Yet there are a few small interface tweaks and additional features that can drastically improve our experience while browsing through items and comments which this extension implements. Hopefully, in due course, a few of these tweaks can be implemented by Hacker News themselves. Refined Hacker News was made by me during my study-breaks and free time.

Rodrigues contacted the Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office, which launched an investigation into the fossil auction and requested legal help from French authorities. Brazilian authorities have already requested permission to inspect the fossils in France as they develop a plan for shipping them to a museum run by the Regional University of Cariri, in Ceará, Brazil, he says. Rayol expects the French court to order the return of the 46th fossil, the pterosaur, to Brazil at the conclusion of the forthcoming trial.

Earlier this year on 13 April, Tony Buzan, the inventor of the Mind Map, a world famous visual device for organizing thought and developing ideas, died at 76. A student of Psychology, English and Creative Thinking, Buzan first rose to prominence in the 1970s with the publication of a book about speed reading and a ten-part television series produced by the BBC, Use Your Head (1974), which promoted mental literacy in the same fashion that John Berger’s Ways of Seeing (1972) promoted visual literacy. At any point, a symbol on one map may be appropriated and used as a central image for a new map, forming a graphic ‘re-presentation’ (Buzan’s emphasis) of an inner mental network.

I’ve not actually spoken to many other developers about what their user needs are. But the way Google has gone about introducing it to the world betrays a huge lack of empathy for the poor sods who have review standards, for other browsers, for users, and for the broader Web community. But Google have presented it in such an arrogant way – and with no user research – that I’m getting afraid of what they’ll do next.

An important factor in the efficient cleavage of substrates bound to cell surfaces, such as the A antigens on the RBCs, is the ability of the enzyme to associate with the cell surface. The combination of high substrate activity and affinity for the RBC surface makes our enzymes very efficient in the removal of A antigens from RBCs in whole blood samples. In addition to their use in RBC conversion we plan to test the use of these and related enzymes in the removal of antigens from other important cell surfaces and tissues.

I picked popular open source projects from OpenCollective, and selected the yearly income data from each. On donations alone, open source is sustainable (fairly within industry standards) in a sweet spot: when a popular project, with a sufficiently small team, knows how to gather significant funding from a crowd of donators or sponsor organizations. Yet, many of the open source projects they showcase on their website are below poverty line regarding income from donations.

Japan leads the world in offering paid leave for fathers, but few take advantage of it, according to a new report by UNICEF based on legal entitlements from 2016. One of the authors of the report, Yekaterina Chzhen, a social policy specialist at the UNICEF Office of Research, said that even in Nordic countries where it is much more acceptable for men to take leave to be with children, instituting such changes takes time. The United States stands out for being the only country on the list of nations, drawn from the members of the OECD and the European Union, not to offer paid leave for mothers or fathers.

Here’s what I do know: Open source and data produces better results than proprietary methods. Open Source Pharma, an organization devoted to building on existing initiatives to develop an alternative, comprehensive, open-source pharmaceutical system, is leading the way. While it’s tempting to villainize Pfizer, which announced in 2018 it was ending all its efforts to develop new Alzheimer’s drugs because they weren’t “promising” [read profitable] enough, it is just taking advantage of a broken patent system that rewards broken, proprietary intellectual property (IP) methods.

With the government on the defensive after a day of violent clashes between protesters and the police, the president of Hong Kong’s legislature on Thursday agreed to delay by at least two days consideration of a contentious bill that would allow extraditions to mainland China. Tens of thousands of demonstrators opposed to the bill surrounded the Legislative Council building on Wednesday and prevented lawmakers from meeting as planned to move the legislation on an accelerated schedule toward a vote next week. Almost all the protesters dispersed overnight, and an uneasy and perhaps temporary calm returned to the streets of Hong Kong on Thursday.
