I'm not talking about extremists but about the vast majority of moderate Muslims.

Yeah, you're right, all those things are terrible, too. Can't we do better than what we have?

DirecTV receiver & slave, Roku, Amazon FireTV Stick, 3 laptops, a personal server, 2 Android tablets, an iPhone, an Android smartphone, a kindle e-reader, a VOIP box, a networked printer, sometimes another work laptop.

This is only a list of items that have been connected to my home router within the past 7 days, so these items are all currently in use.

Approx. 3 years ago, I had 4 devices: 2 phones, 2 laptops.
Charlie Hebdo is not anti-Muslim. It is a satiric paper, and hits on everyone, including Muslims. No one had a special treatment with them.

23 devices that I can remember - 3 laptops, 2 computers, 1 amazon fire tv, 4 ipads, 2 iphones, 2 amazon hdx tablets, 5 x sonos, 1 WII, 1 networked printer, 2 NAS

Five years ago that would have been 3 laptops, 1 computer, 1 WII and little else.

Next five years will see many more devices but not in the same class of product as any of the devices currently in the home.
"acquiring a plasmid or phage carrying an enzyme that inactives teixobactin. This particular mode of acquiring antibiotic resistance is quite common."

Right, which is why I said the bit about bacteria kicking out genes that they don't need. Bacteria will "eject" a plasmid within a generation or two if they no longer need the gene(s) in question. Replicating a big gob of easily-ejectable DNA is not something bacteria do unless there's a good reason to do it.

Basically, for plasmid resistance to propagate, you need to have constant exposure to the antibiotic in question, or the resistance gene needs to be stably integrated into the bacterial genome. The former doesn't happen until an antibiotic is in extremely wide use, and the latter is one more rare step on top of an already unlikely chain of events.

It's not impossible, it's just unlikely.

Yes, definitely anti-competitive (he says as he changes Spotify's streaming quality to "Extreme" on his T-Mobile serviced phone).
I wonder if keeping CVS is not one of the smartest things the OpenBSD project does now. I'm being somewhat facetious but hear me out.

Workflow is as much about people and process as it is about tools. The tools simply serve the people and processes.

This is a project that has consistently hit high quality releases, on a predetermined schedule, for coming up on two decades. That is unprecedented. I can't think of anything even remotely similar.

Version control is a tool for integrating change and managing releases. They are arguably one of the best projects at doing it. See the silliness of the "CVS?!" non sequitur yet?

So for people to drive by, who are statistically more likely part of the problems in the software industry, and critique the OpenBSD development process.. is at best cute and worst delusional.

Inadvertently(?) it functions as a litmus test.. if you care so much about this, you aren't really who we want to work with anyway, similar to the candidate fixated on his title in http://dtrace.org/blogs/eschrock/2012/08/14/engineer-anti-pa...
One of the most striking things I notice when traveling abroad is that almost everyone in a given location looks the same. Germans are tall and blonde, people living in Mexico are short, squat and brown skinned with black hair, Nigerians are tall and skinny with very dark skin. It's not a universal truth, of course, and it can even vary by region within a country, but by and large a person will look like his neighbors.

Americans, on the other hand, look nothing like each other. So it's striking for an American to go to another country and see people who all look very similar to each other, because we don't see that at home.
The morse is subtle but if you listen closely you can hear it. Set the Soundcloud player to 1:25 or so and you'll hear singing as they finish up the chorus. As the chorus completes at about 1:31 the singing stops and instruments play. Listen closely, and try to remember what morse sounds like in the movies. It's there in the background, and once you hear it it's obvious. Don't listen to the drums or tambourine, it's not there in the beat. It's "behind" the beat as if a background instrument was playing.

(edit: it also kicks in again around 2:30 and 3:30. So the start times are at approximately 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30.)

Outstanding.
Do you care at all about what your company does?
What did you hate about your startup experience?

While I'm not in your position, I fear that I will one day end up in a situation where I'm working on something that I don't care at all about and regardless of what the job gives back in terms of money/prestige/experience, I won't be able to 'unsee' the fact that I'll be wasting my life for the benefit of a third party.

As of now the only thing that really keeps me motivated is a combination of a challenging problem (not being 100% sure to be able to solve it elegantly) and working on something that I care about personally.
Unfortunately it seems to me that this kind of combination is most likely found in the startup world, which means you also have to deal with its generally awful culture.

Maybe you too can find a way to keep motivated, although having a family surely reduces your possibilities.
A side project maybe?

