This is my worst nightmare. Authorities want no one to have any privacy. Imagine a future world where authoritian leaders have surveillance over everyone and everything. I have nothing really secret in my email, nothing illegal. but if the us does it, then the uk or the rest of europe next. then they share the names and passwords back to the us, and then the us has my passwords. We need to change the rules governing border authorities in the us. I know its not an area of normal civil rights, but they operate under the control of the pres and the congress. Why are they okay with unjustified search? Eventually it will start hitting the families of congressmen, and they'll notice, just like a few of them started accepting gay people when their own kids were gay.
And that is the reason you can never have a rational discussion about the subject. No matter how strong the arguments you present, the other side can always say "b... but... but think about the terrorists and the paedophiles!" and if you reply you get called a sympathiser - for having a rational discussion.

> Yes, it was. I need to set up command-line email locally on my computer. How do I do this on Windows? (or, on Linux, for that matter)

All of those questions are answered in the man page for git send-email. You can specify them via a command line option when invoking that command, or just add that information to the git config file.

> Wait, no, I can't. Gmail replaces tabs with spaces in plaintext emails.

Is that done by the Gmail web client or is it something done by their SMTP server?

> Oh, I see, I need to muck with a Message-ID header.

One thing that I think would be an improvement to git format-patch and git send-email is having it default to setting the Message-Id header in the email it generates rather than relying on the SMTP server to generate it.

> but often it's better to view a conversation you haven't seen before in a linear fashion.

How do you deal with the case when multiple discussion threads are interleaved with each other? Is it easy to find the email that was partially quoted the message you're viewing?

> California will lose some or all of the water in its largest reservoir

Lake Oroville is actually the second largest reservoir and one of six reservoirs with a storage capacity over 1M acre feet of water: http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/reservoirs/RES

The largest is Lake Shasta: http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/stationInfo?station_id=SH... with a storage capacity of 4.3M acre feet of water, approximately 800,000 more acre feet than Lake Oroville.

The grey matter in your brain is mostly cholesterol. I've personally lost 10 pounds in 10 days eating a high fat, low carb diet, with light excercise about 3 days a week. Kerrygold is my #1 choice for butter, because it comes from grass-fed cows.
I'd be surprised if a "car train" running on rubber tires, even if as aerodynamically efficient somehow as a high-speed train, could ever match the same efficiency per occupant-mile. Ignoring everything else, steel wheels on steel rails have a massive efficiency advantage from lower rolling resistance alone - and a train carrying 400 people is going to have far fewer wheels per passenger than a "car train" carrying 400 people.

This particular code looks fairly straightforward (could definitely be clearer). It's building a url and including the email as a path segment. What the remote service (http://tokendispenser-yeriomin.rhcloud.com/) is doing with that email is harder to determine.

The erosion on the primary spillway is looking pretty nasty. Even if / after they manage to keep the emergency spillway from collapsing, they will probably need to continue running the primary spillway at a high flow rate to get the reservoir down to safe levels to ready for future storm systems and the coming snow melt, and this will continue to eat away at the hillside (they're currently dropping lake levels by 4" (!!) an hour). That's a significant outflow. It's a good thing that the spillways are decently far away from the actual dam structure. But it sure is going to be one expensive cleanup operation in the dry season..

Fingers crossed that things stay drier and cooler for the sake of all these people
How far can court orders go? Let's say he was a crooked accountant and the police couldn't understand his spreadsheet. Is he obligated to show him what he was doing?

This is the biggest con for me. Being able to hit the ground running depends much more on the employer than the future employee. Without knowing details about the state of the project (clean or spaghetti code) you can't possibly say if you can hit the ground running or not.

They may as well say "we only hire liars".
Fun fact: TV whitespace is where the wireless microphones used in most live events operate. Very large, big-budget sound companies and venues can get licenses, run extremely expensive digital gear that manages to be reliable while making efficient use of bandwidth, and refresh their inventory every few years.

To have a notion that multiplication by imaginaries causes rotation, you'd need Euler's formula. I honestly think the best way to get a visual sense for why multiplication by rexp(itheta) is to look at the first few terms of the taylor series added together and see that the adders combine into a spiral that converges on rcos(theta) + isin(theta). that is still plenty visual for me.

In one of the previous auctions they tried and failed to outbid Verizon and that was "only" $4.5 Billion or so. Imagine if Google Fi were based on a single country-wide chunk of spectrum exclusive to Google instead of them being an MVNO. Verizon did and made sure Google lost! If Google fiber is any indication, cell phone companies would have faced very stiff competition.

The town is highly desirable waterfront community, the region has a bit of a jobs problem, and the town was in a funk, visitors were down, local businesses were struggling, all the towns talented young people move off to larger cities, to places that are fun.

Now this place is fun too, we have a nano-brewery opening up, hipster restaurants, new boat tours...

The town planner loves AirBnB because it lets the town use some slack housing supply like guest cottages and in-law suites to host visitors in the downtown area, where it would be impossible to build a new hotel.

