Interesting that while the public seems to generally underestimate the risks and even the existence of climate change it appears to overestimate this particular risk. Probably something to do with the salience of natural disasters versus other the less dramatic effects. Very hard for the public to get this stuff right.

Every time programming fonts comes up, I always have to plug using proportional fonts. For me, anyway, it increases readability in any language that isn't super symbol-heavy (Obj-C, for example).

As an extremist libertarian, one whom doesn't even want the FDA to exist in the first place, I can say that the failure of the FDA to control this outrageous overuse of antibiotics is just insane.

Even extremist libertarians think that the government should be able to exert its' powers in order to prevent contagion. This is a clear example of the government failing in one of its core responsibilities.
The same can be said about guards protecting an exit, and, in all honesty, security portals probably present fewer risks than guards, especially armed guards, where there's a reasonable possibility that building management will risk a lawsuit to forcably detain someone trying to leave: false arrest alone is better for all parties involved than false arrest plus battery and likely injury.
That's interesting. So can you put an index on a TEXT column in PG? From what I know, you can't do that in SQL Server/Oracle, you can only use full text searching (I think).
Or you can use Supersonic or Madsonic, which are forks without the "forced donation for open source software" problem.

We need to stop saying "reform". These people want more patent protection; those people want less. They both want patent reform, so we're gonna give it to them!

Probably more like confirmation bias and cherry picking. Pretending you have data on this is laughable.
You don't even need nginx or a cache. Bog-standard WordPress, no extra plugins, behind only Apache, will handle HN front-page traffic without falling over. All you need to tune is httpd.conf and my.cnf; the reason these sites die is that they allow more Apache processes to spin up than their little VPS actually has RAM.

The httpd processes push the MySQL posts table out of the OS's filesystem cache, the newly spun up processes eat up all the free memory, and you start swapping and the whole thing falls over. Turn off keepalive, set the maximum number of httpd processes to a number that leaves enough RAM for the DB and filesystem cache, and the blog would be fine.

My blog's been top of HN FP a few times. It's just apache/mysql/wordpress on the smallest Linode, sharing it with a half dozen other sites.

>I actually worked in shadow IT for a while, too - once I had the skills, I made the switch, and my salary doubled. But now what? Did I top out already? No meaningful advancement until I retire?

Well, the doubling is going to be harder to do again... it will certainly happen much more slowly. But moving from real it in the flyover to real IT in a big coastal city can give you a giant bump; you can also give management a shot, or try to start your own company. Really, if shadow IT paid $15/hr, and you doubled to $30, yeah, you could double again if you are reasonably good and willing to move to a big, expensive coastal city. $60/hr is downright easy if you are willing to be a contractor and work through a body shop; it requires a bit more skill but is still eminently doable to do as a full-time direct-hire with good benefits.

Note, my experience has been that if you can gain some network and Linux skills, "production IT" as it were, you have a reasonably large advantage over the windows-only folks, at least in terms of pay.

Pay, for SysAdmins, seems to scale more with how expensive the thing you are supporting is than with the actual difficulty of the job, so... keep that in mind

I picked up a 1996 Honda Civic DX that needed a new clutch and master cylinder ($500 including labor) but was otherwise in great shape (maybe 1 year left on tires/brake pads) for $800.

Sure it had some irrelevant body flaws (bumper paint was flaking a bit and there were some dings on the panels, nothing larger than the size of a half-dollar) but for $1300 and 26-28mpg, not a bad deal at all!

Just scour Craigslist and local (physical) boards.
I don't have Marfan's, but I did suffer a ascending aortic dissection in aug 2009. It was repaired with a Dacron stint. (Basically about 3" of my aorta is now artificial.)

This sounds like a great thing.

I have some personal experience with the related problem. At age 60 a gradually increasing "murmur" led to a diagnosis of Aortic Ectasia[0], a stretching of the ring of muscle that is the base for the aortic valve. As the valve widens, the three leaflets overlap less and the valve doesn't seal properly, making the heart less efficient. In addition my ascending aorta, the big arched tube that is the subject of the above article, was stretching in the manner described. These effects can be the result of Marfan Syndrome[1] but I don't have any of the other signs of it, such as long, spidery fingers and toes (fold your thumb across your palm: if the tip of the thumb projects beyond the outside of your palm, you should read up on Marfan).

