"In medicine, asystole, colloquially known as flatline, is a state of no cardiac electrical activity, hence no contractions of the myocardium and no cardiac output or blood flow."[1]

vs

"Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is a condition in which there is uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles in the heart, making them quiver rather than contract properly."[2]

By definition, if vfib is occuring, asystole isn't.

There's not much to go on with chat requests other than the senders address. At least emails have a body that's ripe for analysis.

Imagine spam filtering based only on the purported sender address. It'd probably suck.
The article doesn't say hard work doesn't work. But the study it describes shows that how and when that hard work is put in makes the difference between the elite and the "merely" successful.
"Currently for Modern Browsers only". Can you be more specific? No IE? IE from version 9? 10?
Cool, but I don't know how this applies to things that aren't as measurable as musical ability. What about more intangible things like creative or critical thinking? Also, the violin hasn't changed in hundreds of years, which means the value of the time you spend getting good at it will never depreciate. How does that change with something like computer programming?
So essentially the MRIs cost less in France because they use older, less accurate machines longer. Right?
while this does sound really horrible, the pragmatic part of me is forced to agree with google's decision here. Other gtalk users undoubtedly account for the lion's share of incoming requests, while non-gtalk requests undoubtedly account for the lion's share of spam. it's much, much easier to whitelist the few 'good' jabber providers than to filter the spam.
well sure, but he also needed to show that it's actually /possible/ to punish pirates with DRM. That there is such a thing as "reasonable DRM".
What does the SnapLogic Spring ‘13 Release mean for its users?
Interesting, but he does his comparisons based on line count. Only at the end of a too lengthy article does he show the comparisons based on character and token length. And his definition of token is faulty. As far as I can see it is only identifiers and keywords. (I didnt actually read the code.) Token length is good as it normalizes for stylistic differences, but tokens should include symbols as well as identifiers.

It is downright scary how incompetent, indifferent and arrogant most IT organizations are. They are usually run by someone who's background is in procurement (i.e. buying things cheap) or compliance (i.e. lawyer). And if you try to explain something like this to them, they just DO NOT CARE.
I'm with wasabiventures on this. The SquareOne method of categorizing your emails, similar to the psychological processes we use everyday, is a superior email management approach. This will solve the email problem facing many individuals.
Hey, thanks for the reply!

Couple of things, repos can get pretty big, how are you planning on storing things? Using the HTML5 storage? Kicking it down the drive? If it's with HTML5 storage after that guy found a work around allowing sites to completely burn through a drive browser devs might start putting a cap onto the limit of storage that you can use.

I don't know, I'm a big fan of getting tools to everyone, but I'm still wondering if this sounds like a great idea, without actually being a great idea.

EDIT: that last line might be a little overly harsh looking back on it, it's not that I don't think it's a good idea (definitely is!) but I'm wondering if it's a great idea that's worthy of a Kickstarter.
The article mentions blocking invites, not messages themselves, so there's not really any content to use as a basis for spam filtering.
What other e-mail providers do you use, if you don't mind? A primary reason I use Google Apps mail is for the spam filtering.
It depends very much on the type of work you are doing. If you are building a brick wall, then spreading out the hours isn't going to make much difference - it takes 100 hours to build that wall or whatever. Music practice is very different though as simple hours are probably not enough - you'd need to really engage with and commit the music to muscle memory (I'm no musician, just guessing).

Something like making a CRUD web app is probably closer to building a wall than perfectly playing a concerto. If you're trying to build in a brand new feature into your web app that requires genuine creativity and a difficult algorithm, then you'll probably find that creating that feature in a single intense session while still fresh is going to work far better than trying to patch it together across a day of interruptions.

> you are still no less dead

Well, therein lies the rub.

Q: What is "you"? What does it mean to be self-aware? What is the "self"? Are we each a separate self-aware entity? Are we all just reincarnations of the same conciousness? If you build a sufficiently advanced simulation of a brain, will it be self-aware? Can you be reincarnated as a machine? Can we link two brains together in a way that results in a single conciousness? Do people who have had their left and right hemispheres separated have two "souls" now? If the universe ends in heat death and some spontaneous fluctuation causes a true vacuum to appear, inside of which a completely new universe is born, in which thinking beings emerge, can you be reincarnated as one of them? Do things ever end?

so, I need to get 74 other applicants to 'unlock' my area. I get that a networking site has very little to offer if its empty, but I have some issues with your approach to rolling out cities.<p>74 is a heck of a burden to put on a new user without any real gain. if I could round up 74 other potential members, why wouldn't I start my own regional network? OK, lets say that I could get those users signed up for you. what's in it for me?<p>even if I receive no direct benefit getting folks signed up, you could have told me what that threshold was at the start of the application process before I've had to ask permission from my references to include them in the app. of course, if you knew the region did not have the sufficient users to offer me any value yet you designed a process to extract my information regardless, that's just disappointing.
The coolest thing about the barometer foe me, is that you can do interesting pedometer + altitude change sorts of apps. Walking 10,000 steps with 2,000' change in elevation is a lot more calories than 10,000 steps with 0 change in elevation :-)
Firefox does not provide a fine-grained permission model for extensions.
I'm not saying this is going to happen at all, but I wonder what would happen if Google had to end up putting all its horses behind automated cars and Glass (because of changes to the search marketplace, of which these changes we're seeing are just the start of a response to). In 20 years we'll be driving Google Cars and we'd tell our grandkids "You know, Google used to do email" to their great surprise.

