Wow, that video was tough to get through (excellent link!). As soon as her HR started dropping with low sats she was circling the drain on what should have been a routine, relatively straightforward surgery.

It's interesting to me that, also coming from an EMS background, my (armchair) reaction to that situation is to escalate the intervention much, much more rapidly (I would have tubed the patient as soon as her HR started dropping, and tried an OPA much sooner). I suspect that this has a lot to do with my internal mental framing of airway management: in the field, airway problems can quite quickly lead to death -- the framing emphasizes risk -- but in a hospital setting, especially a surgical one, mild-to-moderate airway problems are frequently encountered, and the framing emphasizes minimizing negative impact to the patient.
Where is the stone age tech? Automotive glass is being constantly improved. Other than being clear and made of some amount of glass, todays windshield is an iphone compared to the telegraphs of 50 years ago. Today's glass no longer shatters, no longer distorts vision, rarely chips and is often even trusted to provide structural support in a crash.
Of course. So, for those states that are better run, people will generally migrate there. Similarly, people who seek greater publicly-funded benefits will migrate to those areas that provide more.

Well I would consider myself a layperson and welcome anyone with actual experience to help educate me on the subject matter. I'm saying this because I'm just offering my own opinions.

In reference to your question I'll pose another question: "Should this be counted as being in contempt of court?"

As to the innocent people going to jail because of bad defense, I think this is why we need to fail in the direction of the innocent. I'd personally rather guilty men go free than innocent men be imprisoned. I think if we're going to figure out the limitations of the 5th Amendment in the digital age we need to decide which direction the system is going to fail. I think many on HN will agree with me, but I'd be interested to know what the country as a whole believes (if anyone has that info).

I like the NYT because they feel comfortable and trustworthy insofar as I know what to expect from them and understand the context of their work.

I hope I still like whatever they become after this pivot.

I do hope they succeed even if I don't like their new form, as I wish the best for any attempt to make journalism less dependent on advertising.
You should watch some of engineerguy's videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/engineerguyvideo/videos. He goes over some of these small details in products and why they are there. It's quite interesting!
Stories like this have been in the news for many years. Here's one from 2014:

Finally, it's not a policy; the the general differences in due process at the border, as upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court (1997, Ramsey v. United States).
Like many intermittent fasting proponents, you look at these studies that enforce days of significantly-reduced caloric intake and assume that a positive result there transfers to "skipping dinner or breakfast" just because both are referred to as "intermittent fasting". Even if 5 days of significant caloric restriction extends lifespan, that in no way indicates that 14-16 hour fasting does.

Also, I never said that intermittent fasting was ineffective in humans. I said that animal models do not always map well to humans. Scientists who use animal models understand their shortcomings. You should do some basic research before throwing up your arrogant "boom" as if you proved something.
Adding -s every time is too much work, so I added this to my git config instead:

Quite apart from the proof theoretic advantages others have mentioned, it's sort of a big leap of faith to believe LEM = (for all propositions P, P or not P).

For instance, the continuum hypothesis: unproven and still controversial. We can state it in whatever ambient logic, say ZFC, you like, but then it's independent. It therefore flies directly in the face of LEM. We have to work metamathematically to even survive such a blow (as Gödel already began the trend of, ruining Hilbert's Formalist hopes).

As it turns out, we're generally quite fine exploring the consequences of logical systems even when they're flawed. It's still interesting, pays the bills, and is generally helpful. Some things might be shown "false" by some stickler's particulars of what truth means while others need modification to satisfy everyone, but we're still doing the right things "usually".

But it's still a really good question Hilbert posed: what is the ultimate underlying language that we're using to discuss and drive the mechanism of mathematics? For that, you really have to look critically at things like LEM.
The source code of procmail is terrifying
Depends on the system, and 400k is short of where things tend to go bad on mine. At 800k files I see it taking 7 seconds.

Even at 400k files, you see longer wait times if you've aliased ls to ls --color (pretty common), or use something like ls -F. Either runs stat() on every file.

Then, somewhere in the 1m+ range, it gets unusable.
According the the article, their decline is actually for the opposite reason. Big-box mainstream grocery stores are now selling similar products, and customers are going there rather than Whole Foods or smaller organic food stores.

Amen.

