In Europe there’s automated passport control gates with face recognition in several airports. These are based on the photo stored on passport. Not sure how automatic these are - would be of course possible to have a human there looking at the photos.

According to quick search there’s no specific resolution requirement for the image in biometric passport, but size should be min 12kB to have recognizable image.

That would be neat. Imagine going to a site, adding some photos of yourself and seeing all the clothes as they would look on you based on your actual dimensions. You'd never have to wonder if something would look good on you. I imagine this would save a ton of shipping costs on returns.

Why should anybody take any chances when another person is one swipe away?
Oddly, I hear more groaning about not being able to buy manuals every day here. It sees more of a metro vs rural thing. Metro folk only want autos because traffic, and rural folk like the control, and feel of manuals more on smaller roads. Living near mountains manuals are hugely popular as they allow much safer driving by engine braking, while many will overheat their brakes.

Other than a few fleet style trucks, most manual options in the usa are performance models.
> C's simplicity leads to fewer guarantees, this makes some optimizations impossible.

I know that's the theory, but with few exceptions this doesn't seem to have panned out in reality anywhere and C is usually still the gold standard when it come to performance. How many more decades until we get these sufficiently smart compilers?
Is there a better way to check for an emirp other than checking if the number is prime, and then checking if its reverse is also prime?

Did all the dictators get together and decide on the phrase "national security" as the go to when implementing authoritarian laws?
> (as once it's washed, you can't safely keep them at room temp anymore).

Yes you can. I'm in the US and I've been keeping my eggs on the counter for years now. They last for months and I have not had a single spoiled one except if it was cracked.
Or maybe they'll sort through all of the publicly available voice data for any actor and start talking and sounding exactly like them. No need for any actors.
Most people who do follow the development of Kubernetes in the community do know him though. What matters is not whether people know him or not, just that Azure has done lot of cool things around k8s in the last few years and lot of top folks who are part of the community are working at Azure / Microsoft.
Uk, which does this properly, has a vastly lower rate.
Seriously. I have gone so far as to get junkyard seats from a 'lesser' trim to upgrade the leather seats in used cars. When new they are okay, but seem to last 4-6 years before looking hopelessly worn thanks to the cheap quality used even in luxury cars nowdays. Gone are the days of full-grain that patina'ed instead of disintergrating.
My one experience with losing an ID was that there was no real issue although it took 15 minutes or so to do a more thorough check. It was very professional. The Travelodge at the other end was a bigger deal though I was eventually able to check in there.

ADDED: It appears that as of Oct 1 2020, this sort of exception will no longer be possible.
About half the eggs in the US come from chickens that have been immunized against salmonella. There's no easy way to tell, but you can call them and ask.
Better make watertight social control devices if you want to hand everyone alien nose hair trimmers that can level city's. Same for the flying cruise.. Cars.

That doesn't really mean anything. Most people outside of white collar professions glorify it; they haven't done it before.
This is interesting. Scandinavia is mentioned as another refrigerating part of the world, yet as a Swede, I don't think I've ever seen cold eggs in stores. On the other hand, virtually everyone I know buys room-temperature eggs, get home, and promptly put them in the fridge.
Pornhub is competent, "gets" Tumblr, and has the know-how when it comes to filtering porn. With how cheap they're going to get this, this could be a massive win for Pornhub.
Have they figured out how the corona gets to a million degrees yet? Or just agreed to stop talking about it?
It's not the washing that does anything, it's the fridge - it keeps the salmonella from growing.

Other countries immunize their chickens. In the US only about half the chickens are immunized.
Show HN: Human Protein Atlas Classification
I think there is a bit of a simpson's paradox thing going on here. Going by the BLS data here[1], in Q1 of 2000, 31.5% of workers (who are over the age of 25, all races and genders) had no college and 15.6% had some college but no degree, so people with some college but no degree were between percentiles 31.5 and 47.1 in terms of educational attainment. In Q1 of 2019, 21.9% of workers had no college and 18.6% of workers had some college but no degree, so people with some college but no degree are now between percentiles 21.9 and 40.5.

