one nit to pick... there are still people stuck on slow connections. they are not always there by choice. In some cases the infrastructure is lagging the advances in content proliferation. when you get to dialup (the remaining ubiquitous and typically unlimited connectivity) running HTTPS where it is not needed is painful. v90 is only able to achieve compression on HTTP traffic. HTTPS traffic ends up moving at 40-50% the speed of HTTP traffic. While data security is certainly a valid objective, not everything moving as HTTPS needs to do so.
A laser scalpel (designed to deliver large radiation doses) can also kill someone if used improperly. Does this mean I should be afraid of a malfunctioning flashlight burning my head off?

Medical radiation machines deliver 45-80 Gy. The backscattered x-ray machine delivers 1e-7 Gy, if I've got my math right. That's roughly the difference between a punch and a nuclear bomb.
Looks like you're getting downvoted, but really the OP should be downvoted for bad writing.

"in the past 7 days, my partner has failed to make ONE meeting"

Dear OP, this states that your partner has made it to 6 out of 7 meetings. I know you didn't actually mean that, but that's what you said (well, typed).
You're correct that the particular tools and XML everywhere culture of the Java ecosystem isn't a property of Java itself. However, the verbosity and corresponding lack of expressiveness of Java does, I think, have an impact.

Elegance seems to be much more highly valued in the Lisp world than in the Java world.

> 4) asking the owners to pay for the replacement due to tesla's own screwup.

I had an email from Tesla yesterday about this recall and as far as I can see I will not be expected to pay anything. It even says that if someone had the part replaced at their own cost that they might be able to get a refund. I live in Norway and have a 2015 S 70D.

The email says:

"Tesla har besluttet å frivillig og proaktivt tilbakekalle enkelte Model S og Model X som er bygget før mars 2018 og som er utstyrt med et 8 GB innebygd MultiMediaCard (eMMC) i MCU som kan oppleve en funksjonsfeil på grunn av akkumulert slitasje. ... Hvis du allerede har betalt for reparasjoner som er tilknyttet til denne tilbakekallingen, kan du være kvalifisert for en refusjon."

Google Translate does a good job on it:

"Tesla has decided to voluntarily and proactively recall some Model S and Model X that were built before March 2018 and that are equipped with an 8 GB built-in MultiMediaCard (eMMC) in the MCU that may experience a malfunction due to accumulated wear. ... If you have already paid for repairs associated with this recall, you may be eligible for a refund."

Hackaday's 'article' seems to be conflating what Tesla wanted to happen (and what they actually did before) with what is happening now.

Or is Tesla in the US expecting owners to pay now as well as before?

I'm getting a bit bored of all the raytracer content on hn. I suppose my problem with it is none of it is especially creative, it's kinda the same maths rendering the same sort of things, except maybe in a different programming style or language.
Technically you get dividends.
As a counterargument, proof of work takes all the energy it can get: because bitcoin automatically makes the work to proof more difficult.

This means when there is more available energy it's lucrative for miners to put more energy in the system. However, no more bitcoins are outputted. The only extra output is heat from used hardware.

In some other related topic on HN, someone compared it to a car, where more energy would not just mean more miles driven, but an equally longer road.
And from an anonymous leet hacker on Techcrunch:

(EDIT: this doesn't work, as lisper pointed out below)

I haven't worked out the details or explicitly proven that this will work, but I think the following algorithm should do it:

1) Count up the number of even numbers in the list and compare it to the number we'd expect if the list was "right". This will either be correct (in which case both missing and dupe are even, or both are odd), high (the missing one was odd and the duped one was even), or low (the missing one was even and the duped one was odd).

If high or low, we've just pinned down the last binary digit of each of the numbers.

If even, the digit remains in an unknown state.

2) Slice off the last digit.

3) Repeat 1) and 2) for all 64 bits.

4) Now we have our missing number in the form 001001x1...xx01x (64 bits worth), where the x's represent digits where the missing number's digit matches the duped one.

5) We know the difference between the missing and duped numbers because of the triangular sum formula N(N+1)/2. Use that to solve for the xs in the missing number. That equation will not be possible to solve in general, but the statement of the problem here assures us that it will have a solution; further, I'm pretty sure that as long as the duped and missing numbers are not equal, that solution will be unique (EDIT: it's not, and this method doesn't work at all :P ).

Maybe I'm missing something, though? Haven't thought this through too deeply...
- Keep it short and sweet, most people are email overloaded and don't have time to read the details

- Tell an amazing, interesting story about yourself and your idea

- Your email "Subject:" must be optimized for a click through, especially if you're hustling a CEO or busy exec. Make it attractive and craft it: it can't sound spammy, but it has to be out of the ordinary.

- Know your target; mention relevant facts and how they can help you

- Lead them to an actionable conclusion (call me, skype me, lets meet for coffee)

The ultimate objective of an email pitch isn't a the end goal (such as a hire, or investment) - it's getting that next-step phone call or meeting. Keep that in mind and you should be good!
> [Richard Dawkins] Already one of the world’s foremost evolutionary biologists

Minor nit: I don't think Dawkins is actually a foremost evolutionary biologist; though he's the foremost popularizer of evolutionary biology. I do enjoy his writing on it.

single page: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/What-Defines-a-Me...

