Every government picks a side in the class struggle. Saudi America and the USA pick the rich to various degrees. Denmark chooses the lower middle class. Comparing the two it seems like choosing the rich causes far more atrocities their just less visible.

Unemployed to long, well sorry we no longer count you. Had your stuff stolen at a homeless shelter well sorry we don't count you. Got picked up for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, well feel free to tell that to the jury. Spending a year in prison awaiting trial, sorry your right to a speedy trial ends well before your actual trial. Prison rape? Sorry just another deterrent. Great you got out after a mere 10 years, best of luck finding a job!

PS: Atrocity's are on an absolute scale. Just because country your not as evil as the Khmer Rouge does not make everything ok.

Thanks sergiotapia. It is good.
Mine was, but the password there is more than 4 years old, I have changed it several times since then. Makes me think that this leak is just a collection of old leaks out together.
Firefox Add-on Enables Web Development Across Browsers and Devices
From TechCrunch:

"When you are building Web apps — and especially when you are debugging them — all the subtle differences between the different browsers start coming into play. Testing on every single browser is a hassle and there are no good tools available that help you easily automate these tests, partly because the different browsers’ developer tools can’t talk to each other. Mozilla, however, has now built an adapter that allows it to connect the Firefox developer tools with Chrome and iOS to help developers test their web apps there right from Firefox."
I'm sorry you're wrong, different screen-sizes (and resolutions) are NOT market fragmentation. It's not hard to handle them and we've been writing phone and tablet apps for years now, so that's a solved problem.

API/Platform fragmentation is the big problem. Supporting multiple APIs and gracefully degrading to older versions is much harder than being able to scale your UI. Apple has been pretty good with keeping customers devices as current as possible. Android, not so much.

>Many devs will ignore the DPI differences between the iPad and the iPad mini

That's because iOS-only developers were spoiled and got lazy. If your app breaks because now it has to work with a slightly different aspect ratio, or doesn't take advantage of a higer DPI screen, that's your failing.

It makes more economic sense to cure HepC than to treat it so I would argue they made the right choice.

The american insurance companies were screaming murder because they have no way of recovering their upfront cost with people changing insurance companies all the time in the US that's not a issue for the UK and the EU.
Can you imagine how difficult that would be to justify in a bank or government service? It would be very hard to convince someone in a position of power at an institution like that that deliberately introducing random failures and problems into your production services would be a good idea. Even if it is a good idea, it would be hard to make that argument.

If Netflix's system fails, the worst thing that could happen is you don't get to watch Orange is the New Black. If your bank's system fails, you may lose payments, fail to pay your bills on time, or worse.
We do socialize all of those, to lesser or greater extents.
Cool! I live in a rural area, and I found my dot!
FYI > I checked all my accounts and one was leaked. HOWEVER, it was the password I used when I first setup the account in 2004, and has been changed many times since.
To be fair, Solvaldi actually is cost effective from the perspective that chronic hep C results in liver transplants or death, and a course of Solvaldi knocks out hep C entirely. It was also developed in house by Gilead AFAIK (and they bore the risk of r&d, trials, etc).

edit: thanks for the correction refurb! I has actually looked at sofosbuvir on wikipedia prior to looking because I thought it was through an acquired company. I think it's still a different nature of acquisition & development vs Valeant or the putrid behavior described in this thread's link.
Snarky use of 'Eh', eh?
Only if you count the 17% who are hispanic as white, otherwise it's 62%. But Hispanic white people will probably stop being viewed as a separate racial groups before that long, as happened with the Irish.
Caching it on the device is enough for me. I'm fine with knowing that I don't really own my music, as long as I can still listen to it while I'm on the subway without cell signal.

> In other words there is less and less differentiation between a samsung and htc and lg handset as the pace of innovation slows in hardware. They cannot differentiate on software this they are left primarily with price. This will only exacerbate in the future.

Definitely, and that's a rough place to be in for hardware manufacturers. Dell and HP and Compaq and Acer have shown what lies down that road. Hopefully they'll find some other area to differentiate their products.
Says my account was hacked, but then gives me the incorrect two letters for the start of my password. Seems bunk.

Also, why wouldn't you give your email address to a random website? I have it plastered all over the net. Spam is a solved problem at this point. Ironically thanks to Gmail!

Agree on 2 factor auth though.
Not sure. It said my email was in the leak but the "First two symbols of password is: " is from one of my old passwords I don't use any more, don't know when I changed it away from that old password.