In other words, in 2000, the 25th percentile worker by education level had no college education, and in 2019 the 25th percentile worker by education level does have some college education (but no degree). The 25th percentile worker by education level makes more money in 2019 than they did in 2000, even when adjusting for inflation, but which category they are counted in has changed as the population becomes more educated.

(more can be said, and has been said elsewhere, about how much of the purpose of higher education is to develop one's skills and how much is to serve as an IQ / conscientiousness test that employers can't be sued for using)

It's not clear that Tumblr can be salvaged anymore. A name like pornhub could give confidence that Tumblr won't try another porn purge; at least to the people paying attention. But I suspect that the vast majority of users that left would simply be unaware of change of policy, let alone the change of ownership.

And even if they were, the community is gone, and you can't just rebuild that.
You always wanna replace the factory amp when going aftermarket tho. And the euro din spec is hardly used anymore, just get the ugly larger frame that works with all the jap din spec. A good local installer will cost you a little bit more, but will save you time and grief.

Din standard is actually quite nice and I miss it dearly. The new intergrated audio/climate/navigation will look dated in a decade anyway.
Promiscuous people are the only vector for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. This is a problem that was solved shortly after hydroengineering. There’s a very popular book that contains a foolproof guide to avoiding this class of diseases.

No disrespect intended towards those individuals who prefer to, for whatever reason, engage in manifestly high risk activities. Although I’d rather not be taxed to pay for their abject stupidity. Sadly we live in an hedonic age and you all know what that means.
Well, I dunno if you consider GitHub branch names circa 2015 sensible...
Keep in mind you're replying to the CEO of a YC W13 company that wasn't acquired two months ago for $150M by Google (that was his competitor, Alooma [1]) and wasn't acquired in November for $60M by Talend (that was Stitch Data, another competitor [2]). Your points are absolutely valid, you're just barking up the wrong tree. Both of those were SaaS-based ETL connector companies that were acquired while executing a similar enough strategy, and they both saw nice exits.

If you look at his comment history, you'll notice he mentions Snowflake at every single opportunity. Snowflake raised $450M last October (~$1B valuation), so they have a nice warchest for strategic acquisitions.

Off topic: I think the OTOH idiom is for weighing opposing facts. You aren't doing that here: the lack of store refrigeration and the room temp purchase are equivalent. Being mentioned is the opposite, but that was in a distant clause.

I won't say the usage is definitely wrong (being English, after all), but it struck me as interesting.

Certainly some commercial products can make GPL2 components work, but in general, it is a barrier to commercial adoption. I don't think you can totally dismiss GPL licensing concerns as "there aren't any."
Not all public believe they shouldn't say anything before investigation is over.
So salmonella only occurs on factory farms? That’s a nonsense to suggest that. Backyard chickens seem to transmit salmonella at higher rates than factory chickens.
I am one of the senior Engineers and would be glad to go over anything you want to talk about if you would like me to contact you.
I've called multiple times and schedule a check every three months to see if it's been updated. Been doing that for years. Won't give you my cross streets but I assure you, they have nothing for me.

They say it's available just a few blocks over. That's been the case for a long time and they can't seem to get it about 0.25 miles further. Been that way for years.
Sounds like paranoia to clean them. Never heard of that.

I found a 50¢ on the ground and $2 in the laundry today. I was thinking of buying a cup of coffee tomorrow, but I’ll get in on this action, $2.50 for 18%, and I’ll throw in the dime I found in my shoe last week for a Board seat. There’s some additional changes I would like to make to the content policy.

