I was looking at that oximeter you mention, but according to reviews, they updated the firmware, which made it much more difficult to get the data out of the thing. I actually spent a fair amount of time looking for a pulse oximeter I could get data out of when I was getting diagnosed; I never found anything that looked like it would work without significant reverse engineering.

I haven't even setup sleepyhead, so I haven't really been looking at the data. I should do that.

Shocking my throat sounds... like a hilarious way to improve sleep? I have a few friends who got various kinds of surgery; they all speak really highly of it, but my doctor said that it's super common for the problem to reoccur after a few years. seems like maybe electrically stimulating my throat might be more resistant to "growing back".
A friend reported going to the wedding of German first cousins who married. The groom opened his speech with, "just in case you're still wondering, yes it's legal".

No, they were not the British royal family.

And apparently it was quite an uncomfortable moment.

I relate the story as something which would have been quite normal once, whilst legal now, is fairly taboo. I'm not sure why, although obviously feel and appreciate the taboo.
Let me just add this for the records because you added to your initial comment while I replied, I am from East Germany and am surly happy that the Soviet Union fell apart. But I am also quite skeptical and a black and white picture of the good NATO and bad Russia seems rather unlikely. During the German reunification talks it was supposedly at least suggested that the NATO would not expand eastwards and the US has a long history of messing with unwelcome governments.

I really do not want to justify Russian actions in the Ukraine in any way, but I do not feel confident to say that it was pure aggression from Russia. Also whether one should deny a NATO memberships to countries that might have legitimate interests in just because the Soviet Union was against it at the end of the Cold War and especially if it was never even part of any formal agreement is by no means a clear cut issue that I want to argue for or against here.

I really just want to avoid judgments here because I certainly do not understand all the forces and motivations at work.
The state-of-the-art is the STAR Voting system, which will probably not be manufactured due to lack of interest from industry partners:

https://www.usenix.org/conference/evtwote13/workshop-program...

Optical scanners have a very good cost-benefit in terms of accuracy, complexity, transparency and usability.

If you refer to paperless electronic voting, it will be always vulnerable to malicious insiders. In order to possibly prevent that, you would have to lock it down in such a way that no one would be able to audit the result after the fact, undermining the sole purpose of a public election.
That's the way a popular site with 30 slots on its front page has to work. For any hot story, there are a zillion me-too follow-up articles like the arstechnica one above. Since the story is hot, they'll all get upvoted. If we don't mark them as dupes, they take over. I guarantee you the community doesn't want that. In fact, almost everything we do is determined by the community pressure that happens if we don't do it.

This does mean that a hot story will get a big discussion yet many readers never see the thread. But that's true of every thread; it follows from the structure of the site. The way around this is to use HN search to find the discussion, or links like https://news.ycombinator.com/active and https://news.ycombinator.com/lists. Edit: or just look at the second page!

> if you run a mirror which is accessible from Germany

Access from Germany isn't the issue, having a German IP is the issue. They don't go after foreign seeders because that would be too much hassle getting the real data behind the IP (just like German law doesn't apply to them), but they hunt down seeders with German IP's with quite a vengeance.
If Node was in its infancy when the io.js fork happened, then Elm is downright fetal. I don't think you can compare them.

It seems to me that the extreme BDFL governance of Elm is also its strong point at the expense of being then limited to that bandwidth, it's weak point.

Unfortunately, delegating work does not come for free and a great deal of energy will be burned in people management. Unless you're clairvoyant, it can't be said whether that would be any better for Elm or mire it in an even thicker mud.

Elm has a lot of unknowns that someone has to sit down and make decisions about because it wants to generalize over environments beyond browser-side Javascript. I think that sits at the root of why you can't just delegate out core contributor access.

But trying to do that generalization in the first place is also why Elm has some really interesting potential in the long run than just another SPA abstraction.
In Sweden you have to follow swedish law if you target your business towards swedes. If you use swedish language, sell directly to swedes and so on. I'm sure Germany has something similar.
Yup. Even volunteering in the kids classroom (elementary) was an eye opening experience. It would be nuts to be under that much suspicion day in and out.

