My wife is Japanese, and she said that in Japan lots of old people choke on mochi (a sticky sweet made from rice). From what she says, when this happens - the best thing to use is a vacuum cleaner. I also remember a scene from Tampopo[0] where this takes place. Sounds pretty scary and odd, but probably not an entire myth[1,2]

I wonder how effective this is, and what are the risks to the lungs after whatever's stuck gets dislodged.

I guess when you're choking, you'd take that risk if all else fails (if you or someone around you can act fast enough to pull a vacuum cleaner...)

While you do have a point that animal life is not solar powered, only by proxy, using vegetables as fuel, so would our machines not be solar powered, only by proxy, using a vast network of solar arrays as energy. Thus, as, let's say, a gazelle needs, let's say, 1ha of grassland to live, so would a car need 1ha of solar panles to move.

On the other hand, I agree, I see fusion as the future and I think it is necessary if we want to meet the future demand for energy.

I'd also love for us to become a space faring civilization, and for that, we need to be able to make our own little sun. We'd then be able to build our own self-contained solar system.

After all, if you look further enough down the chain, all energy we're using is solar. Yet, if you look even further down the chain, all energy is fusion.
Think of them as words, not letters. It would supremely bother me if I were unable to write "colour" and always had to write "color".

This looks like the same type of mask used in bag masks for providing ventilation, in which case a beard can significantly compromise the seal. Our anesthesiologists here recommend shaving your beard for higher risk patients undergoing anesthesia in case they need to be bagged. However beards don't render the mask totally ineffective.
and yet the US has defunded and underfunded new Fusion research related to power generation at every turn for the past 20 years. Pinning our hopes on the ITER boondoggle.
I hear you. Raw unfiltered links always have hidden gems.

One thing though: Greptweet has an archive somewhere with a huge trove of tweets that users of the service have searched for, and were thus logged and kept. (Some even go over the 3200 limit). It's a massive Tarball, so set aside time to download it and parse out boring/noisy links.

A lot of HN links are tech-press posts which consist of hearsay and merely proxy the thoughts of others. The recent changes in HN with regards to more academia-style posts is refreshing.

It's even possible to write simply about complex topics. Nobel Prize announcements are especially good at this, see e.g. http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/201.... Obviously nobody's going to walk away from a summary with a full understanding of a deep subject, but some of the key ideas have been conveyed.
Ok, and I thought I was cynical :-) I'd challenge your assessment that there isn't a weapon here. Look no further than the rail gun which consumes copious amounts of electrical charge, which a fusion reactor could replace rapidly. There are also the laser weapons which have demonstrated that chemical lasers are too fragile for battle. Large arrays of semiconductor lasers though, collimated into a single beam get you there. Also a consumer of lots and lots of electricity.

So one day your cruiser class naval ship starts boiling the ocean around it while it fires of its lasers and rapid fire rail gun.

Incremental DOM 101: What is it and why I should care?
Or, conversely, set it up as a form, have an Editor review the text, and only allow the submitter 3 "undo" edits before sending it through the portal. The submitter could pick a maximum # (3-5?) of targets from a list that has agreed to participate in the format (e.g. publication editors) so there's some element of exclusivity. Then the editors can respond within a timeframe of "interested" or "pass" and if more than one is interested, the first one who replied gets the opportunity, and if they don't capitalize within 3-5-7 days, it goes to the next (in an ideal world).

This way there's value added for the submitter (prompts, editing for errors and audience, pathway to exposure) and a buffer intake system for editors who want good, new, exclusive content of this sort.

Secondary indexing with Redis
Quick google search is about 100 wH per square foot of surface area. I'm just estimating about 8 square feet of surface area (one sided) for a human. Assuming 12 hours a day at that rate you get about 9.6 KwH or ~8000 kcal. With perfect efficiency and a storage system inside the body (which we do have, but not for light energy) that's probably doable.

Obviously our tissue is much well less adapted to so many hours of sunlight compared to plants. Also even plants only absorb a relatively small part of the light spectrum (none of the green light). Also even plants required compounds from the earth and the air to actually harvest the energy to store so it's a pretty complicated process to do in an actively moving human.
Have you considered that gut bacteria might actually affect what we consider appetizing, and what we crave? There's a lot of interesting things that gut bacteria seem to affect[1].

So, while gut bacteria may not help much in people that have problems in the quantity of food you eat, maybe it might affect the quality.

> Evidence? Ever been to mcdonald?? Fat people eat buckets of food and drink gallons of soda.

