cost of something doesn't entitle you to spring forth "illegally downloading" as a justified option.

The article's case, where downloading the software legitimately was actually not an option, does establish that other option: he has paid for the software (or the serial, or the dream of software, or whatever), but Adobe has now made it impossible to legitimately access the software. He didn't contact Adobe and say "I've decided I must use your software, but I do not wish to pay, so it's cool if I pirate, right?"
Of course, no one would dispute ordering a CT for a trauma patient if the presentation warrants.

But the article was talking about the increase in CT usage over the past 20 years. That's largely been driven (in the US) by misaligned incentives that reimburse procedures at much higher rates that clinical decision making. Put simply, the person who owns the CT machine makes much more than the doctor who interprets the results. And so we have had a blossoming of imaging centers, and CT machines have moved into outpatient cardiology and even family care practices.

One of the major goals of Obamacare is addressing these misaligned incentives and shifting to a model where providers are paid to keep people healthy (outcome driven) rather than on volume (fee for service).

Another issue has been the difficulty of sharing/accessing existing imaging data, so tests are just repeated to save time (rather that save cost or adequately balance safety). Our long, painful journey to electronic record standardization should also help with that.
"We are giving ourselves cancer by living long enough to develop it"

is what the title should have said. This article is the worst form of opinion.
any chance you have a good resource showing how to do this properly?

I'm genuinely wondering at this point whether we should flag this post and submit the site as a suspected phishing exercise to the major search engines. There are no verifiable contact details, terms, privacy policy or other expected information on it. It's presumably collecting a lot of sensitive personal information in a dubious way. The guy allegedly submitting this post seems to have an HN account that he only ever uses for self promotion and it appears he has never replied to any comments or otherwise interacted with anyone here. About the only information I can find that looks anything like real data about this site is that it's trying to raise real money at a $3M valuation via AngelList, and the guy supposedly behind it worked for Microsoft and Groupon, the latter claim not exactly boosting confidence in the legitimacy of this new site. I don't want to go all knee-jerky and cause trouble if it really is a genuine project, but this looks really shady.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you find those human markters? It's my impression that startups have a difficult time hiring FTE markters, and so they either go without or hire agencies.
Hacking robinhood.io's waiting queue
Indeed. I would also like to see that British study that claims a link between CTs and leukemia – I smell selection bias. It is however true that a CT does imply a significant radiation dose.

This article is especially frustrating in that the authors seem to be doctors in the appropriate fields. I assume they just went too far in dumbing down the matter, which together with their source-less references to a dazzling amount of numbers and studies ends up obscuring their main point: A culture of using the “best” medical tool available instead of the “appropriate” tool can have adverse health effects, and has to stop.

All in all, there is a reason this article was filed under Opinions, not Science.
> Problem is, the open source community apparently decided Gimp and Inkscape were probably good enough

I suspect the projects are just short on developer effort, and that no-one decided it was "good enough" to not need improvement. If you are submitting patches that are being denied by the project maintainers, you are welcome to fork the project. That is the "open source community".

I think that's just symptomatic of a general lack of good careers advice in schools and universities. Most people I sit down with have no idea that they're meant to have been tracking their achievements and metrics. Even people who've led very impressive lives; worked in government, been pilots, etc.

I suspect there's a certain self-serving aspect in that on the part of schools and universities. If students had the view that their education was going to be a foot in the door; maybe listed as a line at the base of their CV, and the time at uni listed as another job. - If students were expected to ask of the stuff they were doing right then, 'What is this helping me achieve that I'll be able to put on my CV?'... the answer would frequently be, 'Bugger all.'

It's not in schools of universities interests to give you good advice if that advice contradicts a view of the world that supports the importance of their services. And there are precious few other sources of advice that are likely to know what they're talking about.

Big elephant in the room: Pre-test ban atmospheric nuclear tests.

Of course, there's nothing anyone can do about it. The somatic damage period is probably more or less over, but we are transitioning through the genetic damage period.
Travel, itself, isn't constitutionally protected, except insofar as it may be necessary for assembly; even then, it's the right of assembly that's protected. The government's position, one with which I'm somewhat sympathetic, is that the means of travel isn't protected. You can still take a bus or a train, drive yourself, or even hitchhike, if you're barred from flying. To say otherwise is tantamount to the claim that, as a citizen, you have a right to a driver's license. You don't.

All that aside, you seem equally hung up on whether someone is acting in some capacity as a TSA official or not. I maintain that unless someone specifically and explicitly claims they're speaking in that capacity, we should assume they're speaking as a private party.

I don't think it's the least bit ambiguous whether Mr. Harrington's blog posts — written while he was in the TSA's employ — nor this article, written after, are an official TSA position. Nor is it ambiguous whether your hypothetical anti-Muslim editorial, even were it penned by an active TSA employee — or, for that matter, officer or executive — is or isn't TSA policy. The legal system's notional "reasonable person" would be able to distinguish private speech from government policy in both cases, mooting your argument.

Seeking short term contracts to supplement existing employment.

I am a human/machine interface designer && developer. My work consists of "from scratch" UX and interface design, from the napkin to nginx.
I have considerable experience with Ruby and Javascript, years of experience with Rails, and extensive knowledge of client-side MVC.

I've made contributions to Ember.js, and have written multiple 10k+ LOC apps - starting with 0.9 up to the latest 1.0 (one was recently featured on Venture Beat: http://venturebeat.com/2013/07/22/uniiverse-releases-direct-...). I am acutely aware of the challenges/strategies associated with migrating server side architecture into the browser, leaning down views, and fattening up controllers.

I am the author of an open source project called Quant (https://github.com/jdjkelly/quant) - a Rails API + Angular.js app to track "quantified self" data from every manufacturer willing to give it up. My work here was featured on The Verge alongside a similar project by the founder of Foursquare (http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/4/4392996/fitness-tracker-dat...)

Recently, I also contributed to the development of an iOS app, which is now in the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/ticket-manager-by-uniiverse/.... I was responsible for integrating a credit card device reader with an existing checkout API, testing, and delivering a final build to the app store.

Do not, do not, DO NOT, try writing raw transactions at home. You will fail and you will lose a lot of money.

If you must:
- Use testnet! If you don't know what testnet is, you have no business writing live raw transactions.
- ALWAYS validate your transaction first by having bitcoind pretty-print it, and checking the output carefully, before sending.
