Antibody drugs are being made in bulk without too much difficulty. There are a number of RA-specific drugs on the market that are doing well, and at least one of them is grown in 6000-litre fermenters. Yeah, there might be problems getting this set up and approved, but the technology's been in place for a decade or two.

I've always bought cheap generic office chairs but recently picked up an Herman Miller Aeron. I am honestly surprised at how much of a difference it makes. I use the Aeron at home and have a generic $150 office chair at work and I am really hating it after getting the Aeron.

They are pretty expensive so you might check on Craigslist for a used version, that's what I did.

Also, you might try a standing desk. I've heard/read great things and will be getting one pretty soon.
The courts have already ruled in favor of the ACLU on requiring a process to get false positives off the no-fly list: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-no-fly-list-violates-rig...

Also, it's not clear that this list would be any smaller if there were less government surveillance. Presumably, the less the government knows about you the more paranoid they would be about letting you on an airplane, given you share a name with a known terrorist.

And, frankly, if the single most egregious collateral damage to result from a spy apparatus as large as the NSA/CIA/FBI is that some people have trouble getting on airplanes, that's really not that bad.
Well, internationalized usernames are "available" on weibo in the sense that your displayed "name" can be anything you want. But you don't log in with your displayed name; it's an arbitrary bit of account data, and is changeable whenever you want. You log in with an email address, which is how the system identifies you.

(checking now just to make sure, I see that weibo allows three options for logging in: an email address (not internationalized), an account number (not internationalized), and a phone number (not internationalized))
> I don't claim to understand anything until I can put it in my own words.

Are you implying that the previous poster does not understand the issue if they chose not to state it in their own words? If not, this sentence seems out of place.
I think bad parents would be addressed through Child Protective Services just as now. That's not really a matter of "welfare".

The first one is tough. How do you help people who basically don't want it, and how far do you go in trying? Stuff like food stamps is still easy to work around, by simply selling the goods for cash. Time to go back to "government cheese" for the hard cases? Or treat "you get enough money from the government to keep yourself fed, but you still can't keep yourself fed" as a mental illness?
I've come around to generally agree with the basic income guarantee. Both in premise of the problem and how it tackles the.

What I don't believe is that the problem is tenable in the United States. At least, I can't see it happening today. For starters there is a whole portion of the population that will see this as people free loading. This a sizable part of the population that believes all "hand-outs" are bad even if it ends up saving us money in the long run.

Second, the government being the largest employer (second largest I believe if we elude the military.) I have a hard time seeing this happen due to political pressure since a sizable number of jobs would be cut... since they are no longer needed to administer these complex programs. That's not a winning election proposition. Next, take into account local impact of places where government is close to the only employer. Look how much people fight to prevent military base closing in their district; doesn't matter where on the political/fiscal ideology they stand. Finally, there's the impact to the private sector which has cropped up to administer, provide or execute some of these programs.

In a perfect world states would be better able to deal some of the local welfare issues. That brings an interesting opportunity for the federal government to vastly simplify welfare programs in something along the lines of BIG (and it self in the process). And then leaving local issues to the states. Poverty can look very different in NYC compared to Tennessee. Other types of welfare issues only are a major concern in some states and not others. It's could be a very... American solution to the problem.

The downside is that some states can't be counted on doing the right thing (simple example: Civil Rights).

My own career or financial situation also has no relevance at all to this thread (but thank you for speculating anyway,(very classy)) or the OP.

I'm not taking any resentment out on anyone here, or justifying anything. I'm just pointing out that some people (myself included) would probably take issue with someone setting up a fundraiser so everyone can pay for them to take a year off and "pursue their passion". There's nothing stopping the OP from saving the money himself (even if it doesnt mean working) and just doing it.

I get that its completely voluntary to donate, so I'll just say I wont be donating and leave it at that, along with this discussion.
We discussed this over lunch. Ebola's one of the (fortunately) few diseases that have a quick, negative outcome. So, faced with "death in hours or days", risk management is altered. So, taking something that might not work (die quick), kill you (die quick) or give you more than hours or days to live seems like a good gamble. Or at least not a bad one.
Concurrent programming is hard because "concurrent programming" usually means "concurrent programming with mutable states and imperative control constructs". So concurrent programming is hard because imperative programming is already hard, and then multiple threads with unpredictable scheduling order are let loose on it.

Also, due to variation in scheduling order, concurrent program's bugs may be only sometimes reproducible, even when the input between the working and failed cases are identical. It's as if all concurrent programs have an implicit real-time input source that perturbs their behavior.

The bugs in concurrent programs are an entirely new class, like "race condition", "lost wakeup" and "deadlock". Even a great programmer who understands N levels of pointer dereferencing and "leaps complicated algorithms in a single bound", but has no concurrent experience, may well be defeated by concurrency bugs.

> Almost all email moves between only a handful of companies. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple

That's pretty naive. You need to step outside your comfy bubble.

