The case is directed at her specifically: "Meng is accused of committing fraud in 2013 by telling U.S. financial institutions that Huawei had no connection to Skycom, which was reportedly selling goods manufactured in the United States to Iran in violation of American sanctions on Tehran. Meng has contended Huawei sold Skycom in 2009." [1]

As far as selective enforcement - can you give any examples?

Also - even though you're probably right on some level, and I fully agree there's 'relevance' to the current situation in China, I would argue it's not acutely relevant.

A lot of law enforcement doesn't happen until there's some people getting bold about it. For example, the Hells Angels get away with a lot until there is real violence, or super hardcore drugs start appearing - then the cops focus their attention more on the situation. Organized crime knows this, which is why they choose to keep the equilibrium by staying quiet, generally.

Since America has general competitive concerns with China, it makes sense that a large international firm that is flagrantly violating US law would be targeted by a body in the justice system.

But it doesn't mean that Trump's hawkish team is behind this as a part of the negotiations.

In fact, I really don't think it's part of the negotiation, and I even bet that Trump et. al. were caught maybe off guard by it.

So yes, politicized, but more in general, not acutely.

Moreover, if there is law being broken it should be prosecuted, and to your point, hopefully more evenly.

FYI - sometimes these things are also done to 'send a signal'. Just like if a Hells Angel dude steps out of line and maybe does something violent, and the cops rush down on all members of that chapter, it's a 'signal' to HA leadership that if they step out of line, that's what's going to happen, i.e. part of keeping the equilibrium. Otherwise, if the HA chapter got away with something, others might try as well.

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is fighting against physics in the same way that O(n) vs O(n^2) vs O(n!) algorithms have wildly different performance at scale.

It's a point solution, depositing ~1 voxel per unit of time. Running print heads in parallel is still O(1). Speeding up the print head runs out of steam because you run into vibration limits for the machinery (you can hear the rattling in the audio for this article). To really scale you need to deposit ~n voxels per unit of time (HP's MJF technology) or ~n^2 (Carbon's CLIP).

You need lots of voxels for high resolution for most applications. There are certain exceptions like prototyping in PETG or 3D printing concrete houses where the speed limitations of FFF may not be a big issue. But for 3D printing to compete with many forms of traditional manufacturing, simultaneous parallel structuring of matter is key.
Look at the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Their belief isn’t necessarily yeast but dietary standards in general. Promotion of a vegetarian/vegan diet, and removal of alcohol, coffee, and sugar since the late 1800’s. As far as I know the dietary standards include the promotion of the effects of gut bateria, and the ill effects of eating things like warm bread but not necessarily removal of yeast.
I'm not sure. This is not a data collection, it is a filter on an existing data collection.

The data itself are your emails, which they keep because they are your email provider, and they already show them to you whenever you want them.

Which provides a very interesting workaround for google against the GDPR. But IANAL so probably I am missing something.

edit:

I've also not written anything about methodology, so I hope my writings have not given the impression that one can play fast and loose with supplements. I actually follow a safety-first approach, and I do this only after a doctor reaches a dead-end.

General approach for evaluating supplements:

1- Find out about something that sounds promising, either by accident, or googling ideas and stumbling upon something that claims to improve your condition in some way.

2- Skim reputable sites (that cite research) listing the potential pros and cons of the supplement in question. Stop here if there is an unacceptable level of risk.

3- Skim any research about the supplement vs. your condition.

4- Read Amazon/iherb/other customer reviews for formulations of the supplement. Do not get excited. Most of these reviews are fake. What you are doing here is scoping out the ideal claimed outcome as a screening tool. If the ideal outcome is not worthwhile, stop here.

5- Dig into the research yourself. Confirm the level of risk. Check interactions. Determine whether there is a chance of the supplement working.

6- Purchase and test product. Remain objective. The baseline expectation is that nothing will work. Don't be emotional about that. I love having experience with products regardless of whether they work for me or not. I find it very interesting either way.
There's two features: the irregular heart rhythm notification (available on Series 1 and later) which uses the heart rate sensor and is passively monitoring you, and the ECG app (only available on Series 4) which is an actual ECG (lead 1).

>If the PPG-based arrhythmia detection is enabled, each tachogram is classified using a proprietary algorithm to determine if an irregular rhythm may be present. An irregular tachogram initiates a cascade of more frequent tachogram collection (as frequently as possible, subject to a minimum spacing of 15 minutes) and analysis. Tachograms are collected and analyzed only if the user remains still enough to obtain a reading; because of this, the algorithm is not always monitoring the user, but rather is doing so opportunistically when adequate signal is available for collection/analysis. If five out of six sequential tachograms (including the initial one) are classified as irregular within a 48-hour period, the user is notified of the potential arrhythmia. In addition to the notification, the user can access more information related to these irregular tachograms within the Health app (Figure 1). If two tachograms are classified as not irregular before the threshold is reached, the cycle is reset and tachogram collection returns to the baseline rate (every two hours).