In real history, this is like telling kids that Nintendo used to make Japanese playing cards.
Using the .. to traverse up the directory tree during a move operation is simply beautiful!
You also seem very ill informed about Coro

On the contrary, I've used it. And Go. I know what it's like in practice which do not, and this makes your claims sound very ignorant to me.

So, no, _You do IO in the regular way and the scheduler is automatically invoked_ is a bullshit claim; this has all the weaknesses of Node.js's event loop, and the need to write small things that yield, or here in Coro world, cede, regularly.

This is proof of your ignorance. It isn't like working with an event loop (but it is compatible with them, ultimately giving you a better option for parallelism than Go.) I was going to mention how rarely `cede` is necessary, but I had honestly forgotten what it was called. You need it exactly as often as you need to write `sync` or whatever it is in Go. Seriously, you can write the exact same program as far as where and when calling concurrency facilities are and you will get the exact same concurrency profile in your program.

I'm not sure what you think the wrappers are for, but they introduce non-blocking behaviour into the library calls you make by, as I've said a few times now, invoking the scheduler—that's how this all works after all. There's no compatibility problem either, that's BS you came up with like just about everything else you've said about it.
I think it would be beneficial for Chrome (Android as well) to allow for an app to have a dynamic set of permissions.

Instead of requiring all web access just so an app can perform an action on any page (when you decide for it to) - what if a specific user action could grant temporary/permanent access to a domain? E.g. Clicking an icon if the app is in the toolbar, or selecting a certain action from a menu.

Chrome has a way to prompt for temporary permissions - but this brings up an alert box, and that is never ideal, it would be nice if the user interaction could be taken for permission.

This is a great example of a whole bunch of people who need to open their eyes to the internet around them. There is no "RSS apocalypse" happening here. Use your browser. Use your email client. Or, perhaps the most incredulous option that nobody seems to be considering.... search for a new app.

Seriously, Firefox's built in RSS handling works great. Why are people so uptight about losing a service (provided by a company notorious for canning services like this, no less) that they access via a program that provides the same functionality? It's just stupid, and I really wish everyone would just collectively shut the fuck up and just move on. No, this is not an apocalypse, no this is not the end of your internet.

so... cron's a 200kb self contained C program, super simple, does one thing, and does it well.

Chronos is built on top of frameworks, needs a few services to run.

Certainly it has value, but marketing it as a cron replacement is wrong imo. Chronos is one of these "web-server-service-tool" thingie, but no, it's not cron.

That doesn't really strike me as relevant? Many "businesses" are one or two people. Obviously "giant" is subjective but considering the largest companies are a few orders of magnitude bigger, I maintain what I said earlier: Only people who are immersed in the startup world consider Dropbox a "giant" company.
I thought the same thing when I read the first description. But as an owner of an Rx7 (mazda's rotary car), I can assure you they are not very clean. In fact, they tend to do worse on emissions testing than cars from the same era, at least my older one does (an '88). Also, the "shockwave" part suggests this may not have sparkplugs...?

If this engine really can combine the exceptional power-weight ratio and small size of the rotary with modern fuel efficiency and emissions control, it could be a legitimate contender. I don't really get why the article claims it is good for hybrids though; is it just the weight factor? You could make a small rotary hybrid right now if you wanted, if weight was the issue.

I'm not saying "they suck" at all. Just providing a piece of anecdata. So most of us on here work on the web and it would be standard for us to work with source control.

Software controlling an oil field is a step above the bog standard CRUD app that powers most of the web. I'm very surprised that such a mess up could happen, and so was my friend who was in charge of the project.
A good starting point for that would be to allow invites from people you have already added to your contact list, i.e. X@example.com authorised Y@gmail.com to get status updates and Y added them to their contact list, but authorisation requests from X to Y still appear to be dropped.
The very next sentence points out that the customer may be passed out and unable to form any opinion.

Just reading your quote, though, (I read the comments before the article) I thought that the article was going to talk about how hard it is for even informed people to opt-out of expensive procedures. There was a news story just a week or two ago about a nurse refusing to perform CPR despite 911 demands, but the home the patient was in was set up to explicitly not perform CPR.

