I've found that if I let my email sit for a bit, a lot of issues tend to get resolved without my input. I check my mail first thing in the morning and then usually again in the afternoon. I get an order of magnitude fewer emails than you though.
I highly disagree. His suggestion was helpful and not at all condescending. It could be wrong, or incomplete (there may be another reason why OP isn't getting traction), but that is very different from getting dumped on.
There are cheaper optical water level sensors in the aquarium trade that might work for you. Check out the Tunze Osmolator as an example. It could easily be connected to a GPIO on the pi.
I understand by your name that you may be a neural net enthusiast, but I would question how much practical experience you have.

It's a perfectly valid statement to say that a pi will run inference on 90% of the models out there, and I have experience with the same. It would be similar to claiming that (if it could), a pi could run 90% of the games out there.

Once again, I am speaking from practical experience from having implemented tensorflow neural nets on low power devices. And I sincerely get the feeling that although you're enthusiastic, you have no clue what you're talking about.

Rather than making offhand comments like facepalm, I would challenge you to either offer up some evidence to the contrary (you could start by trying to find a tensorflow model that a pi wont run), or spend more of your time doing something more practical than acting like a clueless rabid fanboy.
In some cases (and you left out marketing, which often exceeds the R&D costs). In other cases, the cost is directly related to 10% less than other treatments. Or to whatever the CEO thinks he can screw out of patients. See: Shkreli; Epipen.
Patrick McManus, the Firefox developer of this feature, confirmed that hard reload will load immutable resources from scratch, so the user always has a nuclear option for fixing cache corruption. :)
We tried something similar a few years ago with Spokefly. We didn't own the bikes, anyone with an extra bike could participate, and we didn't put GPS on them. Users checked bikes in and out with their phone's GPS. There were numerous problems and the company failed.

The market for our service wasn't big enough. If you owned the bikes I think it would work better since sizes are consistent, they're easier to brand, etc. That said it's really hard to make money on it when you're competing with publicly subsidized bike shares and VC subsidized ride shares.

Phones still don't work well. It was too easy for the GPS location to be wrong or for users to have phone connectivity problems, causing a lot of frustration. Our service was popular at big events where traffic was bad (eg SXSW) but that's when cell service is the worst. If you rely on phones your users will have problems.
It's an interesting list, but I can understand Wikipedia not wanting it.

Somebody somewhere is maintaining the official list. If you start a new bank, you can just make up your own Issuer Identification Number and expect to interoperate with the rest of the financial industry. Since someone somewhere has a official list, Wikipedia should publish or link to that official list.

I suppose if the official list is "secret" or unpublished, then the question is trickier. Even in that case, I think the best option would be for Wikipedia to offer an external link to someone compiling or maintaining such a list.

Ask HN: When Is a Gender Neutral Bathroom a Safe Space?
/+ rant

To date, I've been bemused by the notions of gender neutral bathrooms and safe spaces. Ok, we're really going out of our way to be inclusive and let people know that they are valued. We're all certain that everyone brings something to the table.

Last weekend, my daughter returned from college and we got to talking about a new organization she joined. In their initial meeting, new members were asked to introduce themselves. The instruction was to state their name, major and preferred gender pronouns.

Meaning, when they are talking about you, do they refer to you as 'he, him, his', 'she, her, hers', or 'it, it, its'?

Is that a thing? If so, I'm fine with it, but forgive me in advance if I get it wrong. If this protocol flies, it'll be like learning German: Everything has a gender, whether it does or not. I was never able to get my ders, dies and dasses straight, either. I worry.

Which got me thinking about gender neutral bathrooms. I encountered this phenomenon at Philz in Berkeley. Used to be 1 his & 1 hers, but now, 2 neutrals. This is a good thing for the gals and not so much for the guys. I don't mind the additional wait, but there is now a lot more pressure to leave the seat down when I'm done. I don't want to be that guy who left the seat up when the next person in line turns out to be female.

I'm not bemused by tipping for counter service. Imagine tipping the MacDonald's cashier. That's what we're talking about here. When did this happen? That clever sales person for Square or whoever tells restaurant owners they can increase wages and attract higher quality counter personnel because the app shames customers into tipping for counter service. I get it, it's tough to make a living at minimum wage work, but you're serving me after I've tipped you. What if I don't tip at all? Are you offended? Are you going to scoop me a little less ice cream or serve me yesterday's guacamole? Should I worry about that?

Precisely this. Large scale infrastructure growth also costs quite a bit, especially when you pay for your own network and other works in progress https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/
Actually, I think a variation on this makes the most sense: Go cheap. Kamikaze drones, cheap as possible - then it becomes a question of logistics, and AFAIK I'd bet on the US military's logistics over just about anyone else's.
You can with an explosively formed penetrator [0]. In fact, I don't think it would be all that difficult.

