Obviously I did not examine his body (nor would I be qualified to do so), but a "heart attack" occurs when the myocardium (heart muscle) is not getting enough oxygen. The fight (brief as it was) ramped up his myocardial oxygen demand, and his position limited his body's ability to deliver that oxygen. That's a recipe for a heart attack.

I should note that while "positional asphyxia" is a generally accepted theory, it's not without its detractors, and more research needs to be done.

The term you're looking for in FDA speak is 'Laboratory Designed Test', I've included a link to the FDA's guidance document on LDTs below.

The reason why FDA approved tests frequently work as 'black boxes' is because the FDA requires that approved tests reach specific performance characteristics. Typically in order to prove these performance characteristics, companies must constrain the parameters of the testing. Once they do that that test is only considered 'valid' over those parameters. The level of error reporting is dependent on the company who develops the test.

The FDA is working to subjecting certain LDTs (basically stuff that guides treatment choices) to pre-market review, so a lot of these gaps will likely begin to be closed. One of the things that Theranos kinda trumpeted earlier is that their nanotainer HPV test was technically a LDT and therefore did not require a 510k, but they got it anyways.

Downvoting without responding is fine on HN. There are many more downvotes (and upvotes) than comments, which is as it should be.

I imagine these downvotes were because your comment gave what has become the #1 stock response to any such story without showing any awareness thereof or adding anything new; because the edge in it made it sound polemical rather than a sincere request for information; and because polemical stock responses turn into flamewars, which most of us aren't interested in and which break the HN guidelines. To downvote such comments is to be a good citizen, the way putting out small fires would be.

Note that one can make all of the above observations without disagreeing with the position you're implicitly advocating (that resources should target disadvantaged individuals rather than categories like race and gender). It's generally better to assume that downvotes are procedural rather than ideological. It yields better feedback about how your comments could be improved.
Story goes that's how we got croissants and coffee. Croissants as a nod to Viennese victory over the Ottoman siege in 17th century (crescent shape), and coffee apparently became popular in Europe because of that same Ottoman siege.

Them's the legends at least.

All I know about that part of history is that the Hapsburg empire used Slovenia as a buffer zone between them and the turks. Now my country has a lot of very fortified churches because the peasants had to hide somewhere while the Turks raided.
All that "modern" tooling is simply there to solve problems people have encountered. Give yourself a chance to experience the problems first, before you go adopting everyone else's solution to those problems. Just write some plain old code that works.
Scheltema@MAKE suggests the Pine is differentiated by superior graphics: 4K HDMI, hardware H264 & H265 from a 2 core MALI400 GPU.

"I don't think defensive driving means expecting that at any moment something horrible can happen. It's more about being aware, anticipating events, preventing problems, and having a plan B."

"anticipating events"

I feel like maybe you are just making quick conversation, but do you not see the contradiction? I used to ride a motorcycle everywhere, and I took some pretty advanced motorcycle courses while in the military (on par with motorcycle cop courses), and me riding defensively certainly is me anticipating horrible events and avoiding them.

I think one downside to the evolution of car safety is that what it turns people who drive all the time (don't walk, ride bikes or motorcycles) into what motorcyclist call "cagers"... that is they don't see anything smaller than their vehicle, and that they have a lack of respect for the power of a vehicle. So I keep an eye out particularly for "cagers".

Example, me going down access road, I see soccer-mom suv 400 yards up ready to right hand turn into same lane, I notice kids in the back and vehicle nudging forward indicating it's in a rush... I am going to eagle eye the intentions of that vehicle and have already shifted my weight and moved further to the left in the lane.

If I failed to do these things, and the vehicle pulled out in front of me... I would most likely be dead on the spot.

Now, back to the subject, I think the real point is that you should be able to read a situation and expect the worst but hope for the best, and use your skills to respond in a way the de-escalates and reduces risk to all involved, and it is that last part that the majority of police are failing to do.

A lot of my old buddies went contractor (aka mercenary), but a few did join the force. I always told them I knew I couldn't be a police officer because I had such a muscle memory for killing... I think the real problem is that we have allowed a military people who got used to occupation operations to transition into police work without correcting that mind-set for how they interact with people. We are not in a war zone here... and we don't want to make it one either! (which seems to be what is happening)

Police officers should be peace officers, not storm troopers.

While I'm on the subject, I have two very particular gripes with current police conduct:

1. Lack of trigger discipline and willingness to unholster their weapon, and lack of barrel discipline once their weapon is out.

2. Unconstitutional police methods such as no-knock warrants, often hitting the wrong house which could have been avoided with some simple police work.

You combine the two and you get something like my brother in arms in Arizona, a Marine who was shot at least 22 times by a bunch of undisciplined trigger heavy fucktards posing as a SWAT team.

I was not under the impression that Apple Pay users have an imprint of their finger print next to the transaction information and time and date stamp somewhere. That would be ridiculous. If the user validates a transaction using their fingerprint, somewhere it probably say something along the lines of "verified with user's fingerprint, which is not stored here." This creates what we call, linkages. It's not all in one place. That would, again, be ridiculous. But, the more linkages you have the better picture you can draw.

I think we called them 'titles' or 'misleading titles'. Magazines with the article titles on the front would do this and I think it was distinctly different from say, a newspaper where the article started right below the headline. The magazine is actually hoping you don't see any of the article before you've bought the magazine (and possibly seen ads.)

Funny they're making this out to be new. Its revamped but this sharing feature existed in the Picasa days in a simpler form.

Side comment, the Google+ forced usage was a debacle whoever decided the photos team to remove the sharing via link features in an attempt to force people onto the G+ platform. Any manager that is willing to significantly hurt customer experience to drive their units short term results should be run out of town. Those personalities can be cancerous to companies, driving to make their personal agenda metrics look good for a couple of quarters before they move on to the next project.

