I don't have much that can help. We started with pressure sensitive foam for our first proof of concept since it was much easier to obtain. Soon after we worked with a Chinese manufacturer to source a replacement ink. They silkscreen and cure the ink for us into the sheets we need as a component in the final assembly.

One thing I can caution you on is how finicky the inks are. Ink thickness, curing time and temperature, and abrasions to the ink can have large impacts on the responsiveness of the ink to pressure. We do a lot of software and hardware work to mitigate these inconsistencies.

He could ad : ads kill information.

As an example, google "cbd oil vs cbd isolate" or "why is cbd isolate in powder form...", in order to understand the difference and the relation betweens the 2 components (knowing Canabidiol should already be an oil, as its name suggest) and why cbd isolate is under the form of powder and not liquid as CBD oil.

Everything that come in the first results pages are fake blog posts from commercial sites or commercial offers. We quickly understand one contains the other after reading the first 3 pages from the result. But we never find an article explaining the actual chimical nature of cbd isolate (or pure form of cbd) or even an actual scientific study about cbd.

It's only the same and repeated argument, "article" after "article" about one pure form contained in another... and that for the first several result pages from a meta-search engine like searx (searx.be in this example with setting settle to include in general results Bing, Google, Yahoo, Yandex, DuckDuckGo and StartPage).

The good information has been covered under a thick layer of low density infomertial bullshit.

It's like trying to watch a movie in the middle of car traffic : You can't hear anything from the movie original soundtrack.

It take to further research, like "why is cannabidiol a powder", to have access in the first result page to actual independant articles for cbd, but under the form of its less "commercial" name, "cannabidiol"... to learn that lot of claims about cbd are not founded on actual scientific researches.

In short, the word CBD have been hijacked by commercial entities for profit and lost the biggest chunk of its actual meaning.

Information is lost in the process.

And I still don't know why cbd isolate is in powder form.

>"The effects of littering were considered negligible for Denmark and not considered."

>That is, one of the biggest concerns of plastics. and the environment -- long-term residency if tossed, especially in waterways or the ocean, simply isn't addressed

Maybe the problem here is that the "biggest concern" is not necessarily a concern worth having. In other words, regardless of what currently animates environmentalists, the actual effects of plastic bag littering in Denmark are in fact negligible, as they say.

Where I am, the latest craze is to worry about plastic straws. To listen to people you would think the sea was thick with the things. I feel like the crowd latches onto silly things to care about, perhaps as a distraction from tackling the serious things. It's been amazing to see how fast the concern with plastic has metastasized in the culture.
Differentiable Programming with Erik Meijer
Think about infant mortality, sanitation or historical practices like suttee.
Mozilla recognizes that in some exceptional circumstances, revoking misissued certificates within the prescribed deadline may cause significant harm, such as when the certificate is used in critical infrastructure and cannot be safely replaced prior to the revocation deadline, or when the volume of revocations in a short period of time would result in a large cumulative impact to the web. However, Mozilla does not grant exceptions to the BR revocation requirements. It is our position that your CA is ultimately responsible for deciding if the harm caused by following the requirements of BR section 4.9.1 outweighs the risks that are passed on to individuals who rely on the web PKI by choosing not to meet this requirement.

That statement "may cause significant harm" is what I expect weighed on the CA's mind. When revoking a certificate could kill someone, and there is still a high barrier to exploit (i.e. no "proven method that exposes the Subscriber's Private Key to compromise") it should be up to the CA to clearly explain the situation, and up to Ryan to accept the explanation given. ("It is our position that your CA is ultimately responsible for deciding if the harm [...] outweighs the risks")

Clearly Actalis was not in a position to articulate the harm, which is their fault.

That said, I'm fully aware of the compliance hoops that must be jumped through when providing updates to medical devices. If you have to distribute firmware to medical devices, 4 months can be a remarkably fast turnaround. But in that case, CA-issued certificates are probably inferior to self-signed certificates (on an organisational level) that are not subject to external revocation.

It seems weird to me to belabor this point.

Hmm, you need to sign up before they reveal pricing. But they won't exploit that data, eh?
Genius because it should be obvious? Yes, it should be obvious for people familiar with both areas, and it is actually known for quite a long time. Hyperbolic geometry is used for visualizing hierarchical data since Lamping-Rao 1995 and Munzner 1998, then there were papers about hyperbolic SOMs (2001 IIRC) and lots of papers about the Hyperbolic Random Graph model for scale-free networks. I would say that the paper linked above introducing "Poincare embeddings" (a rather poor name IMO, BTW) does not feel as impressive if you know the details and the earlier work.
Using AI to give doctors a 48-hour head start on life-threatening illness
My approach would be to have subject "Check and revise the priority of Redmine issue (#455)". I'd then put an explanation in the body of the email. That puts the task in the inbox, and they can open it if they want to see the details again later.

This has helped me when there are multiple things that have to be done. I now usually send several messages rather than one, with one task per email. In the cases that is not practical, I make it clear in the subject that there are several things to be done, and the body starts with a list of all the tasks.

I'm a pretty great value for my works actually. Could do more? I don't actually believe it. I learned what I'm doing since I was 8. There's no way anyone would have paid for theses learning experience for me except advertisers.

You could certainly argue that I could have a more fun childhood if I didn't dedicate so much of it to learning. That could certainly be true, but I still enjoyed quite a bit my childhood doing theses crazy projects.

Yet it's entirely plausible that they were consciously making that trade off. I see a lot of similarities to cases like these:

> Ford (..) Pinto became a subject of controversy after Mother Jones magazine exposed that it was prone to deadly fires in rear-end collisions; Ford’s internal documents showed the company knew of the potential problem but chose not to fix it, calculating that it would be cheaper to pay out possible injury claims.

