>> common for incorrect amounts of anesthesia to be administered and many patients waking up

It is a thing, but not during the civil war. The horror story happens when using drugs meant to paralyze internal organs. Those drugs don't make you sleep, just paralyze you and your organs so your intestines aren't squirming around as the doc tries to fix something. So if they give you that, but not the actual anesthetic, things go bad. Modern hospitals have devices to pick up on this situation. (In the extreme situation of full consciousness, anyone monitoring heart rate will notice something is very wrong.)

In civil war days this didn't happen as they didn't have the artificial respiration necessary to support such drugs. You could easily have been given not enough, but the paralysis-but-awake thing (true "anesthesia awareness") wouldn't happen.
I have a feeling in the software dev stack, they were like "Let's test out our computer vision. We can disable x and y. It's okay because we have a human driver."

Any assistant features reduce driver awareness. Take the Tesla car that crashed into a barrier. Even if the driver had hands on the wheel, the fact the car was auto-lane adjusting well for so long can relax the drivers cognitive functions. You start thinking about other things, and not even realize your lane assistant feature, improperly named "auto-pilot" lost its tracking and is now driving you into a barrier. You're dead.

Uber shouldn't have had these cars on the road, and they certainly shouldn't have disabled any safety features because they thought they could rely on drivers to stay alert after eight+ hours a day in these things.
To be honest I just repeated back stuff I read about K, as I haven't gotten into K enough to hit these limits. Commentary from someone with actual experience is great, thanks!
Not correct. g(x){ ... if x is null panic otherwise x->v = n} can currently be optimized to x->v =n given f(){ ... y =x->v ... g(x) }
because null dereferences are assumed impossible in some twisted interpretation of the standard. Imagine the effects with inlining and LTO. That's my issue, not perfectly ordinary standard value caching etc.
Could Tinder have started using machine learning to select who they show you?
I myself had previously contemplated applying machine learning that would learn from a few hundre of my left and right swipes in order to swipe on my behalf, so this topic is something that had been on my mind already.

A couple of days ago Tinder showed me four faces at once and asked me to pick one of them that it would send a super like to on my behalf.

Of course that could simply have been four people I’d previously swiped right, rather than being four new people picked on basis of my previous swiping.

I also think Tinder has gotten better at showing people I find attractive, but that does not necessarily mean any ML is involved. First of all I have a wider radius set now than I used to so I guess it could be that those people are simply the people that are most popular in general like before but because the area is bigger there are more good looking people.
Also since you're creating a tunnel, you should make sure your end is firewalled correctly from the incomming connections from the other side. Especially if you're a dev type and may run local services on all interfaces mindlessly or whatever.
Don't forget Cytomegalovirus (CMV, or HHV-5)! (Also, the zoster/chickenpox virus is calle Varicella-zoster virus (VZV or HHV-3).

Since there is no proposed mechanism for how the virus may be involved, there is no way to know if acyclovir, cidofovir, or any nucleoside analog might help. These drugs only really help to stop actively replicating viruses (lytic viruses). Most of the herpesvirus life cycle is spent in "latency" where it only exists as a piece of DNA (some, like HHV6/7 may integrate into the host chromosome, others like HSV-1/HHV-1 and EBV/HHV-4 maintain their genome as a separate molecule). During this period, there are few, if any, genes made, but in some cases, those genes may be important to disease pathogenesis. The role of herpesviruses in latency-associated diseases is very complicated, and is also dependent on host genetics.
I treat the two as synonyms. What do they mean?
> because of defense contractors working on a military project (ARPANET).

Ehh, kinda, but not really. Less military contractors and more research grants given to academics. The difference is subtle, but an academic institution is a public institution focused on advancing science and teaching it to the public. A corporation or contractor is in it for the profit. Notably, the academics involved were able to publish their work as the TCP/IP standard (and others), and anyone was able to use it.

If it had actually been military contractors we would not have the internet as it is today.

