I wonder whether we can infer this, because although the genes might result in nerves that more sensitively detect trauma and transmit that stimulus, we don't know that neanderthal experience of that pain was more intense, maybe their pain experience to a given stimulus was calibrated differently? Or perhaps, these nerves were slightly more sparsely placed in stouter bodies and had to detect injury across a greater region?

It sounds like they had to endure some damage:

I like the wikipedia quote:
'
It has been remarked that Neanderthals showed a frequency of such injuries comparable to that of modern rodeo professionals, showing frequent contact with large, combative mammals. The pattern of fractures, along with the absence of throwing weapons, suggests that they may have hunted by leaping onto their prey and stabbing or even wrestling it to the ground.'

The irony, of course, is that the US is pulling these heavy handed maneuvers at a time when the rest of the world would have gladly done it for the US for free.

Half the world is currently pissed with China. India already banned Tik Tok. The US could have used what is left of its diplomatic corps (devastated in the past few years) to encourage other countries such as the NATO nations, 5 eyes countries and other allies to threaten to ban Tik Tok and the likes of China didn’t resolve their security concerns. And the vast majority of them would have agreed, essentially forcing China to do this or something similar without the US losing its moral high ground, and gaining strength and respect amongst its allies instead of looking like a street level rent a mob type.

The same with the TPP. The US under this administration and tried hard to punish China, and basically, over the past few years has managed to slightly alter the fortunes of 2 individual companies, at a huge cost to its local farm sales, and hasn’t gained much in return at all, while hurting China only marginally.

If they had remained in the TPP, they would have had a much greater effect across Chinese companies (since it wouldn’t require cherry picking individual companies and acting specially for each of them) and the influence would have been levered since it would have come from pretty much every neighbor of China, and further, would have come at little cost to the US.

What’s most disturbing about these actions isn’t so much the actions themselves, but the fact that they have traded away so much of the US’s reputation built over generations, cost the US so much in rep and straight up cash, and has barely got it anything in return. And all this while much more effective alternatives which would have cost the US nothing but instead would have helped it strengthen its position in the world, existed by acting through its alliances.
Depends on the position of course :-).

Show HN: I made a steganography program
This is different to the other stego programs out there in that it allows the user to choose how many LSB (Least significant bits) they want to use. This is important because if you use 4LSB an image can store more data but it is more obvious in the output, with 1LSB it is less obvious but you can store 1/4 as much data. My program also allows you to input text OR image into a cover image. If you are unfamiliar with steganography - I have tried to explain it simply on the github readme. ANY feedback on the program or the repo would be greatly appreciated!

IMGUI draws within a window, it does not create new windows. FLTK (like other GUI libraries) automatically uses native file dialogs. Drag and drop means you can drag files into the program, drag strings out of the program, etc. as well as copy and paste in and out of the program. IMGUI is great at what it does, but it does not have native file dialogs or drag and drop. I don't think it interfaces with the OS at all.
There is nothing immoral about a country looking out for its own best interests. Maybe you find this situation unsightly but if this goes through without much change to the app, 99% of users won't care and will probably be somewhat relieved that their most used app is not property of the Chinese gov. Maybe you don't understand this but foreign policy is messy and aggressive and China is probably the best country at it (if you don't know what China's belt and road policy is, look it up). I don't know if your American but I'm can pretty safley assume you live in a western country because I find there is an infectious idea that western countries are too principled and shouldn't use their power and infuence to be manipulative or even interfere with trade regardless of whether it is good for them.

Also, we haven't been treating the disease yet. We have gotten better at managing/alleviating the symptoms and relying on the body's own immune system to clear the infection. If this discovery allows for a more targeted treatment of the infection itself rather than its symptoms, it's actually very good news. But even then, it's going to take months before we can validate the efficacy of such a treatment.

It's one of the reasons I bought a Kobo e-reader is because they had support for a Dyslexia font (not sure which one it is but looks similar). For me that font helped me in both reading speed and correctness.

I can only applaud the initiative but I can get that its not for every person with dyslexia.

I have ~20 VMs + containers, and no way to view all of their logs in a central sensible manner unless I roll my own (or buy more hardware to be able to run the ELK cluster).

> I don’t have COVID-19

You can't know this with certainty at any given time unless you've been rigorous in avoiding social contact and other exposure, and at worst the mask accomplishes nothing but does no harm (in the vast majority of cases), so there's no reason to _not_ wear a mask.

> There’s no evidence that supports the idea of asymptotic spread

"Asymptomatic transmission (i.e. when the infector has no symptoms throughout the course of the disease), is difficult to quantify. [...] Pre-symptomatic transmission (i.e. when the infector develops symptoms after transmitting the virus to another person) has been reported. Exposure of secondary cases occurred 1–3 days before the source patient developed symptoms." https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/latest-evidence/trans...

Hi HN,

Omkar and I have just released V1 of Dolphyn Reports. After doing a number of interviews with folks in data science and ML we learned that many resort to cut/paste and screenshotting to share notebook findings.

We built a click and drop builder to create clean, beautiful reports to share with consumers in minutes. There is a hard link between the cells in the report and the notebook, so re-running the notebook refreshes the report. Add text, re-size and re-position to create a visually appealing summary of your work.

The url has a few sample notebooks to play around with the report builder. Please let us know if you see this being useful in your workflow.

Thanks,
Rohit

CarPlay would work quite well on the Tesla UI. On the S/X display it would appear in landscape form, taking up half the screen just like other "apps". On the 3/Y it would use the right 2/3rds of the screen just like other "apps".

They won't do it though, because as you say Tesla does most stuff just as well, if not better, on their native UI. And they want to keep people in their ecosystem.

The main advantages of CarPlay on Tesla would be: 1) ability to install 3rd party apps, and 2) Much better voice support. But both of these are things that Tesla could implement/improve in their own software.

Yes; gevent does also fix this problem. But it also gives you a lot of new problems when running all requests async. In my experience mostly with views that (in some specific calls, i.e for a specific customer) keep the cpu tied up, for example serializing a lot of data. Random other requests will be stuck waiting and seem slow while it is a lot more difficult to find out which view is the actual problem.

I have deployed applications both under gevent and sync workers in gunicorn and would personally never use gevent again, especially in bigger projects. It makes the behavior of the application unpredictable.

Jupyter is a Python environment built around IPython (Interactive Python). A notebook is a series of "cells" which are snippets of Python code. You execute these cells and see results in another pane much like if you were just noodling around in the console (except there's one unified place where output appears). Where it's seeing a lot of traction is in data science where someone can explore the data with code, save their exploration, and share it with others. The advantage over a standard paper is that when someone opens a notebook, they see all the code and can run and mess with it independently.
