The current title is still misleading as it overcorrected in the other direction: now it sounds like the doctors made a mistake.

If the word "innovative" sounds like inappropriate - which I am not sure why that would be the case, given this was a "first-ever" technique, at least "successfully" should be added in the title to avoid it sounding like there was a mishap.

To extrapolate a bit too far; Basement dwellers beget basement dwellers.

Serious thought: Can these traits be considered (de)evolutionary after 2 generations? Will more wealthy bloodlines become better due to improved diet and care? Do we need to start incentivising going outside more often? Or just scale back the demonization of sunlight exposure? Or do we just start a social program mailing out sunlamps as a preventitive measure?
Hey, I hate lawns too but if you must have one then it should probably be kept at a reasonable length.

Of course watering it every day then cutting it in the summer (rather then just let it turn a bit brown and stop growing) is idiocy.

I don't see anything anywhere to show that the way carbon emissions increase global temperature to be false. greenhouse effect is a commonly observed phenomenon, and it's a plain fact that we emit carbon at extreme rates compared to pre-industry civilizations.

we know that pushing this button has coincided with a change in climate trends over the last 200 years. what we have to prove is then that a. this is not a natural change, and b. this change can be slowed down or reversed.

would you say that if science proved we are past the tipping point that nothing should be done to reverse the effect we've already had?
I think this is an interesting case which examines a gray area since CLIs exist between the non-copyrightable APIs and the copyrightable GUIs.

I live in what's considered an urban area due to population density. But I wouldn't personally describe it as urban. I have multiple farms near my house, and on the way to work, I pass by numerous farms for a good part of the way. Be careful confusing urban with city. It's merely population density.

Regardless, Uber et. al. doesn't reach where I live. It's not an option. It's not a choice at the moment. Living in an urban area doesn't mean you are living in the city. Public transportation is a long way off from being viable out here in these urban areas.

Right now, you cannot live and work here without having a car (unless you limit yourself to very specific conditions, but that could be said for all locations). And again, this is considered to be an urban county.
Uber said it protects you from spying.  Security sources say otherwise
I initially assumed it was to be like an incinerator for smog, burn all the incompletely combusted particulate. Jet engines being far better than trash fires at combustion.
A valid point, that certainly happens in a lot of cases. However, I think the main thrust of the open letter is more of a "protecting sources" concern rather than a "preserving the footage from being seized/destroyed" one. In that view

encrypted camera -> authorities cant get in -> they just smash it instead

is a beneficial outcome.
You're right, it does mention photojournalism, I should have read it more carefully. Apparently we've been at least somewhat at cross-purposes.

My point about was that video journalism is likely to generate huge quantities of data, which is inconvenient to transfer even in relatively favourable circumstances, let alone adverse ones. Perhaps we can agree that comms infrastructure is going to be no better in most war zones than in London.

No, in your proposed case, a single blockchain would be better than many. If one party controls the whole blockchain, it's "easy" to forge data in it [1]. On the other hand, distrust between involved parties makes it hard to forge and deny actions on a single blockchain (though it'd still be possible with a 2-party system). Btw, I wonder how and why people want to implement blockchain for use in government or banks - since they are big monoliths, 51% attack is a real possibility.

I think you are spot on. If they described the call as clear or sharp, I'd be fine. Crisp seems out of place even though it does convey a similar meaning.
Recent versions (1.11+) have had various race conditions around stdio handling.
1.12.4 (fingers-crossed) should resolves all the issues we've come up to at this point (hopefully that's it).

The rest of the lockup issues have been related to kernel bugs which would also be observed with other tools.
One major issue we've had (which is really multiple kernel issues with multiple causes) is netlink (a kernel interface) not responding and the container's mutex is held forever while we wait on netlink. The locking up part should be resolved in 1.12.4 for this as well, where it uses a timeout on the netlink socket... still going to have errors from this since if netlink isn't responding there's something else weird happening, but at least the container mutex can be released you can interact with the daemon.

In 1.14 we should have a lock-free container object so that any new issues that come up in this regard are isolated to a particular thread. This makes detecting that there is an issue harder, but something we could potentially track and even report on.

note that the daemon isn't really locking up fully, just that any command that tries to lock the container's mutex will get stuck, which includes listing it in `docker ps`, start/stop/restart/etc on that particular container.