Which is a correlation. But what we're finding is that the causation, while there, may not entirely account for it or be entirely accurate.

Do we blame the uneducated entirely for their circumstances, or do we accept that there are many factors that go into their current life circumstances, and there's a cycle in place that makes it hard to make meaningful changes, and put processes in place to increase the chances that those that desire positive change are able to succeed?

Why is this any different (especially if gut bacteria can affect how you think, feel, and what you hunger)?

To be fair, it's entirely possible that this is all bullshit, and none of it will work. But just saying people are fat because they go to McDonalds and eat a lot doesn't make you insightful, it just makes you ignorant.

While safety relevant ECU's are not triply redundant, they ARE doubly redundant with error correction memory. So I don't know what Toyota used to do, but, from my experience, nowadays, auto companies take safety relevant applications VERY seriously.

Actually, for the division I used to work for, a lot of the people programming ECU's for cars came from aerospace. They built radars for planes, now they build radars for cars.

Also, the safety of the systems tends to improve with time, as technology matures.

Also, another interesting anecdote, the Flexray communication protocol used more and more in cars these days was first used in planes.
This was a reaction to the 2008 financial crisis. I believe that Tim first started publicly talking about this at a keynote during OSCON. A year later he gave a more evolved version at a publishers conference that he runs.

Here's a video where he elaborates:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc7Z5gmwXOg

I'm working on research for an open data project and have been revisiting thousands of bookmarks I'd saved over the years. Decided to read it again and was struck with how relevant it still was six years after he wrote it. Kind of true with both PG's and Tim's essays is that they are both timeless.
This shows great character thus being honest and knowing taking money isn't ideal at that stage.
TTF / OTF fonts have quite a bit of meta data in them. I don't know the details but there are some flags regarding font family.
There is no way they can fit a light field projector, dynamic masking, GPU/CPU capable of driving the simulation, cameras/sensors to provide occlusion/depth data on the scene, battery, and so on and so forth in a compact system let alone consumer priced.

The biggest problem I have is they have a CGI company Weta digital on their team which is obviously very good at photo realistic CGI and we are taking their word at the claim of no compositing or special effects when that is impossible since the glasses are doing both as their advertised functions.

For all we know it is a fully opaque glasses that overlays live video and does the special effects on a offline computer with tons of latency before it sends it to the "glasses" that we don't perceive because the video recorded. In that manner no compositing or special effects were added but its still an highly artificial example.

Also if your being picky adding the text disclaimer on the video itself is a clear sign of compositing but the entire disclaimer is false because the whole point of AR is compositing reality with special effects and the main problems are latency, field of view, bulk, cost, battery life. None of witch are demonstrated.
Devd doesn't appear in my gulpfiles at all, actually. Gulp literally just renders to disk. I then start devd separately with the appropriate livereload flags to handle the service end of things.

For instance, here's a devd command-line from the docs (https://github.com/cortesi/devd) that handles proxying local services, with a static directory overlaid. Gulp would be rendering assets into that static directory, the change would be noticed by devd, and liverload would be triggered.

Yes. Yes, it does... but it's not transparent to userspace, which I think is what tptacek was alluding to. (And, frankly, is how it should be. However, the Linux kernel maintainers are absolutely fanatical about backward compatibility for userspace, so here we are with a new syscall.)
It's interesting that a new-ish search engine can even survive, since so many have died.

Sounds like they only focused on short-term business needs.

Maintainability and security are definitely business needs, but they're long-term instead of short-term, so it's easy for new companies to underinvest in them.

One of my favorite Mac (anti-)games was a zen-like, music space platformer called Tranquility[1]. The relaxing "floating" gameplay was interesting enough, but the generated ambient music was the best part. I'd leave that running on the background like some rain loops I use nowadays. It was an online game, despite being single-player, and I paid $10 out of my allowance for a lifetime membership. I was pretty sad when it abruptly shut down some years afterward.

I've always hoped someone would remake it for mobile or VR. The music/synth engine alone would make a pretty neat app.

There is a decent nerdwriter video on worldbuilding (and he talks about Tolkien's masterly production of the world of Middle Earth):

I don't fully agree with the thesis of the video, but it's a worthy watch and well reasoned argument.
> Come on; all of the world is 'solar powered' by that stretch.

Much, but not all.

> Oil came from algae which grew from sunlight.

Sure, oil is indirect solar power. The problem with oil is that's rapid consumption of a stockpile accumulated over a much longer time, which produces sustainability and carbon-balance problems.

