Not the best place to vent this but having a conversation with my mother the other day about cancer sent my mind racing. I don't think cancer will cured for a very long time.

She had watched some evening news show talking about injecting polio into cancer cells, which is some really cool research [1], but in explaining it to me it brought my attention that she held some serious misunderstandings of what cancer is. She said something like, "They would inject polio into the cells so that the body would recognize the cancer as foreign, because for some reason our bodies don't recognize cancer as foreign."

I just wonder how many people have absolutely no idea that cancer is just a damaged cell behaving naturally. It's not foreign. And with that in mind, it's kind of ridiculous to think we can do some kind of checksum of DNA at a cellular level, for every cell, for everyone. Cancer is here to stay, because it's as fundamental to life as aging and growing.

"land-use regulations in the West End of London inflate the price of office space by about 800%; Milan and Paris the rules push up prices by around 300%."

I live in Milan so I think I'm qualified to write about this. The office space one wants is close to home or to metro or train stations, unless one lives outside the city. In that case the best office space is close to the highways on the same side of the city you're from. I used to work at 10 minutes by feet from office, then exactly at the other side of the city. It took one hour to get to office, by car or public transport. I preferred public transport because of the free time for reading. I work mostly from home now with customers within 30 minutes (walking of cycling), which is even better.

I can understand that zoning rules limit the number of offices and houses that can be build close to the best areas but as a city dweller do I really want to see buildings built everywhere, in every single space between existing buildings or replacing smaller ones? Call me selfish because I don't care about raising the country GDP but I don't think so. Maybe it's because I'm European but my ideal of a city is not a large archaeology. It's more like this http://goitaly.about.com/od/moreitaliancities/tp/small-itali... and Milan is a reasonable compromise between access to fast Internet, customers and quality of life. People born in those other cities won't agree but they still come here to work :-)

Clippy goes open source
I get that. But still wondering why implement it like this?
Not disagreeing with your overall point regarding the usefulness UX of this sort of interface, but unlike the Famo.us demo, Space.js seems to maintain the scroll bar on the right window edge, which allows you to keep a sense of where you are within the document and to jump where you want within it. Also, the down arrow alleviates the strain on your middle finger nicely, as will clicking and dragging the scroll bar.
But it's already unaffordable for the average NYer before it's even ready. If wealthy foreigners can park their money in manhattan, they will, without living there. That doesn't help scarcity for actual residents.
Pretty sad that they contributed hundred of hours of their time that they could lose any second if Google decided to ditch Waze.

(Coastal) California suburbs and small towns tend to be much denser than suburbs in most of the rest of the country. Most of LA city proper is considered suburban, but it also averages out to something like 8K people/sq mile. Even somewhere more suburban like Anaheim clocks in at 6.6K. Compare that with Dallas (3.6).

I would've expected those density gains to be somewhat more offset by the worse fuel efficiency of sitting in LA traffic, though... but on the other hand, much of the LA area has far lower heating/cooling costs than almost anywhere else in the country.
So much easier when these frameworks are new and light, and the underlying languages are not changing at light speed...I'm with you.
Always follow up if that happens. Things get lost and forgotten, and people sometimes forget who's side of the court the ball was in. It happens.
Short term, ranged, and non-clinical studies always remind me of the story of the "Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes" (1)

AKA - x-ray machines placed in shoe stores so you could stick your foot in, dial up the radiation, and see your wiggling toes in the shoe.

Invented in the 1920s. Debates raged for decades. Outlawed finally in most states in the 1970s.

So for 50 years people thought taking your kid to the shoe store and blasting their feet with radiation was a good idea.

Largely because they had limited data and ability to measure the outcome, as the data became available it became crystal clear that these had the potential to be dramatically harmful.

Even with this lesson in mind I took fish oil for years, despite a lack of clear data.

The study a couple of years ago that linked fish-oil (natural and supplemental) to a 41% increase in prostate cancer / 71% increase in aggressive prostate cancer, reminded me of the flouroscope story. (2)

This Harvard health article, a couple of years old, puts it best:

"How food, and its component molecules, affect the body is largely a mystery. That makes the use of supplements for anything other than treating a deficiency questionable." (3)

Are you sure you're looking at New York versus California, not New York State versus California? Look up the Berkeley cool climate carbon footprint map. Most of SV is 50-90 metric tons per household per year. Manhattan is 25-40. My parents zip code, in suburban DC is 92. My zip code, in downtown Baltimore is 34. My old zip code in downtown Chicago is 37.

