My point was that you do have a little say, but so do millions of others, and a lot of these are conflicting, which makes it difficult to settle on a policy.

> It's interesting that the paper you mention has had almost no cites

I assume you mean the "Strong Steam" paper? I guess it is not as highly cited since most simply don't question the myth and cite those that propagate the myth instead. However, the paper is well-researched and compelling. I also found it a surprisingly good read, fascinating for the historical perspective it offers of technology and industry at the time.

> If they believed it threatened their views, you would think they would respond.

I'm not sure about Mokyr, but Boldrin and Levine did respond, and as the second paper shows, they responded by simply changing their falsehoods.

I mostly agree with your views on the papers in this field. However, I don't think the question is easily answerable because from most of the papers I've read, comparing the benefits and costs of patents is like comparing apples and oranges.

> Patents have simply proved an ineffective way to defend a new business, in my experience.

I actually agree. My experience comes from a startup that was ripped off by the big guys and prevailed with patents, but only after it almost died and most of the original team was laid off. As such the patents could not defend the business, and were only good for some after-the-fact remediation.

To me, this makes it seem like patent law needs to be strengthened to avoid such cases, but more and more "patent reform" is all about making it easier for the big guys to defend themselves.

Our primary product is a sophisticated web application which allows non-developers create interactive presentations.

We're looking for talented developers. Our technology stack is Javascript / jQuery / HTML5 on the front-end, and Python / MySQL on the back-end. But you don't need experience in our stack - we know a good developer can learn on the job.

SEEKING FREELANCER

We're looking for a freelance JavaScript developer and open source advocate at Open Exchange Rates, to take over maintenance of our two popular open source libraries, money.js[1] and accounting.js[2].

Between them, these projects have hundreds of thousands of users, thousands of articles and tutorials, and hundreds of community forks.

This is an opportunity to get paid to chill out with a passion project, which carries your name and belongs to the developer community forever.

You’ll be taking ownership of:

* keeping the libraries in alignment with the latest coding standards,

* merging contributions and resolving issues from the GitHub community,

* keeping track of forks and integrations,

* rewriting their documentation, and

* leading and interacting with the community of developers building with them every day.

NOTE: These projects are public and open source, but we're treating this as a standard freelance project to begin with. After the first phase, we'll have a discussion to see how things want to progress. We have many more open source projects in the pipeline – and internal gigs too.

We’re from London, but you can be anywhere. Let's make some art.

Please include your GitHub profile, website, relevant projects and experience, and availability over the next 6 months.

Peerby (https://www.peerby.com) - Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Holland) - Full time

The Peerby founders felt there's a better way to deal with all that stuff we own and barely use. By sharing stuff with neighbors, you get access to things you no longer need to own. Our mission is to give "everybody everywhere access to every thing by 2020". That's an ambitious goal but it's also what we believe is possible - and necessary!

We're looking for:

Why would it be improperly indented in the first place? How is removing the indentation any different from removing braces?

Sure, when you paste code somewhere that expects prose (Facebook status updates, for example), it will consolidate consecutive whitespace and thereby remove the indentation, but you shouldn't be pasting code into a place like that anyway, because no matter what you do it'll be unreadable, and most people aren't going to be interested enough to put it into their editor to autoformat.
Wow, I did not imagine people would pay for emoji. I stand corrected.
Ha, crossed comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9128083) I too was thinking about dark scifi movies of this era[1], am very very often questioning how subjective this is, but some things do stand the test of time and these don't fade.

To be fair, although they made the keyboard shortcuts invisible, added another nesting level to the menubar, gave the title too little horizontal space while simultaneously wasting vertical space, and made the UI inconsistent with every other window on the system... they did manage to save as much as 7 pixels of space.

"To concentrate these cells in a sample, they filtered groundwater collected at Rifle, Colorado through successively smaller filters, down to 0.2 microns, which is the size used to sterilize water. The resulting samples were anything but sterile".

Could "sterile" water be potentially dangerous then?
Ask HN: Who's looking for a cofounder?

