All I can say is that I've read, I believe, every dnsext and namedroppers post and the archives of the old mailing lists from the 1990s, when DNSSEC was a government funded project of my then employer, for whom I was busy writing DNS security testing tools, and I believe you're wrong: DANE is the motivating use case for DNSSEC.

It's a pretty weird rhetorical spot to put yourself in, by the way. Without DANE as a motivation for deployment, there is no reason to deploy DNSSEC. DNSSEC can't provide end-to-end security, and TLS and SSH already authenticate themselves without DNSSEC.

I don't know what your second paragraph means. You can see what I'm referring to empirically by playing with DNSviz. Like I said: go find the largest DNSSEC site that uses ECC records. Then, for fun, and not counting the TLDs themselves (sigh), the largest that use RSA-1024.
Me too. Kinda annoying I paid 1500 to be a beta tester for a product that never properly launched. Explorer ... yeah.
I'm assuming we cant just throw the "excess" population into a volcano or something

Something similar was tried not so long ago and I doubt it will be the last attempt. I can think of quite a lot of people that will cheerfully sacrifice a mass of people on the altar of their basic ideology, and won't regard themselves as morally deficient for doing so.
In case anyone's wondering, this is an inside reference from the Hackathon Hackers facebook group.(https://www.facebook.com/groups/hhcirclejerk/permalink/17054...)
googlenet already has 5.5%, they published it at a bay area meetup, but did not officially publish the numbers yet!
Do you mean:

C.) That the possibility of the firm going out of business puts pressure on decision makers to be more careful

D.) That the firms who make bad bets (or get unlucky) may stop participating, in which case the VC industry becomes better "on average"

Or a combination of the two (or is it something else)?

C to me seems to be a generic rephrasing of A and B. D isn't all that simple since one has to make some nontrivial assumptions data hasn't really borne out (acknowledging here that data hasn't conclusively borne anything out): e.g. that investment is neither primarily chance or primarily networking effects, that predictive quality of firms is mostly invariant across changing technology, that turnover internal to firms moves slower than turnover in the market, that the damage done to the market by lost capital investment is outdone by better average performance, that firms moving in to replace losers don't 'undo' gains to average, and that there even exist (and that the market can support) enough potential big-payout startups to benefit more than a few lucky VC firms to begin with.

Certainly the point is taken that in cases where both harder work matters and where leverage exists (be it slavery, authoritarianism, competition, financial pressure, legal pressure, etc) to get people to work harder, better results are likely to be had. There is a question both to what degree harder work matters in capital investment and also to what degree leverage that exists in private top-down firms does not and can not exist in public top-down firms.

One can consider the internet itself as a product of public investment (where there was competition among researchers AND private firms for capital to develop and research packet switching) among countless other examples; namely public investment isn't devoid of its own very large successes.

In the discussion is also the subject of 'efficiency' for which reasonable arguments to include 'social income' exist. Counter to this in the public space there are dangers of conflicts of interest and cronyism (these exist, but less problematically, in private sectors).
Yes, that works in the Central Valley, where it is already relatively easy to build HSR. It doesn't in urba areas. The constraint on the profile of the infrastructure, both horizontal and vertical, in a function of the speed. In the end what you need in an infrastructure with the right profile, and that is where the bulk of the cost is, not in the system that runs on it.

I'm ready to be convinced that the Hyperloop system is cheaper than HSR, but the problem is building the right of way. Viaduct is not a magical answer, we could have a HSR viaduct with soundproof walls. Peninsula NIMBYs successfully killed building new tracks for HSR, where Caltrain already runs (with almost no additional nuisance). Somehow, I don't imagine them (or any californias suburban community) being OK with a viaduct going through their towns. A viaduct that couldn't be laid on top of existing roads to have the right profile for high speed.

There are very few existing roads that are compatible in profile with high speed. And they are located where the right of way is already cheap.

Solving the right of way problem sounds maybe less sexy than supersonic travel, but this is where we can gain the most efficiency. I think this is a harder problem than the hypersonic technology.
Even clearer:

The tank--filled with hydraulic fluid, powering the fins, and enabling them to rotate and steer--ran out of fluid before landing.

Just because you've invented solar panels does not mean that you've solved the energy crisis. Sometimes the implementation of technology is just as inventive as the invention itself.
To be fair this is because the code is wrong. It should use:

printf (_("You should use the '%s' keyword"), "new");

indicating that the main string should be translated (_ == gettext) and the keyword itself should not. This also happens to generate slightly smaller binaries and fewer translations in the case where you have several keywords.

I don't think you can draw too many conclusions based on those observations. The fact you're posting on Hacker News makes you atypical for your generation.

