>Concluding, the researchers say that to their knowledge, this is the first reported case of gray matter loss and white matter atrophy (types of brain damage) reversal with any therapy and that treatment with oxygen should be considered in similar cases. “Such low-risk medical treatment may have a profound effect on recovery of function in similar patients who are neurologically devastated by drowning."

I always believed that brain damage cannot be reversed. If version 1 means reversing it in toddlers, maybe version 10 will do miracles for many other people.

Submarines actually move through the water more efficiently than surface ships, according to my Naval Engineering class: they don't lose energy supporting a huge wave field on the surface due to a wake and hence experience less drag. [1]

If they are so efficient, why not use them for transporting freight? Buoyancy limitations make them impractical compared to container or tanker ships.

Not an expert here, but I think there are two recognised types of death: heart stops working (what is usually meant by death) and brain stops working (aka brain death). In this case it seems her heart stopped working so she did in fact die, by one definition. It seems she was well on her way to brain death as well.

I love Firefox Focus, but it's not suitable for your main mobile browser. What it is is a substitute for Chrome Custom Tabs.

Full Firefox on Android has a slow startup time if it's been pushed out of memory, which it usually is, because it's big. Firefox Focus is a way of quickly opening links from other apps without paying the cost of opening Firefox, while keeping an acceptable level of ad-blocking and privacy.

You should have both installed, set Focus as your default browser, but liberally use the "Open in Firefox" menu on Focus when you have real browsing to do.

It shouldn't be too much harder to add "pods" (powder containers) to that device. It might even make the process easier because the machine wouldn't have to measure the right amount.

As a Chinese, I feel offended when I saw the Chinese text sample you used to demonstrate text rendering reads "Do not eat dogs.", whereas the English counterpart is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Yes, there are sub-cultures in China that would accept dog eating, but I hate it and don't support it. And the majority of the people don't support it. There are activists in China fighting for the criminalization of dog eating.

Assuming you don't read Chinese and you copied and pasted the text from somewhere else. A suggested replacement is "一只敏捷的狐狸跳过一只懒狗。", which is the direct translation of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

However, a pangram is impossible to find in Chinese, given its alphabet size.

I don't have a background in webdesign so I cannot speak to the inefficiencies of how this is put together. I do, however, have a background in GIS/Geography and from that perspective I still maintain that this is a great way to present the timeline of events and information gathered. It's an especially great way to present the data for a layperson who

A) has a passing interest in geographic/oceanic/general data topics and

B) doesn't really care how efficient the UI is because they don't live in that world on a daily basis

That said, I also have the opinion that not all websites HAVE to be optimized for mobile viewing. There are instances, such as this one, where the data/information being communicated does not lend itself to mobile and therefore should not be compromised.

To your last point, I think I understand the direction you're coming from, but I have to disagree with the final argument you make. Just because a lot of people died in a tragic accident doesn't mean that we cannot celebrate and utilize information that is a direct result of that tragedy.

The designers of the linked site are not celebrating the deaths of these people, they're sharing and marveling in the data that was produced as an unexpected secondary and tertiary result of those deaths. One does not preclude the other and, I would argue, it would be a disservice those who died to NOT share and learn from the data produced.

It needs to be a lot longer than 5 years; The Innocence Project[1]’s fairly regular overturning of convictions that are decades old suggest such controlled destruction would inevitably destroy evidence. Additionally, unless there was some guaranteed way to permanently prevent the destruction of video marked “of interest”, the video could be destroyed simply through delaying tactics by the force under investigation.

> Why do we even allow cops on duty with the camera off? Why do we give them the choice of when it will be turned on?

As a matter of evidence, in many cases if one has a duty to preserve evidence yet fails in that duty, then a Judge may draw an negative inference against the bearer.

In many common law jurisdictions a Judge must draw such an inference, for example with the chain of custody in criminal cases.

A negative inference generally takes the form of a rebuttable presumption. For example, in the case of the chain of custody, if the police lose possession of evidence then the court is entitled (obliged in certain cases) to presume that it was tampered with.

In the case of body cameras, I would argue that a police officer has failed in an analogous duty — namely to employ a device that would create an objective contemporaneous audio/video record of events that does not hinder the ability of a police officer to perform their other duties.