Out of all the small businesses on the internet, how many of them are still running an email server under someone's desk?

And not to mention, what about all the client-side javascript out there that parses email addresses on web forms? Think about all those throw-away regexes to parse email forms on websites. I've seen a lot of them break just on these new TLDs - and they are ASCII!
Not true. I was bragging about negotiating the government down. Reason you (and others) jumped to that conclusion?
I recently signed up on twitch and started watching 1-2 hours of streams a day, usually whenever TotalBiscuit, Hafu, or Amaz are on in the evenings CST (which isn't terribly often). I also use Netflix exclusively as opposed to cable or satellite, and this is the unfortunate result:

I used to think I'd have to torrent to hit typical consumer data caps, but that's no longer the case. I didn't do any torrenting whatsoever in July, but I still used over 300GB.

Even if Verizon ever pull their head out of their rear in regards to peering, so long as data caps exist we'll still be artificially throttled in our internet usage.
Stack Overflow helped me with my problem
The first of your links has this absolutely wonderful bit on the very first comment: The "if you have nothing to hide..." line is predicated on the viewer having final say about whether something is right/wrong, thus subordinating the subject to the viewer. [direct link to full comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4105697]

That pretty much crystallises the core of the problem. It's never about what is right, wrong or proper - only what is approved to be more or less appropriate at the time. (A malleable thing in itself.)

Single payer healthcare systems lack two critical aspects of the basic income: freedom of choice, and customer feedback.

Freedom of choice allows consumers to select the services and packages which would most benefit them, and single payer healthcare does not allow this.

Customer feedback (through selection of providers of goods and services) is critical, as it allows bad firms to fail, and good ones to continue. The basic income does not interfere with this type of signal, but the single payer system completely destroys it.
I would say that's a vague description at best. "Numerous advantages" and "favored by many designers".

"Wouldn't it be easier to write my code if I didn't have to deal with time zones?"

All you have to do, of course, is persuade people to change their entire system of local time, which is what they use 99% of the time. How hard can it be?
Seems like you're looking at it solely from a web server/application back-end perspective. Async I/O and the corollary, freeing up threads, is useful in lots of other places like UI or applications that require very low latencies (We had a distributed process that had to respond to heart-beat requests from other machines amongst other I/O bound requests. Tying up threads when doing I/O would've been a death sentence).

Great, then you already have 90% of the job done then.

What are bug reports for?

>I'd be very interested in seeing what a team less apathetic that the ones that produced five serialization packages comes up with.

I don't know, but the 5 bugs I've submitted to Dart haven't been fixed yet, I submitted those almost 2 years ago all marked in the core as medium, so, you tell me, what conclusion should I make?
You make it sound so easy when it's clearly not. I've worked jobs where I was the only .net developer in a large enterprise and worked in a team where my teammate wasn't interested in growing.

It takes more than just gumsion to do what you're suggesting, what you're actually wanting to do is add more stress. Case in point, my coworker who wasn't interested in growing: I spent the better part of two months architecting out the service layers...only to have him f* it all up in a week. Refactor you say? Try refactoring code for someone elses work on top of your own.

He can try to outdo his coworkers to which he may easily become unpopular at work. Nothing adds more stress than pissing off coworkers and added more horridness to an already horrid team dynamics.

It's not easy to work in a crappy job. Your suggestions, in my opinion, sound more like wishful thinking.

I am not being a dick. That what I said is true is so obvious I am not going to bother digging up a bunch of stats to justify it. It is a waste of time.

This comment ended up doing the work for me, and demonstrates my point. But then based on the numbers somehow concludes that it demonstrates the opposite.

How many houses in the world have pencils in them? Pretty close to every single one, how someone concludes from the injury rate cited that they are more dangerous than these magnetic toys is beyond my understanding.

That comment goes so far as to note that over 40% of the incidents reported in the last 10 years occurred in 2013, how that does not make one think that maybe the recent prevalence of these powerful magnets could be related is also puzzling to me.

The spot you chose is also 70km outside of Oklahoma City.

West/N.West of OKC is very flat. The further you move east the more terrain you have including the Ouchita Mts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Oklahoma#mediaview...), the Arbuckle Mts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbuckle_Mountains#mediaviewer/...), and the Wichita Mountains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita_Mountains#mediaviewer/F...).

Now none of these hold a candle to the spectacular geography of Western Colorado, but they offer nice reprieve from the office for nature lovers. And plenty of lakes for those that prefer swimming, sailing, etc.

Unless your hypothetical medical advances include more energy and physical flexibility, I'm guessing you're either not anywhere close to sixty or don't have kids. My wife and I (who don't have kids) have discussed that we don't even want a puppy (in contrast to adopting an adult dog) when we're sixty, let alone a kid. Our last puppy was six years ago, and we've sworn off them since. :-)

You just copy-pased marketing spew. I think the author of original post wanted to know more about exact technologies/image processing at which OS X excels so much that it's worth deploying Mac Minis in such numbers.

