I'm with you, but moles in particular are pretty difficult to identify, especially on a first visit. (One of the 5 major criteria for a melanoma diagnosis is "evolving" which, by definition, requires more than one visit to identify.) Then you have complexities like basal or squamous cell carcinomas, UV induced AK, etc.

The benefit of medical-grade "AI" (in particular, multi-layered convolution neural networks) is that, given an aggregate of information (say, if you equipped every derm and oncologist with high resolution cameras and a set of parameters to standardize each datum), a trained professional[1] would be able to use that corpus as a very useful resource (used, obviously, in conjunction with their formal training and years of medical experience).

That being said - this is a question you should really be asking those who practice medicine or are actively in research for a living. Go pick up the last years issues of Nature Methods to see what problems they're encountering, and which technological gaps[2] (if any) they may have where YC AI might be applicable.

[1] Needless to say, this is something I'd be very reluctant to release into the populace's hands, lest you have someone whip together some node.js backend and React iOS app :: "Do I have Skin Cancer? $10 to find out!". One shudders to think what sort of hysteria might follow.

[2] You would be surprised at how technologically adept some of the members of those research teams are -- within a month of DeepMind making the headlines on our tech blogosphere, I was seeing RNN being applied to their industry.
I didn't follow that discussion closely, so I will avoid the argument here on that subject. Overall, NIST is a good resource for comparison. If you work with government, enterprise security, or compliance, you want to go through NIST. If you have spare time I recommend read https://beta.csrc.nist.gov/publications.

NIST is also responsible for running https://nvd.nist.gov/ which is a great asset for finding CVE.
Windows 10 makes me want to move to Linux more than ever. I'm not some FOSS crusader, but I would like an operating system that doesn't spy on me, doesn't put ads in my desktop UI, and doesn't force people into an upgrade to do so.

It doesn't matter what Microsoft says or how they paint it. It doesn't matter how "transparent" they are. As long as data-gathering (read: snooping) is a part of the operating system, there will be a conflict between that and a user's desire for privacy. The only acceptable option for privacy-conscious users is to not use Windows 10 at all, unless and until Microsoft introduces an "Off" setting.
This is pretty much exactly the sort of thing "Pro" is meant for. Of course, for some mystifying reason Windows Pro, sold on business PCs, insists on preinstalling Candy Crush Soda Saga.

I don't understand what the Pro license even is at this point, since they refuse to treat it like one.
Basically, yep. Straight up electric heaters are very popular in some places (eg: Scandinavia, New Zealand), some kind of forced air heating or ventilation either on a room by room basis or from a central heat source (essentially air con that can heat and cool) or under floor heating (either electric or water based).

New technologies such as Passivhaus, ground source and air source heat pumps are also changing the heat landscape quite a bit (if on a small scale at the moment).
Not really. Flexbox is good for laying elements out along a single axis, either horizontally or vertically. Grid is good for doing true 2-dimensional layout.

You'll probably end up using both of them - grid for larger layouts and flexbox for smaller components. They work together fairly harmoniously.

In my teens (90's) there was a holographic arcade. I don't remember the name, but if I recall correctly, it was about a time-traveler cowboy. The game mechanic was basically a duel, quick aim and shoot when each phase started. The holograms were real life actors.

It was beautiful, very fun, interesting and the game mechanics were very much connected to the hologram feature (unlike current 3D movies that, for some reason I can't understand, are a commercial success). I never understood why I never saw this or evolutions of this kind of arcade anymore. It was the future, a smart, not utopical or "only good in theory" future.

The only problem it had was that it was very expensive to play and very short/easy to die. It was basically a sequence of quick interactions intermediated by cut scenes, and it gets harder and harder. But these are problems that are not that hard to fix.

EDIT:
Found the game.

A company can't ever fire a customer. An employer fires someone they pay, by no longer paying them. A company is payed by its clients, and so it is the clients that get to fire the company when it under-performs, by no longer paying for its services. A company can quit its clients by refusing to take more money from them, but to speak of firing customers is an abusive cognitive power play.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks,
Well it's possible to inspect the system and determine if they were exceeding that, and then the backlash would be pretty heavy, perhaps even legal? Sure they could secretly leak stuff, but then we have to think a ton of engineers are in on truly spying on users, not just getting telemetry.

Doesn't stop them from sending down targeted updates to turn on deep telemetry, say, under a legal order.

