It is very dangerous to sleep with your baby. I know that many people in many cultures do sleep with their babies but you should not. There are several ways it can result in the baby dying:

1. You can suffocate the baby by breathing on their face while you are asleep. The baby will not cry and will not wake while this is occurring.

2. You can crush your baby by rolling on to them while you are asleep.

3. Your baby can suffocate from their nose and mouth being covered by a blanket or pillow or even the soft mattress if they are get rolled over.

These very sad infant deaths happen frequently even in the US where co-sleeping is not as common as elsewhere in the world. Here are some recent news articles: http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2016/04/co-sleeping_dea... , http://woodtv.com/2015/06/05/mom-hopes-babys-co-sleeping-dea...

Co-sleeping advocates will tell you "as long as you do it safely you can sleep with your newborn." This is false. There is no safe way to sleep with a newborn. Newborns cannot turn their heads away if you breath on them. They cannot move if you get too close. While, many parents sleep with their babies and the babies do not die that does not mean that it is safe.

Update: The mayo-clinics prevention guide for SIDS: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sudden-infant-... . TLDR; Newborn babies should sleep by themselves on their back in a crib with no stuffed animals, pillows, or "crib pads."

Running a DUI checkpoint and getting on average one minor traffic citation every two hours is what these officers consider "effective".
A sort of naive question: don't they? (the genetic knowledge part)

Ok, maybe advanced stuff, stuff we've discovered after the introduction of modern medicine is not included, but doesn't the instinctive maternal bond also include some sort of generic component regarding behavior around children?
Look up Delayed sleep phase disorder. It's basically night owl syndrome. The two things that have some evidence for their usage are melatonin and SAD lights.
I've watched S01 but I'm not sure I'll watch S02. The cliché about dysfunctional people in IT is too much for me. I'm a normal person and I don't have difficulties in dealing with other human beings.

Also the part about vilifying companies and loving big government is not my cup of tea. At least in Person of Interest both were bad.

Last part, vilifying money as a medium of exchange is just absurd. Are they expecting to exchange their computer services for eggs at the supermarket?

Ditto. Works for me, too. I use FB.com to see messages on mobile Safari.

The only reason I don't use FB.com for everything is cause FB app allows me to upload video (but since I can't seem to get video posted to FB, via my iPhone 5C, to come out nicely, I'm going to delete the app too).
Netflix wants 50% of its library to be original content
We've occasionally brought our little dude into bed with us when he's going nuts, but also know the potential consequences. It's not generally safe to bring a child into an adult bed and I know without my spouse being super-vigilant I might roll over onto him.
I do have some wget dump of the site that I'm looking through now. I'll try to remember to post a link here when I'm done.
pip is atrocious/dangerous on any system without virtualenv. I've managed to sort this by using virtualenvs where I can and homebrew Python + packages when I can't (numpy, etc.).

Two things really help: pipsi (https://github.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi), which installs tools inside their own virtualenv and PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV, which stops pip from working outside a virtualenv.
Global volcanic activity is an imperfect proxy, however. For instance, about 20% of present day global volcanic SO2 emissions are from a few volcanoes in Vanuatu (Yasur, Lopevi, Ambrym, Ambae, Gaua and Vanua Lava).
It isn't about securely sharing highly sensitive material, but enabling verifiable privacy of typical communications. For example (hypothetically) me discussing cancer with a family member, or financial information, or (in countries where there is government oversight) organizing protests.

If not using a secure end-to-end encryption method such as chat, what do you recommend?

Email providers such as ProtonMail provide the same but in the form of email. Telephone calls are not secure, and neither are text messages.
Regarding money: apart from a car seat (buy a new one!), there honestly isn't much that's expensive and necessary for raising a baby. Take a pram, for instance: we bought one for $70 on Craigslist for our first daughter, second daughter is using it now four years later, no problems that regular maintenance with what I have in the garage hasn't solved. Crib: Ikea, $40, our oldest slept in that till she was three. Clothes for babies are cheap, buy them a little big and you can use them for 3 months or more. They don't care if their pants go up to their shoulders.

