Or perhaps you are no longer in an environment where you see them. Children with disabilities still exist but do you frequent places where children in general go? I see them often at theme/play parks, swimming pools and at my childrens school. I don't see disabled children at the club's, bars I frequent or in my workplace but I don't see non disabled children either.

Further we are better at catering for people with these disabilities and their families. Some of the soft play areas I took my children to when they were very young were often designed with autistic and disabled children primarily in mind and we saw many families who would use the facilities with both disabled and non disabled children, the only real difference was the age of the children, disabled children tended to use the facilities for longer than non disabled children e.g. by 4 or 5 years old my children were less interested in sensory rooms whereas disabled (especially the most severely disabled) children would use these rooms at 10 or 11 years of age (possibly longer).

The test mentioned in the article is also available in the UK and the option to terminate a pregnancy when is child has a significant health issue or disability is also there.

What to Do When Your Child Uses Bad Words
So why did he patent it instead of releasing the relatively trivial invention into public domain?
Both Android and iOS have "Do Not Disturb" features which almost accomplish this. On my Android phone, the "Priority only" setting will silence any calls from outside your contacts list. It would be ideal to be able to send directly to VM, but this option definitely minimizes the distraction. I have it enabled 24/7, except when I know I'm expecting a call from an unknown number.
If you have children and expect they will as well , you can assume at least a financial legacy 60+ years beyond your death and plan accordingly. Wealthy families assume immortality in that manner, e.g. Vanderbilts, Mellons, etc.

That poem is indeed literally about the Nazis, but it's a warning about any extremist group that gains power by attacking other extremists, wherever they fall on the political spectrum.

The first line, "First they came for the Socialists", is about communists, another despised group who certain politicians in America have targeted to their profit and our lasting shame.

The remaining lines are about other groups the Nazis attacked by associating them with communists, in the same way Hollywood was once associated with communists in America.

In our hatred for Nazis, let's not forget our basic values the way we once did when McCarthy waved communists in front of us like a matador.
I will say that, despite its many shortcomings and after I was able to overcome the netbook-induced Atom stigmas, I really do like the Atom for small-business NAS applications.
I'm not even sure it matters that you are libertarian. It is just common sense to me that you would test for something like this because even if you weren't thinking of abortion of a child has a disability the they will require different type of care from the minute they are born, and in some cases even earlier.
Those are all solid points, so I retract - but the momentum paradox bit stands!

I wish I had someone else to chat physics with - isolation leads to screwy notions which can easily be quashed by the right counterpoints.

Edit: a thought. Please (genuinely!) tell me where I'm wrong. As it's elastic, could we not end up with groups of lower energy photons with the same vector as an original high energy photon, which would similarly explain redshift? Doesn't address your point re: fog, however, unless they're universally tightly grouped.
> if so, are they so dense in not understanding how normal people running red lights is less of an issue here than a machine running that red light?

I disagree. A machine might be able to completely verify that it's safe to ignore the light. I wouldn't trust a person to do that.

Game of Thrones episode 6 leaked
IIRC yes but, since it leaked memory like a sieve, I did everything via system("gm ...")

Graphistry is impressive, but not free, and needs their server and an API key. You probably already know about graphviz sfdp (not interactive). There's been interesting recent work on distributed maxent optimization https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.04383.pdf and sparse stress models https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08909 (see its references as well, for example, Khoury's MARS is still available at https://github.com/marckhoury/mars). This problem requires a ton of algorithm engineering, a lot of messy user interface engineering, and integration into an HPC environment is a big issue, so progress in open source has not been that rapid.
Quoting from the memo itself, "Women, on average, have more: [...] Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance)".

I don't believe there is any other context to it. It is not at all clear to me that the author is not referring to neuroticism in the colloquial or clinical sense. If he did want to use such a potentially emotionally-loaded term in that sense he should have made it clear how he was using it.
Currently, very little. According to the article, you need crazy particle-accelerator-levels of energy to have them happen at all.

However, by studying and understanding such events, we can test and improve our theories of physics, which may lead to breakthroughs in technology we can only dream of.

For example, general relativity would have been considered completely useless knowledge for any practical purpose when it was first formulated in the early 20th century. It only has any measurable impact at extreme velocities and gravities. In the late 20th century, it proved instrumental to creating accurate enough models for measuring the time delay of signals from satellites, creating what we now know as the GPS system.
Maybe a year give or take, and I ended up building it to scratch my own itch of wanting to find a nice movie to watch over the weekend.
Passive event listeners
They are also prevented from inventing their own similar solutions due to prior art and broad patent.

The solution in SawStop qualifies as super obvious to a person not even well versed in art. As such it should not be patentable. However making a patent invalid in the US is extremely hard.
Exactly. So why do we assume that it's culture that's at fault in tech?

As a beginner who'd struggled with learning Rust over the last few months, here's my advice:

Ownership and Borrowing is front and centre in the intro texts to Rust and it's no coincidence. Understanding the concept(s), their relation to memory, references, memory management and lifetimes, is central to understanding Rust.