This is similar to the WhatsApp situation. They claim all this crypto. If they were lying, someone could figure it out and FB would get slammed.
Sadly it was another, I've fixed that one as well now though thanks
You are wrongly assuming that their marketing team only use ads.
I'm not following here. Apple has great power management. Sure, it's closed, but you can actually rely on it today. Put linux on it and all of a suden you have power management issues.
What is your concern? Code beauty? What kind of programmer can't deal with converting between 0 and 1 based arrays?
That's a neat way to do it without opening the device but it might be easier just to crack it open, find the chip and look for communications to either the LCD or even better, an LCD driver chip. Translate using an arduino whatever communication, either SPI or straight GPIO, coming from the main chip into whatever you need. This OCR looks fast to prototype but it's added computing resources and added cost (a webcam versus a $1 chip).
Me too.

It seems surprising that an octopus leg hitting the oceans surface 15 times kills it.

I can't imagine that a dolphin can throw an octopus leg at more than 15-20 mph, and at that kind of speed I wouldn't imagine damage to a soft bodied creature.

I would imagine a better technique to be to leave the octopus legs for 10 minutes for lack of bloodflow to kill it. Wonder why they don't do that? Too hard to defend a bleeding morsel of food from other predators?
Yeah, my containers are humming along nicely, too.
Precisely. Let's paint privacy-conscious users (read: virtually all of humanity, given the choice) as the "minority." Let's make it seem like they are just an annoying vocal minority, complaining for the sake of complaining. This is just a basic marginalization tactic. Disgusting.
how does the accounting work out for the driver's health care and retirement pension?

a typical California city must contribute quite a significant sum so that the bus driver can retire at, say, 70% of their highest salary level. (e.g. over the past year, about 20% of Los Angeles's budget went to paying for the retirement of past employees.)

Wow, this means they will store in their databases your private data you had in RAM when something or Windows crashed? Am I wrong? because this sounds horrible, you should have an option on sending your memory dumps.
It's still so crazy to me that they do this in their OS. But I guess a lot of people either don't mind or just don't know.
Interesting, Ovaltine is marketed as an energy drink in the U.K.?

Growing up in the US in the 1990s it was marketed as chocolate milk with vitamins (so therefore good for your kids).
Does that mean, the library should not act when an origin is not specified and throw some kinda message in the console?

How can it be enforced? Any suggestions?

I'd guess a year or so before it's safe. A lot of smartphones (android browser, looking at you) are based on a build of chromium that's a few versions old. Edge support isn't here yet, but it's being worked on. IE11 will never support it, so if you're doing enterprise applications you might never get to use it.

You can use it with @supports and robust fallbacks now, but that does lead to writing the same layout styles twice basically. I don't know how desirable that is.
Turkish delight (not Cadbury's chocolate bar) is delicious.

The chocolate bar is just crap mass-produced Turkish delight wrapped in chocolate. I agree it's not very pleasant, but I don't know what else one could expect.
Awesome, I am thinking this could be used to create an animated hologram by quickly changing the polarization of the indcident light on the hologram.

I read this more as a Kickstarter-style setup where you are pre-ordering the product, not that you actually promise them something you can't yet immediately deliver.
'pedrosorio gave a nice one upthread[0].

Ultimately, it's hard to give a math-free explanation for something that comes out straight from math. If you break down an explanation into small enough steps, they should be comprehensible for anyone even if they have to take some steps on faith.

Yes.

Sort of... But that is how much the government theoretically pays in interest.

For this reason people don't bother in investing in companies (when I had startups, people would batantly tell us they wouldn't invest because buying government papers was more profitable).

Also getting loans to start a business is insanity, for example my bank charges 13% PER MONTH, CC can reach 450%+ per year.

I have lots of ideas, but no capital, no investors, and I am not crazy enough to get more debt here, so I end not doing any of them.
I'm not sure this is entirely fair, given the blog post clearly tries to mention the other folks who are working in this space. Specifically for the "missing communications/data layer" for VR, the only other options I personally know of are High Fidelity (decentralised, but not yet trying for an open standard or to use the open web), OpenCroquet/Cobalt (seems fairly dead since 2010), OpenSimulator (not decentralised, afaik), and there have been some talk of JanusVR + IPFS hybrids.

