IIRC, passengers don't get to request anything. The kit stays closed, except for medical professionals. For good reasons - handing out meds likely entails liabilities, and no airline wants that.
This article was linked on HN last fall I believe: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/11/airplane-maintenance-...
Basically the airlines are outsourcing maintenance to places like El Salvador, Mexico, and China. The FAA has very little capacity for providing the same level of oversight previously conducted in US-based maintenance facilities. Scary.
I am more inclined to click on a link on a topic for which i do not have much background so that i can understand the comments better and possibly contribute to them.

If i feel i have good level of knowledge or even domain expertise then I go straight for the comments.

Also, I look at the topic and the source. If sounds a little clickbait-y then I go for the comments (if at all).

That's true - human chosen passwords are vulnerable to more clever non-brute-force attacks. This effect is rather different than the interplay between computer power and hashing schemes though. (Thus my strong qualifications about fully-random :)
I'd like to know what airline this was so I can never fly them.

1) This obviously physically incapable person was sitting in exit row initially

2) The F/A of negative utility (the physician probably should have escalated to the pilot, or at least the purser.) That has to be a combination of training and personal incompetence. (Actually, she sounds like the lead flight attendant, which means she should just be fired.)

3) The medical kit. wtf.

Ah -- appears to be Delta, which I'd never fly on a 17h international flight anyway.
If you want to play around, take a gander at Kaggle.
Slightly mis-leading headline....bug it's direct from the register. tldr; the headline should read "Windows 10 is the only Windows OS that will support latest processors." Guess MS is tired of supporting 30 years of hardware with each OS release. Hopefully that'll free them up a bit to do more interesting stuff.
What about 8-character passwords with letters, numbers, and symbols? What if it includes non-ASCII characters?
The big win for me is administration, not performance.
Nice formatting aside, I am slightly concerned that GitHub "releasing a release note" for Git would further blur the distinction between the two for new programmers.

If I were new to Git and GitHub, I would have thought that Git is a product of the company GitHub.

Edit: After searching through git repo and official site, I could not find any nicely "rendered" release note beyond the official release note in raw markdown here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentati... , so I think GitHub is doing us a good thing here by giving a high level summary and actually rendering the markdown properly.
Why would it be? It's a bunker against radiation and fallout. I would not expect the builders to put radiation in it, that would quite defeat the purpose.
The specific airline protocols makes all the difference... which isn't specified in the article. Also something as simple as all the medication being in a foreign language can be a stumblimg block on an international flight.
Some basic suggestions:

All of the blur/ functions could see big improvements with some simple changes:

* Use separable kernels whenever possible (this reduces a O(K^2) evaluation to 2K evaluations)

Some filters (like your box filter) can be done efficiently as a linear combination of IID filters (i.e. implicitly computing a pair of running sums, subtracting one from the other as you go).

* The convolve/ package could use some cache blocking, and should definitely have the conditionals on the inner-loop removed.

Unfortunately, these changes will likely make your code a bit more difficult to read.

This is one of the reasons Halide has become so popular for image-processing (if you're interested in high performance image processing without sacrificing maintainability, Halide is definitely worth looking into!)
An 'airway' doesn't necessarily mean an ET tube. A simple airway adjunct (NPA, OPA, LMA, etc) would go a long way towards keeping an unresponsive pt's airway open without having to dedicate someone to monitoring it.

IV access is useful for administration of several drugs that airlines (in the US anyway) are required to carry. While lots of docs haven't placed an IV since residency, it's not _that_ hard a skill, and it's more than just nurses who start a lot of IVs... A nurse wouldn't even be my first choice in that situation. I'd hope there was a paramedic (or ER nurse) aboard.

As far as IV fluids go... There are plenty of situations where a 250-500mL bolus can make a significant difference. Given the limited diagnostic tools available, I'd give fluids to anything that smelled like an MI (barring any contraindications). For all you know it's an inferior wall MI, and that boost to their preload will help tremendously.
That's why I put "request" in quotes. The patient is unable to request anything; the doctor is doing it on their behalf.