Should we be thinking of Wikipedia alone, or Wikipedia plus all of the fan and other wikis that have sprung up around it? When you consider the collection of all of them there isn't much of a notability restriction and cardinality takes a jump forward too. Of course the collection of them doesn't get you an ontology carefully elaborated by a single mastermind, you just get whatever emerges from this decentralised web.
At Netflix scale it’s probably cheaper to leverage cloud solutions than to maintain (build, equip, set up, maintain, upate, upgrade) their own data center.

The second law of thermodynamics basically stipulates this is impossible. All materials wear out no matter what, even black holes eventually turn to entropy. You could create one with much better resistance to wear, but never completely resistant. Also I doubt true superconductors exist, it may be their losses exist below measurement error, but the fact that electrons are in relative motion, and are subject to the effects of the world around it, they must lose energy at some point.

Edit 1: Second, not first law
Edit 2: In your second paragraph, you literally described a perpetual motion machine, electrons going around a circuit is still 'motion'
Of course you can. You can also eat raw meat. Most people don't.

Plus, a high percentage of homeless Americans have serious health issues. If you are, for example, being treated for cancer, you aren't supposed to eat, for example, raw cookie dough because of the raw egg it contains.
People from all over the world are reading this, just about coming to terms with the idea that Americans store eggs in the fridge and now you're saying they'd put them in the freezer? A step too far!
Rooting and re-romming is decidedly nontrivial in many cases, even for otherwise technically proficient users. Many devices are poorly supported, information is at best unclear, tool distribution is vastly less than trust-inspiring, data loss risk is high, and supported platforms for accomplishing root are limited.

Source: been trying (off and on) to root a device since 2015. By all accounts, it's not ROMable.

This being a key reason I've all but entirely soured on smartphones and tablets of any description, though Purism are looking interesting.
If my car is unsafe, to me, is it not my own risk assesment to judge? Should we ban extreme sports too? As an adult, I cherish the responsibility of choice.
Plus, you don't have to be homeless to not have a refrigerator. Plenty of people live under a roof, but without a refrigerator.

With that being said, I believe American eggs can still be safely kept at room temperature up to several weeks.
Don't even have to be "smaller". Many have huge populations. They're just less developed than the likes of the US.
> I will be interested to see if they have managed to fix the irritatingly slow I/O with this too

Is it worse than accessing the files directly from wsl? I certainly found that on the slow side. Though from what I've read on the topic (notably https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/873#issuecomment-425...) incremental improvements might be all that's ever possible given Windows' current I/O stack.

It's one of the annoyances that drove me back to Linux. That's in turn equally irritating in different ways, which will probably drive me back to Windows.
Hey guess what? I've had friends with autistic kids. It ruined their relationship with their "neutotypical" offspring, who says the same thing (and now no longer talks to her parents).

Some people's only real purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others; the people who raise a severely autistic child are in that camp.

Fuck that noise.
#10KBLAZE exploits could affect 9 out of 10 SAP installs
Sounds like just a bit of fun to me. For one, emirp-hood depends on the number base, which means it’s not intrinsic to the number, but depends on some arbitrary choice of representation. Generally, things like that don’t indicate anything deep.
Having never been searched, how does this work? You hand them your shutdown or locked laptop and they look at it from the outside? Or you are forced to login and they click around the device?

Or do they have some special hardware that tries to access things through USB or thunderbolt or similar?

Either way I think it's time allies (e.g. Europe) start questioning the surveillance practices. The US constitution is written for a very free and well thought out country, but the reality is moving away from that.
Did you use Tumblr? It was the home of my personal blog, and I also used the mobile app.

It was a poor experience lacking in engagement. Using Instagram and Reddit was much more fulfilling in creative and online social/community needs.

Tumblr's numbers were flat lining before they removed porn. I know this because my friend was a Tumblr engineer and would share data from their all hands meetings.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette

> A suffragette was a member of militant women's organisations in the early 20th century who, under the banner "Votes for Women", fought for the right to vote in public elections, known as women's suffrage.