> The point is valid: the density of solar exposure at the surface of earth, times the capture/conversion rate to chemical energy, is too low to support animal life. As demonstrated by billions of years of evolution.

Er, no, it does support animal life. IF it was too low to support animal life, than animal life could only exist by the equivalent of burning oil; e.g., it could only evolve with an accumulated stockpile of stored energy which it is burning down. That's not the case, so the negation of your conclusion is, in fact, proven by nature.

(And even evolution hadn't produced a mechanism that did that -- in which case we wouldn't be having this discussion -- that wouldn't prove it was impossible. Otherwise, all the technologies that we have developed for which there are no biological analogs produced by evolution would be impossible, which is clearly not the case.)

Sure, I'm not saying that it doesn't matter to somebody. But in the grand scheme of things, I don't believe it's that important. OTOH, I do believe there are people who think it's important, so in some indirect sense, it matters. But my point is just to say that it's hardly The Most Important Thing, especially compared to the meat of what the company is actually doing.

IOW, if you've invented AGI, that's news-worthy regardless of whether you're funded by A16Z, Bull City Venture Partners, or your crazy uncle Bob.
Hi, author here. I agree that quality and reliability is tougher to sell to today's consumer. Maytag sure was successful though with their never seeing the Maytag man ad campaign a long time ago. I have people talking to me about that ad campaign to this day.

Let me give one specific example of how the cost would not go up for better quality. Most washing machine lid switches made over the past 20 years or so have been glued together. Eventually the glue fails, the switch separates and the washer will not go into the end spin cycle, leaving the washer full of water and broken. The fix is a small plastic zip tie that costs less than a penny on the consumer side and reinforces the switch so it doesn't separate. The cost for the manufacturers to build in any extra support would be almost nothing. This lack of extra support has probably sent hundreds of thousands of washing machines to the scrap yard.

I do think reliability is something that could be sold now, in the current condition of the appliance industry. People are fed up buying brand new appliances that break within a few years. If a new manufacturer emerged that made higher quality machines, and people found out about them, they would tell everyone they know.

Yes people want cheap appliances, but once burned, they are often converted into wanting quality ones.
Doing what you love / care about, at least partially, while still making a living is an interesting task. Also a highly nontrivial one unless/until you've already made a few millions.

One way to do this is instead of watching TV, playing WoW, etc, that is, instead of pleasant but exclusively consumer activities. Seen at this angle, the advice does not look all that bad.

This is not unlike having kids. You don't quit work to have kids; to the contrary, you work harder to give the kids a head start (nice toys, good books, advanced kindergarten). You don't stop working for money, but you spend the money for what you love more than money. If this works for your child, it could also work for your brainchild (which is often less demanding, too).
I hadn't even thought of pre-ABS drivers being taught to pump the pedal to avoid skidding.

For starters, the meme is demonstrably incorrect. Here's an article that discusses this: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/05/new-study-shows...

Here is the study in question: http://www.omarwasow.com/Protests_on_Voting.pdf

Personally, I believe the meme to be a case of people choosing their beliefs for the purpose of emotional satisfaction rather than truth value.

> And demonstrating a marked lack of sympathy for others in doing so. You are not particularly concerned with injustice or violence as long as you remain personally unaffected.

Would you be more willing to listen if I had written a teeth-gnashing litany about how much I sympathize with the grievance(s) in question first? I suspect most would not. The prevailing thought is that in such a scenario as this, I should subordinate my grievances to those of others. You can see this on display when others tell me "get over yourself". In other words, I am to disregard one injustice in the supposed interests of addressing another injustice.

I am concerned with injustice and violence. I am also concerned with not perpetuating them in an effort to address them. I do not consider making the problem worse to be an acceptable manner of attempting to solve the problem.

I also wrote this:

> And the riots have put me in an awkward position. I can say I don't support the rioters while still supporting and pushing for what the rioters want. However, if I do this, any successes can and will be treated as successes by the rioters. The predictable result will be more riots, because people will conclude that riots get them what they want. Alternately, I can refuse to advocate for policies called for by rioters, because under no circumstances do I want to encourage riots.

> That's the bind I'm in. I'm erring on the side of personal safety, because I'm not real interested in having my face smashed in with a crowbar for the cause of today's riot.

Perhaps that's not considered sympathy. I should think it makes clear where my personal sympathies lie. Perhaps a more strident declaration of loyalty to The Cause is required?

That said, I'm also bothered by the idea that I have to express sympathy before being permitted to be displeased with an injustice. Can I criticize attempting to assassinate the POTUS without commenting on the cause of independence for Puerto Rice?
