http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_syphilis

"The first well-recorded European outbreak of what is now known as syphilis occurred in 1495 among French troops besieging Naples, Italy.[3] From this centre, the disease swept across Europe. As Jared Diamond describes it, "[W]hen syphilis was first definitely recorded in Europe in 1495, its pustules often covered the body from the head to the knees, caused flesh to fall from people's faces, and led to death within a few months." The disease then was much more lethal than it is today. Diamond concludes,"[B]y 1546, the disease had evolved into the disease with the symptoms so well known to us today."

It doesn't take millions of years for diseases to adapt.
No, Spotify is not an exception to App Store rules.

There are hundreds of apps that allow you to use subscriptions made outside of the App Store. The rules for digital goods and digital subscriptions are:

* If you want the actual payment/checkout to happen ON the phone THROUGH the app, it MUST be an In-App Purchase (subject to 30% cut).
* Appendix: redirecting to a website for the payment is forbidden, because it would be a too easy workaround to the previous rule.
* If you want the app to just connect and use an existing subscription made elsewhere, go ahead, nothing is owed to Apple.

Dropbox for instance happily works with the subscription made on the website. A couple of years ago, they ALSO added a way to subscribe to their paid plan through the app, in which case the 30% cut is paid to Apple. I can see they doing it because probably they don't want to lose customers that feel like upgrading with a single tap is much easier than going to the website and inserting credit card details. As everybody in marketing knows, when you're potentially one tap away from buying something, the sole idea of having to go to the computer and taking the wallet is enough for a turndown for most people; impulsive buying is a strong force.

Moon Festival is not a lantern festival! Lantern Festival is not a harvest festival!

This is my take away from glancing at the box. The adjectives that come floating up in my brain after seeing it are 'dumb', and 'did not do the homework'.

Reading the article doesn't help, since he is aware of this and somehow just papers it away. (No, Ghost Festival is not Lantern Festival either, just like gifts do not make Halloween into Christmas Pt. 2, the Fattening).

Is this what UX designers are always like?
I agree asking for passwords is bad, but he'd probably have gotten cooperation from third parties much more quickly if he were following OAuth, OAuth2 or some other widely used standard. Forcing others to write bespoke code to handle a weird non-standard auth, however simple, is a major impediment to people using the Pinboard API.

Also, promising to break working integrations with the "ban hammer" seems like a poor reward to give users for alerting you to a problem. If a user values the integration more than the security of their bookmark list (as I'm guessing many people do, given the number of people using Pinboard via IFTTT), they won't be reporting that to you.
If you liked this blog, the @Pinboard Twitter is hilarious and occasionally offers some pretty poignant directed criticism through the snark, to boot.
Most Ebola patients never bleed profusely the way we imagine them to (though, as it happened, this particular woman was bleeding from the mouth). It apparently is actually very hard to distinguish from other tropical diseases in most cases. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/

In fact, that is why it took so long to identify and respond to the current outbreak.

>Here, then, still in January, long before the outbreak took off, a team of doctors stood at ground zero, staring at some of the first casualties. They had no idea what they were looking at.

> The way Ebola kills would seem impossible to mistake. What the casual observer knows of Ebola are its most spectacular cases, or the cinematic depictions of them: prodigious bleeding from eyes, ears, nose, anus, and nipples. Symptoms like these, presenting all at once, would be impossible to miss or misinterpret. But not every Ebola case ends with such a biblical scourge, and many of Ebola’s symptoms are identical to those brought on by other diseases. Until its final stages, Ebola can easily be mistaken for cholera. It can also look a lot like malaria, another long-tenured killer in Guinea.

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2014/10/ebola-virus-epide...

I don't know why it's so hard to believe that the woman's parents, in denial, said that she was merely suffering from serious complications from her pregnancy and he believed them. It's not as though he would have conducted a thorough exam. He just helped the family carry her a short distance.

And, I should add, the very fact that he did this is probably the best evidence there could be that he did not know she had ebola.
A few reasons.

1) Because malaria is 'over there' and ebola is threatening to come 'over here.'

2) Ebola has been hyper sensationalized, and is not as well understood as malaria.

3) Ebola has a very high mortality rate, with an almost coin-flip chance of surviving it.

4) The world has been dealing with malaria for a very long time. Ebola is new on the block. It seems any new virus tends to make waves these days, from SARS to West Nile.
In order to price something, you have to find a buyer who is willing to put up the money. Only the US government could pay billions for it, and, in fact, they already did -- back in the 60s. The price it could fetch now is utterly irrelevant -- it's one of a kind and has no replacement value, because it's irreplaceable. Luckily the government didn't throw it away.
For button labels, help texts, in-page instructions: use an i18n framework.