Why would a blood analysis be difficult to get pass an ethics committee? I get the confounding factors bit, but blood analysis seems to be a common practice.
Norwegians are per capita significantly richer than Americans.

GDP per capita is a lot higher, and they have a sovereign wealth fund that owns almost 2% of all public stocks in the entire world.

So 'America is rich' and Americans on average have quite a lot of cash, but overall, not so much as they will flip to electric at a $40K price tag.

The Norwegians will flip to 100% electric soon. Also for social/political reasons as well though.

Kuwaitis are rich but they're not going electric anytime soon.

>it seems it's a net loss for the consumers
How is it a net loss for consumers that Americans continue to get subsidised gas? If you had to pay even less it would have been a huge loss for the environment. It is about time that you start to pay the real price for gas including the environmental cost for the emissions
Does the ‘V’ stand for “Victorian” or “Verizon”? ;)
Until you noticed how much of our life revolves around gas (at least in the US)...I am all for the electrification of transportation such as cars the next coming couple of years but without oil, our current society would not even function. Driving to work? You need to use oil. Need groceries? You need to use oil. Grocery stores actually have stuff to sell? You need to use oil. There's enough food for everyone because crops are harvest and grown healthy? You need to use oil.
When you already have a bunch of fires burning setting more fires makes them compete for oxygen, but that doesn't help living things.

I would say the proper reaction to bullshit is critical thinking. Take someone like James Randi, and imagine instead of disproving deceptions he had just pretended to receive a message from spirits that this or that person was faking something. That's "competition" alright, but it's not helping, and it just helps normalizes something that has greater potential for abuse than use.
It seems like trending a story on HN is the only way to get Google to remove malware, unfortunately.
Back in the late 80s, early 90s, there was an integrated package called "Smart" by SmartWare Inc, which was a competitor to Lotus Symphony (pile of junk) and other 'integrated packages' (i.e. all in one word processing, spreadsheets and database).

Smart was the first system I saw that had the concept of different levels, i.e. you could set the system to be Basic, Standard or Advanced, which would change the menus and complexity of the package accordingly. It was also the first database system I saw that had the option of variable sized data records (remember, this was in the days of dBase III/IV).

But the killer feature of Smart for me was the absolutely powerful macro/scripting language, which let you customise the system to be almost anything you wanted it to be. I wrote a lot of custom 'apps' with it, with the crowning glory being a Constituent Management System for our local government which let member of parliament record data against their constituents and communicate with them (a bit like a CRM) plus plan walk lists when they went out doorknocking and campaigning.

I was sad that Smart never made the marketshare that other lesser featured competitors did, and eventually faded away. Would love to see such an integrated system online these days.
I don't think it's that simple.

If we in America are going to continue to use fuel, it's preferable (assuming this matters to you as an American) that we support the jobs and wealth of those in the United States before Saudi Arabia. At the same time, you're right this could be terrible, but for the reason that more supply could lower oil prices and make electric vehicles, and renewable energy as a whole, a less compelling alternative, thus slowing our transition.

I doubt the oil markets behave this simplistically, however, so who knows what will happen.

I’ve got the Kardia and had the opposite experience. I was having heart palpitations and was convinced I was dying even though every time I went to the cardiologist they said it was just premature contractions and nothing to worry about.

Since it was intermittent, I was convinced they just weren’t capturing the afib while it was happening. The doctor recommended I get the kardia.

After a few weeks of compulsively checking the kardia every time I had a palpitations it kept saying over and over again ‘normal’. I even captured a few that had visible skipped beats and sent them in to their technicians and they said ‘pvcs’, the same thing the cardiologist told me.

After a month or so, I finally convinced myself I wasn’t dying and the pvcs slowed down to the point where I barely noticed them.

Turns out that anxiety about heart palpitations causes heart palpitations which is sort of fucked if you think about it.

I basically quit caffeine, started exercising more and now I just get pvcs for a few minutes every few weeks or so instead of for hours every few days.

So yeah, if you have any anxiety about heart stuff at all, I recommend getting the new watch.

> toward what U.S. President Donald Trump has branded as "energy independence."

That seems unnecessarily charitable. I don't think this is a novel idea (in 2018), or one that can be credited to Trump in particular in any way.

