I have a baby girl turning 1 in a few weeks and my wife and I opted to only use glass bottles for her.

More scary, however, is all the stuff they put in everything else. For example, the fire retardant chemicals they use in manufacturing things like baby mattresses, which have been shown to cause neurological issues, especially in children. Look for a tag on any pillows or mattresses that says "complies with California Technical Bulletin 117"; that means it was treated. Also, check out the documentary "Toxic Hot Seat". My wife and I sleep on the floor, with a few blankets, and have slept with our daughter between us since day one (she never slept in a crib).

I felt so unprepared prior to my daughters birth. I still feel terribly unprepared. But I find that I'm a lot more proactive now about doing my own research to at least help reduce the probability that I'll put my little one in danger (and all we can really do is reduce the probability, since massive amounts of misinformation ensure it will be nearly impossible for the average person to really get to the truth about some of this stuff).
In my opinion, if HN doesn't want puzzled people to ask why they've been downmodded, then instead of putting a line in the Guidelines saying "don't do this", they should separate the downmod into "I disagree" and "flag this as a bad comment", with the latter item the one that reduces the text weight. It's clearly broken - people have been doing this for as long as I've been here, and it's not going to change (sadly, 'it' means both the behaviour, and HN's braindead downmod mechanism).

This is a problem that every zeppelin faces too. They can't easily gain or lose height, because that would mean losing the gas they need to stay airborne.

A vacuum ship that actually has a vacuum pump aboard would have the great advantage that it can easily change it's buoyancy using, say, electrical power. It could use this to change height, or compensate for being loaded with materials.

Vacuum ships would actually be a solution to the zeppelin problem.

I'm not saying that proof is bad or result isn't result enough, or that computer cannot help with math research — that would be ridiculous to say. But I strongly feel that all the news these days about results like this one are something that could be called either "overreaction" or "misunderstanding". Using computer to brute-force through hypothesis might be useful, and works like Voevodsky's one are both cool and useful, but when something like that becomes overrated it seems kinda sad to me.

"Machines do the grunt work and leave humans free for deeper thinking", really? Let me put it this way: what is the most important thing about, say, Pythagorean theorem? From the engineer's point of view it could be ability to find the length of the side of right triangle given the other two or something like that. From the mathematical point of view the most important thing about that or any other theorem is its proof. It isn't actually that important that you cannot divide arbitrary angle by 3 equal parts using only compass and the ruler — the way how you prove it is what really matters.

So, once again, autoverifiers are wonderful and so on, but if someone thinks that writing incomprehensible, but correct proofs is as fine as it gets — it's huge mistake to think so. Math is not about constructing and computing, it is about understanding in the first place.
Those tend to fail or be unavailable in cases like this. It's all the rest of the people who need to start lifelogging.
A zeppelin could use compressor tanks to control its buoyancy in an exactly analagous way. Lots of details on how the problem was handled in practice here:

About the only thing I'm aware of that VB.Net has that I really like is an XML Literal syntax that seems to have been inspired by E4X ... that's about it, C# has adopted all the other features that VB had over it. And with LINQ to XML, it's even more limited in use.
Seriously? The baby bottle I had as a kid (27 years ago) was made of glass so thick I can't even begin to imagine what would break it.

It's survived two babies (me and my sister), countless hikes, seaside vacations, boilings, reboilings, and probably a fair share of being thrown every which way. We still use it sometimes because it's handy as a measuring cup and I wouldn't be surprised if it stays in the family for a few more decades.

For comparison, I don't think a single piece of the "camping proof unbreakable" dish set my parents bought when I was ten is still alive.

Glass is tough.

This thread is just going to devolve into a bunch of circlejerking and mock outrage about the evil poh-leece; we clearly don't care as a community enough to actually fix anything.

This is the sort of political article which sucks: no real useful call to action, confirming something we all already know, and ample opportunity for impotent but fevered discussion.

As Data Overflows Online, Researchers Grapple With Ethics
I'm not a compiler expert but I also have the feeling that a new bytecode would be better.

Honestly, 911 Notify is far from the worst troll. Most of their targets are deep-pocket public companies that have plenty of cash to hire big brand law firms.

I think it would be a great use of student time to identify the most egregious patents / trolls and try to invalidate their patents.

At least they didn't put up a light bright. That would have been terrifying.

