That's a little backward. If you were going to the moon (either human or robotic) and wanted to operate there for any significant length of time then it becomes desirable to have a source of renewable power on site.
You nailed it. Journalism will always seem "challenged" on a topic on which you are an expert. If they don't completely screw it up with factual errors, give them an A+ and take everything else with a grain of salt.

I worked on a biofuels startup for 2 years, focused on a lesser known crop. During that time I did not read a single article on our sector which did not contain major factual errors.
I can't even believe Emotional Support Animals are a thing. People are so feeble.

To paraphase the saying, we will go out not with a bang but with a whimper, when people have their ESA animal taken away from them.
Maybe true, but the bits he's picking out are kinda wrong IMHO. WPF hasn't changed much since it was first done in the mid 00s, Microsoft didn't put the same improvement into developer productivity for WPF as they have for ASP.NET (Webforms -> ASP.NET MVC, vNext etc). WPF workflow is still painful despite it being around for nearly 10 years and Xaml as a concept being around longer.
Since this is a backport of a new feature from a new protocol to its older predecesor protocol, it is not necessary to be so wary of slightly uglier features. Simply having “Alt-Svc: http/1.1:443” imply HTTPS would do fine to solve this specific problem, and I doubt anyone would really have a problem with it.
There may have been a key that allowed the NSA that access, there may have been a backdoor, but the object with the name "_NSAKEY" was not it.
I think the line drawn would be easy: they cannot collect the data themselves, they can only use what you fill in on a form they present. Then the line is basically whatever you feel comfortable telling them, knowing it will be used for advertising. The incentive would be the standard reason ad companies give for targeted ads: given there are going to be ads, people would generally prefer they be relevant.
2 grams of a lot of drugs will kill you. Most doses are in the 50-100 mg range for common drugs
There are two separate ideas at play here.

1)The credibility of the WHO in regards to the CCP.

2)The culpability of CCP in regards to covering up the pandemic which began in territory it controls. Allegedly this outbreak began in November. Doctors who warned about it were arrested.

Your response references a third issue

3)Western officials had sufficient time to formulate a 'better' response
The article explained how the fragment part of the URL (everything after the #) isn't sent to the server. It's only client-side.

So even if the URL isn't encrypted in HTTPS (it is though), it wouldn't matter.
The real difference is that only targeted ads pay so much better that they can sustain a wealth of free products.

That effectively puts advertising dollars into the pockets of consumers who get services for free that they otherwise would have to pay for.

The only companies that are going to be pissing away money on untargeted ads have multinational brands that barely need advertising in the first place.
when you break up carbon emissions by industry, you get a lot of buckets that make up <10% individually. you can't ignore all of them because they're too small to be worth optimizing.

also, instead of focusing on optimizing emissions per mile, why not ask how many flights are actually necessary? at the same time that we invest in electric vehicles, cleaner power generation, and public transit, we might also ask if it's really necessary to vacation overseas. we might ask if video chat could replace flying to meet the board or a client.
While there's a lot of truth in this comment, at the same time, the domains are wide enough that there are a lot of similar usages, and teams that decide to use one, the other, or both.
Targeted advertising is not the problem. The problem is it motivates them to collect too much data about you. And once they have it they can misuse it or give it (voluntarily or not) to someone else. There already have been cases when Google reported an innocent man to the police so he was put in prison.

You're making the same mistake I made with my startup.

From my comment you know:
1) I'm on HN, so I'm automatically sympathetic
2) I'm smack dab in the middle of your target market

That should have caused you to swing into sales mode. You're telling me what "we think [hypothetical] developers might appreciate." Hypothetical developers will never pay you any money. I might, if you can convince me not to write the GC integration code next week (Not a joke, I am actually gearing up to test a new game with it this month).

What would I do with a GC lite? In my experience (and from talking to the apple engineers at wwdc), GC looks really easy to integrate. It's also free. If your play is to do less than GC, how will you compete with free?

There are some things that GC is doing wrong. Maybe you can improve on these. But you haven't touched on anything that specifically irks me about GC yet. So I have no reason to buy in.
> Delegating those things to other people when you can afford it (or at least when your time is better spent elsewhere) is also part of maturity.

