That's not fair criticism. Greenpeace has been one of the strongest campaigners against coal plants since the 80s.

They do campaigning against nuclear power as well, for example open pit uranium mining and waste disposal processes, which might be the source of the confusion.
Don't use Gnu Smalltalk, it is a huge disservice to Smalltalk. The main selling point of Pharo/Squeak is that it is a live interactive developing experience. You don't get that with GNU Smalltalk.
You forgot Rand Paul, R-KY.
I've seen the author (Noel Walsh) talk on Scala a few times and he's a great teacher. And also good at showing how far you can get with just ADTs, structural recursion and objects as namespaces for your functions. This, in my view, represents a great, functional, subset of Scala. (Avoid normal classes, mutable state, etc.)

I don't think you can boot the machine to login as Guest without a password if you have FileVault enabled.
I'd want an Apple account so that I can buy stuff. Maybe I could get by with open-source apps, but that would be a pain. Even if I take Tim Cook's speech at face value, there's the catch that Apple knows who I am. If Apple really wanted to make a point about being privacy-friendly, they would allow account creation via Tor, and accept Bitcoins.

This was common on the Amiga. E.g. tab completion in the shell can bring up a pre-filtered file requester.
Agree with that. Hell knows that I have spent more than eight hours in that game and still haven't been able to defeat a goblin invasion through a decently trained military. There are other ways though, I usually go the overly-complicated-lava-filled-valley-trap route.
Because these drugs are mostly monoclonal antibodies, you have to actually develop your own.
You can work out what the target is, but because the antibody has extremely high specificity for a specific target, and is high molecular weight, you can't just synthesise it, you need to grow it (An absolutely fascinating process in and of itself)

There have been examples of other drug companies targeting the same target as an existing high value monoclonal antibody drug, however I am aware of at least one example where the 'knockoff' monoclonal antibody actually had harmful effects compared with the original.

The only way you can actually copy the drug is to steal a cell from their lineage and produce your own
How Well Can You Hear Audio Quality?
I think the interviewer would be looking for you to show how you might implement string[::-1] as an algorithm - rather than how to invoke the existing string reversal algorithm in cPython.
How about asking to backup your data (which they ask anyway) and asking that the disk be wiped. There are no problems then.

Handing over your password means that there is practically no barrier for a technician to obtain all your data, all your private keys, etc. It only takes one guy with malicious intend to make your life miserable. Often, people also store their work related keys on their computers. So how about opening your company up for someone else?

The issue is that not all people are careful with that. And the code of conduct of Apple to just trust any technician 100% is completely wrong. Setting up a secure infrastructure means, you should assume that parts of it are already compromised. In that case, assume the technician is trying to obtain as much private data as possible, how can they still keep their customers safe?
This has been done for some time already via DKIM and DMARC, which anyone can configure.

I want to see the conjoint experiments your sofware engineer folks in marketing are doing. Would be magnificent, I'm sure.
It could work ten to twenty years after they put coding in to the primary school curriculum and change the definition of software engineer to "anyone who can code and thereby learn the ability automate some tasks".

You say this like you're unaware of NICE and the guidelines they publish.
There are proposed models that would reward a company for developing a drug for a specific purpose. It would allow them to recoup a part of their R&D up front. Rewards could be offered by the government, NGOs or insurance companies. Would also help with the development of drugs for rare conditions that are currently not worth the research costs.

Well, I was arguing with them for 10 Minutes. They tried to get my administrator password (because I use FileVault) and I refused. They wouldn't even look at the display issue (not software or data related) without the password.

In the end I just wiped the hard drive. They should've asked for that immediately.

I really don't understand why it has been chosen over S/MIME. Maybe they gave the money to that german guy who wrote it and now they don't want them to be completely wasted :)

I'm planning to read the Pentagon Papers sometime soon.

When I took high school American History, I thought it odd that we did not discuss vietnam in any way, despite that our textbook had good coverage of it.

I figured the reason was that most of our parents were vietnam vets - Fairfield, California is a military town.
And while technically unix, the command line tools which ship are so horribly out of date as to be almost unusable.... Try using sftp on a mac sometime, if you enjoy the sensation of bleeding from your eyes.
To take a random example, AstraZeneca has 50,000 employees and R&D centres around the globe. They produce a sucessful blockbuster drug every, say 5 years roughly? So you could say that development costs are on the high side of high.

Also, if you had those mouths to feed and you had no cast iron plan of when your next blockbuster was coming you would seek to maximize short term profit also.

I don't want to defend profiteering but I don't see the issue being all that black and white.
As long as Apple heavily relies on closed source technology I'm fairly skeptical about their commitment.
Additionally being a US based company all it takes is a friendly government agent showing up and I'm sure they'll hand over stuff without putting up too much of a fight
I'd also guess that they do use cookies for their website and pay for web based advertising (thus being an enabler). Siri also makes me rather uncomfortable.