For longer texts, docs, etc: throw Wordpress (or some other CMS) in front of the damn thing. You can route whatever needs CMS functionality, say /docs, to WP, the rest to your app. If you want tight integration you can just pull the content from the WP database. If you want to get fancy, you can even install something like WP-API (https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API).
Well, Google's C++ Style Guide[1] disallows exceptions, so it makes sense that they wouldn't put exceptions in Go either.

Come to think of it, Go does seem pretty similar to the subset of C++ that Google allows their developers to use. If you think of it that way, it starts to make sense to think of Go as an intended replacement for C++ at Google.

No dating app is going to solve the problem that 80% of the men on the app are unappealing to 80% of the women. That's a fundamental social issue, and there's no magic fix for the 80% of men having trouble finding success on these apps.
No Docker is not fairly large. It's tiny. 1M - 10M LOC is the size of most of the codebases I've worked on.

Most people simply don't have an understanding of enterprise applications. The majority of the apps are single codebase, Servlet/Spring type monstrosities. They are 10+ years old and have had hundreds of contract developers who come in, add a few new features and then go onto the next contract.

And my point is that I am yet to see what Go would be like in these situations.

I posted this article some while ago, and I thought it may not be a bad idea to archive it on arXiv. What do you think? The (Latex) PDF version would look like this: http://sebastianraschka.com/PDFs/articles/naive_bayes_1.pdf
I just signed up on arXiv and see that the catch is that I'd need 2 recommendations for the categories Computer Science -> Learning or Statistics -> Machine Learning. Would anyone here who would want to give me a recommendation? I would really appreciate it!
My total layman's impression of this has been that it doesn't matter if the virus mutates to something "worse" -- that, short of some currently politically impossible action several orders of magnitude beyond what is currently being done, there is no really solid, non-magical-thinking, reason to believe this outbreak won't kill tens/hundreds of millions of people and threaten world civilization as we know it, even with the virus as it currently is.

The way the narrative has shifted in the past week has done a really good job of discrediting any routes to denial I'd previously had.

I would love to hear some credibly informed people disabuse me of this notion, in some way beyond calling my impressions those of an ignorant, panicky fool.
But fly-by-wire does not preclude the sticks being mechanically or electronically (force-feedback anyone?) linked together. This would seem to me a much better design choice which gives immediate tangible and visual feedback to the other pilot. Instead the whole system relies on the pilots to coordinate using communication and by reading the instruments, which happen on a much higher cognitive level than the tangible input IMO and are hence very hard to maintain under stress - as unfortunately illustrated by this tragedy.

Hence I'd say this is much more a design issue than it is pilot error, as both senior pilots were advising the right course but the interface design allowed the inexperienced pilot to silently override control. Yes, this junior pilot probably had too little training and reacted terribly; but what's the point of having multiple pilots if they apparently don't add any additional safety because coordination amongst them has to rely on non-technical means instead of being facilitated by intuitive interface design? Where's the iPhone revolution in planes?

> I wanted to run my own business (tech)

A key question to ask is why you want to run your own business? For the freedom? For the money? For the challenge? Which of these are you not getting at your position and how can you get it?

> What is it that I'm missing and would help?

Do you have a tech idea that you are passionate about? Can you survey 30 businesses that want it? Do you have enough savings to not have a client for several months?

Have you attended any startup weekends or incubator lectures?

> I do see how it could be viewed as promoting or exploiting the mythology of male culture the Valley to raise money, which to some may be anti-feminist in nature.

Is it a mythology if it is based on hard facts? I.e. this sounds a bit like saying that heat engine works on mythology of lower energy levels in a heat sink. Also note that just like heat engine equalizes energy levels between source and sink, such campaing seeks to equalize gender inbalance. Which I guess is as feminist as you can get.

I think it is actually beneficial for a person or an organization working toward women's right to disassociate themselves from the feminism movements and related labels lest they actually do end up spending all their time constantly justifying themselves.
Regardless, in this particular case it seems rather apparent that Duncan lied. If she was bleeding from the mouth and he was aware of it, in Liberia during an Ebola outbreak, then there at the very least he should have answered that "history of contact with ebola" question with a strong "maybe".

I am suspicious of the family being in denial, but I don't think that it is impossible. However for Duncan to also be in denial is far less probable.

It also should be noted that "I thought she had cholera/malaria" and "I thought she was having complications with her pregnancy" are two rather distinct claims. Had he said "I don't think that I had contact with ebola, but I did interact with somebody who seemed to have cholera recently..." then I would be far less critical.
I think it depends - would your friend message the prospects on okcupid/POF, or tell her client "here are some great profiles, you should message these people"? Those are very different; I suspect dating sites would have a problem with the former and not the latter.
After watching this this it baffles me that:

There is no (central) display indicating the current position of both control sticks.

There is no redundant system allowing the pilots to see their speed, even if the method used is inaccurate it would still be better than nothing (GPS, heated pitot tubes, ...) Same for the altimeter.

