Well, both sets actually start growing before birth, so your timeline is a bit off. The primary teeth start to come in after half a year or so after a child is born. The permanent teeth continue to develop until they absorb the roots of the primary teeth beginning around 6-7 years old, causing them to fall out and making room for the new teeth.
This feels so against so many "Modern" ideas like Redux (one giant source of data) and anti pub/sub. (message passing)
I really don't appreciate this attempt to shift blame away from any group and onto any other group. it's unprofessional and suggests working out who we can point the finger out and convincing people not to point the finger at our group is more important than the tragedy that happened and trying to work out ways to take responsibility for that. I'm sure all systems involved in the failure could be improved in some way. to emphasize how one system is not responsible is not a very empathetic response.
None of those tools result in what the service has done to several photos I threw at it.

I gave it a photo of Daniel Craig with a black suit on a black background and it did a damn good job of isolating the person.
This is why I wrote Timeliner: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner - a tool to download all my content from essential cloud services (like Google Photos, etc) -- I don't like to trust the cloud as a master copy of my data.
This is going to sound cynical, but I recently invested a week in rllib for a project before discovering that much of the under-the-hood implementation was horribly confusing, poorly documented and missing critical functionality (for instance, their IMPALA implementation only works with discrete action spaces). Does this library conceal similar problems?

Mattresses and couches are a mix of fabric, wood and metal. Most places don't accept them unless you strip them down, which is a PITA (which is precisely why they don't take them).
That's really useful to know Chris, thanks!
In the Google case, I don't believe the files were ever deleted. While the article says they were unable to download it again, my understanding is that Google never deletes or prevents access to your own files on Drive (in cases like this). So maybe something else was going on here I'm unfamiliar with.

Google was preventing the sharing of the files, but that should have been it.

My dentists, whose service I'm very happy with, are telling me misaligned teeth are much more prone to decay than the straight ones.

Reasons being: certain parts of the dental periphery are more vulnerable since they are supposed to be covered by gums or neighboring teeth.

My dentists keep saying that our teeth are highly specialized in every meaning of the word, and every deviation from the beaten path is heavily penalized with decay and a number of other conditions.

Single stream recycling doesn't mean what you think; trash and recycling mixed and someone magically sorts it all out. It just means the recyclable materials don't need to be separated.

Sadly this is a very common misconception with single stream recycling and leads to significant contamination of the recyclable material [see article!].

Add Self to your list, which was even purer than Smalltalk since it got rid of the classes and let the objects stand by themselves.

It's not just the actor model, though. In the actor model, all the actors are contributors to the conversation. The subjects of conversation are something else. In object oriented programming, the subjects of conversation are the same category of things as the agents of conversation, and may move back and forth freely.

The simplest way to see the difference is to think about how a new contributor to the conversation is added. In the actor model, some actor forks a new actor in response to a message. If I have built up the state to describe a new actor, there is still a step to bring it to life that changes it from one thing to another.

In object oriented programming, when you build up that state, it may become a contributor to the conversation at any point in time and then go back to being a subject of conversation, or do both at once. There is no switch.

Long story short, the 30 year review and analysis states that rich people (those that pay their senators/congresscritters) get their laws passed, even when rejected by the bulk of the common person. And yet popular nonrich-popular laws are regularly dismissed without a consideration.

1$ = 1 vote. It happens at the regulatory level, the bill level, and the vote level. That's corruption no matter how you frame it.

"Is there any objective data to measure this?"

Pretty much every digital marketer's job description consists of measuring and optimizing this. All the major digital ad platforms let you put tracking beacons throughout your page's sales flow so you can measure conversion rates directly and know exactly which ad campaign led to a sale; that's one of the major advantages of digital over print or TV.

You can certainly debate the ethics of advertising in general, and whether it's ethical to psychologically manipulate people into buying products they don't need and wouldn't have bought otherwise. I personally don't really want to first because I hold opinions on both sides and second because nothing's going to get resolved by such a debate on HN - it's a debate that's been going on for 120 years, though the media hegemony described in the article silenced it for many years. But as an objective fact, there's little room for debating the effectiveness of advertising. Ads work, even if they might be evil.
Yeah, wisdom teeth are so annoying!
Sure? But at minimum they were no dumber then the extant works show. There are plenty of dumb people today too.
I'm not worried about what people 100 years from now will do with my data. I'm worried about what people 2 years from now will do with my data.

And there's a point in that what I may have felt was acceptable at the time may not be in years to come. And my online presence is significant enough I can't personally remember everything I've ever said, much less the context in which I said it. But I'm still responsible for it if someone digs it up. I can't make a guarantee it is purged from the Internet, but I should probably try to keep it somewhat in check.

They were Yahoo and HotMail, and they both had significantly worse spam filtering than gmail. They also had relatively poor security, reflected in bugs that made it common for even relatively careful users to have their accounts hijacked (at least, that’s what I heard from users at the time; I didn’t really use either one much myself.)
It's funny how all the Occupy Wall Street protesters on the news were homeless, all Obama supporters were welfare supported, and all Trump supporters are ignorant rednecks. Socialists are all unemployed and look lazy.

I think this quote from a blog post [0] gives a pretty clear from the Objective-C perspective:

I was thinking recently on the idea of “sending a message” versus that of “calling
a method”. Those familiar with the capabilities of the Objective-C runtime understand
that there is a difference.

Most compiled languages refer to methods and functions internally as offsets. The
offset indicates that if one were to move a certain number of spaces in memory
from a designated starting point, then we would find the beginning of the
instructions that correspond to the desired function.

