> Odeh has watched this idea transform his students’ behavior over the course of the school year: “I’ve seen students in the program in the hallway pulling their fellow students away from the start of a fight, just repeating and reminding them, ‘Warrior energy, warrior energy.’ ”

This was the most significant bit for me. Getting their thinking and behavioral pattern to change and creating a social enforcement around it. Inarguably, this is what school should be about; because so many kids do not get the right kind of nurturing they need at home, and lead destructive broken lives as a result, only perpetuating things further in their own children, and so on.

That is, if the Chinese government was short-sighted enough to tax it at their current rates.

I can't imagine that they don't see the benefit to the laissez-faire economy. They just can't admit that there's a benefit, it goes against the party line. If they didn't see the benefit I'd have to believe they'd be doing more to capture those assets.
If you're going to make a request for a feature, you're asking someone else do a lot of work that we can assume they have not, until now, thought worthwhile.

So why are you asking? What existing methods have you used to try to accomplish what you want? What will this give you that you can't accomplish by some other means?

Why do you think it's worth the time and effort?

For example, why can't you just bookmark the older posts?
We should say that these data found out to be very accurate if to look at our C++ tools users platform and areas distribution. It matches for 100%
A few short years from now Qualcomm won't actually produce anything. Instead it'll just license their patents.

Yet another company that won't actually "make" stuff. Eventually it is all going to come crumbling down.
Write a book.

While it appears to be an "activity" rather than a "skill", I believe it is a skill.

My recommendation is write on something which you know well; most probably in finance as you appear to be most experienced in this field. It will be even better if you can make it programming oriented, as there are a dearth of programming books specific to specialized domains.

1. Writing well is something which sets apart great technical people from the good technical people.

2. Writing is much more difficult than it sounds. It requires much more clarity of thought than when you are working. At work, some things may be obvious to you - only when you write about it do you think about the fundamentals of a domain.

3. Depending on your goals and the medium of publishing, it may teach you something else - like HTML or Latex, for example. It may also lead you to explore options for self-publishing a book, which can be a good skill later on.
Nobody is Omniscience. Maybe you are a good coder and you can build a new system all by yourself. Most of good cordes, have not good verbal skills, or financial skills, and they can't join into an incubator or find an angel or ventur capital.
I think I have read similar thoughts as an explanation for anime characters having so few details compared to their surroundings.

Since the web was never intended to be viewed in a terminal, I stand by my position.
My father researched semiconductors at Cornell his entire career. One time he told me of a way he and his colleagues envisioned producing semiconductors that would have radically shrunk the cost of solar panels. After months of research, they found that the physical realities simply did not permit the hypothesis to function.

Dead end.

In the eyes of Congress, this whole affair was a waste of money, but for every scientist with the same idea, it means one less path to waste time and money on.
I'm constantly amazed by people who consider the ability to use Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, Browserify, etc. a "skill". I'm sorry, but to me, that's like being proud of having learnt to use that new washing machine.

More on topic:

> With Webpack you can declare a simple config file to define your build process.

Your Webpack config file is actually a Node module that happens to export a valid configuration object. It even allows your config to depend on a preprocessor (like Babel or CoffeeScript, see [1]).

By the way, if you want to have a "dev" and "production" config which are both based on a "common" config, have a look at [2] (it's nothing fancy, just deep object merge that concats arrays, basically).

It's debatable whether ARM can keep up with custom cores. Both the A15 and A57 designs have been underwhelming from a performance per watt point of view. The A57-based Snapdragon 810 has suffered from thermal issues: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/04/in-depth-with-the-sna....

Samsung has not yet used their own core, but their custom 64-bit ARM core is at an advanced stage of development: http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/anton-shilov/samsungs-...

Qualcomm is big, but Intel, Apple, and Samsung are all targeting custom cores in this space, and they may reasonably feel like doubling-down on their LTE technology and not trying to compete in that space.
Is Linux Better Than OS X? GNU, Open Source and Apple in History
The first thing that came to mind was Beezid. Basically we'll end up with countless teams of researchers attempting to solve problems and only a tiny fraction of them being paid for their time.

I agree with the article and propose that we should be doing the exact opposite - finding a way to fund more garage tinkerers. Just add up the risk of failure in tech (at least 90%), the fact that so much of our daily workday is broken up into frivolous minutia, and that researchers spend on the order of half their time fundraising. It should be obvious that the problem is underemployment, and that the way to remedy that is to go from top-down to bottom-up organizational structures. In other words, recognize the dignity of work and not just the financial outcome.
It should be noted that gov't funded research at universities doesn't necessarily go into the public domain and can still be patented:

Good points, as always.

> None of those features (except sealed ADTs, which really aren't necessary) is missing from Kotlin. The set of Scala features Spark is using is pretty much identical to Kotlin.

I didn't mention implicit conversions, but that's one area where Scala has taken the high risk high reward path. If you look a bit further down on the linked Spark page you'll see the conversions defined [1]. I'd say Spark's style guide is more geared toward Scala consumers and not necessarily library authors (i.e. if you know what you're doing have at it; otherwise keep to a strict subset).

