The title clearly says "A Teenagers View on Media". It's not a little disclaimer at the bottom of the page that says "This is only my view". It's right in the title and opening paragraph.
From the Nature article, the claim that resistance to teixobactin is hard is based on an attempt by the authors to induce resistance by culturing S. aureus or M. tuberculosis in the presence of sub-lethal concentrations of teixobactin for 27 days and seeing if resistant clones evolved. They did not observe any. That doesn't mean it's impossible, though. Plasmids for example are a source of resistance that doesn't require mutations.

Edit: deleted incorrect information about b-lactamase.
Good move! The other side of this is that people smoke for the (at least situationally) positive effects of the active chemicals. Nicotine is a stimulant that a lot of people use for the clarity, focus, and relaxation it can provide in the short term.

By using exercise as your replacement, you aren't just distracting yourself from the lack of a psychoactive drug but you're maintaining many of the positive results without the toxic delivery method.

In my situation it's less feasible for me to do much exercise (at least not enough to compensate) every time I feel the need to clear some brain fog and tension but I did switch to a nicotine delivery method that doesn't rely on inhaling burning tobacco and the health risks associated. In the process I dramatically lowered my usage but at the least I'm just getting the mild stimulant (similar to how many people use coffee) without the hazardous stuff that goes along with smoking as the delivery method.

Either way, congrats! Making the effort to change habits to remove unhealthy aspects seems pretty worthwhile from my experience with this.
It's 50/50 that I even have my friends email addresses. Facebook messaging covers 99% of the need.
And just because it's happened in the past does not guarantee that it will happen again. People have been predicting the downfall of Facebook for years, but it keeps growing.
A phone like the Nokia 215 is made for non-Western, non-first world audiences. With those audiences, WhatsApp is a bit deal. When it comes to US or other Western college campuses, maybe not so much.

I'm just saying, just because people with dumbphones or feature phones are clamoring for WhatsApp doesn't mean that people with smartphones care at all about the service.

This is a huge point I was hoping the article would address, but failed to. The war wasn't just a matter of location, it was a matter of stress (in a huge way) and a whole way of living (as a GI vs. civilian).

If you're an alcoholic and you move from one town to another, that other town is going to have bars and liquor stores just like the one you left. Your location may have changed, but there are so many things that are effectively the same, I can't see it having quite the same impact when compared to returning from 'nam.
When dealing with engineers it's very important to remember a few things:

Engineers are all basically high-functioning
autistics who have no idea how normal people
do stuff.
Cory Doctorow

A milder form of this is frequently called Asperger's syndrome.[1] Sorry for the extended quote, but its from the Harvard Medical School family health guide, so hopefully there is at least some scientific consensus behind it:

Despite normal and sometimes superior intelligence,
people with Asperger’s have difficulty understanding
social conventions and reading social cues. As a
result, they often seem tactless or rude, and making
friends can be hard for them. They may be unable to
take hints, keep secrets, or understand metaphor,
irony, and humor. The meaning of gestures, tone of
voice, and facial expressions are a mystery to them,
and their own body language and expressions may be
inappropriate or hard to interpret. They stand too
close, talk too loudly, and don’t make eye contact.

Having said all that, in my experience engineers are often very coachable and can be taught social skills. The quintessential stereotype for this character is the scientist Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.

Can anyone clarify the core causes of antibiotic resistance over the last several decades?

I've heard the following causes, but I cannot substantiate them:

[1] Improper patient usage. Primarily, not taking the prescribed dosage long enough to eradicate all of the target bacterium, leaving (enough) survivors to meaningfully propagate their resistance. Typical to the "Hey I think my sinus infection is gone already! Adios remaining pills."

[2] Improper targeting. A functional antibiotic used on the wrong type of bacterium, or even usage against viruses.

Are there any others? Are my [1] and [2] debunked?
Thank you all for your comments and support!
While I did not derive any financial gain from this little cartoon, I wouldn't mind paying a one-off to the artist. However, this looks like a scam, or a way to get me to admit guilt. So here's what I plan to do:
1. remove the image and add a static "removed by request of rights holder"
2. ask for a written copy of the rights to the specific image, including where it was posted, who drew it, who owns the rights, and how did this company arrive at the price
3. I still think this is some sort of a cam, as there's no individual identified, and the address is a corporate address in Seattle (which could just be a drop point).

Thanks all!!

Can this be used to run Docker images?
The only respect in which that appears to be true is that no major browser vendor has yet committed to supporting HTTP/2 other than over TLS-encrypted connections.