We need to bootstrap this process: successful cooperatives dump excess profits into capital grants for new cooperatives. But this involves people making the initial effort to organize as cooperatives; I'm not sure that legal and tax structures actually support this form of organization in the US.
I find it disturbing that Google can't do rot13.
Of the last 10 or so security engagements I have done, I can only recall one where I wasn't able to compromise _all_ servers. Once you get the first few, the incremental work to get everything is relatively small.

When breaking in, your end goal isn't the database server... it's the domain controller or the configuration management server.
No useful new features for power users...I am a bit disappointed.
You should watch S02. The dorm-room philosophy of the protagonists is not handled uncritically.
I practice two small repeatable activities throughout the day:

1. Spend five minutes looking out a window, not doing anything, not talking, not looking at your phone, not thinking about work or errands, but just trying to be present. I focus on breathing evenly and relaxing my muscles wherever I feel tense, and I find that my brain appreciates the break from its usual stressors.

2. If I'm experiencing negative emotions, I take 5-10 minutes to think about why I am feeling those emotions, and what I'm going to do about it. No communication, no phone, no computer. Like the author of the article said, the goal is to let myself feel bad and move on rather than to avoid it. This is sometimes harder than other times. For example, after a breakup "5-10 minutes" might actually be a 30 minute walk through the park to sort out my feelings before going back to work.

I find that both of those exercises help me reduce my emotional dependence on technology so that while I do still feel the impulse to reach for my phone, I don't find it hard to resist because I have no emotional investment in the phone, apps, etc.

Also helps that all of my friends know that I am often slow to respond to texts. When there are no expectations of immediate responses, it's much easier not to feel pressured into eternal communicative vigilance.
There is a local upmarket curry house near me that is quite good and has been around for nearly 5 years winning plenty of local awards for food and service, but on TripAdvisor about 1/5 of the reviews refer to a steak house that was at the same address before this curry house opened. They did not get good reviews and didn't pass health inspections. Even though the curry house changed the owner, name, management, waiting staff, chefs, food sourcing, decor, and menu the reviews are still tied to the address.

Fortunately their newer reviews are so glowing that they still get over 4 stars average and their front window is covered in plaques of their awards and their most recent 5/5 health inspection (in the UK its quite common for restaurants to flaunt their 4/5 or 5/5 health report on their front door as advertising - there is no legal requirement to show it except in the city of Hull where now almost every restaurant now has at least 4/5 rating as a consequence given the death sentence that a something below 3/5 represents).
Despite all this, at the end of the day, the password arrives over SSL just as the user typed it in, in plaintext. This is the point where a hacker or government is going to attack.

I used to think client side hashing was an answer, but you still need a salt, and even hashed salted passwords are all mental masturbation if the user uses a password like 12345.

I'm now at a place where I think the most effective approach is to require users have a password manager. The password has to be impossible to remember and guaranteed unique from any other password the user might have. This could be achieved by not allowing the user to choose their password, but have one randomly generated for them.

"Thanks for signing up. Your password is: aix<osh~isheg4aeve%e9oo(B$eexu"

Then users can use whatever password management scheme they want on the client side. It can be as simple as a notepad for many of them.

What Dropbox is doing is still good. It helps to prevent an insider from getting access to passwords and abusing the system. It's just the core problem here is password reuse and weak passwords. Passwords become much less valuable if they are guaranteed only to work in a single context and impossible to crack when bcrypted.
What Reusability isn't
While individuals that are ignorant, lazy, cheap, and impatient exist in all communities, Gwern(the author) does not possess any of those qualities. He is probably one of the least lazy, ignorant, and impatient people I have read online.(I didn't mention cheap because his writing doesn't give me any illumination into his spending habits)
I have never read on this site a 250K+ wage outside of US.
To "observe" can mean any sort of interaction between the particle and a larger, connected physical system. To observe something, you have to have a physical interaction with it (it is hit by a photon of light which then hits your eyes, to use the most basic example) and so its quantum state decoheres into a particular state.