Take, for example, the BLU-108 submunition [1] [2]. It deploys four independent "skeet" submunitions, each of which weighs 3.4 kg. The warheads themselves weigh less than 1kg.

The skeets are ejected from the BLU-108 dispenser with a high angular velocity, resulting in precession. They also deploy a retarding parachute. The precession causes them to "look" in a cone-shape of decreasing diameter as they descend (using passive infra-red and active laser sensors), and when they detect a valid target they fire.

These are designed to destroy tanks.

You couldn't just drop a skeet submunition from a drone -- you would need some way of giving it the required angular velocity. But if you're prepared to sacrifice the drone (which seems reasonable for destroying a tank), you could fix the explosively formed penetrator to the bottom of the drone along with a sensor package. Then you use the drone's own control authority to aim the weapon and detonate it when it's pointed at the target.

I'm not sure what the warhead's effective range would be, but probably somewhere between 10m and 100m. The payload for the drone would be around 3kg.

It should be noted that explosively formed penetrators don't require much technical sophistication to build and a cheap digital camera could be used for aiming.

It may seem seem surprising that such a small weapon can destroy a tank, but tank armour is optimized according to the expected threat environment, so armour is much thinner on the roof. Explosive reactive armour could probably defeat it, though.

No one will be allowed to deploy automated anti-drone guns in populated civilian areas of Western countries. They would be tremendously expensive to install and maintain, would present their own security risks, and would endanger people if they ever fired at a wrong target or missed. Those systems will only ever be used to guard military facilities and maybe select sites in Washington DC.

The scariest, science-fiction-coming-to-pass quote from this article:

"in the future, these cheap, highly available tool/toys turned into weapons will be used in greater numbers and, eventually, will feature autonomous flight coordination, also known as swarm technology."

Just picture a swarm of 50 or 100 drones suddenly emerging over a building and coming at you (or your tank) like a flock of killer bees. Note that they would NOT need conventional radio control from an observer station -- the kind of radio that currently you try to jam in order to disable a drone. All they need is to communicate between themselves, which could be done in a variety of ways, even optical (blinking IR light on the leader, etc).

This level of swarm AI could be implemented in a RPi right now.

Perhaps if a bike is unused for a long time, or repeatedly gets returned immediately after borrowing it, they assume it's broken and pull it out for servicing. Not having docks, they wouldn't need to put the replacement bikes back at the same location or time and that could be done in cheaper batches.

Felony Charges for 6 Reporters at Inauguration Protests
Did i put this on a science journal?
Because of the material's uniquely diametric state transitions and properties, it gives itself naturally to negative feedback (self-regulating systems) -- for example, as a coating in space windows that reflects more radiation as the temperature increases. Not to mention the regulation of heat/electrical conductivity which is the primary subject of the article, in which the material behaves like an exotic semiconductor:

“This material could be used to help stabilize temperature,” said study co-lead author Fan Yang, a postdoctoral researcher at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry, a DOE Office of Science User Facility where some of the research was done. “By tuning its thermal conductivity, the material can efficiently and automatically dissipate heat in the hot summer because it will have high thermal conductivity, but prevent heat loss in the cold winter because of its low thermal conductivity at lower temperatures.”
It's easy to make it look native, but in my experience as a user of these usually-ported-from-Linux apps, the difference in responsiveness can be noticeable.
Just a few words from the author. This app came out of my frustration and lack of trust (read paranoia) in exiting password managers. All of the popular ones stores passwords in the "vault", which means that these companies take responsibility for ensuring that your data is safe. It is hard for me to believe in this, even a bit, so here we have DerivePass.

It generates password using scrypt from the Master Password and domain/login combination. As you type - it displays emojis that represent the Master Password in secure way. Only domain names and logins are stored in the cloud, and they are secured by AES-256 encryption with key derived from the Master Password too.
I have watched incompetent pricks do a little bit of this and jump ahead of me everytime. Unfortunately, I am a pussy. Anyone got some advice on how to harden the fuck up? I am serious.

Edit: Harden up without being a prick. I am not incompetent.
It's interesting to think that such a thing may potentially be stable at useful temperatures and pressures.

I'm also interested to hear more about the plans to reproduce the sample for other testing, since the 'metallic hydrogen core' idea gets thrown around quite often when talking about gas giant planets. Being able to actually study the material's properties would possibly advance that aspect of our knowledge of planetary formation significantly.
Well explained. I understand, and rescind my plea in my former post. I had lost sight of the fact that we would be dragging someone into this discussion who is no longer here to give his consent or defend his decision.
This has eloquently described one of the reasons why I and many close friends have quit Facebook, well done. I did expect to see Mr Robot mentioned there, which mentions similar issues as well (although not as elegantly as Black Mirror, perhaps).