I wouldn't clame that all cop shootings are in bad faith by the cops. Sometimes violence is necessary (alas, it seems to happen in the US exponentially more often than in other developed countries).

But if you have a gun and the person that you target hasn't then threats as you describe them usually don't come to play.

It especially doesn't explain that cops shoot people into the back, when they very clearly pose no threat.

And they often used to get away with it would it not be for video.

And still victims are smeared.
Putting aside complete currency crashes it devalues savings. In addition to the top capturing more revenue assets like real estate don't depricate with inflation and may receive a post adjustment boost in value.
This seems like by far the most likely case. That said, Twitter should know better than to let this happen, anyone could have predicted that the optics would place a lot of blame on them. I can't imagine Twitter couldn't support an additional 7 days after giving warning.
We are on a path to some entities knowing almost everything about most citizens but these citizens know almost nothing about these entities. I think a good way would be to open up all data but whoever benefits from the current asymmetry will fight that tooth and nails. There won't be much profit in data everybody can get.
Having worked in China in the semiconductor industry, it really saddens me what the Chinese are trying to do. You simply cannot out innovate 4 decades of work in a few years no matter how much money you throw at it.

Also, China has a branding problem and it is only going to get worse. They can make short term progress but it takes a long time to build a great brand.
You're leaving out why they were given money: to fight back against a Communist coup supported by the Soviet Union.
It's slightly misleading to say that because other countries, like China and Russia, aren't as transparent with their budgets and there is some hiding of military spending in other parts of their government, from what I've read.
UBuild: A Jekyll Theme with a Modular Page Builder
For the export at GSOC we had a streaming REST interface based on akka-streams. It is used to get the data into other systems based on spark for more complex analysis.

Of course you also lose the compression, but the target system is typically only interested in a small subset of the data.
Finally are article that points out the real effects of corporate surveillance instead of making vague references to Black Mirrors: it's psychological warfare.
Harder to do. As one commenter on Reddit pointed out, the problem is that you need nuclear power of some kind beyond Jupiter. Falcon heavy isn't nuke-rated and it may be a challenge to get it there.

So that leaves F9's, which are probably more likely to get nuke-rated eventually, or sending up your deep probe on a FH and rendezvous with a separately launched nuke-generator.
what designs do you consider fast?
Check out polyimide aerogels, it's flexible and has ridiculous insulating properties. On top of that your hands are providing heat which makes a big difference.

Though I suspect mittens are probably far easier to manufacture as that's what current designs for -60c use. Either way you are not going to have much flexibility, but could grab something.
DOD would have way more cost effective spending ditching the F-35 flying turkey and buying the IP for TSMC, and moving US fab to Virginia/Austin.
What don't you find 'clean' about the Stripe integration?
That slides are very content-sparse. Being able to display the decks as a single continuous document and with several slides per screen makes what little information it contains much easier to go through (and back to if necessary).
I think we'll see subpoenas for e-mails/slack messages and people digging through documents trying to figure out which manager/dev made this decision.

One small mistake, on something so critical, can ruin many peoples' lives.
Manufacturing slippage may also be behind Intel CEO Brian Krzanich's resignation
How do you know it ACTUALLY triggered at 25, then 50 ppm, rather than some other higher threshold?
No idea, but I'm not convinced it would be worse. Maybe we'd try more international consensus and only do UN sanctioned intervention and peace keeping.

Best way to figure it out might be for the US to try it :) (but it seems to go in a different, likely more dangerous way instead: isolationism from the international scene with increased military spending).
>The reasons why Patreon banned them are very murky and unclean; they never said exactly why.

And yet you're certain the reasons were politically motivated.
> Can a human driver handle those things?

I'll point out that in this case the crash was "entirely avoidable" according to the official police report.
It's very easy to have revenue but no runway. If your monthly burn is $1M and monthly revenue is $800K and you have no cash in the bank, you have no runway.

But that takes more than 3 years. So not an option for Trump. Tariffs are instant.
> Growing up hungry, with worn out second hand clothes, and dysfunctional families happens also in post-industrial societies.