Most scientists are fine with the idea that it doesn't matter if the larger physical system has any sort of "consciousness" or "observation"; isolated particles have quantum behaviors, interacting particles decohere towards more normal-seeming physics. However, there are theories that shouldn't be immediately discounted that do still ascribe a role to the particular observer, indicating everything from reality being relative to consciousness being a fundamental aspect of the universe. I wouldn't take these too seriously, but I wouldn't dismiss them out of hand either.

Of course, that's not addressing the worst thing about quantum mechanics: once you've finally rid yourself of the pseudoscience and poor metaphors that make it sound like magic, it seems for just a second like a normal, intuitive process that's just been obscured through poor explanation--then you learn a little more and realize it's far more bizarre than you'd imagined.
Right, so I think where we're disagreeing is that the casual ones are subtly wrong. I think they're often pretty significantly wrong and that this post was essentially poking into that notion. When purity gets on the table lots of divergent ideas tend to be tossed out to nail it down and a lot of confusion results.

The best casual definition I know of is "a pure function, f, is one such that all variation in the function's result arises from variation in its input and that all information from the function's call is contained in its result: throwing the result away is equivalent to having never called the function"

A bit of a mouthful, but it's intuitive and arises from a formal definition that works out pretty nicely. Otoh, it's complex enough that it's rarely used in its complete form. Finally, it's still subtle enough that it can lead to questions about what side effects are exactly (non-termination is an immediate example).

Anyway, I just want to continue to suggest that understanding pure functions, really, is a more difficult task than people make it out to be.
It seems like there are a lot of tools, patches, and installers in the Hackintosh/"not quite supported Mac" realm that are supposed to be blindly trusted by users. It's like a few guys figure something out and release a fix but they are rarely explained or documented.

Do you know if there is a forum thread or mailing list or site documenting what this program does with source available?
Surprisingly, I think you can fully disable G+ on Android.

But somehow, G+ has never been in the way for me. It almost feels like a grown up version of Facebook.
Arms races are a great way to bankrupt yourself. as for "Evolution is not a perfect solution finder, and in the future, we may be able to constrain it by reducing the probability of a mutation we can't handle to arbitrarily low values", that's a nice speculation, however, it's just a speculation, and not one well-founded in fact.
If you like Mr. Robot, you should watch Person of Interest.

POI is a pre-snowden series about a world "in which the NSA has a system which spies on every american citizen in order to fight terrorism" (sounds familiar?).

The show begins with the weak premise of "help us fight crimes we predict will happen", but don't be fooled by its appearance of a run-of-the-mill CBS show. Without spoiling it too much, I do want to say that by the end of Season 1, it transitions from "monster of the week" to an extremely high quality science fiction show, nearly invisibly.

I don't want to oversell it, but if you're reading HN it's very likely to be a show that you will appreciate. And like Mr. Robot, it's one of the very rare shows that has a lot of respect for tech and doesn't vomit gibberish on their audience.
7 Steps for Choosing the Right Promotional Products
Usually before I start any project at all, I'll write a couple pages summary in a Google doc. I'll consider implementation, but I won't try to plan out the entire implementation since it always changes.

I keep a separate Google doc(or a Trello or Kanbanflow board) with a list of specific pending tasks. This is designed to be easy to grab tasks off of without having to think much.

If it's been so long since I last did anything that I don't understand any of the tasks, I'll take 30 minutes to update the summary and task documents.

Should be more like

1. Find a company that needs something really bad

2. then get provably good at it.

No point building skills without a market :)

Now, if you've been with a company for 2~3+ years, you should be able to figure out what domain specific things will make you non-fungible.

I fixed my brain by cancelling my internet services. All I had was 1gb of cellphone data.

Never been happier.

Right now I am back with an internet subscription and I'm miserable. I am an internet addict and having internet at home is very bad for me. I strongly consider cancelling my internet suscription again.

Since you already experiment with things like meditation and psychedelics, you should look more into finding out more about your psyche and feelings, and other self-development themes. Find out more about your inner being, about the structure of your (and in general, human) soul, what motivates you, what deep fears you have, in what ways are you still unconscious about yourself. There are tons of books, trainings, coaches that can help with this. Basically you should do more "self-development".

There is no innate problem with facebook, slack, or computers or screens or any other similar thing. The problem is that you are getting distracted. You are not fully present with what you are doing. Thinking that facebook is a problem is just grossly misleading.

