Glucose, insulin and potassium are already readily available on every ambulance, so all you'd need is a clinical trial proving that the mixture is effective and safe to use for heart attack patients. The costs of a clinical trial seem well within the reach of private philanthropy, especially since this isn't an experimental drug where you'd have to start from scratch--all three of those meds have been extensively studied both separately and in combination. (Glucose and insulin is a combination commonly used to treat high potassium levels, for example.)
I agree about the long term health effects of Mars gravity. I think with adults you'll probably see some bone density loss, similar to what happens to astronauts on long space missions. But arguably that will be offset by gravity at 39% of Earth's.

The bigger concern I have is for children that are born on Mars -- if you want to have a self-sustaining population there, you're going to be raising children there, and physical growth in a low-g environment isn't something we can test in the timeframe Musk has in mind.
It resolves to both on most major OSs, and I think it should as long as something isn't horribly misconfigured.

Most networking code on Unix-like OSes should (eventually) boil down to something like a call to getaddrinfo(2), a system call that returns the set of addresses that match a query — typically a hostname. The result set for localhost will often include both ::1 and 127.0.0.1, but the result from the function also includes what type of address (IPv4 or IPv6, essentially) they are: you're supposed to take both the address (such as ::1) and the address family (such as IPv6) and pass them to socket(2). (and if that fails, try the next one in the list)

This mechanism lets you resolve domains that might be IPv4 or IPv6 only, and not even need to care in the code: if the domain is IPv4 only, then getaddrinfo only returns addrinfos w/ IPv4 addresses. Likewise for v6. You forward the information to socket(2) and connect(2), and don't ever need to deal with a concrete addrinfo object.

Nah, systemd is angling to supplant docker for containers.

> The RMB and Yuan seem like good longterm investments IMO despite the current volatility in Chinese markets.

China's exchange rate is set by China alone. If there is destabilization taking place it is capital fleeing China in anticipation of a debt crash and asset bubble implosion.

I don't think it's biological. I think maybe the industry was just bigger for males.

Take Tara Strong. Sure, lots of her voices sound a little similar (you might hear Timmy Turner, then hear the girl in Batman, and think "oh yeah, they do sound similar" once you knew they were the same voice). But she can definitely "transform" her voice.

The male voice actors on The Simpsons have incredibly transformative voices, which I think comes from lots of practice in the industry. The first time I saw a chart of all the voices for each character they play, I couldn't believe it. After paying very VERY close attention, I can kind of hear Mr. Burns in Moe, but just barely.

checkout studies on fructose/glucose in a glass that is consumed, and the equivalent in fruits.

good thing that the physical reaction isn't equivalent despite the fact that calorical intake of that sugar is the same.

it's a huge shame not to consume fiber, or berries, or other fruits.

fruits were made by plants to prolong the life of the consumer, it's absolutely impossible to overdose on bananas if you aren't deliberately consuming huge amounts and aren't prepared to sit for hours on the bathroom.
Mac can do that, but it's also up to the software. Software can either detect when the default audio device changes, or it can grab the device at startup and never change. Google's software, for example, has demonstrated the latter behavior in the past for me (specifically, Google Hangouts has had a tendency to not notice if I plug in headphones+mic and continues to use the built-in mic instead).
>I didn't order a package from Amazon, but it was shipped from the company to me via amazon.

Are you sure about that?

It sounds like you bought from an arbitrager: someone who's just a middleman, posts something for sale which they don't even have, but at a higher price than some retailer that does. Then, when you buy it, they go buy the thing (on Amazon in this case), use your address as the delivery address, and then pocket the difference. It's extremely common on Ebay and Amazon both, and many other places.
I don't think that's true. A sycophant is motivated by the desire for advancement, and is typically insincere. Smithers is sincere and motivated by love, which makes him much more interesting.

These prices need to show some resiliency before any producer is going to throw serious cash towards more production. There is a pretty large lag time to build back all the services and bring new wells "online", 6-12 months?. Producers need to be confident that those prices will maintain at $45+ before you'll see any major activity.
How do you believe they are flawed? I hear this most often from people who have heard rumor or trash news from America and they think American companies have Affirmative Action "quotas" where they have to hire a certain number of people of each ethnic background. This is false.

