Something that wasn't pointed out in the article is that the vast majority of cases where a NFL player's family donates the brain to CTE study is where they already were showing some degenerative symptoms.

They can't test for CTE on living people and if someone has it but say dies from a heart attack before ever showing symptoms, they likely aren't donating to the CTE study.
No, he's considered gifted in math because he has more than a few papers already published and in review. That's noteworthy for a guy who just started his PhD
They actually ask you to remove your CPAP from the case? That's so strange. I usually keep my CPAP and iPad in the same bin. I also use my CPAP bag to hold stuff like my house keys, pens, and small bills as it gets scanned.

I have been pulled aside once just so they could swab it, but my CPAP is mostly ignored by the TSA. I'd imagine they see enough gray ResMed bags that as long as it get scanned, it's nothing special.
But Sonic fails as a speedrun game too. There's always some slow moving platform you need to time jumps around that breaks a thrilling run through a level. Not to mention that finding the chaos emeralds is almost impossible if you just plough through each level.

Do kids face the same risk factors as professional NFL players? Someone who plays in high school isn't necessarily going to play football for their entire life; do four years of football from ages 14-18 significantly increase risk?
I can’t disagree more. I find gmail to be a perfect example of why web apps are playing to the lowest common denominator and result in poor user experiences everywhere. Just my opinion though, I realise most people love it.
That paper was obsolete when it was done, even more obsolete when it was published, and totally obsolete now when even on the front page of HN, right now (presumably prompting this submission), there is an article about US researchers successfully editing human embryos with few or no off-targets.

That is what will change football. In 10 years or so, high schools will have a hard time fielding a football team. Then a few years after that colleges won't have them, and so on.

I don't think it's any easier to find companies that will under preform. Apple stock seems over priced right now with P/E:17.66 and not so great growth prospects, but so does Amazon and Facebook and the rest of the S&P 500 when you take a close look.

It already has been for 20+ years. Look at the HS football stadiums in TX, vs the amount parents will spend on travel soccer in NJ.
I think football is categorically different than other dangerous sports:

* Far, far, far more people participating at high levels (just based on team size).

* Impact is less obvious/direct, so youth and young adults have a harder time recognizing the danger: CTE tends to manifest long after players are out of the spotlight.

* The NFL has actively tried to cover up the danger of concussions; I'm not aware of any other governing body working so hard to harm those it should be protecting.

So you are saying the richest still have potential? I mean we can expect the average person around the world to be able to "yield" $500 for the richest person in this global era. That's like trillions for the worlds richest.
I'm going to repeat this again. It's got nothing to do with copyright assignment. The license that the code is under (CDDL), by default, allows Oracle to provide newer versions that anyone can update their copy of the code to.

It's effectively the same mechanism as MPL's update system, and also effectively the same as GPL's update mechanism. You can take a GPLv2-or-later codebase and redistribute it as GPLv3-or-later because the FSF has released GPLv3. Similarly, you can take a CDDL-1.0 codebase and redistribute it as CDDL-2.0 because the "or any later version" clause is implicit and opt-out.

If you agree that GPLv2-or-later code (regardless of who owns the copyright) can be redistributed or combined with GPLv3-or-later code, then you agree with the basic point of what I'm saying. Obviously the specifics are different but the basic idea is the same.

Seriously. Read section 4 of the CDDL[1]. It's only three short paragraphs.

> Furthermore ~400GB per year is not particularly insane, you can get a 6TB drive for less than $200 and that'll be enough to store more than 15 years worth of blockchain.

> As for bandwidth it amounts to less than 14kB/s on average.

Fourteen kilobytes a second is quite an understatement of the bandwidth needed to operate a bitcoin full node. Remember, nodes don't just download the chain: they also relay unconfirmed transactions and blocks to other nodes, which increases bandwidth requirements by a few orders of magnitude.

When I ran a full node a while back it was eating a couple of TB a month. Nowadays that blocks are full I suspect that it's quite a bit more than that.

This is notable, because Urschel has previously written a piece explaining why he was willing to play football given the risks (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/why-i-play-football/).
IANAL but the convention in law seems to be to come out of the gate as aggressively as possible, making an initial land grab for every kind of remote, loose, or tenuous allegation, and see what survives. I guess lawyers expect to get push back, so they overreach out of the gate to give something to quibble over and protect the real basis of their claim.
Not today; but I think it will start to happen. Maybe it will be generational too. I love football but it's getting harder to justify the damage it does to the people doing it.
I think weight limits would be a good start. Do we really need 400 pound linemen?

I also think game play would improve with lighter, faster players.

> Others want Bitcoin to become a settlement layer, and certain backers have said that $1000 tx fees would be great, since that means BTC won as a settlement layer

This is dramatically misconstruing the legitimate points made by the anti-big-blockers. The simplest fix would be to say "Others _are content with Bitcoin becoming a settlement layer_".

Making changes is always dangerous given the fact that Bitcoin is fundamentally a consensus-driven protocol. So far, none of the block size proposals has managed to garner a significant consensus. Here I mean "consensus" in a general version of Satoshi's "one CPU one vote" consensus; that's the only consensus here that is resistant to Sibyl attacks.

