This is a really important point, having seen both public and private systems I think it's quite valid.
In this case I probably would not want a head of orthopaedics to treat a relatively straightforward leg break- I would want a practitioner who has a significant amount of recent experience in this area. The ER doctor likely sees hundreds of these a year, so may actually be the best person. Of course if my case is particularly challenging, I want a consultant with a significant amount of experience- but it doesn't seem right for that person to pushing their skills to the highest bidder, regardless of patient need.
I also don't want a steak with my meal, nor do I care for a fancy waiting room, as they aren't going to fix my leg.
Switch to Firefox and only use fully reviewed/approved addons if you're serious about this. I just put a ported chrome extension through the full Firefox add on review process (thanks to web extensions they're easy to port now), and those guys rejected my extension twice because they couldn't replicate my minified code from my dependencies to the exact byte.
Chrome web store doesn't care what I upload and push down to my users. I've had numerous requests from spammers looking to buy my extension based on the number of users and their geography. I guess once they buy an extension they push malware down to the users, so even if you can trust the extension developer or source now, you can't keep that trust up indefinitely.
Different people think at different speeds[1], so if we really want to judge someone based on what we see as a reactive action, we'd need to measure their "thinking speed" first to get a full picture.
With cricket the player's intent is not considered unlike many other sports and in courtroom trials. So looking at the most minute detail (e.g. the snickometer, the checks if the ball made a "snick" sound passing the bat, indicating contact) makes sense to the sport.
Fair point, recent updates to Meteor (1.3) have made it much easier to use with the rest of the JS ecosystem (e.g. using react with meteor is as easy as using the default view library).
The reason you have all of this boilerplate setup with react is because it's only one small part of the equation, so you need to use and (ideally) understand a bunch of other libraries and tools to build something, hence these epic tutorials.
That's probably not that fair to lead the page with - if you read the rest of the wikipedia article you'll see that he founded Dialog in 1984 when he was 21 and it went public 10 years later. It looks like he made some major mistakes later on and during the dot-com crash, but building and running a multi-billion dollar company for 16 years is better than 99.9% of HN users achievements.
I wouldn't chalk off Powa's failure to one person.
bang on - I often ask my friends who are going through hard times with work or life, if they would consider moving to europe or further afield, among the poorer ones (aka 93% of the UK population) it's not even an option they would consider
The targets for this malware are laypeople with enough funds to pay the fee but not enough to go after the creators. Hypothetically, if a national government or other agent with sufficiently deep pockets were infected they would first attempt to crack it, failing that they would go after the creators directly- they would not pay the fee.
So implementing weak crypto dramatically lowers the risk of prosecution or worse for the attackers.
wow, literally every comment is about facebook login
seriously guys come on
I really like this! It seems your "mobile first" design is "mobile only", you might want to make gifs show up as their actual size on bigger screens, the square chops them off at the sides sometimes
Are you going to use the likes to show me personalised gifs?