Google trends puts the peak since 2004 (for the US) in 2008[0] — when US gas prices were at a relative height[1] — and basically declining interest since, as gas prices have fallen. But the concept long predates even that (initial interest in the US probably largely driven the 1973 OPEC oil embargo).[2]

You know I just came back from a tropical island, and that idea has took a beating. With adequate climate you can have loaded trees, and tons of different animals; so much you wouldn't know what to do with it. Western society tried to replace that with industries. But when people are far away from their needs there are inefficiencies introduces by individualism.
US reliance on fracking and natural gas results in high rates of extraction of light petroleum comonents: NGL (natural gas liquids) and lease condensate, especially. These cannot readily be converted into fuels, but are useful especially for processing heavier crude oil, particularly Agentinian / Orinoco cude, more comparable to tar.

I believe Canadian tar sands also rely on these, for similar reasons.

Lease condensate and NGL count toward total production and export numbers but are of limited use in domestic fuel consumption.

I'm pretty down on a lot of self-experimentation, but it's worth noting that probiotics are frequently recommended by doctors for many other issues and are unlikely to have harmful effects. I'm not familiar with the strain discussed here, but normal strains are ~$1/day. So the danger is that people might get a bit of false-hope or imagine a connection that's not there. I won't say that's harmless, but it can be a lot worse.

I'm more worried that people will latch on to the gut connection and experiment with other "cures". There's an entire world of people poisoning their kids to try and cure "gut problems".
Yep, another one for Picasa. I still use it, was able to grab the installer from one of Google's internal home pages,, when they took it down on .com

AFAICT, there is no option for focus follows mouse on recent OSX, such as El Cap, which I am running.

It appears, however, that High Sierra has an interesting option hidden deep in the accessibility preferences pane that achieves FFM, but I am not running High Sierra anywhere and cannot test that out ...

How does one determine how high quality their information is? I was getting more at the fact that science fundamentally fails to ever find the truth instead finding a reproducible phenomenon in nature and catalogs it. There is so much illusory information people disseminate today through misquoting or cherry picking scientific consensus to push an agenda that ite toxic.

But also we are blessed with the internet and means to fact check what we hear. I don't believe this problem is getting worse in 2018 than say the 1900's. Snake oil salesmen still typically quote facts, no matter how dubious.

The speaker's narrative style in this video has many depth-first branches, before he unwinds the stack and continues. This makes it a high-effort endeavor (for me) to stay focused on his message.

After ~15 minutes, I gleaned these two points:

1. Creation is an essential part of being human

2. The way we create has fundamentally changed over the past half-century, and the consumer of a work now plays a non-trivial role in shaping the work.

I wonder if the book has a similarly discursive style.

I suspect that any competition would always be portrayed as autocratic, corrupt and repressive, as we are influenced by the other side of the propaganda. Not that this is a lie. I really think that you will find some degree of repression, autocratism and corruption in any state seeking to attain or trying to keep some degree of global power and facing some opposition.
It could just be that they cache availability data, then do a cache invalidation on purchase to make sure. I see lots of inconsistencies between what different vendors consider registered.

The article stopped and made me reflect on what I gained through ham radio:

1. Piercing the mystery - Taking a handful of parts and building a working device. It gave me self confidence and totally changed how I look at electronics.

2. Mastery of a niche - I joined a club and found that in certain areas that I gained instant respect as a teenager from guys in their seventies. Where else could a teenager do that? Likewise these elders taught me lots of stuff.

3. Leading a team - When I went off to college and put together a team to compete in a multi-operator multi-transmitter weekend contest. It was my first time assembling a team and doing something complex. Lots of obstacles to overcome. It is also where I learned to just do something and ask permission later! That rather bad habit both helped and hurt my future career;<).

4. Being part of a fraternity with it's own language of terms. I would soon find that every profession would have its own rituals and language - including startups.

It's good and bad, like it or not oil is required for our modern society, and will be for a long time even as we transition away from it.

In the meantime, eliminating our energy dependence on autocratic nations is a pretty big benefit. EU is so dependent on Russian gas they can't push back against aggression.
The mode of heat transfer is very important for applications like this. Higher mass flow means you need a hotter heater which can get tricky for long term usage or you'll have to use some sort of refractory or ceramic based heater. Also with conduction, the biggest problem is heat loss either due to the environment of the system . It is almost impossible to direct all your energy towards a single source with conduction. Radiation on the other hand works really well for this type of application. Especially for lasers since the energy sources is highly polarized and condensed. The other method might be to use induction heaters or microwave, but plastics do not play well with that.
This.

And ultimately to prove the record of scientific knowledge we need reproducible data that can be independently confirmed. Its entirely possible and common to do science wrong and that's kinda the point. To try and find truth and then corroborate claims with other researchers.

Science is always a best guess until a better guess comes along.