Just pointing out that the parent didn't imply a dysfunctional family in their upbringing. Familial dysfunction is orthogonal to poor, hungry, and having old clothes; and in my opinion can be a far more life-constraining factor for the future.
The Great Filter – Are we almost past it? (1998)
That is also an old argument, but has fairly obvious weaknesses.

We are talking about morals here, after all. It can be the most rational path for you to work towards improving [in your mind] how things work where you are.

My question was genuine, by the way. I don't have the answers to any of this. I do distrust moral arguments that seem naive or overly simplistic.

I don't think the US will do that anytime soon, but yes, I would imagine that would cause people to protest.
You should go to ISIS and change their ideology, arrest their leaders, protect them from threats, stop brainwashing, lead them to proper direction, and stop any help to ISIS. If it looks easy for you, maybe it really easy. Just do it.
Two exits down the freeway from Disneyland is Knott's Berry Farm. You can bring your family of 4 there for under $200.

The experience will not be as polished or "magical" as Disneyland, but it still has many attractions and entertainment options.

Drive another hour and you can take your family to Six Flags Magic Mountain, or if you prefer to Universal Studios Hollywood. The experience at these parks will be even less polished than Knott's, but your kids will still probably have a great time.

The beauty of the free market is that even though not everyone can easily afford a premium experience, other companies are more than happy to compete for your entertainment dollars.
Only by virtue of Apple adopted it for its hundreds of millions of devices, but you could make the same case for anything Apple alone adopts. That alone doesn't make it a standard.

I for one hope the web will end up adopting the Netflix-backed, AV1-based, and royalty-free AVIF:

Nothing in my comment had anything to do with "geographic spread" neither did I state they were a monopoly. My comment clearly states "it's not too far off."

Anti-trust law concerns the ability of a company to constrain competition. AT&T as the largest satellite provider(DirecTV) the seconds largest Cell Phone provider by customers and wireless spectrum holdings and now also owner of one of the largest media/content companies is very much in a position to "constrain competition. This potential to constrain competition was at the root of their failed $39 billion bid to buy T-Mobile 7 years ago.
Another facet of this is how quickly people adopt new technologies - whether they're proven to be safe (or good) or not. Personally, I've evolved into not trusting technology, not trusting the people behind most of the technology being produced today.

In contrast, this woman was so quickly at ease (I wonder what she was told beforehand, during her training) that she felt comfortable enough to watch TV. I also wonder, as this kind of tech progresses, how it will be sold to the public. Perhaps the same: "we take your security seriously"...
It is indeed influenced by Regehr's proposal, but is written as a concrete proposal to the WG14 committee.
Is it possible to embed Gravity in my C/C++ project and safely run untrusted Gravity code?

The Lua implementation supports the creation of sandboxes to run untrusted scripts, but this is a feature that other embeddable languages (e.g. Wren, Python) don't seem to support.

I feel like this would be a basic requirement - or is it common to embed a scripting language without limiting what scripts are able to do?

Integrating physical devices with IOTA
Google isn't the first or last MNC

Does anyone not think of Toyota as Japanese? General Electric is certainly an MNC, but they are quite proudly "American" as is Volkswagen proudly "German."

So, it's silly to think that MNC's, by virtue of their MNC nature, jettison their national allegiance in the ultimate case.

If you want to make the case that they should be truly "multi-national", then we're off to my favorite possible dystopian world, where a corporation becomes a sovereign entity with the power of a state, which is the ultimate conclusion of such thinking.
I can confirm, and its annoying.

Probably easy to fix. Otherwise this is pretty cool looking.
A consulting company I worked at a few years ago had an "Interactive" team whose "UX" designers used exclusively Material Design for everything.

