Ask HN: It felt like dying
Before it happened, you remembered looking at your stomach. There was a twitch. An itch? Maybe a pain. You're not sure, but it grabs your attention. Next, your hands and feet are sweaty and start shaking. This is usually the feeling that overcomes you before getting sick, but you've never had the urge to take off your clothes like you do now. It's hot and they're keeping you from breathing, holding you down, and constricting you. Your mouth has never filled with saliva this way before. That tingling in your feet and hands have never spread up your body and to your spine. You can't swallow. It's in your head now. Static starts to take over your vision and hearing, tunneling your perception and fixing it to a point. The only thing that matters now is staying awake. No one is here to help you, so you have to stay awake. Don't close your eyes. It feels like you're being torn away from your consciousness. Each second multiplies the force that is pulling your mind into this chasm of fear. At this point you are certain that you are dying. Your thoughts fill with worries and regrets, and then pleading and begging. These thoughts only help confirm that something is wrong.

The doctor told me I had a panic attack. I was hoping for something a bit more concrete - something that could be fixed. Not a diagnosis that the knowledge of, worsens that very condition. Now I have this worry that it could happen again at any moment, and like before, I'll be by myself when it hits.

Have any of you experienced anything like this before? Did you go to the doctor? Has it happened more than once? Have you felt one coming on, then successfully prevented it? If so, how?

I realize this type of behavior isn't helpful for calming me down. I also realize that HN isn't a medical community. I'm posting this here because this is the most mature and considerate public forum I participate in.

Thanks for taking time to read.
Aperture on OSX.

I have folders one for each year. In each folder I create projects. Projects fall into two categories: big events (holiday) or generic (flowers, random family snaps, etc). Big events follow this naming scheme: MMDD - <event name>. Generic projects just have meaningful name. If an event is really big (like 2-3 weeks travel) I would create a set of albums in the project to group the pictures.

I try to tag and geotag all photos, but sometimes that just takes too long, so I don't have 100% tag coverage. I only adjust very few photos, mostly before printing or posting/emailing.
I'm sure that the PR department is not busy fixing this technical issue.

Phone.com Closes $2 Million Round
I switched to Fastmail from Google Apps a month or so ago and absolutely love it. Really fast, great web UI and works better with desktop clients than Gmail (none of the weird label issues, duplicate folders, etc). The entire migration process was very smooth too and the support always got back to me within an hour or so.
Actual result: People drive 10 over the new limit.
Sounds like a good opportunity for a third-party (robots.txt ignoring) tumblr indexer.

That said, yahoo's probably trying to remove NSFW content to fill the ad spots that they're invariably planning on throwing down everywhere, so I'm not sure how well an indexer would do on its own.

Export options were my first thought too. The bottom of their website [1] says, "Your data is yours and you have full conrol over it, so you can export or delete it at any time." I'm curious what that actually means though... how can I export it, and to what formats?

Make Windows 8 more like Windows XP.
I speculate that this is because Javascript takes stuff from Self where loops are functions.

So probably Javascript was meant to write something like:
while(function(k) { ++i; return i < k; });

where the while function would call the closure until it got false at which point the while function itself would return
so having var declarations be hoisted was not a problem in this syntax because everything (including if and while) would have its own scope due to being a function
>You are not supporting a thing, you are supporting keeping that thing from someone else.

Here lies the crux of the debate. You think straight people are keeping something away from gays. But I think its gays trying to take something from straight people.

Let's say I lived in a country that banned marriage entirely. I would still get married and it would be enough for me and my family to recognize that we are married. Gays can do the same thing - they're not restricted at all in what they can do these days. But they want something more - they want everyone to be forced to recognize their marriage. They get infuriated when straight people don't want to recognize them. So they are taking something - our freedom to interpret our own reality. This is a kind of rabbit hole type revelation that spans many other issues and underpins my fundamental opposition to statism/slavery.
Win32 is the only official way to "side-load" applications to a Windows box (ie. not through their store). That's reason enough for me to reject Windows systems that don't have an open Win32 environment.

Every recent architecture change was used to lock down Windows:
Windows on x86-64 enforces driver signing harder than Windows on x86.
Windows 8 enforces Microsoft signed Modern UI apps.

Windows on ARM enforces full lock down (drivers, Win32 apps, Modern UI apps, bootloader).
It also prevents those signed Modern UI apps to run their own JIT. While one could argue that this is for security (inability to mark data as executable code after the fact, and so on), it's not even possible to use the CLR JIT on your own dynamically generated byte code, which might be a crude workaround for other VMs (JS, Java, ...): add a CLR target.

If the CLR JIT is considered unsafe, Microsoft should disable it altogether (but that would slow down the platform even more), but if it's safe they should make it available to developers.
This isn't about security, it's about their competition.

Open Win32 is what keeps Microsoft somewhat honest (since they can't simply lock it down that way, as long as they keep caring about compatibility). The only redeeming part of the Windows on ARM story is that it doesn't matter commercially. May it stay that way.

Wait, is this baity title the work of the submitter? The actual article is much less sensational: "Reading for graduate students".