Hi Sam, good to run into you here! :D
Rick's not bad, nor is he an asshole (or at least not permanently an asshole). This is what mental illness looks like. I can't say who's to blame for this - the absurd working hours were clearly done willingly - but regardless management could probably have done more to fix the situation. To my mind, Rick needed a forced vacation, a psychologist, and a non-computer related hobby.

OK, try a company other than Facebook. What about a company with many competitors buying ads against their name? Or a small company fighting ads from counterfeiters?

I'm not suggesting a solution to this. The core issue is that most ads are bad for users, and an ad business can never be truly harmless to its "product" -- the users.
Is there a reason browsers don't have decent line breaking algorithms yet that make paragraph text look better than the current "left" and "justified" CSS alignments? I miss the way LaTeX lays out text.

Also, maybe I missed it but are these algorithms trying to find the best line breaking solution? How much more efficient can you make this if you look for "good enough"?
I agree, at least in Italy, for people who die at home, the customs are basically the same.
Quoting Matt Tait (former GCHQ) here: "Also worth remembering that "agent" here means "recruited source" and not "employee"" (https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/96997040775861862...), and further "This is kind of necessary, since being a member of a proscribed international terror organization is a crime, and were it not so, Mi5 would be unable to recruit sources inside them" and "And also worth noting it is guidelines on the use of sources who participate in criminality. It is not about the government directing sources to participate in criminality." The second-to-last paragraph of the article only makes sense using this reading: "The MI5 website says agents are “one of the most significant information gathering assets we have”, adding “intelligence from our agents is critical to keeping the UK safe”."

It seems the entire discussion here is based on a misunderstanding, the vast difference between what MI5 calls an "agent" and what the public understands when we hear "an MI5 agent", and thus misses the point by about a mile?

There's an interesting debate to be had about the questions posed by the article, it's just not what's being discussed here right now. For example, in Germany, an attempt to have the far-right ultra-nationalist NPD banned for being anti-constitutional in 2003 was rejected by the Federal Constitutional Court because a large number of agents (called V-Männer in German) were active in the party leadership. This raised the question of whether some of the evidence against the party might actually be influenced by agents of German secret services. Since the secret services did not want to fully disclose their agents' identities and activities, the court found the case to be impossible to decide.
Garbage collection vs stack allocation
The Wisdom of Polarized Crowds (2017)
This is an extremely short (and misleading) summary of the courts argument. Among the reasons for assuming jurisdiction is the assumption that project Gutenberg targets users in Germany and part of that assumption is Project Gutenberg’s statement that the goal is to make the works available globally (thus including germany) (quote: “anyone anywhere”). The fact that content and at least parts of the page is available in Germany adds to that assumption. It’s been established that websites targeting german people (also) fall under german jurisdiction.

So no, not an extraordinary or new theory of international law.

Have you seen Evan? He's like 12. (Sarcasm because I'm 45 and now everyone around his age looks like 12.)
This is kinda the same tactic that was used by YouTube to block videos in Germany, blocking them with a message about to the GEMA issue.

It might be slightly dishonest, but it's at least pointing the user in the direction of the actual culprit. Imho this is a valid approach because it creates awareness for a problem that the vast majority of people are never really aware of.
The whole paragraph reads:

> The decision to acceed to the German Court's order to make items inaccessible from Germany is intended to be a temporary appeasement, while the appeal occurs - this is because the German appeal Court will likely look disfavorably on PGLAF if it shows contempt for the German Court. Ultimately, PGLAF seeks to establish that any complaints about copyright must be brought either to the US Courts (where PGLAF operates) or WIPO processes (as guided by international treaties).

And continues:

> Q: Is there anything that can be done about the situation?

> A: Project Gutenberg is fighting for an appeal. Ideas about how to appeal the case in German, and any possible legal actions in the US, are welcome. You can reach Dr. Newby by email, gbnewby AT pglaf.org.

It says they have no idea how to appeal the case in Germany and the paragraph above basically says they have no real intention anyway because they want to bring the case either to an US Court or to the WIPO.