> The Japanese manufacturer of airbags has recalled airbags in some 19.2 million vehicles in the U.S. due to a tendency of the device to deploy with too much force, sending metal scraps flying into the passenger cabin.

According to a New York Times report, Honda, one of the companies using the bags, and Takata knew about the dangerous airbags for years before disclosing it to the public and issuing recalls.

Haha "contractor's license" what is that? At the state level, some electricians are licensed. Carpenters, generals? No way. The county we're talking about doesn't even inspect private homes. (Which lack of inspection is a good thing. You can always hire an inspector. In the meantime, thrifty folks are building their own homes and only hiring out for the jobs they can't do themselves.) Besides this was probably thirty years ago. My friend is old. His employer (is he who you want to see licensed?) probably isn't even still alive now.

CO is dangerous, sure, but lots of fireplaces have had poor draws over the thousands of years that humans have been using fireplaces. It's more common to die from CO when the whole house is burning, but it isn't a sure thing even then. Lots of practices that used to be accepted are going away now that some buildings have CO detectors installed. I had to get the fire department involved to convince a tenant in my office building that their cleaning crew shouldn't use propane-powered floor buffers. The fire department guy was like "I wondered why we had a CO alarm in June..."

It's amusing to me that you're so sure my friend was lying about this amusing anecdote from his past. I've seen this guy get in an argument with an employer when he thought he had been overpaid.

Ask HN: How do you annotate your data?
Hey HN,

I'm curious how folks annotate their data to be used in ML pipelines (NLP/Vision) and what their experiences have been. Production/applied examples with teams of annotators would be great.

From folks I've spoken with these seem to be the most common ways:

* Custom Solution
* Prodigy
* Dataturks
* Lighttag

I'm curious if there are more latent examples leveraging your users such as Google's image captcha.

Sure, but that would be available to the ones that can profit from it directly, not the mass population that would have an hard time seeing value created from it.

Instead they would expect word of mouth to be sufficent, and in a way they wouldn't be wrong in that world because in that world everything would depends from it. They just wouldn't have the luxury of having all theses others experience that depends on ads to exist, simply because ads wouldn't be there to allow them to exist.

Our PM would identify and prioritize customer requirements (so creating a foobar in the UI is P1, renaming it is P2, showing a loading spinner is P3, etc). Then our QA tester would “bug bash” and assign priority to bugs according to the requirement it violated. We had a policy of “GA releases cannot contain any >P2 priority bugs” or similar.

This system worked well with a technical PM, proper release planning (allocating time to test and fix bugs), and the autonomy to bend the rules a bit in either direction (e.g. “this bug is technically P4 but it’s embarrassing and will be easier to fix now”). At times we had an additional ongoing policy of pulling several non-blocker bugs into each sprint to ensure they weren’t neglected.
California Police Are Sharing Facial Recognition Databases to ID Suspects
Facing a symmetric opponent that isn't holding back (e.g., to maintain deniability about their actual involvement), the US’s entire conventional arsenal is irrelevant (and, heck,even the tactical nuclear arsenal is mostly irrelevant.)

Of course, the same is true of the symmetric opponent, that is the way symmetry works.

I'm rejecting the idea that, for analysis of the utility of US military forces outside of the strategic triad, “real opponents” = “symmetric opponents”, and even casting doubt on the idea that, in the same context, “real opponents” ⊆ “symmetric opponents”.

Great article, thank you. As recently as 10 years ago, I was still sleeping in hostels or on benches in Europe while traveling around in the crusty student/bohemian style.

Has anyone successfully implemented this? Fascinating approach, but outside of the "manual" I can't seem to find much information about it.
I think that the lumbering hogs we call publication web sites these days are making sure that you as a reader are paying a cost to use their otherwise free web site; paying a subscription is better, but no one will do that. People on mobiles pay a tax that people on desktops don't, and people on bad connections in poor areas pay a tax that people in rich fibre-wonderlands don't, and yet energy and money is wasted on transferring garbage that nobody wants.

I seem to get dismissed whenever I suggest this, but these web sites could instead try another approach: remove all the garbage, have a beautiful, clean web site, and implement artificial rate limiting on all connections to it. If you want a super fast experience, pay a subscription! What are the upsides?

* Less bandwidth and energy and mobile phone battery is wasted.

* The site will still load in the same time that people are normally used to anyway.

* Rich people and poor people get the same experience; you don't pay a poor people tax if you are poor. Equity!

* Mobile phone users don't pay a tax, either.

* Meanwhile, Rich people have disposable income; they should be spending money on magazines and newspapers that people are producing anyway, to show their support, but they don't, so here's an incentive. They also indirectly support the poor people with news/media, who can't afford to pay a subscription (or wouldn't benefit anyway).

Isn't anyone trying this model?

>Do you really think there should be zero protections for creative works?

Creative works may be protected by means of the existing contract system, anything beyond that is grossly controlling and leads to absurd situations.

>That authors who spend years writing a book shouldn't be able to sell their text†? Would the movie studios stay in business?

If that is what ends up happening then sure, but it doesn't really matter to me either way, if your enterprise depends on the artificial restriction of an abstract format it's probably not a good business model. For all intents and purposes we already live in a world without intellectual property, your average Joe doesn't pay for music and yet musicians have found alternative business models now it's time for the journals, authors and filmmakers to do the same. Besides, people still buy the official version of Free as in Freedom despite it being a creative commons work.

Most definitely, services need to exist and someone will be willing to pay to have it created. Same thing goes for graphic design etc.