The paper investigated "implicit sequence learning tasks in which optimal learning may in fact be impeded by the engagement of effortful control processes." (from the abstract)

"Optimal learning" in the context of implicit learning is evidently desirable, and by extension, mindfulness-induced impairment of implicit learning is undesirable. I am not an expert in this topic, but if I had to distill my understanding of the paper into a sentence of plain English I would say:

There is a type of learning which is not achieved through deliberate effort but rather occurs naturally with repeated experience, and this learning can actually be impaired by focusing too hard on the information presented.

The task they tested seems to be a pattern recognition task, as described in this paper: http://www.jneurosci.org/content/27/38/10073.full.

An electric car can charge at night when load is low, so the power infrastructure that is engineered for high demand due to cooling in the middle of the day in summer will work just fine if everyone is charging at night. In other words, the grid is already mostly robust enough to handle this load.
14% advantage over helium makes it seem like it's not worthwhile. Am I missing something?
It isn't that they are not saying much.

It is that what they are saying makes very little sense.

The information from St. Louis County Police Chief is that an unarmed Michael Brown died 35 feet away from a police car, from being shot several times, due to an altercation inside that car.

And that to know anything further will take 6 weeks of toxicology.

edit - in answer to the further point below:

I see it as a problem when there are supposedly no facts in a case of someone being shot multiple times in broad daylight with several witnesses, followed up almost immediately by a large team of police who are fully able to cordon off and investigate the scene, who then claim that they cannot say anything because they want 6 weeks to do toxicology.

Toxicology.

For what, lead allergies?
Alas, the case was dismissed without prejudice, which means the troll can just wait a little while and sue again later.
> I think you're focused on the motor

Did you read your parent post? "What I'm interested in is the efficiency of the whole process"
Strong LL/SC provides the ability to do real software transactional memory. I believe ARM has the strongest LL/SC implementation, with the architecture supporting transaction blocks up to 2KB in size! Although ARM has specified LL/SC such that vendors can choose to only support blocks much smaller than 2KB.

Note that people have totally confused the terms. Originally "software transactional memory" meant using primitives like [strong] LL/SC to get lock-free, wait-free algorithms. Strong LL/SC has been proven to be a universal primitive which can be used to implement most known lock-free, wait-free algorithms.

"Hardware transactional memory" gave you access to lock-free, wait-free algorithms in a much more convenient manner. But really it's a difference of degree because strong LL/SC requires _significant_ hardware support.

These days people (like the PyPy project and most STM libraries) use "software transactional memory" for implementations which just use a mutex under the hood. It's emulated STM; they're just being fanciful.

I believe TSX is more like strong LL/SC. Maybe stronger. OTOH I'm not sure if it's universal enough to implement wait-free algorithms.
On topic, while the criticism towards media is highly valid, i hope this also serves to educate youngsters about the virtues of cropping one's digital history of things of the past which do not represent oneself anymore. People in the media are also only people who wish to pay their bills and will make the minimum effort to get the job done. If loading up a facebook profile shows 20 pictures of a teenager with guns and drugs, they won't bother to search for the one graduation picture, or army entrance picture.
> "This cannot even be achieved using diamond"

The whole concept totally absurd. Helium is ~15% the density of air, so even if you created a material 100x stronger than diamond, it would only outperform helium by a tiny amount.
True. This doesn't solve the patent troll problem. We could replicate the clinic at a few different schools, and maybe win 5 or 10 cases per year out of the hundreds that get filed. Not a solution, but maybe better than nothing?

Unpaid labor - students get school credit, and its way more fun that sitting through lectures.

What I don't understand, though, is that if the goal is to increase spontaneous interaction and collaboration, the donut shape of the new Apple headquarters seems like one of the worst ways to do it. It places people further apart than is necessary, and it introduces a shortcut (walking through what is likely to be an empty courtyard most of the time) that minimizes interaction with co-workers.
Helium is quite expensive, and a limited resource:

http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/med-tech/why-...
Helium is a finite resource- escaped Helium eventually leaves our planet forever; nuclear fusion will probably never produce sufficient helium for current industrial use.
That is awesome, I didn't know they have that.
Or to pick at the semantics a bit: Not all streaks indicate causality. Some are random artifacts.

Easy enough to prove by flipping a coin. Streaks naturally happen and should be expected from randomness.
I can't find the list of supported NICs in the documentation, but I found https://github.com/SnabbCo/snabbswitch/blob/master/src/lib/h... which suggests that only a very small subset of Intel NICs are supported. One of those may be emulated by VirtualBox, though.
They didn't end up doing that. There were some games that were built on top of Windows CE, but the OS was integrated into the disc.
Millions of people enjoy unfettered access to public spaces in NYC a year. You can often walk the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges anytime, 24 hours a day and never see a cop. You are completely free to drive both of them, checkpoint-free, even.

