still waiting for some of your insight here, but, hey, this is just a guess but i think you're full of shit... if not, please share how the US funds the world's drug research. 18 days and nothing... guess all your other posts are crap too. this one hasn't really changed any opinions


I also disagree with adventured here, but your response is not useful.


the ironical part is that being from a 3rd world country, this isn't really an option for you, is it? the other ironical part? now iOS is priced according to your disposable income... isn't it ironic, don't you think?


not 100% sure, but i think you'd be singing a different tune if these glasses hade came out of apple. also, calling glasses dorky makes you one of those bullies everyone on here loves to hate. what's wrong with glasses?


>> not 100% sure, but i think you'd be singing a different tune if these glasses hade came out of apple.

You think wrong, unless I was paid to promote them.

People wearing them look like @ssholes and dorky. Of course IMO, some might find them sexy. I don't http://hungrytravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bluetoot...


i've made several big websites in Umbraco. It's very powerful, but has a bit of a learning curve for both developers and editors. At the moment, both the programming model and the UI are pretty out of date


I know that they are working on a new UI for the backend.

How is the programming model out of date? I am looking at getting into it via the new v6.0. It has ASP.NET MVC support but the CMS itself is still WebForms.


I worked a little in Umbraco on some content on existing installations. I guess if you run a Windows server, it's a good alternative. But I'd recommend ModX or Joomla before that.


i'm sure he is. you however have named 0. makes you the biggest failure of all


preachy articules add no value. comments add a lot to a whole lot of articles, just not preachy ones


Ah, the irony. :)


keep on believing. you're the defender of freedoms after all


That's embarrassing. What does your glib, mostly obnoxious comment have to do with anything factual? You hate America so much you can't even give it credit for positive things that are factually accurate?


Sorry but america does not subsidise the health systems of the world , it just sad to see you argue so much when in all actuality your being fleeced tax payer wise & health insurance wise . Your health service doesn't really seem like its there to help most just the rich people.


i'm sorry, but i'm not embarrassed. please show me where your "mostly obnoxious comment" has anything to do with anyone. the usa does not subsidise world healthcare. get over yourself


I knew it was just a matter of time before American xenophobia came to HN.


I believe that the thesis was that health care companies make heavy investments in R&D that are only profitable because of very high prices in the US, and that these innovations probably wouldn't be available at the lower cost in other other countries without this profit center.

That's just a thesis. It's an interesting one, I'd be interested in reading some discussion of it, especially insightful comments backed with data.


i've worked at novartis. they spend 3 times as much on marketing than research. that's what's wrong with the whole deal


Kind of shocking but that's not even the biggest problem.

The first problem is the money they spend on buying laws, aka bribes, aka "lobbying" as the USA likes to call it. Corruption in its finest form. That's why they get perpetual patents;

The second problem - and I kind of assume that that falls under "marketing" expenses - is that they can basically bribe healthcare providers and doctors to use their products.

Result: Most expensive health care system in the world, by a large margin.


well that's the biggest load of shit i've ever read


ever worked with git and storyboards? quite the disaster once you're more than the sole developer


Exactly. Plus storyboards tend to lock you in, and moving around and constantly iterating to better and better nav schemes kind of goes out the window.