This has the advantage of being very fast. The starting point is known at compile-
time, and so to find the appropriate section of memory takes just a couple of
instructions. However, it has the disadvantage of being inflexible. This
is where most compiled languages differ from Objective-C

The Objective-C runtime maintains a list of all the methods and functions it knows
about. The list has two components per entry: the name of the method (known as
the method’s “selector”) and the location of the method in memory.

When an object attempts to “call a method”, it is really behaving quite differently.
When the code was compiled, the compiler translated the code [anObject
doMethod:aParameter]; into objc_msgSend(anObject, @selector(doMethod:),
aParameter); (basically. The actual behavior is slightly more complex but is all
explained in the documentation).

The objc_msgSend() function does a dynamic lookup. It knows the name of the method
it’s supposed to find (@selector(doMethod:)), and so it goes and looks up in its big
list where it can find what it’s supposed to do next.

This allows us to do some really interesting things. For example, we can modify this
list whenever we want. We can swap out values of the list, so that instead of
selector A executing the code for A, selector A might instead point to the code
for B. The runtime allows us to do some very powerful stuff.

The disadvantage is that this is (as you might imagine) slightly slower than directly
jumping to the appropriate section in code. However, the difference is
minute. Each message send takes just a couple nanoseconds longer than a regular
method call.

This is really cool but pricing for commercial images seems high. At work we use pixelz.com which is an API for human image processing. They clear cut/resize/rotate and recolor for around $0.60 per image. Results are fantastic, we have around 1 in 1000 images that have to be sent for reprocessing.

The only advantage I could see to using this is the instant turn around.

Edit: I was looking at the one off pricing. It looks like subscriptions are really good value.
I guess it depends on how much water you collect....
Design Can’t Live Alone
I'm sure this happens to some extent, but based on my experience as an employee who interacts with people on social media as part of my role I also think you are underestimating how many people legitimately ask questions on Reddit / Hacker News / Twitter etc. I'm sure that there are some bad actors out there that post a question as well as the answer and that use an upvote ring to boost their comments for visibility, but there are also employees that just respond to legitimate comments that they see on the internet.

As part of my role for Amazon Web Services I frequently respond to comments on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Hacker News. When I see someone asking a question about an AWS service, saying something inaccurate about AWS, or who seems like they could legitimately benefit from some knowledge I can share with them then I'll post a reply. You can check through my comment history if you are interested, but here is a recent example of such an interaction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19282477

There are quite a few people out there like me who monitor relevant discussions and interact with people on social media websites as part of their job role. I would never "astroturf", not only because its unethical, but also because there is plenty of legitimate and relevant discussion that I can contribute to when needed without needing to resort to creating artificial questions.

Most companies would discriminate in your favor for both reasons. I suppose it is unpleasant to be the token woman or the token old person though. It sucks to suspect that you are being kept around to meet somebody's quota.
I don't want to knock the hard work the Riot developers have put into their application, but I just don't understand: why does 'modern' web design seem to require wasting so much white space? Looking at the screenshot on that blog post, the actual chat transcript is somewhere in the middle of the screen (sandwiched between giant sidebars on either side).

Compare to irssi (or any other console IRC program), which uses just about the entire width of the terminal to print chat messages.

Is this really just a side-effect of developers all having large, high-DPI monitors, making the white space look smaller to them? Because on my tiny little Chromebook, no more than 50% of the screen width is actually used to display chat messages.
The World Wide Web Turns 30. Where Does It Go from Here?
> No, but they'd need to pass laws and fight court battles to enable censorship versus merely taking over existing systems of censorship.

I don't think that's a significant hurdle to any politician with popular support.

Look at Trump, for example, not because I hate him (well I do, but that's not the point here), but because he is a good example of what a politician can do. He rammed into the freaking Supreme Court a candidate that was accused as rapist. And there was nothing the opposition could do.

And the crazy thing is, Trump doesn't even enjoy unanimous support. Far from it.

There's not much you can do once a politician is at power, has a semblance of popular support, and is willing to forego established political norms. Laws? They will change laws, they will take their matter to courts, and they will win.

So I'm still not convinced it's a net positive to have an uncompromising legal roadblock against censorship, when the cost is to increase the chance that someone will rise to power and kick that roadblock away like a tin can.

Show HN: Applying Machine Learning to March Madness
FWIW I had Alan Kay's biologically-inspired "message passing" approach when I wrote a routing library : https://github.com/jdonaldson/golgi

The premise was to start with a standard class-based instance, and then use metaprogramming to autodefine a corresponding ADT for all possible typed responses from the API.

This gets around the main problem of message routing (IMHO): Namely, if you're relying on a host system to interpret your message how it sees fit, then you don't really know how it will respond in a given case. Will it error? Will it call something different than what you thought? The solution is just to enumerate every possible response type, and return a corresponding composite type as an ADT. I was doing that manually in a few prior cases, and then realized I could use the macro programming features in Haxe to do something automatically, and put together a library as a POC.

I'm certain that FP purists would argue that this is equivalent to some other pre-existing type transformation... but I haven't found it yet. I'm interested if anyone else has been experimenting in this area.

I saw ISIS propaganda videos at around the age of 16. The ones where they kill people in various ways. Nothing else in life has made me disgusted by other people as much as those videos did. I'm reminded of the videos when I read about ISIS. It strengthens my view that ISIS is a group that needs to be fought.
I've isolated MSG as a cause of sinus headaches for me, along with a handful of other foods.