In addition there's the argument that increasing the block sizes necessarily entails increasing the orphaned block rate, which decreases network security. This happens because the larger the blocks are, the longer it takes for the network to recognize a legitimate block, and thus begin mining on top of it -- any mining that takes place after a block is found is wasted power and does not contribute to network security.

There's also the notion of long-time viability of the decreasing block reward without developing and addressing the problems on forming a fee market to ensure that miner compensation is commensurate with their costs so that subverting the network will always be dramatically more expensive than helping the network.

Finally there's the argument that block size increases make it more expensive to run full nodes by increasing space requirements.

These are real concerns, not just some notion of "increasing blocksize can't solve all problems why even start".

It happens that I disagree with this view; the first argument (forks are tricky) is, in my mind, the only valid one, and if Bitcoin Core threw their efforts behind finding a good, non-gameable, non-spammable block increase implementation, then we could get consensus.
Yes, this is right, but it appears that the value of the original coin and the forked coin don't correlate with one another too strongly after the fork. I mean here that it appears that the market value of BTC will not be reduced by the market value of GCC, in such a manner as you suggest. The less popular coin after the fork certainly is less valuable, but after the fork, the two values follow their own destinies, unrelated to one another.
This might be one of those (quantity === quality ) situations.

What's that parable about the pottery class? The class is split in half at the beginning of the semester. Half A has an assignment to produce as many clay pots as possible, Half B just has to produce one perfect clay pot by year-end. At the end of the year, Half B has failed to produce perfection, while Half A has produced a dozen perfect pots by accident just in the course of cranking them out.

You gotta dig through a lot of dirt to get to the gems, but at a certain scale, the gems get really good.

I am deriding the sort of discourse that topics like this usually produce, not the people making the arguments. It's certainly possible that the public debate over kids' football will largely be apolitical and civil and productive, such things do happen, but I'm predicting that it won't be.

> 51% of hashing power in order to be safely backwards compatible with non-upgraded nodes, however it's always safe with upgraded nodes

Yes, what I was pointing out is that in a soft-fork there is a risk of an eventual re-org, whereas in a hard-fork there is not. It's a minor risk, but it exists.

I also believe that any non-SegWit miners will be pushed out of the network using the mechanism I described. It would be pretty easy to trick them into mining invalid blocks.

Our main differentiators are simplicity, speed, and the fact that you only need a single tool (not counting Bitbucket here).

We've seen that many teams don't need all the features the Atlassian stack provides and happily trade it for a simpler, faster, and more unified experience.

Feel free to try it out and see if it works for you and your team :)

In theory a company's expected poor performance is already priced into the stock.
The NYTimes article said that they tested over 200 brains, half were college or high school players only. 87% came back with CTE. One would hope that it is untenable for institutions of higher learning to profit off of giving their students long term brain damage.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression you would then be required to reinstall each app every 7 days. In addition, I've read online claims that they limit you to something like 3 App IDs per week on a personal account.

That's the usual yardstick. Hence the expression, success breeds success.
Yeah the mix-up is a mess. I'm Dutch but as a programmer I've used dots for decimals my whole life. We should just get rid of the comma as decimal separator. Or do a worldwide survey for a representative sample and have a majority vote on it.

Then as for thousand separator, I always use spaces when I want to be clear (blog posts, comments), or the standard when I want to be correct (school reports, reports for our client). I've also seen apostrophe being used as unambiguous symbol but people frown at it. A little spacing is a natural way to group, especially on paper you can just write some more snugly than others and it's 100% unambiguous and perfectly legible no matter how many digits.

And while we're at it: yyyy-mm-dd, dd-mm-yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy or dd.mm.yyyy (in order of preference). Anything else is just incorrect imo. It's rare but some Dutch weirdos use our ordering neatly (ddmmyyyy) but then start using slashes, which Americans (with their incorrect though understandable mmddyyyy) typically use, and it's just impossible to disambiguate. Here too, let's have a global majority vote, at least for this calendar system -- but whatever you do, at least don't use different symbols at random.

Launch HN: Sunu (YC S17) – Sonar wristband helping blind people navigate
Hey HN! This is Marco, one of the founders of Sunu (http://www.sunu.io/). We're building a sonar smartband that improves navigation for the visually impaired.

Sunu band combines an ultrasonic transceiver, an inertial motion unit plus a haptic module powered by a bluetooth Arm processor. All this hardware together driven by years of observation and product thinking, over 20 years of experience of blind travel training from our advisor Daniel Kish (aka the real life Dare Devil) and research from the Blind Mobility Research Unit at Nottingham University In England, result in a simple device that gently informs the user of obstacles on their way: proximity, surface density, edges, openings and other information provided in real time. This enables the user to take the best navigation course with ease. It basically works like a new sense: feeling your surroundings at your wrist.

I'm an inventor since I have memory (blame Dexter's Lab), and my best friend from childhood is deaf. I thank life to put these two on my way because early on I found my passion creating games and tools with my friend, which eventually lead me to study robotics, develop 7 assistive devices until this last one hit me to pursue something more. During a year long community service at an institution of blind children I had a life-changing experience which made me realize what I really wanted to do: create technology that serves the disabled community starting with a mobility device that helps the blind move freely.

I'm happy to talk and share more. Don't forget to share, someone in your community may thank you for that!