I did enough work professionally with image/video/CV processing that I have a rough idea, but I'd still like to hear some non-marketing speak about why the company decided to invest in the huge hassle that is having rack-mounted Apple gear which misses all redundancy, connectivity and management equipment of standard rackmount servers.
That's not all exactly true.

They actually infected everything on that service provider, including Tormail. That was deliberate and part of an NSA op. They didn't hack the server, the hosting provider gave them root. Data seized is being secretly used in various Tormail operations (not covered by warrant), and in "parallel construction" in several drug-bust cases and one related to another leaker. I'm not saying this is a cover, but it is awfully convenient.

This is also what I used it for, watching Star Trek TNG streams while waiting for software to compile with General Grin and other custom comedy segments the channel operators made between eps.

The ancient aliens channel was also comedy gold, his hair gets bigger with every season.

I don't know your situation well, but the way you talk sounds like I used to. I spent too much of my career criticizing the people around me. Long story short, you get zero points for making other people look bad. It doesn't benefit your career, it doesn't make you feel good.

If there is an opportunity for your co-worker to be more effective, that's a great thing. You get to be the one to show him how. Just don't forget to do so with humility, because maybe there's a very good reason for doing it the way he does now. And if he's not interested in your advice, try not to take it personally.

It may be that you really are surrounded by idiots. Your co-workers are stupid, management is incompetent, they'd all be better off if they just listened to you, whatever. In this (unlikely) worst case, negativity still gets you nowhere. Acknowledge to yourself that you aren't satisfied with the situation, start looking for another job, and continue to show up every day doing your best and helping those around you. I've watched others take this approach and they're doing a lot better in their careers than I am, and they seem happier.

This was my first thought as well. I saw a Mercedes the other day with the "lane change assist."

Rather hilariously: I was behind the Mercedes at a right turn, and you could see the "danger" light in her mirror indicating that my little sedan was in the blindspot of her enormous GLK.

(Ironically the tech itself was a distraction _to me_ because I was trying to figure out where the sensor package was, and how sensitive the instrumentation was. I had never seen it that closely before -- perhaps I should go to a Mercedes dealership.)

I want that sort of tech on every glass surface of the car. Anywhere I can see a vehicle: I should be able to see "potential hazard information."
It mostly does. There are a few things that are in openSUSEs main repositories and not in those of Fedora, but in many cases the openSUSE packages were indeed in user repositories.

Fedora repositories were so bad for me that I ended up searching for Fedora packages on the openSUSE Build Service, and using those instead.

I am not speaking of the effect that corporations may have on the legislative process, but rather of the effect of local policing on the lives of local people.

My concern is that excessive surveillance leads inevitably to excessive perceptions of culpability.

One does not need to be formally found guilty for a run-in with the law to lead to "temporary" detention and legal bills; and if you can't afford the legal bills, maybe you might be forced into plea bargaining and end up with a criminal record. Even if this scenario does not happen, a genuine harm to one's reputation as a result of "helping the police with their enquiries" often occurs, especially if one is a middle class corporate employee.
Russia Drafts A Bill To Ban Bitcoin
"The receiver “listens” to determine the RF environment and uses algorithms to predict how the transmission will be altered by the environment and cancel it out from data received from the receiver. By doing so, the problem of self-interference goes away, and the receiver can “hear” the signal it is supposed to hear while the transmitter is active."

That's a little simplistic IMHO and akin to magic.

The 'RF environment' changes drastically as you move (depending in the propagation of your waves and reflections etc) and as other things operate so even with adaptive algorithms there is going go be a period of learning that will reduce this back to half duplex periodically. With the masses of noise and interference and harmonics around I'm not sure I believe the claims entirely. Maybe in ideal conditions it won't spend 100% of the time learning?

A link to a paper would be nice...
It just had a increasingly unprofessional/low quality image that in addition to the many pirated tv streams as other people have mentioned, attracted many teenage girls with low quality cameras and viewers asking them to 'show feet' and other demands. This quote from this fast company article sums it up pretty well:

"By last summer, its once-thriving community had dwindled to a ghost town populated by puppy cams, eccentrics--like the stoner who filmed himself taking bong hits--and a few lonely lifecasters. Mostly young women, they tend to sit, static, in front of a webcam, rambling about their interior lives to a tiny audience of leering commenters."

Java's JPA interface, of which Hibernate is an implementation, makes it pretty simple. Straight from the documentation of EclipseLink (another implementation):

// query for a primitive
Query query = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL");
Date result = (Date)query.getSingleResult();

// query for a pair of primitives (bletcherous, but not disastrous)
Query query = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT MAX(SALARY), MIN(SALARY) FROM EMPLOYEE");
List<Object[]> results = query.getResultList();
int max = results.get(0)[0];
int min = results.get(0)[1];

// query for a mapped object
Query query = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE", Employee.class);
List<Employee> result = query.getResultList();
Interesting that they have their own metrics now. Before they encouraged new relic.