Though quotas have been outlawed in the United States, the European Union has had a recent push to punish companies whose boards aren't composed of at least 40% women. And India, Brazil and Malaysia, among other countries, have laws and policies that address affirmative action in schools and throughout society.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/18/business/global/18iht-boar...

There are lots of anti-discrimination laws in the US. While affirmative action is usually spoken of in general terms, there is no singular policy or implementation of the ways in which affirmative action take shape in government organizations, colleges and corporations. It varies.

Court cases continue to refine interpretations of how race is used at the university level. Some schools have experimented with a variety of ways of non-race-based models, like the Top 10 model that the University of Texas employs, to ensure the racial diversity of students.

A 2005 study by Princeton sociologists Thomas J. Espenshade and Chang Y. Chung compared the effects of affirmative action on racial and special groups at three highly selective private research universities. The data from the study represent admissions disadvantage and advantage in terms of SAT points (on the old 1600-point scale):

Whites (non-recruited athlete/non-legacy status): 0 (control group)
Blacks: +230
Hispanics: +185
Asians: –50
Recruited athletes: +200
Legacies (children of alumni): +160

In 2009, Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade and researcher Alexandria Walton Radford, in their book No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal, examined data on students applying to college in 1997 and calculated that Asian-Americans needed nearly perfect SAT scores of 1550 to have the same chance of being accepted at a top private university as whites who scored 1410 and African Americans who got 1100.

While the data and legal interpretation of Affirmative Action and anti-discrimination laws in the US are constantly changing today it has the largest real impact on Universities and Government.

Pretty interesting. I love how bespoke data centers are converging along very similar lines. I'm sure if you were inside a Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or Facebook data center you would recognize the new design touch points. The old data center is dead, long live the new data center.

This was the second big thing Google had learned early on: "The equipment is reduced to its basics so it runs cooler. It can also be easily accessed and repaired quickly." -- slide 12/17

The whole sheet metal box around a server was a real waste of time if your employees are the only ones accessing the area, and the only reason they want to touch the machine is to repair it. This in contrast to NetApp (where I had worked before) which was busily designing impressive cabinets that would "stand tall" on the raised flooring of the data center.

> Even if you're getting calories from your coffee it doesn't impact your weight loss because you're still eating less calories than your body needs to maintain the weight.

This is completely dependent on other factors. Weight loss is dependent on a hell of a lot of things in tandem. It is mathematically strictly better to say, drink only black coffee or sugar-free energy drinks in the morning. Caffeine is an appetite suppressant. The difference is that most people don't have the personal willpower to stick to the fasting without a few calories to help them along.

Weight loss in general is precisely mathematical in pacing and it will absolutely make you lose weight faster if you consume less calories.

I interviewed with Coinbase a couple years ago and had a horrible experience from start to finish. The whole team was super disorganized throughout and the people I talked to weren’t inspiring in the least. The CEO was super rude at the end of the process too.

I aced the stupid online test they wanted, then aced the phone interview with Brian (the CEO), and then on top of that they wanted me to come in and contract with them for a week as a “trial” which I did do partially (didn’t do the full week because I was busy that time of year). Their expectations of the trial were entirely unrealistic, misguided, and in some cases nonexistent (which is worse than misguided imo). It was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Anyway, jokes on them because they lost out on a great engineer. I wonder how many more they lost out on due to misguided and mismanaged hiring practices. Now I’m shipping software to more users than Coinbase can ever dream of, having more impact on those users than Bitcoin ever will, and making far more money to boot while working with a higher caliber Eng team. So I'm incredibly thankful for having dodged that bullet.

> I have no idea why people keep thinking microservices is all about scalability.

It's an aspect. It's often the beginning of a micro-service migration story in talks I've heard.

> Microservices is all about taking a big problem and breaking it down into smaller components

... and putting the network between them. It's all well and good but the tradeoffs are not obvious there either. Most engineers I know who claim to be experts in distributed systems don't even know how to formally model their systems. This is manageable at a certain small scale as some computations take 35 or more steps to reveal themselves. But even the AWS team has realized that this architecture comes with the added burden of complex failure modes[0]. Obscenely complex failure modes that aren't detectable without formal models.