A few great shames IMO have been the steady evisceration of the 10th Amendment by Supreme Court rulings and the passage of the 17th Amendment (which made Senators elected by popular vote). At least the latter was done correctly and constitutionally, but I think having one part of the legislature one step removed from the voting population is a good thing.
Young kids need ~11-12 hrs of sleep a night. They have to get up at about 7:00AM (because WE have to get up then) so bedtime is fixed at 7ish. Bedtime routine takes 30-45 minutes. We don't want to have a separate dinner for the kids. Plus we need kid-free time to keep the house in something resembling order. So of course we have early (~5:30) dinner.

How do families in 7:00-9:00 dinner start time countries handle this?
Well, you can set up whatever goofy rules you want. I'd expect !!a to be back to 5, not true.

There is an interesting movie about the guy who invented the intermittent wiper mechanics called Flash of Genius.

I was planning to watch that tonight on Netflix.

That doesn't prove that "The only thing that really matters is whether you eat less" is correct.
UK is different from the rest of the EU, where is pretty much the same as your example of the US. On the Schengen area there is no border controls as the physical borders don't exist and to travel in EU all you need is your national ID card if you don't want to bother with a passport.

I prefer the passport, I think you can't use the ID card on the automated UK border check.
I usually use iPython shell and prefix commands with '!' so it works as a shell command. It's pretty handy if you always have Python interpreter open. Not sure if this is what you want though.
No, not sure why I'm being downvoted. I was making an observation based on similar experience (with respect to sensors) that he potentially had sensitive information in emails he was forced to divulge.
This was pretty much inevitable :(

> Encryption is nothing new people, you are just putting your data in a safe.

Well, you could also be held indefinitely for refusing to provide the combination for a safe. If there were safes that could keep them out indefinitely, anyway.

I suspect that they nailed him using ICAC's Black Ice app. It's a hacked version of the Freenet client that logs peer IPs, and tracks hashes that they handle. So his mistake was assuming that deniability was adequate, and failing to hit Freenet via Tor.

Unless this wipes the device, it serves no use. They don't want your pin to browse through the phone - CBP policy is to take a full disk image, which would not work without the real pin as I understand it. This was the case in the OP article as well - CBP took a full copy of the phone.
> First, you generally have to join a mailing list, which is regularly broken, or requires someone somewhere to manually acknowledge your membership.

You can usually just send your patch to mailing list without joining at all and you will be replied off the list.

> Then, you have to figure out how they want shit formatted, figure out how to generate a diff (I've been using SVN for 8+ years, git for ~3 years, and have never had to deal with diff files!)

Unbelievable. The only explanation I can find is that you avoided dealing with diffs and used SVN only on your workplace.

> Plus, just reading mailing lists is a fucking disaster. Literally no mailing list host I know of lets you just view a complete topic thread in simple chronological order on ONE PAGE.

Mailing lists are supposed to be read in your email client. If you want an archive, use NNTP archive like gmane.
> I've tried several times to make submissions to several e-mail based projects, never with any success.

$ git send-email --to=<mailing list> <commit range to send>

That was hard.

> First, you generally have to join a mailing list, which is regularly broken, or requires someone somewhere to manually acknowledge your membership.

Most public MLs that accept patches are Cc'd for posterity's sake, and thus generally don't require being a member to post. You will always get Cc'd to discussions (git send-email automatically adds you to the Cc list).

> Then, you have to figure out how they want shit formatted, figure out how to generate a diff [...], send an e-mail, find the mailing list shat itself and troubleshoot, try again, etc....

See above. It's one command, or two (git format-patch + send-email) if you want to tweak the email.

> (I've been using SVN for 8+ years, git for ~3 years, and have never had to deal with diff files!)

I find this hard to believe. You've never hand-edited a diff file with `git add -p` or `git checkout -p` -- or even done a `git diff`, `git show` or `git log -p`? I did all of the above things just today, let alone in the past three years...

> If it's somewhere else, or requires another account, there's no way I'm going to spend the effort.

I'm going to be honest, as someone who maintains a project hosted on GitHub I don't like it when someone decides they'll "help out" by dropping three lines of code in a patch and disappearing off the face of the earth. If you're not bothered to follow up on your patch review, then you've just inflicted a net negative on the project.

> Literally no mailing list host I know of lets you just view a complete topic thread in simple chronological order on ONE PAGE.

But chronological order isn't what you want for ML threads. You want to read it as a tree, because that's how people use email... Patch review isn't like a YouTube comment thread.
Modern encryption isn't that much difference in basic concept to a cipher, such that it takes data in readable form and makes it unreadable.

