Why couldn't the cold, laboratory based, German "empirical" approach have lead to the same cure? A commitment to the notion that the disorder was bacterial/viral in nature could cause problems. But empiricism shouldn't, right?

They can just have a cold hard study where they isolate 100 people in a lab, and half only get white rice, while have get rice and barley. Then see what happens.
A frame with four legs is not self-stable in flight at all. The thrust on all four legs must be identical to prevent rotations, and rotations are not self-cancelling.

Quadcopters must be computer controlled because the control loop must be very tight. Humans cannot fly them without electronic attitude control. It is certainly no easier than the gimbal control of a rocket, which is similar to balancing a stick on your hand. We give that control problem to undergrads as homework.
The state of storytelling in the Internet age
I completely agree with this article, based on my own experiences.

My wife acquired Bipolar 2 after a prolonged systemic infection at 30 years old. After years of hospitals, tests, virtual bankruptcy and little to no progress, I decided to do something.

I started by looking at human population studies which showed lower incidences of her mental illness, and based on differences in diet, exercise, and medicines I discovered a possible difference in India from WHO publications and .

After reviewing several PubMed and other academic papers on the subject, I thought perhaps that dietary difference may account for disease incidence differences. So, comparing the most common Indian food ingredients versus US diets, I came across turmeric.

Turmeric has shown strong anti-inflammatory properties, positive effects on astocyte cell regrowth, and may improve neural myelination. It is used in many Indian dishes but relatively few American dishes. It's used throughout the middle east and asia, but mostly for grilling.

So I purchased imported Indian turmeric, and started cooking it into all that I could every day, especially soups and other combinations with pepper and oil as it's done in India.

Inside two months and she started to sleep less than her typical 16 hours a day. She quit listening to music all her waking hours. Her mood made positive strides. She played with the children. It was a small, however exceptionally positive change.

Following five years of improvements, the outcomes have been great. She is again driving, teaching, and just needs her single medication at the most minimal measurement essential. She now has clear thinking, great memory, and no longer experiences the symptoms of side effects.

She has not been hospitalized since.

Take it as quackery, miracle, or however you like. Perhaps it may help someone, someday. I know studies are in being proposed, and perhaps it may improve the lives of others.

Chariot (YC W15) Is Hiring Python Engineers, Front End, Designers
Multi-team support is a big one. HipChat doesn't let you participate in multiple organizations. When you're doing B2B stuff, or contracting work, or just interfacing with some external team (eg., designers), being able to chat in the same room without having to jump through a bunch of hoops is super important.

For me, there is also a bunch of minor detail where Slack wins. Slack just looks better, behaves better with choppy connections, and has better code pasting support. It also does much better with automatic link extraction (HipChat's Linky is annoying and won't let you remove the automatic description). Lastly, Slack has integration playbooks that automatically uses APIs to configure stuff or (when that's not possible) gives you the recipe; for example, the Github and Zendesk integrations will automatically register the app and webhooks for you, almost no manual setup needed. HipChat is all manual.

And for the love of God, HipChat, fix your inane emojis. Immature 4Chan memes (trollface etc.) have no place in a business, not even among developers.
Let's do a quick comparison.

A candidate plane for this engine would be the Cesna Turbo Stationair.

-It is a six passenger plane with a base operating weight of about a ton.

-It's engine delivers 231 kW, which is slightly less than Siemens electric engine. It's mass is approx. 200 kg, so the Siemens engine frees up 150 kg of weight.

-It's fuel capacity is 237 kg of 100LL avgas. With an energy density of 44.0 MJ/kg, this gives the plane a stored energy of 10.4 GJ. The plane's max range is 1300 km.

-Tesla's best battery (the Smart) has an energy density of 132 WH/kg, which is 475.2 kJ/kg. That means you'd need 21.9 thousand kilograms of battery to store the same energy that's in the Cesna's tank when full.

-If we assume the plane's range is linearly related to it's stored fuel (an approximation not really accounting for take-offs), 237 kg plus the 150 kg saved in engine weight gives 0.051 GJ of stored energy, which would reduce the plane's range to 5% of normal, or about 63 km.

Based on this, don't expect an EV passenger plane anytime soon. Battery technology just isn't good enough yet. A hybrid with a gas-turbine generator is much more likely in the near future. This engine may also have applications where range is not important, such as training, stunt and racing planes.
This is definitely not a novel idea, but it's well-executed. Anyway, my personal issue with this is the excessive packaging and possibly non-compact storage if you have to, for example, go abroad for a month.
I installed a Qi dock in my car, and it charges the LG G3 just fine despite huge power draw from the QHD screen.