I am highly sympathetic with the PGLAF but their argumentation is completely incongruent.
Either they accept the jurisdiction of the German court, then they should appeal in Germany and the appeasement makes sense, or they don't, then they should just ignore it completely.
Isn’t publishing content over web to the public “activity in this country”? I think it is. The magical Internet allows actions in other countries without physical presence.
Regex is the similarly terse, and many popular languages make use of it. Do you replace regex syntax with much more verbose function calls? Also, several posts above mention how the interpreter fits inside the CPU L1 cache for maximum performance. I'm guessing the terse syntax helps keep it small enough.
Ok, this is similar to Gridcoin (https://gridcoin.io/) , Golem (https://cryptoslate.com/coins/golem/) , SPARC (https://sparc.network/) , et al. I could keep going, but the point is, something like this exists. And we are seeing the issues of what happens when you embed a program that takes advantage of processing power. You get things like Coinhive (https://coinhive.com/), which were meant to be benign, turned into botnets.
In the article, the author discusses a number of other cancers (breast, brain...) that nitrosamines cause. Colon and rectal cancers are the most prevalent, but not at all the only ones. And... quality prosciutto and other pork belly products can be obtained from most local butchers without nitrites or nitrates, so you can avoid these things and still live very happily indeed with salty pork.

Also, the results of nitrosamines happen faster than I believe you expect from what you posted. Colon and rectal cancers have been on the rise for decades.

So, I see your point, but it's an uglier problem than I think you realize and there are some easy solutions available.
That seems unlikely. The energy cost of flying is always going to be higher. You do, after all, need to move upward.

> total blockage “revenge” is just plain childish.

It seems like it is working to get them publicity. If germany doesn't like that they are now being blocked, then they should change their laws.

It is their website, so too bad for germany.

Protesting ridiculous copywrite laws is perfectly reasonable.
I used to joke around that we passed the Minority Report point, which was the latest movie where computer UI felt something unatainable (and new gesture, recognition etc is mainstream). This would be the 5th element point.
"Vastly increased" is subjective at best and sounds like a bad excuse. I was "Paleo" for years and decided to try mostly plant based recently. As background I smoked my own bacon and had 1-2 eggs that accompanied it every morning for years.

I haven't eaten meat since Jan 1 of this year as an experiment in blood panel results, body fat, and general "feel" of abandoning meats. I was already mostly dairy free (don't consume animal milks with the exception of purchased baked goods or cheeses - a few times a week at worst) for over 7 years.

If you haven't tried a shift toward a plant based diet, I would argue you have no clue. Because I didn't. Giving meat up is actually easier than things like cheese as an example.

I lost 10lbs of body fat in a month (5'11 @ 175 --> 165) and increased strength in January. I also improved all blood panel markers by a minimum of 15% (WellnessFX). But the best part is the subjective part: overall feel. I feel much better, more consistently and more often on mostly plant based. Things within my pallette have changed quickly.

Dr. Greger's "How Not to Die" has helped in some of the education and all the references to studies relating. Cooking, however is a fundamental shift from Paleo so that is one of the hardest parts you have to focus on right away. I had so many recipes I loved and became frustrated early finding alternatives. However after 2 months I'm enjoying cooking with new foods and techniques. I've picked up about a dozen new cookbooks and have learned a lot in short order.

Overall, again, I feel your statement is unfounded and I'd suggest for those interested in improving their health to try slow shifts to more plants. There's only upside and there are many studies in support of.

The final piece of it is our planet. Animals raised for meat production requires excessive energy and waste. Beyond that most of our meat supply chain is riddled with things such as E Coli (supported in many recent studies - as an example of the many: https://www.asm.org/index.php/mbiosphere/item/6219-connectin...).

TL:DR
Don't miss meat after giving it up. Those who say it adds "value" without actually trying don't have basis to support their claim.
How do you create a bootcamp/apprenticeship system aimed at women, but is gender neutral in terms of admissions?
Honestly, I find the American propensity to blame Russia for its actions in Crimea to be of the most blatant hypocrisy one can imagine. Russia has better arguments for defending its naval bases in Crimea from Ukraine hostility, than America has for .. Iraq .. Afghanistan .. Libya .. and so on.