Don't get me wrong, better privacy is an important issue and if Apple sees it as a potential competitive advantage that's pretty good (as it'll force others to improve there as well). I'll be very interested in seeing how much they push this as a general strategy.
[sadly I'd argue it's not really all that great of an idea because if push comes to shove most people will readily give up privacy for convenience (imo)]

New Zealand's Pharmac has generally been quite successful in keeping costs down, which is of course why it's under constant attack by the US State Department and is likely to be required to be effectively destroyed when New Zealand signs up to the TPPA.
You're right, it is more complicated than I assumed. I use Chrome/Linux where nearly 100% of videos are served VP9. According to this [0] 61-69% of browsers support VP9, but I cant find a good source as to what percentage of youtube is actually served with VP9.

However, in the last year 25,000,000,000 hours of VP9 video have been served on youtube [1]. Maybe this is a minority of web video, but its hardly dead.

I actually recently landed a position in the kind of environment you describe. I was told the idea is to have a full developer/engineer as part of the team, rather than needing to have that org/team always reaching out to the actual engineering group for their kind of work. Sounds interesting so far. Going to see where it takes me.

50 A/B Split Tests to Optimize Your Site to Perfection
I think you can still boot from the network. If that's correct, then this whole thing gets ever more mysterious for me.
I am very impressed. The voice recognition seems significantly faster and more accurate than Google's. The interactive back and forth with the mortgage calculations was the coolest part, I think. How are you able to access population and location data that quickly? It feels like it must be stored locally.
If what Tim Cook said could be easily discounted as puffery, it would be largely ignored by the Google fanboys. But the fact that you don't even have to believe what Tim Cook says or even trust him, because Apple's business model doesn't benefit from the perverse incentive that Google's does, is driving them crazy. And no iAd doesn't count, that's a service for third party developers to monetize their own apps. There are no ads in Apple's first party apps. It's also been criticized by advertisers because of Apple's protection of customer privacy. http://adage.com/article/digital/amazon-apple-catch-a-break-...

It's an interesting twist for HN, which is normally ready to take strong pro-privacy positions in the wake of the Snowden leaks under the premise of potential abuse by governments.
That's a whole extra discussion - the pressure they get put under by families and groups to approve very expensive and relatively ineffective drugs is immense. Meanwhile people are having to take charity collections to pay for MRI machines.
I'm completely cool with you knowing what queries I used to give you a search engine referral. Unfortunately google was the respondent in a lawsuit by someone who objected to that.

My gripe is that you can use analytics to discover my personal traits.

For example today I felt great joy that Starbucks was playing many of my favorite songs - some that I had not heard in years. How did they know? I always pay cash!

But then I speculated that they're logging my computer's MAC ID then somehow using that as a key, with the eventual result that "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Black Seeds starts playing.
The voice recognition and speech parsing is incredible. Combining it with some calculations and interactivity is over the top!
And why spend billions developing a new drug when you can just tweak an existing one that's about to fall out of patent and then bribe doctors, or fund dubious studies, to encourage them to use the "new" patent-protected one? If patents = billions then people will optimise for patents, not cures.
I’d love to have some end-user control to throttle tabs’ CPU/memory. In particular, if I have a background tab open that I haven’t brought to the front in a few hours (or longer), I pretty much don’t want it to get any CPU cycles at all until I explicitly look at it again, and usually I also want to have its open TCP connections closed, etc.
Oh I know! I realised that later on when I reviewed the code but I gave up worrying about demonstrating the speed of DOM access* when it started to crash my browser! So I've left this version here for posterity.

Smooth same page navigation in Meteor
At a startup I worked for several months as a university intern, I ended up (because of my location) working out of the office with the inside sales team instead of engineering. At first it felt like I was in the wrong place, but as I got into the swing of things and really figured out how sales reps were spending their time, I realized that there was a ton of manual labor just related to bookkeeping and tracking leads that was repeated for everyone they contacted.

I asked my direct boss's permission to be officially moved to the sales team, and spent most of that summer developing a custom CRM that facilitated the flow the sales staff used. When it was finished, the average number of leads contacted per associate increased 40% basically overnight, dramatically affecting the growth rate of the company (and the sales staff absolutely loved me).

Any software developer could have built what I did, and had the company realized what they were missing I'm sure they would have got one of their "real" developers to spend a couple of weeks and probably put something together better than what my intern-self was capable of. The value I added in that situation wasn't my engineering prowess, but rather my ability to see exactly what was needed and build the right tool for the job.
Totally agree with you. I was just about to write the exact same thing. I've had problems with dell hardware, hardware raid controllers, and hundreds of ssds. The most stable systems I've worked on use lsi sas controllers, perhaps software raid, and Intel/crucial ssds in fault tolerant distributed systems. Therefore, I also question if it's etsy's tendency to use non distributed datastores, with less effective or complex fault tolerance makes ssd failure a bigger deal? Failure is inevitable, and should be expected at every level.
I do not plan on living with my parents forever. Basically I can either pay like $1000++ per month to rent, which would be money I never see again, or if you have saved up money like I have, I can get a loan and buy something and spend about the same paying down the mortage. Money well spent, because at some point (like 25-30 years) I will own the apartment outright. Of course I will probably not remain in that apartment for the next 25 years, but it is basically an investment. There are only so many places to live in central Oslo, and the demand is always going up. And even if the market crashes and I lose a lot of money, the prices of all the other apartments will be lower as well, so I would be able to buy another place at an equally lower price.

