People hang out in front of the door, usually with some sort of sob story about how all their keys melted or something. Then you have to decide between "do I want to be a dick to someone who is probably my neighbor" or "do I want to let in the murderer". Fortunately I've invented the third option, "looks like it's time to go get some coffee".

> Microsoft introduced an entirely new kind of tool for digital artists.

It isn't an entirely new tool, it is an HDR, higher res, larger version of a Cintiq, with a built in slow PC with last-generation mobile graphics. The hinge and stuff was definitely an improved industrial design.

Those screen improvements alone are probably enough for lots of professionals to switch from cintiq, even if they lose support for professional-tier desktop hardware, but what about the pen? As far as I can tell the pen doesn't even have tilt detection and from videos you have to use the dial/puck to simulate rotating or tilting the pen.

In spite of that, it was definitely more innovative than anything Apple showed.
I'm guessing that the data couldn't completely be silenced because then any heavy dynamic compression at playback would bring out the optimization and break the sound.
There are soooo many things I can think of that Apple could do to 'innovate'.

Well, consider that an air bag is basically a bomb going off in your face. And I'm pretty sure explosions from up close cause at least temporary hearing damage.

> Deployment of a driver’s side front airbag will generate mean peak sound pressure levels of approximately 160 dB (decibels).

> Studies have shown that the pain threshold from noise is about 140 dB and that a single exposure to sound pressure of this level can cause permanent, severe hearing loss.

> The deployment of a side airbag generates a mean peak sound air pressure of 178 dB.

So yeah ... a car crash will definitely mess with your hearing permanently.

Ending aging won't make humans immortal. Humans will still die in car crashes, suicides, murders, bath slips, etc. All ending aging will do is stop us from dying slowly by decrepitude.

Life expectancy without aging is something like 550 years [1] - not my idea of immortality.

Different food items will have different absorption rates for the nutrients they contain when passing through your stomach, upper & lower intestine. For example, an apple may contain a small amount of iron absorbed at a rate of 20%, while a steak may contain significantly more, with an absorption rate of 80%.

These absorption rates can also vary widely from person to person, based on the flora in your gut, the drugs you ingest, your diet, and also certain DNA (eg. most East Asians never developed specific lactose related digestive abilities [1]) and ancestry can significantly alter this too.

For example, my grandfather had issues with high iron absorption, thus he would regularly donate blood to get rid of the excess iron in his bloodstream. Neither I nor my immediate family share that issue, but he made dietary choices based in part on avoiding iron rich food (like the iron enriched cookies I used to eat, mmm).

TL;DR: Your body & the food you eat are very complex things to understand, and we understand the tiniest sliver about it. Highly processed food likely misses important nutrients you need.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Hacker News is not exactly terribly popular amongst the social justice part of the tech community. Also, users' opinions can only be influenced by threats of violence that they hear about, very few people who aren't in the immediate social circles of the offenders generally hear about these threats, and those are under social pressure to accept them for obvious reasons. Not banning people who haven't made threats of violence but whose opponents have tried to tie to unrelated people that have for political reasons has probably done far more damage to Twitter's acceptance amongst people who refuse to participate in communities where death threats are normal.
Which is exactly why it won't catch on.

Yes, and notation is key. If there is even just one symbol that the student can't understand, then the entire understanding of the paragraph, or even entire book, is at stake.

However, I do think that examples and applications help a great deal. Sometimes, a mere description of first principles doesn't do it for me, and then, when I see an actual example, I suddenly understand it and the theory along with it.

Ubuntu vs. Linux Mint – Which Is Better in 2016?
The thing I really miss from OSX in every Linux distro I've tried is the right-most preview pane in Finder column view and the similar 'Quicklook' (press spacebar to get a preview of the content of most filetypes).

When I use any of the major Linux file managers, it feels like I've gone back in time 20 years. Why is OSX still the only OS which lets me easily preview the content of my files without having to open them first?
Why? What evidence is there?

Hasn't Microsoft done the right thing here though as a company for the long-term: visionary CEO leaves meaning potential for great risk to the company > put someone in place who shores up the finances > once finances are in a great position bring a visionary in and change things around again. It reads to me like Microsoft's long-term strategy as a company is actually really good. They must have known they could not continue their dominance but they could continue to be relevant if they had the finances to back it up. Swapping one visionary CEO for another could is a risk because big ideas don't always work (if executed poorly).

For any company, a charismatic dominant CEO leaving causes instability a board would be foolish not to try and stabilise things at the company before moving on again. A CEO does not act in isolation even though this article paints it like that and takes guidance from their board.

Ultimately I would like to see that people are allowed to maintain full control over their access to money and information.

It is incredible bit of research, I agree, but it still has rough edges and should be treated as such, a work in progress. I do not think this book should be the bible of causality, and I think we're worse off for thinking it is.

Personally, I find the work of Richardson and Robins in Single World Intervention Graphs https://www.csss.washington.edu/Papers/wp128.pdf far more intuitive and compelling than Pearl's do-calculus. The notation is too slightly cleaner and it does away mostly with the unorthodox notation Pearl uses.

If you want people to improve, you must promote curiosity and indulge their questions. Even when those questions are stupid (in some fashion).

In a philosophy class, the teacher explained us that the system used for the Shoah minimized the number of bloodthirsty lunatics needed (mostly the few that made the actual killing).

We have a law for pretty much everything. Food laws--fine. Most laws--fine.

But in the United States, the fines/fees for breaking these laws are just unfair.

The same old analogy comming up. A rich man get's a $500 red light ticket. He tells the wife over dinner. With the poor man gets the same ticket; it just might be the last straw. I'm getting so tired of writing that senerio, but I guarantee someone's rent is in jeopardy right now because of the excessive penalty.