How is that? There are plenty of completely "immature" people who can afford it. And plenty of "mature" people who cannot.
Congratulations. Although the items here on HN tend to end up on the work side, of the work/life balance equation, its nice to see an article like this and a comment like yours to help remind me and everyone here that there is a great deal of importance and focus required on the life side of things.
I like the improvements in terms of getting rid of the full justification (which is proven to be harder to read) and shrinking images, but.. multiple columns? Scrolling sideways isn't typically a pleasurable experience and you can still have a thinner column with vertical scrolling with Readability. I wonder if it'd be possible to have multiple columns but with a "paging" mechanism rather than horizontal scrolling?

I'm going to try this out on the iPad, though, as it'd be nicer to get more on the screen in landscape orientation (the one I use 95% of the time).

It's cool that JavaScript makes this sort of personalized customization so easy and kudos for the effort in making something that's pretty slick. Even if I don't like the layout, we need more people doing things like this :-)
Some people will always fail to reach some goal the same way some may naturally gravitate to it whereas another may need a little work and yet another a lot of work to get there be the issue beating addiction or paying your bills on time.

"Free will" is not some state of consciousness that exists completely isolated from your biological processes, experiences etc. And, quite importantly, if something like it is assumed to exist, it will not be the same level of "free" for everyone.

That said, it is most certainly worth trying to reform one's bad habits. It is just not necessarily fair to make a moral judgment dependent on their success. Naturally this then extends to the bad habit of making moral judgments so I guess that gets us nowhere, which is pretty much how the universe works.
You can summon dons anywhere on the Internet by using the magic word "Haskell". I don't know how he does it but it is amazing.
I do have precedence in logic, right? Alexa/Siri/etc must listen for their voice cue prompts to activate, and discarding all other discussion. So I must trust that corporation would discard if not applicable. Without a hardware cutoff switch for a mic - it is blind trust, isn't it?
Getting users to opt-in will be very hard given the current partially justifiable negative vibe, so that will likely not happen at scale unless opting in results in a clearly better experience. However, if the majority of users jump into the Apple ecosystem before those clearly better experiences are materialized, there will be few remaining alternatives for Apple users to compare to and change their mind regarding tracking. Consequently there will also be little incentive to improve the software using user data.

If your engine is running, your battery won't even feel those electronics. Your alternator/rectifier is pumping 13.9v so long as the engine is turning. Your 12v battery definitely should not be drained by anything unless at a very low idle/off.
We know Russia does not care about Sweden.

It didn't care much back then either, except that Sweden was completely surrounded by NATO on one side, and the Soviet realm on the other. To get to Norway in time you'd have to go through Sweden. To control the Baltic Sea you would have to take the island of Gotland, or at least make sure the other side is denied Gotland.

Our defence was just to avoid being caught between a rock and hard place. The idea of not joining NATO was that standing outside of it, we had at least a slim chance of avoid being dragged into the bulk of the NATO - Soviet theatre of war. AS NATO members we would have been hit by default.

How can any of this be hard to understand? Especially against the backdrop of World War 2 being in living memory, and that being neutral worked then. Just barely and from luck, bravery and evil in an even mix, but it did work.

It's not in the strategic interest of Sweden even today to let Russia play divide and conquer. NordStream is such an attempt by Russia to divide Europe, and Sweden has protested, weakly. Russia does not care, of course. Nobody expected it will.
Clearly not the brains of those certain congressmen and women that sold off before the crash...not to mention their constituents they likely gave the tip to while maintaining a different political posture publicly. Curious what kinds of bucket loads of cash they made and continue to make shorting with continued access to inside info including classified intelligence.

My MBA is my favorite computer also: for running IntelliJ, Emacs+Lisp, Rails development, etc., it is great to use. I do still use a MBP for one customer's work because I need a ton of services running during development.
Been using Unity and natty for a few weeks now. The only feature I really miss from the gnome interface right now is the ability to add / move / remove toolbar widgets. Has anyone figured out if it's possible / how to do this in Unity?