Loan interest is very low at the moment, around 2.7-2.9%, and to counter everyone loaning way too much, you need to have 15% of the loan sum in order to qualify. I can expect to pay maybe $320k for a apartment in Oslo, depending on how big and where it is. $320k would typically be >50m2 somewhat central, or 30-40m2 very central (those go for even more).
I will need to have about $48k in cash to be able to get a loan at that price.

I also have some student loans, but I have basically my whole life left to pay them off at a very low interest, so I pay like $154 every two months or something I think. It is the best interest loan I am ever going to get, so there is no point just paying it down immediately even if I have the cash for it.

TL;DR: Paying for a mortage is better than paying someone else rent, and I do not want to live in my parents basement forever.
Let me answer with some examples from other popular niche forums:

"Ask accountingnews: Is it possible to build an accounting firm where everyone is an accountant?"

"Ask shockedhackers: Is it possible to build an electrical business where everyone is an electrician?"

"Ask housebuilders: Is it possible to build a home construction business where everyone is a carpenter?"

etc.

At some very very small scale, sure, but usually it's because of necessity, not because it's a good way to do things. Specialization is awesome! Having people in your company that are very very good at particular aspects of your business is a huge advantage over all the poor saps that are trying to wing it with a bunch of folks that don't really know what they're doing when it comes to marketing, sales, design, copywriting, accounting, law...
If I'm reading the source correctly, `clojure.xml/parse` consumes the entire XML document. However, its successor `clojure.data.xml/parse` is lazy. The techniques described in the blog post should work with a lazy sequence (lazy tree), so you can stream data in that doesn't fit into memory. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/11215430/239678 and http://clojure.github.io/data.xml/#clojure.data.xml/parse.
Sure. Make up a name and address and load it with gift cards bought with cash. Done.
Starts with a culture shift : society should care about its citizens health. It's just not the case in many countries, especially in the US. I guess the maths are simple : keeping more people alive and healthy is less profitable for the people involved..

AFAIK robocopy doesn't do delta-sync of file contents, only of a group of files. So if I want to copy a 50GB file where 10MB has changed, it'll still copy the whole 50GB again.

I would love to be wrong.
This is a good one! Thanks for sharing!
As a Swede this seems completely medeival to me and I have troubles understanding how anyone can support such a law.

But since it is the US we're talking about, I'm not surprised. The US just have 1 additional reason why I wouldn't even consider moving there.
And yet, the 2nd amendment only covers our right to keep and bear, not our right to the business apparatus necessary to make them practical and affordable in modern times.
I believe it was suggested that an ideal election would be one in which Paul and Sanders run opposed, not on the same ticket.
I'm an example in the sense that I run a company all by myself, where my service is custom software development, but I also do all my own sales, web design and so on.

It would not be hard for someone like myself to team up with several colleagues.

Even if someone devotes their day to sales, if they are selling software it is helpful for them to have some experience as coders.

"Small team. Move fast." An Apple Developer Evangelist visited Working Software one day at the time we had about ten employees. She was overcome with jealousy at our ability to quickly respond to changing market conditions. (At Apple, every new product, and many new releases of existing product require sign-off on an 'Engineering Requirements Specification' or 'ERS'. While the ERS is generally a good idea, at Working Software I could just say 'Hey Dave I have this idea for a new product - OK if I write it?')

Where you find more-specialized staff is commonly with larger companies. A very serious problem I see is that marketing people don't have the first clue about web design.
Smarkets, London, UK. Sorry, onsite only.

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. A small, agile, and fast-growing team, who recently broke £1 billion in lifetime trades on our platform.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automated testing. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Cool! Even if a demo is great, with the complexity to setup I would prefer screenshots as well to show some standard use-cases.

On the technical side: You should really upgrade Symfony to version 2.7 (new LTS), the 2.1 you use is not supported aynmore. In the demo (production environment) you should hide the webtoolbar for security reasons.
Ask HN: Anyone know where I can find Wordpress devs with recommendations/reviews
I have an existing site that needs someone who is very well versed in Wordpress, optimizations and caching. Basically looking for someone to go through the site and fix up the code, clean/tune the caching etc. Also looking for recommendations on how to improve the performance/loading etc.

It does generate profit and I really need a professional eye/opinion before something terrible happens / biting off more than I can chew.
The question is then: If lead contacts went up by 40%, and if sales worked on commission, did you get a cut of the sales increase that happened due to your work?
Trying to perform a sequential operation on a parallel collection will not go well, but other than that I haven't seen anything.
That's an interesting name choice that might make it hard for me to remember in the future, do you happen to know why they chose it?