In Apple/Gov dispute on the San Bernardino iPhone case, Gov brought up the Burr case from 1807, arguing that a 3rd party could be compelled to decipher the contents, provided there was no self-incrimination (Apple argued Burr did not apply): http://www.macworld.com/article/3046095/legal/burrs-cipher-s...

Does anyone know if there has been an attempt to equate decryption to deciphering in US courts?
Well, they could be un-embedded and read out the hard way.

(Might still be encrypted after that, but the data is going to be made accessible one way or another unless the device self destructs and you won't be storing the key in there but in your wetware.)
This issue has nothing to do with Trump's executive order. The Verge does a neat job of confusing the two - I believe intentionally - but the rule that devices can be searched at the border is much older.

This is not Trump, Obama or even Bush; the US Supreme Court decision is from 1997.

Then there is that questioning about social media accounts. That also isn't by Trump administration, it was Obama, last year.

Sure, call a spade a spade, but spade is not trump now. (Is this rubber bridge or what?)
Some of the benefits are from the physiological effects of going without food for an extended period of time. Some of the benefits are also from the caloric restriction that most people experience when intermittent fasting.
Could your robot go to work instead of you?
Actually, you are right. A lot of work has gone into developing hydrophobic coatings for cars (windows and bodywork) however they tend to wear off very quickly and so have never taken off.

Take a look on YouTube, some fun videos of cars going through mud and it not sticking one bit.

Out of all the people that want gun control, none advocate for an amendment to revoke the second.

Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), for one, is on record as supporting "turn in (all of) your guns", were it politically possibly.
Thanks. I did know that spec by itself is short for specifications - I'm a developer, and also have software engineering experience, so knew abut your points 1 to 3. My point was that spec work seemed like something else. Also see my other reply to a child comment to yours.
Humanity is really close to produce tech that quite literally reads minds. Since those are not easily encrypted, what prosecution awaits judges so much obsessed with illicit topics, like the one discussed in this article?
Either we'll have an orwellian "thoughtcrime" to become reality, or we change the legal system.
For the moment, it is obvious that American legal system and basic information technology are quite different worlds.

In a related vein, back when I was a product manager, I was always struck by how many customers came through who were the #1 manufacturer of toilet seats or plastic milk bottles or whatever in the United States.
I once read an interview with Norwegian/Swedish rap metal or whatever group Clawfinger; they scored a minor hit with their somewhat provocatively named 'Nigger' - the message being something along the lines of the N word being a white invention to denigrate coloured people &c, the chorus simply being "Niggerniggahniggahniggah" or something like it. (Wonder if the HN content management system lets me get away with this...)

Anyway, the singer mentioned they had once been approached by a number of obvious neo-nazis after a gig, and he pretty much thought this was it - they were in for a serious beating at best.

Much surprise arose as shoulder-slapping and bear hugs ensued. "Awww, we love that Nigger song of yours, it is amazing the way you get away with it!" (Muted thanks and head for the tour bus. Double haste.)
And what happens if he actually forgot the password? Then what?
Find the studies that show weight loss when eating in a caloric surplus while intermittent fasting.
Thanks, these are interesting reads.
That's a fair point. I guess you can reasonably describe a wall as 'planar' without requiring that it extends out to infinity too.
Some more propaganda victories by the right:

"Inheritance tax is double dipping"- if you inherit a fortune in unrealized capital gains, the government essentially forgives that tax debt. I.e. if you were to cash out at that value, you wouldn't have to pay anything.

"Americans are obscenely litigious"- This, as far as I know, started with the McDonald's case. Since then there has been a steady stream of headlines of people successfully suing businesses for things that were seemingly ridiculous. None of these cases were as ridiculous as they were made out to be.

"The income tax credit on mortgage interest makes it cheaper for americans to buy a home"- The average monthly cost for a home is whatever the market says the monthly cost for a home is. And in fact, because the tax brackets are stratified, and the mortgage interest deduction is mutually exclusive with the standard deduction, more expensive homes rose in value more, as a result of the legislation, than less expensive homes.
Pretty sure that already is a crime. But I gather there's a large quantity of the stuff that exists already. Your proposal ignores it - legalizes its distribution, in fact. Why?
So self-reporting on the internet? Yeah, I'd call that anecdotal.
Thanks for the review! Indeed it seems that this criticism is part of the history now.
Ok, we replaced the title with the subtitle (shortened to fit).
The supreme court has ruled that the second amendment protects an individual's right to own guns and that right cannot be removed by states. If you don't like that get 2/3rds of congress to agree with you and change the constitution.
Thanks. Yes, I think this is what the original comment meant that I was asking about. Now I remember where I read the term "spec work" - it was some weeks ago on avc.com, Fred Wilson's blog. And someone gave the same answer there as you, IIRC.
As said in another thread: I was making an observation that he was possibly forced to divulge sensitive information, which is messed up.
Google offers a push notification system like Apple's, with centralized servers, to efficiently deliver notifications to all users without having apps constantly running in the background killing battery life.