But given that that both some HTTP/2-supporting browssers and much of the server-side software supporting HTTP/2 is open source, and given that all the logic will be implemented and the only change will be allowing it on unencrypted TCP connection, it'll probably be fairly straightforward to anyone who cares much to put the proof of concept of the value of unencrypted HTTP/2 together.

OTOH, the main gain of HTTP/2 seems to be on secure connections, so I'm not sure why one would want unencrypted HTTP/2 over unencrypted HTTP/1.1, and given that no browser seems to have short-term plans to stop supporting HTTP/1.1, there's probably no real use case.

But the protocol supports unencrypted use just fine.
By that logic, if you're using an Oculus Rift, you're also using Facebook.

This shouldn't be down voted. It's a good point even though it's a tangent. There is abundant evidence that physical abuse is as harmful as sexual abuse.

Yes, freedom of speech is important and I suppose all readers feel sad about what happened, but what can we do about it?
Three uneducated, brainwashed guys decided to kill satirists that offended them by making fun of their prophet a few years ago.

The problem lies in poverty, lack of education, propaganda... it's not going to be solved overnight.
I just wonder who is leading this propaganda effort and trick those kids into murdering people. Is there an "evil brain" somewhere or is it some kind of "natural phenomenon" that feeds itself?

EDIT: not sure about the downvotes. Did I say something dumb? Living in France, my interpretation of the situation is that more and more teenagers or young adults are attracted to radical islam. This concerns usually people from the poorest neighbourhoods. Most of them aren't dangerous (even though it's quite shocking to read what they have to say on social networks). Atop of this, some get recruited by islamist organisation and are led to go to Syria for instance to fight there (A few hundreds according to the French government). Others are just lost people and commit terrorist attacks on their own behalf (like Merah http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Mohammed_Merah a couple of years ago).

So one hand, we know there are islamist groups recruiting people to commit terrorist attacks, but also there's very clearly an overall rise of radical islam in France that catalyse crazy behaviours.

It's certainly not a trivial thing to design, but the "GET https://..." proposal floating around solves a lot of the relatively benign cases (company/school smut-proxies etc.)

My point is that HTTP/2 didn't even try, because the political agenda for a lot of people were more or less "death to all client side proxies".

They're entitled to that opinion of course, but given that laws in various countries say the exact opposite, the only thing they achieve by not making space for it in the security model is that the security model will be broken.
> Really? What about the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, the 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt and the Boston Marathon bombings?

If three incidents in five years is a problem, the US has a problem with every community. Timothy McVeigh killed more than all of those attacks combined.
Most of the enhancements I'm aware of HTTP/2 are centered around SPDY.. along with persistent connections. The upconvert for SPDY and WebSocket connections are interesting on HTTP/1.0, I kind of wish that this had worked hand in hand with DNS to allow for DNSSEC publishing of public encryption keys for use with HTTP, then HTTP negotiating against that key.

I also wish there were layer between full encryption for content that is intended to be available for http and https (without the extra overhead) for signed content.

Facebook the product vs. Facebook the company.
> In this part Facebook shines- groups do not have the same complicated algorithms behind them that the Newsfeed does. It is very easy to just see the new information posted on the group without having to sift through tons of posts and advertising you don't really care about.

That part resonates with me, and I'm not young. I was an early Facebook user (2003-2004 when I was a college freshman) way before the news feed existed, and way before it starting "algorithmically" filtering and sorting. I've always hated it.
Probably does but falls under a threshold.
Controversial cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo
Yes change the subject. That's "leaving the post up"

If instead you immediately demand that everyone forget that you ever mentioned an uncool or not intensely popular thing, that seems more in line with "deleting the comment"

Indeed. I'd be interested, as I don't have time to put one together myself, and am an infrastructure engineer (and have no frontend experience).
Note: A lot of people don't like Fox News but they are one of only a few mainstream media outlets showing these cartoons right now. Apparently CNN had them online but just pulled them.

Antibiotic resistance does not necessarily have a strong fitness penalty - the spread of community-resistant MRSA is largely in environments where there isn't strong selective pressure against susceptible strains.

I was super confused what they were talking about, until I remembered that "penetration testing" really just means "penetration", not "testing", it's just a euphemism for "attacking". I think?

Revolutionary Scuba Mask Creates Breathable Oxygen Underwater on Its Own
Quite interesting how inconsistent the FAA is being about this relative to e.g. hot air balloons. At the moment the requirements for drones are significantly more strict than hot air balloons even if they pose less of a risk to the public.