If you can't change your working situation then you must find a way to 'recharge your batteries' outside of work and since you have a kid on the way you might also want to consider something that you can share with him/her in the future.
Reminds me of my 8086 -> 68000 recompiler I wrote in my Atari ST days. Translating MSDOS binaries to GEMDOS was pretty straightforward back then.
From what I understand, it should work with any JavaScript you feed it. Though, for badly-written source, it may even produce a faulty output when used with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS. Yikes! (Example from the docs - "Inconsistent property names": https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/api-tuto...). So it's more about the Closure Library being "certified" to work with it. Someone with more experience feel free to shed some light on this.
Thanks for the informative response! Do you know how expensive clinical trials would be for this kind of drug?
At the very least, each of their employees' has a selfish reason to keep Wikipedia the de-facto encyclopedia. For instance, they have over $20 million in salary they need to pay every year and without traffic, they lose donations (over $45 million a year) and therefore could lose their jobs. Seems a monopoly would be in their interest.

This is a dead end in a sufficiently large and complicated app (think beyond facebook/gmail etc) especially if the app supported multiple versions of 3rd party code such as charting libs.

besides writing it yourself (cue contractors going this is the only viable route) reuse and dead code elimination are necessary foundations to the next level of web apps for productivity of dev and responsive runtimes.
Hi Lee. I have questions if you don't mind. Did you get all customers from trade shows or did you also use other methods? Did you cold call?

With the trade show did you just go and talk to people, or did you have a stall set up?
It will probably survive, actually. Many people will buy the journal in the next few weeks, even if they never read it before. There are many talentuous cartoonists that can help for a few months if needed. And even without that, how could the French government let that journal fail in the next weeks ? It would be a very negative symbol; that would mean "they" won.
Wasn't the act of shooting a religious practice? You may choose to rationalize a separation of religion from its inevitable outcomes. They don't.

I wish I could use ClojureScript in my day-to-day, but for now it's out of the question. So, for us, AMD [1] has been a god send. We can defer loading other major parts of our UI until the user actually uses that functionality. Doing this on our own would be impossible, but using AMD has really worked well for us.

But, here's to hoping I can actually use ClojureScript at some future point :)

Why shouldn't something like Wikipedia that is relatively easy for a carrier to cache locally be charged differently than something for which providing access requires inter-carrier agreements?

It's just an extension of not paying per use of jquery mobile because there's a copy cached on my phone. It's congestion pricing.

but that's not the point, is it? what if I wanted to launch a competitor? the fact Wikipedia is non-profit shouldn't grant it some kind of super status above my business idea. non-profit doesn't automatically mean better or less evil for consumers.

I disagree. It's one thing to condemn violence perpetrated in the name of your faith. It's quite another to post cartoons that openly blaspheme it.

Failing to see the difference between the two and posing it as a black or white issue only feeds fundamentalism. As much as I applaud freedom of expression above all else, I do not expect everyone to express this in the same manner, and I do not condemn those who take issue with, to them, blasphemous cartoons without proposing violence as a solution.

True, but the API for pure Greenlets is a bit ugly.

In Go, the API for goroutines and channels is superb, concise, and clear.

For a rational actor, it should be an unstable equilibrium.

That's a good point, the recent push by Microsoft towards mobile devices has undoubtedly led to significant improvements. Without some hard data I am certainly being speculative, just speaking from experience.
I'll also add that the educational institute who received the government funds out-licenses the drug while maintaining a royalty interest in it. Lyrica came out of Northwestern and they build a brand new, shiny chemistry building out of the royalties.

Fair but I was suggesting that Facebook is really only useful if you have friends but when you or your friends can't signup or their parents won't allow them to signup (in my case), there's not much reason to use Facebook.

It is kind of like not needing LinkedIn until you're in college.
> Purely from an Occam's razor perspective, the country that attacked this film and warned of consequences if released-- consequences that actually happened, is probably at fault here. This analysis of how it must have been anyone but NKorea, especially considering NKorea's reputation, is highly questionable to the unbiased observer.

The correct response to "who was responsible for this" is "who cares". The FBI seems to think it matters, so people are refuting their evidence. And are reasons for that.

The government has no credibility in this area. Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction. This has the same ring to it. They have a lot of the same incentives. It doesn't even matter whether they're intentionally misleading us or just incompetent, the solution in either case is to disregard whatever they say.