Show HN: I Implemented Automatic UV Mapping
When people compare salaries/cost of living in different cities, I think they probably look it up online, where the data is already summarized.

The cost of living comparisons I've seen are comparing the "local economy". They compare the cost of: housing, food, transportation, health care.
Hello, I am the author. This is a reference implementation of
automatic UV mapping using Harmonic Mapping. Because the existing
literature on this topic is so hard to understand, it took me quite a
while to figure out how to implement this. Because of that, I thought I'd
publish a reference implementation of this technique, so that other
who want to do automatic UV mapping don't have to go through all the
pain that I did. To my knowledge, this is the first readable reference
implementation of Harmonic Mapping. If you search quite a bit, you can
find other implementations of Harmonic Mapping, but they are messy,
poorly commented, and hard to understand. In difference to these, my
implementation aims to be readable, and easy to integrate into other
projects. Hopefully, I have achieved this goal.

But unfortunately, if you try and read the source code of my
implementation, you may find that it is hard to understand why it
actually works. Unless you grasp the underlying mathematics, it is
probably difficult to understand the code. That is why I am currently
working on writing an article that explains the underlying
mathematics. I shall publish that article here once it is done. Until
then, please be patient.
Don't forget taxes. Your taxes are 25% higher in San Francisco compared to Seattle.
Don't like how it is based around merges. Cherry-pick workflow is so much simpler and provides clean history. "No merges" was the policy in every project I worked.

Whether or not Trump currently says he's going to do it is besides the point. That is a super common and easily disposed of objection from conservatives. If you don't think Trump is going to propose something, a pledge not to do it should be even less objectionable to Republicans.
> I guess we shouldn't have planes or cars either because they make noise.

But we've adapted our cities to accommodate this. We have zoning rules, traffic engineering, sound barriers, and so on to accommodate or redirect this noise and those solutions have been developed over the last century.

We had the same problem with cars when they were first on roads [0]. You can't expect people not to have a problem with drones until we are able to adapt our planning and design to their existence.

[0] For more on this, I recommend Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City by Peter Norton.
That was true for the first two Grand Challenges, but once that prize was claimed DARPA simply cranked up the difficulty level; the 2007 race was all about navigation in urban environments, and compliance with traffic laws was a condition of success.

Sure, of course you're right that "the bulk of the work" is not related. But it's also no secret that the "sudden spike in interest in this technology" lucker referred to above happened because the US government paid for it to happen, as a means of advancing military vehicle automation technology.
Yeah, they sort of rolled out their own MVVM implementation, based on RxJava and RxLifecycle.

On Android MVVM is more difficult than MVP in my opinion (the most popular choice, not counting spaghetti projects), mostly because the platform doesn't provide the "glue" needed to bind viewmodels to the UI layer. At first glance it looks like they did it without overengineering, which is another trap as far as these matters go.

Clearly a work of very good experts

This reminded me of this post.

"...companies don’t get killed by competition, they usually find creative ways to commit suicide."

https://www.zoho.com/general/blog/companies-don-t-get-killed...

Evernote let their CEO and some key people go, then we have seen significant price increases and now this privacy episode. 'creative ways to commit suicide' indeed.

Disclosure: We compete with Evernote.
To utilize it in a production environment, you would need:

1. have at minimum 2 instances
2. schedule backups
3. create and manage your db schema
4. manage users/roles

Admittedly RDS makes some of those tasks easy, but Dynamodb makes it even easier.

1. Create the table, provision read/write throughput
2. Create IAM role.
You might expect that companies in big markets with great growth would be more competitive (more people would want to work there, and it would be harder to get an interview / offer). But we see that this is often not the case, making it a great strategy.