I've seen many instances of this revolting phenomenon at concerts. Illuminated audiences with arms raised, blocking the view of others and ruining their own experience, just to capture some blurry photo or shaky video with distorted audio.

As a millenial I grew up a diehard technophile, and even after becoming a software engineer and being fully immersed in technology daily, I've become wary and mistrusting of many "innovations". I don't know if this is a natural process of maturing (get off my lawn?) or if we are slowly realizing how damaging these new habits can be.

> I know, but when is the last time you saw a diet recommendation article of the form "Our Bayes factor on kale doing such and such is..."?
The only things 99.9% of people pay attention to (or know how to interpret) are authoritative-sounding recommendations, so that's what diet writers write.

Attacking writers (to no disagreement from me) is a pretty odd response to a defense of science's role in society. Science coverage is garbage, but that has approximately nothing to do with your point, nor my response to it.

> No, I think you actually misunderstand what science can do for us here. Science can give us confidence intervals that let us maximize expected utility given what we know. We don't just assume that the most likely hypothesis is true.

Oh for the love of God, this is a masterpiece of pedantry. You're mistaking "I assume everyone here is intelligent enough to understand what I'm getting at despite my lack of precision in a brief three-sentence comment" for "I don't understand what I'm talking about". Just because you don't fit the former statement doesn't mean I fit the latter.
"Google has leveraged their properties to force people to trust them with the rest of the internet"

We experimented with Trello at our company before we bought into Jira, and the attempt fell flat on its face because of Trello simplicity. It's hard to describe the difference, but in a nutshell Jira was better at supporting collaboration, capturing knowledge, and supporting subtly different workflows that different teams required.

Based on that, it's kind of a neat move by Atlassian. Now they have an instant base of potential new Jira users. As these Trello customers grow and find out that their needs can no longer be met, now there is a clear upgrade path.

Presumably they will build some migration tools to make the upgrade seamless/convert the database of tickets. Or they could even build in cross-product integration so you can embed links to Jira tickets in Trello cards, or vice versa.
The whole idea of health insurance is backwards and inconsistent with a free market in my opinion (fraudulent). The problem is that the government has enshrined it as the gateway to healthcare.

Insurance is a useful product for mitigating risk, so accident insurance could be a very constructive concept (protecting against accidental injuries, broken arms, falls, car crashes, etc.). However, health problems are not a risk; they are a guarantee with probability approaching one as you age. The whole point of insurance is that you mitigate risk by paying more than you take out on average, but that doesn't make sense for healthcare, where almost everyone ends up going over their limit near the end of their lives.

If we didn't have all of these subsidies everywhere and inflated demand from Medicare/Medicaid/restrictive occupational licensing/FDA-granted monopolies/ACA, then perhaps we could pay everything out of pocket, which would make a lot more sense.
I'm confused. I understood your list of criticisms of the paper as reasons why the paper doesn't have a valid conclusion. I would expect these to be scientifically valid criticisms if they're expected to be valid criticisms of science, even if they aren't in a science journal. (My head is spinning a bit writing that.) I must be misunderstanding. Can you clarify what you mean?

(Note that my initial comment is just that the article is claiming more than 'AtheistPUA is putting forward, regardless of whether it's conclusions are valid or not.)

Nope, I haven't seen "fake news" in trending and I share your pain otherwise.

For all the apocalyptic talk of AI and non-existent privacy... I can think of nothing less relevant to my tastes and interests than the trending news feature of Facebook... except for maybe the suggested pages feature... oh yeah, and ads. I have gone far out of my way to say which stories I'm not interested in (they ask, after all) and nope... same useless crap different day. So far, if this is the edge of a dystopian future of unbounded technical tyranny: I am thus far not all that impressed. In truth, the only thing that is apparent is they've modeled an "every man" that they then use to throw stuff at me to see what sticks. Apparently, "every man" reads a lot of People Magazine and watches a lot of ESPN.

The only reason I use Facebook has to do with my friends and family that are reasonably easy to reach on the platform en masse. Everything else about the platform is useless on a good day and actively annoying on a bad one. I might add that I don't worry too much about sharing personal details with them and really, really wish they'd make a service that takes advantage of all that I've shared with them... even good ads would be welcome. I think I may well just shut my Facebook account down and put reminders in my calendar to touch base more personally with those friends and family I like keeping in touch with.