And they can't actually tell where the attack came from. That's not how it works -- especially if the attacker is trying to disguise their true location as they have every incentive to do. Computers in North Korea are not immune from the myriad Java and Flash vulnerabilities, and once you pop one machine you can put ssh on a VM and stage your attack from it. Distinguishing that from the attacker being physically in the same room as that machine is not going to happen based on an analysis of network traffic or anything to do with IP addresses. Anyone who claims otherwise could be malicious or just wrong, but it's at least one of those.

None of that proves it wasn't North Korea. The point is that it doesn't matter. What are you going to do differently if it was, as opposed to being some troll in Florida? The only sensible things to do are the same in either case. Stop using ridiculously bad passwords, etc. What changes if it was North Korea? Are we going to invade? Should we give the FBI new powers of cyber warfare? That's what people are afraid of, because those are profoundly stupid ideas.

I wouldn't do something stupid like give it to every single head of livestock in the world (cough) but the great thing about antibiotic-resistant bacteria is that they're not resistant to all antibiotics at once. Without the evolutionary pressure to stay resistant to antibiotic B, a bacteria can be resistant to antibiotic A but not so much A and B at the same time. (Which is why things like MRSA are treated with very old and unpopular antibiotics).

Any new antibiotic makes this approach even better, because if you have A, B, C, D, and now E, now the bacteria has to be resistant to all five at once, which is a lot of useless genes to hold onto.
$100M-500M gets thrown around [1] but it's hard to find good data. This might seem not too high, but many drugs fail, and often fail at the most costly step (phase III). So you have to be sure to factor that failure rate in.

If so, then why do you need a throwaway account to side with the Telcos? The issue is once this becomes standard practice those nice words disappear and a whole new monster appears. Its best to nip it in the bud.
Depends on what indication they are trying to get. A handy estimate is that a phase III trial costs $15K/person/year. If they aim for a 1000 person trial of 6 month duration, you're looking at $15M just for the phase 3 (I doubled it since they typically run two). However, that's a small trial.

So market it as "Unlimited Music" and implement it as "Unlimited 256kbps browsing".
In the article the comparison of everyone sharing the same road infrastructure is given. Why is the analogy not carried over to public transportation? There are plenty of people who are willing to pay a much lower cost per trip by riding public transportation instead of driving (or even owning) a car. Nobody is claiming that the bus system is anti-competitive to car manufacturers.

In fact, the author even states that people could be satisfied by this approach. If people are satisfied with their walled garden, why is this an issue?
Why is that bad? Shouldn't the discoverers of pregabalin, who helped millions in excruciating incurable chronic pain, receive a portion of the profit from the sales of the drug to build facilities for future research?

That seems like a well-formed feedback loop to me.

I'm surprised this discussion didn't come up when FB acquired Whatsapp. IMHO, zero rating explains a significant chunk of Whatsapp's $19B price tag. Zero Rating is a valuable moat, and makes Whatsapp that much harder to unseat by rival apps. Also zero rating is particularly common in the countries that Whatsapp dominates.
Obviously nothing stays around forever. But there is a big difference between a trendy app that everyone uses for a couple years and then stops, and Facebook, which many people don't use on a daily basis but still keep it around because its usefulness outweighs the effort required to keep your account. I have friends who have deleted their Facebook accounts, only to come back a month later with a very basic account just because they need to keep in touch with some circle of friends that they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

Freelancing VS Startup
I am a full stack programmer and have been freelancing for over 3years now. I started in my third year in school, have worked at two companies and last year i realized that there is actually no future in freelancing.
My colleage and i have this startup idea and we already have potential investors but they have not given us anything yet
what you suggest should i quit freelancing totally and focus on my startup and develop it full.
NB: Freelancing is my current source of income though i have savings.
I don't see any programmer making it big as a freelancer.

This is exactly what we've been doing for decades. When you get an antibiotic-resistant infection, like I have twice, they just give you older antibiotics. So the more antibiotics you have, the better, because it's harder for a bacteria to be resistant to more and more antibiotics at once.
This was an interesting read, but what to me personally is more interesting is how to prevent hearing loss over the years.

I might be wrong on this, but I recall a hearing specialist advising me not to use earbuds at all, or at least limit the use to max 1 hour at a time. A dynamic headphones, such as the good old Superlux HD 681 would be "better" in the long term. (Not trying to advertise for that headphone, it's just one of the few that is cheap, good, and I can rewire myself and even add a plug so I can easily buy new aux cables).

However I cannot wear my headphone longer than 6 hours without it getting annoying. And running with a big headphone is a big no, but than again, I'm nowhere near to running longer than 30 minutes in a row.
