Well, that skin is photo sensitive shouldn't be too surprising one would think and for indications like psoriasis it can indeed help to apply uv light (non ionizing). That latter is an immune reaction that produces too much skin cells and the stressor from light can significantly reduce this for a lot of patients.

Given, it doesn't really heal the disease, but I believe people suffering from skin lesions will take anything to lessen the symptoms. While not deadly, it is a significant penalty to life quality.

As for light beyond the uv spectrum which the article focuses on I don't know of any effects. Infrared light heats you up of course, but I am skeptical about the rest of the visible spectrum.

UV-light ages your skin, that is why dermatologists try to restrict application of UV-light to patients after they received a certain dosage. I heavily doubt any form of light exposure can actually reduce aging effects.
> I prefer to write small commits with simple messages that explain exactly what that change does.

One thing people should include in commit messages is why the change is being made. In other words, what's the purpose of the change. That can provide a lot of context that can be lost over time. So my commit messages include both what was done and why it was done. The why part can range from things like this method is needed for this feature that does something, or this fixes a bug that was causing this issue, or this other feature is no longer needed in context of this other reason, etc.

It's okay if you really prefer to read a huge squashed commit instead of an atomic commit in a branch, but you made it sound like squashing was necessary in order to reduce building and testing. That's wrong. You can use `git bisect` on merge commits only, then, once the faulty merge is detected, bisect the commits of the merged branch. Bisecting merges won't take more time than bisecting squashed branches.

I think you're wrong -- containers aren't ready for legacy enterprise, VMs are a better choice of abstraction for an initial move to cloud.

Get your data centers all running VMWare, then VMDK import to AWS AMIs, then wrap them all in autoscaling groups, figure out where the SPOFs have moved to, and only then start moving to containers.

In the mean time, all new development happens on serverless.

Don't let anything new connect to a legacy database directly, only via API at worst, or preferably via events.

b) not extending trust to 3rd party domains is literally why allowing mixed_content is a terrible idea

---

Anthony Levandowski, the engineer and autonomous vehicle startup founder who was at the center of a trade secrets lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, has been ordered to pay $179 million to end a contract dispute over his departure from Google.

Reuters was the first to report the court order.

An arbitration panel ruled in December that Levandowski and Lior Ron had engaged in unfair competition and breached their contract with Google when they left the company to start a rival autonomous vehicle company focused on trucking, called Otto. Uber acquired Otto in 2017. A San Francisco County court confirmed Wednesday the panel’s decision.

Ron settled last month with Google for $9.7 million. However, Levandowski, had disputed the ruling. The San Francisco County Superior Court denied his petition today, granting Google’s petition to hold Levandowski to the arbitration agreement under which he was liable.

Levandowski himself may not have to pay the money personally, as this sort of liability may fall to his employer depending on his contract or other legal quirks. However, Levandowski personally filed today for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, stating that the presumptive $179M debt quite exceeds his assets, which he estimates at somewhere between $50M and $100M.

A representative for Levandowski declined comment for this story.

Devin Coldewey contributed to this story.

> Is the veracrypt drive, and therefore the HVM, linked to my specific instance of tails or can it be accessed by anyone with a tails usb and my veracrypt authentication details?

If someone has your VeraCrypt volume password, the volume can be unlocked by them using via any Tails stick but potentially any other operating system. What HiddenVM does is reduce digital forensic evidence of using that volume quite fundamentally.

> Also, is it possible to have tails on one usb and a veracrypt drive on a seperate USB drive?

Yes. It may be faster if you make your computer's internal SSD to be one entire partitionless hidden VeraCrypt volume.

> How would that effect deniability at, say, a border?

We want to be careful about making claims about deniability, and it's still a field we have a lot to learn about at HiddenVM. Someone more knowledgeable might dare to answer this. We already give two examples on the github page. Your situation is unique and only you can know what deniability strategy works best.

I think the idea that this comparison (to color for display of information) is valid in your mind already proves the author’s point.

Why should the communication of a corporate brand identity or the consumer interface to its products be using the same tactics as visual display of complex information?

The principles of visual display of complex information also derive from goals about clarity, preventing influence of outliers, neutral colors, etc.

What are those goals for a corporate communication strategy? If you think they are anything other than scary misinformation tactics to maximize profit and brand perception while minimizing the company’s bad externalities, you’re just fooling yourself.

When the principles of visual display of information are repurposed to optimize profit, minimize negative externalities and control a brand image, infantilization is one of the results.

I'm not sure that human uses that general intelligence when driving and when decisions must be made quickly. I think that brain uses shortcuts and does not really reason about things. And those shortcuts are likely work similar to trained neural networks. That's one reason why novice drivers have problems: they don't have those shortcuts in their brains yet, so they have to reason and that takes valuable time and attention.

Though I think that robotic automobiles must perform better than humans, so equipping them with better sensors makes perfect sense, regardless of algorithms.

We have one large B&N in town - diverse selection of books and mags, clean, and a sizable quasi-Starbucks cafe with tons of power outlets. I really enjoy it, and frankly compared to our indie bookshops, I prefer it - its volume, sterility, service and anonymity combined with familiarity and an unpretentious attitude. I don't need to see the same homely indie bookmonger making eye contact with me every time I walk in a bookstore with their expectations and shawls. Leave me alone and don't talk to me. :D

It might look intuitive just by looking at them, but good drivers won't trust that intuition, because humans are very unpredictable species. So good drivers will slow down to have enough time to react if necessary. You should not trust "reasonable prediction" when you're talking about death danger.

If your solution comprises only of one or few systems, and primary reason for which you are considering k8s is just to tackle clustering/scalability/ service discovery then you can always just try to start by building simple clustering into your system.

Obviously this will not always be the right solution, but in some cases might be better fit than k8s...

I think so. Sometimes we have long-lived branches with multiple contributors for new features. Is this some kind of anti-pattern?
We don't use feature flags, they seem hard to maintain and restrictive in terms of what you can do (e.g. structural changes).
OTOH, because we're a small team, when there's a lot of work in a new feature branch there's little work on master, so there's little hassle there too.

Show HN: SeekWell Stories – Write data-driven narratives with SQL
Mike from SeekWell here. We built Stories to help people easily write rich narratives about their data using SQL. The inspiration comes from years of sifting thru reports, dashboards and spreadsheets to find data points that then need to be manipulated and plugged into update emails.

SeekWell lets you pipe SQL results into templates and automatically publish the results on a schedule (e.g. daily @ 7 AM). The results can be distributed via email, Slack, or in SeekWell Docs. Stories are great for short regular updates (e.g. daily metrics) or alerts (e.g. a canceled subscription).

We currently support Postgres, MySQL, MS SQL, Snowflake. You can also pipe values from Google Sheets into Stories. Give it a shot and let us know what you think!

I forget where I hear it or if it was my own idea (the shame, I know, I know!) but... cant you have an unknown number of username/password pairs that decrypt/unpack the same chunk of data into different things?

You install some games on one, some office apps on the next, put some downloaded movies on the 3rd. You could give them "all" 50 passwords and they could never find OS nr 51.
Or just wipe the HDD and install a fresh OS? I have to admit that I'm uncertain exactly what the goal is.