And unlike California, those cities require winter heat and simmer cooling. Manhattanites spend about 1/6 carbon budget on transportation as someone in say San Jose.

CT scans expose you to about 100-1000x the radiation of a single x-ray but that isn't the main reason frequent tests aren't done. The main reason based on my understanding is two-fold: First, cost would be prohibitive, and second the absolute number of false positive would do more harm than good overall.

> Established profitable companies in a market with multiple competitors usually do not fuck with their customers, if they charge up-front for their product/service.

Lenovo (and lots of other hardware manufacturers) are proof positive that this is absolutely not the case. There isn't a windows machine bought over the years by my extended family that did not have a whole pile of junk on it right from day one including ad injectors such as described in the article.

Whether or not open source is 'viable' for large numbers of users is no longer a question that needs settling. For bandwidth we have torrents if need be.
Someone should make a chart of all the bogeymen the USG has and show how they compete with each other. With regard to fear, how effective are terrorists v. hackers? Or kiddie porn v. ISIS? Russia v. Anonymous?

If I'm Obama I need to know which bogeyman to deploy for a specific policy desire. Which one will scare the public the most?

For example, should Obama use the fear of terrorists or pedophiles to enact restrictions on encryption? I wonder if they have focus groups for this kind of thing.
>Scanning is still fairly invasive (w.r.t. radiation/dosages). And in general, the better the resolution, the more damaging.

This guy had MRI scans which don't rely on ionising radiation and have no known adverse effects.

>everyone has all sorts of little cancerous growths that are entirely benign

When discussing tumours, cancerous and benign mean different things. You cannot have a benign cancerous growth.

I think the main reason people aren't scanned routinely is due to the enormous cost of the scanning and the data analysis that currently relies on physicians for interpretation. My personal view is that with ever decreasing costs of MRI and improvements in computer vision and diagnostic algorithms, this could become a viable process in the future. As for not over-treating, that is a physician led decision - just because there is an anomaly on the scan does not mean that it will be removed or even necessarily treated at all.

The only way to choose your internal namespace so that it doesn't conflict with external names is to use a namespace you own, because there are no reserved domains for "internal" use.

Specifically, that's going to mean that your internal names need to be subdomains of a domain name you control, such as your organization's domain. Something along the lines of "*.internal.companyname.com".

PageRank as a secret sauce that solves search -- this was actually always an overblown myth created in the early days of Google for PR purposes. It fits their PR mission perfectly because they want everyone to think that super smart algorithms are the secret to their success.

If PageRank was really as useful as they say, Google would have had tons of high-quality competitors from day 1.

How did you discover websites before advertising took over the web?

I don't remember having any trouble discovering new stuff, rather the opposite, word of mouth and following links gave an endless stream of new and interesting stuff.

This site alone generates more info in that bracket than I can keep up with (even though I really try to).

IPv6 is not enabled by default. It is compiled in the kernel, but interfaces don't get an IPv6 link-local address if you don't explicitely say so. When you enable IPv6, you get a link-local address, send router solicitations and process router advertisements ("IPv6 autoconfiguration"). Router advertisements carry the prefix information, and the gateway address, as well as a DNS resolver. The latter is not always processed. It does not happen on Windows 7, on Linux you need to install rdnssd and I'm fairly sure it's the same case with the various BSDs.

Sometimes, this is not enough to get global IPv6 connectivity. The router advertisement has a flag that can indicate that the host must/can request additional information through DHCPv6. While similar to DHCP, DHCPv6 is quite a different protocol; therefore you need a separate client (or you need to merge it in your DHCP implementation; much like ISC's dhclient does with the -4/-6 command line flag).

So no, OpenBSD ships with IPv6 support as well as DHCP support. it's just that IPv6 is not configured by default, and IPv6 and DHCP have little to do with each other.
