When I changed my running style, I was given all the tips here, and they're certainly right, but it's a lot to think about when you're running. It didn't click for me until I concentrated on just two things...running more upright, so that my foot strike was almost directly underneath me, and upping my cadence to force myself to take very short steps. I was given the recommendation to strive for 180 strides per minute, so when I was relearning to run, I basically counted out a waltz beat in my head, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, ... Do that roughly once per second and keep your feet moving at that pace and it becomes hard to do it wrong.

Oddly enough, I expected that running with that cadence would fatigue me much faster, but midway through my first run, I found myself being less fatigued than my previous technique.

This sounds like an interesting problem. Somehow, buy borrow or steal the top 10,000 (?) tracks on spotify so you can finger-print them.. hmm probably more like 100,000 tracks.

I'm not sure it's ethically wrong to take something in the public domain which holds no license or copyright whatsoever, and use it without attribution.

If snippets of the video were direct cuts from another show, that's a different story. But making a dish yourself and filming it is your own creation, I don't see why you have to thank anyone for it.

Yes, black beans. And no, eating them uncooked would take quite a while, and be hard on the teeth. I suspect that "raw" referred to the weight basis.

But anyway, the are great fiber. Much more comfortable than grain fiber. But one must rinse them carefully after cooking, to reduce gassiness.
How is demand infinte? Demand is a function of price. We could fly to London from NYC on supersonic jets for decades, but we decided that it's too expensive. How is transportation different from any other service industry?

Yet, here we are - wasting resources to post trivialities online. Their consumption is generating value, yet our comments are just yelling into the wind.
"There are a lot of shitty parents out there who fear prison more than they fear losing their child. There are even parents who want to kill their children. If it becomes common knowledge that you can get away with murdering your kid as long as you use this technique... I don't really want to think about that."

I believe we're going to need a citation on that. What exactly does "a lot" mean? 1% of the population of parents? 0.01%? (There are 810 such deaths in the last 20-odd years in the kidsandcars.org database[1]. (Early P.S.: Check out the "frontover" row for a trend.))

"Criminal Negligence" is something like, "The failure to use reasonable care to avoid consequences that threaten or harm the safety of the public and that are the foreseeable outcome of acting in a particular manner."[2] Where exactly is the failure to use reasonable care in these cases that doesn't apply to essentially every parent?

Show HN: View the Current NIST Random Beacon as a RoboHash
The point is that trying to claim that being held to account for posting the illegally obtained sex tape of a celebrity which has no actual news value outside of the lurid value of watching a public figure have sex is literally, and I cannot stress that enough, literally nothing like the act of posting a well researched article about the damaging actions of a public figure, engaged in something that is possibly illegal.

Trying to in someway make people feel bad for Gawker by somehow saying that their entirely self-imposed destruction is making it hard for actual news with real value to be published is super disingenuous.

If other news outlets got nervous about publishing legitimate investigations into the actions of public figures, that's on them. The protections the press receives in America are robust, and the Gawker case was so newsworthy because it was an actual instance of the press "losing" for once in one of these case, and only because their actions were incredibly egregious.

In summary, the article tries to drum up some sort of phony sympathy for the actions of Gawker by somehow linking worthwhile reporting with the muck-racking dreck that Gawker traded in and ultimately was killed by.

Ask HN: Why are AI startups the least funded of all sectors?
Reading through this blog http://blog.letsventure.com/lv-data/q1-report-fy-17-18/

I assumed they would be the hottest sectors to invest in.

From a investor perspective I guess it's because it's the least likely to return 20x the investment and we have seen this practically in our experience.

Are there any other reasons for this sector to languish?

This get's worse the more different currencies there are and the more people are farming them.

While I like the basic idea behind Bitcoin, I really don't like this development of "Let's invent a couple of dozen more of those!".
It also shows the ugly face of how what we as human societies actually value. While I haven't compared any numbers, I'm pretty sure Folding@home or Seti@home can only dream of having the kind of computing power available to them that some of these cryptocurrencies manage to mobilize.

I don't think the author of this piece wants you to feel sympathy for Gawker, but rather to recognize that the post-Gawker media landscape is different and more difficult for reporters.

And again: this story reports that we don't even know what was in DeRogatis' original piece. Buzzfeed's legal cut things out of it. When we say "a well-researched piece like this is fine post-Gawker", we should recognize that we don't know if DeRogatis' original reporting even survived the editing process.
Even for C++, most designs are OOP, which treats data layout as an afterthought.
From the article:

""This is a case of pure evil negligence of the worse kind . . . He deserves the death sentence."