> They interact with each other and with other mental forces in the same brain, in neighboring brains

I prefer this description than Dawkins' because it includes competition and combination within the one brain, something that genes cannot do within the one body.
Well, first of all if they had used more geographical regions (I don't know what the official amazon buzzword), they shouldn't have real bad problems. I don't know about you, but I believe mission critical systems should be hosted in at least 2 physically different data centers. When it's life critical, this should be a no brainer.

Second of all, according to Amazon PR speak this failure should not be possible. Every person in IT worth their salt should know PR speak is not to be trusted. Being reliant on AWS for your average business app is completely okay though. However, hosting apps which might endanger peoples lives on black box technology over which you have little influence is moronic imo.

Last but not least I seriously question the privacy implications of this. Hosting parts of your medical app in the cloud is fine and I don't know the details of this app, but I wouldn't be happy to know that my medical history is stored by some third party I don't entirely trust with such sensitive data.
Yes. I agree that we need to hide some comments that really don't add any value.

Years back, I used to be an FSF member. Not that I liked the GPL much (in fact, I mostly use the Apache License), but they raised important issues, and had a track record of investing into fine software (GNU) that I benefitted from a lot.

However, their campaigns were getting so off-target, that much of my sympathy dwindled, and I ended my membership. Childish 'anti' advertising, such as 'BadVista' and DDoSing Apple's genius bars (gee, that's will convince anyone who was visiting an Apple Store) only made the whole free software movement look bad, childish, and unsocial. To this day, they seem to put their energy into almost hilarious campaigns (Windows 7 sins? Seriously?).

This open letter is on the mark, their current course only marginalizes the FSF and part of the FLOSS community. Whatever happened to relying on your own strengths, rather than caricaturizing the competition?
This weeks outage asks an interesting question regarding hosting providers such as heroku with their "rock-solid ruby platform". I've always taken part of their offering to be that I don't have to think about infrastructure beyond the abstraction that they provide. Perhaps incorrectly I've been under the impression that paying for their service means they will worry about things like redundancy across availability zones or regions leaving me free to just build the app.

I'm a huge fan of heroku so I'm really just trying to clarify, are these services offering to take care of my infrastructure requirements or do I need to think about adding redundancy/failover etc. myself?

edit: http://www.heroku.com/how/architecture#routing-mesh is what set my expectations.
For those of us who might not know, this is using Node.js, correct?
They could have made it open source because they knew they were under pressure to backdoor it, so wanted people to see what happened without explicitly telling the world... Or not. It's a fun theory though.
iTunes, Google Music, Soundcloud, Spotify, etc. are all competitors in this situation. YouTube is a LOT less than 99.9% of the music distribution market.
Ok, I understand how you'd run a CPU emulator written in JS, in a browser, but how do these things get raw socket access?

If you're running in a browser, all the network access you get is HTTP AJAX, right?
That wouldn't stop anyone with deep pockets(Microsoft, Apple) from taking a shot. Netflix or Twitch may be in a good position to adopt departing YouTubers, as well.

If the content creators leave YouTube, their audiences will follow them. It's definitely an opportunity for someone, the question is just "who?"
I wanna expand on this, in relation to Hadean Lands.

I wrote HL in Inform 7. Could I have written the game in a more traditional IF language, such as Inform 6? (I6 is C-like.) Answer: yes, but it would have been a bunch more work and a lot more frustrating and painful.

The English-ish syntax of I7 takes some getting used to. Yes, you have to free yourself of any attachment to brevity. I7 code is verbose. The hidden benefit is that it's very easy to skim through and re-read. All code is write-once-read-many-times, right? You may be comfortable with "gruecount++", but "increase the grue counter of the location by one" is just as intelligible (and more so for people who didn't grow up on C).

The real strength, for me at least, is I7's rule dispatch model. Big swatches of HL's code look like this (yes, an exact quote):

Ritual-processing rule for rit-speaking anaphylaxis-word when at RSChymicStart and the bound of rstate is the retort and the reservoir comprises grey-acid-subst and the retort contains exactly perfect-diamond: [...]

I've got hundreds of these little code snippets, and I trust the compiler to stitch them together into a working state machine. If this were I6, I'd have to write giant functions and collect these snippets together -- in the right order, etc. If this were an OO language, I'd go crazy deciding what object each snippet is a method of. I7 just takes the above and runs. (Okay, I have to worry about the rule ordering a little, but I7 mostly gets it right.)

(You can see that I've forced some brevity in, by careful definition of the words "at" and "comprises" and "contains exactly". I like hyphenated-symbols too. Those are personal style choices.)
> I'm talking about the kind of person who has guns for "protection", of which I'm acquainted with a few.

I have a gun which is used for protection, namely from black bears which tend to frequent the spots where I go ATVing. They've also made their way into town a few times, so it's not that long of a shot.