> The suffragettes heckled politicians, tried to storm parliament, were attacked and sexually assaulted during battles with the police, chained themselves to railings, smashed windows, set fire to postboxes and empty buildings, set bombs in order to damage churches and property, and faced anger and ridicule in the media.

Men and women are human beings. We all fight for what we want.

No, it's not a criminal matter, it's a civil matter. It's illegal in the same way as parking somewhere you're not supposed to. Not everything that's illegal is a crime. "It is generally accurate that the simple act of being in the United States illegally is not, by itself, a crime. Rather, it’s a civil violation that puts the individual at risk for deportation, but not for criminal prosecution." [1]

This isn't always a good thing, of course, as there's less due process involved in handling such situations. Unlawful entry is a misdemeanor, lying to a border guard is a crime, and unlawful re-entry after deportation can be, also.

I'm sure this could have applications in porn as well. Want to cater to someone's specific kink? Just generate it.
They are, which is good. It's more a concern that the widespread availability of ARVs is somewhat dependent on the developed world still being terrified of HIV and thus heavily subsidizing treatment.

Like a vaccine-preventable disease near elimination, I worry a lot about people taking their foot off the gas.

And last I talked to HIV control folks in Uganda (several years ago, admittedly) there was a lot of concern about survivability meaning a dramatic increase in the prevalence of HIV, and thus the demand for ARVs.
it's funny how folks from different countries throw shade on the ones that treat their eggs differently, as if that is an indication of which country is better. Every few months a thread on Reddit gets this going. Nice to see an article that says that both approaches work about the same.
Stunningly, the people who run Verizon couldn’t operate Tumblr if they tried, and no matter how hard they tried, and I guess that has to tell you something important. That when a company really fucking sucks, it is so deeply engrained and baked into the fabric of the organization, and how it operates, that certain things will just forever be impossible within their four walls.

If anything, this is a testament to why totalitarian states are shitbirds to the last, because a loser is a loser.
How often do you clean your hands after touching your eggs.

When handling raw meat, I always clean my hands and separate the working surfaces. For eggs, I don't.
What we call gut feeling is often a subconscious interpretation of the person’s body language, physical appearance and tone of voice. It’s always good to try to explicit why you had that feeling before basing your decision on it.

I often think that shy people are assholes at first. Now that I’m aware of that I try to test the shyness hypothesis first when I have that feeling.

So exploit it, it’s something humans developed for good reasons. Just be aware of the biais and use it as a good starting point for a behavioral interview.
Good lord, they went for that crap, too?! Damn!

On the other hand the new-looking Q5 I got as a loaner couple months ago had a perfectly fine physical button interface, with a little touchpad on the MMI comsole you could use to scroll around (and apparently even write). That was quite good.
Do cars these days also come with non-replacable non-free software or tons of tracking?
I stopped refrigerating eggs, when i found out I can make better fried eggs if they're at room temperature. :)

"if you keep your eggs in the fridge, then you should let them come to room temperature before cooking – if you start with a cold egg, then you're more likely to end up overcooking the yolk trying to get the white to set."

A very similar kind of trust is required in general for any sexual contact: if someone claims to have been tested, at what point do you believe them? Has that changed? How reliable is their access to testing? Could they have contracted something recently, and it is simply incubating with no symptoms?

It's not exactly the same, but it's not entirely different.
A one-time banner is not a dark UI pattern, jeez.
I think a lot has to do with folks in the US being more OCD about cleaning their food. For example, most people in the US would never eat cheese that was crawling with visible mold and bacteria but the French prefer it that way (so I was told by a French friend. he said cheese must have 'the bugs')
For people who don't believe in UFOs - surely you've got to admit that there's something pretty odd about detailed descriptions of flying machines ("Vimanas") being written about thousands of years ago by the Indians in the Mahabarata?
I wonder how much internal pressure there is to move to React Native, or Vue Native.
Um, no there are such things as frictionless machines which without interruption can run forever. That’s actually what superconductivity is—moving electrons without resistance (friction).
