Also, when kids (and especially babies) are drowning, it's usually not obvious. In adults when carbon dioxide levels increase past a threshold a lot of physically obvious manifestations begin, such as thrashing, driven by the autonomic system. And before then there'll often be coughing and other signs of distress, autonomic or otherwise. In small children this doesn't happen. Countless parents have literally watched their child drown before their very own eyes. A coworker almost lost a kid this way--the instant the kid accidentally inhaled water while playing in a hot tub, they immediately went lights out. Fortunately their other, older child was also playing in the hot tub and attentive. The parents had both briefly gone inside, proving the warning that it only takes seconds for tragedy to unfold.

I'm synthesizing here, but AFAICT a catatonic-like state is typical of small children in severe distress. (Anybody remember the Moth Radio Hour story about the man whose kid immediately went catatonic when they were surprised by burglars? IIRC, he was told this response was common of young children.) So if a baby suddenly inhales a large amount of water, they may immediately go from normal to non-responsive (possibly retaining muscle tone?), even though they're not yet physiologically drowning, and even though with lesser amounts of water they would normally cough and cry. This [lack of] behavior may be related, if indirectly, to the phenomenon of SIDS. An infant's physiology hasn't developed the various mechanisms to jump start respiration when something goes awry. (One unproven hypothesis behind SIDS is that an infant's breathing is partly moderated and even induced by their caretaker's breathing, such that if they can't hear, feel, or otherwise sense--some theories implicate carbon dioxide levels--another's breathing their own rhythm may be disrupted, or if disrupted less likely to resume. Thus co-sleeping may be better for infants, reducing SIDS risk, ceteris paribus--i.e. absent counter-indications, such as a parent who smokes or drinks.)

So with babies not only do you have to watch them to make sure they aren't presently, visibly drowning, you have to make sure (to some reasonable, mentally healthy degree) they couldn't possibly be drowning--i.e. they didn't or couldn't have inhaled water; that they're active, attentive, etc.
>What would you do? And if a hundred million dollars changes your approach to getting things done in a quick and reliable fashion, then why isn't it your standard approach?

Ordinarily you try to strike a balance between "exploration and exploitation". For a small project where success isn't that hugely important, the learning that a less conservative choice offers can be more heavily weighted.
> That's not the point.

Maybe not, but did you miss the bit in my post about FFI and GC? Have you actually tried to implement a non-trivial extension to a GC'ed language which needed to interface with C code?

EDIT: The point is not so much that it cannot be done -- the point is that it needs a human ("programmer") to do it. Which kind of defeats the point of "C-as-lingua-franca". Which, if you think about it C already kind of is, sadly. Any FFI currently in existence focuses on C already. What more do you want? ;)
No, I haven't read Taubes, I just have (and have had) friends across the entire spectrum of weight, height, fitness, etc. Some people can eat anything they want (including massive amounts of soda) and maintain a visible six pack with minimal exercise. Others in the same age range may have similar or better diets and struggle just to stay below 250lbs. That alone suggests there's more to obesity than caloric willpower.
> Doctors walk around like gods in the hospital [...] The problem is that everyone is too afraid to correct the doctors when they make obvious mistakes.

This is a blanket statement that is untrue in my first-hand experience as a medical student. If you see a mistake is being made and can back up your opinion, you are treated with respect.

The problem is that medicine is very complicated and there are often not single 'correct' solutions. Given competing reasonable interpretations, the physician liable for the patient will (and should) make the final choice.

There is an alarming amount of anti-physician bias here. Physicians walk around like Gods? No, they walk around like people who generally have a very good clue and years of experience about what they are doing and are constantly attacked for issues outside of their control or completely outside of their patients' understanding, despite their best intentions and efforts.

That situation is choice, pure and simple. You appear to be some sort of web or database developer, or possibly a system administrator. You can afford to support a family.

The problem is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeping_up_with_the_Joneses

You forgo a lot to keep up with the Joneses. Family time gets cut.

If that's the choice you really wish to make, OK. If not, cut costs until you can live a different sort of life. Hints: entertainment, restaurants, high rent, excessive travel, single-use items, services, the expenses due to that extra job, etc.
What I want.. what I want is for people to stop accepting the world as it is just because it is in this set up in this particular configuration. I want people to realize that they can actually shape the world to fit their needs.

That is what I want.