Empirically, there certainly is a missing layer here, and it doesn't seem unreasonable to propose Matrix as a possible solution :)

In terms of "this will happen organically, rather than as a whole new virtual universe appearing out of nowhere"... we see AR and VR as entirely the same problem from a comms/data interoperability perspective. Both of them need somewhere to store the data. The choice is simply whether you store it in a decentralised DB like Matrix, IPFS, a blockchain(!) or whatever... or if you store it in a silo like a typical VRML or WebVR app, or something like Google/Facebook.

I don't blame everyone for being cynical though - this is the holy grail after all :D
No, I'm not. I'm following the context of this conversation, in which we've moved to the general topic of whether you can "fire" a customer.

Try re-reading in that context and thinking about it again.
That would be _malpractice_.

Oh, I don't really know, but I gather they are gambling that the data & ad sales will eclipse any potential losses in marketshare. Their hubris, and duopoly position, leads me to presume they are going to profit in the short-term, at least.

I think you can partly answer the question by looking at /r/news or similar subreddits. Why are those subreddits the way they are? Why is HN what it is?

A part of the answer is that HN does not attract the Great Bellcurve of Humanity. This helps in a variety of ways. Irrelevant, noisy, obnoxious people are less likely to be on HN. Reasonable minds may differ on this point. :-)

Another more important reason -- and why I think a generalized "news" site would fail -- is because it is difficult to define what is newsworthy. Here on HN it is easier to pick out the outliers (hint: they have the word "Trump") in the title) and flag them away.

But by far the most important reason is the presence of good moderators. HN has great moderators, who ply their trade quietly, with good will.

Good moderation doesn't scale. It requires individuals. Attempts at automating its effects seem only partly effective.

It comes from how we define infinity/the number line. Any number divided by infinity is 0, that's easy. But between any two points there is an infinite number of rational numbers and between any two rational numbers you can derive an infinite number of irrational numbers. I know this isn't kosher, but it is pretty much infinity/(infinity ^ infinity). That leads us back to the probability of picking a rational number as 1/infinity, because for every rational number there are infinity irrational numbers that we also could have chosen.

David Foster Wallace had a really good book called Everything and More where he explored the history of infinity. Might be of interest to you.
Yes, but people work on what they choose to and it's not possible to say putting them all on the same team/project would move that forward - or that they would even want to do that.

Does it waste a certain amount of effort in duplicated work and products? Sure. But we also get new projects that may try new approaches, gain different experiences, and train new developers which all helps the market expand. Ultimately it's better to have yet another version than nothing at all.

Most buildings in the US use warm air. This means the same ducts can be used for both heating and cooling. There will be a central gas (or less frequently, oil) furnace or a heat pump. I think that switch occurred in the 1950s. Older homes might have steam heat, or sometimes electric baseboard heaters.
If the intuition you're referring to is the idea of finding a self-adjoint operator with eigenvalues exactly corresponding to the nontrivial zeroes, then yes. The existence of such an operator would guarantee that the zeroes are all on the critical line.

If you're referring to the heuristic arguments for why their proposed not-quite-self-adjoint operator should have only real eigenvalues, then no.
Unfortunately I think it needed a re-release to infuse some more players into the game. Game is really not well populated, especially at lower skill levels

> politicians having replaced the old one. So very clearly a political move.

The old regulator: 'The Nuclear & Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) granted a 10-year licence extension for Fukushima Daiichi 1 in February 2011, after technical review and some modifications in 2010.'

In March 2011, a month later, the reactor was destroyed incl. a fuel meltdown. It will take decades to clean up the mess. It wasn't even this reactor alone, units 2,3 and 4 were also damaged. Units 5 and 6 are given up in 2013.

Yeah, it was definitely a political move to replace the old regulator. The regulator was corrupt, incompetent, without power, ... The experts have failed. They had granted a ten year life extension to a reactor, which only days later was destroyed in a large scale accident.

It took a political move to replace them. Fully justified.

I don't think it was all in the dialogue. Not at all. That's why I was pointing to the script to show how irrelevant it actually was. While it remains the most criticized part of the movie. Besides Motoko. A character that throughout the history from manga to those several other movies and TV-Shows made several changes being somebody else every time. Just compare Motoko from the Manga to the one in the Anime. Or the one from S.A.C.

They did not want to make a full up action movie. They made another GitS visual interpretation and since every of those is strongly focused on action, this one was too. This interpretation of her was the first one that really showed a decent human part of her. Something that was actually missing for most other interpretations or was (seen from a western perspective) pretty ridiculous.