Seems like a classic knee jerk reaction to media fearmongering. The fact they're called "drones" at all (when that term was previously reserved for larger and typically armed UAVs) doesn't help.
'Apprehend' is an interesting word.

"An assault takes place when the Defendant causes the victim to apprehend the use of immediate, unlawful physical violence upon them. In a common assault charge, no physical violence needs to follow the threat; just the fear experienced by the victim is inclusive of this charge. If physical violence does occur immediately after an assault, the Defendant will also be charged with a battery offence.

The Mens Rea (guilty mind) of a common assault is that the Defendant either intentionally or recklessly causes the victim to fear some degree of contact or violence. In the case R v. Ireland it was determined that a common assault can occur without verbal warning or action. Several silent phone calls made to the victim, which caused them to fear violence in the immediate future, constituted an assault offence."

What I'm trying to communicate here is the idea that even if someone where to take back their own laptop from a shop that was trying to sell it, there may be charges that could be brought if the shop wanted to push the situation and the police attending decided to act. The counter staff simply need to describe the owner's behaviour as threatening.

I do accept the point that a theft may not have been committed.
No. Beta-lactams inhibit cell wall synthesis by binding with penicillin binding proteins and preventing their function. Beta-lactamase is a resistance mechanism against this family of drugs.
I don't know anyone working in tech that uses facebook. That would be like being an obese fitness instructor, your actions and your knowledge would be at constant conflict. Only explanation would be that these people are either lying or insane (psycho-/sociopath).
Not to mention it's also easy to spoof your IP address if you are traversing out of a DC or node that does not do egress filtering (meaning you don't even have to proxy through the proper IP/country... you just make it up).

Shaky evidence? You bet ya. (and it seems this is the only evidence offered as an explanation so far)

Also, if N. Korea really was behind this "attack" of a private company with no US Gov't ties, why would they not claim responsibility and tout their "Cyber Attack" skills? They do for just about everything else (even failed missile launch attempts). Fear of retribution? No way, this is/was a private company... the US Gov't could not respond with any kinetic weaponry attack and look good on a geopolitical scale.

N. Korea also offered to send personnel to help the FBI in the attack investigation, which is extremely uncharacteristic of N. Korea to say the least... normally they'd just praise the attack flatout.

Yea, I think a better term would be application security assessment where one tests the application for security flaws. Penetration testing stems originally from network security where one actually tries to penetrate a network. It's not a great term for software, I agree.
It also forces the session to be tracked on the server. Many apps use cookies to keep the session in the browser. Maybe deprecating the document.cookie API so that people move to local storage, is a good first step?

More critique of cookies: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies
You don't have to make demands, people naturally forget little things said in conversations. Facebook remembers verbatim, in a searchable format. It even pushes your post into other people's "timelines" so you don't know who sees it or when. It's no wonder people get skittish, when Facebook gives them so little control over their content.
Remembering the later BBS days and their own GUI protocols for applications, I don't consider web applications really any worse... Realistically today, you can use WebSockets (or a safer abstraction, shoe/sock, socket.io, SignalR or otherwise) to act as an application channel, with static resources grabbed via HTTP(S).

In such a way, your application channel can maintain all the state it needs in that websocket... no cookies needed. The downside of the web today is the lack of a standard display interface/size... you have to work from a phone all the way to a 1080p or larger desktop or big screen display.

These abilities to use the web and enhance things is exactly why the web is as pervasive as it is... if it weren't for such open, broadspread ability we'd all be stuck with a natural monopoly (windows) everywhere.
Step 1: Define your customer segment. Who is hiveflux for? bootstrapped, startups, remote teams, specific industry? If you are not sure yet, look at who your competition is targeting. Niche it down. You can always expand horizontally later.

Step 2: Once you know your customer segment, change the copy on your website to drive the value proposition home for that specific segment.

Step 3: Find out where your target customers hang out. People from specific niche industries hang out at specific niche forums. Hang out at these forums and ask questions and contribute. If you are strapped for time, you could advertise directly on the forums - a lot of them allow you to open paid sales threads.

Step 4: Build a community from the early adopters you find from these forums and then get them to spread the word.
The historical evidence that technology cannot be stopped by lawmakers is very weak, if it even exists in the first place.

Very few lawmakers have really tried, and few technologies have been worth it in the first place.

The relevant question is probably if technology can be delayed by lawmaking and how long time.

There is no doubt however that policies can be changed, most places it just takes elections but a few places may need a revolution.