To maximize the power transfer, I would recommend:

1) Use a charger with 3 coils instead of 1

2) Don't use a cheap car outlet USB adapter. Get a nice one with at least 2A available per port. The nice ones are actually isolated to reduce interference with FM radio, too.

3) Use a very thin case, or no case at all on your phone.
Whatever reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and leads to reduced emissions I am down with. I see some people getting confused, this is not about a solely electric plane. The applications here would be for a hybrid plane that utilises both existing jet engine technology and electric tech. Like a hybrid vehicle, which hopefully leads to reduce fuel costs, greater distances possible to travel in a plane.

Imagine if for take off and landing the pilot can fire up the existing jet engines, then whilst cruising fire up the electric engines and wind back the output from the jet engines (leading to a slower burn rate). You would still be using both, but you would have some additional boost from the electric engines. Put some lightweight solar panels on the roof of the plane, charging up the batteries while the plane sits on the tarmac and readies for taxi. Take the output of the existing engines and use it to charge the batteries in flight (like an alternator in a vehicle, but on steroids).

Of course, weight is the limiting factor of all of this. I am more thinking out aloud here, when it comes to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, I think anything (even a marginally small improvement) is a great step forward.

The future is looking great.

I think the large retail pharmacies definitely have the advantage here. They already do blister packs, which is not too far off from PillPack's solution. They can also provide other compliance solutions (eg. http://www.glowcaps.com/) that can relay information back to caregivers, among other things.

They would seem to have a few more hard to replicate advantages, a couple off the top of my head: It is probably easier for them to provide medications in form factors other than pills (eg. inhalers), and I would guess that most folks don't want two different sources for their drugs. If you happen to misplace your medication only a physical pharmacy is going to be able to cost effectively provide you medication on short notice.

I agree 100% with what you're saying. Do you have any ideas what can we do to improve the state of affairs? Sure, building better software, with better crypto is part of the way, but we need cultural/political/social change, and I have no idea how this should be approached. Most people don't care, sadly. How to make them care, before it's too late (i.e when changing the situation involves violence)? We know we have a problem (well, a lot of problems), I suggest we all try to think how to solve them.
Your expectations of Apple's market power are a bit inflated. Starbucks has not switched to ApplePay and neither has everybody else.

> "The male response to war is an evolutionary adaptation that clearly works for our species."

> "It's a left-wing version of the Christian right rejecting the theory of evolution," he says. "I mean the far left is also now rejecting the theory of evolution, which is just insane."

The left wing, whatever it's worth, is certainly not rejecting the theory of evolution. Just because men are evolutionarily predisposed to go to war doesn't mean that not wanting them to go to war is rejecting the theory of evolution. Evolution only shows us what is. (In the case of evo-psych, it's usually more like what may have been.) Meanwhile, it's our job to figure out what ought to be, and to defer to evolution on that point is nothing but intellectual laziness.

Just because men choose to go to war doesn't mean that they are not also victims of a social order that glorifies war and gives them a warped idea of what it means to be male. These can both be true. Politics always takes advantage of pre-existing psychological propensities, but it also reinforces them and reshapes them to its advantage over many generations. In fact, most questions in the form of "did X cause Y or vice versa?" in politics and sociology can be answered as "duh, it's a feedback loop."

Humans are subject to evolutionary pressures like any other life form. But one of the major differences between us and other animals is that we can recognize when our biology predisposes us to participate in evil, and counter it with our intelligence and strength of will.

If evolution is taking us places where we don't want to go, we have the intelligence and technology to give the middle finger to evolution and shape our own destinies. That includes telling young men that they no longer need to kill other men in order to be acknowledged as upstanding members of our society.

EDIT: An earlier version of this comment included the following rant, which was meant as an aside. But too many people seemed to think that it was my main point, so I'm moving it to the end.

> "I don’t put any political agenda into my work. I think the right wing tends to idolize soldiers—you can't talk about them critically in any way. The left wing went from vilifying them in Vietnam to seeing them as victims of a military-industrial complex." He laughs over the phone. "Both views of soldiers are just absurd."

It's funny how every time I hear someone say they have no political agenda, or that they are neutral, they almost always go on to devote the vast majority of their effort to criticizing the left wing. Maybe they secretly endorse the right wing, or maybe they think the right wing is not even worth criticizing. In either case, I find this fascinating.

>> but so far as I can tell nobody, at least in the hobby size quadcopter world, has done so

> It's not the motors that are the problem. They can spin freely any direction. It's programming the ESCs to be reversible.

True - poor wording on my part. And even the ESC programming is a "solved problem" - all the brushless RC cars run ESCs which understand how to run brushless motors in both directions.