Show HN: Nimiq Funder
They take the Go 1 promise quite seriously and do try not to change existing behaviour, which is a good thing. I'm quite happy about that, because otherwise we'd see far more breaking changes, and it'd be painful to develop large apps on top of the stdlib. Perhaps in Go 2 they'd be open to changing it or moving ioutil out of the stdlib, but I'm quite sure someone somewhere depends on the ordering, and you're complaining about a 10 line function, you could just copy it out and remove the offending line:

func ReadDir(dirname string) ([]os.FileInfo, error) {
f, err := os.Open(dirname)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
list, err := f.Readdir(-1)
f.Close()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return list, nil
}

I much prefer a language and stdlib that stays stable over years, even at the cost of some nice new features/improvements - the place for code to move fast and break things (if you like that sort of thing) is much higher up the stack.
I'm confused.

When engineers from a company who deals with the military (or some other ethically objectionably client) don't refuse to work on these projects, HN questions their values and urges them to make a stand, refuse, find another job if necessary, etc.

When the engineers do refuse, HN criticises them for beign self-righteous, virtue-signalling, and unpatriotic because countries with a lower ethical bar (Russia and China are the usual ones) are going to surpass the US in cyberwar.

So... which is it?
From reading the article these aren't just accountants or financial managers: they're on call 24/7 and ready to handhold you through everything and seem to be willing to manage every aspect of your life that you throw at them (love life included, like mentioned in the article). Seems like it's a ton of work.
The human driver is also at fault and maybe even more so than the company. Don't know what his instructions were, but probably the main reason to have him on the drivers seat was exactly to avoid this kind of situation. The guy should have been paying attention to the road, ready to take over, not staring at his phone completely oblivious of what was going on.

This situation in a way is very similar to another story that was on HN yesterday about a guy who got "fired by a machine". We are putting a huge amount of trust on automatic systems, sometimes without a failsafe mechanism. This inevitably leads to bad consequences.
I see your point, although I would probably use something like mruby[1] if I wanted something embeddable and OO.

Lol, thanks for the explanation. Usually the Python people just say, "Yeah, Python is slow; just write the hotpath in C", which is somewhat disingenuous but they aren't exactly denying that Python is slow (which is why I assumed my point of view was pretty garden-variety).
Why should health insurance be progressive? I'd be willing to bet that healthcare costs scale sub-linearly with income, so why would a private insurer charge more to somebody who makes more money?

In the case of a properly functioning public healthcare system, I totally buy and support it, though.
Gross income.

I interviewed a potential business manager that was recommended by a few celebrity-actor types a few years back.

The idea of someone taking financial responsibility off your plate full-stop was definitely intriguing, but I did the math about what that would cost vs. just a full time personal assistant and I couldn't justify it.

He did immediately recommend a new bank for me which I had never heard about. Was fantastic advice, been happy with them since.
If the data is free the only actors that capitalize on it will be the people that automate the ETL on it and are constantly looking for new ways to apply it.

Under Obama, occasionally we had a few children seperated from their parents and placed in detention camps. In the last 6 weeks we had over 2000 children seperated.

There was a change in policy from: we don't generally presecute parents with children, to: prosecute all parents with children.

You don't think that change could have had anything to do with people's outrage?
No, this is the system we used to have in the robber baron era and it functioned. It just leads to the concentration of control of large enterprises in the hands of individuals and small groups.

We already have plenty of evidence that this is true, too: people have died using the Uber and Tesla systems while nobody has taken the Volvo safety system Uber disabled as absolving them of responsibility for driving, and those systems have been in the hands of drivers for a number of years by now.

This is the comment I was shooting at. I don't believe this. Instead I believe something far more terrifying.

"Society manages complexity by the occasional cull of the free thinker"

Lots of smart people can bring a lot of good change to a society and culture, but one needs to be very careful to think the majority of the population in that society will accept those changes, and the faster they occur, the more resentment builds. Suddenly you have politicians and activists pining for the 'good old days'. Suddenly a nice authoritarian figure pops up and tells the masses that he can fix all their problems. There are ample examples in history to see where this leads.
Good luck. Great idea to solicit feedback early