This book tells a different tale, but the author is American:

Great book nonetheless.
While true, it’s not new information and likely has not eroded services for Texas consumer
I've used it to put video from web based video chat on top of a full screen video, while still keeping focus on the main video. I mainly browse with a whole bunch of tabs open instead of multiple windows, so it's useful to pull a video out of a page and be able to navigate away and continue watching instead of dragging to a new window which would take up more space and get lost more easily. I've also used it for checking docs while following video tutorials, or watching recorded classes while looking at assignment pages.
The people who brought us the F-35 want more money to build another new airplane? If the alternative is surrender, then I surrender without hesitation. The Air Force should just order fewer lattes, take a 20% budget cut, and do the best they can.
I agree, reddit should ban the white supremacy subreddits on principle alone; but they are also within their constitutional rights to do so.
It doesn't look like it has a decent blade, which is arguably the most useful thing one could carry around (aside from a pen, which the Tread also does not have).

This isn't my problem, but I've heard from people with hairy arms that metal banded watches are a nightmare because the links are constantly tearing out hairs. This could present the same problem.

Being a Leatherman product, it's probably going to be overpriced just for the basic links. Adding the watchface to make it somewhat usable all the time will probably push that price right into the stratosphere.

I'd like to take a closer look at it, but from what I see in their video, I would say pass.
The author makes some interesting points, and I think this is a valuable read. But I'd like to add that the author seems to be using a somewhat different definition of "maker" than what I'm familiar with. At least around Durham and SplatSpace (our local Maker/Hacker space), "maker" is seen in a very inclusive sense, and there's no sense of superiority associated with those who "create whole new things" vs those who "just tinker" and those who "teach" or "write", etc. In fact, we consider education to be one of our primary missions, and we do a lot of "stuff" around the space that's designed to simply share existing knowledge: "how to solder" workshops, "electronic kit building" workshops, "learn to 3D print" workshops, etc.

Our space also encompasses people whose interests range from paper-based arts and crafts, to knitting, to metalworking, to woodworking, to 3D printing, to hobby electronics, to amateur robotics, to software development, to netsec / pentesting, etc., etc., etc. We consider all of these people to be makers/ hackers in their own way.

This is the way I've always approached the Maker community and I feel like most of the other locals I know approach it the same way. Maybe this varies by geography though?
Unless you're injection-molding, casting, or forging links, I doubt they'd last more than a day or be actually able to e.g. Turn screws. PLA or even ABS isn't great for tool tips.
And, IIRC, the second part that makes it so worrisome is that the warrant holder can then go and use whatever evidence they find in other- or to start new- cases.
It's a watch band.
It's so sad that such great work can bring so many negative repercussions just because the project creator's decided to blatantly rip off Trello's assets.

The project would be under such a different light had they decided style it themselves... I think they're so much better than this.
But are you actually gaining productivity when fixing third party code? Or are you losing productivity? I would say you are paying back the gains you got from using the library in the first place and therefore losing productivity. Granted, you generally come out ahead.

I think that's the plateau in most languages. You get to a point where you are fighting the language/ecosystem as much as it's helping you and so productivity plateaus.
Grew up in USSR. The basic premise of communism is that it's the best possible way to organize society. If you are not happy then it's not the problem with the communism(how could it be? it's the best!) but it's the problem with you. From that premise all sorts of bad things happen like you are not allowed to complain about communism or question it etc. Not unlike any authoritarian government or cult.
I don't know why whenever people bring up that the virus might have come from a lab it always gets dismissed because the virus doesn't look artificial.

Why is it never brought up that it could just be an accident? It doesn't need to be a weapon. Just poor safety during research.
RFID chip maybe?
I’m not sure what you mean specifically but if you zoom to a reasonably small area in Apple Maps it does show the current weather conditions for that area, in the bottom right corner.
> Nothing has changed at all, really.

That's exactly right. So we're equally vulnerable to corrupted science as all the people before us who fell victim to the examples listed above.
I grew up in the suburbs around Boston. My mom was an immigrant and my dad Irish/Armenian. America is pretty diverse and you find various pockets of friendliness in most cities.

There are some “general regional tendencies” I’ve found but they’re overblown, if a little fun.