I don't mind laws. I don't like being overcharged for the infraction.

We live in a society where the rich can do pretty much as they please.

I don't think the founding fathers would approve. For awhile, I belive the 8th admendment has been grossly violated.

Laws--fine, but tie fees/punishment to income. It's way overdue. I believe Sweden took the plunge?
There is still so much science to do related to food, we just do not have a good grasp of all the nutrients your body needs and what allows you to absorb those nutrients the best. One form of protein from a plant can have completely different absorption rates than that of protein from a cow, its a complete crapshoot to try and blaze a trail with processed staple food products due to the lack of understanding we have of nutrition, and its going to take decades of research to even start to unravel the mysteries of the human bodies digestion system.

One very interesting thought I read about:

Modern math classes tend to be very applied. I.e. the primary objective is to get the student to be able to solve real world problems with math. (A farmer sells 3 potatoes for a dollar. How much do 8 potatoes cost?). There seems to be some indication however, that abstract math is more accessible to some children, especially if they aren't supported by parents during their homework, etc. Because of this real-world to mathematical-world translation step. By exploring ways to make math more accessible, "friendly" and useful, teachers might actually make it harder for students to pick up math.

This is an interesting thought for me, because I tutored kids in math who were not doing good in school. I kind of ended up with a typical scheme to get them from "risk of failing the class" to Bs and occasionally As.

First I would introduce a a few techniques (equation solving in every case and the mathematical topic of their class - logarithms, binomial terms, etc. - also) and then give them very simple drill exercises. And a lot of them that we would solve together. I.e. simplifying exponentials $exp(3) * exp(5) = exp(8)$ etc. I always made sure that they were able to solve these drill exercises eventually, and they were all able to, because they picked up the scheme.

As a next step, I gave them the applied problems their teachers would ask them to solve, and made it into a translation problem. I.e. I explicitly told them that this was now just a translation. They could often identify with this because they self-identified often as language persons ("I like the literature class best", or "I like french class most"). I wouldn't ask them to solve the translation result right away. But they often just naturally did because it was not so different from the drill exercises.

Point is, I do not at all understand why I was needed for this. The teachers consistently failed their students in class, by not providing them with the very basic math skills and confidence that they needed to solve more complex problems.
For those interested, we wrote a blog post about single points of failure with DNS last Friday when the Dyn attack happened. Our strategy ensures our customers are mostly unaffected by issues like this. See https://blog.ably.io/routing-around-single-point-of-failure-...
What all of those graphs have in common is that they depict datapoints near or below zero, so they necessarily must include the zero. The only exceptions to this rule are Chen and Orlik's graph, for which the data only goes down to 1, yet they decided to start at 0, and Sen's graph, which ranges from 1.8, yet he went all the way down to 1.

For comparison, Feroli's data has a strictly positive range, but the graph starts at -5. Martin even went so far as to include two y-axes on the same graph, yet only one of them started at 0.

I lived on liquid food for about a month after a surgery and when I started eating solid foods again my stomach was actually handling it better than it ever had.

I'm not advocating eating liquid foods for months, I thought it was hard as I was hungry all the time in the first week or so. But doctors tell patients that go through some surgeries to eat liquid foods for at least a month before the surgery. How can it be bad? It's not that the bowel movement stops like you are suggesting.

I always find stories like this fascinating. We're talking about a place where a mythical event was supposed to occur. It's like analyzing the place where Promethius first brought fire, or the spot where Osiris was resurrected. Maybe interesting for anthropology, but by no means the 'hard science' implied by the tone and presentation of the article.

Of course they're OUR myths, so it's important that we describe them with serious sounding words, and pretend that they're a valid spur for hard scientific research.

There isn't any evidence, outside of mythology, that this place or slab of marble has anything special to reveal about our universe. Just because you're looking through a scientific tool, does not change the fact that what you're looking at is mythology. You're just looking at a communion wafer through a microscope.

Still, it's fascinating to me that we present it in the same tone and context that we present LHC results.

> Your own wikipedia link does not say eating garlic is helpful to humans.

As you may know, you shouldn't look in wikipedia for that kind of information... here you go:

"Recent studies support the effects of garlic and its extracts in a wide range of applications. These studies raised the possibility of revival of garlic therapeutic values in different diseases. Different compounds in garlic are thought to reduce the risk for cardiovascular diseases, have anti-tumor and anti-microbial effects, and show benefit on high blood glucose concentration."

They released the first mass market all-in-one personal computer with mouse input + pixel based text rendering, multiple fonts & cursive. They pushed for USB-A standard 19 years ago. They killed parallel & serial ports. They started the trend of making beautiful devices that don't feel like minified mainframes. They made UNIX truly mass market. They made the first music player that could handle more than 8 songs. They revolutionized smartphones + introduced touch based keyboards. They created WebKit.

They also advertised. And I love most of their ads (at least those during Steve Jobs' time).

Personally, I am extremely happy it's USB-C only and it has no USB-A ports. USB-A is one of the worst popular connectors in history. USB-C is great. Going full USB-C gives the manufacturers the incentive to produce native USB-C hardware. Don't worry, eventually all hardware will be USB-C and the world will be better off.

Yes, you will need to buy new hardware. You're buying a multi thousand dollar machine and you are concerned about the price of a YubiKey?! And for expensive stuff, like professional audio interfaces you can just use a dongle. With a YubiKey dongles are a PITA. For stuff that stays on your desk, not so much. I still use a FireWire audio interface.

On the other hand I regret the loss of HDMI. While I can expect to get a new YubiKey, it will take at least a decade for all the HDMI-only TVs and projectors and whatnot to be replaced. Carrying that dongle is a PITA, just like carrying the ethernet dongle.