Basically, in aggregate Scala's feature set is incredibly powerful; that power (despite the complexity, tooling challenges, and slow builds) is what draws dsl authors to Scala.

When IBM throws down an absolute boatload of cash on a project written in Scala, by proxy Scala benefits. Right off the bat there are de facto 3,500 new Scala developers (since the initial IBM Spark team will of course be learning Scala). Furthermore, it's not like competitors aren't aware of this, Spark automically becomes more of a "big deal" as a result, which cannot help but be a boon for Scala.

As for other JVM languages, agreed, Clojure has its own supply of awesome, though the lack of (built-in) static types are a no-op here. Groovy, meh, seems to be on a downtrend, I suspect non-immutable-by-default dynamic languages (except of course, javascript) will continue to fall out of favor.

Now, Kotlin, it's a nice language. If they can deliver on near Java build times, might just be the Java killer that Scala will never be, or at least not in its current design (where, as you rightly say, there is often more than one way to do the same thing).

Let's see how things play out over the next 3-5 years, JVM alternative language landscape is diverse and evolving quickly, good times now and great times ahead...

Tending Your Mind's Garden
Agree. There have been several vulns in the fringes of QEMU device emulation code before but typically in lesser used devices (floppy etc). OTOH it's very common to use CDROM emulation to install systems and I'm sure there are plenty of admins who leave the ISO exposed to the guest "just in case".
Looks more like a cool piece of architecture. The "tech" isn't outlandish. Nifty though.

I don't quite see the logic here. What does the medial professional gain from letting you die to try save someone else?

If there is nothing to gain (no financial reward, or reputational bonus, or so on) or there is but they have the appropriate morals to turn it down, then they aren't going to risk the nagging of their own conscience and/or looking bad by letting you die.

If there is something to gain (and they are mentally capable of letting themselves take advantage of that) then it is going to happen whether you are a registered donor or not. If they can convincingly let you die without recompense they can hide your organs in the paperwork so it doesn't look like a non-donor organ has intentionally been used.

So whether or not you are screwed in a situation where this discussion is relevant is not at all determined by whether or not you are registered as a donor. By choosing not to donate you are not controlling any such situation in the way you hope you are.

There is the grey area where, for example, you have a 20% chance of survival but with the transplant someone else has a 60% chance - then things get a but more tricky depending on your paranoia level, though IMO the chance of that is rather small (the chance of getting hit by a bus on your way home from work or shot by some loon in a movie theatre is so much higher that it doesn't make sense to be committing time to thinking about this) and to be honest I'd probably not mind all that much if it did happen... Then again some might discount my opinions here because many don't seem to understand my reasoning in the following point of view: If I were in a permanent vegetative state or riddled with dementia or similar I'd gladly shuffle and donate my organs to help several others (who still have a chance of some desirable quality of life) on the way out. The only thing stopping me registering as "FFS just let me go when I get close to that sort of state, because I'm no longer me and there is no point throwing time and money at keeping the husk that is no longer me going" is that there is no legal way of doing so.
To those downvoting me. Are you from another planet? On this one China is just about to incorporate Russia in about 10 years. Buy railway-connected stock, I am serious.
There are a couple of resources listed in the end. So we've gathered the information from reddit surveys, stackoverflow, our own surveys (with more than 5000 respondents), job ads, various language popularity indexes like Tiobe.
Also depends who accounts for that 15%. Rich who won't mind? Poor who may have trouble finding a united voice? Or bourgeois?
I know a lot of people who use Arch. I myself used Arch for about 10 years. Everyone I talk to has glowing reviews of it, and they've never had any issues.

I stopped using Arch about 3 years ago after my system became unbootable after an update. It was no the first time. In the past, I would be fine reading update notes and fixing the issue. But since I started troubleshooting servers at work, I have zero patience for doing it at home.

One other annoyance that comes with rolling releases is that you should update more often, to avoid making bigger (sometimes conflicting) changes to your system. You end up reading release notes more often. I could turn on automatic updates, but I've been bitten by that in the past.

Arch also encouraged me to tinker, and I was much more likely to make breaking changes to my system than I am now just running Ubuntu. If I had the time/energy to try out new distros at home, I would probably try Nix or something similar, that emphasizes rollback capability.
Glad that I use a Windows phone - I get less of these annoying messages as most people do not bother to make a Windows app anyway (at least at first). And just to be clear, I will not install an app even if available. I like minimal clutter in my phone and uninstall almost everything except maps, the browser and those related to basic smartphone functionality (e.g. camera).
I still use RSS feeds from people's blogs and some news sites. And Twitter. I find a regular general news weekly such as The Economist is good too, and more measured than daily news bursts.
Not sure why you got down voted, the background is basically text camouflage.

Why not? The government can easily, easily pick up the tab for clinical trials, which amount to pennies compared to the amount it is shelling out in prescription drug costs via Medicare. It already does, to a great extent, and it's so heavily involved in the process it seems natural to make them eat the costs.
They are in fact, related.
The Linux Distro's are OEMs.
the larger ones happen to be more responsive OEM's than the OEM's on the android side.