Ezra Klein has linked before to "How Doctors Die". Here is the last HN talk about it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5104430 (it has links to the prior talk on HN) Even doctors have to jump through incredible hoops to avoid ending up getting drastic procedures done on them, and even then there is no guarantee that the doctor in charge won't override your wishes and hook you up instead.

It's fairly standard for big corps to outsource software development. They see software as a cost centre, and in some ways it is. Even at a loss of $5000 per day they may have still come out on top in the long run.

Hey Dropbox, build MailDrop. I will pay you to replace my Gmail
I'm curious how this would work out if they had studied amateurs taking up a new craft from scratch instead of jumping into their established lives. Have a large group take some sort of test to measure starting ability then give them the journals and a set amount of time to learn.

When time is up (say a few months to year?) have them come back and review the progress objectively along with their scheduled journals to find patterns between relative progression and time utilization.

My completely subjective opinion is that in a strongly controlled study you'd never get such black & white results. There are people who have a better natural ability to learn certain tasks than others. While I played an instrument in school I was never phenomenal but I exceeded many kids who practiced several hours a week to my maybe combined time of an hour weekly.

Gaming is similar: get a group of friends to all pick up a new game and play it for an eve, judge who got better by the end and there will always be stand-outs. Some people will have adapted abilities and skills from other games/tasks to advance; others may pick a important subset of the overall skills and hone that for the time to develop a depth of knowledge while possibly lacking a breadth but the skill gap almost always develops and you can't contribute that to time invested so much as natural ability to adapt.

Spam filtering by now is pretty trivial if you don’t mind being an ass about standards - require valid HELOs, valid hostnames, valid PTR records and valid A/AAAA records for these PTR records and hostnames listing the connecting IP and you will hardly get any spam.

Add to this ‘temporary addresses’[0] and train your spam filter on everything send to invalid such addresses and basically nothing gets through.

[0] I use a scheme where my website and mailing list addresses are of the form claudius_YYMM@example.com. Mails to these addresses are marked as spam after the 15th of MM+1 and before the 15th of MM-1. Obviously only works for mailing lists if they’re open to non-subscribers as well.

Presumably the best players also KNOW that they are the best--doesn't that make it easier to relax? How do you control for this?
Ha! I think Google must have realized that over the last two days I have deleted my Google+ and youtube accounts, shut off/deleted blogger, purged Chrome from all my desktops, laptops and phones and registered for an @jabber.org XMPP address. And I'm not the only one, my friends are all on board with excising the hydra. Still hesitating about the effort needed to migrated from gmail, though. Time to organize exodus parties.
Agreed, that's definitely the weakest statement in the article. Mozilla does a better job here by having human editors review extension code.
46% of all bankruptcies circa 2007 were medically induced.

There were obvious problems with Warren's methodology. If I live in a system with excellent government healthcare, and I end up paralyzed, my family might still go through bankruptcy because they've lost their primary income.

The number is more like 1/4 than 1/2. 26% of bankruptcies have medical debts exceeding $1000. Obviously that includes someone owing $4000 to a dentist as well as someone owing $450,000 to an oncologist, so the real number is some portion of 26%.

Merriam Webster and the Oxford English Dictionary already accept the use of "literally" to mean "virtually" in informal contexts. It's a losing battle.

Honestly, I think math education fulfills that job of code literacy to a great degree. It's good to understand how computers operate and be aware of code, but 'everybody must code' to me always has a subtext of 'I like coding, why don't you?' I personally don't like the endless reinvention of wheels, the omnipresent long variable names, and the widespread language fetishism of coding. I mean, all code runs on top of electronics but I don't think everyone should spend part of every day wielding a soldering iron and I doubt you do either. I think a lot of people prefer coding to electronic engineering because they don't care for burning themselves and sticking wires into their fingertips on a regular basis.

Cool idea, and nice execution. Although, I generally work in environments where I have auto-complete or documentation integration of some kind in the editor itself, so it's been quite a while since I've used a cheat sheet...maybe for MySQL if I ever use it again...never seem to become fluent in it.
Perhaps all data access by extensions should be logged. It wouldn't be of much interest to most programming laymen, but it would be more accessible/understandable than pointing them to Extension Gallery and Web Store Inspector so they can look at the code. I wouldn't recognize well obfuscated code that can grab my CC#, but I can recognize the number itself just fine.

At the least, it would let everyone know that their extension's activities are being watched. And laymen knowing that extension authors know that this activity is watched would be reassuring to the laymen.

Could such logging be done by a separate extension?

Here's how we did it at Backerbase.com.

The first thing to do is hypothesize/define as narrowly as possible who your early adopters will be and then start looking for where they're hanging out together online. (They will be hanging out together because early adopters are obsessives.)

Once you've found where they are you can approach them directly at that online hangout or launch a simple email marketing. (Hint: People's online handles are strongly correlated with their email addresses. Another hint: There are lots of taskrabbits who are good at finding email addresses.)