Function vs. function
To add some data to this discussion, in 2015 FiveThirtyEight found that Delta flights typically took 4 minutes less compared to other airlines, whereas Southwest flights typically took 1 minute more. This takes delays and cancellations into account.

You can see the analysis at http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/flights/. The explanation, linked to at the top of that page, is at http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-we-found-the-fastest....
In most American towns and cities, public transit lost the competition for better-off consumers decades ago. It isn't a good experience, it isn't convenient, it isn't fast. The only advantage is that it costs less than owning a car... if you consider your time to be worth nothing.

The majority of people in middle America whose lives are organized without any regard whatsoever for public transit are not interested in funding it "really well". They're accustomed to zipping across town in their car, directly to their destination. They pay, at most, $300-$400 out-of-pocket a month for a high degree of personal autonomy and a guarantee of never being panhandled or sexually assaulted as they transit to work and back, knowing that no matter how late they are out they can get home in a reasonable amount of time.

Those are the people to whom public transit advocates must appeal. These are the affluent consumers that need to be attracted. These are the people to whom, in most of middle America, public transit sounds like hell.

Once upon a time I lived in San Antonio, Texas. I figured I could get by without a car. There was a bus system. There was a stop right next to my place. It was reasonable, right? After a month of spending a minimum of three hours a day on the buses for twenty minutes of driving, I gave up and got a car so I could have all those hours of my life back.

That's what results look like when things are "really well" funded. The city is too geographically sprawling for any remotely cost-effective public transit system to be competitive. In smaller towns, it's so much worse. It's difficult to conceive of any public transit system that can offer cost-effective and offer competitive service at a population density of 40 per square km.

For most of these people, a parallel system can hardly be less useful than the buses they have.

The article states that these items (airways, nitro, ...) were not just her requirements, but rather FAA mandated [1] items that did not appear in the flight's medical kit.

No, not too much, at least I'd agree with you.

A lot of information about current Tesseract is there - https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/docs/tree/master/das_tutori... .

Tesseract is trainable, even though the bulk of capabilities came from algorithms designed well before deep learning became popular.

One of slides mentions that it's puzzling that Tesseract is "winning" over modern ML attempts to solve OCR. However, latest developments - adding LSTM networks to Tesseract - are reported to be promising. Wonder when they'll become available on the Github...
If you have a shell and public I address, you can get a certificate. Root access is only required for Http authentication, you can also authenticate to LE using DNS. I actually just learned about the DNA ability.

Check out Lego project, it makes DNS Auth very easy :)
This is going to sound odd, but I'd go for a used macbook pro. Apple has awesome parental controls, and you can set things up remotely. I also like the programming environment for my son (7). We started off with scratch a long time ago, now he's moved on to Java (following along with examples), and I even got him a MicroBit that he can program with the MS Scratch-like interface. It was an easy choice for me since I just upgraded to a smaller MB Air for travel, and well...I stepped on his raspberry pi (he loved tux math).
i assume that's at least partly intentional from the github point of view
> I'd see a MitM in the cert chain if I manually inspect it, wouldn't I? (It'd be signed by the corporate MitM CA cert, right?)

Yep, it should show up in the cert chain.

> Interesting that it shows up in your screenshot though; BoA on both Chrome 51 (on OS X) and Chrome 51 on Linux doesn't display the EV for BoA, or GitHub.

I'd guess for some reason Chrome doesn't think it has received a qualified SCT for the certificate and is refusing EV treatment. Not sure which SCT delivery methods Chrome supports, and why they might be failing here.

> or is the screenshot incredibly outdated, since it says Chrome 8, and CT came later?

It's definitely old, but I don't believe it's related. FWIW I'm getting the EV UI on OS X with Chrome 54 when I visit https://www.bankofamerica.com/.
HN is not a place to argue medicine, but given that you're an EMT, I'll comment a little further.

1. Placing an IV in a sick, clamped patient IS difficult, even for experienced ER nurses.

If the patient is not sick, he doesn't need an IV. Its way easier to give drugs directly with a syringe than setting up an IV first.

