Antibiotic resistance is a fact, what else can you expect given the game rules. What is less well known is that majority of people do not need antibiotics anyway and that majority of those who were taking them probably didn't need them too. Advice that recommended AB's before for stuff like otitis, helicobacter infection or even common cold (given for this disease because of opportunistic infections) is now changing without any problems, if anything, for the better.

AB's should be saved for those few moments in life where you really need them and is not something you want to do every few months like majority of people, particularly kids.

There are far better ways to strengthen your body and immune system without risks that are overwhelming with AB's (which are way better known today after we have some bits of microbiome) - nutrition and supplements. Even measures like using viruses as antibiotics are probably better then popping AB's like candies.

This news is probably beginning of the "next big big pharma thingy" that will come to rescue and will typically, yet again, use inappropriate tool for the job. The only good that will come out of it are probably not going to be, however, lives saved but science advancement.

Sciencemag.org uses a special metatag for authors (citation_author). I'm not sure how common this is, but I will add logic to check these. Then SpeedCite would properly cite the author.

On a personal note, my mom is still under the weather, having stuck to three different courses of antibiotics for a simple nasal infection.

It's frightening when this becomes the norm, not the exception because we're basically running out of options by natural selection moving faster than research.

We need a crash program to develop antibiotics before it's too late.
What is your company's policy on ads that automatically open up iTunes or Google Play if they detect an iOS or Android device.

Because that shady practice is really starting to annoy me.

I've now had to enable parental controls (for myself) and block the iTunes app to prevent these annoying subversive ads from hijacking my browser on my iPad.

I'd like to see a policy of 1 warning then a ban for ad publishers who use these underhanded methods.

This is good. I'm left wondering about a couple of thing.

- Would a parallel standard be useful that allows the rel="" and type="" attributes of <a> to signal the kind of app (for mobile and desktop) that could better handle the resource than the browser? I've been enamored with this idea of general cross-linking between browsers and native apps for quite a while, but it seems like a pipe dream.

- Is it even possible to have general data types that multiple apps can handle (and what would the selection UI look like for that)? Think lat/long for mapping apps, addresses (for a variety of apps), events (time/data/address), etc.

I should add that the referring app UI for iOS is clever, great job whoever thought of that.

Frankly, I think the thing that they all get so wrong is over-estimating the amount of time that would actually be spent on the interface design.

The one limit seems to be that even if we did that the bacteria will evolve to become resistant against those as well. This is a game of leap-frog, we've been ahead for a while, now we'll be behind for a while and so on.

Think of it as a very slow arms race where on the one side there is intelligence and design and on the other there is the lottery driven mechanism of evolution that rewards the solver of the newly posed problem with a very large number of offspring.

The sides are surprisingly well matched and short of total eradication this is likely going to be the game for the next foreseeable future.

The bigger challenge will be to restrain ourselves to consume much more limited amounts if and when we do find antibiotics that work again in order to lengthen the time that we're 'on top'.

Have the server respond with the necessary info but generate the style client side instead of server side. There doesn't appear to be any need to make trips back to the server to change styles.

The Hard Truths of Entrepreneurship
Does this basically mean a lot more people will die from simple infections starting 1-2 years from now ?

No, the problem is not that severe right now. In fact, some of the antibiotic resistant infections have decreased over the last few years.

This is something we need to worry about 5-10+ years from now. It is inevitable that bacteria will become resistant to current antibiotics. The only way to keep ahead of them is to create new antibiotics.
For interest, you can do something like this on the command line using curl. Try these:

curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019"

curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019"

curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=apa" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019"

My academic life became a lot simpler when I learnt this - now I only need to maintain a database of {cite key: DOI} pairs, rather than a bibtex monster. Yes, I have tried Mendeley et al. and yes, I do prefer scripts that do what I tell them to.
That's one side, the other side would be a crash program to develop a spectrum of closely-guarded, last-resort antibiotics.
Running a daemon in screen can also been useful when for whatever reason the daemon accepts commands via stdin. I know a lot of game servers do this. For example, with the Quake3 server you can use stdin to list users, ban users, change maps, and do other things without having to launch a game client and authenticating as a server admin. Although I guess technically if a server process supports interactive input then its not a "daemon" anymore, but I'm not keeping score.

It's worth noting that the perfect fourth, when it involves the bass, is considered a dissonance in Common Practice music,* and even in the freer harmonic contexts of twentieth century music it's a bit of a cipher: it acts as a dissonance in relatively consonant contexts and as a consonance in relatively dissonant contexts.