Soon, I would hope and expect, the absence of body camera evidence will draw a negative inference against police.

We may not be there yet, because law is a slow moving — progressed by individual cases that can take years to work through the system of appeals that create persuasive or binding precedents, but this is almost certainly the direction I believe the law properly should take.

In my humble opinion, based on the examples I have seen, the people who benefit the most from this, by far, are good police officers that are naturally inclined to adhere to proper ethical and constructive behaviour of policing (such as those set out in the Peelian principles).

IAAL, but the above is not legal advice.

One thing the article actually forgets to mention is that 3.2.0 also is the official release for the new HTTP API for managing Foxx services: https://docs.arangodb.com/3.2/HTTP/Foxx/Management.html

We're hoping to backport most of it to 3.1 and already support it in the latest release of the JavaScript driver. This should make automated deployments considerably easier. You can literally install, configure and distribute a service with a single line of `curl` now.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the core developers working on ArangoDB Foxx.

This is the kind of thing I fear. While most of us are rightly afraid of a Soviet-style central planning, we were blind to private central planners like this controlling our economy.

We're nowhere near the level of dystopian control that Soviet central planners had, but the trend is leaning closer to that than farther away, what with companies listening to their investors before their customers.
I guess the exact costs would depend on usage patterns, frequency of file read/writes, etc.

It's worth noting though that Sia (another decentralized storage network) is estimating their current storage costs at $2/TB-Month. That's half the price of Amazon Glacier. Whether that's the result of users farming from their home PCs or giant Chinese storage farms though I have no clue.
>You’ll be able to put more cars faster and closer together when they’re autonomous.

I hate this misconception about driving. That being closer together (assuming front to back) is somehow useful. That restricts lateral movement and is one of the biggest causes of slowdowns on freeways. Say you're in the fast lane and you need to exit. If there is a column of cars next to myou, driving less than 1 car space apart, all of those cars need to slow down to adjust and let you over (or you need to slow down significantly, slowing the column of cars in your lane until you find an opening). Leaving space allows for lateral movement with no adjustment of speed.
I don't think this is true (not the accessible part of course). Renault started to sell Zoe in 2012, Tesla Roadster was selling for 4 years at that time and Tesla Inc was releasing new model.
I don't say that Tesla single handedly pushed electric cars forward, but it draw a lot of attention to it, like Toyota Prius sparked attention to hybrid cars before that. Before 2010 electric car was treated mostly as a freaky concepts and sales were almost non-existent.

Your cohort point is particularly insightful. I had just started my career in 1999 .. I had a bad feeling about the situation and went to grad school right away (after a year).

Other than the grad school crowd and people who braved unemployment, what did these professionals do? Get out of tech completely?

SS7 (the protocol whose security flaws are being downplayed here) was not designed with security in mind, and so has been the subject of infosec research for a few years now.

This is a CCC talk from 2014 (there are older ones) where Tobias Engel demonstrates among other things tracking down a test subject over two continents for about a month, via his non-tempered mobile phone, using only SS7:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wu_pO5Z7Pk

In the same talk he mentions that he is working with a German telecom operator to resolve some of these issues. So as opposed to the US, it appears SS7 has been hardened in the EU since at least 2014 for the type of attacks mentioned in the Vice article... I really wonder why the US MNO are unwilling to act on this, since it's (1) a well known vulnerability and (2) fixes (or at least mitigations) have been implemented.

"For whatever reason(s), a lot of entrepreneurs can't seem to conform to the typical 9-to-5 job."

In my experience (almost 30 yrs of working at all sorts of companies, 2 startups of my own, lots of friends and acquaintances with their own businesses) the most people I've seen who are most successful at launching and running their own firms were those who did VERY well at previous 9-to-5 jobs.

That said, I've known plenty who did well at 9-to-5 jobs who didn't do so well with their own company. So I don't think that's a predictor for success, per se.

But I do think not being able to handle a regular job is, quite possibly, a negative indicator. I mean, face reality, MOST people don't like to go to a 9-to-5 job very much. After all, if they weren't being paid, 99% would not show up.