It is unavoidable, I assume, because otherwise you won't get notifications, which defeats the purpose of several apps, and they can't provide a fully independent alternative server because it would require integration on each app developer's backend side. "Sending minimal information", probably means they proxy the requests to avoid giving geoip info to Google about you.
Being asked to take off my shoes every time I go there is pretty annoying.
Coincidentally, I just watched a good movie called "Flash of Genius" on Netflix yesterday. It's a drama based on the true story of Robert Kearns, the inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper. Highly recommend it if you liked this article.

You don't mention where you are... where I'm at (central Phoenix), I feel that sprouts does better at most produce, and the higher end Fry's do better at most of the rest. Basha's and Costco beats most in terms of meat imho, but I'll go to the handful of local butchers sometimes, it just depends on what I'm looking for.

Welcome to the USSR as we read about in school...

:(
"The shuttle flights between SFO/SJC and LAX are completely unreliable. When I was doing the SF-LA haul regularly, I'd be delayed (delayed!) by 6+ hours at least once per month."

I'm curious how that happened to you - I used to fly SFO-LAX from time to time, and was surprised that they didn't even really worry about me missing my flight - they just told me to catch the next one in line. United runs 27 flights daily from SFO to LAX, and presumably have some extra planes they can inject into the system if needed... (SFO is a United Hub)
You can probably find a more accurate description somewhere else, but here is a TL;DR version:

In order to receive notifications without a push notification service like Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), every app would have to

a) poll for updates, meaning that the app establishes a connection repeatedly and asks a server for update. In the worst case, there is a delivery delay as big as the period between two polls. That also means that the app has to be running and thus the phone "awake" every time an app tries to get updates

or

b) keep a connection to the server open. That also requires that the app is running and sending something like keep-alive commands to avoid timeouts

In both cases it means that it doesn't scale at all. The phone would be awake a lot just to fetch updates, it would drain the battery and cause unnecessary much network traffic. Unnecessary, since there is a better solution: register with a 3rd-party service that handles the updates instead, in the case of Android mostly GCM. It basically works as follows: GCM keeps one connection to the Google servers open the whole time. Apps on the phone can register with the GCM client. Instead of sending the updates directly to the app on the phone, the app backends send the data to google instead, which then sends it with very little delay and overhead to the GCM client on the phone, which then in turn wakes up the respective app and passes the payload data.

If all these services just use GCM instead of handling notifications on their own, using WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Telegram, Signal, Skype, WeChat, Line and Viber at the same time is suddenly not such a bad idea anymore.

GCM it often unavoidable, since very little apps support alternatives to it. E.g. in China several alternatives exist, since connections to Google are blocked. I think also Amazon runs its own push notifications service.
Perfect example: they sampled jalapeño Brie with some fancy cracker and fig jam. I was shopping for a Christmas party and bought two of each. We used one for the party. It was dated with a 2/28/17 sell by date.

The little cheese wheel was wrapped in plastic. Unwrap it, as I did last week, and lo and behold, the date sticker under the plastic wrap says 12/21/16.

They play similar games with cut fruit and other stuff. I can get same or better stuff at Hannaford for 1/3 the cost.
Compulsive surgery before a conviction? Even worse.
SublimeText, AbletonLive or Photoshops are not platforms where you create an automated software artifact that runs on top of the tool. On top of a programming language, however, you depend on the tool being always available without major changes for as long as you need it to remain stable. This is not guaranteed on a privative development platform. They are simply not in the same class of products at all.

In all your three examples, the product they create is detached from the creation platform before release, and that product (text, music, images) is compiled/played/displayed on a different application; an also there are many alternative tools where the product could be processed if the original tool ceased to exist.

So there's no fear with those that, if the tool creator begins imposing more and more restrictions, you'll be locked-in. But a unique programming language for which your code can't possibly be ported to a competing platform? One would be stupid to develop for it anything requiring ongoing commercial support, beyond some cool tech demos.