Do Americans just not see their own hypocrisy on this issue? Russia didn't invade and destroy entire nation(s) (PLURAL) in order to exercise global military power - it invaded Crimea to secure its own resources in the region. Ukraine did not fall, it has not been utterly destroyed, its infrastructure not-related to offensive actions against the Russian naval bases in Crimea is still intact.

But we cannot say that about America's actions in the forementioned countries, nor can we say that Russian interference in the American 'election' is anywhere near the same order of magnitude as American interference in .. 20+ different democracies around the world. I shan't make a list - this is an exercise for the average American reader to demonstrate for themselves that there is no hypocrisy here.

And .. NATO. The military organization currently doing its best to ensure Russia is encircled by heavy military assets. Tell me again: when was the last time Russia established full operational, offensive bases within 30 km's of the borders of the USA with any of its clients and their military?

Please, do not play this game. It makes no sense and it just makes you sound utterly ill-informed. Russia is in no way on par with the USA when it comes to military aggression. Not even close.
(Disclaimer: I only have experience with Elm, not ReasonML)

Their goals might align quite a lot (functional programming for the browser; compiling to JS), but Elm seems to me more "pure" than ReasonML, and places extra emphasis on correctness ("no runtime errors").

For example, ReasonML allows you to put JS code inside its source [1]. Which might be great if you want that escape hatch, but might mean that runtime errors are common when working with ReasonML. Elm trades a bit of convenience for the enforced reliability.

I think he wanted to use time when Russia was weak and disorganized to contain it. I was thinking that better would have been incorporating Russia to EU back then, but that's not something strong EU countries wanted (being outnumbered by Russians in EU governance) - historically Russia was always trying to become a part of Europe and Europe was always looking at those attempts nervously. I guess now that game is over, Russia seems to have decided it is no longer meaningful to aspire becoming a part of Europe and they will rather go with China, even if they really don't like each other that much. I don't think this is going to end well and we will see some major conflicts.
I understand what you are saying, but in this case the story isn’t represented at all on the front page. If the story was allowed to have its run, then, sure, see that discussion, but if it was flagged off or demoted for some reason, I don’t see how the dupe flag is serving s purpose.

I did learn about /active, which might be better than the front page for my purposes. I probably wouldn’t have said something if I was looking there instead.

Ravens Are Evolving and Not in the Way You’d Expect
I didn’t plan to have kids, but I then read something that clicked in my head, it was along the lines of “if you don’t have any children, your life is like a dead-end road”. I had/have several arguments against having children (inevitable death, crazy world, etc), but the dead-end road analogy made me rethink everything; not in a egocentrical way, but made me think of how my life is great and special and how I can give someone else the opportunity to continue it, just like my parents did with me.

Using one of these with my Nikon lenses on an Olympus m43 body ... results are spectacular. It allows you to throw 35mm amounts of light on a sensor 1/4 as large, which has benefits.
One benefit of the larger sensor is higher dynamic range. If you want to photograph images with great contrast and details at the same time (e.g. for product photography or landscapes), you need a camera that offers you great color sensitivity.
Of course, it is all depends on how maximalist you (or your clients) are.
I recently switched to full-frame from APC-C, the first thing I noticed was it is much easier to make pictures with “wow” factor than with my APC-C one, but that is something I expect after spending 4-times prince on the gear. (Sony NEX-6 -> Sony A7 II, almost the same years they came out, so I don't expect much difference on camera IQ.)

The post-Soviet era is and was not the end of history. Geopolitical competition exists as a human condition.

Much of the "communist versus capitalist" competition that "justified" the Cold War, was actually just a result of two powers that were going to compete anyway pushing competing views of global economic-political organization.

The competition was not itself about economic philosophies. Rather competition of economic philosophies was the result of conflict.

The United States today is a waning power relative to the rest of the world. However, it's still the de facto superpower.

The American strategy is to keep its foot on Russia's neck and while containing the possible rise of China's power (seeking to keep it to a regional, rather than global setting).

Yes, the Cold War is still going. There's less of a chance of an immediate nuclear exchange, but the US and Russia continue proxy warfare (e.g. Syria, Ukraine, Iran) and propaganda warfare (e.g. US and Russia's interference in one another's elections)