There are protocols for art installations in the parks and there are innumerable private art spaces in NYC. But, barring, you know, scaling the Brooklyn Bridge towers and removing city property, there is plenty of room to make your case in the parks if it doesn't encroach on others.
Interesting - the only 2 daycares I know well enough to know the policy (if you want to call it that), both accept glass - or rather whatever you bring in. Both expensive places in center Seattle. I didn't even know there was another option.

I got pretty far into building an MVC project that I have been working on for a long while in Windows.

I had to manually run the NuGet package restore command, as I couldn't see a way to enable package restore for the project. I set EnableNuGetPackageRestore=true preceding the command and it installed all the packages successfully.

I have run into a roadblock with a MSBuild TypeScript target however. The error message wasn't very telling but I'm assuming it's because it can't find the TypeScript compiler.

Yes, glass. The article talks about all plastics, but in reality is "all plastics that are transparent" like glass.

So if you need to use plastic bottles, use ugly polyethylene or polypropylene ones.

Those are white, like this:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/yasuo68/5970772804/

Polyethylene manufacturing is as simple as it could be, they don't need the crazy additives PET needs.

But those are so ugly companies don't want to use them. PET is beautiful and you could make it in colors like blue-transparent, or red-transparent so people and companies love them.
Presumably so OEMs can sell higher clocked systems without other new features.
What Is Fracking? This Simple Animation Is The Best Explanation We've Ever Seen
I should've been clearer (and I will edit the description to say this as well).

I have a landing page that's self hosted. When someone fills out the email field and clicks submit they get taken to a thank you page.

On that page, I have some custom messaging for follow up actions I want them to take.
I want one of those to be to share the link to the landing page url with x people they know on some social media platforms.

That's what the referral url tool would be used for.

For additional context, see this post where a similar process is broken down: http://roy.roypovarchik.com/2014/07/springsled-users/

You're totally right that Launchrock has this referral functionality built in. The reason for not using it is that it doesn't integrate with Mailchimp - and that's a dealbreaker right now.

Thanks
These were actually very clearly, American flags made in all white. The typical pattern was existent in the construction, if not the coloring.
The police chief gave a brief press conference following the event which was an admitted restatement of the officer's view of what happened, with everything qualified with the word allegedly. Since then his department has lost jurisdiction over the investigation and the FBI has yet to issue a statement.

Neither of which is 'one side' saying anything of any importance. The media has convinced tons of people that they have, but that doesn't actually mean that they have.

People are going nuts over something with no facts in the case. They have the officer's statements via the police chief, witness statements via the media, and a bunch of publicity seeking individuals with no clue what actually happened riling everyone up.

You do not see how that is a problem?

It is a religious term because of the context in which it appears. For instance, the term "Mindfulness" appears along with "Equanimity" and even the conspicuous company name "Asana". When you hear those three terms together, I'd say it's rather unlikely that there's not some kind of religious backdrop to the discussion.

At the risk of being accused of being on your lawn, what do you dislike about email's adoption of HTML? I'm old enough to remember the walled garden "mail" of Prodigy and early AOL, and the advent of inter-network electronic mail, but I feel like HTML is a major contributing factor to taking email from something people didn't realize they had ("AOL gives me e-mail?") to something we can't live without now.

Think about this for a second. You can literally go "crawling all over the Brooklyn Bridge consequence free" anytime you like. It's a bridge you can walk on. You can even drive your car on it. In both cases you're far more likely to be a threat there than on the top of the bridge.

The immediate reaction was that this might be terror related - "NYPD bomb technicians spent several hours checking the bridge for explosives but found none."

They even subpoenaed a parody Twitter account for claiming it "signal[ed] our complete surrender of the Brooklyn Bridge bicycle path to pedestrians"

Not our proudest moment.

Heya author, I've found self administering ketamine I picked up off silk road to be tremendously helpful in managing my depression:

You know, it's quite possible that no amount of investigation will ever reveal definitively what happened beyond the basics of the matter, which appears to be that a cop shot an unarmed kid 35 feet away from the vehicle.

It's possible to start thinking and talking about that before some investigation supposedly reveals all, weeks later.

I'm sure you feel pretty clever, deciding that the real issue here is the State Of Journalism, and the Rush To Judgement, and you're welcome to your chin-stroking and your neutral principles. However, you'll just have to cope with the fact that much of the rest of the country has other things on their mind. Like: "why do cops keep shooting unarmed black people"?