But there are plenty of crappy, not-updated-that-often linux distros that strand users too!

Just like in android, on GNU/Linux you are dependent on how good your OEM is, and what they provide you in terms of a security update mechanism/times.
The problem with this type of wealth redistribution is that the poor are often consumers of the same products and services served by min wage jobs.
This is one of many reasons I support unconditional basic income. It allows labor to be accurately priced in the market, without raising cost to the poor.
But we'd make this a condition of the prize, that the drug would go into the public domain upon victory, exactly to avoid the disgusting patent.

I think animations are the one of the worst things to happen to modern webui. They are almost always misused.
I don't really agree with the divide as stated here - using Browserify does not imply a need for Grunt/Gulp/new build tool of the week. I would say that npm scripts + Browserify is enough for a surprising number of cases.

If what you really need is "type a couple short words on the command line and have a thing happen", npm can handle that without bringing in something heavyweight like Grunt or Gulp.

Ask HN: Any ideas about low amount money investing?
Hello,

I'm a poor EU-based geek. I have a small amount of money in a bank account (~12k EUR) that I won't be needing for next 12 months. A saving account gives me 0,045% (!!). Basically, I'm loosing money (bank fees, inflation, etc.).

Since I don't need that money for the next 12 months, is there any low risk investment that could have an acceptable ROI (~5%) ?

Also, if I wanna learn more about investment in general, where do I start?

Ideas, thoughts, comments and flames are welcomed :-)

>It's certainly not the key to getting a game on every device. I can't think of one browser game that people play on their devices. Even Words with Friends, the simplest 2D game you could think of, is not used from a browser - most people run the native app for that.

Because of performance, but streaming games solve this problem. Full screen browser wouldn't be any different than native game client.

But we're not talking about founders lying about their start-ups chances (the lottery ticket is a winner). We're talking about founders lying about the present situation of their start-ups (not being transparent about financial health of the company). If, like you say, both parties involved understand the risk, why can't founders disclose more?
So, do you always do what is obviously right? I certainly don't, and I think most people are like me. Being reminded to not do things that are obviously wrong, even when I know they're wrong, actually does help keep me from doing them.

I have a problem with "Hungry makes me stupid". If my blood sugar gets low, my judgment slips. And the first thing that slips is the judgment that I need to stop and eat before I do Just This One More Thing. A large number of people in my life are under standing orders to make me stop whatever I'm doing and eat something if they see my judgment impaired. Simple, stupid, obvious. And missing it is pretty much hardwired in me.

Intel: You're laid off and not eligible for re-hire
The reason you're getting downvoted a lot is that HN is pretty hostile to snake oil and pseudoscience, and alkaline water is a poster child for both.

I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think that a registered medical device does not mean that it works - just that it's not harmful. There have not been any studies showing alkaline water is beneficial for anything other than possibly slowing bone loss.

I've read a lot of the marketing literature around water alkalizers, and whether or not they actually do something beneficial, I can promise you that the marketing materials are full of intentionally deceptive claims (like "registered medical device"), and discredited theories, and just plain gibberish that depends on wowing the reader with a lot of science-sounding words.

If it's not snake oil, then it's a real shame it's sold using snake oil sales techniques.

Media Source Extensions[1] may be an option. It allows you to feed bytes to a video element, sourcing those bytes from wherever you'd like. There is a demo[2] that literally opens a video and split it in to parts arbitrarily. Chrome, IE, and Safari all have support for MP4 with MSE.

> Production servers have no business having the .git directory anywhere.

I agree with you in principle, but in practice this is not always possible, there are situations when having a git checkout in production is better than nothing.

I've seen WordPress sites where a semi-technical administrator updates plugins and themes directly in production: with that git checkout I would at least be able to track the changes and pull them in a dev or staging environment.

This could be the first step to a saner deployment workflow for those sites, where production gets changes that have been tested and validated elsewhere.

I agree with others here who recommend learning how to code.

But instead of chasing the latest trends in frameworks, I would recommend learning ruby on rails instead. It's a mature framework that is still very popular. Learning it instills good principles that you carry over when learning future frameworks.

It's written for absolute beginners. Work through the entire book, and you'll have a good foundation for web development.

This would be good, but the proposal seems ambiguous at best:

> NO AWARDS TO COMPETITORS LIKELY TO REAP FINANCIAL BENEFIT FROM INNOVATION.—The Director of NIH may not, with respect to an innovation, award a prize under this section to any individual or entity that has a vested financial interest in any product or procedure that is likely to be developed or marketed because of such innovation.

One way to ensure that would be to require that any winning or better submitted innovations come with a royalty-free patent license. But

> (i) Intellectual Property.—
“(1) PROHIBITION ON THE GOVERNMENT ACQUIRING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.—The Federal Government may not gain an interest in intellectual property developed by a participant in a prize competition under this section without the written consent of the participant. “(2) LICENSES.—The Federal Government may negotiate a license for the use of intellectual property developed by a participant in a prize competition under this section.”.

Clearly no such thing is mandated.