So actually reversing the thrust is, as you say, already happening. What I've not seen (yet) is a controller board with software designed to use that ability to stabilise and safely land a quad with one motor out.
Well it could be interesting as a test architecture for a new logic family as long as you have wide memory.

The Manchester Baby was the first programmable electronic computer and was close to a single instruction computer. It can emulate the single instruction computer with 5 of its 7 instructions: load, subtract, store, skip if negative and jump. The two extra instructions were halt and relative jump.

I can readily acknowledge that some people made some amount of money on flashlight apps. I expect that research would indicate that it was in fact "very few people" and "very little money" (relatively speaking, at least; I'm sure it's so cheap to develop a flashlight app that practically any money would offset the cost).

As for your original point, I'll grant that you have a point, but I don't necessarily agree with it. I'm finding it hard to speculate about markets where I have no actual data, but my hunch is that the market for tower defense games is larger today than it was 5-6 years ago (i.e. I think the genre has grown more popular). I don't know whether that correlates with increased revenue for developers of tower defense games, or whether the number of games has outstripped the demand for them. Although I think it's fair to expect that there are a few developers making lots of money, and bunch of developers making a moderate amount of money (that may or may not offset the cost), and a bunch of developers making very little money. It turns out the App Store in general has a very steep revenue curve, with most of the money going to relatively few developers. But I think it's always had that curve, we just didn't used to have the data available to see it as well as we do today.

I think the more important question with regards to the App Store is not "how much money are developers making?", but "how easy is it for a new entrant to make money?". And I don't know the answer to this either, but I would be interested to find out.
Now if you decide to stay in the US your offspring will have the opportunity to develop the same skill!
> It never said it was the "the uber clojure IDE", not even used any words to this effect.

In the beginning it was clearly marketed as a clojure ide,
and if you look at the comments on HN at the time it's clear that it was perceived as such.

>"Catering too much to other languages"? What does that even mean? Did anybody signed to the parent that it would only be for his favorite language (the "uber clojure IDE" he dreamt?)? It was due to huge community demand that LT promised to support Javascript and Python too.

This is what broke it's back though. By trying to go with all languages at once they failed to focus on getting one right first. They should have added new ones later on.

>Nobody stopped the parent or anyone else from using something existing "that actually works" or creating something even better.

I've heard it many times over the years in the clojure world, "I'd start on an editor, but it looks like LT is going to be exactly what I want so I'll just wait." Only after its failure was apparent things like Gorilla-Repl popped up.

> including having concretely inspired the Swift playground features (as the Swift designer admitted).

I'd like a source for that. LT is directly inspired by the work of Bred Victor who _worked for apple_ and Swift has at least one of the Factor devs, which is a highly dynamic language with a live coding environment.

> As if it was all a scheme to make $300K off of kickstarter.
He made a lot more than that on Kickstarter, and has some Venture capital as well iirc.

Chris has a history of half finished unmaintained projects, so especially with his past I'd be suspicious.

Eve is the same, it promises to make programming mainstream but storing your UI in a Datalog DB is a huge mess. DL is great, but the stuff he does with it is just horrid.

SecOps mission is: prevent, detect, respond.

Yes, outright prevention is important. Yet proper centralized log collection and intelligence helps with all three missions, including prevention.

Proper logging allows you to identify known-good behavior patterns and outlying anomalies. With profiles in place, one can automate blocking of reconnaissance and probes, not just blocking known vulnerabilities.

The difference here is f2p vs p2w. p2w mean Pay to Win. There are many P2W FPS type games where you can buy weapons that give you an edge over those without those weapons.

In some cases, you can 'unlock' these weapons by earning in game credits, but often the amount of grinding required to get there equates to months of game time.

In DOTA2, LOL, and TF2 the micro-transactions are generally restricted to cosmetic / vanity items. These items offer zero competitive advantage.

Given you're fighting with actual, successful game developers as well as adopting a take-em-all-on style with everyone else I'm not sure you want to be clear.
Having been in for 20 years now, I definitely agree with Junger, there is an innate element in young men trying to prove themselves. I think YCombinator appeals to a similar desire.

I was performing an autopsy yesterday when the med student, the photographer, and the assistant started talking about guns. Their gusto was impressive. I felt no need to partake, but I think that was attributable, at least in part, to the fact that I have far more experience with weapons than any of them. But I acquired those experiences by satisfying the same desire they, to some extent, haven't. How do you break that chicken-egg problem?

Alternate rites of passage, I would think. We need more of those. Is there a way to facilitate young men helping on start-ups earlier in their careers? Maybe before college?