Even the presenter mentioned... why even HTTP? Why not a typed, serialized format on a robust message bus? Even then... race conditions in a highly distributed environment are terrible beasts.

It's exactly this. A private audit is generally cheap. The truth with these is that the audit really doesn't mean anything - you will often find such audits performing such a superficial sweep of the software that even glaring problems may not be found.

Publicly releasing an audit puts the auditor's reputation on the line. As such, the audit will always be performed very seriously, digging into the code and scrutinizing every possible angle - at a level usually not even remotely done for a private audit.

All said: a private audit means squat all.

For me, it looks like a different image. As in, I would never have expected that the differences to the original weren't a (bad) choice by the "designer" making the image. That seems risky, and in many use cases a worse kind of artifact.
I initially flagged this thread because it looked like a classic flamebait topic.

I unflagged it because it looks like a civil discussion was being had.

However I am sick to death of "Women In Tech" constantly coming up on HN, a while back gender topics would sometimes account every tenth discussion thread with classic left vs right rants and I think most people here have had their fill of this topic.

I think there is a huge population of political activists acting as concern trolls with respect to gender and sexuality topics. You have anti-FGM activists attacking tumblerinas, you have outrage junkies attacking conservatives because of something to do with bathrooms and 0.01% of the population.

None of this is supposed to lead to a healthy discussion, it is a culture war fought exclusively by armies of strawmen (and strawwomen!).
Thats like the 0.1% of people.
The main benefit of microservices is not performance, it is decoupling concerns. As scale goes up, performance goes down and decoupling gives a better marginal return: it's often easier to work with abstract networking concerns across a system than it is to tease apart often implicit dependenicies in a monolithic deployment.

Of course, this is context sensitive and not everyone has easily decouplable code bases, so YMMV. But not recognizing the myriad purposes isn't useful for criticism.
The general public calls any sort of data analysis beyond Excel sheets "big data". A fluff piece about the magic of big data goes well with the company's description: We are a premier consulting company for forward-thinking and innovative projects.

Their first product was long, long, long delayed. This seems like a better product but as a company they seem to be pretty clueless. I backed the original product but they've not seen fit to include us in any marketing nor offer any incentive to upgrade.

The original product makes more sense since it's more likely that people who are hiking or whatever circumstances have them off of a cellular network will bring their devices. There's never going to be enough critical mass for someone to depend on this as something active in their area.

Yes the combination of compulsory and preferential voting has a great calming influence on the political system. Our two major parties (labor and liberal) are very similar in practice as they are competing for the middle ground, not the exciting the extreme wings to the polls. The only downside is it tends to make for boring politics, but overall boring is good if you have to live in the country.

If you are in tech, Seattle has high salaries and no state income tax. Housing costs are rising, but I had a nice 1BR in Capitol Hill for ~ 1700 before buying a 3 BR townhouse in West Seattle with the same monthly cost for mortgage and taxes combined. Walk scores > 90 in both neighborhoods I've lived in and have never had a car. The equivalent housing would cost at least double in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the winter in Seattle is a downer and it's a bit weird socially.
The problem is how these laws are enforced. For example, statistics and performance reviews are often used, which probably do work fine for manual labor jobs where employees are treated as a commodity (and for which these laws were probably originally designed for). Affirmative action BTW is not a good idea either, but not bad enough to outlaw IMO.

Yeah this always drives me crazy. You will often see stories about how successful is the school system of, say, Finland, compared with the USA. Well Finland has about as many school children as the Bronx has, so it's kind of an odd comparison. If you threw in Estonia and Romania and enough other European countries to make an equipopulous comparison, then it would make sense.
Best i can tell, Poettering cooked up PA back when ALSAs dmix was something you manually enabled on cheap soundchips.

Frankly i think it would have gone nowhere if Canonical didn't decide they needed to copy Windows' "one volume slider pr program" thingy that was introduced in Windows 7 or there about.

Note btw that these days Poettering is no longer involved with PA development.