* If you read Schoenberg's Harmonielehre, he has some pretty idiosyncratic but somewhat plausible theories about why the 6/4 chord is dissonant, involving the overtones of the bass being diatonic (say we're talking about C 6/4 and the relevant overtones being B and D) but also dissonant with regards to the nominal root of C. That the 6/3 chord is relatively consonant is explained by the fact that the overtones of the bass in that arrangement suggest a sufficiently distant key so as not to plausibly oppose the sounding fundamentals. I think the more likely explanation is the historical one, which treats the 6/4 as the reification of the frequently used motif of a suspension from the pre-dominant harmony over the dominant bass that then passes downward to the goal tones (in C major, the archetypal lines would be A -> G -> F -> E and F -> E -> D -> C over a bassline like F (or D) -> G -> G -> C). The 6/4 chord's dissonance, then, is merely a result of the fact that its appearance came to unequivocally imply a certain resolution.
Depends on the routing instructions in the order, but generally speaking if BATS matches the best price then BATS will match as much as it can against the liquidity that is available at BATS and route the remainder.

Docker is not designed to isolate the root user from the rest of your system, and containers/capabilities are not MAC-based security. Docker strips 16 capabilities when it runs a container, leaving 23 additional capabilities to be abused by root, and whatever other vulnerabilities are left that capabilities don't cover. To prevent this you need guest isolation via virtualization.

Since the legwork was done on a local level, yes, it could scale at first. You'd just need a Federal level agency to forward information to the right locals. You don't have to nab all the perps, you just have to nab enough of them to change the expected cost-benefit equation.

Also, adding levels of indirection only increases enforcement work linearly.

What you'd end up with are just a few organizations with the resources and expertise to outcompete other operators in terms of opsec and secure fulfillment, while wannabes and new operators serve as fodder for enforcement. Somewhat like today's situation.

Also, since enforcement depends on local enforcement, local corruption will increase.
Really? Even if the web server was run in a VM?

It's also $137/hr or $121/hr, depending on whether you assume 8- or 9-hour workdays. In IT consulting, these are not high rates.

Also keep in mind: A day rate implies consultant (i.e. non-employee) work, which further implies <100% utilization. Assuming he only works weekdays and takes 4 weeks of vacation (comparable to working at a BigCo), 80% utilization gets you to ~192 days, or $210k.

That's probably optimistic, though. This math further assumes he is able to sell 80% of his time in the 20% of his nonbillable time, and that he doesn't lose any billable time due to scheduling issues (i.e. each client is ready to go as soon as he is). Depending on his business, he'll have to spend some cash on overhead (accountants, lawyers, etc.).
It's not central to the argument, because the OP's position is obviously suboptimal for the company. However, yours is an interesting view, and a point in my argument that does require clarification.

Current good management practices envision managing as optimizing company behavior for all company stakeholders. In past times, management optimized for shareholder profit. Optimizing for shareholder profit alone has been repeatedly proven not sustainable. It usually leads to very spectacular failures, which themselves cause the public notion that all management is still shareholder-oriented. Not all companies are managed like this. Successful ones manage their relationship with all stakeholders. It is in this view that caring for candidates is important.

In this view, in order to maximize long term profit, you should aim to create positive effects on every individual or organization that somehow interfaces with your company. This is obviously theoretical, and impractical. Sometimes it is just not possible, and anyhow you have to give higher importance to central stakeholders (shareholders, customers, employees). However, when the cost is not too high, you should strive for positive impacts.

In hiring, the cost of reviewing non-standard resumes is not relevant. The cost of causing a bad impression on the random important candidate that you decline, or the cost of missing an excellent hire, is relevant. The OP's position is fundamentally wrong.

Or the kind of candidate who will pedantically lecture me about the evils of LinkedIn, which is even worse.
I think Android definitely has a stronger story than iOS, but Android also allows any app to handle any url, so multiple apps can attempt to handle a domain (like facebook.com), whereas app links allows you to direct the link to a single app (or a suite of apps).

"mobile" also means more than just iOS and Android, although they're the two dominant platforms today.

The value I see in my LinkedIn profile is, first of all, the ability to keep in touch with colleagues from my previous jobs.

Also, I find some of the LinkedIn groups pretty good. Gone are the good old days of Usenet, unfortunately, and there are niche topics for which I can't find better forums than some LinkedIn groups.
What's confusing about what I wrote? I've had many conversations about that observation with the sample of the population known as my friends and acquaintances and they generally agree. There exists the possibility that there are samples of the population for which this anecdotal information does not apply. This observation only needs to be valid for some of the general population to support under-reported figures for this type of sexual coercion.