It's also always worth remembering that the police are an average of 5-7 minutes away in the event of an emergency. What that means to you is different than what it means to someone else.

Also, to be fair,
Guns are used an estimated 2 million times a year by civilians to "protect" in the US. Here's only the latest incident I've come across, where a couple were saved from injury or intended death (as admitted by the perp) because they had a gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84359240&v=0UXe9seMabc...

It's a bit disturbing, crazed guy breaks through door and gets shot 3 times, not fatally. A situation predicable enough that they had a video camera running, although it got knocked over about when he fully entered the apartment and got shot the first time.

There are a very few people who apparently are "hoping to have a chance" to use their guns to shoot somebody else. We generally hear about them because of the word we have for them afterwords, normally: criminals. I'll let you judge for yourself how eager this guy was, he lets go of some of his verbal and emotional self-control once the assailant is on the floor in pain and not so much of a danger anymore.

ADDED: Ah, yeah, just renewed my CCW license, and asked the person about how many state licenses are outstanding in my county, Jasper of Missouri in the SW corner, includes ~90% of the city of Joplin. About 5,000, about double from 3 years ago, which means a solid 5% of the age eligible population. We've clearly indicated we have a desire to be able to use our guns to "protect" ourselves and our loved ones (8 hour class, $100 for initial license, $50 for every renewal); I kinda doubt that many of us are are "hoping to have a chance" to "protect" ourselves with our guns....
I don't know. I played PC. Also, achievements in a game like ME are stupid and ruin immersion. Turn them off if you can (on PC version I don't recall them popping up in game anyway).

As for romantic subplots - they are very good and the game will totally hijack your emotions through them.

> I'm sure someone will mention that Rust could give me

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. There is no need to game the system, as Rust lets you pass pointers between threads while enforcing that they are used safely. Rust lets you be as fast as an unsafe language while as safe as a managed language; the tradeoff is that you have to give more thought to your design up-front (which, given the pain of trying to reproduce and fix race conditions, is more than worth the effort IMO).

I believe ComputerGuru was talking about the merge into the left lane of the intersecting road while exiting the highway and turning left. It's not the most intuitive of arrangements, especially when combined with the left-hand exit following shortly. Hopefully the drivers on the intersecting road will be sufficiently surprised by the arrangement to break the usual expectation of the left lane being a through lane with higher speed.

In general yes, but as more and more technology gets added to the stack, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep everything running on port 80, which is the only port your users should have to hit on a web request. Take web sockets for instance, I have to run that on an off port because I can't run it through nginx yet.
Handset makers actually want to make you buy another phone. It's completely not in their interest to upgrade your device, they want you to buy another.

That's why I don't get how google thinks their hands off scheme has a snowball's chance in hell of taking off. Handset vendors aren't going to just start supporting the latest version of Android out of the goodness of their hearts.

Now if they can get the specs of the required system down to about 1/2 the cost of what it currently is, then that's less of a problem: We can buy new phones without worrying about them being upgradable. But in the current ecosystem, with the current costs of phones, and the current unwillingness of google to put their money on the line getting manufactuers to update their builds, Android plain loses to iPhone, which is very very sad for everyone.
FWIW before the introduction of electronic computers as we know them, "computer" was a job description (think of folks, usually women, who calculated tables for e.g. artillery).
That is way too long for web,let alone mobile, consumption. What's the TL;DR version?
My guess: Google/YouTube just had a really bad
day and tried to shoot themselves in the foot.

As they continue with such nonsense, they will get
a lot of push back. Then, or eventually, they will
see their mistakes, wise up, and quit being nasty.

In the meanwhile, Zoe has little option but to
f'get about YouTube and let them hurt themselves
and, then, consider YouTube again after YouTube
wises up.

But it should be not too difficult for Zoe to
bring up her own Web site that permits downloading
and/or streaming her music/videos. E.g., consider

http://www.carolinegoulding.com/

the Web site of violinist Caroline Goulding which
at times has had some streaming of some of her
music and links to some relevant video of hers.
And then there is also for her

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwNiUK9sNBA

If such a site for Zoe becomes popular, then Zoe
could run some ads to get revenue to pay for the
site.

A site that is small or even larger than small
should be fairly inexpensive, especially if just
hosted at Amazon or some such. Or, a computer
plugged together from parts for less than
$2000 and with, say, 35 Mbps upload speed to the
Internet for, say, $90 a month, should be able
to be a significant start. Get usage enough
to max out the capacity of that site, and should
be able to get some revenue way beyond what is
needed to run the site.

There is something fundamental here: The basic
technology in infrastructure software,
Moore's law, whatever the similar law is for
disk space, optical fiber data rates, and
the prices of these that permit YouTube to
send so much content free to users and for
many months with few or no ads permits
many others, including even a single artist,
to put their content on the Internet also.

Good luck to Zoe.

Asymptomatic transmission was indeed suspected but a german doctor actually discovered a case and published the first paper about it.

i am so surprised that, for a community of people that see themselves so rational, there are so many who effectively deny the existence of adhd.