The String type, str (string slices), and slices in general, also gave my head a spin a few times, but getting over that hurdle made things a lot more clear as well.

Not that I have enough experience to tell the difference between languages, I still think Rust is a very intelligently designed language. I'm glad I learned (am learning) it and I hope it gets adopted by more developers.
Thanks! Nowadays I am leaning on my own https://superdom.site/ for simpler/over the weekend projects. I almost made it into a next iteration of Umbrella JS but thought it'd be too big of a change and decided to separate it.

I prefer superdom syntax and I consider it the last and best iteration I could make following jQuery's philosophy (there are a bunch of dead jsfiddles from Umbrella to Superdom). It feels a bit hacky but it's quite legible and intuitive. It is not so compatible (no IE/old Android) and the main thing missing from Umbrella is the whole AJAX side, but for that I mostly use the new standard fetch().

I keep telling myself I gotta make superdom's website worth of the code, but I never get around to do it :)
>The Nazis you dislike would agree with you

The fact that other people would also like to censor some speech in other circumstances is irrelevant to me.

>open borders communists who, to their minds, promulgate the genocide of the white race.

What's in their mind is irrelevant. I'm clearly not advocating genocide, it's not my business if they see it that way, they ought to educate themselves. There's a clear difference between advocating that the workers of the world unite and advocating killing Jews. As it also turns out, the Nazis would kill Jews whether or not the workers agreed with it, you can't say the same about any of my actions.

>The world has a long history of those who push for the restriction of speech ending up on the receiving end of restriction of speech.

I agree, so it must be done carefully; there's no causation, merely there might be correletaion between these two groups.

It's because in the US justice system you are considered innocent until proven guilty. "Proof" requires an adversarial test to ensure you're not only getting one side of the story.

Without defense attorneys, nobody could be "proven" guilty because a show trial proves nothing.

If you want someone to be eligible for punishment, you should thus WANT them to be defended.

I won't speak for all young Earth creationists, but I don't have a problem with natural selection as a means of selecting from existing genetic diversity within a kind, especially as that process is observable and repeatable around us.

Where I contend with evolutionists is the typical narrative that the existence of natural selection implies a process that creates said (structured, positive) genetic diversity from which to select. This latter process is disputed, not the former.

I would be curious to hear your colleagues perspective.

Broadcasting transactions is easy and trustless: you can give it to anyone who has an internet connection (over radio, SMS, in-person, physical mail, pigeons...) and the worse they can do is not broadcast the transaction. If you send the transaction to multiple parties, you can reduce this risk without introducing any additional risk. It's also something that you don't do very often.

Figuring out Bitcoin's best chain (PoW-wise longest) and remaining in consensus with the rest of the network is the hard part: it requires on-going communications on a reliable uncapped/high-capped internet connection, introduces trust, and adds the risk of fraud (someone feeding you with an alternative best chain that's not recognized by the rest of the network as such could execute double-spend attacks against you [0]).

[0] Blockstream satellite is no different in this regard: Blockstream could feed incorrect data into their satellites. But as a farmer in India, I would feel more comfortable trusting a satellite signal from an internationally known company that many other people are also getting (and audit, and hopefully sound an alarm if something goes wrong) then trusting, say, some internet-connected device two villages away.
Any ICO
Good. So why not override it by disabling it completely?
I also thought the same thing, along the lines of drawing Simpsons characters in CSS.
A point I made myself, and I didn't say otherwise. I also clearly mentioned that was the formal definition, not a working definition.

In mathematics and computer science that is indeed the proper definition.

And HackerNews is definitely a mathsy/computersciencey sort of a place, so it might be nice to use the word correctly here.

Out of interest (or is it flippancy?), where do you use the word algorithm, when not talking about mathematics or computing?

Do you consider a discussion about heuristics vs algorithms (which is what this thread is above), on a site like Hacker News, to be 'general language'...? Or would you consider that this might indeed be a suitable context to comment on their proper formal definitions?
I'm not involved in any epidemiological studies, simply a medical student :).

But that being said, I think a lot of the stigma comes from researchers using biased data, or acting unethically with their data. Good epidemiological studies exist that have improved the health of the general public.

As a guide for new readers of public health research, here are my suggestions:

1. Read the abstract. Think about the claims that are being made. For example, if someone tells me that drinking 2 cups of coffee a day leads to a lower risk of cancer, my first thought is: what kinds of things do people drinking 2 cups of coffee a day do that would lower their risk of cancer? Could they have a different diet? Do they make more money, leading to them being able to afford preventative health? Do coffee drinkers just have more awareness about their health? Do their regular schedules and sleep cycles give them a health advantage? Keep these questions in mind when reading the rest of the paper. See if the researchers tried to control for these easy alternative explanations.

2. Get a fundamental understanding of some of the statistical terms and calculations used, and make sure you are not misinterpreting them. Thinks like odds ratio, attributable risk, relative risk, etc. Each of them means something specific, and should not be used for extrapolation. Google is your friend!