I think we're in living in a pretty amazing time for computing. We're still figuring out what the next wave of computing will look like.

There is a difference between:

1. Getting justified fruits for people's labor (researchers). Say- getting a great ROI like 1000% or huge ROI of 100000%

2. Getting greedy and trying to multiply the the ROI at the cost of human lives.

I have seen pretty stupid patents (that are logically obvious or near common sense) granted to American companies in tech sector (and have been astonished since I helped create some of those). I believe pharma is no different.

1) Is not a valid argument, or at least shouldn't be. By that logic we should completely drop UDP.
> On the other hand, what would exit from a country without another country to go to mean?

Ordinary self-interest and the existence of >200 independent countries make it very likely that someone who just wants to be a contributor to any country that'll take him/her will find somewhere to go, even if it's not his/her first choice. Refugee treaties cover the corner case.

> We're debating morality here, which is subjective, but I'm not stupidly deontological. If open borders leads to a world which I rank lower morally than a world without then restrictive borders it is.

Then the argument is over, at least for the next decade or two. Sweden's experience provides the last bit of evidence necessary to demonstrate that open borders policy, as currently understood, leads to worse outcomes in Western countries than more moderate immigration policy.

I support research into better implementations of open borders, and if people like you act quickly, it might not be too late to correct e.g. Sweden's worst mistakes and arrive at something simultaneously more open and more functional there than current US policy. But this cannot be morally done without citizen consent, and you have no chance of getting that in the US in the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, I'll do what I can to help Chinese live better lives back in their home country, and I encourage others to do the same for India and other poor countries. And I'll vote for free trade and related policies. Because those courses of action, unlike open borders, are actually effective at reducing global poverty today.

> An uncharitable interpretation, I'm quite happy where I'm working too but I'd still rather be unemployed in the US than in India.

You wrote employed in China vs. unemployed in the US, not unemployed in [China/India] vs. unemployed in the US. You're now backtracking, as you should.
Given that PHP is one of the most widely used languages for making websites, if not the most, that link seems rather flimsy.
That's not really a lot of money. Going forward, it looks like he might average $20k/month, at best. If he wanted to hire another developer, for example, he really couldn't afford it. Sure, it's nice for now, but it's not a long-term business.
I think I can say with 100% certainty that either you are in a very bad place right now, in which case you have my sympathy, or you are an utterly titanic asshole, in which case you don't.
It may have been a windfall to other companies outside the conspiracy but it was not a windfall for the employees of those companies. Collusion meant the big companies didn't mean to pay as much as they otherwise would have. This means smaller companies can also pay less for the same talent. I worked at one of those smaller companies in the Bay Area. I have every reason to believe that if market rates were higher I would have received more pay. I do not consider myself a beneficiary of this scheme.

I'm all for patents to protect pharmaceutical companies, but there needs to be a profit limit where the patent expires early.
This is what I think is the vital issue. Taking a known compound and searching for every possible form in order to find one that doesn't happen to have been documented is in fact something that is "obvious to one skilled in the art," because it's a widespread activity. There are specific rules in the US patent system surrounding this issue.

So it's not like the drug maker was necessarily whacked by some rogue judge issuing a weird decision out of the blue. It may very well be that Gilead was taking a known risk at the hands of the Indian patent system.

Does Sovaldi satisfy India's standards for novelty? I don't know. I've had a patent application struck down over novelty, so I know it's not a happy day when it happens.
When I go to their public code review app [0], it looks pretty active. The last 100 changes listed there were modified in the last 24 hours!

I don't think companies spend as much as we believe in researching drugs. Companies spend most on advertising and incentivizing the doctors to prescribe their medicines. The book: Bad Pharma [1] is an eye opener.

The drug "Sovaldi" is making them $2.8ish billion dollars per quarter, that is almost $12 billion a year. I don't believe they spent tens of billions in developing the drug. [2]

I saw a really good quote before the attempt:

If they successfully land the rocket, we will learn a lot and advance spaceflight. It will be a good day for mankind.

If they don't successfully land the rocket, we will learn a lot and advance spaceflight. It will be a good day for mankind.

Trying and learning is always infinitely more valuable than sitting around saying i can't be done.

Startcom is great (I use it for a bunch of domains), but there are some caveats:

* They are only free for personal, non-commercial use. You can't (contractually) use them for your startup.

* They are free to acquire, but they charge to revoke them. So don't lose your key (even accidentally, via something like heartbleed).