2. In those situations, I'll just lift the patients legs up to give him that 500 mL bolus, which will take exactly 10 seconds, and not require any skills at all. Bonus points, if I realize he's not fluid-depleted, I'll just them back on floor -- et voilà!.
> Sphygmonanometer = useless. You can't hear fuck.

A systolic pressure is still a useful datapoint. If you want to get a diastolic pressure, see if you can't track down a paramedic (a modern widebody jet isn't much louder than the back of a rig).

> Stethoscope = almost useless. You can't hear fuck.

See above...

> Airways, oropharyngeal. Most people don't know how to use those. Might be useful, though

Most people don't know how to use any of this stuff... That's why they page for a doctor...

> Saline solution, 500 cc. As good as two glasses of (holy) water by mouth.

That's enough to make a difference for a preload sensitive heart failure pt.

As an antiarrhythmic, I'm sure. A "hail mary pass" at best, but worth a shot, I guess.
As I suggest in another comment, Hacker News should be hackable. The only way to find a better solution is with a lot of experimentation. But because you need a large userbase to do a proper experiment, we've been limited to a dozen or so experiments to-date (HN, reddit, slashdot, etc).

Making HN hackable would eliminate this chicken and egg problem. Look at the experimentaion that the Netflix Challenge enabled. Hacker News of all places should enable creative hackers, math studs and inspired experimenters to test their ideas.

If making votes publically visible in the API is a no-go, there are other options, such as Y-combinator accepting experimental code to run in a sandbox and produce alternate front page and comment rankings. I'd prefer votes becoming public for other reasons though.

It seems they are supporting old hardware on each new OS. What they are not supporting is new hardware on an old OS.

There's a mistake in the analysis of the ternary operator in the assert that doesn't check anything. Not only does the ternary ?: operator have lower precedence than the comparison <= operator, but it also has lower precedence than the logical && operator. So the expression inside the assert doesn't resolve to (die_offset > 0), it resolves to either 0xffff or 0xffffffff, both of which are true. The assertion really doesn't check anything at all.

I'm a paramedic. I place IVs in "sick, clamped patients" all the time, often in a moving vehicle... I still maintain it's not that hard (the doc in the article managed it twice).

You're not going to buy 500 mLs by raising someone's legs... 250, maybe. And if they _do_ have a positive response, you'd still hold off on fluids?

I see it as more of a friendly discussion than an argument, but I'll certainly respect your wishes if you'd rather not...

I'd have loved to see references to actual GCC bug reports. Did I miss those in the article?

Thankfully, the world is changing. You have languages where variables are immutable by default or can be declared so that would prevent issues as http://www.viva64.com/en/d/0108/

Maybe gcc should do better for static analysis of a program. Expressions like `a && a` or `a == 1 || a != 2` should be caught easily.

Not actually true, at least directly. They're currently required to play at least one year in NCAA, and the NBA commissioner is advocating for two years.
What an odd reply. I have placed airways in helicopters and Piper twin-engine aircraft that were serving as air ambulances. Those are far more cramped than a commercial airliner. Control of the airway can make all the difference when things go bad in a hurry.

IV fluids are critical in dehydration--no drugs to follow.

Oh. I wrote the foregoing and then I re-read the part about "a good nurse...open up a good vein" and I realized you are a troll with no medical experience or qualifications. Good one.

Warrant canaries make zero sense, the court would simply require you keep your warrant canary as part of its order.
This makes a lot of sense, and follows typical methods that were done by hand long ago. When I TA'd freshman physics at a big university in the 90s, the grading session was a two-pass assembler. First pass, we simply identified the possible answers. Second pass, we marked them. This gave us much more consistency, and it was quicker overall.

Amusingly, the exams always asked for a numerical answer, from which we could guess which mistake they made, then we would find that mistake in their calculation and mark it. Without that trick, identifying the specific mistake in each answer was a pretty tedious process.

If someone was able to walk on a plane, it's unlikely they are severely dehydrated... Plenty of other reasons to carry fluids though.
Almost all airlines pale in comparison to Asian budget carriers. I've flown (from best service to worst): Scoot, ANA, and United recently (all on 787-9s).