In my experience Armenians in the Boston area are very friendly or hostile. But they’re my relatives..and it might just be me. In general Id say people Around Boston are less “outgoing” than the people in NY were I lived for a little while. Though in NY I always felt they were more honest with you. Less friendly than Alabama were one of our offices were. (Bless their hearts). And a co-worker from Minnesota “Minnesota nice” notes that while theyre friendly on the outside not so with personal info. (They’ll give you directions anywhere except to their house )
And in MInnesota when they’re hunting for agates, be afraid.

We know North America was mostly filled with hunter gatherer tribes. So the population would have been low compared to even South America, but especially Europe and Asia.

We don't know all that much about the supposed impact, as you say. Just that more large mammals in North America went extinct than anywhere else, so it was likely the worst affected.
Whatever happened, happened. I'd not appeal to journalists' conscience, but rather try to protect sensitive documents better in the future. I have not doubts that revealed information will harm in some way to "good guys" if they let it fall into "bad guys'" hands.
I'm a bit new to the SEO software market. What does Ginza offer that is different / unique versus something like SeoMOZ?
Has there ever been an instance of a speed camera malfunctioning in such a way that the limit enforced by the camera is reduced, having the effect of ticketing every driver on the road?
Or maybe the "analysts" are just not any good.

For a specific example, look at how the "hobbyists" are beating the "professional" analysts at predicting Apple's quarterly performance, time and time again.

I have seen it before, but I didn't know it's available on the iPad now. Wow, now I have another reason to get an iPad.
None of those assumptions are made, at all.

First, I asked what the endgame is, not what it is right now .

First, that everyone has a similar level of things to be embarrassed about.

And yet here we're discussing a law that leaves the amount of damage to be done to freedom of information up to the whims of each individual person who thinks they should be able to censor some piece of data, rather than any kind of objective test. Including the "rich and powerful".

Second, that wealthy and powerful people won't simply sue or bribe publishers to withhold or delete the embarrassing material.

That does not work in the real world. The rich and powerful have been trying to restrict information getting out for years. Snowden and Streisand are living proof of this. The continued explosions in the faces of people who try to do this are further proof.

That old saying about the internet interpreting censorship (and we can quibble about the wheretos and the whyfores all day long, but at the end of the day, this definitely fits the definition of censorship) as damage? That doesn't stop applying just because legislators want it to.

Third, that living in a panopticon is a good thing. I'm a little perplexed at how people who find NSA surveillance utterly unacceptable and wish to be able to shield private information..

In every case we're talking about here, it's not "private" information. It's information that's always been there, for free, to anyone who cares to look. Arrests are not private information, neither are blog comments, neither is anything else you do in the public eye. I find it repugnant to suggest that removing that information from one or two places makes it as if those things never happened.
So presumably this can be fixed by having the app store/repository copy the APK to its private storage before installing it?

The package cache could then still be on the SD card if there's a separate checksum which is checked (after copying the file to private storage) each time.
You can call staff in as needed, stick to the agenda and then let them leave when they are not needed anymore.

Of course the bigger question is, why are you having meetings that produce nothing?

Or, put another way, statement-based languages vs. expression-based languages. Strictly speaking, they can be equivalent, but each pushes code in different directions by default. (And for the whole "= means mutate-variable" thing, I think "<-" is a good operator.)
I was mostly joking but if you were really going to do this you'd have to develop strategies to reduce the chances of this happening and mitigate it when it does.

Maybe if you have a slightly bad reputation on Amazon that will keep people from buying your book. Maybe you can purchase the book locally and send it to the buyer in a pinch. Maybe you can purchase the book from the actual seller and just use the buyer's shipping address. Etc.
I haven't heard Knuth lecture for maybe five years, but he seemed sort of stuttery -- something I don't remember from his last lecture I saw at MIT. Does anyone know if the stuttering is common / worsening? I'm worried about his mental health!!
Yeah, I dropped $11.37 for it as a Linux gamer.
The so-called "Black Amex" card has been used to purchase a ~$30 million aircraft, according to American Express.
What you're complaining about is called "kerning pairs" and is considered to be superior text layout technique. Most professionally laid out text in print uses this. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning. Perhaps you aren't used to it.
We've seen all of these issues, but the primary causes appear to be either problems in configuration of the cluster (which you typically don't see until you're doing serious work, or working with an overstressed cluster at scale) and problems with underlying code quality of the jobs (e.g., processes hanging due to tasks which don't terminate due to inability to handle unexpected input gracefully--infinite loops or non-terminal operations). If you're working with big data, particularly data that isn't the cleanest, you'll start to see some of these issues and others arise.