The "garden-hose wrap" method described in this article was not mentioned to me, probably because it would have no use on the more important failure, the stretched valve.

However, I was given a clear choice of replacement valve: metal or tissue. Tal Golesworthy presumably would have had the same choice, but the article doesn't mention that there is a choice.

The metal (actually metal frame with a carbon-fiber flap) replacement valve lasts pretty much forever. On the minus side, it sometimes has a harmless, but audible "tick" noise, but its main drawback is that it can be a source of blood clots, hence the need for the lifelong course of blood thinner. Miss a few days and you could have a stroke from a clot.

I opted for the tissue valve, which is taken from a pig (or a cow, if you object to pork products). All its cells removed, leaving only the collagen form, so there's no host-graft immune reaction. It's silent, it doesn't encourage clot formation -- but it doesn't last forever. At some point in the next decade I'll need another one.

The new valve and about 7 inches of new Dacron aortic arch were sewed in. The surgeon commented afterward that my removed aorta "felt very soft" and was "poor quality tissue" and that I was "fortunate" that it hadn't failed.

This leads me to wonder: a common failure mode of the aorta is Aortic Dissection[2] in which the tube delaminates. Rather than bursting, the lining separates from the supporting wall, and high-pressure blood gets between the layers and spreads them, reducing the cross-section of the pipe. (It's reputed to be one of the most painful experiences possible.) My wonder is: while the "hose-wrap" fix described in this article might prevent ruptures, would it be an effective preventative for aortic dissection?

SPDY is a common sense protocol in many ways. It seems simple but it has quite a few wrinkles when implementing it properly.

As a way to learn Go I started a Go SPDY library[1] and to demo it also released a SPDY proxy and origin server [2].

At this point we're about to release a service in our startup to do streaming.

I'm looking for users who want to bang on this library and help shake more bugs to make it more and more solid. Interested? :)

We're using browserify for the dist files, which pulls backbone and underscore in. It's actually 33k by itself.

We're also in the process of getting rid of those as hard dependencies (jquery, underscore, backbone).

BMW says has orders for nearly 10,000 of its electric i3 cars
I do not think that's true. It obviously took a serious amount of time, money, and testing to implement stuxnet. Double the cost and risk might still be do-able. 10X the cost and risk might not.

The level of defense - in this case an air gap - raised cost and risk. That added back bag job to plant the infection, or a bribed operator to the cost and risk. If the SCADA software ran in a VM as a guest OS, and booted from read-only media, stuxnet might not have taken hold, and the bribed operator might have been discovered by forensics on isolated infected systems.

At some point the cost and/or risk exceeds the value of the target or a reasonable threshold for the chance of success. Even when you have infinite money, you don't have infinite time or infinite risk tolerance.
Based on the bar at the top, it looks like Xcode 3. I just tested with Xcode 5 and it kerns "AW" in Times New Roman correctly.

Yes, indexes behave the same on TEXT columns as they would on CHAR or VARCHAR ones.

That wasn't my point. What if there was a cancer treatment that costs literally billions of dollars, so that only a few people in the world could afford it? Would that cancer treatment be a "luxury," or would you consider it a basic need for all humans?

Confirmed: this is a fantastic end-user experience. Clicked the link on my Mac - it opened iTunes and autofilled the Redeem code, no clicks necessary (aside from providing my passcode). Excellent execution!

Again, my feedback for your landing page is to let people try it, and the concept will sell itself. I'll definitely think of ways to incorporate this into projects moving forward. :)
That screenshot is pretty old, from Xcode 3, back when I first switched to TNR. I have no eye for kerning, so it didn't bother me then, but it looks a bit better in Xcode 5: http://i.imgur.com/rRxUpDY.png (included quoted text "CHARACTER SPAWNING" so it can be a/b compared).

After figuring low-carb on my own (I never had heard of it before), and making my nutrition person (forgot the name in english for that profession) cringe, it worked wonder.