Our next blog post is going to be about this (how engineers decide between offers, and how they can perhaps do it better)
In Seattle, at least, it's very common for apartments to have tiny private balconies. If a drone can deliver to one of those, it will be more convenient than trying to deal with the average apartment complex's mailroom.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/12/14/...
These drones are a lot smaller than helicopters, which will avoid many of the disadvantages of helicopters. It'll greatly reduce noise, fuel consumption, and risk of injury or death, and greatly increase the number of places where it can take off and land.
This is awesome! Open source production apps are always useful.
If you desire something more one-way, consider PCA, random projections, feature expansions (with something like Random Bits Regression), hashing, or the last hidden layer activations of your best in-house neural net. Then combine these approaches for good measure.

Agreed on the clever marketing, but at least they put their money (expensive dataset) where their mouth is (release it to reverse engineers the world over).

Fully Homomorphic Encryption challenges would be interesting, but it would disqualify our current state-of-the-art algorithms, and reduce the playing field to a handful of people who know how to write algo's that work with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (if any competitor at all is allowed to work on this, and not too busy working for the NSA).
I agree here. I think people who deny climate change just need to nut up and say that their priority is the economy. the economic cost in reversing climate change means they lose big time.

Is this a good reason to not favor that course of action? or is it laden with self-interest? is "I'll lose my whole business" a cost that anyone would be willing to pay for the benefit of the climate? how do we convince this kind of person? in the face of this opinion, should we not dismiss it?

Never thought of it that way. Percentage of income consumed by state and local taxes, housing, etc compared and average gross income would show the whole picture.
We lived in the Bay Area for 3 years. Prior to that, I agreed with you. Living there changed my mind.

More of our salary went to the local economy than I expected. We have a bunch of kids, which amplified the effect, but I am astonished at how much money it took to not feel like we were struggling to stay above water. Babysitting, gas, food, clothing, activities were all extremely expensive. Even insurance was high.

The things that didn't go to the local economy still cost more — because taxes. We bought a car from Minnesota and paid a huge amount of excise tax to the state of California. Almost everything we ordered from out of state was subject to high local sales taxes. Income tax didn't help either — our higher salary put us in a higher tax bracket. The top $50k of salary only netted us $25k in buying power, which was eaten up by rent.
But why should they believe that you really don't have the access to the key? You might end up with torture :/

Also, they could hold you captive and demand that you have someone at home send the key in exchange for your freedom.
From my quick skim of the article, I think this is the key part:

> These results imply that, after correcting for confounding variables (see notes under Table 3), those who were deficient at time of birth had on average 0.06 point higher gender-weighted SRS score, which corresponds to an increase of approximately one fourth of the s.d. (s.d. of the SRS in the total sample=0.23). When treating SRS as a dichotomous outcome, that is, comparing children with SRS scores above the suggested cutoff with children below the suggested cutoff, those who were vitamin D deficient at mid-gestation were 3.8 times more likely to be screened positive than those who were vitamin D sufficient at mid-gestation (see also Supplementary Table 4).

(SRS is the Social Responsiveness Scale)
I don't know, I'm pretty sure that's akin to asking for the clock/radio to be removed, to which I'm pretty sure they'd respond "it comes with the room".
The article is poorly argued.

Paragraph 2 -- if you pick a winning startup (uber, etc) then the bay area is great! Well, yes. The problem is picking that winning startup, and really, if you're good at that, stop wasting your life as an engineer and go invest money for a living. We shouldn't expect eng to be able to pick better than vcs, and their hit rate isn't great.

It also uses pre-tax salaries, not after tax salaries, where Seattle has a large advantage; even at $120k, you get $5k more in cash in Washington state. Which may not sound like much, but you should view it not as 5/120 but as 5/80 (roughly your take-home pay).

The discussion of housing (where exactly is that sub $800k housing in sfbay) ignores commute times and costs. Sure, if you want to live in outer sunset or east bay and deal with horrid commutes, there's cheap housing. If you want to live within 30 minutes of work, housing will likely be much more expensive.

The author also pays no attention to the effects of having to reset your social network / family to exploit moving to sfbay, banking the higher salary, then moving away. That's a large price to pay if your plan is to get to your mid 30s then move elsewhere. And hard to achieve buy-in from significant others who may similarly not be stoked about losing all his/her friends.

And finally, it finishes with a discussion of the two most generous employers, google and fb. Who, yes, are generous but also not representative.