Despite those issues, the most remarkable thing about Hadoop is the out-of-the-box resilience to get the work done. The strategy of no side-effects and a write-only approach (with failed tasks discarding work in progress) ensures predictable results--even if the time it takes to get those results can't be guaranteed.

The documentation isn't the greatest, and it's very confusing sorting out the sedimentary nature of the APIs and configuration (knowing which APIs and config match up across various versions such as 0.15, 0.17, 0.20.2, 0.21, etc., not to mention various distributions from Cloudera, Apache and Yahoo branches), but things are starting to finally converge. You're probably better off starting with one of the later, curated releases (such as the recent Cloudera distribution) where some work has been done to cherry pick features and patches from the main branches.

The cashier doesn't add any value to your transaction -- he is just there is ensure the store gets your money.

I am willing to pay the sticker price for the groceries I pull off the shelf, not the cashier's skill in ringing them up.
EDIT: A comment below notes that this is a divisional patent and might have a date in 2001: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2008772

On the other hand, there's lots of prior art for drawing flight information on maps. Here's a video game from the 1980's that I played: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC9i1drUg8c#t=2m15s

===========

It's easy to validate the claims that RunwayFinder forms prior art for the patent, assuming that RunwayFinder hasn't changed significantly since then:

Those particular chinese are an insignificantly tiny percentage of modern U.S.A.
why on earth is this rant at the top of HN home?
The rich have had such networks for a long time. They are currently called country clubs.
The question is more whether it needs to support private and secure payments in the first place. That is, legally and ethically, a whole different beast than private communication.
Looks somewhat promising as a TextMate replacement for out-of-project editing - I’ll give it a shot.
Did you adjust the offset like I said you would probably need to?
Haha, that "old guy" is actually my dad, but I won't tell him you said that :)

I think it's very understandable to be skeptical of online privacy these days. There is no such thing as perfect privacy, but there's a wide spectrum between a fully public Twitter account and a Gmail account secured with 2 factor auth.

Where you strive to be on that spectrum influences your product decisions, and that in turns affects the interactions your customers have. In our case, the goal is to encourage meaningful conversations between close family members, rather than broad public sharing.

SEEKING WORK:
Looking for remote based work.(Live in London, UK)
Short projects or equity/percentage share start-up deals interest me most

Skill set:
Web-dev(PHP(Experience with all major frameworks), JS(Backbone, handlebars, ember, derby, node), Python, Java, ROR Meteor and node are 'tickling my fancy' at the moment)
Flex and air applications are intriguing me at the moment, just finished building a desktop based multiple monitor karaoke application

I am the type of person who gets personally involved in work; I eat, sleep and dream in code. I always speak my mind on features and ideas.

If you are interested, feel free to drop me an email at devon@devonbarrett.net
(1) I didn't criticize the perspective, I merely said it sounds like coming from a man... No judgement there.

(2) So much wrong there, no idea where to start. "Life mostly of leisure" is not what I and many others think of motherhood. How come stay-at-home mothers get burnout then?

(3) I explained why I think that fathers should'nt have financial incentives to walk away from families they promised to take care of. That works out to a bias in favor of mothers. Deal with it.

(4) Marriage is a contract, designed to make sure children can be raised in relative financial security. Relative at least to the situation of one parent vanishing into thin air because he stands to gain, financially. It's a very narrow interpretation to say that men "foot the bill". They married the woman, they are responsible for their children. Now is it fair for men to get a financial reward from walking away from their promises and obligations? I don't think so.
They were successful because they _were_ bicycle mechanics. They were particularly suited (and lucky in a few ways) to reducing the weight of a powered aircraft enough while being structurally sound to a point where it could sustain flight.

If they didn't succeed somebody else would have in a very short time. Increasingly light internal combustion engines and increasingly strong and light materials and manufacturing techniques made powered flight inevitable in the early 20th century. Who got there first is memorable, but the breakthoughs they made were going to happen with or without them.

If someone creates a warp drive it will require the energy density, funding, and high technology materials fabrication of a nation state behind it sitting on the foundation of theoretical physics well established. You might as well suggest the first nuclear bomb was more likely to be created by a tinkerer than the Manhattan project.