Good. It's really bizarre that some parties are so openly opposed to it, while pretending they are pro competition. Do they not care, or they simply think that public will eat that nonsense without second thought?
Rapt.fm looks very cool and, all of a sudden, I'd really love to kick some rhymes. Good luck in your search!!!
Based on my past subjective measurements with a DK2, which is a similar resolution (960x1080 per eye), I estimate that the 1200x1080 resolution corresponds to a minimum tolerable font size that would be equivalent to 27pt on my 2560x1600 monitor at 3ft. (This is assuming, first, that because the vertical resolutions are the same, the extra horizontal pixels were allocated to peripheral vision; and second, that it's the same the same 2:1:1 pentile style display. If those are full pixels, that drops by a factor sqrt(2) to 19pt.)
My strategy is to wear a fully-awesome Western shirt; pearl snap buttons, big embroidered images on the shoulders, the whole works. It's dressy but also hilarious.

What bothers me is how you can find a lot of common words with many contrived definitions listed: things like "dog: a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times", "table: a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs", etc. I really hope there aren't any schools making kids memorize these definitions.

My first thought was that these might be sets for English language learners, but the language used in the definitions generally uses a pretty diverse vocabulary. I doubt it's meant for beginners.
Domino Data Lab (http://www.dominodatalab.com/) is looking for Scala developers. We are in San Francisco and also open to remote candidates. Email us at jobs@dominodatalab.com.

Our customer base is growing fast and we need engineers to sustain an aggressive roadmap for the product. This is an excellent opportunity to join a company that has traction but is still small.

We're looking for someone with serious tech chops; our product is not a simple CRUD app. We have a desktop client, an asynchronous web app, job distribution, a custom revisioned file store, cluster management, and a dash of virtualized containers; heavy security and reliability requirements. Our stack is Scala (and Play), with MongoDB and some Javascript on the front end. Ideally we'd like someone who's comfortable with these technologies, but great engineers who can quickly learn new technologies are also fine with us.

Super cool! One of my favorite contemporary writers.
Find out what the culture of the company is and try to match that.
What the original poster is saying though is that if they are all equal, then differences must be either though some bias or just random chance. With consistent disparity it is more likely to be bias. So to counter this a quota system makes sense.

Of course we know both that a quota system won't fly and skin color matters a lot in virtually everything we do. We're at a great lose-lose scenario.
Information is also a contribution.

The Huawei Watch Brings Serious Style to Android Wear
Nice link on the "Motte and Bailey" article. I might link to this in my blog since I independently came up with the same argument.

In this case, I think one version of "privilege" is the idea that our society involves unipolar power relations where one group/ideology is privileged and enjoys special advantages. Individual people might in some ways align with this group/ideologies, and in other ways not (this is called "intersectionality"). But when they do align with this group/ideology they receive some of its benefits.

Sago's version is that privilege is just another word for any group having any advantage for any reason. I.e. "privilege" stripped of its underlying assumptions about societies power structure. It's unfortunate that Sago feel so strongly that they represent sociological research, when I think that almost all sociologists use the other definition.

Sago says that Asians might be privileged simply because their culture [0]. The orthodox view would be that Asians only receive White privilege, by their willingness to accept both the White lifestyle, working under a capitalist system, and adopt White views on Black/White race relations. To the extend that Asians also study harder, that would be an accident of history, and probably something an orthodox sociologist would try to downplay (e.g. by looking at Nth generation Asians).

In Germany the film is rated 16+, so this story strikes me as really odd. I wouldn't have thought of showing the film to children any younger than 14, personally.

But I guess this is a cultural thing. We tend to be more prudish when it comes to violence but are a lot more relaxed when it comes to nudity or sexuality.

I do remember watching Alien under age (no idea at what age exactly) and thinking it's the scariest thing I had ever seen, though. However I think it's difficult to tell whether that did me any harm or not. We tend to overestimate our own psyche, just as we tend to overestimate how "adult" our children really are.

If you had "excellent grades" (GPA), you're not the example of watered down academic standards for admittance that I was talking about. Your MIT peers had excellent grades and so did you. You got admitted without some artificial lowering of standards to mirror a 13%-black-ratio of the population at large. I'm sure some Caucasian MIT students had lower SAT scores than you as well. As a whole, all the students at MIT had legitimate academic chops to get admitted. MIT doesn't have football scholarships like the University of North Carolina academic scandal.