First, I started to lose 1kg a week, until I was in a healthy weight (when the weight stabilized instead, without much adjustments to diet), and my choleterol that I was fighting for years, dropped to healthy levels in 4 months, also several other broken blood levels got fixed.

Also my sleep got better, and for the first time in my life going to the gym made a difference (before that, I could go to the gym all I wanted, and I would never get stronger, and I was very weak, sedentary 14 year old girls could lift more weight than me in the upper body).

But that is just a anecdote, it happened to me, I did no research to see WHY it happened, it just did, and now I stick with that diet.

Where did the skeleton tracking come from?
I'm not sure if there's a more condescending word than "cute".
Absolutely, but maybe there is more then one wrong here. Plus the nutrition you get from mass farming these days is less then desirable. It's not about quantity ,but quality as the cliche says.

I understand this is not possible everywhere but I grew up on a pretty small suburban home that grew maybe 50% of its own vegetables outside of winter. Having moved to a heavy industrialized nation and moving that down to 0% I can see the difference in quality when eating mass produced food.

Again, not everyone if willing or able to do this, but where applicable it should be encouraged and promoted instead of looked down upon as another hippy mentality blabedibla...
Actually, that scenario has happened. It was never tried in court, but yelling "Fire" in a crowded building has happened.

I bought a 1998 Kia Sephia for $1000, with 92k miles on it. Drove it for 2.5 years when the transmission started going out on it at 142k miles. Sold it for $450.

After that bought a 2001 Hyundai Accent for $1000, with 96k miles on it. Drove that thing until it had 136k at which point it started having some issues that would be expensive to fix. Sold that after owning it for 3.5 years for $900. I put about 4k into it, including oil changes, AC charges, and various other bits of maintenance (timing belt was expensive). I don't think I did too bad.

Both cars were bought in Phoenix, AZ, the Kia was sold there too, the Hyundai I sold in Denver, CO since I had moved there.

The Hyundai got fantastic gas mileage at about 30 Mpg with city/highway driving (about 50:50 mix). The Kia a little less at 28 mpg.

Both the Kia and the Hyundai were reliable for the time period that I had the car. Had I put some more time into the Hyundai it would probably have kept going without issues, I just was in the position with work and my finances to be able to go and purchase a car rather than continue putting money into a car.
The airlocks are not at all of the terminals, so it's not surprising you didn't see it.

Here's a PDF explaining the airlock rooms at PHL (they call it a "secure exit lane system") with photos:
http://www.aci-na.org/sites/default/files/tufts.pdf

If you look closely at the metal turnstiles in the bottom-right photo on page 8, you can see that there are glass doors between them. These separate and close by sensor to allow only one person at a time through the exit passage. This room is, by necessity, fully covered in cameras, and as other posters have said, it's a short jump from this into something with software recognition that locks the doors and waits for the armored men with clubs.

Sure, it's a far cry from the firetraps that those glass tubes in Syracuse are, but this method of containment is not new -- we were just not really paying attention to it before.
Sounds incredibly obvious.

Does anyone have extensive experience with Pandas vs R?

I'm a long term R user, though I'm not exactly a pro and I honestly don't really like some aspects of it. I've looked a little at Pandas and it seems to do some things a lot better than R. My only grip is that the Python environment is a lot more of a PITA than R's CRAN system.

Does anyone have some insight?

"We deliver multiples of 12 bottles at £2.50+VAT per bottle."

That's US$4/bottle for lazy converters. On the high side if you're coming from sourcing your own, but not horrible when factoring in delivery and the variety. Not many people would get through more than 2-3 on an average Friday while they wrap up work. I like the idea.

Here in my office, we get cases of craft beer direct from the source and pay cash. What's $65/case in a bottleshop is $50 direct and is there at all times rather than just Friday. Beer lasts pretty well, so it's rarely an issue to stock up in advance.

I think these guys should revise the "5pm at the latest" to more like "midday at the latest". I wouldn't want to be waiting past 2pm some tough days or 4pm any time. Not in the "desperate alcoholic" sense, but as a comparison to "how it is at the moment".

Regular subscription would be the key to income. Any spares can be saved for later or taken home. Could even stock up in advance and deliver mixed cases with tasting notes pretty easily, rather than a dozen at a time.