When you have fixed your internal issues, you will not care how many websites or LCD screens are around you. You will do what you want, when you want it.

Telling this to an average person is next to pointless, because they are so unconsciouss that they will not understand it. They have lost touch with the notion that they actually have a choice of whether to be distracted or not, they have a choice in how to feel in every single moment. Since you already experiment with the stuff you wrote about, you just might though.

For someone who is in deep unconscioussness, who lacks knowledge about themselves, who is constantly distracted and who eats junk food that does not provide their brains with enough nutrition, etc. - trying to do simple dumb things like "I'll only look at facebook 10 minutes a day" - sure it might give some results. But once you've gained some basic groundedness - it just becomes ineffective to look at specific distractors, and much more effective to look at deeper issues within you that cause distraction in the first place.
Opportunistic Encryption: Bringing HTTP/2 to the Unencrypted Web
there is NOTHING magical in thinking that managing global interest rates PREDICTABLY impacts economic behavior.
Sounds like a great idea. I am going to try this!
It goes far beyond "chr1" = "1". There are many other fields with next-to-impossible to interpret data. The consortia have, at best, advisory roles, they cannot enforce any rules. And given an extensible file format, third parties are going to extend it with poorly defined/standardized data. Then the consumers have to harmonize the data. Data harmonization (or cleaning) it typically one of the bottleneck steps in applying machine learning at scale.
I found this when searching for a way to generate an HDMI signal with a microcontroller (as in Atmel AVR).

You know, how we've seen done with VGA.

But apparently, you can't bitbang out a HDMI signal with anything less than an FPGA because the bitrate is just too high. And even this article mentions that for higher resolutions, you may need to misuse some lines intended for interfacing with DDR...

Note that these kinds of composites are exceedingly common these days.

Like "I can buy it online from amazon.com" common for some and "random online metals shop" for others.

Now certainly, not what Apple's gonna do, but more in the point of "there's a very very large set of companies with large amounts of expertise in this". I have pretty strong doubts you'd go to mclaren for it.

True, which is why I pay Apple money. No incentive to mine my data... in fact given that privacy is a big marketing angle Apple's incentives are to make it impossible for them to access your data even if subpoenaed or presented with a warrant.
> Baby doesn't know

Why do some people say 'baby' without any article? Shouldn't it be 'your baby', 'a baby' or 'the baby' or something like that? You wouldn't say 'sister doesn't know' or 'boss doesn't know'. I'm not a native English speaker.
I'm sorry, in my concision I conflated the Prison Industrial Complex (this includes for-profit prisons, but also the building of the prisons themselves, the bars, the plumbing, the electrical, the cameras, the servers, the alarms, the manufacturing of the clothing, prison-safe toiletries, guard equipment, guard uniforms, ID badges, magnetometers, the transportation of food, inmates, mail, general supplies... I'm sure you know this, but I guess it can be easy to overlook when I simply say "for-profit prison lobbyists" because you're right, they aren't the sole problem) with "for-profit prison lobbyists."

Of course, since our representatives (congressman, state attorneys and their offices [while some positions are appointed, they're appointed by elected officials], judges, etc.) are the people making the decisions and we vote on them, the ordinary voters are the ones ultimately culpable. Though, I believe the issues we're discussing need faster solutions than "make America less racist." If the PIC were to fall or we, via policy, were to deincentivize targeting the black population with disproportionate enforcement policies and punishment within police departments, do you really think the public would force the policies back into place?

Even though Siri hooks into Wolfram Alpha so it does very well with 'calculation style' questions and general world questions, without Google's greater knowledge of what we are doing it can't compete.

The question for people to answer individually is do they want give up more private information and have a great Google experience, or, they want more privacy, in which case Apple comes out the winner.

With Allo, asking about my future airline reservations works, but asking for future shuttle reservations did not, which was surprising since Google Inbox highlights the upcoming shuttle reservation.

EDIT: it turns out that you can't make Allo your SMS app on Android, it is separate. Allo looks cool, but I deregistered and uninstalled it: SMS, email, and separate Google Now works well for me.