As it stands, your comment is unsubstantiated as to why my comment is why you don't like these kinds of issues on HN. Does my observation make you uncomfortable? Or do you disagree? Or do you consider it to be an overly broad generalization. I'm been on HN for a while and have earned most of my karma from comments (not hitting the front page), and based on past experience, my comment isn't really that out of line. The only thing I see I could have done differently is to put a disclaimer that its possibly that my observation is overly broad and based on many instances of anecdotal observations (n > 50 && n < 100)
In America, the number one thing you can do is stop eating factory farmed meat. That is a huge contributor to antibiotics resistance. Either eat mainly vegan or spend the few extra dollars to buy meat that isn't gross. Remember, it is MORE EXPENSIVE in the long run to buy that cheap meat. When you have a routine infection that can't be cured with antibiotics, the hospital bills will be far more then the few dollars you saved. Eat less meat. Oh, and you'll massively reduce your carbon footprint as well, and you'll use less land and water, and you'll be healthier (if you cut out red meat). It really is a no brainer.
I was confronted with this problem myself and decided to code up a jquery plugin that would let me add comments using firebase, so I wouldn't have to rely on a third party commenting system.

Technical Debt is a great metaphor, but it is just a metaphor. I've seen people try to quantify it and it just seems ridiculous. They try to take some measure of badness and then multiply it by the number of person hours it takes to correct it.

Much of what counts as badness in code never gets in the way until you have to understand or touch a particular area of code. The impact depends upon change cases.
Wouldn't it be possible for LinkedIn to infer that you might have a relationship with a person based on that person's relationships with other people LI knows that you know (or even overlap of companies, city/industry pairs, etc.)?

I'm shocked to learn that having a LinkedIn profile is a requirement for working at npm, Inc. (where seldo works).
It takes what would otherwise be rental units for SF residents off the market and instead provides them to tourists. So my opinion is that yeah, that hurts the residents of the city.

You could make the argument that increasing tourism, or increasing the available footprint of where tourists stay (ie not just downtown where all the hotels are) is beneficial. I would actually love to see legit bed and breakfasts open in many more parts of the city. As it is your hotel choices are basically limited to downtown and Fisherman's Wharf. But I don't think helping tourism in SF should come at the cost of making the city less affordable for residents.
From what I understand, app indexing is currently Android only, whereas app links was designed to be cross platform from the start.
Yes, bunch of alternatives:

- bacteriophages (viruses that kill bacteria)
- vitamin C for some bacteria, vitamin D, other supplements like MSM. Most must be used in megadoses for this effect.
- plant AB's (onion, black pepper, curcumin, the list is enormous and probably infinite)
The worst case scenario for global warming is that it's an extinction-level event and civilization ends. The worst case scenario for antibiotic resistance is that people live with the medical uncertainties our grandparents and great-grandparents lived with.

Assuming everyone understands that, it's an interesting case study in psychology as to why the second one might be scarier than the first one.
Ok, that's pretty awesome. Time to shove this into a Word macro (because, I have to use word :( )
The whole approach makes a lot of sense. Successful refactoring goes hand in hand with setting up a test environment. Code that is not covered by unit tests is legacy code. Without tests, you have to fear breaking things and fear is a bad starting point for development.

I backed Neovim and I really hope that it succeeds. I think the Vim codebase is criticized a little too harshly in general. It is a child of its time.

Whether Lua is the optimal choice as an extension language remains to be seen, yet it is a very pragmatic choice and over time we will see that the C core of vim will shrink dramatically.

I seriously hope that Bram Molenaar is not offended by the fork (and I think he is not). For the vim community having neovim as an independent development line will have its merrits until it is clear whether the fork can replace the proven editor.
Facebook to Let Users Limit Data Revealed by Log-Ins
I'm looking forward to this. I'm currently forced to deal with this strange world of promise based CSP-style development and I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it certainly is interesting. And I can certainly see the charm of such a solution, I can ignore that certain calls can block and everything stays responsive.

Note that this is coming from someone who's usually fudging around somewhere deep in a server stack and who usually works on high-performance systems with careful control about threads, hot loops, boundaries between threads and such. Responsiveness isn't my world, but maybe I can steal some ideas here :)
Exactly. But because of the difficulty, time and capital requirements, this is something that can't be left to the market economics. It will be too late by the time we need them because of the years it takes to develop a single new drug. This is a "going to the moon" type thing that needs to happen if we intend to survive. Because that's what's at stake.
Partly, it has to do with the role of the church pre-enlightenment. The modern secular university didn't exist in the 13th Century. The concept of a teaching body that granted degrees, certifications, and did research was barely off the ground with things like the University of Paris and the Thing Which Would Become Oxford University. The scientific method didn't exist as any formal process. If you wanted to spend your life thinking, you didn't have too many vocational options outside of the church.

As to his role as a "scientist, philosopher, mathematician, theologian", that's more a projection of modern concepts onto a historical figure. There wasn't nearly as much siloing of various intellectual pursuits. There were just secrets of Nature to be discovered, and people looking to discover them.
Maybe I'm not understanding the example, but is what you're suggesting (copy/paste) even possible in sublime? The github plugin above is the closest I've seen to sublime's version. It's not perfect, but works for most of the basic use cases.