If you're more concerned about spam it's your gmail address which is probably already getting loads of spam you don't notice because gmail's filters are excellent.
It's a worthwhile lesson (check the background of your chosen name - it may have been a porn site), but I think the blog posting is a little too casual and lightweight.

If you want to go into more detail on what steps you took (beyond the Google Removal Tool) to clean up that background, great, that could be a worthwhile HN post.
But if the fungus has already ravaged plantations in Malaysia, why are there still so incredibly many different varieties of banana available there?

I was in Indonesia recently, and the markets there had tons of different banana varieties. And they all had a lot more taste than the Cavendish. Export those to us!
Yeah I mean, they're still of European descent, why not call them white? I know, race is fuzzy.

Edit: For the US Census, Hispanic people are of "Spanish culture or origin regardless of race."
Dear mankind:

I don't want a smartwatch to be the complement of a smartphone.

I want a smartphone to be the a complement of a smartwatch... actually, a smartphone sans the phone, like an ipod touch or a tablet.

My idea for a smartwatch is to have the modules that make a smartphone possible there: cellular antenna, gps, bluetooth, fitness tracking, etc. Baterry-unfriendly modules like Wi-Fi must be discarded.

The use case for a smartwatch as a standalone device would be the following one:

- Connect a Bluetooth headset to listen to music (extra points, if a micro sd slot is included)

- Receive messages and answer to them with predefined text (ex. I'm on my watch, I'll text you later)

- Receive calls and call to existing contacts/emergency numbers, a proper dialer is not required at all

- Basic GPS directions to predefined locations (ex. Home/Work/Gym/School)

- Fitness tracking

- Wireless charging

For the rest of features, and to enjoy a proper dialer, proper texting, proper navigation, etc., just connect the ipod/tablet/whatever to it via bluetooth.

The killer feature: Having to carry no smartphone at all.

You can use the multimedia system of the car to take advantage of the watch, the steering wheel could have a wireless charging module next to it.

Another accessory could be a desktop keyboard with a wireless charging module.

And at home, you could have a proper charging dock.
I totally agree that it helps with callback hell / reasoning, but I think your argument was more about coordination. Hence the sliding buffer example - something that would be very, very hard to /coordinate/ with callbacks.
So much for 'the melting pot'... This society still has a long way to go.
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, is 62.6%. "White" and "Hispanic" are overlapping categories for census purposes.
Windows 9 leaks shows the desktop rules again
Its funny because my iPhone still doesn't support the same level of interconnectedness as sailing clicker did back in the feature phone days. I remember thinking it was so cool that my music would just pause on my mac if someone called me on my phone, or come back on when I walked back into my room.

Apple's ecosystem seems to be increasingly based on obsolete ideas. Spotify offers me more magic than any weird hard-to-explain more expensive iTunes Matchery. My music is available everywhere. Actually everywhere. Not everywhere asterisk if its an apple product. If I'm at a friends house and I want him to listen to a cool song I heard, but my phone is out of battery, I can go to his computer and still play it, even if he doesn't have spotify because they have a web player. That's actual magic.

Imagine if you could only watch youtube clips if you had a Google device or software. Its madness and far from an argument for "interconnectedness", and yet this is the situation the Apple music ecosystem is in.

The handover technology is another recent disappointment in this regard. We are still stuck in app-land. Handover is app-to-app. So when I'm listening to a podcast in Safari, I won't be able to handover to Overcast on my phone. I actually have to wait for marco arment to write a desktop podcast player, and worse, I have to use it, to get this basic functionality. Again, an aggressive misunderstanding of what it means to have true continuity: reading the same data on two devices, not using the same app on both.

Anyways, all this to say: I would have agreed with you ~4 years ago. But due to Apple's business interests (wanting to continue the own-music model much longer than people did, wanting to push app sales, etc), their ecosystem no longer represents what I want anymore, which is really unfortunate because I know that if they put their effort behind implementing real continuity, they'd do it best.
Autonomous cars will only really see true potential when they don't need a driver at all... or one in the car. Think one driver, jumping in on 5 or 10 UPS delivery vehicles as they park and launch delivery drones locally, or 20 Google maps vehicles with one remote driver jumping in at roundabouts. While 3 city buses with capacity for 5 or 10 more people each since there's no physical cockpit is promising or not having to pay attention, the true potential is all the things you don't need people for.

The true potential in Autonomous vehicle removes the cost of having people involved with delivery, exploration, etc.

Once the tech is there, you can remove the excess weight and volume of seating, safety mechanisms (mirrors, belts, roll bars, airbags...).

Removing human ergonomics will also allow for more efficient designs per purpose.
Really nice.