* Their roots are not in the Windows XP base install. They are included in an optional update, but my experience with a web site that had old machines in its demographics showed that practically no one had it installed. Given that XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, this point is getting less and less relevant as the days go by.
Is this a proposal from 1995 or 2015?
It's also much more effective than the competition (i.e., its cure rate is higher). It also doesn't make you feel like you have the flu during the treatment period. The higher % of people who relapse on alternative treatments could end up costing more than just paying for the better drug in the first place. The cost of the medication alone is not enough information.
let us rejoice ;)
As noted in the bug, it is not just writing a fix but writing one that works against all supported configurations that is the cause of a delay.
This has always been the case [1] :-). Medicines and medical care in India is cheaper, by many folds, compared to US. Anecdotaly, whenever my Indian friends working in US visit India (parents, family) one thing they never forget is to visit dentists. I initially found it very surprising but understood their reasoning when I came to know that in US you can easily go bankrupt due to medical condition, something that's unheard of in India.

ICLR 2015 Conference submissions (scroll down)
This is an argument I find semi-convincing, and not solely because the economics is wrong ("deskilling" isn't an externality and education is not a public good).

Suppose that integration of black Americans also allows them to produce negative externalities and consume positive ones produced by white Americans. For example, suppose black Americans are disproportionate consumers of welfare and producers of crime.

If externalities are your true justification (rather than a post-hoc rationalization), then we should segregate black Americans as well. Do you favor this, contingent on circumstances?

Your example of Germany is interesting, given that the GDR did in fact prevent emigration in order to make sure the state didn't lose it's investment in human capital. So if the US opens it's borders, the Germans can just rebuild their wall.
You can do away with the pump, pipes, and power supply.

Since the main propulsion isn't going, closed hydraulics would have to have an independent power supply. Probably batteries. Instead, they replace all that with some compressed air. They can run out of compressed air, but can also run out of whatever powers the pumps in a closed system.

The hydraulic fluid is probably RP-1 and is probably dumped into the fuel tank, where it's available for later burning. Another 2-for-1.

I agree with you, and I find it fascinating that in May 2012 everyone celebrated SpaceX successfully docking with the ISS for the first time. [1]

It's only been 2.5 years, and they'd only docked to the ISS a total of 5 times before this mission, and yet everyone now takes the mission and successful docking for granted and is looking for the next great thing.

> Edit: Seriously? It's an informative post, why the downvote hate?

This is getting to be a rather annoying issue with HN for the past six months or so. You will often get 2 or 3 downvotes very soon after posting, for no apparent reason, and seldom will anyone actually take the time to make a post explaining their objection to your post and why they downvoted it (and, FYI and FWIW, those of you who downvote posts solely to express disagreement, are dumb assholes and you don't belong here - GTFO).

For what it's worth, if I see grey text now I reflexively give it an upvote regardless of content. The voting system here is so dysfunctional now, that all text should at least be black.

Edit: And, yes, 'ironic' downvotes for talking about the downvoting brigade in the first place, are the best kind of downvotes. They do not stop me from posting about it - I take downvotes on HN as an indicator that I'm on the right track, so vote away.

If running out of stored hydraulic pressure is the only problem they had, that's good. That's easy to fix, although it means some weight penalty.

What SpaceX did was a low-cost test. They were paid for a shipment to the ISS, which was successful. The test of the booster recovery system didn't cost them a launch. They didn't expend a booster just for this.
I would have gladly paid the price of a movie ticket (something like $12 where I'm from) to watch the movie online. Sadly, $30 to be shipped a DVD is quite unappealing.

I only mention this because it occurs in both of your comments in the thread, but...

When one can't code, it can at least translate ;)

In this context the pronoun "it" would make more sense as "one"; "it" is very rarely used to refer to a person in English.

A professional translator makes sure to check the context of the translation, it doesn't go blindly translating sentences and words without context.

Again, in this context, "it doesn't" might make more sense as "he or she doesn't", or less formally, "they don't".

Hope this helps with your translations :-)
yup. you are right about the size. although in my case, the around 100mb shouldn't be big problem. But i hope something comes up in nw.js that makes it smaller to distribute applications.
I am also disappointed, but not because I have presupposed the answer. I am genuinely curious as to whether Gilead will say "All right, drugs were fun but we're gonna do mobile gaming now," or whether they are making enough revenue from other markets and perhaps other drugs that they'll continue to discover and develop drugs like Sovaldi. I don't think the answer is obvious to someone (like me) who hasn't been paying close attention to the profitability of drug development, so I would have appreciated

In particular, while I can see grassroots protestors not thinking about the long term, I vaguely assume that Médecins Sans Frontières knows what they're doing, and wouldn't have been backing this strongly if they didn't think it was also a long-term good strategy. But I definitely would have appreciated more discussion of that point, since I don't put much stock in my own vague assumptions.