They could be. What do you know? These people have a culture that spans 60 thousand years, way longer than anything that forms the basis of our culture.
I haven't read "Save the Cat" so I can't speak to it specifically, but the article doesn't do a great job of selling me on the idea that the book is responsible for the sameness of movie plots considering that for all the examples of "beats" given in the article, I can think of dozens and dozens of movies that hit those beats well before 2005 (when the supposedly ruinous screenplay manual was published).

If anything, it seems like the book was just clearly documenting what nearly every writer was already doing anyway, in some cases basically as far back as three act storytelling has existed (even prior to movies existing at all).
Share price is diving? As compared to what?

Well for starters let's compare MSFT to AAPL. Here's a chart comparing them over the last 12 months:

http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=MSFT+Interactive#symbol=m...

If that link works correctly, any unbiased party will clearly acknowledge that in the past year Microsoft is up 15.5% (including today's slide) while Apple is down 30.0%.

So - the question becomes - precisely whose share price is diving? The clear answer is Apple, while Microsoft has done little but gone up over the last 12 months.

> Straight couples can reproduce with their spouse - gays cannot. That's not just a difference, but a complete opposite.

You're just stating explicitly the implicit argument I was refuting, but ok:

The difference is immaterial for our purposes. The fact that one or both parents in a family do not have a biological link to their children is irrelevant. It's a curiosity of genetics that has little-to-nothing to do with how a family functions on a social level, which is the level marriage laws operate on.

Are we banning adoptions and step-children now? Society has no reason to outlaw couples that can't reproduce together. Homosexuals can adopt, they can use surrogates, they can have children from previous marriages (ended in divorce, or death, etc). As long as we're think-of-the-children-ing it would be better all around to let those children grow up in families if possible.

More importantly, that's not a difference between heterosexual and homosexual couples - it's a difference between couples. Many straight people can not or will not reproduce with their spouse either - are we going to ban marriages between infertile people? Force people to have children?

The point is this: if you pick at random a married gay couple...and then pick at random a married straight couple....the difference between them will be no greater than the difference that we already tolerate between heterosexual couples. Therefore, you cannot argue that we must ban gay marriage on the basis of preventing some problematic aspect of gay marriage - any "problem" gay marriage is one heterosexual marriage also has. It's a largely artificial distinction. If not being able to have children together is SUCH a big deal, then argue against that and let gay couples be banned under that banner.

If you're going to ban it on the basis that a gay couple is statistically much more likely to have quality X, then quality X must be a VERY serious thing. Infertility is not serious enough to qualify.

Note too this situation may change. The science of reproduction is ever evolving and changing.

> These are good reasons in my opinion.

> is that I don't want the definition to change

This is either silly and arbitrary, or begging the question.

You don't want it to change why? Because you believe laws should never change? You're afraid of all the paper we'll waste printing out new forms? You don't want to have to memorize new legislation?

No, let's be honest - you don't want it to change because you don't agree with the proposed change. That's fine...but just state that instead of coming up with some silly dodge like "I don't want the definition to change".

> I don't want my children having gay propaganda pushed on them

Here I suspect is your most honest; you are against it because you don't like homosexuality. Fine, that's your right to feel that way. However you should just be honest with yourself and others and admit that, instead of providing silly and flimsy rationalizations which fall apart under any scrutiny.
Thanks :) The links are much appreciated! I have to say, purely from an artistic point of view, there's something a lot more dramatic about the raw images than the final one (at least to my eyes). I think it's a combination of the contrast, and the fact that the object is too big to fit in the frame that gives it a sense of scale.

Leave them alone.

They've somehow managed to stay alive through tens of thousands of years and limited interaction with us. People have approached them over decades and they have made the choice numerous times to push out the outsiders.

Despite this, I went down a rat-hole of trying to find out more about them... and then decided thats where it should end. I don't need any more information than what's already out there. Anthropologists need not find out more while risking their own safety and the survival of these people.
The point of a patent is a state sanctioned monopoly.
Seeing that all startups are essential equally likely to be sued with all the bad patens that are out there, by simply having an army of attorneys behind you it seems you could significantly reduce your risk.

I saw my first Microsoft store a month ago. It looked exactly like the Apple Store I just came out of - except the tables had a different shade, and there was nothing comparable to the XBox360+Kinect station in the Apple store.

They've been copying "things that work" for so long, and up until a few years ago, it just worked. And now that it doesn't, it seems that they have no idea what to do.
1. I agree, Google must do something to inform users about these auto categorizations

2. I doubt they will populate primary inboxes with ads. They created promotions tab for that so they must've thought about it long and hard. Believe me, when people like me who work in ads businesses think about introducing new ads/formats, we worry about lot of things. Ads are not about making money. Ads are about ensuring users find them useful, brands also demand that. Lastly, even if I run ad related business, I'm an average user too, I have my family who have no clue about how digital advertising works. So whatever decisions I make is important for me, my family and my users given it's implications.

3. Google axed some of the products you mentioned cause they were not sustainable for them. I doubt that will be the case for Gmail. It's most popular web-mail service.