""I wonder if this was his way of telling his wife that he didn't really want a kid."

""He was too busy chasing after real estate commissions. This shows how morally corrupt people in real estate-related professions are."

"These were readers' online comments to The Washington Post news article of July 10, 2008, reporting the circumstances of the death of Miles Harrison's son. These comments were typical of many others, and they are typical of what happens again and again, year after year in community after community, when these cases arise. A substantial proportion of the public reacts not merely with anger, but with frothing vitriol.

"Ed Hickling believes he knows why. Hickling is a clinical psychologist from Albany, N.Y., who has studied the effects of fatal auto accidents on the drivers who survive them. He says these people are often judged with disproportionate harshness by the public, even when it was clearly an accident, and even when it was indisputably not their fault.

"Humans, Hickling said, have a fundamental need to create and maintain a narrative for their lives in which the universe is not implacable and heartless, that terrible things do not happen at random, and that catastrophe can be avoided if you are vigilant and responsible.

"In hyperthermia cases, he believes, the parents are demonized for much the same reasons. "We are vulnerable, but we don't want to be reminded of that. We want to believe that the world is understandable and controllable and unthreatening, that if we follow the rules, we'll be okay. So, when this kind of thing happens to other people, we need to put them in a different category from us. We don't want to resemble them, and the fact that we might is too terrifying to deal with. So, they have to be monsters."

"After Lyn Balfour's acquittal, this comment appeared on the Charlottesville News Web site:

""If she had too many things on her mind then she should have kept her legs closed and not had any kids. They should lock her in a car during a hot day and see what happens."

Terrible things do in fact happen at random, the universe is implacable and heartless, and it's not entirely possible to be sufficiently vigilant and responsible to avoid all catastrophes.
Wow, that's a decision I deeply respect.
> Does it really create more overall?

Yes, much more, in my case. My transition from a standard American diet took a couple years, but is one of the biggest improvements I've made.

I get most of my fruits and vegetables through a CSA or the farmers market, which use much less packaging than any store or restaurant I've seen. The farms are within a couple hours' drive.

I get most of the rest -- mostly dry legumes, nuts, and spices -- from a bulk food store a couple blocks away, filling containers I bring with me. I also avoid packaged food, as I document in this blog post: http://joshuaspodek.com/avoiding-food-packaging, which has improved the deliciousness, freshness, savings, convenience, and healthiness of my diet.

I compost and recycle so my landfill garbage gets emptied about twice a year, as shown in this video: http://joshuaspodek.com/leadership-environment-podcast-5.

One takeout meal produces months worth of garbage so in my case the difference is orders of magnitude.

And my homemade food is more delicious, convenient, cheaper, healthier, etc.
I'm really curious how this affects HN users in Russia now. Is this a concern for you all? Or is it just a blip? Do you think it affects your less technical friends and family in any way?
You can do it on a poorer graphics card, but that's only if it has enough GPU RAM, and only if its supports a relatively recent compute version.

You _can_ run it on a CPU, and that can work fine for very simple models (like the Tensorflow demos with MNIST) but anything much larger and things really start to take forever. Like, you'll be waiting for months.

That's not shady in the least. That's journalism. They got the early scoop because someone left it in a bar. The fact that Apple's hype machine wants it to be a surprise isn't a consumer tech blog's problem.

Controversial New Theory Suggests Life Wasn't a Fluke of Biology–It Was Physics
How is it more difficult for reporters? If you are not posting actual libelous material obtained illegally, which has no value to the public, you are in the clear. If you are doing those things, then yeah I guess the Gawker case should make you think twice. Like is this a bad outcome? What do I need to recognize here? That finally yellow journalism online is held to the same standard as in print? Oh no, the horror!
To do this we need to start modeling our applications using state based design. Redux is a good push from engineering in this direction. Elm is also great for this idea as well. The most important part of your boring business application is the applications state and the users state. Take the time to model it and how to move it forward in time with actions.
Reading this article was heartbreaking. Becoming a parent changes you, or at least it changed me. I can no longer imagine harm to a child---as conjured in a written article, on a television show, or in a discussion---in an abstract way as I once could. It is now intensely emotional, as if it were happening to my own child in front of my eyes.