3. Read the paper as completely as you can!

4. Especially look at the discussion section for maybe reasons that their data isn't great, or also discussing alternative explanations. Also look at their appendix for their exclusion criteria. This can be a clue towards whether or not a researcher is being genuine about their dataset or data collection. In the ACP article about coffee drinkers, there were quite a few exclusions made, and the population they pulled data from seemed biased (women who went to mammogram screenings might care a bit more about their health than the average person)

That's all I have for now. I'd welcome any actual researcher to provide feedback and suggestions!

It is amusing to read the writing styles of then with the now. The use of language in the Victorian era was a lot more poetic. While in many ways I do welcome the directness that modern articles have, I do also feel we've lost something in artistic merit.
High energies are not absolutely necessary. Couples of "virtual" particles can be created at any energy, it's just less likely for smaller energies.
I think the real problem was the experimental set-up: particle accelerators use electric field to transfer energy to particles and magnetic field to control their trajectory and eventually to cause collisions, but all of this only works with charged particles. And photons carry no charge, as you said!
As the article mentions, the observation was finally made possible by accelerating bunches of lead ions, as they carry around a cloud of high energy photons (I suppose due to bremsstrahlung caused by chaotic movements within the bunches).
How would I even find the right entity to sue. All I have is a spoofed number.

TechEmpower Benchmarks are mostly not really showcasing real world.
Just looking at their PostgreSQL config will highlight that. (Especially: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/mast...)
And also most of the time their libraries/frameworks are outdated or not even configured correctly.
It shouldn't be taken as a reference in any way without additional benchmarking.

That's certainly an interesting thought. For now, I'm in maintenance mode, so my most important tools are the ones that I can throw in a bucket and carry to the point of use. And, stuff that's not related to woodworking at all: Repairing appliances and messing around with old bikes.
You have not addressed the point though. If you're saying the flags and chants of "blood and soil" mean something else, you should just say that and substantiate the claim.
It's because everybody knows that this has nothing to do with free speech.

People like to be pretend to be concerned about free speech up until a very specific point. Everybody draws the line somewhere different. (And the Constitution draws the line at a very clear and special place.)

Let's say two people are in a chat room, Alice and Bob. Bob has decided that Western civilization is collapsing and so to do his part to defend it he spends several hours a day constantly spouting hatred against women and minorities. Alice doesn't agree and, quickly realizing that Bob can't be reasoned with, she leaves the chatroom.

Hasn't Alice's "free speech" been violated?

And isn't this exactly the plan of the alt-right? To create an environment of such extreme fear and hate that eventually everybody shuts up but them? It sure worked for their heroes the Nazis. And for some reason I don't think all these rallies are just a way to get more Vitamin D.

And see, this is exactly the point where all of Bob's (male) defenders will rush in and declare that Alice doesn't have the right to feel safe, that she needs to toughen up and that, at the end of the day, fuck her feelings because Bob's free speech is sacred even if that means her speech goes away.

This is what the brave defenders of free speech really want to accomplish: an environment where they can say the most vile things possible without consequence such that everybody else shuts up.

And here's the thing for somebody claiming to have read history: the founders of the American republic knew this very well. This is why they weren't concerned about "free speech" as the bad faith position described above, they were actually much more concerned with freedom of the press and this is what all of them spent their time writing letters about.

Anyways I could go on but let's be clear: we all know what the heroic defenders of free speech are really trying to accomplish. The "free speech" is just another bad faith distraction. Once that doesn't work they'll go back to blaming everything on the Jews.

Show HN: Dynamic image size generator
Hi,

Firstly, the link to the tool - https://github.com/DrRoach/DynamicImage

I created a dynamic image sizing tool that allows images of any size to be generated on the fly. It's aims are as follows:

a) Allow users of sites to upload images of any size without the site owner having to worry about their dimensions or having to resize them.

b) Reduce load times for sites as images can be stored on their own dedicated server and be served in milliseconds.

I'd love to hear some feedback as to what you think and whether you'd consider using this tool and if not, why not?

All constructive criticism is welcome!
>Communists killed many millions more than national socialists and is also a genocidal ideology

Sorry, but you're wrong. The Nazi ideology hinges on the idea of forceful removal and killing "inferior" people. The Communist ideology does not; I'm not responsible for the actions of what other people do in the name of Communist ideology. I subscribe to the works of Marx, Engels and the social anarchists (Bakunin, Kropotkin, Proudhon); if you can find any intention of genocide in there, I'll agree with you.

>Shouldn't your speech also be shut down according to your own logic?

No, because I'm not advocating harm or killing, only the potentially forceful removal of private property from landowners and capitalists.

>You seem to believe a central authority must dictate which speech is free and which is not.

No, the community should be able to regulate itself if sufficiently advanced. There may be a transitionary period in which an authority which suppresses certain speech or actions may exist, though I don't support its permanent existence.
Oh and why not just instead use a clutch to disconnect the drive instead? There is one already I bet. Without motive force the blade stops in your hand without explosions. It has low mass so low momentum. (This won't work for massive blades but neither will exploding them. You will need an active brake.)

However the patent is on the dumb detector and is overly wide.