Overall I feel a lot more productive with Unity. The numerous super- functions are really helpful and nifty. I especially like the super- 1-9 for positioning/resizing windows on the current monitor.
According to this CNN article: "in a January 2010 interview for Reader's Digest, founder Rob Kalin finally revealed the secret: "I wanted a nonsense word because I wanted to build the brand from scratch. I was watching Fellini's 8 ½ and writing down what I was hearing. In Italian, you say 'etsi' a lot. It means 'oh, yes.' And in Latin, it means 'and if.'"

Apt is the only system I've ever felt fully comfortable with when doing upgrades. It was neither a problem under Debian nor Ubuntu.

Do you have a tendency to make system changes that get in the way of the upgrades? (i.e., where has it gotten stuck for you before?)
Actionscript / Adobe would be jehovas witnesses. Its annoying, but prevalent and always at your door 'would you like to talk about updates? I have this great Flash video...'
It's sad that you need a AV/Spyware scanner for phones...

Sure, it makes sense that you need one, given that it's essentially a small computer, but apps that make it into the official market place or one that's held in high regard should screen apps for exactly this type of behaviour.
Maybe not. I've already spent $20-30 on iPad audio books for my son, they highlight the words as they are read, he loves them. iPad is his favorite toy, unfortunately, I've found out: I bought him a Stinky the Garbage Truck for $50that he's been talking about and he still wants to play with the iPad. And he's 4!
Serious question for people that are familiar with Tor: given that we've already seen people get arrested for simply running an exit node, have features like hidden services made it any safer for someone that agrees with tor's purpose (providing a less restricted end point to people that are censored by their governments) to keep an exit node running?

It seems to me that arresting an exit node's maintainer for child porn serves to have a real chilling effect on the system. As much as I'd like to provide, say, a dissident with a means to voice their opinion, it's not going to help when the cops cart away the exit note and haul me off to jail.

I guess what I'm thinking is that hidden tor services sort of 'close the gap' when it comes to problems like I describe above, since conceivably a political dissident could post to a hidden service (never appearing on the Internet at large) and have something of an intermediary in a country with greater freedom post it for them?

I did finish high school, but I hadn't even finished Alg2; I've shored up my math in recent years through self-education - through Algebra1-2 and some Trig, but I would have to take at least three semester's worth of mathematics classes in order to meet the prereqs for the community college's associates of engineering...

I've thought too, that economically it would make more sense for me to continue working on my startup and be able to pay for school later. Whilst maybe shoring up my math with one class per semester till I'm ready for the real deal.
Except, their pricing starts at $2,500 per year for 10 devs. Holy shit.

I'll bet they sell scads of it to companies with more money than they know what to do with, but that seems crazy to me. As wonderful as github is, it's still just source control.

Here's hoping gitorious will get sanely installable at some point (i.e. `apt-get install gitorious`, not "oh my god": http://gitorious.org/gitorious/pages/UbuntuInstallation). I'd pay something for that.

Yes, but my real name is the same as that of Julian Assanges lawyer so JavaPDF seems a lot safer...
You mean, wait for a few years (saving up?) and then just go straight into a four year? Maybe doing a class on the side here and there to prepare? That's the direction I'm leaning in.
> But it would make programmers and things that deal with logical time much easier.

But as the article points out, programmers and others who want to work with time without the hassles of timezones already have such a system (UTC).
Sounds like the plan is just more bolt-ons. Unless we are converging on a universally preferable society, this is a struggle that will go on forever as society evolves. I do agree that institutions can't be destroyed, as they're simply abstract concepts, but they can be disarmed in such a way that their influence is inconsequential (from the perspective of voluntary association).

I do think the future is bright, the free exchange of information being key.
It's not so much about 'worth' but fairness. How would you react if you discovered a coworker doing the same (or inferior) work got paid twice as much as you? You might be getting paid a good above-market wage, but most in that position would become jealous and jaded over time. I don't see any way around that.
> And I'm not sure if it is one that can be fixed through legislation

Well, one think the government could do is to cover pay during sick leave, parental leave and child care leave (i.e. when children are sick). This would also benefit startups/new businesses, where employees being sick/pregnant is not just statistics, but can make or break a business.
> I read about a case of a girl taking ketamine and then going outside and succumbing to hypothermia.