4. No they can't as far as my knowledge goes. But someone might figure out a way to block them.

5. I was part of invite only club in 2004. And I also miss some of the cutting-edge innovations that gmail brought e.g. storage, speed, agility etc. I personally find these auto categorizations to be extremely useful. It has cleaned up my cluttered inbox. And ads are also part of it but their impact is minimal.
> Straight couples can reproduce with their spouse - gays cannot. That's not just a difference, but a complete opposite.

Not really one relevant to much of the legality around marriage. About the only thing it even remotely connects to is the presumption of paternity (the default assignment of legal parental responsibility to the spouse of the biological mother of any child born during the marriage.) And, even then, its not really a problem. There are two different forms of the presumption, and which is adopted varies by jursidiction.

Rebuttable: In this model, the concept of rights and responsibility of biological parents as preeminent is maintained, but the spouse is presumptively assigned parental rights and responsibility, but this can be reversed if there is evidence that the spouse is not the parent. Obviously, in the case of same sex marriage, this is resolved simply, as the evidence is readily available to rebut the presumption in all cases.

Conclusive: This model is based on the priority of the marital relationship over biological parenthood for raising children, and in jurisdictions adopting this this model the spouse of the biological mother is conclusively assigned parental rights and responsibility with regard to any children born during the marriage. Obviously, there works just fine in same-sex marriage.

So, the same-sex-couples cannot reproduce with their spouse thing is a difference, but not one which seems especially problematic with regard to the legalities around marraige.

> The reason I'm against gay marriage is that I don't want the definition to change

That's not much of a reason.

Why do you think the current definition of marriage, the result of continuous change over an extended period of time, is so perfect that it should not continue to change?

> and I don't want my children having gay propaganda pushed on them.

What does that have to do with equal marriage one way or the other? You think that continuing to deny equal marriage is going to make gay rights advocates less vocal and omnipresent?
Escaping Callback Hell With Core Async
Legal bill = billing rate * hours billed.

The number of hours billed is very dependent on the structure of the law. One of the goals of courts is to streamline the law so that cases that don't have merit can be dismissed quickly and easily. If you follow litigations in the popular press, you'll see that a lot of lawsuits get dismissed on "technicalities" (i.e. procedural rules). E.g. the EFF's NSA litigation is in danger of getting dismissed for a lack of standing (i.e. dismissal because the plaintiff can't show actual injury). Courts create these procedural barriers because getting to the merits (i.e. looking at the facts) of litigation is time-consuming and expensive. Courts also create other barriers. For example, in a shareholder suit, there is something called the business judgment rule: i.e. in the absence of a conflict of interest or something like that, a court will defer to management's superior business judgment. Rules like that allow shareholder suits to be evaluated and dismissed based on facts that are easy to prove without having to reach facts that are expensive to investigate and prove.

In patent litigation, there is precious little of that. Patent litigations very quickly become a very fact-intensive process of interpreting a complex and voluminous patent, getting expert witness testimony about exactly how the defendants product works, etc. Once a lawyer is sitting down with an engineer looking over code, the clock really gets going.

The Supreme Court has been very reluctant to create categorical rules in terms of patentability, and that's largely because the Patent Act is written in a way that makes such categorical rules inconsistent with the intent of the law. But the fact is that categorical rules (e.g. no software patents, deference to business judgment) make litigation cheaper, and that's an important consideration too.

Haswell is significant because of the substantially lower power it requires which translates into significantly longer battery life. Consumers will notice that.

No, of course not. It makes it unreliable as an indicator of the Apple ecosystem's platform status. Which would be fine, were this not the only such status page Apple provides.

I wish that more people understood the difference between science and scientists. It is a shame that so many people give a bad name to science and the scientific method - the best way we know how to discover truth. It's engineered to discover truth. That's all that it's about, the only thing. It's independent of (and unfortunately, quite possibly beyond) any one human scientist's ability to correctly employ it.

Well it depends of course. One of the dependencies is that space is a pretty harsh environment and building systems with high redundancy and checking (especially man rated systems) is pretty important. That said, all of the computation and more that was available in the lunar excursion module can be implemented in triple redundancy within the size and power budget of a mac book air, including 9 degree of freedom IMU.

Dr. Brooks at MIT built a lander system with "modern" (at the time, Pentium-3 level) chips for DARPA and it was pretty straightforward, at a talk I attended he suggested that by this time (actually by 2006) he expected the whole package would be less than $100 worth of parts.

The only 'big' thing left between Earth and a regular visit to the Moon is some sort of on-orbit refuelling capability. Once you knock down that particular challenge lifting the parts into LEO which can then be refuelled and sent to L1, and then refuelled again and sent to the moon and back to L1 to top up, and back to LEO. There are existing systems for all the other pieces [1].

[1] So there are liquid fuelled engines, that can be refuelled under gravity, but none have been tested which can be refuelled in zero G. A proponent at ULA proposed a gas pump that would spin creating the necessary force to move propellant from tank to tank without the need for an additional non-dilutive pressurizing agent. But it is a fair criticism that we don't have zero g refillable engines yet.
