Anyone know if the Pi will work with a Chameleon3 USB3 camera from flir.com? If anyone has computer vision coding experience with a setup like this, pls email me (profile), contract opp potentially.

Love the edginess and design, but taking the user off-site (to the oflows.net domain, whatever that is) for sensitive application forms doesn't build a lot of trust imo.

Re:Lyrics Site Genius.com Accuses Google of Lifting Its Content

I wonder how many companies Google has wounded/killed with their search infopanels. For example, yesterday I searched for “speedtest” expecting Ookla’s speedtest.net to be the top result. Nope, now it’s a one-click speed test offered by Google at the top. Great for users, devastating for the sites at the top of the SERPs.

So true. Be aware that you may have no symptoms in your legs at all, and still develop pulmonary embolisms.
As an otherwise healthy and fit adult male, my first symptom of my PE was a sharp stabbing pain in my chest when inhaling. Thinking I was having a heart attack, I self-admitted to the ER. I had 12 PEs in my lungs, and with ultrasound they found a 3" long deep vein thrombosis under my left knee. My left leg had absolutely no symptoms or pain. My PEs and DVT resolved with a 6-mo course of blood thinners, but I was lucky. PE mortality rate is around 15-20%.
Set your "stand up" timer for every 90 minutes and actually pay attention to it! And it wouldn't hurt to take a daily baby aspirin (probably should ask your doc first).

Ask HN: Anyone else seeing an influx of Nigerian scammers in Facebook groups?

That’s surprising, given the CDC’s view on the matter:
“[Small rodents] are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans.
In all cases involving rodents, the state or local health department should be consulted before a decision is made to initiate postexposure prophylaxis.”

Squirrels (and others rodents) virtually never get or transmit rabies, so that’s not really a concern.

Neat coin! I just launched a coin project[1], but by carrying them in your pocket they’re meant to remind you to look for opportunities to help someone and then give it to them to pay forward. My first coin[2] has helped at least 3 homeless people in its short life.

Cats can right themselves in about 12 inches.
The problem is they land with legs extended down from floors 1 to about 7 (bad: impact is transmitted up through shoulders and hips), while higher than about floor 7 they spread their legs out and attempt to parachute (better: impact is uniform over entire ventral surface, terminal velocity is lower, mortality rate drops).