Turner and this woman's case are covered in _Ketamine: Dreams and Realities_ http://www.maps.org/books/K-DreamsKJansenMAPS.pdf , by Jansen; he argues that there are extenuating circumstances in those cases and it's not as simple as 'ketamine killed them'.
Well, you can increase your paycheque by getting promoted... If the 'heroes' are the ones that get promoted, then they are getting more then the unsung heroes.
I don't understand what you mean. A business has to produce output that others are willing to pay for. Sitting around reading and spending time with a girlfriend are not things most other people will pay you for. It's easy to value a person as an individual - it's quite another thing to take money out of your pocket and give to everyone you 'value' because they are individuals.

Twitter's own iOS client most certainly supports swipe to go back.
>I wonder what are the numbers for the two groups of people "I must have a number pad" and "I don't use it".

I would be willing to bet that the first group is much larger than the second group. Anecdotally, it seems to me that the people who don't use the numberpad are touch typists, for whom the cost of moving their hands off the home row outweighs the benefits of having numbers spread out in a line. People who hunt-and-peck, on the other hand, seem to appreciate the spatial locality of the numberpad.
Different meaning of 'time'.

Why can't we have two scales of 'time', one for marking what we'd now call 'absolute time' (an arbitrary clock that is the same all over, E.G. UTC) and another for 'time of day' (in a given location); they should also be displayed uniquely so that it's not possible to confuse one with the other.

Let's pick an arbitrary time. As a high tech society no longer ruled by sun dials we should instead make the start of the scale 'dawn' (on average). 'noon' would be at 25% of that scale, 'sunset' at 50%, midnight at 75% and 'dawn' again would be 100%/0% where it loops.

I think 00 Monday might be good shorthand for 'dawn' Monday, though most would still say 'dawn Monday', however 10 Monday would be a good marker for when you might want to meet someone for your daily dose of caffeine. 40 through 60 might be when you'd prefer to eat dinner.
Funnily enough, it's sufficiently tangential to the linked post that I have considered deleting it.
16 displays so you can save the time it would take you to switch desktops and physically move your chair around to look at different windows instead? I bet it looks really fancy and cool.

Don’t forget, they often control the domain registration, have had huge influence in the formation of the languages sites are written in, in some cases the languages the server is written in, even the backbone and last mile delivery of those bits to the user, etc.

Clang will very aggressively optimize with -O2 (or whatever the max speed optimization is). It think gcc and MSVC as well.

I was experimenting with a simple indirect-threaded interpreter, which I wanted to write in a "nice" style (1 function per opcode) but have compiled in an "optimized" way (state machine). Playing around in Godbolt, I found out that the compilers managed to detect & optimize even indirect tail calls, i.e. tail calls to function pointers. This was indeed on a toy example (i.e. like 5 functions, not a real interpreter with 100 different opcodes) but still truly amazing.

The reason for this was, I was trying to replicate LuaJIT2 - Mike Pall was complaining that the reason interpreters written in C are slow is, that the compiler cannot optimize & register-allocate a large function containing a switch statement for 100 opcodes. Instead, he wrote the interpreter in asm, and made sure all important variables are kept in registers. My thesis was that we could do the same thing by having a bunch of functions tail-calling each other, with all important variables as parameters (which would be optimized into registers). Better, actually, because the compiler could improve register allocation within each "opcode"/function.
Yes. You generally just should not write a recursive function in a language without TCO/TCE.
How can you be such in quantum !?

Hello from Izhevsk.
Being in the zone is more acute and recognizable when one plays an outdoor sport for a moderate period of time. I used to play tennis competitively and I could clearly tell when I was in the zone. It would be amazing, I would feel like I could take on anything my opponent would throw at me and without even breaking a sweat. I would expend very little effort but still end up playing the best tennis of my life.

In programming, I doubt if it's as easily discernible. I've been programming for a few years and had a few productive stretches coding 8-10 hours at a time(with small breaks in between of course), but never felt like I was in the zone even once.
Emacs is a Lisp interpreter. Expect even more interesting things to be built as performance is improved. I believe there is an effort under way to get Guile to process Elisp. Emacs could become the foundation for a lot more apps.