One of the Scoot flights had some sort of medical emergency. Who knows what happened, but from what I could tell the guy lived. The closest we got to a medical emergency on the United flights was the food.

Can you elaborate more on specific scenarios you've seen where big data or CS techniques would improve research? I've always thought of archaeology and history as being more anecdotal endeavours, which might indicate a certain ignorance of these fields on my end.
It's interesting how this seems to play out politically.

- Wealthy foreigners purchase property primarily as an investment.

- Said property is left vacant or only used infrequently.

- Locals that would otherwise have lived in these wealthy neighbourhoods start purchasing elsewhere.

- A chain reaction occurs putting pressure on prices down through the market.

- This is interpreted as a shortage of homes.

- Poorer immigrants are blamed for the increased demand.

I'm certainly not suggesting that this is sole reason for rising property prices (I think buy-to-let is probably a bigger issue), but I think that the simple assumption that most people make - i.e. that there is simply a shortage of homes is lazy and likely incorrect. There are two sides to the supply and demand equation and the typical focus on the supply side as the underlying issue is problematic.

In my opinion, more attention should be given to the demand side of the equation. A speculative boom creates demand - not for homes but for 'investment' opportunities.

There is a survey carried out each year in Melbourne (a city with similar property market problems to London and Vancouver) by an organisation called Prosper Australia. It is called the 'Speculative Vacancies Report' and is conducted using an interesting methodology.

Typically, the vacancy rates you hear about in the media are sourced from the real estate industry and are collected by asking agencies what percentage of properties on their books are currently vacant. A typical response is something like 3%.

The Prosper Australia report instead looks at water usage per property and shows much higher vacancy rates (close to 30% in some areas of Melbourne). Interestingly, higher vacancy rates correlate with areas that have higher price appreciation. This is not at all intuitive if you assume a simple relationship between supply of residences and demand for homes. It is more understandable if you consider that the demand side is in large part driven by people seeking speculative investment opportunities rather than homes.

Given all of this, I think that the solution is not to be found in building more homes (likely to make any crash worse) but in making property less attractive as an investment. In many markets, this wouldn't mean punitive measures but instead removing existing incentives and possibly better regulation of lending so as to ensure banks and investors are left in no doubt that the risks they take when speculating (especially leveraged speculation) are their own responsibility and the taxpayer will not prop up the market for their benefit when prices stop rising (I say 'stop rising' and not 'fall' here because in a speculative boom that should be sufficient to lead to a fall if it lasts long enough).
What was their position prior to this? What changed to make this happen? Really curious.
Domain registrar has nothing to do with the hosting. As long as you can point a domain to an IP address you can get a certificate.

Namecheap even goes a step further and has an API for domain validation (makes LE certificate authorization easier) so they are very friendly in regards to Let's Encrypt.
I find the gifs make the text around them far harder to focus on. I'd much prefer they only played on click or hover.
This is pretty spot on. I honestly don't remember the legal immigration numbers off the top of my head, I think it's something like a million, certainly hundreds of thousands a year, and as you point out, illegal immigration numbers are all over the map (I think the range is something like 10 - 30 million total, not annual but don't quote me). It is important to remember that the US is huge, so it's not the same as Germany taking in 500,000 people by any stretch of the imagination.

That's the nationalization I was referring to earlier. Also, government workers are rarely held to a high standard and rarely fired, so why you think that's going to happen with healthcare when it doesn't happen anywhere else is beyond me.

Most doctors make a salary, they don't care what the 'profit' on a procedure is. They probably don't even know what most of the stuff costs. It's like college professors and textbooks.

Also, who's worrying about some doctors not offering some procedures?
At the time, a lot of people were regularly using laundry bluing as a whitening agent along with soap (not another detergent agent, real, honest-to-goodness soap, like Sunlight Soap or Ivory Snow); it was difficult to tell those people that a more effective detergent, by itself, could accomplish what soap and bluing together had been doing. Thus blue crystals in detergent.
