A German here, I probably read Spiegel for >10 years (from ~2000 to beginning of 2014):

They are kind of "left" which reflects in their articles "raises a second narrative about inequality". They'd support basic income any time.

The Spiegel has turned into yellow press lately, I am surprised to see a (english) article on HN.

Thank you HN for unveiling that there are some spots in Europe that are doing fine and that there are structural problems (I can see them, the borders are open and ppl come to Germany from other European countries).

Prop M doesn't impact the stuff I'm talking about, which is (nominally) residential construction being used exclusively for business use.

The prevalence of this kind of "live/work" space in SOMA is an artifact of the "building up" that happened the last time there was a technology bubble. We can see how well that worked out: a lot of people were evicted from older construction, only to have it replaced with more expensive new construction that is mostly being used for business purposes, because no actual human beings can afford it.
The current specification of priorities in HTTP/2 seems problematic (and apparently was agreed upon by coin toss): http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2014OctDec/...
Never thought about this, but the listening part is actually quite nice addition. For example my fridge and freezer both use "beeps" to signal something is wrong. My stove, oven and dish washer are also using beeps (but a little bit different) to tell the food is ready or dishes are done. My Neato uses beeps to signal it is in trouble. My washing machine does not beep, but it makes a specific sound when it is ready and the lock on the door is released. If the bed room windows are left open, the sounds of traffic are more loud than usual. Also all my doors make a specific sound when they are opened.

Now when I think about the "beeps" would be actually quite neat and simple way to integrate various home appliances to this kind of monitoring system. Not as cool or comprehensive as bluetooth or zigbee, but simple to add. Intelligent listening could probably reveal all kinds of interesting stuff without the need to adding new sensors here and there.
Japan has stagnated because its working age population is in decline. Apart from the demographics, Japan's doing great.
I got to choose which text editor we implemented in a large project a while ago and we ended with Quill, because of its easy customisation and contained feature set. The latter was a bonus for us, as we had to do much less checking for users adding breaking code to the page.

I do not envy rich text editor authors one bit. Even implementing them has an unreasonable amount of gotcha's when you dive into getting your page and the iframe/editor to communicate effectively.
A bigger problem, IMHO, is how do you define Altruism? Is bill gates more altruist because he gave up a million dollar? Or someone else who speds large amount of time outside job with NGOs working for poor people?
The title is misleading. Looking at the About Us section it appears that only the CEO/Founder worked at Apple.

It's nice to see a new entrant into the industry none the less though. Interesting idea to use audio detection but I'm a little surprised it didn't include a PIR sensor for motion as well. Would be curious if there's an eventual platform play here.
Reminds me to this implementation on js: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/03/list-out-of-lambda/

> Logitech M185 wireless mouse for £8

Anyone got any tips for a great non-wireless USB mouse in this price-range?

I dislike when wireless mice (or keyboards) tend to run out of battery when it's really inconvenient, as I hardly ever have spare batteries lying around (not much other devices use them).

Is the source code available for the web interface (to manage custom domains)?
Food in the US is getting better. There's tons of stuff you can find in my hometown of Eugene, Oregon that you could not find at whatever price 20 years ago.

This book looks at a lot of the reasons behind the decline and rise of food in the US: http://www.amazon.com/An-Economist-Gets-Lunch-Everyday/dp/B0...
>More than 3.3 million people who would have died of malaria are alive today.

This does make him sound like a saint, but is number of lives saved really a good metric? I mean, what's the quality of life like for these three million people, what's their life expectancy?

I know this makes me sound like a horrible person but I think keeping extremely poor people barely alive looks good as a statistic and there's more worthy causes to spend our efforts on in those areas where malaria is prevalent.
I disagree. I think the high-end Macbook Pro is one of the best gaming laptops out there. The Nvidia chip is almost half as powerful as the AMD 6850 I used to have in my desktop, which has a giant turbine fan and takes up two PCI slots! Sure, performance in OSX is often poor, but BootCamp and often Parallels solve this problem quite elegantly. It's not too different from booting up a console, I think. Thanks to my Mac, I can travel the world and also play Metro Last Light whenever I feel like. :)

(Caveat: it's almost been a year so it's starting to show its age in some new games. But that's not really something you can get away from. I'm also concerned that the next gen Macbook will only offer an integrated Iris Pro chip instead of Nvidia switching. Don't get me wrong - Iris Pro graphics are impressive, often performing at up to 66% of the Nvidia chip - but it will almost certainly be a performance regression.)
It's much easier to destroy than to create.

"The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. [...] Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them."

You can't really be improving living conditions of people who are dead can you. So it's a first step.

Taming Nanomite-protected MIPS Binary with Symbolic Execution: No Such Crackme
Rothberg is something of a character.

His two DNA sequencing companies (454 and Ion torrent) have both had what I would consider successful exits (solid to Roche and Life technologies respectively). But more importantly both products made their way into the hands of consumers (which is actually rare for DNA sequencing startups). However after acquisition both products failed to gain significant traction (Roche has just shelved 454).

He also engages in a certain amount of showmanship [1], which has as gained him some ridicule. I think he has to be respected to successfully executing in a market where most startups fizzle out though.

I hope this pans out though, it sounds awesome. I really hope this (and other research/medical device) technology makes its way into the hands of normal consumers (not just research labs/medical institutes).

[1] Oh and he has a scale model of Stonehenge in his back yard. http://clonehenge.com/2009/01/17/circle-of-life-connecticuts...
It isn't a zero sum game at all. China, India and Brazil have contributed to the global middle classes growing from 1.8 billion people in 2009 to an estimated 3.2 billion in 2020.

That the USA has failed to adopt sufficiently sensible policies to deal with these changes is not the fault of capitalism per se, and indeed in the case of things like a shockingly unequal education system is often driven by left wing people who dislike capitalism.
When central banks like Japan's or US print money it is called "Capitalism" or it is called "central planning"?

When in places like Spain they create a bubble in real state but then try to support the prices by any means, including the creation of "bad banks" so prices don't sink it is called Capitalism or central planning?

When States do not control what they spend and the increase the debt by 10x it is called Capitalism or central planning?

This is not capitalism, but capital-comunism: Capitalism when prices go up on the riches, private profit, communism or public sharing of the losses.

When I lived in Japan and prices went down, it was very good for the people living there, but in the international news it was a catastrophe, because the markets could not make money in the stocks.

People(family and friends) always told me: Are you ok? like I had gone to the war or something, because of what they heard on the news.
Skype Co-Founder: You Don’t Have to Go to Silicon Valley
I have done extensive research in this area as well - my code is used in production by 100,000 users, by another company. I personally always choose to go with direct contentEditable without an iframe. It makes things much easier.

However, what the author did not mention was security. My assumption as to why the company that uses my code, still uses it inside an iframe, is to prevent accidental XSS injection from when their user's copy and paste content (sometimes with javascript embedded in it) into the editor. So be careful about that.

Another recommendation I have, is to NOT use execCommand.
Hong Kong and Singapore are the two freest economies. They have very minimal welfare states, with relatively light regulation and taxation. Their wealth creation and economic growth have been astounding over the last ten years.

Hong Kong and Singapore had an astounding growth of 2.9% and 3.9%, while socialist China had a miserable 7.7%? I don't get the impression you looked at the numbers at all, or did you?