Flight recorders aren't designed to float and broadcast their position, or at least release a small beacon that would give rescue teams a general idea about where to search.
Personally, if I had to deal with COBOL, not only would I treat COBOL as a "target language", I'd write a decompiler to turn COBOL back into a sensible language and run it over the entire codebase.

Wasn't there strong circumstantial evidence that the Ebola Reston strain was spreading without any bodily contact? It was discovered in lab monkeys in Virgina and spread from room to room of monkeys without any direct contact between the monkeys. It's possible caretakers were spreading it, but it seemed more likely that the strain had gone airborne.
I am bouncing back and forth between the positions you describe. At the end of the day, though, if the "R-naught" is less than 2 in uncontrolled situations, and something like 1 in a hospital, it seems like it can be reduced to <1 pretty easily.

As I understand it, the most dangerous type of "worse" is ebola becoming less deadly.
the reference to dark data is interesting - I didn't know there was still so much data out there that hadn't been digitized! This kind of stuff would be great for a kickstarter campaign though..
I think it's not so strange -- digging through old data in archives is what historians do. If you compiled your findings into a book, you'd be writing bona fide history.

History is stupendously fascinating. What dawned on me in college is that history is much more than retelling stories that have already been told. By doing archival research, you're making it possible to tell entirely new stories, because only after events are over is the data available to to compile and synthesize what actually occurred in fine-grained detail. These stories can be unknown to the participants. It's tremendously important work.

In the sense that history attaches meaning to otherwise meaningless human events, history is nothing less than the search for meaning itself. Fascinating indeed.

This. And the reason that C++ compilation is so painfully slow is that unlike languages who saw C++'s problems and corrected them (Java, C#), a C++ compiler can not glean definitions from compiled code.

In Java, the compiler reads a Java file once, produces a class file and the class file contains all the information needed to compile other files that refer to its contents.

In C++, the compiler has to read all of source declarations that are used by a compilation unit, over and over again. An arbitrary cpp file can transitively include tens to hundreds of header files. Modern C++ compilers can play caching tricks, but the model is intrinsically O(n^2) compilation rather than O(n) compilation where n is the number of source files.

Of course is doesn’t always take millions of years, but it can take millions of years and it is not something you should expect will happen quickly. Even in the case of syphilis it still took 50 years. The evolution of syphilis (to a slower disease course) is exactly what we should be most worried about happening with Ebola as it will then be more effectively spread - just because syphilis is not as quickly lethal as it once was it is not something that you want to catch and leave untreated.

Very few articles about airborne mutation seem to bring up that ebola is an RNA-based virus, which means that it mutates at a faster rate and is less genetically stable than DNA-based viruses, bacteria, or most other pathogens. I wrote an explanation about the significance of RNA here: http://www.thinkhardly.com/think-hardly/ebola-for-entreprene...
I think you're missing the idea that women can just ignore all incoming messages, and get a much better response rate for outgoing messages than men do.

To introduce some actual evidence: No.

In California, there's a fairly straightforward process, assuming you go through the CA Labor Commission instead of a lawsuit. If the employer contests your claim in any way, it basically takes at bare minimum 6 weeks to complete, and often longer. A normal timeline, in a contested case, would be bare minimum 8 weeks until cash in hand. Longer timelines are typical.

> You'll surely be more efficient with handling data, but you don't have digital access to all the data you'd need.

It occurs to me that collating said data in an accessible format for a modest fee would be a pretty good low hanging fruit business idea. I'm sure there must be something like that out there but last time I looked into this, 2-3 years ago, I couldn't even get the NBA schedule in JSON or some other programming-friendly format, let alone things like injuries and lineup changes.
The recreational deliveries are not long for this world, unlicensed, untracked, breaking all the i502 rules. Just dealers with balls to freely advertise.
But isn't one huge issue here also that the way the airbus flight controls are designed it made it very hard for the experienced pilots to realize the wrong inputs the 'unskilled' pilot made and essentially allowed him to silently control the plane? This seems to heavily undermine the whole purpose of having senior people on board. And to rely solely on verbal communication to coordinate the input controls seems a very fragile concept to me.
I think the answer can be summarized: "human-to-human" transmission. Malaria, to be sure, has been a much more significant public health problem historically, but with ebola you have the possibility of human-to-human transmission and, thus, geometric growth. You also have the possibility that it will spread elsewhere in the world. And we're not just talking about the western world here either (though that surely drives more than its fair share of the panic). Imagine, for instance, ebola in Mumbai or Mexico City.

That's a developer POV. For users, Firefox is defined as the browser with that specific look and feel, that landing pages, those awesome plugins and marketplace, that tab sync, that password manager, etc.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a single non-developer who is even aware there is a difference in rendering engines (or javascript engines). The maximum they might know is that "this site is broken with that browser", but that won't relate to "rendering engine" in their mind.

So brining Firefox to iOS would give an awesome benefit for many users that love Firefox on the desktop, and encourage others for which the absence of Firefox on iOS is a nuisance or a blocker in its adoption.