How to get your idea stolen
> "Beginning of the (20th) century there were 2,000 apple varieties, today you can find at the grocery store only max. 20 varieties."

Not that I disagree with the point, but I take issue with statements like this one, which can be true yet completely misleading.

How many varieties were available in grocery stores in the beginning of the 20th century? How many apple varieties exist now?

I suppose you're comparing apples to apples, but not in the way that that phrase is supposed to mean :)
Sovaldi was acquired by Gilead when they purchased Pharmasset for ~$11B.

As for Sovaldi's cost effectiveness, it's more complicated that looking at liver transplants. Of the millions who have HCV, only a few percent will ever need a liver transplant.

That being said, if you look at what it costs to cure a patient of HCV, Gilead's drug is much more efficacious, so the "cost per cure" is much lower than with older drugs.
You're ranting against free market capitalism when the problem in the article is the result of government interference in the free market.

Retrophin is using legal (government made the laws) maneuvering to prevent competitors from creating generic equivalents of the drug.

So we should throw out all of the benefits of free market capitalism: increased innovation, competition, efficiency, etc. because of cases like this that are usually caused by something distinctly apart from free market capitalism? If anything, this is an example of misguided government regulation.
I regret having only one upvote for you.
I think a lot more emails leaked due to people putting their full email to check than during the leak, although the service says people can use a search pattern, but who'd bother, right? People, it's inconvenient, I know, I know, but, please, start using 2FA! At last! I thought a lot of people who are not technical, Authy is a better tool, so, please, spread the awareness, and let's put this nonsense to an end!
LastPass also does this for any accounts you track with them.
Ask HN: Is it a good idea to sell my startup?
I have been running my startup for a while, no seed funding and still was able get around ~$500 (ish) monthly profits.

Yet I was thinking that if I could sell it I would have more money to start something new plus to help me with my college.

I would like an advice from someone with more experience, should I sell my startup and attempt to create something else or focus more on my product?

The Challenges and Threats of Automated Lip Reading
Same. Super old password.
Interesting.

I tested with my gmail-account and it was reported as pwned.

Then I tested the gmail-account again with this service which also shows the two first characters of the leaked password.

https://isleaked.com/en

Turns out that the leaked "gmail" password was my old password used for unimportant websites and this was never used with the gmail-account itself. So apparently one of those unimportant websites was hacked and the email/password was then grabbed. No way to tell which site that was since haveibeenhacked.com does not include that information, but instead makes it appear that the actual gmail password is/was compromised.
maybe because you can't easily type that into a calculator like the one in Spotlight or google.com?

I find the fully-zoomed in view to be the most fascinating. To be able to see the administrative lines appear, like the diamond of DC, even though it's one gigantic metropolis almost all the way up to Baltimore. And definitely confirms what I already knew about Philadelphia: extremely segregated.
I'm always slightly offended when my email address isn't in these things.
So it's a semantics argument about the difference between "purchased" and "own".

I guess they could have implemented a whole new category of item in their service (owned, but not purchased) or they could just set the effective price to 0.00, or they could add it to everyone's purchased list.

Net result is basically the same, except that they made a big deal about the whole "getting it in 5 seconds" thing as part of the keynote. I imagine it might have been a bit (more) underwhelming if the "one more thing" announcement was that they were making an album available for free for a bit when their wider point was supposed to be simultaneously demonstrating their delivery capability, reach, and - appreciated or not - largesse.
The situation you're describing is one where the other people around you care what you're doing. In the vast majority of situations that isn't the case. The guy sitting next to me at work does not want to hear about me planning to see a movie later on tonight.
There are a few websites like this with varying reliability (either haven't been updated recently or have inferred the worst-case-scenario from hacks). This is the first time I've seen this one. You could also check out these:

https://haveibeenpwned.com/
https://breachalarm.com/
https://pwnedlist.com/query

Though I doubt they will include the most recent hack.
I would be VERY VERY suspicious about this. Who are the people behind isleaked.com? I would read this post before first:

Oxford journal isn't your daytime television show.

For a med STUDENT you show quite a lot arrogance. You also misunderstand how studies works (All clinically treated hypertensive patients were excluded for a reason. Guess which?)

Can't believe you were upvoted since most of what you wrote is just self-serving and has absolutely no links with the study. (I read the original study too)
American insurance companies were screaming blood murder not because they can't recoup the upfront costs (all insurance companies benefit if HCV is eliminated), but because the cost were all upfront, not spread out over time.