Glad to see they are returning to what works best for customers!
Why not justify it?
I tried it using Chrome Dev Tools and emulated several mobile devices (some apple, some android, etc...) and even after a refresh and dumping cache, it did not go into responsive mode. It only gets smaller so the entire page fits on-screen for the mobile.

This has nothing to do with supporting mobile resolutions. The site just doesn't do responsive... at all.
I didn't downvote. But I'd suspect that a part of the reason is that not all of the sessions will be divided/limited to specific groups. YC will "also open some months to anyone in the startup community."

I hate to say it, but you've just described what a good SEO does. The good SEOs (and SEO firms) will analyze and take care of your internal links, your internal link structure, and make sure the site isn't linking out to outdated/old links.

If you want to do this yourself, there's several crawlers out there that you can find the data yourself.

Many publications have been reluctant to link out to sites over the years because of this very thing--link rot.
Your London experience mirrors all my Canada experiences with this same issue. I think the US is the outlier here.
I do think it's evident that he was incensed, therefore pointing it out for 3rd party readers is not beneficial.

Some of those 3rd party readers may themselves be incensed. Some of those 3rd party readers may be so engaged in their anger-driven thought processes, they might benefit from an self-awareness of their being anger-driven. This is the sense in which I made my point regarding 3rd party readers.

It's the same as if you had said, "I see you're feeling emotional about this." It's technically true, but carries an implication that he's favoring emotion over rationality, when he could simply be rationally deciding that the status quo of how the West uses its military is something that one should be incensed about.

I thought it was clear that I'm not against his interpretation of military intervention as being either unjust or harmful. On that, we actually agree. Nor have I ever said he's wrong to feel outrage. (Note how he jumped to conclusions on both those counts! Part of the psychology!) Rather, I'm pointing out how he has used his outrage stemming from that as the justification for moral license based on moral relativism.

It's not the particular positions I'm speaking out for or against. I'm speaking out to raise awareness of certain psychological states which can arise in the practice of activism, and pointing out the problems they cause.

So far this year, police have shot and killed more than 900 people, according to a Washington Post database tracking such shootings — more than twice the number recorded in any previous year by federal officials.

Surely this indicates the utter failure by any federal agency to track this statistic more than it does exceptionally violent LEOs this year?
I agree that this isn't terribly useful as-is, but I think it's part of a grander vision. It's a step towards the actionable product, following the trend of other analytic tools:

1.) Show the data - This is all about selling people on collecting data and using the tool. Example: this product, or any other plain dashboard.

2.) Push actionable data - This is about training people to delegate decisions to the tool. Example: Reminding you to sleep earlier if you chronically undersleep, suggesting an evening jog to wind down from too-much-caffeine.

3.) Act on the data - Customers completely delegate the problem space to your product. Example: Placing Prime orders for food based on your fitness goals, proactively buying melatonin if you take too long to fall asleep, etc.

I don't know what the owner's vision is, but right now it's a very "Dribbble-pretty" product... from the experience and utility perspective, it's still a classic dashboard.

There's nothing wrong with that though! I really like the tool and hope to see it when it hits the more advanced features. But for now... Kibana is my persona-data dashboard.
(Shrug) I don't see the problem with this. The opposite scenario, in which everthing that's not explicitly permitted is forbidden, is worse. That's how you get a War on Drugs.

He is the only Sultan who has ever got married. His wife, Roxelana, is a legendary figure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxelana). Being one of the girls in the harem, this Ukrainian girl completely captivated Suleiman's heart, took over him, and convinced him to get married. She was a de facto ruler (at least a major player) of the Ottoman Empire while he was on conquests and even when he was in Constantinople. The other interesting thing about Roxelana is that pretty much all her descendants, future sultans, were either degenerates or feeble minded, which historians think contributed to the decline of the Ottoman empire.
There is no universal public belief that police are guardians. People who are protected by police think they are guardians; but people suppressed by police probably don't have that belief.

That's why there is so much controversy around police violence, because some people genuinely believe police are protectors, and they have no reason to suspect otherwise based on their own and threir aquaintances' experiences.
Perhaps if it's a binary test, but blood tests typically return a cardinal/continuous value; it's enough to verify that e.g. Theranos returns something close to 44 when the reference test returns 44.

No one's disputing that bad statistics can invalidate some comparisons.

Yep - the suggestion from Microsoft was to downgrade to 8.1 - but that did not help.
Speaking as someone with a lot (20+ years) of dev experience, I highly recommend that you switch to a more mature language ecosystem. Other than the fact that it's in every browser, javascript is a horrible place to learn how to code.

Javascript development is a total mess. Even very experienced people spend a ton of time trying to navigate that ever-shifting terrain. It's also a very primitive, clumsy language, missing the most basic tools that a developer might want (e.g. first-class includes and packages, for starters). To top it off, in my experience, the average JavaScript developer is quite inexperienced. The good examples of javascript code are outnumbered 100:1 by bad examples.

If you're doing web dev, Ruby and Python are good places to start. Pick a language where there are a core set of experienced leaders who have been working for years, and there's a small set of "right" ways to do things.

The Orange Pi PC has a 2-core MALI400 GPU and hardware H264 and H265 decoding of 4K content, same as the Pine. Not sure whether it supports 4K HDMI out but I believe it does at 30Hz. The main differentiating factors seem to be that the Pine is 64-bit, has less RAM on the base $15 model, has battery support and isn't actually shipping yet. Oh, and the Pine is charging a lot more in shipping fees.