And short term rentals bring in a different kind of visitor than the hotels ever did. People come and stay for a week with their family.

It's all really nice actually.

And a large majority of AirBnB hosts are women. AirBnB is empowering a lot of women to become micro real estate entrepreneurs and earn money.

When people support blanket bans, they are cutting off income and opportunity for people, mostly women.

Punish bad guests, have the police fine them. Towns make money off speeding and parking tickets, I see no reason they can't make money off the occasional guest violating a noise ordinance.
And where is the bulk or oil terminal? It's impossible to conceal that much shipping.
This is false. I don't blame you because it is often repeated. But agriculture only accounts for about 40% of California's water use.

In an average year, about 39% of California's water consumption, or 34.1 million acre-feet, is used for agricultural purposes.

> Am I supposed to figure out how to configure gmail for SMTP,

Not to be condescending, but you can get the necessary information for doing that by using your favorite search engine.

> put the server and creds in a config file somewhere, and hope I don't bump up against any ISP firewalls or Google security tricks?

You could test that by trying to telnet to the SMTP server on the ports they claim to accept connections on. ISPs may block port 25, but they usually don't block ports for secure SMTP connections (like 465 or 587).

As for security tricks, you can always try sending an email to yourself or another email account for testing.

As a father of a 1 month old, nothing is scarier than SIDS, so the title ("SIDS solved") grabbed my attention.

The article is from 2011 though and most of the findings (particularly the sleeping on the back part) are well-known and widely taught in hospitals now. It was a great read anyhow.
How difficult would this really be to fix?

I imagine the most straightforward way to patch a hole, at least for a short period, is to use the water pressure to your advantage and inject objects to plug the hole from the dam side. Perhaps a thick metal plate lowered onto the main breach, and then malleable plastics/rubbers to slow seepage around the plate. Could probably push a hotfix out to master in a few days, for far less than 100 million dollars.

Disclaimer: I haven't found any details on the design of the emergency spillway and the suspected damage, so this is speculation.
As it is, I never go directly to Medium, I only read their articles when an aggregator like HN links to it. If Powell wrote for them, then some percentage of those random visits I'd go "huh. Colin Powell."
You think two buck chuck is made from grapes grown in ritzy Napa valley? Large majority of California wine comes from grapes grown in the central valley.

* The Central Valley is California's largest wine region stretching for 300 miles (480 km) from the Sacramento Valley south to the San Joaquin Valley. This one region produces nearly 75% of all California wine grapes and includes many of California's bulk, box and jug wine producers like Gallo, Franzia and Bronco Wine Company.*

Depends on the patch... if it's a typo fix on a readme, or updated url in a documentation file... you click the edit button on github, save, then create PR button after... easy peasy.

It really depends on what you are trying to do in terms of what the process is.. generally, if you aren't a contrib, you will fork, and work from a branch on your locally cloned fork.. you push to that branch, and then create a PR upstream. You may create a local ref to the upstream branch in order to facilitate updates to your fork, and for handling squash/rebase scenarios.

A lot of this is simply git... the "fork" on github creates a github hosted remote copy of the upstream project. The PR is a chance to review upstream patching. Yes, this can be done via email... but you can also do a lot of things in email, that email is a bad user experience for.

What's also interesting is that side-effects of the Back to Sleep campaign. I've noticed a rather large increase in corrective helmets for babies with oddly shaped heads. This seems to be a side-effect of babies sleeping on their back and modifying the shape of their heads. I've also heard that babies have been rolling and crawling later, in many cases skipping crawling and going straight to walking. They now recommend supervised "tummy time" to help build muscles and skills for crawling that used to just happen when babies were left on their stomach.

All that said, those are really minor side-effects to losing your child.

First, I wanted to say, you bring up some very good points. S3 wasn't really designed to be a searchable key/value store, as you have to pay for lookups, and pagination kills your ability to effectively search anything greater than a few thousand objects in a hierarchy, within a reasonable amount of time.

There are, however, ways to solve this: you could fire a Lambda function whenever an object is put into your S3 bucket that simply adds a single row to a DynamoDB table with the object name, along with any additional metadata you might like to capture to assure data provenance. Then, to search, you can simply query the DynamoDB table.

As always, there are many basic building blocks at AWS, but you have to connect them together (like legos) before they become useful for most applications.

The hillside underneath the overflow spillway is literally washing away. You can see downhill portions of the spillway where the waters ate away 10, 20 feet of vertical elevation. If that erosion backs all the way up to the reservoir itself, then the lining could fail (much as the main spillway did). At that point, it doesn't matter if the dam is still standing, if there is a gash right next to it lowering the effective maximum water level by several feet.

I don't know enough about the geology of the area to know how likely it is to happen. But history does show that dams can go very quickly once erosion reaches the dam/reservoir, so alarm isn't exactly unwarranted.

Yep, rolling resistance is the big factor in favour of the train.