US insurance companies live and die by their yearly budgets since premiums are collected upfront. If some high cost drug comes along that they didn't plan for, they could end up in the red really quick.
It's funny that HN itself does not use 2FA via YCominator's Authy, let's say. So pathetic!
This doesn't seem to work with Google Apps emails. Were thy not at all apart of the leak?
this is exactly what has happened, someone pulled together a load of data from hacks and leaks and made one file. the data in general appears to be years out of date, of course some people may still have the same password and may have reused credentials for other sites.
> what should I expect?

Understand that your startup leadership may be young themselves (under 35) and frankly still learning some basics about growing a business and dealing with people. Recommend reading For Your Improvement, a solid reference book on business competencies to put you ahead of the curve, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/847538.FYI

Beyond the compensation package-- consider the experience you'll earn and industry contacts you'll make. And importantly, how you might be able to leverage those in the future. Ultimately, you drive your career development.

A point of strategy on salary negotiation, check your local benchmark salaries via Indeed.com as a basis. Entry-level developers in DFW are getting $64K. Also, highly recommend interviewing with 2-3 other companies for a more direct comparison on current opportunities. You may turn-up something else that's a better match.
For the First Time, Scientists Detect Water Ice Clouds Outside the Solar System
On vacation in Indonesia I tasted lots of different varieties of very small bananas. They all had a lot more taste than the Cavendish. I wouldn't mind seeing those in European supermarkets, although they do indeed not look as nice as the Cavendish. For some reason we seem to select food by appearance instead of taste. (This is also why the standard Dutch tomato is beautifully red and tastes like water.)
Says my account was hacked, but then gives me the incorrect two letters for the start of my password

Out of interest - are those two letters the start of a password from any other site?

Presumably the leak came from a third party site so it would be your password from there rather than your gmail password.

I'm assuming not, but does anyone know if the wifi/gsm/baseband code is open source? What benefit would having the GPS/SOC hardware data sheets provide if the firmware code is closed?
> Yeah, that sounds exactly like the hedging that I've heard, "no true Marxism".

There are lots of things that draw on some parts of Marxism, but, in fact, there's no pure Marxism that's been implemented (not that I think there should be such a thing, either, but there hasn't, in fact.) The main Marxist-influenced things that have been influenced are:

1) Systems deriving, through Leninism, from the both Marxism and what's often called "Russian Marxism" (which, while influenced by actual Marxism, didn't so much follow it as arise roughly contemporaneously and interact with Marxism), which reject Marx's preconditions in favor of vanguardism and are implemented in societies which don't meet Marx's preconditions -- that is, Soviet Communism and its Maoist, etc., descendants

2) Systems which build from Marx's preconditions in societies which meet them, and apply large portions of the program Marx and Engels lay out in the Communist Manifesto (but omit other key portions of it), which -- because they are implemented in democratic societies where there is no absolute conformity among the decision-making parties -- are full of compromises, lack a strong coherent ideological commitment either in terms of goals or mechanisms (even if part of the society is explicitly Marxist), and which retain the broad outline of the capitalism (though the resulting system is very different from the thing 19th Century socialists branded "capitalism" because of the elements of socialism, including elements specifically drawn from Marxism, implemented) -- that is, the mixed economies of the modern West.

Neither of these is purely Marxist. The former pays more lip service to Marxism. The latter likes to call the former "Marxism" and distinguish itself as the opposition to Marxism, but actually more closely follows Marx's model than the former.

> Marx believed in class struggle and had a favored side in that struggle. That's quite enough.

That's a rather cartoonish description which has no utility beyond "rah! rah!" cheerleading for the not-Marxist team in a dualistic worldview that, like the more extreme interpretations of Marxism (as seen in "Marxist criticism", and very much akin to extreme "feminist criticism") sees all the world divided between two warring camps but, instead of social class, views them as polar Marxist and not-Marxist ideologies.
The passwords didn't come from google.

It was someplace you used your email with that password. It had a couple of my emails all with the same throwaway password I only use on sites that I either don't trust or have no intention of ever using again.

If you search around the full leak is very easy to find
I'm confused... if I type in San Fran to Los Ang I get $608 for Lyft and over $1K for the other two.

Why is Lyft so low (like half if not more) competition makes sense, but ~400 mile trip should be more then $600.
If you're talking about NYC or San Francisco or the like, the "cool places" are ones where higher-income white people are pushing out the lower-income minorities that used to live in those neighborhoods. The mixture is temporary.
I use voice to set alarms ("set an alarm for 5:30") and to open up Pandora when I'm driving. Both work great. Texting is a little more hit-or-miss but it's normally pretty accurate. I try not to text and drive anyway, even if it's done by voice.