This being HackerNews, I'm sure we're all thinking about fancy technological solutions to this problem. But there's a low-tech solution. I'm going to go out into my car right now and train myself to always visually scan the back seats before I leave the vehicle. If you do something enough, it becomes ingrained. I don't think about putting on my seat belt anymore; it just magically happens.

The memory expert interviewed in the article explains that this problem happens when the "low level" basal ganglia has the brain on autopilot, compensating for higher-level functionality that's compromised by stress, emotion, and distraction.

So teach the basal ganglia how to look in the back seat before stepping out of the car. Every time.
I didn't forget, I never knew that. It's pretty interesting!

I wouldn't call the whole of China a niche. International transfers from there aren't expensive but they're mostly impossible by official means. Banks don't allow citizens to send money overseas except for a few specific and verified reasons, which importantly don't include gifts to family members or buying things (eg real estate).
That was not vandalism and had nothing to do with defcon. See the story you linked to.
In Mexico, for example, most middle-class people hire maids, nannies, etc. Even the poor hire poorer people to work for them. To some extent, I think, that reflects less segregation of rich and poor. But also, I think that there's something odd about American culture. People will pay to have their vehicle repaired, but not to have their home cleaned.
Why not both?

We absolutely need policy change, but we also need to use and encourage tech that makes it impossible for bad policies to take these to gain a foothold.

Treadmills don't prepare you for uneven surfaces so they are somewhat harmful in excess. Hard flat level ground is not uncommon in nature, but the ideal stride is reactive not simply repeated endlessly.

The best example I can give is a long stairwell with one step 1/2 an inch off is liable to trip people up. Yet running up uneven surfaces is easy when your paying attention.
The trick is that you need multiple histories to make that work, or git-style history management.

If you broke your editor's buttons / view settings, but also typed a dozen pages, you don't want to undo your typing to undo your settings changes.
I'm sorry to hear that. I guess we can't trust our employers as much as some of us would naturally like to, hoping that it was a good relationship.
When you use Generators for this style of concurrency, generators are comparable to async/await. The difference is that with async/await support, you still have the option for your promises to resolve generators.

Basically by using generators for co-routines, you preclude yourself from some use-cases that generators normally provide.

> Generators are not as useful and are more niche. Am I wrong?

I would say that generators are more general, and async/await actually more specific to a single use-case.

as much as I love Elixir (and Erlang/BEAM) I get uncomfortable when people say "I heard it was a magic bullet for scalability and concurrency[...]. the language provides primitives that can, in certain circumstances, make it easier to scale horizontally, but there's no magic. and there are certainly tradeoffs (esp with regards to managing state) that can actually make your code harder to scale.

dig the post, just an observation. for anyone new to the language reading this please understand that Elixir isn't a super fast/concurrent Ruby replacement. but it is a hell of a lot of fun to program in.

>Do you even know how to produce food on your land?

This isn't as hard as it sounds. The nature is overflowing with edibles of all sorts and we simply have to cultivate it for a little bit.

Two years ago, my father planted two chokeberry (Aronia prunifolia) shrubs in our backyard. Now those tiny shrubs have grown to 20 times their original size and yielded about 10 pounds of berries.

Two years before that, we planted 8 tiny grapevines and tied them with pieces of string to a nearby metal scaffolding. Today, those vines have wrapped themselves around the front part of the house and provide us with more grapes than the entire family can eat.

Both aronia shrubs and grapevines grow unstoppably, without any human intervention. Now, having them fit for commercial consumption is another thing entirely, and we'd probably have to invest much more money in ensuring larger yields and so on. Right now, I only spray grapes with some copper sulphate though I see it's been infected with grape phylloxera, for which there is no control or cure.
With eHow we solely relied in flaws in the google ranking algorithm and crawler. Buzzfeed relies on social shares so it's not really something hint an algorithm can fix (easily). It'd also bring a lot of complaints from users if anyone tried to anyways.

He's also concerned that the US government and their assets will use this to undermine the country that he is charged with defending. Which isn't really irrational, because many anonymity tools have been funded by the US government for exactly this reason.

It's not a reasonable tradeoff and I disagree with him, but one can easily see why someone in his position would be concerned about this for reasons other than attempting to secure a dictatorship.

The fact is the US government has a well documented history of undermining elections, and then funding rebellion and civil wars if the election doesn't turn out how they hoped. When leaders attempt to shut down mediums used for propaganda/psyops/adversary coordination, they get to play the fascist dictator card against them, which is pretty convenient.
